  1. I have Emtek locks on all my doors. It's a subsidiary of Assa Abloy. They're not quite as security-centric as Assa Abloy or Medeco locks, but they come in a lot prettier options. They're still light years ahead of anything crapped out of Kwikset's metal-eating goats.
  2. You still may want part of this product or a similar one. The plate on the wooden door frame mounted with long screws is a good idea. Most home improvement stores have them. This spreads the force of the impact along a greater area of the wooden door frame instead of just the two small contact points of the latch and deadbolt. The longer the metal strip, the more it disperses the force. At the very least, you need to replace the short screws on the strike plate and deadbolt plate on the frame with longer screws, even with a steel door. With a wooden door, change the screws mounting the latch and deadbolt too.
  3. That's important for you folks with a wooden door. Reinforcing the door frame is not enough. My in laws have a wooden door and someone kicked it in. The frame itself held fine, but the door split at the deadbolt and latch allowing the deadbolt and latch to just fall out of the door itself. I have no idea why, but my FiL replaced it with another wooden door. I have a steel door and plan to keep it that way.
  4. I just did the same and it worked right away.
  5. Hotmail here too, and no email in my Inbox or Junk Mail folder.
  6. I think you may be there a while. http://www.fox13memphis.com/top-stories/icy-conditions-cause-massive-pile-up-on-i-40/682987373
  7. I have a Streamlight ProTac 2L that I've used an EDC for years. I just got a 1L for Christmas. I use CR123 in them both and can tell a difference in brightness over AA.
  8. I use Streamlight. They seem to be a good balance between the uber-pricey stuff like Surefire and the cheap ones at the box stores.
  9. Yes. I've had to call a few times with questions. No problemo.
  10. I use Fidelity. $4.95 trades and they have some of the best analysis tools around. they're one of (if not the) biggest in the industry and the quality of their software reflects it.
  11. So is that a "no" ?
  12. Can anyone tell me where I can learn to do flips n rolls like these high speed low drag operators? Any chance that @Cruel Hand Luke can teach a class on some of these moves? Apologies to those not on FB. I couldn't find this video on YouTube.
  13. Queue hoarding runs on ammo in 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . .
  14. Bass Pro Shops: Bringing you Wal-Mart quality at REI prices since 1971.
  15. Don't worry. The great service and selection you're used to at Cabela's will soon be replaced with 85% Redhead products priced like North Face products, with the occasional rare sighting of an indifferent person with a name tag who kind of works there.
  16. Or even better: >"Why were you carrying a pistol to the mailbox?" <"None of your business." >"OK. Carry on."
  17. If your zucchini vines turned soft and kind of gooey, it was probably a virus introduced by cucumber beetles or squash bugs. I have yet to find an effective solution for them besides the really toxic stuff that I don't want to put on my garden. Neem oil doesn't work, diatomaceous earth doesn't work. I think the trick with them is to plant so much of it that even when you lose some, the others produce so much that you don't care about that dead loss. The same goes for melons and pumpkins. I pretty much stuck to herbs, peppers, and tomatoes this past year. They all did great. Leafy greens like kale, lettuces, spinach, and arugula all do well for me too, but I wasn't eating enough of them to justify the space in my garden.
  18. Oh, I don't know... How I Met Your Mother's finale was right there at the top of the Worst Ever list too.
  19. I read that Rose and the casino world were added to appeal to the Chinese audience.
  20. wow....Arise, Zombie Thread!
  21. It better do a whole lot more than that.
  22. No doubt, since Ep. V is widely held to be the best of them all. I agree with you about Ep III having one of the best and most important parts of the overall story. I just hated the movie production of all three prequels. Bad acting, bad scripts, and bad CGI, but all with good storie (except the midichlorian crap). Even Jar Jar could have been useful if used sparingly and wasn't written so idiotic. If Lucas could have just overseen the story arc and then gotten out of his own way, they could have been great. He's apparently pretty good at making a cohesive story arc as shown in the originals. Each one builds on what the prior one starts, and so do I-III. With Ep VII and VIII, it feels like Disney has nobody helming the cohesion of the story arc. Everything we were fed by Abrams in VII as plot points to be further developed later got thrown away by Johnson in VIII as irrelevant. Maybe Ep IX will fit it all together.....
