The Obama administration will delay planned sanctions on Irans ballistic missile program, the Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday. Reports had emerged Wednesday that the Treasury Department would levy sanctions in the wake of Irans missile testing in October and November.
The administration has faced pressure to sanction Iran for its missile tests, with many arguing that if the country got away with the missile tests, it would embolden leaders to ignore the nuclear deal.

Didn't know about it until after I got married. Father-in-law was raised in Sheridan, WY but apparently at least one of *his* parents was raised in MO and had passed on the tradition. We eat them at the in-laws, but since we're home I had completely forgotten. Would have gone well with the steak last night if I'd thought of it.

Black eyed peas for luck on New Year's Day?
along with cabbage I guess ... for prosperity?
I like the black eyed pea as in "we Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch". That seems to be the choice we have now ... fight for liberty or just switch to PC Commie ... in the long run ... we're all dead. But we can leave something good behind maybe.
Dubai had fireworks to ring in the new year ... didn't get much coverage so far. Terror, or just a bunch of drunken Saudis that can't hold their liquor?

Meanwhile, on CNN's New Year Eve coverage -- and recall they're nominally a news network -- this:
Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper, two icons of the gay scene, oversaw festivities. They started off with a skit in which the two of them in bed, Griffin unwilling to change out of her comfort clothes.
Griffin then asked Cooper for his relationship hall pass,who he'd be allowed to cheat with. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was mentioned, followed by Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy.

We had several neighbor families over last night, the adults stayed up playing Cards Against Humanity while the kids climbed the walls. One 22-month-old went steadily through my house and got into absolutely everything.
The only thing that made it at all tolerable for me was the wife gave me leave to dig out some of my old video game consoles (Atari, NES, SNES) so I finally got to try out some of the cartridges I'd acquired since the last time I got them all out.

Now, I know there are lots of interpretations of pig in blankets. There's hot dogs baked in dough, cabbage stuffed with rice and sausage, and some others. This is Dad's, so I will presume it was a New Hampshire thing.
You slice the salt pork and rend out all the fat, leaving crisp bits of fried fat. You pour an egg batter into the hot fat and as it's cooking you drop the crisp bits into the batter.
Dad always served it with mashed potatoes and carrots. Apparently this tradition was important.
We only had it when Mom was out of town for a few days because she claimed to hate the smell of it all so much.

Barry isn't insane. He's a two bit shitster trying to con you out of your metrocard. He's the loudmouthed bum on the subway trying to guilt you out of a few bucks for the consequences of his actions. He's a third rate shitty urban bum who is only able to afford his suit because enough people were self loathing enough to vote for him.

from a description
The object you want to print must first become a 3D model in Blender. The software we wrote as an add on to blender takes the data from that 3D model and translates it into an audio waveform
so, being linux ish... got me thinking if I could pipe in say Sympathy For The Devil and see what pops out...

But you shpuld definitely go see an eye doc.
A couple weeks ago my kid just started complaining that her eye hurt and felt like there was something in it. After a couple of days of no other symptoms but still feeling it we went and there was a tiny speck of something embedded in her cornea.
*shudder*
anyway eye doc took ot out with tweezers and gave her eye drops and she was fine in 12 hours.

Mostly a S'uthron thing. Milady, native Chicagoan, her first new years in Oklahoma, was asked if we were having black-eye peas for luck for New Year's Day. She'd never heard of it. I don't think my mom was big on it. But Milady picked up on it immediately, and her delicious recipe is our annual tradition.

Authorities have blocked off Ibn Gabirol and Arlozorov Streets to traffic. Residents who live in these areas are escorted to their homes by police.
In new closed-circuit footage that has emerged in recent hours, the suspect is seen calmly buying vegetables in a store adjacent to the bar that was the primary recipient of a hail of bullets fired from what appears to be a semiautomatic rifle.
The clip shows the suspect, a bespectacled man dressed in black with a backpack who appears no older than 30, purchasing vegetables in a nutritional supplement shop just near a bar.
The gunman is seen calmly putting back the vegetables he picked out, opening his backpack, and then producing a semiautomatic rifle. He then begins to fire indiscriminately.
The footage seems to complement an earlier clip shot from inside a nearby bar, where patrons are seen hurriedly scrambling while the gunman can be discerned outside while emptying his magazine.

It's set in the Depression with Marvin as a hobo rail-rider and Borgnine as the brutal conductor who just is not having that.

