What's this? Beyond Discouraged, 3 Million Workers Hopelessly Unemployed. Where the hell was this coverage from CNN before the election? While it is nice they are finally talking about the long term unemployed out there, they still cling to their narrative that the economy is improving.
The unemployment rate has dropped sharply since 2009, and the number of people unemployed for six months or more has declined. Plus, the number of so-called "discouraged workers" has also fallen.
Yeah, sure. Keep telling yourself that. Ironic that the largest groups that are unemployed are some of Obama's biggest supporters (blacks, hispanics and young adults). And it just so happens that Hilda Solis Thinks That Paying People Not To Work Has Saved Millions Of Jobs. Genius.
Enjoying that lighter first pay check yet this year? Well, get ready For Rising Gas Prices. It is expected to go up 35 cents by April and peak at around $3.95 a gallon for the year. Top 100 Sitcom Episodes Of All-Time
Top 100 Sitcom Episodes Of All-Time. I was pleasantly surprised to see some older shows in the top 20. Normally these kind of lists tend to highlight more recent material (Parks and Recreation at #12????). What do you all think? What is missing or more deserving of a higher ranking?

A Good Day To Die Hard
I think I'm going to see this. It probably is a far cry from the original movie but looks to fit the bill for just a good action flick.
Booze
Hmmm. Some of these I didn't know like the Maple Sap Vodka. Ten Crazy Things People Use To Make Booze.
The same tree goo that makes syrup can make spirits. First, tap some holes into the right maple tree at the right time in spring. As the temperatures fluctuate between night and day, a sugary sap oozes out from the trees. Where there's sugar, there's some human trying to make booze out of it. The Vermont Spirits distillery's Vermont Gold Vodka is a fine example. It's made from 100 percent maple sap, which is then fermented and triple-distilled. The result was lightly sweet, quite smooth, and made me think of pancakes. I could have polished off a case of it.
I gotta try a double shot of this mixed with bacon vodka.
In other booze news, Gamma Radiation Turns Cheap Booze Into Good Stuff Within Minutes.
In a technique we have little doubt was discovered after drinking a lot of cut-rate cachaca, scientists at the Nuclear Energy Center at the University of Sao Paolo have discovered that blasting the cheap stuff with gamma radiation for a few minutes is the equivalent of aging it in barrels. And no, it’s not dangerous:“Tests have shown this cachaca can be consumed right after it is irradiated,” Valter Artur [the genius who discovered this] was quoted as saying in Monday’s edition of the newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo.
So how does this alcoholic miracle happen? Through the magic of chemistry. The gamma rays speed up the chemical reactions the liquor would normally go through over time by ionizing it.
Sniping
Wow. Can You Realistically Hit A Target At 3080 Yards? That was some damn fine shooting. Video at the link.
Recent news has been reported of two Australian Snipers who shot and killed a Taliban commander at a record distance of 3079 yards during a simultaneous command fire. They were firing two Barrett M107 .50 BMG rifles. There has been a lot of debate whether the equipment used had the accuracy or sighting capability to make such a shot even possible. Australia has some very capable snipers and we arenÂ’t here to be a part of that debate, we just got overly excited about the news because we wanted to see what kind of accuracy was really possible at 3079 yards so we headed out to the Utah desert with our DTA HTI .375CT rifle and DTM ammo in hand to see what we could do.

Me and Mrs. Mahon have been watching the Dick van Dyke Show on the netflix for a while now, and we are loving it. I am looking forward to the Never Bathe on Saturday episode. One of my favorites was the one where Laura revealed that Alan Brady wore a rug.
I had a huge crush on Laura Petrie when I was a kid watching the show on cable. That crush has reawakened.

