Just got a call from an attorney I'd interviewed with about a month ago.
I thought she'd forgotten me.
She just got back from Indiana. Her son started at Notre Dame and they were getting him settled in.
She's going to have a couple of people back for a second interview and wanted to know if I was still interested/
I said I was indeed.
...besides, it was in Baghdad.
Anbar's what the surge is all about. Remember?
I live on the Southwest coast of Florida and that outfit wouldn't even raise an eyebrow around here. There would be a crowd of men pretending not to look, but nobody would complain.

Did someone say "BACON"?
(from the Philadelphia City Paper):
Mo's Bacon Bar
With the exception of Degrassi: The Next Generation on DVD, there are few products capable of making me fall to my knees and shed tears of unbridled joy. But that all changed the moment I tried the latest offering from high-end chocolatier Vosges.
The rich, 41 percent cacao milk chocolate that serves as the base of the bar is decadent on its own, but the real kicker becomes apparent only after you take a bite. Vosges owner Katrina Markoff's recipe includes teeny bits of applewood smoked bacon and a generous dash of alder salt — mixed right in.
Though the mere mention of a bacon-laced chocolate bar might result in twisted-face ewws from your less adventurous friends, break it down to them this way: Haven't you ever indulged in a tall stack of syrupy pancakes with a big pile of pig on the side? Sure, toying with these kinds of flavor combinations can often result in disaster, but rest assured that Markoff knows what she's doing. Each taste is surprisingly balanced, as the chocolate unfolds to reveal a graduated saltiness more harmonious than the Vienna Boys Choir. Trust. Ingredient Specialty Foods (4335 Main St., Manayunk, 215-483-4888 carries the Bacon Bar in addition to other Vosges varieties, but you also can order up by calling 1-888-301-YUMM or visiting www.vosgeschocolate.com. —Drew Lazor

"Emboldening the GOP on Iraq
by kos
Sat Sep 08, 2007 at 11:55:57 AM PDT
They sense fear.
Now Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is trying a new approach: He wants to find common ground.
"We're working on consensus," Reid said. "We're willing to go halfway with [Republicans] as long as everyone understands that we're not going to do something that's cosmetic in nature."
Some Republicans, like presidential candidate John McCain, say Reid is talking with Republicans only because Democrats are losing the war of public opinion.
"They've lost the momentum," McCain said. "Otherwise, they wouldn't want to sit down with Republicans and negotiate a different resolution."
Talking "compromise" is seen as weakness by the GOP. It's emboldening them.
The only time they back done is when Democrats show strength. See Privatization, Social Security.
The war of public opinion, if judged by, you know, opinion polls, is firmly in the Democratic camp. Republicans can't fathom why Democrats are showing weakness in the face of holding the upper hand on the issue. They sure as heck wouldn't behave similarly.
So they assume that Dems are losing the battle of public opinion not based on the polls, but based on the behavior of Democrats."

20070...wards_interview
NASHUA, N.H. - Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards carries a running list of people he might put in his Cabinet, and it includes "more than one" Republican.
"I want to be ready for when I get sworn in," the former North Carolina senator said between campaigns stops as he dug into a travel bag for the list.
"I might have it with me," Edwards told The Associated Press. "I wouldn't show it to you, but I could have it with me."
He didn't hand over the list, nor did he commit to putting Republicans in his Cabinet.
"No, because the test for me is not whether they're Democratic or Republican. The test is how competent they are and whether they're the best person for the job, and to make a decision about who's best to choose you have to spend time talking to them," said the 2004 Democratic vice presidential candidate.

Digby culled through recent transcripts of GOOPer stOOPit so you don't have to. This is my current favorite:
Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas, Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado and Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor, all expressed disbelief in evolution. Huckabee later told reporters, according to The New York Times, that “If you want to believe that you and your family came from apes, I’ll accept that”
...but only because it's less immediately dangerous than this stOOPit:
MR. ROMNEY: ... I don't want to buy into the Democratic pitch, that this is all about one person, Osama bin Laden. Because after we get him, there's going to be another and another. This is about Shi'a and Sunni. This is about Hezbollah and Hamas and al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the worldwide jihadist effort to try and cause the collapse of all moderate Islamic governments and replace them with a caliphate.

