Overnight Open Thread (13 Aug 2016)
Arms Dealing
CIA annex in Benghazi shipped arms from Libya to Syria; Clinton lied about it. OK, let's suppose that airtight proof comes up that Hillary was directly involved and had direct knowledge and/or directed said arms transactions. Does anything think that the Republicans have the balls to do anything about it that is meaningful? Hollywood War Movies Heh. 56 movie mistakes: The Longest Day. GPS Jammers It's too easy and cheap to do. GPS under attack as crooks, rogue workers wage electronic war. Livestock Auctioneer RappersNot only do intellectuals refuse to abandon politically correct beliefs in the face of contradictory evidence, but simply questioning them can ruin a person's career. Lawrence Summers' tenure as president of Harvard was cut short because he suggested that there are intellectual differences between men and women. As a result of such punitive pushback, some researchers are afraid to investigate differences between male and female brains, which certainly exist. Without a doubt, this reticence is holding back the field of neuroscience. A similar chilling effect can be seen in climatology. The only politically correct belief regarding the climate is that humans are 100% responsible for everything bad that happens and that the Four Horsemen are already marching toward Earth. Questioning that apocalyptic and unscientific belief has resulted in multiple researchers being labeled "climate deniers." Climatology would greatly benefit from the more skeptical approach of so-called "lukewarmers," but far too many are ostracized and demonized.Volleyball Scott Sterling is back and this time, he's playing volleyball.

The idea is to generate some excitement. Auctioneers selling cars and other goods do it, too. If you are there to buy, you just raise your hand (or your bidder's card) to indicate that you agree to the current price quoted. If you are involved as a buyer or seller, the patter is not that hard to follow.

I'm getting so old I really only have clear memories of my senior year. It involved getting to school early and cruising our little tiny town and drinking. Then off to welding class and sneaking in a jug for the boys. ( I did end up wiping the floor grade wise tho) then it was home ec and then drivers Ed. ( I was sober by then) I would ask my instructer if we could go to the next town where my boyfriend was. Of course we could!! I had all credits done by jr year so Senior yr was just plain fun

Run that quote, four times in sequence. Each with a fade in and fade out, of the Benghazi Four, one at a time.
But precede it with the clip of her saying Trump isn't fit to serve. Then play that "came, saw, died" sequence.

I listened to the video. I heard numbers, most of the time. I haven't gone to stock auctions, but I have gone to enough car auctions and farm auctions (many of which are run by the same guys as do the livestock sales). So I guess I have a bit of an ear for it. That video is showing clips of the guys in peak spiel. And some were wearing badges that said "contestant". So I think we were watching excerpts from an auctioneering contest. Usually when selling an item, they will start out sort of slow, until they get the first bid, and then the spiel ramps up to entice other bidders into the fray.
In some instances, say with a "mystery box" of tools at a farm sale, they will start the bidding too high, and have to come down: "Now here's a fine box of tools from Alec's shop here...lotta good stuff in it...do I hear ten dollars?. (silence from crowd)...alright, then, do I hear five dollars? (silence from crowd)...OK, let's start 'er at a dollar...do I hear ONE dollar?...right!...Mike from the Huxley colony raises his hand....there's a man who knows a bargain...Now I got one dollar, do I hear two dollars....?"
And so on. Point is, if you are there, and interested in the item up for bid, and been following it from the git-go, it's easy to follow the spiel.

Try going to an actual auction. Estate auction, or farm auction, going-out-of business auction. Most towns have one or more auction houses where furniture, antiques, and odd lots get sold one or two days or evenings a week. Auctions are fun to attend, sort of a carnival atmosphere. They can be quite the social event in a small town. Generally these days, in order to bid, you have to register as a bidder, and are given a card with a number on it, and to bid, you raise the card. The auctioneer will have several helpers working the crowd, and once you have been identified as an active bidder (by raising the card), the helper will keep an eye on you, and the other active bidders, and further increases in your bid can often be made by just a nod to the helper. If you want to drop out, an emphatic "no" gesture is a good idea.
I'll repeat it: auctions can be a lot of fun, if the goods being sold are of some general interest to you, or its a local sale in your own community. Attend a few, and pay attention, and you will soon find the auctioneer's spiel begins to be comprehensible.

