Heh. New Orleans Mardi Gras float mocks Obamacare disaster.
For those of you attending Mardi Gras, beware those dirty beads.
Beads and throws may start off in pristine condition, but by the time they are sorted, prepped, thrown, caught and many times thrown again, those beads may be carrying more than the Mardi Gras spirit."Germs, virus, flu virus, bacteria contamination, soil, mud, dirt, just all the usual stuff that you have worry about that comes with its own germs," listed Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital pediatrician Dr. Chris Funes.
Remember, what does not kill you, just makes you stronger. Breast-Feeding
Breast-feeding benefits overstated? You don't say. I hated how others would treat you like a heathen if you bottle fed your baby. Much like the AGW crowd. You either tow the line, or face ridicule, scorn and being called a Nazi or something.

I wonder if moms will be required to put food labels on their breasts in order to comply with the new $2 billion dollar Obama/FDA labeling program.
Pomplamoose
Impressive music video mixing Pharrell and Daft Punk that was completed in one take.
College Pron Star
This won't help her generate sympathy. Duke student who does pron to pay for college turned down full scholarship to Vandy.
Mount Everest
Summit season is approaching (May timeframe) and we find that Joby Ogwyn plans to summit Everest then change into his wingsuit and jump off, gliding his way back down to base camp.
Hopefully this guy does not get added to the list of over 200 bodies on Mount Everest.
Godzilla
Oh man, put me down in the ima gonna go see it in the theater column.
Related: Godzilla vs Heisenberg.
Here's a short little video that wasn't too shabby. Batman vs Terminator.
Weather Forecast Using Your Cat
I don't know, I think my replaced acl in my knee is pretty accurate. Your cat can predict the weather.
When cats sneeze it is a sign of rain.
The cardinal point to which a cat turns and washes her face after rain shows the directing from which the wind will blow.
When cats are snoring foul weather follows.
It is a sign of rain if the cat washes her head behind her ear.
When cats lie on their head with mouth turned up [on their back] expect a storm.
When a cat washes her face with her back to the fire expect a thaw in winter.
Sharp Elbows

Well isn't this special. High school senior scores a date to the prom with a Houston Texan cheerleader.

Here's where I find Amy's argument to be wrong: without Indy, the Nazis would still have died. However, if Indy wasn't there then eventually the Nazis would have investigated what happened to their team, found the Ark and the film of the destruction, and continued their experiments and perhaps figured out a way to use the Ark to their advantage.

I've tried milk directly from the breast vs the bottled formula stuff, and the formula stuff tastes better. But it's not nearly as much FUN to drink.

the first had done so well. 95th percentile on the growth charts for both,daughter is a healthy, happy 5'9" and son is 6'4". Posted by: Fourth Horseman at March 01, 2014 11:27 PM (GKF3X)
I was 2 months premature, was 2 pounds 8 oz when I was born and spent most of my first year in the hospital so I was not breastfed. I am 5'8" and 148 lbs. (and I have weighed considerably more than that and will again if I don't watch it). It's true I was extremely skinny until I was 12 and then puberty and genes caught up with me.
Your genes have more to do with your adult height and weight than breast-feeding or your childhood diet, although I imagine actually being malnourished during your childhood could stunt growth.
Most of the baby boomers were bottle-fed. I've never noticed that they're a stunted bunch (not physically anyway - mentally, that's a different matter :-)

Well, actually, I remember the U.S. media describing Reagan during the early Yuri Andropov years as bullying the Soviet leadership -- by not holding any summit meetings with them, in which his military buildup could be discussed and negotiated.
Not yet having realized what incredible bullshit artists and fellow travellers the American media are, I bought into this at the time.
It was years later that I realized I had been had, reading the memoirs of key Reagan administration participants, who indicated that they had been making regular overtures to Moscow at that time, trying to arrange a summit, all of which had been contemptuously and silently ignored.
It was only after Reagan declared his intent to pursue the Strategic Defense Initiative that suddenly the Kremlin become _very_ interested in talking to him. Funny, that.

Tammy al-Thor: The difference is that you can leave those churches without fear of being hunted down and killed as a heretic. Female Orthodox Jewish women wear wigs (they cut their hair after marriage) and Orthodox men don't shave, have to wear black and can't drive or write on the Sabbath. They are not the same as Muslims.
I wouldn't belong to one of those churches myself, but they have a perfect right to set their own rules - just as long as those rules do not involve breaking the law (multiple wives, honor killings, etc) or trying to force their faith on others. I don't think it's a terrible thing that very strict churches or communities like the Amish exist.
I can understand why someone might look at the dreck that is "culture" circa 2014 and decide they're better off steering clear of it. I can also understand why someone would want to leave that culture and enter the larger world.

