bipolar should be ok as long as she takes her meds.
I had a co-worker one time that was bi-polar and she was fine for the most part as long as she was on her meds.

I just watched the mask of zorro recently and she was in that movie. I love to hear her talk.

I worked with a guy who was nuts,they took his badge and escorted him from the plant but he snuck back in and started saying how he was going to kill people.

He was surrounded by security gaurds who escorted him out again.

Later where he lived by Marina Del Rey he took out a .30-06 hunting rifle and started shooting it off in the streets.

The L.A. cops shot him dead. He made the 6:00 o clock news.

 Most disturbing was a 9 year old girl and 87 year old man.

 Both gave birth to 7 lb. babies.

 Today both of them work at slingin burgers at McDonalds.

 It's like a total loop...burn...capture...burn...capture...etc.

 A hybrid electric-fuel 4X4 truck ran on solar/algae(oil) fuel means theres no end to travel.

 You could putt as far as the algae(oil) stations are...and then keep going from sunlight.

 This solar panel stuff is getting so thin you are getting to the point where you could wrap it on somthing the way you do cellophane.

JBN, Any luck finding any morels?

I have found 8 small greys growing right in my back yard.  I have looked around in the woods with no luck.

I am guessing with all the rain and it finally warming up today and tomorrow will be good days to find them.

In fact the little patch I have been finding them in my back yard I have scowered probably 10 times the last few days and I seem to find one or two each time.  I don't know if they are popping in between checks or if I keep missing them.  The first day I found a few dried out so they must have popped early.  I am putting them in non-chlorinated water with salt and sugar and then I will pour it in the woods behind my house by a dead oak tree hoping they take off there in a few years.  I guess some people have had success spreading the spores that way but it is pretty hit or miss.

Anyone ever eat gooseberrys?  While looking for morels in the woods behind my house I found quite a few wild gooseberry bushes.  They are flowering right now so they will probably have berrys eventually.

So one of those mornings.  I love when lightning cracks without any warning, and then the rain comes.  That was the start of my morning around 4am.  I said to my wife, are the windows closed?  She answered yes.  Then it occurred to me a sec later, "Not on the Jeep!"  Running out to the garage, grab the windows, and then up the driveway.  The passenger side took a little time with no light while the rain poured down, nice...  The driver side was better lit from the street light and went in pretty quick.  So now I am soaking wet at 4am, on a day off. 

But it is a day off...

Records: Ditka son's DUI charge upgraded to felony

A drunk-driving charge against Michael P. Ditka, the son of former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka, has been upgraded to a felony because of two previous charges of drunken driving against him in Lake County, court and police documents show.

Court documents from Cook County also show that the younger Ditka had another prior DUI arrest in Cook County – bringing his total to at least four.

So an old buddy of mine ran into my wife at our daughters award ceremony and gave her his number to give to me.  The guy used to be a singer and guitar player in my first band.  He lived across the street when we were growing up.

He lived with me and my mom for a bit when his family moved away.  Anyway we lost touch and last time I saw him was probably 15 years ago and quite a few before that.  Last I heard he was in jail for selling ****. 

So I am dreading calling him imagining he is going to want  to borrow money or invest money in his drug business.  Both of which I would have said no.  The other option was he may have cleaned up and just wanted to hang or try another band.

Well my wife gets a friend request from him on face book.  Turns out he is married now and is a born again christian.  I am very happy he has turned his life around but am now dreading the call even more.  Seems his whole family is born again, his mother, his wife, his sister and he went through some school and is now a minister.

Now if I call him I have to get preached at.  From the guy who borrowed my one hitter and threw it out the window when a cop got behind him.  (the paranoia).  The same guy who asked and I gave the money to to buy a bag of weed so he could sell it as joints and we split the money. All of this when we were teenagers and early 20's.

I am dreading this call the dude is a minister now and we all know the guys who sinned the worst seem to go hard core when they fine the lord.  Look at Sporty!  :)

Anyway I will have to make the call here in the next day or so.  Wish me luck.  Hopefully it will be cool.

Call him Peke, I'm sure he just wants to catch up. Just because he is a Christian doesn't mean he is a brow beating Bible thumping kind. Sure he cares about where you're going when you die but he has to be your friend in order to do that.
I mean if worse comes to worse you can always hang up. Besides, if he brings up the subject just hear him out. If you decide it is for you then great, if you don't then tell him you aren't interested. He will have performed his duty and you'll have made your choice.

I'm one of those Christians and I have friends and family that aren't and while I sometimes talk to them about church and related things the last thing I want to do is drive them away from me or alienate them. He likely knows he'll have a better chance of "reaching" you if he just takes his time and waits for the right time, shoot you might even find sometime you want to talk to him about it and see if there is any difference in his life. Sounds like from what he used to be it might have done him some good :-)

Post by: Pekin on May 13, 2011, 09:15:27 pm
Nah I will call.  That may be the end of it though depending on how it goes down. 

He was a total geek.  He smarted off to me when he first moved in and I kicked his ass.  I remember when it was over he was on the ground crying and his step dad yelled at him to quit crying and get in the house.  I felt sorry for him.  After that I helped him out and stuck up for him.  I told him to ditch the glasses and get contacts and to get rid of the bowl cut and grow his hair long. 

After that he started getting chicks and got a little full of himself.  He got into drugs (his older brother and sister already where into them and his step dad wasn't interested in him) I never really did.  Smoked a few joints here and there.  A guy I worked with at ace hardware showed me how to make a sneak a toke from the parts there.  Lent it to him and got the "throw out the window" story.  Guessing it was not lost and he just wanted to keep it.

Anyway he did drive me back and forth to work for awhile (in my car, my gas) while he was living with me when I couldn't drive after I had a siezure and he was not a bad guy.  Just got lost along the way.  Glad he found his way just hoping I am talking to a an old friend that is not a dickhead bible thumper when I call.

He was a good friend for a few years before the drugs and ego took over.

Funny thing I always took pleasure in was after highschool he was banging this snooty rich girl that was all the **** in highschool.   She had this sweet Camaro and she would not let anyone smoke in it (I get it now but not then).  He wrapped it around a tree while he was all **** up but told her and her parents that a deer ran out in front of him...

Seems like paranoia is something you have in common.

Keys, Have you ever met someone that made a drastic shift like this in their life?   Especially at first they can be WAY over the top.  They usually go overboard with the religious thing and it is all consuming to them and they want everyone else to be consumed by it also.  One look at his facebook page tells me that is where he is at right now.  Every single picture on his facebook page is of religious symbols except one picture of him and his wife getting married and of course it has religious symbols behind them.  Eventually people tend to find a balance but I doubt he is there yet.


I am happy it looks like he has turned his life around.  He was definately headed in the wrong direction.

Keys you also have to understand while I believe in god and pray I do not care for organized religion at all.  I do not feel the need to be "saved" or help in finding my relationship with God.  I already have my personal relationship with God and do not need others to tell me my way is right or wrong.  I figure God is the best judge not other people.  Some religious people especially fanatics tend to push their view points on others. 

Of course then there is my beer drinking, deer hunting (he has deer antlers mounted on his lawn tractor) Jehovah's Witness neighbor that never says a word about religion to me.  Well except for the one time he was admiring the giant pumpkin I had grown and asked me what I was going to do with it.  I told him celebrate Halloween, you know Satan's holiday that you guys frown upon.   He just said, "Yeah, we don't care for that" and we moved on.

Oh and the time he was doing some group discussions at church and they were talking about sex and some mentally challenged teenage boy told him that some other boy played with his weenie.  The kid was quite proud of it and obviously had no clue.   He was running the class and was dumbfounded as to what to say.  I guess he talked to the kids parents after the class and told them so they could look into it.  But man not something I would have wanted to deal with.

I just don't think you should assume that he's going to preach to you. He just may, but you sounded a bit like Cletus for awhile there by assuming that he was immediately going to try to "save you". I'm sure you run into deeply religious people everyday and just don't know it because they don't preach.

As for your neighbor and the pumpkin...sounds like you were the one doing the tweaking with the Satans holiday thing.

You seem to me like the one who was being a bit defensive Keys.  I don't have a problem with anyones religion as long as they don't go over the top preaching to me.

Oh and I was the one giving my neighbor crap just like the time his lawn tractor (with the deer antlers) ran out of gas in front of my house (he was giving his kids a ride in the cart behind it) and he pushed it onto my lawn while he walked home to get more gas.  When he came back he told me his tractor was increasing the value of my home...

I was just joking with him the way guys do.  He didn't take any offense and none was meant.  He had no problem drinking another one of my beers either afterwards.

I'm with you in that I don't like peoples religion thrown at me either. I was just pointing out that it may have been a bit paranoid on your part to assume that he would do that to the point of having trepidation about calling him. Not a big deal...just sayin.

 I put a blue M&M that dropped on the floor along with a piece of potato chip next to it on my glass topped coffee table that I was going to throw out on the patio the next day for the birds.

 However those little brown ants found the M&M first...

 from what I could see they licked all the coating off of the M&M leaving the chocolate...

 no biggie...but then...I started to notice this pile of debris surrounding the M&M...

 those little critters are building up a dirt pile around the M&M and its still going on!

 My guess is they are going to bury it (making a little mountain) to store it for the future.

 The cool part is they are taking the potato chip apart to build the mountain.

 I could brush it off in a second.  I dont have the heart to stop it.

 Man I'd feel downright guilty after all the work they are doing.

 I wish I could webcam this to a blog...but I dont have the setup.

 Fuuckin hard workin little critters man.  :D  ;D  :)

So I called my old friend.  He was in the middle of a benefit so we didn't talk long.  He is going to call me back tomorrow afternoon. 

He complimented me on how pretty my girls are and how the one (my oldest) was getting all kinds of awards.  Talked about how he was glad I called and wanted to catch up.  But he also went into what sounded like a salespitch to me about his internet mission where he has 1600 members and how he is a minister and how he works with inner city youth.  He was always a bit of a snake oil salesmen.

I am guessing tomorrow the call will be him wanting me to donate money to his "church".  He used to sell drugs and now it looks like he is selling "god".

Keys, I am not paranoid just very cynical.   This guy was always working an angle and I suspect he still is.

Two Wolves


One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grand son thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed

Anybody have any experience with a Mitsubishi DLP TV?  My current TV is getting ready to cash it in and Amazon has a 60" 1080p, 120hz 3D ready on sale for $729. Much cheaper than a LCD of that size. My son has a 55" Toshiba DLP that has an excellent picture. I know the bulb needs to be replaced after about 2 years but this sounds like a good deal. Thoughts?

Keys - I just purchased that exact TV last year prior to the season.  It doesn't have the same clarity that an LCD tv has, but I think for the price it rocks.  If you want the size without the budget, go for it.  I do love the tv and wouldn't have been able to afford as large of one otherwise.

There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.

"Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.

"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can`t stand to see a man crying."

"This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm  a complete failure.  I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I  went to the parking  lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have  any insurance.  I left my wallet in the cab I took home.  I found my  wife with another man and then my dog bit  me."

"So I came to this bar to work up the  courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit  here watching the poison dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing!   But enough about me, how's your day going?"

Getting serious:

Getty ImagesThe rivalry between the Bears and Packers reached a new level earlier this year, when the two teams met for only the second time ever in the postseason, for a berth in Super Bowl XLV.  In one very specific respect, however, the ice between the teams’ fans has thawed considerably.

Larry Mayer of ChicagoBears.com writes that Peter Cashman, a Bears fan, desperately needed a new liver last year.  He received it after Amy Larson, a Packers fan, died suddenly at age 32.

“I know Bears fans that would probably say they’d give their organs to anybody but a Packers fan and I know Packers fans that would probably say the same thing about Bears fans,” Cashman said.  “But it doesn’t matter who donates to save your life.  That’s the big story here.  It’s a sad thing that they have to lose their life in order for someone else to live.  But whoever is a donor is a donor.”

Cashman didn’t realize that Amy Larson was a Packers fan until Cashman spoke earlier this year with Larson’s mother by phone.  “I told her that I was a Bears season-ticket holder and that I went to the NFC Championship Game against the Packers,” Cashman said.  “She laughed and said, ‘At least a part of you went home happy.’”

Cashman was close to death when the liver became available.  In fact, he was so sick that doctors considered giving the liver to someone else.

“The rivalry is nothing compared to what happens in life every day.  To get a gift from somebody in Green Bay land, it doesn’t matter [that they were a Packers fan].  I thank Amy Larson’s family for the gift of life.  It’s been a blessing.”

That said, we’ve got a feeling in light of this story that Bears fans, Packers fans, and fans of the other 30 teams will at least consider adding an asterisk or two to their donor cards.

 A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed.

She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in
front of him.

He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.

She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps into the room,

'Why are you down here at this time of night?

The husband looks up from his coffee, 'It's the 20th Anniversary of the
day we met'.

She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.

The husband continues, 'Do you remember 20 years ago when we started
dating? I was 18 and you were only 16,' he says solemnly.

Once again, the wife is touched to tears.

'Yes, I do' she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.

'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?'

'Yes, I remember' said the wife, lowering herself into the chair beside him.

The husband continued. 'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or I will send you to
prison for 20 years?'

'I remember that, too' she replied softly.

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said 'I would have gotten out today

Berkley spent $200,000 finding that it provided increased stimulation which helps women achieve orgasm.

Alabama spent $300 and reported that the head of the peniis is designed that way to keep your hand from sliding off the end.

 A man is sitting at a bar getting hammered because he lost his job,

 and the bartender finally cuts him off.

Piissed, the man staggers out of the bar.

As he walks outside the front door,

a nun happens to be walking past.......

the drunk man immediately attacks her,

punches her until she falls.

He kicks her a few times -

then reaches down,

pulls her up to his face and yells

"You're not so tough now, are ya, Batman?!"

 A guy walks into a bar and sees a sign that says



 "Take the $500 Challenge"



He asks the bartender about it and is told that it is a gimmick that the boss is using to drum up business.



The guy asks the bartender what you have to do.



The bartender says that there are three parts to the challenge.



First, you have to chug an entire bottle of vodka.



Next, you have to go out back and pull a sore tooth out of the mouth of the boss's pet alligator.



Then, you have to go to the house of an old lady who is the boss's friend.



She's a virgin and you have to make her not a virgin anymore.



Do all three of these and you get the $500.



The guy accepts and the bartender opens the vodka bottle and sets it on the bar.



The guy downs it.  He is shown the back door to where the alligator is and he staggers out.



The bartender then hears ten minutes of screaming, growling, ripping, banging, and every other sound of violence that you can imagine.



Finally, the guy stumbles back into the bar.



His clothes are torn, he's bloody and covered with puke.



He staggers up to the bartender and says,



"OK, where's the lady that needs her tooth pulled?"

We've been about that many times as well.  It's just about the right amount of time in the car from O-town in FL.  Not a lot to do but relax, fish, hike, tubing, etc., but that's why we go.  They even have an old-fashioned drive-in theatre in town.  Don't want to deal with all the tourist-y stuff like we see in the City Beautiful.  There is a big art festival in Blue Ridge this weekend, we might check that out.  Never went as far as Gatlinburg but I hear it's nice too.

check the subject line

This weather has been insane this spring, so many tornados and deaths resulting has me a lot more on edge nowadays than I ever expected in Tennessee.  I thought getting out of Florida would bury the whole violent storm thing that hangs over your head for 6 months, not so much. 

Last year I lived in the Chattanooga area, and did not see this type of weather other than the heat, the incredible heat.  Fortunately, it breaks unlike Florida that goes into November.  This year Chattanooga has a pretty severe tornado rip through it.

So last night a little after midnight (or this morning I guess) I am awoken to wind, that turns into howling wind.  I get the tv on and sure enough the weather is on with storm warnings, watching the radar ete.  I am contemplating getting the family downstairs and into the bathrooms and closets.  This storm came through with 70 mph winds.  Wife slept right through it all and the tv on.  This lasted about 15 minutes and was done.  I think for all of those folks that have been through a tornado, which this was not, you don't have a lot of time to react and if it comes through in the middle of the night you could be toast.

Alright, here is a 2 day run for you...

Call yesterday from my oldest son, gets a $265 speeding ticket going to work.  He's loaded, not...  Then today, I go to work, forget my phone in the Jeep and when I return notice it is dripping coolant out of the front and rear areas of the engine.  Take it to the shop and call my other son to pick me up when he gets off of work.

He does and I notice his car is really jerking when you drive it.  Check the trans fluid and I think it is a little low.  He drives it to the mechanic and they say the level is fine.  He drives it back home and it is worse.  Take it back to them and it is now getting towed to the transmission shop.  Get a call from work (I left early to take care of the jeep), and they say that two people up and quit for the 2nd shft tonight.  No notice, just quit.

The silver lining?  Still looking for it.  At least the jeep only turned out to be a water pump...  Starting over tomorrow...

Grizz, if you need any help with the Jeep go to jeepforum.com. They know more about jeeps there than Belicheck knows about footbal well almost anyway.

If you haven't done it in awhile go ahead and change your hoses and Tstat. If the jeep has any age/mileage on it you might want to go ahead and change the fan clutch too.

I haven't seen a shuttle launch since I was a kid because I never know until after they are done.

It may be a good time to take a rest now, though.  Until we have a technological break through in understanding of gravity and how to control it and the effects of mass transference we are pretty much stuck within our solar system.

This really belongs on the politics thread but Freddie and Fannie are what caused the housing crisis.  The government forcing banks to give bad loans for homes to people who could not afford them.  Bad banking practices.  We now have more housing on the market then there are people that can afford them.  It will turn around eventually but it is going tot ake awhile and government needs to stay the hell out of it or they will make it worse.  After all our government caused it in the first place.

In Germany they keep a very close eye on their economy so that they never go down that path again.  If the EU keeps going down the path they are on I could see Germany pulling out.  They will not be up for bailing more countries out like Greece unless there is real reform.

Sporty cheap labor in foreign countries is going to be a probelm for a very long time.  If the Chinese rebel and demand more money then the jobs go to India, if they get more money then Pakistan and on and on and on.

With a true world economy the only way to stay ahead of the curve is with technology and being innovative.  Sadly it is becoming harder to stay ahead of that  techological point where we can make products with expensive labor cheap enough to compete.  It sucks but it is what it is.

Is it really the best thing to tax a company for sending jobs overseas?  Japan sends good paying jobs here by building their autos here.   Before they did very few Americans would buy them.  If our companies can't do the same thing they lose business.  If we tax them too much they simply move overseas completely.  Then instead of losing 5,000 jobs in a company that employees 10,000 we lose all 10,000.  Or they go out of business and we lose them anyway.

Or worse the government gives them a bail out on the tax payers dime and no lessons are learned and they are propped up to go belly up or ask for another hand out again in ten or twenty years...

What's needed is companies that will stay and hire in the US. THAT is what is needed. And yea, tax the (&$)% out of those )(&^$(*&^% companies that are sending jobs overseas,you bet yer backside!!! Half of em probably aren't paying taxes here anyway so what good are they but leaches on our tax system! In 09', Exxon paid no income taxes in the US and recieved a $156million credit!!! They paid billions outside to other countries tax codes. Why not here? Same with GE. It's BS! And it has to stop!!! Fk these companies that are stealing our money in tax breaks and sending jobs overseas!!!

JJ - There was no audible warning sign on the water pump going bad.  I think I was lucky to see it dripping before it went all out leaving me stranded though.  The only thing I did notice was that I was adding about 1/4 gallon of coolant/month with no signs of any drip or wetness on the engine.  I hope the water pump was the culprit.

What can we learn from them Duck?

 They export things. They didnt export their jobs overseas.

 What is their unemployment rate?

 We didnt let our Nation fall into this shape... we are just along for the ride.

 Sombody somwhere took the value of our homes away...we dont even know who.

 This is AMERICA?  We are being ****...and we dont even know why.

 535 people in Congress put us here....selling out the other 306 million.

 We cant be angry....because we elected them...to sell us out.

If you think about it, most all of our problems were caused by long term old farts who have been around DC for their whole careers.  Get rid of those old guys through term limits laws and we will have a fighting chance at realistic laws.

WM, haven't reupped on EQII yet. Still trying to figure out this 'EQII Extended' deal. Looks like they've got a free server deal setup and then a sub server setup. I don't know which server I, we, were on or remember much of it other than I 'think' I played a Ranger,lol. Haven't had time this week yet to look into it. Too busy, but I'd like to try sometime this weekend. Am heading up to Mich Sat night to see 'Whose LIVE!', most of the cast from 'Whose Line is it,anyway?' that used to be on. Should be hilarious!

I got logged in.  You can log into your old account and you get 45 days free I believe.  It is because of the Sony network shutdown.  It even affected all the SOE servers.  They were shutdown with the playstation networks.

I installed and downloaded everything.  Had trouble loggin in the first time because you have to use their new launcher and not the one on the install disk.  If you have that problem let me know and I can tell you how to fix it.  I was ingame and playing so the 45 days free works.  Hell I could install the original EQ and get 45 days free from that too I believe.  You were on the Guk Server.  Once you log into your old account you will see your characters.  I saw you on my friends list.  Let me know when you get up and running.

 Yeah G34,most of that coolent added with that small amount would have evaporated just by driving if its a small leak. Too bad you didnt have any sound effects warning tho.

 Usually water pumps start to squeul. Pray that it was only a water pump.  :D

 I dont think its so much as old farts but politicians no matter what age who are in the pocket

 of those who lobby them.

 Sen. Donald Byrd sold the whole state of West Virginia to coal companys...today that state is being stripped mined flat.

 No West Virginia senator since then has said lets be sensible about leveling West Virginia.

 
I agree with you guys. We sent all our jobs overseas..

 Actually Chifan we didnt send our jobs overseas...not you and me.

It is VERY strange playing this again. Very small parts are coming back to me. Would love to get my old character(s) back though. I can't even remember how many or what level they were or if I only had one,lol. I know I had a Ranger and that's about it. Think he was Level 30 or something ....

I don't think I shared this.  The accord is still in the shop, expect to have it back on Tuesday.  Last Tuesday is when the Wranger and Accord went down together, but at least the Wrangler was back on the road Tuesday night. 

We have 4 cars, and 4 adults with jobs working - that's a good thing.  Being down to 3 cars makes for a juggling act, but we can manage.  So on Thursday, my son is driving our Altima on I-24.  He calls me to say that when he gets up to about 75 mph, the car starts losing power, he can press the accelerator all the way down and nothing.  I tell him to pull over and turn the car off, maybe something with the computer.  He does and everything is fine.  For 3 minutes.  Another phone call, the car is doing the same thing.  He manages to limp it up the interstate 10 miles to get off at the exit to pick up his girlfriend.  I meet him and drive him to my wife's work and get her Escape.  He goes and picks up the girfriend, I take the Altima to the shop.  On my drive over I notice the temp gauge is a notch below Hot, but it is only 1/2 mile there so I make it fine. 

Find out with the Altima, the radiator needed to be replaced.  The idiot sensors actually did their job, detected the engine was getting too warm and over road my son's desire to get to his girl friend post haste.

It's been an expensive week...

Oh and my Daughters Graduation Party was a smash hit yesterday.  Burgers, Dogs and Brats on the grill.  We kept the menu simple as could be.  LOTS ob Beer and Burbon was drank last night.  Lasted from about 4 PM to 4 AM!  Now the major clean up to do today and of course she is off to Beach Week with her friends this morning already.

One down one to go.  The 10 year old is going to 6th grade next year.  So I figure I have 3 more Graduation parties to throw.  :)

congrats to all grads. Education always pays off , one way or another. Always. The Nashville tn area as Griz will attest too, is a drive around area. Nobody walks from Smyrna to Nashville. You HAVE to have good transpo. The 46 is pushing the limits of exhaustion and teetotaling. Moving and booze don't mix. Down in Spring Hill now, got a good deal. Will post somethng when some feeling other than pain enters my lower extremities.  Still moving and cleaning btw. Also, before I forget, if you need help moving, get 2 men and a truck. Simply unbelieveable.  Right up to the end the kids in 95 degree heat were running back to the truck to unload. Fantastic value for the money.
One of the 46's better choices. God knows I've made enough bad ones.

WM,I'll get the guild info for ya. I may stick it out for awhile on the free extended server. That way I can get a fresh taste for the game again and see if I want to stick with it. After mentioning I was a long time former WoW'er in chat, I instantly had guild recruitings hitting me,lol. Free is nice especially with the economy heading south again and summer here. The economy will never recover again until something is done about the ridiculous price of gas. Still over $4/gal here. People just can't afford to spend elsewhere when gas is absurd. Was telling the wife last night that in four/five years,the price of gas will be so high few will be driving much and electric vehicles will be a must have item. So I hope the manufacturers will push more out quickly,get the tech part down as well as the prices. I see speculators pushing the price to over $6/gal by 2016. Greed is just too overpowering. Sadly and more frighteningly,I see food going up as well.

I will agree, two men and a truck are great, and great value.  When we moved from Florida last June, I had them load the heavy items on the truck - one story and flat, and then the family and I loaded the rest.  When we got to the Chattanooga area, we had a driveway that went up about 40 degrees, and they unloaded everything, in 95 degree heat.  And the house was 3 stories, the Tennessee guys definitely got the shaft on that one.

Moving from Chattanooga to Smyrna, my company moved me.  Now that is the way to go!

I was moved twice by my Company...that really is THE way to go.  Furniture and appliances are bagged and tagged.  Everything you own is wrapped in paper or bubble wrap, placed in a labeled box that is sealed and sorted by room and cabinet.  When you get to the new house, they put each box in the room it was labeled for.  You unseal it and just put everything in the correct place in that room.  It's almost effortless.

 I dont know if Ford did it...but GM did...on the top of the gas tank was everything you ever wanted to know about that vehicle.

 The build date the trim options and which dealership it was going to be sent to.

Bob Elliott (born 1923) and Ray Goulding (1922–1990) were an American comedy team whose career spanned five decades. Their format was typically to satirize the medium in which they were performing, such as conducting radio or television interviews, with off-the-wall dialogue presented in a generally deadpan style as though it were a serious interview.

I stumbled across this great website while looking for an italian beef recipe.  This guys seems to really know his **** when it comes to grilling meat.  Plus he is from Chicago.

I have wasted way to much time today looking around the website.  I am especially interested in trying his method on cooking steaks.  I have always seared them quickly on high heat then moved them to a cooler spot to cook the rest of the way.  He says we should be doing the opposite (on thicker cuts anyway)and it makes the steak way more tender. 

Anyway I thought I would share it with you guys I am off to check out his recipe section now.

Yea,WM,got a ranger I'm building on the free server. He's like L7 right now. Not sure why I keep getting hung up with arrow shooters. Need to expand my horizons but the prob is I don't know what half the characters do. Berzerker? Shadowknight?

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno

Congressman Weiner has admitted that he did carry on explicit online relationships with six different women. Well, he thought they were women. Turns out three were woman, one was a guy pretending to be a woman, and the other two were congressmen.

President Obama's top economic adviser, a man named Austan Goolsbee, is stepping down: He will be replaced by something a little more effective, the Magic 8-Ball.

President Obama said today he's not concerned about a double-dip recession. He's more concerned the recovery we're in is not creating enough jobs. In fact, do you know what you call a recovery that isn't creating enough jobs? A recession.

The beautiful star of the TV show “Mad Men,” January Jones, is pregnant, but she will not reveal who the father is. To which John Edwards said, "Why can't I meet women like this?”

Studying the 2011 NFL schedule I would guess that I will be able to watch all but about 3 season games on local TV.  Consequently, I called DirecTV to cancel my Sunday Ticket subscription. 

After explaining the reason the agent told me to call DirecTV before any game that is not covered locally and I can buy it for $50 as PPV.  That's not cheap but  a lot  better than buying a whole season.

If this is true it is a change that I have waited for a long time.

I like old and new music.  Obviously not ALL old and new music but I find music I like all the time. 

I used to HATE country but some of it is growing on me.  I can appreciate good music in pretty much any genre except rap.  I have never heard a rap song I liked except some of the rock/rap hybrids like Kid Rock.  Limp Bizkit had a few decent songs back in the day.

I like the musicians I listen to to have some talent and rap is pretty much devoid of it.  If a rapper can sing but throw in some rap I will listen (like Kid Rock) but to just listen to some Dbag talk or shout to music is stupid imo.

to me rap is for those folks that can't sing. I'm not saying they aren't talented but you don't have to be able to sing to rap.
I'm stodgier than Packrat, I like Christian,Gospel, Country. I can listen to some of the Pop stuff if it has a good message.

The heavier stuff to me is just noise, can't stand it. I can recognize the skill/talent/effort (my son plays in a Reggae/Rock band), I can see where the violence comes from, it makes me angry just to hear it. It is like tribal war music or something.

some of the Reggae I can listen to if I must, the music is calming but if you really listen to it  a lot of the lyrics they are singing about stuff I'm not into.

The "music I grew up with"  might be a little misleading.  I grew up listening to polkas, waltzes and other "old time" music.  Like Navigator I love gospel music and country music; add to that Blue Grass all the way back to Hank Williams and Hank Snow.  Used to hear the Gtand Ole Opry and WGN's Barn Dance on the radio.     

To me, Rock and especially Rap are just noise - usually overly loud noise.

 Guess what dude? I owned a 1940 Nash business coupe...for all of a few months.

 It was given to me in a garage..I had to pay the rent on the garage and couldnt.

 So it went to who knows where...one thing I remember about it is the engine bay could take in a big block Chevy with no sweat.

 Maybe it was your Nash. STRAIGHT...with no RUST.

 In Chicago...at the time...in the seventies...thats a miracle...teenage owner of history with no money.  :D

 At times this board jumps around so wildly that posting a Picture of a 1940 Nash cannot be done.

Well, the Nash was a 1940 that I bought in 1952 so it had seen its best days.  Once in awhile it would start shimmying and I had to stop and start all over.  It got 30 miles per quart of 50 W oil.  I lived in Akron at that time.  I went to the Sears Roebuck store once and got stuck in the parking lot.  There was a slight grade and the old Nash didn't have enough compression to climb it.  Very embarrassing as there were cars behind me and I had to turn around and go back down.  There was another exit with less of a grade and I managed to get back home.
 
Traded it  for a 1946 Plymouth sedan. 

Hank Williams - a little bit of heaven.  Thanks.

A woman in a supermarket is following a Grandfather and his badly behaved 3 year-old Grandson. It's very obvious to her that he has his hands full with the child screaming for candy in the candy aisle, or for cookies in the cookie aisle. Meanwhile, Granddad is working his way around, saying in a controlled voice, "Easy, William, we won't be long, easy, Boy."


Another outburst, and she hears the Granddad calmly say, "It's okay, William, just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of here. Hang in there, Boy."


