"Moonshiners" Reality TV Star Convicted For Sawed-Off Shotgun
Steven Ray Tickle, 39, known from the "Moonshiners" television series, was found guilty in Pittsylvania County Circuit Court on Thursday of possession or use of a sawed-off shotgun or rifle. There was no evidence that Tickle used the gun; however, under Virginia law, being found with the weapon is a crime.Pittsylvania Commonwealth's Attorney Bryan Haskins said Tickle was found in possession of the sawed-off shotgun during a traffic stop July 12. He was stopped because a headlight on his black Dodge truck was out.
Cpl. T.W. Eanes of the Pittsylvania County Sheriff's Office conducted the traffic stop and discovered that Tickle's driver's license was suspended. Eanes said in court that he could see the weapon inside the truck.

Top 10 People Who Helped Their Lovers Escape From Prison
I'd like to think that if it ever came down to it that Mrs. Maetenloch would spend several years learning to fly a helicopter just so she could come bust me out of prison. But I know that she's prone to air sickness and not overly fond of heights...or jail.
In 1986, Michel Vaujour was serving 28 years at La Sante Prison in Paris for armed robbery and the attempted murder of a policeman. He had successfully escaped from prison three times before, but for his latest attempt, he would enlist the aid of his wife, Nadine. Michel's plan involved the use of a helicopter and, even though Nadine had never a piloted a chopper in her life, she took lessons in order to learn how to fly.On May 28, Nadine rented a helicopter and flew towards La Sante Prison. At the same time, Michel constructed a fake gun and painted some nectarines to make them look like grenades. This ruse managed to fool the guards, who allowed Michel to make his way to the prison roof. Nadine soon arrived in the chopper and picked up her husband. They later touched down at a nearby football field, where a car was waiting for them to make their escape.
The pair remained free for four months until Nadine was captured at a villa on September 27. The next day, Michel and two accomplices made an attempt to rob a branch of Credit Lyonnais in Paris, and got involved in a shootout with police. Michel was seriously wounded and left in a coma after being shot in the head. Nadine wound up serving 16 months in jail; while Michel eventually awoke from his coma, his brain injury was so severe that he had to learn how to speak again.
In spite of this setback, Michel made a full recovery, and would actually attempt two more helicopter escapes from prison in 1993.

Sure the theory was there but reality even after the advent of the P-51B Mustang ensured most bombs fell far from the target. And when the 20th Air Force went after Japan in very high altitude B-29A Superfortresses they encountered another problem that affected aim, the jet stream.
So Germany, Italy, and Japan got Blitzed on a far greater scale than the Germans ever managed against England.
And then there is the little matter of how the US Pacific Fleet waged unrestricted submarine warfare against Imperial Japan. You know, the same tactic that got the Germans pilloried in WWI and in WWII.

Can you imagine how absolutely infuriating it must be for Hillary to have to work so hard to be likable, but strong? Hip, but above the need to be seen as cool? For everything she says to be perfect because she'd be crucified otherwise, meanwhile Bernie Sanders could say pretty much anything he wants and it would be seen as the goddamn revolution? I'm so infuriated on her behalf. Because what you like about Bernie, what they like about Trump, she doesn't get to do that. She doesn't get to be all wild hair and yelling. Do I wish different? Of course. And the first female president would go a long way toward making that difference possible.

The barrel is rifled so it's not a shotgun - just a pistol that is capable of shooting some shotgun shells.

So, if a Taurus Judge were a carbine (which I believe to mean "not rifled"), it'd be a shotgun? And, incidentally, for any moron who wants to put me some knowledge -- what the hell is a choke and what is it good for? (i.e. is it a separate piece, or integral to the barrel?).

How does Taurus get away with the Judge, a pistol that shoots shotgun shells? Is it the gun show loophole again?
The Taurus Judge is clearly a pistol: it has the shape of a pistol (a revolver), is manufactured extremely similarly to other revolvers, and is chambered for a commercial pistol cartridge. This is a Common Sense argument, not (a legal one (yet)
The fact that the cylinder is unusually long for its ammunition, compared to those of other revolvers, and will allow chambering and firing of a particular shotshell is ... coincidence ... ? ...

In the hail of gunfire, the inmate was killed and guards fatally shot the woman.
It was not immediately known whether Floyd Bennett Thornton Jr., 36, was killed by shots fired by his wife or guards. Officials had initially said Thornton was killed by his wife, Rebecca Lynn Thornton, 38.
We are looking at this as a possible escape attempt, said Camilla Strongin, spokeswoman for the state Corrections Department.
Rebecca Thornton lived across the street from the prison and had married Thornton in January while he was on death row, officials said.

