The turbo encabulator is not exactly a new development, but current energy prices are making that sort of technology more and more cost-effective. Here’s a video that explains in fairly clear layman’s terms how it works and the theory behind its operation.

University of Texas anthem premiers in Austin
May 12, 1903On this day in 1903, “The Eyes of Texas” was first sung. The performance took place at a minstrel show benefiting the University of Texas track team at the Hancock Opera House in Austin. The ditty soon became the official song of the University of Texas, and is even considered to be the unofficial state song. (Enthusiasts of this are rare at College Station.) William L. Prather, an alumnus of Washington College (Lexington, Virginia) and president of UT from 1899 to 1905, had often in his student days heard Robert E. Lee, then president of Washington College, say to students, “The eyes of the South are upon you.” Prather altered the saying for use at UT.

Good morning, Hamsterville. I’m up early to volunteer for the 2nd Saturday morning work session at a butterfly garden. It’s being created on the grounds of the former Inwood Country Club and Golf Course, which now belongs to CoH. The clubhouse is being rehabbed as a conference center, under the direction of the Near Northwest Management District. They hope eventually to have a full-fledged botanical garden at the White Oak Conference Center. The butterfly garden is the first step.
Big shrubs were planted last Saturday, and we’re doing small plants today. Rain or shine, they say!

#4 – I thought that song was “I’ve Been Working On the Railroad.” At least that’s the way they taught us to sing it at ____________ U.
I had heard that the Obummer administration had order 10 million of those turbo encabulators for use in future fuel saving tests just based on this commercial, coupled with Algore’s endorsement of the product.

Good morning Hamsters. Bet the turbo encabulator has a disgronificator with it. 🙂
But on to more pressing matters–the weather. Thursday through 6 am today we’ve had 12.05″ here on the soggy moors north of the Brazos at Richmond. Starting around 9:30 last night the train of storms following 10 into Houston took a dip southeast and began targeting us. That lasted steadily all night until a little after 6 and dumped 11.4″. We lost power a little after 10:30 pm and didn’t get it back (other than in several seconds bursts) until about 6am. It wasn’t the entire neighborhood, just our street on both sides. Center Point was out off and on all night trying to find the problem area, which was quite a job considering the monsoon.
We haven’t had water this high near the house in decades. In the early 80s we survived 13″ in 13 hours with nothing getting up on the porches, just awfully close. About the same for the infamous Ash Wednesdy Flood when the freeways turned into canals. Allison was too far east to affect us much. Overnight there was water in the barn aisle at either end in low spots, otherwise it appears relatively dry considering the doors weren’t closed all the way. Silly us, thinking that since the string of storms had missed us all evening and nothing much seemed to be forming that it wasn’t necessary to close them or at least one window in each stall. Needed high boots to get to it to feed the girls about 6:30.
Water went over the road behind us, as the twin culverts couldn’t take it all. Drainage is going well since the rain stopped, helped by lots soaking into the drainfields. That’s another advantage of a gravity septic system over the cursed aerobic monstrotisities. The Brazos will be extra high for a few days. Raking and sweeping up the debris will take a while once things dry out. It could have been worse.

This is an excellent, incisive humiliation of the New York Times’ coverage of U.S. tax policy and corporations legal avoidance of same. Particular attention is paid to the dog whistle code language used by Times’ reporters to call out mongrels like the OWS pack of mangy strays.
Contains cusswords, but given the object of this rant even Hamous’ grandmother would approve.
Via Matt Bramanti from GoingConcern.com, an accounting blog:
But the Times is the hatingest hater of all (takes one to know one, amiright?) and they’re so damn good at it because they hire the best researchers, reporters, and editors in the world to split every last hair. Plus, that genteel prose they use is f**king hypnotic, so of course when many people read it the response is, “Well, gosh. That doesn’t seem right, now does it?” Most people fully trust the NYT’s reporting and in this case, it is the reporting of Charles Duhigg and David Kocieniewski.

