Steve Jobs, R.I.P.

I’m sure most of you are aware that Apple founder Steve Jobs passed away October 5th. He was 56. Scary. I’m 51. All of my computers, except the first one, have been Macs. I also now have an iPad, and several flavors of iPods floating around. (no, don’t have an iPhone.) Mr. Jobs, and all of the people at Apple, make great products. And I buy them, voluntarily, because they are great products. No need for the government to dictate what computer I should own. (Oh yes, my first computer was a Commodore 64. I couldn’t afford an Apple 2e. That Commodore lasted me over a decade.)

Here is Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address. I found it interesting in that he attributes part of the success of the Mac to the fact that he dropped out of college. Sort of. Let him tell the story.

Depends?

Fecal felon?

Moss said she started noticing them about three years ago, but stopped cleaning up and started calling police each time she saw more diapers. At one point, she thought she nearly caught the “Diaper Bandit” in the act.

That’s pretty sh*tty enough. But the explanation?

Souses, er, sources close to the investigation tell TCOTS News that law enforcement officials now strongly suspect the diapers are those of Barack Hussein Obama because there is ‘overwhelming evidence’. As one of them put it: ‘Look, (1) he’s been crapping on America for nearly three years, (2) he’s full of [what makes the grass grow green], and (3) he’s a real soggy diaper, especially in his speeches and press conferences’.

It was almost exactly three years ago that Barack Hussein Obama was elected President by throwing a lot of crap against the wall and watching some of it stick.

Sunday eye-candy

Peiper, or Drew, normally do this. Peiper, don’t know why you’ve been absent, I assume that Mrs. peiper is ailing. Or maybe you are ailing? Regardless, both of you are in my prayers.

My ‘eye candy’ is a bit risqué. So, posted below the fold for either nudity, or sexual suggestiveness. Or both.

Nice lingerie!

Armed and dangerous.

I’ll take ‘Bust’ for $100 Alex.

Nice parrot. What? You didn’t notice the parrot?

GET ME OUT OF HERE ...

Today’s Chess Problem 10/09/11

I updated the last problem with the solution. Kudos to Wes. Though I think I should give myself some kudos: never had to drop a tactical nuke on a chess problem before!

1. … ? Black to move.

And yes, we’re still in the ‘weak back rank’ section. White is at risk. You’ll note that Black’s King has ‘luft’.

UPDATE!

Wes got it right. Here is the ‘book’ solution:

1. … Rxc2
2. Rxc2 Rxc2
3. Qd1 Qxa2 and Black is winning.

After 3. … Qxa2

True, but let me explain, because Drew will ask me…

Winning meaning that Black holds most of the cards. (Cards? Chess? Mixed metaphors?)

Black has a Q and R on White’s second rank. White’s bishop is tied down to defending White’s King.
Black has two connected passed pawns on the queenside. One of them will Queen.
Or White will sacrifice mucho material to stop the pawns. Which means that White will not be able to stop Black from mating.

I can win this against any World Chess Champ.
The trick is to get this position against a World Chess Champ.

Occupy Wall Street: A Manifesto

Occupy Wall Street: A Manifesto

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men, women and transgendered—and any other human who is able to elude the tyranny of work for a couple of weeks—are created equal. We gather to be free not of tyranny, but of responsibility and college tuitions. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that a government long established and a nation long prosperous be changed for light and transient causes. So let our demands* be submitted to a candid world.

First, we are imbued with as many inalienable rights as a few thousand college kids and a gaggle of borderline celebrities can concoct, among them a guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment and immediate across-the-board debt forgiveness—even if that debt was acquired taking on a mortgage with a 4.1 percent interest rate and no money down, which, we admit, is a pretty sweet deal in historical context…

...but down with the modern gilded age!

We demand that a Master of Fine Arts in musical theater writing, with a minor in German, become an immutable human right, because education is crucial and rich people can afford to fund unemployment checks until we find jobs or in perpetuity, whichever comes first.

We demand a minimum wage of $10, no ... make it $20. We earned it. And we demand the end of “profiteering,” because there is no better way to end joblessness than stopping the growth of capital. We also demand a maximum wage law, because selfish American dreams need a firm ceiling.

