Yesterday at work we had a priest from St. Leo’s come in and bless the school. Students and teachers were invited to participate if they desired. The priest read a prayer and tossed holy water on our heads. It was nice.

Good Friday-Friday morning all:
The most significant event of Christianity.
Beautiful hymn for Good Friday.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIe5CuTwYwk
From the songwriter:
I wrote this song one afternoon after looking up at the cross on my wall. For the first time I realised was – how vulnerable Jesus was – nailed to two pieces of wood, strung up and left to die. I also had an overwhelming sense of Jesus’ unconditional love for us all. This song is as much a prayer as it is a song.
OUTSTRETCHED ARMS
Here am I with outstretched arms
Spread out upon the cross
Waiting to catch your fall
To greet you when you’re lost
And I know that you are frightened
Wondering can you count on me?
But here am I with outstretched arms
That want to comfort theeThe road to life is long and hard
With falls along the way
I’ve walked that road a thousand times
I’ve known each person’s pain
When you think that you cant take it anymore
You can’t go on
I’ll pick you up and take your hand
Then we’ll continue onI hear you calling out my name
But then you turn away
You think that I’ve abandoned you
Not listening when you pray
But you know I had to die
Before I rose on that third day
Believe in me and you will see the wisdom of my waysHere am I with outstretched arms
Spread out upon the cross
Waiting to catch your fall
To greet you when you’re lost
And I know that you are frightened
Wondering can you count on me?
But here am I with outstretched arms
That want to comfort thee -

O.K. Hamsters, it’s also Earth Day. All of you gather round the campfire.
Too bad Peter, Paul and Mary made it a “movement” song, though, it is a nice song and I have many fond memories as a teen on youth group outings singing it. -

The Federal Aviation Administration fired an air traffic controller when he was caught watching a movie on his computer while at work in the tower.
The controller said he was only watching a movie because he couldn’t sleep.

Here is another fine example of the trend of violence in fast food restaurants. Two black females beating the hell out of a white patron, while several black employees stand by and watch. One black male manages to provide the facade of assistance to the white victim in this brutal attack.
The two black females exit, then re-enter the store to continue the beating, until a an older white woman att More..empts to stop them from dragging the white victim outside into the parking lot. note: the black male employees have disappeared from camera view, even though they are plenty well capable of stopping the attack.
At the end, the white victim is beaten until she has a seizure, at which point the camera operator warns the black female attackers to flee, because the police are on the way. Note: he makes sure to repeatedly tell the criminal attackers to flee, instead of keeping them there for the police to apprehend.
Most likely another situation where folks didn’t grow up respecting their parents or authority.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — With gas prices pushing $4 a gallon, a lot of people are trying to stretch their dollar at the gas pump, but some of them are trying to stretch it a little too far.
Since the beginning of March, AAA has seen an 18 percent increase in the number of roadside calls for people running out of gas.
As for the high gas prices, “get used to it”.

About as sickening as you can get. The girls, camera guy AND the employees that made no attempt to help need to be staked out to a fire and mound in July and allowed to reflect on their actions.

Since Dee retired she says she needs more “outside interests”. I thought I’d surprise her.
I went to Lowes and bought her with a brand new fancy lawn mower.

While I’d agree that’s what they may “deserve”, unfortunately it is not the right choice of inflicting punishment. In reality what sickens me further is that the girls in the police station will probably say they’re sorry about causing that lady to go into a ceasure and then follow up with a “but…”. That they’ll do so with no visible capability that they could have simply left that lady alone to begin with.

Happy Good Friday all.
Well, finally got around to watching this video suggested by GTO. Quite impressive.
Which then led to this video. Also impressive, but…
… call me a bass purist, but I think once you start moving too far beyond 4 strings it’s just getting a little silly.

Before I sign off for now and head away from my newfound fellow Catholic patrons (can I have a beer now that I’m Catholic?) I’d just like to point out how yesterday I made a post about Gary Johnson running for president in post #96. After posting that there was no followup posts mentioning “authoritarian” or “social cons”.
Ahhhhh, the peaceful bliss. I feel my blood pressure going down already.

#13 Geezer: I hope you got her one of these. I have one, a couple of years old, and it usually starts on the 1st pull, fills the bag completely and rarely clogs and goes just as fast as I deem appropriate. Well worth the money.

can I have a beer now that I’m Catholic?
Reminds me of an old joke:
Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But, all of Bubba’s neighbors were Catholic…. And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday.
The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.
The Priest came to visit Bubba, and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass….. and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, “You were born a Baptist,and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic.
“Bubba’s neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors, and, as he rushed into Bubba’s yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: “You wuz born a deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish.”

