Thieves steal anything negotiable! Burglars are opportunists. They take whatever they think they can exchange for something they want, including cash. In fact, cash tops the list of things that burglars take from homes. The reasons are obvious. It is readily negotiable. Its surprising how many people still keep large amounts of it in their home. They often provide no extra security for the cash. Most often, cash is stuffed in a drawer where it is easily accessible to the burglar. Burglars know exactly where to look to find the things of value. Hiding cash under the drawer does little good. Most seasoned burglars will discover it within a few seconds. Thieves know their chances of getting caught...
Sam's Hunt
Sam was the youngest of our children. I had begun to expose him to the outdoors and the shooting sports at an early age. What other youngster could say that he had shot his daddys pistol at age six? Every time that Sam touched a gun he was under intense scrutiny. Safety was the primary concern. He began to accompany me on my deer hunting trips. We had a cabin located in prime hunting territory where deer were abundant.. The usual things happened on those occasions. Sitting in a tree with his dad was not enough. He would talk and use the tree trunk for a drum set on most hunting trips. Singing was his number one priority on these excursions. I never saw any deer on my trips to the deer...
I really do not hope your are eating something, but did you know that you can get a fake dog pile in long or round bits for a joke. My younger son had initiated this research of mine, by asking why I pick up the dog's business, even though he had done it on the grass.As a slight diversion, I found out that the meaning of pepper - our westie dog -is "An animal full of zip" Believe he has plenty of zip if you are trying to get him into the bath.To get back to the topic in hand (sorry that was a bad turn of phase), please be responsible and try and clean up after your dog. There are a number of diseases and illnesses that can be caused by contact with dog poo. One is stomach upsets, but the most...
Hunting Safety
Every year about 900 hunters are killed or injured in hunting accident. Dick Cheney, our Vice President just shot his Texas friend of thirty years in the neck and face. Cheney is an experienced hunter and proved that a hunter must continually be on guard to prevent accidents. Cheney suffered great sorrow because of the accident as you would if you shot your friend or even a stranger.Many Americans know about guns and their hazards. In the west, boys own guns at a very young age. Some girls learn about guns too. They know guns are dangerous.Many learn about guns in the military. They learn rifle range rules to keep from shooting the target monitors and each other. Most states have gun laws that...

Cleaning an airsoft gun often confuses many airgun users. Many ask if precision airsoft guns require periodic maintenance. Yes, an airsoft gun does require a certain amount of upkeep. In fact an airsoft gun should be maintained the same way that you would maintain a firearm. Now, that last statement is what confuses many airsoft gun users. There are differences and similarities between an airsoft gun and a regular firearm. A precision airsoft gun is not related mechanically to firearms the airsoft gun still requires general maintenance that closely resembles pneumatic tools or automotive shock absorbers. An airsoft gun cleaning kit is a must have for airgun owners. An airsoft gun cleaning kit can be...
Car rust has been and continues to be one of the most hated subjects among car owners. It is very strange that though people whine a lot about car rusting, they hardly do anything either to prevent or to mend rusting. The negligence and non-maintenance of cars takes it toll on the metal (steel) body of the car, which would otherwise have lasted a lifetime. A little paint chipping here, a dent there exposes the metal to the elements of nature and what initially show up as tiny bits of rusting soon eats into the metal. Considering the ease with which the car rust could be prevented, this just seems unpardonable.Once some damage is done to your vehicle, the best way to halt the car rust is to attend to...
Military Surplus vs Modern Commercial Guns
Military Surplus Guns or MilSurps can be an extra great deal. I was first turned onto milsurps about a year ago. Since then I have become Cruffler or Curio and Relic Firearms Licenced. It basically allows me to purchase curio and relic, C&R firearms, both longarms and short, via the internet or local dealer without a waiting period and have them shipped directly to my house. Now before all you anti-gun nuts out there get in an uproar, C&R firearms are over 50 years old and/or listed as a relic by the BATF, so it's cool. Now onto the topic. I collect and enjoy shooting anytype of gun, new or old. I prefer Milsuprs though and here's why.First of all they're cheap. My first Milsurp, a Russian Mosin...
Abused Cats
Abused cats can be terribly maimed and damaged on the outside. They can even appear quite normal on the outside and all the damage might be emotional. The emotional damage is harder to repair. A physically damaged cat will still respond positively to a soft voice and touch. They seem to know that the abuse will not continue anymore. With an emotionally abused cat, you will need to let the cat come to you. Feed and care for it conscientiously. If you have another, more loving cat, the example to the abused cat will be good for it and will serve to draw the cat out. Screaming, yelling, startling, and indiscriminate use of disciplinary tools, such as a water pistol can cause emotional...
Classic Chevy's - 1957 Chevrolet - Part 3
When Chevrolet introduced its completely redesigned cars in 1955, body styles were revised annually, giving each model year a distinct and easily identifiable look. The final phase of Chevy's three year 1955-1957 design cycle concluded with chrome and fins. One Chevy ad described the 1957 Chevrolet as "Sweet, Smooth and Sassy". The all new styling on the 1957 Chevrolet was sweet, the new turboglide transmission was smooth and the new fuel injected 283 V-8 was very sassy.The new 1957 Chevy had visible styling changes to the grille, front and rear bumpers, quarter panels, taillights and hood ornaments. Chevy's 1957 facelift was carefully detailed for a longer and lower look. The front bumper and...
How To Go About Refinishing Hardwood Floors
Some people will tell you that sanding is the best thing to do while refinishing hardwood floors. However, that is not so. The fact is that your hardwood floor has a particular character that it has developed through decades, and sanding destroys most of it. Some of the wood is also removed, and the floor becomes thinner as a result. And all the dust that sanding creates will prevent you from applying a new finish smoothly. So is there another way of refinishing hardwood floors? Yes, there is. And a better one at that. This alternative is inexpensive too, apart from being much easier to handle. The floor's protection is renewed, its character is preserved, and you retain all the wood. Now what could...
Owning an airsoft rifle is the dream of every kid who just never really grew up. When we were kids we wanted the ultimate toy - a pellet gun that looked like what we saw in the movies.

