A conspiracy of beer, brauten, buses, and busyness has brought the ONT to this lowly state. I blame society and the French.
Redskins - The New Gay Marriage
How an issue no one even talked about suddenly became the new PC litmus test.
I checked our archives to see when our own blogging about the anti-”Redskins” movement began. Could be that this subject, which has been percolating for ages, reached full boil on the left a long time ago, but if it did, we missed it. The first notice we took of it was Erika’s post in March about a small group of congressional Democrats trying to do something legislatively about it. (They’re still trying, by the way.) A few weeks later there was something about the D.C. City Council wanting to do something about it. Then Redskins owner Dan Snyder made his big blunder: He told USA Today, “We’ll never change the name. It’s that simple. NEVER — you can use caps.” That was him essentially daring the left to try to force him by engineering new “enlightened” ground rules on “Redskins” usage for the media and political class. A few months later, “Slate” dropped the word; Rachel Maddow followed suit and then, inevitably, Obama was asked about it and tepidly endorsed changing the name. And so now, with record speed, here’s O’D in the highest self-righteous dudgeon towards people who hold a position that virtually no one gave a wet fart about six months ago. To me, that’s the worst part of the whole anti-Redskins phenomenon. It’s not opposing the term itself that’s annoying; that’s defensible. It’s not even getting indignant with people who don’t see a problem with using it. It’s the sanctimony coupled with the faddishness of the whole thing. How dare Dan Snyder disagree with something that the left didn’t care about five minutes ago? How dare he?

--How many sports writers who had been covering the game for decades gave nary a pebble-shit until this season, when they collective developed the vapors over Redskins. The only one I respect in this regard is TMQ, who has always been put off by the name; he has at least been consistent.
I'll admit that I don't watch football or read many sportswriters, but I do recall seeing occasional articles in the past poo-pooing the name. Like I said, they may have cared, but not enough to do anything until now.

If someone asked me to explain the concept of "postpunk" in one song, this would be that song. Pure gloriousness. Light upon the waters. And the last minute of the song -- when the organ finally enters -- redefines the chord progression like a biblical revelation.
I'd appreciate it if anyone gave this a shot. Lead singer sounds a lot like Bono, but don't let that throw you off.

This'll really blow your mind: there's more evidence that Muhammad set foot in Jerusalem than that he set foot in Mecca.
The Temple is sort-of alluded-to in sura 17, where it talks about the "mosque of the children of Israel". But you're right, given the Qur'an's emphasis on Moses, it would appear that Islam was setting up Muhammad as the new Moses - as someone who would not himself enter the promised land.
Mecca on the other hand is named in one sura - 48 - which Yehuda Nevo debunked as a forgery, based upon the reformed coinage of the Umayyads of AD 696+. It's probably also alluded to in suras 14 and 22.
But where are the non-Muslim records of Mecca prior to the 680s AD? I've looked for over 10 years and I haven't found anything. Instead I find references to caliphs like Muawiya who won't even approach Madina.

"Utes" is a team name that probably flies under the radar. Until you pointed out that it was also a tribe name, I'd have never caught it. "Redskins" is easy to get exercised about, and as has been pointed out, easy is holy these days.

Pretty good writing. Damn good acting
I really can't imagine how they knew Cranston could pull this off so well. I saw him on the insufferable "That 70's Show," and if I were a Hollywood type, I wouldn't hire any of those people (Mila Kunis excepted for looks) to polish my shoes. And yet he is absolutely perfect for the role.

Dish Network has something called the Pivot channel, which mostly shows old SciFi, e.g. Farscape, etc. Ironically enough, something the SyFy channel doesn't do anymore. But I digress.
They stopped showing sci fi long enough to put something on called Raising McCain. Curiosity got the better of me and I took a peek, Well, there goes forty IQ points that leaked out that I'll never get back. Megan is every bit as vapid and irritating as all the really conservative pundits said. And she surrounded herself with a discussion "panel" only marginally less retarded than herself.