Exact same coat and shape and gait of our Belgian sheepdog beauty when she was about sixteen weeks. Dye that little coyote black, and she'd be our Lulu.
God, we miss her.
The coyote chorus three nights ago, just before full dark, was a wild one. Three groups, maybe four, spread all along the brook valley, were competing to see who could do the wildest screams, yells, howls, and barks. Seeing this pup tonight made me think the chorus must have included a bunch of young ones.

It started out as innocent experimentation about the capabilities of the blog. If you used [you], for instance, the reader would find his own nic in that part of the sentence -- so, if you said, "....the real source of the problem, of course, is [you], the asshole." -- you could personally insult everyone on the blog by nic.
Then there was writing in colors -- you could quote someone in red and reply in green. You could do writing that was white-on-white and only showed up when highlighted (like the hints on the chess thread). Then, someone figured out how to make text [flashing][/flashing]. Gradually, the ONT was turning into an LSD trip.
And then it stopped.....and when we woke up the next morning, it was like pulling teeth to even get an ampersand -- and when you quoted anything interesting, it was full of black diamonds.

Yeah, I was dumb enough to go home for my 30th. 2 of the Super cool kids rode with me back to our hotel, and said "I can't believe I'm riding in a car with MWNP!." Just like that.
I pulled over and said "not any more you're not." Onto the side of the road with bewildered expressions they went. I hope they had to blow someone to get home.

Might want to get your thyroid checked too especially if your skin is dry, you feel cold, depression, and brittle nails. I had all of those and the doctor has been monitoring my thyroid levels for the last few years, and last fall put me on thyroid hormone pills.
While hypothyroidism is largely diagnosed in women, men get it too.
Male, 50, got diagnosed and treated early, so I shouldn't have any complications.

If you used [you], for instance, the reader would find his own nic in that part of the sentence -- so, if you said, "....the real source of the problem, of course, is [you], the asshole." -- you could personally insult everyone on the blog by nic.
Then there was writing in colors -- you could quote someone in red and reply in green.

Rode an '83 Aspencade virtually nonstop, San Antonio, to San Diego for the event. A nap on a picnic bench in Deming, NM, and another under a shade tree in Yuma, AZ.
It was 117 degrees when I stopped in Gila Bend, AZ. I quite literally took a gas-station water-hose at the pump island, and ran it over my head for a good five minutes, which I'm convinced, saved me from the oncoming heat stroke.
While in San Diego for the reunion, I lodged aboard a friend's 27 ft. Reinell sloop for my "hotel"., only about 1/2 mi. from the reunion venue on Harbor Island.
Rode the bike to the venue, and parked it out front under the porte-cochere at the hotel, (and it was fully, dazzlingly detailed, shined, armor-all'd), strolled in wearing fine attire, a zillion dollar tan (crossing a series of Western deserts on a bike will do that for ya), and had a good enough time, all in all.
Got some quality offers to help rock the boat, but alas, was married at the time, and had to decline.
Wife flew to my aunt's place a hundred miles North, a few days later. Her work precluded her being there for the reunion it'self.
So, I rode up to Buena Park, collected her there, and made the ride back to San Antonio, via a day's scenic touring of San Diego County.
Haven't been to a reunion, since. Even though they send me stuff, I've never worked up the interest nor afforded the expense.
Of course, being a Navy brat, I went to nine different elementary schools.... so, I'm not hard-wired to have deeply socialized through my High School days.
Happy Dayz, they wasn't. Didn't suck, but wasn't sweet. Just something to endure and from which to proceed.

