So it is September, and there have been no updates from Astoria regarding the Fake Orca, or its crazy-looking pilot. Here is a real orca eating a seagull to assuage your suffering.
So it is September, and there have been no updates from Astoria regarding the Fake Orca, or its crazy-looking pilot. Here is a real orca eating a seagull to assuage your suffering.
So, you know, the whole Donald Trump thing: hilarious, no? This headline alone is almost cathartic, not do mention the volume of digs a real pro like Roy Edroso gets in. I've spent a lot of time over the years being grumpy about how easily the GOP base falls in line once the party apparatus starts getting heavy-handed, and suddenly all that seems to be collapsing. Like all sensible people, I'm waiting for Trump to be sabotaged in the primaries, run as an independent, and ensure the biggest GOP failure in a presidential election since the party was formed.
The big problem with this, is that Trump's current position is already so improbable, that I don't really feel safe assuming that's going to happen. While a lot of the "this is the beginning of the end for Trump" has been wishful thinking on the part of GOP pundits, it really is true that he's had a lot of opportunities to fall down, and all of them have seemed to bolster him in the end. I guess I feel like given how strange this race has turned out I'm not willing to be totally confident that the GOP isn't going to run trump, and while I think that would be a disaster, I don't feel it's guaranteed.
So I guess we can take bets on whether the post-apocalyptic wasteland will look like Ridley Walker or A Canticle for Leibowitz.
So as you can see, everything more or less fell apart here. At any rate, here are a bunch of nice pictures from France without narration, because that would push the whole thing back even further.
So to start, here are some things I forgot to add from Albi. First, and most importantly, here I am flipping off Paul Gaugin's works and, by extension, the "artist" himself.
Here's a shot across the river there.
Here is a cool glass structure placed inexplicably atop an otherwise normal building.
On Friday we went award-winning winery Domaine Merchien. I took a picture of their wall of awards, but it came out fuzzy. Instead, here is the winery's namesake leaning against my mother because it was 100 degrees out and, as you can see, he's not really made for warm weather.
As part of our visit to the winery, the proprieters booked us into L'Auberge du Mas d'Aspech. We got lost and showed up 45 minutes late, but it didn't seem to be a big deal. The food was wonderful. I'd say the highlight was this quiche which, as you know, is one of those things at which the French leave the rest of the world far behind.
Here I am feeling a bit smug after a wonderful meal.
So traveling around Quercy has been pretty nice. We've been revisiting some of our old faves.
This is a tiny church in a hillside town whose name I always forget.
By way of contrast, here is the incredibly huge cathedral at Albi.
Here I am, inevitably, feeling lucky.
Here is Jesus looking a bit furtive.
Here's Joseph looking like he had a few too many last night.
So somebody has written a book that appears to address all of my interests. I hope it is translated into English soon.
I have arrived in Quercy. The travel day was made a bit more difficult by one of our party being delayed out of SF, which
created a rather dramatic knock-on effect that resulted in my hanging around the Toulouse area for about 9 hours. Nevertheless,
things are now totally wonderful.
While they aren't quite as dramatic as the ones in Amsterdam, Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val does have canals.
In addition to the canals, Saint Antonin is along L'Aveyron, which you can watch wander along at this truly amazing riverside
Here is an aquatic cairn to memorialize people who have been pecked to death by ducks.
Also, the bar's deck has this charming water feature.
We visited a charming abbey, and saw an interesting example of this medieval insulation technique.
The abbey's interior courtyard was about as idyllic as the law allows.
This is the vault under which the monks made waffles.
These swans hissed at me, but made no move to attck. I guess swans have gotten the memo about my being a martial artist.
The famous "House of Wolves" in Caylus.
You probably haven't heard of this portal.
Cool map of regional churches.
Before we begin: Today in things that sound like movie plots.
It has rained, at least briefly, every day that I've been here. It has made for some dramatic skies.
There's still an hour of daylight to go, but it does seem as if today will break the streak.
Cool vestibule tiles.
Not as cool as a grill-boat, but nothing to sneeze at.
In general, the Dutch speak perfect English, this has not prevented them from getting in on the lucrative t-shirts-with-dumb-English-text-on-them market. On the other hand, I suppose that's true of Americans as well.
No lie, I saw a guy wearing that exact shirt a block later.
Yesterday I went to ArtZuid with a couple of friends and a cool baby. Because it was a longish walk, we had to take a coffee break in the middle.
Here we are being a bit incredulous.
Here we are looking a bit more enthused.
Building with cool clock.
Building with cool windows.
This collection of lawn gnomes and plastic vermin speaks to man's inhumanity to man.
Piet Kramer building. Here is a shot of its internal garden.
Here I am introducing the baby to piggyback rides.
Here he is trying to pull out my eyeball.
Here's the tree and sky behind the apartment.
So apparently the neighborhood in which I'm staying is the Williamsburg ca. 1999 of Amsterdam. Consequently, on Thursday I started my day at a place called The Breakfast Club. Afterward, I kind of made a loop up to Centraal Station, and then back around to the apartment.
Important life goals: a boat that you go to for grilling.
While not as salient to my life as a boat with a grill on it, I found this pretty wonderful.
Brutalism is best.
Meter box (I think.)
Houses with loading hoooks.
I'm still sleeping pretty poorly, and I woke up feeling pretty groggy on Friday. I decided it would be comforting to have some staples, which did end up feeling pretty reassuring. Now I can just sort of lounge around all day if I'm so inclined and won't have to go out for a kebab at 11 or something horrible like that.
On Friday evening I went here, which is apparently the ground zero of the area's gentrification process. Being Friday evening, it was completely packed. For a while the only available table was on the top of a garbage can. Afterwards, we went to the trendy bar associated with this restaurant, which was pretty good, although substantially understaffed. Ladies in Amsterdam seem more into animal prints than ladies in other cities.
Currently my most pressing problem is that I forgot to pack any nail clippers. Signing off to wipe the blood from writing this post off my keyboard.
I set out on Bloomsday.
Despite feeling pleased with myself in the last entry, I didn't do such a great job of leaving things in good order. Certainly acceptable, I think, but not exactly tidy. I guess I can still get away with calling it progress. Also, packing was pretty smooth and despite waiting a disconcertingly long time for The Max , I made the airport in good time. I ate at the Country Cat there, which was genuinely nice.
I got the very, very, very last seat on the plane. I was trying to figure out how to go about feeling good about staying another day, and dreading going though the checking and security-theater process for more waiting. Luckily, someone on the standby list didn't show, and my name was called. It felt good. Already had a little adventure by the time we were taxiing.
I was sort of hoping there would be a power outlet so I could play TIS-100, which I've been enjoying a good deal. Sadly, something about the Unity payer burns super-hot, even though the graphics are basically non-existent. It runs through the battery in less than two hours. This meant I had to just zone out and watch things. In particular, I watched Jupiter Ascending, which was indeed terrible, although fine for whiling away a plane ride.
Schipol was, by some distance, the best immigration experience I have ever had. I didn't wait in line for even a single second at passport control. Things sort of fell apart on transit, though, as the ATM in the airport only dispensed 50s, and the station at which I changed for the tram was remote enough that I had to walk around for a bit to find a shop that would let me pay for just a coffee with one of them. If Europeans are so reticent about breaking bills, why the fuck do they print them at all?
The apartment is fantastic. It has a hippie feel, which is not, as you know, my aesthetic, but the quality of it is very alluring, and it's very comfortable and airy. Going to be very happy to do some languishing here, and I imagine it'll be a nice space in which to get through my Euro-workdays.

