In Soviet AoSHQ ONT, the comments entertain the Blog!
I've just checked into my hotel for the night, and saw there was no ONT on deck and a missive from Maetenloch for a fill in. So here comes a really crappy stripped-down ONT.
First though, a rant: There are ants on my hotel-room desk.
Ants I said. I'm pretty brand-loyal, but this chain has one marque that has really gone off the rails.
I'm not one to name names, so let's just call it ArriottMay YortCard. They've stopped with the free breakfasts and the free coffee in the lobby, and instead they've installed "Bistros" in all their lounges. They claim polling showed people didn't want free coffee 24-7 and a breakfast buffet, and instead wanted to wait in line in the morning for microwave shit on a shingle and the crappy Arbucksstay Creosote in a cup that everyone is brain-washed into thinking is Gen-U-Ine good joe!
The hell I say. I've had better coffee from a gas-station at 2 a.m.
/Rant off.
So everyone talks the talk. "They took er jobs! Ahm goin Galt!"
Allow the most interesting man in Chile to retort: "I rarely claim I am going Galt. But when I do, I don't fuckin' pussyfoot around a timetable. And I don't come back!"
I have no idea of that embed script is going to work, and I'm not going to spend all night trying to make it work -- so if nothing else, the video is here:

Anyone else just get their concealed carry permit? Mine came in the mail last week, and I am in the market for either a .380 or 9mm. Checking out the Ruger LCP & LC9. I like the Taurus TCP as well. I love the idea of pocket carry, which the .380's are perfect for, but I also can't deny that a 9 has just a bit more oomph.
Here's a vid with a comparison between 4 micro .380's. I'm not a fan of the Kel-Tecs myself, but I know they have their proponents.
At the risk of starting a longbow-vs-crossbow debate, give me your best arguments for your favorite conceal weapon. And no, a Mossberg 500 doesn't count.
Yes, I have at least one other handgun right now *, but it's a little larger than I'm comfortable carrying in the summertime.
This post has been brought to you by fair warnings.
* Call me crazy, but I'm just not all that comfortable listing what I might or might not own in public forums anymore. I reserve the right to say in some dark future "Oh no, I sold that firearm years ago", and let the prove otherwise.

Okay, here's the beginning of the introduction to part one of the List O'Reasons Why The Horde Can't Have Nice Things. The rest of the convoy is on their way with the remainder of part one. Monty's busy trying to convince those nice Ukrainian gentlemen to loan us some of the fleet to haul over part two.

"Live Action’s undercover journalist went to a Bronx abortion clinic to discuss the potential outcomes of a 23-week abortion — that’s nearly 6 months along — and got the kind of advice that one would expect from Kermit Gosnell himself:"
Here is one of the "people" the JEF asked God to bless...
“Like, what if it was twitching?” asked the pregnant woman.
“The solution will make it stop,” said the clinic employee. “That’s the whole purpose of the solution . . . It will automatically stop. It won’t be able to breathe anymore.”
As for any qualms a woman might have about seeing her newborn child being poisoned and drowned in a jar, the employee advised her “patient” not to worry: She’d be under sedation, and the murder would take place in another room anyway.
The employee said, humorously, that “the doctor” is “not gonna wake you up and be like, ‘Hey, excuse me, you have—’ ”
The sentence was left unfinished, too unthinkable even for a euphemism. There’s no polite way to say, “You have just given birth, but we will murder the child.”

This is going back to Ruger. Also, I have a Ruger SP101 that I had to send back. I'm pissed.
My go to CCW gun is a Smith & Wesson 642 CT. It is an airweight, hammerless. 38 spl +P rated revolver. It works flawlessly and would be a fine summer time hand gun.

Indeed. Being Canuckian, our federal registry is all but scrapped, but I do not trust my bureaucratic betters to follow all that pesky 'legislation' and that inconvenient 'rule of law'.
So I plan on losing a shitload of crap in a tragic ice fishing accident.

