Low Content ONT
S-a-t-u-r-d-a-y, NIGHT!
What, nobody else remembers the Bay City Rollers? Wildly popular as I was in elementary and middle school. I still remember my first school dance. Disco was king, and I felt I should have some “chains” to wear. I wore the chain from a bathtub plug around my neck (I took the plug off first. Hee! I should have left it on, I might have started a trend a la Flava Flav and clocks.).
Now that we have the embarrassing story section of the evening out of the way, on with the ONT! Just think, only 6 more days until we're done with the president's grand strategy of playing 3-D chess with foreign foes.
What Are All The Farqwads Up To?
Making Shrek memes. This is apparently a thing. Like this:
or this:
I'd smh, but who am I to talk? I once wore a bathtub chain to a dance.
America Between LA and NY Chrris Arnade is a journalist in the old school sense of the world. He goes out and reports on the parts of America that many coast bound media types eschew. Last year he traveled all over the U.S., rustbelt, sunbelt, deep south, wherever, just talking to the people he met. It's compelling stuff. (HERE COMES A LINK!-------->) Here is the first entry in a couple of hundred tweet long tweetstorm that he put out about 2016. Each tweet is a picture of someone he met or somewhere he went, along with a description (in 140 characters or less) of them and their lives. Interspersed with the pictures are links to a few (not many, maybe a half dozen) articles that he wrote while he was on the road. If anything, scrolling through the tweetstorm reminds me of the best aspects of the old Life magazine. Unlike Peter Fonda, this man went looking for America, and he found it everywhere. America may still be the land of the free and the home of the brave, but decades of policy shaped to serve the needs of the coastal elites (of both parties) have also left it the land of the fix and the home of the rage for too many others. You'll also find moving examples of faith, love, joy and patriotism. It will take a while to work through all of the tweets, but I encourage you to do so. I've had it sitting in my queue as ONT fodder for a couple of weeks now, and haven't used it because it deeper than most ONT stuff, but I'm using it tonight. Please do go read.

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina wins Twitter for the week, and maybe the year, with his one word destruction of a left wing asshole:
Boy, those tolerant lefties, they sure love to throw around the N word, don't they? Kudos to Senator Scott for dropping the hammer (and the mic) on this troll.
Related: Yahoo Finance may be looking for a new social media person this week. What they MEANT to tweet out was a link to a story about Trump wanting a “bigger Navy”. Unfortunately, the B and the N keys are right next to each other, and what they DID tweet out was....quite different. (I won't embed it, but you can see the tweet at the link if you're so inclined. Warning for N word) What's really amazing is that while there was some predictable outrage and pearl clutching, I think most people understood that it was an innocent mistake, and black twitter turned the typo into a mocking hashtag, with side splitting results. You can search it on Twitter if you're so inclined, much of it is quite amusing. Maybe we're making progress.
NFL News This week the San Diego Chargers announced that they are moving to LA. The family that owns them is worth billions, but they didn't want to pony up $175 million to fix their stadium. When the taxpayers refused to pay, the team, er, bolted. They announced the move along with unveiling a new, lame logo.

Idiots, All of Them
In case you haven't heard, Philadelphia just enacted a huge tax on soda and most other similar drinks. Massive New Soda Tax In Philly Is Leaving Residents In Shock So, would anyone care to guess what happened? That's right, the cost of drinks skyrocketed, and now the mayor of Philly is spitting nails furious. Philly Mayor Blames ‘Price Gouging’ for Outrage Generated by City’s New Soda Tax Of course he does. A box of soda syrup costs retailers $60. The gross (before expenses) profit per box is $20, and the city levied a tax of $57.60 per box. That means the city is charging three times what a distributor makes, and that's before he pays employees, the power bill or anything else, expecting him to just eat the cost. These people are insane.

Well, according to the story, a tax of $57.60 is applied to each 5-gallon box of soda syrup at the wholesaler's gate.
Maybe the answer is to sell "sugarless" soda syrup, also without artificial sweetener, and simply put bowls of sugar cubes on the tables.

