| Overnight Open Thread – (genghis)Here at the ONT we don’t generally indulge ourselves in sentimental or Oprah-like moments (being the crass, drunken, unwashed freaks that we are) but tonight I’d like to pay a brief tribute to a hero. That’s a term that gets thrown around way too often these days and applied to people who don’t merit the distinction (pro athletes, me, entertainers, me etc. Did I mention me?). All screwing around aside though, I think here’s a guy who truly deserves that title. Here’s the first couple of paragraphs but you should read the whole thing. It not long and won’t strain your attention span too much. ”KELSO, Wash. (AP) - Allen Heck has been hailed a hero since running into the Cowlitz River last week to save a 9-year-old girl, losing his own life in the process. Unknown by most is that Heck was an extremely ill young homeless man with the simple goal of living to his 21st birthday. The 20-year-old Longview man had drifted for about three years after diabetes barred him from the only job he ever wanted - serving in the Army. Directionless, he made some bad decisions, family and friends admit, and was living at the Community House shelter at the time of the drowning.” I can’t quite put my finger on it (and I don’t want to get into a lengthy discussion concerning theological questions…you can if you want), but there seems to be an underlying story here about redemption along with the fact that even what could be considered a failure of a life ended up making all the difference in the world on one hot summer day at a swimming hole. But if you need some lighter fare, here’s a couple of stories that might keep you entertained (below the fold) Item 1: I meant to post this a couple of weeks back but forgot I’d bookmarked it: Athlete Turns to Brothel to Fund Olympic Bid. Well who hasn’t? Logan Campbell, who finished in the top 16 in the taekwondo featherweight division at the Beijing Olympics, has set up a 'high-class gentleman's club' in Auckland, the Sunday Star Times said. Campbell's Beijing campaign cost about $NZ 150,000 ($121,000), most of which came from his parents, and he says he set up the brothel because he was sick of relying on their help. Licensed prostitution is legal in New Zealand. The nation’s Olympic selection committee is not amused, but New Zealand has bigger concerns these days, such as a recent 6.8 quake which allegedly moved the island 1 foot in some direction. Neighboring Australia was of course unimpressed as usual considering that not too long ago the nation/continent went on an all night bender and woke up in the North Atlantic. (Is there actually an original Zealand that the place was named after? Or are they just making shit up again?) Item #2: You’ve already had enough items for one night, but might as well remind you that Max Motors, somewhere in Missouri that I’m too lazy to look up, is putting on their yearly Buy a Car Get an AK-47 sales event. Well, that’s appreciated and all, but times are a little tougher this year. Any chance you guys can sweeten the deal? Maybe offer us one of these? (Which is also our sponsor this fine evening) Throw in the underbody rust coating and maybe we have a deal. Comments1

Well, good evening everyone. I'm melting. It reached close to 100 degrees at my house today. Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter.

Posted by: ParanoidGirlInSeattle at July 28, 2009 09:48 PM (AJ4xq) Who says you have to do it tactfully?

PGiS, if you get a good answer to that, can you pass it on to me? Last time, I just quit talking to my friend for three months and claimed it was because I was busy at work, but if I try that again, I think she'll get mad or suspicious or something.

A really sad story. Of course, the Seattle nincompoops couldn't just relate a story about a brave kid, but had to turn the story into a commentary on the failing of the health care system. The comments were disgraceful.

Evening morons. Paranoid Girl, no good can ever come from dating a lib. The sex isn't even that great (speaking from experience, here). Libs are too interested in themselves. You'd be better off going out for drinks with your girlfriends and watching a good pron.

I'm not sure if posting political items in the OOT is bad juju, but I'm on a linking role. Except that my links won't link, but anyway. An excellent read from TNR on demo pollster Stanley Greenberg's take on the mood of the citizenry. There is some expected snarky, liberalness but it's definitely a great read and has boosted my spirits. Ball-dipping is optional. (I will remind you that this fng wingnut congress may still steamroll the general citizenry, but the mood is definitely in our favor.) Posted by: The Hammer at July 28, 2009 09:57 PM (YBTwf) 17

