MooPig Appreciating Art Nano-second :: "Daily Duty"

State-of-the-Art
Re-directed Martial Articles by Pat Darnell |  Jan 18, 2014  |  Bryan TX

Sitting and shitting may be the only thing humanity shares universally with each human doing his own daily bid'ness. Yes, this article could be under MooPig's Department of Scatology, but it is art work of a daily duty shared by all. Have a look.

Artist Paints World Leaders on the Toilet… | artFido's Blog: "Just when you thought you’d seen it all, Italian artist Cristina Guggeri comes along and blows it out of the water with her latest series called Il Dovere Quotidiano, or “The Daily Duty”. In this series, Guggeri sets out to ‘humanize’ the world’s leaders by imaging what they might look like on the toilet."

CONCLUSION
Everything has been already done in art, architecture, and life in general.

Depend on MooPig to keep you informed. We will be monitoring all forms of excrement through out the world, and maybe make some charts up, and possibly mash a bunch of articles together to help you in your scatological pursuits. Remember -- we at MooPig will always be better than FOX News! Don't want to set the barre too high now.

EPILOGUE
Things we still want to know:

• Has Bill Gates entered the stage where he locks himself in a Hotel room and doesn't bathe?
• What became of the Westboro Baptist Church media whores?
• Does Jose still work for Kennedy Underground Utilities Company? His job was to find water, no matter where he was.
• If I put Erika Eleniak's picture on this post, will it become a number one in page-views post?
• Why do networks pixel-ate out sponsors on UFC fighters' shorts and shirts when they show reruns of their fights?
• Why does my foot shake when I type? Is that restless leg syndrome? I am, after all, almost 60.

MooPig Narcissus Department :: "Who Would Win in a Cage Match #2.1"

Submitted by Pat Darnell  |  June 29, 2013  |  Bryan TX

Ben Bernanke 

-- vs --

Joseph Stalin

Faced with international crisis management decisions, both these narcissistic, poisonous, bunch-back'd toads will have been responsible for making policies that kill millions of people worldwide.


What might they do faced with one-on-one survival in the octagon cage of today? I would like to see this one, if only.


Joseph Stalin Biography - Facts, Birthday, Life Story - Biography.com: "Born on December 18, 1879, in Gori, Georgia, Joseph Stalin rose to power as General Secretary of the Communist Party, becoming a Soviet dictator upon Vladimir Lenin's death. Stalin forced rapid industrialization and the collectivization of agricultural land, resulting in millions dying from famine while others were sent to camps. His Red Army helped defeat Nazi Germany during WWII."

But what exactly does the Fed do? Chairman Bernanke explains what the Fed actually does and explains his job too.

The Federal Reserve System, often referred to as the Federal Reserve or simply "the Fed," is the central bank of the United States. It was created by the Congress to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. The Federal Reserve was created on December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law.

MooPig Tech Coroner :: "3-D Printing"

I think I need a New Telephone -- Oh, I'll just Print One!

Procured by Pat Darnell  |  Apr 3, 2013  |  Bryan TX

Technology Revolution: Part 1 | Punk Rock Libertarians:
"I am talking about 3D printing.

 ' ... Excuse me for sounding like 3D printing gives me such a Large Hadron Collider in my pants, but it does. While doing the research for this article I was anywhere from half-staffed to fully erect. Maybe that is an exaggeration, but my brain definitely had a hard on for what I was reading. I honestly believe that most of the world’s problems can be solved by 3D printing on a massive scale."

'via Blog this'

What industries will be eliminated by this revolution? Paper or plastic cups, plates and sporks ...
No not only; review spare parts for auto's, or a tune up kit for your V-8 ... how about point repair for under ground sewer or supply pipes, that have burst or broken?

All you will need is a three-D drawing of the object, entered into your onsite 3-d printer, presto magnifico, here is your part.

Old appliances will not become obsolete because of original parts, or proprietary parts that are too difficult to re-manufacture. Just print the part from a drawing, and plug it into your old toaster, typewriter, Dyson vacuum cleaner, or any old thing-a-ma-jig.

