Overnight Open Thread (6 Dec 2014)
One provision pushes forward a National Women's History Museum in Washington, DC - long advocated by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan).

Measles is making a terrifying comeback in the U.S., with some 600 cases reported this year, more than in any year in the past two decades. There are two reasons: ,the ease of international travel, and an increasing number of people refusing vaccinations, usually on behalf of their children.
Uh uh. Ease of international travel? Is that a new code being put in use now? Modern Art They don't do art like they used to. NSFW!!!! Usher charges iPhone in woman's vagina at the Art Basel in Miami.

ABC: Republicans will hold at least 246 House seats come January, according to election results Saturday, giving the GOP a commanding majority that matches the party's post-World War II high during Democratic President Harry S. Truman's administration.
The GOP retained control of two seats in runoffs in Louisiana, expanding the advantage for Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who can afford defections from his increasingly conservative caucus and still get legislation passed.

Interesting terminology, considering the margin. You "come up short" if you're a shy couple of quarters for what you plopped on the counter at 7-11. If you walk into an auto showroom and offer 5 bucks for a BMW, on the other hand...

TJ has checked off OkCupid's boxes for straight and male because those are closest to how he sees himself.
But with the new options, TJ says he'll probably identify as trans man, transsexual and transmasculine, meaning he's a masculine man born biologically female. He also plans to update his sexual orientation to queer and heteroflexible, which means he mostly goes for girls --with exceptions.
Tell, you what -- think we're good here. No need to trouble yourself with an exception for us.

All federal prison inmates will be prohibited from smoking, unless they receive a religious exemption. Staff will also still be able to smoke in designated areas. The government said they are moving forward with the regulation, which goes into effect in 30 days, out of concerns of the health of their inmates.

Hundreds of protesters in an already scheduled march against police brutality staged a die-in at the iconic corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue, where a man was fatally shot by police.
Cellphone video captured the aftermath of the incident, which unfolded Friday night about 7 p.m. after officers said they responded to an "assault with a deadly weapon" in-progress call.
The Los Angeles Police Department says the man did not comply with officers' orders to "get down."

The first question underscores that. What kind of fool strips down and sticks a maglight in their teeth to handle an electrical problem? You pull ON the rubber boots and thick rubber gloves; any handyman without a decent LED headlight these days is a dinosaur. THEN you get the "electrical" tool box with all the GOOD insulated tools and use the non-contact circuit detector to find the faults. Then, power-off before repair.
You don't have those tools or know how to use them? Fine, call an electrician; we live in a highly technical modern society that steers us towards specialization. Don't fuck with alternating current, especially that 230 volt shit in the UK where this test is from, it'll kill you.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose wore an "I Can't Breathe" T-shirt in pregame warmups prior to Saturday night's 112-102 loss to the Golden State Warriors. The shirt refers to Eric Garner, the New York man who died in July after a police officer placed him in a chokehold while he was being arrested for selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.

Lesnar is a freak of human nature.
Punk is just a dude. He won't even fight in UFC at heavyweight or light heavyweight. Probably middleweight -185. CM Punk was never a big dude. His success in WWE was cause he was such a good talker.

After she passed, Grandpa kept her last cat for nearly 9 years ("Your grandmother! She stuck me with that cat!"); when the assisted living wouldn't let him bring Feisto and my aunt took him, he missed "the stupid thing."

However, elation at the spacecraft awakening turned to horrified shock as the probe began to emit a terrified electronic scream -- before suddenly falling silent once again.

Me Too, I almost stared smoking again. Well I did but I only made it to five a day, or was it ten, unless I was drinking heavy, which was everyday. Then I smoked the whole pack, but now, I don't smoke, because I don't have any, but I want one real bad.

At least you did not go to a local indie movie to network and have your sense of story telling abused like I did. Friends with one of the production crew and messed with their brains on the segment they most proud of - compared the ending of that segment to the ending of the book The Island of Crimea. Which means they will probably just nod and pretend to really know what I am talking about.

I think WWE only signed Punk because Bellator would have otherwise. Viacom owns Bellator and is starting to get their shit together and put on good fight cards -- mostly with freak show events like Punk would be.
Punk is mid-30s and never fought for real in his life. He's trained jiu-jitsu for a decade, but that's it.

