Which appears to be at least a replica of a 37mm anti-tank cannon. This item came with a '46 Willys jeep, but the owner has no use for it. All the details here, plus the asking price is $350.
Now when the thug waves a knife and demands your watch, wallet, and cell phone, you hand him your watch, drop your wallet, and while he's diving for your wallet, pull out your cell phone and give it to him. Repeatedly, if necessary.
When I recover the URL for their discussion board, I'll put the link here.
If I'm employed in time for this, I believe I'll try to go. A local outfit wants to talk to me about a manufacturing engineering position. Everybody think positive thoughts.Join Us For The 7th Annual Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms Party

FDR was elected four straight times, and more than once without ever having brought unemployment down to single digits. An economic disaster does not necessarily mean a political disaster. If we could raise the average level of understanding of economics to what Alfred Marshall had in 1890, the vast majority of politicians would be voted out of office."Suggesting that if you're considering a career in politics, while majoring in Poly-Sci, you would do well to see about a minor in economics. Money, like leaves on trees, grows on taxpayers, but if you pluck too many leaves, the trees die, or at least move to a lower tax environment.Thomas Sowell, interviewed in Reason magazine.
is a barrel I'm helping a friend with. The bore, at the back, is .75" dia x 6.5" length, then expands over the next 9 inches to 1-3/4".
Is made from a 3/4-16 UNF high strength bolt, drilled thru at 1/8", then tapped 1/4-28 for the nipple, and center drilled on the inside. This causes the powder to fall into a recess that will hold it right under the percussion cap, and improve the reliability of firing.
Wood will be added at some point, and some kind of lock, but since that's not my department on this one, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for pictures or a report of what 16 dimes did to the backstop.
"Rather than keep us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security," Obama said. "It is a rallying cry for our enemies. It sets back the willingness of our allies to work with us in fighting an enemy that operates in scores of countries. By any measure, the costs of keeping it open far exceed the complications involved in closing it. That is why I argued that it should be closed throughout my campaign. And that is why I ordered it closed within one year."
Several of the suspects have previously been arrested on drug charges and may have converted to Islam in prison, authorities said.I have never heard of anyone converting to Islam and deciding to take up jihad while interned at Gitmo. All those folks were born to it. If Obie wants to reduce terrorist recruiting, perhaps he should consider segregating the US prisons and setting up some Islam-only institutions to try to quarrentine the "Mecca flu".

NOTE: This thing is a Corbin Sparrow electric vehicle made near San Jose CA. It never did sell very well, and eventually was sold to Meyers Motors, and then faded out. One was available at the battery plant where I worked, but before my time there. My co-workers who got a chance to drive it described it as "scary" notably if the speed limit was over 40 mph. I liked the platform and thought it would be fun with enough power, and sure enough, the thing has been produced with the batteries removed, and replaced with a 1000cc Harley Davidson engine, which reputedly gives this little go-kart a top speed of 130 mph. Probably gets 50 mpg, too.
This is a 4 foot length of 4" dia ABS pipe from Lowes, who sell the stuff conveniently pre-cut to length. The bucket is a household cleaning bucket, filled with water. The pipe is secured to the fence with a small bungee cord so it won't tip over.
Splish splash, they'll be takin' a bath, and drown in fairly short order. Disposal is up to you, but in my neighborhood, there is a family of foxes who will carry away any freshly dead small animals overnight.
Air is added through a schrader valve located near the rear, on the bottom of the plenum fitting
Opening the valve at the rear allows the internal piston to retract, dumping the plenum through the barrel. There is a spring behind the piston to return it to the forward position. The piston has a rubber sheet glued to it to seal against the back of the barrel.
Note that without the pork, unemployment was projected to max out at about 9%, whereas if all that pork was funded, the rate would top out at a mere 8%. Look what spending $3T can buy you.A few weeks ago, the prediction for an upturn was set for mid 09, or end of second / beginning of 3rd quarter. Now they're moving it out.President Obama’s chief economics forecaster said on Sunday that the country was not likely to see positive employment growth until 2010, even if the economy began to grow later this year.
Speaking on C-SPAN, Christina Romer, chairwoman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said that she expected the G.D.P. to begin growing in the fourth quarter of this year. Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, made a similar prediction last week.
Even though CNBC is reviled by actual traders for peddling barely usable info after its usefulness is over, the lack of information on other stations will really stand out in comparison.What can I say?
Running on 100% US produced corn based ethanol, and with an improved top speed of 35 mph, the 2010 Chrysler "Le Paisan" will replace the bourgeois Le Baron, and become required for purchase by all Americans not in possession of a valid membership card in a state-approved labor union.
