Helpful Reader Email
Sir Knight kindly sent an email that mentioned this Rocket Jones review of
Revolt of the Zombies, which he found "when I was googling around for zombies + Cambodia".
How cool is that?
Well, he also sent along a link which talks about a real zombie problem they're having in Cambodia.
You read that right.
Many thanks to Sir Knight for that link. May your maidens be fair, your sword always sharp, and your dragons French.
Note: Because links eventually expire and this one is too good to lose, I've reprinted the entire article in the extended entry (without permission).

Man. An army of zombies! How cool would it be to protect home and family against a tide of zombies...They should let some of them walk around for a while, just to see what happens. Maybe they become friendly?

Global Warming is caused by Environmental Activism
Found this over at Q and O:
"If we had simply built all the [nuclear power] plants that were in the pipeline at the time of Three Mile Island, then we would have reduced current coal combustion sufficiently to satisfy the Kyoto treaty." -- Peter Huber
Read about it.

I'm not gonna let you get my blood pressure up today,Ted.I do,however,have a favor to ask of you.I would like to dump my trash on my front lawn for the next couple of weeks.If you would be good enough not to dump yours I will pay you for your "trash credits".
This is what Kyoto is all about.It's not about not polluting but rather WHO gets to pollute how much.
Simple solution to the whole gas and pollution mess?Legalize hemp production for the production of methanol.Old cars could be exempt.New cars would cost zilch to build differently.Higher compression,larger cam and larger injectors with more squirt is essentially it.It takes roughly twice the amount of methanol to make the same power as gasoline but it can be produced for squat with hemp or some other bio mass rich crop.The same can't be said when it is made from the worlds most inefficient cash crop which is corn.Other side benefits are that methanol produces almost no emissions and is much easier on engine parts due to it's smooth burn characteristics.
On the subject of nukes,I'm very pro-nuke.Screw the hippies!So what if mistakes where made in the past.Sometimes the biggest mistakes are the ones that you remember the longest and clearest.Three Mile Island cops a belly fart and the libs use that to justify shutting down the whole industry?Some idiot with a gun in one hand and a crack pipe in the other pops a cap in somebody's ass and now some dad and his kid can't go huntin'?Why are libs such pussies?Are they so Godless that they feel a need to shelter themselves so completly from everything that's even a bit harmful,feeling a need to extend their lives by every second that they can because they are convinced that nothing awaits afterwards?Or,are they just so useless and/or arguative that they feel need things like this to make them feel useful?

Two words Russ, Spacebar, Lithium.
Ted: That would be perfect ! Reactors for everyone! And in a few hundred years, what with all the permanent nuclear waste around you could perform your own x-ray standing next to a "waste storage" facility. (ala Simpsons on Sunday)

Russ, I'm glad you didn't get excited. LOL
Oorgo, I understand those concerns. Now let's hear some ideas from you. I know you don't care for the current petroleum-based world, and you've got a problem with nuclear. What's left? Something viable and reasonable please. And if you claim that solar will do it with more research, well, I could say the same for the problems of nuclear waste.
Don't just say "no". Give me some alternatives to think about.

Heh, I was being quippy I left that comment, but yeah there are many other wickedly cool technologies and fuel alternatives out there right now.
For example,
Honda is going to be selling a cube that runs off of natural gas that will both heat and power your house with less of an environmental impact. I believe fuel cells will also work this way, and they're even making them so small now that you could power your house with something the size of a six pack of pop cans (not in production I don't think).
I follow this great webblog called
"Green Car Congress" daily, they have non-reactionary news items about groundbreaking advances in "sustainable mobility" they call it. Making vehicles that have little impact environmentally, or making conversions to current technologies to avoid massive expense.

I'm a cautiously pro-nuke liberal myself...and one of the things I always keep in mind is that nothing is without impact. Even wind power...aren't bats being chopped up in the windmills?
Posted by: nic at April 27, 2005 05:37 PM (Sx8zO)

Part of my Governor School essay was on wind power. In Oklahoma on one of the wind farms they noticed actual climate changes, where the people down wind of the farm was experiencing a drought, while those up wind were having abnormal levels of rain. They even built underwater-mills, and while they didn't harm as much, they wern't practical for one turbine cost a good 10 million dollars, and could only power 70 homes.
In general alternative energy isn't up to the job yet. Get me a cost effective, efficiant energy source that doesnt' harm the ecosystem and by golly, i'll jump on the band wagon. But until then I'm going to stick to the tried and true.

Nic: yeah, I heard about the problems they've been having with windmills and birds in North America. From what I've also heard is that in Europe they've been using it for a long time with little problem. I believe they're studying what the problem/difference is.
Funny thing with all of the technology mentioned is the US and Canada have JUST recently been testing this stuff but other countries have had them implemented for decades. That's what happens when you run out of natural resources like Europe has started to, you work harder at other self-sustaining means.
I read somewhere that China itself is screwed unless it really starts working at 0 environmental impact. They have so much backpaddling to do if they want to reverse the damage done so they continue to live on the land.

