Well, our President is off on yet ANOTHER vacation. This time, the family will return to Hawaii for seventeen days. POTUS and FLOTUS just returned from a 14 day summit in Hawaii, but I guess they just can’t get enough.
And the MSM yawns.
How many golf games?
How many vacations?
If this were a Republican (not even a conservative, just someone with an “R” by his name), the MSM would be apoplectic. As it is, they cover for him. The Middle East is going up in flames – probably soon, and probably literally – and TBO goes on vacation. There’s a a major pipeline project with Canada that’s been delayed, which (1)damages our relationship with our neighbor, (2)at the cost of much-needed jobs, and (3) further encourages our dependence upon countries which have large populations of people who distrust us or want us dead. What does our POTUS do? Go golfing.
That seems to be his answer to everything. Got a domestic issue, like his friend Holder being roasted over a spit due to Fast & Furious? Go golfing. Got a major world crisis? Go on vacation.
This is a four year old pretending to be a man. He’s a narcissistic popsicle, unable to related to the pain and suffering of others, and unable to see how twisted his behavior appears to others. And Michelle isn’t much better, else she’d pound some sense into him, instead of engaging in her own narcissistic behavior; e.g., taking a jet – and all it entails, seeing as how she’s FLOTUS – because she didn’t want to wait four hours to start her vacation, while her hubby to finish up the duties of his office.
This couple disgusts me. No class. None. Period. Nada. Zilch.

Darren from the Jessica page anoche:
On another blog a poster recently argued that a passage of the Bible demonstrated how God commanded His people to abort babies conceived via adultery inm order to keep the bloodline of the husband pure. While I absolutely, 100% reject this interpretation of scripture, I would like others here to give their tae on it. I will do so only if there’s people here willing to comment. If not, then if anything I’ll present it via the back channels. I’ll check here tomorrow to see if there’s anyone interested in commenting on it via the public forum.
#1 Please give a link to that particular post
#2 If possible, please quote chapter and verse of any commandment to abort a baby.I really wanna check this one out carefully because I don’t think it is there; it is a lib smoke screen and this would be a great time to shove it down their throat.

3 Facing Prison Time In $1M Toilet Paper Scam
November 26, 2011 5:43 PMWEST PALM BEACH (CB4)-A South Florida trio is facing up to two decades in prison after they were allegedly involved in a $1 million toilet paper scam in Palm Beach County.
Federal prosecutors said the three conned elderly customers into buying unnecessary septic products, in some cases more than 70 years worth of toilet paper, CBS4 news partner The Miami Herald reported.
According to the Herald, the three worked for FBK Products of West Palm Beach. They told more than a dozen of their victims that they needed the company’s special toilet paper to avoid ruining their septic tanks. They told their victims that the federal government changed regulations on toilet paper
And now we know where they were going to get the toilet paper:
Report: Thieves target toilet paper at NM diner
APAP – 18 hrs agoALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico restaurant employee says he’s now seen it all, after three men left his diner with rolls of toilet paper and were nabbed in the parking lot by police.
Burgers, Dogs and Wings employee Josh Flannery-Stewart tells KOAT-TV (http://bit.ly/rtVXdL ) in Albuquerque that he was immediately suspicious of the men when they came in Saturday because they weren’t talking and appeared “messed up.”
The three went into the bathroom and emerged carrying about a dozen rolls of toilet paper. They got in a car in the parking lot, but didn’t get far.
Albuquerque police apparently already had the trio under surveillance and quickly surrounded the car and arrested them.
The toilet paper was returned to its rightful owner.

Got an email from some guy named Jor El on Krypton:
Simply send 6 x 10^50 atoms of hydrogen to the star system at the top of the list, cross off that star system, then put your star system at the bottom of the list and send it to 100 other star systems.
Within one-tenth of a galactic rotation you will receive enough hydrogen to power your civilization until entropy reaches its maximum! IT REALLY WORKS!

