In the movie Star Trek IV the Voyage Home (1986) the crew needed a material that could hold back tons of water and whales. Scotty's answer was a substance called transparent aluminum. Funny how the Star Trek franchise just keeps getting it right. Transparent Aluminum

I like hot fudge, caramel and strawberries on my vanilla ice cream in that order. Not all at the same time. I prefer French vanilla. It is smoother and compliments the taste of the toppings better. If you've got hot fudge, pecans are great. Strawberries are best in season. When the strawberries are fresh and just right, you can make an unforgettable Sundae!

After killing key cast members in season ending cliffhangers, CSI has finally jumped the shark. CBS is premiering this season with Justin Bieber as a bad boy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5piVFEf1QA I'm sorry. I ain't buying that cup-cake as a bad boy.

I can think of some awful teams for similar promotions: Houston Cougars, Michigan State Wolverines, Holy Cross Crusaders... WOuldn't want to take any of those home. Well... maybe the Cougar if you are str8

My old Fiji is dead and I need a new camera. There are a ton of photography enthusiasts here so... I need your advice! First- I want to spend ~$250 US. Second- I want it to be relatively simple to operate. Third- I want jpg images Fourth- I need my camera to be able to do flash indoor photos. Fifth- My camera is primarily for work purposes so that I can document my work.

It came from a nightmare. I was watching a football game and things went blank for a few seconds. Then the Emergency Broadcast System kicked in. Houston is an obvious target: hit it and you wipe out over a third of the countries refining capacity. Los Angeles is a cultural target- eg. Hollywood. The nightmare part is what it does to the rest of the country in very short order. When a state of emergency/martial law is declared, the constitution is pretty much suspended. People don't know this stuff but if something ever does happen, we're all going to find out what a nightmare it is.

This is the Emergency Broadcast Service. Please stand by for an official statement. A National Emergency has been declared by the President of the United States. Moments ago twelve nuclear detonations have been detected in Europe and the United States. London, Madrid, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Copenhagen, Vienna, Brussels, Oslo and Warsaw have been confirmed by National Strategic Reconnaissance assets to have been hit by 500 kilo-ton nuclear devices. In the United States Los Angeles and Houston have been hit by similar devices. Stay tuned to this channel for instructions specific to your area and how to protect yourself from fallout. The President has declared martial law in the United States and all of its territories. All military and National Guard personnel are instructed to join your units immediately. A national curfew of 8pm EST has been established. Please stay off the streets or you will be arrested. All telephone and network communications are hereby designated official use only for the duration of the emergency. Only local calls will be permitted and all calls are subject to monitoring. Do not attempt to approach the Houston or Los Angeles metropolitan areas under any circumstances. It appears that the nuclear weapons deployed there were seeded with cobalt which has created a band of extraordinarily lethal radiation around those cities. Doctors, nurses and anyone with emergency, military medical or paramedic training are urged to call 888FEMADOC. Please stay calm. ______________________________________________ When I have nightmares, I go all out.

Love is an emotional form of addiction. It can cause incredible highs and lows. When you've had it, you always want more, kicking it is painful and difficult and you are always ready to score again even if you haven't had any for years. It makes you unreasonable, emotional and causes your judgment to be shaky. You disregard advice from trusted sources like family and friends. It can cause you to make incredibly bad mistakes and take stupid risks. I'm reasonably sure that if love wasn't an ancient and indivisible part of us that it would be illegal.

I must say that having my Twilight compared to the Harry Potter universe is quite flattering but they are two very different works. The kids from Twilight are trying to survive a rapidly escalating biological and nuclear war and the swirling chaos around them. The Harry Potter kids are... well magic users. While Harry Potter is a good fit for kids, I would think that Twilight's horrific detail about the nuking of Phoenix and San Diego would cause most kids to crap their pants and have life long nightmares.

This is one of the reasons that I don't use countries other than the US as settings for my writing. I just don't know enough about them. I actually do a lot of research in writing. I just wouldn't be comfortable writing about the UK or Australia without a LOT of work.

Last night I finished up a 4 day road trip to Meridian to install new PCs for a company that has their home office there. It was an unbelievable crappy situation. I was told by management to only migrate company approved applications and some people had loads of programs that I wasn't supposed to migrate. The fatass top Data Processing guy there couldn't bother to give me a list of printers, IP addresses and the required drivers. Last night at the Jamison Inn, a hotel that caters to working people with extended stays, I met a whole lot of people who were doing basically the same thing as I was: there's no work at home so you have to go get it. I saw a special on the history channel about the dust bowl days of the thirties. The term "Dumb Okie" meant anyone from Texas to lower Minnesota who went West in search of opportunities because an extended drought ruined the heartland and turned it into a near desert. Is this a recovery? I don't think so. The people that I talked to weren't making a killing. They were just getting by. I look at the corporation that I worked for and the new migrants and see no difference in character. Except for the lazy prick that ran their data processing department. He was the in-law of the local branch manager. I doubt that he would have to energy to make it on the road. It takes drive and some aggressiveness to get the good gigs. He couldn't keep up with me. I just wonder how much worse is it going to get before it starts getting any better.