I don't care if a mom breastfeeds or formula feeds.. as long as she feeds her kids it's all good, in my book. My first baby was born 10 weeks early due to severe preeclampsia. She was in the NICU 7 weeks, during which I tried everything I could to pump enough breastmilk for her. I won't bore you with the details, but I tried everything the lactation nurses, the NICU nurses, and everybody else told me to do. I never produced more than 10ml at a time. I gave up trying shortly after she came home because it was simply adding more stress to an already stressful situation. With my second baby, who was born without any significant medical problems during the pregnancy, I was determined to breast feed and once again did everything I was told to do. Once again, it simply didn't work and I ended up throwing in the towel after four stressful weeks (and one sobbing phone call to my sister-in-law for advice on what to do, made from my bedroom closet so that my well-meaning-but-judgemental-pro-breastfeeding-mother-in-law wouldn't hear).
I know, breast is best (and cheaper.. formula is damn expensive) but sometimes it doesn't fucking work and mothers shouldn't be shamed for choosing to feed their children real food instead of hope. I can't tell you how much of a relief it was to simply let go of the guilt over not achieving the "ideal" of motherhood and accept the truth: that formula was the right choice for me and my kids, no matter what the "experts" and other busybodies might think.
So yeah, fuck the breastapo.

Worse yet!
Admitting any of the failures of The Won *also* implies admitting that certain prominent prior critics of the man had been correct. For instance:
-- Someone claimed that Obamacare was going to turn out to be a disaster
sarahpalin
-- Someone predicted that Obamanomics and the "stimulus" package would turn out to be the biggest waste of borrowed money in the entire history of the nation
sarahpalin
-- Someone quite specifically predicted that Obama's spineless foreign policy stance and intent to sharply draw down the U.S. military would lead to Russia invading Ukrainian territory
sarahpalin
Over and over again with laser accuracy.
But for a liberal ever to admit that Sarah Palin had been right about ANYTHING, even once, much less repeatedly having been completely correct, entails cranium-bursting levels of cognitive dissonance. Error! Error! Does not compute! ::: smoke bursts from ears :::

"But conservatives the world over can take things too far, just as liberals go too far in the other direction."
True enough - but as long as they're not threatening to slit everyone else's throat or performing female circumcisions on their daughters, it's not my business.
I once knew a man who had been raised Amish and left the community. He was very torn. Part of him had hated that life and yet, he was a hard worker, very moral and honest - and he attributed that to his upbringing. He missed the closeness and warmth of that community and hated its' narrow horizons.

Would it even be an option for his wife to leave? Would it even be an option for her to take his son (his first-born, healthy, not that young son? I'll admit I'm no expert on vikings but those situations just seem anachronistic to me.

One of the things he talked about was breast feeding. Apparently in traditional societies, children breast feed about every 14 minutes for a minute or two at a time. Children also breast feed from their mother while she is sleeping. Obviously these mothers do not have 8 to 5 office jobs but apparently they are able to dig up roots or what ever sort of hunting and gathering they do despite the frequent interruptions.
I am not sure that this information adds anything to the discussion but you can file it away as stuff some guy said on the internet.

Anna Puma: Latrina is helped by the ignorance of her peers. Given today's educational system, I wouldn't be surprised if she has never heard of a latrine. If she decides to move up from the cashier position at some point, she'll feel mortified by her name.
The worst one I've heard was a single mother at my hospital who had to be told it would be a bad idea to name her daughter Vagina. She had only heard the slang terms for the female sex organ. She thought vagina was a pretty sounding word and had no idea what it meant.

Actually, I'm surprised rad fems don't name their girls vagina. They're so proud of having one. And they think all the non-vagina'ed people are evil and bad. It's the only thing that matters to them so why not name their kid after their most - their only -valued bodily part?
Perhaps because they don't have daughters?

I think I went full viking years ago. Being a viking metal/folk metal/death metal guitar player probably didn't help matters. Somebody got me a bottle of viking blod mead around the holidays as a joke, because I always say one day I'm going to build a metal themed mead hall as my man cave. Anyway, that shit is great, so I get a bottle every so often, and I had the last glass tonight. A tad pricey though at $30 a bottle, so I pace myself. Its the weekend so I was due. Damn I need to learn how to make it, I need a gallon a month. lol

I did read up a little on it. It don't seem "too" hard. The thing that sucks is it takes 6 months before its drinkable at all, and really a year before its worth a shit. You would have to make a batch every month to keep yourself supplied.
Then again....if I had a mead hall......and some tall blond chicks to tend to a few big ass vats....hmm....

In the case of mead, the difficulty is the cost of honey. 10, 15lbs of honey is ain't cheap. Posted by: weft cut-loop at March 02, 2014 02:27 AM (uctT+) Hide posts from (uctT+)

Well from what I have read you can make it in 5 gallon batches which should give around 25 bottles, so really 2 batches a year would do it. I think its about $3-4 a bottle when you are done, which is way better than $30. I didn't read too deep into it, but it seems you can tweak it a bit as its aging, but I'm not sure. There seems to be some good recipes out there, so I would think it would be halfway decent on the first run, unless something tragic happens. I don't know, I just want a shitload of it. lol
