Oh and an update on last night's rankings - Doug Ross (no relation to Bob) says he used the wrong data and that Ace and company should have been #33. In light of this the kick murder squads have now been recalled.
He's been gone for 17 years but his memory lives on and episodes of The Joy of Painting are still in syndication. He was most famous for his wet-on-wet painting technique and crazy afro hairstyle. Longtime ONTers will also know what he did before he became a painting instructor.
I remember running across his show on PBS and being mesmerized by his voice and style even though I didn't paint. By all accounts he was a decent and gentle man and I think the YouTube commenter was right who said that "This man was a beautiful human being, the world is a darker place now that he's gone".
And he never took himself too seriously as you can see in this promo he did for MTV. The world could use more of his Happy Little Trees therapy.
His son, Steve, also paints and is a lot like his dad but also works in innuendos as well.
Five Men Agree To Stand Directly Under An Exploding Nuclear Bomb
And four of them were volunteers.
On July 19, 1957, five Air Force officers and one photographer stood together on a patch of ground about 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas. They'd marked the spot "Ground Zero. Population 5" on a hand-lettered sign hammered into the soft ground right next to them.
...This footage comes from our government's archives. It was shot by the U.S. Air Force (at the behest of Col. Arthur B. "Barney" Oldfield, public information officer for the Continental Air Defense Command in Colorado Springs) to demonstrate the relative safety of a low-grade nuclear exchange in the atmosphere. Two colonels, two majors and a fifth officer agreed to stand right below the blast. Only the cameraman, George Yoshitake, didn't volunteer.
Luckily for them the bomb was only a 2 Kiloton one and detonated 18,500 feet above them. And thanks to a recorder we can see and hear what they felt under the blast.
The Sexual Assault Victim Who Can't Legally Name Her Attackers
They pled guilty but because they're under 18 the judge issued a gag order prohibiting their 17-year-old victim from naming them.
A 17-year-old sexual assault victim is facing a jail sentence for tweeting the names of her attackers in anger at their light punishment.Savannah Dietrich named and shamed the boys on the social messaging site, writing: 'There you go, lock me up. I'm not protecting anyone that made my life a living Hell.'
The teenager told from Louisville, Kentucky told The Courier-Journal she was frustrated by what she feels is a lenient deal for her attackers.
...The contempt charge carries a possible sentence of 180 days in jail and a $500 fine.
The boys pleaded guilty on June 26 to first-degree sexual abuse and misdemeanor voyeurism. Miss Dietrich says she was unaware of a plea agreement until just before it was announced in court.
I understand the desire to protect juvenile offenders but on the other hand the victim of a crime should always be free to tell their own story. Personally I'd take the fine and jail time if necessary.
Harriet Tubman's Perfect Record: Brains and Opium on the Underground Railroad
Tubman ran up her unblemished record while leading groups of runaways on a 650-mile odyssey from eastern Maryland to St. Catharines, Ontario. Starting in 1850, Tubman made a total of 19 journeys, personally freeing more than 300 slaves.
And here's some of her tips on how she did it. Most of them would still be effective today.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS: Although there were thousands of slaves waiting to be freed, Tubman never bit off more than she could chew. Since large numbers would inevitably attract more attention, she usually conducted runaways in groups of 12 to 15-the most that could safely take cover in an out-of-the-way barn, cellar, or ditch.
DRUG THE KIDS: Since Tubman always tried to keep families together, her traveling parties often included small children who could slow the group down or, worse, give it away by crying at the wrong moment. To curb these problems, Tubman always carried paregoric, an opium tincture that could knock out tots for hours at a time.
Well according to a study your Twitter style may be signs of psychoness:
What are some of the Twitter stylings of these undesirables? Curse words. Angry responses to other people, including swearing and use of the word "hate." Using the word "we." Using periods. Using filler words such as "blah" and "I mean" and "um."
And to confirm their results they had people agree or disagree with a series of statements like this and then examined their tweets.
Psychopathy
- Payback needs to be quick and nasty.
- I like to pick on losers.
Narcissism
- I have been compared to famous people.
- I insist on getting the respect I deserve.
Machiavellianism
- You should wait for the right time to get back at people.
- Most people are suckers.
Well um blah blah you just made our list buddy.
Utah Man Uses Obituary To Get Some Things Off His Chest
Val Patterson died of cancer earlier this month at the age of 59 and in his obituary he decided to come clean on a few things:
Now that I have gone to my reward, I have confessions and things I should now say. As it turns out, I AM the guy who stole the safe from the Motor View Drive Inn back in June, 1971. I could have left that unsaid, but I wanted to get it off my chest. Also, I really am NOT a PhD. What happened was that the day I went to pay off my college student loan at the U of U, the girl working there put my receipt into the wrong stack, and two weeks later, a PhD diploma came in the mail. I didn't even graduate, I only had about 3 years of college credit. In fact, I never did even learn what the letters "PhD" even stood for. For all of the Electronic Engineers I have worked with, I'm sorry, but you have to admit my designs always worked very well, and were well engineered, and I always made you laugh at work. Now to that really mean Park Ranger; after all, it was me that rolled those rocks into your geyser and ruined it. I did notice a few years later that you did get Old Faithful working again. To Disneyland - you can now throw away that "Banned for Life" file you have on me, I'm not a problem anymore - and SeaWorld San Diego, too, if you read this.
Tampa Strip Club Hires Sarah Palin Lookalike For GOP Convention
Thee Doll House, on North West Shore Boulevard, doesn't have webcams but its dancers are also planning to cash in during the convention.Thee Doll House recently underwent a $1 million renovation and plans to bring in a Palin impersonator to entertain customers.
Neither club would predict how much money they would make during the convention but both expect business to more than quadruple.
Okay I guess I'm supposed to be OUTRAGED!! but really...eh. On the other hand is there even a single Democrat female politician that men would go pay money to see a nude lookalike of?
The Yahoo AoSHQ group. Bla bla bla.
And don't forget about the Job Bank.
And my twitter thang.
Tonight's post brought to you by Illinois Nazis:
I hate these guys.

