Rebel leader in Pakistan's Baluchistan killed
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Nearly 60 people, including a prominent rebel leader, were killed in a battle between government forces and guerrillas in Pakistan's gas-rich Baluchistan province, the government said on Sunday.
An Interior Ministry official said 21 members of the security forces and 37 rebels were killed in the fighting, which appeared to be among the heaviest in the southwestern province in years.
"It is confirmed, Nawab Bugti has been killed in an operation," Information Minister Mohammad Ali Durrani told Reuters, referring to veteran Baluch nationalist and rebel leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti.
Military spokesmen declined to comment on the battle.

Italy to send 1,000 troops to Lebanon
ROME (Reuters) - Italy will send its first 800 to 1,000 troops to Lebanon on Tuesday to join a U.N. peacekeeping force there, a defense ministry source said on Saturday.
Italy, which has committed up to 3,000 troops to the Lebanon mission, will send its first detachment by sea, in a convoy led by the aircraft carrier Garibaldi which will sail from the southern city of Brindisi and reach Lebanon on Friday.
European Union nations have agreed to provide more than half the 15,000 peacekeeping troops being assembled to secure a truce between Israel and Hizbollah guerrillas.
Prime Minister Romano Prodi plans to hold a cabinet meeting on Monday to authorise the deployment of the troops. Italy will lead the force after the end of the French mandate at the end of February.

Not that NOLA residents shouldn't be concerned, but Houston emptied out on the sure threat of Rita.

I think the Swiss do it, too. I have nothing against it at all. It was behind the New Deal (WPA, CCC, etc.), and became fully compulsory during WWII, which we all consider the "ideal" war. It could only improve things to take kids away from watching "My Super Sweet Sixteen" and "Cribs."

BP says to pull 800 workers from U.S. Gulf Saturday
HOUSTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - BP Plc. (BP.L: Quote, Profile, Research) said it planned to pull 800 nonessential workers from U.S. Gulf of Mexico drilling rigs and non-producing platforms on Saturday in preparation for Tropical Storm Ernesto.
BP's Gulf liquids production, which was 214,000 barrels per day in 2005, will not be affected by the evacuations, the company said in a statement.
Saturday's evacuations will slash BP's offshore Gulf work force by a third, the company said.

Tasini Tackles Underdog Challenge
Presses bid to oust Clinton in primary
by Mark Somme
The 49-year-old Democrat and labor movement activist renewed calls for a debate with Clinton as he made campaign stops, including Spot Coffee on Delaware Avenue, and met with The Buffalo News editorial board.
Tasini, who acknowledged lagging far behind Clinton in name recognition and support, said he believes the senator's voting record in support of the war is out of step with most Democrats in the state.
"I believe the war was foolish, illegal, immoral - it should never have been fought. It cost the lives of 2,600 wonderful American men and women, tens of thousands of Iraqis, destroyed a country and probably left us with a legacy of anger from the Muslim world that could go on for, potentially, generations," Tasini said.
"I believe on that alone Hillary Clinton does not deserve re-election."
living below sea level is a *really* bad idea.
Had the levees held, NOLA would have passed almost unscathed through Katrina.

Tasini, who led the National Writers Union for 13 years, was born in the United States. His father was born in what is now Israel, and his mother fled Poland to escape the Holocaust. He has criticized Israel's air war in Lebanon as "disproportionate," a charge leveled Friday by Amnesty International. Clinton rejects that charge.

I don't have funny math stories, but in an essay on the wage gap between men and women one student ended by saying: "And women have chased men ever since."
My favorite group dining experience was at a conference in a mixed group of grad students, a couple PhDs, and a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist is the local and makes reservations at Chez Trendy for 10PM, ignoring the fact that most of the crowd is flying out the next morning. Given that it's only 6PM and everyone is starving, he takes us to a steak place. I find a soup and salad.
The psychiatrist proceeds to run through steak, lobster, and several bottles of wine and gets stinking drunk and completely obnoxious. When he is finally sated he decides we should all split the bill. As everyone else is conflict avoidant, I end up arguing with him that no, we don't much feel like paying an extra $30 apiece for his meal. Fun was had by all.