Never miss another 'Violet' show
Pixie Geldof took the name Violet from the Hole's 1994 hit of the same name. She says "The music is angry and dark and aggressive but it's still a love song; there's still a soft sentiment to it, the lyrics are fragile. I like that juxtaposition in music but I've kind of reversed it in my work; I wanted the music to be soft but the lyrics to be darker and heavier."

I never have a problem choosing a handbag to go with my day-to-day outfits. After all, I have plenty of time to contemplate bags as much as I want, and like anyone else, I have my go-to options.
How To
Today, I'd like to switch bases a bit to talk to you about the greatest scourge threatening America today: Zombies. Thought The Walking Dead was just a fictional TV show, did you? I'm here to tell you that it's not, and also that there are parts of downtown Atlanta that probably didn't need much window-dressing to look post-apocalyptic in order to shoot the series.

Every second of your lived experience represents new connections among the roughly 86 billion neurons packed inside your brain.

Doggy Daycare/Boarding Hours of Operation
Is opening a dog daycare/boarding open 6 days a week weird? [more inside]
Family suicide complicated by lack of communication: is it ADHD?
My husband's cousin recently killed himself. The sadness we feel is colored by intense anger at my husband's mother, who never communicated what was going on with the cousin - or that he had moved to a city we visit frequently. Could "forgetting" to mention or misrepresenting major family information/news be a byproduct of ADHD? Yes, there's more inside... [more inside]
Lost and found: half sibling edition
I found out that I have a half brother five years ago. I got curious, then thanks to the internet, I was able to locate him a year ago. We (mom included) have been in touch, and he wants to be a part of our family, which I love as I am an only child raised by a single mom. The catch: He has problems with addiction, the law, and being employed. [more inside]
How to support family dealing with cancer, non-sartorially
My cousin's kid was born with cancer. A friend of theirs started a website where one can buy a t-shirt to show support for the family. This seems a little odd. Should I buy a t-shirt or do something differently to show love and support for the family? [more inside]
Sibling weddings cannot be in same month, even in different years?
I have two brothers-in-law, my husband's younger siblings. Both of them are getting married. The older of the two, who we'll call Brother A, has been planning his wedding for a while. His fiancé and he have been dating for a few years and are planning a traditional wedding for next year in August. The younger, Brother B, is getting married ASAP to a girlfriend he has only been dating briefly, for well... the classic reason for getting married in a hurry. They also want to get married in August, of this year. Brother A says that's "his" month. Is that even a thing? [more inside]
Need some of that quiet confidence.
I've been dating a great person for about 4 months. She's really outgoing, charming, attractive, and funny, and people just love her. [more inside]
Inviting only *some* family to our wedding?
We're in the very earliest stages of wedding planning, trying to come up with a guest list so that we have approximate numbers in mind when we look into venues, etc. How can - or should - we balance a seriously lopsided family tree with our desire to have our friends there (and not go bankrupt/remain engaged forever)? Details inside. [more inside]
Just because they share half their DNA....
Should I help my daughter connect with her half-sister? Or more precisely, should I help my daughter's half-sister connect with her? [more inside]
Whitewashing a sociopath's actions
My BIL is a sociopath. We don't deal with him. But the parents still do. Therein lies the problem... [more inside]
How do you deal with family-in-law that's in a cult?
Short version: my fiancé's family is involved in a cult. He left the cult while in college, but they don't know. Most people don't know, except me and a few other friends. He hasn't told his family that he left, and he says he never will. My question is, what do we do when/if they want us to be more involved in their lives, without either getting involved in the cult or letting it slip that we're not part of it? [more inside]
Never in my life did I think my son share/split...the restaurant tab
Indians of me-fi: is it commonly accepted etiquette that splitting a restaurant bill with Indian parents is an insult? [more inside]
Web developer salaries: help me distinguish hyperbole from reality
I'm considering a career change into web development and I'm hoping AskMe can help me sort through the abundance of relevant information and get a sense of what reasonable expectations might be. To put it succinctly, I'd like to make about $75-80k a year so that I can support my parents while still being able to save money for my own future. Is it probable for a self-taught developer to earn a salary in this range? [more inside]
Economical Vehicle for 8?
I need to find a safe vehicle that can seat a family of 8 comfortably and still have enough room to haul backpacks and school sports equipment. [more inside]
Great lenguage irrelevat activities?
My wife is finally going to meet my family. Problem, they don't speak English, She doesn't speak Russian. What are good non speech dependent fun activities we can all do? [more inside]
Introductory sources on biological classification
I'm beginning a project that looks partly at biological classification, primarily in western science. I have no background in this, and so I'm digging around. I'm interested to know more about the current rules for nomenclature, and also to know more about historical, philosophical, sociological, knowledge practice, ethnographic, anthropological, science technology and society (STS), sociotechnical, etc., approaches to the study of biological classification. I'll take monographs, articles, papers, web sites, etc. I have access to a university library. What are some good sources that can introduce me to this? Many thanks!
My 2-year-old niece is battling cancer. What can I say to be supportive?
I have been with my partner for over 5 years and know his family fairly well. A little over a year ago his brother's one year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer. His daughter, whom I consider as a niece even though my partner and I are not married, has now been battling cancer for over a year. It appears to be quite aggressive. When my sister-in-law calls to give me updates about their daughter's condition (or vice-versa), what can I say to be supportive and express that I care? More details inside. [more inside]
Memorial for family member planned while I'm away working
Someone in my extended family passed away. Her only child just told me that he'd like to plan a memorial for a future date while other relatives are in town. He and I were very close growing up, have somewhat drifted, but lately have been in one another's lives again. His mom was his only immediate family member. I already know I'm scheduled to be away from home working for three weeks at that time. Do I cancel, or proceed? [more inside]
Taking on more hours with a baby on the way
I've been offered a job I'd like, but the hours are longer and there's a commute, and we're expecting a baby. Would I be crazy to take it? [more inside]
My brother seems to have some sort of deep seated issue with me.