And they simply cannot believe that a news organization would slant coverage to favor a candidate. They marvel:
The tabloids' lockstep behind Trump may be the greatest aid and comfort a major publication has given to a presidential candidate since the 1936 campaign
Since 1936! (Sure! You've just got to look past the cushy treatment every mainstream paper gave Clinton and Obama. And Kerry. And Edwards... Sheesh.)
Anyway, the Politico article is worth a click just for the collection of awesome pro-Trump Enquirer covers.

It's like liberals have no concept of science:
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Give everyone "free healthcare" that isn't free? P*ss off half the nation.
Raise minumum wages to $15 an hour? Businesses close.
Make soda tax 1/2 the cost of soda? People stop buying soda.

garrett, I tried to play the Montrose LP you sent me tonight, but it turns out my new phono cartridge is a lemon.
Apparently the stylus wasn't seated right, as the rest of the cartridge is literally crushing it. Record wouldn't stop skipping.
Anyhoo, I already have a replacement on the way from Amazon. Will let you know when I can officially spin the thing.

Overrated, and promoted because it was an allegory of the "blacklisting" (that never really happened) of Hollywood commies. Make a movie about how brave, wonderful and persecuted Hollywood-types are and it will be made a classic, even if no one watches it.

I thought it was the opposite. If there isn't enough weight pressing down, it skips. Sometimes people would put a penny on the arm above the needle to push it down and make it stay in the groove.

OK.
First. Take the LP off the deck.
Next, flip the 'guard' down (if the cart has one).
Now, Back off the counterweight on the end of your tonearm until the arm is balanced/neutral...it should float, not dive or fly away.
Zero Out your weight.
Now, Dial up 1.5g on the counterweight, to start...
Report back, and use a shittier record to test with!

Probably. They might throw it a bone in a technical department... but, maybe not. It actually doesn't warrant one in any of those departments, FX, sound, editing etc. It was low budget and nothing flash. BUT... it was the film of the year, for my money and was kickass entertainment. Deadpool warrants a nod in either best actor (Reynolds), best screenplay (terrific), or best picture. Best director is out, coz it was really only competently directed. Will it get one? I doubt it.

Had helpful conversation with her ex-. He's been in touch with Jorge (hubby) and this is good. They've confirmed that it is a glioblastoma (so?) as we'd feared, and surgery is off the table. They'll begin radiation and chemo soon (I think Thursday). Glen tells me that it's not the kind that makes one nauseous/ill, more fatigued.
She *can* have visitors while this is in progress.
He did recommend that folks visit sooner than later (winter vs summer), likely talking months, not years. But no way to predict if will accelerate.
She's on steroids to help reduce swelling, which may help with speech, etc.
Also had good convo with Jorge abt CaringBridge, and he thinks that's a great idea, so will get him set up with that ASAP.
Please keep praying for her.

For example: did you know that the Illuminati/Globalists/ New World Order are also called the Cabal, and right now, as we speak, Marines are killing them in their underground bunkers?
You see, they're no longer in control. Brexit was huge for them, and Trump put the nail in their coffin.
But they have a get out of jail free card when the Tribunals start. It's related to... Atlantis.

OK.
You can do this.
Your Stylus is at the end of your Tonearm.
On the oppostie end of your tonearm is a bulbous knob that looks like a Robot Glans.
The Robot Glans is your Counterweight.
It's etched with hashmarks and numbers to tell you how much weight you are putting on your stylus. (Approximates is more like it.)
If your stylus got crushed = Too Much Weight
So. You want to relieve that weight by rotating the Robot Glans counterclockwise (away from the stylus).
To do this properly, you should follow my instructions, above.

Seems very revealing to me that the real purpose of the tax is the same as for all taxes - to raise more money for the assholes in the granite buildings to spend and use to feel important.

Jim
Sunk New Dawn
Galveston, TX
Similar story: I was on the car ferry, crossing Lake Michigan, normally a 4 hour trip. Left MI at 9 pm, due into WI at 1 am. During the crossing, lighting struck the radar and knocked it out. We made it across, but couldn't land in the dark, so the boat circled all night, just outside the harbor. At 9 am, when fog lifted enough to see ahead, they landed the boat by putting a lookout at the bow, who shouted directions to the captain in the wheelhouse. The passangers were all up on deck, shouting at the boaters (fisherman) below: "Where are we, we're lost", etc. A 4 hour trip turned into 12. Luckily, it was one of only 2 times I had a cabin. Felt sorry for folks who had pets in their cars below, or babies who may have run out of diapers, etc. The ferry did feed us breakfast but know that folks missed weddings, connections, etc. Good times.

