Saturday Night ONT [Ben]
— Open Blogger

Caterday!

Let's all sit back and enjoy some cat photographs. Shall we?

Early NASA Astronauts Couldn't Afford Life Insurance

So they found a neat way to raise money.

So about a month before they were set to go to the moon, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin were locked into a Plexiglas room together and got busy providing for their families the only way they could Â— they signed hundreds of autographs.
In what would become a common practice, the guys signed their names on envelopes emblazoned with various space-related images. The 'covers' would, of course, become intensely valuable should the trio perish on the mission. They're now often referred to as " Apollo Insurance Covers."

Eastwooding New Internet Meme

Now, Eastwooding has become a photo challenge. Similar to planking, Internet users are uploading photos of empty chairs with the hashtag #Eastwooding.

The Government Is Suing the Navy Seal Author
I think their goal is to prevent publication. I guess the book end up in the Washington D.C. vault that contains the Ark of the Covenant, the original copy of Lt. Col Anthony Shaffer's Operation Dark Heart, and the made for TV movie The Path to 9/11.

Last night, the Defense Department's top attorney wrote a letter to Bissonnette threatening to use "all remedies legally available" against him for the publication of No Easy Day, his firsthand account of the mission to kill bin Laden in Pakistan. "You are in material breach and violation of the nondisclosure agreements you signed," wrote Pentagon general counsel Jeh Charles Johnson. The letter hinted at a criminal prosecution of Bissonnete for disclosing classified information and threatened to seize the royalties from his book and go after his publisher Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Group.

Anothr Fan Dies Falling In A Stadium
I said last night that I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. I didn't realize it would happen the next day.

20-year-old man from Tennessee who plunged about 35 feet from the upper level of the Georgia Dome and struck another fan during the Tennessee-North Carolina State game has died, authorities said Saturday.
The man fell on another fan seated in the mezzanine area during the game Friday evening, The Georgia World Congress Center Authority, which operates the downtown football stadium, said in a statement.

The Feds End Criminal Probe of Sheriff Joe Arpaio

The federal government has closed a criminal probe of alleged financial misconduct by Arizona lawman Joe Arpaio, who styles himself as "America's toughest sheriff," and no charges will be filed, the U.S. Attorney's Office said on Friday.

They are still investigating him for civil rights violations.

Apprently Mitch Hedberg Is Dead
I just found out a few days ago. I was wondering to myself as to why I hadn't seen him on tv in a while. A quick google search shows he died seven years ago. I'm really behind the times.

I don't think he's a great comedian, but I did find him funny. I especially like his delivery. Below is a special he did for Comedy Central.

Check me out on Twitter.

11 They were talking about investigating the fan's death on the Clemson Auburn game earlier. I don't mean to sound harsh but short of putting an eight foot chain link fence across the upper level, you're going to have stupid people jump up and lean over the safety rail. And some of those people are going to fall.

40 My dad has owned dogs who kill cats before, but I just found out he has been known to shoot cats with the bb gun as well. I'm praying that, because he is 83 years old, they won't throw the book at him when he accidentally shoots a kid or something. Then again, my dad is a very good shot. Cats beware.

48 'sup jackwagons Reposting my comment from the SCOAMF Liar Who Lies post earlier this afternoon. Just got back from an Appleseed shoot an hour or so ago and I'm exhausted (frickin' awesome, by the way). Noticed something that actually makes me have hope for the future. The folks running this Appleseed were all in their 20s, I'd say none were over the age of 26. The range boss head honcho was probably barely 23-24. And a lady. This, in Santa Barbara, which is like Leningrad with palm trees. Some of the younger generation GET IT. Even in commie SoCal.

That it's made of sand and its base is washed away, makes it downright prophetic. Posted by: theCork at September 01, 2012 10:12 PM (TBQ4N) I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: `My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away".

54 You could flip a dead one up inside the office drop ceiling of some co-worker you want to fuck with. Normally, I'd go with a Red Snapper fish, but a dead cat should work as well.

If by day 3 they got a fan blowing out of the office, your work is done.

I can see the advantages of using a dead cat -- people will assume it crawled up there and died and the sabotage isn't as obvious. With the dead fish, the guy knows someone is fucking with him...which can be useful if you're looking to build paranoia.

58 We MUST vote this bitch out of office. The Wall Street Journal says President Obama "has fundamentally shifted his view of modern presidential power" and "is now convinced the most essential part of his job, given politically divided Washington, is rallying public opinion to his side. As a result, if he wins a second term, Mr. Obama plans to remain in campaign mode." "The president views a second term in some ways as a second chance, an opportunity to approach the office differently... He would like to tackle issues such as climate change, immigration, education and filibuster reform. He has told some aides that a sizable mistake at the start of his administration was his naivetÃ© in thinking he could work with Republicans on weighty issues."

91 For a long time, I didn't know cats love to fetch. But when they're done playing, they expect you to keep throwing things. It's kind of amusing. They will sit there and watch you and when you scream at them to fetch, they just tilt their heads and look at you weird. I don't have a cat anymore. I've been thinking about getting one at the shelter for a while.

I don't know what she expected him to do about it, but once I had established the "had nothing to do with it" to my satisfaction (heard it from both of them, so OK) he and I had a long talk about it.

He's kind of pissed off. Not that I blame him.

Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Canadian PM Paul Martin did 4 years with a minority government. How about Boris Yeltsin battling the old guard commies. Or Lech Walesa, and Pope JP2?

128 The Wall Street Journal says President Obama "has fundamentally shifted his view of modern presidential power" and "is now convinced the most essential part of his job, given politically divided Washington, is rallying public opinion to his side. As a result, if he wins a second term, Mr. Obama plans to remain in ~~campaign~~ Sukarno mode."

LOL. The guy who kept explaining that he didn't explain things well enough slaims that he's gong to do more explaining in a second, more flexible, term. Uh huh ... Sure ...

This ass needs to be removed from office, pronto. He won't allow an actual election to take place. You can tell by the way he blatantly lies at this point and by his past actions. He's as likely to declare the ~~Senate in session~~ election over in his favor as any of the other bullshit he spews without shame or restraint or crimes against the Constitution that he's proudly committed in full view of all.

Mark my words, hussein is going to light every single city on fire in a retreat that he will be forced to make, just like his namesake in Iraq who also enjoyed intentionally dumping tens of millions of barrels of oil into the gulf.

Although CA-99 is already pretty much at or near interstate standards. Not sure how much new construction would be needed. On the east coast I've seen proposals for a Raleigh to Norfolk interstate highway. I'm always surprised that there are more highways in eastern North Carolina. I-40 only fairly recently (a decade?) made it to Wilmington, but that the southeast corner of NC.

He was just the sympathetic ear, he listened to the problem and then advised her to talk to her dad, yeah he'll be pissed but he loves you and pretty soon he'll get over it and he'll help you out. Very mature of him, I'm proud of him.

Then he got off the phone and said FUCK THAT WHORE! and I had to be stern with him. Poor kid.

179 ~gun talk~ One of my new toys is a 9mm derringer. Good thing it's only a two-shot. Any more would get damned painful. Lots of bang in an itty-bitty gun. The other new toy is a .22 revolver.

181 As to why you're not seeing too many stickers. The campaigns haven't begun spending much money.

Just wait 2-3 weeks. Signs and bumper stickers will be everywhere.

Also, I have my .45ACP reloading dies, so...yeah...

For my regular guns, I'm a SIG gal. I recently lucked into a P228. I've had my P226 for years. I don't have dies for reload but my brother does. Not sure now if I need to get my own. Anything more than a 9mm tends to scoot me backwards unless I'm wearing tennis shoes. I'm regaining my gun-legs. It's been a while since I regularly went to the range. Two weekends in a row have helped. I won't disappear from the range for so long in the future.

Yeah, but if you recall those were mostly Obama stickers. Not Obama/Biden stickers.

That means they were leftover primary stickers. It's only after the convention that you'll see President/Vice President stickers.

Mine's a Heritage Sentry that I picked up for a steal at a Friends of the NRA silent auction. It's a decent gun and I was dead-on accurate with it from the first shot. That's a win in my book.

One thing that still irritates me about some gunnies out there is when they give out the "little woman" treatment. Pisses me off, actually. ANY reasonably healthy adult can learn to shoot any common handgun effectively, it only takes instruction in the proper technique and practice. Neither of which are gender exclusive. Alternately, the 1911 is universally thought of as a "man's gun". I can see where my hand goes on the gun when shooting, but I'll be damned if I can see where my testicles go on 'ole slabsides.

If all else fails, tell her she's selfish. It's just a dreadful fact that it works, especially if you don't have a strong family structure behind you, and no one ever told you that it's up to the guy to prove his worthiness for you, not to you to do anything to "win" him.

Posted by: irongrampa at September 01, 2012 10:49 PM (SAMxH)

I wouldn't key a car because it's kinda chickenshit..... but there's times when I'm greatly tempted. Like today I saw a pig parker taking up four spots at the mall.

259 See? I told ya's about SE Cupp.

Someone the other day wanted Cake Girl, Michelle Jenneke, and Cupp in a threesome. I told 'em they could take Cupp and I'd stick with the other two.

One reason I knew she was no account was how she went on the View (!) and played the victim card.

I mean, would Ann Coulter have done that?

I don't dislike her, but I've seen her talk, and I think she gets way more attention than she should because of how she looks. She's in no way as dumb as Meghan McCain--not at all--but her biggest asset upstairs isn't her brain.

When she "adopted" me, she ran away from a neighbor who wanted her to be an indoor cat. She had already learned to be an indoor/outdoor cat by then and wanted no part of being imprisoned.

Neighbor is cool with it. She got another cat that suits her.

Hey AOSers. Thought you all would enjoy this entry by my favorite gambling blogger, Poker Grump. It's not about poker-- instead it's a great piece on how a Las Vegas Dairy Queen manager's son used his gun (and good judgment) to take down a sword-wielding psycho in their store a few weeks back.

Plus the writer, Rakewell, even gets to take down an anti-gun British reader in the comments.

310 Last night, the Defense Department's top attorney wrote a letter to Bissonnette threatening to use "all remedies legally available" against him for the publication of No Easy Day, his firsthand account of the mission to kill bin Laden in Pakistan. "You are in material breach and violation of the nondisclosure agreements you signed," wrote Pentagon general counsel Jeh Charles Johnson. The letter hinted at a criminal prosecution of Bissonnete for disclosing classified information and threatened to seize the royalties from his book and go after his publisher Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Group. It's long past time to tell the government to go get fucked.

