We saw vividly the effects of what a lockdown accomplished at Sandy Hook Elementary once the shooter made it inside the building. It simply made his slaughter easier. Of the seven children that survived the classrooms he attacked, six were runners, and one was a hider.

I heard that someone started a dating service where you can't see the picture of who you're talking to, until you both agree.
Average dating service: many more men than women
This dating service: Sixteen to One, Women to Men.
The average picture of those women does not look like this.

Plus India - VERY non-homogenous. But they seem to have realised this and buckled, separating south India from north . . .
Peru has the Spanish / Quechua thing going on.
Romania: Gypsy / Latin / Hungarian.
France: Celtic / Norman / Provencal / Alsatian.
Yeah, I think we're covered for internal diversity here.

Actually it's been a well known result for years that if you take many face images and measure key features like eye width, cheekbones, ratio of width to height, width of mouth, nose length, etc, etc and use a computer to average them and generate a composite 'average' face, the result is always more attractive than any individual face. So a lot of 'beauty' is being supremely average. One theory is that perfect facial symmetry and average proportions are a sign of genetic and physical fitness.

No raw data, no methodology, outcome looks suspiciously perfect... well, just color me suspicious.
Also, my first point was that the concept is effectively meaningless and not applicable to much of anything other than wheel-spinning.
*AND* yes I'm a little peeved at the constant drumbeat for a physical ideal's effect on people. Not crazy cranky like some people, but like the lies the women's magazine tells you, "ideals" like this just set bizarre expectations.

Actually I quite liked it.
I thought that some of the metaphysical imagery was really particularly effective....and, er....interesting rhythmic devices too -- which seemed to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor, of the humanity of the poet's compassionate soul....which contrives through the medium of the verse structure to sublimate this, transcend that, and come to terms with the fundamental dichotomies of the other. Finally, one is left with a profound and vivid insight into whatever it was the poem was about.

It depends on how many souls they have stolen. The more souls they have the clearer the photograph. I have heard a rumor that if they have stolen enough souls you can even see them in a mirror, but I have never actually seen this happen.

OK- here goes.
Many of you are familiar with the story of my F-I-L, missing and presumed dead for five years now (October 200
. The likely culprit in his disappearance is an unregistered sex offender who went into hiding the same day Gramps disappeared and has not been located since, although there have been a couple of sightings.
My F-I-L never had much of an internet footprint, didn't do on-line shopping or banking or that sort of stuff. He was on Social Security and did live in Section 8 housing, so his name and social security number were on file with the government. He never had a credit card, though he did have a bank account.
Lo and behold, this week, after 5 years of nothing, my wife's half-sister (my 0.5SIL?) gets a solicitation phone call from a credit company, asking for Gramps (by name) and saying that they had her phone number as contact number for a credit card account in the joint names of Gramps and his surviving wife (widow). They would not give 0.5SIL any more information.
This seems like a case of identity theft five years after the fact, but we are wondering how you all might approach getting more information about this supposed credit card in Jack's name. We have some ideas, but I'll see what you all think. I can give a few more details if needed.

He has not been legally declared dead. His widow is a Filipina, naturalized citizen who is drawing his Social Security checks still, she probably prefers to have him considered "missing" for financial reasons. We have asked her to get a credit report, and my 0.5 SIL who works for a collections agency says that there is a more detailed credit report that can be obtained by lenders, so we are wondering if the widow should go to her bank and make the request through them.

An Irish Airman Foresees His Death
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

My initial take is that it sounds like a scam. Then again, about 85% of my contacts with other human beings initially sound like scams to me....including the devilish "Good morning!" and "Have a nice day!" scams.
Thinking about the timing a bit, I'm thinking that someone may have encountered your FIL's name in your state's "unclaimed property" listing.
The way this works is that inactive bank accounts (like small savings accounts not caught by heirs) are regularly reported by banks to state regulators. After some statutory number of years, the funds are "escheated" from the account and handed over to the state -- so that those bad, awful banks won't use it to run their bank more effectively when it could be used for the public good of locking deadbeat taxpayers out of state facilities when they don't bend over and spread their cheeks fast enough....
The theory also holds that, since the bank could go bankrupt and fold, the heirs would benefit by having the money at the state government, since the State is Eternal.
Anyway, the state will then turn around and publish a list in an obscure place saying something like "10/24/13, John Smith, $82.14, Boogaloo State Bank" -- which are perfect for scammers to get hold of, find John Smith's heirs, and say "we have discovered a fortune your Grandpappy set aside for you, but will need legal and finder's fees of $10,000 to get it for you!"

