We're Number 1 - We're Still Number ONE!!!
In sperm exports. That's right baby - the world is willing to pay hard currency for our made-in-America man seed.
Sperm has become a vigorous (ahem), multi-million dollar global industry. The sperm trade is growing ever larger and ever more international, with more and more kids being born via unknown fathers on distant continents. By some estimates, the United States is the world's largest exporter of sperm, sending vials to dozens of countries every year.
Bet you wish you'd jumped on that sperm tank deal last night now doncha. There's gold in them thar yarbles.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, announced that borrowers who are more than 90 days late on their mortgages will become automatically eligible for a modification to the terms of the home loan. The goal is to reduce monthly payments.
In the past, to be eligible for a mortgage modification, borrowers had to provide documentation they had a financial hardship. They will no longer be required to do so - though providing such documentation will make borrowers eligible for more substantial monthly savings.
A perverse incentive and a moral hazard. All that's missing is punishment of the virtuous to make the trifecta.
Patience: Swede Endures 28-Year Wait for Stockholm Flat
A 64-year-old Swedish woman has finally got the home of her dreams in central Stockholm after waiting on the city's housing queue for 28 years, a story that experts explain is becoming all too common.Strandvägen is one of the grandest streets in Stockholm. The long boulevard sweeping from Berzelli park along the harbour to the entrance of the Djurgården boasts deluxe hotels and luxury homes.
One of the apartments, right by the bridge leading to Djurgården, will soon be the home to a 64-year-old woman who was more patient than most.
After she joined the queue in 1985 at the age of 36, she is set to take over the home for a monthly rent of 9,320 kronor ($1,430), according to the Dagens Nyheter newspaper (DN).
At least in the Soviet Union you could always bribe a local party member to get an apartment of your own in 15 years tops.

I like South Korea's new President Park. From the Chosun Ilbo...
President Park Geun-hye models herself on former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as the "iron lady" of South Korea, the Wall Street Journal speculated Wednesday.
"Ms. Park, like Mrs. Thatcher, is known for not being intimidated by totalitarian regimes or men in power," the paper said. "When her father, President Park Chung-hee, was assassinated in 1979, Ms. Park was quoted as saying 'Is the border secure?' -- sparking admiration by worrying primarily about the possible threat of a North Korean invasion."
The South Koreans have been planning what to do in the event of another North Korean attack. They're not in the mood to just sit back and take another hit without striking back.

Little fucker lied to me. He said only one of the three of them had anything but I talked to his lawyer and Idiot Number 3 after the court date and...yeah, notsomuch. He had a misdemeanor amount, but Idiot Number 1 had enough for a felony possession with intent to distribute. They left from my house just before they got stopped at the checkpoint and busted. Which means he had the shit in my house, which has always been a great big no-no with me.
So, he sits in jail until his big court date comes up, and then we will see what happens from there. I told him that if he was "grown-ass man" enough to think he can ignore my rules while he's living in my house then he's "grown-ass man" enough to face the consequences. He's not happy about it, but he understands my position on the matter. We'll see if it screws his head on straight or not.

Since I started visiting this sight last fall, I keep hearing all this hype about "Kate Upton". Never heard of her.
So I just viewed those naked boobs. Yea, she's fairly beautiful, and all.
My wife is 51 friggin' years old, and her boobs ride higher, and mightier, than the almighty Upton.
Yea, I know. Pictures... didn't happen... etc, so on, so forth.
Already inquired as to neck down photos of the wifey. You'd thought I'd asked for a blow job.

You have my sympathies. Several years ago my cousin Mark was living with our grandparents while unemployed. They thought he was going out every day to look for work. In fact he was breaking into houses around town. The cops finally tracked him down and searched the house. A news crew showed up. My grandparents, in their nightgowns, are standing on the front lawn of their manufactured home on camera telling the cops that they've got the wrong guys and that Mark wouldn't do that when the cops walk out with bags of stolen merchandise.
My father still hasn't forgiven my cousin.

I don't know if it's an option for you, but one thing to consider is having a "sub-executor" for specific item types. For instance, my old boss and I were guitar collectors, and the BH knows that she should take all of 'em she finds to him if I predecease her and let him sell 'em off -- and keep a goodly percentage.....knowing that he'd be fair about it.

