For kids under age 20 unemployment nearly is at Grapes of Wrath levels. And that doesn't even tell the full story, because so many of them are not counted for the unemployment rate, since they're not bothering to search for work.
Of course the irony will be lost on that demographic. And in '16 an overwhelming majority of them reflexively will vote against the Republican and in favor of whomever the Dems nominate. Again, without grasping the irony.

LPGA rookie Daniela Holmqvist was participating in a pre-qualifier for the ISPS Handa Australian Open at Royal Canberra Golf Club in Yarralumla, Australia. On the fourth hole Holmqvist felt a sharp pain in her ankle, and she looked down to see a Black Widow spider on her leg. Holmqvist swatted the bug away, but before she knew it she was doubled over in pain.
Her caddies told her that the venom from a Black Widow can sometimes kill a child in half an hour, so Holmqvist knew she had to act fast. With her leg swelling, Holmqvist reached into her pocket and pulled out a tee. She quickly cut open her skin and squeezed the venom out.
Amazingly, Holmqvist played on through her pain, shooting a 74 on the day. Medics followed her around the course to make sure she didn't pass out.

of the Union address of his second term, with a stripped-down economic
prescription that bore the scars of four years marked by frustration.
The White House promised a fiery speech on jobs and the economy.
It was expected to be a progressive vision for a second term, built on
pillars of American manufacturing, innovation, and education.
That was small ball. Perhaps the president can't play any other game on
the economy, not with a Republican-controlled House and a divided Senate
that aren't inclined to approve any new spending measures, at all,
period.
Poor widdle Barry, those mean Republicans are going to let him unleash his grand plans for the country. He just can't fix the economy or save the country because of those meanies.

They're about to look at the Fred Silverman era as "the good times" the way things are going.
IMHO, they've been coasting ever since the Thursday lineup of Friends, Seinfeld, and ER made them the #1 network in the mid-90s, with them being unable to create a lot of hits to replace those shows when they were put out to pasture.

So, y'all know I'm getting my CHL (class in 10 days), and I have to say- as a newbie to some of the minutia of concealed carry, it's sometimes hard to find what you need, often because (as Don Rumsfeld might say) of not knowing what you don't know.
Case in point: the mechanics of concealed carry. I'm looking at various concealed holsters, and I'm sort of at a loss. I know I want a behind the back holster. One, I'm a pretty big guy, so I think that'll give me the best concealment when I'm not wearing a jacket (I go for the untucked button-down shirt look). Two, I don't like things touching my legs (in general). I don't even keep my wallet or keys in my pocket unless I have to.
Now, it looks like my options here come in three varieties: nylon "one-size-fits-several" holsters, leather holsters, or plastic holsters. All of these come as Inside the Waistband or Outside the Waistband varieties.
I don't like the nylon ones because I'm concerned about how they'll fall on the nexus of security (I don't want the gun just falling out, after all) and convenience (I don't want to waste time fumbling with it, either).
I like the leather ones, but the cheapest leather I can find is pushing $100.00, and I'd druther not spend that.
I like the security-convenience nexus of the plastic ones, but they all seem more bulky than I think would be useful.
Now, the correct answer, of course, would be to take my handgun, fit it into several of these options, and try them out. Put them on my belt and see how they fit, how easy they are to draw, etc. Second best would be having an experienced gunowner walking me through the pros and cons, and loaning me a holster to try out for a day or so (around my own home, since it would be illegal to carry concealed outside the house until I've officially got my permit). As it is, I'm just having to kind of guess, and hope I'm not wasting my money. I'm a cheapskate. I hate wasting money.
Which brings me to my point (if you've followed this far): how much of a market do you think there is for this kind of information? I can see a gun-store specializing in concealed-carry. Not just by providing CHL classes, but also carrying a line of clothing designed for concealed carry, having a variety of holsters that potential customers can try on to see how they like them, etc. Anyone else think that might be a good idea?

Which brings me to my point (if you've followed this far): how much of a market do you think there is for this kind of information? I can see a gun-store specializing in concealed-carry. Not just by providing CHL classes, but also carrying a line of clothing designed for concealed carry, having a variety of holsters that potential customers can try on to see how they like them, etc. Anyone else think that might be a good idea?
Posted by: AllenG (Dedicated Tenther) Channelling Breitbart at February 13, 2013 09:53 AM (8y9MW)
I think it's a great idea, particularly as more women conceal carry. It's been an issue for me in the past because I'm not a fan of huge purses and I get really fussy about behind the back holders. Being able to try something on would be great.
Listening to Glen Beck talk about "growing his company". Why doesn't he open his company up to small investors via a kickstarter.
I can't remember where I found it but I was reading a really interesting article on kickstarter and corporate governance. Since kickstarter is starting to take off outside the arts realm, it raises all kinds of fascinating issues concerning who is the actual owner of a business when there's fractional contributions outside of traditional shares format. There is going to be some nasty nasty litigation about this quite soon, I bet.

pre-qualifier for the ISPS Handa Australian Open at Royal Canberra Golf
Club in Yarralumla, Australia. On the fourth hole Holmqvist felt a
sharp pain in her ankle, and she looked down to see a Black Widow spider
on her leg. Holmqvist swatted the bug away, but before she knew it she
was doubled over in pain.
Her caddies told her that the venom
from a Black Widow can sometimes kill a child in half an hour, so
Holmqvist knew she had to act fast. With her leg swelling, Holmqvist
reached into her pocket and pulled out a tee. She quickly cut open her
skin and squeezed the venom out.
Amazingly, Holmqvist played on
through her pain, shooting a 74 on the day. Medics followed her around
the course to make sure she didn't pass out.

