A word trending in the improperly used department is the word, "ostensibly."  Many newscasters have taken to using it as a lead in clause to reports. I suspect it gives them a full satsified feeling to use it as it is rather a robust and hearty word.

Arborists are mainly creations of liberal planers. They are mainly paid to tell you how close you can dig to a tree which is just outside the dripline like it always was and always will be. If a branch fell off your tree then you need to cut it back to the trunk and go about your business.

If you are worried about disease call an arborist. If a branch fell off call someone with a chain saw.

this is a pet peeve of mine as well. im not sure why they need to make communicating harder. Ayn Rand had theories about his. I hate to say its lookin like she was right...

Do I just do it? Do I just ask the landlord to do it? Or do I offer to buy the stuff, knock it off the rent, and do it myself?

Ask your landlord to do it first, if he hems and haws then offer to do it yourself if he knocks a little off of this next months rent. If he says no then burn the place to the ground.

Went with son and younger daughter to Monterey's Cannery Row Brewing Company this Saturday night to see how far we would get with the 57 different kind of beers on tap. Almost threw up when I got one with Coriander in it. Who in their right mind puts coriander in beer, or any of that other fancy shmancy shit.

Ended up stopping with a good Münchner Hofbräu Dunkel and getting good and drunk on that.

Regarding the pistol shooting under water: I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the barrel is structurally damaged at this point. I certainly wouldn't do that to any of my weapons. One may discover that his barrel has a weak point and puffs out after being shot, or it fails explosively (turning into small metallic shards of pain).

That said, awesome video and fun to watch.

A Pirate would create a list of demands and deliver it to the landlord.

Do not offer examples of what would happen should he fail to meet them. Expect them to be met.

However, it is permissible to put on a display of cannon fire, in his general direction. Pirates often find this to be quite effective.

I don't know, I was hoping you might show us but that is just me

As to renting. First look at the lease. There may be a clause about repairs as to notification.

You can then kindly reference the lease back to the landlord and ask whether they will do them or if they would be willing to have you do them for reduction. But whatever you do, please get it in writing.

Someone suggested calling your insurance agent. Ask them: "Do you want to pay for a tree-trimmer or a new roof"? My cousin had a Silver Maple right next to his house that was a real hazard during storms. Some insurance companies can be talked into a little preventative medicine.

Here in SWPA insurance companies buy coyotes, electronically chip them, and then release them.

Coyotes hunt deer and they figure it's cheaper to buy coyotes than pay for all the car accidents caused by deer.

Careful with calling the insurance agent about the tree. If you advise them of pending damage, you are effectively communicating constructive notice and the responsibility rests with the homeowner to protect property.

Now Chemjeff, if the tree has fallen onto the house or a portion of it has, and caused damage, typically most policies contain coverage for debris removal.

Now if the tree is in pain, call Klondike 555 - sebelius.

Chemjeff,

Branches or not if the tree fell and caused damage even minor they should come and remove the branches and also allocate costs to remove the tree.

Now days, it seems insurance companies will go the extra step to just get rid of the tree.

Make sure the tree is on your property.

Some jurisdictions allow for treble damages if you cut down someone else's tree. Unbelievable.

What is the state of Egypt right now.  Is it fair to say it is the most unstable it has been in perhaps 30 years?

That's a fair assessment.  But remember that Egypt has been spoiling for a fight against Israel ever since Israel came back as a literal state.  While Nasser failed miserably to antagonist/destroy Israel at least 2 times, he is lauded as a hero while the man who made a peace (albeit a cold peace) with Israel, Sadat, (who also got back the Sinai from Israel) is seen as a weakling - his death wasn't even that lamented by the Egyptian populace.

no big ladder, but even if I did - the branches are BIG, and one of them is trapped in the crook where the chimney meets the roof, so I can't even reach that one

hmm. Yeah, you should probably contact your insurance company. If it is as big as you say and it landed in the crook where the chimney meets the roof then there is a decent chance it fucked up your flashing.

If it did then that could let water into your house when it rains. When the guy comes to take it off your roof, ask him to check out your flashing to see if it was damaged.

So the Arab Spring which Obama has helped spawn has essentially destabilized the middle east, thus providing a pathway for extremists to foment aggression through new channels amidst a populist uprising that is sympathetic with mono-thesistic muslim nationalism and now NATO in a unilateral campaign has led a proxy war under Obama providing armed rebels with caches of weapons to wreak further destabilization in the region in an area that is a stones throw away from Italy and Greece, which are economically unstable as is the entire world.

So, when do we get our Mae West vests?

