Changed motor max speed and added constants in set_motors.msg
The new speed range is -100 to 100, to be consistent with the pwmdriver. They can be accessed with motors::set_motors::MIN_SPEED andmotors::set_motors::MAX_SPEED respectively.
Removed headers, sonar uses custom timestamp, added code to manually update timestamp
\Fixed teleop to work with behaviors. Teleop currently has priority over behaviors
Removed unnecessary extra code in motors node (oops!)
Fixed whitespace in motors node
Fixed motors node to work around pwm driver bug
The node can now only do writes to /dev/pwm*, because doing both readsand writes causes the fstream to try seeking, which fails because it'snot supported by the driver. Then the fstream refuses to do any more io.
Fixed teleop with new units, and changes the refresh rate to be closer to true m/s.
Continuing work on standardization of units.
Added flush to motors node so hardware values actually change
Finished adding gpio control to motors node
I changed the Motor constructor to take pin numbers instead of filenames, and construct the file names itself. All that remains in testing.

Start Each Day Inspired: Perfect Pause Spots
I've been obsessed lately with the idea of pausing a moment or two before jumping into the day. Before opening the laptop or getting ready for work, before taking care of kids or pets, taking a moment for yourself to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, sink into a favorite chair, and overlook the beautiful home you've worked so hard to create.
It could be a perfect chair on your porch you enjoy with your coffee. Or it could be a breakfast nook table and chairs that are a delight to eat a little breakfast over. The point is, it's worth treating one special spot in your home as your morning ritual pause place — to help you start the day off right, or as place to come back to if the day's going wrong. Each person must define for themselves the perfect pause spot — preferably cozy and maybe even with a bit of a view of nature. We found several inspiring areas in recent Apartment Therapy house tours that would be perfect pause spots:
1) Wood-wrapped and tiny in Christopher & Merete's Truly Tiny Home on the Range
2) Bright and white in Tyler's Bright Bungalow in Silver Lake
3) Vintage and Charming in Rachel's Sweet Life
4) Bold on a Boat in Tracy & Marty's "Retro Metro" House Boat
5) Creamy neutral and collected in Chris & Jenna's Collection in the Castro
6) Tucked away modern in Jamie's Something Old, Something New
7) Patterned patio in Robert & Hannah's 'Casa Eclectic'
8) Mod and artsy in Amber's Art-Filled Austin Apartment
9) Shared with a bike in Jessica & Jonathan's 'Like-Eich' Ranch
10) Glamorous in Kristina & Tyler's Whitley Heights Home
Do you have a spot in your home you use to pause in each morning? Or perhaps unwind in after a long day, free from distractions? What does it look like? Describe it for us in the comments.

I have way to much to squeeze into my mornings to sit anywhere. I do my sitting after work. Either in front of the TV with a classic O.C. Housewives episode or on our back patio watching an amazing desert sunset with some vino and a Marlboro.
My apartment is still in a little disarray after moving, but I have a love seat in my living room situated in front of 4 large windows that get great sunlight in the morning. I like to sit there with my cup of coffee, enjoy the sunshine on my back, and for one moment acknowledge that even though my place doesn't look exactly the way I want it to, I have this one spot that will be an indicator of how this new place can turn from simply and apartment into a real home.
It would be nice, but I'm pretty sure there's no WAY my dog would let me "pause for a moment or two" before taking her out or getting food...!
I've been on an year plus long renovation of my one bedroom apt. I am at the point now where my bathroom and bedroom are habitable (north wing) and the kitchen/living room are still in construction mode. Nothing give me more joy than to sit in my reading nook next to my bed in the north wing and enjoy the sunlight streaming through my windows and take in the not so pretty views of the ugly condos across the street and busy brooklyn street over a cup of morning coffee.
Precious Ramotswe always drinks her first cup of African Red Bush tea and considers the day before her while walking around her garden in the morning. (Thank you, Alexander McCall Smith)
I like sitting on the steps of the deck, drinking a cup of tea and listening to all the bird song. When it rains, I stay inside, but I open the door so I can hear the rain & the birds.
It's funny that no one commented on the fotos of supposedly "Perfect Pause Spots", because honestly none of those spaces seems calming "pause spots" to me! They're all to cluttered or staged looking. Furniture doesn't invite me to sit & relax for a moment. However, there is one exception- #7 the little patio off the bathroom. Why? Because it is the only one that truly shows a private quiet space, because, for all anyone else knows, you are "otherwise occupied"!
My mornings are hectic with taking care of the animals before all else happens. But, after I get that coffee brewed I take my cup & sit out on the back step outside the master bedroom. A full unobstructed view of the sunrise over the high desert mountains. Delicious! The dogs are out in the front yard so as to not disturb my quiet time. I don't even bother to sit on a chair. I just sit right on the step. Sitting on the patio chair would require me to wipe it off first from the sand & dust. Then I'd think about the bird poo on the table & have to wipe that off. And, oh! The bird bath needs filling.... So.... a concrete step, a cup of cafe, facing the sunrise. Heaven.
I agree that it's very hard to take that pause in the morning, but at night or on the weekend on the other hand, that's when I so need that peaceful and relaxing spot at home to relax and simply breathe. For me, that spot would be a balcony or porch. I say "would be" because we don't current have a porch in my apartment. But every time we visit someone with a nice porch, I just love sitting their with my cup of tea or coffee and listening to the nature.
For now, I have a fairly nice, peaceful view out of my biggest window and that view creates the best "pause spot" for me.

