WITHIN THE LAST : 6 MONTHS WE HAVE HAD UNEXPLAINED NOISES ONLY AT NIGHT. : THE NOISES ARE A LOUD THUMP (LIKE A BASKETBALL BEING : THROWN AGAINST SIDING, OR AN OUTSIDE DOOR BEING : SLAMMED SHUT.) THIS ONLY HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND ONLY : MAYBE 2-3 TIMES A WEEK. THESE NOISES ARE LOUD ENOUGH : TO WAKE EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE. IT IS CONFINED TO ONE WALL ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE HOUSE. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY PIPES INSIDE THAT WALL, AND DONT THINK A PIPE CAN MAKE SUCH A LOUD NOISE. THERE IS : NO EXPLANATION THAT I CAN THINK OF! WOULD YOU : SUGGEST A CARPENTER, PLUMBER, HOME INSPECTOR?? THX. BOB Bob, Trim the tree next to the house. This is his daughter Amanda and if there is no trees against the house or around that particular wall I sugest you get a movie producer cuz you might be the next movie millionair. LOL |

Training >> Browse Articles >> Life and Leadership Lessons from the American Fire Service
Are They Fixing or Bitching? Are You Leading or Retreating?
Michael West, Fired Up Training Services, LLC
There is little doubt that in one of your firehouses right now, some members are engaged in a "solving the World's issues" discussion. The nature of firefighters is that we are fixers. Think about it. A woman calls 911. "My house is on fire! My baby's not breathing!! I smell gas! I'm locked out of my car." We respond and fix the issue. It's why many of us became involved in this business. Our desire to help is really our desire to fix. When no one is calling 911 it is in the firefighter's mindset to continue to fix things.
This has led to fire department issues for as long as we have been a fire service. As leaders, we need to determine if the troops are bitching or they are fixing. There is a difference but too often all are lumped into one big category and it's generally the former one. When it is all thrown into the same pot, we can end up dismissing important issues that could be solved. Solving issues makes our departments stronger and the leader a better leader. What are the distinctions?
1. Bitching is generic, "this place is the pits, that shift is lazy, the chief doesn't know anything, I hate this place", kinds of complaints. Fixing involves specific examples of issues often coupled with possible solutions. Remember fixers may not have the answer that solves the problem but they know a solution exists and they want help to find it.
2. Bitchers bitch, fixers fix. Seems like a no brainer, but if someone has a complaint or observation and continues to step up, starts a group to work on solutions, or continues to do research on the problem then they are fixers.
3. Bitching is often done in private corners between small groups of people. It may be through some anonymous chatroom on the world wide web where people hide behind some false name like MyFDsucks. It is done without thought, true insight, or positive intent. Fixing is direct, here is what I see, here is one or more ways to repair it, here is my signature and yes, I am willing to help.
As leaders, we must recognize the distinction between these two modes. Many managers see conflict or difference of opinion as bad.
They may view it as a shot at their ability or consider the fixer as someone with a bad attitude. After all if we are in charge there can't be anything that needs to be fixed so this member must be bitching. Fixers who are continually labeled in this way often turn their fixing outside the organization and the Department may lose the valuable input that they have to offer. A significant benchmark of poor leadership in the fire department is when the leader is left alone without meaningful conversations from the people they lead. A Chief we know would ask his staff for the downsides of a plan before putting it into action. If he went around the room and received no feedback he would table the issue until next meeting. He knew that there are problems with any plan and would wait until he heard from the opponents before moving ahead. If you ask 10 of your people "what are our problems in this department?" and they all tell you every thing is perfectly fine, you likely have a big problem.What can leaders do to better to work with fixers? There are several things that can help:
1. Listen carefully. The difference between the two can sometimes be subtle. Not everyone is an eloquent communicator who can explain their ideas for fixing well. Within the issue brought to the floor there is likely legitimate concern or room for our department's improvement. If the leader dismisses it because the person does not clearly communicate their vision or complaint or possible solutions they might be missing a chance to fix some organizational issue.
2. Stop defending. It is impossible to advance from a defensive posture. The fixer generally doesn't attack individuals unless it is truly the leader who has caused the problem at hand. Fixers work to move the organization forward. Managers who are insecure about their ability, though, often see questions or concerns as shots at their personal character. The leader must understand that their department can be improved and should see it as their responsibility to be open to criticism and critique of themselves and their area of responsibility. It is likely that you were not a charter member of your fire department. As leaders we are trying to fix what we have inherited. Stop defending and start listening.
3. Join NA (No Anonymous). At NA, like other help groups, people are trying to kick the habit. Many fire service managers immediately react with "No" as the answer to all questions and suggestions. We should all work toward saying yes or at least break the habit gently by starting with "Maybe".
Firefighters are fixers by nature and want to contribute to the success of their department. It is important that leaders recognize the nature of their followers and work to build trust and communication so that these fixers can help all of us do better. It is best to stay open to the suggestions of the members because as a friend of mine often says none of us are as good as all of us.
Michael West has been a member of the fire service since 1982. He is a 4th generation firefighter who has instructed internationally at fire departments and conferences.