At the checkout, the little terror is throwing items out of the cart, and Granddad says again in a quiet, controlled voice, "William, William, relax Buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes; stay cool, William."


Very impressed, the woman goes outside where the Grandfather is loading his groceries and the boy into the car. She said to the elderly Gentleman, "It's none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it. That whole time, you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and how disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying things would be okay.  William is very lucky to have you as his Grandpa."


"Thanks," said the grandfather, "but I'm William ..... the little ****'s name is Kevin."

What they did was let me build a couple characters of different races and abilities that I didn't know were not part of the "free" experience. So I had one up to near L22 and bam....can't play him now. NIIIIICE! Think I'll just drop this thing. I don't need another monthly payment plan. Just want to play some. They reeeeeally limit the free account, I mean ridiculously limited.

Every pay to pay game is shaking in their boots about Diablo 3.  They know it is going to end their subscriptions for at least a year.  I suspect even Blizzard is holding it back for a bit to soak WoW subscribers as long as they can before it comes out.  Free to play is the future though.  They are going to have to start offering some amazing game play for pay to play subscriptions in the future.

EQ2 was getting to be fun again then they pull this stunt and I can't log in to my characters. They gave me what, a week or two?? Would have been nice to have some warning. I deleted one of my characters and it figures it was the one I was enjoying the most. So I'm starting all over again. Gotta spend some $$ to unlock certain classes I might want to play. They have less than half allowed on the free side so if I want one of the 'not free' ones I gotta pay up. They allow two bag slots on free...two! That's absurd. They limit how you can chat and you gotta pay to sell on the broker or you can only buy which is freaking ridiculous. I'm gonna figure out how to play it for the least amount of cash outlay, one way or the other. It may cost some up front cash,but I won't have a monthly fee that way at least. To sell I'll probably have to advertise in game instead of putting something up.

The Kingdoms game does look cool but it sounds like it is like Elder scrolls.  It is a one person game.

By the way Skyrim will be out in November.  It will be a great game and their is dragon age and dragon age 2 out now.  However they are not multi player games.

I need a new multi player game.  I just wish Diablo 3 was out I am geting bored.

Kingdoms looks VERY cool and I'll probably buy it. They are going to make it or something similar to it into a MMO. They should and soon. Looks like it would be fun to play. WoW has served its purpose. It's going to start losing lots of folks soon if it hasn't already. It'll always be around more than likely. But it's getting old and long on the tooth. Played more of EQII last night. It's definately more challenging than WoW as far as fighting goes. It's like WoW used to be in that you can be walking along and run into some very hard mobs your level,epic fights. And some fights turn into a three/four/five on one deal quick-the mobs can be connected. I just don't think I want to spend another $$$/month deal playing it again.

Yes.  The Kingdoms game will be released MMO after the original is released.  It is already in development.  Curt Schilling was a HUGE Everquest geek and loves the MMO's.  They are taking their time to develop and release the MMO version.

Sony is already offering a pay as you go plan for EQ2.  They are also dropping their Full access from 29.99 to 19.99 in the near future.  That will give you full access to all their MMO's.  I almost want to pay that and log into my Old Old Ranger in Everquest.  :)  I know my old guild White Wind is still going strong in that game.  It amazes me that people still play the original.

Played that when it first launched.  Cool game.  All bugged the hell up when it launched.  You had to have a group to do anything at all.  It was created to force grouping and there was little to no solo content.  They were not shy about telling the solo complainers about it either.  Come on it was Dungeons and Dragons who played that solo?  It was free to play to a point.  I don't know what has changed the last 3-4 years.  I played that from launch till I found out yall were in WoW.

A man wakes up in the hospital bandaged from head to foot.
The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I'm glad to see you've regained
consciousness. You probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up
on the freeway. You're going to be o.k., you'll walk again and everything.
However, your main "male part" was severed in the accident and we couldn't
find it".

The man groans.

The doctor goes on, "You've got $9000 in insurance compensation coming and
we now have the technology to build a new "male part" for you.  They work
great but they don't come cheap. It's roughly $1000 an inch".
The man perks up.

"So", the doctor says, "You must decide how many inches you want.
I understand that you've been married for over forty years and this is
something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five incher
before and get a nine incher now she might be a bit put out. If you had a
nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five incher now, she
might be disappointed. It's important that she plays a role in helping you
make a decision".

The man agrees to talk it over with his wife.

The doctor comes back the next day and asks, "So, have you spoken with
your wife"?

"Yes I have", says the man.

"And has she helped you make a decision"?

"Yes" says the man.

"What is your decision"? asks the doctor.

"We're getting granite counter-tops".

Hey BearFan, been to HI at least 30 times.  Better be careful, once you go, it might start calling you back again.  ;)

So ok Kauai, There is the Waimea valley, the grand canyon of the pacific.  Down close to the base is the Waimea Brewing Co, the furthest west microbrew pub in the US.  Poipu is the sunny part of the island.  Up by Princeville is the Napili coast, and hiking and caves.  There is the Fern Grotto which you take a boat ride to go see.  Several waterfalls also. 

On Maui, there is the road to Hana.  You only do it once, and if anyone gets remotely car sick, dont even try.  And if you do it, make sure you get an audio cd/tape that tells you stuff along the way.  Lahaina is the old fishing town with shops on the main street.  They also have a harbor with lots of boats going out.   Kaanapali is the upscale resort area.  Makena beach is a big public beach, and if you climb over some rocks at one end you come to a small nuude beach.  Although I saw nothing there I wanted to see.  ;)  If you want you can rent bikes and ride down the volcano.  I would suggest going with a co that lets you go down at your own pace, otherwise I have heard bad  reviews.

On the Big Island, it is so totally different.  Black lava everywhere.  You can make your own graffitti by stealing white coral from other peoples graffitti.  There is the volcano national park.  If you think you want to hike there, bring lots and lots of water.  And the black lava is really sharp so be careful.  Up in Waikaloa the Hilton has the dolphins and the Marriott is a beautiful place next door.  Did a helecopter tour here, and they all say you will see lava flowing, but that was not the case.  Still cool to look into a crater and see red hot lava. 

On Oahu, Waikiki beach of course.  Pearl Harbor for the Arizona memorial, which is free.  There is also the pacific aviation museum on Ford Island with bullet holes from the attack on Pearl Harbor, the USS Missouri battle ship is cool and on Ford Island as well.  The USS Bowfin submarine is by the Arizona visitors center.  The last three all cost money.  Drive up to the north shore to see big waves at Sunset beach or Banzia Pipeline.  Haunama bay for snorkling, although it is closed on Tues. 

If you have any questions just let me know.

Also forgot on both Maui and the Big Island they have the see the sunrise from the top of the volcano.  Something else you only do once.  And it will be VERY cold.

Also forgot you can hike up Diamond Head on Oahu.  It cost to park, and be sure and bring water.  There are two killer sets of stairs, and a spiral staircase you have to go up, but the view is out of this world.

My experience is that Hilo, especially down town Hilo is sort of run down and dumpy.  I think the Kona area is much nicer.  There is a botanical garden that is supposed to be killer right around Hilo.  If you are planning on doing the "drive around the island" trip, it takes a pretty long time.  The big island is really pretty big.

It must be heart breaking.  My mom went through it with her boyfriend.  It was a routine, go to work, stop by the nursing home, make sure he was being taken care of properly, etc.  If you feel like sharing we are here to listen (or read as the case may be).

A word of advice make friends with the nurses so they take better care of her.  Also pay attention to her medication they can be bad about not giving it to them when they should.   It is a thin line to walk because you want to be friendly so they will go out of the way for you and her but also you have to make sure they are doing their jobs correctly.  They are very busy and overworked in most cases.  Most of them want to do a good job but there are a some that really do not care.

Good luck and god bless.  I will say a prayer for you two tonight.

Thanks for the kind words, men.  They are especially meaningful coming from dedicated Bear fans to a Packer fan.  I love you guys.

Shirley has senile demenetia (Alzheimers).  She is also very weak.

She is in a home in Colfax, IL where our daughter lives.  Also, I am in easy driving distance through the countryside.  I feel that the treatment at a nursing home in a small town with people who know each other and feel a kinship and friendliness is better than in a larger town.

I can't describe all the different emotions that run through ones mind during this time.  I pray that none of you guys have to go through this.

dang packrat, I think the Alzheimer's is worse on family than the more physical issues.
My grandma has that and is in a home and we go see her a couple times a month and she doesn't remember who I am.
She is about 80 and in real good physical condition which makes it worse. You have to know her pretty well to know she has any problems at all. When they first moved her to the home we didn't realize she had any issues.

You and the kids and the grand kids go see her as much as you can. Make her a photo album with everyone's picture and names and keep it updated and look through it with her often.

One thing I enjoy about visiting  grandma is while she doesn't remember much about the last several years, she can remember many things from her childhood and she will tell us stories from then that she has never told us before.

One final post about my wife.  It's from my daughter and it has made me feel a whole lot better.  The "nice guys she is referring to is you guys.

Wow Dad, really nice guys!  We went to see Mom yesterday.  Dave wheeled her out to the gazebo for a while and Alec came too.  She seemed really bright and perky - we all noticed it.  I think this place is gonna be good for her.  They get her up and she was so cleaned up and had on nice clothes.  She LOVES the food. and she wasn't mad at you anymore - at least for that day.  She said that she felt bad cuz she was mean to you.  Dave told her she needed to be nice to you :)  Anyhow, we took her in and took her to lunch and I set up an appointment for her for Friday to get a perm and style with Kim (the girls told us that Mom told them she wanted a perm).  So I gave Donna some more money and told her to get her set up with Kim ASAP.  She called Kim right away and Kim said she could do it tomorrow. 
 
Jessica has a friend that works over there and she told her that mom was there and to take good care of her.  You'll love this - she said -I know, I've met her!  We all love her,she is so funny!  I told Jessica - "but she has such a sarcastic sense of humor!"  And Jessica said that's what they like about her, they just give it right back to her!  So I think she is going to be just fine!
Not sure why but she kept calling Alec "Jim".   Maybe Jim King?  Very weird.  She has never called the boys the wrong name before, she usually just forgets their name.  Not really sure she knew who Alec was.
 
Anyhow, we will stop and see her again tomorrow.  I would like to go and talk to Kim about Mom's hair and about how I might do it sometimes too.  I want her to feel like we want her to do mom's hair, but let her know that if I do it, it doesn't mean we don;t like what she is doing!
 
Talk to ya later,
 
Sherie

Ted buys a harley. The seller tells him, "whenever it's gonna rain, rub Vaseline on the chrome so it won't rust." And he hands Ted a jar of Vaseline.
 
That night, his girlfriend takes him to meet her parents. So they take the bike. But just before they go in, She says: "I have to tell you When we eat, we don't talk. In fact, the first person who says anything during dinner has to do the dishes." "Okay", he says. They sit down and no one says a word.

As dinner goes on, Ted decides to test the situation. So he reaches over and grabs her boob. Nobody says a word. So he stands up, rips her clothes off, and screws her right there, in front of her parents. But no one says a word. So he grabs the mom, bends her over the table and nails her, then sits down But still, Total silence. All of a sudden there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain. Ted remembers his bike, so he pulls the jar of Vaseline from his pocket... Suddenly the father shouts: "I'll DO the FUCCKIN' dishes!"

Memory and cognition
Early studies of phosphatidylserine distilled the chemical from bovine brain.

I can somewhat relate, packy. I had to put my Dad in a nursing home, he's been there for 2 years now. I've had to deal with the "only reason I'm here, is my son put me in here". I go see him almost every day, and most day's I leave feeling bad that he's in there. I carry a burden of guilt, that somehow I could've or should've done more, or done things differently. Though deep down, I know this was the only course of action that made sense. So my friend, I can relate, I don't know your exact feelings, but I do understand the weight that you carry by making that decision..

Hang in there, life's tough and wasn't meant for sissy's..

Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human feces
 (http://www.digitaltrends.com/international/japanese-scientists-creates-meat-out-of-feces/)


It's being called the "poop burger". Japanese scientists have found a way to create artificial meat from sewage containing human feces.  Somehow this feels like a Vonnegut plotline: population boom equals food shortage. Solution? Synthesize food from human waste matter. Absurd yes, but Japanese scientists have actually discovered a way to create edible steaks from human feces.  Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory, has developed steaks based on proteins from human excrement. Tokyo Sewage approached the scientist because of an overabundance of sewage mud. They asked him to explore the possible uses of the sewage and Ikeda found that the mud contained a great deal of protein because of all the bacteria.  The researchers then extracted those proteins, combined them with a reaction enhancer and put it in an exploder which created the artificial steak. The “meat” is 63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals. The researchers color the poop meat red with food coloring and enhance the flavor with soy protein. Initial tests have people saying it even tastes like beef.

Artificial meat could slice emissions, say scientists (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/jun/20/artificial-meat-emissions)

Meat grown artificially in labs could be a greener alternative for consumers who cannot bear to go vegetarian but want to cut the environmental impact of their food, according to new research.  The study found that growing meat in the lab (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/dec/01/lab-grown-meat) rather than slaughtering animals would generate only a tiny fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional livestock production.  The researchers believe their work suggests artificial meat could help feed the growing world population (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/aug/16/artificial-meat-food-royal-society) while reducing the impact on the environment.  According to the analysis by scientists from Oxford University and Amsterdam University, lab-grown tissue would reduce greenhouse gases by up to 96% in comparison to raising animals. The process would require between 7% and 45% less energy than the same volume of conventionally produced meat such as pork, beef, or lamb, and could be engineered to use only 1% of the land and 4% of the water associated with conventional meat.

Thanks, Navigator.  I was talking to the nurse and the secretary at the nursing home Wednsesday and saying how it hurts to hear my wife conplain.  They both told me not to worry about that.  Some patients do that but as soon as you leave the room they forget all about it and go about entering into the activity.  They said Shirley is getting along fine and the aides like her alot.

Not sure if you're referring to my Dad, Packy. My Dad hasn't eaten hardly anything in about 5 days, it's almost a "here we go again". I don't know if he b1tches as much as he used to about "my son putting me in here". The thing was, when I'd hear that, it would almost p!ss me off more than hurt my feelings. I've busted my ass for him to see to it that he's being taken care of. I'm sure that at some point adult services would've stepped in, then they would've wanted to hold me accountable. When he was at home (towards the end) I had him sent to the emergency room 'cause he was sick and was all goofed up. The Doctor was quite insistent then about my Dad going into the nursing home. Instead, I took him back home. I did everything I could for him, and he still blamed me. It's a thankless fukking job, I can verify that..

Being your wife, that's got to be a tough one. Another thing I can tell you, unless someone has had to deal with this, they have no idea what your going through..

Space Shuttle Atlantis in orbit.  End of an era.  Fastest winged vehicle ever built.  Hard to believe those orbiters were designed and built in the 1970's and are still in use today.  The shuttle never delivered on the promise of cheap and frequent access to space as was promised, but what it did deliver was pretty amazing.  American ingenuity on display every time those ships took off.  It's a shame that for the first time since Alan Shepard made his historic first flight on Mercury in 1961, America has no spacecraft capable of carrying astronauts.

 In many cases you are the last one standing...so the protection of your own becomes your duty.

 It's just the toss of the dice...why them and not you?

 I would like to think that there is answer for all of our questions.

 At this point in time in living...we'll never know.

 Perhaps that is the reason for living...

I finally found an mmo to play until Diablo 3 comes out.

Forsaken World

It is fairly similar to WoW but has a lot more going on.  It is free to download and no monthly fee.  The graphics are damn good and so is the game play for being totally free.

Of course you can spend real money if you want to but I have played from level 1 to 21 since yesterday evening and have had zero reason to spend anything and have not been held back at all.  I have not done any instances because I am still a noob and getting the hang of it.

I have made a elf priest, a Kindred Vampire and a dwarf marksman so far.

The server they are all on is lionheart which is a westcoast server.  Knowing you are on the eastcoast go ahead and pick one and let me know.  I can roll whatever we need there.  Basicly you need a tank and a healer then can fill in dps like WoW for instances.  You have to have a protector (which is the tank) and healer (which is a priest and a few other classes can do it as well).

The Diablo series has always been very beginner friendly.  You can seriously play while watching TV if you die big deal just rez and start killing agin.  Or you can be very serious and play **** which means once your character dies it is done.  It ****es you off but at the same time such a rush because dying in a video game actually means something.  To have thousands of hours in a toon and the health bar is getting low and you are doing everything and anything  to stay alive.  You are actually running for your characters life.  I actually got adrenaline rushes from it.

Much more so then a most mmo's.  "Massive Multiplayer Online" games.

You can buy Diablo 2 for next to nothing I believe it is still sold at walmart and such places.  It is really old and the graphics and gameplay are very dated but it would be an easy game to learn with.  Plus almost all the mmo's out there are somewhat based on it.  WoW was built from the money and experience Blizzard got from D2.

All my children have played Diablo and D2 when they were to young to play the more advanced stuff.  It is also how I got my wife playing that sort of game.

 Yeah I know the Kamen design of split rotors which dates back to the 1950's.

 One of the best records ever when it came to crashes. The Kamen was in a class by itself.

 In fact for the U.S. Navy the last I heard...not one ever crashed.

 Packy,

 Lets think lower...are we dealing with Chinese hoards coming at us who already own us?

 If not...then whats the threat?

 Retarded hillbillys out of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

 Youd have to take the american military complex and scale it back about thirty years...

 to deal with hillbillys.

 For that you need the weapons of 30 years ago ... its a gunfight...

 you wanna jam their ass up and they wanna jam your ass up.

 It's funny but aircraft that were considerd obsolete would be just what is needed in Afghanistan.

  http://www.skyraider.org/

 but then you would have to ask yourself...

 if Muslims want to kill Muslims...

 why are we involved?

 Is there a bridge in anybodys County that needs repair?

 Basically what the Muslims want to do to each other ... I really dont giving two fuuuucking shiiiits****s about.

 Thats their problem...NOT MINE.

 I know it sounds nuts...I know it sounds CRAZY...

 but I would rather spend money for US...then spend money for them.

 Who hate us no matter what we do anyway. Thats just my opinion.

 I'm sorry I posted this in the wrong forum.

WML,

Did you ever get to play?  My daughter and her friend are playing on the same server as me and that would give us enough people to run an instance.  As long as you don't have any problems with lag playing on a west coast server.

I think the point is, jj, that they can now use that helicopter technique to creat a new animal - heliccopter drone.  That would be merging old ideas with new technology keeping our military #1.

Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:

 

1. Teaching Math in the 1950s -- A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  His cost of production is 4/5 of the price?  What is his profit?

 

2. Teaching Math in the 1960s – A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80.  What is his profit?

 

3. Teaching Math in the 1970s -- A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. id he make a profit?

 

4. Teaching Math in the 1980s -- A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20.  Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

 

5. Teaching Math in the 1990s -- A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands.  He does this so he can make a profit of $20.  What do you think of this way of making a living?  Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers and if you feel like crying, it's ok.)

 

6. Teaching Math in the 2000s – If you have special needs or just feel you need assistance because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, childhood memories, criminal background, then don't answer and the correct answer will be provided for you.  There are no wrong answers.

 

7. Teaching Math in 2011 -- Un hachero vende una carrtada de maderapara 100 pesos.  El costo de la producciones es 80 pesos.  Cuanto dinero ha hecho?

My daughter just walked into the living room and said "Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out of the window, take my TV, and stereo, and iPhone, and iPod, and my laptop.

Please take all of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Cash Converters. Then sell my new car, take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house.” Then disown me and never talk to me again. And don’t forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to my brother.


Well, she didn't put it quite like that... she actually said...   


"Dad this is my new boyfriend, Mohamed."

That is the worst part of the game if you ask me.  The character movement and the camera angles.  Almost so much that I was going to stop playing after about an hour the first day trying to figure out just how to move the character around and see what was going on behind me and everything.

Alright, it is on again.  I got a short taste this past March to visit Chicago, but we are coming for a short vacation in December before Christmas.  got a good rate at the Conrad Hilton in downtown of $89/night - Christmas in July special and will be there the weekend of the Seahawk's game.  I don't think I will attend in person unless a couple of tickets drop in at dirt low price, but I think I would be better off taking this game in at a bar downtown. 

Any suggestions?  Of course Ditka's is an option, but am open to other suggestions within walking distance of Water Tower  in downtown.

Rodgers: "We talking about practice?"

 
e-mail
print
By Tyler Dunne of the Journal Sentinel

Updated: Aug. 9, 2011 4:11 p.m. |(49) Comments
 
It's early August. Training camp is young. No, Aaron Rodgers wasn't exactly tossing and turning all night after the Packers' lackluster practice Monday night.
 
Cue the Allen Iverson impersonation.
 
"Practice? We talking about practice?" the quarterback said at Tuesday's media session. "We're not talking about a game. We're talking about practice. ... Uh, practice? I'm not overly concerned. It was a tough environment inside. We just have to clean things up a little bit. Too many mental mistakes."
 
A day after Mike McCarthy's semi-rant on fundamentals -- or a lack thereof -- Rodgers doused the flames on Tuesday. The offense was rusty inside the Don Hutson Center Monday but McCarthy could be looking to motivate his team more than anything.
 
With a defiant "no," Rodgers dismissed the notion that not getting together during the off-season for workouts had any carryover effect into training camp. The Super Bowl MVP has lived the ups and downs of camp before.
 
It's practice. It's early.
 
"I think the tempo, other than last night, has been improving each practice," Rodgers said. "We have a lot of young guys that need to figure things out a little bit, and the veterans have to play better, too. There's a lot of stuff going on. Our defense is not the easiest to play against in practice. They have a lot of different looks and blitzes. We just need to do a better job of the fundamentals."
 
The defensive pressure has thrown Green Bay's offense off at times. For stretches, the unit has put together strong drives. Other times, drops, fumbles and overthrows scar drives. Maybe we're seeing a transition here. The Packers are trying to reincorporate Jermichael Finley and a viable rushing game back into the offense.
 
Finley, for one, doesn't believe there is a feeling-out period.
 
"I think we're going to go in rolling," Finley said. "I think everything's going to be smooth sailings. Everybody will get their touches. Ryan Grant will get the ball if he wants. It's going to be a great year, a special year."
 
More than anything, Rodgers just wants to play a different team again. He says that Dom Capers isn't the most fun coach to face at practice.
 
"He brings blitzes all day," Rodgers said. "We're trying to run a screen period, and he's throwing corner blitzes out there. It's making it tough for us, but it's good for us. If we can figure out ways to be successful against a defense like Dom has you would think it would be a little easier against a less diverse defense."
 
In a game. Not practice. A game, a game. The truer gauge on where Green Bay's offense is comes Aug. 13 in Cleveland.

Sounds like my theory was absolutely correct.  The Packers are fat and happy after their Super Bowl win and did not put in the work during the off season.  "The Beav" is trying to turn it around now that he finally has them in camp.

I had it YEARS ago when it was much cheaper. What was it recently, $400 plus? Seen commercials on it being free but I'd definately be reading the fine print. Not sure how they can go from $400 or whatever it was to nothing....just doesn't happen without some cards not being shown....they're gonna get their money somehow.

I think you have to sign up for a mid package for 2 years.
you get the ticket for free the first year.

I looked into it the other day but don't want to be tied into a 2yr contract.

If we are posting videos then you all have to watch the best music video ever made.

Johnny Cash's last video and it was a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song yet it summed up his life so well.  The emotion in his voice is palpable.  If you knew anything about his life the video so sums up his regrets and failures.  I am not a country fan and never understood why my dad liked Cash so much.  Until I listened to this.

Gas here went from $3.32/gal to $3.89 in one day! The most I've ever seen it jump in one shot-57 cents! Wrote the reps fuming. On another fun note, the wife had a quarter sized sebaceous cyst removed from her back and left open to heal a week ago, done at a local surgery center with only local anesthesia at the spot. Took 20 mins total. Minor deal....just got the insurance form from my companies insurance..they charged $6000 for 20 mins of minor work! We lost our jaws on that one. The insurance co. "discounted" it to $4500. Imagine....for a entire hour of doing this,they would have gotten $18,000!!!! Do that 8 hrs a day,it's $144k. 40hrs/wk? $720,000! And for 48 weeks a year with a few vac weeks removed? $34,560,000!!! Just staggering....we are ALL over fraud charges on this bad boy! Let my insurance co. know to investigate em. We found out from a doc that he used the place to have his sons septum fixed there and they charged him a staggering $32k for it!

When dealing with medical charges there's a whole lot more to it than the time the procedure takes. You are paying for the expertise to know  how to do the procedure. I'm not saying that it's not expensive but do you really want even minor out-patient surgery on your wife done by the lowest bidder?  Wonder what their malpractice insurance premiums are?

If anyone can justify that kind of expense for that little time...boy....I don't know. $18k a hour? Seriously? This isn't major heart surgery here. It's removing a little cyst. I told em if they're gonna charge this much to stitch her back up,I'll do it myself!! She agreed! We haven't given up on getting this looked at...we're not backing down and letting them rip off my company. No way no how.... and as a side note,we called another surgery center in South Bend,40miles or so away where we took our daughter to get her tonsils out. They quoted the same procedure, $1200.....5 times cheaper! We never imagined having to go frigging PRICE SHOPPING at surgery centers! Ridiculous....

Why wouldn't you?  I find it silly you didn't.

Healthcare is very expensive do you not price shop when buying a new home or car or appliance?

Also keep in mind they charge insurance companies completely different much higher amounts then they charge patients with no insurance.  They do this to make up for the people that do not pay.   
Title: Re: The Sidelines (04.12.11 - 09.10.15)
Post by: Sportster on August 31, 2011, 10:36:19 pm
Peke, this isn't grocery shopping dude. This is the doctor says this is what it is and here is where you go to get it fixed, because THIS is where he goes to DO the procedure. I have NEVER called around to any surgery place and asked 'what do you charge for so and so'. Why? Because the doc determines where it's done. If you're going to check the surgery center, then you also need to go through the phone book and find a doctor that works in that center. Remember, docs are connected to certain centers and hospitals. This isn't 'I want you to perform this at so and so center'. This is 'this is where I am and you need to come there to get it done'.
Sadly, this has changed everything for us. Where we can, we're checking ahead of time but most places won't release info. We know now not to go to THIS place again and will let everyone we know about it too. Remember also that not every place is willing to give this information out! Good example: my wife needed a back brace. It's a simple looking, black synthetic thing that pulls tight to enhance back support. We got the EOB (explanation of benefits) back and were stunned to see it cost $800. SO she called the place that sells it and asked how much they sell it for. They asked her where she lived, what insurance she had, and STILL were reluctant to give any price out! They are padding their prices depending on your insurance and where you live. It's a scam to rip insurance co's off!!

A lot of Doctors own these local surgery centers and only do their procedures there.   It's a conflict of interest if you ask me, not to mention anti-competitive.

Another reason price shopping isn't realistic or reliable is each center generally uses different codes for different procedures so what Center A charges vs Center B is hard to find due to differences in coding, which is what they go by. They don't make it easy to figure this out for a reason....they want to protect their mega cash cow! I'm learning more than I care to about how these places work. I shouldn't have to be dealing with this for good reason. If I'm unconscious from a accident, sickness, who know's what, I'm at the mercy of where they deem fit to take me. I don't have a card that says 'if Im struck down, take me to A because B is so expensive'. Having to shop for this stuff is like having to analyze the quality of the oil I put in my car myself. I shouldn't HAVE to! I should be able to trust that they aren't going to rip me off and put colored water in that container and ruin my car. I understand there may be differences in pricing but massive differences? Or a place that is seemingly unregulated, free to charge a unlimited fee with no repurcussions or oversight? Might as well stick a gun to my head because that is EXACTLY what it is, robbery!! Pure and simple.....

I called my insurance company about a similar issue and they said that since the dr. is in network they set the rate they will pay and that is the rate agreed to by the insurance company and the dr. I think they only time you risk insurance fraud is when they charge you for services they did not perform or performed services that weren't really needed.

The plot thickens!...we talked to the doc that did the procedure and he said the code they used isn't the one he gave them. But they understood what the procedure is...hmm...padding the bill, maybe? Yea, we'll use the NEXT higher code up to increase the price substantially. Most of the time when you bring this to a hospital or docs attention, the FIRST thing they'll say is 'well, your insurance is covering most of it aren't they?'. Yea, so that makes it right to rip them blind don't it. Not to mention we have to pay something and the higher it is the more WE'RE paying out of pocket! I don't personally care to be the one that helps them buy their next new ripoff center with gold toilets.....

Not sure about the Direct TV deal. Local cable company has been running ads about the Direct TV offer being deceptive and that the price will go uo $400 yr after the first 6 months and another $800 for the second year but they dont tell you the specifics of what is going up.

 Chicago Bears Deep Dish Pan Pizza


If yer gonna be stuffin yer gullet as you watch the greatest team in history ...

Atlanta has Coca-Cola and thats it, except for a few hotdog joints.

Heres how BEARS FANS get it done :

Buy a Red Baron Pan Pizza Meat Trio

Buy 8 oz. of mozzarella

Buy Italian sausage

Buy Marinara sauce

Preheat oven to 375°

Take the Red Baron pizza OUT of the pan it came in and put it on a flat plate.

Put on a layer of Marinara sauce

Cut the Italian sausage up and sprinkle it around really good

Lay the whole 8 oz of mozzarella on top

Top off with more Marinara sauce

Put in oven and keep an eye on it until crust browns ...

this could vary from one oven to another ... this is more eyeball and smell

Make sure its cooked thru, use an oven gauge

When out of the oven ... lay on the grated parmesan cheese, grated red pepper,

Which you already have on your pantry shelf

ENJOY BEARS FANS!

Total cost : Wal-Mart ...

$4.98 for the pan Red Barons pizza

$2.32 for mozzarella

$3.18 for Italian sausage ,use the extra links for sammiches later in the week

$1.69 for Marinara sauce

Remember : they only get to drink Coca Cola ...

you get to drink Coca Cola AND eat a Chicago BEARS Deep Dish Pan Pizza!

Thats why we're DAA BEARRSSE babes!

TRUST ME ... you just made enuff food to last for one get together of 4 BEARS fans or more.

WE OWE MATT RYAN LETS GET IT AWN!!

Had to go cable....but thankfully all Bears games are local. But would be real nice to be able to see other games I'm interested in. Sounds like you got a good deal anyway.....

 A pillar of physics — that nothing can go faster than the speed of light — appears to be smashed by an oddball subatomic particle that has apparently made a giant end run around Albert Einstein's theories.

Scientists at the world's largest physics lab said Thursday they have clocked neutrinos traveling faster than light. That's something that according to Einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity — the famous E (equals) mc2 equation — just doesn't happen.

