Re: Shifting on immigration
posted at 7:07 pm on November 13, 2012 by Jazz Shaw
Earlier today, Ed published a
widely acclaimed, err.. positively debated, um… frequently commented upon post titled, Time to cut a deal on immigration As one might imagine, this elicited some rather passionate responses on both sides. (Okay… mostly on one side.) But he's bringing up something important where a distinction needs to be drawn between what is immediately possible and what the future holds. It's an important definition to establish in the discussion. First, let's look at what Ed was actually talking about.
Frankly, I'm more concerned about the border issue than winning Hispanic voters at this point. We've been fortunate so far that we haven't had more infiltration than we've seen across either border, but that good fortune won't last forever. We need to address both that and the visa system that doesn't produce any follow-up on violators. We have waited since 2007 to win back control of Washington to win a solution on our terms rather than a compromise that would both pass more quickly and spread the political risk.
Now that we've lost the presidential election, we won't have that opportunity for another four years. We still have the House, though, and that gives us leverage to insist on prioritizing border security and visa reform ahead of normalization for those illegal aliens in the US. In two years, on the current trajectory, we may not even have that much, and there is no guarantee that a Republican will win the presidency in 2016, either.
This is the short term, "take what you can get" approach which may turn out to be the best damage control achievable. If the nation is in the mood for some hot and heavy bipartisan horse trading, the door may well be open to precisely what Ed proposes. An intelligent approach to border security could arrive along with a fresh look at the dreaded "path to citizenship" which so many find offensive. But if the second point I want to touch on tonight is valid, it may be well to remember the old adage about half a loaf being better than none.
In the long run, while Ed pretty much dismissed the question of whether or not the GOP should – or even can – win a significantly larger portion of the Latino vote, it's a serious question for the future. And I'm not talking about the distant future. I'm referring to 2016 and who knows how long after that. Is changing the GOP platform on immigration likely to yield a bountiful harvest of votes?
My gut reaction is not only no, but heck no. Had the GOP pushed forward some candidates and party leaders in the Spring and Summer of this year with a modified, balanced message on this subject it might have made significant inroads. But when you come crawling away from an electoral beat down and suddenly say, "Oh, I guess we should start supporting immigration reform since we got our butts kicked" I don't think you're going to win over many Latino voters. In fact, I'd expect they would rightly see it as patronizing and phony. That's not moving any votes, nor should it.
But then what to do? I think you have to ask yourself the following question. Do you accept that the GOP really is the "party of white people" and that racial divisions in the nation's political DNA are not only real, but so permanent that minorities will forever vote for Democrats in titanic proportions? Because if you do believe that, then demographic trends should tell you that it's time to pack up the Republican Party in its old kit bag and send it out into the sunset. President Obama didn't even take 40% of the white vote last week and he still won. That party is over… pun intended.
But what to do about the fact that minority voters DO in fact currently vote for Democrats in massive proportions? The reality is that just putting up a few candidates or high profile, well paid pundits of color to represent the popularity of Republicans isn't going to move the needle in any substantive way. You don't need more minorities being elected or hired as "Conservative entertainment industry" stars. You need more real people who go out and vote and who speak for conservative principles in their community. Electing another Allen West or Ted Cruz isn't going to change the flow of that tide one bit.
How does that get fixed? Come up with that answer and you'll probably be famous overnight.

'RFID Girl' to Be Back at Jay HS on Monday
Andrea Hernandez, the 'RFID Girl,' whose lawsuit agaisnt the Northside ISD last winter over its controversial RFID Student Locator system gained national attention, will be back in her desk at the Science and Engineering Academy at Jay High School when school starts on Monday, 1200 WOAI news reports.
A federal lawsuit which was filed by Hernandez, claiming the RFID program was an illegal invasion of privacy lost in the courts. But Northside has discontinued the program and Hernandez has dropped her lawsuit, so she will return to Jay from Taft High School. She had been expelled from the magnet program and returned to her home school last January for refusing to wear the RFID chip.
"There are very few happy endings for those who stand up to the government and say 'no more'," said John Whitehead, president of the Libertarian Rutherford Institute, which helped represent Hernandez in court.
"Hopefully, Andrea Hernandez will prove to be the exception and will use this opportunity to continue her strong stand for freedom."

Arsenal's magnificent victory over Manchester City was well-timed in more ways than one.
The Club used the game as an opportunity to promote this summer's landmark fixture against City in Beijing to millions of fans in China.
The game was broadcast live via Beijing TV and both teams warmed up wearing T-shirts with messages in Mandarin. There were also displays on perimeter boards promoting the fixture in the Bird's Nest Stadium on July 27.
The Club also played host to China Ambassador in London, Liu Xiaoming.
Arsenal's Chief Executive, Ivan Gazidis, said: "It was a good opportunity to promote the summer match to supporters in China. We have a strong following there and are looking forward to visiting in July.
"We have had tremendous support from the Ambassador and it was great to have him with us as a guest."

Tuesday 31st May 2011
For purely football reasons, unless anything went in our favour up at Bolton last Sunday, the trip to Craven Cottage was always going to be a bit of a non-event. On the other hand, off the field it is an away game that always proves immensely entertaining, even if you ignore the excuse that it was our last outing of another season!
Over the last few years it has become a fixture that for many Gooners includes a trip along our capital city's river. With demand being higher than ever a second boat also set sail from Westminster with a full four hours of fun 'n' frolics to look forward to.
If nothing else, after an incredibly frustrating season it gave all of those present a chance to let their hair down in an altogether thoroughly relaxing way. And from what I can recall, we did just that!
The game itself arguably gave a perfect summary of our season. More goals conceded, more goals scored and ultimately two points less than we set out to take away before a ball was kicked.
To be honest however, with nothing but pride at stake at least it wasn't a boring 0-0 draw and it made up a small part of what was always going to be an entertaining day for those who wanted it to be.
It did bring down the curtain on a season that promised so much as we headed into 2011, yet ultimately produced nothing but disappointment and frustration in the latter stages. There isn't really any other way we can describe it.
Mr Wenger has suggested it could be a busy summer and time will certainly tell how that develops. Tightening up our defensive qualities as a team is surely the No 1 priority. There are many games this season that confirm that.
The best thing about being a football fan is that when one season finishes, whatever the outcome, we can all look forward to the next one!
As we head into the summer break trips to Malaysia, China and Germany have already been announced as we prepare ourselves for an early season that will include a tough Champions League qualifier. Twice before we have been in that situation so we know what to expect.
For now however, social activities involving aspects such as the sound of leather on willow, music festivals and the beach are calling!
Thanks once again for all your e-mails and comments throughout the season.
Keep the faith and enjoy the break!

