That's one hell of a storm. Here's hoping everyone battens down the hatches really, really tight.

Is this going to affect your future travel plans?

The problem you will find with nylon strings/classical guitars is lack of volume in ensembles with steel stringed guitars. They're also more time consuming to restring and simple magnetic pickups won't work if you want to amplify it.

The LAND OF THE FREE and HOME OF THE BRAVE will still be kicking azz for quite a few generations. We're just getting warmed up. :D FC, you overestimate China. It has far too many social problems to solve and a repressive totalitarian government that can barely keep the lid on the pot. India is much ...

I asked him twice for a budget and first time he set no figure, second time he said a million dollars. He's being a dink so I'm doing the minimum. Thanks for your help, folks.

Freind of mine's son wants the ultimate gaming rig. Son wants Alienware something but dad is confused, turns to me (who once knew about such things but not anymore) for recommendations, says money is no object but Alienware is too expensive. :roll: Dad is not capable of properly building a system, i...

I can't say I pay much attention to the cults of personalities in Israeli politics but I'm already reading that the withdrawals are being claimed by the Palestinians as a military-style victory over Israel rather than a peace offering. No good deed will go unpunished, I fear. I really hope I'm wrong...

FC, I think Bibi is correct in his predictions and Isreal will be forced to take it all back at some future point. However, the gesture must be made by Isreal in an honest effort to break the impasse. Will the Palestinians appreciate it and take advantage of this opportunity to build the homeland th...

Let's wait for the constitution to be written and ratified before we get all *meet the new boss same as the old boss*. Edit Update: That said, yep, we can't really do any more than present an example, explain it's benefits and hope they agree it's a fit. It won't surprise me, though, if the Iraqis g...

I thought it was clever. Don't sweat the legal stuff (or the cheapshots). My only suggestion is to use a drawn-style font for the text in the balloons.

Actually that version is pretty mangled. The way I heard it the punchline is the French colonel barks out *Bring me my brown pants!* after hearing why the English wear red coats.

Either way, French-bashing just isn't the fun it used to be.

Ice, I do sort of the same thing. Lacking a distance computer, GE's path function enables me to determine the length of my daily ride.

Knowing the rather permissive sexual nature of Japanese males (rape comics, girls' worn underwear from vending machines, etc.), I think we can guess where this is heading.

I'm just surprised it's not a Sailor Moon android.

If you don't make a large salary, you're probably being retained. Last big layoff I was part of took seven rounds and they began with the *two-fer* folks, as in those it would take two others getting layed off to equal the savings of laying off just one mid-level manager or line person with too many...

It is far less ethical/sound to let the people who stand to gain financially define what is against the law and how much to levy for violations. That sort of arrangement seems much more at home in corrupt third-world dictatorships than in a democratic society supposedly infused with checks and balan...

Gives a good overview of some of the conflicts of interest inherent in our traffic law systems. There's also alot of information about speed limits.

bash

Beating a speeding ticket has a long, proud history in America and I enjoy keeping the tradition alive. Mostly it started because I found cops far too rude and full of themselves (public servants, my butt), and many traffic laws merely a cover for local revenue generation. The whole *speed trap* thi...

Avoiding Traffic Points: When stopped, say nothing incriminating and don't be a smartass or show attitude. Stay in car, roll down window, gather license and registration, hold these while having your hands at the top of the wheel so the cop can see you are no threat. From the moment you are stopped,...

Wouldn't it be sweet if it turned out to be Wilson?

It's interesting (very) that Wilson himself is now acknowledging his wife was no longer in a clandestine profile when Novak identified her. Appears Joe is trying to have his yellowcake and eat it too.

If true, this would finally provide a little insight into the NYT's about-face and Miller's martyrdom. Why do I get the feeling I'm watching an old Roadrunner cartoon? BOOM!

Backtracking... :p OK, the VF photo was after Novak's piece. Me culpa but I'm in the middle of moving so I haven't had net access for about a week except through work and admittedly I haven't been my usual fact-checking self. :P Anyway, I'm saying the CIA didn't initiate the investigation, the DoJ d...

I imagine among the biggest questions the grand jury investigators are facing is not simply who *outed* Plame but whether she was even capable of being outed. I'm not sure how the CIA shifts designations or how often they review whether someone has compromised themselves. Some have claimed she was c...

bash

Well, that's one assumption. The other being the partisan clamoring for an investigation from the FoJ (Friends of Joe) that smelled Republican blood in the water. To have declined to investigate would have inevitably led to screams of obstruction, stonewalling and cover-up during a critical time in ...

I'll wait for the grand jury to conclude it's investigation. I don't think we've heard both shoes drop yet and I can't reconcile the New York Times protecting Rove, especially during the last election.

roid, that second quote. WTF? Al Qaeda has been claiming authorship of everything so that entire line is bogus. We're not demonizing anyone that's not already demonizing themselves.

bash

The various groups of militants and terrorists have very little in common beyond a love for Islam and a hatred for the West. Of course they're climbing on each other's shoulders to look bigger, meaner and more organized. As such I think it's acceptable to use the blanket term Al Qaeda for them as if...

We're a very litigious society. However in this instance I stand with Lothar in that reading between the lines feels like some backstory of bad blood between the rescuer and the local authorities. Add to that that the rescuer makes them look like they're not doing their job and we have a measure of ...

Not that it should necessarily matter but a Google search on the guy reveals he's quite an active Christian conservative writer/blogger. So, it's a bit more than just one post on a bbs.
