I just knew that if I kept coming to this blog long enough I would finally find something useful that I could work with. Thanks for the flow chart Mr. WB – I can use it.

That chart is so true for goatland. This will be a bomb cratered war zone. Add ‘Rice Dressing should be illegal in Texas’ to the chart. Off to see if San Looey Pass is still there.

American utility infrastructure, and their suppliers, are sitting ducks for this type of attack.
The report, which Weiss read to The Washington Post, describes how a series of minor glitches with a water pump gradually escalated to the point where the pump motor was being turned on and off frequently. It soon burned out, according to the report.
and,
“This is a big deal,” said Weiss. “It was tracked to Russia. It has been in the system for at least two to three months. It has caused damage. We don’t know how many other utilities are currently compromised.”
Dave Marcus, director of security research for McAfee Labs, said that the computers that control critical systems in the United States are vulnerable to attacks that come through the Internet, and few operators of these systems know how to detect or defeat these threats. “So many are ill-prepared for cyber-attacks,” Marcus said.
The Illinois report said that hackers broke into a software company’s database and retrieved user names and passwords of control systems that run water plant computer equipment. Using that data, they were able to hack into the plant in Illinois, Weiss said.

Heh. Ancient marshmallow yams of sorrow. I actually like those. Granny always put in pecans and crushed pineapple to make it extra special. It’s that green been/cream of mushroom/french fried onion amalgam I don’t cotton to.

Good morning, Hamsters. My sympathies to Goats and anyone else who has to spend Thanksgiving in a “bomb cratered war zone”. Me, I’d rather have soup & crackers at home alone than endure something like that.

FWIW, if I remember all those fallout prediction maps they had hanging on the walls in the breifing room at my Army Reserve Unit and you live north to north east of Houston, you’re gonna have a problem.

#8 Sarge’s blast map
You’re alive! … but not for long.
The heat from the blast has caused head to toe third degree burns. It would have been better to have been vaporized. You’ll probably die within the day.But at least I’ll die before the post-apocalyptic cannibal army reaches my zone. Unlike some of youse that are 15 miles outside the blast radius. Bwuh-ha-ha-ha!

But right now I got to head into the blast zone. Hope they wait till later this evening to drop one.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) includes 85% of the music distributors and labels in the USA. They have been terrified of the tech revolution for two decades and have no qualms about enlisting the jackbooted tactics of federal law enforcement to protect every single dollar they extract from artists and customers.
Every time you think the RIAA can’t make things even worse for itself… it does. The latest is that it’s apparently considering helping Righthaven out. Righthaven! The company that has become the total laughingstock of the copyright world, that is on the losing end of a bunch of cases and is desperately trying to get out of paying all the attorneys’ fees awards that are being given to the companies, individuals and sites it has sued. Of course, as some have noted, the good thing about Righthaven is that it has tee’d up a bunch of rulings that will be useful precedents in other copyright cases.
And that’s what has the RIAA scared.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh the good ole ‘Duck & Cover’ days eh?
It was commonly agreed to in our family that Pop would be toasted (he worked ‘when in town’ @ Kirby & 59 in those days)………….and no further away than Meyerland (as IF that tiny distanced would save us?) Mom & I would jump in the ’56 Bel-Air (already trunk filled with distilled water and canned goods) and haul bunz for Brownfield or Cisco. *sigh* that car was a real creampuff and I never got to drive her – but I fear it wasn’t near fast enough to outrun the blast………… 🙂

I don’t recall ever hearing about the primary employer before.
I also change lots of light bulbs
Is that related to the boss’s vision problem? Or is it a joke along the lines of, how many Neuromuscular therapists does it take to change a light bulb? If the latter, you know I often miss the point.I do anything I can to make my boss’s life easier without “mother henning” him. It will range from changing light bulbs to picking up his relatives at the airport to running documents to the accountants office to documents to partners to researching topics on the innanet. He has been a great employer to my aunt for 46 years or so (she is 82 or so and can still type over 100 words a minute, razor sharp mind, she is the office mgr and runs a tight ship, yet manages to still be one of the sweetest coolest people you will ever meet) he is a noble man and I consider it a calling to serve him and help enable him to keep going for as long as possible. There are 2 companies and one of his sons runs the bigger one, so whatever I can do for that company to assist I do.

