Good evening.

In the grand tradition of Republicans, Rudi stays out of jail on a technicality:
Hevesi?
A number of you have written in why the Judi car on the city dime isn't landing Rudy in the same kind of trouble that ended state comptroller Alan Hevesi's career. We addressed this a couple days ago. The law in question appears to apply only to state officeholders. More details here.

Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air have announced a new program that will charge heterosexuals 10 percent extra for their air travel to specific locations during the Christmas season.
The company actually offers the 10 percent as a discount but only if the purchaser obtains the ticket through a "gay" page of the company's website, a location not typically patronized by families seeking travel arrangements, according to an Idaho activist who was distressed by the offering.
Bryan Fischer, of the Idaho Values Alliance, told WND the company boasts of its "nondiscrimination" policies, but, "here they are blatantly discriminating against heterosexuals in their pricing structure."
Word of the discount came through an airline employee, who needed to remain anonymous because of concerns over retaliation. The employee reported the company had sent e-mails out announcing the "very soft launch" of the new promotion.
"They are giving preferences to male passengers who want to wear dresses on the planes, and giving them preference over married couples," Fischer said, noting families typically buy more tickets than individuals or pairs traveling together.
Deadthreaded:
Speaking of tonsils, there was an interesting theoretical paper out recently about how the function of the appendix may be as a reservior to help repopulate the gut bacterial flora after massive disruptions from cholera, dysentery, and similar diseases. One of the researchers interviewed in the CNN.com story on the work said he thought the tonsils might function similarly for the oral bacterial community.

This one's my personal fave from their last album.
"They usually, but not always, run the case except for induction and emergence, and, of course, if there's a problem, in which case the anaesthesiologist (MD) attends."
yes. that was my understanding, and what I saw the last time i was in an OR with a living patient.
the anaesthesiologist had 4 cases going at once, with nurse anaesthetists at each table during the surgeries. he was just there at the beginning and end of each.
I had no idea this was how it worked, and was pretty shocked to see him sitting and reading a GQ, but that's how it worked there....his beeper would go off and he'd go start or end another one..

Smoking --
I have been hypnotized, taken Freedom from Smoking (twice), used patches, chewed straws, chewed cinnamon sticks, drunk gallons of water, changed where I sat, not smoked in the car, used my other hand, colored mandalas, brushed my teeth every time I ate something . . .
I got a Rx for Wellbutrin but from what I read it's not for people who drink alcohol, or at least they scared the crap out of me about having a seizure if I either 1. quit drinking or 2. had a drink . . .
Damn, I'm lame!

Weird, nobody in my whole extended family ever smoked. And except my paternal grandfather, nobody drank, either, meaning not at all. But they took their vices out in other forms, such as chasing each other with gigantic pins and poisoning each others' cows with arsenic and so on.
It would be good if the genetic testing would be used to help people (as opposed to helping insurance companies redline the potential insured) identify risk factors for various diseases. If you had the genes that would make it more likely to have say, adult onset diabetes, you'd know to stay the heck away from sugar, and to stay very thin.
But, as far as I know other than looking at family history, this still is not possible tech. yet...

Tallulah Bankhead died in St. Luke's Hospital in New York City of double pneumonia arising from influenza, complicated by emphysema, at the age of 66 on December 12, 1968, and is buried in Saint Paul's Churchyard, Chestertown, Maryland. [1]

And speaking of the car, if it's been your habit to smoke in the car, get the ashtrays washed out thoroughly & fill them with something else. Cedar shavings, maybe. Just don't let them be ashtrays, and don't let them smell like ashtrays. Same with ashtrays in the house -- throw them out, and the ones you can't throw out, clean thoroughly and use as candy dishes.
And consider all the moments that have called for a cigarette -- for me it was answering the phone at work. Plan ahead what you're going to do instead of lighting up. (And don't be surprised if you get surprised. About a year after I quit, I was making a little dress for my great-niece -- I used to a sewing project about once a year or so. And I finished a little sleeve and laid it down -- and was hit with a wave of GOTTA HAVE A WINSTON. For all those years I'd rewarded myself with a smoke after finishing a piece -- and I'd forgotten about that.)
You can do it!!

Good advice. You have to dissociate cigarettes from certain activities. Like driving, or after a good meal, or good sex, or a good dump.

