Also, everyone on the range must have a permit. You can get daily or yearly permits at the Norris police station. It's really pretty nice.

I second the Dave Ramsey ELP (Endorsed Local Providers) list. We started the Dave Ramsey plan several years ago. If you can find one of his Financial Peace University classes near you, you will be empowered to become your own financial planner. He explains many aspects of financial planning so that everyone can understand it. Then all you have to do is actually follow through and stay on plan. Get smart, then if you do get a financial planner you know what they are talking about and you can steer your own ship. You'll also have a better chance of realizing when they just want to help you get rid of some more of your money. It changed my life, and I've been able to help lots of others change theirs by passing on the knowledge.

Been a mixed bag for me. Some times I go in there and they are very helpful, other times not so much. I really think it's the person that helps you. The last time I was there I had some guy help me who thought he was a real comedian, I found him to be quite annoying and walked away. Their gunsmith was extremely helpful to me once and I would use him again. I have had some difficulty getting certain guns from them. Seems like they are frequently out of stock on the one I want, "but we can take your money now and order you one". I took that offer once. I've also bought a gun or two from their inventory. Personally, they often dissappoint me, but not enough to keep me from visiting.

My son used to go there a few years ago and did not have to have any kind of pass. It was just open to the public. I called them a time or two to get info or directions, and they never mentioned anything about needing a pass.

I went, but was very disappointed. For me it was mostly Knoxville saying "Look at us, see how prepared we are"? They had a Sherrif copter there, some ambulances, firefighters, etc. Not that that is bad, I was very impressed with all the cool stuff Knoxville has, but I was looking for more personal survival stuff. They had an inside area set up with maybe 15 tables for vendors. I saw the Blood bank, some investing company, a whole table advertising Glenn Beck's next speaking tour, and a few people selling food products. Of all the tables, I saw about three with things that I was expecting to see. One had a family water filtration device, one had a table full of bug out bag or emergency box type items, one had emergency food products. At least I got some nifty firefighter hats for the grandkids ;-)

I like the show. I saw it last year, when it looked like it was going to be a series but then only aired one episode. I was surprised to see it come back this year.

A freiend of mine got a virus I had to clean up, where the malware was actually a program that ran on top of the desktop. It has a fake start button, background and icons. Every time you tried to run something a pop-up came up and said something about the system needing reapir. It was pretty clever and had me stumped for a few minutes before I figured out what it was doing. If it had been by own PC, I would have noticed the overlay did not look like my own desktop. I cleaned it up with Malware Bytes. Had to download Malware Bytes from a different PC, put it on a thumbdrive, reboot the PC into safemode, install Malware Bytes and run the scan in safemode. It took a while to run the scan, but it fixed it right up.

OOH, OOH, Mr. Kotter

Reminder that this show is this weekend.

I liked it better when it was more of an X-Files type show, with something weird and unexplainable happening each week. Lately they've been doing this war with an alternate universe thing that's getting a little tiresome. I can't stop watching it though.

Most Malware can be avoided by doing a couple of simple things on your PC: 1. Don't run as Administrator. Make sure that the account you normally use to log into Windows is not in the Administrators group. Create a new account and use this one for daily use. Log in as Administrator when you are installing a new program or making system changes. An account with just "User" rights cannot install anything. Malware runs with whatever rights you are logged in as, so if you are an administrator, the malware has unlimited access, if you are logged in as a user the malware has very little ability to install itself. This is especially true if you are running an O/S prior to Windows 7. Win7 is architected a little different and will pop up a message asking for permission to install. Unfortunately, most people just click OK to the permission and give the malware access. 2. Get a good antivirus. If you are running Windows but are limited on funds there are plenty of free ones. Microsoft's Security Essentials is free, and I think works great. It is very bare-bones and does not have all the extra crap to bog down your system that goes along with some of the bigger brand names. Also, keep the Antivirus up to date. Set it to automatically update at least daily. 3. Use a firewall. Windows XP and above all come with one built in. Turn it on and use it. 4. Stay away from questionable web sites. Be skeptical of everything that pops up. For me, if a web site asks my permission for something, I cancel and move away. Just play it safe and stay on TGO. Do you really need to go anywhere else?

I've got another position to fill, so I thought I post here again. Same requirements as in my original post. Send me a PM if interested.

I found a ton of his songs on Grooveshark. I listened to Cash all day long at work yesterday. Didn't realize how much I like him. I particularly like the songs that tell a story.

In the 800cc or less size bike, you should be able to find something used in a decent price range. My first bike was a 500cc, and it was OK when I lived in Florida where it was flat, but once I moved to East TN, it couldn't cut it on the hills, especially with a passenger. The bike was also a bit too small with an adult passenger. If you are going to regularly have a passenger, make sure you both fit. I suspect that you may move up to a larger bike pretty quickly once you get the hang of it. For me, an 1100cc Cruiser is just right.

No, but I got four gallons of wine fermenting in my basement. My son has some friends that do beer regularly, and have helped him with a batch or two. He says it's a lot of work. The wine was pretty easy, but I'm betting it's going to taste like puddle water drained through an old boot. If it turns out even a little better than I expect, I may upgrade to some better equipment and start trying better recipes. I don't know if you use the little bubblers plugged into the top of your brewing containers. I find them to be very entertaining.

Man, I have done nearly everything in that video. The only thing I would have done differently, is leave the working vehicle in the garage, where I couldn't back it out. Seriously, this is why I don't work on cars anymore.

Anybody know of an online site to watch this? I missed the first episode. I checked casttv.com, which had them there last year, but only the pay-for amazon link is there.

My dad tells the story of when he worked at a grocery store once, and there was this older lady that everyone recognized by her large flambouyant hat. One day my dad noticed she was bleeding from her forehead. When he offered her help she got all flustered and started to run off. About that time her hat slipped and out fell a big old juicy steak from on top of her head. Turns out she was stealing them every time she came in.

I for one appreciate when someone flashes me. I try to stay at the speed limit, but there are times that I drift off the mark, especially if the road seems like the limit should be higher. I'm sure I've avoided a ticket or two thanks to another driver. As far as the gangs and headlights thing, insn't that just an Urban Legend? Has anyone ever had tht happen to them or someone they personally know?

A quick search on Google indicates that StrickJ was correct. Find the plug under the seat, disconnect it and short it out by placing a short piece of wire into both sides of the connector. Should fool the circuit into thinking the buckle is snapped in. You could probably just cut the wires, strip them and twist them together too, but that would be more permanent.

I picked up a Lee 4 Hole Turret Press with Auto Index Deluxe Kit from MidwayUsa.com, that and a set of dies is all the hardware you need to get your feet wet. You'll want to pick up some other things along the way, like a new scale, extra turrets, etc., but the kit and dies will get you started for less than $150.

Cool. Just put it on my calendar.

Wait a minute! So, you're saying the sun makes it hot?

My dad used to say he was "checking his eylids for leaks"

A lot of people don't know that you can make free outbound calls from your PC with a GMail account. Can't recieve, though. I could probably live without the cell. They are forbidden at my work, so most of my day I can't even use it. I do like having it for the emergency aspect, especially for my wife. I don't care if anyone else can't get in touch with me, but I do like the fact that she and I can reach each other no matter where we are. My dad uses one of those prepaid phones and loves it. He never gives out the number, except for family, so he never runs out of minutes. I think he leaves it in the truck.