While I do believe it is true that Newt Gingrich was sleeping sround while his wife was hositalized with cancer, it isn’t true tha he presented the divorce papers to her while inthe hospital.
So, to correct the record, here is what happened: My mother, Jackie Battley Gingrich, is very much alive, and often spends time with my family. I am lucky to have such a “Miracle Mom,” as I titled her in a column this week.
As for my parents’ divorce, I can remember when they told me.
It was the spring of 1980.
I was 13 years old, and we were about to leave Fairfax, Va., and drive to Carrollton, Ga., for the summer. My parents told my sister and me that they were getting a divorce as our family of four sat around the kitchen table of our ranch home.
Soon afterward, my mom, sister and I got into our light-blue Chevrolet Impala and drove back to Carrollton.
Later that summer, Mom went to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for surgery to remove a tumor. While she was there, Dad took my sister and me to see her.
It is this visit that has turned into the infamous hospital visit about which many untruths have been told. I won’t repeat them. You can look them up online if you are interested in untruths. But here’s what happened:
My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested.
Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother.
She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor.
The tumor was benign.
As with many divorces, it was hard and painful for all involved, but life continued.
So, myth debunked; not adultery, which Newt has not denied, and I find his repentence sincere, but he didn’t go to the hospital to present his then wife with the divorce papers.

Drudge linked to an NYTimes story on “near poor” people who have jobs but are barely scraping by. There is a case story that to my mind illustrates exactly why people go bust in this country from not knowing how to manage their money & lives. The 2-parent family gross income is $51K. They are going to buy a house for $230K with a $3K (!!!!) downpayment that they got at least part of from some non-profit organization (!!!!).
But even after cutting out meals at Red Lobster, movie nights and new clothes, she had to rely on government aid to get health insurance for her daughters, 11 and 13, and she is already worried about college tuition.
At the first unexpected event, like the engine conks out in her car, they will start falling behind on the mortgage and eventually lose the house because they are too ignorant to know they can not afford it under any circumstances on the amount of money the two adults earn.

#23 M42:
gross income is $51K. They are going to buy a house for $230K with a $3K (!!!!) downpayment
That is almost twice as much as I paid for this house in 2000. They voluntarily became “house slaves” because they have been programmed to believe that the biggest house they can possibly start paying for is the one they should get. I would imagine that P,I,T, and Insurance payments are in the neighborhood of $2200/month, that is over 50% of their gross income, they should have never qualified for the loan. Anything resulting in a monthly housing payment over $100 for this family of 4 is a huge stretch. The lender in this case is partly to blame – the greedy bastiges, they get their origination fees and closing costs then sell the loan to FHA, knowing full well that it will go into default within 2 years.
I can see a great reform to Freddie and Fannie, the originating lender must carry the loan for at least 5 years, and if it is in or near default, they eat it. This will cause them to tighten up the lending standards and that will put the value back into mortgage backed securities.

I found MeTV shows. Man, I forgot how good-lookin’ Chuck Connors was! Unfortunately, I have to go grocery shopping, so I may not get to see him kick some wiss that needs kicking. Maybe the store can wait another 20 minutes – I’ll work on my shopping list while I watch.
Nothing like the old good guys to be good guys. They had real men in the old westerns – none of the current androgynous, limp wristed “good guys” hand wringing about their personal character defects.

(2) Even worse than above, looks like what the cat pukes after eating grass and schizzle.Why anybody considers either one of those puke inducers food is a mystery to me.

Au Phuc Dup and Nowhere to Go: The Only Really True Book About Viet Nam
Nekkid in Austin: Drop Your Inner Child Down a Well
A Brass Pole in Bangkok: A Thing I Aspire to Be
The last tome guaranteed to get you on the no-fly list at Homeland Security…
Fred writes…
Tell you what. I’m gonna get me about sixteen Dobermans with no judgment. Then, next time I see one of those chunky talk-show ladies with short hair blowing about what brigands white males are, and how we ought to dethrone them, I’m gonna get the Dobermans to eat her. Then I’ll get their stomachs pumped, because I like dogs, and send them on a vacation to the Bahamas.
The other day I heard one of’em blathering about white males. (A chunky lady, not a Doberman.) She was all in an uproar about it. She had the nuanced lyricism I associate with truss ads and said we needed to deconstruct the paradigm of white patriarchal masculinity with its linear-logical gender-hierarchical phallocentric oppressive something-or-other. She wanted to get rid of white males.

