Thank God It's Friday!!! So get a cold one and get comfortable. It's time for the ONT!
So, it would seem we might just be in the impact zone for this satellite coming down late tonight after all (maybe). This old Saturday Night Live video seems rather timely.
Cacophony Of Copulation Costs Money?
I don't know about this but according to this dude, Loud Sex Is A Billion Dollar Problem. Hell yeah it's a problem if you're payin' for it otherwise enjoy it. Oh wait, that's not what he meant.
What is to be done about this cacophony of copulation? Noise machines and comfortable headphones would probably be the cheapest way to solve to problem, but these solutions are unlikely to be sufficient. Improved building codes in areas with high population density would put the burden on developers, but perhaps construction could be stimulated with tax incentives. Or perhaps creating a standardized rating system would be a good way to bring sound isolation issues out of the closet and let the market decide how much peace and quiet is worth.Or perhaps the market could be made more transparent by allowing buyers and renters to see the history of nighttime disturbances in a given apartment before they buy.
The Stache Of the 80's
PETA Goin' Soft-Core Pron
Do these numbnuts actually believe that people actually hear the message they are trying to send? I didn't even know there was a sign in this picture for like 10 minutes. OK, I keed. It was more like 20 minutes. But anyway, PETA is looking to get into the triple X web domain and provide you with information that is sexually suggestive that teaches you to debase women and ethically treat your animals or something.
This Is Our Iranian Enemy
I keep thinking of Chevy Chase in Fletch when I see this picture. I have no idea what the white wigs are for but these dudes are Iranian military. Maybe it's goat camo.
How Whole Foods "Primes" You To Shop
This is a pretty good read on how Whole Foods Primes You To Shop.
Ever notice that there's ice everywhere in this store? Why? Does hummus really need to be kept so cold? What about cucumber-and-yogurt dip? No and no. This ice is another symbolic. Similarly, for years now supermarkets have been sprinkling select vegetables with regular drops of water--a trend that began in Denmark. Why? Like ice displays, those sprinkled drops serve as a symbolic, albeit a bogus one, of freshness and purity. Ironically, that same dewy mist makes the vegetables rot more quickly than they would otherwise. So much for perception versus reality.
Rugby Rules
Now I know some of you just aren't into football and most of you don't like soccer. So have you tried to watch rugby. Perhaps going over the rules will help you. Probably NSFW for some reason.
Math And Science Post
Hmmm. I know, I know. We aren't supposed to have math on here but this is a pretty good read on Determining How Much Bubble Wrap Would Be Required To Survive Jumping Off A 6 Story Building. A taste:
For The Dog Lovers Out There
Bombing Run
Zombies
Zombie vs Pugs.
Speaking of Zombies, The Walking Dead returns to AMC here in a short 3 weeks. I'm so looking forward to this season. I'm diggin' the poster for Season 2.

PETA's against animal testing, right? I think we should volunteer them for testing in the stead of animals. That way we'll know for sure what drugs and products actually work on humans. It would be more accurate than experimenting on rats, no?

They're against animal testing until they need it. Part of Penn and Teller's Bullshit episode about Peta was on how one of their higher ups is a diabetic, and uses insulin treatments that were created from animal testing, and still have some "animal parts" in them.

Posted by: chemjeff at September 23, 2011 06:54 PM (s7mIC)
Hmmm...good question:
In that theoretical scenario, I would be watching for something streaking from west-northwest toward the south. But I wouldn't be looking very high in the sky. Heavens-Above is telling me that the maximum height above the horizon would be about 22 degrees. Ten degrees is roughly equivalent to the width of your fist held out at arm's length, so I'd look a little more than two fist-widths high.
The chart also tells me that debris from the satellite wouldn't have hit anywhere close to me, even if it was falling at the time, because the flyover is too far away. The "Alt" (altitude) listing is the key. "If your location has a pass with elevation above 80 degrees — that is, nearly overhead — then yes, you are in the potential debris scatter field," NBC News space analyst James Oberg said in an email explaining the process.
In short, I suppose it's possible.

