Mortgage Markets Get a Hand
BofA Purchase Is Vote Of Confidence in Revival Of Housing Industry
By JAMES R. HAGERTY
The giants are taking control of the home-mortgage market.
Friday's agreement for Bank of America Corp. to buy Countrywide Financial Corp. for $4 billion shows how size and financial solidity are trumping everything else in mortgage lending. With the heft to withstand rising defaults and falling home prices, these big companies are helping prevent a total shutdown of mortgage lending.
"Bank of America stepping in right now is a very good thing for the market" because it signals confidence in an eventual revival of the housing and mortgage markets from what appears to be the worst slump since the Great Depression, said Susan M. Wachter, a finance and real-estate professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
There is a price to pay: Their greater role means less competition and higher costs for consumers, at least in the short run.
But giant banks like Bank of America have the ability to finance their lending relatively cheaply through deposits and to keep on their books loans that are hard to sell to investors. That insulates them from the market fears that, in the past year, have knocked thousands of small and midsized lenders and brokers out of business because they could no longer find takers for loans they generate or borrow money at reasonable rates.
When was that?

It was in the year 30 BNT.

Pelvis, I really never got into him at all.
The contest to run Europe's biggest city is taking shape
LONDONERS eager to prove that their metropolis really is, in Disraeli's words, “a roost for every bird” usually cite ordinary life at ground level: the diversity of races and languages, the yuppies, artists and immigrants juxtaposed in the same east London postcodes. They can now point to their aspiring rulers, too.
The third election for the mayor of London, an office created in 2000 for a city that had lacked its own administration since 1986, comes in May. The principal candidates are as curious as the population they hope to govern: a left-wing iconoclast who often favours globalisation (the Labour incumbent, Ken Livingstone), a shock-headed Old Etonian eccentric (the Conservative Boris Johnson) and a libertarian gay ex-policeman (the Liberal Democrat Brian Paddick), who made his name with a tolerant line on cannabis when he commanded a south London borough.
Many Londoners are indifferent as to who their mayor is (voting turnout was only 37% in 2004). Yet the office has come to matter. The mayor controls a budget of £10.6 billion ($20.9 billion)—up from £3.8 billion in 2001-02, and divided mostly between transport and policing (see chart). He also has powers over cultural matters and economic development; in 2006 he acquired more clout over housing, planning, the environment, and learning and skills. The biggest directly elected office in the country is also a bully pulpit.
It is true, says Tony Travers of the London School of Economics, that London's mayor is weaker than his counterparts in New York and Tokyo, and that much power, particularly over schools, remains with the city's 32 boroughs. But he is also relatively unconstrained by his municipal council. The London Assembly does little more than vote on the mayor's annual budget—a pygmy next to the mighty New York City Council.

U was forming sumaring curses at me, and I didn't want to disturb you in that effort.
Damn, I'm having a bad night.
Most people of the world want others to know when they have done something good, and want others not to know when they have done something bad.
If you refrain from doing something because people would think ill of it, or if you try to do good so others will look upon you as a true Buddhist, these are still worldly feelings.
If you have compassion and are imbued with the spirit of the Way, it is of no consequence to be criticized, even reviled, by the ignorant. But if you lack the spirit of the Way, you should be wary of being thought of by others as having the Way.
What you think in your own mind to be good, or what people of the world think is good, is not necessarily good.
If people who keep up appearances and are attached to themselves gather together to study, not one of them will emerge with an awakened mind.
You should not be esteemed by others if you have no real inner virtue. People here in Japan esteem others on the basis of outward appearances, without knowing anything about real inner virtue; so students lacking the spirit of the Way are dragged down into bad habits and become subject to temptation.

If you study a lot because you are worried that others will think badly of you for being ignorant and you'll feel stupid, this is a serious mistake.
People of the world cannot necessarily be considered good - let them think whatever they will.
To "leave the world" means that you do not let the feelings of worldly people hang on your mind.
You should not do what is bad just because no one will see it or know of it.
You should think about the fact that you will surely die. This truth is indisputable. Even if you don't think about the inevitability of death, you should determine not to pass your time in vain. Our lives are only here for now.
One should not differentiate good and bad on the basis of taste.
One need not necessarily depend on the words of the ancients, but must only think of what is really true.
If you want to travel the Way of Buddhas and Zen masters, then expect nothing, seek nothing, and grasp nothing.

