Three Things I've Learned From The Walking Dead
I love zombies.
I watch Dawn of The Dead regularly and sex my girlfriend from behind so she can watch it too.
Zombies and everything zombie-related is very much a man's domain. It is the very personification of manliness to have at least one workable zombie survival guide in your head ready to be unleashed at the first news report including the terms 'monkey virus' 'unstoppable rabies victim' and/or 'Bruce Forsyth had been declared legally dead for almost 20 minutes before he rose again with the force of a thousand Imhoteps.'
If you need scientific proof of this NASA fact, simply turn to the nearest male in your vicinity. Scream "HUW EDWARDS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE DEAD ARE RISING" and quietly observe. If he doesn't immediately begin fashioning a weapon out of a coat rack and kitchen knives while mapping the quickest route to a fortified bowling alley, check his genitals, he's probably a woman. Or worse yet, he might be a zombie, and right now you're looking at his dick. Good luck with that one asshole.
It's never stupid to be prepared. Sure, the odds of a zombie apocalypse happening are pretty much on a par with Bigfoot attacks and space Dracula invasion but that doesn't mean you shouldn't fucking think about it.
You might scoff at someone for Sasquatch-proofing their garden shed and filling it with animal carcasses but every minute spent devising a way to trap impossible Ape-Monsters is a good night's sleep for the residents of Jackson County, Oregon)
The Walking Dead is officially the only hour of TV in 24 that I actually give a fuck about. Solidly produced and smoothly directed, the show provides something for every demographic. First and foremost it is a zombie show, delivering action, scares and gore by the metric shit-load. But it's also a drama. The show hinges upon the characters who are skillfully crafted, written and performed so you actually care about who's being eaten and why. There is enough heart-felt melodrama in the show to keep women watching and since 90% of the things on screen are lifeless, screaming, hollowed out Halloween costumes, it won't be much of a leap for fans of Grey's Anatomy.
Although The Walking Dead might just be the most perfect show on TV that isn't called 'Dexter', 'Community' or 'BayWatch Nights', its realistic approach to the subject matter of zombies pops my fantasy balloon like a coat-rack covered in knives.
In my frequent dreams of getting a half day from work because the business end of a mortuary just started eating everyone I hate, I imagine myself, surrounded by friends, holed up in a supermarket, awaiting the inevitable exciting speedboat full of exciting supermodels to rescue us. Walking Dead paints a different, less erotic-speedboat-flavored image.
If the zombie apocalypse happens:
1) You probably won't be with your friends. You'll be surrounded by people you don't know or don't really like. Chances are the hordes of undead are going to attack while you are at work or while you're at the shops buying toilet roll. Last count there were over 7 billion people on the planet and there is a good chance most of them suck. Your best friend Byron might be a classically trained karate murderer with great cooking skills and a cupboard full of Ninja swords, but Gary who you just met in the dick-cream section of Tescos smells of milk and has a copy of the Daily Mail rolled up in his tracksuit bottoms. You are going to be spending the last few not-being-eaten-by-mummies days passing polite conversation with someone who thinks that Cheryl Cole's The Flood was actually a pretty good song & that Nick Griffin has some interesting points.
2) No one is going to wait for you. You'd like to think as you lie curled up crying in the basement of Argos, that your friends and family and significant others are holding off on kick-starting their battle-ready jetskies and heading off to that deserted zombie-less island a few miles off the coast because 'THEY JUST KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE HERE SOON.' Sorry. Bullshit.
Unending waves of brain-hungry Frankensteins have a profound effect on people's social priorities. You might well have matching Captain Planet rings and share the same favorite episode of Cheers, but when it comes to 'you' vs 'not being dead', you lose.
Your friends will have forgotten about you in the time it took one of them to say "Look. Five jet skis" and your girlfriend will be so filled with hansom jet ski repair man, you'll be a distant, disappointing memory.
3) It's going to get boring. Fast. No matter how exciting the prospect of shooting monsters with arrows might sound, most of the non-monster skewering time is going to be spent sitting around, being hungry. You're not even going to be able to masturbate because you live in a tent or in a sleeping bag next to 20 other people who can't sleep. Trust me. Either practise stealth wanking or fit your Fleshlight with a silencer. The apocalypse doesn't give you time or equipment to clean ejaculant out of a Camp-Master-Snuggie.
Without TV, the internet or poptarts, you're going to be climbing the fucking walls. You're actually going to have to talk to people, build a community, develop long term plans. It's like growing up & NO ONE wants to do that.
Responsibility comes hand in hand with the constant threat of cannibal attack and while before you could just call in sick for work or sleep in on Boxing Day, it's the end of the goddamn world and you totally CAN'T.
One slip is all it takes before you join the ranks of the living dead.
You have to be an adult 24/7 and that gives you absolutely no time to contemplate a workable Robot-Invasion plan.