"The feeling that most people have is this can't be right, this can't be real," said James Gillies, a spokesman for the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The organization, known as CERN, hosted part of the experiment, which is unrelated to the massive $10 billion Large Hadron Collider also located at the site.

Gillies told The Associated Press that the readings have so astounded researchers that they are asking others to independently verify the measurements before claiming an actual discovery.
 
 "They are inviting the broader physics community to look at what they've done and really scrutinize it in great detail, and ideally for someone elsewhere in the world to repeat the measurements," he said Thursday.

Scientists at the competing Fermilab in Chicago have promised to start such work immediately.

"It's a shock," said Fermilab head theoretician Stephen Parke, who was not part of the research in Geneva. "It's going to cause us problems, no doubt about that — if it's true."

The Chicago team had similar faster-than-light results in 2007, but those came with a giant margin of error that undercut its scientific significance.

Other outside scientists expressed skepticism at CERN's claim that the neutrinos — one of the strangest well-known particles in physics — were observed smashing past the cosmic speed barrier of 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second).
 
 University of Maryland physics department Chairman Drew Baden called it "a flying carpet," something that was too fantastic to be believable.

CERN says a neutrino beam fired from a particle accelerator near Geneva to a lab 454 miles (730 kilometers) away in Italy traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light. Scientists calculated the margin of error at just 10 nanoseconds, making the difference statistically significant. But given the enormous implications of the find, they still spent months checking and rechecking their results to make sure there were no flaws in the experiment.

"We have not found any instrumental effect that could explain the result of the measurement," said Antonio Ereditato, a physicist at the University of Bern, Switzerland, who was involved in the experiment known as OPERA.

The researchers are now looking to the United States and Japan to confirm the results.
 
A similar neutrino experiment at Fermilab near Chicago would be capable of running the tests, said Stavros Katsanevas, the deputy director of France's National Institute for Nuclear and Particle Physics Research. The institute collaborated with Italy's Gran Sasso National Laboratory for the experiment at CERN.

Katsanevas said help could also come from the T2K experiment in Japan, though that is currently on hold after the country's devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

Scientists agree if the results are confirmed, that it would force a fundamental rethink of the laws of nature.

Einstein's special relativity theory that says energy equals mass times the speed of light squared underlies "pretty much everything in modern physics," said John Ellis, a theoretical physicist at CERN who was not involved in the experiment. "It has worked perfectly up until now."

He cautioned that the neutrino researchers would have to explain why similar results weren't detected before.

"This would be such a sensational discovery if it were true that one has to treat it extremely carefully," said Ellis.

60 nanoseconds?!? Is this even worth worrying about?? That is so absurdly minute that it shouldn't even be a issue. I was thinking it was a few miles per second faster, not something that is barely measurable....

Because nothing according to what we knew since 1905 can ever go faster then the speed of light.

60 nanoseconds?!? Is this even worth worrying about?? That is so absurdly minute that it shouldn't even be a issue. I was thinking it was a few miles per second faster, not something that is barely measurable....

In theory it should never be able to do even that.

If this turns out to be confirmed,throw everything in the garbage that we thought we knew.

To put it in other terms, your car just went from a top speed of 120 mph to 1200 mph.

Packrat, my dad would be thrilled knowing she was around the Henry, Lacon, Varna area. Not sure why, but my dad loved the town of Varna...always a mystery to me. My dad is buried in Lacon. Can't figure that one out either.

The Salem Cemetary? #1 Salem in Washburn is supposed to be haunted.

just read an article in the Trib that features commentary on a book about the late,great Walter Payton.The book reveals that Walter,over-used pain meds after retiring from the game,had mistresses & an illegitimate kid,expressed suicidal thoughts,blah,blah...what purpose does it serve, beyond making some scum-dog writer money,to reveal the all-too human failings of a  great athlete?

A SHARED EXPERIENCE




I would like to share an experience with you.  It has to do with drinking and driving.


As you know some of us have had brushes with the authorities on our way home in the past. Well, I for one have done something about it.


The other night I was out for a dinner and a few drinks - and having far too much vino, and knowing full well I was wasted, I did something I’ve never done before. I took a bus home.


I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise, since I have never driven a bus before.

Excerpt from Mark's blog:

...Aspergers
There's a "disease," a "learning disorder" called Aspergers, named after Hans Asperger, who both had it and first described and diagnosed it. In Aspergers, a portion of the NT's brain (NT: Neuro-Typical, our name for "normal people") that does emotional recognition is wired instead to do geometry and math. People with Aspergers with years of effort can sometimes can develop improved social skills, just as NTs with years of effort can sometimes learn Calculus. No Asperger type, however, will ever be a compellingly masterful orator like Reagen, Clinton or Obama, just as no NT will ever learn General Relativity, Astronautics, or program a high-speed communications switch.

Aspergers, a mild form of autism sometimes called "Engineers Disease," is spreading through the population. In 1985 1 in 2500 newborns were diagnosed on the Autism spectrum. By 2000 it was 1 in 500; in 2004 it was 1 in 166, and in 2009 1 in 91. Careful tests have been made, and this profound increase is not due to improved awareness or testing, it's a real phenomenon. No one has any clue to the cause; however, we're witnessing the emergence of a new species, "Homo Aspians."

Just as the NT doctors seek a "cure" for Aspergers, we Aspies imagine a world where most everyone had Aspergers and suddenly NT children started to appear. We would be very concerned for these children, and would seek a "cure" for their symptoms: lying, cheating, teasing, incessant talking especially about themselves, excessive emoting and drama, a cavalier disregard for facts and knowledge, substantially decreased ability to form life-long friendships, an inability to understand and fix computer problems, and a near complete inability to do math or science. By contrast our major symptoms are an inability to be in loud places or around flashing lights like in discos and meat market bars, a strong dislike for crowds, poor skills relating to strangers especially in groups, discomfort with emotions, a complete inability to make or understand small talk, and an obsessive desire to master some subject or skill. Hans Asperger said, for success in science or art, a dash of autism is essential. The essential ingredient may be an ability to turn away from the everyday world, from the simply practical and to rethink a subject with originality so as to create in new untrodden ways with all abilities canalized into the one specialty.

Probably 90% of the students at Caltech and MIT have Aspergers - certainly that was true when I went to Caltech. Probably a quarter of Ashkenazi Jews have some degree of Aspergers. It's positively rampant among Asians, hence their quick domination of all things engineering. Absent people with Aspergers, we would not have satellites, transistors, lasers, radio, computers or the Internet. Or industrial robots. You would also miss out on many of your favorite artists. Below is a short list of some people from history that are believed to have had Aspergers. Try to imagine your world without them, just as we sometimes try to imagine our world without soap operas, raves, the National Enquirer, Ponzi schemes including Madoff and Amway, telemarketers and car salesmen.

Jane Austen
Bob Dylan
Bill Gates
Jim Henson
Carl Jung
John Nash
Nikola Tesla
 Ludwig van Beethoven
Thomas Edison
Charles de Gaulle
Alfred Hitchcock
Franz Kafka
Isaac Newton
Henry Thoreau
 Alexander Graham Bell

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
George Bernard Shaw
Leonardo Da Vinci
 


Malthus
From about 1800 to about 1825, Thomas Malthus published several papers on a single important point: in times of relative ease, population increases geometrically. This means if you have 100,000 people in this generation, you'll have perhaps 150,000 in the next, 225,000 in the next, 337,000 in the next, 506,000 in the next, and so on. However, the ability to grow food raises only linearly: if you can feed 100,000 people in this generation, then perhaps 150,000 in the next, 200,000 in the next, then 250,000 then 300,000 then 350,000 and so on. The inevitable result: poverty then malnourishment then starvation in the lower classes. Of course the upper classes always do just fine.

 

In the 200 years since Malthus, many people have predicted starvation for the whole world based on his ideas. Up until about 20 years ago, science was able to improve agriculture at such a rate and wars and pogroms killed so many people that it didn't happen; perhaps many thought it never would. It's happening now, and it's going to get worse. Jim Rogers has said, "There will come a time when there are parts of the world where food is not available at any price."

The Coming Malthusian Industrial Crisis
Before the Great Depression, about 70% of the US population was employed in agriculture. Between the economic displacements of the depression, the dust bowl conditions of the 1930s, and mechanization of farms, a huge number of these people lost their jobs and found themselves broke, unemployed and homeless. Today about 3% of the US population produces all the food we need; it's unthinkable that agriculture could employ 70% of our population. The 1940s solution was WWII: we shipped a couple million of our men off to war, and built up a huge war time industry making ships, army vehicles, and aircraft. When the war was over this huge investment in industry paid off: there were civilian uses for ships, cars and aircraft, and these industries geared up to make versions for the public. This included hiring huge numbers of factory workers who promptly unionized and got good lifestyles for themselves. It's important to remember that during this industrialization period in America's history, oil was cheap, computers didn't exist, and our competition from Europe and Asia had just been bombed into rubble. Today Asia is trying to industrialize during a period of expensive and inflating food and energy; a time when computers are cheap and ubiquitous; and world competition is cut-throat.

In the current depression, huge numbers of manufacturing and construction workers have been laid off. Many of these jobs are never coming back, just as the agricultural jobs before the Great Depression never came back. Again the issue is mechanization, this time not due to mechanical reapers and five horsepower tractors but industrial computer control systems and robots designed by our growing population of Asperger engineers and scientists. Some of these jobs can still be done for very low wages: it turns out that an Asian woman making $250 per month is cheaper than a CNC sewing machine or small parts assembly robot. So temporarily some of these jobs have relocated to Asia. However, the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans are now the world leaders in producing inexpensive CNC machines, and it's just a matter of time until the $250 / month worker becomes redundant. The number of these manufacturing jobs that goes upscale into the $5,000 per month salary range will be in the hundreds for all of Asia's three billion people. In the 1950s manufacturing employed about 30% of our population. Today we manufacture far more using about 8% of our population, and that number is shrinking. It's unthinkable that manufacturing could employ 30%+ of our population.

Those who think a combination of industrial policy and government stimulus programs will somehow drag our economy kicking and screaming back into the 80s and 90s and restore the jobs lost to automation are destined to join those jobs on the scrap heap of history. Moreover, those who think China and India can produce a billion manufacturing and construction jobs for unskilled and semi-skilled workers are completely ignoring the reality of modern computerized mechanization. If you asked Bechtel to bid on the construction of a new Great Wall of China, they would never consider using tens of millions of low paid low skill workers and no heavy equipment - it simply wouldn't cross their minds. To the contrary, likely their first act would be to solicit bids for new Automated Great Wall Construction Machines from John Deere and Kubota.

The unfortunate truth is that of the world's nearly 7 billion people, there are at least three billion who will never get a chance to experience the American Dream - a good paying job for a low education low skill person that lets them support a family and eventually perhaps own a house and car. The reality is much more bleak: the jobs will never come, food prices will continue to inflate, and hopelessness and hunger will be the reality for billions in Africa and Asia. Here in the US we have lost perhaps 28 million such jobs in the last couple of years, and while many of these people will eventually find some sort of employment, few of them will make much more than minimum wage and many won't find employment even at that pay scale.

There's no going back to the pre-computer manufacturing age. The sad but inescapable truth is, the world has three or four billion people for whom we have no use, and little or no food or water. Aspergers types are building a world where there is no need for half the world's population.

A young farm couple, Homer and Darlene, got married and just couldn't seem to get enough lovin'.
 
In the morning, before Homer left the house for the fields, they made love.
 
When Homer came back from the fields, they made love.
 
And again at bedtime, they made love.
 
The problem was their noon time love making; it took Homer a half hour to
travel home and another half hour to return to the fields and he just wasn't
getting enough work done.
 
Finally Homer asked the town doctor what to do.
 
"Homer," said the doctor, "just take your rifle out to the field with you
and when you're in the mood, fire off a shot into the air. That will be
Darlene's signal to come out to you. Then you won't lose any field time."
 
They tried Doc's advice and it worked well for a while.
 
Then one day Homer came back to the doctor's office.
 
"What's wrong?" asked the Doc. "Didn't my idea work?"
 
"Oh, it worked real good," said Homer. "Whenever I was in the mood, I fired
off a shot like you said and Darlene'd come runnin'. We'd find a secluded

place, make love, and then she'd go back home again."
 
"Good, Homer. So what's the problem?" asked the Doc.
 
Homer said, "I ain't seen her since huntin' season started."

McDonald's commandeers 11/11/11 as 'Fryday'

(http://www.chicagobusiness.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/storyimage/CG/20111109/NEWS07/111109725/AR/AR-111109725.jpg&maxw=368&q=100)

By: Kate MacArthur November 09, 2011

(Crain's) — McDonald's Corp. restaurants are using Friday's numerical palindromic date to promote its french fries.

Playing on the 11/11/11 digital version of Nov. 11, McDonald's franchisees in metro Chicago will offer small orders of fries for 50 cents for the day. That's half the usual price for the portion.

“We hope Chicagoland residents will take advantage of this unique offer to enjoy, what are considered by many, as the ‘Best Fries on the Planet,'” said Ron Lofton, franchisee and president of McDonald's Owner Operators of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana, in a statement.

Sales of fries have been declining since 2006, according to Port Washington, N.Y.-based market researcher NPD Group Inc., as nutritionists have pushed for less-caloric options. To assuage them, the Oak Brook-based chain recently downsized the portion size of its fries for kids' meals and added a few apple slices. Meanwhile, Dublin, Ohio-based rival Wendy's Co. overhauled its fries last year to a “natural cut” variety with the skin on and dressed with sea salt.

“They've moved away more recently from promoting their fries as they focus on healthier options, but there's no doubt that french fries are a pretty profitable side item,” says David Henkes, vice president of Chicago-based food industry consultant Technomic Inc. “I think fries will always be core to what the offering is for McDonald's.”

To promote the sale, McDonald's billboards feature six fries lined up in the numerical form of the date with the offer. Also on Friday — which is Veterans Day — the chain will host a competition to create a dish to go with fries. The contest pits Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould and wide receiver Earl Bennett vs. Bull and Bear Bar executive chef David Blonsky and personal chef to the stars Cordell McGary from Passion's Cuisine Inc. in Chicago.

Then on Saturday, the company plans to light two spotlights to create a No. 11 beacon at the chain's Chicago flagship location at Clark and Ontario streets. They will shine through the end of the month.

Everyone wants in on the 11/11 bandwagon. Motorola is releasing their new 'Razr' phone on 11/11 at 11:11am. VH1 Classic has been showing commercials of 11/11 as 'Heavy Metal Day' or something. I'm sure there are many many more doing other things as well...

“In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: 'We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice."    ~Linus van Pelt

Are you aware that a new world record
has been set for the HIGH JUMP
from a KNEELING position ?

The record (0.757 meters) -
Remember this is from a KNEELING position.

It was set recently on a beach
near Montpellier in Southern France .

The photograph below
was taken a split second before the jump -
but it gives you an idea
as to how it was achieved .......

Holiday Warning...

Please, take care of yourself.

A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related.
This means that the remaining 77% are caused by asses who drink bottled water, starbucks, soda, juice, energy drinks, and crap like that.
Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times as many accidents.

Two medical students were walking along the street
when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread
apart. He was stiff-legged and walking slowly.

One student  said to his friend: "I'm sure that poor old
man has Peltry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that."

The other student says: "No, I don't think so.
The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome.
He walks slowly and his legs are apart, just as we learned in class."

Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man.
They approached him and one of the students said to him, "We're
medical students and couldn't help but notice the way you
walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have.
Could you tell us what it is?" 

The old man said, "I'll tell you, but first you tell me what you two fine medical students think." 
The first student said, "I think it's Peltry Syndrome." 
The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong."   
 

The other student said, "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome." 
The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." 
So they asked him, "Well, old timer, what do you have?" 

The old man said,
"I thought it was GAS - but I was wrong, too!"

Good lord- I'd completely forgotten.  Doing that more and more.  As one who watched them live on Ed Sullivan (in B/W) I can't begin to describe the impact the Beatles had on me.  I really haven't been shocked alot in my life, but watching them the first time was one of them. Records, sheet music, lusting after a Rickenbacher, I did, and still do think they were and will be the greatest of all time.  The Beatles Sat. morning cartoons, when viewed while still fried on acid were light years past sensational.       I've been told.

 No one ever does. But if you missed out on doubledome windowpane ... you missed out.

 Rocket fuel for space cowboys. Good stuff.  :D  ;D  :-X  ;)  :)

 It's alway been interesting that the first guy to take acid, was riding around on a bicycle in Geneva,

 in 1943 ... while the rest of the world was at WAR.

 You would have to ask yourself who was the most SANE person on the planet at the time.

 At least he wasnt hell bent on killing anybody ... unlike the rest of the planet in that period.

I bought some wine making equipment and am going to start making some homemade wine.  Anyone have some decent recipes?

I have two 5 gallon food grade buckets, A 5 gallon glass carboy, Some wine yeast, Air locks and some other stuff either here or on the way.

Basicly I would like to start this weekend.  However it seems everytime I read something new I need more stuff.  I want to keep this fairly simple at least at first and not spend a ton of money.

What sucks is a lot of the stuff is fairly cheap except the shipping is killing me and I have no place near me that sells the stuff.

So back to my question anyone have a simple recipe?  I do not have tannins, or any other chemical except my campden tablets and my Star San sanitizer.

I just want to make 5 gallons of decent wine.  It does not need to be award winning.  I will probably end up drinking it myself.  Mainly I want to learn now so next fall I can make wine from my own fruits growing in my yard.

I am thinking I will need to either buy frozen fruit, fruit juice or concentrates.

At this point I am thinking of just going to the store and checking prices and buying frozen or juice that is reasonable that does not have preservatives in it.  Then hope for the best.

 Duck my mother made wine back in the late seventies.

 All she needed was the ingrediants (God I wish I knew them)

 Some bottles ... and BALLOONS.

 She mixed up everything ... poured it into bottles and put balloons on to cap them.

 The balloons inflated and after awhile they deflated.

 Then it was good to drink.

 And man was it potent!

Christmas Foursome
Four old-timers were playing their weekly game of golf, and one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning, roll out of bed and without an argument, go directly to the golf course, meet his buddies and play a round.
His buddies all chimed in and said, "Let's do it! We'll make it a priority, figure out a way and meet here early Christmas morning."
Months later, that special morning arrives, and there they are on the golf course.
The first guy says, "Boy this game cost me a fortune! I bought my wife such a diamond ring that she can't take her eyes off it.
Number 2 guy say My wife is at home planning the cruise I gave her. She was up to her eyeballs in brochures."
Number 3 guy says "Well my wife is at home admiring her new car, reading the manual."
They all turned to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they all had lost their minds.
"I can't believe you all went to such expense for this golf game.
I woke up, slapped my wife on the butt and said, 'Well babe, Merry Christmas!
It's a great morning for either sex or golf" and she said "Take a sweater"

Well, off the top of my head, I can think  of the following places that are much superior and within a few blocks of Rainforest Cafe:

Quartino
Chicago Chop House
Mastros
Frontera Grill
Xoco
Topolobampo
Naha
Elate
Vermillion
Shaw's
Joe's Stone Crab
Mercadidto
Sunda

That's just places I can think of off the top of my head that are a short walk from where he was.  I'm sure there are many that I have missed.  And, there are hundreds of better places if you expand the circle even a little bit.  Really, that was the worst possible choice. I'd even go to the McDonalds across the street before I'd go to Rainforest Cafe.

Griz may have been feeding others, including little ones.  Honestly, you do have good taste but IIRC none of those are cheap.  Rainforest is great fun for the kids and if your feeding more than 2 you'll burn a c-note easy. The cheapest places with good food for me was Burgoffs (stop for beer on the way out) and surpise me, Jordons.  Fed four for lunch with tip(no booze) $48. I miss it everyonce in awhile, I admit.

You're right about that. Point taken.  I can see where Rainforest Cafe could look like the best choice with hungry kids in tow. I've made similar choices in order to get my kids fed.

Usually hit Hard Rock Cafe. Love the music and the food is really pretty good. Their burgers are great;huge and juicy. If I'm in the mood for chops or ribs I'll hit Carsons. For pizza,the best is Connie's on S. Archer ave. Fantastic pizza in a old factory building that's been redone. Perfect setting for some za.... Would like to hit one of Rick Bayless restaurants sometime though. He's a phenomenal chef...watch Top Chef alot with the wife.

Alright, feet back in Tennessee for a few days.  The Chicago trip was great, and even though we pinched a penny here and there we made it work.  Our family doesn't have the sophisticated palet (fortunately for us) and we did stick to the more value priced menus around... for the most part.  IWe did pull up the menu for Joe's crab one night, and when there was no prices noted we closed the page.  Figure that is how they keep the rif raf like us out of their restaurant, lol. 

So sorry to dissapoint the food and beverage critics, but we visited Giordanno's for pizza, Rainforest Cafe (and had a great time), Weber Grill (big fan of the grill myself don't use propane ever), and ... wait for it... TGIFridays.  We did drop a lot more money in the shops, and if you are into Chicago gear like I am, Chicago Sports and Novelty on Michigan Avenue near the river is the place to go and great prices.  Fansedge was also great, but not nearly as priced well, but a lot of selection.  Oh yeah, wife and future daughter in law loved Michigan avenue.  Lo$v$ed it!!

I watched the Bears game at Timothy O'tooles and it was okay.  What kind of ticked me off was that several of the bartenders were pulling for diffeent players on the Seahawks because of their fantasy teams - high fiving when Marshawn Lynch scored the first touchdown.  If I am a Chichago sports bar, in Chicago that states they are the number one Chicago Bears sports bar, then I have wait staff that only bleed Bears.  I found a nice little nook in the bar that had a view of a 47"tv unobstructed by beer taps.  20 minutes after sitting down, these two liquor girls - I don't remember what they were peddaling, set up a table right below the tv.  One of them is like 6 foot tall, ...really?  Forturnately they fill their shot glasses and walk around the bar giving away free shots.  They leave at halftime.  A little humorous story, this Packer fan lady comes up to the bar and starts complaining that the table they are sitting at should be showing the Packers game, when clearly underneath it says Rams vs whoever they played.  They oblige and change the channel and the party of 6 at the table sit there until I left at end of 3rd quarter, drinking a pitcher of cokes and a little meal.  They tied up the table over about $60 for the whole game I am sure...nice.  Well at least they got to see a good game, right?  And lastly, what is it with the mall hair?  In the late 80's/early 90's I made the trek to Tampa on occasion to see my share of games, and I was always fascinated how some of the Packer ladies still sported the doo's of the 70's.  It is almost 2011, wow, talk about stuck in time...

There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.
 

"Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.
 
"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY.   I can't stand to see a man crying."
 
"This is the worst day of my life," I say.
 
"I'm a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife with another man . . . and then my dog bit me."
 
"So . . . I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve; and then you show up and drink the whole damn thing!  .........But, Hell, enough about me, how are you doing?"

California Love story.
 
A man was lying in bed with his new girlfriend. After having great sex, she spent the next hour just rubbing his testicles.

As he was enjoying it, he turned and asked her, "Why do you love doing that?"

Because, she replied, "I Really Miss Mine".

Told you it was a California Love Story.

Gun Wisdom

Some words to Survive by.

Shooting Advice from various Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to
use it:

A. Guns have only two enemies rust and politicians.

B. It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

C. Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.

D. Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.

E. Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be
the safety clicking off.

F. The average response time of a 911 call is
23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is
1400 feet per second.

G. The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary.

H. Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun,
but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause
it'll be empty.

Note: If you're in a gun fight:

1. If you're not shooting, you should be loading.

2. If you're not loading, you should be movin',

3. If you're not movin', you are dead.

J. In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!

K. If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have
to be paranoid about?

L. You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language.

M. You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.

So my 18 year old daughter broke her collar bone racing down a steep hill in boots on a concrete sidewalk when she fell.

The doctor asked her how it happened she told him she was fighting a bear and was punching him in the face and it did not happen because she fell down.  At least she keeps her sense of humor while in pain.

That's a real painful injury, I see she was delirious... couldn't she have said she was punching a packer? The pain must have been too great!  I coached soccer several years ago and the best friend of my son suffered that injury.  Made me sick he was in so much pain, you could see the bone was displaced.  Hope for her speedy recovery...

My daughters do competitive All Star Cheer leading, as most of you know, and the youngest one broke her collor bone coming down out of one of the stunts in practice and hit the floor.  She was about 5 or 6 at the time and a huge crybaby about everything.  I told her to suck it up and get back out there to practice because she was not really physically crying more like whining that her shoulder hurt and the normal "I don't want to practice today" Biotching and moaning.

I felt bad later at the after care center when the doctor said, "Yeah.  I don't even have to do an X-Ray to see that collor bone is broken."

DOH! :o  BAD FATHER!

LOL!

I knew it was broke cause her right shoulder was way lower then her left.  That is a tell tale sign.

She was not even crying when she came home.  Well until I said, "Are you **** shitting me I have to pay $700 for the car to be fixed and now I have to pay for you to go to the emergency room?"

She started crying then and said she would suck it up and rub some dirt on it and let it heal on it's own.

My bad dad moment...

Anyway she was in a lot of pain this morning and stayed home from school.  She is going back tomorrow.  Luckily she only broke the top bone and is only in a sling so it could of been worse.  She will be fine.

We used to do stupid **** as kids.

We played Tackle Football at the Army Reserve depot.  One out of bounds was a chain link fence (visualize arena league or hockey checks) and the other side out of bounds was the paved parking lot.  We had a lot of scrapes and a few broken bones over the years but we were never smart enough to change the boundries.

Ahh yes...

Google shows the field is still there.  You can see the parking lot and the fence surrounding the Army trucks.  The tree was one endzone.  That made deep passes into that endzone hard.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v434/wmljohn/Capture.jpg)

I wonder if they still allowe the neighborhood kids to play football and baseball there.  I know we took out a lot of their windows playing baseball but they never kicked us out of there.  They just kept replacing them.

 Still threw him out at first.

 Then we moved to Chicago ... and they had the weirdest baseballs that you ever saw in your life.

 SOFTBALLS ... WTF ???

 It was all about not hitting the ball far enough to break windows.

 The passion left me and my well oiled mitt was retired at age 11.  >:(

...and in the winter.  Both endzones were up a 45 degree incline.  We had no shoes so we taped scrub brushes to our feet for cleats.  Yah, ironically we did have scrub brushes.  Our ball was a glass milk bottle so we rarely passed.  Particularly to butter fingers Grizz, also nicknamed "Gameover"  No not because of his deft moves and nose for the zone, but for letting the bottle slide through his ever greased palms and onto our frozen field.  Gameover...  ;D

Actually, I do have a pretty good story.  We had gotten onto the high school field in the dead of winter in Toledo, probably mid January.  This was 1979, and amazingly, we had been able to field about 22 players that day without the use of cell phones to round everyone up.  I remember one play where the guy had hit me pretty good, you remember the type that went a little more aggressively than the rest.  At the time I was 5'8" and about 145, and through the years I've managed to maintain my height, not bad for an old man.  We score and kick off.  One of my buddies was this neanderthal Ron Braithwaite.  He was probably 6'2" 230, and he cleans the clock of the guy that hammered me.  The guy is bleeding from the nose and the mouth.  After that, the tackles were a lot more within the rules of sandlot, so to say.  Sandlot justice.  As a smaller guy, it was always good to have a couple of big friends to have your back... :)  Good memories

 Glad you remembered that about Chicago Pistol.

 You made up the rules by where you where at.

 Yeah, one of the last ones I ever played in was at Lakewood High School in Long Beach Cal.

 No pads ... full tackle ... It was great !!

 Their QB was the QB for Long Beach State ...

 We dusted those fuuckers 44-7. Including a safety.

 We were just motorheads ... a few druggies ... and surfers.

We played our high school football team and won.  I caught the winning TD.  But they called me for offensive pass interference in a sand lot game!!!  I was the one being interfered with and still caught it.

So we handed it off on the next play and ran it in from twenty yards for the win! 

To this day our football team sucks because they play the donors kids instead of the best football players.  We proved it then and it is still true.  We are the biggest school in our area and still get out asses handed to us most games because they play the kids who have money instead of the best players.

 I think by about the end of the game we had 30+

 We scored each quarter by how much my pants leg was being ripped upped.

 When it got to my balls hanging out we called it a day.

Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA - style pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets.  A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.
Suddenly I realized, I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My wife, Diane, has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty.

I immediately call the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most difficult call of  all, “Honey,” I stammered. (I always call her “honey” in times like these.) “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”

There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard Diane’s voice. “Ken!” she barked, “I dropped you off!” Now it was my time to be  silent.   Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.” Diane retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car!”

If it is a real story then it is the most funniest thing I have read in a long long time.  You should be nominated for the 2012 dumbass of the year award.   ;D

The leader, a big burly man, got off his bike and said, "What are you doing?"
 
"I'm going to commit suicide," she said.
 
While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss a golden opportunity so he asked, "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?"
 
So she did and it was a long, deep lingering kiss. After she finished, the biker said; "Wow! That was the best kiss I've ever had. That's a real talent you're wasting. Why are you, such a beautiful young thing with such a passion for romance, even thinking of committing suicide?"
 
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."
 
The biker tossed him off the bridge!

From the WSJ:

A feminist and a social conservative try to play Cupid.
By JAMES TARANTO

advertisement
(Best of the tube tonight: We'll appear on Fox Business's "Lou Dobbs Tonight." The program starts at 7 p.m. ET, with our panel around 7:40.)
"For the first time in history, women are better educated, more ambitious and arguably more successful than men," Bill Bennett declared in a recent CNN.com column. But the good news about women is accompanied by bad news about men, which also turns out to be bad news for women. Here's Bennett's argument, which echoes (though without credit) Kay Hymowitz's recent book, "Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men Into Boys":

Now, society has rightly celebrated the ascension of one sex. We said, "You go girl," and they went. We celebrate the ascension of women but what will we do about what appears to be the very real decline of the other sex?
The data does not bode well for men. In 1970, men earned 60% of all college degrees. In 1980, the figure fell to 50%, by 2006 it was 43%. Women now surpass men in college degrees by almost three to two. Women's earnings grew 44% in real dollars from 1970 to 2007, compared with 6% growth for men. . . .
If you don't believe the numbers, just ask young women about men today. You will find them talking about prolonged adolescence and men who refuse to grow up. I've heard too many young women asking, "Where are the decent single men?"
Today's young, educated women can find jobs with relative ease. Finding a husband is a different story.

Baloney, counters Stephanie Coontz in a New York Times op-ed: "For a woman seeking a satisfying relationship as well as a secure economic future, there has never been a better time to be or become highly educated."