The cool factor is significant on this one, and it's enough to convince me to at least consider starting work on an AC voltage rail gun which could become a fully automatic rail gun, done properly.When charming leftists stick their nose into things they don't understand they become ratchet-jawed purveyors of monkey-doodle and baked wind. They are piddlers upon merit, beggars at the door of accomplishment, thieves of livelihood, envy coddling tax lice applauding themselves for giving away other people's money. They are the lap dogs of the poly sci-class, returning to the vomit of collectivism. They are pig herders tending that sow-who-eats-her-young, the welfare state. They are muck-dwelling bottom-feeders growing fat on the worries and disappointments of the electorate. They are the ditch carp of democracy.RTWT. P.J. is one of my favorite writers. Everybody should run out and buy one or two of his books. Do not drink expensive booze while reading them, as the spray will wast the booze, and make the pages hard to read.
DHS may not be amused, but I see a real marketing opportunity here for some fast-moving capitalist.
Proposed congressional legislation would demand up to two years in prison for those whose electronic speech is meant to “coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to a person.”This thing has attracted 14 co-sponsors already. Admittedly its chances of seeing the light of day out of committee are essentially zero, but still, it's stuff like this that makes a fellow wonder if there shouldn't be some kind of competency test for elective office.
Article [of Amendment 1] — [Limits of Federal Power]He proposes replacing the income tax with a federal sales tax which would hit everybody. I lean more toward the flat tax, but no matter what, this will also become known as the "full employment for lawyers" clause.
Congress shall make no law nor delegate any authority, pursuant to its powers in the eighth section of article I, respecting any activity confined within a single state, regardless of its effects outside the state or whether it employs instrumentalities therefrom; but Congress has power to reasonably regulate pollution between one state and another, and to define and provide for punishment of offenses constituting acts of war or violent insurrection against the United States.
Article [of Amendment 4] — [Recision Power of States]essentially gives the states a final veto over whatever the Feds do. In practice this was the reason that Senators were originally appointed by the legislatures of the states and not directly elected. A popularly elected Senator is functionally no different from a representative, except that since he controls a larger chunk of the federal pie, his price is higher.
Upon application of the legislatures of two thirds of the states, any law, regulation or order of the United States shall be rescinded.
"Although human beings do not enjoy eating dog food, they are also not able to distinguish its flavor profile from other meat-based products that are intended for human consumption."and a bottle of Shaw's California Chardonnay, also known as "two-buck Chuck".
The lesson? Presentation matters. Expectations matter. And, perhaps, that organic dog food is better than you think.
The Chardonnay received 98 points, a double gold, with accolades of Best of California and Best of Class.All this for no more than what you can make by 1/2 hour of panhandling on a moderately busy street corner. So watch old Bowser carefully as you serve up his kibble. what he eats with enthusiasm today will be your gourmet entree in a few years.
Bon appitit!
The article goes on to suggest that proper ID be required when voting, and I think the author isn't being emphatic enough. We should be demanding, in loud and unambiguous terms that such safeguards be put into place.First of all, a consultant told the audience that some of his opponents would bus into a polling location, hand them a sheet with a name and address on it, have them vote, then take them to location after location where they do the same thing. So, if you're wondering what harm those phony voter registration groups like ACORN collect -- well, now you know.
Another person, who had volunteered to be a poll watcher, told everyone a story about how he saw someone walk into a polling station, go up to the registrar and ask to vote. She asked for his name and address and he said, "Come on, I thought you were going to hook me up!" The poll watcher then stepped in and told the guy to get lost.
A third person, who was just a regular voter, told us this story about the person ahead of him in line to vote. He said the person walked up, told the registrar the street he lived on, and said my name's "Smith." The registrar said, "There's no Smith on that street." He then said, "How about Jones?" Again, the registrar said, "No, there's no Jones on that street." Next, he said, "How about Washington?" -- Long story short, the guy went through five different last names and on the 5th one, the registrar said, "Yes, I found you, sir, you can go vote."
Now, could all of these people be making these stories up? Sure, it's possible, but it doesn't seem very likely.
So just try and imagine that cap and trade works to your benefit instead of being a giant tax on your use of energy in any form, inflicted on you by shaggy-haired liberals. Clap your hands while you try to believe, and if you believe hard enough you will also bring Tinkerbell back to life.The term turns people off, fostering images of shaggy-haired liberals, economic sacrifice and complex scientific disputes, according to extensive polling and focus group sessions conducted by ecoAmerica, a nonprofit environmental marketing and messaging firm in Washington.
Instead of grim warnings about global warming, the firm advises, talk about “our deteriorating atmosphere.” Drop discussions of carbon dioxide and bring up “moving away from the dirty fuels of the past.” Don’t confuse people with cap and trade; use terms like “cap and cash back” or “pollution reduction refund.”