You can't choose your parents too carefully. But, having done so, it's the hand you were dealt, and you have to play it, regardless...
My parents both smoked. My father smoked until just before he died of a heart attack related to prostate cancer. My mother stopped smoking after she spent more than a month in a hospital being treated for leukemia.
I managed 3 weeks without smokes a few months back. I was so proud with myself. And then it all went wrong!
I stopped a lifelong nail-biting habit just before my internship this summer. So far so good...

Anaesthesiology is a specialty that's adopted standards of care, consistent and with specified equipment and like that, to an extent that perhaps no other specialty has. Their malpractice premiums have fallen as the results improve, as complications are spotted and dealt with earlier. When I was a resident in the 1970s, I would have killed for a pulse oximeter, which is now quite standard even in sedation procedures; I spent many a night drawing repeated samples from arteries to check on my respirator settings. No longer necessary nearly as much...

Having two parents who smoked, and whose smoking was a very significant factor in both of their early deaths, has pretty much guaranteed I've got no interest in taking up the habit.

My mother once tried nicotine patches to quit, but found that they gave her nightmares. She never did manage to quit.
She died of lung cancer last year. She was first diagnosed in June of 2005. The doctor gave her 18 months. She lasted 15. The only "good" part was that she only really went downhill in the last three.

Heh, that week I was supposed to fly to Atlanta to teach. But a buddy of mine was stranded in Atlanta because of the airline groundings, so he took that class for me.
My first flight post 9/11 was the first week of October, down to IAD. NTodd's Pa's Wife was rather concerned. I didn't really care, though I'd just proposed to Stef.

Wait 'till you see the circumstances under which he hits on Martha the first time.
You've heard rumors. Cynthia McKinney does indeed seek the Green Party nomination for President of the USA. Probably you already know about Cynthia; if you want to learn more, and read the latest, check out http://www.runcynthiarun.org/. She has filed on the Green Party ballot line in several states already, including Illinois and Arkansas, and has registered as a Green in California, her new home state. She's already making appearances around the country for local Green parties and their candidates -- including visits to South Carolina, Maine, and New York before last week's elections.
Cynthia is actively fundraising. With your help, Cynthia McKinney can qualify as a candidate eligible for Federal matching campaign funds. To do so, she must certify that she has met the "threshold requirement" for eligibility by raising at least $5,000 in each of at least 20 states. (While any contribution up to $2,300 per donor is welcome in support of this campaign, only the first $250 of each individual contribution counts toward that total. Grassroots Democracy.)
Cynthia also wants to run in all 51 states and the District of Columbia, so her Houston event will also raise funds for GPTX ballot access, in the very difficult state of Texas.
Also, keep your ear to the ground about the GPTX Silent Auction. It will be held at Ruta Maya Coffeehouse in Austin in December 5. We plan to take preliminary bids on at least certain items in Houston.

My pilot relative was a mess of shredded nerves until they got those reinforced doors. Weirdly enough, I have done quite well with flying since, because the fear was about other stuff than terrorists. You know, real stuff, like a hole opening in the bottom of the plane and a giant hairy hand snatching me off like a flea.
Doug: absolutely. I did surgery, and I didn't need ETCO2 so much as pH/pCO2/pO2/HCO3-. Running a respirator on o2 saturation with occasionally getting ABGs was just wonderful: fewer a-lines and sticks; more current data; instant response from changes.
I can really make a current trainee laugh with stories about the old days: pressure-cycled Bird respirators; IV drips by gravity; Swan-Ganz lines as a brand new thing, rarely to be applied; the list goes on and on...

I liked the old Bird vents. They were a great example of 'forever' engineering. Other than replacing the rubberoid parts, the filters and cleaning them, there wasn't much to go wrong with the devices. It's a shame Dr. Forest Bird isn't still alive and designing. It'd be nice to see what he'd do with more modern tech. (modern US engineers seem to have difficulty making anything work well)

I've never been afraid of terror or hijacking. I flew by myself when I was a kid and I loved it.
Then I flew with my mom, who had had a skeery experience involving a prop plane and some trees in Puerto Rico, and she scared the crap outta me.
Then I had to take a flight from Houston to come home for a visit; I almost had the friend who was taking me to the airport turn around -- I didn't think I could do it. But I went ahead, and that flight was the closest I will ever come to getting killed in a plane crash, without a doubt. It. Was. Terrifying.
But lately I've gotten a little better; coming home from DC in September I didn't even take anything! I think I get re-scared because I don't do it enough; return trips are always much easier.

