— Maetenloch How To Steal Like An Artist
Some pretty good advice on how to be artist or just a creative and productive person in general. I wish someone had shown me this when I was still in college high school - it could've reduced my angst and self-loathing by at least 17%.
2. Don’t wait until you know who you are to start making things.There was a video going around the internet last year of Rainn Wilson, the guy who plays Dwight on The Office. He was talking about creative block, and he said this thing that drove me nuts, because I feel like it’s a license for so many people to put off making things: “If you don’t know who you are or what you’re about or what you believe in it’s really pretty impossible to be creative.”
If I waited to know “who I was” or “what I was about” before I started “being creative”, well, I’d still be sitting around trying to figure myself out instead of making things. In my experience, it’s in the act of making things that we figure out who we are.
As Flaubert said, “Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”So if you're in need of some inspiration, read the whole thing. Then get out there and start creating.I’m a boring guy with a 9-5 job who lives in a quiet neighborhood with his wife and his dog.
That whole romantic image of the bohemian artist doing drugs and running around and sleeping with everyone is played out. ItÂ’s for the superhuman and the people who want to die young.
The thing is: art takes a lot of energy to make. You donÂ’t have that energy if you waste it on other stuff.
But toking up and shitting in the street are still allowed. Thank God at least one city in AmeriKKKa still hasn't knuckled under to the new police state.
Female Egyptian Lawyer: Israeli Women Should be Sexually Harassed
By Palestinian men as a form of resistance. And if that harassment should happen to turn into rape-rape, well that's just a little justice since the Israelis have been 'raping' Palestinian lands. Note that Nagla Al-Imam is an educated woman and influential lawyer in Egypt. So when liberals wonder why conservatives aren't too enthusiastic about a populist revolution in Egypt, well Nagla is Exhibit A.
Worst Sports Column Ever: Beaten Giants Fan Deserved His Coma
For having the temerity to wear a Giants jersey at Dodger stadium:
Maybe someone can ask Stow, if he ever comes out of his coma, why he thought it was a good idea to wear GiantsÂ’ gear to a DodgersÂ’ home opener when there was a history of out-of-control drunkenness and arrests at that event going back several yearsÂ…As LA talk radio hosts John and Ken have made clear the violence and general thuggishness at the stadium have been building for several years now as gangbanger types have migrated over from Raider Nation to become Dodger fans. Meanwhile the owners seem to have cut back on security to save money, letting the thugs take over entire sections of the stands. But Stow who was from out of town probably knew none of this - I sure didn't until hearing about it on the radio. Who would ever imagine that baseball games would become modern day Thunderdomes?
...
Obviously, not every fan who wears his team’s jersey to a game is looking for someone from “the enemy” to beat up. But maybe somebody should do a psychological study to find out if all those game jerseys have contributed to the new mob mentality that seems to exist in the stands these days.
So Why is the AK-47 So Popular?
Of all the existing firearms in the world at least 20% of them are some variant of the Kalshnikov. So why has it become so popular around the world? Well it's very robust, easy to maintain, and accurate enough at short ranges to get the job done. But the main reason they're so popular and cheap is that the Soviet Union for decades handed them out like candy to any third-world country and po-dunk group that seemed even mildly hostile to Western interests.
Huge production numbers coupled with a long service life have littered the globe with AKs. Killicoat’s paper cites another big reason for the AK-47’s global status: the Soviet government may have been stingy with its own people, but it was awfully generous when it came to giving away or selling Kalashnikovs to regimes and rebel groups it supported.And if you enjoy seeing AK-47s in the wild, well Condé Nast Traveler magazine says that Libya is one of the “15 Best Places to See Right Now”.
What People Ate in the 1700s
Well judging from pub menus it was probably less varied but fresher and tastier than today's grub.
Turner uses pike, fried in a little butter, and adds it to Verral's soup mixture with parsley root, celery and other vegetables: tangy but meaty and delicious. Interestingly, Turner sees this dish as a precursor to fish pie; a hearty, one-pot meal.
The Must-Play Video Games of the Year
If the year is 1982. What's amazing about these nearly 30-year-old(!) games is how good the graphics look given the technology and how playable and fun they still seem. But of course today the penalty for failure is still 'video death'. And mockery.
Little Girl Channels Her Inner Rum
Apparently DisneylandÂ’s Jedi Academy has a stage show where they choose a kid out of the audience and give them the opportunity to reject Vader and battle him on stage. But when Sarah Gallejo was chosen, she went off-script - and accepted Vader's offer of joining the dark side. Turning off her saber and kneeling was a particularly nice touch. The Sith welcome their newest member.
Think You're a Fan of Ken? No, you're just an amateur.

