Sorry about the reply-to-self, but my kid was crying so I just hit submit. Also wanted to add not to use bleach at all costs. Bleach is hazardous, and doesn't even do a decent job of killing mold.
This probably won't ever get read, but you are seriously in need of Sporaclean http://www.killmoldfast.com/. It's an insanely good product. You should get this stuff, dilute it and coat the room, and everything in it.
Because he's done being undercover after that. I don't know about Germany, but if it's anything like the U.S. you have a right to face your accusers. That means his cover would be blown in court anyways. At least this way he gets some kudo's and he'll probably get a promotion out of that field work anyways.
She wanted a trooper fired for tasering his child? Wait, wasn't Slashdot against tasering of people? Did she screw up procedurally, undoubtedly. A deal had already been cut with the DA, and that didn't include his dismissal from his job and it should have. Palin shouldn't have tried to fire him because the deal was already done, but if I were in her shoes I would have probably done the same thing because I would have just assumed he would have lost his job for being a fuckwad child abuser, and when it didn't happen I would have tried to make it happen because an officer that tasers a family member while NOT on duty shouldn't be in a position of power anymore should they? Why the fuck is this even an issue? I mean I don't give a rats ass if McCain was associated with a real estate shyster 20 years ago, or if Obamas pastor liked saying god damn america, and he's buddies with some radical terrorist fuckwad, but at least I can see why those would be issues for some people.
I just wish one of them could stand up and say we are going to have to eat some painful medicine because we lived too high on the hog off a real estate bubble, when we should have been gardening and conserving because we were involved in a war. It's not like the president can do shit about the economy anyways. The only real power they have over anything is the bully pulpit, and the veto. Big fucking deal, for better or worse the fed chief has a bazillion times the authority that the president has over economic matters.
Because if a majority is what the candidates are shooting for only large cities will get any interest. The smaller states, towns, and rural communities can go to hell, and become a refuse and pollution dump for the cities. The system works as intended. Our republic was never meant to be a direct democracy, we just have democratically elected representation.
Deregulation only let it be seen when they were run into the ground. Without deregulation they could just soak tax money without being forced to be profitable, and nobody would have ever known anything other than "there's another one of those failing money soaking arms of the government". As it is at least now we can be indignant that they lost money instead of ignorant. There is blood on both isles hands here. To pin this on either isle and not both is just dooming us to the same fate again.
1: They should have never been government backed corporations.. isn't that fascism?
2: They should have never been allowed to get so large that if one or two failed then it would demolish our economy. Isn't that what antitrust laws are all about?
3: The Govt never should have pushed for ease of lending to low income or underprivileged people. Just because healthy economies have high rates of home ownership doesn't mean you can scam your way into high rates of home ownership and create a healthy economy out of it. That's the wagon trying to pull the horse.
4: The government should have never backed the loans. The real reason we can't let them go bankrupt is because it's the same damn thing as taking them over economically. The tax payer still foots the bill.
5: How in hell was it not illegal for these fascist companies to spend so much on lobbying?
6: How about if we all just buy our own damn houses. If we can't get great mortgage rates, and we can't afford to put down enough to buy a home then guess what, supply will rise, and demand will fall creating CHEAPER HOUSING. Flooding the damn market with loans is what caused housing to get unbearably expensive and cause us to go from 15 year fixed rates as a standard, to 30 year, or adjustable rates as being the standard.
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. I buy the cheapest tools in many regards from places like Harbor Freight on a sidewalk sale. For doing some things like cutting through concrete backer board I'll be damned if I'm going to ruin a $250 saw or drill with concrete dust (concrete dust is death to tools). I remodeled two entire houses using a firestorm drill that came in a kit with a bunch of other tools for $139, and that 18v drill served me for four years wonderfully until it was stolen with a lot of my other tools. Now, some of my tools I buy *decent* stuff, like my little miter saw, because I needed my miter cuts on trim to be very accurate, but my $30 wet saw I got at a garage sale has put down 3 houses worth of ceramic tile that looks great. I love garage sale tools, people will tell you they don't last as long which may be true, but you can buy 4 of 5 tools for the cost of one easy. I just picked up a $250 table saw for $40 at a garage sale, and my buddy picked up a $700 air compressor for 75 bucks a few weeks ago that I found and didn't need.
