Mmmmmmm ..... Food Club Cola...... Perfect for when you find the price of Big K to be a little out of your budget.

It's going to be be one of 3 things: 1. A false alarm in which case you don't want the alarm to keep blaring. Turn it off. 2. An intruder who was scared off by the alarm. the threat is gone. Turn it off. 3. An intruder who wasn't scared off and the cops are 40 minutes away. You need to be able to listen for the intruder, hear and be heard on the phone call from the alarm central station/police, and possibly give the intruder commands that can be heard and understood. Turn it off. Side note: Check with ADT to see if your volume can be adjusted. A home alarm doesn't need to be loud enough the wake the dead 3 doors down. It just needs to wake you up and let an intruder know that an alarm has been triggered. An NCAA basketball gymnasium buzzer isn't necessary. If not, consider terminating ADT and getting a new alarm that doesn't suck and costs less. You can get a system where you can adjust the volume and duration of the alarm. SimpliSafe for example (lots of others do the same) lets you adjust the volume of the alarm and set the duration from 30 seconds to 8 minutes before it auto-silences. If Mr. Burglar hasn't fled in 30 seconds, he's staying for the duration. See option 3 above.

Very interesting. I'm surprised the film held up so well for 250+ years.

never mind

Wow! That has almost doubled in value in 55 years!

The associate producer took a plea deal. He's just as culpable as Baldwin and the armorer* but only the first to squeal gets the deal. * If what the armorer's attorneys say is true, she may very well be found not-guilty.

The guy on the right is yelling "Soooorrrry!"

Stop! You guys are making my Hungary!

Yep. If you're not well -stocked then set your strike price in your mind and keep a watch on it. When your caliber(s) hit that price, load up.

I guess that was when one cop said to put his hands behind his back while another cop had him in a wrist lock. You know . . .that chance . . :smh: [/sarcasm]

It does. It's just washed out in the overexposure. The guy's fingers are wrapped around it.

@Hozzie You could add ~10 minutes to your drive and take OHB through Brentwood towards Bellevue, then back in towards town on Hwy 100/70S or Hwy 70. That avoids most of Nashville altogether and stays in the areas less prone to protests. Then if it turns out to be a big nothing-burger, take your regular route home.

What's "radio"?

From the article . . . emphasis mine Because when you're tangling with a mountain lion a plain old Judge just won't do. You need to show him you mean business with "presentation-grade wood grips, a brushed hand-applied satin-stainless steel finish".

In the old Harding Mall in Nashville before its demise, there was a Weight Watchers literally between a Blimpie's Subs and a Baskin Robbins. I have no idea who was there first, but someone was a genius.

I'm not saying I'll get kidnapped by a dude in a dress and a 3-day beard, but if it happens, this is how.

This has me wondering about other movie stunts that are inherently dangerous. If actor A throws actor B off a roof as part of the script and the safety harness or crash bag fails, would we be talking about how actor A is responsible? A stunt coordinator was supposed to setup the equipment properly. Why would we expect actor A to be knowledgeable about inspecting the safety gear? That's what the stunt coordinator is for. Or if actor A is handed a real knife instead of a collapsible prop knife and stabs actor B. Is actor A supposed to check the knife to be sure the spring works? Again, someone upstream is supposed to be getting all that stuff right so the actor can, you know, "act". Other than having different procedures for a gun vs. a prop knife vs. a fall harness, what makes an accidental shooting different from an accidental stabbing or fall for the actor? I get the negligence issues for the armorer and producer (and whoever brought the live ammo onto the set). Yeah, we all here on TGO know the proper safety steps with a firearm, but in that sense we're closer to being the stunt coordinators/armorers than we are being the actors. It seems that as an actor it's a stretch to charge him. In that situation, even if someone hands him a revolver on a set and says "cold gun" AND he checks it and see shells in the cylinders, I can see where he might still think they're dummy rounds so the gun doesn't look empty. The cylinders need to have "bullets" in them or we'd be the first ones pointing at the screen saying "stupid liberal! his gun's empty!" He may not have the gun knowledge to make that determination and as an actor he shouldn't be expected to.

That'll teach me to listen to the "legal experts" on the morning news shows.

In New Mexico a conviction on Involuntary Manslaughter carries the penalty of 0 days to 18 months in jail. Even if convicted by a jury, it's possible the judge will release him with time served, or he/she could stick him with the full 18 months. Either way, it would make him a convicted felon. He shouldn't pick up a gun for the rest of his life, but I doubt the BATFE would go after him if he's seen in a future movie with a gun in his hand.