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger has confirmed that Theo Walcott will stay with Arsenal this season.
The England international had been linked with a move away from Emirates Stadium before the transfer window closes after failing to agree a new contract with the Club.
Walcott's current deal expires next summer but Wenger is hopeful of securing the 23-year-old's services for the long-term.
"His situation is simple - he will stay with us and play for us. No [he will not leave this window]," said Wenger.
"Theo has one year to go [on his contract] and that is simple. We have to find an agreement with him on whether to extend the contract or not for a longer period. That is what we want to do.
"I think Theo loves the club. Contrary to what some media have written he is not obsessed by money, there is just a little difference that we hope we can, at some stage, find an agreement with. That is it basically."

I too have had good luck with them in the past,, as well as The Armory, and Target Sports. These guys have been my go-to's for ammo for some time now and all of them have been good, no issues at all.
Other than the limited amounts of available calibers and options, but everyone is in that mode right now. I've gotten re-manufactured ammo from Independence Ammo lately also. Good quality/ functioning ammo at reasonable prices there too.
It seems the only people that have some of the more desirable ammo in stock are the ones that Poon ya on shipping. Aim and J&G are like that,,,,very expensive shipping rates. So I stopped buying from them, I don't know where they got there rate chart from but it's 2-3 times more than anyone else's rates??? Why? I was going to get 10 Mosin ammo pouches, @.50 ea and a AR style sling and it was 21 bucks for shipping????? WHAT???? Those combined couldn't have weighed more than 1 1/2-2 lbs,, that's sure not 21 bucks to ship by anyone's rates,, not even by overnight rates. fug them,,,,
No biggie,,, I just don't buy from them, there just shooting themselves in the foot with there exorbitant shipping rates, sense when did it cost almost 35 bucks to ship 500 rounds of 223? You got to be shitting me!

