Morning lizards...anyone interested in buying 100 or so locomotives?
P.S. Don't let the 'Canadian National' fool you- most of the locomotives listed are being kept in Illinois.

Good morning lizards. In about 18 hours, I'll be on the road, heading to Talladega, Alabama to meet up with 160,000 or so of my closest friends for an afternoon of racing and other merriment.

In 1955 a physic was asked what would be considered the greatest threat to the earth in fifty years.
He answered,
"hairspray"
and disappeared into obscurity.

Simplifying Politics!
While walking down the street one day an 'Member of Parliament' is
tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there
is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so
we're not sure what to do with you.'
'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.
'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have
you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to
spend eternity.'
'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP.
'I'm sorry, but we have our rules..'
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,
down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green
golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are
all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake
his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at
the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and
champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly %26 nice guy who has
a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that
before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises...
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter
is waiting for him.
'Now it's time to visit heaven.'
So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from
cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and,
before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose
your eternity.'
The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have
said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be
better off in hell.'
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to
hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land
covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting
it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. 'I don't
understand,' stammers the MP. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf
course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and
danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage
and my friends look miserable.
What happened?'
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we were campaigning.. ..
Today you voted.'

A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window, stating the following: "HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer."
A short time afterwards, a dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it and whined.
Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However, the dog looked determined, so he lead him into the office. Inside, the dog jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager.
The manager said "I can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type." The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager and gave it to him, then jumped back on the chair.
The manager was stunned, but then told the dog "the sign says you have to be good with a computer." The dog jumped down again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to enter and execute a perfect program, that worked flawlessly the first time.
By this time the manager was totally dumb-founded! He looked at the dog and said "I realize that you are a very intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities. However, I *still* can't give you the job."
The dog jumped down and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the sentences that told about being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The manager said "yes, but the sign *also* says that you have to be bilingual."
The dog looked at the manager calmly and said, "Meow!"

Book Chavez Gave to Obama Is Used as Core Text on Many College Campuses
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez wasn't the first to discover the book he gave to President Obama last week in an attempt to ease diplomatic tensions — college students in the U.S. have been turning its pages for years.
The 317-page "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent" has been identified on the syllabi of at least 20 U.S. colleges and universities since 2003, and it's been taught for decades on American campuses.
The virulently anti-American book tells how for 500 years Europe and then the U.S. exploited Latin America, leaving it impoverished and governed by corrupt leaders...

BTW, what the hell is up with having a gay judge at the Miss USA pageant? Who's bright idea was it to put a homosexual male on the panel who finds women off-putting and unattractive so that he can judge how attractive the contestants are? That just goes beyond the borders of absurd. I mean....wouldn't a lesbian judge have made more sense?

Arek Santikian, 21, a UCLA economics major who helped organize the protest for the Armenian Youth Federation, said he worked for a year on Obama's campaign and was devastated that the president skirted the genocide issue.
"When we are promised something this meaningful and it doesn't happen, it leaves us without hope," Santikian said. "And that was not his message."

This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees South to avoid a collision.
Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees North to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

I can easily tolerate a correction and education on the matter.
There seems to a lot of slamming of YEC's and conservatives lately, not just leftists. Some going against the grain of huffing and puffing on some populist causes.
If this place turns into the alternate universe HuffPo or Kos I probably won't post here much. So, coming here to 'slam leftists' doesn't interest me. If that's what you're here for, so be it.

Never happen. The cognitive dissonance and dissociation she befogs her mind with are too strong. Narcissistic defenses too indurated. Paranoid ideational system too ramified.

While Drudge Report is worrying about swine flu, Pakistan is still in trouble.
Not much news here that we didn't have on Wednesday, except that the Taliban in Buner province are now roaming uninhibited through Mardan province as well. But the article correctly labels that "opportunistic". There's nothing important in Mardan except insofar as it extends the encirclement of Swabi province.
The places to watch are Mansehra province to the east, where the Taliban could cut off water and power to Islamabad; and the aforementioned Swabi to the south, which includes certain highways used by the more civilised portion of the country.

Obama and his minions are doing what they can to save the jobs of the Auto Workers, but don't give a shit about the loss of jobs their defense cuts are going to cause among the Aerospace Workers, such as myself and others here at the Lockheed Martin plant in Orlando (UAW Local 788, for those keeping score at home). I got laid off the last time a Democrat was in the White House (Clinton in '93). I don't want to have to go through that again. Okay, the rant is over...for now.

Ace had a thread up yesterday telling his followers to tone it down in the comments as the vitriol may be scaring away badly needed advertisers. He doesn't run a blog, he runs an internet frat house.
Yeah but it looks like it was a "stop saying 'cocksucker' or the sponsors will bail" kind of post rather than a "stop being insufferable assholes or the sponsors will bail" kind. I don't think he was in anyway trying to civilize the Star Wars cantina he's allowed to form there.