The luster of green gemstones is combined with sterling silver for a classic pair of earrings you'll wear again and again. Serephinite cabochons encased in sterling silver form the posts and diamond-shaped nephrite jade stones in serrated sterling silver add movement and sass. Sure to become a classic, earrings measure 1-1/2" long x 5/8" wide and have a sterling silver post and clutch closure. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

hahah you should have DEFINITELY come up with me. Oh, and I work FOR the university We were the first to ascend up the Lions Head trail right before the cone and found ourselves in unbroken knee deep snow for at least 200-300 feet. Only saw another group of four up there who summited maybe 20 minutes after us (I think they took Tucks all the way up). There was practically no wind and only had to change out the crampons a couple times. SO BEAUTIFUL.
This is what it looked like most of the way up Tucks
Almost to junction with Lions Head
Heading towards junction with Tucks again
Breaking trail on Lions Head
There you go!

text: Hey guys. I think i am settled on getting a single pin sight this time around instead of the usual multi pin sight. I think an hha is the way to go, but I just want to know if any if you use one and if so, what model do you have and how do you like it? I see that some models have more footage of fiber which I would imagine collect more light. Here in ND we cant use lights on our sights so I want the brightest I can get! Any info or suggestions on other awesome bright sights is appreciated.

If you fish for bass this time of year, remember they are cold-blooded. They slow down so you should slow down to match them. Fish the smallest bait you can and fish it slower than you can stand to fish. Something that will stay in the same place right in front of a bass for a long time is best.

Want to try a different way to spy on the elusive whitetail? Here is a slick way to learn the art of backtracking, and there are a few tricks to it: You have to locate the right set of tracks made at the right time of day and follow them immediately. It's quite a contrast to today's on-the-go hunter who only relies on deer tracks to find where a deer is going, not where it's been.

At the end of the season, you might stow your bow and/or gun, but you should be getting ready for the most productive and important scouting of the year. Winter and early spring offer incredible insight into deer, particularly into buck habitat and behavior that will help you come next season.

With the whitetail deer population exploding nationwide and with the whitetail's particular ability to live close to human habitation, the public perception of "Bambi" is changing. Ask any non-hunting suburbanite who has had a few thousand dollars of landscaping chewed up by hungry deer. Increasingly, deer are being seen as pests.

I can't stand rap....people who can't sing do rap....you can sing rebellion as well as talk it....Hitler would have been in a rap band.
-- John Entwistle
MTV Week In Rock 1989
The Kids are AlrightOne day like today...
Mono mixes of "Jaguar" and "Rael" are prepared for the upcoming album. It is at this point that the "Part 2" section of "Rael is chopped off, not to return until the 1994 30 Years of Maximum R&B boxset.
Decca/MCA's own Who oldies collection Magic Bus - The Who On Tour hits the U.S. charts. The album gets bad marks in the Underground press for a title that could mislead buyers into thinking it was a live album (read Rolling Stone magazine's review for an example). Despite, or perhaps because of the confusion, the album reaches #39 on the Billboard charts making it The Who's first Top Forty album in the U.S. The LP also features a rare, excellent stereo mix of "Magic Bus" along with a wonderfully garish psychedelic cover.
The classical music reviewer for The New York Times, Clive Barnes, discusses The Who and rock operas in an article. Barnes, who attended one of the recent Fillmore East shows, says the band played their music too loud but, nevertheless, dubs Tommy "an enormous success" and predicts that a new kind of opera could arise from it. That night The Who perform at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh. The James Gang is the supporting act. After this night, The Who split up for separate vacations in the U.S. Pete flies down to Florida with roadie "Wiggy" Wolff to spend the time at his old friend Tom Wright's father's farm. One night "at three in the morning drunk out of my brain" Pete writes The Who's next single "The Seeker."",
The Who play in Stoke
The massive Quadrophenia double album is released in the U.K. However the initial run sells out quickly and, due to a shortage of vinyl caused by the OPEC oil embargo, additional copies are not pressed for another week and a half. Also on this day part two of Pete's interview about Quadrophenia is broadcast on Rockspeak.
The Who perform at Wembley Arena in London. Roger's voice gives out toward the end and he is forced to leave the stage. Pete wraps it up singing "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" all on his lonesome.
Two Rooms, The Elton John-Bernie Taupin tribute album featuring The Who's last studio recording to date, "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting," enters the U.K. charts. It reaches #21.

