  1. Disclaimer, this legal update is self promotion. A Grand Jury no billed my client last week for a police shooting he was involved in. Here is a link to the original story a couple of months ago with a selection of the dash cam video showing the incident that aired on TV. The video is a bit rough, but this aired at 5, 6 and 10 on every network so I don't believe it is too bad. http://kxan.com/2016/04/18/dashcam-video-shows-caldwell-co-deputy-firing-deadly-shots/ Travis
  2. I was too late, missed my shot. From what I hear Alex can't even get one to send out for more photographs for marketing, etc. The good news is I heard that you will be able to get the turntable mats very, very soon. The anticipated cost is $450 per mat and it comes with a free turntable. Travis
  3. Very much true, plus unleaded gas came in, and you also have CA emission stds as an issue.
  4. That is so awesome. I am going to get one. Does anyone know how far you can upgrade cartridge wise on that tonearm?
  5. It is terrible and complex. You have to go to a certified elder care attorney, I would highly recommend this if you haven't done so already. Please elaborate. Seems like this would just make the money dry up even faster. Probably over your head.
  6. Yeah, I have thought of this. The car I actually end up with will likely have a modded 350. Not concerned about having a numbers matching machine. That car pictured was just for reference. Key requirements: side pipes, 4 speed manual, T-tops, rally wheels. I have a lot of time to think about this and am confident the right car will present itself LOL - YES!!! ...a little outside of my budget though, Roger. $100K+ Hadn't thought of the adverse effects of the added weight of the 454 BB. I just like the hood. Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ Do you need, want AC? LT1 is pretty rare with AC in 72, makes them pretty pricey. But they were designed for unleaded so that's a bonus.
  7. I shied away from the ZL1 and L88 as it would be in the $500,000 to 1mil range? Certainly more than a house. An LT-1 is very much in the realm of reality and one of their best small block packages, 350ci 370 hp.

  9. I would be scared to go to a place called the Pink Pony.
  10. That was indeed amazing. So nothing is real any more?
  11. Welcome to the forum, or at least posting in here. I know there are several really solid people from AR in here and I am sure that someone will be helping you out shortly. Travis
  12. Had a short break to look this up too. "On September 25, 2012, Notre Dame announced that it would exercise its option to end the rivalry [with Michigan] after the 2014 season. Michigan head coach Brady Hoke took issue with Notre Dame's decision, going so far as to say Notre Dame was "chickening out".[49] At the end of Michigan's 41–30 victory over Notre Dame on September 7, 2013, the speakers at Michigan Stadium loudly played, " The Chicken Dance ". However, on September 5, 2014, at Notre Dame Stadium, Notre Dame defeated Michigan 31–0 in the last scheduled meeting between these two schools." It's a fact, God loves Notre Dame.
  13. Nice sarcasm! I looked it up, it's a fact. "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, . . . ." It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." See right there. The North struggle back and forth, a terrible ugly battle at Gettysburg, a dedication of a burial ground by President Lincoln declaring the North to be under God, and Gettysburg becomes the turning point in the war. No other conclusion can be drawn. TRUTH
  14. Apparently not until Thanksgiving.
  15. Erudite. Mercifully brief, however. I know, I know, it was exhausting for you, searching for something resembling a thought. Perhaps you could open up one of your comic books, copy what you see using your crayon, and pretend it came from you. Do feel free to add something intelligent, even if only once in a great while. You know, just to provide the exception that proves the rule . . . . Don't forget Table 2
  16. I am extremely happy, ask anyone on here who has met me in person. I simply asked for a source that the founding fathers were a "godly people" inspired by their God to come up with the Declaration or the Constitution. If they were that should be easy to come up with. Maybe I simply misunderstood what you were trying to say. Hate was too strong of a word on my part. One should never use descriptors of human emotions in describing the action of God. Let me state it another way: God loved Abe and the North who were Godly people, the South, apparently not so much. God loves Notre Dame. I think you may be confusing God with Touchdown Jesus..... touchdown-jesus1.jpg Blasphemer!!!!!

Sarcasm, so be it (Amen)
  18. I prefer Watermelon. Do they make a watermelon popsicle premade with vodka?
  19. Karson Cookie made it, that is so awesome !!!!! Is/was he a cook and thus the moniker? I just rated this topic 5 Stars, between the positive inspiration to live in the now, and the posting of a recipe that someone actually made I thought make it one of the great ones.
  20. It was fine until someone felt the need to pontificate.

  22. Well there's your problem, you are citing Paul Johnson as authority. You don't want to discuss historical facts, you want to quote a book that relies less on historical truth than you do. You have yet to state a fact, that is the problem. You are stating your beliefs, and in support thereof inferring they are supported by historical facts. The problem is they are not based upon facts, despite what Mr. Johnson writes. It would be news to Jefferson, who didn't believe Jesus performed any miracles and didn't believe in a Trinity, that the document he was the primary author of was divinely inspired. His corrispondence about it takes the opposite view. Adams and Jefferson sent each other corrispondence that rejoyced over Virgina abolishing an official religion. GW would likewise disagree that he sought help from his Maker. He actually got his *** kicked the first few go arounds, I can suggest some great books on this if you are interested. Nice pivot from the "founders" in your initial post to the Pilgrams. What you have confused is the settlors in the 1600s were not coming to start a country, they were coming to start, or join a colony, with the King's blessing. They all considered themselves to be English right up to the time of Independence. The founders you mentioned in your original post come along 100 years after the Pilgrims you mention just above. I agree that Religion was very much an issue on why various colonies were created, one who knows history would say three key ones are Rhode Island, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. One of the items you pasted about Maryland mentions an the Church of England as the official church. I will have to check into that as Maryland is genetally understood to be a safe have for Catholics which really wouldn't mesh with the Anglican Church. The "founders" of our Country are well established, they are the signers and the framers. By the way, it wasn't in fact a history making day, July 4th as a holiday was picked out of convenience. The "unity" which inspired it? Which unity? There was neither unity in declaring independence, nor was their unity in drafting or ratifying the Constitution. I would say you are way in over your head on the history part, and the copy and paste of old laws isn't going to help you. You said it was a belief in God by the "founders" that got us independence and where we are now, yet none of the laws you have pasted have anything to do with the founders, most predate the time of seeking independence by a century. Your original premise was that America is strong because of God's influence, and it was the founders' belief in God that contributed to this result. The first part obviously isn't historical, it is a belief which well may be true, I personally hope it is. The fact that the signers and framers believed they were doing a devine act, or won because of devine providence are obviously assertions of historical. Get me a source on that and I would be happy to take a look at it, but I think you will find that the people who rely on the historical record and have written about it don't find any support for your premise. Now the Civil War, that's a whole 'nother story, God clearly liked Abe and hated the South.
