HUH. I’ve been re-listening to all my Jeff Buckley stuff lately and look what I just came across in an article about Thom York:
As a singer, Yorke is recognisable by his distinctive tenor voice, vibrato, frequent use of falsetto and ability to reach, and sustain notes over a wide vocal range. In 1994, the band watched Jeff Buckley in concert; Yorke later said the concert had a direct effect on his vocal delivery on “Fake Plastic Trees”.[40
Buckley had an amazing voice and singing ability.

Fascism? Isn’t that already happening? How about a French style revolution as in, bringing back the guillotine for those who think they are princely sorts.
My suspicion is they’ll find a way to tax 401Ks now rather than later.
If that happened here, though, I like to think that we’d make the French Revolution look like a grade school brawl.
So instead they’ll just eliminate them by way of inflation.
I’d prefer to stay away from a French style revolution, kthxbai.

Some thooughts:
It’s telling that they made the announcement for Cyprus late Friday, when the markets and banks were closed.
When the run started on Saturday (and it did, check out photos in the news), the funds for the tax had already been frozen. Happened overnight.
The talk about our 401Ks so far has been eliminating the tax deductable contributions, not outright seizing them. See, incrementalism, et.al.

“MJ’s wife is going to kick his ass if he ever bangs that shaker on her nice dining table again”
I noticed that. After leaving a few dents on the wood table he moved over to the marble counter.
Eliminating the tax deduction on contributions ends the 401K unless new contributions won’t be taxed at time of withdrawal, Roth-style.
It’s sunny here too.
I’m not by the pool.
The pool of water by the big snowpile, that is.
I h8 Dave right now.
Yeah, he got that “fear thing” in him after a couple whacks on the table.
He’s young. Still making the transition.
Wow, re: Cyprus, the responsible people get screwed again. I can totally see the govt. taxing 401Ks. They might even suggest that they will, just to get people to withdraw the money. Then, the govt. gets a penalty for early withdrawal, win/win.

That is Indian food, or Pakistanni
I was referring to “native” food of the British Isles. One reason they eat curries is because their regular food is so bland, KFC seems exotically spiced.

Haggis isn’t actually all that bad.
Ooo…
Jimbro,
We do go out once in a while to Indian restaurants, but nothing beats every day home cooked Indian food. Restaurant Indian food is unnecessarily spicy and heavy for me. What we cook at home is totally different from what you get in a restaurant.
The best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had was at the home of my Chief resident when I was an intern. He was, of course, Indian and his MiL lived with them and did day care for the kids and cooking. I was in heaven. Once she realized I was enjoying the food I became her first stop as she exited the kitchen. I started checking out some of the single female Indian residents after that but, sadly, it was not to be.
Jimbro is my hero!

Haha, sweet chrisp! Every bit as funny as I thought it would be. Gabe delivered it perfectly.
HA HA HA. Gabe should get an Emmy for that.
Laura just returned from Walmart with a pressure cooker.
Holy crap! It will cook whole chickens in 10 minutes.
Scott, a pressure cooker is an indispensable tool in my kitchen. Rice, beans, veggies, meat, just a few minutes.
I watched a Wendy Dewitt video on canning meat. It’s supposed to be absolutely delicious when you do it yourself, and last 2-3 years before the nutritional quality starts to fade. So while meat is relatively inexpensive I’m going to put a bunch in The Hoard.
But you need a pressure canner for that. Which can of course also be used as a pressure cooker.
I’m thinking this will be a good way to shortcut a lot of regular cooking, too. Like if I want to make a great big pile of smoked shortribs, Scott can smoke and sear them on the grill, then I can tender them up in the pressure cooker? It’s recipe time.
Sorry I’ve become such a bore.

