― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Monday, 9 October 2006 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

10% off DVDs and CDs
20% off books
no real deals yet
supposedly closing around the end of the year

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Monday, 9 October 2006 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

I saw a sign when I walked by that said "30% off listed price on all CD's" or something, these signs were hanging from the ceiling & the door locked when they were supposed to be open. This could all be lies. (C'mon, Fall Peel Sessions Box Set!)

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Monday, 9 October 2006 12:52 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, I'm sure they had 30% off some dusty Little Nicky action figures or something, but it wasn't the CDs. Only 10% off the import singles, even! But let's keep checking back as prices drop further...

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Monday, 9 October 2006 12:57 (nineteen years ago)

You're right Brian, 10% off CD's. LAME. Your company is going under I DEMAND SAVINGS

Hey, what are you supposed to say in that split second after the officer pulls you over and he gives you a chance to explain your infraction? Do they care what you say or do they just want to see you grovel? This morning I was too annoyed to come up with anything so I just threw my hands up in the air. He went back to his car for a little while then let me off with a warning. He was in an unmarked car and tailgating me.

WWII monument came out better than I expected, which is not saying much. Great lighting, though. FDR is nice for a stroll but it's like "oh great an educational granite cripple playground".

i remember when they were debating whether or not to even have a WWII memorial, and all the baby-boomer-aged daily comic strip makers were lobbying super-hard for it by having their characters make a bunch of WTF asides about the need for the memorial. like every panel would end with a thought bubble of some normandy shit.

In his defense, MW actually makes a most excellent chicken stir fry and does all of the baking (cookies, brownies, cakes, pies, an awesome pumpkin cheesecake, etc.). He also does an exceptional job taking care of a kitchen that I pretty much destroy on a nightly basis.

I am totally wearing my houndtooth dress tomorrow. Footwear is somewhat up in the air, but because we will be driving I can wear something on the not-so-good-for-walking end of the shoe spectrum.

Speaking of shoes, not to go all Andy Rooney or anything but WHEN THE FUCK DID CHUCK TAYLORS START COSTING 40 BUCKS? I mean srsly! Nevertheless, chucks + ten dollar over-the-counter orthotics have proved a most comfy combination. Commuting shoe problem SOLVED.

Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black) is a novel by Stendhal, published in 1830. The title has been translated into English variously as Scarlet and Black, Red and Black, and The Red and the Black. It is set in France circa 1827-30, and relates a young man's attempts to rise above his plebeian birth through a combination of talent, hard work, deception and hypocrisy, only to find himself betrayed by his own passions.

As in Stendhal's later novel The Charterhouse of Parma (La Chartreuse de Parme), the protagonist, Julien Sorel, is a driven and intelligent man, but equally fails to understand much about the ways of the world he sets out to conquer. He harbours many romantic illusions, and becomes little more than a pawn in the political machinations of the influential and ruthless people who surround him. Stendhal uses his flawed hero to satirize French society of the time, particularly the hypocrisy and materialism of its aristocracy and the Catholic Church, and to foretell a radical change in French society that will remove both of those forces from their positions of power.

The most common and most likely explanation of the title is that red and black are the contrasting colors of the army uniform of the times and of the robes of priests, respectively. Alternative explanations are possible, however: for example, red might stand for love and black for death and mourning; or the colours might refer to those of a roulette wheel, and may indicate the unexpected changes in the hero's career.

The demise of the plain chocolate hob-nob is the cause of sadness. The geography teacher is incidental although she did use to regail pre-adolescent the class of stories of eating hobnobs in the bath and an obsession with doogie howser and Twin peaks. She went to teach in a British style 'Great Public School' in Kenya and caught malaria i seem to recall.

OK for real, if you showed up over half an hour early to an interview, would you cool your heels for a bit, kill some time, or would you go ahead and check in with the receptionist and have her call me to get you OVER HALF AN HOUR EARLY?

Dental hygenist saw me last monday, cleaned my teeth. Then at the end before I got my filling she said I HAD to start using a tongue scraper and gum massager and showed me "techniques" for doing so, while dental technician stood in doorway, waiting for me to be done with her so he could give me filling. She told him to hang on no less than THREE times and then he came in the room she was STILL talking and he was very anxious to get me the FUCK out of there and kept hitting his leg with my dental file. Then my hygenist told me she'd see me today to do EVEN MORE scaling.

So she does the scaling and INJECTS DRUGS into my teeth because she says they're full of bacteria and then said: Did your wife notice? And I said did my wife notice what and she said Did your wife notice how shiny and clean your teeth were? Did your wife notice you had stopped bleeding while you were flossing your teeth and I'm all like NO she didn't notice. Then she said Please uncross your legs while you are lying down, I don't want you to get sleepy legs and then fall over when you get up, it will cut off the circulation.