Fair enough. How about you start a thread that you feel is more to your liking and we'll see if it flies. I'm quick to jump in on ridiculing leftists or their policies. However, 'slamming the core of the leftists instead of an acquiescence that affirms sanity' sounds like you just want a good fight or want to pick a fight against your regular foil, no matter what it's over.
That's exactly what Kos looks like when I go there.

Yeah, I saw that. I was hoping he'd say something about the vitriol against LGF, but he was warning against dropping misogynistic catchwords.
As for the frat house atmosphere (beyond the misogyny, which we don't get to blame Ace for, since he's laid down the law): just like Charles has his standards, Ace has his. I'm fine with people blowing off steam; some people need to do that online and I haven't always been angelic myself. I draw the line at slander, racism, and antiSemitism, personally, and Ace does pretty well with keeping the latter two at least shunned if not banned.
Ace loses me with his open threads of "hey everyone! we're bashing SHARMUTA in here! woo hooo!". I know he doesn't say that, but whenever he opens a post with mention of LGF he KNOWS that's what his commenters are itching to do.
He's a sight better than Jeff Goldstein though; I just don't understand what's happened to that man.

That thread he threw up about LGF the other day without any editorial comment was a masterpiece of passive aggressive behavior. He knew what would happen, and let it happen. THAT was his passive editorial comment.
It was very passive-aggressive, cowardly and cold-hearted way to treat someone who's been nothing but a friend. If he had articulated what his beef was, I could at least respect that more than this subtle middle finger.

Ace of Spades has never impressed me (the few times I've visited it and read through the front page) as a site for critical analysis of for breaking new ground. Seems more like cheerleading. Some people like that and apparently others need it, but that approach ends up creating followers, not thinkers or originators.
Few blogs out there try to plow new ground. It is much easier to just keep telling people what they want to hear. However, it is only when we are challenged to think anew that we gain new insight into topics.

I was over there for the first of the two, and he had commented, and was pretty neutral. He didn't pick up a brick to throw, but he didn't really discourage people either. I posted a bit in defense of Charles but there are a couple of people there who argue like they're part of a Monty Python skit, and I finally had to just get out because we were getting nowhere.

What exactly started the LGF hate there then?
I really can't speak for Ace, since he hasn't spoken for himself.
But I do know what started the LGF hate at Goldstein's: It was Charles's comment that "I hope Obama fails" was irresponsible. Some disclosure here - I sided with Goldstein over that one, initially, and defended him here (and Charles over there, because hey, I like living dangerously). I think most of the Right went with Goldstein - except for Patterico, but his blog sucks ass anyway, so he didn't matter.
But then Goldstein went further and further trying to find something on LGF to post on his site as a focus of "Hundred Comment Hate". People like SmallDeadAnimals's Kate and, apparently, Ace and his bunch were still high on the idea of Goldstein as Ulysses Grant - "I can't spare him, he fights" - and since the Right certainly hasn't been getting any leadership from the Republicans these days, they followed Goldstein.
(This above was just my observation and could well be wrong... feel free to downding this one if it strikes you as wholly off base, but if so, tell me where it's wrong.)

You're right, you didn't say that. I put word's into your mouth, but for comedic purposes. Altering your stance is not what happened.
You don't understand if you think 'we're reaching across the aisle.' What's been happening is a lowering of the crazy quotient, distancing LGF from;
Laws and legislation enabling the teaching of creationism in public schools
overheated and inflamed rhetoric about a DHS report
Charles is In Charge on these, and we're all the better for it. I'm sorry if that's boring to you, but it's not to me.

re: #147 Zimriel
But I do know what started the LGF hate at Goldstein's: It was Charles's comment that "I hope Obama fails" was irresponsible. Some disclosure here - I sided with Goldstein over that one, initially, and defended him here (and Charles over there, because hey, I like living dangerously). I think most of the Right went with Goldstein - except for Patterico, but his blog sucks ass anyway, so he didn't matter.
But then Goldstein went further and further trying to find something on LGF to post on his site as a focus of "Hundred Comment Hate". People like SmallDeadAnimals's Kate and, apparently, Ace and his bunch were still high on the idea of Goldstein as Ulysses Grant - "I can't spare him, he fights" - and since the Right certainly hasn't been getting any leadership from the Republicans these days, they followed Goldstein.

I don't want to get in an argument with you over this. It's written very badly. The term "right-wing" is thrown around too much with no commentary. We already know that the Zero administration lives in 9/10 and he and his leftist buddies tend to hold real American patriots with some level of contempt because they are a reminder to them that we aren't X number of commie policies away from world peace and utopia. It is self evident.
That being said I agreed with Charles that it wasn't a cause for unhinged hysterics and that is exactly how I would describe the reaction I saw to it on just about every blog, Fox news, and every conservative talk radio show. So my comment was intended to mean, "is Charles refusal to freak out over this issue the main reason he is suddenly persona non-grata with those who arent kissing nazi or creationist ass?"