Obama said he had kept his promise to uphold “America’s sacred trust with our veterans” including hiring thousands more claims processors at the VA.
“For the first time ever, we’ve made military families and veterans a top priority not just at DOD, not just at the VA, but across the government,” he said.
“Where we still have more to do, we will not rest,” Obama said. “That’s my vow to you. I’ve got your back. I’ve got your six.”

As for judges, I'm not all that thrilled with their act, either. Last time I was on jury duty, the judge lectured us that it was "not our job" to decide whether the law was fair, just to determine if the defendant violated it.
Screw that. The Constitution sets up the citizens as sovereign in this country. They get to be the ultimate arbiters of justice, not some politically appointed hack in a robe.
That's why we have jury trials in the first place. Otherwise, we would let the almighty judge decide, like in the United Fucking Kingdom.

They're a chain, and have been expanding hugely in the past year or two. They're closed on Sunday. They've always been pretty evangelically Christian. They donate to traditional family groups, which has caused the outrage brigade to accuse them of being anti-gay h8rs...weirdly, all in the past week or two, despite the fact that they've been this way for decades.

It was desegregation that caused white America to believe that the government had stopped "protecting" them, and so they needed guns.

Y-not, thanks for posting that, just so I could see that someone would put pen to paper in such a nasty way - That is so deliberately twistedly evilly wrong that I was actually a little shocked to see it in print...it's a perfect example of the Big Lie. White people have always had guns. In most states, they always will. Gun control and other restriction efforts came about after emancipation as a way to control newly-"freed" slaves by preventing them from the means of self-defense. Gun control was just one part of the Jim Crow society, and that's where it got its start. Firearms restrictions are always, 100% of the time, about preventing the weak from defending themselves against the strong, whomever the strong may be, e.g. government, oppressors, or favored criminals.

One approach to dog training avoids smacking the dog directly, especially for an offense well in the past. Smacking the object of the offense and declaring it bad has just as much psychological effect on the dog.
It's kind of like that.
It could be worse. They could have ordered that the stadium be torn down and the earth where it stood be salted so nothing would grow there.