The most important species of this family for the global diet is the potato or Solanum tuberosum....In many genera, the fruits are the desirable item, for example, tomatoes, tomatillos, eggplants, and peppers. Some people experience sensitivity or allergy-like symptoms in response to nightshade plants.

my oldest girl is a pickie vegetarian. no tofu, no rice, no eggplant.
her son likes everything but is allergic to corn (which is in everything). one time (he was 2) someone told him "you don't want that, it has corn in it - it's yucky:
he replied "it's not yucky - i'm just lergic!"

Of course, experts were saying it would take a year or two to rebuild the levees so they could withstand a storm surge (time must be allowed for each base layer to settle before another is added; time which was not allowed for, in the haste to rebuild).
If NO gets hit like it did last year, all bets are off, I'm afraid.
If I could not eat tomatoes, I would kill myself.
I could live on tomatoes all summer.

dith is Eschaton's answer to a question no one asked.
when i was a waitress at one place i worked at for a long time, there was a softball team that'd come in every thursday, about 12 guys. their solution to the bill: everyone put in a credit card in a ballcap, and i'd close my eyes and pull one out. that guy paid the whole tab for the night.
they tipped well, so i thought it was cute. and better than arguing over pennies and percentages, the most tedious thing a waitress can have to endure from a big party.

i used to go for drinks/snacks after work with 4 other guys. since there were 5 of us, i'd volunteer to leave a 20% tip and let the rest of them split the bill.
none of them were very good with math, so they let me.
res ipsa loquitur , thanks for that information. The funny thing is that I never liked tomatoes or potatoes. I was made to eat them "because they're good for you", but now I wonder if my body knew they weren't good for me at all.
We didn't have peppers or eggplants in those dark ages.
add me to the suiciders if i discovered i couldn't eat 'maters. i'm so full right now, in part because i pigged out on some of the four varieties we've got growing here at the homestead. grilled, covered with chopped herbs, and a touch of basalmic vinegar. mmm.

allen visit attracts protesters
protesters dressed as a banana and a monkey wear signs reading "racism is not a family value" while walking down beverley street in downtown staunton today. a handful of protesters, as well as a few supporters, were on hand friday afternoon to express their views during a visit by u.s. sen george allen that was canceled at the last minute.
...but now I wonder if my body knew they weren't good for me at all.
Echidne,
I have a similiar issue with mango. I always shied from them for some reason. Then once in my twenties I tried some and had a violent allergic reaction. One of the only times I was grateful that my stepmother was around. She had me drink milk quickly and got me to a hospital.
I can tolerate it cooked, but not raw.
Given the opportunity to eat freshly picked ripe tomatoes (with a little salt), I have literally eaten myself sick.
agave! It's not green chiles -on- the tamales, it's tamales made from fresh - 'green' - corn. Silly. No meat. Not dried shucks, but fresh....
And Echidne;
What foods belong to the nightshade family?
The most famous food members of the nightshade family include potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum), many species of sweet and hot peppers (all species of Capsicum, including Capsicum annum), and eggplant (Solanum melongena). Less well know, but equally genuine nightshade foods include ground cherries (all species of Physalis), tomatillos (Physallis ixocapra), garden huckleberry (Solanum melanocerasum), tamarillos (Cyphomandra betacea), pepinos (Solanum muricatum), and naranjillas (Solanum quitoense). Pimentos (also called pimientos) belong to the nightshade family, and usually come from the pepper plant Capsicum annum. Pimento cheese and pimento-stuffed olives are therefore examples of foods that should be classified as containing nightshade components.
It may be helpful to note here that black pepper, which belongs to the Piperaceae family, is not a member of the nightshade foods, and neither is sweet potato. Although sweet potato, whose scientific name is Ipomoea batatas, belongs to the same plant order as the nightshades (Polemoniales), it does not belong to the Solanaceae family found in this order, but to a different plant family called Convolvulaceae.
In the spice category, the seasoning paprika is also derived from Capsicum annum, the common red pepper, and the seasoning cayenne comes from another nightshade, Capsicum frutenscens. Tabasco sauce, which contains large amounts of Capsicum annum, should also be considered as a nightshade food.
ChiDy--we do it by agreeing that one party pays one time, another the next. It saves aggravation on everyone's part.

