Posted on 03/19/2013 5:39:42 AM PDT by Doogle
RENO, Nev. An official at the Hawthorne Army Depot says an explosion has occurred during a Marine Corps training exercise.
Russ Collier told KRNV-TV in Reno that the explosion Monday night was an accident unrelated to the ammunition that is stored at the military facility near the small desert community of Hawthorne.
There was no immediate information of any injuries. Calls to the depot and to U.S. Joint Munitions Command, which oversees the facility, were not immediately answered.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
...reporting several Marine casualties now.
"and disposes of ammunition"
Likely an EOD accident.
(Explosive Ordinance Disposal)
The conspiatorialist in me screams out: Someone was doing some "midnight Requisitions"!
No matter... It'll be interesting to see if this goes any further in the 'News Cycle'.
BREAKING: 6 US Marines are dead and 8 are injured after a Monday night live fire exercise at a US Army Depot in Hawthorne, Nevada.
Officials say a 60-mm. mortar exploded as the Marines were preparing to fire it. The depot is used as a storage facility for ammunition and other equipment. - NBC News
By now, setback fuse quality control should be 100%. Assuming this was a fuse defect for which there is no excuse.
6 US Marines are dead and 8 are injured after a Monday night live fire exercise at a US Army Depot in Hawthorne, Nevada.
Are live fire exercises common at this Depot? If not, my BS detector will be twitching on high.
As much as I can accept, intellectually, the danger inherent in training, my heart is breaking for these Marines and their surviving brothers and their families.
Semper Fidelis and may their memory be eternal.
Heads up.
FNC reporting 7 Marines dead. Sad.
This is awful news.
"Workplace violence" again?
Oh, my. Prayers up.
And brace yourself for some nauseating comments by the POTUS and FLOTUS... UGGGH
"Likely" based upon this info?
Anti-birther willing to believe whatever headlines ABCCBSCNNNBCFOX/AP puts out there for us?
So whats your theory?
May they rest with God. May their families find comfort.
"So whats your theory?"
Why must I have one?
The media including Fox lies with impunity and seems to enjoy quite the gullible following here these days.
Mortar fuzes can be tricky. I remember firing WWII vintage 81 mm rounds with VT fuzes at Schofield Barracks back in '77. They were fired with charge packs for max range and the fuzes were setting the rounds off in mid air just a few hundred meters from the firing pits. Had to shut down the range that day...
Nothing like old rounds to keep you on your toes or a misfire in the tube!
Do we have another wahhabi terrorist like Nidal Hassan? BTW what ever happened to that wahhabi terrorist?
There's testing and disposal activities at Hawthorne, Honey Lake and a disposal area south of Hawthorne, as I recall.
There's huge amounts of ammo stored at Hawthorne. If you fly over the area in a light plane, you'll see the high desert studded with hundreds (or even thousands) of the ammo bunkers, with their doors facing each other across an access road east and south of the town of Hawthorne. They don't fool around there - the trucks carrying the loads of ordnance have to detour around the town center of Hawthorne, and there are signs all over the streets to that effect, directing trucks carrying ordnance as to which way they have to navigate from the depot to north or south on US 95.
Nevada is filled with military activities which other states never see, know even less about and don't care. There's a reason why most Nevadans are opposed to nonsense like being used as a nuke waste dump - because Nevada is already used for these types of activities far in excess of what every other state is doing for national defense, and Hawthorne is one such example.
Especially southern Nevada:
Can't speak to the exact current operation but the place is a Naval Ammunition Depot. Some of Everything the Navy and Marine Corp uses is kept there. Last time I trained there, which was some decades ago, we shot everything we had. It's a big place with room for armor maneuvering, air ops, and all the rest. A tube ignition for a 60 mm mortar is so freeking unlikely that I have to suspect either sabotage or extreme clusterflockability. Does any one else remember that web video from a few years ago that showed an Arab guy shooting a small mortar-—3-rounds no problem but the fourth went off in his tube? I always suspected we were salting the earth. Semper Fi.
We've been doing this to the enemy for a long time. I wonder if they've infiltrated our defense contractors and are meting out revenge.
Of course, the Idiot in Chief can't honor them appropriately. Just had a few throw-away lines today during a St Patrick's event... 6 shot at a Sikh temple got flags at half-staff. 7 dead Marines get nothing, not even a formal statement.
Who the heck talks like this? "Clearly?"
....don't think so...more like an accidental situation sadly.
It's surprising it doesn't happen more often with the amount of activity and handling we've had within the last 20 years or so. We may never know for sure what happened.....handling munitions in itself has it's consequences if things aren't followed correctly.....what becomes almost routine, can become fatal. We'll have to wait and see what is released....