Coontz subtly reframes the question so as to yield a comforting answer for affluent distaff lonelyhearts. She makes a fairly persuasive case that educated women are at an advantage over uneducated ones in today's mate market. That shouldn't be surprising. As Charles Murray shows in his new book, "Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010," marriage has declined much less sharply among the educated and affluent than among the so-called working class. But it has still declined, and it can be expected to decline more absent a reversal of the trend toward greater female education and accomplishment.

The statistics Coontz marshals are less impressive than they seem. Of women who graduated college before 1900, 3 out of 4 never married. By 1950, she notes, a female college grad in her late 50s was nearly five times as likely never to have married than a nongraduate. Today, that gap has almost vanished, and there is no gap for women in their late 30s. VIEW TODAY'S FULL COLUMN

Try and take time to enjoy every minute of it Pistol.  They will grow up before you know it.  It is hard for me and my wife to believe it has been 18 years already.

Thanks, jj.  Great photography there.
For some reason that reminded me of a srory about a hot-shot fighter pilot who was giving a refueling plane pilot a hard timne as he showed off with great loops and dives and all the great maneuvers.
 
He asked the fueling plane pilot what he thought of that.
The refueling plsne pilot says "that's OK  but just watch this".  The refueler just kept flying along at ther same speed, same direction and same elevation.
After about fivr minutes the fighter pilot says "what's so great about thst?"
The refueler pilot says "Iv'e just gone to the restroom and had a cup of coffee and donut".

He seems to come to Florida a lot.  BTW...saw the Moody Blues last night in a small outdoor amphitheatre in St. Augustine.  Fantastic show but wish Ray Thomas was still with them and hadn't retired.

you're right JJ, I'm sure you are a great parent.
Influences outside the home (music, friends, etc)  have a great deal of power over kids no matter what their parents teach them.

But what about the large number of kids who have lousy parents?  Do you think rotten music, pictures and stories don't damage them?

Kids who have rotten parents tend to be more heavily influenced by friends then music.  They also have no one helping them decide who are good friends and who are bad friends.  Plus the friends tend to pick the music.  Or the music helps them find friends.  I find it hard to blame music for people acting bad.  Music tends to help more then hurt imo of course there are always exceptions. 

I was into rock, heavy metal and I believe I got more good from it then bad.  I was listening to stuff people were saying was devil influenced.  I find rap to be worthless and it does glamorize the gangster drug dealer lifestyle.  However obviously not every kid who listens to it goes down the wrong path.  Music is not the problem.  It never was.

When I say rotten parents I mean parents who do not give a **** about their kids and pay no attention to what they are doing.  There are plenty of parents that tried to steer their kids the right way but for whatever reason (mental illness, drugs, alcohol, bad luck) the kids go off the tracks.  Not every hard luck story is the parents fault.

In an episode of "Cheers," Cliff Clavin, the trivia-spouting, quirky, irksome mama's boy mailman is seated at the bar describing the buffalo theory to his buddy, Norm Peterson, the beer loving heavyweight bar stool sitting perpetual patron.

Cliff expounds his "Buffalo Theory" to Norm:

“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

I think there's a certain spirit associated with certain music. Listen to heavy metal, your adrenaline is increased, bloodflow increases and you get in a more aggressive attitude. Listen to mellow stuff, you relax and the reverse is true. Listen to rap laden with rifs about killing cops, disrespecting women, being disrespected, living the gansta lifestyle, you'll want to do those things. You aren't going to listen to crap that spouts '****' or 'B' or another other derogatory garbage and then go out and say 'yes sir' or 'yes ma'am' to your parents or others in authority. No, you'll become more what you listen to. It gets in your head.... this doesn't mean you'll take it necessarily to extremes and start gunning people down but it sure doesn't help anything when you listen to that garbage constantly!

 The only reason you have any of that in Wisconsin is because those aircraft were there.  :) ;) :D ;D

 Check out the Oshkosh fly in, in Wisconsin.

 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh (formerly The EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In) is America's largest annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts held each summer at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States.

The event is presented by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), a national/international organization based in Oshkosh. The airshow is seven days long and typically begins on the last Monday in July. The airport's control tower is the busiest control tower in the world during the gathering.

 Packy get your ass over there, take pics and post them on this site.

I don't know if you have K-marts near you but as luck would have it today me and the wife went to K-mart because she needed a table cloth and I went with her because afterwards we were going to Kroger and I wanted to pick out the steaks for tonight and I also was going to pick up some beef to make some Italian Beef for tomorrow.  Reading the recipe I posted made me hungry for it.

Anyway In K-mart I spotted a Deni meat slicer that was orginally $70 on sale for $36.  I couldn't pass it up.  So now tomorrow I will be slicing that Italian beef wafer thin.   I think I am looking forward to that more then the steak tonight...

(http://www.trbimg.com/img-4f83ceca/turbine/la-na-tt-facebook-20120409-001/600)



Facebook, the funky little social media operation that began as a way for **** Harvard guys to meet girls, has turned into an Internet juggernaut. On its way to an initial public stock offering that will probably bring in $100 billion, Facebook has decided to spend one of those millions on a tiny company with a staff of just 13 people.

That tiny company is called Instagram, purveyor of a photo sharing and enhancement application for smartphones. Instagram's app has become so popular that it has morphed into an alternative avenue for communicating with family and friends. Hardly a rival to the 845-million-user Facebook, it had still threatened to be a pest, so Facebook chose to gobble it up and make those 13 Instagram employees very, very wealthy.

Even though Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he intends to maintain Instagram as an independent unit run by the very same people who made it a hit, some Instagram fans are acting as if this is a tragedy. They liked the idea that there was a little corner of the online world where they could gather and be outside the reach of the Zuckerberg empire. It's not that Zuckerberg is a bad guy, it's just that he and his particular vision of how humanity should interact in the digital universe seems increasingly inescapable.

Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon are the masters of this new universe. Each dominates an overlapping realm of activity and enterprise on the Internet - social media, search engine, hardware design, software and online commerce. And each is now so huge that they can kill or buy most competitors and set the standards for online engagement for us all.

The good news is the folks who created and run these companies are generally trying to do useful things with their power. Still, not everyone is happy that the wild frontier of cyberspace has been tamed and divided up by such a small cadre of billionaire geniuses.

For years, personal computer owners have complained about the occasional infuriating glitches in the Microsoft operating system. Even those who admire the supple brilliance of Apple products, sometimes resent the closed world of Apple technology. Many are outraged by Google's cavalier use of other people's creative content. And the publishing world lives in mortal fear of Amazon.

Of the five giants, Facebook has fewer detractors simply because people think of it less as a business than as a cool way to contact friends. Zuckerberg and company have generally been quick to respond to complaints when they have pushed the boundaries of privacy too quickly. And, yet, they have never stopped enticing users to give up just a little more information day after day.

Now, each person's Facebook page is being revamped to appear on a timeline stretching back to birth and it is more tempting than ever to tell all to an ever-increasing number of friends. I found myself doing exactly that a few nights ago when I converted to the new Facebook format. It was simple to figure out and soon I had posted a baby picture of myself, a shot of me in college, a photo of my wife at the time we got married and pictures of my children as babies.

At first I could not quite imagine anyone being particularly interested in these scenes from my younger days, but I was wrong. Almost as soon as I posted the pictures, I got messages from friends "liking" what I had done. Facebook, of course, had instantly notified them about what I was doing.

In George Orwell's 1984, Big Brother's watchful, totalitarian eye is omnipresent. It is a terrifying story of a world without privacy. Today, we live with the Big Friend of Facebook and he seems to be a much nicer guy than Big Brother --- so nice, that nearly a billion of us show little reluctance telling him more than we probably should.

Facebook will only grow and become more pervasive. It is not hard to imagine that humans will eventually have their lives recorded from birth to death on the pages of Facebook. It is a type of immortality, I suppose. But, there will be moments when we long for a place to hide, a refuge where no one is watching what we do and no one is insistently asking to be our friend.

Fifty-year-old manure spreader - $1 (Washington, D.C.)

Date: 2012-03-16, 10:21AM MDT

Reply to: pdjfc-2834218719@sale.craigslist.org

Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked very hard. Apparently, it was pampered by various owners over the years. It does not work very often, but when it does, it can really spread the manure and sling it for amazing distances. I am hoping to retire this manure spreader next November. Nevertheless, I really do not want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer that is willing to relocate this manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade this manure spreader for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution .

Location: Oval Office -Washington, D.C.

Don't be snookered by college student 'ambassadors'

By Menachem Wecker

 


 
 
 
 
 

 


Parents of college age children beware:


JewishWorldReview.com | (USNWR) Applicants and parents may find that touring colleges in person or via virtual campus visits makes them better informed school window shoppers. But applicants may not realize how carefully colleges orchestrate and censor many of their interactions with current students both on campus and online, admissions experts say.

"Most applicants believe that any student they talk to online is giving them honest, unbiased information. They need to understand that this is not TripAdvisor, OpenTable, or Yelp," says Mark Sklarow, executive director of the Independent Educational Consultants Association , a professional organization in Fairfax, Va.

Students--often referred to as ambassadors or admissions associates--that interact with applicants are probably paid through work-study to promote the college's communications agenda, according to Sklarow. "Good information may be provided, but it is not necessarily from an independent voice," he says.

Inigral, a San Francisco-based technology company, markets its Schools App as a platform that connects prospective and current students in order to improve enrollment, retention, and graduation rates. About 60 colleges use the invite-only platform, which functions roughly like a Facebook group. But only 2 or 3 of the 60 allow prospective students to communicate on the platform with all--rather than a select few--current students, says Inigral's Chief Evangelist Michael Staton.

"Very few schools are saying, 'Well, we'll just have every current student interact with prospective students, and we will just let it be totally open,'" he says. "There is definitely a trend to be assertive and basically adapt the tour guide team."

Applicants may be unaware of students' true motivations, but they can catch on quickly, Staton says. "They're less aware than they could be, but they can also totally see through [bull----]," he says.

  Every weekday JewishWorldReview.com publishes what many in the media and Washington consider "must-reading". In addition to INSPIRING stories, HUNDREDS of columnists and cartoonists regularly appear. Sign up for the daily update. It's free. Just click here.
 
 


Bev Taylor, founder of the The Ivy Coach, a New York-based consultancy, says high school students aren't typically suspicious of student ambassadors' motives. And it may not help that schools sometimes censor student guides.

On one tour that Taylor attended, a student guide was so "brutally honest" that a couple of parents told admissions staff how refreshing it was to hear a no-spin narrative. "Next thing we knew, the tour guide was fired," Taylor says.

Although Tulane University typically advertised that chats with student ambassadors were managed by the admissions office, the New Orleans school didn't publicize that students were paid, says Greg Miller, a former tour guide and 2010 graduate. Tulane encouraged student workers to be honest, Miller says, and he often told visitors about an unpleasant experience he had with the registrar's office.

If he'd have known as an applicant that tour guides were paid, Miller says it wouldn't have changed his mind about what the person had to say. "Just the fact that I was getting to speak to a current student would have been enough for me to be convinced that it was a worthwhile opinion to hear," he says.

The 17 student bloggers who write for Massachusetts Institute of Technology's admissions website share their opinions with readers by posting the content themselves, according to Matt McGann, associate director of admissions. "Good and bad experiences are shared by the students without worry of administrative censorship," he says.

MIT makes no secret that the bloggers are paid, McGann says, and a search of the blog yields several references to salaries. "MIT was a bit concerned when they first thought about paying bloggers because it would seem like we work for admissions and are brainwashing you guys with pro-MIT propaganda," wrote then- MIT student blogger Snively in 2008. "I think through various rants and raves we've proven that we don't just spew MIT propaganda."

MIT aside, the shift from campus-based tours to multi-pronged admissions strategies that include digital outreach--such as blogs, some of which have earned the undesirable name 'flogs,' or fake blogs--can lead to applicant confusion, says John Bramlette, the founder of Bramlette Consulting, an educational consultancy in Washington, D.C.

"Back when students were simply tour guides, I think it was presumed, correctly for the most part, that they were paid, but the newer roles performed by students working in admissions offices certainly muddy the waters a bit," he says, particularly when student ambassadors don't identify themselves on social media handles. "I think Twitter is uniquely ambiguous."

At Drake University in Des Moines, student ambassadors tend to use their social media handles only for personal communications, and they know to be careful what they tweet and blog about, says Kayleigh Koester, a junior and a student ambassador.

It's clear that student ambassadors work for Drake, because all tours originate in the admissions office, Koester says, and she announces at the beginning of her tours that she works for admissions. She doesn't volunteer the fact that she's paid.

"I don't feel it necessary to make that clear," she says. "It's not the most lucrative job. You could go out there and probably, if you're a really great waitress, make a heck of a lot more tips than you do giving campus tours. You do it because you love the university, not for the money."

An elderly lady was walking on the golf course on the island of Martha's Vineyard and slipped and fell.
 
Obama who was behind her by chance promptly helped her to get up.
 
She thanked him and he answered, "It was a pleasure to help you. Don't you recognize me? I am your president. Are you going to vote for me in the next election?"
 
The elderly woman laughed and replied, "You know, I fell on my @ss, not on my head."

So I had an old cast iron sewage pipe break in my basement.  It was in bad shape and knew it would happen but have been putting it off. 

So anyway I call a plumber to give me an estimate because I want it done right and quickly.  I call guy who lives down the street and has a big company.  I figure surely they won't try and screw a guy who lives ten houses away.

WRONG!

I need 8 ft of cast iron piping replaced with PVC.  He tells me no because of this t section they have to tear out my toilet and sink in the floor above to tear out the wall and cut the pipe off there.  He wants to charge me $1600!

I ask can't you just cut it off here and avoid all of that?  He says no and gives me a bunch of BS why he can't.  Plus I notice on his shirt it says he is union but I know he is the owners son. He went home and ate lunch after giving me the BS estimate I know because I saw him go home and leave.  How does that work exactly?  Union but an owner?  Whatever I will tell everyone I know to never deal with them.

Anyway we call a few more plumbers.  The next plumber just happened to be a dad of one of my daughters friends.  I tell him the deal and he just shakes his head.  He tells me he can do exactly what I asked for $250 and it will be fine.

Sporty you will like this the name of the company that did me right is "Coventry" and they have a big cross on the side of their vans.  My wife remembered running into them at a business thing and how nice they were.

 Anybody ever dig up a main sewage line from end to end and replace it?

 JJ did. You get a trencher you ride on that goes down eight feet that starts digging.  :D

 Of course you FIRST started out with a shovel and things became DIFFICULT ...

 then your freind the plumber stopped by to toke a joint and he explained SLOPE to you ...

 this was news to you!

 Holy shiiit !! Youre not gonna dig eight feet down with a shovel!

46 - Tell me about your get together at the Embassy in Franklin.  Your post was a bit confusing.  Do/did you and other Bears fans assemble at Embassy Suites?  Funny, I am on my way to Centerville today, will probably drive right by your house.  Spring Hill is beautiful.  Never been to Legends.

Was thinking about going to the game, but was also thinking about just going to a hotel for a night in Nashville, partying at the Embassy near Vanderbilt, and then driving back home to watch game on the 60".  We went to seen the Titans/Bucs last year.  The weather was bad, cold, wet, sloppy. raw which isn't my gripe.  But I couldn't see where to park and tailgate, and I was less than impressed with the stadium after many jaunts to Raymond James and Soldier. The game day experience and vendors were several notches below those venues.

Post by: 46 on April 27, 2012, 09:58:55 am
Griz- we did, there is a sports bar in the hotel.  Titans of course got the main screens when playing.  Speaker for each table, they let you park and watch even if you just order coffee. A group of Bear fans would show, anywhere from 5-20 to watch, sometimes on the small sets, but still was ok.
When we moved I got the direct ticket for free for one year so its been since the bear gb champioship game since I've been there.  Am debating the ticket or just going to the sports bar. I'm afraid if I get into my cups anymore since the drive would be about 20 miles, I could get pulled over. The cops over here are not as easy going as the Frankln cops. As you know, lotsa money/ cw/football/stars in Franklin area.  Cool springs area where the bar is, pretty decent. Used to be 5 min. from our apts.  Great fun watchng the games there. Again, really good crowd. I didn't know so many doctor/lawyers liked foobauw. But they do.

If its the centennial I'm thinking of, its in Franklin, on Mallory + Franklin H.S. is in Franklin proper. Plus there's BGA a private school and 2 or 3 other private schools. Can't let the little darling associate with the unwashed lower orders. The Embassy I'm talking about is over by Nissan. Good luck to you and your son, hope he does well.

The Defective Parrot

A guy is browsing in a pet shop, and sees a parrot sitting on a little perch.

It doesn't have any feet or legs.

The guy says aloud, 'Jeesh, I wonder what happened to this parrot.?'

The parrot says, 'I was born this way.

I'm a defective parrot.'

'Holy crap,' the guy replies.

'You actually understood and answered me. !'

'I got every word,' says the parrot.

'I happen to be a highly intelligent, and a thoroughly educated bird'

'Oh yeah?' the guy asks.

'Then answer this, how do you hang onto your perch, without any feet.?'

'Well,' the parrot says, 'this is very embarrassing, but since you asked, I wrap my weenie around this wooden bar, like a little hook.

You can't see it, because of my feathers.'

'Wow,' says the guy.

'You really can understand, and can speak English, can't you.?'

'Actually, I speak both Spanish and English, and I can converse with reasonable competence on almost any topic, politics, religion, sports, physics, philosophy.

I'm especially good at ornithology.

You really ought to buy me, I'd be a great companion.'

The guy looks at the $200.00 price tag.

'Sorry, but I just can't afford that.'

'Pssssssst,' says the parrot, 'I'm defective, so the truth is, nobody wants me, cause I don't have any feet.

You can probably get me for $20, just make the guy an offer.!'

The guy offers $20, and walks out with the parrot.

Weeks go by.

The parrot is sensational.

He has a great sense of humor, he's interesting, he's a great pal, he understands everything, he sympathizes, and he's insightful.

The guy is delighted.

One day the guy comes home from work, and the parrot goes, 'Psssssssssssst,' and motions him over with one wing.

'I don't know if I should tell you this or not, but it's about your wife, and the UPS man.'

'What are you talking about,?' asks the guy.

'When the UPS man delivered a package today, your wife greeted him at the door, in a sheer black nightie.'

'WHAT???' the guy asks incredulously.


'THEN what happened?'

'Well, then the UPS man came into the house, and lifted up her nightie, and began petting her all over,' reported the parrot.

'NO!' he exclaims, 'and she let him.?'

'Yes.

Then he continued taking off the nightie, got down on his knees, and began to kiss her all over.'

Then the frantic guy demands, 'THEN WHAT HAPPENED.?'

DUNNO?!? I got a hard-on, and fell off my perch.!'

The strangest thing happened to me today!

I had to run to the corner store.  As I approached the entrance, I noticed a driver looking for a parking space. I flagged the driver and pointed out a parking space in the handicap area.

The driver looked puzzled. ''I'm not handicapped,'' she said.

Well, was my face red!

''Oh, sorry about that,” I said, “I saw your Obama sticker and just presumed ...''

She gave me the finger and called me some nasty names.

I had quite the eventful dog walk tonight.  First a bug the size of a golf ball comes flying directly at me.  I admit I jumped then turned and ran from it.  It was no where to be seen and I got to thinking the thing could be on my back.  I rubbed my back and shook my shirt, nothing.

So I continue to walk the dog.  A while later something either bites or stings me on the back!  I slap my back and shook my shirt again and the damn thing flys away.

I figure if alcohol is bad for the human fetus it would be bad for bug larvae also.  So just in case something is gestating in my back I will continue to drink copious amounts of beer.  You know just to be safe...

Second I saw the first lightning bug of the year.  It is only May 6th!

Then the motion lights on the back of my neghbors house come on and I see a huge skunk running towards the front of his yard.  He is in his garage unaware, getting ready to take his garbage out.  I really do not like this guy so I said nothing and hung back to watch and see if he would disturb it and get sprayed.  Didn't happen but karma is a **** so I can pretty much guarantee at some point this spring or summer me and/or my dog are going to end up getting sprayed...

FWIW:

A DC 'airport ticket agent' offers some examples of why the US is in so much trouble!

1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts ..''

Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Cape Town is in South Africa ..''
His response -- click..

3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.

He replied, 'Don't lie to me!, I looked on the map, and Florida is a very THIN state!!'' (OMG)

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''

I said, ''No.''

She said, ''But they look so close on the map'' (OMG, again!)

5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas .. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas ... When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)

6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.

I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'

He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''

After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..

8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala. who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''

I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''

10 Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''

I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola and fly on a commuter plane.

She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''

11 Mary Landrieu, La. Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.''

I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''

12 A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .''

I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''

'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.

After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere."

''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''

So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?''

The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''

Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in!

Any jump on the Facebook IPO deal? I just bought some, measly $500 worth. If it goes up to Google or Apple levels, I'd be happy. Time will tell.....not gonna get rich on it, that I do know. Heard Bono is now a 'Billionaire' now though. He bought in to the tune of $90million and is now the richest musician, passing Paul McCartney. Gotta have money to make money as they say...

AMERICA'S HUNTERS --- Pretty Amazing!
The world's largest army... America 's hunters!

I had never thought about this...

A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .

Allow me to restate that number: Over the last
several months, Wisconsin 's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.

More men under arms than in Iran .

More than France and Germany combined.

These men deployed to the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin, to hunt with
firearms, and no one was killed.

That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home safely.

Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states.

It's millions more.
The point?
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.

Hunting...

it's not just a way to fill the freezer.

It's a matter of national security.

That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.

Food for thought, when next we consider gun control.

WHO KNEW..
 
Einstein was born March 14, 1879.
He would be nearly 132 if he were alive today.   
Few people remember that he married his cousin, Elsa Lowenthal, after his first marriage failed in 1919.
At the time he stated that he was attracted to Elsa "because she was so well endowed".
He postulated that if you are attracted to women with large breasts, the attraction is even stronger if there is a DNA connection.

This came to be known as... 



 Einstein's Theory of "Relative Titty."
Oh, stop moaning! I don't write this stuff, I receive it from my warped friends and then send it on to you.

 Yeah Packy I threw this up awhile back.

 Theres 650'000'000 small arms in the world.

 100'000'000 of them are AK-47's.

 Americans own 200'000'000 small arms.

 Roughly 1/3 of all in existence.

 Which is why America's murder rate by firearms is over 10'000'000 a year.  ;D

 Anyone want a deal on a 1944 Soviet made Mosin-Nagant carbine 7.62 X 54mm with a laminated stock?

 We'll never be invaded.  :o Try us.

An elderly man was stopped by the police around 2 a.m.

And was asked where he was going at that time of night.

The man replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."

The officer then asked, "Really?

Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"

The man replied,
"That would be my wife."

A lesson in irony.

The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, is actually proud of the fact it is distributing the greatest
amount of free meals and food stamps ever.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals."
Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow
dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.

This ends today's lesson.

Packrat, speaking of irony, I always thought it ironic that the democratic party which has a lot atheist support which you know supports theories like evolution, darwinism, survival of the fittest yet they want to give free food and medicine to the "weakest" of society. Many of the same folks will volunteer and raise money for their favorite animal rescue but yet have no issue putting unborn babies to death.

It's good to be alive today!

While I was with my daughter at cheer practice yesterday our building got demolished by a tornado or microburst.  They don't know what to classify it yet.  We were inside as it caved in.  Luckily we got all the kids into the dance room that was a little more sound then the rest of the structure.

Here is what is left.  As you can see the front and back of the Gym is GONE!

Post by: packrat on July 09, 2012, 03:43:06 pm
One day a man decided to retire...




He booked himself on a Caribbean
cruise and proceeded to have the
time of his life, that is, until the ship sank.




He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.




After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore.



In disbelief, he asks,"Where did you
come from? How did you get here?"

She replies,"I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank."

"Amazing," he notes."You were really lucky to
have a row boat wash up with you."

"Oh, this thing?" explains the woman."I made
the boat out of some raw material I found
on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from a
Eucalyptus tree."

"But, where did you get the tools?"

"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman.
"On the south side of the island, a very
unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed.
I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron and I used that
to make tools and used the tools to
make the hardware."

The guy is stunned.

"Let's row over to my place," she says "and I'll give you a tour." So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man
looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat.
Before him is a long stone walk leading to a
cabin and tree house.



While the woman ties up the row boat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Please sit down."

"Would you like a drink?"
"No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed.
"I can't take another drop of coconut juice."

"Oh it's not coconut juice," winks the woman.
"I have a still. How would you like a Tropical Spritz?"




Trying to hide his continued amazement,
the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces,
"I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs."

No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism.

"This woman is amazing," he muses."What's next?"
When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing
but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of
gardenias. She then beckons for him to sit down
next to her.

"Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him,"We've both been out here for many months.
You must have been lonely. When was the
last time you played around? She stares into his eyes.

He can't believe what he's hearing."You mean..." he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes,
!

!
"You've built a Golf Course?"

I got the Cubs plate holder on the back and the Bears holder on the front.

I had a Cubs magnet for the tailgate but it got blown away in the wind along with the baseball that was back there.  They were getting old and faded anyway.

I just uploaded and album of all kinds of pictures from today's recovery...

Here are all the pictures of the day after the big storm. I want to say thanks to the Spotsylvania Sheriff's office for digging through the rubble and recovering the personal items for the kids and parents. It made their day today as you can see on some of their faces as they get their items back!

In 1977 I took a trip to Phillips, Wi to hunt beer cans.  As I approached Phillips I noticed that the trees in the entire area were lierally flatttened.  I had never and have never seen anything close to that scene  I asked the area folks what had happened and they told me a wind came through the area earler, on July 4th and leveled the entire forests in the area for  about  5 by 14 miles with that area as epicenter.

At the time little  was known about downblasts of that sort.  .

From Mark Lawrence:

The Postal Service is set to default for the first time ever, failing to make a $5.5 billion retiree health fund payment due August 1. Another payment worth about $5 billion is due in September. The mail will continue to get through, for now, but if this was an actual company lawsuits would be flying fast and furious and talk would be of bankruptcy.

Ron Paul's bill to audit the Fed now has more than half the house's members as co-sponsors, rather strongly indicating it will pass a house vote. Far less likely is that it will pass the Senate. After the election? We'll see. . .

San Bernardino, the southern CA city that just declared bankruptcy in part due to falling property taxes, is exploring a novel idea: use eminent domain to seize distressed properties. There are two clear paths for this: seize properties where no payments have been made for a long time, then condemn them or resell them at a much lower price. The other idea would be to seize properties where the owners are current on their payments, pay off the mortgage at current prices forcing a large loss on the lenders, get a new mortgage based on the current price, then sell it back to the owner at the lower price with the lower mortgage payment. San Bernardino is favoring the second approach, giving help to the people who have played by the rules; banks of course favor the first approach, take their problems off their hands. San Bernardino houses have lost almost 60% of their value in the last four years.

What is consciousness? Rocks don't have any, and therefore live strictly in the "now." A pair of asteroids about to collide have no sense of impending doom; asteroids colliding have no sense of surprise; after the collision they have no sense of pain or disappointment or change or anything being different. It takes consciousness - emotion plus memory - to give a sense of time to the universe: the ideas of past, present, future; the ability to learn from the past or to project into the future. Stockton Mayor Ann Johnston said that when she voted for the expensive pension increases that helped put her city into bankruptcy, "We didn't have projections into the future what the costs might be - I learned that you don't make decisions without looking into the future." Said Mr. Deis, the Stockton city manager, "Nobody gave thought to how it was eventually going to be paid for." So we see that Stockton city officials aren't actually conscious creatures and could have been replaced with a bunch of rocks with little difference. I doubt there is anything unusual or atypical about Stockton politicians or bureaucrats in this regard.

Next on the list to declare bankruptcy? It looks to be Compton, a city buried in south central LA. Compton's bonds are already rated as junk. But it's likely they'll survive the month of August, so perhaps another city will overtake them. Also very close is Victorville and Montebello. In Victorville not only is a bankruptcy looming, but some city officials may be facing jail time - the SEC is investigating them for fraud.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician

80,000,000.


(Yes, that's 80 million)


(B) The number of accidental gun deaths


per year, all age groups,

(C) The number of accidental deaths


per gun owner is

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

Almost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

The word of your choice will do; kraut, polock, mick.  The requirement was only that it be a racist name.  Most every group and  nationality has been called by  a racist name at some time or other.

A woman was playing golf when she took a big swing and fell over.

 
 
The party waiting behind her was a group from the White House that included President Obama.

 
 
 
Obama quickly stepped forward and helped her to her feet.
 
The woman thanked him and started to leave, when he said,
 
       "I'm President Obama and I hope you'll vote for me this November."
 
 
She laughed and quickly said...

A man boarded a plane with six kids.

After they got settled in their seats a lady sitting
across the aisle from him leaned over to him
and asked, "Are all of those kids yours?"
He replied, "No Ma'am, I work for a
Condom company.

"Even after the Super Bowl victory of the New Orleans Saints, I have noticed a large number of people implying, with bad jokes, that Cajuns aren't smart. I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment. Anybody that would build a city
5 feet below sea level in a hurricane zone and fill it with Democrats who can't swim is a genius."

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

1. Weightlifting Commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

2. Dressage Commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."

5. Softball Announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

6. Basketball Analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it.  In fact you can see it all over their faces."

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC President is hugging the cox of the British crew."

8. Soccer Commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."

9. Tennis Commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them.  Oh my God, what have I just said?"

Tonight was the first night of displays and they are UNreal! Most municipal shows only allow 6" shells in their display. These guys are using up to 12"!! And they are LOUD and unbelievable!

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO
paperwork, and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where
skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.

He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes,
attended diligently, and learned all he could. When the time of the
practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for
weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the results
came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of
150%.

Fearing an error, he called the Instructor, saying, "I don't want to
appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there
is an error in the grade?"

"The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart
perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine
back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark."
After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because
you did it all through the muffler, which I've never seen done in my
entire career".

1. The first German serviceman killed in WW II was killed by the Japanese (China, 1937). The first American serviceman killed was killed by the Russians (Finland 1940); highest ranking American killed was Lt. Gen Lesley McNair, killed by the US Army Air Corps. So much for allies.

2. The youngest US serviceman was 12 year old:  Calvin Graham, USN.  He was wounded and given a Dishonorable Discharge for lying about his age. His benefits were later restored by act of Congress.

3. At the time of Pearl Harbor, the top US Navy command was called CINCUS (pronounced 'sink us'); the shoulder patch of the US Army's 45th Infantry division was the Swastika, and Hitler's private train was named 'Amerika.'  All three were soon changed for PR purposes.