311 @267 Fair point. I have no idea if Phoenix-Vegas has enough traffic to warrant an interstate. I don't live there. The article I read claiming they are the largest neighboring metros without a direct connection in the US. As wasteful Fed spending goes at least with road spending we end with something useful at the end. When I've looked at cities not connected to the interstate, Texas and California seem to have the most/largest unconnected cities. Extending I-40 from Barstow to Bakersfield, CA seems smart.

329 151 I think think Phoenix to Vegas highway would be called I-11.

Another proposal is to convert CA-99 to I-9. Fresno is the largest city in the US without an interstate. Although CA-99 is already pretty much at or near interstate standards. Not sure how much new construction would be needed.

On the east coast I've seen proposals for a Raleigh to Norfolk interstate highway. I'm always surprised that there are more highways in eastern North Carolina. I-40 only fairly recently (a decade?) made it to Wilmington, but that the southeast corner of NC.

Posted by: Flatbush Joe at September 01, 2012 10:40 PM (ZPrif)

Good luck with that. The I-73 route has been kicked around for 20 years now. 20 years ago we all heard it would be ready about now, they still are studying it. I-73 would be Detroit to Charleston, SC. It would cut about an hour off the trip from Roanoke to Myrtle Beach, and from Roanoke to Cincinnatti, but the fookers can't get the studies finished and appease the enviros.

It was boy till I walked by another shop where I saw both Romney AND obongo tp.

She continued, saying she was opposed to the idea to have Eastwood address the RNC from the beginning. She said she thought it would be hypocritical to embrace a conservative celebrity, given that Republicans are often dismissive of celebrities who are vocally liberal.

Center-right celebrities are punished for political commentary - it directly impacts their ability to earn a living - for the duration of their careers. Risk vs. reward.

Â“This is what conservatives do Â– they get, sort of, distracted by the shiny new toy in any Hollywood celebrity that comes our way.Â”

The shine was off the Eastwood's apple 30 years ago - old white guy, remember? Clint was speaking to JFK democrats and moderate unionist pensioners.

379 I think there was likely some funny business about Obama's birth, but that he was born in Hawaii -- just either his grandpa or his mom was trying to hide something. I'm semi-convinced that Obama Sr was not actually his real father -- just an acceptable face to hide some family shame. I also think there's a decent chance Obama lied and claimed to be foreign born to help his odds in admissions. Which is one possible reason those records have been sealed so tight. It would be funny if he lied and claimed to be Kenyan even though Obama Sr wasn't his real dad. But Presidents are allowed to come from fucked up families. I'm pretty convinced he was born in America to an American, so .. end of story.

397 Part of the cat hate is the fairly large % of men who are really, deathly allergic. It's easy to really hate something that tries to kill you. Dog allergies seem, in my experience, much less severe. I'm allergic to dogs, too, but it's a runny nose, stuffy eyes, itchy throat. Annoying, but endurable. But the cats prevent me from breathing. Women seem much less allergic to cats than men. Not sure why. It's a really common story where a chick has cats but her guy is super allergic and that causes relationship problems. I've heard variations of it dozens of times. I'll stop hating cats when they stop trying to asphyxiate me.

432 @383, I'm certain Obama was born in Hawaii. Stanley and Obama Sr. were already pretty much on the outs by then, I think--she'd found out he was already married. He wasn't going to bring her home to mom to have the baby.

My theory on the suppression of the BC is that it may say that Obama is...white. African-American babies tend to be born light skinned. A nurse or administrator comes into a hospital room in Hawaii in 1962, sees a white mother cradling a baby, and writes what he or she thinks is right at the time.

It means exactly dick, but for someone as racially obsessed as Obama, it would be a source of great shame.

Old topic, but I think it's going to be a while before I watch Leno again. F*** 'im.

I keep finding electronic things burned out in the house. I wish I knew what hit us. I have a whole house surge suppressor, and it's pilot lights assure me everything is hunkydory, but every circuit board in the house is kaput. HVAC, ceiling fans, hot tub, all GFI units....everything.

The only thing I can figure is I took a lightning bolt on the pier and it backfed to the main panel, bypassing the whole house surge suppressors. That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it unless someone else has any better ideas.

454 I had the most interesting call the other day. I have been "drafted" by the Bd of Elections to be a poll watcher on 6 Nov. Well, they asked if I was willing. I asked, "Don't the, er, parties usually supply those?"

There was an embarrassed moment. "We just call from the voter registration rolls..." (There's been an awful scandal, you see, state intervening, bi-partisanship at its worst, and all). All right, I'll do it.

I will receive a whoppin' two hours of training (Whew, at least I don't have to memorize Art III with Blackstone's commentary again), and will have to go wherever in their damn county they need me to "fill in." There are parts of that county I make a point of avoiding.

I went upstairs and dusted off my dark blue Servant of The People suit, made plans for a shoe shine, and came back down just in time to hear that a judge had declared early voting for the whole population of the whole state. So all the fraud wil be over before election day, and I'm just going in as window dressing. Think I'll wear a wire.

So after spending a couple of nights sitting on my front porch, and *this close* to calling 911, I went to the doctor. He said I was allergic and I had to get rid of the kittens. I found another doctor instead. I'd sooner have had my lungs removed than give up those kittehs. The new doctor tried putting me on various medications, and eventually settled on Advair. Leo died in 2007, but I still have Kira. She's 12 years old now. I should do a commercial for Advair.