"I would totally recommend this kind of online course, I found that it was very helpful and interesting for me, considering I live too far away to attend to one of the conferences. And I think just like me there are other very interested people that do not attend to such because of distance or economical issues.
I think now I will be more prepared to open my preschool and to make things right from the beginning. Maria Montessori and this Leadership Course have given me the right tools to create a small community in the lands of San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
I look forward to your next online course. It is definitely worthwhile!"
Gabriela Gonzalez
Who is organizing a new school in San Pedro Sula, Cortes, Honduras
"This having been my first course on line, I felt less than competent in using a computer to communicate with a group of people. Talk about contextual learning! I had to learn computer skills while learning the material for the class.
As far as the technical aspect, once I got the hang of it the course started to move faster. I liked the assignments because they went along with the things I was already planning to put into practice with the school. For example, during the week of defining you identity, I was dealing with a parent who was not sure whether to keep her child at our school. This was a catalyst for me to begin a list of what our school had to offer and what made us special. The head presented this document to the parent, let her compare it to the other school she was considering and then let her decide. When she decided to send her child to the other school strictly on the basis of convenience (her older children attend there) I did not feel one bit of regret. Thanks to this course I realized that she was really not interested in quality, only cost and convenience. I did not see it as an insult to our school and was glad she made a space available to someone who was delighted to have her child in our program and plans to stay through kindergarten.
The confidence the school has gained by the knowledge gained in this course was evident at our latest parent meeting. We were able to answer the parents' questions with more affirmation and I could see that our confidence gave them confidence in us. Interesting, I just took my first born child off to college this weekend. My daughter and I were required to attend a 2 1/2 day orientation session. The speakers spoke of many things that I have learned in this course. They spoke of being partners in the child's education, allowing the child to things for herself, understanding that tears are normal. They addressed the same parental concerns that you told us about; parents want to know that their children are safe, that someone cares about their whole well being (emotional, physical, and spiritual), as well as if they will get a high quality education. They also gave several talks selling the unique qualities of the school and what makes it special, (why you would want to send your child there). I thought to myself, "did they take Tim's course,too?"

"Being a participant of Tim Seldin's on-line course "Finding the Perfect Match" has given our school a lot of new insights and a clear understanding of the importance of the total enrolment process. The course was full-on (definitely "... like drinking water from a fire-hose" as Tim warned in the first week) but the background knowledge, the examples given and the sharing of information with fellow students from all around the world was well worth the costs. Highly recommended!"

"I definitely would recommend this experience to other school administrators. I have met some wonderful people in this course as well as learned a lot about the importance of taking the time and spending the money to advertise your school. To stop "apologizing" to parents because of the high tuition cost, to be confident in my position as a director.
I found what I hoped for, and then some!!! I was hoping to find ways in which to advertise a brand new elementary school and get enrollment. The classes made me realize that this is more involved than just having a quick "open house" and waiting to sign everyone up. I was/am still a bit overwhelmed with the amount of time that the course takes however I have enjoyed the experience.
I don't think that you can put a price tag on the knowledge and information that you, Tim, possess and have shared with us. As far as I'm concerned this course is worth far more than the Foundation charged! Would I ever want to take a similar course again? Absolutely!"

