86 I doubt the Vikings swore off Ireland because of redheaded women. Scandinavia's prolly got more redheads than Ireland ever had.

Sherman, pull up the ginger distribution maps and let's take a gander at this hypothesis. Ah here it is:
Well the Scandis certainly know the heartbreak of Gingerness, but nothing like the Irish or Scots where over 10% of the population are afflicted. And then of course you have the Udmurt peoples of central Russia who seem to be super-Gingers as exemplified by Anastasia Ivanova.
Note that all these populations seem to share the same MC1R mutation and difficulty thriving below the 45th parallel.
So about all we can conclude is that the Viking were never able to close the Ginger gap with the Irish. Whether it was the Irish Gingeresses that drove them out is still an open question. And actually there is some evidence that the gingerhood in western Norway is actually due to Celtic slaves brought back by Viking raiders. So maybe it was a fifth column Gingeress kind of thing.

Professor: College Football Just Like the Tuskegee Study
What evidence do they have to back up this astonishing claim? "African American males composed the largest segment of football players (45.8 ) percent" in 2009-10. Since African Americans constitute less than 13 percent of the population, "African-American football players face a disproportionate exposure to the risk of concussions and their consequences." That's it.
Oh and the infamous Tuskegee Study wasn't quite the racial genocide it's made out to be.
73 Rules For Running For President As A Republican
Some of the pithier ones...
3- If you don't like Republican voters, don't run.5-If you've never won an election before, go win one first. This won't be the first one you win.
6-Winning is what counts. Your primary and general election opponents will go negative, play wedge issues that work for them, and raise money wherever it can be found. If you aren't willing to do all three enthusiastically, you're going to be a high minded loser. Nobody who listens to the campaign-trail scolds wins. In the general election, if you don't convey to voters that you believe in your heart that your opponent is a dangerously misguided choice, you will lose.
10-You will be called a racist, regardless of your actual life history, behavior, beliefs or platform. Any effort to deny that you're a racist will be taken as proof that you are one. Accept it as the price of admission.
65-Never hire consultants who want to use you to remake the party. They're not Republicans and you're not a laboratory rat.
70-If you are convinced that a particular running mate will save you from losing, resign yourself to losing because you've already lost.
73-Make a few rules of your own. Losing campaigns imitate; winning campaigns innovate.
Oppression by Capitalist Words
While we're on the subject of odd Guardian articles - odder than usual, I mean - here's another. Owen Hatherley, formerly a contributor to the Socialist Worker and Socialist Review, is today telling his readers that "capitalism is altering our language" in dastardly ways that must be resisted. He knows this because he regards unique, individual and choose as "particularly acquisitive words." For him, it seems, the words unique, individual and choose signify first and foremost avarice and rapaciousness - nasty things like that. So no tendentious altering of language there. As you might expect, Mr Hatherley is also unhappy about the word consumer, which, he says, is "a word we now use entirely unthinkingly to describe the 'consumption' of everything from shoes to food to health care." Note the use of we, by which of course he means you're the ones "unthinkingly" talking about consumers, unlike our mentally nimble class warrior, who wishes to "reveal the pernicious assumptions behind these professedly innocuous words."
I'm guessing that the mere titles of Milton Friedman books would make Hatherly's head explode.
Criminal Background Checks For Shooting Ranges?
Apparently so as Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller found out when he went to shoot at a local range.
The 24-year-old All-Pro was trying to enter the Centennial Gun Store and Range just outside of Denver -- and submitted to a routine mandatory background check, as required by everyone looking to shoot at the range.But the background check revealed a warrant out for Miller's arrest -- which was issued back in January after he failed to appear in court to face multiple traffic violations.
According to law enforcement, Miller had been charged with careless driving, driving without a license and having no proof of insurance back in October 2012.
Miller was taken into custody at the gun shop -- and was hauled to a nearby Sheriff's Dept. where he was booked
Granted Miller was an idiot but is this a common practice? And wouldn't this tell authorities exactly who has a gun and is shooting it?

