Take life easy.
Prisoners, they don't make them as tough as they use to.
The TDCJ, which runs Texas prisons and houses more than 146,000 inmates, is currently in the middle of litigation over what inmates and advocates have said is deadly heat in its facilities. But Texas is not the only state facing such lawsuits. Louisiana is defending its refusal to install air conditioning on death row, while prisons and jails across the country have been ordered by courts to address their sweltering temperatures and extend protections to inmates, particularly the ill and elderly.If stifling heat in prison is bad for you. Then hot sex is good for you. Right?
How to woo a chic, do's and don'ts from 1936.
80 years ago a book entitled 'How to Make Love' was published, giving men tips on how to woo a woman. Indy1000 has taken a look, for tips, and to see how outdated it seems in 2016.Being "Right" or "Far-Right" has so many advantages. Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Song Covers.

And how many children have been deserted by their baby daddies today, compared to 1936?
nerdygirl, I'm not saying you're wrong. There's been a lot of moral breakdown in America (and elsewhere), everywhere, since 1936. OMG.
Having said that though... I've often wondered how much we *really* know about American society pre-1970 or so. Before then, it seems journalists were not only overall less political, but more focused on the "big stories" and big events; I don't think there was nearly as much societal/sociological navel-gazing, or journalists asking "what's the divorce rate look like? What's happening to kids who get abandoned by their dads?"
On top of which, they had their systems to deal with these things and they were largely accepted and uncontroversial. Society accepted that kids with bad or absent parents ended up in orphanages or group homes, or ended up with other relatives; it was accepted that "just a few" women and men get divorced, and a lot of people never admitted it if they were divorced; and topics such as alcoholism, drug addiction, and of course things like homosexuality (or what they would have called "deviant sexuality" or worse) were taboo to both talk and write about.
I also got a bit of an education about this back when I was working in a public mental institution; before 1970, you could be institutionalized for, among other things, being a drug addict or being gay. It wasn't something families *or* the media of the time talked about; it was too controversial and, again, "taboo" of a subject. Nobody wanted to drop their circulation numbers especially, with regard to the leading newspapers and magazines (how most people got their news pre-TV and radio).
Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. Just because there's a lot of stuff the media didn't report pre-1970, doesn't mean it wasn't out there; and again, that's NOT the same thing as saying the American family was always in as advanced a state of decay as it is now, alas.

In 1936, if you picked up a newspaper, you read about:
- What was going on in Washington
- The status of manufacturing and trade
- Local events, both recent and upcoming
Today when you pick up a paper, you read about:
- The latest in inner-city gang warfare
- Tim, a student at the local high school who just came out as gay
- The children supposedly being jeopardized by local social welfare budget cuts
- Catholic Church sexual abuse allegations
... etc etc.

I just found out that my dad (born in 1934) was a (full term) "preemie" born 6 months after my grandparents were married. Uh-huh, guess we all know what happened there. Granddad married grandma though, and they stayed married for 60 year. Seems better to me.

Tim being gay won't cut it anymore. Now its got to be that Tim identifies as Tina, and how awful all your daughters are for not wanting "her" to use the girl's restroom.

Let's be honest, there *was* major cultural/social pressure to stay married; it was what honorable people did. They stayed and worked it out, they didn't just fly the coop. "Think of the children!"
So they stayed and they worked things out somehow.

Even the guilty are only sent to prison to separate them from society and to take their freedom as punishment. It's not suppose to be a sentence of unspeakable cruelty.
To lock someone who's obviously mentally unwell in a cage, and leave her their after she begs for water, after she defecates herself, and after she passes out, requires a callousness to life that calls for them, too, to be separated from society.