Don’t misunderstand me. We pale males aren’t perfect. Far from it. We’ve got warts on most of us. We leave things all over the living room. We drink beer and chase women. Sometimes we punch each other out in bars. But we have contributed a few things to civilization. For example:
Euclidean geometry. Parabolic geometry. Hyperbolic geometry. Projective geometry. Differential geometry. Algebra. Limits, continuity, differentiation, integration. Physical chemistry. Organic chemistry. Biochemistry. Classical mechanics. The indeterminacy principle. The wave equation. The Parthenon. The Anabasis. Air conditioning. Number theory. Romanesque architecture. Gothic architecture. Information theory. Entropy. Enthalpy. Every symphony ever written. Pierre Auguste Renoir. The twelve-tone scale. The mathematics behind it, twelfth root of two and all that. S-p hybrid bonding orbitals. The Bohr-Sommerfeld atom. The purine-pyrimidine structure of the DNA ladder. Single-sideband radio. All other radio. Dentistry. The internal-combustion engine. Turbojets. Turbofans. Doppler beam-sharpening. Penicillin. Airplanes. Surgery. The mammogram. The Pill. The condom. The penis. Polio vaccine. The integrated circuit. The computer. Football. Computational fluid dynamics. Tensors. The Constitution. Euripides, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Homer, Hesiod. Glass. Rubber. Nylon. Roads. Buildings. Elvis. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. (OK, that’s nerve gas, and maybe we didn’t really need it.) Silicone. The automobile. Really weird stuff, like clathrates, Buckyballs, and rotaxanes. The Bible. Bug spray.

EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact.
Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict, which comes into force in the UK next month.
Last night, critics claimed the EU was at odds with both science and common sense. Conservative MEP Roger Helmer said: “This is stupidity writ large.
“The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true.
“If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it.”
I wonder ifthe EU believes that drinking sand can prevent dehydration?

A fake doctor accused of injecting a woman’s buttocks with cement, super glue and other chemicals was arrested Friday in Florida.
Police said Oneal Ron Morris, a 30-year-old transgendered man who is not a doctor, administered the potentially lethal shots to at least one woman as part of a buttock-enhancing procedure. He had also tried the procedure on himself.
“They agreed on a price of $700 for him to enhance her buttocks,” Miami Gardens Police Sgt. Bill Bamford told Miami’s WPLG-TV.
Morris allegedly injected the victim with a combination of cement, mineral oil, Fix-a-Flat tire sealant and super glue, then sealed the incision with more super glue, police said.
Needless to say, the recipient experienced agonizing pain and later life-threatening conditions as a result of these injections. All for a bigger butt.

Here are some people who just made it onto my Special High Intensity Therapy waiting list.
JONESBORO, Ga. (CBS Atlanta) – Police charge two caregivers at a Jonesboro facility with waterboarding an 89-year-old woman.
Clayton County police said Jermeller Steed and Cicely Reed held down Anna Foley after an argument that started over ice cream.
Their names are published as well as where they worked. I think punishment from the cops is the least of their worries; FAMILY usually lives fairly close to their elderly who are no longer capable of taking care of themselves. This is not some ultra urban area like Los Angeles, no siree-Bob – this is right in the heart of redneck central. This could be an interesting story to watch.

I moved to Houston and went to work for Bechtel in 1969 at Kirby and 59. Did your dad work for them too? And please don’t tell me he worked for Pacifica Radio downstairs. About once a month they would have to evacuate the building because Pacifica got a bomb threat.

Males may not have invented the sweet potato, but they did invent all the tools and vehicles to plant them, grown it, harvest them and get them to your local produce market, including the roads that make that possible. And the airplanes and ships that bring the cinnamon and nutmeg from the South China Sea, Vietnam and India to season them with.

I’m working on my special Thanksgiving pico de gallo. The hardest part is slicing those Serrano peppers and getting all the seeds out. I do have some advice for any of you who might try doing this at home. First, make sure that you have a clean rag handy to wipe your eyes when they tear up because doing it with your hand will assuredly only cause more tears; and secondly, make sure you go to the bathroom before working with the peppers because doing so afterwards will assuredly cause more tears. Wait about 3 days after working with the peppers before touching anything sensitive.
BTW, those cheap vinyl gloved don’t help a bit either.