That's always good fun. If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been playing online?
I've been doing PartyPoker for around six years now, and played PS off and on for the past year. Way more options with PS, but just got used to playing PP.
I enjoy taking easy money from clueless Eurotrash.

Well, this afternoon I found out that my nearly-2-year-old cousin has been kidnapped and taken to Egypt by her mother. My uncle had gotten a legal injunction to prevent his ex-wife from taking his daughter out of country and had her passport in the bargain, so evidently said ex-wife forged a passport.
Yes, the ex-wife is a Muslim.

A little over a year. Nothing serious. I just have the cheap tournaments on when I'm doing monotonous stuff on the computer.
I have a small bankroll I won in a few games on a couple of different days when I killed 12 beers (Labatts), which apparently made me more patient or something.

so how many of you are getting the "poor unsuspecting Muslims harrassed in public in our fair city by mean old white" stories this weekend? I've seen a few for my area. I am assuming the order has gone out to gin these up so we all atone for our cruel treatment of Muslims and pay no attention to the actual atrocities they cause.

Of course if the room has ants maybe the breakfast buffet wouldn't have been all that awesome anyway. Unless you like your waffles with a side of ant.

Is there anything he can do? I'm assuming the Egyptian govt is no help?
Only found out less than 24 hours ago - he says he has contacted law enforcement, but really has no idea what to do next. Some of the folks on facebook were advising him to contact the consulate, and there is evidently a department devoted to these sort of situations, but just a few days ago Fox had an article about a woman that had to go to Egyopt herself and snatch her son back - very similar situation to this one, just with the gender of the parents reversed.
I knew that my uncle had gotten involved with a Muslim woman (and a sketchy-sounding mosque), but I somehow missed that they were actually married for a couple years and had a daughter. It makes me wonder if my uncle didn't actually convert - since his belief system seems to be dictated by who he is married to at the moment (ex-wife is his fourth, ironically enough) it is quite possible.

Either Joker Junior agreed with all of it, or else there are more people in his Muslim-Brotherhood "culture center" who knew and were ready to whack him if he didn't follow through.
I'm leaning toward the latter. So if he's a "victim" he needs to sing about who victimised him.

Here's an example of how dreadfully slow Game of Thrones is progressing.
I just watched ep. 3 and I hated to see Jamie lose his hand. It's been so long that I forgot that I once hated Jamie Lannister and wanted to see him quite dead.
Right?

Eh, whatever. I've accepted the AoS commenting reality.
So 4 times a year eh? I admire your fortitude. Minus the actual alcohol, sounds like a Presbyterian taking communion.

in weird news the guy who packed the parachute that was subsequently supposedly used by DB Cooper was found dead of an apparent homicide at his rural Woodinville home.
Probably end up being some druggie who killed him for money and nothing to do with the DB Cooper element.

the actor who plays 'The Hound' must've had dental work done because now he speaks with an impediment like he has dentures. Sounds ridiculous.
Plus, he's another one I hated, we all hated, and now we can't remember why because the reasons to hate him were two friggin years ago!

I wouldn't actually call him a sumbitch, naturally, I'd be very sweet, but I wouldn't be in that room for the night.
Back when I was young and stupid, I stayed at a hotel in Florida and there was a damned cockroach in the overhead light fixture. I called down, and the guy came up, and he said, I quote, "Oh, that's just a waterbug."
Young and stupid. I rejected the evidence of my own senses, shrugged it off, and only later found out that "waterbug" is what Floridians call cockroaches. I was taken, but good.
If that guy were working at the Ant Hotel, he would have claimed that those desk ants were the nanobots that produced the hotel Wi-Fi.

Both HK are a bit heavier, but for concealed you want stopping power.

Cock roaches -known the world over, I suppose
Waterbugs- Big, black (is that racist?) friggin cockroaches that are outside bugs that wander in occasionally in the South, at least. They wait for my wife in the kitchen. They don't fuck with me for some reason.
Palmetto Bugs- Fucking miniature T. Rex. Our Lowcountry Morons from SC to FL are on a first name basis with these critters. They don't die easy, and firearms can be useful.