The featured article here from punkrocklibertarians focuses on parts for guns. Yes even guns will be 3-D printed.

All industries will pick up on money saving, or money making, ideas for themselves using 3-D printing.

Navy SEAL Author Rejects the Pentagon's Legal Threat - Politics - The Atlantic Wire:

EXCERPT  |   ""Mr. Owen sought legal advice about his responsibilities before agreeing to publish his book and scrupulously reviewed the work to ensure that it did not disclose any material that would breach his agreements or put his former comrades at risk," wrote Robert D. Luskin, an attorney at D.C. lobbying behemoth Patton Boggs. "Mr. Owen is proud of his service and respectful of his obligations. But he has earned the right to tell his story."" (JOHN HUDSON. AUG 31, 2012. HERE)

'via Blog this'

In a printing shop is the Bindery Department. The pages have been typeset, stripped to film, and plated in the Plate Room. The Press Room prints the pages on large paper. In the Bindery the pages are cut to size and collated into lifts. The lifts of pages then go through several steps of gluing, sewing, and binding. Then the cover is pressed on the "book," in the Bindery.

The point is that during any of these stages the book can be read. Especially from the very start when it is typeset and put on film, can it be read several times by the laymen workers, journeymen, and print bosses, even the janitor reads it.

It mystifies MooPig when it reads a story that implies lawyers issuing a cease or desist publishing a book to anyone ... what exactly is the point? The deed is already done, it's ancient history, it's moot, you jackals.

EXCERPT from the Article | " ...According to the letter, the nondisclosure agreement signed by Bissonnette when he was a SEAL only applied to "specially identified Special Access Programs" and not missions such as the May 1, 2011 raid.

That's an argument that may come as a surprise to some legal experts, who considered the Pentagon's case against Bissonnette a "slam dunk" given his failure to submit his book for pre-publication review. ... "

Pre-publication review -- are they daft? Most authors today are self-published. One can easily write a 365 page book on the Internet, and upload it all over the world. What in God's green earth is a pre-publication review?

It is an HONOR system ... but all persons define HONOR differently, and that is why this sucks.

EXCERPT | " ...Last night, [Aug 28, 2012] the public got its first taste of the book's contents as the Associated Press and The Huffington Post obtained pre-release copies of it. (JOHN HUDSON. AUG 29, 2012. HERE)... "

When a buck is to be made, well, it seems that brings out the money grubbers. And the more they try to BAN this book by Bissonette, the greater it will profit the author out here in the markets. Yes, negative press is just as good, if not better than, approved press releases. The story is as old as the Torah.

I can just see Carl Marx submitting his little book for a pre-publication review.

But MooPig Fact-Checker Department holds this conjecture as the real reason the administration would try to hide this book from the public:

EXCERPT | " ...Bissonnette [aka Mark Owen] is also critical of President Obama in his story, saying that no one on the team was a fan of the president and that they believed he and other leaders would inflate their own roles in the story. Even before the raid began, the SEALs joked about how they would help Obama get re-elected and also speculated about who would play them in the Hollywood movie. Despite their personal feelings about Obama, however, the SEALs did agree that he made the right call, saying "Although we applauded the decision-making in this case, there was no doubt in anybody’s mind that he would take all the political credit for this too.”(DASHIELL BENNETT. AUG 29, 2012. HERE)... "

Poop Snow on an Ancient Burial Ground: This Can't End Well:

'via Blog this'

When I lived in Houston, in the 70's, I worked with a boss who was born and raised in Wisconsin. He told us stories about snowy weather. One day he mentioned his job at home was to take out the garbage for his mom. So all winter he took the bags of waste out by the garage and threw them in the snow. They got buried there, instead of collected like usual. When the snow thawed, "garbage-geddon."

