Twenty six US Navy ship naming controversies. It's only gotten worse these last 5 years. I'd stick to naming them after famous battles, states, and cities. And really cool names like Devastator, Executor, etc.
Although, it sounds like it wont' be too much of a problem going forward with budget cuts and shipbuilding in decline.
The bottom line remains the same: the Navy is retiring more ships than it plans to build in the PresidentÂ’s 2014 budget request. Over the next five years, the Navy hopes to build 41 ships -- that is if sequestration is repealed or replaced -- but will retire 42 during the same period.Whereas two years ago the administration planned to build 57 ships over five years, last yearÂ’s plan shrank to 41 new ships. This yearÂ’s five-year plan treads water at 41 new construction ships again.
Drug Mule
How much cocaine can you fit in your body?
Typically a packer or mule will carry about 50-100 of these packets, but folks have been caught carrying in excess of 200--as much as five pounds, concealed in the gastrointestinal tract.
Backup Irony
I bet this dude is rethinking his thesis on the dangers of cloud computing when someone steals his laptop with the only copy of his thesis.
Iranian Air Force
Heh. F-14, F-4 and F-5 jets: not the US Navy of the 70's but Iranian Air Force of today. Still pretty sweet to see a Tomcat.
Drunkest Countries
The top 25 drunkest countries. It's like all of Europe and Russia with South Korea being the lone Asian country. The US placed #56 with 2.49 gal/per person. Clearly, this is another reason why we need to curtail immigration.
Speaking of drinking, I need to find out if my local PD is doing this. Drunk volunteers help police train in Suffolk county.
Sniper App
An app that uses a smartphone, microphones and shockwave sensors to locate a sniper. Hmmm. They say it will be good for dignitary protection but that is only true if the sniper misses the first shot and actually sticks around after firing.

And the US Navy has not crowned itself with laurels because there will only be three Zumwalts built. Just like there are only three Sea Wolf class SSNs.
The LCS is a two ship concept in search of a mission if their technology ever works. Thus the Arleigh Burkes are still being built, though the Navy needs a new ASW-centric ship. The early Yorktown CGs have already been retired.
With retirement of Enterprise the US Navy is down to ten carriers and Congress has been giving them a pass, so now have ten mobile airfields to cover seven oceans. And Ford is still a couple years out.

Well, it's been a long week, and about to get longer - the wife "found" a puppy (and yes, we already have a dog).
It's a shaggy, furry little..
Shih Tzu. Gawd, is it cute. White with black mask and markings.
I'll probably have to sleep with it downstairs or something...
G'night.

years ago but I've not seen any that look as good as Brooks.

Yeah, it might have been a low blow. Sort of like someone cracking that Obama attended a Kurtis Gosnell post-birth abortion. Only that Obama is closely tied to infanticide while Bachmann has no connection to book burning.

Once he got the Tonight Show, Max and the band didn't come along, and all of a sudden, Conan started sucking hard

This is one among many reasons why Yuengling kicks ass.

Heh . . . I have a friend who believes we should implement water rationing because in the summer, the region withdraws 150 million of water from the aquifer per day. I say, but a billion gallons flows through the aquifer per day, and another half-billion through the rivers, and besides, half of what's withdrawn returns to the aquifer. He says, but 150 million gallons is a lot, so we need to ration water.

In the United Kingdom, a Chesterfield is a deep buttoned sofa, with arms and back of the same height. It is usually made from leather and the term Chesterfield in British English is only applied to this type of sofa. The word chesterfield was used to describe a couch in the 1900s. The first leather chesterfield sofa, with its distinctive deep buttoned, quilted leather upholstery and lower seat base, was commissioned by Phillip Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773). The word Chesterfield may now refer to any sofa, settee or couch with the button and quilting used on this particular sofa design.
In Canada, the term 'chesterfield' is equivalent to a couch or sofa. The use of the term has been found to be widespread among older Canadians. This term is quickly vanishing from Canadian English according to one survey done in the Golden Horseshoe region of Ontario in 1992. Northern California is the only place besides Canada where 'chesterfield' is a synonym for couch or sofa.

Best Buy Deal of the Day has the Windows 8 Pro Upgrade package for $80. What they don't mention in the e-mail or even on the web page, is that if you add this item to your cart, Best Buy throws in a FREE Microsoft Sculpt Bluetooth Mouse that carries an MSRP of $50.
You can find the mouse plenty of places for $30 but this still makes it a great deal if you plan on building a new system any time soon, as I do. The upgrade just means you need to install XP, Vista, or Windows 7 on the machine first. No need to activate or even get all of the drivers in place. That is enough to pass the upgrade requirements. (It used to be you just had to insert the disc from an eligible version of Windows for a moment but they changed that IIRC.)

I used to know Chesterfield was a sofa. Google-image shows some mighty fancy Chesterfields.
As a kid, we still heard ice-box from the elders and used the term. I never saw a real one with ice delivery man until we were camping up in Washington.
"Fridge" was not short for "refrigerator"; it came from the popular brand "Frigidaire." Actual Internet-derived factoid.
And yeah I heard Hoovering too. (Also used in reference to what we now might call Fluking.) But I'm an armchair student of language, especially Anglo-American differences, due to, like, Beatles, the British Invasion, and maybe a high-school female English penpal. Who eventually dropped me after revealing she was years younger than she had claimed. Boot! Spanner! Lorry! Lift!

