Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (8/16/16) [Mis. Hum.]
Ever wonder what happens to the Olympic venues of the past? Looks like a waste of time, effort and money. Just imagine if Oprah and TFG had secured Chicago Olympics.
Watching the prime time coverage of they Olympics has been challenging. It seems you get more TMZ/Inside Edition type coverage than the actual sport itself. Aren't you more interested in records than how many miles they walked uphill both ways to & from school?
Funny how a pizzeria in Indiana and a County Clerk in KY caused a national ruckus about their views of homosexuality. They didn't hurt anyone, they didn't out anyone. Yet, a "reporter" from the leftist Daily Beast can out gay athletes and it's hush-hush. Progressive=Hypocritical Sanctimonious Scum Bag. An Olympic feel good story Sounds like a perfect job for that little prick Bob Costas. Imagine re-living this moment, over and over and over and over in your head.
Have you noticed anything peculiar at the games this summer? If you have noticed weird tape here's the skinny on it.
Who is playing tomorrow night's Power Ball? If you win, do you know how much it will cost you to hire one of your favorite bands? Zombie bands/musicians are not included. You have to figure that out on your own.
Today (August 16th) is National Rum Day. You still have time for a Rum & Your choice of mixer. Just a suggestion. Stay away from the 151 Rum and Mt. Dew.
Did you know that the Sugar Act of 1764, which was a tax on sugar, molasses and rum by the British on the American colonies, helped start the unrest that finally became the American Revolution.Since we are still in the history portion of our ONT, what happened on this day in 1977? Hint? The King is dead, long live the King!
Man causes global warming. Man causes global cooling. Man causes over population. When will man be blamed for this? We have some Aussies who hang here. I'm sure us Morons would love to hear from you on this.
Over the past 6 weeks The News Dump and Ace himself have been covering the failure of the Obamacare Exchanges. The failures are in the double digits. The surviving Exchanges are seeking incredible rate increases. So what is the next step? Surely "our betters" in D.C. will not repeal it. So what does that leave? Single Payer? Oh boy, this should work out well The U.K. has single payer. So it's surgery you have to wait for, surely you won't have to wait for basic prescription medications? When people point out that Single Payer is the answer refer them to the U.K.'s system and their failures. Perhaps we should fault the American Health Insurance Industry for getting into bed with Obama. They jumped on board the Obamacare train with $$$$$ signs in their eyes. My sympathy meter for Aetna among others is broken.
You know, for the kids. Have an ONT tip or some loose change? You can send it here.
Tonight's ONT Brought To You By Advice.

You're not alone; Deborah is the same way with me. I had to buy a single-cup headphone because if I'm online and don't hear her call me, she freaks out.
If I could, I'd request a few moments' well-wishes for my sister Kim, who went into the hospital today for a heart attack. Barring complications, she'll come Thursday, so let's give those complications some stink-eye.

Wow, Jewells, I read last night's ONT after everything had quieted down. What a thing to have dropped on you out of the blue. Great sympathies.
There are various alerting devices that people can wear on their persons. It might be a wise thing to pick one up. In a similar situation, I recall someone simply sending a text message to their spouse every half hour as a "heartbeat" to indicate that they were okay.
Also time to examine his overall regimen of diet and nutrition. Add good habits and subtract any bad ones.

Louisiana continues to flood the floods have nothing whatsoever to do
with Dear Leader."
Bush, in keeping with family tradition, completely bungled the optics and played into the hands of an endemically hostile press corps.
Bush let himself be photographed staring pensively out the window of AF1 while flying over the city. The captions just wrote themselves. Out of touch at twenty thousand feet! Airhead in the air!
Bush then stopped on the airport tarmac in the early hours of the crisis, while the press busily beat the drums of "arrogant, incompetent oaf of office", to ceremonially present John McInsane with _a birthday cake_. Of all the damned things.
While FEMA was making its normal Big Government botch of things, in an extremely obvious way, Bush then, instead of saying he would get to the bottom of any lapses, went on to be vocally self-congratulatory about the performance of his FEMA director. ("Heckuva job, Brownie!")
It was all rather Trumpesque. A long series of unforced errors and utterly tin-eared public statements. Which were immediately pounced upon by the media and spun for maximal damaging effect.

