Millions of UK consumers are expected to spend Christmas Day shopping online as major retailers begin selling discounted goods via the internet.
Marks & Spencer, Halfords, PC World, Argos, Comet and Dixons launch web sales at 0001 GMT on 25 December.
Industry body the Interactive Media in Retail Group predicted 3.57m Britons will hunt for deals on Christmas Day.
The IMRG's CEO, James Roper, said: "The desire to shop doesn't go away and the web fills a niche when stores close."

College Station is pretty much of a hellhole isn't it?
Russia's judo-loving President, Vladimir Putin, has recorded an instructional DVD along with Japanese Olympic champion Yasuhiro Yamashita.
The DVD will be released as a supplement to a judo manual and is due to come out in January or February, the Kremlin's most famous black belt said.
He and Yamashita attended a judo lesson in his home city St Petersburg, two years ago after meeting in Tokyo.
"Sports like judo teach you mutual respect," Mr Putin said.
"Respect for your rival, with the knowledge that an adversary who appears weak can put up resistance and even beat you if you lose concentration and become complacent."

Marshmallows are easiest made with a stand mixer.
Combine 3T plain gelatine with 1/2 cup cold water and allow it to stand for one hour. Easiest to do this in the mixing bowl.
After about 1/2 hour prepare a syrup.
Place in a heavy bottomed pan over low heat:
2 cups sugar
3/4 cups light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/4 t. salt.
when the mixture starts to boil cover the pan for three minutes to wash own any sugar crystals that have formed.
Continue to cook over high heat until the temperaturereaches 244*. Do not stir while it cooks or you will create crystals that will make the final product grainy.
Remove the 244* syrup from the heat and while the mixer turns slowly pour it over the gelatine. Use the balloon whisk. continue to beat until the mixture thickens (15 minutes) it is done when the cream comes of the whisk in slow strands.
Add 2T. vanilla and blend it in. Coat an 8x12 glass pan with a light dusting of cornstarch. Pour the marshmallow minxture into the pan and dust the top with cornstarch. Allow it to sit uncovered for 12 hours. Turn it out onto a cornstarched surface and cut into cubes. To coat with chocolate, dust off the cornstarch and dip as any other candy.
ROOOOOOWWWWWWWR!
I finally got around to watching "Children of Men" yesterday, near the end during the birthing scene and afterwards I realized I was watching a nativity story. LOL that angle was unexpected, but the final scenes were the most powerful of the film IMO.

Ah, merci, chat d'enfer.
With the rate of reload for a skilled marksman at about 3X per minute it gives me a lot of respect for the country marksmen who fought in the Revolution.
The only compensation for modern troops is that while you don't have to be as skilled with the loading process, the catch is that everything is more deadly...and military medicine can keep you from dying, but can never give you back your life.
I do love homemade French fries though. Going to drain and towel dry the sliced potatoes from the ice bath now. Give them a one-minute fry, and stick them in the freezer for an hour before finishing them off.

WASHINGTON - Former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had a plan to suspend the rules against illegal detention and arrest up to 12,000 Americans he suspected of being disloyal, according to a newly declassified document.
Hoover sent his plan to the White House on July 7, 1950, less than two weeks after the Korean War began. But there is no evidence to suggest that President Truman or any subsequent president approved any part of Hoover's proposal to house suspect Americans in military and federal prisons.
Hoover had wanted Truman to declare the mass arrests necessary to "protect the country against treason, espionage and sabotage," The New York Times reported Saturday in a story posted on its Web site.
The plan called for the FBI to apprehend all potentially dangerous individuals whose names were on a list Hoover had been compiling for years.

