— Open Blogger As ever, hi there, Morons and Moronettes, and welcome to this evening's combined Irene update and overnight thread. As this is my first ONT, I'm a little nervous about this one, so let's get to the serious side first and then we'll get to the fun.
Bullet points about Irene: 1) still headed for the NYC area and likely to get there at hurricane strength, 2) and importantly- the winds increase sharply with height. 20 and 30 stories up, the wind is going to whip through at about 20 percent higher speed than at the surface. If you're up in the air, make for damn sure you're not near the windows. Anything in the air that high should be considered a real threat.
Update: Tornado Watch in effect until 5 AM for all of DE, the greater Philadelphia area, NYC, Long Island, southern CT, coastal Maryland, and all of NJ.
So let's go below the fold for details...
The storm's forward motion hiccuped a little bit today, and this creates a bit of a bad situation for Long Island Sound. High tide is supposed to be 11 AM on Sunday, and the National Weather Service is calling for tides to be as high as 11 feet above normal.
For New York Harbor and the Long Island South Shore, high tide is supposed to be 8 AM. Water won't be quite as high, but Category 1 storm surge guidance calls for 5-10 feet above normal with water.
Inland flooding will be a concern- guidance with this storm calls for 6-12 inches of rain, and as I understand it, it hasn't exactly been dry over in that neck of the woods.
Tomorrow, we'll shift the updates over to cover New England... CT, MA, RI, NH, and ME have their own fun coming up. It'll probably be a strong tropical storm, but it'll have its own little quirks to deal with.
Finally, not that you need any reminders, but don't go out in this stuff, and for damn sure don't go to the beach. As cool as these are to watch (and believe me, it's awesome to watch God put on His Big Show), you're not only putting yourself in danger, but you're also making work for emergency crews. Don't become a Darwinian statistic, please.
So enough of that shit- let's have some fun!

Bearded Collie Puppies
The bearded collie is the official dog of the tmi3rd household. Great with kids, very obedient, very smart... and I usually have to take Mackenzie (her name) for about a 5K run daily. Not a sedentary dog, but such a huge personality. Very huggy and kissy. She wuvs her Daddy, and her Daddy wuvs her.

I had the good fortune to fly with these guys into Ivan in 2004.
If you're on Facebook, come find us over there, and most of the co-bloggers have their Twitter feeds you can follow as well. Mine can be found at my handle.
Finally, thanks to our noble host, who allows us the use of his megaphone. One of the things that we don't get to see about him all that often is what a gentleman he truly is, and I'm proud to know him and call him my friend.
Over to you, folks- have at it!

I'd rather he were on the golf course. I'd feel safer.
Luckily, I don't have to deal with hurricane Bloomberg. He's shut down more of the city than any hurricane. They're probably going to cut power off for people who stayed, just to stick it to them.
The Verizon thugs gave in too quickly. They could have cut every wire in sight and blamed it all on Irene. And Verizon would probably have to hire them back quickly just to get the repairs done. The poor little union thugs screwed the pooch by a week ...

I spent 3 grand on my desktop about 4 years ago. And its still a beast though I did increase my RAM from 2 to 4 gb this spring and upgraded my video card. And I think its only a duo core.

I spent 3 grand on my desktop about 4 years ago. And its still a beast though I did increase my RAM from 2 to 4 gb this spring and upgraded my video card. And I think its only a duo core. But if you're spending that much money it damn well better still be able to handle new games coming out 4 years later like mine can.

Eh. I don't want to waste my time upgrading. I want it closed up and forgotten about unless absolutely necessary like when my video card crapped out and I needed a new one. Though I maybe should have checked the dimensions before buying because that new sucker barely fit in the tower, and my tower is huge.

Seriously, if it had just been me and the family I think I might have jumped into the river...The food in NO is definitely amazing. I'm surprised I didn't have to buy a second airplane seat because I ate so much. On the other hand, the constant walking in the heat maybe balanced out the binging.

I have a pal from grade school who knew me all the way till HS and hes an ATF agent... we were griping about the source for the tactical gear, and the fact we both get so excited over boxes from that place, anyway. Tactfully he didnt ask what i got. Its like two married baptists running into each other at the strip joint...

Both, if you actually read the entire post....
Ya, just spent 5 minutes composing a comment only to have the post go poof.
Basically, this Geller stuff is crap... the members of the Texas State Board of Education are elected, thus Gov. Perry has little to do with their activities other than endorsements. More importantly, the Board's composition has swung substantially to the right in the past few years, and the left was apoplectic last year when it made major changes to the liberal's alternative-reality based history books. A very important action as Texas is the second largest market in the US, so this will influence books used by many jurisdictions.

Rick Perry will be elected President of the United States of America.
The Democrat party will lose 11 of 13 contested seats in the US Senate.
The Democrat Party will cease to exist as a Progressive party (or that will be the only thing they stand for).
The Democrat party will only hold the big cities like San Fransisco, Chicago and New York City.
The map will look like 2004, but worse for Democrats.

