GravatarTHAT PROUD AMERICAN ORAL TRADITION

Tennessee's "Manual of Execution" is full of mistakes because the lethal injection instructions got mixed with instructions for electric chair executions.

Tennessee's procedure manual for executing prisoners is a jumble of conflicting instructions that mixes new lethal injection instructions with those for the old electric chair, an Associated Press review found.

Before a lethal injection, the 100-page "Manual of Execution" instructs prison officials to begin by shaving the condemned prisoner's head -- as if preparing him for electrocution. They would also need a fire extinguisher nearby, it says.

Gov. Phil Bredesen suspended four executions last week, calling the document a "cut-and-paste job" that needs significant revision. He set a May 2 deadline for the overhaul.

The mistakes were added last summer when Tennessee decided to update the manual after a death row inmate asked to be electrocuted, Correction Commissioner George Little said. The state's last execution took place in June, before the manual was revised.

Little attributed the errors to poor proofreading.

"This is human error," Little said. "Bottom line, it's in the typing, but certainly not in the carrying out of the actual executions."

The manual's minute-by-minute guidelines for lethal injections includes the instruction: "The Executioner will engage the automatic rheostat." A rheostat controls the voltage flowing to an electric chair.

The guidelines also tell the facility manager to disconnect the electrical cables in the rear of the chair before a doctor checks whether the lethal injection was successful.

Bredesen said Tennessee's execution teams have relied on an "oral tradition" and routine drills have ensured that lethal injections have been given properly.

GravatarDeadliest Bomb in Iraq is Made by Iran, U.S. Says
By MICHAEL R. GORDON
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 — The most lethal weapon directed against American troops in Iraq is an explosive-packed cylinder that United States intelligence asserts is being supplied by Iran.

The assertion of an Iranian role in supplying the device to Shiite militias reflects broad agreement among American intelligence agencies, although officials acknowledge that the picture is not entirely complete.

GravatarManure: You may be walking on it soon
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ 20070...Ww4JyTk7jpxieAA
DETROIT - Home-buyers of tomorrow could find themselves walking across floors made from manure. Researchers at Michigan State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture insist it's no cow pie in the sky dream. They say that fiber from processed and sterilized cow manure could take the place of sawdust in making fiberboard, which is used to make everything from furniture to flooring to store shelves.

And the resulting product smells just fine.

The researchers hope it could be part of the solution to the nation's 1.5-trillion- to 2-trillion pound annual farm waste disposal problem.

GravatarErinPDX: you're in second degree territory.

Gravatarsaid to keep in cold water as long as possible, air dry then seal whole thing, not too tightly with saran wrap for three days.

Like a new tattoo! Good idea!

It will probably ooze, then will scab over and itch like hell. Use neosporin on it then, and after a week or so, you can switch to Lubriderm and a little Benadryl gel to keep it moist and relieve the itching.

I spilled a whole kettle of boiling water into the lace area of my sneaker years back , at the emerge they slowly and gracefully pulled off all the seperated skin that stuck to the sock ( isn't everyone glad I'm here to help Erin ...? ) laid flamazine cream on it thick and wrapped it in a cold pack . They told me to keep it dry at all times and cautioned against Wrapping it in anything airtight ; 2 years later I saw why when working ambulance for the elderly and a gentleman about 60 tried a cling-film wrap treatment and caused a anerobic bacterial infection that threatened to rot his foot off. He required deep swabbing with anitbiotics and reconstructive surgery.
Since then i tend toward dry and airy and flamazine creme which fixed me right up . Burns suck . Good luck .

GravatarAnybody up for winning 25 million?

Airline tycoon Richard Branson announced on Friday a US$25-million prize for the first person to come up with a way of scrubbing greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere in the battle to beat global warming.

Flanked by climate campaigners former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and British ex-diplomat Crispin Tickell, Branson said he hoped the prize would spur innovative and creative thought to save mankind from self-destruction.