Have Mac OS X alert you when you are back online
Network connection down? Want Mac OS X to announce to you when you are back online? Turn up the volume; start Terminal (by clicking on the Spotlight magnifying glass in the upper right of your screen, typing 'terminal', and hitting Return); type or paste the following into the window; and hit Return:
This will speak the words "Back online" to you when your network connection is reactivated.
Why this works
while true; do <some command>; donewill repeat the specified command until it hits a break statement
ping -c 1 <some IP address>will send one packet to the specified IP address, returning true (if the server responds) or false (if the server cannot be reached or fails to respond)
188.8.131.52is one of Google's public DNS servers, which should always be online and always respond to pings
say "<something>"will use the built-in text-to-speech synthesizer to speak the given text aloud and return true
breakwill exit the infinite loop
&&chains commands, executing each only if the preceding command returned a value of true
Putting these together, this command will send one packet at a time, forever, to a server that should always respond, and the first time the server responds, it will tell you that you are back online and stop checking.

Instead I logged on to the Fiji Air site to see if I could move my already booked flight to Taveuni for that very Wednesday without a huge cost. I could. So I did. ...

Michigan Says Consumer Expectations Up; Other Sources Say Not So
by Jack Loechner on May 26, 12:00 AM
Recently reported in USAToday, consumer sentiment rose more sharply than expected in early May, as Americans looked ahead to better economic times, market sources said. A University of Michigan survey component index on consumers' current view on the economy fell to 94.1 in early May from April's 96.4, but the index of consumers' future expectations jumped sharply to 92.7 from April's 79.3, the sources reported.

Female Owned Businesses a Haven for Advancement
by Jack Loechner on May 19, 12:00 AM
Jim Hopkins, writing in USA TODAY, says a study by the Center for Women's Business Research shows that the number of companies owned 50% or more by women last year jumped 11% from 1997, to 10.1 million, nearly twice the growth rate of all companies. About one of every 10 U.S. adults is a business owner, the center says. Though it did not calculate a separate rate for men, "that figure likely is higher than the rate for women," executive director Sharon Hadary says.

Eight in 10 Choose Newspapers Every Week
by Jack Loechner on May 19, 12:00 AM
"Nearly 80 percent of adults are making a conscious decision each week to pick up a newspaper - that kind of reach is hard to beat," said NAA President and CEO John Sturm. "Newspapers don't happen to be 'on' when you're in the room. If you're reading a newspaper, you're engaged in it - and eight in 10 people choose to be engaged each week."

The US University Audience on the Internet
by Jack Loechner on May 19, 12:00 AM
With nearly 10 million active users in March 2003, the U.S. university Internet audience is both sizable and influential. comScore Media Metrix, through a panel of 35,000 Internet users, finds that the university audience skews toward communication and entertainment sites. A recent report concludes that to effectively reach this audience it is essential for marketers to understand the distinct consumer preferences and usage patterns of university Internet users.

Ad Pages When the Sun Don't Shine
by Jack Loechner on May 19, 12:00 AM
James T. Madore, Staff Writer for Newsday.com, reports that officials said The New York Sun is promising to deliver a minimum number of readers or provide free ads. The move, called a "rate base guarantee," is standard practice in the magazine industry but unheard of in daily newspapers, analysts said. It comes as the Sun's circulation is growing, thanks in part to cutting the newsstand price, but its advertising remains minuscule.