The following is an excerpt from Gotham fiction instructor bn.com. Karen is also an O. Henry Short Story Award winner and the author of a short story collection, The Other Door.
An exerpt from The Soft Room a novel by Karen Heuler They were golden-haired, those twins. They were square-faced with thick eyebrows and strong chins. They had eyes of slate-blue, each with three golden flecks, and abnormally large, dilated pupils. Their mouths were generous and determined. Strong, vibrant girls, they grabbed immediately at anything in reach. Robust, lusty, big babies, their lungs like bellows, accordion-hearted, they expanded and contracted from joy to sorrow, trumpeting with outrage and gurgling with glee. And, no matter what the emotion, even with their crinkled eyelids half-shut on some large sensation, they checked each other to see if their responses agreed. Abigail was the first-born, and she came into the world howling, no one had to smack her. Megan, however, yawned, gulped air, shook her fists and didn't cry, no matter how hard she was slapped. Enid, the new mother, strained to hear the second yell and had to be reassured that the child was silent but healthy. The nurse would say no more, exchanging a quick glance with the doctor. Time would tell if the infant was mute; perhaps the yawns were really inarticulate howls, the first of a series of pantomimes against the world. By the time they all left the hospital--Abby in Enid's arms, Meg in Ralph's arms - both twins were equally noisy, faces turning pinched red and vocal chords working furiously when they were hungry or soiled or bored. Ralph held his child tentatively, afraid that the diapers and blankets wouldn't protect him from the warm, vibrant spill (for such small things, they had already managed to christen him - each one - and he had a new respect for small capacities). Enid, still exhausted but feeling almost light enough to float now that the great weight had been lifted from her belly, crooned absently. She found herself humming whenever she had a baby in her arms, like a cat with a kitten. She felt accomplished, having two at once, saving herself an extra pregnancy and double bills. A shy, pleased, meditative smile crept around her lips; she had been economical. The future spread ahead of her - dressing the twins identically or not, being the only one to tell them apart, parading down the avenue with a double stroller. She would keep a record, a valuable record, perhaps, on the development of twins. She would join the Twin Society, she had looked it up when the doctor had detected the second heartbeat; she would find other magical mothers, bearers of twins, a new-found community. She had always wanted to join something. Ralph followed his own thoughts. Enid hadn't noticed, yet, how kind he was about the fact that they were girls, not boys, and there was no way he could point out his own benevolence. Besides, he suspected that he might actually prefer girls. He imagined two radiant daughters, clinging to him prettily, adoring him, asking him endless questions and waiting breathlessly for his reply. In a few years, maybe, there would be a boy. With his own progenerative powers, probably two boys. For a few steps he walked as if his balls were huge enough to get in his way, two for the record books. But he corrected his step when it seemed to disturb the baby. It would be a while before they chattered and adored him, and for the moment it seemed best to let them sleep.

Publication Date
This is the pre-published version harvested from ArXiv. The published version is located at http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/695/2/1537/
We present a detailed comparison of the CO (3-2) emitting molecular gas between a local sample of luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) and a high-redshift sample that comprises submm selected galaxies (SMGs), quasars, and Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs). The U/LIRG sample consists of our recent CO (3-2) survey using the Submillimeter Array while the CO (3-2) data for the high-redshift population are obtained from the literature. We find that the and L FIR relation is correlated over five orders of magnitude, which suggests that the molecular gas traced in CO (3-2) emission is a robust tracer of dusty star formation activity. The near unity slope of 0.93 ± 0.03 obtained from a fit to this relation suggests that the star formation efficiency is constant to within a factor of 2 across different types of galaxies residing in vastly different epochs. The CO (3-2) size measurements suggest that the molecular gas disks in local U/LIRGs (0.3-3.1 kpc) are much more compact than the SMGs (3-16 kpc), and that the size scales of SMGs are comparable to the nuclear separation (5-40 kpc) of the widely separated nuclei of U/LIRGs in our sample. We argue from these results that the SMGs studied here are predominantly intermediate stage mergers, and that the wider line widths arise from the violent merger of two massive gas-rich galaxies taking place deep in a massive halo potential.

