— Pixy Misa Hello, 'Rons & 'Ettes. It's me again -- the Damn Dirty RINO you've all come to know and dread. I'm filling in for Maet tonight as he attends to important matters, but try not to despair. I'll make my best effort to suppress my long-winded tendencies and just get on with the links you've grown accustomed to here on the ONT over the years.
Having notched another calendar year on the planet this week, I've been doing a bit of introspection. And, frankly, I don't usually enjoy doing that. For some reason, every time I allow myself to start re-examining some of my life choices hitherto, it culminates in me sitting alone in a drunken stupor at the local Waffle Hut with the inner workings of a western omelet running down the front of my Yngwie Malmsteen t-shirt.
But, this year is different. This year, I've decided seize the initiative.
So, rather than spend precious hours that I can never regain wallowing in the mire of self-recrimination and regret, I've concluded that this is the year to take action. I can choose to continue wasting my time focusing on the things I haven't yet achieved, or I can devote that energy to actually achieving them. And, as the eminent cob-logger tmi3rd recently informed me, in order to achieve those things, I'm just going to have to get over my fear of failure. After all, it's not like I'd be the first guy to fail spectacularly.
After all, when you get right down to it, failure is nothing but an opportunity to devise another path to success. When countless hours at the gym aren't enough to enable you to open a simple bottle, then perhaps it's time to take a different approach and come up with a more effective means.
Now, don't get me wrong; nobody likes to fail. I hate it as much as anyone else does. In fact, it's that crippling hatred of failure that has kept me from taking a lot of chances that could have paid off had I simply gotten over myself. It's entirely based on the notion that people will see me as a hapless, pathetic figure who made a fool of himself. But, the truth of the matter is, if you knew of often people really think about you, you'd care a whole lot less about what they think about you.
And, in the end, there are very few people in anyone's life whose opinions should carry any weight in their day-to-day decisions. And it's those people who stand to benefit the most when you give yourself a chance to succeed. After all, those people will continue to love you and believe in you, no matter how many times you fail. And when you finally allow yourself to repay them for that love and support by persevering through the tough times, you'll experience a level of joy you never thought possible.
And, having finally come around to this obvious bit of wisdom, I've decided to do what any self respecting RINO does: keep charging ahead. Also, impale anyone who gets too close.
First order of business: Learn to bake.
Tonight's ONT brought to you by 80's Hair Metal:

OK, sorry to go O/T so soon but I need some input from the Horde. The youngest Cranky Gurl told us last night she wants to enlist in the Navy's Nuclear Field. I have to go meet her recruiter tomorrow and I would like to have some background information from any of you with first hand experience. I'm just gonna lurk and read.
Thanks in advance for any gouge you can provide.

look, I am probably way one of the most potty-mouthed ol' ladies on the planet. but, when people start making the jizz jokes about an actual person, I understand Ace's frustration. Despite our pantslessness, we are not actually in the privacy of our own homes here. We are in Ace's *very* public house. To me, not so difficult to respect that. Fuck.

I think what happened last night is a good example of where that line is, that one where you stop being funny and are simply mean and gross. Someone good at edgy humor has an innate knowledge of what the line looks like and won't cross it. I don't, so I self-delete far more than I ever post.

If nuclear related college courses/training isn't normally covered, tell her to make that a negotiating point. They can find some funding from some program somewhere and incorporate that into her sign up agreement. Salesmen, everywhere, work on commission.
Post sequestration? Take what you can get.
But you are going to have to move closer to her job when/if you want her to be involved in the twilight years. So there's that.

That's been going on for quite a while now since Bush v2.0. Its not necessarily indicative of anything...until it is.
The Yemen govt is worthless and corrupt, so the locals out in the rural areas are happy if someone comes along and helps them with medical ailments, treats their animals and such cuz the govt doesn't give a shit about them.
The US military has spent years doing meet/greet/treat type missions to show the flag and develop good will, contacts and dime droppers.

We didn't have beer twist-offs until the 1980s when Miller piss began being brewed here under license because real men keep flat bottle-openers in their wallets here to open real bottles that can be reused dozens of times unlike the twist-offs.
It also killed the stubby bottle that was literally scientifically engineered to hold the 12oz of a beer in the most compact form and with the strongest, most long-lasting bottle. And all in brown glass that is best for protecting the beer's quality from sunlight.
But the stupid breweries thought the huge numbers of sales of Miller in clear-glass, longneck bottles was because of its appearance when it was just alot of people trying out the product for the first time.
I worked at the U of Toronto's liquor licensee in the 1980s and for the first school year when Miller made its appearance, we went through 2 skids/palettes a week of it just as we did for the two big sellers--Labatt's Blue and Molson Canadian. The following school year we only went through half a skid a week of Miller. People were just trying out the new beer on the block.
But by then all the major breweries had taken alot (or all?) of their products and changed them to longnecks thinking innovative packing had been responsible for Millers' initial large sales thus screwing all the bars that had had their refrigerator shelves custom-built to take X number of rows of stubbies since the early 1970s.
http://tinyurl.com/mkob8lu
The stubbies are so durable that former Canadian bottles were used in Jamaica for a long time. (Maybe even to this day?)