What's also weird: when I see/hear other people do dark comedy, sometimes I find it a bit disturbing. But when *I* come up with stuff even darker, I can almost always laugh it off.
I once wrote a comedy sketch of me crashing a party held by a woman who didn't like me, and at the end of the sketch I end up being carted out the door by the police with a sheet over my body... and an, er, 'protrusion' sticking up and out that sure looks a lot like a huge knife. Well, I showed this sketch I had written to a counselor of mine... and she couldn't believe I thought it was funny. I tried to explain just the above to her, but it didn't quite take to her. Oh well.

According to my family, Hillary is sleazy and not a good candidate - but Trump is nuts and like Hitler. They believe every damn thing the msm tells them.
I thought for a minute "I don't like these people very much. They are political idiots." Then I felt ashamed because they had thrown me a party and given me some nice presents. I love them. But I was happy when the subject moved away from politics.
My ex-bil was there (big Dem) and his cousin showed up (was a NYC cop for 25 years and loves Trump). She shouted at us to stop talking politics and we did, because although she is originally from here, 25 years of working the Manhattan beat has given her a certain - assertiveness that shuts up midwesterners. I felt grateful to her. She pulled me aside later and said, "I doubt there's a cop in America who is going to vote for that stinking bitch."

It's not so much the grudges, which are against the bitch teachers anyway. It's that the experience was miserable for me and I don't want to revisit it.

But seriously, I hope you can overcome whatever is troubling you, and are able to realize your dreams.

"I had so many worries about my flop sweat dysfunction until my doctor recommended Supercalifragilistimab. And now let's hear it for the prop director who stuck me in this cool canoe!!" :-P

Several years ago I was extremely ill. After a number of days, the recovery began. As it proceeded, came the realization that I had lost the 'spark' of motivation. Totally gone. Not just the motivation to walk across the room, even to sit upright, nor to flex a finger. Moving my eyeballs was beyond me. Laying there, the thought came that, though I felt dead, I was still alive. Therefore, I must act as if alive, and 'acting' it would be. An attitudinal adjustment would not be sufficient, it would need to be pure will. Willed myself to move. Every move required tremendous will. Will turned out to work like a muscle--the more it is used, the larger and stronger it becomes. After weeks, months, and years the ability to accomplish things became greater.
Now in my seventies, I own a business and work sixty plus hours a week. There is still no 'spark,' but I look at what needs to be done and do it. Like Rush Limbaugh says "It is what it is." Knowing where I came from to where I am now keeps me content.
This may not apply to your case, but you asked for responses. Good Luck.

Last time I talked with my niece her oldest daughter had set a neighbor's combine on fire during grass seed harvest, and was irritated that she no longer had a job. Now my niece is a grandmother.
I am also vowing to enter the local canning competition and enter a loaf of bread in the baking competition.

Thanks, I hadn't heard about that. Things are quiet on my side of town.
The North Side of Milwaukee is a pit and the Sherman Park neighborhood is a tragedy. During my childhood it was a nice middle class neighborhood with some lovely old homes. The ghetto took over in the '70's and '80's and now those lovely old homes look like shit.

Politics with most of my family these days is a non-thing. During the primaries, my Mom wanted Trump. I said I was for Cruz. She didn't like Cruz. So we voted. My wife comes home and said she voted for Kasich. Not a single hard feeling among the three of us.

From the link:
*Nefataria Gordon said she knew the man who had been killed by the officer. "He was a nice good person. He was really respected. That's why everyone came out. They're angry."*
No, you stupid scrunt, he was not a "nice, good person" he was a thug who was running around with a stolen handgun.

Loving life! A little disappointed that there was no NoVaMoMe this year but I guess you can't have it all. The missus is keeping me pretty busy, painting and landscaping, but she's going back to work in a couple of weeks. It looks like my schedule is going to change as well. But the cars are running, the roof doesn't leak and I have potato chips that I'm keeping from the dog.
So, it could be a lot worse.And beer. I have beer. Life is good.