Update: US-CERT Records Internet Explorer Security Advisory
An unpatched security hole in Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) browser has triggered an advisory that is now recorded with the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT).
Microsoft's security advisory was recorded with US-CERT as VU#493881 on December 11. Vulnerability was found in IE 7, but IE 5.01 SP4, IE 6 and IE 8 Beta2 are also potentially affected. The Vulnerability Note includes a number of possible workarounds.
The actual Security Advisory 961051 from Microsoft also includes the so-called Disable XML Island and Disable Row Position functionality workarounds. The problem came about through an error in the browser's XML parser that can cause IE to exit unexpectedly in a state that is exploitable from a specially prepared website. IE users affected by the bug will need to wait until the next monthly security update from Microsoft.
Update: Microsoft has since released a Security Bulletin Summary so that users don't need to wait until the next monthly update In January. The bulletin with the out-of-band patch covers two security issues, including the XML parser bug described in this article. Microsoft, in their usual fashion, accompanied the to-do with webcasts and advance notification.

Gold's Two Stories: Paper Markets Collapse... While The Retail Public Buys At A Record PaceSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/26/2015 20:10 -0400
We've seen some significant swings in precious metals over the last several years and if we are to believe the paper spot prices and recent value of mining shares, one would think that gold and silver are on their last leg. Last weekend precious metals took a massive hit to the downside, sending shock waves throughout the industry. But was the move really representative of what's happening in precious metals markets around the world? Or, is there an effort by large financial institutions to keep prices suppressed? In an open letter to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission First Mining Finance CEO Keith Neumeyer argues that real producers and consumers don't appear to be represented by the purported billion dollar moves on paper trading exchanges. With China recently revealing that they have added some 600 tons of gold to their stockpiles and the U.S. mint having suspended sales of Silver Eagles due to extremely high demand in early July, how is it possible that prices are crashing?

As is almost always the case, the price of gold was leaned on at the standard PLAN A time in London when The Gold Cartel traders reported for work, but their nudge was thwarted pretty quickly. Gold took off again going into the Comex trading hours and managed to reach $1200 where it was stopped dead in its tracks. James Mc early this morning…

10:23a HKT Thursday, March 14, 2013
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Your secretary/treasurer was interviewed today on "Squawk Box Asia" with Bernie Lo on CNBC Asia in Hong Kong. The interview, seven minutes long, may be notable less for anything your secretary/treasurer said than for Lo's acknowledgement that the gold investment world has been mostly turned into paper and hallucination. So word does seem to be getting around.

|Tuesday, March 16, 2010
Like Oregon, New Zealand has about 4 million residents, gorgeous beaches and a large and (let's face it) obnoxious neighbor intent on dominating the regional economy. If you think Oregonians have a bias against California, try talking to a Kiwi about Australia.
I've done my share of foreign traveling over the past 20 years, and this trip stands out for its positive vibe. No one tried to rip me off the entire time I was there. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that. Ironically, I think I ended up spending more as a result. I wanted to support what they have going on there. I can only hope that the experience is similar for visitors to Oregon.

8 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at FAA (Washington, DC).
Very personal and light hearted. Felt like it was a formality rather then a normal government interview. It was the only government interview that I ever had that was not a panel. The interviewer was the direct supervisor. Know yourself and your resume and you will do fine.
Interview Questions
- Experience with Title 14. Answer Question
Helpful (1)Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FAA (Washington, DC).
Very vague. In fact, I was assigned projects as they became available. However, I soon began to enjoy the diversity of the projects that were assigned to me. I eventually became the project manager over three very important operations. It wasn't until that I realized the importance of the functions of duties that I performed, that made me know just how valuable my skill set had been. With that being said, it was then that I really began to grab the bulls by the horns.