If the government were obliged to come to the people for money instead of vice-versa, the people would keep government under control and operate their economy satisfactorily with prosperity and peace resulting. The peoples of the nations do not make war. For them peace is the natural and permanent order. Wars are planned and perpetrated by politicians and their diplomats; and the money power of government is the means by which the people are maneuvered into wars.
E. C. Riegel
Source: http://www.mind-trek.com/treatise/ecr-pem/ch2.htm
Contributed by: peter
Money power cannot be separated from democratic power without miscarriage and ensuing frustration - political and economic. Democracy implies the sovereignty of man; and, since man cannot be sovereign without the money power, there can not be democracy under the political money system.
Political economy is a fiction. Economy can have but one sphere, namely, in the practice of the individual. Political economy implies that the state can have a separate existance as a creative force, whereas, it is but one of the instruments of the individual's economy. All wealth - all economic planning - can spring only from the individual for his private guidance; and in him resides both the political and economic power. The ballot is his instrument of political power; money his instrument of economic power and the former is futile without the latter. He is a dupe, who believes that government can be both his servant and his patron, i.e., that the state can develop an economy to enrich him. He must govern government as he governs himself; and he must provide for government as he provides for himself. Any power existing outside himself is only that which has been delegated by him, or has escaped from him; for he is the one and only power-house. He cannot delegate his money power, if he would, because it is inseparably linked to his buying wherein he must exert his private discretion. To issue money, one must buy, to buy, one must appraise. Hence, the money issuing power is undelegatable and unusurpable.
Source: http://www.mind-trek.com/treatise/ecr-pem/ch1.htm
As has been stated, the purpose of money is to split barter into two parts so that the seller is free to find his source of supply later and elsewhere. This is the sole purpose of money. Any effort to use money to serve another purpose is perversive; and this statement condemns the entire managed money philosophy.
Contrary to popular belief, the banker is neither a money creator nor a money lender. He merely profits from the ignorance of businessmen by charging them for authorizing them to create money, a function that is natural to the buyer and which he can exert without cost if he is intelligent enough to form a reciprocal enabling pact with other buyers. The process involves no cost and, therefore, justifies no fee. Since the money is created only by the act of buying, the banker, of course, does not lend it, and since he is not the buyer, he does not create it. Money cannot be loaned or borrowed until it has been created by the act of buying. Therefore it is correct to say that a savings bank makes loans, but a commercial bank makes no loans. It merely permits "borrowers" to create money. thus increasing the money supply. Non-banking corporations, individuals, pawnbrokers, etc., loan money from the existing supply. Therefore interest may be justified in these cases of actual loans, whereas, it cannot be justified where the "borrower" is the actual creator.
There is an analogy between the patent granting power of government and its money granting power. When a citizen invents a device, the government grants him, through the patent office, a monopoly on the sale of it. When a citizen produces anything, he is at liberty to use it; but, if he wishes to sell it, his ability to do so is dependent upon his ability to find someone who has the money. Since buyers can have only such money as the government distributes through its purchases, loans and gifts (or such substitute money as its creature, the banker, will authorize) it may be seen that buying is subject to grant, just as, in the case of a patent, selling is subject to grant. In the case of patents, the patent holder is the grantee of veto power; in the case of money, the banker is the grantee of the veto power. These two are the breeders of our monopolies and of the two, the money granting and vetoing power is by far the greater. It in fact makes possible the acquisition of the patent granting power from inventors who, not having money power, are obliged to sell to those who have. The government, which promulgates laws against monopolies in restraint of competition, is itself the author of these twin creators of monopolies.
The first cardinal truth of money is that no one, whether individual or government, can issue money without buying something. By inviting government to become a money issuer, we invite it to become our customer. Then we quarrel with it if it tries to buy something that we deem within the province of private enterprise. The second cardinal truth of money is that money must be backed with something, and the act of backing can only be the act of selling. Since we object to government buying and selling anything useful, but nevertheless insist that it issue money, we force it into boondoggling or public works that do not conflict with our private enterprise. Thus we compel government to issue unbacked money by making it impossible for it to sell anything in exchange for the money it issues. As this process of issuing unbacked money continues, each unit grows weaker and thus the dosage must be increased. Hedged about, as government is, by our objections to its invading private enterprise and yet keeping it under the pressure to issue money, it is ultimately forced to the most consummate public works spending program, which is war.

Money is an instrumentality of the profit motive and must be issued and backed only by private enterprisers. Economic and political perversities are inescapable while government is admitted to money power. Since all national governments have, up to the present, been money issuing powers we may justly attribute all the economic and political ills of mankind to this single error.
When government is invested with money power it rises above the citizen and under the profession of protecting him may actually constitute the greatest threat to his well-being and safety. The power which control of the money system gives to government to interfere in and direct and even take the life of the individual should not exist on this earth. No man or group of men is warranted in holding this terrible power over fellow men.
Money power means budget power and it is folly to imagine that the citizen can control government unless he can control its budget.

Guest Biographies Peter Ostroushko is regarded as one of the finest mandolin and fiddle players in acoustic music, and he's well-known to A Prairie Home Companion listeners as a frequent guest performer and as the former musical director for the program. Raised amidst Northeast Minneapolis' Ukrainian community, young Ostroushko taught himself to play the piano, mandolin, guitar, and eventually fiddle, banjo, bass, and other string instruments. In the '70s, Ostroushko's first recording session was an uncredited mandolin set on Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks. Ostroushko has since played on more than 100 other albums, and has an eclectic list of accomplishments: he's collaborated with numerous local musicians and with national greats such as Emmylou Harris and Chet Atkins; he's played ukelele with the Minnesota Orchestra under the direction of Sir Neville Mariner, barked like a dog on The David Letterman Show, and appeared on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. The title track for his CD, Heart of the Heartland (Red House), was featured as the theme for Meriwether Lewis in Ken Burns' film, Lewis and Clark. The Heart of the Heartland CD as a whole received wide acclaim, including a review in Billboard that compared Ostroushko to Aaron Copland and a N.A.I.R.D. Indie Award, the independent music industry's highest honor. Ostroushko's latest recording is Pilgrims on the Heart Road (Red House). Appearing with him tonight are: Dean Magraw (guitar) and Pat Frederick, Prudence Johnson, and Karen Paurus (vocals). Studs Terkel calls himself a "disc jockey," a reference to his role as host of the Peabody Award-winning talk show, The Studs Terkel Program, heard for 45 years in Chicago on WFMT. On New Year's Day, Terkel aired his last regularly scheduled radio show. He'll spend the next two years working on the Studs Terkel-WFMT Archive, which will become a Chicago Historical Society collection of 7,000 hours of interviews. Before starting with WFMT in 1953, Terkel had starred in Studs' Place, one of the programs that created the Chicago school of television. The show began airing in 1950, the year that Joseph McCarthy began claiming that he had a list of Communist Party members in the U.S. State Department. The popularity of Studs' Place couldn't keep it on the air: the program was dropped by NBC when Terkel wouldn't reverse his "pro-Communist" positions in favor of price and rent controls and against the poll tax and Jim Crow laws. By the mid-'60s, Terkel's interviews on WFMT began to be noticed outside of Chicago. In 1965, his first oral history was published, Division Street: America, about class differences in Chicago. Terkel calls his writing "bottom-up history ... [interviews with] ordinary people who have something real to say about themselves." To compile each of his books, Terkel meets with hundreds of these "ordinary people" and then sifts through the hours upon hours of resulting tape until the interviews are distilled down to bare truth. He won the Pulitzer Prize for his 1985 book The Good War, the story of World War II told through soldiers and civilians on both sides. A year ago this month, Terkel was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Terkel's latest book is My American Century (New Press), the best of his tapes/social chronicles. In November 1997, the National Book Foundation gave Terkel a medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. The award is given to an individual who has enriched the nation's literary heritage through a lifetime of work. |

