War News Updates is a very good news aggregator for all topics military but they do cover other areas at times. Here's their take on the IRS coverup that is ongoing:
I am not an American .... just a Russian national who is now a Canadian citizen looking from the outside in .... and I am just shaking my head. There is something terribly wrong in the U.S. right now .... when the IRS has been politicized to go after a specific political group, it does not take a 'political scientist and historian' to know that you are entering a very dark place .... and being one who grew up in such a place (the former Soviet Union) .... trust me on this one .... it is a place that you do not want to find yourself living in.

Beware the yellow light
I expect this to occur in more communities across the country as municipalities need more revenue. Florida quietly shortened yellow light standards and lengths, resulting in more red light tickets for you. Not a very safe thing to do to drivers.
But there are few tangible safety benefits to short yellow lights. In fact, they appear to have the opposite effects; according to the USDOT and FHA, short yellow lights raise crash rates."A one second increase in yellow time results in 40 percent decrease in severe red light related crashes," the report said.
Jim Walker said shortening a driver's window for reacting to a yellow light creates more difficult split-second decisions, which can lead to more rear end collisions too. And he contends most serious accidents aren't coming from the "innocent driver" who gets caught by a short yellow. They're caused by blatant red light runners who will run a light regardless of yellow light length.
Death Star Destroys The Enterprise
I can already see the J. J. Abrams influence. Needs more lens flare though.
MSM Humor
Of course it involves CNN. CNN anchors do satellite interview with each other while sitting only 30 feet apart. The news, where they make shit up like it's a movie or something.
Producers at CNN apparently thought viewers wouldnÂ’t notice that anchors Nancy Grace of HLN/Headline News and Ashleigh Banfield of Newsroom were standing no more than 30 feet way from one another as they manipulated the footage and placed Grace on BanfieldÂ’s right instead of her left.The blatant visual gimmick aired Tuesday morning as the two correspondents reported on the latest details behind the horrific Cleveland kidnapping story and pretended they were conducting a remote interview, as the Atlantic Wire pointed out soon after.
Aviation Stuff
Earlier this week over in Britain, they held a ceremonial flyover celebrating their audacious dambuster raid that occurred 70 years ago. Click here for a close up of the above graphic detailing the Dambusters Raid. Pretty sweet to see a Lancaster bomber still flying.
The Aviationist has video as seen from the cockpit of the Lancaster as it does its flyover.
In other news, the US Navy made history by launching the X-47 from the USS George H. W. Bush. The first ever UAV launched from an aircraft carrier.
Air Force In The Dark
Sequester forcing major Air Force base to work in the dark. OK. Really. Just a bit of hyperventilating here. Yes commands are turning off lights and micromanaging the air conditioning to save a few bucks but c'mon, if sequester is causing this, just wait then until real cuts hit. BTW, where's all that green energy stuff that is free like wind and solar that the military has been spending billions on?
The Sun
Keep an eye on this site over the next few days as the sun as been particularly active this past week. Sunspot 1748 is now in a position that if it were to have a CME associated solar flare, it would most likely be Earth bound. Some folks in the northern latitudes got some nice aurora borealis last night from a CME that brushed past us from an earlier solar flare from that sunspot. Another CME is expected to brush past us tomorrow. You can see here the visibility probability of seeing aurora borealis.
Cat Video
Heh. The 300 soundtrack was a nice touch.

As any married man knows, tits hate other, competing tits. But intelligent natural tits do not resent plastic tits.
Bottom line: Femen needs to return to protesting tyranny. It's not as though they'll run out of what they're supposed to protest, like the NAACP or feminist groups have done, so they don't need to start making stuff up as those groups do.

It tied up in a $3.2 million dollar wind turbine at Ft Huachuca that has to be shut down for half the year because of the migration habits of the Lesser Mexican Long-nosed Bat.
And the stupid asshats want to put more of them on the fort.

But to be fair, for the few hours per year that the wind is blowing at a usable speed, the turbine maintenance is up to date, and the turbine is allowed to actually work because it is not bat killing season, then the turbine investment will be completely recovered in about 2050. Of course, by then, Fort H will be a LaRaza training compound.

164 it is not a wwii plane, obviously, but I really would like a c130. great range, carries a ton of crap, and it is able to take off and land nearly anywhere.
--------------
Living close to the Locheed plant in Marietta, I occasinally watched short-field landing practice (on dirt) by C-130's. I'm sure it isn't so, but it often appeared that they had already reversed the props before they hit the ground. The short stops were atsonishing

Always had a thing for the P-38. But it takes a good pilot to handle a twin.
Chuck Yeager said, in his book, that flying the P-51 again long after WWII was much more difficult than he remembered -- but he said they flew all the time back during the war.

