Whose Numbers Are They, Anyway? In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in November, Holder said, "There are more than 300 convicted international and domestic terrorists currently in Bureau of Prisons custody." Republicans have attacked that number as inaccurate. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, called the 300 figure "unsubstantiated." President Bush's former press secretary, Dana Perino, said the statistic is as "false as false gets." But the number actually comes from a Bush administration document. In 2008, the Justice Department submitted a budget request citing "319 convictions or guilty pleas in terrorism or terrorism-related cases arising from investigations conducted primarily after September 11, 2001." The NYU Center on Law and Security conducted its own comprehensive study and came up with yet a higher number. "If you had every single terrorism-related prosecution since 9/11 and you wanted to know the convictions, there would be 523," says the center's director, Karen Greenberg. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123571858 TERRORISM TRIALS IN ARTICLE III COURTS LAURA K. DONOHUE* Some individuals reject Article III courts as a forum for bringing terrorist suspects to justice on the grounds that the ordinary judicial system cannot handle such cases.1 As an empirical matter, this claim is simply false. Since 2001, myriad terrorism trials have progressed through the criminal system.2 The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reports that between 2001 and 2010, there were 998 defendants indicted in terrorism prosecutions.3 Eighty-seven percent of the defendants were convicted on at least one charge.4 According to the Executive Office for the U.S. Attorneys, from FY 2004 to FY 2009, there were 3,010 terrorism prosecutions.5 It reported 2,663 terrorism convictions during the same time period.6 http://www.harvard-jlpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/DonohueSymposium_Final.pdf

Both my daughters love the .410 even after moving up to my .20 ga, It provided them with a sense of control and ease with handling it. My oldest daughter will usually shoots a round or two of skeet with the .410 and does well. I think the .410 is a tough gun to hit anything with sometimes but it builds handling confidence.

2016 Perseid Meteor Shower: Peak Dates Approaching The Perseid Meteor Shower is expected to have an outburst in 2016. The Perseid Meteor Shower, expected to have an outburst in 2016, will peak peak around mid-August yielding anywhere between 150-200 meteors per hour. According to the American Meteor Society, normal rates range from 50-75 shower members per year but in 2016 they will appear at double the normal rate. NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke was quoted bySpace.com as saying the rate could top 150 and even reach 200 meteors per hour. http://patch.com/us/across-america/2016-perseid-meteor-shower-peak-dates-approaching

A couple had only been married for two weeks. The husband, although very much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old buddies. So, he said to his new wife, "Honey, I'll be right back." "Where are you going, Coochy Coo?" asked the wife. "I'm going to the bar, Pretty Face. I'm going to have a beer." The wife said, "You want a beer, my love?" She opened the door to the refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12 different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc. The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of saying was, "Yes, Lollipop...but at the bar...you know...they have frozen glasses... " He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by saying, "You want a frozen glass, Puppy Face?" She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it. The husband, looking a bit pale, said, "Yes, Tootsie Roll, but at the bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious...I won't be long. I'll be right back. I promise. OK?" "You want hors d'oeuvres, Poochie?" She opened the oven and took out 5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom caps, and pork strips. "But my sweet honey...at the bar....you know there's swearing, dirty words and all that..." "You want dirty words, Cutie Pie?...LISTEN UP D**KHEAD! SIT DOWN, SHUT THE F**K UP, DRINK YOUR DAMN BEER IN YOUR DAMN FROZEN MUG, AND EAT YOUR F**KIN' HORS D'OEUVRES. BECAUSE YOUR MARRIED A** ISN'T GOING TO A F**KIN' BAR! THAT S**T IS OVER... GOT IT, A**HOLE?" ...and they lived happily ever after.

Using urban pigeons to monitor lead pollution http://universityofcalifornia.edu/news/using-urban-pigeons-monitor-lead-pollution

Thats the type of reel i first started fishing for trout with when i was 15. I bought it at a Goodwill store for a buck and took it home to show my immigrant Italian dad who just laughed. But I was determined to use it and found an old timer who knew how to use fly rods. He taught me how to fly fish in Prospect park lake. I use to strap it to my banana seat bike and ride to the lake and fish until one day it was yanked out of my hands and disappeared below the water. I never did find out what pulled it out so fast and strong. The Indiana Reel Named after the state where it was first manufactured and popularized, the Indiana reel was conceived with a dual purpose. It would function as both a line dryer (for the silk and linen lines used at the time) and as a casting reel. It served both functions well, and was also employed as a trolling reel. The first Indiana reel patent was granted to C.D. Rider on December 1st, 1908 - the most recent to A.L. Thomson on April 4th, 1967. The Indiana reel has been found in many shapes and sizes, but the basic design is that of a large diameter, single action reel with radial arms, which is sidemounted on a rod. It has been affectionately known as a line dryer reel, a Star reel, a Ferris reel and a true "Knucklebuster". Having origins that date back to the 12th century, the Indiana style reel was perhaps the easiest to produce "at home", spawning unique designs and construction from fishermen looking to build a better and cheaper mousetrap. As a result, some of the most interesting Indiana style reels are "one of a kind" or "folk art" reels, and are some of my favorites. I have had lots of help putting this collection together, and would like to thank folks like John Mack, Tom Harwood, Randy Nelson, Larry "Young'n" Moellman and a host of others for allowing me to add reels like the ones you see below. http://www.sidemountreels.com/indianastylereels.html Good luck with it!

Feds Remove the Lesser Prairie Chicken From Protection List http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/feds-remove-lesser-prairie-chicken-protection-list-40706574 Facing an uphill court fight, the U.S. government announced Tuesday it was formally removing the lesser prairie chicken from a federal protection list under the Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said the move follows recent court rulings in Texas that stripped the lesser prairie chicken of federal protection. However, federal officials say the removal didn't mean authorities had concluded the lesser prairie chicken didn't warrant federal protection for biological reasons. "The service is undertaking a thorough re-evaluation of the bird's status and the threats it faces using the best available scientific information to determine anew whether listing under the ESA is warranted," the agency said.

I will say one thing, regardless of what you say the majority of Americans was some common sense laws enacted. But you wait and see whats force fed you if all you do is stonewall. Remember the only thing that can stop a bad man with a law is a good guy with a law...

Whatever, you believe your BS and stay ignorant and I'll believe mine.