This trip I work with Afghan govt, and we go out in town in civilian (Afghan) clothes. I don't look very Afghan, but I definitely don't look military. Cut it all off after 2 or 3 days on leave - had to dress up. But already working on growing it back. I think I'll keep it a little more under control this time.

One of my favorite books in the whole world was Ken Follett's Lie Down with Lions. It's quite old, but it made me want to go there and never leave. One of the pre-chapter quotes was "the daughter of the lion is also a lion." It's burned into my brain.

Astrology and the zodiac is horseshit.
However, Leo, Taurus, Gemini, Scorpius, Sagittarius and Virgo have some really, really great objects to look at. Libra, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius and Capricornus are incredibly boring. Cancer is a one-trick constellation.
We should have added "He Who Bears The Large Healing Snake" (Ophichius) and The Great Hunter (Orion) and knocked off a few dim nothings.

The snake is so massive (Serpens) it is catalogued in two parts, aiming upwards beyond the scales towards Virgo. He is often depicted as struggling to hold back the large serpent.

Have you and Fluffy "got it on" (so to speak) yet?
I ask 'cause it's looking like I may have to retire my Chi-Com Mil-Surp pistol to a display case. It hasn't worked right since the tragic boating accident (I was fortunate to escape with my life)
I don't want to retire a piece without knowing that another has joined the fracas.
Help me Obi-Peaches! You're my only hope!

It'd be like that scene in Spies Like Us where Dan Akroyd tells Chevy Chase to get out of the jeep to go piss, away from the Russian imposter agents. They start walking away from them, and then all of a sudden they're both standing in front of the two of them. Putin would be like, "Is it my turn now?"

She did a midnight moveout and stole all the appliances of course, but the interior was way worse than that dude's. I drilled the lock a month later after there was no contact and the smell was overpowering, one carpet was literally glued to the floor with congealed dog piss and needed to be scraped/peeled off. Cabinets all destroyed, plumbing destroyed, big holes in the walls everywhere, windows busted out.

Also, my liberal FB friend (the one who told me about Pacifica Radio Network's demise) also recently linked this. He owns firearms, has a membership certificate from this group, and swears it's the real thing, not some sort of parody. I don't know if folks here would welcome this development or not. I'd say there's reasons to both love and hate it.

It sounds like a cheap remake of "The Handmaid's Tale" by Canadian moonbat author Margaret Atwood.
These dipshits always seem to have a blind spot for the Christian concept of Free Will. Being "good" because an oppressive and overbearing legal structure forces you to be "good" doesn't cut any ice with God. But being "good" when the world is filled with tempting opportunities for sin does.

Nine ships.
USS Fort McHenry - not attached, rode it long enough to run from a typhoon. First night underway. In a typhoon. Didn't puke.
USS Belleau Wood - gotta be a redneck to be proud of the fact that your ship has a bigass 3 on the side. And I was. And for as big a flight deck as that was, the spots were tiny.
USS Essex - first time dealing with Marines underway. Goddamn they get in the way.
USNS Kiska - first experience with MSC. Food is not as good as I had heard, but I had my own room. LTJG living like a CDR. Hell yeah.
USNS Spica - Brits built a bar in the wardroom, but USN wouldn't let us stock. Smallest flight deck I ever saw.
USNS Flint - ammo ship. Port visit = anchor out and ride the boat. Was still fun anyway.
USNS San Jose - now this is the life. Not only had my own room, with a forward-facing porthole, I had my own, private head. Outstanding.
USNS Niagara Falls - good det, better port visits. Singapore, East Timor, Australia. Australia. Fuck yeah.
USS Bataan - I stayed in for this shit? WTF? But I did get to see the Suez Canal, the coasts of Djibouti and Kenya, and some oil platforms near Iraq. Shit, I could have been out and doing contract flying in AFG. Fuck!!

