Evening Suz

Ah man, Blues Brothers, thats a fav here.

i figured sweet home chicago was too obvious…

Hi Suz, nahant, CT, and everyone. Great relaxing and grooving music. I sure needed that.;)

nahant, just for you… ;-)

suz–on my way to hitting the feathers, saw the post…

omg, steve cropper…something in the way he moves. huge crush.must be his attitude. dunno.

Hiya! OK– Sarah Bernhardt on Watertigers pics? Please advise! Patty?

Digg fixed.

It’s a damn good thing they had the MGs backing them up. On another note, Oiligarchy’s a great game, get to play the part of oil executive, including some of the more vile shit they pull. Reminded me a little bit of 3rd World Farmer, another great flash game.

~~~ModNote: Edited for content. Some Flash links are crash-prone, and these have been removed.~~~

Dam and mine was first by one minute!! Oh well as long as it got Dugg Neuro!!
Were you able to use that utility to copy your files and settings over??

Dugg dear nahant – thanks for leading by doing. ;~)

saw it and thanks dmac – g’nite

A-ha, that makes three…! Aloha(again!)

Margot!
Hey, It is me.

Alright!!
And for all you pups following our Solar installation here is day two update!

Our network was down for a while so I couldn’t do it. Then I started wondering, do I really want to transfer all my files? Would my computer get confused if I had both Office 2000 and Office 2007? Would the security programs from my old computer conflict with the one on my new computer? Or do program files not transfer over? Just wanted to run that by you before I screw anything up.

I suggest you go, recommend, Digg, and leave a comment.

am i the only one still recovering from the election season – i swear, canada’s way of electing sure seems a whole hella lot more sane than the clusterfuck way we do it down here.

dayam, i killed my own thread by mentioning being tired

So it seems…!

Here is what you need, Suzanne

Hi Chris, dmac.;)

Suz, you didn’t kill your thread. I bet everyone is just bone tired.

I am also still recovering. After 4 days of GOTV I am having a hard time remembering what was going on in my regular life. Disorienting.

hahahah dayam, now i gotta get up, stand up and dance

Sweet dreams intrepid late late firedogs – always such a treat to catch you all in live time but if you’ll forgive the cliche, this ole brat is bushed. ;~)

I was going to drop a RGJoe link in to liven things up, but that droopy sucker still has his stripes.

So instead, classy, classy GOP strategist Tripp Baird.

Ja Mon! Marley!

g’nite npb ((( )))

Aloha, NPB!

nite npb

the only way hojo could liven up the lake is by being cashiered

Suzanne, if that didn’t do it, try this

i actually thought about using that tune tue nite

if we were still biting our nails waiting to learn who our next president was gonna be, i had anticipation in the queue

if those didn’t work, maybe something like this will…

Still exhaling here.

No Suz. We’re all recovering from the glee and the crazy. There’s no doubt it was a long haul and THEN some. The fun part? Our work has just begun.

For now? Party for this weekend(and finish moving my skinny but OUT), and then work to get things smooothed out and then one more weeklong world party after the Inauguration! XD

ohhhhhh that’s a good one – i fear, however, that the only thing that could get me amped tonight is choctow bingo by mcmurtry. alas, there is still not a good utube of it :

well, perhaps this would do some good…

i’ve always been partial to the dylan version

Daym both versions are freaking great in my book!!

neuro, i gotta admit, everytime i hear 61, it makes me think of 55

*crickets*

here is something that might stir you up a bit

I love the Peter Gunn theme.

Hi everyone.

that James McMurtry was a long one!

hey cujo

hey, Cujo

i have been trying to keep Suzanne awake, but apparently I put everyone to sleep

swoon – my first front page post here evah was neil

then for something a little different

carrying on and filling some dayam big shoes

Huh, what? Just resting my eyes.

How are you two, then? Are you settled in yet, Suzanne?

I am good, Cujo

Two days rested from Election Day

About ready to see what else is going on in the world

any lurkers out there want to take the stage for a while?

not settled but settling in. my pod is still in ca – i’m gonna have to get off my tushkie and face the fact that i still have the other half of the move to do. but i am settling into the flow of life on the bay. i lose hours staring out the window, watching the birds on the bay, the tide come and go. i love the way the clouds swirl around cape lookout, looking all wispy as it envelopes the trees.

of course, its not february yet (laughing) but so far, i like living on the coast in winter.

I’m about getting back to normal. Between election night and some other activities involving theatre, I’ve been up pretty late lately.

I saw Obama’s acceptance speech. It was very impressive. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house, I think.

I still here just moving a bit slower tonight… some nights things get out of hand and this is one of them(:>((

neuro did you use the easy transfer??

ok, after this i am really diving into the feathers—

here ya go.

sorry to hear that nahant but glad you are still here

