Joe Bonamassa still hasn’t gotten the respect and coverage that he deserves. That is because he plays for the love of the music not the money. Eric is a legend and Joe will one day be recognized for who he is. He can rip your head off before you even know it’s gone. One day.

Looks like the new uniform for blues guitarists is a black blazer and a white dress shirt with no tie.

Hey Charles, here is a sneak preview of the new Todd Rundgren album to be released on April 9. Based on what I have heard (about half of it), this is easily his best work since Liars in 2004, and more than a bit related to Healing:

He kicks ass. If you can check his early stuff he was a juke box. Play anything better than the original. He’s also not a train wreak and just might get better. Think about that!

I was reading a wingnut comment complaining that it’s wrong that women have the right to choose to have an abortion or not, but father’s don’t… Also complaining that a woman can choose to keep a child and thus sue a father for child support..

Emigres from Russia and Germany really did amazing things for Hollywood. It came together pretty nicely for America. Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, Marlene Dietrich, Peter Lorre, and even guys like Yul Brynner.

This is America, 2013:

Revised age of the universe doesn’t jibe

“Scientists rethink universe” (Associated Press, March 24) stated that scientists now calculate the age of the universe at 13.8 billion years. The “big bang” is listed as a figurative 0-60 mph in thousandths of a second, bringing the universe from nothing to that of what we see in today’s world. Many bright individuals are involved — astronomers, planetary physicists, etc. — but another group not mentioned is very much a part of the debate. What about the anthropologists who give no credit to creationism but relate everything to the process of “evolution”?

It’s been said and “proven” (how, I don’t know) that it would take 26.2 billion years for humans as we know them today to evolve into their current forms. So, the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years and the evolution of humans took 26.2 billion years. My math teachers taught me that 13.8 billion minus 26.2 billion results in a negative number. Something doesn’t add up! Would the planetary astronomers pick up the telephone and talk to the anthropologists to resolve a conflict that my third-grade math teacher said wasn’t possible?

James Claflin, Edmond

Yup, something most certainly “doesn’t add up”.

Wonkette on the latest Piers Morgan gun control group debate:

Dana Loesch Speaks, Remarkably Does Not Shatter All Glass In Thousand-Mile Radius

“Sometime back in the early 1990s, CNN left its standards at one of Ted Turner’s sheep ranches and has never bothered to so much as send out a couple of interns to bring them back.”

“…Loesch is so unlikable that even the tragic orphans at Dead Breitbart’s Embalming Fluid Emporium fell out with her, and those dipshits love anyone to the right of your average banana republic commandante.”

We came home from walking downtown for dinner last night to find a huge moth (2”+) on the screen door that looked kind of like those do. First time I’ve ever seen anything like it.

My husband called it a moth-god. We shut the door to keep the cats from climbing up the screen to try and catch it.

Texas district attorney and wife found slain

A North Texas district attorney was found slain with his wife this weekend, months after an assistant district attorney who worked for him was killed outside the local courthouse.

Kaufman County Dist. Atty. Mike McLelland, 63, and his wife, Cynthia, 65, were found dead Saturday in Forney, about 25 miles east of Dallas, Kaufman County Sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Justin Lewis told the Los Angeles Times.

“We’re in the preliminary stages of the investigation,” Lewis said.

He could not say how the two were killed, where they were found or whether investigators had linked their deaths to the Jan. 31 killing of Kaufman County Assistant Dist. Atty. Mark Hasse, 57. The couple lived in Forney.

We flew through Hong Kong on our second trip to Saigon for the adoption. I was probably the only person on the aircraft that was disappointed to be flying into the new airport. I’d always read about the hard turn on final coming in and the seat backs had video screens hooked into a cam on the nose wheel. Gah that would have been epic to watch.

Certainly better than the Air Egypt crew that almost dropped a 757 I was in in to Tokyo bay. They almost touched down a click short… It’s not good to know what some sounds mean at times like that. Thankfully they caught themselves just barely in time.

Actually just pepper spray. Heavily concentrated.

It can be the difference between life and death in certain circumstances, but you need to avoid spraying too soon (because you need it to actually hit the bear).

Better is to make sure you’re making a fair amount of noise on the trial so the bear has plenty of warning - they don’t want conflict anymore than you do, generally. Last trip, we hiked out to Lone Star Geyser with friends and their 3 month old daughter. Forget the bear, *I* wanted to run away.

There’s a campground, gotta look it up on Google Earth, Madison Campground. It’s where the road from West Yellowstone Montana meets the main north south road. If you walk down to the river, at the edge there are areas with walls of piled rock that make natural hot baths. you can sit on the bubbling gravel, on the edge of the river and watch the sun set on the mountains.

Haven’t gotten to stay at Madison Campground yet, but I think they just changed it to allow reservations and it’s high on my list. We have a teardrop travel trailer and I could happily live at Yellowstone all summer every summer.

Unfortunately, my husband enjoys more varied vacation destinations and since we went this past summer, I probably need to wait another year before we can go back. :(

That bums, me out. I used to camp in Yosemite from Christmas to New Year. You could drive in and pay $3 and find an empty campsite. You could camp for free, and if the gates weren’t manned you didn’t even have to pay the $3 a day fee for the days you were in the park. That was back in the 80s. Then winter camping got popular, so I moved to back country ski-packing.