I have a friend in government and whenever we go out we have to very carefully split the bill to be sure no one could ever argue that I "bribed" her by paying for her meal or whatever. It can seem a bit silly, but it's best to avoid even the appearance.
Our flory needs to boast about tomatoes.

Even Stuart Rothenberg now forecasts Dems to win the House, albeit narrowly. When my House forecast comes out on Monday, I will forecast Democrats to pick up 15-25 seats in the House, enough for a slim majority.

Witnesses: Israel strikes Reuters car
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060.../
gaza_airstrike
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Two missiles fired by Israeli aircraft early Sunday morning hit an armored car belonging to the Reuters news agency, moderately wounding two television cameramen and three bystanders, Palestinian witnesses and hospital officials said.
The Israeli army said it was checking the report.
According to witnesses, a Reuters cameraman and a freelance cameraman working for an Arabic network were standing outside the vehicle in the Shajaiyeh neighborhood of Gaza filming a nearby Israeli raid when the missiles hit the car.
The white sports utility vehicle was emblazoned with the Reuters logo and had "TV" written on it in English, Arabic and Hebrew, witnesses said.
The cameramen, along with three bystanders, were moderately injured with shrapnel wounds and all five were to undergo surgery, hospital officials said.
From the website:
The War is a seven-part series, produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, that will examine the myriad ways in which the Second World War touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America. By telling the stories of ordinary people in four quintessentially American towns – Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota – the series will portray this enormous worldwide catastrophe on an intimate, human scale. The War will intertwine vivid eyewitness accounts of the harrowing realities of life on the front lines with reminiscences of Americans who never left their home towns, and who tried their best to carry on with the business of daily life while their fathers and brothers and sons were overseas. The film will honor and celebrate the bravery, endurance, and sacrifice, of the generation of Americans who lived through what will always be known simply as The War.

There was a little telegraphing this evening of the strategy our "liberal" media is apparently going to take to minimize the political damage of the Katrina anniversary to Bush and the Republicans.
The talking suit on ABC was intoning that the story could backfire on the Democrats if they emphasize the incompetence and mistakes Bush created, while coverage emphasized the "progress" that has been made in Louisiana. (I was there in May, the "progress" is as illusory as a journalist's objectivity).
I have a strong feeling that we're going to get lots of feel-good stories, especially during Bush's visit, so that the Repugs can try to claim that Bush has done a wonderful job with the recovery, and his performance a year ago was never that bad anyway.

SALTILLO - A pastor who says his congregation voted not to accept black membership has resigned. The church says it never made such a decision.
The Rev. John Stevens says Fellowship Baptist Church in Saltillo voted not to approve blacks as members during a scheduled Sunday night business meeting Aug. 6. Because of the decision, Stevens stepped down from the Baptist Missionary Alliance congregation that has an average Sunday morning attendance of 30 people.
According to Stevens, the church made race an issue after a biracial 12-year-old boy, Joe, began attending Fellowship Baptist with his temporary guardians.
The church was "afraid Joe might come with his people and have blacks in the church," Stevens said. "I could not go along with that. There would always be a wall between us, so I resigned that night."
After the Daily Journal contacted Fellowship Baptist members, they gathered Aug. 17 to form a response. Mike Dillard, who acted as spokesperson for the church, said the congregation "categorically denies" accusations that the church took such a vote and feels the charge is an attempt by a party to do them harm.
Family leaves
After being told of the vote, Cliff Hardy, an officer with the Tupelo Police Department, left the church. He and his family had been going to Fellowship Baptist for about a year and had been praying about becoming members there.
"I was asking the Lord to lead us," Hardy said.
The police officer says there are good people at Fellowship Baptist, and the Bible was preached there.
However, "You see, my best friend is a black man," he said. "I wouldn't be comfortable going to a place where I couldn't ask my best friend to go to church with me."