4. More US servicemen died in the Air Corps than the Marine Corps. [Actually the 8th Air Force alone suffered about 5,000 more KIA than the entire Marine Corps in WW2.]   While completing the required 30 missions, an airman's chance of being killed was 71%.

5. Generally speaking, there was no such thing as an average fighter pilot. You were either an ace or a target. For instance, Japanese Ace Hiroyoshi Nishizawa shot down over 80 planes. He died while a passenger on a cargo plane.

6. It was a common practice on fighter planes to load every 5th round with a tracer round to aid in aiming. This was a mistake. Tracers had different ballistics, so (at long range) if your tracers were hitting the target, 80% of your rounds were missing. Worse yet tracers, instantly told your enemy he was under fire and from which direction. Worst of all was the practice of loading a string of tracers at the end of the belt to tell you that you were out of ammo. This was definitely not something you wanted to tell the enemy.  Units that stopped using tracers saw their success rate nearly double and their loss rate go down.

Here's something related from 5th SF, Detachment B-52's Tips of the Trade item #32; "Tracers work both ways".

7. When allied armies reached the Rhine, the first thing men did was pee in it. This was pretty universal from the lowest private to Winston Churchill (who made a big show of it) and Gen. Patton (who had himself photographed in the act).

8. German Me-264 bombers were capable of bombing New York City, but they decided it wasn't worth the effort.

9. German submarine U-1206 was sunk by a malfunctioning toilet.

10. Among the first 'Germans' captured at Normandy were several Koreans. They had been forced to fight for the Japanese Army until they were captured by the Russians and forced to fight for the Russian Army until they were captured by the Germans and forced to fight for the German Army until they were captured by the US Army.

11. Following a massive naval bombardment, 35,000 United States and Canadian troops stormed ashore at Kiska, in the Aleutian Islands . 21 troops were killed in the assault on the island.  It could have been worse if there had been any Japanese on the island.

12. The last marine killed in WW2 was killed by a can of spam. He was on the ground as a POW in Japan when rescue flights dropping food and supplies came over, the package came apart in the air and a stray can of spam hit him and killed him.

A Navy Destroyer stops four Muslims in a row boat, rowing towards England . "The captain

gets on the loud hailer and shouts - "Ahoy, small craft, where are you heading?"

 

One of the Muslims stands up and shouts, "We are invading the UK!"

 

The crew of the Destroyer all start laughing and when the captain finally stops laughing,

he gets back on the loud hailer and says - "Just the four of you?"

 

The Muslim stands up again and shouts, "No, we're the last four. The rest are already there!"

Any "new" Wrangler owners here? (2012/13)

I've been looking at Wranglers for a LONG time.  I was excited with the "JK" series was introduced in 2007.  While I hated the plastic bumpers, I loved the fact that it was available in a 4 door.  My plan was the purchase a 2007 in 2008....after some time at an auto-show (the interior was stark), along with the poor gas mileage and high cost/re-sale value....I ended up purchasing a used 2006 Jeep Liberty in 2008 as my winter/tow vehicle.   I still own and drive my 1998, 5 speed stick, Acura Integra that I purchased new off the lot nearly 14 years ago....so between that car and my motorcycle, my Liberty ususally just sits around taking up space. (I've put about 17,000 miles on it in 4 and a half years).

Fast foward to 2011, Jeep revamps the interior of the Wrangler...and I "almost" grabbed one....but there was a rumor of a new engine coming.

Fast forward to 2012.  Jeep introduces the Pentestar 3.6, along with the new NAG1/W5a580 5 speed automatic transmission.   While the much hyped fuel economy improvements are WAY overstated, the new engine and gearing (in the autos) makes everyday driving and passing possible. 

So...I've been saving up my Jeep cash for years now and I can trade in my Libby (2006 with 36,000 miles) on a 4 Door Sport S, but.....I'm a bit concerned about having such a vehicle as an "everyday" vehicle.  I've joined several Jeep and Wrangler forums over the past year and a half for more insight.....but....there is a culture among Jeepers (especially old school Wrangler owners) that does not really translate to those of us that are not traditional Wrangler owners.   There with the new engine and interior (along with the intro of the 4 door), there is a bit of disdain for new buyers that don't plan on "wheeling" every weekend.

Does anywone have a JK? 
If so, how do you like it as an everyday vehicle (if you use it that way).

My big concern is safety and security.  Newer JK's don't have steering column locks (which is one reason why I'm getting an auto), and even with a hard top, they are not the most secure vehicle in the world.  A T-40 torx is all that is needed to remove a door.  And being that Wranglers don't have locking hoods, anyone at anytime can disconnect your battery (and alarm). 

Thanks

Panther, from my perspective, if they want it they'll take it.
Someone that wants your jeep will get it. Someone passing by needing a quick car isn't likley to have a torx40 in their pocket, I expect they are more likely to bust the window than take the door off anyway. The bad part about a rag top is if they cut it open to get something like your stereo or worse your sunglasses.

I know a guy that said they busted the window out of his blazer to steal his sunglasses off the dash. The bad part is  the door was unlocked and the keys were under the seat.

I'll have a hard-top on it most of the time.  I just prefer to not "invite" trouble.  I less worried about it getting stolen, then it simply getting "entered" and stripped.   I've learned that nothing can be left inside a Wrangler.

On one of the forums I frequent, someone posted a pics of their brand new 4 door Wrangler that had been stripped of its doors and hood in a hotel parking lot while this person was doing military training. 

I don't worry about someone stripping a Liberty because you actually have to "break" into to get into.  But a Wrangler is easy pickings.   No hood locks, just rubber straps.  Plus, the hinges for the hood and doors are on the outside of the vehicle. 

But outside of that...I wonder how "every day" driving is.   We are talking solid axles both front and rear.  Leaks? Noise? 
Jeep is trying really hard to steal some of the SUV crowd....but on the forums, that type of stuff is expected.  Yet most forums are full of Jeepers with lifts, armor, 35" wheels and who ride without a roof and doors 365 days a year.  That ain't me...

I bought my wife a Wrangler Sport in 2010 as her daily driver. However, it's a 2 door with a soft top and AT. We were going to go with a 4 door, but decided it looked too much like a baby Hummer. Today, we kinda wish we had bought the 4 door...

She likes it as an everyday, but wishes it had a power top (she had a Mustang convertible before). We also have quite a bit of "top down" days down South, which is nice. I had an '89 Wrangler years ago, and the top and doors were off more often than not.

Post by: panthermark on September 20, 2012, 05:27:00 pm
Yeah, I'm getting a 4 door with the new 5 speed auto.  As much as I would like a manual in a Jeep...I have heard only bad things about the 6 speeds that come in Wranglers.  The Wrangler "rattle", long throws, odd (high) clutch release, jumping out of gear, and a knack for killing throw-out bearings.   

Plus I want the 4 door for the higher towing capaicity....which still sucks for a vehicle with solid axles and rear wheel drive....but will do at 3500 pounds.

I'm assuming you keep it in a garage at night....but does she ever park it anywhere for long periods of time? 
For instance....a worry that I have is parking a Wrangler in an airport parking lot for a few days.  Or if I wanted to take the train into the city for jazz fest or blues fest and was stying overnight....leaving it at a Metra parking lot.     

I'm looking at a 2013 because they added an option that I don't care about...but has a usefull feature.  And auto-dimming rear-view mirror.  I could care less about the auto-dimming part, but a rear-view mirrom with a factor power supply means that I could hopefully swap mirrors and install one with homelink (with garage door opener that only works when the key is in the ignition and the vehicle is on).   I don't always park in my garage (motorycles, trailer, kegerator, and general crap take up half the room), but with a Wrangler being so unsecure, I would never leave a stand-alone garage door opener in one.  Or the lack of an available rear-hatch cover (I've found a very expensive aftermarket one).

It is that type of stuff that worries me.

Pekin,
You can save a little bit of money if you go with the kegerator conversion (instead of a pre-made kegerator).
You will save money in the long-run...but it depends on what kind, and how much beer you drink. 

Here is my old one....
A two tap unit that had limited room because it was a "medium" sized fridge.  It died...(I only payed $7.00 for it from Menards).

After moving around some shelves, I was able to get a taller and wider"regular sized" fridge in that space.
Here is the new one I'm working on ($9.00 from Menards).

Maybe...but if you wanted soda, it would probably be better to mix it with rum (if you drink).  I put rum and Coke on tap once....it was both awesome and horrible.    Awesome because pre-mixed, always cold, rum and Coke on tap is excellent.  You can pour as much as you want at any time without worrying about spilling from pouring, and it is always cold so you never worry about ice never watering it down. 

It was horrible for all of the same reasons....and it was WAY TOO EASY to get really drunk.

Ended up with an older woman at a bar last night.
She looked pretty good for a 60-year-old.
In fact, she wasn't too bad at all, and I found myself thinking
she probably had a really hot daughter.
We drank a couple of beers,
and she asked if I'd ever had a Sportsman's Double?
'What's that? I asked.
'It's a mother and daughter threesome,' she said.
As my mind began to embrace the idea,
I wondered what her daughter might look like,
I said, 'No, I haven't.'
We drank a bit more, then she said with a wink,
‘tonight’s your lucky night’.
We went back to her place.
We walked in.
She put on the hall light and shouted upstairs:
'Mom, you still awake?'

Check this site out if you are looking for a jersey and only want to pay $20.  A guy at work bought one and it was pretty nice.  It looked like the real deal except the NFL logo on the neck was made out of a plastic material instead of cloth.  He said it took him a couple weeks to get it though.  He ordered the NFL Elite line so I can't speak for the other lines.

A guy was telling his buddy, you won't believe what happened last night...

My daughter walked into the living room and said "Dad, cancel my

allowance immediately, forget the college tuition, rent my room out,

throw all my clothes out the window; take my TV, and my laptop.

Please take any of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Cash Converters.

Then sell my car, take my front door key away from me and throw me out

of the house.

Then disown me and never talk to me again.

And don't forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to

any one that wants it."

"Holy ****", replied the friend, "she actually said that?"

Well, she didn't put it quite like that, she actually said...

"Dad, meet my new boyfriend - Mohammed.  We're going to work together

on President Obama's reelection campaign."

Home schooling does have its merits. I was eating breakfast with my 10-year-old granddaughter and I asked her, "What day is tomorrow?"

She said. "It's President's Day!"

She's a smart kid, so, I asked, "What does President's Day mean?"

I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln, etc., but she replied, "President's Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House and if he sees his shadow we have 4 more years of bull ****."

Cosby "I'm 83 and Tired"

.


"I'm 83 and I'm Tired"

I'm 83. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National

Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some serious

health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly

40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my

income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as

though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who

don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take

the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy

to earn it.

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I

can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and

daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight

offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't

"believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning

teenage **** victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the

genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and

Shari'a law tells them to.

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let

Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques

and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand ,

UK, America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to

fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other

Arab country to teach love and tolerance..

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global

warming, which no one is allowed to debate.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help

support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ

rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses

or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all

parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful

mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting

caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and

actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination

or big-whatever for their problems.

I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and

early 20's be-deck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making

themselves un-employable and claiming money from the Government.

Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 83.. Because, mostly, I'm not

going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for

my granddaughter and their children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not

on the way in.

This past Friday, I got to enjoy the priveleges of turning 50 this past April.  No, not the complimentary coffee, or the AARP card that comes every few weeks, but the obligatory free colonoscopy - what a perk!

My wife is already a little steamed at me, because for our 26 years of marriage she has been on me to exercise and eat well.  Truth be told, she has probably prevented me from being more overweight than I am.  I went for my physical, and had blood work done.  Perfect cholesterol, and everything where it should be.  My doctor doesn't believe in the finger check for prostate exam, and I don't mind that little unpleasantry not occurring.  Nor does he check me for a hernia.  Thanks again.  So I do eat poorly, like to deep fry everything with legs, and generally stay away from all food choices without some brown in them.  So she is steamed that my blood work comes back perfect.  Like she is counting the insurance money already from my passing.

So I go for the colonoscopy.  My dad has divriticulitis and so I am expecting something to show up on my exam.  Clean bill again, a couple of hemmoroids but overall clean as a whistle.  I joke to my wife that the doctor's say, whatever you are doing, keep it up! 

I think I will, starting in a few hours...

Brown on the menu?  Oh yes, will be doing some crock pot ribs and Murphys stout, and puff a nice brown cigar...  Life is good.  And hopefully better at 3pm, with a victory.  My saying at work is, "My mood on Monday, is determined by my Bears on Sunday"  Bear down!!

Post by: Grizzlybear34 on November 04, 2012, 06:29:12 am
Rib recipe that turned out great.  A few years ago there was a poster named Greenwithenvy who I know many of you remember.  He seemed to have some culinary experience and I borrowed his rib recipe on seasoning and baking ribs in the oven on 300 heat, wrapped in foil for one hour, and then on the grill to brown and coat them with sauce.

A few weeks ago, I came across a crockpot recipe that basically replaced the oven - you still use the grill to finish them.  The meat was perfect and fell off the bone, and I used spare ribs not baby back - though I am sure baby back would work.

So I'll share. 

The night before, I take about 4 - 5 pounds of ribs and cut into portions small enough to fit into our crockpot which is about 3 to 4 bones across.  I take a bottle of barbeque sauce and a can of beer, and pour them into a ziploc with the ribs to marinade overnight.

The next morning, I take the ribs out and dry rub them with seasoning and brown sugar.  Choose your seasoning of choice I like the Chipolte BBQ rub from Buffalo Wild Wings.  Spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray, and then cut an onion and a clove of garlic and place in the bottom of the crockpot.  Place the ribs on top of the onions and garlic, and set the crockpot to low.  The recipe called for 8 hours, I think I could have gotten by with 7.5 because they were already coming apart pulling them out of the crockpot.  At the 4 hour mark of crockpottery,  I rotated them so that the ones that were on top were on the bottom, and vice versa.  Then at 8 hours, onto the grill for some browning and sauce, then on to the table.

Very important.  I was skeptical about placing meat and no liquids in the crockpot.  I was tempted to put some beer and sauce in the pot along with the ribs.  But the recipe specifically said do not add liquid.  It boils the meat and it doesn't turn out as well.  Onions, garlic, ribs - that is it.

Ribs are on the menu today, along with some baked beans and brocalli slaw.  And some Murphy's...

Remember Greenjeans! Where'd he ever go?

Been there already, done that with the Colon. 5 years ago in fact and I'm just now turning 48. Good thing I did though as they found a couple polyps that could have turned out bad. I gotta get back in there again soon although the prep.....oh god the prep....how I made it through that nightmare....ugh. Heck the procedure is NOTHING! The PREP SUCKS!!....Badly!....

Those ribs sound good and that's my fav wings rub, that Chipotle BBQ. Get it at BW's and Quaker Steak and Lube. GOOD stuff! We've tried ribs in the crock but the wife put BBQ sauce in it and yea, it's not good to add sauce. Nope. Might have to try your recipe though, go the dry route. How do you 'finish em' on the grill when they're falling off the bone already?

Post by: Grizzlybear34 on November 04, 2012, 07:11:32 am
I was just careful with the handling.  I think I am going to try 7 hours on low to see if they have a little fight left in them, because I really want to have them on the grill longer than I did last time.

Yes, the prep was the worst part.  There was nothing left in me.  I didn't do the entire 2nd bottle, it was like what's the point?  They gave me a list of clear liquids which included ginger ale, coke, etc.  I asked what about beer?  They said no.  I went online and found out that it is really dependant on the doctor's office.  Some say it is okay to have a glass of white wine or beer.  I had beer, I couldn't eat the entire day before so I had beer.

Looking for a good pulled pork recipe. Have tried the crockpot and it's ok but the pork ends up sitting in the grease and that's not good. Emptying out some of the grease partway through is a pain in the azz. Defeats the whole point of the crockpot.

You can put something in the bottom of the crock pot to keep the pork shoulder out of the grease.  Simplest thing I can think of is balled up tinfoil or even whole onions.  You would still have to drain if the meat falls apart though.

I have a black lab/retriever mix named Payton.  This dog is always hungry and eats tissues and paper towels.

Either me or my youngest daughter normally walk her but this morning my wife fed and walked her.  She takes her out and is gone for a LONG time.

I hear a knock on the door.  I answer it and it is my wife who says I need to come out and deal with the dog.  Apparently the dog **** and when she was done she had three inches of ****ty paper towel hanging out of her ass!

I told my wife get a stick.  A STICK!

She says she has already tried that and it is my job to deal with it.  I grab a stick and try but she is right it is not budging.

I tell her she needs to use two sticks like chop sticks.  She says ok but take her to the back yard because she does not want our neighbors watching her do this.

We walk the dog to the back yard and she trys the two sticks with no luck.  I tell her she need to put on rubber gloves and just pull it out which of course she says that is my job.  After we get done laughing so hard our sides hurt and can barely breath she decides she is going to use plyers.  She comes out of the garage with plyers covered in a rubber glove.

After many failed attempts she gets a hold of the paper towel and pulls it out of the dogs ass.  When she pulls the paper towel out it brings another paper towel out and breaks off like a paper towel dispenser!

At this point we are both laughing so hard we have tears running down our faces!

I am laughing out loud typing this!  Good times!

we had a few pitbulls growing up, they were sweethearts. It is all about how you raise them.
They were a little rough though when you played with them. You get them tugging on a rope and they would about jerk your shoulders out of socket.

with ours, you could tell they weren't smart dogs. They are also reported to have poor eyesite.
Many of the attacks I have read about were when a kid fell on them while they were sleeping and the pit went into self-defense mode.

I wouldn't want them around small kids, they could hurt them just playing.

Funny you say that Keys. Last night the wife took our 'Lousiana Catahoula Leopard Dog', yea I'd never heard of em before either...to a local supposedly "excellent" woman who watches dogs. She has a pit bull, something we did not know at the time. Our dog and that friggin monster that weighed 120lbs got into a small fight and he was on top of our dog menacingly. Thankfully the owner got a muzzle on it so nothing came of it, but her response was 'I don't know what got into him, he never does that.' Yea....even the owners of these suckers don't know the demeanor of their own dog. Much like trying to keep a tiger. 'Oh, she's SUCH a sweetheart!' until she ripped the arm off the mailman, that is.... Don't want anything to do with em, thanks....

120lb pit? both of ours were like 40lbs but ripped.  If they would have been 120lbs, you wouldn't have been able to keep them contained they were so strong.

the one we had the longest, if he started putting on a little weight, he would cut back on his eating.

There is nothing wrong with Pitbulls. We had a poodle growing up which was meaner than this dog I have.

All he does is wag his tail and lick people. Sits and shakes hands on command and loves to run and play and gets his butt kicked by two cats on a regular basis.

And of course they are rough, they are strong and great protection dogs. Police even use them these days.

There is a St. Bernard that lives two doors down and knocked over their chain link fence the other day when mine was outside and tried jumping over our fence. My dog just was sitting at the fence looking at him like he was type of moron. Never even barked back. Just looked at me and wagged his tail.

Yes, they have killed people and will again like any other dog can like a Huskey, Lab, German Shepard, Rottweiler, etc. . But so does McDonalds, booze, smoking, and Cubs baseball.

120 pound Pitbull? That's nearly impossible since their average weight is  35-65 lbs and usually mostly muscle.

That wasn't a full blooded pit. It had to be several mixes.

A guy and a girl meet at a bar……


They get along so well that they decide to go to the girl's place.
A few drinks later, the guy takes off his shirt and then washes his hands.
He then takes off his trousers and again washes his hands.  The girl has
been watching him and says:
"You must be a dentist."
The guy, surprised, says:"Yes .... How did you figure that out?  "Easy.."
she replies, "you keep washing your hands."  One thing leads to another and
they make love.
After it's over the girl says: "You must be a good dentist."
The guy, now with an inflated ego, says:
"Sure - I'm a good dentist. How did you figure that out?"
The girl replies:....
"I didn't feel a thing."

A clearly inebriated woman, stark naked, jumped into a taxicab in New York City and laid down in the back seat. 
 
The cab driver, an old Jewish gentleman, opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman.
He made no attempt to start the cab.

The woman glared back at him and said, "What's wrong with you, honey? Haven't you ever seen a naked woman before?"

The old Jewish driver answered, "Let me tell you sumsing, lady, I vasn't staring at you like you tink; det vould not be proper vair I come from."

The drunk woman giggled and responded, "Well, if you're not staring at my boobs or
my @ss sweetie, what are you looking at then?"

He paused a moment and then said, “Vell, Ma'am, I am looking and I am looking and it's vat I don't see dat vorries me.  I am tinking to myself, 'Vair in da hell is dis naked lady keeping da money to pay for dis ride?”

Starting the day out with a couple cups of coffee, and the smell of chex mix roasting in the oven!  Yes, looking at the side of the box you can microwave it, but the baking is better.  If I wanted it microwaved I'll just go to the grocery and pick up a bag in the aisle.

Ready for some football and no belt!

Not here....will not drop below $3.25. It gets to that point and then shoots back up 30/40c, then trickles down...then shoots back up...then trickles down. Been doing this now for about two months. About every week, week and a half it does this. There's no rhyme or reason to it. On Gas Buddy the consensus is it's Speedway causing the price fluctuations in our area. Speedway is the first to skyrocket, here is what one poster said:

                 Speedway Headquarters in Enon Ohio will be notified of wholesale price increase from refineries and Marathon headquarters. Speedway then e-mails or other computer generator instant messaging to 1500 Speedways, a handful of Rich Cigarette stands and what's left of Gas America.

Then other large chains such as Meijer, Murphy/USA, Kroger, Atlas Oil (many Phillips 66) and others chains get notified of wholesale increases by OPIS (Oil Price Information service) via e-mail, instant messaging or other computer generated service. Other owner/operators of independent gas stations may just look out the window and raise their price immediately with Speedway.

Needless to say, I don't shop at Speedways anymore....

A new world.

Dear Santa,
How are you? How is Mrs. Claus? I hope everyone, from the
reindeer to the elves, is fine. I have been a very good boy this year. I
would like an X-Box 360 with Call of Duty IV and an iPhone 4 for
Christmas. I hope you remember that come Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas,
Timmy Jones
* *
 
Dear Timmy,
Thank you for you letter. Mrs. Claus, the reindeer and the elves are all
fine and thank you for asking about them. Santa is a little worried all the
time you spend playing video games and texting. Santa wouldn’t want you to
get fat. Since you have indeed been a good boy, I think I’ll bring you
something you can go outside and play with.*
Merry Christmas,*
Santa Claus***
* *
Mr. Claus,
Seeing that I have fulfilled the “naughty vs. Nice” contract,
set by you I might add, I feel confident that you can see your way clear to
granting me what I have asked for. I certainly wouldn’t want to turn this
joyous season into one of litigation. Also, don’t you think that a jibe at
my weight coming from an overweight man who goes out once a year is a bit
trite?
Respectfully,
Tim Jones
* *
 
Mr. Jones,
While I have acknowledged you have met the “nice” criteria,
need I remind you that your Christmas list is a request and in no way is it
a guarantee of services provided. Should you wish to pursue legal action,
well that is your right. Please know, however, that my attorney’s have been
on retainer ever since the Burgermeister Meisterburger incident and will be
more than happy to take you on in open court. Additionally, the exercise I
alluded to will not only improve your health, but also improve your social
skills and potentially help clear up a complexion that looks like the
bottom of the Burger King fry bin most days.
Very Truly Yours,
S Claus
* *
 
Now look here Fat Man,
I told you what I want and I expect you to bring it. I was
attempting to be polite about this but you brought my looks and my friends
into this. Now you just be disrespecting me. I’m about to tweet my boys
and we’re gonna be waiting for your fat ass and I’m taking my game console,
my game, my phone, and whatever else I want. WHAT EVER I WANT, MAN!
T-Bone
* *
 
Listen Pizza Face,
Seriously??? You think a dude that breaks into every house in the world on
one night and never gets caught sweats a skinny G-banger wannabe? “He sees
you when you’re sleeping; He knows when you’re awake”. Sound familiar,
genius? You know what kind of resources I have at my disposal. I got your
**** wired, Jack. I go all around the world and see ways to hurt people
that if I described them right now, you’d throw up your Totino’s pizza roll
all over the carpet of your mom’s basement. You’re not getting what you
asked for, but I’m still stopping by your crib to stomp a mud hole in
you’re ass and then walk it dry. Chew on that, Petunia.
S Clizzy

Dear Santa,
Bring me whatever you see fit. I’ll appreciate anything.
Timmy

Evidently the guy did mom first and then went to the school. shot her in the face.  Simpy sickening.  This of course, will be turned into a firestorm political talking point.  Leave the poor parents alone.  If your going to do something horrible, your going to do it regardless of how many stupid laws there are. already people shreiking for more gun control. Ok.  Good luck with getting the ones already out there back.  You can make all the laws in the world and it won't matter. Simply can't enforce it.  Hell, can't enforce the ones that are there now.

A KNOCK AT MY DOOR
 
There was a knock on the door this Saturday morning.
I opened it to find well-dressed young man standing there who said,
"Hello sir, I'm a Jehovah's Witness."
 
So I said, "Come in and sit down."
I offered him a fresh cup of coffee and asked
"What do you want to talk about?"
 
He said: "Beats the **** out of me!
Nobody ever let me in before."

George Carlin's wife died early in 2008 and George followed her, dying
in July 2008. It is ironic George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's
- could write something so very eloquent and so very appropriate. An
observation by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet
more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too
tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too
much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to
life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but
have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered
outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not
better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the
atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan
more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We
build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies
than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days
of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These
are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the
showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can
bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share
this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because
that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes
from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person
will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the
precious thoughts in your mind.

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin

You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Two reasons: First of all, I think he's a good actor, okay? To me, that counts. Second, he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't **** around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with.
 
For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog, Joe Pesci straightened that **** out with one visit. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat. </i

An elderly golfer comes in after a good round of golf at the new course and heads straight to the bar/restaurant area of the club house.

As he passes through the swinging doors, he spots a sign hanging over the bar that reads:

COLD BEER: $5.00
HAMBURGER: $10.00
CHEESEBURGER: $15.50
CHICKEN SANDWICH : $18.50
HAND JOB: $250.00

Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary money, the old golfer walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled golfers.
                                                         

She glides down behind the bar to the old golfer.

“Yes?” she inquires with a wide, knowing smile. “May I help you sir?”

The old golfer leans over the bar and whispers, “I was wondering young lady, are you the one who gives the hand-jobs around here?”

She looks into his wrinkled eyes and with a wide smile purrs, “Yes sir, I sure am.”

The old golfer leans in even closer and into her left ear says softly, “Well then, be sure to wash your hands real good, because I want a cheeseburger.”

So, I broke the window, stole the radio, shot out two of the tires and left a note that read,

A guy stopped at a local gas station and after filling his tank he paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his cola and watched a couple of men working along the roadside. One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along behind him and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole the other was 25 feet behind filling in the hole.
 
The men worked right past the guy with the soft drink and went on down the road.
 
"I can't stand this," said the man tossing the can into a trash container and heading down the road toward the men.
 
"Hold it, hold it," he said to the men. "Can you tell me what's going on here with all this digging and refilling?" 
 
"Well, we work for the government and we're just doing our job," one of the men said.
 
"But one of you digs a hole and the other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting the taxpayers' money?"   
 
"You don't understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us: me, Elmer and Leroy. I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree and Leroy here puts the dirt back. Elmer's job's been cut so now it's just me an' Leroy."

Obama was asleep in the white house and awoke to see Washington's ghost. He asked, "George, how can I make this country better?" Washington said, "Be honest with the people like I was."
Obama went back to sleep and awoke again this time to Thomas Jefferson and asked, "Tom, how can I make this country better?" Jefferson said, "Love the constitution like I did."
Again Obama fell asleep and awoke this time to Lincoln and asked, "Abe, how can I make this country better?" Lincoln replied, "Go see a play

  There was a bit of confusion when I went to McDonalds for breakfast this morning.

When I was ready to pay for my food, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."

Making a mental note, to complain to my local member of Congress, about Security running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

When the hysterical shrieking had finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my MasterCard.

I have been asked to eat elsewhere in the future.
They need to make their instructions to us Seniors a little clearer!

'I Think You're The Father of One of My Kids....'
  A guy goes to the  supermarket and notice a very attractive woman waving  at him.
  She says, 'Hello.'
 
  He's rather taken aback because he can't place where he knows her from. So  he asks, 'Do you know  me?'
  To which she replies, 'I think you're the father of one of my kids.'
  Now his mind  travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife.
  So he asks, 'Are  you the stripper from the bachelor party that I made love  to on the pool table, with all my buddies watching, while  your partner whipped my butt with wet  celery?'
  She looks into his  eyes and says calmly, 'No, I'm your son's  teacher.'

The Green Bay Packers are urging fans to stand behind a cheerleader who was targeted on a Chicago Bears Facebook fan page.

As a University of Wisconsin-Green Bay student, Kaitlyn Collins has previously cheered for the Packers. The Packers use cheerleaders from UWGB and St. Norbert College on the sidelines at their games.


Early Monday evening, the Chicago Bears Fan page on Facebook posted a photo of Collins with this note: “Like If You Agree The Packers Have The Worst Cheerleaders In The NFL!”


When Collins learned of the post, she wrote on Facebook: “Wow. Being bullied via Facebook. I may not look like a super model, but to call me ugly …”


Collins created a YouTube video in which she silently held up signs explaining the situation and asked for help in getting the photo taken down. She also urged viewers to fight cyberbullying.

Collins told a Green Bay television station that a lot of the comments were very hurtful. She and her friends contacted Facebook to have the post removed.


Her photo was removed from the Chicago Bears Fan page at mid-afternoon Thursday. A new post read: “The picture of the Green Bay Cheerleader has been removed. For everyone on this page. We do not condone or encourage bullying. We would like to ask that you keep it classy. We understand you are hard core fans, but there's no need for bullying. We apologize for any hard feelings and encourage everyone to keep this page as a fun experience.”

The Packers issued a statement calling the online commentary “extremely offensive,” expressed support for Collins and urged others to do the same.


As if every girl in Chicago is a ravign beauty.  Rivalries are fine but this is childish.

That is sad.  When I think about things like that think about the song, "Just the two of us" - Will Smith version

Throughout life people will make you mad
Disrespect you and treat you bad
Let God deal with the things they do (things they do)
Cause hate in your heart will consume you too

Whether you believe in God or not, keep the hate out of your heart and know that the one's doing the hating are also hurting probably worse than the insults they hurl

One night a man and a woman were watching television and eating peanuts.  He was tossing them in the air and catching them with his mouth.  In the middle of catching one, the wife asked him a question. He turned his head and the peanut fell straight in his ear. They tried and tried to get it out but it just kept going in deeper. They started to grow worried, so they decided to go to the hospital.  On the way out the door, their daughter came home with her boyfriend.
 
