It's very easy to determine who is serious and who is not.
Serious people advocate winning wars.

Wouldn't have been polite. Just not done, what.
How does one "win" a war?
when you make sure to buy large blocks of stock in defense contractors prior to the run-up, because you've got inside knowledge...
You mean, something like an 'academy' or 'college' or 'university' where people are vetted over a course of years by their peers for their quality of thought and knowledge?
Sept. 11 happened because America had lost its deterrent capability. We lost it because for 20 years we never retaliated against, or brought to justice, those who murdered Americans.
As pointed out above, this is a lie: since Clinton did capture and bring to justice the WTC1 bombers. It is also insane: since it is based on the assumption that suicide bombers will be dissuaded by possibility of retaliation! And finally, it is part of the big lie effort to hide President "you covered your ass" Bush's culpability in the biggest intelligence failure in US history.

From the link:
There is a long list of foreign policy experts who specialize in the Middle East (And did so before 9/11 came around). Jon Alterman, Brian Katulis, Mark Lynch, Ray Takeyh, Steven Simon, Flynt Levrett, Vali Nasr, Steven Cook, Rob Malley to name just a few. Most of these people speak Arabic or Farsi. Most have spent sigificant time in the region or spent a great deal of time studying the history of the region and the intimate details. They know much more than you, me, Matt Yglesias or Gideon Rose do about the Middle East. [...]For example, Tony Cordesman, who quite frankly knows more than you, me, or just about anybody else about the Middle East, only lists four areas of expertise on his bio: Energy, Middle East & North Africa, Defense Policy, and Terrorism.
I never claimed to be an expert on the Middle East, but by the time they passed the AUMF, I knew George W. Bush was spectacularly incompetent and breathtakingly dishonest.
Nothing that's happened since then has led me to doubt my expertise in the science of Bushology.

Nobody said a fucking word. I mean none of the anybodys said fucking boo. Nothing. What the hell is wrong with those people. In the history books we will look no better than the 1930s german population. WTF!

Boy, I sure wish I had the time to go fishing through those Bios.
I like how it is always the fault of someone else. George Bush is not at fault for going on vacation when the CIA warned him about an impending attack. The FBI is not to blame for not watching suspicious Saudi citizens in flight school. The FAA was not to blame for mandating locks on pilot doors - a simple method that the Israelis used for years. The NSA is not to blame for failing to translate intercepts.

WASHINGTON—Michael K. Deaver, a close adviser to Ronald Reagan who directed the president's picturesque and symbolic public appearances, died Saturday. He was 69.
...
Deaver's own image suffered a setback in 1987. He was convicted on three of five counts of perjury stemming from statements to a congressional subcommittee and a federal grand jury investigating his lobbying activities with administration officials. (Deaver apparently refused a presidential pardon.)
...
Deaver, however, was concerned more with Reagan's image than his policies. He also was responsible for the president's schedule and security and served as a liaison for any family matters.
To exert as much control as possible, Deaver steered the president away from reporters when he could, instead arranging Reagan in poses and settings that conveyed visually the message of the moment. Presidential news conferences were a rarity, which suited an actor-turned-politician who was at his best when using a script.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you George W. Bush.
Thanks, Michael Deaver.
Thanks, a lot. 
I wonder how they really plan to move foreward. Our land forces are nearly broken, their equiptment is trashed, we're running low on frickin bullets, etc.,etc. What's the plan?

David Gergen, White House communications director for Reagan, had an office next door to Deaver's. "He was a master of political theater in the best sense of that phrase. Some people denigrate political theater, but in truth it's been essential to presidents," Gergen said in a telephone interview.
"He brought an imagination and an eye and a sense of the country to the presidency," he said. "The choreography of the president is more important than some people think."
Not if the president is sentient.