People who didn't care about their albums did that. In the old days one used a stylus force gauge to put the proper weight of a needle on an album so you didn't cut the grooves and wear it out. It's easy enough to guesstimate at it though. Start where it sort of floats then go one line on the weight at a time until it stays on the record.

Ok, Unforgiven is great, one of the best, especially for the last 15 mins. But it does not hold a candle to Tombstone 'in the totality.'
Tombstone had great performances by Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, Michael Biehn, Kurt Russel, Powers Booth, Bill Paxton and Charlton frickin Heston.
Not to mention, if we are not just talking the last 20 years there are a lot of other movies on the game board.

Anyway...
"I still remember my first school dance. Disco was king, and I felt I should have some 'chains' to wear.
"I wore the chain from a bathtub plug around my neck (I took the plug off
first. Hee! I should have left it on, I might have started a trend a la
Flava Flave and clocks)."
I'm utterly charmed when men share stories like this. These stories have gotten a bum rap as the stuff of females. Nothing captures transitions like our memories of the bridges to adulthood, and onward. I'm blown away by the chain from the bathtub. Just.Blown.Away. I love it.
Now, the difference here is that this is adolescence. The story is told with simplicity and utterly lacks drama and angst. There's the merest touch of self-deprecation. You can choose to project more of these qualities into it, if you wish. But those minimal words are deliciously unadorned and unapologetic. It sounds like you know who you were and you're OK with that guy, instead of distancing yourself from him. Maybe that's why it works for me.
My first dance was in junior high. This was after MLK's assassination and the summer of rioting that followed, and then, of course, the Chicago Democratic National Convention. All that was background stuff in my life. I was busy doing my own thing, as most 13-year-olds are. Anyway, 'Hey Jude' was hot then, and it was to 'Hey Jude' that I danced my first slow dance with a boy. The fashion was to drape your arms around the guy's neck, even if you didn't know him. That was a very odd thing for me, as I wasn't comfortable with boys. But he asked me to dance so I did what was expected. I give him credit for that, since I was slightly taller than him. I think I held my breath the entire time and just stared over his shoulder.
Any way, this guy's name was Dave, too. He was the first guy in my class to shave (I'd be curious to hear how the rest of the guys feel towards that guy in your class). He was pretty popular in junior high.
Mom made me a beautiful deep wine dress with a scalloped collar - she was an excellent seamstress - and helped me fix my hair, and applied just a little eyeshadow and marcara. "Less is more."
And I've taken that to the max (at least when it comes to makeup).

But as a person? I've read that when he wasn't directing films, he would literally spend months at a time in bed, drinking heavily and shitting himself.
Ford also had a big thing about being seen as a tough guy, and would oftentimes antagonize Wayne and other actors for no reason at all, except that he could get away with it. He believed it improved Wayne's acting, but Wayne was great in everything he did, with or without Ford.

Another I like is Fort Apache. It stops me in my tracks whenever it's on and I have to watch.

During the filming of 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", he caused a lot of strife between John Wayne and Woody Strode. Woody Strode said later that if it wasn't for John Ford's ribbing and trash talking of John Wayne, they could have been friends.

I don't understand why the geniuses in charge of spending tax dollars always use the revenue from deterrent taxes to start new programs. They're trying to get rid of the practice they're taxing, so why make it a cash cow? Shouldn't it be put it in a rainy day fund, since you're hoping to stop the behaviour?

I know it is likely to get me shunned, but I never really much liked John Wayne. Always seemed like a complete asshole in anything I ever watched him in. But then, I usually turn it off before watching much.
So, if I really want to give Wayne a chance, what's the best movie to watch? Are there any where he keeps his asshole nature to a minimum?

Well, my natural inclination is to post sarcastically. I would recommend... Quiet Man. Rio Bravo. High and the Mighty. Each of them has a more 'reserved' Wayne, for whatever reason.
This shows how people can watch the same thing and come away with completely different views. I never got a hint of that from any of Wayne's performances.