Japan has strict gun control - why does it work over there??
You are assuming a causal relationship between the gunban and low crime rates?
In Japan, yes.
Why would gun control stop crime in Japan? They could always use samurai swords. And if they banned those, they could always use karate.
Japanese people love guns, a lot of them enjoy a shooting range when they come to the USA.
No one has answered my question yet
What about crimes committed by the government? For example, taxation is armed robbery. Why is the Japanese government (the new samurai class, obviously) allowed to have guns but nobody else is allowed to have them? They want to make it impossible for people to defend themselves against the government.
.....that's not the answer i'm looking for. I'm asking you why is Japan crime rate so low after they implemented strict gun control.
Because the government is organized crime. They just get to "legalize" their actions. My guess is that the government has become more oppressive (higher taxes, more intervention in private affairs, etc.), so there is not really a decrease in crime. The government is just playing word games.
Well, since we're being very unspecific here, I'll say this: gun control is just one among many factors that influence crime rates. If you live in a society in which "anti-social" (read: criminal) mindsets are discouraged and punished from early childhood on, banning the tools to commit crimes may not have the same adverse effect that it may exert in societies that are more prone to crime and violence.
It's all about ceteris paribus. Would the Japanese people be safer with guns than without? Praxeology confirms this, but it can't answer to which extent this would be the case. What it does tell us is that the Japanese people are not safe because of, but despite their anti-gun policies.
Unless you can show why the laws of human action do not apply to Japan, just appealing to its low crime rates will not do you any good.
why is Japan crime rate so low after they implemented strict gun control
why is Japan crime rate so low after they implemented strict gun control
Was the crime rate in Japan high before gun control? Just because the crime rate is low in Japan and Japan has gun control dosent mean that gun control has lowered crime. There are countless factors that affect the crime rate.
.....that's not the answer i'm looking for
.....that's not the answer i'm looking for
Save us some time and tell us what is the answer you are looking for. It seems that you already have one in mind and any other explanation from us would be found lacking.
Sphairon gave an answer that was what I was looking for - childhood upbringing. I never said that I support gun control, I was just wondering why it seems to work in Japan.
What other factors lower crime in Japan? i was surprised how crimes didn't increase in the lost decade (2 lost decades to be specific).
Swiss has loosy gun control - why there isn't a civil war there?
Even in the US, you can see that gun control leads to more crimes by the government. States with fascist gun control laws like California have higher taxes (bigger/more frequent armed robbery by the government) and much bigger governments than states like Alabama. Why? Because states like California can get away with higher taxes when its subjects are defenseless. That's the whole point of gun control.
I don't believe in gun control either - but someone brought this up when I was discussing it with him. And from what I have gathered there is a strict gun control in Japan and the lowest crime rate amongst the first world nations. That is why I was curious why it seemed to work.
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents were rounded up and exterminated.
"In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians were rounded up and exterminated.
"Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945,13 million Jews and others were rounded up and exterminated.(see Footnote)
"China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents were rounded up and exterminated.
"Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981,100,000 Mayan Indians were rounded up and exterminated.
"Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979,300,000 Christians were rounded up and exterminated.
"Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977,one million 'educated' people were rounded up and exterminated."
I never said i support gun control, what I asked was why it seemed to work in Japan. You're the only one here who has not contributed to the discussion, only made some comments that is not related to what i asked.
that last comment was for vitor.
My comments were related, just not in your face related.
So, there is very little to hunt in Japan and no extremely isolated areas, unlike the USA, so this reduces somewhat the need a japanese person may feel for a gun. Not much of a gun culture, although they appreciate guns in sort of a geeky and fearful fashion.
And they have a thing for obeying authority and not enjoying the hassle of doing something prohibited. But Im sure the guys from Yakuza and such have no big problems getting some toys, if there is a real demand for something, government prohibition easily fails, but in this case the goverment prohibited something that the people don't have an urge for.
The reason is simple. Japan, very much like China, implemented weapons control at a very early age.
For example during the Edo period ouside of the warrior and noble castes the only persons allowed to own weapons were the village chiefs and a few others (mostly government agents of various kinds). Not even ordinary policemen were allowed to have weapons: they were armed with sticks and a strange device meant to stop cutting weapons whose name now eludes me. Anyone found in possession of a weapon could expect no mercy. Of course criminals always found ways around this.
At least the government of the time was honest about weapons control: it was done to discourage popular riots, very common during that period of history. A small band of (relatively) well armed and trained bushi could put down a peasant uprising quickly. It must be remembered that despite all the present jazz about samurai and ninja possessing superhuman powers, Japan up to the XIX century was a pathetic military power. The shogun ruling the country could not afford a standing army apart from his personal household and wanted each daimyo (feudal noble/warlord) to have as few bushi as possible. Once the Chinese/Mongolian threat evaporated and once the Tokugawa family gained complete control of the country these reforms were accelerated.
It must also be remembered that traditionally Japanese authorities have had all sorts of "tacit agreements" with criminal cartels. This stems from the aforementioned lack of resources which plagued Japan for centuries. If criminals "keep to their own" and don't become too much of a nuisance they are usually left alone. That's why "self-policing" became an integral part of the Japanese criminal culture with elaborate rituals and even a sort of "dressing code" for members of organized crime cartels.
Of course this doesn't mean criminals don't get their hands on firearms: they do. They are smuggled from Russia or, much more frequently, US military installations. But firearms are usually reserved for "special occasions". Criminals usually prefer "dirt cheap" weapons, like ordinary kitchen knifes. They are easy to obtain and kill silently. The society at large must know as little as possible if you catch my drift.
The fact that they are a homogeneous nation, people may be socially scolded for having guns. Plus police have way more power over in Japan. If I heard correctly, they can hold you for 48 hours if suspected of crime. That is going to cut down on crime rates. Plus the Japanese have a very socially permissive culture and are not as quick to snap, hence not having a gun there would be less violent shootings. I don't have any empirical evidence, just speculation. Historically, the Japanese have had a pretty rigid social caste system, with only the higher, non-peseant population having access to "weapons". It is ingrained in their culture, hence it works unlike the U.S.
Democracy is nothing more than replacing bullets with ballots
If Pro is the opposite of Con. What is the opposite of Progress?
Where the hell is the "suggest as answer" option? Kakugo knows his stuff.
Thank you, Kakugo and Andrew! Those were very good answers! As I thought, it had something to do more with their culture and upbringing. Well-thought answers.
Vitor, you should read your own posts. The question i asked was about Japan - not Switzerland or how whether the Japanese love shooting ranges in the US. Read your own comments and see for yourself if they were related to the questions that i asked.
Please don't make uneducated comments, thank you very much
Your question is seriously flawed.
How do you know gun control is responsible for lower crime rates in Japan?
It should be the sai, I know when I took Shinjimatsu Karate, thats how it was presented, and this was the weapon I prefered out of all the ones we learned.