Unless there is an interstate aspect to it I do not believe they will get involved. We'll work our way up the chain to that if we have to. Previously even the Colorado Bureau of Investigation has refused to get actively involved in the original missing person case. One of our questions is if an identity theft will up the ante in any way and prompt more adept agencies to take part.
But your FIL is a missing person. It might lead to something. No one ever found him?

Good morning and have a nice day to you kind sir.
Those are good thoughts. I've been wondering where someone might have gotten enough info on him. There was never an obituary or death announcement and his disappearance came and went from the local newspaper in about two days.
It is certainly hoping for too much that the murderer took his wallet and used his ID and SSN to open a bogus credit card account. Criminals never do anything that stupid do they?

Any hoo, thanks for all the suggestions. Probably is a nothingburger in terms of solving Jack's murder, but after two years of no clues at all, it created a little buzz here in the Muldoon house this week.
Oh, except for the leg bone we found last month. But that is a story for another night.

My F-I-L never had much of an internet footprint, didn't do on-line shopping or banking or that sort of stuff. He was on Social Security and did live in Section 8 housing, so his name and social security number were on file with the government. He never had a credit card, though he did have a bank account.
Lo and behold, this week, after 5 years of nothing, my wife's half-sister (my 0.5SIL?) gets a solicitation phone call from a credit company, asking for Gramps (by name) and saying that they had her phone number as contact number for a credit card account in the joint names of Gramps and his surviving wife (widow). They would not give 0.5SIL any more information.
This seems like a case of identity theft five years after the fact, but we are wondering how you all might approach getting more information about this supposed credit card in Jack's name. We have some ideas, but I'll see what you all think. I can give a few more details if needed.
Posted by: at October 24, 2013 11:13 PM
How sure can you be that gramps didn't have such a credit card? Was there a joint bank account? Setting up a joint credit account for someone who never had a credit card sounds odd. If it's the vanished suspect behind this, he's a bonehead. But, he doesn't sound like a bonehead.

Very near Fort Garland. He disappeared from property he owned about 8 miles from Ft. Garland in the Forbes ranches. Remote road with a total of 4 full time residents- one of whom was a convicted sex offender living under an assumed name with a history of violence. The new link in my nick goes to the page on my blog that links to the Denver Post article from 2010 that summarizes the case nicely.
Heh. As I described Jack in the book, he never took a long walk when a short walk would do, and he never took a short hike when a couch and a nap were available.
He was 78 years old, had vertigo, and was not an outdoorsman.

I agree with you. That is one reason we are keyed up, but trying to be realistic about the chances this will lead anywhere. We are going to let it play out through the sheriff's office since they have jurisdiction, but we are considering all of these other avenues in case that doesn't pan out.

tangonine is right, you do get some prediction abilities over time. The two things I've noticed are that if her beauty seems like a fragile flower, it will not last (see, for example, 16 year old hillbilly blondes). If it's really really distinctive in an odd intense way, then it probably won't last, like that chick with the intense eyes and cheekbones in the miniseries for The Stand, or that gingerish chick who was on Mission Impossible for a while. But I don't think that the prediction thing can ever be nearly as reliable as a good long look at Mom.

Posted by: Seamus Muldoon at October 24, 2013 11:13 PM (N/Sup)
If you can find out what bank issued the credit card, call their fraud department. If they investigate and find something out of whack, they can get some real heavy hitters go after the fraudsters.
Plus, don't read too much into your 1/2 sister getting a phone call from a collection agency. We got some phone calls from collection agencies a few years ago because they thought my wife might have been related to a deadbeat because her maiden name was the same as the deadbeat's last name, and they got her maiden name through a property search. Collection agencies can be relentless if they think they have found a way to get paid.
I would explain to your MIL that if the credit card is a joint card, she is responsible for any debts unless she gets the fraud department on it. Plus, it will fuck up her credit.