The Work of Artist, Writer and Experimental Geographer Trevor Paglen Displayed at Secession
Trevor Paglen, Secession 2010, Foto: Wolfgang Thaler.
The work of American artist, writer and experimental geographer Trevor Paglen centres on a political and aesthetic engagement with the covert activities of the U.S. secret services and military, collectively known by the name Black World. His motto might well be: Make the invisible visible. His work is based on attentive observation, meticulous research and extensive data collection. The exhibition at
is from NOV. 26, 2010 FEB. 13, 2011.
To realize his works mostly photographs and video pieces - Paglen uses technologically advanced equipment including the kind of special cameras and precision telescopes utilized in space photography. In this way, he is able to photograph, from great distances, classified military facilities buffered by huge areas of restricted land, or, using long exposures, to document the flight paths and thus the existence - of satellites. Cooperation with international amateur networks of aircraft and satellite spotters and the information they provide form the basis for identifying the satellites and orbits used by the CIA for its seamless surveillance of the world. The artists investigative approach is predicated on a critical examination of the historical and cultural conditions of perception.
On one hand, Paglen is interested in phenomena not visible to the naked eye, such as satellites, drones, and their flight paths. But his artistic activity also focuses on the hidden and concealed, such as the military facilities located in the deserts of the United States and surrounded by large exclusion zones, that do not feature on any official map. On the other hand, Paglens attention (and that of the viewer) is focused on phenomena that are very much visible to the naked eye, but which, thanks to their being camouflaged as ordinary (e.g., the countless code and cover names for secret military programmes) or due to a lack of political awareness and interest, are simply not perceived by the majority of the population. Trevor Paglen is concerned, then, with heightening awareness of the fact that the so-called Black World really does exist.

OSHA investigates possible safety violations after worker trapped in Aurora trench collapse
OSHA records: Company has prior safety violations
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration says it's investigating after a trench collapsed in Aurora, trapping a worker who was fixing a pipe.
The man, an employee for Colorado Pipe Services, was buried up to his waist in dirt and trapped for two hours by the Tuesday morning collapse at 1440 S. Oakland St.
"It's heavy sand dirt that was around him, and when it comes in, it packs in like concrete," Brad Stone, an engineer with the Aurora Fire Department, told 7NEWS reporter Lindsay Watts.
Firefighters gave the man oxygen and IV fluids as rescuers used hand trowels and shovels to clear the dirt away. Officials said he was awake and alert during the rescue.
The worker was taken to the hospital, and co-workers said he's expected to be OK.
OSHA tells 7NEWS there are indications of a safety violation, saying that work in a trench more than 5-feet deep requires a protective structure to shield workers from a collapse. Aurora Fire said the trench was about 12-feet deep and there was no such structure.
"At the time of the cave-in, there was no protective system," confirmed David Nelson, OSHA Area Director at the federal agency's Englewood office. An OSHA inspector examined the scene Tuesday and estimated the trench was about 8-feet deep.
Colorado Pipe Services, a Golden firm, says on its website that it changed its name in 2013 from Colorado Pipe and Concrete. OSHA records show that a business by that name was fined for multiple serious violations in 2007-- all of them related to protecting workers from excavation cave-ins.
Representatives from Colorado Pipe Services did not want to speak on camera at the accident scene and didn't return later calls for comment.

Standing up to a bully can change your life. Small, downtrodden Malcolm finally explodes, and stands up to his bullying stepbrother – with a frying pan. That moment drastically changes his life. Exiled by his stepfather to the wilds of Scotland, away from his mother and little sister, into the care of his elderly Aunt Mary and a huge Rambo lookalike, he meets a fresh type of bully and faces humiliation and shocking dangers for himself and his beloved dog Bullet. He tries to control his urge to react with violence, to stop being a victim, to develop a new outlook on life. So that when the gorgeously handsome Gerald reappears, gloating, Malcolm can maybe – just maybe – sort him out. Nothing goes smoothly, of course. But in the fresh clash of personalities, with the help of his new friends and family, Wee Malkie faces his problems with determination and humour – and the result surprises even himself.

