Growing up, I wasn't exactly the best behaved young lad.  I'm living proof that kids do stupid things.   During the summer, when people would drive with the window down, I would hide behind a mailbox at the end of our street ready to ambush people with a super-soaker as they hit the stop sign.  One person, got pissed off enough at me to put his car in park at the stop sign, and get out.  I ran and he give chase.  I cut through peoples backyards and up the small hill in the middle of our block to hide in the wood line, climbing fences as fast as only a preteen can to get away.  I was done with my super-soaker ambushes after that.       In what world would that be a proportionate response?  I can't think of a more useful event for anti-gun types to propagandize than what you lay out above.  We just got vehicle carry approved without a permit, let's not cock it up the first year in.   This would be the headline if that happened; Gun-Owner Shoots Kids In Response to a Prank   No good would come from it.

  It could have been real.  Most of my direct mailings from the 2nd Amendment Foundation come with some stupid "ballot" asking if I support their actions in court to protect 2nd Amendment freedoms.  I would have thought my lifetime membership would answer that, but I guess not.   Two bucks says you hadn't flustered her scripted lines, there would have been a hard ask to pitch in some money.

You should also need the trust certification documents that certify your trust IAW state law.  It looks like an extra notarized section separate from your actual trust.  Not sure if you included them when you said you submitted your trust.   I submitted on 10 July, and I'll post a rundown of how my process went as well as soon as I get the stamp.

  Two of these should do you then; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CP3SvMrL-r8CFSMV7AodbBUA6A&Item=N82E16820159020&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Desktop+Memory-_-N82E16820159020&ef_id=U@AAFgAAAdyh3RQl:20140804215014:s   Your upgrade cannot come fast enough.

  ECC/non-ECC isn't a big deal for home use.   Are you sure you don't have DDR2 chips in there now?  That's what the specs from HP are saying.   You should have two more slots for RAM to go in, I'd recommend buying and popping in two more of these if you do indeed have DDR2- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=Cj0KEQjw3vyeBRDt673h5ZTYrdQBEiQAzhkf8p-qZCY-YyhNrPFLz3AbLRVQad3kOK2JTw5jZWxBIrEaAtg58P8HAQ&Item=N82E16820134045&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Desktop+Memory-_-N82E16820134045&ef_id=U9-5@gAAAKCI7L0V:20140804212410:s   The system you have now actually limits what you can do to upgrade it.  You'll notice light years of difference when you make your upgrade.

  I'm with you, his death isn't reason for me to cheer.  I won't mourn his loss, but I won't celebrate it.  That's bad taste at the least to me.     No new laws will come from his passing. His death as a rallying cry for new legislation will be nominal at best.  Democrats are already in an uphill battle to keep the Senate.  If they take up an assault weapons ban or any other gun control measure now, every Democrat in a contested race would have to line up against it, or it would almost guarantee a Republican Senate.   At best, the usual entrenched anti-gun folks would put up legislation in the Senate.  It may or may not get a committee vote, and Harry Reid probably won't let it come to the floor before the lame duck session.  Even at that stage, it has a 90% chance of dying, but if it somehow passes the Senate, the House won't touch it before the legislative session is up and it would need to be reintroduced in 2015.  Where it would still be a non-starter in the House.

  You forwarded (or in this case posted) it with no commentary, as a stand alone work, so that can make people assume you agree with it.  Silence equals consent.    If you didn't agree with all of his points, you could have pointed out disagreements and counterpoints before or after it without any edits.    This is the danger with chain emails and the like. The echo chamber effect and the ease of using the forward, like or share button have stopped people from looking at the whole body of work and asking themselves, "do I agree with the sentiment and tone of all this?"    Conservatives have plenty of actual issues to disagree on the President with.  I'll respect those disagreements even as I argue against some of them.  But when anybody tries to disguise in racist jabs that are little better than dog whistles, I'm going to call BS every time.     No kidding.  My cousin and I were texting about those adult responsibilities and problems we have now and I fondly reminisced, "Remember when all we needed to pay for ourselves, were the beer and liquor we weren't supposed to be drinking?"

  1)  Comparison shopping won't be hard.  I upgraded from 4GB to 16 GB and used amazon.com out of convenience.  The prices differences aren't as big as you might think if you stick to computer equipment vendors- newegg, tigerdirect, ect...  Don't even think about buying off the rack at Best Buy or any other big stores that love it when people don't know what they are looking at.  If you need help deciding if somewhere is a fair price, PM me and I'll tell you if I'd buy it.   It also depends on if your current 2GB is 2x 1GB sticks, or one stick with one slot open and you only need another stick, or you have one slot only and need a 4GB stick.     2)  tnguy is right.  The OS makes more of a difference than anything.  So, give us the specs and we can help more.  On that note...   I've been done with 32-bit systems for a while now.  They are too limiting for me since anything over 4GB of RAM isn't usable.  Going forward, I'd advise anybody to spend the extra bit for a 64-bit OS.  You'll be able to get a longer life out of your system from it.

