Цудоўная суполка ![[info]](http://lj.rossia.org/img/userinfo-lj.gif) ban_topology@ljРусь-матушка стонет под гнётом оранжевых агентов Запада, повсеместно насаждающих разврат, наркотики и - до какого бесчеловечного свинства не постеснялись дойти эти изверги! - топологию. ДОКОЛЕ?! мы, простые труженики: инженерынанотех, программисты, рабочие, крестьяне, священникиМП - требуем раз и навсегда запретить эту идеалистическую, бесполезную, бездуховную, разлагающую неокрепшие мозги наших будущих специалистов "науку" - топологиюанафема!. лекало, таблицы квадратных уравнений, да вера в Боженьку - что ещё для развития нанотехнологий нужно? Табліцы Квадратных Раўнаньняў дабы не осквернить себя, считая решения квадратного уравнения по числоблядской формуле(да ить и не упомнишь её, окаянную), инженернанотех смотрит в Таблицу, в коей для различных значений коэффициентов(извините за сотонинское слово) квадратного уравнения Боженькою начертаны его решения. и так мудро сии Таблицы БоженькоюМП устроены, что ничего простому сермяжному инженерунанотех кроме этих Таблиц и Лекала и не надобно, чтобы трудиться на своём родном Заводестальная болванка! во славу Нанотехнологийслава Святопутену!. и уж тем паче не надобно никакой, помилуй Господи, топологиианафема!! логарифмической линейкой канонично ли пользоваться?

New Fred Well worth reading! Stray memory: I read once that bin Laden said he wanted to suck the US into long drawn-out losing wars to bankrupt the country and end its influence over the Moslem world. I don’t know why I thought of that. I need to focus better. |

| 11:14 pm [Link] | А если человек выпил 2 баттла модного портвейна, например, то утром он проснется в приподнятом настроении, на свежем воздухе, сразу запряжет коня в плуг и поедет бороновать землю, сеять эту модную сельхозпродукцию, например, и будет все здорово, например. Я выступаю не за алкоголизм а за культуру пития, все эти разговоры о мифическом здоровом образе жизни - полная чушь. У меня один знакомый больше всего на эту тему высказывался, читал нравоучения, от него телка ушла, так он он потом спился как свинья... А если б иногда бухал, то, может быть, она и не свалила... |

Syarzhuk's Voting Guide Electors of President and Vice President: NADER and GONZALEZ, Independent 1) if you live in a non-battleground state, voting for either of the major party candidates is throwing the vote away. No matter how the readers of this entry will vote, MA will vote for Obama anyway 2) in such a case the only rationale for voting at all is to give the major politicians a signal where your preferences are. So if you are a conservative in a non-battleground state, it would make much more sense to vote for Barr, and if you are a liberal, it would make much more sense to vote for Nader/Gonzalez (or the Green ticket of McKinney/Clemente). After all, Dems did move to the left - compare Obama/Biden to the Gore circa 2000/Lieberman - a lot because of Nader. Senator: JOHN F. KERRY After giving up presidential hopes he gave up pandering to undecided Ohioans and became a real lefty senator - just what we Bay Staters need. Representative: EDWARD J. MARKEY He is not doing much in Congress - but he's not doing anything bad. The other choice on the ticket is a Republican, and these guys cannot be trusted, period. State Representative - against all. It's a shame that Republican Tisei runs unopposed. Ballot questions: 1 (elimination of income tax) - NO. I know a lot of smart folks who want to vote Yes just to see what will the state powers do 2 (decriminalizing marijuana) - YES. In my opinion, this is the biggest reason to vote this year. This is the only item on the ballot where your vote can make a significant and positive change. 3 (prohibition of dog racing) - NO. The greyhound racing business is subject to Mass General Laws and is regulated by the State Racing Commission. If there are any problems with the way dogs are treated, they are a reason to pressure the commission into regulating the racetracks better - but not for closing the tracks outright! I don't think we should be prohibiting an activity that people find enjoyable, getting the state rid of jobs and tax income. crossposted to BlueMassGroup |

Block African witchcraft curses against McCain and Palin NOW! Bree Keyton, a young woman evangelist who had just traveled to Kenya and visited Obama's home village and what she found out about his relations with his tribal people was chilling. And his "cousin" Odinga was dreadful. She said the witches, warlocks and those involved in satanism and the occult get up daily at 3 a.m. to release curses against McCain and Palin so B. Hussein Obama is elected. |

The curves of yellow banjo (an old Boyscouts' campfire song)
Am Dm E7 Am
The curves of yellow banjo you're huggin' with affection,
Am Dm G С
The strings are piercin' heavens with echoes of their sound
Gm A7 Dm G7 С
The night sky is vibratin', stars mix with their reflections
Dm Am E7 F
So nice to see ya'll here - come up and stick around
Our own private sunset -- the shadows play with fire
Why do you frown, my buddy? The sadness is unfound:
Someone who holds you dear, your passionate admirer
Will say "So nice to see you, come up and stick around"
We'll drink some bitter moonshine or maybe even whiskey
Rememberin' the fellows already in the ground.
The yippin' of coyotes, so evil yet so frisky
Will never ever scare us - we'll drink and stick around