OK, everybody, I'm just doing the old in-out here, but I thought y'all'd like to know something.
I just got back from a gig with my guitar playing bud whom I've known and been in bands with since he was in HS. He's 34 now. He was a typical LIV who voted for TFG back in '08. I've been trying to gently get him to see the light and come over to our side.
Tonight, after we got done playing, he said he didn't vote for TFG this time, but the icing on the cake was that he finally said he REGRETS EVER VOTING FOR HIM!!!!!1!11!Eleventy!!!!111!
I knew he could be turned. Bhwaaaaaaahhaaaaaa!
We now return you to your regular ONT. I'ma gonna watch the All-Star Race. Catch y'all on the flip-flop.

I think she might be mental. Or maybe just all tits and no brains. But her husband, who played a particularly loathsome character in The Green Mile, seems very happy with her.

Bogus terminal loop conditions, uninitialized variables, looking for exact matches on floating point numbers, pointer bugs, etc.
Take a hard look at the assert.h assertion mechanism. Wherever the program assumes something to be true assert() it.
ex.
/* function assumes parms aren't negative */
#include assert.h
int somefunction(int parm1, float parm2)
{
assert(parm1 >= 0);
assert(parm2 >= 0.0);
blah, blah, blah
}
If you splatter the code with enough assertions about what has to be what, one of those assertions is probably gonna pop when it goes astray.
The assertion mechanism is turned on/off by the definition of a symbol, so you can leave the assert() stuff in the code and neutralize it on a production build.

I have to say, this is some boring ass shit right here. I don't feel bad about not paying attention to hockey now. I always felt like I was missing out on something by not being a hockey fan, turns out, not at all.
I went to my first Formula 1 race last year and now NASCAR just pales in comparison so I decided to give hockey a chance. I guess it's a sport that you can only enjoy if you played it as a kid, like baseball.

ex.

abc = (foo,bar,bat);
These do NOT give the same result.
The first is equivalent to abc=foo, the second is equivalent to abc=bat.

In fact, the mirror Federation uniforms and symbol were way better than the normal Federation stuff.

actually I am not all that certain when the house was built, but I know the insurance company's year is off
The insurance company has 1940, but I have seen the year 1938 traced into the cement in the basement (I think it is 1938, it might be 1933) and some of the real estate paperwork (but not all of it, curiously) said that the house was built in 1912.

Sometimes they key off when a slab is poured rather than when the structure is erected. Frequently builder setup a shitload of slab pours when laying out a development, then erect when sales are made.
If the discrepancy is only a few years, this may be the reason. If its 10 or 20, then its something else.

It's a similar thing I've read when freeways are built. As I understand it, there are turnoffs that have sat gathering dust for decades waiting for streets (or other freeways) to be connected.
And then there's the Coal Canyon Exit on the SR-91 freeway in SoCal, right at the border of Orange and Riverside Counties. All it ever connected to was other ramps onto the 91. It finally got declared a wildlife refuge in 2003 and the exit was actually removed from the freeway, as well as from maps.

A great sitcom. It's interesting to watch the ten episodes of the failed US version and note what they did wrong.
Moffat and Sue Vertue's experience on the US production was a big part of the inspiration for the Showtime series 'Episodes.'

You gotta admit Lisa Ryder was really hot in that tousled do they had her wearing in the third season.
It funny to see 'Jason X' where Lisa Ryder plays an android and Lexa Doig a human. They were both cast for Andromeda just a few months after that finished shooting.

Friends started in 1994. Coupling first aired in 2000.
Supposedly it was largely based on Moffat's courtship and mariage with Sue Vertue, which is why it culminated with the birth of Steve and Susan's son. The original concept was to be tightly plotted around the central couple but they got so much reaction to the rest of the cast in the first episode it was revised to be more of an ensemble show.

There's two ways to look at value -- the people who bring in the sales, and the people who prevent those wonderful sales from bankrupting you with service/maintenance costs and recalls.
I was always one of the later types. ex. IBM shipped a shitload of bad Valuepoint motherboards. The field service/rework cost was going to be close to $250M worldwide.
With a bit of software magic in EMM386, the recall/rework never happened, the sun continued to rise each day, and no wrists in the hardware lab were slashed.