So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice." - Carl Spackler

It was a natural progression from the start and I got hooked on the fix.
Something went wrong in the past few months.
Sticking it to the creationists is all well and fun but I was a fan of the leftist bashing and am left wanting as of late. It has been suggested I start a thread on the matter and I believe heartily that discussing a concept is far superior to discussing an incident. From what I gather the concept of leftist bashing is not a welcome concept here. I misjudged and am left to clean up my topic.

Then we're more or less in agreement. Speaking as someone who's
A) A veteran
B) Personally impacted by the economic downturn
C) Lukewarm on abortion
D) Lukewarm on illegal immigration
E) Lukewarm on same-sex marrige
F) Lukewarm on 0bama
G) Adamantly opposed to more gun-control
I almost felt as though the DHS brief was singling me out (lumping me in the neo-nazis was just the icing on that pr. The really strange thing was that I went to a job fair a few weeks before the memo came out. It was geared towards veterans and there were all kinds of gov't agencies, trade schools, defense contractors and some Fortune 500 companies present. I'd say recruiter with the biggest booth was hands-down the Department of Homeland Security. And it was a safe bet that I wasn't the only military veteran present who was pro-2nd amendment, anti gay marrige/illegal immigration/abortion...so that Neapolitano's briefing becomes even more gaffe-tastic by viewing the DHS' presence at that job fair as a contradictory 'You're all potential domestic terrorists; Wanna come work for us?' ....

More locomotive for sale- direct from the railway itself without middlemen or leasing companies.
The SW1500 is a 1,500 h.p. end-cab switcher built by EMD in the mid 1960s to late 1970s. Ideal for yard and industrial switching, transfer drags and short-haul runs. End cab switchers are something of a rarity these days as they've mostly been purged from the rosters of the Class 1 railways (Canadian Pacific, Burlington Northern-Santa Fe, CSX Transportation, Union Pacific, Canadian National and Norfolk Southern) in favor of using the long-hood roadswitchers and new 'green' Genset locomotives (when the latter is not bursting into flames, at least) for those tasks.
Despite being nearly 40 years old, these particular ones for sale by Iowa shortline operator Cedar Rapids and Iowa City fetch a high price because of their relative scarcity and the fact that two of them have been outfitted for remote-control operation...

That just goes beyond the borders of absurd. I mean....wouldn't a lesbian judge have made more sense?

Salamantis Sat, Apr 25, 2009 4:14:14am |
A fellow of Scandinavian extraction from northern Maine won a call-in radio contest one August. His prize was a ten grand and a two week all expenses paid vacation in a Miami Beach rooftop condo. He was looking forward to it because he had heard rumors that the sun down there was so strong that it could actually darken one's skin. He had not, however, ever heard of sunscreen.
He got settled in his room one bright sunshiny morning after a red eye flight, then took a lounge chair out to the deck, stripped off all his clothes, and began reading the first chapter of War and Peace. Within 15 minutes he had fallen fast asleep.
It was late that afternoon when he awakened, and he soon discovered, to his great dismay, that his skin was lobsterfied. The pain was excruciatingly intense, especially on those more personal and private areas that had rarely if ever seen the light of day.
He grimaced as he gingerly and gently pulled his clothes loosely on, and then hit the elevator to get back down the one floor to his room.
On the way down, the elevator operator quietly informed him that a lady of the evening from across town had scheduled an appointment with a client who had to cancel due to illness, and that she was willing to go for half price so the long trip wouldn't be a total loss. He also informed him that she was a bit on the older side, but her long experience had morphed into yummy expertise. Since our contest winner was flush with unearned cash, he decided to give her a go, tipped the elevator operator, and told him to send her around.
She was indeed older, but still nice looking, and in fine shape, so they went at it. The experience was like approacavoidance syndrome for him; ecstatic and agonizing all at once. But of course, once he climaxed, the pleasure was gone, and he was left with the burning pain.
So he jumped up out of the bed and fled to the kitchen, so he could open the fridge door and feel the cool rush of chill air in his fiery member - and what should he spy in there, but a tall cool glass of buttermilk?
Without a second thought, he grabbed the glass of buttermilk out of the fridge and snaked his suffering pud into it. The relief was substantial and instantaneous; his scrunched face relaxed into a broad grin as he went "Ahhhhh!"
Meanwhile, the pross had jumped up to follow him, suspecting that he might be trying to skip out without paying, and observed the spectacle. Then, sudden enlightenment struck, and she remarked, "I've been hooking for more than twenty years, but this is the first time I've ever seen how you guys reloaded that thing!"

I make a fresh salad (almost) every day - chopped tomato, cucumber, small radish, lettuce (the white part only), red sweet pepper, spring onion, olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, pounded black pepper.

