— Dave in Texas Sunday night, you get the bench warmer. And by "bench warmer" I mean dumb.
This place is a little messy on weekends (pshop courtesy The Slublog Galleries)
.jpg" width="400" height="368" border="0" />Here. Have some Tranya or Captain Romulan whatever and calm the eff down.
Let's talk about Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. You get crappy music to put you in the mood, an homage from the Offspring to Slim Pickens riding the bomb into destiny. Enjoy. It's topical, cause the last lyric is "let the motherfucker burn."
So, on to Dr. Strangelove. A film by Stanley Kubrick in 1964, loosely based in part from "Failsafe", but also largely from the book Red Alert by Peter George. Kubrick decided to take a serious topic, thermonuclear annihilation, and make a comedy. Bit of a risk there, but it pays.
It's hard to imagine (for most of you I'm sure, hell I was 5 when it came out), but the world in 1964 was a nervous mess. We were adjusting to the fact that the Soviets now had the bomb, and were preparing to use it, like we were. How you turn that into a comedy is a tricky thing, but it helps to make your characters "caricatures", and Kubrick abused that thoroughly, with General Jack D. Ripper, President Merkin Muffley, General Buck Turgidson, and Major T.J. "King" Kong, played by Slim Pickens.
Story goes the part of Major Kong was to be played by Peter Sellers, who played President Muffley, Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, and of course Dr. Strangelove himself (a rescued Nazi), but Sellers broke his leg during shooting.. they offered the part to Dan Blocker, but his agent said he wouldn't want to be a part of any pinko commie movie, so Slim Pickens got the call.
Could not have worked out better. Thank goodness.
Some scenes:
Plot line: American Air Force General goes nuts, activates a wing of B-52 bombers armed with nukes to start a pre-emptive war with the Russkies.. silliness ensues. I am no movie reviewer, but I believe this is what they call a "dark comedy".
Incidentally, Kubrick had this thing, with lighting and villains.. see if you can spot the technique.

I might be kidding about the D.
Anyhow, watch it sometime. It's a look into our past, in a funny way.
Or not funny. Our past nonetheless.
This post brought to President Rutherford B. Hayes, who never ate a dog. Took rounds during the Civil War, including one that broke his left arm.

Nothing like a good mental health system to take care of dissident thoughts, comrade. It has worked every time it has been tried. Note how craftily the Newtown shooting is being tied to "pre-emptive" mental health, for the children.

The Long Goodbye (1973) is dedicated to him. Robert Altman, who had directed many early episodes of "Bonanza" (1959), and had become friends with him, had originally cast him in the role of Roger Wade. However, Blocker died before filming commenced, so the role was subsequently filled by Sterling Hayden. [...]
Blocker was approached to play Major "King" Kong in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) after Peter Sellers was injured. However, according to Terry Southern (co-writer), Blocker's agent rejected the script as being "too pinko".[...]
He was an activist liberal Democrat and a staunch opponent of the Vietnam War.[...]

I remember Hubert Humphrey running a five minute campaign commercial against Richard Nixon in the fall of 1968 after the showing of "Fail Safe" on network TV. Don't think that dirty politics was born yesterday.
And of course, the infamous "Daisy" commercial that Lyndon Douche Johnson ran in 1964 against Barry Goldwater.
And Sterling Hayden, despite any WWII decoration, was a commie symp. I hope he is roasting in Hell. He played big "right wing nuts" in a couple of movies and loved every minute of it.
George Scott played Buck Turgidson, and I don't know what his story was, except he probably needed the money. And James Earl Jones played the navigator on the B-52 (minor part).
Stanley Kubrick went around and met a lot of academics prior to making Dr. Strangelove, and he thought most of them were dull and stupid, except for one guy. In the course of the meetings and cocktail parties, met Henry Kissinger. Dr. Strangelove is actually based on Kissinger. Loosely.
"Dr. Strangelove" is a funny movie on one level, but I actually knew officers in SAC and they were not particularly funny or weird or evil guys. Just very smart and dedicated patriots, who had a very hard job that they tried their best to do. But it's always the way of Hollywood to mock anything that they can and pull it down into the mud.

Boy you are not kidding. Basically the EPA regs on old petrochem tanks in hard states are onerous as hades. Part of the reason so many dead gas stations are on the US routes is the franchise holders decided the clean up and recapitalization of the physical plant needed was not worthwhile.

100 gallons is only 23100 cubic inches -- roughly 13 cubic feet, or just over 2'x3'x4'. If that's the size, you could do it yourself some night after midnight and ditch it over the rail of a convenient bridge near you.

IIRC, some place require that the top be (partially) opened to provide easier inspection access. I tink OilDri followed by concrete would do the trick if you want to safely leave it in place. Backhoe is best as you see what actually happened, but then you have to dispose of a rusted tank (non-trivial).