Lost Chords: White Musicians and their Contribution to Jazz, 1915-1945
In his massive and erudite study, trumpeter and Bix Beiderbecke biographer Sudhalter makes the case that white musicians have been unfairly overlooked in the canonical histories of jazz. Sure to stir up controversy among critics, scholars and fans of "American classical music," Sudhalter's history argues that the rise of multiculturalism, for all its positive effects on society at large, has helped foster a popular misconception of jazz as an art form dominated by African-Americans.

In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."

Thus you destroy your three treasures

The top is bent downward;
the bottom is bent up.
It adjusts excess and deficiency
so that there is perfect balance.
It takes from what is too much

Those who try to control,
who use force to protect their power,
go against the direction of the Tao.
They take from those who don't have enough
and give to those who have far too much.

succeeds without taking credit,

A good artist lets his intuition

Humility means trusting the Tao,

A great nation is like a great man:
When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.
Having realized it, he admits it.
Having admitted it, he corrects it.
He considers those who point out his faults
as his most benevolent teachers.
He thinks of his enemy
as the shadow that he himself casts.
There is no greater illusion than fear,
no greater wrong than preparing to defend yourself,
no greater misfortune than having an enemy.

i know a thing or two about redemption...
Building your self esteem and learning to love yourself isn't all that difficult, but it does take effort on your part. Start by realizing that no amount of downing another person will resolve whatever issues are plaguing you. To try and berate others doesn't hurt anyone but you. It only keeps you in the cycle of low self esteem and prevents you from healing and loving yourself.
Fuck the Hollywood screenwriters. They're all a bunch of snobs. I wrote a really great screenplay once, and every screenwriter I talked to laughed at me because of the title, "Mr. Insano-head".

Where'd everybody go? C'mon, your balls, my chin.
Ha. Someday a certain someone will be able to decipher the enigma that is killfile.
J'espère que oui.
not sure if table scraps is the correct term, but you ain't far off.
the political mind is a hell of a thing...
I like the French language, but sometimes it can really make a person look sound a twat.
Steve - tell me. Why do you feel the need to constantly write insults? Did I insult you personally at some point? If I did, could you please point me to where and when I did that?
If not, why do you do it? Do you think it will hurt me if I read it? Do you want it to hurt me? If so, why?
I could be completely full of shit, as you say, but that still doesn't explain the need to insult. It certainly doesn't understand why you would keep up the insults, knowing full well that you're being ignored pretty much most of the time.
If you haven't quite grasped it yet, killfile allows one to unhide comments as one chooses. At this hour, no one else is really here. So why insult? You have no audience from which you may wish to gain approval. Clearly your insults don't hurt me.
So why do it? If you really do love yourself, why would you do such a thing?
Makes no sense.
Media Matters has finally gone on a rant about Tweety hating on Hillary. True to form, Media Matters goes on at ridiculous length documenting
Tweety's obsession. They also did this yesterday, and the email address they provided for commenting to MSNBC was invalid.
Econ, I'm not simels; but I have an opinion about you. You are the embodiment of the word glib, incessantly spewing trite libertarian gobbledegook as if you'd found some precious knowledge. You won't shut up, even when you have nothing to say. It's tiresome.
except for the Fortune Cookie Philosopher and that very creepy Allen Butler.
Gilly Gonzylon | 01.12.08 - 2:55 am | #
so which one of them am i supposed to be? i don't know who the fuck butler is, so i must be cookie guy...
"You are the embodiment of the word glib, incessantly spewing trite libertarian gobbledegook as if you'd found some precious knowledge."
Once again proving that people see what they want to see, regardless of what is actually there.
Thanks for that, Plantsman. Enjoy the rest of your evening.
Once again proving that you believe no one's experience of you but yours can be valid.
Addendum:
Complaining about saying trite things here is especially funny. Apparently we're on two different blogs.
It's doubly funny considering that very little of what I contribute is trite.
Yes, and especially considering how ABSOLUTELY correct and objective you are about EVERYTHING, dear.
/snark
"Once again proving that you believe no one's experience of you but yours can be valid."
Really? Where did I indicate I hold such a belief, Plantsman? You seem to be confusing me with something in your imagination.
Thanks for that, Plantsman.
FUCK OFF, JACK!!!!
I mean, just how STUPID are you???
Econ, take your little sideshow wherever you want -- I get that you are 100% resistant to hearing any voice but your own.
"I mean, just how STUPID are you???"
Are you speaking to me or to some person named "Jack"? Stupid would be yelling at someone who isn't here.
bored. back later.
Unn..mmmph..GAAACK...gulp..gulp..gulp/
MMmmm, nectar of the Gods.
"Econ, take your little sideshow wherever you want -- I get that you are 100% resistant to hearing any voice but your own."
Plantsman, you're an older person, correct? If so, are you aware that your perception of something and what actually is can be two entirely different things? Have you learned that yet? Because it certainly seems as if you have not. But then again, that's my perception, and may not actually be so.
One would certainly never find out with a hostile mindset, though - that's for certain.
"bored"
Clearly.
"They also did this yesterday, and the email address they provided for commenting to MSNBC was invalid"
I thought my email address had been blocked for sending so many complaints. Glad to hear it's not just me.