Living in the south I've seen my share of this. The churches changed their stance on divorce and many issues but still preached about the evils of the homosexual like we were responsible for everything thay went wrong. I got outed at 13 and had my ass kicked by my Dad who was told in a blunt way that his kid was a faggot and keep him away from decent kids. His volcanic temper erupted on me. They made it clear that I was either queer and homeless or what they expected me to be. That simply drove me into the closet when it came to my parents. They refused to have or acknowledge anything to do with that part of my life. Growing up I saw all sorts of garbage: kids disowned, suicides or being sent away to live with relatives. It seemed that the only adults who were cool were looking to get in your pants. Another big problem that grew out of this was substance abuse. Drug and alcohol abuse was a rite of passage for my generation. This is the generation that stumbled into the buzz saw of AIDS and there are damned few of us left. We were sitting ducks for it.

That's beautiful.. *drools*

Folks, Id like to sing a song about the American Dream About me, about you About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts Maybe below the cockles, Maybe in the sub cockle area, Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys, Maybe even in the colon, we dont know Im just a regular Joe, with a regular job Im your average white, suburbanite slob I like football and porno and books about war I got an average house, with a nice hardwood floor My wife and my job, my kids and my car My feet on my table, and a Cuban cigar But sometimes that just aint enough to keep a man like me interested (oh no, no way, uh uh) No I gotta go out and have fun at someone elses expense (woah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah) I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane While people behind me are going insane Im an asshole (hes an asshole) Im an asshole (hes an asshole, such an asshole) I use public toilets and I piss on the seat I walk around in the summer time saying "how about this heat?"

I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Cassavetes, and Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckinpah, and a case of whiskey, and drive down to Texas and say..... (Hey! You know, you really are an asshole!)

Im an asshole (hes an asshole) Im an asshole (hes the worlds biggest asshole) A-S-S-H-O-L-E Everybody A-S-S-H-O-L-E Im an asshole and Im proud of it

Katrina was such a big storm that its effects were felt from Florida to Texas and far inland. Here in Mississippi damage was so bad that some small communities on the coast were practically wiped out and the infrastructure destroyed. It took weeks to reopen the roads into parts of Mississippi and months to reestablish the power grid. The scars of that storm are easily recognized all over southern Mississippi in the form of badly scarred trees and abandoned homes and businesses that were too mauled to rebuild. Everything from the coast to Hattiesburg was badly damaged and without power and water for months. Jackson, 150 miles north of the coast, was without power for week to ten days and we had to boil water for a month. This was hard on the young and the old because in Mississippi, August and September are some of the hottest months of the years. There were many deaths among the elderly from heat related stress. This house is in a low lying area near Moss Point that can no longer get federal flood insurance. Note the FEMA markings on the house which indicate that it is empty with no bodies found. Raised houses are required even in residential areas because of new ordinances and insurance requirements.

I make my own with a thick crust and vary the toppings depending on what I have. Pepperoni, sausage, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, Jalape

Now that's a tasty burger!

I guess it would depend on how you would define complete.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBd4nCFqsNs&NR=1 Sing Along! (Stimpy) Our country reeks of trees Our yaks are really large And they smell like rotting beef carcuses And we have to clean up after them And our sadle sores are the best We proudly wear womens' clothing And seering sandblows up our skirts! (Ren joins with Stimpy) And the buzzards, they soar overhead And poisonous snakes will devour us whole And our bones will bleach in the sun (Stimpy) That's it! (Ren & Stimpy) And we will probably go to (censored) And that is our great reward For being the Ro-oy-oy-al Canadian Kilted Yaksmen! (Stimpy) C'mon everybody! (Everyone) Our country reeks of trees Our yaks are really large And they smell like rotting beef carcuses And we have to clean up after them And our sadle sores are the best We proudly wear womens' clothing And seering sand blows up our skirts And the buzzards, they soar overhead And poisonous snakes will devour whole Our bones will bleach in the sun And we will probably go to (censored) And that is our great reward For being the Ro-oy-oy-al Canadian Kilted YAKSMEN!

Cats have souls and they eat vermin that cause disease (rodents). Chickens are the dumbass of the food world. You can tell that there is nothing going on inside a chickens head. All they do is squak and shit. Cut their heads off, they still run around. If they weren't good to eat, they would be completely useless. Few things smell quite as bad a chicken poo. Cat box is rough but chicken poo is horrible. Where chickens are kept in great numbers, you can smell them for miles.

I agree and know exactly what you are talking about. There is very little difference in the parties and that is the problem. We need to ask them when they run as a republican or a democrat what they really stand for. Those politicians that are looking to buy votes with taxpayer money need to go. We can't afford it and they sit on both sides of the aisle.

I'd rather live in a small town an hour away from a big town. That way you can use the amenities of the big town and leave the crack heads behind at the city limits.