I would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving. As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years. Well, I’ve done something about it.
A couple of nights ago I was out for a few drinks with some pals and had a few too many Scotches, as well as the usual beer and some rather nice claret. Knowing full well that I may have been ever so slightly over the limit, I did something I’ve never done before – I took a bus home.
I arrived back safely and without incident, which was a real surprise since I had never driven a bus before, and I am not even sure where I got this bus from.
Looks like all Scott needs to do now is hide your shoes.
My mom used the pressure cooker quite a bit for meal prep. I’m a little intimidated by them myself. Yes, I’m a chicken.
http://tinyurl.com/bbw5tjs
I’ve had my eye on a 6 quart pressure cooker. It’d cut my usual crock pot recipes down to 2 hours instead of 8.
I work in a pressure cooker.
I was told not to get anything smaller than a 14 quart. This one is 16.
But, I’m canning, not just cooking.
Need room for a good amount of jars in there.
Yes, I’m a chicken
Then you can be cooked in 10 minutes
Do they still have the weight that spins around on the cover letting off steam?
I love my pressure canner, laura. Makes canning take less time, and it doesn’t steam up the kitchen like the traditional canner does.
I have a smaller pressure cooker for cooking. That big one takes a long time to heat up. But the big one is great for stocks. You can get a lot of chicken bones in that sucker.
I was reading about that- chicken stock in less than an hour? Holy crap, that will save a lot of time and fuel.
This Summer I’m excited about making my own salsa from the garden for Scott. He loves salsa. My aunt canned some fresh a few years ago and it was sooo good.
Laura, grill first,pressurecook later method will destroy the crispyness and flavor. Do it the other way around.
Ah…good tip, Tushar! Thanks.
I’m reading about making paneer right now, by the way. I’ve never had it before. Looks good. Similar to making homemade ricotta, but an extra step or two.
I just applied for a pressure cooker job.
I love some wilted hot greens, and this recipe looks fantastic.
http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Spinach-with-Fresh-Indian-Cheese-
Laura, I need to figure out how to make paneer at home too. Store bought is unnecessarily expensive.
>> This Summer I’m excited about making my own salsa from the garden for Scott
There are peppers in this you know. It has some heat.
Pressure cooking tends to kind of take away all crispyness, flavor and the rich ‘fat’ flavor from food. Always pressure cook first and the do the searing, shallow frying etc.
I must be getting senile. I wrote two comments that pretty much said the same thing. I need some whiskey.
Think stock with a pressure cooker. Throw the bones in and in less than an hour you have what a crock pot would make in 10
Tushar, it’s easy. I started making some fresh cheeses recently. Paneer appears to be simplicity itself. You don’t even need a food thermometer.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/aarti-sequeira/paneer-homemade-indian-cheese-recipe/index.html
There is, in fact, video of Gabriel Malor accepting the Blog of the Year Award at CPAC on behalf of Ace.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Vms3u9Q8EQg
He read it very well. Trooper.
Paneer is closer to cottage cheese I think. But paneer is dry and cubed, where as cottage cheese is chunky and runny.
Taking a second away from the cooking show, and not meaning to start something that might turn into a Blog v. Blog flamewar, but has anyone else noticed that Hot Air’s comments are getting a little…small tent? Like “Unless you agree with items A through Q, 100%, you are NOT a conservative, err ‘Conservative’, and not welcome here. Begone!”
Dave, the best thing about this plan is that I can formulate a nice salsa that is tailored for my own needs as a tastebud-having American.
Hot food just kills off the weaker tastebuds, and leaves the strong ones.
You don’t need the weaker ones. they lie to you.
Gabe is awesome. What a sport.
Why you gotta be that way Laura, with your heat-dismissive formerly nicotine stunned tastebuds and meat prep skills? Why you have to do this to me, with my burned right thumb from the propane starter and already allergic eyes dying which now have to endure smoke from an uneven smoker cause I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing with this grill cause I CAN’T FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS,
It’s like you ain’t hugged me in forever or something, that’s it, ain’t it?
I can’t see Dave’s link. Says it’s private.
that’s because you suck Jay
Pressure canning is fun. It’s somewhat necessary here. It’s almost impossible to can vegetables at this altitude without a pressure cooker.
Or a yearning desire for botulism.
I thought that was supposed to open doors for me. wiserbud lied to me.
Paneer seems to yield out a much greater amount of cheese from the milk than ricotta does. Must be caused by the boiling. The milk for ricotta is not boiled.
So, if you eat improperly canned food, your face will tighten up?
Yeah, it seems to dry out and stretch a bit in the grave there, Jay
I’m not even listening to this food stuff now.
Anybody have a revised link to see Gabe? Chrispy’s link at 6:15 pm is now private.
Botulism sucks
it was awesome.
*goes to nurse my thumb*
And Dave’s too.
DAMMIT!
I’m sorry Dave, that was cruel. It’s not just the tastebuds in my mouth that are the issue. It’s the pain-receptors in my O-ring at 2 in the morning that are also concerning to me. I just can’t do that much chiles without seriously harming my delicate, uhhh, ‘feminine side.’
And I can’t always keep an ice dong in the can overnight for these kinds of emergencies. I do understand why you Texans spend so much time sitting in the pool.
Gabe is probably trying to protect his anonymousness.
Dave’s pool is 30% aloe vera juice. True.