Mornin’ Gang
Reporting from the trusty Lap-Top since the power is off here. We got 1″ of rain Thursday and 4″ overnight, thank you lord. Thepower went off around 2 and the Reliant guy didn’t get here until 8:30 because they’re real busy. I knew he was here when I heard the transformer down the road asplode. I drove over to the poll that has our breaker and he was getting back in his truck and said he’d send in the A team. Our power is underground and it comes in on lines on either side of the neighborhood. As usual the power on the other side of the street didn’t go out, it’s always our side of the street. 🙁 We’ve had several of these old 30 year old transformers go in the last few years and they usually have them repaired in 1-2 hours! But the power dude said it might be 10-12 hours because there are several hundred people ahead of us. Still Life is Good and I can’t complain. My grandmother went most of her life without lectricity. -

It read more like Newquist’s whining that the NYT uses legal words that he believes the public isn’t smart enough to understand. The most telling sentence:This reporting does nothing but stir people up because they freak out over the big numbers and misinterpret the language.
Most folks are aware that avoiding taxes is legal while evading taxes is not. The article specifically points out that Apple is legally avoiding taxes. I think Americans are smarter than Newquist gives them credit for. And if they’re not, they’re most likely not reading NYT.
Tax shaming is a systemic narrative inside the Times that is being advanced for God knows what reason.
As to the charge of tax shaming, class conflict is a cornerstone of American reporting, e.g., President Obama had 15 vacations this year – how many did you have?. If Mr. Newquist is relying on the almighty to explain how newspapers are sold, he clearly needs to pick up the NYDN and broaden his horizons.

“Elite” quarterback Vince Young finally found someone to sign him. He’ll be competing for the backup spot with the Bills against Tyler Thigpen (who??).
The guy couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him the c and the t.
I sure hope VY’s invested his $50 million earnings well but, given the history of professional athletes, I suspect he’ll be living under a bridge in 10 years. He would be wise to talk to another Houston phenom Dexter Manley before it’s too late.

NASA PAO once forwarded a call to me from a Stanford PhD who wanted to use our anti-gravity room. I explained he was most likely referring to the “Vomit Comet” that flies parabolas and creates 20 second periods of weightlessness and I could arrange for his use. He was most insistent it was an earthbound anti-gravity room, that he had seen it in a video, and as a taxpayer, demanded to have access. After several days of phone calls, I forwarded him on to my civil servant boss.I figured Stanford also has PhD’s in the arts.

It was just a matter of time before the turbo-encabulator would show up. While GE didn’t invent it, they made the practical application and covered it in patents. I suspect that Rockwell Automation had licensed it and the licensing period has run out.
With the administration’s supposed favoritism of GE, this provides another opportunity for the wingnuts to claim GE has undue influence in the administration. 😉 -

Even the naive and clueless awaken sometimes…
Yet even as Immelt continues to dispense advice to the president, friends tell me, he’s privately rooting for Mitt Romney to win the Republican nomination and defeat Obama in the fall.
A GE spokesman says simply, “Mr. Immelt has not decided to support Gov. Romney.” OK — but the GE “community” sure has. In 2008, GE execs (who often take their giving cues from the guy at the top) gave over five times more to Obama than to McCain. This time around, GE executives have raised nearly twice as much for Romney as for Obama, and Romney isn’t even the nominee yet.
I’m told a clue to Immelt’s disenchantment with the president can be found in GE’s annual letter to shareholders, in which the CEO laments, “We live in a tough era in which the public discourse, in general, is negative . . . American companies, particularly big companies, are vilified,” when “we need to work together to find a better way.”

