About the item on the sidebar, regarding the theme from Shaft: I agree that the instrumental intro is dynamite, but I've always liked the big change at just before 3:00, when the music surges forward. Of course that's when Hayes begins his narration, which is not as good.

He was part of the1745 Jacobite rebellion. A large number of Scottish men were imprisoned in Britain, and not that many were released to their families. A good number were sent to the colonies to work as indentured servants. Some of my relatives ended up here that way.

And I was told my family has a clan in Scotland. A Scottish neighbor told me. Naturally, I can't find the tartan here in the States.
I'd settle for a tie, but that pattern isn't popular anywhere. Figures, although it's a rather common name in the land of my forebears.

93 I don't get the order of events here. The Brit has already unlocked the cell behind him, and let the prisoner out, and only now the wife is showing a chit that says he's hers, and the Brit is scrutinizing it. So if the chit hadn't passed muster, then, oops, back in the cell with you.
Posted by: m at November 15, 2017 09:46 AM (V+b9T)
The chit had already been checked for authenticity by the officers before letting her in. She's just exchanging the chit for the man himself. Mainly to ensure that no one tries to use the chit to gain another rebel's release.
Of course, since the door is already open, it's probably because the guard force is a little lax. The military jailers certainly weren't the elite of the armies of the day.

He's a Christian and a good kid.
As for Mugabe, I can't even type what I feel about that bastard, and Jimmuh Carter who made it possible for him to take over and rape the country.
I briefly date a Rhodesian rancher/Oxford grad who was a good friend of a guy I worked with in Atlanta. My friend hosted a reunion for his Oxford grad friends in ATL and asked me to join them for dinner, and I ended up going out with the rancher every night that week. He was sweet and kind, and asked me to come visit him in Rhodesia which, thankfully, I never did. I often wonder what happened to him. He owned the ranch his grandfather had owned.
Anyhow, please keep the good people of that country who have suffered so long in your prayers.

They are insanely expensive. I hate the colors of the Galloway tartan anyway (my family is "Scots-Irish" which apparently means they were Scots sent to Ireland and left for America as soon as they could) so I'm jealous of those who have nice tartans.
And, yes I know clan-specific is a fairly recent thing, but it does make sense that there would be regional differences based on dye plants available.

She had to testify before an English judge (or officer?) that her man was on legitimate business at the time, doing his job, when English forces swooped in and arrested every man in sight.
The look of determination on her face is perfect. She was going to get her man release and nothing was going to stop her. Even the Redcoat can't face her down.
If that is the jail cell, I'm not sure why she brought the family sheepdog.

Parliament, instead, had hired out a line of minor German nobility and called them Kings so that they could putz around in a palace and play dress up while in actual fact Parliament and the ministers ran everything - which usually meant for their own extreme profit.
The Jacobites position was, essentially, if we're going to have a King let's at least have a British King who has some connection to the people here, not some German meistkopf who doesn't know his schwannstucke from a stick in the ground.

Oh, I'm going to take you kids down memory lane.
Way back in the mists of time there was a new TV show called Saturday Night Live and the President of the United States, wanting to appear hip, appeared on it.
John Belushi played a Hispanic gang member. Jimmy Carter asked why he wasn't in school.
Belushi, heavily accented: "All they teach us is chit..."
Pause. Beat. Beat. He just said "shit" to the President on live TV. Beat.
"...and chat".
It was exquisite.

Little known Muldoon fact:
The lower classes in 18th century Scotland often used sheepdogs as transportation. The sturdy canines could carry a family of three quite comfortably for long distances. The loftier members of society eschewed this practice, usually scoffing, "I wouldn't send a knight out on a dog like this!"

Which is the object lesson that Zimbabwe is getting educated in this morning. Whether it's ancient Rome or modern dictatorships, if there's no publicly accepted path of succession when the ruler loses his effectiveness, the man who takes over is always the guy who is able to get control of the Army first. If an ambitious man can pull off that trick, it doesn't matter where he comes from or who his parents were.

Perhaps, but art is a very symbolic medium. It's very rarely shallow and needs its imagery to speak at multiple levels. How do we know that the woman loves this man? Her face is very expressionless (a very classical trait) and her gestures are very stiff. The dog is the key. As someone asked above, why is the dog even here? It is the emotional microphone of the scene. Notice, too, how the dog's face is right next to the held-hands (is that a word?), and it is looking right at them. Follow its line of sight and you get to the exhausted man resting his head on the woman's shoulder. Even though that is in low light, we see it clearly. The dog turns the woman from a dutiful wife into a loving companion.