Go on the date, wear a Club Gitmo shirt and talk incessantly about the tea-party's and how much you love gun's. If he has even one ounce of testosterone or conservatism in his body he will leap across the table and ravish you on the spot, then ask you to marry him. If he breaks out in tears and cowers under the table sucking his thumb, he's a typical left-coast libby and unconvertable. Posted by: Blazer at July 28, 2009 09:58 PM (+FzLa) 20

Fluffy, I was thinking something along those lines. Use the above video as the litmus test. If potential date-guy says, "Fuck yeah!" while watching it then the date's a go. If he doesn't, you say, "Fuck yeah!" and the rest will take care of itself. Posted by: KelliD at July 28, 2009 09:58 PM (Q9Cny) 22

I've gone on dates with liberals, hoping to have a good time. Except politics is just such a huge part of who I am I can't stop myself from talking about it.

Hey Ghengis and PGiS! It was frickin hot here--over 100 degrees in Kirkland. I think it only went down to 73 last night, which is so weird for Seattle (it always cools down a lot at night, usually). I bought one of those portable a/c units at Costco last year, and it really works well. Anyways, PGiS, I agree with WTR. Honesty is the best policy. It's funny but I am increasingly finding myself wanting to hang out with my liberal friends less and less. They are really grating on me (I had one friend talking about all the great jobs the Stimulus bill created, and it was all I could do to keep from strangling her with my cloth napkin). If that fails and you find yourself out on said date, then take Ghengis up on his offer (who knows what could happen from there!) Posted by: runningrn at July 28, 2009 10:26 PM (D2il9) 82

You're a bit lucky. The Fox local affiliate in L.A. is dogmatically marxist but they also throw in some pretty silly and stupid newscasters. They have an asshat guy who gives the weather while dancing very badly. Funny the first few times but he does it every fucking night. Then they have Lauren Sanchez. With her big fake boobs, I don't know how she manages to stand up without tipping over. She's just barely smart enough to figure out how to stand up. She usually works the entertainment beat, probably so as not to upset celebrities because she can't possibly make them look dumber than she is.

It's funny but I am increasingly finding myself wanting to hang out
with my liberal friends less and less. They are really grating on me
(I had one friend talking about all the great jobs the Stimulus bill
created, and it was all I could do to keep from strangling her with my
cloth napkin).
Try having a family full of them. There is not enough ValuRite on earth to get me thorough a family function without getting sucked into sort of political discussion, and since there are wayyyyy to many liberal lawyers in my family they are wayyy too good at arguing absolute nonsense with no facts to back their nonsensical beliefs.

Went to the animal shelter today after work. Got to spend some time with a Great Dane. They've always been my favorite breed of dog, but I had no idea they are so silly & playful. He ran around the room with a toy in his mouth & did a funny little dance (seen herding dogs do that, but a Great Dane?!?). So funny--but I couldn't take him, unfortunately. My landlord would kill me...

Subject: MONTANA HOSPITALITY!! Star 100.7 Radio Station was doing one of their "is anyone listening who" bits this morning. The first one was, "Ever have a celebrity pull the 'do you know who I am' routine?" A lady called in and said that when she was visiting her cattle rancher Uncle in Billings, MT a few years ago, they went to dinner at a restaurant that does not take reservations. The wait was about 45 minutes. Lots of other rancher types and their spouses were already waiting. In comes Ted Turner and Jane Fonda. They want a table. The hostess says they'll have to wait about 45 minutes. Jane Fonda asks if she knows who she is? "Yes, but you'll still have to wait 45 minutes." Then Jane says, "Is the manager in?" The manager comes out, "May I help you?" "Do you know who I am?", ask both Jane and Ted. "Yes, but these folks have all been waiting already and I can't put you in ahead of them." Then Ted asks to speak to the owner. The owner comes out. Jane again asks, "do you know who I am?" The owner says "Yes, I do.... Do you know who I am? I am the owner of this restaurant and a Vietnam Veteran. Not only will you not get a table ahead of all of my friends and neighbors here, but you also will not be eating in my restaurant tonight or any other night. Good bye." Only in America, what a great country!

#92 Ben - threadwinner in my opinion. I dated a lib in college. Highlights: 1. tried to get me in bed by blathering on about how strongly he feels about abortion rights. Killing baby=romance? I dunno. Didn't do much for me. 2. Offered to replace a broken piece of glassware in my lab set by stealing replacement from someone else. (Yes, I've always been a science nerd). $5 of glass or my honor as a person? Such a difficult decision.

