Well, we're into the Critmass (sic) shopping season, Thanksgiving having drifted off in it's wonted tryptophan induced coma for another year, so some appropriate Cristmass music:

I need some ideas on what to request for Christmas ...I mean other than world peace and end to hunger.
|
Here ya go, Nick:
|
yeah, the boxes are just outlines for me... wow, they just loaded, and Tophat, jeez, those belong in Loaded (magazine)
|
Loaded? I resemble that remark good sir. I'll have you know I am sufferning under the affluence of incohol. Besideses, my Car regisitration says I should speed down the middle of the highway. See, right there at the bottom: "Tear along the dotted line."
In any case, I have not been drinking. Au contraire, I have been eating frog's legs, and what you smell on my breath are the hops. No, it is not I wqho have been tippling,l but rather this ill tuned and recalcitraitorous beastie with the iv'ry smile yonder.... |
good idea Th...I'll get my wife a long Christmas vacation so she's not here when I open my present. She likes surprises.

Here's a link I just happened to open (and like, I think); shocker, it's more photographs.
http://www.etoday.ru/2009/11/fotogra...-shoiniere.php Post whichever two you liked the most of those featured--I've already forgotten them all. 1699. |
nice photo site, Jet. I wish I could read Russian better. But I liked this one
Для тех, кто с песней по жизни шагает \ Video Немецкий концерн Volkswagen решил мотивировать людей на то чтобы больше двигаться (довольно грамотный PR-ход для автомобильной компании :). На одной из станций метро в Стокгольме они организовали музыкальную лестницу, где каждая ступенька соответствует определенной клавише фортепиано. Результат - количество людей выбирающих лестницу вместо эскалатора выросло на 66% Ура, товарищи! UPD. Оказывается это не единственная их инициатива. Существует еще один забавный проект "самая глубокая урна" (см. ролик в продолжении поста) |
no kidding. If I were to hit "backspace" on my etoday page, it would come out to be the exact page you found that clip from... good finding, Nick. Concidence strikes again. 1697 I wanted to post the project in "Found on the Net", but my procrastination wiles/perfectionist being has delayed me in doing so.
What would be a good title for the video (which seems to be a volkswagen prod.)? |

is this really necessary? it's sunday afternoon!! post! :mad:

I slept in later than usual, had my mug of coffee and some crackers ...then I was reminded of you guys so I'm here again.
Thank you for reading my post...if you did. Here's a picture as a small token of compensation...she's quite tall, which in a sense can be considered "longest" http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...s/tallgirl.gif |
Ah, BadNick, you're making my old lappy go "wrrreeeeeee". :(
Installing my new Anti-Virus afte nearly a month of it telling me it's going to expire in two days. I'll be restarting again. 1692 |
sorry Jet. What caused the havoc?
|
No sure what caused it, but I know what comes of it...

I meant I'll be restarting again once I have the new AV installed, which should be around 45 minutes from now (the download is currently at 14%). are you sure we are less than 1500 away? |
by my count as of 1 minute ago, we're still 1566 behind
depending on the processor load, my laptop heats up pretty good and the fan runs noticeably harder....but from people who've commented on this with long term experience, it's not a problem for this particular laptop. In the past I've always stuck with Intel processors until I got this one, which has AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-82 2.2 GHz, 4GB RAM, 64-bit OS; it's an HP Pavilion dv7 ...I like it. |
I read an article on Yahoo about a week ago that most laptops only have a life expectancy of 3 years.
They said Toshiba laptops are the best with only a 16% failure rate due to hardware malfunctions, while HP notebooks are by far the worst with a 26% failure rate. The article must have vanished into the ether, cause I can't find it again. |
My cab-driver/computer guy aquaintance dowloaded this free anti-virus
program for me. Avira. So far it's worked very well. I'm fortunate that this 2000 Dell pc has been running smoothly, with no problems so far. If it went down, I'd be dependent upon the library computers. |
I need to get my butt in gear and pester myself enough to convince my other self to buy an external drive and backup my cyber self. I don't want to lose self identity and meanderings from the past 4 years.
They're cheap, too. What my storage cost then is now 15 time less expensive. |
Some days getting my butt in gear consists of getting out of bed;
On those days, bathing and feeding myself is a glorious bonus. Doing our best, changes from moment to moment. |
After I log off a little later, I'll go do my best for a while and then log on again before bedtime. In between those I have to run out to Rite Aid to get new reading glasses since I broke mine earlier today. Wow, I have a full schedule tonight!

