Gloomy ONT
Usually I have a theme or a hook or something in mind for the ONT, but tonight I got nothin', so this one's going to be all over the place like a prehensile colon*. Here, go buy something while I get the links together.

Police: 'MS-13 associate' pays gang $100 to have sex with trafficked 14-year-old girl
Obviously this guy is the next Einstein or Bach, and we need him in our country. But hey, who are we to point fingers? It ain't like we're not embracing our own homegrown perverts.

It's a Different World Watch 2 adorably clueless teens, 17, baffled by a rotary phone
It took them 4 minutes to figure it out. Speaking of outdated references, the Canoe-head singing the Star Spangled Banner before the Flames/Panthers game tonight sang it like he had a stomach flu and needed to use the can right now. My thought was “Holy cow, this guy sounds like an LP played at 78”. How many 17 year olds would get that reference? He was a little better on Oh Canada, sounded like someone had turned the speed down to 45.
Lets Close With Some Feel Good Stories Rob Lowe on Dancing With Snow White and Getting the Last Laugh Back in the 80s, Lowe didn't seem to be much more than just another airhead member of the Brat Pack, destined for obscurity. Since he got clean, however, he's shown a marked level of substance. I like him. Clemson's Trevor Lawrence delays title celebration to share touching moment with fan. This kid's going to be a superstar. Prison fight kills sex ring leader, hurts 2nd defendant. I am crushed at the failure of our prison system to adequately protect its charges. Absolutely crushed.

It's narrative specifically designed to make us (all of us) miserable,
direct our behavior, and to "change" us.
There's enough misery in this life, I don't need it fed to me on a spoon by pampered rich assholes who hate me.

Dave Brubeck's Take Five is IMHO, very enjoyable, even if you don't know anything about jazz, because it has such a great rhythm and melody. Just like all great music.
I also can't stop listening to Vince Guaraldi, the guy who did the jazz music soundtracks for the 1960s Peanuts specials. Very accessible, enjoyable, tuneful.

Nothing wrong with Big Band and Swing. Most Jazz fans/critics tend to downplay its role, but they are the aforementioned elitists who fancy themselves every bit as important as the instrumentalists in modern jazz.

Jazz is like James Joyce's books. They always show up on lists of "The Greatest Books Ever" but no one has ever actually read one all the way through.
Jazz is fine for riding in the elevator. Some jazz. No one really puts jazz on to listen to ... except for those guys with the berets snapping their fingers ... and even they don't like but are just doing it for show.

The best way I can put this is to relate to the riders (requirements on site) for some bands I have worked with. One called for a large bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed. Talking thousands of them to go through. His requirements are equally stupid and vain.
Also, he expected a perfect technical show, but would not do the 30-60 minutes of prep work with the sound/lighting/video crew to make it happen. No rehearsal, as his time was "too valuable" for that.

West Coast jazz is great. People don't appreciate Jazz enough. It's a true american artform.
Borne from another uniquely American art form, the blues. When I first started listening to jazz, I was pretty lost until I started noticing all the songs that were in the blues form of I-IV-V. A big ol' lightbulb went off then.
Discovering the wonder that is Ella Fitzgerald was the icing on the cake. Damn, that woman could sing like nobody's business. Love listening to her.

I've been wanting to do something like that because I can't play anything, but I am musically inclined and have some tracks in my head I desperately want to get out.

Although I admit, it's a pretty cloistered format of music. Pretty much only a handful of basic melodies and themes.
But in the right hands, performed by really talented people, it still works, over and over and over again.
And yeah, just like rock, jazz has some annoying themes it keeps hammering. Such as, if you listen to New Orleans stuff, 'Birdland.' Manhattan Transfer just could never stop singing about that.

So are the small bands of the late 40s early 50s. Before Bop and Hard Bop took over.
but throughout there have always been guys doing it right.
Early Mingus. Monk's quartet. Brubeck.