I had friend come over a few months ago who doesn't smoke & he smelled like smoke. Woman he lived with, in an in-law apartment of house smelled as bad as if he smoked.
Smell made me quit years ago. I couldn't stand smell in house even though I burned candles, sprayed Lysol, etc.

OK, I know I'm probably in the minority, but in general I like spiders. They don't bother me and I don't bother them, and they are very helpful in general. In the library, I just leave them alone so that they can eat all of the other bugs that come in; in the rest of the house I capture them with a glass and a piece of cardboard and escort them outside into the garden.
Same thing applies to garden spiders. When they build a web across a frequently-traveled path, I catch them and move them into an out-of-the way corner of the yard, so that they can continue to catch mosquitoes without accidentally snagging me.

Very good point. So in the interests of full disclosure, I should note that there are certain kinds of spiders that I already know are poisonous or that I classify as "unpredictable and fast" that I will squash when I find them (or they find me). Most spiders, however, are in the "live and let live" category. When I give one a corner of the library to live in, you'd be surprised to see all of the dessicated insect carcasses that show up underneath the web. Good enough for me.
A general warning: really, spider guys, you shouldn't hide in my firewood. Sometimes I don't see you until it's too late to save you.

UFC PPVs are down though, revenue is down, their debt got degraded, Viacom is putting some real money into Bellator as competition -- so I think it's a sign UFC is feeling the heat.
Casual interest in UFC is down a lot from the peak 4 years ago -- when they had Brock Lesnar.
So bit of a desperate move by UFC to try and grab some crossover casual fans.
There are also rumors Lesnar might go back to UFC for one more run.

Warning to those that get creeped - don't continue reading!
When I first bought my house, I was twenty & had a couple roommates. We had a game room set up in the garage... you know the deal - free carpet from Mom's house, couches we picked from the curb on trash day, an old coin-op pool table, a dart board, and a beermeister.
Anyway, one day we watched a small spider slowly web her way down from the rafters to the floor. As soon as she hit the carpet, I stomped on it.
Then I picked my foot up - i cannot explain the sound of seven guys running and screaming and tripping over each other...
did you know that spiders can have something like five hundred thousand babies inside them? And they all came out - I think they were chasing us, i dont know.

After a couple of minutes of watching the cat inching along the floor, I get up and take a closer look... there on the floor was a (baby?) spider, barely 4mm long slowly making its way across the kitchen.

So in the interests of full disclosure, I should note that there are certain kinds of spiders that I already know are poisonous or that I classify as "unpredictable and fast" that I will squash when I find them (or they find me). Most spiders, however, are in the "live and let live" category. When I give one a corner of the library to live in, you'd be surprised to see all of the dessicated insect carcasses that show up underneath the web. Good enough for me.
Posted by: CQD at December 06, 2014 11:34 PM (tcvYF)
I used to kill spiders on sight, but I've learned to distinguish between different kinds. The ones that hang out in corners and mind their own business I leave alone. As for the ones that wander about, nowadays I keep jars with pieces of cardboard to catch and release them outside. Old mayonnaise or peanut butter jars are the ideal size for this purpose. I have one in every room of the house.
I also have a flyswatter in every room of the house. Those are for centipedes.

Okay, as promised last week, just finished watching the third official Bond flick, "Goldfinger" from 1964. Impression: enjoyable and you can tell the filmmakers/writers were on their way still to building the Bond mystique, but IMHO not as good as "From Russia With Love."
Looking forward to "Thunderball" next weekend, which I've read is when the 007 films *really* took off.

And some fool had hung a Hawkeye flag in a bar in Indiana, and that was creepy.

their way still to building the Bond mystique, but IMHO not as good as
"From Russia With Love."[/i
IMO, that's why "Goldfinger" was all about the babes (building that particular aspect of the Bond 'mystique'), while FRWL was (mostly) the 'spycraft' angle.
With "Thunderball", the pendulum swings partway back to babe angle, but with a healthy dose of action and a decent amount of spycraft.
Thunderball makes it into my 'Top 5' Bond flicks...

Unfortunately, that window is long shut; the book is so dated now that it's a dead duck as a viable film premise. And, too many of the Fleming books are in the same boat.
IMO, the few books that could be part of the re-boot are FRWL, and Thunderball... both have SPECTRE as the main villain, and core plots that still work, e.g. - stealing a cypher machine, and purloined nukes.

so dated now that it's a dead duck as a viable film premise. And, too
many of the Fleming books are in the same boat.
IMO, the few
books that could be part of the re-boot are FRWL, and Thunderball...
both have SPECTRE as the main villain, and core plots that still work,
e.g. - stealing a cypher machine, and purloined nukes.
We shall see what we shall see tho...