Idiots who have no respect for the military and understand just how corrupt the Obama WH is. Clearly
Who the heck talks like this? "Clearly?"
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Well, that is so 'US' Conspiracy Freaks don't go running off half cocked and blame the Muzzies, like we did at that 'workplace' violence incident at Ft Hood TX..
If the /sarc/ tag is necessary etc etc
BTW did the Navy 'sell' the Depot to the Army?
I know/knew of the place as
USNAD Hawthorne NV—
US Naval Ammunition Depot, Hawthorne, Nevada.
a sad day... Semper Fi
Yep, I never met a tool and die man with two fully intact hands. I pray for them and hope that this is just isolated, but I live by the Moscow Rules and will keep my eyes open.
You should meet my father, he's a 72 year old tool and die master craftsman. Has all his fingers and works 12 hours a day every day.
Perhaps. I meant it reminded me of Obama's verbal tics when he is faking caring about something, or lying, he says things like this "clearly" or "obviously," when I hear that, I assume he doesn't believe what he is saying, or thinks we won't believe him.
Thanks for the ping Reblebase !
Hope yer well....

Skip to comments.Jane Fonda's New Regret: 'Sitting On That Gun in North Vietnam'
Posted on 11/19/2012 9:15:34 AM PST by ColdOne
Well, give the actress credit. This is a step up from what we learned in Patricia Bosworth's Biography, "Jane Fonda," where the star reportedly said: "My biggest regret is I never got to f*** Che Guevara."
Personally, I don't think Fonda regrets sitting on that anti-aircraft gun. I think she regrets being caught sitting on that anti-aircraft gun. Nothing in Fonda's statements or subsequent actions has ever shown me that she understands just how evil that act was.
And why she hasn't been tried and deported for treason is beyond me.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Auditioning for Secretary of Defense in Obama Administration?
Is Hanoi Jane's image still at the bottom of the urinals in VFW locations?
Commie traitor bitch ...
Yes. Proud to say I used one recently.
Good riddance to this shameful woman.
That cold-hearted Communist bitch loved every minute of it.
Wherever she is buried eventually, should require a massive sod replacement deposit, as people will be pissing on her resting place for years to come.
Looks like the NVA guy right behind her thinks about the same thing, and wishes she would get her vapid butt off the premises and away from his battery.
Probably regrets not firing it.
What a piece of human offal.
A lot of VFW guys say,"My biggest regret is I never got to shoot Jane Fonda."
I think she may underestimate the level of burning,seething hatred that many of the guys harbor for her after all these years.
That's great!!
A lot of VFW guys say,My biggest regret is I never got to shoot Jane Fonda.
I think she may underestimate the level of burning,seething hatred that many of the guys harbor for her after all these years.
No doubt she does underestimate it. That resentment justifiably rings the bell and is nigh immeasurable. The amazing thing to me is that even in this debauched nation she was allowed back in, and has never faced trial for treason. I guess it is all because there was no formal declaration of war between the US and North Vietnam.
I regret she didn't stand in front of it.
not fonda jane, same thing different day.
Next thing you know Bill Ayers will be expressing regrets about planting bombs at the Pentagon.
I'm not fonda Jane. Never will be.
Maybe the Tea Party or the VN Vets should hold a mock treason trial for Ms Fonda? She deserves all the notoriety she would get from such a trial!
I have TWO regrets mizzzzz traitor... that your father Henry died and that you did not.
My regret is that we didn't carpet bomb the region while she was carrying out her traitorous act. She and that other Ho, Chi Minh, were both enemies of this country.
What a piece of dog shit she was...
Fonda was a dishonest treacherous weasel; a liar, a traitor, and a skank.
Ho, Chi Minh,
Are you sure? I was in Ho Chi Minh recently and it was in the SOUTH...why would the South name the city after him if he was so bad?
I think that this old whore's head probably chucks up a new life regret every 15 minutes, when she isn't busy cashing in on those same actions.
This is what happens when an attractive woman with an IQ of 70 is given everything that she asks for in life.
Yup. One of my favorite Cold War stories is about a low level defector who went AWOL in Berlin and defected to the Soviets. He was a junior NCO and didn't have much to bring to the table other than disgruntlement and disloyalty.
To his surprise he learned that in the Workers' Paradise everyone had to have a job. He hadn't gotten away from that.
He was asked about his likes and dislikes. He disliked animals and above all hated snakes.
The Soviets put him in a job feeding snakes at some small time zoo in western Siberia.
I think that anecdote came from "Inside the Aquarium". It has been a long time though and I am not sure.
Tell her to line up every living Vietnam Vet and let each one give her a right hook to the nose and I'll call it even. If she lets my father take two swipes, I'll buy her a drink afterwards.