Way back in the olden times when I traveled I couldn’t always tell the difference between Canadians and Germans unless they spoke.
Wool socks and sandals?
It is more fun getting a Canadian out of his socks than a German, though.
I get creeped out by heavily hairy people. AKA Canadians and Germans.
I’m Godmother to my friend’s youngest. The 3 yr old granddaughter kept calling me “Honey Boo Boo” and wanted me to pick her up. Not June FTW. Dan calls me Honey Boo Boo, too.
My ADHD is kicking in and you people are commenting too slowly. I’m getting ready to just lurk the HQ, read a book, and visit my usual blogs.
I get creeped out by heavily hairy people
That’s unfortunate.
*Picks autumn leaf out of chest hair.*
*is medium hirsute*
Sean, if those guns were real, you would be seeing me on news right now. I caused much mayhem.
Oso’s idea of an attractive mate:

True Story: Local Italian restaurant. Waiter had hair to his knuckles. Put bread basket on table. This was 20+ years ago. I haven’t been back.
Tushar, pretty close. Bear with mange=good.
Dave, do you pluck those weird, extra-long nipple hairs or braid them?
AUGH!!!!! I H8 tank tops and muscle tees. If there is hair in my food, I want it to be arm not underarm hair. (Gags)
Creeped out by hairy people…
I am not sasquatch, but he is my brother.
I leave em Jewstin. I’m old and I don’t give a fuck. Besides, they get all tangled up in the normals.
True story.
Guy at work: Uhgh. That’s a hair.
Guy2 at work: Gross
Guy: Why is it curly?
Guy2: She pulled it out of her crotch just for you?
Guy: I’m full. I’ll have a soda for later.
I have issues…
I try to be mature about the “hair in the food dealio”, but I usually go straight to food aversion. FYI, when you marry a guy in his early 20s, he may get hair in gross places as the marriage goes along. True story, guys aren’t offended by nose/ear hair trimmers as a gift.
We don’t loose hair…it migrates from our head to other parts of the body.
Augh! TMI! TMI!
Oh, please, Oso…hair grosses you out, yet you are friends with LauraW’s hump and tooth…
Lauraw’s hump and flying monkeys have never been close to my food supply.
True Story: Diabetics have to sign releases to wax. Infection, amputation, yada yada…I DON’T CARE!!!! (Sings songs from HAIR to piss off HS)
Mundy,
The hair, teeth, and the little flipper hand, are just Lauras vestigial-twin.
Try to avoid the hump-toxin dripping-off there. That can really mess you up…
Thanks Chris! I heard it has the same effect as the brown acid at Woodstock
Query, you guys want me to start singing Godspell instead of HAIR?
I am more partial to “Springtime for Hitler” from the Producers
Mundo, we covered Mel Brooks Vs. Monty Python last week. FFS, pretty much every week. I H8 Mr Bean.
Oh.
Well, alrighty then…
I like “The Simple Joys of Maidenhood” then from Camelot
Guys that like musicals=ghey. Chicks that like musicals=meh.
I take my entertainment where I can find it.
When you are essentially trapped at home, and cannot see a modern movie in the theater, Netflix is your friend.
I think I have seen every Oscar winner they have in their library, and almost all nominees as well.
So yeah, I am TEH GHEY because…
You know, whatever.
Dan is rayciss against Buckeyes. Local weather guy came out as a “Buckeye.” 5 straight minutes of smack talk.
Night all…
Mundo, I don’t give my entertainment dollars to known Commies and D-bags. Dan goes to LOTS of movies alone. He’s not as rigid s I am.
LOL…
Venting a lil bit: My D-bag BiL, open carries, has his CCL, and has brought his 3 kids up to be gun nuts, Not hunters, but range masters. They all voted TFG for the last 2 elections. Reading their most recent FB links, you’d think that they voted for Romney. Because TFG is so anti-gun. Nope. Idiots. Fuck ‘em.
To me, the whole Hollywood protest thing is just the flip side of the left-wing “Fair trade”, locavore, organic farming, anti-capitalism stuff (minus the patchouli oil). (And white people with dreadlocks).
Both seek to repeal the Laws of Supply and Demand.
Who is TFG? is that some acronym for Obama?
Mundane there is a difference because I’m not pressuring anyone to do anything.