My brother (four years younger than me, we are both in our 30s and single, I am a woman) and I have had a back and forth relationship - it was normal brother/sister stuff - fighting and whatnot but nothing crazy - until I went to college, when we were super close. Then when I graduated college, he started and dropped out and went to community college and finally graduated after 7 years, and is actually doing really well as a banker, though he's between jobs now. Our relationship deteriorated rapidly after I graduated college though, because he had a big issue with drinking and was living with our parents and using them, I thought. That was a long time ago, and I've tried really hard to see where he's coming from and I thought our relationship had improved, but now new issues have come up... (wall of text inside) [more inside]
Misophonia with brother-in-law
My sister has a very nice husband who is a loud and emphatic chewer, who smacks his lips and says "mmmmm" upon putting anything in his mouth ever, and who always seems to be eating or drinking something he wants to share the experience of (I recognize this is not actually true, but it feels true). I have mild misophonia that centers around chewing sounds, and kind of want to throttle him or myself when this happens. I love my sister and her kid and even this guy when he's not having these table manners, but I find it really unpleasant to be around him during those times and it's very hard for me to actually enjoy a meal when we're eating it together. What should I do? [more inside]
Need to cross a minivan with a Prius (or vice versa)
Just discovered that our next car purchase needs to happen this summer, so I've gotta get into research mode stat. Is there such a thing as a family car (ie kid transporter etc) with great city gas mileage? Special snowtires inside. [more inside]
East coast vacation spots for the 10 to 78 set?
Do you know a great place near New York City for three generations of family to vacation for three to five days this summer? [more inside]
Do I reach out to someone I've hurt but doesn't want contact from me?
Would it be upsetting to have someone who wronged you--really, really, really wronged you--to contact you out of the blue to apologize? Over a decade ago I was a stupid, histrionic, selfish, needy and endless pit of WANT and ME-ME-ME kind of a person. I alienated everyone I knew and ended up moving away from my hometown. It took me a long time but I grew up and I realize how terrible I was then. Now I want to apologize to some people I wronged. Is it out of line for me to send a letter when I was asked to make no further contact over a decade ago? I don't deserve or desire a reconciliation but I do want to apologize and thank them for putting up with me--instead of just being a destructive person, I'm sure I would have ended up a dead person had it not been for them. [more inside]
a black sheep by my own design
How can I be gracious, kind, and supportive when I feel like a fuck-up compared to the rest of my family, particularly my younger sister? Messy wall of text below. [more inside]
Little brother is racist, but I'm a bitch
My brother did something racist that offended me, but when I spoke up against it, I'm the family bitch. How can I talk to my family so that they understand this? [more inside]
How do I insure a newborn on short notice?
We just found out the baby we're having any day now is probably not eligible for medical care at birth on her mother's insurance plan. Help! [more inside]
Obtaining consent before posting family photos to social media?
Am I wrong to want for my 25-year-old sister to get consent before posting photos of our family to >900 followers on social media sites (including Facebook and Instagram)? I feel annoyed by the Pinterest-perfect ideal of our family life that she's selling, and like my privacy is being violated in a big way. We're currently arguing about this and I can't tell if I'm being unreasonable, or if there's a better/more productive script I can follow so that we might actually resolve the conflict. [more inside]
Career Direction and Making a Move
Settle further into a career I feel "meh" about in order to move to a desired location, or stay put and keep hoping for a "dream" career that has been so far unreachable? [more inside]
What to do when a family member is offensive, but you love them, anyway?
A beloved family member was unexpectedly (and likely unintentionally) racist. We called her out on it. She didn't react well. What to do next? [more inside]
Found my grandfather's birth family. Now what?
In the process of helping post my late grandfather's digitized papers online, I found his adoption paperwork (he made no secret of being adopted, but didn't talk about it much). It gave enough information that I was able to find that my grandfather had a brother, who apparently is still alive. I'm not sure what to do next; it's good to know there's more family out there (my father has few living relatives), but I'm not sure how happy others in my family will be with the reality, and the same may go for my grandfather's newly-discovered relatives. Advice would be helpful; details below. [more inside]
Ghost in the brain
Based on my dysfunctional upbringing, it finally occurred to me that a lot my anxiety comes from being concerned that I will get "in trouble" a disproportionate amount for doing something that I didn't know was so wrong as to be deserving of the punishment. I have just recently started therapy again and will certainly bring this up, but I'm sure some of you will have some advice for me. [more inside]
Love him, leave him?
Please help me sort out my long-term thinking about my very good but maybe not perfect relationship? [more inside]
Communication Resources for Children of Narcissistic Parents
My sister was recently given a talking-to at work for her tone, after she unknowingly made one of her employees cry. She's been told she talks to people like they're stupid. And despite the fact that she is a very sweet, loving, and compassionate person, she does do that sometimes. She's not always aware of it happening, but sometimes she is, and she says it's hard to stop. Our mother was the same way, and what my sister says is, "Sometimes I feel Mom's voice coming out of me, and I hate it but I can't stop it." She's asked me for some resources that will help her learn how to communicate better, and be aware of her tone and fix it when necessary. It's especially important to her now that she's pregnant and doesn't want to talk to her child the way our mother talked to us. Any suggestions for her? I've already got Non-Violent Communication on the list, and I'm looking for good resources for children of narcissistic mothers. What else?
Familly Politics and Pregnancy - What's the Right Thing to Do?
My sister is pregnant (YAY!). Sister doesn't talk to my aunt but said I could tell aunt that she is pregnant. Aunt would be thrilled to find out. Do I keep my mouth shut? [more inside]
suicidal ex speaks incoherently, needlessly names me- do I warn his dad?
My suicidal ex bumped into A, an acquaintance of mine, a few days ago and, according to A who later contacted me to warn me about it, he talked strangely, incoherently, in an evidently sick way and mentioned my complete name several times for no apparent reason. As when I last heard him (to tell him to stop calling me), three weeks before this, he seemed to be in a fairly good mental state, I am now debating calling his family to let them know about it. Should I do it or would it be out of place and maybe even open up a can of worms I've barely managed to close? [more inside]
How do I handle two siblings ganging up on me? Fun fact: they're 30.
My two older siblings and brother-in-law are beyond irritated with me when all I've been doing is minding my own business and forging my path into adulthood. They are never short of criticisms and any attempts at satisfying them are futile. Things got way out of hand this weekend to the point I am either ousted from future family functions or there will be an awkward vibe/fake niceness. [more inside]

