1.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
Andy Grammer's "career" is over...


(We can only hope.)


I have Denver in this one...



:pop:
2.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
i'm hoping denver and the cards make it to the bowl..if i bet the house on it i would pick the other teams...:wink
3.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
I might pull for the Cardinals in the second game, just to stay on your good side. :wink

But I don't know...

I guess what I'm sayin' is that I can be bought...
4.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
denvers lookin good...
5.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
That backward pass had to be microscopically backward...

Another blown extra point kick...
6.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
backwards forward..who no's this stuff anyhow..another TD by manning..
7.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
i dislike brady as much as bullzi and the mannings..who cares if he's 6' 4 and weighs 220..hell i'm 5'8" and weigh 230...
8.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
:-)


I wouldn't mind being Tom Brady for a little while...
9.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016

you do no thats a joke dont you? i'm 5' 8" 1/2 and a spealth 187..i'm going to try to get down to 170 this summer..i really am going to have to cut down on the beers and taco's though..

i'm going to have to train like a cage fighter..
11.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
:-)


Spealth?


:p
12.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
while its halftime i have a question for you.. the question is:
say you have a 400 spine arrow thats 320 gpi or whatever ..and lets say you want to put a 90 grain insert in front of the arrow..would you have to go to a stiffer spine because of the weight up front makes the 400 spine weaker ??? say like a 340 spine?? if youre shooting fmj"s
13.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
the 320 gpi disregard...:wink
14.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
LOL...I figured that...


But a 90 grain insert? Do you mean broadhead or FP?

Adding weight in the front makes the arrow less stiff, while adding it in the back (nock end) stiffens it.


Whether you'd have to change arrows depends on your set-up.


[url]http://www.huntersfriend.com/carbon_arrows/hunting_arrows_selection_guide_chapter_3.htm[/url]


[url]http://www.huntersfriend.com/carbon_arrows/whatsthis2.htm[/url]



Some bows and rests seem to like stiffer arrows. On the other hand, many set-ups shoot better with front-heavy arrows (finished). At least that's been my experience. When I have a choice in front of me and I'm borderline on what the spine charts tell me, I opt for the stiffer arrow-and-broadhead combination.
15.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
like victory makes a heavier insert so does easton by the way..i was just wondering about the spine of the arrow if you would have to go stiffer or not stiffer....thats what she said...
16.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
i no a heavier point makes a arrow weaker..say you want to make a arrow heavier by adding weight up front ..would you need a different spine arrow compensating for the heavier insert..? then the regular spine arrow that you shoot.
17.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
by saying heavier i mean from a 400 grain arrow to a 470 grain arrow...
18.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
If you thought you were too stiff, you could use a heavier inset if you didn't want to go up in BH weight, or you could take weight off the back (feathers or Blazer-type vs. 4-inch vanes, say). These will be very small changes.

If you think your arrow is weak, you could add a heavy wrap. This *could be* a bigger change (especially with large reflective wrap, LOL---Ask me how I know. :wink)

Most of the time I would think going from a standard insert to a "heavy" insert isn't going to require a change in arrow spine...I think most people use them to goof around with their FOC measurement (front-of-center balance).

It depends on your set-up. Do you have access to an arrow selector calculator? Go to your arrow's website and look for one and plug the variables in.
20.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
never mind....lol..
21.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
You're a mess. You know that?

:wink
22.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
yeah ok .. lets get back to the game..
23.) crookedeye - 01/24/2016
wow they needed that stop...
24.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
Brady looks like he's plotting his revenge....
25.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016

26.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016

30.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
I'm still deciding about the second game.


On the one hand, the Cardinals have some cute cheerleaders, any way you look at it...





