Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury said an autopsy on White is still underway, but confirmed he was struck four times. Salisbury said the manner of death would be ruled a homicide, but added it would be ruled justifiable. "In Berkeley County, if you kick someone's door in and you get shot, as long as I'm the coroner, that's going to be a justifiable homicide," Salisbury said. Ollic said investigators believe the homeowner acted in self-defense and that the killing was justified. Not considered murder, but he homicided the out of him.

No, it means you are careful.

The man never really got the credit he deserved, but Rock and Roll would not exist without him. Sad story, and a hell of a talented man.

There is one tool that has helped me more than anything else when it comes to learning about ballistics. That is Ballistic AE (Advanced Edition). It is available for Apple products and is the best app out there for calculating firing solutions. It costs $20 but is worth a lot more. It really is an amazing piece of kit. It gets updated regularly and has every bullet, in every caliber, on the market or at least I have yet to find a bullet not in the catalog. When I go to zero I select the bullet (there is literally thousands) I am using, I shoot across a chronograph to get velocity and input that into the program. Next I hit a single icon within the program and the program polls all the local cell phone towers to determine your location. The it uses the cell phone data to get the average weather conditions like temperature, humidity, height and that is your zero conditions. And the next place you shoot you hit the same icon and the program does the same thing again but this time it makes changes based on the difference between the zero conditions and current conditions. It has traditional trajectory charts but also has a HUD where you can make changes on the fly. It takes into account the earths rotation, the bullets curve as well as the firing angle when shooting up or down from horizontal. This program allowed me to get first round hits at 350 yards shooting subsonic ammunition. I have used Strelok, Knights Armament and a bunch of free apps and Ballistic AE is the best, period. http://ballisticapp.com/

Then wouldn't "bless his heart" be appropriate?

OK, this post if for your information and is only to help you make a choice between the available options. I don't promise that my recipe will not cause skin cancer or turn you into a zombie after prolonged use. Do the research for yourself, or use a commercial mix. Always follow the manufacture's instructions and precautions. Permethrin is a popular and well known treatment for ticks, chiggers, mites and other biting insects. It is often marketed as a mosquito repellent, but it doesn't actually repel any insect. What it does do is kill insects that come into contact with the treated fabric. IT IS NOT APPROVED TO PUT ON YOUR SKIN! This is intended to be applied to your clothes or gear prior to use and allowed to fully dry before contacting your skin. There are several commercially available options that are directly marketed towards outdoor sportsmen. Here are the most popular options: REPEL brand sold "Permanone Tick Repellent" aerosol for year in an orange and blue can. Now they sell it as "Mosquito Stop", but it is basically the same stuff. Coulston's Duranon Tick Repellent is a similar aerosol spray with the same percentage of permethrin. This can often be found at your local Co-Op or hunting supply store. Sawyer's Tick Repellent is a newer popular option. It is available at some Wal-Marts and some Dick's and other big box stores. It is supposed to be FDA approved for use on clothing for human. The first "Homemade Permethrin" recipe I tried was using DurationTM 10% Permethrin mixed with water to make a .5% concentration which I poured into spray bottles. This was a much cheaper option than the 3 listed above. However, Duration got more expensive and harder to find so I moved to my current brand. It used to claim to be the "ONLY" FDA approved 10% concentrate approved for use on clothing for humans. Currently, and for the past 2 years I have used Martin's 10% Permethrin to mix with water and make a spray treatment for my hunting and hiking clothes. I buy Martin's online. Usually it is available on Amazon for a decent price. Martin's is not FDA approved for a clothing treatment for humans. DID YOU READ THAT STATEMENT? With that said, I have done quite a bit of research into the various permethrin mixtures available. Most are marketed toward treatment of ticks and mites on Cattle, Dogs and other Livestock. Many of these are not suitable for clothing treatments because they contain a percentage of petroleum to aid in the sticking on cattle and other livestock. This is the same for the permethrin lawn treatment products that are available at Home Depot and Lowes. Lot's of people have used these, but from what I have read it's safer to avoid the products that list petroleum in the ingredients. I buy the 16oz bottle of Martin's 10% Permethrin and mix it with 2.5 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket. The mix to get to .5% is 6.4 ounces per gallon of water or 1oz to 20 oz of water. Lots of folks use 1oz to 15oz of water, that gives you .625% and is stronger than needed, but fits nicely in a 16oz spray bottle. My mix makes it just less than .5%, but I can tell you from experience that it is completely effective at killing ticks. I have found many dead ticks on my treated clothing. After I mix up a bucket, I dip my clothes in, wearing gloves, I wring out the clothes back into the bucket. I dipped 5 pairs of pants, 5 shirts and a couple sets of base layers this years. I still had enough left in the bucket to fill 3 16oz spray bottles for reapplications. In the past 3 years I have had ZERO tick bites. I have found a few on me, both dead and alive. No seed tick attacks, no chigger attacks, and it does kill mosquitoes if they stay in contact with the fabric. I also use Martin's to mix up a tick dip for my dogs. I follow the instructions provided with the bottle to make the dog dip. I used it on both my dogs and have not seen any sign of skin irritation. I left a tick on my dog and sprayed it with the dog dip and the next day the tick had fallen off. I assume it died. There are no fleas or ticks on my dogs so I am a believer that the dip works. BTW, the dog dip mix is many times weaker than the .5% that I use for clothing. Don't use the .5% mix on your dogs and don't use it in any mixture on cats. Please remember this is a poison. Do not use the mix bucket for any other purpose. Do not use the spray bottles for any other purpose. Make sure you take care to prevent contamination to unintended areas. Do a little research and you will find that Permethrin is a very versatile insecticide and has lots of useful applications around the house and farm.