Because if the government says your a terrorist, you're a terrorist. Of course, they have a right to hold you for nine hours and take your stuff - especially if you're leaking information that might reveal that the government is actually spying on its own citizens.
But, I guess if the guy is a leftist, the government should do whatever they need to do.

First time landlord probably. All tenants have a good story, theyz gonna be the bestz promisy promisy.
Like House says "Everybody lies". You say no pets, a week later they got three dogs.
They promise no loud parties or rowdiness, a month later you find out the police have been there 3 times already.
The promise they're clean, no drugs, then they're getting busted for dealing crack out of the bedroom window and you're replacing the doors the cops smashed in.
And then...three unregistered junk cars appear and you're getting code violation notices from the town.

The thing about South St. Paul, and West St. Paul, is the variety of the churches. The St. Paul Stockyards were a really big deal in the railroad era, and before the money boys figured out how to fiddle with forward-pricing commodities, and before fat-assed Oprah dissed burger. That attracted skilled immigrants. Skilled legal immigrants. Legal.
Looking forward to the beautiful St, Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church food fair. Wowsers!

Not desperate for friends, nor am I listening to voices in my head. Just drunk.
I am certainly behind the times, and I am oversensitive about governments detaining whistle-blowing journalists - even if they are leftists.
I wouldn't classify myself as stupid, but I am just as full of shit as the next guy.

I've seen that done in some restaurants. Looks good when done well. Since you're trying to seal it and not install carpet, it's probably done well.

Heh. I recently suggested:
Y'know.....I'm thinking there needs to be software to
"disappear into the mist". Since there is so much
freakin' computer power out there, what it would do is
use your computers to conduct RANDOM Google searches
every few minutes.....and "watch" RANDOM YouTube videos,
half the time going off a link that it had just
"watched". What if your computer visited RANDOM blogs
and RANDOMLY followed links from them?
Imagine if each computer you owned did each of these 360
times a day, every day.....then imagine if all of your
friends used it, too.
I'm thinking that the software could be named
"KnockThatShitOffNSA", and could be very popular.

Part of the underlying theory behind this (such as it is) is that the NSA is investing $BILLIONS in a Utah facility to stash this crap.....and which will be obsolete in 5 years or so, 'cause -- frankly -- EVERYTHING in techspace is obsolete in about 5 years. So, why not make it obsolete next week?

But it never actually is stored or viewed by humans on your system. It's just sent to /dev/null -- the same out that Google uses when their spiders crawl the webz, I'm sure. If Al-Qaeda, Snowden, Assange, etc. were smart, they'd post a cleartext program to do this in Visual BASIC that you could type in and run -- after verifying that it wasn't some freakin' scam.

I have two active ones right now -- AT&T's, which handles video, but then kicks internet down to my own LinkSys router for the internal net. One of the features I like in the LinkSys router is that there is a DMZ'd "guest" network that doesn't access LAN resources.....so it's three logical routers in two boxes.

With the new NSA stuff coming out, maybe someone will market a router that specifically isn't NSA compatible or cloud anything.

Mind you, the history you get is from the most literate -- whether they won or lost -- and they'd be trying to spin things in the best light for themselves.
I'd have to say, if you lost control of your culture, your religion, your language, and your haplogroup.....er, you got pwnd, no matter what the books you wrote might say. If you did painted pottery, and are now doing stamped; if you cremated people and are now burying them; if you are now speaking a different language "because it's better"; and all the kids have red hair....yeah, preach it in that scroll you're writing, 'cause all the evidence in the real world is goin' agin' ye.

Or, as I suspect is a bit closer to things......they spread across most of northern Europe through a keen lack of appreciation for indigenous folkways and general ill-temper, but then were followed by a similarly ill-tempered group some centuries later that kicked 'em off most of the continent and ran 'em up into the hills and isles of Great Britain.