Their aren't sent to prison just to separate them from society, and taking their freedom isn't the whole of their punishment. That's why there used to be sentences of hard labor and why there are death penalties.
Further, prisoners can legally become slaves of the state. Slavery was not abolished. It was only reserved as punishment for crimes.
These prisoners were not put into the cages just for fun. They did stuff to end up there. The articles mentions prisoners refusing to return to their cells. That's life.
As to this particular case, she was just waiting to be transported. Blame the hospital for not picking her up. 4 hours in the sun in 107 temps is not a big deal, anyway.

The Supreme Court ruled in 1915 that free speech did not apply to motion pictures. Yes, you read that right. States started setting up censorship boards. NY was the first state to do so, I think.
Anyway, Hollywood adopted the Motion Picture Production Code to stave off government censorship.
That SC ruling has since been overturned, of course.
Films before the Code, which were full of sex (and these sold well, as it always does, but it fired up a backlash), drew the ire of politicians and religious leaders.
And it wasn't so much the sex. They potrayed politicians as bumbling corrupt idiots, religious leaders as hypocrites and all that. They didn't like that.

I'm dying to find out.
Posted by: L, Elle
-----------------
Oh, nothing special at all, really.
His buddy Oocho the doxie stopped by today. Remember, no leash (I doubt I could find it right now).
After 45 minutes of chasing each other around the front yard, Oocho decided to wander off, but we didn't notice until I heard Tucker whining.
He was sitting at the property line, but wouldn't cross it. Just let us know that "Timmy fell down a well."
"Where is Oocho?"
Took Mike a good 30 minutes to round up the hotdog. I usually give Tucker t minutes and say F it - hell come home when he's tired & hungry.

Posted by: L, Elle at September 04, 2016 11:42 PM (6IPEM)
It's both, they fired the bassist because he was playing in Sammy's band and it pissed them off, so they had Eddie's fat son Wolfgang who never played the bass in his life be part of the band and play bass. He never said a bad thing about them for all those years and he goes off and plays with Sammy and they fire him assholes

If he was an accessory both before and after the fact, doesn't that put him under the felony murder statute? In that co-conspirators to a criminal enterprise share the guilt if a murder takes place.
Perhaps the guy was technically guilty of felony murder, but was mis-charged in the original trial.

At any rate, some nice woman in the church sends out the daily prayers and liturgy readings. I try to read up on them beforehand. if I can I couldn't go to the Vespers service this Saturday, but one of the people they were remembering was Blessed John "The Hairy" Fool for Christ at Rostov (1580) I guess I'm easily amused, but I laughed so hard at the name and his picture as an icon (He is indeed very hairy) that my husband came out to ask me what i was laughing about.
One of the interesting things is that the liturgy is so very formal and yet they have these little down to earth rather touching names for their holy people.

Most probably are, but I recall an incident of someone (or ones) who were in on suspicion, too poor to make bail, and they got that treatment, and it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. Yeah, some of those detainees before trial might be guilty, but it's the principle. Sheriff Joe is saying that just by virtue of being in jail, the inmates deserve lousy treatment.

Yes, some innocent (for certain values of "innocent") people may get caught up in the Maricopa County justice system and have a bad time of it.
Guess what? Truly innocent people every single day suffer death, injury, bereavement, or financial loss at the hands of criminals, many of which eventually wind up in Sheriff Joe's hospitality centers.
I have a house in Pinal County, not even a mile from the Maricopa County line. It got burgled, and I lost hundreds of dollars' worth of tools. If the shitbird who did it (and I have a pretty good idea of his I.D.) were to wind up dead of heat stroke in a Maricopa County jail, I would shed nary a tear about his cruel fate.

My dorm room in college had airplanes flying overhead, the College had a beacon on campus somewhere and they used it to line up for landings. It sounded like they were going to hit the building, after a while you get use to it.

Well, this Eastern Orthodox is Byzantine. They put all the vestments on the Archbishop as part of the Ordination service-of a Deacon and they said "Catechumens" depart!" I'm not exactly a catechumen and I didn't depart. :^) nobody else did either The priest said to me later, "I am impatient with the fruitful Byzantine show" which was another thing that made me laugh.

