More Astute Observations From Emmitt Smith
2008-05-05 06:11:00 I came across this tidbit while cruising my RSS feed and got a great laugh. We’ve poked fun at Emmitt Smith in the past, but now he’s making it too easy. How much money is he getting paid for this profound wisdom? You’d think since Emmitt was in the league for over a decade he’d have ...

Astute duckie
2007-12-07 08:12:00 Analysis of the week on dream submitted by Nicole in Victoria, Australia. Dream : I entered a room and observed a psychic giving a tarot read for a client. I passed them then, felt drawn back. The card reader sensed my presence and smiled. Next, I communicated from inside a card on the table. Three ducklings stood on a flat, rocky ledge. One duck held down a black rain hat in a gust of wind. Another peered over the edge with a sword. The third spread wings, ready to fly. Predominant Emotions : curiosity, reassurance, preparedness, lingering fear. Interpretation : To detect a psychic draws attention to the unknown, your destiny and hopes. You may worry about uncertainty and believe answers about the future lie outside yourself. Part of you realizes you’re an astute observer of what is really happening, but you’re unsure about whom to trust or when to voice your views. Ducks tend to highlight spiritual freedom and unconscious traits. These multi-talented creatures walk, sw...
Predicting the future - hogwash or astute observation?
2007-12-01 18:10:00 As I read through my daily round of blogs I am struck yet again by the stark differences in liberal vs. conservative views of the world. Not just differences of opinion about what SHOULD be, but differences of opinion about what IS, each side being convinced that the other is delusional. I learned long ago (so long ago that I no longer remember where I learned it) that where there is disagreement about what is, the best test is the ability of each side to accurately predict the results of any action. Applying that test was what made me switch, years ago, from registered Democrat to registered Republican - my personal review of the policies of each party showed that, overall, Democrat policies all too often produced long-term undesirable consequences. As a for-instance, the liberal love of welfare of all kinds, instead of producing successful individuals by giving a hand-up to the needy, has produced entire generations of welfare dependants, many unwilling to work for what the...

Royal Navy Submarine HMS Astute was launched today
2007-06-08 19:20:00 HMS Astute will be the Royal Navy's most stealthy and well armed submarine, capable of delivering pin-point strikes at 2,000km with Tomahawk cruise missiles. She will also be armed with the new Spearfish torpedo weapon system. The largest and most powerful nuclear attack submarine, Astute will be equipped with the world?s most advanced sonar system, communications and intelligence gathering equipment. A new advanced nuclear power core means HMS Astute will never have to be refuelled throughout her 25-year operational life. She will also produce her own air and water meaning she can circumnavigate the globe without needing to surface. Designed entirely in a three dimensional computer aided environment, Astute has been designed entirely with performance in mind, not size or cost.Taking part in the launch ceremonies were frigate HMS Lancaster, destroyer HMS Exeter, plus patrol boats HMS Charger and HMS Biter. All four vessels are berthed at either Town Quay or Buccleuch Dock (Barrow)...

An astute comment from an ignorant anonatroll
2007-05-30 13:29:00 Sometimes we get comments so stupid, so ignorant, so completely clueless, that they deserve their own thread.This is one of those cases.This anonatroll (man, I wish the trolls would pick a user name so we could mock them later) said that you can't have inflation and decreasing asset prices.Guess what. We do. And we will.House prices (assets) and rents are falling, while consumable and service prices are increasing. We'll continue to see asset deflation (as they're overpriced and returning to the mean, and people sell their assets to get to cash - read manias, panics and crashes) while we see inflation on other goods and services. Also HP'ers know the government inflation data is misleading, especially since rents are the #1 category, and rents are falling thank you housing oversupply.Another anonatroll said don't worry about home prices - they'll increase as the dollar gets more and more worthless. Uh, got bad news for you. House prices will fall or stay even in real terms for...

Royal Navy - Fourth Astute Class Submarine HMS Audacious is on order.
2007-05-29 08:52:00 HMS Audacious, the Royal Navy?s fourth Astute-class submarine will go into build later this year. BAE systems have received £200m to commence work on the project which will take place in their Barrow-in-Furness facility.Audacious is named after a 74-gun third-rate ship which served under Nelson, a Victorian ironclad which served on the China Station and, perhaps most famously, a Great War dreadnought which fell victim to a mine off Northern Ireland in October 1914.The Navy are considering a further two Astute class submarines. Rear Admiral Stevens, Flag Officer Submarines said: "The services SSN (Ship Submersible Nuclear) community has made a decisive break away from its Cold War emphasis on anti-submarine warfare (ASW) to embrace the Navy's new operational concept of Maritime Contributions to Joint Operations. The challenge now is to realise the full potential of the SSN across its wider range of tasking. Operations in direct support of surface forces are becoming a far more impor...

Another astute observation on how Capt. America "ended"
2007-03-10 18:31:00 I hadn't noted this previously, but in Peter Sanderson's latest op-ed on Quick Stop Entertainment, he makes a good point about how Cap "ended" his career in defeat:The end of Civil War, in which Captain America decides he is wrong for fighting for the freedom of his fellow superheroes, and an already infamous Civil War: Frontline sequence in which a woman self-righteously denounces the Captain for knowing nothing about America since he doesn?t waste time on YouTube (Say what? I would think Cap keeps himself rather busy continually saving the lives of this woman and other Americans over the course of his career. This woman?s attitude smacks of ageism. This suggests that 21st century Marvel regards the original Captain as a dated character. ??He hasn't been living in the modern world and the world does move," says Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada.? in the CNN report.And here I think of Captain America as representing American ideals, which have endured for over two hundred years,... |
