A little bit chilly here, but no snow to speak of. That’s generally a good thing, since a couple feet of wet, heavy snow really isn’t a good idea while the leaves are still on the trees. We haven’t really had a tough winter here in a while, and after this ungodly hot summer, I think we’re all expecting a lot of snow this year. I kinda like it, personally – especially now, since I don’t have to drag my ass out and drive in it every single morning. Not that I mind driving in it, but all these other assholes out there on the road can cause a lot of problems. Hell, I don’t even have snow tires.

Youngsters in a suburban Fort Worth school district are being taught not to sit there like good boys and girls with their hands folded if a gunman invades the classroom, but to rush him and hit him with everything they’ve got — books, pencils, legs and arms.
“Getting under desks and praying for rescue from professionals is not a recipe for success,” said Robin Browne, a major in the British Army reserve and an instructor for Response Options, the company providing the training to the Burleson schools.
That kind of fight-back advice is all but unheard of among schools, and some fear it will get children killed.
But school officials in Burleson said they are drawing on the lessons learned from a string of disasters such as Columbine in 1999 and the Amish schoolhouse attack in Pennsylvania last week.
The school system in this working-class suburb of about 26,000 is believed to be the first in the nation to train all its teachers and students to fight back, Browne said.

DENVER, Oct. 13 — The debate over same-sex marriage was a black-or-white proposition two years ago when voters in 11 states barred gay couples from marrying.
snip.
But this year shades of gray are everywhere, as eight more states consider similar ballot measures. Some of the proposed bans are struggling in the polls, and the issue of same-sex marriage itself has largely failed to rouse conservative voters.
In some cases, other issues, like the war in Iraq and ethics in Washington, have seized voters’ attention. But the biggest change, people on both sides of the issue say, is that supporters of same-sex marriage this year are likely to be as mobilized as the opponents.

Russia building nuke barge to power Arctic
….The Russian nuclear-energy company Rosenergoatom is planning a mobile plant to deliver electricity to hard-to-reach northern territories near the White Sea, where harsh weather makes regular coal and oil fuel deliveries unreliable and expensive.
The $200-million floating plant — slated for construction next year — could provide relatively inexpensive, reliable electricity to 200,000 people….
***
The Russian plan is to mount two reactors on a football-field-size barge, float it to a port, connect power lines to the mainland, and turn on the reactors, providing communities with affordable electricity.
The plant will store waste and spent fuel in an onboard facility that workers will empty every 10 to 12 years during regular maintenance overhauls. After 40 years, the normal life span for a nuclear plant, the decommissioned plant would be towed away and replaced with a new one….
***
One concern is that a boat could ram the plant and spill waste into the water….(A) nasty storm could cut the plant off from the land-based power supply required to run plant operations. Should emergency generators fail, says David Lochbaum, director of the Nuclear Safety Project at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a Chernobyl-like disaster could ensue….(A)n overheated core could melt through the bottom of the barge and drop into the water, creating a radioactive steam explosion. Such a cloud could do far more damage than the plume of nuclear fallout kicked up by the 1986 explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the former U.S.S.R., Lochbaum notes, because the human body absorbs radioactive water droplets more easily than it does radioactive ash

From a new book, The Queens Wardrobe by LIESL SCHILLINGER Published: October 15, 2006:
It could be a tabloid cover story: A 14-year-old girl is wrenched from her mother’s home and transported across state lines, stripped bare and paraded before a crowd of jaded adults. The girl’s only comfort, a pug dog named Mops, is taken from her, and as strange eyes assess her nudity with frank stares, she breaks down in tears. It sounds like a situation that calls for an Amber Alert: what it actually is, though, is the factual record of what happened when Archduchess Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna of the Austrian Hapsburgs was handed over to the Bourbon court in 1770 to become the bride of the dauphin, Louis Auguste, the future King Louis XVI of France. Relinquishing her nationality with her clothes, she donned a “gleaming ceremonial gown made from cloth-of-gold” which transformed her into a human embodiment of the French monarchy. With that dress, she took on a new identity and a new name: Marie Antoinette, dauphine of France.

China had another addition to a population that hovers on the brink of extinction but is crucial to the nation’s image. Zhang Ka had given birth—after a difficult artificial insemination, a five-month pregnancy and 34 hours of labor—to a pink, hairless, half-pound cub, the largest in China’s 43-year history of artificial panda breeding.
Pandas are notoriously finicky maters, especially in captivity. Females are in heat an average of only three days a year. The Ministry of Science and Technology claims on its website that the country now has “the highest level panda reproduction technology in the world.” At Wolong, veterinarians anesthetize and inseminate the female population every spring. A few hours away, at the Chengdu Research Base, pandas are shown videos to get them in the mood—a practice that the Chinese press has dubbed “panda porn.”
China bankrolls its panda-spawning initiative by leasing animals to foreign zoos. (A U.S. zoo pays $1 million dollars a year to host one.) The program has been hugely successful, sparking a population increase of, well, Chinese proportions. Five toddler pandas slept 10 meters (11 yds) from where the veterinarians examined Zhang Ka, products of an unprecedented breeding boom last year. This year, the veterinarians again broke records, with 27 cubs born in China in August and September—17 of them at Wolong.

