If Noah were in the United States today...
And the Lord spoke to Noah and said, "In one year, I am going to make it rain and cover the whole earth with water until all flesh is destroyed, but I want you to save the righteous people and two of every kind of living thing on earth. Therefore, I am commanding you to build an Ark."
In a flash of lightning, God delivered the specifications for an Ark.
In fear and trembling, Noah took the plans and agreed to build the ark. "Remember," said the Lord, "you must complete the Ark and bring everything aboard in one year.
Exactly one year later, fierce storm clouds covered the earth and all the seas of the earth went into a tumult. The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard weeping.
"Noah," he shouted. "Where is the Ark?"

How The Largest Ships Were Built......
I found this somewhere on a web surfing expedition...... as you look at the pictures
check out the puny little humans that are building theres things :)
"The Batillus class supertankers" are the largest vessels by gross tonnage ever built. There were 4 of them, each at 555,000 metric tons DWT, constructed by France in the 1970s. A gross tonnage of Batillus is 275,276 tons. Still, if considering fully-loaded displacement, the Batillus ships don’t hold the world’s record. They are edged out by the Seawise Giant ship that serves as an oil tanker. Still, the Batillus class ships are records for tankers (with the depth of 36 meters and full load draft of 28.5 meters), and, inside this post, you can see how these largest ships were built.

thousands of needy humans.
Montana Bear Tragedy ....
This is a very sad story about a bear...
Everybody should heed the warnings not to feed wildlife because they become dependent and don't forage for themselves any longer. It is such a tragedy to see what has been done to our country's wildlife.
The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect
U.S. wildlife.

Comment for the Win!!
Bear with me here, its worth it:
So the story goes that a camera lens falls out of the sky and hits a woman's home, smashing thru the roof and doing an estimated $4500.00 in damages. The story is weird in itself as to where the lens came from.
There is an airport and skydiving nearby to the area so that probably explains it.
That's not the interesting part, its the amount of the repair that gets the comments.
Here's the "STORY"...
Some of the comments were saying that the bill sounds really padded, but this is in Kalifornia and here we have the comment for the win!!
from JC who sounds like a real ball buster
"Engineering inspection 700.00
Plans 500.00
OSHA ladder permit 200.00
asbestos permit for testing the shingles 600.00
Abatement of the roof shingles 600.00
Building permit review fees 400.00
Building permit 400.00
Demolition permit 300.00
Barricade work-site per OSHA standards 400.00
Scaffolding permit per OSHA 300.00
Actual Demolition 100.00
Repair wood 200.00
Roofing permit 300.00
Repair roof 120.00
New screens 75.00
Paint 120.00
California workers comp for project 650.00
Liability insurance when the lawyers start fantasy suing 300.00
Clean up 50.00
Final inspection fee 250.00
Contractors 20% Profit and Overhead 800.00
She got a great deal, It should have cost her 6800.00 plus…..Someone must be cheating the system,, Send an Investigator in !!!!!"
scroll down thru the comments, these guys are even referenceing and busting on ATTACK WATCH.
you know that Obama is taking a hammering when the comments of a story like this are
mocking him!

Did anyone else get this email about Sentlove.to??
I kinda checked it out breifly. I'm not sure what to think yet?

