Exactly Boy am I gonna be a MOFO as a little old man

I saw that photo published and knew it was countermeasures, regardless of the claims. If those were even photoshopped beyond detetction I would like to point out that the plane is outrunning the missiles as they are delivered...hmmm huh?

GARMIN GPSMAP496 Has XM satellite weather, terrain, obstacle database, taxi diagrams of some 700 airports, and XM radio built-in. Only $2995.00 Is that what youre giving everyone at the SDC Christmas party?

I was suprised that they werent more espensive they looked great and for leather you cant beat the price on a quality rig. I am sure you also have seen nice holsters for far too much money as well, and then to find it wasn't quite what you wanted. wooh yeah there are few expensive ones on that site, but they are probably worth it unfortunately the one I liked was 129 bucks

I was speaking of inexpensive. I understand where youre coming from but alot of people arent going to carry every day. I meant ankle holster in reference to a backup pistol to save your life not as a first resort by any means.

Now I'm trying to hold out for a holster LOL! Uncle mikes are comfortable and have that handy extra mag pouch, they can go on a web belt, regular belt, or mount reversed also will stay put on a waistband. concealed rigs are nice as well, fanny pack, ankle holster, or higher if you wear skirts. Also 5.11 pants or shirts kick ass...I wonder if they make it in a skirt for the ladies?

Damn is he giving discounts to "friends"

YES!!!!

I am a surveyor and I think both the Garmin and Magellan have great features. I think there are a few MUSTS Digital compass that works accuratlely when motionless Color is damned nice for Driving an Altimeter to negate the inaccuracy of the elevation given from your 3d fix MEMORY!!! Power cable so your batteries don't go dead on a long driving trip

Starbucks is awful

I read about the malfunction and my first thought was... CHING! I do not think after the first part of the problems I would have contemplated it any further. At least I hope I would cut away and choose a reserve ride.

QuoteThose two shitheads are nothing compared to that tick-turd of employee who brought that laptop home illegally in the first place. Agreed that guy needs percussion tuning for sure.

What handgun do you have for carry or are you buying something new?

In a further development of the hostilities in the Israeli and Hezb'allah forces.*** Iran Plans to Expand Nuclear Activities By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer 4 hours ago TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's top nuclear negotiator said Sunday that Iran will expand uranium enrichment, in defiance of a U.N. Security Council resolution giving the Islamic Republic until Aug. 31 to halt the activity or face the threat of political and economic sanctions. Ali Larijani called the U.N. Security Council resolution issued last week illegal and said Iran won't respect the deadline. "We reject this resolution," he told reporters. "We will expand nuclear activities where required. It includes all nuclear technology including the string of centrifuges," Larijani said, referring to the centrifuges Iran uses to enrich uranium. He said Iran had not violated any of its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty, and that the U.N. had no right to require it suspend enrichment. "We won't accept suspension," he said. Larijani said the Security Council resolution contradicted a package of Western incentives offered in June to persuade Tehran to suspend its enrichment activities. He reiterated that Iran would formally respond to the incentives package on Aug. 22. Iran has said it will never give up its right to produce nuclear fuel, but has indicated it may suspend large-scale activities to ease tensions with the West. Larijani said the world should blame the United States and its allies for acting against their proposed package and seeking to deny Iran its rights under the NPT. The United States has accused Iran of seeking nuclear weapons. Tehran maintains its program is peaceful and intended to generate electricity. In February, Iran for the first time produced a batch of low-enriched uranium, using a cascade of 164 centrifuges. The process of uranium enrichment can be used to generate electricity or to create an atomic weapon, depending on the level of enrichment. Iran said it plans to install 3,000 centrifuges at its enrichment plant in Natanz, central Iran, by the end of the year. Industrial production of enriched uranium in Natanz would require 54,000 centrifuges. Hard-liners within Iran's ruling Islamic establishment have called on the government to withdraw from the NPT in response to the U.N. resolution, but the government has not heeded the call. Withdrawal from the treaty could end all international oversight of Iran's nuclear program. Coincidence? I don't think so!