"Ho, Chi Minh,
Are you sure? I was in Ho Chi Minh recently and it was in the SOUTH...why would the South name the city after him if he was so bad?"
Are you being sarcastic or real? There is no "South" anymore. The North invaded the South when we pulled out and now the whole country is communist. Citizens of Saigon had no choice in naming the city.
I remember some joke from the past to the effect that after the photo the VC used a lot of bleach and steel wool on the barrel.
It was funny then and now.
You're serious?
Yep. That would show remorse. Regret is an altogether weaker and more ambiguous thing than remorse.
LOL. Russkies apparently held him in the same contempt as us ...
going back a bit farther, the Redcoats never trusted Benedict Arnold; they never put him in any sort of position of real responsibility.
"I was in Ho Chi Minh recently and it was in the SOUTH...why would the South name the city after him if he was so bad?"
For the same reason that pennies in Dixie have Lincoln on them. For the same reason that a three dollar bill in the near future will have Obama on it.
"...why she hasn't been tried and deported for treason..."
There was nowhere to deport her TO.
However, exile may have been an option. Set her aboard a boat and refuse to permit her to re-enter the country.
But then, we cannot seem to control our borders now, so even the exile would be a chancy thing.
If I had been alone fighting Communists in South Vietnam, I could forgive her.
But I wasn't.
Too many others on that Wall, and the hundreds of thousands of innocents who lost there lives...the boat people who were lost or killed by pirates at sea, not to mention our POWs who were being held and often tortured just a few short blocks away from that gun emplacement have left me with with such enmity for that...woman that I have yet passed on to succeeding generations, and will continue for as long as I live.
The only not ever though redeeming path for her is suicide, with her remains eaten by dogs in the way of Jezebel.
"The only not ever though redeeming path for her is suicide, with her remains eaten by dogs in the way of Jezebel."
That is pretty ruthless and cruel.
Poor dogs.
The film clips were even worse. She was positively orgasmic.
Think about this.
Obama wants to make her treasonous pal John F'in Kerry Secretary of Defense.
That scares the crap out of me.
Well geez louise Jane, there's a lot of these half baked crap weasels running around South America. Go down there and f*** 'em all!
She may have missed Che but more than made up for it.
I hope she finally gets rectal cancer from her little sojourn on that AAA gun! Her only contribution to society was her opening sequence in "Barbarella" where she gave a free shot to the camera.
"...cause when I came down with a social disease a few months later my boyfriend told me I must have gotten it off that gun"
That's funny. That is what I would expect to hear from young (or old these days) misinformed people.
I wish she had been sitting on a bouncing betty instead.
"Nobody likes a traitor."
Nope. I think that has gradually dawned on her. Just the fact, not the reasons why. She hasn't reached her yet or she would feel guilt and perhaps remorse instead of mere regret.
Please, be respectful. Don't insult dog s... like that.
How many people are ACTUALLY DEAD thanks to this idiot woman's actions?
She was on the wrong side OF EVERY ISSUE all her life, and people paid the price in lost lives, lost business, etc...
Remember "china syndrome" - no more nuclear power plants in the USA since that stoopid-ass movie
AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON FAT WOMEN IN SPANDEX following her 'exercize' videos...
Who cares what that traitor says. If she was ever ashamed of her behavior and needed forgiveness she would have quietly donated every single penny she ever made to veteran's organizations. She is nasty inside and out.
> I was in Ho Chi Minh recently and it was in the SOUTH...why would the South name the city after him if he was so bad?
The South didn't pick the name. That was done by the North. The people there still refer to the city as Saigon. It's only on official stuff (mail, etc.) that Ho Chi Minh is used.

i never meant to imply otherwise. i was just stating that in the matcha preparation i have seen in japan and things from the internet, i recall only once seeing (on youtube) a japanese monk whisking for close to that amount of time. it had a bit of the large paper & brush caligraphy feel to it - which i quite enjoyed watching.
as it seems a 20 second or so whisking is sufficient, my thought is what it feels like, meditatively, to whisk so long.
- when i wrote excessive in my last post, i meant for a casual matcha drinker. this gentleman, as you state, is steeped in tradition, pun intended.

Florida officials have scrapped plans to enforce a new state law that requires foreign visitors to bring along an international driving permit if they plan to rent a car or drive their own vehicle in the Sunshine State.
But the confusion and outcry surrounding the decision put a spotlight on the question of when or whether U.S. drivers need the document when they put pedal to the metal overseas.
Valid in more than 150 countries, the permit functions as an official translation of your home driver's license in 10 languages, though you'll still have to carry your original license, as well.