They had a God-damned panel of "experts" talking about the God-damned economy. Why it's doing so badly. The God-damned experts were claiming it's a lack of confidence on the part of God-damned consumers and business. They naturally attributed this to the Republicans trying to cut the God-damned budget.
Not one, not one of the God-damned dishonest assholes even suggested that confidence might be low because of President Obama. Apparently the very possibility that his God-damned policies might not be flawless is something they dare not think, let alone say.
This is why I want President Perry, if not God-damned President Palin, to take office in 2013. This is why I want a second Republican God-damned tsunami in Congress. I want to see those God-damned hypocritical lying liberal bastards get their God-damned faces rubbed in how wrong and dishonest they've been.
God damn them all.

Maybe the Blu-ray has it but I listened to a review on the DVD and the guy said how a lot of deleted scenes showed some character development for Thor, like him giving a new cup to the diner where he broke one. But maybe I just heard the reviewer wrong or that's a Blu-ray only deleted scene because I didn't see it on the DVD deleted scenes.

The petition had been held and a committee of sappy women been appointed to go in deep mourning an wail around the governor, and implore him to be a merciful ass and trample his duty underfoot. Injun Joe was believed to have killed five citizens of the village but what of that? If he had been Satan himself there would have been plenty of weaklings ready to scribble their names to a pardon petition and drip a tear on it from their permanently impaired and leaky waterworks."- Mark Twain from Tom Sawyer

You didn't think your vote actually counted did you?
There may not be a formal conspiracy to run the world, but money and power have been screwing us for years at every level, and not in a good way. Part of the establishment plan is to ensure that it is virtually impossible to field a dark horse. The TEA party caught them offguard in 2010 due to its principle based amorphous nature and lack of identifiable structure. They will be ready for us in 2012.
Doesn't mean we should not fight the good fight, but we should not expect to win every race.

If it helps--and sometimes it really has helped me--to know more about the pray-er and the circumstances so that you can imagine help coming from far away, I will be in East-Central Indiana, sitting in a beat-up Honda CRV, praying on a rosary that i made myself saying the hopeful mysteries for each of you. It takes about 30 minutes for me to do it well, so you guys can KNOW that at 9:30--10, I will pray that regardless of the prognosis or the stage in treatment, that God's peace be granted to mpfs, Peaches, and everyone involved.
I don't know if you'll find comfort from my prayers. I DO know that I have found GREAT comfort from the prayers of others (often outside my denomination)--and I thank God to this day that those great Baptists were able to "overlook" the fact that I was hopelessly Catholic and still engage in that beautiful prayer chain. mfps and Peaches, those fine people gave me list of their folks who would be praying, a little bit about each of the links in the prayer chain, what their specific prayer for me was, and even described the chapel were they were all meeting.
Late that night, as the staff administered the BIG dose of the nastiest chemo in my protocal, I had an anxiety attack. Not unusual for me at that time. and I was really climbing the walls. I beeped the nurse's station dozens of times, but they didn't know what to do with me and I really couldn't articulate it.
I happened to notice under my phone the schedule for the prayer group, and at about midnight, my history/government who was a member of my mom's church was scheduled to start his prayers for me.
I don't know how to describe it now. Then I was very cynical and made the tried and true arguments about mind over matter and psychosomaticism, but it didn't begin to ring true. At various times during that night, when I would otherwise be climbing the walls, the prayers of my mother's church gave me the one thing I had lacked since diagnosis.
They gave me peace. And I have come to believe with all of my heart that though we strive for property and fast cars, college degrees, riches--it's peace we really seek. Pease. The absence of strife. The abundance of goodwill. Security, safety, a calm mind.
I believe that without peace, the line of history would be riddled with failed systems one after another, for it is only in peace that we can afford to gamble on loyaltly, then speculate on friendship, then venture on love.

Getting down to brass tacks...how does some mouthbreather-level "remake" of the Three Musketeers, Now With Steampunk!, either benefit or not from Jovovich? It's going to suck out loud, just like all the other attempts at "Musketeers", or worse yet, "The Count of Monte Cristo".
I'll admit my bias up front - Dumas is my favorite fiction author. Has anyone ever managed to make a good version of any of his books that was remotely true to the original? No.
I'm actually surprised there's no ninjas or Jesuit cryptography involved. If they're going over the top visuals, then there's worse things than Ms. Jovovich in skin-tight leather with a sword. It's still bullshit, but it's bullshit with inherent aesthetic value.
And no, I won't watch. That didn't stop me from spouting off about it, though.

