Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest. C. S. LewisQuote II
Don't be afraid to go your own way. Most of the time any fear you feel turns out worse than any of the outcomes. Jim MizeQuote III

As I said, Robert Mugabe is a pipsqueak. So what do you call people who cannot stand up to the most absurd provocations of bankrupt pipsqueaks? Whether or not Mr Mugabe has no penis, the free members of the UN have no balls. Mark Steyn
Remember when you fight the law you also have to fight the dogs. Can you escape from a blood hound?
Over the past several years the public has requested that Law Enforcement Agencies wear body cameras. Police Body Cams. More hype than anything else?
Michael Tobin, the director of the DC Office of Police Complaints, told The Washington Post that a review of body cam footage shows that, in tense situations, "people react the same whether they are on camera or not." However, he added that, "in routine encounters, when people know the camera is active, I believe we see people acting differently—more professionally, more formally." Despite its overall finding, the report notes that body cam footage has other value—like its use in courts and for purposes of training and transparency.

Via Twitchy, the hilarious story of a lefty who–for reasons unknown–ventured into South Dakota and saw firearms. The lefty is Samuel Sinyangwe, who describes himself this way on Twitter, where he has more than 96,000 followers: Black Activist. Data Scientist & Policy Analyst. Stanford Alum. Co-Founder, Campaign Zero | Mapping Police Violence | OurStates.
Instead of showing any sign of curiosity he proceeded to snap some photos and becomes a dumb ass on Twitter. And they call us Deplorables.
People suffering from Alzheimer's disease have altered gut bacteria, a new study published in Scientific Reports shows. A team of researchers primarily based out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison examined the gut microbiota of twenty-five Alzheimer's patients at the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and compared their samples with those of twenty-five control subjects matched for age, gender, and health.
Are MBAs on the way out? Several prominent schools are considering dropping them.
What's Killing U.S. Business Schools?... [T]he University of Wisconsin is in the process of reviewing its graduate business degree programs..."
"... a process that may result in the discontinuation of its two-year full-time MBA program.... The Midwestern school’s program may become the latest casualty in a string of closures of MBA programs around the country. The University of Iowa’s Tippie College of Business announced in August that it would end its full-time MBA program. In recent years, Wake Forest University, Thunderbird School of Global Management, Virginia Tech, and Simmons College (the country’s only all-female business school) have shuttered their traditional two-year programs.

The Proclaimers had the 1990 UK No.9 hit with their version of 'King Of The Road.' via thisdayinmusic.com
October 25, 2014, Jack Bruce, best known as one third of Cream died of liver disease aged 71.

Well, hard to beat this:
Jessica B and Sue D had Joyce today. They started out with therapeutic horseback riding.
WooHoo!
As you can imagine, she **loved** it .
I thought they'd have several people holding her up, but apparently a simple harness was sufficient.
Pic here: http://tinyurl.com/y7dnr8lc
I am so stunned and proud.
Next, they were off to another adventure (stopping to buy new shorts, first)..
Looking forward to **that** report later.
Oh! So, Joyce had an MRI on Monday, results next Monday (?).
Praying that they're positive.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and surmise that the authorities will be unable to prove in any court that any laws Clinton or her minions/co-conspirators are alleged to have violated ever were specifically written to be applicable to Clinton or to any party acting on her behalf...

This is true in the Midwest too. Many barns are left to decay and are replaced with pole buildings. It is as though the current owners have no appreciation for the Americana they are letting rot. The owners probably never consider how much it would cost to build a barn like the one they have. It is sad to think that there will come a time when kids can only see a barn in books.

I remember those tall cans of Borden Egg Nog every year. Something about it was just better than other nogs.
Then again, it was canned which always made me a little suspicious. I had a pet theory they made a mindbogglingly gigantic amount of it in 1972 and were still trying to can and sell it all well into the 2000s.

"The Obama administration placed Aimen Nabi Mir, former two-time president of the youth wing of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), into the top advisory position to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a national security post at the Treasury Department.
Aimen Mir was the CFIUS Staff Chairperson from 2009 until 2014. During that time. Aimen Mir played a key role in the CFIUS panel's decision to approve the sale of Uranium One to Russia's Rosatom. Mir also played a key role in the Treasury Department's refusal to investigate the UAE's Gulftainer 35-year cargo container terminal lease at Port Canaveral, a critical military infrastructure facility for U.S. naval and space operations. Both decisions severely damaged United States national security."

This is true in the Midwest too. Many barns are left to decay and are replaced with pole buildings. It is as though the current owners have no appreciation for the Americana they are letting rot. The owners probably never consider how much it would cost to build a barn like the one they have. It is sad to think that there will come a time when kids can only see a barn in books.

Tonypete, just because I came across it last night, book I'm reading on the Gestapo says that lesbianism was not, contrary to popular belief, banned in the Third Reich. Homosexuality was not a good move, of course, though many of the statutes pre-dated You Know Who (though the punishments became decidedly more dramatic).