To me, after Seinfeld, prime Simpsons, and maybe Frasier, Coupling is the funniest show ever (Cheers and Arrested Development right there).
I still, to this day, include things like the Giggle Loop and the Sock Gap into conversation.
Yes, the US version sucked. No, the original was not a copy of Friends - it was a British mix of Seinfeld and Friends. Yes, the show lost quite a bit when Jeff left, but it didn't become unwatchable like when [x character] left [that show you like].
Not trying to be dickish, but the American comedies I watched never lost characters. I know The Office did, but I didn't watch it, so I don't know.
The ensemble was so ridiculous that it necessitated a greater focus, particularly Jeff, Patrick and Jeff.
For you American cable viewers, Jeff was on the last season of "Covert Affairs" while Jane was the second lead/love interest in "Leverage."

A notorious item is the 'lost' first episode of 'Armstrong and Miller.' US viewers are most likely to know comic Ben Miller from his character in the early seasons of Primeval. (He was the government guy running the Ark where all of the captured prehistoric beasties were kept.)
This was a prolonged sketch comedy show. In the first episode they parodied the works of James Herriot playing a trio, along with Sarah Alexander, of veterinarians trying to serve a rustic community that has difficulty accepting them. Not because of their high falutin' city ways but because they go around everywhere buck naked. This is only hinted at in the beginning but becomes more apparent as the story builds, ending with all through fully exposed in the final scene.
The episode has never been released to the home video market or even broadcast again. But a few VHS recording converted to digital have found their way onto torrent sites.

This book is a children's novel called "My Teachers are Zombies!"
It's the nice story of three friends who discover their teacher is a zombie who is trying to make their brains bigger so as to eat them later (with a dash of pepper).
I would like to encourage people to at least read the sample provided on the Amazon page (available at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CKJ70AW) and if it catches your interest, please feel free to purchase it or gift it to a friend!
I double edited it as well, to avoid the common spelling and grammar mistakes that plague most first time writers (of course, mentioning that guarantees at least two errors will crop up in this message). I also made sure there was a bit of light foreshadowing, use of Chekov's gun, and lamp-shading. Additionally, it's a self-contained story, not a series, which appeals to me in an era of unnecessary trilogies and sequels.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Just ask your employer for an I-9 and write EXEMPT where any and every American can and should write EXEMPT, and take all the money you earned. When the IRS asks for their money, just laugh at them.
Just because they put you in jail doesn't mean you did anything wrong.

Even better, Jeff (Richard Coyle) starred in the movie version of Terry Pratchett's 'Going Postal' as Moist Von Lipwig. It was very good and his casting was a good choice. I really hope they bring him back a production of 'Making Money.'
Pratchett has said he intends a third book with the character about taxes but it depends on whether his cognitive health last long enough.

Remember Mia Sara, Ferris Bueller's girlfriend? Not porn but a good example. She had what is kindly called a willowy figure. After good roles started to dry up for her, she gave into temptation and had some implants installed. I can only imagine the procedure was a lot like that done to Wendy in the 'Bebe's Boob Destroy Society' episode of South Park. She didn't go huge but there was so little space to work with that it appears she had baseballs placed behind her nipples.
IMDB says she has been working in various stuff but the last thing I saw her in was the shortlived 'Birds of Prey' TV series. She looked rode hard and put away wet. She's older than I expected. Only three years behind me. OTOH, a quick dye job and I bet I could pass for younger than her.

I've got the whole lot. Worst Xmas, all of it. Have to be in the right mood though. Otherwise you can either get mad at the character for not defusing the situation or feel too horrified at his travails.
Miller was a Physics student before he ran off to join the circus. His PhD thesis at Cambridge was on "novel quantum effects in quasi-zero dimensional mesoscopic electrical systems." He has a book out called 'It's Not Rocket Science." I've got the Kindle version but haven't read it yet.
Reminds me of Brian May, who left his astrophysics doctorate incomplete for a couple decades because he was busy being a guitar player in an obscure glam band. Or Graham Chapman, who was in medical school when the Queen came by the university. Chapman was giving a presentation and Liz asked him what his plans were. He mentioned that he had a specialty picked out but was also tempted to leave school to tour with his friends doing comedy. The Queen told him to follow his muse, whichever way it happened to go.
So, when he told his parents he was leaving school to pursue show business, he was able to answer their objections with, "But Mum, the Queen told me..."

Dad was a cop and loved him some Columbo and McCloud; called them "training films". I never caught onto McCloud, but always loved Columbo.