Boyfriend: Oh, don't worry about that sir. I can probably get that out. I'm gonna shove two fingers up your nose, and you're gonna have to blow real hard. And the peanut should shoot straight out your ear.
 
So the father did as the young man said. And the peanut flew straight out his ear. The mom and daughter are cheering for joy.
 
Mother: That's a smart boy. Real clever. What do you think he's gonna be when he grows up?
 
Father: From the smell of his fingers, our son-in-law.

Since most conservative Mennonite and Amish churches sing only acapella hymns in their churches, it is not surprising to find that there are numerous Mennonite and Amish acapella choirs, quartets, and family singing groups. Most of these groups sing in simple four-part harmony.

 

Altar of Praise Chorale is a mixed acapella group, comprised of some of the best male and female singers in the conservative Anabaptist world. Members of the group come from various Anabaptist backgrounds: Beachy Amish, Mennonite, and Charity Christian Fellowship.

 

Acapella Hymn

"WHO AM I?"

I believe that there was a rule that home  games could be blacked out up to 50 miles from home, jj.  I don't remember the exact rule because it never affected me since I was always over 50 miles from GB.  GB has always been sold out since 1958 (maybe longer).

I was sitting out in my lanai yesterday having an ice cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking on various topics.

Finally I thought about an age old question:

Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful
than a guy getting kicked in the nuts. Well, after another beer and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.
Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby
and here is the reason for my conclusion;

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "it might be nice to have another child."

On the other hand, you will never ever hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I rest my case. Time for another beer..............

 Welcome to the new digital bookcase, where traditional ink-and-paper textbooks have given way to iPads and book bags are getting lighter. Publishers update students' books almost instantly with the latest events or research. Schools are increasingly looking to the hand-held tablets as a way to sustain students' interest, reward their achievements and, in some cases, actually keep per-student costs down.

"We must use technology to empower teachers and improve the way students learn," said Joel Klein, a former New York City school chief who now leads News Corp.'s education tablet program. "At its best, education technology will change the face of education by helping teachers manage the classroom and personalize instruction."

News Corp. officials planned to debut their Amplify tablet during a breakfast Wednesday at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas. Priced at $299, the 10-inch unit runs on a school's wireless Internet system and comes with software for teachers to watch each student's activities, offer instant polls and provide anonymous quizzes to gauge student understanding.

Orders placed by June 30 will be ready for the start of the school year in the fall, officials at Rupert Murdoch's company said before the official announcement, adding yet another platform for schools to consider.

Putting a device in every student's hand is not a pie-in-the-sky dream. About 2,000 schools already have teamed up with Google to use its lightweight Chromebooks, which start at $199. About 20 million students and teachers already are using them, company officials said.

__________________________________________________________________________________

 3-D printing has already changed the game for manufacturing specialized products such as medical devices, but the real revolution will come when designers start to rethink the shapes of objects.

3-D printing removes the limitations of the manufacturing process from the equation, which means whatever can be designed on a computer can be turned into an object, 3-D printing specialists say.

To really start using the technology to its full potential, designers and engineers need to imagine new products.

"You are almost unlimited as to the type of geometric complexity," said Terry Wohlers, an independent analyst who advises companies on the 3-D printing sector.

FOLDING CHAIRS, GUNS, AND MOON HOUSES

Belgium-based company Materialise, a pioneer in the process, has a display of a foldable chair printed from one continuous piece of plastic, made with the hinges already joined together, for example.

"You can do shapes and forms that otherwise would be very expensive to do with traditional manufacturing, or would require many parts that then are later assembled," Wohlers said.

The 3-D process has been used to build prototypes for 25 years, but only now is making its way into regular production. Companies such as General Electric Co. plan to use 3-D printing to build lightweight aircraft parts, while dentists use it to create crowns in the space of an hour rather than two weeks.

3-D printers have made working guns, and are being tested to see if they can make houses on the moon using lunar soil. Scientists hope they may one day print human organs after researchers successfully printed tissue using human stem cells.

 The world's first computer to play music was CSIRAC, which was designed and built by Trevor Pearcey and Maston Beard.

 Mathematician Geoff Hill programmed the CSIRAC to play popular musical melodies from the very early 1950s.
 
 In 1951 it publicly played the Colonel Bogey March, of which no known recordings exist.

 However, CSIRAC played standard repertoire and was not used to extend musical thinking or composition practice.
 
 CSIRAC was never recorded, but the music played was accurately reconstructed. The oldest known recordings of computer generated music were played by the Ferranti Mark 1 computer, a commercial version of the Baby Machine from the University of Manchester in the autumn of 1951. The music program was written by Christopher Strachey.

From Mark Lawrence:

The EU commissioned a large wealth survey a few years ago, and the results are coming out. They're very inconvenient. Italy has a huge debt which many think unmanageable while Germany has a much smaller debt; however Italians have twice the personal wealth of Germans, and Italian personal wealth has been growing faster than German personal wealth. Such a result, if widely published, would lead Germans to ask why their taxes must go up to bail out people wealthier than them. Well, I heard about it, it seems all too likely that Europeans will too soon enough.

China recently passed a new set of taxes designed to cool off their property market, which tax heavily on second homes - 20%. The result: a record number of divorces last month in China as this avoids the tax on a second home.

Monday will mark the start of S.Korea and the US holding war games, as they always do this time of year. It also marks N.Korea threatening all out war if the games go on. In recent years N.Korea has sunken a couple of S.Korean naval ships and shelled a S.Korean island killing several civilians. N.Korea says if the games go on this year the armistice is over the two countries will be at war. A North Korea unnamed foreign ministry spokesman said they would be entitled to take military action as of March 11 when U.S.-South Korea military drills move into a full-scale phase as it had declared the truce invalid. "Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to preemptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest." Some form of trouble seems inevitable.

Venezuela's president Chavez died after a two year battle with cancer. The new president immediately accused the US of a conspiracy and expelled one of our diplomats.

For years the US was the world's largest importer of oil. That's about to change - our oil imports have cut in half in the last six years; meanwhile China's oil imports are climbing. It's very difficult for me to see how China's 9% growth rate can be sustained in the face of $100 / barrel oil imports.

Argentina has announced price controls on basic foods. Historically this has always resulted in food imports drying up and store shelves emptying out. Argentina's currency is pegged to the dollar, but the unofficial currency market is now pricing dollars at a 54% premium. Argentina won't last much longer before they default, again.

Death Spiral: Maine, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexico, California and Hawaii now have more residents on some form of welfare than they have employed taxpayers. Or to put it another way, these states have more people voting for a living than working for a living.

Engineering news: British researchers have announced a portable concrete tent kit. You place it where you want a building, hook up a leaf blower to inflate it, spray water all over it, and the next day you have a 400 - 600 sq. ft. permanent concrete building. Have a look. Dig a 5' deep hole, build one of these in it, then cover it with dirt and grass and you have a great end-of-the-world shelter.

Culture: After a couple years reading non-fiction, I started reading some new science fiction to take a break. It's been interesting. It's curious how the literature follows the mood of our culture - in the 60's and '70's sci-fi was all about a future of limitless exploration of the galaxy, meeting and interacting with other intelligent life, a follow on to the excitement of the Apollo missions. Think Star Trek. In the 90's there was a sense of a developing internet and artificial intelligence that would change everything, with the line between human and machine intelligence blurring in the future. Think Blade Runner. Today there's an apocalyptic undercurrent - we all know deep in our bones that water, oil, arable land are running out and there will be big changes coming to the world, unwelcome changes that will cost us lives, freedom, prosperity. A lot of what I've been reading is a mix of 1984, updated to reflect an intrusive electronic world that Orwell could never have imagined, and the Matrix, where what you think you know and what's really going on perhaps have little to do with each other. People have a sense that change is incremental: tomorrow will be almost exactly like today, next year phones and computers will be a bit thinner and faster, but most everything else will be the same. But we all have a sense that perhaps one day we'll wake up to a new reality where freedom is limited and food and energy are rationed. A fall into some sort of high-tech dark ages. What does it mean? I think no one can successfully forecast such a fall in civilization, but the idea that world growth in population and wealth can continue unchecked is simply wrong. The world simply cannot support twelve billion people, nor three billion more people who have raised their standard of living to European / American levels of consumption. Books I've recently enjoyed: Lucifer's Pocket and The Phoenix Project. Movies I've recently enjoyed: Runaway Slave and Atlas Shrugged part II. Runaway Slave is a movie by and about blacks who wonder how it is that it's nearly impossible for a black to be a conservative or a republican, and who say that President Johnson's Great Society has broken up the black family seemingly irreparably, all but destroyed black culture, and made blacks slaves to a liberal government and its welfare largess. All are available at Amazon.

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, "Hello."
 
“Mrs. Sanders, please."
 
“Speaking."
 
“Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When your husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders arrived as well. We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either way, the results are not too good."
 
“What do you mean?", Mrs. Sanders asks nervously.
 
"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for HIV(AIDS). We can't tell which is which."
 
“That's dreadful! Can you do the test again?", questioned Mrs. Sanders.
 
"Normally we can, but Obama care will only pay for these expensive tests one time."
 
“Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
 
“The folks at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."

THE $2.00 BILL I TRIED TO SPEND:

IF YOU'RE AS OLD AS I AM, THIS IS A RIOT!

Everyone should start carrying $2 bills! I'm STILL laughing!!

I think we need to quit saving our $2 bills and bring them out in public. The younger generation doesn't even know they exist!

STORY: On my way home from work, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. I have a $50 bill and a $2 bill. I figure with the $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about irritating anyone for trying to break a $50 bill.

Me: 'Hi, I'd like one seven-layer burrito please, to go.'


Server: 'That'll be $1.04. Eat in?'

Me: 'No, it's to go.' At this point, I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny.

Server: 'Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back.'


He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within my earshot. The following conversation occurs between the two of them:

Server: 'Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?'
Manager: 'No. A what?'
Server: 'A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me...'
Manager: 'Ask for something else. There's no such thing as a $2 bill.'
Server: 'Yeah, thought so.'

He comes back to me and says, 'We don't take these. Do you have anything else?'

Me: 'Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?
Server: 'I don't know.'
Me: 'See here where it says legal tender?'
Server: 'Yeah.'
Me: 'So, why won't you take it?'
Server: 'Well, hang on a sec.'

He goes back to his manager, who has been watching me like I'm a shoplifter, and says to him, 'He says I have to take it.'

Manager: 'Doesn't he have anything else?'
Server: 'Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and get change.
Manager: 'I'm not opening the safe with him in here.'
Server: 'What should I do?'
Manager: 'Tell him to come back later when he has real money.'
Server: 'I can't tell him that! You tell him.'
Manager: 'Just tell him.'
Server: 'No way! This is weird. I'm going in back.

The manager approaches me and says,
'I'm sorry, but we don't take big bills this time of night.'

Me: 'It's only seven o'clock! Well then, here's a two dollar bill.'
Manager: 'We don't take those, either.'
Me: 'Why not?'
Manager: 'I think you know why.'
Me: 'No really, tell me why.'

Manager: 'Please leave before I call mall security.'
Me: 'Excuse me?'
Manager: 'Please leave before I call mall security.'
Me: 'What on earth for?'
Manager: 'Please, sir..'

Me: 'Uh, go ahead, call them.'
Manager: 'Would you please just leave?'
Me: 'No.'
Manager: 'Fine -- have it your way then.'
Me: 'Hey, that's Burger King, isn't it?'

At this point, he backs away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner. I have two people staring at me from the dining area and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect.

A few minutes later this 45-year-oldish guy comes in.

Guard: 'Yeah, Mike, what's up?'
Manager (whispering): 'This guy is trying to give me some (pause) funny money.'
Guard: 'No kidding! What?'
Manager: 'Get this. A two dollar bill.'
Guard (incredulous): 'Why would a guy fake a two dollar bill?'
Manager: 'I don't know. He's kinda weird. He says the only other thing he has is a fifty.'
Guard: 'Oh, so the fifty's fake!'
Manager: 'No, the two dollar bill is.'
Guard: 'Why would he fake a two dollar bill?'
Manager : 'I don't know! Can you talk to him, and get him out of here?'
Guard: 'Yeah.'

Security Guard walks over to me and......
Guard: 'Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're trying to use.'
Me: 'Uh, no.'
Guard: 'Lemme see 'em.'
Me: 'Why?'
Guard: 'Do you want me to get the cops in here?'

At this point I'm ready to say, 'Sure, please!' but I want to eat, so I say, 'I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this two dollar bill.

I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I'm taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and he says, 'Hey, Mike, what's wrong with this bill?'
Manager: 'It's fake.'
Guard: 'It doesn't look fake to me.'
Manager: 'But it's a two dollar bill.'
Guard: 'Yeah? '
Manager: 'Well, there's no such thing, is there?'

The security guard and I both look at him like he's an idiot and it dawns on the guy that he has no clue and is an idiot.

So, it turns out that my burrito was free, and he threw in a small drink and some of those cinnamon thingies, too.

Made me want to get a whole stack of two dollar bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff.

Just think... those two are of the age to be voting!!!

NOW do you understand why and how Obama got a 2nd term?

A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and ... inform the other if there is sex after death. Their biggest fear was that there was no after life at all.

After a long life together, the husband was the first to die.

True to his word, he made the first contact:

" Marion .... Marion "

"Is that you, Bob?"

"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."

"That's wonderful! What's it like?"

"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then it's off to the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times.. Then I have lunch (you'd be proud - lots of greens). Another romp around the golf course, then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's back to the golf course again. Then it's more sex until late at night. I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over again".

"Oh, Bob! Are you in Heaven?"

"No -- I'm a rabbit somewhere in North Carolina.”

Mark's Market Blog
4-28-13: The market searches for direction.
by Mark Lawrence
The market went up last week on little interesting news. However, margin debt - the amount of money borrowed to play the market - is approaching an all-time high and is currently somewhere slightly above $380 billion. This means the market is especially sensitive to any correction, as if the market drops by more than a couple percent people operating on borrowed money are going to have to pull out quick. The economy continues to show signs of fraying around the edges...
 
Mark  Lawrence has a multimillion dollar, multinational, company selling software for hospitals.  I have met and visited with him.  He publishes a newsletter which he sends to friends.   I have posted excerpts of his letters in the past.  I think some of his content would be of interest to some on this board.<

An e-mail from old Packer buddy Boomer.  Remember him?
 
This aboriginal version of Waltzing Matilda is just that. 
 
My good buddy Sleeve could dance his buns off to this one after a few beers.  Actually he didn’t need the beer.  I swear he’d put Fred Astaire to shame.   
Waltzing Matilda sung in Kriol, a mixture of local aboriginal dialect, pidgin English and a smidgen of Chinese. This is really entertaining. Listen for the pronunciation of sheep. It is very catchy.
 
I’ve spent a lot of time Down Under in my time and have heard this played a time or two or three, but not quite like this version.  Good luck understanding the words – I couldn’t.  Maybe after a few beers I might.  Ya think?
 
I’m not so sure that Waltzing Matilda isn’t the Aussie national anthem, but it sure is great beer drinking music.  Sets a mood. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=WgLtzD6JxcA&vq=medium (http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=WgLtzD6JxcA&vq=medium)
 
It fascinated me.  I have wondered for a long time about the history of the Australian National Anthem.

I know right.  We have lived in this house 8 years this fall and never had a problem with the sump pump.  I was not expecting it to be that old.  I will probably have to be replacing them every few year nows that I have been forced to get a new one.  The old one was seriously probably installed when they built the house in the late 40's early 50's.  It is definately not a plastic POS.

Thats very bizarre sportster.  AC's arent that complicated, theres really nothing in it that should fail within two years. There was an EPA mandated switch to a new kind of coolant a few years ago, so its possible that the manufacturer hasnt worked out the kinks yet.  Could you please ask your co-worker make, model, tonnage and what actually failed on the unit?    I work in sheetmetal and do AC/furnace installs and service on the side, so every bit of info on units to avoid helps.

Not telecommuting.  I drive HOV in a commuter van both ways.   :'(

And I had to replace my Hot Water heater on Wednesday.  Would have been an easy job but the damn azzhole who installed it soldered the copper pipes directly to the top of the damn unit!

Probably thought the new home owner would call the number they stuck on the side to replace it when it started leaking.  It lasted almost 10 years because we had the house built in 2003.

Packy - How many months you run your a/c up in Wisconsin?

I live in Towanda, IL but from my experience in visiting relatives in Wis I would say a little less than here in central IL.  The biggest difference between Wis is that it generally cools off more in the evenings.
 
 When I was away at school I slept in an uninsulated attic during the summer time when I was home.  We lived in the country and I slept with a blanket at night.  That would not be so in the city, but it does cool off some.  We didn't have central A/C when I lived in Wis (left in 1952.)

Summers are definitely not as humid as in IL.

We didn't have central A/C growing up in Illinois. Had a small window unit in the summer that only cooled the living room. We did have a whole house attic fan that sucked in cool air through the windows and exhausted to the attic that kept most evenings pretty cool. Of course, with the sh!thole Aurora has become you probably can't leave the windows open at night anymore.

At least you will be able to carry a gun to protect yourself, soon.

Woman Stops Grizzly Attack With 25 Caliber Pistol !

This is a story of self-control and marksmanship with  an "itsy bitsy shooter" by a woman facing a fierce predator.

What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself?

The 25 cal. Beretta Jetfire:

Here's her story:

While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my husband, we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of nowhere.

She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive.

If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire with me, I would not be here today!

Just one shot to my husband's knee cap was all it took.

The bear got him and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace.


It's one of the best pistols in my collection.

A father walks into a restaurant with his young son. He gives the young boy 3 nickels to play with to keep him occupied.

Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickels and starts slapping him on the back. The boy coughs up 2 of the nickels, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help.

A well-dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at the coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant.

Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand.

Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word.

As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor? "

"No," the woman replied, "I'm with the Internal Revenue Service."

 So he made "The End Of The Game" ... and he was free.

A guy was getting ready to tee off on the first hole when a second
golfer approached and asked if he could join him.
The first said that he usually played alone, but agreed to the
twosome. They were even after the first few holes. The second guy
said, "We're about evenly matched, how about playing for five bucks a
hole?" The first guy said that he wasn't much for betting, but agreed
to the terms. The second guy won the remaining sixteen holes with
ease. As they were walking off number eighteen, the second guy was
busy counting his $80.00. He confessed that he was the pro at a
neighboring course and liked to pick on suckers. The first fellow
revealed that he was the Parish Priest. The pro was flustered and
apologetic, offering to return the money. The Priest said, "You won
fair and square and I was foolish to bet with you. You keep your
winnings." The pro said, "Is there anything I can do to make it up to
you?" The Priest said, "Well, you could come to Mass on Sunday and
make a donation...... And, if you want to bring your mother and father
along, I'll marry them.

Alright, I had an idea for the season and beer.  Each city has it's character beer.  Would it be fair to say Old Style is the Chicago beer?  I am not saying it is the best tasting beer, but isn't that the beer that you think of when you think of Chicago?

So looking at the schedule, Cincinnati is up first.  There are two beers that I have picked up and will have game ready.  Burger, the poor man's Old Style and Hudepohl which actually has a little flavor to it.

So what do I get for Minnesota that is available in Tennessee?

For Pittsburgh, I have Rolling Rock, would prefer Iron City

For Detroit, Strohs...ugh...

If I have to go with a microbrew, that is okay...would actually prefer that over Strohs

So you see where this is going...


Saints    Dixie

Giants   ??

Skins   ??

Packers   ??

Ravens   Terrapin??

Rams   Budweiser

Cowboys   Lonestar or Pearl

Browns   ??

Eagles   ??

Considering coming up to Chicago for a couple of days in March to see the Blackhawks. It's been so long since I've been back (20+ years) I don't know my way around anymore. Any recommendations on decent hotels and how to get to and from the United Center? I've been told getting a cab after a game is near impossible. May just rent a car and stay in the burbs but would rather be downtown.

It's really not that big a deal.   You can take a cab to the UC and then you can either get one on the way out or take one of the million buses that will be lined up. They run east on Madison and once you are clear of the UC (anywhere from Halsted east to the loop), you'll find a cab easily or you can take the el to wherever you need to go.

 Packy,

 I am still trying to figure out how a paratrooper from the 82nd Airborne could come up with the music that Jimi Hendrix played.

 He never played it before he was in the 82nd.

 That must have been one hell of a jump from a perfectly good aircraft to inspire that amount of music.  ;D

 I wonder what was going thru his mind while floating down on a parachute to come up with this :

 A napalm strike when the forest fire is moving in the wrong direction to the wind.

 Think GhostBusters. We could store the napalm at Wml's place ... which is where we always stored it.  :D

From Mark Lawrence:

Desperate for something, anything to make him relevant, Obama has announced a new higher education program. The main points:

Schools will be scored by the Department of Education on affordability, a school's outreach to disadvantaged students, graduation rates and the real-world earnings of graduates once they enter the job market.
Pell grants and other aid would be tied to a school's score.
Extra money for schools who "innovate" with 3 year programs, on-line courses, things that cut costs for students.
Student debt payment capped at 10% of wages.
No congressional debate required, this can be established by executive order.

Perhaps Dollar Tree will open a university and offer courses, a dollar per unit per day? An entire 3-year degree should be under $5000. That should be extraordinarily efficient. I've every confidence that liberal-leaning Silicon Valley will quickly jump in to support this program and start preferentially hiring engineers from DTU. The real cost savings will happen when Walmart gets involved, of course, offering on-line courses from China with free in-store shipping. I can't wait to be operated on by a disadvantaged surgeon with an efficient medical degree from Wossa Motta U Wal Mart U. Apparently no one can find a single student from Columbia who remembers ever taking a course with Obama; obviously this is the guy to rebuild from scratch our world-leading 250 year old university system.

Google is in talks with the NFL to buy the Sunday Ticket package. DirecTV has had a monopoly for over a decade, but their contract runs out after this year and it's not obvious they can afford the estimated $1.3 billion per year price tag. Google says they want to broadcast games on Youtube. There's a major strategy here to take power from cable and satellite companies and move it to the internet - Google is a media company that sells ad time, and wants more control over more media. The NFL games consistently rank among the most watched and therefore most profitable for advertising of all TV shows. If this NFL deal happens, it will be the start of a long term decline for cable and satellite TV. This makes sense to me: it's all just bits of information, why are you paying your cable company for some bits and your internet provider for others?

All Windows 8 machines come with an extra chip which handles digital rights and security - the Trusted Platform Module. TPM 2, released with Windows 8, decides which software can and cannot run on your computer. It cannot be disabled by you. The list of allowed and disallowed software can be updated by Microsoft any time without your knowledge, or, for that matter, by anyone who has the key. At the last TPM 2 specification conference a voice vote was taken and one thing heard was "The NSA agrees." Since many chips are now made in China, it's considered clear that China also has backdoor keys to many Windows 8 machines. The German government has warned that Windows 8 machines are unacceptable for government use and "operators of critical infrastructure." Yet another reason to have a Chromebook or Mac.

I think there are about 11 c-130 gunships around.   Those damn dc-3's live forever, can't kill them.  I'm sure there's some out there today going from point a to point b. Steve,jj, we need one to park next to the voodoo.  I vote for keeping them at Steve's very dry there, no rust, and who knows? Might find some work along the boarder. If you have a 4,000 round a minute electric machine gun circling above, you may think twice about any wrong doing.

 AZ,

 Whats unique about the XB-70 is if you told anybody today that thats what the Air Force is going to put into production in 2020 ... the reaction would be :

 "Well yeah of course ... thats what a 2020 Bomber should look like."

 It was so futuristic in the late fifties and early sixties that it defies imagination even to this day.

 The mission changed when the Soviets came up with high altitude missles ... the XB70 was out of a job.

 Enter the B-1 ... even that was put on hold and revitalised later into what it is today.

A lesson in American history...

Do you know what happened 163 years ago on September 9, 1850?

California became a state.

The people had no electricity.

The state had no money.

Almost everyone spoke Spanish.

There were gunfights in the streets.

So basically NOTHING has changed except then the women had real boobs and the men didn't hold hands.

That, my friends, is the history lesson for today.

Bil what brand of Chorizo do you use?  I have tried a few but none of them compares to the chorizo our local mexican resturant uses.  There's is the bomb.

I always order Tacos Don Rafa from there.  It is three tacos with flank steak and chorizo in them served with pico de gallo, rice and beans and their white cheese sauce.  It is fricking awesome!

 Sorry guys,

 I understand that love for pulled pork and chorizo ... but JJ's just a BEEF man ... I know you love it too.

 The whole pork thing never got to me except for bacon and smoked ham.

 Ok maybe some ribs once in awhile but they were a poor performance compared to actual beef ribs.

 A T-Bone all by itself knocks out any pork product.

 I never got the hang of the pork thing ... especially pork chops.

 And pork loin ?? I want to vomit when I see it.

 I love shrimp and lobster ... Sporty thinks they are bugs ... its that kind of a difference.

 As for lamb ... its almost beef but more greasy ... and thats the deal ... greasy meat.

 Pork is greasy unless its cured. I think the grease factor is the bottom line.

 So far as I know ... there are STEAK HOUSES ... Peter Lugers in NYC ...

 however there are no PORK HOUSES ... that serve prime USDA choice PORK.

 Actually thats an oxy-moron ... its either USDA choice OR prime.

 USDA select?

I prefer beef also.  My favorite food is a good steak. 

JJ, even a fairly cheap ribeye at your local grocer can be made delicious if you prepare and cook it right.

Here is how to do it right.  Salt the steak on each side and let it sit on the counter.  The salt will draw out the liquids in the steak but if you let it sit they will then get soaked back into the steak.  This tenderizes and adds loads of flavor.

You can add other seasonings but they will just burn off and get bitter.

To make a really good steak you need it it to cook it with a really, really hot heat source.  Wether that is a grill or a broiler makes no difference.

You want the brown searing on the outside and still pink in the middle.  If you want more seasonings add them after the fact.

Also it is a good idea to give the steak a light coating of vegetable oil before putting it on the grill.  That keeps it from sticking and helps with the browning.

 Humans can endure everything except mesquitos and flys.

 Mesquitos are the best killers of humans on the planet.

 Mosquitos are very effective in eliminating population overflow amongst humans.

 Warfare amongst humans is a poor second choice.

Game day eats and drinks!

Pulled pork.  5 pound Boston Butt, slice onions thick and place in bottom of crockpot.  Season butt and sear outside with cast iron skillet.  Placed seered butt on top of onions in crockpot on low and cook overnight about 10 hours.  Remove butt from pot and place in foil pan.  Place foil pan on charcoal grill with chunks of mesquite and hickory.  Move coals to the edge of the grill so no direct heat on the meat and smoke away.  Stir butt occasionally.  Serve on nice French hamburger roll and top with cole slaw.  Sauce to taste, I use a sauce made locally at Martin's BBQ called Sweet Dixie.  More toward the runny than thick, a little heat and kind of on the vinegar side.  I can not wait.

Beer on tap for today Hudepohl and Burger, both Cincinnati beers.  Think I am ready now!

This will be the first time I've seen Hot Tuna but #4 for Leon Russell. As long as he's performing I'll continue to go see him...one of my all-time favorites.  Second time I'll be in the front row to see him.

What deep thinkers men are. 
 
I mowed the lawn today and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.
 
My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing and I said, 'Nothing!'.
 
The reason I said that instead of saying 'Just thinking!' is because she would have said, 'About what?'. 
 
At that point I would have to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics which would lead to other questions.
 
Finally I thought about an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the gonads.
 
Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.
 
Getting kicked in the family jewels is more painful than having a baby and here is the reason for my conclusion.
 
A year or so after giving birth a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."
 
On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."
 
I rest my case.
 
Time for another beer.

I know many of you are concerned, I survived the Strohs, but stuck it back in the closet after that distasteful loss and it will be used as a marinade instead of a beverage.  I have a buddy coming down from Michigan this this month and I will have him bring a microbrew from Great Lakes Brewery for the next one against those Lion thugs.

On to New Orleans for this Sunday, I am stocked with Dixie beer and Abita Turbo Dog, which I am told is like Guinness... yum!  Also, last night I had a beer mule drop off some Lone Star from Texas, so I am set for the Dallas game, though I still may get a little Shiner Bock also.

 Hey whats wrong with Strohs ? Loved that stuff when I lived in Hammond Ind.

 Fire brewed ... whatever that means.

 Now both Strohs and Lone Star tried to penetrate the California market in the 80's.

 Both are long gone. Lone Star was swill for pouring right into the toilet after one swig.

 Strohs should have stuck around but it never caught on.

 The one from Texas that I remember was Pearl. That was a good one.

 My uncle (long deceased) was the loading dock supervisor for Meister Brau in Chicago.

 He said that every lunch break you could drink 3 bottles of beer. My dream job ... getting paid to drink.

 Where did LITE BEER come from ? Glad you asked ...

 Miller Lite was essentially the first mainstream light beer. After its first inception as "Gablinger's Diet Beer," developed in 1967 by Blake L. Owades, a biochemist working for New York's Rheingold Brewery, the recipe was given (by the inventor of the light beer process) to one of Miller's competing breweries, Chicago's Meister Brau, which came out with the Meister Brau "Lite" brand in the late 1960s. When Miller acquired Meister Brau's labels the recipe was reformulated and relaunched as "Lite Beer from Miller"  (which was its official name until the mid 80s) in the test markets of Springfield, IL, Knoxville, TN and San Diego, CA in 1973

Yeah I used to work with an old guy that was retired from Pabst that used to brew in Peoria.  He said they were allowed a beer an hour on the job and could buy company beer for next to nothing.  I was made to work that job damn it!

I also know that a local beer distributor used to let their drivers have a drink at each stop but that is long gone also.  They also had a bar at work where the employees could could drink for free after work.

Abita Turbodog is a nice tasting beer, my buddy compared it to Guinness, but it isn't close.  More of a porter.  It is great with wings!

Jackie - You have me nervous about Lone Star, I have two 12 packs, I may have to start knocking a bottle off every week so that I have a tolerance built up.  I know Shiner is good so I have a back up.  My beer mule also brought me a micro brew called Devil's Backbone Ale.  Not bad.

If you all ever want a treat, Sawtooth Ale from the Left Hand Brewing Company.  It's pricey so I don't get it often but definitely top shelf in my opinion.

 G34,

 I'm just saying that what Lone Star passed off as beer years back in So Cal ... wasnt beer.

