the people calling the guy an idiot for having a round loaded in the chamber are idiots. so when the guy needs his gun because his life is in danger, is he going to stop the criminal and ask if he'll wait to let him chamber a round before attacking? if you carry a gun for protection, it has to be ready instantly. you may not have time to chamber a round.

Sounds fishy. From what I gathered from all of you "experts" it's not likely his gun would've gone off from a 3 foot drop. Maybe he was going to rob the place and accidentally fired off a round into the toilet. I hope he flushed first, because that mess would've been yucky...

Wow! This mental midget cooked up QUITE the "story" to tell the POleece how he
came to kill the commode.
I for one do not believe his "story". Having worn
a handgun professionally for many years, and having driven a patrol car for same
amopunt of time, I KNOW that he pulled the trigger. I've told hundreds of felons
to "drop the gun" they did and NONE "accidentally went off". If they had, then I
would hold a record for the most Felons shot.(so would a lot of other peace
I'm "guessing" he cheaped out on spending on a holster(if he even
HAD a holster), and when he dropped "trou" the "Ka-boom" happened. This is a
case of negligence not accidental "mishandling. I for one think his carry permit
should be withheld from him for awhile, so he can re-visit appropriate firearms
handling procedures.
Again, in my professional experience in another state
far larger in population than Utah, I've had hundreds of felons intentionally
drop their loaded pistols and revolvers and NOT ONE "went off".
Charley-the-Commode-Killer had better learn how to handle his pistol, next
time he might give himself a radical vasectomy.

The guy probably tried to catch the gun as it was falling and pulled the trigger. There's no way it would go off by striking the ground.

There should be no such thing as a concealed weapons permit. Carrying a
concealed firearm needs to be a one-way ticket to jail.
On the other
hand, I do think that since firearms are legal and keeping and carrying is
constitutionally protected, anyone who carries one in public should do so FULLY
TRAINED, with a permit, and with the weapon visible.
If anybody
besides law enforcement is going to be allowed to carry guns, I'd rather *know*
who has one than have a bunch of people running around with weapons hidden in
their pants and purses.

Against concealed carrying.
Well, I hope you are never in a situation
where you wished you had a gun to protect your loved ones from a crazed killer,
or a mad dog. Who knows what the future may bring. Our world is not as safe as
you may think. If a gun is handled properly than it can be a good thing. You
need to get over your personal fear. Perhaps take a gun class. Learn the safety
side of owning a gun. Don't make judgments of one person who had an accident.

I thought they were fairly well established as henchmen, pirates, and mercenaries.
Not to mention they always fire first if they see you.
There were quite a few situations in UC 1 where you get to shoot first. It's to your detriment not to as well. One less random bullet sponge.

klemming wrote:A problem with the Uncharted games in general is that there's a right way to do areas and a wrong way.
Do it right, and it's relatively easy. The game flows, combat works, and things get really cinematic.
Do it wrong, and fights become harder, and for many sequences, it's like watching the actions scenes from films, including all the failed takes.
I think 2 dealt with this best of the three, but still frustrating when you got things wrong.
Most of the time, when the helicopter was chasing you it was clear where to go. But if you tried to run for it when the game wanted you to take cover, bang. Black and white screen, do it over. Try to run when you're supposed to stay and fight, instant death (one time I snuck past the guys looking for me in the snow. Trying to climb out of there, a shotgun guy spawned right behind me and shot me dead)
Most of the fights could be stealthed, but failing to deal with them in the right order got you spotted, and then you were onto the massive number of spawning reinforcements that happened in all the games.
The difference in 2 was that the enemies were soldiers. It would make sense that they'd have reinforcements in the area, and they'd converge on you when a fight broke out. (It also made sense that they could take half a clip to the chest without dying). A bunch of guys in t-shirts or suits just didn't feel right, considering what they were doing.

