The Marine Transportation Security Act of 2002 requires vessels and port facilities to conduct vulnerability assessments and develop security plans including passenger, vehicle and baggage screening procedures; security patrols; establishing restricted areas; personnel identification procedures; access control measures; and/or installation of surveillance equipment.
Under the same law, port facility operators may have access to Coast Guard security incident response plans -- that is, they would know how the Coast Guard plans to counter and respond to terrorist attacks.


GravatarAlright, I won't shoot threadbot. However, I will taser it.

GravatarTena, can you grow geraniums (not the ball-headed pellargoniums that are called geraniums, but single-flowered species geraniums) in Colorado? I had them in Ohio, and nothing ever bothered them. I just had to divide them every few years. And they're very pretty.


GravatarEvery summer I spend way more than I ever mean to on my garden in Colorado. And every year the perennials I put out get eaten or just die. *sigh*

The annuals in planters are lovely - as long as the cages stay on them.


Tena, One of my big problems is that I like lots of annuals, like coleus. It's one thing to spend big bucks on a perinneal that will come back or bulbs that will duplicate, but I've got to stop spending so much on annuals. My ultimate plan, once I save up about sixty thou and hire a landscaper, is to replace the tree in my front yard, a deciduous magnolia, with something small and horizontal like a japanese maple and just put mulch around it instead of annuals.


GravatarBarndog, Sounds good. Reminds me of Bliss. And Wheatland.

GravatarLindsay - on the geraniums - yes, we can and I have been growing them in planters. The chipmunks don't eat them, but they pick the fucking petals off and taste them, just to check. Again.

Still, they are one of the more successful flowers. They also don't eat alyssum, so I plant a lot of it, too.

It's just an annual up there, though I have seen it seed itself occasionally.

Karin


Well, not really. A ramada, out here, is an extended overhang from the main roof. It's a shading mechanism - we figured out long ago that the heat is cut by about half if you can just provide shade. So, putting up a ramada on the west side of my house - a roof extension of about 6-8' supported by slender pillars - should knock off about $75/month off my cooling bill this summer. Now, if I wanted to just leave the ramada open - trellised - that'd be a different thing. That could be an arbor or support vines or whatever. In this case tho, I'll be paving underneath the ramada, with plain brick - thus maximising the cooling on the west side of the house. Also, Arthur really likes to lie around on a nice cool brick surface with a shady overhang. Me too of course.


GravatarWisteria, if it grows well can cover a very large horizontal trellis. Not only bees will like it, but in the spring small birds will nest in the thicket.

BTW, what bird makes a nest that looks like a fuzzy socks, about size 3 or 5.

GravatarBTW, what bird makes a nest that looks like a fuzzy socks, about size 3 or 5.

The Dodo.


GravatarFrom Glenn Greenwald's "Prepare the noose for Bill Buckley".
This is a real question: by the standards which have become commonplace among Bush followers, isn’t Bill Buckley clearly a traitor? We are (of course) in the middle of a war. That war (in Iraq) is the central front in another war we're fighting (the War on Terror, a/k/a the War of Civilizations, World War III, World War IV, the Long War). To surrender in Iraq is -- to use the White House's formulation -- to "surrender to the terrorists." Bill Buckley is clearly on the other side - the side of terrorists. And what a coward he is.

Worse, there are American troops in harm’s way and here is Bill Buckley declaring that Bush has lost the war and should acknowledge America's defeat. Doesn’t Buckley owe the troops an apology? He should be spat on by the families of those troops.

This really is the lowly point to which Bush followers have dragged this country. To oppose the American war in Iraq -- a war that is turning out to be the greatest and most disastrous strategic mistake this country has ever made – has long been sufficient for one to be branded a coward and a subversive. To question the President’s policies on terrorism has resulted in even more severe accusations.

Bill Buckley has now unmasked himself as a cowardly, anti-American ally of Al Qaeda. He wants to wave the white flag to terrorists, and has sabatoged the Commander-in-Chief’s war effort by declaring it a failure. Shouldn’t we bring criminal charges against Buckley, along with demands that he be hanged? On what ground can any of the Bush followers who have long equated opposition to the war with subversion and treason -- and who branded Howard Dean a traitor for a statement identical to the one Buckley made -- oppose those efforts?

