Well, I've Had Just About Enough Of This Shit Already.

The Veterans Affairs office has made it a practice to report veterans to the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check system. Any veteran who needs help doing paper work or is assigned a fiduciary trustee to act on their behalf is automatically declared “mentally defective” and is reported to NICS, the database Federal Firearms Licensees use to determine whether a prospective buyer is eligible to buy guns. As of December 2015 the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs -- yes, this VA -- has reported 260,381 veterans to the FBI, effectively making them prohibited firearms possessors under the law. And who stopped a recent effort to restore these veteran's Second Amdendment rights? That'd be Illinois Democratic Senator Dick Durbin. Meanwhile, still no plans for how they're going to get guns out of the hands of fine upstanding citizens such as this.

Organizing your pots and pans can be a daunting task to tackle in your kitchen, because they are all so big and unwieldy. That, and there are lots of ways to do it, some of which work better in certain kitchens than others. Using such a rack can be a good idea in a kitchen where you've not got much cabinet space, but do have lots of wall space, or high ceilings. It seems most people think of hanging pot and pan racks as the default method for storing these items, but really there are lots of ways to do it, some of which may work better for you.

Under Armour was founded in 1996 by Kevin Plank, a then 23-year-old former special teams captain of the University of Maryland football team. Plank initially began the business from his grandmother's basement in Washington, D.C. He spent his time traveling up and down the East Coast with nothing but apparel in the trunk of his car. His first team sale came at the end of 1996 with a $17,000 sale. As of January 28, 2016 the fourth quarter net revenues for 2015 increased 31% to $1.17 Billion while the full year net revenues increased 28% to $3.96 Billion. Based on these impressive numbers, Under Armour has updated its 2016 net revenues outlook to approximately $4.95 Billion.

Looks like your regular run of the mill Mosin Nagants have crept up to $199; to be honest at this point, just cough up the extra $80 and choose an arsenal refinished Hex Receiver Dragoon with matching bayonet for $279. The ex-Dragoons are worth it, trust me.

Pop quiz, hotshot. What hotel am I looking for that affords this view towards the TI?

Abiola Aborishade doesn't want a guarantee, he just wants a chance. The former UMass Dartmouth receiver has been standing outside of Gillette Stadium every single day for the last month, trying to get the New England Patriots' attention. His message is simple: Just give me a tryout.

And you know, just this morning realized I missed out on a nice photo challenge yesterday... somewhere around Prague in the Czech Republic, I'm guessing?

I Did Insert My Favorite Title, Godammit.

For many, the end of the world might seem daunting, but for these festival goers a post-apocalyptic world in the middle of a Californian desert is a form of escapism. At least this is the case for Mike Orr who is known as 'Sweet Lips' at Wasteland Weekend - the annual four-day festival that allows lovers of the Mad Max movie franchise to see what it is really like to live in a society where civilization is crumbling. "It's the end of the world," Orr said of Wasteland Weekend, which attracts thousands from across the country. "You get to do whatever you want to do."

According to the Tumblr blog I snagged this from, this photo was taken near Gunnison Beach in New Jersey, but hell if I can figure out where. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did?

Before puberty, the abdominal region of both males and females is covered with very fine vellus hair. In response to rising levels of androgens during and after puberty, the skin of the abdomen begins to produce coarser, longer and more pigmented hair. This process affects primarily men. Initially hair grows in a vertical line from the pubic area up to the navel and from the thorax down to the navel. With some men, the abdominal hair will stay within a clearly defined vertical line, but in others, terminal hair will appear laterally as well as vertically, particularly in the area around the navel. Some women may develop a small line of hair from the pubic area up to the navel. Excessive abdominal hair on women, following the male pattern, is a type of hirsutism.

Yesterday I mentioned the NRA officially endorsed Donald Trump for president; here's his full acceptance speech.

A bimini top is an open-front canvas top for the cockpit of a boat, usually supported by a metal frame. Most biminis can be collapsed when not in use, and raised again if shade or shelter from rain is desired. The bimini is used mostly as protection from the sun; it offers little to no protection from wind, rain, or spray when moving forward at any speed. The job of the bimini top strap is to securely hold open the bimini top. Besides securing the top against wind and wooble, they will also pull the bimini open taut enough so the bimini will not hold water.