She backed me 100%, even if she tried to do the mother/friend thing and failed miserably. She couldn't be my friend then, being mother was her real job. I quickly learned that I couldn't "tell her anything" and I still can't. Not if I'm dependent on her understanding instead of her judgment.
Whenever I recall these wonderful things she did for me, I always give her a call and thank her. Our relationship was full of strife for many decades, and I'm wise enough now to see how her upbringing impacted her. She's told me things that give me insight, and of course I've gained wisdom over the years. She desperately needs approval, and I happen to have a bushel basket to extend her way. I no longer bear any ill will towards her, or resentment for her being other than what I wanted. The fact is, she held back nothing. If she didn't give it, she didn't have it.

*** begin message relay ***
A certain absent tentacled horror wants ibguy to know about a gizmo whose CEO is really passionate about it and really believes it makes a
positive difference.
I live and work in Silicon Valley. At a prior position, I was working with an inventory guy who had previously worked at a medical devices
place that made special radiation machines for applications like brain cancer.
One reason the inventory guy didn't work there any more was because they had a build error on one of their units and the radiation source
didn't move right and killed the patient. And the CEO did a speech to the factory floor and inventory crew and said that instead of the
company's product helping, it had killed someone -- and that the factory and inventory crew needed to do whatever it took to not have
that happen again. The CEO really believes in his product -- good.
Fuck cancer -- good. The CEO took personal responsibility to talk to every corner of the company -- good. The mental stress became totally
intolerable -- not so good.
It would be nice if ibguy were informed of the existence of such a gizmo so that he might investigate whether that type of treatment were
available or appropriate.
*** end message relay ***
And that's all that emerged from the ink stained email which wafted inland here, with the fog.

I do not disagree, but I think the older movies used the idea as accent that really worked. The scarlet cloaks of the Romans. The blue of the sky. These served to give a story book quality to the movies. It was realer than real.
It was not unlike how Spielberg used color to accent things in Schindler's List.
However, I do agree, it is way overused now- unless it is saving private ryan, in which they bleach the color palette and call it 'art'. The bleaching is something I have more problems with than the over-saturation when it is used, honestly.

So I replaced all the spark plugs in the car that I'm planning to fix for a friend, and got it started, and warmed up, and driven into the shop. Even filled a pressurized-water fire extinguisher with tepid water, and hosed off all the road salt it accumulated on its trailer ride up here.
I figured, as long as I'm outside, and still comfortable, might as well look at the fuel pump relay on the '97 Suburban which gave me grief on the road home from Arizona last week. So I found the pin on the relay that sends juice to the fuel pump, and wrapped a wire around it, and plugged the relay back in. Connected that wire to a 12 volt source, and the truck started as soon as I turned the key. And the next time I went to start it, it started on its own OK. I'm still going to order a new fuel pump and oil sending unit, but at least I have a means of using the truck in the meantime.
And because it warmed up some, I was able to do a steak on the gas grill. Woo-Hoo!

Meathead opposed the new tax because people would either cut way back on cigarette purchases or buy bootleg smokes, therefore reducing his piece of the action.

I watched The Searchers on the big screen downtown in Albuquerque a couple years ago with one of those "meetup" groups.

Magnificent Seven has to be on the list. I really loved Silverado, although I know a lot of people aren't fond of it. Pale Rider and Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are great. The original Stagecoach with young John Wayne is a masterpiece. The Wild Bunch is simply an amazing film. Pekinpah got something wrong in all his other movies but that one he got it all right. The Outlaw Josey Wales is loads of fun, and of course Unforgiven and High Noon are very powerful.

I'm making some progress, being tired of the stale smoke smell and annoyed by the process of rolling my own. I'm working on my last bag of tobacco, which could last maybe 2 weeks. I'm trying to be firm about not buying another. I'd expressed the desire to quit before my birthday, so this would work.
Can't promise Friday though, but if you'd be kind enough to scout out the territory of nonsmokinghood and tell me it's safe, that could help.