Richard,

I don't know if you are serious or just joking but this is a bona fide period of grace to restore faith. 

Look, if we knew everything it would obviate the need for faith which is believing but not seeing in the simplest of terms.

Many will mock prayer and that it seems trivial and antiquated however, it is very powerful.

And while I don't know if Richard is serious or not, anyone reading this, who is overwhelmed, prayer works wonders.

I am scared shitless for the future of my country.  You couch your fear in a rather poetic way, which takes some of the sting out of harsh reality.  Monty's doom threads are not entertainment, they are ongoing evidence of a serious decline that will end in tears. Not sometime in the future, but around the corner.  

I tear up whenever I have a discussion with many if not most of my "friends". They cannot see. They will not see.  More govt cheese, please.

I'm making a mental list of those who I will help and those I will not (assuming I'm not dead in the gutter) , as it will be coming down to precisely this.   You want to take my money for your benefit, using the govt as your personal thief,  you  remove yourself from my charitable purview.  And shortly, it is all anyone will have left-  private charity from those who might have anticipated the chaos and positioned accordingly.   Perhaps as it should be.

I just wish NATO would stand down for a week and let that thing grind a little. I am so tired of watching people throw up V signs and firing perfectly good ammo into the air. He's dead. No, he's alive. He's captured. No, he mysteriously escaped. Is that bags of money that I hear changing hands over there, or what?! Newly rich rebels moving to Miami will be our clue.

Eyptp is a clusterfuck right now. No one is in charge. The last time they tried that shit they were backed by the Soviets and got their ass beat. This time they are backed by no one. Not even our miserable CIC would back Egypt against Israel.

Besides, Israel has nukes. I don't think they would mind turning part of Egypt into a glass parking lot. Egpyt knows all of this.

The voters consciously pulled the lever for Obama in 2008.

No one put a gun to their fucking heads.

The real problem is all the piss-poor worthless crap that we largely have as an electorate in this country now.

Israel has kicked Egypt's ass before and there is no Soviet empire or Kissinger to save the dumbass Egyptians this time.

They want hell, they ll get it.

It will be a brutal preemptive strike from Israel. They learned in 1973.

Even the Egyptian army is not that stupid.

actually what I want more than anything for him is prayer. i am a big believer and any lifting him up in your intentions is so greatly appreciated. and just listening to me get lonely,  and miss him, and be scared, without gettin mad at me for bein a whuss.

you kno, i have to pretend hes workin in a normal job when i talk to him, and act like its ok... or its even harder on him. He sent me a not tellin me he knows how hard this is on me but he cant talk about it for he will break down when we skype. so he was sending me the note to let me know he noticed and appreciated how brave i was bein for his sake.

and he said he really appreciates the prayers. so if you wanna keep them coming or ad him to a prayer list go ahead. Im sure God knows who Gushka's Mr Grim is. Hes good that way at figuring it out.

Once Egypt shakes out, we will see what happens. The likeliest outcome is that the MB and other fundamentalist groups get elected, then change the laws ...

This will likely take a few years, since, while very many Egyptians really profess Islam, even strict Islam and Shari'a, having to ACTUALLY LIVE (grammar for effect) under Shari'a .... no, that was never the plan. But is the likeliest outcome, unless another strongman appears.

Will the Egyptian Army camel-up and try to roll into Israel? Having an M-1, or even a thousand, is not the same as being very good at USING that M-1, let alone a thousand. The problem is the Egyptian troops and Arab culture, and the Egyptian officers know this.

My guess is that some general, generals or colonels, and maybe a couple of bureaucrats, will have the foresight to try to form shock battalions of MB and other fundamentalist 'martyrs', to lead any assault against Israel. If they succeed, then Egypt wins; if they are slaughtered, then Egypt is freed from the 13th plague.

Posted by: progressoverpeace at August 23, 2011 12:44 AM (F5tJy)

I'mnot particularly optimistic either, but look at the alternatives. The 1980's Iran-Iraq War ended as effectively a stalemate.  Iran took titanic losses, and their government stayed in power.

But a lot of people have learned from the Iran-Iraq War, and very many of them are in the ME. Could a mullah or 10 incite the Iranians to attac Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan or one of the Central Asian 'stans? They would need serious provocation to succeed.

The Eyptians, and others are not unaware of the Iranian experience. I expect to see a lot of pushback against the MB by "others" (to be named ... soon I think), who will not allow the MB to use religion as their reserved weapon.

I think alAzhar U. will rule against the MB; specifically, they will issues fatwas against anone who tries to declare the "others" as un-Islamic, heretical, ... this will provide a great deal of un-assailable legitimacy to the "others", and force the MB to play ... nicer ... or something. 