He will be on a low cholesterol, low salt, low sugar diet. In other

again. He is pre diabetic as well as having BP problems. A triple
fucking whammy. He showed NO symptoms of stroke Saturday night. Not any
of the classic signs. If we had only known...
Somehow, I suspect he'd do better on the Moron LCHF/IF. Dietary cholesterol as a risk factor is petty close to completely blown.

It's interesting to watch him from different timeframes. That one (didn't see the date), you could see he was on the 'scrips at the time, by his eyes, though he hadn't gained the weight yet. I'll guess around '73-ish (nope, looked it up, it was '70). Still a very handsome man, despite the '70s porkchops, shaggy hair, jumpsuit, etc. Those cheekbones, that smile, that head of hair (been drinking, probably not the gayest I'll sound all night!). Pretty eyes, so sad to see the light gone from them, even at this stage.

I think that, if the drugs, et al., hadn't done him in, Elvis could have had as long a career as Sinatra. I still consider him one of the great voices of the 20th century, and I think, like Sinatra, he'll have fans for decades to come. My 20-something daughter listens to hard rock bands that I can't stand...but she absolutely loves Elvis, too.

Elam makes some good points IMHO about why therapy isn't appealing to men, namely that the experience has become almost entirely feminized, and that if we want men to actually seek psychotherapy, the experience needs to be adapted to what men want and need, rather than an attempt to feminize them:

single-cup headphone because if I'm online and don't hear her call me,
she freaks out.
That sounds familiar. After all this business with dad started I stopped using earplugs when I sleep (I'm a bit noise-sensitive), I don't wear headphones until after he goes to sleep, I don't keep my door closed...
And I still yank my headphones off occasionally to make sure I didn't just hear him calling out. I hear false alarms every so often. It's not so bad as it was when it started when I would wake straight up from a dream thinking he'd called out...him having fallen and been down four hours before I woke up, it did a number on me. I'm still not past it entirely I think.

My hip implant is fine and dandy -- not ferromagnetic at all. When the vary the field with time, it will induce current in all conductors in the body, and there's some heat tolerance thing.
Depending on various factors, some metal implants could get very hot, too hot for comfort in the body.
There will be strong forces on ferrous objects, like ripping them out of your body.

I do my best to keep an earworm or two from Elvis in my kids, and an occasional song pops up on my playlist when set to random.
I agree, he really, truly was a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Even, what was it, his last album...Moody Blue?...was pretty good, though not to my liking as much as his 60s-era stuff. He definitely could have kept going.
My dad really liked his gospel albums (I didn't so much, though, but he really threw himself into it, and it showed, so I appreciated that aspect).
I really like this '72 press conference he gave in NY. At around 5:00, he's asked about his opinion on "the war" and his answer was just great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZoIPSbKciU
There's another question, I thought it was at this press conference (but I couldn't find it) where somebody asked if Priscilla would be joining him, and he answered "No she won't". The look on his face was pure pain. It was very sad.

Heart disease is caused by poor diet and lifestyle. Boredom is caused by poor life choices. Using Meth may fix boredom but will end, er, badly. Statins may (MAY) prevent heart disease but has not been shown to prolong life and it probably kills people in other ways.
So people at risk for heart didease should simply change their diet and lifestyle.

Short answer, wen the hydrogen atoms are exposed to the intense magnetic field of the MRI, the align with that field. When the magnet is switched off, the go back to their former alignment. Some energy (I don't remember if it's magnetic signature or electrical) is given up by the hydrogen atoms when snapping back to their original orientation, and that's what is detected and the image is created from.
That's from memory, so details may be a bit off.

Classy.
But for instance, you could have a favorable cholesterol profile with high hdl and primarily low density ldl particles but have a c- reactive protein test that reveals very high inflamation. With high inflamation on a cellular level whatever amount of high density ldl particles you do make will try to heal that inflamation causing blockages. So the statins wouldn't help much if at all because it wouldn't be doing much for the real problem, which is the inflamation, not the cholesterol.

Hypothetically, if I were a Black man. taken by other Blacks in Africa, sold to slavers, and eventually ending up enslaved in America, I would also bear a grudge towards all those involved in my enslavement. But, practically, I would be much more likely to have an opportunity to get some payback against my current White masters in America rather than the Blacks who took me in Africa. However, given the opportunity, I would love a chance to get them too.

Everyone always obsesses on the Fall of the Roman Empire, but it was the Fall of the Republic that is more akin to the situation we are facing today. A wealthy elite above the law, serious citizenship issues, middle class being squeezed, a growing dependent population doing no work, street gangs rioting, etc...
Now all we need is some renegade general promising his angry legions to throw the Senators and "Men of Quality" off the cliff.

