Winter Storm Warning
Until 1 AM Sunday In effect for Mason, Lake, Oceana, Newaygo, Muskegon, Ottawa
White Out Conditions
Snow and blowing snow will continue to create hazardous driving with white out conditions at times across West Michigan into Sunday.
Wind chill values will be in the single numbers and teens for the rest of the weekend.
Tonight the heavy snow will diminish to snow showers with additional accumulations possible. Lows will be in the mid-upper teens with wind chills in the single numbers.
So, no, I am not going out to play.
My republican sister sent me a video about a new Ford plant that was built in Brazil which uses technically advanced robotic for assembly. They dub the plant as the most efficient plant in the world.
Ford reps go on to blame the UAW for not allowing the plant to be built in the US.
Of course the video doesn't say how much the Brazilian workers are making in Brazil compared to union workers in America or how many regular *human* jobs were eliminated due to the robots. Republikkkans always blame the workers and the unions for everything...bastards!

NEW YORK (AP)—It started as a typical Friday night at the Latin Quarter: exclusive guest list, $200 bottles of Moet champagne and well-dressed clientele lining up to pay a $30 cover charge to party at the swank Manhattan club.
Then a few very, very important people rolled up in a black Cadillac Escalade: New York Giant stars Plaxico Burress and Antonio Pierce. The two sauntered inside, heading for the VIP section amid the pulsing merengue and hip-hop, Burress with a loaded, illegal gun tucked into the waistband of his track pants...
Around 1:50 a.m., as Burress fumbled with the glass in his hand, the .40-caliber Glock slipped down his leg, and as he grabbed at it, he accidentally pulled the trigger and shot himself in the thigh. Witnesses reported hearing a “pop” as his legs started to quiver and the pistol dropped from his pant leg to the floor.
“Take me to a hospital,” Burress said, according to investigators.
Obama is a centrist. But at this point, even a centrist is a great thing.

GM Brazil Investment Xinhua
he General Motors Corporation (GM) has decided to invest 1 billion U.S. dollars in Brazil to expand business there, local media reported Tuesday.
The investment was part of a U.S. bailout package and would be used to upgrade car production lines before 2012, said Djame Adila, a GM's official in charge of the markets in Brazil and other member-countries of the South American Common Market which also groups Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Thank fucking god McCain lost. I think that his "campaign suspension" back in October gave a pretty good preview of just what an unmitigated disaster a McCain presidency would have been.

That would violate all sorts of international agreements-- NAFTA, to begin with, but lots of other "free trade" agreements. That doesn't mean it's a bad idea; it just means you have to first nullify those agreements.

I think Brazilian workers should be paid a decent wage.
OK, but are they going to use my (imaginary, future) money to pay a relatively good living wage to people in Brazil, while closing plants in this country and paying themselves a kabillion dollars in bonuses?
I'm sure a big part of having plants in Brazil is saving money on labor. Fine when all is well (maybe), but not on my nickel, I don't think.
heh, we needed a truck for our business, I knew we'd get a credit for a "big one", but I just couldn't do it. We bought a lil chevy colorado...and it's just fine. big enough, and not a huge gas guzzler.

I suggest Congress simply order that the entire federal vehicle fleet be replaced with electric or electric hybrids, by (say) 2011. Let car companies, domestic and foreign bid on the various contracts... the demand would save the industry---even if GM or whatever goes out of business, the other companies would buy up plants and employ the workers to meet the new demand.

Ludd·ite
Pronunciation: ˈlə-ˌdīt
Function: noun
Etymology: perhaps from Ned Ludd, 18th century Leicestershire workman who destroyed a knitting frame
Date: 1811
: one of a group of early 19th century English workmen destroying laborsaving machinery as a protest ; broadly : one who is opposed to especially technological change

I support research into all sorts of renewables, including tidal, solar, wind and geothermal. I've argued right here on this blog for the quick implementation of a continental DC power grid. I support super fast electric trains. For starters. Hardly anti-technology.
But again, whatever the dictionary definition, the actual Luddites were against concentration of ownership, mostly. The technology they destroyed was merely part of their beef. They personally would have used the technology, if they could own and control it.

