If you can not see any situation for shooting an eight year old you need to work on mindset. I can see situations where you would have to or at least should shoot any and all others. Only thing is you need to be able to explain to a jury of 12 why you where justified in doing so.Quote:

Justification for shooting comes from their action not from their looks or who they are. If his action warrant you doing so could you shoot a LEO uniform? I sit here at the keyboard and say yes. But it all comes down to your mindset and how you work on it.
Your tag line ajdusted...
"Is this "8 yr olds" bad behavior worth me having to kill them over?" Guantes
Get out of his sights while drawing my gun as I take cover.
Then ill attempt to talk him down and see if there is anyone else in the house, cause a big question will be how in the Hell did he get inside my house.
I'm making no friends and prob never going to get any help should I need it so this is my last post. If any one would like to continue this debate in a respectful way or unrespectful one, PM me. I do love a good debate!
As for those of you who say this cannot happen, he will never get into MY house, get real. One of our members posted a story about a 50 year old women getting a beat down, by a 12 yr, 10yr and a 7 yr old. If you think this cannot happen open your eyes. There are no other variables to this scenario, you come home, find the little bugger in the house with that gun pointed at you.....
In all seriousness though, it would no doubt startle me a bit. But I'd have to say that I would have to let a couple of things process before I would bring my own deadly force into play. There would have to be at least a few seconds of real-time happening before I could say either way as it's just too hard to conclude from a picture. It would also depend the time that it happened: Is it when I come home from work and walk in or is that what I'm looking at after a noise wakes me up at 3 am. and I flip on a light? And too, if he's that close to me as in the picture, it would be faster for me to disarm or disable him if it lead up to me believing that there was a threat. I don't know, tough question.
First off, I value my life. I value the lives of my family. And the purpose of ccw is to protect my family. Now if a person (kids included) shows enough disregard for me and my family's lives to break in, with a gun, and point it at us... If I feel I could get to my gun in time, he's getting a few, then I'm getting my family out of the house.
From the image, he could be an 8 yo kid or a 28 yo little person. If it was a kid it may be possible there are others in the house with him. I personally would rather spend the rest of my life wondering why this kid broke in and pointed a gun at me, and if I could have done anything different. Rather than visiting one of my kids grave sites or them visiting mine because I failed to react.
A 20 year old just got killed last night by a LEO while pointing a BB Gun.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Gwinnett County police said Thursday that Victor Charles Le, the 20-year-old man shot and killed by an officer after allegedly pointing a gun at police outside his familys home, was armed with a bb gun.
The incident happened shortly before midnight in the 3800 block of Southgate Circle, Lilburn, according to Gwinnett police Cpl. Jake Smith.
Officers responded to a domestic dispute call and were confronted by a male armed with a gun, Smith said in an email to the AJC. He was shot by a responding officer and is deceased. [The] officers were not injured.
Police said Le was arguing with his parents and other family members inside the home, and, according to the 911 caller, was threatening to commit a robbery.
The son was acting erratically and one of the family members called the police, Smith told Channel 2 Action News.
An officer arrived and before he could even approach the driveway of the home, the subject of the call came outside and he was armed with a small handgun, Smith said.
Le asked him why [the officer] was there, and began yelling, telling him he wasnt needed, Smith told Channel 2.
The officer tried for two minutes to talk the son into dropping the gun, according to Smith.
At the end of the two minutes, the suspect presented the gun and pointed the gun at the officer, Smith said. The officer shot one time and the subject was struck and killed.
On Thursday, police released a photo of the small, black bb pistol they said Le was wielding when he was shot.
The officer was placed on administrative leave, a normal action following an officer-involved shooting.
Would you shoot if you were on duty? There's no orange tip in the weapon... would you shoot if this was a jack russell terrier with no hoodie?.. I'm just about finished making real comments here on SC. Think... triage.

New countertop, sink and faucet
I just finished my master vanity remodel. It was a learning process and Im really happy with the way it turned out.
The house was built in the early 80's and had an awful shell shaped sink that was all one piece with the countertop.
No work could be done on the toilet because the countertop only cleared the toilet tank lid by 1-2 inches. So I took the whole countertop off, retextured and painted the walls. Removed the contractor grade mirror and mosaiced a new one. The new countertop started off life as a sheet of MDF, mosaiced that and installed the sink and faucet.
AND your question IS?????.:whistling2::whistling2::whistling2:
No question, it is in the project showcase. Im just happy with the way it turned out and since it is in the project showcase I didnt think I had to ask a question.
Then come on stop holding us in suspense, Lets see your project. PICTURES PLEASE. :yes::yes::laughing::laughing::whistling2::whistli ng2:looking foward to see them. BOB
Dang it, I forgot to add they are in the "my photos" they should be there if I did it right.