476 Ian S., "Tim" was probably my grandfather (my mom's father). He passed in 1986 at 79 years of age and was pretty much our family's default electric-and-general-maintenance guy. Believe it or not, not much work has been done (or even needed to be done) on our house until just the past few years.

He definitely had his own way of doing things. Wasn't up on codes either. A few years ago when we had our air conditioning system installed, we learned Gramps had vented the master bedroom's heater... through the underside of the house. (By my own recollection, he and my dad had installed it probably sometime around 1969-70.) Learned that's been a big-time no-no in California for a long time now, you have to vent everything upwards/through the roof.

More than likely you have a broken connection in the chain of outlets. Assuming, of course, that the circuit breaker has been checked and is found to be working properly.

Once you check the breaker/fusebox and rule this out as the problem, locate the last outlet that works.

SHUT OFF THE BREAKER for that leg. Remove the plate. Remove the outlet. Check the connections.

More than likely there is a broken lead. If, you can locate it, just strip the wire back and reconnect.

Replace oulet, replace cover, turn on breaker and check the 'dead' outlets.

503 Yo sven, I are suppicious, so I will be "sharing." Also, thinking of calling the teensy little GOP club that passes as a party HQ around here and just feeling them out for their take on what the hell's up.

Being politicos, their members of that board have been just as tantrum-prone as the dems, but if there is a reason why there is a sudden lack of volunteers I want to know it. You can do the local paper and talk-show all day here and never have an inkling of what's really playing out. For all I know, GOP is boycotting the process like Aung Suu Kyi. Except not as good-looking, and way better fed.

If it looks like the state/county officials want pawns in some secret powerplay, I might tell them I won't go if I can't carry. Might even say OC, if that's what it takes. That ought to shut the bastids up.

513 I had a sexual harassment issue at an old job as well. It didn't involve me directly, but it was damn funny. A sixty year old fatass who was fired because she had a horrible work habit came back a month later and claimed that an 18 year old guy grabbed her ass and hit on her.

I was hoping the owner of the company would take her to court but he ended up settling. He was kind of dumb anyway for hiring a woman to work the night shift with five guys.

519 SoS, aka Stuck on Stupid, works at an undisclosed large corp. He rightfully took offense at a kid wearing a Che Gueverra t-shirt and told him so. He was called to Human resources and urged to apologise and shut up. He stood his ground. The HR person was fired but the situation continued to escalate. He got full support by the company. His work area was vandalized, his car was vandalized. He had the assistance of a little security guard who ended getting beat up. His security guard had a little gal, a good bit younger than him, which to his surprise they turned out to be an item. Che boyquit, he ended up with a promotion and the perps of the damage to his car though caught got off light. There was no more drama after that but SoS would pop in pretty regularly with an opinion and Hummingbird would say hi occasionally. His saga unfolded over the course of a month or so and was the most interesting thing around here in ages. I waited for it like a Saturday morning serial. There were some doubters as to his veracity but he, to my knowledge, just sloughed them off. Sorry to lose the guy.

Regarding SoS I thought it was believable right up until it swerved into Penthouse Forum. IOW, I bought the job parts because I know how modern HR operates - it's where wymyn's stydys majors find employment. The part where he gets the girl never seemed right though.

528 I was a supermodel, but decided I would rather be someone that can eat food.

LOL Lou, Reminds me of a blog that I read a couple years ago called "The Hooters Girl." Written by a late 20s/early 30s, very entitled moonbat princess. Thee way she described how her and her waitress colleagues think of male Hooters customers... well, let's just say I don't care if I never go back.

Her attitude (besides that she and her friends were so pretty, smart and politically correct, they could never be wrong about anything ever) was that if you're not wealthy enough to leave a $100 tip for a $4 PBR and a small plate of wings, they don't ever want to see you eating at their restaurant again. And when you *are*caught there again, don't be surprised if you get some "extra sauce" with your meal.

Anyway, not long before the blog was abandoned, this Hooters waitress claimed her previous job was, in fact, as a professional, world-traveling fashion model, and that she was earning easily six figures a year posing for world-famous covers worldwide. So why was she slinging greasy wings? Well, she started having these mysterious tummyaches before photo shoots, and other weird excuses.

The more she went on in blog entries recounting this "history" of hers, the more obvious it became that she was either only telling about 30% of the story, or that everything was BS to begin with.

She played the sexual harassment card, but I was nicknamed "IronMoose" for a reason....

541 Sven, the reason I was hoping he would take her to court is because we had multiple witnesses to the incident of "harassment". We had to run injection molding machines but we also had to do some assembly of the products we were manufacturing and when we did assembly it was in close quarters.

The guy she accused of harassment was walking by her and had to squeeze between her and the wall. He rubbed up against her, barely, butt to butt and she said "Don't touch my butt" and laughed about it. The fact that she got a $15,000.00 check for that "harassment" still ticks me off.

Stand up to the weasels.

Not let them just blather on, unchallenged.

SoS's story started about that time.

He finally stood up to a clique of liberal weasels at work....that he had been putting up with.

Che-boy was the ring leader of that little clique of bullies.

