Gold medal winner?

OK Suz you can now Digg! Oh you Pups should also Digg IT!

Heh, I was gonna chide ya for spelling samisen wrong, but, shamisen is an alternate spelling along with jamisen…! (per wiki…)

In Italy and Greece the swear word was Albanians….. a taxi driver yelling about a bad driver…. “Albanians”…… people having to jump back from the curb… “Albanians”…… hey living in a repressed former soviet republic with no freedoms is like teenagers gone wild…

Did you see my pictures?

nope, the forking bulgarian scored it 4.3.

Yep and I left you a reply on last evenings thread..
But they are lucky the whole house did go up.. If I remember they weren’t at home at the time…. Also lucky for them as most victims are over come by smoke.

For those of you who have never done drugs, You just missed it.

Holy Shit, I need a bong hit after that one.

I bow to the master.

Damn them.

She is really pretty good. I have a couple of her CDs.

If McMansion doesn’t put Mittster in the Veep slot, now that there are leaks indicating he’s the one, wingnuts like Katherine Lopez will revolt and go into corkscrew mode.

Pass the popcorn.

Suz.

Yoshida Brothers–Kodo Live version 5.14-2008. Yes, these are the guys that did the Wii theme. :D They totally kick arse. XD

A favorite of mine, they took the shamisen and made it incredible in with modern stylings but still keep that sound that is their own 5 note scale up to the next level. Me: *drooling on teh floor the first time i heard this CD*

Actually it was an electrical fire out by that picture where the TeeVee was….. my grandmothers rocker just disappeared….. Waiting for the final insurance approval… the builder upped the bid by $45K and then start getting permits then remove the asbestos….. and then strip it down to the studs……

Per the NYT:

The Shiite-dominated government in Iraq is driving out many leaders of Sunni citizen patrols, the groups of former insurgents who joined the American payroll and have been a major pillar in the decline in violence around the nation.

In restive Diyala Province, Unites States and Iraqi military officials say there were orders to arrest hundreds of members of what is known as the Awakening movement as part of large security operations by the Iraqi military. At least five senior members have been arrested there in recent weeks, leaders of the groups say.

[…]

[Emphasis mine.]

The progressive form, “The surge is succeeding,” is a euphemism for the present-perfect form, “The surge has failed.”

Had the surge succeeded, the troops would be home by now.

oh yeah – gonna be great watching her and hojo keening away ‘after all i’ve done for you’ when neither one’s dream comes true

Well time to shut it down…. going to spend tomorrow doing QA on the new software… Oh joy… Nite all

nice – bookmarked for later.

You got YouTube 2.0 or sumthin’?

OK. Off to bed for me. I have to ease back into this whole work thing again and tomorrow is another day (albeit a short one). Take care and enjoy one of the strangest and most awesome jams I have seen in quite a while.

g’nite katymine and dr (pause) dick

I really do feel sad for her.

-G

Actually, a parting gift before I go. Let’s take it full circle back to where it began. I leave you with the Mali blues.

mexico blues

night katy :>) Sleep well

Maliki is really determined to disenfranchise the Sunnis… He’s told us in no uncertain terms personally and through spokespersons…

Government officials would not comment on specific claims about the push in Diyala. But aides close to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite, said the government was not willing to tolerate the existence of armed groups with “blood on their hands.”

“The continuation of the Awakening Councils as they are now is unacceptable,” said Ali al-Adeeb, a close al-Maliki aide and a senior member of his Dawa Party.

So Sowwy, nothing is going to beat that Blues Samurai Dude playing a three stringed banjo hybrid with Buddy Guy,that was off the fucking charts cool!

Sweet. I’ve been off the grid for the past few days hiking around on the east side of the Cascades and come back to the lake feeling right at home again.

Several Late Late Nites ago, I was looking for a good Chris Duarte song to post and stumbled on the song featured up top. It was fitting in light of the multinational quadrennial event going on, but by all means it was deserving of a listen in it’s own right for the humor and for the pure blues that comes through in full force.