Except for the seeming lack of advance planning for a smoother transition from Gov to civilian based launches, it's actually about time.
Really, the only way a free people will expand into space is by their own (dare I say it?) Enterprise and not the over designed and hidden flawed govt vehicles.
Oh yeah Russia and China may get some places first-est but then I did say "Free Peoples" didn't I?
For space to be truly viable, for the Human Race to actually become long-lived and safe, we must LIVE and work in space as we do on planets but not as mere units of work being directed from some central control. Variation is the insurance policy of nature. Different ideas and modes must be tested in real settings for true progress can be made.
That may entail genetic changes that can only be designed directly and intelligently and not haphazardly. (or at least not quite so random). It will entail man's creative thinking unbridled by concerns of the opinion of politicians, upper administrators and outside opinions or influences.
These sort of changeovers have happened before. The original sea going world explorations took place at the behest and funding of Govt's, greedy for new conquest and exploitable land. The mercantile interests had other fish to fry.
Until the Govt' showed there could be money made and then they entered into the fray and thus was born the world's first great expansion.
Next was the Machine age, the Air Age and then the Space age. Each time Gov't has supplied much of the impetus and the cash to fund expensive but necessary explorations into materials, vehicle design and the human social dynamic that enabled the discovery of further "Frontiers" to explore.
I only regret I will never travel off this planet.

In fact, they'll prescribe it.

Well, here's a bit of good news from Cheesehead Land: State Supreme Court Justice Patience Roggensack (what a name!) was reelected tonight, which means the WI Supreme Court stays conservative rather than swinging lib. The seat is supposed to be "non-partisan" (yeah, right) but the guy who ran against her campaigned openly as a lib and a Dem. And he got his ass kicked.
Also good news: a Milwaukee circuit court judge appointed by Walker kept her seat and some dirtball judge who signed the Walker recall petition was voted out and replaced with a conservative and a veteran.
Of course, since this state is purple and has many retards, the election news was not all good. A Dem sleazebag left over from the previous Governor's adminstration was retained as Superindent of Schools and Milwaukee citizens voted in favor of continuing to allow voter registration at the polls, thus making it easier to commit fraud.
Still and all, the Supreme Court Justice election was the biggie, the last hope for the Madison progs and Walker haters. And once again, THEY LOST.
Now, will these people please shut the hell up?

Back in the day, I found that you could listen to a symphony and pick out the second clarinet -- it greatly increased the distance between what you were concentrating on and distractions. And in some cases, ahem, this meant that one's GPA actually went up proportionately to the amount of pot one was consuming.
Then, again, you end up with memories like the time my roommate almost stepped on a sea-lion pup....and then wanted to stay and pet it while I was saying we should bug-out before mom showed up.

Now that Magic Johnson is part of a deep pocketed group that owns the Dodgers, they're the Yankees and Red Sox West
And they're almost literally the Red Sox West since that late trade for Adrian Gonzales, Carl Crawford, and Josh Beckett

That's one of those "why the hell do I know this" sort of things. It must have been a footnote somewhere. It predates Bakelite, which I always sort of heard of as the 'first plastic'.
It's like the word 'bitumen'. My fellow students took a class in Chem Eng about fuels (we had to take one outside our department, so we generally picked the most chemistry-like class, to avoid, you know, thinking about anything other than chemistry. Being a graduate student is tragic in many ways.) Anyway, they thought 'bitumen' sounded funny. So we started calling failed reactions, particularly awful chemicals, and finally, anything remotely undesirable, 'bitumen'. That word lives in my head as an expletive, and every time I see it in the news, cf. tar sands, I giggle like an idiot.

Posted by: eman at April 03, 2013 12:06 AM (bP2re)
When I taught chemistry at the CC, kids found 'moles' difficult, so I told them it was like 'dozen': a funny word for a specific number. Unfortunately, some of them never distinguished between mole and dozen, then blamed me for confusing them. When I pointed out that 12 grams of carbon would then be 12 atoms of carbon, they never blinked. Perhaps they recalled the time when atoms were bigger.

I think a person can get well past the middle of the bell curve by just not being militant in their stupidity. There a whole hell of a lot I don't know, so I never faulted my students for not knowing things. But when confronted with one's abject misunderstanding of basic things, and not noticing the obvious absurdity, it takes a special stupid to just insist there's nothing amiss.
Worse than my freshmen, though, was a chemical engineering student I had in the physical chemistry lab I taught as a grad student, who, to make a long story short, reported negative Kelvin temperatures in a gas expansion experiment. Oh, and pressures of like 10^32 atmospheres. I made him redo it, and he bitched a blue streak, and kept whining 'why should I have to do it over?' . I finally snapped and said, "You'll redo it because someday you might manage a pesticide plant near where I live. So you'll goddammed well figure out where you went wrong or I'll flunk you, shithead." I got an earful from our dept (for being rude and vulgar) and the chem eng department (for threatening to flunk one of their students, which left me dubious about their values, let alone their graduates).

In the summer time which seems to begin around April in So-Cal,
Rib-Eyes (I lean to the Bone in for the better flav) should be allowed to room temp on the day and just blessed with salt and pepper about 2 hours before the grill. Direct heat from a hardwood charcoal....Oak is a bit harsh yet Red Oak from Central Calibonya lends some fine flav, mix it up with some grilled red potatos laced with garlic. olive oil, and dill and some local asparagus with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of butter steamed. Anchor this fine meal with a Busty Cab. from the northern climes from 2008 and back. And for dessert....
Poached Brandy Pears....and cigars out on the deck.....with more Brandy
.......sigh.