And the fvcking annoying whiny, shit ass, atonal, repetitive, incomprehensible wail that's trying to pass as a song for the ad? Whutizzit?
The only thing that could improve that ad is another fifteen seconds of footage, with the occupied Volvo being the centerpiece of a Predator drone strike.

I'm watching so little news (thanks to disgust) that when my bil started talking about an October surprise re the Clinton Foundation or Julian Assange the other day, it was like the German I studied in high school.

I ought to have better sense than to tell this, but I'm getting old and like all of 'em, I love to talk about all my ailments. My testosterone was low enough that clinical intervention was medically warranted -- meaning the insurance has to pay for it. (300 ng/dl or whatever the units are is the threshold).
My doctor decided to test it, saying he could tell -- how, I asked. Well, you're looking a little sissy, he said (he didn't that word, but we don't want to be homophobic and all that). Actually, it's some of the drugs I take with this stupid arthritis can do that, and they had.
I really hadn't noticed anything. Things still worked. But after the shots, things improved. Didn't know how much I'd lost. But there are some strange little side effects in that function, the details of which I won't go into.

My older sister went to the same hs I did and loved it- her class was one big family. she always goes to her reunions.
Because her experience had been so much fun, I really looked forward to hs. My experience was the exact opposite - cliques and bitchiness and backbiting and the rich girls sneering at the poor ones who had to work in the cafeteria to help with the tuition.
I loved college after that.

Samsung is running one, with a middle aged, Eurotrash, arrogant, elitist snob, wearing a tweed (of course) jacket, and musing aloud, how we Americans tend to use such a device to work, work, work. Even when on vacation, etc.
He then asks, rhetorically, "and where as that gotten you", and the scene shows him in Revolutionary War uniform saying "You built your own country, from scratch", then on driving a Lunar Rover, looking up at Earth from within his spacesuit, saying something like, "Making it the most prosperous and influential country in the world".....
and then segues into him stepping out of an all-American 2 story home, planting an American flag in the garden, exchanging greetings with his (black, upper middle class) neighbor, then gathering his NOW AMERICAN family to him, and proclaiming his pride in being an American!
That ad, first time I saw it, blew me away. So much frikkin AMERICA, Fk YEAH! in one single ad.

It would be fun to troll the owners of such cars, say at the parking lot of a fancy restaurant with valet parking. Drive up in some rancid old beater, but one that you have equipped with a prominent "Engine Start" button. Arrange to have the engine stall as a group is standing there. Then loudly say, "Start the car, Jeeves!" and right on cue, a skeletal hand and arm reaches out from the center console, and pushes the "Engine Start" button, and slowly withdraws back into the console.

That's for sure. But we picked up some cheap, excellent seats. And there was a crew of women there dressed as the Rockford Peaches, having fun. So there's that.
And now I see on WTMJ TV that there is a 3rd fire underway. So the trouble makers are out to stir shit up.

Hah. One time, back in the '80's, I drove from Calgary to Vancouver in an extremely rusty '76 Datsun 710 fastback. It was simply festering all over, and had a stack of 2X6's in the trunk to keep the back ends of the rear spring from popping through the trunk lid. I had bought it for its engine, which was really good, to replace a blown engine in a Datsun pickup I owned. But I had to get to Vancouver, and the engine swap had to wait, so I drove the 710, which ran great, incidentally. But I had to meet my sister and her family at a snooty restaurant on Granville Island, so I drove down there. They had valet parking, and the valet refused to park it, saying, "I can't drive standard shift." I just laughed, and said, "It's OK, I know how to park it myself."

People who are buying a 200 sq ft tiny house when they have one two year old kid, and another baby on the way. What the fuck is wrong with them?
There's barely space for two people, let alone four (including two potentially wild kids). What happens when baby is crying and there's no place to escape the noise. And how do you go about engaging in that activity that made those two kids? There's really no possibility for privacy. This shit is creepy.

I'm planning to sell off the business and live in a 30 footer. Not retiring - still gotta work - but I'm tired of owning property, and the upkeep on a house is absurd. As is rent of an apartment or a house. Had it to do over again, I'd have started and stayed in one of those. Comfy, cheap, and more than enough for one guy with occasional guests.

