Thurston, we have a problem. If they'll lie about something as mundane as this, they'll lie about anything (and they have). Their behavior says a lot about the press. They KNOW the press will carry their water and aren't afraid of being called out on their lies. Although it is surprising that it was CBS that pushed the Kerry boat thing. Probably just a mistake. Russian Reset
Perhaps SecState could get off his yacht for a bit and stop fixating on a forever elusive Palestinian/Israeli peace thingy and focus on the Russians. You know, the guys that are testing a new missile in violation of the '87 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty and building their own missile defense. Perhaps it is time to stop being so "flexible" with the Russians since the election is over.
Wodka Vodka Ad
I wonder if Bannion had anything to do with this?
LEGO Shoes
I wouldn't run in these LEGO stilettos. Actually, you'd be OK. I wouldn't run with the LEGO prosthetic leg though.
Greatest First Pitch Ever?

Interesting Read
Physicist Michio Kaku on building a Death Star and the Silicon Valley brain drain. Sadly, our public education system is failing to address the issue of the Silicon Valley brain drain.
Another casualty of the decline in interest surrounding science and even math is the US education system, which Kaku describes as the most dysfunctional among advanced capitalist countries."Fifty percent of the top engineers and grunts doing the work in Silicon Valley are foreign-born and that is unsustainable," Kaku says. "One day, the brain drain will reverse -- it's starting to happen. Now top scientists are starting to go back to China and back to India. That's why our education cannot continue to be one of the worst known to science."
I'm sure Common Core will fix this. Yeah, right.
Disappearing Car Features
Warning. It is a CNN/Money link. 11 disappearing car features. I'll save you the click if you'd like and here's the list:
1. Manual transmissions
2. Keys
3. Crank windows
4. Antennas
5. Hand brake
6. Bias-ply tires
7. Bench seats
8. Hard top convertibles
9. 85 MPH speedometers
10. Full size spare tires
11. Hinged vent window (um that's been gone awhile no?)
Fireworks Follies
Warning: There is some harsh language.
Regular Sex
If fapping counts, morons will be golden. Regular sex can make you look 7 years younger. Hopefully that's not in dog years.

At least there aren't any stings on my fingers or my face. 1 hand, one ear, one bicep, one breast, two armpit. Lucky for me I have lots of icepaks now.

I had an old boyfriend suggest to me the other weekend at my all school reunion that we go "make out" in the car. I'm sure he was trying to be funny but at my age all I could think about was the big console between the seats, I was having visions of dislocated hips and shoulder strain. Hell I can hardly reach my purse on the passenger seat. I have to search way back in my memory bank for a bench seat.

I made it a point to get my daughters stick shifts as their first car. But I have no love of shifting during the daily commute so my car is an automatic.

I have the opposite view. I can't stand manual transmissions. It's like having to flush the toilet every few seconds while you're sitting on the crapper. You should have to shift (or flush) just once, whether at the beginning (car) or end (crapper).

When you drive, keep one hand on the stick, one on the wheel (except when doing special maneuvers.)
I always thought it was more solid metal, but as it turns out the metal plating on the top was very thin... my skin oil plus heat and cold chipped it right off. Plastic underneath.
CTX or something was the brand. Still a good shifter but...

With an automatics, you loose a heck of a lot of control. For an underpowered car, you can actually accelerate quite well by downshifting, &c.
I'm having to rent an automatic due to my broken arm, and I find it to be an unresponsive pile of junk.

I've taken to just shutting up it's easier. He'll today while bowling my wife's friends starting talking about St. Tryvon insisting it was illegal to follow him (wrong since it was a public space or private eyes would have no jobs.)
But I decided not to get into it. Plus, we were in a public place and I had no desire to have people overhearing and getting in my face either.

I agree with you regarding performance but I prefer the simpler driving experience. Most of the time, I need a hand free, whether to speak on my cell phone, mess with the radio, etc., so it's just easier and more convenient with an automatic. And before anyone here says anything, no, I don't need the hand free for the reason some of you are undoubtedly thinking. I'll leave that "activity" during driving to those who need to satisfy a certain desire at all times. You know, people like Tiger Woods, Eliot Spitzer, and Bill Clinton.

Not. A. One. Sadly. I had friends at Myers Park who had '65, '66, 67, and '71 when I was in school there. You know the place.
Today there were tons of Corvettes. Too many. Everything else was all over the board. Lotus, Triumph, Porsche, Volvo 1800, Maserati, Lambo, Ferrari, and rice rockets galor.
The black Chevelle was just perfect. Looked like a frame off restoration. Cragars. Looked perfect, and sounded better.

Good news on the stray puppy we found. We managed to track down the owners, and reunited him with his "partner". The owners live next to our neighbourhood and the two pups seem to adventure out on their own every day. We will probably see them again roaming the streets, but now I know where they live.

The wife was at least happy that the pup was reunited with his friend again and we now know where his home is. It was just pure chance we were talking to another neighbour that knew a little about where the dogs came from and we drove over, asking people on the street if they knew this dog.