Good riddance 1943, it's finally 1944!!
Jan 1, 1944 - The EZ Dog Diaries
1944 blew in with high wind and the first snow of the winter. Cold. Little action. All the Bn Cos came to Brig 1500 for a bit of New Year cheer.
I think he means all the battalion commanding officers (C.O.s), but am not sure.
I'm also hoping Dad was at brigade HQ rather than in the "brig" for some unnamed New Year's Eve indiscretion.
As 1944 opens, the Allies are continuing their slow advance up the Liri Valley and largely stymied all along the Gustav Line. Pressure is mounting for an amphibious landing further up the coast, to put pressure on the German right flank and threaten cutting of supply routes from the north. Winston Churchill is a big advocate of this plan- Operation Shingle.

I dunno. Based on his later "musical" (and photographic) adventures, he probably thought she was charming, witty, and a great singer.
My theory is that the John Lennon who was in the Beatles was kidnapped by aliens and replaced with a soulless pod person sometime around 1969. Paul and George knew it wasn't the real John, but they went along to keep the gravy train rolling.

At 11:00 PST, the annual Gnaked Gnew Years Gnome Run takes place on World of Warcraft! Each year, my buddies and brothers and I put on a loony gnome event wherein we create level 1 gnomes, cast aside all our gear, and run through implausible and deadly zones to a distant land leaping about and acting goofy.
In past years, we've run through Northrend, we've run through Outlands, and this year we're going back to the original runs of the event: Gnomeregan south through Stranglethorn Vale, on a ship over to Ratchet, and north, finally ending up in one of those great big hot tubs in Darnassus in some temple or other!
The server we're running on is "Sentinels" and we'll have a guild built and tabards to hand out. Come join the fun!

There is. I made sure my kids were exposed to music from many decades. Now they're just as likely to listen to something from the 50s or 60s as more contemporary stuff.
Also, the radio station I work for plays classic hits mainly from the 70s and 80s. It always surprises me how many people in their 20s and 30s say they listen to us.

Sub... again using the US Military as a prop...fuckin cock sucking POS

Barky cracks jokes like this, while the commanders of the actual submarine force have been consistently reporting that the USN does not have enough hulls in service even to cover all of their requested peacetime missions, much less in a shooting war, and the gap in deployable capability widens steadily every year until the end of the 2020 decade.
While we're joking here about eating black-eyed peas, this administration has eaten the seed corn.

He just wanted to play old blues songs, and when Jagger and Richards started writing songs he thought they were going commercial and didn't want to do that.
According to the book, Jones and pianist Ian Stewart formed the band. Their manager made Stewart quit because of his looks, though he stayed with them as a sideman until his death.

Pretty much anything on the radio. Though I did used to listen to quite a lot of WFMU. They call themselves freeform radio, and boy do they ever mean it. A buddy of mine used to listen to 'em when he lived in NYC, and says that one day the DJ thought it would be a good idea to read the phone book. So he did. For three hours.

Apparently here you're supposed to eat lentils, because they're shaped like coins, but neither of us like them so we're having some round pastas filled with mushrooms.
I'm not sure if we're supposed to eat the marzipan toadstools and "good luck pigs" or if they're like American crappy fruitcake and we just pass them back and forth for years. They're cute, though.

The Dalrymple quote, in full:
"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of
communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate;
and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced
to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when
they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense
of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself.
One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of
emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness,
it has the same effect and is intended to."

Basically, yeah. Its poor folks picking the green leafy stuff off plants such as collards, and boiling them with lard or bacon, onions, etc. But they are really, really good.

Some lineup changes, though. Malcolm Young is in a nursing home due to senile dementia, & their drummer (Rudd) is serving a one-year sentence of home confinement in New Zealand for solicitation of murder.

Public radio stations play the WGBH Boston feed (pre-NPR) of Vienna at 11 AM every New Years Day. I never watched the TV because (1)Cronkite and (2) the many voices of the translations are so effing cool.
And the greeting, at the end, to "All good friends of Austria everywhere." Followed by the Radetsky, what in Yerp is called a cavalry march and the US a circus march, a march written for horses, with the sound of hobnails on cobblestones. A mild and friendly...threat. The Caliph thought he could take Vienna. The Caliph was wrong.

Milady replies, well, there's always the quick-soak method: Bring the peas and water to a boil, boil for about two minutes, cover tightly, turn off heat, and let soak for an hour.
FYI for those of y'all who forgot to set 'em to soak overnight.