Gerald called me a bastard again, and I nearly killed him. Serve him right. I'd known all my life that I was. A bastard, I mean. I was born while mum was on a rebel/ hippy/ free love/ do your own thing kick. I'll swear dad was on some kind of drugs, though mum always denied it. Whenever he was high on cloud nine he was good fun, giggly and cheerful, what outsiders saw as normal. But even at three I knew to keep out of sight when he was down, which was most of the time; he was vicious and depressed, like a weasel with toothache. Mum couldn't protect me, he was too strong. She just cringed and told me to run for it if I could, or hide, usually in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. For some reason dad never thought to look in there. If he caught me, though, I was black and blue for days. Like mum. I was in hospital for broken ribs once, and Mum with a broken arm. Mum said she'd been papering, and I'd climbed up the ladder and she'd tried to catch me and we'd both fallen. Next time, when I lost three teeth, mum says they looked suspicious, but she smiled charmingly, as she could, and it went no further. I was lucky, I suppose, that was the worst. Then when I was about five dad quit on us. Maybe there was nothing left around to steal. He never got in touch. I didn't miss him, except with relief, and neither did mum after the first shock. About three years later we heard he was dead. Anyway, mum was left with me and no visible means of support; her own parents died when she was just fourteen, and her only relative was a crazy old sister away in the wilds of Scotland somewhere. She was pretty and stylish, even on no money, with a kind of dreamy, delicate, vulnerable look, huge shadowy violet eyes surprising against her pale skin and dark hair, and kind of scatty – a real dizzy blonde, except that she was dark. Elfin, they call her. I'm small and dark too, but nobody ever calls me elfin; more likely goblin. Okay, so I'm nobody's sweet angel. I was used to it. I just kept so quiet nobody noticed me. That suited me. Being noticed meant getting hurt. Anyway, gatecrashing the party of a friend of a friend – you know how it is – mum met Walter Melford-Jarvikksen, who was an accountant, fair, definitely well-padded, posh and divorced, with an eleven-year-old boy left on his hands and a small mouth plump under a soft, waffly moustache. So she married him, and discovered pretty soon why he was divorced. His name was about right; he really was a wally, a pompous oily prat, and sarky with it whenever he'd had a drink, even a sherry, which with business lunches and so on was a fair bit of the time. He treated her like a child, with no respect. And even less for me.

This article analyses the sources of technological change in the Spanish food and drink industry (F&DI). The increasing importance of technical change has called for a better understanding of the innovation process and sources of technical advances in particular. The article examines the generally accepted view of the F&DI as a "supplier-dominated" industry. Empirical results show the important contribution of national and foreign suppliers of machinery and equipment to the Spanish F&DI's technological level. However, Spain F&DI's reliance on externally generated technology has brought about low levels of technological autonomy in general, and process technology in particular. Logistic regression analysis underlines the importance of in-house technological capabilities in innovation, and thereby the problems an industry faces if it largely relies on external sources of technical change as opposed to internal developments.

As if our Constitutional rights haven't been pissed upon enough, here comes another doozy. The Justice Department has proposed a new domestic spying measure that would make it easier for state and local police to collect intelligence about Americans, share the sensitive data with federal agencies and retain it for at least 10 years. ... law enforcement agencies would be allowed to target groups as well as individuals, and to launch a criminal intelligence investigation based on the suspicion that a target is engaged in terrorism or providing material support to terrorists. They also could share results with a constellation of federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and others in many cases. ...Michael German, policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, said the proposed rule may be misunderstood as permitting police to collect intelligence even when no underlying crime is suspected, such as when a person gives money to a charity that independently gives money to a group later designated a terrorist organization.

John Edwards Affair Redux - IOKIYAR
Can you believe these hypocritical motherfuckers? Sean Hannity has to be the biggest Republican ass kisser of them all. You'd think these imbeciles would have a working brain cell in their combined heads to figure out that if your Republican nominee for president has admitted to cheating on his first wife, then you might want to rethink your criticism of the Democrat who ran and lost the nomination of the same offense. It's just another case of It's O.K. If You Are Republican.Hannity: "I'm not getting this. Explain to me and I'm wondering if you can't keep the promise to your family, can't keep your promise to your wife, you're having an affair, you're lying about the affair repeatedly, why should the American people trust you when you say you're not going to lie to them? Why should we trust you?"
Luckily, Alan Colmes gives the GOP talking heads a slap-in-the-face wake up call in reminding them that their Republican nominee is guilty of the same fucking thing!Colmes: "And by the way, that's a great question Sean asks and so Amanda, if that's true and you can't trust somebody who had an affair. How can we trust John McCain to be President of the United States—he cheated on by his own admission on his first wife, he didn't keep his martial vows, he didn't keep his pledge to his first family…"
How can Hannity defend this?! And yet he tries. This idiot thinks that if you've spent time in a POW camp and if it was such a long time ago, that it's okay. I didn't know there was a moral statute of limitations on infidelity.Hannity: "Thirty years ago after five and a half years of being a POW! ...He was in a prisoner of war camp! [He cheated on his wife] after five and a half years in prisoner of war camp!"
Lord, what fools these Republicans be!
(The fun starts at about the 3 minute mark.)
On the bright side, the distraction of discussing a person who cheated on his spouse and ISN'T running for president is better than an hour long show calling the presumptive Democratic nominee a secret Manchurian candidate jihadist.