Long prized for its deeply purple, glossy beauty as well as its unique taste and texture, eggplants are now available in markets throughout the year, but they are at their very best from August through October when they are in season. Eggplants belong to the nightshade family of vegetables, which also includes tomatoes, sweet peppers and potatoes. They grow in a manner much like tomatoes, hanging from the vines of a plant that grows several feet in height. While the different varieties do range slightly in taste and texture, one can generally describe the eggplant as having a spongy texture and pleasantly bitter taste.

Much to my -- and I think everyone else's -- complete and utter surprise, the GOP has kept true to their word about not holding confirmation hearings on Anton Scalia's replacement tot he Supreme Court. And let's be honest, I think everyone was pretty sure they were going to fold by now, amirite? Anyway, this makes the upcoming Presidential election that much more important because with Scalia's vacant seat, plus an estimated two additional appointees thanks to the geriatric Ruth Bater Ginsberg is 83 years old, Anthony Kennedy is 80, and by the time the election itself rolls around, Stephen Breyer will be 78. Couple that with Obama's two appointments over his term and there's a strong chance to stack the Supreme court into a very non-Second Amendmend friendly majority for the next several generations should The Shrillz get elected. Is this enough for the rest of the sane wqorld to throw themselves begind Trump? Well, given she's not opposed to an Australian style firearm ban, the goos folks at the NRA think so, and I have to admit it, I'm coming around to that same conclusion as well,

We've featured her before, we know some of her local haunts, so let's see if we can't track down this pier with a red building at the end.

Over the course of the past few years, the Czech Republic's CEE beer brands have had to deal with many dramatic adjustments to product, business, and market behavior across the region. Changing habits or legislation drove some of these changes, while brewers themselves implemented others. At that time, parent company Plzensky Prazdroj wanted to launch a fruit-flavored beer in the Czech Republic — probably the most conservative of all CEE beer markets. Since Czech consumers at the time would be outraged atany change to their beloved liquid, Cocoon Group developed a new category just for this product: Frisco Crystal Cooler was introduced to the market with no overt connection to Plzensky Prazdroj or its other beer products.

Colombia is a country situated in the northwest of South America, bordered to the northwest by Panama; to the east by Venezuela and Brazil; to the south by Ecuador and Peru; and it shares maritime limits with Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Haiti. Colombia is rich in natural resources, and its main exports include mineral fuels, oils, forest products, coffee, sugars and sugar confectionery. The flag of Colombia is a horizontal tricolor of yellow, blue and red. The yellow stripe takes up the top half of the flag and the blue and red take up a quarter of the space each.

This Busted Knuckle garage wall clock is quite possibly the coolest way to tell time! It measures 12 inches in diameter with a black chrome bezel, a glass dome shaped face and a quartz movement driven by one AA battery. Just like neon clock, it still lets you know how much time you frittered away twisting wrenches and flipping through shop manuals while out in the garage. It features the famous Busted Knuckle logo on a great looking clock.

The Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU) is the current battledress uniform of the United States Marine Corps. It is also worn by Navy personnel (mostly corpsmen and chaplains) assigned to Marine Corps units. It replaces the Battle Dress Uniform, which the Marine Corps had shared with the Navy, Army and Air Force. Both the MCCUU, and its distinctive camouflage pattern, MARPAT, are exclusive to the Marine Corps, which holds the patents to their design, and are not available to the civilian market. MARPAT is available in two color schemes, woodland and desert. The uniforms are manufactured by Propper International, American Apparel, E.A. Industries, American Power Source, and Columbia Sewing Company.

The San Diego Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for the city of San Diego, California. Prior to the establishment of the San Diego Police Department, law enforcement services were provided by the San Diego City Marshal beginning in 1850. Ronald McDonald The first City Marshal, Agoston Haraszthy, appointed Richard Freeman a marshal, making Freeman the first African American lawman in California. Due to lack of willing individuals to take up the position, the City Marshall disbanded. In 1885 the office of City Marshal was reestablished, and in 1889, with a new city charter, the San Diego Police Department was established.

You have three challenges before you today, each more difficult than the one before it. First, you must find this UTV dealer. Secondly, you must show me what location was having an open house. And only after you complete those two missions, will I allow you to find this glass paneled tram station. Good luck.

If Only Our Politicians Were As Honest As Jon Basso.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is without a doubt, the most honest man in America. As for me? I had a Double Bypass burger, which I technicaly finished but since I didn't eat all of my fries, I ended up getting my ass paddled and yes, I won. And yes, you feel just as fucking gluttonous as you might imagine.