Not but what SoCal ain't full of whackos, too, but they are truly batshit up north, and militant to boot.
Agreed. I will put our whackos up against any in the world. They are world class. If there were a whacko draft, it would draw exclusively from Marin County, and Berkeley. Ann Arbor and Madison only think they could compete.

Splunge and Thorvald, you are correct. As a former jock I never paid attention to that sort of thing and it's come back to bite me. So I am learning as I go.
I'll be happy if I get to stick around a bit longer for those that need me so info that helps is always welcome.

I'll probably lose my man card AND posting privileges here for saying it, but I actually have a lot of admiration and respect for... Richard Simmons.
Sure, he wears pantyhose under his shorts. But he also really truly seems to care about improving health and fitness. He's a small business owner (a Beverly Hills small business owner, but still...) of a successful gym, Slimmons. From what I've read, he's a devout Catholic (although he doesn't advertise it). And I have yet to see/hear of him trying to use government to try to force healthy choices on people. He just continues to make his pitches for health and fitness, doesn't constantly have a video or book to hawk, and doesn't appear to subscribe to anything but the basic common-sense information: if you wanna lose weight, ya gotta (1) eat less junk and (2) exercise more often.
Am I wrong? Anybody got any horror stories about meeting him or what not?

sybil's hubby, years ago I heard about a song by Sting called They Dance Alone. It's about holocaust survivors who lost their loved ones in WWII. At a certain time each year they would gather to dance by themselves with a picture of their loved one hanging around their necks.
I never quite understood it, but felt it was a beatiful thing in a sad way. The woman I with now, makes me understand.
I wish you all the luck, patience, and courage it takes for you to get through it all.

I'm enjoying a piping hot bowl of gruel.
No, seriously. I made it from this recipe:
http://www.medievalplus.com/food-cooking/recipes-gruel.html
I imagine medieval peasants were trying to stretch their grain as far as possible so they wouldn't run out.
See also the Wiki article:

Of course, I prefer ordinary oatmeal, with milk and fruit. I just wanted to do it just so's I can say I did.

My suggestions for firearms calibers:
.22, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .308, .30.06.
Then customize the hell out those firearms and stock up on ammo while you can.
Also, buy survival suplies . There is a storm a'comin'.

Navycopjoe, true, but there is an element of risk with such a strategy. Perhaps they are lying about having guns. I might despite having about 20 firearms myself.
Plus, they may have formed alliances with those that have firearms. Besides, who knows what suplies they have. You would be trusting your survival on the "intelligence and foresight" of others.

That for some reason reminds me of the revived Guardians of the Galaxy comic. Rocket Raccoon while attacking the crew of a Badoon ship repeatedly exclaims, "Blam! I murdered you!"

If it's below the fold, it might slide, but I think you probably ought to get some cover from on of the co-bloggers first.

Berserker, you seem to be a serious picker - does G&L make a Strat-style model with a neck that those of us who prefer the Gibson radius can play?
Posted by: StPatrick_TN at April 27, 2013 10:44 PM (un8zR)
Posted by: The Political Hat at April 27, 2013 10:52 PM (Vk2pI)
You know, I really don't know all that much about G&L. I'm basically a die hard Gibson and Jackson player. There are a few fender strats out there that do have the flatter radius, but even though they are flatter the scale is still longer than the gibson. If you don't mind the longer scale there are a few pretty nice strats out there with flatter boards and big frets that really play good.
Posted by: Berserker at April 27, 2013 11:07 PM (FMbng)
I've been a Gibson guy forever, since I have medium-sized hands and hang my thumb, so navigating the Fender boards can be an issue, along with the fact that I've always used 11s on top. On a Strat, that feels like barbed wire, whereas on an SG, it's just fine. I was just curious, because I'd love to find an instrument that has that great single-stack tone with playability for me. I like Teles just fine, but you can't beat the classic Strat quack.

yeah thats a toughie, because strats will never feel like a gibson. I do have a few strats here. The ones I have took a liking to is the american made highway 1 series. They discontinued them in 2011 but they are around if you look, especially on ebay. The 2002-2006 models have the smaller vintage style headstock and medium jumbo frets similar to what gibson has. The 2007-2011 models have the jumbo fret wire and larger headstock. Most of the ones I played were really good, there is a decent vintage vibe to them and they go for about $500 used. They are flatter radius. There is another strat out there with really nice necks, and its the black top series. They are made in mexico but they are really nice quality. I don't know wtf they do with the necks on those but they are high gloss and play fucking killer. I do have one, and I liked the neck so much I found 2 necks on ebay from the black tops that I bought for other projects. The only downside is they come with humbuckers, and not the single coils, but you can change the pickguard assembly, which is what I did with mine. They are about $450 new. Those are probably the cheapest option as far as a nice strat goes.

I'd say no simply because anyone interested in gaming has probably already seen it on the PA website.

Howdy CDR M,
Excellent set of links; thank you! . . . and thank you for your service to our country.
- gotta visit AoS more often; great site.
- nice to see F-14's flying; even better to know it's not likely they're able to keep avionics (esp that hugely powerful radar and FCS) and Phoenix missiles up to speed . . .
- I originally enlisted in '78, late in Carter tenure. He did lasting damage to our people, fleet and airframe inventory. Obama's trying to do the same now.
Best Regards,
CAPT Mike
