As god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Be Not Afraid.
I saw that episode at the time it was aired. Was really funny, especially the news guy's (forget his name) reporting live on what was happening.
Actually Mr. Carlson ...
Wild turkeys can fly, we have them up here in the mountains ... the others, not so much! ...
Happy Thanksgiving to you JB and everyone who celebrates it! Believe it or not, we still have plenty to give thanks for.PROUD DEPLORABLE

A Thanksgiving Message to All 57 States
Thursday, November 25, 2010
by Sarah Palin
My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI's 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. And let's face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don't know what the term is in Austrian for that…
Of course, the paragraph above is based on a series of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama (I didn't have enough time to do one for Joe Biden). YouTube links are provided just in case you doubt the accuracy of these all too human slips-of-the-tongue. If you can't remember hearing about them, that's because for the most part the media didn't consider them newsworthy. I have no complaint about that. Everybody makes the occasional verbal gaffe – even news anchors. >>>
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
- Sarah Palin
I had no idea that our Constitution was written 20 centuries ago. Or that Europe is a State. And who knew that Austrians speak 'Austrian'? I suppose that I should be more diligent with my breathalyzer .. err inhalator or whatever it is.
Liberalism is just communism sold by the drink.

Turkey was great and so was everything else, no one mentioned politics this year I'm thankful for that.

'The Bachelorette': Chris Harrison blogs the season premiere | PopWatch | EW.com
Chris Harrison blogs 'The Bachelorette' season premiere
by Chris Harrison
It feels like its been a while, so Im excited to say Welcome to a new season of The Bachelorette. As you will see in so many ways over the course of this season, this Bachelorette is unlike any you have ever seen before. This goes for both the season and the woman. First of all, we kicked things off in Charlotte, North Carolina, which of course is Emilys hometown. At first I wasnt sure I loved the idea of leaving the traditional Bachelor Pad in Los Angeles. Its become such a recognizable starting point and a big part of our show the last several years. But the moment we rolled into Charlotte I quickly realized it was the best way to start Emilys season.
Emily is so unlike any other Bachelorette weve ever had so we really needed to think outside the box to make the show look and feel as special as she is. For me, the best part about shooting in Charlotte was the way we were received by the hometown crowd. The people of Charlotte welcomed us with open arms, and I cant thank them enough for the hospitality. Not only did we shoot in Emilys hometown, but for the first time ever, she actually got to live at home. This not only allowed her to keep being the fantastic mother she is to her daughter Ricki, but also allowed her to relax and enjoy a new kind of home-court advantage.
When Emily arrived to talk to me that first night, you could sense she was loose, relaxed and ready to talk. I really enjoyed our chat. What really struck me was how much she opened up to me and how vulnerable she was. She is ready to let go of some of the control in her life. Shes been through so much and has had to do so much to carry the load for her and her daughter. Shes looking for a partner to help ease some of that burden and add a new sense of excitement and adventure in her life.
We were hoping to keep the location we were shooting at slightly under wraps, but that went out the window right away as the local news station showed exactly where it was with their helicopter live on the newscast. Luckily it was a pretty secure location in a gated community, but that didnt stop some fifty to sixty fans from trying to sneak on the property to catch a glimpse of the action.
As Emily and I walked down the hall to welcome the guys, the weight of the situation and the pressure suddenly hit her. She tensed up, had trouble breathing and was incredibly nervous. But that was nothing compared to how nervous the guys were to meet her. Lets talk about some of the high and not-so-high points during the arrivals. Jef channeled his inner Michael J. Fox from Back to the Future (if you have no idea who or what that is: look it up, kids) with the skateboard behind the limo. I was a little worried as the limo pulled down the driveway a little faster than any of us expected. Tony took a huge chance with the Prince Charming bit, but he pulled it off. I have to give Randy props for watching our show and going with the grandma gag. Emily thought that was pretty funny, as did the rest of us. I have some advice for John and all other men out there: the moment you meet a beautiful woman and youre desperately trying to make a good first impression dont tell her your nickname, especially if its Wolf!
Travis showed up with an ostrich egg. Thats really all I have to say Travis showed up with an ostrich egg. Good news for him is hes a good guy with a great sense of humor, and the other guys really like him as well, because that couldve gotten ugly well uglier. The big controversy during the arrivals was Kalon flying in on the chopper. To be honest it was kind of a small, janky little helicopter as far as Bachelor standards are concerned. Kalon not only rolled in on the chopper he also rolled in with the big attitude that immediately turned the guys off and put a big target on his back. This will continue as we move forward.
Speaking of moving forward, as you saw at the end of the show, this season is going to be incredible. Emily has a really good group of guys here and they will do anything to fight for her and rise to this occasion. From the Muppets next week to Dolly Parton later this season, from the beaches of Bermuda to the Tower of London and beyond, you are all in for an incredible ride, and so is Emily. Youll see theres so much more to Emily than you knew before, and I mean that as an extreme compliment. She has no problem handling her business when its called for, and if these guys think for one minute that Emily is going to be a sweet little Southern push over well, they can take a moment and say their goodbyes. Ill see you next week from the balcony, when I fill one of the greatest roles of my life!

...Image Color Management Library
ISS X-Force Team Currently Tracking Exploitation of Image Rendering Vulnerabilities, Anticipates Spike in Attacks
London, UK, 13 July, 2005 - Internet Security Systems (ISS) (NASDAQ: ISSX) today announced the company has provided preemptive protection for a critical vulnerability in Microsoft's Image Colour Management (ICM) library. This vulnerability is an exploitable threat through which attackers may compromise networks and systems, potentially leading to data theft, productivity loss or further penetration of a network. ICM is widely used in a variety of Windows applications including Microsoft Word.
ISS X-Force has been actively tracking the wide exploitation of previously disclosed vulnerabilities in image rendering and warns that this issue could follow a similar pattern if networks and machines are not adequately protected.
Business Impact
An attacker leveraging this vulnerability would be able to gain a variety of privileges, up to and including full administrative control over the target machine. According to X-Force, minimal user interaction is required for an attacker to leverage this vulnerability to compromise a network, and many Windows installations are vulnerable in their default configurations. In order to exploit this flaw, a user would have to be induced to view or render a maliciously crafted image. The image could be supplied in many different ways, including via an email or Web site.
Affected Infrastructure
The Microsoft ICM library is used to obtain predictable colors from one device to another, and is used in conjunction with several image formats including JPEG images. By creating a maliciously crafted image, an attacker is able to trigger a stack overflow within the component rendering the image, enabling an attacker to compromise the target machine.
Available Protection
ISS Proventia host-based products and Managed Security Services are currently providing customers protection from this vulnerability. Organizations not currently protected by ISS solutions or services should review the security advisory available from Microsoft at: www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx
The full ISS X-Force Alert on this vulnerability can be found at: xforce.iss.net/xforce/alerts/id/199

Maybe we could petition the DNR or DEQ to allow an open season on them.
Between some time in September when small game season starts and before the beginning of deer season.
We should take steps now to keep their numbers manageable before we start seeing them dead at the side of the road like racoons, possums and other furry rodent like creatures.