Through The Looking Glass
Geroge W. Bush: ...Russia has invaded a sovereign neighboring state and threatens a democratic government elected by its people. Such an action is unacceptable in the 21st century.
...Russia's government must respect Georgia's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
...Russia's actions this week have raised serious questions about its intentions in Georgia and the region. These actions have substantially damaged Russia's standing in the world...
I suppose he thinks that the rest of the world has never heard of a little sovereign country call Iraq.

Isaac Hayes Dies at 65
...For much of the 1960s and into the '70s he was one of the principal songwriters and performers for Stax Records, the trailblazing Memphis R&B label, and in the 1990s he revived his career by providing the voice for the amorous and wise Chef on the cable television show "South Park."

In this topic: Date Codes: Alphabetic & Alphanumeric In 1979, Weber began using an alphabetic date code to represent the model year of each Weber charcoal grill. The code was stamped into the lid vent damper of all Weber charcoal grills. On the Weber Bullet, you'll also find the code stamped into the three vent dampers on the charcoal bowl. Initially, the date code was a single letter, starting with the letter A in 1979 and ending with the letter P in 1993. Since the WSM was first introduced for the 1981 model year, most of the oldest cookers have a C date code, but a few have a B date code. Starting in 1994, Weber switched to a two-letter code based on the word "AUTHORIZED", where A = 1, U = 2, T = 3, H = 4, O = 5, R = 6, I = 7, Z = 8, E = 9, and D = 0. For example, the code EZ is 98 for 1998, DD is 00 for 2000, AU is 12 for 2012, and so on. Starting in 2013, in addition to the two-letter date code, Weber introduced a new alphanumeric serial number consisting of two letters + seven numbers. The serial number is etched into the lid vent damper only and is also printed on the carton barcode. The two letters represent the year of manufacture based on the word "CONSUMABLE", where C = 1, O = 2, N = 3, S = 4, U = 5, M = 6, A = 7, B = 8, L = 9, and E = 0. For example, CNxxxxxxx is 13 for 2013, CSxxxxxxx is 14 for 2014, and so on. It seems likely that the older two-letter code will be discontinued at some point in the future, given that it duplicates the function of the newer alphanumeric serial number. At the time of this writing in 2014, both continue to be used together on Weber grills. Here's the list of alphabetic date codes and their corresponding years:
Here's the list of alphanumeric serial number date codes and their corresponding years:
Date Code Represents Model Year, Not Calendar Year Note that Weber's model year is not a calendar year. The Weber model year runs from October 1 to September 30. For example, a grill with date code AT or serial number CNxxxxxxx is part of the 2013 model year. It may have been manufactured anytime between 10/1/2013 and 9/30/2014. Of course, this is not a hard and fast rule. The case of a B date code WSM indicating 1980 when the WSM was first introduced in 1981 is an example. Another case is the pre-production 14.5" WSM that Weber provided to me for evaluation in September, 2013. It came with an AT date code and CNxxxxxxx serial number indicating 2013, even though this new cooker was part of the 2014 model year. Also, we have long suspected that over the years, it's been common practice for leftover vent dampers to be carried over from the previous model year and used in production in the new model year until they ran out. It will be interesting to see if we can discern a difference in the years moving forward, given the new alphanumeric serial numbers that appear to be laser-engraved on each lid vent damper.
Here are some examples of date codes and serial numbers. Photo 1 shows the two-letter code EE on a 18.5" Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker manufactured in 1999. This code appears on all four WSM vent dampers. Photo 2 shows the two-letter code AT and the alphanumeric serial number CN1794048 on a pre-production 14.5" WSM manufactured in the summer of 2013 in anticipation of the 2014 model year. Photo 3 shows the two-letter code AH and the alphanumeric serial number CS0395314 on a 22.5" Weber kettle manufactured in 2014. Photo 4 shows the alphanumeric serial number CS0987432 on the carton barcode of a Weber Smokey Joe manufactured in 2014. Alphabetic Date Code Doubles As Serial Number If you call Weber Customer Service for a warranty claim or to purchase a replacement part, the phone representative may ask for the "serial number" stamped into the lid vent damper. If you have a Weber grill manufactured prior to 2013, the "serial number" they are asking for is really the one- or two-letter alphabetic date code. Some people have reported Weber smokers without date codes. This is a simple manufacturing error, but it makes warranty claims difficult because you cannot provide your "serial number". However, if can you remember the year in which you bought your grill, you can find your "serial number" in the Code Values List. Note that Weber grills manufactured prior to 1979 do not have date codes. The age of these grills can be estimated by certain characteristics of the grill itself, including handle material (metal vs. wood), patent numbers on the lid vent damper, and the wheel/triangular base design. I don't have superior code-breaking skills...I just know people who know things. In 2001, an insider divulged the alphabetic date code over dinner and drinks at the Weber Grill Restaurant in Lombard, IL. In 2014, an insider passed along the secret of how the date code was embedded in the alphanumeric serial number. The Smokey Mountain Cooker made its debut as part of Weber's 1981 model year. Most of those first-year grills were stamped with a "C" date code, but a smaller number were stamped with a "B" because they were manufactured in 1980 leading into the 1981 model year. The "C" Club was established as a fun way to recognize the proud owners of these first-year Weber smokers. Unfortunately, the club was named many years before we understood that there were some "B" smokers out there! Oh well, too late to change the name now! We're sticking with The "C" Club. To join this exclusive club, send me an e-mail including your name, city/state, some background on how you got your WSM, and a digital photo of your cooker with "B" or "C" clearly stamped on the vent damper, and I will add you to the list below. Scott Zoellner, Sandwich, IL
Searching Craigslist one day, Scott says, "I came across this beautiful 'C' code 18.5" WSM. It's in great shape with just a little rust on the legs and missing the access door knob. It was being sold as part of a pre-estate sale by a great guy. He sold it to me for $30. Needless to say I'm very happy with the find and the condition."
Clark Hodgson, Wyocena, WI
"I was driving past my neighbor's place in Wyocena, WI on Memorial Day weekend 2006 while they were having a garage sale. I saw what I thought for sure was a WSM sitting in his driveway. It was a little rusty, the access door and legs anyway, but appeared to be in excellent condition otherwise. "My neighbor had a price tag on it of $20.00. He said, 'Don't buy that because then you'll have to cook!' I told him I used my Brinkman to cook all the time. Since I am his neighbor, he said $10.00 would take it away. I couldn't pass up that deal. "So I came back with my truck, loaded it up, took it home and gave it a good cleaning. All of the porcelain was in really good shape. The grates were all rusty, but a wire brush took care of that. Since it did not have a thermometer, I searched the Web for retrofit ideas, which is how I happened on your site and learned about the date codes." Clark cleaned up the old steel legs as best he could, but took a wire brush to the steel access door and sprayed it with black barbecue paint to make it look better.
