Quotes of The Day

Quote I

Voyager upon life's sea:—
To yourself be true,
And whate'er your lot may be,
Paddle your own canoe.
Dr. Edward P. Philpots

Quote II

Thy spirit, Independence, let me share!
Lord of the lion-heart and eagle-eye,
Thy steps I follow with my bosom bare,
Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky.
Tobias Smollett


Quote III

THOU of an independent mind,
With soul resolv’d, with soul resign’d;
Prepar’d Power’s proudest frown to brave,
Who wilt not be, nor have a slave;
Virtue alone who dost revere,
Thy own reproach alone dost fear,
Approach this shrine, and worship here.
Robert Burns

The ONT doesn't recall ever hearing the name Charles Jenkins. The ONT would have been just fine if we hadn't heard the name and looked him up. For every action there is an equal reaction.

Charles Jenkins, a former U.S. Army soldier who deserted to North Korea at the height of the Cold War, died Monday. He was 77.

Jenkins collapsed outside his home in Sado, in northern Japan, on Monday and was rushed to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, a group representing families of Japanese abductees to North Korea said Tuesday. He died of heart failure, according to local reports.

Jenkins, originally from Rich Square, N.C., disappeared in January 1965 while on patrol along the Demilitarized Zone dividing North and South Korea.

To be honest with you I'm shocked that Obama didn't bring him back home, give him The Presidential Medal of Freedom and kick in for a sex change operation.

*****

If you haven't been paying attention to the Global Warming, Global Cooling, Climate Change bullshit then you probably missed the story about the starving polar bear scavenging a dump for food.


Guess what? The polar bear population is doing just fine.

According to scientists, no study has indicated that there is reason to presume that the perspectives of community observers are either suspect or incorrect. In fact, there have been multiple occasions when traditional ecological knowledge gleaned from local populations accurately identified polar bear subpopulation trends before new scientific studies could be conducted to corroborate them (York et al., 2016).

The overwhelming conclusion from years of accumulated conversations with native populations about polar bears is that there is almost no connection between the long-term observations of polar bear ecology and the more recent claims that polar bears as a species are in grave danger due to climate change and thinning sea ice.

*****

If you had a vote for the "Word of The Year" what would it be? Does collusion get the nod from you?

Dictionary.com chose "complicit," Cambridge Dictionary chose "populism," and Collins went with "fake news" as the 2017 word of the year. "Collusion" would also have been a good choice; after all, it provided much of the impetus for three of the most tweeted activism hashtags on twitter: #Resist (1), #ImpeachTrump (3), and #NotMyPresident (6).

Collusion's WOTY credentials are stellar based just on online lookups and trends, plus it was ubiquitous throughout fake news all year, even if the act it inexplicably described – the Trump campaign colluding with Russia during the 2016 election – was illusory.

The ONT Musical Interlude



***



*****


What happens when you don't attend shop class or say physics class. You become aGenius Award Winner.

A man who had apparently tried to steal wheels from a van was found dead Tuesday morning in Pittsburgh, with the vehicle on top of him, authorities said.

Pittsburgh police responded to the call about a fatal accident in Homewood at about 8:50 a.m.

Work place risk and reward succinctly stated.


*****

What are some of your Christmas traditions? A Colorado resident has a special tradition. Children are the recipients of the Christmas spirit.

For nearly a decade, an anonymous donor has bought every toy in the Fort Collins, Co. Goodwill so that any child who walks into the store leaves with something.

10 Baby Sister Update

Joyce came off the Optune device; she was just too miserable with it.

They meet with her oncologist on Monday to discuss other options (there actually *are* a few).

The balance is always quantity of life vs quality of life.

She is so brave.

OTOH: She had PT this morning and Hubby reports "she kicked it."

[Horde: To my fellow Hordelings, thank you all in advance for your prayers and well-wishes for my sister and her family]

There's probably a quid pro quo going on.

The IG will release a report that some bad things went on last year and this but nothing criminal and appropriate actions have already been taken.

Mueller will issue a report that the Russians tried to interfere with the election, Trump was associated with scuzzy people but there is no evidence of collusion.

The poetry is a nice touch. Classes the place up.

Kind of a mixed bag on the soldier who defected to North Korea. Looks like he was given a healthy dose of reality. Sounds like he made a bone headed decision when he was younger, then thought less of himself for the rest of his life- not to mention had to suffer for it. I have a certain amount of sympathy for the guy. Not a lot, but some.

LOL, today was interesting. Left to go to the bank and eye place. Saw couple of packages on the porch...oh boy, the cookbooks came today.

Get the deposit done, go to eye place to get glasses adjusted, they are now closed on Wed. RRRR.

Get home and open the box.

Crap, my brother sent socks to my Dad who will be here for Christmas.

So no cookbooks and my dumbass brother expects us to wrap this present for
Dad...when we barely get present from him.

I'm just pissed, cause I know my Mom raised us better. Oh well.

We watched "Home Alone" tonight. Cute movie, best part, for me, anyway, is that house. It's gorgeous.

I also love the scene where Kevin sits in the church and listens to the choir sing. Beautiful.

103 Hmmm. Physics.

So a person I know decided to remove the screens from their windows for the winter. Used a ladder to get the upper story screens. Window in question is above a concrete stoop. The ladder angle is too upright when the ladder base is on the stoop. This person grabs a sheet of plywood and places it on the stoop, hanging over the edge several feet, and puts the ladder on top of that. A little bit of suction under the plywood allows the plywood to support the ladder until the person climbs a rung or two.

Next came a trip to the emergency room for stitches to repair shins after sliding down the ladder.

The kicker? The screens can only be removed (without damage, anyway) from inside the house.

This is what happens when a person commits to a course of action and ignores any evidence that it just can't work.

128 Milo is right about many women having "porous politics." my sister (who I love dearly) was a Democrat and voted for Clinton when she was married to her first husband, who was liberal. her second husband, (my beloved BIL who died a few months ago) was a small businessman and a conservative and she became a conservative. she voted for Trump. And yet, I half expect her to revert to liberalism because she works on a college campus and listens to libs all day. she's a good person but pretty easily swayed by people around her - when it comes to politics,at least.

175 U.S. judge orders special counsel to turn over evidence on Michael Flynn

A U.S. District Court judge ordered Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Tuesday to turn over any potential evidence that could be material for when he sentences President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn...

Sullivan told the government in a filing to turn over any exculpatory evidence, known as "Brady" material, that could potentially help Flynn's defense or information that is "material either to the defendant's guilt or punishment."

The order by the judge is considered routine, and the government by law is required to turn over such information to the defense if it exists.

Wikipedia, but kind of profound --

Gingham is a medium-weight balanced plain-woven fabric made from dyed cotton or cotton-blend yarn.[1] It is made of carded, medium or fine yarns, where the colouring is on the warp yarns and always along the grain (weft). Gingham has no right or wrong side with respect to color.

What an odd story. The norks let his wife and him leave. I thought they'd put you in the camps to die before letting anyone leave. They also forced him to marry the Japanese abductee. Gee, that's nice of them, but it's weird, even for norks.

Had a similar experience with Jane's Addiction.

the music scene in America often sucks balls. Iron Maiden? Meh. Helloween? Who?

But I got to see Helloween at the Gothic in Englewood a few years ago. 500 rabid fans. Helloween headlines the biggest metal shows on the planet. They sell out soccer arenas, a hundred thousand people. In other countries they are bigger than Black Sabbath. Fucking love Helloween. Much as I love Sabbath and Maiden, they would never do an American tour of small theaters like the Gothic.

And the band loved it every bit as much as we did. Fucking Pumpkin Guys!

That's pretty apt, especially seeing as one from each ended up in CSNampersandY. That was an interesting time. I like the fluidity of band members moving from group to group inventing classic rock along the way.

I discounted the Hollies because they're name sounded old fashioned, but I get them now.

It's like Paris in the '20s. Everyone lived in Laurel Canyon. Everyone slept or tried to sleep with Joni Mitchell and no one could hold her.

I've read that Mr. Venn quit diagramming because he couldn't keep up.

Though her pancreatitis has turned into the chronic type with chronic abdominal pain, we think she can at least get some pleasure (If not give a virtuoso performance) from her old passion.

We are giving her a bassoon for Christmas. We hope that she is as enthusiastic about receiving this present as we are in giving it to her.