Viewing the Stack with gdb
[ By: Don Bahls ]
The gdb debugger is great for debugging serial applications or to inspect core files generated by parallel applications. In this article we'll take a look at some gdb stack related commands. These basic commands can go a long way toward helping you track down bugs in your code.
Before you can begin debugging a code, it is helpful to compile your code with "-g".
midnight% pathf90 mycode.f90 -g -o mycode
If you would like to look at core files, you may have to increase the core file limit so that the system can generate an output file.
midnight% limit coredumpsize unlimited
midnight% ulimit -Sc unlimited
MPI jobs on midnight have unusual requirements to make limits work properly see: http://www.arsc.edu/support/howtos/usingsun.html#mpi
Now that we covered the basics, let take a look at some examples. Most of these examples use the code from the quick tip question from issue > 393 .
Compile the code with the following:
midnight% gcc -g realloc_bug.c -o realloc_bug
Then run the code under "gdb"
midnight% gdb ./realloc_bug ... # Create a breakpoint for the try_realloc routine (gdb) break try_realloc Breakpoint 1 at 0x400668: file realloc_bug.c, line 9. # Run the code (gdb) run Starting program: /home/bahls/realloc_bug Breakpoint 1, try_realloc (str=0x501010 "", addstr=0x40081c "first string,") at realloc_bug.c:9 9 size_t len = strlen( str ); # Continue running the code past the first call of "try_realloc". (gdb) continue Continuing. first string, Breakpoint 1, try_realloc (str=0x501010 "first string,", addstr=0x40082e " second string.") at realloc_bug.c:9 9 size_t len = strlen( str ); # Move ahead two lines in the code. (gdb) step 2 12 str = realloc( str, ( len + addlen + 1 ) * sizeof( char ) );Now we can try out some stack related commands.
"backtrace" - This command shows a trace for all subroutines that are currently on the call stack along with the values of any arguments passed to the subroutines.
(gdb) backtrace #0 try_realloc (str=0x501010 "first string,", addstr=0x40082e " second string.") at sample.c:12 #1 0x00000000004006fb in main () at sample.c:23The "bt" and "where" commands are shortcuts for "backtrace" if you prefer not to type so much.
"backtrace full" - Shows the same information as a standard "backtrace" but also lists the names and values of all locally defined variables.
(gdb) backtrace full #0 try_realloc (str=0x501010 "first string,", addstr=0x40082e " second string.") at sample.c:12 len = 13 addlen = 15 #1 0x00000000004006fb in main () at sample.c:23 str = 0x501010 "first string,"
"up" - This command lets you move up the stack one frame to the subroutine that called the current subroutine. Here the "up" command moves us from "try_realloc" to the "main" routine.
(gdb) up #1 0x00000000004006fb in main () at sample.c:23If you would like to move up multiple stack frames, you can specify an argument to indicate how many frames to move up (e.g. "up 10" will move up 10 frames). To move down the call stack, use the "down" command.
"info args" - Displays the values that were passed to the subroutine. This is similar information to what is shown by the "backtrace" output, but is in a more readable format.
(gdb) info args str = 0x501010 "first string," addstr = 0x40082e " second string."
"info locals" - Displays any local variables on the stack. The "backtrace full" command also shows this information.
(gdb) info locals len = 13 addlen = 15
Here are a few other commands that can be useful with more complicated codes.
"backtrace N" - This command shows the N innermost call frames on the stack. Likewise "backtrace -N", shows the N outermost call frames on the stack. The latter could be useful if you run into a situation where you have a stack overflow, or an error in a recursive routine. Here's an example of a stack trace from an incorrect implementation of a recursive Fibonacci function.
e.g. show the 4 outermost stack frames.
(gdb) backtrace -4 #2620 0x000000000040051e in fib (v=-2) at fib.c:7 #2621 0x000000000040051e in fib (v=-1) at fib.c:7 #2622 0x000000000040052b in fib (v=1) at fib.c:7 #2623 0x0000000000400553 in main () at fib.c:15From this trace it looks like frame #2622 is where the problem started because frame #2621 shows the fib routine called with a negative value.
"select-frame V" - Lets you jump to an arbitrary stack frame. For example you might want to look at frame #2622
(gdb) select-frame 2622 (gdb) info args
You can find great documentation for gdb on the Free Software Foundation website:http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ The following C program starts with an empty string. It then tries [[ to append some text to it using the function try_realloc. That [[ function simply reallocates memory to increase the size of the [[ target string and copies the contents of a second string to its [[ end. However, the code sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. [[ What is wrong and how do I fix it? [[ [[ #include <stdio.h> [[ #include <string.h> [[ #include <stdlib.h> [[ [[ /* extends str with the content of addstr, reallocates memory to [[ be able to store a longer string */ [[ void try_realloc( char* str, const char* addstr ) [[ { [[ size_t len = strlen( str ); [[ size_t addlen = strlen( addstr ); [[ [[ str = realloc( str, ( len + addlen + 1 ) * sizeof( char ) ); [[ strncat( str, addstr, addlen+1 ); [[ } [[ [[ int main() [[ { [[ char *str = calloc( 1, sizeof(char) ); /* str = "" */ [[ [[ try_realloc( str, "first string," ); [[ printf( "%s\n", str ); [[ [[ try_realloc( str, " second string." ); [[ printf( "%s\n", str ); [[ [[ free( str ); [[ return 0; [[ } [[ This question exposed the C programming mastery of readers Brad Chamberlain, Jed Brown, Sean Ziegeler, Greg Newby, Jim Long and Chris Young. They all pointed out that the occasional errors in this code are due to a combination of the semantics of C parameter passing (call by value) and the way the realloc() function works. As Jed Brown put it: There are a couple of things which are wrong. Most seriously, if realloc moves the memory pointed to by str, it will not be reflected in the str in main. Thus main's str will be a hanging pointer and the memory moved by realloc will be lost. To solve this, we must write our function to take the address of main's str. Another point is that if realloc fails, it returns NULL but leaves the existing memory intact. With the construction shown, this memory will be lost since str becomes a NULL pointer. Then strncat will get NULL as its first argument which will segfault. To fix this, we need a temporary pointer so that we can keep track of this potentially lost memory and fail gracefully. ... Note that the original program does not fail on my machine for the given strings because calloc gives a sufficiently large starting buffer, hence realloc does not move it. Brad Chamberlain had another possible code fix: If you're using a sufficiently C++-compatible C compiler, you might be able to change the argument to try_realloc into a char* reference: void try_realloc(char*& str, ...) which would require no changes at the callsite or in the try_realloc() definition, and would cause changes to the variable to be reflected at the callsite. One downside to this approach is that C programmers are not accustomed to having their function arguments change if they don't see a &(...) at the callsite, so this can lead to confusion. Several Quick Tip solvers pointed out that some defensive programming might avoid future problems, and Greg Newby kindly offered a solution with error checking: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <errno.h> /* gbn: for strerror() */ /* extends str with the content of addstr, reallocates memory to be able to store a longer string */ /* gbn: return the (new) value of *str */ char* try_realloc( char* str, const char* addstr ) { size_t len = strlen( str ); size_t addlen = strlen( addstr ); /* gbn: added cast to char* for realloc; added check for success */ str = (char*) realloc( str, ( len + addlen + 1 ) * sizeof( char ) ); if (str == NULL) { printf("realloc failed! %s\n", strerror(errno)); exit(1); } strncat( str, addstr, addlen+1 ); return(str); /* gbn: return the (new) value of *str */ } int main() { /* gbn: added cast to char* for calloc; added check for success */ char *str = (char*) calloc(1, sizeof(char)); /* str = "" */ if (str == NULL) { printf("calloc failed! %s\n", strerror(errno)); exit(1); } str=try_realloc( str, "first string," ); /* gbn: get new value for str */ printf( "%s\n", str ); str=try_realloc( str, " second string." ); /* gbn: new value for str */ printf( "%s\n", str ); free( str ); return 0; } Furthermore, Jed Brown also pointed out a problem with strncat(): Since the length of the strings has been checked, we don't even need to use strncat (strcat would be okay) but it would be an off-by-one error if the code was reorganized later. This is because strncat(pre,suf,n) appends at most n bytes of suf to pre and then appends a '\0'. Finally, puzzle author Anton Kulchitsky had these parting words of wisdom: There is an important improvement which can be made to the code. The functions strcpy or memcpy are much faster options than strcat/strncat. In Greg's program for example, replace the strncat() line with strcpy( str+len, addstr ); [Editor's note: Anton pointed me to the GNU C Library documentation which boldly declares that "Programmers using the strcat or wcscat function (or the following strncat or wcsncar functions for that matter) can easily be recognized as lazy and reckless." However, that statement seemed a little too inflammatory to include in this newsletter.] A good tool to check for many memory problems is valgrind which is available only on Linux machines. It shows that there is a problem in this code. Unfortunately, it is very hard to find where the problem occurs from its output. To make the output more informative, the compiler option -g needs to be used to produce debugging information. In this case, valgrind says which lines of the code cause an error. [Editor's note: Watch for an article on valgrind in a future issue.] Thank you, C wizards, for a very thorough analysis of this little program. I suspect the Fortran programmers in the audience are feeling pretty good right now. Q: My advisor just asked me to run a hundred different simulations. Is there an easy way to generate a PBS script for each of the input files he gave me? If it helps, the input file is passed on the command line to the program. e.g. ./a.out input000.nc And each input file is in a separate directory. input001/input001.nc input002/input002.nc ... input100/input100.nc So how do I do make this happen without wearing out my keyboard?

