Hey ES!

ES!

Eureka!

Eureka!

woo-hoo! a hat trick today!

Good evening all.

Waving Hi to ES…. heading off to bed….. Nite everyone….

Aloha, Katy!

Here is a DIgg for Ya ES!!

turning off LQQK

Just catching up on Greenwald today.. his final update (Glenn loves his updates, doesn’t he?)

UPDATE II: Today already, another $10,000 has been raised for the Carney/FISA ad campaign, bringing the total close to $60,000. That amount will buy a lot of TV, radio, newspaper ads and billboards in the Northeast corner of Pennsylvania. The more contributions that are received still, the more ads can be run, the greater their impact will be.

LQQK!

TQQ late!

He can play, ES!

I have friends coming in from LA for the CD party next weekend. I got my workspace more organized this weekend and had some lovely Creole sausage for breakfast. :-D

I’m having one last cognac and hoping the MSM will SHUT THE FUCK UP about Jeremiah Wright.

Sorry I’m not more interesting, I skipped the Talking heads shows today, I’m just about full up with it all. I wish we could just shut up and vote.

DFWM,F

Actually it’s now over 64K!

i ignored em today too

What, I can’t even use a hockey term…? ;-)

:o excellent!

ES, that’s a beautiful song and video.

Just saying :>)

no such thang as off topic at late nite

didn’t ya see me turn off my lQQk?

What’s this QQ business?

Did you see the last image? I had to look it over few times, and I am still not sure if it’s real.

kQkQ

Apropos of nothing important here, I’d like to recommend this saga about hiking through Joshua Tree National Monument by Dan Neil in today’s LA Times, just because it’s good writing. Dan is LAT’s automotive editor, and probably the best automotive writer since Tom McCahill.

What does DFWM,F mean? Someone asked earlier today, but I neer saw a response.

I did — stunning!

What a strange and neat video, ES.

DFWMF is the line joan crawford used in her confrontation with the all male board of directors when she inherited

don’t fork with me fellas

loohoo, the lQQk - the q’s are eye’s looking

luv it!

It is a line suzanne and i are very, very, very fond of.

we’d like to see it used in deecee more often.

teddy, i must confess

i am losing faith in st joe

Not even nibbles, eh? 8-(

crossing the Tropic of Commodore?

Dallas and San Jose going to a third OT

Sounded like something out of a singles ad.

One step at a time.

As I mentioned in the last thread, it’s gonna be settled in a shootout! ;-)

This game will never be over

the silence of no calls for showings is deafening

I see there are more Hockey fans than I thought here at the Lake!!

ES, here’s something in a similar vein:

Ali Farka Toure and Corey Harris

oh dear, i had not thought about that

geez, i wonder if i was politically correct inadvertantly?

Say what?

I ave enjoyed resting my head on the guitar too :)

Boy I hope some snarky writer like TSF *clears throat* takes on this headline.

Condoleeza Rice says peace in the Middle East is attainable this year

Don’t worry no GUNS allowed on the ice!

The Dallas-San Jose game…!

hockey loohoo

Whew!

just to say hi to your amiga

Gawd, that’s comparable to Darth’s utterance that Shrub’s approval ratings will improve …!

A penalty about time!!

Uh-oh Power play, Dallas!

Suz even Tucker is watching right up close to the TV!

Oops, San Jose!

*filing fingernails with indifference*

*i have a nasty habit of rooting for a team only to have them lose - i must maintain a haughty indifference*

With that PP, SJ deserves to lose.
Wow, was that bad.

A movie I need to see in its entirety.

ES, don’t tell me you missed that whole week of Scorcese and the blues a few years ago? zomg! I was glued to my tee vee!

I don’t know what happened.. “tis the first I have heard about it.

i can haz

Where’d the puck go? ;-)

Get thee to Amazon and check it out — you won’t be sorry!

tw3k, love that lolcat ;-)

Progressive for military expansion with pork?

Shipyard prison considered for cyber command

KITTERY, Maine — At the same time as the Navy is exploring private development of the former Portsmouth Naval Shipyard prison, Rep. Carol Shea-Porter is pushing to bring the Air Force’s Cyber Command to the long-neglected castle-like structure.

Navy officials have asked private developers to submit proposals in the next two months with a goal of signing a contract in the spring of 2009. But if the Air Force were to choose the shipyard for its planned cyber command center, a government-to-government transfer essentially would trump outside uses, Shea-Porter’s staff said.