Make sure he's buying, have a great time, and carry your own gun in case you get mugged. Seriously, I went out with a self-proclaimed socialist once.

#132 Jane,
One of my sisters is an admitted socialist, although she admits that she likes the idea of communism better - God help us, she is a law graduate and she takes her bar exam on Thursday. My family is as liberal as liberals get... I love them, but I often feel like my head is going to explode at family functions. With my parents being lawyers (and now my sister too) their favorite tactic is just to all talk at the same time (making no sense at all) until I give up and go outside for a cigarette. Lets just say that the one and only time my parents met my man, well that was an interesting breakfast. At least there was bacon at the diner. When my man meets my sister I think it will be the best political debate this state has ever seen. Wish I could sell tickets. Posted by: Elizabeth at July 28, 2009 10:52 PM (hA5JK) 164

I had read the earlier article about Allen Heck in Sunday's Seattle Times. Apparently, the family of the girl that almost drowned left right away and didn't know he had died. They didn't have all the backstory on him that the KOMO news story did. So sad. And yeah, he didn't even know the little girl. RIP Allen Heck.

kbdabear - I found that treating the books like those "mystery image" posters - you know, the staticky-looking things that have a hidden 3-D image if you can just force yourself to cross your eyes, or change your focal distance, or whatever - worked just fine. Of course, I never saw the 3-D image. So, yeah, worked fine. Never really found Waldo, either. Posted by: Abigail at July 28, 2009 11:02 PM (pN/Pc) 189

So do San Diegans think LT has peaked as a player? You know how it goes; the diehards will never give up, the pessimists give up after a bad season. No injuries and an o-line that played like they did in '07 and anything is possible. Still he's getting old (for football) and Darren Sproles was a helluva lot of fun to watch, although you figure he's gotta get creamed one of these days and maybe not walk away from it. San Diegans love Darren Sproles but longevity is definitely a concern.

@333 *putting the doctor hat on* Electronic medical records are a huge joke as far as "efficiency" and "streamlining" go. I know of at least four different platforms for displaying radiology results...none of which talk to one another. I use one EMR in the clinic, one in the hospital...neither of which talks to the other. A third is used to scan in the completed chart on patient discharge. My coder won't look at the scanned-in chart, but insists on coding from the dictations divorced from the daily progress notes. Don't even get me started on the VA EMR, which is unified, but is based on an obsolete operating system. ...and you know what? I like those fragmented medical records just the way they are. Good luck nationalizing that! *doffs doctor hat, puts Waldo hat back on* And none of youse moronettes are getting free breast exams. I take Valu-rite and hoboskin handbags, though.

Abigail, I hear you! We are using EPIC at the hospital I work at. I would have to say at least for the O.R., it is an epic fail: very cumbersome, tedious, not intuitive and complicated. We spend the whole case focused on the computer instead of taking care of the patient, it seems. I'm just glad I do long procedures so I can get all my charting done. I feel sorry for those poor bastards in same day surgery who are doing D&C's, T&A's, myringotomies with tubes--you know things that only take a few minutes. They are then charting after the fact--something that is really not right being as the chart is a legal document and should be done in real time.

Okay guys/gals, I need your help. Vista has decided that my 'user profile service' has failed. It will not load. It took me all day to even get this piece of shit to open in 'safe mode'. I just keep getting the 'user profile has failed' warning, and then it starts logging off. Right now I am in safe mode and it looks like a comp. program from the early fucking 90s. I tried to go in under 'administrator' but it won't accept my damn password. I really don't want to delete/reload Vista cuz I don't want to lose my vids of my kids and mom. Plus, I suck at this comp. stuff. Do any of you know what the hell I'm talking about? Have any suggestions? I have to get off here now before I go bat shit crazy and start sucking poles for enough $$$ to buy a new comp that doesn't have Vista already on it. I know, I ask for help, mention sucking poles, and then leave, but I'm too frustrated to deal with this shit right now. Any way I have a Dell 1525 if that helps. If any of you have any suggestions, I will try to get on here in the morning. Thanks for reading my rant. Did I mention.....BACON? I swear, I missed this place all day. There were some awesome threads. Seems to always work that way huh? PGIS - Tell the libtard how excited you are that he is taking you to the next Palin rally. Tell him that is the best fist date suggestion you have ever heard. If you get really quiet after saying it, you just might hear his balls suck back into his body. Just sayin' Thanks again guys. Oh yeah, about the young man that saved that little girl. God has the ability to turn everything around if we just let him.. I don't believe God gave him his illness, but I do believe that God heard his prayers. The fact that the little girl is still breathing, and that the young man's family is very proud of him, is proof that God answers prayers. Just think, if that hadn't have happened, that man's family would have lived with guilt, regret, and sadness, once he died. Now, they are left with a feeling of pride, almost joy.