I’ll step up to bat in favor of the President and his family being on vacation. In fact, we would all be better off if he stayed on vacation, all expenses paid, and $1 million per deim to boot. Now if we could just get Congress to do the same, thing would get better in a hurry.

Crackerette stopped by TSA idiots because here purse had a picture of a revolver embossed on it. A picture. Two inches across.
After TSA agents figured out the gun was a fake, they told her to check the bag or turn it over.

#14 Pyro: I heard about that on the Sam Alone show (am700) this am. Each and every TSA agent involved in that fiasco needs to be fired for sheer stooooooooooooooooopitidy. Clearly they do not have the intellectual firepower to do their jobs. At this point I would suggest that ifn those TSA idjits brains were leather they would not be able to saddle a bug.

#18 Crazy Aunt: Very cool indeed. When my now deceased friend was going through his ordeal, I learned about the voracious sugar appetite of cancer cells. I never could figger why the real “smart guy” researchers didn’t simply attach the chemo-therapy drugs to sugar molecules. The cancer cells take in the sugar, which the cancer considers to be food, but in actuality it is a trojan horse carrying the chemo agent. Another method would be to attach a specific dye to the sugar molecule, this dye would heat up when hit with a laser, this would allow a laser treatment to zap the cancer cells while leaving the healthy cells alone.
The problem is that too much money is being spent by government on research and not anywhere near enough on actually finding the cure. These two concepts are not the same thing, if the big payoff is in finding the cure, then that is what will happen, if the payoff is for research then that is all you will get. There are some brilliant minds involved in the research of cancer, its causes and cures. Unfortunately, there are way more people making a living off of cancer than those who are dying from it.

#19 Pyro: Heck yes! I am not ashamed to admit it but I do not possess the skills necessary to wring out all that car can do. It certainly would be fun developing them though.
On another note, those can be built in kit form that, depending on the chosen powertrain, will rival the original in all performance categories. Carroll Shelby said they really weren’t that great of a handling car, HOWEVER, ifn you put a big enough engine and fat enough tires on that lightweight of a car you can overcome a lot of flaws. -

Good cancer link. I’m blond headed, blue eyed and grew up in Corpus with a fishing rod in my hands. My bi monthly trips to MD Anderson for skin cancer have exposed me to all kinds of cancer research. I’m guessing that within 5-10 years cancer will be a thing of the past. (I hope)

Boney and Pyro
When I got out of USMC Avionics in ’64 I went to work at the Santa Monica airport. I became fairly intimate with the Cobra. I lived about 1/2 mile from Shelby’s shop and could hear him when he cranked up a new one for a test run. (still sends a shiver up my leg) The tin bender at our shop did a lot of the body work on the Bristol’s for Shelby and I went to the shop with him several times and watched them being built. Carol himself was just another gear head, only a lot smarter. Nice guy he was.

This would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad.
In response to the four rockets fired from Lebanon, the IDF pounded the launch sites with artillery shells. The Lebanese report claimed that only one rocket was fired from Lebanon into Israel and that the IDF fired six artillery shells.
Notice that the Lebanese do not deny involvement in firing rockets (an act of war) into Israel, but they are whining to the UN because Israel hit back harder. Once again, I am absolutely amazed at the restraint of Israel.

Israel should have rototilled a 4km square area around the launchers with heavy artillery.
The IDF said it held the Lebanese government responsible for the attacks and that it needed to take action to prevent future rocket fire. Home Front Defense Minister Matan Vilna’i said that “the Lebanese government is responsible for everything that happens in Lebanon and everything that leaves its borders.”

Last week I took a USB drive to my cpa’s office to make a backup in case she made any changes. I forgot to take it out of my pocket, and ran my blue jeans – and the flash drive – through the wash. As soon as I found it in the bottom of the washing machine, I opened it up (it’s one of those where the stick slides in and out) and put it on the kitchen counter.
I just plugged it in – and all of my files are there! I have opened one Word document, and it launched the application and opened the file without a problem.
Amazing. I thought for sure it was fried.
At least not for today.