Well, that’s certainly an interesting article, and not much there that most of us aren’t already aware of. But, is it genocide, or civil war? If it’s genocide, is the US the perpetrator? Most definitions of genocide I’ve seen include “systematic” and/or “deliberate” killing of one group of people (based on their ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, politics, etc) by another. I don’t know that the mass murder brought on by the US invasion and occupaton (and the civil war) is particularly discriminating.
I’d have liked him to follow up somewhere in the article on the question he poses in the first sentence, “[w]hen does ‘collateral damage’ so dwarf combatant deaths that war becomes genocide?”
That’s an interesting and provocative question. Too bad the article doesn’t answer it.
Devotchka is my favorite band to see live because I can’t stand still when I hear them play. They are amazing live and recorded and I play them for friends every chance i get. But, I went to go see them just tonight at the Marquee in Tempe, Az and I will NEVER go to this club ever again. I don’t care if they get Jimi Hendrix to open for Devotchka. The band was awesome as always but to see them I had to succumb to a search of my person including taking off my shoes, a pat down and emptying my pockets, at which time my key ring was confiscated. I wondered how my key ring(which was a typical rock climbing carabiner clip thing) was more dangerous than the keys themselves?? Unbelievable. But what was more unbelievable was how docile everyone was about it. The girls wearing the black mini dresses and platform boots that had to take them off, showing the little tennis socks they wore over their sexy net stockings to keep from getting blisters, didn’t seem to mind that their whole aura of cool was ruined by this intrusion by “security”. This really bothered me, a lot. I couldn’t stop thinking about it the whole show even though I enjoyed the show. Devotchka is one of the only touring bands that I make a point of seeing because they can make me forget for a little while that I am living in scary times. But if I have to succumb to these kinds of searches, I won’t go to that club. I’ll drive to Tucson or even LA first to see them if I have to. It really put a damper on the show for me. I hope they don’t play there again. There are other places that don’t need to treat their patrons like terrorists.
Wow, they confiscated your carabiner keychain? What the hell did they think you were gonna do with that? You should send a protest letter to Maverick McCain – he’ll get this straightened out!
Oh yeah, I don’t need McCave on my side. If he gets involved they’ll likely start searching body cavities.:roll:
It occurs to me that all this security really does nothing to secure anyone. Seriously, my keys would have made a better weapon. I could have smuggled something in my underpants easily enough, they didn’t pat me down there. And as my friend said, “my whole body is a weapon, Andy”.
And whatever happened to bouncers taking care of things when/if they happen?? Cripes, it’s too late for us. Kids are used to being searched because they get it at school. It’s normal for them. :crap:
I wanna know what Maverick is hiding in his cheeks. Looks like room enough for fissile material for a small nuclear weapon. Half on each side – he squeezed his checks together (face cheeks, that is) really hard, thereby attaining critical mass, and boom.
Well, I guess that’s why I just don’t get out much anymore.
I don’t go out much either and now it will be even less. No wonder I feel like running for the hills all the time.
About all I feel like doing these days is winning the lottery, and building my hi-tech earth-sheletered home where nobody will ever be able to find me. I feel like I’m struggling to move around inside a huge bowl of jello. The unflavored kind, even.

We were aware that Bush’s invasion has caused the deaths of 1 in 40 Iraqis?
Yes. There is a need by Roberts to explain his intention for the term genocide. Roberts likely used the G word for shock value. But still…Can a civil war become classified as genocide? Both sides are doing a lot of discriminating killing. Would this have happened without Bush’s invasion. Battle of the Somme?
Enough flailing. 1 in 40 dead is a high ratio.
Love this old Beatles song, “Come together”
Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups…
wikipedia
I used to hear people make the distinction between ethnic cleansing and genocide. One is, in general, the driving of one group from a particular area. Lots of killing and hardship. But the atrocities stop once the “goal” is reached. Sunnis and Shiites seem to be engaging in ethnic cleansing. And genocide…
Anyway, Roberts was probably trying to express his shock at the high ratio of Iraqi deaths as a result of Bush’s invasion.