"The Internet is a curious place, isn't it?" Tennant told MTV News. "I think someone sits in their bedroom in Saskatchewan and comes up with an idea and they post it. And within minutes it's around the world and I'm getting phoned up by journalists and friends of mine saying, 'When are you off to shoot with _____ ?'" said Tennant. "It's not something I know anything about." Posted by: Miss'80sBaby at July 29, 2009 12:10 AM (zmiSr) 384

Abigail, rumour has it that EPIC was started by some woman in Wisconsin who was a F.O.H. (Friend of Hillary). I do believe that electronic records was a bill pushed by Sen. Clinton back in the day. We use to use ESI which was so quick and easy to chart on. Of course we had to jettison that for a much more complex and unwieldy system. We've been using it for almost 2 years now and though there have been a few improvements, it's really a joke. Every time we had a complaint about how cumbersome it was we were told, "you'll get that fixed next year in the upgrade." I know it is a really expensive system, and my BIL who is an IT guy for Kaiser Permanente said they stopped releasing the financial data on how much they spent on EPIC because it was such a money pit.

Coddington VanVoorhees over at the National Topsider and let him know if he ever says one kind word about Pawlenty, I'll be revoking the endowment!

It just goes to show you can never trust those foul, uncouth, ill-heeled, baby-killing military men. I mean, he only went to some service academy; not Harvard, not Yale, not even John's Hopkins. How pedestrian! I bet he never took a course in deconstructive Sanskrit lit, and they never taught him the important conservative principle "violence never solves anything"!

No seriously, I did miss you and I did feel a little less informed. #392, Abigail, that is very cool! It's funny because the cardiac surgeons I work with are all very conservative, but the anesthesiologists are all really liberal (except for 2, which is really weird since they are in private practice not hospital employed!) #385 Scott J., I'm sure this is no reflection on you or the job you do. When we first got our (ahem) system, we had all this logistical support from the company.

I bet it's because it was all designed by consultants who only talked to the administrators and then handed to specs off to wage slaves in India. I think you're right. I'm very frustrated with EPIC. It will pull info from several places and there will be different answers for the same question. There are 3 different places for the nurses to record the weight. If they put it in the 'wrong' one - EPIC won't calculate the drug dose (and that's supposed to be one of the things it helps with - drug dosing calculation errors). And I only have to click through 3 screens to find critical info that should be available at a glance. and I could go on and on....

503 "The United States Military Academy at West Point has fielded the Pipes
and Drums of the Corps of Cadets as a club since the early 1980's."
"I recall reading that a few American regiments had pipers in WWI. The same book mentions that one American unit in the war once borrowed pipers of the Highland Light Infantry, which pipers were pleasantly surprised at how many tunes were recognized by the Americans. I also recall seeing a webpage about a recent but unfortunately defunct pipe band of the 7th Cavalry (the Garryowens, the regiment commanded by Gen. Custer at Little Bighorn and shown in the Vietnam movie We Were Soldiers). They had the Irish pipers' uniform with caubeen and saffron kilt, later the standard Highland uniform. They folded around 1992." "Here are some military organizations (some unofficial, but affiliated) that currently have pipes and drums: US Naval Academy Virginia Military Institute West Point (Army) US Coast Guard pipe band US Air Force pipe band The Citadel (US Marines had a pipe band during WW2 --see my previous post)."

