I was going to post the same thing. I enjoyed a nice lunch there this weekend with my pistol safely secured to my side. I looked before entering, even though I've been there a hundred times, and there is no sign. I think that Ruby's actually took the stance of saying "we will NOT post" back when the laws were changing regarding carry in a place that serves alcohol.

I have a PS3, but I only have Black Ops at the moment. I plan on picking up MW3 very soon, though. I'm probably one of the worst players you'll ever see. I like to play, but have just gotten used to the fact that I have a 10/1 Death/kill ratio. I keep thinking I'll get better, but it never happens. I have a hard time getting an accurate aim. I'll come back and add you once I get it. You can increase your rank at my expense. Might as well be a TGO brother getting the credit.

Great. We had a neighborhood tire slasher here a year or so ago where a dozen or so cars got hit. We escaped untouched, but a friend did not. It was in the Kentucky Ave. area. Which part of Oak Ridge did it happen for you?

I'm glad he didn't get in trouble, and I would hope that would be the case with any of us too. The real test will be when another stand up, never had a run in with the law, regular guy who forgot he had a gun on does the same thing. They should get the same dose of discretion.

If this had been two groups of "citizens", in other words no officers, the paper would be reporting everyone's names. Now, I believe that off duty officers should have some expectation of privacy. However, once they identified themselves as officers, that to be says they were using their positions for intimidation, and now they are acting in the capacity of a public servant. And I believe that all public servant activities should be out in the open for all to see. I'm pretty annoyed that the paper brought up all the old stuff from Estep's past and gave the cops a free pass. As far as we know, since the cops aren't commenting, the only account we have to go on is Estep's. If his account is 100% true (IF), then this old info should not matter one little bit. Lastly, and this is pure conjecture on my part, put this whole incident just sounds like there is alcohol involved. I can't see how good cops would let this kind of thing happen, and escalate the way it did without a night of drinking being involved. I seriously doubt that the KPD did alcohol checks on the two ORPD officers, but that would have been good info. And, it would have seriously changed the path of this case.

If you think it's surprising she has her own computer, you should see her iPhone and Credit Cards When we had kids at home we started off by putting the computer right out in the open in the family room, where there was no privacy. That alone kept them from going places they shouldn't. Plus I had a password on the PC, so my wife or I always had to unlock the computer for them. If we were away, the kids could not unlock the computer by themselves. I don't think the OP will need to worry about where his daughter will go on the Net at her age, but it's still a good idea.

This is one of those exceptions that should be considered in the law. But, I would think that the nursing home could verify to the election folks that the residents are who they say they are. The real goal with the ID is to verify that those voting are who they say they are, and that they don't vote twice. I don't think anyone would scoff at the nursing home head certifying their identity.

The first thing you want to do is create her own logon account in Windows. It should be created as a Standard user, not a Power User and definitely not an Administrator. In windows 7 and XP, only an administrator can install programs, and a virus is just another program. In Windows 7, if you do try to install a program, it will ask for the Administrator password. You can enter it if it is a legit program that YOU are installing. For XP, you'll probably have to log in with the Admin account and install any legit program. If you use Internet Explorer, logon to the PC with the Administrator account and open IE. Look for the Settings option, and go to the "Content" tab. There is lots of stuff built right in to IE that you can use to protect her and the PC. I would lock it down as tight as you could. You can always relax it later if things don't work. Your ISP may offer some kind of protection program for free. Many times it is going to be Norton or McAfee. As others have mentioned, these things are bloatware and will slow down your PC more than you may like, but if the ISP offers it, it will be free for you, and will probably do what you want it to do. You'll have to decide if you want it or not. IF it is a spare PC that only she is using, I'd probably think about it. Make sure to remove any Antivirus programs you may currently have on your PC. You don't want multiple Antivirus programs working against each other.

Before I had a bench dedicated to reloading, I had my press mounted on a 2x6. Then I just used two C-Clamps to mount it to my workshop bench. You could clamp it to whatever you may have that would work for you. When done, you could unclamp and put everything in one of those plastic storage bins and put it away somewhere.

I have a KelTek P3-AT. I love to carry it, but hate to shoot it. It bites my hand every time I fire it. When I go to the range, I take it and shoot it only once or twice just to make sure it is still in good working order. Now, that said, I really like to carry it. I have a pocket holster for it and carry in my back pocket. It is ultra concealable. I did pick up a Ruger LC9 this summer. I much prefer shooting that one. It's just a little bigger than the P3AT, but is a dream to shoot.

