That's pretty awesome.  Is there any way to get the old ones or am I too little too late?

I'm going to post all 57 pages in the documents section (from front page) this weekend, if I have time.  Otherwise, right after the 1st of the month.

Wow. That is awesome. I just re-read my copy of MSY and made my roommate read it last week. Good times. Good times.

I'm gonna drop box the whole thing, and maybe put it in the docs section here.

Not sure if I even reading comprehension

The framework is already set:

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem had last month warned the U.S. against carrying out airstrikes on Syrian territory without Damascus' consent, saying any such attack would be considered an aggression.

Hadi Bahra, chief of the Syrian National Coalition opposition group, said mainstream Syrian rebels desperately need the kind of support that would enable them to form a reliable and well-equipped force to fight the extremists.

"Today, we are one step closer to achieving that goal," he said.

He said the Syrian Coalition "stands ready and willing to partner with the international community," not only to defeat the extremists, but also "to rid the Syrian people of the tyranny of the Assad regime."

I think that at least part of the reason it was a big televised speech is because he has been under so much pressure to do something.  Pretty much every time something happened the news would blow up with "right wing nutjob blasts Obama on ISIS" or "left wing nutjob blasts Obama on ISIS".  Coupled with his recent goofs of saying "yeah we're gonna crush them" then later in the same talk "I just want to make them a managable problem", as well as a week or so ago when he made the mistake of admitting that his administration had no plans on how to handle the ISIS situation, and I'd say it was probably a pretty good idea to get the word out that he actually is doing something about this, rather than just golfing as everyone would have you believe.

[funding groups who are both against ISIS and Assad]

Obomba's presidential address:

• more airstrikes
• international coalition
• funding groups who are both against ISIS and Assad

I can kinda see the first two, but the third one never really seems to work out for us in the long run. 

But we'll use this group and maybe they'll take out ISIS for us.
And when they're done, if they still have enough funding and firepower (they will),  they'll take out Assad.  That's just icing on the cake.
Next step: Iran

At least that's what I see.

Sounds legit.

There's also the new chromebook OS that came out.  It's surprisingly not bad, just lacking a few functionalities that are necessary for me, but probably not so big a deal for most people.  For example, it cannot open encrypted PDF's.  I feel like it could be a viable windows replacement with a few tweaks. Also, no viruses for it yet.  Oh and you have to be connected to the internet all the time, which kind of sucks.

Portmanteau of the week

question... Are you going to be doing a live steam of you playing, or recording yourself and uploading to the internets?

Reason i ask is because if you're uploading, people can just skip chunks they don't want to watch, so it's not really a big deal.

Live steam, otoh, everyone would have to watch you spend a whole day skinning a deer, but that isn't really too much different from watching you wander back and forth through town all day, trying to buy all the salt and mead you can and then carrying it back to make venison chops for your next adventure, right?

Careful, I hear that too much passive aggressive behavior can make your lips fall off.

I have a new unattainable dream job.

To be fair this is probably the most hostile book of the month club I've ever seen.

Hope everything works out for you man, good luck.

Also Maine to Washington is one helluva move.

What are some differences between American meatloaf and other countries' meatloaf?

Maybe I'm a little biased because I've always found meatloaf to be kind of plain, but a lot ofother countries stuff their meatloaf with boiled eggs or weinerwurst or other such things.  It's also wrapped in ham and cheese in some places.  It kind of changes from country to country what the meatloaf standard is.

Are you sure you aren't just comparing your mother's meatloaf to meatloaf you've had other places? The boiled egg thing sounds disgusting (so does weinerwurst, for that matter) but I've seen it wrapped in bacon and ham. No cheese though... I'm not really sure how you would bake it with cheese around it. I've seen recipes with shredded cheese IN the meatloaf, though, as well as various other things.

Every meatloaf I've ever had in America is the beef +spices+onions+ketchup kind.  However, I don't really like that, so i don't meatloaf very often.

Wow that looks a lot better than my muffins  .
