Stream of Consciousness ONT
Hey, it's ONT time. What's this one about? No clue. Seriously, not one clue. I mentioned yesterday that I had lost all my tabs with content, so I'm winging it. We usually open with a picture, don't we? Lets see what a GIS for “picture” brings up. Oh, look, a prairie dog drinking.
Alright, enough of that. What's next? Actually, what's next for me is dinner. Been working 15 hour days lately, and it's chow time. Lobster. Yum. That's right, lobster. We COBs are living the life of Riley, at least until Riley reports his credit cards missing. Here's a picture of a lobster I ate last month.
I love that when Sara Palin is asked by NBC News,"Have you ever experienced sexual harassment in the workplace?"

He's a (not too rabid, thank God) lefty, but I recommend Ken Levine's weekly podcast. It's a grab bag of stuff from his careers in TV sitcom writing, 70's radio Dee-jaying, and other stuff that strikes his fancy. Usually about 30 minutes long and drops every Thursday. kenlevine.blogspot.com and his last couple of episodes are at the top of the page. On iTunes, too.
Also Adam Carolla's podcast is usually a lot of fun. It's a morning-show format with a lot of different and interesting guests. And Gina Graad sounds sexy as hell.
I used to subscribe the Escape Pod short science fiction (stories, so it's like audiobooks) podcast, but they've turned way too SJW since Steve Eley moved on. Their older (before episode 300 or so) catalog is quite good, though.
And there's a Baen podcast that often includes interesting interviews with their authors and a serialized audio retelling of a featured Baen novel weekly.
I like some of the NRO podcasts, but I know they're in a bad odor around here.

At Amazon, I guess I'm on a Monin syrups kick. I got the Mango (which was great!) and the Dutch Chocolate (good but not exactly super-chocolaty). Now I have the Lime, which is also IMHO pretty good but could be just a tiny bit better. Glad I bought all of them though. Next I want to try their Cinnamon and their Coconut.
Also, I bought a box of "Iconic Candy" Reed's Cinnamons from Amazon; I thought they weren't available anymore. Good news: the retread still tastes good; the bad news, the lozenges don't look half as beautiful as the old ones did. Then again, it's the taste that matters most, I guess.

There are a number of thing just in the short piece but this jumped out at me.
First.
"Steele has revealed in London court filings that he did not distribute the dossier to anyone outside of Fusion GPS, British intelligence, Arizona Sen. John McCain and one of his associates, David Kramer."
McCain and his associate Kramer got copies in Nov. 2016. Kramer from Steele himself and within the next day McCain got another copy from Fusion GPS head Simpson.
But the reporter for the Guardian wrote...
"In October an email written by a person in the Clinton camp reached my inbox. It set out some of the unproven allegations against Trump, including sex with prostitutes in Moscow. The email said the claims came from a source inside the FSB. This was not Steele's work, but some of it echoes the dossier."
The Hillary camp was peddling the "pee-party" story to reporters in October and claiming they got it themselves from the FSB. Either they had their own contacts with the FSB or they were upset that the Steele "dossier" hadn't gotten traction with the press and were feeding some of it to reliable left reporters trying to get it fed into the US MSM.
Also it seems that the "dossier" was the main part of a briefing on the Congressional Intel gang of 8 in August 2016. Russians talking to and about Carter Page were the main topic. This is a month before a FISA warrant was issued to grab Page's electronic communications which happened after he left the campaign.

gracias for the kind thoughts, as we say here in #Failifornia...
Flonase is a steroid, and my immune system is already a hot mess, due to 3 anaphylactic reactions AND ulcerative colitis...
the GI docs at the VA keep trying to put me on immunosuppressants, because it's easier for them, and i keep telling them i don't want to be like Glen Frey, dying of pneumonia at 64 (or younger) because they killed what's left of my immune protection.
they really don't give a shit about individual patients, they just want to lower their patient load, and if that means filling us full of drugs so we'll go away and die faster, they're good with that outcome.
to them it's a feature, not a bug.

Even in New England you can't get a good lobster unless you catch it yourself. The few days that they spend between the trap, the pound, and the market change they way they taste.

