Starbucks Dials Back Their racialist Campaign

Dear Starbucks: 1. America is not a college campus. 2. You are not the faculty. 3. I am not paying tuition to take your exam. - David Burge (@iowahawkblog) March 22, 2015

RFK Jr. is Jenny McCarthy Without the Chest

Jenny McCarthy5

No, Army SF is NOT Preparing for Civil War. Sheesh.. (long)

Far from teaching SOF troops to operate the mechanism of a police state, exercises like Jade Helm give SOF troops critically needed experience operating against and inside the territory of a police state. Normally the "police" and "secret police" role players are selected from soldiers and real police. The "guerillas" can be conventional Army or Guard soldiers, or even ROTC cadets, friendly foreign troops, and in one case I'm aware of, were civilian volunteers. (The SJA put the kibosh on ever doing that again. Unfortunately).

How Nepotistic Are We?

Think about the N.B.A. further. The skills necessary to be a basketball player, especially height, are highly hereditary. But the N.B.A. is a meritocracy, with your performance easy to evaluate. If you do not play well, you will be cut, even if the team is the New York Knicks and your name is Patrick Ewing Jr. Father-son correlation in the N.B.A. is only one-eleventh as high as it is in the Senate.

...An American male is 4,582 times more likely to become an Army general if his father was one; 1,895 times more likely to become a famous C.E.O.; 1,639 times more likely to win a Pulitzer Prize; 1,497 times more likely to win a Grammy; and 1,361 times more likely to win an Academy Award. Those are pretty decent odds, but they do not come close to the 8,500 times more likely a senator's son is to find himself chatting with John McCain or Dianne Feinstein in the Senate cloakroom.

18 Repeat comment from false ONT.

The Leviathan is being somewhat pilloried in the comments section, with claims that it's a giant Dune ripoff.

Since Blomkamp (District 9) is involved in it, look for a heavy serving of a ham-fisted message in the movie. Perhaps the Leviathan is actually a gentle, intelligent creature, and our thirst for its eggs is akin to our "thirst" for oil and gas. Or maybe the Leviathan actually is the progenitor of the species in District 9 and wants revenge on humanity for our poor treatment of the "prawns".

40 In DC, the Display Ship Barry at the Navy Yard is going to be dismantled in place over the next months. The Douglass Bridge (aka. the South Capitol Street Bridge) is soon going to be rebuilt and replaced with a fixed span. The Barry has been sitting in the fine water of the Anacostia River for decades and the hull isn't in great shape. Since it will be stuck in place a couple years from now, it'll be gone by October.

Posted by: otho at March 23, 2015 11:07 PM (tBSrv)

43 I think the podcast talked about the Starbucks race thing and mentioned the Open Carry controversy as well.
How all the big swinging gun dicks that demand to walk everywhere with their AR-15 were going into Starbucks if the local law allowed it and Starbucks pulled the "we just want to sell coffee and not be the venue for a political statement."

Ace and them were wondering about how it went from not wanting a political statement to trying to really make one. They thought it was because of Ferguson. I think the answer is much simpler. The Open Carry thing is more conservative and they didn't want it there so they pitched the capitalist justification to stop it. Their #racetogether crap was good little white liberal thinking and thus they wanted to push it because that is how they think.

Hahahahahahaha

http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/heroinvaccine.asp

One of the fake advertisements created for that amusement was intended to skewer the anti-vaccination movement by asserting that "children who are vaccinated are 85% more likely to inject heroin than those who are not" because "vaccinations leave a lasting psychological belief that injecting is beneficial," but the image quickly began spreading across the internet removed from its original context. The mistaken propagation of this faux ad as something containing valid information was heightened when the group Feminists Against Vaccinations posted it to their Facebook page on 8 March 2015.

http://tinyurl.com/ku6wl9w


Dammit. Sucks that they can't keep a good exhibit open to the public.

Then again, the ozero fleet has sent countless good hulls into mothballs. You'd think the District could get a suitable replacement, with a decent history and another 30+ years of serviceable display life left in her hull?

But now. Cell fones for Convicts, matters more.

I loathe and despise every aspect of this administration.

I fail to see any reason for outrage. He couldn't sell tickets in advance for a campaign event if he hasn't formally declared the campaign beforehand.

Also, while it is Liberty, it's still a college as well. The kids might have to sit through it, but they only applauded if they felt like it.