San Diego Gets a Boost from Earmarks
Thursday, March 5, 2009
Aired 4/20/09
Republicans and Democrats are both pledging to put the federal government on a diet to cut the deficit. But when it comes to pork, they have the same big appetite. This year's first budget bill in Congress comes with $140 million for San Diego. As Sara Sciammacco reports, California lawmakers proudly stand by their earmarks.
Thanks to Representative Susan Davis - Congress included half a million dollars for San Diego buses and three hundred thousand dollars for Asian youth mentoring. Critics say earmarks are wasteful and want them out of the bill.
Senator Diane Feinstein - who got $20 million for the mid-city rapid transit - says they must stay.
"It is important that California get back services for the taxes it pays highway services, healthcare services, education, infrastructure and we are a long way in getting back what we pay in taxes," she says.
Congressmen Brian Bilbray, Duncan Hunter and Darrell Issa all helped to get more than $1 million to improve law enforcement communications. In all, earmarks account for less than two percent of the total budget.

Macro help - carrion swarm
Post Reply
Return to board index
Post by
I'm looking to create an interrupt macro using carrion swarm.
I'd like to be able to cast it to do the following:
if NOT IN metamorphosis then: activate meta, cast carrion swarm
if ALREADY IN meta: cast carrion swarm
if ALREADY IN dark apoth: cast carrion swarm
thanks for the help!
Post by
Unless the macro system has changed since I last knew about it, conditionals aren't possible. The best you can do is:
/cast Meta
/cast Carrion Swarm
Though I suspect that may shift you out of meta, depending on how the shift toggle works.
Post by
#showtooltip Carrion Swarm
/cast !Metamorphosis
/cast Carrion Swarm
This macro won't cancel Meta if you like to spam your buttons or already are in Meta.
Post by
When macro'd together, you shift into meta and then receive the error message "requires meta" - it seems as though they are both off the GCD, a macro casting them together still doesn't work.
Post by
Yeah, Dark apoth doesn't have it's own stance number so macros cannot distinguish between DA and caster forms.

Jennifer Hudson + Ne-Yo Explain How to 'Think Like a Man' on 'American Idol'
The Dream Girl herself, Jennifer Hudson, went back to her 'American Idol' roots tonight. The former contestant, who Ryan Seacrest noted as the only member of the 'Idol' family to have won both a Grammy and an Academy Award, took to the 'Idol' stage tonight for a performance of 'Think Like a Man' with R&B singer Ne-Yo.
Entering in classy black attire, accented by black-clad backup dancers a la Janet Jackson, with a hairstyle and moves that would make Janelle Monae jealous, Hudson performed her hit song 'Think Like a Man' — the track is from the movie of the same name, which stars Chris Brown and Gabrielle Union. Crooner Ne-Yo joined her for a verse, sporting a black fedora and a tasteful mustache, and their voices went together like peanut butter and jelly. Sadly, Rick Ross, who is also featured on the song, was nowhere to be found.
Together, the soulful duo took us all out by engaging the crowd; They took to the front of the stage and touched the hands of some of their most adoring fans. Afterward, Ryan Seacrest and Hudson reconnected briefly. Jennifer said that she absolutely loved collaborating with Ne-Yo, and really, who wouldn't? They sounded perfect together, and we hope it's only a matter of time before they take the stage together again.

Frank Marko named AMC Baseball Player of the Week (April 25-May 1)
May 9, 2011
PITTSBURGH -- Point Park University senior third baseman Frank Marko was named the AMC Baseball Player of the Week for games played during the final week of the regular season April 25-May 1. This announcement from the AMC came late last week on May 6.
Marko had a career year as a senior, and he finished the season in strong fashion. Marko batted .571 (8 for 14) the last week of the regular season, which helped Point Park finish strong and earn the #1 seed in the AMC Baseball Tournament.
Marko ended the year hitting safely in nine of his final 10 games. During that span, he hit .484 (15 for 31) with eight of his career-high 21 RBIs. That tear raised Marko's season average to a career-best .333.
For the week that he was honored with the AMC Player of the Week award, Marko had two or more hits in three of the five games he played that week. He was 3 for 3 with an RBI versus Cedarville April 29 in a victory that guaranteed the Pioneers their first playoff berth since 2004.
The next day, he was 2 for 3 with two RBIs and a double in a key road victory at Cedarville. Although not included in the week of the award, Marko's season-ending tear started April 23 when he was 3 for 3 with three RBIs, two doubles and a sacrifice fly at Notre Dame (OH). That game put Marko into a hot streak and started the Pioneers on their playoff run.
Marko, a native of Robinson Twp., Pa., and a gradaute of Montour High School, was the starting third baseman for the Pioneers this year. For his three-year career, Marko hit .302 with 28 RBIs in 102 career games.

