Overnight Open Thread (5 Dec 2014)
China are playing Western politicians for the fools they are, quite beautifully. * Disregard all invitations to commit to any serious cuts in carbon. This drives Western politicians crazy.
* Hold back from making any premature commitment whatsoever to ascertain precisely how stupid your opponents are (and don't interrupt them while they're making their mistakes).
* Having established you're dealing with jaw-dropping, planet-sized stupidity, request more cash than you could possibly imagine for 'climate reparations'.
* Strike a serious-looking pose and state; 'this is a serious problem created by the West'!
* Sit tight-lipped while your commercial opponents agree to hand over untold tens of $billions to pay for infrastructure you would have installed yourselves anyway.
* Nod approvingly, bow deeply and remind the West that 'while this is a start, it cannot be the finish' and that you'll be back soon for some more cash to Save The Planet From The Problem Caused By The Wicked, Selfish West.
* Go home, count the money and laugh yourselves hoarse.
* Rinse, repeat.

"When the woman attempted to drive around the young men, at least one of them pulled a gun and ordered her to stop her vehicle, which she did. One of the men struck the windshield with an object police said could have been a crowbar. The woman was pulled from the vehicle while another of the men opened the passenger door and went through the woman's purse, stating it was empty. One of the men threw her cellphone to the ground and stomped on it.
At some point, one of the men asked where the woman was from. She said she was European.

I have made pork ribs in my Weber gas grill, using a smoke box(aluminum foil will work too) that I replenished a few times. I used a dry rub on the ribs, then simply cooked them at about 225 degrees until I thought they are done. I used a rib rack and turned on just the rear burner for indirect heat.

There was a scifi story back in the '60s', a detective type of scifi. The only part I remember about it was the casual description of a civilian going berserk, and the casual way the hero just avoided the situation.
This was before road rage. It was a pedestrian, and everyone just stayed back out of the way, and went on about their business. Kinda like 'oh shit, there is another one'. I wish I could remember the rest of the story.

To the University community:
I’m sure many of you are aware by now of today’s reports from the Washington Post and the statement from Rolling Stone magazine. While all of us who care about the University of Virginia are upset by the Rolling Stone story, I write now with a different message.
Over the past two weeks, our community has been more focused than ever on one of the most difficult and critical issues facing higher education today: sexual violence on college campuses. Today’s news must not alter this focus. Here at U.Va., the safety of our students must continue to be our top priority, for all students, and especially for survivors of sexual assault.
We will continue to take a hard look at our practices, policies, and procedures, and continue to dedicate ourselves to becoming a model institution in our educational programming, in the character of our student culture, and in our care for those who are victims.
Now is the time for us to come together as a community to lead the way on this critical issue.
Very truly yours,
Teresa A. Sullivan
President

There's a reason for that. They own Aldi. They demo new products there before moving them to TJs. Sorta like a soft opening.
So I was real excited when they opened an Aldi a mile from my house....except this particular Aldi is like a low rent Dollar General. Just boxes of shit flung all over the place, absolute trash.

It looked horrible -- no wonder it was in a can -- but it was spicy and *delicious*.

Wouldn't mind teaching myself how to make some of this stuff though. Making a really tasty spicy queso dip can't be that hard. I just keep telling myself that if I experiment long enough, I'm bound to come across something really good.

This past year I was surprised to learn that I *could* in fact use my normal gas grill (not supposed to be good for this) as a sort of a smoker, a "low and slow" cooker, for ribs, at least.
Managed to stabilize the heat around 210-240. Left baby backs I got on sale on the grill, bones down, for 7 hours (one salt + pepper, one dry rub applied night before).
Wow. I mean, wow. These things compared (to my best recollection) with very good stuff I've had in NC, VA, GA. Unbelievably good. So now it's my go-to thing for certain guests. Also had a big bunch of cherries I wasn't going to use in time back in August. Made some BBQ sauce. OMG. Fantastic. Froze half of it.
So ..... yes, if that was the question. Still better off getting a smoker (gas or electric), tho. Those things are ridiculous. Friend got one. They can do whole chickens, salmon, anything. I see one in my future, but not yet.

The best salsa that I can find these days is La Victoria Salsa Ranchera. It comes in mild, medium and hot, so take your pick. Not as salty or vinegary as most of the others. For the McCormick Mexican seasoning, it almost certainly has cayenne pepper powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, corn starch, corn flour (masa) and garlic, with a bunch of preservatives. For spicier, up the cayenne, but in general experiment with the proportions of ingredients until you find a blend that you like. To simplify things, you can remove the cayenne, cumin and paprika, and just buy chili powder, although if you like spicy foods you will need to add some cayenne anyway.