I once watched a Berkeley cop fend off a bad guy who was trying to grab his gun. The cop just poked him with his baton. No strikes, no drawing of weapon or mace or anything. The cop knew that if he hit the guy he would lose his job.

I remember the one near Thousand Oaks. Though the mascot kid was very dark skinned he was dressed to indicate he was Indian rather than Africa. This made the tigers make more sense but went against the source material. My father had an edition from about 1920, possibly passed from an older cousin since he was the oldest kid in his family and not born until 1928. The artwork was the sort of thing that would send some people into a seething rage.

When I took my concealed carry class, the majority of the students were 1) African-American and 2) middle-aged. That's not terribly surprising, as St. Louis is a majority black city. Those good middle-aged people knew that they lived in dangerous neighborhoods, and took responsibility for protecting themselves and their property. I was inspired. It's racists like Marcotte who want to take away their (and my) right to protect our lives, liberty, and property. That's evil.

It's stories like that that help fuel my anger against those like Marcotte and her ilk. Every time they raise the barriers to gun ownership, they prevent those on the economic margins from being able to participate. They are actively disarming the (law-abiding) poorest and most in need of the tools of self-defense, then wave the bloody shirts and scream when the very people they've declared permanent governmental paternal status over are harmed. They are blind to the fact that they are in fact accessories to the crimes they claim to hate, refusing any admittance that they may have facilitated the violence as they perfect humanity.
/I'm not trying to make this a gun thread - that's just one of the things that pisses me off very personally. Not from experience, but because I believe everyone should have the ability to defend themselves when trouble comes knocking. It's absolutely despicable the way the left has taken the poor and shackled them into a life where they must choose between grinding poverty and defenselessness or a short life of aggression followed by early death or imprisonment. It's 2012, for God's sake. We should be better than that.

For readily-available stuff, you can't beat brownells.com or midwayusa.com. for the harder to find items, try Numrich at gunpartscorp.com - they're the ultimate online source. Gunbroker.com is also a good place to hunt.

The tip-off is when they suddenly change banks to one 10 states away for the payroll accounts. That's a very common ploy used to buy time and lengthen the amount of time it takes checks to clear.
When the bank switch happens, the end is very very near.

Update on the teenage girl who was in a car crash.
She was recently taken into emergency surgery to remove a portion of her skull. My guess is that this means that they haven't been able to get the swelling under control. Prayers are definitely appreciated. Her dad was a huge help to John when John was sick and I really want things to go well for them.

Thanks. She's a great kid. Apparently she was driving to a friends house, alone so at least no one else was hurt, hit the edge of the road and over-corrected. It's a common cause of accidents here because a lot of the roads have no shoulder and six-foot drop-offs on each side. Thankfully someone either saw what happened or came upon the accident quickly so they were able to get her help.

Well that makes sense. I mean if we were in a country that had freedom of speech then they probably couldn't do this, but here in America the Government can silence you for any reason they choose.

There was a time when the brown shirts used to have free regin and the locals said ...so?.. That was, until they fully understood the complete drift of what the Nazi's were all about.

The 'open' MRI deliver much lower resolution. They simply aren't effective for many common items doctors are looking for in a scan. Someday perhaps but not now.
I didn't know I had serious claustrophobia until I had to have an MRI. I was being treated for high blood pressure and the anxiety of being in the tube was going to make me stroke out, which would have made checking my renal artery for blockage a moot issue.
They offered to sedate me (Ativan) but then some bright person thought to mention that the same exam could be done by ultra-sound. They just don't like it because it takes about three hours but I was fine with that.

MRI's are a most loathsome form of diagnostics just based on the awful audio soundtracks one must endure to complete the study. AND I'M not talking about the crap music they pump thru your headphones...if you even get them!
The music from the MRI itself is the soundtrack from HELL!!

