Welcome, younglings!
Incidentally, schadenfreude can be such fun...
A year ago, when Barack Obama said it was time to turn the page, his campaign declaration seemed to promise a fresh start for Washington. I, for one, failed to foresee Obama would turn the page backward. The president-elect's lineup for key governing positions has opted for continuity, not change. Virtually all of his leading appointments are restoring the Clinton presidency, only without Mr. Bill. In some important ways, Obama's selections seem designed to sustain the failing policies of George W. Bush.
This is not the last word and things are changing rapidly. But Obama's choices have begun to define him. His victory, it appears, was a triumph for the cautious center-right politics that has described the Democratic party for several decades. Those of us who expected more were duped, not so much by Obama but by our own wishful thinking.

I think Robert A. Heinlein had it right:
Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can’t help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

Mystery `Eleanor Rigby' document goes to auction
Eleanor Rigby: fact or fiction?
That question, which has bedeviled Beatles' fans for decades, may be answered in part by a 1911 hospital payroll sheet to be auctioned in London on Thursday.
The document, sent by Paul McCartney in 1990 to the director of a music charity who had asked for funding, contains the signature of a scullery maid named "E. Rigby" who worked in a Liverpool hospital.
The director of the company auctioning the document believes the woman who signed the payroll is the same Eleanor Rigby buried in 1939 in a Liverpool graveyard next to the church where McCartney met the young John Lennon.
"I've spoken to the person who lived in the house where she used to live, and they've confirmed that the signature is the same signature of the person in the graveyard," said Tom Owen of the Fame Bureau auction house, adding that the finding may contradict McCartney's longtime assertion that the song was based on a made-up character.
"It's intriguing that McCartney owned it because he says he created the song around a fictitious figure," said Owen. "And yet, how did he have this document and why did he have it? When he was asked to donate money, he sent this."

Sort of interesting how justice is served nowadays. OJ dodged a bullet with the criminal murder trial, but he got hammered in the civil trial and got run over by a bull dozer in this latest tiff. The only consolation OJ has is that he will feel right at home with his new mates, and that they probably will not gang rape him.

I know. I never saw quiche served at room temperature until the first time I went to Europe, France to be exact (surprised?).
For a matter of fact, I found a lot of foods served and stored at room temperature. They are not into over cooled anything. Soft drinks are luke-cool, beer is luke-cool or warm, I saw meats just laid out on counters, not in coolers, most places had lost the recipe for ice. Milk was warm (and not pasteurized).
Interesting.

The French do omelets for dinner. A liver omelet, salad, wine, cheese. Very tasty.
Whenever I have liver I found that it pays to have a cat nearby. In these cases you can lick the cat in the ass in order to get the taste of liver out of your mouth.

True. And the NYT and AP were both covering that same angle a few weeks back (NYT) and a few days ago (AP).
Want to know how to deal with the pirate threat? Eliminate their income stream. Stop paying the damned ransoms and eliminate the threat. Pirates need the income and if everyone stops paying, they wont be able to sustain their efforts.
Instead, we get stories that suggest the INS Tabar somehow fired on the wrong vessel. Fact is, the pirates were in control of that ship and they fired on the Tabar. The Tabar acted within its rights. Meanwhile, what exactly was that Thai trawler doing off the coast of Somalia in the first place. Seems a long way off from Thailand.

Mrs Big Steve is the world's champion belcher. She and I were once on a softball team and she played 2nd base and the guy who played Left Field marveled that he could hear her belch from where he was at. Lately, when my sons bring dates home, they have to remind their mom not to belch.
ROFL.
I've never been able to do it.
But - I can wiggle my ears. Each one independently, or both at the same time.
Now, there's a talent that really comes in handy.