Well, hell. Uncle Harvey has through a spokeshole, given a response to Selma Hayek's charges.

With all the shit (probably about 100 women, give or take) he's never said anything since the shit first hit the fan, but he has responded to Hayek.

He says "he doesn't recall" pressuring her to do the lesbo scene. And besides, the character she was playing was bi, so that was in context. And also, he wasn't there for the filming, so he wasn't there to look when she was nekkid for the scene.

Now, WTF. This could mean that of all the stories, Selma's is bullshit, so's he going to respond. But I don't know.

You put me some knowledge there, thanks. So, earthstone. Is it shades of blue and green? One real beautiful copper mineral is covellite. It's a metallic sulfide mineral that is semi-transparent. Seen in the reflecting-light microscope, it's like looking into dark-blue glass, full of reflecting planes.

455 Well, hell. Uncle Harvey has through a spokeshole, given a response to Selma Hayek's charges.

I'm still not clear on what her "charges" were.

He says "he doesn't recall" pressuring her to do the lesbo scene. And besides, the character she was playing was bi, so that was in context. And also, he wasn't there for the filming, so he wasn't there to look when she was nekkid for the scene.

Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at December 14, 2017 01:09 AM (8O3HH)


Those complaints of hers didn't amount to squat, anyway.

All I can see she was complaining about was that he pestered her for normal and weird sex and that he tried to stop her crappy movie from being made. I wish he had succeeded at the latter. Frida was not very good ... and that doesn't even take into account the fact that it was a love story for Communism, either.

Salma Hayek called him her "monster" and talked about how she was abused and felt guilty and all this shit ... and then all she could come up with was that he used his salad fork to eat his mashed potatoes.

Earthstone is mostly greens (malacite etc.) with some blue azurite, a few quartz micros in little caves, some brown/black tenorite. Covellite, terrific, I cut alot of it - best is Butte, MT and Colorado. Properly oriented, the plate-like crystals reflect back an incredible purple. There are some tricks of the lapidary trade to accentuate the purple (quartz caps, for example). But you have to have the plate like crystal structure. The massive stuff, for example, RSA, won't give the effect.
For fun, with a reflecting light microscope, check out Vivianite crystals from Bolivia or Madagascar - dichroic- and paper thin plates comprising the crystal.

I will have to look for Vivianite and Sugilite, next time I am near a rock shop. I might still have some specimens of Covellite, mixed with Bornite, that came from a small mine one of my relatives operated in B.C. Also some ruby silvers, which show the same optical effect in deep red.

"Nikki Haley stuck a knife in his back': Trump loyalist Roger Stone is ALREADY writing a book about 'the President's downfall' and believes he will be ousted by members of cabinet".


I guess it is from a Vanity Fair interview. Thing is, Roger Stone is rather a wing nut. He says a lot of off the wall stuff. There are a lot of things to comment on here, but it's late, so I won't.

I'll say this though...Nikki Haley did not stick a knife in Trump's back; she said exactly the right thing at the UN. She's been brilliant in that position.

While there has been no shortage of knives, Haley is not the one I would worry about using them. Thus far, she has seemed superb in what she is doing. Considering in the early days, some wondered if she was a GOPe plant, that is a pleasant surprise.

Certainly her tone has been nice- pretty John Boltonish.

Nikki was my guv, and I voted for her twice. I did get a little ticked at her with the flag stuff and other weaseling politician behavior, such as during the primary denouncing Donny Two Scoops.

But she's a home gal, and thus I rooted for her, and am proud of her at the UN so far.

Less than 8 years ago, she started out as a small time state legislator. She went a long way in a short time, and has made the big time. Again, proud of a home girl.

486 I finally looked at the Arizona shooting Insomniac & others were speaking about. It really was an execution.

I know we've all seen videos of bad cop shootings, but this is the worst in my recent memory. A guy crying and begging in a hotel hallway, on the ground, for his life. Doing everything the cop said.

In the other bad shootings there have at least been knives, or drugs, or some extenuating circumstances. None of those things apply here.

There were other officers there. Why didn't one go cuff him? This is all kinds of disturbing.

No wonder they held the tape back for 2 years.
