Okay look I know you're not gonna read any of this stuff plus I didn't feel like writing anything either but apparently there are these things called contractual obligations and damage clauses. So hows about you pretend this is real legit ONT, I make the blog mid-term nice and easy-peasy and Ace and his bastard lawyers are none the wiser. Dealio? Oh and if someone does blab, we're gonna all hunt you down and make your momma cry when she sees what was done to you.

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.
Only it's not rich individuals or companies - it's the other rich legal entities:
As the 10th richest man in America, Michael Bloomberg wields a personal fortune of a mere 18 billion dollars, but as the Mayor of the City of New York, he disposes of an annual budget of 63 billion dollars. In a single year, he disposes of three times his own net worth. A sum that would wipe out the net worth of any billionaire in America. That is the difference between the wealth wielded by the 10th wealthiest man in America, and the mayor of a single city. And that is the real concentration of wealth. Not in the hands of individuals, but at every level of government, from the municipal to the state houses to the White House.
...The big government left keeps playing the class warfare card, but for all their murmuring, it is not the top 1 percent that robs the middle-class blind and then sends them the bill. Even the worst company in the world isn't as larcenously extortionate as the politicians who spend and kick back, and then cry poverty and raise taxes. They shout that we need to raise taxes on the rich, and supposing that we do, where will that money go? Even if we strip that 1 percent of all their wealth and dress them up in barrels, is there anyone who does not believe that those in power will still contrive to spend it all and run up huge deficits anyway?
George F'in Will: DOMA is an Unconstitutional Abuse of Federalism
"[U]nder the Constitution, the regulation and control of marital and family relationships are reserved to the States."- U.S. Supreme Court,
Sherrer v. Sherrer (1948 )
Conservatives who supported DOMA should, after 17 years' reflection, want the act overturned because its purpose is constitutionally improper. Liberals who want the act struck down should be discomfited by the reason the court should give when doing this.DOMA, which in 1996 passed the House 342 to 67 and the Senate 85 to 14, defines marriage for the purpose of federal law as a legal union between one man and one woman.
...The question now is whether DOMA is "necessary and proper" for the exercise of a constitutionally enumerated congressional power. There is no such power pertaining to marriage. This subject is a state responsibility, a tradition established and validated by what can be called constitutional silence: The 10th Amendment says, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Federalism, properly respected, enables diversity as an alternative to a congressionally imposed, continent-wide moral uniformity. Allowing Washington to impose such conformity would ratify unprecedented federal supremacy regarding domestic relations, a power without judicially administrable limits. By striking down DOMA - by refusing to defer to Congress's usurpation of states' powers - the court would defer to 50 state governments, including the 38 that today prohibit same-sex marriage.
Whether you agree with DOMA or not - do you really want the federal government deciding matters of family and marriage?
Cyprus Now Approaching Confiscation
The new proposed 'haircut' for large account holders is 40%.
In the €10 billion, or $13 billion, bailout agreement announced Monday, only insured accounts up to ?100,000 were protected from taxation to help fund the bailout, with estimates that uninsured depositors with larger accounts could face losses of up to 40 percent.
And guess what Mr. Spain and Italy - you're now on the haircut list too.
Savings accounts in Spain, Italy and other European countries will be raided if needed to preserve Europe's single currency by propping up failing banks, a senior eurozone official has announced.
At this point a run on banks in the PIGS is the most rational course of action. If you want to undermine the entire banking system, this is exactly how you do it.
What to get if you don't want to take out a loan to buy an evil black gun or they simply aren't available. From my new favorite gun videobloggers.
The truth of the matter is that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good gun. You don't have to have a black rifle to be a good rifleman. Yes, an AR-15 or solid M1A can be a force multiplier in the proper hands, but it does not mean that you cannot properly defend yourself with the guns we show in this video
A Test of Your Humanity, Decency, and All Round Plus Goodness
Say you have a company, and you have two prospective workers.
- Worker A might, and is likely to, take on a condition wherein they will miss 6-12 months of work or more, and by law the employer must not only retain them as an employee, but pay them for the time they are gone.
- Worker B cannot suffer from this condition
If it were your money on the line which worker would you choose to hire or pay more to?
If you chose Worker B, you are very, very bad person who needs to be hated because you suck and you're bad.
An Interactive Movie That Interacts With the Audience
Or finally an excuse to play with your smartphone during a movie.
Notable exceptions aside, it's generally agreed upon that it's improper to check one's smartphone while watching a movie in a theater. The new Dutch thriller APP, however, encourages viewers to do so. The film's soundtrack contains a digital audio "watermark" - inaudible to human hearing - that causes exclusive supplemental content to appear on smartphones running the APP app.Directed by Bobby Boermans, the film centers around a young psychology student named Anna. The morning after a wild party, she awakens to find an app called IRIS (try spelling that backwards) installed on her phone. The all-knowing IRIS seems pretty helpful at first, but gradually turns nasty, sending compromising text messages, videos and photos to people on Anna's contacts list. Mayhem ensues when she tries to rectify the situation.
The real-life APP app allows viewers to see the trouble-making messages, etc. on their own phones, as the characters receive them in the movie. It also provides access to additional scenes, and background information regarding what's currently taking place on screen. The film reportedly still makes sense without that "second screen" content, however.
But nothing has yet to beat Polyester with its Odorama system. But avoid #7 unless you're really into cinematic realism.
If you're not into naked Asian chicks, don't click this link. And even if you are, you are still advised not to click it. Will you heed this counsel? Fuck no but I still try, God knows I try.