Best traceroute ever. That's a lot of public IPs for a gag, but probably worth it for promotion effect. Arin sez Epik Networks in Toronto.
Yes those DNS names have to be registered for reverse lookup, and wouldn't have been possible without the expansion of the domains, but there do have to be interfaces to respond to those ttl expiring packets. My guess is they used virtual routers in GNS3 or an old routing switch with lots of cables wrapped around.
Ok read dudes blog, was 4 little routers with virtualized tables (VRFs). Apparently he got DDoSed after this got out. I guess this has been around since at least February. Beagle networks dude is consultant to Epik and they him a Class C to play with ...

Until my current clothes start wearing out and falling apart, and then I have no choice.
Which has been the case for some time now.
So last week I spent $450 at L.L. Bean, and tonight I dropped another $475. I got some 20% off items, though.
I bought coats, pants, sweaters, T-shirts, a sweatshirt, belts, and shoes. Boom. All at once.
That should hold me for the next 2-3 years or so.
Posted by: rickl at October 23, 2013 11:18 PM (sdi6R)
I also hate shopping for clothes -- and hate, hate, hate, hate "fashion" trying to get me to waste my money. So I buy unfashionable stuff and wear it until it's well-nigh disintegrated. Then I try to get the exact same thing so I won't have to evaluate anything new.
Reason I bring this up is that I had a pair of mouse-grey Van's skating shoes that I might've put 100,000 miles on -- wore 'em to Europe a couple of times, had 'em for years -- finally wore entirely through the sole. So I go to the Van's outlet, and they'd discontinued that model....except they had one pair left in my size in the remainders, and it was bright blue. Being a creature of habit, I got the pair anyway.
Unfortunately, I wasn't halfway into the tread before the uppers started separating from the sole. Really annoyed me, but -- of course -- I still wore 'em. During last week's trip to Oregon, I noted that I could look through the edge of the shoe and see the ground when I was about to put 'em on -- and I've only worn the tread smooth on a little patch, size of a quarter.
I may have to shop for shoes again.

If the turban is really high up, then the guy is either growing his hair long or wants everyone to think he's growing his hair long. That would definitely be Sikh.
(Beards over 6" long are also a marker. But younger Sikhs won't have got that far, and older Sikhs tend to trim them for convenience.)

IF they actually ordered him to drop it, and that's a big IF, I can see a 13 year old saying "dude, it's just a toy, see?"
But you know, you listen when cops scream. That'll learn him

Let the virtual memory system deal with commitment and sparseness issues.
If you want to be even cleverer, you never even release those maximum per session blocks, rather keep a pool of them laying around that is constantly recycled, because there's always a "next session" coming.
That saves dipping into the OS memory management for per session allocation/release cycles.
I used that trick at IBM to shave significant time of an operating system's install.
The key to responsiveness is making shit as deterministic and as pre-allocated as possible. Java is none of that.

Shoes were long a big problem for me because my feet are freakishly wide. Getting fitted meant having to go with more expensive brands. The Dr. Scholl's brand finally offered something inexpensive that matched my feet but they disappeared from retail for several months early this year. Had me a bit concerned because all of the the other inexpensive brands I could find had a very different definition of 'wide' than I did. I guess their wide is slightly less dainty Chinese feet rather than the Ukrainian gunboats I got from my mother. She doesn't have Peggy Hill feet but close.

BTH, 20 mins of promos before Rush and that was one - looks absolutely horrible ...
Most of them did, all seemed to be remaking the same movie again and again. A couple of the trailers were all just cut scenes and visuals with no dialog at all - can't be a good sign ...
Out of the lot, the only one that intrigued me was Ridley Scott thing with No Country for Old Men (loved that) guy. Scott's movies are always beautiful, and can be great when he has a decent script - shouldn't be a problem this time ...

