  5.     From what I've read, these functioned like pre-beta samples.            To paraphrase prior conversations I've had....     Manager - "The cost is too high, we've got to implement these changes to get the cost down to our target before launch".  (because I won't get my fat bonus check if we don't)   Engineer - "Those changes haven't been validated.  We need another 8 weeks for that."   Manager - "No, the timeline isn't going to change.  You have to accelerate the validation program."   Engineer - "I can't.  It takes time to produce the hardware and run the tests.  9 women can't have a baby in a month."   <- yes, I actually said that once.   Manager - "Just implement them.  You can smooth out the rough edges later."   Engineer - "It's a lot more than just rough edges...   Launch could be a total train wreck."   Manager - "Whatever, either reduce the cost or senior management will go nuts."   Engineer - "Fine, you're the boss.  But this will probably be ugly."   *train wreck occurs*   Manager - "You idiots!  Can't you do anything?!  I'm sorry mr. senior manager, I have no idea what these dang engineers were thinking not validating those changes...."

  8. And this is the real problem with our current form of government.  Qualified immunity and sovereign immunity...  that the law makers and government bureaucrats get to decide who has 'standing' to challenge their bad behavior in court, and even if they're problem wrong/guilty nothing happens to them...  they don't owe any money... they don't loose their jobs...  the don't spend time in jail.   We need a way for citizens to force the criminal prosecution of a government employee or politician, and completely remove virtually all qualified immunity from government employees.

  9. The sad part is there is no "cost" for the current administration to behave badly, as any penalty or even just the court costs all are paid from the public trough. Thus they have tremendous incentive to behave badly

  12. Another suggestion......   Davidson's offers a lifetime guarantee through their dealers to the first owner.  Did the lifetime guarantee paperwork accompany the firearm?  If not, you may wish to call Davidson's to see if it has already been registered.

  14. My organization, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, broke the story on this earlier this year.  As has been pointed out above, it is a multi pronged attempt to cut off and starve industries Elizabeth Warren, when she was the head of the Consumer FInancial Protection Bureau, deemed risky behavior  In other words consumers buying things she didn't, doesn't, think they should be involed in.   The DOJ is threatening / pressuring banks to cut off banking and access to credit to legal industries the administration has a problem with.  I am at present interested in knowing someone / business, who has been effected and who would like to sue the governmet for cause.  Holdler said Monday he is committed to seeing this operation though.  I hope to stop him in his tracks and we have a history of sucessfully doing just that.

  15. How does it help an officer asking if you ar armed? If you are a "good" guy and answer yes, is his mind any further at ease than if he simply had not asked? If you are a "bad" guy and answer no but really are armed should the officer let his guard down? Seriously its kind of a silly question IMHO, as the person who is not a threat will answer honestly and the person who is a threat will not. Am i missing something here?

  20. I'm so sorry to hear this.   I've been close to a couple of suicides over the years and they've really taught me two things.  One, depression is not a problem, it's a disease.  And two, there have got to be some better solutions for chronic pain management - even if those fall outside of our traditional norms.  Our society treats so many problems with simple patches when there are no easyfixes.  We've got to do a better job on both fronts.

  21. I have bought three new Taurus' and have never seen one that looked that bad, EVER. Glad you are satisfied with their excuse but I am not sure I would have taken it so easily. I do not believe what he said for one second.   Just a suggestion, might want to call Taurus and see if it has ever been in for warranty work.