I graduated college last year with a degree in the science field. I have long had a passing interest in the healthcare field, and have had familial pressure to "become a doctor" even longer. It goes without saying that I decided to take an entry-level job related to healthcare. However, the more I see of healthcare, the less I like what I see, and the more I am reconsidering my future plans. The sources of the familial pressure, in turn, are getting more aggressive.

So this will usually be in a family setting. I live quite far away from most members of my family (brothers, cousins etc). I look forward to seeing them but when I do something happens. For the first few hours everything is great, I'm happy to see them. We're getting on great. Then slowly but surely I start to feel that my life is inadequate, and that I am inadequate. Witty responses become sarcastic putdowns and insults. I feel like I'm taking things the wrong way. My own capacity for conversation and fun becomes subdued and almost entirely non-existent. I overthink every word. I feel completely mentally drained. And I wish they would leave as soon as possible! I know I was happy before the visit or stay. I know I never felt inadequate with any of my friends or work colleagues. But I feel really bad that I feel this way and I feel even worse in the actual situation. [more inside]

The 1950s
John Foster Dulles in The 1950s
John Foster Dulles (1888-1959) was Eisenhower's Secretary of State until April of 1959, when he resigned from office because of illness. (Dulles died a month later.) Dulles was an international lawyer from a politically distinguished family; both his grandfather and his uncle had also served as Secretary of State. He had been involved in diplomacy since World War I and had helped set up the United Nations and NATO at the end of World War II.
Deeply religious and a fierce anticommunist, Dulles was considered by many to be inflexible and sanctimonious. Even Eisenhower called him an "international prosecuting attorney."1 Dulles had criticized the previous president, Harry Truman, for seeking only the "containment" of Communism; he wanted to roll back Communist control in Eastern Europe and elsewhere. Although he was mostly thwarted in this goal while in office, Dulles brought a hard edge to Eisenhower's foreign policy and pressed for confrontation in many cases where Ike preferred conciliation.

|Statistics (2014)
Chofu Airport (調布飛行場 Chōfu Hikōjō?) (ICAO: RJTF) is an airport located 1.2 NM (2.2 km; 1.4 mi) northwest[1] of Chōfu, Tokyo, Japan, west of central Tokyo. It is administered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The airport's main commercial activity is New Central Airservice commuter flights to the islands south of Tokyo.
Airlines and destinations[edit]
|New Central Airservice
|Kōzushima, Miyakejima, Niijima, Oshima
Chofu Airport was opened in 1941. Used as an Imperial Japanese Army Air Force base during World War II, the airfield was host to Kawasaki Ki-61 fighters used for air defense against Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombing raids by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). Occupied after the war by American forces, the airfield was briefly used as a base for Lockheed F-5 Lightning photo-reconnaissance aircraft of the 6th and 71st Reconnaissance Groups beginning in late September 1945, mapping the extent of wartime damage over Honshū. The mapping flights ended in January 1946, ending operational military use by the Americans. The USAAF saw no need for the facility, especially given its proximity to the densely populated urban area. It was turned over to the occupation government in 1946, eventually being returned to Japanese control.
Accidents and Incidents[edit]
- On August 10, 1980, a private plane crashed into the playground of a Chofu middle school after take-off, killing everyone on board.
- On July 26, 2015, a Piper PA-46 Malibu, with five people on board, crashed into a residential area just after take-off. Three people died in the crash, including the pilot, one of the passengers, and a woman on the ground. The other three passengers survived with injuries, as did two people on the ground. Witnesses on the ground reported that the engine made an abnormal sound as it flew over them. Several videos were uploaded to YouTube showing the airplane flying lower than usual after take-off. Three investigators from the Japan Transport Safety Board were soon dispatched to the accident site. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also launched an investigation, suspecting professional negligence resulting in injury and death. Initial investigative work revealed the airplane was involved in a landing incident at an airport in Hokkaido in October 2004. Several anomalies with the flight plan were also found. Media speculations suggest the engine or professional negligence as likely causes of the crash.[3]

