9mm Luger (there is also Makarov, but probably not what you are referring to is somewhat different) is.355 inches. All of the reloading manuals I've worked with (American) have the numbers in inches. Length of cases, cartridge overall length are both in inches. In addition weights are all done in grains (1/7000th of a pound).
You picked a single round you've heard of which has a metric sound, since it is called a 9mm. All of the SAAMI specs are in inches for the 9mm (and I am guessing all rounds). http://www.saami.org/specifications_and_information/index.cfm (review page 21 of the ANSI/SAAMI Centerfire Pistol & Revolver pdf).
In addition,.357,.38,.44,.45,.50 are all calibers named after their diameter measured in inches.
Handgun rounds are not always deadly, they often lack penetrating power traveling at a fraction of the speed of a rifle round. The famous 1986 FBI Miami shootout has the agents putting multiple rounds (6 in one, 12 in another). Shot placement is probably the number one important factor in single kills. Though even that doesn't assure a single shot kill. For instance, from news reports at this point it sounds like Representative Giffords will survive while even being shot in the head.
So, your argument is wrong, even in the case of a single assailant. If you are in a situation where there are two or more attackers a single shot will be wholly ineffective.
Actually, there was one valuable resource which was in high demand. The trees in the new world were particularly unique compared to the majority of trees in Europe at the time, which was height. Trees from the new world which had not been harvested prior to European settlement were much taller and more useful as masts.
Same here... worked at Chipman's Farm in the summers when I was a teen.
Personally I don't pay for bottled water though. Instead I pay for a softener and and reverse osmosis filter in my house. I wish I had the same water I had in Poland Spring.
Assuming you are able to barricade yourself and family without having to move about the house the shotgun isn't a bad idea. If you will need to do any sort of movement throughout the house a shotgun is going to be more difficult. But really, use which ever you are more comfortable and more capable.
The scrummaster (who should have learned this in his training) is a team member who's job is to organize the meetings and help "enforce" scrum practices. The scrummaster is not the product owner who sets direction for the team. The scrummaster is just another developer on the team.
In our implementation of scrum the scrummaster's only real job is the setup the meeting announcements. He is also usually the first one to reign us in during standup to keep the meeting to keep it short, though any of the team can mention to take it offline after the standup. Similarly with the planning, review, and retrospective meetings he'll usually be the first to remind everyone of the purpose of the meeting, but anyone on the team can do that.
In my view a scrummaster is only needed to get a scrum team started up to keep things on track instead of letting everything degrade into chaos. After an scrum team is up and running and into a good groove any member of the team can help provide scrummaster-ish direction.
I like those things also. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees. There are a number of factors that drive urban sprawl in the US:
I'm one of those folks who disagree.
1) Housing is expensive in the city and land is much cheaper away from the city.
Two options in the city: pay rent and have to put up with any random neighbor beating on the walls. Or pay through the nose for a house and have higher taxes.
2) People enjoy the freedom of an automobile (something they have to give up living in the city)
This is a huge benefit to owning a vehicle as opposed to taking public transportation. I go where I want when I want.
3) There is a belief that the city is dangerous and not suitable for raising children.
While living in the city I had my car broken into multiple times. Once while it was sitting in a locked car port/garage. I've been yelled at by one of the other apartment's residents being called a "cracker" while out walking with my wife.
I have had no issue living in the country. While out walking with my wife and son I have folks wave and say hello. The folks at the grocery store adore my son and ask where he is when I do not bring him with me.
4) There is a belief that children need a backyard (I honestly never understood this one at all, what good is a backyard when your friends live 10 miles away?)
I spent hours and hours and hours, days and nights, and weekends exploring the woods, fishing, and camping growing up. I would ride my bike up to 30 or miles to visit friends. 10 miles is nothing. Is a backyard required, no. But does it make life interesting and fun, heck yeah. My son is going to be pretty lucky we were able to move back out into the country.
5) There is a belief that the city is unhealthy so they move away for the "fresh air"
The country is cleaner and healthier from my experience. Wild strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries; I could eat jut about any wild fruit I found. I could fish in any stream or lake and fry up my catch. I could drink from any stream I found without worry. Where I am now, I can breath and the worst I might smell is some manure on a field.
The nearest city around us warns against swimming in the river after just about an appreciable rainfall. And don't even think of eating the fish out of the river. When we head into town you can smell the exhaust and lord knows what else in the air.
In the end I think it has to do with an American desire to live in 1950s small town America, but all of the jobs are in major cities. I've noticed that there has been a recent shift toward moving into the city among recent college graduates. I think well planned colleges have made people aware of the fact that they don't have to rely on a car to go everywhere, and services like Zipcar have made people realize that a car is available if they need it.
I have no desire to live in a small town either. We live near a small town, but suburbs we are not. There is maybe one neighborhood (you know where a developer buys land and builds 50 exact same houses) within 10 miles.
As far as jobs only being in the city, well perhaps not so. You have taken a very narrow view of what sorts of jobs exist. If you want to work for someone who has a symbol on the stock market maybe you need to be in a city. On the way into work though (20 miles) I pass numerous farms, trucking training school, a number of small tool and die, a couple specialized manufacturing businesses, and many more.
Folks in the city think they have it all and the "right" view of the world. And for kids just out of school, the city makes sense. When you are looking to keep certain expenses down, do not have children, and are working more than 40 hours, and basically putting all of your effort towards making something for yourself, that is when the city makes sense. To have access to a variety specialty shops and stores or dining, the city has it. But it doesn'
Just think of it. Some of the money could be recouped fairly quickly by charging the natives for a safe place to throw their virgins. It has to be much safer in a geothermal plant (osha regulations and all) throwing in a virgin than the rim of a volcano.
You are looking at the wrong sort of "conservative" and "liberal" on the SCOTUS.
The conservative side of the bench is probably the closest faction of original conservative ideals within the Federal government. It looks at the original interpretations of the US Constitution and intent, which tend to be very much supporting individual rights. The only living and breathing aspect of the constitution comes through amendments to the conservative side of the bench. There is a large disconnect between the Republican party (conservative party) and the conservative members of the SCOTUS.
The liberal side of the bench however has very close ties to the Democratic party and act almost as an extra legislative branch. Their agenda driven and search outside original intent and massage the meanings to support today's ideologies. Their goals are their view of today's justice, not the legality of the law.
Sometimes that video isn't just for you, who is able to be there every day with your child. Grandparents who are unable to be there every day with the child really like to see videos also. Also, not every waking moment needs to be spent actively interacting with your child. Sometimes they need some time to play on their own or with other children. Some of the cutest moments with my son have been spent watching him explore the world around him on his own (and subsequently get stuck in the tupperware drawer).
Yeah, my wife was actually the one that got me to play MMOs originally. Right after we were married she thought she'd like to try EverCrack so we picked up a copy and after a couple nights of watching her play I wound up picking up a copy for myself so we could play together. We finally kicked the habit for a year or two and some friends got us stuck in WoW. Our little boy doesn't let us play at all now though so our accounts just lapsed. So, keep that in mind if you plan on having kids.

Do you really want the government telling you what you cannot eat?
Stay out of my bedroom, welcome to my kitchen?