I'll see you in four weeks to do your polishing.

I'm like: You're not polishing me today?
She's like: No you're not healthy enough.
I'm like: But you guys always polish my teeth after scaling.

(This is the first time I've had this PSYCHO by the way).
She's like: We'll that's not the way we do it. That's not the way, excuse me, that's not the way I DO it here. So we'll see you in four weeks for your polishing.

I remembered to call dad but did not remember that he was in Ohio on business trip. So presumably mom will pass on the birthday greetings. I would bet that my brother forgot, making me the good kid even if I haven't yet gotten father a present. Also, mom reminded me that I still owe her a present from her birthday in March. Somehow my brother manages to be exempt from all this, and in fact the last time he forgot to call mom on her birthday *I* got reprimanded for not calling him to remind him to do that. OK maybe if dude was like 9 I could see doing that, but dude is *29*.

Read this:

A Cosmic Trigger Event will occur on the 17th of October 2006. This is the beginning, one of many trigger events to come between now and 2013.

An ultraviolet (UV) pulse beam radiating from higher dimensions in

universe-2 will cross paths with the Earth on this day. Earth will remain approximately within this UV beam for 17 hours of your time.

This beam resonates with the heart chakra, it is radiant fluorescent in nature, blue/magenta in color. Although it resonates in this frequency band, it is above the color frequency spectrum of your universe-1 which you, Earth articulate in. However due to the nature of your soul and soul groups operating from Universe-2 frequency bands it will have an effect.

The effect is every thought and emotion will be amplified intensely one million-fold. Yes, we will repeat, all will be amplified one millions time and more.

Every thought, every emotion, every intent, every will, no matter if it is good, bad, ill, positive, negative, will be amplified one million times in strength.

What does this mean ?

Since all matter manifest is due to your thoughts, i.e. what you focus on, this beam will accelerate these thoughts and solidify them at an accelerated rate making them manifest a million times faster than they normally would.

For those that do not comprehend. Your thoughts, what you focus on create your reality.

This UV beam thus can be a dangerous tool. For if you are focused on thoughts which are negative to your liking they will manifest into your reality almost instantly. Then again this UV beam can be a gift if you choose it to be.

Mission-1017 requires approximately one million people to focus on positive, benign, good willed thoughts for themselves and the Earth and Humanity on this day. Your thoughts can be of any nature of your choosing, but remember whatever you focus on will be made manifest in a relatively faster than anticipated time frame. To some the occurrences may almost be bordering on the miracle.

All we ask is positive thoughts of love, prosperity, healing, wealth, kindness, gratitude be focused on.

This UV beam comes into full affect for 17hrs on the 17th of October 2006.

No matter what time zone you are in the hours are approximately 10:17am on the 17th of October to 1:17am on the 18th of October.

The peak time will be 17:10 (5:10pm) on the 17th October.

You do not need to be in a meditative state through out this time, though that would be beneficial. The main key time no matter what time zone you are in will be the peak time of 17:10 (5:10 pm). Perhaps at this time if you can find a peaceful spot or location to focus. The optimum is out in the vicinity of grounded nature, likened to that of a large tree or next to the ocean waves.

Focus on whatever it is you desire. What is required for the benefit of all Earth and Humanity is positive thoughts of loving nature.

We call this UV beam trigger event, "818" gateway.

Please forward this message to as many people as you know who will use this cosmic trigger event to focus positive, good willed thoughts.

We require approximately 1-million people across globe to actively participate in this event. Please use whatever communication mediums you have at your disposal. Reach out to as many people as possible. We require 1-million plus people at the least to trigger a shift for humanity from separation and fragmentation to one of unification and oneness.

This is your opportunity to take back what is rightfully yours i.e.

Peace and Prosperity for all Earth and Mankind.

1) back, why does it hurt?
2) who is cuter, Jake Delhomme or Eli Manning?
3) is it possible to sneak out of work yet, or do I still have to wait?
4) still not sure if I like the dried mango covered in chili pepper that I bought.
5) god fucking Dr. Morbius

in other news, everyone should be eating more seafood.

― ZR (teenagequiet), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

honestly everything on me hurts so I kind of know the answer to #1 tho I will try that suggestion when I get home. Instead of the drunken yoga suggestion I decided to make up for myself the other night that resulted in all this.