GamesIndustry reports "From the advent of what we might consider modern game consoles in the 1980s through to the point when standard budgets for individual games topped $10 million took around 25 years. Budgets spiked significantly when the PlayStation shifted the industry from 2D to 3D, but that merely drove them from six to seven figures; it wasn't until the last generation, with Xbox 360 and PS3, that $10 million became the baseline for developing a AAA game.
From the advent of modern smartphones, in mid-2007, less than a decade has passed; so when Kabam CEO Kevin Chou talks about budgets of over $10 million for mobile games, and easily twice that when launch marketing costs are taken into account, it's a sign of how quickly the world has accelerated."

Skip to comments.GO NUCLEAR! (Response to NRO Editorial)
Posted on 12/15/2004 11:23:35 PM PST by Lancey Howard
The editors at National Review Online have opined that the Republicans must resist the temptation to change the Senate rules (which Republican Senators believe they can do by a simple majority) to prevent filibusters of judicial nominees. This threat to change the rules has been referred to as the "nuclear option".
(The NRO editorial and the accompanying Free Republic thread can be found HERE.)
The NRO editors believe that it would be wiser for Republicans to play the "Democrats are obstructionists" card during the political campaign season and hope that the folks who comprise the malleable "middle" (the clueless "undecideds" like the people on the street who get interviewed by Jay Leno) save the day for the rest of us by taking their squishy "rage" out on the Democrats. No thanks.
First of all, let's sum up how we got to where we are today and where we will inevitably end up unless something (the "nuclear option") is done about it.
For the first 200 years of our nation's existence, the vast majority of Presidential judicial nominees were confirmed after legitimate "advice and consent" hearings and an up-or-down vote. Not a whole lot of public attention was even paid to lower-court nominations and most were confirmed by the Senate (regardless of party alignment) with little fanfare or controversy. Even Supreme Court nominations, while obviously generating considerably more interest, were largely considered done deals, occasional burps like LBJ's Abe Fortas notwithstanding.
Then, in the 1980s, everything changed.
During the Robert Bork confirmation hearings the Democrats devised and unveiled the smear tactic now known colloquially as "Borking". Over the next fifteen years or so, the Democrats fine-tuned and expanded this "art of the smear". At one point they conducted what was for all intents and purposes an inquisition of Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Thomas himself referred to his "Borking" by the Democrats as a "high-tech lynching". Indeed it was. Fortunately, the Democrats' attempt to destroy Thomas failed and he was ultimately confirmed. It was also fortunate that the Democrats had not yet "progressed" to where they are today.
Fast forward a few years and today we see that the Democrats are filibustering any Republican nominee who appears to take the United States Constitution seriously. And they are doing so routinely!
"The toothpaste is out of the tube".... "The genie is out of the bottle".... pick your cliche; the bottom line is that after 200 years of working just fine, the Constitution of the United States has been irreversibly perverted by the Democrats. The 200-year tradition of Senate "advice and consent", as envisioned by the Founders and set forth in the Constitution, is gone forever.
The Democrats are fully aware that as a consequence of taking the drastic step of routinely filibustering judicial nominees, virtually every nominee to a federal bench who is sent up by future Democrat Presidents (and there will likely be some, like it or not) will be turned away by the Republicans as a "liberal judicial activist". Tit-for-tat. What goes around comes around. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Etc. Pick your cliche.
So here we are. It's a whole new world for the judiciary and it is a world where appointments to federal benches, including the Supreme Court, will be primarily recess appointments. It's the inevitable bottom of the slippery slope and if we are not there yet we are closing in fast. As the current lifetime appointments retire or die off, the various federal benches (including the Supreme Court) may as well have turnstiles installed as each new President packs the court with his own recess appointments (which last only for the duration of a Congressional term) and the previous President's recess appointments go home. "Advice and consent" be damned. That stuff is obsolete.
This will eventually lead to a situation where in times of a Republican Presidency the courts will be loaded with "strict constructionists" who take the Constitution seriously and in times of a Democrat Presidency, with liberal activists who make rulings based on the chic political correctness of the day. (The Constitution is a "living document" don't you know. If it wasn't, it would include a process for amendment..... Oh, wait....)
Every time there is a switch in the party that controls the Presidency (resulting in the courts being once again turned upside down), the motions and the lawsuits will rain down like cats and dogs and reversals will be the rule of the day. The judiciary branch will be in a constant state of utter chaos.
Congratulations, Democrats.....
We will soon arrive (if we have not already arrived) at a point where the only way a nominee of any consequence will ever get confirmed to a lifetime appointment is if a President can get 60 votes in the Senate (enough votes for closure against a filibuster). This will normally mean a President must have a Senate comprised of at least 60 members of his own party. History shows us that this is a very rare situation.
But imagine that this rare situation someday comes to pass. The Supreme Court, filled with recess appointments, could then be filled with NINE fresh lifetime appointments. Now imagine that the lucky President who finds him or herself in such a position is some future version of Hillary Clinton. (Roll that one around in your head for a minute.... carefully.)
On the other hand, there is the "nuclear option". Unfortunately, the "nuclear option" appears to be the only option at this point. The next four years are likely to provide an historic opportunity for a conservative President, George W. Bush, to shape a Supreme Court comprised of a few more "strict constructionists"; a Supreme Court which values the rule of law, the separation of powers, and American tradition.
This opportunity must not be squandered.
As for the soon-to-be-outraged Democrats? Well, is there really any doubt that the party that invented "Borking" and has beaten the process down to the disgraceful low-point we now have would "go nuclear" if the shoes were on the other feet? Please.... OF COURSE they would.
Nuke the Whales!
I believe that this is my first full-blown essay here at Free Republic. Any comments from anybody, including critique of my writing style (such as it is), would be greatly appreciated.
If anybody has a ping list for people interested in the judiciary, would you please pass this thread on? Appreciate it....
Your writing style ("such as it is") is great. The essay is well-reasoned with just the right sense of urgency.
Write more of these please. I'll wait here.
But only on people like Leahy, Schumer and Durbin; Russia's out of bounds for now.
But those clever Russkies had better behave themselves....
I can't tell if your pinglist includes Congressman Billybob, so I'm pinging him here.
Nuke them till they glow. Then shoot them in the dark.
I think it's excellent work, Lancey! It would need only minor editing to be worthy of publication.
Thanks for the pings!
-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)
well done! looking forward to more...would you put me on your ping list of your originals plz?
Thanks. I don't usually do vanity editorials like this, but I was responding on another thread and my post got so verbose I figured I'd just go nuts and post it on its own.
Thanks for your comments!
I agree wholeheartedly with the objective, but I think we should be framing this as the "constitutional option" as opposed to the "nuclear option". There has always been a negative connotation associated with anything "nuclear" though I'd love to see that word associated with Fallujah and a few other terroristr hot spots. Ending the filibuster of federal judges and presidential nominees is simply an effort to uphold the powers of the President as set forth in the U.S. Constitution.
Over the past twenty-five years or so the sneaky, athiest scumbags of the ACLU and the Democrat Party have taken advantage of the ignorant rabble (with great help from their allies in the rapidly-fading "old media") by fabricating a "separation of church and state" (based on an old throwaway line from Ku Klux Klanner Hugo Black) and then trying to convince them that it's in the First Amendment somewhere. It is, of course, not in there at all.
Just for reference purposes, here's the First Amendment. It tells Congress what kind of laws it cannot make. That's all it does. There's nothing in here about "separation of church and state" (as anybody with at least the literacy and IQ of Jethro Bodine can see):
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Excellent post, and so, so true. We can only hope for Sen. Frist to suddenly grow a pair along about early January.
I hold out little hope of that happening, though. Our paid reps are such weaklings, it makes me sick.
PS - the 'nuclear option' doesn't refer to a simple change of Senate rules.
...by fabricating a "separation of church and state" (based on an old throwaway line from Ku Klux Klanner Hugo Black)...
Playing fast & loose w/ the facts doesn't help your case.
Fast forward a few years and today we see that the Democrats are filibustering any Republican nominee who appears to take the United States Constitution seriously. And they are doing so routinely!
I would like to see them force the dems into a for-real, sho-nuf filibuster that dragged on for weeks or months until victory is obtained and the enemy destroyed. They have only had sissy little pretend filibusters as a sop to conservatives up to now, The dems would loose the PR war over the filibusters as it dragged on and on, and you wouldn't have all this hand wringing over whether to "go nuclear." Once we kick their ass, if we decide we don't like winning, we can always go back to losing again.
If Reid and gang continue to filibuster them, I'm game!

