Overnight Open Thread (3-8-2015)
The Clintons are creeps and liars and scoundrels and misfits, always have been, always will be. They are the penicillin-resistant syphilis of American politics....A self-respecting people would have sent this clan of scrofulous grifters and po-faced con artists into whatever passes for exile (comfortable exile, of course) in the 21st century. Instead, we are giving them a serious shot at a return to the White House.
At least this time, we'll know to keep an eye on the silver.

Hillary Clinton to Take Down Iconic Photo of Her Holding Blackberry
After going through a week of embarrassing media coverage about a secret private email account she used exclusively while serving as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is set on Sunday to disappear from her Twitter account a famous photo of her holding a Blackberry that has become politically inconvenient as it reminds viewers of the email scandal instead of her 'badass cool.'
Clinton announced Saturday she will be taking her social media photos down as part of a conveniently timed Clinton Foundation women's rights campaign called "Not There".
And here are some of the other Hillary private email addresses that were created and presumably used since a hacker was able to compile this list:
Other accounts included:
- hdr@clintonemail.com
- hdr18@clintonemail.com
- hdr19@clintonemail.com
- hdr20@clintonemail.com
- hdr21@clintonemail.com
- h.clinton@clintonemail.com
- Hillary@clintonemail.com
- contact@clintonemail.com
- mau_suit@clintonemail.com (?!)

How Leonard Nimoy Fought to Get Nichelle Nichols Pay Equity
Koenig: Leonard (Nimoy, Mr. Spock) was always kind of unapproachable. But a very good man. Sound ethics and a good sense of morality.LV Sun: How so?
Koenig: When it came to the attention of the cast that there was a disparity in pay in that George [Takei] and I were getting the same pay but Nichelle was not getting as much, I took it to Leonard and he took it to the front office and they corrected that.
And remember this was back when Nimoy was a nobody actor lucky to get small parts. He also went to bat for Nichols and Takei in the 70s to keep them employed in the Star Trek franchise.
Nimoy: There was also the case where George and Nichelle we're not hired to do their voices in the animated series . I refused to do Spock until they were hired. Mr. Roddenberry started calling me the conscience of Star Trek.

Correlation between oral sex and a low incidence of preeclampsia: a role for soluble HLA in seminal fluid?
The involvement of immune mechanisms in the aetiology of preeclampsia is often suggested. Normal pregnancy is thought to be associated with a state of tolerance to the foreign antigens of the fetus, whereas in preeclamptic women this immunological tolerance might be hampered. The present study shows that oral sex and swallowing sperm is correlated with a diminished occurrence of preeclampsia which fits in the existing idea that a paternal factor is involved in the occurrence of preeclampsia.
Sure it's an older study but then there's this recent one which also points to the power of male essence.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he doesnt have any emails to turn over to the State Department.
Appearing on ABCs This Week Sunday, Powell responded to revelations that he used a personal email account, rather than a government one, when he was in charge of the State Department. "I dont have any to turn over. I did not keep a cache of them. I did not print them off. I do not have thousands of pages somewhere in my personal files," Powell said.

Ain't my usual thing, and I really don't mean to buzzkill, but can I ask for prayers?
I found out yesterday that my BIL has been given that ugly diagnosis. Apparently, a tumor on pelvic bone. He is now @ MCV in wonderful hands, and treatment has already started.
Biopsy results tomorrow with a bone marrow scan (?) or biopsy (?) in the morning.
They found it quite early, so I'm praying for the best. Please do the same if you are the praying sort.
My sister has been through more than anyone should endure in two lifetimes, and I'm dying just thinking of what she's goind through.
His name is Lewis. Thanks.

I still see links on our side of the internet to it. I think we view it as being more important than it is now because of how big a deal it was when we grew up.
In 2015, getting worked up over an SNL skit, good or bad for our side, is like getting worked up over some new article in Time. Maybe we should just stop paying attention to it.

From the time that he first showed up in the Reagan White House as a military liaison to Caspar Weinberger, the at the time unknown Powell was recognized by powerful patrons who thought he well reflected their values, and who went on to promote and guide Powell during his rise to prominence.

there is a really good series on youtube called "the great war" where this Swedish historian goes through he events week by week on the 100th anniversary. Each week is about 10 min, and since he started in 1914 he has already covered the first year.
It is worth a watch, although some weeks were a little slow, presenting events as they happened really helped me to understand what led up to it and how it got so out of hand.