As one method of reducing the adverse effects of air bags, especially for children, NHTSA is requiring new, attention getting labels. These new labels would not be required on vehicles having a "smart" passenger-side air bag, i.e., an air bag that would automatically shut off or adjust its deployment so as not to adversely affect children. This rule also requires rear-facing child seats to bear a new, enhanced warning label to replace the existing label. This rule requires vehicles with air bags to bear three new warning labels. Two of the labels replace existing labels on the sun visor. The third is a temporary label on the dash. The labels will help reduce the adverse effects by increasing the number of people who read and understand the message of the warning labels.

Gooderham and Worts was a Canadian company that was once the largest distiller of alcoholic beverages in Canada. Its former manufacturing facilities on the Toronto Waterfront are today the well-known Distillery District. So it wouldn't be much of a challenge to ask you to find these two lamp posts, they're located right under this overhead facilities span at the Gooderhamand and Warts distillery. As for yesterday's challenge, I had a lot of people identify the tattoo or identify the poster, but only one who nailed both with supporting links...

Okay, a little shooting novelty item here: a compact inexpensive pistol rail red laser sight for $11 shipped. Now I say novelty item because let's be honest, it's made in China and ships to your door for the cost of a bucket of beer. Would I trust this thing if I were a hostage negotiator? I would not. If you're looking for something to keep its zero with larger defensive caliber handguns, you'll probably want to consider this Crimson Trace for $115. But for a few disposable knock arounds to plink with? How can youy beat $11?

Next, I was going to have you find where to buy this nice lady a drink, but that turns out to be just a few feet down from where this photo was taken, in front of the Four Points Sheraton in New Orleans.

Bailers can double as fire buckets onboard vessels if they are suitable for collecting water as well as throwing it out. Regulations require each boat to carry buckets that can be used to bail if the boat is taking water and to try and extinguish flames if a fire starts. Fire buckets are carried on board pleasure craft to fight fires. They must meet four requirements. First. they must be painted red. Second, they must have a capacity of at least 10 litres. Third, they must be made of metal with a round bottom and a hole in the center, and finally, have an attached lanyard that is long enough to reach the water from the location where the bucket is stored.

The 2016 Election As Illustrated By Television Doctors.

Donald Trump = Dr House: crass, insulting, self-centered, doesn't give a shit about feelings or political correctness. May not necessarily know the immediate answer, but has enough sense to surround himself with people who do. Only wants to find the solution to a problem and move on.

Hillary Clinton = Dr Oz: puts on a good show thanks to a small network of very powerful supporters. Somehow manages to be everywhere, despite an intense dislike by the general populace. Really only gives a shit about making money, usually doing so at someone else's expense.

Bernie Sanders = Dr Phil: talks like he has experience with, and the solution to, every problem. But scratch below the surface and you'll discover he's batshit crazy. Often supports ideas that have been publicly condemned for years. Taking his advice is often more dangerous than not.

Now I know what you're thinking. Not a fair comparison, because Dr Oz and Dr Phil are at least real people, and Dr House is just a fictional character. True, but completely beside the point. From the perspective of the television viewer, none of these doctors are any more or less real than the other two; they're all just people you see on TV. So while none of them are the ideal doctor let me ask you, which one would you want to be treated by?

The Asian conical hat is a simple style of conical hat originating in Southeast Asia, used primarily as protection from the sun and rain. It was worn by native soldiers, particularly Tagalogs, Kapampangans, and Ilocanos of the Spanish Colonial Army during the later years of Spanish colonial period. Similarly in India and Borneo, the plain conical hat was worn by commoners during their daily work, but more decoratively-colored ones were used for festivities.

Lots of Shit Today, So Pay Attention And Take It All In. Yeah That's Right, Take It Alllll In.

If you find that you have more headaches and migraines while at work, it may be the office lighting. Traditional office lighting generally presents three potential headache and migraine triggers: glare on computer screens from any overhead lighting, glare from overhead incandescent lighting, and flicker from fluorescent lighting. Glare on a computer screen from overhead lighting may be the easiest to address, and glare from incandescent light bulbs can often be handled in a number of ways. But the problem with fluorescent lighting is different and more difficult to address. Although generally imperceptible to the human eye, fluorescent lighting has a flicker. It's the flicker itself that's actually a migraine trigger. Thus, it doesn't matter what kind of fixture houses the tubes, people who are sensitive to that flicker will have a problem with it.