Frequency certainly helps a lot, and the tips I learned in that course are great. Like what to eat, not to overdose on caffeine beforehand (makes you nervous), the way to move the body when the plane takes off to remove that feeling of not being able to orient, breathing and so on.

Tallulah Bankhead died in St. Luke's Hospital in New York City of double pneumonia arising from influenza, complicated by emphysema, at the age of 66 on December 12, 1968, and is buried in Saint Paul's Churchyard, Chestertown, Maryland. [1]
Her last words: Codeine... bourbon. [17]

That's how I want to go. Or like an acquaintence who just died of a stroke, quickly, and was not left a vegetable for years, like another friend. I don't want to see another George W. Bush elected. Or a Ron Paul.

Recently saw Day The Earth Stood Still (again). There's a scene where two doctors are marvelling at Klaatu's extreme good health and longevity. One of them says something like "Their medicine is so advanced compared to ours that I feel like a witch doctor". He then shakes a cigarette out of its pack, lights up and takes a long, slow, contemplative drag.
Franny and Ida are sitting on the couch w/ me.

All my anxiety comes from worrying about if I'll get to the airport on time, and/or if the plane will be late.

There is a compilation of silly cat videos on youtube. One of the best vignettes has a cat in a hurry to investigate a full bathtub. In an instant it clearly dawns on her that she is careening into water, and she tries to paw at the air as her nose is going in, and she flies out of the water as fast as she shot in.

When you are working a late night shift and you've just woken up what do you call the first meal of the day?
Blupper, supperfest? Blunch?
Doug
Well, right now it's called a chicken sandwich...
The funniest thing about working night shift is when there is a party or other function you want to attend in the early evening the day after. If the other people are eating, having fun and drinking, you start doing it too, even if you have only been awake a few hours.
I have had Tex-Mex for "breakfast" more than most, let's just say.

He then shakes a cigarette out of its pack, lights up and takes a long, slow, contemplative drag. And not just any cigarette, but a Camel. Because more doctors smoke Camel than any other brand.

All African problems -- all of them -- are ultimately Europe's fault. European wealth is largely African wealth. The next time you think Africa is poor, look at even an average castle or museum in Belgium. Richard Branson was interviewed somewhere and tried to knock Thabo Mbeki, who had been trying different things to include no longer respected fringe theories about AIDS, but honestly would it be that much better if the only variable improved was Mbeki?

"Both my parents were heavy smokers, but the habit has always grossed me out bigtime. Let alone cigarette smoke, I hate the smell of tobacco, period. Repulsive stuff."
I am beginning to wonder about that a bit. I am a smoker since 18. However my dad was a pipe and cigar smoker and I grew up with it. Can't stand cigars normally now, but they didn't bother me growing up. Pipes are memory jogs for me depending on the tobacco and don't bother me at all. Despite being a moderate to heavy smoker, I am not fond of other people's cigarette smoke. I keep all my smoking outside and have for years.
I have friends who do not smoke and are not bothered by it at all if they get stuck with me in my truck. (The van is smoke free).
I am coming to the conclusion there are specific physical predispositions with people and how they react to tobacco smoke.
Just weird.
Thanks, baba, I'm aware of it and it's probably next.
"the ex had a relative that woke up to find a few of his toes had been chewed off in the night."
In a student ghetto apartment I lived in decades ago, I had a disagrement with the landlord about the presence of rats.
He said I was imagining them.
One night I woke when one bit my foot.
That did it! That night I moved everything into a friends garage, caught a rat, put it into a tin box with the keys and left it for the landlord with a note;
apartment keys and imaginary rat.

We were once on an abysmal, small, rumored to be technically obsolete transport called the Fort McHenry (named after the fort at which the Star Spangled Banner had been composed). Even at the dock parking lot it looked small. Up close it was so much bigger than any other single object save a skyscraper that it was impossible to see anything else. And it was part of a group with other small ships that were bigger; this was the smallest!

