brief update:
Still slaving away at work... No huge fires today, so I can actually breathe for a change. Also, they about made me passout yesterday afternoon... they scheduled a meeting to ask about to possibliity of getting some specific data, which usually means like yesterday... this is something they are thinking about doing a month down the road. Nearly fell off my chair when I realized they were planning ahead for a change.
-- Cheese: Monterrey Jack is curing now (2 more weeks). I'm about done with the Feta. holy cow it was good, complicated to make, but alot easier to cure (cures in a jar of salt water in the fridge).
that's about all.

Take an old cat, say 17 years old or so, who is VERY set in his ways
Add one brand new Roomba Robotic Vacuum.
Sit back and watch Cat stalks behind roomba, roomba suddenly changes directions, cat sets new personal best vertical leap record getting out of the way.
I was TRYING to do WiiFit yoga stuff at the time. Those exercises get ALOT harder when you're laughing hysterically.

I forgot to pile all the ingredients up ahead of time this time around, so we'll have to give you more hints (actually the ingredients would have been a dead give-away anyway.)

As Christmas comes and goes, I want to wish each an every one of you happy holidays.
Hopefully at some time during this holiday season you've found time to spend with friends and family, relax a bit, perhaps recharge the batteries, feast on good food and better company and so on.
Happy holidays, hopefully the coming year will be fruitful in your house.
Wishing you peace, good food, and relaxation, Rob

BCS declares Germany winner of WWII Fri, 5 Dec 2008 10:57:00 -0600
After determining the Big-12 championship game participants, the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.
"Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."
Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories-- Japan and Germany . The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."
German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said "Yes, we lost to the US ; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany 's rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."
The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented " France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."
Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines .

The last election that the Republicans won the white house, where the ticket didn't include either Nixon or a Bush...
1928 Hoover(and Curtis) defeated the democrat Alfred E Smith in a landslide.

So, all the "biggest turn-out in 2 generations" hubub got to me. I got up early, cleared my early issues and sent relevant emails, showered, got dressed and headed to my polling site prepared to stand in line as needed.
There were a total of 5 people at my site. and three of them were working.
I was at work nearly an hour earlier than normal. heh.

Lee Corso Predicted it... (and shocked the hell out of his set mates when he fired the shotguns on the set!)

It was a wild game. absolutely noone that watched it can claim that it wasn't exciting... I mean with 6 minutes left Herbstreet was already claiming that it was an Instant Classic for ESPN Classic... and then it got really exciting.
Yes, I realize that Tech could have lost on 2 different dropped int's. But they didn't. UT failed to capitolize on those mistakes, and it cost them. But I'm pretty sure that people learned that Tech isnt the crappy 1/2 a team they have been for years. I also think that 4 of the top 6 teams in football are in the big 12 south. (and tech still has to play the other 2).
This man showed that he truely is the best receiver in college football:
 I mean... who else would think to position the logo for the camera as you fight off a defender to make it into the end zone with a single second to spare???

This man upped his stakes alot too. unfortunately Crabree is so good, that he's gonna lose votes for the heisman. tebow will probably win again(ick).

update: oh yeah, the #2 in the nation Red Raiders (AP)
