Roschach's Journal: October 12th, 1985
Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.
The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of dogs, they have only to go in and out of the city and have them go to the street. What a way to live. A long walk for a dog - if it can get back. It is the true face for every dog lover. This is my true hometown.
This is a message to you, the citizens of Pittsburgh, the dog lovers as well as our visitors who are going to live in Pittsburgh.
All of us here in city hall have been told this week by Mayor John Nutter that his pet project which will give shelter and food dogs to the homeless for $100,000 was over for good. Well, it was not. In the beginning it was a good idea, but, as John said in the press conference, "The budget was tight." John's message to me was if not $100,000, what is the budget? More than double that amount to begin with. I'm thinking to myself, what's left? It's not enough.
It's also not enough to give up the dog-cat hybrid as our new emergency program

In the second season of Seinfeld, Jerry and Larry's dad, Fred Seinfeld, gets an offer to open a restaurant in the White House for George Bush. His initial suggestion: let Bush use the restaurant as a "front desk" so that he can do any job he wants (but first to serve George's father, the first lady, and his fellow Bush children).But the "front" that Jerry and Larry refer to as "the desk" isn't actually a desk at all. The desk is an office. The desk is an office. It's literally a desk at the White House, sitting in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.And the desk is also an office – it's the back corner of George Bush's office.Now what kind of boss isn't going to want to work at their own back corner? The desk is an office and the desk is also an office. So what's the point in having an office if the desk isn't an office, anyway?I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure that if George gets an offer to open the restaurant, and he says yes, Larry and Jerry will move there, and Larry and Jerry are going to be happy to move there, and Jerry and Larry are going to be happy to move

The seven habits of highly effective people:
1. You can live almost anywhere: no need to drive an hour for everything. Live far, far away… it just makes you happier when you do.
2. You can choose your own path: I live within my means, so I don't require special permission to walk.
3. No excuses, no matter how awkward a job may be: I live by the same rules as everyone else and get what I need when I need it.
4. No one thinks I need something else: my life isn't defined by what others want from me. I can do what I want and no one, ever asks my permission.
5. If something sucks… It's not my fault… and I can get over it.
6. I have fun: no work, no boring kids, no expensive cars or vacations. Life isn't defined by what others say or think. There are infinite possibilities.
7. No excuses, no matter how awkward a job may be: I live by the same rules as everyone else and get what I need when I need it.

After John Ritter sold me his washing machine, he gave me a gift of his love.
To me a machine is a device, an appliance. I have a washing machine now, it was a toy when I bought it. It was so simple to use. There is no way I could have been without it. I am sorry about why it was just a toy in the first place, but I didn't know what to do with it.
I also have a beautiful old wooden bookcase with books inside.
The books have been there since I was a child. I loved to read them and so I found mine after losing my old washing machine. The books are very expensive right now.
That one particular book about old cars, I think that's the picture of it.
It was not something I could get rid of completely. It has been sitting here with its old pictures now for years and years. I have just passed away (November 22-29th). It has been sitting in my kitchen, waiting to be taken away.
I will cherish it forever and I will never want it gone!
Thanks, John Ritter

I read the news today, oh, boy. About the woman who had been shot and killed in her home by an unknown gunman on Saturday night. She was a mother of four. That the man who shot her, a former Marine, was released on $150,000 bail on Sunday night is pretty remarkable, in addition to what happened today. It's extraordinary that the police couldn't get him to open up at the start of the week. He was never under arrest when the news surfaced.
And there's another story, too.
So there is a second story, and we have some information of it from the police, which I'm hoping you'll help us bring to light. When they found this woman, I asked whether they had a name on file for whoever shot her. They weren't in a rush to say, "Oh, OK, that's their name." They said, simply, "It is a female at this time." I asked if they could give a more detailed description. "I do have one description." So they would like to know why they haven't done anything yet, what they think their role is and where they stand with this case. The other woman who was shot, there was another name. So they've got a female name and have not got an arrest report for her yet. I didn't follow the details of when this

All happy families are alike. Each unhappy family is an unhappy family, an unhappy family is a miserable family, and a miserable family is a miserable family. Some unhappy families are fortunate enough to have no children at all, and some families have too many. As you can see, the difference is not subtle.
It all starts with a few important rules of thumb. Rule One is that there are no parents (except, perhaps, in the case of a couple with kids by a single woman). There are two kinds of parents, and two main types of parent. The first parents are the men, and they are the only ones who know their babies. When they have been conceived, they carry them to term. They are usually men and the children are often born without eyes and hearts. The other kind of parents are the women, though, who are often the breadwinners. She takes care of the babies to give them nourishment, and she keeps all the children, so that each family will have at least one child to care for. A baby is an adult, after all, the oldest living thing on Earth. When she is conceived, she carries a newborn baby (often of a variety not yet well-defined). She then eats and drinks the baby until it is old enough to give birth, giving the mother some time to eat and drink a meal before giving birth.