[Picture LINK]

Winter around the corner; you have your snow skis out and dusted off. There is one thing you should know. If you are going to Flagstaff's Arizona Snowbowl Ski Resort be sure to bring your anti-fungal creams and ointments.

"... [B]y expanding onto 74 acres of sacred land in the San Francisco Peaks and manufacturing 100 percent of its snow from sewage....": Yes that is right, correct, reported HERE.

I wonder what would happen if the same thing were to happen at a ski resort in Utah. You know that ancestor thing is huge there amongst Mormon LDS. Piling human waste all over the burial sites of groups is one thing; having your family fall and scrape themselves in the frozen effluence of sewage is another thing. I don't think the living or the dead are going to like this very much.

This is fracked in so many ways: the entire ski slope is "made entirely from repurposed poop." And, also, the U.S. Forest Service says the "crap water is just fine, grading its quality just below that of drinking water." Isn't this "disrespecting Native Americans' traditions, while also harming the environment and polluting aquifers?" (Horn, Leslie. Sep 27, 2012. HERE)

Response to Pribek dot Net [again]

So, you are saying al Queda is a mercenary group: they work for the highest bidder. They are like ready men who ride on buses through the picket lines at factories, when the local has a strike. I get it. Nicely done. Scabs.

But I did not know you cared.

Meanwhile:
Corporate strategists in USA usually write a “Five Year Plan” that comes due fast and they end up hiring mercenaries in the end when the plan does not congeal … or is failing to bear fruit.

China Bureau Chiefs, on the other hand, make “Fifty Year Plans” that you can trace right this very minute back to the 1960′s — a plan that has come due and “is” bearing FRUIT. *[China and kin have billions of population who are treated like immigrants in their own country, is how they accomplish this] But we — including Europe, East Europe, Russia, and Mid-East — haven’t got what it takes to undermine them in any capacity. That is why it feels like a conspiracy… I hate to invoke Nixon, but he was accurate.

How does that relate to al Queda turn about? Well, those clowns make us into fools by their playing dumb. “Can’t anyone in this whole world see the truth?” — I think that is what you are reporting, God love ya’.

However, “turn about” is still “fair play.” Call it Divine Punishment which is what the al Queda’s preaching … it is a perfect ruse — or venue — for turn about, no?

First, one plays like he prays four times a day at the call of some lonesome cowboy crooning from a tower; invoking the great and terrible “unknown.” Second, you corral your women and children, and make them fearful of everything. Third, you steal everything that isn’t tied down. Fourth, you invent an enemy. Fifth, you dump everything you stole on your enemy.

It makes for a lot of dust. Smoke screens for the witless lawmakers, and whiny business people: when the only issue to tackle right now is how to help China start and accomplish its newest fifty year plan.

Feed the Cow

It has been reported "... A man wearing a Bob Dylan [an Upstart Poet] backstage pass orders $3,900's worth of pizzas in an Amherst, Mass., restaurant and then never comes back. (CBS/AP) ..."

(CBS) A man wearing a backstage pass to a Bob Dylan concert showed up at a famous Amherst, Mass., pizza parlor in the wee hours of Saturday morning shortly after the music legend put on a concert nearby and ordered 178 pizzas, according to local reports.

The problem? He never came back.

Sean McElligott, manager of Antonio’s pizzeria on North Pleasant Street said the business was “too trusting” when it agreed to fill the man's order, reports The Republican, a daily newspaper.

McElligott said the man was in his 40s and asked if the restaurant could help feed the crew. The manager then offered to drive the pizzas to the Mullins Center, but the man never returned.

The final bill for the pizzas was $3,900, and the crew stayed up until 5:30 a.m. making them while looking forward to the promised big tip, reports the Associated Press.

While some pizzas were given away, many were tossed, the AP reports.

On Wednesday, Police said believe they have identified the man who placed the order, allegedly for a Mullins Center concert crew, reports the Daily Hampshire Gazette. (SOURCE)

Is it possible the man said "Feed the Cow" instead of  "Feed the Crew?" ... Dylan must've said "Don' wan' no pizza, man..."

