News You Can Use: So Who's That Hawt Ad Girl?
Thanks to the internet you need never again go through life wondering who that hot girl in the ad you watched repeatedly is. Or where she does her laundry.
Because these days there's a blog for every possible niche, kink, and quirky interest. And no matter how freaky you are, there's still a group of like-minded freaks out on the web who manage to take it all a little too far.
And don't thank me - thank DrewM.
Q: Who is High Maintenance Girl in this AXE Snake Peel commercial?A: Sophie Lovell Anderson
Sophie is an actress from the UK and has been appeared on TV shows (most notably Secret Diary of a Call Girl) and movie roles such as Stag Night of the Dead. She has also starred in a few UK commercials solidifying her WITHAG credentials.
How To Get Along With The Opposite Sex
And here Neo-neocon points to some tongue-in-cheek advice to both men and women.
If you ask a woman a question, don't interrupt her response by saying, as you impatiently tap your fingertips on the nearest table, "Get to the point." The point you don't get is that our intricate narratives - interlaced as they are with our multi-layered interpretations, embroidered with the richness of our subtle observations, and enhanced by our exquisite cascades of details that might well have entirely escaped your notice, and without which your understanding of life would be the poorer - are what an answer is to us. As Walter Cronkite used to say, "And that's the way it is."
I so wish Mrs. Maetenloch could tell me what happened each day with a title - 'Intrigue at Work' - and a summary - "They announced the new program and Mary is so unhappy she's transferring and Jane may quit" - followed by how it all went down which may then include the details of the dream she had last night and what's on sale at Kohls. But alas I know that can never be.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon - 4,500 Built And Still Going
The first YF-16 flew as part of the Light Weight Fighter competition in 1974. Of course, back then it was a General Dynamics product. It wasn't until 1993 that Lockheed acquired GD's aircraft business, including the F-16. To celebrate the delivery of the 4,500th F-16, Lockheed Martin released this video.
Given the sheer numbers of F-16s produced and their popularity around the world it's very likely there'll be F-16s still flying in 2050.
Cause it'd be a shame to go through an apocalypse all sober.
I think you can guess how this tune goes.
The Yahoo AoSHQ group. Bla bla bla.
And don't forget about the Job Bank.
And my twitter thang.

Bill, when I was inprocessing at Edwards AFB, c. 1979, they showed us lots of flight test films with comments, including this one. The F-16 accidental flight was actually the first time the aircraft left the ground.

The first F-4 Phantom flew in 1956, I believe.
Over 5,000 of the two -seat multi-role fighter / strike airplane were built, for the Navy, Air Force, Marines and many exports.
At this time, I doubt more than a few are still flying anywhere. So when the F-16 officially terminates production at Lockheed Martin, I give it 15 years after that when the last one is still flying in any quantity with any air force anywhere. A fighter plane goes through a lot more engine and acceleration evolutions than a B52, for instance, and the airframes will flat wear out after so many thousands of hours of flight.
But it was and is a great little bird.

Germany flew them for a long time too. They used to train in New Mexico. Been retired for about 12 years now and don't know if they still do. They used to fly the F-104 at Luke AFB back in the early 80's, long after we put ours in the boneyard. I worked F-4's for about 3 years or so.

By far the hardest lesson for me to learn in marriage.
Thor, God bless him, never told me. But after, I dunno, 5 years or so, I noticed his eyes started glazing over about 10 minutes (seconds??) in to my story. I have since tried to remember he doesn't really want to hear it all.
It's a teeny bit hurtful, but I know it's just a Dude thing and the upside is, he is far more likely to pay attention to what I say when I keep it brief.

Nope. According to Wiki they retired their last ones in 2004.
I remember them flying over as a kid when I was visiting my relatives. They would break the sound barrier -- which I thought was perhaps the coolest thing in the entire history of mankind. But I was 12, so that may have been a factor.

