Physics is a wonderful thing. Thanks for posting that information.
I remember that shootout being on the news. Glad to hear they learned from it and have adjusted accordingly. The job is dangerous enough as it is, at least give the officer a fighting chance.
I can only imagine what went through the officers minds knowing they had hit Maddox but that it didn't seem to stop him. On the news I remember hearing speculation of bulletproof vests and possible PCP use to explain Maddox remaining vertical for so long.

I have to agree with FG and DD on the P/V equation. 50,000 shares of volume looks good until you realize it only represents $1000 bucks! FG's figures are a good starting point, things can always be adjusted.
Also, may I suggest calling them the BB-100 and BB-400, there has been discussion before about the NAZ being an OTC style exchange and some people could get confused.
The Bird of Prey
Yeah me too.
I once owned a Chrysler Limited Edition POS! Ran real well till my little brother ran it into a ditch.
have a good day

I see
so, as long as it is couched in "opinion" you can say whatever you please about whomever you please, whenever you please. Regardless of any factual basis for the statement.
Yet, when someone says whatever they please, about whomever they please, whenever they please, regardless of factual basis...you vilify them as hypsters and con artists or whatever insult you deem fit to heap upon them. Especially if they have chosen to comment on you.
This is a clear double standard and some might even call it "elitist".
Also, have you ever heard that "two wrongs don't make a right"?
On the one hand you want to be free to make statements that are clearly unsupportable and not get called on the carpet for doing so. On the other you want to eliminate freedom of speech for anyone you claim is guilty of the same thing.
Herein lies the lynchpin of your problems with other posters. You insist on respect and refuse to give it.
BTW, so you missed Enron. But what about K-mart. It's been in trouble for years, has all the hallmarks you scream at everyone about. Yet, no mention of it's imminent doom from you. What is the deal? Waiting until they actually declare before jumping on the basher bandwagon?
I am laughing at your "superior intellect" - James T. Kirk
The Bird of Prey
Yes I did.
A great story, and certainly an eye opener for many a man of any color. I know that Haley took a few "liberties", but hey that's why they call it artistic license!
Slavery was a dark chapter in this country's history as it has been in many civilations past and still exists in some areas.
What makes "Roots" such a great story though is the theme of triumph over adversity that runs thoughout the book and the mini series. As with all great stories it touches everyone in a deep and meaningful way. I remember asking myself, "What would I have done were that me?"
You can't ask for more from a writer.
The Bird of Prey
It is very sad. But what else could we do? Leave the buildings as they fell?
I do believe the government will step up to the plate (as it should in this case) and do the right thing.
The Bird of Prey
true enough
Though sometimes I engage in "hammering" certain points for the edification of others. Particularly the real youngun's!
At least until an "ignore" feature is installed here at IH.
The Bird of Prey
Just doing what I can to help. I am very interested in your options project, I'll contribute where I can.
The Bird of Prey
Disturbing but not surprising. The motto of the insurance industry has long been...
"We is in the bidnez of collecting premium, not paying claims!"
I realize that is an unflattering generalization. Sadly it is too often true.
The Bird of Prey
>>Trust,
Something you've done nothing to instill. Quite the opposite, you've inspired distrust.
>>I'm right I say that.
We are all always right in our own minds, especially when we choose to delude ourselves.
>>You don't know the people I know. eom
For this, I am grateful.
The Bird of Prey
>>I believe the insiders release misleading rumors to hype it up so they can short it down on the bad news.
that is a pretty serious charge. criminal activity.
got proof?
The Bird of Prey
Just in case
I've bookmarked the last two posts for the next time you're whining about someone rubbing your nose in the dirt.
ever heard of KARMA
or what goes around comes around?
BTW, Although one could surmise your assertions concering availablity of funds and continued operation. The 8k does not directly address the assertions you raised. Granted it isn't good news. But not closing the doors and turning out the lights.
have a good evening.
The Bird of Prey
I agree
I appreciate the intricacies of design that go into today's modern weapons as well as the ingenuity and craftsmanship of "antiques".
I also have a soft spot for a well turned blade. Nothing quite so terrifying to a burglar as a flamberge (5'long blade) tucked under his chin as he tries to slip through the window.

Considering the diverse opinions

Matt,
like the story so far...