[ Member listing ]22 Nov · Sun 2009We finally have a front-end loader
We are thankful to report that we finally have a front-end loader on one of our tractors. As is the case with most of our equipment, the tractor was purchased about 40 years ago, but we have never had a loader. To make a long story short, we found a good deal on a used one that would fit and got it mounted and working with very little trouble by our standards. The method we have been using for handling silage has been effective but slow, and having this loader will make that chore much more efficient, not to mention the other uses for it that will inevitably appear. We have also made the decision to have 3 more hogs processed into sausage the week after Thanksgiving. We are going to give a lot away as Christmas presents to our friends and we will have some for sale, also. As Thanksgiving approaches and we look back on 2009, we can come to no other conclusion than that it has been a good year and the stage is set for a good 2010. We are looking forward to new ventures and projects in the for the rest of 2009 and into the new year, and we hope that the future continues to be bright for us and all of the other farmers out there.

Lyric Jones - Gotta Go
Artist: Lyric Jones
Producer: Raydar Ellis
Album: Jones St.
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 8 votes )
Making her DJBooth debut, Atlanta representer Lyric Jones gives us a proper introduction and then decides that she's Gotta Go with ATL running mates/DJBooth veterans, Aleon Craft and Playboy Tre. The second single off of her upcoming LP, Jones St., Gotta Go features a Raydar Ellis-produced beat and a soulful hook that gives the song a very slow, southern feel. Lyrically, all of the emcees work very well together, come correct on the mic and go hard over the mellow beat, but it is Jones takes center stage, showing that she can rap alongside anyone with lines like, "Takin' a whoop down memory lane, play the game but I never keep the story the same." Gotta Go gives us a good taste of what to expect from Lyric Jones' forthcoming Jones St. LP, which is set to drop on September 23.

Try to find a pair of linen black pants or a pair that have a "silky" feel to them, that way they are cooling. The problem with 3/4 pants is they stop at the widest part of the calf, I don't mind some 3/4 pants but you have to pay a lot of attention to the proportions of the outfit #21Posted 07 December 2012 - 08:37 PM

(I am so middle aged). What should women wear instead in hot weather (where they are going to be bending over picking up toddlers etc? 3/4 pants are unflattering and aging. I'm 44 and have short legs. During summer I fitted (but not too tight) capri pants (ending just below the knee cap). Much more flattering and they give a longer leg line. You can buy them in fabric or denim. Katies have a range which flatten your tummy too. The only time 3/4 pants are flattering is if they are fitted (like skinny jeans but ending mid calf). And FTR i'm not skinny - i'm size 12-14. #23Posted 07 December 2012 - 08:39 PM
It will be a cold day in hell before I ever give up MY 3/4 length trousers !!
OP - I am short and plus size. What suits me will probably not suit you. What do you like wearing ?? I like 3/4 length pants because the regular length ones are too long for me. I like nice tops - I don't really wear dresses because they don't suit me. Try lots of different stuff on and be honest when you ask yourself "does is suit me". I - for one - am not buying coloured jeans this season - even though every other person / man / woman / teenager and small child seems to have them. Short, chunky legs like mine do not suit them.

Ahhh, my calves aren't a problem, so I'll stick with my 3/4 pants. I have some long linen pants too, which while comfortable are sometimes too casual. I have long silk pants as well but they are strictly for when there is no toddler in sight.
I'd like to know how a 'mum' dresses too. A dag is a dag no matter the age. I have always been a minimalist with accessories and make up. You just need to work out your own style. Not everything will suit everyone. The trick is to find what suits YOU. #25Posted 07 December 2012 - 08:50 PM
I recently saw a photo of myself in 3/4 pants and decided that I am NEVER wearing them again.
Some alternatives in summer - mid-thigh or knee-length shorts with sandals, skirts and dresses, loose leg pants in linen or thin cotton. Printed pants are quite in at the moment but they don't work if you have big hips and a tummy. Normal jeans or coloured jeans with turned up cuffs are more flattering than 3/4 pants too. 0 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 0 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Not all LaRue County teachers like the district's early release policy.
This school year, students are being released at 1:30 p.m. (1:15 p.m. for elementary students) to provide more planning and training time to teachers. Early surveys indicated support from teachers and parents for the practice but the gap appears to be narrowing.
At last Tuesday's school board meeting, the results of a new parent-teacher survey were announced.