Johan Santana is amply pleased with how his season is going. So are the New York Mets, who were hoping for the best when their lefty ace returned after missing all of last year while recovering from shoulder surgery.
The two-time AL Cy Young Award winner didn't need the no-hitter he pitched against St. Louis on June 1 to demonstrate how close to his old form he is. There have been several other examples, including Saturday, when Santana scattered three hits over eight innings and sent the Los Angeles Dodgers to their seventh straight loss, 5-0.
''Coming into spring training, there were a lot of question marks. So I'm very happy to be at this point right now and very happy the way everything has gone,'' Santana said. ''There were a couple of tough games, but the good thing is that I feel good and I'm still competing. That's the key for me. I'm just hoping that I stay consistent the whole year.''
In his fifth start since pitching the first no-hitter in Mets' history, Santana (6-4) did not give up a hit between Dee Gordon's leadoff single in the first inning and Scott Van Slyke's leadoff single in the eighth. Tony Gwynn Jr. singled two batters later and both runners advanced on Adam Kennedy's groundout. But Gordon grounded out to third.
''After the second inning he got better and better and better, and he got much better command of his fastball and his changeup,'' manager Terry Collins said. ''This is his best outing since the no-hitter.''
Santana struck out three and walked two while throwing 107 pitches, the sixth time he has reached triple digits -- including the 134 he had in the no-no. The four-time All-Star finished June 4-2 with a 2.77 ERA in six starts.
''I had never seen Johan Santana throw a pitch live until this year, so I had no idea what to expect,'' said Collins, who is in his second season as Mets' manager. ''When I was sitting in the dugout watching him today, he was really starting to get his stuff working. (Pitching coach) Dan Warthen said to me: `Can you imagine him when he was 95 and 96 miles an hour?' And I couldn't. I can't even believe how good he was then -- because he's real good right now.''
Santana is 5-0 with a 0.50 ERA in five career starts against the Dodgers, who were again missing Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier and Mark Ellis. They haven't led at any point of a game since June 24.
Ike Davis hit a three-run homer, helping keep Los Angeles sputtering. The Dodgers are in a 1-11 freefall, going from five games ahead in the NL West to a game behind the Giants. At one point, they led by as many as 7 1/2 games on May 27.
Nathan Eovaldi (0-5) gave up five runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings. The 22-year-old right-hander has pitched 41 innings in his seven starts this season, and his teammates have totaled just three runs while he's been in the game - giving him the lowest run support in the majors.
The Dodgers have been on the losing end in every one of Eovaldi's outings, scoring fewer than three runs in six of them.
''I go out there not thinking about that,'' Eovaldi said. ''I just try to compete, try not to let anybody score and give my team the best chance to win. We all know that it's going to be a challenge and a battle. You just try to make the best of it.''
The Dodgers were shut out for the fifth time in six games -- including all three at San Francisco -- and have produced only two runs in their last 57 innings.
''When you're not scoring runs, it's frustrating,'' Van Slyke said. ''I mean, when you look at the Mets today, they got a double, got him over and got him in in like three pitches. So when you're scoring runs, it looks easier than it actually is. I think it's just going to take one game where everyone's swinging the bat well to just kind of relax everybody and get things going.''
David Murphy's sacrifice fly in the second inning drove in Davis with the first run after he led off with a double. The Mets used the same formula to account for their second run - a leadoff double by Murphy and a scoring flyball by Josh Thole.
Davis made it 5-0 in the sixth, chasing Eovaldi with his 11th homer, a towering drive to center field one pitch after an intentional walk to David Wright with Andres Torres at third base.
''Yesterday, Murphy and (Lucas) Duda picked me up, but today I was able to get the job done,'' Davis said. ''Just hitting a home run is a great feeling. Hopefully I can continue to do some damage in situations like that, especially is other teams are going to walk David. Maybe towards the second half of the season, they'll start having to pitch to him.''
NOTES: In each of Santana's five starts since his no-hitter, he allowed a hit before recording his fourth out of the game. He gave up a two-run homer to the Yankees' Robinson Cano in the second inning, a two-run double in the second by Tampa Bay's Matt Joyce, a second-inning double by Baltimore's Matt Wieters, and a first-inning single by the Cubs' Alfonso Soriano. ... Murphy has 10 RBI in four games, equaling the total he had in his previous 25 games and 96 at-bats. ... Saturday was the 50th anniversary of the first of Sandy Koufax's four career no-hitters, a 5-0 victory over the Mets at Dodger Stadium. ... The Dodgers signed 18-year-old SS Corey Seager, the 18th overall pick in the draft and the brother of Seattle Mariners 3B Kyle Seager.