I don’t watch much tv because it’s all crap. And there are certain Hollywood stars whose offscreen persona has so intruded IRL with their crap and bullshit that I can no longer suspend disbelief and enjoy them in any movies.
that fucking guy
That Fucking Guy. I H8 him and his minions.
Had a woman today that had a HSA surplus for OTC. She used it for Vitamins and kiddie meds. Found out after the fact that her HSA could only be used for Dr prescribed OTC meds. Oh well. FSA and Obamacare wins again. FU.
Mundo, I buycott all the time.
Car in, I agree. There are a few stars I can’t stand either, and I know what you mean about suspension of disbelief being disrupted. But, for example, when my son is watching one of Thomas the Tank Engine DVD’s and I hear George Carlin doing the narration or Alec Baldwin, I am not going to deny my son his pleasure because they are D-bags.
Truth is, many a Social Con is going to go all apeshit on me because I look at pr0n. 2A types think I am Quisling because I gave up my guns on account of my son. My professional colleges think me a traitor because I think vouchers are a good idea. And so on…
Car in!!! My cousin completed her mudder last year and will be doing it again. She’s a HS track coach and her hubby is a former Marine/ current cop who competes with her. 2 of her sons have wrestling scholarships and they mudder with their mom too.
Atlas Shrugged 2 was not a bad flick. Just watched it on On-Demand.
Hi, Cyn!
How goes it, Mun?
Check out the first Atlas Shrugged if you get a chance. I liked it better, but this was done well and stayed pretty true to the book. I think I was more tickled at how engaged the boys were and how much from the book they remembered.
I’m fighting with kids in RL. I was just told to go to bed by an 18 yr old.
Is Lent over, Missy? Hmmmmm??! FB is not RL.
Technically, Sundays in Lent don’t count. My friends have been harassing me through texts once they realized I was playing fast and loose with the FB/Lent rules,
Pretty good, Cyn.
Was a nice day, prettymuch
I figure I’m good for quite a few years in Purgatory.
True, Sunday’s may not count, but it’s not Sunday for you yet. As for Purgatory, I could probably use a hand with the oars.
I actually had a decent day myself. Took Googleboy with me to drive my mom up north to pick up some papers at her house, the three of us had a nice lunch up there, and back down the mountain we came. At least the four hours of road time was pretty, plus we got to see a bit of snow yet on a few of the mountains up there.
I usually don’t access FB until midnight east douche time. I’ve been hanging with you guys and texting BB with friends. And their loser kids that are all grown up and starting families of their own. H8.
Awww, Cyn, that sounds nice. Where’d you go for lunch? (Starts craving local Mom & Pops in the Payson/Heber area)
We seem to hit Tiny’s almost anytime we’re up there. Good people, big menu, good food. I had a hankering for a Beeline Cafe breakfast, but mom would hear none of that.
We watched Life of Pi.tonight. Do yourself a favor and do the same thing.
Friend I’m texting used to date FB players/Wrestlers/Guys with me. She had lunch with a FB player today. Introduced him to her new hubby. She’s a grandmother. FB player has a trophy wife and an 8 yr old. Getting old sucks.
I usually don’t access FB until midnight east douche time.
Oh, that’s nice.
*cough that is still cheating cough*
CB, had a co-worker tell me Life of Pi was “Too Godly”
I thought that the boys might like that one, CB.
How’s your new x-ray laser beam eyeball?
The first part of Atlas Shrugged was directed by Paul Johansson.
Who was a long time cast member of One Tree Hill.
*cough* I know* cough* you people need to post more. Cough* Only so many books I can read in a 7 day period especially when we get a new Pope and WBC and NCAA bracketology is going on…Burn baby burn. H8 everything. H8 everyone. Points at all of you.
Oso, if your friend is an atheist, it probably is. Spirituality was a common thread throughout the movie. Ultimately, it was quite affirming.
One Tree Hill?
Never heard of it.
Shut it, XB. Paul Johansson was on Santa Barbara. AKA BEST SOAP EVER!!!!!
Well, that’s your loss, Cyn.