We demand the institution of direct democracy, because if a bunch of people say it’s OK, it’s OK. And everyone deserves to have his or her voice heard. Except Mr. Moneybags, who we demand stop contributing his own money to candidates we disagree with, to issue groups we loathe and to lobbyists who do not work for organizations featuring “Service,” “Employees,” “International” and/or “Union” in their title.

We demand the end to bailouts and corporate subsidies, unless we’re talking about companies that feature sunflowers or sun rays in their logos, because that’s the kind of morally gratifying institution we approve of, and thus, they should totally be fast-tracked and bailed out with your money to bring the fossil fuel economy ("the economy") to an end.

We demand the end to a corrupt Wall Street ("Apple" “your 401(k)") because banks hold too much power. We demand that government consolidate authority so that elected officials can make prudent choices for us. All that cash in banks was printed by the war god Mars and has nothing to do with the voluntary deposits by ordinary Americans, so we do not consider this theft.

We demand the end to corporate censorship, because if we can’t force private news organizations to run the types of stories with which we agree, there can’t be a healthy democracy. So actually, we demand the end of all corporate news organizations in the name of free speech.

We demand the end to health profiteering, because everyone knows that all the wondrous and lifesaving advances in modern medicine were invented in the People’s Democratic Republic of Laos. Smart people work for the good of humanity, not because they’re greedy.

We demand these rights because of the mass injustice of being able to freely protest against racism and corporatism without any real fear of imprisonment in the most diverse city on earth. And to the wiseguy who walked by the other day and claimed that I’d be writing this manifesto with a quill pen on parchment paper if it weren’t for capitalism, we have two words for you: Koch brothers. Think about it.

This is the fifth communique from the 99.9 percent. We are occupying Wall Street, and we’re not going home until it gets really cold.

This is why you’re poor

You buy stupid sh*t like this:

Ready America 77100 Cat Evacuation Kit

From the Manufacturer
Grab ‘n go Car Evacuation Kit. Three day emergency essentials you’ll need for your pet in an emergency. Emergency Kit Contains: 5 Year Shelf Life Cat Food, 3-Water Pouches 4.225-Ounce, Pet Water Bowl, Cat Collar with Toy Mouse, Cat Treats, Cat Litter Pan, Bag of Cat Litter, Litter Scoop, Pet Wipes, Pet ID Tag, 3-Antiseptic Cleansing Wipes, 1-Inch Gauze Roll, Triple Antibiotic Ointment Packet, 1 Pair Nitrile Gloves, Pet Carrier

Is this a joke? If so, it’s a $53 dollar joke. But the really funny part is in the comments:

My main issue with this kit is that the bag is too heavy for my cat to carry and there is no way to strap it to his back. To be honest it seems like they made this kit for a person or at the very least a very large and strong cat. I tried for several hours to get my cat to carry this kit during our emergency drill and it was pretty much impossible. Also the gloves in the kit are clearly meant for a human and not a cat. Other than that I guess it’s a good kit but they need to make everything the proper size for your average american cat.

1) My kit contained dog food instead of cat food

As a previous reviewer mentioned, there is hardly any extra room inside the carrier for the actual cat, once the other items are included. Nevertheless, I attempted to make the best of it, and I removed a few unnecessary items, such as road flares(?) and a very uncomfortable, silvery cat blanket that frightened my cat. There was some kind of leash in there as well, but I have to say, the attachments on the end werent designed with cat comfort in mind. I can only assume that you clamp the red copper side to one foot, and the black copper side to the another foot, but then the end you are supposed to hold also has two clamps - how is this intended to be used?

We were enjoying a leisurely evening on the lido deck when the order came to evacuate the ship. Were we ever surprised when our precious sank! Not recommended for use on cruise ships or water.

UPDATE: This gets even better. It made FARK.com. Some FARK comments:

Grandma leads police on slow-speed chase

Where’s peiper when you need him?

Great-grandmother leads UK police on 40km chase ... at just 16km/h

Then it gets weird:

During the bizarre low-speed chase, an officer ran alongside 76-year-old Caroline Turner’s blue Ford Fiesta and yelled at her to pull over, The Clacton and Frinton Gazette reported.

“It was a surprise to me when he knocked on the window,” Turner said.

Methinks she drives too slow! Or 16km/hr is the best that a Ford Fiesta can do?

Today’s Chess Problem 10/08/11

I’ve updated the last problem with the alleged solution and why it’s wrong. Today’s problem:

graphics courtesy of ExaChess. Problems from Combination Challenge by Lou Hayes and John Hall.