It was billed as a luxury car back then, if you can imagine that. Guess the "muscle car" tag wasn't quite up to Buick standards.>>
I had a 1970 Buick Skylark GS (just the 350) but I would put it in the Muscle car category. And I'm pretty sure Buick sold the 455 GS stage 1 as a muscle car.

I agree. I drove a 1997 Plymouth Neon for years in order to save money (and the car was always reliable and got great gas mileage). Calling it a "driving experience," whether it was a stick or automatic, is like calling the cinnamon sticky bun that I bought at the Pilot Food Mart yesterday a "dining experience."

I have worked on ALL of them--they're cookie cutter cars.

None is "worse" than the other.
When the very first stupid thing he said was:

My Neon lasted 160K miles. By the end, it was still running but starting to fall apart (e.g., odometer stopped counting miles, speedomoter and various gauges stopped working, etc.). It definitely exceeded any expectations I had for it. When I bought that car, I would have been happy if it lasted for 80K-100K miles. Plus, the repairs I had to make to that car over the years were minimal.

I've flown into the St. Barths one and see the landings at St. Maarten. The St. Barths landing angle is much steeper than the "representation" shown. The hill is much higher than depicted, so the pilot has to first graze the top and then immediately nose dive toward the runway to make it before he ends up on the beach and in the water. If you don't like flying, this is one where you are better off taking a boat onto the island.

I agree 100%. And planes have to bank really hard to one side as you descend over Boston Harbor and approach the tarmac. Then, after your flight, you have to deal with the horrible Boston traffic. The latter reason is one of several reasons why I usually fly into Manchester, NH, which is 50 miles North of Boston.

Lmao.
See, the thing is, it doesn't matter if people give a shit or wanna hug it out and cry on your shoulder.
YOUR problems are YOUR problems and only you can figure out how to deal with them. Which will tie back in to Rule #10 in a couple days.
But that's days away. You need to rub his face in the dirt now.

There once was a traitor from Natucket
The Secretary of State said "Fuck it"
He gave all to the Comminists
And through wide open border's mists
He told the Muslims they could truck it.

So, you're another person with a positive Neon experience. The funny thing is that the mileage on my Neon may have been 5K-10K miles higher, as the gauges stopped working sporadically at around 120K, often for long periods of time. Thus, some of the mileage did not register on the odometer.

YES! I am teacher and have asked our representatives to fight the implementation of Common Core here in AZ. It is another huge fed. takeover of education and for a Catholic school its a death knell for quality education. Michelle Malkin has a couple of good articles about and there's a great articles called something like "two moms and common core" where they saw the damage it was doing in their Catholic school and fought it. I think in Illinois.

Oldsmobile Toronada, anyone?
I think in 1978 the Toronada, Riviera, and Cadilac El Dorado were all the same car -- all fwd, I believe.
My father's cousin bought a new El Dorado Biaritz or whatever it was called. It had a stainless steel roof. No wonder GM shit the bed; they really took advantage of the consumer and took them for granted.

Maybe '97? The gig I was on was traveling incognito to trade shows in Hong Kong and Taipei. I was the VP and CFO of a small telecom company, pretending to be the CEO of an even smaller telecom company, looking to make contacts.
Along the way, I discovered that this sales rep who was going "we'll be your exclusive agent in the East! It'll be great!" was telling people in his booth, "I could sell you the XXX crap -- I'm their rep, too -- but you should really buy YYY (the competition)." -- because, of course, he could make more of a commission from them.

I can't turn IE off with Task Manager
and when I go to Control Panel/Programs/uninstall, IE is not listed
--------------
iirc, it's an integral part of Windows these days. You can't uninstall it through that panel. You need to go digging around in whichever panel allows you to add or remove components from Windows itself. Unfortunately, I don't remember where that is off the top of my head.

They whine too much about oversteer. With that slug battery in the front, and the other battery in front of the rear axle I doubt it would be as bad as a stock 63' if you run a front/rear pressure differential. It could be fitted with that cross leaf spring thingie and anti-jacking chains pretty trivially.

What we really need is a complete de-Federalization of Education. The Department of Education was only created in 1979 (by Carter *spit*), is obviously not part of Article I, section 8 (the enumerated powers under the Constitution), wasn't around during the "glory days" when school actually halfway worked, and has spent bucketloads of money to no avail (read it and freakin' weep -- http://rogerkerr.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/friday-graph-public-education-spending-vs-results/ ).
There should be a Constitutional Amendment to keep the meddling hands of the Federal government completely and utterly out of Education, from top-to-bottom and side-to-side....oh, wait! There is one already -- the Tenth!