Oil, rain create hazard
ST. MARYS - A leak in a private oil field east of the city Friday left an overwhelming odor in the area and kept emergency crews busy all weekend.
No serious illnesses were reported. However, St. Marys Police dispatchers fielded several calls Friday night and Saturday from residents suffering headaches from a noxious smell.
The oil field, located near state Route 29 and Plattner Pike, is owned by Innex Energy of Plano, Texas. Company CEO Jeri Jay said his consultant is working with EMA officials.
Heavy rains on Sunday hampered clean-up efforts as crude oil from one of three reservoir tanks washed into nearby Carter Creek and the St. Marys River. Booms laid on the waterways for absorption eventually contained the spill after 28 hours, Auglaize County EMA Director Troy Anderson said.
"We worked through the night Friday, all day Saturday and until about 2 p.m. Sunday," he said. "The emergency response work is done; now we're starting the mitigation process to find out what happened."
Innex operates three injection (vertical) wells at the site; oil in each is pumped into reservoir tanks that hold 240 barrels - more than 10,000 gallons - of crude oil. The company reportedly transports the product to a refinery in Canton.
Anderson said he was alerted to the problem after St. Marys Fire Department received a call about 10:30 p.m. from a worker at Setex on McKinley Road.
"When I arrived and smelled the odor, I had no doubt what it was," he said. "I got out and saw crude oil on the ground. There was quite a bit."
Hazardous materials experts from Allied Environmental of Lima used booms and other equipment to remove the oil from the waterways. The surrounding ground was excavated to extract the oil from the soil, Anderson said.
The amount of crude oil that entered the creek and river was undetermined at press time today. Anderson said he is working to determine exactly how much oil leaked out of reservoir tank #2 and why it overflowed. The company's consultant is helping in the investigation, he added.
Anderson said he alerted Ohio EPA, the Division of Wildlife, the National Response Commission and other state agencies involved in environmental safety. All will be entitled to compensation for their time on the project, he said.
"It's going to be expensive," he said.
Anderson said it is too early in the investigation to estimate the cost of the oil leak, who is responsible for clean-up expenses and if a fine will be levied against the company.

I could track him down. Or you could get him picked up and brought back.

PK... Old image. (I need to make more)
I was going to used "horseshit" to name your skin, but I think the above is just fine
inb4 minimole rates me funny because he's too stupid to stick up for himself.
Read below.
Poor Minimole
That's not nice.
Hey man, it ain't cool makin' fun of good people
i don't make fun of your personality defect and addiction to play dress up
As far as I see it, it's justifiable.
Funny because you're describing Mini there.
minimole, not minilandstand
At least he doesn't steal clothes from the cool kids
At least I admitted to it and actually grew the fuck up.
Call this immature as you want, but I personally find my comic justifiable.
+ editing my facemap and releasing without consent, I think you'd be pissed if it was your skin.
I don't see anybody else using an Ellis skin
No, I meant, if someone took your Argonian/Isaac, whichever you're using, and reskinned it, even as a joke then RE-released it without your consent, checking if it was okay to do so, I think you might be annoyed, even the slightest bit.
No, not really.
His comic was a joke, yours is just rude
Besides, I really wouldn't give two fucks if somebody re-skinned my Issac skin. It's not like I ever use him.
Although this will sound self-contradictive, I am sorry to Minimole for shedding bad light over myself and him in such a manner, I also wish to take the apology further and say sorry to the thread. It was wrong for me to do a comic like that, and I will not be using that as his skin. His skin as been fully returned to it's original state, I was just annoyed and caught up in the moment when I saw Minimole had released my skin. Although I am sorry, I do believe that, if it was a joke, which evidence points towards, I do feel Minimole didn't have to release it without my consent. I'd appreciate it if you took the link to the reskin down.
I would've had no problem if you Pm'd me or Steam messaged me about it, I would've told you "Yes, but please don't release it" I have no problem with the images, admittedly they were funny to me, however, I didn't like the fact that you re-released my facemap without my permission.
My skin is falling off.
Bad sunburn?
You could say that: http://gametechmods.com/uploads/imag...6ohgodhelp.jpg
one time i got sunburn and out of curiosity ate a bit of the skin
then i realised how weird i was being and just cringed
Dukov is becoming a lizard.
Just what we need, more argonians.
Funny thing is. Sunburns don't hurt me. So I never bother putting on sunblock.
Well you know what we gingers are like...
(if you don't, Shame on you!)
Poor Korro.
Also Jacknife, I'm the one who let MiniMole use your facemap.
You skinned it, yes but you skinned it for me. for my perskin.
He skinned it, therefore it belongs to him, he can do whatever he wants with it.
Just like my skin belongs entirely to Rusty, if he wanted to give the facemap to someone else, he has every right to do so, since I do not own it.
Can we just take all this and put it in a pm or something
You didn't create it, so it's not really yours to decide who uses it or not.
Where did I say I created it?
You didn't, i'm just saying.
If you had made it, then yeah, you could dictate who can use it and be rightfully pissed if someone used it without asking.
You didn't, but you're acting like you own the facemap. Which you don't
I know, as said, some opinions can be delusioned by emotions, me seeing my old facemap with a pony on it like that just shocked me, chain reactions occur, then bam it ended up in this.
Being the person who bought this all up, I'd like to end it, I hope Minimole can forgive me after reading my apology, if not then i appreciate it, nevertheless.
I believe my facemap was made by Rusty too.
My first skin was made by rusty.
My current one was by the great MLC.
far out, man
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck, all my Mass Effect careers were lost.
I have six days to make the most amazing Shepard ever, which entails playing through both games at least twice with most if not all bonus missions.
woah what the fuck happened?!
We stood up for you minimole
It's a miracle, isn't it?
Jacknife got all upset that you used his facemap like you said he would.
Also Bubz, it says you are offline even though you sent me a msg... god damn Steam messing up again.
Nothing new there. Again.