I had one of those, once.
(Looks across table, at wife, Theresa Heinz. Hangs head in shame.)
I take the same position that you do, though with a slightly different approach. Bottom line: I agree that the nuclear option should be employed asap in January when the new Senators have been sworn in,

No wonder Ann Coulter calls them "girlie men"
I will give you my opinion. This is a first rate essay !
You didn't waste words, and proved your case with pure reason. This was as well written as any I have come across this year. BRAVO!!
I read the NRO article and disagreed with it.
OTOH, your response is spot on.
You brought up some forethought that I hadn't considered yet. You've changed my mind about recess appointments - they are clearly not the answer.
The ACLU is a scourge on the American landscape. Now, according to a segment on Fox News, George Soros has announced that he is pumping millions of dollars into the coffers of the ACLU. This is not welcome news!
VERY GOOD commentary. Thanks for posting. :^D
Wait and see. I don't think they have the er... fortitude to do this. They never even demanded a real filibuster. These were "Gentlemen's Filibusters." They were allowed to do other business and come back to the filibuster later. Either it's a filibuster or ya don't come back.
"No wonder Ann Coulter calls them "girlie men""

Two vehicles were struck from behind, one by a tractor-trailer. The drivers were checked out by emergency medical services, but declined to be transported to a hospital.

Awesome 99.99 bullion gold coin and a must given the success that Canada and the USA had at this 2010 Hockey Olympics. The Canandien Royal Mint's 99.99 really show gold's true luster on this collectable. Too bad they just couldn't have etched SC into the coin somewhere to celebrate Sidney Crosby's OT game winning and gold medal clinching goal.
I ordered one of these beautiful Coins, and it exceeded my expectations, with regards to its luster and finely crafted details. It was also my very first One Ounce Coin that I have ever purchased. Great coin for any fan of the Olympics or Hockey. You won't be sorry to have this Coin in your collection. I consider it to be a " Piece of Art " ! Karl Hiten Lexington, Ky.
Although I am not usually big on commemoratives, I snapped up two of these 2010 Olympic gold Maples after Canada won the gold in hockey. The design is iconic and a national treasure for a country proud of it's hockey heritage. I think this coin is a good collectable and a real keeper for the long term. I also love the 2009 Olympic design. The coins I received appeared flawless.
A bit of premium over the standard maple leaf but I think it's an interesting design over the standard maple leaf which I think is a bit boring.
We provide all of our customers with a refund, return and / or exchange on everything we sell including all bullion and certified coins. If for any reason, you have a problem, please feel free to call us. We will always do our best to accommodate you.

