Weekend Open Thread
A fence erected by Hungarian army soldiers is seen on the border with Croatia near Zakany, Hungary October 1, 2015. Hungary is ready to close its border with Croatia, except at border stations, to limit the flow of migrants from the Middle East, in a move similar to the closure of the Serbian-Hungarian border last month.

Here’s your weekend thread with something that you’ve never seen before – an East European country that erects a fence to keep people out. We’ve seen fences to keep folks in that part of the world, so….
We’re battening down the hatches at the TAH corporate resort in order to welcome Joachim later this weekend.
Category: Open thread
Yep. I’m there.
Yay Chip!
My dog just dropped a steaming pile of Phil Monkress in the neighbor’s yard.
mine did this morning in the neighbors Driveway
Apparently Hungary has never heard of the human right of migration, the racists. Clearly, they need more grad students.
Wouldn’t sending Lars-cakes over there be considered an act of war? On the other hand, we could send him there to babble to the “refugees” to the point where they scream “THAT’S IT!! WE GIVE UP AND GO HOME NOW, BLEHLEHLEHLEHLEH!!”?
Who does this remind you of?
From one of my favorite websites of all time, and it can be costomized. http://lurkertech.com/corpspeak/
PFG.
I see this kind of stuff all the time at work.
What’s really scary is that some people around here think that they are being productive by producing crap like this.
It’s as if the author is paid by the word, coherent discourse be damned.
It’s Marketdroid, a dialect of Klingon without the sexual innuendo…
or growling
Looks like an insider document from a certain Bethesda, MD company ran out of a home that has a mailbox without a door on it…
It did remind me that while I do have one more smoked sausage link and half a bottle of barbecue sauce, I am completely out of beans.
I will go and get some post haste!
FIFTH!!
Not me
Not first, not a big deal.
Camped out on the couch, knee wrapped up nice and tight.
Walking without a crutch at least, if what you can call what I’m doing walking. Swelling should go down in a few days, stitches come out Monday, but don’t think I’ll be taking up training for a marathon for a few more weeks.
Mind if I ask: scope, or a more intrusive procedure?
Scope job, but they also drained a Baker cyst of about 150cc’s. Two incisions. One is giving me no trouble at all, the other is pretty stiff and looks like it had bled past the stitches quite a bit between when I had the procedure and this morning when I took off the bandage.
Ice, ibuprofen, and elevation are helping.
Might want to double-check with your doc re: ibuprofen. I used that after my first scope – and had minor swelling issues. I also got chewed out by the doc later.
Seems ibuprofen, though not as badly as aspirin, also mildly promotes bleeding. My doc didn’t mention that; he just told me to stay away from aspirin, so I was a “good boy” and used ibuprofen instead.
Not a big issue, but it did result is a bit more post-op swelling than the doc expected or wanted. Or me, for that matter. (smile)
Actually, in addition to the (mild) prescription pain meds I got, I was advised to take an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen AND an 81mg aspirin–the former to help with swelling, the latter to deal with potential clotting.
Hey, I thought it was a lot, but if I’m back at work come Monday, who am I to argue?
Why do people tell you to not take Advil? It only creates damage if you take too much of it for a prolonged period of time. I’ve never had any sensitivity to it or bad reactions to it, although it does cost more than plain old aspirin.
But both are good for my arthritis, so what’s the big deal?
I had the pleasure of visiting Budapest for a research conference and met a bunch of Hungarian Phds that had spent years doing research in the US and subsequently moved back home.
Because the subject matter of the conference include HIV research, one of the talks was about how Hungary had been missed by the epidemic. It turns out that 1) they did not allow immigration by people with known infectious diseases (including HIV), and 2) when a case turned up, they traced contacts, 3) educated the infected person and the contacts in the explicit details of avoiding infection, and 4) counseled the infected person on the subject of personal responsibility.
They said they could do 4) because Hungary is a small country, that does not have that much movement in its population, so it is easy to keep track of people.
I saw a lot of other evidence that Hungary is a well-run country that has made the most of being tucked in an out-of-the-way corner of Europe.
I have no doubt that they can put up a fence, and make it work.