Hah, just got back from getting some beers from the bar.
The bartender asked for my room number, and I said "102".
He said, "Do you know who stayed in that room?" I answered "Richtoffen"
He nodded.
I asked, "Do you know what's wrong with the toilet", he said "Its backward"
See, I'm not going crazy.
Barndog, Where do you fish and what are you angling for?
WASHINGTON - Former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had a plan to suspend the rules against illegal detention and arrest up to 12,000 Americans he suspected of being disloyal, according to a newly declassified document.
Hope he's enjoying hell.
The trend toward fewer conflicts reported by peace researchers since the late 1990s now seems to have been broken. This is shown in the latest annual report “States in Armed Conflict,” from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program at the Uppsala University Department of Peace and Conflict Research. The findings worry the researchers. The Middle East is the region where peace initiatives are most conspicuous in their absence.
Since the most conflict-ridden years in the early to mid 1990s, a continuous decline was registered up to 2005. Since that time the number has held steady at around 30 active armed conflicts per year. This is probably also the case for 2007.

Very seldom do people go with me - least up north anyways. I have a number of 'fishing buddies' in the areas which I do fish.
It's always a great time...even if they aren't biting. That's kind of the point of it all. Fish are a bonus, but being in the streams, doing what I've enjoyed since I was 4 (ish), well, just can't be beaten in my book.
Just the way I learned to enjoy it in the first place.

Hoover was an example of precisely the sort of old world classic governmental corruption that the founding fathers wanted to avoid. The only reason he stayed in power at all was because he had dirt on everyone, and a lot of that dirt was stuff that shouldn't have mattered (for example, Roosevelt and Eisenhower had consensual heterosexual one-person-at-a-time non-bestial adult non-anal sex outside of marriage).

You couldn't get my mom out of Tustin with blasting caps. OC is one big stucco nightmare. It wasn't that way when I was a kid. We had an orange grove behind our house. On spring nights you could open the windows and it was quiet and smelling of blossoms. Saddleback Mountain was visible on most days. Then they built South coast PLaza and that was the end of it all.
There's nothing wrong with eating more vegetables and less meat.
Sure there is: the meat tastes better.

This is comical:
Thompson is betting that a third place finish in Iowa -- ahead of former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Sen. John McCain, both of whom have abandoned the state -- will give him the momentum he needs to compete in New Hampshire and beyond.

True story. Back in the day, before they got big, Jack in the Box used to have "Ralston Purina Co." (cat food) printed on the bottoms of their bags. Even though Ralston Purina owned them they finally wised up and stopped printing it on their bags..
I shudder to think what would happen if J Edgar Crossdresser would have served under Chimpy:
Former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had a plan to suspend the rules against illegal detention and arrest up to 12,000 Americans he suspected of being disloyal, according to a newly declassified document.
Hoover sent his plan to the White House on July 7, 1950, less than two weeks after the Korean War began. But there is no evidence to suggest that President Truman or any subsequent president approved any part of Hoover's proposal to house suspect Americans in military and federal prisons.
Hoover had wanted Truman to declare the mass arrests necessary to "protect the country against treason, espionage and sabotage," The New York Times reported Saturday in a story posted on its Web site.

Wandering around the internets just now I came across these very fine words from Rep Jesse Jackson , Jr., delivered on the occasion of Bill Clinton's impeachment, just nine years ago:
Today Republicans are impeaching Social Security, they are impeaching affirmative action, they are impeaching women's right to choose, Medicare, Medicaid, Supreme Court justices who believe in equal protection under the law for all Americans.

Upon another millisecond's thought and analysis, perhaps McCain will be the one to "lose" in '08. Everyone with an ounce of sense realizes that the Democrats will win the election. The only question is who will be holding the Gooptard sign when they sink. McCain might well be a good choice for that. It will end his national ambitions.

As a flock of tourists strode up to the entrance of the Church of the Nativity - the reputed site of Jesus Christ's birth - a Palestinian tour guide moved in for the hard sell.
"Do you need a guide?" asked Adil Dweib as the visitors marched by him without saying a word.
In previous years, Mr Dweib would have pursued the group, but this time he shrugged his shoulders and rejoined a couple of colleagues leaning against a wall.
"This year is like 2000," says Mr Dweib - a slight exaggeration perhaps, as the millennium year was a bumper time for tourism in Bethlehem.
"Business is good and next year there will be hopefully even more tourists," he adds.
Community and business leaders, shopkeepers and tour guides, all tell you the same thing: the economy is getting better in this Christian pilgrimage centre in the rolling West Bank hills.