Much better now. Still have to trim a bit more and get the mower down in the ditch, but I'm happy with the weekends work. :D Pardon my ad hoc panoramic cropping skills. Batman, sorry for making your thread about my backyard.

  Using not so subtle racist language like that is about the fastest way to get ignored and ridiculed in my book.  It tends to show the authors true colors.   The poor white Christian males will be just fine. White trash can put a pit bull in the backyard just as easily as any other race can.  But hey, why not assoicate it with the political assention of minorities to keep people outraged. :rolleyes:  

  An Aimpoint PRO at 20% off can be a great deal.  Those are solid optics.   The rest of the tax free weekend I blew off.  Even a 9.75% discount isn't worth being out in public when shoppers descend en-masse like they do on these weekends.

No change for me, but I'm getting the 25 Mbps I'm paying for.  I don't use Comcast equipment, but my own stuff is rated up to 175 Mbps, so if they widened the bandwidth for everybody, I should have seen it.       http://www.speedtest.net if you want to use one not embedded into a Comcast website...outside source and all.

  I thought the system was down from on or about April 4th and didn't come back up until 24 June.  How were you able to e-file a Form 1 during that time?

  According to this trend graph, yeah, e-file is much quicker.  It might not be purely scientific, but I think the sample side and randomness of it is good enough.  I tend to ignore the lightning fast e-file approvals, those are probably user input errors.   http://www.nfatracker.com/TrendGraph.aspx

  Form 1 has been back up on e-file for a little over a month now.  Aside from being offline on Wednesdays from 6am-6pm EST for maintenance, it seems to be working within acceptable parameters.   I used it three weeks ago to submit an SBR application.  All I had to do besides fill out the form online was upload my trust documents.  A simple .pdf at 3MB uploaded with no issues.  My payment was processed the next day and I had a control number on my application the day after that.  Now I'm just waiting for approval or corrections.

  Option 4, let a lawyer keep a higher than normal percentage of any settlement costs as payment.  That might make a few want to take the case.

  From that AG opinion... The person approached, however, need not answer any question put to him; indeed, he may decline to listen to the questions at all and may go on his way. He may not be detained even momentarily without reasonable, objective grounds for doing so; and his refusal to listen or answer does not, without more, furnish those grounds.     It takes enough citizens standing up for their rights to keep them.  If the police are giving rides and booking people for refusing to show ID, that needs to be challenged.  My 4th Amendment rights matter to me just as much as my 2nd Amendment rights or any other rights do.  I just wish more people would fell the same.

I've rented vehicles for work when the company pays and for pleasure on my own dime.  Here are my quick thoughts... I'd imagine a van would be cheaper to rent than an SUV if you aren't out for style points Be ready for sticker shock regardless, holidays are peak times for rentals with all the travel Check now if your personal vehicle insurance covers rentals; insurance can be a rip off from a rental company Note any scratch, dent, chip or imperfection you find on the checkout inspection- that goes double for the interior- as a safety precaution Do the math if they offer a pre-pay for fuel option; it seems convenient, but it's not always a great deal Don't bother paying for a GPS in the rental if your smartphone has a good map & directions app

I hope taking money from a widow makes him feel like a man.  His 15 minutes can't be up fast enough.

  I'd toss this in their lap if I could, but lawn care and landscaping are tenant responsibilities per the lease.  I'm fine with that since my rent is more than a fair price.  I've seen other townhouses on my street with similar square footage for go for about $100-200 a month more in rental listings.

  Since 97% of it is overhang, the roots on the other side of the fence.  I wish I could just have this pain in the ass uprooted.  The best I can do is spray it until it's dead and hack away.   Once I have it cleared, I can just do maintenance sweeps when I mow the lawn and that should do well enough.  I'm in a rental while I go to MTSU, so this isn't a permanent problem to me, I just want to get it past hideous looking and not be a pain in the ass to mow around.   Looks like I'll be gracing Lowe's with my credit card tomorrow!  Thanks for the suggestions all.

  Most of it is overhang from what's behind the fence, there are only a few things where the root is on my side.  And honestly, I can handle that when I get enough room to roll my mower down in there.  Raking and bagging it would be a pain, but that's life.

This is what I'm up against and am considering getting something to deal with. I want the tree tamed, and anything coming over or under that wood fence gone. Would I need a poles saw, hedge trimmers, or both? Of course, if anybody knows a landscaper who can come get rid of this flustercluck and haul off the debris at a reasonable rate, I'd take that too...the local companies either don't return my calls or tell me it's not big enough of a job for them.

I've seen some of Instructor Zero's video's before, though not this one.  He can shoot, I'll give him that. Though, to me at least, his video's give a "wow that's cool" vibe and not a "that's practical for my situation and needs."   Not saying that looking at cool shooting videos isn't fun- it is.  But I'd hate for new or developing shooters (and I fully include myself in the term developing shooters) to watch that video and think focusing their efforts on towards that result are what they need to do.

  It's funny, because it's true.