A little background on this -- Recently the subsidy on ethanol was cut, but the mandate was left in place. The mandate is a steadily escalating requirement that more and more ethanol be used in gasoline blends. Without that requirement (read as law), you probably would see ethanol usage in gas plummet.
Here's the link and here's a blurb:
Iowa farmers werenÂ’t happy with the answer presidential candidate Rick Perry gave them today about an ethanol mandate that requires the petroleum industry to put the corn-based fuel in gas pumps.

Definitely. But it wasn't Ace himself and she knows how Ace runs his blog. I'm thinking she's more butthurt about Ace not linking to her blog more often than over a petty, non-existent insult.
and if she didn't want to call attention to her breasts, she shouldn't have done v-logs in a bikini. Is that so hard to follow? People are stupid.

Well, since I'm an Army brat, I guess I don't really count as a native Utahn, but Hurricane (pronounced "HER i ken") is a town in southern Utah while hurricane (pronounced "her i KAYN") is a big-ass storm.
You should have seen the contrite newsguy on Channel 5 the day after he pronounced Tabiona "tuh BYE oh nuh". He got lots of letters. I'm guessing he wasn't a native Utahn either...

protection. by the time they attack me they will never see the knife in their gut. done properly your assailant never knows that you are armed. you just step into him and let him gank himself. keep everything close to your body. hope you are never attacked.
i use most blades for opening sacks of grain, trimming roses, and splitting open bags of shavings.

Why is it when you do stomach crunches, the first hundred or two are barely noticeable, and you only really feel it near the end of your set, but with push ups you know can feel it within the first few even when you can do a lot more?

It's almost 1am here in Virginia Beach. We lost power for a few hours, but are back up and running again. A few of the houses on the beach have fallen off their stilts and into the sand. There was a small tornado that hit a part of the beach. The bridges and tunnels out of town were closed for a while - one of them has been reopened while the other remains closed. Our neighbor's tree fell on her back deck, but missed hitting the house. Other than losing a few shingles and some street flooding, we're doing fine. Some people haven't been so lucky, as the flood waters are standing several feet deep and have flooded their houses.
The storm is on its way out, but we're still experiencing quite a bit of rain and some gusts in excess of 55 mph. This storm was nowhere near as bad as Isabel in 2003. We lost power for nearly a week with that one, and so many trees were down that I couldn't even get out of the neighborhood.

Yep, about 6 weeks later, in East LA. I wasn't his only victim, but I was one of the luckier ones...and I am delighted to report that he never made it to trial. He didn't survive lock up.
done properly your assailant never knows that you are armed.
You should give lessons; I think they'd be very valuable, since it's getting so hard to get a CCW out here.
Funny thing about using knives as tools, one of the big culture shocks for me in coming to CA was that none of the men out here seemed to have pocket knives. I'd forever be asking some guy to gimme his knife to open a box or something, and they had no clue.

yeah how weird is that?
daddy and the Old man always had knives and taught me i always needed one too. they are great. 1001 uses.
Grimmy gave me some basic self defense. i think the problem is that most self defense isnt taught by people who really expect you to defend yourself. they teach you to struggle and buy time till help comes... I was taught to "flail effectively" because i had stalkers and often i would have to assume there is no help coming.

logprof,
Yes, we are more inland (closer to Chesapeake on the Kempsville Road / Centerville Tpk area), so we thankfully didn't experience the flooding that some of my relatives have faced (especially in the Ghent area of Norfolk). This particular hurricane is probably on par with Gloria, which hit in 1985.

Most common muggers and such are cowards and wont go after a target they think will fight back. And you cannot count on the police many times either.
With a little training and advice, you'll be comfortable with using a knife or even a gun for self-defense. Guns are better in my opinion - God created man, but Sam Colt made them equal.