Posted by: kbdabear at January 05, 2013 10:01 PM
Yeah. that one's much more deserving. As is a bunch of others over the one they picked. "The contest"? Really?
The Blackadder one is odd. Didn't know it was really a sitcom. I guess anything "comedy" has situations of some kind in them, I guess? But "Goodbyeee"? Please. It's not that good. The whole 4th series is weak compared to the first three. The only one I can think that kind of makes the grade is the pigeon one. Maybe. The 4th series doesn't work as well due to the characters. It had everything going for it with the cast, Atkinson, Robinson, McInnery, Laurie and Fry all together (regularly) for the first time. But, only Baldric managed to recapture prior series heights. Blackadder wasn't evil enough, Percy was just meh, not the gullible idiot he was, George was just dumb, not brash, crass and brain damaged, Melchett was just loud and bossy, not the sly, evil minded nemesis of Blackadder...
Anyway, pretty much anything from Blackadder 1, 2 and 3 is better than the best of the 4th.

While no one can predict the future, the past is often a good guide IMHO. Here is a great point from that site.
" If we look at the firearms restrictions that have been imposed on US citizens over the last 200 years we see that all legislation has been designed to restrict future purchases and transfers of firearms and even attempts to totally ban firearms have allowed those who already possess them to keep their guns."
AMEN

It probably won't be an out -and-out gun grab, but just more laws, rules, regulations to criminalize more people. Making every man a criminal (rather than making every man 'Free') is the real goal of the Left.
They don't want to rile up millions with reactionary fear and anger (all you "bitter clingers" out there), just more "common sense" gun control. And Mayor Bloomberg, noted "independent" is going to help.
Of course, the Media imbeciles will be on board, and I think it is high time to question the perogatives that they get to exercise under the First Amendment.
Hard to see just how this is going to shake out, but I'm going to make a wild guess and say it won't be as popular as some think it will be.

But the lefties are more interested in passenger trains. They want everyone to take trains rather than drive their evil Gaia killing SUV's.
It's easeir to get you into the camps that way.

Urine I believe. In olden times they collected it for gunpowder production.
Posted by: Buzzsaw at January 05, 2013 10:41 PM (qo244)
IIRC, they haven't actually used gunpowder for commercial ammunition in ages -- mostly it's "guncotton" or nitrocellulose....which, among other things, is much easier to make (concentrated nitric + sulfuric acids and cotton).

Indeed,with modern machining techniques so widespread, and the ability to make a lot of special chemistry things in your basement (like modern powders, etc), this is just modern government driving things underground.
Why, imagine "organized crime" being able to make all the things they may try to ban. Imagine how that worked during Prohibition, and how well this is working during the War on Drugs.

There is still plenty of metal in any "composite" weapon sold on the market. Metal detectors are not quite what they are cracked up to be, though.
My suggestion is to bury them under the foundation in your house, and then put something heavy over the hidy hole, which will discourage any curiosity by the sub-mediocrities that will come to make up Law Enforcement in the years to come.

"Plastic" guns that can't be metal-detected are now and always have been UTTER FUCKING BULLSHIT. Even on the so-called "undetectable" Glock the slide and barrel are steel, as is every fucking spring in the goddam thing, not to mention the metal slide rails that are embedded in the plastic frame. "Undetectable" firearms is a BULLSHIT fucking RUSE the gun-grabbers started to scare the stupid people. Don't be one of them.

Even the "Plastic Fantastics" have enough metal to be detected. The cheap-assed metal detectors that us proles can buy will pick up a 16cc nail under two feet of packed dirt. Just the barrel of the Glock, for example, would peg the meter of a cheap metal detector; the metal detectors that they will have (purchased with your tax dollars) will be much more powerful.

Not yet ready for prime-time. The plastic lower worked well for a while but disintegrated after about 6 rounds or so IIRC. Still, as a one-time use or a proof of concept, it was successful.

Spending two months negotiating 10 hours of savings is like driving to a supermarket three states away to save a nickel on your grocery bill. [...]
There are arguments to be made in favor of small government: My comrades and I have done our best over the years, with results that, alas, in November were plain to see. There are arguments to be made in favor of big government: The Scandinavians make them rather well. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for what is now the standard operating procedure of the Brokest Nation in History: a government that spends without limit and makes no good-faith effort even to attempt to balance the books. That's profoundly wicked. At a minimum, the opposition, to use a quaint term, should keep the people's business out in the sunlight and not holed up in a seedy motel room with Joe Biden all night.