That's what I would do, too. Especially if it's been leaking for years, you could get into a whole mandated soil remediation nightmare that would go on for years and cost you every cent you ever had, plus encumber the property so you couldn't sell it. At least, that's how it works in California. If I were you, I would never mention this to anyone again.

My 101 was a joke but I worked with my brother to remove one at his house. There are rules where the samples need to be taken (IIRC 3 places surface 1/2 way down and at the base).We dug the couple feet of soil on top of the tank by hand, hooked tow straps on the (completely empty) to pull the tank out. We used standing 10' poles so the straps pulled up when hooked to the truck. After that we looked at the hole left and the tank condition and took the samples from the state designated locations.

Somewhat related to disposing of a fuel tank, I don't know if I posted about this before, but disposing of a horse is almost impossible, because of rendering laws and hay prices. So now there is a huge homeless horse problem, which of course is much more humane. Just like every fucking liberal solution to their imagined problems.

I'd bet money that fuel tank is a 275 gal. They're far and away the most common size foe residential and a ton of commercial setups.
Do some research, as was suggested, though. You might find just leaving it alone is best.

Oh, I just cringe.
Let me put it this way:
In my job, I'm ready to write a substantial grant check for a very worthy and much needed project.
The project cannot go ahead because some idiotic bureaucrat has decreed that every single room must have a smoke detector. Because there's a regulation.
Now, there are plentiful smoke and CO2 and what-have-you detectors in every possible spot, and it's not necessary that there be a smoke detector in every single room, and the project for which I am ready to write a check is extraordinarily important and urgent: Oh, no! First, the (completely unnecessary) smoke detectors must be installed in every single room!
The consequences will be ridiculous, but the bureaucracy does not care.
I abominate bureaucracy.

My 101 was a joke but I worked with my brother to remove one at his house. There are rules where the samples need to be taken (IIRC 3 places surface 1/2 way down and at the base).We dug the couple feet of soil on top of the tank by hand, hooked tow straps on the (completely empty) to pull the tank out. We used standing 10' poles so the straps pulled up when hooked to the truck. After that we looked at the hole left and the tank condition and took the samples from the state designated locations.

"Dr. Strangelove" is pretty funny in it's own way, becaue the way Slim Pickens played the pilot, I know that nobody like that would have ever cut it as a SAC B-52 pilot. Likewise, I knew the base commander at a large US Air Force base years ago, and he could be the friendliest guy you could imagine, unlike the parody of Jack Ripper.
"Fail Safe" was much scarier to me, because the guy that played the pilot of the Vindicator bomber that reached Moscow was not unlike some guys in SAC. Smart, determined, professional.

I hope so, but they are going to be so screwed by the salary cap penalty that they got last spring. The salary cap penalty for going over the salary cap in 2010, the season that was "uncapped", but that there was a gentlemen's agreement on. The same cap that the NFL is saying did not exist when the NFLPA sued them for having a cap in 2010. Only Dallas and Washington were punished for going over the cap, and the other teams that did not have cap money removed.
Of course, only Washington and Dallas play in the same division as the head of the committee that came up with the punishment, John Mara of the Giants. I really hate the Giants, and hope that Victor Cruz gets syphilis.

"A Clockwork Orange" was clearly a vote against an authoritarian state, regardless of how nasty the perps were. That's one movie that I only watched once and have no urge to watch it again.
Kubrick could film a good story, but he was an odd bird. I thought "2001" was a great flick when I was 13, but when I watched it 30 years later, I could see that a lot of the movie was very disturbing in its subtext.

Exactly. People among the nobility and high class shorn the hair and donned whigs in order to avoid head lice. That is where the term "big wig" came from. If you had lot's of money you could affford to have your wig cleaned regulary and it would be all poofy.

Posted by: rickl at January 20, 2013 10:27 PM
Not just crazy people. Kubrick used exaggerated facial expressions often with characters in all of his films IIRC. It was done well, though and avoided a stagey feel. In Dr. Strangelove, it's most apparent with Turgidson and Strangelove. It was a recurring thing in all his films in tandem with his use of masks, or, mask like faces. Kind of like how he was big on symmetry in a lot of shots.

I was 9 and had just moved from Tampa to Huntsville, AL aka ground zero.
The Boeing building I lived a 1/4 mile from had a marked fallout shelter and Nasa HQ was 6 miles away. Prime targets and we knew it because I got to hang with all the Army and Nasa kids who's parents were employed by Uncle Sam.
Fail Safe was IMHO a funny as hell movie because of all the stereotypes and Sellers playing so many roles. Maj Kong was the capper though with his ride into ground zero. Something I've done with several employers of late as contracts ended.