Many of the stories on the new flu cases I've read today seem like Don't Nobody Panic PR pieces. This one may be a little different:
Deadly flu strain threatens Mexico and U.S.
Genetic analysis shows the flu strain is a never-before-seen mixture of swine, human and avian viruses.The fact most of the dead were aged between 25 and 45 was seen as a worrying sign linked to pandemics, as seasonal flu tends to be more deadly among the elderly and the very young.
[snip]In New York City, health officials were investigating what had sickened scores of students who fell ill with flu-like symptoms in a Queens high school on Thursday and Friday. The symptoms were reported as mild and a city health official said he could not speculate about which flu strain was responsible.

— Dave Barry
"Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping toward destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. No one can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us."

Awesome speech by Tony Blair to Chicago Council on Global Affairs:
CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY
"It is almost ten years to the day that I stood in this city and gave an address at the height of the Kosovo crisis. In that speech, I set out what I described as a doctrine of international community that sought to justify intervention, including if necessary military intervention, not only when a nation's interests are directly engaged; but also where there exists a humanitarian crisis or gross oppression of a civilian population.
It was a speech that argued strongly for an active and engaged foreign policy, not a reactive or isolationist one: better to intervene than to leave well alone. Be bold, adventurous even in what we can achieve.
Many, at the time, described the speech as hopelessly idealistic; dangerous even. And, probably, in the light of events since then, some would feel vindicated. As for me, I am older, better educated by the events that shaped my premiership, but I still believe that those who oppress and brutalise their citizens are better put out of power than kept in it."

Why has the US never gone across to the metric system. So much easier. 10 base baby 10 base everything.
Good morning, Lizardia.
(Morning, Bat, and Happy Birthday!)
The English system survives because it's mainly intuitive. I can make rough measurements in inches with the first joint of my right index finger, which is exactly one inch long. My height is exactly six feet, zero inches- two yards or one fathom. Judging the power output of reciprocating engines (ground vehicle or aircraft) in horsepower, and the thrust of jet engines in pounds, is a more logical way of handling them than trying to do both in kW, which while more mathematically elegant does not take into account how their energy is applied to work. (For large rockets, I do admit that Newton/seconds have their uses in measuring ISp, but I still prefer to know the thrust in tons as well.) And measuring the energy of projectiles in foot-pounds is, again, more intuitive than doing so in Joules. (Foot-pound; the energy required to raise one pound of mass one foot straight up against one "G".)
I understand and use KMS where appropriate, but I also convert the figures into English in my head when needed. About the only place I stick religiously to KMS is in dealing with ranges or spacial velocities in an SF sense- simply because c, the speed of light, is 300,000 KPS, which is an even number, as opposed to 186,262 mi/sec.
And of course, there is no "metric" way around the figure for pi.

All they 'd have to do is open their borders to North Korean refugees. Millions would flee, depopulating North Korea without a shot being fired.

I think you have single-handedly explained why KMS never took over the US. People had developed an innate understand of measurement using the English method that they couldn't grasp learning KMS afterwards. I suppose if you grow up with KMS you might be able to adapt, but the English method is very fixed in reality and measuring actual objects and forces.
Personally, I have no problem with KMS because I've done all the physics work using KMS, but I really don't have a good sense for how that translates into reality. Which is why I never became a physicist. Most people, it seems, could care less as long as they can decide how long to cut a board. For them, English is fine.
But then, I have a feeling for numbers and numerical systems that most people don't have. As well as a deep abiding love for chocolate.

Personally, I have no problem with KMS because I've done all the physics work using KMS, but I really don't have a good sense for how that translates into reality. Which is why I never became a physicist. Most people, it seems, could care less as long as they can decide how long to cut a board. For them, English is fine.
But then, I have a feeling for numbers and numerical systems that most people don't have. As well as a deep abiding love for chocolate.
I understand that with the English method any engineering or physic equations are a lot more accurate. But everyday usage the metric system is just so damn easy to learn.

That, and it will limit how much in the way of deductions people will actually get on their income tax paperwork. It probably wouldn't affect me simply because of the amount of medical deductions we have with the son, but it would almost certainly make sure that very few people get to keep more of their own money.

