20's at night is getting normal. I'm wondering how that's going to effect the 20 billion dollar wine industry?

Your post made me watch Thor again. I really enjoy it in 2d/3d.

Tea: First off, It looks GOOD on you;-) Plus, if I was a 10th as strong and agile, I'd not need to worry about shaving. Ever considered strength exhibitions? You and a friendly gorilla would make us humans look like the truly underdeveloped wimps we are. Have you ever thought of surfing...

27 degrees, light snow, in Walnut Creek? WTF? GLOBAL WARMING?????

29.4 F this morning. DD: Where are you? Russia? Problem is the surf is perfect when it's this cold. Wind is blowing 10-20 offshore, big swells. So 30 F with 10 mile an hour winds is 21 F wind chill. And I used to wonder why my 4-3mm wetsuit never seemed like enough :rolleyes:

Cold wave is on. Winds blowing off the Sierras, huge swell, good Mavericks day, except for the crowd. 33 degrees. Tomorrow in the 20's. All week around freezing.

"Act of Valor" best in a long time. Action movie with actual Seals playing Seals. Technically correct, and it shows off a lot of their toys. Halo, etc. My favorite is an extraction using boats and a couple mini-guns, not ala our gov.

Problem is my internet provider charges over 300 gigs, and we regularly go over 400 during basketball season.

"FOLLOW UP NOTE: This is easily one of the most popular "opinion" pieces that I’ve written on this blog. Normally this kind of traffic and discussion only truly takes place when it comes to exclusive gear reviews. Last night the post was being read by a thousand more people every 10-15 minutes...

Perhaps a better evaluation, with a bit more objective perspective: http://www.vulture.com/2012/12/ask-an-expert-will-we-ever-get-used-to-the-hobbit-48fps-higher-frame-rate.html

From the article in discussion: "In my opinion, film is not necessarily about WHAT you see—but it's almost more an exercise in what you DON'T or CAN'T see. The best directors and DPs show you only what is relevant to the story and never introduce a random shot or character if they can at all...

I saw the WORST movie, maybe ever. Killer Joe. Totally worthless, violent, no value at all. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1726669/ OK: Maybe the opening scene, just due to nudity, that appears to be Gina Gershon, but is more likely a stunt double. Also Juno makes good trailtrash, until she...

Hi Now that Peerblock seems dead, what are you using, you Pirates? GS

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...