#15 Doooooooooooooode: I will stipulate that I have “0” talent when it comes to stringed instruments, I have come to the conclusion that 6 is prolly the max number of strings on a bass that could truly be considered fully functional. In the 11 stringed video, I never saw him hit the lowest register (top o the neck) strings; I figger it is just too much of a stretch.

I watched the video. I simply cannot wrap my mind around this type of behavior – either by the attackers or the spectators. The manager just calmly walks by the girl having a seizure on the floor? Like she’s a leftover burger wrapper?
Every wissing member of that crew needs to be fired and tried for something. That little old lady that tried to help, I hope she gets some kind of commendation. Those criminals could just have easily turned on her, and she was obviously aware of what they could and would do.

And I’m sorry, racism runs both ways. If there was a non-racist argument between the attackers and the victim, that’s one thing. For the black crew to treat this event so cavalierly is another. If there’s no public outrage over this shows a whole other picture again.

If the voters vote from the pocketbook like they do most of time, our hopefully one term President will not get reelected. And all signs in our economy indicate we are not anywhere near in a recovery mode. The last groups to be affected by the recession are those groups that most benefited from “Big Government” and they are the governments themselves at all levels (local, state and federal) and the school districts who got government money and wasted it on fancy schools and fancy stadiums like the well would never go dry. Both the governments and school districts have over administered things and forgot their responsibilities to the people and the students.
I, for one, say let the federal government go into bankruptcy and FORCE it to reorganize and get out of things they are not constitutionally obligated to be involved in. I was kinda hoping the “land of fruits and nuts” (California) would go into bankruptcy first so that we could get a mini version of what would happen if a government filed for bankruptcy. Actually, that might still happen.

Good Friday is the ultimate Earth Day. Didn’t Jesus die to save the world?
Oh, wait – he saved the souls of the parasitic species inhabiting all the private and public parts of Gaia.
Sorry for the confusion.

After the violent videos of this morning, I present Comedy Gold.
This is a vidoe of the loser in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Ms. Doppleganger, announcing that she’s requesting a recount—after losing by more than 7,000 votes.
The best part starts at about 1:30 in. (H/T Hot Air) Bonus goodness is in looking at the various females in the “Liberal Uniform.” Watch the vid and you’ll see what I mean. These folks have gotten to the point where we can pick them out in a crowd before they even open thier mouths.

#33 – That video of the doofus who was the union representative running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court demonstrates more clearly than anything I’ve seen lately what a puppet she is. She doesn’t know whether she is washing or hanging out – she’s just parroting the talking points and taking the actions dictated to her by her union handlers. The goal of course is to steal the election, which seems to be outside the margin of fraud, and absent that, try to marginalize the winner to the point that no one else will come to his defense lest they be subjected to union thuggery as well. But of course, the Thug in Chief does not dare condem this behavior since he is also subject to the same handlers’ actions.

#34 – No problem plugging in your Volt on Earth Day. You see, electric automobiles draw their power only from green sources or magically out of the ground while the evil incandescent light bulbs and the like draw their power from dirty coal fired plants which must be stamped out. You obviously don’t know things like this or you would never even have to ask such a stupid question.

Why Johnny and Jane Can’t Think or Write
After spending four depressing days this month at a meeting of 3,000 writing teachers in Atlanta, I can tell you that their parent group, the Conference on College Composition and Communication, is not really interested in teaching students to write and communicate clearly. The group’s agenda, clear to me after sampling as many of the meeting’s 500 panels as I could, is devoted to disparaging grammar, logic, reason, evidence and fairness as instruments of white oppression. They believe rules of grammar discriminate against “marginalized” groups and restrict self-expression.
and Texas was well-represented by Drew Loewe of St. Edwards University in Austin:
After congratulating attendees for their intelligence proven by their contempt for Glenn Beck, Drew Loewe, from St. Edwards’ University, launched into what he saw as Beck’s misuse and misrepresentation of the word, “Constitution” (“’Constitution’ as Ideograph: What Hundreds of Glenn Beck Transcripts Can Teach Us”). Loewe’s study revealed that the word “Constitution” appears most often and functions thereby as a populist “ideograph,” a “wellspring for group consensus,” and therefore a building block for a certain ideology–in Beck’s case, “reactionary.” Even the historical and legal scholars on Beck’s program have nothing of substance to say about the Constitution, Loewe maintained.
while from College Station we have the following offering:
Hip-hop artist Willie Northpole, however, offers hope in the form of a “black-brown alliance,” according to Marcos Del Hierro, from Texas A&M. I caught the thesis from the video: “they did it to the blacks, they did it to the natives.” The notion that borders are “fixed,” as the Tea Party maintains, is not a legitimate claim. Students study protest slogans like “the people united” in Spanish and “bodies”–protestors who create a “purposeful space” to “re-member” bodies “dismembered by colonization.”
Those of you who have had the occasion to interview new college graduates seeking employment in the last 15 years or so will remember the sick feeling of realizing the young person in front of you has no clue how to write or communicate while your tax dollars have just funded most of his or her 4 year “education”.
This is your post-modern, deconstructionist higher education system and it was announced this week American total college loan debt has, for the first time, exceeded total credit card debt in the USA.