Not going to happen by Cypriots since the government (like most of Europe) disarmed the citizen serfs a long time ago.

Meh, I've seen this in my spam filter. Didn't bother reading it then either.
In other more interesting news the SCOAMF is on vacation again, his offspring vacationing on their own and god knows where the first wookie is. (At least I don't nor do I care.)
I can't wait to see what happens to the market tomorow when the bank runs start in Cyprus, good times, good times.
I have guns those guys didn't mention that are semiauto and will put a round downrange as well as any 30 cal, think pre-Druganov. I also tend to prefer early Russian equipment for its durability and ease of use.

"You were a tramp, weren't you . . . ?"
"Not a tramp," Thomas corrected gently, "a hobo."
"Sorry--what's the distinction?"
"A tramp is a bum, a parasite, a man that won't work. A hobo is an itenerant laborer. who prefers casual freedom to security. He works for his living, but won't be tied down to one environment."
Robert A. Heinlein
Sixth Column, 1949
In the coming burning times, may the hobos win the day.

And still, the 1% lets us have the illusion of freedom and allows us to vent on the Internet. Even though someone at the NSA is probably tracking the comments and can track anything seditious that is said back through our IP addresses.

I don't want the government to even pretend to have the right, inclination or ability to modify human nature and the English language to call a combination of homo buttsecks , adoption of minor victims without a choice, and a pretend ring ceremony "marriage".

If federalism limits DOMA from offering the same rights and privileges that married people enjoy, then shouldn't we ask; 'On what grounds does the federal government offer a different set of rights to married people that it does not offer to individuals?' If marriage is nothing more than a civil contract, how can the federal government impose advantages (or disadvantages) on people who engage in those contracts?
Never mind 'Marriage Equality'. What about individual equality?
I refuse to believe that simply through through a legal contract, a group of two or more people can petition the federal government for a different set of rights and privileges than any other American has. That would mean that the NAACP could create a contract that would guarantee them a special status too, complete with it's own set of rights and privileges. (Like public labor unions have done.)
Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of a republic when people of a certain class can gain a special status. It is a 'feudal' practice. It is the reason that this nation fought a revolution.

Ah, Mugabe, the gift that keeps on shivving. Now taking their radios...
I don't care much for the late Mayor of Detroit, Coleman Young, but he stuck it to Mugabe back in the 1980s when the latter came to get his keys to the city. Yeah, I know--Saddam Hussein also got them. No shit.
Anyway, according to Charlie LeDuff, in his magnificent "Detroit: An American Autopsy":
<i>Once, Robert Mugabe, the African revolutionary who would later become president of Zimbabwe, came to Detroit to receive the keys to the city. Mayor Young made him wait an inordinately long time for an audience.
[Then-aide Adolph] Mongo remembers it this way: an underling stepped into Young's office and said "Sir, you've got Robert Mugabe, the freedom fighter, sitting out there.
To which Young replied: "Fuck Robert Mugabe. This is Detroit."</i>

I can't lay on my stomach. I have had this since January 10, my doctor said it would take months to feel better. She said she had fractured hers in September and it still bothered her at the end of January.
It depends where I am. I am most comfortable at home. I have a very soft leather chair and walk barefoot and feel better when I work from home. I bring the computer into the kitchen.
It's much worse when I go to work, there is a lot a walking involved just from going to the garage to the office. I work in a large office building in Boston that opens into a mall. I have been asking people in my office to get me things to eat if they are going to the mall for lunch or something. It hurts more there, my chair is not soft like this one.
Thanks for the suggestion but I have chronic pain in my neck and lying on my stomach would make that worse.
I have found that sleeping sitting up in this chair is best. I bought it in 2005 and it's made for back and neck issues. It is one of the best things I have spent my money on. I have gotten my money's worth from this chair.