Well, seems to me the NYT has pretty much summed it up here:
Seven months after the American-led troop “surge” began, Baghdad has experienced modest security gains that have neither reversed the city’s underlying sectarian dynamic nor created a unified and trusted national government.
Improvements have been made. American military figures show that sectarian killings in Baghdad have decreased substantially. In many of Baghdad’s most battle-scarred areas, including Mansour in the west and Ur in the east, markets and parks that were practically abandoned last year have begun to revive.
The surge has also coincided with and benefited from a dramatic turnaround in many Sunni areas where former insurgents and tribes have defected from supporting violent extremism, delivering reliable tips and helping the Americans find and eliminate car bomb factories. An average of 23 car bombs a month struck Baghdad in June, July and August, down from an average of 42 over the same period a year earlier.
But the overall impact of these developments, so far, has been limited. And in some cases the good news is a consequence of bad news: people in neighborhoods have been “takhalasu” — an Iraqi word for purged, meaning killed or driven away. More than 35,000 Iraqis have left their homes in Baghdad since the American troop buildup began, humanitarian groups reported.
The hulking blast walls that the Americans have set up around many neighborhoods have only intensified the city’s sense of balkanization. Merchants must now hire a different driver for individual areas, lest gunmen kill a stranger from another sect to steal a truckload of T-shirts.
Awaiting the inevitable line about that last sentence reflecting life in any major American city....
BTW, here's the full comment from Gandolfini:
James Gandolfini would rather not be drawn into political discussions. But if you ask him politely, he will offer a succinct opinion on America's continued military commitment in Iraq.
"We should s— or get off the pot," the man who plays the Soprano gang's chief policy-shaper told us Tuesday night.
This was at the premiere of "Alive Day Memories," the powerful HBO documentary in which Gandolfini interviews 10 young U.S. soldiers and Marines who left limbs, eyes and bits of their sanity in Iraq.
Much as he sounds like Tony Soprano, Gandolfini disagrees with his character on a number of issues.
Tony once expressed his admiration for our vice president's Halliburton cronyism by endorsing "Dick Cheney for President … of the [bleeping] universe!"
Privately, Gandolfini is said to be no fan of Cheney and the President he serves. And while Tony didn't want his son, A.J., enlisting in the service, Gandolfini has said Congress should "reinstate the draft, send 500,000 troops and finish it.
"I don't want to sound condescending," he said at his movie's screening, "but our country is at war. Let's find out who really wants to end it."
The documentary's getting pretty good notices, too...
Sorry, here's the Gandolfini link...
Let's find out who really wants to end it.
That has got to leave a mark.

Stop the presses! Newspaper does actual reporting!
To study the full effects of the troop increase at ground level, reporters for The New York Times repeatedly visited at least 20 neighborhoods in Baghdad and its surrounding belts , interviewing more than 150 Iraq residents, in addition to sectarian militia members, Americans patrolling the city and Iraqi officials. They found that the additional troops had slowed, but far from stopped, Iraq’s still-burning civil war. Baghdad remains a city where sectarian violence can flare at any moment, and where the central government is becoming less reliable and relevant as Shiite or Sunni vigilantes demand submission to their own brand of law.
“These improvements in the face of the general devastation look small and insignificant because the devastation is so much bigger,” said Haidar Minathar, an Iraqi author, actor and director. He added that the security gains “have no great influence.”

One last bit from that Gandolfini story:
...Asked if he thinks Bush 's "surge" is working, he put a finger to his lips. "I'm not going there," he said. "I don't want to come down one way or the other."
What he wants to do is let the G.I.s tell their stories, which have some parts that are tough to watch.
"All I ask is that people spend 15 minutes in their living room with some men and women who spent nine months in hell," said Gandolfini, whose film crew was barred from Walter Reed shortly before the scandal on poor care erupted at the military hospital.
President Bush's trademark struggles with the finer points of public speaking were on full display Friday, when he thanked his "Austrian" hosts for inviting him to this year's "OPEC" summit.

Along with misidentifying his host country and the name of the summit, Bush struggled to leave the lectern, trying to exit the stage the wrong way.
"Thank you for being such a fine host of the OPEC summit," Bush said to Australian prime minister John Howard. He quickly corrected himself, "APEC summit," and joked Howard "invited me to the OPEC summit next year. (Such an invitation would be impossible because neither the US or Australia are members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.)
Later in the speech, Bush can clearly be heard on tape thanking Howard for visiting "Austrian troops" in Iraq last year, but White House scrubbers fixed that gaffe for him, changing the official government transcript to "Australian," the Associated Press reported.

