I should warn you....nephews don't stay cute babies forever.

Yeah, that's what I'm asking. I can trace the big dipper across the sky by the night and by the seasons, but aren't their thousands of stars(further away?) that have less movement relative to an observer?
All of the apparent motion of stars that we see is due to the earth's rotation, so distance doesn't matter.
Gromit
There are two different motions, one for which the distance is not important, and one for which it is.
All the stars with the sort of exception of Polaris (in the northern hemisphere) appear to trace out roughly half a circle in the night, due to the earth's rotation. If you take a time lapse photograph of the night sky, you get these circular streaks of light. For this motion, distance is not relevant; apparent position determines the size of the circle (nearer Polaris, the north star, the smaller the circle; nearer the horizon the larger the circle.)
A second motion derives from the earth's revolution around the sun. The apparent shift in a star's position over six months is called the parallax (in fact, for technical reasons, this is twice the parallax.) Very distant stars do not display parallax; closer stars display more parallax. This phenomenon is easy to show.
Put your index finger near your face, and close first one eye and then the other. The position of the index finger appears to jump quite a bit. Repeat with the finger at arm's length. Less jump, no?
Stars so far away that they appear to have no parallax are called the "fixed stars". They aren't fixed, of course, but they don't seem to have any parallax.

Re: Phoenix "blocks"
Uh, the way people talk about them here, they're the squares on the map of the city. In other words, each "block" is one mile. And at 5 p.m. on August 11, one mile is a long fucking walk at 110 degrees.
Three summers ago I went on a work trip to Minneapolis and came back to Phoenix, where the sign said it was 122 at the lot where I'd stashed my car for three days. And it wouldn't start. I had emergency water in the back seat, but emergency water ain't for shit at over 122 degrees. I had to walk all the way up to the front of this HUGE parking lot and call for a jump. When the guy got there, it started, because there'd been a thunderstorm that dropped the temp 20 degrees to a manageable 102. I never, Never, EVER want to do that again.
Oh yeah. That vaunted light rail doesn't go where I need it to go. I live in Mesa and work in Scottsdale. I either have to drive the Beeline Hwy (faster, about 4 more miles) or take the 202 to the 101. That light rail doesn't go ANYWHERE near where I need to go. Neither does a commuter bus.
When I lived in Salt Lake, I rode the bus to work nearly every day. It was wonderful to leave that hunk of junk car (not my current nice car) parked. But Phoenix...don't try doing it without a car, and it's nice to have A/C. Did I tell you my boyfriend drives an old ('77) Ford F-150 without A/C here? He's crazy.

Krugman today:
A few months ago I found myself at a meeting of economists and finance officials, discussing — what else? — the crisis. There was a lot of soul-searching going on. One senior policy maker asked, “Why didn’t we see this coming?”
There was, of course, only one thing to say in reply, so I said it: “What do you mean ‘we,’ white man?”
I've had no issues. I like it a lot. . Jeffraham Prestonian

. In England as here, the leaker styles himself a "whistleblower," but that characterization hasn't helped him:
"An alleged "whistleblower", thought to be a male Home Office official was arrested 10 days ago."
It gives me a certain satisfaction to see the words "whistleblower" and "arrested" in the same sentence. Still, I don't think that all leakers should be punished with a prison term, just those who illegally leak classified information the publication of which will be helpful to our enemies.
It's interesting to consider whether the British precedent could be a harbinger of things to come in this country. Once we have a Democratic administration in place, leaking will diminish considerably, since a large majority of federal bureaucrats are Democrats. But what if a Republican official should leak information damaging to the Obama administration? Will he be a courageous whistleblower, and will newspapers (or more likely, conservative web sites) that publish the information be awarded Pulitzers? Or will the laws relating to confidentiality suddenly be enforced, with the support of the liberal press, once the shoe is on the other foot?

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A lawmaker says the state's Homeland Security office should be crediting God with keeping the state safe.
State Rep. Tom Riner, a Southern Baptist minister who was instrumental in establishing that requirement in 2006, disapproves of the fact that Homeland Security doesn't currently mention God in its mission statement or on its Web site.
The law passed under former Gov. Ernie Fletcher, who prominently credited God in annual reports to state leaders. But Gov. Steve Beshear's administration didn't credit God in its 2008 Homeland Security report issued last month.
"We certainly expect it to be there, of course," Riner, D-Louisville, told the Lexington Herald-Leader.
The law that organized the Homeland Security office first lists Homeland Security's duty to recognize that government itself can't secure the state without God, even before mentioning other duties, which include distributing millions of dollars in federal grants and analyzing possible threats.
We are going straight to hell.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator

Funny story. The Belgian Minister of Defense travels to New York City at taxpayer expense, gets drunk in a bar, acts like a pig, and a member of his entourage tells the bartender that the trip was a farce anyway because their meetings were cancelled but they decided to go to New York anyway, since the government is paying for it.
Bartender blogs about it and gets fired. And the Belgian Defense Minister actually uses the incident to warn of "a dangerous phenomenon in our society" known as citizen journalism.

Longet and Williams met in Las Vegas in 1960 when she was 18 years old and he was 32 years old. Claudine was experiencing problems with her car and had pulled over to the side of the road. Driving by in his car, Williams stopped to offer assistance.

I have been entertaining this theory of late. We keep talking about "GOD", a divine, omnipotent, omniscent and eternal being.
There is no logical reason why any creator of this universe has to have any such attributes.
It is logically possible that this universe is nothing more than a high school science project.
If that is the case, the creator is probably sitting back and going, like, "WTF?"