Om Mani Padme Hum is the mantra of Chenrezig. In the words of Kalu Rinpoche, "Through mantra, we no longer cling to the reality of the speech and sound encountered in life, but experience it as essentially empty. Then confusion of the speech aspect of our being is transformed into enlightened awareness."
That enlightened awareness includes whatever we might need to understand in order to save any beings, including ourselves, from suffering. For that reason the entire Dharma, the entire truth about the nature of suffering and the many ways of removing it's causes, is said to be contained in these six syllables.
Racymind, why is your mind racy?
I wonder if some people ever consider why they are so unceasingly hostile. When asked, they rarely are able to provide a rational answer.
Something to ponder.
My assumption is that the servers used by MSNBC in Seacaucus are not at the new 30 Rock HQ, and that GE doesn't really want to know what people think about Tweety's nuts-ness.
Racymind, why is your mind racy?
Well at my age it is a why is water wet question... A.D.D., a slight manic thing, I dunno. I have been told both, I lean toward the A.D.D. idea.
It is a serious issue, I just live with it
"Racymind, why is your mind racy?"
Perhaps he or she has never tried to slow it down.
There is irrational hostility and then there is an inability to tell when you make a social environment less hospitable, assuming it must be someone else's problem...
Funny, the other day local weather was all abuzz about 10 days of clarity and dryness -- but we never seem to quite get to the clear or dry.
"There is irrational hostility and then there is an inability to tell when you make a social environment less hospitable, assuming it must be someone else's problem..."
You're right. No try thinking about how you behave when you consider what you just said.
I have you killfiled. Yet you keep insulting me. Who is making it less hospitable again?
You don't defeat noise by yelling louder.
Hey plantsman, you started a wordpress page! Awesome... (it is new isn't it?)
It is, rm; and I haven't collected many thoughts as yet. Not at all sure I have enough of importance to say -- but I go thru periods when I feel compelled to write, and I hope to use it for that.
You won't see me vloging in a cheerleader's outfit slamming libruls -- thank dog.
Well plantsman, I only started blogging in April of 2007. I really am so very glad I did. I have gone through dry spells and productive periods. The issues I care about, or at least the ones I want to write about change.
Keep at it. I am interested.
I need to explore what has become of my "spirituality" and what happened to the faith my mother tried and failed to inculcate. I trust and enjoy my faltering senses.
My last two encounters with "mimi" befuddled me.
During the first, I answered questions about my stroke and she was quite kind and non-hostile, then we had another civil conversation. I suppose I should just be prepared for another spin-out sometime.
I was never good at keeping diaries...the blog never gets lost.
Some people do really good with their spiritual material on a blog. I like Adventus in particular. And Hecate. And others...
Bush and Congress Seen Pushing for Stimulus Plan
The Bush administration and Congressional leaders, increasingly concerned about a possible recession, are moving closer to agreeing that an economic stimulus package is needed soon, Washington officials said Friday.
A Republican familiar with the administration’s thinking said Mr. Bush would present ideas to stimulate the economy, most likely in the form of tax relief, in his State of the Union message on Jan. 28. Mr. Bush will not decide on the details until he returns from the Middle East next week.
Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill are also suggesting that they might be able to put aside longstanding partisan differences and work on a stimulus measure, lawmakers and aides said Friday.
In a fresh sign of the possibility of an agreement on a roughly $100 billion package of tax cuts and spending to spur the economy, Nancy Pelosi of California, the speaker of the House, and Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, wrote to President Bush on Friday saying, “We want to work with you.”
On Monday, Mr. Bush acknowledged that Americans were “anxious about the economy” and said he was studying what actions to take. But this Republican, speaking anonymously to avoid pre-empting the White House, said, “If the decision was going to be ‘no,’ he wouldn’t have put that out there.”
Some Democrats say they could support tax relief focused on lower-income people and, perhaps, even tax cuts for corporations, if the White House and the Republican Congressional leadership accept some spending increases like extended unemployment benefits or aid to states to help them avert spending cuts.
Speaking of getting a blog, I will openly proclaim that Econ 102 should get one!
You won't see me vloging in a cheerleader's outfit slamming libruls -- thank dog.
EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
Sorry just dropped by for a few moments and saw "that".