Panel style interview. Different department managers. Approx 10 questions. Are you a team player? Why do you want to work for the FAA? etc
Interview Questions
- What did you not like about your previous job? Answer Question
Reasons for Declining
I had a better opportunity in another sunny state on the west coast
- No OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at FAA (Alexandria, VA) in October 2011.
From the time the job closed to interview, it was almost 4 months. Was asked a series of several "what would you do in this situation" questions. They thanked me for my time and asked if I had any questions. Was told that an offer could take just as long as the interview process did and not to give up.
Interview Questions
- What would you do if you overheard co-workers talking about the new person (or another employee) in the bathroom or breakroom? Answer Question
- What would you do if you saw an employee posting a threatening notice on a bulletin board? Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at FAA (Washington, DC) in January 2011.
Asked several questions and role playing with manager. I thought that they were we prepared for the entire process. The entire process was thoughtful and informative along with positive. They did a great job in screening and asking the right questions.
Interview Questions
- What would you do to increase efficiency 1 Answer
- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FAA (Washington, DC) in July 2009.
Applied for various Computer Specialist and Scientist jobs via ASAP system. Called in for in-person interview; no phone screening. The first date was inconvenient for me; they rescheduled with no complaint. When they asked me for a further delay, I agreed. The interview started promptly and went smoothly. There was a panel of three interviewers from 3 functional areas. Each had a set of questions. Some were about my experiences, some were sort of hypothetical design questions, some were about credentials (e.g in project management). I felt that my resume and KSA responses had distinguished me from the competition, and that I was being judged on more personal issues (how to fit in, etc.). Several questions were about how to handle difficult workplace scenarios. The interviewers were polite and helpful. AT the end, when they asked "Do you have any questions?" they seemed genuinely interested in responding. I was favorably impressed with the professional attitudes displayed.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at FAA (Washington, DC) in May 2009.
Not too stressful. Very low key. Interviewing was more about what the job entails than trying to eliminate me as a candidate. FAA is very political so its more about who you know, than what you know. My masters degree was rendered useless..HA. Oh well.