Depressing to see great talent wasted. Millions of goats worldwide, longing to be blown, yet pud comes here instead.
Think of it this way. Pud is here harassing people, spewing nonsense for no other reason than getting attention. Why? He or she is not fighting the good fight. There is nothing meaningful, thought provoking and progressive in the content. No minds are changed at all due to the lack of content that would engage information and update it. So there is no purpose in Pud showing up except to get his ir her rocks off on being a pest. It means Pud is not spending time with people that like him, want him around and can effectively socialize with him. So this is it, this is all Pud has. Must be sad that this is the only way to achieve some validation of his or her existence.

Why do some people who never smoke develop lung cancer? Why do some people who smoke live to a ripe old age, then when they die of natural causes, smoking is put down as a cause of death with no post mortem performed? Smoking is a filthy habit but is it as bad as Dioxin and other crap in our environment? If alcohol,(again, not a great habit) was as bad as we are all told, how did we ever fight a revolution and found this nation? What do you think those people drank all day and all night long?
The study of epigenetics seems to indicate that your behaviors and environment affect your offspring as much, if not more, than it does you. As it was with your parents and theirs before them. It's no wonder we have slowly been going downhill.

If you want to hear the re-written version of the Escovedo song that's on Bush's iPod, go to http://www.myspace.com/alejandroescovedo and click on "Castanets."
It's just a snappy little rock'n'roll song ("I tried to write a Mott the Hoople song") and not at all typical of what the String Quartet's playing, but it does rock.
What was that song from maybe ten years ago that made reference to Telluride? It might have been a country song.

Eb: no question whatever, from every imaginable line of investigation, that smoking is the single most important single cancer-causing agent out there. None. Whatever. Not everyone who smokes gets cancer, nor is every cancer caused by smoking. Doesn't change it.
No evidence we're going downhill, either physically or mentally. People are bigger, healthier, better educated, lead longer lives etc. than ever before in history.
Alcohol is a pretty harmless habit for the seven out of eight who don't tend towards alcoholism. It's hard to show any detriment to around 2-3 drinks per day for men, 1-2 for women, and there are actually some benefits. Above that level, you start to see an increased incidence (again, not a certainty) of health problems: bad livers, bad hearts, pancreatitis, diabetes, cancers, like that; a long list.

Beware, rest of the world: US states is has the right to kidnap any person of any nationality it suspects of a crime. Anywhere that person may be.
AMERICA has told Britain that it can “kidnap” British citizens if they are wanted for crimes in the United States.
A senior lawyer for the American government has told the Court of Appeal in London that kidnapping foreign citizens is permissible under American law because the US Supreme Court has sanctioned it.
The admission will alarm the British business community after the case of the so-called NatWest Three, bankers who were extradited to America on fraud charges. More than a dozen other British executives, including senior managers at British Airways and BAE Systems, are under investigation by the US authorities and could face criminal charges in America.
Until now it was commonly assumed that US law permitted kidnapping only in the “extraordinary rendition” of terrorist suspects.
The American government has for the first time made it clear in a British court that the law applies to anyone, British or otherwise, suspected of a crime by Washington.
Legal experts confirmed this weekend that America viewed extradition as just one way of getting foreign suspects back to face trial. Rendition, or kidnapping, dates back to 19th-century bounty hunting and Washington believes it is still legitimate.

And watching "I Need You" led me via sidebar to "Another Girl," which has got to be the single best movie-music-clip ever done.

Few smokers or drinkers do it as volitional steps to suicide. That's facile.

Nothing volitional about this form of suicide. The death wish is subconscious and we all have it. That's not to say everybody is committing suicide, but those of us who are drawn to whatever, alcohol, nicotine, pills, pot, will, in many cases, live shorter lives.

I just can't believe there isn't somebody out there who realizes what kind of draw Hard Days Night, Help and Yellow Submarine would have to a fucking great whacking lot of viewers.
If I was trying to get a new cable channel going I would buy the rights to run each of those three about ten times each over the course of a year's time. It wouldn't matter what the rest of the subject matter of the channel was, it could be weather or soap operas or Vedic philosophy or knitting. That channel would have ratings to die for.

Otherwise winter here is nice. There's been a mostly gentle misty rain, for the last couple of days, except for one blow where there were 70mph winds for a bit.
No damage, this house and it's roof are very solid. Good insulation so that even if it does get down to 20 or 30F for the couples nights a year where that might happen, even in a wind storm this place stays comfortable.