We (here) were aware of the Lancet reports (the most recent one, and the one in – I think it was – 2004); perhaps not having “done the math” to come up with about 2.5% of the population having died as a result of the US invasion and occupation, but we surely knew that 650,000+ is a huge number.
Fine to use genocide to shock the reader, I suppose, but to bring it up and abandon it I found unsatisfying. It’s not just a matter of symantics. I would have liked to hear more about it (define what his definition of genocide is, discuss how collateral – even “unintentional,” if that’s what it is – deaths of civilians can be termed genocide, maybe discuss how “indifference” to civilian deaths is tantamount to deliberate mass murder). I think all of that would make for a very powerful article.
National Trust For Historic Preservation To Pay For Andy Rooney’s Upkeep
NEW YORK—The National Trust For Historic Preservation announced Monday that private fundraising efforts will allow the organization to maintain dilapidated, run-down CBS commentator Andy Rooney through 2016. “Although we lack the funds and expertise to rebuild Rooney completely, future generations can come to know this irascible curmudgeon the same way we do,” said NTHP president Richard Moe. “It is important that this vital artifact from America’s rich past not be left to suffer the same fate as New York’s Penn Station or Walter Cronkite.” When informed of the $25 million endowment, Rooney made a phlegm-laced three-minute speech on the first ten things that came to his mind for which the money would be far better suited.

New Order – Shellshock
http://71.8.9.181:8000/listen.m3u
The latest Sacramento resident to be questioned by federal agents in possible threats against President Bush is a 14-year-old girl with a heart on her backpack and braces on her teeth, a freckle-nosed adolescent who is passionate about liberal politics and cute movie stars.
Her name is Julia Wilson, and she learned a vivid civics lesson Wednesday when two Secret Service agents pulled her out of biology class at McClatchy High School to ask about comments and images she posted on MySpace.
Beneath the words “Kill Bush,” Julia posted a cartoonish photo-collage of a knife stabbing the hand of the president. It was one of a few images Julia said she used to decorate an anti-Bush Web page she moderated on MySpace, the social networking Web site that is hugely popular among teenagers.
… The couple are disturbed, however, that federal agents questioned a child at school — without her parents present. And First Amendment lawyers question whether the Secret Service over-reacted to a 14-year-old’s comments on a Web site made for casual socializing.

Bush keeps revising war justification
By TOM RAUM
Sat Oct 14, 12:40 PM ET
WASHINGTON – President Bush keeps revising his explanation for why the U.S. is in Iraq, moving from narrow military objectives at first to history-of-civilization stakes now.
Initially, the rationale was specific: to stop Saddam Hussein from using what Bush claimed were the Iraqi leader’s weapons of mass destruction or from selling them to al-Qaida or other terrorist groups.
But 3 1/2 years later, with no weapons found, still no end in sight and the war a liability for nearly all Republicans on the ballot Nov. 7, the justification has become far broader and now includes the expansive “struggle between good and evil.”
http://tinyurl.com/y5fd2s
By now you would think that Bush, Cheney, Rove and their ilk would have learned the first rule of lying: get your story straight.
But Bush gets partial credit for subscribing to the George Costanza theory: it’s not a lie if YOU believe it.

Well if a running mouth will run you into jail then someone best stand by to bail me out. It would be hard for me not to get smart with these thugs.
No. You get in trouble when you try to be civil with them (if you are somehow a suspect). SILENCE IS GOLDEN! Torture is illegal here.

Hey Cnick! :boobs:
Can I email you some music files?
certainly, my email is rhubbar7@yahoo.com
I’ll send one or two at a time.
Oops, I may have sent that twice.
I just sent one song at 3.5MB
Coolness! :fist:
I don’t really know how to pronounce it either. I’m guessing it’s ar-mog. ??
Depeche Mode was my fave for a couple of years. Yay! an older one! This is from the first album.The name escapes me.
I love gay dance music! I used to go to Hot Bods when I was a teenager. Fun times! :yippee: :dancers:
Devotchka isn’t necessarily gay dance music but it is very danceable.
Not me.
I think I updated it the last couple of days

Just go to the pound and the humane society and look and you will find a dog just the size you need. If you have a dog in an apartment you’ll need to walk the dog twice a day. It’ll get you out.
listen to me please,

Its cold here…less so in the city, where I have been spenging my time lately.
I hate that hospital, but it looks like tomorrow he gets out.
I just went to his place and cleaned the back room so that there is someplace for aide/nurse/me/mom…whoever…..
I am working really hard…no help from sisterand little from Mom, but I want to be able to go away next weekend, so I need him to be safely set up….
I think that once he is home he will feel so much better….I cant really believe that he is making it out of there without a hospital infection. The social worker told me that hospital infections kill more people than AIDS and heart attacks…..
Dane Cook on SNL…ugh!
Nick I am going to try upstairs…this computer is seemingly non compatible with your mac system, but upstairs is fine….hmmm
give me a few mins, OK?
It sounds good over here.

Maybe someone thought it was 4am PDT