The key to Robbins' shtick I think, is that he lures people in with a way to run your business better, but then he sets the hooks with self-improvement stuff.
None of the concepts he seems to teach is really objectionable or even new, but the self improvement aspects makes you think you are talking to the business equivalent of cross-fit devotees.

It gets better, not just dedicating his bio to Tony on the same level as is wife, but he now sends morning messages based on Robbin's Emotional Triad, whatever in the blue stupid fuck that is.
e.g. Today's message is about Focusing on your State and how you can change your State with a better Focus. Thats almost ad verbatim.
They also have tony robbins mastery classes for coworkers now.
I am less than enthusiastic about it all to say the least, for which they would tell me I need to Focus on changing my normal State to a better State.
I thought this kind of corporate horseshit was a one off thing, but my last job with a completely different company had the same bullshit, and a fried of mine works for an accounting firm heavily into the Law of Attraction Oprah horseshit. It seems to be everywhere.
I made the mistake of suggesting a book to the office manager here that had a chapter regarding why Tony Robbins would not appeal to introverts like me, and now he's been a nasty asshole to me ever since because I shit on his little idol. I ddint even say anything derogatory about Robbins, just that certain people might not have the same perspective.
can i be retired now?

One company I worked for was actually unique in my experience and tried to get training for managers/leadership- which is something that I have observed is sorely lacking at most places.
So they ran their existing leadership team (management) through classes like 'Lean Manufacturing', 'How to train people and write good work instructions.' Nothing revolutionary, but important things that most people just expect people off the street to know and just do for some strange reason- then get pissed off when the newly minted managers don't know how to do it.
It was good stuff, although I did not think at the time they followed through on it enough.

I started out with FL or "fruity loops" (don't even think about going there). That's a loop-based program and you can download a free version of it, or at least you could at one time. Comes with a bunch of cool loops you can drag and drop and make a song out of.

If you have a Mac, you probably already have GarageBand, which is roughly the same thing. GB also lets you sample from live instruments and incorporate them into your recordings. If you've got a Mac, GB should be free to install from the App Store.

One thing, most, if not all, of the big hits from the 50s and 60s and 70s - we're played by session musicians. You didn't really think they'd waste valuable and expensive studio time letting Dennis Wilson try to play drums on take 53? Nope. They needed to get it done. Guys like Glen Cambell, Tommy Tedesco, Hal Blaine, a whole bunch of people you never heard of. That's who is playing on your favorite records.
Most of those guys, were in turn Jazz musicians. It's true. Playing pop music was a piece of cake for them. One thing I've learned after learning to play a little, in my opinion, is the REALLY good musicians don't always get appreciated, and probably never made a lot of money compared to the famous names.

Some of the smaller parishes in town have closed up but that is mostly due to changing neighborhood demographics.

One of the most successful bands of the 1960s was... "The Wrecking Crew." A group of studio musicians who played on dozens of the biggest hits of that era, *backing up star musicians and groups*, from early Phil Spector to the Carpenters. Very few people can name any of them, although some huge stars came from them, including both Sonny *and* Cher, Glen Campbell, and Harry Nilsson.

And they didn't perform live for very long, mostly just from 1963 to '66. When they *did* perform live, their shows were literally only 45 minutes to an hour long.

There's a lot of programs out there that use what are called "loops" which are prerecorded snippets of songs. These can be drumbeats, synthesizer hits, single notes or just about anything.
I started out with FL or "fruity loops" (don't even think about going there). That's a loop-based program and you can download a free version of it, or at least you could at one time. Comes with a bunch of cool loops you can drag and drop and make a song out of.

My sister and her family went to a church plant that eventually failed. They were there when it went from a storefront to borrowed space at another denomination's seminary to an actual church which then closed down. The closure was mostly due, IIRC, the pastor getting cancer and the church relying too heavily upon him. At the last service, many of the old congregants showed up and were lamenting the church's demise. My sister nearly lost it because her family had poured so much energy into the church while these people had just left.

