(via The Portable Nuclear Bomb Shelter - Neatorama)

American inventor Harold C. Tifft’s portable protective shield. You can read a copy of his patent here.

The shelter consists of a shell made from steel, titanium, aluminum, and shatter-resistant glass that will provide protection from radiation and debris set in motion by nearby atomic detonations.  There's a convenient carrying case for those users who are foolhardy enough to think that they will have time to unpack and assemble the kit in time. That's definitely an unnecessary risk.

He also references propaganda put out by the Makhnovists attacking anti-Semitism as a tool of the aristocracy, Jewish militias that fought among the Makhnovists, and actions against pogromists personally carried out by Makhno.

Hidden Gems in Buffalo NY: Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventures

Buffalo, NY, often recognized for its rich history and iconic architecture, has a wealth of hidden gems that offer off-the-beaten-path adventures for the curious explorer. These lesser-known spots promise unique experiences that go beyond the city's well-trodden attractions.

Start your adventure at Silo City, a testament to Buffalo’s industrial past. This cluster of abandoned grain elevators has been repurposed into a cultural and artistic hub. Wander through the towering silos, attend poetry readings, or enjoy outdoor concerts amidst a backdrop of industrial ruins. The site offers a hauntingly beautiful juxtaposition of nature reclaiming human-made structures.

Next, immerse yourself in nature at Tifft Nature Preserve, a tranquil oasis just a few miles from downtown. This 264-acre preserve is home to diverse wildlife, serene walking trails, and a picturesque boardwalk over marshlands. It's an ideal spot for bird watching, photography, or simply unwinding in a natural setting away from the city's hustle.

For a taste of Buffalo's quirky side, visit the Buffalo Museum of Science and explore the Rocks, Gems, and Minerals exhibit. Here, you can marvel at a stunning collection of geological wonders, including rare gems and fossils. This exhibit offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history that shaped the region.

Don’t miss Larkin Square, a revitalized urban space in the Larkinville district. Once a bustling industrial area, it now hosts food truck rallies, outdoor markets, and live music events. The whimsical decor and vibrant atmosphere make it a delightful spot to relax and enjoy local flavors.

Finally, venture to the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. While it may not be entirely off the radar, its lesser-known night tours and seasonal flower shows reveal an enchanting side of this horticultural haven that many overlook.

Buffalo's hidden gems provide a blend of history, nature, and culture, offering adventures that showcase the city’s rich and diverse character. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, these off-the-beaten-path destinations are sure to enrich your Buffalo experience.

Stump grinding is an essential service for homeowners and property managers who need to remove tree stumps efficiently and safely. Unlike traditional methods that involve digging out the stump and roots, stump grinding employs a powerful machine to grind the stump into small wood chips, leaving the area ready for replanting or landscaping.

The process begins with assessing the stump and its surroundings. Professional stump grinders evaluate the size, type of wood, and proximity to structures or underground utilities. This assessment ensures the grinding process is both effective and safe. Once the area is deemed clear, the stump grinder—a machine equipped with a rotating cutting disk with sharp teeth—grinds the stump down to below ground level. Get more info.

Stump grinding offers several benefits. Firstly, it is much quicker than manual removal, which can be labor-intensive and time-consuming. A typical stump can be ground down in a matter of hours, depending on its size and hardness. Secondly, grinding is environmentally friendly. The wood chips produced can be repurposed as mulch, which helps retain soil moisture and reduce weeds in gardens. Additionally, stump grinding prevents the regrowth of trees from the remaining roots and eliminates the potential for pests and diseases that can inhabit decaying stumps.

Moreover, stump grinding improves the aesthetics and safety of a property. Leftover stumps can be unsightly and take up valuable space in gardens or lawns. They also pose tripping hazards and can interfere with lawn maintenance, making mowing more difficult and damaging equipment. By grinding down the stump, the area becomes more uniform and usable for other landscaping projects. https://www.google.com/maps?cid=5230268347574751323

Choosing professional stump grinding services ensures the job is done efficiently and correctly. Professionals have the necessary equipment and expertise to handle various stump types and sizes, ensuring that the remaining ground is level and free of hazards. They also handle any clean-up, leaving your property neat and ready for your next project.

In conclusion, stump grinding is a practical, efficient, and eco-friendly method for stump removal, enhancing both the functionality and appearance of your landscape.

NASCAR Update: Brain Tumor Survivor Matt Tifft Announces Massive 30-Race Itinerary Amidst Racing Return

[lorenzlund]

Zwei Kanzler gleichzeitig waren es auf Dauer auch!! Ich bin wieder nach Berlin zurueckgekehrt! Raiter, Maximilian

Ich muss dieses Schau-Spieler Double dass da immer offensichtlich nur mich jedes Mal erneut dadurch gibt oder spielt im Kanzleramt, und einsame Entscheidungen trifft, immer wieder, die keiner wirklich versteht, vor allem das Volk nicht, jetzt doch vielleicht einmal zurueckpfeifen! Es geht alles bestaendig viel zu weit, was er da macht!