India's Minister for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury has outlined ambitious plans to help the country's young widows.
Ms Chowdhury wants them to overcome poverty, lead meaningful lives and, if they want, get remarried.
India's dominant Hinduism frowns on widows remarrying and they often see their social and economic power eroded.
Government figures show there are 33 million widows in India - many of them poor and some very young.
Previous initiatives aimed at improving their lives have achieved little and their continuing plight makes a government initiative sorely needed.

I'm not so sure, Nick. The president has already started hinting that the spendthrift ways of Congress are going to put a drag on the economy.
A classic. Barney Frank (D-MA) on Mitt Romney
“The real Romney is clearly an extraordinarily ambitious man with no perceivable political principle whatsoever. He is the most intellectually dishonest human being in the history of politics.”
The reason Iraq violence is down is because the Sunnis and Shia have all scattered to ethnic enclaves to avoid being murdered.
Bushboy balkanized Iraq and now wants to take credit for it!
And the MSM plays along as if he accomplished something worthwhile.
The only way to really search for the origins of a river is from the air and during a flood. The Victorian expedition for the origin of the Nile was absurd. The real origin of the Nile is a huge geographical area only seen from space and these clowns are searching in vain like they would find a fawcet in the deep woods.

Interesting. Porn is simply something in which one demonstrates a prurient interest, apparently. A prurient interest is one marked by or arousing an immoderate or unwholesome interest or desire. So, there is gun porn, torture porn, celebrity gossip porn, religious porn, and all manner of other porn.
The key fact is that "porn" lives inside the observer, not in the material observed.

Someone above noted that it's not the troops or the war that will be the big mover in the next hellection, but rather the economy.
Let me count the ways.
1) Rich motherfuckers paying less in taxes than their secretaries.
2) The Fed giveth not a single shit about asset inflation, but comes down like a ton of bricks on anything remotely like wage growth.
3) Stagflation like the 1970s, which is always what happens when a war of choice is paid for not through taxation, but through debasement (inflation) of the currency.
4) Unregulated predatory lending has set the housing market up for a very very nasty tumble. No bottom in sight for YEARS to come.
5) All new bankruptcy law for the megajillionaires of the credit card scam, er, industry. Makes it nearly impossible to dump the credit debt when shit happens.
6) A Republican labor market, which is one in which millions of people have been out of work for so long that their benefits have expired and they no longer show up on the unemployment statistics. This allows employers to really fuck over their workers because other jobs are really difficult to find. Also helps keeping wages down since the employer can always fire the expensive help and hire cheap help (axe Circuit City how that's working for them).
7) No fucking health care for tens of millions, but an unbelievably rich and profitable health "insurance" industry. Hope your kid doesn't get seriously ill while you're holding down that third job at McDonald's.
Don't even THINK about protesting. Your name and picture goes into the Gooptard Enema's List and you can never get on another airplane without being harrassed.

Right now in Dallas it is 37 degrees and the wind is at 29 mph with gusts to 35 mph. I ventured out only once today - to the grocery store to buy 5 pounds of fresh green beans (that were shipped from Florida!) that I'll be preparing for Christmas eve at a friend's house. She has 16 people coming. I wonder how many hours it will take me to snap all five pounds? I could have cheated and bought frozen ones but that doesn't seem right for the holidays. I'll cook them with some olive oil and minced garlic, then toss them with slivered almonds. Oh crap, I forgot to buy the almonds. Back to the horribly crowded groc store tomorrow I guess.

What's a quality brand? I'm ready to take my Sambuca to the next level.
If you LIKE licorish-flavored alcohol *shudder*, try ouzo or Pernod.
The caraway flavor of akavit is not that dissimilar, either.
As for brands, i know none. Can't stand licorish flavored booze.

From my knothole, what Edwards is advocating looks more like nobless oblige. It's self-defense when it comes from the ones needing the defending, I think. Of course, it could be that he's advocating that we defend ourselves. I think that would be a valid read.
R. Manhammer, Packing Snink
I think you're right... Edwards' rhetoric does tend to focus on "the right thing to do" rather than "sticking it to the man," if you will.
I'm on the last chapter of Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine and she feels that the lessons learned in those countries in South America which appear to be successfully overcoming their bout with The Chicago School of privatization, looting, impoverishment and exploitation is that organization needs to be local and broadly-based.
I kid you not. They compared the Lexus bow keeping vs the BMW deal where they LOAN you the bow.