My classmates didn't think so when we were larning metric in junior high. I couldn't understand why they were having problems. I still don't. But as I learned English first, I do often convert measurements in my head for some things, like Kg.

re: #467 quickjustice
The murderous North Korea regime could be brought down without a shot being fired, but China and South Korea won't cooperate.
All they 'd have to do is open their borders to North Korean refugees. Millions would flee, depopulating North Korea without a shot being fired. Trouble is, caring for those refugees would be very costly. That why China and South Korea won't do it. In the case of the South Koreans, I'd call it selfish.
More self-preservation, actually. The PRC has long hoped for the ROK to do something like that, or be forced to do so by a "kinder, gentler" U.S. administration. Because the economic burden of trying to deal with such a massive influx would seriously damage South Korea, weakening it and thus making it less of a competitor with the PRC for export markets. The PRC would like to see similar things happen to Japan and Taiwan, both for purely economic reasons and (in the case of Taiwan) the sheer pleasure of getting payback.
According to my best bud, the E-5 (who's been there), ROK military intelligence also found out that one of the PRNK army's game plans for invading the South consists of flooding refugees across the border- using them as cover to send in infiltration teams to attack ROK military and political targets. The next step would be full-on invasion by the NKPLA. You can bet that Lil' Kim is panting for the opportunity to try this one.
As for the PRC opening its borders, not going to happen, ever. There is no love lost between Lil' Kim and the old men in the Forbidden City. Plus, as it stands, he's just too good a cat's-paw against South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and by extension, us. Plus, the PRC has already told Lil' Kim two things;
1. If you start another war with the South, and we have to come in a rescue you again, you become a Chinese province.
2. If, as a result of you losing such a war, a large number of refugees comes across our borders, we will return them, and replace you with a government we consider more stable. (And you know how we do that.)
So any way you slice it, North Korea is not a problem that can be solved easily. Or, frankly, at all... as long as Lil' Kim, or indeed any member of his family, is in charge.
Have to run. Have a great day, Lizards.
cheers

I'm not saying that there are an infinite number of infinities. But there are at least two kinds of infinity. Think of it this way: You know there are an infinite number of integers ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ... . And yet, the real numbers (fractions, square roots, and everything inbetween) are infinite as well. So are the number of real numbers the same as the number of integers?
Turns out, the answer is no. There are a lot more real numbers than there are integers. And yes, this can be proven.

re: #505 eon
Great insights! If a policy of admitting refugees were deliberate, however, you could control the flood, and organize in advance for refugee resettlement. The situation would be similar in some respects to that confronting Wet Germany when East Germany collapsed. Taxes to support resettlement would go up. On the other hand, less blood would be shed.
In some respects it's a trade off. Less risk of war with the Norks if you admit refugees in an orderly fashion, but with increased costs. More risk of war and catastrophic refugee migration if the current situation festers, and the regime fails.
If the Kim regime falls, and chaos ensues in North Korea, you'll have the refugee issue anyway, and in a way you can't control. Maybe China taking over North Korea isn't such a bad option after all. The stinking mess then becomes their problem.

Not admitting to having understood most of what you just said, I can see intuitively that there would be more real numbers than integers, since each integer could be broken into an infinite number of fractional components between one and the next "in line" so to speak, like the fractions of 1/4 1/2 etc between 0 and 1. Now, this thinking is likely (probably) all wet, but it makes farmer's sense if no other.

For modern readers, the Greek "logos" is better translated the "Mind", as in the Mind of G-d. The "Word" does have important analogies to the Hebrew Tanak (Old Testament), however. For example, in Judaism, words coming from G-d or the Prophets are imbued with great power. The Hebrews believed that G-d spoke the world into existence: "Let there be light. And it was so." Devout Jews will not say the name of G-d out loud, for fear of offense. And of course the Hebrew kings tried to murder the prophets to prevent them from saying anything. If a prophet could be silenced before he could get his fateful words out, then the bad things he was prophesying would not happen.

So a bunch of South/Central American countries got together and issued a screed calling for the end of capitalism. No surprise there. But one segment in particular reminded me of something that could very easily be included in the Dem. Party platform. These are the guidelines for the "new" system that the dictators and thiugs want to replace bad old American freedom.
"A system based on: solidarity and complementarity, not competition;
- a system in harmony with our mother earth and not plundering of human resources;
- a system of cultural diversity and not cultural destruction and imposition of cultural values and lifestyles alien to the realities of our countries;
- a system of peace based on social justice and not on imperialist policies and wars;
- in summary, a system that recovers the human condition of our societies and peoples and does not reduce them to mere consumers or merchandise."

Let's take these in order shall we?
1. Nuclear war; no need to fret, nuclear weapons have made "great power" war obsolete. Don't believe me? Name one "great power" war since August 1945.
2. Global warming; puhleez.
3. Windows; even though I am an Apple guy, you cannot deny the positive impact of Windows on humankind.

escalated violence against the pirates is the solution...some people always get it exactly backwards, part of the fantasy syndrome they live by
exactly. why would the pirates stop? they are on easy street, for the most part
it has been like taking candy from babies for them. (except for the u.s.)
look at the millions they have made in ransom. this is lucrative "work" for these thugs. they are so industrious.
rush joked a few wks. ago that if the car companies worked even half this hard they wouldn't need bail outs.
so far these pirates have met w/ little incentive to stop, except fire hoses.
if they are blown out of the water, they will stop.