Clark Hodgson, Wyocena, WI
"Last year (2012), I picked up a 'C' WSM from Craigslist and finally got around to cleaning it up and getting some pics. Of course, I can't just find any 'C' WSM. No, it has to be one with anomalies. "I have attached three pics for your viewing pleasure. One shows the top vent with an unmistakable 'C' stamp and a partial 'D' stamp (Photo 4). One shows a bottom vent with very visible 'C' and 'D' stamps (Photo 5). The other is just a shot of the WSM out in the yard. "It has some condition issues, porcelain chips, a little rust on the legs, banged up water pan, but all in all it's in good shape, and now has a good home."
Michael Mcintryre "(My WSM is) currently serving vacation duty near Yosemite," says Michael. "I think I paid $150 for it back then. Over 20 years, and still a friend."
Catherine Lambrecht "I bought mine at the Ace Hardware store in Lake Forest, IL at the end of the season for around $100. It was their floor model, which was already assembled."
Mike DiRubbio
"Here is a picture of my old bullet. My wife seems to think we bought the smoker in Spring 1982."
John Wells, Overland Park, KS
"I had to laugh when I saw the note about the 'C' club on New Years Day 2005. I was smoking a turkey and realized when loading the charcoal, that I need a new charcoal grate. It's FINALLY giving out. I was checking your website and saw the thing about the letters stamped into the vents. "This has been one great smoker, consistent and easy to use! I can't remember where I got it or what I paid for it, but I'll buy another for sure—when this one can't be used anymore!"
Edward Dannewitz, Overland
Park, KS
"Although it's not in top shape, my 'C' model WSM still cooks up a storm. My father found this gem for me approximately 12 years ago sitting in a moving sale. Asking price was $15.00 and he talked them down to $5.00. Didn't fully appreciate what he had gotten me until I found out what it was and what real Q'ing was about. I now own three, and all are being used in competitions yearly."
Greg Urganus
"Just joined TVWB and thought I'd send in my application for the 'C' Club. I inherited it several years ago from a friend going through a bad divorce. She was just going to put it out with the trash, getting rid of all his stuff. She gave it to me for free, just had to go and pick it up. Since then I've put it to extremely good use."
Jim Pfefferle, Pewaukee, WI
"I rescued this badboy from the back porch of my sister's place, where it had gathered dust since my father's passing five years ago. Before looking, I was pretty confident it would be a 'C' model, since my Dad was always trying out new grills and loved Weber products. I now consider this WSM a family heirloom."
Bill Nipe, Birchwood, WI -
Model 1880
"I was attending an estate auction when I came across a box which appeared to have a small charcoal grill in it. Upon further inspection, I noticed it was a Weber smoker. "I was sure someone was gonna outbid me, but I won at $18. When I got home, I removed the smoker from the box and found out that it had never been used. I did not know much about the art of smoking or about these smokers until I stumbled across your site. "Well, I have been smoking this little guy every weekend since and the whole family loves the meals this thing turns out. This smoker has been a blast to use along with your site, and it will be smoking for a long time to come."
Craig Smith, Chattanooga, TN
"I was talking at work about building a drum smoker and a girl I work with overheard me. She said her husband had an old smoker that doesn't get used at all and offered to call him to see if it was something he wanted to get rid of. Turned out that he was, and this smoker has the date code of "C". "Thanks for putting a website like this up and thanks for all the info to use my new to me old Smokey Mountain."
Clay Houser, Topeka, KS
"I was looking at Big Green Eggs online, but I was appalled at their price and weight, so I was searching for a better alternative when I came across The Virtual Weber Bullet. The site convinced me (pretty easily) that a WSM was what I needed, so I started searching Craigslist and found one for sale about 60 miles away in Kansas City. The pictures looked great, and when I got there the next day I found a well-used but wonderfully maintained WSM, so I paid the man and took it home! "The previous owner was a BBQ enthusiast and he'd already changed to a Brinkman water pan and installed a Tel-Tru thermometer, so I was ready to go as soon as I got home and I haven't slowed down since. It was a huge surprise to find out that this WSM left the factory two years before I was born and it still cooks like a dream!"
Lu Bennett, IL
"We found your website after
we had the pleasure and excitement of finding a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker at
an estate sale. We love our Weber Performer but have always wanted to have a
smoker. Postscript Lu contacted Weber about this pristine WSM and agreed to trade it for a new 2009 WSM. Lu says that "it just feels right" for this "C" WSM to return to Weber headquarters in Palatine, IL where it will take its place alongside other historic Weber charcoal grills. Way to go, Lu!
Frits de Jonge, Nijmegen,
Netherlands - Model 1880
"Today I saw an advertisement for a WSM on a second-hand website in the Netherlands," writes Frits. "From the pictures, it was clear that it was a small Model 1880. When I phoned, they told me that the letter C was stamped on the top vent. I immediately closed the deal and jumped in the car to collect it. "Although it has some imperfections—the enamel on the bottom rim is not perfect, the bottom grill is missing, and it's not perfectly round anymore—the rest it still looks great. The original booklet was present as well. "The owner told me that he had received this smoker from his sister in Scotland, but they never used it. As you can imagine, I am very pleased to own such an old, special WSM." Roger Fecher, Cincinnati, OH
"After deciding that a Weber Smokey Mountain was the best bet for great BBQ at a reasonable price, I set off to find a smoker. I found this smoker through an online estate auction. The colored manual pictured in the auction led me to believe that it was an early model. As I read more, I got excited that I could be looking at an early 1980s model of the WSM. A few others drove the price up to $80, which I was glad to pay. "When I picked up the item I was pleased to find that the only parts that needed to be replaced were the food grates. It even came with the original teak wood handle in good condition as well as the original assembly guide and full color manual. I got excited when I saw the C date code stamp. I opted to purchase a new door since the original had obvious air gaps and was rather rusty due to its time in the elements. (Uncovered on a patio for who knows how long.) I was amazed at the wonderful condition of the rest of the unit. The legs are rusted over, but the porcelain finish is still in great condition. The charcoal grate is a bit rusty, but perfectly usable." |