Thanks for the replay !

Back from dealing with Republicans this evening. Which rminds me that I haven’t said this here in a long time:

I hate this goddam, fucking war. Every minute of it!

Angry Cockroaches – Tito and Tarantula:

twas my pleasure to give ya the hat tip in the post, muzzy.

Beautiful music here, thanks Suz and everyone.

Chitlins Con Carne

Intestinal meat with meat seems kinda redundant these guys seem real good though.

you turned me onto tito with this one dood – love their stuff

OK dood, as strange as I am, I am starting to look at you guy’s out of the corner of my eye.

Dugg

Now, who will match my Digg?

Without a doubt the coolest blues jam I have seen in a long time.
Evening, all.

evening, Suzanne

hey neuro

:P

I like ‘em both. The one up top for the sheer amount of fun they all had and that allowance to just blend it all together in the midst of it. My thing as a DJ is that i look for so much to expose my audiences to, that i love finding some things like this and the Yoshida borthers as well. I’ve got an active audience in Second Life that drives me to find more like it, along with any recordings or rerecodings of older music from when japan was entirely isolated.

That’s been the fun part. Short of going to japan myself, it’s very hard to find the older stuff. The truly traditional ones. But the new works? Wow.

greetings, pups

Aloha, ET! I noticed Josh Marshall listened to that Stevens call-in show audio, too…!

hey rond – still dry?

ah, once again, thank you on behalf of all of the straight males here… *g*

yuck, et. came home and took a shower and still feel dirty?

OK dood, as strange as I am, I am starting to look at you guy’s out of the corner of my eye.

heh. I’m gonna take that as a compliment.

No way to keep up with Suz though – the master of the YouToobz…

Hi Suz…one rainstorm. One. About ten minutes, an insult to our everyday thunderstorms. One of the strangest storms ever in my experience, in that this storm has inundated the state south, west, and north of me, as close as 12 miles away-and I’ve had one piddlin’ little shower. Lotta wind and weird skies, though. You getting settled in?

gawd – look at the time.

Manana, y’all.

(keyboard still refusing to type in a foreign language – I’m beginning to suspect its politics)

g’nite jayt

Off to Nod. Not cheery, but feeling less alone tonight because you smart folks who get it are in my computer :-).

I wonder if Apple would like to advertise at late late nite?
We often talk about music Suz and ES both like putting up cool music clips many of us not only use Apple computers, we have I pods and we download I tunes songs based both on the videos on the top of the thread and clips from commentors.
Plus I’m sure the regulars use and wear out their computers at a faster rate than normal users meaning we probably spend to replace our computers more.
Sounds like we are a demographic Apple should advertise with if only to announce the coolest new things Apple wants to sell.
Plus I’m sure Apple can afford FDL’s ad rates.

Aloha, jayt and sunny!

i’m starting to feel right comfy at the cozy cottage on the coast. gonna enjoy it

Gee I would but….

g’nite sunny

Nope Dell!!

my wife and I are hitting the road in about 7 hours to Colorado for a family gathering, then going to lurk around Denver and see if we can get near the Convention.

Any firepups in Denver or Fort Collins areas?

Be on the road about 8 days, probably not so much around here during that time, may be able to check in once and awhile due to the kindness of family members, I hope

The other thing tonight on my mind is war. In eastern Europe. IMO, Georgia is a done deal. I believe they will be part of Russia again, along with the Crimea. We are encircling Russia, pushing NATO to their doorsteps-which James Baker promised Gorbachev we wouldn’t do-and installing a missile defense system clearly designed to make a first strike on Russia feasible, though ten measly interceptors won’t do shit to stop a massive Russian missile strike. It is a diplomatic sharp stick in the eye-and Russia has promised “100% chance of retaliation” against Poland if it goes along with this deal. Poland is a NATO country, which we are treaty-obligated to defend. If you would like a good idea of what land war with Russia is like, Check out some WW2 history-”Operation Bagration” and “The Vistula-Oder Offensive” are good places to start. I knew the neocons wanted to fight the Vietnam War over-but I didn’t realize they wanted to fight WW2 again, too.