It's perfect and all you need is the plunger, some ground coffee and boiled water

Somebody suggested Panther Concealment, and that's probably the way I'll go. The point was more general though. It could be applied to other things besides the holster itself.
What clothes do you wear/how do you dress to look a) professional and b) not like you're carrying a gun?
Different holsters fit better on different size belts, and most folks (at least most guys) have two or more belts (I have a dress belt in black, one in brown, and a work/casual belt): do I need three different holsters?
I want casual clothing that's also good for concealed carry, but I don't want to go around in big, baggy shirts all the time. My CC weapon is too big for an inside the pocket or an ankle holster- what are my options?
And so forth.
I'm thinking this store would also employ (or have available) a tailor who works custom fitting clothes to help with concealed carry.

Rumors of Sidney Lumet's death were greatly exaggerated.
...
I'm seeing a lot of preemptive bemoaning, but really, you don't have to worry about "Hollywood" making a saint's-life movie about this guy. Lumet's the only one who had the artistic skills to have done it. Consider:
It's a go. OK! First script outline...and whoever wants to make the "antihero" version of the story realizes he has to put a scene in it where the protagonist kills a woman who's only in the story to get killed--and get killed as somebody's daughter. Nope.
Lumet could have found a way over that hump while keeping the audience/character bond intact (though strained and weird). Nobody alive can.
Maybe Cronenberg. But he wouldn't. The story's too boring, has no metaphorical charge to it.
Or William Friedkin. But he's dead, too. Artistically.
Unless Tarantino uses a version of this guy's story as a coatrack to hang a tribute to those directors on--a Dog Day Afternoon/Rampage/Videodrome mashup--there's not going to be a movie.
(And he'd make the dude gay. His manifesto was basically a list of celebrities he likes. That's gay.)
Posted by: oblig. at February 13, 2013 10:15 AM (cePv8)
He was a rock solid individual (still my role model).
In 1920 he hopped on a train and traveled to his uncle's place where he learned how to ranch. By 1927, he was riding an Indian motorcycle joining wheat harvest from Texas to Canada. Census puts him in Chicago in 1930. In 1937, he was back in town and was friends with my grandfather, who shot himself in the foot accidentally while bootlegging as a side job for extra cash -- he worked for the railroad.
Since my dad "grew up" as a cowboy in the '20s and "matured" in WWII, the article on the twenties mentally fills in some gaps I've never actually been able to connect. I may have to read up on that period.

Bacon used to be a "camp food" and I'm pretty sure they didn't use dry ice. Not sure how well it would work for backpacking, because I'm pretty sure you'd need the whole (or at least a big chunk) of the bacon (the cut, not sliced bacon) for it to cure properly.

Allen, as a 14 year veteran of a Tx CHL, trust me when I say that no one concealed carry mode is the best. They all have their shortcomings. Behind the back? Great concealment until you sit down and shove the gun into your spine. Especially in a car seat.
Inside the Waist Band? Probably the most comfortable with less concealment/leading to more awareness.

offering free signed copies to 'I will put you in my novel.' I walked
away.
Actually, I don't have a problem with that. Maybe not the "put you in my novel" bit, but you're asking people for money. It's only right that you offer them something of value in return.
For instance: Reaper Miniatures here in North Texas creates new lines of minis from time to time. When they do, they'll often do a kick-starter: $X buy in gets you something (usually some of the new minis). $Y buy in (where: Y > X) gets you something else (usually what X gets you, and then some).
Real "angel investors" essentially buy your company. They're hoping for an ROI in terms of money. People helping you through kick-starter also want some ROI, though they're normally willing to accept a lot less than an actual investor would.

Sounds like one of the more erudite topics on the ONT. My only other complaint about a french press is that the coffee cools down somewhat quickly compared to other brewing systems. Since I take drink coffee when I listen to the stereo in my attic, where it can get pretty chilly, I end up using an insulated cup with a lid.

concealed carry mode is the best. They all have their shortcomings.
I understand that. In fact, it was my point.
I'm comfortable enough with the choices I'm making regarding my concealed carry. What I'm asking is if the Horde thinks a business- specifically a gun store/firing range- that chose as its niche catering to concealed carry customers- including lots of help/advice for new CHL licensees, to just making sure they carry a full range of equipment for those with more experience- would be worth looking into and maybe starting.