Agreed. The best graphics I've seen in a video game (even better than GoW3, although those graphics were a bit rough to match the environment of that game), despite the low resolution, has got to be in Riven. Rendered 3D graphics simply haven't caught up with the amount of detail that those photos in Riven depicted.

It may be, but it's not like every officer does not know this. Extremely rare to stay on active duty as an officer with one of these. Even rarer if you are a CO.

They were really poor and mom said it would be a nice thing for me to do. Although we weren't much better off at the time! Dad was overseas and mom was pregnant with my brother. Tough times. Dads next assignment was to Vandenburg. Thought I had died and gone to Heaven!

I had a baby doll named Susie when I was a toddler, and somewhere my parents probably still have the photo of me trying to breastfeed her like I'd seen my mother feed my sister.
I'm suddenly inexplicably very sad. Not sure whether I should get another beer, or go cry myself to sleep.

Wasn't that thing called the "townhouse" - if so I coveted that damn thing. We had the camper and the corevette but my bratty rich cousin had those AND the townhouse with the elevator. m

I also had a shotgun and a handgun.
Now? A shoe collection that rivals Imelda, guns, a truck, and a corvette. I consider myself well-rounded.

My brother's Alienware computer died and I tried to use his old flat screen monitor a couple of weeks ago, but it had some screwy cable that wouldn't connect to my old computer. It's called DVI.
So as I was calling around local computer shops today, looking for a used LCD with a VGA connector. One of the geeks told me all DVI monitors also have a VGA connector so I looked on the back of my brother's monitor and she was right!
I now have a big, (used) new, bright monitor!
With all of the political shit that's been going on the last few days I've now mostly tuned out of the blogs and have returned to FPS gaming. I haven't gamed for years. It's a great break from shitty political news and arguments -- it's really a great relief.
I'm not gonna totally tune out of politics, but I think I'll be doing a lot more gaming for the next year or two.
My crummy old computer can't play Half-Life 2 or Doom 3 or anything like that but I'm having lots of fun playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Half-Life. It's amazing that games demanding really high levels of concentration can be more soothing than politics.

BTW do you know why the AK is so popular cuz any idiot can operate it. the AK is a dirty girl. you can do her with a dirty dick. you can dump her in the dirt neglect her and jack her up and it will still shoot.
the A 4 is a fussy bitch. you cant do her with a dirty dick. you gotta pay attention to her keep her clean love her and then she will take care of you. but like a nice girl, you gotta treat her nice, and in return its a better partner more accurate, but you gotta be a wise operator.
I am so glad i have knives and know how to use those. they are like hammers. And quite a bit more useful on a farm.

Male sibling is married (happily). No current spouse but two exes.

No, she let me play with when we were around so I would have never torched that! Not bratty really. She told me I was lucky because my Mom & Dad ate dinner with me at night and hers were usually out and she ate with the babysitter (which was essentially a nanny). How sad is that?

Lacey - I meant to add that my cousin was also spoiled rotten in "things" because her parents couldn't really be bothered spending any time with her so they bought her everything! Later in life she told me she was always jealous of us because at least we had siblings to play with. Sad but happily she has turned out to be a wonderful person and a fantastic mom to 4 kids.

but i learned patches, and how to whip seams shut fixing old stuffed animals.
every once in a while a model horse would break his leg and i even expirimented with drilling a hole and stuffing a nail in there to pin the busted leg. anyoner else have problems fixing breyer Horses?
that was a bitch for me when the legs broke. i always was so broken hearted. i broke one a couple years ago and it still makes me cry.