31.) Swamp Fox - 01/24/2016
Plus they have a redhead...
32.) crookedeye - 01/25/2016

33.) Swamp Fox - 01/25/2016

47.) Wild Bob - 01/25/2016
Looks like it's about over...doesn't look like Arizona is going to pull it off.
48.) Swamp Fox - 01/25/2016
I would have liked to see Az do better, but 6 turnovers...What're you gonna do?
49.) DParker - 01/25/2016
Are they planning on running this post-game right up to the Super Bowl kick-off? [I]The X-Files[/i] was supposed to have started 17 minutes ago, and I wanna' see how well Scully has aged.
50.) Swamp Fox - 01/25/2016
Ha! She looks pretty good. My Genie screwed me though, because it didn't record the whole episode (stopped "on time"). Now I have to find a way to find a repeat. There's not one listed as scheduled...I'll see if it's on line.

I had a hard time keeping up with the X-Files the first go-round because I couldn't/didn't record episodes I couldn't sit for. Not off to an auspicious start this time 'round, either, it looks like, even with a DVR...LOL
51.) DParker - 01/25/2016
Don't feel bad, you didn't miss much. I was a fan of the series, and the first movie...but last night's episode sucked like a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Not only was it terribly disjointed and completely devoid of any real story development...but they're trying the old "forget everything you saw in the series and the movies about the main storyline and just pretend that none of it happened" trick.

And Gillian Anderson needs a sammich or two.
52.) Swamp Fox - 01/25/2016
I think I read somewhere in the last couple of days that the second episode is much better. (I don't know if they mean E2 (second half of premier) or E3.

And now that you mention it, you're right about Gillian Anderson, at least in comparison to the old Scully.

I didn't even know they were bringing the [I]X Files[/I] back until two days ago, or I would have tried to catch up on old episodes. I thought I'd heard that they tried and failed, but maybe that was some other show...[I]Twin Peaks[/I], probably, now that I think about it.

[QUOTE=Swamp Fox;38557]I think I read somewhere in the last couple of days that the second episode is much better. (I don't know if they mean E2 (second half of premier) or E3.[/quote]

Well, it certainly couldn't be much worse.

[QUOTE=Swamp Fox;38557]And now that you mention it, you're right about Gillian Anderson, at least in comparison to the old Scully.[/quote]

She's held up well (she's a 47 year-old mom, after all). Her face is just a little gaunt.

AFAIK it's just a 6-episode mini-series...which is about all I think I'll be able to take (if I even make it that far). Yeah, the first episode was that bad.
54.) Wild Bob - 01/25/2016
AFAIK??

There are more acronyms flying around here than a USACE O&M manual! Who knows this stuff anyway?!?!?!?!? :-)

I think her nose looks screwed up now...did she have some work done?
55.) Wild Bob - 01/25/2016
Where's SF today anyway? Did he party too hard last night after the Panther's win???:grin:

bueller??
60.) Swamp Fox - 01/31/2016
Okay, I'll bite. I don't usually watch the Pro Bowl, but for some reason I think this year's might be decent.

It's sunny and 70 here, so my mood has greatly improved on just about everything...So take that into account and don't hold my prediction against me. :wink
61.) crookedeye - 01/31/2016
i have cabin fever already..and we have at least a month and a half of winter left..its about 50 here today.. but a storm is brewing...it a storm to end all storms..there saying its going to make luv2's winter storm look micro compared to this one..

i'll try and keep in touch come tuesday but i dont no...I just hope no one gets hurt ....
62.) Swamp Fox - 01/31/2016
No jumping out of second-story windows into snowbanks just for fun, and stay off the roads...Those are only two of my tips for you...:wink

That path that Luv2 cut: I don't know. It looked like he went over that with a spork and a knife... and whatever that thing is on the Sham-Wow Channel that lets you trim the grass on the edge of your cement driveway like you're getting a razor cut at a black barbershop...I'm not sure a snowblower was involved.


If he used a snowblower, where did the blown snow go? Say that ten times fast...

Hillary is hoping the Patriots win the Super Bowl because it's convenient, but Bill is for the Panthers, because when you say Panthers, he thinks "cougars"...

73.) crookedeye - 01/31/2016
one thing about trump is he's going to build a wall and its going to be a good wall..mexico will pay for it.. its going to be called the trump wall... alot of these politicians talk chit..but trump talks chit what every american has on there mind...plus he will hire the best defense sec.. the best of everthing..

good times are a coming...