If you want a professional grade solution, Sporicidin. You might have to do some digging to find the stuff. Never seen it sold at retail. It's more of an institutional product.
It has a phenomenal amount of phenol in it. You will want to be careful with ventilation. Keep potentially sensitive individuals (and animals, cats mainly) away until it's all evaporated.

Slavery was a world wide norm until the nineteenth Century. The British Empire (which during the 18th century was a major slave trading power) decided to end the trade and used their navy and imperial conquests to stop it.
For example the Ashanti tribe fought the British in a cluster of wars from 1823-1900. The original cause was the British telling the Ashanti they could no longer deal in slaves. In fact the arguments for war used by the Ashanti were the same as the White South. It was the heart of their economy, their customs, and they were worried the British would conquer them if weakened by the loss of the slave economy, which the British did in the end.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Ashanti_wars
If you look at slavery world wide it is only when the British conquer half the world did the slave trade dry up. Most civilizations from the beginning of recorded history had slaves. That is what did to people who were your enemies, or needed cheap labor...

I am fully aware. It has also been the norm for slaves to resist, fight back, and kill their masters, if and when they thought they could succeed or when they were willing to die to end their enslavement.
War has gone on since as long as there have been people. But, the thing is, most people recognize that when one set of people makes war on another set of people, they will fight back. And it is perfectly moral for them to do so.

Actually, it is protons, especially un-paired protons, that do the resonating. Not iron, per se. Mostly hydrogen nuclei, which are protons. Turn on a strong magnetic field, all the unpaired protons turn their spin direction to align with it. Switch off the field, and they slowly (for some values of "slow") re-align to the magnetic field of the Earth. As they do so, like little gyroscopes, they precess, and in so doing, emit a radio-frequency signal in the HF range. And the frequency of this signal is characteristic of the type of bond the atom which contains the proton is part of.
Shoddy explanation, I know.

The standard Beetle is by far the better car, IMHO. The Super Beetle was a sop to "modernity" in the form of MacPherson struts for the front end, instead of VW's famous "flying bedstead" torsion bar axle. All for the sake of a few cubic feet of trunk space up front.
I'm doing this car because I have it. Had I known form the outset how rusty it was, I'd have probably scrapped it out, but I'm past the point of no return, now, with respect to "labor invested" vs "labor yet to do".
My goal is just to get it roadworthy, licensed, and insured, and use it as a cheap alternative to the Suburbans, when all that is required is to get me and the pooch to town and back. It does run quite well, and even looks sort of good.

This "splits" the energy states of the nuclei. Those with the z-component aligned with the field are lower energy than the ones in anti-alignment. They can flip states by absorbing or emitting photons. This is what the signal in NMRI is.
These precessing nuclei will get in "thermal state" and equilbrium with the surrounding lattice and other modes. This is known as relaxation, and there's some business known as T1 and T2 modes, which are important for the imagining.
Anyway, you excite them with a pulse of photons, which happens to be in the RF range, and you put a bunch of the nuclei in the excited spin state relative to the external field.
As they decay back to the thermal state, they radiate, and this is what's used to get the image data.

For my money, Sean Connery is "the" cinematic James Bond. Mainly because he was the first, and set the standard, but also because he fit, fairly well, the physical description of Bond in the novels.
Moore, who is a classy actor in his own right, camped it up, as indeed, the producers of the films did.
I tend to regard "James Bond" as a title, or job description, more so than a personal name.

molasses and rum by the British on the American colonies, helped start
the unrest that finally became the American Revolution.
Yes, that tax and all the other taxes that you hear about on tea, publications, decrees etc were highly unpopular and helped stir the revolution. But the colonists were not opposed to the taxes per se. After all they knew the taxes were to help pay for the French and Indian war which was to help them. They were opposed to these taxes because they had to be paid with gold and due to other Britixh laws passed that limited trade to British companies who refused to pay in gold and only allowed "barter" there was almost no gold available in the colonies.
This resulted in colony lands and property being confiscated and auctioned off to pay the taxes. And incredibly, after the revolition the powerful interests in NE got similar taxes passed which fell hardest on settlers in the territories in the name of the abominable whiskey tax. PA settlers instead of hauling their corn over the mountains to sell in the coastal regions made whiskey which was much easier to ship than bulk corn. So the tax fell on them. This sparked the "whiskey rebellion" which George Washington was recalled to put down. Ironically he was also one who was hit hard by that tax.