The City of Lakeland will be purging approximately 7 miles of natural gas pipeline so that a qualified gas pipeline contractor can install a new valve. The venting process will take place on December 3, 2013 at 3200 Old Polk City Road. There could be a very loud high pitched noise that may last up to one hour as the system is purged.
When pipeline segments are taken out of service for maintenance purposes, it is standard practice to depressurize the pipeline and vent the system. An inert gas (nitrogen) is used to purge any residual natural gas contained within the pipeline to make it safe for the maintenance work to occur.
After the new valve is installed, natural gas will be allowed to flow back into the pipeline at the McIntosh Power Plant located at 3030 East Lake Parker Drive.
The recharging of the natural gas pipeline is scheduled to occur between December the 4-6 depending on how the work progresses. When the inert gas is purged there will be a loud high pitched noise once again at 3200 Old Polk City Road.

Funny jokes on here, just too damn long. Here's a short one for ya :
Should children witness child birth?
Due to a power outage, only one paramedic
responded to the call. The house was very dark so
the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to
hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could
see while he helped deliver the baby. Very
diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi
pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor
was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to
cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her
help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she
thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen
quickly responded, 'He shouldn't have crawled in
there in the first place......spank him again!'

A brilliant young boy was applying for a job with the railways. The interviewer asked him: "Do you know how to use the equipment?" "Yes", the boy replied. "Then what would you do if you realized that 2 trains, one from this station and one from the next were going to crash because they were on the same track?" The young applicant thought and replied "I'd press the button to change the points without hesitation." The interviewer nodded & asked: "What if the button was frozen and wouldn't work?" "I'd run outside and pull the lever to change the points manually" Replied the boy. "And if the lever was broken?" Asked the interviewer. "I'd get on the phone to the next station and tell them to change the points," he replied. "And if the phone was broken and needed an electrician to fix it?" The interviewer asked. The boy went silent for a few moments & finally replied: "I'd run into town and get my uncle". "Is your uncle an electrician?" Asked the interviewer. "No", replied the boy, "But he's never seen a train crash before!"
1st woman: Hi! My name is Nan.
2nd woman: Hi! I'm Sarah. How'd you die?
NAN: I froze to death.
SARAH: How horrible!
NAN: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?
SARAH: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.
NAN: So, what happened?
SARAH: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.
NAN: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer - we'd both still be alive.
Why doesn't viagra work on rednecks?
'Cos they're only hard when they've got ten friends standing behind them.
Three dogs are sitting in the waiting room of a vets office. One is a
poodle, one is a schnauzer and the other is a great Dane.
The poodle turns to the schnauzer and asks "why are you here?"
The schnauzer responds, "I'm 17 years old. I don't see or hear very well.
I've been having accidents in the house. My owner says I'm too old and sick
so he brought me here to be put to sleep."
The schnauzer asks the poodle "why are you here?"
The poodle responds, "I've not been myself lately. I've been especially high
strung. I've been barking all the time, I've been snapping at people and I
even bit one of the neighbor's kids. Nobody knows why this has been
happening. My owner says he can't risk me biting somebody else so he brought
me here to be put to sleep."
The poodle and schnauzer ask the great Dane why he is here.
The great Dane responds: "My owner is this beautiful runway model. Yesterday
she was walking around the house naked when she suddenly bent down to pick
up something she dropped. She was bent over and naked when nature took over
and the next thing I know I'm on top of her doing the doggie thing. I
couldn't help myself. "
The poodle asks: "so she brought you here to put to sleep?"
"Oh, no...., I'm just here to get my nails trimmed."
Bob was telling a friend that he had just lost his job.
"Why did the foreman fire you? The friend asked in surprise.
Oh, Bob said, You know how foreman are. They stand around with their hands in their pockets watching everybody else work.
We all know that, Replied his friend, But why did he let you go?
Jealousy! Answered Bob. All the other workers thought I was the foreman.
One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast to her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked: "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?" Her mother replied: "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said: "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"
A nun, badly needing to use to the restroom, walked into a local Hooters. The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while the lights would turn off. Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.
However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent. She walked up to the bartender, and asked, 'May I please use the restroom?
The bartender replied, 'OK, but I should warn you that there is a statue of a naked man in there wearing only a fig leaf.'
'Well, in that case, I'll just look the other way,' said the nun. So, the bartender showed the nun to the back of the restaurant.
After a few minutes, she came back out and the whole place stopped just long enough to give the nun a loud round of applause. She went to the bartender and said, 'Sir, I don't understand. Why did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?'
'Well, now they know you're one of us,' said the bartender, 'Would you like a drink?'
'But, I still don't understand,' said the puzzled nun.
'You see,' laughed the bartender, 'Every time someone lifts the fig leaf on that statue, the lights go out...... Now, how about that drink?'
A man came home from work, sat down in his favourite chair, turned on the TV and said to his wife: Quick, bring me a beer before it starts.
She looked a little puzzled, but brought him a beer. When he finished it, he said: Quick, bring me another beer. Its going to start.
This time she looked a little angry, but brought him a beer. When it was gone, he said: Quick, another beer before it starts.
Thats it! She blows her top, You b@stard! You waltz in here, flop your fat arse down, dont even say hello to me and then expect me to run around like your slave. Dont you realize that I cook and clean and wash and iron all day long?
The husband sighed. Damn, its started.
Just Fred
A cop stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, so he asks the biker his name.
"Fred," he replies.
"Fred what?" the officer asks.
"Just Fred," the man responds.
The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the biker a break and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name. The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it.
The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. "Tell me Fred, how did you lose your last name?"
The biker replies, "It's a long story, so stay with me. I was born Fred Dingaling. I know - a funny last name. The kids used to tease me all the time, so I stayed to myself, studied hard and got good grades. When I got older I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Dingaling, MD.
"After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through school, got my degree, so then I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS. Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS, with VD.
"Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Fred Dingaling, MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Dingaling with VD. Then the VD took away my Dingaling, so now I am Just Fred."
The officer walked away in tears, laughing.

