Sure, but the point here is that he went beyond self-defense. You seem to be saying that, once they broke into his house, their lives were his to do with as he wished.

It’s based on Facebook team followers and zip code.

This will make lots of iTrolls, XP curmudgeons, and Linux cultists really sad.

What’s the huh? for.

The Kiev Gov. can’t send troops out without a declaration of war according to their Constitution, which is what they did. ....So they called them ‘anti-terrorist special forces’.....and therefore labeled the Pro-Russian’s, who have secured Government Buildings and control of those cities..terrorists. Additionally Kiev sends Svoboda/Pravy Sektor/relabeled “National Guard” thugs where needed....just as they used them for the violence which occured with maidan...and they admit this.

According to the Pres. of Ukraine..”The ‘terrorists’ have effectively taken the whole Donetsk region hostage”.

And of course most likely Brennan and Biden have intervened to push things along as events took place soon after each had arrived and or left Ukraine.

But it was when Turchynov called for a new anti-terror action, things got messy

Thanks Red Badger.

Pacemaker battery that lasts 30 to 50 years, sounds lovely. Other than the whole, I’ve had a pacemaker for 50 years thing.

Those pacemaker batteries should use wireless charging.

The end of the charger? Wireless system can recharge EVERY phone in your office...

Same here. And I cannot believe any simulation can come close to the feeling.

As far as I know, Microsoft made no money off of me this fiscal year. Of course, I’m in my 70th orbit around the sun so I have to watch my money a bit more, nowadays.

Every five years or so I have to go through this. I have always just called Dell and asked them to spec out a computer for my needs. This time I need to be a bit more thrifty if possible.

She would have vanished long ago. Most of the barn cats do. There’s coyotes that roam around there. And free range chickens disappear if they don’t roost in the rafters. I’ve had her for over 2 years now. I harness her and take her for walks. She loves the balcony.

If it’s as inaccurate for the rest of the country as it is for Iowa, it’s just made-up.

Far more Cardinals (and Royals) fans in Iowa than indicated here.

But, if accurate, it proves MLB idiocy as the Twins, Brewers, Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals and Cubs all claim Iowa as home territory, most with no fan base of support.

Same here.

Of course not..why go to that leap, if someone enters your home you have the right to defend yourself, simple as that

These parts of the business performed the best:

* Hardware (Surface, Xbox and Xbox Live subscriptions, second- and third-party video games, and other hardware): $1.97 billion revenue, up 41 percent.

This category received a big boost from the launch of Xbox One consoles in November last year. Microsoft sold 1.2 million Xbox One consoles in the third quarter, and 800,000 Xbox 360 units.

Surface revenue grew 50 percent to about $500 million, Microsoft reported.

* Office 365 Home now has 4.4 million subscribers, up 1 million from last quarter.

* Office 365 revenue, as well as commercial seats, about doubled, while Azure revenue grew more than 150 percent.

The simulation should be mandatory for every person that ever voted for any Kennedy:

My pleasure, which one of the websites?

Why anyone would do this is beyond me. Came close to drowning once. It is not fun.

Ugh!

He broke the law(as it is written in Minnesota statute)

What law did he break?

So you’d be good if he’d raped and tortured them for days?

Where's the toxicology report?

She had marijuana and cough medicine in her system. He was clean.

I do believe there are under-groups other than their local militias there. Imo,(and don’t we all have them)...

Yep.

...Kiev Gov. is calling the Pro-Russian Militia’s terroists in order to justify sending troops, (they cannot otherwise without declaring war), because the EU and US will not and cannot support Kiev Government...

Yep, keep in mind the US can take no LEGAL action without UN approval, impossible considering Russia - China (and possibly others) veto.

Not so sure the US would restrain as much as Russia has so far if this was happening on our borders...

Depends on who or what was gettin' in.

I can see Russia sending Chechen’s to fight the Nazi elements that are increasing in numbers in Ukraine.

Saved best for last,

Putin's Russia is the only entity in history that has co-opted and forced a Muslim military to abandon it's loyalty to the Islamic people of it's namesake, and to fight as mercenaries for Islam's enemy, Christianity. No small feat.

Obama is doing the opposite.

A waterboarding by any other name ...

My cat used to climb up the California oak, across the garage roof to my window to be let in. How she knew to climb that tree to my window I'll never know. Plenty of room, she just curled up.

We have two of them....which we painted green.

LOL!

Phillies bump

Yeah, like you, my close-in vision would be perfect if my arms were about a foot longer. In the 1970s the lead miniatures were the rage with the D&D crowd (this was in college), but not everyone had the money, so a few were buying them and painting them, and one guy I knew took a larger scale (from a different manufacturer) and painstakingly whittled it down into some WWII era tank that no one made in miniature at the time, just to one-up the other major miniature collector in the dorm. It was hilarious. I have no idea how they found the time to go to school.

I was actually a fan of Gil Gerard’s. I thought it was a shame his career didn’t take off. He had the looks and charisma to be a movie star (none of that pansy-ass, zero charisma seen in too many so-called leading men today). I think Hollyweird doesn’t REALLY want manly men in leading parts, why it seems in the past 25+ years (since the ‘80s), we’ve seen an increasing feminization of the male population.

I resemble that remark..

Unarmed? What is that supposed to mean? How did he break the window Sherlock? Did he use his Foot? His hand? Hmmmm....