Yankees lose Jeter; Game One of ALCS
NEW YORK — The New York Yankees lost the AL championship series opener and their captain when Derek Jeter broke his left ankle moments after Detroit's Delmon Young doubled home the go-ahead run in the 12th inning, giving the Tigers a 6-4 win Saturday night.
In a game of wild swings and wild swings of emotion, the Tigers took a 4-0 lead into the ninth before Raul Ibanez struck again, hitting a tying, two-run homer with two outs that turned a somber crowd into a delirious one.
And then came a little grounder up the middle that devastated the Yankees and their fans, who saw their leader writhing on the ground, screaming in pain.
Jeter rolled when he dove in an attempt to glove Jhonny Peralta's grounder up the middle in the 12th. Unable to move, he flipped the ball toward the mound. His leg was dangling as he was assisted to the dugout by manager Joe Girardi and trainer Steve Donahue.
"They talked about a three-month recovery period," Girardi said. "Won't jeopardize his career, but he will not be playing any more for us this year."
Jeter, who extended his career record earlier in the game with his 200th postseason hit, has been playing with a sore left foot for weeks. He joined closer Mariano Rivera on the sidelines. Rivera tore a knee ligament in May while shagging fly balls before a game in Kansas City.
"It is kind of a flashback to when Mo didn't get up," Girardi said. "Oh, boy, if he is not getting up, something's wrong. We have seen what he played through in the last month and a half, and the pain he has been in, and how he found a way to get (through) it. So it brought back a flashback for me."
Detroit was coasting toward a 4-0 win before the Yankees rocked Tigers closer Jose Valverde in the ninth.
Ichiro Suzuki started the comeback with a two-run homer with one out, and the 40-year-old Ibanez hit another two-run drive with two outs. Three nights earlier, Ibanez hit a tying home run in the ninth against Baltimore in Game 3 of the division series and another homer in the 12th to win it.
Young's one-out double off David Phelps, which followed a leadoff walk by Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, sliced in right and eluded Nick Swisher, who appeared ready to dive but couldn't get his glove out when he realized the ball was closer to him than he had thought.
Young drove in three runs, hitting an RBI single in a two-run sixth against Andy Pettitte, and a solo homer in the eighth against Derek Lowe.
Tigers rookie Avisail Garcia singled in a run against Boone Logan, and Andy Dirks added an RBI single in the 12th on a comebacker that glanced off Phelps' pitching hand.
Drew Smyly, who had started warming up in the third when starter Doug Fister took a line drive off his right wrist, got the win by pitching two scoreless innings.
In Game 2 on Sunday, New York will start Hiroki Kuroda, who will be pitching on three days' rest for the first time in his big league career. Detroit will send Anibal Sanchez to the mound.
Twenty-five of 42 previous Game 1 winners have gone on to take the AL pennant.

2012 Vintage & Old-Timer Build-Off- Lancer 72 from Klarich short kit-a continuation.
Thanks Scott.
The original thread, Lancer 72 from Klarich Custom Kits, at this link https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=933032, was started by the Grand Wizard. Rather than add to it, Im starting a new link here. Looking back on this build, I think starting from scratch would have been easier. I would have spaced the ribs a little closer (plans were 3.5 inch) and flared the wing tips upwards. A modern airfoil may have been considered, but that decision is long past. The fuselage formers could have used a few extra with maybe a little lofting to get a nicer curve on the bottom section. An all flying stab might have been better choice Framing is complete. I really messed up on the mold for the FG cowl. Didnt use enough wax and mold release, so a very rough and damaged cowl pull off, but will make it work. In hind sight, a cowl made from balsa blocks would have been a better choice. John |
Lancer cowl
Here is the foam plug that I should have used for the cowl rather than try to make a mold with it.
The foam plug got stuck around the spinner section and would not pull out, so it got broken. This should have told me something---if the foam got stuck, so too will the next copy. John |
Lancer status
The bare bones of the Lancer from last year--have now completed and covered this frame.
I am having second thoughts on the OS .26 for power. It might be ok once air born, but it may not make it off the grass. I'm also looking for a different colour paint scheme that would lend itself to this "1930's racer". A little air brushing so that it stands out from the plastic covering. John |
This is one I've looked at many times, and every time I look at it I like it a little better. I don't have enough experience with Old Timers to know very much about the right engine for this plane or that one, but it does seem to be a lot of airplane for a .26. Shoot, the spinner all by itself is going to be a load!
I'd like to know how she flys. I like the design plenty well enough to build one myself. David |
The OS .26 turns that 10x6 at about 8900 rpm, not too impressive.
My friend Chad ( You Tube- jetwaco) has posted his Lancer here:
He has a .30 FS. John |
For ref my 48 oz Lancer 45 at 60 inch span has a lively performance on an ols OS20 FS. It maintains altitude at 5,300 ROM on a 10x6. I set it at 5,800 for Texaco and it climbs almost out of sight over 9 minutes. I don't know if any of this helps you but gives another reference point I guess. Nice to see the progess finally. |
Thanks Allan for the info. I guess if the OS .20 could fly it, the OS .26 should also be possible. This Lancer is slightly bigger, so Ill weigh it up.
I really like the cowl on the above red Lancer. Thats sort of what I had in mind, but didnt quite get there. Also, the curves around the canopy look better than my straight lines. Heres a current update with my patched up cowl. John |
I am still looking for a suitable colour scheme reminiscent of a 1930's racer. I found this web site that has many different colour schemes for current modern airplanes. It's really hard to pick one, they all seem nice.
Google search, aerobatic airplanes. Click on images. The screen display I came up with and the link I copied and pasted here did not match, so it has been deleted. I had to cut in and add a hatch to get at the engine mount blind nuts since a future change may be needed. The cockpit area needs an instrument panel, so I've borrowed one that Vintage drew up a while back. I'll size it and see how it looks. Has anyone made pilots using front and side pictures to create a 3D picture? |

ever so slowly work continues on the Lancer
I havent forgotten , or stopped work on the Lancer. The stab/elevator, fin and rudder are now fastened to the fuselage. The cockpit area has a borrowed instrument display (vintages). The cowl (FG) has been salvaged. It is still very rough, but will have to do for now. I was a little concerned that the auto body filler would make it too heavy, but it seems that I am still a little tail heavy (present CG coming in at 40~50%). I cant make up my mind on a final paint scheme , so perhaps mostly red over a light dusting of silver dope.