If you received a good education in the US between the 1770's and 1970's, you "knew" that the Western World was based on Greece and Rome, and that Mesopotamia [Iraq] was a "cradle of civilization", and that white people were "Caucasian". It probably never hit you why these things didn't fit together right.
Just think about that for a bit -- the Caucasian region was supposed to be a backwater -- but, somehow, everyone's white great-great-great-abuncha-greats-grandpappy hails from there. Which just happens to be the place where wild apple trees grow outside of cultivation, and where a hillside of wild arugula is a common sight.
Of course, being behind the walls of the Russian Empire, and later the USSR, it didn't make things easy.....but there were more than hints that central asia held a few secrets.
There is a huge buried history in central asia, and a lot of what's in textbooks ain't nearly half the story -- if it ain't wrong from the get-go.

.....and that was kind of the source of my irritation back a few. If you were in a relatively homogenous group on a plot of land for five generations, and then people from the east started buying local real estate, but 10 years later you realized all your cousins lived in the hills to the west.....what do you call that? Would it matter if you started carrying a sword like they did, or if you were forbidden to do so? Would it matter if you changed your language for them, and regularly ate food foreign to the area?

You don't have to travel to see there is one Truth. Take Obamacare -- all the critics said that if you expand what insurance have to pay for, insurance rates will go up. That is real, that is reality, that is truth, it doesn't matter if you're speaking Croatian, Swahili, or Welsh. The Administration said that it was "racist" and have been trying to run news stories about premiums going down. Guess what? Truth is Truth.

Just to put this into perspective -- Sarbanes-Oxley was a law passed in 2002 that mandated a whole-bunch of corporate responsibility measures in every publicly-traded organization.....regardless of whether they totally destroyed the company's market value.
I spent 2004-2008 making this fundamentally misguided piece-of-shit work halfway efficiently. On balance, I'm actually proud of what I accomplished -- but barely -- and so few did it as well that the law (though still on the books) has been fundamentally abandoned.
You're starting to hear about Obamacare "Navigators" who are supposed to be as expert on that law as I was on SarbOx. You're starting to hear about problems and people lacking a background. I'm a prime candidate.
If I were to give my honest opinion, Obamacare is wrong for everyone -- if you're young, you're overpaying -- if you're old, it won't be there when you need it. I would rather starve than contribute to this clusterfuck, and preserve my good reputation.
I'd love to be working with a company that made something, and help inform management that they'd better invest in Quality Control and less in Sales Promotions, or less in Customer Support and more in Product Development.....but those jobs are in China or India.

That's what hurt American industry. Too many old timers wanting to do it like we did it in the seventies. Those were the people in charge. "Change is good, you go first." was the mantra.

I agree in part and disagree in part.....I'm in Silicon Valley, and have been for a while -- like attending the West Coast Computer Faire thingies back in the day. The problem is the echoing chasm between old and new.
Let's take a little side thing that I'm still considering as a valid business.....and, BTW, if a moron makes a couple of million on this, I'd appreciate a kick.
There is a commercial widget from China that does small-scale CNC http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=31661 -- they have it for woodworking, but it's CNC, so you can do whatever you want with it.
Only problem is, the tools have to be 4mm shank and are held by a setscrew. All the tools -- and there ain't a lot -- for 4mm are expensive. In the US, a 1/8" collet is the preferred way to hold tools.
For an old-school guy to make a 4mm/eighth-inch widget would be child's play.....because he would know his tools. New guys, that would be difficult.
If you really want to see American greatness, you have to use the old guys' knowledge and "show up every day" with the new guys' energy, numbers, and use with odd materials, subassemblies, and parts, to come up with things that add serious value.
Don't mistake me, I think it can be done. But it's not A v. B, it's A+B.

This is exactly why the word "customer" was replaced with "consumer" 30 or so years ago. "Consumer" can be turned around and be labelled with negative connotations, just like the commie in the article said. It was a deliberate word choice, no question.