Obama interpreting the law as a judge would be...Um...Oh!... My chest!...Where are my pills???...


But apparently Barack's not interested, according to news reports. Not enough opportunities to preen and pretend to be cool in front of a camera is my guess, thank God. Also no real money in it. Maybe he can get together with Holder and Jon Stewart and get a gig on Comedy Central. Suggestion for a working title for the show: "Look at the Corruption"...but I bet it doesn't get selected...

I'm in no way a Trump fan, but at least you get a straight answer from him...You just have to wait a day or two for the second version, or the next quote. :wave:

All I know is it's warm enough to visit the new brewery that just opened up my little 'burb this weekend. My view, as we speak.



The Breakfast Stout (dark one 2nd from the left) is made with coffee, and is pretty damned good.

My dream scenario is that Hillary loses Iowa because of evident incompetence and a repulsive personality, New Hampshire because she's merely a progressive Democrat rather than a lunatic socialist (even though she can't tell us the difference) and South Carolina because Democrats traveling to the primary are washed into the Atlantic Ocean by a 2000-year flood which deposits several feet of fertile topsoil on my hunting lease...

Then, Bernie meets the SEC Primary and finds folk-singing went out in 1964, and so Joe Biden gets in the race with home defense advice...

The only cactus in this part of TX are the prickly pear that people plant in their front yards for decoration and the fruit. And I haven't seen a scorpion since I moved from AZ when I was 13. It's all hardwood bottoms and stands of pines here. The scenery from the movie [i]Paris, TX[/i] (which is about 1.75 hours ENE from here) was a lie, having all been shot in the western part of the state.

The Amber (3rd from the right) is quite good, though not nearly the best. They're all good, save for the IPA on the right, which is all hops and not much else.

The beermaid in the photo is cute enough, and very personable. I asked her if she minded that I was going to fix her up with a guy from the Carolinas, and she didn't poo-poo the idea (especially when I told her you were an Outdoor Channel celebrity), so maybe a road trip is in order.

I want to know what Millennial mfer thought it was a good idea to mix up the NFC and AFC players on each team? I realize it's been done the last few years, but hereditary mental illness is no excuse. Plus, who came up with the gold socks?

Well, that's what I get for replying halfway through a flight of 6 high-ABV brews when I've lost whatever grasp of nuance I might have otherwise had. But for what it's worth, in this case "Back Country" refers to the wilds of Colorado (home of the brewery that owns this one), which is even shorter on cacti and scorpions.

I have some old ones but they don't include the last couple of months/statements claiming she was "allowed," that she volunteered the emails for investigation, or what she said the other day about "nothing sent or received [B]by me[/B]" ...which of course means Huma and Cheryl and a couple of the other conspirators are about to catch the bus, and should start looking into competitively priced lawyers with no ties to the Clintons, 'cause it's coming down the hill right at them, no mistake.

Also: Next Request: Please, please, please somebody send me a pic of Hillary in the black and white striped shirt telling some version of her lies over the summer. The video's been getting played a lot in the last week or so since the "beyond top secret" news came out, but I can't locate a still (or the video itself for that matter). I'd like to put it together with a picture of the Hamburglar, or maybe somebody who knows what they're doing in Photoshop could do it for me, LOL.

There's also a very funny blog post out there about someone getting Hillary-in-yoga-pants selfie emails. I can't find it even though I came across it just this morning. My history didn't capture it for whatever reason, but if anyone comes across it, pls. post it or send me a link. :pray: :grin:

Key search words in case it was at some kind of a link within a link would be Hillary Shrug; Hillary email timeline; Hillary striped shirt; Hillary prison uniform, etc. :wink

Dependent costs?

That's the old trick. Jack up the dependent costs while moderating the employee portion, because most employers aren't paying for the dependents. You keep your employer client until his employees come after him with pitchforks, and then maybe you lose him to a under-bidder or maybe you don't....but that's all baked into the numbers anyway, or it should be.

Obamacare won't let the employee cost go underpriced as long as the old days, though, so hang on to your hat. Employers paying employee costs will have to adjust somewhere.