"Man created the problem and therefore man should solve the problem," he told a news conference to reveal the Virgin Earth Challenge.

"Unless we can devise a way of removing CO2 (carbon dioxide) from the earth's atmosphere we will lose half of all species on earth, all the coral reefs, 100 million people will be displaced, farmlands will become deserts and rain forests wastelands."

In an interview with CNN, former Undersecretary for Defense Doug Feith stood by the now-debunked claim that Iraq had a pre-war relationship with al Qaeda. Feith told Wolf Blitzer that former CIA Director George Tenet’s statement in October 2002 claiming there was a link is still “the best information on the subject.”

Pressed to defend his claim, Feith said, “I’ve not been in the government for the last year and a half — there may be some more intelligence on that subject.” Watch it:"

Gravatarmy 12 yr old g'dtr actually called me this eve and left message on our answ machine and asked me to call her back. This is the girl who is The Silent One, the Cautious One.

Her bday is 1/13, and I gave her a card telling her I would get her a cell phone and a couple of months' worth of pre-paid minutes, after which she would be on her own, thinking this could be an oppo for her to lean $$ management (she;s already pretty good at it).

We are now scheduled to go tomorrow to The Mall (ugh) to get her The Phone.

I have to confess, she is such a treat, and I am truly looking forward to it.

Since you turned me onto the girl group set way back when, I thought I'd pass along how much I've been enjoying this collection of punk from Rhino.

Lot's of singles and EPs--good stuff. I got it because there were two songs from an old album I've lost to the ages, the 1980 Fast Product--Mutant Pop compilation.

[Of course, the irony of paying tribute to the "punk rebellion" with a pricey and glossy boxed set is not lost on me.]

Gravatar"Hinchey told RAW STORY he plans to reintroduce the Media Ownership Reform Act (MORA) that would break up media monopolies and restore the Fairness Doctrine, which was eliminated by the Federal Communications Commission under the Reagan administration.

“If Rush shoots his mouth off, he must give equal access to our side,” Hinchey said. “The American public will begin to get both sides or all sides of an issue. That is basic – fundamental to a democracy.”

Last year, Hinchey introduced H.R. 3302 (MORA), but Republicans blocked the measure in committee. He also founded the Future of American Media Caucus in Congress in 2005. With Democrats now in control of Congress, a new media reform measure is expected to be assigned to the House Energy and Commerce Committee within the next couple of weeks, Hinchey’s staff confirmed.

“We’ll be trying hard to get the subcommittee and the full committee chairs to bring this to the House floor,” Hinchey pledged. A companion bill will be introduced on the Senate side by Bernie Sanders (D-VT), he added."

And let me preface what I'm about to say by saying I have a blog, I'm a big believer in the power of blogs in politics to make it more Democratic and empower people's voices, but for a lot of the Democratic bloggers there's extremism, anger, and there's a kind of lack of accountability for what people say and do and I think this is more and more going to become a problem in presidential politics as the blogosphere and the campaign world start converging.

Mac has "Boot Camp" which is just a boot loader that lets you chose between bootable partitions. Choose OS X and boots normally, chose windows and it boots windows.

GravatarHow many people here work at a place where if you develop software, the company owns it

I used to, till November.


GravatarI think that would be contestable unless you have a very specific signed agreement.
EkCenTriK


As far as I know, they never have tried, and WTF, just publish under a different name.

It was thrown into a lot of contracts during the dot com times, everyone wanted a buck.

I think the last code I ever wrote was 32 years ago, a simple weight and balance program for planes. In BASIC.




GravatarThe company I work for has gone IP mad, and whatever fabulous software idea I come up with, even if at home, is theirs as far as they're concerned--that salary doesn't just cover 40-60 hours a week it seems. I'm supposed to be happy with a $250 payoff for a patent approval.

That will show em.

Eh NTodd, we will get noticed now, right? Silence?

errr, maybe a problem with this......