The great patriot and American hero Ben Shapiro can prepare Buckley’s noose while that brave American warrior Michael Reagan places the hood over his head and those lovers of American values Michelle Malkin and John Hinderaker lead the throngs as they yell "traitor" and "coward" at Buckley while his neck snaps. That’s the horrendous image which has come to represent the sad, almost-psychotic state of political dialogue which Bush followers have imposed on our country. And that’s just one of the comparatively small harms which the Bush movement has inflicted on America which is going to take quite some time to repair.


GravatarShall we invest in popcorn futures?

GravatarI hate gaybashers

yer just giving the freaks what they want - they're to be pitied - truly it's hard not to want to thrash such people but resist - maybe it'll teach them a lesson - not likely but why give them the satisfaction - do what I do - insult their loveless mothers - ignorance runs so deep in people like this it has to come from the home - it's definitely not in that book!

GravatarI was in the middle of your "mastery" conversation downstairs when a email alerting me to a NYT article on meat came in.

At first, when I'd heard about this carbon-monoxide-to-keep-it-red thing, I figured it's 'cause folks associate red with fresh. And so they won't buy stuff that's slightly discolored even if it's fresh. But, turns out, clever meat industry, they can actually sell spoiled meat that looks fresh and people don't discover it 'til they get home.

Don't get me wrong. Don Knotts was smart, not stupid like Ineffectual Boy Eunuch. I'm comparing signature bloviated character Barney Fife to numbskull.

liberal means fair, open minded and generous - look it up fool - so you're against fair open minded and generousness? yeah we're evil all right -

and to make it worse you are happy these soldiers lives are ruined? You are sick and need help - where is your christian spirit? where is your love for your fellow man - have you read the new testament or are you too lazy and stupid and you let some televangelist do it for you?

see a psychiatrist - I can save you some money and time - he'll tell you that your father hated you and that it's weird to want to fuck your mother so resist the urge

GravatarSince there's a theatre theme here, allow to to repeat a story about Joseph Papp, NY theatrical impressario and founder of the Shakespeare in the Park series.

Papp was a pioneer of color-blind casting, much to the annoyance of--you guessed it--the NY Times, who found a black Claudius and a Puerto Rican Ophelia terrible distractions in Denmark.

I loved Papp's response: "Theatre is performed by actors. Just what city do you think you live in?"

GravatarI love thick lips. I love thin lips. I love in between lips. I love all lips.

From memory, because I can't find it on Google: Doc in Cannery Row loved women with full lips, "because if there is no fullness there, where will there be fullness."

But he accepted women who created full-looking lips with lipstick, because that showed a fullness of spirit.

Damn, we need John Steinbeck right about now. Damn, I wish Ed Ricketts hadn't been hit by a train.

In Tombstone, yes. I'm looking forward to what my contractor guy actually produces. This is the same guy who, in the midst of expanding my house, turned to the rest of the group and said "Say.

I just write checks.

Yeah, and IIRC it was okay, but jeez, the real thing... Steinbeck's other stuff, like his short story where the Communist evangelists are equated with Christ as the townspeople beat them with clubs. And "The Log From the Sea of Cortez", and the classic and still fascinating "Between Pacific Tides."

GravatarTIA Lives On

By Shane Harris, National Journal
İ National Journal Group Inc.
Thursday, Feb. 23, 2006

A controversial counter-terrorism program, which lawmakers halted more than two years ago amid outcries from privacy advocates, was stopped in name only and has quietly continued within the intelligence agency now fending off charges that it has violated the privacy of U.S. citizens.

Research under the Defense Department's Total Information Awareness program -- which developed technologies to predict terrorist attacks by mining government databases and the personal records of people in the United States -- was moved from the Pentagon's research-and-development agency to another group, which builds technologies primarily for the National Security Agency, according to documents obtained by National Journal and to intelligence sources familiar with the move. The names of key projects were changed, apparently to conceal their identities, but their funding remained intact, often under the same contracts.

GravatarWhen I was a kid, my parents raised Dobermans, so our doggie dor was a giant one. Actually it was two doors, with a roomlet to keep the heat inside. The Dobies liked that room the best, go figure.

The mother of these pups was a perfect show dog. She knew a Freeze command and my dad could pick her up in pose and carry her about like a statue. The father was ungainly but impressive just for being huge.

One thing about Dobies--They're not any good figuring things out for themselves. You can teach them anything a dog might do and they're eager to learn. But give them anything puzzling? No dice


GravatarWell. How do you feel about having an 80lb doggie try to crawl under your pillow?

