Alright, you morons with the frozen pipes? Don't do this! House fire caused by tenant thawing frozen pipes.
Keep an eye on the sun. Big ass sunspot 1944 is rotating into geoeffective position for Earth directed CME's. In fact, there was some activity with M-Class flares earlier today with a CME. NFL Playoff Games Not Sold Out?
NFL fans forgo playoff tickets, prefer the couch. Heck, I'm that way now with most movies.
the struggle to sell tickets is due in part to fans increasingly wanting to avoid traffic, parking prices, ticket costs and lack of cellphone service. The in-home experience, she noted, which can now include multiple-screen football viewing, has become much more desirable. She also said there is typically more "tightened spending so soon after the holidays."
Yes to all of that but the last line is BS. This would've shown up in previous years if that was the case. Obamacare and the Obama economy are the more likely culprits. Or maybe it is global warming or something that Bush did.
Orgasm Class
OMG. There is an online course (6 weeks long) to help women learn how to achieve orgasm taught by someone known as the orgasm whisperer.
Password Generator
Have trouble making up a password. Passweird will generate a gross one for you.

Epic Music
I'm gonna have to give this album a listen to when it comes out (probably won't be for sale just like Ninja Tracks as they only do music for trailers and commercials). It is a group called ReallySlowMotion and the album is called Iron Poetry. The first track, Aeorien, from that album is here.
Felon Political Registration
Well this does not surprise me. 7 in 10 felons register as democrat.
Wanna Get High?
Evidently young dolphins like to get high. By sucking on puffer fish. Just a matter of time before we see LIVs trying this.
Workplace Fails
Syrian Rebel Weaponry
Talk about DIY weaponry. Take a gander at Syrian rebel rocket launchers. Just need a long bow.
My Little Cthulhu
Heh. My little Cthulhu.
Naval Aviation History
Ah yes. 25 years ago, back when we had "peace through strength" instead of "leading from behind", two F-14 Tomcats shot down two Libyan MiG-23's.
Cat Video
Tonight's ONT brought to you by old fashion comics from yesteryear that contain sexual references:

Also, the bit in the sidebar about Russian helicopters rescuing the Iraqi government begs the question, why would the result there be any different than it was for Russian helicopters in Afghanistan?

BC I helped pre-release trials for both pepcid and tagament...
pepcid can be compounded with a mild sedative if your ulcers are subject to increased acid flow from stress....
talk to the doc.
In most folk it is caused by a bacteria and reduced resistance from stress or diet....you can get mechanical ulcers that are caused by nerves or deterioration of the stomach wall.
Get better they're no fun I was lucky enough mine calmed down when I was ~ 28

Keep your eyes open for side-effects from omeprazole (or Nexium). I have had a reaction to both as well as Tagamet (long time ago). Only thing I can tolerate is a non-generic not on any formulary so I get clobbered financially, expecially now during Caliph Barky's new and improved reign.

omeprazole is the racemic mixture, esomeprazole is the S-enantiomer.
having a dose of omeprazole is equal to a half-dose of esomeprazole in terms of amount of the S-enantiomer.

Oil Pipeline from Turkey to Iraq blown up pumping shut down...
speaking of Turkey...nice work Bark...
abandoning Iraq was a genius fucking move Choom king "thanks"...
now one *could* argue that a wise America would have factored in the likelihood of ongoing disruptions in the ME Energy production matrix and *may* have even ramped up the construction/restoration of coastal shale refining capacity and prioritized the Keystone XL pipeline and ramped up exploration and exploitation of US Federal land Shale reserves...
one *could* argue this of course the problem is in the first sentence of the rant...

Experiment with the different 'looks' over a weekend. If ya mess it up, no worries, shave it all off & try again later.
BH suggests trim/shape/shave (do it over a towel for easy cleanup/to keep sink unclogged) *before* showering to wash away the itchy little trimmings. Brush it as it dries to control wayward strands....
Good luck and enjoy the new look!

Going on memory, it has increased in cost by 50% (in 2014) since the last time I paid for it (in 2013).
As far as I can tell, my prescription plan ignored a refill request in 2013 and unexpectedly allowed me to get a refill in 2014.

