This is ambre. Erik is in IC til 3/3:30.

Mom, I think you should stay in your snob free zone. You shouldn't go wandering about FB without supervision.

That last one was me, Ambre. I didn't realize Rik was signed in on my Touch.

EWWWW! The Cubs!?

did "the voices" tell you that? :)

were you getting some, um, Grub?

you got a tie? yay for early father's day!

that's funny, i have been trying to figure out something i could write in python for fun. my best idea so far has been a war card game where i output it to text for now and then make it graphical "some time later"

hey ambre, kiss me

do you know all the verses to grandma got run over by a reindeer?

inara

yeah for the 10% discount at the naturally yours store!

Don't you dare try to stand in the way of progress!

I don't like this, but I agree!

And I had a steak that was cooked right! :)

turns out i'm not friends with phyllis but i thought i could share this with her :) read and you'll see why

Funny, I always quoted that as "schnozzberries", but it's really "snozzberries". You learn something every day!

poetic scholly

yeah, was totally asleep before any of this started, ha

but there could still be nuclear disasters (the 2nd tone they test)

green or white everywhere, it's a legitimate choice

my hand imprint? or is that still hanging on the wall?

dewd go to bed!!!

whaaat. i should have gotten up earlier i didn't see that :)

but they are a stepping stone to ultimate churrascaria victory!

what was your planned vs actual time of going home?

ok, so we've narrowed down that a manager would want to see "planned" vs "actual" on the screen, does that theory match the telecon argument? :)

i'm disappointed you didn't mention this today. at least you mentioned "asperger's".

why?

:)

gemmaaa!!!

yeah down south a bit further we could see the mountains tonight for the first time all week!

keep talking scholl, we're all intently listening

How about peer reviews -> prisoner's dilemma?

Taking the time to check in at Sam's Club. Awesome.

you just said crap twice

no seriously, i was working hard, i took kids!! and don't worry jim we got our share of bleacher bums on the train ride to the game :)

Hey i'll arrive around 4 pacific Sunday i'll call!

Poor Inara, I've trained her that the state is called "Calley-fornia"

7pm Monday, if you haven't heard yet...

Ahhh! I know exactly what happened here. Not because I've done it, but because I read up to the point where I understood I'd probably end up with a situation like that, and then I called a plumber!!! Btw, love the "oops, hole too big" patch attempt :)

I think the groupon, etc, trend is interesting because someone can literally get half or more off for eating out whenever they want. Sounds like "restaurant stagflation" if there is such a thing...

keep the ideas rolling scholl, pun intended.

I don't think the dreadlocks are even necessary!

Bungee jump?!? That would have been a double puke!

it's a fin whale, one of the biggest kinds

um, right, this is Ambre Sautter posting. forgot this wasn't my computer. :) explains why i recognize few people in the news feed!

in terms of number of surface sightings, yes definitely. in terms of total percentage of whale body above the surface, we didn't see a whole lot more. but i think i got one picture with both of them above water which was pretty cool

turquoise. but to give alison credit for her picture narrative skills, see the next picture :)

Full disclosure. It was a distribution center.

http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/801-economy/174447-moodys-neither-plan-protects-the-nations-aaa-rating - I have doubts the world will end on August 3rd, I'd rather they take longer and come up with a real solution anyway. But realistically...http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/07/13/minnesota_government_shutdown_miller_coors_forced_to_recall_beer.html - a few people will lose their "Miller Lite" and something will get rammed through. Personally though I think the way to fix this would be in doing a budget right, which is another messed up system...

For lacing the pool with fecal matter?

In fact, I think Facebook should globally implement a "gotta have" button.

redwood or sequoia?

As soon as I see an advert for a new laptop "m-key" I'm getting the heebie jeebies.