This is a discussion on how do you carry DA/SA within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by 21bubba Hop, buying a P229 will make a new man out of you. Well, probably so, but the plan is to use ...
Cocked in single action
Decocked in double action
my son. Its actually not the gun he needs as he'd be much better off with a 642, but he'll have to find that out for himself. And
when he does maybe I'll get it back.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.
Andrew Jackson
I don't own any DA/SA, only two SA pistols. One Hi-Power and one 1911a1. Both are carried cocked and locked, ie.. safety on. Would not ever carry SA without safety.
I am new to the forum, so first let me say "HI, YA'LL".
I have a SIG 2022 that I carry, wherever it is legal. My model has a decocker and a thumb safety.
I carry decoced and safety on (a little habit that I kept from my service in the forces). My thought is that if the pistol has a safety, I might as well use it. Is there ever a "too safe"?
The rest is just practice. I practice every day... Draw and fire drill. It cost me $5 for the snap caps and 5-10 minutes a day, and it makes the whole process a simple muscle memory issue.
To carry cocked with no safety is not the way to go, and I don't think that was the idea behind SA in the first place.
Only my 1911s are carried in condition 1. Others are carried in condition 2 if they have a decocker such as my Beretta PX4.
I love my Glock 17, but I do not keep a round in the chamber since there is no way to decock a Glock without pulling the safety trigger. Call me old school. :>)
I carried a Walther PPK/S for three years. I carried it decocked with the safety off. That is just like a decocked SIG P226 is carried.
The first pull was like a DA revolver. The rest more like a 1911.
One of the things I liked about the PPK/S when I first started carrying was that I could load, unload, and clear the gun with the decocking lever in the safe position. My biggest concern is an ND while handling the gun. I now carry Glocks, LCP, P238 Cond 1, and the Shield with the safety off.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety), by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. by H. L. Mencken
I have 2 Walther PPQs, theyre SA striker fired pistols. The striker is moved to the fully cocked position when the slide cycles and theres no de-cocker. The safeties are the trigger dingus and about .4 of travel, then theres about a 5.5lb break.
homo homini lupus est
To say that's not a good idea .. is an understament. The problem is that you might shoot an inocent person while handling a gun like that. If it were just you at risk, that's your choice. I believe in Darwin propossed a theory regarding behaviors such as this.
certain things are designed to operate in a definite fashion. we may use words to make it sound like there are different methods--change the parameters/ change the meaning if a word.....but---that does not change the manor the item was designed to operate properly, safely'
DA/SA means the hammer is de-cocked on a chambered round and the triggers 1st pull has iit to operate as a double asction....like a revolver. after the 1st round is fired, the gun cycles and the hammer stays back like a 1911 with a round in the chamber. the trigger now operates as a single action 1911 and will continue to do so till you stop pulling it or the magazine runs out of ammo ( or it jams).
a Sig P239 is a excellent example of this design
to run this gun with a round chambered and the hammer back is begging for a ND and if a student tried it, id....
feel rather threatened being near them and the words id use would be very certain.
You plug 'em, I plant 'em
...kid can't read at 17 (Garcia/Hunter 1985)
Lack of preparation on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on mine
Here are a couple of links to how a Glock and Beretta operate. Its interactive and you can see the different safeties and how they interact with the different parts of the firearm. I am a firm believer that if you carry you should understand how your firearm operates and functions. Knowledge is the key to firearm safety. There is much more to a Glock safety sysytem than a two piece trigger.

Thank you cjacob316 for posting this question. As someone who is new to carry, with my DA/SA P239, I was curious if it was at all common to carry with a round chambered and the hammer back since the gun has no actual safety. Personally, I decided that it would be best to use the DA first shot as the safety, but I am glad to see this decision reinforced.
I will just say that I carry my DA/SA decocked, and my SAO with thumb safety engaged. I much prefer the SA/DA decocked.
On a DA/SA with no manual safety, I'm definitely going with the loaded chamber, de-cocked option. No way I'm putting my sig p220 in my appendix carry holster with one in the tube and the hammer cocked. (oh boy, the jokes we could insert here).

Mommy's out of town in Arizona while I'm here with daddy in New Mexico still.. Apparently she's visiting family and friends.. I've actually been pretty good, but, I have been having my depressed moments.. Daddy has been paying more attention to me.. and even though I still sometimes bite him because of my jealousy of him always with Mommy, our relationship is getting better.. Mommy is going to Ohio for a month, and, I think I am going to go with her while my brother, Scooter, stays at home.. Daddy won't be able to come with Mommy, because, the military is making him stay.. I will update more when the time comes around.. Paws to my friends!
I have been a lazy little pup all day today! Lots of sleeping, although, I was pretty hyper when Mommy's friend Duffy and grandpa came over.. Mommy took me on our daily walk, fed me my food (although I haven't been eating as much of it lately.. but, I still chow down), and played our ball for a little while! We were supposed to go to Flagstaff this weekend to meet our other grandma and step-grandpa, but, Daddy has to work.. bummer! Oh well, I'm going to go sleep some more.. Good Night!!!

