I'm thinking photochromic lenses might be of benefit. 11.) Swamp Fox - 01/05/2017
When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all. And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none, I can read the writing on the wall.
I'm trying to be extra good this year so Santa might have a shot at talking himself into bringing me some really good photochromed fishing glasses before I die. I'm hoping photochromic lenses are better than they were back in the day when they first (?) came out and I had a really far-out pair, but I haven't had a chance to give any modern stuff a test run yet. 12.) bluecat - 01/05/2017

Speaking of sunglasses....
Back in July I bought a pair of polarized reader SGs (with bifocals built into the lenses) via Amazon for $48 (I no longer spend real money on sunglasses, as every time I have I've invariably lost or destroyed them in short order). One of the selling points for me was the fact that the lenses are removable, allowing me to replace just them rather than the frames to when the inevitable came to pass...or so I assumed. Over the course of the next 5 months I managed to scratch and ding the lenses enough to make me want to replace them, but searching the vendor's website and the broader intertubez turned up no ability to acquire said replacements. So I sent a message to the vendor's customer support asking about how I might go about buying said replacement lenses from them and supplying my Amazon order # just so they could verify that I was in fact a customer. To my surprise, I received a very quick response explaining that they don't stock the lenses as a replacement part, so they'd just send me a whole new pair of glasses gratis...with no need to send my old ones back. About a week later the replacement pair showed up, including a new case and lens cloth just as if I'd bought them. I was really impressed with this at first, until I gave it a moment's thought and realized how ridiculous their profit margin must be on these things if they can afford to just send out whole new complete products when they receive a question about buying replacement lenses. So it just goes to show that you can't please some people no matter what. 15.) Swamp Fox - 01/05/2017
LOL...
Until you get into the upper end makers and models, I don't think there's any money (cost) in the frame. And under $100 it's probably not worth stocking straight lenses for replacement vs. offering free or discounted complete replacement. People just throw stuff away in this brave new world we're in, unless they grew up in the Depression, or their parents did...LOL I used to be a big fan and user of Gargoyles (mid-to-high two figures to mid 100's). They used to do a lens refinishing service which I think they gave up on. I think they still do a decent business in replacement lenses for some models. But below that price point, I'm sure it's just easier for most vendors to send out complete spectacles. It's just a matter if they charge anything or not. 16.) DParker - 01/05/2017
[QUOTE=Swamp Fox;46454]But below that price point, I'm sure it's just easier for most vendors to send out complete spectacles. [b]It's just a matter if they charge anything or not.[/b][/QUOTE]
Aye, there's the rub. I would have assumed they'd at least charge me enough to cover shipping + something to partially defray the amount that sending a whole new product package would cut into their margins. But the fact that they can skip that and send me the whole thing for free, no questions asked, tells me that said margin is larger than one might otherwise expect...even given Chinese slave labor. 17.) Swamp Fox - 01/05/2017
LOL...I'm sure you're right. Having used low-end glasses through mid-range and creeping up on to upper end, I've always been amazed/outraged/amused at how much money people are getting charged for mediocre or even poor quality.
Especially when people think they're getting some kind of a "performance lens" just because of the brand name. That's a real hoot unless you spend more than a few bucks, and are careful to choose what you need vs. assuming anything made by brand X is gonna be awesome for whatever you're doing. BTW: If anyone has any comments about this general topic and wants to give me their two cents for perspective, which would help for a project I am working on, please shoot me a PM. Comments on quality, lens performance, lens color, durability, customer service,, etc. The whole shebang. Thx. 18.) bluecat - 01/06/2017

There's a boxy Jeep that I think it also borrows from. One of the 4-door Wranglers, I think. Speaking of screwing up body styles, I'm calling out Jeep. I haven't seen one that I've liked in several years, maybe more. (The little Wranglers excepted. Also at least one of the Rubicons, but I don't think they make those any more.)

Red isn't my favorite color, but Ford Red always has been one of them.
I've also always preferred two-door trucks and SUV's to four, aesthetically. Practically, they usually work for me, although sometimes they're a bit of a pain. I do sometimes these days have a higher need to carry passengers than I used to, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for something I like for that.