After their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided
that was enough, as they could not afford a larger
So the husband went to his veterinarian and told
him that
he and his cousin didn't want to have any more
The doctor told him that there was a procedure
a vasectomy that could fix the problem but that it
was expensive. "A less
costly alternative," said the doctor, "is to go
home, get a cherry bomb,
(fireworks are legal in Alabama ) light it, put it
in a beer can, then hold the can up
to your ear and count to 10."
The Alabamian s aid to the doctor, "I may not be
the smartest tool in the shed, but I
don't see how put ting a ch erry bomb in a beer
can next to my ear is going to
help me."
"Trust me," said the doctor.
So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it
in a beer can. He held the
can up to his ear and began to count!
" 2"
At which point he paused, placed the beer can
between his legs and
continued counting on his other hand.

A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. This is amazing. I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand what we are teaching??? Through the eyes of a child.
In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did. Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden. Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.
Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton
Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable. God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments.
These include don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff. Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother. One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town. After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me. After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed upon the shore. There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of the New Testament. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn, too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say yes. During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Republicans. Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst
one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.
Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.
Any way's, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.

Unless you live under a rock I am sure your all aware of these 2 massive projects coming in the near future and this debate is a pretty popular one among social media and gaming sites right now, heres my 2 cents.
Eso > wildstar for me.
1. I prefer the more realistic less chaotic art style and world.
2. The customization is awesome compared Wildstar, the paths and stuff are neat but they pretty basic.
3. I dont enjoy 40 man PvE raids for best gear.
4. The World / questing / immersion / lore is far better.
5. Crafting
In my humble opinion both of these games are fun and worth your time / money but they are very different games and I think both can possible be very successful. Wildstar is going for the WoW crowd which is massive and I think they will get a lot of them, its fresh its fun the combat is fast paced and smooth, but for me the ESO world has sucked me in hard compared to the cartoon space acid trip world. War plots are very neat idea, bgs are a bonus its one thing Eso is lacking.
I will undoubtedly play WildStar down the line when I eventually bore of ESO but for right now after playing both games ESO left me dying to play more and develop my character further, if you ever played single player rpgs like skyrim / oblivion you will see how much of that magic they did capture. From all the lootable objects, the interactive world where NPCs respond to you based on what you have done and they respond to others based on there experiences its 1 seamless world but its phased really well to still feel like your making a big impact on the world, areas left peaceful after you cleared them and what not, npcs in the next town whispering stuff like "omg thats xxx ive heard of him he did xxx in xxx". Serious rewards for exploration, most of the quests are not given by hubs you merely walk to somewhere and boom quest for that area appears. "pst hey over here by the bush.." kinda triggers. Pick able chests with sick items, aspect runes, and omg dont get me started on there epic crafting system :P
In sumation both games are awsome for many reasons but for me ESO all the way, where do you sit in this debate and why did you chose that side?

Since day 1, I've always wanted an early Mk1 Scirocco that was Silver with plaid interior. Probably 5 years or so ago I pulled this old gal right out of the ghetto of Brooklyn. Short story is, the original owner of the car was a librarian in a D.C. library and only drove it to and from work a short way and it was always garage kept. Years later he passed it on to his nephew who moved away and used the car as a daily beater.. along the way the car was street parked and it earned many battle scars and half assed body-repairs. I found it on NYC craigslist and plucked it out of its doomed NYC life. It had 77K miles when I got it, I think it has 83K-ish now..
For years I've dealt with the damage and patina and the car has changed many times over the years. Over the past few years I haven't given it much attention and really have let the condition go downhill as I focused on other projects. After the same buyer has bailed on buying it from me twice.. I have decided it's only right that I give this car the attention it deserves and build it how I've always wanted.
I've been quietly collecting parts for this car for a number of years, so far I have almost all of the body panels I need to replace all of the damaged ones. From a NOS Hood, fenders, to a NOS early rear hatch (courtesy of SciroccoJim).. all I need is a good or new front core support and I'll be in business! I also have a nice collection of oddball/rare parts for the car that I've been hoarding to really make the car stand out and give it my special touch. I'll start digging into this as I get time between my other 2 projects and I'll post as I dig into the car and find what rust, rot, and damage I need to tackle.
Some photos of it over the years.. and some goodies I have set aside...
When I bought it.
First Mods
First Engine Swap
First H2O
2nd Set of wheels
3rd set of wheels and with a g60
Some goodies set aside...
Replacing the G-lader with some oldschool tuner bits.. Autotech Magnacharger Kit
16" Type 5's
Watch this space... just getting geared up....

Ok, from the new member section, I know there are a lot of Texans out here on this site.
Maybe we can meet up one day - after the site has been around longer, possibly we can have enough people to work something out.
Anyway, I'm in the College Station area.
So, all U fellow Texans - say howdy!