Saw that too. How nice is it going to be for those graduates getting out of school to find out that if they’re lucky enough to even find a job, it’s going to be making a pretty small salary. Nothing like starting out your professional life in debt hell, eh?

In the 11 stringed video, I never saw him hit the lowest register (top o the neck) strings; I figger it is just too much of a stretch.
Yeah, that’s kind of where I was going. It’s a cool novelty but ergonomically ridiculous.

I’m having a hard time understanding why our country’s financial condition will fall into disarray if we stop borrowing money – which can only occur if we cap off the debt limit. Congress cannot stop spending money because it is addicted to the high associated with a powerful position which can be retained by providing favors to the electorate which not penalizing other members of the electorate – so, spend the money but make sure it comes from a third party provider (think China, Japan, etc.) or even just printing a few extra notes (who would ever notice a few trillion in funny money given the scope of our finances) if necessary. Nobody ever borrowed themselves into prosperity. Even the Rep’s are again making noises about being willing to compromise to expand the debt limit, and this time they are expecting something more than just a few magic beans in return. We’re doomed unless the spigot is turned off and we figure out how to live within our means. Obama’s death panels are a start perhaps, but I think we can do better and still have people (other than the privileged few) living beyond age 65.

Congress cannot stop spending money because it is addicted to the high associated with a powerful position which can be retained by providing favors to the electorate which not penalizing other members of the electorate – so, spend the money but make sure it comes from a third party provider (think China, Japan, etc.) or even just printing a few extra notes (who would ever notice a few trillion in funny money given the scope of our finances) if necessary. Nobody ever borrowed themselves into prosperity. Even the Rep’s are again making noises about being willing to compromise to expand the debt limit, and this time they are expecting something more than just a few magic beans in return. We’re doomed unless the spigot is turned off and we figure out how to live within our means. Obama’s death panels are a start perhaps, but I think we can do better and still have people (other than the privileged few) living beyond age 65.

With applications to law and medical schools plunging this year, it is worth noting the top ten highest paid degrees for 2011 college graduates.
The conventional wisdom of recent years has medical and legal fields as the highest paid, but it seems those career paths have been oversold and along with the rest of higher ed are collapsing with the bubble.
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the Top Ten starting salaries were:
Chemical engineering $66,886
Computer science $63,017
Mechanical engineering $60,739
Electrical/electronics & communications engineering $60,646
Computer engineering $60,112
Industrial/manufacturing engineering $58,549
Systems engineering $57,497
Engineering technology $57,176
Information sciences & systems $56,868
Business systems networking/telecommunications $56,808
Hopefully, these students didn’t have to endure writing instruction from any of the professors mentioned in my post in #37.

The problem is that MOST of the kids get out with degrees that really adds little or nothing to their bottom line. That is to say if they could land a decent job at 18 and work hard to work their way up, by the time they turn 22-23 they would be making more than what the newly graduated kid makes. Also they’ll send most of their lives paying the debt off. And in the long run will not break even.

Jes shoot me NOW please!Don’t forget the unintended consequences that student loans caused. The cost of a college degree has shot up several hundred percent since they started. Now it’s impossible for a kid to work his/her way through school because it’s too dang expen$ive. 🙁

Manufacture shmanufacture. I just like to design stuff. Seeing it actually built is a total buzz kill!
🙂
Seriously though, saying that America doesn’t manufacture anything these days is a complete myth. In our case though, mechanical design is done in Canada, controls design done here in Houston, controls fabrication / assy done in Louisianna, and final assembly of the units done in Monterrey, Mexico. From there they are shipped to any number of places. Lots of activity in the far east these days. Actually, they do a good bit of fab over there in Singapore as well.
Truly it is a global economy, but your point is correct. It’s not that we don’t manufacture anything here, it’s a question of what we manufacture here.