This is seriously creepy
U.S. military practices genetic discrimination in denying benefits
Those medically discharged with genetic diseases are left without disability or retirement benefits. Some are fighting back.
By Karen Kaplan
August 18, 2007
Eric Miller's career as an Army Ranger wasn't ended by a battlefield wound, but his DNA.
Lurking in his genes was a mutation that made him vulnerable to uncontrolled tumor growth. After suffering back pain during a tour in Afghanistan, he underwent three surgeries to remove tumors from his brain and spine that left him with numbness throughout the left side of his body.
So began his journey into a dreaded scenario of the genetic age.
Because he was born with the mutation, the Army argued it bore no responsibility for his illness and medically discharged him in 2005 without the disability benefits or health insurance he needed to fight his disease.
"The Army didn't give me anything," said Miller, 28, a seven-year veteran who is training to join the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
While genetic discrimination is banned in most cases throughout the country, it is alive and well in the U.S. military.
For more than 20 years, the armed forces have held a policy that specifically denies disability benefits to servicemen and women with congenital or hereditary conditions. The practice would be illegal in almost any other workplace.
There is one exception, instituted in 1999, that grants benefits to personnel who have served eight years.
"You could be in the military and be a six-pack-a-day smoker, and if you come down with emphysema, 'That's OK. We've got you covered,' " said Kathy Hudson, director of the Genetics and Public Policy Center at Johns Hopkins University."But if you happen to have a disease where there is an identified genetic contribution, you are screwed."
Representatives from the Pentagon declined multiple requests to discuss the policy.
I won a chili cook-off contest today.
That's excellent news! My most heartfelt congratulations!
What was first prize?
And GWPDA, yes! The chocolate!

sitten, I stir in a couple of tablespoons of plain cocoa into the tomato and onion mixture. Maybe 1/2 tsp of cinnamon then too. It balances off the volume of chile powder and chopped green and red chiles that I use, and mellows the onions. It is mole', related, but by the time it's all simmered together it has the same effect on the final product as the kidneys do in a steak and kidney pie - you can't taste it but it makes everything so much richer and complex and finished.
And you win prizes with it!

MMe Voltaire & I will be celebrating my 53rd birthday today by going to the Old Warsaw for some nice polish food
so appropriate for the summer heat
.
If you have a 12'' and nine inch cast iron skillet, you can make a nice shell for a taco salad.
Heat a little oil in the 12'' skillet until hot. Place a large flour tortilla shell in oil. Flip after a couple of seconds, remove from skillet after another couple of seconds. Place in smaller skillet, press down and extract extra oil with a paper towel.
Place in 350 degree over for 10-15 minutes.
Makes a delicious shell.
Brilliant, Mer.

Happy 53, Tacitus! Polish food sounds wonderful!
I did make a pot of chicken soup this evening, which I learned to make from my Polish mom, so that's as close as I come today.

My mom makes the blandest chili in the world. Very plain, very simple, very...well..."Vi." It was always good, though.
Some guy kept going back to her table to take "one more sample," because, as he told her, "your chili tastes just like my mom's." I think she said he took 6 taste cups from her.

Meatless chili
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
sauteed in a couple of Tbsp. oil, your choice, I use olive or peanut oil, sprinkle with a little salt.
1 can each of light red kidney, dark red kidney and pinto beans, drained. Add to onion and garlic. Stir.
Sprinkle with 3, 4 or 5 Tbs. of chili powder, add some chopped green chili peppers. Stir.
Dump in a large can of whole tomatoes, including juice. Chop tomatoes up. (I use a wooden spatula and a sharp knife.)
Add a few drops of Dave's Insanity Sauce, or other hot sauce and a few shakes of worchestershire. Cover lightly, start simmering for many hours. If sauce becomes to thick, add chicken broth or water.

Hamleys has removed two child jewellery products found to contain dangerous levels of lead from its shelves.
The toy store said it had launched an inquiry into why the products, imported from China, were not detected in its quality assurance process.
The Sunday Times found a £4.99 bracelet with heart shapes sold in Hamleys' Regent Street shop in London contained more than 93% lead.
A P-shaped pendant, priced £7.99, was found to have 27% lead.

Good one from Jane at FDL:
Yesterday while discussing his new film No End In Sight director Charles Ferguson had this to say about his fellow wonks from the Brookings Institute:
"I have found O’Hanlon and Pollack to be quite intellectually dishonest, and I’m very disappointed in the role they have played. Factually, their recent comments are quite dubious, and were based on a very brief trip completely supervised by the U.S. military."
When you think about the bona fides of people whose august opinons are treated with great reverence by Those Who Matter, a pack of poodles really don’t seem like they could do much worse.
You mean to tell me electricity is dependent on steam? Is that right? I thought civilization moved beyond steam.
If I put my homepage fucknut will see hits from here in my statcounter, which has his stupid blog in it too and I really don't need him following me around the net.
Rather than changing all kinds of crap to avoid him, I'm just doing this.