UPDATE:

Wes got the solution. I’d also like to commend Wes for his succinct analysis of the situation:

In most problems you would like to look for a mate by force, one where everything is determined.  To do that your first move must be a check.  The only one to do that in today’s problem is 1… QxR+ white is forced to play KxQ.  Then black can get his rooks into the game.  Unfortunately white will move Ke3 and black chases him but can’t quite him and the loss of his Queen will eventually do him in.

Black is fortunate in having time.  The white Queen and Knight are locked up on the wrong side of the board (emphasis added) and not an immediate threat to do much harm but for the white Knight aimed at the Rook on c8.  So black plays:

1. … Rc1!

Threatening, as Wes said above, QxRf1+ and mate. White has two choices. He can drop the R and create ‘luft’ by playing 2. h3, or he can continue as the books says:
2. Rxc1 Qd1+
3. Rxd1 Rxd1#

This was a relatively easy one. Again, I want to commend Wes for his analysis of the situation. That’s even more important than finding the right move. Can’t find the right move if you can’t define the problem(s).

Happy To Be Dry

I feel like celebrating. Today is the 4th day in a row that it has not rained*. That makes this the longest “drought” period here since mid-July. The monthly report is out from our state climatologist, and he confirms what I’ve posted here: it has hardly done a thing but rain since July 24th.

Don’t be mislead by the above chart. This only shows departure from average, it does not show total precipitation. (We had record breaking amounts of snow in January, but that barely made a blip on this graph.) It is also a state-wide average, balancing the wetter areas against the drier ones. Where I live, definitely a wetter area, in the northern part of Hunterdon County, we have had more than half a year’s average rainfall in the past two months. Probably closer to two thirds of a years worth than a half.

July:
Two weeks of no significant rain and really hot weather in the middle of the month allowed the rivers and streams still swollen from the spring runoff to finally get down to their median levels.

Almost daily storms roamed parts of the state during the final week, with the 24th bringing Sea Isle City (Cape May) 2.45” and Woodbine 1.95”. The northwest was wettest on the 25th, with Stockton (Hunterdon) coming in with 1.80”, Bethlehem Township (Hunterdon) at 1.76” and Greenwich Township (Warren) with 1.74”.

August:
17.72” of rain measured in Lambertville (southern Hunterdon County).
There were thirteen events in August that deposited at least 0.99” at one or more locations. [ days with less than an inch of rain not reported, but there were plenty of them too ]

September:
The beat goes on. September brought much of New Jersey a very wet month; this on the heels of record-shattering August rainfall. So too were temperatures well above normal; thus continuing an almost unbroken string of warmer-than-average months extending back to spring 2010. With three months remaining in 2011, the Garden State is knocking on the door of both the wettest (1996) and warmest (1998) years on record since statewide averages began to be compiled in 1895.

Returning back to this past September, the wettest portion of NJ was in the northwest where the Mt. Olive (Morris County) CoCoRaHS station saw the most rain, an impressive 16.88”. With just a few drops less, Blairstown (Warren) received 16.87”, with Oxford Township (Warren) coming in with 16.28”.  It should be noted that none of these totals include rain that fell after approximately 7AM on the 30th ... as those totals will be included with rain falling before 7AM on October 1 as part of October’s totals.

The three wettest stations above also lead the way with remarkable August-September totals that include 34.43” in Mt. Olive, 34.31” in Blairstown, and 32.59” at Oxford. Some stations in Sussex, Passaic, and Hunterdon counties also had at least 30.00”.

Only eight September days failed to see measurable rain fall at one or more NJ stations (1st-4th, 13th, 18th, 19th and 26th). The first and largest event of the month was associated with a moist tropical feed of moisture that included the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee. Between the 5th and 8th, centered on a very wet 6th, as much as 9.48” fell in Blairstown, 9.45” in Liberty Township (Warren), and 9.18” in Oxford Township.

Oxford is just a few miles north of here, over the line into Warren County. Weather-wise it’s pretty much the same as us. We don’t seem to have enough data gathering stations here in Hunterdon, so I’m going to have to infer a bit, but it looks pretty sure that we had 30-34” of rain since August, and you can add in another 4” for the last week in July, and perhaps another 2” for the start of October.