Perhaps we will see Mecca get involved, and I suspect against the MB, as the Saudis know which side of the pita has the hummus on it.  But the Saudis are hated by just about everyone, andit is only money from oil, spent on mercenaries, that keeps them in power.  They could disappear soon, with little explanation.

But there are many factions, and I expect to see much maneuvering.  Then I expect to see blood.

Giving back the Sinai was not a great choice, but it seems necesary from an historical and from a military point of view.  Giving it back made Israel look good (even though this has been forgotten), and it bought Israel 30 or so years of peace. I think this 30 years cost less than if Israel had to maintain a few divisions there.

But there is a very good chance that Israel will have to retake the Sinai, and I think very soon.  But this time, they will have a legitimate reason for keeping it; like the Golan Heights, peace prevails only when Israel controls the area.

If this happens, I expect to see the Gaza strip walled off from Israel, and the West Bank will become much more Israeli. I think there will be no Palestinian "issue", at least not an internal one, ever again. Palestinians will only be in Egypt and Jordan.

Yep.  But, even more importantly, Israel has to learn that you cannot give back land won in war from arabs without extracting a very, very high price (and a real asset, not words and shit).  Otherwise, the arabs have no respect for you and are just egged on, in their demented thinking.

I don't see this happening.  Shamir really screwed the pooch when he released Jordan and Egypt from the Palis.  That was incredibly idiotic.  At least, Egypt and Jordan had things to lose.  "Negotiating" with the Palestinians is a total joke.  They have nothing to offer (other than promises to try and act civilized, which they seem incapable of doing, anyway).  Every time someone speaks about Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, I ask them what the Palis have to negotiate with.  It's like trying to haggle with a guy who's buying your car with monopoly money that you give him, and he's still being a prick about the price.

You score with your analysis of the Palestinians. But at some point, the Israelis have to make a decision: how much is enough? At some point, the Israelis, even the Leftist ones will have to decide to either cut out the cancer, or die temselves.

Remember the Egyptian cleric who saw nothing wrong with buying and selling non-muslims (clip at HA, IIRC, probably MM, Jawa Report, MEMRI, and maybe even here), and when he desired a girl, simply went to the maket and bought one? This, ultimately, is what the Israelis face, if they lose, and, by extension, all of the rest of us or our descendants, eventually.

I expect to see the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the part that is under current dispute, soon become very small. There will be no roads linking the two.

Ohio Dan. Ever try Blue Label Johnny Walker or single malt Dalwhennie

I've had red and black Johnnie, never blue.  I believe I had a glass of a Dalwhennie but it has been so long I can't recall for sure.  I occassionally spring for a $40-$60 bottle of scotch.  I am too tight to go $100 plus for it.  I did like the single malt Glen Farclas.  It took about a minute to go thru the different nuanced flavors and it lingered on the pallet for up to 3 minutes.  Good stuff.

Wow, that must have hurt your brain..........are you alright??????

I want to see a full-blown, 2000 word rant from Ace about this student loan issue.  Why is it that minorities feel free to demand special accomodations from the government because their beliefs are not compatible with the laws of the land?  I'd say I was waiting for some paleo-pagans to demand government permission to carry out human sacrifice like the Druids of old, except I'm afraid that they'd actually get it (well, in Europe at least).  Do these governments have no sense of culture, of respecting the will of the majority?  When you allow a minority to bluster and threaten and have their way, all you do is further rationalize the use of actual violence to achieve their goals if you frustrate their demands in the future.  Does anyone in Europe have a pair any more?  Maybe Merkel, since she told the PIIGS to drop dead a la Ford, but this is what our once prized ally Britain has sunk to?

Hmm, there's another topic that would be fun--revisiting Ford refusing to bail out New York.  Seems to me that NYC ended up doing just fine without having tons of federal funds thrown at it...

Ron Paul would not know what the Constitution means if it bit him in the ass. He is like Oblowme, he makes it what he wants it to be and that is not presidential material in my book.

So you don't know a lot about him but in the thread you mentioned you thought he should be the candidate that supporters of Palin should get behind if she doesn't run.  And even though you know next to nothing about him you think he is the candidate independents will get behind.

Tell me, what's it like to have shit flowing out your ears, because you're filled to the brim with it.

Except you already revealed what you meant by "foreign policy" in your first comment.  Its all about the Jooos and how just because Jews in the US are liberals we shouldn't support Israel.  So sounds like you are just fine with Ron Paul's foreign policy.