Remembering 1969's Hurricane Camille
Pete Wentzell was 10 years old. He lived in Biloxi, in a one story ranch home directly across Highway 90 from the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. His memories are of an idyllic childhood on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, until August 17, 1969. He remembers the sugar cane that grew right outside their kitchen window. The beach was taken for granted. Summer meant beat up tennis shoes and cutoff shorts, crabbing in the warm Gulf waters at low tide with a kerosene lantern and a gig for any unsuspecting flounder he might find. He could bicycle anyplace he wanted. He had a secret hiding place in a grove of sugar cane.
Pete remembers waking up at 3 a.m. on Sunday, August 17, 1969. Something was eerily wrong in those early pre-dawn hours. He didn't know what it was, but it terrified him. He could smell coffee. His dad was in the living room in front of the family's Curtis Mathes console stereo listening to the radio, plotting latitude and longitude coordinates on a hurricane tracking chart. The windows had been boarded up during while Pete slept.
His father had been a military weather forecaster during World War II in Europe. The newscaster's tone was serious as he reported that the National Hurricane Center Director Robert Simpson was saying that Camille was going to be an unprecedented storm.
Pete's father told the youngster that the family was going to evacuate their home. Evacuate! That had never happened before. There had been other hurricanes, like 1965's Hurricane Betsy.
Pete was told to pack clothes in a suitcase. Clothes for summer, fall, and winter. Being an avid fan of toy cars, Pete chose to use his luggage space for his prized Matchbox City. Of course, he failed inspection later, and the toys were replaced with the clothes. He was not worried. They would be back tomorrow. Everything would be okay.
Pete's dad was like many grownups along the Mississippi coast early on that Sunday morning, August 17, 1969. They had their tracking charts, some of them magnetic, some paper. This hurricane was not turning northward toward Northwest Florida…it was still moving northwest.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center and at the Weather Bureau Hurricane Warning Office in New Orleans were coming to the realization that the northward turn was not materializing. This storm was threatening areas west of the hurricane warning. The 5 a.m. CDT advisory was radically different…
Of course, Camille was drawing a bead on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. A total of 143 people died on the coast, and 27 were never found.
A Critical Mission
On this date in 1969, National Hurricane Center Director Bob Simpson knew that he had a big problem. There was a hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico, some 360 miles south of Panama City, Florida. It was moving slowly toward the north northwest on an inevitable collision course with the northern Gulf Coast.
The Weather Bureau's main computer model, the primitive statistical/dynamic NHC-67, showed that Camille was going to turn north and then northeast and impact the coast near Fort Walton Beach. But in addition to the worrisome track forecast, Simpson was concerned that Camille had grown into a monster hurricane. He just had no idea how strong it was.
The Navy was responsible for flying reconnaissance missions over the Gulf then and most of their planes were tasked to seed Hurricane Debbie in the Atlantic as part of Project Stormfury. The two remaining old planes left in Jacksonville were unable to fly into a strong hurricane. They were sending back radar triangulations of the center from the radar's on the Connies that they were flying and dropping dropsondes well away from the center. That Saturday morning, the dropsonde released 40 miles from the center recorded a pressure of 996 millibars.
Satellite photos showed that the storm was getting better organized, but the imagery was rudimentary compared to what we have today. Forecasters had estimated that winds had increased to 115 mph. Simpson feared they were much higher.
Simpson asked the Air Weather Service in Illinois to send an Air Force C-130 into the storm that afternoon and they found the central pressure had rapidly dropped to 908 mb, very nearly the record for the western Hemisphere. This is the transcribed report from the plane, written by Dr. Simpson himself.
On the next advisory, the winds were increased to 150 mph. The mission allowed forecasters to highlight the extreme threat that Camille presented to the Gulf Coast.
Camille would go on to devastate the Mississippi Gulf Coast on the evening of August 17th, forever changing the landscape and history of the area.
On This Date in 1980: Heat Wave in Alabama
Headlines on Saturday, July 12, 1980 focused on the Iranian hostage crisis, which was in its 292nd day, The GOP was putting the finishing touches on its platform prior to their national convention in Detroit. There were fears that Mt. Hood in Oregon was getting ready to erupt, a la Mount St. Helens, since quakes had been shaking the area. A hijacker in Seattle had been given $100,000 and a parachute as he seemed destined to be the next D.B. Cooper. The economy was in the tank, with talk that the extended recession was comparable to the Great Depression in many ways.
But the big news across the southern United States was the heat. Birmingham was in the middle of a thirteen day heat wave, with temperatures 90F or higher for those thirteen days. The mercury reached at least 100F on eight consecutive days. The high temperature at the Birmingham Airport topped out at 104F on that Saturday, the hottest it had been so far in the hot spell. The next day would see 106F, the hottest of the heat wave.
Air conditioning repair companies were doing a land office business. Bank managers resorted to putting blocks of ice in front of electric fans to "cool off the girls" in the drive-thrus. The local Coca-Cola bottler reported that soft drink sales were up 35 percent. The weather page in the Birmingham News wistfully noted that it was midwinter in Australia.
The toll was beginning to rise across Alabama. At least four deaths had been reported so far. Before it was over, at least 120 Alabamians lost their lives to heat related illnesses. 200,000 chickens also succumbed to the extreme heat.
The June-September 1980 Heat Wave is the first billion dollar weather-related disaster in U.S. history. Damage to agriculture and related industries was estimated at $20 billion. The sweltering weather claimed the lives of over 10,000 Americans.
The Deadly Barneveld Tornado
On the morning of Thursday, June 7, 1984, weather maps showed a major trough of low pressure across the western United States, anchored by an upper low over the northern Rockies. A long cold front snaked from Canada down through the Upper Midwest into the Plains. An occluded low pressure system was over southern Canada. A new low pressure system had formed to the south and was moving northeast off the plains of eastern Colorado. A strong complex of thunderstorms had moved through the Upper Midwest during the early morning hours, but across the region, the atmosphere reloaded quickly. Dewpoints were in the middle and upper 60s