211 So, over-under odds the 'Leviathan' is just a really whizzy 'Moby Dick?' With a bit of over-harvesting concern thrown in, despite the example of history making the case for carefully managing this critical resource until a substitute is found or synthesized?I find it remarkable that a crew with any measure of experience would just float in place while a massive pissed-off beast is lurking about with lots of cover. I would expect that to call for a tense evasion pattern of movement until they have a location for the beast.

Dude, it's Blomkamp. The blurb contained the magic words "forced labour". So, you're gonna get class conflict, at least... maybe even a slavery lecture. The man is a hack. At least Shyamalan has (or had) a good eye and cinematic sense. The Leviathan clip is the best I've seen from him, but as pretty as it looks, it's still by-the-numbers and video game cutscene looking. Maybe the finshed product will come across better, but, it's Blomkamp, so...

I told them that statement is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, because that assumes all men are the same...it would be like saying all women are stupid. The reply? "Yeah, but the difference is that we're telling the truth."

258 Navy Pier. Friend's dad, from southern IL, shortly after enlisting in the Navy, was one-half of the first fight on a card for a night of entertainment (a "smoker") there. His opponent was glass-jawed, fell with one punch. Glenn Miller's band was the other part of the entertainment.

This was 1942.

262 As for me, eh, I've had better days. I reached the
breaking point today with a couple of acquaintances who were going on
about how all men are nothing but spoiled children who never grow up. I
told them that statement is one of the stupidest things I've ever
heard, because that assumes all men are the same...it would be like
saying all women are stupid. The reply? "Yeah, but the difference is
that we're telling the truth."

How to save a potted gift rose


Although I do not profess to being any
type of expert on miniature roses, I
find the pretense of having "toss away"
roses obscene. That is what some people
have called them here on the mini rose
forum.

These potted gift roses (also known as
grocery store roses) can easily be
saved with very little effort.

Things you will need:

A large mixing bowl or bucket

 One 6" pot per plant or two 12" pots

 Potting soil  it can have slow
release fertilizer but NO water crystals

What to do:

1. Fill bowl or bucket with enough
water to cover all the roots of the
plants

2. Remove rose from pot and place in
bowl, let sit for a few minutes

3. slowly "swish" the rose plants back
and forth to loosen as much dirt as
possible from the roots

4. When you have gotten as much soil
off as possible, slowly start pulling
the plants apart. Be very gentle so as
to break as few roots as possible. The
best way is to jiggle the roots around
until one of the plants starts tilting.
Then slowly pry the roots apart. It
helps to return to water every now and
then to swish the roots around again. (
Note: donÂt worry if you loose some of
the roots. ..there really isnÂt a way
to avoid it from happening, especially
if there is a strong network of roots
growing)

5. When plants are separated, plant one
each in a pot or alternatively, several
around the perimeter of a larger pot.

6. Water pots and place in a well lit
place but out of direct sunlight for a
few days.

Notes:

Soil  Use regular, good quality,
potting soil. It is ok if it has slow
release fertilizer, but no fertilizer
is better. Do NOT use soil with water
retention crystals. (Although peat moss
is ok)

If the plants are waterlogged (the soil
from the original pot is soggy and
boggy, the leaves are all turning
yellow, etc) it is best to withhold
water for the first 12 to 24 hours
after replanting (this gives the roots
a chance to dry out a little and excess
moisture will be leached into the new
dry soil). After that time, water well
to make sure that there are no air
pockets from when you potted up. ( Â
note: this is after you have put the
rose in its new pot, you can still use
the bucket of water to separate them)

Keep the newly potted roses out of
direct sun for a couple of days. After
that, acclimate it to direct sunlight.

Once the rose is established (about 2-4
weeks after repotting) start
fertilizing. You can tell if it has
established itself when new growth
starts forming

301 I'm toasting my victory over the judicial system with a cheap/decent Spanish red. Jury duty. Actually get picked for a civil case, medical malpractice.

Judge asks if anyone thinks they can't be impartial, blah blah blah, I raised my hand and had a weird dialogue with His Honor explaining how it would be unfair to plaintiff for me to be on the jury, as I don't think jury trials are a suitable method of resolving medical malpractice cases. He doesn't really get it, but is slightly annoyed. (at end of this exchange I turned to Juror #5, next to me, and whispered "well that should take care of me", he laughed in agreement)

Defense counsel was querying jury collectively if they agreed they should be "directed" by expert testimony. Some mumbles in the box, lawyer repeated question (even less articulately the second time), I spoke up and said "uh, expert testimony should be CONSIDERED as evidence, it does not ordain or determine a verdict or a judgement". Judge interrupts to say "yes, he's right" and shoots me a semi-eye roll at the defense lawyer. My awe of the majesty of the judicial system and its personnel, to be honest, was taking some hits (!!!!!).