re: any Denver or Fort Collins area firepups who read this later, you can contact me at my name at america on line dot com

can anyone help us get into the stadium for Obama’s speech Thursday nite? Probably not likely, I know.

i hope you can check in neuro. lotsa folks from the lake are going to be there as will marcy

Hope you are bring a laptop so you can keep us here at Late Late night up to date! Good luck traveling and I will watch your Digg IT back … at least till the 29th as I will be staying at Stanford that night!!

Good luck Bud.
At about the same time I am headed South for a memorial service for a friend of the family that passed away recently and I don’t have a fucking thing to wear.
Even better, next Friday I get to do it again locally for my Uncle.
I just love getting older.

Per HuffPo:

Republican John McCain on Saturday issued a scathing critique of Barack Obama’s judgment and readiness to be commander in chief, telling a veterans’ group his Democratic rival had tried to “legislate failure” in Iraq and placed his own ambition ahead of military success there.

[…]

…the surge has been credited with helping stabilize Iraq and reduce violence there. … [but] has not brought about the political reconciliation between rival Sunni and Shia factions needed to create lasting peace in the country.

The surge has failed, and Obama has recognized that failure. He wants to stop wasting $12B/mo.

Disappeared for a while – watching the 110 hurdles and BMX. ET Jr. did BMX in middle school, until he started GROWING. Those men look so silly on those little bikes.

overnight? tests?

should be home the nite of the 29th if all goes according to plan

best wishes for whatever you must endure at Stanford

I will try to pick up the Digg baton and twirl it

condolences, busted

it does seem to happen more often the longer we’re around

a clean, pressed shirt and pair of clean pressed dark slacks is fine busted.

I heard from my Congresswoman tonight that McSame has a 39 percent voting record according to the VFW

anybody know if that is correct? if so, we need to shout it from the rooftops

try to kill the New GI Bill, then don’t show up for the vote, then claim credit for it…Support The Troops, indeed.

My best to you and yours, busted.

Umm, yeah, sure.

neuro, I posted some of the vets’ groups rating of McBush in my post today… McBush’s Continuing Love Affair With Vets…

oh, for those who were asking last nite, olympic men’s vollyball is being shown on the teevee

there is a business called a ‘dry cleaners’ who will press clothing and make them look like ya need them to

Busted my condolences on your losses… But as you said it sucks getting old and sometimes the price is heavy indeed!

They’ll even de-fur them before they press’em busted…! ;-)

and get out the spaghetti stains

A song for the Jamaicans who won their first ever Olympic gold medal this time around, and as such have reason to toot their horns

.

It will be the chemo embolization and to find out just what is what. I also was just informed that I will be listed as soon as the blood work results are in! So if there is cancer I will already be listed and if not I get to celebrate!!

Just don’t drop the dam thing like the US mens and women did!!

Evening lakers;
Ron D at #70 make a comment on neocons war goals. Seems to me we have to antithesis group to offest the neocans agenda which has been having operations around the world. False flag and war operation aggresssively laying the foundations for thir Globalisation into a world econoomy.
Why do we not have a plan described like their think tanks?
Seems we are floundering in a reactive way without a plan of action.
The environmental movement is the closest with large well established non profits to protect the planet.
The anti war movement seems very weak in the face of the well organized corporate Oligarchy with their “K” street lobbies running congress and total saturation of the MSM.
Jane Hamsher said earlier today “What should we do”? Got any plans pups.

kewl beans – you will let us know (hands on hips) won’t you young man?

Dude, I still have lots of room for prayers, you are in them now.

The women’s Beach Volleyball gold was won by a Hawaii product; Kerri Walsh!

