    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    Concerning juvenile and life sentences... I've spent a large part of my career in Juvenile Court. Just the way it worked out as a prosecutor, and now as a Magistrate. I agree that life for a juvenile seems improper. And, yes, I think that many former juvenile delinquents go on to lead...

    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    Bella, Congrats on passing the New York bar. No small feat, to say the least. Be proud of yourself. You done good, kiddo. Ephraim, we magistrates are "your honor," just as the judges, though "Your Worship" does have a nice ring to it. :) Here in Ohio, the title for the position was...

    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    I think that there is less prestige, and quite a bit of negativity, actually. Much of it is due, at least in part, to some of the "ambulance chasers" who advertise on TV, promising quick cash, etc. I understand the First Amendment reasons allowing the advertising, but it does cheapen the...

    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    Sorry I'm late Sorry that I'm late to the thread. Personal issues and an ill mother kept me away for quite some time. But, I'm thrilled to come back and find that we now have a little Bar in the bar, so to speak. As the name says, I'm currently a Magistrate in the middle of Ohio. Spent...

    The Science of Intimidation

    One of the most interesting things about science is that what is possible is determined by what we know now. Once upon a time, traveling at or beyond the speed of sound was deemed impossible, as it was believed that there was a point near that speed of sound at which the accellerating object...

    Guns and shooting advice?

    Kitty, Glad you are enjoying the new hobby. As you are finding out, it can be quite addictive. And expensive. I'm going to suggest you stick with the .22 and 9mm, as they tend to be the least expensive calibers to shoot. And, the more you shoot, the better you will get. Have fun and stay...

    Firearm safety tutorial

    If I may throw in my own 2 cents... i think deacon posted a reat thread with basic information. But, before you go hanlding a loaded firearm yourself, I suggest you seek some competent hands-on instruction. This does not have to be a paid instructor, though that can be a good choice. A...

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Carebear makes a good point. Recently, here in Ohio, a large marihuana farm, for lack of a better term, was found on some public lands available to the public for hiking, camping, and hunting. Scouts often use the area for wilderness survival training, as it's pretty rugged. Bad news is that...

    WWII Crusher and Garrison Caps

    In my Army days, I avoided the garrison cap as much as possible, in favor of my "uncrushed crusher." I always imagined myself in the khakis with the A2 and crusher, a pistol belt with my .45 slung low on my hip with extra mag pouches and a knife on my left. A man of action, with the hat to top...

    Ladies with cigarettes

    After careful consideration of the subject, I've concluded that it's the lady that makes the cigarette/cigar sexy, and not the other way around. Conclusion based upon the thread, and the two ladies I saw outside smoking. One was a beautiful attorney, and the cigarette added to the sex appeal...

    why do you do live the way you do.?

    If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad, right? And, to join the confession..bless me TFL, for I have sinned. I do not dress vintage, but rather use vintage style to dress well. And my fedora spends more time on the shelf than on my head.

    LADIES of the LOUNGE

    195 pages, with 3896 posts, and I'm left with just two things to say... 1. How did I end up in the company of such fine ladies? 2. Now I have to delete my Internet history so the Mrs. doesn't get mad at me for checking out the dames! ;) (Just a joke. She knows what goes on around here.)

    Barbigirl - Injured In Auto Accident (Update: & On The Mend!)

    Here's hoping and praying for a full recovery in the shortest time possible. Last summer, during a moment of what can be best described as a temporary lapse in sanity, I ended up on a backboard as a trauma patient, and had to have my left arm re-built. 2 plates and 15 screws. best advice is...

    George Lucas = comedian

    Back in the day, I wrote a research paper on George Lucas. I drew his name out of a hat. Anyways, while researching him, his life, etc. I came across article talking about Raiders. He and Speilberg met up on vacation somewhere, and talked about how they both enjoyed the Saturday Serials when...

    A youngers man's Classic Style and women

    Hey, listen. Ask someone out. No one can say yes if you never ask. And trust me, this is coming from one of the guys who was terrified of asking and being rejected back in my high school days. Only now at my reunions do I find out how many times I missed opportunities out of fear. I've...

    Perfect Mai Tai Recipe......tikiphiles discuss

    If I recall, wasn't the Mai Tai invented at the Mai Tai bar in the Royal Hawaiian hotel on Waikiki? I was there last September. Talk about a place still holding on to many of the vestiges of the Golden Era...

    Where are the good Italian Restaurants????

    For anyone in or near central Ohio, there's a family run restaurant on the far east side called Scali's. Mr. Scali is the owner and chef. His wife manages the place and greats you with a beautiful smile at the door. His mother makes all of the salads. The food is fantastic. I've never had...

    Classic firearms of the classic era.

    Accurate as a laser. I'll brag a bit. ONce upon a time, while shooting w/ grandfather, father, and a couple of grandfather's friends, they were arguing about my abilities. My father put a lit cigarette on a wire sticking out of a post about 25 yards from me, and bet $20 that I'd hit it with...