Yes initial state matters when it comes to NFA rules.
If it was made as a pistol, it's okay to add a stock and longer barrel as long as it doesn't fall into the Short Barreled Rifle category e.g. the perfectly legal Glock rifle upper. If it was made as a rifle though, then removing the stock and changing to a short barrel makes it an Short Barreled Rifle (illegal without the ATF paperwork). Same end-result but one is okay and the other is a federal offense.

The choke is meant to control the spread of shot. Closer grouping, wider...

Back in the late seventies, early eighties, someone I knew who was a classic, nitwit liberal thought it would be cool to live in Detroit. He moved into a pretty nice house in what seemed to be a decent neighborhood. Got a great deal on the house. So one evening he and his wife came home and were held up at gunpoint. The cop they reported it to said 2 things. "Is this the first time you've been robbed." and, "You're lucky he didn't rape your wife." The douchebag liberals moved out fast.

If you have an AR "pistol" legal, but you have the parts to put a buttstock on it, they can charge you.
With the Judge, I think it's the rifling that prevents it from being a short barreled shotgun, not the lack of buttstock.

Been meaning to tell people, I've had some bad (though not horrible) right hand and arm pain lately. I literally did a ton of typing last summer/fall when I was in a personal financial crisis and needed the money.
Long story short, things are better now financially but my arm is paying the price. Been going to physical therapy and as mentioned above, my therapist says I probably have "double crush syndrome." I'm still typing but doing much less of it these days, in fact I think I'm going to splurge on a copy of Dragon Pro and *really* try to master it this time so I can start posting places like here, and doing my typing, via voice command.
Anyway. Anyone else here know anything about "double crush"? Thanks in advance.

Back in the late seventies, early eighties, someone I knew who was a classic, nitwit liberal thought it would be cool to live in Detroit. He moved into a pretty nice house in what seemed to be a decent neighborhood. Got a great deal on the house. So one evening he and his wife came home and were held up at gunpoint. The cop they reported it to said 2 things. "Is this the first time you've been robbed." and, "You're lucky he didn't rape your wife." The douchebag liberals moved out fast.

... the argument against Short barreled rifles ...
Adding a stock to an autoloading pistol makes it noticeably more accurate ... the Mauser C96, with the wooden holster/stock is an example ... and much more concealable and convenient than a rifle or carbine.
What the BATF was thinking is another matter ... my guess is that they were trying to clamp down on bootleggers and gangsters, and making something illegal adds reasons to make an initial arrest.

The more muscle mass you create the more calories you will burn. Muscle burns the most calories.

My bro-in-law (the sane one), who's pretty conservative, also believes strongly that the reason our side/the US was lackluster about Vietnam is, Westmoreland and Co. were actually worried about China getting into the game on behalf of the NVA.

So in one instance because of the restrictive ROE, one 'Nam story is a fighter pilot watched as an SA-2 battery was built. But could not attack the site due to the Soviets on site. And that site later shot him down.
It was a court-martial offense to shoot up the PRC and USSR freighters in Haiphong. But those ships had no qualms about adding their AAA to the hailstorm the pilots had to dodge.

Soy contains estrogenic compounds. The testosterone/estrogen balance is a zero-sum game. You need to maximize your T levels if you want to effectively burn fat, and burning fat is a lot healthier than starving it off.

IIRC it's more complicated than that. The Chinese supported the Vietnamese against the US, as did their rivals at the time the Soviets. The Sino-Vietnamese War was in reaction to the Vietnamese going into Cambodia after they took the South. They thought that was going to expand Soviet influence.
And talk about national hatred they Vietnamese and Cambodians hated each other. Tho there was always some China-Vietnamese there were a fair amount of ethnic Chinese in Vietnam. I think they were resented as a more prosperous merchant class.

Then read the labels, and choose the brand with the least amount of processed gunk in it.
Buy it in bulk, and snack on it regularly. You'll win the battle.
Oh, and most any Luby's Cafeteria or similar place, or even a deli, will sell you a whole beef roast, already roasted, wrapped and ready to go.
Again, snack on it from the fridge, all you want.
Same for whole roasted chickens like the stores sell.
And ditto all the pink fish suggestions, but it's harder to have ready to snack in the fridge.
Although some canned salmon might be okay.
Most REAL cheeses are okay, too. Just avoid the crap they make for kids.
And if you wanna pig out, go to Golden Corral, and chow down on all the steak and roast beast that you can devour. Just avoid most anything else on the buffet.