LQQking down on little sister. But of course little sister!! Besides you would be calling to find out!!

thanks, CT. great work.

Why does John McCain hate our troops and veterans?

maybe that is why the men’s vollyball match isn’t so … interesting to watch

don’t make me change my setting

You have my thoughts and prayers, Bill!

hang in there nahant, we’re rooting for you

Thanks Busted can always use another one. But truthfully I feel bad for the family all this back and forth crap has them all spinning especially the ladies in my life! The middle daughter is coming in town Thursday evening and will be there to support Julie!

Mahalo, neuro! 8-)

best of luck, nahant..
and good night, all. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all.

Thanks Pups as has been said time and again the Late Late night is FAMILY(:>)) I have seen so much love given so freely here. We certainly spend a lot of time together..

Happy trails neuro – you’ll be oh so missed.

Sweet dreams all you fine, intrepid pups – gonna cuddle with mrbrat and catch what’s left of Jon Stewart. ;~D

Aloha, Ron!

the problem is not with the troops and the vets, I think many of them are smart enough to see McSame for what he is

the problem is with all the low information voters who support the troops and the vets and, you know, kind of think McSame does too–because he keeps saying so, the lying cockroach

how do we reach them with the truth?

hi bye npb

Hugs nahant, you’ll be in my prayers.

well, I had better get some sleep, for the safety of everyone traveling on I 70 tomorrow

I will miss you all if I don’t find a connection

take care and good nite

CT we all know the rethuglians are users. Vets do their duty and then are discarded… oh if they require medical treatment… well they can just go get it for themselves… The whole party is interested in nothing but money and the rest of us can go to hell..
Suz you get an exception as we all know how you feel and stand!

night NPB!!

g’nite neuro and safe travels withs lots of free wifi

Thanks Margot.. I been missing your art.. have you been creating any lately and not sharing them my way???

Safe travels Neuro:>)

Sounds like you are getting the best possible medical. You are a very positive person unlike other sick perople I know. My progosis (hunch) is that you are going to be just fine and don’t make me eat these words.
Eat right and get good regular exercise and rest well. There is great winter squash coming into the health food stores lovely eating spagetti, acorn and pumpkin baked or nuked with a little salt and spices or brown sugar and butter. Your life is too good to be sick dude.

1,739 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Bustedknuckles:

So sorry for your loses Brother ‘knuckles but try and remember what my Grampa Ole used ta say:”Growin old ain’t so bad when ya consider the alternative…you betcha!”

You’d think there would be some surcease of sorrow when we say goodbye to those who have lived full and honorable lives but even for those friends and relatives who have spent long and vigorous lives there is a missin beat in the heart and jest a bit less enthusiasm about the prospects for tomorrow when we realize the quality of the lives gone…and of course there is always the reminder of those left behind so many years ago who left in the full flower of youth so far away from home so long ago.

So hang in there Citizen Bustedknuckles, maybe there is rest for those who have earned it.

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, THE WRONG PEOPLE ARE DYIN’ YOUNG!!

That’s why Obama has a 6 to 1 advantage over McBush in soldiers’ contributions, even Ron Paul has beat out Mcbush…

Nahant:

I am keeping you in mind and heart and I wish for a good result for you.

hey norske

Aloha, neuro and safe traveling!

Hey Brother CT…Aloha! How does it feel ta live in such an exotic place?!! Ain’t Cockie Roberts amazingly stupid even for a fascist?

Maybe it’s “Cokie” Roberts …but anyway yua spell it it still comes out as stupid.

Thanks BB! Both of us have been looking closer at our diet as you know Julie had a Stent put in her heart. So we are looking for ways to cut down on the bad fat… Funny thing Julies cholesterol is only 107.. but they want her down to 70!! We have always eaten good food as some of you know I love to cook and try and make sure we are eating healthy… But I guess I just have to try even harder!