This is interesting, a P40 has been found in the Egyptian desert.
In what experts consider nothing short of a miracle, a Polish oil company worker recently discovered the plane believed to have been flown by missing Flight Sgt. Dennis Copping. And almost 70 years after the accident, it’s extraordinarily well-preserved.
The fighter’s “state of preservation is incredible,” British military historian Andy Saunders told CNN. “The thing just landed there in the desert and the pilot clearly got out. … It is a complete time capsule really (and) an exceptionally rare find. These things just don’t happen.” -

Fate has handed Mitt Romney, imminent leader of the free world, a nifty way to help pay off some of the horrendous debt Barack Obama has racked up.
According to the GAO via CNS News Service:
“USGS estimates that the Green River Formation contains about 3 trillion barrels of oil, and about half of this may be recoverable, depending on available technology and economic conditions,” Mittal testified.
“The Rand Corporation, a nonprofit research organization, estimates that 30 to 60 percent of the oil shale in the Green River Formation can be recovered,” Mittal told the subcommittee. “At the midpoint of this estimate, almost half of the 3 trillion barrels of oil would be recoverable. This is an amount about equal to the entire world’s proven oil reserves.”

I finished my retreat for the adults going through confirmation prep today, stepping in to give these poor abandoned waifs some make-up time. We spent the morning session going over the structure, gestures, postures, and rituals of the mass and they all got a tour of the church, which helped to tie it all together. The afternoon session was spent in Scripture. Each was given some Scripture to study individually and then we discussed what they came up with. You know the Spirit was working when twice I got the comments “I can’t believe you gave me this Scripture…it really spoke to me / I really needed to read this.” They were awesome with the Scriptures. At the end, I broke out my beads and I showed them how to make rosaries, which they got to take with them. We ended with Mass, and our pastor blessed their rosaries for them afterward. They told me they really enjoyed the day.
Score! I prayed this morning to be a conduit of the Holy Spirit, to be given the words they needed to hear and to provide the information they needed to have. I love it when prayers are answered.
Good day. Good, good day.

Mitt Romney doubled down on his position against same sex marriage, telling graduates at Liberty University Saturday that marriage between “one man and one woman” is an “enduring institution” that should be defended.
Coming just days after President Obama endorsed the right of gays and lesbians to marry, the comment earned Romney a standing ovation from the crowd of more than 30,000 people—the largest crowd Romney has ever addressed as a political candidate–but it was his only mention of the hot button social issue.

Coming just days after President Obama endorsed the right of gays and lesbians to marry, the comment earned Romney a standing ovation from the crowd of more than 30,000 people—the largest crowd Romney has ever addressed as a political candidate–but it was his only mention of the hot button social issue.Romney Defends Marriage, Judeo-Christian Values At Falwell’s Liberty University

Neat!
Now that they have the cult guy out of the way, next year they’ll invite the Pope, followed by a Grand Mufti and Rabbis Amar and Metzger. Although I have doubts that the Pope, Grand Mufti and Chief Rabbis are as eager to ingratiate themselves.
How does Liberty University put it? Oh yeah …….THEO 678 Western and New Religions 3 hours The history, doctrines, and present state of the major cults such as Mormonism, Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventism. The course will also include a study of the Occult Movement. Emphasis is placed on the errors of these groups and on methods and materials for confronting them effectively.

German polizei shot only 85 bullets at people last year. The whole country. The whole year.
Meanwhile, NYPD officers shot 84 bullets at one dude and only managed to wound him. LAPD shot 90 bullets at an unarmed motorist a couple of weeks ago, fatally wounding him.

An interesting fund raising tidbit
Romney finishes the night at the Star Island manse of pharmaceutical magnate Phil and Pat Frost where dinner costs $50,000. In between, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. there’s a fundraiser at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.
Phil Frost is the Chairman of the Board for Teva Pharmaceuticals which supplies abortofascients to Planned Parenthood. Perhaps Frost can arrange for Governor Romney to speak at their next fundraiser during his swing through Houston. 😉

Last night at this time the monsoon had already started here, and the lights were out for the second time. Little did we know it would be continuous until about 6:30 this morning. Nobody slept much last night, us, Mariposa, or the mares in the barn. Or the steadfast Center Point folks who spent much of the night trying to find the problem in the power lines serving our one street. Kudos to them.
Neighbors next door likewise didn’t get much sleep, concerned about their horses in their barn, which they couldn’t see other than by lightning bolt illumination. We both thought one lightning strike was very close to our houses as the thunder clap was just about instantaneous and deafening. Did not find any evidence of a strike this morning, but it had to be awfully close by. Cleanup began this afternoon, but much remains until the debris dries out better.
Drove around the neighborhood to see how others fared and saw lots of water standing high up in yards and pastures, and some homes looked to be completely surrounded with maybe water inside. Good idea for anyone looking for property to check out prospective areas after a deluge to see what is flooded and what is not. Luckily only a few puddles remained in the pastures and yard by late this afternoon. Surely the soil moisture just got a huge boost.
G’night all.