Yes, those are good ideas. Corned beef just adds some extra spices (and salt), but should be great. Salami has a fair amount of fat, but the isn't necessarily a bad thing!
I would go one further and suggest that you buy whole chickens & roast them yourself. Easiest thing in the world to cook at home. You know those chickens that have the "sell by today" date for half price? $3 or so?
Guess what happens to them if you don't buy them? Nope, not the dumpster - they go on the rotisserie in the morning so the grocery store can sell it to you pre-cooked for $10 tomorrow.

Betsy Reed, the news organization's editor in chief, said that the first evidence appeared in late December and that the reporter, Juan Thompson, was fired on Jan. 4. In an online note to readers, she listed four articles that had been corrected and one that had been retracted.
Ms. Reed wrote that an internal investigation turned up instances in which Mr. Thompson quoted people who later said he had never interviewed them, could not remember speaking with him or whose identities could not be confirmed. She added that he had also quoted unnamed people he claimed to have met at public events whose words could not be verified and that he had used an email account in someone else's name to impersonate a source.

Odd thing, for all the noise about having to show proof of health insurance, you apparently only have to show immediate proof if you got a government subsidy thru the marketplace. Everyone else is on the honor system until/unless they get audited.

Pro Tip. Save the drippings from the roasting dish. Save the carcass and bone out all the meat before serving. Save those bones.
Simmer 'em down for soup, later. A gallon Ziploc bag will hold the carcass, bones, meat scraps and juices, till you're ready to go all Soup Nazi on 'em.
I use two carcasses and drippings for a 15 qt. batch of mind blowingly awesome soup.
Nary a bit goes to waste, and you've fully utilized every useable bit of the bird ya bought.

nite qdpsteve. Good luck on your journey.
Chi,
Good advice on the whole chicken. You can get a lot of good eating off them at a reasonable price.
What did you think of the earlier mention...divide your height in inches by 2 and that's your waist size?
Heck, I'm 71 inches tall, that would give me a waist of 35.5. I'm 33, I think I'd a pretty good gut at 35.5.
Maybe that's a good goal for some, I think a lot depends on your body type/genetics. I've been out of HS for over 40 yrs and only weigh 15 lbs or a little more, than I did then.

Also Jim is spot-on about simmering the chicken wreckage instead of boiling. Boiling foams and clouds the stock, simmering keeps it clear. Both are tasty and edible but the result from simmering looks much nicer.
Posted by: hogmartin at February 03, 2016 02:06 AM (NA5LM)
First, dig around inside the bird, and remove the bag of giblets. Set aside, you'll need 'em later.
Second. Melt 1/2 stick unsalted butter in saucepan. Blend with equal portion of any beer you choose.
Use a poultry hypodermic, and inject about 2/3 of that mix, between the skin & meat, but not into the meat itself. Work your way around the whole bird, everywhere but where it sits in the roasting pan/dish.
Now, lightly black-pepper it, everywhere.
Next, hit it with some McCormick's "Perfect Pinch" seasoning, in the "Caribbean Jerk" flavor. Medium but not heavy coverage.
Hit it with a slightly lighter dusting of garlic POWDER (not garlic salt).
Give it a very light dusting of Cayenne Pepper.
Pour 2 oz beer into the carcass.
Roast uncovered at 325, for 1 hr.
At the 1 hr. point, pull the bird, and baste it with that remaining butter/beer mix.
Put it back in the oven for 45 more min. (a total of 1 hr. 45 min. so far.)
Now, crank the heat up to 400, roast till skin is very golden, nearly charred, crispy hue.
Yank that sucker, put 'er on a cutting board, and teach yourself to carve a bird. (it's easy when ya learn it the right way.)
The meat will be near to falling off the bones, and done perfectly, but not dried out.
Bon Apetit!