Hungary’s lessons are not exactly applicable to the US, but there is something worth considering, here.
I had a political science professor that grew up in Hungary. He had some awesome stories about the communist days.
It’s ironic that what became the ultimate fall of the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall began on 02MAY 1989 in Hungary, on their border with Austria.
Val, have you ever heard of the US Quarantine Service? At one point in our history No One entered this country if they we infected with any communicable disease. All ships were met and inspected by medical officers. An infected ship could be held in the harbour and not allowed to land. Ellis Island was a screening point for entering immigrants to keep the sick from getting into the general public. You stayed there until cured, if incurable you were shipped home. Several regions of the US have seen outbreaks of very rare diseases recently that were brought in by the flood of Illegals from Latin america. One can only imagine what dread diseases have been percolating within the latest refugee stream. Perhaps we need a rerun of the Quarantine Service.
Why not name these hurricanes after Americans?
Hurricane Joe
Hurricane Betty Lou
Hurricane Muhammed
Oh, nevermind!
Since hurricanes are full of wind., tend to cause major disturbances, and act in an unpredictable and erratic manner – a few other names suggest themselves. Perhaps even some we “know and love”. (smile)
I seriously doubt they’re going to have a Hurricane Obama.
They retire names of hurricanes that are extremely catastrophic.
That name gets retired in Jan 2017 thankfully.
…or an aircraft carrier (I’m sure his boy Mabus will try like heck). last Dem prez to get a carrier is JFK.
Don’t laugh, Master Chief. IIRC, that genius of south Texas, Congresswoman Shelia Jackson-Lee, wondered publicly why there weren’t more “black” hurricane names.
My father was on his way to the Roseburg VA yesterday morning thinking there was a bad accident on the hwy with all the sheriff vehicles passing him.
The silver lining – my time spent describing to people where the Umpqua River is, are over.
Can we get a Bernasty update please..
Just look in the toilet.
Apparently I’m still a 60-year old woman. And hopefully the CA Supreme Court is taking action on the default that came from the CA Bar court last week.
R U Bruce Jenner?
According to the DRG, I suppose I am. Now where’s my Olympic gold medal and my picture on the box of Wheaties?
My only question of Bernath at this point is whether he just didn’t want to go to court anymore, or if he was scared by the rustling of the palms along Figueroa Blvd. in downtown LA?
Just kidding, Bernath. I know there aren’t any palm trees in that part of downtown Los Angeles.
Still a sniveling, lying, worthless, waste of oxygen, shitbag, homophobe, moron, asshat, dick pickle, catcher, taint tonguer, impotent koekeloeren, mumpsimus, douche nozzle, hemorrhoid, Milksop, jackwagon, Pettifogger, butt munch, not a CPO, insult to humanity, Handgallop, twat, tool, bint, sleezebag, weaksauce, Turd-Burglar, rimjobber, cum-dumpster, gonad, dopus, twizzletits, tallywacker, Bozack, Felcher, dingleberry, bitch, gimp, bescumber, coccydynia, micropeen, Hircismus, cheat, Cacafuego, Cock-juggling thundercunt.

Effective Date Status Change

9/28/2015 Not Eligible To Practice Law
Hopefully that status will soon change to “Disbarred”.
Bah! Formatting got all messed up, but you can see it at the link (along with all of his blatherings to the court).
Well, well, well. So he can’t just go out there and set up shop, huh?
Oh, well.
AS soon as the Clerk of the California Bar association sends a copy of the Judges decision to the Supreme Court, that Judge will have his clerk update from still an asshole but now an ASSHOLE. I’M as giddy as a school girl on her first date.?
I see that that toad snot-for-brained unfortunately phallic shaped hedge of a fungus-faced rat turd is accusing innocent men of being me. This week he’s accusing one that he has in the past, he’s accusing this fellow of being me and GDC at the same time. He really has a fascination with publishing slander and libel about The Ladies of TAH®™ as well, and he still apparently has an obsession with Toasty’s tattoo and derrière as well. WHAT A LOSER, him and *SLUUUUURP!*41!