it's good for origin stories.
Spider-Man's alter ego is Clark Kent. He grew up the son of Bruce and Martha Kent in the suburbs of New York City, and took up the costume after his father left for service in World War II. As his alter ego, he grew up in Gotham City and was raised by his uncle Wayne Manor, where he took on various different social functions. After Clark was brought up from a rough upbringing his parents wanted him to grow up to be a hero, and were disappointed at his lack of superpowers while they had him, Clark quickly earned his own superpower. His secret identity, called Clark Kent/Catwoman, was developed after taking upon his role as Catwoman and was meant to be an easygoing, charming, or even naive cat burglar. He was later made a hero by the police and became a hero even more. After his first encounter with the Joker, he became romantically involved with the Dark Knight and became his alter ego The Dark Knight which eventually made him Batman, but Batman's new nickname, also known as The Penguin, was bestowed upon him when his powers turned into an evil version of his former self due to his encounter with The Joker's Joker.

Seems legit:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
For forty years we have been engaged in struggle against all oppressions of any kind.
We have been attacked at every phase of our lives; in politics, in religion, in every way. . . . Our opponents have thrown everything they have against us. In the name of God, they assail our very souls. In the name of God, we cry Out loud!
But now our time has come when things have come to a crisis.
The greatest nation in the history of the world is about to be threatened with total economic collapse. If we do not rise up in revolt, the whole planet – and all of human civilization – will collapse. The forces we use to resist are in many ways as powerful as those we use ourselves. But our fate is sealed. The battle begins now!
No force on earth has the power to destroy an economy, to bankrupt the system like we can. We the people must rise up and crush the corporate media (New York Times is, as a matter of fact, owned by Exxon).
The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and other American media must leave this country for at least three months and then leave their offices wherever they go

The effects I experienced with this strain were great and pleasant, like one of those sleep hallucinations you'll usually get after a long day of driving across town. That and the fact that I woke up in the middle of bed screaming for help. If you are someone who gets hallucinations while driving in or out of cities and villages then you know what I'm talking about.
The first few puffs are not that strong but it soon results in some intense and excessive excrement.
The hallucinations did not end but had the typical "wish it was tomorrow before you died" syndrome which lasts until the brain gets used to the effects and will return to normality.
The effects did not last for more than 45 mins. As stated in my previous post on the subject, "it was like being hit in the mouth twice!"

What does the algorithm see in you? What do you want to express? What can you do to express it? What questions come up in it that you don't want the software to answer? There aren't even explicit answers yet. You can only take in what there is, and hope that your intuitions are wrong. What a terrible design choice. I'd rather my system does what it's programmed to; the rest of me is left guessing. So there you go: you get what you pay for. You'll know that it does what it's set out to do, and you'll feel safe with it. You may be surprised at the things that it can still make wrong, because the algorithm isn't built with the intention of providing one-way, one-sentence answers at all times. This is the basic idea behind the "what's not allowed" box in the software design review process. This applies also whenever there are questions you're not able to answer, or when you come up against constraints your implementation cannot meet. By design, the software should try to answer these questions at all times. For many developers, what makes things weird is that they're often forced to think hard about what the program does and what its limits and constraints mean, and then they

two plus two equals nine, so we are in reality nine plus seven = twelve)."
The number nine is the fourth number of the Hebrew alphabet and, according to Islamic history, represents the divine power of divinity. One might assume that there would be a significant amount of interest in a number nine in the 19th century. However, even with the advent of modern technology, many religious scholars did not expect the development to have such widespread significance, and the Jewish population never found itself to include a 9-9.
Rabbi Yitzchak Kedarz said of this fact: "The 9-9 is the ninth letter at the beginning of a Hebrew alphabet, its meaning, however, remained secret. By means of the Hebrew 10-9, the numbers 9, 12, and 20, we know the exact order of the symbols. This is the reason why the 9-9 corresponds to the name of Rabbi Ezra ben Solomon, who created the first written Torah in the year 533 B.C. We cannot tell with certainty where Rabbi Ezra ben Solomon was born. His father, Rabbi Baruch Solomon died in the year 709 B.C., when the people of the land occupied Jerusalem. But we know that his name is written the first time in the form of letters in the inscription on the door of his father's tomb in the city of Gibeah.

Fitter, happierMore productiveComfortableNot drinking too muchRegular exercise at the fitness centre.Carrying your weight around helps get your blood pressure up and keep you feeling strong (or at least happy). Exercise also helps you to sleep better and have less anxiety. You may even think: "Ah, I could go back home and sleep!" If not for having an exercise routine we wouldn't do anything of use. This advice is based on the observation of other studies in psychology and health that suggest exercising in a variety of activities might have a similar effect on health as exercise does with mental health. The results of these studies have been extremely clear - not only does exercise improve health, it improves fitness too."It also improves fitness.

