But just what are these "principles of democracy"? To but it bluntly, there are none. Democracy is a procedure, not a principle. A democratic decision could be a majority of people preventing a tyrant from ruling over them, or a democratic decision could facilitate a tyrant gaining power over them.

Our cat adopted us. A neighbor got her, but she did not like the neighbor. She is an indoor/outdoor cat. Neighbor wanted to keep her captive inside all the time
Just dewormed her thank you very much. She poops and pisses outside or in a litter box in the garage. No moles in the yard for years.

Yeah, but they're worth it. Hell, my angel (nicknamed 'Mishka' - 'Little Mouse') calls me 'Cat,' and I've got more than a few who stop by to visit.
The thing about cats is they're a species we've not yet tamed. There's still something wild about them, which makes their regard and affection all the more special.
A dog will do anything to ingratiate himself to his master. But a cat, he can take or leave you.

Kindlot said it was a decrepit Honda so it probably doesn't have one. If it did, he would have done that already. An older model car would also be unlikely to have access to the trunk from the backseat.

Use streetview to check the address to make sure they actually have a store at where they say they are. A lot of scam locksmiths will fake an address. Once they get to where you are, their quoted price goes up.

But then, the trunk release lever is "just there", immediately between the driver's seat and the door sill of the car. Pull up to open the trunk, or push down to open the gas cap door.
No need to pull the back seat down.

This is true. I got into someone else's car that was the same color and make and model as mine that parked a couple of spaces away from my car. Unlocked the door and started the car. Looked around at the mess in the car and thought "Whose shit is this?" The guy showed up right then. I was horrified thinking I looked like a car thief . He was a good sport about it and laughed it off thankfully.

Backstory: Last weekend I attended the premiere party in Van Nuys for a new album by a new rock band, Power. Doreen's husband, Shaun, is the lead guitarist. (Shaun describes Power as "Queensryche meets Journey.") As I said, my cousin's family lives in Colorado but the band decided to have their party not that far from me in SoCal. So I was there with my sister and bro-in-law from the sane side of my family.
So Ryen got this picture of me and her, which she posted at FB today. Ryen's what, I think 25? Anyway she's already working and doing well for herself.
I wanted to share this picture to say, I know I've complained here a lot about the lack of attractive women in my life. Anyway, maybe I shouldn't complain so much.

My dad was dying. They (Kaiser) put him into a Nursing Home. My mom was trying to figure out how she was going to pay for it.
Her father's estate was finally settled (after 30 years) and she gets a very nice check. She states that it is just in time and she is happy to be able to pay for my father's care.
He dies within the week. Medicare paid for his stay. The Nursing home refunded the money she paid.

They can do that, especially if you've got arthritic joints, which I do all over with this damned RA. It's the vibration. At the right frequency, it can do some weird stuff.
One time I used one, and my right hand and forearm became almost unusable for hours afterwards. Tingling all over, and the tendons got inflamed. I couldn't hardly hold on to anything. The feeling was similar but not the same as when a part "goes to sleep" after lying on it wrong.
It doesn't happen all the time, but it will every once in a while, especially if I haven't been doing anything like that. Chain saws will do it to me as well.

True enough. But Pick-a-part doesn't sell locks and keys, either, so destroying the trunk lock by punching it in won't matter to them.
Large hammer. Metal punch, or short length of water pipe slightly small than O.D. of trunk lock. Center punch on lock, whack hard, and drive it through the thin sheet metal of the body. Should leave enough room to pass a screwdriver past the lock to manipulate the linkage that the lock is connected to. A look at the guts of a similar car would be useful. Alternative to punching the lock in, use a pointed punch to make hole next to it, to reach through with said screwdriver.

Without consulting one another,
Each bought a lump of rather largish size.
Intending it each for a surprise,
Met at Freddy's stocking and laid waste
To all the land.

The thing locksmiths use isn't terribly different than a blood pressure pump. They'll use a non-marring tool to wedge the top of the door, insert the bladder, and then pump the bladder until they can get a slim-jim or similar in.
It'll probably dent the door a little bit (thus they'll do on a passenger door) but it get's it open.