"Constantine, who had most of his male relatives killed."
Pretty standard in middle eastern monarchies, any time period. (which is what the late Roman Empire was turning into)
Little known bible story - one of those that doesn't get taught - was that the very first thing that "Wise" King Solomon did after King David's death was to execute his well known older brother (the one who should have been the heir apparent) and also execute Joab, his father's right hand military man. Reading between the lines, it sounds like an entire faction got executed upon the death of the old King, which is probably why Solomon had such a long and peaceful reign.

Rush says that the child safety locks (that would prevent a door from being unlocked was not available until the 1980s. I didn't start seeing them until the 1990s. First ones I saw were a little switch on the car doors themselves that disabled the inside locks so that a kid could not unlock and open the car door from the inside.
The point though is that back in the 1970s you could not get even power door locks (the child safety feature did not exist then) only on luxury cars. At that time Moore was fresh out of law school and had just gotten a job working as an assistant DA in whatever town he was living in. Where would he get the money to buy a Cadillac or Lincoln?

There was no right to primogeniture in ancient times, or even in the Bible. Many times, the heir was the son of the favorite wife, or the kid that didn't piss the king off the most. Solomon was Bathsheba's kid. Joab had killed someone under David's protection, but David kept him alive because he was an effective general. The brother could not accept David's choice of Solomon over himself and tried to rebel. He was executed as a traitor. It wasn't a case of "get rid of a rival" like the Ottomans or Caesars.

And any car of that era, if the door locked from inside, it could be unlocked from inside. In most cases, simply working the interior door handle automatically causes the inside lock button to pop up. Even on cars with power door locks. Back in that era, police cars were about the only ones in which you could be locked in against your will.
And automatic door locks, that lock when you put the car in gear (loathsome crap)? Unheard of.

Regarding this Roy Moore "attempted rape" allegation and the locking car
doors, Rush talked about this yesterday, and the fact is that while you
could get a car with power door locks, as far back as the 1960s, you
only saw those features (also power windows) on high end cars like
Lincolns and Cadillacs. The average car (Ford or Chevy, for example)
almost never had those features. Indeed not until the 1990s, did these
features (power windows and door locks) become common on cars in
general.
Rush says that the child safety locks (that would prevent a door
from being unlocked was not available until the 1980s. I didn't start
seeing them until the 1990s. First ones I saw were a little switch on
the car doors themselves that disabled the inside locks so that a kid
could not unlock and open the car door from the inside.
The point though is that back in the 1970s you could not get even
power door locks (the child safety feature did not exist then) only on
luxury cars. At that time Moore was fresh out of law school and had
just gotten a job working as an assistant DA in whatever town he was
living in. Where would he get the money to buy a Cadillac or Lincoln?

The questions not asked..... Ma'am, what kind of car was it? Did you try to lift the little golf tee shaped thing on top of the door and pull the handle?
In many cars back in the day, if you pulled the interior handle on the car door the car door would automatically UNLOCK!

As wild as that theory sounds, it's the best one so far.
But now that I think about it, an assassination attempt against one
guy could've been done far more discreetly that a room full of automatic
weapons shooting up a country concert.

Very true.
However, if a large number of people die, they're not going to concentrate on the one person that did not die.

Usually assassins don't miss the main target that many times.
Posted by: Tom Servo at November 15, 2017 10:35 AM (k1TUh)
========
No, there could be a function to that.
I've actually thought this might be the case after it came out. What if there was a specific target in mind for assassination at the concert, and the fact that other people were shot was done on purpose so as to make it seem as if it was a spree killing by a nut, and that no one in particular was being targeted?
For example, let's say a spy enters someone's house in order to steal a safe he knows contains important documents. He'll also steal some jewels and other valuables and trash the place to make it look like a common burglary. So if the spy's country is accused of espionage, they can say, "Nonsense! It was just a break-in, nothing to do with espionage".

Purple wouldn't be a surprising tartan color since it is obtained from lichen and that would be fairly abundant.

