JeffPres--
Trying to stay sane.
But, I fear, am failing miserably.
Thank you for asking, Janet.

Not Constantinople?
Hey! It's nobody's business but...
I will try to post pics from my Flickr account while hanging with the Turks
Shaw, what's got you losing it, babe?
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
20 more months to go before we're rid of the pestilence in the WH. It is tarsome!
I love to hear of global travel, since I can't cross White Bridge Road. Tell me what's out there, Atriots!

Okay, I'm going to give you all a lovely 69, as I depart to clean my bedroom and prepare for dinner with a friend.

Best of all, I get to meet Attaturk and see all of the streets, buildings, monuments and elementary schools named for him. But no cult of personality, you know.
cool, me and my mum have always wanted to go to Istanbul, she as a friend out there, a lawyer.
oh well plenty of time!
Hey, bats, just dropped by to say I'm really nervous about the Preakness, but my boy Paul said Street Sense was so full of himself this morning they actually took him to the track to stretch his legs. Almost unheard of on the day of a race. But he's been on the left side of the stall — his "happy place" Paul says — all day. So here's hoping the quest for the Triple continues.
And Broder is a tool.
Sallyh,
Have a wonderful trip. Hope to see lots of pics when you return. Or as you send them thru your pc.
Buon viaggio!
don't forget the Byzantine history too!
Shaw, I never thought I'd drink as much as I do these days. I never did before Bush, and I'm thinking that after this, I may not drink this much ever again.

Take lots of pics to share with us stay-at-homes.
oh and don't mention Armenia or Genocide in the same sentence.

I never thought I'd say "fuck" as much as I have since Dec. 2, 2000.

A friend of mine hit the dollar tri - paid about $200.
He also had two $2 exacta combos that paid about the same. Total Derby haul: appx: $600.
Me and another friend usually spend Derby Day with him, but we had to bail out this year. Apparently, we were the jinxes!
Last thread, there was a string of music comments prefaced with "I'm so old I remember...."
OK--Anyone remember Devo dressing up as their own opening act, Dove, a Xian rock band who dressed in all white uniforms and performed hits of the day in an "Up With People" style, complete with synchronized choreography?

Springs here really do suck. I had 4 inches of snow staring me in the face Thursday morning.
SteveNS
Yea, we missed the snow, but at this point I think I'd rather have snow than this rain. Rain, rain, rain. It rained 27 days in June last year. I'm just not looking forward to more of this. It's depressing.

Don't forget all, Glenn's son is going to interviewed. This is exciting.
Have a lovely trip SallyH. We'll keep the home fires burning.
If the hockey game ever gets decided and NBC switches to the Preakness coverage, they may include a feature about the son — who's an attorney in addition to being the Big Horse's hotwalker. They taped the feature on Friday, but might not use it. I just hope Street Sense can win again, 'cause racing needs the boost having a Triple Crown contender would give it. Nafsger, his trainer, says today's race will be the toughest, so we'll see.

I did see them do an outdoor show at UC Berkeley around '87... they opened with an "Unplugged" version of "Jocko Homo" that was just hilarious.

"Lost in all the publicity over Moore’s trip is the reason he went to Cuba in the first place.
He says he hadn’t intended to go, but then discovered the U.S. government was boasting of the excellent medical care it provides terror suspects detained at Guantanamo. So Moore decided that the 9/11 workers and a few other patients, all of whom had serious trouble paying for care at home, should have the same chance.
“Here the detainees were getting colonoscopies and nutrition counseling,” Moore told The Associated Press in an interview, “and these people at home were suffering. I said, ‘We gotta go and see if we can get these people the same treatment the government gives al-Qaida.’ It seemed the only fair thing to do.”"

It's a holiday weekend up here. St. Vicky's Day.
No help on the movie title? Guess I will just go to the movie store and wander about aimlessly. . . .
Bowling for insurance:
"‘Sicko’ stars thank Moore for Cuba trip.Michael Moore yesterday held the first screening of his new film on the health care industry, Sicko, and there to see it were “grateful Sept. 11 ‘first responders,’ suffering lung problems or other ailments from their days at ground zero. In the film, Moore takes them to Cuba and tries to get them treated at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay - where, he contends, terror suspects were getting better medical care than the heroes of 9/11.”
Donna Smith, in from Denver with her husband, Larry, was in tears when she spoke. The film opens with their painful story: Plagued with health problems, they were forced to sell their home and move into the storage room of their daughter’s house because they couldn’t cope with health costs, even though they were insured.
“Health care is an embarrassment to our nation,” Donna told Moore. “You give dignity to every American in this film.”"