Shane is another great one. It also had a lot of depth, the 'weary gunslinger tries to hang up his guns' trope really started there, I think. Plus, the first thing I always remember was how dramatic and loud they made all of the gunshots in that movie. They were really emphasizing it and what it meant for Shane's character.

i) John Wayne's character in the Searchers was not racist, he had spent enough time among the Comanches (was it them or Apaches?) that he knew their culture and beliefs.
2) Shane. Dead at the end? (I have an opinion).
C) Magnificent Seven. No. 2 Son and I couldn't get through it even though we're Steve McQueen fans. I raised my boys on Seven Samurai and that movie was ridiculous. (I know this is not a Horde-compliant opinion.
quatro) I fell into a Sergio Leone hole because some mean network had a marathon last weekend, saw parts of each of the man with no name trilogy. They're not really good, but it's fascinating to see the good parts that Tarantino would later steal and that Leone would synthesize into the brilliant Once Upon a Time in the West.

Wyatt Earp. A few years ago, in the gun section of a large outdoor store in Reno, a nice young clerk was helping me (think I was looking for 45ACP magazines and a few other small items). Name tag had a last name of "Earp".
So after a bit I said "well I have to ask, your name?". He said "yes, definitely related". He said some relative, I forget how close/what relation, had been approached by the producers of (I guess) Tombstone to sign some releases or something, can't recall details.
So that's sort of cool, relative of Wyatt Earp helping you out in the gun section.

Oh golly it is a great book. I got it from Ace. You want to read it before you try quit. (And it is Alan Carr, not Carson. My mistake.) I quit for a whole 2 months and it didn't bother me a bit. Then one day.... I found a full, unopened pack in my car. I tried to give it to a bum on the corner, but he didn't like menthols...so I just had to try one and that was that. I know I can do it, but I am so ashamed of my backsliding that it almost makes me not want to try.

She'll probably go similarly, but not because anyone is afraid of her, rather because she doesn't have anyone in her life who actually loves/cares for her. She doesn't have friends or loved ones, only toadies and hangers-on, and now that she can't provide them with a path to their own personal wealth and power, they'll vanish, leaving her alone and isolated. Only the Secret Service detail will be around her, and they are counting the days until she snuffs it.

Fant4stic wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good, either. And they cannot seem to comprehend the characters at all. Its like they have sort of heard of the Fantastic Four from some anime a guy was describing on the train one day and made a film or something.

with simplicity and utterly lacks drama and angst. There's the merest
touch of self-deprecation. You can choose to project more of these
qualities into it, if you wish. But those minimal words are deliciously
unadorned and unapologetic. It sounds like you know who you were and
you're OK with that guy, instead of distancing yourself from him. Maybe
that's why it works for me.
That was sweet of you Miley, but I tell you, it isn't the stupid things I did as a kid that bother me, I wouldn't be the man I am without being the kid I was after all (remind me to tell you about the time I blew my face off sometime). No, it's the stupid things I do now that bother me. Most of the kids stuff pales before that.

I saw both, through their bitter ends. Both were boring as hell. I view Kurosawa's version as an experiment in story-structure: can you get the audience invested in seven characters at the same time in a two-hour movie. The experiment failed, like Michelson-Morley failed: cinematographers could learn from it.
And then Hollywood came along with Magnificent Seven to prove that it never learns.

Fair points on some bits of Magnificent Seven. Yul Brenner's scenes are fantastic. Steve McQueen is underutilized. I did not like Robert Vaughn as the gunfighter who has lost his nerve.
The biggest problem with the movie is it has the 'too many stars' complex. It tries to spread it's time equally and it suffers narratively as a result.

I think I was that way, too.
I quit once with the nicorette gum as a replacement. But that has a weak nicotine punch, and I thought about cigarettes constantly. Relapsed after about 6 months.
Then a couple of years later I quit again, using the lozenges, which are nothing like the gum. They're just about as good as cigarettes, nicotine-slamming-into-your-bloodstream-wise. I sucked on those things for about a year, and quit thinking about cigarettes altogether. (And then for whatever reason, quitting the lozenges turned out to be pretty easy.)

Kidding aside, comedy is pretty subjective. BS is hilarious partly because it is parodying an older time. One people growing up in the 50s and 60s (I caught a lot of it in the 70s and 80s because my parents were old school) were so inculcated in the cowboy movie culture.

Snuff-taking (nasal, not oral) gives me a quick punch of vitamin N, lozenges when I can't snuff or vape work quite well. Still have my pipes and all the works, but I regard them more as objects d'art now. Nicotine is really something, though. Stimulant and sedative, neuroprotective.

The beauty of Philthy's 'soda tax' is that it is a wholesale tax, not a retail tax. So the city gets the tax money whether individuals buy soda or not. The only way Philthy does not get tax money is if every retailer stops buying sodas/syrups from distributors and retailers quit selling sodas altogether.

Not really. I have been paying about $40 a month, maybe for juice.
Still, if you can cut the cable entirely, do it.
My biggest problem was it took a good year before I felt like I was not... 'duller' mentally when quitting cold turkey. That is probably why the e-cigs worked so much more effectively. Fed the addiction without the outward bad physical effects of smoking.

Then he found out he needed a quadruple bypass. He knew he was going to be in for a bit of a recovery, and not be able to smoke for a while. The day he got admitted to the hospital he stood outside if the main entrance, smoked two cigarettes, and those were the last two he ever had. Stopped cold turkey. Said it wasn't difficult, as something just "clicked", and he never even really wanted one again.

I commented that it wasn't surprising that the people who were massacred, had their buildings blown up and their women raped didn't particularly care for it or the people who did it. There was a short silence, and then they went on like I hadn't spoken.
I personally think the Euros were damned fools not to take their rotten rafts under tow and drag the rapefugees' asses right back to Africa and dump them off at Tobruk. The rapefugees screwed their own countries up and now they want to leave the craphole they've created and go mess up some other place. This problem isn't Europe's problem and their governments shouldn't subject their people to suffering this invasion. Make no mistake either, an invasion is exactly what it is.
Since I'd see every rapefugee dead before I'd let them turn my country into a steaming, murder-filled fecal pile like every place in Africa, I'm beginning to think I don't fit very well in this church. I'm seriously thinking of not attending any longer.
What the Hell has happened to people that they've let their sense of self-preservation atrophy so completely?

They still believe that they are not in danger, so the more ephemeral need to be accepted by the group is more powerful than self preservation. As long as it is someone else's daughter who is raped and killed. As long as it is someone else's son who is shot at a market. They can keep on going in their little bubble because that is what they are told to think and feel by their betters- and they want to belong.

You want embarrassing?
Here goes:
February 1985, my college girlfriend and I go to visit her sister about an hour away from our schools. We had just recently "done it" for the first time, both virgins. We met her sister and her boyfriend for dinner at an Indian place. After eating, I felt a little odd, but thought nothing of it.
We get back to her sisters apt, and her sister says she is spending the night at her boyfriends and that we can use her bedroom. We get into bed, and the sheets are satin. Every nerve ending on my skin is pretty much on fire by this point because the feel of satin just does something to me.
I start pouring the coals to the girlfriend, and boy howdy am I sweating. With all the newish sensations I'm feeling, I really don't know what's going on, and why I'm now drenched in sweat, but I keep pushing. Then, the moment of shangrala approaches, right at the same time that the Indian food hit. All three orifices within moments of each other.
Needless to say, we washed those sheets about 6 times that night.
And to this day, I cannot even stand the smell of Indian food or curry.

Summer I was 14. We're at my grandparent's cottage in Maine. I am poking around the attic, and I find a genuine antique powder horn, and it's full of black powder! God only knows how long that thing had been up there (and I wish I still had it, it was made from a real buffalo horn. My parents quickly disposed of it for reasons that will become obvious shortly), but boy, what a find for a 14 YO boy!
Now, I'm smrt. I knew what black powder does, I'd seen dozens and dozens of Bugs Bunny cartoons. Black powder is a cheerful and amusing invention that chases Yosemite Sam around with a little flame. So I went outside, and I wrote my name on the street in big cursive letters. Then I bent down and touched a match to one end of the powder trail, absolutely KNOWING that I would be treated to the spectacle of a happy little flame tracing my name in fire.
In that moment, perched on the cusp between childhood and adulthood, I learned one valuable lesson:
When introduced to fire ("Hi, how ya doin bro? Good, you?"), black powder EXPLODES.
And explode it did. Right in my face. I suppose I'm lucky that I didn't lose my sight, but I closed my eyes in time. I reeled back from the explosion, clasping my hands to my face, which was now covered with first and some second degree burns. My hair was on fire, blazing like a torch (Dad came running out and started smacking my head to put it out). He took me inside and laid me on the porch swing, and I was screaming and crying. My younger sister thought I was dying, and she started screaming and crying too.
Now, Dad's a doc, and he saw immediately that all of the damage was topical. He treated the wounds, but I had a very bad few hours. After that, I just had to shield my face from the sun for the next few months.
And that's the story of why I spent my 14th summer under a great big straw hat.
Heh. Black powder explodes. Who knew?