Hillary is a known known. The result of her Presidency would be nothing more and nothing less than America becoming unrecoverable by any systemic process. Another Sotomayor or Kagan - a Democrat ideologue - will be the replacement for Scalia, and the Rule of Law simply stops. Hillary's unpunished corruption inspires a new generation of politicians. Amnesty happens, pathways to citizenship are created, and the country goes solid blue. The vote no longer matters. The Democrats no longer have a brake on their ambitions. Absolute power without accountability now exists.
Trump is a known unknown. His political speech across the decades has been all over the map, and the level of genuineness of his conversion is a thing known only to the man himself. What is observable is that he's always been a proponent of America and the American Dream, unlike the majority of Democrats that hate this country. That alone makes him a better choice, as any political idea animated by patriotism will produce better results than Clinton/Obama levels of hate for all things Western.

If you let something go critical, you get a burst of radiation, enough to kill anybody close by, some light and heat, but no big boom. The heat released quickly drives it sub-critical before enough energy is released to make a big boom.

Sadly, the best pizza in that neck of the woods is the Pizza Hut in Saranac Lake. There's a place in Tupper Lake (I forget the name) that's pretty good, too.
If you're go to the Interlaken, you're dinner will be top rate. If you want something less formal, there's the Lake Placid Pub & Brewery. That's where they make Ubu Ale - I'm personally not a fan of Ubu, but they make the best burgers I've ever had in a restaurant.

This has been one of those weeks. I was late to work because someone rolled a semi on the off-ramp on one of the only ways to work. Granted, the driver had a worse day, and I KNOW the DOT response team was trying to figure out what to do to clear the ramp of a truck that has rolled half way over the barrier over to hang mostly unsupported in the air.

Good. But that's how it started me with me around 15 years ago. Crazy little stuff that involved joints hurting and swelling, and the tendonitis like stuff due to normal work.
My knee flared up one time. It became so painful, I remember screaming out loud driving something and having to jam the clutch in quickly.
It went away, then came back about 9 months later. My father and I were building a new shed, and every day a joint would start killing me. One day, it was a knee, the next a shoulder. My left big toe swelled up and turned red one day.
I figured I was "spraining" stuff. When I could do anything for three days, I realized I wasn't spraining anything. That's when I went to the doctor. I woke up one morning and my right shoulder felt like a knife was being stuck in it.
It was RA.

So Horde oh' Plenty with a tech background.....(after the op sys discussion lately, I knw you're probably around)
Why the fuck isn't my phone smart enough to utilize the 28 Gig plus free space on my SD card to perform its Corporate update?
It just downloaded 840mb, an then tells me theres not enough space on my phone, (bullshit), to do it's thing.
To be clear....it's not an issue. My phone does everything it needs
to and does it well as is. I'm thrilled silly, because thats what I want
from my machine.
Network coverage is for shit in my part of WV and gettin a signal to
make a call an txt requires a booster half the time. So if those bases
are covered the wifi link works at the Palace... I'm good.

For historical reasons, SD cards are treated more as hard disks than onboard memory by most OSs (UNIX treats EVERYTHING like a file, so it's easier to tweak). There is likely a workaround, but it's device/OS specific.

It is odd, the chopstick. Look at animals. The instinct is to shovel as much food in as fast as possible before someone can take it away from you. The chopstick doesn't do that. The Chinese had access to the materials to make a "shovel" for the mouth yet they didn't. Wooden spoon would make a bowl of rice short work. Yet, they never came across the idea.

Speaking of digging holes, I remember there used to be a thing about digging a hole to China. What was that about? Why was China the preferred destination? My mother always forced me to eat her bad cooking with guilt telling me that there were starving kids in China that would be happy to eat her bad food.
China is the last place I would want to dig a hole to. That's alot of labor and effort just to show up somewhere where there isn't any food and people are starving.

Could it be that slowing down the eating process is a feature, not a bug? Makes dining with others a more social experience, and also makes a smaller meal seem more satisfying? Shovel it in too fast, and you will overeat before the sensation of being sated catches up with you. Eat slowly with chopsticks, and you will feel "full" before your belly is over-full.

Well, in a country where food, and especially meat, was always scarce, a dining practice that emphasizes eating slowly, with small morsels of food, would tend to blunt the effect of such scarcity. Meaning, you could serve a scanty meal, but the eating process still takes enough time that you feel like you had a full meal.

No, they don't. You use the back ends of the chopsticks to fill your plate and the front ends of the chopsticks to eat from your plate. Everyone does it so quickly and easily that it's easy to miss it, but it is a major faux pas to botch this and I have gotten into heated discussions over "the Cthulhu Maneuver" -- which is to use the front ends of the chopsticks for the last portion on a collective plate [the fact that I may have done so while others were changing ends is, I'm sure, irrelevant].

