Upside of having Lap Band surgery a year ago: going from size 22 to size 12.
Downside of having Lap Band Surgery: all my favorite foods hate me now.
Anyway - Merry Christmas, 'rons and 'ettes. Hope y'all had a great day!

As I said in advance I spend the holiday cleaning and organizing my garage/workshop.
So IÂ’m removing two boxes from a shelf, and what do I see behind them?
A brand new in the box Bushmaster flat top M-4forgery! And a nice note from my Father in law..
A nice addition to my 2 carry handle Bushmaster X-15's.
Being home alone wasnÂ’t so bad after all.
I best be careful least I poke my eye out.

rickb why would you not want to carry it?
I'm sure rickb will have his own interpretation, but if you can't conceal a .45, go to a forty, if you can't conceal a .40, go to a parabellum (with premiium ammo), if you can't conceal a nine, buy a bowie knife.

Suppose the only type of gun on the planet was the Ruger 380. Would you use/carry it?
Even if it weren't the only type. Two to center mass and get the hell out of the area! The perp will know he's been shot. There are many stories of people being shot with large caliber bullets and living to tell the tale and just as many of people getting popped with .22s and falling over dead. Find something that fits your hand well and that you can shoot confidently. Practice, practice, practice.

Several years back, our Troop's Scoutmaster attempted to roast a turkey in a Dutch oven. He overestimated the number of coals needed on the top and bottom by a lot and turned the carcass into charcoal in a little under two hours. Had to go buy another...

77-- Ruger 380. Would you use/carry it?
Yes. It's pocket-sized and lightweight. Easy to keep hidden.
Safe? Only as safe as the way it's handled: There's no external safety, so unless walking alone in a bad area, I wouldn't have a round chambered. Standard magazine holds 6 rounds, 10-round extended mags are available, though they stick out too far for concealment (but nice to have for backup.)
Reliable? I believe Ruger makes a fine product. My LCP will handle any brand ammo I've tried in it thus far, TMJ or hollowpoint. Sights are a bit more difficult to see in low light than some other guns, IMO.
My .02, fwiw.
Good luck with your decision.

It never hurts to tell the dispatcher while you're on 911 that you are in fear of your life. That helps with the inevitable law suit.

Any good stories about last minute shopping / goobers gumming up the checkout lines?
Mine is an advisory to 2 ladies to rethink your decision to go to the bank (open 9 - 12) on Saturday 12/24 and have a lengthy discussions with the tellers about your problems with the cleared balance and activity fees. When each of you have monopolized the teller windows for plus15 minutes, it's time to pull back, regroup, and come back any other day. Just look at the long line behind you snaking through lobby.

rickb okay so you wouldn't be concerned that it would not fire, or that it would blow up in your hand or something?
I have a LCP, put several hundred rounds through it. no failures.
I also have a .45, but it's to big to conceal in the Oklahoma summer.
The LCP fits right in my shorts pocket and it's so light you don't even notice it.
Posted by: J Dog at December 25, 2011 06:27 PM (T6sxD)
Likewise to all of the ons and ettes.
CJ, a Ruger .380 is an excellent piece to have handy. Easily concealed and, with a little practice, a very deadly weapon. Most shooters prefer a larger caliber, but I know cops who carry .380s as backup weapons. Personally, I love my Ruger LC-9 (9 mm), but that's just a personal preference.

I don't know what the laws are elsewhere, but there used to be the old saying about, if you see someone breaking into your house, shoot them and drag them over the threshold. That's no longer the case here. If someone is attempting break into your home, you can shoot to, ahem, stop them. It is assumed that if they are breaking in, it isn't to bring you home-baked cookies so you can shoot through the door or window. No need to drag them inside.

Walked right through. We did have to wait at the deli counter for awhile, the staff was all tied up fetching trays for people who ordered ahead. A manager came out and thanked my dad for something he did for his 94-year-old grandmother that her last doctor hadn't done, that was kind of fun.

My sister is a lefty who really hates her daughter-in -law. (her daughter-in-law is a nutcase and deserves the hate,) but, she made a comment about the fact that her daughter-in-law was a typical nutcase from Appalachia Pennsylvania. You know, in-breeds and all. Biting my tongue, I just told her that their family must be Steelers fans. I love my sister, but she has told me that she wishes Limbaugh, Beck, and Palin would all die. I just retorted at that time that I would take delight in doing violence to Behar. She didn't like that. I stayed sober and was nice this year.