I'm not sure if you caught this in the news, but fast food giant McDonald's has quietly made a change to one its most popular items: the Quarter Pounder, and its kissing cousin, the Quarter Pounder with Cheese. The sandwich now defies burger math and includes 4.25 ounces of beef, slightly more than its former size of 4 ounces before cooking. No word on how much the beef shrinks after hitting the grill, but the former 4-ounce patty cooked down to just 2.8 ounces after heating.

A feud simmering since Blue Jay's Jose Bautista's bat flip in last year's ALDS boiled over into a brawl in the final game of the season between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers. Bautista and Texas second baseman Rougned Odor got into a fistfight behind the bag after a hard slide by the Toronto slugger at Odor's legs in the midst of a double play in the top of the eighth inning. Players from both teams rushed the field, and Odor shoved Bautista then landed a punch to his face.

An elliptical trainer is a stationary exercise machine used to simulate stair climbing, walking, or running without causing excessive pressure to the joints, hence decreasing the risk of impact injuries. For this reason, people with some injuries can use an elliptical to stay fit, as the low impact affects them little. Elliptical trainers offer a non-impact cardiovascular workout that can vary from light to high intensity based on the speed of the exercise and the resistance preference set by the user. Elliptical trainers first entered the residential market in the 1990s, invented by Precor. But this one doesn't seem to be a Precor, so what make and model is it?

The developers at iD Software say there is one classic DOOM level in every new DOOM mission, although the classic DOOM levels aren't exactly as they were. You won't be fighting the original's monsters or using their simple weapons. This is closer to that similar Wolfenstein: The New Order Easter egg. You'll move through levels that look just like the classics, flat geometric corridors with low-resolution textures and all, but using the upgraded DOOM (2016) weapons. Finding and completing these levels should be worthwhile, even if you're not one of the original super-fans.

It's that time of year – the time when we get mud, mud, and more mud! And once the mud has dried it's bath time! But it's late on a weekday, and you don't have any dog shampoo on hand. Let's concede that shampoo made for people will clean your dog, but the question is, is it good for your dog? This may seem like a quibbling question, but it can actually have far-reaching consequences. Depending on breed, gender, climate, and the anatomical size on the dog, the pH levels range from 5.5 to 7.5, tending toward a more alkaline concentration. Therefore, if a shampoo that is formulated for human skin is used on a dog, the dog's acid mantle will be disrupted, creating an environment where bacteria, parasites, and viruses can run rampant. Unknowingly, many pet owners will repeat washings of their dogs because of the smell caused by a proliferation of bacteria, making the problem worse as the skin's acid mantle/pH level becomes more imbalanced.

It's kind of funny, I didn't check the date of that article before starting to read it, and as soon as I got to, "they are excellent rifles for the typical $70-$100 street price... can easily be had for a stunningly low $.25 a round," I was convinced this article was a couple of years old. Sure enough, Febaruary of 2014. Because the rifles themselves are now upwards of $185 and surplus ammo -- when you can find it -- is now over $0.40 per round. Still, great article though. I'd love to be able to reliably reach out and touch a clay pigeon at 300 yards, but I don't want to modify my Mosins. #RIFLEISFINE

Pool drains contain water within the pool area while providing a safe play area for children and bare feet. Pool drains are more concerned with the presence of barefoot people and less worried about protecting the house from water issues. A major factor for deciding which pool drain to choose is determining your balance between safety and aesthetics. We all want to have a safe pool environment. For pool decks that get a lot of bare foot traffic, safety and economy may be a higher priority. Plastic perforated covers will be safe on the little feet and will be less costly than metal grating.

A sailboat's pivot point is just behind the mast. Notice that the majority of the mainsail is behind the pivot point. When sailing with only a mainsail, the force that the wind applies behind the pivot point is greater than the force in front of the pivot point. This leads to a sailboat wanting to turn up into the wind when sailing with only a mainsail. To counteract that force, you have to pull the tiller toward the wind slightly. If the wind is strong, and your boat is moving slowly, the rudder might not be able to overcome the mainsail. If you add a jib sail to the front of the boat, it balances out those forces, which makes the boat easier to control.

Last weekend during the Kentucky Derby, it was reported that Tiger Woods' ex-girlfriend Lindsey Vonn had requested to be seated away from his ex-wife Elin Nordegren at various parties. It was speculated that there was some bad blood between the two, but that doesn't seem to be the case, judging by the fact that they all posed for a fembot-style pic at one of the events.