Well, the movie franchise always put James Bond in the present, and all his gadgets, and many of the plot devices were based on current events. What if you were to reboot the movies as period pieces, set in the early to mid 1950's, with the technology of the day? Which was not too shabby, anyway. In the novels, Bond had a blower Bentley, circa 1929, as his personal car, and used it (and got it wrecked in an ambush) in Casino Royale.

As interesting as a 'retro-Bond' flick would be... that boat has sailed long ago. The franchise is currently set in stone, as it were.
And then there are the 'current realities'... YOLT could be done, easily; BUT, the ChiComs wouldn't be the villains behind the scenes*.
(*As with Goldfinger...)
The studio that 'went there' would suffer a massive hacking attack, and be barred from distro rights in the PRC to the end of the century (or whenever the CCP falls from power).

That's why I pretty much avoid such parties. I can only listen to so much stupidity before I feel compelled to mouth off.
I work in the historical administration field and whenever I deal colleagues they really only 50% are throwing that shit. But I'm in the Midwest.
It's been great to remind educators that their evil crap pushed by Bush (No Child Left Behind) was a bipartisan effort w/ Teddy (off the bridge) Kennedy.

Drilling a wildcat well. Turned out to be a dry hole, but I think the area has potential. Every lava flow we penetrated had a puff of gas beneath it, which had to come from somewhere.

Look at what happened to IndyCar when she left. They had a bunch of drivers that nobody had ever heard of. Good drivers, drivers that won the races and the championships, but nobody had ever heard of them because Danica got all the press and usually finished in the middle of the pack.
Last year in NASCAR David Regan and David Gilliland got 1/100th of the coverage that she did. Yet, both finished ahead of her, and David Regan even won a race.

FSU- No one.
Oregon- Beat everyone they played
Alabama- Lost at Mississippi
TCU- Lost at Baylor by 3
Baylor- Lost at WVa by 14
Ohio State- Lost to Virginia Tech at home by 14
If you lose a home game to a team that finished tied for last in the ACC Coastal division, you do not deserve to be playing for a National Championship. The Orange Bowl is a good destination for you.
If you lose to the 5th place team in your league by 14 points, you do not get to play for a National Championship, you get a trip to the Cotton Bowl.
So the top 4 will be:
1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. FSU
4. TCU
Sugar Bowl: Bama vs TCU
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs FSU
If the committee decides that they don't want the chance of Bama and FSU playing in the Championship game, then it will work the rankings so that Bama/FSU will be Sugar Bowl. If that means they are 1-4 or 2-3, it doesn't matter. The committee will make sure that Bama is in the Sugar and Oregon in the Rose.

My Greenland pics are all paper prints and 35 mm negatives. Before I ever heard of digital cameras. I ought to scan them, and put up an album on Photobucket, or elsewhere. What is the best way to scan a large hoard of old photos? Do it from prints, or from negatives? My little HP printer can scan, but it would be a huge undertaking to scan all my drawers full of prints.

They could've done the 'dos out of sequence, beginning with the decade requiring the longest hair ('70's Farrah?) & ending with the shortest (20's Gibson Girl?). Then putting them in sequence post-production. Would've been less clever, but perhaps more accurate. But still doesn't account for how differing amounts of body fat defined the beauty trends through the decades.

Do you think that will make a difference?
Remember that teh wimminz have already declared that "truth" is not important in this story -- knowing that this "Jackie" person could have been assaulted in a rapey (or rape-rapey) way is all that matters. There is lots of guilt to go around here, and it's all on the Evil Men.
This is 21st-Century America, where white, heterosexual, middle-class, non-ultra-liberal men are guilty and cannot be proven innocent. Not ever.

I know the thread is dead, but I left the window open when I went to bed last night.
The 1920s women were called "flappers", and you're right, short hair was in. The Gibson Girl was around 1890-1910, I believe. Just going off of memory, they had long, luxuriant hair worn "up", and wore corsets emphasizing their hips.
Damn, I nearly talked myself back into the bunk.
