.jpg" width="250">NSA officers spy on love interests. LOVEINT. Oh I'm sure there is a lot of that going on and then some. I'm sure some POLINT is happening too. One would be naive to think it isn't, especially when you see what is happening at the IRS and what has happened to such people as Joe the Plumber, Christine O'Donnell and even the Presidential candidates in 2008 when a State Department employee improperly accessed their passport files. Oversight is a joke and nobody is punished. We're only seeing the tip of the iceberg with all of this stuff. Can't wait for the ObamaCare navigators that have had no background checks and little to no training to begin handling your PII (personally identifiable information), your medical history and records, your IRS records, financial data, criminal records, etc. Hell, census workers have more training. Bacon Bar
Oh. My. A bacon bar. Damn. Why did it have to be in Chicago? Here's the menu. I want to try the bacon peanut brittle.
Historic Uses Of Urine
From gunpowder to teeth whitener: The Science Behind Historic Uses Of Urine.
Even though early Europeans knew about soap, many launderers preferred to use urine for its ammonia to get tough stains out of cloth. In fact, in ancient Rome, vessels for collecting urine were commonplace on streets–passers-by would relieve themselves into them and when the vats were full their contents were taken to a fullonica (a laundry), diluted with water and poured over dirty clothes. A worker would stand in the tub of urine and stomp on the clothes, similar to modern washing machine’s agitator.
1911 Pistol
This pistol has fought in every American war for a century. I love the 1911 pistol.
What Apple is to consumer electronics, John Browning was to late 19th and early 20th century firearms. The 1911 is his most famous design. The typical 1911 is 8.25 inches from tip to tail and weighs 2.49 pounds empty — about as much as a trade paperback book. The 1911 is made of steel, steel and more steel, and takes a magazine that holds seven bullets.The 1911 has seen service in World War I, Mexico, Haiti, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic (twice), Lebanon, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, Iran, Grenada, Panama, the Gulf War, the Iraq War and Afghanistan. It has chased bad men from Pancho Villa to Osama Bin Laden.

Jewish Food Weaponry
It's a bit complicated just to get a piece of apple in some honey but who cares, it involves a crossbow! Israeli engineering students develop unique way to dip apples in honey. Video at the link.
B-24 Ball Turret View
It's a long video but pretty sweet. GoPro video shows point of view from the retractable ball turret of a B-24 bomber.
Liberals Taking A Swing At Churchill
Sir Winston Churchill was a drunken bullshitter - BBC helps to rewrite history.
It's no secret that Churchill had a speech defect which was apparent when he was drunk or sober. He also enjoyed a tipple and was often three sheets to the wind in the House of Commons; whether these had any negative affect on his wartime leadership or the reception of his speeches, is not proven.In his desperation to justify these assertions this professor claims that his research revealed that when Singapore fell to Japan in 1942 one Londoner said that Churchill's rallying speech was "f*****g b******t and a f*****g coverup". The professor doesn't enlighten us on what the other eight million Londoners had to say.
This is obviously a rewriting of traditional history that paints Churchill as a great war leader and his speeches as inspirational oratory that kept the morale of the nation high during the dark days of Hitler's blitzkrieg across Europe, when Great Britain stood alone. Churchill possessed all the characteristics and values that self loathing 'progressives' despise. Patriotism, Christianity, Imperialism, free enterprise etc. The combative content of his speeches are enough to send any socialist, hippy, peacenick, or CND supporter into fits of apoplexy.
Detroit Wildlife
Looks like roving packs of stray dogs isn't enough for Detroit. How about some big cats too?
Ambling down the block a couple of weeks ago with his 1-year-old daughter perched on his shoulders, Antwaun Asberry sensed something was behind him.He turned around and spotted a tall creature that appeared to be a cat, only a lot bigger.
“His tail is longer than my arm,” Asberry, a 6-foot-5 Detroiter with a lanky build, said of the cat. “I was like, what the (expletive) ... I don’t know what it is. I just want it gone.”