A real AK is actually pretty heavy. You can't just wave it around 2lb of plastic.
It'll undoubtedly be deemed a "good shoot" though.
The PD would be wise to assign them to whatever they call their "rubber gun squad" in the future though (every department that isn't tiny has one). Evidence room, vehicle impound, etc

There's a cop who should be charged with attempted murder here in DFW.
He shot a mentally retarded man for "lunging at him with a pocket knife".. While that sounds scary, there happens to be a neighbors video that shows all he did was stand up, and within about 5 seconds, the cop shoots him.
And the cop that arrested the two guys for jolly ranchers. Told him "Its only a matter of time before we find SOMETHING!"
Geeze guys! Just wait till they get hired by the IRS' ACA enforcement squad

Somewhere, unions are behind this sordid and tragic trend. Much as political correctness hasn't allowed for the "drumming-out" of those who aren't worthy of the military.

More in police adventures from today:
Three students at a Chino elementary school were injured Wednesday after a student discharged an assault rifle mounted on a police motorcycle that was on display, an official said.
The AR-15 assault rifle was mounted on the motorcycle that was on display during a drug prevention event, said Tamrin Olden, a spokeswoman for the Chino Police Department.
“The rifle was … secured in the mount on the motorcycle during the incident,” Olden said at an evening news conference. “The child did approach the mounted rifle.”
The students -- whose ages were not immediately known -- suffered minor injuries, Olden said. None were hit by gunfire. Two were likely struck by metal debris, resulting in "extremely minor injuries," she said.

Yea, at the external heat spreader interface. The silicon inside has to be near meltdown.
If they want to go much further with this shit, people gonna have to look a lot harder at SiC tech. Yields are lower cuz SiC crystal production sucks and tends to have a lot of defects, but you can run that shit blistering hot without it melting.
With an IR laser doing some doping experiments a few years ago I used a chunk of granite as a wafer holder while fiddling with some SiC wafer and the freaking granite melted down before the SiC wafer did.

First, it seems that cops are putting their personal paranoia first regardless of the safety of the community they're sworn to protect
When LAPD opened fire on those Filipina women who were delivering papers, there were slugs found inside homes and all over the neighborhood. Luckily it was early enough where no one was outside at the time
Second, all these fearful cops don't seem to possess the bravery society is told they have. One in Sarasota told a reporter that a wrong house overreaction raid was justified "because I want to go home at night"

For those of you who are not from northern Commiefornia, let me clue you in that Santa Rosa used to be way out beyond the northern perimeter of the SF Bay Area sprawloplex, to where you had to drive for an hour and a half through mostly empty open country, and it used to define the word "boring".
Nice, and polite, and pleasant, but boring. I used to joke, "Shit, I can't sleep, I better head on up to Santa Rosa. That'll do it for sure."
Nice, and polite, and pleasant, and boring, and safe. Lily-white and strictly law-abiding. The best part of the pre-1960s USA. The kind of town where people did not lock their front doors. Where they left the keys in the car when they popped in to get the dry cleaning.
Then, starting in the Nineties, thanks to the immigration boom, things changed. Dramatically for the worse.
I hadn't been there in a while, and someone I knew said they had been up for the weekend, and I said, "Good old Santa Rosa, as soporific as ever, what ho? Here, have some of my No-Doz."
They stared at me and said there had been a lethal drive-by shooting one (1) block down from them, as they dove for cover behind a bench, which was anything other than inducive of restful sleep that night.
Hispanic gangs, of course. "Doing the jobs Americans won't do."
I'm quick to condemn genuine police overreaction and excessive use of force. But I have to say that if I was working street patrol level law enforcement up there, and a visibly Hispanic kid was waving something that looked near enough as makes no difference to a for-real AK, which is now a very real possibility in those parts, and if that kid was ignoring loud commands and drawn weapons? I'd turn him into a colander.