It somewhat works in places with a tradition of civilisation, like Iraq. (No, don't laugh. Seriously. Iraqis were literate for what, three times as long as we English?)
I suspect that meet/greet/treat is just lost on Pashtun.
Yemen is an interesting mix of ancient civilisation and ancient savagery.

I still have the same church key opener that was "issued" to me the day I arrived in Aschaffenburg, Germany in March of 1988. It says "Heylands", the local beer.

--Remember the ice-brewing fad of the '90s? There were probably a lot of brands that spiked just out of curiosity. I know my college roommates (I was not a beer drinker then) would occasionally try something new (e.g., Red Dog, Icehouse) to see what all the fuss was about --but soon enough regressed to their favorite, if only to save money.

Yes. Drone strikes on HVT's were happening in Yemen during Bush's term and started when AQ types started fleeing Iraq due to surge and the Awakening and setting up shop there.
Since it not an active insurgency like A-stan, it was based on specific intel, not suspicious behavior of unknown individuals as has happened in A-stan.
The rural Yemani locals are very unhappy with the AQ types and their heavy handed behavior

>>How'd it fish ?
It was OK on the dry. We had a couple dozen plus to the boat and they dumped and missed as many more. But a 50% rate isn't bad for clients.
We have had a pretty rough season as far as riverflow is concerned. Most of the rivers are under restricted fishing hours to keep anglers off the warm water...so, lines up at 2. Makes for early mornings.

I'm convinced that in the kitchen, no matter how good you are, everyone has that one thing (or category) that they absolutely can't do worth a shit. I used to be a line cook back when I was actually in country music (it's hard as shit to pay the bills in Nashville as a nobody singer). The chef I worked for was phenomenal, but the poor bastard couldn't cook ribs or make BBQ sauce to save his life.
For me, it's sauces. I can't make a beurre blanc for shit.

Eruption? Fffft. One of my best friends played it at assembly in 10th grade. From al.com:
I know as a guitarist, Eddie Van Halen means a lot to you – like he does to a lot of people – especially as you were growing up. Got any cool stories from when Brother Cane toured with Van Halen in the mid-90s as their opening act?
The coolest one was the last show we did, Irvine Meadows (Amphitheatre in California), he came into the dressing room, and I kept wanting to tell him ... You know, I played "Eruption" when I was in 10th grade at a pep rally. I had glasses and pencil-thin neck and braces, and I stepped to the middle of the gym and played the finger-tapping part and the crowd went nuts and that sealed the deal: I was going to do this for a living.
And I kept wanting to tell him the story. But I thought, "How many times has he heard this kind of thing?" So he came into the dressing room and the band kept saying, "Tell him, Dave. Tell him." And he said, "Tell me what?" and I told him the story and again he threw his arms around me and said, "Man, that's the greatest story ever." To be able to tell him that story was just very surreal.

I just have a hard time with Frog sauces in general...mostly because I'm not enough of a stickler on temperature control.
On the other hand, I used to date a buxom (38FF) redhead that was lost at cooking beyond putting it in the microwave. I was making spaghetti one night, and she "wanted to help." I had the sauce almost done, so I told her she could do the pasta. I got a blank stare. So I explained that first, she needed to fill this pot with some water and then bring the water to a boil.
"How do I know when it's boiling?"

Anything in the candy department really. My caramel apples never turn out right either.
Although lately I've been mastering the "quick cooking" stuff. Where I take a jar of some sauce add ingredients and turn it into something edible.

Hardhitting.
No, not really. If you've been following the story there was not much new at it.
I'll file it as "may grab the attention of some LIVs" but past that not much.
CNN decided (from my perspective) to place much of the emphasis on the security failure, with some on the cover-up. Very little on the military response.
While they did note that Carney lied about State's involvement in the talking points, they didn't follow through on it much.
A LIV watching might be stunned about the total lack of an investigation.
Having said all of that, it tilted negative towards the administration, less so towards HRC, but only because they let Paul "The Forehead" Begala speak for some really odd reason, and he called the R's "bullies."
I didn't finish it, because the wife wanted to go to bed. I laid down, but couldn't sleep....