That was SoS's way of 'being Breitbart' in his own way.

It seemed like he was just reporting on that here...as a tribute to Breitbart.

Then.....a lot of us kept asking him about what was happening as a result of him doing that.

That's how the story developed.

I thought it was believable.

I didn't know that he'd stopped commenting....but I noticed he wasn't around anymore.

575 garrett -- working with one hand -- that's a real electrician's joke. Most people won't get it. And you have to keep the other one in your pocket!

While I was building my place, I used to joke around with a couple of my employees at the other job, guys who I knew had done some construction wiring, about the kind of stuff you get into. The standing comeback for any work-around accomplishment was "Yeah but a real electrician would've done that on a live box."

So, couple years go by, and I inherit my uncle's big commercial garage building with an apartment above it. On this one, I don't know who did the original work, so I more or less sweet-talked a state employed, actual real union electrician to come in on a side job, put in a new breaker box, investigate, and rewire the classic but unprovenanced fluoro fixtures.

It went OK, and as we were finishing up, smokin and jokin, I told thim the one about amateurs and the live box. He was leaning against a big A/C airhandler with an open box on it, and toying with a screwdriver. "Ya know," he says, casually backhanding the blade into the swarm of connectors and throwing sparks all the hell over, "I always like to leave 'em on. I think it's safer, really." But he only used one hand, see.

That would have to be a "Dreams from my Father" level of deceit in autobiography, and to what end? There sure was no secondary gain initial, so he would (again) have to have severe psych issues, in my opinion, to not have at least some basis in reality. Posted by: Conservative Crank at September 02, 2012 12:52 AM (1zwZo) Well I only pop in now and again, but every time he or Hummingbird was on someone was always piping up about it all being a lie.

@582, sven

I think you would've liked SoS, sven.

You two see eye to eye on a lot of things.

It wasn't like he was offering up his story as some sort of self-aggrandizing tale.....or at least it didn't seem that way to me.

People here were pestering him for updates.

So he gave them.

Some have said that his writing was...perfect.

Not really.

It was sort of how you would tell the events of a day...like a diary.

There were some flaws.

It didn't read like a story arc.

Anyways, I think he's a good guy....and I don't have any reason to think that it was all made up.

606 Every home is supplied with +, -, and 0 with reference to 110VAC. If you want a 110V socket, it can be + and 0, or - and 0. If you want a 220VAC socket, it has to be + and -.

In general, half your outlets are +/0 and half are -/0, because this balances the load on your supply wires......but this makes it very easy to get confused and wire something +/- by accident. Or share the 0 between +/0 and -/0 devices

620 629 Topper,

Ty. My life is strange but it's mine. I lost that job or rather left to follow the wife to El Paso/Ft Bliss.

I'd have been thrilled to have a more normal life, then again maybe not. My time in the military blew up in my face and I've been a failure or lost or sucked at most everything I've ever done. Like I said if this was a fantasy I am pretty sure there'd be a lot more NC-17 scenes and I'd be a lot better off financially.

I have a mortgage I probably am underwater by 10% of value on, a bad hip, developing arthritis, a 12 year old who has parts of 3 accents, and a wife who may or may not have her e-7 job in a year.

On the bright side, I've got hope for the first time in 4 years, and I may follow in dad's footsteps and drive if she loses her Army career and let her relax for a bit.

I also have here.

I've always let my hair down here most, but I also liked the bigger stage once upon a time.

It's a sign of the seriousness of the anxiety on the right that Ed is a lot more lenient at HotAir.

While *nobody knows* who's who behind online IDs, I didn't realize there was any real question (or care) about the authenticity of it. I've been doing online intercom since BBS and CompuServe, and it all rang true enough for me, but I pretty much accept people as what they say they are unless I have a good reason to believe otherwise. It was a good tale, with plenty of human interest, and I wondered what happened to 'em. I hope my jokes didn't contribute to making SoS or Hummingbird (real or not -- grin) feel unwelcome.

634 Hey DAve, you're off-duty, so no need to answer this, but I'm curious (no, not her!).

I have a 60-year-old house I bought 2 years ago. It had a minor electrical problem last year that ended up being easily fixed by the electrician, but it took a long time to find.

Anyway, none of the outlets are grounded except in the kitchen and bathroom (which the electrician said wasn't a huge deal as long as you knew it). However, when he had the outlet covers off, the wiring looked old and sketchy (although not knob and tube), and the electrician found four hidden junction boxes above the ceiling in the basement bathroom. As a matter of curiosity, I asked him how much to rewire a house, and he said $20k.

Would that ever be a good idea, or should one just handle it room by room? I'm definitely going to have the junction box situation fixed as soon as I can afford it.

I appreciate it. Ace and I go a ways back and I am not claiming we're best buds or anything but he knows me. It is pretty clear to me inasmuch as i am anything other than "just a poster" to the crew here I am looked at as a mix bag.

The thing is anytime I am warned I am near the line I either straighten up or leave, and I respect the crew a lot.

I "found" the place back when I helped out on some ww2 kit data for a gaming company and the links led here.

We're a good group and I am glad to know you guys inasmuch as we can know each other sans moron meet-ups.

Our Training department uses a lot of computer based training. One of our trainers gave me grief for clicking through a 50 slide powerpoint presentation at my desk in 7 minutes. (I had actually went through it a second time to find a referenced document, after spending a good hour reading it the first time. honest!)