Very safe country for westerners, and the locals, learning you're an American, are all your best friends.
Went with my angel last year, to visit woth her relations there. She had me pack a suitcase for myself, and another full of new men's clothes of mostly small sizes.
It's for her aunt, she explained. Clothes from America - were talking Walmart stuff - brings top dollar.
Her relations laughed at manners, and could tell I'd been around Chinese.
'So formal, too polite,' was how they summed it up, and they howled that I ate pho like a Japanese, as they said.
'Eluosi' was my nickname there. 'The Russian'.

Having been to a few odd corners of the world....if you're in the tourist area of anywhere, there is little adjustment to third world life; tourist areas have air conditioning; not only do they understand hygiene and cleanliness, it is a matter of life-and-death for them -- the average inhabitant of Honduras or Fiji consistently uses better hygienic practices than the average inhabitant of Berkeley, CA uses on a good day.
And I can't begin to express how nice people are. We were invited into people's homes in on Kadavu who didn't own chairs. We were walking down a dirt road on Taveuni when we came across a young black male carrying a machete, but were so relaxed by how nice everyone was that we chatted about going to the natural water slide nearby. He decided to take us there and we ended up leading another couple of tourist groups as well until we had almost 20 people playing. We've had wonderful conversations with folks all across Europe.
I'm not saying to go crazy and visit North Korea or Iran -- which take hostages -- but there are a lot of cool places out there.

577 Let's be honest: if Hillary's winning, the ONT ain't gonna be fun on Election Eve.
Let's be honest II: If the Donald wins are we really going to be all that thrilled either?
In all liklihood, I'll abstain from visiting here that night, much less commenting.
I was a poll watcher in PA (go figure) in 2012 and when polls closed and I joined the gathering of fellow GOP watchers in PA's Delaware County, it was pretty obvious by 9:00 PM that Mittster was going to be stomped by TFG. I went back to DE, said goodnight to the missus and went to bed.
Of course, it didn't help that I had drunk two 20 ounce Wawa pumpkin lattes around 5:00 PM on a more or less empty stomach and that gave me a screaming headache.

When your head's down over your pieces, brother
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest

Same trip, I had some time in Taipei. Went down to the concierge desk, asked where the tech shopping area was, the guy brought up a pad of maps, tore one off, and proceeded to draw arrows. I did some local wandering to get oriented [heh], then set off for a bridge that should serve as a gateway to the area I wanted to visit. Never got there, timed-out, flagged a taxi, returned to hotel.
Next day, did my business, then decided to head for the fabled "tech shopping area". Realized when I got to the lobby that I'd forgotten my map. Went to the concierge desk, they pulled out a pad of maps, tore one off, and proceeded to draw arrows. Got out in front of the hotel, looked at the map, and froze.
Carefully went back up to the room, got the old map, went back to the concierge desk, and demanded an explanation.
Turns out, when I'd asked to get to the tech shopping area from the hotel the previous day, they decided to economize and give me one of their old maps.....from BEFORE they MOVED the RIVER. I never found the place I wanted to go because I'd used a particular bridge as a landmark.....and it was no longer a bridge.
I've successfully navigated Rome using the Tiber as a benchmark; I've navigated Paris by offsetting from the Seine; I always knew the direction of the Neva in Saint Petersburg; and the Ponte Vecchio over the Arno is the center of Firenze....but Taipei just up-and-decided to move their freakin' river.

Yup. If you want the whole-house fan to cool most of the house, you open the windows farthest from it; if you want to cool the entire house the most, you open the windows to the largest air volume; if you want to cool your sleeping area, you open the windows beyond the sleeping area (e.g. master bath). There's a little bit of an art to it.

He's afraid Trump wants to nuke everybody.
That's not what shocked me. He said with all seriousness, that if Trump gets elected a right wing conservative will k*11 him so that Pence, their dream candidate, can be president.
100% serious.