― Allyzay lives aprox. 200 feet away from a stadium (allyzay), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

My abs and back have lapsed to a level of post-exercise soreness I can handle pretty well, fortunately. I am not eating seafood but I am having a chicken caesar salad for lunch which is a vast improvement from my original plan of "fuck it another day of heat lamp pizza" which failed due to heat lamp pizza being down to one particularly anemic-looking plain cheese slice.

― SOME LOW END BRO (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

no Stephen it's pretty much a combination of the two alternatives you've listed. plus at press briefings like the one i just attended (IOM seafood risk/benefit analysis), it's just such a group backpat/jerkoff situtation that it makes me sort of angry to even be involved. industry dudes ask leading questions intended to make themselves look good, consumer/environmentalist dudes ask leading questions intended to make industry look bad and the whole thing is so pointless and already telegraphed and then you've got all these idiots in the press trying to make themselves look hard-nosed or whatever by asking the world's dumbest "confrontational" questions that have no informational value at all, but succeed in attracting attention because obvs. people conflate saying something loudly with having something to say. food policy is a really interesting/cool topic to cover but shit gets annoying sometimes. i think i'm just in a bad mood today too.

― ZR (teenagequiet), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Ugh, I can see how that'd lead to some dark thoughts. It's like the people who talk at meetings just to talk at meetings, when the outcome was already decided by two dudes on a Chris Craft last weekend.

Isn't there some seafood we shouldn't be eating, though?

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

yeah like 2 servs/wk but alternate species to maximize benefits/minimize risks. so like don't just eat salmon, go salmon/tuna/shrimp/catfish/trout/manatee/kraken/mermaid. also preggers chix stay away from longer-lived predatory species a la swordfish/shark/king mackerel/tilefish. i have no idea what the hell a tilefish is and have never heard the word used outside of the context of high-mercury fish species but yeah.

Isn't there a couch or something that she can sit on in the receptionist area, and wait, like a normal person? It's totally fine to get there early because you might not know the way and thus give yourself extra time to find it, but then you just chill in the waiting area and read a magazine or something.

A thank you is just nice. It won't keep you from getting the job if they want you and you don't send one, but if you are sort of borderline it could serve to remind them that you are out there and you are interested. It's not really a thank you note, it's just a remember me/please hire me note disguised as a thank you note.

Santorum is soooooooooooooooo awesome

10/17/2006
Santorum defends Iraq war policy
By Alison Hawkes , For the Herald-Standard

LEVITTOWN - Embattled U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum said America has avoided a second terrorist attack for five years because the "Eye of Mordor" has instead been drawn to Iraq.
Santorum used the analogy from one of his favorite books, J.R.R. Tolkien's 1950s fantasy classic, "Lord of the Rings," to put an increasingly unpopular war in Iraq into terms any school kid could easily understand.

"As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the Eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else," Santorum said, describing the tool the evil Lord Sauron used in search of the magical ring that would consolidate his power over Middle-earth.

"It's being drawn to Iraq and it's not being drawn to the U.S.," he continued. "You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don't want the Eye to come back here to the United States."

The 12-year Republican senator from Pennsylvania said he's "a big Lord of the Rings fan." He's read the first of the series, "The Hobbit" to his children (he has six).

But spokesman for Democratic opponent Bob Casey Jr. questioned the appropriateness of the analogy.

"You have to really question the judgment of a U.S. Senator who compares the war in Iraq to a fantasy book," said Casey spokesman Larry Smar. "This is just like when he said Kim Jong Il isn't a threat because he just wants to 'watch NBA basketball.'"

I went to HS with a few guys that remind me of the non-asian wonkette editor. You remember them–last scene head-down pushing a projector down a hallway, hanging out almost exclusively with chubby, pale girls dressed all in black who hate their dads–the kind of people who like a band until they find out someone else has heard of it. They’re essentialy outcasts who couldn’t find a way to fit in so they decided to take ownership of their rejection. Kudos, spaz-boy.

When he makes off-color, homophobic or implicitly racists jokes (which he essentially does for a living) it’s irnoic and clever…when we do it sophomoric and offensive? Why?

oh, shoot, wrong road. it's 195.

(waterman is a one way the other direction)

also, driving in from boston might be the difference, I think it's better marked from the other direction? coming from the south if you don't know to take 195 the exits from 95 take you over to atwells ave or federal hill, and then you're lost..

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

― quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

Clearly I am aiming too high.

What, other than a sweater, can I wear to work in cold weather? That is a serious question. I am experiencing a serious shortage of fall/winter tops (pants I have covered, but what to wear with them???)

― quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

If it's cashmere I might break a hundred but you can get them on sale a lot or have a family member by one for you for Christmas and then it sits in your drawer and gets motheaten and you wonder why you bothered.