GravatarBarry,

I just can't see any compelling reason to plunk down the money for Vista.

Maybe I could develop some new uses for the computer, but word processing and playing music while internet surfing seems to be it for me.

Still trying to get a handle on three of your jets full of money missing. That is just incredible. I mean, incredible.


GravatarHowdy, DWD.

The Washington Post got the story wrong and Levin was wrong as well.

What an asshole. Amazing how people can turn into WATBs when they realize there might be some jail time in their future.


GravatarRorschach,

Yeah, they are resting up to attack anew on the coming day.

I did like the video of the congressman from New York: the best part was where the little fool wanted to complain about Pelosi's plane and he just said, "I reclaim my time," and the little wanker had to shut up - priceless.

GravatarI fought the Vista all the way DWD.

Two nights ago, it demanded a key from previous install of windows, I gave it to it, rejected. Locker room

Today, it didn't even ask.

Crazy to be sure.


GravatarI understand that Vista is designed to make a PC feel like a Mac. My son has a Mac and I really do not like the way it "feels."

I am not saying anything bad about Macs or good about PCs, just a general preference.

When I try to do something on the Mac it just has layers of stuff to keep me from doing what I want. As far as I can tell the Mac has no file manipulation program that is simple is to use and powerful.

And - because music is one of my primary uses - the fact that they want me to have PURCHASED all of this music is disconcerting to say the least.

And Rorschach, I knew the other day when you finished that you would have much more work to do on your diss. But having it completed is important because, even though it may change in particulars, in general it will remain the way you created it. That is the good feeling.

Gravatar4lgs - Ooooooooh, what a lovely kitty. I'm so glad you decided to take her and Madeline is the purrrrrfect name.


GravatarI think it's a good name too. She's already answering to "Maddie."

She's so funny, with those big ears, doesn't she look like a fenic fox?

GravatarMadeline is just fine. Naming cats is an art, it comes to you or not.

Madeline suits this young lady.

She gets the Hidey/Magoo/Zoey blessing, and is here ever after ultimately associated with fourlegsgood.

It is a bestowment (not blessing, that would be religious, blah) that we don't give without consideration.

Madeline, your new parent awaits, be well little kitty. New life awaits, and tons of fun.

GravatarThe inspector general did not recommend criminal charges against Mr. Feith because Mr. Rumsfeld or his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, approved their subordinate’s “inappropriate” operations. The renegade intelligence buff said he was relieved.

GravatarFunny thing about me and numbers. In high school I was terrible at math and never did manage to pass the trig regents. As an adult student I managed to learn trig in two weeks and to pass the college test that allowed me to get my degree without taking math. Took two terms of accounting and statistics and got As in all. Prepared income taxes professionally one year. Seems I'm quite good with numbers after all. Either my brain hadn't developed enough in high school or it wasn't presented very well.

My daughter is doing a post bac pre-med course and getting As in everything, including organic chemistry, something that totally mystified her in her sophmore year. She was convinced she could never go to medical school because of it. However, now it's no problem.

GravatarI understand. I only wish I enjoyed the feelings that accompany ED treatments - they remind me of crashing on MDMA.


GravatarOur Dem congressman has started a program offering free tax prep for people in local housing projects and other poor--which is a lot of times senior citizens. They get volunteers to do it.

So many of the poor don't understand how taxes work and a lot of thieves have set up "tax clinics" where they charge huge fees and basically rob people of their refunds. It's reprehensible.

Hi, Litz, that's a good thing to do - who is the congressman?

GravatarHi, Litz, that's a good thing to do - who is the congressman?

Jim Cooper. A lot of people from our church volunteer every year.

Yeah, there are a lot of creeps and thieves out there. And I guess this tax time is a good opportunity to remind people of the millions of people who won't be filing for a refund -- the illegal immigrants, who pay into the system and don't ever get a dime back.