Skip to comments.Okay, we are going to just come out and say this: Todd Palin is a stone cold fox
Posted on 10/09/2008 7:15:31 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Is it wrong to have a serious crush on the First Dude of Alaska and the future Second Gentleman of the United States? Because if crushing on Todd Palin is wrong, then man, we do not want to be right.
We just want to listen to him talk about snowmachines and huskies and hockey for hours and hours and hours.
When we met him in St. Louis the weekend of Palins announcement as VP, we couldnt even talk, we just kind of giggled and stared and the only thought in our head was TODD. TODD. Oh, it was stupefying and it made the 8 hour ride down from Chicago totally worth it.
And now were Mapquesting how long it would take to get to Maine, because Todd Palins being dispatched to campaign there. Hes just so DREAMY. And Maines so lovely this time of year. All the more lovely because TODD is there.
VIA BostonHerald
"PORTLAND, Maine - Todd Palin, husband of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, is coming to Maine to campaign for John McCain.
Palin will appear on Saturday will appear at a barbecue at the Moosehead Trail Trading Post in Palmyra on Saturday afternoon, according to the McCain campaign. Doors open at 2 p.m.
Palin will appear at another barbecue at noon on Sunday at Harrys Motor Sports in Presque Isle.
The McCain campaign announced last week it was putting more resources into Maine, particularly in the states 2nd Congressional District. Maine is one of two states that splits its electoral votes by congressional district, and the McCain campaign is hopeful of coming away with at least one electoral vote on Election Day."
Gorgeous American manhood...
What's not to like
>> Is it wrong to have a serious crush on the First Dude of Alaska and the future Second Gentleman of the United States?
Not as long as you're a "chick".
If you're a "dude", then, yes, there's something very, very wrong...
Gorgeous American manhood...
What's not to like
Oh, well...
TODD is twice the man most liberal girly-men are...
At least twice
Hubby has several cousins who live in Maine, in or near Presque Isle. I just had to email them this news. They are Dems who are voting McCain-Palin this year. :D
And he's so cool too.
Greta asked him if he had any concerns about leaving all this to go to DC? This is pretty nice she said (referring to their home and its beautiful view etc.). He agreed that it was nice there and then said but life is the experiences you collect (paraphrasing).
Neat guy.
Yes - 500% agree with them! YES YES - in fact I think we need an "Ann Coulter" rule in regards to Todd!
You betcha!
"Life is all about experiences" I thought that was a really neat response, and a great way to look at what has to be a tumultuous life they have.
He is one cool First Dude -- and yes, a stone cold hunk.
The sexiest thing about Todd Palin is when he's holding his new baby son. < swooooooon> I find men who do this to be incredibly hot.
Thanks to proudtobeanamerican1 for posting a few days ago!
I love conservative men. They are manly men, not metrosexuals who are looking for their inner feminine side. I do wish Todd would shave - he's hot but looks a bit scruffy for a candidates hubby.
Well, I'll give him this- he sure has good taste in women. -:)
Oh my! Where is the "Todd Palin is a hunk" ping list!
I'm a crushing on him. It's ok though, my hubby is crushing on his wife.
No prob.....I got that shot in Vienna Ohio. Too bad I didn't actually get to see him, just had the camera above my ahead. ;)
I have it on good authority that he's not real. He's a character written up by a romance novelist on retainer to the campaign and played by an obscure soap opera actor.
I'd hit it! (Isn't that what they guys always say?) lol
*they = the
Dittos... from my household to yours.
He will be a very handsome credit to Washington DC.
A breath of fresh air for that town!
And yes, he's easy on the eyes. ;)
I would not be suprised if the ladies of Alaksa didn't want to share him with the rest of the country.
We are two wild and crazzzzy guys.
I say that alot and the older I get, the more I get confused looks.
It's funny though when people come out of nowwhere with stuff. My boss came to my house one time and he knocked on my door. My daughter ran to the door and said "Who is it?" and he said "Candygram".
I almost squealed I laughed so hard!
I didn't know thaat snowmachines and huskies and hockey translated into republican vote. But if that trips your trigger, more poweer to ya.
Go Sarah, clean up the senate and the house while your at it.
Ann Coulter isn't talking, she is speechless.
I agree. I don't get this goatee thing.
Go to Alaska and ride a snowmobile when it _20 outside. You'll wish you has one full of snow to keep the biting wind off your chin.
Todd Palin is smokin' hot ping.
He reminds me a lot of my husband. Hes a QT. She is stunning as well. A nice looking couple.
He's also
Do you think that somebody like Sarah would have settled for anything less?
I foresee Todd having a bigger role down the road.
OK, we have rules about this
If anyone would like to join my TODD PALIN IS A HUNK! ping list, please let me know.
Already in place
No, no, no, no. Don't shave.
I LOVE beards.
I'd hit it!
Well, he IS easy on the eyes & he's a capable Mr Mom, while not being a wuss.
What's not to like?
You betcha!
Nice way to start the day.
Oh I would understand that because I'm originally from the midwest. But I live in CA now. They don't need a goatee for common sense like zero tempatures. Here it's just a male fad.
It isn't just his looks - even though they qualify him for total hunk status. It's also who he is, the snowmachine racer who finished a race with a broken arm, a man who knows how to live off the land, built their house himself with help from his friends, supports his wife in her career, a man who is a loving father. He's the real deal. They are an amazing and beautiful family.
He really is something out of a romance novel.
LOVE IT! Thank you!
Todd is perfect.
Remember Garrett Morris' "Chico Ezquela" routine? "Beze-ball.... has been berry, berry goot - to me!" I always thought that was the funniest part of the show.