From way upstream. I had chocolate cake in the middle. Yes, White Flower Farm is flowerporn par excellence. Some of their things are well worth the price. Bellflowers, for example, are never so blue from any other source. But I have killed too many of their baby plants to buy any this year.

My real problem is this size fetish I have. I end up buying anything if they say it will reach six feet in height, so my back yard looks like a jungle in late summer. The dogs make tunnels inbetween but otherwise it can't be accessed.

GravatarGoodnight, you princes and princess of the American dream. I have to go to bed and listen to what the wind is trying to say.

Sleep deeply and dream true. Wake to coffee, and sun, and warmth. Do what you were born to do -- and do it right now.

Bells in the Rain

Sleep falls, with limpid drops of rain,
Upon the steep cliffs of the town.
Sleep falls; men are at peace again
While the small drops fall softly down.

The bright drops ring like bells of glass
Thinned by the wind, and lightly blown;
Sleep cannot fall on peaceful grass
So softly as it falls on stone.

Peace falls unheeded on the dead
Asleep; they have had deep peace to drink;
Upon a live man's bloody head
It falls most tenderly, I think.

GravatarOh Eli, that furniture is MUCH more attractive than the lucite chairs. Hell, a bean bag chair has 100 times the charm of that soulless crap.


GravatarWow, watching Bruce Bartlett on C-span interviewed by James Pinkerton. Bartlett complains about congressional behavior under the republicans, sites the threats made to the gov't actuary because they didn't like his estimate of the cost of the drug plan. So Pinkerton says "Isn't that just typical Washington politics?" What the fuck do you do with someone like this? Yeah Jim we've always made laws based on outight lies. How is that plan working out for everyone? Man oh man oh man. Look in the mirror, Pinkerton, if you can, and see the problem in Washington today.

He had listened to some radio talk show that had apparently had four guys on that where "experts" that had all ripped Bush selling out to his butt buddies in the ME.

If this story has reached down to the apolitical like him, Bush is going to think that 17% approval of the port deal was the good days.

GravatarRuns in the family.

This shithead thinks Bush is wonderful; I guess criminals stick together:

ORWELL, Ohio - Boxing promoter Don King's daughter was charged with felony drug possession following her arrest last week in which police say they found drug paraphernalia and suspected crack cocaine while searching her car.

Deborah King-Lee pleaded not guilty Feb. 10. She has a pretrial hearing Wednesday.

Police arrested the 44-year-old woman Feb. 9, saying they found suspected crack cocaine in a metal tin, a marijuana pipe inside a purse and a crack pipe in a cigarette box on the dashboard.

King-Lee, of Windsor Township, pleaded not guilty to the drug possession charge and a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. She also pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence, driving a vehicle under suspension, driving without a valid license and obstructed license plates.

"Debbie King at this time maintains her innocence," said her lawyer, Stanley Jackson Jr. "The King family supports Debbie King during these trying times. The family would appreciate some privacy at this time."

Her car was registered to Don King Productions in Deerfield Beach, Fla., police said. Her father, who rose from the gambling halls of Cleveland to promote champions from Muhammad Ali to Mike Tyson, has a training camp and home in Orwell, about 40 miles from Cleveland.

Where I am is too humid for hollyhocks. They all get rust, and so do the phlox (?). Clematis does all right if I remember to sweeten the soil but I forget to keep up with it.

Hundreds of Iraqis are being tortured to death or summarily executed each month by death squads attached to the Interior Ministry in Baghdad, the UN's former human rights chief in Iraq has told The Independent on Sunday.

The death squads' activities are contributing to sectarian violence, which claimed at least 50 lives yesterday. A car bomb in the Shia holy city of Karbala killed at least eight people, and at least three members of the security forces died in an attack on the funeral of a murdered TV reporter.

Much more fun to watch!

"Opposite of Sex" is great. I loved "YOu Can Count." If you love Laura Linney you need to see "The Squid and the Whale."

But reading is an activity that's different than sports-watching. Being a fan of Nascar racing isn't inherently better or worse than being a fan of pro football, pro basketball, pro hockey, pro baseball, ice skating, etc.


GravatarI guess they're amusing *themselves*, and that's the most important thing, right?