Around here, that;s Advil and new floaties for the almost-warm-enough pool.
Eddie Izzard was on the tv last night here in the UK.
He said that he was born in Yemen, and so that really freaks them out at American immigration at airports. So he went in a dress and with make up on.
The guy at the airport was confused, he was looking at Yemen on the passport and saying Izzard does not sound like a Muslim name, and a Muslim would not dress like you.
I can’t really do it justice but it was quite funny.

Well, this 3 1/2 year old was acting very immature, stripped off his clothes quite often and ran bare-assed all over his front lawn. Even peed in the bougainvillia one day, just for the joy of it. I fell over laughing and almost scandalized my daughters neighbors by joining the little guy. But I do hope to be invited back, so I thought better of it.

"Bush meets the British Media
By: John Amato on Saturday, May 19th, 2007 at 12:30 PM - PDT

No, that's the pale mauve one from Cost Plus - it's just for shading. That little corner tho is where I had killed three trees in a row - see the white flowers? Oleanders. All we could figure was that they were poisoning the soil and the only answer was to pave it over and use an umbrella for shade. The oleanders are on the neighbor's side and I can't control them.

With Religion being listed just beneath how old they were, it turned Age into a countdown to their eternal reward. On the other hand, ya gotta laugh at the data
included under Family: the wife, the kids, the odd step-kid, but no mention of prior spouses, let alone
prior spouses' prior spouses. The only statistic missing was dick size..."

I don't care if it'll take me two hours to cut the grass.
I tried that my first two years here. If you have a tiny yard and can mow every couple of days, it might work. The lawn never looked good and, if, for example, it rained or I had to work on the weekend and the grass got even a bit tall, I'd have to hire someone w/ a "real" mower to do it. I got a cordless electric one last spring that I'm pretty happy w/, although some Atriots had to help me figure it out, at first. Not as noisy as gas but not as quiet as the manual. But the grass looks lots nicer.

Good exercise, too. Just so long as you keep the blades sharp.
I was looking at the various models, and some of them are designed to stay permanently sharp. Guess the blades never actually touch the block.
I bought a Brill Luxus from these people. The biggest pleasure to it? Taking it in to the hardware store to be sharpened. Costs $6 every two years.

I can't find the exact numbers right now, but something like four percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in the province come from small engines-- lawn mowers, leaf blowers and the like.

Few in Washington have envied Paul McNulty over the past three months. But with the deputy attorney general's resignation last week amid the scandal over the firings of at least eight U.S. attorneys, there's one person whose position might be even less desirable: McNulty's yet-to-be-named successor.
"I'd rather trade places with Jose Padilla," jokes Viet Dinh, a former senior Justice official under then-Attorney General John Ashcroft.

My parents' old neighbor used a gas powered leaf blower to clear the grass clippings from her driveway. I hated that woman. And I was only there a few days every year.
Jim | 05.19.07 - 5:38 pm | #
Those things piss me off more than any other idiotic use of technology. Just so inane.
What's more annoying, the sound and smell and waste of the fucking blower, or a little grass on a driveway?
And if the grass bugs you so much, get a fucking broom!
I tried that my first two years here. If you have a tiny yard and can mow every couple of days, it might work. The lawn never looked good and
I take a very low-maintenance approach to lawn care.
Looking good is, fortunately, not a huge concern. I just want all the weeds to be the same length.
The nice thing about the electric mowers is that you pretty much never have to take them in for service. You can sharpen the blade yourself with a metal file, and there's no oil to change, spark plugs, etc.
Old news, but new story
U.S. Embassy in Iraq to be biggest ever
Rice's senior adviser on Iraq, David Satterfield, said the embassy is not disproportionately expensive and will serve U.S. interests for years. The second-most expensive embassy is the smaller $434 million U.S. mission being built in Beijing.
"We assume there will be a significant, enduring U.S. presence in Iraq," Satterfield said.
That's about a vacuum, not a mower, isn't it?
The sketch about mowing the grass - the blades were never sharp enough, so the grass would say, "oh, here it comes, everybody lie down!"
The blades spinning around made the "huh duh duh" sound.

SteveNS
And it does stay pretty darned sharp too cause it cuts like scissors rather than a razor. But twigs and stones and leftover rawhide chewy thingeys do get caught in the blades and can dull them, so every couple of years - $6!

In terms of GHG emissions, normally the switch to electric is *worse* than using gas-powered-- the electric generation emits lots and lots of GHG, at 30 percent efficiency. I'd guess that in some places it's slightly better, but here in Nova Scotia, where we burn coal for electric, you want to avoid electricity at every turn.

