Opie was my favorite character so I am quite pissed today. I could see it coming the entire episode so I wasnt surprised. I'm pretty sure we havent seen the last member death this season. Poor Juice cant buy a break, gets laid then gets gut shot.

I grew up in Pensacola and the Lexington was stationed there most of my childhood. I loved going out to NAS Pensacola to see it. I hated when they decommissioned her and moved her to TX. I am glad to hear that it is in good shape and that people are still enjoying it.

When I see extremely out of shape rednecks wearing Walmart Tapout shirts I like to go up and ask them where they train. Here is my favorite perk so far!! Back stage at UFC 145

ShamGlock forgot to mention that he is an undefeated cage fighter himself. Humility is his specialty. Brazillain Jiu Jitsu is the real deal, been training about two years. I provide medical care at many local/regional MMA fights, have worked one Strikeforce and UFC 145.

My Biolight stove arrived today, I am pretty eager to see if it works or not. After I try it out I will post a review. -
Question on registering a vehicle in TN after we relocate
pitt2magic replied to a topic in General Chat
And Hamilton County will also require an emmisions test before they will give you a tag. Its only $10 but it is at a different location than the tag office which is a total pain in the butt. -
Mike is correct, the current quick clot produces no heat. As for who ever said they say no need for it outside of the battlefield heres a personal example. I keep my swat medic bag packed and ready. My neighbors father in law came over to play with his grandkids and ended up falling in the yard hitting his head on a large rock knocking himself unconscience for a short time. He was pouring blood from a head laceration. I tried direct pressure for quite some time but he had cut an artery and I couldn't get it stopped. I pulled out a quick clot gauze and applied pressure for about one minute and the bleeding had stopped and we were able to suture the laceration. The stuff works and it has many other applications than just battle wounds.

Yep, stop the bleeding. Let antibiotics fix the infection later.

Putting a bag together yourself is definitely the way to go. I'm a RN and a SWAT medic so my bag may be a bit ridiculous for some but here is what I consider a good start: CAT( Military style tourniquet that can be applied one-handed) Quick Clot Gauze (not the powder, the gauze that is impregnated with the clotting chemical) SAM Splint Israeli type bandage Gauze to make a pressure dressing Medical tape trauma shears For a non medically trained person that is a good start. I carry large bore needles for chest decompression but unless you know where to put it you could do more damage than good.

^^^^^^^^^ I also use the 5.11covert 18. I carry my laptop, iPad , and my daily junk along with my carry weapon and spare mags. It's a great laptop bag as well as a great everyday backpack.

the books are great, I read them and then encouraged my 13 year old daughter to read them. She finished all three in just a couple weeks. I think the books/movie open up a chance for dialogue with the younger generation on how dangerous the government can be when given too much power. She and I have had some pretty incredible conversations since reading them. I was shocked and pleased to see she and I think a lot alike.

I can't believe you got 10k miles out of a dealer set of tires. Most tires that come on bikes are crap. The new tires are damn sexy, enjoy breaking them in.

I "drive" motorcycles and I don't rev my engine at stoplights. My best guess is that the person on the throttle is a douche bag.

Understanding 'The Fence'--A Critically Important Tactic

Yep, I have 25-30 people coming over. I'm a sucker. Go Steelers

I too was online at 10:00 placing an order without success. It is truly B.S. that Ticketmaster lets this happen. All they care is that the tickets are sold, they don't care that a $49 ticket is being resold for $300 just seconds after the sale starts. I really wanted to take my daughters to this show and they were pretty disappointed. I wish more bands were like Pearl Jam and would boycott Ticketmaster and sell tickets themselves. If I were Mumford and Sons I would be pretty pissed off.

Been waiting a long time for tonight to get here.

NYC arrests another HCP holder (this one from TN)

Tennessee tourist arrested after trying to check loaded gun at World Trade Center memorial | timesfreepress.com Thoughts? While I feel for her, people really need to do some research before carrying out of their home state. -
You don't want to live within 10 miles of ShamGlock.

The wife and I bought a Sequoia the first year that they came out and absolutely loved it. We put a ton of miles on it and never had an ounce of trouble out of it. In 2005 we traded it for a new Sequoia because that's the year they put captains chairs in the middle row which made it easier for our kids to get to the third row of seating. We love our Sequoia, I normally trade cars frequently, we have no plans to get rid of it unless it blows up (very doubtful) or when our kids are all driving and we don't need a kid bus anymore.

I have been been a stay at home dad for almost 2 years. My wife makes considerably more money than I was. Paying for child care and always making arrangements for someone else to have our children seemed stupid. I have to admit that it took me some time to let my ego accept this role but the time with my boys makes it totally worth the jabbing I occasionally get from my buddies.

I can honestly say that I know nothing about cruiser bikes but have owned several Japanese sport bikes. 4 Suzukis, 2 Yamahas and a Kawi. Every bike has run flawlessly. I would think that to find a reliable bike in your price range a Japanese bike is the way to go. Hope you find what you are looking for.
