I don't think we can blame the Corps for this one. He says on his site that he has an eduction of 13 3/4 years. I wonder if that put him in the 4th or the 5th grade. Maybe I'll vote for him. In the off chance he wins, I'll have lifetime immunity from state prosecution. From his site: WHAT IMPORTANT: 1.Education a. School violents (maybe I gave those 13 3/4 years too much credit) b. Add reading of the minutes to the U.S.Congress mandatory (I'm at a loss as to what the reading of the US Congressional minutes has to do with education, or how a TN governor plans to enforce this. I guess it covers the "Readin" part of the 3 Rs.) c. Get more of the lottery money to 1-12 (I'm not sure if he's planning on screwing over kindergarteners, or if he means he wants the numbers 1-12 to come up in the powerball drawing more often. I'm thinking he may want to switch to scratch-offs.) 2.Equal Health care a. a free gift program (Dr.: "Mr. Anderson, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you have cancer. If you order your chemo-therapy today, we'll give you an additional treatment, absoultely free just pay shipping and handling. But wait there's more! If you order now, we'll also throw in a colostomy bag! Still not enough? Well if you call now, we'll sign you up with a lifetime subscription to the jelly of the month club. But in your condition, I don't think you'll get to try very many. That's two chemo treatments, a colostomy bag, and one, maybe two jars of jelly. All thanks to the State of Tennessee's new free gift program!") b. take a look at and redo all mandtory insurance programs (All one of them?) c. See why dental is not in most plans a tooth aches hurt more than a back aches and no teeths depresses people

Is that confidence or what?

RFID tags in individual items, as opposed to their common use on shipping containers, pallets, or cartons is game changing. 1) Inventory: Barcode scanning doesn't allow for instant inventory tracking due to loss. I know I brought in 100 of item X, and I sold 40 through the cash registers. I should have 60 remaining on my shelves. But I really only have 57 due to 2 thefts and one that passed a register and didn't get scanned by the cashier. No more cycle counts. RFID gives instant scan capability for the whole store. 2) Placement: The retailer can know if customers are picking up item A in one location, but then putting it down in another, perhaps then picking up item B. They can then see that product B is preferred over product A, but A is in a more visible spot. You can't see that with barcodes, since you only know that the customer eventually purchased B. 3) Checkout: Get a cart, wander all around the cavernous Wally World filling it with WWB ammo, action DVDs, nacho cheese, a hoodie, and steaks. Then you take it all out of the cart and place each item on the conveyor belt. Then each one is individually scanned and placed in a bag. Then the bag is put back in the cart. What if the cart could tell you exactly how much your purchase was as you added each item? And what if you simply pushed your cart to a check out station, or through a scanning arch, that can "see" every item in the cart (or in a jacket pocket) without them being removed? UPC can't do that. RFID can.

I gotta hand it to that guy. He really knows how to hammer home an instructional safety bulletin.

What's that doctor doing with a pound of ground chuck in the E.R.?

I'm a big fan of the Eat This Not That books. They show substitutes from the grocery store or restaurants. Some simple substitutes can save 100's of calories and/or dozens of fat grams in a single meal. They recognize that I'm going to eat ice cream, but once I see the difference in some of the brands on the nutrition side, I can make better choices. I get regular e-mail updates from ETNT via Men's Health. It has helped a lot to keep my cholesterol in check. and my weight where I want it to be. Another site that has lots of restaurant nutritional info, along with the Weight Watchers point value for each dish. Eye opening.... Dotti's Weight Loss Zone - DWLZ Restaurants Take a look at the Outback cheese fries.....

Actually, they aren't so big that you couldn't carry it. they make a shorter barreled one called The Judge: Public Defender. But they're both a poor choice for carry, at least with the .410 shells. Check out the test results from The Box-O-Truth. The .45 Colt looks like it would be fine for that, and you could use the .410 shells for something besides self defense, like clays, or those things with no legs.

Just so I'm clear that my TiVo didn't screw me over: The first hour was the regular Deadliest Catch show and the second hour was After the Catch. It wasn't 2 hours of Deadliest Catch, right?

I forgot about Buca di Beppo. Great spaghetti and meatballs.

I thought John's flamethrower was pretty awesome. TiVo /DVR is great for shows like this. I get to see all the cool stuff they're building w/o having to listen to a bunch of whining cry babies.

Why do you think I suggested it to mine?

PeiWei/PFChang's The Loveless Cafe is great too.

Do any of you ladies have experience with a thigh holster? Mrs. monkeylizard may be interested in one for summer carry with dresses/skirts.

RHG, what's the latest on the perv?

I must have seen that pic a dozen times and I've never paid attention to the backstop. Lol. That can't be real.

+1 on GnL. Great staff, broad selection, decent pricing, fair FFL transfer fee, a great gunsmith, a low price on the HCP class, and 2 indoor ranges. Politics and personalities aside, Uselton's range is bright and clean, as is the shop. The staff there were never rude to me when I was first learning about handguns. In fact, they were quite helpful. It's where my wife and I learned to shoot. The instructor was good and the class was very helpful to both of us. I just wish I had known then how overpriced it is. If it wasn't for the stupid high prices on the FFL transfer, classes, guns, supplies, range, and ammo, (that's everything, right?) I'd go back. As it is, I probably never will. I'm a capitalist, so more power to him if he can keep customers at those prices. His only local competition seems to be Franklin Gun Shop, which I hear is equally overpriced. I stopped in at Guns for America yesterday with D3vo. It's a small shop near 100 Oaks. I estimated about a dozen or so long guns and two dozen handguns, plus a selection of accessories and targets. Mrs. Owner was there yesterday. She welcomed us when we came in, then left us to browse. Once we found something we wanted to see, she was very helpful. FFL fee is reasonable, and the shop is centrally located. Keep up the good work.

From the pics, paintless dent repair (PDR) looks like a good candidate. That's the dent wizard/dent genie process. Mike.357's post about $50-75 per dent is about right. More than that and you're getting taken for a ride. The type of dent makes a difference. Think baseball dent vs. sharp object dent. PDR is good on the first, but can only mitigate the second. Call your Jeep dealer and ask who they use for their PDR work. You can also call your insurance and ask for a recommended PDR shop, even if you don't file a claim. +1 on the dry ice. Run, don't walk.

Long guns are fine, AFAIK. It's handguns that have to pass through an FFL for ownership to legally cross state lines (with some exceptions).

What do you fill the sandbags with (and don't say "sand")? I mean, does it matter what kind of sand is used? Is there some particular grade that needs to be used? I've seen some sites say kitty litter works, which would suggest a very coarse sand and not a fine powder sand. Does it matter?

Is that Randy Quaid?

It's coming back to Discovery on July 27th. New location, new suvrivors, new challenges.
