There’s a new button over on the sidebar, it looks like this:

That will take you to American Snipers where you can donate items or money to support snipers over in Iraq and Afghanistan.

First be advised that NO funds or equipment from this endeavor will be used to supplement someone’s salary (Snipersonline / AmericanSnipers.org has no paid employee’s) or pad the coffers of this association. ALL FUNDS and GEAR will be used to support the snipers that are in need of our help. Individuals and companies have chosen to help support forward deployed snipers, our brothers in arms, by supplying them with items they need to get the job done and generally making their lives easier while on deployment.

I gave them a donation. Maybe you can help too.

If you’ve been sleeping for the last two years you might not have heard about Monster Hunter International.

I read it back in January, 08 when Larry Correia self published it. I loved it.

It was subsequently picked up by Baen and is now available at Amazon and your local book store. (Assuming it hasn’t sold out – it’s very popular)

If you like your monsters evil and your heros real, then pick it up. You won’t be disappointed.

Just saw Up with my daughter. Not at all what I expected.

The story was good. Really good. If the first part doesn’t at least make your eyes water a bit, then you’re not human.

The 3D was done well. No in your face, “Hey look, 3D!” moments.

Highly recommended.

I liked it.

Note to Hollywood: More like this please.

Read and learn:

Face it: If your gun hasn’t broken something, you’re not shooting it enough. Or you’re incredibly lucky. But don’t kid yourself that it won’t happen. Springs and extractors are wear parts. That means they wear. Which means they break. Replace them on a schedule.

I’ll take it one step further. If you rarely shoot your carry gun, you’re not doing yourself any favors. Daily carry is tough on a gun. Moisture, salt and dirt build up in the most inconvenient places, which means your gun could (And Murphy says it will) fail at the worst possible time.

Keep parts kits on hand, and shoot regularly. Besides, it’s more fun.