 
Abita Turbodog is a nice tasting beer, my buddy compared it to Guinness, but it isn't close.  More of a porter.  It is great with wings!

Jackie - You have me nervous about Lone Star, I have two 12 packs, I may have to start knocking a bottle off every week so that I have a tolerance built up.  I know Shiner is good so I have a back up.  My beer mule also brought me a micro brew called Devil's Backbone Ale.  Not bad.

If you all ever want a treat, Sawtooth Ale from the Left Hand Brewing Company.  It's pricey so I don't get it often but definitely top shelf in my opinion.

 Now we are talking G34,

 You name lots of good BEER that JJ never had ... Arbita Turbodog ... Shiner ... Sawtooth Ale ... Devils Backbone Ale ...

 JJ wants to DRINK this stuff ! Otherwise what the fuuck is it good for ?

My local Applebees is auctioning off all of their decor.  They had a Bears section with an old Singletary Jersey, The McMahon, Payton Miami Vice theme poster and a few other poster all framed.  I am planning on attending the auction and bidding on them but not sure how to price them.  Looking on ebay they aren't worth a whole lot.

Anyone know what a vintage Singletary framed jersey is worth?  Not signed.

Narragansett was excellent by the way.

Pekin - Wish I was up there, sounds like a good time either way.  On the Singletary jersey, I think it is more what is it worth to you.  How badly do you want it to complete your cave, set your budget, and there you go.

BTW, ebay is selling signed jerseys for between $120 to $160, unframed.  So maybe $200?  Depends how nice it is framed and any memories that you have about that Applebees...

Just bought some very disappointing BBQ potato chips; Jays. What's happened to the good tasting BBQ flavored chips?? Hard to find good quality tasty ones anymore. These have some color, a tiny bit of BBQ taste...very tiny and a weird aftertaste to em. Don't care for them at all but I'm really craving good tasting BBQ chips that actually have, ya know, BBQ flavor?? With the paprika and all? Any ideas? What's your favorite?

From Zapp's website:  "Voodoo flavor is a result of an accident. An employee was moving a pallet of spices off the top shelf and dropped it. While cleaning up, someone stuck their finger into the mixture of about 5 flavors and pronounced it great."

LOL! Is it BBQ flavored or some strange hodgepodge??

Its not bbq, but lately I have been liking Herr's Cheddar and horseradish chips.  They really have a sinus clearing horseradish flavor to them.  Herrs also makes a Texas Petes hot sauce chip which is pretty good.  I get them at Menards.  I know that doesnt help your bbq search.  They did have a bbq rib chip that I tried a few years back but they must not have been too memorable.

Okay, beer tour continues.  Today's choice is Starr Hill Dark Star Stout.  It is as close as I could get to DC, brewed in Virginia.  From the Starr Hill site,

Dark Starr Stout

Dry Irish Stout

Starr Hill’s Dark Starr Stout has won more national and international awards than any other Dry Irish Stout in the country. Brewed with roasted barley, and with hints of coffee and dark chocolate, it packs a robust taste into a surprisingly light body. This signature brew pours like velvet and drinks like a slice of grandma’s pumpernickel bread.


Looking forward to it.

Wife and I went to Arizona two weekends ago. The trip was for our 21st anniversary.

I must say Arizona sucks.  Phoenix traffic was awful. 12 lanes of interstate and nothing but bumper to bumper traffic. Not much better in Tempe or Scottsdale, Mesa was a little better. The mountains were cool but the entire state is ugly after that. 3/4 of the people talked Spanish and it felt like we crossed the border. The big event was the Grand Canyon it but was closed due to the idiots at the White House. So the backup plan was the Carolina Panthers game against the Cardinals. Not only is the stadium ugly, but being in a closed stadium really was no louder than any other stadium. Pretty boring game as well. Some of the fans were stupid and acted like they never seen a football game before.

The dry heat is a gimmick. It was in the 90's and it was just as hot on a humid day in Florida. In Florida you can hide at the beach in the ocean with a decent breeze, in Arizona there is no shade unless you can hide under a cactus.

I did see some Spring Training ball parks, plus the one the Cubs play at considering the hotel was in Mesa 3 miles from their ballpark.

Their zoo was pretty big and nice but all the big animals were hiding under their rocks because of the heat. The Superstition Mountains were neat to look at. They were surrounded by a Ghost Town in Apache Junction but it was so hot you couldn't enjoy it and the food was terrible. We ended up at a McDonalds a few hours later because we were starving.

Big whoop. We had a better time back in August when went to Indianapolis for their zoo and two Triple A games (Columbus vs. Indianapolis) at their wonderful ballpark. Plus we got to touch sharks at their zoo/aquarium. I will go back there again before anywhere except the Gulf beaches.

Now you may like it, it wasn't for me. It could have been because of no trip to the Grand Canyon but the city of Phoenix was just dreadful.

They had a huge mall in Mesa that had an aquarium in it. We ended up there one night and at the movies and saw We Are The Millers.

So they closed down the Grand Canyon?  Why exactly is any government needed to allow people to see that?

When I was a kid we went to see some caves and that was cool as hell.  My favorite vacations were just camping and fishing.  That **** doesn't do it when you have all girls though.

What your saying is its a bunch of people speaking a language I don't understand, in the middle of a desert that don't like me.  Like, say Iraq.  Pass.  BTW, that part of the world is REALLY running out of fresh water as the population grows, and grows, and grows. All you Bear fans in Chicago should go look east at what you have and smile.  It might get cold, but your not going to die of thirst.  All those ass holes that thought it was funny how the midwest froze when heating oil went through the roof are finding out that there are long memories in the midwest.  Enjoy your rationed 2 oz. of water a day.  That's what it will come to. I'm sure the government will help.

Pekin, It's owned by the government. matter of fact, 30 miles before you get to the Canyon was closed because they owned the road as well. Unless you live in the Flagstaff area, you couldn't get in or be on  the road. It made me sick.

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

One of the strangest accents I think are the Fargo/Canada types. They say 'look out'. We say it with a 'ow' sound, they say it with a 'oh'....with the occasional 'yah hey der' thrown in 8} . Was watching some ice trucker type show, may have been that I dunno, but they were talking about semi's We pronounce them with a I sound at the end, they pronounced them with a 'me' sound, it sounded pretty strange.

It seems to me that as more time passes people in England are slowly switching their accent  to more of a Midwest America accent.  Maybe from so much exposure to US TV and movies.

Good old Ben Stein.  Love him.

Apparently the White House referred to Christmas Trees as Holiday Trees for the first time this year, which prompted CBS presenter, Ben Stein, to present this piece which I would like to share with you. The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. My confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejewelled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees. It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a nativity scene, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away. I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat. Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to. In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking. Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Katrina). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?' In light of recent events... terrorist attacks, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK. Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay. Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.' Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. Are you laughing yet? Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it. Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us. Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not, then just discard it.... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what a bad shape the world is in. My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully, Ben St

I saw them open up for ZZ Top in the early 80's at the Peoria Civic Center and years later they headlined a festival on the Peoria Riverfront.

Central Illinois has always had a ton of good musicians. For some reason few make it big.  Probably just to far away from the industry.

REO Speedwagon had memebrs form the area as well.

The last band to make it from the area is Mudvayne.  I do not know him personally but I went to highschool with Greg Tribbet their guitar player.  There are lot's of talented musicians here not getting much recognition though.

I went to school with Mike Layne also.  In fact when I was in the scene I was in bands that opened for his.  He has not made it yet but I suspect he will fairly soon.

The same guys wrote surfing on the Illinois and several other quirky catchy tunes.  Rumour has it they were offered a record label deal but turned it down because they were afraid to quit their days jobs, leave their families behind and go on tour.

Six DUI arrests since 2012.  Time to lock him up for at least a year.

Former Bears quarterback Bob Avellini faces DUI charges again
Indictment comes a little more than a week after conviction in 2012 drunken driving case


By Stacy St. Clair -  Tribune reporter - 9:02 p.m. CDT, October 11, 2013

A DuPage County grand jury indicted former Bears quarterback Bob Avellini on felony drunken driving charges this week after his sixth DUI-related arrest since 2002.

Avellini, 60, who played for the Bears from 1975 to 1984, was stopped by Roselle police Sept. 15 while driving near his northwest suburban home. According to court records, Avellini "had (a) very strong odor of alcohol, glassy bloodshot eyes, lethargic motion, (and) slurred speech" upon being pulled over.

The police report also described him as confused and swaying during the 12:45 a.m. traffic stop. He also acknowledged that he had been drinking, court records state.

Avellini, 60, refused to submit to a breath test, so his blood was drawn at Central DuPage Hospital. Records show his blood alcohol content was 0.181 — more than twice the legal limit — four hours after being pulled over.

Prosecutors later charged Avellini with felony drunken driving because he has two prior DUI convictions and was driving on a suspended license. If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison.

A DuPage County grand jury affirmed the charge this week, indicting Avellini on five counts of aggravated driving under the influence. He is expected back in court later this month.

Reached at his Roselle home Friday, Avellini declined to comment.

Avellini's latest arrest came nine days after a DuPage County judge convicted him of a misdemeanor drunken driving charge stemming from a 2012 arrest. He was sentenced to serve two years of probation, perform 300 hours of public service and undergo an evaluation for counseling services. He was instructed not to drive until the court allows it, records show.

Avellini also has a DUI conviction on his record from 2002, according to the Illinois secretary of state's office. He has beaten DUI charges three times in the past decade, DuPage County court records show.

In addition to his legal problems, he filed for bankruptcy protection last year, citing liabilities of more than $2.2 million and assets of about $1.3 million.

I just found out my wifes Aunt and Uncle's house as well as one of her cousins houses were both leveled in Washington.  Luckily they were at church at the time so none of them were injured.

Also her grandmother moved less then a year ago from a condo to a nursing home and her old condo was leveled.

I guess the Bears are wearing shirts with the Washington Panther emblem on before and after the game.  I had originally heard it would be on the helmets but I guess that got nixed or was somebody putting out some wrong info.

The communities around here are pulling together and helping out.  A local radio station got $47,000 in donations in two days standing in front of a couple Walmarts.

People are donating their garages for others to store their stuff in over the winter.  I am hearing terrible stuff about most insurance companies in particular Progressive.  The one company that has been getting high praises is Pekin Insurance.  Of course they are right here in town and they are expensive so they damn well better give great service.  They have been writing checks on the spot while other insurance companies require ridiculous demands before they give a dime.

Couldn't see it but heard it just fine.

If you were to build a bridge from my back yard across the river it would take like 10 minutes to get to that area. But since you have to go around thru Peoria and East Peoria about 25 minutes.

1). You are reading this.
2). You are human.
3). You can't say the letter P without separating your lips.
4). You just attempted to do it.
6). You are laughing at yourself.
7). You have a smile on your face right now and you skipped #5.
8 ). You just checked to see if there is a #5.
9). You can't believe you fell for this twice.
10). You are probably going to pass this on to see who else falls for it...

Happy Monday All!  ;D

46 - Have you ever been to Old Chicago in Murfreesboro?  If I am not mistaken the may have one now in Franklin also.  In my opinion, there Chicago 7 pizza is excellent, though I also enjoy pizza from Mellow Mushroom down here as well.  Not easy finding good pizza for sure.

Hope everyone is enjoying this fine weather, wow single digits way up north!  The beer tour has continued and this week will be enjoying some Lone Star from Texas.  Can probably pick up some Shiner as they sell it locally, but had a friend from Austin actually bring us the Lone Star.  I would imagine it is a less expensive beer along the lines of Old Style or Pabst, but has a great regular beer flavor.  Good choice, I hoipe I still have some in the fridge at game time.

A new beer out on our shelves if you hadn't tried it is called Third Shift.  It is an amber lager and has a nice rich taste, not too strong.  If you slapped a fancy Sam Adams name on it, it would sell for $2 more per 6.  Ya'll should give it a try and see what you think. 

Through the course of the year, I have tried several different beers through this tour and revisited some old friends.  On that I had never had that isn't always available is Narragansett.  I had the lager and it came in a white can with a red label.  Delicious.

Need some suggestions for Cleveland, they have a microbrewery there that produces Great Lakes beers, but they don't sell locally in Murfreesboro.  Not looking forward to Eagles, looks like it will be Yuengling which I just don't have a taste for.  Their black and tan is okay.  Finishing it off with some Pabst for the Packers.

Finally, picked up two 6 packs of beer in Florida that I hadn't been exposed to, and weren't in distribution when I lived there.  Outside of Tampa, there is a bar district which is called Ybor City.  It has a much richer history than that, but that is what it is today.  They have a history of cigar making in the area, and one of the bar owners produces a line of beers under the name of Cigar City Brewing. I picked up Helles Lager and Maduro Brown, looking forward to those and will give full report.

I hope you all appreciate the research and sacrifice that I go through to bring you these reports.  Someone has to do the heavy lifting around here.

Go Bears!!

There are right now over 200,000 people in the boro area. 200,000! There's only a little over 300,000 in the entire country of Iceland.  Murfreesboro has exploded. Still liking TN?

I lived on the eastern side of the lake for over 20 years and one of the things I like most is no wind. The wind never stopped
off that lake especially in the winter. You would think with the migration south property values would drop more than they have, where someone not super rich could pick up something on the shore, a little dump, but that's not the case. I do miss fall up north.

Post by: Grizzlybear34 on December 09, 2013, 05:43:04 am
JJ - So many flavors, so little time.

Maduro Brown by Cigar City (Florida)
Helles Lager by Cigar City
Narragansett (Rhode Island)
Lone Star (Texas)
Abita Turbo Dog (Louisiana)
Dixie (Louisiana)
Starr Hill and Flying Dog (Baltimore/Washington DC area)
Great Lakes Brewing (Any flavor was great) - Cleveland
Buckeye - Toledo
Third Shift - Ohio and Texas

If I rated them, I would put Lone Star right there with Pabst and Old Style in bottles for an economy everyday drinker.  I also have a taste for Icehouse in that category

Flying Dog Pale Ale is consistently good and what I think of when I think of Pale Ale. 

Pleasantly surprised by Turbo dog as long as you aren't expecting a Guinness experience.  Maduro Brown had a little more body and flavor, but don't turn either down.  Third shift is more of an economy premium taste and not far behind.

I'll always buy Narragansett Lager when available, it has a sweet aftertaste I can't quite describe it. 

One I didn't cover, but is always my go to when I want to spoil myself is Sawtooth Ale by Left Hand.  I think they are out of Colorado.

 A Catholic priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop. One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go to the Smokies, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it. Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages on his body and limbs, went first. “Well,” he said, “I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So, I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation.”

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, “WELL brothers, you KNOW that WE don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrassle. We wrassled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So right quick-like, I DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus.”

They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape. The rabbi looks up and says, “Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start.”

Subject: Senior discounts- US and Canada?
 




SENIOR DISCOUNTS

Keep this list and send a copy to your senior friends and relatives.

As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently, I heard him ask for his senior discount.  The girl at the register apologized and charged him less.  When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 get 10% off everything on the menu, every day.  Being of 'that' age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too.  This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements.  I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start at the young age of 50.
This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and family too.

Mark Lawrence commented on this on Facebook and mentioned ACL and the Moonlight Run.

Had a good time racing today!! Didn't finish well last race, had a flat rear tire after the 3rd lap....I drove 9 laps on a flat and thought, boy I stink at this, well ...guess I will keep trying until I can't blame it on the tire.!!!! Thanks for the encouragement and the digs! Had the green Moonshine Lunch Run shirt on and ACL ( TERRY) had my back. Live every moment....♡

 My brother passed away today ... he leaves a wife and six kids who have kids.

 What did him in was Winstons ... a chain smoker.

 If I just could have gotten him to relax and smoke grass or have a beer ...

 but he was career NAVY for too many years.

 He would never let his guard down to relax.

 He was teaching how computers work on nuclear submarines in the 1970's for the Navy.

 And now he is on HIGH. God bless you Dave ... you were a true son of a biitch.

 Your legacy is all of your kids are doing good.  :D

I'm sorry for your loss JJ. My brother and I are very close, talk almost every day. I come from a military family too, I was born on a military base,
and let me tell you, booze and smokes and coffee fuels the military no matter what they say. As you say, eventually it catches up. Again, very sorry.

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.
 
The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
 
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.
 The sign reads, 'If you can catch me, you can have me.'
 
Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up..
 
The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
 
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.
 
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.
 
The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, 'If you catch me you can have me'.
 
Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
 
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised. He decides to go for it and
 
calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program
 
'Are you sure?' asks the representative on the phone... 'This is our most rigorous program.'
 
'Absolutely,' he replies, 'I haven't felt this good in years.'
 
The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, 'If I catch you, you're mine.'
 
He lost 63 pounds that week

If it weren't for all the people and the fact that all our family is here, I would think hard about making a move to FL. My wife hates the cold, anything under 75 for her and she needs a jacket. I bet our biggest ongoing disagreement is what the thermostat should be on.

 Yea Hiber and some that may or may not be gone : Strohs in the midwest ... fire brewed from Detroit.
 
 Drank alot of it when living in Hammond Ind. It came on briefly on the west coast when I moved here but it faded. Still miss it.
 
 Lone Star from Texas was another one that made an excursion into the west coast and believe me if thats what they drink in Texas, Texas can keep it.
 
 Two that seem to be fading on the west coast are Olympia and Rainer Ale from Washington State ... they may be gone already which is sad.
 
 If you ever drove up north towards Seattle,about a mile from SEATAC (the airport) your nose would be hit with this incredibly MALT BEER oder ... it was the Rainer brewery.
 
 Old Style made a short run on the west coast but it faded too. Drank boatloads of it in the midwest ... is it still around ? It seemed popular and when I lived in Chicago it outsold Budweiser 30 to 1.
 
 I would like more beer brands then less. Craft local beers are now too many to be named.

Old Style was selling like crazy in downstate Illinois up until a few years ago when overnight they raised the price and went from a 30 pack to a 24.  I stopped buying it instantly and sent them an e-mail telling them why.

I am not going to pay more for a case then I was for a 30 pack just because you changed your advertising campaign.  IDIOTS!!!

  I got into the ML kick when it first came out but it lacked punch being a lite beer.
 
 Went back to the fuller bodied beers. This is one Ive never been able to figure out :
 
 Corona , I understand the clear bottle for college kids ... it replaced Heinikens on campus's,
 
 but lets be real ... it tastes like Miller in their clear bottle so whats the big deal ?

Yes they are.  Old Style was a bottom shelf beer here in downstate Illinois.  Cheap and good.  Now it is a top shelf beer and has the price to match.  **** that.

I drink Miller High Life now.  I can afford it and it is not as terrible as some of the other cheap beers.  Busch is also decent for the price but is generally a dollar more a thirty pack.

JJ - That's Iron City and it's not bad.  I think you should give Lonestar another shot, I really enjoyed it. 

I haven't really been a Miller High Life guy, for my low cost beer I like Pabst, bottles is best.  Miller Light or Coors Light for my lights.  I really like the flavor of Icehouse and it has that kick.  I can pay $9.19 for a 12 of Old Style locally, is that overpriced?  That's comparable to Pabst and Icehouse.  I now get the Hamms in a 6 pack of 16s for $5.19.

And then I like a good craft beer to mix in with my low budget drinkers.  I always try to buy a local craft when I am out of the area or a common beer (Iron City, Lonestar) when I am in the market.  The Nashville area has a number of great craft breweries, and we are close enough to Atlanta to get their spill over.

Bottles is always best but also more expensive.

Interesting that Hamms is back.  Schlitz is doing their old 60's formula but it doesn't go down like I remember.  Schlitz was IT for a while.  Light beer -- the reason it's light is because there's no alcohol in it.  And that's the problem with Busch vs Budweiser.  Budweiser is guaranteed 5%, Busch is not.  For you Scotch drinkers on a budget, I've found a very decent blend called Grants -- $25 for a 1.75.  Bottoms up.

Coke switched back and had the advantage of only one real competitor. I expect that Schlitz didn't have that option. I don't drink at all but have heard all my life that Budweiser tastes like urine but people still buy it and they spend a ton on advertising.

The guy thinks for a moment and says, "I want to live forever."

They sell it at the same store I bought Hamms in the past month.  I'll give it a try and full report.

Info about Schlitz Brewery.  Looks like Schlitz is still made.  The actual Schlitz website ( http://schlitzbrewingco.com/index.html (http://schlitzbrewingco.com/index.html) )is under construction, but found info at Wikipedia and at the Pabst Brewery website.  Can't really tell from either site where it's sold now.  When Pabst brought it back it was not nationwide.

Alright, had a Schlitz last night.  It was alright.  Since I don't recall having one in the past 5 years, I can't tell if it was the same formula or the old formula or whatever.  I won't likely buy it again, but it was okay.  I wanted to say it was actually a little on the sweeter side.  I have it ranked above Stroh's (the floor) and a little closer to Old Style than Pabst.  I will probably have to plan a redneck Saturday where I compare Shlitz, Old Style, Pabst, Miller High Life, and Genessee.  I'd throw Hamms in there, but the store stopped carrying it already.  Bummer.  I'd like to add Icehouse to the list, but it has a distinct flavor I would know each time that I had a sip of that. 

Has anyone tried any of the Goose Island flavors?  Enjoying 312 this week, have not tried their Ten Hills which is out in the store.  Have enjoyed Honkers Ale and their IPA, would like report from anyone trying the Goose Island.

And if you can get Sweetwater in your market, try the 420, one of my favorite pale ales.

 If they are making beer on Goose Island thats news to me.
 
 If you pulled off onto Goose Island from North Ave. and parked the car and got out the rifles you could go down by the river and shoot "puppy rats".
 
 Huge rats that ran along the river banks. The lower edge of Goose Island you were so far away from North Ave. that the cops couldnt hear you shooting off .22's.

Being the "When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer" dude, I was more than positive I could win the taste contest between Schlitz and Budweiser (this was 35 odd years ago) at some watering hole.  I failed.  I picked Budweiser.  However, I have learned one thing -- it's much easier to move "up" than it is to move "down."  Give a Jim Beam bourbon drinker a tumbler of Maker's Mark and it's peachy, but reverse that and it ain't.  Sort of like going from a Camel non-filter to a Marlboro -- you rip the filter off on the first few packs.  So, I got hooked on Heineken, but finances and the extraordinary amount of bottles in the trash forced me back to American beers in cans.  It wasn't easy.  Now, though, I find Heineken very drinkable but heavy.

 Its not that its too heavy ... but too hoppy. Heineken can cause heartburn on an empty stomach. COORS used to do that to me when I first moved to California. I switched back to Budweiser after the then,
 
"COORS mystik." (to midwesterners because you couldnt have it)
 
ran itself out of gas.
 
Later on I tried COORS again and found it to be good.
 
I ran into this bottle of beer in a store in CA. from Norway and bought it and took one swig and spit it out.
 
I didnt know at the time the bottle had been sitting there so long it had turned to viniger.
 
Years later I thought I would try it again ... one of the best beers ever tasted.
 
For todays taste I have to go with Natural Ice ...
 
the kick and the price.
 
Would I rather have Coors or Budweiser ? Yes. Lower the price.
 
Anybody remember Lowinbrau (sp) ?
 
And this one ... Henry Weinhards (sp) ?
 
You can make your own beer ... ive done it ... I should do it again.  ???

Löwenbräu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70YgvKHipV0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70YgvKHipV0)

Who could forget that jingle....

Here's to good friends...  Tonight let it be Lowenbrau...

Wow!  Look at the history of that beer...

History[edit]
 
Löwenbräu was likely founded around 1383. In 1524, Jörg Schnaitter, a pierprew (beer brewer), is mentioned in connection with the property at the address 17 Löwengrube. The brewery was first mentioned in 1746 in the Munich tax records. The lion emblem originates from a 17th-century fresco in the brewing house, depicting Daniel in the lions' den.
 
In 1818 Georg Brey, a brewer of peasant origins, bought the brewery, which began to grow under his management. In 1826 brewing operations began moving to a new location on Nymphenburger Strasse; the move was completed in 1851. By 1863, Löwenbräu had become the largest brewery in Munich, producing a quarter of the city's beer output.
 
The brewery was formally incorporated in 1872 under the name Aktienbrauerei zum Löwenbräu. As brewer and owner, Ludwig Brey acquired the neighboring properties of Nikolaus Nassl, a "Bierwirt" (seller of beer). By Brey's order in 1882 and 1883, the Rank brothers built the Löwenbräukeller, according to the plans of Professor Albert Schmidt on the brewery's property. The grand opening of the Löwenbräukeller was on 14 June 1883. In 1886 the lion trademark was registered. Around the turn of the century Löwenbräu was the largest brewery in Germany, though strongly dependent on exports.
 
In 1921, Löwenbräu merged with Unionsbräu Schülein & Cie and Munich Bürgerbräu, two other breweries. These mergers brought Löwenbräu more property, including the Bürgerbräukeller. (In 1923, this beer hall became noted as the location of the unsuccessful Beer Hall Putsch which Adolf Hitler led against the government of the German state of Bavaria, of which Munich was the state capital.) In 1928, the company's beer production first exceeded a million hectoliters per year. The supervisory board of the new corporation included Wilhelm von Finck, one of the owners of Bürgerbräu, and Joseph Schülein, who was Jewish. Schülein's later tenure as the company's owner led the Nazis to deride Löwenbräu beer as "Jewsbeer." An Allied air raid in 1945 destroyed the brewery. After the war, an agreement was reached with the Schülein heirs, who had fled to the United States, to ensure the survival of the brewery. It resumed the export of beer in 1948—first to Switzerland.
 
Löwenbräu's market position in Upper Bavaria, and financing made possible by its large real estate holdings, helped drive worldwide sales of their beer. In North America Löwenbräu, came to be considered the archetype of Munich beer, as shown by its presence at the Montreal Expo in 1967.
 
In 1975 Miller Brewing acquired the North American rights to Löwenbräu. Miller began brewing Löwenbräu with an Americanized recipe and exports of Munich Löwenbräu to North America ceased. In 1999 North American rights to Löwenbräu passed to Labatt Brewing Company, which began to brew Löwenbräu in Canada for both the Canadian and US markets with the same recipe used in Germany. Labatt's production of Löwenbräu ended in 2002 and exports of Munich Löwenbräu to North America resumed, although on a much smaller scale than had been the case before the Miller deal.
 
In 1997, Löwenbräu merged with Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu to form the Spaten-Löwenbräu-Gruppe, which was sold to Interbrew in 2003. In 2004, Interbrew merged with AmBev to form InBev, which in turn acquired Anheuser-Busch to form Anheuser-Busch InBev. Proposals to relocate the Löwenbräu brewery out of the Munich city center have failed, despite the company's international ownership. Today, Löwenbräu has one of the oldest beer gardens in Munich.
 
Oktoberfest[edit]
 




A bottle cap celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Reinheitsgebot
Löwenbräu beer has been served at every Oktoberfest in Munich since 1810. Because only beers that are brewed in Munich are permitted to be sold at Oktoberfest, Löwenbräu is one of six breweries represented, along with Augustinerbräu, Hofbräuhaus, Hacker-Pschorr, Paulaner, and Spaten. For the Oktoberfest, Löwenbräu brews a special Märzen beer called Oktoberfestbier or Wiesenbier ("meadow beer," referring to the Bavarian name of the festival site, the "Wiesn"). Two of the large tents at Oktoberfest, the Löwenbräu-Festhalle and the Schützenfestzelt, are sponsored by Löwenbräu.
 
Oktoberfest beer, also known as Münchner Bier ("Munich beer"), is a registered trademark of the Club of Munich Brewers; Bavarian beer (Bayrisches Bier) and Munich beer in particular (Münchner Bier) are protected by the European Union as a PGI.

Can't forget Falstaff -- don't remember a jingle for them but still see a stray beer sign around.  Schlitz tried to do a Michelob thing with their premium Erlanger, although I think that was after Stroh's bought them out.  Didn't take.  Gonna give Natural Ice a try.  Remember the first time you tried to drink a beer?  I sure do, and it was nasty, but man, knew right away this stuff was something special.

I remember Hare Carey drinking Falstaff late at night during Sox games.

As he got buzzed he frequently knocked over the empties he had accumulated on the floor by his feet and you could hear the racket on the radio.

Harry drank at night if he was broadcasting or not.I remember watching on WGN the game that got the cubs the division title and Harry was in the booth frantically trying to
get downstairs before all the booze was gone. What was I drinking back then? Ahh.....Oly? Maybe? Cant' remember. Whatever it was, maybe I shouldn't have drunk so much.

 Yeah Falstaff, forgot about them but remember drinking it ... not bad.
 
 Wanna know what killed Michelob? They changed the bottle design.
 
 Everybody grew up with that Michelob bottle design ... they knew what it was and where to find it.
 
 They made it hard to find with the new design that looked like every other design ... they **** up.

Yeah I was 17.  It was 26 years ago.

One of the girls we used to hang out with had an older sister with her own apartment.  She would buy us beer if we would hang out there.  Started dating my wife after being friends and partying with her there for about a year.

My future wife always rode with the older women to get the beer so when we stopped hanging there so much they still sold to her even though she was only 19. Got married at 22 had three girls and still happily married.  She doesn't drink or smoke anymore but I drink enough for the both us.  She says one of us has to be responsible.  Damn glad it is her not me!

"Dog T,
Where can we get it at?"

At any fire-water package store.  However, I have changed my tune (just like a woman) and have crossed Jameson off the whiskey list.  Why, you say? Well, the first pull was fine, stayed with ya, but later on it seemed like I was drinking Seagram's 7 or some Canadian blend.  It lacked that "Scotch" sense of "no sugar,"  if you know what I mean.  Gonna have to sample Bushmill's again to compare.  Finished the Jameson and went back to the big Grants (the 1.75) for $25 and now I feel better.

Jackie, I'm stealing your Did God create the Universe, Or did the universe create God?  Never heard that and I like it.

Getting ready to bottle 5 gallons of apple wine and start another 5 gallon batch.  I am also starting a 5 gallon batch of blackberry wine.

I have done the apple wine many times.  It creates an extremely dry wine in a very short period of time.  If I keep up on it I can make 5 gallons every 4 weeks with one carboy.  If someone wanted to they could have several going like the link below shows and have a never ending supply.

http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/man-i-love-apfelwein-14860/

For anyone who wants to give it a shot.  Super easy once you make the investment in the carboys and airlocks.

First time trying the Blackberry wine so wish me luck.

Tried 3 new beers this weekend from the same brewer, Kona.  They are out of Hawaii and have attractive labels on the bottle, various beach themes. 

All were excellent, Firerock Pale was a nice light pale ale, but my favorite of the trio was Big Wave golden ale.  A not to distant third was Longboard lager.