Hezbollah Rockets Kill 10 in N. Israel By JOSEPH PANOSSIAN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour ago An Israeli soldier, wounded in a rocket attack by ... BEIRUT, Lebanon - Hezbollah guerrillas unleashed their deadliest barrage of rockets yet into northern Israel, killing 10 people, while Israeli bombardment killed 17 people in southern Lebanon as fighting only intensified Sunday despite a draft U.N. cease-fire resolution. Hezbollah and its allies rejected the U.S.-French text, saying its terms for a halt in fighting do not address Lebanon's demands _ in a signal that the nearly 4-week-old battle will burn on. Later on Sunday, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem called a U.S.-French cease-fire plan "a recipe for the continuation of the war" and he warned his armed forces were under orders to respond immediately if Israel attacks. Both Israel and Hezbollah appeared to be aiming to inflict maximum mutual damage in the few days before the resolution is expected to be voted on by the U.N. Security Council. Hezbollah fired a volley of 80 rockets at several Israeli towns, with one of them making a direct hit on a crowd of people at the entrance of the communal farm of Kfar Giladi. Ten people were killed, rescue workers said _ the highest toll from a rocket attack since the conflict began on July 12. Israel's Channel Two television reported that nine of those killed were reserve soldiers. A forest burst into flames from the 15-minute barrage and huge plumes of gray smoke rose into the air. Other rockets hit the nearby town of Kiryat Shemona, damaging a synagogue. When word of the rocket strike reached the Israeli Cabinet during its weekly meeting, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said: "Lucky that we are dealing with Hezbollah today, and not in another two or three years," according to a participant in the meeting. In southern Lebanon, dozens of Israeli strikes hit communities and roads, with some villages bombed continually for half an hour, security officials said. Ground fighting also raged along a stretch of territory on the southern Lebanese border that the Israeli army has invaded. A Hezbollah rocket blast also injured three Chinese peacekeepers on Sunday, the Chinese state media reported, citing a Chinese officer. The report not specify where the attack occurred or whether the peacekeepers had been hospitalized. The attack came hours after China's Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing told U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan in a telephone conversation that the world body should take tangible measures to ensure the security of U.N. peacekeepers, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. The U.S.-French agreement on a resolution calling for "a full cessation of hostilities" marked a significant advance after weeks of stalled diplomacy aimed at ending the conflict. But getting the two sides _ particularly Hezbollah _ to sign on will likely require a greater push. Israel has said it won't halt its offensive until Hezbollah rockets are silenced. The plan also envisions a second resolution in a week or two that would authorize an international military force for the Israel-Lebanon frontier and the creation of a large buffer zone in southern Lebanon, monitored by the Lebanese army and international peacekeepers. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stressed the draft resolution was aimed at stopping the large-scale violence to allow a focus on the underlying problems in the conflict. "It's the first step, not the only step," she said at a news conference in Washington. Lebanon's parliament speaker, who represents the Shiite Islamic militant group in negotiations, said the draft resolution was unacceptable since it would leave Israeli troops in Lebanon and does not deal with Beirut's key demands _ a release of prisoners held by Israel and moves to resolve a dispute over a piece of border territory. "If Israel has not won the war but still gets all this, what would have happened had they won?" Nabih Berri said. "Lebanon, all of Lebanon, rejects any talks and any draft resolution" that do not address the Lebanese demands, he said. The Lebanese government said Saturday that it objects to portions of the draft resolution and demanded some amendments, but an aide to Prime Minister Fuad Saniora said that did not mean a flat rejection. Hezbollah's two key allies, Iran and Syria, also rejected the resolution _ suggesting they back a continued fight by the guerrillas. "The United States, which has been supporting the Zionist regime until today, has no right to enter the crisis as a mediator," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a phone conversation with Syrian President Bashar Assad. Assad said the presence of international forces with extensive power in Lebanon would cause anarchy in the country, according to a report on Ahmadinejad's official Web site. The Syrian foreign minister made a surprise visit to Beirut to meet with Syria's top allies in Lebanon _ Berri and President Emile Lahoud. Deployment of an international force in south Lebanon to rein in Hezbollah guerrillas is a central cornerstone of U.S.-led Western efforts for a long-term peace. Six members of the Lebanese military were killed in two Israeli airstrikes. Missiles also flattened a house in the village of Ansar, near the southern market town of Nabatiyeh, killing a man and four of his relatives, Lebanese security officials said. Another strike overnight killed three people in al-Jibbain, a village nearly three miles from the Israeli border, civil defense officials said. A rocket fired by a pilotless aircraft blasted a van carrying bread near Tyre, killing its driver, said Salam Daher, a civil defense official in the southern port city. Another person was killed in the town of Naqoura, near the border on the Mediterranean coast. In Naqoura and several villages near Tyre, residents called rescue officials to report more people trapped under the rubble of crushed buildings, but crews could not retrieve the dead because of continued bombardment. "We don't know how many and we can't get there," Daher said. Israel also bombed two camps of a Palestinian militant group in Lebanon, the Syrian-backed Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command. The group reported one person killed in the attack. Hezbollah's long-range missile launchers are in the areas of Tyre and Sidon, but there was no indication the raging air assault of the last 24 hours has significantly eroded the group's capabilities to hit deep into Israel, said Ryszard Morczynski, a U.N. peacekeeping official in Naqoura. Arab foreign ministers were due to gather in Beirut for a crucial meeting on Monday that could see a stormy debate over the draft U.N. resolution. For Hezbollah, the resolution would be a tough pill to swallow, particularly language calling for the "unconditional release" of two Israeli soldiers captured by the guerrillas in a cross-border raid July 12. The abduction prompted the Israeli onslaught in Lebanon. The Israeli army announced Sunday that it had arrested one of the Hezbollah guerrillas involved in the initial raid, in which the two soldiers were captured. So far, at least 591 people have died in the fighting in Lebanon including 507 civilians, 34 members of the army and 50 guerrillas aknowledged dead by Hezbollah. The Israeli military says it has killed more than 400 Hezbollah guerrillas since the fighting began. Eighty-nine Israelis have died, including at least 33 civilians killed by Hezbollah rockets. ____ Associated Press writer Aron Heller contributed to this report from Kfar Giladi, Israel.