Bebe's!
As always it was expertly planned by CBD. It was a fine location with a beautiful view of the river and more importantly, new york; so you new there was hope for a better future.
It had very reasonably priced alcohol and importantly it was in hoboken so easy access to hobos.
It was relatively quiet through 10 pm or so then we learned where the jersey shore crowd winters.
Interestingly there was a relatively high proportion of lurkers. Fine fellows as they were, except for the plant, I am confused by lurkers that show up at a party. You refuse to comment anonymously but you show up in person?
Anyway, as no one would be surprised everyone was a lot of fun and I got to associate some faces with names. Surprisingly, for me, I liked everyone I met more after having met them in person than before.
After CBD got all responsible and bailed a hardened core of morons, kind of the pit of the party, wandered around looking for a quieter location with a crowd old enough to wear coats; instead of going coatless to show off the guns.
As far as I know all the claims of bloodletting and debauchery which are assumed at these things are urban myths.

Now if she had any brains, she'd have sent most of her emails from a State Department address, and only relegated the "hot" ones to her dark address. And if she were really clever, she'd have sent self-serving emails from the State Department address, and then waited for the (inevitable) FOIA request to make herself look good without her pawprints on the whole affair.
But no. The brightest woman ever (which, if true, would be a devastating argument against the 19th Amendment) sends every goddamned email from her dark server, and not a one from a legitimate address. The absence of any emails from a legitimate address fairly screams gross malfeasance.

That doesn't mean it's not worth checking out or even owning. I'd say, if you can get it for a reasonable price, go for it. But, don't pay overs.

buried and could do a lot of damage to the Leftist cause on her way
down.
And yet after all of Obama's Dem primary shenanigans she quietly accepted a job in his administration, never once publicly disagreeing with him or his foreign policy decisions (unless I'm forgetting something) in exchange for him settling all of her Hillary! 2008 debt.

It's not just that, even. She could have sent emails such as "I'm worried that President Obama's decision re Libya will put good Americans' lives at risk, but despite my strenuous arguments to take measures to ensure their safety, he overruled me. He is, after all, the ultimate decision-maker."
But apparently she wasn't smart enough to recognize what an opportunity she had.

Yeah, there are some parallels. I remember when it was being made. Troubled production is an understatement. I recall that Mick Jagger was cast in it and started shooting... there were on location photos of him in the jungle with a bow and arrow. Weird. Now that I think about the flick, it's been so long since I've seen it, I might've been unfair. What I would have called just a good flick back then, would be a fucking masterpiece by today's standards. I'll have to watch it again.
Apocalypse Now? You know, that was tv the other night and I watched it again. What surprised me was that it was an alternate edit that I haven't seen since it was released. It was the version with the "air strike" on Kurtz's compound during the end credits. Has that been re released or something? It also had some edits during the sampan scene and when cheif cops the spear.

"Redux" is kinda meh. The extra stuff is fascinating, but doesn't help the pace or the story. I prefer the original. Yeah, I seem to recall that the "air strike" version was changed early on to the plain credits and only lived on with oddball distribution versions. I'd buy it if I could get it, because that ending is fantastic. Weird surreal and fitting.

Eh I remember times when it was funny. Now granted a lot of what I watched was when it was on Comedy Central and E! and they had trimmed the fat down to one hour shows. But now its not funny. You can even tell in the audience response. There are some laughs but they're like short bursts, and its almost more "clapter" humor.
I watched the Celebrity Jeopardy from the 40th Anniversary. And some was funny but it was taken too far/too long. Having Norm MacDonald showing up as Burt Reynolds was good, but needing the call back to the "Turd Ferguson" joke was unnecessary. Then repeating that joke of having another celebrity show up this time with Jim Carrey doing Matthew McConaughey. Its like they can't help beating the joke to death.

Rewarded by his being rudely snubbed, having people refuse to march with him on the Selma bridge, and being cropped out of the majority of the photos on the wire services.