#29 TT: The biggest stick drive I have ever seen advertised was 64gigs; that is way more memory than what went up on apollo 13. In fact, you could program (I think) an entire functioning computer on that single chip, the only other things needed would be an input device and a monitor. When I consider that most of the bulk of that device is plastic housing, I can only come to one conclusion: why don’t they simply bundle these drives internally on the mother-board and do away with the hard drive? This would make a computer with no internal moving parts and it would be screaming fast and use less juice and would not be as easily damaged ifn it were dropped. The mind reels with the possibilities.
They started to make solid state drives a while ago but they haven’t seemed to catch on and the price, the last time I checked was still way too high. A few months ago I bought a 2 terrabyte external usb drive for $100, this gizmo has moving parts and is likely much more difficult to manufacture than the SSD so why are the SSDs so wissin expensive? -

#30 M42: The point I was trying to make is the outright absurdity of banning family from bringing such items in the first place. That he is now (temporarily) lifting the ban only serves to highlight that it was ever in place. My understanding is that it is still prohibited for our soldiers to have Bibles in their quarters in Afgannystan; what ever happened to the Feds not infringing on our right to worship as we please?

I just plugged it in – and all of my files are there! I have opened one Word document, and it launched the application and opened the file without a problem.
As long as an electronic device is not powered on and has no power available when it gets wet, it will usually make it through immersion in fresh clean water. You have to make sure it’s dry before you try to use it.
When I was a sysadmin, that’s how we fixed keyboards that had a coke spilled on them. We just soaked them in water and let them dry for a couple of days in a warm spot in the office.

You can fit a functioning operating system in under 64k.You can fit Ubuntu Linux, with all the video drivers, etc. in 4GB. I have it installed on a 16GB thumb drive, so I can keep documents, more apps, etc. It will boot on almost anything.

Darren, I’d be more than willing to comment if I had more details. There are plenty of wacko nut jobs out there who are willing to take the fabric of scripture and warp it to fit their own twisted ideas. I don’t believe that you can stay true to the whole of scripture and see abortion as anything other than an abomination.
But, like Wagonburner, if you can give some specifics I’ll be happy to comment specifically.

Actually, solid state memory in multi-GB sizes is still quite difficult to manufacture, requiring manipulation of materials on the nanometer level.

I really hope the foul O tries to get away with this.
President Obama’s team of negotiators at the United Nations Climate Change Conference may agree to a tax on foreign currency transactions, designed to pay for a “Green Climate Fund,” that would fall disproportionately on American travellers and businesses, according to a group attending the conference that is skeptical of the UN position on global warming.
/snip
European countries would evade much of the tax burden, however, because “transactions within the Eurozone won’t have to pay this new tax.”Yes, please try to do that, it wouldn’t succeed but it will shine the light on the lengths this admin and the UN will go to punish the USA. This move, should it be attempted, would likely guarantee strong R majorities and the POTUS for decades and perhaps even get the UN booted out of this country.

You know what is amazing about the Obummers going to Hawaii is, he was only there till he was six years old and he treats it like he was born and raised there forever. How come they seem to forget where they planted their roots, Chicago, Illinois? What, are they trying to get away from all those “bad” influences there or what? One has to wonder where the Obummer presidential library is going, Hawaii or Illinois? But the bigger question is what is going into the library since there doesn’t seem to be any recorded history of Obummer growing up? Oh, well, OTHER people were dumb enough to put him into office, let’s hope they don’t let him stay four more years.

does that kind of clarify things for you
Well, that does give me one opinion. Apparently the subject is too scary for the rest of the guys to even comment about.
I can’t imagine a PSA for mammography or a pap test being so creepy, but then men are famously averse to medical checkups of any kind. I thought maybe it took a really outrageous campaign like the linkie to even get y’all to notice it.