Just when I start having a littel faith in Dr, Jeff Masters, he puts up a post like this:
Can Jamaica pray away Hurricane Dean? The official forecast and nearly all of the computer models have put Jamaica in the bulls-eye for several days now. But hurricanes have a funny way of taking 11th-hour wobbles that spare the island a direct hit. Witness the remarkable turn Hurricane Ivan took in 2004, as it headed directly for the island with 145 mph winds. Ivan took a sudden turn 35 miles from the island, traced out an exact outline of the island's coast 35 miles offshore, then resumed its previous track. In the Jamaica Observer, Custos of Kingston, Reverend Carmen Stewart, contends that it was not the first time that prayers had influenced the turn of events when disaster faced Jamaica. "It has happened time and time again," Reverend Stewart says. "I know people have been praying and I don't see any other reason why it (the hurricane) would make such a drastic turn.... God hears prayer."

Steam turbines are extremely efficient.

In March 2007, Europe's first commercial concentrating solar power tower plant was opened near the sunny southern Spanish city of Seville. The 11 megawatt plant, known as the PS10 solar power tower, produces electricity with 624 large heliostats. Each of these mirrors has a surface measuring 120 square meters (1,290 square feet) that concentrates the Sun's rays to the top of a 115 meter (377 foot) high tower where a solar receiver and a steam turbine are located. The turbine drives a generator, producing electricity. PS10 is the first of a set of solar electric power generation plants to be constructed in the same area that will total more than 300MW by 2013
Works well in sunny climates and works out a fair bit cheaper per watt than current photovoltaic methods.

You don't need air conditioning. My friends in Mexico built their house special. It's a triangle shaped house surrounded by trees with a loft bedroom and a palapa roof. The walls have windows that run the length and can be opened in very creative ways, plus they have ceiling fans. It's never hot in there, even when it's so hot outside it's unbearable. They also have toilets that burn everything to ash which they put on their garden and a solar/windpowered clothes dryer.
I don't have AC either, but it's nowhere near as comfortable in the heat as their house is.

'Estimates of exploitable worldwide geothermal energy resources vary considerably. According to a 1999 study, it was thought that this might amount to between 65 and 138 GW of electrical generation capacity 'using enhanced technology'.[4]
A 2006 report by MIT that took into account the use of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) concluded that it would be affordable to generate 100 GWe (gigawatts of electricity) or more by 2050 in the United States alone, for a maximum investment of 1 billion US dollars in research and development over 15 years.[3]
The Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Plant in IcelandThe MIT report calculated the world's total EGS resources to be over 13,000 ZJ, of which over 200 ZJ would be extractable, with the potential to increase this to over 2,000 ZJ with technology improvements - sufficient to provide all the world's energy needs for several millennia.[3]"

Does the sun use electricity to create it's magnetic field?
Faraday's law of induction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Far...aw_of_induction
Faraday's law of induction (more generally, the law of electromagnetic induction) states that the induced emf (electromotive force) in a closed loop equals the negative of the time rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop. This simply means that the induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through a coil.
In layman's terms, moving a conductor (such as a metal wire) through a magnetic field produces a voltage. The resulting voltage is directly proportional to the speed of movement: moving the conductor twice as fast produces twice the voltage. (The magnetic field, the direction of movement, and the voltage are all at right angles to each other. Whenever movement creates voltage, Fleming's right hand rule describes the direction of the voltage.)
Thomas Friedman is subbing. Help yourself: he can't seem to find Iraq.
He couldn't find his ass with both hands, a biology chart, instructions from AAA and a road map.
Oddly enough, Einstein won his Nobel Prize for explaining that and not for the theory of relativity.
Not odd at all from where I sit. Lots of practical apps come from his work on that, and of course, was published way before the General Theory.
I first learned about all that when writing a paper for Language Arts class in 7th grade. Einstein's always been a hero of mine.

It now turns out that the head of the fed board in charge of mining safety is a Bush recess appointee. He had such a lousy safety record that even congressional repukes refused to support him. But little baby Bush had to have his rattle so he appointed him anyway.

Sekmet, it is suspect, how many mining "accidents" occurred under Bush's administration.
All that earth iron is rotating. You rotate electric charges, you accelerate them, producing magnetic field...
Who plugged the earth in to get that magnetic field?
A molten metal core generates the Earth's magnetic field. The molten iron circulates through convection and the coriolis force, generating an electric current which in turn induces a magnetic field.
That's the theory anyway.

My feeling on both of them is that they pander way too much and don't tell me what they feel. It is like they have a position and they want to know what my position is and then they try to make their position sound like my position. I don't like that.
I want someone to tell me what THEY think and why. I may not agree with them on everything (Surprise!) but I can respect someone who can disagree with me honestly. I have trouble respecting people who agree with me dishonestly. . . .