Hubby has a Kimber ProCarry, he did have to save his pennies up for it but it was soooo worth it. Me, I don't care for a Kimber, the grip seems a bit thick for my hand, but that's just me.

I love my sister, but I'm under no illusions: she's very selfish in many ways, and she's prone to drama. It wouldn't surprise me if she's doing this deliberately because she's still angry that mom wouldn't give her money to cover rent (she had to ask me for help). I'm visiting mom for Christmas, and I've already called Dad, both sets of grandparents, and several friends in order to wish them Merry Christmas.

Well, now, he seemed really, really excited about the PS3 and all the video games and his mics. Set them all up, etc. Then he decided to load Guitar Port, just to see what it was all about. That was around 1230, as I recall. He finally took the head phones off at 7, because he was hungry. So I am assuming he kinda digs it, lol!
Thank you SO much for the recommendation!

I got him a bottle of absinthe, too, and he just made his first glass. Says he's gonna finish that and start in on some of the games. I'm afraid his nephew may have spooked him about Skyrim taking forever to set up, though. Posted by: Tammy al' Thor at December 25, 2011 07:11 PM (SsG4J)

Became friends later on.

Just cracked open a North Peak HooDoo "Midwest Wet hop IPA" and it is a really good beer. Delicious, and with a nice punch.
It's up there with Bell's Two Hearted, Founders Double Trouble and Dark Horse Crooked Tree...
Went to the Sherlock Holmes flick tonight...EXCELLENT. Better than the first one, I really dug it and I think it will bear up under repeated viewings. Downey, although his accent comes and goes, was great, the rest of the cast pretty good. Just long enough to make the turn around at the end all the more delicious.

Allow yourself a little down time, but do try and find something to get excited about soon. Plan ahead for something to look forward to, even if it doesn't seem like much right this exact minute.
Bers, he may be doing that now; he's got several pairs of speakers in the living room, and there's a smallish set of Bose that he's fiddling with now, even though he said he was going to start a game. I'm starting to wonder if I wasted the money on the Playstation!

I miss the old days when the stewardesses and nurses all wore short little skirts/dresses. They certainly knew how to do it back then.
Or else my memories are really just fantasies, either way, they are in the bank.
One thing to look forward to CDR, you will be bringing some stuff up with a color you have never seen before in your life. Plus you get to milk the whole "I'm just getting over pneumonia" thingy.

Since you do reside in cyberspace I advise you to get vertical and I am not talking about fapping. Get your ass off the couch and accomplish some small thing.

Sitting at home. guests just left. Fire still going but needs some tending to, as does my glass of Port.
Had a very comfy warm modest loving family Christmas today for which I am grateful and happy. Blessings too numerous to count, and I wish/hope/pray that everyone hereabouts did too.
Giant roast beast, Yorkshire and gravy. Sunny and cold. Fireplace crackling away. Neighbors and old friends coming and going all day sharing food and cocktails.
Yes, I almost burned the tablecloth lighting the brandy-soaked cake. Again.
No, no one got Crazy Uncle-sauced. We've been simmering all day though, and may shut down or shift gears and go out in a few. Cabbie's number is on the fridge.
Thus, a Merry Christmas Night to all Morons. Liberty will reign in America. When my people come to rule this planet, your names will be on the protected rolls. No harm will come to you. When you die, you will achieve total consciousness. So you've got that going for you...which is nice.

That, in itself, wasn't terribly unusual -- dog acts were reasonably popular -- but the guy had no apparatus and, frankly, didn't have that "motivate the dog hustle" you see a lot in dog shows.
So the theater owner asks, "what's the act?" And the guy says, "er, talking dog". And Gramps rolls his eyes and says, "look, I don't want to hear you do the usual garbage -- what's over your head? roof, roof; can you describe sandpaper? rough, rough; what's your name? Ralph, Ralph; if you split something in two equal pieces, what is each piece to the whole? 'arf, 'arf; what do horses have at the end of their legs? hoof, hoof.......we've heard it all before, and it just doesn't work. If you're going to go with any of that, you might as well just pack up now and get out.
So the guy gets up and turns to leave, and the dog says, "that's not fair, Ralph really is my name."

