An afternoon open thread is Nirvana.

I think Ringo said the same thing in the early years.

NonNativeTexan Mon, Mar 30, 2009 12:21:47pm |
Didn't Ringo at least collaborate on a couple of songs?

Ringo was happy to do Lennon-McCartney songs. He said (paraphrasing) that if you work with two of the best song writers in the world, why would you object?

In German you have "Der Herr" (Masculine The), "Die Frau" (Feminine The), and "Das Madchen" (Neuter The), which led directly to the question of why little girls were neutered and answered by the teacher, "because they carry machine guns".

An amateur drummer dies and goes to heaven. While he is waiting outside the pearly gates, he hears some incredibly fast drumming coming from within heaven. He immediately recognizes the playing, and asks St. Peter if that really is Buddy Rich playing drums in heaven. St. Peter responds:
"No, that's G-d. He just thinks that he's Buddy Rich." An amateur drummer dies and goes to heaven.

re: #75 doppelganglander
I'm fascinated by languages that still have gender. I wonder if it leads the speakers to think differently.
A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa." "Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."
A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora"), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval;
and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ("el computador"), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem;
and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won.

Seen him in concert, both with Genesis and on a solo tour. Pretty good in both, although his solo tour show had technical difficulties during this very song (early 80s). Pretty good showman, but the drummer on the tours is usually Chester Thompson. Collins only jumps in on a couple of solos and major drum parts.

I hate those ads too. Especially since "freecreditreport.com" hides the actual free credit report link; they want you to sign up for one free report and a paid monitoring service. As far as I'm concerned, it is a misleading site.
And who runs it? One of the three credit reporting agencies!
The people who handle our credit reports resort to sleazy tactics to get more money.

No, sometimes remembering is awful. I would go out of my way to not ever patronize that company, and several others who have mega-annoying repetitive commercials. It causes a reflexive ' reach for the remote' action. Sometimes weird or corny is fun in advertising, but truly annoying? Not so much....
Same with me. That gets me reaching for the remote real fast. And see

re: #88 lawhawk
Seen him in concert, both with Genesis and on a solo tour. Pretty good in both, although his solo tour show had technical difficulties during this very song (early 80s). Pretty good showman, but the drummer on the tours is usually Chester Thompson. Collins only jumps in on a couple of solos and major drum parts.
You are right. Chester plays most of the drums now. I have seen him 3 times all solo. I have just about all of his and Genesis's DVD. I do prefer his early solo stuff and his Genesis work.
When him and Chester jam together I could replay that over and over. His DVD Finally The First Farewell Tour is great.

Hi Turn..Back in the 80's..I saw the greatest drummer of all time in Berkeley..
Billy Cobham..If I recall the jazz fusion combo it was Jon Scofield on guitar, Alfonso Johnson on Bass and the keyboard player from Zappa..
The night started out with this cool note from Bach and it just kept getting louder and louder and was shaking the house...ear spitting chord growing in loudness.
Then it stopped and they broke into the meanest funkiest guitar licks I have ever heard....we were high fiveing each other and it was the best start of a concert in all time...
During an extended guitar solo We could see Billy on the side stage doing push ups..We were screaming that dude is a monster!

Is gender a European-language thing? Does Chinese, Japanese, etc., use gender-designations for words?
An extract from Gendered Language:
Certainly the strong form of the gender-neutral language claim -- that language determines the state of sexual equality in a society -- can be easily ruled out. No sane person would claim that China (Chinese has no gendered pronouns) or Iran or Afghanistan (Persian has no gendered nouns at all) are particularly gender-inclusive societies. I suppose a better test might be to look at the impact of language in societies where most other things are equal. Finno-Ugric languages have no gendered pronouns: Did Soviet-era Hungary have more sexual equality than her Eastern Bloc neighbours? In bilingual Finland, do Finnish-speaking women have a better time of it than Swedish-speaking women? Maybe they do -- I haven't seen any figures. In any case, it would be hard to say that language was the determining factor either way. Hopefully some day a psychologist or linguist will come up with a controlled study of the question. Until then, most of this argument is just blather.
Still searching for a more definitive list, if that is possible.

I call up my insurance and ask WTF is going on, they said the hospital I went to was outside their network.
I pointed out it was an emergency and that I was in an ambulance and they took me to the closest hospital they could take me and I wasn't exactly in any condition to have asked that at the time, plus I noted they approved the ambulance ride as being covered by my plan.
They said it wasn't entered into their system as a ER visit, so they'll throw it back in as an appeal and hopefully get the coverage worked out right.

But at the same time, the "vos" form is normal usage today in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Bad recording, but Ginger baker was incredible too. Man we grew up in a time when musicians had such talent. I believe rock music of the 60s & 70s will be looked upon as the Renaissance of the 20th century. It was truly a time of super creativity.

A musician dies and goes to heaven.
He notices a series of doors with numbers on them.
St. Peter explains: “They’re IQ numbers. You choose a room based upon the IQ of those you’d like to be with.”
“Cool!” replies the musician.
He opens the door marked ‘155’ and hears the following:
“String theory is actually quite simple, much simpler than Einstein’s theory of relativity…”
“….way over my head….”, he thinks.
He moves on and opens the door marked ‘75’:
“I just LOVE reality shows! Don’t you?”
“……good grief…..” he mutters to himself.
Finally, in exasperation, he opens the door marked ‘12’.
He spots several people just sitting in complete silence…..no conversation whatsoever.
Suddenly, one of the occupants turns to another and speaks:
“So……what kind of sticks do you use?”

Many of those tunes are 40 years old and are still incredibly popular. I can hear them being played in 60 years from now, easily. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was the turning point, in my humble opinion. Sure it was the first LP to sell 40 million copies. But would you listen to any song from that LP right now? I mean do any of those tunes beckon you? I think not. From that point on, music was made for the moment. No real staying power. Sure there is the odd exception.

I had a werck last March, and though I wasn't hurt, I went to the hospitial for every kind of test you can imagine. I got out, and my car insurance (Allstate) payed without question. They didn't even raise my rates. My health insurance was a different nightmare. They refused to pay for the ER.
It was a $16,750 bill. Keep that figure in mind. I fought it through three or four appeals, and they kept trying to weasel out of paying on technicalities (it had to do with the fact that my auto insurance had a $1000 medical on it. That paid for the ambulance and a little bit else, leaving me almost seventeen grand owed).
I fought withthem, and kept fighting with them until I finally crossed every "t" and dotted every "i" and jumped through all of the hoops that they wanted me to. They paid the ER its agreed in-plan cost.
If they are going to rob people, they should use a gun. Why the hell would they do so many tests if you weren't hurt? Like they couldn't tell that? And don't give me that CYA shit. This kind of shit is gonna get us Dr. Obama.
$750.
Yes, I meant seven hundred fifty dollars. Down from almost seventeen grand. If it had been the $750, I'd have just said "fuck it" and paid it myself. Seventeen grand was out of the question.

Hooboy....the class I'm in right now is the Politics of American Suburbanization, and in the intro she started talking about how some of the topics will be about what happens when the state and government gets involved in real estate and housing markets.
....is it too early to raise my hand and say "ACORN"?
I would say that state involvement distorts the market. This goes for more than just real estate, but where ever government gets involved such as education and healthcare.

re: #214 Taqiyyotomist
I SO wish I could go back in time and tune the E string on the bass in Bob Marley and the Wailers' "Stir it Up". It's hard to listen to that song for me, the bass is so out of tune. First bass note in the song makes my teeth grit, like nails on the chalkboard.
You reminded me of this: Jamie Lidell: "Multiply." Not a reggae song, but the guitar riff reminds me a little of the one in "Stir it Up," even though this riff is actually much more reminiscent of "She Caught the Katy." More importantly, in "Multiply," the high E-string on the guitar is very, very flat, and it really bugs me. Not the guitar that's playing the repeating riff, the lead guitar. I really wish I could just reach in there and tune it up for the guy.
I still enjoy the tune.

/Yeah, right. The Peas are every bit as talented and meaningful as Hendrix.

only my youngest took up music (guitar)
and I had a guy who played in one of that vintage, who lived nearby, give him lessons for a year or soand even though he offered modern "music" instruction

I wasn't totally opposed to him, but I only hoped he'd beat out McCain because McCain is, well, McCain. I expected him to run a limp campaign, and he fulfilled my expectations.
I think Romney would have been a better choice, but that campaign is over. Why does Romney merit a second look from me?
Romney got a second look from me based on comments from TFK, to tell the truth. I'm still open to other candidates, but right now fiscal matters have taken a front seat for me.

Eating one piece of gum at a time...keeps doing it until he repeats a joke (a repeated wrapper)... about 25 pieces of gum in his mouth as he tries to talk.

Controversial British MP George Galloway’s request for an injunction to enter Canada has been denied by a Federal Court judge.The decision prevents Mr. Galloway from appearing in person at an event in Toronto this evening, the first of three scheduled events in Canada.
The federal government has told Mr. Galloway he could not enter Canada because he allegedly engaged in terrorist activities.
In a letter to Mr. Galloway, the government says the MP delivered humanitarian goods to war-torn Gaza and gave $45,000 to Hamas, which is a banned terrorist organization in Canada.
On Sunday, one of the lawyers who made the injunction bid said the British MP gave money to the head of the government in Gaza, not to the head of Hamas, even though they are the same person.

As I've stated once before. I believe MTV destroyed music. Who could produce the coolest video began to outshine who could produce the coolest song. So the focus was on video. Shlock songs sold millions because the video stuck in kids heads like bazooka Joe gum. I think that's what started it. Then it progressed to stage presence, where, video hungry teens needed their eyes fed more than their ears. Hence the S&M productions put on by Madonna, etc. etc. etc.

I will agree with you one hundred percent. What we have now is pap, and it has stagnated and simply gone stale. I would say this both on a technical musical level and on a creative artistic level.
There is nothing unique or new about the pop music being written and performed today.
I wholeheartedly agree. I would rather listen to Disco from the 70s than the corporate shit which spews forth from the Top 40 airwaves these days!

In the spirit of the discussion:
"Classic Rock" to me can now be defined as the finite collection of about 200, maybe 250 songs that they have played all day, every day, on every classic rock station, and now beamed from space on XM/Sirius. I asked a radio station manager once if these songs (you know them...the five songs from each artist that they are willing to play, despite the 300 songs in that artist's reportoire(sp), most of which are far better) were now public domain like "mary had a little lamb" or something, and if that's why those are the only 250 songs I've heard on Classic Rock stations for the last 38 years of my life.
He laughed and said no, it's all about the money, it's what people want.

We got our 13 and 11 year old sons Rockband 2 for Christmas and added the Rockband 1 songs for one of their birthdays. They are now into listening to bands on classic rock stations when we tell them which songs from the Rockband games those bands have done. The 11 year old is into the Who (yay!) and Bon Jovi (Lord help us). They recognize Gimme Shelter, Carry on Wayward Son, Eye of the Tiger, and a bunch of hair bands (oh well). The hubby and I have actually found some newer rock songs that we like that they're into so it's been a pretty fun experience.

This discussion reminds me of a conversation I had once over the development of hip-hop as offering a simulacrum of the development of art as that about which narratives were made, with the interpretation as that which bestows meaning on the thing interpreted.
All that was necessary was to remember that the MC used to provide commentary and explanation of the skills of the DJ and the dancers. Gradually, the virtuosity of the DJ became unimportant, as the functions could be performed by computer, and all that remained was the MC, who now had no point of reference for his rap except his own sorry self.