But I learned that they could track how long we took, so after that, a lot of my training time included head breaks, lunch and other activities. I assume eventually someone will use the data, and I was going to look like a really, really studious learner.

The bad part is we have idiots in our management who can use the reports to see who has not completed a training class. They set expectations like the entire division will finish their training two weeks before the deadline, and then forget to tell us until 2-1/2 weeks before it is due.

Where's Mike? He's on vacation, back on Monday. Quick, call him and have him log in from Mexico and finish this lesson plan! He needs to do it before VP HIMFIC runs the training report!!!

Wiring = drywall.

There is no "rocket science" about doing wiring from scratch -- it's very straightforward, nearly foolproof, there are books out there, etc. The problem is sneaking around in existing walls -- but if you peel back the drywall, that problem goes away.

Unless you live in a mansion, I can't believe that rewiring the place will approach $20K. We added grounds to every room, GFIs where appropriate, and ran Cat5 and cable everywhere in 1987 for about $4K.

When you say there is no "rocket science" it must be because among jobs I "sucked at" I never did get the hang of wiring or stuffing juncture boxes.

You weren't taught right.

I've got 3-way and 4-way switches, multiple light circuits that trigger fans, GFIs, subpanels, and other weirdisms -- but all the wiring is easily understood.

The thing about wiring is that there are two kinds -- one kind is like a 2nd grade experiment with light bulbs and wires, and the other kind has results similar to red shirts on hostile planets in the original Star Trek. The trick is to know one from the other.

the Sacramento Crash that shut down my old airline.

That was why i told the girl go to the break room.

The way that we secure cargo was either in Utility Loading Devices which look like fiberglass huts, or on flat pallets we had to secure.

Initially it was suspected that the Sacramento crash was caused by improper securing of the cargo pallets and a shift of a Komatsu drive shaft that made the plane fall, but the NTSB investigation determined the more probable cause was poor maintaining of the avionics and control electronics/hydraulics suite.

NTSB report

Anyway temps never tied the nets taut enough without oversight and Emery had a bad rep for net looseness, I was in Texas with another airline when this accident happened but I was scared witless that one of the guys who was working in the 9h cargo handler job that got me my start had screwed up.

Just a little useless FYI if anyone is fascinated by "how air cargo works"

I was fortunate enough to see a shutdown of Alice at Disneyland from the front row. They have a locking thingie that they clamp on the "go switch" that looks like a set of brass knuckles -- it clamps on and has several eyelets around the outside. Everyone who comes to the ride swaps an ID for a key and a lock, locks one of the eyelets around the thingie, and takes the key with them into the ride. It was physical, foolproof, solid, and well-practiced -- a thing of beauty in it's own right.

Posted by: Richard at September 01, 2012 10:20 PM (wlisC)

742 Anyway, none of the outlets are grounded except in the kitchen and bathroom

If you want 3-prong receptacles on the ungrounded circuits, you can get that by GFCI protecting those circuits. If they're GFCI protected, the electric code allows you to replace protected 2-prong receptacles with 3-prong.

All GFCI's come with a batch of stickers you'd put on the ungrounded 3-prong that would say "GFCI protected" and "no equipment ground".

It can get tricky when there's old cloth/rubber insulated wire where the color on the cloth wrap is faded/gone. Then you gotta do some testing to figure out which wire is the neutral(normally white), and which is hot(normally red or black). That's not usually a problem with the newer plastic insulation.

What kind of cabling system is in this house? Sometimes there is in fact a ground even when there's not a green or bare copper wire. If its armored cable (people call it BX, but the electric code calls it AC) and there's a thin aluminum bonding wire between the jute paper wire wraps and the spiral armor, then that cable would use the armor as a ground. That system works fine when all the box connectors are tight. If they get loose, the ground can vanish. I like a connector called the AMC-50 when using AC cable -- it won't get lose, ever. Not cheap, but very good.

If no bond wire, then the cable armor is NOT suitable for ground. This is older really bad shit. Its much worse safety wise than 2-wire old Romex or knob and tube. If there's a line to box/armor fault that goes all the way back to the panel, and the cable run is long enough, the fuse/breaker won't pop because there's too much resistance from the armor coils and the armor starts to act like a light bulb filament and gets hot...very hot...red hot...burn a place down kinda hot. This is what that aluminum bonding strip prevents.

The good news is...that burn your house down scenario is easy to prevent -- just GFCI protect those circuits at/near the panel. The GFCI will pop when over 5ma of current is leaking down the armor. 5ma ain't enough to torch the armor.

760 I have installed lighting and wired in garbage disposals. And a garage door.
That is it for me.
My house was built in 1939 and had fuses. I had a circuit breaker put in and got rid of the knob and tube. It was worth it.

While the drywall was out, I also put in modern insulation. The old stuff was newspapers from 1939. Incredible.

OK sorry i went to In-n-Out. This is all based on NEC & CA. rules:

First, there are so many union and other pro electricians who have been out of work for a year it's really a buyer's market. If you have any doubts playing with electricity is like playing auto mechanic. Don't-

On an old house change out all of your 2-wire receptacles to gfci- protected 3-holers. Up to six regular 3-holers can be run downstream of a GFCI receptacle and still be GFCI protected. DO IT!!! No seperate ground is required, so it's a CHEAP and great improvement. If nothing else at least the bathrooms, kitchens and other wet locations.

