You are probably looking at around $1000 for a complete setup, Mike. I use a Philips Resoironics CPAP, with a humidifer and a Mirage Quattro full face mask. I've been on my machine since February and I do pretty well. I usually get a good 6 hours of REM sleep a night according to the Dr. My starting pressure was 19, but they lowered it three weeks ago to 17. I can't tell any difference in my sleep, but the pressure is less. They will tell you, you will get used to it in a week or two. It took me more like 3 months, before I was wearing it all night long. In order for the mask to seal properly at 19, my head gear was really tight. Since the pressure was dropped to 17, I've been able to loosen it a bit and it's a little more comfortable. My wife complained about my snoring for several years. Last fall, my cousin died in her sleep at the age of 37. We believe that Apnea played a large part in her death. I decided I needed to get checked. The first sleep test, they hooked me up to all the electrodes and I drifted off to sleep for a couple of hours. They woke me up and informed me that I had severe apnea. I got a mask and they started testing. I found it extremely claustrophobic and fought it. So I had to come back for another test. I am really glad I stuck it out though. Before I started using the CPAP machine, I'd catch myself taking naps at work. Worse than that, I would drift off to sleep driving home on I640!!! I don't have those problems anymore. Go take the test, Mike. Go see your normal Doctor and have him refer you! It's worth it!

Love bbq! M&M is great, especially with XXX sauce, but you better have on your big boy pants to eat it! Dead End is especially good as well! And for good bbq and a excellent Hot Fudge Cake, Buddy's is hard to beat for the price! The HFC makes Shoney's taste like garbage! Best brisket is at Famous Dave's. We cater that a lot at work. I wouldn't walk across the street for Calhoun's bbq. Now their Smokehouse Salad is awesome goodness!

Well put Mark! -
http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/aug/18/suspects-in-deputy-killings-linked-to-extremists/ The Sheriff is saying that the suspects are linked to the Sovereign Nation Movement. I heard that mentioned with the Sihk killings last week. I don't think that was massacre was connected to them, but they were brought up as an example of other groups that might be capable of domestic terrorism.

This! Hopefully the dust will settle after the election!

Frankly, all of them need to go. I am ashamed that Haslem came from Knoxville. Though I do have to stand with Jonin on the religious and moral legislation that seems to pervade the Conservative movement.

Man that sucks! Sounds like you are going to have to get a Lawyer. You might talk to the logging company and let them know that they are expected to keep the road open at all times and the ditch and drains clean and if they don't, then they will be included in any legal action too. If you sue the land owner, they need to be sued as well, since they are the ones actually screwing the road up, at his behest.

Might vote for him just to give the Dems a black eye, if he is still on the ticket come November. Otherwise he is a tool.

Want to get rid of Debbie Wasaman Shultz's???
Moped replied to kieefer's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Don't hate her, but I do find her irritating. But I got to agree with OS, that she ain't going anywhere. Best to marginalize her, by voting in a filibuster proof republican majority in both houses along with Romney. -
They are rare and very popular.
-
You are correct! I need to add that to my list.
-
I really like this little knife! It's one of the ones I'm considering for my next fixed blade. Thanks for sharing!

Nah. Never going to happen.

I suspect we are on someones list, whether a government list or some other organization. I found it interesting that the Southern Poverty Law Center had the shooter in the Sihk Temple in Wisconsin, in their database. Made me wonder who else is in their Database. I also pretty much guarantee that we are all on somebodies list, just for posting here. I knew people like this. Once I figured out who and what they were I dissociated with them rather quickly. I understand that it's hard to do that with relatives. I figured out real quick that people like that are usually wannabes for the most part and ignorant. Not all, but most. I would become a part of a local militia that civic minded and wasn't politically oriented and racially motivated, but I don't know that there are many out there like that, if any.

Ugh to coated blades, unless it's patina. Got a Mora No. 1 right next to me right now! A classic!

For the money, you won't beat Hi-Point with the others on the market. I've heard and seen horror stories with the Kel-Tec breaking at the hinge. Lifetime warranty on the Hi-Point as well. If something breaks on them, send it in and Hi-Point will repair it. I found off brands that sucked. If you like the look of the Storm, you can replace the stock with an ATI that makes the Hi-Point look like a 1st cousin of the Storm. The one caveat, I have about the Hi-Point is use only Hi-Point Mags. And they are a PITA to breakdown and clean, but as OS pointed out, I must be the only one that ever did that. Most people just run a patch down the barrel and spray some oil on the bolt and call it good. If you want to spend a lot of money, why don't you go ahead and pick up an AR in 9mm. They are out there.

Just wait until your child's Senior Year! Then see what the fees will be like!

Why does that seem to be a reoccurring theme with Frontier? I've never been there, but I've read it several times on here. Not sure I want to go. Some of the nicest people I have met are the folks are Sevier Indoor Range. The folks are Randy's in Fountain City seem to be pretty good guys too, as do the guys at South Clinton Pawn. You might take a look over there, Timcar86.

Breaking: Paul Ryan chosen as Romney VP

Yes Fiscal. I plead lack of coffee. -
Breaking: Paul Ryan chosen as Romney VP
Moped replied to plank white's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
He's no Dan Quayle. This guy has a brain! And he is not Sarah, bless her heart. I like her, but she was not a good pick for VP. I think she has been good for the party as a whole, though. The Republican Party needs her. I think Ryan is a good solid pick, imo. A fiscal conservative, who has been out there leading the way on budgetary matters, but I am not sure where he is at socially, but he got an "A" rating from the NRA, if you follow such things. Romney could have done a lot worse. Gov. Christie would have been a disaster! -
I don't usually agree with Navarrette, but on this, I do. You dance with the one that brung ya.

Something tells me, Tempest would be getting a phone call from school if that conversation were to happen! Pretty cool videos! Nice place to shoot too!!!

Thank you, OS! I might take you up on your offer. It's going to be for defense/utility and just for a day to day edc change up. As for carry method, I've stated before that I'm not a big fan of neck carry. It would depend on a lot on how the shirt I wore covered it up. A small flat knife like the little Colt CT might be comfortable between the man boobs, but the rest of the list, I feel, is a little too thick to conceal under a shirt. So I probably will pocket carry whatever I purchase. Grout, I really like the Beckers. I think they are really solid knives that are at home in the bushes, as much as they are on the city streets. But I am not a plain steel lover. I'd have to have scales for either of them and that's where they get expensive. Scales for either Becker are another $20 to $25. Actually, if I were going to spend that much, I'd probably have to consider a Esee Candiru or Izula. The knives are a bit more expensive, but the scales are bit less. I like the idea of a belt clip. The Tom Krein, and the Folts both accept clip attachments as does the Becker.

Probably a little more information than we really wanted to know.