Lancer, what colour?
The Lancer is all covered and doped.
The sheeting (solid areas) now has a coat of silver. What colours? I can leave the silver, but it was intended as a blocking coat only. The covered areas can be left as is or painted. Since the rear is red, I could go red-white-blue. The bottom of the wing will probably get large checker boards. John |
There is some footage of my Lancer at the start fo this video for motovation you understand. Allan (again). |
Allan, thanks for the video. Yes, it does add a little impetus to the build!
Is that the Lancer (video) with the FS- OS.20? If so, it certainly climbs out well. Will it ROG, or is the hand launch always required? I'm still moving forward with the Lancer paint. I left the masking tape on for a couple of days…and I know better! Pulled a little of the dope off! Entire Lancer, less tail, now has a coat of Sig white. Unfortunately I didn't give the covering a talcum filler coat followed by multiple clear coats, so it's going to look a little rough showing the weave in the cloth. (I guess there's a really good reason the plastic film has taken over.) Checking this particular Lancer, it's slightly larger, about 75" wing span, nose moment an inch longer, tail moment a few inches longer. I guess if the old war birds can undergo extensive modifications for the Reno air Races, then an old Lancer can have a few mods as well. |
Lancer, better late than never!
Well I didnt make the dead line. I wanted to fly this Lancer before year end, but just didnt get done. I couldnt decide on a paint scheme (Sig dope) and I didnt want to fly it wet because the final paint wouldnt stick to an oily surface, so I removed the OS FS and got a 700 watt electric. I thought I could fly it electric and meet the dead line, then go back with wet and a final paint scheme.
To get the electric to balance I had to add a 4S Li 5000 ma battery which made up for weight of the OS FS, so the overall wing loading will be very similar with either power plant. Maybe, far into the future, I could use the 7 cc TT diesel as it is also very heavy. ImagesView all Images in thread

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, a surface-mining reclamation inspector has the authority to issue a cessation order for any portion of a surface-mining operation when an inspector determines that any condition or practice exists, or that any permittee is in violation of any requirements of this article or any permit condition required by this article, which condition, practice or violation also creates an imminent danger to the health or safety of the public, or is causing or can reasonably be expected to cause significant, imminent environmental harm to land, air or water resources. The cessation order takes effect immediately. Unless waived in writing, an informal conference shall be held at or near the site relevant to the violation set forth in the cessation order within twenty-four hours after the order becomes effective or such order shall expire. The conference shall be held before a surface-mining reclamation supervisor who shall, immediately upon conclusion of said hearing, determine when and if the operation or portion thereof may resume. Operators who believe they are aggrieved by the decision of the surface-mining reclamation supervisor may immediately appeal to the director, setting forth reasons why the operation should not be halted. The director forthwith shall determine when the operation or portion thereof may be resumed.
(b) The cessation order remains in effect until the director determines that the condition, practice or violation has been abated, or until modified, vacated or released by the director. Where the director finds that the ordered cessation of any portion of a surface coal mining operation will not completely abate the imminent danger to health or safety of the public or the significant imminent environmental harm to land, air or water resources, the director shall, in addition to the cessation order, impose affirmative obligations on the operator requiring the operator to take whatever steps the director determines necessary to abate the imminent danger or the significant environmental harm.
(c) Any cessation order issued pursuant to this section or any other provision of this article may be released by any inspector. An inspector shall be readily available to terminate a cessation order upon abatement of the violation.

Montreal: Romain Grosjean admitted finishing second in Sunday's action-packed Canadian Grand Prix had come as a shock as he did not think a podium finish was possible. Lewis Hamilton wins Canadian Grand Prix (Agencies) Latest news from Sports News Desk
The 26-year-old Lotus driver, who qualified seventh for the race, took full advantage of a one-stop race strategy and gained three places during the final laps and eventually wound up just two-and-a-half seconds adrift of race-winner Lewis Hamilton of McLaren.
The Frenchman was stuck in fifth place before drivers in front of him began to lose grip during the final stages of the race.
German Nico Rosberg of Mercedes and Red Bull driver Mark Webber were forced to pit, Grosjean then eased past Fernando Alonso who was also struggling for pace.
Alosnso said: "We thought about going for one-stop and decided to see what was going on later on.
"The question was whether to go with the option tyres from the beginning, especially since they had already done two runs in Q2 and Q3.
"But then the car felt pretty good and when we put the prime tyre on, I didn't know what was going on in front of me. I had Nico Rosberg and Mark Webber in front, so I was fighting with them and was pushing quite hard, but I knew that I was trying to go for a one stop and finally when I saw Mark coming in my tyres were still quite fresh.
Grosjean admitted he had not felt a top three finish was possible and paid tribute to his team for building a car that was kind to his tyres.
"I didn't realise I was third and then I saw Fernando (Alonso) was slowing down and I was second. So it was like a crazy end to the race, because I was thinking P4 or P5, but the pace stayed there.
"The team did a fantastic job to give me a car which was good on tyres, we knew with the heat we would be better today and thankfully the sun came and that was fantastic for us."

The news regarding Lakers forward Pau Gasol's status was bad but it wasn't altogether good either.
Gasol, who suffered a concussion in the loss against Denver, was examined by Dr. Vern Williams on Thursday and although he has shown improvement, according to the Lakers, he was not cleared to resume basketball activities. He is scheduled to be re-examined Friday morning before the Lakers take on Oklahoma City at Staples Center.
"I continue with the recovery and there's improvement. After today's visit with Dr. Williams, I haven't been cleared yet for physical activity. Tomorrow we'll see how I feel and reevaluate, until then I have to keep resting and being patient. Greetings my friends," Gasol wrote on his Facebook page.
Gasol missed the Lakers (15-20) trip to Houston and San Antonio after having sat out eight games because of tendinitis.
Dwight Howard (shoulder) and Jordan Hill (hip) will miss Friday's game against the Thunder.

The news broke recently that Tokyopop is closing its North American publishing division. Many are wondering what position that leaves the creators under contract with Tokyopop's OEL line, which had already been cancelled by the company before the closure and slew of layoffs last February. I for one, hope that "OEL" dies along with Tokypop.
That's not to say that I don't want to see those creators move forward, gain the rights to their creations back. I'm talking about the term "OEL" itself, not the business of having non-Japanese creators making manga.
I've voiced my dislike for the term OEL and Global Manga before, in a post called "What Is Manga?". Many fans will argue that the term "manga" is simply the Japanese word for comic book, and they're right. But that doesn't mean that there's "no such thing as manga" (and therefore either anything or nothing can be considered manga). Others believe the term should only be used for comics created in Japan; using it for non-Japanese works implies that "manga" is one genre or art style and any manga reader will tell you that there is a diverse range of genres and styles within what is sold as manga. But what, then, do you call comics created outside of Japan aimed towards the market of manga readers? This is how the labels "OEL" and "Global Manga" were born.
As a non-Japanese creator of manga, I can tell you that I feel very uncomfortable with the notion of labeling my work "OEL" or "Global manga". The reason comes down to this; the term "manga" is a useful marketing label. There are people looking to buy comics which fall withing a wide spectrum called manga. What interests them in this spectrum are the different types of stories and the various art styles they find within it. If I want to create a series which will appeal to those readers the best thing I can do to help them find it is to simply call it "manga".
No reader cares about what nationality the creators are as long as the series fits generally withing this spectrum and is, y'know, good. Actually, that's not completely true, and gets to heart of why I hope the habit of labeling non-Japanese manga into a subcategory. The only manga readers who care about whether or not a manga series was created in Japan have a negative association with manga produced outside of Japan—-automatically dismissing it based on the creator's nationality. This makes it a really bad business move to give your product line a label which will only serve to drive certain readers away.
A few years ago, Viz considered publishing content from non-Japanese creators. Not only did they seem to have creator-friendly contracts (no taking ownership like Tokyopop did), but they had a really nice label for this endeavour: their "original content" line. This was a perfectly fine distinction, since Viz deals with licensed manga, but was interested in seeking potential original content to publish. Although they never did, I imagine perhaps this was even just a way to advertise to creators that they were accepting submissions; it's possible that if they had picked up a series that they would simply publish it along with the rest of their manga, making no labeled distinction between licensed manga and original content manga. We can't say for sure, but I think that would be the most logical business move.
I create comics that are most likely to be enjoyed most frequently by people who enjoy reading manga. So calling my comics "manga" helps readers find my work. Distinguishing it from other manga based solely on my nationality will either have no impact or a negative impact on readership, so why bother?
I'll change my mind when there's evidence that large masses of manga fans are looking specifically to read manga created by Canadians

A memoir differs from an autobiography in that it does not cover the writer's entire life, only selected portions. Traditionally, memoirs were written by public figures late in their lives, reflecting on great events in which they had played a part. Thus, politicians and statesmen have been noted memoirists. In a memoir, the focus was usually not on the writer, but on other well-known people the writer had known or encountered.
While there have always been literary memoirs as well as those by statesmen, in the 1990s the nature of the memoir genre began to change. Many of the new memoirs were written by relatively unknown writers with unusual experiences to relate rather than by well-known public figures. Susanna Kaysen's Girl Interrupted (1994), for example, was a bestselling memoir of Kaysen's life in a mental institution. Frequently, the new memoirs were about the author's childhood, with an...

Not really, this patch is for a really specialised case: ensuring that one tty doesn't hog all the CPU(s)..
It does nothing when various applications have the same tty which is the case for all the GUI applications.

text: Next-Gen Prius: 94mpg, 0-60 in Under 10 Seconds?Charlie White4/11/06 10:48amFiled to: GadgetsHybridHybrid VehiclesMpgPrius0EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkThis image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it here. We know those car manufacturers are fast and footloose with MPG figures, but we had to take notice when we got word that the next Toyota Prius will be capable of 113 miles per gallon (in the UK, which is equal to 94mpg in North America). That's more than double the mileage the best hybrid vehicles get now. The Prius's redesigned electrical system will depend even more on the electric motor, using it by itself at slower speeds but kicking in the internal combustion engine when higher speeds are needed. Even with this higher mileage, the car's 0-to-60 time will be faster, reportedly under 10 seconds.AdvertisementThis kind of performance is possible by using the latest lithium-ion batteries which are better in every way than the currently-used nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, being lighter, smaller, longer lasting and able to produce more energy per pound. We just want to know when the next-generation hybrid will be available, and, if this is not just a lot of empty boasting.New Prius to Have 113mpg Target [Jalopnik]


text: What's Your Biggest Boner Killer?Madeleine Davies7/03/13 2:40pmFiled to: boner killerscrushessharing is caring1.2K2EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkCrushes can be so fickle. One day they're there, blazin' away in your heart and in your loins, and the next day they're gone, leaving you with nothing except the question "What was I thinking?" or "Really? Him/her?" Usually, something happens to trigger this mass exodus of feelings, but what that thing is can vary in complexity. Sometimes it can be something as simple and petty as a misplaced comma in a text message. Other times, it can be something serious — maybe you find out they're racist or homophobic or that they own a copy of "The Game" and — worse — reference it. No matter how innocuous or offensive, these are the things that can kill a crush deader than a doornail. AdvertisementMy slow-burning crush on a local barista (because we all have a slow-burning crush on a local barista) was effectively quenched after I overheard him talking about what a great movie KIDS is. Sure, sexually discriminating against someone because of their movie preferences might seem a little harsh, but it is what it is. The fact of the matter is that hearing someone wax poetic on the genius of Harmony Korine can make me go colder than a fish and there's no coming back from it. (And guess what? I'M NOT SORRY.)We've all got our things — our goofy, petty, funny crush or boner killers. I've shared mine and now, for the sake of community and the SAKE OF KINJA , it's time for you to share yours.AdvertisementWhat are your big crush deal breakers?

HRT provides no brain benefits for young menopausal women, new study finds
Taking hormone replacement therapy soon after menopause starts won't protect against memory problems or other signs of cognitive decline that occurs with aging, according to a new analysis of a landmark clinical trial published online Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. It also, though, won't harm brain function in middle-aged women who take hormone therapy to relieve menopausal hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.
That's reassuring news to those seeking menopausal symptom relief from hormone therapy but may also be worried about previous research showing that hormones speed cognitive decline and increase the risk of dementia in elderly women.
Researchers from the Brigham and Women's Hospital and elsewhere relied on data from more than 1300 female participants, ages 50 to 55, who were randomly assigned to take HRT for an average of seven years as part of the Women's Health Initiative clinical trial. Cognitive testing—performed about seven years after the trial ended—found no differences in memory, problem-solving, or learning skills in those who took hormone therapy and those who took placebos.
What the latest analysis didn't address is whether taking hormones right at the onset of menopause—when symptoms occur-- have any benefits or risks in terms of cognitive function. The volunteers who participated in the Women's Health Initiative had all gone through menopause years earlier.
But it does give pause to the "window of opportunity" theory that suggests women who take HRT to alleviate menopausal symptoms may enjoy certain health benefits that they don't get when they take it later in life. Recent research suggests a decreased heart disease risk in women who take hormones right after the onset of menopause.
"In contrast to these multiple studies of timing of hormone initiation and heart disease," wrote Francine Grodstein, an epidemiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in an editorial that accompanied the study, "similarly convincing evidence, including the report in this issue, has not accumulated regarding such a window of opportunity" for protecting the brain against the ravages of aging.

