MP 43 assault rifle, the first production variant of the Sturmgewehr, left side……And, as commenter sdc notes, of course there’s more to it regarding the Kalashnikov.

This your brain, in the nanny state.

Here’s my contribution if you do a Hallowe’en post.. Look who will be greeting the little punks kids, at our door tonight!
Actually, I’m going to a Hallowe’en party tonight and we are supposed to bring a carved pumpkin. I was going to take the easy way out and do a typical Jack o Lantern. Then, while having a nap, this idea came to me. I remembered I had a good image of Cannon that I had used to make a CD cover (for the endless loop Cannon theme song my friend made), so I blew it up put it in Word and then pinned it on the pumpkin and traced out the image by making hundreds of pinholes, then used a small knife to cut and peel the skin.
Great result for a first time effort, I quite impressed myself. The uneven surface of the pumpkin meat gives the likeness some real character. Other than peeling the pumpkin skin away I did nothing to try to add shadows to the face, they just naturally happened. I then thinned the wall of the pumpkin from the inside so that the candle light would shine through better.
Quite impressive.
Or, you can opt for this.
I think Margaret Wente voted for Rob Ford. I dunno… call it a hunch.
| Here’s a possibly interesting essay that I’ve recently finished writing on some matters relating to some of the transitions that were going on in popular electronic music ’round about the late ’60s and early ’70s: |
Sixty nine years ago animator/producer/director Walter Lantz, the creator of Woody Woodpecker, produced a animated short film set in a fictional place called Lazytown, in America’s deep south, where the weather is hot and humid, and the denizens’ thought processes – and reaction times – are sluggish. Everything seems to happen in slow motion – until, that is, a stylish, lighter-skinned woman from the north shows up to liven things up. Centered around an eponymous song by The Andrews Sisters, here’s the 1941 Universal release Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat.

The provincial government plans to introduce human rights legislation that will dissolve the Saskatchewan Human Rights Tribunal in favour of having a court hear the complaints.
Justice Minister Don Morgan said the change, among other reforms to the Human Rights Code, is being undertaken at the suggestion of Judge David Arnot, chief commissioner of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission. The commission is the body that receives human rights complaints and occasionally refers a matter to a tribunal for a hearing.
“There seemed to be a lot of support for going forward with it so we felt it was an appropriate piece of legislation to bring at this time,” said Morgan, whose Sask. Party government signalled its intent in the throne speech to move forward with changes, which were first discussed in the spring.
“It will allow for a more streamlined process, more mediation and more expedited handling of files. But the most significant thing is it will no longer be the human rights tribunal. The complaints, when they’re referred on, will go directly to the Court of Queen’s Bench,” Morgan said.

Clara Barton, 1857 – “Lining the halls as she came into work, the men made catcalls, spit tobacco juice at her, and blew smoke in her face. “It wasn’t a pleasant experience.” Barton conceded, “in fact, it was very trying, but I thought perhaps there was some question of principle involved, and I lived it through.”
Hollaback, 2010 – At Hollaback!, we’ve heard stories of women leaving their jobs, or breaking their lease, because their commute involved too much street harassment. We’ve heard stories from girls skipping school to avoid harassment. And we’ve heard a surprising number of stories from women who moved out of New York City because they just couldn’t take it anymore.
The late Jacques Tati was a French actor and film director most famous for a series of dialogue-less comedy films featuring a stoically put-upon character named Monsieur Hulot, who was played by Tati himself. In tonight’s amusement, from his 1953 film Les Vacances de M. Hulot (Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday), Hulot and a herd of his fellow travelers cluster together in a train station listening for arrival and departure information via the public address system.

The sea ice page is something that I look at daily at WUWT. I am often perplexed at the sea ice graphs supplied by various organizations on that page, when juxtaposed against the satellite imagery. Today if you look the JAXA and [NSIDC] graphs show the 2010 levels virtually converged with the 2007 levels.
But the satellite image below seems to show a far different picture. Substantially more ice in 2010, but not reflected in the graphs.
I’m sure it’s nothing.