GravatarLast night on NBC Brian Williams did a number on the media blitz about ANS, and commented that a lot of blogs were instead featuring the death of Jennifer Parcels(sp?) in Iraq. I loved it, went to his blog and he had the whole thing there, too, I left a TY comment.


GravatarBarry, you should of heard him on CNN yesterday. Whining and whinging. He sounded so scared. I guess prison isn't something he thought could happen to his kind. I would really, really like to see him locked up.

GravatarWord. The GOP spends millions trying to convince us such folks don't exist


Oh, no, they exist and according to the wingnuts they are getting "free services." No one has ever explained to me what these "free services" are. A library card? A trip to the emergency room?


GravatarRuth, the pic was apt, especially with all this war talk with Iran.


GravatarIt's always struck me as funny that a group of people who feel so oppressed by paying the lowest taxes in the Western world are so hung up on the idea of some people getting "free services."


GravatarIn TX, the senators who were hot to throw a bunch of $$ at keeping the dirty smelly illeaguls out are now backtracking since the businesses along the border started being boycotted by their usual clients on the south side of el borderrello.


GravatarJennifer Parcels(sp?) in Iraq.

I haven't heard about this story, do tell.


GravatarI often hear that undocumented immigrants "aren't paying into the system AND are receiving 'free services.'" The thousands trapped in nursery/agricultural work in Oregon and the rest of the country are most assuredly paying into the system
money they can't get out.

They are actually a burden on the local school systems since the kids need a lot of special services like ESL & remedial reading. For small districts it can be overwhelming. However, I always tell people that that is price we pay for being human and living amongst other humans. No one has explained to me how denying the children of illegals an education is going to help the United States.


Gravatarsince the businesses along the border started being boycotted by their usual clients on the south side of el borderrello.
Ha ha ha!!!! I read about some small town in Georgia that tossed out all of its illegal immigrants and then to its dismay saw their economy collapse. Restaurants and markets had to close, they couldn't find enough workers OR customers. Stupid people, they think you can roll back the clock to Leave It To Beaverland, but that world never existed to begin with.


GravatarWow! I get lots of free services. Garbage collection, snowplowing, police, fire etc.etc. I only pay about 5,100.00 in property taxes for my free services.


GravatarLitz, recently I went to a meeting on immigrants treatment in a local community that has passed a bill to make English the official language and is trying to keep people from renting to people without proper papres - a lady told about the people she's worked with in social services who apply for assistance with rent, food, commute, and send all their money home to Mexico. I did tell her about the fact that illegal workers essentially donate their withheld $$ to our federal gov't. Didn't make much of a dent.


GravatarThey are actually a burden on the local school systems since the kids need a lot of special services like ESL & remedial reading.

If the kids are born in America then they are not receiving anything special. And there are plenty of American kids using those services. I just don't buy it, but then I don't have kids in school so I may not be the most educated on that end of the debate.


GravatarThe Republicans have championed hard hearts and
punitive treatment. It's not working.


Gravatar I only pay about 5,100.00 in property taxes for my free services.

Schools are funded by local property taxes. Most suburbs are zoned for single family dwellings and are overwhelmed when two, three & four famiilies live in one house and only pay taxes as if they were just one family. I personally don't buy it either but there is some rationale there.


GravatarThe Republicans have championed hard hearts and punitive treatment. It's not working.

That would make a great bumper sticker!

I think I saw one once that said something like "I may be a bleeding heart liberal, but at least I have a heart!" Something like that.


GravatarWell, ql, in my neighborhood we have developers taking large lots of land and tearing down houses and putting up 6-8-10 houses where one used to stand. And those families send their kids to the local schools, and the local schools are crappy because the property taxes haven't caught up to the need to build better facilities.

(does that make sense?)


GravatarMy property taxes were nearly $7,000 this year! I had to pay it in pieces.

I could do that here also but I have the taxes escrowed. It's like witholding taxes. You don't miss it if you never have it.


Gravatartrying again, here's the obit that several blogs carried rather than the bimbo deathroll;
'Her name is Jennifer M. Parcell. She was just 20 years old, and she graduated in 2004 from Fallston High School near her hometown of Bel Air, Md.

A couple of years ago, Jennifer Parcell went to Parris Island and watched the Marine graduation services for her older brother, Joseph. She decided that she, too, wanted to join the Marines, and eventually both Jennifer Parcell and her brother were sent to Iraq, even serving at the same post for a time.

But then, they separated. Yesterday, Jennifer Parcell was supporting combat operations in Al-Anbar province when she was killed in action.'


GravatarI honestly believe we must remind people that
"zero tolerance" attitudes get about the same quality of information that torture does: people under duress will say what they think the 'captor'wants to hear.


GravatarLori Piestewa was killed in the same encounter in which Jessica Lynch was kidnapped, and all she got was a dumb mountain in Phoenix named after her.

You people are suckers. All I had to pay in property taxes this year was one-fifth of my total bodily blood volume and my left nut.


GravatarI have the taxes escrowed. It's like witholding taxes. You don't miss it if you never have it.

I didn't want to do that because you have to pay more at the outset ... they put that "cushion" in there, and I know you get it back at the end of the year, but I'd just rather hold onto my money and earn interest on it ....

Very sad about Jennifer Parcells. I hadn't heard. The blood on the hands of these criminals like Feith is astounding. Starting a war to them was just so ... "academic" to them.


GravatarBleeding heart liberals are the only ones worth having. I'm seeing the vogue for 'get over it' losing all appeal, and it's high time. When we spend our taxes to murder people for political issues instead of support the people next door (or at least in the alley) we're cutting our own throats.

GravatarMy escrow refund this year was under $20.00. It.s usually pretty small. Someone at the bank is a very good estimator. Tax rates here have gone down every year for the last 8 years or so but valuation goes up so much that there is always a net increase in property taxes. Valuation is done every year and is based on what similar homes in the same neighborhood are selling for.

Gravatarplantsman,
Something really wonderful happened this week. The teen, who really does not know whether she is struggling with issues of sexuality or gender identity, has been having a rough time of late. I've been beyond worried, because she's been acting out, and skipping school, and then there was the hair thing--ugh. But I made some calls and found a LGBTQ discussion group just for teens. It's a bunch of young people (the moderator is only 19) just talking about issues they face. She came out or the meeting happy and chirpy and more like herself than I've seen her in months. Thank Ba'al.

Gravatar'NYT' Reporter Who Got Iraqi WMDs Wrong, Now Covers Iran Claims
___________

Thank you. I snarl at monofocus stories on how Iran is supplying Iraq, as though it is the only source of aid. Why do we not hear more angles on WHO has ordered focussing the spotlight on targeting Iran? Who is coordinating both the demonization of the country from every angle and the grabbing of their ambassadors?

Today in NYT the point was made that Iranians were apprehended in the same locales where bombs went off. Well duh. There might have been other people in those locales who weren't apprehended.

My big dream, if I ever win the lottery, it to have an olive ranch in Northern California. And I thought I'd have a string of olive-related retail outlets all across the country, selling different "vintages" of olive oil and olive wood gifts and olive oil products like soaps and whatnot.

Biggs High OKs display against war

BIGGS -- A Biggs High School freshman and her father reposted their large display critical of the Iraq war on school grounds Friday after officials gave their OK.
Freshman Keosha Chambers and her father, Mark, claimed her First Amendment rights were being violated when the school took the display down Thursday.

On Friday, the Chamberses were allowed to retrieve the large display from the school and repost it, according to Mark Chambers. The sign was slightly torn, but in good condition.

"My daughter was ecstatic that we got to post it," he said.

The display stretched most of the length of a former middle school building. It bears the names of the American soldiers killed during the Iraq war and includes the phrase, "Support our troops not militarism."