Per the article...
In his first tumbling run, Blanik performs a front flip off of the springboard, followed by a whipback (a no-handed backhandspring), back handspring, triple twist, whipback, back handspring, triple twist. He follows that up with a round-off right into a double layout, whipback, back handspring double layout, whipback, whipback, double back with a full twist. Phew.
That gives me vertigo just reading that description.

I remember my gramma showing me how to sew on a button to put the eye back on my teddy bear.
My first memory (that I know is a memory and not from a story I heard) is of my mother putting my white stuffed cat in the dryer, and it came out with the whole face gone except one eye. I remember screaming for hours because it was hurt and couldn't see, and then my dad came home from school and sat on the couch and made it an eye out of two colors of felt. After we moved to Iowa, a neighbor gave it a button nose.
I learned the running stitch and satin stitch to make a pillow and blanket for my stuffed Ernie.
My niece and nephews have so many toys they don't even notice when parts break off or pieces get lost.

- He was the guy who discovered that by treating soil with lime, you could recover its nutrients. This completely changed the fortunes of southern states like Virginia and North Carolina, where planters wore out the soil with tobacco, and couldn't plant anything anything else.
- Admittance to John Brown's hanging was tightly controlled. Ruffin pulled some strings such that he was enlisted for that day and that day only in the army, which allowed him to see John Brown swing/
- The day he learned that Lee had surrendered at Appomattox, Ruffin wrapped himself in a Confederate Flag and put a bullet through his brain.
Hard core, Ruffin.

I can't reveal the person or the location, as IIRC it wasn't a place we were *in* at the time, but I knew someone who, as part of their work, had a case of 7.62x39 reloaded with pistol powder - some of y'all know what that would do.
Anyway, they intercepted a shipment of Chinese ammo, opened all the boxes and seeded the "upgraded" rounds randomly, then closed it all back up and let it go.
I wonder how many AKs exploded before they abandoned the shipment? Or if they ever figured it out?
Heh. I've seen AKs explode.

I've decided that if I can quit while I still enjoy (translate:: love) it and am dealing with unbelievable stress, I'll be able to slay the demon. I wish it wasn't bad for me.

I don't know if you remember hearing about a movie called "A Walk to Beautiful" a couple of years back. It won an Emmy. In any case, watched it a couple of nights ago and it was pretty unbelievable. It's about women in Africa who, after toiling from childhood, carrying very heavy baskets and water, with inadequate nutrition, their bodies never grow. So, they remain really tiny, like a preteen in America. They are forced into marriage at a very young age and when they get pregnant their tiny little bodies can't deliver the baby so it basically just hangs around inside of them until it dies. That's only the beginning.
I literally cried watching those girls and what they go through.
It made me remember that we are truly blessed.
If you get a chance to watch it, do.

The taste of the tobacco would linger in my mouth long enough for me to convince myself I had just had a cigarette.
Then I smoked a pipe for a few months, then got sick of fucking with the pipe all the time and by that time I was over it.
Liquor was cold turkey in 2006. Best thing I ever did. Saved my life.
But when I have more than two beers I want a shot of bourbon and a cigarette so bad I'd choke a nun to get one. Serious self control test.

No, more like she's just mean and possibly jealous. We cut down our hours last year and this year - everyone basically took a pay cut in order to keep the business running. I think she's pissed that I bought my vehicle, but she didn't say that exactly. Used the fact that I was picking up some jeans from getting hemmed as an excuse to say, "You took a pay cut like the rest of us, right? Where's all your money coming from?"
a) none of her fucking business, b) I'm frugal and I put money aside from every paycheck, c) I don't have as many bills to pay , d) yeah, I got my pay cut, but I work the same hours as before - in fact, I work more since now I've taken on more duties and also work from home during the evenings. I work five days a week, not four.