I was remarking recently that we miss you guys too! I've been "clean" from traveling for two whole months to the day, which has been good. And thanks to the new awesome Facebook features my boss can see this in live time more easily than ever! :) Hope all's well with you guys too! Next week may already be full for us, but we should all get together asap.

http://albadsm.com/ - they had bacon ice cream when we went there

At least it's not a Yaris

A nice "clean" interface that makes it pretty easy to use, the circles feature makes some things work differently than you might expect. I think I like posting there better but there's more to read on facebook

Scholl since you're the only one watching check this one out, it's kinda like this thread and me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1_-TlqdIvM&feature=related

John Dzado was likely working and not out to a long lunch, as he's a good employee, and definitely not getting his nails or hair done.

What? So you only scored four goals?

Just broadening perspectives, that's all :)

Andy, it's still in a small enough radius from Minnesota that nobody looks twice at a Minnesota Viking fan, so there's bound to be some crossover.

yeah josh, quick it!

va...ca? shun?

Did I mention "like"?

agreed. :)

No no, we're really niner niners. Imagine the odds of that!

yeah, grain free actually.

any kind of tea is fine. I always bring tea bags with me, so if we

Ambre wants to know "what's the rush?"

yeeaahhh!

Jim you have a yaris?!?!

I'm impressed, in the new model they moved the instrument panel over from the MIDDLE OF THE DASH. Most dangerous rental car ever.

But what is the story?

Sweetness, I'd been meaning to dig in on that one for awhile but never seem to remember when I'm not driving.

I could see Will Ferrell, but I always leaned toward Brian Regan -> http://images.wikia.com/cybernations/images/6/6d/Ambassador_Brian_Regan.png

I guess technically so am I eh? :-p

wait you live in peoria, not normal!!

Yes, remember that he's only running for head of the executive branch, which I think almost everyone agrees could use a chill pill.

yumma!!

I like pie, burritos, and Tim Biang's chocolate mousse cake thing. You?

Maybe it was my Britney spears theme party in 04 that sealed it :)

That's original. As in, like the original performer first super bowl.

They have polos!

Not that I am aware of, I'd say in another couple months we might be back in a higher travel phase at work. Beside that, if we have a vacation I know Inara will use all of her 5 years of life experience to lobby for going back to southern California. She draws pictures of and dreams of the beach and mountains frequently. :) Either way if I'm around I will definitely fill you in. Are you back around here any time soon? Hope your day was great!

naw dude, i was, uh, searching for "best local fries" and i mis-typed, or something....no actually i blame cnn and their front page.

It's becoming more the case that the limit on presidential authority is how they define it themselves, so at any given time about half the people are fine with it and the other half are unsettled. I'm not so sure all that authority is a good idea.

Best half hour of my life. Didn't even step on one nail.

Left to her own devices she will beat her head on hard objects. It's one of the more endearing tendencies she has received from her daddy. But yeah it seems pretty clear this won't work itself out over Facebook timeliness aka The Days of Our Lives.

yogu-la-hee-hoo?

But wouldn't all the "Me wantee!!!!!!" or "Yeah, this!" comments made on pins count as "commenting" on the work?

That happened to me once, and then someone tied tampons that were colored red by markers on my car too. Just a warning about what's surely next for you.

Good thing for you I'vebeen been viking free since 1999 :)

There is a yelling lunatic fringe, but just as damaging and less criticized is what i would call the "snark fringe" (the type of person who would point out I didn't capitalize "I" above), who try to use passive aggression as a primary discussion tactic. I know I've been guilty of that before, it's easier to mock someone (even better, a faceless group of people) or say something ironic than it is to try understanding someone else and using facts as the weapon, but it's something I see happening all the time and hurting chances for good discussion.

I mostly wasn't talking about this conversation directly (although I think Greg's frustration here can be traced to the "tea bagger" reference which doesn't help things), I was thinking more globally about our society's way of addressing stuff, what I see on the media on down to comment threads and many Facebook discussions.