She also has had a prodecure where they go in the artery in the thigh, cardiac catheterization and zap the part of the heart that is sending the incorrect electrical impulses. She's had this procedure twice.
She has a leaky mitral? valve that is causing the problem.

True, but (oh no I feel a rant coming on)
If you buy them at a f***ing supermarket they might have been treated with some sort of bullsh!t chemical that causes them to swell up with water and makes them f***ing impossible to brown in a pan. They will just exude tons of water and expire into a bunch of useless scallop threads.

That was Dave Grohl's opinion when he first heard them. Watched some doc he did where he went to some of the cities he toured in but never really visited and checked the music scenes out. When he went to Nashville, he (and Foo Fighters) visited the Zac Brown Band and Dolly Parton. It was kind of interesting actually.

If you are gonna freeze crab, mix in a bit of either buttermilk or coconut milk... the high fat content does an amazing job preserving the flavor.
2 weeks ago I processed 24 drabs we pulled up, 40 pounds of whole crab. Did 1/2 Bmilk 1/2 Cmilk (we do a large amount of asian dishes). Taste tested last week, amazing!

Bluebell - shanked anyone lately? Do tell!
I guess we are 'pre-engaged' I followed the advice of several fine Morons and gave her a promise ring... she flipped, in a good way, lucky for me... she's a keeper and we are going to go visit her family next April... going to ask her dad to propose and give an engagement ring...

Rob Crawford #199: Smaug. He was the voice of Smaug. So iconic that Jackson tried to mix Cucumberpatch's voice to match.
It failed.
Dang! I probably once knew that Boone voiced Smaug in that Hobbit flick. -- I was trying to play on the name Paladin, of course, he overexplained.
Now I need to dig my copy of that out of the catacombs and watch again. I think I have it on 78rpm.

Some screenwriting points. Make sure you include...
1) Touching philosophical insights into the human condition. Regret, hubris, longing for the unobtainable, are all good elements in characterization.
2) Sharp dialogue that resonates with the viewer. It should be real and it should hit home.
3) Include boobs. As often as you can come up with ways for chicks to get their tops off.
4) Include really, really big boobs.

Saw Megadeth twice, both times at the Fillmore in Denver. First time was the World needs a Hero tour (2001), with Al Petrelli. Great show. was up on the barricade. Second time was election night 2004. Dave kept tabs on election results and told the crowd that he had voted for Dubya. the response was surprisingly positive.
Good times.

1) Touching philosophical insights into the human condition. Regret, hubris, longing for the unobtainable, are all good elements in characterization.
2) Sharp dialogue that resonates with the viewer. It should be real and it should hit home.
3) Include boobs. As often as you can come up with ways for chicks to get their tops off.
4) Include really, really big boobs.

Regarding Manson.....
My Dad was a corrections officer at Corcoran in the SHU where Manson was housed for many years. Had to deal with him all the time. Two things he mentioned about Charlie.
First is that Manson HATED to be called "Chuck". So of course, when he started getting froggy (which was quite often), the COs would just stare him down and say "whatever......Chuck". He was a coward, so he'd always back down.
Second is that that evil fucker always had visitors on visiting day. Always. Even 20 or 30 years after he was tossed into the slam. And not lawyers or journalists, but people who idolized him.
People suck.

One huge stumbling block confronting QT's Manson Family movie, is that he relies heavily on pop/rock classics for the soundtrack. He's going to pushing shit uphill to get The Beatles for the film, no matter how much they offer. It's integral to the story and pretty crucial to making such a movie well.

After History of Rome try History of Byzantium! Picks up exactly where HoR leaves off.
The series is up to episode 157 (1025 ad) and will poke right along to the year 1453.
https://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/
Another one I like is History of Europe: Key Battles.
The title is misleading. It's mostly about the events leading to key battles. For example the one about the Battle of Hastings (1066) spends a minute or three on the battle and 35-40 minutes on previous 3-400 years of English history.
The episodes on the Crusades and Islamic Spain are tremendous.
It's ongoing. Made it up to the 15th century so far.

