IDENTIFYING TARGETS? NEWSPAPER PUBLISHES INTERACTIVE MAP SHOWING ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH NO SECURITY OFFICERS
IDENTIFYING TARGETS? NEWSPAPER PUBLISHES INTERACTIVE MAP SHOWING ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH NO SECURITY OFFICERS. This smells to us like they’re just begging for another nutcase to massacre more kids to further their anti-gun agenda. We pray no one uses this to do evil, but if they do, we hope the people who run this paper and Gannet are prosecuted as accessories to murder. This is tantamount to yelling fire in a crowded public place.

Company releases new bacon-flavored condoms. Well, someone had to say it. This gives whole new meaning to the term ‘getting porked.’
Video: Planned Parenthood Official Argues for Right to Post-Birth Abortion
Video: Planned Parenthood Official Argues for Right to Post-Birth Abortion: Planned Parenthood was started with the belief in the right of the few super-humans to sterilize and slaughter the many “sub-humans” that stood in the way of the society they wanted to build. The goals of the progressives have not changed over the decades. But it is utterly chilling that they are starting to openly express them again.

SHARIA IN AMERICA: “INFIDEL” TATTOOED DISABLED VET FORCED TO LEAVE FLORIDA SKYDIVE CENTER AFTER MUSLIMS COMPLAIN. This is a travesty. But what we want to know why all these Muslims are getting parachute training? They planning on jumping out next time before the plane hits the building?
So Many Unsolved Murders in Gun-Free Chicago, It’s Posting Photos of Unclaimed Bodies on its Website
So Many Unsolved Murders in Gun-Free Chicago, It’s Posting Photos of Unclaimed Bodies on its Website. We have a novel idea. How about Chicago PD start solving murder cases instead of coming up with more useless gun laws that only create problems for law-abiding citizens? What? Never mind. That would require critical thinking ability the Democrats obviously don’t possess.

DAD FURIOUS AFTER FINDING THIS CRAYON-WRITTEN PAPER IN FLORIDA 4TH-GRADER’S BACKPACK: ‘I AM WILLING TO GIVE UP SOME OF MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS…TO BE SAFER’
DAD FURIOUS AFTER FINDING THIS CRAYON-WRITTEN PAPER IN FLORIDA 4TH-GRADER’S BACKPACK: ‘I AM WILLING TO GIVE UP SOME OF MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS…TO BE SAFER.’ Here we go. Mere minutes after the previous post we get this. We’re beginning to wonder what the Department of Propaganda Education is up to. Seems like there’s a growing amount of stories about attempts to brainwash children with communist propaganda at public schools lately.

Acoustic bass guitar uses water jug and two strings
It’s easy to dismiss this one at first glance. But once you hear [Tychsen81] playing the thing you’ll want to know more.
He posted the demonstration way back in 2009. It wasn’t until a year later that he filmed the particulars of how the thing was made. The strings are actually bass guitar strings, an A and D string that are tuned down to E and A to play along with Black Sabbath’s “Ironman”. The neck is made out of two boards. One serves as the fingerboard, which is fretless. The other is mounted under that in order to provide negative space for the bridge while keeping the strings at the right height for the fingerboard. The water bottle helps to amplify the sound and that’s why the bottom end of the strings pivot on the bridge, pass through the neck, and are anchored on the bottom edge of the bottle.
We’ve embedded both the demo and the build videos after the break.
If this gets you thinking about making your own instruments you will also be interested in the Whamola.

Solar powered robot mows your lawn while you chill indoors
We’ve heard quite a number of radio ads lately trying to sell an automatic lawn mowing robot (like a Roomba for your grass). But wouldn’t it be a lot more fun to hack your own from an existing lawnmower? That’s what [Daniel Epperson] did. In fact, the project has been ongoing for years. But he wrote in to share the latest development which adds solar charging capabilities to the robot mower.
First off let’s discuss the fact that this is not an electric lawnmower. This is the Prius of lawnmowers, bringing together hybrid technology to cut the grass with the gasoline powered motor, and to propel the rig with electricity. [Danny's] worked hard to shoe-horn just about every feature imaginable (other than autonomy) into the thing, and that’s why the batteries can be charged from mains, an alternator powered by the gas motor, and now from the PV panel mounted on top of it. Get the entire project overview in his roundup post.
This a wireless video feed and the mower is driven by remote-controlled. So you can give your yard a trim without getting sweaty. After the jump we’ve embedded a clip of an earlier revision demonstrating that remote control. If you’re not interest in having all the features you could simply build an analog version.