I’ve been to the Washington coast in winter on a few occasions. Make sure you don’t have drafts in your house. Other than that, it should be lovely. For some reason, I think the ocean looks better when it’s overcast.

asked and answered nahant, see my 25

Nite, dmac.

mine sure weren’t

i’m on netarts bay with the ocean on the other side of the spit. i can’t see it but i can hear the roar of the surf.

i’m in a 100 year old house – of course there are drafts (laughing) but the jotul wood stove keeps me quite toasty.

Has anyone heard if the GOP has mentioned ACORN once? I’m wondering why they have not brought it up yet.

(((nahant))) sorry you are having one of those nights dood

Office 2007, bleh. I was recently presented with one of the new format presentations (a .ppx file or whatever). Nothing except Office 2007 plays this allegedly “open” format. Everything else I tried, including MS’s own conversion software, turned it into random flux variations on a hard drive.

Hi Cujo, good to see you.

Thanks neuro for your kind thoughts(:>))
Oh and thanks for the sunshine at my solar diary(:>))

Haven’t heard anything. I really don’t expect to, given the margin of victory in the Presidential campaign. It’s not as though they can point to one state and say “if we won that one, McCain would be the President-Elect”.

Of course, I could be wrong about that. They seem to live in an alternate universe some days.

Hi Margot. Likewise.

they make their own reality doncha know

here is a hopeful thought

it was just one of many smokebombs thrown by the McInsane Campaign

no substance whatsoever

peter gunn is my bomb shit, don’t even take me there ;)

Wish I could do that. I just haven’t figured out how to persuade others to fund it …

am i the only one still recovering from the election season – i swear, canada’s way of electing sure seems a whole hella lot more sane than the clusterfuck way we do it down here.

Just think of all the money we could save with publicly financed campaigns the network TV guys get the airwaves for free I believe the least they can do is provide some more free air time for local and National races.
After all what is cheaper a publicly financed campaign or the amount of cash that Obama and McCain raised?
Rather than waste that money on buying Sarah’s family a new wardrobe we voters could have spent that money on the economy.
If Obama looks good heading into the next House and Senate races the GOP might be willing to listen to the idea or maybe they need to lose to Obama again in four years.

KITTIES!

Not to worry neuro programs do not transfer over only files and settings! So go ahead and use it I have used it many times and have been very pleased with the results.
cujo office 07 does have those EXTRAS but you can also use it to save in down rev formats. The new formats have a lot more FEATURES in it thats also… Ya know whistles and bells!!

Agreed. Basically, it was a case of, shall we say, selective attention to facts. By the time I could get around to writing about it, quite a few folks had smacked the cretins who were spreading that stuff around pretty well already.

good to see you That Guy, I have been knocking myself out trying to find some upbeat tunes to keep Suzanne awake

don’t suppose you would have any delbert?

True but what about us does anyone else think that maybe Karl tweaked a few elections to help the GOP keep a few more Senate seats?
Karl did bend over backwards to move the GOP convention to try and screw Al Franken.
I wonder if Karl did some vote stealing to keep Al out of the Senate?
After all just think of all the material Al will get for another book after he is in the Senate?

do the right thing america – kitties

Drop in the bucket for the economy these days. That money would have bought a nice planetary probe or a couple of good medical research programs, though. Maybe the could have bought a few shredding trucks to add to the Vice President’s fleet.

Kitties definitely have my vote!

LEt the Good times roll

Love shack
Now that should open some eye lids!!

good times bad times

I expect Karl to start blaming Obama for the collapse in the stockmarket soon that and the GOP talking heads will all start spouting Conventional Wisdom about not raising taxes during a Depression.
Never mind that is what FDR did.

Roosevelt did not raise income taxes before World War II began; however payroll taxes were also introduced to fund the new Social Security program in 1937. He also got Congress to spend more on many various programs and projects never before seen in American history. However, under the revenue pressures brought on by the depression, most states added or increased taxes, including sales as well as income taxes. Roosevelt’s proposal for new taxes on corporate savings were highly controversial in 1936–37, and were rejected by Congress. During the war he pushed for even higher income tax rates for individuals (reaching a marginal tax rate of 91%) and corporations and a cap on high salaries for executives. In order to fund the war, Congress broadened the base so that almost every employee paid federal income taxes, and introduced withholding taxes in 1943.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt

Here is one for McCain and Palin

