Over the last few years I have seen people, yet still very marketable, land great jobs through the staffing agencies. I wouldn't have believed it but I have seen it more than once.

It may be that I am just not knowledgeable but I would stay east of Nashville. I just don't see a lot of jobs to the west. Nashville, Chattanooga and Knoxville are all pretty hoping with jobs.

Topix, boarding up the windows and cutting the lights out at midnight, I was agreeing to it all.

Without seeing your name and location I knew this had to be Dayton.

The grand jury testimony will occur at their next session, whenever that is. Small counties do them quarterly but Davidson County probably does it once a month or more. They could skip a session if they so choose. Oh and you can bet it gets true billed.

It's not too bad using one if the grass isn't too high. If its a warm season turf grass it actually looks better. Once the blades get dull it's tough and they are tough to sharpen.

Voles don't eat grubs. They eat plant roots.

I don't like using LiDAR(laser) unless I have to with heavy traffic or some other circumstance. I have been so focused on targeting vehicles I had someone walk right up on me and I didn't know it. Like wise, I don't like for motorist to actually know I am running speed enforcement. I sit in the open with the radar antenna or gun hidden acting like I am just watching vehicles. I rarely sit anyway and LiDAR can't be used moving so I ride around wit my moving radar on standby with my thumb on the instant on. True if your detector goes off with Laser they already know your speed.

Have you tried Sweeneys Poison Peanuts? It is not labeled for voles but I have been told it works. So all you have is grass? Normally they eat roots of perennials and shrubs.

There are no lines on the road, they set up cones during the installation or setup then remove them. The cameras are on telephone poles, mounted on trailers, or mounted in vehicles on the side of the road. In TN if it is not a permanently mounted device an officer has to be within sight of the device. If it is permanent the officer only needs to check the device before and after retrieving data. This type of system isn't too common in TN, they are there though. I worked at a department with one.

I am not referring to Barney Fife and his stopwatch, i understand that is the roots of VASCAR. Today's technology an officer sets up the complete system measuring the speed of the vehicle within the field of view using a sensor-based camera-vision system that calculates speed based on distance over time inputs. Boxes are set up on the computer screen with measurements and calculations of the vehicles lines and profile are taken, one every 1/10th of a second. The FPS is calculated into mph and the violators are mailed a ticket with two photographs of the violation. If they choose to come to court all ten photographs are shown as well as the video of the violation, all will have the speed displayed as well as the speed of the other vehicles on the road. People get all white in the face when this is shown.

Oh man voles are difficult, I don't know that a roller will do anything except make the tunnels disappear. Is getting a cat out of the question? As far as a roller you want one with the heaviest footprint.
-
The officer with a stopwatch now watches the videos and pictures. The speed is calculated to a tenth of a mph. Reflex is the biggest marketer of this technology. My old Chief got one, contested and lost.

The guys I have heard of in court have not had an issue, they have sent them to school to get certified. It isn't true VASCAR, informally called point-to-point. It actually becomes their primary job. I do my RaDAR properly, the way I instruct my students to use RaDAR, I only use it to verify speed. It's a rare occurrence I use my instant on more than once an hour.

False sense of security encouraging you to drive faster than you initially would have. Not to mention my favorite line, "I was going to give you a warning but I see your radar detector has already done that.". I tend to ride around using instant on so you want get a warning until you have already been targeted. With newer vascar photo technology you are also unprotected.

I was 11yo in the fall of 1991. This was my second year hunting, had my own Marlin 30-30 and I knew how to shoot. I had been hunting about 6 times prior but no deer had been harvested. On my first deer hunt I had a 6-8 pointer come running full speed through the woods because the kid down the hill shot at it 3 times and missed. So anyway, juvenile weekend I am sitting on this little wooded hill in Tiftonia right beside I-24, you could actually hear the vehicles on the interstate. Through some clearings you could see Moccasin Bin across the river. This was my first time to hunt here, it was supposed to be the hottest spot for deer but no one knew about it. So that morning after about sitting there for 30 minutes I feel sick at my stomach. My dad and I hike back to the truck and drive 5 minutes to my grandparents house for meds. I tell him I feel like going back. We load back up and go back. After about 30 minutes I throw up, it's 10:30 at this point. We stand up to leave and damn if there weren't 3 does watching us. I raise the Marlin and squeeze the trigger, she goes down with a headshot. She was kicking and flopping. She went motionless after about 3 minutes. We haul the big girl out of there. Supposedly the area has been about hunted out, I don't know who owns it anymore, and there is a huge house close by now. I didn't go hunting for about 4years after that, I got into bow hunting so I didn't have to sit in the cold.

I can vouch for .270's heavy recoil. A .308 may recoil as much, I don't know. I went from a 30-06 Rem 742 to a Rem 700 in .270, and the .270 kicked more. Really though, it shouldn't matter. Why not another .243?

Other than the fine and possibly an insurance premium increase I don't see how it would hinder your life in any other way. Even when applying for prestidges jobs and government jobs they ask for incidents "other than" traffic citations.

It really depends on the department, because of the extreme cost involved some departments have moved away from the computers, even though grants cover most of the cost. They are also a huge distraction to driving. I would venture to say there are less departments using in the car computers than there was 5 years ago.

Your right, I sold my leather owb, Don Hume, shoulder rig, picket holsters, kydex Desantis, Kholster and my Crossbread after discovering the $12 Sport Combat holster. The Sport Combat holster is about as it gets at any price.

Yes, the G23 can do something a G19 can never do which is shoot two other calibers with only a barrel change. I do love a G26 though, I feel the recoil and follow up shots are even better with the 26 over the 19. This because of the dual recoil spring and since the G19 has the beveled hood on the barrels chamber.
-
I would probably just assume to have a G26 or 27 over all of them. For most people they shoot every bit as great as the full size models. I have been carrying a G26 Gen 4 over the last 5 months and have barely touched anything else. I actually prefer a G23 over a 19 for a couple of reasons.

Something else, when a plate is called in at some places they only record it and not actually check it. If the officer request it they will give the status on the return. The reason I was told is it was costing too much for all the stops to get ran. I am serious, I worked at one of these places.

No! I have to specifically ask for a cross reference to the RO of he vehicle or I copy and past your info from one page to another.
