England fail to convince
After all the talk of Sven-Goran Eriksson's brave new world, it was all horribly familiar for England in Frankfurt this afternoon. They beat Paraguay 1-0 in their opening World Cup match, but rarely can victory have been so unfulfilling.
The sapping heat was straight out of the last tournament in Korea/Japan, and so was England's dismal inability to quicken the pulse. They deserved to win, but only because Paraguay were even more incompetent.
The high temperatures made for a soporific, one-paced match which drifted lazily back and forth - or, in the second half, forth and forth towards England's goal - but that cannot excuse the appalling ball-retention of Eriksson's side. Michael Owen looked painfully rusty, exposing the preposterous folly of not picking Jermain Defoe, and apart from the excellent Joe Cole there was a predictable lack of flair. This will not have frightened Trinidad & Tobago, never mind Brazil.
87 mins: This is a stirring fightback from the Ivory Coast - they are throwing players forward as they look for that equaliser. Argentina goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri does well to gather a difficult cross.

A win enough to keep the pub happy
It may have been an own-goal but we still won - that seemed to be the majority view in The Hill, a flag-laden pub in Birmingham city centre.
England kicked off their 2006 World Cup campaign in Frankfurt, and while most fans would have loved to have been there, if you couldn't be in Germany what better place to watch the game than Frankfurt's twin town of Birmingham?
A queue had formed outside the pub before it opened its doors two hours ahead of kick-off and there were few people not dressed in red and white.

Look at the fucking size of this catfish, which is safe from all of 60 fisherman (wow!) in the Mekong Delta as a guesture to the much beloved Thai king.
In fact larry Johnson agees:
"When the United States decapitated the Colombian drug cartels in the early 90s, they fragmented and became more difficult to control. And, they became more violent. We saw a similar phenomenon in Algeria with the Armed Islamic Group. You cannot combat an insurgency thru counter terrorism tactics alone. That's a lesson the Bush Administration still has not grasped."
Echidne, I'm not sure I tuned in from the beginning, but this morning Draco posted a series of appallingly piteous comments about his physical state. I'm not going back to refresh my memory, but he said he'd been vomiting for days, was debilitated and probably dehydrated, and felt somewhat disoriented.
I'm probably mixing up his own stated symptoms with the Peanut Gallery's opinions, but the gist of it was that he sounded like he was in seriously bad shape and needed urgent medical attention.
Unfortunately, his complaints were mixed in with absurd apologies for offering such unappealing comments, and various seemingly-rhetorical questions asking for advice in how to deal with this crisis. Obviously he wasn't so out of it that he couldn't organize his thoughts or communicate.
Despite repeated concerned, supportive, and firm urging to call 911, get to an emergency ward, now, and worry about the liability afterwards, Draco signed off with a comment feebly apologizing and thanking everyone, and remarking that he was going back to bed.
Worrisome, but exasperating.

Fourteen killed in Iraq as violence rages on
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Bombs killed nine people in Baghdad and gunmen shot dead five butchers in Mosul on Saturday, as President Bush warned that killing al Qaeda's leader in Iraq would not end violence.
Bush said U.S. and Iraqi forces will capitalize on the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi by cracking down on insurgents trying to regroup after losing their leader, blamed for some of Iraq's bloodiest attacks since the U.S. invasion in 2003.
"Coalition and Iraqi forces are seizing this moment to strike the enemies of freedom in Iraq at this time of uncertainty for their cause," he said in a weekly radio address.
But Bush, signaling that the United States was not ready to start scaling back its military presence of 130,000 troops despite Wednesday's killing of the Jordanian militant, also warned that violence may get worse in coming weeks.
And what's going on in Somalia right now?
That kinda backfired.

Somalia's Future Hinges on Victors' Laws
Islamic militants in Somalia have succeeded where the United Nations, the United States and a gallery of warlords and clan elders failed: They have, for now, brought peace to Mogadishu.
But having defeated a U.S.-backed alliance of secular warlords, they must unite a country whose political, religious and clan divisions have rendered it lawless, destitute and a hideout for al-Qaida terrorists and criminals for 15 years.
Success may depend on who prevails among the victors themselves: religious moderates who want to restore traditional Somali society or those seeking a strict, Taliban-like Islamic republic.
"These guys are battling internally to decide whether to go for a draconian, sharia law-based administration or whether they're going to be generally laissez faire," said John Prendergast, a senior adviser with the International Crisis Group, which monitors conflict zones.
They knew it was a South Carolina hammerhead because it only had three teeth.

how long will it take to establish that the killinh of zarqawi accomplished exactly nothing, except possibly uniting his supporters?
x 1 week
x 1 month
x in another 6 months or so
Killing Zarqawi is the equivalent of averting a Haditha every other day in Iraq, indefinitely.
Doesn't mean a goddamned thing.
It assumes there won't be anymore Hadithas. If there is, then the reasoning fails because Zarqawi is dead yet we've continue to kill innocents.
Yeah, I vaguely caught on to the apparent premise that with Zarqawi gone, there won't be any more terrorist attacks to provoke our troops into atrocities.
Riiiiight.
That's one catfish you couldn't catch by "noodling".

Probably should make a fella, especially a little fella, think twice before going for a dip. The Danube catfish, which don't get nearly that big are known to take ducks and small mammals.

When are these morons going to acknowledge that Iraq is now a civil war? It is not terrorists, it is Iraq's own people who are killing each other.
And it is all because Bush the Stupid decided to show daddy how much of man he is.

US doctors begin Zarqawi autopsy
Two US doctors have begun an autopsy on the body of top militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, killed in a US-led operation in Iraq this week.
Questions have arisen over how Zarqawi died since the Americans revealed he had still been alive following the bombing of a safe house by US planes.
It is unclear if Zarqawi's remains will be released to his family in Jordan.
President George W Bush said US-led and Iraqi forces would use Zarqawi's death to crack down on insurgents.
But he said the efforts would require more sacrifice and continued patience from the American people.

Zarqawi was apparently given up by his own people. Rumour has it Bin Laden was non too impressed with his methods. He must have been pretty useless to be given over by his own side.
Also, from the moment the US caught Saddam, the propaganda from the US military was that Zarqawi was the next big fish to catch. One former US general boasted it was one of the most successful propaganda operations they have done.

from the Nat'l Geo article (we have trouble believing some of this)
Although the Mekong giant catfish may be the largest species of catfish, thousands of other species of catfish exist. According to John Lundberg, researcher with the All Catfish Species Inventory, 2,800 species of catfish have already been described and an additional 1,500 species may yet be discovered. "One out of every four freshwater fish, one out of ten fishes, and one out of twenty vertebrates…is a catfish." Catfish are found on every continent except Antarctica and in fresh, coastal, and marine waters. They are perhaps the most ecologically and economically important group of fish in the world.

Questions over London terror raid
Questions are being asked about how the police and intelligence services handled an anti-terror raid in east London after the release of two men.
Brothers Abul Koyair, 20, and Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, who was shot during the raid, were freed without charge.
Muslim Council of Britain chief Mohammed Abdul Bari said: "The question the community raises is the genuineness of the intelligence."
Police have defended the raid and said inquiries are ongoing.
Officers are continuing their search for chemical materials elsewhere after finding nothing at the house in Lansdown Road, Forest Gate, since the operation on 2 June.

Somali govt urges Islamists to hand over arms
MOGADISHU, June 10 (Reuters) - Somalia's interim government has called on Islamist gunmen, who seized Mogadishu from an alliance of warlords, to hand over their weapons in the hope a disarmament would allow lawmakers to return to the capital.
Militia loyal to sharia courts wrested control of Mogadishu on Monday from a self-styled anti-terrorism coalition of warlords, widely believed to be backed by Washington, after a three-month battle that killed 350 people.
The government has welcomed the defeat of the warlords, who many blame for undermining it, and is in talks with Islamic leaders to persuade them to support the administration.
So far the government, formed in late 2004 in the relative security of Kenya, has failed to assert any real authority over the country.
Dammit! I wanted to show that to Paul, no not that one.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, June 10, 2006; D01
-Companies that provide Web-based telecommunications services must allow wiretapping by law enforcement officials, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday.
-The ruling upholds a Federal Communications Commission decision that companies such as Vonage Holdings Corp., the country's largest provider of Internet phone service, are under the same legal obligation as telephone companies. The requirement for a wiretap-compatible system could mean higher expenses for broadband service companies, and it marks the further spread of regulation into Internet phone services.
-The American Council on Education, worried that the FCC directive would place new costs on university networks, challenged the FCC decision and argued that information services should be exempt from the law.(the number one exemption is lknown as IOKIYAR)
-The court ruled that private networks, such as those at universities, are exempt. Peer-to-peer communications, such as instant messaging programs, are also beyond the law's reach because they communicate between computers.
-Matthew A. Brill, a lawyer with Latham & Watkins LLP in Washington who argued the case, said he was disappointed the FCC ruling was upheld but "pleased the court recognized the law exempts private networks, which was one of our goals(so the White House blackberries escape the kind of regulation we'll encounter as citizens)."
-He said he is considering whether to appeal.
-The requirement for equipment compatible with government surveillance could "impose significant costs to anyone who wants to install a [commercial] broadband network," said Philip J. Weiser, a professor of law and telecommunications at the University of Colorado.
-"Any provider of broadband networks now needs to make accounts wire-tappable," he said. "That's not the way they're engineered and it's certainly not the cheapest way."(so naturally the excuse for raising rates occurs, what it essentially does is weed out smaller regional and communtiy providers)
-Those costs most likely will squeeze company profits rather than be passed on to customers, said Blair Levin, who analyzes telecommunication regulation for Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., a financial services firm.
-"The trend is to bring the Internet voice business model into parity with traditional voice business models, and that trend will continue," he said.
-Further regulation of Web-based phone services probably will continue as well. Legislation already has passed forcing Internet phone providers to connect emergency calls to local 911 dispatchers, which has been challenged by several providers. The FCC also may require Internet phone companies to pay into a fund for universal telephone service(well remember how the NOLA papers were able to give great coverage...now they'll have their network shut down in such situations, Mission Accomplished).

Abbas announces July referendum
The Palestinian Authority president has set 26 July as the date for a controversial referendum on a statehood plan that implicitly recognises Israel.
Mahmoud Abbas made the announcement in an official decree.
The Hamas movement, which leads the government, has rejected the proposal saying such a vote would be illegal.
The plan sets out formal Palestinian claims to an independent state on land occupied by Israel in 1967, and implicitly adopts a two-state solution.
The referendum will be non-binding.
Al--actually, I wasn't supposed to do it according to Monsieur, but he was out and I couldn't stand it anymore.
Phospherescent markers? Why didn't they have all this cool stuff back when we were all friends.
I'll suggest green and blue ones to my sister. Surely his guy friends will like those.
I think the cast is a badge of honor. All my nephew's guy friends have had lacerations that required stitches, compound fractures from skateboarding, etc. etc. so he has finally caught up and even chosen a way cool color (black) for his cast.

will boys use them on a cast? or just girls? i think most of his friends are guys so i would advise my sister on what to get.

The metallics come in many colours - if you allow for the 12% of the boys who are colourblind and the 15% who have no sense of style, the 27.9% who are unable to write, the 18.734% who are being re-trained from left to right and the .006% who are being re-trained from right to left, I think you'll find that at least 7.86 of the friends will use whatever the hell falls under their hand.

my new favorite blog. Even in the most justified conflicts, war spawns monstrosities, drawing out the beast that lurks in the muddy sediment of our brains. How much greater, then, is the guilt of those who knowingly instigate unjustified wars? How much greater is the guilt of elitist cowards who send troops — deceived, undersupplied, undertrained, overworked — into the death-dealing chaos of urban warfare, in a land whose people can see they are not being liberated but plundered, murdered, tortured, terrorized and driven back into a primitive –indeed a feral – state of existence?

On broccoli rabe: If you parboil it first and throw away the water then you can saute it with stuff and it won't taste so bitter.
This works with quite a few bitter veggies, i.e., first boiling them and getting rid of the boiling water.

Nothing real has happened since 1956.
Look for these. Or something similar. Something advertised as having Pima cotton or 'cotton rich' blend at this stage is preferable to any short staple trash cotton with a claim of a high thread count. A high thread count means nothing - the LOOMS aren't worth spit. All that means are a whole bunch of excessively thin, poorly span threads. Which break! Arrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh.....

