I'm sure you've probably heard by now... some nine year old girl was at some range in Arizona learning how to fire an Uzi submachine gun (because let's be honest, what 9 year old doesn't need that skill in their arsenal) when she couldn't handle the recoil, and it went over her shoulder shooting...

So as some of you know, or may not have known, over the past decade the US government is taking older, decommissioned military vehicles and donating them at no cost to any police force who apply for them. When I first read about it, it didn't really bother me one way or the other. I figured in...

I'm currently in the process of trying to start a new 90-120 gallon reef tank that I want to keep on the wall of the dining area of my bakery. I'm starting to get concerned about the prospect however, due to the amount of natural sunlight the room gets. The room basically has four 10'x4'...

I'm not exactly new to SW, I'm just several years removed. I had a 55, then upgraded to a 90 reef and fish tank. At the time, I didn't have a sump, refugium, QT, skimmer, or anything else. I basically had day and night T5 lighting, a basic filter, heater, and three powerheads. That was it...

So I just had a deep freezer take a poo-poo on me at the shop. Last time I lost a fridge, I took it to scrap the thing myself, and I think I got like $8 and some change for it. So this time around, I just posted on Craigslist that I had a freezer I wanted to get rid of, free to the first...

My grandfather is now in his late 80's, and is having trouble with either gophers or groundhogs on his property. He has an ancient .22 long rifle that he used to use regularly (and take care of). He called yesterday and said he couldn't get his rifle to fire, so I checked it out and the thing...

I just started a tattoo cover up project (see pictures), and was curious if anyone else has had any saltwater fish/coral themed tattoos done? If so, I would love to see the finished products! I had a guitar with a cross in it that I started in college, but then I realized I was broke and...

So the punishment just came down for Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling. He is banned from the NBA for life (whatever that means, I'm not exactly sure), and will be fined a maximum of $2.5 million. Commish Adam Silver also said he will do everything in his power to see that the owners...

Working in the food industry, and being around a ton of moms with kids... I have seen a disturbing trend the past five years or so. It seems like every mom that comes in here does one thing consistently with her kids, and that is lather them in hand sanitizer before and after they eat their...

Lately here in Ohio, the running thing to complain about is how there are just oh so many potholes from this past winter. This is true. There is no arguing here. Some are like mini Grand Canyons. It's bad. One of my customers brought up a point, which I thought most people kind of knew and...

***This is an article I wrote for a local paper here in Ohio*** This is nothing new. It's been an ongoing, water cooler argument for the past quarter century. The "student" athletes at big-time NCAA colleges bring in billions of dollars for their universities and the NCAA (that's billions...

This little image has been making its way around the Facebook pages in northeast Ohio the past few weeks, with opening day being today. It happens every year, but for some reason this year has been of particular interest to the "everything is racist" crowd. Maybe I am completely blinded by my...

My little hometown of Massillon, Ohio just announced that a $55 million Water Park/Aquarium will be built starting in a few weeks, opening in 2015. If you're interested in the details of what they are going to be, see http://www.cantonaquaworld.com/ for all the specifics. Anyways, it's...

There are some smart people on here (yes, I was being serious). So everyone put on your thinkin' caps, and lets figure out where the heck this missing jet is! The good money says it's more than likely on the bottom of the Indian Ocean, or Bay of Bengal. But what fun is that?!? I want to hear...

My local newspaper has just rolled out a new pricing structure to read their online edition. It will cost you $8.99 per month for access. If you don't pay, you get three articles "for free" per month, and then your IP will be blocked out for the remainder of the month. Mind you, this is a...

So one of the delivery guys for one of my vendors is a friend of mine outside of work. We both play in local bands, and have a lot of the same friends. He comes in today to drop some stuff off and says "Well, I finally got popped for my first DUI. I guess I had it coming since everyone else...

As some of you may know, I own a cupcake bakery. Yesterday, some early 20's something girl and her kid come in. She's blabbing on her cell phone, laughing, carrying on. While doing this, she walks up to the case, and starts pointing. I politely inform her my policy, which is "your phone call...

One of the local Cleveland talk radio hosts (on the FOX News affiliate, for some context) spent four hours the other night on the question of "If it's your kid we're talking about, what do you want their school to do to feel safe from a school shooting?" The answers ranged from metal detectors...

Just curious now that the dust has somewhat settled with Newtown, what's it been like getting rounds where you are? Here in Ohio, it's still next to impossible to find any cheap stuff at WalMart, so I have been hitting the local sporting games store. They sell fifty, 9mm FMJ 115 grain rounds...

I am going to complain about this here, because if I complained on my personal Facebook page, I would be ostracized by friends and family. I'm not sure what it says about my friends and family, but I think this is something that a lot more people than just me can't wrap their heads around. I...