HollyWooWoo Report Jnaury 21st 2015 Happy HumpDay! Hope you are off to a wonderful Wednesday. In Hollywood - here's what's happening:
The New Kids on the Block are going on tour! You read that right ... NKOTB is going on tour. WOO HOO!! FlashBack to the 90s. Joey Mac was my boy. The tour will also include TLC and Nelly. Love it!

No details have been released ... other than it will be filmed in LA & comedians will roast Justin about the egging incident, his romance with Selena Gomez and his controversial Calvin Klein ads.
During the President's State of the Union address last night (I was watching 'Shark Tank' - sorry POTUS) the 1st Lady wore a gorrrrgeous Michael Kors suit. It was like black and white & totally stylish! Well one watcher realized the same suit was worn by actress Julianna Marguilles on the TV show 'The Good Wife". Michelle has really good taste! The suit retails for around $1000. And finally - the BIG news everyone will be talking about at work today isn't HollyWood News, but it does involve a handsome quarterback with HollyWood Hair. I'm talking about Tom Brady & #DeflateGate. The NFL confirmed the Patriots played with deflated balls last week. No word from the Patriots. No word on what the fine will be. No comment from Brady...but who knew? Giselle likes deflated balls. HA! Have a great day! WooWoo

I am looking for info on my great grandfather, John Woodson Barnett, born 7/22/1858 in KY, died 1938 in Robert Lee,Coke County, Texas. Married Exer V. Murray on 8/5/1897. I believe he was a school teacher before going to Texas. In Tx, he met his wife, Exer Murray, who was the daughter of the sheriff, Lochlin B. Murray. J.W. Barnett became a deputy, county clerk, district clerk. He also raised sheep. His children were William L, b 1901, Verna, Lois L., born 1911 (my grandmother), and I believe another child who died young. No other info at this time. Would greatly appreciate any info someone can share. Thank you. |

Handle bar choice: odd issue in the drops.
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
Ok, so excuse this if its a bit of a daft question....
I've had a few road rides on the litespeed, played around with saddle rail length, and bar height and finally got comfortable on the hoods.
i'm finding that when i use the drops, my knees overlap my elbows quite alot, i'm starting to think that the drops i've got are a bit deep, they're a ritchey ergo bar.
Any opinions on bar position from what i've described? i know it may be a bit difficult without actually seeing me on the bike!
you might want to try something that's wider, or flares out to give you more cockpit room. i use salsa bell lap CX bars on my road bike, and can't recommend them enough

I'm using 42s at the moment, i'm not that broad in the shoulder but have really long arms. I'm about 5ft 11,would running 44s help? the bars aren't anything special, just something i got free from work.
posted by litespeeddavemira [26 posts]
12th September 2010 - 22:49
44's will only give you an extra cm on each side, so unless you are only just clipping your elbows you might need more room. The flared bars could be a good option,
Other things that could help would be a bit more length in the stem or reach in the bars, a shallower drop bar, or just rotating the bars a bit to push the drops forward. You may have to play around with the position of the brake levers on the hoods to get them back in the right place though.
Oh, the never ending fun of tweaking your position on the bike.