Since you must be wondering: "A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra", "The Dandy Warhols Come Down" by Dandy Warhols, and this one made me chuckle, "Transplants" by Transplants.

And to rub salt in that wound, I probably didn't notice the group because I was so busy trying not to create autocorrect fails >_<

I hear you on the kids thing Sarah. I've got myself a slightly different problem for the week though, I've been without the kids for about 24 hours and I'm going crazy myself. I no longer have a reason to lock the bathroom door!

Also I got in late last night and slept in until 9:30 so I did not have the same problem as you Tat. We'll see if I turn hater tomorrow morning :)

He's clearly less Cherokee and more Swedish :)

I must add these Journey lyrics: in saying "don't stop, believing!", the artist was telling someone named believing to not stop, and presumably the thing to not be stopped was "wondering".

Haha, I think it was the explanation that made it funny more than anything. Menu fort, haha.

welcome to the old club

I wonder which big corporations will be all of our landlords in 25 years. For example, look to the aftermath of the 1980s farm crisis and how it gave rise to big ag. I have a feeling all this will play out similarly.

You can send pix of driving along the pacific coast at sunset!! Pleease!!?

I think the answer is different at different levels of government, and at the federal level it's important to remember that whatever power is given will be used, even by the executive branch of a later president that may not hold to the same intentions as the one who proposed the law. I think we got away with extra restrictions during the ww2 time because we were a more unified and homogenous society. Seeing how divided we are now should in my opinion give everyone pause about moving more to the restrictive end of the continuum on bill of rights issues. Someone in the "few" may soon become a member of the "many", and vice versa.

I think it depends on what type of freedom and/or guarantee of well-being is up for discussion. There's a bit of a continuum there too. For instance, patents are meant as a type of guarantee of well-being and protection by government, but they probably wouldn't override many 1st amendment concerns. With respect to protection of life there is the "clear and present danger" standard that's been defined, so there are definitely times where that overrides the 1st amendment. My point on mentioning the principle of the matter earlier was that some of the societal problems that people might be prone to try solving by limiting freedoms are likely to turn on their head at some point by factors outside of the law (like cultural or technological change), leaving the government with great temptation to use those powers in ways they were not intended.

you've seen it here: coders get the girl

I mostly use the stuff at python.org or stackoverflow for more specific questions. for a tutorial I'd try to find something that is closely related to the type of task you want to do because otherwise you can drown in information

Kraft dinner is the name of Kraft Mac and cheese in Canada. Knightley's shirt has a Canadian flag on it. We had a makeshift gluten free Mac and cheese for dinner, so it was sort of like we had Kraft dinner. Eh?

:)

no, more like this: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/frame_game/2013/07/trayvon_martin_verdict_racism_hate_crimes_prosecution_and_other_overreactions.html

I think a movie should be made in the style of Waiting For Guffman but about people who run in all the different types of races out there

Hey, flippers off! I'm trying to do The Worm here!

That's funny, I thought initially it was Android-only because it's super useful and figured Apple wouldn't allow it in the App Store, but was happy to see we could get it on iPad too :).
For security I have it set up for LAN-only access with whitelist because my main goal is to keep keyboards away from kids who want to mash them. However I'm thinking whitelist plus password would be reasonably secure for the convenience.

And Chan the card you gave me said you teach "tai chai". I had no idea you were an expert at slow tea drinking movements!

Foreign data plans can't be cheap

But a slide show after the fact over a glass of wine brought back from the vineyard while staring straight into Kim's newly Europeanized soul (not to mention the inevitable "how did that one get in there" moment), while requiring more patience, surely would prove more enduring, would it not?

Ahh good I was waiting for someone to say "wine-ing" :)

Doe!

Love the meaning behind this (whether intentional or not)

It made me think of Robert Talcott's cover photo

Noah!

Whoa I'm up late.

Ooh, that looks like quality!

That sounds gruesome!!! :)

That was one of the best days I can remember

You're very welcome, love you guys and so glad you could be with us!