Here's something: Seems like Monty Python images on Yahoo are largely coded "with privacy" all of a sudden, especially Holy Grail and Dead Parrot images. Not so if you do a Google search (although I don't know how to actually see the address with them, vs. just copying it in preparation to paste).
I used to be able to pick up MP images on Yahoo very easily. Now it's a huge chore. I checked my display settings and everything seems okay, plus I've never changed them in the first place. I haven't checked for anything other than Python to see if this issue applies elsewhere as well. 41.) DParker - 01/11/2017

On Yahoo, if you click on the image you then have an option to click on "Properties" to see all the dirt. Then you copy/paste the image address from that window to here.
I guess in the past when I've tried to display an image that said "with privacy," it failed here. So I got the idea that if it said "with privacy" it was a lost cause automatically. Now that this has been debunked, apparently, I'm not sure how to tell ahead of time if an image address is going to fail here or not. I don't even know how to see the image address or "protocol" or anything else using Google, LOL. Whatever I'm using there (Chrome?... "Just plain Google"? --I have no idea---LOL) just gives you an option to "copy address" without actually displaying it to you or otherwise "describing" the image. 52.) bluecat - 01/11/2017

We better not hear anything about fake news from those two (although I'm pretty sure they've both opened their pieholes about it already, without it registering on my radar).

[/QUOTE] But my favorite part was when the honorable suit from Rhode Island (Sheldon Whitehouse, D, naturally) was "grilling" the EPA nominee over "climate change" (whatever that meant to him at the moment) and thought he had a gotcha with a big poster board showing campaign contributors to the nominee's political career. It highlighted the ones which were involved in energy production. Production from oil, coal and gas, that is; not hot air, cold breezes, or the healing rays of the sun. You know, the dreaded fossil fuels. When he says it, though, it sounds like a bad thing. But who doesn't like fossils? Anyway, the poster board seemed like a big production, and signaled a major collaboration between his staff of 23-year-old interns and the local Kinko's, so I'm sure he was proud of it. He seemed like it anyway. Paraphrasing here: "You've taken a lot of money from fossil fuel companies." "Yes, and I've sued a few of them, too." "Name one you've sued up there.

Trump returns Churchill bust to the Oval Office
President Trump has returned a bust of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the Oval Office, which had been removed by his predecessor in 2009. Reporters first noticed that the bust had been placed back in the room on Friday, just as Trump was signing a series of executive orders at the Resolute desk. Obama had moved the bust to the White House residence during his first few days in office and later installed separate busts of Martin Luther King Jr. and President Lincoln in its place. A spokesperson for British Prime Minister Theresa May confirmed last week that Trump had personally asked if England would loan the bust of Churchill to the U.S. once he took office.

Bill Clinton's State of the Union speech 1995.
In his remarks, Clinton said that Americans had a right to oppose illegal immigration. Illegal aliens take jobs from Americans and “impose burdens” on taxpayers by taking welfare benefits, he said. “All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country,” Clinton said during the speech. “The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers.” ‘That’s why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens,” he continued. Clinton went on to assure Congress that in his forthcoming budget proposal he would “try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.” We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.

Well, I'll be damned.

In addition to nobody I know even noticing any impact at all, I walked around my entire office, where the staff is roughly 50% immigrants (legal...in fact our CEO is an immigrant) and told them they were all supposed to go home and be on strike. Without exception they told me, "Hey, I've got work to do, and a paycheck to collect...go away."