One guy let a ball dribble between his legs to miss an easy out. The other guy went wide on a 47-yard field goal. Back when a 47-yarder was like a 53-yarder today.
I'm a Buffalo fan still bitter over a lot of things in those Super Bowl losses, but a missed 47-yard kick isn't one of them. Doesn't earn the goat tag.

One is about searching the internet for signals that time travelers are posting. The other is a link to Rolling Stone story that is clearly written by a time traveler from the past. That one poses five economic "reforms" millenials should demand. Those are:
1. Guaranteed Work for Everybody
2. Social Security for All
3. Collectivize the ownership of Land
4. Make Everything Owned by Everybody
5. A Public Bank in Every State

Closely trimmed beards - maybe. (Hard to know without seeing the guy.) Big bushy Robertson family/Boston Red Sox beards? Please no. "Duck Dynasty" is great but I really don't want mountain man beards to make a comeback.
I remember seeing one of the Red Sox being interviewed before the WS. She said, very vehemently, the night the Sox win the Series, that thing is coming off. I couldn't blame her.

I hate winter too - but crap, I'm sitting in my centrally heated living room and when I go out tomorrow I'll have to walk a few steps to get to my car. Think of pioneers living in friggin' cabins in the upper Midwest 100 years ago, gathered around a fireplace, having to go out to feed animals, and saddle up a horse if they wanted to go anywhere. If they could come back from the dead, they'd call us pussies.
A book I'm reading now details all the steps Victorians had to undertake just to do the wash (which was the absolute crappiest job on one of those big estates in England, they would make servants do laundry to punish them.) It wasn't just a matter of heating water, letting laundry soak, scrubbing it against a washboard, rinsing it, and so on - they had to make their own soap, their own starch, their own spot removers, their own dyes. There was no drycleaning so those lace and satin clothes worn by aristocrats had to be picked apart, all the pieces washed separately and then sewn back together. And I bitch because I have to throw laundry in the washer and dryer.

And all that was the reason why the majority of people weren't very . . . fastidious with their bodily hygiene and the clothes didn't get cleaned much more often.
There were certain fashions (some still exist for other reasons) that were derived from the fact of people not bathing and their clothes being very dirty.

What? They have planes piled up out of position from the storm? Didnt southwest cancel a bunch of flights out of midway to reposition the planes?
Posted by: bebe's boobs destroy at January 05, 2014 12:11 AM (ziNtS)
Probably, but that's why I found it bizarre -- we're not talking about a flight from St. Paul to Minot, we're talking about a flight from Atlanta to Greensboro, NC. With all the canceled flights going from, say, Atlanta to New Jersey, couldn't they just "borrow" one of those planes, fly people to Greensboro and just fly back?

Before you start sanding, call Behr tech support. Yes, there is one -- and they really go the extra mile to be helpful (my issue was that we painted the house before we moved in (1997) and I wanted to touch some things up that got banged up during the re-roof/re-gutter process.....and the recipes I'd painstakingly saved used colorants they had to ditch when they reformulated the paints low-VOC).

Hair dryer is good, heat gun also. Be careful if the pipes are pvc or close to pvc.
Examine area for flammables. cover. Have buckets ready. also be ready to shut off main. go slowly don't panic and try to heat too fast too much area. have help in case things get emergency. have fire extinguisher avail.

The company I worked for for 18 yrs closed and had to be liquidated. (no bankruptcy or credit so most everything went to the scrappers.)
There was a 24" Bench lathe (it was very heavy and the motor was 3 phase and I already had a ton of stuff so I passed on it)
There was an Index Vertical Milling machine. (of course it weighed a ton and there was no way for me to move it and I didn't know anyone who could. the market was 0 for resale. So I passed.)
We even had a 5' floor lathe, 18" swing but there was no way that was going anywhere by me.
Like I said. Regrets, I've had a few but then too few to mention.
The Bench Lathe I really regret. I thought I'd be able to get a job where I was moving to and I'd get a new one. HAH! Economy tanked just after move in 2007.