Believe me, I'm sympathetic -- and there are some interesting special circumstances....for instance, if you're "funemployed" to the point where your income tax is nearly bupkis, why not take the penalty tax in lieu of income tax? Myself, I converted some IRA stuff to Roth IRA in 2012 (some of which I'm going to put back since those despicable retards passed stuff in January).
But, as EC notes above, these are half-measures for dealing with a SHTF incident. Is your home defensible, or do you rely on the government to keep it safe -- doesn't really matter if you've got a mortgage if you can't defend it.

10% penalty tax right out of the box, gone, no way to avoid it. Then, a withholding tax based on your current income to date (which is why it's best to withdraw from a 401K in the first quarter); the're gonna withhold a minimum of 15% at the least.

Nothing but the complete destruction of your beliefs and total conformity with theirs is acceptable, will be good enough.
You gain no good will, no profit, no benefit by giving them this for any belief--ANY--that you hold as directed by God will, sooner or later, run afoul of their lifestyle of perversion. And they will sweep you away just as surely as they mean to sweep away religion today.

When I said that I got smoked pork at the supermarket for 50 cents/pound, no one cared.
When I asked for black eyed peas recipes, no one helped.
So I helped my own goddamn self.
1.25 lbs. smoked hog jowl, simmered in last week's left over New England boiled dinner broth (thrifty or cheap? - you be the judge!) for 1.5 hours.
Add one pound black eyed peas (previously soaked overnight), one diced onion, one diced green pepper, one (de-seeded) fresh green chili pepper.
Simmer for 2 hours or so more.
Taste hog jowl to see if still edible, or if all flavor has gone into the beans.
It's not just edible, it's sublime.
Similar to corned beef, actually. If corned beef tasted like bacon.
The actual peas are mighty tasty too, I might add.

Some of this is just old-fashioned stuff. My dad taught me that you always have a well-stocked ice chest for workers on your property (not necessarily alcoholic), and it's good to have donuts or fruit in the morning. I still remember the patio guy calling at 9 am and going "where the hell are my guys?"
I said, "I thought they worked for you -- they're over here finishing my patio." He replied, "I thought they worked for me, too -- but they're scheduled to be over at the other job where I'm standing. And they're not."
Anyway, if disaster hits -- like a tree falls across your driveway or something tears a hole in your roof -- you are much more likely to get *immediate* attention if you can say, "you'll earn a handful of silver and a case of beer" than if you only say "I've got some silver."

To be fair, Burtonizing was invented to make matching ales at many sites. Bass was made at several places in England even before foreign brewing (see Lord Peter Wimsey in East Anglia). Guinness is brewed in Canada and the US (but it was also made in the far east decades ago). And I guess everybody knows by now that Fosters is made in Fort Worth, right?
I don't mind. I resent paying transoceanic prices for local beer, though. It also pisses me off when a restaurant lists Sam Adams under "imports."

Posted by: The Dude at March 27, 2013 12:29 AM (vJdyz)
Well, I'll be damned -- the REST of Bass ended up with Molson Coors....but you were correct in the first place -- Bass Pale Ale is Anheuser-Busch InBev. I should just stick to microbrews.
Bass took control of a number of other large breweries in the early 20th century, and in the 1960s merged with Charrington United Breweries to become the largest UK brewing company, Bass Charrington.[2] The brewing operations of the company were bought by Interbrew (now Anheuser-Busch InBev) in 2000, while the retail side (hotel and pub holdings) were renamed Six Continents plc. The UK government's Competition Commission was concerned about the monopoly implications arising from the deal, and instructed Interbrew to dispose of the brewery and certain brands (Carling and Worthington ) to Coors (now Molson Coors Brewing Company), but allowed Interbrew to retain the rights to the Bass Pale Ale brand.[5] In 2010, it was widely reported that AB-InBev are attempting to sell the rights to the Bass brand in the UK for around £10-15 million.[3]

The question now is whether DOMA is "necessary and proper" for the exercise of a constitutionally enumerated congressional power. There is no such power pertaining to marriage.Yes there is: controlling who gets paid federal benefits out of the federal budget; taxation by the federal government; and determining qualifications for immigration visas. Sit down and shut up.
Federalism, properly respected, enables diversity as an alternative to a congressionally imposed, continent-wide moral uniformity. Allowing Washington to impose such conformity would ratify unprecedented federal supremacy regarding domestic relations, a power without judicially administrable limits. By striking down DOMA - by refusing to defer to Congress's usurpation of states' powers - the court would defer to 50 state governments, including the 38 that today prohibit same-sex marriage.When Simon Cowell organizes a holding corporation in Delaware, marries it, and then divorces it with a serious support payment, I expect we will hear differently--HEY! Get with the FUTURE!