Yeah, they found out that the North Vietnamese had a different take on dogfighting, and the lack of a gun was kinda hurtful. There was a gatling gun that was retrofitted to the older models that was spun up by the airspeed of the plane. Then later models had the gatling gun built in with an electric drive motor. All the later model fighters have the Vulcan gatling gun in them.
The Sparrow was supposed to be the all-weather killer missile, but in the '60's it only worked about 15-20% of the time. The early Sidewinders were pretty effective, and the latest interation is still an awesome short range weapon.

We had C models at Luke. We hung 20mm gatling gun pods on the centerline station. I think they were called SUU-23 pods IIRC. Internal gun came out in the E model.

When my daughter tells a story you CANNOT interrupt her....ever. She's been this way since she was little. If you did interrupt her, she would start the story all over again. I would tell my husband and son to not ask any questions or say anything until she is finished. I should never have said anything to either of them because from then on, whenever she'd start one of her stories, they would both get this look in their eyes....wait until she's about 5 mins. in and start asking questions. OY! The damn story would start all over again right after she yelled at them for interrupting her. Every.damn.time.

The external pod sucked IIRC. They put internal gatlings in later and that was much better.
Of course there are few problems that can't be solved by a 20mm gatling gun.

L Rob, you probably know more about this than me, but I think the reason why they took the F-4' s from the Thunderbirds was because they were so expensive (fuel wise) to operate. From what I understand, the F-4 is also pretty difficult to fly. The older models were a little heavy and underpowered in climbs and turns. Flat out they were very fast.
Which is why they went to the T-38's (meh) and then to the F-16 (better). The F-15 is also a big gas hog, and the Air Force didn't have enough to spare to risk losing one in an air show (which seems to happen every so many years).

Speaking as a male moron, I'm not sure this is actually the best of advice if you want a relationship. Yes, if you want to make sure that you don't have sex with a player and then see him dump you, don't have sex for a long time... But, if the guy is into you and not just playing you, this will make him rather more into you (heh).

CJ, you're right. Fuel usage, or more accurately the public's perceptions of such, had a lot to do with the T-Birds aircraft, hence the T-38, at least. Regarding power, though, I think the F-4 had a thrust to weight ratio of nearly or slightly better than 1:1. They'd climb almost straight up. With the burners lit, they were bingo fuel in about 30-40 minutes unless they left with two 370s and a center tank. Gas hogs deluxe!
Never met an F-4 pilot who didn't love them.

Israeli pilots used to come back with most of the wings shot off and lots of holes everywhere. Sometimes they didn't even notice.

I was told a story long ago that, upon Israel receiving the first F-4s,
they promptly added rear-view mirrors. Any truth to that?
The F-4C's' I worked on all had rear view mirrors. You couldn't see directly behind you otherwise.

Please to explain to the class?
CBD, fighter pilots always describe dogfights with their left hand representing the opponent and their right representing their own aircraft. Since each fighter pilot is the best who ever strapped one on, the opponent is always losing, hence on fire.

Some problems I had with me ex, that from discussing with other people aren't that uncommon...
1) Taking things out on me. Yes, your boss was a jerk to you today. And yes I will listen to you tell me about how big of a jerk he is. But when you start bawling me out because I forgot to do X or didn't do Y perfectly when you are really angry at your boss? That's not ok.
2) Ignoring my stories. Yes, I get that political issue X isn't all that interesting to you (and especially if you don't listen to me say why it should be), but if listening to what the other woman at work wore that made her look fat at work is worth talking about, I think you can make time to discuss "Fast and Furious" or the debt bomb. It might help if you actually know who is on the ballot in November before going in to cast your vote too.
3) Laziness. Yep, I get tired too, but those clothes on the floor aren't going to wash themselves. Maybe you could do something about it to? Because you certainly aren't going to fix the leaking pipe or the wireless internet connection...

This is an interesting one. Before I met my ex-wife I remember two other women I was dating. One, I am pretty sure. ended after a few dates because I was not fast enough in whipping out my wallet on every date, and another who ended it after a few dates because I did whip out my wallet first.
This part of dating sucks by the way. There are far more rules that men have to stick to...or else...that vary from woman to woman.
Being older and wiser though, I think the "I asked you out I'll pay" followed by roughly alternating works wonders with women I want to date.