Yosemite is still FAR better in winter than in summer. We’ll probably go by and see it in the winter this year. I won’t go near that place in the summer.

My first trip, there was snow on the valley floor and we saw a coyote and a bobcat while walking to the base of Yosemite Falls. I hate heights so I’ll never see the top. I did promise my husband I’d hike with him up to the base of Half Dome but I refuse to go up the cables.

Texas district attorney and wife found slain

This is from March 22:
FBI checks link between Texas, Colorado slayings

KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) — Authorities are investigating whether the killing of a Texas county prosecutor earlier this year is linked to the slaying of Colorado’s prison director.
Kaufman police chief Chris Aulbaugh said Friday the FBI is checking to see if the January shooting death of Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse is connected to Tuesday’s killing of prison chief Tom Clements.
Hasse was killed about 100 miles away from where former Colorado inmate and white supremacist Evan Spencer Ebel died Thursday after a shootout with deputies. Investigators are trying to determine if Ebel is linked to Clements’ death.
Aulbaugh calls the investigation routine for attacks that appear similar. Both targeted law enforcement officials. Authorities have investigated whether Hasse’s death could be linked to a white supremacist gang.

When I was much younger, my then girlfriend (who, I will add, is still a very good friend to this day) used to say, regularly, that other people’s children were the world’s best contraceptives…

That said, I was so much older then (I’m younger than that now ;) and my 11 year old adopted son is why…

Ah, thank you all.

As some may know, I’ve been working away on genealogy and recently been tackling “genetic genealogy”.

After some digging and various attempts, I’m coming to the conclusion that many of the companies involved in this, even the better ones, even though they have some powerful software they also have a really, really poor “user experience” with their software. Poorly explained functionality, overly wrought CSS3 and HTML5, and the like.

On top of all of this, the consuming public of genetic testing seem rather confused. Dazed even. It’s very difficult stuff, even compared to, say, making a soufflé.

The medical use of this genetic information is even more a confusing mess, I gather from reading various forums on the topic. (And the fixation on racial differences and intelligence is rather telling of the state of our society.)

Math is not only hard, but probability is often counter-intuitive.

Genetic testing may indeed prove to be too esoteric to really be a consumer product.

Same here. Even with a science background, I’m lost. It’s developing science, so the terms for genotypes and markers are changing quickly, and I don’t have time to sit down and really study what’s going on. I’ve got the key information I wanted, my paternal line’s likely origins in Devon, England, but the deeper origin information I’m not so keen on yet.

Some consumers, though, seem to anguish over whether they’re from England, Ireland, Scotlands or Wales, have Viking or Italian roots, are French or German, and so on. Doubtless, some nationalistic fervor there.

The Yahoo group I joined offers no great assistance, as it’s a mailing list with tons of consumers trying to get answers from overworked moderators. My question, which I haven’t pursued since, has gotten lost in the information overload.

Last night we watched “The Big Lebowski” the way some other families watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” or whatever their favorite holiday movie.

We “discussed” (i.e. yelled & screamed at each other) over whether TBL deserves to be “The Greatest Comedy of All Time” or should that honor go to “Blazing Saddles.” We all agreed that “Life of Brian” is #3.

In the end, Zedushka & our oldest son voted for TBL.

When Garden State Park race track burnt down it took a while to go through the rubble. The horses were gone but the “barn cats” were still there serveral months later. And there cats at other race tracks.

Predators and Prey can learn to love each other

Only because the cat is much smaller. Put a miniature horse around a puma, even a relatively tame one, and the puma will attack the little horse. It’s true with any feline: They’ll attack and eat you if they’re big enough to do so.

There are always barn cats. I don’t understand. I figure the cats are needed to ensure order.

If a cat decides you are to die. It’s size won’t matter.

Mice like to hide in hay. They frighten the horses. Cats kill the mice.

That’s funny. Yeah, they’ll place themselves right behind you while washing the dishes and then BOOM! You fall to your death and the cat then devours you for the next 90 days. //

Study shows Shakespeare as ruthless businessman

“Over a 15-year period he purchased and stored grain, malt and barley for resale at inflated prices to his neighbors and local tradesmen,” they wrote, adding that Shakespeare “pursued those who could not (or would not) pay him in full for these staples and used the profits to further his own money-lending activities.”

He was pursued by the authorities for tax evasion, and in 1598 was prosecuted for hoarding grain during a time of shortage.

…

She said the playwright’s funeral monument in Stratford’s Holy Trinity Church reflected this. The original monument erected after his death in 1616 showed Shakespeare holding a sack of grain. In the 18th century, it was replaced with a more “writerly” memorial depicting Shakespeare with a tasseled cushion and a quill pen.

I was a kid when that happened. I lived about 5 miles from the racetrack. I remember the smoke from the fire looking like Godzilla looming over the area.

This is pretty well-known. I’m not sure what the new furor is.

It was new to me, although admittedly, Shakespeare’s history isn’t something I know a whole lot about.

My mom does a lot of Shakespeare. As well as the grain and property dealings, just his play-writing, selling, etc. showed him as a very sharp-sided businessman.

You’d expect it from his plays, too, since lots of them are about really fucking smart people trying to get advantage over each other.