Congratulations, in the same loco way you will for possibly three hours share a birthday with Britney Spears

You win the award for first!! :)

Funny story, that's the fire station we visited a couple months ago (on illinois st), they are really nice there and seem to love visitors, also xoco restaurant is nearby, we liked it

I thought I recognized those two hotels across the street from the fire station, but what really sealed it was the rock on the corner by the light pole where we took some pictures. have a fun trip! :)

you now know what shakira knows?

Aka days ending in y, and yes I mean Sunday too

Dude, totally forgot about the video poster! I should really have patented that thing :)

It's kind of a mess now because it's so easy to put ones opinions out there for the whole world to see (and just as easy for those opinions to be misunderstood), I would bet too if corporations were treated legally less like "people" they wouldn't feel as much need to do image control based on what one employee says. With the Justine thing, was that an attempt at a joke? I read that and don't see racism, but instead a joke I don't quite get or that just wasn't funny. I would tend to think she shouldn't be fired for that, this internet viral stuff is nuts and we don't really understand what we're doing. "The medium is the message" and all that stuff.

I mentioned not knowing what it means on purpose to broadcast my honest lack of understanding, because apparently there's an "obvious" meaning to a good number of people. So, now what? What do I do, and how should others react to me? Should i go along with the mob? Should I speak up to defend someone being attacked (possibly in my ignorance), because though admittedly ignorant it can be hard to stand by and watch someone getting absolutely reamed (and isn't that the lesson "what would you do" teaches us anyway)? Do I just be quiet and scratch my head? Should I live in fear of the mob? Should others consider me "discredited" and "ignorant" in a broader sense because of this instance? ( I'm not over analyzing this exact situation for my own sake but thinking of the many many similar cases we come across every day now that social media is so prevalent)

On your other question my opinion is If they are employing people as a legal entity like a corporation the church needs to follow those laws, so they should be careful how they set themselves up. Beyond that it would also sort of depend on how ones beliefs affect their job duties, ie I could see a tougher standard for a pastor vs some other function, and the bible does prescribe ways to keep most instances like that from happening if followed. It's somewhat nuanced really and meant to be worked out in practice as a community with understanding and forgiveness. But that's my opinion

Definitely agree

I looked them up, supports up to 130v and is $10 less per bulb than the cfl 130v equivalent!!! A Christmas miracle! :)

Noooo, Electric Boogaloo!!!!

You're right

like totally!

That's pretty sweet, I hadn't heard of it. There's an online game called light-bot that Inara had fun with (up to the point where it required recursion but I can let that slide), but I like how that's hands-on. I'm imagining hacking it to add a slider switch to control the distance and/or time for each of the movement commands, hmmmmm....thanks for the share!

how ironic you shared this publicly, shmoopie. ;)

Nobody has mentioned how Ambre failed at the South with "ya'all"???

I made this for you on our anniversary!!!! http://i.imgur.com/bhiRut9.jpg

Better as one for sure!

" From the hospital’s point of view, I’m sure I met every one of the "targets" they set for me on my "care pathway". The only glitch is that I developed a superficial wound infection that took more than two weeks to clear up. The hospital’s statistics won’t reflect that, because it only became apparent after I left for home. " As a "straight out of Dilbert" software engineer that snippet in particular made me snicker.

Haha nothing was really up until about 6pm, I left at around 730 :)

Gemma got a cut infected from creek water and needed to be admitted in the hospital, she's doing well but it was a bit much for Ambre to handle while visiting St. Louis!

Looking over to illinois, the closest they ended up coming to seeing Betsy Talcott Kelleher after the surprises of the weekend :(

Inara thought id like a picture of the baseball stadium :)

Aaaaand the hospital....

One time I had a polka dancing tv show on mute and had a bunch old people unknowingly polka dancing to eminem, possibly the hardest I've ever laughed

But she doesn't look a day over 29 does she? :)

On the upside, this time I didn't end up with stitches from getting the rusted on spare tire down.