Everybody said that the Obamacare boondoggle would fail and even the Democrats knew that it would. They WANTED it to fail so they could use it as a launch for single payer.
But I can not fault the insurance companies. They were already paying for indigent health care through the failed system that was in place thanks to lawyers and liberals (BIRM). Indigent patients were using the ER as normal healthcare. Those costs were born by the insurance companies because the cost of ER treatment was jacked through the roof for people with insurance.
And please note, Obamcare failed to address to real reason for runaway health costs in the US. It only transferred the costs to insurance companies and the government. IOW the taxpayers once again got to eat a commie turd.

If he is talking about the Nat Turner slave rebellion that is exactly what happened. Some historians put the white death toll as up to 80 people. The black death toll was far more numbering in the hundreds, not all of them followers of Nat Turner. It also resulted in much stricter controls on slaves. One must also factor in that some States actually had a higher slave population than they had a white population.
If he had successfully got ALL the slaves in on his rebellion he would have decimated the whites in the South.

Also, before the 16th amendment legalized an income tax, the tax on whiskey was one of the major sources of income for the federal government. Prohibition would not have been possible without the 16th amendment. One of the reasons that FDR was so in favor of repealing Prohibition was to turn on that stream of income again.

At this time the other major source of federal taxes was the incoming and outgoing tariff system which hit the South much harder than anyone. That almost resulted in session log before the unCivil War. And it was a major contributor to the South's session.

The MSM, with the 24/7 beatings of Donald Trump have made it socially unacceptable to be an openly (what's a good word) person who would prefer to vote for Trump over Hillary. So, the get a phone call from a pollster, who knows who they are, they have been lying. Not everyone, but enough to make the polls worthless or worth less.
Zogby claims he is using anonymity. So it should negate the social unacceptability variable.
I always read recently of an app developer who allows anonymous voting in said app and Trump was in the high 50's.

She is responsible for the race riots in Milwaukee in much the same way that she and Obama are "founders of ISIS". She created the environment in which it was pretty much inevitable. Encouraging racial animosity in order to boost black voter turn out is now a standard part of Democrat election year strategy. Race riots and dead cops are just collateral damage but Democrats view the price as entirely worth it because it helps them win elections.

But the most important reason was that the overwhelming majority of the public was against it AND contrary to popular myth, they were never for it to begin with. prohibition had long been pushed by the women's temperance movement who virtually owned the State legislatures.
If you look at how it was repealed there is a telling item on this. The amendment for prohibition was ratified by the State legislatures like almost all such amendments. The amendment to repeal prohibition bypassed the State Legislatures which were still owned by the temperance league and went straight to the citizens.

While it was the Women's Christian Temperance Union that was the face of the movement, the Anti Saloon League was the group that had the effective tactic of evaluating legislators only on their support for or opposition to prohibition and then getting their members and supporters to vote on that single issue. It was an effective strategy that has been adopted by the NRA. It is not so much that the legislators were corrupt, it is that they were scared and with good reason. The Anti Saloon League ended quite a few political careers.
By the way, repeal of Prohibition was one of Father Caughlin's main talking points on his radio program. I know how the standard version FDR fanboi historians describe Father Caughlin but I wonder if he was more of a 1930s version of Glen Beck.

It is not just the long term Democrat project of destroying black families, keeping blacks in crappy schools so that they cannot escape and leaving black predators loose to prey on black people in order to maintain a large and dependable voting block that leads to race riots. That just provides the fuel and tinder. There is the fact that every election year, Democrats pour gasoline on the pile they have created when the Democrat propagandists of the mainstream media gin up the myth that blacks are being targeted for violence by whites in general and Republicans in particular.
The vast amount of media coverage for Trayvon Martin, Ferguson and the "Black Lives Matter" campaign did not just happen. They were part of a coordinated media strategy that is performed every election year.

The early days of the FDR administration included such gems as the movie "Gabriel Over the White House" which you should definitely watch if you have not seen it. The movie is a love letter to FDR and it is unabashedly in favor of Fascism.
I wonder about the similarity between Caughlin and Beck more in terms of a kind of fringe media guy who became very popular very quickly and then either went nuts or was already nuts and as he got more exposure the crazy became more apparent.