The following facts relating to the history of piping were provided by Justin Stodghill: The documented tradition of Marine pipe bands began in 1943 at Marine Barracks, Londonderry, Northern Ireland, where Marines formed a pipe and drum band that was so successful the Department of the Navy publicized it. The Marines at Londonderry were the first to play the bagpipes for dignitaries; they played for President Truman and the Queen of England. The tradition carried on in the Pacific where “From the beaches of Peleliu in September 1944, to the black sands of Iwo Jima in 1945, to the landing at Inchon in 1950, Marine pipers have instilled fear in the enemy while filling their comrades with pride.” Bagpipes, the only musical instrument declared a weapon of war, Posted by: Jonathon E. at July 29, 2009 01:01 AM (dQdrY) 517

Fluffy and katya,
I love vampire novels, esp if they're by Laurell K. Hamilton, but I've found them sorely lacking when they're put on the big or little screen. The only vampire movies I liked were Interview with the Vampire and Coppola's Dracula. I can't stand Twilight and it's tweeny following. I refuse to read or watch any of that. I was hoping True Blood would be better, but I can't get over how much of an idiot Sookie is. She's like a petulant child. And Bill isn't that attractive to me. And there's waaaaay too much sex. It's like the vampire version of Rome. Posted by: wherestherum at July 29, 2009 01:20 AM (gofDd) 563

It's never way too much if you're receiving it. If you like Charlaine Harris, you'd probably like Laurell K. Hamilton. She has a similar premise where vamps and werewolves are walking among us and are totally known. Vamps are pushing for legal rights at the beginning of the series. The lycans and other weres aren't discriminated against in the same way unless they're predator weres. Posted by: wherestherum at July 29, 2009 01:30 AM (gofDd) 581

PGIS,
I used to love and adore Angel. I cried when Buffy had to kill him and close the portal thingy after he became Angeles. Spike was cool. I just didn't like towards the end of the series where she developed a thing for Spike. It just got too soap opera-y. I blame the introduction of Dawn. And I liked the spin off TV series Angel. Until that turned into a soap opera. Posted by: wherestherum at July 29, 2009 01:33 AM (gofDd) Posted by: Miss'80sBaby at July 29, 2009 01:33 AM (zmiSr) 586

katya, I highly recommend the Harry Dresden series to you if you are looking for something where the bad things are bad things that get their asses kicked (especially the supernatural bad things). Plus, they are really well written books with lots of bits of humor for a book that is action/suspense orientated. There are no other suspense type books that make me literally laugh out loud in the middle of the crazy stuff, but Jim Butcher adds touches of humor in just the right places to make the books a fabulous read.

If a female coworker keeps mentioning the crick in her back every time she sits next to you when the two of you are alone, is that a flirtation? I say "yes". Posted by: katya at July 29, 2009 01:35 AM (Kd3t9) Posted by: Joe Biden, commuter at July 29, 2009 01:35 AM (SwkdU) 592

wherestherum - I read the first Laurel Hamilton book, and I liked it a lot and I will probably continue the series once I finish reading the Harry Dresden series.
katya - the author is Jim Butcher. He has 2 series that I know of, and I really like both of them, but the Harry Dresden series is my favorite (the first book is titled "Storm Front") Posted by: Elizabeth at July 29, 2009 01:39 AM (hA5JK) 599

Elizabeth,
I bought all the books when there were only about 12 in the series. It took me about 2 weeks to burn through them. I hate that she only puts out one a year. They put me through an emotional wringer every time I read them because everything happens so fast, but I always want more after I'm done. I also prefer Richard over Jean-Claude. Posted by: wherestherum at July 29, 2009 01:43 AM (gofDd) 604
wherestherum - The books are much better. If I had seen the series first I probably never would have read the books. The characters they added for the show really suck, and they changed Tara so much I didn't recognize her in the show at all.

Idiots is all I got to say. However I find the latest drowning in the Columbia River to be a little funny (yes not tasteful) because the guy's name was Gonzalo Reyes Sisneros and I was thinking "Whoa, did he get the memo that the California - Mexico border is where you cross into the United States and not the Oregon - Washington border?"