Gun-Toting Granny Still Firing at Age 82 By Associated Press Fri Aug 4, 8:22 PM JANESVILLE, Wis. - Not even triple-bypass surgery has kept Rita Roherty from the shotgun shooting that has been her life's passion. The 82-year-old great-grandmother underwent surgery last year, and then recovered to win a bronze medal in the women's shooting division of the Badger State Games in June. She hit 91 of 100 clay pigeons to take third place in the competition, three years after winning the gold. "When a gun fits you, it don't kick," she said of her pet Browning Lightning 12-gauge over-under shotgun. Roherty, born Rita McAuliffe in 1923, had 14 children in 28 years of marriage before her husband, Donald Glynn, died. Then she met George Roherty, who took her trap shooting on the couple's first date in 1973. "It was a very good couples thing to do," she said. She says she shoots because she likes competing. When she won her gold medal in shooting, she hit enough clay pigeons to tie a woman half her age, then won in a shoot-off by hitting all 10 pigeons, she recalled. She said she intends to keep shooting as long as she can still hold the gun, and she'll take on men as well as women. But be forewarned _ Roherty admits she sometimes can't resist asking competitors, "You let an old lady beat you?"

This photo made available by the Montgomery County, Md. police shows Jesus Alex Pineda, 19 2 Teens Accused in Theft of VA Computer Sunday, August 6, 2006 2:02 AM EDT The Associated Press By BRIAN WESTLEY Listen to Audio WASHINGTON (AP) — Two teenagers were arrested Saturday in the theft of a laptop and hard drive containing sensitive data on up to 26.5 million veterans and military personnel, authorities said. The equipment was stolen May 3 during a burglary at the Maryland home of a Veterans Affairs employee. The laptop and hard drive were turned into the FBI June 28 by an unidentified person in response to a $50,000 reward offer. The equipment contained the names, Social Security numbers and birth dates of veterans discharged since 1975, in what was the worst-ever breach of government data. Jesus Alex Pineda, 19, and Christian Brian Montano, 19, both of Rockville, Md., were arrested early Saturday, Montgomery County police said. Pineda was charged with first-degree burglary and theft over $500. Montano was charged with first-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit first-degree burglary, theft over $500, and conspiracy to commit theft over $500. Police said charges were pending against a third male suspect who is a juvenile. "I commend the FBI, Montgomery County Police, VA's Office of Inspector General and other law enforcement agencies for their professionalism and diligence throughout this investigation," Secretary of Veterans Affairs R. James Nicholson said in a statement. "Today's announcement that arrests have been made is good news." Authorities said the suspects did not specifically target the VA employee's home in Aspen Hill, Md., and did not realize the hard drive contained veterans' information until the case was publicized. Police did not have any information about attorneys for the suspects. A bond hearing could be held Monday at the earliest, officials said. The VA announced last month that the FBI has determined with a high degree of confidence that the files were not compromised. "While this arrest is good news, we were lucky that the data belonging to veterans was not accessed and misused," Steve Buyer, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, said in a statement. "The vulnerability is real and with the help of Congress, VA must move forward with information security reform," said Buyer, R-Ind. Congress is investigating the steps leading up to and after the theft. It also is pondering legislation to improve information security.Quote I wonder if they actually did a low level cloning of the hard drive and sold the information, if they had I do not believe that the government would tell us.

Since there are cases on record where innocence has been proven after more than 20 years, how would you deal with that inconvenience? Just tough luck on the innocent guy you killed in error? I think that people may not be railroaded if the prosecutors and cops could be found guilty and have to serve the innocent persons sentence if they are found guilty of "framing him"

not about reading more rampaging from Narcimund about homosexuality. Again, I like you. But this is getting really, really old. Ciels- Michele No Shit, I think you just voiced the opinions of many who have to put up with that tirade and have chose not to again.

I do not know what construction the entire building was made of but he may have been firing at a bullet trap of one sort or another. I think if the rounds did pass through that they may have not had much energy left if they did make it to the Israeli post. They may have even notified the Israeli's of their film making so that they would not draw fire from the post.

GHFG you have fallen into the rabbit hole now

I didn't feel slighted in the least. I believe what John said can cut both ways, and in fact, gives most of this worlds it's opinions. If he did in fact infer I was a child that was only to make himself feel a lot younger