If your guy is an introvert you need to get to the point quickly because he has zero patience for superfluous talk. And if there isn't a point then maybe there's no need to bring it up in the first place.
>>>>
As an introvert, I concur. Even a simple preface of, "there is no point, nothing that needs a solution in this story I'm about to tell you. I just need to get it out and share it with you," before launching into the War And Peace length recounting of her visit to the grocery store would have been a tremendous help.
The stories that start with, "our child XYZ had an event today ...," or "you won't believe what happened with the plumbing today ..." need to get to the point by the third sentence, else I'm gonna freak.

See, Thor prefers it quick and easy. And me being Southern on top of it, you know it takes me 20 minutes to ask him if he would mind stopping at the store on the way home.
But I struggle with seeming like I sound to bossy and abrupt when I keep things succinct, even after all these years.
He truly prefers "Honey, we need milk, butter and Cokes"
My natural way of asking would be, "Honey, I am SO sorry to bother you, but I really need milk. I mean, I don't really need-need it, but I was gonna make some gravy for the potatoes. And I mean we don't HAVE to have mashed potatoes, but even if we have them steamed or baked, we need butter. Or we could just have rice, but you don't like rice with steak. Or maybe we could just have bacon and eggs, but we'd still need butter for the toast."

It was our final field problem in IOBC, I think, where at the end we "Took the hill" in front of a grandstand full of VIP types. It was a combined arms exercise. As I stood dirty, hot and tired on the hill an F-4 came in low, nosed up and hit the afterburners. Hot gasses knocked me and a bunch of others to the ground. The announcer on the PA system in the stand asked if anyone wanted to transfer to the Air Force. A bunch of hand went up. That's how I remember it anyway.

If during their honeymoon he didn't want to leave the room, and she couldn't persuade him to spend the room-time in more fruitful pursuits, then she has a problem on her hands.
If he wanted to stay in and she wanted to go out and he made the point by saying something like "I'd rather watch a special on toilets rather than stand in the park and watch mimes and dancing monkeys" well, then I might just have to side with him on that one.
Context is everything,

And yes, lou, it's different when you're a girl. Totally, Yes, double standard.
It's also acceptable if mom is feeble or afraid to be on her own and you're the only kid available. But you better have a tidy savings acct if you're not paying her rent, not because money is important, but I need to know you are responsible with that money.

That's an easy one, your hook ups take care of your sexual needs. Your mom takes care of everything else, cooking, cleaning. A women you already know and trust who will never leave you. Girls you sleep with just fill your quota, no need for emotional connections that will fall apart. Pretty immature but that's the way it is.

Heh, as soon as i turned 13 my mom told me that my ass was out the door no matter what on my 18th birthday so i better keep my act together and she wasn't lying, booted my butt out the door on my 18th birthday but i had kept my act together (for the most part anyway) and had a job and an apartment.
I was about that age when I made the mistake of complaining about something in my laundry. From that day onward I did my own laundry. My mother also liked to leave $20 and a note on the counter that said "I have to work late. Fend For Yourself Night". Pizza gets old after a while, so I started to learn how to cook.

Sometime, check out the black version. Seriously. Well, it's not exactly a black Spinal Tap, but sort of in the same spirit. It's called Fear of a Black Hat. Lots of curse words, but hilarious and with a sharp intelligence behind it. It purports to be a documentary on a rap group done by a woman getting her sociology degree. Sample lyrics, from a song in which the group comes out with their hands cupping their nether regions:
People ask why I walk this way
protection first is all I say
I got it they want it
believe it, they'll steal it
Some of them punks just want to feel it
When they see me grip with both hands
it's a black thing they don't understand
It's true they want to take it all
so before they rip you ball for ball
Cup your hand and cover up
NWH say grab your stuff

Sorry to drop a comment, and then leave, but...
I thought I was tuning in to a recorded "Castle" tonight, but instead got this atrocious show "Scandal"! It is so blatantly leftist, with the cast uttering anti-Republican, anti-conservative crap. I looked this piece of sh*t up on IMDB to see who wrote/produced it. It's Shonda Rhimes. Her photo shows a heavy black woman with a scowl on her face.
I am on my way to bed, so I'll check back in the morning if anyone has any insight into who and what these people are. Geesh!