Regarding a weekend interview with Hillary:




Quote:

[I]First she is confronted about her insistence that if the documents weren’t marked classified she did nothing wrong. George pointed out to her that she signed an agreement clearly stating that markings have nothing to do with it.

[/I]
STEPHANOPOULOS: “You know, you’ve said many times that the emails were not marked classified. The non-disclosure agreement you signed as Secretary of State says that that’s really not that relevant. It says classified information is marked or unmarked classified and that all of you are trained to treat all of that sensitively and should know the difference.”

CLINTON: “Well of course and that’s exactly what I did. I take classified information very seriously. You know, you can’t get information off the classified system in the State Department to put on an unclassified system, no matter what that system is. We were very specific about that. And when you receive information, of course, there has to be some markings, some indication that someone down the chain thought that this was classified and that was not the case.”
[I]
[B]I almost feel sorry for Stephanopoulos at this point. It’s like trying to have an argument with Rainman about buying underwear. First you tell her that she signed an agreement saying that the information is classified whether it’s marked or not. She agrees with you, saying that’s exactly how she handled things. Then, literally two sentences later, she says, “there has to be some markings, some indication...” [/B]I’ve had arguments with my niece over whether or not she already ate one of the Christmas cookies where she made a more logical defense.

I don't know if anyone knows who Robert Zimmerman is, but he's a Hillary mouthpiece like Lanny Davis or James Carville, only sleazier.

If you google him, put "+ Hillary Clinton" with his name or all you'll come up with is George Zimmerman's gay brother, LOL.

Anyway, he was on with Megyn Kelly the other night, lying his ass off, trying to distract from Hillary's bad behavior and confuse the "marked classified" issue...and Megyn kept calling him "Richard." (For background, he's been on her show many times, so she really was blowing it by getting his name wrong at least three or four times in a short interview.)

Now, I'm not a huge Megyn Kelly fan, but when she makes a mistake she owns up to it, as far as I can tell, and she eventually caught herself and said, "I'm sorry. I keep calling you Richard for some reason. I know it's Robert. I don't know why I'm calling you Richard." (I'm paraphrasing.)

Well, I immediately got a big old cake-eating grin on my face and yelled at the TV: "It's Freudian! Think about it!!"

142.) Swamp Fox - 02/01/2016
From the link above, just to drive the point home:


[...]

[I]But we can take it one step further here. Whether the theoretical supporter read about it from her quote in the paper or dreamed it up himself against odds longer than winning the Powerball jackpot, Clinton is claiming that she heard about it from him. Even if we take her at her word, that means that the woman is so addled that she can’t even recall a conversation she had in the past few weeks with the biggest paper in the state where she’s currently running in a heated race. Is that what Secretary Clinton would prefer we believe?

She was making that story up to try to sell her email alibi and spinning it out of whole cloth. In some circles that’s still referred to as “lying.”

I thought they were strictly for divvying up delegates for the national conventions, but apparently they select their delegates to future events at caucuses too. I dug this up searching quickly. I didn't dig to see if there was anything better:

Seems like a simple vote would be better than what sounds like a Chinese fire drill for the Dems in Iowa, but what do I know, LOL. I wonder if we'll see Hillary and Bernie doing coin tosses on Saturday Night Live. :wink That's gold, Jerry! Gold!

I think the .2% is a difference of one delegate. It's a tempest in a crockpot. (Midwestern covered dish joke there, for those of you playing along at home---:wink)

I don't doubt somebody in Iowa would like to put his or her thumb on the scale for Hillary, especially with apparently 43% of Iowa voters (or population?) identifying themselves as socialists, and with 80% of the under-30 vote (I'm approximating on the age, there; small possibility it's 35) and the majority (%?) of the young female vote going for Bernie.

156.) Swamp Fox - 02/05/2016
Hillary and Bernie were neck-and-neck all night, and I do mean split 50-50 as the evening progressed. I watched the coverage; I haven't kept up with reporting about what went on in the weeds.