The news is saying that the pirate ship fired on and sunk really belonged to village fisherman. Totally innocent.
Next, we'll be getting photos of a bloody stricken child, holding a cute little stuffed animal (spotless) - an innocent victim of the attack.
How many days do you bet it will take?
There must be some sort of manual or set of rules and protocols agreed upon by the terrorists, ME and African criminals and pirates and the global media has to how the propaganda is to be disiminated; Glorifying criminals and vilifying the good guys is starting to get a little tiresome to the average Joe or Jane Six-pack!

re: #359 Mich-again
We ate liver and onions about once a week in my house when I was growing up. Used to dip the pieces of liver in applesauce, mashed potatoes, or anything else just to try to disguise the taste, but nothing worked. Liver is the most god-awful crapola anyone ever served up on a dinner plate. Yech. Double Yech.
Then I guess foie gras is out of the question? Goodness, I love foie gras, along with some brie and some fresh bread and cheese with cream and sugar and... ok... stop Walter, stop.

Organ meats are a major contributor to raising the purines in the blood. Purines help make Uric Acid, which forms crystals, which sink to the lowest part of your body...you big toe knuckle, causing gout.

Was it a sudden weight gain or one over the course of several months. Sudden weight gain ain't good (time to see a doctor maybe), yet some weight gain as one gets older is common if not desired.
No, what I am saying is 3 years ago I stopped drinking, started eating right and since then I lost 170 pounds.
Then this last Aug. 16th, 2008, I stopped smoking. And since that time, my appetite has been very strong. And I tend to eat a few packs of M&M's every few days, and I have gain about 6 or so pounds over these last 3 months.
I don't think anything is wrong accept that I have added bit too much sugar back into my diet and I need to stop it.
But, the lost of the nicotine in my system has really set my appetite off. I just have to buck up and stop the snacking.

You probably hit the nail on the head. I'm basically poor and tend to spend carefully on food, but I really need to go ahead and stock up on fresh fruit to snack on.
I work from home 3-4 days a week, writing, sometimes some contract programming and then I work 3-4 days at a live theatre, I'm doing the starving artist thing at age 55.
But you are right. My health has improved 200 percent in the last 3 years, and I can't backslide now, I feel too good.
I think I will hit up the fruit department on Thursday, spend a few bucks and try to make myself stick to snacking on fruit.

"yomama" is the one I have my eye on. Something about the name suggests a certain belligerence. I can't quite put my finger on it.
We got on the "yomama" thing during high school and after, nearly got into a fight with a mate during boot camp when he mistook 'me use of it as serious instead of joking. He was a big fellow and I had to some fast talking! I was a real smart-ass back then mates!

Fruit is full of sugar. Stick with the m&m's. Easy to carry, you can nibble one at a time, let the sugar coat melt, then the chocolate - keeps your mouth and tongue busy. A good sub for cigs I think.

Its like being a farmer. Sure, you can take a day off, but when you do, all the work will just be waiting for you when you come back.
I have unreliable lackeys. Up one day, down the next. When I leave, they see it as a sign to shoot for the bottom.

No, it's not. I'd bet you've never read a romance novel (safeway porn, or pretty much anything with Fabio on the cover) in your life.
get a 1/4 refund on every J.D. Robb book I buy, because that's how much of the book I skip because of the sex.
I'm more like guys than most gals. I like my books with action.
And here I am, writing a book in which all the action is internal!
I have thought that books like JD Robbs must be much easier since word processors came on- I swear that the sex scenes have about 9 words changed from book to book. And 'watching' Eve operate is like those teen-age movies where you're hollerin at the kids "Do not split up, do not for what is going on, get the f@#K out of that run -down old house!"

I was with his wife in the waiting room, and when the surgeon came out and told us how it went, his description of the damaged liver was not pretty. No thanks, not for dinner. Filet here, please, still mooing.

"Everything that President-elect Obama has done since election night has been just about perfect, both in terms of a tone and also in terms of the strength of the names that have either been announced or are being discussed to fill his administration," Lieberman said during a visit to Hartford.

All green vegetables went in a saucepan with a few strips of bacon in the bottom.

I made a Facebook post just now...tell me what you all think;
---
First Positive Move By President Obama: Keeping Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on.
[Link: townhall.com...]
I love it. LOVE IT. You know why? President Obama is so vehemently against the Iraq war, has been idiotic and ridiculous in his continued condenmation of the surge strategy, despite the fact that Secretary Gates and General Petraeus among others, have run a military campaign the last two years that has absolutely kicked ass and seen violence drop SIGNIFICANTLY, and control of cities mostly lies in the hands of Iraqis at this point.
In a bit of irony, Obama's hometown of Chicago experienced 125 murders over the summer of 2008. That's MORE THAN DOUBLE the US Soldier Death Toll in Iraq over the same period. [Link: cbs2chicago.com...]
Yet he chose to keep Secretary Gates on, the man who's been "in control" of the war for a couple of years now. The war that Obama, Reid, Pelosi, the media and so many of you have declared "lost", "unjust", and all these other ridiculous adjectives. The war that has been turned around with hard work and dedication, and faith, even when SO MANY PEOPLE turned their backs.
And it's hilarious, too. Obama ran on "change". The biggest (and only) "criticism" any of you Bush-haters and Obama-supporters can come up with is the war in Iraq, and all this negative rhetoric regarding it.
It's how he won, too. He got elected on this notion of "change" from the "failed administration of the last eight years that has brought embarrassment to our country" and all this other bullshit that everyone just ate up. Yet, he keeps Gates who was in charge of the biggest "black mark" on this current administration. Shouldn't liberal heads be exploding over this? After all, their "savior" goes and keeps the guy in charge of the thing they claim to hate the most, especially after what he promised to people and preached to people for his tenure (lol, how many days was it again before he declared his candidacy?) in the Senate and during his campaign?
Good job President Obama, you made a great choice here.

No, it's not. I'd bet you've never read a romance novel (safeway porn, or pretty much anything with Fabio on the cover) in your life.
I think, personally, of when I was reading John Ringo's Ghost, and finally asked John how many pages I needed to skip to get to the violence. I'm furious with Laurell Hamilton, because she hasn't written a coherent plot in at least four books because all she does is write sex, and I'm bored witless. I sometimes think I should get a 1/4 refund on every J.D. Robb book I buy, because that's how much of the book I skip because of the sex.
I'm more like guys than most gals. I like my books with action.
And here I am, writing a book in which all the action is internal!
Yeah, I have noticed that female authors tend to write more explicit scenes than men. I used to belong to a romance writers' group, but never did get my novel published. I like thrillers and mysteries better than romance.

My sweetie and I were in a resort town a couple of summers ago and we stopped at a gourmet cooking shop... rows and rows of bulk spices, gourmet salt, gourmet pepper, vinegars etc.
We paused at the "meat rub" display, and after reading the directions on one of the labels, ("Gently rub the mixture into both sides of the meat" "make a wet rub to put some heat into your meat!" ) we laughed ourselves silly.
To this day I can't walk down a spice aisle at the grocery store without cracking up.

I write very good dialogue, provided you're reading it, and not speaking. I work on dialog harder than my descriptive passages, which come easily; but I tend to let my characters' speeches carry a lot of the burden of characterization, which means my characters need to talk very well.
It drives people around me mad, because I pace, and act out the dialogue. Until you've had a girlfriend speaking in two voices in the shower, you have not had a disturbing time - or so said at least two males in my life.

It said even more about Lieberman...we live in NY (obviously), but near the CT border, and know more than we want to about him. I would literally not vote for him if he ran unopposed for the Presidency, but that will not happen, I don't think.
Lieberman is the quint-essential example of a panderer. The man's only principles are to go whichever way he thinks will get him the most votes. Hell, that describes most of Congress.

For any cheese fans out there, or really good , top quality produce and specialty stuff. I tried two cheeses. A chocolate goat cheese, (sounded dubious, but different, had to go for it) and a Wensleydale white cheese with cranberries. I have to go back tomorrow for more. These are the two best cheeses I have ever tasted. I also bought the Marscapone, and my husband tried it then hid it, I think. Anyone who likes cheese for the holidays should take a look. Weird, I know, but, I had to share the link to this stuff.

I hate playing holiday music in public. Back in the 70's, I worked part time at a mall music store and I ran the organ department (ok, no jokes please) and of course, during Xmas season, we would put one of the large theater style organs out in front of the store and I would play.
I felt like a monkey with an organ grinder. It was a Thomas organ, and I would have to show off all those automatic features that filled in a lot of arrangement for you.
The sell factor was even you could sound like a professional organist with all the bells and whistles. But it was a scam. I could make all the bells and whistles sound so good because I was so good.
If you didn't know what you were doing, you would sound like poop. I finally quite the store since I felt like I was ripping people off with this sort of thing.

Right. Hell, I can make a 20 casio keyboard sound like a small band. Too bad I couldn't stand sales, cause I probably would own a music store now. I was able to demo the hell out of those machines.

Doug Moody, owner and producer of Clock Records, told us how this song came together:
"Dave lost his voice that Saturday morning and could not sing 'The Cat And The Dog.' The guys were restless and started jamming. Dave was at the piano and was doing a funky version of 'Shortnin' Bread.' Our engineer (owner of the studio) had one eye a rag top (which frequently slipped off) and yelled to Dave, 'Try the organ.' He went out and fired up the huge Hammond B3 in the corner. Dave could only play it in the key of C and we did one take of an instrumental. I lived with it all through the Christmas weekend and called it The Happy Organ.

Really? That's sorta cool. He and the MG's didn't make a lot of dough with their own recordings but were the "back up band" or house band
In 1992, Bob Dylan asked them to again serve as house band, this time at the concert commemorating his thirty years in the music business. There, they backed up Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, and even Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder. While there, Neil Young asked the group to back him up on his world tour the following year.Also in 1992, Booker T. & The M.G.'s were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[12]
In 1994, the group recorded its first album in 17 years, called That's The Way It Should Be. Steve Jordan was the featured drummer on most tracks.
In 1995, when the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame opened its museum in Cleveland, Ohio, the M.G.'s served as the house band for the opening ceremonies, playing behind Aretha Franklin, Sam Moore, John Fogerty, and Al Green, as well as performing themselves.

I've had every one of them except the Mellotron. Had a Hammond XK3 up to a year ago, sold it since I don't gig anymore and it was really too kick-ass for the apartment. And I had a hughes kettner leslie simulator for it. It was no fun playing it if I couldn't crank it, so I downgraded to a mid-sized Yamaha. It's got all those gimmack voices and stuff, but it does a passable grand and tone generator style organ.

Booker T. Jones (born November 12, 1944) is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, record producer and arranger, best known for fronting the band, Booker T. and the MGs.Born in South Memphis, Tennessee, Jones was a child prodigy, playing the oboe, saxophone, trombone, and piano at school and serving as organist at his church.

From a friend:
Life in the Australian Army...
Text of a letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad. (For Those of you not in the know, Eromanga is a small town, west of Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland)
Dear Mum & Dad,
I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin' on the farm - tell them to get in bloody quick
smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don't hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all yagotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack - nothin'! Ya haz gotta shave though, but its not so bad, coz there's lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no kangaroo steaks or possum stew like wot Mum makes. You don't get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march' - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the back paddock!
This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin' - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody possum's bum and it don't move and it's not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it's a piece of piss! You don't even load your own cartridges they comes in little boxes and ya don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload!
Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it's not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster.
Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and I've only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers - he's 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I'm only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin' wet,but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer.
I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is.
Your loving daughter,Sheila

Yea, I know the innards. We had one at the music store I worked at. I think the going price was about 3 grand.
I use to collect instruments, when I was making money and had the room. I was really big on the analog keyboards.
I have the Yamaha (64 keys), a Epiphone Les Paul make-believe model, an good accordion and about 40 harmonicas (harps and orchestral models). Enough stiff to keep me happy.