A Guide To Rebound Hardness And Scleroscope Test
Introduction Explore, as you will, the relationship between rebound hardness and Scleroscope, you shall be introduced to a rather unique hardness measure test - the Rebound Hardness Test or the Dynamic Hardness Test. The Rebound Hardness Test measures hardness of materials in terms of the 'height of rebound of the indenter' dropped on the materials surface with the help of a special device known as the 'Scleroscope'. Put in other words, the Scleroscope measures hardness in terms of the elasticity of the material, where the hardness number is dependent on the height to which the hammer rebounds. The harder the material, the higher is the rebound. The Scleroscope test to determine rebound hardness...
Antique Gun And Powder Flask Repairs
In good condition, these guns are valuable antique collectors' pieces. Others that require a bit of work can often be cleaned and restored by amateurs. Cast-metal parts or wooden blanks, which can be shaped to replace damaged or missing stocks, can be obtained from specialist suppliers. Even old gunpowder explodes, so be sure that any gun being repaired is not loaded. Insert the ramrod, or a length of wood, into the barrel to check if there is any obstruction. If there is, remove it with a modern shotgun-cleaning rod that has a screw tip, or use an ordinary steel screw soldered to a stiff piece of wire. Screw the rod gently into the obstruction and pull it out like a cork. Wash the barrel...

Taxing Your eBay Profits
As a small business person-slash-advice columnist I dread the first quarter of the new year. Not because in my mind my own business fortunes start at zero again every January or because I have already dismissed every New Year's resolution I made when the clock rang out the New Year. No, the reason I dread the first quarter of the new year is that my email box floods with questions about business taxes and the IRS, my two least favorite subjects on earth. It's not that I am opposed to paying my fair share of business taxes. It's that I consider the IRS to be a little like Beetlejuice, the movie demon who appeared only after his name was called three times in a row. My fear is if I write too many IRS...

A Great Question!
It's a question that we went back and forth with for awhile ourselves many moons ago. The "how" and "why" of our conclusions may be of some interest. Whether or not anyone agrees with them, well at the least you'll fully understand the basis for them.The question is this:Why does Fairbairn stress the straight thumb in line with the barrel, even for one handed shooting?Years ago when we first began our attempt to sort out the mechanics, methods and reasoning behind this type of shooting we had the exact same question! It really is an excellent question.We need a little history here. When a group of us started to "experiement" with this method of shooting we had all been indoctrinated and trained in...

What's My Mama Gonna Say?
I know you're going to find this hard to believe, but I, Tim Knox, noted humanitarian, former Eagle Scout, and lover of mankind the world over, am a sexist pig.Sorry, mama.

