I think they update it, and then change the link. I was just pointing out that it takes a LOT of rain to fill the traps, and keep them filled for any length of time. Looks like the only serious damage was a couple sink holes under roads. Be warned: Grammer police are going to go nuts with this...

Bozo: I don't think I could handle that. I love dogs, but the ones I would want tend to have a short life span, 10 years. It would crush me to have to put one down. JTR: The only good thing I can say about dry cat food is it might be good for teeth, and should be left dry for that reason. That...

5-9 inches in rain in the areas I'm going to, and 75 mile an hour winds a mile from our house. http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc3.html

That reminds me of Japanese alleged pornography, and the sensor stuff. When is this stuff going to revert to, I think, Disney/Marvel?

Mixed salt into liquid hand soap. So far so good. It seems to pump it's way through so far. It also seems to clean a bit better.

JTR: I'm really sorry to hear about your cats problems, and how young they are/were. My best friend from high school is my vet, so it doesn't kill me to take my cat in, and she does get regular checkups. She did get up to 16 pounds due to feeding too much regular cat food, and human food on...

Surf isn't going to help: Through the weekend: There isn't much change in the forecast today from what was discussed earlier this week. We're currently seeing a large mix of S-SW (170-250) windswell that should be followed by larger 13 to 14 second WSW-WNW (250-290) through the day today, and...

They are calling for 10 inches of rain in 6 days in Eureka. It's currently been getting hammered all morning.

There was a movie that pretty much called this to a T. Can't remember the name, but, such super storms freeze North America, and force everyone to the tropics. The Day After Tomorrow. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319262/

JTR: I'm really sorry about your cat. Mine is near 60 in cat years, and it's constantly on my mind. I'm really glad you said one of your cats. If and when my cat dies, I hope I'm dead first. I really wish I'd let her have a litter, so we would have more then one cat. Plus, she's unique, in...

WHY would you want to screw with your brains depth perception for extended periods of time, for some cheesy special effects, and sub standard color work? The thought of having kids play games for extended periods on 3D, prior to effective, comprehensive testing truly scares me.

One thing I have noticed is using an extra sharp blade, like a feather, makes your skin thinner. You are scraping off the top layer, every day, and this makes it much easier to cut yourself. It also helps reduce wrinkles;0

This is a recipe for disaster, literally. The combination of storms, in creeks and rivers still full of sand, due to lack of velocity over the spring and summer results in very high water levels in creeks and rivers. Tides aren't really helping, but, they are only 5-6 feet at high tide. Still...

Not really my intention. Speaking of snow, I do wonder what amount of snow is going to be on Donner Pass at the end of the week. http://www.goes.noaa.gov/browsw3.html Not as dense as Sandy, but it's NOT small, and it has more parts out of view http://www.goes.noaa.gov/browsw2.html

I was here in January, 1982. When it gets really bad is when the rain falls so fast the ground can't absorb anymore, and it continues to rain. The results then lead to mudslides, flooded rivers, and power outages. 3 days of no power in Santa Cruz and Capitola. You do have a point that rapid...

The bad news is that as the week goes on, and the flooding starts to get worse, it's going to be accompanied by a very large swell hitting Friday, and getting bigger. Estimated 10-15 feet, or bigger Friday.

It's blowing hard and supposed to drop 10-15 inches in the mountains/hills this week. Odd that after Sandy they aren't making much of a front that covers nearly the entire west coast, and is bringing winds in the 40-70 mile an hour range. Combined with a high tide, we could have some real...

The lack of character fill-in in the Mandarin WAS his back story. He was a mysterious, very bad guy, that wanted to dominate the world, and wouldn't go away. He reminded me of the energizer bunny, you thought he was gone, and he would pop up again, trying to concur the world again. Anyone...

When I was in Osaka, they took us to a bath house. You got rubbed down with sea salt, but it was supposed to be very good for your skin, in particular your back. Someone did come out with a plug-in setup that you connected to a shaving cream container, and it heated the soap. It didn't get very...

Thanks. Good idea. I was looking for something abrasive to cut through some oils and gels that I use on my hands. Regular handsoap hasn't been cutting it. I wonder if mixing salt and hand soap together might work?

OK: And why do I care if we have an Asian-American character? The topic on the table was the Mandarin, half chinese, and half english. In fact, Jimmy Woo was FAR more then a one dimensional character: However, as Plan Tzu aged, he grew less concerned over the Atlas Foundation's traditional...

Lack of proof reading. Sorry.

I haven't been able to find it, but this rivals the Perfect Storm, or worse, as far as wave height, and tide. I've been looking for buoy reports during this period, and can't find them. Waves generated in Florida were consistent with 15-20 foot swells, and about 15-18 sec duration. It appears...

Why the sea salt, and what oils? I can try a cheap mix of olive oil and regular salt today.;-)

update So an update: The straight razor requires more time then I usually have, but is useful for under my nose. I did buy a bunch of single edge injector blades for it. However, they aren't the right blades, and are hard to get into the Hess Ezy shave razor. I've been looking for an...

HMMMM. http://marvel.com/universe/Mandarin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_%28comics%29 What I love about Marvel is the characters are rarely one dimensional. Not sure a bad guy that looses his fortune to Communism is really a racial stereotype. Character was created in 1964.

I hope they aren't killing Pepper off. Why wouldn't they call the Mandarin the Mandarin? Yes the 10 rings, and the guy in the background with the bald head in the first movie are a bit of a clue. Been watching Glee. Fun. The Voice marathon last night. Arrow seems to be very popular, and not...

Galaxy 3S update from those that have them? HTC updates?

Waze, or how to eat up a lot of 200MB of band width, fast. I've used Waze for a bit, and I'll being pay for it this month. Here is my take: Fun toy. Gives you a chance to interact with other drivers, sort of a social driving/data network in the Bay Area. As I said earlier, it consumes...

Anyone used Waze? Trying to figure out how to combine it with a radar detector. New car is a bit faster then the Toyota. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waze http://www.waze.com/ So far not really sold on the free GPS. Last night it wanted to turn a 45 minute drive to another route, 1 hour 15...

Sorry. Wrong thread.

The Avengers characters changed many times. The group went from being able to battle other worlds, to barely strong enough to battle Iron Man, or actually less. Hawkeye and the Black Widow gave the group vulnerability, yet they also rise to take human abilities to extremes. Sort of the Bob...

Panasonic owner here. CF-51's. Look on ebay, and you can find running ones for around 100-150 dollars, most without some features. That said, even though Panasonic laptops appear under powered, and over priced, the software is tailored well to the hardware, and performance is not an issue. 3...

Watched the new Snow White and the Huntsman. Graphics are OK. They do a really good job of portraying the bad guys as totally bad, and you really want them dead as the movie goes on. The romance scenes are really slow, and the girl looks a bit like Joan of Arc with long hair. Theron is very...

I was looking at OneNote, and used it in school for awhile. Only problem is I noticed something about after 500 entries on the cloud it wasn't free anymore? Anything on this? Wouldn't like to get used to using it on my phone and stuff, and then have to pay for it.

I'm wondering if anyone has used OneNote, Windows Live Essentials 2011, and the MSFT skydrive. How it's worked? It appears Essentials is free, and it gives you a movie editor and photo editor? Sounds too good to be true.

This looks a LOT like my setup. The top bar was along the roof line, out of the way, and out of reach. There is no reason the cage couldn't be done without the horizontal brace, but mine did have one, making the back seat non-functional, and the seats were pulled, and a storage area was in back...