It's lightly snowed all day out here in B.C. By nightfall the snow has increased some. It's no fun to see snow when you live on a mountain and have a steep driveway to boot. But the "soft quiet peace" of it conjures up memories of my childhood in Brooklyn (flat) and brings a smile to my face.

Grit Bin
A grit bin or salt bin is an item of street furniture, commonly found in countries where freezing temperatures and snowfall occur , that holds a mixture of salt and grit that is spread over roads if they have snow or ice on them. A grit bin improves winter road safety on roads which are not gritted by other means, such as from a winter service vehicle.

Anyone may use a grit bin. Typically, a spade or shovel is used to spread a thin layer of grit onto the road surface, covering any snow or ice. The salt component of the grit lowers the melting point of the snow causing it to melt (see sodium chloride). The grit component improves the friction between a vehicle's tires and the road.
Some grit bins have a small compartment, which could be used for storing a spade or shovel. The one featured in the photograph at the top of the page is filled through the top hatch.
Grit bins are often subjected to vandalism, often being subjected to arson. A grit bin's lid is often left open, leaving rain to wash away the salt in the mixture, rendering it useless. In the United Kingdom, the local county council is usually responsible for maintaining and refilling grit bins.
Members of the public can inform their local council if a grit bin needs refilling, has been damaged or tipped over, or if there are no bins on a road that is not gritted by any other method.
The road I used to live in used to be the through road between Hamilton, and Butte. Since the freeway between Butte and Missoula had been put in sometime in the early 60's that road (the state highway I'd lived on) was closed where it went though the mountains. Never less, the Montana highway dept still maintained it as if it actually went somewhere. Most snowy mornings they'd be out long before dawn ploughing (half the time knocking down my mail box in the process) sanding and putting on a salt, though not sodium chloride. I'm nor sure what they used, though it seemed to work even in -20F temps which table salt won't.

I (being 14 or so at the time) hated Yoko because I was told she had Broken Up the Band.
But then awhile later I too started hearing about some of her art work. And they sounded incredibly cool and creative and every time I tried to say "I could have thought of that" it struck me that, um, no I couldn't have.
And John did love her so. That was what finally did it. And the way she held herself and Sean together after he was murdered finally cinched the deal. She is a fucking brilliant woman and I admire her tremendously.

PROGRESSIVE - well, i believe the earth is round
CONSERVATIVE - oh yeah? did you walk around the earth yourself to prove it? how do you know?
PROGRESSIVE - well, the preponderance of scientific opinion is that the earth is roughly a round shape, and that's what most people believe.
CONSERVATIVE - ha! now it's not "round" - it's "roughly a round shape"! Changing the goalposts again - typical liberal behavior. And this reliance on 'scientific opinion' and the opinion of 'most people'. well let me tell you the truth, my friend! 'Most people' are mislead by the liberal MSM, which has its own vested interest in making people believe the earth is not flat, and i have two reports here by eminent scientists, proving that the preponderance of scientific opinion is wrong about this round earth theory. geez, you liberals are so stubborn - you get these liberal memes into your heads, and you won't listen to logic!!! You're just dumb! And stop insulting me and using ad hominem arguments, too!!
PROGRESSIVE - well, nevertheless, i continue to believe that the earth is not flat
CONSERVATIVE - WHAT KIND OF PROOF WILL CONVINCE YOU OF THE TRUTH DAMMIT YOU CAN LOOK RIGHT OUT YOUR WINDOW AND SEE FOR YOURSELF THAT THE EARTH IS FLAT WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST AMERICA YOU LIBERALS JUST WANT THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO GET ON A SHIP AND FALL OFF THE EDGE OF THE WORLD OR GET EATEN BY THE GIANT SEA SERPENTS IN THE NORTH POLE!!!!!

