‘Bush Shoe’ Gives Firm a Footing in the Market
By SEBNEM ARSU
ISTANBUL — When a pair of black leather oxfords hurled at President Bush in Baghdad produced a gasp heard around the world, a Turkish cobbler had a different reaction: They were his shoes.
“We have been producing that specific style, which I personally designed, for 10 years, so I couldn’t have missed it, no way,” said Ramazan Baydan, a shoemaker in Istanbul. “As a shoemaker, you understand.”
Although his assertion has been impossible to verify — cobblers from Lebanon, China and Iraq have also staked claims to what is quickly becoming some of the most famous footwear in the world — orders for Mr. Baydan’s shoes, formerly known as Ducati Model 271 and since renamed “The Bush Shoe,” have poured in from around the world.

On Freberg's Wunnerful! Wunnerful! a lacerating spoof of bandleader Lawrence Welk, Billy May hired some of the best jazz musicians in Hollywood for his recording sessions, and they relished the idea of mocking the musically awful (if financially successful) Welk sound. The result was a note-perfect recreation of Welk's sound as Freberg and a group of vocalists created parodies of Welk's musical family. Freberg has recounted that Welk was less than amused by the results, which he could not have achieved without May.

Let's not be too hard on Mr. Welk. For years I thought "Afternoon Delight" was about eating lunch and taking a nap.
Those who were supposed to be watching things, making the whole edifice run, keeping it up and operating, just somehow weren't there.
I only read Nooners when somene links to her to mock her, but it seems like a good half of what I see is some childish plea for grown ups to take care of things. Daddy-Warrior-Dreamlover W to keep her safe from Brown People; Grampa Alan and Uncle Paulson to take care of her money, ultimate Daddy Ronald Reagan to build his magic force field to keep her safe from Communists sent by Ming the Merciless, the Magical Sky Daddy sending dophin-angels to drive off sharks.

In one of the first episodes of The Brady Bunch, IIRC, Florence Henderson loses her voice and can't sing with her church choir.
The thing about the Andy Williams Christmas shows is that they were perfectly color coordinated. It was wild...and the clothes were very...metrosexual.

If you folks aren't careful, I will regale you with stories about the Ted Mack Amateur Hour, a tv program I am convinced was the inspiration for the Gong Show.
The popularity of the vibraphone as a jazz instrument can primarily be credited to one man, Lionel Hampton. The story, perhaps apocryphal, is that "Hamp", a drummer at the time, was playing at the NBC radio studios, where he discovered a vibraphone that was kept on hand to play the musical motif identifying the NBC network (g-e-c). After the gig, he spent a considerable amount of time exploring the instrument, and fell in love with it.

My former company put the seats in that dome, which, I think, was formally known as the Hoosier Dome.

Blah, blah, blah, we affirm the three principles our grandfathers espoused:

We hold these truths dear. The wisdom and knowledge given by these words folds and unfolds.
what caused the price of gas to plummet 50% recently?
Three factors, I think. One, the dollar's value improved a bit from last spring. Two, there was some speculation in oil that was finally inhibited in late summer. Third, contrary to the protestations emanating from the White House, the economy's been in a recession for a year, and the economic slowdown--combined with high at-the-pump prices--has eventually resulted in less consumption.
Later (October 16, 1930), Lionel Hampton was recording with Louis Armstrong & His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra, and the studio they were working in happened to have a vibraphone. Hampton showed Armstrong what he could do, and they decided to add vibes to one of the tunes ("Memories of You"), creating the first known jazz recording using the vibraphone.

Hyacinth Bucket going on the QE2 trip.
Wonderful story, Ina. This is the first year, probably in my life, that we don't have a tree. Maybe it's not too late, but with tomorrow's forecast and everything else to do, I don't think it's in the cards this year. And I even bought a really nice ornament in Lake Placid this summer.
OMG...this song just came on. I don't remember it, but it sounds like a promotion for Detroit.
Well, g'night... off to watch a documentary on Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel.
Gee, this is sweaty work, I need a Tab and a beer would help.
I'm off as well - the famiy and I are holidaying in northern Minnesota, and I want to actually see my face freeze off!

Did you forget the 80s?
When I was little, my parents would take us to my Dad's parents for Sunday dinner. The adults would all get drinking and cussing and smoking. We kids would watch Jackie Gleason on the teebee.
I love Rose and her husband.
You mean Daisy and Onslow?
I love them, too. Little does Hyacinth know, but Onslow won tickets to the same cruise that Hyacinth and Richard are going on.
Hyacinth catches a glimpse of Onslow dining with the captain, and she turns green with envy.