#80 EG: To slice the serranos first cut the ends off then slice them in quarters longways. When they are cut like this you can easily scrape all the seeds and white pith out; now grab a bunch and keep them all lined up and it only takes one more fine chop and your done. I can’t quite remember if it is lemon juice or milk that kills the pepper off of your fingers.

Hi Gang, just a quick drive-by; A Veteran Advisor’s Open Letter to the Occupy Wall Street Crowd.
My first year selling (1974) my new wife and I made $11,000 total. The next year with a child I made $9,000. You could not live on the San Francisco Peninsula then or now on $9,000 or even $11,000. My days were unvaried. Each morning I would make two sandwiches one ham and cheese and one PBJ and have a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice. At 6:30 am I began calling investors on the East Coast where it was 9:30 and I followed the sun west. I knew no one, I had no family money, I had no connections – I just had ten fingers and a voice. If you are an introvert like me there is no greater terror than picking up the phone and cold calling someone. I forced myself to do it 35 times a day, 5 days a week. My first sandwich was my lunch and the second my dinner as I called people in Hawaii. I was typically in the office, on the phone for 13 hours a day, five days a week or 65-hour weeks.
As they say read the whole thing. 😉

I found out this morning that dear, dear man in our church passed away last night. Mr. and Mrs. G were founders of our parish, and their devotion and service will take some doing to surpass. Mr. G. made my husband a rosary made out of Job’s tears seeds for his entry into the Church. Mrs. G has been a sacristan for as long as I can remember. Both of them were adopted as honorary grandparents by Lovely Daughter and I, and they also reciprocated the feeling. Every Sunday I would walk into the nave and take the long way to my pew just so that I could give Mr. G a hug, kiss, and morning greeting. Their attendance at mass was like clockwork, and I looked forward to my “Sunday vitamins” from both of these lovely people. (I had to catch Mrs. G after mass, as she was usually busy preparing the altar beforehand.)
Mr. G’s health has been declining lately, so when I walked into the nave and saw Mrs. G with one of her daughters, both with red eyes and sorrowful faces, I looked to Mr. G’s spot and could not see him sitting there.
These two have been married for upteenjillion years, and have been wonderful role models for our parish for marriage and for faith. They have been incredibly devoted to the Church and to each other. I cannot imagine the vast void that will be part of Mrs. G’s life, now, as her helpmate and companion is gone.
Rest in peace, Mr. G., and may God’s comforting hand rest on your lovely wife. You will be missed, though I anticipate the day that I see you again and can kiss your cheek.

The Obama administration is continuing with it’s policy of supporting American business:
Late Thursday the Obama administration abruptly knocked Kansas aircraft maker Hawker Beechcraft out of contention for a $1 billion project to make a fleet of lightweight counterinsurgency aircraft for the Air Force.
and,
By knocking Hawker Beechcraft out, the Pentagon has limited the “competition” to one company, a company that is not only not an American manufacturer, it’s a government-owned entity with ties to our enemies. The company is Embraer, which is controlled by the government of Brazil and has close ties to the government of Iran.
Finally,
This is the Obama administration’s second billion-dollar giveaway to the Brazilian government in 2011; the first was its outrageous offshore oil loan guarantee decision in March. The two decisions siphon more than $2 billion and more than 21,000 jobs out of the US economy. Of the two, putting a foreign manufacturer with ties to our enemies in charge of a project to build anti-terror weaponry may be the most disturbing.

Well here’s a surprise. The Super Committee will not be able to reach an agreement on spending cuts and/or tax increases by the required deadline, so theoretically, the default cuts kick in – in 2013 – Ha. And this committee was formed as part of the deal to get the House Republicans (including our very own CD22 Rep Pete Olsen) to agree to increase the debt ceiling. Everyone knew at the time this was a farce – spend now and figure out where to cut later, and once again the Republicans look like the fools they are to ever agree to this deal to begin with. Plus, the Dems will now blame the Reps for the failure of the Committee. Are our leaders dooming us to political suicide, our nation to fiscal suicide, or to their own political suicide. I don’t often swear, but I’ve just about had it with the Rep caving on every issue, no matter how important or how small, out of fear rather than being able to stand on principle. To hell with them.