Raw liver, and again, not so much the pver, just let her lick up the blood. The liver should come in a container of sorts like sour cream, only cardboard. It usually has a fair amount of blood in the bottom. Calves liver.
I mean, if she likes the liver, go for it, but the blood will give her straight up iron. It's a short term fix for her, since she has an actual disease, but I have used it on stray kittens who were almost totally dead from fleas...fed them blood right out of an eye dropper.

SWIFT handles wires between banks. So if you want to wire 10000 US Dollars into a bank in Canada as Canadian Dollars, they let the sending and receiving banks hook up and transfer funds without accidentally ending up in Zimbabwean whatchamacallits.
They do this by having reserved currency codes that are programmed into their system. Now, if Greece gets bumped out of the Euro, they'll undoubtedly go back to the Drachma -- and anyone transferring to- or from- a Greek bank will need a Drachma code. In the past, SWIFT has added codes, then designated them as "if-issued, when-issued" to make sure that it works when needed but isn't used in advance. They can do all the programming in advance and get it thoroughly tested, and when the applicable government does its thing, there's no panic and no delays.
There was a rumor a while back that there was a code for Deutschmarks that was pre-registered and tested, BTW. Now, with this article, they're saying that SWIFT won't preload and test post-Euro currency codes to avoid stampedes......but that means that -- should things get so bad as to bounce Greece out to the Drachma -- it may be a week afterward before anyone could actually transact drachmae without physically wheeling around wheelbarrows of banknotes. With all those islands and mountains, that could give rise to a clusterfuck of Olympic proportions.

Heh, Thor's moon is in Aquarius. Worse possible position for a Scorpio, too much of a polar (though not literal) opposite.

it was hilarious and i brought a girlfriend with me since i was too messed up from picking to sick cat up from the hospital to be sure of my driving. She was cracking up AL NIGHT. Especially our rule with the Poppers where everyone has to wear their hats or nobody gets presents.
SO everyone wore their paper crowns, and we cracked up read our bad jokes played with our cheezy toys and then opened gifts. My mom even made sure that my friend got a nice silk scarf in her favorite blue grey color. It was awesome. Dad gave me a lovely blue and smoky topaz bracelet with little diamons in it, and mom got me sheets. Sister got me socks, but by far the best present next to the bracelet...
was the Hello Kitty sammitch press and the Hello Kitty toaster my friend who works in DC got me. SQUEEEEEE! NOW I CAN MAKE GRILLED CHEESE SAMMITCHES WITH HELLO KITTY'S FACE ON THEM!!!

I agree, Tammy. I think what confused the morons was that she had a big bow on her front and one of the ends drooped down below her boobs that gave a false impression that the angle of her body was like / that; but when you ignored the bow and connected the dots so to speak from her belly to just under her boobs under the loose bow end you could easily see that the angle of her body was indeed a nice \ angle leading to the bottom of her boobs. That was no muffin top.

Ah, Janet Pilgrim, IIRC.
Reminds me of a favorite cartoon that ran in one of the anniversary issues of Playboy. Probably the 25th as that was the age when almost every detail would be memorized.
A boy, perhaps ten, is asleep in his bed. On the wall over his head is a 50's era centerfold. Two men are standing by the half-open door and one is shining a flashlight on the centerfold. He says, "We can't make him take it down. It's his grandmother."

I think back to the late 70's/early 80's, when practically every girl had a tiny bit of a muffin top going on because they were wedged-into skin-tight low-riding pseudo-designer jeans that you'd need a prybar to unlatch......
Course, they couldn't "muffin" very much 'cause the "waistline" was only about half an inch to the north of the mons pubis... "Belly" started a few inches above that.
I think back -- my gf's roommate in college had to lay flat, legs elevated together, hyperventilate, and nearly empty her lungs in order to scrunch the final inches and button the fly of her jeans (I got the description second-hand, but could well believe it from the evidence at hand). How did we all survive such a time?

Plus, my 82-year old mother can see the difference, despite not being able to understand why I was getting a new set to replace the 27" tube. At least, not until she saw what it does for herself. Funny thing is, even without factoring inflation, it's the least I've ever paid for a new TV by a substantial margin. With inflation, it's about a fifth of the cost of the 30" tube model I bought in 1993, making the new set about the same cost as I was quoted to repair the old one when it died five years ago.

epobirs, my mama has very poor vision now due to detached retinas in both eyes, and we got her a larger flat screen TV and she really noticed a difference. She's been thrilled with it, though she cannot figure out the remote for much more than changing the channel and adjusting the volume!
Well, Thor lasted an hour playing video games, and is now back at Guitar Port. I am dying to have him start Skyrim, damn it!

