Link up staggered, yes. I'll ambush any bike I see, just to find out how long it takes for them to realize I'm there. Yes, there are riders that never look in their rear view mirrors...

Flick the switch back and forth a few dozen times and it just might start working again.

I've done that. Except it was unexpected. And looped forward, the wrong way. And I didn't stay on... But the bike did land on it's wheels and boogie!

National Museum of the USAF - Dayton - there can be only one

I used to paint houses. Those tall ceilings are one of the hardest things to do, but there are worse. Figure out what you need for scaffolding and get it done. Carefully. edit: worse is steep pitched roofs like in German village or Italian village, where you have to tie yourself to a counterweight to stay on the roof. Scarey stuff.

that's what I thought. Gets to wear white even...

Yes, it is an interesting article, with what appears to be good data. I'll spend more time reading it to understand it. But I can't help but wonder if the American dream has become for everyone to be cookie cutter all the same... Won't ever happen, some people work harder than others, and that's the difference. edit: ok, and some won't work at all...

I tried eating potatoes for a month when I was unemployed and I'm cheap. I wasn't hungry, since I really couldn't poop for a month...

trolling completed

wtf cattle... you have a garden the garden grows food you eat the food grown in the garden I go over and eat all the food in the garden which is ok since you were going to eat it anyway and now some one will say it wasn't your food it was never your property or it wasn't really food it was back taxes due or you're a selfish (political party of your choice) for hording all that food you're too rich you should give it away please, some one find reality and bring it to us and let deception go home

still using skullcandy Ink'd. Break about one pair a year. At 12 to 14 bucks, not complaining.

Yes, that is correct, and it worked pretty well. Too bad it's past history. Now tell me where the current Bureau of Land Management came from. The outfit that is enforcing the current standards. And if those standards have approval of the congress or public. Go for it, I could be wrong. edit: btw, summary judgement can mean different things. Mostly "not a case by court and jury". Award is granted to one party and not the other without deliberation (other than the judge). It can mean one party was plumb loco, or it can mean there is no contestable law. Only summary judgement. Go back and read the Public Rangelands Improvement Act and see what the transgressions and penalties of the law are. There aren't any. Ergo, summary judgement without a trial. The transgressions and penalties can be anything the government says it will be. Which is sad. We need regulation, but not abuse. A fine line of tightrope to walk. The easy way out is to have Congress decide and make it clear. Maybe they will. Reading some more. Will Bundy ever make any headway with this? No, simply no. He will not win anything under any circumstance. Not going to happen. Neither will the people that support him.

Not really. A law can be reversed by a jury's decision against. He could say there isn't a law. Laws are legislated with representation of the people. A rule or regulation that isn't created by people or our representatives cannot be changed or challenged. Until now, apparently. There are rumors that a batch of the Western states are now reviewing possible return of federal land to state ownership. A batch of states are also re-establishing or improving their respective state militias. Ohio is one of them.

Street has the point with it being a political issue. That makes it likely that it wasn't a "normal" event, and won't have a "normal" response. Not with elections coming up. I also have to think of politicians and law enforcement that showed up on the support of the state side of the conflict. Wasn't necessarily a "state vs federal" thing, but that's not the point. Once in the media and courts, it could be easily. That and I just can't see politicians and law enforcement called as witnesses. Remember that this was a warrant to take property per a one sided decision, rather than work through the courts. The judge for the warrant probably had no way to refuse it. There's nothing to refuse. Part of that problem is that it isn't law per se of a state or federal legislation. It is a rule of a bureau, which is another "sticky wicket" if it were in an actual court. edit: I did read some LA reporter's account that anyone that had weapons out were ambushed and escorted back to town away from the area. Unable to confirm. Those are probably what you're talking about. They went too far.

Those are unorganized militias, that are mostly not recognized by states. Unorganized militias exist only at the request of a state. There would be a wide variety. But still, they are potentially militia, since everyone is potentially militia per most state law. Some states even require the male population of age to own a military rifle. Old law, most everyone ignores that part anymore. Or even back at the time, since it was expensive. (Or useless, since when called most showed up with civilian hunting rifles, not military rifles.) By definition of terrorism in 18 U.S.C. § 2331, it could have been domestic terrorism, except that it didn't quite meet the requirements. Most terrorism requires violence or harm. I'm sure there's a "conspiracy to commit" rule somewhere to cover the "almost but wasn't". If there's reasonable charges, I'm sure there will be arrests. Until then, saying otherwise would be probably be defamation of character. edit: ok, I looked up recent revisions of code and definitions. It covers a lot more in terms of activity. Even "exercising first amendment rights" in the wrong place could be considered domestic terrorism. But it looks like in all cases a federal or state law must be broken in the process, at a minimum.

The National Guard is a federalized state militia. Back when, anyway. Leaving behind a weakened official organized state militia and an unorganized state militia. Most states cover all of the above in state laws. Typical would be all persons male and female between the ages of 16 and 67 are included in service in time of need. Most states are again strengthening their state militias. Mostly for use in natural disasters as organized supply of disaster relief and military police. They are trained for it and are better than volunteers. (And apparently states think better than federal assistance.) So hating militia would be.... pretty much everyone.

It's done more like this.

Back in my teens, I stuck my pants leg down over a kick starter at a red light. Couldn't get it off in time. Yeah, just enough off balance to go on over. I couldn't think fast enough to lean body away from the leg not available and hold it up. It was one of those NOOOOOOOO! moments. No harm done, just lots of cursing in the middle of the night.

yup, 65bhp would be a better minimum for the weight.

ummm, founding fathers were opposed to a government by decree that was supported by roughly half the population. Remember the part about representation of the people? Not voted on and not elected was exactly the point...

This one has the rights to Godzilla, which included the voice of Godzilla. Much better. edit: btw, a batch of classic Godzilla has posted up on internet movie websites. Some free, some not.

Yeah, usually impressed with Chuck Hawk stuff, but this is confusing. Added a link to the tacti cool lever. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4146/5085636648_dd528dc326_b.jpg I looked at revolver cartridge lever carbines, and I like the Rossi 454 Cassull. 75% more power than a 44mag. A baby 45-70. But nearly impossible to find one. edit: Changed link to another source. That first one started blocking.

Found a modified Rossi lever gun that might make some one happy... link if pic don't show up: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4146/5085636648_dd528dc326_b.jpg

Yup, but apparently sectional density is more important. But yeah, conflicting information there. edit: Or more precisely, certain expanding bullets need a certain range of velocities on target to perform. If slower, pick a bullet that will perform at the slower velocity. Like a lead slug in a shotgun.

Here is something. Chuck Hawks wisdom on deer hunting. Caliber selection. Recommends a minimum 1500fps at target for expansion and 800ftlbs at target. That would make most straight walled cartridges either not qualified or limited short range. http://www.chuckhawks.com/bad_deer_cartridges.htm http://www.chuckhawks.com/factory_loads_deer.htm http://www.chuckhawks.com/ideal_deer_cartridges.htm since we're talking mostly handgun cartridges, better throw this one in: http://www.chuckhawks.com/revolver_killing_power.htm In this one, he turns around and says handgun cartridges can work for a woods gun: http://www.chuckhawks.com/woods_rifles.htm
