We can argue r-squareds and p-values all day long, but there are several solid concepts behind the hypotheses that initiated the climate change debate. (I have included links as jumping off points) Atmospheric CO2 concentration is either rising, or it is not (The Keeling Curve). The mean...

“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by...

I, too, would say that her....position....could stand improvement...

If you don't want to kill the dog you have fewer options. I understand that. The dog doesn't appear aggressive, just bored out of his mind. My pit will eat cayenne out of the jar, so that's a joke in some cases, but it might work. I vote for a 15 mile electric fence charger wrapped around your...

From a thrift store, I recently found "Moonlight Hotel" by Scott Anderson. A good fiction read concerning imperialism and is clearly based upon actual places and countries. I also like Michael Crichton, Clancy, Ayn Rand, Hemmingway, Robert Ludlum, and have inadvertently become a Robin Cook fan...

I once shot a 357 magnum out the window of a box stand while deer hunting, but apparently didn't get the muzzle or cylinder gap out the window. It was like someone in my brain just turned my ears off. Won't do that again for sure, but I'm sure 1 round of 5.56 won't do a great deal of permanent...

I have used the 178 amax at about 2750ish fps for closer in shots for several seasons now. Even punched one through a shoulder blade and out the far side humerus (100 yard shot). Put one through the slats and it looks like a bomb went off in there, but meat damage is remarkably low; that's...

I've got a crossfire 4-12 on a 10/22 that rides in the back of my truck full time. I haven't re-zeroed in over two years since I put it on there... just pull it out to take care of a snake or dillo every now and then and put it back. Can't ask for a whole lot more than that IMO.

Double-H boots are fantastic if you are looking for a new brand. Made in the USA.

I have a TDI Jetta. It's an 06 with the DSG auto. Truth be told, it's a fantastic little car. We traded a mustang in on it that had under 60K miles, and the interior was simply falling apart (holes worn in seats, door panels falling off...). The jetta is solidly made, and with 156K currently...

As far as the NFL is concerned, F those guys. They may not have known what they were signing up for, but they got paid the big bucks to play a game instead of producing anything valuable. The fact that they can't find the bathroom in their own house is no concern of mine. MY concern is kids in...

Female left center is Marie Curie, I think. Still not sure on the blue shirt guy or the photograph above his.

I've got Red Rabbit, The Bear and the Dragon, The Hunt for Red October, and The Sum of all Fears looking at me right now. Need to finish or just restart Red Rabbit after I get caught up on John Le Carre. I also spent an embarrassing amount of time on the Spinter Cell video game franchise. I'd...

This is probably appropriate here. Lol. 18" Barrel to 1000 yards - YouTube

Sometimes I get down and start thinking about how hard my life is. Then I see something like this and realize I'm kind of a little bitch for thinking that.
