Go Broncos

At the Texas Bowl Broncs are down by 24 against Rice however I am perpetually optimistic that the Brown and gold will march to victory.  Pepperstroli shots are on me if there is an awesome comeback!


Pay Raise for Lawmakers?

How would you like to have a $4,700 cost-of-living increase starting in January? Well, it looks like our congressmen and women will get one. How much will this cost the taxpayers? $2.5 million.

Oh yeah! Where's my bailout?

Virginia Gun Sales

From the VCDL mini-update

Member Gary Smith of Handgun Hunter Magazine sent us the latest
statistic on Virginia gun sales. I'm proud to say that a number of
VCDL members, including me, contributed to the count. Gary wrote:

I thought you might like to know this statistic. In November the VASP
processed nearly 40,000 gun purchases. This set a new record for
monthly purchases. The previous record was in Dec. 1993 and was
32,000+ purchases.

Gee, I wonder why so many guns were sold?

Innocent Until Proven Guilty?

Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty?" I'm always amazed, but probably shouldn't be, at how quick people are to convict someone when they don't know all the facts. As we all know, the media is ALWAYS RIGHT!

The President is "Elected" today!

In case you did not know, the electoral college meets today and elects the President!  Wonder who they will vote for?

I think this says it all... However one should consider asking for a box of .45 ammo as well.

Beware the Facebook Worm...

If you are a facebook user take heed.. Don't run the java update and be ready to de bug your box!

Got this from a friend and am running it now!


I
ran a malwarebytes scan to remove my worm, and then immediately rebooted. 
I then ran a Norton scan that showed clean.  But I still had to correct
the proxy settings in my browsers (I use both IE and Firefox) and I found that
info in a blog. Here is the excerpt from the blog that explains the proxy
setting fix:



 



It also modifies the Proxy to http=127.0.0.1:8181

To fix this:

In IE: Tools Menu -> Internet Options -> Connections Tab ->Lan
Settings > uncheck "use a proxy server" or reconfigure the Proxy
server again in case you have set it previously.

In Firefox in Tools Menu -> Options... -> Advanced Tab -> Network Tab
-> "Settings" under Connection.



 



This link
explains more about it…and gives a complete manual fix – which may or may not
also do the proxy fix above.  I did not go this route, so I can’t say for
sure. This site does have a link to the malwarebytes download, if you want to
try it.

Scribe Fire Blogging

I have the ScribeFire plugin for Firefox that I always forget to use when crafting up a blog entry.  It is actually a very good tool for updating blogs.  I really need to use it more.  Hence the reason for this posting.  A way to play with ScribeFire and blogging.  If you are new to blogging, a friend of mine, Brent is posting some pretty good gouge on how to blog, what to blog about and setting up your blog.  If you have a few minutes check out his blog, it is pretty good.