I must've missed that one. Interesting, but I don't buy it. Your height should be pretty equal to your "wingspan", but waist is not related.
I'll be 49 (too) soon, and, at 72" tall, still wear a 32 " waist jeans after 35 years or so. Genetics plays a role, yes. But I believe physical activity plays a larger role (My sisters are getting bigger, but I have never topped 170# or 13, 14% bodyfat).
FWIW, I have never owned a scale in my life. Every few years, I'll step on a friend's scale, or a doctor's scale, and it's "yep - still 168."

ok Chi, can you come up with a very very very very easy recipe for roasting a chicken?
Posted by: chemjeff at February 03, 2016 01:56 AM (uZNvH)
Just remember that chickens are basically smaller turkeys. The whole Thanksgiving stuff applies -- clean it, thaw it, brine it, inject it (optional), stuff the cavity with herbs to be discarded, rub it with oils and coat it with herbs and spices....then stick in an oven and roast 'til done. Alternatively, cram it on a can of Budweiser and roast vertically....or spatchcock that bad bird.
The wide variety of recommended methods is an indication that virtually anything will work. Try something. If it doesn't work (but is edible), eat it and try something else next time.

Good Lord Jim, you do realize that you are talking to chemjeff, a cooking impaired Moron?
That sounds great, we might try it as we have other moron recipes. But I really doesn't have to be that complicated for a novice.
Follow the intial prep, use whatever seasonings you might like...salt, pepper, garlic powder, pop in the oven on a rack to keep it out of the fat.
Later you can refine it and add butter under the skin w/ seasonings or whatever you want.
Now a great thing on the grill is beer butt chicken. Season the chick, put garlic in a can of beer, stick it up the rear and stand that up on the grill. Yummmm.

My HTC One M8, which I liked more than I realized (or maybe I was just more used to it) wouldn't charge. I screwed myself at this point by switching back to my Droid Razr HD, a phone I liked at the time but didn't have as many options as the HTC. At that point I lost the ability to turn the HTC in under warranty, stupid me.
Anyhoo, down to the cell phone store I go (Verizon) to get a new phone, a Droid Turbo 2. All is good and well, there are a few things I don't like (when you want to use the phone you push the phone shaped icon and then you have to push another button to bring the keypad up, annoying, what you get instead of the keypad is tiles for the contacts you have designated as a sort of quick dial option) but all in all, when I got my apps loaded and set the way I wanted it, it was mostly good.
So yesterday I'm on the phone with Mrs Hades and she mentions that her cousin John is in the hospital for gut issues according to his posts on the book of faces. Oh, I say, let me check it out...but it won't load. Hmm. I didn't have any problems with the HTC, I wonder what the deal is. Today I'm driving in, got the GPS up and again talking to Mrs Hades and all of a sudden...no more maps and I get some message saying no data and voice at the same time. WTF???
Turns out that the old analog network (CDMA?) is being phased out in favor of the latest and greatest digital network (LTE). The way the phones used to handle simultaneous data and voice was two antennas and receiver/transmitters, which made for bulkier phones and less battery life. With LTE they use VOIP, so simultaneous voice and data as long as you are on the 4G LTE network, but without it...not so much since they are now leaving out the second R/T and antenna. But, what the heck, 4G LTE is everywhere, right?
yeah...no. Not yet anyway. They're "working on it". #twoweeks
TL;DR version: if you want voice and data (including maps, etc) on your cell phone don't get anything new. grrrr....

Sure.
Simple simple simple:
Don disposable gloves you stole from doctor's office.
Clean junk out from inside bird.
Pat her dry with paper towels.
Rub butter (or oil) all over it.
Liberally salt and pepper every surface (inside, too).
* I use garlic salt *
Roast (bake) @ 325 - 350 for 1 1/2 hours.
Let rest on counter for 15 minutes.
Eat it like a caveman.
Once you do this a couple times, you'll perfect it, then you can add in your extra spices, start stuffing lemons & butter under the skin, and onions & limos in the cavity.
But start with butter, salt, pepper. It'll still be better than any grocery store bird.

In 1994 I made my first cruise on USS George Washington (CVN-73). We pulled back into Norfolk on the 20th of December 1994.
The winds were so high we could not dock because the tugs couldn't keep the ship under control. For two days we looked out over the basin and saw our loved ones on the pier, and for two days the winds were so high we could not dock.
The movie playing both of those days? Groundhog Day.

I'm a bit of a Luddite myself, I have maps (but the GPS on the phone is pretty convenient) and the one thing I really require of my phone is to be able to make phone calls. I resisted the temptation to go smart phones for a long time, finally doing so when they just plain stopped making the flip phones. However, if you have them it's just plain irritating when they don't work.