Not really. There's a reason the particular interpretation of "Luddite" stuck, and it has a lot to do with the history, it seems to me. I don't think it's an accident that the popular usage pretty much dovetails with the portrayal of the Luddites by the textile industry and Parliament.

the real luddites were just a group of textile workers afraid for their future and not an idealogical movement
so, if you raise the word to the level of a philosophy, it kind of departs from the original group of protesters

The Luddites were a social movement of British textile artisans in the early nineteenth century who protested—often by destroying mechanized looms—against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution, which they felt threatened their livelihood.
This English historical movement has to be seen in its context of the harsh economic climate due to the Napoleonic Wars, and the degrading working conditions in the new textile factories; but since then, the term Luddite has been used derisively to describe anyone opposed to technological progress and technological change.
Pffft, an accident, a coincidence. Nonviolence never works.
Except when it does.

The Luddite movement, which began in 1811, took its name from the fictive Ned Ludd.
Maybe. What are the evolutionary advantages, again?

For a short time the Luddite movement was so strong that it clashed in battles with the British Army. Measures taken by the government included a mass trial at York in 1812 that resulted in many executions and penal transportation.

"Machine breaking" (industrial sabotage) was subsequently made a capital crime by the Frame Breaking Act(Lord Byron, one of the few prominent defenders of the Luddites, famously spoke out against this legislation), and 17 men were executed after an 1813 trial in York
against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution, which they felt threatened their livelihood
i think it was just the particular machines, which they thought would obviate their jobs. i don't think they were protesting the entire industrial revolution - the concept of 'the industrial revolution' would be a bit anachronistic for the time

Nonviolence works as well as violence -- with fewer casualties (based on historical experience & definition of terms)
It does get tricky if "resist not evil" means you can't defend your loved ones from an armed lunatic -- but then it gets expanded & anyone the govt doesn't like at the moment is "worse than Hitler", etc.
But even Churchill said that, "Jaw, jaw is better than war, war."

A script co-written by Sir Sean Connery for a James Bond film that was never made has sold at auction for $68,400 (GBP46,850).
The screenplay for Warhead was penned by former 007 actor Connery, Len Deighton, and Kevin McClory in 1976, and would have seen the spy battling robot sharks to prevent them planting nuclear bombs in sewers underneath New York.
The original script, which was never made into a film due to legal problems, was put up for sale as part of the Christie's Pop Culture: Entertainment Memorabilia auction in London on Friday and was expected to fetch around $2,900 (GBP2,000).
Other items in the sale included a fur-trimmed stole worn by Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe, which sold for $61,400 (GBP42,050).

They wrote quite a bit about what they were doing, and I think it's fair to call what they espoused a philosophy. It wasn't simply radical action....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Pen...ich,_Derbyshire
However, the movement can also be seen as part of a rising tide of English working-class discontent in the early 19th century (see also, for example, the Pentrich Rising of 1817, which was a general uprising, but led by an unemployed Nottingham stockinger, and probable ex-Luddite, Jeremiah Brandreth). An agricultural variant of Luddism, centering on the breaking of threshing machines, was crucial to the widespread Swing Riots of 1830 in southern and eastern England.
Luddites opposed the "dark satanic mills" making themselves and their families starve to death -- instead they got a bullet, a hangman's noose or a free ticket to Australia (& thus created a country with lots of "attitude" -- law of unintended consequences strikes again).

For example: nuclear power is problematic not just because of the environmental issues, but also because as it actually is produced, it requires centralization of capital in very hands, significant government subsidies that are arguably unfair, a top-down administration of power distribution, etc. Does pointing that out make me anti-technology? Then so be it.
But I'm all for government subsidies to help construct a broadly owned distributed power network of hi-tech renewable generators...
In his work on English history, The Making of the English Working Class, E. P. Thompson presented an alternative view of Luddite history. He argues that Luddites were not opposed to new technology in itself, but rather to the abolition of set prices and therefore also to the introduction of the free market.

The guilty may fear, but no vengeance he aims
At [the] honest man's life or Estate
His wrath is entirely confined to wide frames
And to those that old prices abate
These Engines of mischief were sentenced to die
By unanimous vote of the Trade
And Ludd who can all opposition defy
Was the grand Executioner made
Let the wise and the great lend their aid and advice
Nor e'er their assistance withdraw
Till full fashioned work at the old fashioned price
Is established by Custom and Law
Then the Trade when this arduous contest is o'er
Shall raise in full splendour its head
And colting and cutting and squaring no more
Shall deprive honest workmen of bread.