I know I'm supposed to like Dan Carlin, but the man just has diarrhea of the mouth. Edit, man! Edit! That said, I've watched a couple of fairly recent interview with him on YouTube, one with Talks at Google and a 3-parter with Dave Rubin.
My favorite history podcast is History According to Bob. He keeps it short and sweet and his topics are wide-ranging.

She was producer/writer/showrunner on all their series. I would have thought, springing from that Buffy/Angel environment, she would be super-sensitive to such matters. Guess it was all in retrospect! which should be the title of the volumes of books that will pour forth as feminist confessional.

Seriously, dude, I could not make out a word she said, until she reached the "I'm a Hoe" line. And that, only because I was expecting it. It's a common problem with female pop singers these days, they just don't enunciate properly. Sounds like they are singing from their uterus.

You know what isn't a benefit of OTA television? Doing stuff during commercials. Watching a show on cable, that you pay for monthly with your primitive earth dollars, you can see a commercial come on and know you have time to get up, take a leak,* make a sandwich, grab a drink, and come back without missing anything. You're not even watching a show! It's like a commercial montage with show breaks. Free TV that comes directly into your living room straight from the æther? Haha, nope. you get 60, maybe 90 seconds, then it's right back to the grinding slog of the content you wanted to watch in the first place.

Final Draft - great for writing movie, TV or play scripts
Scrivener (which I've never used) - great for writing a classic novel, short story or non-fiction work.

Halfway decent audio recording tech just wasn't available yet before the late 1940s, when (as I understand it) the Allies discovered BASF perfecting tape technology.
I've always noticed the audio tracks of movies made before 1939, always just don't seem that clear to me, though preserving them via optical tracks was probably the most reliable and high-tech way they possibly could have been preserved. I think the first movie to really concentrate on the audio 'sound', and tech, was The Wizard Of Oz.

Ministry is interesting. A super hard rock sound, but Al Jourgenson never forgot to include the catchy hooks and melodies.

Ah, OK. I know Scrivener has templates for different scripts, but I don't know enough about the art or the tools to know what features are useful. I've only ever used it once, to compose a guest post here. It sure is a pretty thing to open and stare at blankly until you realize you have no inspiration though!

Here is free advice, worth what you are paying for it: print out your completed draft ten pages at a time. Check for what I like to call burps, or blank spaces where there should not be, where the software might not have adjusted when you went back to alter anything.
This is something I have never trusted to be bred out of that system! And it saves you from having to correct and reprint whole drafts.

Electronic, i.e. amplified and balanced, recording was invented in the late 1920's and was practically universal by the early 1930's. And a well-recorded 78 has decent fidelity.

I really like the Metal / Hardcore incarnation of Ministry.
I always thought they took heavily from Big Black / Steve Albini during those years.
Crazy fun shows, too.

$45 full price from their website. I think it was on sale for $20 when I got it. I'm not trying to sell it or anything, just wondering what distinguishes it from FD or whatever other packages people use. It falls into the same category as, say, video editing software or garage-class stick welders or a woman's loving touch or combine harvesters or hi-fi recording gear - I have no experience with it, am unlikely to ever encounter it, and am just curious about what features are worth paying more for.

Remember, much of the audio you hear from that era is being reproduced from recordings, be it acetate records, or film, that has been treated less than well, and the quality has suffered. And in many cases, the techs are indifferent to the quality, or figure "it all sounded that way".
Clicks and pops can be removed from records. I have done it myself with the freeware program Audacity. And you can do filtering to boost or cut certain audio frequency bands to make up for known characteristics of the original recording equipment and/or the EQ's they used.

"The submarine fleet is suffering from lack of maintenance and training. The submarines accumulated a total of only 19 hours submerged in 2012 against a minimum requirement of 190 days."
WELP.
With only three boats, their op-tempo is probably outstripping their maintenance pretty hard too. Warships in dry dock aren't boner-inducing for politicians the way warships at sea are.

They may be seeing an uptick in that "time-submerged" stat soon, although not necessarily the way they want it. But I hope that's not the case for the crew's sake.