I cornered our resident parody human a few weeks ago, and he admitted as much (he thinks his posts are "hilarious"). He's been spending most of his time here recently posting as "jack", but he's used many names (often half a dozen on a single thread). He started trolling here as Shoelimpy a few months ago, during which time he was boasting about his exploits on his own blog...

http://shoelimpy.blogspot.com/ 20...hypocrites.html

As revealed on his shoelimpy blog, his real name is Allen Butler. He has actually written some anti-Bush articles. For example...

GravatarAgent Orange, I inherited a lot of ground ivy, too, when I bought the house. And violets. They are both very beautiful weeds. The ivy is fairly easy to pull up, so over time it has diminished, but the violets are tough. I read that they have buds under ground and that these produce seeds, too. On the other side, the violets have decided to move to the neighbors' lots so I'm happy.


GravatarOh hell, José IS wearing a red shirt.

I had a meeting at Starbucks on thursday. I felt so dirty.


UH OH!! LAVA!!! better run.


Gravatar My other favorite ground covers are White Nancy Spotted Dead Nettle and sweet woodruff.

Sweet woodruff smells divine. I had a lot of it but it has disappeared in the last few years.

I use cotoneasters for ground cover over a small slope. They look great against the snow with the red berries in winter and have nice white flowers in the summer. The only disadvantage is raking leaves out of them.


Gravatar"Volcano in New York"

Sweet. I love movies when they put volcanoes in a place where no volcanism actually exists.

My favorite bit in "Volcano" is where Anne Heche tells Tommy Lee Jones that magma is going to rise up from beneath downtown LA. "What's magma?" asks disaster expert Jones. "Lava," replies Heche.

Priceless.


Gravatar Oh hell, José IS wearing a red shirt.

Union guys always wear red on Thursday. I'm serious. At least in the CWA.


GravatarEchidne --
Well, no money changed hands



Everyone is talking about a bad sci-fi movie or ground cover -- why can't we have another one of those nice threads where the Atriesses talked about bra sizes?



GravatarEchidne of the snakes | Homepage | 02.25.06 - 9:18 pm

At my previous home I had lots of violets which I frankly enjoyed. I would cut the grass high the first couple of times in the early season to preserve the blooms. The problem with the ground ivy at my current house is that it's in what were (and are) the perrenial beds.


GravatarSo, no one has discussed this.

What did the guy do to prompt Darth Cheney to shoot him in the face?

GravatarI like hunter green, actually.
Terry C, Coldplayer


About 20 years ago in another lifetime, my wife and I bought a Craftsman style house built around 1928.

We fixed it all up. I painted the front door hunter green as it was the all the rage at the time.

Red brick, yellow-brown trim, and a hunter green front door. Looked Ok.

We were back there at Christmas. The trim was painted a different color, but the front door was still hunter green.

Yes, they did fail. Laura Linney is teh hot. I just watched a movie called "P.S." in which she has a very erotic sex scene with Topher Grace. I thought I was going to pass out.

Gravel, sadly.


GravatarMy neighbors think I'm nuts when they see me pulling ground ivy and other weeds out of the lawn by hand. But I refuse to use herbicides and I find weed pulling to be very therapeutic. I don't know why I like it, I think maybe it's a type of primate grooming behavior.


GravatarI use cotoneasters for ground cover over a small slope.
And who knew that the major accent was on the second syllable on cotoneasters. I used to call it "cotton Easters".

It's like biting my nails or something. Fun though perhaps not very efficient. I don't use herbicides at all because of the dogs, so I get all the earthworms and all the birds in the area. Ok by me.

Gravatarmasculine_monica_nyc | 02.25.06 - 9:16 pm | #

Of course your sentiment is accurate, but NASCAR has now been identified with a specific political outlook, and I'm afraid fans will seek a pack mentality, going along regardless of their interests.

I'd like to think of the typical NASCAR fan as a rowdy rebel who can choose his own beliefs, but I'm not seeing so much lately.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I live in GA and observe


GravatarHas anyone read the Jimmy Breslin book about sandhogs, Table Money?
Great book.


GravatarThanks Agent Orange, but with your name I wouldn't think you had any unwanted foliage problems, if you know what I mean.


GravatarMy real name is Christopher, and I'd never heard the nickname "Topher" until I went to college and met prep school guys. This was around the time Nancy Reagan had an assistant named Muffy--a woman in her 50s--so little surprised me about prep school customs.

I consistently felt left out from college with my suburban middle class background. The wealthy really are different, and their nickname habit is a symptom, as if they know each other by such names, others excluded. I was Chris, not one of them.


GravatarSo, no one has discussed this.