They've got to have something on Lieberman. The way he's been turned into a GOP robot. It's just too bizarre. Why else would he throw away 20 years of reputation like this? He's pissing off so many of his friends in Congress, he won't have any choice in 2007. Even if he wins, and the Dems capture the Senate, he'll have to caucus with the Repubs. Something's going on here.
Yesterday, Thomas Mann forecasted Democrats to win 25-35 seats in the House, and also gave Dems a 50% chance to take control of the Senate.

today's neocons grew up hearing stories about those years, and when they look in the mirror, they know nothing they have done can remotely compare. thus, they invent "islamofascism" and the "war" on terror, to make up for their inadequacies. and at every chance they get, they make comparisons between their pathetic efforts at empire and the war of the past, the "good" war. knowing all the while they are nothing, not even a shadow, of the men and women who actually won a battle against the forces of evil.
Just saw a TV commercial for the loathsome Michael Steele who's running for Governor of MD (Republican). It was a good commercial... slick, eye-catching, totally substance-free. It looked like a promo for the station's new talk-show host.

ChiDy: That is at the root of the "Religion Problem". There are millions and millions of people who go to church for the right reason: To ry to figure out what the ful this all means and what is the best way to act in our lives. But organized religion is all about "Authoritay" and following the rules of a group. When you get that kind of mentality working then you set yourself up for charaltans and tricksters who, instead of just letting the search and wonderment continue, will tell these people "Here is the Truth, as God told it to me. You must do this..." Then the whole obedience thing kicks in and the world suffers from Religion for another millenium. There were good people in that congregation who bucked the authority and left because their heart told them different. Religion is mankind's biggest paradox.
And were I not going I would massage your tummy gently in a clockwise motion till it felt better or at least distract you with silly antics.

dith,
it means you should be afraid, very afraid. you're disappearance could be slow, extremely slow, and painful, very painful, but complete.
from the AP via the globe:
Lamont lauded as star among progressive Democrats
Lamont was the top attraction at a recent fundraising event for the group, founded in 2004 by Jim Dean, brother of Howard Dean -- chairman of the Democratic National Committee, former Vermont governor and former presidential candidate.
"It was the talk of the political town when he was here," Hughes said. "He is known to progressives across the country right now as somebody who just toppled a really behind-the-times entrenched incumbent. That's a huge deal. It doesn't really happen that often."
.
Does dith have a database, or just a text file he c&ps from, eh?

Ripley,
My dad was army infantry in Korea. Never spoke of his experience except to say that he had fallen in love with Japan and Japanese culture on his leaves. When I asked him if he had killed men and he said that he had, I (stupidly) asked, "Why?" And he said, "Because it was them or me."
I think he definitely wanted to forget his time in the war -- and his WWII-era youth, which was marked by deprivation.

dith's handiwork reminds me of the kind of output you'd get from Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator...
http://www.pakin.org/complaint
however, with the language level reset to brain damaged.
Here's an actual paragraph it generated ...
To respond to all of dim exegeses would take up too much room and time. I would like to address the most moonstruck ones, though. For the sake of review, there is a proper place in life for hatred. Hatred of that which is wrong is a powerful and valuable tool. But when Dims pervert hatred in order to vandalize our neighborhoods, it becomes clear that we've tolerated its bloody-minded, deplorable sophistries long enough. It's time to lose our patience and chill our kindness. It's time to hinder the power of conniving, demonic parasites like dims. It's time to shout to the world that I believe in "live and let live". dims, in contrast, demand not only tolerance and acceptance of their scribblings but endorsement of them. It's because of such virulent demands that I think that no one likes being attacked by feral fruitcakes. Even worse, dims exploit our fear of those attacks -- which it claims will evolve within a short period of time into biological, chemical, or nuclear attacks -- as a pretext to accelerate the natural tendency of civilization to devolve from order to chaos, liberty to tyranny, and virtue to vice. If you think that's scary, then you should remember that what I wrote just a moment ago is not the paranoid rambling of a closed-minded, catty wacko. It's a fact. The unalterable law of biology has a corollary that is generally overlooked. Specifically, if dims don't like it here, then perhaps it should go elsewhere. dims and their trucklers are uncontrollable ingrates. This is not set down in complaint against them, but merely as analysis. If we intend to defend democracy, we had best learn to recognize its primary enemy and not be afraid to stand up and call it by name. That name is dim.
I wasn't expecting the Irish inquisition.
Ya bastard! I was saving that phrase for the upcoming 'O'Reilly does Xmas on FOX News' season.