Japanese people get lithium in their water. Maybe the low crime rates are due to a docile population.
In Yokosuka, I walked across the street before the walk sign came on and everyone was staring at me like I had just assaulted someone. I think Japan would have a low crime rate whether guns are illegal or not.
"I cannot prove, but am prepared to affirm, that if you take care of
clarity in reasoning, most good causes will take care of themselves,
while some bad ones are taken care of as a matter of course." -Anthony de Jasay
There are a few reasons. Using government statistics, Japan has 1.5 homicides per 100,000 people, versus about 7.9 in the US(though as low as 0.8 in some states). However, this number in itself is extremely misleading. The Japanese government has a tendency to vastly underestimate relative to the US government, so the actual homicide rate is probably closer to 3.5. Japan also pays much more attention to the quality of their cops than the US does, there are also, on average, more of them. Japan also has a very tight conformist culture, keeping most people out of crime altogether. On top of that, the culture is extremely homogeneous in Japan, so there is little internal conflict. There is a lot more going on than just gun laws.
Japan has strict gun control - why does it work over there??
Hans Hoppe:
... it is easy to understand why a desire to control a state might exist. For whoever is a monopolist of final arbitration within a given territory can make laws. And he who canlegislate can also tax. Surely, this is an enviable position.
... Suppose you and your friends happen to be in control of such an extraordinary institution. What would you do to maintain your position (provided you didn't have any moral scruples)? You would certainly use some of your tax-income to hire some thugs. First: to make peace among your subjects so that they stay productive and there is something to tax in the future. But more importantly, because you might need these thugs for your ownprotection should the people wake up from their dogmatic slumber and challenge you. [Bold added]
The State has a powerful interest in ensuring that its slaves do not kill each other.
Clayton -
You've raised an interesting point, but I'm not sure what that point is? 'Japan has strict gun control.' Correct. 'Why does it work over there?' Why does what work over there? Gun control, or lower crime rates? Compared to what? Are you putting the lower crime rates in Japan compared to, say, the US down to gun control?
Basically, there is a saying: The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, hence the social stigma attached to 'sticking out' in any form. The boundaries are always fluid, but to depart in any major way, such as criminal acts with guns, would be shameful - and there is nothing worse in Japan than to bring shame on yourself and your family. In the US, along with other post-Christian countries, the nail that sticks out gets recognized & applauded, (Is Paris Hilton, for instance, important in any way? No, but she is on the nightly news once a week, and what glossy magazine worth it's salt doesn't have something in it about her every month. Lindsay Lohan the same) hence the propensity for people, following the existential philosophy of Sartre, the Marquis de Sade, and Stirner, which still governs us, to 'do what thou wilt, harmful to others or not.' Basically, ideas have consequences, including ideas about guns. The State in the West has a vested interest in a certain level of criminal activity as it increases the centrality of power as well. The State in Japan is interested in criminal convictions - about 99% of all cases that go before the courts in Japan result in a guilty verdict, and in a country where the convict becomes a non-person in prison, with none of the 5-star resort style benefits that criminals get in this country, for instance, it's no wonder that the only crimes that take place for the most part are genuine crimes of passion - someone just snaps, kills the offending party, then hands themselves into police, fully expecting jail or worse.
So it's a culture-wide thing, not restricted to some silly assertion about gun control. Further, a quick reading of Japanese history would show that change in its history is not fluid, but a radical, sudden shift that takes place as a result of some external stimulus that changes it almost overnite. And the crime rate in Japan in times past has been very high. There is no ethical, meaning theological, reason why this won't happen in the future.
Just quickly, there is no honor in guns, which is why Oda Nobunaga was so detested during the Sengoku.
"The opposite to law is not grace, it is lawlessness." Dr. RJ Rushdoony, "Institutes of Biblical Law"
This is a good analysis of Japan PRIOR TO the introduction of guns, as most Daimyo for the previous 800 years were nothing but petty warlords, of the kinds we see in Somalia today. Let it not be forgotten that Honda wouldn't exist today if they had've been wiped out 700 years ago as was the plan at the time - one warlord going up against another.
BUT, as an answer to the question raised, it's irrelevant. What you've demonstrated is that you can quote Hoppe at length, and then editorialize at the end - congratulations, champ, well done. But if you have a bee in your bonnet about State power in general, as you obviously appear to, find a street corner & a soapbox and preach it, brother, from there - you can quote Hoppe at the people ad nauseum then! Either that, or start another list.
Craig:Either that, or start another list.
I wasn't aware that the content of this list was at your discretion.
BUT, as an answer to the question raised, it's irrelevant.
I'd be interested to know why you think that. I quoted Hoppe giving reasons why the State imposes "peace", perhaps you can respond with reasons why my quote of Hoppe is irrelevant.
Even pretending that the crime rates dropped specifically due to a causal link with gun control, you have to ask yourself what other kinds of violent crime are happening. Who do you think calls the police when someone gets stabbed in a bad part of town? Not the criminal. Not the victim. Because, for the most part, no one in 'bad' neighborhoods wants to be known for calling the police. When neighbors/etc. hear gunshots, they're the ones who call. Violent actions with a knife, bat, or any other silent weapon and unheard and therefore are not reported. And you do also realize that the government usually tells you the crime rate, right? It's like how countries with socialized healthcare always distributed information about how cheap (rationed) their healthcare is.
If someone wants to hurt you, they're gonna find a way to do so. No one gets shot and puts the gun on trial. Humans can hurt without guns, but guns can't hurt without humans.
Japan has the highest average iq in the world - 108. Intelligent people prefer to not resort to violence, more often than not.
^ I've yet to see a post made from this person that I would consider worth the few seconds it took to look over it.
108 is the highest IQ average in the world? Really? I thought the highest average was around 120.
My Buddy:
108 is the highest IQ average in the world? Really? I thought the highest average was around 120.
I don't know where he gets that number from, but according to Richard Lynn's work Hong Kong is in the lead with an average iq of 107 followed by South Korea and then Japan.
"I'd be interested to know why you think that. I quoted Hoppe giving reasons why the State imposes "peace", perhaps you can respond with reasons why my quote of Hoppe is irrelevant."
Once again, becoz it didn't answer the question. I would've thought that was obvious, but obviously not. Instead of answering the question about gun control in Japan, and why it works there as opposed to elsewhere, and that WAS the question in essence, you've simply answered the question about your own personal biases. If you can show how authentically AnCap you are in the process by quoting Hoppe, that somehow justifies you? Sorry, but that doesn't hold water. If you used that answer to that question in an exam, you know what you'd get...duckegg.
"I wasn't aware that the content of this list was at your discretion."
Am I annoyed at this response? Damn straight! I go after Clayton for doing nothing other than revealing his own biases in answer to a question raised by someone else, and Mr Moderator decides to step in with, apparently, the only argument they've got, and that's the 'content' of their contribution to this list.
Maybe Mr Moderator might consider looking at the nature of the argument I raised, and consider asking Clayton to stick to the topic at hand, rather than simply revealing his own personal biases....unless, of course, Mr Moderator & Clayton share the same biases. I think I've just found the crux of the issue, don't you?
How do you know gun control is responsible for lower crime rates in Japan?
He doesn't and thus there is no reason to answer the question. /thread