Thanks cleanth:>)

ok, pups, time for me to head out. g’nite all and thanks for hanging with me tonight

Heh, She was roundly criticized by Hawaii’s delegation…! The Army has sent me to some exotic locales in my 20 yrs, and, I’ve always considered Hawaii home…!

Aloha, Suz!

night Suz sleep well… see ya next late late night:>)

Little sister:>)

CT how goes the new job??

you talking about this little sister, aren’t ya kid?

poof

YEP! Sounds good to me Suz(:>)

I’m still waiting on the orientation…! They said it’ll be next week!

Y’know, Nahant, we are all in this together, and those are not merely cliche words. The older I get, the more it comes home to me that each day is eternity, a good practical sort of immortality.

That

And so, never send to know
for whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for Thee.

is how it is. So many losses, so many precious lives gone.

In a very “purple” book by Remy de Gourmont, he says that

Human wisdom is to live as if one were never to die
and to grasp the present moment as if it were eternal.

Please keep me in the picture, Nahant. I want to keep aware of this situation.

Time thinks its Mitt:) and Biden:( as VP.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/…..15647.html

I will be commenting on the 30th. Suz I am sure will be emailing Julie on the 29th and I know Suz will give you guys an update as to what we find out.

Well, I shall bid ya’ll a fond adieu! Aloha Oe!!!

Night CT

Nahant, my #136 is not to be interpreted as thinking that you are a goner! I was making general observations as well as expressing concern personally. When I re-read it, I saw that it might be interpreted as maudlin!

A goof “Natural Food store with all Organic will not have food perservatives and pesticides that accunulatr in your organs. By replacing “Supermarket food” with these foods you can eat the same without the load a chemicals. Second there are very tasty sources od “good” cholesterol or fatty acids. Butter is not one though I mix butter with cold pressed safflower oil. Get carotene from all the yellow orange veggies. Use stone ground flours and grains. Read a little bit. Did my pizza’s look apetizing?
Organics are more expensise but really a small percentage of your budget. Figure you are worth it. Over time as your body renews its tissue the toxins you have collected will disapear. Your lungs will reopen with a little stenuous exercise. The muscle will regain their tone and the circulatory system wqill re-anostomose the cappilary circulatory system and lymph system will flush. One of the classes was pathology where we inspected and identified organs and the disease that had dusted the people.
We have great bodies that can take a lot of shock and given the proper care will recover and refurbish itself. If you wanr data on preventative medicine I started in the health food industry in SF in 1968 their is a lot out there now.

Thanks Norske, I was out doing some last minute laundry.

Yep, it beats the alternative, “kickin’ up daisies”.

I sure didn’t read it that way.. I read it as talking about life as it really is. There is always the knowledge that there will come a time for the end but as you said live every day to its fullest and enjoy those you love while you can and don’t waste any of what you have been given!!

Damn. Remind to never watch that video clip while stoned. Not sure I could handle it without a massive freakout. Trippy.

Hey Suzzanne great tune. luv Stevie’s vibes..he celebrates. Thanks for the music.

Several years ago I head this track and immediately had the album ordered from Japan. Two Japanese girls singing Tom Waits while playing ukeleles. Hauntingly beautiful…”Hang Down Your Head” sample here:

Showin up is what counts..am sure the friends and relatives appreciate your kindness.

I have had a long and wild, woolly life (well, that’s certainly relative /s), but I speak truly when I aver that I have learned how to live and to BE from my precious cats.

Those are are some of the reasons that I have always had a veggie garden for all of my adult life… By the way the tomatoes are just tasting great.. Julie went to lunch with her student and his Mom and part of it was a salad. She came home and said she really didn’t like the tomatoes that came with it.

Our eggplant are just getting to the size to make my eggplant parmesan again!! Green beans are now coming in hot and heavy… even the big fat ones a full of moisture and taste great..

A Paradise for us Fuckin’ Dirty Hippies:

Sleep well cleanth!!