That being said, remember he's just a salesman, and while there is value in what he's selling, he isn't the messiah or some new guru, he isn't doing anything that Zig Zigler or Tom Hopkins haven't done before, he's just more...flamboyant about it.
Finally, I can distill everything he's saying down to a three word phrase that, if you utilize it, will result in every bit as much success as a dozen Robbins seminars: get to work. Sales is a hard job because most people don't want to put in the effort it takes to be super successful. get to work, work your ass off at the hard, no-fun parts of your job like prospecting, customer service and follow up, and you'll be successful (within limits, if you have no aptitude or skill and refuse to learn any, the hardest worker will fail, it's usually not a really good profession for true introverts, for example). Hard work makes up for an awful lot of flash and dazzle.

If you haven't heard it, take a listen!
I like interesting stories about recordings, the nuts and bolts, the trivia. A fair number of #1 hits were not necessarily thought of in those terms, sometimes, though not always. Once in a while a band would be tasked to come up with another song - anything - to fill up an album. So the filler song, an old tune they had kicking around, or the "B" side becomes the hit after it gets played. The music business as far as I know is pretty much dead. At least the business model is. They have to tour these days. Nobody is buying south pacific island lairs like they were in the 60s and 70s off album sales.

Correct. I saw Led Zeppelin 3 times in Seattle, and they never had a warmup band.
Interesting local angle on Led Zeppelin. In 1969, there was a concert facility in a suburb on Seattle's Eastside in Woodinville called the Gold Creek Dome. The headliner band was The Doors. An unknown band from England, Led Zeppelin, was the warmup.
They were supposed to play a half dozen songs and then clear the stage. The crowd was going crazy and demanded a couple of encores. LZ did it.
About 20 minutes later, The Doors came on. They lasted about 4 songs, until they were booed off the stage. The crowd screamed for more Led Zeppelin, and they came back and played another few songs.
No I wasn't there, but an older cousin, who was in the local music scene, was and told me the story.
And Humble Pie was underrated.

Nope. It's not even dead now, it's still there, the Republicans just zeroed it out. Literally, the penalty is $0. Couldn't get rid of it w/o 60 votes in the senate, and couldn't use reconciliation because removing it would be, on paper anyway, a net cost to the government. The zeroing out applies starting this year, it was still in effect last year.
It's childishly easy to avoid, however. Drop me a line if you need to know how.

I could probably play drums with him with about ten minutes notice. I played drums in a band with one of Chris Robinson's cousins (so he said, same last name) for about two years. We never practiced and I never knew what he was going to call song-wise. We played everything from Zeppelin to Johnny Cash, often in the same set. Kept me on me musical toes, it did. Loved every minute of it. Oh, and they hired me without an audition and without ever hearing me play.

As I lay beneath God's grace, I find myself impatient and even angry at the situation before me.
Through His light, I am able to offer hope to those who require salvation and strength.
Through Him, I am granted the love and patience that was once unreachable. Unfathomable to my worried and impatient soul.
As I ask not of God; as I find love through Him to show love to my fellow fallen man, I am granted my own salvation.
Through one moment's patience, faith and pardon can be passed as His lesson to alleviate a burden upon my Brethren.
I seek consolation through the salve of Our Lord, as I find those who may have lost the light.
Yours is a blessed adventure through passage and prose. Through learned study of sadness and joy.
For you, I can only wish blessings as you find and understand them. Through fallen human heart and individual failings, we find that only through giving do we receive.
God love you
God keep you
God bless you.

I saw a roadkilled oppssum the size of a large cat on the way to w*rk
this morning. I didn't think they could get that big. All day I
couldn't help but wondering; do they normally get that large or was what
I saw merely a freak of nature?
Large cat as in big house cat, or mountain lion? If the former, don't worry about it. If the latter, you might want to investigate a change of residence to another continent.

