Well, according to whoever is in charge of the National (Insert Word) Day thingy, today is National Drink Beer Day. I'm pretty sure that's like every day for us morons. So drink up. Here are some more pics from Oktoberfest 2013. Guns Of The World

A little video to get you ready for Halloween.
Shishmaref, AK
Yesterday, CNN talked about the sinking village at Shishmaref, AK due to man caused climate change. Their so-called expert evidently does not realize that Shishmaref is a barrier island and is not familiar with what happens to barrier islands naturally. Nor is their expert familiar with NOAA's assessment of Shishmaref's problems.
Erosion at Shishmaref is somewhat unique along the islands because of its fetch exposure and high tidal prism, relatively intense infrastructure development during the 20th century, and because of multiple shoreline defense structures emplaced since the 1970s.Erosion rates along the island front exceed (and are not comparable with) those along adjacent sectors. Erosion is occurring along the entire island chain, but it is exacerbated at Sarichef Island [where Shishmaref is located] in part because of the hydrographic impacts of hard armoring of a sandy shoreface and permafrost degradation that is accelerated by infrastructure.
Ironically, the plight of the Inupiat Eskimo community on Shishmaref is man made. It was the Bureau Of Indian Affairs that moved them to the island instead of them just using it during the summer for hunting and fishing. It was never a permanent settlement.

Some people have nothing better to do than complain. Take this story for example. Concrete posts shaped like male genitalia the talk of Scott Township. I hope the guy that was offended never sees this list of other objects that may offend him.
Mercury Spill
I think I would've cleaned up a broken mercury thermometer myself instead of forking over $4K to have the city/state clean it up. Hope this lady does not have any CFL bulbs.

Doesn't sound like angry, put-upon, suffering Muslim victims. Just run-of-the-mill psychopaths, like the Columbine shooters.
An Irish Ranger and a retired soldier were met in the mall by two "Asians" and given rifles. The four of them rescued about 500 people and engaged the terrorists, who retreated when fired on. Surprise!
The Chinese are all over Kenya; I wonder if those were Chinese military intelligence officers. Who else would be in a mall, armed with a cache of long guns?
At any rate, al-Shabaab is going to face the Israelis soon. They're brave men when they're butchering unarmed civilians. I hope the IDF all wear helmet cams. The Muslim world needs to see footage of these fucks getting wiped out, screaming and begging for their lives as it happens.

Btw, you would have been proud/amused. I melted down in church today. Band rehearsal. We've recently made a lot of tech upgrades. Long overdue. But in the process they completely screwed up what I needed to do my job. I can still do it, but major pain in the ass.

Ahh Mercury spills.
You know, whenever an old Hg thermometer broke in our house, mom cleaned it up somehow and dumped it down the sink.
It's a very small amount of mercury really.
But on that note.
While working the student center in my school, I had an Hazmat team from OSHA or something come tearing down the hall.
Apparently a professor had knocked over an old mercury barometer, these things have just a ton of mercury in them.
Now my school is a Tier 1 research institution, which means we have our own hazmat team for the labs. But Mr. Weatherman didn't know that (I guess he skipped out his required training class).
So he called 911, which triggered an hazmat response from the government (even though our in house team is capable and approved to handle this.)
I'm told it cost the school "a lot" enough that the VP from the Environmental Safety department chewed the guy out for...well I left after hour 2.

Gee. Fighting with your own side about something. *taps chin* I don't remember anything like that happening anywhere else at all over the last week or so.
Let me ponder more. *ponders* Nope. Doesn't sound familiar at all.
My church does this huge Christmas program with a big light show and they recruit church members to program the lights to go along with the various songs.
I no longer go to the program because I truly thought I was going to throw up from all the flashy flashy blinky blinky all the time. It appears that each person thought they had to use every effect at the same time for every song.

Excuse me, MBV...as great as your one album of the 1990s was -- and dear god anyone here who hasn't heard Loveless has missed one of the most important records in rock history -- IT WAS ONE FRIGGIN' ALBUM AND YOU COULDN'T FOLLOW IT UP WITHOUT BANKRUPTING YOUR RECORD LABEL.
That said, the You Made Me Realise EP is nearly as good as Loveless. Came out in 1988, though. Wrong decade for this discussion.

