Man, if we go forward with a military misadventure into Syria, I think that it would crack the top 10 on this list of worst military decisions in history especially if some of the worse case scenarios develop after the strike. Already, the President is micromanaging the Syrian target list as LBJ did (#2 on the list) in Vietnam. Vicarious
One of my favorite Tool songs done 300 style.
Lame Excuse
So how long is the President going to run with the "I only hear about things from the media" as it pertains to departments/agencies under his control? At what point is he held responsible? Or anyone in those departments for that matter? Obama learns what the NSA is up to through the press.
An AFP reporter asked Obama to respond to the most recent NSA leaks that officials in Brazil and Mexico were being spied on.“I said that I would look into the allegations,” Obama said. “I mean, part of the problem here is we get these through the press and then I've got to go back and find out what’s going on with respect to these particular allegations - I don’t subscribe to all these newspapers, although I think the NSA does - now at least.
If Obama has to wait for the press to publish a leak before he'll go and find out what's going on, then he's not doing his job. It's not very Presidential to look like you don't know the extent of one of the most damaging leaks in U.S. history. Of course, it's a pretty stupid statement to make when we all know the press does not publish anything without getting approval from the White House. He is their chosen one.
Sexual Harassment
Poor guy. Probably NSFW.
Drone Humor
Yeah, yeah, it's always fun and games until you scalp yourself with a drone, but here are some humorous things to do with drones.
House Demolition
I figure it is far easier to get away with this in the Detroit area but never underestimate the ability of the government to eff it away. Crews demolish the wrong house in Pontiac because one home owner switched the address numbers with the house next door. In the end, both homes got schwacked.
Parkour
Based on the video game Mirror's Edge.

Gun Mailbox
I'm sure this N.J. man's mailbox will be banned in 3...2...1...
The Bodyguard
Lady Gaga bodyguard tazed to death after naked cocaine rampage.
So the late Norman Oosterbroek, 43, who was a bodyguard for the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Jay-Z, recently broke into a neighborÂ’s house in Miami. He was naked and started beating up the homeowner, and when the cops arrived and tazed him, he ended up having a fatal heart attack from the combination of drugs and high voltage.
Supposedly, he was beating up the homeowner with one hand, and feeding himself drugs with the other.

Actually, I'm a bit pissed. We put a hundred grab bag rounds through the rifle with no problem, no jams ( grab bag means that my grandfather stored them all in a large salt shaker. Really. All kinds of different .22 rounds. ). When we moved on the the 100 Winchester Super X plinking rounds that I purchased at the range, there were 3 jams before we went through 50. The last one I couldn't clear at the range. I just pulled it out of the barrel and the bullet is unseated from the casing. New Winchester ammo. I've got 50 rounds left and I don't know if I trust them.
Anyhow, I haven't been shooting in a while. I was putting the entire mag inside the 9 ring at 15 yards with a pistol I've never shot before, and all 16 shots from the .22 in a 3" grouping at 25 yards using iron sights. That's not great, but it's been 3-4 years since I last went to the range so at least I know I haven't forgotten how. It'll get the job done against a home intruder anyway.

Oh well.
If the machine shipped with an AGP slot, it has to be pretty vintage. Even a very cheap second-hand system would likely a be a fair bit more modern and a better application of any funds you might apply to getting the old one restored.
Meanwhile, check out the motherboard for any identifying text. Even an FCC number will let you look up the board and get an idea which exact driver you need.

The biggest problem with going ahead in Syria is that the good men and women of our US Armed Forces will have to pay the price. I think the Lightworker and Assad should just have a duel on the front lawn of the White House. Pay Per View, it would help pay off the national debt as well, so two birds and all that.

I took Daughter and the new Grok to the range today. She was dressed appropriately and no douchebags were encountered (STFU). Also, no skimpily dressed airheads.
I think I need to go to YOUR range...
At any rate, the Evil Black Shotgun's new holo sight has been centered and works great and the new Grok shoots well although I need to practice with it.

I bought a box for $20 just before the scare. It often goes for $75 or more now. I hear nothing but horror stories about it. Squib fires (bullet sticks in barrel). Bullet coming out of crimp while still in the box. These are things you just didn't hear. I think that except for Lapua and Eley (who have their own "issues"), ammunition makers find themselves under production pressures they're just not used to, and the low end of the line suffers first. This will be with us awhile.
When you're learning both shooting technique and a new gun, I don't think you can afford that third variable. Once you have a feel for how forgiving your gun is, it's a hobby in itself to try all grades for reliability and accuracy. While you're learning what a good group feels like, that's not fun. It can ruin your shooting.
It bothers me when people buy the best ammunition for their basement boxes, but for learning you need to have some consistency. CCI Standard Velocity and Eley Match are still around, here and there. They should not let you down. Expect $7-8/50 round box, but when we awaken from this bad dream you'll have plenty of chances to run cheaper stuff. I sure miss Wolf Match Gold.

I tend to shoot better when the weather is cooler. I hate being outside and it's hot as hell because I have to wear gear which seems to trap the damn heat. I remember one time I was shooting in the rain and did pretty well. I need to go shooting again too when I have the time.