Yeah he was a big FDR fanboy in the early 30s but turned against him. He wanted more commie gov and more Joo hate. Not to mention supporting Hitler.
I have a couple of books about FDR's failed government and one of them has a lot of stuff in it about Father Coughlin.

Maybe Elvis was just having a bad night when that video was recorded. I think so, but it goes way beyond that.
By the time Elvis first recorded Suspicious Minds, he had personally deteriorated to a sad shadow of his old self. His voice still had it if you just listened to the audio, but seeing him visually reduced the performance to a sad Las Vegas wake.

Well, now that there is a cadre of Black Lives Matter agitators who have to justify their paychecks to George Soros and who need to eat all the time, not just during election years, there is a certain year round aspect to the race hate agitation but the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown media campaigns were done the summer before an election. I think that this summer the media are facing the more difficult challenge of trying to keep black voters angry enough to show up at the polls in November while not alienating all the white voters. The fact that the media created Black Lives Matter movement has taken on a life of its own makes this more difficult.

I predict very soon. They see Obama leaving and the fake recovery will be exposed. Especially if Trump gets elected. Transfer your stock to Duke Energy (DUK). It will hold up during a collapse or recover almost immediately. It pays a 5% return, is safe as hell, and is now the largest utility in the country.

.He had his father's personal aide Tim Longmeyer working for him shortly before he got voted in as AG and had to drop him due to criminal charges. That aide has plea bargained down some serious corruption and kick back schemes, now he only faces a max of 10 years. Both him and his father claim they knew nothing about what he was doing.
The new Governor Bevin has hired an outside Attorney's office to investigate the former Governor for corruption because he can't trust the State's AG who is Beshears son to investigate anything.
It's a mess and the feud is covered almost daily in the papers.

FDR's reign was the beginning of the end for the US. Dad was a big FDR
fan. Roosevelt was gonna take care of the little guy with Social
Security, Dad told me. Then he explained how it worked. I, a precocious
little bitch, said, "But Daddy...that's a pyramid scheme." He admitted
it was, but swore it would work anyway. I loved him dearly but he had
blinders on where FDR was concerned. Like millions of others.
Idol-worship is not new in the political arena.

I would say it began with W. J. Bryant's cross of gold and the "progressive era". But it accelerated wildly under FDR. LBJ completed it in 1965.
And I have an elderly uncle, who like a lot of elderly Southern people is a huge FDR fan boy.

Overall Wall Street as a whole has not reflected reality for a long long time. It is being driven by large stock pool investors like insurance companies and local governments. However, they like high profit "churning" which you can not engage in that with large utility stocks or most other blue chips. As for political slant, most rich people actually like Democrats and vote for them.
And even if the sale price of DUK were to take a short term hit you would still be getting the same dividend checks.

That is why, within the swelling field offices Hillary Clinton's campaign has spread across battleground states, there is uncommon enthusiasm for a new homegrown software product called Megaphone, which permits the deceptively straightforward task of managing individual conversations with supporters by text message and e-mail."It blurs the line between digital and grassroots field," said Jeremy Bird, who served as national field director of President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign and is now an outside adviser to Clinton's. "It uses text messages the way you would use the phone or a door knock."

Wall St. has contributed a ton of money to Hillary. She is exactly what they want, a politician that will say bad things about them in public while doing their bidding in private.
Remember, this is the woman who said hedge fund managers needed to be reined in while ignoring that her son in law is an absurdly bad hedge fund manager.

First of the shouty talking heads shows. McLaughlin realized that the public would rather watch him screaming "wrong!" at someone rather than trying to make logical points.
I have no doubt the msm was in the tank for JFK in 1960, but if you watch the presidential debates or "Meet the Press" from that era, you're stuck by how adult everyone on that stage behaves. Nobody is screaming and shouting each other down. McLaughlin bears some of the blame for how trivial and childish our public discourse now is.

Stock prices have nothing to do with what investors WANT to happen. The price money grubbing investors will buy or sell stock is ony based on what they EXPECT to happen.
The near zero interest rates of Obama's long national nightmare of "quantitative easing" drive stock prices higher than they would otherwise be for the same level of profits. But whatever that effect, stock prices reflect the expectation that Crooked Hillary will succeed Barack as our Dear Leader, which everyone except the hardcore Trumpsters recognizes as reality.
Recognizing the sad near-inevitability of a Hillary win ... That likely includes many like me who know Donald is an a-hole, but still would probably be a little less disastrous for America than Hillary.