Please, don't DO anything. Nothing you have attempted has gone as planned. Just hold your place until you leave office and go away. Let the rest of us handle it.

Carl's Jr. founder dies
Carl Karcher, who parlayed a single hot dog pushcart into a chain of more than 1,000 fast-food restaurants bearing his name, died Friday. He was 90.
The affable, burly entrepreneur, known to millions as the jovial television pitchman for the Carl's Jr. chain, died of complications from Parkinson's-related pneumonia at St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, according to Beth Mansfield, a spokeswoman for parent company CKE Restaurants.
A stalwart Orange County Republican, Karcher worked tirelessly for the party and its candidates, still finding time for active and enthusiastic involvement in local causes, including United Way of Orange County, Orangewood Children's Home, the Roman Catholic Knights of Malta, Right to Life League and South Coast Repertory.
The paneled library of his 6,500-square-foot home in Anaheim was adorned with photos of Karcher with the famous, powerful and influential, including Presidents Reagan and Nixon, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, entertainer Bob Hope and Pope John Paul II.
But his support of deeply conservative politicians such as Orange County's John Schmitz, his opposition to abortion and his endorsement of failed legislation that would have permitted schools to fire homosexual teachers earned Karcher the enmity of liberal, gay and women's rights groups.
It's odd, there is no empathy for the plight of being an accidental diabetic, but apparently there is empathy for the horror of a stroke. Dunno...
I don't have a blog?
mimi definitely has the jekyl/hyde thing going.
Yeah, I know. Had an amazingly "sane conversation" with her just a few nights ago.
Schmitz was the moralistic/adulterous father of the woman teacher who molested and later married her
12 year old polynesian student, Villi something-or-other.
diabetes vs. stroke. One is chronic, the other has that sudden tragedy ring to it... people fall for the sudden tragedy vs the long struggle.
I am not joking when I say the media has probably conditioned us this way, somewhat.
people fall for the sudden tragedy vs the long struggle.
That's what my TeeVee tells me to.
Both are entwined with a genetic predilection to hypertension -- and the Southern diet I grew up on, I had nothing to do with,