Here's the full clip from the show

Ambre Sautter

Steal some of his food for me!

It's not just the style but the substance behind it. Styles always come back but I fear we're losing some of the substance. This is a blurb from an article a few years back that's always stuck with me: "And there's something else, not only in Manhattan but throughout the country. A major reason people are blue about the future is not the stores, not the Treasury secretary, not everyone digging in. It is those things, but it's more than that, and deeper.

It's Sully and Suleman, the pilot and "Octomom," the two great stories that are twinned with the era. Sully, the airline captain who saved 155 lives by landing that plane just right&mdash;level wings, nose up, tail down, plant that baby, get everyone out, get them counted, and then, at night, wonder what you could have done better. You know the reaction of the people of our country to Chesley B. Sullenberger III: They shake their heads, and tears come to their eyes. He is cool, modest, competent, tough in the good way. He's the only one who doesn't applaud Sully. He was just doing his job.

This is why people are so moved: We're still making Sullys. We're still making those mythic Americans, those steely-eyed rocket men. Like Alan Shepard in the Mercury rocket: "Come on and light this candle."

But Sully, 58, Air Force Academy '73, was shaped and formed by the old America, and educated in an ethos in which a certain style of manhood&mdash;of personhood&mdash;was held high.

What we fear we're making more of these days is Nadya Suleman. The dizzy, selfish, self-dramatizing 33-year-old mother who had six small children and then a week ago eight more because, well, she always wanted a big family. "Suley" doubletalks with the best of them, she doubletalks with profound ease. She is like Blago without the charm. She had needs and took proactive steps to meet them, and those who don't approve are limited, which must be sad for them. She leaves anchorwomen slack-jawed: How do you rough up a woman who's still lactating? She seems aware of their predicament." http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB123447506782479249

It's back on yay!

In honor of this occasion, I made a wikipedia edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_eponyms_(L–Z)#P

Oops I was not clear in my previous post, I added "Alan parsons - the Alan parsons project" to the Wikipedia list of eponyms, which you can see listed under the letter p.

That's very interesting you mention "politically correct" because I think that term has in this case, shall I say, mutated, from "not saying something that might offend a group of people" to "not saying something that makes government 'look bad'"

I've seen that same thing on radio.com and for me it says "bring so and so to Cedar Rapids", I think it will take more than a button click in my case :)

Fun we almost went there last night. you didn't need the trampoline to dunk right?

No sid the science kid?!?!?!?!

To think, we were young and impressionable and this stuff was bombarding our poor brains! We just wholesale accepted this stuff as normal and not lame in our formative years. It explains a lot, our generation never had a chance! :)

Stackoverflow + jsfiddle

You could say it was a dronie

This is out of control you phone users! - sent by my computer

And I guess I could have been more clear. Ambre will take your collect calls :)

jon, have you or have you not ever taken a dronie?

Visit that page and look through the directions to find if there is another computer somewhere signed in as you, and you may want to change your password. The gear icon looks like it has changed, but choose "settings" from the down arrow in the top right on the blue bar, then "security" as shown and the option is now called "where you're logged in"

i'd say call me but it will go to ambre and i'm not home now :)

you know it's serious when the public statement includes the word "monies"

We have an empty but warm extra house if you need a home base for a few hours

See even I can do it!

Wahhhhht

My bday is in December :)

We are a few minute b team bus ride from Hiawatha in nw cr

Its some straight up amazing stuff for a can, right now the cr/Iowa city distributor has it, I doubt they service mason city

Jonathan Heinz Andy Swyter get in touch with my parents this evening if you want a can ;)

I told them to expect it, they'll be home sometime this evening. :)

Yumma

Let's hope it's not "Joanie Loves Chachi" all over again!

Or maybe you're incorrigible? ;)

Boom! Walked right into my trap!

Nice!