By afternoon, an explosive situation was in place with high instabilities and increasing wind shear as the low pressure system intensified while moving toward the Upper Midwest. Thunderstorms broke out during the afternoon from Minnesota into Iowa. Tornado reports started to come in by mid-afternoon, where a rash of at least fourteen tornadoes plagued the northwestern part of the state.
Further south, other tornadoes touched down in Missouri. One family of tornadoes started near the Missouri/Iowa border. This supercell storm produced at least four tornadoes along a 140 mile path across much of Iowa. Three tornadoes were rated as F3s and one was rated F4 out of the afternoon activity. The F4 tore through the town of Wright, Iowa, killing two. The tiny town was completely leveled, with all 25 homes destroyed and all but two buildings destroyed. In addition, one person died near Ringgold, Iowa and three more in Harrison County, Missouri.
But the deadliest tornado of the outbreak would come during the early morning hours of June 8th. The complex of storms that had produced the long-track tornadoes in Iowa weakened during the evening hours. But as it moved toward southwestern Wisconsin, it encountered a higher level of instability and shear and the storms began to strengthen. A tornado watch was issued at 11 p.m. The first tornado touched down around 12:30 a.m., remaining on the ground for several minutes. A more powerful tornado touched down near Mineral Point. A few miles to the northeast, many of the 582 residents in the town of Barneveld were awakened by a massive clap of thunder right before the power went out. The town's tornado sirens remained silent due to the power outage even as the huge F5 tornado roared toward Barneveld.
As the tornado ripped through Barneveld, it was at least 400 yards wide. When it finished its destructive rampage, 90% of the town lay in ruins. Seventeen of eighteen businesses were destroyed, as well as the municipal building, bank, post office, fire station and three churches. A total of 93 homes were destroyed and another 64 heavily damaged.
A total of nine people lost their lives in the inky blackness that night, while 200 were injured. The town's water tower was damaged, but was the only thing left standing amidst the tremendous devastation.
For years, residents of the tiny town spent many a sleepless night listening to every rustle of the wind for the sound of another deadly nighttime visitor.
Forecast for D-Day
As German soldiers peered out from their bunkers along the French coast on the morning of June 5, 1944, they knew there was no way that the long awaited invasion by the Allies was coming that day. High winds, heavy rains and huge waves were pounding the beaches all along the English Channel that day. June 5th had been the day that the invasion was scheduled to launch. But Allied weather forecasters had accurately predicted the terrible weather that occurred. If June 5th had been D-Day, the results would have been terrible.
So the forecast had been accurate, staving off a disaster, but Allied commanders were nervous. The landings depended on a complex set of factors, including tides and moonlight and other things. The early June window for invasion was about to close and would not reopen for two weeks. The element of surprise was a huge factor, and waiting an two additional weeks would reduce the Allies chance of success. So as you can see, weather was critical in the decision making process.
In April 1944, a joint Allied team of British and American forecasters had been established to create five day forecasts for commanders. A five day forecast was something that was unheard of at that time. Their first job was to pick a time that climatologically would be favorable for the invasion. They chose early June. June 5th would be the day. But weather maps on June 3rd and 4th showed a depressing situation for forecasters and military leaders. Several low pressure systems were poised to move across the invasion area over the next several days.
Allied forecasters had an advantage since their forces controlled most of the North Atlantic and weather data was more plentiful to them than to the Germans. This data revealed a small window of better weather that would occur on Tuesday, June 6th as a small ridge moved over the area between two low pressure troughs. The decision was made to go then.
Allied Forces landed on the beaches of Normandy on the morning of June 6th, 1944,, opening the long-awaited second front against the Germans and spelling the beginning of the end of World War II. The Germans were completely caught by surprise. Their military leaders believed that the Allies would wait until there six good days of weather before crossing the channel. At the end of the first day, the Allies had suffered 12,000 casualties. Commanders had expected as many as 75,000.
Weather forecasting had played an important role in the success of the operation, but a closer look reveals that the German forecast was actually better than the Allied forecast. The German predictions were actually closer to the actual wave heights, which were critical to the success of conveying men and materiel to the beaches on landing craft. The German forecast led them to them being relatively unprepared with their commander Irwin Rommel away from the field. The wave heights were actually above the critical threshold set by the Allies for invasion. If their forecast had been more correct, they might not have made the fortuitous decision to launch on June 6th.
It really makes you stop to consider the relationship between accuracy and value in a forecast and how it is interpreted by its end users. Dr. Harold Brooks eloquently discussed this in episode 322 of WeatherBrains on June 4, 2012. Listen to the podcast.
A final note: if the invasion had not occurred on the 6th, the next window of opportunity standpoint would have been the 17th through the 21st. A storm of historic proportions during that time could have proven disastrous for the invading forces.
June 5, 1976: The Teton Dam Collapse
The 305 foot tall Teton Dam designed to provide tremendous benefit to the farmers and residents of the Snake River area of Idaho. Built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, it was supposed to eliminate the threat of spring floaods and provide year-round water for irrigation.
The earthen dam had just been completed in June of 1976, and men and equipment were still on-site. But the dam was defective.
Runoff from heavy snows during the winter had filled the reservoir behind the dam to capacity. Water began leaking from the dam on June 3rd, but there seemed to be no cause for alarm.
By 9:30 a.m. on Saturday morning June 5th, new leaks were spotted and bulldozers were used to try and shore up the dam. By 10:30 a.m., warnings were frantic as officials warned residents below the dam that it was about to break. Around 11 a.m., a whirlpool appeared as water was pouring through the earthen dam. The hole in the dam enlarged to 25 feet in diameter, nearly swallowing a bulldozer working to plug the hole. Shortly after that, the western side of the dam seemed to crumble.
Over 180 billion gallons of water were soon pouring down the Teton River Canyon. The towns of Wilford, Sugar City and Rexburg were inundated. Damages totaled $400 million. Eleven people lost their lives along with 13,000 head of cattle.
Had the disaster occurred during the nighttime hours, the death toll would likely have been in the thousands as sleeping residents would not have had time to hear the warnings to evacuate.

