Wouldn't be the fishing spot up by Corona off the 15 would it?

That's one of em I am sure, I'm talking about Irvine lake but heard all the spots in San Bernardino are pretty messed up as well. Think you are talking about Corona lake, haven't made it there yet.

Drove past it last week and the water was that brown color.

On a total downer note (sorry), I just took a sandwich to the Princess, who has an all-day practice at the school.
One of her friends is there, hanging out in the "commons" (area with tables and chairs right off the hallway).
This girl doesn't have any reason to be there.
It's just better to hang out in an empty school rather than her home, because of what her home is like.
Sometimes this world makes me cry.

Does "The Princess" get along with the young lady in question? Perhaps an afternoon together every once in awhile would be beneficial
My son knew a boy in grammar school like that. Great kid, once we got to know him. He practically lived here (came over just about every day afrter school to do their homework, hang out, have something to eat before heading home just to go to bed!)
That kid now is an honor student in high school and very popular,, NOT saying it's because of us, but not saying it didn;t help either

Nobel Peace Prize fail....
Francois Houtart, Belgian Activist Priest, Admits Sexual Abuse
A Belgian priest has confessed to a child sex-abuse accusation that came to light during a campaign to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work fighting globalization's impact on developing countries.
...
"Walking through the room of one of the family's boys, I effectively touched his intimate parts twice, which woke him up and frightened him," Houtart is quoted as saying.The committee in November ended its campaign to nominate Houtart for the 2011 Nobel Prize, saying the priest had requested its termination because "his age and his personal projects would not allow him to fully assume the role requested in such circumstances."

Actually, we are currently short of chocolate chip cookies because this last week we ate everything that isn't nailed down.
You should have seen the spread at my cousin's. Imagine a table that will easily sit two on a side, square. It was so full of food that to put out the desserts, we had to take the appetizers off. None of the actual dinner went there, because there was no room.
Not sure why we had appetizers, we arrived at 3 and ate at 4:30.

A few interesting pieces of trivia that came my way this morning:
It takes 7 seconds for food to pass from mouth to stomach. A human hair can hold 3kg. The length of a penis is 3 times the length of the thumb. The femur is as hard as concrete. A woman's heart beats faster then a man's. Women blink 2x as much as men. We use 300 muscles just to keep our balance when we stand. The woman has read this entire text. The man is still looking at his thumb.

Things I discovered today: worshipping Glenn Greenwald is considered mandatory by some on the left, despite Greenwald's long history of dishonest self-aggrandizing behavior.
Problem for me is that Greenwald personally smeared my reputation, over and over, with outright lies, attributing opinions to me that I did not express and never held, and never once even had the decency to acknowledge when his distortions were factually corrected.
He's a guy who uses sock puppet accounts to leave comments praising himself, and agreeing with his own points.
It's unfortunate that he's become popular on the left, but parting ways with the right wing does not mean I'm compelled to make nice with Glenn Greenwald, who I consider one of the most personally dishonest pundits on either side.

Odd note: Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah was in Shrek 3 (I didn't actually see the film).
This leads to the very odd fact that as my daughter listens to pandora disney (there is such a thing), the play list will look like this:
Hakunah Matata
Beauty and the Beast
Some song from Aladdin
Hallelujah
Give a Little Whistle
Cruella de Ville

I'm left and I don't particularly care for GG. I don't know many people in the real world who do either. I believe he is a part of the "professional left" and somewhat of a bully. He doesn't even live in the US. He lives in Brazil and I find it hard to believe he doesn't have more corruption and mistreatment of the poor to write about in his new adopted home. I can't wait to about read his righteous indignation when the Brazilians start bulldozing shanty towns in preparation for the 2012 Olympics.

I have to admit even I've questioned if the cartoons were worth it. It does seem they've inspired as much terrorist activity as anything else including the invasion of Iraq. However, I still feel that free speech is vitally important to free society. Free speech becomes even more important when it becomes dangerous.

Free speech is important, and I'll stand by it. There's no justification for the lunacy and violence the cartoons were met with.
I still think it was a rather petty and stupid idea to have a Mohammed cartoon event to begin with, and it hasn't grown on me just because doing so released a worldwide shitstorm.

re: #83 Charles
Things I discovered today: worshipping Glenn Greenwald is considered mandatory by some on the left, despite Greenwald's long history of dishonest self-aggrandizing behavior.
Problem for me is that Greenwald personally smeared my reputation, over and over, with outright lies, attributing opinions to me that I did not express and never held, and never once even had the decency to acknowledge when his distortions were factually corrected.
He's a guy who uses sock puppet accounts to leave comments praising himself, and agreeing with his own points.
It's unfortunate that he's become popular on the left, but parting ways with the right wing does not mean I'm compelled to make nice with Glenn Greenwald, who I consider one of the most personally dishonest pundits on either side.
Bolded for truth.

On a side note, Jyllands-Posten main editorial office is here in Viby, Jutland where i live (can see it from my window) and has comprehensive security measures. The jihadists probably went for the Copenhagen office for that reason, and for publicity.
More than likely... path of least resistance.

Best cure for all that is to sit in a room alone and sing songs from "Cabaret."
I already do that! Though your Cabaret may not be the same as mine

But how can you be sure its a Death Knight unless you go ask it?
Go tell the Kender that he's got loot on him?
We'll find out real quick.

re: #188 WindUpBird
I remember playing AD&D 2ed a bit as a kid, but by the time I was 13 or so and gaming a lot, it was all TMNT, Champions, and then later Vampire, Shadowrun, and really by then we were just homebrewing our own weird bullshit :D We went through a lot of Vampire players who wanted to do "drama-club" style role-playing as opposed to the "sit around the table and be detectives and solve the crazy mystery" sort f gaming we did :D
Played TMNT "After the Bomb" setting for a while. Our White Wolf games were usually down and dirty. I always had fun because amongst a group of Ventrue and Tremere, I played a Nosferatu.

I'd rather sit in a room alone drinking cabernet sauvignon... or a nice scotch... to each, their own.

I thought about that too but I don't think geography plays a role in this. The fact that this server raid was in Texas is probably just a coincidence.

After the Bomb was great fun! And yeah, if you played that and grungy vampire games (brujah industrial musician who lived in a junk filled lot and was being stalked by all manner of weremonsters he had pissed off over the years) we could get along :D

if half your group is bards, congratulations, you have a D&D garage band. That actually sounds like a riot as a campaign setting. On tour!

Well... those fact are correct. And I will be looking into a "character" to write about in Paris up coming... French songwriter/singer Serge Gainsbourg. He's my possible new target for a play. I'll know better after I get back if I think I have the right "hook" to develop something. So far, I get a weak internal reaction from him and his life... but I don't give up easily.

You could introduce a bard hating enemy to thin out their numbers. I'm thinking along the lines of a wraith version of Frank Rich. :D

You have no idea how much Ventrue hate a Nos with level 5 obfuscate and a penchant for sawed-off shotguns.
"SUPRISE BITCHES!"
Actually, I ran a Whitewolf campaign based on a clan of Nos and Bonegnawers, plus other assorted allies, taking on problems in Los Angeles for a while. We had a blast.

"The bard is a standard playable character class in many editions of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.[1] The bard class is versatile, capable of combat and of magic (Divine magic in earlier editions, arcane magic in later editions). Bards use their artistic talents to induce magical effects. The class is loosely based on the special magic that music holds in stories such as The Pied Piper of Hamelin, and in earlier versions was much more akin to being a Celtic priest or a Norse Skald, although these elements have largely been removed in later editions. Listed inspirations for bards include Taliesin, Homer, Will Scarlet and Alan-a-Dale."