Gosh, the idiot has claimed me to be everyone except for JONN. Last week I was SILENT?
Do any of you all ever listen to Old Time Radio plays?
Last night, I was using my computer to listen to an Old Time Radio broadcast of an episode of, “THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE”, originally aired during the Easter holiday in the midst of the Second World War.
It almost had me in tears, as I compared it with how our society is today, and realize how much has been lost.
When I was a small boy in Owensboro, Kentucky, I would listen to plays on the radio in the living room at Grammaw’s and Grampaw’s house, where Mama and us young’uns lived while Daddy was in Korea.
By the way, as a point of possibly useful information, my computer’s speakers kept quitting on me yesterday.
After searching through my system to try and figure out what went wrong, I finally solved the problem by updating and installing the drivers for my computer’s sound system.
So, if you should have similar difficulties, be sure to check for software updates that might be required.
Also, I’ve been notified that I have earned a Silver Badge for my contributions to MAPPING CANCER MARKERS, one of several scientific research projects that constantly runs in the background on my laptop computer.
I originally got interested in volunteering my computer to analyze raw data for scientific research when I began participating in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (i.e., “S.E.T.I.”).
It’s something you might want to consider.
The analysis of raw data for scientific research that constantly runs in the background does not interfere with any of the other normal operations on your computer.
I used to listen to Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, The Shadow, and Gunsmoke. There were some others, but there was mostly baseball in the baseball season, so I could listen to Dizzie Dean and his ‘high pop fly’.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater was still on when I was a kid.
Loved listening to it when my parents thought I was sleeping.
My favorite is to listen to Bob Eucker from the Milwaukee Brewer’s Baseball Network call the games.
He’s truly a great one to listen to.
Up until about a year ago, Antenna TV was airing The Benny Program. Jack Benny and Mel Blanc were a killer combo.
Well, I’m going to have smoked sausage with barbecue beans in the slow cooker, so here’s how you fix it.
Get your favorite smoked sausage. The recipe calls for a one-pound link. I found that to be inadequate because I love smoke beef sausage, so I bought two.
Add two to three 12 oz. cans, drained, of beans of your preference. Anything works: black beans, light red or dark red kidney beans, Great Northerns, pinto beans: anything, but at least two cans, and I used three 12 oz. cans. Be sure you drain them, too.
Coarsely chop a large onion.
Put the beans and onion in the slow cooker first. Add your favorite barbecue sauce. I use Sweet Baby Ray’s, because it is spicy without extreme heat and has several levels of flavor. I use half a bottle, but more can be added.
Stir that up thoroughly. Put the smoked sausage on top. Put the lid on and put the cooker on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.
DO NOT TAKE THE LID OFF.
When it’s ready, have fresh corn muffins, plenty of cut veggies like carrots, celery, green onions, radishes, zucchini strips, etc. on a platter.
Plate and serve this stuff with your favorite beverage, but remember: barbecue sauce is tomato-based. Tomato stains are a pain to get out of your clothing, so use napkins, wear dark clothes, and don’t spill anything on the floor.
Personally, I think a soup plate (flat bowl with a wide lip) is fine with this kind of food.
As well as draining the beans, do you also rinse them?
When my Number Six (Army speak for the Unit Commander) makes chili, she always rinses the beans.
Yes, I do rinse the beans. Sorry I left that out.
If you use dried beans…cook them thoroughly! Had my own bathroom scene from “Dumb & Dumber”.
Overnight as a minimum for me.
Winter is coming, and with it, chili, stews, and beans with hamhocks.
Hate shoveling snow, but love some warm comfort food in front of the fire.
Try smoked pork neckbones vice pork hocks if you can get them. Much higher meat fraction than hocks, and where I live they’re about the same price per pound.
Just be sure to check carefully for small bone fragments while deboning. Easy to miss a few if you’re not careful.
I soak them for at least 10 hours ahead of using them, Devtun.
I’ve had that scene, too, because I didn’t let them go long enough.
Beans, onions and smoked sausage are in the pot. I added a quarter cup of the red wine I opened last night to the barbecue sauce. It’s blending in well.