The Best Defense is still a Great Offense

While we're on the Subject, Rumor has it:
for Ed Porpoises

A professional football team has installed secret IR, infrared, spectrum cameras on their light posts at home. The high definition, motorized 180 degree half spherical relay system is all wired in fiber-optics. That makes it almost undetectable...

What does it do? You may ask ... Spotters get read outs on HD Screens on the defensive line-men, linebackers, corner backs and safety's, on the opposing team. These heat signatures tell the home team who is winded, or overheated or laboring to catch one's breath. That info is radio'ed down to coaches who call the plays for the home team Offense.

During long breaks from play, like in a TIVO replay... it is crucial to call a play that will make the first down. This is when the IFR Screening really helps out. All the dawdling on the field after the coach throws the red flag out of his shoe, really messes with offensive strategy.

Who's fresh and who isn't takes the guess work out of the Offense's forward progress. Teams averaging 400 to 500 yards Offense per game are suspect. Teams that go undefeated also might have latched onto this high tech laser tag spectral analysis. We don't know yet how they take the system on the road for away games ... hmmm?

Can I call you Lily? Such a pretty name. So, okay ... no ... all rightee then, Dr Asquith; is sub-atomic really the way to go?

Apparently almost the entire collective of scientists world wide has agreed upon going sub-atomic. "The emergence of the sub-atomic will explain many of the mysteries of the universe."

It turns out scientists want to hear the data as it crunches away ... thanks to Dr Lily Asquith ... “If the energy is close to you, you will hear a low pitch and if it's further away you hear a higher pitch,” The BBC quoted her, as saying. ... " say no more Dr Asquith, ... Jeeeezzus!

The LHC is described thusly:

London, Feb 10 (ANI): CERN has announced that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will begin collisions in late October and will run through the winter period with only a brief break at Christmas.

The LHC, the biggest atom-smashing machine ever built, straddles the borders of France and Switzerland and is operated by CERN, the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva.

It is designed to simulate the “Big Bang”, which started the universe 15 billion years ago, by smashing sub-atomic particles together at energies never before achieved.

In the accident in September, a weld between two sections of the superconducting wire failed. To fix the welds, the other sectors of the machine must be warmed up, and that means that liquid helium must either be shunted around the ring or put into storage. (ANI)

TAX Refund -- Fun in the Sum; but not for All

TAXES :: Tracking down your tax refund
By Kay Bell • Bankrate.com

TAX TIP No. 38

You're getting a tax refund, so you filed early. So where's your check?
Well, you can stop bugging your mail carrier. There are more productive ways to track down your Internal Revenue Service cash.
Now you can go online or call a special toll-free number to check your refund status, regardless of whether you're awaiting a check in the mail or you've instructed the IRS to directly deposit your tax cash into one or multiple accounts.

The waiting game
Since 2003, taxpayers have been able to use the IRS' "Where's My Refund?" Web page to track down refunds directly from their own computers.
But exactly when you need this service depends on how you filed your return. Processing times differ for paper and electronically filed 1040s. How you ask the IRS to send you your money also makes a difference.

If you e-file and request direct deposit, the IRS says it should take no longer than three weeks for you to get your refund. If you filed a paper return and asked that your check be mailed to you, it could take up to eight weeks.

Once you're past the time frame for issuance of your refund, it's time to log on and locate your money.

In this tax tip:

The waiting game.

• Necessary tracking data.
• Dialing for tax dollars.
• What's the holdup?
• Speeding up the process.
• What if it's lost?
• And if the check is wrong?
• Check your bank account.
• Necessary tracking data

To get started, you'll need your Social Security number, the filing status entered on your return and the amount you're expecting. Joint-return filers should enter the name and tax ID number of the spouse shown first on the return.
And don't do any rounding on the refund amount entry. The tracking program wants precise dollars and cents.

If you have any questions about exactly what information the IRS wants here, the "Where's My Refund?" program has links that will open up new screens with explanations of where you can find the information on your copy of your return.