Doesn't surprise me any. I teach a lot of women to shoot, and most of 'em end up outshooting 80%+ of the guys at the range.
I'd say the ladies become solid "8" ring shooters, within their first fifty rounds.
That's because they don't come pre-wired with delusions of adequacy in the firearms department. So, the instruction sticks, and they tend to *do* the instructions, by the letter, step by step.
In so doing, they get the requisite success built into the process.
The guys? Yeah, about 30% just flat won't look at the front sight, much less a complete sight picture. And they guys are harder to teach good, smooth trigger control.
HOW. EVER.
Simply due to interest levels, a larger percentage of guys will stick with the program, and persevere into becoming decent to very good shooters.
At that point, it the difference between the women and men boils down to "Who Practices the Most, and Correctly".
That, until the skill levels bump up against the constraints of human physiology. Then, as with most sports, the very top ultra-elite echelons are held almost universally, by the men.
But for those of us down in the Great Fat Middle?
I'll welcome a good female shooter on my IDPA or Three Gun squad, any day, any time.
Women make good shooters. Pissed off and scared women are likely some of the deadliest shooters to be found.
Much. Respect.

Maybe we should let them have the Conservative label. They want to conserve the bathwater and throw out the baby. They'll fight to the death on hot-button issues of no immediate consequences, and surrender readily on all the important things.
I forget who it was, but one of those political writers of old once said that it was the fate of the Conservative to be dragged kicking and screaming into a future they don't want. If that's what they want to be, let them have the label, and let's do the dragging.
What are we? Who are we? Libertarian-Conservatives? That manages to bracket the target without actually hitting it, but there's an older label for us, that was stolen and abused for decades. Classical Liberals founded this country. Now that the name Liberal hasn't been used in political contexts for a while and the cretins have gone back to Progressive, and I think it's time for us to steal it back and bring it to its original meaning.

I can sadly think of Not one way that this could work out well at this time. That would require a Political Leadership that was willing to talk over the Media to the people. The current bunch is still terrified of bad press and being blamed for anything, while simply not realizing that the Media is their enemy. They will blame them for everything. Always. And, worse than that, They are complicit in what is going on.

Yep, I fully agree. There's no way we could make that work with our political leadership. There's no way we can do -anything- with our current political leadership. That's why we need a third party. I'm just suggesting a name. I'm also kinda hoping that a third party with a name last used by their causes would confuse them for long enough to make a first-impression with voters before they realized what was going on.

I can't sleep and I want to post about some things that I've been through lately.
I was ill for a month, couldn't figure out what was wrong. When the docs did diagnose, I was septic, near death and taken to surgery. After 2 days on a ventilator (horrible) and horrendous pain, my wound was closed enough for recovery.
I am home and have IV's and nurses twice a day until a wound vac can be applied. Incredible all the technology that saved me.
I want to share a beautiful story. In my twilight of delirium, sedation and pain, I would hear that people are praying for me.
I am a Roman Catholic and my parish priest came but I don't recall. The Chaplin came and a visiting priest from India. He heard I went to Calcutta in 1979 and met Mother Theresa and the orphanage. He emailed India and had 50 orphanage children pray for me. I was unaware of all of this.
I shouldn't be alive but I am. I believe in the power of prayer and I believe in fighting for life. I hope for 25+ more years and maybe I'll get it.
I also thought I should share "witness" since this was such a powerful event.
I know it's 3 AM and not many will read this and that's okay. I just needed to reach out and thank anyone who helped with those prayers. When we ask each other and pray we provide a powerful intercession. I am blessed to be a part of this blog and I will be at the next Wisconsin meet up. So sorry I have to miss the upcoming one.

Thoughts & prayers.
Reminds me of when my father was only given a 10% chance of living; or when an old co-worker of mine's wife was paralyzed over half her body, which turned out to be a freak blessing due to the root cause being a huge brain tumor which no one would have otherwise noticed.

Where are you now? How are things going with your recovery? Is there anything we can do to help?

Thanks for the wonderful story.
inspirational, to say the least. Continued prayers for you and yours.

If you ever feel for a man so much that you feel the need to--dedicate--a song that ecampsulates what you feel for him, this song pretty much captures just that:

Not me. They are working on a pipe out in the street, so no water for the last 5 hours. Had to run outside to pee, so I might as well stay up.