"The fact of the matter is that you probably will never be asked to show (the permit) when picking up a rental car in Europe," notes Bob Bestor, editor of the travel newsletter Gemut.com. But, he adds, rental companies in Austria and Poland do require it, and visiting drivers in other most other countries are legally obligated to carry one: "If you come in contact with the police and can't show (a driver's permit), you may be fined. We know drivers who have been." (According to the National Automobile Association, it's also needed if you plan to travel more than 50 miles into Canada or 300 miles into Mexico.)
To get a permit, which costs $15 plus shipping and handling and is good for one year, apply to either the National Automobile Association or the American Automobile Association. You'll need a U.S. driver's license valid for at least six months plus two passport photos.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

It was a grand day for humankind when the first Faraday cage came to life; these cages have given rise to all sorts of technological innovations. How much do you know about these wiry wonders?
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
In what year did Michael Faraday build the first Faraday cage?
It was in 1836, nearly 100 years after the first experiments demonstrating the properties that make Faraday cages work.
Question 2 of 20
Who first explored (in detail and with multiple experiments) the physics principles at work in Faraday cages?
Thomas Jefferson
Ben Franklin
This was well after his first kite-flying adventures. Ben Franklin delved deeper and deeper into the mysteries of electricity, including the phenomena involved in Faraday cages.
George Washington
Question 3 of 20
Under what conditions do Faraday cages work best?
when they are grounded
Earth is good for a lot of things, and absorbing electrical charges is one of them. Grounded cages are generally more effective than non-grounded versions.
when they are made of graphite
when they have very large holes
Question 4 of 20
To work effectively, the holes in the mesh or screen of a Faraday cage must be smaller than what?
the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation you're trying to block
the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation you're trying to block
Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths really do come in many different sizes, from as big as buildings to extremely tiny. Holes must be smaller than the wavelength you want to block.
the size of your fingers
Question 5 of 20
In military applications, Faraday cages are employed to protect against what?
nuclear radiation
electrostatic radiation
electromagnetic pulses
Are you down with EMPs? Electronics aren't; they just go down when electromagnetic pulses strike, which is why militaries use Faraday cages to protect against them.
Question 6 of 20
Why must hospitals shield their MRI machine rooms with Faraday cages?
The cages keep metal objects in the room from becoming magnetized.
The cages prevent stray electromagnetic signals from affecting test results.
We're sorry to say that the results of your test mean you're rocking with the classics on 104.1 FM. Without the cages, stray signals can create strange artifacts in MRI scan results.
The cages shield patients from harm.
Question 7 of 20
What's one ubiquitous product that incorporates the principles of Faraday cages?
coaxial cable
Why is my favorite game show all fuzzy? Maybe the cat chewed your TV's coax cable, which is shielded to prevent interference that causes poor picture quality.
headphone wires
high-voltage wires
Question 8 of 20
An electromagnetic pulse could destroy electronics-based communications systems. What might cause a huge EMP?
a lunar explosion
a nuclear detonation
Bombs away! A huge, high-altitude nuclear blast could cause an EMP that would devastate a country's communications systems if they didn't have Faraday cage protection.
a giant laser
Question 9 of 20
Why are high-altitude EMPs most likely to destroy an entire country's communications systems?
They are more powerful.
High blasts affect a greater geographic area.
Get out your maps; you're going to need them. Higher blasts affect a larger area and thus, knock out a lot more systems.
The EMPs also destroy space-based communications satellites.
Question 10 of 20
In addition to telecommunications systems, powerful EMPs can also disrupt what?
the electrical grid
It's a nightmare scenario. A huge EMP could kill the electrical grid, and thus, totally cripple food and water supplies.
car engines
social networking
Question 11 of 20
Why do shoplifters like Faraday cages?
They line bags with metal foil to steal items.
Please don't try this one at home. Lining shopping bags with foil can fool scanners that detect unpurchased items with RFID tags.
The parts to make their own cages are easy to steal.
Sitting in one reminds them of a nice jail cell.
Question 12 of 20
Before creating the first Faraday cage, Michael Faraday discovered what?
electromagnetic induction
It's one of the principles that makes the cages work. Electromagnetic induction is a powerful tool for physicists.
Question 13 of 20
In addition to blocking static electric fields, what else do Faraday cages shield their interiors from?
electromagnetic radiation
It could be radio waves, microwaves or other common waves. The cages block many types of electromagnetic radiation.
visible light
nuclear radiation
Question 14 of 20
In a famous experiment, Faraday confirmed principles of electricity proposed by Ben Franklin using what?
an ice pick
an ice pail
He made great margaritas after the experiment was over. A metal ice pail served as a rudimentary Faraday cage.
an icicle
Question 15 of 20
This everyday device uses the principles of a Faraday cage, but in reverse.
a car
a microwave oven
It basically turns the cage concept inside out. Microwaves trap electromagnetic waves within their cooking chambers to cook food -- and to keep bystanders safe.
a shortwave radio
Question 16 of 20
What other name do Faraday cages often go by?
