Yeah, but I'd assume any law office would have MS Outlook on their systems even if they use web access for email. It comes with most Office packs. If not, they're a pretty low rent firm.

If you have MS Outlook, you can move them all to a .pst file, and send the lawyer a copy.

Felt the same way when I saw the piece of the WTC that's at Bagram, Afghanistan. Seeing something from an event that changed so many parts of the world is a surreal experience.

This sumbeech runs on the same 87-octane you can get from any gas station.  For as little as $700, I'm pretty sure they are going to sell a few. http://xm42.com/ http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/xm42-handheld-flame-thrower-indiegogo/   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2iD9iNfh0U    

  I'm fine with mowing as long as it's somewhere around or below 75°.  With the summers here, I always end up mowing as close to darkness as I can.  Thankfully, my little patch of lawn here is small enough to permit that.  Though, I'd gladly pay some kid $10 to do it for me every week or so.

    Read Jones' bio, he was in the Marines as well.  As an Infantry officer no less. 

I've always had a special love of painting inside the home.  It was something my Grandfather taught me when I was a boy, and he would come visit during the summer.  The few chances I get to do it take me back to that time.    What I hate, are household cleaning chores.  Hopefully I'll have enough disposable income to outsource it one day.

  I think because ATF didn't have an appointed director for so long is why we have so much confusion.  Running any agency needs to be done with a purpose, and knowing that every director was only "acting" and really let all the separate divisions of ATF spin into their own worlds too much.   Jones was the District Attorney for the US court in Minnesota before he was tapped to lead ATF.  That's a big step up in responsibility, not to mention management and focus areas that he may not have been ready for.  It was probably a combination of not being able to reasonably control such a bureaucratic monster and lack of results in initiatives from the Attorney General and/or the President that brought this on.

  Correct.   If people really want to get secure, they should go into the advanced settings on their wireless modem and set the MAC address filter to permit only the MAC address' you provide it.  But that would mean you need to get the MAC from every device in your house, and from your friends if you want them to be able to connect to your wi-fi when they visit.  Since every MAC is unique, it really locks down your network.

I came to TN from Mass myself.  You might find the food options a bit limited, and the summers too hot, but everything else will be a big improvement.  As far as shooting and off-roading, the only limitations you will probably run into will involve finding time in your schedule.   Try to contain your surprise when dealing with the realtors...you won't want to tip them off that even their initial offers blow real estate prices in Mass out of the water.

I always put generic names on anything that is shown in a connection, usually the manufacturer or model if the generic setup isn't obscure enough.  My phone shows up as android-(lots of letters and numbers), the SSID of the access point for my wireless modem is WAPR300N.  Nothing special given away for anybody to see at a casual glance.

Looks like the push for a baby step trial run on commercial drone use has already started.  http://m.bbc.com/news/business-31975464

  It's 2015.  I find it inexcusable that a simple renewal process such as a HCP renewal isn't available online. 

  Don't see anything about online renewal in the instructions, or in the links on the side.  The only website on my permit is tn.gov.  Unless they set up online renewals with this change to a 5-year length of permit, you should still have to go to the drivers center to renew. http://www.tn.gov/safety/handgun/renewals.shtml

If it was about convenience, they would simply allow HCP renewals to be conducted online like they do with drivers licenses.  This is all so they can say Tennessee has a "lifetime permit system in place."  It's a rip off from a money standpoint, and it's an insult from a handgun owners standpoint. 

"I am shocked- shocked- to find that gambling is going on in here!"   Anybody who thinks decisions are made in committees or open meetings doesn't understand politics.

As Homer Simpson taught us, who needs a bottle opener when you have a gun?

If you guys have any links to the Texas case, I'd like to see them.  Having some trouble with my own Google-fu.    I'm pretty sure no state court can invalidate a federal law, just refuse to enforce it with state resources.  So, unless the machine gun cases are being filed and won in the federal district and circuit courts in D.C., it isn't going to do anything but give a moral victory.

  She's open to the idea of carrying, and wants to get an HCP to have one, but this is primary home/vehicle defense.  She told me she doesn't want a compact, or something too big.  So, I'm looking into things that are around the size of a Glock 19, Walther P99, or an M&P9.  She put her budget at $500-$600, so she can afford one of the higher quality pistols.  I think she can narrow it down to a few models she likes the look and feel of, then we can go into the shooting phase.  I'm not interested in breaking the bank on rentals since I know some places charge a bit and make you use their store bought ammo to do so.    If she get's into guns, and wants to keep changing models, fine.  But for right now, I just want her to make a good purchase and be squared away on when/how to use it if it ever comes to that.

...and he has the nerve to make the buyer pay for shipping. 

  I use USAA for checking, savings, credit card, auto, renters & personal property insurance.  Never had any complaints.  Easy to use website, easier to get an actual person on the phone than any other bank I've ever seen.  Some people are turned off by the lack of a physical bank to go into, but I haven't needed it.   They also refund fees you get for using other banks ATM's up to $15 per month, which is great.  Anybody who is eligible to bank with them should give it a try.  They allow anybody who served in the armed forces, plus family members of those who served.

I think I'll pass on giving my email to Newsmax.  They know which way their readers will vote in a poll, and are only fishing for email addresses so they can turn around and re-sell them to third parties.    Don't believe me, just read their privacy policy.

Your profile says you were in the military, so I'd  ask you to strongly consider USAA.  They are hands down, the best bank I've ever dealt with.  The only complaint I've ever heard about them is they aren't the greatest at mortgage loans, but I can speak from experience that everything I've done with them is top notch.

  Sequential jobs alone aren't steps for higher office.  National candidates need a national profile and Haslam isn't even a blip on anybody's radar outside of Tennessee.  If he was thinking White House, he would be parlaying the success of Tennessee to his benefit, using his spot as Chairman of the Republican Governors Association to get himself on the usual TV shows, giving speeches at think tanks, writing a book, ect....   Is it possible he runs for President in 2020 or after that...sure.  But nothing I see from him on the national level speaks to that.  Short of being put onto the Republican ticket as VP candidate, I don't see him in a national election.

Getting her to try them out at a range is on the "to-do" list, but we're at the very basic stages here.  Her total experience with guns has been to hold mine, thus, the slow approach to get her into shooting, and more importantly, trained right.  It also isn't a right now thing as we both have school and work to schedule around.   My goal is to get her to feel comfortable with the feel and mechanics of about 2-3 models, then go into the test fire mode with the ones she chooses.  She has said she doesn't want a compact, so the Ruger and Shield would be out.  An SR9 is an option, and I already had the M&P9 on the list.    We'll either do all this around Murfreesboro, or possibly Knoxville (where she lives), which is why I was asking for more of a general consensus of handling shelf guns with snap caps would be acceptable.
