Bone The Fish - Most Recent Comments!
Who said you can't coin your own term? What is "Boning the Fish"? It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite TV Show, Celebrity, Movie Series or Music Group has reached its peak. That instant you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it a climax of sorts. We call it "Boning the fish". From that moment on things will simply never be the same.

New England Patriots - Random Topics
After the Patriots lost to the Ravens in the postseason, I heard that Bill Belichick decided to be a sore loser and refuse to give any post-game interview regarding the game. Seeing as he got a slap on the wrist for Spygate, I strongly doubt the NFL will take any action on him displaying poor sportsmanship. As long as Belijerk is the Patriots' head coach, I doubt I'll be liking them anytime soon. -- Submitted By: (BigAl) on January 23, 2013, 6:14 am

There are certain YouTube video series that I love. For instance, "The Downfall" parodies are hilarious, watching as Hitler gets made a fool of everytime, or something bad happens to him, usually because of Fegelein.

Comcast - Random Topics
And old story about Comcast and my dealings with them. Years back, my family wanted to get cable back in the house again. So we call Comcast to have someone hook us up. Days go by, no one comes out, even after repeated calls. My dad got so pissed off, by the time someone from Comcast DID come out, he read them the riot act, and apparently, the guy got so scared, he just hooked up the cable, no questions asked, and left, didn't get any other info down or anything. Got free cable for years because of it (until they decided to get DirecTV a few years afterwards) -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on January 19, 2013, 11:43 pm

ultimately the issue is that these corporate characters enver have an "end" to the story- Wolverine has been the plucky outsider for 35 years now, Peter Parker is a teen, married, then a teen again.

Dang! I came in here, hoping there would be other black viewers who would have the same opinion as I on BET, yet, it is obvious by the top vote that nobody but whites have been in this forum ..*sigh* ...and WHY do y'all keep on w/ the rhetorical questions of a BLACK entertainment Network, etc.? Do you ask women why there is a need for a Women's Day magazine? Do you even question gays on the LOGO channel? Talk about HYPOCRISY! ..and you do not need a WHITE entertainment channel, when 90% of the people you see on tv is white ..I betcha RIGHT NOW that if I turned on the tv to a random station, a white face will appear. So, WHY would I put a label on things in my own home? And BET was conceived back in the early 80s, when MTV, which is, supposedly, a GENERAL music station, WOULD NOT PLAY any black videos! ..But anyways ...BET jumped shark when Bob Johnson sold out to Viacom, and shows w/ substance were removed, such as BET News, BET Tonight (w/ Tavis Smiley), Lead Story, Teen Summit, Video Soul, Carribean Rhythms, etc...and these shows were replaced w/ series, etc., that promoted negativity, such as American Gangsta, BEEF ..and they began to show "Baby Boy" and "Soul Plane" all the time...

Where do i possibly begin?? BET boned the fish when they got rid of Free & AJ, thus ruining the original 106 & Park. Ask anybody, EVER SINCE Free & AJ have been gone, 106 which was one of their major programs, has sucked complete ass. Rocsi was always beyond annoying. BET also got rid of the original Rap City: The Bassment with Big Tigga. The channel is so unpredictable as far as the line-up. For example once they played Moesha a few times. Then u don't see it come on again for maybe 6 months. WTF? They also did the same thing with One On One. A lot of ppl like those shows and they are quite popular, but they only show them once or twice in a blue moon and then start showing garbage shows like "My Wife & Kids" and "The Bernie Mac Show" which are both unfunny with bad acting. BET also plays the same movies over & over (if i flip through the channels and see "Daddy's Little Girls" one more time i'm going to go AWOL). Love & Basketball is a great movie and they only play that like once a year.

I think Burger King's burgers aren't half-bad. The Double Stacker, their cheeseburger, Whopper, etc. I like the fact that they have that flame-broiled flavor that most burger places don't have. Also they actually use real hamburger, and believe it or not, McDonald's and quite a few other fast food chains do not. Their chocolate milkshakes are pretty damn good as well. I think their lack of popularity generally comes from ppl being so stuck on McDonald's but, don't knock it if u haven't tried it for yourself, the Stacker is just as good as, if not better than McDonald's cheeseburgers.

Anyway, while that's a personal preference, what REALLY caused it to bone as far as I'm concerned is when just DAYS after all the allegations came out that prompted Kevin Clash to abruptly retire for 'personal reasons', they had the ELMO FLOAT!