I can understand a certain amount of that -- I've got the HF version of the Sieg X2 mini-mill and it's a bear to wrassle around -- and it's just a toy. But 2/3 of the motor is copper, and the bed and ways are high-quality scrap iron.....and then you can salvage out bearings, cross slides, lead screws, and the like.....and, surely, you could truck around the tooling. When did this happen?

That's what really annoys me about feminists. They make it sound as if there was a concerted effort throughout history on the part of the Evil Ones With Penises to Oppress Women. As a matter of fact, there was a very good reason for the strict separation of male/female roles: women have kids. Both men and women did exhausting physical work and labored from sunup to sunset, but because women had the kids and are generally better at looking after them, it made sense for them to do the household chores and the cooking so they could keep an eye on the small children. Meanwhile, the guys were out there breaking their backs plowing or something - gee, what "male privilege."
Women couldn't become "emancipated" until all these labor-saving applicances like vacuum cleaners and dishwashers and washers and driers were invented. (And Americans led the way in inventing such products.) It wasn't some stupid plot on the part of men.
A book called "The Dirt On Clean" sounds really interesting!

That's probably a trend in the NE.
They've taxed the manufacturing base they had out of state or out of country. I watched quite a few go during the short time I was paying attention.
We only got by because we were a niche item supplier for DoD. If we had had to rely on retail sales, we'd never have existed past the end of the '80's. As it was, the cutbacks in training and certain equipment reduced our range of items we could bid on let alone win the bid. Larger companies started bidding on items they hadn't before because they weren't doing the big ticket items they used to.

Shitload of truth there. I was very rarely sick as a kid once I got to be a few years old. No allergies, hardly got colds, never had measles or chicken pox. Did manage to get scarlet fever though when I was real young, but that was basically it. Even today I can't remember the last time I had anything flu like. I do know I was into everything as a kid, If it could be taken apart I fucked with it. Certain friends with overly strict parents who followed them around with a can of lysol seemed to always get sick. I remember my father calling them glass cage kids, meaning the parents never let them out of their cage. Never let them play by the creek, or the woods, or touch anything, or go out when the temperature dropped below a certain point, etc etc.

I'm a California boy, so I can feel your pain....but here's the dealio -- normally, water supply pipes are run a certain difference belowground because even a hard freeze doesn't penetrate too far into the ground. At certain sustained cold levels, however, the cold will actually penetrate deeper than usual and the water supply will be extremely chilly.
At such times, if a pipe is running up inside an exterior wall, where the inside is 65 degrees and the outside is -5 degrees, it becomes very susceptible to becoming the average of those two temps, which is 30 degrees -- which is enough to freeze.

That was the play for Tea Party v1.0. Didn't work -- got demonized by Moonbat cultists anyway. Tea Party v2.0 tried "make nice with GOP" in response and delivered the 2010 wave as a valentine to go with -- and is, in return, getting a bunch of crap from the GOP "establishment". It may be that they need to take over the Libertarians, since they're essentially pursuing the historic Libertarian goals before that party went batshit ganja-smoking insane in the 80s. A rename isn't the big deal, though -- the problem is the way they've been treated leaves a trail of experience. Ted Cruz is really hitting on it with http://tinyurl.com/pxf85dz

Further, what TP 1.0 really did was kill off the conservative Dems (such as they were or pretended to be). It was completely incapable of reaching into the more liberal districts, and it got swallowed by the Reps before it could establish a track record of being Non-Rep so that it might have made any inroads in the less sane districts --- which is going to take a lot more time.

1. bury them deep enough -- up to 10 feet in Lat's around 61-63.
2. build a circulating system so the water never sits still in the pipes. -- see Fairbanks AK, their whole system circulates, even thru the fire hydrants.
3. average person with limited time frames -- leave one of the taps on a quick drip. moving water doesn't freeze nearly as quickly as still water. careful if you have metered water bills cuz it could get spendy.

The problem was that TP1.0 ran into the buzzsaw of Dem "Party Discipline". The Dems were so into "Party Discipline" that they ruthlessly purged Lieberman, who was their VP Candidate short weeks before. Rightly disgusted by this, the TP tried to find a home in the GOP.....and were accepted until the 2010 wave demonstrated how enervated the "get-along GOP" was compared to the rabble-rousers.
And the thing in politics is -- you don't have "more time". You build an alliance to influence policy today, and live under that policy tomorrow.