23rd September 2010 - 9:41
But otherwise it is quite normal for elbows and knees to overlap, as seen from the side of the bike, isn't it?
two wheels good; four wheels bad

is it? to be honest i don't think i am enjoying the shape of the ergo bar, i'm going to get something with a more traditional drop.
being a bit new to road riding i wasn't sure if the overlap was normal. My knees don't actually come into contact with my elbows that i've noticed so i don't think wider solves the issue.
Only other thing i've done is move my saddle back on its rails and dropped the bars another 10mm

Hall of Fame No 6... Ayrton Senna: Master of the track who lived life on the edge and whose shadow still hangs over F1
A brass plaque two feet by three marks the resting place of motor racing's most revered mystic. It reads: 'Ayrton Senna da Silva 21.3.1960 - 1.5.94. Nada pode me separar do amor de Deus'.
Translated: nothing can separate me from the love of God.
Nor from the affection of his people. For when Senna, 34 years old and still at the height of his fame and the peak of his talent, died on that melancholic afternoon at Imola, his countrymen in Brazil grieved on a scale never before engendered by a sportsman. On a little kart track back in England, young Lewis Hamilton hid himself behind his dad's car and cried.
Star of the show: Ayrton Senna was the icon of F1 - and his legacy remains today
Speed sensation: Senna practises in his McLaren before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone
Leading the way: Senna celebrates finishing ahead of Nigel Mansell at the 1992 Monaco Grand Prix
Sportsmail's Hall of Fame
Senna stopped a nation. President Itamar Franco ordered three days of national mourning. So when Senna's body returned to his home city, the sprawl of Sao Paulo, people lined the route from Guaralhos airport to the centre of town.
They crammed on bridges and pavements, followed on bikes, cars and trucks, looked on from the windows of slum dwellings and through the security gates of posh houses.
So long was the queue of those who wished to pay him respect as he lay in the July 9 Palace – three miles or more by some accounts – that it took seven hours for the people at the back to reach the mahogany cask carrying their hero, a man who was a certain inspiration in a land where material improvement was often just a flickering hope.
By the time he had completed his final, slow journey to his hilly green burial plot in Morumbi Cemetery, three million mourners had turned out to honour him and tens of millions more had watched on their television sets. Just as they had the previous Sunday when Senna died at Imola's Tamburello curve in the San Marino Grand Prix that he was leading on the seventh and fateful lap.
Undoubtedly, his legend has been burnished by his dying young. It has also been preserved by the happy fact that in the near 20 years since that weekend, which claimed the life of Roland Ratzenberger the day before, no Formula One driver has perished at the wheel of his car.
Rivals: Alain Prost and Senna, pictured here in 1989, were the ultimate competitors in F1
Tussle: Senna, Prost, Mansell and Nelson Piquet pose for a picture before the 1986 Portuguese Grand Prix
Together: World champion Senna and his McLaren team-mate pose with the team before the Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide in 1988
Senna's stats
Born: March 21, 1960 (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
Died: May 1, 1994 (aged 34)
F1 titles: 3 - 1988, 1990, 1991
Career wins: 41
Pole Positions: 65
Teams: Toleman, Lotus, McLaren, Williams
But, of course, Senna's soaring reputation is not based on his mortality alone. No, he will be remembered along with a golden handful – perhaps led by Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark and Michael Schumacher – as a motor racing driver who entirely mastered his art.
On track, he was totally and ruthlessly dedicated to the pursuit of winning. He had a mature appreciation of race craft, a capability to show immense self-control at moments of maximum stress, an intuitive feel for the mechanics of his car and a smooth driving style that could yet give way to a robust rawness when circumstance demanded.
Even his sharp-elbowed excesses, for example expecting rivals to show him deference on the track as if he were pre-ordained to triumph, added to his mystique. And mystique it was that lay behind those dark brown eyes under that dark brown hair. He seemed at times to be inhabiting a loftier plane than the mere mortals he spoke to.
Home hero: Senna waves his country's flag after winning the Brazil Grand Prix in 1993
Lightning: Senna races his Lotus during the 1987 campaign
Reign in the rain: Senna acknowledges the crowd after winning the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix
Early days: Senna steers his Toleman car around the streets of Monte Carlo in 1984
When he collided with his McLaren team-mate Alain Prost at Suzuka in 1990, he shrugged off questions about the probity of his driving with the haughty words: 'I am Senna.'
It was said that if Formula One cars had number plates, his would have read: 'EGO 1'.
His on-track commitment was matched by his political shrewdness off it. Like Fangio, he realised the absolute truth that his talent would be almost worthless if it was not being deployed in one of, if not the, best car.
So, as Fangio did, Senna moved from team to team, from Toleman to Lotus to McLaren to Williams.
Two champions: Senna with British former F1 star James Hunt (right) in 1991
All smiles: Senna with girlfriend Adriane Galisteu, a Hungarian Brazilian model at Silverstone in July 1993
His journey along the paddock bore three world titles, 41 wins and 65 poles. There is every likelihood that he would have won a title or two more in the ensuing years. For even if the demands of modern Formula One meant drivers had to be fitter and younger than in Fangio's day, at 34 he may well have had three or four more seasons at the very pinnacle.
Another reason we celebrate Senna so vividly is because of his rivalry with Prost, the professorial yet cunning little Frenchman. With journalists clustered around at a race weekend they would wage subtle, and sometimes less than subtle, psychological war against each other. And, as in the title-deciders at Suzuka in Japan in 1989 and 1990, their animosity would manifest itself with on the track with collisions.
On the first occasion, Prost turned in on Senna, though the Brazilian was disqualified for rejoining the race illegally.
Solemn: (from left) Nigel Mansell, Jean Alesi, Heinz-Harald
Frentzen, Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill and Aguri Suzuki observe a