"Senator Allen responds to a question from the audience by saying “I want to be very careful about the words I use,” then winks and smiles at the all white, elderly crowd in Springfield, VA. In response to Allen’s wink and smile, the crowd erupted into laughter."

I'm betting the kid he insulted is smarter than that audience put together.

On the D-Day thing, however, there's this:
He was a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division but shortly before D-Day he broke his leg during a nighttime practice jump in Britain.
"They sent me back to the States," he recalled in a 1988 Associated Press interview. "I was in a hospital for nearly a year."
A fellow soldier who had been an actor gave him a play to read and he was hooked. He recovered enough to take part in the Battle of the Bulge and, after the war, went to New York to pursue an acting career.

My Dad was Naval ordnance, arming and defusing bombs. (Ghastly? yes) He talked about the Japs coming down and stealing food from their tents, while he was on the island.
He was immensely proud of his service but he never had a 'Kill 'em all' attitude. I don't think I ever heard him say anything about how 'great' the War was.

You know, you both just clarified something for me. My late brother was career Navy (SeaBees) who enlisted during Viet Nam.

That's the biggest problem in working with the mentally infirm...the difficulty well-adjusted people have in understanding what kind of "reasoning" is taking place within the diseased mind and is leading to the acting out and irrational behavoir.
Only stuff I know about my dad's service is that after some time in England he started sending letters to my mom ranting about how ugly she was, and how he could have any British chick he wanted. When he came back my mom tried to live with him, but she called it quits after she had to pull a knife on him to stave off a beating.
I found some stuff about his bomber group and crew on the internet. His crew made it through, except for the tail gunner, who died when his oxygen line froze up. Lots of other crews weren't so lucky.
Bein' a 20 year-old kid co-piloting a B24 would tend to lead to PTSD.

I think it was his campaign manager, who continually contradicts Allen's ostensible apologies, who had his fingers crossed.
One of the defenses of Allen that makes the least sense to me is the one that says: "Oh, that 'macaca' business is so arcane... we all had to go look it up to see what it meant."
Like he should have said "Hey, red-dot!" or "Hey, sand-nigger" so we could all have understood him.

He wanted me to be an officer in the Navy, though -- but he had counted on Nam being over by the time I was sent there (which it almost was -- except Nam is never really over)

My favorite from Campbell is still the retelling of the Navajo legend about how once upon a time, there were no women in the world - only vaginas.

The Navajo tale has to do with how the hero "domesticated" the vagina so it could be enjoyed by one and all.

Both my Mum and Pop were in the CBI theatre - pretty far north, both of them. Pop very rarely would recount how he, a good Canadian, ended up in the US Army being shot at while stringing wire on telephone poles along the Burma Road, but it was always with a lot of barely suppressed fury, and by no means chatty. Mum saw too many broken and destroyed boys going thru the rest camp to have much to say about it. Both of them however were absolutely resolved that my brother would be shipped back up to Canada before he was ever involved in the Army. There was no doubt about that whatsoever.

Mine was actually a holiday gift from my father the last time he visited. Wow: I just did the math. 5 years ago! Not only should he be comin' out to see his grandchildren more often, but I've only drank about two thirds of the bottle in 5 years (and I've even had help drinking it!). I better get to it...
I don't want to post on this thread.
and then, shining and of polished leather, i will show you what the term "boot" really means, as you kiss and caress mine again and again, knowing it won't end the pain you feel for your heresy, nor my righteous hand descending upon you with a thousand brutal strokes. when i am done with you, you will worship at the altar of jobs, expending every resource to bring the light and hope of mac to every corner of this dark, PC benighted world, singing my praises for your conversion, and knowing the essential truth that is OS X.