Plenty of old men have been beaten to death with just those. So drop that "unarmed" bullshi*.

Those two dope stealing burglars got everything that was coming to them.

Who was the sweet little virginal burglar on the phone with as they broke in to the house? Her fence?
Her dope dealer?
The Wheelman?

Prosecutor: Minn. homeowner lay in wait for teen burglars

After their deaths, authorities said a car linked to Brady and Kifer contained prescription drugs that had been stolen from another house, apparently the day before they were killed. Court documents from another case show Brady had burglarized Smith's property at least twice in the months before he was killed.

Were these two high on drugs?
Where's the toxicology report?
What kind of drugs were these two stealing? Were they doing the drugs or just selling them? Both?

Unarmed, unarmed. You sound like a freaking parrot. They were armed with the boldness that they thought they could steal this guy's stuff with impunity.

Wonder boy pointed out a camera and proceeded to break in anyways.

Was that the action of a rational person? Was it drug induced behavior?

Unarmed? Sh*t, those two low life f**kers were armed with arrogance, arrogance that they could break into this man's home at will and do as they please. Piss on the two sorry f**ks.

LOL! Pretty much my reaction, too.

The only saving grace is that I doubt that he will have a chance to use it. It has to be used sometime in the next 3 TCs before the F4 and they still have to pagong Spencer, Tasha and Jeffra. Tony won’t be in any jeopardy in the next 3 weeks.

The question is just how seriously Trish takes Spencer’s threat last night that he, Tasha, Jeremiah would all be casting their jury votes for Tony at FC.

That’s a big incentive to get rid of Tony and take Kass.

Rumors are circulating that it will be a F2 Final Council this year. The choice just might be between Trish and Kass — which will be no choice at all.

I hope Obama is named as a defendant in this lawsuit.

How BOUT them Braves.

If you poke around the West, you still find fans out there.

When WTBS(now TBS) showed the Braves non stop in the 80, 90s and 00, they created a GREAT fanbase.

Peppers, banana and hot peppers. Please disrequard the wreckage in the background, I am demolishing some old display cabinets for the oak and maple wood in them.

Free range Legend mater. I have the container plus soil to give each free range mater twice the space, but that is still short of what they need. When I first had the idea of a raised free range mater container, I was thinking of 4ft x4ft or 4ft x 6ft wooden boxes made from pallet lumber, about 30" to 36" from the ground.What I want to know mostly is whether I can grow maters without stakes at a confortable working heigth.

Free range Boxcar Willie mater

The ground level garden maters, various varieties, 2 on rt hand row are potato leafed maters. variety I don't remember. The tag is by them but I can't read them from 6ft away.

Everything except the free range maters have flowers or tiny fruit(peppers ARE fruit, ain't they?)

Thanks for your concern and prayers, MEG & AMY. I slept good due to the Ibuprophen. Have felt better today and avoided the doctor. Blistex offers relief on the few breakouts I have. I think I will weather this one without doctors. That is my prayer. Doctors and hospitals can make one seriously sick. Yeah, I’m paranoid.

That is a dandy website you linked to.

BTW, I never thought of them using felt as padding for the linings.

Sorry to hear it. You’re removed.

Trouble is Kiev Gov. is calling the Pro-Russian Militia’s terroists in order to justify sending troops, (they cannot otherwise without declaring war),

Huh?

Another game and Crosby still score less it’s driving me nuts.

MSM cooks their own goose, in foreign countries under seige, because they pretty much put the reporters in positions of danger by taking their stories and twisting them to suite the political agenda here in the US. Foreigners do hear the stories and become enraged because the truth is twisted....they have no other recourse than kidnap or cut out the reporters and rely on their own people for getting the story out.

Unfortunately without MSM then nobody hears and their plights can be easily forgotten.

Look at Syria, Libya and Egypt now...all a mess...I'm sorry to say the US has created and done more harm than good in trying to dispose of nation leaders....and they seem to be backing the worst groups while doing so...for which makes me ashamed it’’s my country doing so.

While you are ‘here’, is there any way to let ‘us’ know if a post has been pulled prior responding to it—like when you hit reply etc etc?.

Last couple of times went through the whole routine of trying to come up with ‘clever quips’ etc only to find that when I hit post/send etc it says, thread had been pulled.

Is it ‘possible’ that it was pulled between the time I started and finished? That seems (sort of) logical but has happened to me a couple of times recently— that sort of shoots down my theory unless I am very ‘unlucky’.....

Thanks

The lowest from of life is a thief.

Do you have a logical argument for that statement?

Or a Scriptural one?

Ping

Unless you are administering a page, nothing you do will keep others from seeing spam or blogs or shoe salesmen.

The question here, as I see it, is one posed at the admin level.

Certainly as a user you can hide things from yourself.
Really all that does is make you ignorant of some of the
goings-on.

Blinding yourself to the bad things simply lets the bad things go un-opposed by you, since you can’t see them.

I agree completely. Guadalcanal was done on a shoestring and strained our limited resources at that time, but it absolutely was the right time and place to stop the Japanese advance.

There was mention of Savo Island today. Thank goodness the commander behaved in a very Japanese way and withdrew after roughing up the cruisers and destroyers rather than attacking the ships in the anchorage. That could really have set us back.

Rumored to be a candid pic of de Seversky:
