Spaceflight's not easy: Space X loses "Scotty" (and a rocket)

Space X hasn't just lost a rocket, though. The flight was carrying a trio of small satellites belonging to NASA and the DoD. Perhaps less seriously, but probably more newsworthy, the ashes of over 200 people were also on board, including a pair of rather well known astronauts, one actual, one fictional. They were Gordon Cooper, one of the original Mercury 7, and "Scotty" himself, James Doohan.

Hollywood Takes on the Left
David Zucker, the director who brought us 'Airplane!' and 'The Naked Gun,' turns his sights on anti-Americanism.
by Stephen F. Hayes
08/11/2008, Volume 013, Issue 45

Zucker is plainly not worried about offending anyone. David Alan Grier plays a slave in a scene designed to show Malone what might have happened if the United States had not fought the Civil War. As Patton explains to a dumbfounded Malone that the plantation they are visiting is his own, Grier thanks the documentarian for being such a humane owner. As they leave, another slave, played by Gary Coleman, finishes polishing a car and yells "Hey, Barack!" before tossing the sponge to someone off-camera.

The history of the book I have is interesting. Apparently a western anthropologist realized some of the stories were being lost. So he went around to all the tribes in the Middle East and Southern Meditraniean and recorded the folk tales from all the tribes. Really fascinating when you read some of them. Something I learned a long time ago about different cultures and understanding. Their history shapes their stories and their thought patterns. If you learn their stories you can learn how they think and act.

BREAKING NEWS:

China grenade attack kills 16 ahead of Games

BEIJING - A police station in China's restive Xinjiang region was attacked on Monday morning, four days before the Beijing Olympics begin, killing 16 officers and wounding 12, state media reported.

"Rioters drove two vehicles to break into the border patrol armed police division" near Kashgar and threw two grenades, Xinhua reported.

The brief report did not describe the attackers. But the Xinjiang region in the far northwest has been at the heart of China's security fears leading up the Olympics, which begin in four days.

Xinjiang is home to a large Uighur Muslim population, many of them discontent under strict Chinese rule. Some Uighur groups are campaigning for an independent homeland for their Turkic-speaking people.

Barack Obama's Lost Years
The senator's tenure as a state legislator reveals him to be an old-fashioned, big government, race-conscious liberal.
"Illinois's fate may foreshadow the nation's. Obama's small and carefully targeted spending bills were expressly designed to win passage by a Republican-controlled state senate. But if Obama takes the presidency with a Democratic Congress at his back, we'll likely see a grand-scale version of the fiscal mayhem Obama and his colleagues brought to Illinois."

We go and if nothing was wrong go in service but visit for a bit and make sure they had everything they needed. We had one old gal in here 90's who'd been a teenager in the big SF quake in '06 then had spent years as a working girl then a madam in a SF brothel. She had a habit of flashing any rookies we had on the crew.

I'm sure they're nice. The two-wheeled Segway is very cute, but terribly inefficient, drains all its power standing upright. Silly. And still not stable, especially but not only in collisions. And limited in safe top speed. And payload. And, and ... three wheels is seriously so much better. It's nice you stand vertical, but. I think six wheels is the obviously optimal platform. If they survive, wait and see.

And then they can come out with the unicycle version, or the pogo-stick version, just for the novelty.

Meanwhile, Honda will be coming out with a two (or four or six) legged walking/running versions.

Sounds hokey but true story: I was hiking in the Cuyamaca area of San Diego county with Mr. Russkililover and some friends. We had to go through a canyon. I stopped short at the mouth of the canyon. Hair raised on my arms and back of neck, didn't know why. No sounds, i think that's what tipped me off - anyway we all stopped and looked around. Lo and behold about 30 ft above us on a ledge, a mountain lion face was peering down. We all stopped, stared, and started waving our arms and making ridiculous growling noises. Apparently, it fooled the cat and it took off in two leaps and disappeared into chaparral. I always look up now....

I have a dog - rescued, and we didn't know what the heck she was. We thought at first she was some sort of coyote mix - you know some coyote made a deal with a Chihuahua - "hey babe, I'm really horny, I won't kill you if you'll......" Surprise, surprise, we found out that she is a Carolina Dog (aka American Dingo). Looked up some websites and there was our Sydney! Found on the streets of Downey, Ca (of all hideous, industrial places) and made her way to us. Now that she's been socialized, she's awesome. And from looking at Carolina Dog sites, very typey.

re: #66 BlueCanuck

Cats, big cats mind you, are the only predator that will actively stalk a human. Makes you wonder what their little cousins are thinking.

I've noticed that my cats have two modes, "Pet" and "Wild". The latter mode is visible when the cats are falling asleep, or when they get to do "wild" things when they think nobody is watching. The giveaway is in the eyes. If your cat's eyes look like the lions on TV, your cat is in "Wild" mode.