For the record, I get sick of the constant bombardment/overexposure as well. And it's really annoying to hear a Christmas song (like Carol of the Bells, Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, etc.) with lyrics changed to peddle a product or service.

Thanksgiving - Random Topics
Boned not because of the holiday itself, but because of greedy corporate retailers like Target and Walmart who are opening at 9 PM on Thanksgiving day. If these assholes would simply open at 6 AM on Black Friday, they would still make the same amount of money and people could at least enjoy their Thanksgiving. Of course, blame also goes to all idiot shoppers who line up outside these stores hours before they open, thereby encouraging earlier openings. -- Submitted By: (John63btf) on November 20, 2012, 2:32 pm
Christmas - Random Topics
Walgreen's in my city stripped down the Halloween stuff November 1st and put the Christmas stuff up THAT day without even a second to consider Thanksgiving! I like the day itself and, as a Christian, I like take the time to reflect on His Birth and Life on that day but how greedy can retailer's be? Oh, and I could only find frankincense there- NO gold or myrrh at Walgreens! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on November 19, 2012, 10:31 am
Elmo - Random Topics
Can we finally retire Elmo? The fact that the puppeteer for the character is a sick pedo is beyond the point, the character was always the worst of the Sesame Street lineup and now we have a good reason to move on from him. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on November 18, 2012, 11:49 pm
United States Congress - Random Topics
It should be worth noting that around the time of the SOPA fiasco, the approval rating for Congress was around 9%. Not only is this lower than the lowest approval rating for any president since presidential approval ratings tracking began in the 1930s, but, from one comparison I saw, it's lower than the approval ratings for the IRS, lawyers, banks, and BP during the oil spill. -- Submitted By: (cartooner) on November 17, 2012, 5:09 pm

The local mall in my area got Santa out first weekend of November. Let the turkey die first before we even entertain the thought of Santa and Christmas music and such.

Elmo - Random Topics
I saw that, but with a resolution this quick, I suspect the accuser was paid off. (TMZ says it was a six figure payout.) Regardless, we now for a fact that this guy trolls for hookups with dudes half his age, and used Sesame Street's computers to do so. This runs contrary to the whole clean-cut, nice-guy family man image that documentary portrayed. Elmo is still a lousy character and Kevin Clash is creepy. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on November 15, 2012, 12:34 pm

Disney - Random Topics
Yeah, Pixar too. I remember when they were going to go off and do their own thing, then Disney turned around and just bought them out. Anyhow, I really don't know what to make of the Lucasfilms purchase. On one hand, George Lucas ruined the original trilogy with those loathed digital re-edits. Since he's so addicted to CGI, maybe it's a good thing. Another plus is Disney might know there's Hell to pay if they DARE Disney-fy the Star Wars trilogy. On the other hand, there's Disney sequelitis, and we could someday see Star Wars XIV: The Search for More Money. Oh, wait...that was Spaceballs II. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on November 3, 2012, 10:43 pm

Truth be told, I'd feel more optimistic re the news of the purchase of Lucasfilm were Uncle Walt still at the helm inasmuch as HE would have done his derndest to have steered the 'Star Wars' enterprise away from the pointless track of cynicism,evil celebrated and sadism that's pervaded it ever since Lucas gave the EU writers free rein after 'ROJ' 's original release.Under Uncle Walt the original themes of good triumphing over evil, redemption and mercy would have been brought back but with whoever's running Disney these days, I'm not so sure! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on November 3, 2012, 4:15 pm

Every member of the staff we encountered were great-friendly and welcoming. We had requested (and received) an upper floor (4th), which can have a downside if elevators are slow, especially with several reunion groups making for what seemed to be a full hotel; but, we never had to wait and seldom even had to make interim stops! Two things kept this from being an "Excellent" rating: (1) a light bulb in the bathroom was out when we arrived-left a note for maid-no action-another note-finally, a call to the front desk got it changed by our last day; (2) smoke detector went off in middle of night-called front desk-no problem in hotel, so battery must be low-balanced precariously on furniture to reach and remove battery-front desk person said she'd leave note-nothing-finally, called again next afternoon and, quite promptly, a maintenance person came and installed a new battery.