Where do you live? Here in California, I've seldom seen a possum smaller than a large cat. Of course they get free the pill for free plus unlimited EBT cards so maybe that's a factor.

otho, I have a '93 Fender Jazz Plus V straight into a Fender Rumble 500 combo amp (V3), 2-10's and a bullet tweeter (and only 37 lbs). They only made that bass for about three years in the early '90's. Kubicki designed the Lace Pickups (active, with an off position, which I like because it saves the battery) before he struck out on his own. No pedals. Been my main axe for about 20 years now. It needs a fret job badly, I play round-wound strings.

The slick trick would be to weigh an opossum that is in the process of dying, so we could see if any mass were lost as its soul left its body.
Should there be a scarcity of opossums, perhaps the saintly RBG could be persuaded to give her all for Science.

There was a time around the summer (when they all had a randomly-selected nick starting with 'c', as was the style of the day) when they were on topic but still read like computer-generated Mad Libs. Some of them had a gimmick that made it hilarious if you read it in a Borat voice.
Now they'll crash a movie review thread with some bizarre shit like "y trum no liek yams? IMPEACH!". They're not even relevant to the topic. Or show up five hours after everyone's left a thread to get the last word that nobody will ever read, and that doesn't make any sense anyway. This is what happens when the herd doesn't get culled, you get sickly trolls with crippling degenerative neurological diseases staggering through the lawn and garden section at Meijer at 10am, walking into things and foaming and twitching.

I once met a couple at the Monroe Swap Meet in Washington State, who had a baby possum as a pet. It rode on Dad's shoulders. Cute little critter, with about twice as many teeth as it properly ought to have.
Mama said she would stop and check road-killed possums, and often the females would have live young in their pouch. She would rescue the babies, and bottle-feed them.

Opossums managed to subvert the Law of Australian Wildlife, I think. The Strayan version of every other kind of animal is made of pure murder. Opossums, which are nice enough, I guess, but not particularly cuddly looking in North America, somehow turned into this down there:

I yet pine for "The Days of Old" when the Devil's pitchfork on my shoulder and I laughed about the undying love we had for the Frivolities of Life. Carefree folly through a maze of careless youth.
Useless chiding of mistakes given to the past merely waste time as I navigate the Seas of the Present.
For it is now that I am given to His love, through trial. It is now that I am asked more than I ever thought I had. It is now that finding others of faith and honor is most important.
Without these Fellow Warriors, I am the sole soul upon a battlefield of endless consternation and woe.
This will not be my fate. For it is not the Earthly house in which I reside. It is within the grasp of faith to find His Kingdom where I may reside in His house.
Under His love
Within His care
Through His light
I will persevere.

Republicans just zeroed it out. Literally, the penalty is $0. Couldn't
get rid of it w/o 60 votes in the senate, and couldn't use
reconciliation because removing it would be, on paper anyway, a net cost
to the government. The zeroing out applies starting this year, it was
still in effect last year.
It's childishly easy to avoid, however. Drop me a line if you need to know how.

I think I did avoid it, although I had to look around for it a bit further than I remember having to in previous years. Usually HR Block has a checkbox for a healthcare exemption if your total income doesn't reach a specific percentage of some number, but it distracted me with some other low-income exemption that went on to a page saying "Make sure you went to healthcare dot gov and filled out the proper paperwork and mailed it in and got your government approval back and--" and by that time I saw the huge negative dollar amount sitting in the sidebar under my estimated federal refund and went continuing looking for what I usually use.

The Common Cormorant or shag
Lays eggs inside a paper bag.
The reason you will see no doubt
It is to keep the lightning out.
But what these unobservant birds
Have never noticed is that herds
Of wandering bears may come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.