Holy fuckin' hell. Bought my mom an ipad for Christmas, thought she would enjoy playing Words With Friends, now my evening is shot, and no got to take part in the ONT 
Ah well, it's nice, since Mom and I live 3 hours away, and when we visit, we play Scrabble, so it's almost like being there.
Be safe and well, everyone.

There is nothing wrong with having that many clauses except HORROR! HORROR! HORROR!
All I am saying is it is a skosh hard to follow like that.
"The sweat of their labor froze on their bodies like little icicles. They shivered enough to loosen their grips, and stamped their feet in the fresh snow, trying to keep them from becoming icicles as well. Before them lay the fruit of the effort stolen from them, a gaping wound in the earth. The great dirty maw stared blankly up at them as they refused to look up, for fear that even a glance up would be seen in the glare of truck headlights and be taken as a sign of defiance. The guards may have held their rifles carelessly, but they seemed willing to use them with as little care."
I'd probably rewrite that a couple more times. Don't know the context.

Their power is retained only through giving the people a sense of normalcy even in crisis. They need the tv shows and sporting events to keep the circuses going even when the bread runs low.

We also have a bunch of CES related work in LV this coming week but NMX starts tomorrow. It looks like the company that owns the AV and event networking for the entire resort are going to drop the ball badly on the WiFi. Their setup seems to hate certain chip sets on the 2 gig side. So tomorrow could get ugly.
Actually, much of LV is a pretty normal town but I'll hardly see any of that this trip.

Alda did serve 6 months in the US Army reserve as a gunnery officer, but he was in the ROTC in college and served after graduation from college. It would have been the late 1950's at the earliest, and he served stateside.

Oh, MASH got preachy before Frank left. As soon as Beej-the-incredibly-punchable showed up the sermonizing began in earnest. When Trapper was on, it was just the occasional eye-roll inducing remark, with BJ's first season it was all whing, all the time. Frank was the only saving grace and they sucked the funny out of him, eventually. With Linville's departure it half an hour of Alda and what's his face, weeping for the childrens.

Do not skimp on a good gun belt and a quality holster. That Uncle Mikes nylon POS will work for a while, but it will never work as well as a good quality holster. Check out http://www.theholstersite.com/ or https://www.dragonleatherworks.com/ (dragonleatherworks made the custom leather lunchbox for NCIS), I have a Fugly from Dragon Leatherworks that is an excellent CC holster.

371 It's a Dillon. I actually got 2. RL. Hardly any die sets available in this great land. I got 9 and 308 'cuz 45 and 223 were unavailable, nor bullets nor brass. I'm still buying bulk ammo while it's available- reloading isn't worth it yet based on the prices I'm seeing
Frustrating. But I think all these folks who bought AR's recently are gonna be ready to pay VERY large when they realize that they forgot to stock up on any ammo. I think that's a tremendous opportunity no matter what happens in the next few months, which noone knows.
I also think that everyone's neglecting to prepare to reload 38 Special and 30-30, but there are tens of millions of these unregistered in the USA, and the owners are less likely to have any significant stores of ammo than the people who have focussed on the more military calibers. Brian Enos seems to have the Dillon stuff in stock, tho he's a MSRP guy. Shipping free over $400, so it may still work out better than local purchases. Gun shows are mobbed and panic pricing-
That's my free investment advice for this week, and I think you can bank on it.

I got curious and looked to if it was his father, Robert, but no. But it was worth looking just to see his real name was Alphonso Giuseppe Giovanni Roberto D'Abruzzo!
Damn.
Also, Alan Alda had polio at age ten and that would likely have been an automatic rejection.
I had an uncle who was very determined to serve during WWII and hid a childhood leg injury that almost left him crippled before they kicked him out of basic. He managed to get a Coast Guard job as consolation.