It is logically possible that this universe is nothing more than a high school science project.
It's possible that people are limited beings who can't possibly comprehend more than a small part of the universe (I'd say probable) and that what results from our reasoning and logic, which seems neigh on compulsory and determinative is, actually, only of nearly nugatory significance.
Reading up on the theories that black holes might actually not exist (Lawrence Krauss is hardly a marginal flake) and considering the idea that physics was nearly complete is pretty mind blowing.
As I said, I don't pretend to have an answer.

Southern Beale's thanksgiving firearms tableau is not to be taken seriously. It appears to be an original or replica of an 1858 dragoon-type pistol in which you had to pack the powder and ball into the cylinder using the lever that you see under the barrel. Not your average Saturday-night special, unless you were riding with a Civil War cavalry regiment. Now what we see in the mid- and back-ground of the picture are truly awful firearms, thug-weapons that are as much a danger to their users as they are to their victims. WF did she get this arsenal of white trash weaponry?

SO if Tweety is really running for Senate in 2010, can Loud Obbs be far behind?
Going back to reading cooking mags for a bit. I'll be back, if you'll let me in.

That's a German thing. World Market sells them now.

Southern Beale's thanksgiving firearms tableau is not to be taken seriously. It appears to be an original or replica of an 1858 dragoon-type pistol in which you had to pack the powder and ball into the cylinder using the lever that you see under the barrel.
Only one of the guns is like that, but it's the only one I'll let Mr. Beale have in the house. He told me it doesn't work, but the damn thing weighs about 10 lbs so at least we can bonk someone on the head with it.

Flory,
Since Aud was a baby, I hang one every year. It's this (old) felt thing with felt ornaments that you use to decorate a felt tree.
I can't give it up -- not yet, at least. I've had it up through good times, and bad, divorce, births, marriages, deaths, etc.
I'll hang it tomorrow.
What about Anthony Quinn?
God of the hairy?
Oh and it's an 1860 not 1858 and yes, it's an original.

Who hangs their trees from the ceiling? The Austrians, or the Hungarians? I dated a guy who was of both ethnicities, and I can't remember the origination...
It was cool as hell. He used to spin it for me.

a few years ago, my mom made us the most amazing gift: 25 days of velvet bags, one for each day for each of us three (color coded -- a few days she sewed all three colors together into one bag, that day's gift was to be shared.containing). each day we would untie a bag to find a small gift...
of course, she said she started it by making the bags and doing it the first year, but i was supposed to fill them from then on. haven't done it yet, but gosh it was wonderful.
Who hangs their trees from the ceiling?
Not sure, but my father said that his family used to do that.
I haven't had an Advent Calendar since Mlle was about 8.
oops, bad editing job. sorry.

Neither the one grocery store nor the one dime store where we shopped in the town I grew up in carried them. You've got to understand, my family, when I moved across a state line it was like I had gone to the moon. I am an hour and a half away from them and you'd think I was in Malaysia.

You can make the gifts, even.

meh. they eated three earlier in the week, then took off for Banksgiving.

I'm actually debating about the Christmas decorations. This is the weekend I bring them out. But with Monsieur traveling again next weekend and us going away during the holiday week, and no Maddy around, I don't feel terribly energized to do the usual.

Don't jinx it! I've had enough unprovoked troll hate today. I ignore it and it still insults. (As if, though. It's more of an annoyance than an offense.)
we always had advent calendars.
not since the kids have grown though.
Jeffraham, that picture shows off what a beautiful cat he is.

Put them up, just because. Just because.
I've been where you're at, and I'm there now, even, but put 'em up.
I'm pissing about putting the big peace sign in my window, but every year I do it, it's gratifying...

Keep the 1858 dragoon loaded in case a bear breaks down the front door. (I hope you understand that I was teasing about the "white trash" comment.)
Killfile: it's a beautiful thing.

The first couple of years all Dad did was grumble that his daughter was a FIB.
Course, by then I was already a liberal, so it's not like he's not used to disappointment.

Actually, what happened was I went into the kitchen to get a start on the dishes along with the other women-folk and five minutes later I go back in the dining room and the table is covered with firearms. I was like, I can't leave you people alone for 5 minutes!
My BIL was holding a repeating rifle which I couldn't get in the picture.
I asked them to put on some bib overalls they weren't cliche enough yet.

I have something funny to say, but I can't say it. Guilt.
By the Way, I'm assembling the list of people who want to be part of the Secret Solstice gift exchange.
Just indicate in the thread that you want to participate.
Oh and why Secret Solstice?
Because it's part of the liberal war on Christmas!
Flory, that was the original plan. I had a steak for dinner. Monsieur whined, I was in Ohio and all they make that's decent there are pancakes and slabs of grilled beef.
I relented.
i am not a troll. or at least i think i'm not...

It's not a dragoon! It's the 1860 Colt. The Army Colt. It's from the Civil wa-wah.
No offense taken on the white trash comment. When you cover the dining room table with guns and you live in Kentucky you're just asking for it.

All right, bats, I am mildly buzzed and have to get up early tomorrow to visit Grandma. Gonna turn in. Love all you lovely bats-like people.

Dammit. Shoulda waited until tomorrow!
I have to say the streets were dead. Maybe everyone was at the mall.

Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore
they do get oranges in their stockings! the 8yo's christmas, when she was only 4mos old and wasn't supposed to have citrus yet, i got her one of those shake shake percussion thingys that looked like an orange.
i wish i could do the 'advent' bags. it was really amazing. all different size bags, one would be small and have a single piece of candy, one large with new mittens...etc.
I haven't had an Advent Calendar since Mlle was about 8.
Trader Joe's sells the ones with chockies inside.
I was just talking to my lovely wife about my annual Xmas Calendar... not sure if I'm going to get to it. Here's last year's.
Maybe I'll just change the "2007" to "2008"...