Faraday device
Faraday shield
Raise the shields! In some ways, the term Faraday shield is a better descriptor for what the cages do.
Faraday induction blocker
Question 17 of 20
Your car is a Faraday cage. How can you ensure your survival if lightning strikes your vehicle?
start the car
avoid touching anything metal
Keep your hands in your lap. Don't touch anything metal inside the car. And maybe pray a little.
roll down the windows
Question 18 of 20
What factor can reduce your car's ability to act as a Faraday cage in the event of a lightning strike?
a convertible top
Hopefully, you were smart enough to close the top before the storm started, but it may not save you. A non-metal top reduces the cage's effectiveness.
whitewall tires
huge chrome wheels
Question 19 of 20
In a thunderstorm, what other vehicle can protect you with a Faraday cage?
a riding lawnmower
a golf cart
The canopy is key. If it has a sturdy metal canopy, you'll likely be protected. Just don't touch anything metal.
a bulldozer
Question 20 of 20
Boats rely on the principles of Faraday cages to protect passengers. What are these protection systems called?
floating Faraday cages
lightning protection systems
Lightning is a major threat on the water. But a professionally installed lightning protection system can keep those on board alive.
electricity protection systems

This Just In ...
Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
If not Franklin, where then for the Fischer family?
Republicans and Democrats are more divided along ideological lines – and partisan acrimony is deeper and more extensive – than at any point in recent history.
That's the central theme/finding of a massive political survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. Results were announced last week.
Democrats are taking more consistently liberal positions than they have in the past. Republicans are taking more consistently conservative positions.
The percentage of Democrats taking mostly or consistently liberal positions has grown from 30 percent in Pew's 1994 study to 56 percent today; the number of Republicans taking mostly or consistently conservative positions has spiked from 31 percent in the 2004 study to 53 percent today.
More findings:
"Ideological silos" are now common on the right and, to a lesser extent, the left. About six-in-ten (63%) consistent conservatives and 49% of consistent liberals say most of their close friends share their political views, compared with just 35% among the public as a whole.
Differences between the right and left go beyond politics. Three-quarters of consistent conservatives say they would opt to live in a community where "the houses are larger and farther apart, but schools, stores and restaurants are several miles away," while 77% of consistent liberals prefer smaller houses closer to amenities. Nearly four times as many liberals as conservatives say it is important that their community has racial and ethnic diversity; about three times as many conservatives as liberals say it is important that many in the community share their religious faith.
And how about this:
Fully half of consistent conservatives, and 35% of consistent liberals, say it's important to live in a place where most people share their political views. And some researchers have, in fact, found evidence that:
Such preferences factor into where Americans decide to move.
In short, like-minded people like to live around other like-minded folks.
This reminds me of the time several years ago here in Franklin when former alderman Steve Taylor lashed out at local bloggers (that would include me) who kept writing about Franklin's high taxes. Yours truly often called Franklin, and still does, a "Tax Hell."
Taylor reacted by saying that if these bloggers didn't like it here, then they should, and I quote,
"get the hell out," demonstrating that he, too, could use the word 'hell' in a political argument.
Not the best response.
Instead of immediately shutting the door to any possible dialogue or debate on the matter, and heaven forbid admitting that a member(s) of the citizenry might be right and the issue demanded further review, critics were unceremoniously dismissed and urged to pack their bags.
However, the Pew Research survey results and Steve Taylor's "get on your horse and ride" comments made me wonder. If not glorious, beautiful, nearly perfect, Camelot-like Franklin, where would the Fischer clan call home?
How could I possibly know where to choose?
You'd never guess who would supply the answer. Clarity Campaign Labs, that's who. Clarity Campaign Labs says the following on its website:
"We provide advanced modeling and analytic services to Democratic party and coordinated campaigns, candidates, charitable groups, and other progressive organizations and corporations."
They have, according to the Washington Post, provided a short list of simple questions that will tell you which zip code is best for you to live, based on your political ideologies, in all 50 states.
I took the questionnaire, and the results told me that as far as Wisconsin was concerned, I'd be better off living somewhere else. Leave God's country?
Under the current leadership in Madison, we have put more than $800 million back into the hands of taxpayers through property and income tax cuts and withholding changes. We have reduced property taxes by over $406 million, reduced income taxes by nearly $100 million, and reduced withholding tax for state income taxes by $322.6 million.
But more work needs to be done because not everyone in Wisconsin got the memo. That would include Franklin, primarily the incredibly out-of-touch school administration and school board.
Here and elsewhere, there are still:
1) Tax hellions who don't give a damn.
2) Too many voters who continue to put tax hellions into office.