Emanuel did contact the governor's office about the appointment and left Blagojevich with the impression that he was pushing Valerie Jarrett, a close Obama friend, so he wouldn't have to compete with her in the White House for Obama's attention, said a person close to Blagojevich. The person was not authorized to talk about the governor's discussions regarding the vacancy and requested anonymity.
It was not clear whether Blagojevich inferred Emanuel's motive for advocating Jarrett, or whether Emanuel discussed the appointment with Blagojevich directly or with John Harris, the governor's then-chief of staff who also is charged in the case, according to the source.

They were tying it in with the "Milk" movie, but it's not even showing here. Here's a list of "all events within 1000 miles of Sacramento" which only shows ONE. I know for a fact there were at least three within a 20 mile radius of where I live tonight.

A Christmas Story for people having a bad day:
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

I'm not sure how "organized" the Courage Campaign is. I learned this was supposed to be a statewide action from a friend when I got to the rally. I mentioned there didn't seem to be much publicity, and he made a comment that it was basically a very small all-volunteer effort. He also snarked that at least they were doing it, as opposed to other more organized groups who were more concerned about angling for jobs in the new administration.
Like I said, Obama was NOT popular tonight. Jerry Brown, though, is a hero!

I think Courage Campaign was responsible for the "Day Without a Gay" protest that was a big bust. Of course, announcing it less than a week before it was supposed to happen and scheduling it during the holiday season might have contributed to the lack of participation...

Hey - ya got trouble right here in River City!
dave™©
Yeah the lady was here the other day asking for my blessing on some ridiculous statement about Muskegon. (She lives in Grand Haven - seven miles South of here)
The truth is that people who disparage this city from that venue are simply racists.
Muskegon, as I have said many times, is an ethnically diverse city with about thirty per cent African Americans.
Because of this we are constantly put down by the "White" Enclaves South of here.
That is all well and good but you must remember when you act as a racist, someone will see through the bullshit and call it what it is.
(And Muskegon, with its fifteen miles of public beaches, beautiful recreational facilities and nestled in our five lakes is THE nicest spot on this side of state perhaps excluding Nim's place in Traverse City. (But that hundred and fifty miles North does have an adverse effect on the weather. Colder, more snow, even cold in the summer.)

Andy, mostly fine, comes and goes.
And you?
The Wings/Blackhawks will play on New Year's Day I believe.
The man who owned the Blackhawks, Wurtz(sp?) would not allow the team's games to be broadcast locally.
The day after he died they changed their minds and Chicago has put together a nice team with good skaters and goaltending. I am thinking they will make the playoffs for the first time a decade or so.
And the fans the asshole thought would not come, are selling out the United Center every fucking game.
He was a fool

I was, btw, talking about the avatar ad on the right (which several here decided I needed to advertise, explicitly).
Oh, I thought you were talking about the top two on the blog.
I am thinking of whether I can get a good enough picture of myself to try to have you make a gravatar for me.
On the 50% drop is gas prices:
Thanks for the feedback. From The Road Less Traveled there is shown a drop in VMT (miles traveled) in Figure 1b btw 2006 and 2008. i'm not sure what the last month is in the graph but basically it says that b/c of a 10% drop in miles traveled there's a 50% drop in the price of gas (i'm extrapolating to $2).
Does that make sense? 10% drop in vehicle miles traveled correlates with a 50% drop in gas prices?

The Battle of Hastings- an early NHL tryout.
Back when hockey was hockey and helmets were something you wore at the Battle of Hastings.

I still get amazed when I see a clip of Terry Sawchuck - the greatest goalie ever - playing goal without even a fucking mask.
Damn! That is one brave dude especially considering that was the day of (now) illegal sticks with giant curves on them. Bobby Hull used to whip the puck at the net at speeds greater than 120 mph.
Derrick Mason. How we miss him.

Yeah, that team's really gone downhill after he left.
I don't know what to do with myself, I feel like I should be baking cookies or something. Something warm and comforting. They say 8 inches of new snow.
Oh right, I fucking challenged fucking Death to a cage match.
This is me Le Jackel, come on baby boy get your fucking groove on.
Lawrence Welk was dead, to begin with. You must remember this, or nothing will seem wonderous....
Me too.

- Mimosa
And that's really what it comes down to.
He needs help too...penal, or clinically . That's a fucking shame. He doesn't have to like Mlle., but he shouldn't hold your granddaughter hostage because of his penis.
Tlaz, I miss summer, too. My favorite season.

I'm sure the drop off in speculation in oil futures has a lot to do with it.

I believe it was Stan Mikita who developed the curved stick, which led to the amazing velocity at which hockey pucks were whipped at goaltenders.
Andy, he is frightening obsessed with Mlle. To a very unhealthy degree.
He and Mlle have the same internal meds MD, and they told her, be careful.

That's what I said -- the money's run out of the syringe.