>>I raised myself, and I'm a better person for it.
Questionable, very questionable.
The Bird of Prey
If I can be of any assistance let me know.
BTW, can we aspire to someone with a bit more...ahem...respect than DK? maybe Ziglar, Iacocca or Thomas?
The Bird of Prey
I see
I don't agree, but I see.
My view is that a peoplemark from a person posting 3 or 4 times a week is far more valid than one from someone that posted 5 times on one day 28 days ago and the next most recent contribution to the site was over 90 days ago. And infinitely more valid than someone that just lurks and never posts at all, but visits everyday.
reward the contribution to the community, not merely the exisitance in the community.
BTW, you never answered #9234 on this thread. How are things progressing with the "perception" problem?
The Bird of Prey
>>I just wanted to offend or disgust someone with those
Why? Do you get pleasure from causing distress in others?
That's Sadism.
or are you simply a psychopath, one who does not recognize sympathize or empathize with any feelings beyond his own?
The Bird of Prey
Yeah it's a great place to get away from it all. Florida actually still has a few places where you can tune out for a while.
The Bird of Prey
Key Largo
More of a where than a what. Part of the chain of islands at the tip of Florida known as the Florida Keys. Also the title and setting for a Bogey and Bacall film.
The Bird of Prey
For starters
Let me say thanks for having a great board here!
Although I don't own a gun, I was raised by responsible gun owners and I fully support the right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.
It saddens me to see young minds like joemoney's perverted by the liberal media/political combine view that somehow guns and their owners are somehow inherently bad.
I am heartened though by the willingness of the users here to post factual relevant information that contradicts that "popular" view.
Keep up the good work.
BTW, I liked the article about Utah. That business of "projection" causes an awful lot of problems in too many areas. I'd be surprised if that attorney gets whats coming to him though.
The Bird of Prey
That is correct
Personally it means nothing.
However, if I were new to IH, I would want to have the best information possible. In such case I would be "put off" to find users listed as "Top Members" who hadn't made 5 posts in the last 90 days, but were on the list because one of those posts was in the last thirty days.
There are a lot of things here at IH that I personally care little about, but I am very interested in helping Matt and Bob develop the site successfully so that it will remain a going concern and continue providing the features I do care about on a personal level.
The Bird of Prey
Just one more thought on this and I'll leave it alone...for a while.
Would you really call someone with 5 posts in thirty days an "active" poster?
Just for fun change the time limit to seven or ten days or 24 hours, see what the TML looks like then!
The way it looks now, one post in the last thirty days makes one an "active" poster.
The Bird of Prey
Well, since I must be leaving I'll leave you with one of the "dryer" recipes for martini's.
requires an eyedropper
36 and 1/2 drops of gin per drop of vermouth.
The Bird of Prey
>>If you guys get away with it...
What?
You'll post everyone's personal info over the entire internet? whether they were involved or not?
you'll hound them to the ends of the earth?
What is clear is that you don't really know why you've been suspended, and that you will extract revenge on you're alleged oppressors.
The Bird of Prey
OT: My mistake.
I thought you referenced something important here at IH.
The Bird of Prey
When did I
become a "promoter" or a 5 $ alias on RB?
answer the question. Isn't the real reason you think the ratings are "stupid" is because of the way you are treated on RB?
BTW, hey I'm on the list! they like me! they really really like me! :>)
The Bird of Prey
OT:I've only seen two posts at IH with that alias and neither one says anything like that.
Considering RB's notoriously lenient practices, I have to wonder why they chose to suspend you at all. They don't exactly have a history of handing out one week suspensions left and right. I have seen a few terminations for the most heinous offenses. Terminations usually are accompanied by deletion of the Alias and all posts made by said alias...usually but not always.
But we'll all know for sure soon enough. If you're back posting on RB next week, anyone that said your suspension was permanent will have egg on their face. If you're still suspended you'll be wearing the yolk. Today you said 5 days remained. You might get released early, but it will all be clear to anyone in just a few days.
In the meantime...enough has been said on this Off topic subject. I and others will be watching, but there is naught left to discuss.
The Bird of Prey
Can't say I'm surprised.
You must not take it well when you are wrong though. Still, to have missed what may go down as the scam of the century!
BTW, we weren't talking about what is on anyone's refrigerator. And I doubt Matt or Bob has plans to actually mail gold stars to those on the TML.
Now, be truly honest. wouldn't you be just the teensiest bit miffed if you couldn't crack the list while your favorite "promoters" were all there? Isn't that why you rail so loudly about RB's obviously flawed system?
The Bird of Prey
I see, you use speed to "dry out" your martini!
I'll wait a bit to see if anyone else has a more effective way to achieve the ultimate in dry martini. Then I'll post mine.
The Bird of Prey
Come now!
You would have us believe that you don't just glow everytime you get an email from one of the many downtrodden investors you've saved from being ripped off by some scam company? Or when someone pats you on the back in a message board for standing up to the perverse promoters?
I suspect that you should be positively alight with joy over the thousands of Enron shareholders and employees that you saved from financial ruin by warning them in advance what was coming. You did warn them, right?
The Bird of Prey
What is even more amazing is that the licquor here doesn't seem to produce any of the unwanted nasty aftereffects of the stuff served elsewhere!
The Bird of Prey
You just swigged one down. We have to *see* how you make one.
Besides, If I go first the contest will be over before it gets started. I once beat a fellow that used an eyedropper.
The Bird of Prey
Gin
and shaken not stirred.
The Bird of Prey
Nah, that's one of the great attractions of this place!
The Bird of Prey
All right!
You go first.
:>)
The Bird of Prey
Anyone up for a "who can make the driest martini" contest?
The Bird of Prey
OT:>>I am on RB!
That is just playing semantic games. Your posting privileges are currently suspended.
I would have to go back and look to see exactly who posted what, but the point is moot. Suspended is suspended. I don't know if it will be permanent or if that is just wishful thinking on the part of your opponents. Doesn't matter right now, probably won't ever really matter anyway.
Best of luck to you.