The cops are out of control. The thing in LA with them "smelling" meth and killing an old man was defended as his fault for not obeying and respecting their authority enough. Of course this is a government employee union thing, all about self preservation and all that. Few years back Denver PD no-knocked the wrong house and killed a guy for wielding a pop can in his sleep.
The war on drugs, at this point, is nothing more then a jobs program - which is why they object strongly to the encroaching decriminalization. Two cops per thousand people? Clinton's great idea lol - jobs program for government employee unions who are bankrupting our cities and complete overkill. I never see anyone pulled over any more without 2-3 units behind them. Big local suburb has no idea what to do with all of them, they just drive around in their cars all day and do little or nothing to prevent any crime (must nod to some of those guys, they did some great things the after theatre shooting).
Same thing applies to first responder fetish after 9/11 and establishment of the DHS and TSA. Boosh really threw them a bone there, in the name of compromise. Welcome to the police state.

Nothing there about him "waving" the gun at them. He was carrying the gun, two cops saw him walking with it and got excited. According to Sonoma County Sheriff and Santa Rosa PD, the deputies ordered the boy to drop the gun, and fired when he turned around
When he fell on the gun, he was ordered to move away from it. When he didn't respond, they rushed and cuffed him and found they had a dying kid with a BB gun on him

Their first mistake was in rolling up on a situation like that without hanging back a bit and observing. Every patrol car should probably be equipped with a cheap $20 set of Walmart binoculars.
A few seconds of observation would have told them if it had the heft of a real AK.
Old school cops 30 years ago could tell if someone was packing just by the slight alteration it produces in gait. Now they do random street searches and suffer negative publicity because their skills have degraded

“Age does not preclude somebody from being aggressive toward deputies,” Whitmore said. “The lesson here is… don’t pull a gun on a deputy.”
Pate said Mallory, a former engineer with Lockheed Martin, respected law enforcement and would never have used a gun against officers.
“He would never point a gun at officers,” said Pate, 48. “Every day I stay in that house with that bloody bedroom … where I know he was taken from me for no reason.”
Mallory did own two guns that were in the house, Pate said. She said his glasses were beside his bed when he was killed, and could not have seen because of poor eyesight.
“He was shot in his bed before there was any warning given,” Bergener said..
Marijuana was found on another part of the property where TonyaÂ’s lived, she said.
“There was a drug operation that was certainly going on in this house,” Whitmore said.

All true. The Sonoma County airport is actually still named after him.
With regard to the good shoot/bad shoot debate, when I was 13, I was often toting around a lever-action BB gun that could potentially be mistaken for an actual rifle. If a cop had rolled up and shouted at me, I would have had that thing on the ground faster than you can say Jack Sprat. Would have dropped it like it was suddenly boiling hot.
Because while I was a total dumb-ass at age 13 about many things, what I was not a dumb-ass about is that COPS CARRY REAL GUNS. And that COPS WILL SHOOT PEOPLE WHO THEY THINK MIGHT BE A THREAT.

The roids don't help, Cthulu ... yeah there are some good cops, but it's completely out of hand ... and men are men, fallible and motivated by their own interests. We should not live in fear of those who are supposed to serve (each other) and protect (themselves).
Another example is the cops in NY who not only participated in the motorcycle stunting motorist beat down, but one was one of the primary aggressors, smashing the windows of the families car with his helmet. One bad apple my ass ...
Interesting to me is the dramatic drop in violent crime over the years. I suppose the ridiculous amount of policing could be part of that, but it does not seem to correspond to where the greatest effects should be felt. Latino drug gangs certainly are involved in the bulk of the murders here.
Other factors could be the increase in CCW (I think Chicago is a prime example of that), the rise of Internet pron, and elimination of environmental lead. I find the latter the most interesting.
Full decriminalization of the ganj would effectively end the drug war and reduce crime even further - let them concentrate on the real bad stuff like flesh eating Russian crap. Looks like a majority are on board with that for the first time ...