2008 Yamaha V-Star Classic 650
Rock solid, most bang for the buck among the 600-800cc bikes
I have the bike for only 60 miles.
No problems so far.
General Comments:
This bike replaced a 1994 Virago 750, which I still keep. I was looking for something similar and Yamaha reputation helped the selection.
Very comfortable for both driver and passenger (wife and kids)
I feel the Virago is a little more powerful, but the V Star is still OK.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

Being physically active is good for you, but it is possible to injure yourself while pursuing your favorite sport. Overuse or overdoing are the most common causes of sports-related injuries. Some muscle soreness is usually nothing to worry about. But if you experience severe pain related to your sports activities, or if you have symptoms that are persistent and consistent, we recommend that you see your doctor.
A frequently seen sports injury is a stress fracture, which can be so small that it may only be detected through a bone scan or MRI. Pain usually develops with activity and lessens with rest. While stress fractures can occur in just about any bone in the body, they are most frequently seen in the legs. Runners are especially vulnerable.Treatment usually is conservative, with runners discontinuing their normal activities for six to twelve weeks while crosstraining in another sport, such as swimming, to maintain cardiovascular health. Given a chance, stress fractures usually heal themselves. However, failure to treat a stress fracture appropriately could result in the bone fracturing completely, requiring casting or even surgery.
As every athlete knows, a strong, healthy knee is crucial to optimum performance. The knee is composed of several ligaments, including the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the meniscal ligaments. Damage to these ligaments are among the most common sports-related injuries that orthopedic surgeons treat.
Treatment for ACL and severe meniscal tears usually require surgery At Saint Francis, our orthopedic surgeons are trained in state-of-the-art procedures, such as arthroscopy and ligament transplantation. These treatments often mean smaller scars, less pain and a shorter recovery time. Treatment for less severe mensical injuries may be as simple as application of ice or use of anti-inflammatory medications. However, for people who participate in sports-related activities, doctors may recommend surgery for all meniscal tears.
Another commonly seen injury is "tennis elbow," an irritation of a tendon on the outside of the elbow that moves the wrist up and down. Tennis elbow may be caused by improper equipment, among other reasons. It can result from using a racquet with a head size that is too small and too small a 'sweet spot;' which can contribute to an improperly executed backhand, leading to a torn tendon.
Treatment for tennis elbow is usually conservative: ice and anti-inflammatory medications. Sometimes an arm brace and cortisone injections are required.
Golfers can develop their own form of tennis elbow in which the side of the elbow closest to the chest is affected.
Baseball players also place tremendous stress on their elbow while throwing the ball. This stress sometimes leads to injury. In the past, these were often considered to be career-ending injuries.The "Tommy John" surgery, named for the first professional baseball player to have the surgery performed, involves transferring a tendon from another part of the body, usually near the wrist, to replace the torn ligament in the elbow. Following surgery, the elbow can, once again, resist the tremendous stresses that it encounters during the throwing motion. This operation enabled Tommy John to resume his career.Major League players aren't the only ones to face elbow injuries. For example, a condition called "Little Leaguer's elbow" involves repetitive trauma to the growth plates that can cause pain and limit the ability of young baseball players to ir y to function in their sport.Treatment for this condition generally is rest until the pain subsides. It is important that young players learn the proper mechanics of the throwing motion, so that when they return to their sport they don't re-injure their developing shoulders and elbows.
Golfers have another injury in common with other athletes: rotator cuff tears. Rotator cuff injuries are often the result of playing sports that require repetitive use of the shoulder, such as tennis, golf, baseball or lifting weights. Physicians at Saint Francis perform arthroscopic repair, which results in less pain and stiffness, less scarring and fewer complications. Learn more about rotator cuff repair...

Cubicle Fever: Is There Life At Your Desk?
People were all like, "That's not a computer! Computers have keyboards!" And I was like, "Whatever!"
When the days are shortest, but feel the longest... when it's dark when you leave for work and dark when you get home... when those partition walls are closing in and you just don't think you can stand another minute at your desk... that's when you've got a bad case of Cubicle Fever. It's like cabin fever, but less rustic.