I’m going to grab a good book, have a good, hearty supper and put my summer clothes away. Washed 4 loads, dried and sealed in a storage bin with sachets. Those smell good: peppermint, rosemary, lavender and clove.
Chocolate chip cookies are on the agenda tomorrow.
Scored about three pounds of beef marrow bones at the commissary today. Tomorrow they’ll go into the pressure cooker with the usual suspects: carrots, celery, onion, and herbs for a stock. Lid it up and come to pressure and about forty minutes later I’ll a great “simmered all day” stock. Let cool, strain, and de-fat. This will be the base for a beef, barley, and veggie soup for dinner, served with a green salad, crusty bread and red vino. Fine hurricane dining on a budget, the wine costs more than the rest of the ingredients.
I’m finishing off the chili I made on Monday, for dinner tonight.
I think I’m going to open the bottle of Toscana red sitting on my countertop. The label says ‘best served at room temperature’.
Chili, tortilla chips, garlic salsa, celery, good red wine. Life is good.
Report on the Toscana red, mise en bouteille 2011: the label says blackberry jam followed by hints of black cherry and currant, with a peppery finish.
I did the proper slurping, nosing, etc. The blackberries are definitely there, but I didn’t find the black cherries. Peppery finish? Yes. In fact, it bumped up the spiciness of my chili. Nice deep color and a pleasant bouquet right out of the neck.
Perfect for chili, enchiladas, lasagna, roast beef or chicken with a spicy gravy. Also, the sulfite content seems low enough to not be annoying.
I think there are a few bottles left. I will acquire some. I’ve held back the last bottle of Lost Cellars for New Year’s Eve, so that I can have it with pollo en salsa poblano gratinada.
Ahhhh. . . memories of the East/West German borders. Them were the days. I was new to the Army, first assignment out of school, assigned to the 614th (if I remember correctly) Maintenance, in support of the 2nd ACR. I was in Neurnberg, with detachments (troops) at Amberg, Bamberg, and Benloch. (spelling subject to correction)
Us lookin’ at them lookin’ at us lookin’ at them. . . .
@ B. WOODMAN:
Germany was my first assignment out of school, too.
But, I wasn’t on the Border, like you were.
I was closer to Luxemburg.
I was on Team A-2, 11th Air Defense Signal Battalion, 32d Army Air Defense Command, at Spangdahlem Air Force Base.
I remember watching for those Soviet Military Liaison Mission license plates, and the little card we carried in our wallets telling us what to do if we saw one, which I never did.
Those of you in Joachim’s path, keep the hatches battened down and stay safe. Our prayers are with you.
It looks like it’ll miss really hitting for the most part, here’s the latest track cone:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT11/refresh/AL1115W5_NL+gif/115432W5_NL_sm.gif
Here in The People’s Republic of Maryland all this will do is ruin my previously scheduled range day.
Need to clean the AR I don’t have, anyway, and Navy hosts Air Force on the gridiron which should be a laugh-fest given the expected weather.
Last thing we need right now is a repeat of Sandy or Irene.
The weather report this morning says that Hurricane Joachim is backing away from the east coast and heading out to sea.
Meantime, the Canadian high is giving Montana snow in the mountains.
Here’s an interesting video report that I just this minute received in my e-mail:
https://youtu.be/1yUTQlm7C9E
What a load of Horse Shit. Patton never sit up and drank bourbon after his accident. He was paralyzed from the neck down.
There was absolutely no reason to Kill Patton as he effectively was a non-player after he was relieved by Ike on 7 Oct 1945 he had no real authority or Command.
He was put in charge of a small “paper” unit . Although it was called the 15th Army , it was only a small Headquarters that was tasked with writing a history of the European Campaign.
In reality he had less authority than a Captain in an Infantry Company at the time of his death.
Everyone, including the Soviets knew this. He was no longer a threat to them. He was killed by a Soldier who had been using a “borrowed ” truck and it was a simple accident. The Idea of some secret squireel shooting him in the back of the neck with a mushroom air rifle is just fucking stupid.
What an awesome database!

Here’s something interesting. Ceres is the largest asteroid that isn’t just tumbling rock. I think it’s now been labeled dwarf planet.