Good Friday afternoon, Hamsters. At 6 we had the low for the day at 71, elevator going up since then. But amazingly it was breezy and comfortable enough to have lunch on the covered patio as the humidity is only 47%. The breeze started just around Sunup and has been growing steadily, now sending water from the sprinklers cascading in diamond mists much farther than customary. Newly planted flowerbeds have to be watered every other day, and plants in pots need it every day. Moving the sprinklers and keeping up with the plants = watering the elephants in time consumed and effort.
Answer to the question of whether or not to plug in your Volt–or someone else’s in case you haven’t fallen for that enviro ruse. Given that some nuts think this is Earth Day and not Good Friday or that Earth Day falls on Easter Sunday, do plug a Volt into any handy tree. Guilt for your mere existence is assuaged with this simple action. Nevermind that trees have no outlets–that is obviously an oversight somewhere by Somebody. Carbon debt is wiped out–poof. Guilt is absolved. The few remaining functioning brain cells in your head can commune with jellybeans the Easter Bunny brings, once you comprehend that he is disguised as Kermit the Frog to fit in with the E.D. program.
Carry on.

there is a steady decline in the number of tradesmen, especially plumbing. That’s one profession that will be able to name their price in about 15 years.
They already do. My back was killing me and I had to call “John Moore” out to set a toilet for me. $40.00 for the service call and $90 bucks to set the loo. i provided EVERYTHING except the tools and strong back. He was in and out in less than 10 minutes.
I am not slamming John Moore plumbing here. In fact I gotta commend them cause before they do anything they show you a fee schedule for any service they provide.

Hypocrisy at its best from Texpat’s link in #37
Such political partisanship was accompanied by a presumed effort to present knowledge, “in a broader way,” as it was in “Writing the Real World of Student Work.” The “work” of students employing “hand-mind knowledge” in menial jobs like burger-flipping should be “honored” in the classroom, said a co-director of a “Poverty Studies” program. We need to “think critically about how dirty work can be reframed, recalibrated, or refocused to honor all work and workers,” we were told. The paper “’Wage Slaves’ Speak Out: Midwestern Monologues,” modeled on the Vagina Monologues, similarly illustrated how such “performance” can replace the old worker-unfriendly rhetoric.
It is so refreshing to know that those mean, nasty, conservatives do not value hard work and menial jobs. Those meanies only know how to HATE! They only know how to keep the little guy down.

Yup. That was 5 years ago. My folks had a really bad clog in the pipes underground going to the septic and called them out. It cost them $150 for the guy to snake the pipe, Took about 20 minutes.I think John Moore is a pretty fair company to deal with. Independents will charge much more and you never know when they are going to get there. These guys arrived within 20 minutes of their appointed time.

What a lot of people don’t see in those prices are the overhead costs. We have to carry $1M insurance with the city, not to mention the expense of our equipment (and for the work we do, it’s heavy equipment), the repair/maintenance of the equipment, payroll costs and taxes (of course), and the other crap we have to deal with.
Hubby has had a customer refuse to pay him for unstopping his sewer, saying that since he was only there for ten minutes, he didn’t owe him the full amount. I’d like for him to see how many sewers hubby’s had to unstop to get good enough to do it in ten minutes. Hubby had a coworker go through the same thing. Coworker had some leftover dry concrete in the truck. The customer agreed to pay the bill when he began pouring the concrete in the sewer line. Coworker just told him not to worry about the bill. That customer ended up having to replace part of his sewer line.
And he got away with it.

Let me punctuate my comment. I think the price “John Moore” charged was fair. Before he started the work I KNEW exactly what my costs were going to be. I could have sent him packing if i did not like the charge. The lady I spoke with on the phone told me straight up there was a $40 service charge in addition to the labor no matter what if the guy drove all the out here to the sticks.You customer was a DEADBEAT basshole.

You will have to explain the concept of overhead to the masses until you are blue in the face. It always took quite a bit of self control to calmly explain to a customer that, “No, I do not get to keep 100% of what you just gave me.”

