Thursday Night Jam: Phox

A beautifully subtle NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

I first saw Phox in an impromptu concert at a restaurant in Philadelphia. I thought the band was talented and charming, and I still do. Phox is six friends from Baraboo, Wis., who make pretty, catchy music. The group’s not-so-secret weapon is Monica Martin, who sings with a smoky lilt in front of spare, tasteful instrumentation.

You can hear that warm, accessible sound on Phox’s 2014 debut, which was recorded at Wisconsin’s April Base studio, built by Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and his brother. Touring has tightened this band since that off-the-cuff restaurant performance last year, as this marvelous performance at the Tiny Desk suggests. — BOB BOILEN

Hey y’all. Catching up & saw a new thread. Opportunity!

I have been reading so much since yesterday. The actual report and the reaction to the DOJ rept on Ferguson. I feel this info is mandatory reading for any person here in the USA. Face it, deal with it, help somehow to fix it.

Since slavery, there’s been a concerted systemic effort to keep our African American fellow citizens in a state of deprivation.

Scott Walker political group criticizes Hillary Clinton over use of private email

Gov. Scott Walker’s political nonprofit slammed Hillary Clinton for using a private email system during her time as secretary of state — even though he employed a similar practice as Milwaukee County executive.

According to the Daily Caller, Walker’s Our American Revival group on Thursday criticized Clinton for her exclusive use of private email while heading the U.S. State Department. Walker, a Republican, and Clinton, a Democrat, are both considered likely 2016 candidates for president.

He’s got some nerve.

I’ve learned two things since the Hillary email “scandal” erupted:

1. The press still seems to think it’s 1992, because they’re going after this “scandal” with all the fervor they used to reserve for Whitewater.

2. The GOP field is seriously overplaying this “scandal,” as it seems all the frontrunners are open to questions about their own private email accounts.

What if they are trying to put themselves at just Japan’s level?

While there are currently no known plans in Japan to produce nuclear weapons, it has been argued that Japan has the technology, raw materials, and the capital to produce nuclear weapons within one year if necessary, and some analysts consider it a de facto nuclear state for this reason.[3] For this reason Japan is often said to be a “screwdriver’s turn”[4][5] away from possessing nuclear weapons.

Walker hits Clinton on private email — like one he used as county exec

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s political operation is attacking Hillary Clinton for using a private email account as secretary of state even though Walker had a similar setup in his office when he was Milwaukee County executive.

Walker’s top aides set up a private router in the county executive’s office and used it to trade emails that mixed government and campaign business. Emails released through litigation by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel show Walker routinely used his campaign account — skw@scottwalker.org — to discuss county business.

Court documents show that the county staff responsible for responding to public records requests were unaware of the system Walker’s team used to communicate, so they had no way of checking it when reporters, political opponents or members of the public sought information about county business that must be made available under Wisconsin’s open records law.

Two Walker aides who used the private router were later convicted of misconduct in office for doing political work while they were being paid by taxpayers.

Regarding Hillary’s emails … It must be really bizarre for a public official to engage in some activity openly and clearly for years, and suddenly, years later to be called on it. After all, it’s not like Clinton was hiding her email address. There are tens of thousands of emails there. Everyone must have been clearly aware of what her address was. But then suddenly people decide, well after the fact, that you were breaking a regulation? Weird.

That story reminds me of the remarks made about how the protests in Argentina began after the Falklands War ended with their defeat. About how the citizens had spent weeks being fed BS by the ruling junta, told how well the war was going and how close victory was at hand, and then woke up one day to be told “We totally lost to those damned British and their American supporters!”

I sort of imagine that’s how Republicans felt when, after months of being told about how the polls were “skewed,” how the President’s supporters would fail to show at the polls or there would be this massive uprising of Romney supporters, and how the whole thing was practically in the bag, they awoke to find that Obama was still president and the GOP had been handed their ass at the polls.

Looking at the Google Earth map of the area of the Santa Monica Municipal Airport, if it weren’t for the small (9-hole) golf course being in the flightpath, it’s a pretty safe bet we would be talking about a fatal airplane crash here. For about 3 miles in every direction from the airport is a densely-packed McMansion-style residential area, with most streets being of the tree-lined two lane variety. That golf course was literally the ONLY option he had if he was dealing with an engine failure issue. The only wide-lane option that he would have had would be either on I-10 or I-405, neither of which I would consider a viable alternative.