In our post-rational, post-constitutional, post-practically literate, post-American times, we hardy band of survivors can almost smell each other. So the college econ professor in the first row, after replying to a weird question from defense counsel ("what's the first thing of when you hear 'medical malpractice suit'?" WTF?) by saying "well, I know there's a whole industry built up around it ... etc." leans back and shoots me an eye-brow raising look.

Anyway, the plaintiff's lawyerjust blurts out me, and the college prof, as her two dismissals. Judge corrects her, says the two sides take turns doing this, one juror per turn. I get up, sit down, econ prof does the same, then judge says "OK what the hell you are dismissed numbers 4 and 7". Chuckles from all corners of the room.

As I exit, I whisper to the bailiff - referencing my volunteered (sincere, long-held) views on med malpractice jury trials - "gee, that's a shocker, me being dismissed, huh?". He laughed and nodded.

I've been called 3 times. First time it was spring planting. They made me call the judge and I was dismissed. Thought it was odd I had to talk to the judge, but our town, county seat is only 15,000.

Second time, planting time. Had to send in a form, dismissed.

Third time I think the case was dismissed, he plead out. I really wouldn't mine serving if it worked out.

MH, a regret with the duration of a fewnanoseconds did cross my mind - stay, and at least try to ensure that if the plaintiff has a poor case, he doesn't get anything. I resisted this feeling, successfully.

Other highlights.

Jury lounge staff who, despite doing this 4 days a week, sound like they have never seen a Vietnamese or Chinese name. Sheesh. Hilarious failed efforts to pronounce them over the PA.

Shmaltzy juror "orientation" video starts out with "CA is the greatest state in the country" - I heard at least two distinct snickers in the room, apart from my own incompletely suppressed guffaw. Also saw some heads shaking (older heads).

Also - the standard pablum about the constitutionand our unique American system now have gone from falling flat to being unintentional parody - for those who are aware and think once in a while.

The judge repeated some of the pablum, esp. about the majesty of the jury system (which, for criminal trials, I still somewhat buy). After our little altercation, I was dying to ask him if he had any experience of civil (Napoleonic, panel of judges) courts and trials. I'm sure he didn't.

And my only experience is hardly typical. Deep involvement in the only international humanitarian law trial conducted by a court of national jurisdiction (not like Nuremburg or the Far east tribunals or Rwanda, etc.)

348 I'm happy to see Ted Cruz throw his hat in the ring. I'm not inclined to support him for President right now for one reason... I think we need someone like him in the Senate, and if he leaves to Senate to become President we won't have anyone quite like him in the Senate.

Still, I'll be happy to support Cruz if my first choice, Scott Walker, implodes. This certainly seems possible, given the way Walker's sort of been pandering recently. What I like about Walker is his history of fighting the worst elements of the Left and winning. In a frickin' blue state (Wisconsin). And, he was born in another state that has turned blue in recent years (Colorado), so I think he can win both those states and thus open up new avenues of victory. But this recent thing of him pandering to the worst elements of the kinda-sorta Right that in practice tends to turn right around and vote Democrat has to stop.

I know I've made some fairly hard-line statements that it's Walker or I stay home, but I'm willing to bend on that for Cruz. Not for anyone else, though, I think. I will not vote for another Bush, or Christie, or Rubio. And Rand Paul will not get a single silver dime from me.

Did an endless trial in DC one summer. Attempted murder, drug stuff. Quite interesting. Do *not*, if young, black, and obviously incredibly guilty, draw a jury with lots of older black women. Hilarious. They wanted to draw and quarter the guy, just based on their (probably sound) horse-sense about such young men in their community.

Semi-fibbed to avoid a civil case. Uh, not just "a civil case". The second Microsoft anti-trust fiasco in federal district court. Sweet-talked Judge Kotelly-whatshername, semi-fibbed about an upcoming trip to Vietnam. Thanks be to Allah I did that, don't recall but that sucker dragged on for months.

I don't count today as cheating to get dismissed, as I have long held that view about malpractice cases. But seeing how unimpressive almost all the people involved were is a data point.Wow.