I like the proceedure they have in the MIddle East, where you dip a finger in ink after voting. If you have ink on your finger, you don't get to vote again.

I ordered something from EBay that was shipped Priority Mail. I think it was supposed to arrive in maybe three days. Well, after a week goes by and no package, I go to the Post Office. I give them the tracking number, but that is worthless, they can only see that the delivery was started, but they have no idea where it is along the way. UPS or Fedex can tell me exactly where it is at any moment. Anyway, I wait another week and still no package, so I go back to the Post Office. The package had insurance on it, and I figure I'd claim it since I'm now almost two weeks past promised delivery date. I find out that "Priority" mail is a goal, not a promise. They will try to get it there in three days, but that is no guarantee. They say I can't file the insurance claim until it is one full month late, and then they will take another month to investigate. The shipper (and ultimitely me) paid extra money to have it shipped "Priority" so I ask if the shipping cost could be refunded. The guy just shrugs his shoulders and says they have no way of doing that.

Please consider having another one in the future. I would have enjoyed the learning experience. Unfortunately, this time of year is hectic with family commitments, shopping, honey-do's, etc.

I have one that came from Gander Mountain, that looks very similar to the Midway bag. I think it was like $25 and came with a pistol case too. It has held up very well and holds all my stuff. Lots of pockets inside and out. However, I can't seem to find it on their website right now. I think it is their own brand.

Ah, I didn't think about folks using plastic more. We drank the Dave Ramsey kool-aide several years ago and cut up all of our credit cards, so we are pretty much all cash, all the time, except for the occasional debit card purchase online.

It's surprizing to me, but a lot of the ones I found have ended with me. I think I started finding and logging them about 4 years ago, and most just seem to end with me. I'm the last entry they ever get logged with. I'm always eager to see where they go, so I make sure to put them back into circulation right away. This tells me that the bills don't get logged in by other people because either: 1. People just aren't observant and don't see the stamps on the bill. 2. People are skeptical and don't log them in. 3. Banks get them, see that they are defaced and send them back to the Reserve to be destroyed. 4. People just horde them and don't circulate them. Doubtful with Ones, though. Anyway, I'm really surprized it hasn't caught on more.

Anybody ever find Dollar bills with the Where's George stamps on them? There is a web site, www.wheresgeorge.com , where you can register the unique serial number on a dollar bill, then when other people find it, they can visit the same site and log in where they found it. It's kind of a neat thing to do. You can track all the places the bill has traveled. I've never registered one myself, but I have found several and logged them in to the web site.

Funny, but the older I get, it seems the slower I drive. I don't intentionally slow down, and I used to drive really fast when I was younger. But, now I catch myself not even driving the speed limit. Can't tell you how many times I've spotted a cop at the last minute, and hit the brakes then look down at the speedometer only to see I was already doing 5 under. My wife calls me Mr. Magoo. She on the other hand, I kiddingly call her Mario, which is a combination of Mario Andretti and Mario Kart. Guess I'm just not that in a hurry to get anywhere these days.

Pretty good episode. I thought it was a little anti-climatic, but it's going to set up some great tension for next season. I had my suspicions about Romeo since the beginning. Something about his partner just didn't seem all cartel-ish. I think it may nave been that episode where he rode in with all his gang and saved the day for Jax. He said he knew "everything". Seemed a little fishy to me. I thought it was cool at the ending how the scene morphed into the old picture we've been seeing of Gemma and John.

I found an Email Newsroom link at the bottom of their homepage. Just sent a synopsis and link to Knox News. We'll see what happens.

If you shoot it with the BB gun, it may kill it, but it will jump and squirm for several minutes, and probably end up in an area of your attic that you won't be able to get to, then you'll have another problem. Same goes for poison. It will find a quiet place die. The trap is the best bet. You can get them inexpensively, or look for online instructions for building your own. If you're bound and determined to put it out of your misery, do it after you trap it. BTW, I once built a rat trap using a 5 gallon bucket with enough water to drown it, but not enough for it to swim out, then put a towel over the top with pnut butter on it. It'll climb onto the towel, fall in and drown. Of course in your attic it could knock over and make another mess.

Welcome back! Are you here to stay now?

While we're at it let's not wear a NASCAR hat, cause I'm pretty sure the fuel in the race car is explosive, and that Budweiser shirt is a no-go because no carry-on liquids are allowed. That Nike Swoosh on your shoes looks a little sharp, and I think that the SwissGear logo on your laptop pack .looks like one of those ninja stars.