The rise and fall of Italy's Fiat fiefdom could make a great movie, but "Miss F" misses the mark.
The rise and fall of Italy's Fiat fiefdom could make a great movie, but "Miss F" misses the mark. Though a natural subject for socially-conscious helmer Wilma Labate ("My Generation"), script lacks thrust, turning characters into predictable mouthpieces rather than three-dimensional people with believable relationships. Fabulous opening using vintage footage to highlight pre-WWII optimism is juxtaposed with '70s disillusionment but pic never recaptures that initial energy. Local play, skedded for mid-January, will generate press, but, as pic is not for auds without knowledge of Italo labor disputes, offshore prospects are slim.
Uppity Emma (Valeria Solarino, bland) comes from a southern family that still believes in Fiat management's paternalistic promises. The mistress of kind auto exec Silvio (Fabrizio Gifuni), she's inexplicably drawn to rough factory grunt Sergio (Filippo Timi), whose sexual power is supposedly enough to rekindle her working-class roots and cause her to toss education and career away for a spell on the picket lines. Too bad Labate sweeps aside earlier tensions for a tired formula that alternates between didacticism and romance novel. Showing more texture than the other TV-like perfs, Sabrina Impacciatore, as Emma's level-headed sis, deserves more screen time.Miss F

The Baby Maker is an offbeat story of a childless couple who hire a young girl to conceive by the husband.
The Baby Maker is an offbeat story of a childless couple who hire a young girl to conceive by the husband.
Director James Bridges' story is stronger than his direction of players, though the physical staging is admirable. Collin Wilcox-Horne and Sam Groom are a barren couple, who hire Barbara Hershey to bear his child. This in turn shatters the girl's relationship with Scott Glenn, both of whom are from the love generation. Development of an emotional relationship between Hershey and Groom is more than implicit. Wilcox-Horne is excellent in a multi-faceted performance: sometimes warm and loving, occasionally on the verge of jealousy, but always sincere in her character's motivations and reactions. Hers is the film's best performance. Glenn comes over well as the frustrated but likeable lover. His role is important if subsidiary, and he handles it very well. 1970: Nomination: Best Original Song ScoreThe Baby Maker

Rep Power:
anything which u could isolate from the physical universe a being "a thing" in and of itself does not exist...
so are you saying that our perception is the only unreal thing ?
ahhh...see your bringing another word into it...REAL...eye don't in da brain computer identify as REAL and Existant as being synonimous
eye cee that that which is free from the realm of existence and non existence is actually the most REALEST shit you could concieve of
something which could be destroyed doesn't seem real to da God
penises and vaginas are very very different yo
for conversational purposes eye could say they are different....but as far speaking on how eye percieve things on a whole...nothing in the physical is separate from another...
"everything which does not exist is infinite"
so if it's being measured by "one" of us, it is infinite - it is an image of what does really exist - it is our own projection ?
if "it" is being measured then it isn't infinite...only the non physical is infinite...there couldn't be an accurate image of that which truly exists because its impossible to visualize everything in the physical universe on a whole....
it is our own projection ?
WHY EQUALITY SELF!!!!!!!.....the physical universe is ultimately a dream created by our own projection of light energy....
i'm saying that even what we think we see is real - it exist - and is physical -
yeah...well going back to the above....eye don't think that which is existant is real....but defineatly the totality of what we cee with our 2 eyes is that which exists...and yes it is physical!!!!

Once upon a time, hybrid and electric vehicles were a laughingstock. They looked like toy boxes, took half the day to charge, and could barely run 35 miles on full battery power. Then Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) came along and, buoyed by federal tax credits and government loans, shattered the poor image of EVs forever. Now the biggest of the Detroit Three says it time to take notice.
Dan Akerson, chief executive of General Motors (NYSE:GM), has formed a task force to study Tesla and report back on the potential for the California EV maker to disrupt GM's business, according to Bloomberg. It represents the shift in company culture Akerson has wanted to implement since taking the reins at GM in 2010. Steve Girsky, GM's vice chairman, explained Akerson's approach.
"He thinks Tesla could be a big disrupter if we're not careful," Girsky said in reference to GM's chief. "History is littered with big companies that ignored innovation…" Since the Chevy Volt (priced around $40,000) is being steadily outsold by the Tesla Model S (priced around $70,000), there's clearly something to be learned from the EV industry rock star and its CEO, Elon Musk.

West Virginia scored their lone run of the night in the first inning. Jarek Cunningham hit a one out double. Two batters later, Rogelio Norris hit a flare single into right-center field to plate Cunningham.
The Shorebirds were quick to respond in the bottom of the first. Brian Conley blasted a 3-2 pitch over the right-center field wall to tie the game at 1-1. It was his third homer of the season.
In the second, the Shorebirds grabbed the lead. Levi Carolus led off with a towering homer to left field. It was also his third homer of the season.
The 'Birds were back to work in the third inning. Ty Kelly hit a lead off single to left field. The next batter, Tyler Townsend, belted a double to deep left field to score Kelly from first. Townsend moved to third on a wild pitch and later scored on a single to right by Carolus to give the 'Birds a 4-1 edge.
After going without a run in the fourth, the Shorebirds tallied three more in the fifth off Brandon Holden. Kelly led off with a line drive single to right field. Townsend followed with a triple off the base of the wall in straight away center field. Kieron Pope then hit a sacrifice fly to left field to plate Townsend. The Shorebirds took a 7-1 lead on a homer to right-center by Steve Bumbry, his third of the year.
Kenny Moreland tossed a gem to earn his fifth win of the season. He retired 17 of the final 19 batters he faced and allowed only four hits in 6.2 innings pitched. Moreland also fanned eight batters without issuing a walk.
James Brandhorst tossed 1.1 innings and allowed only one hit. David Walters made his Shorebirds debut in the ninth inning and tossed a scoreless frame.
Brandon Holden (1-9) was tagged with the loss in 5.0 innings on the hill. He allowed nine hits and seven runs.
The Shorebirds play game two of the series on Thursday night at 7:05 p.m. RHP Jesse Beal toes the rubber for Delmarva.