It took Mrs VIA over a year to convince me that she would not kill me if I bought one.
Now, I am required by household law to brew an additional pot daily for her to take into work for the staff.

While my wife gets ready for work she likes to watch/listen to the local morning news show that features some late 20 somethings who are libs. I know this because periodically I will wake up and yell at the TV. This morning however, they were actually talking more about Rubio's speech than TFG's. Yeah they laughed about the water thing, but then they brought up his tweet that I think had a pic of a water bottle or something and they really laughed at that. The thing is, they weren't laughing in MSNBC way, they were acting kinda excited talking about him. Have no idea what that means, but there was nothing negative said about Rubio.

Yup. Exactly. Although...their carafe sucks. I ended up replacing it with a Nissan like they use at Starbucks.

This is where the litigation is going to come in with kickstarter. Muir is very clear that what you are doing is donating and then he's doing the equivalent of the PBS tote bag for donation levels. You aren't buying into anything, it's explicitly a donation. There's not much room for confusion there.
Kickstarter is not a donation. I am giving funds to a person/group/company in order for them to create a product that they are going to turn around and sell. It's not a donation, it's some type of investment. Maybe. Possibly. Take the miniatures example above. If you put in x dollars you will receive y product. Well, how should that be classified? A purchase? Some type of investment? Is it the equivalent of joining a fan club and paying x dollars to receive a calendar and a download and advance access to tickets?
Where it gets incredibly murky are the people trying to use kickstarter as venture capital for a business. That slams into all kinds of state and federal regs that people are just now starting to consider in relation to kickstarter.
I have no idea how all of that will play out, but it is pushing the envelope of what is a donation, what is an investment, what is a fan club and what is venture capital. I'm interested to see how it all plays out.

The "diligent" reporter followed her home. Yep, it was Dorner's mom.
I'm trying to wrap what's left of my mind around a woman going out to a restaurant and watching her kid, no matter how evil/fucked up, dying on live TV while she munches on chips and salsa. o_O

Yes, but remember that there are different qualities of wines.
It could have been Mouton Rothchild or Boone's Farm, depending upon the restaurant.

The report said it was white wine with salsa and chips.
Wouldn't one go with red wine in that situation?

Exactly my point.
With the LSM's history of bad reporting, I question the layers of fact checking that went into a report that shows the pairing of a white wine with salsa..

They still blew an opportunity, for which they were punished in 2006, to rein in government's excesses. Plus you're understating the influence of the squishes, who'd helped run Noot out of office and had the relatively compliant Hastert in place to open the government pocketbook with minimum resistance and complicity with the White House.

---I would think white wine with chips and salsa though it could depend on the type of salsa. Red wine would seem to be appropriate if watching your son roasting in a mountain hut. But, really, it just comes down to personal preference. That's the beauty of a free market system and an a la carte menu.

A crowd in Papua New Guinea took time out from a witch burning to check
out the Dorner situation. They said "Jeez - those LAPD guys are nasty"
You got most of the translation correct except that nasty was actually "tasty."

ONT. My only other complaint about a french press is that the coffee
cools down somewhat quickly compared to other brewing systems. Since I
take drink coffee when I listen to the stereo in my attic, where it can
get pretty chilly, I end up using an insulated cup with a lid.
Posted by: Captain Hate at February 13, 2013 10:35 AM (JiOnd)
I am not a coffee snob. What makes coffee taste good is the circumstances attending its consumption. Grounds-y coffee made in an enamel percolator on a Coleman stove tastes just great when you awaken after a night on hard ground in a cold tent in the mountains.
At home, I use cone-style filter coffee maker with a stainless-mesh reusable filter; works just fine. The wellsite shacks at work are provided, usually, with basket-filter coffee makers, this one here being a Black Decker. (wonders if the ampersand will render) And, sin of sins, I microwave the left-over coffee the next day, and actually enjoy it! Drinking one as I type.
This particular bag of coffee, I bought for about three dollars and change at a supermarket in Granada, Nicaragua, in December. It's not bad at all. Sad to report, though, that the rum I bought at the same time, and brought home as my duty-free allotment, all evaporated in a prolonged and tragic accident.

Maybe she was hungry? And seeing as it was probably on just about every TV channel available besides the Home Shopping channel, how could she avoid it? And I sort of expect he was already dead to her, anyway.

Social services are strained to the breaking point, and one of the reasons for that is that a large group of consumers of said services are not paying for them in taxes. If the law were enforced, this strain would dissapear. Not only that, but employers would have to employ Americans at American wages. While the cost of some goods and services would rise, millions of jobs would be opened to Americans during an economic crisis, and the new taxpayers created by such actions would serve to shore up the system.
We can accept the death of party, financial solvency, and way of life inherent to Amnesty, or we can enforce the law and put America on a more prosperous trajectory with the only losers being lawbreakers and those who have benefitted from flouting the law.
Why aren't we making the obvious choice?
