POPSThe Revolver notebook
More: With the two still shots of the RevolveR Bound Journals above, one might think that they were two different journals at a quick glance, but amazingly enough, they are the same journal. It is very easy to “revolve” from one journal to the next, and the flexibility of having a journal with lined and unlined paper all at once is quite nice. Regardless of which side of this 5 1/2″ by 7 1/2″ journal you are using, it has a magnetic closure on the front side that does a nice job of keeping it securely closed. Some of the other nice features about this notebook are things that you would expect to find with any other high end journal. The very first and very last pages of the journals are writable, and on the lined version, although it is thicker stock, they are both is still lined. Another nice feature is that regardless of which journal you are using, they both lay perfectly flat when open, and I know that many people enjoy having their journals stay flat and open like thi

POPS85-Year-Old Granny Pulls Gun On Intruder, Makes Him Call 911 Good for you Granny! :lol: She grabbed a .22-caliber revolver that she said she began keeping by her bed when a neighbor's home was burglarized recently. "I motioned with the gun -- 'Come on' -- and he went ahead of me in the hallway to the living room, and we got by the telephone and I said, 'Call the cops,' and he picked it up and he dialed 911," said Smith. Smith was able to hold the teenager at bay until the state troopers arrived. "I put him on the floor," Smith said. "I said, 'Lay down on the floor, turn your head that way, spread-eagle your arms and your legs.' That's what they told me to do, and I did it." The suspect will be charged as a juvenile with attempted burglary and related offenses, police said. His name was not released because of his age.

POPSOutlaw Josey Wales: "Road Agent's Spin" The " road agent's spin " is the famous move Clint does with his pistols at 4:00 minutes into this clip. My dad taught me how to do this move on an old black-powder revolver. Clint is much smoother than I ever got. It's often mislabeled the "border shift" which is a different maneuver involving tossing your empty gun from your firing hand to your off hand, while simultaneously tossing a loaded gun from your off hand to your shooting hand. "Road agent" is the American western term for what the English would call a "Highwayman", i.e. a horse-mounted bandit. Interesting fact: In Britain, a Highwayman was considered a higher class of criminal than a mere "footpad", because at least the highwayman could afford to keep a horse. Better to be robbed by the poor and aristocratic, rather than the merely poor.

POPS'Lethal Warriors' in Iraq, linked to string of crimes back home
The Army was quick to downplay any link between what he and the other soldiers saw in Iraq and the allegations against them. "Anybody that does crimes of that nature, it goes deeper and farther back than anything in the U.S. Army," said Lt. Col. Brian Pearl, the 2-12's commanding officer. "Nothing here has trained them to do what they are charged with." Yet there is a larger story of those who fought with the 700-soldier unit: a string of alleged robberies, domestic violence and senseless murder. Six of the veterans are behind bars, implicated in four separate shooting incidents and five slayings since August 2007. The killings stretch from Colorado to an Orange County beach town, where a veteran of the company is accused of beating his girlfriend to death. In October, a soldier who served in Iraq with another Ft. Carson unit was charged with slitting a woman's throat and leaving her to die in the foothills near Colorado Springs, prompting U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Colo.) t

POPSSeeing the Invisible Schlieren photography, which “takes an invisible phenomenon and turns it into a visible picture”... Schlieren is German for “streaks”; in this case it refers to regions of different densities in a gas or a liquid, which can be photographed as shadows using a special technique. Beautiful...
