A great day on the lake with my buddies Timm and Jake.

The link below is the best and most comprehensive short summary of global warming I have ever read.   It was written by John Colman who was the founder of the Weather Channel.  It’s about a 5 minute read.  http://www.kusi.com/weather/colemanscorner/19842304.html

31,000 scientists refute global warming, 9,000 of those with Ph.D’s.  500 scientists have issued public statements challenging global warming!  There are also more than 100 defectors from the UN IPCC, with the list growing larger every week.  To put this in context it has been 31,00 vs Al Gore’s dwindling 2,500 who are associated with the UN IPCC. 

So where is this “General Consensus” in the scientific community Al Gore claims exsists?

Those of you infected with Bush Derangement Syndrome “BDS” should think again about blaming our President for high fuel prices.  The ones to blame are those who have been feverishly fighting to tie America’s hands behind her own back.

Since the death of my beloved Dell Laptop also know by many as “Hell Laptops” I have been searching for a reliable Desktop to use as my Home Computer.  Why a desktop and not another laptop?  Everybody wants a Laptop. Most also want to believe (more importantly want others to believe) their lives require serious portable power.  When it comes down to it there are very few who require a powerfull laptop.  Some examples would be Business Owners, Tech Managers, Graphic Gurus(Photo People) or the Serious Entrepreneur.  Of course there are thousands of reasons to own a powerfull laptop.  Having said that, as far as a loptop goes I think 90+% of us would be just fine with something that can simply write documents and access the internet. 

Instead of paying $2,000 plus dollars to win bragging rights amongst my peers I did a little shopping around and found a $600 dollar computer that blows most of my competion out of the water, the “Gateway GT5628″.  This would be a good time for many to reflect if they consider themselves in the material  competition.  Anybody else have a “Intel Core 2 Quad Processor”?  I didin’t think so!  What does it mean to have a “Quad Processor”?  Almost nothing right now,  Give it a year or so and it will.  That’s right folks I’m on the tip of the technological spear!Lol

 If your wondering why it is called the “Woot Computer”  check out www.woot.com  One of the coolest retail sites on the www.

Last Christmas I recieved another great bonus.  Part of my bonus was the Kimber Custom II pictured above.  I have for years been reluctant to purchase a full sized 45ACP on my own because of the high price tag on the gun itself along with the ammunition.  I have also had gun nuts tell me that the 45 is such a slow round that just about anybody would be better off with a 9mm or 40.  Depending on the load configuration the 45acp will usually fire between 800 and 1000 fps.  A 9mm will fire at 1000 to 1400 fps, again depending on the configuration of the cartridge.

 One of those same gun nuts who happens to work at the gun counter at Cabelas told me a man can be shot several times with a 9mm and shake it off.  I don’t think so!  Anyways it is important to mention why Brother John M Browning (a mormon) invented the gun in the first place.  During the late 1800’s the US Army was in the Philippines fighting the pesky Moros.  (The same people who are responsible for the Islamic Insurgency in the Philippines today)  The Calvary would ride into their strong holds on horseback armed with 38 caliber pistols.  It did not take long for the Army to realize the 38 did not have the knock down power necessary to efficently neutralize the threat of these little guys with big knives.  Note: The 38 back then would shoot between 900 and 1100 fps, Very compariable to the 9mm.  

Long story short folks, 1\2 Mass times Velocity squared tells you all you need to know.  The 45 with the right ammo with give you almost double the kenetic energy compaired to other rounds.
