Now there's a man who knows what's going on. That sounds like an awesome time. All I need is a 1000yd rifle.

I've tried Flitz, and it wasn't bad, but IMHO, nothing compares to JR and a high speed buffer/Dremel. You can find Flitz in almost any store.

I use Jewelers Rouge for all my polishing needs. It can be purchased via the internet, or you can usually find it at your local truckstops. I get mine in liquid form, from our local T/A truckstop. I almost always use the green, but there are several options to choose from. Here is one of the links for the stick/bar type JR. http://www.widgetsupply.com/page/WS/CTGY/jeweler-rouge That is usually what you'll find at most truckstops.

Thank you! I didn't think about looking on Google videos.

Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price is a 2005 documentary film by director Robert Greenwald. The film presents an unfavorable picture of Wal-Mart's business practices through interviews with former employees, small business owners, and footage of Wal-Mart executives. The film intersperses statistics between the interviews to provide large-scale examinations beyond personal opinions. The documentary was released on DVD on November 4, 2005. While the film begins with footage of Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott praising the corporation at a large employee convention, the film spends a majority of its running time on personal interviews. A variety of criticisms of the corporation emerge from these interviews, including alleged anti-union practices, claims that Wal-Mart has a detrimental impact on small businesses, claims that Wal-Mart has insufficient environmental protection policies, and claims Wal-Mart has a poor record on worker's rights in the United States and internationally. The film ends with interviews of community leaders that have prevented Wal-Mart stores from being built in their communities and an exhortation for others to do the same. Synopsis While the film begins with footage of Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott praising the corporation at a large employee convention, the film spends a majority of its running time on personal interviews. A variety of criticisms of the corporation emerge from these interviews, including alleged anti-union practices, claims that Wal-Mart has a detrimental impact on small businesses, claims that Wal-Mart has insufficient environmental protection policies, and claims Wal-Mart has a poor record on worker's rights in the United States and internationally. The film ends with interviews of community leaders that have prevented Wal-Mart stores from being built in their communities and an exhortation for others to do the same. Issues Addressed The following list is a brief description of criticisms and accusations towards Wal-Mart from real life interviews by all kinds of people affected by Wal-Marts in their area. The interviews ranged from actual Wal-Mart managers to small town people (in near chronological order). Small Town Effects The first story in the film is about a man named Don Hunter who starts a hardware store in Middlefield, Ohio with other members of his family in 1992. When Wal-Mart arrives in Middlefield, the hardware stores is forced to close down after 43 years due to unbeatable competition. Later in the film an independent grocery store in Hamilton, Missouri, which was started by Red Esry in 1959 is quickly closed down by the arrival of a Wal-Mart in nearby Cameron. The relatives in the interviews felt it was unfair that the city was giving Wal-Mart subsidies when their grocery store got nothing. In urban cities, subsidies to Wal-Mart are believed to have closed down schools and important city services. Associate woes Several interviews show Wal-Mart associates who are overworked and underwaged. To add to their troubles, the company's health care plan is shown as very expensive at around $70 a week from a regular weekly paycheck. A vast percentage of families are supported by government health care which Wal-Mart seems to encourage their employees to do. It is also revealed that Wal-Mart corporates prevent the creation of any unions within their stores and keeps a closer eye on associates socializing with each other while working as a result. In Germany, Wal-Mart acquired two major retail franchises that were already unionized. The German employees feel that it is unfair for American employees to not have the same benefits they have working at a Wal-Mart. There are also allegations of racism and anti-feminism as well as cheating workers of overtime pay. Other incidences include hiring and locking immigrant workers in their stores during their night shifts. Environment Environmentalists in North Carolina uncover contamination of water the Wal-marts in the area seem to be responsible for. There are also numerous accusations of clean water violation acts by Wal-mart throughout the country. Outsourcing This segment features an interview which portrayed a day in the life of a Chinese Wal-Mart factory worker and her boyfriend. Rent and utilities are taken out of the workers' paycheck. Rent is taken out regardless of whether or not they wish to live in the dormitories the factory provides. There are also allegations that the employees must lie to inspectors who visit the factory that they work 6 days instead of the actual 7 days a week they work. In Bangladesh, women are overworked in sweatshops earning under a quarter an hour. A global service manager was deeply affected by the discovery of working conditions in Latin America. Safety Numerous reports of car thefts, assaults, rapes, and murders of both associates and customers are believed to have been due to Wal-Mart's cost-cutting of security. Most of these reports were committed outside the stores in parking lots. One incident involved a woman being abducted from a parking lot, which was clearly seen on the Wal-Mart security tape, and later murdered. The security videos were unsupervised as the video cameras were meant only to watch out for union activity, not customer safety. Fighting Back The final segment of the film tells the story of two towns that fought off Wal-Marts being built in their towns. One was led by a female pastor in Inglewood, California and another by a senior resident in Chandler, Arizona. Both campaigns eventually grew in high numbers. The film ends with a large list of American cities where Wal-Marts were planning to build but were rejected. That's the short version. You need to watch the movie to really appreciate the cause. It makes me sick.