Hamilton's Merry Gentry series is good too. It's dramatic, but not as emotionally draining. I just love the whole seelie and unseelie sidhe thing. Must be my Celtic roots (that I don't really have). Posted by: wherestherum at July 29, 2009 01:49 AM (gofDd) 617
Wait, wait, wait... all those who are like, "no touching at work" should really not knock it until you've tried it.
I met my wife in the office. Dated for 3, got married, and worked in said office for an additional 3-years before I got a much better paying gig, elsewhere. Man, it worked out great. Every guy in the office or came to the office wanted to date her, but I WON, bitches. Posted by: Editor at July 29, 2009 01:50 AM (YX6i/) 618

The no touching at work policy is mostly so we don't get sued. Especially those of us living in litigious cities.
I personally also don't like being touched. Unless you're a good friend of mine or I'm dating you, no touchy. One of the girls I used to work with patted me on the head a couple of times (like I was a dog or something) and I snapped at her because it really wasn't ok for her to do that. She was taken aback by my reaction but she didn't touch me again. Posted by: wherestherum at July 29, 2009 01:53 AM (gofDd) 623

622 I've noticed we women are strange about giving affection to fellow women. I usually hug; but I've [also] been patted on the head, slight grandmotherly caressing of hair, etc. For people I don't know well, a side-hug will do, whereas my female friends can give me a hug. But I don't like the touchy-touchy thing at the office. Makes it worse when they hug you 1 min & yell at you 5 min later for jamming the stapler, no?

80sbaby,
I can deal with hello and good bye hugs if I know the person/people well. I'm always surprised when I meet new people and they give me a hug at the end of whatever it is we were doing. I guess that means they liked me. I'm wondering when the hugging hello/goodbye thing entered into my social sphere. I know I didn't do it as a little kid. I think it may have started in high school.

OregonMuse,
True Blood is way more raunchy than Sex and the City, I think. Sex and the City has that gay quality that saves it from being flat out porn. True Blood reminds me more of Rome, but with less full frontal men - so far. Rome was at least more interesting. I've been fastforwarding through the TB episodes for the most part. Have to admit, the guy who drank the vamp blood and had a hard on for more than 3 hours. That was pretty funny. Posted by: wherestherum at July 29, 2009 02:16 AM (gofDd) 659

last week to save a 9-year-old girl, losing his own life in the
process. Unknown by most is that Heck was an extremely ill young
homeless man with the simple goal of living to his 21st birthday.
Just thought I'd weigh in on this... It may very well be the case that God, in His mysterious, providential ordering of all things according to His purposes, only expected Allen to do one thing in his entire life, and that one thing was to save that poor girl.

Speaking of "Dancing Queen," I highly recommend the movie Muriel's Wedding. Odd, but kinda fun. Chicks dig it, but the wierdness and the Australia-ness makes it cool for guys (as in, it feels perfectly normal to drink lots of beer while watching).

Jonathan, yes. The chick is hitting on you. No doubts. If she tries to touch any part of yr body, say arm, shoulder, etc when talking to you, she is MAHJORLY coming on to you. If a girl is sitting on your lap, there's no need for an explanation. It is obv. As for hugging, go with what the rules or customs of where u r dictate. If you work somewhere that is strict no touching, don't do it. I am a big hugger, and kisser if the person isn't gross, but then I'm Southern, and no one can fire me.If you are involved w/someone else, I'd stay the hell away from that chick, she's gonna get you in trouble.

I don't think book giving is weird as long as the topic is appropriate as Jonathon said. If you're unsure, you can always get him a bookstore gift cards. I know people say gift cards aren't as "personal" but I love getting them and they fund my book habit. Personally, I'm not big on people giving me books unless it's a specific one I asked for b/c I'm very picky about what I read, but I'm probably the only person who's ungracious like that. I mean, I don't throw it back at them or anything, but it'll sit on my bookshelf indefinitely. Posted by: wherestherum at July 29, 2009 03:34 AM (gofDd) 732

Regarding the New Zealandish douchebag - he wants to fund his sports career by pimping. Uh huh. And he has the capital to set up an "establishment", but not enough to pay for his training time. Oh yeah, and "he finished in the top 16" in his weight class.