It works great
By Happy shopper
from Seffner Florida
I use it when I let my dogs out at night. It is very bright and easy to handle. I bought it to put above my front door, but it won't stay on (it turns itself off) so it wasn't any good to me that way, but it is wonderful to have in the car when I get home and it's dark, or as I said to let the dogs out at night.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am a first time bow hunter and a first time martin owner. I got the martin onza 3 and am in the final stages of tuning the bow. However, after my last shooting session, I noticed that the string oscillating suppressor seems to be getting eaten up, and is nearly broken completely off on one side, and the string is showing rather noticeable signs of wear where it comes in contact with the torque reducing guard. My bow is set at 71lbs with a maxed out draw length.
If there is any advice as to what is causing these problems I would be glad to hear it! Thanks!

Assemblyman Bill Monning forcefully told opponents of the Parker Flats location for a local veterans cemetery Friday they were wrong if they thought another Fort Ord site could be chosen.
Nevertheless, proponents of the cemetery will have to wait at least another month for a vote by the Fort Ord Reuse Authority Board of Directors reaffirming the locale.
The board was set to vote on a motion to "decouple" the cemetery proper from the 28-acre "endowment parcel," a move that was intended to speed the cemetery project. The sale of the endowment parcel, now proposed for the controversial Monterey Downs project, is intended to raise the $1.5 million-plus needed as seed money for the cemetery.
After objections by scores of public speakers and Seaside Mayor Felix Bachofner and Councilman Ian Oglesby, who felt the motion usurped Seaside's land-use authority, the board voted 12-1 to reject that move, with Monterey County Supervisor Jane Parker dissenting.
On a motion from Oglesby, the board then voted unanimously to instruct the FORA staff to return to the Nov. 16 meeting with a resolution that would place designation of both parcels into the ongoing base reuse plan reassessment process for formal action early next year.
Oglesby said he is not confident the matter will pass unanimously, which would require it to come back for a second vote in December.
The delay evoked groans from the veterans and spouses who were assembled to demand FORA amend its maps to show the location of the cemetery designated in agreements more than 15 years ago. But Monning assured them the ongoing discussion had provoked greater buy-in from all the stakeholders, which would expedite the matter in the end.
"As distressing as this has been," he said, "this is the importance of this board pursuing this in a deliberate and expeditious manner at the designated site."
And Monning put environmentalists opposed to the location of the cemetery on notice that the site on Parker Flats Road had been approved by FORA, the state and the federal government and would not change.
"The federal approval does not transfer to an alternative site," he said. "If you think (it will), that's wishful thinking."
Alec Alaga of Congressman Sam Farr's office agreed.
"If it's going to be done, it's going to be at this site," he said. "And that will happen."
Opponents object that the land selected includes pristine oak woodland. Other areas on Fort Ord, they say, would have less impact on natural resources.
The board also unanimously voted to accept the final scoping report for the base reuse plan reassessment, which is due by Dec. 31. The report includes all public comments that were submitted for consideration in the reassessment.
Michael Groves of EMC Planning, which is preparing the plan, said a reassessment report further defining the "menu of items" to be considered for action next year will be released next week.
A public hearing on that report is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 30, with the resulting input being delivered for board action Nov. 16. Once the issues to be considered have been established, the board can direct staff in January how to prioritize matters for action.
The board continued two items that were on its agenda: the Preston Park budget and reconsideration of its vote to adopt a "formulaic approach" to developer impact fees.