NASA has released false-color images of the mapping run on Ceres, with those odd bright spots included. They plant to release more images taken with a spectrograph.
http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/false-color-maps-of-ceres-3009201523/?et_mid=788245&rid=247496419
I’m wondering if those bright spots are water ice and which would account for their being so highly reflective.
I got the Chromecast thingy from Walmart and use it to watch documentaries on YouTube. The Universe is one of my favorite shows to watch as I sit here and surf the web for all the knowledge I can find on pages such as our favorite Milblog.
The Chromecast works great and I love it. I can watch whatever I want whenever I want.
It’s amazing the things you learn when you watch all those boring shows that women hate !!!
That’s why I don’t have any women in my life anymore, except for a dog right now.
I am still missing my favorite Phuzzz the cat, she was one of my favorite ladies, I had to have her put to sleep a month ago and miss her terribly.
Also, today is the 212’th anniversary of Samuel Adams death. He was not a good brewer and found his calling as an orator of our Founding Fathers. Here is one of my favorite quotes from him.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!” ~Samuel Adams.
Have a great weekend everybody. And please don’t text and drive.
Yeah, but I love those geek shows.
Stixx, go to a shelter and adopt another cat. There a plenty who need a home.
Boring shows that women hate? Those are my “stop here when channel surfing shows” my husband is the one that finds them boring.
and what Ex-PH2 says, there’s plenty of kitties at the shelters that could use a home. How old was your Phuzz? my furbaby is 19 and I’ll be a blubbering pile of goo when she goes to the rainbow bridge.
My kitty is an old man now and I know that time is coming. I’ll wait a week, wash all the cat beds, and then go to a shelter where they have senior cats and give one a home, maybe two.
I will miss my big boy a lot, but I have a lot of pictures of him and his show ribbons to go back to. He may be gone some day, but never forgotten.
Have you seen the latest pics from New Horizons?
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/newhorizons/images/index.html
Charon with a canyon over 1,000 long!

Mountains and plains on Pluto’s surface!
http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/Multimedia/Science-Photos/pics/Pluto-Mountains-Plains%209-17-15.jpg
Yes! Heinlein kind of predicted mountains on Pluto in ‘Have Spacesuit – Will Travel’ and water on Mars in ‘Red Planet’.
I think he went there. Until these probes came along, Pluto was just a moving, fuzzy bright spot in a photograph. Then Voyage did a distant fly-by and sent pictures with odd dark streaks.
Now we know there are near-Earth sized planets in the Goldilocks zone around other stars. We also know that other stars have starspots like the sun. The Universe is getting smaller and smaller.
and bigger and bigger at the same time, it’s an excited time to be a space nerd ^_^
I think the most recent near-Earth type planet is Kepler 152b, but that was announce back in August. There are always more coming.
Just got back seeing Matt Damon’s new movie “The Martian”… OUTFUCKING STANDING!!!! If you haven’t read the book, go see the movie…excellent work by Ridley Scott
Hmmm, who would have thought the Evil Empire used Pluto as an inter-galactic NTC?
The similarities are uncanny, almost out of this world uncanny.
The world really is getting smaller…

I just saw this news article on Drudge.
http://sports.cbslocal.com/2015/10/01/nfl-month-without-arrest-first-since-2009/
Reminds me of the good old days in Okinawa when 3rd Marine Division had a policy that if your company went thirty days without an alcohol related incident, the company received a 96. We did not get many 96s.
I remember those days, Hack… both with 2/7 in the ‘stumps and over with 3rd Med at Camp Schwab.
Where I work, we have at least one individual that is creating a hostile work environment in the men’s room.

I think it was Ben Franklin who said ‘Fart proudly!’
I read that some place.
Well, gastric bypass is not fun, but this is the first time I’ve read that it caused this problem.
Is that anything like the phantom crapper at the Denver VA?
Oh, it’s good to have a weekend, isn’t it?
Don’t know about the Denver VA, but I once freelanced at a 4-color press printing company and one of the printers was quite a fragrant fellow.