Yeah, Lee plays on a team that consists of players who have either played in college or the pros.
I am not sure of the Hanson Brothers but slap shots, checking, and fighting are illegal.
Last year he went with his team to the National Pond Hockey Championships in Chicago and ended up in second place.
(Most teams do not have the luxury of ex- pro players. And Lee is very good. A big (6'3" 225), puck carrying, defense man. A blessing for any team.)
Mozart died way too young. A few more years and he would've been in on Beethoven and Schubert.
Wish I could stay, but the bathroom cleaning needs to be completed.
May BBL - if not tonight, catch y'all tomorrow.
Be well.
Yeah, I'll keep that in mind, JP. IT might have to be just part of the face then (which is better = more anonymous anyway). Just an eye and nose and some wild hair, maybe.

You kids are definitely in my thoughts. I really, really hope it ends peacefully.
The oil price was so horribly jobbed by speculators last summer, as were almost all the other commodities, that it deserves 'credit' for making the 'recession' obvious to the most dense talking head/President... tell ya what-- if any entity could provide 'bridge loans' to the Big 3, it would be the fricken oil companies. Don't hear 'boo' about *that*, though, do we?

At most, as much of the face as I've used. I reckon I'm nearly recognizable from that...?

Night, all
I guess Plum P is still around for any more hockey questions.
Andy, I hope it ends soon, too.

We're here for you, Sally. I certainly am.

The "Hubbert's Peak" school of thought regarding oil says we should expect extreme fluctuations in oil prices as we get a little bit down the world's production curve.
Uncle Blodge, I am quite alive, thanks.
Glad to hear you're not dead
Andy, thank you. Everyone here has been here so much for me, I fear I have no way to appropriately thank them.

[boston accent] what da puck, bobby orr?
notaboomer, shitpile guarantor
I don't believe that shooting the puck was Orr's specialty. He simply skate better and faster than anyone else.
The idea of a defenseman leading the league in scoring is just amazing.
I would have love to see him play. When Paul Coffey used to play for the Wings you could see a little Bobby Orr in him.
(But he was never Orr's equal. In fact few are that I would even consider. A GREAT player)
canucks up 1-0 on original six blackhawks 1st period

Keep that string alive, Unc!
Sally, I worry for Mlle. I don't want to see her in a "Law & Order" episode.
Blodge,
I have an idea for a book about teaching. Maybe we can talk later.
Right now I am falling asleep.

yo!!
You say you want a revolution.
Brother, I'm down with that.
'Bout fucking time fucking de fucking time fuckers.
JP, good, I'm thinking maybe w/o the mouth. My hair is wild and curly, so maybe could make good use of that. I'll have to play with my camera.
"I have an idea for a book about teaching. Maybe we can talk later."

Glad you are still alive, wonderful caring teacher dude.
"Keep that string alive, Unc!|"
hey
life is okayee.
There was supposed to be some big report detailing the status of the world's oil reserves come out first of November... wonder if the bad news (or good maybe-- though which is which I don't know) got lost in the election coverage or what...
I remain not dead - Uncle Blodge
Maybe you died in your sleep and came back to life and noboby, not even you, knows it.
It could happen =)
Dang, drag in one of the sparkling moments of music, and nobody says "boo".
The man who owned the Blackhawks, Wurtz(sp?) would not allow the team's games to be broadcast locally.
The man was stupid, but hey, the Lords of Baseball were equally stupid for years.
They never realized, the dumbshits, that the in the park experience cannot be replicated by broadcast, and that broadcasted games only increase the demand for in the in the park experience. Baseball fought radio broadcasts of local games, in dumbass monopolist fashion, never realizing that they'd INCREASE their take if they gave people a taste.
Dumbshits. The idiots didn't learn from radio, and when television came along, they restricted broadcasts there.
Tlazolteotl: JP, good, I'm thinking maybe w/o the mouth. My hair is wild and curly, so maybe could make good use of that. I'll have to play with my camera.
Just send me the biggest honking file you can (raw right out of the camera is best). I'll crop and reduce.

except when I yell.
I learned something friday about how important my moods are to my students.
i don't know a lot about hockey. used to go to wha games in high school. had a friend whose dad was team preznit and got us free tix. would sit in largely unpopulated upper section with quarts of strohs and smoke weed during first period, then go to primo seats for rest of game. met gordie howe once. back in the goodle days.
Blodge,
Maybe but I was thinking of throwing the idea up for everyone to consider and give some input.
The central idea is this: do we, as a society, believe that public education should be funded to the point that private education is?
There is a deep, philosophical question there that leaps to the heart of what exactly is going on in this country.
I was thinking of trying to develop a twenty question survey and have as many, diverse, people as I could find give it a try.
Then write a chapter on each question.
Night
Peace.
do we, as a society, believe that public education should be funded to the point that private education is?
Wait, didnt private education give us Dubya
I was listening to "Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson earlier. And that song kinda predicted the internet's rise and the MSM's death. I'll have to hunt down the lyrics...