Most CPU’s have a small amount of storage built in. Additional storage is addressed in two ways – RAM is addressed using a dedicated RAM bus structure that ties directly to the CPU. Hard drive storage (either disk or SSD) is addressed using a different data bus structure and data format.
The current wholesale price of quality 64 GB flash memory seems to be hovering in the $25 – $50 range. You can get it cheaper from China but quality becomes an issue – TANSTAAFL!
So , once you’ve paid $400 – 500 for 640 GB of storage, you have to mount the chips on a PC board, give them a controller and firmware to make them work correctly and then package them in a suitable housing. Once you’ve done that, you can tack on 30% – 40% for overhead and profit and whammo – you have a SSD drive!
Instead of asking why computer parts are so expensive (they’re not) ask how much longer the prices can keep falling!

#45 M42: For a straight guy to allow another guy (gay or straight) to stick his finger (or anything else) up his hoo-ha is abhorrent. To allow a straight woman to do it is only slightly less abhorrent if they are not going to be intimate. If they are going to be intimate, I have to wonder how long the guy is going to claim being hetero when he likes that sort of thing.

Those are 64 Gb (bit) chips, correct? Therefore you need 9 of them to get 8-bit bytes +parity, +extra overhead & error correction.Cache (L1) on the processor is very fast and very expensive. Cache (L2) in the same package as the processor is also very fast and very expensive, albeit somewhat less so.
The memory bus is typically pretty wide and relatively fast and is separate from the i/o bus(es) where the disk drives and other devices live. Disk drives (usually/often) have a separate bus from other devices since their speeds and transfer rates have gone up exponentially, while other i/o devices (CD/DVD/network adapters/USB) have not.
While hard disk drives have (relatively) lots of moving parts, the challenges have pretty much been resolved. Most of the parts are sized in the 10’s to 100’s of micrometers (i.e. you can see them). The structures of the current state of the art IC’s are sized in single-digit nanometers (i.e. you need an electron microscope to see them).
Other engineering challenges to IC’s on that scale include how to connect them to their packaging so they are robust enough to handle during manufacture of higher-level devices; how do you dissipate heat well enough that the IC’s are not damaged and the solder does not melt (processors & other IC’s on video cards can heat up so they glow brick red during normal operation); how do you get the density of these things up enough such that you can cram a terabyte or two into the same physical container as a current hard drive (they have to fit into existing laptop and case designs, including electrical & data connections, which require other IC’s to do the driving and translation)?
Dealing with that stuff can require fairly exotic materials and very high-precision placement methods to ensure things end up where they are supposed to. All of the above drives up cost.

I’m still not clear as to what you’re asking.
Is it creepy for a stranger to approach you in a mall and ask to perform a digital exam? You bet it is.
If the video is a humorous attempt at a public service announcement I think they were pretty successful.
I get a PSA (which is a blood test) done every year or two. And will continue to do so whether the government lets the insurance companies off the hook for covering it or not. It’s simply not that expensive.
If my physician wants to do a digital exam, it doesn’t bother me.
Once you’ve had your entire arm up the rear end of of a cow or horse, I guess you get a different perspective.
No big deal. -

Aha, Shannon isn’t bashful. I just wondered it that bizarre video would inspire a man to get a Czech-up, or send him screaming away from the scene. Which I don’t think was a mall, looked like an alley in a bad part of town. The same town that Max Headroom lived in.Thanks for the response, and I see Cowboy gave you some kind of award for your answer.

I’m continually amazed at Senator Cornyn’s innate ability to continue to produce more Crist like, squishy senatorial candidates to run for office. This time it’s Nebraska’s governor who single handily blocked construction of the Canadian oil pipeline to supply our gulf coast refiners with crude. What in the world is that guy (Cornyn) thinking?