Years ago I was *addicted* to their Salsa Victoria, which had Anaheim (?) peppers in it. Unfortunately, they made some changes somewhere down the line and it's now got *way* too much tomato puree in it, to the point it seems to me more like eating ketchup.
But, some of their other concoctions are good, especially if you're a salsa newbie.

I sometimes remember if I overestimate the great taste of things I can't get anymore, simply because they're not around anymore. It's easy to romanticize the past like that.
The first taco *sauce* I remember my Mom getting for our tacos was a brand called Rosarita. Dang that stuff was good, and the perfect blend of spicy, savory and sweet. The closest thing you can get to it today is Ortega's taco sauces, which are actually pretty good... but IMHO somewhat sweeter.

Step #1. Equal parts room temperature milk, butter and flour. Add the flour slowly and whisk the entire time.
Step #2. Find cheddar cheese that you like. I like the hard, sharp cheddar. You can usually find it shredded, which is better for melting purposes. More expensive, but simpler. Add that in LAST, in EQUAL PARTS to the milk, butter and flour.
Step #3. Understand that "Easy Additives" are your friend. Store-bought queso, (nacho-cheese), is good. It also adds backbone to your "dip/soup/topping".
Step #4. If you are adding more ingredients, (red peppers, green peppers, onions, jalapenos), add a touch more flour.
-The water from the veggies will throw-off the coagulation.
-Better-Yet... pan-fry the veggies and drain the water before adding to the mix.
-If you saute' the veggies, remember to drain the extra fat and water from the pan!

I wonder if they still have their Salsa Cilantro. IIRC they still make it without too much tomato puree, like the Salsa Victoria used to be.
And, Jardine's used to make a Salsa Tepin, with Tepin peppers. It was the closest I could ever find to a duplicate of the original Tostitos Picante Sauce I mentioned earlier. Yummy but of course, that went away too. But I have found you can order tepin peppers online and make salsa out of 'em, which is another project for the future.

I don't seem to buy salsa much any more. Nor make it. Love it - but mostly consume it at Mexican places or take-outs (which is fine - it's mostly house-made and great).
Did make some achiote pork chops a few weeks ago, using the achiote paste you find at Mexican stores. Excellent. And some arroz verde (green rice), also great, which I haven't made in years.
Need to return to the glory days, when I spent most of a Saturday making mole poblano from scratch. I think I had nearly 40 ingredients; toasted/ground all the spices myself. It was amazing stuff. Used to have friends and work colleagues ask me, regularly,whether I was making it again soon, after they'd had it.

However, I did get to fire off a few from a Mark 19 launcher at Quantico in the 80s. I believe that at the time I first saw the Mk 19 - a belt-fed grenade launcher - I thought something along the lines of "hmm, maybe there IS a God, and He loves us!".
Biggest pop gun I've touched off was the 20mm chain gun on a Bradley. And I almost - *this* close -got to fire the gun on an F-16. Oh yes, in flight. Would have been at the Avon Park gunnery range in FL (flying out of MacDill when it was still a training base, early 80s). Tragically, the CO of the squadron (which didn't really know the restrictions when flying civilians) popped into the briefing at the last second to say hi, saw the mission plan sketched on the white board, and "corrected" it.

Yeah... that "party-favor" seems to fly out of the bowl. fresh salsa is absolutely the best.
I offer all of the hot chilies off to the side, except pickled jalapenos and a shake-or-three of cayenne pepper.
I want my spices to be "THERE" ...after you stop eating the particular item! While you are eating it, you should be enjoying the flavors.
When you stop for a minute...
...whoah!
Once you start eating again? The "heat" dissipates.
THAT is when I know I've hit the perfect line in my spices.

Back in the early 90s, Safeway/Vons had an experimental Mexican version of their stores out in San Gabriel - Tagui's, think it was called? Anyway, it was awesome, Northgate is similar but I think Tagui's was even better (huge bins of all kinds of dried chiles in produce - heaven). Best thing about San Gabriel: all street names Spanish, architecture of commercial strips largely faux-Mission ..... most store signs .... Chinese characters!

Holding a live grenade DOES tend to concentrate one's attention to what you're doing.
Basic was simple for grenading--in the pit and pull pin throw with the appropriate stops after the commands.
More fun was the launcher you stuck on the end of the Garand, the blank and that level /sight fastened to the bolt area.

