Trying to find the "laws" about camping on public land in Indiana. How long can an individual "crash" on public land before the "law" hauls you off?

Anyone know, for Indiana, how long someone can "crash" on public land and get away with it?

The only scene I remember is an instructor standing on a jeep and a sniper is hitting a target beside him. The instructors job is to find sniper. he can't and when he gives up the sniper stands up and he's right next to instructor. I have been wanting to watch the movie but I cant remember the name. It isn't any of the sniper series but I can't think of what it is. Anyone know what movie it is?

Looking to find a general percentage for following question:

You hear about a martial art (you want to learn) is close to home and free.

Do you : A - assume it is crap and forget it

B - think about it only

C - show up to see

Answer A,B or C and why.

Be brutally honest. this is only a What If plus I really want a true answer. I plan on using this in an article I plan to write. Having a percentage answer will help with my work. As well please leave a short answer as to why you chose your answer.

Thank you for helping.

I just put up a video on youtube, my first. I am wanting some feedback, to see if there is interest. Want honest feedback only please. If it is liked I am thinking about doing more. Once on youtube type "cagedraptor" as search. It is a tire training video. Thanks for helping out. The question(s) 1. is it something that is useful

2. do you feel I have the ability to teach others. Just do not want to put up video if the larger part of those that look at it will consider it useless or unskilled. I have my own views but I want to do this to teach and help others. If that isn't going to be what others think then I do not see a need to put the time and effort into doing them.

These cards are from the Main Event set. #34 Cole Miller, #37 Quinton Jackson, #53 Roger Huerta and #123 Jesse Lennox. These are the only four cards I need to complete my Main Event set. Looked on ebay but seems that those people there think they have found some new form of gold. I would like to complete my set and will pay around $1 for each of the cards. If anyone is willing to talk with me about these cards please let me know either here or at cagedraptor at yahoo dot com. I can't think that they would be valued much more than the $1 each that I am offering, if someone wasn't trying to gouge someone to death. Anyway if anyone has these cards and are willing to talk with me about selling them drop me a line. Thanks

I am looking for card 100 (tko1) and card 178 (joey costello). Any one have these two cards and will let them go for no more than $1. I looked on ebay and those there seem to think they have some new form of gold. I got an entire box for $10 and those were the only two cards not there. Just want to complete my set. They can't be worth more than a dime each, lets get real. I will pay around $1 and shipping if anyone will sell them to me. Any one willing to consider this offer please drop me a line here or at cagedraptor at yahoo dot com. Anyone willing to talk with me?

Wife and I are going to UFC 119 and we would like to be at the weigh in and press conf. but we haven't found any info on when and where they will be. Anyone know how we can find the info? thanks for help

For those who have real skill in structure, grammar and punctuation of the English lanuage. How much would you, if you did, charge to read, edit and fix such issues? Secondly I am in the market, sorta speaking, for such a skilled person. The book is basic normal paperback size and contains a little more than 300 pages. I know that there are many such mistakes in my book. Mainly am just wanting to get a basic idea of what I'm looking at here. As well as an after thought am looking for someone skilled in this area.

is there any one who has something "new" to bring to the table? Starting your own style of fighting, is it valid? The second part of the question follows in a new question after answers are given.

I have both, each are not working. A yellow blinking arrow with a horizontal line under it. No manual, what does this indicate?

Can't find on net and no one sells them any more. Anyone know what this means? Please Help !!!!! Going Bonkers.

If you could only ask 1 (one) question to an instructor, that would determine if you trained with them, what would it be?

My question is what would be a resonable price to pay for the artwork. I know that it varies on quality, artist, and countless other factors. As an over all and quite general est. for a basic color drawing. Nothing fancy or overly great. Hope this isn't overly basic and to general. $50 too little ? Wanting to gage ideas before I leap into something without a clue, which is were I am at this point.

Am finished with my 1st draft, and am working on my first edit. Hope that it will get published by a company, yet I am expecting I'll have to self publish. Would like to ge advice from those who have used these types of companies. Real, detailed advice not like most answer that I find. Would like to ask many, many questions through e-mail. Anyone willing to spend some time with me? cagedraptor@yahoo.com

I am the "new guy" and one of the longer employed persons tells tales of his "other jobs" a security guy and bouncer. Well his failing is claims to be working in a loss prevention job that I myself held for 9 years, he didn't know that when he boosted of this job. I have been out of that job for about 2 yrs now and with the benifit of the doubt I considered it poss. (not) that he cold be telling some form of the truth. Last night he used this "job" to leave work early. I got feed up and went to my old job, the one he claims he does now, and talked with a few of the guys. (same lp guys from when I was there) none of them know this guy and for sure he dosen't nor ever worked as security for them. I'm feed up with his lies and now am going to set the record straight with him and everyone else we work with. Is this something I should do or should I let him abuse this job, leaving early, coming in late etc. and using his pretend job as a reason for it???

Every time I bring up video people, on this site, get all in a bunch. Books are better than video I get. My question is what makes a book soooo much better than a video. For me I tend to learn better when I can see the action along with the word. Explain how books far excede the video in martial arts. To add I am talking about skill of technique and the like not history or kata, but even with kata I think a video would be so much better than books. Yes I know instruction with a real person is best. I know I'll get several about going to a real instructor. Just keeping topic on video vs. book.

I ask a simple question and I get so many answers that do the very thing I ask not to be done. I ask for idea's on a series of intructional video. The first two not only not answer but the first guy starts off under the idea I have no clue or skill. The second guy says to ask my target aud. Duh, a group of martial artists on the internet that span the world, what better wide spread focus group could I have than here? I just want straight forward ANSWERS, not side tracking or off the wall chatter. I think I was quite clear in that question, maybe it's me. Here's my question: Is my question not clear? Am I not making myself clear enough in my questions, or is it just those who are answer??????

I know a lot of people here down play the role of video but I have a question. I want to develop a series of video instructonals on MMA and Aikido (for the most part) I would like input as to topics and ideas as to what, in those areas, you would want to view. I want them to be differant than all the others out there, if possible. Any idea as to titles you'd like to view that maybe you haven't seen much of? I have alot of ideas but I want the point of view of those who would be viewers and those who would be buying the dvd's. Their views, being yours, would be utmost important. I don't want to develop several video that no one is intrested in.

I know how some can be so just go on the assumption that I have the skills to pull this off both in martial arts and in marketing. I just want ideas as to a few good video ideas on Aikido and MMA, as well I have mod. skill in Kali/Escrima so if you want to toss in a few ideas there feel free.

What do you want to see?

I have :

Nellie Marquriet Smillie born about 1867 in Illinois and died 6 Feb 1925 in Kokomo, IN

she had a child by Samuel Gibbs (Guy Francis Smillie b: 11 May 1891)

As well she married Fred Ehrhart and had children.

I have her parents as John F. Smiley from Canada and Elvina Lozier from Ohio.

It has been indicated to me that the parents may be incorrect, I know the rest is 100% .

Anyone have info on her parents, with verification. If I'm wrong I want to correct it. If im correct I want to know for sure. (Guy is my ggrand and I need to know for sure if Nellie's parents are truly John and Elvina.

Any help would be really helpful. Please no goofy answers or insults here, Am very worried that I may have made an error in her parents and this bugs me.

It's been about a month, or so, since I was checking out the questions here. There the same questions. Hasn't anyone gotten an answer for who is best or what style is best? Should I take this style or that? To me it seems kinda sad that the same questions are being recycled over and over. Will it ever end? As for that will we ever stop complaining about them ever ending??