God bless the AC-130.
When I was going on mid-tour leave, we caught a late-night flight up to Bagram and were dropped off on the opposite side of the airfield from where were supposed to be. Got to watch the AC-130s taxiing in from their night missions.

Four-legged feral predators are bad. Especially when the State discourages you from shooting them.
The two-legged feral predators are infinitely worse. Especially given that the State will not only discourage you from shooting them, but even if you shoot one in dire last-second bleeding-and-beaten fear-of-your-life self defense, the State will try to prosecute you for murder. cf. ZIMMERMAN, George.

Sorry, but I don't have much sympathy for someone that dumb.
Let's see.
"In her artistic endeavors and with an interest in the human body, plaintiff [Ms March] has, from time to time, had professional and privately made nude photographs of herself which she stored on her personal computer for private, personal and professional reference and use.”
Yep, no sympathy here.

They'd never heard of the "Slapweasel Crown", even after I'd called them for the 1,045th time. Perhaps I was obsessed. Perhaps it was passion. Perhaps they blocked me because "Brittany" had heard everything I had to say. I don't know.

It is in all likelihood a Tok, BUT could be a Chinese copy of the 1911 chambered in either 7.62*25 or 9mm....
the Sov Toks are superior in finishing such as it is but they are both solid hybrids and Product Improved 1911/HP-25 based sidearms with simple sights and actions.

I don't know if they are all Tokarevs or Makarovs or what, but I chatted for a while with a guy who (plausibly) claimed to have been a LRRP during the Late Unpleasantness 1965-1975 in Southeast Asia.
They were originally issued the then standard .45 sidearm but found that after a week in the heat and moisture of the monsoon jungle, corrosion became an issue. As in, serious, won't feed, won't fire, won't rack, oh-shit issue.
I said, "Oil the thing, why dontcha?"
He said that was the first thought he had, but one of the older hands told him to knock it off. There were certain things the North Viets could reliably *smell* at tactical ambush distances, and one of them was the U.S. Army issue gun oil of the era.
(Other things they could smell? American tobacco smoke. And sweat from people who had been consuming dairy products. I kid you not. So, no Marlboros and no milk in the LRRPs.)
They all took to carrying captured NVA pistols, which handled the conditions better and did not have any giveaway scents. Also, he said the primers in the enemy ammo were more durable in those specialized backcountry situations.

I think it's urea, not uric acid. Not that it matters to me. Any vehicle that requires me to put monkey piss in a tank to make the exhaust smell sweet is not going to darken my gravel driveway.

Other computer techs should not only paste this shitbird's picture up everywhere as a "never hire," but should punch him every time they see him.
It is not well-known, but we *do* have a code of ethics, and we're *supposed* to be better than journolists and actually obey the key strictures.
I mean, seriously, someone who bitches about the NSA (as pretty much all techs will) and creeps around someone else's personal data needs a good solid punch in their stupid fat cakehole every now and then.

It's normal in the era of the higher education implosion, to be sure.
As of about two weeks ago, aggregate college loan debt in the USA topped $1.2 trillion dollars.
I find that people's eyeballs start to spin like the wheels on cheap slot machines when I bring up quantities with a trillion attached, so here are three comparisons to put that figure in perspective.
(a) $1.2T is more money than the original 2009 Obama economic "stimulus" program. Which was itself more money than the 1950s Eisenhower interstate highway program and the 1960s Kennedy lunar landing program _combined_.
(b) $1.2T is more money than the total consumer credit card debt in the USA.
(c) $1.2T is more than twice the baseline fiscal year 2012 defense budget.
American colleges and universities are sucking in ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HUGE amounts of tuition money. Risk-free money, from their perspective. But the marks are starting to get wise to the scam, for the first time in a while.
If I were an administrator at one of those schools, and if I were a soulless greedy shithead, I would be offering admission to anyone with even a faint pulse. And I'd be sweetening the pot with bogus "scholarships" along the way to plant the hook.
Remind yourself, and your son, that student loan debt is not dischargeable. Not even in bankruptcy. And yes, that includes YOU if you co-sign his loans for him.