And I might look up the econ prof. Hard to imagine, but he sounded like a sane guy.

I'll do my best to give her some guidance, having been a moody and temperamental kid myself, but I don't know just how much I can do on that account. I know she'll have to be really open to my advice, and I could still very well advise her in the wrong direction.

402 #353: I know a pair of twin girls who are about to
turn three. I can already guess that one of them will probably get Cs
and Bs, while the other one could be a straight-A student or a D to F
student. She's smart and creative, but also really moody and
temperamental.

I'll do my best to give her some guidance, having
been a moody and temperamental kid myself, but I don't know just how
much I can do on that account. I know she'll have to be really open to
my advice, and I could still very well advise her in the wrong
direction.

At least both girls really like me right now, so maybe they'll listen to me.


Posted by: Prothonotary Warbler at March 24, 2015 01:06 AM (MSZQk)


Both of them need to be encouraged to go after their strengths.

My guesses? And they are just guesses. The A-to-D student needs challenges. Regular school will be boring.

As for the Cs and Bs student, if hooked up with the higher-achieving sibling the latter will take care of the former in class. I can assure you of it. But while this student can get the homework help he/she also needs to learn where to thrive outside the sphere of the twin. It's critical. That involves making relationships with fellow students and teachers.

436 NCJ, I can see that. Once you start putting a crap ton of money into the side pots, you can really put a lot of pressure on yourself to perform. You start putting all that money into brackets, high game pots, clean game pots you start to tense up. You want to take the money, and not lose. Sometimes it can really take all the fun out of it, especially if you are up against a known good bowler. Sort of like the movie Kingpin without the horrible comb overs.

Last one I know about was the "deepest darkest Berzerkely MoMe" from some years back. I was fortunate enough to have Dianna's husband driving me, so my memory got somewhat hazy some Bushmill's in.....

I'm not sure that NoCalMoMees are any more predictable than earthquakes. You kind-of have a vague feeling that we're due......but, then, we're always due.

When you say "commercial establishment", I'm not sure what sort of thing you are contemplating to replace this. Are you saying that we should have Morons doing a drum circle in Golden Gate Park? 'Cause going from one drum circle to another asking, "are you a bunch of Morons?" could make for a very long (and strange) night.

I went to two different high schools when I was growing up. One was in inner city school, the other in the suburbs of another city.

The inner city high school has had about 1/4 of our class die since graduation 32 years ago.

The suburban high school has had about 10 members of the class die.

Hell, I think more people in the inner city high school have been murdered than the suburban high school have died in the 32 years, and Roanoke's murder rate is real low compared to Richmond's of the 80's.

He was impressed by what cordial and pleasant chaps the RAF were...., then..., he signed on. Turns out the training staff weren't 'cordial' at all.

468 Mike H, I'm currently reading a book called "The Fighter Boys". The author is making the point that the RAF from about 1920 on was the least class conscious branch of the British military at the time. After 1935 they were desperate for pilots and trained maintenance crews. I'm about halfway through the book, and he's just now coming up on the Battle of Britain. What is truly a tragedy is that if the Battle of Britain was to happen right now, Germany would have won.

Then a really drunk older gal started talking to me. She was there for some bowling bus trip. Her friend came up and thanfully drug her off somewhere else.

About our meetup time a couple of couples come in and are looking around the room. Took a leap and tapped one of the guys one the arm and pointed to your badge.

I found them! We had a great time.

476 My last jury pool, old guy stands up, and says he needs to be excused because he's deaf, legally blind and narcoleptic. The jury pool worker says, "that's a pretty good excuse, and you will probably be excused," as the room laughs.

So I say "never mind excusing him, he could be a judge!" Room cracks up again, including the pool worker who says, "Wait a minute, why am I laughing? I work for them!"

479 Possibly the most chancy Moron-recognition situation I experienced was our original contact with Gushka, which was at Disneyland.




To begin with, a couple of digressions. The first of which is that I am fascinated by "Disney magic" -- but not the kind that ends up on the screen. You've seen one sappy g-rated manipulative bunch of Jungian archetypes, you've seen 'em all.




But Disney is freakin' relentless at separating people from their money and having them dance with joy afterwards, and this is shown in so many very subtle ways. They measure ambiance with food quality in their restaurants and tune them with micrometers to maximize customer satisfaction at minimal cost. To my knowledge, there is no one better at crowd control. Just like making a 3-act play, they raise tension to a mini-climax; raise tension to a mini-climax; then pour it on for the great catharsis in their live entertainment. There are surges of traffic after every show, parade, or fireworks.