3) Elected officials who promise not to be tax hellions but become tax hellions once they get into office.
So, where do the Fischers go?
Pleasant Prairie?
Here's where the questionnaire designed by Democrats told me, ahem, where to go.
It's a village.
About an hour or so from Milwaukee.
There's a Dutch historical influence, so there are miniature windmills and tulips.
Active churches, well-kept homes, neat yards, clean streets.
The village promotes a "family friendly" atmosphere, without burdensome taxes or excessive government intervention.
Population: Less than 3,000.
The place is…
The questionnaire is in this Washington Post blog.
No offense. I've lived in Milwaukee or Franklin which is very close to Milwaukee all my life. So if the Dems who are wrong more often than not are telling me to move to Oostburg. I'm stayin' put.
But if I ever do pass through Oostburg again, save me a seat!

The Reason Bass Line Battle was a wonderful chance to flex your drum and bass production skills. Just 8 bars of rocking drums, funky bass, and swanky percussion using Reason's Factory and Orkester Sound Banks and the Reason Electric Bass refill (or Electric Bass Demo refill, given away for free as part of the contest). And, you weren't limited to just entering one bass groove, you could enter up to three!
This all sounded like too much fun and I couldn't help myself, I entered two bass grooves. My entries are titled "Fat Spaghetti Funk!" and "Jungle Biscuit Bounce!", under the username, "muzicali". CLICK HERE to vote for me, this link will take you to a page where my submissions are right at the top. (Voting ends Dec. 5th, 2008.) There are about 338 entries, many of which are absolutely amazing. It just goes to show you how much talent is out there! Truly inspiring. (All of the bass line entries are auditioned as streaming audio, so you don't need Reason to hear the entries on the Propellerhead's Web site, you only need to log into the Web site.)
Besides having fun writing these grooves, I figured it would be useful to have these song files as production tutorials. Not only do they stress the importance of having a solid drum and bass foundation for your songs, they're a good demonstration of how to mix drums in Reason (heck, how to mix drums period), and show off how great the Electric Bass refill can sound when used creatively and with purpose.
"Jungle Biscuit Bounce!" is a straight up groove, meant to demonstrate how tight a drummer and bass player can sound when they're both sitting in the "pocket". While "Fat Spaghetti Funk!" is a more flamboyant performance, meant to show how great a drummer and bass player who are communicating and really playing off of each other can sound.
That said, here's a Zip containing both of my Reason song files and the Electric Bass Demo refill which I used to produce the grooves. After you've unpacked the Zip, simply move the Electric Bass Demo refill next to your other factory refills and the song's NN-XT devices will find their samples fine. Have fun exploring these Reason racks and don't forget to vote for me!

The idea I have is that, on being triggered, each hard drive would start reading/clicking and then die out (doing less and less). This could be triggered over and over.
I also don't know what type/era of hard drive would be best for this type of work
It's called a VCM (voice coil module - don't ask me why)
Have you got a schematic of the hardware side of what you're working on?
Now I just have to find a sufficiently old/loud harddrive to make this worthwhile (modern ones are so quiet).

I have a 13 yr. old daughter and my son's 18 yr. old girlfriend with me in Paris....hmmmm I KNOW I need to take them somewhere cool to shop. This was it! Everybody had a great time, found cool things no one back home will ever have, and shopped like a french girl!! Had a great translator with us who showed us around. I loved walking and seeing all the small local shops away from the common and EXPENSIVE tourist avenues. She listened to what we wanted to find and took us to the them. I personally love vintage and she took me to a beautiful, high quality shop that had Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada etc. one of a kind items. Tons of great clothes and accessories to look for that piece that speaks to you. Very good prices. I scored a vintage Chanel necklace that I will cherish. A unique way to spend a few hours in Paris plus we got a great tip where to find the best crepes for lunch after!! Had a blast and bonded with the girlfriend and scored big with the fussy 13 year old daughter!!

MOSCOW (AP) — Finance ministers and central bankers from the world's 20 leading industrial and developing countries pledged not to weaken their currencies to gain an advantage in trade in an attempt to calm growing fears that governments are using foreign exchange as an economic weapon.
The two-day meeting in Moscow ended Saturday with a joint communique that included a promise that the G20 members would "refrain from competitive devaluation" and "resist all forms of protectionism and keep our markets open."
There has been widespread unease among investors and politicians over recent developments affecting the Japanese yen, which now trades near a three-year low. Japan is facing charges that it is trying first and foremost to lower the value of the yen to stimulate its economy and get the edge over other countries.
If too many countries try to weaken their currencies for economic gain — sparking a so-called "currency war" — the fragile global recovery could be derailed.