My Perl script runs an external program (which takes a single command-line parameter) and processes its output. Originally, I was doing this:
my @result = `prog arg`;
However, turns out that the program is buggy and hangs unpredictably in rare cases. How can I kill the program if it hasn't exited after a certain amount of time? The script has to work both in Windows and in Linux, and it is my understanding that alarms and forks don't work well (or at all) in Windows.
I found a module called IPC::Run but I can't figure out how to use it properly from its documentation. :-( I tried this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use IPC::Run qw(run timeout);
my $in;
my $out;
my $err;
my @result;
my @cmd = qw(prog arg);
run \@cmd, \$in, \$out, \$err, timeout (10) or die "@cmd: $?";
push @result, $_ while (<$out>);
close $out;
print @result;
As a test, I created a program that just sleeps 60 seconds, prints a string to
stdout and exits. When I try to run it with the above code, it hangs for 60 seconds (instead of for 10 seconds, as specified in the timeout) and aborts with a bizarre error:
IPC::Run: timeout on timer #1 at C:/Bin/Unix/Perl/site/lib/IPC/Run.pm line 2956
Then I found another module, Proc::Reliable. From the description, it seems to do precisely what I want. Except that it doesn't work! I tried this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Proc::Reliable;
my $proc = Proc::Reliable->new ();
$proc->maxtime (10);
my $out = $proc->run ("prog arg");
print "$out\n";
It indeed aborts the child process after 10 seconds. So far, so good. But then I modified the external program and made it sleep for only 5 seconds. This means that the program should finish before the 10-second timeout specified in the above code and its
stdout output should be captured into the variable
$out. But it isn't! The above script doesn't output anything.
Any ideas how to do it properly? (Fixing the buggy external program is not an option.) Thanks in advance.