What's the correct formula to this?
May 12, 2013 9:47 PM
Hello experts,
In one of my fact tables I need to have a calculation/formulas that will give the data for 3 months back (Feb 7 to May 7th this yeat), QTD (from April 1st to now) or CY (Jan 1st to now). So for instance I want to have cost for 3 months from Feb 7 to May 7th of this year and my fact table is "Fact - Sales Cost"."Cost".
How do I insert the formula to so that it just gives me those particular data without going back to the rpd. I am sure there is way to use the functions. Please help
Many thanks as always
I have the same question

in response to
In Criteria tab pull column "Fact - Sales Cost"."Cost" 3 times->fx->Filter->Select Year from Subject area and Add button 'SQL Expression' and then use year(current_year) this would be for CY.
For other measures do the same, QTD you might need to tweak it based on your data.
If helps mark

Calgary Herald Tue August 23 2016The Calgary Herald featured a novel written by Indrapramit Das, an alumnus of UBC's creative writing program.
The Devourers is a cross-genre literary fantasy novel exploring the migratory journeys of immortal shapeshifters. The first draft of the book was written as Das' thesis.
CBC Tue August 23 2016Gregory Mackie, a UBC English professor, was interviewed for CBC's As It Happens about the university's acquisition of the Kelmscott Chaucer book.
The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer was printed in 1896 and was purchased for $202,000 in U.S. dollars. "It is one of the most famous books in the world," Mackie said. "It's been called 'the most beautiful of all books. It is pretty much the preeminent masterpiece of 19th century book design in fine press printing." The segment starts at 16:50. Similar stories appeared in the Vancouver Sun and The Province.
Vancouver Sun Wed August 24 2016 By: David Gordon DukeThe Vancouver Sun featured UBC's Opera Ensemble, which made its annual showcases at Vancouver's Bard on the Beach.
Soprano Kallie Clayton and Nicole Brooks share the female lead while Spencer Britten and Matthew Gaskin share the male lead in Mozart's 'The Magic Flute.' The UBC Opera is led by Nancy Hermiston.
Forbes Wed August 24 2016 By: CJ ArlottaForbes featured UBC research that found THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, makes rats less likely to exert the cognitive effort needed for difficult tasks.
Lead researcher Mason Silveira, a psychology PhD candidate at UBC, said the rats were less likely to do more difficult tasks though they still had the ability to complete them. The difference was their willingness to use their cognitive abilities.
"Previous work has shown that THC can affect executive abilities, but no one has looked at how the drug may influence how you choose to allocate your cognitive resources," he said. "We think this is an important question to consider, given that big decisions humans face often involve deciding how much mental energy you are willing to invest for a particular outcome," Silveira said.
Similar stories appeared in the Daily Mail, New York Daily News, Mashable, Medical Xpress, CBC, CTV, Global, Toronto Star,Globe and Mail, National Observer, iPolitics, Winnipeg Free Press,Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, News 1130, Metro News, Daily Hive, Castanet and 24 Hours Vancouver. Catharine Winstanley, a UBC psychology professor, was interviewed about the same study on CBC (51:43 mark) and Global (17:12 mark).
Globe and Mail Mon August 22 2016 By: Ellen BraitThe Globe and Mail featured author and UBC alumnus Andrew Westoll who worked as a scientist before turning to a career in writing.
Westoll's first novel, which has been described as magical realism, is set to be published in the fall. He worked as a biologist before going on to study creative writing at UBC.
Castanet Mon August 22 2016Castanet featured UBC Okanagan's newly introduced Bachelor of Media Studies (BMS) which will start accepting applications this month for entry in September of next year.
"Kelowna's tech industry is flourishing, with start-ups alongside established companies like Disney and Bardel Entertainment having offices in the valley," said Deborah Buszard, deputy vice-chancellor and Principal of UBC's Okanagan campus. "The industry needs graduates with tech talent as well as creative and managerial skills and entrepreneurial spirit. Our new BMS program will provide the bridge from academic study to industry success."

Manufacturers in China often use a machine tool built in the U.S. to finish critical bores. Honing technology maker Sunnen, based in St. Louis, Missouri, says the VSS Series 2 Single-Stroke Honing system features accuracy, reliability and flexibility that have made it a mainstay of Chinese manufacturing. One Chinese company purchased nearly 70 of the machines for making air conditioner parts.
Sunnen is demonstrating the machine in Booth N-7400. Incorporating up to six spindles to progressively size and finish part bores, the VSS-2 is ideal for precision sizing of bores 3.9 to 50 mm in diameter in stamped parts, valve bodies, gears, rocker arms, turbocharger housings and similar parts. Suitable materials include cast iron, powder metals, ceramic, glass, graphite and other free-cutting materials.

The Robins are yet to taste defeat on home soil since head coach Sean O'Driscoll took charge but their failure to secure a victory on the road has left them six points adrift of safety with seven games remaining.
The likes of Albert Adomah and Liam Kelly are pushing for recalls while Paul Anderson came through 90 minutes following his return to the starting line-up after injury.
But O'Driscoll is limited when it comes to attacking options with striker Ryan Taylor (shoulder) back in training but not yet available, and fellow forward Jon Stead (groin) still sidelined.
City's latest defeat on their travels, a 3-0 loss at Derby on Friday, means a reverse to the Owls would leave the Robins staring at a return to League One after six seasons on football's second rung.