Looks like they were within a few hundred votes there, with a third party candidate (Minnesota – Land of 1000 Third Parties). If I were Karl, which of course means I wouldn’t have any ethical boundaries to speak of, I’d have been shoveling as much money as I could have into whatsisname’s campaign, figuring that most of his votes would have gone to Franken otherwise.

those are some good times alright, nahant!

1,818 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Suzanne and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

Ah sweet Sister Suezanne, last night of 4 in a row so keep the fire stoked and the tunes comin’…what a difference a Democratic election victory makes…and the humor is back in politics listenin’ ta the corporate media shills try and create a new mythology ta cover the death of the old one…Reagan is dead, long live democracy!!!

i’m sure your al sick of this by now but:

all year long:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7vyBpspBJQ

Part of the reason we’re in a recession is that there’s less capital, and part of the reason there’s less capital is because the federal government is borrowing money like crazy. Somehow, I think taxing people who have lots of money to pay for that debt isn’t going to hurt us under these circumstances.

I suspect this makes me part of the lunatic fringe. It’s a place I’m feeling more comfortable lately.

a little mellower but so true, not even for John!!

oh, i love that one

however – this has mcsame/phailin all over it

hey norske – looking foward to your nites off?

Letterman McCain is saying to himself “If only I didn’t anger Dave”

Deficit spending had been recommended by some economists, most notably by John Maynard Keynes of Britain. Some economists in retrospect have argued that the National Labor Relations Act and Agricultural Adjustment Administration were ineffective policies because they relied on price fixing.[54] The GNP was 34% higher in 1936 than in 1932 and 58% higher in 1940 on the eve of war. That is, the economy grew 58% from 1932 to 1940 in 8 years of peacetime, and then grew 56% from 1940 to 1945 in 5 years of wartime

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt

My bold 58% growth in 8 years 58/8=7.25% growth a year during peacetime after an economic collapse not bad.
We tried things Hoover’s Bush’s way for 8 years Obama needs to try the FDR way he needs to sell his economic policy by saying this is what FDR did after Hoover gave us the Great Depression after another period of Republican Economics.

How about some Lee Roy Parnell?

Lee Roy taught me a lot about slide guitar.

My favorite version also with all those great sceans!! and yes that one sums them up well!!

Any word on the latest from Al Franken?

Sorry my 105 was for Norske

Sorry make that my 113

The David Letterman effect? LOL

A little Jethro to keep you awake!!

I expect the GOP to scream that regulation on business will cost jobs. Our reply should be sure poison cat food makers in China will all be unemployed if Obama gets the FDA working again.

It was well delivered!!

What is it about Late Late Night that makes it so easy to write comments I might turn into Diaries? For politically aware people Late Late Night is like a creative writing class.
Its free writing with feedback.

Cool!

funny how that works isn’t it!

the no pressure free flowing off topic is the topic? i don’t know but i gotta admit that the late late nite comments have always been my favorites. we can get all silly or can dig deep into the wonky bits. or both at the same time. i don’t know what it is that makes lln special, but i do know it is special.

and Jane for putting up with us!

not to mention the ever-watchful Lurking Mod

On my good days, yes.

Moving from a regulated economy to a less regulated economy produces cost savings as people cut corners. Looser strings on borrowing provides cash for new ideas and cheap credit means that more people can buy.
The problem is that like any drinking binge you crash sooner or later.
The GOP like an Alky though never remembers the hangover they remember the Buzz.
Early success breeds confidence that you are infallible and the market will keep going up every bubble is about to burst when the regular players start believing their own sales pitch/scam.
When other people not insiders enter a market they don’t understand with big money and start believing a con job based on past success then the bubble might have only a few years left.
A big enough bubble worldwide can leave no safe place for your cash.

Ditto to your last three comments, actually.

I think Suz at 126 explains how it works good.
Hmmm why it works I don’t know but given that we are the premier night owl blog I wonder why Starbucks and red bull don’t advertise here?

The GOP like an Alky though never remembers the hangover they remember the Buzz.

Do they even remember? I’m not being snarky, I’m just wondering. This sort of economic collapse has happened, for slightly different reasons each time, at least four times (sorry, long article, scroll about halfway down) in our history. To remember the boom of those times seems to inevitably mean you also remember the busts.

Citizen ThingsComeUndone:

Bingo…I hope you expand many of the thoughtful musings you’ve made here late nights. This is indeed a wonderful “petrie dish” of thought, rants and poetry of the life of thoughtful and engaged people (kinda like “talkin’ union blues” of the soul). I like the late night ‘cuz it provides time for the friendship part of relationships of people involved with their world.

Like I once said to a self important academic type who never did understand Emily Dickenson’s poem: “Welcome to the swamp Professor Frog”…and give us the links to yer diaries.

Tea or Yerba Matte for me Coffee seems to acidic now as I get older but once in a while I binge on fair trade stuff.

I say give obama a chance to show us what he can do

let him do it his way for 2 years and do not get him all bogged down with idealogical issues, let him try to make government work for us by whatever means necessary

keep the pressure on to move in the right direction, but do not cripple his ability to succeed by demanding perfection on every issue

we have been handed a great opportunity for positive change. let’s not blow it.

I suppose they might be, but they’re also generally well insulated from the consequences of economic failure. Generally, they aren’t the ones who will be out of work for years, or will lose their homes. They’ll lose a pile of cash they never had much real connection to in the first place, but they won’t be trying to figure out which brand of dog food goes best with $0.35 cent mac and cheese dinners, either.

well the republicans can do a lot to obstruct and delay, I would give him more time to work things out

by 100 days we should have some idea what kind of progress he is making, but I think he deserves more time than that to achieve major results

Walk, don’t run :-)

nite margot

I say tell him what we want in no uncertain terms right now. There’s some stuff (for instance, what I mention in that link) that he’s going to have to work on the moment he takes office. Don’t let him think he has any free time to start working on whatever Rahm Emanuel will have him doing.

Citizen Suzanne:

Birday party for a grandaughter, puttin the boat up with my son, spendin’ time with my two incredible daughters who are part of Obama’s army of the daylight and sittin in front of the HiDef watchin DVD’s that Mrs. Norske and I have promised each other we’d see before we croak.

I’d like to get specific.
Top, perhaps in the top 3 domestic priorities – fix New Orleans immediately.

…and of course I gotta cut the roses back and mulsh ‘em…poor things started bloomin again a couple a weeks ago…I think I’m gunna use “rose cones” this year.

sounds like a mighty fine weekend norske.

Gotta disagree, Suze. This is my favorite road song.

what are rose cones norske?

Citizen Suzanne:

We ain’t there yet dear heart…but we’re closin in.

not at the estrogen palace dood – my girls and i started every road trip with the morrison hotel cassette, then the cd and would play that entire side of the album.

tis a fine way to start road trips.

“What are roase cones, norske?”

They’re styrofoam cone-covers for mulched roses to keep ‘em from freezin out…gotta be careful with ‘em ‘cuz ya ken get mold if ya don’t let the plants dry out well first

That link was one of my specific priorities, and it will take quite a bit of his attention in the early days. Fixing what he can of NOLA should be another. And getting us the heck out of Iraq the third.

Unfortunately, I think reversing the trend on human rights has to be the first priority, or we won’t even be able to argue about the rest much longer. I’ve never been so fearful that we’ll become a dictatorship with only the trappings of democracy as I am right now.

And, as I wrote, I think it’s something that Obama will probably ignore if we let him.

Well, you know for me, Lee Roy trumps just about everyone. He’s a good friend, too.

I strongly suspect that my Condo’s electrical wiring was not done by Union contractors but in a deregulated housing market in a bubble time is money and short term expense is disregarded.
However if my Condo board has its way the Contractor will pay to fix it and pay for every false fire alarm the Fire Dept has had to respond to.
Its like smoking the costs get passed off to the future but with time the costs grow.
Then like an addict the Contractors blame the Lawyers we consumers have to use to get them to pay for stuff that should have been fixed in the first place.

;)

oh – so ya do that instead of burying em for the winter?

I mean domestic. Internationally the list is so long and arduous that he can pick.
But here at home, all these years later – that city still suffers grievously, and is very near to being a criminal enterprise.

Devote the next year of the ACoE to building the best levees on the planet. We know how to do it, and if we don’t know, we know who does.

Nite Margot

No, I mulch ‘em (bury ‘em) AND cone ‘em ‘cuz out here on the semi frozen tundra the winters get awfully cold and I haven’t had a lotta luck bringin my roses back in the Spring…though I think we get a lotta southern hybrids up here that jest can’t handle the cold.

my landlord has all kinda roses around here – there are still a few blooms but there are some massive rosehips on the larger bushes. i can’t wait to see and smell this garden come spring.

Respect for human rights needs to be restored both in our international dealings and here at home.