This wall to wall coverage is too much.

Ok, it is his business if he is bound and determined to join John Denver…but he could have seriously injured or killed non-celebrity daredevils.

FWIK, Ford wasn’t hotdogging it, he had an in-flight engine failure and was able to at least land it, which is not what happened to Denver:

Post-accident investigation by the NTSB showed that the leading cause of the accident was Denver’s inability to execute safely a switch of fuel tanks in flight. The quantity of fuel had been depleted during [Denver’s recently purchased Rutan Long-EZ] transfer to Monterey and in several brief practice takeoffs and landings performed by Denver at the airport immediately prior to the final flight. His newly purchased experimental Rutan had an unusual fuel selector valve handle configuration. Intended by the plane’s designer to be located between the pilot’s legs, the fuel selector had instead been placed by the plane’s builder behind the left shoulder of the pilot, with the fuel gauge also behind the pilot’s seat and thus not visible to the person at the controls.[35][36] An NTSB interview with the aircraft mechanic servicing Denver’s plane revealed that he and Denver had discussed the inaccessibility of the cockpit fuel selector valve handle and its resistance to being turned.[35][36]

Before the flight, Denver and the mechanic had attempted to extend the reach of the handle, using a pair of Vise-Grip pliers.[35][36] However, this did not solve the problem, as the pilot could still not reach the handle while strapped into his seat.[35][36] NTSB investigators’ post-accident investigation showed that given the positioning of the fuel selector valves, switching the craft’s fuel tanks required a pilot to turn his body 90 degrees to reach the valve. This created a natural tendency to extend one’s right foot against the right rudder pedal to support oneself while turning in the seat, causing the aircraft to yaw (move off course) and pitch up.[35][36]

According to the mechanic, after he had noted to Denver that the fuel sight gauges were visible only to the rear cockpit occupant, Denver asked him about the quantity of fuel shown.[35][36] The mechanic told Denver that he had “less than half in the right tank and less than a quarter in the left tank”.[35][36] The mechanic then provided Denver with an inspection mirror so that he could look over his shoulder at the fuel sight gauges; the mirror was later recovered in the wreckage.[35][36] Denver told the mechanic that he would use the autopilot inflight, if necessary, to hold the airplane level while he turned the fuel selector valve.[35][36] Denver declined an offer to take on additional fuel, telling the mechanic that he would only be flying for about one hour.[35][36]

Ford apparently had a mechanical failure, while Denver was flying a new (to him) aircraft that had its fuel tank selector valves in a location that was unreachable in-flight that deviated from the Rutan specs, with a woefully light fuel load.

As weird as it may sound, it’s reminding me of what I read about Howard Hughes and the flight of the XF-11 that ended in a crash. Hughes tried to make for a local golf course, but ended up losing too much altitude and clipping three houses, destroying the third and nearly killing him.

re: #47 WhatEVs

The Washington Post has a good take on how fucked up the Schweich story is:

“At least nobody died,” we often hear in politics to explain away some regrettable act. As in:

So, yeah, maybe President Obama wasn’t telling the complete truth about keeping your doctor, but at least nobody died.

Or: Oh, sure, we said mean things about her, but she can take it. Words aren’t lethal.

With the suicide last week of Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich, we should lay such thoughts to rest. Words do wound and, in this tragic case, they apparently kill.

Schweich, a Republican who had just begun his gubernatorial race, already had come under some ugly fire from an unaffiliated political action committee that mystifyingly calls itself “Citizens for Fairness.” In the group’s poorly written, nasty radio ad, the narrator mimics the Frank Underwood character from “House of Cards” and directs his commentary at Schweich’s appearance. The ad says in part:

“Tom Schweich, like him? No. Is he a weak candidate for governor? Absolutely, just look at him. He can be easily confused for the deputy sheriff of Mayberry. … Once Schweich obtains the Republican nomination, we will quickly squash him like the little bug that he is and put our candidate, Chris Koster, in the governor’s mansion.”

Charming.

Schweich, who has been widely commended by colleagues for his flawless work as state auditor and as a devout Christian who actually acted like one, also felt he was the victim of a “whisper campaign” that he was Jewish.

How disturbing that in 21st-century America somebody thinks that voters can be won over with anti-Semitic bias.

Denver’s fatal error was not tanking up before he took off. Better to have a full talk of fuel than not, especially when topping off the tanks is not that time consuming.