'Goodbye Champion': Brazillian fans lead the tributes to Senna after his tragic death in 1994
National hero: Tens of thousands lined the streets of Sao Paulo for Senna's funeral cortege
On the second, Senna refused to give ground at the first corner, having ludicrously been denied the clean side of the track, despite starting on pole, by the FIA president Jean-Marie Balestre, a dictatorial contrarian with whom Senna regularly sparred.
It was inevitable the Senna-Prost 'partnership' at McLaren could not last more than the two years that it did. Prost told the Press at Senna's funeral that they had kissed and made up, but not everyone took that entirely at face value.
Although there was great sadness at Senna's death – which was brought about, it was determined after a 13-year investigation, by a faulty steering column on his Williams – there could be no doubt that he knew the risks and totally accepted them.
'Just because I believe in God,' said Senna, a devout Catholic, 'doesn't mean that I'm immortal.'
It seems to me that Ayrton Senna's death at Tamburello, wrapped in tragedy though it was, was a fitting end for a man who lived his life on the edge.

Seeking Alpha Book Club 16 comments
Welcome to the Seeking Alpha Book Club. We read The Outsiders this past month and will discuss it this month.
"Who is the greatest CEO of the last 50 years?" the author writes in the beginning of the preface to The Outsiders. Let's begin there. Who is the greatest CEO of the last 50 years? One of the eight identified in this book or someone else? Any examples that fit Thorndike's criteria that he left out?
Do any of the remaining companies profiled - BRK.A/BRK.B, GD, WPO, or TDY still have the virtues described in the book?
Was this book practically useful? Was it inspiring?
Focusing specifically on the Outsider's Checklist (pages 218-220 in my copy), which questions do you use?
What questions would you like to ask the author?
(Please answer these questions or ask your own in the comments below)