Man and his boy showed up just before we left with a couple of 100 rd boxes of CCI and a Ruger 10/22 and couldn't put more than 2 or 3 through it without having FTF/FTE issues. The time before last that I had the Marlins out at the local range we were shooting Range Partner's coffee can .22 and the Model 60, which has NEVER been picky about its ammo, kept having FTF/FTE issues (but the 795 worked flawlessly as did Range Partner's 10/22). Last time I had the Marlins out at the local range, shooting white box Winchester, no problems from either of them (actually the last 2 times, we took them to Virginia and they worked flawlessly there as well on green box Remington). Some things just make you scratch your head.

My shoot for real ammo is prime stuff (up to 2 bucks a round for the Arisaka, ouch!) but my range ammo is either reloaded or white box Winchester (although I have bulk Federal for the 9mm). The bulk ammo is reliable enough for practice, but if you need it in the real world...yeah, get quality ammo for sure.

I haven't shot it, so I don't know of any problems. Haven't heard of anybody else having any though.
In my job, if I get to the point of having to shoot, I have messed up severely. I work with provincial government officials, and I usually only have the pistol anyway. Still, even the combat types that go out on patrol don't do a whole lot of shooting these days.

well good grief, that was disappointing, I can't believe how many people around here didn't like "Now you see me." I appreciated the fact that it was a somewhat novel premise, the magic tricks were cool, the fight scene with the playing cards was fun, and the plot twist wasn't obvious until you were right upon it. Plus my son loved it and it was nice to find a new movie to sit and watch with him.
I guess, for me, I find it a lot easier to suspend my disbelief and just roll with a movie. Had that problem a lot with my ex-husband, he would get all caught up in the science errors or the technology errors and I would be going "yeah but that explosion was so freakin awesome who cares if it violates the laws of physics"

When you think of cleaning your rifle, you always think of the barrel bore. And you should do that. Semis, almost by definition, have a lot more rounds put through them than bolt target rifles because bangbangbang. When they get snarly enough, you just have to have that firing mechanism apart and scrub it with a toothbrush.
Disass with a copy of the manual close at hand, and pitch a fine-mesh tent to catch those pins and springs.
I have never found the 10/22 to be at all temperamental (except for that damned mag release), but for sure give-it-to-Mikey omnivoraciousness, there is nothing like a 1920 Remington Model 24, J.M.Browning, patentee.

the character I liked on Hell on Wheels was the woman, the one who survived the Indian massacre her husband died in and who saved the railroad maps and then worked for the railroad (well, she also slept with the Colm Meaney character, but I didn't hold that against her).
I do like Common though. That was another reason I liked "Now you see me" Common was one of the FBI guys.

An old Nylon 66/77 is pretty unfussy and will keep firing even when incredibly filthy. Takes about 800-1,000 rounds of lead nose ammo through them before they start to get weird and jam up.

My parole officer says I can send you rice, (uncooked-unseasoned), if you want it.
He says I can cook it, but you'd have to drive to Ohio.
I'm not allowed to "Season It" until 2014. My "Getting Jiggy Wit' It" prompted a de-seasoning sanction / sentence of Twenty Years.
Every State abides by it now. They've all become one. I'm all "Free Market". I season my own foods and keep it on the 'down-low'.
I'd send you Seasoned Shellfish, but the tarriff incurred on the rice, alone, is enough to make you and me think twice.
Putting together a "jambalaya" is too much for me and My Crew to handle. You're looking for the Higher-Ups.

342 Cicero..I LOVE green beans and taters, mine never come out like my aunts in southport NC. You use bacon?
Nope. I sear salted and peppered beef short ribs in a some oil, remove them, add the beans and not hardly cover with water, add two cups boiling water to which I add one tablespoon each beef and chicken broth. Put the ribs back on top the dutch oven and cook until the beans are almost done, then put the taters on top and season with more salt and pepper.
Got corn bread?

There are four. Napa, NY, Texas, and Singapore.
So, the BH and I went to the Greystone Restaurant at CIA Napa....they had a whole bunch of nice stuff on that evening's menu -- venison with fiddlehead ferns is just one that I recall (though I took notes!), but we were looking through it and just not jelling on anything.
I should digress for a second and note that the restaurant is actually the master class for senior-level chefs about to graduate. When they figure you're competent, they put you to work, under the strict supervision of the master chefs who teach. Our waiter, even, was studying to be a sommelier.
So, there's so much good stuff, but we're frowning at the menu, and our waiter asks us if he could help. We said, "we thought there might be a tasting menu." He cocked his head, said, "hold on", and nipped off. About 90 seconds later, he was back. "There is -- $125." We slammed the menus closed.....and there began the second most expensive and the most amazing meal we've ever had.
When we left, hours later and stuffed to the gills, we figured that they had taken all the advanced chefs who had missed a class and had 'em do make-up preps to our table. By the time we hit desserts, we were getting so many plates that people at other tables just stared.