A hairdresser once told me that the products used to straighten their hair would make a white person's hair fall out in no time. Black hair is "tougher" - but still, years and years of applying very harsh chemicals to their scalps does a lot of damage eventually. Although my hairdresser was black herself, she preferred white clients because, according to her, black hair is much more difficult to work with.

Haha... yeah. Mostly. Captain Quinn is a definite exception, being relatively animated. Also, Feeney, to a lesser extent. I think Kubrick was going for the repressed emotion thing, for the period. Some of the characters are portrayed with very heavy makeup, that conveys a mask like appearence, to add to the facade. I think Barry Lyndon might be his best work, actually.

My best friend is a farmer who used to have an above ground diesel tank. When the new EPA regs came out stating it had to have a concrete enclosure for spill containment, he had the required upgrade priced. It was going to cost $15k. However, the reg stipulates that "mobile" tanks are exempt from the containment requirement. So he went to an equipment auction and bought a ragged-out flatbed trailer for $200, drug it to his land, and hoisted his tank onto it with a crane. Wah-lah, "mobile fuel tank".

There will be so few houses to look at that aren't attached to a realtor paying the 3.5% (half the 7% they split) to have a professional fighting for you is probably worth it.
Foreclosures are going to be mostly the same thing once you see them on the market. ( a realtor that gets 3.5% is already part of the deal)
The only time I see not using a Realtor is if you stumble on a property where no Realtor will be used.
Also many (Realtors) if you do all the legwork will knock a 1% or more off their cut if you make that deal with them up front.

A few rules for real estate --
1) it is a business deal -- treat it like one. You can love your home all you want, but don't let your emotions ruin your business deal.
2) location, location, location. it is better to have the worst house in a great neighborhood than to have a great house in a bad neighborhood.
3) real estate agents get paid by percentage. the more you pay, the more they make -- whether they are your agent or the other guys.
4) your inspector/engineer is your best friend. hidden defects can kill you financially. if you are not good with contracts, budget for an attorney -- most people spend more on their house than anything else in their life. being careful is worth it. be willing to pay the people that can save your ass.
5) most times, you make all your money going in -- that is, on your purchase price.
6) watch out for weird costs -- street assessments, water districts, etc. sometimes there are costs out there you don't know about that can be lots of bux.
7) be willing to walk from a deal -- even if you have a lot of time and money tied up in getting close to the end. if it doesn't feel right, don't do it -- and don't let anyone pressure you into doing it.
make sure your earnest money / due diligence period is in your favor. take your time and do a thorough pre-purchase investigation. write your offer so you can get your earnest money back.

Foreclosures without the involvement of a major bank or Federal agency (VERY RARE) would be fine. Any others should be looked at with caution.
The short story is that there was a raft of "issue 1000 mortgages, transfer them to a trust, sell shares in the trust to investors" things where they were supposed to be foolproof and safe because major banks handled all the paperwork and, further, handled the next 30 years of mortgage payments for each of the properties.
It has now been proved beyond the least shred of doubt that many of the mortgages were not transferred properly to the trusts (in fact, some properties were listed as transferred to more than one). Further, much of the paperwork was bungled (see "robosigning" http://tinyurl.com/atrxzn
along the way.....oh, and this stuff was swapped among banks like it was poker chips -- sometimes 6-10 times [local law generally says that any transfers of mortgages must be recorded by the County Clerk and a tax stamp fee paid in order to be valid -- the banks just invented an alternative registrar out of thin air and used it for about 10 years].
And this sort-of worked for a while, until the mortgages started defaulting. At that point, the last holder of the thing discovered that it was a bogus poker chip and went to the false registrar to make good....and they gimmicked up some documents from the banks....and took 'em to willing local judges....who went along with the foreclosure, being that the guy hadn't paid.
So you may be paying for an entity's interest in a property, when that entity (a) never owned the property, (b) never had the obligation on the property properly assigned to it, (c) never had a valid executory interest as representative of the holder of the obligation, and never had the obligation transferred a number of times (according to the County Clerk).
If it was "Joe Smith foreclosed on Fred Jones" and it's a bargain, go ahead. If it's "Wells Fargo as representative for REIT Trust 2005-47 foreclosed on Fred Jones", you've been warned.

My brewing partner who is also a realtor and a man I've found to be very wise in the ways of these things, says: either buy now at low rates OR sock money away and wait until rates increase, causing housing prices to fall; buy off the extra points with a big downpayment, and get a cheaper house at what's still a low interest rate.