Just a photo of a couple young Sans.
Sans enjoying their summer outside. An S. masoniana variegate, a young S. t. futura striated, also an Aloe brevifolia variegate. A little blue S. kirki 'Silver Blue' can also be seen in the background.
Woodnative, Looking good. Always enjoy your collection. You can join the fat leaf contest. Seems nobody else is. That masoniana could be a winner. I finally got one of my futura's to break across at 4 inches. Didn't picture it yet.
I have an all-green masoniana that would probably beat that. I don't know that would be fair, however, as masoniana is naturally big! Maybe we should limit that contest to trifasciata types. Elichka- the mix is a bit of this and a bit of that.........Commercail cactus mix, course sand, a bit of garden soil, some perlite, a little bone meal, a bit of........

Removing drywall and ceiling
We recently bought a house built in the 1970s. It is about 2000 sf, no basement, in Texas. When we bought the house I knew that we wanted to do some remodeling including adding a master bath and enlarging the masterbedroom (house is brick and has plenty of room at back to add on) as the master bath is tiny. We would be removing that bath (making it part of the master bedroom) and then adding on to the room and adding a true master bath. I also did not like the ceiling and wall texture and had in mind changing the texture. Also the prior owner had done a number of poorly done sheetrock repairs that I want to correct. The living room has a brick fireplace that we want to remove. There is a non-loadbearing interior wall we want to move and a closet we want to add to another room.
Overall we like the basic layout of the house. We have already replaced kitchen appliances (we converted the kitchen to electric). We would like to replace the cabinets and countertops but the kitchen layout is fine.
There is another bathroom that we would like to replace the toilet, tub, vanity but would not move anything.
We had originally assumed we would have the walls/ceilings sanded and retextured. We have had testing done and there is asbestos in the ceiling and likely the wall joint compound, however, it is not above 1% so it does not require asbestos abatement. That is, it could be removed by a regular contractor rather than an asbestos abatement contractor. However, I am concerned that if we ever sell the house (it is our plan that this is our retirement house so do not plan to every sell) that even though abatement is not required that it would hurt resale to have to say it has any asbestos at all in it. Also I don't want to have to worry about it every time we do anything to the walls/ceiling.
Given the fact that we want to retexture everything anyway and given the patches in the sheetrock that need to be redone and given the remodeling that we plan to do I was wondering about the feasability of simply ripping out all the drywall including the walls and ceilings and having new sheetrock put in. I realize that in doing that we would need to vacate the house while the work was being done (we would move all our stuff out and rent somewhere while the work was being done). I do not think we need to redo all the plumbing or electrical but do like the idea of being able to improve insulation or see if there are any problem areas.
Is it feasible to remove all the sheetrock and ceilings from the house? Is that hugely expensive? How does the cost of removing the sheetrock and ceilings and putting up new compare to the cost of removing the existing texture, repairing the poorly done patches and putting on new texture?
It sounds easier to me to rip all that out rather than sanding it down and patching. But am I wrong?
Any ideas of cost to do this? I am in Texas.
I am going to bring in contractors. I am just trying to get a feel for whether removing and replacing the sheetrock and ceilings is going to cost $100,000 or $10,000 or some range. We have a number of options here:
1. Remove and replace using an asbestos abatement contractor - we aren't required to do it but we could do it anyway
2. Remove and replace using a regular contractor
3. Remove texture from the ceiling and walls but leaving the drywall up and the ceilings there - Using an asbestos abatement contractor
4. Same as 3 but use regular contractor.
There are cost factors involved, of course, but also doing what will be safest long-term.
I know that either of these options will generate a lot of dust but I don't know if one option is safer than the other. Regardless of whether asbestos abatement is required, I want to feel comfortable moving back in.
I am also a little at a loss on getting quotes since the room addition for the master bath will, I think, require getting drawings done. I know there are design build contractors but I am reluctant to tie myself to one company by having them do a design and then not to be able to get quotes from others.
After removing the popcorn you are very likely to have to mud and tape, and possibly skim for damaged areas.
If you tear it out you will have to mud and tape, but there should not be a need for skimming (unless you want that level of finish)
Under a typical paint roller finish there is enough paint texture that skimming is rarely required (one coat of primer and two coats of paint give a uniform surface).
Tearing out is not that much of a chore, it is just dirty work.
Keeping the removed pieces large reduces the number of chunks that need to be handled and removed.