It was only recently that I found out the difference between hydrants and faucets. In case you're somewhere warm and want to know the difference (if you're freezing your ass off, you probably already know), they both involve an above-ground water outlet.....but a faucet has water all the way to where you open or close it (usually aboveground), where a hydrant's valve is buried far below its handle, and the riser pipe that gets water to the surface is designed to slowly drain. If built correctly, a hydrant -- like a fire hydrant in NYC, perhaps -- can be used in sub-zero conditions (like by fire trucks), because the subsurface water is warm enough to flow through the riser to the hose connection before freezing.

It's a valid observation, but it misses an important point -- the Progressives could endure a 100-year "long march through the institutions" because the Right kept them safe and prosperous during the 100 years they were trying to muck things up. The Right cannot do a "long march" anywhere because under Progs things go to shit rapidly in a 6-month to 5-year timeline.

A standard external wall is 3-1/2 inches thick, and may be stuffed with insulation. If a 1/2-inch water supply pipe is mounted to a 2x4 along this wall, it could be mounted closer to the siding -- where it is -5 degrees, or mounted closer to the wallboard -- where it is 65 degrees. It may well be a differences of fractions of an inch closer to one side or another.

when you wrote that the sink had hot/cold with no problem, but the tub/toilet had issues that suggests strongly that the pipe carrying mixed water is the culprit. so you need to find the valves. the mixing valves often fail so people put them where they can be replaced.

I actually had one of my credit cards issue a card -- on my account -- for my grandmother, in case she needed to stay at a hotel or book a flight or something....she didn't have one and wasn't going to qualify for one. So, I've had the experience of someone (who ended up dying of Alzheimer's) wandering around with the ability to put me into debt for several thousand dollars. I wouldn't do that for just anybody, and it was kind of scary, and while my maximum loss was maybe $12K, at least I could breathe into a bag and think of ways I could make up a $12K dent in my life.
At 12/31/08, when Obama had been elected and the Pelosi-Obama-Reid binge was just getting started, the national debt per capita was $35,153. A year ago, after four years of the Obamanation, it was $52,152. Where I was fretting about a blood relative (who I loved dearly) possibly running up my debt by $12K (although she never did), a political jackass Chicago politician who could DIAF for all I care absolutely ran up my personal debt by $16,999 over four years -- and, considering that only half the US population pays any Federal tax whatsoever [net] -- more likely over twice that.
I don't see the "long march" strategy being viable here.

and yet I would bet you will admit that the Tparty has been successfully marginalized.
a non-working strategy is like that old bit -- "Q. what do you call a boomerang that won't come back? A. A stick." If something doesn't work one needs to try something else.
If you can think of a lightning quick strategy to reach people that have never even thought of questioning what the media tells them and have voted like insane children for most of their lives, I am certainly willing to entertain your ideas. I see it is as eliminate them or change their minds. The first one will take some time and make me feel like shit. The other will take a long time and I will feel better about myself.
Either way, I will never accept being their slave. I would prefer to make that happen peacefully, but I will employ any means necessary.

I accept your observation that the hypothetical species is so rare that it may not exist in numbers larger than Bigfoot.
However, if you are saying that you go beyond that to you would choose Peter King/McCain/the Maine twins over an actual person who opposes my slavery that happened to be a Dem (should we ever actually find another one) -- I have a problem with that.

Would you really care if a solid constitutionalist with a determination to be fiscally responsible were a Dem? If your choice was to vote for such a hypothetical Dem rather than a RINO, would you choose the RINO?
Posted by: jc
Yes, because the modern Democrat party isn't based on constitutional principles. It's based on an indiscriminateness in which our Western heritage, negative rights, and limited government are reflexively pissed and shat on.
There will be sooner be a redneck president of China than a confirmed case of a Constitutionalist Democrat.