You asked a question last night about the 410 gallon tank, but I had already signed off and didn't see it until this morning.
The tank was on the ground floor of a two-story house set into the hillside, resting on the slab. It moved to a one-story building, where it still rests on the slab. Moving it upstairs just referred to getting it back to driveway level to get it out of the first house.
Having done a fair amount of stress analysis a few years ago, I can say that under no circumstances should an aquarium that size be put on the second floor of anything other than a custom-built house. Even against a support wall the tank would simply warp and eventually destroy the floor joists or the brackets holding them...again, in a normal house.

It really depends on how you build the tank. Long and low along a wall. 410 gallons could be no problem. Remember waterbeds? then there is what's underneath,Jack posts in a unfinished basement would hold that load easy. The Engineering is easy if you want it bad enough. Even building a base that spreads the load out over the length of a wall might work.

Right logprof and Political Hat.
I think it's a worthwhile question: let's imagine someone invented artificial bacon that was completely indistinguishable from actual pork bacon... made entirely from some weird voodoo mix of veggies and artificial proteins. Let's also suppose it could be proven safe to eat and that it was even healthier for your diet than regular bacon. Unlimited amounts of it could be made without butchering a single pig. Would you eat it, or would you insist on the real thing?

Don't know if you knew, but they posted a Hall of Fame induction thread yesterday. It's pretty classic with all the older QB's showing up - Bradshaw takes up explaining all the jokes instead of Ben R.; Favre keeps saying he's leaving and then showing back up.

I was in a band with a really good bass player who would do this all the time at GC, but only to the biggest tools who were obviously showing off. He'd stop playing as soon as they sheepishly set the bass down and walked off. It was priceless.

Mike Judge's follow-up flick to Idiocracy, Extract, opens with a great scene inside of a Guitar Center. It features two young males who work there completely ignoring the pleas for help from an older guy in the store... because oh-so-attractive Cindy (played by Mila Kunis) is asking them a bunch of bullshit questions about an expensive guitar, in the hope she can get them to "loan" it to her so that she can steal it.

But I would rather Hey there groovy chick then girls in elementary school giving blow jobs. Guess I'm a prude.
I have a niece who, at eight years old, is already, er, getting positive attention from boys. Like I say to her dad, the next several years are going to be downright spooky.
However, and thankfully, despite their differences, her parents are working hard to stay together and raise the kids together. From what I've read, young teenage girls who have a father in the home (instead of a "weekend dad" or "Disneyland dad") are far less likely to be, shall we say, irresponsible with themselves as young'uns.
Let's hope the research is correct.

Agree with your points. However, some of the context comes from last night's discussion. The tank in question is 32 x 36 x 96 (actually now that I do the math it comes out to slightly more than 410 gallons), and the question was about how I supported it upstairs in a two-story house (a misunderstanding based on my reference to stairs in the original comment).

You're not mistaken -- Thor has a potential job opportunity near or in the Triangle.....and that went contrariwise to the previous plan, which was to settle in with family in Arkansas -- where Tammy had gone on ahead. So Tammy got to spend all this time without Thor and just as Thor was to spring into her arms....Tammy gets to do the springing. And leave her mom's arrangements up in the air. And play social wife to Thor's business connections. And leave the gorgeous countryside.

I live in Seattle, which after my arrival was re-classified as an earthquake prone area (seriously -- they hadn't noticed the Cascadia subduction zone until after I arrived).
Before that, however, I and my aquariums were located in LA, and rode out both the Landers and Northridge quakes. Except for the extremely tall display tanks there was no problem in those two events, and even those tanks survived successfully, although they rocked alarmingly.
Trip down memory lane: I had a 13 x 36 x 48 display tank (110 gallons, basically two 55's made out of really thick glass and stacked) that, to this day, I wish I had moved to Seattle with the rest of the collection. You just can't find that kind of tank anymore without buying custom-built.

--LMAO Lazer. I remember when my friends in college bought that. The label read: "Lazer: A Specialty Malt Liquor."
They also heard about a convenience store in the ghetto that sold a legendary 64 oz. bottle of Olde English and got one. It took the three of them a good chunk of the night to polish it off. For the rest of the school year, it was a "trophy" place atop the cabinets. When it came time to move out, instead of just throwing it out, they put a Post-It note on it that read, "Damn, that's a big beer!" and left it on top of the dumpster.

I belong to a tropical fish club in Silicon Valley....and there are truly wild earthquake stories -- like one guy who had a 20-gallon plexi tank on a stand in a 2nd floor room before the quake -- which ended up on the floor afterward.....with 19 gallons (and fish!) still in it.
And, btw, plexi tanks aren't that difficult to build -- or have built.....and you should, 'cause extra thickness (especially in tops) really helps with warping.