I've heard a comedian talk about eating Guinea Pig in South America. His bit was about he didn't like it. Thank God. Because what if he had and he loved it. Always going into pet shops. "I don't know what to say they just keep dying. Oh I'll take him he looks delicious- cute! I meant cute!"

Update. I'll have to take another photo. Just last week he had it coated with some variety of copper paint. Reminds of bottom paint used on boats. Apparently there is some process by which the paint can be aged to dark oxidized copper appearence.
Aside from that what can I tell you? It's an observatory. Opens, rotates.

At least someone has a clue about that.
I've had this conversation a few times with clueless liberal urbanites.
"Well, if something goes badly wrong, and there's no food in the stores, we'll have to go break into the warehouses."
"Really? Where's the nearest food warehouse you know of?"
"Um..." (pulling out iPhone)
"Don't bother to ask Siri. I can tell you that there are none near here. There used to be, but there aren't any any longer. Those places that used to be food warehouses are now yuppie loft condos."
"But the government! The government has emergency food supplies. In like, um, underground bunkers. Fallout shelters."
"No. Sorry. Wrong again. The government used to maintain extensive food supplies, by law, for everyone in the CONUS, during the Cold War years. A full year's worth. Then the Cold War ended and Bill Clinton got rid of all that. Peace dividend and all. There are still underground bunkers with food supplies, of course. For government bigwigs. Not for you. So, whatcha gonna do to eat?"
"Um...."
"I recommend you go to the yuppie loft condos. Free-range organic long pig. You do have a gun to shoot them with? No? You don't even know how a gun works? Oh. Oh dear. Well, guess you'll be losing some weight."

My only antenna, aside from a 2M J-pole in the attic, has been an 80M wire loop. You can't even see it from more than 20' away, so no complaints. As to the observatory..., no one expected it, and it is part of the upper structure of the house. The house itself was built in the 1920's, and the addition was made during a massive re-hab, which is really quite tasteful, and in-period. I'm with you on the death-ray. Much more interesting (with all due respect to CAC, et al) than mere gazing.

If he does, are all those NATO ships sailing into an ambush?
I don't think Putin would fire first if he has them, but if the NATO fleet sinks his only carrier ....

I dropped a pair of wild pit bulls that were terrorizing the neighborhood some years ago, but was pretty discrete about it - .22's, one aimed head shot each through the eye socket.
Even being as careful as I was, I was a little concerned some cops might roll up on me, and I'd waited about a month for just the right conditions, situation, and clear/safe backstops to even attempt those two shots.
Taking guaranteed safe kill shots in a residential area isn't a spur of the moment kinda thing.

Russia have a shit-ton of good old low technology contact mines sitting around.
And quite quiet diesel-electric subs to lay those mines in fields.
No need to pull out the ace up the sleeve hypersonic voodoo ninja missile stuff when the good old vintage military technology can absolutely give NATO navies, and for that matter the U.S. Navy, a case of the shaking fits. They barely train for that stuff these days.
Not to mention the plausible deniability.
"Gosh, your shiny new LCS got its keel broke and sank with all hands in under a minute. Too bad. Must have been one of those leftover World War I mines that sometimes pop off the bottom. Too bad, so sad. We'll send flowers."

I dropped a pair of wild pit bulls that were terrorizing the neighborhood some years ago, but was pretty discrete about it - .22's, one aimed head shot each through the eye socket.
Even being as careful as I was, I was a little concerned some cops might roll up on me, and I'd waited about a month for just the right conditions, situation, and clear/safe backstops to even attempt those two shots.
Taking guaranteed safe kill shots in a residential area isn't a spur of the moment kinda thing.

Given time and resources, you should always judge for yourself. If nothing else it's good practice, and even good crowds can be wrong.
But, come on, this was just grotesquely obvious. I mean, yeah, it might not *literally* be a Moby, it might just be a kind of frustrated proto-bigot lashing out. But the pattern could practically have been copied from the last half-dozen.
Or, of course, Average Dumbass drunk and entertaining itself. But, you know, maybe a little clumsy for that.