Well, you can I fall in love with a Mexican girl. Go to Rosa's cantina, where Music will play and Felina will whirl. Blacker than night are the eyes of Felina, wicked and evil while casting a spell. Your love could be deep for that Mexican maiden. You'll be in love but you'll be able to tell. At night a wild young cowboy may come in, wild as the West Texas wind, dashing and daring, a drink he might share with wicked Felina, the girl that you could love. o in anger you could challenged his right for the love of this maiden. His hand might go down went his hand for the gun that he wore. Your challenge could be answered in less than a heartbeat, and the handsome young stranger would lie dead on the floor. So then just for a moment you could stand there in silence, shocked by the foul evil deed you did, and many thoughts could race through your mind as you stand there, so you would have but one chance and that would be to run. So out through the back door of Rosa's you could run out where the horses are tied. You could catch a good one, that looks like it can run, and get up on it's back and away you could ride as as fast asyou can from the West Texas town of El Paso out to the badlands of New Mexico. I mean, back in El Paso your life would be worthless, with everything's gone in life; nothing left. Then wait a long time since you saw the young maiden, and your love could be stronger than your fear of death. So then you could saddle up and away you go. Riding alone in the dark, maybe the next day, a bullet could find you, but while you are riding nothing will be worse than this pain in your heart. So when at last here you get on the hill overlooking El Paso, you'll see Rosa's cantina below. Your love might be strong and it could push me onward down off the hill to Felina.
Off to my right you'll see five mounted cowboys, and off to my left ride a dozen or more. Shouting and shooting, you can't let them catch you, so you have to make it to Rosa's back door. Something will be dreadfully wrong for you'll feel a deep burning pain in your side. Though you'll try to stay in the saddle. You'll get weary, unable to ride, but your love for Felina might be strong and you could rise from where you've fallen. Though you'll be weary you can't stop to rest. You could see the white puff of smoke from the rifle and feel the bullet go deep in your chest. Then from out of nowhere Felina could find you, kissing your cheek as she kneels by your side, cradled by two loving arms that you'll die for, one little kiss and Felina, goodbye.
Or you could get a guided tour.

My Dad had a rather fancy company station wagon in the mid-seventies that definitely had some locks that could be pushed down and not easily pulled up. Once we had to lock the door to keep a family member from exiting the vehicle while it was cruising down the interstate, so I'm confused about all this can't lock a passenger in business.
Also I haven't heard any news of Roy Moore being a serial killer but Ted Bundy had rigged his car without much trouble to not open from within.
Not all locks popped when you pulled on the door handle. I I were a fifteen year old girl fighting off a guy with his hand on my neck I'm not sure how quickly I could have gotten out of the car. Which, by the way, I did more than once to escape a male who had the wrong impression of what I might be interested in, so I'm not really sure what is or isn't possible.

how to turn off Cortana in Windows 10...
Even though I have all of the settings possible turned off on Cortana (voice recognition and tracking what you type - supposedly), it knew that I had a package coming to my house, and told me it can tell me when it will be delivered. I couldn't believe it.
So I disabled it today completely by fussing with the registry. I did create a RESTORE POINT before messing with the registry, just to be covered, and I seem to be having no issues after disabling Cortana on two laptops so far.
Here are the steps I took, and there is a link in this PC World article that brings you to a creating a restore point page, to ensure if you make a mistake, you can go back.

I'll take your word for that, but I think that checking the details of the story is actually a fair point. If it could be determined that one element of the story is a complete fabrication or ridiculously implausible situation, then it can lead to other details being questioned. Tang memo standard.
After 40 years, there are few verifiable details, even especially since we can't ever find the actual specific car in questions. But in these cases, if the accuser is speaking the truth, they seek to give verifiable corroborative detail. If they are lying, they speaking in vagueness to avoid corroboration. The liar has to walks the line while the truth teller puts a large stake in the ground.
Otherwise we are back to the hit job standard of its the seriousness of the accusation that matters not the reasonableness of the claim. She claimed he locked her in the car. That's pretty specific, and its that specificity that is giving strength to the claim and its that specificity that should be tested.
The questions not asked......Ma'am can you please describe the car. bench or bucket seats. Stick shift, or automatic. was it his regular car or was this a new one to you? Meaning he borrowed or rented one?

Based on what exactly?"
1) Not registered as a security guard in Nevada, even though he works as one there and should be. (can't do it if he's illegal)
2) Shares an SS# with someone named Jesus Quintero. (suggests he does not have an actual number of his own)
3) Left the country to go visit his relatives in Mexico shortly after the shooting.
I don't believe he's said anything untrue, but I think Mandalay Bay's legal staff recognizes that they are going to face huge liabilities if it becomes common knowledge that at least some, if not most, of their security personal are in fact illegals hired just because they're cheap and loyal.