Because once they piss off the Israelis enough nobody will be able to recognize it without dental records
///
Here's the thing. Israel knows if an attack is just a pain in the ass or a real invasion. Now I'm not saying that Israel will nuke, but they damn sure have the most efficient tactical military in the world and they will make sure that whoever attacks them does not function for a long time. They will flat out take over Syria and exterminate, without much trial, that entire regime, period. Iran, not so much; Israel will hurt it, but it doesn't have the proximity to flatten a country that big anyway., and Iran needs to deal with itself. But Syria's wrecked, and probably gets turned over to the merchant class. Lebanon becomes mostly Christian. Jordan becomes Palestine and a 1 mile thick minefield set up between them. Sinai becomes a UN protectorate - essentially a free tourist zone. Egypt just shits on itself. Ironically I see the Saudis sitting this one out. Frankly, I seriously think that right now, the really really top Saudi guys are negotiating with Israel for sanctuary for something I don't know what yet. Iraq's irrelevant. Oh, Turkey, yeah, military coup 3 days in after Israel recognizes Turkish Kurdistan and arms it.
and you know what, Israel will play the "not a fucking chance again" card and shove it up the world's ass.

Gerald Butler has been a major disappointment lately. What little I saw of Law Abiding Citizen was alright, but "Gamer", and that movie where he was a bounty hunter were dreadful.
Protip: Don't see "Gamer", but re-watch (or watch for the first time) "The Running Man" if you want a better movie showing how entertainment-obsessed our culture is.

I'm actually surprised there's no ninjas or Jesuit cryptography involved. If they're going over the top visuals, then there's worse things than Ms. Jovovich in skin-tight leather with a sword. It's still bullshit, but it's bullshit with inherent aesthetic value
She's not wearing skintight leather. She's wearing 18th century formal dress.

Gerald Butler has been a major disappointment lately. What little I saw of Law Abiding Citizen was alright, but "Gamer", and that movie where he was a bounty hunter were dreadful.
Posted by: Kratos (Ghost of Sparta)
I didn't see Gamer, but I have to disagree on Law Abiding Citizen. That movie stunk of a bunch of studio rewrites. Who was the hero? The political DA cutting deals to advance his career? The movie wasn't sure.

SF, check out Michael Yon's book on Lebanon from the "cedar revolution" to 2010. It's called "The Road to Fatima Gate", and is based on Yon's firsthand time spent in country. Lebanon is nowhere near going Christian, though they might regain their 3-way split between the Christians, Sunni, and Shia.

I read the whole thing. It's deranged, but the framework for real conflict is certainly there. What I think is unlikely is the US getting all the blame, as the Sunni / Shia and Arab / Persian schism has existed so long. We will be blamed,, of course, but the killing, if it comes to that, will be along the old Persian / Ottoman v. Arab lines once again. Once that gets somewhat sorted out, then the bad old USA will be the problem. The big question is how long can they kill each other without going to NBCs?

Motherfucking FDA last years banned a painkiller called Wygesic last year (that's the brand name, don't know the generic). Apparently some little old lady died. I don't know, don't give a shit. My mother, who has horrible rhumatoid arthritis, took that shit for almost as long as I've been alive, took that shit with *zero* problems. But fuck it, who cares that it has helped so many people with crippling arthritis, some old biddy kicked off. BAN IT!
Okay, so my mother is on her fourth fucking painkiller because nothing works as well. Fisrt two did fuck all. Switched to hydrocodone, that seemed to work. All seemed well. Well, apparently that one stopped working so well. Now? Oxicontin. Really? Seriously? What comes after this? Morphine? Crack cocaine? Maybe rimjobbing Prez-O-Dent Barack Hussein Obama is the secret magic cure all?
I can't wait until the fucking IPAB death panels get a hold of her. "Well, we have here a cost effectiveness study that shows that two Aleve taken every four hours will have just as much benefit when combined with a wheel chair and social security retirement benefits."
Fuck you, Obama! Take your fascist fucking reform, dip it in honey, cover it in bees, turn it sideways and shove it straight up your candy ass.
My mother is 62 years old. You should see her hands. She can't make a fist. Her fingers look like someone ran over them. There's nothing to seperate the bones in her knees. They rub together constantly. We can't afford knee replacements. Elbows are shot to shit. She moves like C-fucking-3PO. But with constant medicating, she manages. It's the hand she was dealt, but she manages. She's a strong woman.
But then our great and glorious fucking rulers from on high step in and her life becomes that much harder. Who the fuck are these people? Who the fuck are they to decide what's good for her? Who the fuck are they to decide for anyone? Do they deal with the consequences of their actions? Well they got these study papers and statistical reports and some dude somewhere sucked the right cock and FUCK 'EM! Every last one of them. Fuck. Them.
Oh, and the FDA banned inhalers. Thanks a lot, assholes!
My question to the Republican candidates would be something like, so, guys, when do you take administrative agencies like the FDA and burn them to the fucking ground with everybody locked inside?
Government of the people, by the people, for the people?
Bullshit.

