  1.   In January 2014, all conditional riders are being absolved though aren't they?     npgunner, uh yeah that is some screwed up stuff. The straight couples need to start addressing that issue with management because it costs you $120/year more because of your straight sexual orientation.
  2. Here's one on an actual tank: For the buffs, I would be interested to know how one of these systems would impact the bore evacuator, I would guess these guys in the tank would actually have to be running their NBC systems to keep the gases from back flowing. Not sure if it would bother the howitzers as most of the time, those guys have the back door open anyways.
  3. Close up of the truck, looks to be 30+/- bullet holes visible,which would involve multiple cops, doing multiple reloads. - Or a single cop that has simply lost his mind     http://www.trbimg.com/img-51142e9d/turbine/lat-bcpix-la0008171550-20130206/500/500x305
  4. Bullet holes in the windshield right at the driver, and especially the ones in the back of the truck... I hope those cops get fired and put in jail, and the police department goes bankrupt from lawsuits. I'm all for supporting the police in almost every manner, but bullet holes in the back of a truck? He obviously wasn't trying to get out or run them over.. And hope they get exactly what a civilian would get if they were randomly shooting people that posed no threat.
  5. :rofl: It's for real, and they're already sold out @ $35 each http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/imcart/display.cgi?item_id=hammer&cat&page=1&search&since=45&status&title
  6. correct, keep in mind if you're close to the top of a tax bracket, that the additional $ being taxed from the premiums may also push you over the edge and into a higher tax bracket.   just say for example you're single and currently with your deductions you have $35,000 of taxable income in 2013, you'll be in the 15% bracket. If you make the same money, but no longer have the health premiums deducted, you will have to pay tax on that money + the $4,000 taxable income increase will push you into the overall 25% tax bracket.
  7.   If it's applied with a gun, then 5 gallons would coat a lot of stuff
  8.   Right now health premiums are deducted pre-tax, so you pay nothing on them. 
  9.   Just be cautious when considering a change - I'm in no way a medical billing expert, but we've dealt with more than most people will in their lives. Here's an example:   BCBS basic says you have a copay of 15% on procedure ABC BCBS standard says you have a copay of 10% on procedure ABC, but you also have an annual deductible of $750 for that type of procedure. So you will pay 100% of procedure ABC until the $750 deductible is met, then you will pay 10% after that. - This is why the basic plan (cheaper one) is almost always better for people, although it costs a few bucks more for something, you have no copays and you save $1000-$2000 just over the plan costs themselves (which more than supplement the % differences)   Next, BCBS (either plan) says you pay 15% of the fee schedule for that procedure ABC. GEHA says you pay 12% of the fee schedule for that same procedure, but GEHA's negotiated fees may be 50% or 100% higher than BCBS, so that 12% copay ends up costing you much more out of pocket.   Although BCBS is pretty much universal, you still need to research at the nearby hospitals and see which one they prefer, and which one your family dr. prefers. Heck, call up your dr. and tell them you are contemplating switching and ask them if they can explain the differences that they see on a regular basis, those are the real experts on this stuff.   Maybe atlas also has some more information on the provisions area, but I do not. This is only what we have checked into and experienced personally   * one last thing, BCBS also covers emergency transport. The 12 minute med-evac ride to UT Trauma cost $18,000, some health insurances will not cover that.. It cost us a $150 copay thank goodness. Almost every hospital also has their own life star, or airevac policy you can buy for like $50/year, that is a highly recommended plan if your insurance doesn't cover it.. This is hugely popular with motorcycle riders, but not so much for regular joe's, not sure why.
  10.   The short version is 2014 starts the major provisions; businesses being penalized for not offering health plans if they have 50 FT employees or more, individuals get penalized if they don't buy coverage (this fee goes up over the next few years to astronomical amounts trying to force people into the government provided system).   2018 is the bad one when they start charging a 40% tax on plans over $10,200 for individuals (this is employer + individual cost), $27,500 for families. That's why you see the extra box on your tax forms this years showing how much the employer pays towards your plan too. We're being told it's not being taxed, but the law itself says starting 2018, we go from paying zero tax on them, to paying 40%.   That's just a sliver of the 13,000 pages... people are still discovering stuff every day hidden inside it, so it may be another year or two before they find everything.
  11.     I've got BCBS as well, and do not care how much they charge, I'll never switch. in 2011 I was in a bad bike wreck, racked up over $190k in bills the first 24 hours, subsequent surgeries and therapy, we're around $600k now total. Out of all of that, it has cost us right at $10k out of pocket, we never even reached the catastrophic annual limits. (this is with the basic option as well, we have the cheapest plan they offer - which is still about $300/month). We have never once had a single billing issue and have literally a file cabinet drawer full of bills. Every doctor we have wanted to go to loves BCBS because they know they'll get their money without any issues.   You have to weigh the options that are specific to your situation, but personally, I would not use another provider even if their plan only cost $5 a month.

  13. If someone shot a cop in the line of duty, there should be nothing left of them to convict, 6 years after the fact
  14. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9850996/Rick-Perry-tells-California-business-come-check-out-Texas.html     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGTEGfEoEJo   CA gov. is trying to downplay it, but my guess is in true Texan form (and the fact that TX has $8.8 billion in surplus) that CA is about to get a media blitz like they've never seen :lol:
  15. At least he didn't get ejected like this idiot:   http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=373_1360068647
  16. First rule is to never open up any emails from people you don't know who sent them. There's a little thing called email beacons that verify your email address works just by you opening the email to delete them. They can collect info on the type of device used, software/os, IP etc... as well but this information couldn't really be used for anything bad, you just may end up getting more focused unsolicited mails.
  17. Got my stuff in yesterday and tried them out, they are some pretty *****'n good razors. Someone pointed out that these guys just resell Dorco razors, so I'll be cancelling the subscription and getting a cache from here at a much lower price. http://www.dorcousa.com/ If you're looking to save some $ over the Gillette or whoevers stuff, the 4 blade razor was much better and $20 for 24 razors ($16 savings over that club thing too)
  18. Yes sir, and I'll be sending similar messages once I get back home
  19. So it looks like the way we change an ar15 from an "assault weapon" to a "defense weapon" is to mandate a select fire/auto system to be installed on them, and get rid if the evil semi-auto only
  20.   Just seen he was born in Canada, that throws a wrench in the whole president thing
  21. send emails to the advertisers on the channel, not to the news channel themselves.
  22.   Send some email to the advertisers and let them know that there products are going to be boycotted because of this show.   We need to start getting active like they do to conservative shows and hit them in their advertising. 
  23.   Yep, 6.8 he is setting the bar high and he's been in office less than a month, he is taking the BS head on and hopefully the other flimsy people will see this is possible and stop doing backbends every time the winds blow.
  24.   Or start sending your kids to private schools that teach relevant things
  25.   Possibly, in ways that you don't to find out from