I thought maybe the image CNN tweeted out had been distorted by photography because of lighting and angles and whatnot. Inks do sometimes shift color when photographed at different angles The explanation doesn't really satisfy because of other weirdnesses.
The "blue ink" part really does look like an addendum to an earlier inscription. I wasn't really buying the "'Roy'" looks like "Ray" look at the other vowels" expert(not) optnions until a very uncomfortable thunderbolt struck.
Is your old yearbook full of stupid rhymes? In my late seventies yearbook half the inscriptions are little verses and rhymes by people who liked me well enocugh by just didn't care enough about me to write something personal or just wanted to seem cute and clever and be remembered themselves.
It might explain the very quirky phrasing of the inscription which I first took as a sign that Roy Moore is certainly not good with words and probably half deranged as well as schmoozing inappropriately with young babes from the local high school.
To a sweeter (etc) girl I could not say/
Merry Christmas" 1977 - Ray
That doesn't mean the addendum is a hoax, even if it is an addendum.
Maybe he just appended his name to that post because he liked the sentiment, didn't get the rhyme, and thought he would just tack on his inscription to the girl - explaining the added date, and the different hand, and the different ink color.
Any way , TBveryH, I don't like Moore and would just as soon have it settled hes what they say. But that yearbook thing needs to be explained away.

the story is actually a fair point. If it could be determined that one
element of the story is a complete fabrication or ridiculously
implausible situation, then it can lead to other details being
questioned. Tang memo standard.
After 40 years, there are few
verifiable details, even especially since we can't ever find the actual
specific car in questions. But in these cases, if the accuser is
speaking the truth, they seek to give verifiable corroborative detail.
If they are lying, they speaking in vagueness to avoid corroboration.
The liar has to walks the line while the truth teller puts a large stake
in the ground.
Otherwise we are back to the hit job standard of its
the seriousness of the accusation that matters not the reasonableness of
the claim. She claimed he locked her in the car. That's pretty

and its that specificity that should be tested.
The questions not

seats. Stick shift, or automatic. was it his regular car or was this a
new one to you? Meaning he borrowed or rented one?
.
.
.Well then the first accuser's story must be discounted as her own mother said she did not have a phone in her bedroom, the key fact in her entire story which enabled her to take a phone call from Moore and leave the house unseen by her mother.

FWIW, there's LOTS of cars that had power locks from the 1970's and older.
To me, the attempted assault/rape stuff is suspect, but then you have to simultaneously believe that Moore was a perfect Christian Southern Gentlemen, but trolled for high school girls in his 30s. One usually follows the other in these situations. If he was upstanding, he wouldn't have been near girls that age.
There's simply too many people coming forward, with colleagues and townspeople, even security guards saying this was known he trolled malls, etc.
If this was a single woman making this charge, it would be one thing, but this is not some McConnell conspiracy. Way too many people in on it Even Bannon is now talking of cutting bait.

That'll work!
I tried that on a friend's ranch in CA in the 1990s. The regulations were absolutely ridiculous. They essentially required that his entire grape crop be destroyed before they would grant a permit.
But the venison chili I made was fantastic.

1. "IMMINENT domain" is wrong. "Imminent domain" would be domain that is coming Real Soon.
2. "EMINENT domain" is the phrase you're looking for.

I think he's every bit the creeper alleged, AND that the present attack is a carefully timed and cynical hit.
I actually still believe this woman was botherated by him, offered a "ride home," assaulted and that he drove off leaving her in a dark parking lot. Not the least because I was a teen in the late 70s, who didn't think much about ulterior motives of avuncular acquaintances of who would offer rides home or ride to work, and had a surprise necessitating escape. I had friends who had to fight off creeper dads driving them home from babysitting jobs. This seems possible to me, and the woman seemed to have been traumatized by it and ashamed of her stupidity, as I certainly was myself.
I'm wondering if Roy Moore just didn't append his yearbook sig onto someone elses. The guilty flee when none pursue, maybe he was asked to sign, but a bit conscious of his guilty intentions and that explains a choice ot append his sig to someone elses note?
I can't explain it but I wish someone would explain why it looks tacked on.

The point of that being "Ray" is that the first part is someone ELSE'S dopey yearbook inscription, some guy named "Ray" that she knew.So two ways to travel from there - Roy doesn't "get" the rhyme (or does, but close enough to "Roy") and appends his own name onto the earlier inscription. Odd thing to do, but maybe he agreed with the sentiment, and felt he could just adopt it, and/or he wanted to be able to say at some future date that she tacked it on herself. The guilty flee though none pursue, and he probably was aware that folks didn't take kindly to his trawling for teen dates.
The other way would be for her or someone else to append the original inscripttion to make it appear that Roy Moore signed her yearbook