The Iraqi economy has not been growing as fast as expected, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
It blames an expected expansion in oil production that failed to materialise.
The IMF praised the work of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) in bringing consumer price inflation down to 46% in June from 65% at the end of 2006.
The CBI has allowed the Iraqi dinar to appreciate by 15% and has raised its key interest rate twice so it currently stands at 20%.
"Despite an unsettled political situation, capacity constraints, and the deterioration in security in 2006, progress has been made in implementing structural reforms, although much remains to be done," the report says.
It calls for a new legislative framework for the oil sector to help encourage foreign investment and bring about the growth in oil production that the IMF had been expecting in 2006.

There's an old saw about a politician saying, "Tell me where my people are going so that I can get in front and lead them." When my mom repeated it to me when I was about 17 it sounded cynical. But you can also see is as, "Find out what the people want and give them a voice." I believe this was true in some cases in the past.
Now they think they should tell US what we should think. This can be good when it moves policy in a positive direction, but if it's a ploy to avoid doing the right thing it's deadly.
That's where I think we are, and I think we can get organized enough to move back to the earlier and, to some extent, more idealized version of communication between candidates and voters.

Asda is owned by Walmart. Tesco is our biggest supermarket.
Threatening and abusive emails from Britain's biggest supermarkets, bullying farmers and food suppliers into cutting prices, have been uncovered by investigators.
The messages were allegedly sent by Tesco and Asda, warning suppliers to reduce the price at which they sell their food to the retailers - or face being axed.
The emails, understood to contain threatening and aggressive language, have been unearthed by the Government's monopolies watchdog, the Competition Commission. They emerged as the watchdog investigated the practices of the "Big Four" chains - Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons - as part of a two-year inquiry into their national dominance.
The commission believes it has found a smoking gun and has now ordered Tesco and Asda to submit all emails, letters and taped phone calls between them and their suppliers from a five-week period this summer when they initiated a £520 million round of price cuts.

If you miss a field goal but the ball is downed in the endzone (or it goes through it) you get a single point. You also get a single under similar circumstances in the case of a punt or a kickoff.
With regards to the size of the Canadian field, both Canadian and American football are derived from football. The Canadian field has rugby field dimensions (actually, it's a bit shorter now than it used to be, the endzones were shortened about 20 years ago). The reason why the American field is so small is because Harvard couldn't accomodate a standard size field. They shrank the field size and the rest of the Ivy league followed suit.
I see that they can run back missed field goals. I like that.
no fewer than three of the suckers brought home.

Cool!
As I've been packing, I realized how much money I spent there on baseball cards as a youth. Glad to know that they're still around to fill a young kid's void.
Like Duncan Black would be be spending his late Saturday night with you fuckin' losers.
He has in the past, but being in Barcelundiscloseda he's prolly passed out after a nice dinner and sangria, and some quick, sloppy sex with the hawt Mrs A.
sallyh: need I stop with humor? Meanwhile, it's quite pleasantly cool tonight, 60s with a bit of a breeze, just right for a glass of Calvados...
You ask a weightlifter or a hollywood actor whether the body retains most of what it eats. The human body wouldn't be very efficient if it was discharging everything consumed. Most shit is just excess bacteria.
Barcelundiscloseda
There's actually only one controlled study I know of on the efficacy of
prayer. It demonstrated that people undergoing open heart surgery were
a bit more likely than not if, unbeknownst to them, prayers were said
on their behalf...
Prof, not to be a spoilsport, but I thought that study had been debunked.
Evening batses.
What I want to know is, how can I become one of these overpaid, "intellectuals"?
I'm willing to do a a lot, mind you.
what do i say to a kid who just admitted being depressed and crying the last hr?
Tell him to shut up, or you'll give him something to cry about.
Prof, pleasantly cool?
We've hit fucking hot--and that's after 8 p.m.
what do i say to a kid
Take this. /big pharma

Ah, man.
Want me to put Zapette on the line? She's a school social worker...

Tastee Freeze?
sallyh: not hard to debunk it; wrong subject, wrong tool. It's like a translation of Proust into Fortran...
Depressed kid: seriously, offer them ice cream.
It's a damn good antidepressant, or at least a way of getting them to talk without weeping.
Of course, if you're ProfWombat, ice cream is simply a delivery system for caramel sauce...
Very strange.
I commented.
Haloscan told me I had successfully commented.
But I don't see it anywhere.
It's like I've killfiled myself.
my proposal:
anyone who has been completely, consistantly wrong for the past six or more years should not be considered an expert.
and vice versa.