The question is, is Threadbot passed out in a skanky alley, or lying on a Caribbean beach?
i was out at the evil empire while they were just finishing up NT5 (known as Win2000 now). i laughed at its puny attempts at serverdom, and told them they should learn from a real operating system. several asked me what it was missing, but i had a plane to catch.
unix rules the world, as jobs discovered - first with next, then with os/x.
of course, i'm typing this on my XP-home laptop, because some of my video software won't run on linux, and macs are too expensive.
Don't think there'll be much beach lying in the Caribbean over the next couple days.
We were supposed to leave tomorrow for a dive trip. Sob.

I blame the fuckin' ferrets.
I'm not sure how to deal with my family situation. My sister aand her husband tell me I'm a drunkard, yet the tests say zero alcohol. Damn. I can't convince them.
nothing meaner than a drunk unix geek. esp if he's mixing vodka, whine, and tequila.
Threadbot screwed up a month or so ago. Thirty-two fresh threads in a row. Threadbot is in exile.

Well, the mixology I can't comment on, but, I once received a unix-for-geeks book as a birthday present. And I'm not mean.

A blown-out COBOL coder slamming PBR and bad whiskey and bitching about the glory days of JCL and Big Iron comes awfully close.
shoot. time to take my new blood pressure pills. i haven't been on maintenance meds in 40 years.
i hope they're ok to take with alcohol. if i don't post for a few days, probably not.

it's the tequila. i love it, but it makes me violent. luckily no one here but mrs g, and she can handle me.

The brave man is he who overcomes not only his enemies but his pleasures. There are some men who are masters of cities but slaves to women.
Motherfucker. I'm sitting here listening to The Soundtrack of Our Lives.

Guys, if you haven't heard this bunch, you got to.
I'm back from the grocery store.
Guess what I bought. Go on, guess!

probably the same way that folks working at dunkin donuts don't usually eat munchkins.
and i haven't seen any really good software since lotus 123 v1a.
it's the tequila. i love it, but it makes me violent.
Yes, I remember you sayin' something like that the other night, too. Won't do much good for your blood pressure. Use caution, friend.
Liquor doesn't make me violent. Just happy & horny, if the dose is right. Sleepy if it's too much.

it's gonna be exciting television, i think...the attack, sack, and burnning of Austin should be purty spectacular...
they brought in about 60 of these arikara and northern sioux kids to be the warriors...they rode like fucking centaurs...it was glorious to watch...they come whooping and swooping up the dirt street at full gallop and it was splendid...
as for the story? i dunno...but it was a fun shoot, and some of the more exciting filming i've been in...

i don't know why i hate the little prick so much. can't be the tequila, 'coz i hate him in the morning too. i think it's because the first time i saw him here he was continually reposting a dylan quote that he obviously did not understand. back then he used to occasionally try to explain himself.

Because it's a stoopid motherfucker and it won't stop posting that inane bullshit. It's like commercials on TV.

Ah...egg creams, the drink of my youth in Brooklyn, N.Y.
One of the many candy stores in my neighborhood used to shpritz in some vanilla syrup as well as the usual chocolate syrup, milk and seltzer.
Another one used Hershey's choclate syrup which produced a uniquely *dark* chocolaty flavor. How inventive those guys were!
Fact:
Every single president of the U.S., since WWII has conducted wars and/or "conflicts" during their terms in office.
Fact:
Every single one of those "wars" were based on lies.

Hello-I cant say hi, please say hello. Damn, I'm so sad, say hi to me
If anyone is talking to me, I'd like to hear, Darn i'd like to hear
Hi--I'm sorry, I'm not OK, please forgive me, I'm messed up
Sorry--I'd been worried about a lot of things, bad
Darn--i'm so sad that I can't deal with this problem. It's a bad deal I can't handle