Robert P. Maupin
Robert "Bob" Preston Maupin, 86, walked through heaven's gates on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 in Billings, Montana. He was born August 8, 1927 to Robert, Sr. and Mary (Dolan) Maupin in Grainton, Nebraska. Robert was the fourth of nine children and graduated from Grainton High School in 1945. He lived at the family home, helping his dad on the farm until he graduated.
In January of 1951, Robert was inducted into the US Army. He spent a year in Germany and was honorably discharged January 1953. The following month, he was called to Gering, NE to help on the Emery Tillotson farm. While there, he met Betty Jo Tillotson and they were married May 3, 1953. Three daughters were added to this marriage. His family was excited to be able to celebrate Robert and Betty's 60th anniversary May 3, 2013.
Robert and Betty lived in the Gering area and in December 1956 he began working at the US Postal Department during the Christmas holiday. Then in January 1957, he became a full-time employee, working as a foot carrier on the same route until he retired in 1985. He was dearly loved by all of his postal patrons for his kindness and thoughtfulness. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy.
He was a farmer at heart and carried that through his whole life. He and Betty would grow an unbelievable garden year after year. Of course, their kids and grandkids got to share in the rewards of their hard work, dedication and loving labor to their "hobby.".
Robert was always there to help anyone in need, including neighbors, friends and family. He had a very loving and giving spirit. Having a clear and sharp mind to the end, if you ever wanted to get involved in a rousing political discussion, he was the guy to go to! He welcomed and enjoyed every minute of it.
Coming from a very close family, they all enjoyed each other immensely. Whenever he was visited by his brothers and sisters, the same childhood stories were told over and over, and each time the same robust laughter was heard from all!
After moving to Billings he worked for the Malcom Long family as their yard and garden maintenance man for many years.
Robert was preceded in death by infant sister, Virgina; parents; sister Roberta Norton, nephew Matt Maupin. He is survived by his wife Betty; daughters, Randy Kay (Wade) Powell, Mary Loree (Loren) Hinebauch, Robin Renee Maupin; 8 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; 3 sisters, 3 brothers, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Dad was a very proud patriot, husband and father. He will be missed greatly by his family and friends.
Visitation will be 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Friday at Dahl Funeral Chapel. Funeral Services will be 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 18, 2014 at Valley Christian Church, 1603 St. John Ave., Billings, 59102, with burial following at Sunset Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers the family has requested memorials be made to the Maupin Family Fund, c/o Western Security Bank, Billings, MT.
Memories and condolences may be shared with the family at www.dahlfuneralchapel.com

Senator Jon Kyl, sequestration, and the economy
posted at 12:08 pm on May 25, 2012 by Dustin Siggins
In an article published last evening, Politico outlined how Republican senators are pushing back against the sequestration "cuts" in defense spending that are supposed to begin next year. Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-AZ) included in his argument the potential economic pitfalls of these changes to defense spending, citing a recent Congressional Budget Office report that says spending "cuts" set for next year – combined with the tax increases set to be enacted next year – would harm the economy's growth by about 3.9%.
While there are many arguments for not cutting defense spending, I do not believe Senator Kyl's is a convincing one. First and foremost, smart cuts (especially in waste, fraud, etc. in the Pentagon) could easily eliminate fifteen percent from defense spending without harming our national interests or the ability of the troops to conduct missions. And while I am in agreement with Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) and The Heritage Foundation that sequestration's form of defense cuts are not smart cuts, Kyl's choice to oppose cuts on the behalf of the economy seems more ideological than economical. After all, Kyl has strongly supported significant spending reductions (including the House-passed Cut, Cap and Balance proposal) in the past, and introduced legislation with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) earlier this year to reduce the deficit by $110 billion through federal worker pay freezes and federal work force reductions. He also made a strong statement on the Senate floor in April 2011 in which he said the following:
And it is the private sector that creates jobs. What we need to do is spend less government money – not only to get ourselves out from under this huge debt burden, but to allow the private economy to have the resources to grow…
An argument against sequestration can be made a variety of philosophically-consistent grounds, and Republicans (including Kyl) have made many of them. But given what he said in 2011 about Medicare spending reductions via eliminating wasteful spending, Kyl should actually support smart defense cuts:
At a Sept. 13 hearing of the deficit-reduction Super Committee, several lawmakers singled out Medicare's wasteful spending as one way to save a significant sum without gutting popular entitlements. "We can save on Medicare without cutting benefits," Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Arizona, said, citing a Cato Institute study on fraud and waste.
Senator Kyl has led Senate Republicans against the Democrats and their wishes to cut defense spending, and my disagreement with his stance does not diminish my respect for his generally consistent position on defense spending. However, his comments yesterday leave me with two important questions:
- Why did Senator Kyl vote for the Budget Control Act – which enacted sequestration – given the CBO's claims for years that even moderate spending reductions would harm economic growth?
- How do the economic impacts of defense spending cuts differ from spending reductions or cuts in the rest of the federal government?
I reached out to Senator Kyl's press secretary this morning via phone and e-mail regarding these questions, but received no response to either message.

AMES, Iowa -- The successful pork industry distance education programs SowBridge and PorkBridge are scheduled to begin in early February, so those who want to participate need to register very soon. Iowa State University animal science professor and extension swine specialist Ken Stalder said registrations are still being accepted.
"Although the registration deadline to ensure materials are received in time for the first session for each program has passed, people can still register by completing the form and submitting payment," he said. "We will do our best to get materials to our subscribers in time for the initial sessions on Feb. 5 and 6, respectively."
Stalder, who also is the Iowa contact for the programs, said the programs offer accurate and timely information on a variety of topics through a regular schedule. In addition, the registration fee has not increased for either program. Each registration provides access to one phone line per session and all the materials for all sessions. For operations with more than one location, lower fees for subsequent registrations from the same entity are available.
"Cost is $250 for SowBridge and $125 for PorkBridge," he said. "Contact us at the Iowa Pork Industry Center for any questions on either program."
More information on SowBridge, including a link to the program brochure, is available on the IPIC website. The website also has a section for PorkBridge including that brochure. Iowa residents who want more information on either program can call IPIC at 800-808-7675.
SowBridge and PorkBridge are sponsored by a group of 11 state universities – including Iowa State – from the major swine producing states.
IPIC was established in 1994 as a coordinated effort of the colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University. Its mission is to promote efficient pork production technologies in Iowa, maintain Iowa's pork industry leadership and strengthen rural development efforts. IPIC focuses its efforts on programs that are integral and complementary to ISU Extension. Through IPIC, Iowa producers receive accurate and timely information to make their operations more efficient and profitable.

