+1. And if you predict the end of the world enough some day you might even be right, but Nostradamus is still waiting to be vindicated too.

Maybe he was using it as a waypoint on his auto pilot and left the bridge briefly. Unlikely here, but it has been known to happen like that.

Their abuse of their employees is well documented. Sam Walton must be spinning in his grave as I understand he valued his employees considerably more than the current pack of CEO's.

As I drive through Rhode Island I occasionally see a safety message on the electronic sign over the highway. Here is a photo of it (I was the passenger when I took this photo).

Actually it was weather. Farmers were deceived by a decade or more of heavier than normal rainfall and over-planted. When the demand for grain dropped they left fields fallow and during the same...

But wine is low in carbs. A bad substitute, but better than nothing.

I am against all forms of soft tyranny and would not try to justify this by the use of it from the "other side". We should not be fearful of our government and this kind of behavior engenders it.

I agree. The issue is the government's use of power to selectively influence/intimidate various organizations. 100% of the organizations with the words "tea party" in their name were reviewed and...

Don't think it affect food stamps as it likely won't lower annual income to the point where they qualify, and unless the 11 days of furlough are consecutive (and it think it is spaced out) they won't...

6 out of 10 I guess I don't speak too goodly!

I've made about 160% gain since buying last summer. Not too bad.

And yet your analogy is considerably less complex than the task understanding climate. Regarding your analogy, you can be no more "reasonably certain" of either growth or the catching of a cold.

I wouldn't call their citations "debunking" as much of what they say uses computer modeling and inference too. However I would say that it does contradict the conclusions of the WSJ opinion piece. ...

Irrelevant as the committee doesn't have anything to do unless Medicare exceeds predetermined limits which it is not expected to do in the next year or more. It is more of a symbolic act than any...

Beautiful Photos. They make me want to go backpacking again in the Rockies.

Assuming they were both in the same condition. Which they clearly weren't.

Metal handguns aren't illegal, and the printer plus the cost of printing will make it more expensive than the typical handgun. I think it will be more a novelty. 3D printing is not the same as...

Actually there are 3 varieties! I think I know which one Paul was referencing.

I am a buy and hold guy as well. I didn't panic with the recession in 2007, and don't assume that everything will be easy with the current highs of the Dow. I am a bit of a bond skeptic. Bonds...

There is always a correction. Market growth has never been linear, but the S&P has averaged over 5% annual growth since the end of the great depression which has included several significant...

I don't think it is either of those, but more likely the result of actions from the Fed and Bernanke. In either case, many sell their portfolio in May and buy back in November. My point is that...

So much for the wisdom of "sell in May and go away".

That's quite a half-hull they are building. I'd like to see the wall that it will hang on:d

Who makes good new Bronze Turnbuckles with the open barrel look.

The underside is uneven which makes clamping tricky. I use it more as a stand for a bench type power tool, but it is a little flimsy to work on for some lumber work. Again, the corners are awkward....

I know racers don't like them, but a snuffer might have helped.

I think the fleet slipped away from them on this one.

She wintered at Mystic Seaport right next to Cangarda.

Keynes never advocated going deeply into debt during an recession and then more modestly into debt during better times. He advocated the government building a modest savings that could then be spent...

I have one of these too. It is good for some uses, but the corners protrude out from the surface and are a problem for some applications. Also, there is no good way to clamp to it if needed.

I have two that I use several times a year. One is pretty beat up now, but still works like a champ and still has its original dogs.

I'll spare you the entire page and cut to the results:




Joint type
Joint area

Breaking force (pounds) at 20 cm from joint
as a function of wood, joint type, and glue type

Source yes, verifiable no. I was at the Herreshoff Classic Boat Symposium (I think it was 3 years ago) and the Gougeon Brothers had a person there that spoke about wood and wood glue qualities for...

Headline reads....."Weiner's poll rising in NYC mayor race..."

If you wish to demonstrate how their data or conclusions are flawed, then feel free, but otherwise it really doesn't matter as all the organizations that publish the data have a bias. The Economist...

Yes, but as it retains its sovereignty, it is allowed to pass laws that encourage or discourage people from moving in. Supply and demand.





Could be worse or better. Perhaps they would ...

I know some here don't like Gorilla Glue (polyurethane glue) but I have had good results, and even the Gougeon Bros. praise it as a suitable substitute for epoxy. I believe it is extensively used in...

If the intake screen gets clogged on a pump with a standard float switch you'd have the same problem. I have used a Boatsense in my boat which sends me a text message if the batteries get low or if...

But I picked 3 and there are many more. Moreover, the fact that he is a shill does not in and of itself refute his information - it only means that he is looking only for proof that the predictions...

You are right that society has an obligation to protect its citizens. Even children. Though I favor abortions, I have been dismayed to learn that a child that is a live birth abortion has no rights...

Um, here's a few. There are plenty more if you would care to do some research.

People vote with their feet. That's the whole idea behind state's rights.....

Is this a gun control thread too? Are you trying to say that we need a single payor system because of terrorism? If you are, I don't see the connection any more than I do the use of bombs and the...

Yet you have not explained why it is not nearly as warm as global warming computer models have indicated. Who is cherry picking here?

Yes they are. Don't expect it to get any better in the foreseeable future either.

You mean you paid less than Romney? How can this be? You must be one of the .01%.....:d

And yet there is another thawing going on too.......

Sad story. She only went down a couple hundred miles off Cape Cod. I wonder what the status is of her nuclear reactor?

I don't think it's a bad idea, but looking for new revenue streams without agreeing on how much we actually need doesn't make sense. For example, property taxes are created by figuring out how much...

The current code is way too complex and provides too many special provisions for various groups. Incremental changes won't work here any more than they do on restoring one of Maynard Bray's "Save a...