I was anticipating purchasing a $50ish sweater at UA that I saw in the catalog that seemed really cute--light blue with stawberries on it--but in person there was actually like felt applique for the leaf and it was too much.

q, why don't you get some turtlenecks etc from like the Gap or Old Navy for now?? They are made out of natural materials and are basic, come in 100x colors and also v. cheap so you don't feel that bad about taking care of 'em. Though I am against you guys and your all natural stance, I mean shit needs some synthetics in it so it doesn't start giving you boob sag and hanger shoulders.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

I think I can deal with a little bit of synth, but mostly wool or whatever is important. Wool is pretty resiliant; it's silk and cotton that get all fucked up and boob saggy.

I'm not sure I have whatever it is it takes to rock a sweater vest.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:57 (nineteen years ago)

Turtleneck is a great idea! You can also layer things over it--like summer shirts or button downs.

What do you wear under a cardigan/sweater? Tshirts, short or long, blouse, collared shirt, etc.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

No stephen that is too foreign. Also it just sounds like you are saying "BRO HOLLA!!!" which is probably going to be a terrible band's breakout single in a couple of months, or possible already has been, produced by Pharrell.

Step one requires 1 oven, 1 pan, either 10 or 14 unmolested fingerling potatoes give or take 2 or 3, 30 to 45 minutes, and 500 fahrenheits.
Step two requires olive extra oil virgins and kosher salt as you see fit. I recommend cutting the results of step one each down the middle to allow the virgins to get under the skins.
Step three requires eating the results of step two with your hands.

― SOME LOW END BRO (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Lard is pig fat here too. Crisco is basically fake lard made out of vegetables (so it doesn't taste the same--though comparable enough that in most uses you won't notice the difference--but is vegetarian ok and somewhat less unhealthy). Crisco is far, far easier to find in the US than lard; you can run into difficulties getting that even from a butcher at this point.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Hahah Brian we have to show you the picture of the fox-themed room we stayed in whilst in Camden, ME.

Ed do not listen to Mr. Que. Crisco is not lard. Crisco is vegetable shortening, as Ally (who actually know what she is talking about) pointed out. Something about a fat that is solid at room temperature seems U&K, so I vote for either Crisco or lard (which is, in fact, pig fat here).

The first path is a more federal Iraq -- with power devolved to the Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish regions. But this presupposes a national government strong enough to formulate rules for, say, the sharing of oil revenue. If such a national framework existed, Iraq wouldn't be such a mess in the first place.

THE FAKE ACCENTS SOUNDED GRATE, NEW YORK MAKES ME STAY UP TOO LATE

― ken noizewater (Pareene), Friday, 27 October 2006 06:25 (nineteen years ago)

Ginger-Plum Sorbet

Big screwface to Dean & Deluca for those dry & flavorless plums. And to Krups for not freezing the mixture. But Cuisinart hand blender, you rock my world. Once it was clear that the plum flavor was shot I just used them for color (skin on) and threw in a bunch more ginger. After no luck with the ice cream maker (well, I guess it properly aerated it) I dumped the mixture into a metal bowl and froze overnight. This morning? RESULT!

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Friday, 27 October 2006 12:05 (nineteen years ago)

Brian, why are you fussing around with an ice cream maker - in OCTOBER nonetheless - when you have Ableton Live 6? Seriously dude.

― SOME LOW END BRO (TOMBOT), Friday, 27 October 2006 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

Yo Al3x were there any good Billy Joel Joeks? Did his daughter try to take Pete home? Did his ex-wife?

Tracer you're always forgetting the red dildo. Also do you really have my suit jacket from the reception?

― SOME LOW END BRO (TOMBOT), Friday, 27 October 2006 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

TBOT, I am trying to find the MIDI input on the ice cream maker. It's all German technology.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Friday, 27 October 2006 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah WTF: no Billy Joel report? Y'all better have a good excuse--like you've been up all night with him working on his new comeback record. Details!

― TROGDOR (Mr.Que), Friday, 27 October 2006 12:46 (nineteen years ago)

some b&t mooks walked by as we stood by the FA's van and shouted "WE JUST SAW BILLY'S DAUGHTER" and brandished an autographed glossy.

for my money tho the real highlight was watching this band. we read their myspace profile and learned all their names/archtypical personalities before the show. pete fell in love with lazy-eyed drummer. it had to be their first gig ever, all their dads seemed to be in the crowd. and all their dads looked like veteran new york character actors.