Obviously, it was well past its prime when it could shred a credit card, so we have a stack of credit cards next to it waiting to be shredded [yeah, I know about the security implications.....]

Yep. And right behind that is another wave with an even bigger boost to efficiency and reliability -- modulated backlight.
LCD's are like shadow-puppets. If you're looking at one right now, perhaps reading black text on a white screen, the white is a fluorescent tube washed across the screen and the black are LiquidCrystalDisplay shadows blocking the light.
If you have a newer LED display, there is a construct of LED's that, blended together, forms "white" behind your LCD display, but you're still seeing LCD shadows against a lit LED back.
If 2/3 of your screen is black, however, why light up the LED's and make the LCD's shadow them, when you could just not light the LED's in the first place? You can get blacker-blacks using less energy. Problem is, it takes a while for the LED's to light up......so you'd have to have some advance knowledge of what part of the screen will light up in a bit.

That would probably be easiest done by buffering the incoming signal so that the processor knows what's next. It would only need a delay of microseconds, depending on the processor, and the end user would never be able to tell unless there was another TV nearby.

The edges of the pics are kind of rough, and I don't like the way it feels on the strings but I am going to punch some aluminum foil with to see if that helps. I do that with my craft punches.

I'm a longtime CES attendee, especially after it became part of my work in the mid-90s. (I was doing magazine work then but a few years later we started a subsidiary that specializes in IT services for the event business.) I occasionally look at my TV and think with amazement how this was once something solely for the wealthy. I remember when the best HDTV demos were on massive CRT units weighing hundreds of pounds and costing absurd amounts if they were a shipping product at all.
But that was well less than twenty years ago. A very short time compared to how long it was all NTSC. And Ultra HD is well underway as far as defining the spec. Movie makers shooting with the new 4K cameras are already planning for when this transition from theatrical to home consumer markets. And this will affect the computer side as well. 4K support is being baked into the next generation of integrated graphics hardware in Intel chips, with everybody else expected to follow suit. It may seem a long way off but remember how recently you could see that a GPU supported a now common display resolution and thought, "Who the hell has a monitor that does that?"

CDR M, if you are able to monitor in the hospital and read this prayers are with you (they're with you even if you can't read it). Get well soon so you can rejoin the Moron hoard.
I had a wonderful Christmas. Ate like a pig as usual.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Dec 26, 2011. Boxing Day in Great Britain. It is a sort of second Christmas day now. Originally it was “Christmas Day” in which the upper class gave presents to the servants and “less fortunate”.

Here is why you can not trust even seeing shit on TV "news"
Ron Paul did not storm out of CNN interview. They just made it look that way. Recall ABC editing the Sarah Palin interview in 2008 trading answers to questions to make her look stupid.

I would like to think our candidates would have learned by now that they need to take independent simultaneous (time stamped) video of every transaction between an R candidate and the press for release on the intertubes. If the press throws the old "proprietary data" flag, then they should walk away.
I am not holding my breath however.

He always had a DoD camera crew simultaneously taping every television appearance. It was a condition of him granting the interview.
Never saw a "gotcha" interview of him, did we? Oh, they hated him and made up analysis of his policies to suit their view, but he always controlled his interviews.
That should be standard GOP policy.

Didn't know that, but it fits the persona. After so much known malfeasance by the press, one would think this would now be a standard precautionary measure taken by any non-establishment-approved, conservative, or Republican politician.

At least the SCoaMF is consistent about the tenets of his muslim Christian faith.

chemjeff,
I'm a little late to the party but the Ruger LCP is a fine conceal carry weapon (IMHO). Take mine everywhere with a Crossbreed holster. If you are looking at the Ruger, you owe it to yourself to also look at the S&W Bodyguard. It comes with a laser sight and has a safety (which my Ruger does not). The extra cost for the built in laser with the S&W is actually cheaper than the Ruger with an add-on laser.

It's never too early if you are at risk. A couple of years ago, when I was 45, I had a persistent cough after a bout of the flu. I eventually dragged myself in to the local clinic to confirm that I'd picked up pneumonia in my weakened state and that was the current problem after the flu had departed. They gave me scrips for a course of antibiotics and an inhaler in case I got into a respiratory distress situation. Pretty expensive. The preventative vaccination would likely have cost a fair bit less.