One thing to note in the original -- it's "sour on you", not "go completely mental." To a certain extent, it may be some sort of odd rewiring related to building a pair-bond, where a lot of subconscious associations with previous annoying partners are being connected with your relationship.....and dragging baggage with them.
So you get weird stuff like: "I dreamed that you took me to my High School prom and you were really rude." "Who'd you actually go to the prom with?" "John Doe, but he was a jerk." "We didn't meet until long after your prom." "Yeah, too bad.....you'd be the only guy I'd want to go with."
So you end up in the right place overall, but there was a day where you got some sideways looks....

Heh. My brother did that. His dream was to drive F-15s since he was a littl'un and he got to. He was crushed when the cutbacks in the 90s nixed that shortly after he got his ride. He went to A10s and, while not being able to accelerate upward until the sky got blue-er, he loved the closer-to-the-earth stuff. What an ugly-beautiful machine.

i was studying comparative religions, emphasis Mircea Eliade and Joseph Campbell, and was on FIRE about archetypes and various types of teaching stories, and well philosophical questions that belonged in class. Politics (This was the era of bill Clinton so there was plenty) and the arcane personal politics of the russian horse breeders involved with our association. My poor ex would drive home from work, KNOWING i had been saving it up all day long to discuss with him, never knowing quite what was going to be thrown at him, only knowing it would be complex and he would be expected to keep up, after a 2 hour commute.
i almost feel sorry for the poor bastard, and it did contribute to me not blaming him for his psychotic behaviour for a long long time.
I vowed never ever to do that to Grim. Not that hed care, or would answer me. its a completely different relationship. At least until he goes to University and takes the introductory coursework to keep up. We talk about other things.

New Record Sales were up near 30% last year (and something like 15% in 2010). That isn't including net sales or used records.
Vinyl is about the only profitable media left.

Not yet, its almost ready to come out, been working it little by little. Its going to be a little bit of a worm, because the glue joints were loose on the sides of the neck, and right under the heel in the back, and it had strings on it for years like that so it slightly warped the part of the tenon thats in the pickup route, because thats the only section that is holding. When you go to push the neck where it should be it wants to spring back. I'm about ready to put the steam needle to it.

---------
I remember the great ampersand famine of ought-twelve. Couldn't get one for love or money. It was all caused by an explosion in the hamster wheel grease factory in the suburbs of Sydney. We didn't realize at the time how well ampersands work as a substitute hamster wheel lubricant, nor did we realize the critical importance of smooth-running hamster wheels to the economies of the southern hemisphere.
Of course, it all came to a head when the North Koreans headed south to seize the ampersand farms that had been feeding the Asian keyboard manufacturers.
That's when shit got real, right there.
But try to tell that to the young 'uns these days, they won't believe you.

You could always re-set it as is and string it up on 13's for a bit and try and retrain it...that won't help if it's back bowing, though. You'd also have to use a temporary nut to do that. I've seen it work.

You had to see this 1970's marshal amp I had to piece back together for this dude. His girlfreind got pissed one night and beat it with a meat tenderizer hammer, the square wooden ones with the the little rows of spikes on the face. She broke all the tubes, beat the filter capacitor until it had the hammer imprint in them, then she threw it off the second floor balcony which broke all the corner finger joints in the box.
Her tombstone should have been right where the amp landed.

Can anyone who knows more than me explain a little about Scott Walker signing the rollback of a 2009 Wisconsin Act that expanded employee discrimination suits? The 2009 expansion gave employees new powers to sue in circuit courts and to collect punitive damages. The existing law (which now obtains once again) allows suits in federal courts and awards back pay, attorneys' fees, and reinstatement.
The rollback is considered better for employers.
That's all I know about it. Of course the libby idiots are screaming SCOTT WALKER LEGALIZES MURDER OF WOMEN IN THE STREETS, but I'd like to have a better grasp of the truth. (I'm already arguing at a dumb lefty website with some boring ol' facts provided by the Wisconsin Bar Journal, but those facts are pretty dry and don't give me much intuition about the law and its repeal.)
tnx and I hope you're not all drunk, or that you are, accordingly.