Small Space Furry Friends: Pets From Small Cool 2013 Entries
Sometimes they're standing far in the background ears perked in curiosity, other times hidden among the pillows on the couch or sheepishly peering around the corner. Occasionally they're relaxing proudly and prominently on our beds: they're our pets. Trying to find all the cats and dogs from this year's contest was like playing a fun four-legged game of Where's Waldo?, our furry friends embodying the axiom, "home is where the heart is". Here are the pets of Small Cool 2013!
• Tommy's Top of the Hill
• Lisa's Small Space in a Swanky Neighborhood
• Erin's Masterful Multifunctionality
• Hannah's Personal Reflection

Woo, you should do one with cutest babies too.
Cuteness FTW!
eee, i love this post!
Haha! What's funny is that in half of these posts I cant believe it but I missed their cute pet! Nice round up :) also it's a good way to highlight some nice rooms from the entries in a different context.
The link to the first photo (Tommy's top of the hill) doesn't work
Glad I'm not the only one whose cat(s) have completely taken over the bed. So nice to see people sharing their small homes with animals.
I want to cuddle all of those cats.
Ok, the dogs too.
I just dont think its fair to have some of those larger breed dogs in a small space.
Thanks for pointing that out, Stream13. The link has been fixed.
Some dogs are like hurricanes and need a lot of activity. Some dogs are couch potatoes and rarely need more space. This can apply to large dogs and small dogs. And it can apply to cats too. It has nothing to do with size, and all to do with temperatement. And I find that a lot of people who have very small homes make a concerted effort to provide dogs with more outdoor activity, like in parks or in a yard, or extra long walks.
D'oh. Temperament* not temperatement.
You missed little Penny! Her ego was bruised by this oversight:
Thanks for the catch, I got so excited about sharing that first photo, I pasted the URL twice!
It really depends on the breed. My greyhounds are pictured here ("Kristen's Happy Smaller Digs"), and they are the laziest dogs ever. They sleep at least 20 hours a day, and they aren't even that active when they are awake! We were in a 1200 square foot apartment more, and the dogs really haven't noticed the difference in space. They're actually much more attached to each other now than they used to be, since they don't have as many lounging options:)
I have 2 great danes in an 800 square foot house. I take them on walks daily, to the dog park often, and to doggie day care occasionally. They may be big dogs in a small house, but they have a great life and get way more exercise than most peoples animals who have larger houses and yards.
Like Pi said...all dogs are different. Though I honestly believe any dog can live in a small space, you just need to make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise for their temperament.
Best post ever. Home isn't home without a furry friend!
Agree with others regarding individual temperament.
You also don't know what's outside. We had a large dog in our 400 sqft condo, but we had a nice private, fenced backyard and a very large, fenced courtyard outside our front door which was a common location for neighbor doggie playdates since nearly everyone in the small complex had a dog.
In response to the original post - this was fun! I can't believe that I completely missed most of these pets when I first looked through the entries!
While I am very pleased that the dogs and cats in these photos have a nice bed to sleep on, I am worried about the humans not shown in the photographs; I hope they are given a box with a blankie to sleep in at night.
I love this post!
This was great fun!
Oh little Penny! So cute :) She needs to be included.
I can attest that my cat has allowed me to occupy a very small corner of his bed.
Yes, I agree with the others as well. This past Christmas, my husband surprised me with the cutest puppy in the world without researching the breed (yes, we have both realized how big of a mistake this can be). The dog was a mix between a lab and a German Shorthaired Pointer. These dogs were bred by German hunters with the intent of never tiring, and the breeder didn't make it a point of mentioning how high energy they are. It took a few months for us to get used to this, but Chief has actually challenged us to be much more active. Netflix marathons are almost unheard of now, which is something I really needed. We take him on short runs and bring him to family functions to let him run free in their country fields. Even when we can't get outside, we play games with him to keep him occupied, and I don't think he feels very cramped in our 800 ft duplex. Our huge yard could have something to do with that as well. The house doesn't confine the dog; the owners do.
Love the post!
Also have to join the chorus. Size. Does. Not. Matter. Energy level does. I live in 720sf with 4 assorted retrievers. Multiple dogs will exercise themselves in a fenced-in yard, true. A single dog usually will not, unless you count fence-fighting with neighbor dogs, relandscaping the yard, or recreational barking. You need to be part of the equation; whether that's long walks, chasing a Frisbee, or competing in dog sports (personal plug here for agility & competition obedience) depends on you & your dog. Dogs from working lines require a major commitment from the human--much more so than a dog who's just large in size.
I spend a fair bit of time convincing people that a greyhound would fit their lifestyle much better than a field-bred Lab, or God forbid, a Border Collie.
I think you missed a kitty--the kitty peeping over the couch in Sandy and Jeff's Good Company. Don't know what the kitty's name is, but it deserves to be included in the esteemed company above.
Cats! Dogs!
Smiles with tails!