The biggest fear about the Iranian Missiles is that we've observed them trying to detonate said missiles in mid-flight. There's only one reason why you'd want to do that, and I bet you can guess what that reason is.
And missiles aren't that hard to construct, even with the Iranian's deprecated industrial base.

A bunch of Wisconsin unions are eating worms tonight. They decided they'd rather spend their dwindling funds on eating $16 muffins and getting Scott Walker recalled than having a recertification vote.
By the end of Thursday, the major state employee unions covering tens of thousands of workers will have effectively lost their official status.
Top leaders for those unions say they won't seek to meet the high hurdle for keeping that current status as laid out in Gov. Scott Walker's union bargaining law. With a deadline set for the close of business Thursday, so far only four smaller state unions have said they are seeking to keep their status by winning a difficult recertification vote.
Marty Beil, executive director of the 23,000-member Wisconsin State Employees Union representing largely blue-collar workers, said none of the units in his group will seek recertification.
"We looked at the law and we find the law at best an exercise in wasted resources," Beil said. "We've chosen to use our resources to organize our members and advocate for our members."
...
Beil said WSEU has cut spending but not laid off any of its seven field staff or three administrators. He said some members were now paying their dues voluntarily but declined to say how many. Bryan Kennedy, president of the American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin, said so far only a small local state union within his larger umbrella group is seeking a recertification election.

I've talked with her about importations, ut the problem is money.
She could get cheap drugs from Mexico, but there's three problems.
First is the cost. She could get it cheap, but not as cheap than with her insurance. She could probably get what she needs for $50, $60 bucks in Mexico, but that's way more than she was paying out of pocket after her insurance. And money is definitely an issue with us.
Second is quality. Buying drugs in Mexico means you're not getting the same quality. Canada would be better in terms of quality, but see above.
Third is...well, we don't want to get shot. The cartel violence in Mexico is out of control. We, and no one we know, is willing to go into Mexico anymore.
I don't know. It's...exasperating. I thought the hydrocodone worked, but apparently not so much. We'll see what happens with the Oxycontin. If that doesn't work...I don't know. We just wait and see.
But these people make me so angry...

Update #13Fri, 23 Sep 2011 09:55:17 PM PDT
As of 10:30 p.m. EDT on Sept. 23, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 85 miles by 90 miles (135 km by 140 km). Re-entry was expected between 11:45 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, and 12:45 a.m., Sept. 24, Eastern Daylight Time (3:45 a.m. to 4:45 a.m. GMT). During that time period, the satellite was passing over Canada and Africa, as well as vast areas of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The risk to public safety was very remote. NASA is working to confirm the re-entry location and time and will provide an update shortly.
[bold and underscore added]I'm gaining a better understanding on what's wrong with NASA today. They put a man on the moon on July 16, 1969 -- after Kennedy launched the Apollo Program on May 25, 1961. Just eight years and two months to put a man on the moon.
By contrast, it's now getting close to an hour to update a website "shortly".

That's a great plan, chemjeff.
You sound like a great catch. I'm sure you will find your mate the old fashioned way.
I'm really gregarious (although actually kind of shy... weird combo, but I'm good at initial contacts) and although I value this particular place (not that I'm looking for love here, but you know), in general I just think you need to interact with people in person. Let the "chemistry" happen.
I was wondering if your university had a football team or some other sporting team that interested you (basketball?). You could start going to games and try to sit in the same section and get to know people that way.
Or bookstores -- I guess Barnes & Nobles -- seem like a decent place to strike up a conversation.
Or any place where there are a lot of people traveling from out of town, because people can sometimes be more receptive to striking up conversations with strangers in that situation.