Currently our local water table is at less than 13.5 feet, which means that the ground beneath us is saturated at a level barely deeper than the foundations of the houses in the area. Oops. That’s twice as high as it normally is, and conditions are similar across most of the state.

Bottom line: It’s a pretty good bet that my corner of NJ has received as much as 40” of rain since the 25th of July, and there have only been about 10 days in that 75 day period when it hasn’t rained at least a little. I sure wish we could install a run-off pipeline that came out in Texas. If it doesn’t rain until winter sets in, that’s fine with me. We need a chance to dry off.

* = actually, I’m wrong. According to the data it rained here the first 5 days of the month. Which would explain the damp parking lots and the wet siding on the houses in the mornings. But that hasn’t been “real” rain, just heavy dew or some light night drippings. If I were to use that methods, then it has rained here 83 days since the beginning of May - 160 days. Hmmmph, actually that seems about right. Please no more rain. Please.

Depressing

Housing market a bust; worst since Great Depression

The American dream of homeownership has felt its biggest drop since the Great Depression, according to new 2010 census figures released Thursday.
...
“The changes now taking place are mind-boggling: the housing market has completely crashed and attitudes toward housing are shifting from owning to renting,” said Patrick Newport, economist with IHS Global Insight.
...
The U.S. housing crisis is far worse than the experience in most Western industrialized nations, which, unlike the U.S., did not foster markets of subprime lending to promote homeownership.

Whole planet going to hell in a handbasket

World facing worst financial crisis in history
Sir Mervyn King [Bank of England Governor] was speaking after the decision by the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee to put £75billion of newly created money into the economy in a desperate effort to stave off a new credit crisis and a UK recession.

Economists said the Bank’s decision to resume its quantitative easing [QE], or asset purchase programme, showed it was increasingly fearful for the economy, and predicted more such moves ahead.

Sir Mervyn said the Bank had been driven by growing signs of a global economic disaster.

“This is the most serious financial crisis we’ve seen, at least since the 1930s, if not ever. We’re having to deal with very unusual circumstances, but to act calmly to this and to do the right thing.”

“This is the most serious financial crisis we’ve seen, at least since the 1930s, if not ever. We’re having to deal with very unusual circumstances, but to act calmly to this and to do the right thing.”

Announcing its decision, the Bank said that the eurozone debt crisis was creating “severe strains in bank funding markets and financial markets”.

Unemployment still abysmal despite 130K new jobs

The nation’s unemployment rate remained stuck at 9.1 percent in September despite an uptick in hiring, as the latest labor report fueled debate in Washington over how to jump-start an economy that President Obama acknowledges has weakened since the start of the year.

The Labor Department said Friday employers added 130,000 jobs in September. Nearly half of those gains, though, were due to the rehiring of 45,000 Verizon employees who had gone on strike.

The hiring did little to draw down the number of unemployed in America, estimated at about 14 million. Since April, the jobless rate has hovered between 9 and 9.2 percent.

The report quickly was pulled into the debate on Capitol Hill over whether to pursue Obama’s $447 billion jobs bill—a mix of tax relief, infrastructure spending and other measures—or pursue a different route.

House Speaker John Boehner said the “sad numbers” show the federal government cannot keep pursuing policies of “more Washington spending, threats of higher taxes on small businesses, and excessive government regulations.”

Another day full of downer news. Hey, let’s spend another trillion or five on BS projects run by big Obama bundlers. And WTH, let’s give those Occupy Wall Street protesters the free ride for life - in first class of course - that they’re demanding. Obama’s mindless minions, calling for communism, and they don’t even know what communism is.

Leaked Report

The Dutch national railway has an unusual solution for passengers who need the bathroom on a train line designed without them: plastic bags.

The rail operator underlined that the bags, introduced Friday, are for use in emergencies only, when a train has stopped and passengers can’t be evacuated. The idea has been met with incredulity by politicians and the general public already unhappy with the short-haul “Sprinter” trains’ bathroomless design.

NS spokesman Eric Trinthamer confirmed Friday the “pee-bag" plan is not a joke. The bags are kept out of sight in the conductor’s booth.

The bags have a cup-shaped plastic top and contain a highly absorbent material that turns urine into a gel-like mixture. After use the bags can be sealed and thrown in the trash.

Eeewwwww.