EEZOX - ONE PRODUCT FIREARM MAINTENANCE
EEZ0X since 1984 has proven to be a solvent, lubricant, cleaner, and protector of both the metal on firearms but their stocks as well. Factory finishes on wooden stocks will be preserved and enhanced by the use of EEZOX. My personal firearms have been cared for exclusively by EEZOX since my meeting Mr. Nasca at the Dallas, Texas Shot Show in the late 80's. The hype was so good I purchased a small can. It sat in my gun room several years until I ran out of my old faithful cleaning solvents and in desperation found it behind the bench. Shooting match requires the cleaning to be drudgery. The instructions required the removal of all the other lubricants and solvents prior to applying EEZOX. This...
A widely accepted fact in the gun and firearm industry is that education equals safety. In fact, this rule applies to any industry, and any job. Dr. Piazza and Front Sight Firearm Training Facility understand this. Dr. Piazza is a former chiropractor who realized that too many civilians are unable to knowledgeably and responsibly handle a firearm. This inability and irresponsibility can only lead to disasters and, unfortunately, headlines. With this in mind, in 1996, Piazza founded Front Sight Firearm Training Facility. Through the education that any civilian can receive from Piazza and Front Sight, America has become a considerably safer place to live. Since then, Front Sight has become an...
A Guide for Widows and Divorcess on How to Hire...
Please know you are not alone when it comes to knowing how to hire maintenance help. My husband couldn't hire a window washer, who could do the job correctly. I was the one who did all the research and narrowed the choices down to two or three, of which he could choose. Usually I also made the final decision. However, this wasn't always the case. After he made a few mistakes in hiring, he turned the job over to me. I was so concerned that I would make a mistake that I started asking everyone I knew for advice. Before long I had a system in place to find new people, if I needed too. The first rule is to never start out by talking about price. I know how much the person wants for their services is...

An airsoft hand gun can provide a great deal of enjoyment as a paintball shooting novelty item. Well, perhaps novelty item is a phrase that can be somewhat derogatory. While there is certain intrinsic novelty kitsch to an airsoft hand gun, the fact remains that the airsoft hand gun allows for a unique twist in the game of paintball. The reason for this is because the airsoft hand gun changes the range of the game, requiring participants to get very close to one another and eliminating the long range capabilities that the rifle versions of these guns can involve a significant distance. Also, many airsoft hand guns only fire single shots. This means that there must be a higher level of accuracy...
Marketing Brochures
One thing businesses should always remember is to utilize a wide range of marketing materials in promoting their brand. Putting all your eggs in one basket is a big no-no with marketers and so engaging in more than one medium is highly advisable to ensure a wider reach of your audience. Marketing brochures is a tool most businesses employ since it has the weight and portable advantage of a postcard combined with four times the amount of design real estate. Given these inherent qualities of a brochure, its success now depends on its design and contents and ultimately how your marketing team implements a strategy to project your company's products and services. There are some items you need to...
There is nothing else more rewarding in owning an RC vehicle than having to build one. It is of course recommended for novice RC hobbyists to go for ready made RC cars because it's a lot less complicated to assemble and doesn't consume such time in doing so. But when it comes to cleaning, maintenance and general check up, wouldn't it be a lot better if you knew how to fix and maintain your car on your own? When you build your very own RC car, there could be a lot of work to do but if you're in for a tight budget, this should do it. Ready-made cars is going to cost you probably more than what you have been assuming because, after all, it's already made, all it just needs is a little time for you to...
Rifle, CO; September 29, 2003--On July 6, 1994, 14 firefighters, including Smoke Jumpers from Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Colorado and other western states died when fierce winds fanned towering flames up Storm King Mountain (just west of Glenwood Springs, CO). They had been spending the better part of the day clearing brush and digging trenches to slow the spreading fires, when high winds forced them to run for cover. With nowhere to run, outpacing the fast moving flames was impossible on the steep slopes. Forced to take cover inside their protective shelters as the flames whipped over them, 14 never made it through the firestorm. In September 1998, Colorado musician and JavaMusiK recording artist Jeff...

Faux Pas: a slip or blunder in etiquette, manners, or conduct; an embarrassing social blunder or indiscretion. Last weekend I was at my beach house, away from the rat-race and blissfully, in the middle of nowhere (I love nowhere). Like many areas, it is an internet-unfriendly zone. In order for me to get on-line and be able to write, I needed to drive for fifteen minutes, find reception and do some work in my car, while I listened to the surf. So that's what I did last Sunday at 8am. I found a massive car park (maybe 400 spaces) overlooking the water, with not a soul to be seen. Solitude. Me, 399 empty spaces, four seagulls and some waves. I'm lovin' it. I hop in the passenger side so I can open my...
Captain Jack Sparrow may have been delightfully entertaining, but his modern day colleagues are anything but. While no one likes having to think about the darker side of human nature while enjoying their favorite past time, it would be fool hardy not to secure your boat and ensure the safety of your fellow crew members.