Assuming you're signed up for a course at a range and not some guy's house (not that I'm knocking that), they will have loads of various types for you to try and train on. Try as many as you can. First gun I ever fired was a Ruger GP100 double action revolver with a 6 inch barrel. Think I frightened the instructors a bit by picking it out of the selection.

I usually carry a Glock Mod.36 in a Tauris ankle holster. The Glock is a .45 and has very nice ergonomics for me. I have fired hundreds of rounds through it and have found it to be very reliable. The Mod.36 is not much bigger than a large .380, such as the Walther PPK/S I sold to get the Glock.
When I wear a pair of shorts in the summer, I will switch to a Berretta Tomcat in .32ACP and carry it in a pocket holster. The .32 is a bit anemic, but the Tomcat is tiny and a mouse-gun is better than no gun.

Posted by: The Political Hat at April 28, 2013 10:37 PM (Vk2pI)
Going Green = Going Third World
Yes, exactly. Conserve water, conserve power = third world poverty. The American Way is to f'ing figure out how to make more! Hell, water doesn't disappear, and power can be made from atoms. Just because the Left's religion requires phony shortages and privations doesn't mean we all have to wear their hair shirt.
A tip about tips: I make it a point to leave a buck or two (depending on the level of the hotel) for Housekeeping every day. When I do that, they ALWAYS wash the sheets and towels, whatever the stupid "Go Green" laminated card says.

I believe that's why bed bugs are such a huge problem again. As a civilization, we've voluntarily decided to take a step backwards by no longer killing them as we once did.
One of many civilizational steps backwards...

Ok, let's do hotel horror stories.
I shit you not. Stayed in a....Quality Inn maybe?....in Niagara Falls (Canadian side) and there was a bee infestation. Not the BEES!!
I fucking lost it. Comedy wise I mean. They were coming out of light fixtures, dying in the stairwells.....sweet Holy Fuck, I laughed my ass off....probably because I was there for a work related Slo-Pitch tournament and I was drunk as fuck the entire time.
I'm pretty sure we ended up staying for free....although I couldn't swear to that in a court of law. But I do recall having several exciting conversations with management.
Good times.

When confronted, the goblin raised the crowbar at Lonnie, and charged him.
Lonnie shot him twice, center-mass with the .380 Winchester silver tips.
The large man charged him and chased him for almost a block, with the crowbar, before he realized he was dead, as Lonnie had shot him twice in the heart...

As for concealed, I second someone who said waaaaaaaaaaay up early that an H&K 2000 is nice. I have the subcompact, and it's a nice shot, easy mag release too. I've shot many a bottle of Val-U-Rite out of a hobos hand and it never seems to miss.

Kidding aside, as a whole I don't mind, but it gets fairly ridiculous with some of them (eg. when the 'grunt' is a moan that lasts about two seconds and has three syllables)

turkey on Thanksgiving? I only saw it once on television and I remember
the soldiers roaring with approval. It made me feel good and I would
like to see it again. I've tried googling for it, but GWB is completely
poisoned in the Google search if you know what I mean. Thanks in

The filter blocked my attempt to link but look for
"George W Bush Thanksgiving in Iraq video" on CSPAN. It is strangely hard

So...when we got concealed carry here in Ohio I sent my trusty beat to hell Hi-Power to Wayne Novack's gun shop for reliability and accuracy work (pretty much required for all older Hi-Powers' and 1911s'). He also made it very...very pretty. I wouldn't be ashamed to go to a Sunday Texas Barbeque with that pistol.
This is not advise, just my experience.

yeah I played the wii version first, then got the game cube version and played it on the Wii with the game cube control. That swinging the controller shit was for the birds. Skyward sword was pretty cool though, they seemed to smooth out the controller movements with that game.