Clinton, Obama spar over gambling
As Democrat presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama step up their visits to Nevada in advance of the Jan. 19 caucuses, Clinton supporters launched an offensive against Obama's past criticisms of gambling.
Friday afternoon, Obama held a rally at a jammed hall of a local of the Culinary Workers Union, a group that endored Obama this week and union whose workers' livelihoods come from casinos.
Obama energized the crowd, with a riff on a famed Vegas slogan.
"We're going to show America that what happens in Vegas, no, it's not going to stay in Vegas any more," he said to cheers, referring to next Saturday's caucuses. Some analysts view the caucuses as up for grabs.
In the wake of the union endorsement of Obama, the Clinton campaign highlighted the Illinois senator's record on casinos, citing examples from his tenure in the state Senate.
"It seems a little hypocritical," said Jan Jones, a Clinton supporter who is a former Las Vegas mayor and is now a senior vice president for casino giant Harrah's Entertainment. "It certainly makes me question the endorsement. You're endorsing a candidate who speaks ill of their industry. I think that's something the employees would want to know."
But an Obama spokeswoman said the Clinton campaign was "again distorting Barack Obama's record. "
"Obama has said that Nevada is a model for how states should regulate the gaming industry and he applauds the success of the state in harnessing gaming as an engine of economic growth while cracking down on illegal activities," said spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
My limited experience with gambling has taught me that whatever "luck" or "the touch" is, I don't have it; so I avoid it.
plantsman: I, myself, am starting to show symptoms of diabetes.
I'm off to consult with my Dr. soon!
Racymind, please stop making trite comments. Those are not allowed here.
Good Health, aangus; one thing is certain: managing diabetes in this age is far easier and more doable than ever before.
GWPDA shared a tract on the lives of diabetics from the WWI era -- ooh, it was bleak before blood glucose meters!
"My limited experience with gambling has taught me that whatever "luck" or "the touch" is, I don't have it; so I avoid it."
The only people in gambling who have the "touch" are the ones who run the games.
Anyway, 'night all, one more time.
I'm only commenting again because I just got up to use the potty & found the Comp. still "on".

Morning peeps.
The problem with diabetes is that it invades every aspect of your life. You can't just test your sugar in the morning and take a pill. You have to be concerned with what you eat and when you eat it so that it controls your sleeping and waking. And all that concern about food at the same time that you are restricted in what you can eat. Really, it sucks big time.
"Econ's gravatar is the same as another commenter's was.....this puzzles me, but the ____-hedron is recognizable."
Billy B grabbed the image and used it as a gravatar while attempting to namesteal me a while back. Problem is, he forgot to switch out the email address and it populated back through all his prior comments, exposing what he was doing.
He also screwed up the size of the image - it was about half the size.
Tell me. The period as your body adjusts to less sugar and carbs is just weird, too; I felt utterly non-human for several weeks -- but finally things settled down.
"FUCK OFF, JACK!"
For someone who uses the "Aum" symbol, you sure do yell a lot and see people who aren't here.
Might wish to go chant your mantras some more and clear your head.
It's hard not to be somewhat obsessed with something you will have to do several times a day for the rest of your life (eating). And I love the sensual qualities of good food, so I'm a sucker for it.
duty calls
But the troll had a bad period of namestealing and lying in which it claimed I eat sweets and things I don't. It bugged me, since I'm hooked on "Sugar-Free, Fat-Free Jell-O Instant Pudding" made with nonfat dry milk and water as my only real "treat".
Delivery services are so odd. Sometimes, FedEx is a real stickler for a signature; but when my 'puter came last week the guy just handed it to me, no ID or signature required -- and yesterday UPS wouldn't leave a $7.00 cable ( I was asleep )
"But the troll had a bad period of namestealing and lying in which it claimed I eat sweets and things I don't."
Which troll did all this?
m*m*, I think; It was a bad flurry that night, so it was hard to tell, but she had previously mocked about my diet, making assumptions about my food choices she could not have been certain about.
I think I'm going to LOVE GarageBand after I can sit thru the whole tutorial.
The MO that night was namesteal all commenters, one by one; and put nasty words in their mouths damning themselves.