Now. I know a lot of people who can discern BB King from Albert King, and other such comparisons like that. But there are a few in this world who could listen to an unreleased track of, say, BB, and tell you with close proximity at least which album he was recording when he laid that track.
I could, to a certain extent, with Stevie Ray Vaughan once his label started churning out unreleased tracks. At least I could tell the tracks that John Hammond produced.
As for organs, well, that's an art form that will one day be lost, I fear. The digital "patches" these days are so good I have a hard time discerning from a keyboard and a horn section. Of course, I'm 45, and have a mild case of tinnitus, so that may be a factor.

Now that Obama has been elected President, we're told that the country is unified. Yet, when Bush was President, we were repeatedly told that the country had become dark, evil and divided. I talk to people every day who are furious and angry about the election of Obama; they can't believe the country has sunk so low as to endorse a leader opposed to freedom in so many areas. It's kind of like the days and weeks right after 9/11, for the half of the population who didn't drink the Obama Kool Aid.
So how united are we? It's not really an issue of united or divided. It's an issue of the Establishment approving of this new President -- because he's decisively collectivist and socialist -- and the Establishment disapproving of the last President, who was perceived as capitalist and anti-terrorist (when, in fact, he stood for almost nothing). The Establishment consists of academia; most of the government; all television news except for Fox News; the bulk of Internet blogs; and essentially all other media, newspapers and publications, with the dissenting (and soon to be outlawed) conservative talk radio as an unusual exception. The Establishment has its President, its Congress and (soon) its Supreme Court.
Almost half of the country didn't vote for Obama, and instead voted for one of the weaker candidates the Republican Party opposition has ever served up. A lot of people who opposed Obama stayed home in protest, disguising the weakness of his victory even more. There are probably even a few Democrats who quietly wonder if Obama has what it takes to avoid being another Jimmy Carter. There is less than enthusiastic support, even in Congress, for what the Establishment media hails as the "New New Deal," which so far consists of bailing out the American auto industry and turning it into a government-subsidized environmentalist "business." Will a bankrupt, government supported former car industry be Obama’s great legacy, and will Americans rally behind it like nothing ever seen before? Are battery operated cars that don't work to be the essence of "change" we can believe in? Then there's the hundreds of billions in proposed government spending. Spending for its own sake didn't stop the Great Depression, which continued through all of FDR's terms in office. Can we expect any better when Obama does the same?
No, I don't think America is all that united. The most stalwart opponents of liberty have won -- for now -- because there are no proponents of liberty, freedom and individual rights on the political scene. That's not "united." That's just plain sad.

If you wanna go a little bigger, but you don't want as much kick. You can always buy the gas loaded semi-auto.

re: #1009 rawmuse
I dig history, and especially music history. You know those little sheet music arrangements (they called them "stocks") the ones that were smaller than standard letter size? I have cases of those, bought from widows, etc. They have cigarette ads them, and ads for speed reading courses. Hysterical.
I've never heard of them. All my musical training (studied) was from 9 years of accordion lessons. In 1970, switched to a Thomas spinet organ, started a band, and a year later, purchased a combo organ. I played almost every weekend (in some band or another) until 1982. I haven't gigged since then. Even though I was doing off and on theatre stuff since I was 14, the theatre stuff got busier in 1983 and I dropped trying to play around.
Like I said above, just play for my own pleasure now.

re: #967 gmsc
Interesting article but this
So how united are we? It's not really an issue of united or divided. It's an issue of the Establishment approving of this new President -- because he's decisively collectivist and socialist -- and the Establishment disapproving of the last President, who was perceived as capitalist and anti-terrorist (when, in fact, he stood for almost nothing).
just slays me.
Bush took the GWoT to the terrorists. He beat the crap out of 'em in Afgahnistan (the country many armchair and real former generals said we couldn't win in cause the Might Soviet Union couldn't win there in ten years; so we took 'em in what - 9 weeks after 9/11?). He's won victory in Iraq - despite some doubters and formed another ME democracy - fledgling though it may be and, most importantly of all, there have been no more 9/11 on George W. Bush's watch.
I'll always be greatful to him for those things, at the least.