Okay here's my weird ass story from today ... I got the strangest wrong number ever on my work cell. Dude calls, I answer my regular "This is Joe" and he says (heavily accented) this is Richard (I think, my short term is fading badly), oddly familiar but with no request. After a moment of awkward silence, having no clue who I was talking too, I said "what can I do for you?" (it is not unusual for me to receive work calls from heavily accented folk with seemingly random requests) and he says (clearly ME accent at this point, but so heavy hard to understand) "This is activation" (I'm pretty sure, but not clear enough to be completely sure) so I say "What?" and he says "Are you ready for our special event in Times Square next week?" and I'm baffled at this point and say "I don't think you called the right person". His response is "Is this Johan?" and I say "No, my name is Joseph [last name the first syllable of which is a homonym to second syllable of Johan]" and he gets all freaked out and nervous like "oh sorry I called the wrong person ha ha" and I'm like "yeah I get that sometimes" but he clearly didn't get the humor and hang up.
Immediately after I hung up the thought occurred to me "activation", "special event", "times square", heavy ME accent - false familiarity - holy crap this is exactly what I imagined a sleeper activation call would sound like.
So I call the number back, it was not blocked, and he answers, and I'm all like falsely familiar with him this time "Hey, hows it going" "whats going on" "I got a call from this number" and he says a couple times "did I just talk to you?" (clearly very nervous at this point) and eventually says "Is this (garbled version of my actual name)" and I say "Yeah, so whats the event you have planned" and he says "yes, Times Square, New York City" and I say again "what special event do you guys have planned?" and he says "um, uh, uh retail" and I say "retail?" and he goes "sorry sorry I call wrong person" ever more nervous and hangs up.
At this point I'm pretty freaked and thinking of calling the Feds. I txt the number "Are you an (my employer) employee? How did you get this number?" but I get invalid number message in return. I google up the number and it shows land line, NYC, but can't get a hit (unlisted) - I even tried one of those search outfits, but I got back a note that they would get back to me a few days, so no hits.
I immediately thought I should report it somehow, but what if I'm just being a racist paranoid nutjob (def not the former, maybe tend to the latter) and would that be the reaction if I reported?
I've been freaked out by this all day since it would be difficult to live with myself if something happened next week in times square, but if it does, you heard it hear first .,..

I hate to toot my own horn, but I've been teaching the 18-26 group for... wow (now that I think about it) 18 years now, either in the military or at a university.
And after my little gremlins get all growed up they come around every now and then and I'm dead on: the plain janes at 18, the hard workers not obsessed with their appearance? They tend to be the more attractive of the bunch 10 years later on the female side.
On the male side, shit we all look the same. every now and then some dude gets a crossfit thing and goes from fat to ripped but other than that not much difference.

As you know, the land Furliegh lived on next to your FIL was owned by Furleigh's mom. Any asshole could be using the stolen ID. But I would be curious to see where the charges are being made? In CO? Or in FL? I am certain Furleigh's parents having been assisting him while he is on the lam . Has anyone in LE called them? They should access their bank accounts. I am sure there are transfers of cash to asshole son

One of the high school cheerleaders from my class (who was hotter than the hinges on the gates of hell at the time) showed up as a new hire at BigPharmaCorp(tm) where the wife and I both work.
The wife asked me "who was that old hag you hugged in the café this morning?"
I told her it was the cheerleader who ate the squad... scary stuff. Now the wife refers to her as the "cannibal cheerleader" every time we cross paths with the chick. All the points made above are correct on this subject. time is an evil bitch.

'79 Mustang 3-door. Looked great. Comfortably proportioned. All plastic, so suboptimal in a city I saw hit 127 degrees.....and the drive train was complete and utter worthless shit. I could do a Ewok-movie-review-length post on all that was wrong with that car, from the factory spec toe-in that courted roll every time you turned, to the experimental variable-venturi carburetor that gummed up when fed gasoline that wasn't laboratory-grade.