Here's a quick overview of what I use for all of my trail races. I'm not an elite runner by any means, so I do carry a little more than maybe your average trail runner going for a fast time. I like to be as self sufficient as possible during races, even though aid stations are provided I find carrying my own stuff as much as possible makes me faster in transitioning at the aid stations (an important factor when you aren't a fast runner and there's a cutoff time to make). Also, being a back of the pack kinda guy I'm always worried that there might be lacking sufficient stuff at the aid stations by the time I arrive with the front runners taking the spoils.
Due to having some knee issues I'm also a big advocate of using poles. I find they help me a lot, especially on the downhills where my ITBS injury can become problematic. They also allow me to power walk and propel myself along, and help to stabilise me on some technical terrain. The poles I use are carbon fiber and very lightweight made by Black Diamond. The other advantage over their weight, that I like about these poles, is they fold up rather than slide out. The sliding poles I find can come loose, they aren't too durable and if you lean hard enough on it can slip back inwards. These fold out and lock into place giving a sturdy platform that can be relied upon and not likely to break during the race.
As most of my races are done in the Philippines and other tropical climates that I'm not so well adapted to, I tend to go through fluids quite fast. I therefore opt to carry what seems to some runners a lot of weight. My hydration bladder is 1.5 litres, and then I cary two simple hydration bottles each holding around 300ml in the front chest pockets. The pack I use is the roomy Salomon Skin Pro 14+3. This gives me all the space I need and can store my trekking poles as well. I generally reserve the bottles for rehydration drinks such as Pocari Sweat or Gatorade and the bladder for purely water. Occasionally I might drop some oral rehydration salt tablets into the hydration pack, but I generally don't find this necessary. I prefer Pocari Sweat as gatorade give me acid when I drink it during races.
I also carry a small rubber foldable cup made by Ultraspire. This fits perfectly into the rear pocket of my running shorts without causing any irritation. I can quickly whip it out at aid stations to grab some soft drinks or whatever is on offer. Most trail races these days don't issue cups because of environmental impact the trash can cause.
Inside my pack I have a Thuraya Sat Phone, often times on the trail there can be no signal, so in an emergency situation I find carrying the Satphone to be of benefit. It can also double up as a GPS in an emergency giving me basic latitude and longitude coordinates for rescue teams. I also carry a spare pair of contact lenses and a space blanket incase I am stuck overnight somewhere.
Depending on the altitude or weather conditions, I will either carry a lightweight Salomon hooded rain jacket, or a thin Pertex windsheet that I can put on.
For nutrition, I am not really someone who can digest a lot of food when in a race. I have quite a good ability to keep on going with little food (I completed MF42, a 42km trail race with 2,000 meters of ascent) without taking on any nutrition at all, only fluids. I do however carry some hard candies as I like to get some flavour and taste in my mouth, and I carry a few energy gels. I use an organic natural energy gel that is honey based.
If there is a drop bag service available I will make up a drink with Chia Seeds and coconut sugar and have that in the drop bag. I find that in a long race this helps to fill the empty feeling in my stomach, and is easy to digest. Chia Seeds already have a well known nutritional value and are a great source of energy during long runs.
Lighting is very important, and is usually mandatory gear for any long distances races that entail sections of the trail to be negotiated in the dark. I personally use a Black Diamond storm. It's powerful, long lasting battery and the LED light indicator that warns of low battery when starting up are all useful features. It's not too heavy, and I find it very comfortable to wear while running.
I'll usually have some painkillers and anti inflammatory medication in my bag as well.
In some occasions if navigation might be difficult I will bring along a Garmin E-Trex 80 series GPS, but this would usually be if I am going for a run myself not in an organised race which tend to be marked and marshalled.
On my wrist I have a Suunto Ambit3 watch. This gives great battery life for longer races, and I found it to e pretty accurate. I like how it integrates with Strava and their own moves count website. I am a big fan of the Suunto Ambit having used previously the Ambit first generation before upgrading to their latest model. I will do a full review of the Ambit 3 soon.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

SEOUL, South Korea - Badminton authorities in South Korea have eased penalties against four players who tried to lose their last group matches at the London Olympics.
A Badminton Korea Association disciplinary committee had earlier barred the two women's doubles pairs from international and domestic play for two years after they were ejected from the Olympics for trying to deliberately lose in order to gain an easier path to the final. The players appealed for leniency.
The association lowered the punishment to six months on Wednesday, saying their earlier decision was too harsh.
The association says the players' two coaches are barred from working for the national team for four years. They had previously been expelled from the association.
Two other doubles teams, from China and Indonesia, also were kicked out of the Olympics.