OK, well I just bought a shotgun for my girlfriend. I bought her the 20 gauge gas loaded semi-auto. It will definitely stop someone in their tracks. If you do buy a shotgun for home defense they also have very basic home defense shotguns. They are typically 12 guage with a short barrel. If you are buying for the home go with the 2 3/4 in #8 load shells. They spread the most.

With 82 percent of ballots cast recounted by Tuesday evening and the number of challenged ballots climbing past 3,600, Coleman's lead over Franken stood at 231 votes, according to a Star Tribune compilation of results reported to Ritchie's office and gathered by the newspaper. That figure represented a gain for Coleman from Monday, and put him 16 votes above the margin he held at the start of the recount.

This is spot on. Especially when everyone plays what and how they're supposed to. But most folks don't know that any kind of ensemble music work is just that: WORK.

I was staying on Lake Minnetonka and all the people I met were strong pioneer type folks. Seemed conservative enough. I enjoyed the tough nature of all of them.
But then I see the stuff coming out of there all the time and I wonder if it's like some pod people, clones of the real Minnesotans.

Hey my friend! You know how much I dislike Obama and all the good reasons why.
But the fact is that he will be President of OUR nation, and frankly I do wish him the best of luck...for America's sake.

He's looking more like Clinton, the Third Term, with all his appointments.
I am a little pissed at the guy about these daily news conferences with that stupid "Office of the President Elect" sign. I cannot recall a previous "President Elect" acting in this manner.
I give Obama one thing, he is about as arrogant as the come. He makes GWB look like a modest mouse.

they're going to fight over challenged votes, rejected (by State law) absentee ballots, and I don't see Franken's assholes doing the decent thing when they lose, without first dragging this up and down the State and Federal courts
Figures. Just as I thought The One would never make it to the Presidency, I also thought that Franken was a joke candidate, with not the chance of a snowball in hell of winning.
I have cousins in MN, and feel sorry for them if the worse happens, as I would for you and the other MN lizards...and this is from a New Yorker.../Look who we have representing us.
They ought to charge the cost of the recount to the Demonrat Party, like that would ever happen.

Lucy, the Purple Cow, was a champion producer and furnished Paul [Bunyan]'s dairy products. She was contented so long as the grass was green, so in the winter Paul fitted her with green glasses to make the snow look like grass.
The year of the two winters it got so cold her milk turned to ice cream before it hit the pail. That was the winter Paul invented the double-deck ice cream cone.

I know all kinds of drummers, most are very good. A few have even played with Ray Charles, who was capable of sending drummers away in tears. Then I know some rocker dudes, they hit the snare so hard snot comes out of MY nose, and I am five feet away. Give me a Mel Lewis type or a Billy Higgins any day.

I will recognize Obama as America's president IF he is an American, and IF he completes the requirements as laid out in the Constitution!
IF Obama is elected (and there is MORE to the process in America!) THEN I will acknowledge him as president.
Until then, there IS something we can do about the media blackout on news of either of the lawsuits currently in court about Obama. Its no longer just Obama's citizenship that is questioned, there is this MSM clampdown on news that Americans have a right to hear, learn, know...

re: #1123 rawmuse
Hell we'd a settled for a drummer who'd wait for his "solo" instead of "walking up to it" ya know?
Is it really so much to ask of a drummer that he and the bass player, ya know, sorta get along and play the same damn song every time out?! LOL!
Remember rawmuse - we were really young, just had our chops developing and playing in bars I wouldn't otherwise have gone into and you get to a certain part (me on Rhythm Guitar especially) where suddenly the timing just changed on ya? THAT'S the kind of pain in the ass drummers we had.
But we did have a lot of fun - and a lot of booze! And if I do say so myself, we had 3 part harmonies going that were really fine. Not quite CS&N fine, but fine.
Damn good times and memories!