But at least we have enhanced smileys...
BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. military buildup has brought some relief from bombs and bullets to Baghdad's battered people. But so far, it has failed at its overarching purpose - getting Iraqis to agree to the political compromises that U.S. commanders themselves believe crucial to a lasting peace.
That's the sticking point as Congress this week judges how effective the American military surge has been - and what to do next.
The buildup was designed to tamp down sectarian slaughter in Baghdad so that religious and ethnic-based parties could agree on how to share power in the new Iraq.
Instead of coming together, Iraq's Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds are drifting further apart. Neighborhoods in the capital are fragmented.
Major Sunni and Shiite factions have bolted Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's weak and unpopular national government. Both the Shiite and Sunni communities - armed groups and political parties alike - are riddled with factions.

Have a great rest of the afternoon, bats.
I have a very dim view of about 70% here. Despite what polls say now. It doesn't matter anymore. It mattered in 2000, 02, and especially 04.
The conservative Istiqlal (Independence) party, a partner in Morocco's ruling coalition, has won most seats in parliamentary elections, according to provisional results released by the government.
The polls, the second of King Mohammed VI's nine-year reign, saw 33 parties vie with dozens of independents for seats in the 325-member lower house.
Istiqlal won 52 seats, including those assigned to a national women's list, ahead of the Islamist Justice and Development party (PJD) with 47 seats, Chakib Benmoussa, the interior minister, announced in Rabat on Saturday.
Final official figures will be released on Sunday evening.

I wish they would all march right off a cliff.
Britain is becoming increasingly segregated across all age groups by wealth, health, education and other factors, according to a pioneering atlas based on people rather than geography. The cradle-to-grave "atlas of identity", to be published on Monday, provides a visual representation of the stark social contrasts now dividing different areas of Britain, and even adjoining neighbourhoods.
It shows how the area in which an individual lives can be a strong predictor of their identity not only in terms of class but also health, family structure and likely lifespan. It can even reveal the likelihood that a person is divorced - divorcees are clearly clustered along the south coast, possibly because property there is cheaper and the population is older - and when they are likely to have their first child. Women in the affluent south-east are generally much more likely to be older when they give birth.
The atlas is also groundbreaking in its breakdown of the population by age, according to researchers behind the project, at Sheffield University. They say mapping based on the "seven ages of man" reveals "ever more clearly that where you live can limit or assist your life chances from cradle to grave".

I have no data. There are no studies of my observations for the last 10 years or so. It would be interesting if there were. I work with about 200 people. Very few vote. In the last six years, since the Iraq war, I've never once heard it mentioned. Not just there. I was at a local mart with a cashier whose line I go through all the time back in 04. I asked her if she was going to vote and she became incensed, "It's none of your business if I vote or not." As a "fellow citizen" I think it was a resonable question. I didn't ask her who she was voting for or suggest who she should vote for. I'm sure she had no understanding of the issues and wasn't even registered to vote. Now who do you think she would have voted for?

OK, moving on to happier stories, such as...dancing days are here again, because the three surviving members of Led Zeppelin are finally getting back together! Yep, hard rock fans still dazed and confused by recent news of the long-delayed Van Halen reunion have even more reason to celebrate, now that this even longer-delayed reunion is reportedly in the works. Incredibly, according to NME.com, frontman Robert Plant is in talks this week with fellow Led Zep legends Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones about a Zeppelin tour that'll hopefully kick off in London this November. Presumably late drummer John Bonham's son, Jason Bonham (last seen banging skins for celebreality band Damnocracy on VH1's Supergroup), will fill in behind the drumkit for the Zep trek; since Damnocracy mouthpiece Sebastian Bach is busy trying to launch a hip-hop career on MTV's Celebrity Rap Superstars (more on that HERE), we're guessing Damnocracy are on indefinite hiatus and Jason will therefore thankfully be free...

How Products Are Made :: Volume 3
Screw
...
History
Even though the concept of the screw dates back to around 200 B.C., the actual metal screw that is known today was not developed until the Renaissance. Early screws had to be handmade, so no two screws were ever alike. The time consuming process of hand filing the threads into the screw form made mass production and use virtually impossible. In 1586, the introduction of the first screw-cutting machine by Jacques Besson, court engineer for Charles IX of France, paved the way for more innovations.
Inspired by earlier designers and makers of scientific instruments like microscopes, clockmakers and gunsmiths led the way in screw-cutting machine design. In 1760, Job and William Wyatt, two English brothers, filed a patent for the first automatic screw-cutting device. Their machine could cut 10 screws per minute and was considered one of the precursors to mass production machinery.

" In 1760, Job and William Wyatt, two English brothers, filed a patent for the first automatic screw-cutting device."
i would think that at some point, tho, someone had to cut the screw pattern by hand, which had to have been a very tedious process and required extraordinary crfatsmanship.