The video posted at the top must be really old. these days you can easily buy solid-state (generally FET) disformers that will supply all of the magneto-reluctance you need for a Milford trunion and don’t have the risk of any kind of depleneration; the turbo-encabulator prevents sinusoidal depleneration but does nothing to solve linear or transverse nonellipsoid plenerations of either vector direction.
But honestly, the entire magneto-reluctance technology is so 20th century. Today we can use hyper-phase micro-farkians to supply meta-phasic energy and thus derive photo-reluctance, without all of the side effects and toxic waste that come from magneto-reluctance.

The driving force behind the great era of country music
Fiddler Bob Wills dies
May 13, 1975On this day in 1975, Texas swing musician James Robert (Bob) Wills died. He was born in 1905, near Kosse, Limestone County, Texas. In 1913 his family moved to Hall County, where Wills learned to play the fiddle; in 1915 he played at his first dance. He played for ranch dances in West Texas for the next fourteen years, and his life and career were greatly influenced by that environment. During that time he brought together two streams of American folk music to produce western swing. He had learned frontier fiddle music from his father and grandfather, and blues from black playmates and coworkers in the cottonfields of East and West Texas. In 1929 Wills moved to Fort Worth, where he performed on several radio stations, organized a band that became the Light Crust Doughboys, and worked for a future governor of Texas and United States senator, W. Lee O’Daniel. In 1934 Wills moved to Oklahoma, where he made radio and musical history with his broadcasts over Station KVOO. During his years in Tulsa (1934-43) he and his new group, the Texas Playboys, continued to develop the swinging western sound he had pioneered in West Texas, and his recording of his composition “New San Antonio Rose” (1940) made him a national figure in popular music. By the time of his death in 1975, he had received numerous honors, including a Grammy Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

RINOs? I would suggest that for years they were at the top of the pecking order and were very much REPUBLICAN and represented the REPUBLICAN PARTY quite well and wore their REPUBLICAN PARTY badge with pride.
If there are any RINOs in the party it is the new guys.

We put over 130K on a Windstar minivan before the transmission (the thing with the gears, not the other kind) started to crap out. I had a hard coolant line corrode and break, ignition module go out, and finally the trans but those were the only problems with the vehicle.

While I was aware that radioactivity sensors are located in ports of entry, I was unaware that they had been issued to police. This fellow was administered a radioactive isotope as part of a stress test. When his car passed a detector equipped police car it set off an alarm that caused him to be pulled over.
Though the amount of radioactive material used in the test is relatively low — equal to a few X-rays or a diagnostic CT scan — it was enough to set off a radioactivity detector in the state police car. The detectors are used to help identify potential terror threats.

Senators Hatch and Lugar did indeed represent the Republican Party and by extension the nation well. I can well remember when Senators Orin Hatch and Alan K. Simpson were the goto guys for the conservative viewpoint on the Sunday Morning Talking Heads extravaganzas.
I like and respect these guys, but I think they are in the same straits as an aging athlete long past his good years. It is time to retire and I wish that Senator Hatch had done so with more grace rather than renacting his own The Last Hurrah.
I also believe that goverment service is a responsibility that should be shared. It should not be a life long career. The system needs a little dose of fresh blood from time to time even if it is stupid blood.
Then again, I could be really wrong.