Another addition of how is the stock market doing or stuff you never see on business TV.
Remember when the Dollar was worth more than the Euro and eveyrone wanted to vacation there because it was so cheap?
Today according to Google Finance the DOW is at 11,430.21
The USD (United States Dollar) -Euro is .6716
http://finance.google.com/financ

The Dow’s was at a high of 14,093.08 on Oct 12, 2007. (My finger keeps slipping on the dot I thinks its the high) Anyway 14,093.08 – 11,430.21 = 2,662.87 loss for the year.
But wait what about inflation? Lets assume Bush never put us into debt for a second and that the U.S Dollar was still worth what the Euro was just what would the dow be worth then?
It takes .6716 Euros to equal a dollar so to make the math simple round up to .70 it takes 70 Euro pennies to equal a U.S dollar then.
So for every 10,000 the Dow is up subtract 3,000
For every 1,000 points the Dow is up subtract 300
and for every 100 points the Dow is up subtract 30
The Dow high of 14,093.08 I’ll round to 15,000 just to make the math easy and give the GOP a safety factor that favors them. (I always round up against what ever case I try to support to make sure I have a safety factor.)
Anyway Dow high of 15,000 (rounded up ) minus 4,500 ( when corrected for inflation is 10,500
Today the Dow is at 11,430.21 lets round up to 12,000
12,000 minus 3,600= a Dow high of 8,400
David Brooks says Bush gets no credit on the economy I think Bush gets to much credit!

10 year Dow chart.

http://finance.google.com/finance?cid=983582

Don’t have to look at charts to know the country is in the shit tank.. Gonna take a lot and a long time to clean up the mess this administration has made… Never let the kids play with the real thing only toys! Boy did they ever fuck up giving shrub the keys to the treasury.. broke the bank didn’t they and the war hasn’t even been factored in YET..

Fraking rethuglian US attorneys at it again.. as Scott says:

“The developments in Mississippi show exactly what Mukasey’s promise is worth.”

Well lQQks like the Sandman has struck the Lake… night pups see ya next late late night!!

nahant is an incredible spotwith sandy beaches on all side off of Lynn Mass.
Did you get to spend time there? Boston has the best museums, Universities and music. Culturally and historically the best of Irish, English and Cape Cod all pretty close. Are you planning to revisit Montpelier as well?

Nahant everybody knows the economy is bad, I don’t think everybody knows just how bad, especially the poor people who watch the business channels on cable.
I have not seen such pointless happy talk since my Highschool had a football pep rally for a football team that had lost every game of the season.
Sometimes you have to break things down and restate the obvious in simpler terms for the students who don’t get a subject. Not everyone gets math hey I don’t get it unless I work at it educating the voters is our job though, educating all of them.

nite Nahant!

On January 14 2000 when Bill Clinton was President the Dow was at 11,722.98
The U.S Dollar was worth .987361 U.S pennies to 1 Euro
http://www.x-rates.com/cgi-bin/hlookup.cgi

Look at my comment at 161 only instead of subtracting lets add to the value of Clinton’s Dow high to put that number in todays inflation adjusted terms.
Lets round down to 11,000 and then add 3,300 which would give us 14,300

In other words the Bush Dow at its highest point so far when adjusted for inflation has never beaten the Clinton Dow at its peak.
Despite 7 years worth of population growth which should have grown the economy. I lack the math to adjust the Dow for the lower population we had when Bill was President.
Anyone want to take a crack at it?

Plus lets not forget that in all my math I always rounded the numbers to help the GOP case and hurt the Dem case and still Bill won!

my summer home starting 1954.. we built a year around house in 62… I was truly lucky spent winters in South Boston and yes I visit most of the great museums … we were going to visit VT but things got in the way… Hope to get back to Nahant next year for my favorite nephews wedding… he found a real nice keeper:>)-Sometimes I miss not living there but the weather keeps me here in Redwood city where the weather has been declared best by government test:>) The sign downtown says SO!
(poof)

Nite Folks

Attaturk is upstairs!
Are you being served?
