GUNS: Woman and firearms

Just for women: 23 Truths about Firearms
*** begin quote ***
9. Your safety is your responsibility. Not your husband’s, nor the police, nor your kids.
*** and ***
11. If a gun isn’t possible or desirable in your circumstances, come up with Plan B. One of my friends keeps a baseball bat near the front seat of her minivan. Another always has the most powerful pepper spray on the market in her purse, and yet another keeps an 18″ length of steel rebar wedged between the driver’s seat of her car and the middle console. Whatever your choice, always be aware of the location of your weapon, practice using it, and be comfortable with the thought that one day you may have to use it.
12. Don’t listen to celebrities and politicians who go on hysterical anti-gun rants. Remember, they can afford armed bodyguards and state-of-the-art home security systems. (Interesting that it’s okay if their bodyguards are armed but they don’t think law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry guns.) I am my kid’s armed bodyguard.
*** and ***
Are there any other truths I’ve missed?
*** end quote ***
The three S’s? (Shoot, shovel, and shutup!)
“Gun control” = “Victim Disarmament”
“Victim disarmament is the view that it is somehow better to see a woman raped in an alley and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand.” — T.D. Melrose
The woman who’s hunted can become the hunter.
“God made men and women; Sam Colt made them equal.”
“Gun control has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with control.” — Mark Steyn
“For the cost of one of those expensive phones, one person could have ended this shooting spree.” referring to the Norwegian massacre. Like most “shooting incidents”, disarmed people are allowed to be slaughtered. Misguide liberal fantasies prevent good honest people a fighting chance to defend themselves.
Who, in their right mind, would want to be on receiving end of some crazy woman’s “pea shooter”? Even wearing a vest wouldn’t be a guarantee of safety. Ever seen how people shoot? While they may aim for the center of mass, that isn’t where the bullet always winds up.
You know the politicians have armed bodyguards. But that’s denied to the common folks — the Mundanes. Like the Warsaw Ghetto Jews. Waiting to be murdered.
Guns are just another tool.
And, as Heinlein wrote: “An armed society is a polite society.”

Hmmm?
Funny and cute.

In today’s environment, with malware, address book takeovers, and all sorts of concerns, who’s looking at e-cards?
Who can be sure of such things? There’s no Underwriters’ Laboratory for inet content and sites.
Hmmm, business model?

MEMORIES: Too bad Our Girl didn’t get to see …
Friday, October 21, 2011She was never a big fan of the movies. She’d go, but it’d have to be something really good.
New movies out … … “Mighty Macs”.
She told me all about the real Mighty Macs about the same time she explained the beauties of the pick and roll.
:-)
Makes me miss her even more.
If such was possible.

MONEY: Write your own receipts?
Thursday, October 20, 2011You know how “they say” “too late I get smart”.
(Where did my content go?)
# # # # #
My original content disappeared.
# # # # #
I realize that I’ve missed many tax deductions by not having a method to capture all these expenses.
So, finally, I was browsing in Staples and I spotted “rent receipts”. So now I am capturing it.
Too little too late. Better late than never.
For example, last Saturday, a neighbor came over with two cubs to sell popcorn. (Again!)
So, I signed up and paid up. There was no receipt. So, using my new tool, I wrote my own.
Original stays in the book for future reference if I need it. The copy goes into the tax folder.
If I have a receipt, I staple it on to the copy.
It’s all about data capture.
Wish I’d done it years ago.
Argh!

Are Democrats Eyeing 401(k)s, IRAs for Tax Hit?
By JOHN MERLINE, INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY
Posted 10/12/2011 02:53 PM ET
*** begin quote ***
Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board suggested cutting or ending the retirement tax deduction to pay for an expanded Saver’s Credit, which is now targeted at low-income workers.
Obama’s National Economic Council chairman, Gene Sperling, also has endorsed scrapping the tax deduction in favor of a refundable tax credit.
Baucus hasn’t endorsed any specific change, but said at the hearing that “we need to look for ways to do more with less.”
*** end quote ***
When these “addicts” need money, they’ll steal wealth from anywhere.
Will this be the thing that gets “We, The Sheeple” off the couch?
They’ll keep trying until they get it.
Look at FDR’s gold confiscation!

TECHNOLOGY: The problem of a digital bookcase
Thursday, October 20, 2011Designing an infinite digital bookcase
Posted: 18 Oct 2011 12:29 PM PDT
(Cross-posted on the Google Code blog)
As digital designers, we often think about how to translate traditional media into a virtual space. Recently, we thought about the bookcase. What would it look like if it was designed to hold digital books?
A digital interface needs to be familiar enough to be intuitive, while simultaneously taking advantage of the lack of constraints in a virtual space. In this case, we imagined something that looks like the shelves in your living room, but is also capable of showcasing the huge number of titles available online—many more than fit on a traditional shelf. With this in mind, we designed a digital bookcase that’s an infinite 3D helix. You can spin it side-to-side and up and down with your mouse. It holds 3D models of more than 10,000 titles from Google Books.

I love the ability of reading books on the IPAD.
But, I’ve lost the ability of sharing a book with others.
And, it seems that everyone wants me to pay, re-pay, and pay again for the same content.
Ain’t going to happen! Can’t happen.
Reason #1: I can’t afford to buy all that content over again. Reason #2: Some of the content I want to have (i.e., Heinlein’s Starship Troopers) is not available.
And, I still have a grip with CopyRight law. If a book is “out of print”, how is that benefiting society. And seventy or more years under “protection”.
Sorry, copyrights and patents shouldn’t last more that a decade or two. And, just putting a ribbon on the donkey’s butt should give another decade or two of lock up. We, as a society, exchange the lockup for the benefit of everyone. Where’s the benefit of an extended lockup.
Argh!

NANOWRIMO2011: Pep talk message
Wednesday, October 19, 2011 
Greetings, NaNo-novelist!
Have you seen the countdown clock on NaNoWriMo lately? The 2011 noveling extravaganza begins in just 13 days!
In preparation for this wild and wordy festival of writing, we’ve relaunched NaNoWriMo.org (and that very hypnotic clock). The site is now built upon the extra-sleek framework of Ruby on Rails, which means the forums are speedier than ever, and slow page-loads are a distant memory. (Though you can still fondly reminisce on those with me in the NaNoWriMo history.)
Come on over to NaNoWriMo.org today to check out all the shiny newness, including an all-star cast of pep talkers, the 2011 batch ofweb badges, our revamped forums, and special noveling goodies in the store.
You can also find the local chapter closest to you, and catch up on news and events there in the regional forum!
If nothing else, come by to witness the sheer speed of it all. Heavens to Betsy, the speed!
If you know any kids, teens, or educators who would enjoy this challenge, be sure to send them over to NaNoWriMo’s Young Writers Program! Director Chris Angotti has cooked up the best resources yet for our 50,000-plus young novelists around the world.
We can’t wait to see you in NaNoLand!
Counting down to go-time,
Lindsey Grant
Program Director