At least you had the benefit of being 14.
When I was in my thirties I was a husband and parent with a new old home which had an unruly backyard. I was dedicated to hacking out all the growth and making it a lawn. (It looked like it may have been a decorative garden in the 1920s but no one had looked at it since).
So I hacked and sawed and hacked but there was this one unruly bush that wouldn't go, so I decided to burn it out.
I poured gasoline all over it because why not.
Now, at the time I thought that explosions required fuel, oxygen, a spark, and pressure. I really thought you needed containment to make anything go splodey.
So I lit my Zippo to start the fire. I had just filled the Zippo so there was still fuel on the side. That stuff burned my hand so I dropped the Zippo. Zippos don't go out when you drop them.
That was the day I learned that there's a thing called a fuel air explosion. Lost my eyebrows and arm and leg hair and some of my beard. Very grateful that I was wearing safety glasses.

The BIOS recognizes one of the two hard drives I tried, a 20 GB maxtor, but it won't boot from it. And when that drive is in the loop, the DVD rom won't boot, so I can't use the disk recovery utilities to examine it. I thought I had put Kubuntu Linux on that drive a while ago, but I don't know for sure.
My next thought is hook up a brand new SS drive I have, and see if I can load Linux Mint 17 onto, seeing as I have it on a DVD.
Any bright ideas out there?

I used to know that and the various limits like the palm of my hand, but I've forgotten them all now.
There were all sorts of BIOS and other limits on hard drives, with various kludges being invented along the way as disks got bigger and bigger. There was LBA mode, and a translation scheme to make it back compatible with this and that.
First I'd try to plug the drive in another computer and see if it could be read, and if so, then start digging around the partition tables.
And dammit, it makes me mad when I forget stuff like this. But those DOS/BIOS limits are ancient history now.

AOP, I wish I could be more help. SO it's an old PATA(40 pin IDE) then? I remember something about IDE CD Rom drives not cooperating right with actual IDE hard disks in some cases.
You've made sure the master/slave jumpering is correct I assume? IIRC, some time in that ancient past, the standard was two PATA connectors on the motherboard (sometimes more with some of these RAID functions built in the mo/bo). And they recommended not putting the PATA CD drives on the same channel as the hard drives, because of that glitch that could happen on some BIOS and mo/bo configurations.
I'd try to see if I could read the hard disk in another machine, check the partition tables, making sure the MBR was correct and the active boot partition flag was set for it and all that.
And then I'd check to see if it would with just the hard drive on the IDE channel.
I wish I could be more help, but I've forgotten.

It used to be the case that you had to set the pins on the drive to master or slave, plus have that match the cabling and bios. And, of course, you have to have the boot order setup the way you want in the bios.

Well, that has given me something to go on. There are two IDE ribbon cable sockets on the MB, marked primary and secondary. It seems to recognize the "existence" of the maxtor 20 gig drive only if it is plugged in to "secondary". BIOS auto HD detect sees it as a Maxtor, 20 gig, number of cylinders and tracks are right, but maybe all that is in the firmware on the drive's board. Could be the drive is just kaput.
But I was trying to run both HD and DVD on the same ribbon cable. I have more ribbon cables, so tomorrow I will try putting the two on different channels.
I also have a brand new Gigabyte MB, all SATA. I should get off my ass and build a machine with that. My plan was to build a "portable" PC: basically a desktop box configured to fit in a suitcase or large attache, with a 23" screen in the flip-up lid, and the rest of the goodies in the tray part. Corded keyboard that can be lifted out, ditto for mouse. Setup would be darn near as fast as a laptop, but with a much large screen, and the ability to service it.