60 year-old house means plaster to me. wire can be fished through the walls unsupported- i agree $20K is WAY too high but if you got 3 estimates from legit guys out of the Pennysaver you'd get an idea of the going rate in these tough times. That guy didn't want the job. make the electrician explain to you the parts he's choosing and his prices. Don't go with the cheapest or amateurs 'cuz this stuff is deadly. If your area is anything like mine half the pro electricians are out of work.

Really you might as well run CAT5 and/or phone jacks while he's up in the attic or under the house

I strongly suggest barter in these times.

And thanks to everyone for all the great electrical/related tips and help. As I mentioned, gonna bookmark and save the info on this page for future reference. The strongest vibe I'm getting is to hire someone who knows what they're doing, which I'm agreeable to.

On a related note I recently learned (while helping type an earnings call for an electric parts wholesaler; I help type quarterly meetings on a part-time basis as a work-at-home job) about how it's illegal for homebuilders today to use aluminum wiring in residential homes, because of sparking issues. Answred the question I had for awhile about why copper still gets used, when so many thieves are just waiting for any structure out there to be abandoned for a week so they can strip/steal it.

Harris-Perry loses house

on to the nucleus of her Moonbattery

Â“What is riskier than living poor in America?Â” Harris-Perry demanded. Â“Seriously! What in the world is riskier than being a poor person in America? I live in a neighborhood where people are shot on my street corner. I live in a neighborhood where people have to figure out how to get their kid into school because maybe it will be a good school and maybe it wonÂ’t. I am sick of the idea that being wealthy is risky. No. There is a huge safety net that whenever you fail will catch you and catch you and catch you. Being poor is what is risky. We have to create a safety net for poor people. And when we wonÂ’t, because they happen to look different from us, it is the pervasive ugliness.Â”

Darling what is "riskier than being poor in America" is the fact you are theoretically a Poli Sci prof at a university who has convinced herself that she understands ANYTHING. If you are filling the kids of Tulane with your vapid sense of entitled rage on behalf of a poverty you live near but do not know you are aiding in the destruction of the Republic. It will be a pleasure to see you detonate and lose your job next year.

790 pullin that bitch bundle through the rigid no less.

If the place was piped in galvanized rigid, you already had a ground -- the pipe itself. Galvanized rigid makes a fine ground when all the locknuts and couplings are tight. You only needed to pull a black/white. I think the Empire State building was piped in galvanized rigid.

When the pipe is used as a ground, the electric code does however REQUIRE a ground wire from a receptacle to the box. It doesn't want you to trust the receptacle mounting screws to provide a gnd path. The only exception would be surface mount with self grounding receptacles.

Wire that starts and ends within a box, like that mandatory gnd wire to box, does NOT count towards box fill, so you'll never get dinged on a fill violation by putting one in.

813 Berserker/Arbalest: I could very well be wrong but the strong impression I got from typing that call a few days ago is that aluminum is still considered okay to use in commercial building wiring. Maybe because they have to use metal framing, I don't know. Plus of course, the rules could vary wildly from state to state or nation to nation. Many of the earnings calls I work on involve companies that perform their work internationally.

The speaker was talking about gauge however, and the ratio of how much aluminum to use vs. if you were using copper.

Posted by: qdpsteve at September 01, 2012 11:05 PM (7B7jB)

814 Dangerous and low-performance. Almost twice the resistance of copper

That's why you use larger gauge Al vs copper -- to reduce the resistance. I use Al for panel/panel feeders a lot due to cost. The only dangerous thing about it is the idiots who don't know how to terminate/torque it properly with anti-ox prep.

I've got a 100A subpanel feed planned for this winter that'll serve the kitchen area and an electric stove. That feeder is going to be Aluminum, but its going to be 1-0 Aluminum.

If someone claims to be an electrician and they don't have a torque wrench, send them away.

That old Al that was put in residential places back in the 60's and 70's, that's a different story, but it wasn't the cable's fault - it was the devices it was connected to, poor installations that didnt' use the anti-ox goop, and wire nuts that didn't work well long term with Aluminum. The cable itself was fine, it was all the other shit surrounding it that failed.

824 what leftists always miss is that the atoms called opportunity, willingness and ability are just atoms that are of no (or very little) benefit on their own. these atoms combine to form the single most important molecule in our entire existence. each atom has a name and properties of their own, but only the molecule formed by the combination of the atoms matters. and like all molecules, the lack of any one of the atoms keeps the entire molecule from forming. just like multiplying by zero, if any of the atoms is not present the other two amount to nothing.

further, the OWA molecule is most helpful when other humans are around as well. when the molecules are present among multiple humans, they tend to form a system somewhat similar to H+ and OH- where trading occurs. that is, my willingness matches up with your opportunity and your willingness becomes my opportunity.

In short, whenever someone becomes unwilling, other people lose opportunities.

stupid leftists, will you ever get a fucking clue? -- every time you pull your shit you make people unwilling. once they are unwilling, the people you claim to care about lose opportunities. you are fucking up your own people because you are assholes. stop it, already.

You don't use paralleled conductors until you get into the heavy amp shit like 400A+ services. One condo in WPB I setup the gear room on some years ago had like 5 or 6 paralleled 500 or 600mcm in their own pipes on each phase coming in. That was a 2,000A service.