Keosha Chambers had questioned the Iraqi conflict. She was also concerned about the school's homecoming theme, "Support Our Troops," and Thursday's "Military Day" where students were encouraged to wear garments with military symbols.


Gravatar'Alas, no.

you've chosen an excellent place to advertize your admirable qualities, anyway.

:-}

Definately the Ceasar. Sometimes with salmon or shrimp. They can't cook redfish though.

When you come back to visit - check out Lil Dizzy's - lunch place run by the Baquet family - the trout baquet is fabulous. And I had a stuffed crab Po'boy that would feed a family of 6.


GravatarI think it's high time you learn to administer your own perverted enemas.

Next you'll be saying I'm too old to breastfeed.


GravatarMrs. Moe is a very lucky woman!

Mr el makes coffee and meals around here, too. Career taking place over the dinner hour does the trick. Wink wink

Wise. I used to always get the chicken Caesar wrap on the fly when working doubles during the season; loved 'em.

I'd never eat the fist at LPK, indeed.

Address for Lil Dizzy's? Or approx location?


GravatarI've always felt there is little difference between fishing and doing nothing at all.

Good morning all.

at least in public. We got laws here.


GravatarThers and I actually split the cooking and childcare about 50/50. But he hates to clean, so I end up doing most of that.

But he does not do mornings.

Um, no, really...

It's not you... it's me.


GravatarWell, Mrs. Moe really can't cook, so there's that. We started this arrangement when I couldn't work. I'm working nowadays, but we've kept it up. Funny how that works.

In NY, the law says that you're allowed to breastfeed anywhere you're allowed to be legally. I don't think it notes the age of the breastfeeder.


GravatarTime to make the trek down to get the paper, all. Coffee was made a long time ago, and Mrs. Rev is not quite up yet.


Have a great day. Even you, NTodd.

OH...not only do we not have a Wegman's, we don't even have a TasteeFreeze.


GravatarIt's not you... it's me.

Are you lactating?


GravatarLil Dizzy's is on Esplanade - one block down river of Claiborne.

B'fast and lunch - 7:30 am - 2:30 pm - Mon- Friday.

Amoung other things to recommend it, it is the only place in the whole city where you are guaranteed to find a cop.

activism of the young is so encouraging. It wasn't on the radar screen when I was in high school. My daughter's history class has had a week long debate on chimpy's war, Geneva protocols, Gitmo, assigned topics to each student.

Daughter reports hatred coming from the few fundies in class, they are rabid, but are taking a lot of heat from the critical mass of liberals.

Well, if it's down by Claiborne, I ain't surprised about a police presence.

I think my psychotic ex once played a gig at a club very near there...

Assuming I survive this diss defense, I plan on a vacation in early June... perhaps to NOLA, not sure yet...

If so, I'll definitely check it out, on top of LPK and Fiorella's and Star and cetera and cetera.

I believe that it's very un-American of you to not wallow in the ANS story, especially now that her half-sister is claiming that Dannielynn is the product of 'dna' from her late hubby.


GravatarWe're over 1K and things are slowing: should I open a new thread?

YES!


GravatarYes, Molly, please. That will assure Atrios' awakening.

GravatarFracking "Adobe Updater" never succeeds. Hate it!


GravatarGah, it's giving me crap because Atrios hasn't upgraded to new Blogger.


Gravatarel, here there are a couple girls who got expelled for bringing Confed.flag deco purses to school bringing a case in court in defense of their pride in the heritage.


GravatarNew Blogger, New Coke, New Bush


Gravatar"We wuz Slavuhs, and we're proud uv it!"


GravatarGah, it's giving me crap because Atrios hasn't upgraded to new Blogger.

I finally made the switch on my old site(s) because it kept bugging me when I wanted to search the archive. Fuckers.


GravatarNow my comments won't reload. But in case this posts, 'experts say terror threat to SMU real' is headlines in DMNews. oh, go for it.