I care. But that is not enough. You really really really need to call a hotline and ask for help. Your county or state probably has a number you can call. I did a quick online search and didn't see a reliable national number there for you to call, or I would post one.
The best I can offer is this -- My (still) best friend went through a rough patch 30 years ago as he was staying with us. I got him to call a hotline, and they did help him. I was with him last week, and he's a very successful and happy individual these days.
It just takes a call to get help.

It's just looking at one's younger self (and here I mean a year or two). You see what happened. What came about. What worked.
There are three MP3s (Summoning Ritual, Toy Funeral, Zoology) that I listened to and I honestly thought, Who did that? Those are pretty good, they have integrity, they have a kind of substance, they are evidence of WORK.
Of course, all three of those MP3s contain nothing but my own crap, so aside from Mr. RVH's lyrics and lead vocal on the Toy Funeral one, I'm left alone to wonder where the signs for that wrong path took shape.
Thanks for saying that you know me. I love you.

The most popular wrong path is despair -- because all other "wrong paths" can become the scenic route to the right place.

It took time and effort to get past that, but it is extremely doable. The first thing is to recognize the flat-out false statements you tell yourself -- like "no one would care" if you died. It's just not true, as demonstrated right here on this thread -- and there are no doubt many more people in your life who would care a great deal.
You'd be amazed at how much anguish you can alleviate by simply reevaluating the thoughts you have about yourself from one moment to the next and determining just how much real truth there is in them.
Listen to the people telling you to call someone.

I interviewed with a CPA firm on Ventura Boulevard in Encino, thinking that I was taking a step toward building a life together. By the time I actually started working there, I didn't know why life was worthwhile at all. While I performed my duties competently and efficiently, it must have seemed odd to hire an "up-and-comer" and receive a zombie.
I remember times that I would trudge across Ventura Boulevard to get to a food place to continue my life another few hours without hunger....but not check the lights first, in hopes that a passing motorist might end hunger and longing and strife and pain forever.
I've had my fill of the real deal.

BTW, when I said I'd removed five of them from my body, those were just the ones that had managed to start snacking. I don't know how many I found just looking for a good spot to tuck in. They're tiny as hell. I wasn't even sure they were ticks at first.

I've never seen a tick, except in a picture. And I've been schlepping around California for decades....but I'm ready to move to where I'd start to deal with 8-legged parasites (which are rare in California) and avoid the 2-legged parasites that run rampant.

We think there may have been something wrong with the .22 ammo; it jammed three times. Dave actually has to field strip it to clear a spent casing jammed in it. Unhappy about that.
Saw the most ahmaaaaazing innovation at the range store - a rifle case which FLOATS. To prevent those unfortunate boating accidents.
I think my pistol needs a name. Taking suggestions. It's a kicky little Smith and Wesson SD9VE.

You should probably shoot the pistol at a target 3 yards away while you are learning it. The closer target helps build confidence and since most of your misses will be on the paper, it helps you learn what you are doing wrong so that you can correct for it. This is not a waste of time since most shootings happen at a range of zero to five feet. When you are putting most of your bullets inside the 8 ring at 3 yards, try shooting at 7 yards.

The Concealed Carry class here requires a minimum score at 3, 5 and 7 yards. One of the classes I took started us out at 25 yards. After that class I seriously thought about giving up gun shooting and taking up needlepoint. Thankfully I got better.

In my not so humble opinion, the real mistake with Afghanistan was to leave the place essentially the same as we found it. We kicked out the Taliban and forced bin Laden to relocate but we did not fundamentally transform the place.
How would such a fundamental transformation be possible? About the only thing that Afghanistan has which cannot be obtained easier somewhere else is its location at a crossroads between China and the Middle East and between the Indian Subcontinent and the Caspian region. The way to use that would be to build railroads across the country. For the political reason of helping the President of Afghanistan be more than the Mayor of Kabul, I would run the railroads through Kabul. You would want to run a railroad north from Kabul to each of the 'stans on the northern border. You would want to run a railroad south to the Khyber Pass and also farther west to Baluchistan. You would want to run a railroad east to the Chinese border and west to the border of Iran.
Building these railroads would connect the Indian/Pakistani railroad system into the Soviet Union railroad system. It would allow oil from the Caspian to be delivered to Pakistan, India and western China. It would allow goods from China and India to be transported by rail to Europe. It would give China, India, Caspian oil producers and Europeans a financial incentive to see that things remain calm and stable in Afghanistan. Whether that stability is achieved by money or thugs is not that important to the United States. The important thing is that it happens.
At this point, it is probably too late for that sort of approach.

Yeah, some ranges don't have anything closer but it is a really poor idea to have beginning pistol shooters trying to shoot at that sort of range. They are not training for the Olympics, they are trying to gain a practical skill and there are very few real life occasions where people shoot pistols at 25 yards.
If they had an option to let people shoot at closer targets, I would compare that kind of jackassery to giving a first time shooter a .44 magnum in order to laugh at them as they react to the recoil. The goal ought to be to teach the students rather than to provide yuks and ego strokes to the teacher.
