Well I never have sent an email to say something good about anyone. But your shop is the BEST so far as I’ve seen. Damn you sent the stuff so quick it might interfere with my alcohol consumption this weekend. Shipping rates are great, prices are too and you seem like good people.
PS. I never got the winning powerball numbers I was hoping for………LOL Feel free to use this email as you wish.

Aviators support each other in many ways. A giant fraternity, simply put, we love anything that flys…..
Excellent video with visual example of airflow over and airfoil during a stall.
A 1957 film from the Department of Defense. I love the visual teaching method used in these early films. Lots to learn here if you wanted to understand the forces on an aircraft.
It’s important not to fall into the swirling well of panic and paranoia. We so often hear those kinds of reactions from the those less informed whenever the AMA speaks out on a subject. I certainly favor the future development of our hobby to included FPV (First Person View) technologies and flight stabilization capabilities. The AMA is working very hard to avoid having issues with government officials deciding each and every model flying activity needs to be regulated and centrally controlled. PLEASE observe common sense and do your part to help everyone avoid this kind of onerous over reaching oversight that seems to be the trend in America these days. It’s your and my job to do something about it. Check out the revised policy below on the AMA blog site.
Dennis is well known as the owner of Kirby’s Kustom Graphics.
Four Star General Ham who gave this interview to a FOX reporter was relieved of command on October 18. It is speculated he was fired for disagreeing with orders to stand down.
As it comes to pass it turns out 4 Americans die in Libya at the Benghazi embassy. After months of begging for more security and 6 to 7 hours of begging for help during the attack and nobody came. Nobody was sent even though forces were less than 2 hours away. Our elite troops within hours of the site were not utilized to save our people. These troops are sworn to protect the life and liberty of American’s and they were not utilized. 300-400 emails received by the administration, including direct to the situation room (staffed by approx 30 senior officers 7 days, 24 hours) and the presidents office. Why so many attempts to get help? THEY WERE GOING TO DIE OTHERWISE. Our people were in a desperate situation. Do you suppose as each minute passed they were sure, they were confident boots would be on the ground, by parachute or helicopter to help them? Minute by minute they knew they would be saved. We are Americans after all! We don’t leave our people to die by choice!
Why when our public servants were under attack, when the video was playing live in the situation room, why were our people left to die? It is a horrible shame that these people were left to be killed when clearly we could have mounted a defense for them if our leadership had thought defending these Americans in government service were important enough to warrant decisiveness.
Furthermore, those that wanted to help were told to stand down. These people were left to die as if they were our most hated enemy’s. Maybe some other goal was judged more important? Were they gambling our people would survive and news reports that terrorism is “alive and well” wouldn’t hit the news outlets during a competitive election cycle? Were these Americans simply sacrificed in order to cash in on an opportunity to strike at free speech using the a movie trailer (one mans free speech) as the cause of the deaths? Was the attack on free speech merely an additional benefit of using this method to covering up the failure? They certainly did claim it was the cause on many occasions for which recordings are available for your review. Was it just too late and too tired out to do anything about it tonight? I don’t know if they were left to die for the advance “fundamental transformation” goals, political gain, for lack of will to act or just too busy. However, I am furious, disappointed and deeply ashamed that there is room in America, room in American hearts for such weakness and careless disregard for our citizens in need of help.

Hillary Clinton falls on her sword for the Commander and Chief even though she is not in command of any military resources:
Notice she describes the event as “In the fog of war.” However the only fog was in the decision between protecting American’s and doing nothing. War requires two parties to be fighting, Our government was not fighting.
The paper trail is uncovered:
Yesterday without formal planning or awareness, I began an experiment about something for which I’ve always felt was a non issue for me, yet I had never quite formally established the ascertion as fact. Having spent the entire day hour by hour enjoying coffee, much of it quite strong I was indeed in rare bean nirvana. Even unto 7pm, I was enjoying my new found caffeinism enough to brew yet another pot. Not unimportant to the experiment, the supply of warm cups was maintained even as 9pm rolled around. Just then, it crossed my inner awareness, my father had always refused to imbibe in all things Columbian brew after 1 or 2pm owing that he wanted to be fully prepared for the following day. My consumpition unhindered, willingly topping my cup off one last time as 10pm approached. Now as I write to you, having only just become aware of my blind subject participation in said experiment: I am quite sure that through the hours of darkness, I did in fact nap several times.
I hesitated to watch this documentary because of the title. I am relieved however to inform you that it’s not a racist film but rather a film about how gun control is linked to the history of racism in this country. Having recently found a treasure trove of excellent documentary films by , I offer another excellent one for you to consider.