Assuming that is you, Chi, yes you should srsly consider taking up dog training, especially if you do it one on one instead of with a group. That was the sole reason I picked mine. She insisted that she come to my house to do all the training bc it's my puppie's territory. Once we got good at that, we met off my property.
Just my opinion, but all the group classes don't seem to be effective. All the advice I have gotten from those of you that are master dog trainers matches what my own trainer has taught me.
It requires a lot of patience with the owners though. My get and trainer have told enough stories about how frequent it is that owners defend spoiling their dogs and are scared of traumatizing the dog if they are firm and strict. I'm so guilty of that but at least I know it.

Our pastor's oldest daughter is a nurse at one of the Dallas county jails. They're actually nice compared to the state prisons but she still has a broken heart over what many prisoners endure, especially sexual violations. She's a law and order conservative, too, not a liberal softie.
You're very right that almost all of us could be put away in prison for a very long time if someone really wanted to punish us. Think of all the times the left has used the legal system against conservatives like Rick Perry, Tom Delay, and the folks who went undercover to film Planned Parenthood.

That's because we have obscured the distinction between offenses that are mala in se and mala prohibida (hope I got that second one right). The first category are crimes that are intrinsically bad, like murder and robbery. The second are administrative "crimes"; things that are only illegal because some legislature declared them to be. Drugs being the prime example.

That's interesting. What I read is that he and Eddie fought over the direction of the music. Eddie wanted more of a sound that would appeal to a broader audience and that's where the synthed up music started but Roth wanted to stick with the rock sound of their early music. Eddie is a control freak and got the last say in everything. It makes sense that once Dave realized he could make it on his own, he left.

Just look at how the law "operates" in Communist countries, if you want a preview of life under the Hillary administration. Everything is illegal, and that's so the system has a pretext to convict you for anything if the Inner Party doesn't like you, or suspects that you're not wholly on board with the Glorious Revolution. Then it's off to "re-education".

Politicized (but delicious) Pumpkin Stew Recipe
Tonight was "use up whatever's in the fridge to make a dinner" night, so having assessed what I have on hand, I decided to make a pumpkin stew.
I have been growing some pumpkins on a vine in my yard, but one of the pumpkins kind of "died" on the vine somewhat prematurely, and was a bit yellowish and started to deflate and obviously was never going to reach full maturity. So I harvested it anyway and stuck it in the fridge., and thought I'd give it a chance as food.
So here's what I did, along with the costs of each ingredient:
Fried an onion (6¢
and a home-grown zucchini (0¢ and a mildly hot pepper (about 8¢ in a pan until they really got overly browned (on purpose). Then put some water (essentially 0¢ directly into the blackened pan and added the cubed and skinned pumpkin. Heat to boiling, start to simmer, then add in a sliced carrot (maybe 5¢ and some fresh pole beans from my garden (0¢. Finally, add in a can of diced tomatoes (59¢ and a handful of pitiful cherry tomatoes from the garden that also didn't mature properly (0¢. In a separate little pan, fry up the coup de grace, some "soyrizo" -- a chorizo made with soy protein instead of meat (it's really really good from a vegetarian's perspective) -- I used about 1/6 of a $1.99 package, or 33¢ worth. When it's really super-fried, put it into the stew. Simmer for about 30 more minutes at least so the flavors blend. Then, another key -- take it off the heat and let it cool down for at least 15 minutes.
Enough to feed, basically, FOUR people. And all concurred with my assessment, that it was the most delicious pumpkin stew anyone had ever tasted!
Also: Super-healthy.
Total cooking time: 60 minutes.
And finally, the political part --
Total cost: $1.11.
(And more than half of that was a random can of diced tomatoes I had on the shelf, for which with a bit more effort I could have substituted some more of my own tomatoes. Without the can, it would have been 52¢ total.)
Conclusion: If you put the effort in to do some home cooking, you COULD quite easily feed your entire family with healthy and delicious and copious food for far less than the amount the average welfare recipient gets every month. I'm not on food stamps, obviously, but whenever I see the annual ritual of Democratic politicians playacting like it's impossible to live on the food stamp allowance, I just know that it's all bullshit.
Home-cooking skills are one of the keys to ending "poverty." In the "old days," folks with very little, money-wise, could still eat quite well. But such skills have almost completely disappeared from the average poor American household.