My first car was a 1968 Ford LTD.
Built like a tank.
My parents bought a Hudson, mid-Fifties, one of the last made IIRC. Talk about a tank.
My mother and I were going from Camp LeJeune to a little port just up the coast, to pick up my dad (transports were coming back from a deployment.) Mother "broke convoy", a no-no, getting in between a pair of six-by's. The Marine driving the truck behind us was following close, trying to "get back" at her.
The convoy slowed down. Mother stopped a couple of feet behind the high bumper of the truck in front. The kid behind us didn't stop in time, his bumper contacted the trunk lid, pushing the Hudson's hood beneath the bumper ahead.
It wasn't a serious accident by any stretch, but I remember the Marines standing around the car, absolutely marvelling at the (only) slight dents in the trunk and hood. Those were VERY heavy trucks.
/one Marine commented that the car must be made of armor plate

Manfred Rouhs' political career began in 1979 in the CDU youth organizations Junge Union (JU), and student union (SU). 1981 he moved to the Boys National Democrats (JN), the youth organization of the extreme right NPD.
Who is the NPD? The nazis- but robert spencer would like you to take mr rouhs at face value when he says he's not:
The party's platform says that Germany is larger than the present-day Federal Republic, and calls for revision of the post-war border acknowledgements. A map of Germany on the party's website omits the border that divides Germany from Austria and leaves out the Oder-Neisse Line, which established the limits of federal Germany to the east and was agreed upon with Poland in 1990.
This is the party that mr rouhs was involved in the youth group, and I'm supposed to believe he's a decent ally in the counter-jihad?! There's more- here's the NPD's german wiki page, translated:
The objective of the NPD is the creation of a negative as it considers influences from abroad strongly demarcated Germany. All areas of life, whether in business, politics or in culture, only German national to be oriented. "Multiethnic excesses, which are currently exposed to the German people" and "over-" should be avoided.
Again- mr spencer wants us to take mr rouhs at his word he's not a nazi. I think I'll pass.

Hi Rose! He's giving it to you as a wedding gift? Holy smokes, that's a GREAT GIFT - but I suspect you've got yourself a good man, too.
BTW, how's your Marine Corps son doing these days?
He is a good man, you bet.
My other good man is still in San Diego, ready and waiting to go.

NO! It's not a lost cause, but y'all need to get at least 3 gig more RAM in there (they come in Sticks which even I managed to put in!) though the HD does sound kinda small for a VISTA. But I guarantee that doubling or tripling the RAM will greatly improve the performance.

Far-Right Poster Girl Turns Out to Be Czech Erotic Model
A German far-right group has run into trouble for a publication directed towards teens in Cologne. After first angering advertisers who felt they had been duped into supporting a xenophobic student magazine named Objektiv, the right-wing bigots are now accused of stealing pictures used in the 24-page publication.
Ironically, the photo in question is of an attractive blond in a tank top and short skirt next to the slogan: "German is Hot!" But in an embarrassing faux pas for the German nationalists, a Berlin Web blog found out that the Teutonic hottie is actually a Czech lingerie model. So much for offering a "free-patriotic point of view," as was supposedly the remit of the less-than-objective Objektiv.
"I didn't know anything about it," said Martin Schöppe, a Cologne high school student. His sentiments are echoed by Manfred Rouhs, an official from Pro Köln in the city government. "I can definitely and officially say that no one has contacted us about copyright infringement," Rouhs said, even though he could not explain why Jaimy's photo had been removed from the group's Web site. "I'm not familiar with that."
Having a hard time finding any info on this magazine- I think it's new.

What are your hardware specs? M$ lies like a rug on the min. specs for Vista.
The min seems to be zero in some cases. My daughter's laptop came with Vista Home Premium 64bit. A couple days ago when I turned it on, I was greeted with a Windows XP logo, followed by a launch of Windows Media Center. Exit'd that, and it went into hibernate mode - which I'd specifically disabled in the Vista registry months ago.

All I can tell you is that its a Compaq presario sr5601p. memory 1GB,Harddrive 250GB. Thanks for trying to help but I think it's a lost cause.
The CPU Athlon X2 Dual-Core is okay.
Memory, bump it up to 2GB or if you can 4GB.
HD is okay unless you're into photography or video.
What's killing you is this machine has shared graphics. Vista is a graphics hog. You machine uses the main CPU and memory to process graphics, that needs to be off loaded to a graphics card.

Citizens' movement per Cologne (Pro-Koln)
The association was launched on 5 June 1996 in Cologne-Dünnwald as an offshoot of the German League for People and Homeland (DLVH) by former members of the Republican Party was founded. Among the founding members include the publisher Manfred Rouhs and Attorney Markus Beisicht. Together with other former members of REP, including Harald Neubauer and Karl Richter, were Rouhs and Beisicht already in the founding of the DLVH been involved in the 1991 to 1993 in the Group's strength in the Cologne city council was represented.
I would think "German League for People and Homeland" would be enough of a give away as to what sort of political party DLVH is, but just in case:
The DLVH was founded in 1991 as a party. Prominent was a founding member of the former NPD federal chairman Martin Mussgnug.
These nazis may move about from group to group, but does anyone honestly think they've changed their philosophies?