Ah, one of THOSE places. I don't know if they exist in your neck of the woods but back in the 70s JCA ran some good Jewish but apolitical camps. Outside of trying to perpetuate some of the culture there were no elements of indoctrination I can recall.
The camp for blind kids in the movie 'Mask' was a few miles away. I remember seeing Rocky Dennis but didn't learn his name until that movie many years later.
Looks like the Malibu camp is still going.

he wanted to go to a contender, no one offered anything other than the Yanks and what was offered was his current market worth. He's almost 40 with a skill set based on speed which is declining.
Frankly, he should have forced a trade a long time ago so he would have more than one maybe two runs in the postseason. He was too good to be stuck on a shitty team

World peace can't be done.

World peace can't be done.
Anarchy's a mess.
Things are gettin' hectic.
It's all gonna end.
You don't know what's waitin' up around the bend.
Open your eyes, perhaps you'll realize.
If AIDS don't get ya then the warheads will.
World peace can't be done!

Posted by: Robert at July 24, 2012 01:41 AM (4ixH5)
i think they liked him. they all behaved really well in front of him. Frankly i ended up having to work while he was here. a client brought a new horse in for an eval and drop off and then we ate lunch with him and Mero. Then i had to work mine. I think he was surprised when i stuck the hose running water in the socket of my one eyed stud's missing eye, and the horse liked it. we agreed it must itch, and the cool water feels soothing. My black mare showed off for him. It seems empty with my two favourites missing.
but uncle Horse is gone to a new family with kids to love him, and the Famous Ellie is at summer camp. Speaking of Panic Attacks, she had one today with the new trainer and bolted through a fence and hurt her leg mildly but scared this girl into realizing why *I* wasnt saddle breaking her myself. Frankly, let her risk life and limb working through Ellies mental issues. But she no longer thinks im a dummy and this is gonna be a cakewalk. She has an inkling i didnt lose my never when i broke my back, i am not a cripple, but this horse aint simple, and its on her for the next month to see what she can do with it, or shes gonna lose the client.

about the stud's eye: yeah my job can be gross. but this horse is awesome and one day i wanna get him a fake eye. hes so pretty he deserves it. Sigh... Got a winning Lotto ticket? Its for a good cause!
what was funniest was how the little hairless wonder took a shine to him. That was so cute. She crawled into his lap and decided Uncle Mero was Teh Bomb. she curled up in his lap and showed him her belly and purred and purred. You could see her smile up at him. if she was a girl shed have thrown him her panties. Funny little cat. she and Mo were fighting over him, and who uncle loved best.

The energy auditor told us that we have insufficient ventilation vents on the side of the attic.
No reason not to believe him as hot as the house stays, but you can't close or cover vent the way you can cover a whirlybird during the winter to prevent heat loss.
Not sure what to do.

Heat rises. The normal pattern of airflow in the attic is inward by the eaves and out from the top. The air will be coolest by the edges and hottest at the highest point. That's why having big vents near the top of each end with a little solar thing in the middle is very efficient in the summer -- the solar doesn't move much air, but it moves the hottest air out first. If you have 100% venting at the eaves, it won't do much unless the air has somewhere to go. I have considered putting a kill switch on the solar fan for the winter so that the attic isn't quite as much of a refrigerator, but it hasn't been that bad yet.

Have you viewed the Zero Punctuation review of Ep 2. That is good for a few minutes amusement.

So I saw Three Dog Night and forgot all about how good this band was and still is. The song 'Out In The Country' classic tune with cool harmony and guitar licks.
Now carry on.

OK so I got Three Dog Night cranked on my urban ears phones. Out in the country should have gone to number one on the charts.
You got vocal harmony with a cool wurlzbach organ, guitar licks and a pure energy in that song.

Well there was a lot of gun talk earlier and that'll sustain a conversation for quite some time.

Three Dog Night should have played the intro to "Out in the Country" for another 20 seconds to hold it open. Amateur producers back then.

I was on a traveling about a decade ago on a business trip somewhere in Europe--travelled a lot in those days -- and couldn't sleep in the wee hours of early morning and switched on the TV and there was Bob Ross-- speaking Turkish with subtitles.
He'll no dbout be on TV for another 50 years somewhere in the world.