The smaller shit they don't even make anymore AFIK. You can get aluminum 4-wire SE cable down to about #6 and I've used that occasionally on 40A stove circuits where its a straight shot from panel to receptacle. Still gotta anti-ox prep/torque and make sure the stove receptacle and breaker is UL listed for use with Aluminum wire.

Harris-Perry wishes the US Happy Birthday

Â“Independence Day is more aspirational than actual,Â” she began her monologue. Â“We have longed defined the American Dream with commodities, a home of ones own, better education for the kids, family vacation and a car to the vacation in. And if we measure the dream by acquisitions, weÂ’re in trouble. National unemployment remains above 8 percent. Wages have dropped, and the median net worth of American families plummeted by almost 40 percent.Â”

Yes sweetheart you are correct, damn that evil BUSH oh wait....

834 You also need to check local code amendments before using Aluminum. Palm Beach county, for example, has several of them. No aluminum cable assemblys under 100A (ex Romex/SE/UF), and they won't allow aluminum in the structure grounding system outside.

The 100A thing doesn't seem to make any sense to me, but the Al outside does with all the salt air near the beach

My dad had me help him put a service on a warehouse he bought back in the late 60's. We used Aluminum from meter to the panel and meter to the weather head. Last time I drove by that warehouse a few years ago, the service we installed was still there and in use.

Most POCO's use Aluminum for the laterals off the transformers to meters. That shit's not getting replaced all the time.

Success with it IMO is *completely* dependent on the quality of installation. Duffers or people unfamiliar with it will fuck it up. A pro who knows how to deal with it won't.

Maybe since government spending is the source of class mobility and the purchasing power of the poor is "what builds that" we should hire everyone at 85,000 a year to dig holes and refill them for a living.

910 Well, one more LAN/Phone/CATV cable set drop and I'll be done with pulling LV cable through this crib. Each bedroom has a minimum of two LAN/Phone/CATV hookup points, and the living room is gonna have 5 spread around. I want to be able to plunk a fax or lan printer anywhere in this joint.

Phone by the garage entry, and another in the master bathroom. Seriously, who wants to get off the throne to answer the phone? Now I got a phone jack right by the throne. Hell, I may even put one in the attic. Walmart has these cheap Uniden corded phones for about $6.

911 Somejoe, Pasteur's inference is that a prepared mind does not suffer accidents in the context of our line of query. The thing is Pasteur was offering it in the face of an assertion that he had simply gotten lucky in being the one to deduce microbiotic theory. That is why I was mystified, not a lack of simple rudimentary grammaric or composition prowess.

If one has a prepared mind WRT not leaving a motor on to run over one's head then oddly one is not needing "luck".

Anyway I'm looking for kindling and a sledge hammer....
see you soon.

913 Shit...I've pulled about 1500' of LV cable into this joint in the last few weeks.

I started with 500' each of RG-6, Cat 5(for the phone), and Cat 6(LAN) and those coils are about gone. WTF??

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

LG Electronics is pissing me off. They sent out a firmware update for my Blu-ray burner that introduced new problem where it had been flawless before. Produced my first coaster on BD-ROM media. I can't leave the box checked for 'close session' to make a disc permanent because it never finishes. Hopefully the recipient for these won't accidentally overwrite them.

Went to the LG support site and there is no listing for the model I have, only older models. This thing has been out at least 8 months. What are they waiting for? I want to see if I can revert tot he previous firmware that had no bugs for my purposes.

Sitting at my desk while others in the house devour the relentless Obama-sucking on the Toady show and their quota of commercials from Lieawatha Warren.

Should be a nice day here, but I can't get away from the fear that the Flat-Line 52% will give us another four years with the Choomer-in-Chief.

971 So, the DNC starts in little over 48 hours. And judging by the articles at RCP, and a short cruise around the blogisphere, Clint and the empty chair are still the topics on many peoples minds.
I don't care what someones political leanings are, but when an ad campaign can get your competitor to keep talking on their own dime about your message, by any measurable means, that is an incredible ad campaign. And that seems to be what Clint has done.

At this point, the Dem's are about down to "We had a convention too!".

Yup. All they have left on their side is the media, the power to set rules and issue orders, our tax money (plus a shitload of third-world borrowed money) and a large number of brain-dead fools who can't imagine life without President Historic FirstÂ©.

976 All they have left on their side is the media, the power to set rules and issue orders (and) our tax money ... (u)nderestimate their chances at your peril. That's exactly right. The Dems' willingness to use our tax money to just buy the votes of half the electorate regardless of the debt it causes is highly problematic for our side. It's easy to see how young people who have not yet formed a solid work ethic would conclude that it's crazy to go work 40 hours a week drawing a subsistence level check from a mall store or a restaurant when instead they can just sit on their asses and draw a subsistence level check from the government.

I never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
But, I am seeing some sign of a change in sea state.

I talk to a lot of people throughout the day.
And right now, the libs that I know are not happy.
And I seem to be running into more and more previously unidentified conservatives every day.
And that's in the Peoples Republic of Baltimore.

My father lives in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, and tells me that the yard signs that were everywhere at this point four years ago, just aren't there.

We could still lose this thing, for just the reasons that you sited.
But, I am optimistic about this.