IE9 works much better than previous versions, but it still does odd things with webpages that work fine in FF.
I'm running FF4 and it seems stable and works on all the sites I visit.
Of course, I didn't have any versions of FF on the machine before installing 4.

It takes practice. It helps to have a country/Southron friend, they live on snark and poking fun at each other.
Seriously, practice. You know how I practiced? Do your own MST3K and make fun of people on TV. They can't fight back or laugh at you and you can hone your skills.
Also, they're idiots, so plenty of opportunity.
I used to hang out at a friends' house and we'd watch what we called "mockumentaries," they were TV documentaries (Disco channel or whatever), but so many of them were so bad we couldn't help but mock them.

With only two drives, the best you can hope for is a mirror. But that means you copy the problem to both drives. Not a good answer.
RAID5 is the best, because of striping: 1234-1234 pattern on 5 drives gives complete redundancy. The idea is that the drives can re-build if one failes.
There's problly sumpin a whole let better out now. That's what we did in the 90s.

You usually can go outside the spec but it's best to keep as close as possible to the same spec (size, speed, # of sectors and heads, etc) to avoid slowdowns.
With software RAID you can do whatever you want. Some old hardware RAID solutions were *very* picky about drives, the new ones less so.
See if you can find an online forum for he brand you have, someone will have asked.
Not all hardware supports Nested RAID anyway.

That commercial irritates me to know end. It's all about being "prepared" yet the fucker is driving through the desert with no coolant in the engine or in the trunk. He casually pulls the steaming car to the station and casually strolls out taking a swig from a bottle of water.
They don't show the part where he pops the cap and gets a face full of steam. Or when he was sitting outside bitching and moaning while waiting for it to cool down.
Prepared? That's what you call "prepared"?

He has been quite consistent in winning me over. I am becoming a big fan and not just of what he has to say, but how he says it. He has a gift for saying something in such a way that just cuts to the bone but isn't at all offensive. He is very good. The man managed to make his home toilets a topic of conversation in the Senate and not even seem vulgar or out-of-place.
He reminds me of a guy at work. The fellow makes great money as a salesperson but his wife is a VP at Merrill Lynch. The have a condo on the Hudson and a condo on the intracoastal in Ponte Vedra where he stays when he comes to town to check on the construction of their Ponte Vedra beachhouse. The dude is never in a bad mood. He entertains clients, eats great meals and drinks great liquor, and then drives his 7-series BMW home to his successful young wife. Nothing fazes him because he could walk away from the job tomorrow.

Yeah, finding a good instructor can be challenging. I really lucked out with mine. She's so freaking awesome and she pushes me hard, but never so hard that I'll hurt myself. The first time I did it, I was sore for about 3 days. Now I'm never sore more than a day or two and even then, barely.

if i may add? any type of dance studio or even the contests themselves. i met my wife at one
chicks love a dude who can dance (plus chicks who dance are in good shape and have great legs!!!)
as kratos would say......DECADENCE!!!!

I've always wanted to try Tai Chi. We ended up with Yoga because we couldn't find a reputable Tai Chi class. Then, we stopped our gym membership... haven't done Yoga in ... two years.

There's a Yoga studio right across the corner from us, but they're sooo expensive and the ladies going in are scary. We can probably find a better one for less, but we're taking flameworking classes instead.
I do need to get into shape, though. Ah, for the days when I studied karate. Now, then, I was limber.

Well, we have a variety of self-serve retirement options encouraged under our normal pay structure, and while temps don't get full health coverage we do have Bacta tanks.
If you have time off to travel we have our own medical facilities and doctors, otherwise we recommend you just go to an emergency room and pretend to be an illegal immigrant.
Once you're on permanently you will have access to SithCare, which includes portable diagnostic equipment and online contact with your doctor or an AI simulation thereof. Prescriptions are free.
Well, you steal them yourself, but that's still free.