Posted by: Pete Seria at August 14, 2016 01:28 AM (/pOl7)
I lived for seven years aboard a 30 ft. sloop, center cockpit, aft cabin. Maximum beam was 8ft, 6in.
Master berth aft, was between full and Queen sized. Four ft. of hanging rod in the the clothing locker. Good amount of drawer and cabinet space, aft.
Two burner stove in the galley, with a chicken-sized oven. Augmented with a hot plate.
Forward, a vee berth, approximating full sized berth.
The head was okay, but you had to back your way in to "sit down", and the head-enclosure was also the shower. Only used offshore, at anchor, but still.
The New Dawn was a great home for me and two cats. Even then, it was some tight squeezing to live, day to day. Especially with a heavy armory on board, even then.
Now, I've been ashore a decade. And I'm more sure now than ever, that I'll go back to a boat to retire upon the waves.
Next one though, will be closer to fifty ft., than to forty.
Fvck that "tiny" shit. I want some elbow room and amenities, this time around.

<<<Yeah, I've been watching one of the (now many) tiny house related tv series because the guy who works the construction side of things does come up with some pretty cool, space saving creations.
For a lot of the people on the show, these houses can be pretty nice, inexpensive living solutions. A single or couple in 200-300 sq ft isn't too bad. It's tight, but a lot of them have other priorities and just need a place to rest their head when they get home at night.
But to bring in kids is asinine. Having so many people on top of each other in such a confined space is going to lead to conflicts and privacy problems you just won't be able to escape.
Hipsters always ruin everything.

You might have to wrestle with the local government over that.
The business connected with Animal Planet's Treehouse Masters show has been fined $5,000 for building a tree house in Oregon without a contractor's license. The state Construction Contractors Board was alerted to the illegal building after a tree house construction project in Neskowin was on the show.
The show features Pete Nelson, of the Fall City, Washington, company Nelson's Treehouse Supply, traveling the country building elaborate tree houses with electricity and plumbing.

Yep. I was shocked when I got it. You don't find those magnificent beasts just floating around. They're a yuuuugggge investment.
If his sister can't find the lens, I'll have to spend bigly and get one for it. And the lenses, brother, those large format lenses, they aint cheap.
Heh....now, as to whether I could get a good image with the rig is something else altogether.

Yep. But with 8x10, you don't need to enlarge much at all.
Hell, I've seen contact prints of portraits done at that format. Amazing is right.

At the end of the SpaceX webcast, they mentioned the late Kenny Baker,
who was apparently the voice of R2D2. Or he moved it. I don't know how
that works exactly.
Posted by: rickl at August 14, 2016 02:06 AM (sdi6R)
Kenny Baker was the guy inside R2D2. You might think of him as a puppeteer, or as a guy in EXTREME makeup (since you never saw his flesh) -- but he was responsible for giving R2D2 a personality and succeeded in doing so.
If you were doing it again today, you'd never involve a person inside the robot -- actual robot mechanisms have improved to the point where it'd be stupid. But, just like how the doors to the bridge on the original Enterprise in ST:TOS were moved by staffers, it all looks different since the technology has caught up.
Posted by: cthulhu at August 14, 2016 02:13 AM (EzgxV)
You get the lens, and I'll help as I can with the tilts, swings and bellows.
I figure the skills I picked up learning the 4"x5" Toyo, oughta translate, just a bit.
A great deal will depend on what lens(es) you find, and what emulsion you select.
But, I can put a good, well adjusted, sharply focused and properly oriented, image on the groundglass.
Might take some teamwork to decide the exposure(s), but I think we can get it done.

8x10 may be enlarged.Is the print to be larger or smaller than 8x10? Is your enlarger big enough? If you are a commercial shop (or a real serious photographer), you likely have such an enlarger
Larger formats (16x20, 20x24) are usually made by contact print, although if you have (built) such a camera, you likely also have (built) an enlarger.