Perhaps Smashing Pumpkins?
NIN?
Dream Theatre?
You have a right to like any/all of those groups, but I don't rate any of them that highly. Smashing Pumpkins in particular strike me as a near-total gyp, with only one truly great song ("1979"), the riff of which they actually stole from another, greater band and song (Husker Du's "What's Going On" -- check it out on YouTube, it's HILARIOUSLY OBVIOUS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdiZB-CSDP0 )
Pearl Jam is actually the best of the four you named IMO, even though I know Ace hates their guts. I don't really like Ten (ugh, mostly MOR rock masquerading as "alternative") but Vs., No Code and particularly Vitalogy are pretty great records. ("Corduroy" -- now that's an essentially flawless rock song.)
NIN is meh to me, and Dream Theater took all of the least interesting aspects of King Crimson 1972-1974 and made them even less interesting than that.

Throwing Muses were a pretty decent early '90s band actually. I also liked the side project their lead guitarist (Tanya Donelly) formed with the Pixies' Kim Deal - The Breeders.
BTW, the Pixies' first three releases (Come On Pilgrim EP, Surfer Rosa, Doolittle) are obligatory parts of the Torah of modern rock music. I'm just going to ASSUME that everyone here is familiar with them because dear lord if you're not you're like a heathen savage in the jungles of Polynesia who hasn't yet been exposed to Christ's message -- I weep for your soul.

The true story.
The Sharp Elbows was my invention.
Someone posted a pic of, iirc, #6 from Battlestar Galactica in a slinky red number. She was so haggard looking her face closely resembled Skelator with very nearly Jonah Hex cheek strips and a nose so bare of flesh the join of cartilage and bone was detectable.
And her elbows were so sharp they hooked.
So, as all the usual suspects were waxing themselves philosophic about how hot she looked in that pic, I commented that she had such sharp elbows that she could puncture a lung.
This, iirc, happened just after the "squachy" thing got going, for time period ref. The squachy thing wasn't mine. Shoulda been. I shoulda thought of that, but I didn't.

I hate to admit this but I think I am going to have to change my name to Molly Boehner K. Got totally sideswiped into the Susan G Koeman clusterfuck. Hubbys sister died a year ago from breast cancer. We had done the walk for 3 years before I found out about the abortion part. Talked my husband out of walking and refused to walk myself. Pissed off most his family ( no problem they hate me anyway). Well now that she is ashes in the Missouri river they (the foundation) realized that there is no more money coming in under her name. She was a HUGE money maker. They called her husband and dedicated an award in her name. So here we go again. I have been raked over the coals for saying no. Guess I'm going. ANd to make it worse I have to bring my world famous taco salad for lunch for all 200 walkers.

Tell each and every person that you serve it to that you hope they are fine that part of their donation goes to fund abortions for girls who have been statutorily raped and that the abortion providers refuse to comply with laws about reporting those rapes and are thus an accomplice to covering up those rapes. With a smile.
Assuming, of course, that you don't ever want to speak to that side of the family again.

I mean, the whole debut Garbage album starts with those iconic drumbeats from "Loveless" by MBV.
"Special" was ripped off of "Talk of the Town", although here Manson and the crew at least asked permission from Chrissie Hynde...
Garbage put out some fun stuff in the 1990s, but they skated dangerously close to "cover band" status.

Of course, it was Top 40 going for a shit that got me into following blues, so there's that.

I recently have been re-listening to 'Friction, Baby' and realizing that a few of the albums I had back in the 90's were some really good stuff. For some reason BTE managed to put some significant twang into their music while still rocking out.
The drumming is little too much on that album, though... it is perhaps its only flaw. The lyrical content is pretty neat, especially "Return of the Post Moderns"
Later on I figure out that they have some kind of conservative streak I didn't know/understand back then.

My absolute favorite nasal drone with sing-song cadence was Jeff Goldstein's "Citizen Journalist" video thing on HotAir where he appeared as both a hipster douchebag and "real murkin". Unfortunately, it seems to have slipped off into the void, but the fact that he could play both voices in a way that onlookers took to be convincing was a great send-up.