Why not show her some of the lame-ass white people muzak youtube videos I always post?
Geez, Erin, I dunno. When you figure it out, can you let me know? I have been spending an inordinate amount of my time being depressed as well.
Best way to deal with it is honesty I guess. Lying about it does nothing good and may do some things that are bad. Being honest about how you feel about the problem and admitting that you too struggle with such things is sometimes reassuring.
Beyond that it is important to help her to keep perspective. Though an individuals problems may be overwhelming, sometimes it is important to look at how much better or worse things could be. But again, this might not help.
Hugs and love I guess.

Three things our little namestealing brownshirt will never experience.
Bonsoir!
ph, dammit. There's a loony, saying he's from Al Quada, in front of the american consulate in Montréal, saying he's got a bomb. Just saw that on local news. And i've got to go downtown tomorrow, dammit!
in other canadian news, image a member of your Congress doing this:
Liberal MP Scott Brison and his partner Maxime St. Pierre.
Nova Scotia MP Scott Brison made history of a sort when he became the first federal politician to marry his same-sex partner. The wedding ceremony took place Saturday near Brison's country home in Cheverie, NS, a town of 200.
sallyh: perhaps I'll make a bit of creme fraiche?

ah - it's simels.
Three things our little namestealing brownshirt will never experience.
Oh, I'm pretty sure the trollie passes out often. Happens a lot during autoerotic asphyxiation. I should know.
What is it with the trolls who refer to Atrios by his given name as if they're scoring some sort of troll points? Yeah, Ringo's real name is Richard Starkey. I've always thought of Atrios as the George in the band, anyhoo.
Pathetic oxy-thieves.
"what do i say to a kid who just admitted being depressed and crying the last hr?"
Nothing. Just listen.

Tastee Freeze?
Depends.
Do I get to take David Brooks and Tom Friedman out back with a baseball bat?
Nothing. Just listen.

Actually, it is a very talented 15 yr old boy, but I think I just made him laugh by reminding him that most of these stupid kids who hassle him have parents who voted for Bush! What does he expect?
Oh, I'm pretty sure the trollie passes out often. Happens a lot during autoerotic asphyxiation.
40 cent boy can't afford any other form of high.

can't.

That must explain where you were on Friday, you weenie.
So you try to show the kid that you accept his/her feelings and aren't scared of them, and hang in there with kid anyway, and love kid. So feelings get expressed, which helps more than it hurts. You're supposed to say things to kid which show nothing more or less than that you understand the feelings; even a simple, 'You look like you're feeling like hell'--and you hang in there. It can be damned hard, near break your heart, and not go by the book. Bet you didn't know that...
Touchdown Roughriders! Go ahead 24-22.

Hallooooooo man on numenor!!
Hey, we're back from Teh Mountains.
Aaah, the sophisticated millionaires from the Ozarks Homer Simpson was referring to...
"it is a very talented 15 yr old boy,"
I offer to him this wisdom from malcolm in the middle - a show I miss.
"Lois: Look at those Parker boys across the street. They may be healthy, but, honest to God, those are the ugliest little boys ever born. They look like boiled beets, don't you think? And those Henderson kids? They electrocuted their dog when they were trying to get free cable. How smart can they be? Just remember, any kid who makes fun of you is a creepy little loser who will end up working in a car wash.
Malcolm: This shouldn't make me feel better, but it does."
What'd we miss?
I have a daughter, and a son.
so there!
NO FLIRTING.
I know someone who wants to flirt with you.

fourlegsrgood,
is it a Fit?
Cute, but yer right...
She's going to be even plushier, and much bigger, than lion kitty Maxx was.
Since the world is becoming pixellated I suppose it is time to say good night to all.
So, good night, all. Keep 'em flyin'
(And I did do better tonight. No long harangues about the state of the world or anything. Maybe, in time, they will beat me into submission or death)
I have a daughter, and a son.
Well done!
243 more of each and you'll catch up to me...

You probably wouldn't live through the encounter though.

i saw that last night and i even asked you on your blog if it was a Fit. You didn't answer, hence i asked again.
Ohmyghodhowshehasgrown!!!
It's rather terrifying.
8 months old and she's 11 lbs.

You are a mom to die for.

Oh, sorry. Yes it's a Fit.
The Fit is GO! apparently.
I'm not sure what that means, but I do like the car. I feel like I'm driving a Tonka Toy. Most excellent!

Can you tempt my man from working 7 days a week? If so, you win the prize.
Which is nothing.