If you mean the Seafood Buffet, I couldn't tell you. At $45 it's bit more than my employer will let me expense.
Fortunately, a lot of the people we're working for feed us quite well. For instance, Lenovo's main showcase is in the Aquaknox restaurant in the Venetian. I'll likely spend the better part of two or three days next week doing support there and in the nearby Pinot. Between the two the food is incredible. Last year I made some ONT posts from there and expect to again this year.
I'm supposed to be off all day Wednesday but I don't know if I'll bother going to the convention center for the main show floor. So much of is thoroughly covered by web sites without having to endure the noise and crowds.

Legal no, but a blogger has published the names and addresses of the journaljizzers on his site and it went viral. Now they're screaming for protection and IIRC the paper has hired guards. I'd provide link but...lazy. FU, do your own google-work.

The information was gathered legally, and they can publish it so at that point there's absolutely no legal recourse.
Should someone be killed or seriously injured because of that information, the plaintiff would have to prove that the paper knew of that possibility and acted in callous disregard for their safety. Getting it past dismissal by a leftist judge who either enthusiastically supports a socialist police state or could be blackmailed by the paper is a big hurdle.

I have a hunch that when the cops looked at the big bad "threats" the paper got via email and dismissed them as harmless, they had in mind that a lot of their fellow cops aren't too happy about being "outed"

A report from behind enemy lines. As many of you know I post a lot over at the left wing site called Spcebattles (it is fun to mess with them) anyway they are all gungho about the recent NYT article about getting rid of the Constitution and many have really let the mask slip and want Obama to just start arresting any Republicans who disagree with him. They are all for banning and confiscating our guns and putting us in prison.
I remember Spacebattles being that way. As bad as it is, I can only imagine just who much of a cesspool Mike Wong's site has become.

BeckoningChasm, I like it, Especially Taranga Leela and would pay $200 for the ones I like but I don't think my wife would let me hang them. I am sure you can move them. Have you brought them to any Comicon and conventions with the same clientel? BTW,@ $200 a pop barely covers your cost considering the size of the canvas. You have a strange artistic view and I consider that a compliment. Normal is boring.

HP Lovecraft must have seen some early electron microscope images of water fleas.
This is not to diminish the work of either, they both scare the heck out of me.

The split-window was 63 only, the first year of the Sting Ray generation. The 62 was the last year of the 1st generation Vette
Love the Split-Window too. I'm a small block guy, so I'd prefer the 327 to the 409

So GM thinks the classic market for the Corvette is "getting too old"? It's the "old" guys who are their market and have the money for an extra car for funsies. The youthful hedge fund guys, dot-com millionaires, and movie stars aren't going to buy the Vette if they're thinking of a Lambo, it doesn't have the cache.

The essential flaw of the current constitution is that there is a two-chamber legislature. It should be three.
One chamber, as now, should represent the populace that lives under the government that is enacted.
One chamber, as it was before the seventeenth amendment, should represent the states that comprise the United States.
And one chamber should be established for those who would pay for government -- with one vote for every tax dollar paid.
If something can't bear a majority of those who would live it, those who would pay for it, and those who would ensure it was within its proper boundaries, it probably shouldn't be.

It was cold, bitter cold outside. Julie shivered as she looked down at her fingernails. There was a time when she took pride in her hands, she could still hear her mother's ghostly voice in her head "A woman's hands show her station", mom had said too many times to count. Mom never imagined this, Julie thought. There was a cut on her left ring finger, blood flowed sluggishly into the mud encasing her fingernail. Beyond the finger, Julie saw the fruit of her labor: a shallow pit, not even big enough to be a proper hole. Beside her, a dozen other Americans mumbled, stamped their feet or silently observed the pits they had been forced at gunpoint to dig with their bare hands. "This is crazy", Julie had thought, "Everything's near frozen, we need shovels to make a dent in the earth!". Well, she'd made a dent, but the chilling realization was that the powers that be didn't care about doing the job right, it was all just make work, designed to exhaust the captives beyond the point of resistance. Behind them, she heard an engine start. It was undoubtedly the armored car that had escorted them to here, a gentle swale in Rick Johnson's apple orchard. Her mind spinning crazily, Julie realized that she had lost her virginity to Dave Mellinger right over that hill some 25 years ago. That was a sweet memory, and she clung to it, unable to believe that her life would soon end here where in many ways it had begun. " READY!" came the shout from behind her. "AIM!". This can't be happening, she thought desperately, I'm a fucking American! NO! "FIRE!"
Julie's body tumbled lifelessly into the pit that she's so recently been forced to dig with her own bare hands. She'd done a good job, as she had with most things in her life, and only her left leg protruded over the berm. A bored Corporal in The People's Army walked over and kicked her leg into line with the rest of her lifeless body. He paused and bent at a body three corpses down and liberated a watch. A smile ghosting across his face, he turned and yelled to the waiting bulldozers; "Cover these fuckers up, we've got at least 10 more groups to get through tonight!" The big machines snorted, and jerkily moved forward to do their horrible work. Human inefficiency wouldn't stand in the way of the utopia to come. Nothing would.
Wow. That's what came out? Maybe I'm not as sanguine as I thought.