So to my way of thinking, I don't think (unless there was pretty massive fraud in the Hillary camp) Bernie has much of a claim to very many points allegedly shaved, anyway. And how many delegates would a difference of even, say, 5 percentage points net him anyway? I don't know, but I doubt it's enough to make a difference come SC, anyway.

Dems seem desperate to get Elizabeth Warren to endorse Hillary to solidify the Marxist wackadoodle wing of the wackadoodle party before even Southern Dems wake up to what a loser Hillary is.

I think there is a small possibility that Hillary's "Southern Firewall" doesn't materialize, or that Bernie can manipulate it to his advantage. A lot of folks in the South love them some free stuff, too!

Percentage/number of state delegates who will vote or represent at the national convention. There are some states where it is winner-take-all. I don't recall whether any caucus states operate that way (w-t-a), or if those are only primary states. Would seem to defeat the purpose of the caucus though, if there were.

Speaking of drinking heavily, that would have be a good way to get through President 0's statement on the economy earlier today. I caught it at lunchtime and nearly tasted everything twice. I feel I'm on safe ground to say that Obama offered literally no statement of fact which was in fact true or not cherry-picked and out of context.

Pure happy-talk ahead of what will be a brutal weekend of analysis of the reports. Brutal from the admin's perspective.

Plus we got treated to a heavy dose of bloviating to two simple questions from the press at the end.

Here's some early perspective. If I come across a good blow-by-blow fact-check on the Ministry of Propaganda, I'll post that as well in case anyone is interested. It might take some time for a good one to show up, because the President's presentation was so monumentally high and deep. He might have set a record if you go by BS per minute.

I realize most people don't follow the economy or have lots of perspective, but if you have half a clue about what's going on, this speech was disgusting. It'll sound good to most, though.

Also notable is the fact that while taking a victory lap with his deflated bouquet of balloons, he managed to get in a couple of shots at Republicans who criticize the performance of his economy. Unmentioned while touting his tortoise crawl (seven years long if I did my math right) to a 4.9% U-3 unemployment rate is the fact that the U-6 rate (under-employed, etc.) remains sky-high at 9.9%.

Also notably unexplained: why Hiillary and Bernie are complaining about the economy after he's done such a good job with it. :re:



Last point: there were numbers a few weeks ago indicating 250K or so jobs added. That's been revised down to the 151K we're using today. So the point is that the previous happy-talk based on 250K jobs (which would have had us treading water, rather than growing) is now happy talk about 151K, which is abysmal.

So, in other entertainment news---

Also at the speech: Obama lets it slip that he doesn't want to tell us his Super Bowl pick.

He's a Bears fan with a crush on Aaron Rodgers (compares himself to Rodgers, even), which is either politically pretty safe or pretty over-all stupid, depending on how you look at it. He usually can't stop talking about football when asked, and thinks wedging himself into your living room to exercise the old windbags when you just want to watch Sunday Night Football is a great idea.

But when he has a chance (unprompted) to tell Americans whether he's pulling for Peyton Manning or Cam Newton, he goes all coy and hush-mouthed. All he says is the economy's chugging along just fine, and enjoy the Super Bowl.

Maybe "Barry O'Bomber", hoops wizard, should stick to roundball.

My prediction: On Monday, regardless of who wins, he'll say "Yeah, I had a feeling..."


[url]http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2012/01/[/url]


To be fair, he's wussed out on picking a favorite team the last couple of years. Must have polled badly. Because, you know, he's such a uniter....

I know that he thinks of himself as quite an athlete when in fact he has no athletic ability whatsoever. He assemblies groups of guys in his basketball games that all tell him how "gifted" he is to further his ego. I mean who's gonna tell the President that he sucks when you are playing against him? He really does live in a world that is a complete façade.

I forgot about the missed lazy lay-up at 1:16...Then he hits his last shot at the end of the video and walks off the court without saying anything...
185.) bluecat - 02/06/2016
I'll bet anything that after he hit his last shot he's thinking that he totally put on a show.

I think somebody must have told him, "Hey, we'd better leave on a high note."