As I may have let slip previously, I attended the University of Casual Sun-Bathing back in the early '80s. This was a very interesting time, because the administration was trying to put a lid on the hedonism that the campus had grown infamous for pursuing, but things kept busting through. As an example, I believe that my dorm -- in fact, my hall (Tesoro) -- had the last "blowout dorm party" before new rules came down against certain forms of advertising, bouncers, and charging admission (Fall, '79).
One of the many fond memories I have of this occasion involved making up "punch" for the ladies. Evidently, there was some sort of time-honored recipe for this stuff. The guys had borrowed a beverage service unit from the dining commons -- you know, the stainless-steel tower with a spigot that normally dispenses OJ? -- and began this weird scavenger hunt.
One box brown sugar, check. One container of frozen lemonade concentrate, check (no mixing, just open it and throw the contents in). One container "fruit punch" concentrate, check. Two bottles rum, two bottles vodka, two bottles everclear -- check, check, check....and while the more experienced guys are mixing up this stuff, I'm watching in amazement that they think that anyone would willingly drink it. After all the ingredients were in, they closed the top and a couple of beefier guys picked up the entire metal widget and shook it vigorously for a bit.
They put it back down and popped the top to see if everything had mixed thoroughly, and -- honest to god -- fumes slowly wafted over the edge of the thing and blopped towards the floor. My eyes bugged out. The "mixmaster" who had this recipe handed down to him nodded sagely and declared it ready.
I actually tried a sip -- it was cloyingly sweet and didn't seem all that alcoholic, at first.....

Agreed, although the cost of plexiglass tanks has skyrocketed over the last 15 years or so. I switched over to plexiglass in 1994 and never looked back. Well, except for a couple of custom-built 93 gallon glass tanks that I picked up in 2004. The 410 is definitely plexiglass...if it had been glass, I never would have gotten it out of the first house, let alone into the new building.
I have a couple of off-the-rack thin 100 gallon plexi tanks and you can see the bulge in the front in the middle, but it doesn't affect their structural integrity. The rest of the plexi tanks were custom built and much sturdier and have held up beautifully over the years.

I had a roomie from my college days -- guy was, IIRC, 6'11". Found out from him about how even large-size shoes pretty much top-out at size 17....when you found a tossed shoe in the living room, it was like a D&D prop. He drove a pickup because he didn't fit in cars.
Anyway, he finds this deal on a 200 gallon glass tank and stand, and he and I go off to get it. Deal gets done, cash is exchanged, stuff is loaded into his pickup, we drive back to the apartment, we move the stand in....and he's like "ok, let's carry this in."
I heft the end sticking off the tailgate -- I can move it enough to bounce the shocks, but can't lift the end off the truck. "Nuh-uh," saith I....
So we go fetch this dolly he had around for some reason, and the plan is that I'll push it from the truck and he'll lift the free end down to the dolly, then we'll swap and I'll man the dolly while he lifts the other end and totes it to the apartment. Great idea, and executed flawlessly.....except that beads of sweat literally start popping from his forehead as soon as he takes the full weight of the beast.
And so it goes, and we're racing in from the parking lot and I'm steadying it on this poor dolly while noting the alarming fact that the dolly's axles are eroding the inside of the wheel assemblies as we're going. And his forehead is going "drip, drip, drip...." And we get to the doorway, and the dolly is NOT getting pushed over that threshold.....so we do a quick change of plans and reverse the tank so that he backs in and the dolly will pull over.....and we get the tank in the place right up to where the dolly's wheels are at the doorstep -- and the metal, wheeled dolly completely fails. It totally flattens out. The wheels go splay, the bent metal unbends, the tubes crumple -- it's not just pinin' for the fjords, it's singin' with the choir eternal. And the roomie puts his end on the floor and lets his body sag against the wall.
And I'm looking at that collapsed bit of scrap and thinkin' -- "that could've been me! Fook!"
Put me off of glass tanks forever larger than 55s.