Expert: Dubai Can Save Dh500m by Using Solar Energy
The UAE could save up to Dh500 million every year and minimize harmful atmospheric pollution by exploiting the sun's energy and becoming solar efficient, an environmental energy specialist said, quoted by the Gulf News. Johannes Waimer, director of the Dubai-based Eco-Logic and an electrical engineer and pioneer in the field of solar power, told the paper as saying the cost effective water heating systems which can save consumers up to 95 percent in electricity costs compared to electric boilers, are now available on the UAE market - but a lack of awareness and education were preventing them from being utilized.
Waimer, aged 61, invented a unique solar energy storage unit in 1991 which bypasses the need to convert the sun's radiation into electricity, is currently helping to develop a new solar powered air conditioning system which could cut the UAE's energy consumption rate by 60 percent, said the Gulf News - Albawaba.com

Whole Grilled Fish Tacos Recipe
Fire up your grill and get ready for some serious smoke.
Grilling fish filets is tricky business. First, there's the inevitable sticking issue. Second, it's really hard to nail that just-cooked-through-but-not-yet-dry texture. Instead, grill it whole. And once you do, put it to work in some tacos.
Why It Works
- Grilling the fish whole makes it easier to prevent sticking and also produces juicier, tastier end results.
- Aromatics stuffed inside and rubbed on the outside of the fish give it tons of flavor.
- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- Rated:
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground ancho chili powder
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons juice from 1 lemon or 2 limes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 (1 1/2 pound) whole fish such as mullet, branzino, porgy, or sea bass, scaled and gutted
- 1 whole lemon or lime, thinly sliced, plus 1 lemon or lime cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves plus 8 to 12 whole cilantro stems
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions
- 1 serrano or jalapeño pepper, sliced or minced
- 1 small cucumber, half thinly sliced, half cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 recipe Pico de Gallo
- Warm corn tortillas for serving
Combine cumin, chili powder, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 teaspoons lime or lemon juice in a small bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Rub fish all over with mixture. Stuff fish with lime or lemon slices and whole sprigs of cilantro. Set aside.
Combine minced cilantro, scallions, Serrano chili, remaining quarter cup olive oil, and remaining tablespoon lemon or lime juice in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Combine diced cucumber with pico de gallo and set aside.
Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.
Set fish over hot side of grill and cook until bottom side is browned, about 5 minutes. Using a carving fork, insert tines between grill grate and under fish. Carefully attempt to lift fish from below; if it resists, allow to cook for 1 more minute and try again. When fish lifts easily from grill, turn onto other side and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 135°F, about 5 minutes longer; if skin begins to char before fish is cooked through, transfer fish to cooler side of grill to finish cooking. Let rest 5 minutes. While fish cooks, warm corn tortillas directly over the hot side of the grill, flipping them as soon as they start to char slightly and stacking them under a kitchen towel as they finish cooking in order to keep them moist.
Transfer fish to a serving platter and spoon the scallion/cilantro mixture on top. Garnish with cucumber slices and lemon or lime wedges. Serve immediately with hot tortillas and cucumber pico de gallo. Diners should make their own tacos, picking the meat out of the fish and topping with pico de gallo and lime as they go.