Busch Gardens in Tampa is renowned for its insane collection of roller coasters, and the latest has had a POV video released in anticipation of its opening date sometime later this year.

America's fascination with owning more than one automobile, house, investment property, job or career has created the need to carry more and more keys. If you carry a large key chain and have it hang from your car's ignition switch you could be causing damage which will need to be repaired at an auto repair shop at some point. If you carry more than 4-8 keys on your key ring you may damaging sensitive internal ignition switch parts. The weight of a heavy key chain can pull downward on the ignition key/steering lock, causing the barrels inside the lock to wear down. Once these internal parts start wearing down, this is when you may start experiencing intermittent starting problems.

QV is one of the few brands to use glycerol in many of its products. Glycerol is a naturally occurring humectant, which helps the skin retain moisture, protecting the skin against irritation. Glycerol isn't greasy and won't block pores, and leaves skin feeling smooth and soft. Sodium lauryl sulphate is found in some soaps and can irritate the skin, so the QV range is SLS free and also free from fragrance, color, lanolin and propylene glycol to help cleanse and moisturise without irritation. QV Gentle Wash innovative formulation maintains skin hydration during cleansing to ensure the skin is left clean and soft, not dry and tight.

It was a winter morning in 1978, that the body of a young barmaid was discovered in the snow banks of a Scottish cemetery. The only suspects in her brutal murder were the four young men who found her: Alex Gilbey and his three best friends. With no evidence but her blood on their hands, no one was ever charged. Twenty five years later, the Cold Case file on Rosie Duff has been reopened. For Alex and his friends, the investigation has also opened old wounds, haunting memories-and new fears. For a stranger has emerged from the shadows with his own ideas about justice. And revenge. -- Bestselling, award-winning author Val McDermid delivers her most stunning story yet in The Distant Echo -- an intricate, thought-provoking tale of murder and revenge.

We've seen no shortage of spectacular crashes in Formula One in recent years, and each is a testament to the level of safety engineered into the cars. Two yeaars ago, you saw Kimi Raikkonen hit a wall at 150 mph during the British Grand Prix, you appreciate how remarkably strong, and safe, a modern Formula 1 car is. The Ferrari driver experienced a 47G impact when he went nose-first into wall yet limped away with no major injuries. And just recently, the FIA is investigating Fernando Alonso's horrific crash at the Australian Grand Prix after discovering that Alonso's carbon fiber seat broke after he sustained 46Gs.

Everyone has the same 90%.. the same features, the same pricing, the same. Do you want to know the difference between a good and great is? It's the last 10%. That last 10% is the real difference. It is the part that separates you from your competitors. It's the blood, sweat, and tears of detail. It's the extra effort to make things just right. And sure, the last 10% might take 50% of your time, but time is not what we're measuring; we're measuring the difference between good and great. Need this explained in more tangingle terms? If you're good, you can show me where she got an ice cream. But if you're great, you can show me where she got an apple.

Capitalize on the beauty of the beach and the strength-enhancing workout running on sand provides. Beach running—especially on dry, loose sand—strengthens your arches, ankles and other below-the-knee muscles more than running on harder surfaces. Several studies have found that running on sand consumes more energy than running on asphalt, burning as many as 1.6 more calories per mile. There's also much less impact force when you run on sand, resulting in less abuse to your knee and ankle joints.

Inventive and playful, Linnea Pergola's works are fanciful excursions into a world of real and imagined cityscapes, street scenes, and whimsical destinations. Spurred on by an incurable case of wanderlust, Pergola finds that her dreams of being somewhere else in place and time are at the heart of her creative drive and vision. Her mixed-media images, combined with a vividly imaginative, naive style, have earned Pergola a widespread following in the world of art. In contrast to her enchanting portrayals of faraway places and fantasy, Pergola's life in Los Angeles gave her an intimate respect for big cities.

Brittany Renner is known more as a fitness/workout guru than anything else, but because she depends on social media to get her name out to the public, she's not afraid to break into other sports to get people's attention. And it certainly doesn't hurt that she's wearing incredibly little and doing crazy little in-the-club dances while she does it.

Ahh, the EHOWA stick figures. Here they are back in January of 2001 -- and don't get freaked out, the most recent update used a script to always display the current date. Ah, the good old days. But, since you seem to have hit a home run on what I thought was an impossible challenge, let me pitch you another. I've been holding onto this photo for the better part of a year, and haven't posted it for the same reason. Is that some sort of title company, perhaps?

