  1. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme   What gjohnsoniv posted are memes. What you posted are not memes because you're not mimicking a widely shared image/action/video.   Since you asked for feedback, here's mine:   I think many of your color pallet and font choices suck. They look like what many web pages looked like in the early days of the web when we used lots of colors and cutesy fonts with every effect known to man just because we could. Using your first set for an example, why are all the "T" s lower case but all other letters are upper case? Sure it's "different" but it's abnormal to read. Your 5th one down quoting Tench Coxe looks like an old Windows 3.1 word processor threw up all over my monitor. Why are there 8 different font colors (see your 2nd slide for the same color count explosion), nearly all of which are hard to read against that background? The only thing missing is flashing text and a bad MIDI soundtrack and I'd have thought I was back in 1997. Take a look at http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/ . They do a good job of showing what not to do with everything from navigation, to colors and fonts that make reading difficult. It's actually a serious site dedicated to helping people understand what they're doing wrong on web pages which makes their message get lost due to bad design choices.   I'm not knocking your content or creativity, but your delivery leaves a lot to be desired. Good design requires both catching someone's attention and holding someone's attention. If your stuff takes effort just to read it, much less comprehend it, people will skip it. In this case, less is more.   Something like Photoshop can make doing design work easier, but it's not a requirement. I've seen some amazing photo and graphics work done in something as simple as MS Paint, but it takes a lot more skill than using easier tools like Photoshop.
  2. How did you rail mount the lab?
  3. A couple of people I knew who were "in the business" called it Sh!tty Auto Glass, but that was several years ago. They swore by PPG. That said, I'd venture a guess that for 99/100, SAG is just fine.   Jack Morris does PPG glass in Nashville. That's who I used for one replacement and was happy. I'd use them again, but I'm very particular about my cars.
  4. The problem is that he couldn't find a teleprompter. Barry has them all.
  5. Sometimes you can tell the caliber of a man by his clothes. This is one of those times.
  6. The only thing wrong with that video is that the perps walked away.
  7. The G19 fits your criteria.   The Boberg XR9-L also fits, but it's in a whole different price point than the G19. It's an interesting bullpup pistol design, but too rich for my blood. Here's Hickok45 reviewing the XR9-S. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckyUmldwiDo
  8.   The tests weren't to see if a nuke could level a city. We figured that out from Trinity Site and proved it with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Additional tests were to test alternate bomb structures, sizes, yields, effectiveness of structures/ships/vehicles to withstand nuclear blasts at various distances, and to develop nuclear warfare tactics. Those are in addition to the experimental physics studies that were done at the same time or on other test blasts. I doubt we needed over 1,000 nuke tests to figure all of that out, but those were some of the reasons.
  9. Not just wins, but wins by more points than all other players combined!   Oh wait....I think this is more like golf where you want a low score to prevent 3-eyed babies.
  10. That's a good price on a very reliable and accurate gun.
  11. If by XDsc you mean XD sub-compact, then they currently run between 400 and 500 depending on condition and accessories. New with the XD gear package will put in in the 480-500 range. Used with no accesories will put it in the 400-430 range 'ish. That's based on personal experience and current prices on gunbroker. A "good" price is one on the bottom end or below those ranges.
  12. Devil's spawn baby is just another day at the office for that dude.
  13.   This. If you'll build your supplies as a variety over time instead of one bulk item at a time, you'll be better able to rotate your stock and you'll be better prepared if you need to use it before you're done totally stocking up. You could go buy 1,000 pounds of beans and nothing else. Or you could buy 100 lbs of rice, 50 lbs of beans, 5 cases of water, some spices, rope, bandages, 2 boxes of ammo, etc*. Do a variety purchase each month (or as money permits) until your stores are filled. The stuff you put in first can be cycled out, used, and replaced first. You don't want 1,000 lbs of beans going bad all at once. The exception is if you can get a fantastic bulk deal on an item with a long shelf life.   The manual I linked to earlier has some pages that talk about that and give some guidelines/checklists for building up with a variety.       *Just an example, not meant to be a buying guide.
  14. Not too bad at all. TSC's list price is about $40 for a 5 gal. can.
  15. I'll use them in my Glock so they can't be seen by airport scanners.
  16. I value a basic 91/30 between $90 and $130. Rarer years or manufacturers command a higher price, but that's for collector purposes, not for basic SHTF needs.   http://www.copesdistributing.com/russian-mosin-nagant-189130-round-receiver-rifle-with-440rd-ammo-p-7698.html This is a pretty good package deal. The spam cans of ammo now are running about $80-$90 + shipping, so that makes the rifle $110-$120 and only $10 to ship both items. Shipping on a single spam can is usually around $15-$30 from most places.
  17. Here's a good guide from some LDS members. It's not an "official" LDS publication. This is the updated 2012 edition that took it from around 200 pages to over 500 pages. It starts with some of the LDS religious texts and church history that helps frame their preparedness teachings, but the preparedness meat starts on page 23. It's free to redistribute, so no worries about pirating it. You can get a printed copy from Amazon if you want it.   http://www.armageddononline.org/PDF/Misc%20Books/ldsprep-v8.pdf   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008536NOQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B008536NOQ&linkCode=as2&tag=modesurvblog-20     For a budget center fire rifle, I second a Mosin Nagant 1891/30 with as many 440 round cans of 7.62x54R as you want to stock up on is about as cheap as it gets. They're built like Russian battle rifles...well...because they're Russian battle rifles. They're bolt action with minimal moving parts so not much risk of something going bad with them. They're cheap enough to buy more than one.
  18.   FYI - TWRA counts turkey as "big game" so you have to add that on to your basic hunting & fishing license to get those.
  19.   I thought you were going to suggest stocking up them. Heck, I can barely keep one maintained BEFORE the end of the world.
  20.   Yep. In most cases that's a good plan. However, if I were in W Virginia right now in the contaminated zone, I don't know how much I'd trust that I was able to get my supply valve shut off before that stuff made its way into my water heater.   Also don't forget about your toilet tanks. I don't know that I'd drink it straight up (rust and floating rubber bits from old bolts/seals, etc.), but it's clean'ish water that can be used for other things.
  21.   It's just McKay. No 's. Like Kroger.   [/pedant]   I liked the movie a lot. I love the Texas theater posting above. :up:
  22. +1 to mike_f and Lumber_Jack.   Vandy has poured a lot of money into the football program under Franklin, including a new $31 million indoor practice facility. He's not leaving for the money. He's leaving for the prestige of running a big name program.   http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000277135/article/vanderbilt-unveils-31-million-indoor-athletic-facility