I might suggest finding someone uneducated that needs money from part time work in your family or friend of friends that is willing to come over for heavy lifting projects. I paid a brother in law 7 bucks an hour to help me remodel my kitchen and cut the time dramatically (I just had to keep him away from the saws because his wet saw cuts looked like crap).
I find the "rock on" screws are great for drywall, and concrete board. I put my drill in reverse on the screws to grind through the concrete, then switch to forward to drill into the wood.
The digital camera idea is great, and something I always want to do, and ALWAYS FARKIN FORGET.
Also have you noticed that the anti abortion crowds are making much more progress lately now that their tactics are less confrontational? If your trying to change thought patterns it's better to take a high minded approach rather than a terror approach. I personally believe abortion is deplorable after a fetus has nerves that can transmit pain to its brain as I can't imagine causing pain to a baby, and I don't think abortion is the best answer ever, but I respect both sides of the argument for valid points outside of that, and I think in general that's a trend America is following. Women now that have children and give them up for adoption to parents who desperately want a child to love are seen by popular media now as heroic, and even christian groups have started to see that condemning women for being pregnant out of wedlock is a strong factor in increasing abortions, and really is against the "throw the first stone" tenant anyways.
I'm pretty anti union, but the U.S. has a history where owners of textiles, manufacturing, and mining would buy police forces such as the Pinkertons and kill people that wouldn't work. The Unions increased their hostility to match, and now that the companies aren't as hostile many unions still are.
I know a guy that went scab when UPS went on strike and he had people following his wife and kids to school, and video taping his house and crap. This guy had a sick mom, and couldn't afford to strike and make like 15 bucks a day, and for that they were threatening bodily harm to him.
It's a complex issue here is all I'm saying. The Unions feel that they if they give an inch to companies then it will return to the days of corporate murder. Companies and individuals feel like they are being taken advantage off and often are. A lot of our labor laws were actually written in order to weaken the power of unions. 40 hour work week was a big one that weakened unions, because the federal government enforced it rather than unions growing in power to enforce it.
Why didn't he choose Hillary? That's the only chance he would have had with me, because at least the Clintons is a relatively known and manageable evil. Obama is slippery and who won't even come out and say he supports full term abortion when it's obvious he does. He won't come out and vote for civil liberties when it's obvious he wants to. At least McCain has the balls to stand up to anyone when he thinks they are wrong, and he has the balls to change his mind on something and vote the other direction when the national circumstance changes.
Maybe it's having the shit beat out of you for years in a vietnam prison. I mean really, what power does a congressional whip have over this guy. It's not like the republican whip carries a REAL whip, and years to use it. I know people call him McSame, but at least I have some respect for him. I've never liked Bush or respected him since he was my Governor in Texas. There's a big difference between someone who used their daddy's influence to keep him cushy when the country called him, and someone who woudln't go home out of order while being beaten and tortured because their father was high ranking.
Oh, and I think Clinton did a pretty good job, and voted for him for his second term, and I voted for Kerry, but Obama scares the piss out of me, and a lot of other centrist folks.
I've never been more proud than when the Iraqis stood up and asked us to leave by 2011. That means they feel they are capable of handling their own country by then, and the mission will have been a success. I agree that we shouldn't have set a timetable to make the insurgents have a holdout date, that should be set by the Iraq govt, and hopefully they will even seek to bump it up from there.
Really, Dems and Repubs don't want to be over there, we just disagree on the method of getting out. What most folks in the middle fear right now about the democratic party is that they will kick out the support column and let the whole thing crash to the ground like in vietnam with the killing fields, and they fear the republicans will seek to expand the conflict to other regions. Both fears are pretty unfounded because there isn't enough political will to do either, but that won't stop each side from spreading the fud that the other side will do just that.