Also from back in the day, After Independence Day redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet.

A triptychis a work of art -- usually a panel painting -- that is divided into three sections, or three carved panels that are hinged together and can be folded shut or displayed open. It is therefore a type of polyptych, the term for all multi-panel works. The photographs are usually arranged with a plain border between them, with the center panel is typically the tallest and it is flanked by two smaller related works, although there are triptychs of equal-sized panels.

Putting your hair in a wrap is also a great way to keep your head warm after a shower in the winter.

The Guatemalan spiny-tailed iguana belongs to the group of spiny-tailed iguanas of Mexico and Central America, which are united by the possession of a spiky tail that can be used to defend itself. The Guatemalan spiny-tailed iguana has a relatively slender body that is greyish-brown with some blackish banding. It also exhibits a large dewlap -- a flap of skin that lies under the chin -- that is more conspicuous in adult males than females, and a row of flattened spines runs along the centre of the back.

As if you needed another reason to think Ronda Rousey is a cunt, apparently Rousey was livid that Paige VanZant had the audacity to congratulate Holly Holm on defeating Rousey and winning the UFC bantamweight championship back in November. So when VanZant came up to Rousey to make some small talk at the party, Rousey went apeshit on her. And in case you don't recall who Paige VanZant is, let me remind you.

One Of My Friends Has A Birthday Today, But Fuck All if I Can Remember Who.

Milk-Bone is a brand of dog biscuit. It was created in 1908 by the F. H. Bennett Biscuit Company, which operated a bakery on the Lower East Side of New York City. Originally named Maltoid, the biscuit was a bone-shaped treat made from minerals, meat products, and milk. Sometime between 1915 and 1926, the biscuit was simply named "Milk-Bone", owing to the high composition of cow's milk. In 1931, the bakery was acquired by the National Biscuit Company (now Nabisco). Over the next few decades, the Milk-Bone was expanded to include a number of different flavors, such as chicken and beef. The marketing focus was also shifted from Milk-Bone being merely a dog treat to a product that promoted cleaner teeth and better breath.

Wicker is not actually a material, but a method of weaving. Traditionally, natural plant materials were used to manufacture a variety of different products including baskets, trays, indoor and outdoor furniture. Wicker was originally made from natural fibers, such as rattan, a vine like plant. Rattan is somewhat elastic and often used to produce baskets, hampers and chairs. The branch-like material is woven together for the purpose of constructing various wicker items. Resin wicker is a similar looking material. Synthetic polyethylene fiber resin wicker is generally durable, resistant to the sun's UV radiation and water. Resin wicker is often used over an aluminum frame to create lightweight outdoor furniture.

So here was a very frustrating almost-challenge. Aside from a stunning set of tits, there is absolutely nothing remarkable about this photograph. I can't identify the arched builing in the background. I can't quite make out the brand on top of the drink cooler (bu-something?). The flowered handbang is very ordinary. The sign on the pillar has the colors of the Brazilian flag. Blue sarong. But that's it. Absolutely nothing of note. So instead, I'm going to issue three other quick challenges. Does anyone recognize this airport from the control tower? Can anyone identify what this blurred poster is for? And finally, given the left hand drive, can you identify the make and model of this European car?

FRIDAY FLICK: "I had a grandfather who wanted to be a Navy man. He wanted to fire them big guns off them big-ass battleships. Navy says to him "No. You can only do one thing on a battleship, son. That's cook." And I'm not talking about a hundred years ago. I'm talking United States Navy, middle of World War II. You know the reason they gave him? The reason why they told my grandfather he couldn't fight for his country? 'Cause negroes can't see at night. Bad night vision.' So you see, O'Neil. I know where you're coming from. 'Cause to them, you're just the new nigger on the block, that's all. Maybe you just moved in a little too early."

As is known from previous studies by the University of Jena, caffeine protects the hair roots from testosterone attacks and provides them with the necessary growth energy. Although shampoos were used exclusively to cleanse scalp and hair in the past, Dr. Kurt Wolff-Research has now succeeded in developing a method for transporting caffeine all the way to the hair roots based on a shampoo formula. It has even been proven to slow down hereditary hair loss. Now you can bring this unique active ingredient to your hair roots during normal hair washing – with Alpecin, Germany's first caffeine shampoo.