You are exactly illustrating my point. If you construct a factory to make "FAIL", and it does, you cannot go back and say, "that ingredient caused the FAIL". The factory will make FAIL out of the finest of ingredients because that's what it was constructed to do. The people involved -- policemen -- are an ingredient.....they can't be proud to have caused the death of innocents; that can hardly be what they wanted to do when they signed up. But that's where they ended up -- with guns in their hands, paranoia in their minds, RoE in their drills, and no trained framework to evaluate the situation.

I made it with absolutely no problem from my house six miles from Boston to Augusta, Maine. I had no traffic and my navigation system worked perfectly. Somewhere along the way, I decided to stay two nights. I will work from home over the weekend. I stopped at hotel I had booked this morning, the room I had was only available one night. I would have to be in another building if I wanted to stay two nights.
I got to the hospital within minutes. Paul hadnÂ’t eaten and neither had I. I was surprised that he looks good, his legs have feelings but he canÂ’t move them. Because of his infections, heÂ’s isolated. I asked nurse if I should gown up and she said no, I would be fine.
I found ApplebeeÂ’s menu online and had him place order because he wanted candy and I was going to CVS to buy water & candy he wanted.
I was lost for an hour because it was dark out, there are not many lights on and the rotaries are the worse I have ever seen. I thought MA had screwed up rotaries, but the ones here have five or six options to take and the signs are confusing and there is a sign that hides what the total routes offered are.
IÂ’m glad I came here. I am only going out during day. There arenÂ’t many street lights, or none.
Paul was happy to see me but he couldnÂ’t eat at first because they were going to do a CT Scan. Then it was too late to order his dinner.

Peanuts has become one of those generational cultural markers.
There are catch phrases and metaphors (Lucy pulling the football away comes up often at Ace's place) which are meaningless to most people below a certain age. 35-ish, I imagine?
I laughed when someone posted an account of finding a classic VHS tape of _It's A Charlie Brown Christmas_ and popping it into the creaking old VCR for their five-year-old daughter.

Thank you, cthulhu. I am not sure why they wanted to do CT Scan, but he called to make sure I got back here without a problem, but I missed a turn because there were no lights. Tonight is the first time I have ever used my high beams in 34 years of having a car. I used to use my parents before I bought my own and I never remember using high beams. I ended up on highway with toll road twice. Navigation system didnÂ’t tell me to turn around for 20 miles. Man @ toll booth did. I chose navigation system.
Now Paul canÂ’t eat or drink after midnight. He was able to drink when I got there. Then they were planning to do scan.
He had ribs & I finally asked him if he wanted me to cut them for him. He canÂ’t use both his hands. His right hand has three fingers that are folded in and wonÂ’t release.

Cthulu I think we are saying the same thing, but talking around each other a bit - I agree with your point - I guess my point is that your factory is made of men, merely men, not a thing into itself, and they have built that structure through the pursuit of their own self interest, like all men, and they have utilized the political process and their power to construct something that is of benefit to them (govt employee unions), at the expense of us (the republic).
Individuals are individuals, and should judged individually for their actions. Most people are mostly good, and usually make the right choices, individually. When we combine people into groups, we sometimes seem to be freed of our individual moral compass for the good of the group, and are capable of unspeakable acts of inhumanity to protect said factory. To say otherwise is akin to letting war criminals off for just following orders, in my way of thinking.
Individuals should be judged as individuals, and groups as groups, which is why I have no problem saying "the cops are out of control" without feeling the need to defend individual cops and obviate them of their own moral authority. After all, they, along with others (the dem pols, in the case of govt employee unions), built that factory, it was not forced upon them some by otherworldly force ...