That's a great program. Lots of free music loops at http://www.acidplanet.com
So I was right and wrong about Mukasy. He is cleaning up the DoJ, but seems bound and determined not to hold the administration responsible for any criminal acts. By my way of thinking, you can't have a little bit of justice. Either we are all held to the same standard or we don't have the rule of law. I'm quite disappointed.
I'm gonna start looking around for a USB midi keyboard, too; as finances permit.
Part of me thinks getting bogged down punishing the Bushies when we need to be recovering from the damage they've done is a waste of time, and wants the World Court in Den Haag to do it; and part of me lusts for vengeance.

What a racket! I heard about the Real ID
driver's licenses we'll all have to get in future (if States go along) so i checked on getting a copy of my birth certificate -- which now can cost $60.00+!
that wasn't me plantsman.
I only tell you to get more exercise as will help both hypertension and blood sugar levels.
Plantsman - if you were born before 1964 you're exempted.
I get the exercise I can as fatigue and vertigo permit. Walking is a good choice, experts tell me.
DAMN! My dog just took a Bush on the living room carpet.
Plantsman - if you were born before 1964 you're exempted.
Exempted until 2014, actually. My license expires in 2010, may as well get it over with then.
As I said, it was difficult to tell who was who that night what with all the namestealing going on -- sorry for any misapprehensions. The "fart" troll was around then, too.
that's fine, plantsman. I've done my share of trolling
An expired WaPo page for a homepage? Hmm.
that was the link for McGovern calling for Bush's impeachment. It has sentimental value for me
Another irritating thing about these birth certificate
scams is they'll ship it overnight, but it still takes weeks to ship it.
Clinton's campaign trying to smear Obama in Nevada for previous remarks about gambling is just the kind of crap people dislike about the Clinton machine.
imo, letting Mark Penn go might have been a good idea.
In France, one's driver's license and Identity Card are good for 10 years (they have photos) but a copy of a birth certificate older than 6 months is considered invalid (it should never change). Strange but true-
I must check the regs here before I must renew, then. 2 more years.

I have to go pick up my new Smart Car. I traded in my Jeep Cherokee for something more practical.
A Tata Nano would be more my speed.
I emailed a friend and his cat in Hazel Dell (Vancouver, WA) asking after their survival of the freak tornado. They yet live, thankfully.
I don't know much about Smarts, except every time I see one I think, "Sure wouldn't want to be hit in one of those."
Hey Plantsman,
so you have started a blog!
Just barely, NW. We shall see...
I don't know much about Smarts, except every time I see one I think, "Sure wouldn't want to be hit in one of those."
When I was a member of a volunteer fire department I spent a lot of time prying people out of SUVS. And there some very top-heavy vehicles. The worst seemed to be the Bronco. They ended up upside down a lot. I remember coming on the scene where one passenger was still seat-belted in, upside down, was was screaming for help.
Truth be told, a European vendor of bulbs and perennials sent me a wholesale catalog and I got nostalgic for the days I used to buy and grow and sell plants in quantity -- for a minute.
A Smart Car is more practical, unless you get run down by some assface in a Jeep Cherokee.

Plantsman,
I left a question on your virgin blog.
Some of the most interesting work in plant breeding in the world is done not far from here by a company called Terra Nova Nurseries. To this day, when leafing thru catalogs of retail-sized plants, I can often tell their "babies".
My blog told me by email. I don't know when the last USDA plant zone update was, but I'll check it out. Where are you?
Sun Ra rul3z!
And I just stumbled upon Sun Ra with John Cage live at Coney Island. wheee!
Good write-up of USDA Hardiness Zones at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Har.../
Hardiness_zone
Dutchess County, NY. iirc there was a divide between here and NYC. I would not be surprised if the divides are the same. That seems to me a product of geography and such. So I guess I asked the wrong question. Even if the agricultural zones are the same, have people like retail plant sellers shifted their products to new climates? Has global warming shown its effects in what people plant as ornamental trees, etc.?
Good lord, I'm reading Greenwald and the excerpted responses from the rethug debate. We really do inhabit two different worlds. These guys are all hot to trot and start another war with Iran. With what fucking army. To say nothing of the troops we have in Iraq who will become sitting ducks. If the Dems don't take over it really could be the end of the world.

it in this climate Phormium cultivars, New Zealand Flax (a giant grass in many colors) were unthinkable here 20 years ago -- now they're quite common.