Best explanation of the financial mess
Posted by George Colony on December 15, 2008
- 509 Recommendations
- 4 comments
If you want to understand the financial meltdown, read Niall Ferguson's article in Vanity Fair: "Wall Street Lays Another Egg." It logically lays out the causation of the disaster, complete with historical backdrop.
If you're busy, here's my instant summary:
Factor One: Real estate
The belief, going back to Roosevelt, and most recently promulgated by G.W. Bush, that all citizens should own a home.
Factor Two: Converting mortgages into securities
Wall Street bundled mortgages into securities, supposedly attenuating risk, but actually making it hard to ultimately assess the value of the loans.
Factor Three: Subprime mortgages
The securitization of mortgages theoretically made it possible to take on riskier loans (subprime mortgages), as long as they were bundled with better risk loans. This strategy worked as long as real estate prices kept rising and interest rates remained low.
Element Four: Quants and options
The securitized debt was "insured" via swap options. Options were concocted by quantitative-driven financial analysts who, in their models, failed to factor in irrational human behavior. "To put it bluntly, the Nobel Prize winners knew plenty of mathematics but not enough history." The result: flawed options models and flawed insurance.
Element Five: Cheap money via China
The Chinese people and companies had high savings rates -- that money was loaned to the U.S. which used the money to make bad loans, start 10,000 hedge funds, and drive private equity. "The more Asia was willing to lend to the United States, the more Americans were willing to borrow. The Asian savings glut was thus the underlying cause of the surge in bank lending, bond issuance, and new derivative contracts...".
Take all five factors, and you come to the nub of the problem: Cheap, plentiful money beget bad loans. When the loans went bad, the banks were in danger of failing.
I think I'm going to read Niall's new book...
re: Best explanation of the financial mess
Comment from null on Mon, 12/15/2008 - 12:52
George, if you are interested in getting into the macroeconomic minutia I would highly recommend reading some of Hyman Minksy's work. One of his central theories was that regulatory bodies cannot innovate as fast as financial institutions, therefore at a high enough interest rate banks and other lenders have the incentive to "create" money. In this case they created option ARMs and other exotic mortgages and in essence built an infinite money supply. I think we mostly now realize this money supply (in the guise of the housing market) was driving the economy most of the last 7 years.What we are experiencing now is the crumbling of all that "innovation" upon which we built our economy, and the money supply is "correcting."Minsky wrote most of this stuff back in the 1930's but its amazing how relevant it is today. I'll send you the paper once I can dig it up.
re: Best explanation of the financial mess
Comment from Max Pucher on Tue, 12/16/2008 - 07:34
Yes, Hyman Minsky, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell and a few others should be reread at this time. I absolutely agree with Ferguson's analysis. Bad debt was used to PRINT MONEY. I even mentioned it in one of my comments on your blog, George. If you look up my writing for the last three to five years I have been predicting this mess. Not because I need to say now that I was right, but that it was VISIBLE and PREDICTABLE but was chosen to be ignored by governments! Does that not make you wonder why??? I certainly do, as much as I wonder about the incredible willingness of the governments to step in and 'SAVE' the banks. Right! Are you aware that half of the largest European banks have been practically nationalized - or are now under like government influence - in the last three months?In my 2003 novel 'Deity' I wrote about the coming financial meltdown as well as the over-regulation by governments that would follow. Conspiracy theories aside, I do believe that there was a willingness to let the situation culminate because a crash would put the right political message in citizen's head: Capitalism does not work! Not being a respected economist, these ideas obviously can not be mine. I found them in Friedman's and Sowell's writing. 'Capitalism and Freedom' as well as 'The Vision of the Annointed' create the understanding as to not why the crisis happened, but why it was allowed to happen by governments.Maybe you think that I am overreacting, but consider the following: Could it be that the European Union is on the way to become the new Russia? Do you know that the ministers of the EU government are called commissaries and that the EU Chairman (sic) is not elected by EU citizens but by the EU parliament? Are you aware that the EU Constitution overrules member constitutions and that hardly any of the member states gave their citizens the right to vote over its acceptance?Has any of that anything to do with the financial crisis? There is a fair chance that it does as otherwise it is strange that it happened. Our politicians are either incredibly inept and stupid - which would be frightening - or there is another hidden agenda that should be even more frightening. Don't just accept anything ... but you need to look deeper than just the surface.
re: Best explanation of the financial mess
Comment from Richard Grady (not verified) on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 18:42
George:I agree. Here's element two-A and six.Two-A: When taking a collection of mortgages, all rated at different levels (AAA, AA, A, B-, C, etc.), and blending them together, don't use a auditing firm that rates the blend as triple A. Get a real rating, like C+. You won't get many buyers on this paper, but that is good. And then, don't act like an insurance company by giving out CDS' (credit default swaps) unless you've got the reserve to cover the loss. In the next two years we're going to see what defaulting on $54 trillion of CDS' do to the world economy.And finally, Factor Six. When you do sell the CDOs (Collateralized debt obligations) to someone who repackges them, who then sells them to someone who repackages them again, make sure that when you buy investments you are not buying your own paper back after the sixth repackage iteration. When the investment goes bad, it looks awful to the board when you find out that the person who wrote the original CDO was your institution, and the person "insuring" it with a CDS was you as well.
re: Best explanation of the financial mess
Comment from George Colony on Fri, 01/09/2009 - 15:12
Richard:Apropos your Factor Six: some of the investment banks are paying their employee bonuses for 2008 in the form of new securities composed of heavily discounted securitized mortgages and other formerly toxic assets owned by the bank. Strangely enough, given the government bailout, these assets could turn out to be quite valuable.