Another error was accepting delivery of a plane with a major malfunction in design.

What’s somewhat amusing is the lack of any outrageous outrage from the RW anti-immigration types. If these mothers were from, say, Guatemala or Iran, it would be apocalyptic in the RWNJ world. But these are Chinese people, so I guess they get a pass.

It does give you a sense of how desperate well-to-do Chinese are to escape China. Many of my middle-class or higher friends dream of moving to America, Canada or some other Western country, because China is too stifling.

China does not allow dual citizenship. Additionally, every Chinese citizen must have a hutong hukou, an identity document that specifies their place of birth. One’s hutong hukouis necessary for everything: getting your ID card, attending school in your hometown (and not elsewhere), getting a passport, etc. Clearly, a baby born in America does not get a hutong hukou although I suppose one could be forged, and if the parents get a legal birth document, it would show the baby was born abroad. I’m unclear whether the baby can be legally considered a Chinese citizen “at large,” as it were, but I do know that, if the child later decides to claim his or her American citizenship, it requires giving up Chinese citizenship.

104 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate  Mar 5, 2015 8:56:27pm

According to Wikipedia, if one or both parents are Chinese nationals, the baby is considered a Chinese national. So, the “birth tourism” mothers’ kids can still be considered Chinese nationals. But, as I said, lack of a hutong hukou and a foreign birth can create other problems of a discriminatory nature later on. Presumably, well-to-do Chinese are better able to deal with these problems than lower income Chinese.

There is. I’ve been exploring retirement options abroad. Ecuador has different residency/citizenship options, but you can speed matters along with a substantial deposit in a Ecuadorian bank, a large investment, or establishment of a locally based business. Retirees without such means can still get residency if they can prove a monthly income of about $1,000 or so, IIRC.

A term that could be used to describe a Congress under Republican control: “Polish parliament”

“Polish parliament” is an expression referring to the historical Polish parliaments (Sejm walny).[1] It implies chaos and general disorder, and that no real decision can be reached during sessions.

Origin
Any single member of the Polish parliament during the 17th and 18th century had an absolute veto (Latin: liberum veto), meaning that decisions could often only be made with great difficulty. Originally, the procedure was used for technical issues such as points of order, but came to be abused. Today, the expression is mostly used to describe an assembly that is too easy for minorities or individuals to disrupt and/or has too many parties present for meaningful and orderly debate and decision-making to take place.

The expression is found in several European languages, including all Scandinavian languages.

He’s saying that wolves are bad because they cull those tasty deer and don’t let them get overpopulated and die of starvation which is bad because it when human’s aren’t the only predators killing deer it makes Jesus’ penis soft. The analogy here is that homeless people are like deer, and that us city folk manage, stalk, hunt and eat the homeless and that the reason we don’t release gray wolves in the cities is because the would compete with ut get in the way of our insatiable cannibalistic hunger / bloodlust for human flesh.

In other words, “shit, he’s onto us.”

Teh poorz have fallen from grace with God. It’s part of the dispensationalist, neo-Calvinist thread in some fundie theologies. If you pray a lot, tithe your 10% and follow God’s rules, he will bless you (as in make you rich). But there are still poor and homeless people, so in this line of thought, they have not done such godly stuff, and so God has punished them.

Yeah. Faith over works is the general fundie message, which also helps explain why they’re so willing to excuse bad behavior once the perpetrator says he has prayed for forgiveness and received it from God. Remember, these people assume we are born sinful and can only remain godly through great effort, so straying sheep are expected to misbehave from time to time. It’s a feature, not a bug.

“A school has defended its decision to stop a pupil taking part in World Book Day celebrations while wearing a Fifty Shades Of Grey costume.

“Liam Scholes, 11, caused a stir when he arrived at Sale High School in Trafford, Greater Manchester dressed as the erotic romance novel’s male protagonist Christian Grey.

Did You Know That Louis Armstrong Wore a Star of David?

Louis Armstrong was born August 4, 1901, in a section of New Orleans that was so violent that it was called the battlefield. His father was a day laborer named William Armstrong, and left the family and his children rarely saw him. His mother was 16 years old when she had him. He grew up in such poverty that he often didn’t know when his next meal was going to come.

The Karnofskys were a financially poor but loving family towards Armstrong. They provided a bed, food and shelter, and even included him in their Shabbat dinners. Armstrong had helped the father with his horse-and-wagon hauling business delivering coal. Each day as they passed a particular store, Armstrong pointed to an old cornet in the window, a cornet he couldn’t hope to buy but longed to play. One day, Mr. Karnofsky stopped at the store, walked in and came out with the cornet. He handed it to Armstrong and told him he could work it off. They helped him to purchase his very first instrument.

Louis Armstrong proudly spoke fluent Yiddish, loved matzah, had a mezuzah, and always wore a Star of David around his neck, which was given to him for good luck by another Jew who played a significant part in Armstrong’s life, his manager, Joe Glaser. He listened to the Yiddish melodies the mother often sang to her children — later in life, these melodies would find their way into his own music.

Anyway, what bothers me is that people are now saying that since someone allegedly confirmed* that the server was in her house, the story was not bogus. But it was, it was based on bogus premises, and if the conclusion turned out to be true, it’s purely by chance and doesn’t take the blame off the “journalist”.

Green tip ammo is popular with plinkers and gun fuckers who otherwise don’t know what the hell they’re doing. I load my own rounds for target shooting, as does everyone else in handgun metallic silhouette. Other target shooters either load their own or purchase “match” ammo.

You can read about it here.

Here’s the specific information.

The NATO standard, NATO symbol, M855 round is intended for use against light matériel targets and personnel, but not vehicles. Identified by a green tip, the 62 grain projectile is constructed of a lead alloy core topped by a steel penetrator, the whole contained within a gilding (copper alloy) metal jacket. The primer and case are waterproof. (See representative cartridge drawing.) Despite the round’s penetration abilities, BATF has specifically exempted it from the AP ban.

To me the SR71 demonstrates that government specs for combat equipment suck. The SR71 was designed privately without government input and did what it was designed to do; fly high and fast so you could look at things in relative safety.

Compare that to the F35 which is trying to be all things to all people and failing miserably.

It’s a fuckup that the senior diplomat of the most powerful country in the world (sole remaining superpower) would have an e-mail in his/her own home instead of a government e-mail server. I’d say that if it was Dem or GOP.

As an old IT hand my concern is more about the security of a private mail server used by a US Secretary of State. The emails of any SoS would be of keen interest to other nations and while the gov provides the most robust possible security I do wonder whether the people who set up Clinton’s server provided an equivalent level of security.

Well, if we are to believe some of the stuff we hear about the Clinton’s love of secrecy, then that server might be the toughest in the world to hack into.

She probably decided the government servers were not secure enough.

Per our governor, Icky Nikki, “It’s a great day in South Carolina.” And if you work for the gov’t, you’d damn well better say it every time your answer the phone.

Haley issued the order at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, saying the phrase will put workers in a better mood and remind them that they work for the public. She also says the public will feel better, too.

Speaking as a member of the public, I beg to differ.

(Our Dem chair at the time had the perfect response “it’s a great day for someone living in the Governor’s Mansion.”)

Here Are The 379 Companies Urging The Supreme Court To Support Same-Sex Marriage

Big business has come out in favor of same-sex marriage.

Exactly 379 corporations and employer organizations urged the Supreme Court to strike down state bans on gay marriage, according to a friend-of-the-court brief obtained by The Huffington Post. The document was expected to be filed late Thursday morning.

“Employers are better served by a uniform marriage rule that gives equal dignity to employee relationships,” reads the brief, filed by global law firm Morgan Lewis. “Allowing same-sex couples to marry improves employee morale and productivity, reduces uncertainty, and removes the wasteful administrative burdens imposed by the current disparity of state law treatment.”

I guess the RWNJs will simply have to not purchase from or do any business with any of these companies, since by supporting the companies, they would be endorsing SSM and violating their religious principles. After all, you can get by without products from Microsoft, Apple, Google, not fly on American, United, Delta or Alaskan Airlines, not get anything from Target, Amazon, Staples or Office Depot.

Back from court. It was only a first appearance; I applied for a court-appointed atty and got one after pleading not guilty. No dismissal, there was just a pro-forma proceeding at which about 50 or 60 people showed up, about all of them traffic violations. Seems like Grandma was the only one with bad-ass charges, assault and “injury” to private property. They got to us (after getting rid of the continuances) by the judge first questioning those who said they’d represent themselves or would get their own attorney, and then those of us who applied for a public defender. Took about 2-1/2 hrs to get out of there.

Obama Derangement Syndrome is real, scary, and getting worse.