"We reiterate that excess volatility of financial flows and disorderly movements in exchange rates have adverse implications for economic and financial stability," the statement added, without singling out Japan for criticism.
Speaking at a news conference following the communique's signing, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that all the G20 nations agreed that they need to focus on delivering a strong economic growth rather than "manipulating the markets."
IMF's chief Christine Lagarde Saturday dismissed concerns of a looming currency war, saying that they witness "currency worries, not currency wars."
A U.S. senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not allowed to comment publicly said that the group discussed the importance of avoiding loose talk concerning exchange rates — although this point did not make it into the communique.
The G20 communique carries the same message as a statement earlier this week from the Group of 7 leading economies — France, the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada. In it the group warned that "excessive volatility and disorderly movements in exchange rates can have adverse implications for economic and financial stability."
Several developing economies have recently criticized the U.S. program of quantitative easing for pushing up the value of their currencies. By buying up bonds, the U.S. Federal Reserve has also increased the amount of money in circulation. This has had the side-effect of driving down the value of that currency relative to others.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke defended the policy in a speech at a meeting of G20 financial chiefs with President Vladimir Putin on Friday.
"Consistent with the Group of 7 statement, the United States is using domestic policy tools to advance domestic objectives and we believe that by strengthening the U.S. economy, we're helping to strengthen the global economy as well," he said.
Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at the Martin Smith School of Business at California State University, said it should come as no surprise that no country was singled out for criticism for movements in its currency.
"Many countries including China, Japan and the United States all have issues related to exchange rates," he said. "People in glass houses should not throw stones."
The Moscow meeting also ended with a pledge to crack down on tax avoidance by multinational companies. Google, Amazon and Starbucks have recently come under criticism from countries including France, the U.K. and Germany for shifting profits generated in one country to another to pay less tax.
In their communique, the G20 finance ministers said they were determined to take "necessary collective actions" to stop the practice.
The G20 ministers also decided to defer setting any new debt-cutting targets for its members. G20 members at a 2010 summit in Toronto committed to halve budget deficits by this year and it is now looking likely that some countries will fail on that commitment.
The U.S. senior administration official said Saturday that G20 members decided not to sign up to any new tangible goals or targets in Saturday's communique as they were anxious to depart from a "one-size-fits-all" approach.

Skip to comments.Navy moves ship off coast of Korean Peninsula, White House looks to 'reassure' allies
Posted on 04/01/2013 2:10:57 PM PDT by Ron C.
The U.S. military has moved a Navy ship capable of intercepting missiles to waters off the coast of the Korean Peninsula, as threats from North Korea's Kim Jong Un escalate and the White House signals it wants to head off any potential conflict by flexing America's military might.
A U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News that the Navy had moved the U.S. destroyer to a location near South Korea. The ship, the USS Fitzgerald, is equipped with the Aegis defense system and is capable of shooting down missiles.
The defense official said the decision is not part of the ongoing joint military exercise with South Korea but part of the Navy's general movements. The Navy had the same type of ship in this location as recently as December.
Read more
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
"The threats are seen as part of an effort to provoke the new government in Seoul to change its policies toward Pyongyang and to win diplomatic talks with Washington in order to gain more aid."
I think we're the regime's biggest enablers. They play us like an aggressive panhandler working a busy intersection.
I believe the name of the ship in the Fox story is the USS McCain (not the USS Fitzgerald)?
The Norks simply run the biggest con-game on earth.
Right you are. Both the USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) and the
USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) are Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, both stationed in Japan. Probably they used the DDG-56 pic because they didn't have a close up of DDB-62.
With anyone other than barry he'd likely get his fool head blown off.
Got pics of the USS Cushing when she was at Yokosuka.
It's Pyonpang's version of Oil for Food.
So if NK attacks anyone but SK, we can stop it?
I am sure this makes the South Koreans feel better
Maybe if we send Rodman AND Madonna next time....??
Thanks. I read a little further in the second paragraph where it says " Officials initially misidentified the ship but later clarified the USS McCain had been dispatched."
So I guess it was the USS McCain that was dispatched, although it doesn't really matter.
Prime time for a Nork sub attack.
Reminds me of the time I was in those waters and it was cold. I was aboard the USS Enterprise and that was during the Pueblo incident. I worked the flight deck and when the carrier would turn into the wind to launch the planes one would down right freeze to death. We would huddle around the exhaust of the APU units to warm back up.
so does China.
The only way to "reassure" anyone is for nobama to resign immediately.
Any day now I expect to start seeing reports of Muslim Brotherhood "freedom fighters" closing in on little Kim's palace.
This could get nasty real fast—one mistake and people will die. I think the North will back down—but what if this is really China's game and they want to cook Japan so as to steal these islands and grab Taiwan to boot. A quick war—say 7 days and all of Asia is in their pocket.