Music Album – Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
Music Critic: Goher Iqbal Punn
Cast: Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor
Director: Shakun Batra
Producer: Dharma Productions and UTV
Music: Amit Trivedi
Dharma Productions (Karan Johar) and UTV Motion Pictures (Ronnie Screvwala) team up to churn out the new age romantic comedy 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu' starring youngsters' hot favorites Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the main leads. The film is being talked about much and masses are supremely attracted towards its release. Now let's wait and see if the film lives up to their expectations since they have been glued to the waiting seat. The wait is being done for two main reasons – one is obviously Kareena Kapoor (she has huge fan following in the world) and other is Imran Khan who is the new heartthrob of the industry. Karan Johar is found chipping in much higher for Imran Khan terming him loyal to his work. The music of the album has been scored by Amit Trivedi and Amitabh Bhattacharya has written the lyrics. Shakun Batra is the captain of this ship who directs the voyage.
The album contains seven tracks in total – out of which two are the remix versions.
Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu [Benny Dayal, Anushka Manchanda and Shefali]
The album begins with the title track sung by the trio of Benny Dayal, Anushka Manchanda and Shefali. The vocals are really electrifying and the singers doll up such a remarkable job that the listeners even get boisterous along with the flow of the song. The vocals arranged in electric style (the robot touch) are what impress the listeners the most. A foot tapping number, it has been targeted mainly for the promotion of the movie. And it does the job with finesse. The chorus in the background raises the spirits whereas the instruments' arrangement is flawless. The lyrics are breathtaking and have been dashed off with such conviction which needs applaud and distinction marks. The composition by Amit is much active.
[xrr rating=4/5]
Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu [Benny Dayal, Anushka Manchanda and Shefali] – Remix
DJ Shiva's remix is magnificent. The version is really upbeat and appears to be apt choice for club scenarios. The musical arrangement is well made.
[xrr rating=4/5]
Gubbare [Amit Trivedi, Shilpa Rao, Nikhil DSouza and Amitabh]
Next comes is the true spongy track 'Gubbare' sung with super brilliance by Amit Trivedi, Shilpa Rao, Nikhil DSouza and Amitabh. All the vocalists do full justice by alluring the souls. An apt catchy song, it really soothes the souls. The soft musical arrangements make the extra beautiful in listening. The crooning of Gubbare in the background injects sachcharine pleasures in souls. The whistling adds magic to the track. The drumming and the saxophone stick out the most among the instruments. Lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya are sugary and above all philiosophiocal having deep meaning in simple words. The music is syrupy sweet to stay with. The song makes the listeners hear it repeatedly.
[xrr rating=4.5/5]
Aunty Ji [Ash King]
The party scene emerges with the track 'Aunty Ji'. The track reminds us of the yesteryears' songs of the era when twist was much in Hindi film scenes like the era of Shammi Kapoor. Ash King's vocals are supremely classy and the high pitched electrifying style easily slips into the hearts. The chorus in the background gels well with the main rendition of the song. Saxophone impresses more out of all instruments. Lyrics are real fun and flirty to enjoy with. Amit Trivedi's composition is a treat to do full justice to the mood of the song.
[xrr rating=4/5]
Aahatein [Karthik and Shilpa Rao]
The song begins with the sugary playing of the guitar and then all at once Karthik holds the mike delivering the vocals slowly and in the background, the music runs very slowly. The romantic track carries the minimal piece of music that makes the song more listenable and catchy. Shilpa entices the souls with her well-delivered voice. Lyrics and music both are saccharine.
[xrr rating=3.5/5]
Aahatein [Shekhar Ravjiani and Shilpa Rao]
The remix version has been done by Abhijeet Vagnani. Shekhar is the replacement of Karthik in this version and he dolls up the job adroitly. Shilpa does fine again. The remix version is more upbeat than the original.
[xrr rating=3.5/5]
Kal Chalna Shuru Tu [Vishal Dadlani and Shilpa Rao]
The album ends up with Kal Chalna having Vishal and Shilpa on the singing dais. Shilpa shows class and Vishal seems to be lacking the punch in the voice. Lyrics are average and the music is mundane. This is the only track of the album that shifts the mood from pleasures to destruction. Not a good ending at all, the track is boring.
[xrr rating=1/5]
Final Verdict:
The musical album of Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu is impeccable and well-composed. Amit Trivedi's scored soundtrack is potentially superb and the songs can ignite the charts by grabbing the top positions on the lists. The makers have all the reasons to smile as the lucrative sales can be predicted in the market.

LETTER: Message to N. Highline
From '37 to '41 we lived at 8832 18th Ave. S.W. By the way, if whoever lives there now reads this, over by your north fence is there still a corner of concrete stuck out of the grass? If you dig it up you will find a wading pool.
We moved to 917 S.S. 102nd St. just before the war started. I went to Highland Park, Mt. View, White Center Heights and Mt. View again.
There's now five houses in what was our front yard. We had a fish pond, several fruit trees, a bamboo clump, two pigs, several hundred chickens and a BIG garden that I hated working in. When I was six years old my mother sent me across the street carrying money to pay the water bill.
In the summer of '46 we went on a car trip to Yellowstone Park and Butte Montana. Either just before we left, or the next December when we moved to Gatewood, I forget which, my mother sent me to the hardware store west across the street from Triangle Tavern to buy a skeleton key for $.10 or $.25 because WE DID NOT EVEN HAVE A KEY TO LOCK OUR HOUSE.
Now there's an ARMED GUARD at the McLendon's hardware store.

Great work man. I too have a mk4 VR6, and I love modding it. I actually just finished my first ever Joey Mod yesterday, and it went pretty well. I'm very interested to see how the door fabric mod turns out because I recently did my headliner and I'm thinking about matching my doors/armrest. Keep it up man, can't wait to see what's to come.
Also, the coilovers came today! They look to be in great condition, they thread all the way through and I'm excited to install them! The only thing stopping me are spacers!
Finished the Driver door reupholster! Just gotta do the other three now :/
Is there any demand for a DIY on this? I understand there is already one, but I could go into much more detail on my process to success!
Also, obtained 10mm spacers with extended lugs, as well as 17.5mm spacers for the rear, with proper extended lugs. Have not been able to install the B&G's yet, but it will happen soon! Maybe next weekend when I go visit Zach.
Installed! Pictures speak for themselves.
Here's to a Happy Saturday! Stay classy!
More useless updates, on a Lazy Sunday!
Washed the car, and installed the spacers. I am now running a 17.5mm spacer for the rears, and 10mm spacers up front. The difference is minor, but the goal was to allow clearance for the B&G's. I think it help the Montreal II's work a little bit better too, even though the wheels won't stick with me forever. I just haven't had the right set of wheels connect with me yet!
Before and After side-to-side:
And just some random pictures. Next update should see B&G's installed!
B&G's in a few day!