He was given this task because he was "sub". He knew he was because of the training tasks that he had been unable to perform with the rest of the boys in his age group last year. He knew this because he had been seperated from other boys that he had known since coming to the "High Safe" complex two years ago with his family. This had been a difficult time for him. His mother , father and two sisters had been given other places to be while he had been put with the boys who were to be trained. He had failed the first year's training and was placed in a group called the "subs." They did not treat the subs unfairly, everyone was treated with respect at the "High Safe" yet, subs were given to simple tasks, and the subs knew that other boys who mastered the training were given the task of going to war to protect the "High Safe".
This created a mindset within the "subs". Though they never spoke of it, they all knew that there would come a time when a "sub" would be called upon to do something "Great and Special." This was all he could think to himself as he climbed onto the ridgetop in the dead of night..his first night outside the "High Safe' in the last 3 years and his only duty as they had told him, to see what was in the valley below, with his own eyes and to return to the "High Safe" and tell what he saw. He did not know the sky was clear of the black drones. The drones had not been seen for 3 days now, which is why they had sent him out. He was, after all, a "sub".

'Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States...
Then came the inimitable voice, but weary, deathly weary. "My fellow Americans. Our armed forces have met with terrible defeat on land and sea. I have just been advised by General Fraley that he has unconditionally surrendered the Army of the Southwest to Generals Novikov and Feng.... His capitulation removes the last barrier to the northward advance of the armies of the Soviet Union and the Chinese People's Republic.... I must now tell you that for three months the United States has not possessed a fleet in being.... We are disarmed. We are defeated.... May God bless you all and stay you in this hour of trial."
With those words America ceased to be a nation, became instead a conquered satrapy, slated for genocide...'
That is the back cover blurb for the book. Kornbluth died in 1958, he was 34. The title is taken from a Hemingway quote from Notes on the Next War - "Not this August, nor this September; you have this year to do what you like. No not next August, nor next September; that is still too soon... But the year after that or the year after that they fight."

Funny, There was this little known "Made for T.V Movie" back around late 70's...."Chris Cristopherson" or some similar dude who used to be a musician
who got shot by some General at the climax......
that dealt with America giving it all up because it was in the best interest of well you know "THE PEOPLE!!"
Very Scary....indeed....

The last thirty or so minutes of this movie is the payout. The criminal underground has finally captured the killer of little girls and puts him on trial. They are not angels, because of this killer the police are constantly busting their rackets. And in this trial is the whole argument of if someone so sick they have a compulsion to kill should just be locked up in an asylum or killed before he kills again.

You speak then, and I do sense your turmoil...maybe this site is more than just a place of the oft..thought or venting of foul reveal.
Could it be that we who post here are attempting a warning? Could this site serve that purpose? Given the construct of MSM, how else will a voice be given to the truth? There may come a day in our lifetimes when people like us flash some bit of information from a laptop in some alleyway in the dead of night that stays the total ruin of a nation.....such is the the new age media...and the MSM trembles and sees their end in sight and works overtime to destroy us....because THEY KNOW!