I think China realizes that war would kill their trade with the US, leaving several hundred million workers with no one to sell to.
China & Chinese workers LIKE having US dollars or at least US IOUs to spend.
This is not to say that there are not many Chinese generals & admirals who would love to see a (how do you say, "Blitzkrieg" in Mandarin?) war?
The USS Edmund Fitzgerald? That could be a bad omen.
What does China need to go to war for? All they need to do is tell the Brown Clown they're taking those islands and he'd be fine with it.
I spoke to someone from Australia. He said all the Pacific countries have been talked to by China in the last few years. They have been told to either work with China against the U.S. or there will be severe consequences in the future.
I have spoken to people from the Middle East and Northern Africa. They have been told to oppose Christians and the U.S. Persecution of Christians and anti-American sentiment is at an all time high.
If there is a war—China will not be directly involved—It will be short and be resolved in the UN—Obama will get a new Peace Prize—Hillary will be at the Peace Table—everyone will forget Benghazi and the junk will still be coming in from China! They win! Think more like the 6 day war than WW II.
An observation: IMO the N. Koreans are about to nuke their own people to assist in making what food there is go further and last longer. They will use the rest of the planet and the "war" of their own making to do this.
Will not be the first time the leadership of a nation has lied to its people.
That's actually my perception of what will happen. China wants and needs oil. There are many oil rich islands such as the Spratly islands. Control over these islands has been contested for decades and now China may be ready to make a move. We are the only ones standing in the way.
If NK pulls off a surprise attack, the South is fairly screwed even if we shot down every single missile aimed at them. We can't shoot down artillery shells, and the Kims have enough artillery stashed under mountain bunkers within range of Seoul to pretty much level the place. Ships can't do much when the enemy is dug in like a 20 minute drive from your capital.
Jeez, everybody knows it!
I think a lot of NK capability is overrated. In my scenario they may even invade as far as the Han River but that will be tough for them to hold in the longer run.
The Pentagon cannot even make payroll. Over 750,000 civilians, who are maintainers, nurses, trainers, and every other function will be furloughed for no less than 14 days this year, resulting in a 15% loss in pay.
'Fiddling While the Pentagon Burns'
But as yesterdays press conference with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey made clear, its essentially a Band-Aid for what amounts to a bleeding artery. The Pentagon must still cut $41 billion this year from its budget; it remains over $20 billion short on readiness and operational funds; it is facing a shortfall of some $7 billion in monies needed for the drawdown in Afghanistan; and it has already used up 80% of its operating funds for the year with six months still to go. In his usual, can-do way, General Dempsey said the military can still make all this work as long as the military could shed excess equipment, dump excess facilities, get acquisition reforms in place, reduce redundancy, and overhaul the militarys compensation structure. Well, good luck on all those fronts. More likely, as we say, when pigs fly. In the meantime, training is being radically reduced, maintenance across the services is being postponed, exercises are being cancelled, and the prospect of even deeper cuts to force structure and modernization plans await if the Budget Control Acts sequester requirements are not rolled back by this fall.
This madness has to stop.
The Republicans should never, ever have agreed to rape Defense so that it had to "pay" 50% of the Sequestration cuts, while Entitlements (the biggest driver of debt and deficit) are exempt. This is an obscenity.
We are emboldening our enemies throughout the world with this budget fiasco. Our politicians of both parties REFUSE to acknowledge that Federal spending on health care costs (Medicare, Medicaid, ObamaCare) and other Entitlements are on the verge of consuming almost all spending in this country.
We have STOP THIS MADNESS NOW.
Our military has been sacrificed on the political altar for too long. It has been slashed by $487 Billion beginning in 2011, and then another $650 Billion by Sequestration.
Our commie loving Pres and majority of Senate have effectively made this country unable to defend itself - and betrayed the American people.

We just showed you their fall 2012 lookbook, and now we're showing you how Imogene + Willie looks in action! During their rainy, secret acoustic performance at the Lomography gallery store in the West Village Wednesday night, Portugal. The Man set up and played an amazingly crisp-sounding, intimate show for about fifty of their biggest fans. And, they were all decked out in denim, some from head to toe!
After the set, we spoke with bassist and back-up vocalist, Zach Carothers, who let us in on a dark secret of his: up until about a year ago, he would wear polyester for any and all occasions. Zach realized he wanted to make a change from the notoriously unbreathable fabric to his now-favorite material, denim, when he (and the rest of the band) discovered Imogene + Willie. In fact, Zach said every member of Portugal. The Man was wearing a pair of Imogene + Willie jeans that night. Talk about an endorsement!
Zach was also sporting a Penfield denim button-up chambray top with plaid detailing. Major points for the double denim, dude! Check out our photos below.