Let me ask you another question then. Why are plants from lower latitudes so much more desirable? Why the rush to push away the local trees and grasses? I know the answer for lots of animals, birds for example. Lower latitude birds are more brightly colored, like parrots. Birds from higher latitudes are often called LBJs (little brown jobs). Is the same true with plants?
I let the dead-tree Oregonian lapse. It pissed me off so much with winger columnists and letters and most of the ads I thought I needed I'm finding online. It's a lot less recycling.
Plantsman, it was the jekyll side again last night. Just sayin'.
"These guys are all hot to trot and start another war with Iran. With what fucking army. To say nothing of the troops we have in Iraq who will become sitting ducks. If the Dems don't take over it really could be the end of the world."
They don't care how many die.

Marcellina, you really love to stir the shit, don't you?
Once upon a time in a land far away,
a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess
happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: ' Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.
One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am - and then, my sweet, we can marry set up housekeeping in your castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. '
That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on lightly sauteed frog legs, seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled and thought to herself:
I don't fuckin think so.
Again, I think it's the "forbidden Fruit" effect. Folks often want to grow "exotic" things and things that don't have established pests in heir micro-climate -- but of course, by growing them, the pests are attracted.
The rush to develop wild colors is occurring in temperate and tropical plants, it's as much a fashion thing as an indigenous thing -- yet yes, a more subdued natural landscape generally has more subdued-looking plants.
My new car isn't ready yet :-(
Marcellina, usually that comment is reserved for me. I'm beginning to think you and I are sisters.

no wonder you two get along so well.

morning, all
Am going over to plantsman's blogs, but just wanted to say, for those who I didn't tell already, that I did go to the doc, and nothing is really wrong,it's just a bobble, my hand will wait a week and see if it gets over this peculiar numbess/weakness.

I gotta go, have a good morning, lovely people.
my mom used to be like you two gals, until she started hanging out with a very nice Mexican lady, who is now her best friend. She has dropped the need to gossip and quarrel and she gets along with practically everyone. I think she used to do these things because she was bored, kind of like you two
why don't you use plantsman as a model? he has many interests and never seems bored.
Ruth,
Do you have carpal tunnel syndrome? When I developed it, I thought I'd had a stroke.
True, Tom; and despite their flashy birds and flowers, tropical landscapes are much the same year around.
I need to think about that a bit. There are good reasons for animals to show bright colors in lower latitudes. Whether in temperate zones fall foliage's colors are functional seems doubtful.
Molly, so I'm finding; after the next low Blood Sugar/food interlude, I'll study my options at Wordpress.

Morning, trifecta. Your turn.
I saw something I found interesting last winter, right after one of the rare snow storms here. The cholla cactus held the snow hours after it had totally melted off all other plants, and the ground. You could look across the landscape and it was pretty much a winter beige, except for those cactus, and they were topped with white.
Here finally I've seen what might be the reason...

Tom, in TX people try to grow those sugar maples for color, and it's always seemed like nostalgia to me, for their youth up north or those great pics of New England in fall.
TTH - my brother has both a BMW & A Ducati. The Ducati is built all to hell and back.
I'm not sure it has many stock parts left on it. I jumped on it last summer for a minute.
It scared me shitless.
Whether in temperate zones fall foliage's colors are functional seems doubtful.

Actually it is functional as it helps transition the tree for plant hibernation.