― ken noizewater (Pareene), Friday, 27 October 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

Liz is totally cute, y'all are crazy. Hannah's probably the "popular" one but she's all about her hair. Rachael is nothing too special. Caitlin and Liz rule over everyone else in that band, sorry dudes.

― TROGDOR (Mr.Que), Friday, 27 October 2006 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

She's probably in the band because she has a mini van she can use after she's dropped her kids off at little league practice.

anyway, zr was full of hate for everyone in nyc, especially "girls gone cryin'" as they were eventually dubbed, and pete's initial love for them faded too as their set lasted for something like 6 straight days of empowered shouting-in-unison.

At first I thought the blonde wasn't so bad, at least she had a less in-face appeal and seemed kind of RAWK. As opposed to the keyboard player who was lame and obviously trying to be "sexy" from the get-go. But then the blonde said something really stupid and I hated her, too.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 30 October 2006 15:28 (nineteen years ago)

I don't understand why you ask that question when "sick time" and "vacation" are the same thing at your company, and any overtime you do gets put into increasing your "sick/vacation time" instead of "paying you overtime rate". I mean it's pretty self-evident? Ed's plan is pretty good though.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Monday, 30 October 2006 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

"sick time" and "vacation time" are the "same" at my "company" as well.

― TROGDOR (Mr.Que), Monday, 30 October 2006 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah but this is not that, this is my regular paid overtime that I earn just by showing up, not the "sickie slash unpaid overtime slash comp time by any other name" hours that I keep building up and not counting because I can't be bothered to make a simple excel worksheet for myself to see how much I've built up (they refuse to tell us even though they have such an excel spreadsheet themselves, somewhere, because by telling us they encourage people to use it like comp time, which they are adamant it is not, because they are dicks)

― SOME LOW END BRO (TOMBOT), Monday, 30 October 2006 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

I mean apparently when I hit the 2-year mark they bumped my earned vacation rate up, I thought I was only getting 80 hours over the year, but now I'm at 100.

― SOME LOW END BRO (TOMBOT), Monday, 30 October 2006 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

I did not mean "regular paid overtime" I meant regular paid time off, sorry

― SOME LOW END BRO (TOMBOT), Monday, 30 October 2006 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

Well then I guess you should stop buying additional vacation time. Don't they pay you out for it at the end of the year?

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Monday, 30 October 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah that's why I was checking, they actually reminded us this year of the upcoming buyback date. I suppose I'm not the only person who's been fucked over by that policy.

5. CONCLUSION
In this paper, a method for constructing progressively
an algebraic presentation which represents the risk management
process has been presented. The basic feature of the
work is that attacks are irreversible actions that can not
be reversed. Therefore, security decisions can be viewed as
pseudo-inverses for attacks. The risk management decision
making, from an algebraic point of view, is performed by
finding the pseudo-inverses of the attacks that are likely to
be carried out against the protected system. In the last section,
our reasoning has been illustrated by a concrete risk
analysis method that validates the algebraic specification
and the deduction system.

i forgot about halloween completely, mainly because i am an adult living in england, so i heard a rapping, gently frapping, lightly tapping at my door and was like "SHIT!!!!!" and i suddenly regressed into like 3rd grade and imagined that i was my old science teacher and i was going to get the tree outside "rolled", so i opened the door and bless their hearts, these english kids don't even know that you're supposed to say "trick or treat," one of them was like "uh, happy halloween?" and the other ones were just kind of shifting and shivering, and i was like, "uh, i'll be RIGHT BACK!" like i had some AWESOME surprise for them and i'm like FUCK, FUCK as i shut the door - not too hard, i mean i didn't want to seem rude to them, but i'm not leaving my door open to a bunch of masked schoolchildren - and start looking in the kitchen, but knowing in advance i have nothing, fucking nothing these kids really wanted, the only thing i had was oranges. fucking oranges. i was that guy. the guy with the fucking oranges. i came back upstairs and gave them each an orange and then murmured something and left. SHIT. so i went out and got some real candy and like an hour later they came back! "yeah here's your candy you fucking jackals now beat it!"

b. 33.3% mom+kids who showed up before I had a chance to hit up CVS for tootsie rolls etc. and I told them to come back later but of course they never did
c. 33.3% whoever showed up while I was out hitting up CVS for tootsie rolls etc. and Ally was in the bathroom and as such could not be expected to answer the door

3. Bar scene:
a. Man you meet some amazing Hall & Oates slash Professional Sports fans when you go around the corner for a beer; bonus, they all appreciate a tootsie roll or seven, so take the aforementioned figure down about 25 each
b. Man you meet some sour old bitches who won't even acknowledge tomorrow's universal desire for a tootsie roll pop, wtf with those kind of people.