Well some related reliability facts: even though I love this laptop and it's now worked perfectly for many months, I could say it has a failure rate of 50% for me since the first one I got started acting up after one week so they gave me a new one which so far has been perfect. Like most things, it's perfect until it craps out and then it's a piece of shit. Like the two Gateway laptops I have in my garage that were perfect until they both failed in the same mode...not sure why I didn't just throw them in the trash...I'm still hoping to some day remove the hard drives and copy that part of my life on to my Western Digital Mirror external hard drive.

oh, she's very cute, Jet. I'll have to look her up since I never heard of her prior to this moment...though my initial search suggests the photo is not Pascale Petit so I may still never have heard of her. The search continues.

A discussion,of sorts,to add to the lenth of the thread...
Aren't you as mystified as I about medicine companies using the "shadow people" and drawn carachters in theit TV advertising?It sorta looks like folks are being held liable in some way to me.Am I wrong?:orly: |
Well you're the first backwoodsman from VA that I'm agreeing with today, but yes, I thought the same thing. I don't know about these strange advertising/marketing concepts. Who thinks this shit up? These examples also remind me of something I learned from a really smart guy who I grew to highly respect, even though he was a high level IBM consultant, and that is he used to say "...sketchy people, sketchy company...". So now when I see a drawing, many times not even realistic, or some photo distortion of reality, to me it reflects negatively on the company being represented. I guess I'm being somewhat longester than necessary saying all this, thank you for starting a discussion on such points.

In somewhat the same vein, I need to re-watch this film: The Devil's Miner
...because I found it already in-progress midway through (around 20 months ago). Real story that is just as relevant and poignant as the one above. Instead of a synopsis portrayed in words, here is the trailer to the [doc] (-umentary). (click the pic, as usual) Attachment 20714 |
As an aside: ring--had you located that [doc] I shifted you towards earlier this year?
About the horses interacting with interned prisoners as a means of rehabiliation for both the animal's care and the human's being? I couldn't locate it the first go-around (even though I looked for not even 300 seconds), but this time around, I decided to see if I could accomplish an unearthal. Here it is (via blog: greys and things): Greys & Things: Homestretch on PBS ---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ---------- p.s. the woman who authored the blog; she apparently watched it the same showing as I (in early May); PBS has a weird rotating schedule, and it replays certain [docs] years after its original debut. I believe this DVD was shot in 2006, completed in 2007, and debuted within the same calendar year. I'll recommend it again (for the first time here). |
Synchronicity speaks.
I was thinking about that yesterday morning. Thanks for the link that completed this chain of thought. Much appreciated. Two more films: (unspoiled by Wiki) Birdy-1984 http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...8_LZZZZZZZ.jpg Whale Rider-2002 http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...lerider1-1.jpg |
I guess this is the movie recommendation's page, as just last night (Wed.), I watched Insomnia. (the Americanized version, w/ Al Pacino and Hilary Swank).
I didn't think it was that good, more confusing on the onset of it. Then I re-watched again last night, and the thing that irked me (in a good way) is how many actors in the film I've seen before (thouh cannot recall from where) and the level of great acting (so much so that it detracts from the film's story because the acting is too good). Then, I watched the special features on the DVD, and I was distraught to learn that it was a remake of a foreign (Norweigan) film, starring http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellan_Skarsgård (Swedish actor extraordinaire). Here's the link from where I (will eventually) watch the 1997 original film. Hopefully it's subbed. Watch Full Movies, Tv-Shows, Anime, Documentaries, Cartoon Online Stream Downloads For Free feel free to me if it's a good one. |
I agree with your take on Insommia.
I felt that Pacino's acting ability, (in particular) far overshadowed the plot. If you're interested, check out one of Al Pacinos very early films - Panic In Needle Park. 1971, I believe. |
SCARFACE! wait? what are we talking about?
|
come on. you tell me the weekend has everyone stopping to post?!
|
Well, when you need to,
a post is quite a good place to stop & do it. |
|
old end? new start.

Oh, and while I’m on the subject, I’d like to put down in writing my F You to the ballyhooed Miraculous Bra. Oh, it increases your chest by two cup sizes? You know what that’s called, ladies? LYING.
