Nightly Ramble:The cracks are showing; more
2008-09-17 22:02:00 OK, before you start, it turns out there’s a lot of texture on those old historical markers, that make them a bear to touch up, and my graphic tools aren’t up to that drill. At least one of you should recognize the real location… in Dryden, NY. I took this a few years ago. That said, let’s get to it. It’s amazing. Despite all of the facts, only part of which I laid out this monring, Nancy Pelosi still claims the Democrats are not at all responsible for the current financial situation. The Hill explains. This woman needs to be gone. I mean, really. A short memory, perhaps? In what has to be the most crass CYA move I’ve ever seen, she’s ordered a Wall Street Probe. Of course the current Senate leader, Harry Reid, also suffers from a short memory. He blames Phil Graham for the current meltdown… saying Graham wrote legislation deregulating the home loan industries… but it turns out it was legislation both Reid and Joe Bide...

How To Repair Cracks In Asphalt Driveways
2008-05-19 17:02:00 If you own an asphalt driveway in a part of the country that freezes in the winter then most likely you have visible cracks in that driveway. Cracks are typically formed as a result of the freeze/thaw action and frost heaves. It is important to repair those cracks in the spring after they appear to help keep those cracks from turning into much larger problems.Once a pavement cracks it allows water to seep down into the sub-base. The water can then freeze and create even worse frost heaving and additional cracking and failure of the pavement. Sealing cracks in asphalt driveways is a very easy do-it-yourself project that doesn't require any special tools or knowledge.Last week I sealed several cracks in my driveway. I used Latexite 2X Premium Asphalt Crack Filler with pretty good results. The product is really easy to use. First you need to clean out the crack making sure to remove any debris, grass or old crack filler. Then you cut the tip on the bottle and fill the crack. They reco...

NCsoft Europe cracks down on Illegal Private Servers
2008-04-17 09:50:00 NCsoft® is once again cracking down on illegal private servers and iCafes providing services/access to these illegal servers. It is interesting to note that here in the Philippines, the iCafe business was “saved” by the Online Gaming Industry and helped it boom. The reason - no game licensing fees. Online Games were also said to have become very popular because there is no piracy, however, the mere distribution of illegal private server installers is in itself an act of piracy. The number one supporter of this modern piracy are the businesses that was saved by the online gaming industry - Internet Cafes ("iCafes"). How ironic, just go from one iCafe to another (be it a residential iCafe or an iCafe chain), you will see support for Ragnarok Online private servers, not only that, there are also private server support for Mu Online, Lineage® II, World of Warcraft, Gunbound (imagine that, a private server for a free-to-play online game), and Priston Tale (to menti...

Kuwait Cracks Down on Travestites
2008-04-01 09:38:00 The Kuwait government, acting on a new law added to its already repessive dress code, began arresting tranvestites who were in violation of new regulations which criminalize cross dressing. The law states: “Any person committing an indecent act in a public place or imitating the appearance of a member of the opposite sex, shall be subject to imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year or fine not exceeding one thousand dinars($3,500). The police did not waste any time in executing the law’s provisions. Fourteen people were arrested in the initial round up and reports indicate at least three were beaten by the police. Human Rights Watch insists the law “violates basic rights to privacy and free expression, and those continuing arrests show why it should be repealed.” What can one say about such laws. They have no place in any society which respects the rights of people to express themselves in non-violent ways.
Redskin cracks top 10 receivers of all time list
2008-03-26 19:16:00 I'm busy so I need to keep this short. Mike Sando at ESPN asked a panel of experts -- justified at the bottom of the article -- who the best wide receivers of all time were. A Redskin cracked the top 10, but probably not the guy you're thinking of: 6. CHARLEY TAYLOR Career: Played for Redskins 1964-77. All-time leading receiver with 649 catches for 9,110 yards when he retired. Elected to Hall of Fame in 1984. Quick quote: "Those types of athletes who played more than one position --- Charley Taylor -- are worth the price of admission just to see them line up. That is an athlete right there, a subject in itself." -- [Raymond] Berry Art Monk came close: Among those left on the outside, Art Monk, [Raymond] Berry and James Lofton came closest to cracking the top 10... Monk drew two top-five selections, topped by a No. 4 ranking from Johnson. Three other panelists left off Monk entirely. Johnson, the youngest panelist by a wide margin, steered clear of ranking players from earlier e...

Gold cracks $1000. What comes next: $500, or $2000?
2008-03-14 09:23:00 Remember when people were mocking HP'ers for talking about gold when it was at $500?Same people are probably still not getting it with gold at $1000Here's the best I can sum this up: It's not about gold. It's about the dollar.Oil, corn, wheat, soybeans, silver, aluminum, gold... It really doesn't matter. What matters is that the dollar is being turned into toilet paper on purpose by Ben Bernanke, Hank Paulson and George Bush.Invest wisely. Gold is a historically crappy investment, but has always been and will always be the #1 store of value when fiat currencies go bust.You ain't seen nothing yet. But oh, what a wild ride it will be (up and down).

Dubious Frame Cracks
2008-02-19 00:04:00 Here's a crack on the down tube of a carbon fiber composite Cannondale System Six, noted by the user after 3 months of regular riding. The clear coat is surprisingly intact. Cannondale agrees with the user's dealer, concluding that it resulted from a crash. A crack without damage to the clear coat is dubious. It seems to me to be a fault during manufacturing or packaging.One can see the crack in good lighting.Here's another 'crack' in the top tube of a Scott Addict Limited 2007. Again, the clear coat is in near to perfect condition. It almost looks like a cosmetic flaw to me, but with carbon fiber, you can't take any chances.Both sound like warranty issues and should be communicated with the dealer, or the bicycle company itself.

This may give them some eco-cred, but it feels a bit hollow considering that they don't hesitate to sell trips to sunny paradise islands.