I looked it up out of curiosity. According to Merriam-Webster the plural of ficus is either "ficus" or "ficuses".
The former being preferred, but the latter acceptable. So ficus can be one of these words which is its own plural. Or not.

That series was berry berry good to me.
----
It has some big strikes against it. once it's 3-0 Yankees people lose interest for a few game...figure it's over. And games 4/5 were the two most exciting games of the series.
It's better in retrospect then it was as it happened.
The 2003 series by contrast was tied 1-1, 2-2 and 3-3 which is more exciting. and it has a MUCH better game 7 (6-5 in 11 innings)
And game 7 is basically over after two innings (6-0 Sox)

(He's Walter Price IV, but goes by "Four". Somebody PLEASE for the sake of mirth call him "Eye-Vee" to his face. Anyway...) He's as bad, if not worse, than the evil Straus.
If he or some others get in (like Zerwas from the Houston area), it will be more of the same.

It's called $$$$$. Many are too small to hold modern equipment, they are of no practical use.
If you want to preserve them, you can, but fewer are doing that due to costs. We kept ours, spent big bucks roofing it, think the new owner is of the same mind.

And the new pole barn that protects your modern equipment (tractors take up less space than horses per acre to be plowed). Costs less than fixing up the old barn. And also some barns were built like crap from the get go.
All kinds of reasons to give up on an old barn.

that play was in the WS vs. the Royals. But in 5 games against the Astros,
Four extra-inning games in a row. The second-best winner-take-all game ever played.
Every game had a lead change after the sixth inning except Game2, which ended 1-0 in 11 innings.
Of the 99 half-innings in the series, the teams were tied in 48, within one run in 36 and within two runs in 12. Just twice did a team open an inning with a three-run lead, and only in one half-inning did a team have a lead as large as four runs.
The Phillies in 11 post-season games that year had more big moments than any other team in a post-season. I'll have to list them.

Oh - and St Crispin's Day today, right? Forgot that. Also forget the tie-in to that famous message to Halsey.
Have historians ever been able to find out if the code clerk was edumucated, and thus included the line intentionally? Seems hard to believe otherwise.
So sad - getting direct answers from the actual vets becoming less and less possible. Two weeks ago a 94 (?)-yr old Iwo Jima vet came into the museum - drove himself, 100% mentally and physically (says he plays golf twice a week - I know the course, it's a long one).

I corrected my junior English teacher, who insisted that 'weird' was spelled 'wierd' because, as he told me with increasing anger, "i before e except after c". I said "you're an English teacher and you believe these stupid spelling rules?" He went off, damn near throwing a tantrum, and pulled out a dictionary, now fully intent on proving me wrong. Problem was that he couldn't find "wierd" in the dictionary. I said "Now look it up my way." And he found I was right and he was wrong. He was not happy and started yelling "And what are you doing out of your desk anyway Mr. CatchThirtyThr33?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
I hated high school and found that particular teacher to be an obnoxious jerk who was in the business for one reason: three months off during the year so he could travel to Europe.

Ashley Judd's, you seem well versed in media/advertizing realities and
mechanics - has the NFL had to rebate $$$ yet, to networks (or does it
go to advertizers?), due to the ratings slump?
Posted by: rhomboid at October 25, 2017 11:54 PM (QDnY+)
Not yet, and it won't happen until after the regular season. The networks sold XX number of ratings points for the season to their advertisers, and if the NFL games don't hit those benchmarks, then the networks will either have to rebate some of the money or make good on the spots. Probably what will happen is the networks will make good on those ads in the 1st quarter of 2018. Nobody will get hurt because the 1st quarter is absolutely dead in terms of advertising.
However, next season will be where the networks will start feeling it since they will be setting their ads based on what this season's ratings were. Lower ratings = Lower dollars. Either the networks will have to add more advertising units per game to make up for the loss which means that the fans will have to sit through even more ads (see NASCAR's slow death) or the networks will lose more and more money on the NFL and will start cutting the fees that they pay the NFL.
The NFL doesn't have to rebate anything to the networks because the rights deal probably doesn't have any offset language in it, but you can be damn sure that every Monday, Tuesday and Friday morning that Roger Goodell is on the phone with the head of CBS, NBC, Fox and ESPN getting an earful about it.
The networks went with the anthem kneeling because they thought that having that "controversy" will bring eyeballs to the games. While that adage is true for the most part, there are some controversies that do not work, the National Anthem being one.

Seemed like a lot of big ones in 2008 also but I suspect that's my fan's perspective.
no +30 against the Brewers. Victorino slam was +29
Game4 NLCS: Victorino 2-run homer +31 to tie game.
Game4 NLCS: Stairs 2-run homer +40 to untie it, both in the 8th
No +30 plays in the WS
2 +30 plays in 14 games is more normal
The really big play was in 2009
+83 bottom 9th 2-outs Rollins doubles home tying and lead runs off Broxton. walkoff.