The thing is just because a movie's beautifully shot (and Barry Lyndon was) doesn't mean it's a good movie. Cf., Road to Perdition. Beautifully shot. Somewhat predictable. Boring as hell.
It's a factor. You need a lot more, though, to make a movie work. Most of BL's acting was perfectly fine. The writing wasn't really bad. The plot just wasn't there for an interesting movie, at least one that was that long.

Posted by: Icedog at January 21, 2013 12:14 AM (9ScGj)
As a Realtor, I will say go ahead and use one. Residential real estate is a nightmare because of all the regulations that the government has slapped onto the real estate industry. The Realtor can guide you through all of the process, and make sure that you have all the documents that are needed for your protection.
As for the commission, we don't give a shit about a bigger commission check, we just want the commission check. So most Realtors will work hard to make sure that the sale gets done.
Also, make sure that when you talk to a Realtor that you want him to be the "Buyer's Agent", that way he/she represents you. If you don't get this up front, the agent will be by law the "Seller's Agent".

Morrissey was charged with Aggravated Malicious Wounding, a felony in Virginia. He was ultimately convicted of a lesser charge of assault & battery, a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor does not usually limit a convict's legal right to possess a weapon. However, a history of violence should.

I remember Morrissey from back in 89 when he became Commonwealth's Attorney in Richmond (it is the same as the DA). Back then he was dealing in "gray market" cars and was thought to be a fucking slimeball, but it was Richmond and he was a Dem, so he got elected.

That may have been since I took all the bundles apart and put new wire nuts on. But when I opened up the light's center channel (that V piece of metal in a long fluorescent fixture) there was an extra black wire that was bare in it. I turned of the switch and tested and it was the only live wire. Capped it hooked up the new fixture but am confused why it fixed the next room. Bleeding off enough that the ballasts weren't getting what they need? odd in as much as if it were a real short it would just blow a fuse but 3 sets of 2 T8s work now that didn't used to.

I considered going there and saying:
(1) "You, I like -- but the rest of these treehugging assclowns I could do without."
(2) "WTF is with backing down on 'Fascism'? Somebody's got to call it what it is, and that seemed reasonably descriptive to me."
But I haven't found anything yet that would justify $27 for his book and whatever medical bills I picked up from the mob afterward.

Florescents usually pull ridiculously low current. I agree not likely a live wire touching the case. There's usually a step up transformer, and the old ones have starters that use to go out a lot too (little cylandar about 1 in dia and 2 in long that twists into the fixture). Most new fixtures don't. When I have had problems with blinking tubes, its usually been improper seating of the bulbs, in a couple of cases bad transformers. Or a tube thats starting to fail. If its the tube you should see it start blinking again soon.

They have all sorts of goodies, so long as you don't mind paying $8 a pound for salad. Or $5 for a twice-baked potato with pancetta that is quite tasty, scarcely qualifies as "health food", and derails most of the standard "famine-based" diet plans.

I think your crappy connection is the leading contender.
It all stared with the kitchen light being blinky. Put 4 new bulbs in and it helped sort of (but you still had to play with the switch to get it to light fully) Bought a new fixture figuring it was a bad ballast. But now that 3 others that had similar issues suddenly work fine I'm confused.

Of course, my favorite story regarding automated translation comes from the Cold War, when a top-secret research project created a translator that would run on an IBM/360.
They went to show it to a top general, and he said, "put in 'The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak'." -- and got back a scrawl of Cyrillic. Then he said, "put it in backwards"....and got back a strip of printout that said, "the vodka's not so bad, but the meat has turned."

This one never gets old:
Col Rutherford Hayes and Supply Sgt William McKinley were in the same 23rd Ohio regiment in the Civil War.
They were bffs during/after the war. Hayes was wounded at the battle of South Mountain a few days before Antietam. McKinley was part of the Burnsides Bridge attack and spent the day shuttling ammo and supplies.
Two Buckeye badasses.
23rd only regiment in US history with future Potus x2.

But think about owning a setup like this -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAdnZ6xsWtU; or something like http://tinyurl.com/axph6eb -- each of these would easily fit in someone's garage.
Y'know, the 1911 was created with the idea that it could be widely manufactured using the technology available then....102 years ago. Somehow, I suspect that materials knowledge and availability, as well as machine-tool capability, might have advanced in that time.
If it comes to confiscation or supply limitations, the solution is the same either way -- open wide the invention of Americans, and find ways of supplying the open-market demands out there. If you can't shell your ammo in brass, devise another alloy and mill it! If you can't get factory powder, cook your own. If lowers are regulated, CNC 'em. If gunbarrels get scarce, buy a lathe and make enough for yourself and to sell. The only reason unemployment is so high today is because everyone is looking for a government-approved job producing government-approved stuff at government-approved wages. If you just look at what people want, there's always more to do. Figure a way to get ammo across the border inwards and do it -- or make more here.
