The first couple had it together. Didn't seem overly "crazy" and had a multi-tiered plan. Very organized. Certainly focused on EOTWAWKI scenarios. They came off looking a bit paranoid, but prepared. I'd say they could make non-preppers rethink a few things, and make most preppers jealous. Survival Doc seemed to be a mix of EOTWAWKI prppeing and a little off the grid living mixed in with some paranoia. His appeal is limited to like-minded people. The best FAIL of the show was that he said he didn't want to use his real name on the show, then when his patient arrived, you can see his name and the name of his practice clearly on a sign behind them. oops. The pool people were more of just off the grid living (gas masks/chem suits aside). That setup is great for sustainable independent living, but I suspect that it would probably get trashed/looted quickly in a neighborhood during SHTF. Some of their ideas could get some of the sustainable living people thinking up some new ideas though. Not a bad feature at all. It shows what can be accomplished in your own backyard if you're willing to learn and get dirty. Those things pay benefits now, not just if their fears are realized. TLC had to have it, so they saved the super-looney-drank-the-Kool-Aid-call-the-men-in-white-coats-makes-Tyler-Durden-look-normal crazies for last. And boy did it deliver. The pool people showed their home canned items and said you have to be really careful about it and get the rings locked down tight and that she never cans meat. Then the last people have "chicken sausage" and "beef heart" in half-filled jars with no locking rings at all sitting on a wicker shelf in the bathroom. DOH! I loved that 1 of their 2 small bottles of liquor stored for bartering or as an antiseptic was already half empty.

That's the new TLC way. Hoarders, Intervention, now this. They used to be a good solid competitor to the Discovery Channel back when both of them ran good documentary shows. TLC tended more towards medical documentaries, but in the past few years, they've fallen into sensationalism and a constant parade of freak shows meant for us to point and laugh. It's sad that they think this is what people want to see. Even worse is that it probably is. Discovery is going the same way with their not-so-reality shows, but TLC is one step away from being a tabloid.

Show aired tonight. I don't think it's a series. Replaying at the following times (central): 8/28 11:00p 9/1 6:00p 9/2 1:00a Umm.... interesting.

9v+ steel wool will light kindling like dried grass. Cell phone battery will work if you don't have a 9v handy.

The worst part will probably be drinking water. With last May's floods, electricity was back up in a few days in most areas. Metro water's 2nd plant was just a few feet from being inundated like the 1st plant was. Wolf Creek breaking would take out both, so no water for a while. Metro gov't was pretty worried about that 2nd plant. Harpeth Valley Utility District is also going to go under. If Wolf Creek goes, spend those 2 days finding every container you can get your hands on that will hold drinking water and filling them up while the taps are still flowing. Ironic.

+1 for StonesRiver on the rifle side. I'm still not comfortable with the way the handgun side is setup, but I'll go occasionally, like this afternoon. About 45 minutes south of downtown is CHMR. It's a $40 membership for a year. You can go every day that they're open all day long and you're still only out $40 for the whole year. It doesn't get cheaper than that and you'll never find a nicer guy than Charlie who owns and operates it. Middle TN TGO meets are often held there. It is good for rifle. He even has a couple of clay throwers setup for shotgun. There is also a small handgun pit. Rifle distances are set at 25y, 50y, and 100y. I hear he's working on some 200y lanes, but I don't know if those are finished yet. CHMR Guns and Leather in Greenbrier has a computer controlled indoor handgun range (5 lanes) with lots of programmable modes. I think it's $15 for an hour. They also have 5 lanes of just motorized target clips (the regular indoor range stuff) for $10 an hour. the Hendersonville store doesn't have the computer control if that's important to you. For shotgun, nothing beats the setup at TN Clay Target Complex. But it's not cheap. http://www.tnclay.com/

At funeral, dog mourns the death of Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan | The Lookout - Yahoo! News The story has been updated with video.

Right. And if it had been a .22 or .380 she would have had a nice bruise to show for her troubles.

I heard about DVDs once. I think I saw some at the Smithsonian.

I can do next Sunday. Any time after 1:00 is good for me.

thanks

Who gets listed in section 9 of the ATF 5310.16? I'm not a business. Should I list my wife too, or just me? She won't be buying any, but would it help in the event of my death if she's also on the C&R license for selling purposes, or is that just making more work?

What happens at the 1:39 mark of the video? I'm not familiar with incendiary rounds at all. It looks like one of them explodes in the chamber.

I think GnL has those at the Greenbrier store.

+1 to the water meter box. I've found one in mine before. I'm extra careful when removing the lid now.

Channel 4 shows 92F and 50% chance of rain this Sunday....

Caster, will you give Charlie a call and see if the upper range is available?

Hard to tell the details of the proof mark, but it looks like crossed keys with a crown over them. I've never seen that used in symbols except for the Pope's.

I can do Thursday at 6:30.

Any night would work for me. City Limit would be quieter. Pizza Perfect gets loud on Friday and Saturday night, but they do have the best pizza....

I don't know if zoning and parcels are relevant or not, but the children's science museum is on the same parcel of land as Fort Negley while Greer is on its own. Fort Negley is parcel 10502044600 Greer is parcel 10502043400 MetroMap

If this is your opinion on gun rights, then I think you'll find that you're not in fact "in total agreement" on gun laws as a whole with many members here. Since when was a right "granted"? Something is either a right or it isn't. If it is then it's not granted by law, it's protected by law.

Greer is not listed as a Metro Park on their website. Nashville.gov - Parks and Recreation - Park Locations Metro Nashville Parks are all off-limits, are not posted, and I don't think they have to be posted. Municode - Search 13.24.440 is the text on their ban in the parks. TCA 39.17.1311 (d) says they can make all parks off-limits and it makes no requirement to post. TCA 39.17.1311 (e)(2) says they have to post, but I seem to recall that certain municipal codes were "grandfathered" in and don't have to. Nashville and Knoxville come to mind. Does anyone know more about that? TCA 39.17.1311 ©(3) looks like the city can simply vote themselves out of the requirement to post. I didn't stay at a Holiday inn Express last night, so this analysis is probably worth what you paid for it.

Sunday afternoon at 2:00? Does that give everyone time to get done with church/family things, grab some lunch and get out there?

Bellevue here as well.