Oh yeah. I was trying my hardest not to laugh when the dude was showing me the amp. It was a 100 watter, so it had the group of 4 filter caps and the 1 single one by the power tranny. All of them had the hammer imprints in them, but she missed the 6th one by the choak tranny. The trannys themselves were almost ripped off the chassis, you can see the mounting feet were all stretched from the weight of the trannys. It was bad.

This was back when a 'portable' in-the-field, electronic news gathering (ENG) field setup consisted of both a Sony Trinitron camera *and* a U-Matic (think BIG videocassettes) recorder, connected by a rather large cable, both of which could be worn either by one or two persons. Total weight of all the equipment was probably about 30 pounds.

I'd say it's noticeable more 'urban' now. Still suburban, but a bit more cosmopolitan. I'm beyond shocked that our California Pizza Kitchen location is still open after this past recession. OTOH, I think we actually benefited overall a bit from the housing bubble. A significant number of higher-earning families and couples moved in, and lower-earning families who decided to go for the easy big-time house-selling cash moved out.

We had a cooking show with a Mr. Sachs called "Sachs In The Kitchen," a devotional show called "People of Victory," and a producer/performer named David Childress who IMHO could have become a successful regularly-working comedian at least, if not famous. He did three successive shows, "Neighborhood Movie Watch" (a spoof of Siskel and Ebert that reviewed actual movies), "Focus 52" (a comedy news show), and "Tube: Uncommon" (a Letterman-style talk show), all in the space of about seven years, and all of which were as funny if not more so than most of the sitcom fare you found on the networks back around the late 80s/early 90s.

There was a time when that was an approved term. It lead to the term Afro for big hair of the kind that grows straight out with a wiry strength allowing for a huge radius. 'Afram' was also in vogue for a while. You can see both terms used a lot in SF novels of the late 60s/early 70s era. Amerind was another one, for American Indians before Native American became the official label.
A now-balding acquaintance of mine in his 50s loves to show off the pictures of his epic Afro from his youth. He says it gave him a muscular neck but also made him constantly feel someone was sneaking up on him, as any head movement created a large dark mass in his peripheral vision. And the bed head was a huge problem in the morning.

It reminds me of years ago, when my family went camping in the Mt. Lassen area. Once, traveling through the area, my dad mentioned we were coming up on a town called Westwood. I had heard of the area in LA called that, so I figured it would be bustling as well. Was quite embarrassed to find that as far as one could tell from the road, and at least at that time, Westwood, CA consisted of a barely-still-operating gas station and nothing else.

Yeah, I was just having one of those "cognitive dissonance" things. I'm in the city of Los Altos as a near-50-year-old a couple of times a month, and it went crossways with living in the Los Altos neighborhood of the City of Long Beach in 1972 as a ten-year-old.
On the other hand, I was looking at the Google Maps satellite view of Minnie Gant Elementary, and its playground is still acres of blacktop hell punctuated by a little bit of greenery where I once spiked my knee on a sprinkler head and it's never been the same. You can even see the zigzag of the concrete drainage ditch that winds across the west side of the playground.....one of my classmates was taunting me one time, and I went out after him across the damned drainage ditch.....and ended up getting stitches in my chin without getting within 10 feet of him. Probably lucky for both of us -- I was small and fat, but had been taking Tae-Kwon-Do and was in a murderous state of mind.
Speaking of Tae-Kwon-Do....hey, there's the YMCA where I used to go! My parents pulled me out after I was thrown out of the meeting room through a plate-glass window -- looks like about where the raised roof is near the pool.

It could be worse. I went out to visit the BH's family stomping grounds one time.....they have a long stretch of beach nearby named "Long Beach"; a good sized, but shallow body of fresh water named, "Big Fresh Pond"; a pond that you can harvest scallops from called, "Scallop Pond"; a town nearby at the head of a river named "Riverhead" -- seriously, at first glance the place looks like an invented map for a fourth-grade reading text. But interspersed with these horribly literal names are places like Sagaponack, Quogue, Mattituck, Peconic, and Arshamonaque.