Thing is.....it's dirt easy, and nearly impossible to screw-up.
Vegetables -- white onion and zucchini. Slice the onions into strips about 1.5" long by 3/8" wide [cut across onion in 3/8" layers, cut outer rings about 1.5" (5 times) cut outer-middle rings about 1.5" (4 times), cut middle rings about 1.5" (3 times), cut inner rings about 1.5" (2 times). Cut flower and stem-end off zucchini, then cut about 1.5" long. Divide each section into 9, 12, or 16 rectangular slices, depending on thickness.
Using soy oil, cook veggies. When mostly cooked, toss in some black pepper, add dab of butter, splash of soy sauce, and "floof" of sesame seeds. Toss until everything sticks.
Serve with sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar, whipped onion (now you know where those central bits that didn't have 1.5" segments went, don't you?) and whipped ginger (which, if you don't want to peel it, can be bought in a tube). I actually have a mini-food processor that works for this, otherwise you could use a blender.
The meats are very similar -- cut very small, fried in soy oil.....but here's a subtle difference.....add in garlic butter. What, you have no garlic butter? Then add the butter, sprinkle with powdered garlic, do a quick preliminary toss.....then add the soy sauce, pepper, and sesame seeds and toss until coated.
The dipping sauce for this is supposed to be Chinese mustard, soy sauce, cream, and sesame seeds.....do yourself a favor and just go with: SB Oriental hot mustard powder (from a can) and soy sauce. Mix to a thin paste.
Again, this is dirt easy, comes out like an expensive restaurant, is nearly impossible to mess up too badly, and tastes great.

You had me panicked for a second, but it's in there -- "Serve with sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar, whipped onion (now you
know where those central bits that didn't have 1.5" segments went, don't
you?) and whipped ginger (which, if you don't want to peel it, can be
bought in a tube)."
Another side observation......what would teppan chefs do for a living if their moms had told them not to play with their food?

Did you ever cook this?

Yes I have.
And the tube of ginger (or powdered ginger that is easily made into a paste) works well.

So glad to hear you are making a so far good recovery. I wore one of those wound vacs for about 6 weeks; it's a wonderful new tech that helped save my ass.

I think he's a super-lucky guy.....but sleep-deprivation really puts a skew on someone's outlook.
When I turned 40, a dozen years ago, I resolved that I was going to change my healthcare for the better. I chose a primary-care doc that knew his ass from 3rd base, and he sent me off to a sleep specialist, where I was diagnosed with OSA. I stopped breathing several times an hour for more than 20 seconds, and my my blood oxygen level regularly dipped to levels that could be charged as "attempted murder" if caused by someone else. Not to mention the dain bramage. Not to mention the dain bramage.
But it's left me with a certain fragility regarding sleep, that creates a variety of alerts when spanning time zones.....or experiencing Daylight Wasting Time. I can normally settle in, but it makes me nervous.

I love fresh ginger. I make stri-frys and I always start with garlic/ginger/hot chili flakes. I also have a go-to 'flavor' for stir-frys which consists of juice and zest of one orange, garlic-chili sauce, low-sodium soy (Kikkoman!), sesame oil, maybe some teriyaki or oyster sauce and the key ingredient: A good thick hoi-sin sauce; the megamart brands are usually too thin and watery so best to go to a Chinese grocery and ask for help in locating it.
Now I don't know about 'whipped' ginger or 'tube' ginger, but fresh ginger is incredibly easy to use. The first thing one needs is one of those microplane zesters/graters. This is a must 'gadget' in the kitchen for me now; it also works on grating parmegianno reggiano and other hard cheeses, plus zesting citrus and grating ginger. They are a snap to clean as well, unlike those box graters which are a royal pain to clean.
Now to peel ginger the easy peasy way: Using a typical metal teaspoon, place your thumb on the bottom/rounded side of the spoon. Use it like a Roman strigil and scrape the ginger peel off. It works like a charm with little to no waste as with the spoon you can get into the hooks and crannies quite easily nor is there any waste as one gets from cutting the ginger peel off (and into a flat sided rectangle) and one never gets cut with the spoon. Once peeled, trim each end and do with it what you will. I mince it for stir-frys; I grate it for carrot-ginger soup; I slice it in big pieces for when I add it to sliced carrots with fresh ground toasted coriander and cumin seeds and beef broth (with the ginger pieces to be removed later).
Oh, and another must have in the kitchen is two coffee grinders. One is obviously for fresh coffee beans but the other is used for grinding whole spice seeds like coriander, cumin, mustard, allspice, mace and the like. I used to laugh at cooking shows and toasting/grinding one's seeds, but that second coffee grinder has been a huge boon to my cooking. It helps in making great curry powders and the like. I highly recommend a second coffee grinder. If you don't have one coffee grinder, ugh!, you either use preground coffee in a can or instant, neither of which gives me the happies in the morning.
Fresh ginger is the way to go. So are coffee beans; besides, they last longer (stored in fridge or freezer) and the fresher the grind the better the cup as the essential oils are retained until the last minute.
