I have this one checked out and on the kitchen counter!

Thats a fun book you will enjoy it and it is all absolutely 100% true.

 

[tapu]

I think it shows that he is still interested in horror and murder and very likely is still dangerous.

How about a sexual predator reading Nabakov's Lolita while awaiting trial? Not a problem?

No, not a problem. I'm pretty caught up in the integrity of my belief system though....

This is a particularly good book here:


Dark alliance : the CIA, the Contras, and the crack cocaine explosion by Gary Webb


From WIKI:

On December 10, 2004, he was found dead from two gunshot wounds to the head.[20] Sacramento County coroner Robert Lyons determined that it was suicide..

Thats right my friends TWO GUNSHOTS to the head called a SUICIDE LOL now how do you pull that one off?? Two shots is impossible to be a suicide, Webb was silenced after he broke the story of Iran Contras guns and drugs running by US alphabet soup agencies.

Webb was best known for his 1996 "Dark Alliance" series of articles written for the San Jose Mercury News and later published as a book. In the three-part series, Webb investigated Nicaraguans linked to the CIA-backed Contras who had allegedly smuggled cocaine into the U.S.. The smuggled cocaine was then distributed as crack cocaine in Los Angeles, with the resultant profits funneled back to the Contras. Webb also alleged that this influx of Nicaraguan-supplied cocaine sparked, and significantly fueled, the widespread crack cocaine epidemic that swept through many U.S. cities during the 1980s. According to Webb, the CIA was aware of the cocaine transactions and the large shipments of drugs into the U.S. by Contra personnel. Webb charged that the Reagan administration shielded inner-city drug dealers from prosecution in order to raise money for the Contras, especially after Congress passed the Boland Amendment, which prohibited direct Contra funding.

Webb's reporting generated fierce controversy, and the Mercury News backed away from the story, effectively ending Webb's career as a mainstream media journalist. In 2004, Webb was found dead from two gunshot wounds to the head, which the coroner's office judged a suicide. Since Webb's death, both the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune have defended his "Dark Alliance" series.

Shucks mister but that's not me...it's the celeb I'm often told I look like. I was hoping that you all would play that game with me.

Anyhoo, I WANT TO KNOW about PROXY IPs...do I just Google it?

Okay. For me, it's always been Johnny Depp.

 

[tapu]

Waaaaaawaaaaaaaawaaaaaaaaaa...well so much for a nap LOL.

Pax, here's a tip, from a really good baby mama, even if I have to say so myself: Do not sit and watch cartoons with him. Instead, get up and dance in a gentle, rhythmic way. Jog in place, lightly, even. (I did that a lot.) Do that for a little while and he'll get the nods. You can even dance and jog while you yourself watch tv. But it's the repetitive motion--like, hey!, rocking, oh yeah!--that puts them down. TV stimulation is the worst.

My opinion, only, by me--but I know, and you should listen to me.

Anyone have a little program (or a link to one) that can resize a .gif for an avatar? I've used one site for years, and it just doesn't work for me anymore! If so, please PM me ... thanks!

I use GIMP and its free. Does most of what Photoshop does...

http://www.gimp.org/

If you only want to reduce an image online to make an avatar, there are many services that do this. Google "resize an image online" or try: http://www.resizeyourimage.com/

 

[dangrsmind]

Do you know how to use PROXY IPs, its one way to get past those work blocks if they do end up blocking WS. I am sure you will be ok but I would sure miss you!

Like that new avatar ZIGSTER, so many pretty ladies here!

I'm actually going to contradict you here Pax...

I strongly advise against using a proxy to avoid a firewall or web blocking at work. Depending on how sophisticated your IT department is, they very likely will detect this and there is no valid explanation other than you were trying to evade the filters they have in place. People have been fired simply for doing this.

I agree, but if you are too tired for those tricks putting the bassinet (or whatever) on top of the dyer works too.

All excellent choices, if Sam were to actually apply himself and read these books he would certainly learn a lot about himself and his place in the world in relation to others around him.

Also we cant overlook The Catcher In The Rye, I think that is one of the most important reads for a kid his age.

If he wanted something fun and more dramatic he could always go with Alas, Babylon, a terrific book about life after nuclear holocaust.


Its good to see so many readers here with such good classical taste!

Am I the only person that didn't like Catcher in the Rye? No my wife didn't like it either.

Oh thats likely true and I have never worked in a place like that so I am not even remotely familiar with how that works. I use one from home, but I think you make a good point and those who do intend to use one at work should certainly DYODD. I dont want to see anyone fire because of my ignorance of how the corporate world office place works, I really have no clue about all of that and was only trying to explain what a proxy is.

That is exactly how emmy does it too, when its my duty to stay up all night he and I usually sit in the rocking chair and he falls asleep pretty quickly but last night for some reason he was really cranky and just didnt want to sleep for some reason, the good news is he is passed out now and its 8am and Em and I have a nice peaceful morning.


Overall he has been a great kid and no problems at all.

You lazy-*advertiser censored* men! Hee hee.

Wasn't trying to pillory you Pax, just something I've seen happen.

The thing is that many companies have problems with people that don't do any work and sit on Facebook and MySpace chatting all day. So they often block the service instead of directly dealing with the individuals that have problems. In some cases there are worse issues such as people downloading *advertiser censored* or hate materials at work.

At large corporations, it is very likely that popular proxy sites will also be blocked anyway. If not they can still monitor and analyze your traffic whenever they feel like it. Also, if a company blocks certain websites they often also have a written web use policy. If you violate that policy you can be fired. Depending on the company they can be pretty strict about enforcing these web browsing policies.

The best solution if money is not an object is a smart phone. That way your web browsing traffic doesn't pass through the corporate network, they can't monitor it, and the only risk is that you are seen messing with your phone all the time.

Be careful and don't get fired!

You lazy-*advertiser censored* men! Hee hee.

I've been called many things, but lazy isn't one of them.

I used to do this when my first son was up at night and I'd sleep on the floor next to the dryer.

Oh I know bro, I am glad you said what you did because you are correct and it wasnt something I had even given thought to. So it needed to be said as we dont want anyone getting fired who may not be aware of what lurks behind their IT dept. door.