Sad Gransmere? Does that mean you still haven't seen Maddie recently? Sorry, I've been gone for a while.
Good evening, bats.
Shrimplate, this is why law enforcement and her attorney have instructed her to have no contact with him.
He still tries to contact her. She doesn't respond.

It's going to be a little while longer.

Echidne, some dark chocolate with mint cream filling?
guy i know is 5 foot nothing, a hundred and nothing and rides those monster fucking bulls on the major league rodeo circuit. he's pretty cool yet borderline half nuts. i'm not that into country music, but he emailed me this tubular a month or so ago. fits my mood at the present, although that'll probably change in about a nanosecond. haven't heard from him since then so i'm guessing the crazy fucker's probably in a texas hospital somewhere recovering from his last gig...
I swear, reading this site is making me diabetic
Sallyh, I'm sad to learn ex-sil is still being a butthead. If I'm ever in CA, you have to tell me where to find him.
I'll be good, I promise.

I'm utterly amazed that the corporate media, with a corporation-friendly government, didn't somehow manage to turn the internet into a propaganda tool, or at least into useless fluff.
I guess they thought that they could control political discourse by controlling the legacy media. There they were, scarfing cocktail weenies and snickering at the DFH bloggers, like that Gary Larson cartoon of the dinosaurs laughing at the little mammals.
Yay, mammals!
Hello all!
Uncle B, it's good to see you happy.
Most of the time I'm all right, on days like today when I'm spending it with Monsieur. Mlle and her SO will be having dinner with us tomorrow night.
Then we're leaving Monday morning.
I think I'm going to have to take my doggie to the vet. Her arthritis and hip dysplasia are making it nearly impossible for her to walk.
TOW, better if you're a good shot
Oooooookay, why this?

Snowbound, eh?
We may experience that next week.

Chocolate will be wonderful, sallyh.
Hi, Andy. Did you get the sheets?
"Uncle B, it's good to see you happy."
My happy keeps getting better - but I wish happy for you dear woman. We've been friends for too long for me not to care that you are hurting
I ask the universe be kind to you.
Did you get the sheets?
I told Auntie I'd take 'em. We conversed via email to confirm. It's pretty exciting.
I'm sorry that miserable creep isn't cooling his heels in jail.

DEVELOPING: At least 26 people were reportedly injured after a Continental Airlines plane went off a runway, and caught fire, at Denver International Airport Saturday evening, MyFOXColorado reported.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown said Continental Flight 1404 from Denver to Houston went off the end of the runway as it was taking off around 6:30 p.m. local time. She had no other details.
Continental spokeswoman Mary Clark says the 737 was carrying 107 passengers and five crew members.
No fatalities were reported, and those with non-life-threatening injuries were taken to area hospitals, according to MyFOXColorado.
The weather in Denver was cold, but not snowy at the time.
Just back from some night clubbing in Richmond, VT.
Heard Vorcza, an excellent acid jazz/funk organ trio, with about 20 other people. Meet the band, meet the owners, meet their kids, meet the rest of the audience, have a local organic oatmeal stout (Wolaver's).
Turns out the drummer, Gabe Jarrett, is Keith's son.
sallyh -
14" yesterday. Warm enough today to get the roads cleared, but starting to snow again, and temps dropping to single digits tonight.
Fortunately I did get my new furnace installed yesterday despite the snow.
ErinPDX, I ran a couple of errands today, and as long as I stuck to the main roads, it was fine this morning. Haven't left the house since. So far, no calls from work, but that could happen tomorrow.
Tonight, I'm happily camped out at home with my laptop, the tv, a bottle of wine, and snacks from Zingerman's. As long as the power stays on, I'm good.
I mourn, because you are lost to me. Forever. I am troubled by the load you ask me to bear. I will bear it and grieve as well.
You realize those sheets are used to being ironed, right?
Sounds like a challenge.
Sheets....
I never, ever knew when the light went out of the world you would chase it.
Dear love, brother.
Oooooookay, why not this?

You mean Darpanet? I'm not really familiar with the internet's early days; I was probably still pounding my manual Remington typewriter then.
With Reagan's elimination of the Fairness Doctrine, and the concomitant idea that public airwaves could be usurped for narrow private gain, I'm just surprised that this means of communication was allowed, uncontrolled, into the hands of the great unwashed. In the natural order of things, it should have been just another gazillion channels of sharks eating missing white women. Instead, it's a political outlet, where hordes of people can talk about things that matter, without the up-front cash to buy a chain of TV stations.
All I can think of is that the powers that be were blindsided by the novelty of it all, and failed to take it seriously.