Patriarchy sucks.
Likewise, during the rapid expansion of capitalism over the past several centuries, the tradition of a pre-capitalist "moral economy" was used to justify popular action against unscrupulous merchants and traders. For example, the poor regularly rioted against grain merchants who raised their prices in years of dearth in an attempt to reassert the concept of the just price. The Marxist historian E. P. Thompson emphasized the continuing force of this tradition in his pioneering article on the "Moral Economy of the English Crowd in the Eighteenth Century"
The screenplay for Warhead was penned by former 007 actor Connery, Len Deighton, and Kevin McClory in 1976, and would have seen the spy battling robot sharks to prevent them planting nuclear bombs in sewers underneath New York.

thanks everybody. unfortunately, the place where i work is the only place in town hiring for my line of work - the others are laying people off. the only hope is if one of the guys at that level fails and gets fired.
however, i need to move beyond my anger as i know there are people out there with real tragedies in their lives and this setback pales in comparison.

Heh. I saw that (and a couple of others) and called my sister, who got huffy and pointed out that they made sure I had padding behind me, and they were doing this because I couldn't sit up and they want me to be able to see them.
A couple of hundred photos later I notice that they've plopped me on top of a snow man, so they can get my picture. My sister's reaction: you didn't fall off, you don't remember it, get over it.

Anger is good, initially. Just let it go through you after a while. Then put together a short presentation of how you'd be perfect for the next promotion (and the last one, too) and let him know.
Patriarchy sucks.
Indeed it does, although I have to say the worst boss I ever had was a woman. She was totally psycho and incompetent, was sleeping with the guy who promoted her, so there you have it.
This is why I am self-employed.

Lovely, Phila
TEBB. That sucks. Well here's what you do. Contact some friends of your father and tell them about the situation, they will buy the company and you can cash in your stock options after they are pumped up then just quit. After that look into some other line of work where you can use your father's connections to build some sort of sports franchise stadium.
This is how people pull themselves up from their bootstraps! Don't forget it.
Oh, and if you didn't choice the right parents at birth, well that's your fault we all have choices to make. Some of us choice to have strong, powerful, rich and amoral people as our parents others don't.
Was this a rewrite of one of the treatments McClory did with Fleming? I thought there were three.
"Warhead" was the first attempt to remake 'Thunderball", the story that McClory owned the screen rights to.
McClory of course succeeded with attempt #2, "Never Say Never Again".
Evidently, he tried to remake it again in the '90's, but that was shot down by legal action.
Thank you thank you thank you to everyone for your lovely birthday wishes
the only hope is if one of the guys at that level fails and gets fired.
Now begins the campaign to undermine the boss.
I just love hearing about bureaucratic wars.

"This happened kinda in Poland, ya know..."
The republicans lauded the Poles forever for this. Had it happened in Murika it would have been a different story altogether. Probably would have brought out the tanks at the time.
Fred Astaire introduced “The Way You Look Tonight” in the RKO musical Swing Time, the sixth of ten films he would star in with Ginger Rogers. For the film, Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern wrote one of the most popular film scores of all time, with “The Way You Look Tonight,” beating out “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and “Pennies from Heaven” to win the 1936 Academy Award for best song.

fuck all the birthdays...
you're still going to die.
Don't be so sure. I hear Obama has a plan.
Anyway, I suspect people celebrate birthdays because they die, not in spite of it. So lighten the fuck up already.

They PAY you to attemd Graduate School??!!!! SIGN ME UP!!!!
I was making $27,000 a year as a graduate student in Canada 20 years ago, thanks to a scholarship from the Canadian government and a rather generous teaching assistantship ($20 + an hour to TA first year physics labs).

I once went to one (not in costume), and there was a gal there I'd just started...er...dating, but I didn't know it. She'd keep passing in front of me and staring into my eyes, but not saying anything. Didn't figure out who she was for about ten minutes. Kind of creepy and thrilling.

I had an AIG 401(b) or some damn thing. Every quarter, I would see in the statements managers from one fund or another "contracting" with one or another "consulting company" to help manage their portfolio, doubtlessly causing another chip taken out of the fees that I paid quarterly for the privilege of sinking my hard-earned money into that pit. It was kind of a churning, handing off favors to their university buddies. I often wondered why the portfolio managers themselves couldn't manage their portfolios.

He sees the solution in government spending (fiscal policy), because neither firms nor consumers want to spend anything right now, but unless we get some spending that will just cause the recession to get worse. But fiscal policy takes time to arrange (real projects must be planned and so on), and I think he's trying to tell people in power to hurry up. Monetary policy is very fast but it's not working in this situation.

You know what astonishes me about that page? It's in Canada red. Somehow the Conservatives missed it... when they took power they changed all the government web sites from Canada red to tory blue. Red, you see, is not just the colour of the Canadian flag, but also the colour of the Liberal party. Can't have that!