As for purely domestic issues, besides the economy I don’t think Obama will be able to get much done. If we’re very lucky, we won’t be in a full blown depression this time next year.

That’s the sad part of this. This will be another Democratic administration whose primary job will be cleaning up the mess of the previous one.

An old acquaintance who loved roses once told me that if you live in the north, it’s best to get European roses. They tend to be hardier than the domestic breeds. Don’t know if it’s true, but it makes sense. Out where I live, though, just about anything that isn’t a tropical plant can survive.

norske, the rose on the bay side stairs to the deck is still showing color but tonight’s wind just may be whipping the last of the petals off.

Well, it’s time for me to pumpkinize, too. Have fun, everybody.

If a government has a covenant with those it fucked over (actually it has a covenant with those yet to be fucked over, but that’s another discussion), they it doesn’t allow them to live in dangerous trailers, subject them to terrifying legal peril with a private army on patrol, and gentrify the home of anyone.

Have you ever checked David Austin for roses? English company that also has sourcing in US. When I talked with them on the phone for suggestions for varieties especially suited for my location, they were very helpful. Let me know if you want the contact info.

Maybe Suz can go to the Powells next to the Rose Garden in Portand between the books store and the Rose garden they should have some good advice then maybe you can order the good roses online and hope for more global warming.

Retailers reported the worst October sales figures since at least 1971, a grim harbinger for the holiday shopping season. The report sent stocks lower for a second straight day, handing the Dow Jones index its biggest two-day percentage loss since Wall Street’s October 1987 collapse.

Though $25 billion in new quick loans from the government appears to be the most likely course, many other details remain to be hammered out, and even that amount could be insufficient, given the massive losses General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. are expected to report this morning. Expectations of today’s news sent GM’s shares down 13.7% on Thursday.

I want to hear that the money is going to electric cars and hybrids. I want to hear that every car will be one.
I want to hear that GM and Ford are licensing the Atera and putting a bigger version into production with the magic of cheaper if you buy in bulk and mass production I think they can get the cost down.
That and Obama can give out tax breaks.

With the All Electric Aptera, it is very easy to figure out the mileage range. The mileage is determined by the distance you can drive, under normal circumstances, until the batteries are effectively drained. In the case of the first Aptera typ-1e, we have calculated the range to be about 120miles.

With the Plug-in Electric Hybrid version of the Aptera(typ-1h) the mileage of the vehicle is difficult to describe with one number. For example, the Typ-1h can drive 40 to 60 miles on electric power alone. Perhaps for such a trip, the engine may only be duty-cycled for a few seconds or minutes. This would produce a fantastic number, an incredible number that, though factually true, would have no useful context, i.e. it’s just a point on a graph.

An asymptotic decaying exponential is an accurate way to describe the fuel mileage of the Typ-1h. For example driving say, 50 miles, one might calculate a MPG number that’s 2 or 3 times higher, say, 1000 MPG. As battery energy is depleted, the frequency of the engine duty cycle is increased. More fuel is used at 75 miles, the MPG might be closer to 400 MPG. Again, we’re using battery energy mostly, but turning the engine on more and more. Just over 100 miles we’re just over 300 MPG, and just beyond 120 miles, we’re around 300 MPG.

Nov. 7 (Bloomberg) — Investor David Booth, who credits his success to the “life-changing” experience studying at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, donated $300 million to the school, the largest gift in the university’s history.

“The very first course I took at the University of Chicago was taught by Eugene Fama and it was a life-changing event for me,” Booth said in the statement. “I remember Professor Fama standing up the first day of class and saying `This is the most practical course you will ever take,’ and it turned out to be true. We built Dimensional Fund Advisors around his set of ideas.”

Fama, 69, who has been referred to as the father of modern finance, is best known for his theory that capital markets are so efficient they embody the collective wisdom of all buyers and sellers, according to the university. In 1980, Fama accepted Booth’s invitation to put his theories to work as a member of the management committee of Dimensional Fund Advisors. He thanked Booth today for what he called an incredible gift.

From their own web site lots of funds the lowest I could see YTD (year to date) was a 58.42% loss at its Emerging Market Small Cap fund.
The best fund they had was only down 10.37% that was Global 25/75(I)
I commend then for having relatively up to date numbers but with a loosing fund why attract attention?