Oops, guess not. She just set him up.
Raking leaves isn't that bad. It's bagging them that's a pain in the ass. I rake mine onto a bedsheet and drag them around back to a corner of the yard. I mow over them to mulch them, and let them rot. The soil in my yard is much better than it was when I bought the place, too.

You're so selfish!
ProfWombat, the people who transfer from the CCs are completely amazing. The quality of teaching at most of our area CCs is superb; if you spend your first two years in a CC, you will have far more contact with your instructors, your classes will be smaller, and you won't be stuck in massive lecture courses presided over by a TA. I have people who've transferred and gone on who have overcome amazing things and keep the most punishing schedules imaginable. (And as you were once upon a time a resident, I think you know from punishing)
One of the pleasures of the Andover public high school is a course combining English and history, in which, among other things, 'A Tale of Two Cities' is read while the French Revolution is studied. Good heads teaching it, too...

Hey everybody.
I did something stupid and now I have to pay. Literally.
We lost our health insurance, but I still took the girls to the eye specialist in Boston. It was just a check-up, no real bells and whistles. The good news was that the 6 yo won't need surgery and the 4 yo won't need glasses.
When the bill came, I was afraid to open it.
I finally did: $503.00 for the 4 yo, $609.00 for the 6 yo.
It's only money!
I read somewhere that graduates of community colleges with good grades have far better success than one would think transferring to four year colleges, even elite ones...
It wouldn't surprise me. I've never seen a study, but I'm willing to bet that night school law students (modest blush) who get to elite firms do better than expected as well. If you can juggle a job and CC or a job and law school, you can more or less handle whatever gets thrown at you. I still remember biting my tongue - hard - the time a partner told me during my first year, "This project will give you experience working late." As if.

Ex-lawmaker charged with rape
Klaudt accused of sexual contact with foster kids, pages

PIERRE - Former Republican Rep. Ted Klaudt could spend the rest of his life in prison after turning himself in to authorities Friday on felony charges that include eight counts of rape involving foster children and former legislative pages.
Five girls told authorities they were assaulted by Klaudt, court documents state, although charges filed Friday involve only two of the girls.
Four of the girls said they were accosted in Klaudt's hotel room in Pierre, where he stayed while serving in the South Dakota Legislature. Two of the girls were legislative pages when they were attacked, they told investigators.
He's accused of performing "ovary checks" and "breast exams" under the guise that he was helping young women donate their reproductive eggs, according to court records.
House Speaker Thomas Deadrick, R-Platte, accompanied Klaudt in court Friday, saying he was acting as Klaudt's lawyer only for Friday's court hearings.
"I'm here as a friend who happens to be a lawyer," said Deadrick, who served four years with Klaudt in the House.

Deadrick evidently doesn't choose his friends very well.

On the same day PBS aired Bill Moyers hard-hitting piece on the secret free trade deal, the network also aired an interview with a frustrated Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY), who lashed out at the growing opposition to the deal from rank-and-file Democratic lawmakers and millions of workers, farmers and small businesses. Meanwhile, an industry newsletter breaks the news that at least one senior Democrat involved in the secret deal admits that Democrats have delegated responsibility for drafting the final legislative language of the deal entirely to the Bush White House."

Yeah, but you don't necessarily need to pay him, esp. for what should be a basic human right.

When I was getting ready for radiation my insurance would only pay 80%, our part was$2,000+. I went to see the hospital social worker and she decided that we could pay it off at $500/week. I literally burst out laughing. Yeah, we could pay $500/week, if we skipped groceries, gas & mortgage. Knowing they couldn't attach the house, car, or retirement funds, I said sure. I'll pay whatever you want. I then paid $200/month. Motherfuckers shouldn't have been bothering me about money when I was worried about dying and leaving a 9 & 11 y.o. without a mother.

You should email Edoroso.
whiskey girl:
most docs, especially those you have a relationship with, will take an insurance rate, even if you don't have insurance. If you ask. Talk to the office manager and explain that you lost your insurance and would like to find out if you can get a contracted rate and that you will pay that right away do they don't have to bill it.
were you recommended to him/her by your ped? that would be something worth mentioning to the office manager.
if that doesn't work, ask to speak with the doc. Of course, if you are well off, you have to take that into perspective.

According to the wikipedia article on carbonara, the cream is an American thing:
The original Roman recipe is made from eggs, parmigiano reggiano, pecorino romano, guanciale (unsmoked pig cheeks), black pepper, and either strutto, olive oil or butter. Cream is not an ingredient in the original recipe, and is not generally used with pasta in central Italy.