Metallica was an 80's band in my opinion.
They put out 4 of the best metal albums of all time in the 80's
Their Black Album came out in the 90's and is the only album that is worthy of their 80's albums.
Load, Reload, St. Anger and Death Magnetic are not very good.

This. Although I've usually heard #6 or #7. I have 3" target load shells in the nightstand, but just about anything will do the job inside 15 feet, which is the range you're talking in a home invasion. I would recommend a backup piece, your choice, lots of people like the Taurus Judge.

Both incorrect. Pump actions are susceptible to short stroking and jamming by people under stress, esp. those with less upper body strength.
Solid ball ammo will penetrate, frangible carbine ammo may actually be safer. Your mileage here will vary significantly on the circumstances. Just 'cause its only birdshot does not provide an excuse for not being aware of what is behind your target.

Excuse me? Just how many up close and personal shotgun wounds have you seen? Unless the guy is strung out on PCP, a direct hit from shotgun at that range will stop someone. Inside of 5 feet it will blow a hole through them even with birdshot. I'm also curious what you consider "proper professional training". Not everyone is cut out for Marine basic training, and whether or not you have a carry permit has no bearing on your ability to hit the target.

One of my favorite memories from earlier this year:
Unit BBQ in Japan. (Never trust a bunch of nerds to organize one, BTW.) Pooky's major comes up to him, and she is drinking vodka straight from her water bottle. She wants to know WTF happened on the flightline. Apparently one of the associated guys to Pooky's unit walked onto a *secure aircraft* without Security Forces checking his ID and walked off the aircraft with some *very important stuff.* Now, it's his job, but it's also the job of SFers to check IDs. Pooky's major was, to put it nicely, pissed off, and she wanted details from Pooky, cuz I swear, no one can take a friggin dump in that friggin unit without clearing it past SSG Pooky. She got on the phone to the commander of the SFers and told them that if they didn't clean up their act, she was going to the base commander. Those SFers practically got out magnifying glasses the next time Pooky got on the aircraft.
So yes, there are still good AF officers out there.

You will be able to get training and be able to rent one of the many firearms most ranges have.
You will be able to get a feel for whether a rifle, shotgun or handgun is the better fit for your home protection.
You will also be able to buy the firearm you have been training with or you can buy new.
Either way join a range first.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
The deal is, there's a guy we found out about from the BH's sister, who was a social worker in an adjacent county....who had a "monitor and aid" on this guy's niece....but, anyway, we connected up with Roberto almost 20 years ago -- and he's been our "go-to guy" for non-technical projects ever since.
He's actually legal (per the other county's records), although I end up talking with him in Spanish. He's from Guatemala, but lives in Redwood City. I suspect that he may actually be illiterate [he seldom writes things, and usually only numbers] -- though his daughters in Guatemala are teachers. But he is smart as a whip, works like a horse, and gets more done while others are oscillating randomly and whining about working conditions than the others will accomplish in an entire day.
Anyway, whenever I really want to get my ass kicked, I have Roberto over for a day. He does about five times the work I do (he's older than I am, BTW) while inspiring me to do half-again the work I'd do alone. We have an odd dynamic that blows up the usual "contractor/employee" thing -- he often brings his own tools and knows how to do things that I don't.....but I frequently have tricky schemes that wouldn't have occurred to him and odd tools that he's never seen (and sometimes outright refuses to use). This sometimes leads to odd standoffs -- like today, when I told him he wasn't going to use my table saw to cut plywood without the guards in place.
When I move from California to Tennessee or North Carolina, Roberto is going to be one of the most difficult goodbyes.

I didn't say it wouldn't/couldn't penetrate a wall. I said less likely to do lethal damage if it did.
There's no magic bullet in guns for home defense, but risk can be mitigated.

At the top end of mine (before I started selling stuff), I'd say I had approximately 850 titles, 90% of which were CDs. While I don't need to get all of them back, I'd like to get the classics back eventually...
which I'm hoping will be especially do-able in the next few years, now that Amazon and brick-and-mortar stores are practically giving away CDs to make room for other stuff.