Good news from the Fort Bend ISD trustee elections Saturday. Two of the three Tea Party candidates won seats and the third was a close second. Perhaps the two winners will be able to help the current conservatives control the wild-eyed spending proposed by former and some current members of the board. Fort Bend ISD is $1.6 Billion in debt and has been kicking the can down the road while proposing things like spending $18 Million on iPads for 2nd-8th graders. 🙁 Good grief.
I couldn’t vote since I don’t live in that district, but I sure am proud to join my compatriots in supporting them the best we could to help get out the vote.

I guess there’s a couple billion dollars in loose change rattling around in Washington. Republicans want to place a missile defense site on the East coast. I don’t believe the cost includes paying the Iranians to develop a missile and warhead so we could shoot it down, but you never know.
A new Republican plan to set up a missile defense site on the East Coast has attracted election-year fireworks, with Democrats accusing the GOP of pushing the idea to undercut President Obama’s national-security credentials.

Democrats train House members to use race card on Conservatives:
Then, in typically Obama-like cynical fashion, she explained how to lure white voters to her side even while crying racism: “Don’t make the mistake of telling them they’re in the problem. It’s emotional connection, not rational connection that we need … Explain how each racial group is affected (recognize the unique pain of each group), but start with people who are White … then raise racial disparities.” The line she offered to bait whites into joining her own inherently racist cause? “Homeownership is the American Dream. It hurts the same to lose your home if you’re White, Asian, Latino or Black.”

But I was “out there” LIVE dancing with some of the most rapidly changing conditions I’ve seen on a radar signature in a long LONG time……………I took one last gander at the radar and picked my path (Arlington being the Friday evening destination)……..I rolled at approx 5 pm Friday with my initial thought I would head for Brookshire then Hempstead then north on 6……….in only 15-20 minutes I was north of Brookshire at Pattison………….what I was seeing to the north and west did NOT match what I remembered seeing radar-wise b4 I rolled – I pulled over and scanned intellicast radar on my trusty Crackberry – WOW in only 20 minutes no less than FOUR new (and red / yellow) cells had blossomed in my path————-Hey 6 was no longer looking good at ALL – and even though I saw yet another NEW cell to my west – it appeared that returning to I-10 and cutting west to Columbus was now the least painful prospect……so I took the lovely little river road known as FM1458 and looped back around to San Felipe – stopped on the eastern edge of Sealy and suited up for the onslaught – darn near drowned getting past Sealy to Columbus (at one point only doing 45mph on westboud I -10 with my flashers on)…………made it through aok with a bit more rain just before Columbus – then NW on TX71 – stopping at LaGrange to check radar once again – at that point west to Austin was a NO GO but north on US77 to Waco was clear so I took that path…………..I had not been on 77 in a while and that was a NICE choice – light traffic and a cop in front of me leading the way at 80+ mph………………finally reaching the northen edge of Waco (aka Elm Mott) I suppered at Whataburger and began the waiting game – as 2 HUGE cells were assaulting DFW – and one tiny RED cell right over Hillsboro (a scant 35 miles north of me) ……….I sat there approx 1.5 hours and finally the storms slipped east and subsided – the remainder of the trip was rain free and I caught up with my Sis around midnight for some cold beverages and karaoke in far south Arlington followed by a blessedly relieving soak in her hot tub while kibitzing with her & her date – I dare say we prolly didn’t crash until 0400 or so………then up at 8 for my primary part of the journey – aka BACA FtWorth chapter’s 2 adoptions up in Denton………..got rained on again but minimal when one considers the mission – 750 miles later Gracie & I are safe in the Katy barn and 4 more HEROES now know what BACA POWER is all about!………….As SD would say LIFE is GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The line she offered to bait whites into joining her own inherently racist cause? “Homeownership is the American Dream. It hurts the same to lose your home if you’re White, Asian, Latino or Black.”
I guess that makes me racist, for I believe that to be true.
Sorry to see that you disagree. -

Of course it’s true, why do you think she used it to ‘bait whites”? Shannon is correct, she is a “liar and a scumbag”.

Dude, that was terribly written. I’ll change my sentence to: The most effective use of truth by Satan is that which he uses to lure people into something deceptive. Thus he’s a liar.