"Heroes" marathon on sci-fi.
I find the plot about a secret quasi-governmental group secretly plotting to allow NYC to be hit by a bomb in order to facilitate their plans for world domination... oddly familiar somehow.
Sleepy Hollow on TNT -- Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci. Nice to look at.
what bugs me about Li'l Debbie is, I think she really doesn't get the job.
What worries me is the thought that she's doing the job with exactness and precision. It's just that the job is no longer what is used to mean........

I like Heroes but am ready for it to be over.
Same with Sopranos.
the WTC watched Arnold Schwarzenneger movies to figure out creative ways to blow shit up.
Thank Brit Hume when they attack shopping centers.
Shit. I live in California!

I'm guessing it's not what you're talking about, but the show certainly takes a great deal from "Watchmen."
(I also love that Stan Lee has a cameo.)
I'm going to go eat some sushi, Bats. Back later mebbe. Stay sweet.

Some weeks it's really good. Other weeks I cannot stand it. I keep vowing to take it off the rotation only to be sucked back in by a good episode.
he owes me a chick flick for that ass "Ipcress File" he made me watch. res ipsa loquitur
If you liked Junebug and All The Real Girls, you'll like Waitress.

I think it's like most soap operas: if you don't get in on the beginning, you don't get it.
I don't get it.
The smell is to die for.
i used to say that, when you started cooking, the first thing you ought to do is saute some onions and garlic in olive oil - no matter what you were in the kitchen to do. Get that smell in the air that there's serious bidness goin' down heah.

Still one of my favorite films.

Hecate, i have seen that one too, and it sure fits...and that's no light thing.

I finally saw Brittney Hume's 'question' at the debate about terrorists attacking the malls.
Christ these people scare me...not the terrorists but FOXNews maniacs.

It worries me.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
Geez....and now that you've shared, we can all be worried.
Thanks.
In The Looming Tower Wright talks about how all those motherfuckers who were planning the bombings in Tanzania and Kenya and the Cole and the WTC watched Arnold Schwarzenneger movies to figure out creative ways to blow shit up.
And then they watched Disney movies to figure out how to subjugate women!

Then they watched "Animal House" to figure out how to deal with the Bush administration.

After that I had a simelsian-sized inappropriate crush on Zooey Deschanel. She is amazing in it.

Are you talking Michael Caine in The Ipcress File? I like that movie.
Newtie @ Liberty? Heh.

OK, I have a rather eerie Bonus Critter Blogging up.
Actually they're covering women combat in the Revolution, Civil War, WWII, and Vietnam.

Would that help the American people?
If not, what movie would?

Brittney's Qs about the mall remind me of Peggy Nutter Noonan and (M)ann Coulter's fantasizing about another terrorist attack and murdering liberals, respectively.
These people fantasize about terror attacks and murder they way I fantasize about sex and swimming in the Mediterranean.

Read the good and bad news at Lenin re American opinion shift. Bush's brazen stupidity has shoved the voters leftward but this is hardly good for Rahm Emmanuel's Rethug Lite party.
"She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also "challenged Ronald Reagan's strategy for the Cold War."
I could never take Ronnie RayGun seriously.

Thanks, Jeff. I'll just enjoy it on my desktop if that's OK.

The appropriate response to that escapes me at the moment.
We were talking about Jones Beach last night.

Sure... if you want a relatively honkin'-large one, I can e-mail it, though.

Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, whose discharge of a paraplegic man onto skid row earlier this year was widely publicized, says it will adopt new guidelines meant to end the dumping of homeless patients.
The condition in which they left that patient...
In February, a 54-year-old paraplegic homeless man discharged from the hospital was found crawling on a street wearing a soiled hospital gown with a colostomy bag still attached.

Wasn't she the first ever female West Point grad to die in combat?
If not, what movie would?
"All the President's Men"

You fucked up. You trusted us.
"She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also "challenged Ronald Reagan's strategy for the Cold War."
Yeah, the only American President to do anything remotely useful in the Middle East and with human rights as an issue just wasn't credible on foreign policy, as opposed to a moie star who got caught selling arms to terrorists.

Isn't that the stuff that let the Jetsons' dog run in place for several seconds?

"She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also "challenged Ronald Reagan's strategy for the Cold War."
St. Ron's 'strategy' was a 'strategy' in the same way that playing your birthdate as a lottery pick is a strategy. That is, if it works because you get titanically lucky, you can talk about it being a cunning plan.
ronnie had a 50 year contest reach the finish line on his watch, and got the credit for all the years run.