Really, I want people to think about how hard it is to miss 20 out of 22 shots when you claim to be any kind of a basketball player...Included, he missed a short shot from the paint, a bank shot from under the basket on the right side, and a strong-side lazy lay-up. He made a bank shot from under the basket, and one from outside.

What a maroon.

History will not be kind...

if it wasnt for that fine body, i would really dislike her..
189.) crookedeye - 02/07/2016
i'm interested in watching the debate tonight..you no there going to attack rubio..thats the guy i'm going with this election year..rubio or trump.. cruz kinda rubbed me wrong after iowa.
190.) Swamp Fox - 02/07/2016
The sniper fire story would make for an excellent debate question, LOL. But as far as I can tell, nobody has really pinned her ears back in the debates, first and foremost including Bernie. She's gotten some embarrassing questions from moderators, but no one's stuck a stake in her yet. Really, how hard can it be on live TV where she doesn't control everything?

Bernie wants a revolution but isn't willing to do what it takes for revolution, which is depose the queen. And that makes you question his commitment to his cause. For all the talk about how Bernie is sincere and passionate, all I hear is blah blah blah. Listen up, Dems! You want a revolution? Wind up Bernie and point him in the right direction.

LOL


I agree with you that Cruz has come off badly, especially during the final days of and since Iowa.

Well, he is a governor and was a prosecutor, so he's got that going for him. :re:

This is his best debate so far.

But wait:


Christie makes the case for obstinacy.

Rubio makes the case for realism and one step at a time.

Biden?--

I think he's the most likely. I have the sense, and there has been some reporting, that he's been doing more prep behind the scenes than is evident. Despite the fact that he's never been right about anything, I think the Dems would rejoice.

Everybody makes a lot of noise about Elizabeth Warren running for Pres, but she's redundant to Bernie and much less cuddly. I can't see her running this time, though I know her endorsement is coveted by both Hill and Bern. I can't imagine either campaign has ruled her out as a potential boost if she were named for the VP spot. Whether she's interested in the VP spot is a different question. I don't know.

My guess is she's waiting to see if Hillary implodes in 2016 and would consider running for President in 2020. That's what I'd do if I were a left-wing loon. Get Hillary and Bernie out of the way by political defeat or old age, and then swoop in to pick up the pieces. Populist socialism will still be around for the next election cycle.

Other than those two, I can't imagine anyone else. I have heard Al Gore and John Kerry floated. I think that's laughable, especially in terms of this cycle. When I figure out who started that speculation, I will have to put them on my Ignore List.

212.) Swamp Fox - 02/07/2016
I really don't think Rubio takes as much of a hit as the media and pundits are making out. It's news that some politicians are scripted? I think I dinged him for that in my first beauty contest analysis on here months ago.

Try getting a straight answer out of Trump or Cruz when the question is on the challenging side. Trump is unscripted. Cruz is very scripted. Neither will tell you what you asked unless it's in their interest. So what does that tell you about the desirability or undesirability of scripting? Not a lot, I'd say.

Since there wasn't much other drama last night, the media echo chamber appoints Rubio the boy in the barrel this week. That's about it.
213.) crookedeye - 02/07/2016
i was switching from the fights to the debate last night so i really dont no..i'm looking forward to watching "joe in the morning" and that blonde girl whats her name kicki?? she looks like a rat..the media can really sway a person..

i'll wait for orielly and megan kelley to see what they have to say or rush...i just like looking at megan kelly..
214.) Swamp Fox - 02/07/2016
I think it would be difficult for Warren to endorse Hillary because she (Warren) is such an anti-capitalist that the banks-and-Wall Street nonsense prevents her from even getting downwind of Hillary.

On the other hand, Bernie is a burning ship unless he can steal a sizable portion of the Southern black vote from Ol' Miss Clinton, and if Warren throws in with him it's a fart in a spacesuit as far as that goes.

Sure, Warren knows how to pander, and you have to admire her skill working the system as the whitest Indian ever--so there might be some appeal--but black voters are not going to throw over an old white lady married to our first (only?) black president for an old angry white guy and his faithful indignant companion.