I’m looking to have a custom beer tap made for my home brew kegerator. What I’d like is for the tap to resemble – accurately – a paratrooper and a spot for my wings and background flash. Does anyone know of who/where I can have this done? I’ve looked on the Google, but haven’t found anything close.
Don’t those things have to be cast in moulds? I know they’re electroplated with chrome, but that’s a finishing step.
You might try looking for someone who does custom blacksmith work.
I found this:
http://www.ironmanblacksmithing.com/main%20menu.htm
Click on the link that says ‘other’. He does small work, as well as the larger items like doors and gates.
if you find a 3D shape you like you can have shapeways 3D print one for you that can then be molded.
I got my M38A1 jeep up and running yesterday. Clogged fuel filter was the problem. I also ordered new seat plus new carb, points, condenser, gasket kit, and fuel filter for my M274A5 Army Mule. It will be purring like a kitten soon! Mules of America has everything, even a 106 howitzer. I think a mounted M60 would be a better choice
That’s good news, Cav. Particularly being able to find parts for the Mule.
It’s been a bad week for the insurgents in my AO. Three tarantulas and two rattlesnakes can be reported KIA. I’m thinking of getting some of those little mission flags for the fuselage of my truck.
Wonder how an M-60 would work on ground squirrels…
3/17, I see (by scanning the interwebz) that an Airsoft M60 and a pintle mount can be bought for a little under $600.00, while that De-Miled 106 RR w/trailer is $20,500.00. I would go with the M60 just for the scary black gun Rambo effect.
Of course, we wouldn’t really be able to shoot any flaming squirrels with an Airsoft, but we could really scare the shit out of them, not to mention the neighbors if they got too nosy.
Best of luck with all the repair parts and I see that Mule place is just north (250 miles) of me. If you do happen to order something big that might not be cost effective to do shipping on, let me know. I could always run up there, pick it up, and then wait for us to have another get together and pass it off to you truck bed to truck bed.
Claw……you know a mule can be transported in the bed of a pickup. I can see a roadtrip once it’s finished. We can cruse your AO with scoobie. Be aware it will have Air Cav markings on it. Scoobie, Air Cav? Who would of thunk it! Smile
Mule updates are always good. Glad to hear she’s making her way back.
The army greens officially laid to rest…

Perry……..a few years ago I was attending alumni weekend with my collegebaseball buddies. During the golf tourney, the group ahead of us were jumping up and down about a rattler on the fairway. I walked down to their hole, borrowed a putter and took care of the snake. Then cut off the rattle!
As for the M60 and squirrels, pretty expensive shooting, but it sure would be fun pulling the trigger! If you shot five would that make you a ace?
If the M-60 doesn’t work, I suppose there’s always the option of going with C-4 shaped like Mr. Rabbit. The ground squirrel platoon doesn’t seem all that good at tactics, so I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice…
+25
Our younger members may not get it.
I think I’ve seen that movie before…
Yep, Bill is the man, plus he’s a Cubs fan.
I see where he celebrated his 65th birthday a couple of weeks ago, so Happy Belated Birthday to him.
Au Revior GOPHER!!!
3 wild hogs in the trap this am. 2 piglets and one sow. Got out the welder and made a rotating spit out of 3/4″rebar. Killed all 3. Put one piglet on the spit and cooked it over oak. Gave the other piglet to a neighbor. Mama’s going in the grinder tomorrow. 6 hogs trapped in the past month. All of them rather small though. I wish the weather was cooler. One of these days I’d like to cure a ham or two.
Round Ranger sighting? Was in the same AO as Maison Round Ranger, in fact, was in the same grid square, when a pick up passed me going in the other direction with a “Ranger” plate on the front. It happened so fast that I didn’t observe the driver or could even tell you the color/make.
Possible coincidence? The area is rural with very light traffic. Surely ole Derek isn’t popping up again after all this time? He learned his lesson and gave all his shit to the thrift store, right?
Will have to dial up my SA.
One last post for the weekend… My class just set a date for our 20 year reunion next year. I swear to God, I am not that old. Seriously.
The calendar doesn’t lie.
But being that old beats the hell out of the alternative.
