  I'd probably find some gasoline to throw on 'em.

It seems pretty simple to me. If the parking lot was legally off-limits by state law before, it's no longer that way for HCP holders once the law goes into effect. Federal properties excluded.   Being legal <> being OK   One can still be fired if there is a policy against it, but there won't be any legal charges for it. It remains to be seen if students can be expelled or not, but like employees, won't face criminal charges (assuming all other legal requirements are met).

  He just has to be removed the gene pool to qualify. Depending on shot placement, he may still be in the running.

Right now you don't need the stickers. You could probably sell one for 400 at some of these gun shows.

  No.

You're looking for TCA 39-17-1308   It lists the exceptions.

Who do you think stuck those grips on it? ;)

Endless slave labor. Treadmills + zombies + generator = free electricity.

Here's what F-Troop has to say about it:   http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/rulings/atf-rulings/atf-ruling-2010-6.pdf

Oh...you mean he did his job. Gotcha. In that case, I rescind my earlier criticism and would like to formally submit him for the MOH. Maybe we should name an air base after him.

I like that he chose the name of a saint who was known to defy and embarass the Vatican establishment. Well played, and it sounds like a good fit for his personality and ministry style.

Well sure it is. The final episode is the big grand finishing move each season. That's all fine and good, but they need to keep me interested the rest of the season to get to that point. I know they can't spend a ton of moneyt each week like they can for the last episode, but they don't have to. Case in point, the cafe with Michonne and Carl....That's not a big-budget scene, but it could have been a LOT scarier. They started to do something scary with the "hidden" zombie behind the bar, but that turned into a big bunch of nothing.   After this season, I think it's going to fall into the "watch it when I have nothing else to do" category".

I was talking with d3vo today at lunch and I think I figured out what missing that I don't like about this season and what I didn't like about much of season 2: Fear of the zombies. There isn't any in most episodes. Season 1 was full of "Oh crap!" moments where you just knew someone was gonna get eaten. Season 2 was 3 weeks of walking around in the woods looking for zombie-Sophie, followed by the rest of the season sitting more or less safe at the farm. We had the one episode with Rick and Shane on a run to where the school bus was that had some good "are they gonna make it?" moments, and of course the last episode was full of fear for the characters.   This season started strong while clearing the prison, and having their "stalker" drawing zombies in on them. Since then they're sitting tight in their safe cell block. Woodbury/TheGuv is a threat, sure, but I can get that human vs human threat on lots of shows. Even during "Clear" the Z's are sparse and eaily trapped or avoided. This is the show where the zombies should be the things to fear. With the safety of the fences and bars plus the ease of killing them with a pocket knife, they've been reduced to an irritant. The fact that Woodbury is using them for sport further reduces the fear factor.   When I see Z's showing up now, I wonder what kind of gory explosions the FX guys are going to pull off when the Z is dispatched. I used to wonder which human was going to die.

Which I still don't understand. Why not go stick them through the fence? I guess they're afraid they'll get Oscar'd by Woodbury people hiding in the woods...you know...the ones the zombies can't find...whatever.

You give Vista too much credit.

What BigK said. F=MA or Force = Mass x Acceleration.   The key here is mass. Caster is correct about Newton's 3rd law. There is an equal amount of energy pushing against the rifle as there is pushing against the bullet. But that energy is pushing against a 55gr bullet on one side, and  8-10 pounds of rifle on the other side. It's why we feel less force in the form of recoil when shooting a heavier gun over a lighter gun using the same round and all other factors being equal.   So if you convert the 150gr bullet in BigK's example to grams then multiply it by 2800, that gives you the force (well, for science, you'd change it to meters/sec first). Then convert the mass of the rifle to grams and multiply it by 2.4. That would give you the force of each object.   The area of impact affects how the energy is transferred. All kinetic energy transfers at the point of impact of 2 objects. That's why a hypodermic needle penetrates the skin with very little force, but a boxing glove hitting you with the same amount of force is nothing. It's the same amount of force, but the focusing of that force causes more trauma to the body. It's why bullet shape matters in ballistics. It's not just about aerodynamics.

same thing.

Budget makes a difference too. A $500 apartment <> $1200 apartment. Both can be found within 30 minutes of downtown.

His work was apparently comprehensive and has reportedly helped ease tensions between US Forces and the locals, probably saving lives by de-escalating a tense situation and helping prevent more of the same in the future. It was done quickly and effectively, and it was beyond the scope of his normal duty assignments. Good job. He probably deserves a citation of some kind. His commander(s) think it deserves a significant citation. That's what the Meritorious Service Medal is for. It was made specifically to be an award comparable to the Bronze Star for non-combat meritorious service. I would have leaned more towards the one-tier-lower Air Force Commendation Medal, but not knowing the actual effect of his work on the ground makes that hard to call from the sidelines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meritorious_Service_Medal_(United_States)       Appraently the USAF likes to pass out the BSM for non-combat service more than the other branches do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Star_Medal   <<emphasis mine>>   Giving him a Bronze Star for this is a disgrace. If he had any character at all, he'd refuse that citation recognizing what it really means and knowing that he does not deserve a combat medal for this. I suppose that by being deployed to Afghanistan that he was techincally in a combat zone, but any normal person knows that being in a theater with combat operations <> combat zone.

In the mean time, you're OK to carry on your own property and at your business if you're the business owner. I encourage you to wear it around your house. Get used to the weight and play with the position/cant to find what works best for you.   You can grab some snap caps and practice your draw-aim-shoot motion too. Follow all the safety rules.

At least on NBC's "Revolutions" they showed getting water from a pond once. I don't expect them to do it every week on TWD, but you'd think they would have mentioned it at the prison at least once.

  The kicker for me is water. Not once have they ever been looking for clean water. In the 1st season of "The Colony" they spent a lot of their time just collecting, transporting, and filtering water.   I could overlook these survival issues.....but only if we can get some good zombie stuff going on. Five slow moving walkers showed up this week, all lined up nice and easy. I'd like to know how Andrea's little 2" pocket knife drove through the eye socket and all the way to the brain stem. Bovine Scatology.   Plain and simple, the walkers are too easy to kill now and the characters have a real non-chalant way they approach them. The people never checked around the grain silos before going right through the middle to dispatch the walkers. What if a couple had come in from the sides that they didn't check for? Easy walker-food. The things aren't setting up flanking maneuvers on purpose, but they do tend to come from all directions and converge on the same spot.....you.

Rick clearly knows the guy's a sociopath after what he did to Maggie. He told Herschel at the end that even if he gives up Michonne, the Gov. will still come kill them all. Rick knew all of that sitting at the table. He should have blown his brains out and already had a plan with Darryl and Hershel on what to do if that went down, or better yet, a way to warn them it was about to happen. He should have had a plan with the others to move very quickly on the town afterwards.   Of course, like they said on Talking Dead, if he shoots Phillip, the rest of the season is putting up curtains in the prison.

If she stacked them while still hot, that can happen. Glass is strange stuff. I've talked with a guy who managed a bottling facility in Louisville (old Forrester) who said he's seen bottles get dropped to concrete from 12 feet and not break, and has seen them break while being picked up by a human hand.