These are crucial points in a society composed of the obscenely wealthy and those who are so deluded that they think at some point they, too, will be obscenely wealthy and so need to defend the priveliges of the uber class.
If all I have to do to get a smoking hot model like this, then point me to some cars!

Yeah, after all, you imploded WTC 7, so anything's possible.
"If you LIKE licorish-flavored alcohol *shudder*, try ouzo or Pernod."
In an early MASH episode a Greek officer asked henry blake if he'd ever yried ouzo. Blake's response - yes I did - I woke up in a trash can.
My experience was similar.

She is absolutely correct. If we could become organized at that level and with some intensity, we Americans could reverse the fascist police state for the rich trend we are in currently. Of course, that would only last a generation.
Speaking of the wind, I just stepped out to have a smoke. Spit a big hock of phlegm and, I shit you not, it went on the roof.

"Class warfare"
Yeah, right - because the obscenely wealthy are SUCH victims.
Two Sambuca brands I've had:
Samuca Romano and Opal Nera
Once, a girlfriend and I sat up all night talking about our rotten boyfriends and drank a bottle of Sambuca. I threw up in the cat's litterbox that night.
Sweet memories.

Oh, but they are! Of course, it's "victim" in the same sense as the evangelical snake-loving xstian "victim." I.e., wholly made up.

OK, Bonus Critter Blogging is up.
This week's edition was caused by my needing something cute today.
I'm drinking Romano right now and it's not bad.
I'm wondering where on the quality scale it is, compared to say, the ne plus ultra of Sambucas, whatever that may be.
If you like liquorice flavored booze the green fairy is for you.
Absinthe.
Here's some nice critters for you...

When Italians put Sambuco in their caffe, it's called "caffe correcto."
They know.
My grandfather used to make anisette liquer every year and make "caffe correcto" for his family and friends.
D'oh!

Ah! White tail deer. The blondes of the forest. We like them.
Try absinthe
or Ouzo

BTW -- I highly recommend Krugman's "The Conscience of a Liberal"
Have I killed this thread (he asked, hopefully [astonishing everyone by using the word correctly)
Can you buy absinthe in the US?

It's legal, but demand is currently far exceeding supply.
I think student loans are about to become the next economic meltdown. I noticed, after the bankruptcy bill passed, there were a slew of commercials about how to get out of debt using home equity. Then came commercials about how to get out of credit card debt using home equity. Both types of debt are now feeding off one another. Now I'm seeing more adverts about how to refinance your student loan. And yes, I'm not an economist.
Last night we all met the Ouzo Stallion.

Candymarl
What a great idea! Roll up all one's debt into a home refinance, then walk away as the market crumbles. It slaughters the bankers, whose hearts are as dank and corroded as Dickless Cheney's (if he had one), but has a limited impact on normal people. Certainly far lower than trying to pay off a $100,000 student loan burden while plying one's trade.
i *think* that the Fed law now allows absinthe, but i also think some states still opt to ban sales.
i haven't seen any in KY.