It was a dark and stormy night. A man in a dark suit, white coat, and tie walked around the area before him.
He said he would be in contact with police if anyone else could help him.
His partner was not hurt, and he seemed to be unharmed in the worst of the storm.
"Just take a deep breath," he said as he stood up.
A man drove up behind him, and said he was a cop. The two walked closer, and he talked about the police.
He got up and walked away.
On the way back, the police stopped the vehicle. When another officer walked near them, the man pulled a gun and pointed it at them.
He took their pockets and told police that was the gun he was carrying when he opened fire.

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta make sure you're not just some freak 'cause if you're not a freak, you're wrong
It's an art form we've gone to war with, to be fair
But you gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
This rock and roll we're living in ain't easy

Second-inversion I chords, which don't classically have tonic function, are sometimes produced when the vocal melody is diminished by a fourth note as in: F.The 3-5 chord is generally considered by musicians to have more tonality in general, and is not easily represented by single-note chords as they are in the other modes. The three-note triad is the basis of the dominant I chord except for the minor. A triad is the foundation chord of these modes and can be considered the third dominant chord, or even the sixth. Triads are based on two chords: a fourth dominant and a second dominant chord, where the dominant chord is diminished on its fourth note.A triad has three principal triadals: the triad, which can be made up of two or more notes, and the triadin, which is made up of two or more triads.The two keys that have triads are C, and key 3. Keys of this order are dominant and tonic, so triads in all possible keys are based on triads of key 3.Some American and British musicians often take a tonic-dominant position, and play many of these songs in 3rd string minor. These "tongues" of dominant tonality are also often given the name "minor tonal harmony."

In 1857, Abraham Lincoln famously said "My head's too small" to win re-election. In the current presidential race, he seems to have said "Well, you are not going to let me win that job. I'll be seventy-five years old by the time we get to the inauguration."
What's going on? How did Abraham Lincoln become the President of the United States, who had a head so small? We think this might be because of his famous battle cry in the Lincoln Memorial, "I would not be the President had I not won," which Lincoln uttered during the Presidential Election campaign to help persuade others that a loss was not just a loss, but his victory.

The band's music has been described as a mix between The Stone Roses and Primal Scream with the swagger of Oasis. "When someone's singing a song, that's their own thing," says singer Jonny Greenwood, "but when the song is a love song ... I love it. It's something I will never cease to love."

<b>She took off her bra and got on her knees.</b> She bent over and gave me a quick kiss and then slipped her panties off again. I took one look at her naked body and knew that she didn't want me. She knew I was there to kill her, like I had murdered her mother. She said little words that I was too afraid to hear. "I didn't say anything to her, I told you to watch your back!" I took another look at her bare tits and saw why she had no pussy. I felt her pussy lips start to slide down the top of her panties and she screamed as she came. Her breath caught as she came for the second time in a long time. "Oh God! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!!! I'm so sorry!!! Why did I do that to you?! Why? I'm so sorry! I just, uh...oh. God, I don't know...I don't know what happened. Oh no!" She grabbed my face in her hair and cried hysterically. I heard her scream again, "Please come for me! Please!" It didn't take me more than a split second to understand what she was saying

theresa may: is her project subtly machiavellian or merely cunning, baldrick-style?
thedy: it's both . . . and not. her project is to win the hearts and minds of the undecided. but when the undecided is made to feel like they are in the wrong by the project being presented with a choice between them and the project in the opposite direction . . .
theresa may: what if the project as a whole fails to satisfy the desired target? how will that hurt them in the longer-run?
theresa may: how will "them" feel?
theresa may: what if the project in fact works better for them than the project in the opposite direction?
theresa may: will they actually become more loyal to her project?
thedy may: do i lose a few votes simply because i disagree? or is that merely bad social engineering?
it will work.
if the project does not fulfill its potential, I guess i lose only 2 votes and a bit too many people but the project will still prevail.
i'm not a good sociologist so it might be a waste to say so . . .
this might be easier in the longer runs in more subtle ways but I imagine that as soon as people begin to get bored with it

nsfw but strangely literary: She was naked and her cunt was full and her breast very big. She had wet her cunt with her hand and her whole whole body was sore and stretched like a lumpy lump on her stomach. She told me that her breast was like a big jollity-bell, all full-grown. What did I do? I could not take care of my wife's tender and tender cunt. I took out something which will suffice. I put it between my hands and I touched the whole thing and gave her nothing which I could not do without. Now she was full of pleasure. She lay on the floor, she turned round and kissed me as if I loved her. No one knows what she said, for if I had done so she would have died."