I took this fella around 4 pm this afternoon in a CRP field. I call him "Tough Buck". He was bedded down in some sage. I had the wind to my advantage as I made my way to him...slowly. When the wind died down...I stopped...When the wind picked up...I moved. I basically crab walked sideways making sure that I was in Shooting position just in case he heard me and got up. I got to 21 yards and stopped. I had one sage blocking his view of me. I must have ranged the bush he was beside 100 times. I got into shooters position and Yelped at him. I saw his Antlers move left then right...then he got up. I place my 20 yard pin on the right front armpit and fired. I couldn't even hear the impact because of the wind. He bucked up once and dropped to his front knee's. I figured this is it....Nope!. He gets back up and trots off away 40 yards and beds down under another sage. It felt like a great shot but I started to second guess myself. I waited about 20 minutes glassing him. I thought he had expired but he picked his head up again, I knew he was wounded bad. With the high heat I couldn't back out and come back later, the meat would spoil plus i didn't want him to suffer. I slowly made my way toward him again using the same tactics. I got into 20 yards of him again and got into my shooters position. I had a west to east wind and it was picking up. I yelped to him and nothing happened...I yelped again, His antlers moved...He was weak. I finally just yelled. He slowly gets up and I aimed for the same right front armpit again. Fired. I see the impact and the blood blow out. He turns around facing east to try to go uphill to get away from me.,he didn't make it. He made it about 25 yards east and rolled. I could see all four hoofs up in the air in the sage. A couple of jerks of the hoofs and he expired. My son Arrived as well as a friend to help out. I gutted him out and we used a tarp to drag him out. After I got him skinned out I could see two puncture holes on the right side, the entrance, almost touching. I call him a "Tough Buck".
He has 6 points on the left side but the eye guard is under the 1 inch rule. So I'm calling it 5.
The right is 4 plus 1 eye guard way over the 1 inch rule. That's a 5.

Let's cut right to the end of the story: Ordinary people have already tumbled off the precipice.
There will be no dramatic rescue at the height of the tension, with crashing, ominous music turning to a sunshine ditty, a government handout straining to reach you, to save you from tumbling over the lip of the cliff.
Instead the government is going to intentionally bump into you, making it look like an accident, head turned away, mumbling an apology, much like a pick-pocket does in a crowd, with the object to lift your wallet.
So, yes; however much they...

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (Dec. 11, 2009) — Joel Rosario equaled the Hollywood Park record originally set by the great Bill Shoemaker in 1953 with six wins on a soggy afternoon Friday at The Track of Lakes and Flowers.
Rosario, a 24-year-old native of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, connected with his six remaining mounts after finishing second in the first race on the eight-race program. Cadillac, his scheduled mount in the seventh race, was scratched Friday morning.
Rosario won five consecutive races, sat out the seventh, and then rode eighth-race winner Stockings to stretch his personal streak to six straight victories. The six-pack boosted his total to 31 wins through 21 days of the 27-day Autumn Meet. He leads the standings by eight wins over Rafael Bejarano.
"The first time I do this in my life," Rosario said. "I won five before and was second and third, but now six, so I am very happy. I feel great, not many jockeys do that, so I am very happy for this.
"I always like my horses," he added "You ride your horses, I don't care if they are 99-1 or even money, we have a chance to win."
Rosario's wins came on Pick To Click ($6.80), Yankee Romance ($2.60), Madeline Ruby ($6.40), A Clever Ten ($5.40), Free Lunch ($3.20) and Stockings ($3.40). He rode each winner in the Pick Six with the exception of Hunch in the seventh race. With more than 1,000 perfect tickets, the Pick Six payoff was a mere $80.80.
Shoemaker set the Hollywood Park record of six wins with eight mounts on June 20, 1953, and also clicked with six of seven mounts on June 24, 1970. Laffit Pincay Jr. rode six winners with nine mounts on April 27, 1968, and Kent Desormeaux rode six winners with ten mounts on July 3, 1992.
Rosario twice rode five winners at the 2009 Spring/Summer Meet, while Bejarano did so once while setting a Hollywood Park record for stakes wins on a program as his five came on Gold Rush Day when all races are stakes.

Ecotourism was born in the Alps and is still thriving there. This is a place where the outdoors imbues the lives of everyone and there is insight and inspiration to be gained just watching Alpine residents engage their environment naturally. All kinds of activities are accessible. Deep valleys are full of flat paths to walk and bike. Lifts reach some of the highest summits and even ambitious hikes and bike rides can offer downhill grades -- with a wealth of trail-side restaurants and overnight accommodations.
At the 10th Alpine Conference in Evian/F in March 2009 a climate action plan was adopted, which set itself the goal of making the Alpine region a model for prevention and adjustment to climate change.
At the suggestion of Germany, the action plan provides for an assessment of the conditions required to enable the Alpine region to become "carbon-neutral" by 2050.
CIPRA, the Alpine network of protected areas, ISCAR and the WWF have been involved in the "Ecological Continuum" project for the establishment of an ecological network covering the entire Alpine region since 2007.
In times of climate change it is particularly important to ensure that the landscape does not present obstacles to the passage of migratory species.
With new financial support from the Swiss MAVA Foundation for Nature the Consortium partners will be able to build on the successful groundwork.

Glaciers in the European Alps are melting very fast, so much so that the mountains could be almost ice free by the beginning of the next century. A study, to be published in the Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that the Alps will become almost free of ice by 2100, given a nine-degree-Fahrenheit (five-degree-Celsius) rise in summer air temperature. A temperature increase of 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) would see glacier cover shrink by 80 percent by the end of the century.
Since skiing is one of the main attractions in the Alps, no snow is bad news. Some ski resort operators have begun covering their slopes in a variety of anti-solar protective materials. This is only a small step to slow down the shrinking of the glaciers. Rapidly melting glaciers could make Alpine towns and resorts defenseless against catastrophic floods and rock falls.