It's strange: although pine and fir trees both clearly appear green in sunlight, under sodium streetlights
firs appear green, but pines look orange.
I've also read that pine trees interfere with the operation of infrared heat sensors, so if police are chasing a suspect at night by heat signature, hiding under a pine tree will foil them.
Sigh. I had so hoped that dastardly Flash ad for the "Heartland Presidential Forum" would disappear after the event.

wow...my house is surrounded by pine trees...on google earth when you zoom in, I can hardly see anything.
Wonder how pine trees can interfere with infrared?
As I understand it, pine trees' unique chemistry generates heat in ways most other plants do not --
weird, innit?
More random notes: many varieties of pine are unsuited to our area because they cannot long tolerate saturated soil -- but many other conifers don't mind it a bit.

In the winter the sun comes up over the southeastern mountain range as late as 9:20; in the summer it appeares at 5:30. Makes the changing seasons that much more noticeable.
There's a genetic component, too, Waltraud; and no human evolved eating as many carbohydrates as most eat now.
Check out this article of predictions written in 1900. VERY accurate!
Not denying anything.
not one person in my family has ever had diabetes but then we don't think food 24/7 like you
The short days nip at my emotions, Marcellina --
I vastly prefer the longer ones.
Morning peeps.
Went to a xmas party yesterday. It was fun. I really like salesmen. They always have a mildly funny patter and listen like they're really interested in what you are saying. Whether they are or not.
Waltraud, I don't give a shit what any of you do; nor how superior you like to pretend you are.
Whoops, Here's the link

well then try something like meditation, yoga or a nice walk. much healthier. food is not medication.
I've never seen any kind of medical screening till fairly recently, that address familial disease tendencies. In any case many of us develop 'interesting' chronic diseases, that there is no clear family history for.
Genetic screening is still a long way from being a useful tool to tell people they are likely to get this illness or another.
For a diabetic, food is scientific; assembling it correctly is essential and something one faces every day.
me, I'm not superior to anyone. I just know that when I am depressed, drinking or eating just makes it worse. pleasant activity makes it better. that is common sense.
and stirring up trouble by blaming people for doing things they did not do is not a pleasant activity. it causes stress as there are unpleasant repercussion.
My daughter, she crazy. Vee hate mimi. She smell.

Non-physician, heal thyself.
Actually, mimi and her mama are in France now.
The light "shortage" bothers me too, although not as much as it used to. I find lighting candles in the late afternoon somehow helps in the long run ( maybe its a placebo but it seems to work) plus excercise. Also not taking the holidays seriously.
My daughter, she bitch. She stink. Vee hate.
no, no healing is needed. I am lucky that my parents taught me good habits.
Vhen she young, she burn dog.
The weatherbots have been all a-twitter about the massive extra-tropical cyclone heading our way.
One of the recommendations in the event of a power outage is NOT to burn candles. Hee hee.
Waltraud, he my seester son, vit black father.
It's funny, I kind of notice the shorter days, but once removed. Has very little effect on me. I know people who go into deep depressions about it.
If you're so fabulous, by all means lord it over those less blessed than you.
From Weather Underground, today is going to be 1m 23sec shorter than the previous day.
always a lot of domestic animals with all our relatives. we would never hurt an animal.
My Christmas "traditions" of late involve opening all my gifts way before the holiday, lighting all the Advent wreath candles before one is supposed to, and making my boyfriend suffer through the Elvis Christmas CD at least once!
I'm excited about getting a few more decorations put up. Already have a wreath on the front door.
There's been 1.5" of rain on my land in the last two days according to my rain gages.
BTW, ace hardware has been selling a cheap injection molded plastic rain gage that is very accurate.
plantsman, I do not eat ice cream every day. not even a small cup. plain yogurt, yes.
does that make me lucky or just using common sense?
making my boyfriend suffer through the Elvis Christmas CD at least once!
We have some really cool Bluegrass Christmas CD's that have been amassed over the years.
Some of them have incredible versions of the seasonal classics in instrumental form.
I now declare this thread Too Long.
does that make me lucky or just using common sense?
Lucky, there are many people a single cup of yogurt would make sick.
Waltraud, I did not eat any ice cream for an entire year until Thanksgiving, and then only tiny portions. Why keep lecturing me about how wise you are? I don't need your snide self-satisfaction.
then stop blaming people who don't even use a car for global warming.
owls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't use a car either, and I haven't blamed anyone for global warming, you twit!

I have several jazz Christmas cds, they make for nice background music when I'm doing my holiday baking.
mimi as baby

resorting to name calling is the last desperate effort of the denier when confronted with reality.