Nothing beats linen sheets for durability. I have some that were given to a relative as a wedding present in the mid 1950s, and they are just now beginning to feel like silk. Though they were homespun and rougher than the commercial sheets. Which I understand are very expensive to buy but last forever.

About the sheets - I don't buy anything higher than 280 or 300 thread count, because the higher the thread count, the less they "breathe". I imagine a short-staple "trash" cotton isn't as much of a problem with the lower thread count sheets, since each individual thread is heftier.
The most important thing about sheets, whatever the thread count, is that they be dried on a clothesline so they'll smell good.

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't hang them out in Houston.
And then there are the neighborhoods that don't allow clotheslines anymore (not restricted to Houston, that). I remember when a backyard without a clothesline was unusual.

Why is shrub fucking with Turkey?
Turkey has recently been playing an active and leading role both on Iraq and Iran. Thus, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan wanted to visit US President George W. Bush in Washington and the Foreign Ministry applied to the US towards this end. As I understand it, before such a request is announced publicly, the preliminary acceptance of the other side is needed. I had thought that this approval came through, but that no date had been set yet. But Hurriyet reported yesterday that the visit Erdogan requested to the US to discuss the Iran, Iraq, Israel and Palestinian issues has been postponed to this fall, as an appointment from the White House didn’t come through. It added that when reporters asked Erdogan when the visit would happen, he said fall at the latest. It’s clear the request was politely rejected. Why? It’s so hard to understand why this request was postponed in a period in which Turkey is making positive contributions to the US’ Middle East policies.

I'm on the top floor, and it's still making my laptop quiver.
Right. THAT'S what makes your laptop quiver...

I must say, Vermont has a certain appeal:
In the United States, 100 cyclists were expected in Burlington, Vt. The nudity, a participating cyclist told WCAX, "is a real symbol against commercialism."
It also provides amusement, said Michael Nedell, a Burlington organizer. "When you get a lot of naked people on bikes, people tend to smile at you," he told the Hartford Courant.
Nudity is legal in Burlington, but in many other places participants knew they were risking trouble with the law. "We don't expect everyone to be OK with this," an Illinois resident told the Chicago Tribune publication RedEye, according to UPI. "We're just trying to have a good time and raise awareness."
So I see some folks at Gitmo managed to hang themselves. How incredibly sad. I have no idea if they were poor random schlubs who got picked up by mistake or if they were "bad guys," but I can see why years of being subject to our tender mercies (two kinds of fruit!) at Gitmo could lead them to despair. I think their blood is on our hands. I don't suppose we'll see huge blown-up pictures in gold gilt frames of their faces.

Alfred Stieglitz was the point Eli, tho i do find photos of black white clouds rather boring (i like photos of naked chicks, or dead people, always a big draw). seriously, i never understood why stieglitz was such a big deal. he made ansel adam's career. anslel adam sucks too, altho that could be argued about.
edward weston understood it was about nudity and death. this is the proper function of photography. clouds are to be looked at enjoyed. no use trying to capture the soul of nature in a photograph, can not be done. tho i will say elliot porter came close.
naturally, all previous commentary is caveated with the reminder that i'm just say'n shit half drunk on a blog, and as a philosopher freind (AA sponser actually) told me, "charley,it really doesn't matter what you think."
Alright,

Well there's something new and different. And we were so meticulous when it came to Uday and Qusay, and Abu Ghraib, and Gitmo... -NTodd
I hardly know what is degrading our society faster- the universally condemned inhumane torture of people in ways previously reserved for totalitarian fascist states or the fact that those two guys over there were checking each other out. It's a toss-up I guess.

Why is shrub fucking with Turkey?
He's stupid?
He's going to throw away an ally in the region, that the US has had for decades.
Doug, | 06.10.06 - 7:09 pm | #
You are correct on both answers. The thing is Turkey has been tolerant of Kurds so far because US has asked them not to interfere. But Turkey has also said that they will not allow an independant Kurdish nation to exsist on their border. So it would be in shrubs interest to treat the leader of that nation with a little courtesy.

omg, those crazy kids at gitmo put out their own 'zine. here's somebody's review of it:
The picturesque, full-color spread of Gitmo’s unspoiled coastline of rolling hills, rocky cliffs and glimmering beaches really brings to life its slogan, “Miles away from ordinary”—must be nice after a hard day of telling prisoners that their mothers and sisters are whores to unwind on secluded Girl Scout Beach.
In the religion section, Army Chaplain Joseph Evans compares his success in spreading the gospel of Jesus throughout the JTF to the process of nuclear fission. He intends to keep splitting those “spiritual atoms,” so maybe someday he’ll have enough fission power to build a spiritual dirty bomb. Metaphors rock!
get off the sauce
anslel adam sucks too, altho that could be argued about.
Yes, but I don't feel like arguing about it right now.
His color shots are boring, though. I just think he did a lot for photog in the early days, and dissing him is like dissing anybody working in a relatively new medium, 'specially one who creates the archetypes we now find commonplace.
Hecate: So I see some folks at Gitmo managed to hang themselves.
Given this administration, I don't know why they wouldn't just let the Gitmo prisoners off themselves 2-3 at a time over the next few months. What -- is that gonna hurt world opinion of the U.S.? Can it go into negative numbers?
.
Alfred Stieglitz was the point Eli, tho i do find photos of black white clouds rather boring (i like photos of naked chicks, or dead people, always a big draw).
Well, I don't come across (ahem) many naked chicks or dead people, so I have to work with what I got. Generally speaking, I try to incorporate the clouds as *part* of the shot rather than the whole point of the shot. Even with that one, I liked the way the clouds were kind of "bound" by the two wires; otherwise I might not have even bothered.
I thought they were trying to promote the World Cup.

You probably had better taste than to ever think of going to the Blind Lemon. I think it had its start in the FSM era or maybe the Beats. I was on San Pablo Avenue 'bout a mile south of University. Great place for bad red wine and bad folk singers in the early seventies.

I want to send you some fresh herbs. Could you please email me your snail mail address? I seem to have lost if from before. You can hang them up and dry them if you don't want to use them just now.
I heard on one of the whore shows this a.m. that Murtha, is going to challenge Pelosi, for the house majority leader if the dems take the house back. Anyone else hear that?
Damn! I just heard Harry Reid's Saturday radio message to the people. He sounded just like Shrub and bloodthirsty as heck, How do you tell the dems from the rethugs these days. It makes me sick. This has to stop. All this killing is going to come back on us is one good reason to stop it but another is that it is just flat wrong.

No, Murtha is going to run for majority leader, the number two spot. Pelosi would be speaker.

The decision to hold meetings at the wooded compound in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains gives them a high profile they might not have if they were held at the White House. Mr. Bush said Friday that he decided to convene his team at the rustic, remote property where, cell-phone service is spotty, "because it can be distracting down in Washington with phone calls and all this kind of stuff."

Speaking of hot sludge injections:
Researchers have come up with fascinating observations about semen absorption and depression in women. They found that women whose partners did not use condoms scored lower on tests for depression than women whose partners did use condoms. This has led them to believe that hormones in semen are absorbed into the women's bodies through the vagina, and that those hormones have a mood-elevating effect.
Now then, who was it needed cheering up around here?
NTodd is correct, I am....not.
To be more precise: I was just being a dick.
Is anyone else afraid that Atrios might have been involuntarily detained and implanted with a Kos brain slug?
Threadbot's probably tied up in a closet somewhere, or scattered across the desert in pieces.
If the A-Man jumps right in with a site revamp with echelons and... levels and all, remember you heard it here first. Or if he says that he's decided that the comments will be moderated with a view to this being a place where, say, Barack Obama would be comfortable popping in any time.
Just keep an open mind-- that's all I ask.

You know, this morning while perusing these-here threads, I raised my almost-empty cup to take a final sip of coffee and absent-mindedly tipped it a fraction of a second before it reached my lips. My sip slopped off my chin and onto my t-shirt, landing on the upper convex slope of my alarming gut directly above my navel. "What the fuck did you just do?" my higher consciousness cried. But the deed was done; the coffee wasn't coming back.