While I somewhat agree with your assertions, I don't know if what most men and women do in the united states could be qualified as a "career". Most just have jobs that they have to go to to get ends to meet (your item number 2).
My wife did have a career, and jumped at the chance to stay home with the kids. We've adjusted alright although I do work my butt to the bone to try and make it happen. She is an accountant, we now call her the CFO (Chief Family Officer), and she really kicks ass about keeping the house running smoothly, and the budget in line. I don't know how any household that can't manage a budget, and live frugally could live on 1 income these days, but I guess plenty of single moms and dads do it.
WOW uses an SQL database. They could just make a buy using a plant, then find the user that sent the gold, find all the other users that that person sent gold, then find out who those users have purchased gold from in the past. Do that a few hundred times and you get your pattern for all the mules that transfer gold to buyers. Now do a search and find out who is sending, or dropping the gold to the mules, because the mules are worthless level 1 newbies usually.
Once you have the suppliers just cross reference credit card names and numbers to find all the accounts those users own, what IP addresses they are coming from, and for the heck of it cross reference those to accounts as well.
Granted you would have to have some algorithms to weed out false positives, but that wouldn't be difficult.
It wouldn't get rid of the gold farming, but it would drive the cost of gold sky high, and make it very difficult to do business.
I write reports to find suspicious behavior for debit and credit cards. It seems to me the problems are very much similar to one another.
I've wondered what's been going on.. It's been cool and rainy all week in Amarillo TX. This is usually the high pressure high wind cooker period of summer.
I thought the LIA was caused by volcanic eruptions. Has the theory on that changed? I find that an amazingly interesting time period. It's one of the phenomenons that caused mass migration westward in the U.S.
34 years of DDT ban in the U.S., times 1 to 3 million a year... would actually mean that his estimates probably weren't bad. Also the chemical wasn't just banned for agricultural use in ever country. Many just banned it outright, and even if they didn't it was hard to get because who wants to make DDT with that kind of liability.
From the second link off google with a 'ddt ban africa' search:
Unsafe levels of pollution aren't a requirement to increase your standard of living unless you want the standard of living to increase in this, or the decade, it just means you take an appalling percentage of that money that the populace would have spent on concrete and steel and oil and use it to buy mostly ineffective pollution control devices from whoever gives the politician the most bribes.
Big oil is running the EPA now? Wow, do they also pay environmentalists to protest the plants? Are you serious? Call the press!
Big oil has little to nothing to do with lack of nuclear technology in the united states. I'm not going to say environmentalists are the biggest either. It's more often than not the "not in my back yard" crowd that has the greatest fault in nuclear.
What I love about the "U.S. supply isn't enough to even consider" crowd, is that they conveniently overlook the huge jump in prices that even crappy little tropical storms can have in speculation when there is one around the gulf. It's not like refining capacity would really be greatly affected by anything lower than a cat3 full blown hurricane.
They aren't generally interested in no credit, or even the score. What they are interested in is bad debts. Most people with bad debts can't manage their lives, so why would you want to give them the keys to your castle. Personally I have a negligible credit score because I prefer banks to pay me interest rather than the other way around, but it's never hurt me because there isn't anything *bad* in there.
I was at a birthday party/housewarming party yesterday, and there were some Texas DPS troopers there. They got called out from the party, and came back saying they just made the county a little richer. I'm thinking big deal, a ticket. Turns out they just nabbed 15,000, a new car, a pistol, and some pot. One of the officers there told me that they were trying to focus on drug stuff because it was more lucrative than traffic violation.
I can see why. Boom, instant 15 grand, no payment plans, no conviction, etc.

Since DDT was reintroduced two years ago, malaria cases there have plummeted. The malaria ward presently has a calm, almost lonely air, with only the odd patient occupying the ranks of iron beds.
Of course some countries still have it banned.