:::As summer turns to autumn, decreasing light levels cause chlorophyll production to slow. However, the decomposition rate of chlorophyll remains constant, so the green color will fade from the leaves. At the same time, anthocyanin production in leaves increases, in response to surging sugar concentrations. Leaves containing primarily anthocyanins will appear red. Leaves with good amounts of both anthocyanins and carotenoids will appear orange. Leaves with carotenoids but little or no anthocyanins will appear yellow. In the absence of these pigments, other plant chemicals also can affect leaf color. An example includes tannins, which are responsible for the brownish color of some oak leaves.:::

The interesting thing about colors in song birds is that they are functional, i.e., have something to do with sexual selection. Do color changes in tree leaves serve any purpose?
When my son in HS didn't want to take Latin and asked what good it would do him, I told him it would help him beat me at Scrabble. (He didn't take it, and I always could beat him - now we don't play it.)

leibniz, monadΩ
You have to look closely to see those little root tracks running over to the sugar maples.
"Do color changes in tree leaves serve any purpose?"
If I recall correctly, it's the tree withdrawing the groovy stuff from the leaves - chlorophyll or whatever - prior to dumping them. Take away the green, and red/yellow is left.
Something like that anyway...

plantsman | Homepage | 01.12.08 - 7:05 am
Not a purpose as in attracting a mate.
But the chemical shifts which produce the colours are the ones getting the plant ready for winter.
If the plant didn't make those changes, there'd be a whole lot of dead deciduous trees across the higher latitudes.
Pollack! your li'l fella is artistic, how exciting.
The Big-Leaf Maples Acer macrophyllum native here go yellow, then brown, and hold for months. Messy as all get out.

See, lower latitude birds, especially males are brighter (think of parrots). This is an advertisement to females that they are healthy. Being able to maintain brilliant colors in the tropics shows you are healthy and able to breed. On the other hand, if you are a song bird in Canada, the problem is more predators than parasites. So your plumage may be more camouflage than caribbean.

I'm so glad my kids can feed themselves. SP's new word is "please." He chases you around the house, holding out a cup, saying "Pease! Pease! Pease!" then seems totally delighted when you go to the fridge to get him a drink. It worked!

It's working great in FL. We have some kind of nefarious property tax cut amendment being floated; the billboards have Gov. Crist's picture on them, so you know it's a GOP plan to "help."
We don't have an income tax (prohibited by the state constitution), so property taxes and sales taxes are what fund pretty much everything. They've rolled back the property tax increase scheme to some bizarre thing about only being able to raise them a tiny fraction over what they were in 1990 (?). The tax cut won't make much difference to middle class families -- guess who reaps the benefits?
And our schools and every other social program is so underfunded already it's pathetic. If this tax cut passes we'll be 50th in the nation in school budgeting.
So I guess we're pretty close to the bathtub.

Trust me, California knows your pain. Some years back, the voters were foolish enough to pass a proposition that became part of the state constitution and which requires a two-thirds majority in the legislature to raise taxes.
Now the state is even further in debt and facing another huge budget shortfall and Schwartzenegger's plan is to short fund education and social services and to close state parks. Oh, and he plans another round of borrowing.
Property taxes seem to just be another one of the ways the wealthy get out of paying income taxes and a way to put the tax burden on the middle classes.
ok, i'll look for them.

Recall FOX TV News' obsession with Gray Davis and the CA economy. They put one year in a directed campaign to vilify him and get a recall election.

Yes, and rich people seem to find Florida a good place to die due to the estate-tax situation (about which I know nothing), so lots of them bring their loot down here and don't want to give any of it up. Middle-income retirees, too. Their kids are grown, their grandkids are in schools up North; why should they chip in when they're not getting anything out of it?
I hope the nurses they get when they're admitted to the hospital can understand the difference between 10mg and 100mg, and read well enough to distinguish Diuril from Dilaudid.

Maybe we should get registration open so we can get an idea of how many people want to do brunch -- that could be a check box or something.
We could make preliminary inquiries in the meantime ("Could you handle 50 people showing up for brunch on a Sunday?")
I'm not going to be able to get down to Philly until Friday night.

Found it - this is what the hard hitting populist has to say.
The practice of lenders selling families' home loans to Wall Street as investments has fueled the rise in unaffordable mortgages and resulting foreclosures. Edwards believes that lenders and Wall Street, too—not solely hardworking families—must bear some responsibility for their bad loans.
Oh my! Somebody stop the riot.
