The world is an imperfect place. My cousin Vinny for example fell on a knife 21 times...Accidents happen all the time.

Jamie A gun is a gun though, they all fire bullets. One might look more sinsister than the other. But a 7.62 will fire out of anything that is meant for whether it is a military looking weapon or a Ruger hunting rifle. What they look like does not matter. The damage is the same. I meant alcohol was used as a tool was for lack of a better word. Catalyist? You knew what I meant. I guess that is aimed at me then huh?

Soap Box rant on Cars kill more people than guns, lets ban them. McDonalds makes people fat, ban that too. Why is it that when someone kills someone with a gun they blame the gun, but someone drunk kills a person with their car, you don't hear the charge to ban alcohol or cars. Both were tools used by someone to commit these acts and kill far more then people with guns. I will say this until I am blue in the face and yet no one listens, it isn't the guns, its the people. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If they do not use a gun, they use an ax, or a knife. Look at those wack jobs in China going around stabbing 10 to 20 people in one rage fest. Better mental health care and a better system of IDing the ones who might go postal is in order. It wont catch everyone. However in many cases you see that a person had a history of some sort of odd behavior prior to their rampages. Look at the Colorado movie theater shooting, Sandy Hook, the attack on Congresswoman Gifford, the naval yard shooting, all of them were wack jobs and people knew. Nothing was done or said. The system is broke. I have guns, I carry guns, my kids know how to safely handle and shoot guns. Even my 9 year old twins girls know what to do if they find an unattended firearm. Education and prevention is a key component here. It won't catch every situation but its a start. Soap Box rant off The TSA screeners do not need guns. That is what the airport police are for. I think that this is a recipe for disaster. LEO train and train and then when they are sick of training, they train some more. I don't see a week long or a month long course for a TSA worker, then you can carry a firearm is a good idea. If they are going to they need to train like LEO's and train often.

Note: As a preliminary change log, the list below may be added to and/or items removed prior to release. DCS World Improved network play stability. Track file are now automatically created when a crash is detected. In order to help the team find and correct MP issues that we are not always in position to produce during testing, 1.2.7 introduces the writing of tracks even when the game crashes. These tracks can be provided to the testers and developers in order to reproduce the conditions that caused the crash and correct it. This feature is a big step towards solving possible future and current problems that are often difficult to hunt down. When playing on a server and you experience a crash, put up an MP crash post and include that track in your post. Same thing goes for server owners. CBU-87/103. Decreased the count of graphic effects for improving FPS. ECM effectiveness against air defense systems has been significantly increased. Adjust Control window for in-game input adjustment were added. Adjust Control button can be find in the system panel by pressing ESC. VHF AM radio frequencies now correctly increased by 10 Mhz. The input modifiers are separated for each input layer (for each aircraft). Corrected night detection ranges of ground units with IR sensors. Reworked the Dynamic Launch Zone (DLZ) of SAMs. It will now take to account the target’s data instead of the earlier fixed zone. Kh-25ML (AS-10) new flight dynamics implemented. Increased explosive mass to all HE rounds. Explosive now mass equals the round mass. This was decided because HE rounds lack fragmentation and were very weak on regards to proximity damage. R-27R/T, R-27ER/ET. Corrected drag and lift. Adjusted DLZ data. Corrected a far LOD of projectile's green tracer. Added engine smoke for most aircraft. Added SAM launchers elevation above target LOS.

That ending was the most epic I have EVER seen. We were like screaming at the tv for Davis to run. Amazing, just amazing.

YOU TURKEYS!

So there you have one of the many reasons we have a subscription option here at CA. But when one encourages behavior like this, it makes me just shake my head. kentcol is a long time member here too and knows the deal with paying for bandwidth. What a shame.

Bring it in. Take a knee. Meach, the Side-Straddle Hop – go. We are right now staring down the barrel of a four-day weekend. Most of you are going to who the hell cares where, to spend the holiday with people who don't hate you. While you are gone, surrounded by soft, squishy civilians who wouldn't know a bayonet from a baby seal, you may be tempted to soften a little, to entertain the idea that your opinions have value, that you can cram all the pie in creation down your face hole.... Go ahead. Join your squishy friends and family in being useless boils on the backside of this great nation. Bring your wobbly, fat ass and opinions right back here for some quality time. I will run you 'til you've puked up every last deviled egg and marshmallow, 'til your every breath takes life and death focus, leaving your new-found opinions a hazy memory of some other existence. Meach, I can see you, Shitknuckle. Don't cheat your body. Go, enjoy your Thanksgiving. Those of you who failed to submit a pass request form will be staying within growling distance of Yours Truly. I intend to spend this holiday locating good places to dig deep holes in the back forty. I suspect I'll be able to accommodate at least five sorry pieces of shit out there. Make sure you aren't one of them. If I have to pick you up from the local lockup, I'll give you a tour of the new holes-to-be on the way back. I'll even show you my favorite shovel. Also, it's getting cold, and the roads are getting icy. Plan accordingly. If you die of hypothermia this weekend, I'll make sure your hometown newspaper hears that you died of auto-erotic asphyxiation while jerking off to The View. While you are out not getting arrested, not building bonfires on the parade field, and not getting married, I want you to remember the Five Ds: 1. Don't do dudes. 2. Don't do dudes' wives. 3. Don't do drugs. 4. Don't drink and drive. 5. Don't beat your wife. Meach, recover. Drink water. Now, get the hell out of my AO!

This is has been one of THE best threads in a long time. Im wiping my computer screen off right now.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All is forgiven, and I like that fact that people owned up to their mistakes.

I got an email from kentcol "Dave I wasn't trying to insinuate anything like that. I have paid on your site in the past and am a big fan of it. It just seemed like he was in a hurry to get the one file so that's why I suggested that. I see now that it was not the right thing to do and I guess I wasn't thinking. I apologize. So I guess do what you think is right. Sorry." As far as I am concerned his apology is accepted.

Well the infectious disease people come in and did a ton of tests and it was not mrsa. Just a severe staph infection. Antibiotics for 6 weeks but the good news is that he is up and more alert than he was after the 2nd surgery. After the 2nd surgery he was in a zombie like state. So we're thinking that the infection was in the drivers seat the whole time. Finally his zombie like a state was his doing. He gave himself the staph infection by touching his head where they had cracked him open. He never knew he was doing it in his sleep.

Hey it isn't a staph infection, it's mersa. My poor father in law can't catch a break.

Dad got out of surgery but will be on antibiotics for weeks . They had to take a piece of his skull. After the antibiotics he will need reconstructive surgery on his skull. Then after that he will go back into rehab, then maybe they can start the radiation therapy to zap that rest of the tumor.

Awesome work.

It gets worse, he has a staph infection of the brain. They had to drain part of it before they wheeled him in. It was liquid infection.