Looks like a blast! Enjoy your time with the family.

I stumbled upon a 95 minute documentary, 'Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price', while browsing through the On Demand section of Comcast. It's been out since 2005, so some of you may have already seen it. If you haven't, I suggest you take the time to watch it. It's in the Free Movie section. I've always been a proponent of Wal-Mart, but after watching this movie, I'm disgusted with everything Wal-Mart stands for. If you don't have Comcast, the movie is all over Youtube. You may have to watch a section at a time, but it's all there. Thanks to Luckyforward, here is the Google Video link. [ame]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3836296181471292925[/ame]

Is it legal to covert a semi-auto pistol into a fully-auto? Or would that gun have to be made before the ban?

I'm confident you'll be very pleased with your choice. Let us know.

It doesn't get much more compact that 3.5" (L) x 1.0" (W) x 0.75" (thick) I think you'd be better off calling a Private Investigator. Maybe they can tell you where to find one.

This is the closest thing I could find so far. http://www.spy-tronix.com/1gbmp3playervoicerecorder.html

If you're stuck on the 9mm, continue searching. If it were me, I'd go with a .357 and call it good.

Which Nashville store(s) are also having the tent sale?

No, I haven't seen those. I'll have to check them out. I really love this ERGO, but if the plug comes out while shooting, I'll have to figure something out. If worst comes to worst, I'll glue it shut. I have no need for the compartment, so it shouldn't really matter. If I ever need to remove the grip, I guess I'll have to rip the plug out/off. Maybe I can use some kind of glue that doesn't dry like a rock.

I'm not sure if TGO's system can detect multiple users using the same IP, but I doubt Voldemort could keep from being a complete moron long enough to prevent himself from being outed.

Wal-Mart is generally always my first stop. Someone who actually has a GAP may be able to fill you in a somewhere cheaper.

Kwik "Screw Loose" rnu must have gotten to them. Even though I've never heard of the mall, I'll send them a letter as well.

How does the Hogue grip connect to the lower?

Yea, I'm gonna have to think of something. Are the Houge grips the same way? I really like the way ERGO grips curve up the back of the lower, but I could deal with a Hogue if I have to.

You'll be the first one I call. I definitely owe you that much.

I noticed that. I thought about using some kind of glue, but the screw that hold the grip to the lower must go through the bottom of the grip, correct?

I'm in the market for a new Bluetooth, and of course, the JawBone is in the running. I've been using the nXZEN 5000, until it finally took a crap. It was the best Bluetooth I've ever used. Being in a loud truck all day, the Noise Cancellation feature is a must. And not all Noise Cancellation systems are created equal. The nXZEN was superb. I never once had a complaint about the background noise interfering with the conversation. The Jabone has always been highly rated, but I don't know of anyone who's used it. The YouTube video is quite impressive, but while the device seems to cancel out the ambient noise quite well, the actual audio in the video seems quite computerized. It doesn't sound natural. I really like the slimmer, sleeker look of the JawBone 2, but I'd hate to spend that kind of money on something I'm not sure of.

That's Great! They should be ready for production just in time for everyone to convert from 4 to 2 wheels. Scooters are our future.

I'm bored. Here's what I have so far. - Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard - ERGO 'SUREGRIP' Pistol Grip

Thanks! I'll use that when I get my LPK and Trigger.