Y'know, I could absolutely vote for the sort of politician who would say, "The fact that we are here today to debate raising AmericaÂ’s debt limit
is a sign of leadership failure. It is a Sign that the US Government
cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing
financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our GovernmentÂ’s
reckless fiscal policies." -- provided that the words were heartfelt and not merely read from a teleprompter. But the guy that uttered those words went on to charge half-again as much on my taxpayer credit card as had previously been run up by every asshole President back to the creation of the Republic, combined.

What I'm saying is "don't say 'let's try this, it's never been tried' when it has been tried and people got badly burned. Trying to appeal to Democrats' common-sense to transcend party got all the common-sense Democrats purged from the party and the Tea Party demonized. Don't say, "ok, we'll ally with the opposition to those raving moonbats and start to gain some traction" when the opposition starts carving your backside as soon as you "ally" with it and the media portrays this is a "Conservative Civil War" between paint-lickers. The public is mad as hornets and could easily go for a "two terms, than the gallows" term-limit proprosal, but trying to repeat the mistakes already made ain't gonna go nowhere.

I don't know anybody that ever earned a living that didn't trade their time to get it. Money is just a time coupon. People trade their time to get it, and when they spend it they are buying other people's time.
When one confiscates the time of another, that is slavery. Now, it can be done in the honest way -- like pre-1860 where the slaver flat out states their claim to ownership and steals the hours of your life thru brutality or other means ---
Or it can be done in the dishonest way where the slaver claims they are "entitled" to what you earned with the time of your life, and takes your time from you indirectly by taking the money you traded the hours of your life to get ---
Or it can be done in the astoundingly dishonest way where congress runs up a debt so large that it cannot be repaid. That will have only a few probable outcomes --
A. I believe the most likely is the complete destruction of the value of the currency so that everyone who has traded the hours of their life for currency will have those hours effectively stolen from them thru destroying the storehouse of those working hours.
B. The power to tax gives congress the ability (although I think much less likely that scenario A) to simply confiscate wealth to pay the debt. Once again, the hours of someone's life traded to earn wealth are stolen.
Any way it is sliced, our lives are comprised of time. Slavery is stealing of people's time. The method used to complete the theft is just semantics to me.

You can get a Republican elected there (Brown, Romney), but they're likely to end up as mostly RINO. If you have a candidate who actually believes in fiscal responsibility and prudent management, they'll only get crucified by both sides.

Annoying and inconvenient as is, it's probably a good thing for my health. While normally reviled and mocked, there are a number of reasons to believe that bloodletting and leaching actually were helpful -- as always, in moderation. If I weren't so phobic, it looks like being a regular blood-donor might almost be more beneficial toward the average donor than the average recipient.

so in today's paper, there's an article about our state Donks wanting to raise the minimum wage.
the Donk quoted in the article claims that it's because people draw so much in unemployment checks, that if you raise the minimum wage, that it will incentivize people to go get a job!
because, as we all know, most people would MUCH rather work a minimum wage job than collect unemployment checks (ha)
and, of course, as we all know, if it's more expensive to hire someone, then that will totally mean that there will be tons of new minimum wage jobs made available to hire all of the couch potatoes (ha)

Our fish need a reboot -- we had varied and complex collections up to 2004, when we remodeled the kitchen, and contributed zillions of fry over the years to our local fish club [we were largely responsible for the "rabbits of Lake Tanganyika" designation of Neolamprologus brichardi] .....but since then, we've been mostly neglecting the hard-liners in the tanks and they've responded by barely hanging-on.
It'd be cool to restart fishkeeping in a place I could lay down some infrastructure.

I was more worried about keeping them unaerated -- every time I got a standing wave in the damned cooler, a cup of water would end up on my back deck. Couldn't accelerate too fast; couldn't brake too fast; couldn't go slow/fast if it was within the resonance of the water in the cooler. I'd bag 'em if I had to do it over again.

You'll find these in ranches and farms or other outfit that needs water to be accessible year round.
And it's the transportation costs that kill trying to sell used machinery.
It has to be disconnected, gotten out of the building and onto a truck and then driven to it's new location and reinstalled.
Lot of money for 40-60 year old equipment that is little used today.
Cheaper to buy new and more adaptable.