Around level 8 you can start running skirmishes for astral diamonds and other coin. I'm getting a kick out of trading AD for Zen on the exchange, in addition to cashing out loot for AD on the auction house. YMMV as far as accumulating pretend wealth holds interest.
The exchange broke rather spectacularly during the event during the last hour, going bidless and popping up offers of 200 ad for a few seconds at a time, so it's just like playing on the stock market.

They're licensing content, and selling media. Existing case law on this allows for backup and archival copies.

I tell you, as much as she depreciated every season on Coupling (1st season, 2nd episode was her peak), Sarah Alexander will always do it for me. Blonde, personality, booty, accent . . . I'm good.
Ironically, the chick who played Sally was hottest in either the 3rd or 4th season of Coupling, while the chick who played Jane was hottest either in the 4th season of Coupling or the 1st season of Leverage.
Speaking of naked chicks and ravages of time - Lucy Lawless clearly made a deal with the devil. Do I want the ultra perky tits and the raven hair of the Warrior Princess? Sure, but will I accept the awesome tits of a lighter Lawless on that Roman show?
Do you need to say a name to see those titties? Then I'm Spartacus!

Mia Sara wasn't the first actress cast in the Harley Quinn role. I forget who it was but a friend who worked at Warner gave me a tape with the original pilots for both Birds and Smallville. The latter had a different Martha Kent and they later reshot all of the scenes where Annette O'Toole.
Added oddness: When Smallville was doing PR in preparation for the first season launching, Kristen Kreuk gave an interview where she stated that one of the interesting things about her character was that she'd had a lot of appearances in the comics but never in TV or the movies. This was actually wrong. A producer had lied to her to help entice her into committing to the part. Not only had Lana Lang been played by Stacey Haiduk in a late 80s Superboy TV series but she had appeared briefly in the first Christopher Reeve movie and was a prominent character in the third movie, played by...
Annette O'Toole
(Both Haiduk and O'Toole were far closer in appearance to the redhead in the comics.)
The thing is, at the time she did the interview, Kristin Kreuk had never met Annete O'Toole. It was done months in advance of the show's first airing and the Martha Kent role hadn't been recast yet.
I thought I was the only one who'd picked up on this stuff until this person I'd become friendly with through LASFS showed me those original pilots and some additional details I hadn't known, like the producer lying to the actress about her character.

That's on her too. If you're going to be doing a character that has a backstory such as that you should do your own research. And it does seem like most actors do actually do that. I mean you don't want to just be a carbon copy of the comic character or the previous actresses that played them, but even for the sake of ego and knowing who you'll potentially be compared to.

Oddly, they cast a Brit to play the US version of Sally. She is better known to most people as Penny, Desmond's girlfriend on 'Lost.'
They made some odd changes, though some of them were due to the US show getting underway while the characters were still developing in the UK show. For instance, in the UK show, Jane likes to boast about how wild and adventurous she is but is revealed to have been lying about much of it. Not so for Jane Honda in the US. She is at least as wild as she claims. In one episode, she's doing her helicopter traffic reporter job and interacting with the anchors back at the studio. In the course of the scene it becomes clear that she has slept with both the male and the female halves of the anchor team.
One big problem they faced was that they couldn't just redo the existing episode from the UK because that would only get them halfway through the season and progress too fast for a show hoped to last long enough for a syndication package, where the really crazy money kicks in for the five year commitment. From what I've heard, the 'original' US episodes were often material that had been halfway developed for the UK show and dropped in favor of stronger ideas. NBC wasn't willing to make a big enough commitment to give the writers time to get their bearings on stretching out the arc of the series. IIRC, they pulled the plug after only three episodes aired, although ten were completed.
Apparently those episodes were sold to some foreign markets, because the copies I have include Norwegian hardsubs and there is no credit given to a fansub group.

If we're not counting previously written songs (that Sam Cooke song and "Shout"), that's the best song in the history of movie comedy, ever.

Just as well. The character was Lana Lang in name only. I've always wondered if there were some intended plots they never developed, considering they cast an actress who was plainly very, um, diverse. Kind of stood out like a sore thumb in a place like Smallville.
I don't know if they ever got around to filling in her history, because she became so annoying I started avoiding episodes where she figured heavily. The season where the opening credit sequence featured both Erica Durance and New and Improved Chloe (now with cleavage!) immediately raised my spirits because it was clear they intended to be rid of her. Whether she was pushed or jumped I've never heard.