The Feral Irishman,
My name is Chris Lyman and I am a die-hard political weenie. My grandmother was Undersecretary of the Air Force under the Carter administration (not bad for a woman in the 1970s!) and much of my formidable youth was spent arguing around a dinner table: left, right, and center. I watch two hours of political news each day and, well, it's clear: I have politics on the brain. :)
This is why I write to you today. One year ago, I co-founded a political/tech startup. The company is called SendLove.to and our goal is: real-time, social polling to improve the political discourse. See, the web has done a great job of giving the "little guy" a voice. But, it has done a lousy job of distilling those voices into actionable data for our politicians. They still rely on phone surveys!
So, my company has made this really cool, free plugin for publishers. It scans your articles for politicians and allows your readers to rate & discuss the people you write about. It also introduces them to older articles about the same people to drive up your engagement numbers. So, far so good! We are on about 350 sites including www.themoderatevoice.com. They have gone on record reporting saying that they see a 42% increase to time spent per article and a 71% increase to page views. The 2nd stat seems inflated, but I do not doubt the 1st one -- readers really like becoming engaged in the political process.
The plugin is gorgeous and I have included some screenies below. I really think it's a great fit for The Feral Irishman. What do you think?
Weird Geology.... not Mashed Potatoes
I was cruising the webs last night and came across a story about Devil's Tower. It is such an
amazing landmark and a very weird geological formation. So I used the google to read more
about it. It's pretty interesting to how they think it was "FORMED". ( and its wasn't mashed potatoes)
This is on my list of things to see someday.

After the Apocolypse.....
I know that we are going to need Ammo and Water and Food and Beer (hehehe)
but I'm starting to think that alot of people will be putting in a huge effort
to get the internets up and running again.
Not only to share pictures of funny cats and stupid videos, But to help "THIS" company get
their message out from their bunker.

It was one of those mornings....
I started going for my morning walks again this week. According to my pedometer I havent walked since July 6th- shame on me. I do enjoy the morning at 5:30 its such a peaceful time of day. There are only a few people out and a handful of cars pass by.
The beginning of the week I was more motivated than this morning. I kinda wanted to stay in bed and sleep a little more, maybe I should have hidden in my pillow:

Waiting for a Leader........well worth reading.
I have watched both debates so far and no-one in particular had given me
the feeling that they would make a GREAT President. I have reservations
about all the candidates and feel that it would be better served if they
all agreed to work together and take a position in the government
that focused on their strengths. I know that's a pipe dream, but
never the less it would make for a government that might actually
be able to accomplish what most of us want.
"TL asks some serious questions...."
TL starts:
If you are like me, you are waiting patiently (or impatiently) for a leader, a true leader. What we seek is someone, anyone who can galvanize the American spirit and bring to the fore the lost principles that in their absence have left America rudderless in this new age. We have been mis-lead for a long time, by all political parties, who in the end are not capable of leading a free nation.

What's in Your Ipod?
I just got back from a walk. According to my pedometer I havent been out since July 6th and I'm kicking myself in the ass for that. Back in the spring I was walking 6 days a week and sometimes twice aday. The usual time was 45 minutes to an hour. Anyway I havent listened to my ipod in 2 months so it was great to hear some of the songs on it.
I just sat down and here are the next ten random songs:
All Along the Watchtower...Jimi Hendricks
Wishing you were here.... Chicago
Hey Joe..Jimi Hendricks
Pay My Rent..David Gilmour
Below the Radar ..Particle
I won't be Home Tonight .. Tony Carey
Where is My Love... Blackfeild
Save a Prayer ...Duran Duran
Free.... Vast
So Far Away... Carole King

The Falling Man....
Do you remember this photograph? In the United States, people have taken pains to banish it from the record of September 11, 2001. The story behind it, though, and the search for the man pictured in it, are our most intimate connection to the horror of that day.
I read the start to this story "HERE" at Ace's
Then follow the links to "ESQUIRE" for a very good article written back in 2009
And from 2 days ago..the epilogue story in "ESQUIRE"
I keep coming back to the thought of ...MY GOD.. how horrible and desperate the situation must
have been to be forced to choose jumping and free falling to your death vs. being suffocated or burned to
death in the building. My thoughts also go to the many brave rescuers that ran TO the buildings and started
climbing the stairs knowing that they were probably going to their deaths.
Sad Sad Day... even 10 Years later.
Many many others also chose to jump as well:

SO I will let the professionals handle it. These are some of the posts I have read this morning that I feel should be passed on and shared with others. Go read them, I agree with what they say.

"AMERICAN AND PROUD"
"TO OLD TO WORK"
"MAROONED"
and I made Bacon on the grill to snack on while I read these......