I really KNOW this group of people. The interesting thing is that for some of them they DID make it. But of course they don't see that they made it because of a system from FDR that was set up to help them and prevent the robber barons and obscenely wealthy from winning all the time.
So they passed down the hate of the unions to their kids. They passed down the Aspirational world view to their kids. It is easier to say, 'We are not the poor and we will not stay poor and be with the poor. We are better than that.' than to say, "Let's stop the rich from screwing us."
They associate with the Republicans because THEY are the ones they want to be. Of course they never look at the lack of morality of the rich, the things that they do to get the money. They don't look at that because they say, "When I'm rich I'll be different." And some are. They are vilified as Limousine Liberals.. They want to GET away from the poor, they don't ever want to think of themselves as working class or even middle class. They WANT the lifestyle of the rich and famous because they KNOW that with their hard work they will make it!
And the only people who are stopping them are the people BELOW them. They don't want to look at the people above them who are sending their jobs away. They can't see blaming them because the real people to blame are the people in Mexico or in China who are taking their jobs. How did they get those jobs? Well in the case of Mexioo they get the jobs illegally by sneaking here. They have no idea who hires them, certainly not corporations and rich people who want the cheap labor.
They don't think about how the Chinese got all the manufacturing jobs. Until the cheap labor and lack of environmental controls start killing their pets and poisoning their babies.
The killing of pets was the first time people her really paid the price of the capital chasing cheap labor around the globe and them going to places where they can destroy the environment or exploit workers in the service of the rich.
Hey, Richard, I liked both pictures.
My brother's doggies, and the deer were observed in a park about thirty miles away.
Salon had an interesting report on absinthe & its bad rep & how it is now available in the US -- Br Cuthbert tried it when he was in Yurp but he hates licorice, don't don't pay him any mind! (he also hates marzipan, but I get his so that is OK -- the best thing about St. Francis of Assisi is his purported last words -- "Bring marzipan!")
"I think student loans are about to become the next economic meltdown. I noticed, after the bankruptcy bill passed, there were a slew of commercials about how to get out of debt using home equity."
How would this negatively impact student loans?

but of course. I steal rosemary from the landscape plants next door all the time. It's great in the smoker or under a standing rib roast.
Here's a recipit for you.
2-3 dozen dried, pitted prunes soaked in marsala or port.
a bunch of bootleg rosemary fronds stripped of needles.
Be sure they are at least as big as bamboo skewers.
Take your soaked prunes, run a few up your rosemary skewers and wrap each prune in bacon. Secure bacon with toothpicks. Place kebabed prunes over a charcoal fire and cook until the bacon is crisp.
Serve while warm.
Sure you can. I have bought it here in Texas right in the middle of the bible belt.

I spent part of a college summer in northern italy on an archaeological dig. The local town mayor was a former WWII POW who spent his time in Ohio. He came back a rich man. He served us grappa, which a colleague said should have an octane rating. It was like drinking jet fuel. I remember sleeping with another student, then standing on a balcony screaming "Cinque".
Hey R.M., I never thought of it that way. Students, start your engines!

You forgot to add the crucial last steps:
Discard the skewer and the prune and gnosh the bacon.

Weren't Dylan Thomas' last words, "eighteen scotch whiskeys, I think that's a record"?
And how are you this cold night Prior?
Oh, good grappa is just wonderful... sweet fruit and fire.
I guess that's the exception, given the comments I invariably hear about it, but when I've visited wineries in Italy I always try their own grappa and it's unfailingly brilliant.
Given the way they feed you over there, a shot after dinner as a digestif is indispensable. I'd hate to get drunk on the stuff, though.

i must have had some tamed grappa, as mine was not nearly so bad.
the 'jet fuel' experience for me was a case of mescal. All of the Spanish on the case i could read was the 'keep away from fire and flame' warnings. Made for a hell of a party, but a 3 day hangover. Did get to send Dave to Kansas, tho.

Hey R.M., I never thought of it that way. Students, start your engines!

Actually, it's very benign socially, I believe. As usual, the obscenely wealthy will be protected. All the collapsed debt will be cast upon the shoulders of the taxpayer (follow the glorious shitpile and you'll see), who should have been shouldering the costs for post-secondary education anyway, as we did during the fifties, sixties, and seventies.
It's incredibly inefficient to force twenty-somethings with low earning power to indenture themselves to MBNA for the next twenty years of their lives to pay off a debt secured by their education. Society as a whole benefits from having a highly educated population and workforce. Society as a whole should pay for, or at least strongly subsidize, post-secondary education for all those who can qualify for it scholastically. Not just for those who parents are wealthy or for those willing to indenture themselves to some blood-sucking credit card company.
Fresh? You call dis FRESH!?!?!

It's far better for those twenty-somethings to be able to buy cars and furniture and clothes than to have to channel all that money to banks.

Or disgust for the rich who don't use their wealth wisely. We have a society that lives on consumption of goods, so making people NOT want to buy stuff is not good for our consumption society.

That is really insane.