After months of cruising Fapplebees, meeting one of the harmless types is a funny anecdote and shouldn't really change your behavior.
If you meet Barney Frank, however, you should nuke it from orbit just to be sure.

Do you have a gym membership? Get one ... but first, scout out several gyms.
Avoid the high-end full-service "clubs" that cater to bored housefraus. If the place has a hair-care parlor, daycare, etc., move on,
Some boxing gyms actually have a large number of womens, straight ones even, but you might want to pass; frequentlym they are married, or have boyfriends, or ...
Check out the ones that have large numbers of treadmills, exercise classes ...

If it's occasionally, sporadic, or it happened once and then again right afterward, but doesn't show signs of getting more frequent, it may be worth it to sleep in your own bed and get rest.
The basic test is all about life support and alternatives -- if you wake up spasming to the point where you can't use a phone -- you'll die painfully, helpless, and alone. I wouldn't wish that on animals I consider vermin; I certainly wouldn't wish it on one of those odd internet voices I hear. Extrapolate the situation through tomorrow morning, with a safety factor.....and if you won't be ok then, go to the doctor now.

That sounds terrific.
I assume you've attempted to network via friends - like going out with a single buddy or asking friends to fix you up - without success. Or is it that you're still so new there and (no offense, remember I almost took at job at ASU chemistry dept) you're surrounded by chemistry professors?!
Anyway, you know who tends to be really friendly at universities? Development officers, that's who. They also tend to be women. Maybe you could try to meet the major gifts officer assigned to your school - under the pretext of finding funding for your research - and network that way.

I'm not the most pulchritudinous member of the male gender, and I haven't really been a player, but I've had some very pleasant encounters with women who were probably "out of my league" -- because I asked.
I realized at the time that there was a 90% chance of being shot down in flames....but....there was that 10% chance, and how bad is getting shot down when you know you're shootin' for the moon?
If you think you can build up to a more successful request, and that you'll only get one shot, you can easily torture yourself forever to no "happy ending". But if you think, "I've got a 10% chance now, or I can devote 6 months of effort to make it a 10.1% chance...." -- why not cut to the chase?

Males tend to have a reputation for being more outgoing and friendly, especially if you neuter them.
We usually have girl kitties because... well, I don't like looking at the bulges! But our two best kittehs were from each category: a female (spayed) Siamese and a male (neutered) orange tabby, so one of each.
Our cats are always indoor cats, too.

We've had some scratching over the years with our kittehs, especially of herculon-type furniture (any rough fabric really). But the current pair have ceased doing it since we got the sisal (?) rope wrapped scratching posts. We have a couple in the house, including one near our bed (which is, regrettably, upholstered in an appealing fabric). They haven't touched the bed since then.
DO NOT USE THE RUG-COVERED TYPE OF SCRATCHING POSTS! It confuses the kittehs.

You need to drill down on this a bit. Active companion? Companion while you're doing things? Companion while you're relaxing? Talk to you? Demand companionship? Sit on your lap or on the keyboard? Hang out at the breakfast table?
There are some cats that ignore everything you do until you're immobile (like watching a movie), then they'll snuggle up and hang out with you. Then, there are others that want to hang with you for everything -- if you're websurfing, they need their own laptop so they can websurf along with you.

That's the way our siameses have been. Well, not so much the current obese Lynx point, but all of the other ones which were Seal points.
If you can find a cageless animal shelter, you can have a great experience just sitting down and letting the kittehs come to you. There was a famous one near Chicago (in northern Indiana... I think) called Fried's Cat Shelter that was a converted motel where the cats roamed free. We're cat people, but were nonetheless amazed by how outgoing and "dog like" so many of the kittehs were.

Before you go to a shelter, I'd recommend that you visit some friends, just to observe how they interact with their cats. Once you start seeing how their feline personalities work, you'd be more likely to find a better fit to your own way of life.
As an aside, I've got a peculiar fondness for Manx and Bengals, despite them being troublesome for my lifestyle. It's probably a desire that they provide a bit of the wild for my life. It's probably best that I'm so allergic that I can't live with 'em.