Joe if you have nothing to hide overtly (warrants, psych doc's, etc..), why not report it? Its not like you are reporting something against the regime, right?
As long as you have the calls logged in your phone that should be enough to prove you aren't just a crackpot (other than your time spent here).
I'd goto my locals and tell them "this shit is weird, what do you guys think?". After they deployed the tank and helicopter, locked down the schools, and strip searched me, they'd run it up to the feds, I think?

I'm wearing my BCG's from basic right now. Broke my glasses. Wife said if I don't go with her to get new ones next week I'll never see the panty hamster again as long as I look like the Hubble telescope.

B'day boy here the past week as I regress to the '70s and early '80s. Yes I am, two, to, too damn old! Thank you.
Site requests: National Lampoon archive pdf's or even the covers as in the '70s one arteest did parodies of Norman Rockwell suitable for framing. One was heteronormtive and the other was gambling. Gambling issue ...which the 8(?) page comic on 'Hot Horses, Cold Cash and Track Rats.
The average face ... I lay down an across the board bet on Mongolia.
Have a good weekend!

I did LASIK 10 years ago, as part of my "40th birthday clean-up-the-health-shit" campaign. My aunt had radial-K back in the day, which looks like thoracic surgery with stone implements compared to modern surgery when it's compared to LASIK, and I kept thinking that there might be a post-LASIK thing that was even a leap beyond the radial-K to LASIK leap.
Totally worth the money, time, risk, and trouble. I've gotten a glorious decade of natural sight....and now I'm working on presbyopia. Wish I'd don't the LASIK earlier.

It was definitely NOT a prank, it was either an honest wrong number, and I'm freaking out needlessly, or something more sinister. I described it as accurately as possible for y'all and the consensus was that it was not normal, so thanks again.
I expect the ears will be on me for a while. I'm sorry but I might've broken Ace's request for absence of controversy.
Funny thing is the fed form broke, lol - said I had 7 characters left but threw error I was over, had to remove my delimiters.

True story -- when I was in my teens, right before college, we lived in a house out in the country. It was set up so that there were 3 bedrooms off a corridor in the back, and one bedroom (mine) in the front of the house.
Unknown to me, my parents set up this deal where the neighbor girl was supposed to come over to be babysat at like 7:30 am on a weekend, so her folks could run off to some event. So she knocks on the door at something like 7:10 and I get out of bed, put on a bathrobe, go to the front door, unbolt the deadbolt, open it, say "there's no-one awake here", shut the door in her face, set the deadbolt, go back to the bedroom, shuck the bathrobe, and get back in bed. I remember none of this, BTW.
What I do remember is getting woken up at 9:00 with alarms and running around and yelling because we'd misplaced someone we were supposed to be babysitting.
It's close enough to answering "no" when someone asks "is anybody home?" Sometimes it is believed.

There is a method to my madness.....I'm looking to leave the glorious state of California and relocate. Climate says it's likely to the South. So I've got my ears pricked about southern things that I wouldn't be prepared for with 50 years in CA.
As an example, you can get your car keyed anywhere -- just park in an urban area with a "Romney" bumper sticker. But the BH's first trip to set up a branch office in NC got her tires slashed in a hotel parking lot. SoS's saga involved tire-slashing. And the BH has a personnel issue in NC where tire-slashing is involved. Evidently, tire-slashing is more common in other states than I would have thought.....
As you may imagine, there are a lot of such things....from Black Ice to Water Moccasins to sweet tea to chiggers....and I know that I am totally, dangerously ignorant in dealing with 'em. So I'm trying to learn before I get there.

I spent far too much of my youth in -- if you'll excuse the expression -- a fucking desert. That's where the youngster pic was snapped, BTW -- a place that hit 127 while I was driving that same vinyl-seated car (the record in the US is only 134). I know that they're always talking about "a dry heat", but I have been there and done that.
In the snakes department, we've got rattlesnakes up the yazoo. I don't know much about coral snakes or water moccasins, but they're not as dense on the ground as rattlesnakes are here.
It's really about the differences and the conditioned responses.

Match yourself to the state. I ended up in MO, not too far off from what IL rates which is where I live. This is about as much science as this site is a smart military blog, but it was amusing.