Ryan McKeon, Shea-Porter’s military legislative assistant, said the congresswoman does not want to be an impediment to the private development efforts but thinks the prison would be an ideal choice for the Cyber Command center.

arbit macht frei

Thanks, I just checked, netflix has it too.

Hey, ES, I mentioned to ya on an earlier thread that I saw 7 were killed by the twisters…!

Dam i used to repair Xerox copiers in that prison. It was the only prison where they housed both Navy and Marine criminals! Very old structure but it is on an island so quite secure!

ES, duh on me — never checked Netflix.

Name it the Esmeralda.

Heh, did ya ever saunter down to Hampton Beach? Eat at Brown’s? ;-)

I prefer Old York, myself.

So I heard.. I knew I wasn’t whimpering Toto in the dark for nothing that morning.

Less traffic…! ;-)

No But I have eaten at many fine places in that area. One place I used to go was the old Studebaker summer home on Rye beach. 26 rooms 8 bath rooms, life size Greek statures in the foyer and an indoor/outdoor pool. the owner was the architect for Dunfey’s Hotel’s!

I think we went through a conversation like this once before. Now I remember - it was about Old Orchard Beach.

:)

‘Night everybody, and thank you ES for the trip to Mali :-)

I liked the Coney Island atmosphere of Hampton, altho, the parking sucked…! ;-)

Aloha, LL!

In Maine and 30 miles north of Kittery. But a great place to go in the summer! Real nice beaches.. I lived 25 miles north up route 5 from Old Orchard Beach

Anytime.. and no suntan lotion needed..)

g’ nite LL

Nite LL!

ES, that youtube was great. Thank you.

g’nite ll

Did ya ever go atop Cadillac Mt. in Acadia… A pink granite Mt…! ;-)

Perfect.

May every Esmeralda meet her Coronado

Now.

My sister lives a good way farther up the coast in Camden. Mr. Gnome and I like York because it is quiet and an easy drive back to Bean Town.

g’nite, LL - good dreams!

Did ya ever put your feet in the water there? Brrrr.

Beautiful place, though.

Mind boggling waste of money for renewed missile program.. a missile that doesn’t work?

DoD approves joint air-to-surface missile

The U.S. Defense Department has given the go-ahead to the Air Force’s Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), officials announced May 2, after more than a year of deliberating and rehabilitating the program with contractor Lockheed Martin.

The chief weapon buyer for the Pentagon, John Young, certified that required conditions had been met for the now-$6.1 billion cruise missile program.

snip

JASSM is designed to cruise autonomously, use an infrared seeker and an improved anti-jam GPS receiver to find its target, and use its stealthy airframe to elude air defenses.

The JASSM program began in 1998 with a plan to buy 2,400 missiles with a 200-nautical-mile range. Since then, the Air Force has added 2,500 extended-range versions of the missile to the order. The service already has 600 of the missiles and another 400 on order.

Costs rose as the Air Force changed requirements — upping the range to 500 miles and adding the Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module to protect the GPS signal sent to the missiles. It is that protective module that was blamed for the series of failed 2007 tests in which three of four missiles lost contact with GPS satellites and missed their targets by more than 200 miles. The fourth reached the target but did not detonate due to fuse problems.

Perfect for a Sunday night.. So glad you liked it too, Margot.

The Pacific is nice and warm tho…! ;-0

That reminds me of ‘Star Wars’…! Even with klaxons built on ‘em they couldn’t hit ‘em…!

Dang again No. But I have been to Dessert Island! Did you eat at the Back Aft just out side the Portsmouth Naval Ship Yard??

Kirk - I left you a gabby/gossipy comment downstairs in EPUville.

i was born at portsmouth naval hospital - the one in virginia

Nice in the good weather but in the winter another thing altogether! I have had to leave for work with Temps -35 and a 50 mph wind…. But during the Summer it is very nice… but the bugs… dam
I think I will stay here in Redwood city Ca!

The chief weapon buyer for the Pentagon, John Young, certified that required conditions had been met for the now-$6.1 billion cruise missile program.

Lockheed Martin’s next Executive Vice-President.

Lots warmer :>)

Can’t say that I have…! BTW, they’re about to start the third game, after playing two already…! ;-0

My ex is a drafter and document control specialist. I have heard endless stories of projects ruined or pushed past practicality by customers constantly changing requirement. It’s the AF’s and their desire for every wiz bang bell and whistle fault
