Welcome aboard.

I'm mildly lactose intolerant, which is ironic since I was born in Wisconsin of all places... raised in NJ though. Actually, once I got out of the Army, my system suddenly started rejecting a lot of foods, which is pretty disappointing. I don't know if it was the terrible, nutrient-rich foods that ruined my digestive system or all the medications/inoculations they shot me up with (or both). But, to answer the question, I can eat anything, and will try at least once... and honestly, haven't found anything I couldn't handle at all. Rocky Mountain oysters took some time to get over, but the food itself wasn't bad. Live squid, freshly cut up, still trying to stick to the plate was weird at first-- but pretty good.

The place I go locally for my cheese steaks have the same exact thing, except they call it the "Jersey Cheese steak."

Like Tiger Woods your opinion of me is worthless. Yes, I'll say it again so no mistake is made. I hope Mrs. Tiger Woods divorces him and takes all his money. So much so that the filthy whore monger commits suicide. It will serve him right. May GOD punish his wicked soul for eternity. Haha, so, apparently the sun still revolves around the Earth for you... that's "OK" though because you're right. I don't know you personally, and that gives me no right to judge you. On the other hand, I could say you're senile, out of date, and a lost soul... but according to your philosophy, that's for my satisfaction to say, no matter how deep of a chord it might strike with you. I can accept that though. I know there are people like you in this world, and, fortunately, you have no power except over the 3-ft domain that constantly surrounds you.

So, you wish death upon someone you don't even know and has done no harm to you or your own? I'm beginning to question your sanity and/or whether or not you should even be a gun owner.

Are you serious, Mauser? That's some pretty hateful stuff you're saying. Unless you know the guy, and he f****d you out of some money or a female, why would you even care? The guy will probably lose his marriage, roughly $300 mil in the divorce, and more in losing his sponsorships... sure, I agree that any one who looks up to any celebrity has already lost their way... but beyond all of the crap that EVERYONE thinks of him, he's just a normal person who will be losing said marriage and practically his means of supporting himself (of course I don't think he needs millions upon millions to survive, but sponsorships are what pays the bills for pro athletes, not necessarily the sport). So, um yea, I'm not defending Tiger, but that's some pretty hateful shit you said... and if that's how you still feel, just keep his name off your tongue. And yes, it really does annoy me to see people who are like this.

Welcome to the forums.

Nice topic, I've been following it since it started. I want to say I was in the same boat who thought the NJ laws dictated you couldn't carry beyond the entrances/exits to our homes.

Haha, I was a problematic child even though I was fortunate to come from a pretty good area. But hey, that's what the Army was for! It changed my life at least...

My whole perspective on the firearms issue and younger children is that while we, as more mature individuals, can accept the responsibilities and know of the possibly consequences of improper handling, these children do not. So, to me, if I see a story that has confirmed that children had the intentions and were taking the steps to facilitate violence, I think it does have to be viewed in a far more critical perspective. If a kid has spent shell-casings in their pocket or something along those lines, yea, I agree, big deal. But even for me, being as young as I am, having been out of high school for not even a decade yet... things have really changed in that social institution when I talk to children I help tutor or my brother in laws younger bro.

I always used the spit/water shine approach, and then using a lighter at the end. The spit/water and buff shine is pretty self-explanatory; it just takes a good amount of time. Afterward, very carefully use a lighter over the areas you applied polish, and it should give you that glossy look. You want to be careful or otherwise you'll just melt the polish off. I guess it would be a good idea to test it on a small part first, or another pair of shoes to get an understanding of what you're doing before applying it to your dress shoes. You can bypass the lighter part if you do enough shining/buffing, but the lighter trick is a short cut. The downfall of this shortcut is that you have to stay on top of shining the shoes or the polish might start cracking after a week or two (depending on the usage). If it does start cracking, just go through the process again, and it'll be good as new.

As stated, it you are right handed but left eye dominate it would probably be most comfortable to learn how to shoot lefty. Just note that there is a difference between bad vision and eye dominance. Just because you might have bad vision is different from messing up your perception. I do know of people who have learned how to shoot with their non dominant eye, but it's easier with a pistol- I could imagine it would be significantly harder with long guns

I think the Fall/early winter would be a perfect time (like now). We would have to deal with rain and maybe early snow, but it would be far better then the Summer or even Spring. I think the other guys who have taken even a day's worth of shooting courses would agree. As for a zombie shoot, yea, I've always thought they were pretty cool. I know they've filled up pretty rapidly in other areas, and I could imagine it'd fill up mighty quick in NJ... definitely good business.

In a day and age where your child can be permanently expelled from public school for drawing a picture of a gun or be charged with sexual misconduct for touching a female class mate on the butt while playing freeze tag it's hard for me to believe there would be any other spin on this but bad weather they found an entire locker full of ammunition or 3 rounds on the floor that Jr found in his dad's garage and thought was cool for show and tell with the other boy's. Should it be looked into yes, should it be blown out of proportion before anyone has any fact's including the new's, nope. Well, of course, that's what the rest of the quote you took out of context stated: "As for finding live ammo in a school, of course we don't know the details, but, as it is, I think its a big deal... not necessarily to be sensationalized in a bad light, but to be taken very seriously." :!:

You're implying the teachers would take the extra time to get trained up specifically how to do this since they have that luxury with the paycheck they collect . But seriously, I agree there should be training... but between how bad things are with the economy, and how bad things were for teachers before the economy declined, do you think the state would give a damn about spending that much more on any aspect of the educational system?

I don't know the procedure LE does for active shooter situations at schools, though I have seen the pamphlet given to teachers. My understanding is that since you don't know the situation beyond what is in front of you, the best option is to keep people locked down as it compartmentalizes the scenario. LEOs don't know who the shooters are, so, why risk evacuating everyone at the same time, possibly having a shooter amongst the crowd who could either do more damage or possibly slip away? I think people have the same reaction with SHTF situations. It seems like everybody would pack their vehicles and hit the road if SHTF, while its likely better to hunker down and assess the situation further before making an irrational decision. As for finding live ammo in a school, of course we don't know the details, but, as it is, I think its a big deal... not necessarily to be sensationalized in a bad light, but to be taken very seriously. Between terrible parenting and social institution's influence, I'm surprised there aren't more cases of violence from children or of suicide that are reported.

:text-yeahthat:

Just a side note, and considering this is a food thread... Man Vs. Food was in NB and Edison last night. They filmed at the Grease trucks and Harold's Deli, respectively.

I'll listen to anything at least once... :| But for the OP's sake; Citizen Cope, NiN, Audioslave, Clint Mansell, Matisyahu, The Killers, Tiesto, Johnny Cash... etc.

Welcome and happy holidays to you

This is a real material that apparently won "Material of the Year Award from Material ConneXion." [source]. Its a cloth that can be shaped in any way, but when water is added, it becomes a ceramic. The videos are a bit redundant, but it drives home the point. This stuff is pretty amazing, and I'd love to have some lying around... though, keeping it air-sealed would be a pain... plus the fact that the company is based out of the UK. I know we have engineers and architects on the forum. Is this type of material as dependable as they're saying?

Sorry about missing out. Got caught up in some extracurricular, and needless to say, I just got home... and leaving for class now.

Haha. The guilt from casual sex is only because of certain prude, social institutions. Otherwise, its a natural tendency!

jeeeeez. But you're right, after all the fees to get it here, it might not be as cheap as the local dealers. Still mind-boggling to see that number, haha. Fortunately I've reached the point where I bought enough stuff for my MP15 where it all costs more then what I paid for the MP15 itself.