I go to a university that's making a big green push -- we'll call it the University of Derp.The University of Derp has built all sorts of new eco-friendly buildings and put forward excellent initiatives to reduce its impact on the environment and make a positive impact on the world. One of these initiatives is transportation. We have a mass transit system on campus, to get our tens of thousands of students from the dorms to the classes, and between classes. It's great, it's convenient, it's heavily used and it actually helps with safety (so you don't have to walk home in the dark).
This week, they rolled out a bicycle program to compliment the bus system. We'll call this initiative DerpBikes. It models the bicycle programs of other universities. They throw together a few hundred ugly bikes, assemble bike racks across campus, and paint bike lanes on the roads. You go to a bike rack, get the bike, ride to where you need to go, and drop the bike off at the bike rack. Simple, efficient, mostly safe, and excellent on the environment.
Right? Well, yes, but the University of Derp found a way to fuck it up.
You see, the fatal flaw with our program is that the other campuses have things called "security measures." Fascinating idea, huh? You swipe your student ID card, it releases the bike, and if you don't return it to a rack, they charge you. They put little tracking chips in the bikes to make sure if you ride to the strip club downtown you'll get charged for the bike. They do all these things to prevent theft, damage and other stupid stuff college students can figure out.
What does University of Derp do? Write "University of Derp" on the bikes, and put them in the racks. End of story. Ohhhh yeah, that turned out well.
In just six days, most of the bikes are broken or parted out. Half of them are missing -- some stored in dorms to ensure they get a bike and nobody else can take it, some have been returned to the campus by City Police after being found miles away downtown (where they shouldn't be), and the rest are just plain missing. The ones that are left over are pieces of crap. It's a miracle if you can find one, and as you're riding you have to hope that A) the handlebars don't flip down and B) the brakes don't give out as they have been doing (both of which happened to me today, but I digress...).
Sweet, huh? So in six days, our green initiative turned into a theft-'n'-break-a-thon. The moral of this story is that if you're going to do something to help the environment, don't do it on the honor system. Either that, or a bunch of dumbass thieves and careless jerks thwarted university administration's plans to put us under UN control.
Damn kids. Dagnabit, get off my lawn.

We're looking at 4-7 inches of rain right quick, on top of saturated ground and that means severe flooding. Many trees are coming down.

NP, tmi3rd. Come on up and we'll give you the nickel tour. Seriously. It's a mighty nice place to vacation. Foliage season might be a total bust after this storm, but it's usually spectacular. If Beaner and I aren't around after about noon on Sunday, you'll know it's Irene's fault.

hurt someone with one with any sort of purpose and you woulld be surprised how nasty defense attorneys become, even if you were an intended victim. remember to only hurt them in the front no matter how scared you are. Thats a big deal when assigning guilt.

Fact. I heard it said once that a pistol is only good for helping you get back to your rifle. Speaking of rifles, I got a replacement for the rear barrel band on my Mosin and some stripper clips for it. I also got a front sight blade for the Arisaka that I hope will fit it (you would be amazed how hard it is to find parts for a T30) that I'm going to drill and tap to put a piece of threaded rod in so that I can adjust it for elevation.

But I have a 3.5" assisted opener from Kershaw, it's actually specifically mentioned in the law as an example of what's permitted.
Since I'm not too sharp on this gun and knife stuff, what is a 3.5" assisted opener?

Other than that, down power lines and flooding are the worst things we have between the I-95 corridor and the coast. Here in Raleigh we got lots of needed rain and a bit of un-needed wind, the power went out a couple of times but the longest it was out was about an hour or so, the rest were just blinks.
Thoughts and prayers to you NE moron(ette)s who are in the storm's path. If you don't need to be out and about don't be. (With that being said, I went to a friends house to help him on his car all day during the hurricane.)

Winchester Model 70. The controlled round version. Accurate sumbitches, those.
I've also had really good luck with the FN action Brownings in 30-06. Very accurate guns.

It's something on my end, definitely. Getting there, hopefully. I'm thinking it's a driver issue. It's only been like this for a month or so.
And thanks, guys, for the explanation. Still confused as to the original issue, but it seems to boil down to a lot of butthurt over nothing. Oh, and I learned about panic disorder being different from anxiety - good to know.

Yeah it is. It really comes across to me that Geller is reacting to Perry the same way that Charles Johnson reacted to her. And ace has sort of called her on that. The post above mentions how the guy (spencer) essentially vouched for the Aga Kahn as being fairly moderate but apparently now is no good, and how basically every politician has had associations with Norquist just like Perry has.

My Arisaka is a non-numbes matching Type 30, hook safety and all. I knew nothing about collecting military hardware when I got this one, it was just a good deal so I bought it. Purists shudder whenever I talk about modifying the sights to make them accurate ("You'll destroy the collector's value!" "What's it worth?" "The numbers don' t match so it's only good for parts." "Well, I want to modify the front sight to make it so I can sight the damn thing in then." "You'll destroy the collector's value!" {facepalm}).That's the good thing about the Mosin, it's a relatively common 91/30 infantry rifle made in 1943, there were a butt-load of them made so no one cares if you modify them...which this one is dead accurate so needs no modifications.

I have couple burning now so I can more ealisy light my hurricane lamps if I need 'em, but the TV people (weirdos, all, to be sure) keep telling me I shouldn't. Fire is what makes us men and not chimpanzees. Now we aren't supposed to use it? That's odd.

Anyhow, ain't people had fire for somethin' like a GAZZILION frackin' years without some dumbass over-regulated government bitchin' and moaning about it? Where's the regulations from the Roman republic about the use of candles? Ain't none? How bout any of the heathen kingdoms what come after? None? What about the vile aristocracies what followed? None? What about the earliest days of our own divinely appointed and anointed republic? None there, either? Pshaw, and phooey, therefore!