So, you are basically building an updated Compaq portable from the 80's. AKA the suitcase portable. 9 inch screen in amber if I recollect. Damned thing weighed a ton.
Don't futz around with an old mb if you have a new one. And recommendation to run cd and hd on separate ribbon cables is excellent if you stay with the old board.
Posted by: Headless Body of Agnew at January 15, 2017 04:17 AM (FtrY1)
Also, check out the BIOS access mode. There was DMA then "Ultra DMA", UDMA, which was increasing transfer speeds over the cable. The fastest needed an 80 conductor cable, with a separate shielding ground. The connector was still 40 pin, but with a dedicated ground connected at the end points to shield each of the signal wire.
Somewhere in the BIOS settings for the hard drive, you should see an Access Mode entry. A really older drive couldn't handle the faster UDMA modes. There was a numbered sequence of UDMA modes, UDMA mode 1, .... mode 5 and mode 6, with mode 6 being the fastest.
And some CD and later DVD drives, wouldn't do UDMA (didn't really need to, since reading was much slower than a hard drive).
And so sometimes a higher access mode for one drive wouldn't work with a lower mode for another drive on the same channel.

Back for a few minutes. I have been messing with an old desktop
computer. After some travails, I got it to boot from a DVD drive with
Hiren's Boot Disk in it. Got the Win95 mini on the disk running, but
it's pitifully slow, think a lack of RAM accounts for that.
The BIOS recognizes one of the two hard drives I tried, a 20 GB
maxtor, but it won't boot from it. And when that drive is in the loop,
the DVD rom won't boot, so I can't use the disk recovery utilities to
examine it. I thought I had put Kubuntu Linux on that drive a while ago,
but I don't know for sure.
My next thought is hook up a brand new SS drive I have, and see if I can load Linux Mint 17 onto, seeing as I have it on a DVD.
Any bright ideas out there?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 15, 2017 03:22 AM (bG+ug)
If you're talking win95 era, there may be a couple issues with getting the DVD to boot with the Maxtor. Make sure your cabling and drive jumpers are correct. Master/Master, Slave/Slave. Boards of that era typically had primary and secondary channels of IDE cables, and sometimes, peripherals were also picky about wanting to be master on their own channel. I'd put hdd as primary master and the DVD as secondary master, and ensure your jumpers are correct.
Also check the bios boot order. It should fail over to the DVD if the hdd has no bootable partition and OS, which leads me to think cabling/jumper issue, but tech in those days was not known to fail elegantly and informatively.
If you are talking about a solid state disk, by SS, I would be surprised if that tech would work in that desktop, if only because of size limits.
I have been recovering data for the last several days from a failed raid array. Two things that have been instrumental. I installed slax (lightweight linux) on an older P4 box, which is allowing me to pull data off the old drive and keep working. I recommend slax. I also found Parted Magic (available on CD) to be a godsend in resurrecting my drive. Specifically TestDisk on Parted Magic, which I used from a USB drive allowed me to resurrect/correct the master boot record of the disk without it being able to be recognized in windows. After that, it went in the P4 box, which would not boot from USB, which is why I had to go with the slax CD.
Also helpful when doing this type of work is a USB-IDE or USB-SATA adapter, which allows you to bring up the OS, say on a live CD, then plug in the drive via USB for examination, outside of having to deal with the disk trying to boot. The one I got for USB-SATA was crap and the disk kept dropping out, or I would recommend one. These adapters are also the bees knees as you can do this sort of work from a modern laptop with a USB key with all the utilities on it, like Parted Magic.
Lastly, check out YUMI, if only because it is and makes this sort of work so much easier.

Hi right back at you, rickl.
Here's a picture of Fritzi Massary:
http://tinyurl.com/jxpkanm
Who she, you ask? During the early part of the 20th century, she was a leading operetta soprano in Austria, fleeing that country for America in 1932. Over here, she doesn't seem to have done very much except, as a Beverly Hills resident, play hostess to the expat German-speaking community of Hollywood.
I mention her because Sir Cecil Beaton, set designer for stage and movie versions of My Fair Lady, lobbied for her to play the small role of the Queen of Transylvania. But, as he later wrote, "She had originally said that she would be very expensive, but it seems her agent has opened his mouth so wide that 'Casting' is thunderstruck."
The role finally went to Bina Rothschild, an Austrian émigré who had been a Hollywood hostess for years, but never performed on stage before.