JENNIFER RUBIN: Government Bullying of Private Industry More Serious than Imagined. “Three cheers for Andrew Cuomo! No, honestly. He’s taken a break from extorting AIG execs to give up their bonuses to expose a far more frightening extortion plot: the effort by former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to force Bank of America to go through with the Merrill Lynch deal — and conceal the mammoth losses from the shareholders.” I continue to wonder why this isn’t a massive securities law violation.

Telling the Truth
Let the hearings begin!
Some Democrats, from the White House on down, are pushing the idea of a "truth commission," à la South Africa, to deal with the "harsh measures" used by the Bush administration in interrogating al Qaeda detainees. Good. Let's have lots of truthtelling. Please bring it on.Let's tell the truth about Bush's conduct of the war on terror, which is that it's been a success. His ultimate legacy hasn't been written--Iraq is improved, but not out of danger--but the one thing that can be said without reservation is that the country was kept safe. He delivered on the main charge of his office in time of emergency, in a crisis without guidelines or precedent. Attacks took place in Spain, and in London, in Indonesia and India, but not on American soil, which was the obvious target of choice. Bush couldn't say this before he left office, for obvious reasons, and after he left, attention switched to the new president. This little fact dropped down the memory hole, but with all this discussion, it will rise to the surface. Let the hearings begin!
Also dropped down the memory hole--along with the names of all the Democrats who thought Saddam was a menace who cried out for removal--is what the ambience was like in late 2001 and 2002, when fears of anthrax and suitcase bombs ran rampant, and people on all sides tried to seem tough. Let's tell the truth about all the liberals who went on record supporting real torture, not to
mention the Democrats in Congress, when it was cool to want to seem tough on our enemies, who couldn't be too warlike. Then war and tough measures stopped being cool, and "world opinion" became more important. Nothing like statements under oath to revive ancient memories! And rewind the tapes.Let's get at the truth too about the word "torture," which to different people, means different things. Some think "torture" means standing on the 98th floor of a burning skyscraper and realizing you have a choice between jumping and being incinerated. Some think torture is being crushed when a building implodes around you. Some think torture is not thinking you might drown for several minutes, but looking at burning buildings on television and knowing that people you love are inside them. They remember that being crushed, incinerated, or killed in a jump from the 98th story happened to almost 3,000 blameless Americans (as well as a number of foreigners), and that 125 Pentagon employees were killed at their desks, while many survivors suffered terrible burns. They think the choice between stopping this from happening again by slapping around or scaring the hell out of a cluster of brigands, or leaving the brigands alone and letting it happen again, is a no-brainer.
Not much polling has been done to date about attitudes on waterboarding and torture held by the general public (as opposed to MoveOn.org and the Washington press corps), but it would surely be done in the event of hearings and trials. Not many people think being slapped hard is the same thing as having to jump from a building. Democrats might find the truth about this to be inconvenient indeed. ...
Great article!

Obama’s budget cutting - small potatoes
Lots of folks are having fun pointing out that Obama’s “$100 million budget cut” on a $3.69 trillion budget is pretty small potatoes.
Speaking of small potatoes, here’s my analogy:
A Big Mac has 540 calories.
A small McDonalds French Fries has 230. Looking at the picture at the McDonalds website, I could believe that there are maybe 42 fries in there, so call it perhaps 5.4 calories per individual fry.
So, Obama’s budget is like saying
“Please give me 370 Big Macs … and one french fry. No, not “a small order of fries.” Just a single, lone french fry.
Wait.
Actually, I’m trying to lose weight.
Cancel that french fry - I’ll just have the 370 Big Macs.“

He promised.However half of his deficit is still double GWB's.
I thought GWB's stank to high heaven!
It stank due to the complete lack of liberal programs!

Spencer may not be a Nazi - but anybody who can make common cause with people who march behind a flag with the German word 'ERWACHE' on it, a word well known from Nazi propaganda ('Deutschland erwache!'), is not just a collaborator, he is at the least an enabler.
I'd put him on the same level as those other famous non-nazis like Papen, Schleicher, Schacht ...

Obama legal team wants to limit defendants' rights
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overrule a 23 year-old decision that stopped police from initiating questions unless a defendant's lawyer is present, the latest stance that has disappointed civil rights and civil liberties groups.
While President Barack Obama has reversed many policies of his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, the defendants' rights case is another stark example of the White House seeking to limit rather than expand rights.
Since taking office, Obama has drawn criticism for backing the continued imprisonment of enemy combatants in Afghanistan without trial, invoking the "state secrets" privilege to avoid releasing information in lawsuits and limiting the rights of prisoners to test genetic evidence used to convict them.
Scary. Read the whole thing.