haha, looks good so far man
Arete Auto Salon Detailing
Mark IV Thread
R32 Thread
Good things are happening! Here are the teasers
Make sure to note how many threads I have to go down!
great job! Inspired me
12 GLI Dubbin it in NH
Okay, no pictures, but within the next month I should have my GLI lip customized to a vision I've got in mind, and then the whole front bumper clip and friend Ian (idwurks) has agreed to show me the ropes when it comes to detailing the rest of the car to match.
Coilovers are installed, have been for a week. However, I was getting an insanely annoying clunking noise. LCA's are new, new bushings all around, I basically did a whole suspension refresh and was still getting the clunking so I was like wtfux. Señor Zach was helping me checklist things off. One of the first things was the fact that I never actually got the nylock nuts all the way down on the top of the strut hats. I never expected that to make such an annoying clunking sound! Just used a 14 pitch thread chaser and rethreaded both the nylock nut and the threads on the B&G's.
I will have new pictures up when I lower it! I aligned a Mercedes AMG (forget what year) and I saw how similar the sway bar end links were, so I took them off the car and matched them up to mine, and it seems that it would be a perfect solution to keep the stock sway bar, but have clearance! The links are about 1/4" beefier, and maybe 2" longer. Same angles, same size bolt and head, so I might try that out!
Finished the door card re-upholstering, but you all already saw that, plus no one cares about the rear seating setup.
The right set of wheels still hasn't found their way to me! I'm still looking, but I'm not gonna jump at anything I see, I'm gonna wait til a set connects with me!
Slightly pepped up, I got home, took multiple naps, and then got out to shoot a few pictures.
THESE ARE NOT MY WHEELS. They are Zach's, and I am only running them for a short few weeks as a convenience for him. Any confusion you have over this shall remain confusion until he decides otherwise.
Anyways, tally-ho!
Oh and don't give me that "lower it" bs. I'm on B&G's, I will lower it soon, I promise!

I like your car on my wheels
i just like everything thus far
Well, I FINALLY got around to pulling the bumper off and starting the work!
I'd like to thank my friend Nikolay for some tidbits of advice. I'm sure I'll call on him again soon to help me out with this process!
First off, I'd like to present my taillights. It is not my idea! I got the idea from some lad over in the tdiclub. He has a Uniblack jetta, rieger rear lip, you may have seen him.
So I decided that it looked good enough for me to want to do it!
Friend Nikolay gave me this spare set of taillights in exchange for an alignment on my rack, which is flush with the ground so lowered cars are no issue.
I'm not completely done with them, gotta clear them and wetsand and such, but here's what they will generally look like!
And here's my car without the bumper and an f'ed up fender liner
Now, to the meat of this post!
The general idea is to rebond the broken connections from the GLI lip repair process I made a while ago. There has been some cracking, especially from scraping and the bond not being perfect. First time mistake, won't happen again.
Then, I will re-do the rubstrip holes. I was getting some cracking from using solely body filler to fill the holes. I knocked all that crap out, laid some electrical vinyl tape BEHIND the holes, and filled the front of the rubstrip with ABS Cement. Same successful process I've used before.
For the fancy shmancy stuff, well, I suppose I should keep that a secret. Expect something you've never seen before (I hope!)
Now, un-interrupted by text, here are the pictures! Random shots of workspace, materials and such. Any questions, feel free to post or PM!
Enjoy, and stay classy.

Al Maha Souk
What's happening with the Souk convenience stores at Al Maha filling stations? They never were my choice of stores to stop at but lately circumstances had me going to a bunch of them, both here in Muscat and on the drive back from Dubai yesterday. The stores are a mess. In some, the shelves are empty. In most the fridges are not stocked with many popular drinks. None of them have Coca Cola products (my wife is a Diet Coke addict). One of them they didn't even have small bottles of water. The staff were unprofessional. They don't wear a uniform or anything that identifies them. Not even a name tag. If it weren't for the fact that they were standing behind the counter you wouldn't even know they work there. Most were dressed in dishdashas without anything covering their heads. In every single store the clerk was talking on his mobile phone the whole time I was there, even while punching my purchases through.
Shopping at a convenience store isn't exactly about having an outstanding time shopping, but what these stores offer is pathetic. It's almost as if they are deliberately being run down.