  24. All parts are available from Lowe's and require no special skills. You can use this to pull water from a well or any other water source. Only a saw to cut the PVC and glue to put it together. For under $40 you can pump water from 10 feet and it is less than $0.60 per foot after that. So for me to get to 80 feet it is going to cost under $100 total. Here are the parts: A: 1 1/2" Plastic Foot Valve SKU: 27767 Cost: $16.50 (This is a one way valve) B: 1 1/2" DWV Male Adapter SKU: 331503 Cost: $0.98 C: 1 1/2"x2' PVC SCH 40 SKU: 255098 Cost: $2.81 (I used this 2' section to show how it is setup, use any length to get to water) D: 1.5" Sanitary Tee SKU: 23394 Cost: 1.09 E: Section of the 1.5" PVC pipe Cost: Free as it is cut from existing 1.5" pipe F: 1 1/2" SCH40 Cap SKU: 23899 Cost: $0.83 G: 1" Plastic Check Valve SKU: 28056 Cost: $10.76 H: 1"x3/4" PVC adapter (we couldn't get it to ring up so I do not have the SKU. It will thread into the 1" one way valve and slide over the 3/4" PVC pipe) It is marked I: 3/4" PVC pipe with several 1/4" holes drilled into it for water flow J: 3/4" PVC coupling SKU: 23850 Cost: $0.24 K: Something to block water flow into the pump handle L (whatever you can find to keep water out) L: 3/4"x10' SCH 40 PVC SKU: 23971 Cost: $2.08 Here is a closer look as the working parts of the pump: How it works is you asemble the larger, outer casing as pictured. Make sure the foot valve flow is going up. The 1.5" casing (marked in red) can be a full 10" section or more depending on how deep you need to go to reach water (I am going to 80'). The sanitary Tee should be at the vary top regardless of how much pipe you have because that is where the water is going to come out. I only used a 2' section to illustrate how everything should go together. The cap shoul have a hole drilled in it for the pump rod to pass through. Next you assemble the inner working which is similar to the outer workings only smaller. Make sure the check valve flows upward. The check valve fits snugly enough into the 1.5" pipe to give a good enough seal to pull water. Screw the one way valve into the 1"x3/4" male adapter. The section of pipe with the holes in it allows water to pass from the inside of the 3/4" section to the ouside but still inside the 1.5" sections. The water is going to raise in the 1.5" section and not the 1" section. If you try to pump water up the 3/4" section the rod will get too heavy to lift. You will need to seal the pump rod at the bottom between it and the section with holes in it so it doesn't get any water into it. It actually works in your favor because the pump rod will "float" and raise on its own. This makes pumping easier. Ans when you have the two sections assembled you slide the 1" section into the 1.5" section. Install the Tee at the top of the 1.5" casing for the water to pour out. and install the cap to center the pump rod. As you pull up on the rod water is pulled through the 1.5" foot valve but cannot go back out. As you push the pump rod down the water now pushed through the 1" one way valve. This puts water on top of the valve. The next time you pull up it pulls water through the 1.5" valve but also lifts the water that isalready on top of the 1" valve. With this setup each pump moves 1/4-1/2 gallon of water per pump. Plenty for most people. I am going to use this to pull water from about 80 feet in my well. No need for electricity to get water any more. People use this setup to pull water from hundreds of feet. This doesn't need to be vertical either, as long as the foot is under water it will work. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Dolomite Don't be fooled into thinking you need the metal valves either. The metal ones do not fit well and will need to be machined to get a decent seal.

  29.   In the book, I believe the only example of that happening over a barrier was in the Israeli situation, though it also happens to some extent on battlefields where they pile up as they are killed.   But all more slowly -- the Fast Zed Syndrome was added for the flick. In the already nonsensical "logic" of Zombieism, it really makes little "sense" that a reanimated corpse would be faster than it was in real life after all.   In 28 Days After and 28 Weeks After, they aren't really zombies, but just living people infected by the rage virus.   - OS

  30. I know with 100% certainty the database query that is ran to look up your plate does not contain either your DL or HCP status.  That requires a separate query.     Now, it's possible some departments have setup their software to automatically query the registered owner's information when they run a plate.  But, in some situations that won't work unless you happen to be the registered owner of the vehicle in question.   Starting July 1st, you won't need a permit to carry a loaded gun in your vehicle, so it really becomes mute at that point anyhow ;)

  35. It’s just conversation. Engaging a person in conversation can tell you a lot, and possibly keep you alive. He may also be asking so he can let his partner (who is walking up on the passenger’s side of your vehicle) know what’s going on. Everyone has their own style of how they handle a traffic stop. If I was stopping a vehicle as a possible DUI and it comes back he has an HCP; my first concern would be determining if he is armed and separating him from that weapon. As any cop that has been on the street for a while can tell you; a “routine” “minor” traffic stop can quickly turn into something much more.

  41. I have known about them knowing you have HCP through your license tags for over a year so it didn't surprise me when he asked if I was armed without having my drivers license yet. It would only make total sense for the tags that are on your vehicle would be connected to your motor vehicle registration which is connected to your DL so why would your HCP not be tied to it also? That is becoming the way of the world.   There is no real privacy any longer except if your the President and he has locked up his records so no one knows who he really Is        "but vote for me anyway"  Like Hillary Said."What difference does it make now"?................jmho

  42. [quote name="dralarms" post="1162121" timestamp="1403624980"]Trying to get page to load. But if true its really bad on the grandmother.[/quote] The grandmother is from the same family responsible for this girl being mauled, nearly to death, by a pack of pitbulls that their family keeps in the backyard. That tells me everything I need to know. It baffles me the outrage at KFC from an unsubstantiated claim of an insult when this girl was permanently disfigured because of gross negligence at the hand of her own blood. Every adult in her family should be too ashamed to show their faces to the world, let alone make false claims about an innocent third party in an attempt to garner sympathy and cash. I can't even fit the idea of these people in my head. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  47. I'm starting to doubt that I'll buy a new gun anywhere that's not a vendor here. Maybe Walmart Or Academy I guess, but I can't see a reason to do business with anyone who isn't a vendor. I'd say shoot the thing and enjoy it, if you feel hinky about the whole thing then lesson learned. Greenbriar isn't far from Brentwood/Franklin anyway.