Crystal Houses are almost completely transparent, thanks to novel construction elements like a clear adhesive that does the work of opaque mortar, and bricks made out of solid glass. The resultant structure fits onto an existing traditional building, but in the future there could be entire buildings made using the Crystal House techniques.

Throughout the 20th century red-and-white checked tablecloths in restaurants sent clear messages to patrons: this restaurant is inexpensive, friendly, and unpretentious. Whether ethnic or “American” they suggested that the customer was in a homey place, either authentically old fashioned or old world. The fabric itself dates far back into the 19th century. Already by 1900 tablecloths were seen as old fashioned. But unlike other material culture of restaurant-ing, the meanings of the red-and-white tablecloths were created as much by fundraising events and celebrations sponsored by churches, clubs, and schools as they were by restaurants.

Today Is Tuesday. And Yes It Shall Be Tasteless.

During the day today, I needed to swing past the drive-thru at my bank. I got there to find long lines, and resigned myself to spending a bit of time there. An inveterate people watcher, I began to inspect the cars around me for someone 'interesting' to watch. A quick scan of my neighbors found no attractive women to fantasize about. Damn. Better settle for weird. I looked to the car on my right, and lo, paydirt. The late-model Cherokee held three occupants, but, from the look of it, those three shared the intellectual capacity of perhaps one and a half. It appeared to be a mother with her two boys, out for a little excursion.

Mom wore the cares and sorrows of a woman twice her age in her wrinkled and frowning face. She gazed off into the sky, paying little attention to her two charges. Her eyes, in particular, were sad and worn looking. I wondered if she knew whether it was her defective genes, or hubby's that resulted in the outpouring of birth from her loins. Just wondering who to blame, you know. Anyway, imagine her pride on Mother's Day! There were hints of an emerging trailer park queen about her, but she hadn't quite evolved to that point. She was woefully under the necessary heft and girth, and she had not yet graduated to a thrift-shop wardrobe. I am confident, however, that with a little focused effort, she could become a candidate for the Springer show within a year, two at most.

But, I digress. The stars of the show were clearly the boys. Both mongoloid, the one in the front seat looked much brighter than his brother, who sat behind mom. They both wore caps, and with a little neck craning, I could see that the hats bore their names in white iron-on letters. Perhaps they were souvenirs from a trip to a local fair, or, possibly part of mom's management strategy, in case she lost them at the mall. The one in the front seat was labeled "KENNY". His face narrower, his features less round, able to keep his mouth halfway closed, he appeared to be a higher functioning lad. He wore glasses, which lent a dignified and intellectual air to his countenance. He reminded me somewhat of the boy that played in that "heartwarming" family TV show a few years back, except he wasn't quite as bright looking. I can't recall the name of the show, but I'm sure someone will. His brother, "TIMMY", looked as though he had been much more seriously shortchanged in the genetic material department. Timmy had the broad round face, vacant eyes and drooling open mouth of a true mongoloid. Less animated than Kenny, and slouching against the restraint of his shoulder belt, Timmy was clearly befuddled by most of what was around him.

As I stared over at him, little Timmy slowly turned toward me. I'm not sure what motivated him, I'd like to think he was aware of my boredom, and sick need for entertainment (maybe I mean "need for sick entertainment"), but truthfully, I think that's unlikely. At any rate, lil' Timmy fixed me in his baleful stare, and without any discernible movement, proceeded to empty the contents of his stomach on the inside of the window. He sat calmly while a yellowish, mostly liquid, stream of vomit gushed forth in potent waves, splashing off the window, back onto his shoulder and face. Kenny was the first to notice, and he began what appeared to be agitated laughing. Mom spun around to help but there was little to be done.

I was curious what mom was going to do. Would she pull out of line and deal with the mess, or let Timmy sit tight until she could conduct her business, then exit the line more gracefully. I watched as she barked out some orders to Kenny, and he obediently exited the car, opened the rear passenger door, climbed in, and began swabbing the puke off of his brother's face and clothes with Kleenex. Of course, we all know that Kleenex are hardly the appropriate product to use in such a situation. As soon as the wet barf soaked the tissue, and reached his hands, his laughter and glee with the whole situation faded. He began to show his distaste, as his mom pulled wad after wad of Kleenex and thrust them into to his increasingly unwilling hands. Eventually the sights, smells and stimulus must have become to much for Kenny, because in mid-swab, he opened his eyes and mouth wide, and, lurching forward, he donated his lunch to Timmy. He caught Timmy on the shoulder and back with his first heave. Having completed his humanitarian gesture, of sharing, he disappeared below my field of vision. Kenny's vomit was not as runny, so the chunks stayed put on Timmy. Decorated twice, Timmy looked just ducky by this time.