The European Greens party has a lot more influence than environmentalists in North America, and the Germans in particular are very environmentally aware. I remember that even the fishing licenses were incredibly restrictive. Your permit allowed you to fish in a limited stretch of a stream or river. If you wanted to fish 10 miles up or downriver, you needed another permit for that area.
Another problem with wind power is the old "not in my backyard" attitude. The obvious place for windmills are along the coastlines, but since the rich own homes there, they raise hell about their view being spoiled.
And IIRC, it wasn't just bats, but all kinds of birds being killed by the windmills. And lots of them.
As for China, they're so like the old Soviet Union that it's tragic. Absolute disregard for the environment, and they're already paying for it. The Yangtze river, one of the major rivers of the world, dries up at the mouth to the sea for some months of the year because of over-diversion upriver. And when it is flowing, it's so silted up that it's nearly unnavigable. Russia is paying heavily for their past sins. China is approaching that point rapidly.
Bottom line, and my opinion only, is we're going to have to go nuclear, and in the next 20 years fuel cells and battery technology will advance enough to make significant contributions. Solar needs a breakthrough, and you can't predict that. Wind and geothermal will be niche at best, and hydroelectric will actually decline some as old dams reach the end of their viable lifespans.
We're making huge advances in efficiency, even for petroleum-based products. We need to quit advancing enough to meet demand and make that leap that allows us to reduce dependence on oil.

Well, isn't Chernobyl entombed in concrete or something so that the radiation within doesn't leak out?
Maybe all we need to do, to quell the fears of nuclear disaster, is "entomb" all of the nuclear plants. If disaster happens, it's already prevented from spreading any further than the plant itself!
Either that or all of the efficient natural energy sources will be gone in a few centuries and we'll have to revert to slave labor. At least we'll have some nifty pyramids to entomb our masters in.

What we really need is a way to process and break down the waste that comes from nuclear power, the heavy water and ... I can't remember what the other thing is, but it has a half life of hundreds of years.
Oh, and on top of that apparently
most or many of the current nuclear facilities are nearing the end of their lives.

A couple of quickie links
Shank is a sometime commenter here, and he keeps an interesting blog,
The Reluctant Werewolf. It's full of fun anecdotes and unconventional wisdom.
Like this:
At work, we employ some Musical Therapists. Basically, they go around the oncology wards and such - places where people are pretty sick and face a depressing prognosis - and kind of help them become comfortable. They play music and sing and shit like that. Lots of patients and families really appreciate that kind of thing, but it's a little too new agey for me. So I'm going to make fun of it.
That's just the opening paragraph of a pretty funny post. He's always worth a visit, especially for his insights on the wedding-planning process, which he's also going through.
Rob and Carol have just gone through the wedding-planning process, followed by the wedding process and now the honeymoon process. Stop by their place at Left & Right and go through the comment process to wish 'em a big congrats. They're due back today.
This next blog, The Smoking Toaster, defies classification. Your pal, Bitterman, is the author and holds forth on everything from the pussyfication of the classic Dodge Daytona muscle cars to topical humor. Added to the mix is some pretty good photography from the Bay Area. He's a smartass, but too on-the-ball to be a dumbass. He's a daily read for me.
LeeAnn is the CheeseMistress of Munuviana and Queen of the evolving banner. She also offered up some living will suggestions. These are my favorites:
3. If I am unable to recognize or interact with friends or family members, I still expect gifts.
4. If I am unable to feed, clean, or dress myself, I would like to be referred to as "Mr. Trump."
There's more cheesy goodies at her place, each and almost every day.
More daily reads:
Stephen at Hold the Mayo. He's got his act together, so I don't have to.
That's an example of stealing an advertising slogan that doesn't quite fit.
Debbye, the Fierce American, is my main source of Canadian news. I guess I'm typically clueless about our northern neighbors because, well, there are plenty of domestic nitwits to deal with (and no, I'm not saying *all* Canadians are nitwits).
Finally, just because:

I have to agree with Bitterman on most of his points about the new Mopars.However,as a die hard Mopar junkie I tend to forgive Mopar a bit more than most people.Just so long as the cars are true Mopar design* and as long as it has potential.
As far as the revamp of the old nameplates,that is a mixed blessing.While being good media the old addage "The ain't what they used to be" does come to mind.However,on second thought,in many ways the new cars(and trucks) are better.They may not have those killer looks but they do run pretty well and are just about as reliable.Also,they still have that ol' Mopar tough.For instance;The fellows over at Team Mike Crawford/Mopar are running their 2.6 liter 4 banger in Hot Rod division at over a thousand horses using stock heads,block,rods, main bearings and crankshaft as well as a boatload of other stock stuff.Oh and BTW the old 2.2 and 2.5 liter eighties Mopars where anything but "junk".They where good to start with and with the help of Carroll Shelby and the Archer Brothers the old Direct Connection catalog wound up with all sorts of goodies.I know a few Dodge Omnis pumping out 700+ horses and running mid-tens in the quarter.
Now one thing I will agree on is the fact that the Germans are ruining Chrysler.They have been ever since the buyout(don't fall for that "merger" shit).I wonder how pissed Bitterman would be if I told him the story that i'm thinking of?Right after the buyout the Dodge division of Chrysler had approximatly 850 million dollars in cash in the bank.The nazis stole almost 700 million of it to bail out(read as buy a third of) the Mitsuwishy corp.This was after Mitsu had gotten itself 800 BILLION indebt.Yeah that's BILLION with a BIG B.It's been almost all downhill ever since.
Given that if it weren't for Chrysler we all would possibly be speaking either Japanese of German how ironic is all of this.Ted,do you want a script for a REALLY bad movie?Look no farther!
Well that's all I'm gonna rant on that for now.BTW,that is one mean looking black Bird on Smokingtoaster.I've seen a bunch of Birds in my day but that has gotta be the nicest.Awesome!For those not in the know the Superbirds and Daytonas where the most stable cars ever built.If you where cruising along at around 250+ and you where to jerk the wheel to either side it would litteraly rip the suspension out from under the car rather than spin around.Now THAT'S stable!That wing isn't just a show piece being billet aluminum.I actuall have a pic in the Sox and Martin Book of Drag Racing of Ronnie Sox standing on the wing of my all time fave Bird,the Sox and Martin drag Bird.
*When I say Mopar design I mean cars designed by the guys at Mopar and not any of that Mitsubishi crap that they used to simply fill orders.Cars like many of the mini vans,Colts,D-50's and even the 1980 Dodge Challenger one of which we owned.I still give my mother hell about trading in our beautiful pristine 78 Aspen R/T for that piece of crap.
Contrary to popular belief th eighties 2.2's and 2.5's where all Mopar and not Jap in design.

Good writing is
I've told you about the
McCovey Chronicles before, and I'm telling you again. Grant can flat out write, and he's funny as hell too.
Here's a recent gem, about something he saw at the San Fransisco Giants site:
The Budweiser Clydesdale horses will be on display near SBC Park on Friday (3-10 p.m. PT) and Saturday (11 a.m to 6 p.m. PT) in parking lot A across from the Lefty O'Doul bridge.
And his response:
The horses are a constant reminder that Budweiser tastes like something you'd milk from a horse.
He also links to blogs from many other teams, so if you don't know of one for yours, chances are he's the guy to see.
Fer instance, who knew about the Orioles Warehouse?

Daniel's "Five Things" Meme
Five things that people are wild about that I just don't get.
1. Washington Redskins - I never really disliked the Redskins until I moved into the area. Every year it's the same thing, instead of eternal optimism like Chicago Cubs fans display, the Skins fans are arrogant as hell. Right up until the moment they admit to themselves that they suck. Again.
2. Drinking - My parents were social drinkers, and I grew up knowing what beer and various liquors tasted like. I'm not anti-drinking, but I seldom think to myself, "a scotch would taste good right about now". We've always got alcohol in the house, but some of it's pretty damn old. If we go out somewhere I'll occasionally get a beer with dinner, but it's not something I do very often for some unknown reason.
3. TV - I watch very little, mostly hockey and football. If that's not on, I'll switch over to a music channel (Sirius, the satellite radio stations) and leave it on in the background. Very occasionally I'll catch an ad for something on the History Channel that I'd like to see, and sometimes I'll even remember and make a point of watching it. Other than that, eh.
4. SUV's - There are some who legitimately require 4-wheel drive and off-road capability. Medical personnel in the winter come to mind, or someone who lives way back in the country. But the soccer moms and Joe Commuter have as much need for a Cadillac Escalade as a tank needs a kickstand. They're a fad people, and you're certainly free to drive one. But they don't make you special, they don't allow you to drive as if the roads aren't wet/snowy/icy, and I hope you're going freakin' broke pumping $2.50/gallon gas into it every third day.
5. New Movies - I can't remember the last time I went to a movie theater to see a movie. I rarely hear of a movie that fires my interest enough to even remember it, let alone want to see it. Mostly I'll scan the movies for the week and I'll see something I remember being a megahit some months back, and then I'll set the Tivo to record it. Eventually I'll watch it. Maybe.
Looking back over these five, I really come across as an anti-social bastard. I think that a better explanation is that I'm pretty easy-going, so if there's something I "don't get", it's annoying enough to be a peeve.
Here are Daniel's lists.
Wanna run with this? Go for it and let me know and I'll post a link to yours.