I haz a weirdness. I can be "under the hood", and think and see, completely upside down, and reversed from tfel to thgir.
Fact is, the larger the format, and slower the approach, the more I relate to the process.
What it's worth, queue up some chamber music to go along with the actual photography. It's part of the zen.
I'd wager, once I press the cable release, that what you'd bring forth from the film and print darkrooms, would be beyond magic.

Clairemont.
Separately, as I've explained before, if an operation was underway in Benghazi, it was likely done under a "finding" approved by the congressional Intel committees. However idiotic or defensible such an op might have been, it is unlikely to be a question of "legality" under the US system.
The loss of a chief of mission under the given circumstances, and the outrageous histrionic mendacity of the entire US leadership about the nature of the attack, and the still unbelievable perp walking of an irrelevant US citizen and even official broadcasts to Islamic target audiences playing to the worst anti-US bigotries and delusions of the mob, stand as disastrous and despicable malfeasance without parallel in our history.
Any covert op is really an irrelevant side-issue by comparison.

I've had a tendency to not attend my graduations. As far as reunions go, I was mostly not unioned in the first place. At either the 10th or 15th HS reunion, they promised a "memory book" for the occasion, which I paid for....never got it.
Everything's tending toward digital now -- which means it's susceptible to ransomware. Would I pay $100 for every memory of my High School years? Day-by-day I'm moving to "probably not."

didn't graduate college, and most of my friends were either in the class before mine, or after... haven't been able to make any for mine since the 5 year one.
did make a reunion for a Army unit i was in back in the late 80-s.
the fun part were the ones that ignored me as if i wasn't there, and the one officer who tried to give me shit...
i was good, and simply rang rings around her with wise cracks, rather than ripping her a new asshole.

Turns out the little kids were fascinated with the camera, never having seen anything like it. I guess all the metal and glass and knobs looked pretty fancy compared to their parents' credit card size digital stuff. The kids weren't shy and started asking several hundred questions. I finally lowered the tripod almost to ground level and let them see what things looked liked under the cloth. The upside down and reversed image had some of them giggling and others trying to figure it out. I had more fun with those kids than I did exposing film that day. I still smile thinking about it.
I get a similar reaction from youngsters at the range when I'm using a flintlock. I love it when young people show curiosity and really want to learn.

My sister was the opposite of me. Her reaction to hating school was to push really hard to get the credits needed to graduate a year early. But she didn't have my fucked up brain. I'm probably smarter than her in terms of IQ but functionally she is far more capable. They didn't have the term attention deficit disorder yet when I was in grade school but it really applies, even though some now argue it doesn't exist. My mother would probably have been given the label too if she were growing up today. That, combined with the tendency for depression, really messed up my life.
Today was one of the bad days. I mostly slept except for occasional trips to the toilet. I simply couldn't think of any reason to be awake.

Our city did a "citywide garage sale" today, and one of the 220+ sales was a place with a totally mellow husky dog that was extremely distracting. He was just so adorably fluffy.
It was a quasi-estate sale (delayed) for a guy who repaired pianos (he passed a while back, but everything was kept the same for his spouse). It looked like he had permanently loaded medium and fine belt-sanders.

The following will happen:
1. Prices will go up, probably a lot.
2. New taxes will be tacked on.
3. Consolidation, mergers, buyouts etc. will result in only a few big players in the ecig market, the natural result of onerous regulation.
4. A black market will develop, and a new class of 'criminals' to supply it and buy it.
5. Many suppliers will move operations overseas, taking their jobs with them.

I had several attacks like this a few years ago, at the same they troubled my mother but I thought that was the end of it. Meneire's Syndrome can come and go without explanation.

SCOTUS ruled Government Agencies can stop you from growing wheat to feed your farm animals. Wooden stake through the heart of the US Constitution. Has only gotten worse since then. 50%+ of voters just want to be sure they get their part of the loot.