I made the mistake of reading the comments under the chart.
Apparently he's taking artwork from elsewhere and stitching it together. So while it's an impressive piece of work, he's not claiming completeness.
Also, I get the feeling that if you really want to see something added, sending him a hi-res image would help.

I'm not talking about changing to suit her. Even if you could do that just to be with someone, who you are will always re-emerge at some point. The fighting starts about 5 minutes later.
We all know things we ought to do to "better" ourselves one way or another. Say read more, or learn to play an instrument. Maybe take up amateur experimental brain surgery.
Possibly start going to the gym.
I'm pretty sure you're using "thenceforth" correctly, but I'm too lazy too look it up. Which means I need to take my own advice toward self-betterment.

Sometimes, though, you want to notice how there's this beautiful woman who notices you. And you wonder why, not because it's a trick, but because it's inexplicable.
Maybe she's not only beautiful, she's a nice, friendly person. Because she is.
And I love that.

Then I got to seeing a psychologist who was attractive, while I was dealing with all this anger and pain. Her response: she didn't blame the woman who got me fired, because "women can't be friends with men who find them attractive." But I know for a fact that if I had said fine, screw it, and asked the woman who got me fired out on a date, that only would have hastened her getting me fired.
So, I got the message loud and clear. *People like me aren't allowed to know attractive women.* Not allowed to be friends, not allowed to date, not allowed to work with. Period.
I frankly give up.

Tabby killings--the best cat I ever lived with was a male tabby named Orbison. One day I came home and there he was, with his beatific smile...in front of a bunny body and head, in separate areas.
His face was totally "Dude, you are SO good to us...so I made DINNER! No need to thank me!"

And what's more frustrating is I can't even get any empathy for it. I live in a notoriously unempathetic family, and I've always been blamed for everything bad that's ever happened to me, regardless of the facts of the situation, and that's just they way they are.
I've also learned the hard way that most attractive women don't have any. They always get what they want, so why should they give a shit?
So like I've said before, I don't care about women anymore. I'm not going to be chivalrous and I'm not going to be a nice guy. At my next job, I'm going to be Mr. Professional and Courteous, and that's it. But don't bother telling me about yourself because I don't care, and don't bother trying to find anything out about me, because I'm just going to brush you off.

Too late. Since this is an infestation of what looks to be fly larvae, I would think it would be hard to prevent further issues, especially with an outdoor cat. Have you asked a vet about the how effective the flea / tick meds would be for prevention of future infestations.
(Not a pet person - just seen how fast fleas came off a cat after Frontline was applied once)

If someone told me "Okay, the first thing you need to do to train for your profession is to catch a golden eagle", I would seriously reconsider my employment choices.
So I'm sitting in Manas airbase with a couple other captains waiting for a flight home, and we get to talking about the mural on the wall of the dining facility showing a man with his horses, his yurts and his bird. We all agree that is the life, your yurt, your horses and your falcon to hunt with. My buddy Keith says, "That falcon looks awfully big. I guess they really love them." The next day he comes up to us and says, "Guys, it's not a falcon. It's a fucking eagle. I want this life: to live in a yurt, ride horses, and hunt with a fucking eagle!"

To The Dude
A question concerning games, since I won't be awake when you post the gaming thread.
Do you think it's possible to insert subliminal type messaging into todays games?
I ask because of 2 separate incidents with games and behaviour
1st was several yrs ago. My wife would get very strange dreams when she played Duke Nukem. Get rid of the game - dreams go away. If she later tried the game again, more strange dreams. Rinse and repeat.
2nd now. Several kids that we know, including my own, started having behaviour problems when they started playing Minecraft. Similar to the Duke Nukem - get rid of game, issues clear up. Again if gameplay restarted, issues come right back.

I've been seeing it....she's starting to see it. I just hope we can get out of our current place at the "top of the market."
In case you're wondering about the "top of the market" quotes.....when TSHTF, real estate will crash -- but not the same way across all markets. Right now, our Silicon Valley house could be a 5-acre ranch and six rental houses in Knoxville, TN.....but when the bubble pops, it might swap even with a 5-acre ranch and nothing more. If you swapped now, you could swap backwards later and have six "free" rentals in Knoxville.