Hmmmm My diagnosis
Often concerned with right and wrong, and punctilious in expressing it, you are best represented by the Customs Agent or the IRS inspector. Initially seen by others as cold or uncaring, you are difficult for those more spontaneous members of society to understand. You are extremely stable, responsible and dependable. You manifest an amazing ability to concentrate on the issue at hand, and are difficult to distract from issues that are important. You manifest a great sense of loyalty to your employers and your government. You tend to show love through a display of committed works, believing that actions speak louder than words. You are also resistant to change and tend to believe that the old ways are best. If a behavior has been successful in the past, why would anyone want to change? You work best in a controlled environment.

Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.

Obama celebrates “Earth Day” Earth Day Ends Obama’s 53,300 Gallon Trip.
President Obama declared today’s 41st annual Earth Day proof of America’s ecological and conservation spirit—then completed a three-day campaign-style trip logging 10,666 miles on Air Force One, eating up some 53,300 gallons at a cost of about $180,000. And that doesn’t include the fuel consumption of his helicopter, limo, or the 29 other vehicles that travel with that car.
BUTT, he wants me to drive a Yugo.

#129: 🙂 Make her watch “The Birds”. She’ll be scarred for life.
OK. I hate chickens. I despise roosters even more. I told the girls iffin’ they built a coop, they could have a couple. Sadly, the project is almost finished. It still needs a roof. They brought 4 chicks home today. (we’re keeping them in a cage) I ran home expecting them to have bought the chicks that were dyed at 3 times the price, plus prolly inbred. Nope. They bought them at the feed store. 2 yellows, 1 black and yellow and of course, a ginger. They love gingers.
Does anyone know how to tell if it’s a rooster as a chick? They only way I can tell is by the comb. Roosters will be eaten. At least the feed store sells them almost all year round. I don’t know nuttin’ about no chickens. Tips would be helpful and appreciated. We’ve got them on starter feed and I know that they can become pets. That’s all I know. /cue in that headless chicken photo from Hambone in fiiiiiive, fooooouuuuur……threeeee

First-year students at Texas A&M Vet school were attending their first
anatomy class, with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery
table with the body covered with a white sheet.
The professor started the class by telling them, “In Veterinary Medicine,
it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor: The first is
that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal body.”
For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the
butt of the dead cow, withdrew it and stuck his finger in his mouth. “Go ahead
and do the same thing,” he told his students.
The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took
turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead cow and
sucking on it.When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said, “The second most
important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my
index finger. Now learn to pay attention. Life’s tough, but it’s even tougher
if you’re stupid.”

Does anyone know how to tell if it’s a rooster as a chick?
ST It’s not easy, but if you hold the chick upside down and gently, I SAID GENTLY, squeeze his/her Cloaca with your finger tips, (warning he/she WILL poop at this time) and LQQk for a small tit/bump close to the exit. If you see it, that would be a rooster, but it’s real hard to tell for sure unless you’re an expert. If it were me, I’d wait about 6 months and have fried chicken if any became roosters. What do you have to lose? 😉

Ran 120 rounds thru my Model 39 S&W 9mm at the range today. That’s a sweet little handgun that I carry around with me just in case.
Got a new hunting toy today too. Bought a new Garmin 60 CSx GPS a while back and then bought a memory card from HuntingGPSmaps.com that has all the topo and public/private land maps for Colorado. Man, that map feature is SWEET!
Eased down to Boyd’s One Stop in Texas City and bought 15lbs of fresh 9-12 headed shrimp.
It was just all good today. The testosterone is flowing at warp speed.

#133 Lawrence, I bet that you’ve had that Model 39 for many moons. The Model 39 and the Browning 9 MM High Power were the most popular, out of the few available, 9 MM’s on the market for many years. This was back when the 38 special was the weapon of choice for all of the police and the 357 was for the Highway Patrol. Of course there were a lot of 1911 45’s but most police dept didn’t allow their use. They were mostly use by local Sheriff depts. Now the 9’s dominate, thanks to modern hollow point bullets. Beats the He!! out of the old hardball stuff. Anywho any day shootin’ is a

If I’m starving, society has fallen to pieces, and there are no other sources of food, I’ll eat ‘em then. But not before.
I know a badask coonask who can cook. We were at a crawfish boil and he brought some turtle creole. Pretty darn tasty but turtle tastes fishy to me. Same with rattlesnake. Go figger. I agree with your statement but you got to at least try it. As for the crawfish and shrimpies, my queen? I say “off with their heads”……..Still got “Maryann’s” head in my neighbors freezer. We really need to make some tamales. Soon. They left the eyeballs in her. 😈