One thing the book opened my eyes to was the effective usage of debt as leverage. I am very frugal and very conservative financially. I have zero debt and owe no one a dime. Often when researching companies I see debt on a balance sheet and it is a negative to me.
Hi Toddro, I would tend to agree with you. I also love to see a clean Balance Sheet. The CEO's in the Outsiders had the luxury of consistent cash flows. That being said, they certainly found themselves in situations where they were concerned. Their main strength was they were adaptable and did not allow preconceived ideas or conventional wisdom to lead them astray. Also good observation on General Cinema. I thought the same thing. I think they went to the well perhaps once to often, but it easy to criticize in hindsight. All in all, they are still a good case study. Using debt wisely, is a practice few do well over long periods of time. I would like to hear Chris's opinion on General Cinema.
One interesting difference between personal and corporate debt (and government debt, though that's a separate discussion) is that corporate debt does not necessarily have to be repaid. For big, large-moat, financially strong companies that generate good cash flow (ex. Coke), borrowing money usually tends to be pretty cheap. Obviously, it's extremely cheap right now, but even in normalized interest rate environments, it's not extraordinarily expensive. So if a company like this can borrow at say 7-8% and invest it at 10-15%/yr, they're generating value for shareholders. When the debt comes due, they can simply refinance it, and all they ever really pay on it is the interest. It becomes a permanent part of their capital structure. Especially with long-term interest rates so depressed right now, you're paying in nominal dollars for investments that will hopefully return inflation-indexed dollars. What's not to like?
A potential loophole for individual investors:
Another observation from this book: many investors look for companies with constant earnings or constant earnings growth. With this type of company you won't find it, earnings growth is lumpy.
Chris, did you consider adding POST to the list? I know it's a different company, but the CEO remains the same.
Entirely related to the book and somewhat related to your proposed questions, here is a collection of assorted thoughts that may or may not be helpful/useful/interes...
2) Formulas are only vague. The Outsider checklist is quite useful, and undoubtedly something to consider. However, you'll notice that even within the group, their approaches to certain fundamental issues (dividends, buybacks, M&A, etc) varied to a fairly significant degree. Similar to the thesis expressed above, my takeaway is that history can be instructive, but strategies need to be shaped for the situation. The only universal truth is that capital allocation is important and that investments (and by proxy divestitures) should be made to maximize risk-adjusted return (although this is easier to justify ex ante than ex post facto, as you can generate quite a high IRR by tweaking assumptions in your favor).
If everyone follows the same investment strategy does that negate that strategy? There has been a ton of talk about The Outsiders yet very little about the ramifications. In this bull market, investors are buying high quality companies, regardless of valuation.
Hi Joshua, you have a valid point. Price is always important. However, I don't believe the book is advocating finding a CEO who has the uncanny ability to allocate capital and for anyone to buy his or hers company stock at any price (at least that wasn't my take). I think you should use patience as you should or would with any investment. That is what the Outsiders do as well. So, I would advocate following CEO's who you believe have these innate abilities and buy if and when the price makes sense invest. The trick will be to find the CEO's who have these traits and also stick with them long term. It's not as easy as it may sound, but I'm sure you're aware of that. I also don't believe it's a strategy most will follow because most people who call themselves investors are really traders. But of course, I could be wrong. P.S. Schultz is a good recommendation for a future Outsider. Do you think the track record is long enough yet for him to be considered? Does he allocate capital well enough? It wasn't that long ago when he was closing stores and the stock was below $10. I like Starbucks (the coffee and cafe's) but not the stock.
And therefore I don't invest in Transdigm yet, see page 35. The stock is too expensive.
Interesting point on MFC. I agree that Smith should probably not be Chairman, CEO and CFO. That is too much responsibility. I have been studying them for a few months and I think there is a lot of value to be unlocked there. The stock currently trades at a significant value to its TBV, with a nice portion cash/share and little debt. This may be a good "in" point on that stock...

"The design of the card made it look delicate and sweet. It was really easy to modify the copy as needed. Paper quality with Tiny Prints never lets me down."
"We ordered the card with the silver envelopes and special cut - it looks absolutely great. We received lots of compliments on it from our guests. We've been using Tiny Prints for 8 years now - starting with the Birth Announcements of our oldest who is now going through 1st Reconciliation. For 8 straight years, over and over again, Tiny Prints has been consistent. Earning 5 stars with our family every time."

Finally Decided to Continue This Cosplay~ (Posted 8th February 2012) I wanted to do this cosplay a while ago, after I watched the Black Rock Shooter OVA but I decided not to. I have now changed my mind because it's simple and I'm now obsessed with the Black Rock Shooter TV anime. So all I've done so far is sewn the ribbon onto the dress. I also have the leggings and I'm borrowing the shoes from my mom. Currently saving up for the wig and I need to start making the wings and horns. |