From your link...
TORONTO — A court decision Monday upholding a ban on George Galloway from entering the country amid allegations he engaged in terrorist acts will see the British MP deliver speeches to Canadian audiences via a live video link from New York.
Following the Federal Court ruling, organizers of Mr. Galloway's now aborted speaking tour said the maverick politician would not attempt to enter Canada.
“We're not interested in doing anything illegal whatsoever,” said James Clark, a peace activist and one of the speaking tour's organizers. “Our expectations were such that we were already implementing Plan B, which was to make sure that he can still deliver the speech from a live broadcast.”
James Clark is NOT a peace activist, he's an extreme leftists agitator who has made a career of inserting himself into activist cause in Toronto for the past 30 years.

re: #53 FurryOldGuyJeans
In German you have "Der Herr" (Masculine The), "Die Frau" (Feminine The), and "Das Madchen" (Neuter The), which led directly to the question of why little girls were neutered and answered by the teacher, "because they carry machine guns".
Mark Twain pointed out that in German, a train is feminine, but a girl is neuter, which he feels gives far too much respect to the train, and none at all to the girl.
But Twain had a grudge against the German language.

Maybe Tata Motors means something else in HINDU. It's an INDIAN car company that just announced its $2,000 car.Lookout, Detroit!
By the time it meets US safety and pollution standards, it will be $20,000.

Don't have to go all that far, wiping the PC, I think. Try a program called Spybot Search & Destroy, it's free. I've been using it for years, with great success.
Also, go into add/remove programs in your control panel, and remove all the crap that's in there that might be causing the problem (like SuperSearch toolbars and crap like that...I just made the name up, but there are hundreds of them out there that hijack your searches like that).
Also, try this search term (if you can find a PC that allows you to search)
"google yahoo searches redirecting"
Also, Firefox3 with an addon called NoScript, and this will never happen to you again. Noscript doesn't allow any scripts to be run unless you allow them. What is happening, I think, is that there is a piece of malware running a script on your site.
I also found these 2 sites.

I know. This twerp Clark keeps on recycling himself. In the 80's and 90's he was in the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, after 2001 he formed the Stop the War Coalition. These "coalitions" are always front groups for inserting Marxists into every activist cause they can find: anti-racism, environment, peace, etc.
George Orwell's observation about 'stoppers' still holds true - they're often only interested in our side stopping.
[Link: www.orwell.ru...]
But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists whose real though unadmitted motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration of totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writings of younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States. Moreover they do not as a rule condemn violence as such, but only violence used in defence of western countries.

At least they were fun and campy. The archeology in the second one was all off (Incas/Mayans in North America?), but it was fun.

Last Saturday I had a guy in the shop for about an HOUR who reeked of patchouli (is that redundant?) I burned some piñon incense while he was there and some more after he left. The next customer could still smell him.
There used to be a guy in town who was a fellow cyclist and a patchouli abuser. I had to be at least two blocks behind him if we were riding on the same street.
Don't read on if your queasy:
There was a students club were we used to enjoy our evenings. Hard earned as students of course/. Any way there used to be this black haired 'natural' girl who never shaved her arm pits nor her legsssss argh.
I shudder, just recalling. Her natural looks just coincided 'nicely' with her natural smell "de armpitte".
The dance floor soon emptied as soon as she and her patchouli cohorts appeared. That mixture was just too overpowering.

All most every one of my daughter's colds turned into pneumonia. Finally, at age nine, her pediatrician detected a heart murmur. To make a long story short she was diagnosed with Atrial Septal Defect. There was essentially no wall between the upper chambers of her heart. Open heart surgery at Arkansas Children's Hospital fixed the problem and she has not had bout of pneumonia since.