*decides to stop commenting to torture Oso; laughs maniacally*
CB, Co-worker. Bunch of Chick-fil-A H8ing Obots. They just don’t get it.
Cyn, eye’s coming along fine. Had my one week followup w/my doctor on Friday morning and he said I’m recovering much faster than most. Vision was already back up to 20/30. Eyes still quite red and somewhat uncomfortable from time to time, but I’m guessing by end of this upcoming week, everything will be back to normal.
I shall endeavor to post more often then, Oso.
NOOOOO!!!! Don’t leave me with the Cali bunch!!
In that case, I’m not surprised at all, Oso.
Really? His IMDB doesn’t show it. But he was on Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, which was the first show (that and Flying Blind) that got me liking Fox.
Mountain Time is the best time zone ever. Unless you are dealing with the East Coast Cabal and West Coasters that Crypt Keep and go to bed at 8
Clint, you need to take a pic of your eye and share it, just so Oso gets the willies.
Sounds like an excellent prognosis, Clintbird. Glad to hear this.
HAHA! I was thinking the very same thought about the pic, Xbrad.
Heebie jeebies. Not the willies.
Great minds think alike, Cyn.
Then there’s us.
H8 U ALL
Friend got a background tour at the zoo. Behind the scenes with Salt Water Crocs. Ummm…no. See also Hippos.
Damn, now I wish I still had that pic after I sliced open my back clear to the bone.
H8ing With Love.
Lalala not listening to XB
We could always link the ones of Mesa’s fingers.
AUGH!!!!!!
*scours photos looking for the time I sliced my thumb on a mandolin while making french fries from whole potatoes*
Hey, Xbrad, got a questions since you were a recruiter and all, plus i figure the statute of limitations protects me
Or when I used an x-acto to slice open the back of my calf.
*starts singing Bernadette Peters /Muppet song that I’m too lame to actually know how to link but that I can count on you losers to know or bing*
Shoot, Mundy.
Also, hate those goddamn “mandolin manglers”
I’m off to dreamland, peeps. I need one more good night under my belt to try to catch up from the other night. Plus, need to start getting back into the routine with school starting back in a few days. Sweet dreams.
Remembers the Xacto, forgets the mandolin, looks forward to eminem covers….