Ahead of Saturday's reunion with Robert Pires, Arsène Wenger insists the cultured French midfielder would still be an asset to any Premier League side.
Wenger knows better than most the quality possessed by Pires after his illustrious six-year spell with the Club and despite his aging years believes the 37-year-old can be a real threat, if employed in the correct way at the right time.
Seven days ago Pires joined this weekend's opponents Aston Villa on a six-month deal after spending a few weeks training with the Arsenal first team to maintain his fitness. After taking a close look at him the Arsenal manager feels Pires still has plenty to offer at the highest level.
"He is the type of player who can help any team in the Premier League," said Wenger. "Just at that age it is important you use him well at the right moment.
"No [I am not surprised at his move] because I saw what he has been doing in training. I am not surprised that Gerard Houllier thought about him."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I found one and put it on layway. It is a -4 3inch with porting. Any help with history and production #'s?
Case hardened hammer and trigger? No Lock? Nice grips. I like!
I had one and foolishly traded it on who knows what a few years back. I beleive mine was a -4. Very nice soft shooting 44 mag. With the porting it ought to be even softer. Good trigger and accurcy. Mine had hogue grips and no porting. Great shooter and about as fun as a 44 magnum can be.
Pretty lil wrist-cracker.
Get her dirty and check back with us.
Great score.
Thanks to all. I have it home now. Need to get to the range. I put some rubber Houge grips on for now. I found some very nice rosewoods on Smith and Wessons site. Range time on Wend or Thurs.
Get some 44 special and put through her for a few hundred rounds. You'll love it. Then try some lite mag.
Very soft and easy shooting for a 44. I sold one to a customer and his wife started shooting it and
she liked it so much she never gave it back to him. He bought another about 2 months later !
Great piece for defense too. Put some glaser silver in it and you will fear no man !
Get a keammer holster from the dillon catalog. Great match for the gun !

Alan Hughes talks to the inspirational voice of the radical left.
Across the globe, migrants – men and women, the old and the young – are routinely deprived of their liberty. The problem is getting worse. States are holding people on the move for longer, and in greater numbers, than ever before. Between them, Europe and the US imprisoned close to 1 million migrants in 2011. This damaging, brutal and costly practise is spreading to new pastures – Indonesia, Mauritania, Ukraine – sponsored by the rich world. What can be done to stop detention? To ensure that migrants are welcomed – not imprisoned?

Bikini Clad Jennifer Lawrence's Thanksgiving Holiday Hawaiian Hotness
Spending the Turkey Day holiday soaking up the sun, Jennifer Lawrence was back out for another afternoon at the beach in Maui, Hawaii on Thursday (November 22).
The Katniss Everdeen damsel toted a striped towel in-hand as she showed off her svelte swimsuit figure in a navy two-piece while strolling along the Pacific Ocean shoreline with her swim trunks clad brother.
The leisurely Thanksgiving outing comes amidst the second day in which the cast of the wildly-popular "Hunger Games" franchise is situated in the tropical locale to film the second installment titled "Catching Fire."
In a recent interview with the Telegraph, 22-year-old Miss Lawrence opened up about her love for the new and returning cast, saying, "It's great to return here ... It just feels like being a sophomore in high school … normally the first day at work is like a first day of school, and a lot of times you don't know if you're going to make friends. On this movie [though], I just "adore" everyone in [the 'Catching Fire' cast."

In the 1920s, a pompous strutting man seized control over Italy to wide acclaim as he promised effficiency and order. Benito Mussolini is dead, butSilvio Berlusconi has strutted on the stage of power to promise efficiency and order once again for the people of Italy. After three weeks of talks with his pro-Fascist allies and anti-immigrant friends, Berlusconi has announced a new Cabinet that promises to get Italy back on the road to prosperity. In a surprising move, he has appointed four attractive women to important positions within the govenment, undoubtedly, a move to assure the nation not only brains, but beauty will be in charge. Among his appointees is Roberto Calderoli, a Muslim-baiting politicia who once wore a tee-shirt showing one of the Danish cartoons.
"I have five years to change the country," declared Berlusconi and with his pro-Fascist allies and business leaders, he may well make changes. Of course, the issue is who benefits from the changes and who loses?