458 Name two "regulars" who have been treated as you claim Right. Well mr. detective if I was trying to hide from you I would have hidden my hash. What does that tell you?
Peaches identifed me a rapist numerous times right here on this blog. Mebbe one such as yourself is cool with that, mebbe you think that is acceptable behavior, but I don't. Tell me if that's cool or not in your universe and let your true self be known- I already know who I am. It's cool if you like to picture her in her underwear or out of it, you may like her faux-sexy talk to a bunch of married men, but it's just not my style. Maybe that's a fetish you can cherish for yourself. Of course the many site super-betas come rushing to her rescue. Sad really but they are as God made them. She picks fights and in general acts like a shit often enough; ask BCochran.
But you'll come bravely riding to the rescue if there's a "vulgar slur". Welcome to some enlightenment about who ya really are, son.
Why does little mero come to mommy's defense so eagerly? Are there some mother issues mero might benefit from talking to someone about?
I would never defend a racist but thanks for the slander. You're a good little self-elected hall monitor. Maybe I missed it but I wasn't seeing what a few others did in what truthteller said. I hope I just missed it because I honestly didn't see it.
I don't "sling shit" I just don't kiss the ass of any regulars. If that's the secret of your success, your go-to approach, more power to ya I guess. If you want to refer to a bunch of internet stranger-ladies as your "queen", be my guest. Not my style, but I accept it. I accord mad respect to the many here who neither play those little games or expect me to either. The rest i put up with.
I've been around long enough to have seen about every group come under ridicule and have questionable things said about it here. Seeing a bunch of movable goalposts. That's fine, just genuinely trying to understand.
That's two of others' conflicts you've butted into now. Who'd you say you were? HAHAHA

$1 first would be a major mistake. Someone else will bid $2 or 50. Being first is basically your "penalty" for being the newest one on stage. You go first and everyone else has been up on stage for a bit. It would suck to never get the chance to pick last, or to be the very last person called to come on stage to bid.

572 And of course the literary basis for human and robot cops team is Asimov's Caves of Steel. (I think that was the first appearance of the characters.) Harlan Ellison had a development deal around a show that never got made but the producers tried to do a similar show without him and he sued. Repeatedly. They just couldn't get it through their heads that he was paying attention.

I read that response through a couple of times, thinking about a variety of witty responses from appropriate socks.....and I'm going with: "You didn't know guys (particularly adolescent guys) were complete horndogs 25 years ago?!?!? I mean -- so far as I can tell, it is a state secret on the level of 'the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.' And as the godfather of a young lady in college, please let me know what educated you so I can do something before she gets educated herself, 'cause she seems awfully damned naive and I worry."

The car ran fine, but its acceleration was a bit on the modest side with the turbo pushing and the injectors acting like it was a non-turbo model and not goosing the fuel flow a bit

Polliwog I'm late to the show and maybe you're gone but I checked out most all of the electricity providers in the Houston area and Amigo Energy had the best combination of rate and rate duration I found. $0.09/KWH for a 24 month duration. I have had no issues at all with them. I live about 50 miles west of Houston so they are out in the country too.
Someone said they though HL&P was now Centerpoint. Not right. HL&P is still HL&P. Centerpoint is the company who services all the lines and meters, no matter who the electricity provider is.

My father died in 1977 and was still getting junk mail in 1996. It may have kept up after that, for all I know, but the address was no longer in the family.
Also, the family name would often be changed to Robins by people who assumed the correct name was a typo. Worse, my mother Herma, would be 'corrected' to be Herman. So mail came for many years for Herman Robins. This in turn meant that many companies thought there was a married couple name Allen and Herman Robins at our address. So I guess in advertising they've always been very accepting of gay marriage, so long as both participants didn't actually exist.

