If the bank is happy with the appraisal and feels confident lending to you, then you should be able to borrow the 70% of appraised value = 70,000 and then only have to come up with 20,000 for the downpayment. But, they might base it off of the actual sale price (market value) rather than the appraised valuation, so I'd double check with them. I've seen it done both ways.

I haven't seen this information here, though I might have overlooked it. Looks like it would be a fun class to set up and participate in. https://ngoabuyersclub.com/building-the-1911/

Tennessee Technological University has a great MBA program (10 classes - 30 hours) that is accredited and the school is as military friendly as the state allows (not much room for negotiation on state mandated tuition rates). Three of the MBA professors are AF veterans and all of the staff is willing to work around deployments and other job requirements of active military. I work at TTU so drop me a PM if you want additional information.

Definitely, and unless she's referring to Jordan flying over someone's head for a dunk, I've never seen him moonwalk.

Sure, Thai Airways has specials out of LA for the next month or so. Make sure you're current on your Hep. vaccines.

Just wondered why all of the Muslim talk on a thread about an idiot killing Sikhs. If he was really a skin head, I doubt he cared what religion he just killed them because they were "different" from him.

you guys do realize Sikhs are not Muslims, right???

Trainer, read some stories from the many countries that have currencies that have failed over the years. If you don't think things can get ugly quickly when the value of your currency drops to nothing you haven't been around long (Poland, Brazil, etc) and those are the fairly peaceful failures. Am I real worried about it, no, but I have given it a little thought. But, I grew up in Pakistan and was there when their last civil war resulted in Bangladesh, so even as a kid I saw the impact of turmoil on a population and maybe that made me more aware of the potential for chaos when things go to crap.

Trainer, He sounds sane to me. i'd say you are screwing the pooch if you aren't thinking about and planing for (preparing for) the unknown. No need to worry and stress, but some thought and planning given to the future (potential risks and opportunities) is always a good idea. And, no, I don't think the dumb-ass-in-chief is selling us out, but I think all of our "leaders" are pretty much short sighted and self serving.

Brick, Jay Leno's garage did a show on 3D printing, probably available on Youtube. It is a inkjet type printing method using glue and plastic media to build any 3d object. It is crazy amazing to see it work. They laser measure an object and the printer prints out a platic exact copy (or scale sized as the above AK builder showed with both sizes). Rainman beat me.

I don't see too much about gun control but I do see a bunch of guys trained to problem solve discussing the pros and cons of stepping out to stop a threat/problem. I find it similar to hangar flying except for gun owners. People pointing out fears and dangers and others pointing out ways to deal with the problem/threat and potentially fixing it before it gets worse. Since we don't know the victims it's easier to be cold sounding in the discussion but I think with problem solvers we want to try to figure out the best way to solve a problem rather than sit around mourning losses (regardless of the senseless and tragic nature).

Yeah danger you can borrow nsplayer's and flamingbull's be-dazzler to get your flight suit ready for the big event.

Too bad the father didn't save the state from a trial and cost of housing this douche-bag homo.

mappleby, so really what you're saying is "it's not religion, it's the nutjobs".

Yeah I say skip Asia and hit France and the cemeteries around Normandy and then a day trip down to Le Mont St Michel. If there is a little fog it is even more impressive as you drive towards it. A little island (actually connected by a causeway) that appears to rise right up out of the sea. Not much to actually see there (other than the monastery/church and some touristy stuff) but it is pretty cool to see the place appear to float on the sea when driving towards it. If the tide is out it’s surrounded by sea bottom/sand/mud but when the tide is in you get the floating effect. The cemeteries around Normandy and Le Mont St Michel were on my bucket list and I finally did them 3 years ago. An excellent trip.

Badfnz, You might check with the PVA (www.pva.org) or DAV (www.dav.org). They both have progrms in place to help veterans with disabilities get retrained and back in the work force. I know Homer Townsend, the PVA's executive director. He's a good dude and he's been with PVA for years, both as a volunteer and now as paid staff.

And is that a big zit in the middle of her chest above her boobs?

Yeah, how about the theory that since all of the "leaders" of this great nation lie, cheat, and steal in a heartbeat when they think it would help them, why potentially wouldn't someone else (military or not). And Christian institutions face the same issue in their environment as well. Church and denominational leaders who are caught in financial scandles, cheating on spouses, covering up wrong doings, abuses, etc, ... the leadership in the church isn't setting a real good example either. A complete failure in moral and ethical behavior all around.

Thanks for the feedback on the LC9. I currently carry an XD9 (the small one) but it is still pretty thick and obvious in most dress type clothing. I was looking for something smaller and the LCP is just way too small for rmy hand. The LC9 is small but at least I can still get all my fingers but the pinky on the grip for a little better control. I'd guess that in most emergency defense situations the 7 rounds in the LC9's mag. are adequate. I went ahead and pulled the trigger and bought the LC9. I haven't shot it yet but will give feedback when I get out to test it. It's a pretty good looking small gun.

A quick question. Helodude mentioned the Ruger LC9 in a post a while back. Does anyone have experience with that gun? Does it shoot well? Would it make a good conceal carry gun (size wise)?

When someone elects to be a douche and makes a spectacle of themselves (burglar pride parades and the like) and then gets made fun of, that's on them. A kid at school getting made fun of for being fat, weird, dork, etc isn't a good thing but it's been going on for years and additional laws aren't the solution.

Huggy I want to know who the knucklehead in Korea was that everyone wanted gone?!! Hopefully he didn't stay in the community long enough to mess with you guys. And would also love to know who the dude was that fell in love with the artist from San Francisco, that was a classic story (though not a good one if it destroyed their marriage).

Dude, while that's impressive that you stump trained a moose that quickly, the pictures might come back to haunt you.

Way harsh, since we know all teams do this to some degree even at the college level (maybe not so explicit but that's the idea behind helmet stars, key play rewards, etc??!!).