"Larry, I've got bad news for you. Because you are the youngest member on board, it says here we're going to have to throw you overboard as a sacrifice should we find ourselves approaching a hazardous area or a sea monster breeding ground. It's called 'ducking,' and is reported to be very effective", I read out of an ancient mariner's book of the sea.
Larry tries his best to ignore me.
"Just so happens we will be sailing right through one of those sea monster breeding grounds coming up", Randy, the captain, chimes in, as he surveys a large chart of the Southern Atlantic.
Larry puts down the knot book he's been studying and reluctantly pulls himself out of his comfortable seat. He makes his way over to the chart where Randy is grinning like a Cheshire cat. "Very funny, guys. Looks to me like it used to say tropic of Capricorn here, and it's been crossed out and sea monsters was written in with crayon."
"Well, it might just be that we don't have the right charts onboard. Says here that on all the old charts, sea monster breeding grounds were clearly marked on them", I add, not wanting to let Larry off the hook too easily.
Larry and I are about to leave on a 50-foot catamaran, helping our friends Randy and Melissa make a 6,000-odd mile passage from Cape Town, South Africa, to Trinidad. At dinner last night, the crew got onto the subject of superstitions at sea after I knocked some salt over and was yelled at to throw some over my left shoulder quickly. It made us start assessing just how well prepared we were in the good luck/bad luck department.
Here's what we've determined:
It's a brand new boat, so we don't need to worry about the bad luck that occurs when you change a boat's name. That's good. And luckily, the owners didn't choose a name that ends with the letter A. Boats whose name end in the letter A have been known to bring misfortune upon their crew throughout history, as evidenced by the likes of the Lusitania and the HMS Victoria.
We aren't leaving Cape Town on a Friday or on the 13 of the month, so that should be good for a few safe miles. Both of these are sure-fire ways to doom your voyage before you even get started. Also, the whole crew has been warned about keeping clear of black cats and overturned washbasins before boarding the boat for the final departure, since both are bringers of bad events.
On Serengeti, Larry and I never set off on a long voyage without ensuring that the Old Man of the Sea is happy with us, and luckily the captain of this boat has the same policy. A good shot tossed overboard to quench his ample thirst is never considered to be wasted rum. Particularly since you get to take one for yourself too.
Egads! We've got not one, but four women on board. That's bad. Very, very bad. For some strange reason, a pregnant woman or a naked one is OK. The guys have decided that it will now be necessary to get a naked girl pregnant to counteract this very bad omen.
Garlic. We need to check the galley and see where the garlic got stowed. It's very unlucky to have it close to the ship's compass, and in this day and age, probably bad to have it close to the GPS as well. We're not sure what effect, if any, it has on our satellite communications.
We decided we probably won't have to worry about the notorious Kraken sea monster. This is an octopus-like beast so large that no sailor has ever seen the full size of it. Purportedly, a crew member can be snatched from the deck swiftly and suddenly by a long tentacle of the Kraken, never to be seen again. But that was back in the days when ships moved at a snail's pace. A fast 50-foot catamaran like this ought to be able to outrun a big old fat sea monster who's obviously getting on in years.
There's no sailing through the Bermuda Triangle on this trip, so we should be safe in the mysterious disappearance field. We just have to hope none of us sees the ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman. The captain of this ship, a horrific blasphemer and a miserable sinner who loved his drink, was said to be so wicked that he sold himself to the devil. He was finally cursed for all eternity to wander through the huge storm in which he was lost, never succeededing in rounding the Cape of Good Hope. Some sailors swear he is roaming the entire Seven Seas. Today it is said that if you even sight this ship, misfortune will be your fate due to the severity of the curse. Since Cape Town, our port of departure, is very close to the Cape of Good Hope, we are particularly concerned about seeing the Flying Dutchman.
If we do get into a terrible storm, we can only hope to be as lucky as Joshua Slocum. The famed American solo-circumnavigator, in his 37-foot Spray, was seized with a terrible case of food poisoning when a huge storm came up. He set his sails as best he could, then went below and collapsed. Many hours later, he came back up top, only to find a man at the helm, guiding Spray safely through the storm. This man claimed to be the pilot from Columbus' ship, The Pinta. Slocum was so reassured that he went back below and slept until he was well, and Spray did just fine.
If we run out of wind, we'll have a few options to pursue. A good scratch is said to bring wind. Whistling, however, is not advised, since this often raises a storm, just like cutting your hair on board. The captain's not going to be happy, though, when we resort to sticking knives in the mast on the side from which we want the wind to start blowing. However, it is a long time maritime tradition, and he'll just have to get used to it if we find that the scratching doesn't work.
Shoes must not land upside down on deck when you take them off. This is unlucky because a shoe resembles a boat. If this happens, your boat is bound to also end upside down. We're lucky, though. Since we're sailing on a catamaran, both shoes would have to land upside down to initiate misfortune. Maybe we won't even wear shoes for the rest of the trip, just as a preventative measure.
In the early years of ocean voyaging, sailors were shipped out to sea with absolutely no knowledge of what to expect. In the midst of mighty storms, great anxiety arose from lack of sleep, seasickness, and concern for their lives. This can explain the apparitions in the waves that sailors on their death beds would swear to have seen, or why the screeches of birds would be mistaken for calls of their fellow shipmates returned from the dead. It's understandable how a big whale or a giant octopus could be confused for a sea monster.
Superstitions were a way to help deal with the utter helplessness sailors felt when being confronted by the incredible powers of the sea. Over the years, a great number of rituals and myths have evolved in which sailors believe and follow to "help" them safely make passages. It's pretty serious stuff when you really look into it. A wrong move and you can bring on a bad storm or be stuck in the doldrums forever. Worse yet, you could get snatched away by a terrible sea monster.
But don't worry about us out here. We've got Larry to "duck" should we find ourselves with a sea monster problem or in other hazardous situations. We can only hope that Randy will be one of the more enlightened, modern captains and just lower Larry over the side on a rope as a token offering to the sea monsters, leting him finish the journey with the rest of us. But then again, we've got the rest of the crew to think about also, so maybe we don't need to be too nice.
Words never to say on board a ship: egg, rabbit, pig, thirteen.
· Never turn a boat counter clockwise. This is said to be turning toward the devil.
· Coins under your mast bring luck and favorable winds for the voyage.
· Flowers on board represent a wreath for a doomed crew.
· Eyes painted on the bow of a ship will help her to see her way safely through all conditions.
· Dolphins are always a welcome and lucky sign.
· Never count the miles you have sailed, or miles left to reach port. (Good luck doing that with today's GPSs.)
· The sighting of a comet means an upcoming death on board.
· Children on board are a blessing. (Unfortunately for the kids, they are often later sacrificed to the sea gods or sea monsters.)
· Cats are good luck (as long as they're not black). They are said to predict weather and fortunes.