[QUOTE] \t NEW LEMUR SPECIES NAMED AFTER JOHN CLEESE by Hans ten Cate Sunday, 20 November 2005 Avahi cleesei weighs around a kilogram and eats leaves and buds. It is classified as "endangered" by the World Conservation Union. The lemur belongs to the wollmaki group, but is set apart from its nearest relation by its lighter fur colour and facial markings. The media has been aflurry with reports that a new species of lemur, discovered in a remote part of Madagascar, has been named after John Cleese. The news was first reported in the 12 November 2005 issue of New Scientist magazine. [...] "I was really touched, and indeed, honoured when Urs Thalmann told me they would like to name the lemur after me," Cleese told a Swiss newspaper. "I'm absurdly fond of the little creatures, and if I had to show any of my programmes to St Peter, upon my arrival at the Pearly Gates, I think I would show him my documentary made about them in Madagascar. [...] Urs Thalmann led the discovery of Cleese's woolly lemur in Madagascar The small woolly Avahi cleesei has been classified as endangered by the World Conservation Union. Thalmann also told the New Scientist magazine that long legs are not the only attribute lemurs share with Cleese. "Woolly lemurs can't really walk - but they do enjoy silly jumps," he said. The Science of Monty Python? This is not the first time that a Python has been honored by a scientific finding in their name. In 1985, two anthropologists, Meredith Smith and Michael Plane, discovered a fossil of a 15 million year-old python at a site near the Sleigh River in Queensland, Australia. They named the seemingly new genus of snake montypythonoides riversleighensis. The snake was later reclassified by Arnold Kluge in 1993 to be synonymous with morelia spilota, an Australian carpet python still in existence. In 1997, an asteroid was named after Monty Python. Asteroid 13681, officially named Monty Python, was discovered 7 August 1997 by Miloš Tichý and Zdenek Moravec at Klet Observatory near Ceské Budejovice, Czech Republic. The asteroid will make its next closest approach to Earth on 24 April 2006 (and will pass within nearly 1.87 Astronomical Units from Earth). A series of asteroids have also been named after the individual members of Monty Python. In 1992 and 1993, an effort called the Uppsala-ESO Survey of Asteroids and Comets was undertaken to find previously undetected comets in the vicinity of Jupiter. They found thousands. The six asteroids in question were discovered on 17 and 21 March 1993 by Swedish astronomers at the European Southern Observatory in Chile. The asteroids were each named after the Pythons, in alphabetical order: Grahamchapman - Asteroid 9617 (1993 FA5) - discovered 17 March 1993 Johncleese - Asteroid 9618 (1993 FQ8) - discovered 17 March 1993 Terrygilliam - Asteroid 9619 (1993 FS9) - discovered 17 March 1993 Ericidle - Asteroid 9620 (1993 FU13) - discovered 17 March 1993 Michaelpalin - Asteroid 9621 (1993 FT26) - discovered 21 March 1993 Terryjones - Asteroid 9622 (1993 FV26) - discovered 21 March 1993 [url]http://www.dailyllama.com/news/2005/llama300.html[/url] [/QUOTE] 222.)

I had a scrapbook going of news clippings of the case when I was a kid. Don't ask me why. Looking back on it, it was a pretty grisly thing to be interested in. The only other thing I remember pasting in those old notebooks (black and white hard-covered "Composition" notebooks---Remember them?) was Minnesota Vikings stories and pics, and pictures of motorcycles, LOL. It's kind of amazing that with Manson all tee'd up, California picks that moment to do away with the death penalty and the U.S. Supreme Court makes the state's successful referendum to reinstate a moot point. Not sure why there was a need to commute the sentence to life with the possibility of parole. Not aware of procedural or due process issues with the trial that would interfere with letting the original sentence stand for a future "super-duper court-approved" execution. The only reason for such a move that I can think of is some requirement for the possibility of parole. That seems inappropriate after a just, clean death penalty has been handed down, particularly in this case. Once Manson's death sentence was commuted, there was no way to reinstate it. I have to believe there's some legal eagle reason that has to be so, because that doesn't make a whole lot of sense on the face of it, either. Other than taking Manson's word for it that living was harder than dying-- that he preferred to die-- the legal system failed the families, law enforcement and the justice system in this case.

I read the Durham story first and saw their notice about phasing out comments sections, then didn't look when I read the Raleigh story. I'll put the uneven treatment down to incompetence and unwillingness to pay for staff rather than something as high-sounding as they describe.
I only have a surface idea of what Disqus is all about. I read that the comments sections were "shifting to Facebook." Why would one want to go to Facebook to comment when the story is right there on ... you know... the news site? They're complaining about moderating the news site, so they must be unable to moderate Facebook AND the news site? Seems like a FB comments section would be the stankier cessspool. Every FB-eligible comments section I can think of rolled quickly downhill after opening up to "FB." Maybe it's really Disqus I'm complaining about? A shame either way.