But keep in mind I was getting these for ten bucks or less. A five dollar game doesn't have to be great to be worthwhile if it does something interesting. The only remaining items for the Wii to be acquired are Mario Galaxy 2, the 2D Mario entry, some of the RPGs Dude listed and that is it. And I may never get any of those if the price isn't right.
I have way too much cheap but good stuff lying around to even think of paying more.

For .380 I really like the CA 83. When I find a CZ 82/83 in 9mm Mak, I'll get one of those.
For reliability and looks, the Beretta 84/85 can't be beat.
I've had and traded three different Walther PPK/PPKs in the last four years. Darn things are works of art, but do not fit my hand. Yet I'll probably get another one day, because

OTOH, I know people who travel a lot for work but it's all flying and they're given almost no time before or after, so they hardly see any of the places they go. I know one guy who did IT for Carnival Cruise lines. They fly him to Italy to meet a ship in port and immediately had him installing the new stuff. Less than twelve hours after finishing he was on another plane back here.

Just finished 2 pretty good Docs on WW I in which they did digs on the Western Front and uncovered some of the old trench lines both German and Brit. This after 90 + years and they found some fairly intact ramparts and some remains of men who died there. After I finished with this, I went outside to see Saturn and.......fog city.

They intend to get an update like this out annually and a major new version every three years. So there should be an 8.2 before Windows 9 starts being talked about.
Whether they charge existing Windows 8 user for this remains to be seen. It seems likely they'll release it as a freebie to rehabilitate the public image of Windows 8. Those expecting a return of the Windows 7 desktop should give up on that fantasy now. They'll compromise a bit but not that far. Much of the new stuff in Blue is really for making the touch side more functional, such as providing a more complete set of control panels using the Modern UI. Users of the Surface tablets have to use the desktop control panels for a lot of stuff and it can be a pain if you don't have suitable input devices connected.
But there is a Start button on the desktop. It takes you to the start screen, though, it doesn't pop up the old start menu.

You do realize there is absolutely zero relation between DOS on the Atari 8-bit systems and DOS on the PC? (Though there was a CP/M clone command line from OSS that a lot of people used.)
Also, Atari DOS was at 2.0 long before any of the XL models. There wasn't much reason to ever use the buggy 1.0 by that point. For myself, I rarely used the straight Atari DOS. I almost always used the modified versions like LJ Silver, that had a bunch of additional menu items that were handy.

It was primarily aimed at small businesses who had badly written old software that wouldn't behaved correctly under the security requirements that were enacted with Vista. A lot of stuff developers used to do was greatly frowned upon by Microsoft but they had a policy on non-interference with outside developers. But as most computers became connected tot he outside world it just wasn't acceptable any more, so a lot of recommendations became enforced laws under the newer OS releases.
A lot of businesses couldn't adopt Vista because they had evil old software. XP Mode created a virtual machine running XP within Windows 7. Once you installed an app on the virtual XP machine and had an icon on the Windows 7 desktop, you could fire up the app and it would appear to be running on Windows 7.
It was pretty slick. You could fire up the XP virtual machine and just work in XP but that was mainly for getting stuff installed or making needed adjustments. Another nice feature of XP Mode is that it could get a lot of hardware the didn't have Windows 7 support working. I have an old Canon Lide 30 scanner that the company stopped supporting after XP. By the time Win7 shipped they were about five generation on with the scanner hardware. I eventually got one of the newer models but found I could still use the old 30 under XP mode. I was impressed because a lot of virtual machine stuff then still didn't offer very support for hardware connected to the real machine.

Microsoft doesn't support XP Mode for Windows 8, as most of the problem software has long since been updated or replaced. But there are ways to get it working on Win8 if you have the need.

With regards to hand guns....
Someone once said that "A Wheelgun is like a fork," "You pick it up and it works."
Revolvers are often over-looked because they don't have the "Sexy" like semi-autos.
Look into a small or "J" frame type if your looking for a pocket carry.....you might be surprised and some of the offerings pack a MAJOR punch as with the .357 or .38+P loads. Given that most defensive shootings occur at under the standard "Combat Range" of 7 yards, if you need more than 5 rounds to take out a threat....you did not practice enough.....now taking down other types of threats, read...( )...Black Rifle and a 30 round mag + 4 mags in the coat pockets......minimum....such is the times we live in.