And one of my "things" is that I like to watch a master at work. So, while others may watch a parade, I'll watch the traffic control. Others may be looking at getting exited through the obligatory gift shop, I'll be looking at fire exits and evacuation routes. Others may be standing in a crowd watching a performance -- I'll be watching how the run crew has preplanned clear routes to make their entrances and exits.



I was grinning like an idiot when I saw how the parks at Disney World moved incredible numbers of people at park-closing on buses. Each bus loads from the front six feet of their curbside, so the Disney guys rolled in a bunch of buses and parked them parallel to each other, but offset six feet. Then they had a queue area that forced everyone into single-file, which they turned like a firehose into one bus after another. They moved something like 30,000 people in about 20 minutes.




Anywho.....first time we met up with Gushka, we had about 8 clusterfucks going-on from the get-go [yes, I know, they're cheaper by the dozen....] and we ended up near the flagpole in the town square, trying to recognize someone we had never seen.....when a surge came through. It was like being in a swimming lesson and getting swamped by a wave -- you'd shrug it off if you were an experienced swimmer, but it really had me going.

487 I've been reading up about the beezes, and one book had a nice illustration of why it's best for beekeeping outfits to be white. It said, "imagine you're a bee -- which two of these is a threat?" and had pics of a guy in a white beekeeping outfit, some random hipster dude in dark clothing, and a bear.

488 Vaccinations cause autism. And we are experiencing global warming. And if you haven't experienced it, it's only because your immediate vicinity was colder than average, but everywhere else was getting warmeer, I assure you.

You must keep the faith, even when you feel like global warming doesn't exist. Climatological theologians call this problem the Hiddenness of Global Warming. But He is real, I assure you, and can dwell in your heart if you meditate upon you carbon footprint for an hour every day.

490 So, fun little tale -- the San Diego Zoo had a long-term project where they were going to have a separate park out in the boonies where they could "do it right" -- this is now the Wild Animal Park and is rightfully a treasured institution.



But when they were constructing it, setting-up the enclosures, landscaping the place, making it ready, and establishing animals there......it seemed like the Gulag. Hot, uncomfortable, unsafe, untested....many of the employees there were thinking "why does my boss hate me?"



So, they had a morale-boosting exercise. From the earliest plans, there would be a monorail to wind its way through the hidden parts of the exhibits and show the guests new facets of the animals on display -- and management decided to hold a contest among the employees to name this premier attraction -- surely THAT would motivate them! Imagine if YOUR entry were the one selected!



And after all the ballots were distributed and collected, a surprisingly-high number of them came back with "WGASA" on them. Evidently, some motivated staffers knew that wgasa meant something good in Swahili.....or maybe someone thought it was cool and convinced his friends and so on and so on......whatevs.



So, management declared the monorail to be the "Wgasa Bush Line" and all signage and advertising focused on that.



....despite it being well-known among the kinds of folks who clean animal cages....that WGASA was short for "Who Gives A Shit Anyway".

497 Well, everyone. Somehow I've managed to get sick, and find myself in the hospital receiving the second of 4 units whole blood, which will be followed by three of platelets. The surgeon at this joint, (which is not, as you probably imagine, efficient, or even competent), insists that I'll be sticking around for a week or two, and then me and Mr. Spleen will be parting ways.

I was transferred here, from my local hospital, because this 'big city' hospital is better equipped to piss me the hell off. Also, I think Moochelle got to them, because I asked for something to eat, and was rewarded with a dry turkey wrap, emphasis on dry.

My wife and I are already conspiring on how to smuggle some real food into this place. I favor the method by which we tie cheeseburgers to the backs of the hospital's rats, and use them as the key part of our distribution network. Scribble your room number on a fiver, and tie to any convenient rat. Just minutes later....a nice warm McDouble, and only partially gnawed, is yours!

Yikes! That does not sound pleasant in the least. Have they established a consistent narrative about what went wrong, what damage it's done, what immediate action must be taken, and what successful road leads out of the immediate crisis?

That's not particularly encouraging, being that spleens wouldn't be in there in the first place if they didn't do some good. Being the #1 spleen-removal surgical center in case of hangnails is not a particularly honorable spot to occupy.