Conservative columnist can’t mourn Nimoy’s death because Spock reminds him of Obama

The editor in chief of the fucktarded conservative Washington Free Beacon published a rant column today in which he outlined why he felt “apathetic” about the passing of Leonard Nimoy — his iconic character, Spock, reminds him too much of Teh Black Man President Barack Obama.

Editor’s note: The right-to-work bill passed by Wisconsin lawmakers bans labor contracts requiring workers to pay union fees, the Journal Sentinel reports. The controversial bill was approved after 24 hours of debate in the state Assembly. State Democrats say the bill is an attack on workers, and Republicans say the bill would help businesses and is about freedom for workers. - Stephanie

(snip)

“The legislation prohibits the decades-old practice of contracts being signed between businesses and unions requiring private-sector workers to pay labor fees. The federal Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 allowed states to pass such legislation — one of the few areas where states can affect private-sector unions. So far, 24 other states have passed right-to-work.” More

The new “Jesus series” probably full of hype for the omnivorous audiences:

wndu.com
Filmed in Morocco with a massive cast and crew, “A.D. The Bible Continues” creators sought to capture the grit of the times with the epic stories woven throughout the Bible.

“But also bringing the Bible story to the screen brings with it a responsibility and we certainly take that very seriously. We worked with scholars and Bible advisers and pastors, priests to make sure we told the story accurately and authentically, and then we pulled from the historian Josephis and other historians at the time to tell the story as authentically as we can.”

The 12-part series starts Easter Sunday on WNDU/NBC.

This. Plus we know for certain that Testimonium Flavianum was tampered with, which means that its authenticity as a whole is in doubt (claims of “more authentic” versions in some Arabic translations notwithstanding - they were later shown to have been derived from the tampered TF).

The minor reference to James, brother of Jesus “called the Christ” was, convincingly in my opinion, shown to refer to Jesus ben Damneus, with “called the Christ” being most probably an accidental interpolation.

Exactly. The whole thing about Jesus that so much of the modern right wing doesn’t get is that He was just some random peasant. If the idea that Jesus was God as One Of Us has any truth at all, then he could not have been anything else. Just someone barely making enough to keep his family alive and learning Torah and Mishnah as best as he could with a burning heart in the evening after everything else was done. Would that I were so good a man…

I’m also reminded of the story of Hillel not being able to afford the cost of a lesson in the Torah one day so he sat by a window to hear the teaching and sat so still to hear it that he became covered in snow. The teachers were so impressed by his devotion to the Torah that they let him in after that. I like to believe that the carpenter’s son had a similar desire for the Torah in his heart.

While at the courthouse, g-son and I checked w/the magistrate who said the woman who attacked me had not been served with a summons yet.

She’s hiding from the summons.

Is the summons being service by a private process server or sheriff deputy?

Typically - service by deputies doesn’t happen as often as by a private process server. Or as quickly.

As you may well know, if by deputy, and they are unable to serve the defendant, the summons will be returned as no service.

Then ask your public defender if they know of a “bulldog” process server (you may have to ask around), and get it into their hands. If you have to pay for private process, to speed up the process, it shouldn’t cost more than $50 - $60.

Shmuley Boteach wrote Kosher Jesus but given Shmuley’s tendency for bullshit and his appeal to the wingnutty demographic I don’t know how much actual historical, scholarly or theological value this book has, if any.

Apparently this#article/part1">#article/part1”> “rehoming” is not as rare as one might think (or hope.) In some cases the adoptive parents are desperate because their children have problems that were not revealed by the adoption agency and they are unable to get help through any social service agency.

Obviously, the people willing to take troubled children may not have their best interests at heart. This a societal failure on many levels.

Your comment was apparently cut off.
Anyway, the refs in the Talmud are all purely polemical - e.g. the names of Jesus’ 5 disciples are just made up in order to assign the biblical verses to them. It is futile to search for real history in them. If Jesus existed, the info about him must be gathered from the earliest sources (such as Paul or “Mark”), not from later interreligious polemics, and acc. to the earliest sources he was crucified by the Romans. Interestingly, there are also relatively late apocryphal gospels with an antisemitic bent which outright say that Jesus was crucified by Jews on Herod’s whim - which is a historical impossibility, since it was not a halakhic method of execution (which is why in the Talmud Jesus’ method of execution was changed into stoning with the subsequent hanging of the corpse).