One of mine likes to jump up on the table and steal chicken bones while I'm clearing the plates from dinner. I let her do it (I pretend not to see) but I have noticed that when she steals bones, she gets that look in her eyes that tells you "This is Wild Cat, your pet is not here right now".

re: #92 zombie

I'm doubtful about that Nigerian proverb. Mice, cats, holes in wooden walls -- those are not endemic to Nigeria. Cats, if any, were brought by the British, as were the house-construction techniques that involved the kind of wooden walls that could acquire holes. As for mice -- well, I guess there must be mice in central Africa, but they're not the same mice we're familiar with that live in an urban setting.

If it is indeed a "Nigerian" proverb, it probably comes from the British occupation era. But even that seems far-fetched.

African wildcats (ancestors to the common domesticated cats) are found all over Africa. The sub-genus Nannomys is found in northern Nigeria. And nowhere does the proverb state that the mouse's hole was in a wooden structure. It may be in a grain store, or simply a hole in the ground.

re: #151 Russkilitlover

"Beer butt chickens"? Do I even want to know.....?

oh hell yes you do: i don't even like chicken all that much anymore (thank you US Army %-) and this stuff rocks.

get your basic whole chicken, rinse it out and remove all the spare parts.

take a can of beer, or soda (Dr Pepper, lemon lime, orange, grape, Cactus Cooler for example) and drink it down to about 1/3-1/2. you may add spices, or salad dressing to the liquid at this time. take have an orange, lime, lemon, apple or any other fruit you think will w*rk, or a potato piece, and use it to plug the small hole where the neck used to be.

then place the can inside the large opening of the bird, so that the body is held upright on the grill. they make stands that result in a more stable bird, and they are well worth the 5-10 bucks to purchase.

cook bird over fire as usual, and the heat will cause the liquid to constantly baste the bird as it cooks. i do them on my Weber Smokey Mountain, and they are killer with guava or kiawae (sp?) wood from Hawaii. hickory and apple are good too, as is pecan.

I just finished watching the film "Longford," about a British politician who spends his life advocating for prisoners in England, and spends the latter part of his life defending serial killer Myra Hindley. The filmmakers I think were trying to make an English version of "Dead Man Walking" in which we're supposed to feel sympathy for the killer and idolize those who seek to help the killer "find redemption," but the film spectacularly failed in its moonbat mission, and the viewer only ends up despising Hindley and wishing she had been executed, and pitying the buffoonish Longford (the politician) for being such an naive ignorant tool.

Not to be particular, but the modern house cat originated in Spain, from a mountain species that itself came from Africa prior to modern man. So in fact Africa has many cat analogs that would behave similarly as a house cat, a creature well known in Egypt, that was imported in prehistoric times. As for mice, Africa not only has mice as we think of them, but many other species that would be categorized similarly by anyone.
A long way of saying you are correct.

Excerpts:

His attorneys contend Medellin was denied the protections of the Vienna Convention, which calls for people arrested to have access to their home country's consular officials. He has been in the United States since the age of 3.

Medellin's lawyers went to the Supreme Court after the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the state's highest criminal court, refused to stop the lethal injection. The justices ruled in March that neither the President nor the international court can force Texas' hand.

Another Pucca short that is cute.

Oh... and a nice version of Dies Irae.

The most articulate police officer I've ever heard absolutely nails the 'animal rights' terrorists who firebombed the home of a Santa Cruz family who's parents do biological research on mice.

Firebombed UCSC researcher speaks out
[Link: www.mercurynews.com...]

[Steve] Clark, the Santa Cruz police captain, said it was "unconscionable'' for anyone to defend such acts: "To put this on par with any of the human rights issues is an absolute insult to the integrity of the people who fought and went through the human rights movement. This is what people do when they have an inability to articulate their point in any constructive way. They resort to primal acts of violence. Any reasonable person would need a logic transplant to begin to understand this level of degraded thinking."

This so called "animal rights" movement has lost the right to continue. We need this research done. Like oil exploration, if we don't do it here, they will do it overseas, or not at all.

ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND POISED FOR BIGGEST LOSS IN UK BANKING HISTORY

The Royal Bank of Scotland is poised to unveil the biggest loss in UK banking history after taking a hit of almost £6 billion from the credit crisis.

Britain’s second-largest bank is this week expected to reveal a pre-tax loss of at least £1 billion for the first six months of the year, with analysts warning it could slide to as much as £1.7 billion in the red.

The loss would be roughly five times higher than the deficit racked up by Barclays in 1992 at the height of the last recession.....

Good night all. Getting difficult to read the screen, so off to take a nap. Y'all have a good morning/day depending on time zone.