Possible - meaning definite - terror attack in London.
LONDON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - One woman was killed and five others injured by a man with suspected mental health issues who went on the rampage with a knife in central London, an attack police said could be linked to terrorism.
Armed police were called at 10:33 p.m. (2133 GMT) after a man armed with a knife started to attack people in London's Russell Square, a park near the site of a 2005 suicide bombing.
"Early indications suggest that mental health is a significant factor in this case and that is one major line of inquiry," London Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley told reporters.
"But of course at this stage we should keep an open mind regarding motive and consequently terrorism as a motivation remains but one line of inquiry for us to explore," said Rowley, who is Britain's most senior anti-terrorism officer."

General Phil Sheridan, actually.
"n all my life, gentlemen, I will never forget my first visit to the State of Texas. I had been bumped over its sterile plains for a week in an ambulance. I was tired, dusty and worn out. When I reached my destination I found some people there who wanted me to talk and be received and all that sort of thing, before I had a chance to get the sand out of my eyes and ears. One fellow was persistent. He asked me with pure American curiosity what I though of Texas. In a moment of worry and annoyance I said if I owned hell and Texas, I would live in the former and rent out the latter. "

Gingy met me, and fell in love with me, and moved here to America to be with me, bringing her 8 year old son with her.
We lived in a shithole apartment in the ground floor of a 200 year old house. Our landlady was a crackhead, but we had to be nice to her because some months I was late on the rent. The final straw was when the upstairs toilet almost crashed through our ceiling,
We moved to blue collar Dundalk, then to slightly more upscale Parkville, then bought our current home in solidly middle/upper middle class Towson. It's been a long, slow, steady climb up.
Through it all, Gingy has been my rock. I adopted her son 12 years ago, and we've been slowly, steadily, movin' on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky. We were able to do that because Gingy supported me every step of the way.
My practice wife, however, hasn't had it so good. She's a teacher, and after she left me she married the janitor at her school. They sold the house that her and I bought (and made a tidy profit that I didn't see any of) and bought a new house in Bel Air. And then they proceed to drive themselves into bankruptcy. AFAIK, they're still struggling. My life with Gingy has been an unqualified success, mainly due to her moderating influence on me. Practice wife's life has been.....slightly less so.
I don't hate her, in fact I'm still rather fond of her (we just didn't work as a couple), but the last time we spoke, she told me " It seems that you've learned from our (debt filed) life together, but I'm still making the same mistakes".
I'm sad for her. As I said, I liked (even loved, once upon a time) her for a long time.
But.....
But......
Every time Toby Keith's song "How do you like me now?" comes on the radio, I sing it out loud, and gleefully, to her.
I don't hate her. I really don't.
But she's fucked up and I'm successful. How do you like me now, woman? You got rid of me, was that a wise choice?
I don't like myself for the feelings that I have when that song comes on.

Some of the Senate's most liberal Democrats, demanding that 22 national and state-based think tanks disclose their donors, disparaged them as being part of a network of free-market policy organizations the senators accuse of "laundering" identities while denying climate change exists.
Most of Europe is already dropping this scam as more and more evidence is mounting that the world has been cooling since 1998 and the US NOAA has been caught red-handed twice manipulating the numbers. And even the former head of the UN AGW committee has admitted it was a scam to bilk the west of money. But the Democrats will never drop this insane scam to further communism until they can get a new scam to replace it.

Why I am voting for Donald Trump and why Meg Whitman and the rest of #NeverTrump can go burn in hell:
Donald Trump wasn't my choice. Not even close. However, neither was McCain, Romney, or GW Jr. the first time but I supported all of them and I'll be supporting Donald Trump with money, time and a vote.
Trump's released his proposed list of Supreme Court candidates and selected a pretty solid running mate. If he turns out to be a shit heel president (i.e. he does the same things that Obama has done) all it would take to remove him is for Republicans to move to impeach and convict him and we get President Pence and one or two conservative supreme court picks. Enough to delay the further decline of the Republic a little. Democrats would support impeachment and conviction because they hate him no matter what. He could turn out to be a passable or even great president. Regardless you know that the media and Democrats will suddenly re-discover that the power of the executive isn't absolute.
But Anyone who votes Johnson, Hillary (shudder) or doesn't vote gets a hard core liberal supreme court and all the corruption and evil that the Clintons will track into office and spurt onto the furniture. Since Democrats will never vote to impeach or convict President loose-lips vagina queen no matter what you get that oozing syphilitic couple in the Whitehouse for a minimum of 4 years at least and very likely 8 after they've fully rigged the system. The media will be on their knees worshiping the dick-less President and the First Rapist. The hard left becomes more powerful and the American dream is further lost.
#NeverTrump are the Bowie Bergdahls of the Republican party and they are walking off their guard posts because they regard themselves more than the team. My dad used to call this "Play ball with me or I'll shove the bat up your ass." I hope it is worth it for them because it's going to end badly for the rest of us. For this reason I have only contempt for #NeverTrump. If that is you: get over yourselves.
Now maybe I can get some sleep.