Among the most remarkable features of the house are the parquet floors. One craftsman worked for thirty-three years doing nothing but building, installing, and tearing up the floors! They are made of mahogany, rosewood, teak, maple, oak and white ash, arranged in impressive mosaics. Mrs. WinchesterÂ’s favorite bedroom, the one in which she died, has a notably special floor. It is laid so that the sunlight streaming through the windows appears to change the dark strips to light, and then back again, when viewed from the opposite ends of the room.

It's time for another dispatch from the land of spiderweb-cracked blast shields and "Oh well, I never liked that fume hood, anyway". Today we have a fine compound from this line of work, part of a series derived from N-amino azidotetrazole. The reasonable response to that statement is "Now hold it right there", because most chemists will take one look at that name and start making get-it-away-from-me gestures.

The story was set twenty-something years after a strange event occurred. One day, about 98% of humanity simply disappeared without a trace. No corpses. Nothing. This left the remnant population understandably freaked and many of them in the area near San Jose began to converge on the Winchester House and take up residence around it, with some of them restarting the endless construction. Also, the children born after the event had oddly metallic colored hair but were seemingly normal in every other way the remnants were able to discern.
The main character is a young woman who was possibly the first birth after the disappearance. The story gets into a lot of quantum mechanics Schrodinger scenarios. I wish I could remember more. I suppose the author didn't do much else or died, as I don't think I've seen anything else from the person and the book is long out of print.

Trapped moisture under clear finishes will produce a milky white cloudish look.
If I pressure washed concrete, that shit's gonna be drying out for days, not hours. Bare concrete is water permeable like a sponge
The Behr - Wet Look Sealant looks to be a water based acrylic (like a lot of kitchen floor acrylic finishes) since they specify soap/water cleanup procedures.
The problem is the acrylic is a plasticy'ish material and as it polymerizes its gonna start locking trapped moisture in (and turn cloudy).
That's why they say don't apply it in direct sun (even when temp/humidity are OK) -- it'll polymerize too quick and still trap moisture.
Inside, where you have some control over a room, you can drop the humidity with a dehumidifier.

Might be a skosh of ammonia in it as an adhesion aid to cut any trace surface oils left over that settle out of the air.
When I prime old concrete with a latex primer, I'll thin the crap out of it with ammonia. It soaks in a lot better forming a mechanical bond rather than laying on the surface and even sticks pretty good over old stubborn oil spot remains on a garage floor that even an acid etch won't remove. subsequent coats can go to a more normal mix

I've had similar experiences in my career, such as it is. When I was doing tech support for DSL Extreme, I once had to figure an email problem that required me to see some of the messages first hand to determine if it was a client side issue. It seems the customer's primary reason for having an email account was to receive massive amounts of gay porn images.
Another memorable occasion was repairing the home system of a long time client of my boss, a small accounting business. It turned out most of the material on the drive was from their kid. This including a complete set of Traci Lord's underage porn career, a variety of script kiddie tools including some for executing credit card fraud. I was torn over whether I should say anything about this stuff but I decided that I had an obligation to warn them that the underage porn was flat out illegal to possess and the rest of the stuff could lead to even worse trouble for them. They were a bit shocked to find out what the kid had been into.

On a domain connected system where the user couldn't install anything, there would be no need or reason to look. With a home machine it can be a huge time waster if you restore a machine and the first thing they do when they take it home is run the same crap that trashed it in the first place.

In my last job there were two such incidents, one was an idiot and the material was not really that offensive, we just locked everything down and made their remote system more of a dumb terminal. Don't know or care what happened between them and their boss.
The second case there was nothing to find, just a suspicious boss.
And yes, the target of the suspicions was the only conservative in the department, why do you ask?
And no, we didn't cover anything, didn't need to. It was just office politics. We logged their traffic and history and presented it to the boss. Nothing came of it.Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith [/i] [/b] [/s] [/u] at August 25, 2013 12:49 AM (qyfb5)

Still, some of my fave scenes and top notch editing. Very entertaining.

As for Detroit, the enviromentalist whackos must be elated! It's reverting to nature and helping extinct animals come back.