reminds me of the writer of amazing grace, I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see. but the writer of the hymn was now physically blind, when he had sight, he had been working in the slavery business.
and its a great reminder to us, we live in a dark world and we hear the voice of the shepherd and follow, or as Paul says in Romans that we see dimly, and I add, we still are obedient (that is at least the goal!)
However, if one were to study Anabaptists, the first Baptists, some were way off, others were remnant believers who took up persecution rather than compromise their testimony and to receive believer's baptism.
scofield has essentially re-Romanized what came OUT of Rome during the reformation.
scofieldism is ecumenical, and in fact many believe that the ideas were designed by a Jesuit. Whatever it is, by not knowing or understand the Kingdom of God, many number among them that never counted the cost. I know many among them who just don't know better, the best antidote is reading the bible without Jesuit commentators.
Here's a huge listout for those who want to research this:

good try bud.

interesting to read the comments to the article and how the collegen/gelatin has helped with arthritis, decreased aging features on their faces, etc...
while others turn to facial products to make up for the losses...
Confirmed: Skin cream contains fetal proteins, Company's antiaging products built on cells harvested from aborted baby
we cannot escape God's humble means of providing for health. as the abortionist I talked with said, they'd be moved to the cities, on gm's which would make them chronically ill and then constantly on drugs to mediate. if there's any confusion on this, see popes visit and agenda 2030.

Christopher, I also pray for continued healing in the Lord for you and your family.
its one thing to hybridize plants, but this is taking dna in a lab and cutting and splicing God's design, inserting what was never to be there before, mixing kind
what our corn and soy products are now, and the rats get tumors, look at the effects of the plant producing glyphophates and how it stops the enzymatic process of weeds, what does it do to the human body? kidney damage?
look at the genetically modified goats! they spliced silk worm dna into the dna of a goat so that when you milk the goat, you can extract silk from it. the animals die young and its a wasteful process.
then look at how we make it sooo difficult for a farmer to raise a natural sheep to naturally grow wool and to sell that healthy product to humans.
its utter madness, and supposed Christians won't touch the topic as if its sacred science. we are literally forsaking God's Providence in nature for a mark of the beast system of butchery of God's seed. This is so universal now, it applies to so much, the abortions, the shots, the destruction of the small farmer trying to trade is goods, the sodomy movement. this is an endtime philosophy, and evangelicals are absorbed right in it.
So yes, we have a responsibility in this. "Train up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it"
and we have a responsibility to call out their fraudulent scientific theories, they are an affront to human dignity and to Creator God, besides being utter foolishness, and a responsibility to show the harm it causes, as Christ said that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves.
reading about mendel. through the church (I'm assuming he had a creationist understanding of the world), he experimented with peas to see what traits would be produced. he discovered the dominant/recessive traits. He presented this to a group of academics who basically fell asleep.
this was the same era as Darwin, darwins antiGod, racist theories took storm.
here were two men in the same era, it was the creationist who understood the passing on of traits.
they should've listened to mendel instead of Darwin, instead we got the chemical model, Pasteur discovered germs only for the sake of killing them (not knowing our bodies are made up of more bacterium than our own cells, and that we depend on them for our immune system, digestion and health)
then you've got the marketing aspect. it is easy to acquire chemicals and sell them for millions. it takes a decentralized economy of fathers and mothers and God-fearing individuals to create from the earth health and community.
so science is a big fraud in many aspects.
Darwin should get the Darwin award!
For instance, I am reading, the cornerstone of Zion is Christ and those who believe in Christ are the living stones. This is explained in 1 Peter 2. So if he wants to see Zion in action, he might join some Redeemed Jews and Gentiles in their worship of the Cornerstone.
Or perhaps they might read to him verse 9, and there he will find out who the holy nation is.
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
Here's hoping that the called out ones don't stumble over the stumblers, and reserve their allegiance to their King.
Christ, "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature" Col 1:15
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Col 2:9
And believers are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Looks like the temple is built in the redeemed man and God's purposes are completed in the proclamation of the gospel.
they're looking in the wrong place for it, all those false religions like the one Jim is in.
the fulfillment has come with the Messiah and He returns to judge the living and the dead.
Seems many are prepped for end time deceptions. If they are looking for politicians to fulfill Messianic Kingdoms for them, they will be fooled.

Someone doesn't want to learn at school.
Since they're posting here all the time.
And not learning shit.
It is you.
And you're being a cocky fnotkot4bt.
Does it look like I care?
School is for LEARNING, NOT FORUMS.
It's called HOMEWORK or STUDYING or TALKING TO FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE.
Je bull.
I just want to be Top Poster one more time, and then I'll stop trying to be Top Poster. This will be my sixth thread, so I just want the title one more time.
Who knows?