Before I got interested in Jack the Ripper, I spent some time immersed in the Borden case (for those of you who don't know, her full name was Lizzie Andrew Borden; after her acquittal, she began calling herself "Lizbeth," and she is buried under that name). There are many, many books out there on the murders, varying between she did it or she didn't do it.
Two books worth reading, to get a sense of the social scene in Fall River at the time are The Fall River Tragedy by Edwin Porter, a police reporter for the Fall River Globe at the time of the murders. He leans towards "she did it," but doesn't come right out and say it.
The second book is Victoria Lincoln's A Private Disgrace. As a child (she was born in 1904) she actually knew Lizzie and was familiar with the circles the Bordens moved in. She believed Lizzie was an epileptic and committed the murders while in a seizure.

She continued to live in Fall River and was ostracized by everybody. She eventually died an isolated and unmarried spinster. Her father was quite wealthy for the time and she lived out her life on that.

More or less. She and sister Emma bought a large house on "The Hill" in Fall River (where the swells lived), Lizzie naming it "Maplecroft." While Emma was slightly tolerated in society, Lizzie was a complete outcast and generally kept to herself. She always had a yen for amateur theatricals and later formed a friendship (others called it something more) with actress Nance O'Neil, an act which caused Emma to move out and take a house in New Hampshire.
Lizzie died on June 1, 1927, Emma dying on June 10.

If there are any debates, that is. I think she's perfectly comfortable doing absolutely nothing between now and the election.
She can play the 'high card' of 'not wishing to give her opponent the venue to sprout hate' and the complicit media will play right along and compliment her for her 'strong, reasoned stance'.

No they are not "pardons", he commuted their sentences. As for voting, most States do restore voting for felonies in one way or another. But no, they were convicted of a felony. Federal law prohibits anyone convicted of a felony from owning or purchasing a gun and it makes no difference if they were pardoned, commuted, or what ever.

UN Backs Secret Obama Takeover of Police
International org calls for federalization of U.S. law enforcement to be 'beefed up,' cover all of America
...
DOJ may very well end up doing the same thing with the local police -- that is, if Congress does not wise up to what's really happening and defund implementation of 42 U.S.C. - 14141. This is dangerous. What is most chilling is how far along the Obama Justice Department is in this process. The breadth of regulation here shatters any notion of local governance or federalism. The Obama administration has been pursuing the federal takeover of local police right under Congress' nose -- and Republicans in Congress were apparently unaware it was happening.

That's my take on this too. These polls are all but worthless and only useful for setting a narrative.
The question remains is how many people take it seriously?

Yeah, absolutely. They're so close they can taste it, and here's this gauche person threatening all of their lovely evil.
If even one person takes it seriously it's too many. I think it is educating a lot of people, though admittedly that is all anecdotal. I am also quite sure that almost everyone experiencing this conversion is reluctant to discuss it openly.

Just a little thought from the Z-Man:
. . .this is why guys like Erick Erickson are constantly trolling for the attention of Trump supporters on twitter and Faceberg. It's why NRO has given itself over to anti-Trumpism to the point of self-parody. It's also why the most over-the-top outrage about the Khan flap was from the so-called Right. These performances are not intended to convince Trump voters. They are intended to convince the Left that the official Right is fully housebroken and ready to live in the master's house.

Wahhabis For Bubba
EXCLUSIVE: Bill Clinton Got Millions From World's Biggest Sharia Law Education Firm
Former President Bill Clinton collected $5.6 million in fees from GEMS Education, a Dubai-based company that teaches Sharia Law through its network of more than 100 schools in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.
The company's finances strictly adhere to "Sharia Finance," which includes giving "zakat," a religious tax of which one-eighth of the proceeds is dedicated to funding Islamic jihad.
The company also contributed millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation

Virginia voters need to call their state legislators and demand an end to this "sanctuary city" bullshit. They also need to get their corrupt DMV under control, and stop handing out driver's licenses like Halloween candy.