Yes, but the transition team could work on this and contact state governments so that they, too, could set up a list of projects.

well, we'll see. But on the other point, I actually think the r/depression will be worse here than down there, because so much of the economy has been tied to resource depletion, especially oil. Alberta is going to collapse, I think.

Food safety
Safety fears prompt recall of Irish pork
Amanda Diamond
The Observer, Sunday December 7 2008
Article history
Irish pork products on sale since September 2008 were recalled last night following fears that pigs had been given feed contaminated by harmful toxins.
The Food Standards Agency of Ireland revealed pork products on several farms across the country were found to have up to 200 times more dioxins than the accepted safe limit.
The recall affects products sold across Ireland and the UK since 1 September. Consumers and retailers are now being encouraged to destroy all Irish pork and bacon products bought since that date.
The FSAI admitted suspicions over contamination were first raised last Monday, as a result of routine testing of pigs, when restrictions were placed on some pig farms. But the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was only confirmed yesterday by tests from a UK laboratory.
The contamination has been traced back to an ingredient in an animal feed from one supplier, which was used at 47 different farms.
They include 37 beef farms, but it has not yet been necessary to withdraw the beef products.
"Alberta is going to collapse, I think.
Moe Szyslak,"
That Tar Sands extraction is pretty brutal. Alberta oil tycoons have been pretty fat, saucy, and anti-federal of late. Maybe they need to be taken down a notch or too. Least that's my reading from just south of the Province's border.
Margaret Atwood's Booker prize-winning The Blind Assassin is likewise set in the Great Depression, centering on a privileged socialite's love affair with a Marxist revolutionary.
So did SCOTUS issue an opinion on the Obama birth certificate issue?
All the tar sands projects have been put on hold. Wages are plummeting in Alberta, and the water's disappearing with the glaciers.

I actually own that book, it's in my bookcase and I haven't read it yet.

Disappearing water and plummeting wages are not wonderful. I can remember growing up on the border and listening to the CBC proclaim what a wonderful and prolific source of petroleum the tar sands would be. That was a long, long time ago. Then recently, I read something about the terrible ecological damage wrought by the same projects that were extolled back then.

Hello from sunny Nelson, NZ - I hope you are all well. I just sent an email to BillO - the Vince Vaughn/Reese Witherspoon film "Four Christmases" is called "Four Holidays" here. I hope his head explodes.
Well, all in all I feel like shit this day. Still cannot eat. I have an allergic reaction to a medication that is causing both legs and feet to swell uncomfortably. The doctor recommended some over the counter antihistimine but it dint work. Went back for Benedryl and am feeling icky from its effects.

I hope everyone else is fine.

Shoulda seen the debate I had with Gonzo Gomez..

Echidne,
One of my fantasy jobs - if there were such a thing - would be the chance to produce Dolly Parton on an album.
She really has a lovely voice and when she is not overproduced, she makes some incredible music (at least to my ears)
Coat of Many Colors and I Will Always Love You come to mind.
IMHO she has been overproduced and packaged to the point where her music is simply not real (at least to me) any more.
I didn't know that. It would seem odd to want to do that. I guess it was a business move.
She's an interesting character .. widely believed to be a lesbian, with an "open" marriage to husband Carl Dean (not to be confused with the mayor of Nashville, named Karl Dean ...)
JP, what was the job offer? Great news.

In my life I have seen four "Big Name" performers face the audience with themselves and a guitar. All three have been among the best shows I have ever seen.
The four: Harry Chapin, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Rush, and John Gorka.
It is an ability and talent that I truly envy. To make such amazing music with just you and your guitar would make me feel like a king.
I would like to see Dolly Parton do the same thing. I think she could as she seems to have bundles of talent. (Though the "Country" act wears a mite thin . . . .

John Gorka is also a very nice person.

And actually, I still wouldn't care who she does. I'd like to go to a river rafting party with her, though. We could keep the entire guest list afloat.

Well, being "among the best" rarely means one is a "big name performer" these days! Some of my favorite artists are people you've probably never heard of ... Martin Sexton, Marcus Hummon (writer) ...
Whitney does not sound like she's hog calling. She has a beautiful voice, and she did that song justice in her particular genre of music, which was/is(?) (don't know if she's performing any more) pop.
I prefer Linda Ronstadt's version of "I Will Always Love You" to Dolly's, but I love that Dolly wrote that great song.