Always liked the scene in Blues Bros where they go to the apartment right by the El tracks. Initially insane-making noise as the trains pass by constantly, it becomes kind of soothing... kind of.
Out here at our place, the tracks are a little over a half mile away. Perfect for enjoying the whistling and rumbling, but not so loud and close as to be annoying.

I learned to make bread, I think I paid today $0.30 a pound for flour (in 50lb quantities), the yeast I buy in bulk and I could go the sourdough route if I wanted to.
Once upon a time, being a good baker or a good cook was a mark of distinction
I also do a lot of cooking because I enjoy it and it is cheaper to buy the fixings and do it myself, and I like learning.
I have people ask me all the time why I cook this way. They usually eat what I bring, too.

Although I am about THREE MILES from the nearest train tracks, when the trains go by at night, under the correct atmospheric conditions, I can hear them extremely distinctly, as if they were right outside my window -- I can hear each wheel clickety-clack as they pass over the welded joints, etc. But, because it's three miles away, it's all very distant and quiet and attenuated. Yet still crisply clear.
Meanwhile, in the intervening three miles, there is an entire urban landscape filled with car crashes and gunshots and frat parties and police sirens -- and yet I can't hear ANY of that, even though it's technically closer to me! Very weird.
So in my case, I find the trains sounds soothing.

Me too!
This year, all my Jerusalem artichokes are also about 10 feet tall, even though I never tended to them in any way -- they just grew on their own. And just right today, they are just beginning to show their flower buds. So we're in the exact same situation! I have no idea why this year they are growing so much taller than last year. El Nino, I guess.
In fact, they'e so big and there are so many plants that I have started to get worried about what to do with all those J-chokes. I have already begun researching additional ways to prepare them to eliminate (or attenuate) the intestinal gas situation. But sadly, apparently, it's much more difficult to deal with than I would prefer. There IS no good solution -- aside form the two that I stumbled upon (boiling in lemon juice, and pickling). Inulin is a harsh mistress. Slow cooking doesn't really solve the issue, despite the old wives' tales. "Cold storage" for six weeks can help (i.e. dig 'em up, but then purposely don't eat them for a month or two.)

(My knees hurt, my heels hurt.)
I expected to have a sore arm a few days and maybe a little tired or fluey, but weird tightness in my muscles set in. All of my teeth began to ache like I had run the 400 yard dash and tried to win. And shortly thereafter I had jaw spasms - almost took myself to the ER, because it was hard to talk and swallow. It got worse, my jaw clenched so hard I cracked at least one molar.
Seems like the toxin might not have been perfectly denatured or something.

Read up on the complete (rare) side effects of tetanus boosters. It sounds like you may been having one of the severe ones. Trouble swallowing is one that usually "contact your doctor immediately".

Not only are we not recapturing but Obama, with the help of Senate RINOs, is packing the courts even further with far left commies in black robes. Most of the appellate courts now have 3/4 majorities of Democrat zeolites who don't give a shit for the constitution.

Hillary Clinton got a reported $8 million for her first lady book, but IIRC, the publisher lost money on the book.
Of course, she wasn't a "historic first" like the Obamas, so maybe that explains why publishers think so many more people will shell out money for the Obamas' books? Seems like a pretty risky proposition to me, but maybe they're counting on the Obamas putting clauses into their speaking contracts requiring the purchase of X number of their books, or perhaps they've made a deal with Hillary to require the government to purchase X number of their books (like Obama was having the government purchase copies of his books).