This holiday movie takes a stereotype and pours on the syrup.
Robert DeNiro and Drew Barrymore in "Everybody's Fine"
Following Bob Dylan's Christmas album in the gallery of dubious yuletide entertainment comes Robert De Niro's Christmas movie. When we meet De Niro, a solitary guy vacuuming his generic suburban ranch house, we think: witness relocation program. In a minute we'll see a flashback to his career as a bank robber, the heist where it all went bad, a Fred Thompson cameo as the gruff FBI chief who packs him off to Palookaville, maybe a comic montage of Bobby's arguments with the paperboy and the school crossing guard.
Only, no. They're playing this one straight. Painfully straight. The soundtrack over De Niro's housekeeping scene is "Catch a Falling Star," and a sense of requiem for a heavyweight reverberates throughout this holiday-themed reconciliation saga. Soon the echoes of the larky, charming Perry Como song are drowned by the gears of a formulaic plot clicking into place.
De Niro plays a retired widower prepping his empty house for a homecoming. His grown kids are scattered nationwide. Kate Beckinsale is a married ad agency chief in Chicago, Drew Barrymore works at a Vegas casino, Sam Rockwell's a classical musician in Denver. For reasons you will predict if you've ever seen a crumbling-but-coping family holiday movie, the reunion misfires, so De Niro travels the country to drop in on each of his children unannounced. In what universe could these surprise visits happen? Why, in the same fantasy dimension where De Niro's doctor sternly warns him against plane travel and gives him a skimpy supply of anti-death pills.
Writer/director Kirk Jones, who displayed a feel for broad, naive comedy in "Nanny McPhee" and "Waking Ned Devine," is adrift here. He has no grasp of the subtler emotional shadings needed to elevate a stereotypical Christmas flick. Instead he pours on the syrup thick. Jones clumsily establishes that De Niro's trade was producing telephone wires. And yet he can't communicate with his kids, see? The film includes so many shots of phone poles you'd think it was an AT&T documentary.
On his cross-country tour De Niro doesn't tread much new ground. The film's look at family secrets and lies is familiar stuff. Beckinsale's brittle, high-powered exec lives in the kind of modernist mansion that screams "Unhappy! Unfulfilled!" Barrymore, so delicious in the underappreciated roller derby romp "Whip It," does her misty-eyed sweetness routine as an aging little girl lost.
Only Rockwell supplies much spark as an orchestra musician who didn't fulfill his dad's expectations. Rockwell is spiky enough to be De Niro's kin, bringing an undercurrent of angst and bitterness to his role. Perhaps that's why the sight of him wearing a Santa hat is so disconcerting. The other siblings could only have arrived in this flabbergasting family unit via an adoption agency with a taste for practical jokes.
As for De Niro, Jones' script requires him to perform with a sanitized, uninflected sweetness utterly at odds with his edgy, electrical power. This out-of-character role isn't a stretch for the finest American actor of his generation. It's a four-eggnog snooze.