My 'possum story:
Couple o' months ago our dog finds two baby 'possums hiding out in our jasmine vine. Dog, out of curiosity, nabs one of the possums then drops it, and it scurries across the yard and into a small space between a low concrete retaining wall and the fence between our yard and the neighbor's. Average Wife shuffles the dog inside, I don a pair of gloves and nab the other 'possum out of the vine, and put it in a cage.
Average Daughter calls animal control, since the 'possums were quite young and their mother was no where to be found. Animal control comes, helps me try to locate the 'possum behind the retaining wall, which we did, briefly, but it eluded us.
So before the animal control officer leaves with the other 'possum, she informs me that my dog is under quarantine because he had contact with wildlife. Takes a pic of the dog, leave me some paperwork. Dog can't leave the house or have contact with other animals for 60 days.
Yeah, right. We resumed life as normal with the dog.
Time passes, I get a call from animal control saying that they had to come see the dog before releasing him from quarantine. I had completely forgotten about it, but played along. I only remembered after they hung up.
So they come, look at the dog, and leave.
A week later, we get a bill from animal control for $50.
Bastards.
tl:dr: If your pet interacts with wildlife, don't tell anyone from the gov't.

Reminds me of a friend. His brother-in-law, who lives out of state, ties [fishing] flies. In talking to his BIL, my friend found out that he liked to use possum fur for dubbing. One day my friend finds a road-kill possum, so he brings it home, skins it, tries to clean the pelt up best he can, salts it, sticks it in a zip-lock back, and sends the smelly mess to his BIL via USPS.
BIL replies: Thanks for the possum pelt and all, but it has to be Australian possum!

So i was alone in the house. I heard a strange scratching noise. This noise was scary as hell. I went to the sun room, and through a glass door I saw a huge Opossum that seemed sick and possibly rabid. It was scratching at the door and looked sick as hell.
I thought about shooting the thing but this was late at night an the suburbs. I am not sure how clearly I was thinking at the time but I did end up outside with a compound bow with broadheads. I was this close to the thing and had him in my sights with the arrow drawn. Then I realized I could easily send this arrow into the neighbor's yard and that the whole deal should be reconsidered.
In the end, the Opossum left and probably died on its own account. Anyway, it was not the normal night in the 'burbs.

Frankenteins Lab is good, they are funny. But this guy jblethal blows me away. The guy is so real, you can can see it in his eyes. Two video I recommend are Elvis's "The Ghetto" https://tinyurl.com/y8jt598j
https://tinyurl.com/y876gdnoThe other is Meat Loaf.
He does country too. I just like this guy.

I still don't get this tiny url business. But I have never been barreled. And I am not sure why that it the case, it is not by talent.

Harvey's is not really that bad, and is not cheap. Sure, there are way better sherries but American's may never get sherry. But Andre? I don't get that one. Try Korbel it is way way better. You want the real stuff, go for Gruet, you can usually get it for $16 bucks. and you can tell people their "champagne" came from New Mexico, which is a conversation starter.

While excellent suggestions, no doubt, considering the Love Rug they would be anachronisms and way too classy. Not to mention luxurious.

I like Brut and Aqua Velva. I guess I am retro but that is ok. I remember when Drakkar and Polo were all the rage, but you don't hear that much about them these days.

But they used their education and talent to do it. That is why I feel a certain satisfaction that he was killed and his partner injured.

I hear ya, I wasn't try to act like all that. I remember when Bartles and James was the daily drink and Lancers was the sophisticated imported wine.

I have not looked into it in years but the way I understand it, the Gallo family owned more wine than basically anyone. The Gallo name was low end, but they owned lots of high end wineries. A decade or so ago the kids took over and started selling high end "Gallo" wine. You don't see that anymore so I guess they gave up on it. I think I heard that Gallo produced more wine than all other states outside of CA. This is from memory, checking the net would be cheating in my world.

I love the one that goes like this: PDT says 1 in 3 women raped while trying to come into US illegally. CBS correction says it is more like 60 to 80%!