Promethean Tango Promethean Tango If ever I wanted to make fire, I could wait for lightning to strike a convenient tree but since lightning and I are strangers to each other, it might be better if I rubbed two twigs together. Or I could get religion and stand on a sacred mountain, praying for some bush to start its burning or maybe I could seize the day and squeeze it through a convex eye of glass to make a distillate of light: one hot, white spot of sun. I could take a more industrial approach. With due regard to every regulation governing health and safety and pollution, I could build a factory to blend sulphur, phosphorous and binding agents into a bright red bead to drop exactly on the tip of a softwood stick. Or I could just BUY a box of matches. If I did any of these things in close conjunction with a crumpled fist of brittle bone-dry grass, I might if I was lucky, get a thin, blue bootlace curl of smoke, followed eventually by a small warm glow. Alternatively, I could put on some music: “Milonga Triste” say, and you could close your eyes and tilt your head, slightly and your lips could brush my cheekbone lightly, or that might be my imagination since the touch would be so brief, so soft, you couldn’t really call it friction. And then we could dance in close embrace. Just dance, con dos corazones ardiendo, while the watching world went up in flames. _________________ Rob Evans Tags: tango |

| 03:08 pm [Link] | Guess I'm not the only one comparing D vs R presidents' effect on economy: Despite 'market friendly' Republican policies, stocks rise more and volatility dips under Democrats. what these numbers show almost beyond doubt is that Democrats are better at virtually every economic task that is important to Republicans Data for the whole period from 1948 to 2007 [...] show average annual growth of real gross national product of 1.64 percent per capita under Republican presidents versus 2.78 percent under Democrats.

| 01:23 pm [Link] | Перыядычныя заняткі танго, канешне, б'юць па кішэні, але й прыносяць псыхалягічнае задавальненьне, прычым не заўсёды напрасткі. Трохі месяцаў таму ў мяне зьмянілася першая лічба вагі, а паход у краму сёньня пацьвердзіў, што першая лічба ў памеры нагавіцаў таксама паменьшылася. Frequent tango dancing, of course, drains one's pocket, but brings a lot of psychological benefits, sometimes in a non-direct way. Several months ago the first digit in my weight changed for the better; the trip to a clothing store today confirmed that my pant size also shrank. Current Music: Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity |

Metallica - Death Magnetic А Металіка тымчасам запісала новы альбумчык 'Сьмяротны магніцік'. Вось на вытрубцы ляжаць 4 песьні, ды й астатнія недалёка. У адрозьненьне на папярэдняга St Anger, які я проста ніасіліў даслухаць да канца, у гэты раз усё гучыць прыстойна, ў духу "...And Justice for All" і трошкі "Master of Puppets" - такія-ж доўгія песенькі з гітарнымі салякамі (мне нават здалася, што ў першай песеньцы ёсьць нешта ад Blackened, ў другой ад Sanitarium, а ў трэйцяй ад Master of Puppets). Запісана ўсё, канешне, вельмі гладзенька, мэлёдыі вылізаныя, галасок Хетфілда гучыць незлабіва, карацей кажучы, гэта сімулякр былога велічу. Але, халера, падабаецца данельга :) |

Get Shorty! Americans have trouble with long words. So it shouldn't be surprising that my highly scientific analysis of the last 10 presidential elections shows that in 8 of 10 the winning ticket was the one where the combined length of the last names of running mates was shorter. The rule is "Whichever ticket has the shorter combined length wins, except for Democrats running with Clinton on a ticket or against Bob Dole, when they win anyway" :) 1968 NixonAgnew HumphreyMuskie 1972 NixonAgnew McGovernShriver 1976* CarterMondale FordDole 1980 ReaganBush CarterMondale 1984 ReaganBush MondaleFerraro 1988 BushQuayle DukakisBentsen 1992** ClintonGore BushQuayle 1996* ** ClintonGore DoleKemp 2000 BushCheney GoreLieberman 2004 BushCheney KerryEdwards *Bob Dole on the R ticket **Bill Clinton on the D ticket Based on that, we can predict that Obama/Biden will win over McCain/Palin.

Golden Arches Safer Than Uncle Sam? http://seekingalpha.com/article/97571-g Word on the street is that the credit risk of the Golden Arches are better than Uncle Sam.  VS.  5 Year Credit Default Swaps on McDonald’s Corp are trading at 24 to 29bp while US Credit Default Swaps are trading 30bp. This means that it is more expensive to buy protection against a default of the US government than a bankruptcy of Mickey D. Tags: shmeconomy |

FDIC May Need $150 Billion Bailout It won't take many more failures before the FDIC itself runs out of money. The agency had $45.2 billion in its coffers as of June 30, far short of the $200 billion Whalen says it will need to pay claims by the end of next year. ... A federal takeover of Washington Mutual, which has assets of $310 billion, could cost taxpayers $24 billion more, according to Richard Bove, an analyst at Miami-based Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. WaMu failed today (see my previous post). So after this FDIC will have half the money it had... Tags: shmeconomy |