I think the last time I went to a theater to see a movie was Oliver Stone's
Nixon. What was that, 8 frickin' years ago?
SUV's. Awful gas milage but make you feel safe. In a crash, you're the likely survivor. Drive safely, people.
TV? Haven't watched in six months 'cept for some Simpsons episodes and, now, the final Enterprise episodes. I sorta miss the 24-hour news channels, but not enough to get 'em back.
Drinking. I was a tea-totaler (sp?) most of my life. Discovered the joys of alcohol a few years ago. Need to get back to my tea-totalin' days. Yeah, I'm an open book, what of it?

I hate ranch dressing, but you might not
This week's Top Secret Recipe is for
Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing. It's only up for the week, so if you want it, grab it now.
I thought the background story was kinda neat:
Indeed, ranch dressing was invented at Hidden Valley Ranch near Santa Barbara, California, by a real salad-wranglin' rancher. In the '50s and '60s Steve Henson and his wife, Gayle, shared their 120-acre dude ranch with University of California at Santa Barbara students and other festive partiers for rousing weekend shindigs. The dozens of guests were serve meals of steaks and salads topped with Steve's special blend of herbs, spices, mayonnaise and buttermilk. As word got out about the fabulous dressing more guests were showing up at the ranch and walking home with complimentary take-home jars filled with the stuff. Eventually Steve figured he could make a little cash on the side by packaging the dressing as a dry mix and selling it through the mail. At first he was filling envelopes himself, but within a few months Steve had to hire 12 more people to help with the packaging. Soon Steve had a multi-million dollar business on his hands, from a product that for 10 years he had been giving away for free.
Dude ranch. Cowboy. Steak. Buttermilk. Don't mind me, just settin' out some Google-bait.

New and Improved!
It was only a matter of time:
"Each year, 15 million cases of bacterial food poisoning originate in U.S. home kitchens, resulting in nausea, diarrhea, fever, and even death," read a press release French's issued Monday. "Now, lunch doesn't have to endanger your health! All-new French's Antibacterial Mustard is the perfect way to add flavor to, and subtract harmful disease-causing bacteria from, your family's favorite meals!"
Coming to a television near you:
"Approximately 9,000 deaths per year are attributed to foodborne pathogens, and the most germ-filled location in the house is the kitchen," a woman says as computer-generated footage zooms in to show worm-like spirochete bacteria multiplying on a slice of bologna. "Normal mustards do nothing to combat the germs that begin forming on meats and cheeses as soon as they're taken out of the refrigerator. But an hour after spreading on our powerful French's Antibacterial Mustard, your lunch is still free of everything but zesty mustard taste!"
Not really. It's the Onion.

I feel so ashamed. After the first week, I hardly ever payed any attention to the jamboree. I thought that I would be able to keep an eye on the Rochester Americans since they were so close as well as being the 'farm' team for the Sabres. But without the NHL, I just couldn't get into hockey at all this year.
Fortunately, the Amerks won a
lot of their games this year, so much of the time I had the right logo up on my sidebar anyways...
We'll see what next year brings.

Y'know, I'm modest when it comes to bathing suits myself, but c'mon. If you get those things wet, the weight will drag you down and you'll drown...

Not Amish--they can't wear zippers. But definitely prudish by my standards. Though I'll admit...they do look comfy for bopping around town in.
I'll have to direct my Mormon and J-Wit friends to that site...

I talked about this a few months ago, but it was postponed due to the tragic tsunami that swept through that part of the world.
It's going on now. Check out the unfolding events at Silent Running.

Wanna be one of the cool kids?
The Spacemonkey has had an amazing response when he offered up Gmail invites for the asking. And since I'm nothing if not derivitive, I'll extend the same deal.
Leave a comment asking for a Gmail invite, and I'll send one to you. How's that for complicating your life?

I still don't know what Gmail is or why I would want it. What the @#$%
is Gmail, anyway?

Gmail is just Google's free mail. Their big pitch when it started was huge storage capacity, so you'd "never have to delete anything ever again". Of course, all the other free email services immediately jumped in and increased storage too.
The other thing Google did was require an "invite" to open an account. Makes it seem special. Now, everyone has a boatload of unused invitations, so they might as well scrap that nonsense.
Overall, it's a decent email program. One of many that I use for various things.

Actually, it doesn't require in invite. I just went to Google and signed up...somewhere on there...

Well, since you're asking, I'll take a Gmail invite!
Thanks,

Well I was too impatient and went to http://isnoop.net/gmail/ to get one.
They accept donated invitations!
Yours,