After you've entered the necessary data, then click and wait for the good news that your check is in the mail.

Dialing for tax dollars
If you don't have access to a computer or simply prefer using a telephone, you still can call the IRS to track down your refund.
A special automated toll-free line is dedicated to refund status reports. When you call (800) 829-1954, you'll need the same information the online system requires.

In addition to having a copy of your return on hand, it's always a good idea to have paper and pen ready to jot down any information, additional instructions or follow-up phone numbers that you might receive during the call.

And, as with the online system, don't call unless it's been the requisite number of weeks for your filing method.

What's the holdup?

In most cases, the IRS says a taxpayer will learn via the Web site or by phone that his or her return was received and is being processed.
When the tax check is indeed in the mail, the tracking systems will provide the date it was sent out or directly deposited to the filer's chosen account.

But even when the news is bad, the online program might be able to offer some immediate help. If, for example, the U.S. Postal Service bounced your refund check back to the IRS as undeliverable, the IRS online tracker now allows some taxpayers to correct or change their mailing addresses online so they can get their refunds ASAP.


If this option is available in your case, "Where's My Refund?" will prompt you to take the appropriate steps.

OXYMORON"s: Architecture in Bryan Texas

SNOBBERY in the Valley
by Pat Darnell and Foxy Foe Faux's

Okay, anything I would say is an example of the most hideous nature. Criticizing of other person's domicile is really eat up. I wouldn't want to be shown how my Home on Parade might be lacking or sagging, or eating up non-renewing energy... right?

It turns out, much still could be said that might not make me a snotty nosed hypocrit. For instance, I very much like variety of faces on the street where I live. Apprsisals in a community however are lowered if there is no repeating architectural elements, observed lot line set-backs, or height limits observed.

Therefore, the little socialist components mixed with rugged individualist commentary is going to be the best sort of critique... no? Here following are MooPigs' Axioms of Criticism for Architectural Descriptions under these headings:

• Soldiers live in barracks
• Post Modern Storefront Architecture
• Pocket Architecture
• Rise of the Pre-fabricated Steel Building
• Rugged Individualisms

MooPig Wisdom: 1500 Questionable Posts Benchmark: Maturing Organism FAQ

1500 and Keepin' it Mature in the Middle
by Pat Darnell and the C-club at MooPig Enterprises
Edited and fixed today 11.23.2009


Soon MooPig Wisdom will have accomplished submittal of 1500 posts in its blog. We celebrated our 1000th postings with great joy amidst our staffers and friends.

F.A.Q.

Introduction
MooPig Wisdom is a source of a sort'a thread of continuum we call the "Maturing Organism." Gretchen, someone, in 1976-ish, my fellow student at Trinity University, came up with that name. We worked with another student, Carol someone, as a trio team for Design class term paper. It was to be about organic architecture ideals identified by Frank Lloyd Wright.

That thread of continuum,  it turns out, is like a strand in a spider web. You should understand that Frank Lloyd Wright, FLW, as a student himself and intern of drunken genius, Louis Sullivan, had absorbed "the Masters" concepts of building materials, craftsmanship, and need of a building design to fit in its surroundings.

FLW perfected some of the malaise of Louis S, and stretched his ideas out like a strand off a central web, to his continuum identify Organic Architecture. Gretchen at some point called our efforts The Maturing Organism, or did Carol say it first? Can't remember obviously. I cannot take credit for the term project's name, however in its continuum context I have become MooPig da' Furst. Oh, I see, you say it is more a step back. Well, sometimes that is necessary too.

Lack of time, money and technology in 1976 kept Carol, Gretchen and I from getting as far along with our special project as hoped ...  [!! ... does that surprise anyone ...?]  ... and we had to drop it in our professore's lap with trepidation. In my awkward way, I suppose I said to self, "Self, someday we will finish that project."
Professore thought it was a great project, saying, "Did you learn?" Prof Patton gave us "A's" which I am sure was due to me having attractive female bookends.