The final piece of the story occurred in October 2004 when 200 cans of the stolen beer were found at a marijuana growing operation in the forest near Doaktown, New Brunswick about 100 kilometres northeast of Fredericton.[4] "Six of the cans were discovered with bite marks in them indicating a bear had, at one point, been into the beer," the RCMP said in a news release. The release said there was no sign of either the animal or the people who had stashed the beer

Completely agree, exxcept that my two oldest tanks (and the largest glass ones) are two 125's and I've hauled those through three moves. It was a challenge the first two times, and the last time (in 2009) I discovered that it was much harder than I remembered from 1992 and 1996. I have a lot of glass 75's that are pretty manageable, too (they were just so cheap compared to plexiglass that I couldn't resist).
I cannot even begin to imagine how much heavier a 200 gallon would be. The size would be one factor (about 1.6), but then also the thickness of the glass would probably add another 33-50%. Eeek. No wonder the dolly collapsed.
I have a plexiglass 240 (good, sturdy tank) however, that I actually moved by myself once. It was only from room to room, but getting it off the stand, into the next room and then back onto the stand was surprisingly easy.

Put me off of glass tanks forever larger than 55s.
Posted by: cthulhu at August 07, 2013 02:20 AM (T1005)
Completely agree, exxcept that my two oldest tanks (and the largest glass ones) are two 125's and I've hauled those through three moves. It was a challenge the first two times, and the last time (in 2009) I discovered that it was much harder than I remembered from 1992 and 1996. I have a lot of glass 75's that are pretty manageable, too (they were just so cheap compared to plexiglass that I couldn't resist).
I cannot even begin to imagine how much heavier a 200 gallon would be. The size would be one factor (about 1.6), but then also the thickness of the glass would probably add another 33-50%. Eeek. No wonder the dolly collapsed.
I have a plexiglass 240 (good, sturdy tank) however, that I actually moved by myself once. It was only from room to room, but getting it off the stand, into the next room and then back onto the stand was surprisingly easy.

In the Great Waterlily Move recently, I extracted the 110-gallon agricultural vat from the ground (after moving another out of the way) and moved it about 30' singlehandedly -- it took three guys to lift it into the trailer.
I used a floor jack, a bunch of lumber, some cinder blocks, a pick, a bunch of plywood, and a 1000# capable floor dolly from Harbor Freight.

I'm guessing those against the bug fixes were using said bugs to game the system or stick it to players who didn't know how to exploit them.

I saw one question/answer pair. Leno asked him about Russia's ban on homosexuality. Something to the effect of "Why aren't people more outraged about this?" His answer was 100% "I/me", e.g. "throughout my presidency I've been outspoken about basic human rights", etc. Not much about Russia. Then he went on to talk about "my visit to Africa" where he saw disturbing human rights abuses. Silence in the studio.
If I didn't know better I'd have thought Leno set him up. I almost stayed to listen to the next question. Almost.

did you find this one:
Twenty-two physical and chemical properties of a typical automatic transmission fluid were determined. In most cases the properties were determined over a range of temperatures. In general, air solubility, volumetric thermal expansion, and specific heat increase with increasing temperature; whereas, surface tension, specific gravity, viscosity, bulk modulus, density, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity decrease with increasing temperature.

There are some highly controversial treatment regimens for chronic Lyme. As in, I wish I could do double italics to express just how sketchy they are considered by the overwhelming majority of physicians. Of course, most cardiomyopathies are not reversible, so it might be moot to your case even if the (alleged) chronic infection could otherwise be treated. There was a guy where I did my training just outside Detroit who was infamous for treating chronic Lyme with something like year-long courses of antibiotics. Totally random fact I feel like throwing in--the hospital where I did my ER residency is where Kervorkian brought his patients, and where he ultimately died as well.
The rash is not an absolute requirement for Lyme, though it is present in the vast majority of cases. And your hypothesis about gene expression might be on the mark, as I think Borella species are intracellular infections--too lazy and tired to look up or care that much about microbiology at this moment. And while Lyme is mostly an East Coast/New England thing, there are scattered cases throughout the country.

I like the occasional whiskey sour, myself. Unfortunately, my stomach isn't crazy about the extra acid. I had to give up salty dogs because of that, which was a bummer.
But, I can still handle a good gin n' tonic. (Screw you, ampersand!)

Adriane, I love a good amaretto sour, fine choice.
Walt, that drink sounds hideous, no offense. I'm a fan of all whisk/e/y, especially bourbon, cognac, and scotch. I have never been a tequilla fan and drink vodka only rarely. Of course, I'm neither young nor a woman, so I'm not the target demo either.

Ok, internet died for a moment there, I'll try posting this story for a third time:
Several years ago, my brother and I bought a bottle of Tanqueray Ten for our buddy's college graduation. Except for perhaps 2 shots' worth, he killed the whole bottle in a few hours. Mind you, he was drunk before he started, and I think he was having other drinks as well. That night he just dropped head-first into a hot tub, and might have drowned if his g/f (now wife) hadn't pulled his head back out of it. The next day he was confused where all the expensive gin went and was mad that we hadn't stopped him from drinking all of it.
