Monkey Saves Dying Friend Morning Thread
Feel good story of the day here.
Onlookers at a train station in northern India watched in awe as a monkey came to the rescue of an injured friend - resuscitating another monkey that had been electrocuted and knocked unconscious. The injured monkey had fallen between the tracks, apparently after touching high-tension wires at the train station in the north Indian city of Kanpur. His companion came to the rescue and was captured on camera lifting the friend's motionless body, shaking it, dipping it into a mud puddle and biting its head and skin - working until the hurt monkey regained consciousness.Video below the fold.

Expropriation [for the Chinese canal] law upsets peasants, environmentalists. 30 arrested nationwide. President Daniel Ortega dubbed a 'traitor'.

I've never had problems with the smoke, but I use mesquite which is very, very good for smoking.
My understanding is that if you're going to use charcoal (for heat) and a wood like hickory or apple for the smoke, you want to soak the wood chunks for a good 8 - 12 hours (or you use a whole lot of wood chunks) to make sure you get the most smoke out of them.
I don't have to worry about that with mesquite- it burns for quite a while all on its own. My smoke ring was a good 1/4 inch all the way around once we cut the brisket.

Sounds delicious. Mine is an electric on with a pan and cover for wood chips. The instructions state that the chips are to be soaked. Can't get enough smoke. Went dry chips, smoke is better. Going with a finer chip/saw dust next time and see where it goes. My smoker is pretty air tight.

Bedtime here, and I didn't realise how late it was because I've spent the last hour trying to get a Twitter account with no success
Mama AJ posted a nice kitty pic on Twitter, so I thought I could do that too
Twitter does not want me it seems
There was no way I could verify my email account according to the Twitter people, kept on getting redirected to posting another email account - I don't have another bloody account !
Good night everyone, and have a lovely yesterday - I'll leave you with this article on the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race - gorgeous pics of this beautiful city!

And in unreservedly good news:
A man angry at American Airlines employees for wishing passengers "Merry Christmas" as they boarded was kicked off a plane. The unidentified flyer was boarding a flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport to Dallas on Tuesday morning when the gate agent checking boarding passes greeted him with the well-worn phrase, NYPost.com reported.
After barking at the employee that not everyone celebrates the holiday and continuing toward the jet, the cranky traveler was met by a flight attendant who also wished him a "Merry Christmas," the report said. The man then began "lecturing" the pilot and flight attendants, refusing to clam down.
When he was removed from the flight, other passengers clapped and cheered, the Post said.
Ho ho ho.

Now, Republicans are rethinking how aggressive they can be on taxes in light of the projected $279 million revenue gap that's plaguing Kansas this year - shortfalls that resulted in the state's credit rating being downgraded and nearly booted the Republican from office in a state that bleeds red.
Of course, Republicans aren't ditching supply-side economic theory or tax cuts. But they're considering ways to avoid Kansas' troubles. Their takeaways include smaller cuts over extended periods of time, stopgaps to protect revenues - and avoiding overpromising.
I notice that none of their remedies seem to include "reduce the size and scope of government" or "provide fewer services."
Funny about that. It's almost as if they *like* State Control of our lives...

Looks like Kansas misjudged the Laffer Curve, and simultaneously assumed more business generation from tax cuts. So they slashed their income tax rate (and exempted a whole bunch of businesses entirely- which not only shrinks the rate, but (more importantly) the tax base), but assumed that they could continue with the same spending.
Oops.
Frankly, were I in Kansas, that wouldn't hurt my feelings too much- and I'd be telling my State Rep "you don't have enough money? Fine, cut spending."

In fact, between posting here, I'm trying to figure out how to generate a fake instance of our core business object (for other developers out there- it has to be more than a "Fake" or a "Mock" because I have to be able to do anything to it the system might be able to do, but for testing purposes, I have to be able simply to assert it's existence in a given state.

I don't know enough about Colombia to know if FARC are the "good guys" or "bad guys." That was a more general: "Hey, y'all are the rebels here. I'm not obligated to stop killing you and release any prisoners at any point, and certainly not before you have laid down your own arms."

That one has an explanation. Really bad crimes were punished by hanging, then cutting them down still alive, followed by drawing and quartering or removing their entrails and casting them into a fire before their still-dying eyes.
So, hanging "until they were dead" had to be specified.
Posted by: Citizen X-mas at December 26, 2014 10:27 AM (7ObY1)
Yep. Hanging as a punishment existed before the concept of short-drop v long-drop ever did. Often you'd be lifted in the air by the noose- so it was a form of strangulation.
So you'd be "hanged by the neck" and the amount of time could vary. See the execution scene of Braveheart for one example. I believe (though I'm not sure about this) that you could also receive lesser punishments- sort of an "if you survive this, you'll have paid your debt to society" sort of thing.

Usually, but if the hangman is incompetent or misjudges the distance of the drop, a condemned prisoner can strangle to death, which is what happened to the Lincoln assassin Lewis Powell.

Lopez Rivera was sentenced in various charges including terrorism and conspiracy 23 years ago when his Chicago apartment was raided and discovered to have explosives, bomb making materials, maps and instructions on insurrection
And almost no furniture.

The director of the LBJ

that opens in theatres Thursday incorrectly portrays Johnson as an

Apparently they need to learn some history.
The original "Feminism" (say... starting with Susan B Anthony) was only really possible in a Christian society wherein women we at least coming to be seen as morally equal to men.
Other societies before that? Not so much.
So it is only (or at least "primarily") because of Christianity that these shrieking harpies are able to whine about their current picayune "grievances" in the first place.

They protest for all sorts of rad fem stuff, some of it good (like against stoning and sex slave trafficking) and some of it more typical (pro abortion, pro SSM, etc.). They are what Marcotte et. al. would be if they were ever motivated enough to do anything more that whine on twitter.