Questions?

Why the name MooPig: That's easy ... We are what we eat.

What is the MooPig Wisdom mission: Besides thread of continuum thingy... we are a shadow blog of brilliant writers who have found this blogging venue to be something of a testing ground, or, staging area; Public Venue of Internet that is. MooPig can only search out a tiny smidgeon of the trillions of morsels for its own image writers, but so what?

What category, or brand, of blogging does MooPig have: When a bull reaches a certain age, he is sort of a drone. It has nothing to do with ability to sire, because there is Viagra for Bulls too, but his dynamic and DNA has run a course that nature dictates decommissioning our herds large big dumb patriarchal animal.

So, at that point, most ranchers seek a young bull to run on their ranges with the herd. Unfortunately old does not mix with young. Old bull has to go. He goes the way of Geronimo, Sitting Bull, and the buffalo, and passes on to happy foraging grounds...

What are you talking about .. !! :  Okay, okay ... let's just say MooPig_W* is not trying to find a short term answer for a long term problem... eh?

*[That's pronounced 'MOO_PIG_ Ya' ... like our patron saint, 'DUB_ Ya']*

Previous question:  Okay. Middle Ground Lampoon errrr ... Parody, Humor-that-probably-ain't funny to most, and rusty nails ... rotten lumber and ... uh, and Organics !! How's that? We enjoy letting our tenable off campus resident Songwriter\Musician Recording Artist, Pribek.net  , and his gang of curmudgeons, handle all the advertising, and, vendor, brand and commercial accounting. Good luck finding him ...

What does Pribek look like: No one really knows. Have you ever seen Sasquatch? Well, we haven't seen Pribek ever either. But he\she\it periodically sends us messages and charts like these --

What is the Report from the Middle: That my friends is a feature that is lacking throughout the entire United States. What are you laughing at?

Our culture, or lack thereof, culturelessness, thinks everything in USA happens on our Pacific and Atlantic coasts. We disagree. Middle America has all the chops and sirloin. You want ethanol? We have the corn.

For an excellent example of the candle MooPig supposes to keep burning for Mid-America, a good comparative production for someone to listen to would be "A Prairie Home Companion" radio series. And, there is a movie out now by the same name starring Garrison Keeler one can watch. That would help answer this question. That was all pre-Internet live radio shows. That is our continuum contribution as in the charm and appeal of radio carried forward into the 21st century using Internet Tech. Ca'pici?

What is your main source of benchmark capital: ... Er .. Say what ?

Just how many MooPig-sters are there:  ... Three, I think, no we lost one. It's Two.

What price today does MooPig Wisdom pay to keep its central tenet alive for tomorrow:  ... what's that word? Tenet.  I have to look that one up ... one moment. I'll get back to you on that one. ... Yes! We are tenacious, right on !!

How do you protect your copy here at MooPig Enterprises: Uh, lately we have been laying down a line of suppression fire. Also, it turns out, we are thinking of contacting ATF and FDA, NRA and Wildlife Management about using our blog site to sell warrants and tags, and also maybe approve 15% of the Gov.sombitch.com shadow activities by State ID's for all of the USA through our explicit blog sites, MooPig Wisdom, MooPig Paint, and Italian Woman in Texas ... Pat's Kick Ass Truckers' Home, and others.

Soon we will be contacting DAKOTA Arms Dealer's list for support and protection of our copious notes and plagiarisms. We plan to eventually institutionalize operations. Why are you laughing again?

There's that, and of course we will be hiring Hell's Angels as our security team next year's International Pork Burger Fest, starring a special entertainment group out of Springfield, Missouri, by way of Memphis, ya'll.

What's the big deal MooPig makes out about Michael Phelps: You have to ask ??!

YOU know we would love to continue, ... We could go on into infinity and beyond with this highly arrousing interview, but all good things must end.

We wish a happy Benchmark MooPig_W celebration for MooPig-sters everywhere; And to all a pleasant Christmas.