I've always been an early adopter of tech. Dialup to high speed cable. I'm not too positive IoT yet. Also not sure I want everything centrally controlled.

I am as ready as i'm going to be.

What the..... Is Woodstock making a comeback? An Australian hipster band who is obviously infatuated with the late 60's Pretty cool though

With those grades, I'd seriously look into other schools (if you haven't already). That seems plenty good enough to get way more than "a fraction of the overall cost". At the end of the day, she'll have the same piece of paper as every other PharmD out there. My grades weren't as good as hers and I got paid to go to grad school. Granted it wasn't pharmacy school, but still.

What you're calling "deceptive marketing practices" is what everyone who rents cars regularly calls "normal". Yes, they take advantage of every opportunity to try to screw customers out of every penny they can. It's called business. The uninformed pay more, sometimes a lot more. Another reason to book online, you have time to read the fine print. Though it's a fun way to piss off a desk agent... ask them for a full print out of the contract before you sign and proceed to read it, in detail, while standing there. Ask them questions about what things mean (they won't have a clue). Not that I've ever done that.

They still do. https://www.tn.gov/twra/topic/trout-information-stockings

Actually the store in Turkey Creek in West Knoxville has great selections and fantastic sale prices. Very friendly staff. Always enjoy going to this location.

I'd give 2 grand to never set foot in a DMV again. My wife and intend to get lifetime renewals week after next.

God guns rock and roll and Chuck Berry.... RIP Johnny B Good!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely right, my friend! I grew up listening to 50s and early 60s music with an older cousin of mine. JL was born in 1944, IIRC, and was a tremendous fan of early rock and roll. He introduced me to the music and I was hooked. Unfortunately we lost him in 1962. But I continue listening to this music today. Rest in Peace to two of my heroes...JL and Chuck Berry.

Perhaps I am not the most culturally diverse person. But I have to ask. What the hell is up with this guy's hair? Is that a puppy cut?

Rode out to LBL this morning and listen to some gobbling. Got drawn for a hunt there this year. I've hunted there before, but not had a lot of luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yeah I wouldn't fish anything that heavy under a dry. it just won't do any good, just fish the streamer alone. Sometimes when you see fish breaking the surface they're actually eating bugs just under the surface. So fishing a dry fly with an emerger as a dropper can catch fish. Next time you buy flies look for some BWO emerger patterns

The coroner in most places I’m aware of have sole jurisdiction over the investigation of deaths. They determine the cause and manner of death. The Police don’t do anything with a body until the Coroner releases it. If the Police want to make an arrest or the DA wants to file charges after a Coroner has called the homicide “justifiable”; they are certainly free to do that. The part I find troubling about this story is that even though the woman had "an extensive felonious criminal record”; she was free. And even though she was a willful participant in a violent home invasion that resulted in death; she was given a bond. It’s too bad that apparently in SC she can’t be charged with murder. She should be, and she is clearly a danger to the citizens and shouldn’t be able to bond out.

I fished the South Holston this weekend and had a great two days! BWO were popping off sporadically and there were occasional rises. Great river!

Yeah, I know you're right. But I'll do this to give them some grief, not to recover funds. I'm retired, got spare time, like to irritate smug bastages and their minions.

It probably came from trade slang terminology. Like the junction box on an electric motor where you wire it up. it's called a "peckerhead" by electricians. Well us 64 year old ones anyway!! LOL

Now I am confused. (Image deleted)

Don't discount the value of my time. I'm self employed. I try to Bill at a rate of no less than $75.00/hour for actual time worked.

I was there and did get in. Got in line about 1:30 and we just barley made it in. He came on stage about 5 min after we found a seat. There were a few hundred empty seats 300 or so but only because they couldn't get the people through security fast enough. It was a lot of fun. Went with my son and his friend who are big supporters. Was a good speech. Spanked the media's be-hind pretty good a couple of times. Crowd was pretty revved up. Minimal issues other than some 20 somethings who thought they could cut the line as we got close to the door. My son and his friend are good sized boys and we weren't having any of it. They moved on around the back of the line after a few words and serious looks were exchanged. It was cold and long and my foot is paying for it today, but it was a good time.

Theater or not the 'ban' was obviously a big, middle finger from the Obast**d administration to gun owners, hunters and all the other 'clingers' His Highness so despised as they went out the door. If the regulation had been needed and meaningful why wouldn't they had put it in place two, four or even eight years ago? Personally, I think that every time an Obama regulation gets cancelled or repealed an angel gets its wings.

Just trying to be polite.....in my very southern way

I'm turning 70 and got the lifetime permit this month... call me an optimist.

I got the lifetime at 66, because I am afraid they might not let me out of the nursing home one day to go and renew it.

At my age, every time I renew, I think it is probably a lifetime renewal.

Not unless you are looking for a samurai knife or beef jerky. Otherwise I wouldn't waste your time. Good deals and prices are no longer found at gun shows, especially Bill Goodman. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

This is a Husqvarna m1907 Swedish Military / m07 Civilian Pistol - chambered in .380 ACP Based on Browning "No. 2" design, or the FN Model 1903, this pre-1911 style pistol was produced by Husqvarna in Sweden after Germany occupied Belgium and cut off Sweden's supply. Browning also licensed his No.2 design to Colt, which resulted in the production of the Colt Pocket Hammerless pistols in both .32 & .38 ACP. This little beauty is a civilian model I believe . . . . . . Enjoy . . . . .