My mother worked at the Burroughs factory in Westlake Village, CA for many years. I worked there about a month before deciding I was not well suited for the job. The feeling was mutual and I jumped barely ahead of being pushed. Which is kind of funny considering how much I enjoy building PCs today.
Back in the day, DOS was a catch-all term for OS extensions that enable disk operations or a separate version of the OS entirely to support disks. So there were hundreds of completely distinct products that called themselves <something>-DOS. Usually the something was a brand name or a product line name if the company had multiple incompatible lines.
Add on top of the the zillions of DOS variant that were sort of related. Before IBM PC clones became the rule, there were a ton of machines sold, like the Burroughs B25, that ran MS-DOS but weren't compatible with stuff written for the IBM PC. Back then, Microsoft's core business was porting its languages to various machines, with producing variants of MS-DOS a close second.
Making a program written for the IBM work on your system was usually pretty easy but it also meant ignoring any of the nicer features of your machine. A lot of those MS-DOS machines were big improvements on the IBM, especially in graphics. (Some, like the Mindset, were comparable to the Amiga and had a common heritage of engineers who'd worked at Atari when the 800 chip set was designed.) But none of them ever caught on in a big way, though a few had dedicated followings. Once Compaq showed how to make a fully IBM compatible machine free of legal issues, it was all downhill for machines that ran MS-DOS but weren't IBM PC compatible.

Only for people incapable of learning new things or those who allow popular opinion to take the place of finding out for themselves.
I've been using Win8 almost daily for over a year. It took about 15 minutes to learn the new stuff and from there it was just a matter of practice to take advantage of the new stuff.
Are there things that could be improved? Of course. And they're working on it, which is why the point revision is in the works.
A lot of the complaints could have been blunted if not for the personal philosophy of Sinofsky, who resigned shortly before the launch. He thought it better to make a clean break in the software design than to invest a lot of time and cost into transition mitigation. Popular opinion went against him, as was already obvious before the launch. Sinofsky's ego won but Sinofsky ultimately lost. Rather than being in line to run the whole company someday, he is out of the company entirely.

Well no, wouldn't use the 17 for conceal carry. I'm still hunting options for that and working out just where I want to carry - i.e. where on my body. As a girl, I have the added option of purse carry (which I sometimes do) but I don't like the added stress of 'oh god what if I leave my purse somewhere' etc.

The gun-and-ammo-buying frenzy might create a discrepancy between what you want to buy and what's available. And if you find the pistol you want, will you find enough ammo with which to practice?
My hot summer pocket carry is a venerable Beretta 950. If you also purchase one of those pocket holsters, which keep your pistol clean and safe, yet allow a safe draw, you will not have to worry too much about pocket lint and such. Still clean your pistol regularly. As far as ammo goes, your pocket pistol will be a close-in protection weapon, and you will not shoot just one shot. Shot placement, not caliber, rules.
Whatever you buy, practice, practice, practice. And, before you go out, be sure that you have practiced your draw and presentation from that pair of pants, both standing and sitting.

CCW guns....take a Charter Arms .44 Bulldog, take off the target grips, put on a set of stock Undercover sliver grips, add a bobbed hammer, trim the barrel down even with the ejector rod, stuff it full of WW Silvertips, add a pocket holster, and buy a bag of ice and some Tylenol. Fire 24 round of the WW and apply ice to you hand, take two Tylenol and call me in the morning. The last time I fired it at an indoor range, the rangemaster called a cease fire, and scolded me for firing a non allowed 454 Casull in the lane. Showed him the fired cases. He just muttered something about "morons", and walked away.
Another favorite trick with this is to load up some black powder loads for it. Just don't get the indoor and the outdoor ammo mixed up. Sigh...banned from ANOTHER range.....