Opinions on Cash for Clunkers:
How many of you think those cars will end up in low end used car lots within a few months in the bad parts of town? Dealers turn cars over to 3rd party, who sends the titles to another government agency which is supposed to enter the car as destroyed. How do you prove the car WASN'T destroyed? Cars are sold to Mexican brokers who either strip for parts or re-titled and re-numbered and sold back to low end auctions, who sell to used car dealers. That's how flood cars end up being re-sold At any rate, the "getting guzzlers off the road" bit is laughable. California has laws taking gross polluters off the road along with financial rebates, but I've seen plenty of smokers being driven by illegals.

Ooops. Sorry. Well, they could be real; like I said, English women tend towards heaving bosoms. But perfectly round boobs usually need a little help. Something about gravity makes it hard for things to be perfectly spherical. Kate Beckinsale was also in Pearl Harbor. Her movie choices are awful.

Previous Thread: Artificial Intelligence a threat to humans. A man critically injured by robot attack is awarded nothing, and the company fined only $3K in Socialist Sweden industrial accident.
A Swedish company has been fined 25,000 kronor ($3,000) after a malfunctioning robot attacked and almost killed one of its workers at a factory north of Stockholm. Public prosecutor Leif Johansson mulled pressing charges against the firm but eventually opted to settle for a fine. "I've never heard of a robot attacking somebody like this," he told news agency TT. The incident took place in June 2007 at a factory in Bålsta, north of Stockholm, when the industrial worker was trying to carry out maintenance on a defective machine generally used to lift heavy rocks. Thinking he had cut off the power supply, the man approached the robot with no sense of trepidation. But the robot suddenly came to life and grabbed a tight hold of the victim's head. The man succeeded in defending himself but not before suffering serious injuries. "The man was very lucky. He broke four ribs and came close to losing his life," said Leif Johansson. The matter was subject to an investigation by both the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) and the police. Prosecutor Johansson chastised the company for its inadequate safety procedures but he also placed part of the blame on the injured worker.

Professor Gates singing to the tune "I Heard It Through The Grapevine".. Oh Ohhh..I wonder what You would do... If the same thing happened to you.. Cause some other guy might co-operate.. And knock on the cross with all that hate. To crowded by surprise with his rant.. Who later got grief from the Prezident. He said "Skippy..he's is a friend of mine"..

Thank you for posting that, about Allen Heck. People may be different but they have something to offer. Reminds me of a time, back when I was in my 20's, guy came into a 7-11 I was in...rambling and talking crazy stuff. Everyone looked away. All of a sudden he looked at me directly and said, "I can't do it but you can." Man, did I get a wake up call, carried it through with me all these years, I'm sure he doesn't know it....but I still think about him. Hope you are well. Hope I can do something. Thank you so called crazy man, you gave me something to shoot for. The betterment of people, anyperson, who is around me. You all have something to give.

The Obama economy continues to roar: July 29 (Bloomberg) -- Orders for US durable goods fell more than forecast in June, depressed by declines in demand for volatile categories including automobiles, aircraft and defense equipment that overshadowed gains elsewhere. Sprint Nextel Corp. posted a wider second-quarter loss on lower revenue compared with the same period last year. The No. 3 wireless carrier lost about 257000 customers during the quarter. NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- US stock futures slid further Wednesday morning as demand for durable goods in June took the largest tumble in five months, though some of the decline was muted by a forecast of economic growth from a top ... July 29 (Bloomberg) -- Moody's Corp., whose founder John Moody created credit ratings in 1909, reported a 19 percent drop in second-quarter profit as the worldwide economic slowdown damped demand for debt rankings.

I see no one else has mentioned this, but the Senate cut funding on the
JSF to the tune of 500~ million last week. The only place I saw it
reported was in the AP, but we knew about it rather quickly as my
company contracts for GE working on part of it.
I thought the cuts to the F22 were because we had the JSF coming up? If we're cutting that then what are we going to use, F-15s with duct tape?

Muffy @ 805. The MSM marching orders today are two-fold. First, those evil Republicans stopped health care. Second, look at those crazy birthers. "The One" can't be handed a political defeat. Right now, if I was old and famous, I would be hiring a food taster. They need a celebrity death to distract from the bad news.

Susan Estrich posted a story this morning memorializing a 17-year old girl (friend of her daughter) who was abducted and murdered by a scumbag from skid row. It points to the pathologies of liberal parents who send their kids out into the lion's den. Reality-based parents should view this as a cautionary tale.