If I were to focus on one very significant part of our discussion, it would be "factory is made of men, merely men, not a thing into itself, and they have built that structure through the pursuit of their own self interest".
The thing is that the people who work in factories and the people who build them are different people. People who work in factories want to be proud of the stuff they produce....people who build factories want to profit from their investment. It doesn't make either one more virtuous -- without profit-seeking, there wouldn't be any factories at all. It is undeniable, however, that a factory built for FAIL will produce FAIL, irregardless of the quality of its ingredients or the earnestness and skill of its workforce.

The old man, described by a family member as "wobbly" on his feet, had refused medical attention. The paramedics were called. They brought in the Park Forest police.
First they tased him, but that didn't work. So they fired a shotgun, hitting him in the stomach with a bean-bag round. Wrana was struck with such force that he bled to death internally, according to the Cook County medical examiner.
"The Japanese military couldn't get him at the age he was touchable, in a uniform in the war. It took 70 years later for the Park Forest police to do the job," Wrana's family attorney, Nicholas Grapsas, a former prosecutor, said in an interview with me Thursday
The 95 old man made seven police officers fear for their lives by wielding a shoe horn and a cane. So they tased him and shot him with bean bags
Mr Wrana was suffering from a urinary tract infection which combined with his age probably made him delirious
But hey, Pops should have followed orders like he did as an Army Air Corps airman in the Pacific because those cops wanted to be able to make it home to pop a beer and catch the Cubbies on the tube.

Apparently there was a fan who was near a mike, and he kept yelling at Cardinals hitters, presumably when they were at the on-deck circle.
This is why people hate Boston and the Red Sox. The fans are complete jerks, and just looking at them in the stands, you can't help but root against the team.
Leaving aside the question of whether you REALLY want John Freakin' Kerry, Liawatha, and Mumbles Manino to be out there celebrating, I can't think of one good reason why anyone would want the Red Sox to win this thing.

Yesterday, the new started off with the story of the murdered teacher in Danvers. Almost a full minute's worth. Then they segued straight into the friggin' Sox, and teh news-bimbos yammered on endlessly about that for, well, forever. They interviewed every drunken fan, every seller of overpriced Sox merchandise, yapped about "America's most beloved ballpark," yadda yadda yadda.

That was a thing of beauty. Honestly, when you list out all the rogues who call themselves Red Sox fans, I don't know how any decent, self-respecting Bostonian (if there ARE any decent, self-respecting Bostonians) doesn't turn him or herself into a Yankees fan.

Question for the computer heavies here. My computer has been acting very sluggish lately and I suspects spyware and Trojans despit the fact that I am running multiple blocking programs and I get zero hits from McAfee scans. So I updated my MalwareBytes and did a scan. Got 216 hits for malware, most of which were associated with a program called DTUpdate that appeared to have something to do with address tabs.
Does anyone know what this is and what impact it will have if I deleted all these things?

Even GMA talked about it as the opening story.
But no mention of possible cause of death.
And this lack of detail seems to be MSM wide.
Of course, within moments of the other teachers death, we knew make, caliber and style of handgun used.

The story of that young teacher who was found dead in MA yesterday has come full circle. The teen identified by that other web site I posted yesterday has admitted to punching her in the face and cutting her throat with a box cutter. Aren't schools box cutter free zones? Hell we are expelling students for bringing plastic butter knives now. This is a tragic event, not just because that was beautiful young woman, but because two lives are now gone. They have released the kid's name because he WILL be tried as an adult. But be that as it may, according to SCOTUS he is too young to get the death penalty.

You got that right, Bunky.
I see LWOP as the nicest thing that could happen to any murderer. Around here, I'm afraid they'd get a day in the stocks, or perhaps a quick dose of the ducking stool.
A local judge regularly blows off serious (i.e. DUI, assault, etc.) cases with at most fines and time served. I hate to think what he'd do with Murder One.

Girl in my office here lives in the town. He was laying in wait for her and killed her with a tool from the art class, slit her throat. He shoved her in a recycle bin and wheeled her out to the woods. Said he was failing and maybe would be kicked off the soccer team. OH yes one other thing, he could be Obama's son.