I was nearly doubled over my steering wheel at the antics going on next to me. I was waiting for mom to turn around and blow chunks on Timmy, if for no other reason than to make it a true "family affair". Sadly, I suspect her charmed life of living with Kenny and Timmy had given her a strong stomach for such things. Unfortunately, my line moved forward at this point, and I was unable to keep a close watch on them any more. I was nearly unable to compose myself to deal with the teller, but managed to choke back the laughter enough to get through. After completing my transaction I pulled away from the bank, but not without glancing into my rear view mirror to bid a fond farewell to Kenny, Timmy and mom. They made my day. I hope they made yours as well. -- the old bastard

So here is an honest to goodness photo challenge. I picked this photo, and hell if I can find the original gallery again, because I was hoping other photos from the set yield might enough clues to track down what marina/hotel she's staying at. But I'm shit out of luck, so I dunno.

Sure, you're happy with your car now, but what about after the inevitable collapse of civilization?

With Immortus, you'll be cruising the post-apocalyptic landscape looking for food and escaping packs of cannibal mutants with only the power of the sun keeping the engine revving.

Established in 1564, Svijany Brewery is one of the oldest Czech breweries. The first mention of Svijany dates from 1345, when the village was owned by a Cistercian monastery located in Mnichovo Hradiste. In 1565 the village became the property of Jaroslav of Vartemberk, who built a fortress there, but the brewery was already operating by 1564, and it continued to operate to the benefit of Jaroslav's estate. Upon Jaroslav's death in 1602, the village, fortress, and brewery all passed to Jachym Ondrej Slik. As a rebel against Habsburg rule of Bohemia, he was executed in 1621, and Svijany came under control of the Wallenstein family through 1814. In 1820, Svijany passed to control of the Rohan family. In 1945 the brewery was confiscated and nationalized as part of the state-owned North Bohemian Breweries, which was dissolved in 1990, at which point Svijany became part of the state-owned Breweries of Vratislavice nad Nisou. Later threatened with closure due to a sales crisis, Svijany was sold to the newly established Pivovar Svijany in 1998.

Proper aquarium lighting is essential to fish and aquatic plants; it brings an aquarium to life. Native tropical fish and plants live within 23 degrees of the equator and experience about 12 hours of light and darkness. To recreate tropical conditions, leave the aquarium light on for 12 hours a day. Some tropical fish, such as the elephant nose fish, prefer dim lighting, and so if they're included, provide them with plenty of hiding spaces. Tropical plants add beauty, color and often become food supplements for fish. They thrive in proper lighting, producing oxygen and remove harmful waste products.

JaMarcus Trenell Russell is a former American football quarterback. He played college football at LSU, where he finished 21–4 as a starter and was named MVP of the 2007 Sugar Bowl. The Oakland Raiders selected Russell with the first overall pick of the 2007 NFL Draft, and Russell held out until the Raiders signed him to a contract worth $61 million with $32 million guaranteed. A tremendous disappointment, Russell only played three seasons with the Raiders, compiling 7–18 record as a starter. Due to his inconsistent play, the Raiders released him in May of 2010, and Russell has the distinction of heading the list of NFL draft busts this century, and recently wrote to Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys, offering to be their waterboy and play for free.

A radome -- a portmanteau of radar and dome -- is a structural, weatherproof enclosure that protects a microwave antenna. The radome is constructed of material that minimally attenuates the electromagnetic signal transmitted or received by the antenna. In other words, the radome is transparent to radar or radio waves. Radomes protect the antenna surfaces from weather and conceal antenna electronic equipment from public view. They also protect nearby personnel from being accidentally struck by quickly rotating antennas.

Grilling gives yellow potatoes a crispy skin that enhances the dense flesh, creating a slightly sweet caramelized flavor. The creamy texture and golden color of yellow potatoes mean you can use less or no butter for lighter, healthier dishes. The naturally smooth and buttery texture also lends itself well to lighter versions of baked, roasted or mashed potatoes. Simmer yellow potatoes until fully cooked, then drain, chill, peel and gently slice into flat discs. Brown these in oil or clarified butter and serve as a side or appetizer topped with sour cream and chives or other garnishes.