Had it been described accurately from the start, I doubt a single rational person would conclude that it was excessive in time of war. Remember, 12 minute limit per 24 hours, and it doesn't cause pain, it causes reflex actions that are unpleasant in the extreme, but there is really no danger to the terrorist.
The Dems only decided to brand it "torture" when they needed to stoke the fires of Bush derangement syndrome that propelled them into office.

re: #915 kansas There was a great deal of thought put into it! Don't you remember Hillary's National Healthcare? They put a lot of thought into that turkey, and the budgeted amount for it constitutes ONE-HALF of the 1+1/2 Trilion Dollar budget DEFICIT.*
*that is most certainly going to be MUCH WORSE than 1+1/2 Trillion dollars, as tax receipts continue to fall due to the incredible numbers of folks who are becoming or have become unemployed.
And, of course, AFAIK, Geithner STILL won't allow banks to repay any of that TARP money.
Gee, I wonder why?

NOPE! They have to have some Republicans on any investigative panel or even the MSM won't give them a pass.
And who are they gonna call as witnesses? Can't take a chance on one of them telling the truth under oath!
Well, sure they'll have Republicans. For all the good it will do.
Did you hear Hillary Clinton being questioned about what she thought about Dick Cheney's saying that the release of the memos had not included the results? Her answer was that she didn't listen to Dick Cheney. When the question was followed up, the gentleman's time conveniently expired.
That's they way these work when Democrats are in charge.

Sharm.
I am not questioning the affiliation, but I am say, if the photo is faked, then it would be best to address the mistake, and be done with it.
You keep trying to "prove" something to me, and I don't need the proof, since I am not even talking about that subject. I am talking about a possibly faked photo, which was posted here, and perhaps, if it was an honest mistake, then perhaps, it needs to be addressed.
Upding.
An altered photo is an altered photo. On the off chance I notice that without being tipped off, I then start to look for flaws and lies in the text, also. Any initial support for the subject or cause immediately gets lessened.

We should care because they work for us. While they are up there grandstanding and playing camera they aren't dealing with more pressing issues like national security and how to help the economy without taking it over and going socialist. It shows where their priorities are.

I may be off base here, but I don't think that using photo-shopped pics without noting that they are photo-shopped is wise. The spin you're using is unnerving.
You're misinterpreting me. It was definitely a mistake to use an altered pic. Charles will address it. It would have been best if we caught it first. Spencer is using it as a distraction from the essence of the story. There are dozens of unaltered pics that can be very easily found to prove the same point that Rouh and Dewinter are pals.

We are in the very best of hands:
You’ll recall that, in a gimmick entirely emblematic of post-exceptional America, Hillary Clinton gave the Russians a (mistranslated) “Reset” button. The button has certainly been “reset” — to September 10th, to a legalistic rearview mirror approach to the “War on Terror,” in which investigating Bush officials will consume far more time and effort than de-nuking Iran. The secretary of Homeland Security’s ludicrous re-classification of terrorism as “man-caused disaster,” and her boneheaded statement that the September 11th bombers had entered America from Canada (which would presumably make 9/11 a “Canadian man-caused disaster”) exemplifies the administration’s cheery indifference to all that Bush-era downer stuff.

Huh. 58% Oppose Further Investigation of U.S. Torture Allegations
President Obama and Senate Democratic leaders are opposed to more investigations of how the Bush administration treated terrorism suspects, and 58% of U.S. voters agree with them. A number of congressional Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are pushing for a wider probe.
Just 28% think the Obama administration should do further investigating of how suspected terrorists were questioned during the Bush years, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.
While the Bush administration’s handling of terrorism suspects has been a highly charged political issue,
Democrats are evenly divided over whether further investigation is necessary. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans and 62% of voters not affiliated with either major party are against more investigating.
Fifty-eight percent (58%) of liberals believe more investigating is called for, but 78% of conservatives disagree

US blasts NKorea for reactivating nuclear program
The United States on Saturday blasted North Korea's decision to reactivate its nuclear program and called for the reclusive nation to return to international denuclearization talks."We will not accept North Korea as a nuclear-weapons state," said Megan Mattson, a State Department spokeswoman.
The North's announcement that it had started reprocessing spent fuel rods to make weapons-grade plutonium came just hours after the United Nations slapped sanctions on three North Korean firms accused of backing missile development.
On April 14, the North said it would quit six-nation nuclear disarmament talks and restart its atomic weapons program after the UN Security Council issued a statement condemning the Pyongyang's controversial April 5 rocket launch.
Pyongyang says it put a satellite into orbit but the United States and its allies say the launch was a disguised long-range ballistic missile test.
"We will not accept North Korea as a nuclear-weapons state," words mean nothing unless actions are going to back them up. The Norks are banking on words, words, and more words. So is Iran.