I have been drinking Kona beer for a long time.  Firerock is my favorite that they bottle, although if you see Koko brown, give it a try,  it is a brown beer made with coconut.  Yummy stuff.

There is another seasonal Kona beer, Wailua wheat: 

Wailua Ale. This golden, sun colored ale has a bright, citrus flavor that comes from the tropical passion fruit we brew into each batch. Sit back, relax and enjoy paradise anytime.


The wife likes the passion fruit flavor of this one.

You guys obviously don't know what the term "cheap drunk " means.  Let me help. Blatz. Blacklabel. Champaign velvet. hudepohl. milwaukee's best. Ramping up to not only bad and cheap but toxic to the point where its known in certain circles as "liquid crack" Mickeys, and the real champ, old english 800. To get the best bad beer experiance, drink warm to hot, like having been fished out of a garbage can on a hot day, and out of the can. Yes, I do know what I'm talking about.

Actually, Hudepohl is no longer a cheap drunk.  I don't know that what I had was the original formula, however, nowadays it is marketed as an amber lager and sold for $9.99 /case.  And quite good!

If that's all the beer you got your hands on and you want one, you drink it. Though if "one" is the operative word, I'd pass. What's
the point? Having lived in Michigan for over 20 years I tried Stroh's IMO the most horrible tasting garbage ever.  But, employing the

I saw Dio live twice.  Once at the Peoria Civic Center around 1984 or so.  It was the tour where he had the castle and the big fire breathing dragon.  Accept (Balls to the Wall, man) opened up for him.  It was an excellent show.  Maybe the best concert I have ever been to.

The second time was at the old Madison Theatre in Peoria in the 90's.  He wasn't as popular at this point so it was a smaller venue and he did not have as much money into the show but it was still an excellent performance.

 Yeah once I put up that performance and listened to it for the second time I could see where the fizz went out of it when they started missing beats ... somtimes live performances on youtube sound really good at the beginning and getting into it but not at the end.

Some of the worst shows I have ever been to had nothing to do with the band and everything to do with the sound system and crew.  I hated Metallica for years because I saw them open for Ozzy and they blew chunks.  several years later I saw them at the Monsters of Rock show and they were awesome.  The difference between being an opening act and a major headliner.

Ratt musically was good but the singer was terrible.  Dokken was tight but Don Dokken's voice couldn't hold up to the touring.  It seemed like it was about to give out both times I saw them. 

Poison was surprisingly good.  Tesla is a great band to see live.  Kix is another great live band and they are still playing.

L.A. Guns were real good live to.  I saw them at a bar when I was in high school.  The bar did teen nights once a week and had them in right after they released their first album.  Cool as hell to see an up and coming band in such a small venue.  Especially at that age.

Sammy Hagar awesome live.

 Yep I guess thats why they are called up and comers.
 
 What always got me was the opening act would be playing thru the same P.A. that the headliner would later play thru.
 
 With the opening act it sounded like a wall of mush and I guess it had to do with who they had mixing the boards out in the audience for their band
 
 Then the main act would come on thru the same P.A. and blow doors off with their sound engineer !
 
 This didnt always happen but it happened so many times you got to notice it after awhile.
 
 Duck I have a story about a band called STYX and JJ applying for the gig as their sound engineer.
 
 Styx management was located in a garage near Smith's Field in Chicago,
 
 JJ went in there and bluffed his way through the whole interview ...
 
 "Yeah I can handle two 20 track mixers no problem!"
 
 They wanted to hire me on the spot and go to Minnieapolis to open for Three Dog Night.
 
 JJ knowing he was WAY in over his head declined and said he had a day job he was commited to and couldnt do it that fast.
 
 If JJ had taken them up on the offer ...
 
 you would have never heard from JJ again ...
 
 being sliced into little pieces and left over the Minnisota plains after **** up their sound mix.  :D
 
 Now heres where it gets wierd at .... a few years later my ex-sister in law bought a house from one of the Styx band members in the southern Chicago suburbs.
 
 Just kept bumping into them.

There are some concerts that the sound is so freaking loud that it just messes the sound up so bad it's hard to understand what's going on soundwise. Saw Kiss twice, they were the best band I've ever seen as far as crowd pleasing. They toured with Queensryche who was excellent and.....W.A.S.P. Ugggh. They threw out meat into the audience and posters of themselves. They sucked as did their music and the crowd booed them, lol. Rush was pretty good live. Their warmup group was some Gallagher that I knew nothing of and have totally forgotten. Saw ZZ Top cheap sunglasses tour with 38 Special. Laser light show extravaganza! Saw Tesla live and they rocked. VH with Hagar was excellent! Saw Cinderella a few years back. Singer was all jacked up with a cold but they were good. Two groups I wanted to see but never got the chance; Def Leppard in their prime and 87' Heart with Denny Carmassi on drums.

 Sporty what got me was I was working 6-7 days a week in the 80's and 90's... never got to see any of them. The only way I saw them was MTV.
 
 Everyone of the bands you mention passed thru Long Beach CA.

Smoked some ribs for the family today so my wife would not have to cook.  Best ribs I ever made.

I follow the directions from here.  http://amazingribs.com/recipes/porknography/best_BBQ_ribs_ever.html

The only difference this time was I used a thicker slab of ribs. Turned out way better.  The meat and bark were pulling away from the bone as we cut them.  First time I have ever made the fall off the bone ribs people rave about.  Although most times people boil them to get that which gets rid of flavor.  These were just cooked low and slow for 7 hours on the smoker.

Beef Roast of your choice.

Crock pot on low the night before 1 half cup water, 2 beef bullion cubes.

The next morning add 1 capful white vinegar, 1 packet Italian seasoning (we use zesty even though the recipe says specifically not to.  We like it better because it adds way more flavor).  Two tablespoons of oregano and one table spoon of garlic salt.

Then when you get home from work tear it apart a half hour before serving.  Serve it on Hogie rolls or your bread of choice (toasted is better).  It is moist so it makes lessor breads soggy.

I like to saute some onions, peppers and sometimes mushrooms in olive oil and garlic to top it.  We also top the sandwiches with cheese.  Whatever kind you like.  Of course you can buy the pickled veggie thing in the store to top it with also if you are into that.

This is the crock pot version.  If you are talking about the recipe for doing it on the grill use the one on the site I posted for the ribs.  They have tons of excellent grilling and smoker recipes.  It is my go to website for that sort of thing.

Pekin - Great job on the ribs, that is one of the tougher cuts to get right.

Sporty - Get a 4 pound Boston Butt...

Here is my recipe that is as simple as there is...

Heavily season the BB.  Take a cast iron skillet and sear the edges good all around the meat.  Slice a whole onion and a clove of garlic and cover the bottom of a crockpot.  Place the butt on top of the onion and that is it.  Do not add water or juice or any liquid.  Onion, garlic optional, and butt.  Set on low and let cook for 8 hours.  At 8 hours, turn off crock pot and let butt stay in sealed crockpot.  Start a charcoal grill and get it ready.  When the charcoal is ready, move the coals all to one side, and throw some soaked wood chips on top of the coals.  Remove the butt from the crockpot and separate the meat and spread around an aluminum foil pan.  Place the butt on the other side and cover.  I let it smoke 20 - 30 minutes stirring the meat occasionally to let it all get smoked.

Then sauce it as you put it on your sandwich, don't drown the whole batch in sauce.  I like mine with a little sweet heat from Martin's BBQ ( a local joint) and topped with a bit of coleslaw.  It is perfect every time.

Grizz, we cooked a boston butt in the slow cooker a week or so back, it had good flavor but was really greasy because it didn't cook hot enough to cook the fat out.
Does your smoker method at the end help cook some of the grease out?

For pulled pork, the butt is the way to go.  You cant pull a loin because it is way too lean and doesn't have enough fat in it.

 I apply everything to a common denominator :
 
 The Swansons Hungry Man 16 oz. Roasted Carved Turkey White Meat.
 
 420 calories all stuffed into 16 oz's.
 
 Its not about the size ... its about the calories.
 
 Two Snickers candy bars ... 500 calories in 5 oz's.
 
 If you drank a gallon of water you would weigh 8 lbs.more.
 
 However you put in ZERO calaries.
 
 Even while sleeping you are burning off 80 calories per hour.

Yep. The wife was even surprised. Didn't think a half hour of smoking would flavor the meat but it sure did. Think we need a bit bigger crock pot, though. Had to chop the thing up into a few slices to fit in nooks in there.

 Lowell George met Bill Payne when George was a member of Frank Zappa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa)'s Mothers of Invention (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothers_of_Invention). Payne had auditioned (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audition) for the Mothers, but had not joined. They formed Little Feat along with former Mothers' bassist Roy Estrada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Estrada) and drummer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drummer) Richie Hayward (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richie_Hayward) from George's previous band, the Factory.
 
 Hayward had also been a member of The Fraternity of Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternity_of_Man) whose claim to fame was the inclusion of their "Don't Bogart Me" on the million-selling Easy Rider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Rider_(soundtrack)) film soundtrack.
 
 The name of the band came from a comment made by Mothers' drummer Jimmy Carl Black (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carl_Black) about Lowell's "little feet." The spelling of "feat" was an homage to The Beatles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles).
 
 There are three stories about the genesis of Little Feat. One has it that George showed Zappa his song "Willin'," and that Zappa fired him from the Mothers of Invention (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothers_of_Invention), because he felt that George was too talented to merely be a member of his band, and told him he ought to go away and form his own band.
 
 The second version has Zappa firing him for playing a 15-minute guitar solo with his amplifier off.
 
  The third version says that Zappa fired him because "Willin'" contains drug references ("weed, whites and wine"). George often introduced the song as the reason he was asked to leave the band. On October 18, 1975 at the Auditorium Theater in Rochester New York while introducing the song, George commented that he was asked to leave the band for "writing a song about dope".
    In any version, Zappa was instrumental in getting George and his new band a contract with Warner Bros. Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records). The eponymous first album (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Feat_(album)) delivered to Warner Bros. was recorded mostly in August and September 1970, and was released in January 1971.
 
 When it came time to record "Willin'," George had hurt his hand in an accident with a model airplane, so Ry Cooder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry_Cooder) sat in and played the song's slide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_guitar) part.
 
  Lowell's accident is referenced on the cover art of the band's 1998 album Under the Radar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Radar_(Little_Feat_album)). "Willin'" would be re-recorded with George playing slide for Little Feat's second album Sailin' Shoes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailin%27_Shoes), which was also the first Little Feat album to include cover art by Neon Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Park), who had painted the cover for Zappa's Weasels Ripped My Flesh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasels_Ripped_My_Flesh).
 
 Sometime during the recording of the first two albums, the band members along with ex-Mothers of Invention (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothers_of_Invention) drummer Jimmy Carl Black (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carl_Black) ("the Indian in the group") backed soul singer Nolan Porter on his first album titled "No Apologies."

 Hey ... is this just moi ... or do almost everytime you click onto FOX SPORTS , your trusty computer slows down to a crawl and in some cases locks up ?
 
 And if you want to get rid of it because it sez program not responding ,
 
 if you shut it down you lose all of the sites you have up.
 
 So then you have to start all over again with all the sites.
 
 I also get this during footbal season with NFL.com.
 
 But FOX SPORTS is by far the worst ... and most times you dont even know you are clicking on FOX SPORTS ,
 
 you click on a headline and it directs you to FOX SPORTS.
 
 So you dont even know you are going there unless you read the fine print.
 
 Cant FOX afford more updated servers ?
 
 Youd swear to god these guys are still operating DX 486 servers or some other dinosaurs. :P   :'(   >:(   :(   ???

Griz,  I made your pulled pork.  I actually seasoned it and seared it off yesterday and threw it in the crock pot with onions and garlic so it cooked on low for over 24 hours.  No problems.

It still was juicy, tasty and fell apart.  While I am a smoke fan my wife and one of my kids is not.  So I only put half of it on the grill and smoked it.  Half of us liked it smoked better and half liked the other better.  So I then mixed the two.  Everyone loved it.

So thanks for the tips.  Definitely the way to go.  No way to screw it up.

I am glad it worked out for ya.  It is really hard to screw it up, I would have thought 24 hours was too long.  I usually do a 5 lb butt for about 9 -10 hours on low, and then smoke it after.  Now I know it will be okay if it stays in longer.

Did you see the recent documentary about Levon Helm? Really sad how money caused them so much trouble in the end. Helm died nearly died broke and Danko's widow is living in a low income elderly assisted living home. Robbie got rich from royalties that he doesn't have to share and wont help the others.

 When it came to the brains behind THE BAND, there was none.
 
 All contributed, some figured out how to make more money then others in a group effort. That sucks.
 
 But Levon Helm that son of a ****, who could ever forget him in the film:THE RIGHT STUFF ?
 
 "Hey Ridley you got any Beemins ?"
 
 "Yeah I might have me a stick."
 
 "Well loan me some Ill pay you back later."
 
 "Fair enough. Now youre going to have to honk down on this door with this broom stick. Just wang it awn down."
 
 LATER :
 
'Ridley make a note of this : the meters are jumping off the scales,
 
 I think the damn thing might be busted."
 
 "You go ahead and break it, we'll fix it. Personally I think yer seein things."

Post by: dogstoothe on July 11, 2014, 03:23:05 am
Keys, I have not.  I have read Helm's book This Wheel's On Fire and from that comes quite a bit of tension between Helm and Robertson (with Scorsese) over The Last Waltz.  Seems Robbie and Marty got to be good coke buddies and liked nothing better than looking at themselves in mirrors.  "Way too much Robbie in the movie," is sort of the way Helm put it.  I can see that.  Too much preening.  Now, in Robertson's defense, he's quoted as saying something like "I didn't know ANYBODY at that time that wasn't snorting lines."  Hey, I've got nothing at all against sex drugs and rock-n-roll, but the rock-n-roll is what I want to hear, and it's a damn fine film.  I would love to see the documentary on Helm.  Apparently he was a musician's musician, hugely respected in that world.  In a perfect scenario all the songs should have been copywrited/written by all members of The Band -- like Jackie said.

Lately I've been hearing complete songs in my head.  From start to finish.  Of course these are songs that I've heard hundreds of times before.  I wonder though, if that isn't how artists actually write songs, they hear the song 'out there' in their heads.  In my case, though, this new ability is probably just a manifestation of an advanced stage of alcoholism.

From a cousin in Vesper, Wisconsin:

One day, a very gentle and elderly Wisconsin lady was driving across the high bridge in Green Bay.

As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man ready to jump.

She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, "Please don't jump! Think of your dear mother and father!!

He replied, "My mom and dad are both dead; I'm going to jump."

 She said, "Well, think of your sweet wife and precious children."

 He replied, "I'm not married, and I don't have any kids."

An Irish farmer is out in the field one morning and he spies a leprechaun.  Ol' leprechaun tries to sneak away but the farmer gets him by the coat tail.  "Easy does it there lepry, I do believe I've got three wishes comin'."  "Right," says the leprechaun, "but hurry up, make it snappy, I'm a busy 'chaun this morning."  The farmer scratches his chin, tilts his head in the air, and has a good think.  "C'mon, hurry it up."  "Okay then, hows 'bout a glass of Guinness that never goes dry."  Poof!  In the farmer's hand is a pint of Guinness.  Bottoms up and the pint is down the hatch.  Poof!  It's full up again.  "Well, I'll be damned, you is the real thing."  The farmer drinks the second pint and sure enough it fills right back up again.  "Okay," says the leprechaun, "one down and two more to go, but get with it, hurry it up."  The farmer scratches his chin, tilts his head up in the air, and has another think.  "C'mon, hurry it up."  The farmer looks at his pint, smiles, and says, "Gimme two more of these!"

 It is reported that Robin Williams death was due to asphyxiation.
 
 Now that could be done in one of two ways that your humble narrator knows of :
 
 1. He hung himself.
 
 2. Auto erotica, in which in order to receive sexual pleasure,
 
 the participant masterbates while strangulation occurs.
 
 One of the Carridine brothers took the latter in sexual adventures.
 
 He has yet to report back.

The reports are he hung himself with a belt. Incredibly sad. Very funny actor, loved him as Mork and it seemed he was doing well.

According to Karl Menninger there are three components to suicide: 1. The wish to kill  2. The wish to be killed  3. The wish to die.  Suicide is also very much a taboo -- nobody talks about it, but there is a suicide every nineteen minutes.  More people kill themselves than die in car accidents.  It's a very complicated act, says Menninger in his book Man Against Himself.

 Theres gobs of them out there Dogstoothe,
 
 You post them only to find out theres some legel issue that prevents you from posting them ... so you have to take them down.
 
 This is all some legel stuff about who has rights to the music.
 
 Whats a pisser is we dont know that until we post them and THEN it lets us know it cant be posted.
 
 SO we waste time in the best sort of way only to have it shot down when we post it.
 
 I know ... it sucks ... but thats the way Youtube moves.
 
 Its all about who controls the music and if there is a fight between two parties ... then we can post it only to see it fail to post.
 
 It happens over and over when I try to post Youtube music.

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT.
 
This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School, Kingston, Tennessee by school principal Jody McLeod:
 
"It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country. Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court I am told that saying a prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law.
 
As I understand the law at this time I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate life style"and if someone is offended, that's OK.
 
I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity by dispensing condoms and calling it "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK.
 
I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable" means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem.
 
I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth"and call it "ecology.
 
I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.
 
However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship then Federal Case Law is violated.
 
This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone except GOD and HIS Commandments.
 
Nevertheless, as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical. I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression. For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" and refrain from praying at this time.
 
However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to bless this event please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that's not against the law - yet."
 
One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray. They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the announcer's box.  The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America - the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD."
 
Somehow, Kingston,Tennessee remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the freedom OF religion, not the freedom FROM religion. Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains!

Robert from Madison, WI

Vic, I’m disappointed by the loss today, but encouraged by a few things: 1) The defense played well enough for them to win, which in December on the road says a lot. 2) The passing game was atrocious, but the running game was on point. Rodgers will likely not play like that again this year, and odds are the special teams won’t dog them, either. That will be the last loss of the season.

Did somebody kidnap my real inbox? I was expecting a boxing glove to come out of my laptop when I opened it this morning, instead, my inbox is a place of great encouragement and resolve.

Danny from Robbinsville, NJ

Do you see this loss serving as a late-season kick in the rear that might push the Packers a little harder? Have you come across a situation like this in your experience?

Yes, I have. It was 1979. The Steelers got blown out in San Diego late in the season. Terry Bradshaw threw five interceptions. The impact of the game was that San Diego claimed home field advantage for the playoffs and the Steelers would likely have to go back to San Diego in the postseason, but it all changed when Ted Thompson’s Oilers waltzed into San Diego without Earl Campbell and Dan Pastorini and won an early-round playoff game that sent the AFC title game back to Pittsburgh, where the Steelers beat the Oilers. The moral of the story is don’t think too far ahead. Upsets happen all the time. The Oilers beating the Chargers in San Diego with Rob Carpenter carrying the ball and Gifford Nielsen at quarterback was a huge upset. Nobody likes the prospect of having to go back to Seattle, but there’s a lot of football to be played between now and the NFC title game. First things first: Get there.

Kevin from Bellevue, NE

The Bills got the Packers offense off their game early and kept them there the entire first half. The halftime adjustments with Cobb in the backfield certainly made a difference, but not enough. The defense played well the entire game, which means Capers did fine. So, who are we supposed to be screaming needs to be fired this week?

Nobody needs to be fired. The Packers need to win the one-on-ones. Coach Capers didn’t do fine; his players did fine. It’s always players, not plays. Jon Gruden was being politically correct, but he knows the best plays are worthless without players that can execute them. The Packers didn’t win the one-on-ones on Sunday.

Find a marinade that you like, and soak them for about 30 minutes.  I typically would do something with lime in it so it depends on your taste.  Don't marinade them too long or they end up tasting like the marinade.  You probably already know this, but use the uncooked white shrimp since the pink ones have already been cooked.  When they turn pink, pull them.  I try to keep the seasoning on the simple side with shrimp, and depending on how much spice you want, you can use a good Cajun seasoning.

Ingredients
8 ounces bacon
20 shrimp (21/25 count), shelled, deveined
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons chipotle pepper in adobo
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper


Directions

Soak the bamboo skewers in water, to keep from burning during grilling.

Partially cook the bacon; cut in half, and let cool on paper towels. Wrap the bacon around the shrimp, and skewer with bamboo through the point where the bacon ends meet (to keep from unraveling). Skewer 3 to 5 shrimp per bamboo.

Combine the BBQ sauce, oil, chipotle, lemon juice, mustard, chile flakes, black pepper and cayenne in a blender and puree. Separate the sauce in half, one for basting and one for dipping.

Cook the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a grill over medium heat. When the shrimp begin to turn pink, begin basting with the chipotle sauce.

Serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

For me, I'll just as soon avoid the other 3 quarters, but they are up there.

Trip to Richmond is complete, found a nice small place to have a few meals called Hurley Tavern.  The server suggested Old Bay for the wings, and I was pleasantly surprised.  I'll have to try that when I get home.  Nice selection of local craft beers Legend's Brown Ale and Loose Cannon which was an IPA.  I love local!

About Legend, I found this... didn't write this.  "This beer had a red-brown color and a very prominent caramel aroma, which carried through on the taste as well with a sweet, but not too sweet, flavor.  Not much hops taste on this one. "

Loose Cannon by Heavy Seas Brewing, "Loose Cannon wins people over at first smell. The carefully cultivated interplay of Simcoe, Palisade, and Centennial creates a most fragrant IPA—its nose bursts with notes of grapefruit, herbs, and pine. Bitterness is somewhat subdued by the floral quality that pervades the taste. The color is burnished gold, and the mouthfeel is creamy. A strong malt backbone balances out the triple-hopped beer."

Really nice, I preferred the Legend's but both were fantastic!

Chifan and Wml, you should hit the place if you're ever in the area, near the Innsbrook area

Cheers!

 Chi that works out to .23 per can.


 I once had a friend drop a 30 pack of Bud Light on my doorstep ...


 drank a few ... after a day or two I drank some more.


 After even more days I decided to finish the 30 pack and drink the last 15 to get a buzz and clear them out of my fridge all at once.


 End result : after 15 light beers I walked the 2 blocks down to the corner ,got a six pack of normal beer and got my buzz.


 I don't know what the fascination of lite beer is.


 I used to drink Miller Lite for awhile but it occurred that it wasn't doing anything.

I drink Miller Lite, tastes great and less filling.  And I can drink a boat load of it and not get hammered.  I guess it all depends on what you want.  If I drink craft beers, I drink way less and get wasted.

I like to drink a couple good beers then switch to light beer. 

I am partial to leinenkugel.  I pretty much like every thing they brew. 

Also a good expensive beer I really like is http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/occassional-rarities/chateau-jiahu.htm

To expensive for every day drinking but nice to spring for on special occasions.

It all depends on how long I am going to be drinking.  If all day, Miller Lite is the way to go, because I can keep a great even pace.  If it is for a shorter time, better beers/higher alch does the same thing.  ;)

It's tough work, being alcoholic.  Be careful with the supposed non-alcoholic beers like O'Doul's, because there is just enough of the stuff in there to send that 'craving for more' back to the brain.  You won't get high, but you'll drink every O'Doul in the fridge.

Do they make a regular lager Leinenkugel?   I would imagine they do but that doesn't make it down this far south.  I primarily drink Miller Lite or Pabst as my daily have more than a few beer, but I like to mix in a few flavors or crafts depending on the day of the week, time of year.  For example, I really enjoy the stouts and the brown ales right now while it is cold.  An IPA is good most of the year, Sweetwater 420 is good year round.  Most of the brown ales I have enjoyed are local crafts, Jacklalope Bearwalker is local to Nashville and is amazing and only can be found on tap, although there is a brown in bottle called Cabin Fever by New Holland out of Michigan that is bottled.  For stouts, there is usually a lot to choose from out there that is mass produced and easy to find, I prefer Murphys to Guiness, a little smoother finish in my opinion.

I think I'd like a beer right now!

My favorite beer is Kona Brewing Co.  Their seasonal Castaway IPA is fantastic, and I love Firerock pale ale.  They have an amber called Lavaman Red but sadly it is only in kegs in HI.  They have a brown called Koko Brown that has a hint of coconut that is pretty yummy too.  And they have just teamed up with Bud I think they told us and are starting to distribute more, we are seeing it in Chicago.

I have not tryed them all yet but I am working on it.  Planning on hitting the UFS store today and picking up some.  They have them there for 12.99 a twelve pack in bottles.  I even got a case for 15.99 there once when it was on sale.

Most places have them for 13.99 a twelve pack here.

Strangely I have never tried the original.  I usually get the packs because I can then try lots of different beers.  Or which ever one was my favorite out of them while it is in season.

Their summer shandy is out now and is very good.  Might be a bit sweet for some folks though.  If you like the taste of lemons though it is very refreshing on a hot day.

I like all of their shandys even the orange.  I wasn't sure about that one but had some in a variety pack and went back and bought more.

Berry Weiss was a bit to sweet for my tastes but I am guessing the ladies would love it.

If you love a hoppy beer Helles Yeah is for you.

 However they are re-opening at a different location!  ;D


 As others have posted ... loved the sausage platter !


 Maybe Texas has got it right with the German influence in that area ....


 Steak & sausage ... ! I'd go it one better ... tortillas and craw fish included.


 A complete meal. Along with a limestone salad.

Then again he is one of the few people making real money at our company since he gets 6% and adds house accounts to his commission, and when any new sales person leaves adds those accounts to his also , 500 a month gas money, cell phone and does nothing to earn it.  So maybe he does have his **** wired.

I am not a big tradition guy, things have to stay the same for everything.  But I do miss the two day, on a Saturday and Sunday draft.  Twelve pack of beer, garage tv set to the draft as I wash and wax all of the family fleet of cars.  Then that moment that the Bears select, they go to commercial immediately after they come back, they speak for 30 seconds about the selection and then some team has traded up to the pick after the Bears and they go into squirrel mode chasing the next shiny thing.

But I do miss the two day draft during regular hours, and do not love this late night prime time junk.  And now most of the top selections won't even be in attendance.  Curious.

I was driving home and listening to a sports call-in program, carried by WGN in Chicago on SIRIUS. People were calling in, very upset, about the goat's head that was sent to Cubs owner Tom Ricketts at Wrigley Field.
   
Then some guy called in from Indiana and said, "Why are you people so upset 'cause someone sent a goat's head to Wrigley Field?

Aren't you Chicagoans the same guys that sent a horse's ass to the White House?"
 
I had to pull over.

Went to Austin, TX this weekend and got a chance to drive by the Twin Peaks in Waco.  Exit is blocked off with cops all over the place and there was a police helicopter circling above it all.

I was just glad they weren't slowing traffic.

 Thanks for the update DAL, since no news organizations bothered to post your information.


 If you look at those names it seems some were just motorcycle clubs that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.


 I'm sure they were just biking clubs with no sense of violence.


 They just like to ride their scooters.


 They get a black eye by associating with 1%ers.


 Back in the day in Chicago 1%ers hung by Damen & Cortland ...


 hence the name : DC EAGLES mc .


 On any Friday or Saturday night you could walk up Damen Ave. by Cortland st. and see a BIKER PARTY at the old gas station that the DC EAGLES had converted into their clubhouse.


 OUTLAWS ... HELLS HENCHMAN ... BREAKAWAYS (who broke away from Hells Henchmen) DC Eagles and other clubs ... just having a good time.


 This was in former Congressman DAN ROSTINKOWSKIS District.


 He didn't seem to have any problem with the ongoing party.


 His IN HOUSE home to keep the District seat in the H.O.R. was two blocks away.


 He could have put a stop to it overnight by bringing CHICAGO POLICE down on it.


 Nobody ever did ... just bikers getting drunk & stoned.


 Showing off some of the BEST chopped Harley's in Chicago history!


 It was like a circus ... you went there and watched them perform.


 Somehow between then and now ... things got serious ...


 which is a dammed shame.

 true story


 Greg Lake of Emerson Lake & Palmer (formally from King Crimson) played a Rickenbacker bass.


 He went to the Rickenbacker company in Santa Ana in So. Cal being the most famous Rickenbacker player at the time.


 He wanted a tour of the company to see how Rickenbacker instruments were made.


 They gave him a polite walk though but turned him down on how Rickenbacker's were really made.


 He left in disbelief that they had turned him down the #1 most recognized player of their instruments at the time.


 I dunno ... there's something about Martin guitars also.


 And Selmer saxophones.

JJ is that off the new album or is it old.  The production sounds new but the sound is definitely classic Black Sabbath.

If it is the new one I may have to pick it up.  I assumed it only had one decent song. 

I had only heard the song "God is Dead" off the new one.

Did a search it was recorded in 1971.  I was 1...

However I had heard a lot of the other songs on the album.  I guess I missed that one.  I did own some old Sabbath but not that one.  As most of those songs were on ozzy albums or greatest hits albums.  I may need to pick up some of the older stuff.  It stands up fairly well.  The low tuning was so far ahead of its time.

 For some reason this just wants you to make a stepped octave from

 So help me god I am going to do it dude.


 I just need to hear what it sounds like.


 This is playing in the category of what one would call "mid-range".


 That's where the brass and woodwinds come from.

This is a good "folksy" album.  Bragg and Wilco doing lost Woody Guthrie lyrics.

Man, At the Zoo . . . been awhile.  Some songs stay with you for a different reason, or another reason, than just being a good song.  Every time I hear The Kink's Lola I'm right back in the back seat of my dear old Rambler fumbling with the zipper of a "one that got away" female pair of jeans.

I don't think that's a "live" recording.  It sounds exactly like the cut from the album.  It sure is a great song . . . "I live by the river!"  Let me find another Clash song.

No it's not live.  The live youtubes of The Clash are pretty choppy.  I like this tribute to Montgomery Clift.

This is good exercise for the noggin music muscles . . . and a lot of fun.  I guess, like with everything, some people like opera and some people like hillbilly.  But it's almost always a unanimous opinion within the genre when a song really works.

 Never could see the difference between Rock,Punk,New Wave,Rap,Alternative ...


 the ENERGY was there ...


 it wasn't Disco Hip Hop Pop dance music made by a corporation.


 There's a dividing line in your soul when it comes to music,


 one effects you when it comes to music ,


 the other soothes you into numbness. Allow moi to demonstrate :

 The great thing about it is it's all the same ...


 only your mind thinks one is better over the other.


 Actually you get a kick out of all of them and you know it. :D

 There's dissonance and consonance in music.


 With out one ... the other cannot exist.


 Otherwise it's mush ... and we don't want that ...