Actually, there's an interesting concept in there.
Income taxes used to be far more progressive, and have higher top rates -- so there was "income averaging" for guys who built a house for two years and sold it -- instead of paying no tax in a "build year" and getting reamed in a "sale year". So why can't cthulhu2012 just file a joint return with cthulhu2013? Talk about "get with the future!"!

Yep. What do you figure the odds at -- 80:1 against? v. 50:50 they'll do something idiotic?

Frank Whittle was not even the first to think of jet power. Not even the first to get a jet powered plane off the ground. Ohain of Heinkel has that laurel. Really do like the montage of jet powered aircraft. First is the Ohain powered Heinkel plane. Then the Caproni Camprini ducted fan aircraft, and finally the Boeing 707; but no picture of the Gloster E.29/39 that actually used Whittle's engine.

Cthulhu, perhaps we should talk to some bookies to bet.

Another glaring little glitch is when they have Frank Whittle slaving away at his desk trying to peddle his centrifugal jet engine. There is a wooden plane model on his desk. The model is an Avro Lancaster. And this is supposed to be the 1930s.

Anselm Franz gave us the Jumo 004B that powered the Me-262 in combat. After WWII he helped develop the turbo-shaft engine that powered the UH-1 and AH-1. Then lead the team that created the jet engine for the M-1 Abrams.

I got some vintage auto repair manuals from the early 1900's and they talk about OTTO CYCLE engines.
(not surprisingly) A BBC show on jet engines and Rolls-Royce pimped Whittle hard too...
The Russians probably claim they had the first jet engine ;->
The first jet engine known to have been fired up was a valveless pulse jet some French dude designed around 1910 or so.

Whittle and Ohain both designed centrifugal jet engines that were dead ends. As opposed to Franz's turbojet which was the true future of jet propulsion until high bypass turbofans came into being.

The good news is they accept onboard cache up to 64M, and have a pretty zippy Harris 20mhz 80286 on'em to do the work. For dirt cheap controllers they actually perform very well...
...but that factory in China...wow they must have been recycling EPROMS off random old junk motherboards and routers and stuffing it in their "factory new" stuff.
There's a stunning variety of different speed chips from really fast/expensive 50ns registered stuff, to plain jane 120ns 27C512's, with quite a few of the boards mixing the 50ns registered and plain 27 series on different banks of the 286's firmware code.

I root for the US to win the soccer World Cup because the rest of the world would be extremely pissed. Especially at our lack of reaction.

OK -- might find somewhere else between then and now, but here's the fallback plan: April 17th, 12:00 noon, Northshore Brasserie ( 9430 South Northshore Drive; Knoxville, TN 37922 ), I'll be wearing http://shirt.woot.com/offers/oh-hai-there-i-can-haz-ur-planet -- that's what I'm putting on the trip schedule once you confirm. Afterwards, it won't go elsewhere if I can't get confirmation from you for the new place/time.

A bunch goes to 3rd world countries too where there's punitive import tariffs on "new" computers. I had a neighbor a few years ago who took frequent "vacations" to Jamaica because they paid for themselves with the laptop smuggling he was doing. He'd grease the local honcho with a laptop on each trip and never had any problems.
With the most expensive single component on a motherboard these days being the CPU chip, the Chinese could snarf up any P4 and later used machines and crank out some serviceable super cheap desktops for the domestic market.
They're probably using up old stacks of gray market motherboards cranked out on name brand OEM's dimes. When your own QA people aren't there 7x24x365 watching, you go no idea what's coming off the line or where its going.

Back in the 90's, Phoenix used to charge crazy money...like about $3/machine for BIOS royalty.

Maybe a month or two ago I sidebar'd some article about it.
What could possibly go wrong? I'm sure the software/hardware are completely bug/errata free and voluminous mathematical proofs of code correctness were generated to allay any public fears.
I'm also sure the moon is made of green cheese.

They've announced that NO bank account in Europe is safe from being raided. Spain, Italy, anyone can and will be robbed to save the Euro.
We had to burn the ville to save it.
Go long European mattress futures.