One reason I say this is because sometimes they give you a chance to hang with the kittehs for a bit, get to know them a little.
Also because it's one less animal they have to struggle to get adopted, rather than encouraging a pet shop or breeder or something. There are plenty of cats.
I also would never declaw.

I would also recommend a shelter kitteh, but taking on such a companion is a long-term, serious commitment. If CJ goes to a shelter unprepared, he might decide on one that runs to him and clambers over him -- while passing up one that moves close to him and "hangs out" -- or vice-versa. Without an idea of the "style" of kitteh he envisions, he could easily end up with one that annoys the daylights out of him -- which is a heckuva thing for a dozen years or more.
That said, there are years and years of bonding which will occur after the minutes or hours of getting acquainted. But it'd be best to have some reasonable expectations going in to the process.

chemjeff cats are wonderful. chose a girl. might even want a momma who gave birth. her kittens will have less trouble being adopted. she might be in more jeopardy. i get tired of kitten hijinks. i like a nice quiet cat.
right now i have one washing herself on the end of her bed and the other in her bed i made in a laundry basket filled with blankets. she puts herself to bed under the covers in her little basket every night. shes knows that place is for her unless shes sleeping on my chest up next to my face.

Government Shutdown Looms as Democrats Defeat House Bill
Congress remains hopelessly divided over how to fund disaster aid, an impasse that could result in a government shutdown if not solved by September 30. But lawmakers face a more pressing deadline. Currently, the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) is poised to run out of cash by Tuesday, if not earlier, with the account at the dangerously-low level of $175 million, according to Senate aides.
Reworded for accuracy
The Senate blocks disaster aid and creates an impasse that the press says will result in a government shutdown if not solved by September 30. Democrat PR goons run from the printers waving fresh copy to the editors of their PR rags who print it while wiping the drool from their lips.

TX “In-State Tuition bill (House bill 1403 from 2001)
I am so sick of hearing about the Texas Dream Act. Here are the particulars on that bill taken from a circular by the TX education board
House Bill 1403 granted certain non-immigrant students, including undocumented stu-dents, access to in-state tuition rates at Texas public institutions of higher education and state financial aid. To qualify, the bill required students to have:o resided in Texas with a parent or guardian while attending high school in Texas,
o graduated from a public or private high school or received a GED in Texas,
o resided in Texas for the three years leading to graduation or receipt of a GED, and
o provided their institutions a signed affidavit indicating an intent to apply for per-manent resident status as soon as able to do so.
The bill passed and was codified as Texas Education Code
So Santorum and Romney, if you lying shit-weasels send you kids to TX for 3 years and had them graduate from a TX high school they too can get the same tuition rates as other TX High school graduates.
Is that a subsidy for out of State liberal liars? Sorry Santorum I know you arenÂ’t a liberal but WTF are you doing supporting one? Maybe that is why everybody canÂ’t stand you)
Oh just so you can contrast and compare here is the real Dream Act
This bill would provide conditional permanent residency to certain illegal alien-students of good moral character who graduate from US high schools, arrived in the US as minors, and lived in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill's enactment.
If they were to complete two years in the military or two years at a four year institution of higher learning, the students would obtain temporary residency for a six year period.
Within the six year period, a student may qualify who has "acquired a degree from an institution of higher education in the United States or has completed at least 2 years, in good standing, in a program for a bachelor's degree or higher degree in the United States" or have "served in the armed services for at least 2 years and, if discharged, has received an honorable discharge”
In short that bill would grant immediate amnesty to a shit load of illegal alien migrants just by attending college. The military shit is a strawman. There is already a program for foreign students to get U.S. citizenship by seving in the U.S. military and it has been in place for a dam long time.

Contrary to popular myth Obamacare was not passed under reconciliation and can not be repealed under reconciliation.
I don't see the Republicans losing a bunch of House seats but I don't see them picking up a 65 - 70 seat majority in the Senate either.

Yeah, with Boner and Bitch McConnell retaining their leadership positions -- and it's their turn, after all -- I'm sure Congress will do a 180-degree swing and start being fiscally responsible, all the while being guided by the Constitution in everything they do.