When I was about 11 and working out on Doc Anderson’s ranch, I found a cow in the pasture with her water broke and staggering around. I roped her and brought her up to the barn. We called Dr. Lamp in Bellville and he came out. I had her up in the chute and once he checked her out, he looked around, looked down at me sizing up this kid the size of a toothpick. He pulled out some Betadiene and told me to roll up my sleeve. He washed my arm down and cleaned it and then he told me to slide my arm into the womb of the cow.
I thought the man was crazy.
Anyway, I did it and Dr. Lamp was right next to me asking me what I felt and guiding me in what to do. I ended up having to slip a loop attached to a come-a-long in and slip it around the front hooves of the calf which was stillborn. We pulled it, the cow survived fine, but I was pretty up set over losing that little calf.
I got quite an education that day.

My next door neighbor is from DeKalb, Illinois and several years ago after he lost both his parents, he bought a full Shelby Cobra kit from Factory Five to take his mind off his troubles. It took him three years in his spare time to build it from scratch. It sits in the garage next door and he cranks it up every few days. I revel in the sound of it.
He told me at Thanksgiving that he was much happier building the car than actually driving it and that since he has moved here, there is really no place for him to take it out and let it rip.
He would probably sell if you’re interested. Here’s a small part of the front with one of the guitars he builds for sale.

While I never studied Latin per se, I do enjoy looking up Latin words and comparing them to Spanish and Portuguese. With that background, I took “abortifacient” to its Latin roots (in my mind). “Aborti” would be from “abortio” meaning “miscarriage/abortion”. “Facient” would mean “a thing that makes”. So, “abortifacient” literally means, “something to make a miscarriage or abortion”.
Neat, eh? (Linguistically, not the purpose of the drug).

Darren – Numbers 5: What a fantastic example of what can happen to meaning when one translates from one language to another. I still have yet to install my Biblesoft PC5 program on my computer at work. When I get home this afternoon, I will look into that passage in greater depth.
The bitter cup: This concept is used frequently in Scripture. Messiah referred to the cup HE was about to drink from and asked if others could drink from it as well, which they could not. What the lib Jino (Jew in name only) conveniently left out was that if the woman was innocent of adultery, she would suffer no ill effects. The priest would take the water, which if I recall, has some ashes from the burnt red heifer, in it plus some dust from the floor of the temple plus the ink which was washed off of the “complaint” and then she would drink it. I would imagine the water was a bit bitter due to the alkalynity of the ashes and prolly didn’t taste good because it also had ink and dirt in it – hence it was something that no one would want to drink. The operative concept, however, was that if she were innocent, she would suffer no ill effects and would be able to bear children, if not she would likely die a slow, gruesome and painful death.To take this passage, The Law of Jealosy, a little deeper, consider that it is a parable and that we are the woman and HE is the Husband. HE uses that analogy frequently; when we worship strange elohim or in a manner that HE does not prescribe – HE likens it to adultery or harlotry. He frequently refers to HIMSELF as our Husband and if HE is the Husband, we can only be considered the wife or the woman. The bitter cup is death or a potential death sentence if guilty.
We, today, as the woman, are guilty of spiritual adultery. The Torah states that if a man divorces his wife for whatever reason (the man is Elohim and we are the wife and the reason is adultery) and he puts a certificate of divorce in her hand (the complaint form in the Law of Jealousy passage above) she can go and marry someone else. If that new husband should die, she is free from the law concerning her divorce as her husband has died, she can now remarry again anyone whom she wishes EXCEPT HER ORIGINAL HUSBAND. In order for there to be a possibility for her to re-marry her original HUSBAND, one of them must die. Messiah did that for us (Our HUSBAND came down in human form to die) by drinking the bitter cup (figuratively) and nailing the divorce decree to the cross. That freed us from the curse contained in the LAW that we could not remarry our original HUSBAND because HE died and came back to life. HIS death cancelled that curse and put us back into a marriageable state with HIM.
Messiah’s death was necessary to fulfill the Law of Jealousy and that is why HE came.Forgiveness of sins is an Old Testament Concept; all that is required is genuine repentance; if you do not believe that simply read the 18th chapter of Ezekiel.