Cyn, no such thing as caching up sleep. G’night EASTSIDE!!!!
I had a friend, that when he was in reception, got selected to reclassify as Signals Intel, which is now 98C, I see. He went through the testing, scored in the top 5% tested that year but got worried. See, this friend was a kinda troubled kid. He went for counseling with a LCSW, an MFT. Does that fall under the heading of psychological counseling or that no more remarkable than talking to the school counselor about problems?
Also, no 2A fan should be hating on your for making a voluntary choice to not own a weapon. We all must make our own risk assessments, and choose whether or not to own a weapon.
That’s a far different critter than the government making the risk assessment for you based on their flawed vision of risk/reward.
You ever hang out at Kim DuToit’s when he had a blog?
They were the ones that got very angry at me when I pointed out that I did that.
XB, that’s the one! (Muppet song) I reserve the right to buy a really cute gun that will promptly be lost to an accident of some kind.
As far as disclosure on the SF 86 you fill out for a ENTNAC/Security clearance, I don’t recall seeing any space that asked for that.
Today, merely having counseling, absent some other critical factor, such as a command reference, would likely not even raise an eyebrow.
Medication of any sort would kinda raise eyebrows.
There was a space asking if you had ever been given psychological treatment. No medication was ever prescribed, just counseling over anger issues.
I never hung out there, but I’d read it from time to time. And I know people with autistic kids that do chose to have guns in the home. And that’s their choice.
The whole point of conserativism/libertarianism is to take over the world, and LEAVE YOU ALONE.
My NSA clearance was FUBARd because of my eating disorder and concurrent mental health treatment. 30 + years ago.
FYI, it’s been…. 15 years since I’ve seen an SF86? And I’ve never prepped one for someone going for a TS clearance. My major concern was that Johnny would “forget” to tell me he’d been arrested in some other town that I didn’t know about.
A mismatch between the checks I’d run, and the returns on the ENTNAC would usually see the enlistee separated, and the recruiter called on the carpet.
ENTNAC= Entrance National Agency Check
Starts singing Gary, Indiana just to Fuck with XB…
Turn it up, Oso, I can’t hear you from here.
Except to do that in the 80′s I need Special Compartmentalized/TS clearance. So the friend chickened out and learned how to drive tanks.
My cousin, Cece, was raped and stabbed and left for dead. She could not imagine using a weapon on a perp even after what she’s been through. Her hubby is a hunter. They have an autistic kid.2A arguments get real at their house.
Besides, I figure Fort Huachuca is just a sucktastic place to spend your enlistment.
Gary Indiana Gary Indiana Gary Indiana my home sweet home…
Well, driving tanks is better than being stuck in an S-250 shelter listening to dots and dashes all day long.
Of course, 19X is just fine for people that don’t have the balls to go 11X.
Geting drunk at the O Club when you’re 12 is better than any of your lame posts…
Not that any of that is true and a reflection on you guys….
I can understand that some people just can’t comprehend killing another person.
Sadly, that’s far from a universal sentiment.
Me? Never had much problem shooting at people, given the circumstances.
Oso, my son is curious. And couldn’t understand why he had to keep his hands off of that shiny thing. Plus, CPS was giving me crap (The ex-SiL was calling them twice a month to report that my son had been neglected, abused, etc. It stopped when my ex found out either she or the SiL would be expected to take our son in if I was deemed unfit.)
So I dealt with it by selling them and using the money to pay for therapy for my son. To some at Kim’s place, I was giving to the gun-grabbers. I looked at it as more lemonade in my life.
I have retard retention. I have to choose not to memorize IDs, Birthday’s, membership #s, etc. It still freaks people out.
Mundo, I’m an Aspie. My Godson is autistic. Life is what it is.
1714966.
S/N of my last service rifle.
XB, the Army was Plan B for me. I was set up to go to college paid for by my grandfather. He died my senior year of HS (and the scholarship monies went to grandma for help in her recovery from bypass surgery), so I joined for the Montgomery GI Bill. I got in on a waiver because of some surgical steel in my skeleton (I think I was one of the last ones to get in with pinned bone.) I knew I wouldn’t last in the Infantry, and almost went for something like medical technician, but I have always liked tanks.
Oso, thank you and everyone else here for making a place to hang out and yak. Days go by a bit easier when you have someone to talk to.
night all!
While I enjoy talking shit to anyone who has an MOS that doesn’t start with 11B, I generally don’t give a genuine hard time to anyone who was willing to sign on the dotted line. Unless they say the magic words….
“… so basically, I’m just like Infantry!”

Cool. My son says he wants to do it, but he’d better get his ass in gear.
