I'm still trying to find a Move On article you'll believe… Anyone who doesnt believe we have the capacity to end either of these wars quickly need only look at the first war with Iraq. Our military is unstoppable if allowed to operate to their full potential. Youre judging people and situations you know nothing about. I simply do not care they urinated on a corpse. Start being honest, please… If democrats supported the draft they could have easily pushed it through like they did the health care bill. You had a couple nuts propose it and that was then end of it. Besides, democrats hav

I seldom go to bed before midnight and I'm up at 6 or 6:30 depending on if I go into the office or it’s a school day. I just got back from a trip to where I had to be at airport at 4am. It was easier for me to just stay up instead of going to bed early. I tried but just laid there thinking about things... I have noticed I need more sleep as I have gotten older. I used to be able to get by off 4 hours several nights in a row where now it seems I need 6.

Who are you to tell anyone what honor is? Have you served in our military? Have you ever been in a combat situation? I'm a realist. I don't live in a land filled with pink ponies and rainbows where everything can be solved by a chat over cookies and tea. There are entire countries filled with people who will never like us. Their land of pink ponies and rainbows is filled with American deaths and the destruction of our nation replaced with their views and religion. It never fails to amaze me how naive you on the left can be. I believe military service with a mandatory deployment overse

There is nothing anti-American about peeing on dead people. It is a piece of dead meat at that point and doesn't matter. We pussyfoot around these issues and it gains us nothing. The same people this offends are the same people who will not be appeased no matter what action we take so I say screw it. There will now be a witch hunt that won’t stop until someone is either NJP’d or court marshaled and careers are ended. All because some are upset people who were shot dead while trying to kill our troops were urinated on… We could have finished any of these conflicts in a matte

Trying to read the fire outside or in very bright light where there can be a glare is hard. Other than that it is just as easy or easier to read for me. Its just like a glossy computer screen. Anyplace you'd have a hard time reading a laptop display there is a good chance you'll have a problem reading the fire. Edited to add battery life between the two are not even close. You'll be recharging the fire daily. My other Kindle can go weeks to months between charges depending on how I use it.

In my limited experience your best result will be with two people. One to shine the light and another to follow with the gun. In my opinion they are harder to hunt with a call than a fox. We always used rabbit distress calls. Seemed to usually work well. You have to be real picky where you set up the calls as the coyotes will follow any rise and drop in the land on the way in and out to prevent you from getting a shot. It can get freaky out there when you are by yourself. I have climbed a tree a few times.... Its been a long time since I did any type of hunting. All this talk makes m

I put pocketcloud on my fire and was able to RDP to my windows 7 laptop with no issues. The screen was a bit small but it was usable. I'll play with the resolution some to see if that helps but the response times were so small I couldn't notice. You can use quick office to connect to dropbox and like sites and open files that way. I was able to open word and excel files with no issues. I am more impressed with this thing each time I play with it.

I just installed pandora on my fire. I'm going to spend a little time on the apps store to see what else is out there.

Two coyotes would have a very good chance of taking down either of your dogs. Three coyotes would kill either in a matter of minutes. They are probably the smartest killers you’ll ever come across in wild. They are outstanding at what they do and one of the reasons I can’t stand them. I know a number of hunters who have lost good coon hounds to them. Good hunting grounds are lost because people are scared to let dogs out in the area. They will eat nearly all game to the point of extinction in an area and have very little that keeps them in check.

Good grief… Get over yourself.

I have one and like it. Everything else I have seen that is even close in comparison costs much more. If you expect an iPad you should expect to pay for one. The fire is leaps and bounds above the original kindle.

Yet another topic you are clueless…

Coyotes are the one animal I think should be killed whenever seen. They will destroy game like no other.

My work hours vary greatly. At times I work a set schedule but usually I pick the hours I want to work. As long as my job gets done my management doesn't care. Sometimes I won't start working until lunch time, take a break when my son gets home from school and then pick it back up late in the evening. What I think we're seeing is the willingness to allow work more in to our lives. It is nice to have the ability to do a lot of my work from anywhere but the down side it I don’t ever truly leave my job. I have a lot of freedom with my job but it will and does interfere with my life. It is a

AT&T CALLS IT QUITS ON T-MOBILE TAKEOVER......

But… But... But... I don't like AT&T and that should be more than enough to justify the government in preventing the merger. -

You completely missed the point and I'm not feeling generous enough right to try to explain it further. You can live in a world where nothing is your fault and everything bad that has ever happened to you is because of someone/something else. I'll take responsibility for my future... -

I understand it might be hard for some to either understand or accept, but "THEY are the reason why they're in the boat they are in". America still lets us pick our paths in life no matter where we start. Options are different, but we each choose our destiny. Situations arise outside of our control but each of us chooses how to react to them. Those who chose a career in the housing market are more affect than many who didn’t. Those who lived more frugal and saved are better off with a loss of income than those who didn’t. The company you work for may have went belly up, but you choose -

There are plenty of careers without fees. In my opinion this notion has been the greatest lie to our American youths for the past few decades. We've come to think it’s required to spend tens of thousands of dollars on an education to have a chance of getting a “good” job. It simply isn’t true…. The entry in to many fields is controlled by the desire to enter it. The ability to excel in these fields is controlled by your natural ability to some degree but much more dependent on your work ethic. These fields are trades based and range from picking up a hammer to deploying a computer network -

I agree. I don't think we'll ever see an exact vision of the book become reality, but I do think many would welcome something similar in principle. The scary part is I can relate to why someone would want something like that and years ago would have probably supported it… -

Those who live in glass houses... If certain things ever become common knowledge around here I suspect there’d be a big shift in the opinion by many. Those of us who have been around since near the beginning have a little more insight in to things. In the end I don’t care what goes on beind the p.com curtain. I’ll reference it to make a point but I’d like to believe I’ll be the last person to tell someone how to run a business. Its Pubby’s website. Pubby’s floor. And Pubby’s chicken bones. I read Anthem on the flight home last night. It was scary to understand why some -

I'm not angry. I am sensible and realistic. Maybe you should put the drinks down, accept some responsibility and come back a more productive and contributing citizen. -

Does Pubby have you post this stuff or do you actually believe it? If Paulding.com gave all of its memberships away for free we’d all have equal access to all features on the site. Maybe we should get together and propose a law prohibiting web sites like these from pandering to those with the ability to pay for additional access while limiting those less fortunate. It is only fair for the needy to have access to the same functions and features on the website as those more fortunate individuals. It’s a meager sum per individual so I can’t see why you or Pubby would have any real argumen -
I like to put my resumes and references in a nice black envelope and hand them out that way. I'll bring between 3 and 5 with me ready to hand out and additional copies of my resume. Since this is a new field, try to think of ways your past experience fits in. It is common for me to be asked questions like: What has been one of your biggest challenges? (work or personal) How did you overcome it? What has been one of your biggest screw ups? Why did you screw up? What did you learn from it? What has been one of your biggest successes? Why? (I tie this one in to the first question) Why do you