My understanding of the situation is that once Trump got information that the money from safari's doesn't end up in conservation and the meat doesn't end up feeding the village people, I believe he put a moratorium on the importation of elephant mounts. Correct me if I'm wrong. Michael Savage was talking about it on his radio program a few days ago. I believe Michael even helped influence the decision.

The issue of big game hunting in Africa is complicated. Some countries do it right in regard to "sensitive" species, and others are apparently not so angelic. I will try to find a few items to let you know where I'm coming from.

This is a problem with taking certain injured or orphaned animals like coons, foxes and coyotes to rehab centers. They will put them down automatically. We had a situation here where Animal Control essentially raided a home and killed a pet raccoon because someone ratted its owner out for posts on social media. 379.) Swamp Fox - 04/14/2018

It's photoshopped, LOL, but the raccoon was mooching food on its hind legs. How can you resist? 380.) bluecat - 04/14/2018
Can't they test those animals for rabies?
381.) Swamp Fox - 04/14/2018
I think the only test they trust is a brain test, which means killing the animal.
But they will kill a "vector species" animal that shows absolutely no signs as a matter of policy. If you take a baby raccoon, fox, skunk or coyote to a shelter here, you are signing its death warrant. I know groundhogs are a vector species in some areas, but we don't have a lot here. Possums get a pass, I think, because my understanding is they are pretty rabies-resistant. 382.) bluecat - 04/14/2018
I had no idea.
383.) Swamp Fox - 04/14/2018
I love it when Animal Control comes around and asks me ""Have you seen such and such animal?" and I go "Nope."
I don't feel bad about doing it, either, because they're worthless when something serious is going on as well. 384.) Swamp Fox - 04/14/2018

DP, did you see the new "Knife and Death" show? It came on after Forged in Fire. I watched for a little bit but thought it was kind of hokey. Seems they are trying to capitalize on one aspect of Forged in Fire which was the knife testing.

One of the things that I like most about [i]Forged in Fire[/i] is that they do a pretty good job of keeping that sort of goofy crap to a tolerable minimum. And even then, some of the goofiness is actually looked forward to (ie, "Eet weell keel"). 394.) bluecat - 04/18/2018
Glad I wasn't the only one. The commentators were overly dramatic as they critiqued each cut. Ridiculous.
395.) DParker - 04/18/2018
One of the other things that I've come to enjoy about watching [I]FiF[/I] is that, now that I've watched for quite a while I've learned just enough to be able to spot when a contestant is making...or is about to make...one of the common mistakes (like quenching in water, time management errors, etc). It adds to the immersive quality, and provides you with little "Oh no!" bits of tension...along with giving you an even greater appreciation for their skill when they manage to recover from something like that.

I agree. It seems like the power hammer is pretty fast but people tend to pulverize their knives with it. The maker that forges with the hand hammer is more likely to not suffer a catastrophic setback.

Deputies responded to a home near Moncks Corner after the mother of Gaskins' two children called 911, according to the Berkeley Observer. Gaskins, who showed up uninvited at the woman's home, threatened her with a shotgun. After the woman fled, Gaskins attempted to flood her home by clogging the drain and leaving the water running on full blast, according to the newspaper. He had a long criminal history dating back to 2004 in Berkeley County, including more than two dozen arrests on charges such as domestic violence, burglary and possession of cocaine. Gaskins lived in Bethera, an unincorporated community in Berkeley County. He had two sisters and four children, according to his cousin Cassandra Gaskins.

Miss America has decided to cut its swimsuit competition, adding that it will no longer judge contestants based on their physical appearance. "We are no longer a pageant," Gretchen Carlson, the chair of the Board of Trustees for the Miss America Organization, said Tuesday morning on Good Morning America. "We are a competition."