(BTW... describe 'inexpensive')
Hate to say it, but I think those are conflicting parameters. I'll admit I'm no expert on tablets, but the basic equation is: processor + memory + basic OS.
(BTW#2... I toyed with the idea of owning a tablet, but I don't like the limitations they come with; I want a key board, I don't see the appeal of smearing up a screen with your finger*, and the lack of internal memory is decidedly unappealing...)
<*A stylus is just one more thing to lose...>
Here's a 'joe cheap' model... ($60) http://tinyurl.com/k4plvr6
Here's some examples... 'inexpensive' first (assuming a min. 10" screen)
http://tinyurl.com/ma2c5e5 ($180)
(CPU: 1.33GHz - Quad Core / Android: 'Kit-Kat 4.4' / 1Gb RAM; 16/64Gb Storage)
http://tinyurl.com/ocskejl ($200)
(CPU: 1.33GHz - Quad Core / Win8+Bing / 2Gb RAM; 32/64Gb Storage)
After that, the prices jump to $250, and shoot up from there... I really don't see any differences except for the display, and the obvious increase in RAM and storage (which seems ridiculously over-priced for what they're offering)
Example: http://tinyurl.com/nn8sbho ($300)... for this kinda money, may as well spend a bit more and get a laptop.
But that's just my sensibilities talking...

I'm distracting myself by pondering how fun it will be next week when frat dude at UVA comes out with the true story on Jackie:
There was a party, yes, with 7 guys, but it was at her dorm room.
It was all voluntary.
She even provided all the Everclear they could drink, as well as the
Engineer's hat and an old timey style oil can filled with KY.
And the photo book they created on Shutterfly to commemorate what became known
as the "Train Leaving on Track 69 Party" was epic.
Then she sobered up, felt the shame almost all of us would feel at having
participated in such an event, and her brain twisted the story into the lie
that caught Rolling Stone.

If your kid owns a PS4 or an Xbox, they're not gaming. This I can guarantee. For two weeks now, hackers have been dox'ing US companies an targeting about 2 dozen companies: microsoft, EA taking the brunt of it.
On the cybersecurity front, the US is under full scale attack right now from everywhere: northern africa, middle east, asia, you name it. This has been ongoing for about a month now, and...there's no good news.
Our (cough) cybersecurity arm of the DoD forgot what the second "D" in DoD means. Pants, meet ankles.
And it's only going to get worse.
Remember when you could log into the internet? The good old days? Welp. Enjoy them now. Oh and right fucking quick you need to call your bank and unfuck your online banking. Just a pro tip.

Just FF and pretend you're older like me. Get a nice artificial tree, preferably on sale after Christmas. Will save you tons of money at the cost of trees today.
I never thought I'd do that but did a few years ago. I get the tradition of going to get a live tree and that's cool. But you can make plenty of traditions about setting it up and decorating it.
Plus not all the damn needles, esp after Christmas. I can't believe this Midwestern traditionalist is advocating for something like this, but what works really works.

DDoS is very different from doxxing. Doxxing is very different than stealing private information for gain (such as with credit card numbers).
Are they both trying to crash services AND steal everyone's information?
It's doxxing if they release the information in order to destroy the targets. Can't do that on too large a scale or else you become a serious target yourself due to sheer numbers.

And I'm bound to keep on riding.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no,
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

"Way-Back-When", they were "CheeseMetal" of a sort. I listened to them as "Invasion Metal" for a laugh.
After I figured-out that Eric Adams was operatically-trained and the rest of the band was as good as ANYONE at their individual prowess?
I "respected" them because they deserved it.
Anyone who can get Orson Welles to record on "Defender" -?
-Wow.

I've subscribed to National Geographic magazine since I was 12 years old in 1970. It's the only print magazine I still get. I hardly ever read them anymore; just throw 'em on the pile. But I can't let go. It's a habit.
Back in the 50s and 60s, they ran enthusiastic articles about cutting edge technology: supersonic jets, rockets, nuclear power, etc. They were optimistic about Western Civilization back then.
Scientific American is the same way. Some years ago I obtained a collection of 1950s issues. It's heartbreaking looking at the ads from hundreds of American companies that made machine parts, electronic components, chemicals, and so forth. They're almost all gone now.

(They have several aps, including an ebook reader* with a very small RAM foot-print.)
It can convert video files to a different vid format, or into an audio format (things like YouTube vid downloads); or it can convert a file for a specific device (apple, android, samsung, etc).
For the vid to audio conversion it can do... WAV, AIFF, AAC, MP3, WMA, M4A, M4R, FLAC, OGG, or VOB audio.
(*The ebook reader can handle MOBI, EPUB, FB2, PDF, CBR and CBZ formatted ebooks)
So far, the video converter has done the job, and quickly too. I like the ebook reader since it frees me of the Kindle's 'renew permission' tyranny.

The Deepest End is probably the best live album I've ever listened to - Matt Abts had just died, and they were in search of a new drummer... the entire show was a constant rotation of drummers coming through to pay their respects, and just flat out jam.

U2 back in '88 was very memorable (wasn't even a fan, but a GREAT concert) even though I ate more shrooms that night than one person should in a lifetime.
I remember turning down an offer to see Stevie Ray with an opening act of some guy named Robert Cray - "who? I don't want to go listen to that shit! Who does?"
2 years later, Alpine Valley...