'Wer hat den Wagen zugelassen?? Der ist nicht länger mehr wirklich verkehrstüchtig! Das erkennt man doch!! Zieht ihn besser aus dem Verkehr!!" "Das ist ein Oldie und kein Neuwagen!"

das K(f)z: *fart, kraeftiger + Zeug.

'Bienenersatzverkehr für oder anstelle von bisherigen nur Busen'. Der Schienenersatzverkehr mit Bussen. (Für alle männliche Hummeln).

'Arbeiten an der beständig nur der falschen Stelle oder Stellen befreit von allen bisherigen Sorgen! Und andere gleich mit, die sie mit euch hatten, oder beständig glaubten auch zu haben!!' ('Arbeit macht frei!') ('Kraft durch Freude/*'mit dem bi-veranlagten Boy'). Das selbst: 'Com-centres'-(Mitten)-Aktions Lager' für andere. 'Freisein, wirkliche Freiheit, ist doch nur ein anderes Wort für wenn wir selber länger schon nicht das Geringste mehr auch verlieren können als Männer, weil auch wir es inzwischen gar nicht mehr besitzen'

'Ein Freund, ein von jetzt an guter Freund' (beste Stücke von Männern), Wer ist der beste Freund des Mannes? 'Und wenn dein Schatz dich auch von da an nicht mehr liebt!!" '... ein guter Freund, so ein richtig guter Freund, ist das Schönste was es gibt auf der Welt!"

Weg/Ab + es ist seins! Das sogar auch 'Abseits' des Fussballs oder die Abseitsregel in ihm als Sport. Auch Frauen verfuegen bekanntlich ueber Regeln eigene! 'Sport ist Mord!'

Wie das Land danach wohl aussieht! Landschaftspfleger bei der Arbeit beobachtet

Fuer ein sauberes Potsdam! (so lautete nur einer von den Schriftzuegen). Baumfaeller in Potsdam waehrend der Arbeit.

Haltebalken roter.

Der SV. *Ass Pfau Werder Bremen. Männlicher Pfau. 'SEV'. Fussballclub 'B-ayer 'n Munich' *'n : in, the club (der Holzprügel), (american) baseball club *base- : bi-ass, 'Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Schläger Band (oder Gang)', hart (sein), hartes Holz. Und der 'Homo' hat nun oder kann deswegen nur davonlaufen : Home run!! Der 'Spieler' unter Männern. Ballspiele. Die Ersatzdroge. 'Spielen macht süchtig!'

'Schaft durch(sticht) Boy be' *Kraft durch Freude. das Kfz oder auch: Kraft(voller) Fart Zeug. Es gehoert Maennern. (Zumindest in der Regel wird es einem von ihnen gehoeren dann!).

Erstmals selber in Armee-Hose (und Stiefeln) waehrend des Fotografierens.

Forza Italia Silvio Baer(en)lus(t) (auf) Po nie(!) der Bello Italia. Bella ... (Der) Bello: Wau Wau Wau! Der Bello, hier der aus Italien, tifft dabei auf seine Feinde frueh morgens auf dem Bergpass. Er muss sich nun wehmuetig von seinen Freunden anderen Hunden deswegen verabschieden! Wahrscheinlich fuer immer! So heisst es ueber ihn im Lied!

'Mariner Marina ... Dein Chic und Charme der gefaellt!!'

*Niemals aber sang einer das Lied wehmuetiger als Hannes der Bader in seiner deutschen Uebersetzung oder mit noch mehr Wehmut in der Stimme als er! Er beruehrte damit auch die Herzen von Deutschen! Jedoch bei Bader fehlte die Aftershow im Anschluss von anderen Saengern fuer einen auserwaehlten Zirkel besonders treuer und vielleicht auch als besonders hartnaeckig geltende Fans! Er war dafuer nicht bekannt!

Sicherlich leiden auch italienische Schueler unter Jobbing an ihren Schulen sehr stark dann immer wieder auch? Bei uns in den 70 ern gab es das so noch nicht! Mir wurden schlicht keine angeboten!

Sin (by) Po nie. Der Sin Po nie ticker. Klassik for Classics. Classic boy ist der alteingesessene Weisse Europas zusammen mit dem girl das auch ihm gehoert. *Immer mehr fehlen gerade auch die deutschen Namen unter den auftretenden Stars, bei sowohl Solisten wie Dirigenten! Es faellt schlicht auf! (Nur das Ausland scheint sie selber noch in hinreichender Zahl zu besitzen diese wichtigen auch Klassikgroessen, so dass diese vor dem eigenem Publikum auch auftreten koennten, oder einheimischen Deutschen! Kein geringer Vorwurf! Das Ausland auf deutschen Konzertboeden ist dabei mehr und mehr allein, es bleibt gaenzlich fuer sich!! Das ist sehr ungewoehnlich, Deutschland, seine Musiker, aber selbst die Dirigenten, Tenoere auch, gehoerte traditionell immer schon zu den sehr grossen auch noch anderen weltweiten Musiknationen selber mit auch, das war so auch nie anders!