Private foundation grants will fund new research at universities in California and Washington state, the Forest Service will streamline the placement of seismic monitoring stations and a presidential order will tighten standards for new federal buildings.
"While no one can predict earthquakes, the study of natural hazards and their causes and impacts has put us on the path to creating more effective tools to prevent these hazards from becoming disasters," Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said.
Dubbed the "Earthquake Resiliency Summit," the program convened some of the nation's leading seismologists, as well as executives from public agencies ranging from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services to the Bay Area Rapid Transit system.

That was holdover thinking (fighting that last war again) from Korea when China intervened. Vietnam was not a natural ally of China (and, in fact, they fought a mini-war over their shared border in 1979), nor was it a client state like Korea. In Vietnam, we did fight Russian MiGs flown by Soviet pilots. Russia entering the war was a bigger worry. When we were bombing Haiphong, the Russkies were pissed because of all their shipping in the harbor.

First, EPA must receive a report or studies from an "international agency" showing that U.S. air pollution is anticipated to endanger public health or welfare in a foreign country. The many reports put out by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change over the past few decades meet this requirement. The U.S. is one of the top greenhouse gas emitters in the world, and its pollution undoubtedly endangers public health and welfare in many other countries.
Second, EPA must determine that the foreign country harmed by U.S. pollution has given the U.S. "essentially the same rights with respect to the prevention ... of air pollution occurring in that country." In other words, there needs to be reciprocity. That's where the newly signed Paris agreement becomes important. The Paris agreement satisfies this reciprocity requirement because there are now nearly 190 countries planning to reduce their emissions, at least in part, to protect one another's health and welfare.

During a rally in Iowa in November, Trump said he would 'bomb the s*** out of' ISIS if he were elected president.
...
'Indiscriminate bombing where we don't care if we are killing
innocents or combatants is just inconsistent with our values,'
MacFarland said.
How can this liberal stooge be an effective general when he lacks basic reading comprehension skills?

Who are you saying lacks basic reading comprehension?
And, mind you, the best I can tell....the general American public couldn't care less if every man, woman, and child in the MidEast [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East] were completely exterminated from Pakistan to Tunisia, Turkey to the farthest tip of the Arabian peninsula. They have never been anything but trouble.

I know a guy who did his Navy hitch on Ohio class boomers back in the 80s. He has some funny stories like that.

It just seemed that all you could infer from Trump's statement is that he wished to utterly destroy ISIS. McFarland's strawman of "indiscriminate bombing" that included "innocents" looks gratuitous to me. It's not like Trump presented him with an actual plan, and then after reviewing it, McFarland determined it would be at risk of killing lots of innocents.
And another important consideration: he doesn't get that the innocents living in the presence of ISIS would probably consider death to be a mercy.
And yeah, since they are determined to attack, despoil and conquor the west, I wouldn't mind seeing them glassed either. Cut the problem off at the source. At this point they've no one to blame but themselves.

If you're picking up the inference that I'm expecting at least 20M civilian casualties in the next decade, it isn't a mistake. I'm not particularly pleased about it, and I have no joy in the prospect, but I think it's baked into the cake. I'm working on not being one of them.

Maybe it's unfair to view them all that way, buI, if as it seems, they value neither their lives nor ours, why should we value their lives above our own?

Sometimes with secret pride I sigh,
To think how tolerant am I;
Then wonder which is really mine:
Tolerance, or a rubber spine?

Like I told one of my Trump-supporting friends, any politician who is cool enough to not GAF about the establishment can just as easily turn around and not GAF about you.
I'd still vote for Cruz over any of the others though.

The idea of using MOAB's on ISIS is delicious, and so I will vote for immorality and lawlessness and un-American behavior, yes please. So, Ted, Donald, repeat that threat, but don't make it your Guantanamo, okay. Make me believe that you will just do it, not wait for it, but just do it. Just because you can, or because you know that you should or just for the hell of it, or for revenge against the religion of murder and hate, or just for the hell of it. Make me believe that, either of you, and you'll get a vote.

Four Chaplains Day? OMGoodness; A story of faith, love and self sacrifice. An uplifting story. I don't think you're allowed to post that in the morning. Whatever you do, DON"T post it on the mourning thread. People with grim faces will lock you in the closet with bugs and smelly socks and foul old gym clothes. ;^)
I always loved that account. Thanks

No politician gives a fuck about you. Not even the sainted Ronaldus Maximus.
They do give a fuck about stashing away as much cash and amassing as much power as possible to insulate them from the deserved hanging they would otherwise get.
The trick is to find the sociopath whose attempts to insulate themselves also benefit you and put the screws to the Democrats.