This is a partial repost. I am putting it here because I think the other thread is dying.
There are many papers like the following one. The bottom line is that when we do the numbers in any reasonable type on modeling we have without human driving factors -CO2 is just one of them, we get vastly different results from what is observed, and from models with those factors. The models with those factors are much closer to reality. In short, by doing this process all over the world again and again, we begin to rule out purely "natural" causes for global climate change.
Attribution of polar warming to human influence
Author(s): Gillett NP (Gillett, Nathan P.)1, Stone DA (Stone, Daithi A.)2,3, Stott PA (Stott, Peter A.)4, Nozawa T (Nozawa, Toru)5, Karpechko AY (Karpechko, Alexey Yu.)1, Hegerl GC (Hegerl, Gabriele C.)6, Wehner MF (Wehner, Michael F.)7, Jones PD (Jones, Philip D.)1
Source: NATURE GEOSCIENCE Volume: 1 Issue: 11 Pages: 750-754 Published: NOV 2008
Abstract: The polar regions have long been expected to warm strongly as a result of anthropogenic climate change, because of the positive feedbacks associated with melting ice and snow(1,2). Several studies have noted a rise in Arctic temperatures over recent decades(2-4), but have not formally attributed the changes to human influence, owing to sparse observations and large natural variability(5,6). Both warming and cooling trends have been observed in Antarctica(7), which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report concludes is the only continent where anthropogenic temperature changes have not been detected so far, possibly as a result of insufficient observational coverage(8). Here we use an up-to-date gridded data set of land surface temperatures(9,10) and simulations from four coupled climate models to assess the causes of the observed polar temperature changes. We find that the observed changes in Arctic and Antarctic temperatures are not consistent with internal climate variability or natural climate drivers alone, and are directly attributable to human influence. Our results demonstrate that human activities have already caused significant warming in both polar regions, with likely impacts on polar biology, indigenous communities(2), ice-sheet mass balance and global sea level(11).

No, I think I'll pass. Being a gentleman has nothing to do with phsyical looks or what one is wearing. It is an attitude that one has.
True enough, but there's a certain physical corollary to the attitude; one has obligations to others, and these extend to matters sartorial as well.
re: #763 buzzsawmonkey
There's no trick to choosing spats; they basically only come in grey, fawn and white, and anyone who would wear fawn spats with a blue or grey suit has already banished himself to the outer darkness.

Ok, your original comment sounded like you were saying that Drudge had a link posted to the "black woman perference" thing that you mentions.

Did you NOT know that the shriek/warble on "War is over" is her? Even as a BACK UP she ruined a song. . .
Yoko may have been the worst singer ever recorded in all history...
I dare any lizard to name a worst singer ( that was recorded by a real studio in a real record) in all of human history..
/You're Sister-in-law doesn't count.. It has to be a real recording..There is nobody within 23 million light years of Yoko..

That's because she looks like a witch, although the nose is false, but she has a wart.
She weighs the same as a duck; therefore, she floats in water, and logically, she's a witch.
BURN HER!
Not to put a damper on these comments but I often think of that village mob scene when I look at the idiots around me and the mindless Obama support. There's a whole lot of us that ain't any smarter than that crowd in the Holy Grail.......
And at least John Cleese got better. Can't say the same for these libtard loons.

To give 'em credit she WAS a witch.
Remember she actually did weigh the same as the duck (chortle)

Pietr, you just linked us to the front page of Drudge and Newsmax, saying "here's the article".
Umm, what?
No, for Newsmax, I wanted peeps to read about what BO was doing to the auto industry-TOP CENTER. Drudge also had that, so I linked Him. But I haven't found what I want yet RE the empowering Black Women, 'cuz I'm answering questions....I wanted research help, maybe someone to make a post regarding these things, if they are more informed...

This is a good article: [Link: www.americanthinker.com...]
It illustrates the way stupid people were spoon fed by the media and regurgitated the drivel on election day.
The stat that hit me the hardest is the percentage of democrat voters that attributed Tina Fey's comment on seeing Russia from her house to Sarah Palin. We are hopelessly lost when people are that mindless.

re: #793 LudwigVanQuixote
I have to leave, but I just want to point out that the models you refer to are crap, and therefore repeating them over and over, all around the world, produces nothing but more and more junk science.
Any model that throws out evidence that doesn't lead to the desired conclusion is a deliberate lie. Any model created by somebody who does not understand all aspects of the original system is flawed, and how badly it is flawed can only be guessed.
And by the way, even IF the models are exactly correct, they predict that even if we all immediately reverted to a pre-industrial lifestyle, it would barely make a dent in the system. HUGE costs, VIRTUALLY NO gain. Screw that.

All you have said is that you will completely dismiss what you do not want to hear. All models are not crap. Real measurements go into them, real physics goes into them and they are compared to real measurements afterwords.