I've always joked that you can tell who was in charge of setting up your town: the architects and city fathers/mothers, or the developers and realtors. If it's the former, you get names like Long Beach, Huntington Beach, and Irvine. If it's the latter, you get names like Apple Valley, Porter Ranch, and Lakeview Terrace.

Actually, the ancestral stomping grounds were on the east end of Long Island, NY -- it's not really developers as such, more Indians/colonists/transportees/immigrants.....and THEN developers.
Speaking of developers, though.....did you know that "Lakewood" was originally a swamp? That's why it developed a bit later than surrounding areas -- they had to drain it first.

It won't change the elite coastal counties, 'cause they're the bluest of the blue; and it won't change the inland farming, industrial, working, mining counties -- 'cause they're already red. But it would help the reds survive the creeping death the blues are forcing on 'em.

I'm pretty sure I've desired the whole spectrum. I'm mostly not big on the 'hair color not found in nature' look but sometimes it works. The Moonbase girls in UFO. Elizabeth Winstead in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
Heck, even the cueball look can work sometimes, like Persis Khambatta in the first Trek movie, or Moondragon in the Marvel comics.

No, he painted the room ... I showed him a vine & leaf stencil that he agreed was not too fufu, so I get to decorate.
Tried out a light foam roller that looked OK-ish, so I am going to experiment with a dense foam roller.
After that do some experimenting with spray adhesive or elevated stencils and see what look we like - if any.
If nay, we might try pre-cut decals - sharper edges ... Airbrushing was suggested ... I'm just not sure I can color match as close to the baseboard as I want with a specialty paint.

Re Lakewood starting off as a drained swamp: could be true, but the story I've always heard (and as portrayed in an early 1960s documentary called "The Lakewood Story" that is on a continuous loop on the city government cable channel) is that Lakewood was almost entirely bean fields pre-1930.
There *was* (is) a lake in the middle of the country club, called Bouton Lake, nearby of which the first dwellings in the area were built and inhabited. But could it have been originally a swamp, and simply dressed up by the addition of the golf course around it? Possibly.

As you get older, you do experience more and more odd types of companionship. When my BH was seriously DCS'd in Hawaii, I got to help her down to the chamber every morning as an invalid, then try to grab dinner with her before the treatment faded each night. She got to deal with my apnea. It's just part of aging.

When I nail some tight young woman I never met before while dreaming, I always have this thought in the back of my mind I'm going to hate going to Confession, but that I'll have to, for committing a mortal sin.
12 years of Catholic school.
The A-7E Corsair II, most underappreciated, unattractive light attack jet ever. 1 pilot, one engine, 6 wing hard points, two Sidewinder rails on the fuselage, and a 20 mm cannon that made a most juicy wet fart noise when it strafed towed targets.
CVN-70, last ship to lose the Corsair for the effete F/A-18.

Last Thursday, Tyler Winstead was shot dead by an unknown assailant. According to this morning's Citizens Voice website, Winstead, "... an eighth-grade student at GAR Memorial Junior/Senior High School, was fatally shot in the chest outside his friend's home at 117 Hill St. in Wilkes-Barre on Thursday night. He had been walking home with the friend from playing basketball at the Catholic Youth Center."
Wilkes-Barre police have released few details and have made no arrests, leaving the parents frustrated, as most crimes of this type are usually solved in 22 to 44 minutes, depending on the run time of the TV series involved.
I can understand that the relatives of this teen, who by all accounts was a good kid on his way to becoming a fine young man, are upset and frustrated, but I think expectations are a little unrealistic here.
The truth is, most crimes around here seem to be solved because someone couldn't keep their mouth shut, and word got back to the police. I'm willing to bet a shiny quarter this case will be solved the same way.
Also, note that there has been no racist demagoguery worth noting. Mr. Winstead was black; the assailant is, statistically, most likely a black male. No nationally famous race-baiters have offered to come here.
Even at its worst, life is better outside the big cities.