Good evening Hamsters. An unseasonably warm 72 and mugly at 6 followed by a sticky morning was not what one should endure on November 20th. Leaves flew all day and piled up here and there and in between they were more or less evenly distributed. But there was 1/10″ overnight in the rain gauge and wet leaves and grass on the way to the barn, a lovely early morning surprise.
Three flowerbeds are embracing pansies now, with two more beds to plant. We seem to have wiped out most of the pansy supply of one local nursery; fortunately there’s a larger one a few miles in the opposite direction. Several other beds will have to wait for their flowers until the sprinkler system is installed. Rye seed has sprouted on most of the fill dirt in the yard thanks to sprinklers and the tidbits of rain that managed to find us. Doing the Snoopy Happy Dance over that.
Thanksgiving dinner for us will again be at a nearby wonderful restaurant’s holiday buffet. Had to make reservations a month in advance since as the area has grown it becomes necessary to make them earlier each year for Thanksgiving and for Easter buffets. We aren’t out in the sticks any more. 🙂

#114 EG: Based on what I heard on the radio last week, the Ds walked away from almost everything that was in their initial demands. What the Rs are so incredibly inept at is getting the wissing truth out. The Ds have willing accomplices in the LSM, the Rs have yet to figger out that they have to work hard to get the truth out.

About the interview with Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform on 60 Minutes tonight:
But Norquist says the success of any product requires relentless monitoring and diligent quality control to protect the brand, whether it’s Coca Cola or the Republican Party.
Norquist: ‘Cause let’s say you take that Coke bottle home, and you get home, and you’re two thirds of the way through the Coke bottle. And you look down at what’s left in your Coke bottle is a rat head there. You wonder whether you’d buy Coke ever again. You go on TV, and you show ’em the rat head in the Coke bottle. You call your friends, and tell them about it. And Coke’s in trouble. Republicans who vote for a tax increase are rat heads in a Coke bottle. They damage the brand for everyone else.

Oh yeah, Tony Stewart. NASCAR Sprint Cup 2011 Champion. Came down to the last race, 3 points separating him from Carl Edwards. Car problems caused Tony to have to come from the back of the field twice, while Edwards was leading. Tony wins the race outright, championship ends in a tie. Tony owns tiebreaker with 5 wins. Best championship ever.
Yes!

No, I saw she was there. ST ordered me a couple weeks ago to put a stop to it but a hostile takeover ensued. If she swayed any voters I doubt they’ll remember on votin’ day. Besides it was in Florida and you know them types.

but then I think the drugs took a heavy toll over much of Bramhall’s life. Sorry to see a talented guy like him die at such a young age.
That’s always sad.

Yup. Whenever you allow government to get what it wants with a later promise to give the people what they want, you’ll pretty much guarantee that the government will quickly do what it wants with utterly no regard to fulfilling its own promises to the people.
I do not know of anyone who elected Republicans in 2010 just ot outsource their responsibilities on some supercommittee. These Republicans were elected in order to stand firm against excessive spending. Now the result of their supercommittee idea, we have more spending, new record debt, and highly potential cuts where they are not needed. Furthermore, there’s clear talk of raising taxes in order to generate new revenue for the government.
Pathetic.

I’ve no doubt Mr. G’s resting at pease before God. Friendship for Mrs. G’s right now would be invaluable as well.
May God bless the G family.

Welfare Services of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was honored 10 November 2011 along with other community leaders by Catholic Community Services of Utah (CCS). The Deseret News reported on the event.
In addition to the Church, other honorees included The Sisters of the Holy Cross, The Sisters of St. Benedict and Katherine Mahoney, a volunteer at the Parish Refugee Resettlement Ministry at St. John the Baptist in Draper and Jon and Karen Huntsman.
Presiding bishop of the Church, H. David Burton, accepted the honor in behalf of LDS Welfare Services during CCS’s annual Humanitarian Awards dinner. Bishop Burton said it has been an honor to serve as partners with Catholic Community Services for many years.
In a prerecorded statement about the Church’s welfare department, the Most Rev. John C. Wester, bishop of the Salt Lake Catholic Diocese, said, “They’re always there where the need is. They’re motivated by the gospel of Christ.”
That’s a happy note to end on.
Good night all.
