  3. distilling is an efficient and safe method.
  4. Looks good. Tron was cutting edge theory/concept for it's day and my initial impression was a followup would be a bad idea. However, it looks like they maintained the look, feel, integrity, and story line of the original. Could be pretty cool for us that remember the original and disappointing to the younger folks who are expecting another Avatar.
  5. Uh ... this, whatever it is, has nothing do to with the discussion. Gets old. Disagree with Islam - Islamaphobia. Disagree with homosexuality - homophobia, Disagree with the President - racist, and on and on and on it goes. Argue facts and figures, not t-shirt sentiments. BTW - I would say 15754 Islamic terrorist attacks just since 9/11 is hard to call insignificant. In June alone there were 180 "Jihad" claimed attacks in 19 different countries with 601 dead and 833 critically injured. Islam: Making a True Difference in the World - One Body at a Time
  6. Jaime, the side seam split about half way down and water was spewing out in a 4"-5" long 1/2"-1" thick fountain. It went all at once as far as I know. It was a 60 gallon tank. I had looked at it about a week ago and it looked to be in good shape. No heating issues, noises, leaks, or any other signs I have seen from them in the past. Needless to say a tank-less WH is replacing it. To all the rest, I appreciate your words. I'm not asking for sympathy or complaining rather just trying to encourage others I've seen going through hard times. Your not alone in these tough times. Circumstances may differ, but struggles are struggles. I've preached for years life is about perception and now I'm getting to practice it. While it's hard for a control guy like me not to know what next week holds, I'm having to practice Matthew 6. Key is to not give up. For me, I try to think of Christ being beaten and tortured for my sin. Then caring my cross up a long hill just to die and at that point nothing in my life seems so hard or unfair anymore. Perspective is easy to teach, hard to get, and darn near impossible to maintain.
  7. Folks who start quoting freedom of religion stuff in defense of Islam are either ignorant of history, the Koran, and Mohamed or are foolishly naive. Islam is first and foremost a socio-economic-political movement covered with the cloak of religion. A wolf in sheeps clothing. No different than Jim Jones, Branch Dividians, etc. All the other religions at some point were coopted to be used by governments and leaders for their own purposes. Big difference. All one has to do is compare Jesus and his teachings to Mohamed. Simplistic, but clear. What Ramsey said is true and correct in it's context.
  8. Wow that's harsh Mike, but I gotta agree she's not all that pretty. I imagine if she didn't have the movie thing she'd be just an average girl. Now Julia Roberts is the one I really don't get.
  9. Everyone knows the old saying about when it rains it pours. Well, it's been that way lately. Last week when to get the brakes on my 60k Explorer serviced and low and behold the front hub assembly decides to lock up. Mind you I had just replace the other one not 3 weeks before! So needless to say $200 turned into $600+. Sold my only carry gun to stay level. My third backup job has become my main job, making 1/3 of what we used to make and even then it wasn't enough. Well last night I discovered a new saying. When the hot water heater breaks it REALLY pours! The hot water heater (in the attic - never a good idea!) decide to pop. 3 am, 40 gallons of water, and a collapsed kitchen ceiling later and I got issues. All that to say it could've been worse. My 3 month old has been sleeping in the kitchen (portable crib) directly under the spot where all the water SHOULD have come through. Well, all that water decided to travel about 4 feet over from where the heater was leaking and then poured on the floor. Baby stayed bone dry. No sooner had we awaken and rolled her out of the kitchen the ceiling falls in! Now I know some don't believe in God and consider everything coincidence, but I don't. It makes no sense for the water to flow uphill away from the main leak (where baby was sleeping) and for the ceiling to hold up just long enough for me to wake up and move her before it all fell in. Turns out insurance is going to cover it all and we will even be able to catch up some other expenses and save a little in the meantime. Miracles happen. Shouldn't be able to make it on our income but we are. Yes we have had to do our part, but I am so glad God is watching over. He has always provided. Maybe not what I wanted, but always what we needed. I know a lot of guys here are struggling like I am and I have to admit I was about done with things last night not knowing how we would make it. Just thought i share and hope it can encourage some. Lesson learned? Don't grumble about the today's manna. Matthew 6:25-34
  10. Good observation, however there is a major difference between the two. The former was between soveriegn citizensof the us and the AZ issue involes citizens not under or protected under the constituion. In the AZ case right is on the side of the state this time and most people know it.
  11. Ingeniously cool waste of time! Very interesting
  12. True, I was quick-reading that post and mixed it with another one that said otherwise. Very true.
  13. That why it would go very badly for the Fed. People would clearly see that the Fed is willing to muscle up and enforce their will on a state of the union but not on illegals from another country. Which is exactly what AZ should do. It would be the ultimate call out. If the feds tried to enforce it when they aren't enforcing other laws, they would loose on discrimination suits alone. Not to mention they could argue bias in not enforcing sanctuary cities while enforcing on AZ. The Feds could not win on any front, especially not the public opinion front. Let's see if they have the nerve.
  14. I've seen this now in a couple post. There is NO duty to retreat in TN.
  15. Not exactly. IIRC brandishing in TN means displaying it in a threatening manner. Strictly speaking pulling you shirt up to display it is brandishing (without an HCP). Problem is it is all interpretive and you never know how the cop or judge would view it. Keep your mouth shut and only show or pull you weapon if you are also going to pull the trigger.
  16. Guns and Ammo had a special Bullpup issues recently that had a lot of info on all the new Chinese assault rifles. This one is from last year. Updating The Type 95 | Tactical
  17. Back when cartoons had it all! It was amazing how complex and yet simple those cartoons where. They often dealt with heavy political/social issues, yet done so a child and parent could watch them together and enjoy equally. Not to mention it is how most people were exposed to classical music. Wish they made them like that again!

    Airwolf!

    Reminiscing in another thread got me thinking about shows I used to watch. Then Hulu decided to add all 4 seasons of Airwolf. I forgot how awesome that show was! The intro alone has to be one of the best of all time and the noise the helicopter made was just soooo cool. Just made the theme my ringtone. Season 1 still has to be the best with it's darkness and all. After that it started getting a little more A-Teamish (awesome show as well). Enjoy!
  19. KT is selling a free floating HG picatinny rail for $40 on their website. However, there are no pictures and I've never seen one. Kel-Tec - Store
  20. I too am really intrigued by the RFB, especially since getting rounds through my STG556. Now everything seems really long and front end heavy.
  21. Don't get that either unless it is simple name recognition or Dems are influencing the primaries.