upgrade from 4.8 to 5.3
hi i have recently having issues with uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries on 4.8 since i have read it seems that the best way it is to upgrade but i just was wondering to do it from steps from 4.8 to 5.3 but some god folk told me to just upgrade directly from 5.3 then pkg_add -r and fix what it does not work but im a little concern about doing this any advice?
Upgrading from release to the next release (4.8 -> 4.9 -> 5.0 ->5.1 -> 5.2 -> 5.3) is the only method that really works. See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade49.html
You also could consider taking a good backup of the system and do a fresh install of 5.3.
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump |
Likewise, each of the upgrade pages:...should be carefully read as additional manual steps may be required to complete the upgrade. |
It wasn't clear to me from reading polken's post here, nor reading the mentioned thread in misc@ that the recommendation to upgrade was a "direct" jump. I'm glad that ocicat posted his warning, in case that was what was being considered.
Upgrading is not difficult nor is it particularly time consuming. The sysmerge(8) tool automates upgrades of modified /etc configuration files. If upgrading is overwhelming, reinstalling the OS is also a possibility. The real question is whether 5.3-release will resolve the problem. The easiest way to test this is with a second disk drive -- as I mentioned in my first post above. Last edited by jggimi; 29th May 2013 at 12:00 PM. Reason: clarity |
ok i have just get the iso from all of the obsd's so i think ill go this way and if something goes wrong ill have a change to ask misc or here other way the folks will just say "UNSUPPORTED"

Jonathan Chait summed it up pretty accurately:
Spectacles like this have turned into a regular feature of life in the Republican House. The party leadership draws up a bill that's far too right-wing to ever become law, but it fails in the House because it isn't right-wing enough. Sometimes, as with the attempts to repeal Obamacare, the failures don't matter much, but in other instances the inability to pass legislation poses horrifying dangers. The chaos and dysfunction have set in so deeply that Washington now lurches from crisis to crisis, and once-dull, keep-the-lights-on rituals of government procedure are transformed into white-knuckle dramas that threaten national or even global catastrophe.
The Republican Party has spent 30 years careering ever more deeply into ideological extremism, but one of the novel developments of the Obama years is its embrace of procedural extremism. The Republican fringe has evolved from being politically shrewd proponents of radical policy changes to a gang of saboteurs who would rather stop government from functioning at all. In this sense, their historical precedents are not so much the Gingrich revolutionaries, or even their tea-party selves of a few years ago; the movement is more like the radical left of the sixties, had it occupied a position of power in Congress. And so the terms we traditionally use to scold bad Congresses—partisanship, obstruction, gridlock—don't come close to describing this situation. The hard right's extremism has bent back upon itself, leaving an inscrutable void of paranoia and formless rage and twisting the Republican Party into a band of anarchists.[snip]
The rational way to view these events is that Republicans have marginalized themselves. But the hard-liners see it differently. In their minds, every bill that passes is a betrayal by their leaders. They know that letting Democrats carry bills through the House has been the leadership's desperate recourse to avoid total chaos, and since chaos is their leverage, they are now working feverishly to seal off that escape route. This year, an increasing proportion of conservative media is given over to conservative activists' extracting pledges from Republican leaders not to negotiate with Democrats. In the wake of the tax-cut deal, Republican leaders in both houses had to pledge that they would not engage in any—to quote the ubiquitous buzzword—"backroom deals." Since all deals get made in back rooms (there is no such thing as a front room, and leaders in Western cultures like the United States habitually transact their business in rooms), this means no negotiation at all.
The Republicans in Congress are fully prepared to engage in any and every extreme tactic they can imagine. Their goal is simple: sabotage government.
While Greg Sargent and I talk about "sabotage governing" quite a bit, it's easy to lose sight sometimes of just how sweeping the GOP efforts to impair the federal health care law really are. We've never seen anything like this — it is literally without precedent — and for millions of Americans, very little matters more.[snip]
Again, don't forget that this has simply never happened before. There is no precedent in American history for Congress approving a massive new public benefit, a president signing it into law, the Supreme Court endorsing the benefit's legality, and then having an entire political party actively and shamelessly working to sabotage the law.
The Republican party has quite simply lost its collective mind. Mike Lee's threat to shut down the government unless the ACA is defunded is quite simply beyond the pale.
Paul Waldman offered his take:
What we have here is something truly unprecedented: an opposition party not just insisting that a significant government program was a bad idea, not even just hoping that in its implementation it doesn't work, but committing itself to actively working to make sure the program fails and that as much human misery as possible can be created along the way, so that eventual repeal of the program will become possible.
The Obama administration is facing a huge administrative task, laid on top of which is a challenging political problem. Try to imagine a government trying to build a new bridge, while all throughout their political opponents were not only telling people they'd die if they drove across it, but going out to throw rocks at the construction workers.
The Republican anti-government gospel has evolved from a desire to limit government to a desire to destroy it. Obamacare has become the focus of Republican and conservative ire. For all its weaknesses, the ACA represents a very real attempt to reform our dysfunctional health care system and as we're seeing California and New York, the various interlocking parts of the bill look like they're going to actually work where they're successfully implemented. Which explains why Republicans are now threatening to defund the program in exchange for not shutting down the government; they lost the political battle to stop it in in 2009 and 2010 – although their truly shockingly dishonest tactics remain, to my mind, a low point in American political history. Then they lost the legal battle. Now, theyr'e using the only tool they have left to fight the Affordable Care Act.
The Republicans may be embracing these tactics out of desparation. Their base is angry to the point of derangement:
At a time when major elements of the GOP's conservative "base" are already convinced—because they hear it constantly from conservative media gabbers—that the only thing standing in the way of total victory for The Cause is the weakness of GOP lawmakers, the "kill Obamacare or shut down the government" war cry could quickly get way out of hand. It doesn't help that so many conservatives continue to believe, notwithstanding all the evidence to the contrary, that a government shutdown would show Americans how little they actually miss Big Government.
If Mitch McConnell and John Boehner don't like the idea, they'd better come up with an alternative strategy for dealing with the autumn fiscal "crisis" and give it some momentum. Otherwise the thrill of imagining themselves denying government-enabled health insurance to 25 or 30 million people could so excite conservative activists that there will be no stopping them.
All of which adds up to a huge problem for America. A government shut down would be a complete fiasco. Politically, it could be suicidal for Republicans; suddenly, Republicans would have nothing left to lose. It would make the last year look like child's play.