Except if you do hit the water... you'll probably be fine.
There was a famous incident many years ago when Japan Air Lines landed a Douglas DC-8 short of the runway at SFO. Everyone was okay. The water is so shallow that the plane just stood there in the water on its gear.
United had (and have) a monster maintenance base there. JAL paid United to have their mechs tow the DC-8 out of the Bay and overhaul it, and put it back in service, in which capacity it flew for many more years.
By contrast, what the Koreans managed to do was to hit the breakwater at the edge of the runway fill. A breakwater lined with big rocks. Looks like it ripped one engine and one main gear completely off the jet, then broke off the tail.
So: land long, you're fine (that runway is two miles or so). Land short, you and the plane may get drenched but it and you will survive. Do *not* land squarely on the breakwater. It will break the plane.

#1 -- a hat. Like one of these http://www.villagehatshop.com/henschel-aussie-solarweave-crushable-hat-2x-olive.html -- but not necessarily that one (I got mine for less than half the $$$).
#2 -- deodorant. Doesn't help with the face so much, but stuns the sweat glands near scent-concentrators (the ones that are trying to send a message [located near convenient tufts of hair]).
#3 -- hydration. The more that your sweat is just salt water, the less it will have a determinable odor.
#4 -- air-permeable clothing.
#5 -- Keep core temp cool. A neck cooler is probably best for this, a la http://tinyurl.com/l7p3zlh

Thanks Y-Not!
I do have 2 cotton bras. Unfortunately, since about 1998 or so... you can't be an adult female w/a B-cup to get a properly fitted bra that does not involve some padding.
So, they are not the BEST candidates for tossing in the washer without a care, every day you sweat like a steam engine. (You always have to make sure they are not too dry and "cup them" before they "set" with too many lumps.)
I *so* like the idea of smelling like one of those crazy ladies who would slather on Coconut Oil to get a better tan in the 80's though. At least for now...
Still want to know from some Morons about wearing like, a Hanes T-Shirt underneath a Polo and having to keep it all tucked in and belted w/ some Khakis...

I would recommend against layering-up with things that touch you. The type of hat I recommended is good because the crown is separated from your head. If it touches you, it should be sun blocking and air permeable and as light as possible.

I've been described by one guy I worked with on a job as "deceptively slow". I don't look as frenetic as most, but every motion is deliberate, nothing is wasted, everything planned. I'll finish faster than the people who look "busy".
Its like the guidance Strunk and White offers about writing - "let every word tell". When its hot, let every motion work for you and waste none.
It may take several iterations to refine and optimize your "system" too. For me, being an INTJ, that sort of process optimization is built into my nature. Its something I do without conciously thinking about it whenever I'm doing something repetitive, but other personality types can do it as a conscious action.
Little things matter. Like having spare pens on hand, ordering paperwork in the order it would naturally be presented, learning how to spot a "talker" who has no real intentions of actually buying, but enjoys blabbing.
Optimizing the interaction duration will save more time than anything else with cold calling.

Most of the time that people get "whiff", it's not the sweat -- it's the concentrated sweat w/ growing bacteria. That's mainly in weird scent-concentrating areas with extra hair -- e.g. armpits, pubes, etc. Normal forearms don't smell no matter how much sweating you do.
Posted by: cthulhu at July 07, 2013 12:12 AM (T1005)
A scrub brush and some soap will take care of 90% of any smell issues. Most people with body odor problems have it because of other issues beyond sweating.

"Hardtop Convertible" was the original name for the body type, and the early ones actually were convertible bodies fitted with a fixed metal roof. The result was a classy-looking car that mimicked the look of a convertible with the top up, and the windows down, but didn't have the maintenance issues associated with a folding top.
If a car has a "B" pillar, it ain't a hardtop. Sedans are not hardtops, but there are 4-door hardtops.

I was going to make ribs tonight but got terribly sleepy around 2 PM. Tobe ready at 7 the ribs needed to go in the oven at 4 but I just couldn't get enough sleep to clear my head. Kept having weird dreams and waking up in a still addled state.
Most of that list of car features had me thinking, "Wasn't that long gone already?" I cannot remember the last time I saw crank windows in a recent;y produced model that wasn't some sort of specialty design. Some things took a lot longer than they should have to become standards. Suburu had an automatic hill braking system back in the 70s.
Has creativity in music died since I was a kid? I've noticed that most of the time when a movie is trying to have some sort of rousing anthem for a finale, they tend to go back to the disco era. The recent example that caught my notice was the Despicable Me sequel, which has genderless beings dredging up the Village People's 'YMCA,' a song about the organization's facilities being an ideal spot to meet gay sexual partners.
This is practically the theme song of the AIDS epidemic but now it's a bit of fun for a kids' movie.
Do such YMCA facilities even exist any more, where you could get a cheap room to stay overnight with communal hygiene facilities? It seems like they were already on the way out when I was a kid in the 70s. The only reason I knew they existed was from books and movies set in earlier eras. The YMCA in Valencia is more of a place for families and the elderly to have exercise classes and swim. I took my mother there this morning to do her workout while I walked several orbits of the adjoining park while listening to an audio book.

Looks like rain.
and every plot device has it's critics.
and every story has already been told, repeatedly
all the heroes have been debunked
all the villains rehabilitated
history revised
so at this point, what difference does it make?