Interesting to me is that it seemed to be pretty well distributed among the Phillies, which was my subjective perception at the time. Not like it was dominated by Schmidt for example.
Also interesting is that this model doesn't include
game altering defensive, pitching, base running events. I remember that crazy "assist" by Pete Rose. Don't know how the stats would see it but I still remember the mood change of the people I was watching with. "We might actually win this one!"

It does, but a steal (except of home) wont change the probability by much. The phantom Triple play (turned into a DP) in Game 4 of the NLCS moved the needle by +13
But plays that change the score and who is leading will score highest.

Ancient Greek geometricianisters like Pythagoras proved that the world is round centuries before Jesus was even born.
Here's the thing about Columbus. Spain had just recently kicked out the Moors. They still wanted to trade with the Far East, but they no longer had that route to China and India through the Middle East because the Moslems who rule those nations now considered all Spaniards to be apostates.
Columbus got an audience with Ferdie and Izzie, and said, basically, "Hey, we know the world is round, so if I sail out to the west long enough, I'll reach India and China, and we'll reopen trade with them".

The noun platypus has a Greek root. Platy + pous (flat feet). The Greek plural for platypus is platypodes.
Confusion arises over the plural of platypus because many believe it is a Latin noun that should be pluralized with an i (just like cactus becomes cacti).

The BBRef measures after each play. So a foul pop fly rates the same a being thrown out at home attempting an inside-the-park homer.
intra-play excitement is not captures. So it is imperfect.
Brett Myers 9-pitch walk Vs. Sabbathia (leading to the Victorino slam) was much more exciting than the simple metric would indicate.

The only thing I can think of is that he took the name "Menzies" and latinized it into "menzezius."

Yeah I have a vague recollection of once being told in class that they knew the world was round, so the whole "Columbus was brilliant for thinking that!" is pretty much bunk. But that they had underestimated the size of the world. So they would hit Asia at the point he actually hit the West Indies. And of course he's not the first one to "discover" America either, but he did it at the time when the age of exploration was just kicking off so those who try to downplay what he did are a bit silly.

Columbus had a nutty idea that common knowledge was all wrong, and that Asia was only 5,000 miles to the west. That was just within feasible range. Lucky for him, there happened to be a continental land mass about 5,000 to the west. Only, it wasn't Asia.

It took a while; it was still pretty common in the 1800's for important new stuff to be published in Latin. They had to import a lot of root words, and methods of rendering Latin changes. Not all of their work survives, but it was probably the biggest set of changes ever made to working English. Not everyone approved, either.

Lots of decrepit barns in my part of Canada, too, due to the old 1/4 section homesteads being absorbed into ever-larger family/corporate farms. My own place has a decrepit barn on it, but the barn was originally used to stable the horses of the kids who went to school in the one-room schoolhouse that is now my home.

Ancient Greek geometricianisters like Pythagoras proved that the world is round centuries before Jesus was even born.
Here's the thing about Columbus. Spain had just recently kicked out the Moors. They still wanted to trade with the Far East, but they no longer had that route to China and India through the Middle East because the Moslems who rule those nations now considered all Spaniards to be apostates.
Columbus got an audience with Ferdie and Izzie, and said, basically, "Hey, we know the world is round, so if I sail out to the west long enough, I'll reach India and China, and we'll reopen trade with them".
Posted by: Prothonotary Warbler at October 26, 2017 01:08 AM (3YxFh)
There was too much proof that the world is round for Columbus and Magellan to be the first to prove it. Notice that the vessels with tall sailing masts, when they put out to see, finally fade beyond the horizon when the top of the mast disappears from view.
Eclipses are another indication. Even the ancients could figure out that during a lunar eclipse the moon disappeared into the Earth's shadow - which of course is curved.
Finally, Eratosthenes figured out the world's circumference well before the birth of Christ, and it was not a secret that on June 21, some obelisks and vertical structures cast no shadows while others further north did on the same day.

The sun is directly overhead at the no shadows (NS) location, while at the exact same time it casts northward pointing shadows at locations north of NS location and casts southward pointing shadows at locations south of NS location. Assuming parallel light rays strike the Earth from the distant Sun, the pattern of shadows is due to the obelisks resting on the curved surface of the Earth.

They definitely know because they hired Fusion GPS to do oppo research.
Fusion doesn't just do oppo research - their specialty is then packaging their research as a news story and getting friendly reportes to then publish it as their own work.

There is a show on one of those home improvement networks (DIY I think) that has some builders who go around and carefully tear those old barns down and make use of the wood and other barn items. Some of the things they find probably belong in a museum because the barns have been around for a 100+ years.

The house I bought has barn wood on the walls in the family room. I wonder where the boards come from, some of the boards are 20 inches wide. Worn and must have been outside a long time.

The study controls were not eating instituional food. The study is useless. Feed a normal person institutional bilge, and their gut bacteria will be altered.