I have a lotion (4 oz Bottle) that for active ingredients says:
Coal tar solution 25% (equivalent to 5% Coal Tar)
Inactive ingredients:
Alcohol 79% (by volume), citric acid, PEG-8, water.
Now can someone explain how a 25% solution and alcohol at 79% can add up? and what's the relationship between the solution to the equivalent and what does it mean?
I have tried google but has not been my friend.
I ask because this stuff is expensive as formulated. I've found a source for coal tar and want to mix my own. But the math it eludes me. Along with understanding what the F they actually mean.
This is a topical medicine and when my skin goes wacky it gets expensive ($30 for that 4 oz bottle)
Any help here?

The only league that has gotten it right is the NFL, but they are starting to fall into the trap of promoting only the "name" teams.
I think some of that is because of all the networks and sportswriters that fret "oh no small market teams are in the super bowl this year!" Hey numbnuts, every team will have a story you can push to drum up "interest" even though you don't need to. All you need for good ratings of a football game is the promise of a good game. Hell even a crap game on Monday Night Football will probably still get you decent ratings.

BC, I'll throw out a few things on this. First is that coal tar is considered a carcinogen for skin contact. Eek!
Second is that formulation is an art, with many trials required to get a stable suspension. Just because you know the list of ingredients doesn't mean you can make it the same way.
Are they raping you on price? Yep. For 20 bucks, you ought to be able to make a bucket of this stuff (assuming denatured ethanol as your ethanol source, an idea that's actually a bad one). They probably have your lotion formulated as an emulsion, which takes special mixing equipment to do properly.
Have I discouraged you yet? If not, then the simplest approach would be to find a suitable solvent for the coal tar alone, then use that solution as your lotion. Skip the rest of the formulation and make it fresh each time. Or just mix some of the solution in regular body lotion just prior to application. That will give you emollients for your skin, though the mix won't be stable over time.

I appreciate the input. I already know the affects of coal tar and I also know that besides looking nasty and right on my face, it itches and burns and HURTS if not controlled.
Yes coal tar a bitch but it's been used for a long time for what I'm using it for. My condition is such that milder forms and other chemicals don't work.
Alcohol is used as a solute as it will evaporate faster leaving the coal tar to do it's thing. (as I understand it, it's coal tar's properties that nullifies the diseased skin so that healthy skin grows underneath. by repeated periodic use, the flare ups and problems can be minimized and the usage decreased slightly.)
I've been fighting this for 40 years. Maybe Dermatologists know more about it than they used to but I'd bet it's not much more as they're too busy with other easier diseases and cosmetic effects to want to spend time on a chronic disease that never goes away.
I've used all the cremes, lotions, ointments, pads, mixes, washes, soaps et cetera, et cetera.
Have you ever had this? Seen it? Known anyone who had it?
You can't discourage what is already resigned. I've found something that works and now I'm going to find a way to get the same effect but cheaper. I'll worry about other problems when they show up.
When a boat's seams are leaking, you don't worry about the brightwork needing polishing or the deck needing a wash down.

Hey Bitter Clinger, don't give up on the psoriasis. Dermatology is one of the most difficult and sometimes elusive specialties but there are docs who live and breath the profession as a life passion. Maybe you just need a good doc.

I wasn't knocking you or your solution to your problem, just pointing out the known hazard of coal tar and skin contact. I made a living as a formulation chemist, so I do know quite a bit about the subject of mixes in general.
The burning sensation you mention is probably due to the coal tar containing poly- aromatic compounds. The phenols in the tar mixture offset that by acting as a nerve deadener.
Wiki backs up your stance as it is a commonly used topical lotion for several skin conditions. Kinda like aspirin, it just works though they don't really know why.

><The best solution is that it gets diminished so I look normal. Not a pleasant prospect of never having a cure and the unpleasant effects when it acts up or a "cure" doesn't work.
Believe me, I thought long and hard about continued use after I found out how toxic coal tar is. However, I weighed the benefits and the likelihood of another answer and decided best to be getting on with it and hope it works out.
I try other stuff all the time but it never works or doesn't fully work or is more expensive than what I'm using.

My Dad was a derm, he passed away now some time ago, but he was one of those who really took his vocation to heart. One of the things he was convinced of was that the skin is often a telltale to the emotional life of the patient. In other words, highly stressed individuals often suffered from chronic, incurables like psoriasis.
Has anyone ever talked with you about reducing stress or developing different ways of dealing with your life's stress-inducing aspects? It could be a key.
