Overnight Open Thread (3-14-2014) - [Niedermeyer's Bossy Horse]
— Open Blogger

Hello my pretties. ItÂ’s a beautiful Winter night in NE Florida. The air has just a slight chill, and IÂ’m lounging about in my pajamas (as all good bloggers are known to do), sipping on a glass of screw top wine. AndÂ… IÂ’m bored and IÂ’m feeling bossy. That means you will suffer through this ONT and like it because IÂ’m behind the wheel of this ship for the moment and the power is surging through my veins. I am invincible! Bwaaahahahahaha!

Anita Hill has reared her head yet again. Last night she appeared on The Daily Show where she essentially claimed to have single-handedly made sexual harassment a bad thing as if, silly as it sounds, we all thought it was a good thing before she showed up on the scene. Anyway, she is now the subject of a documentary, 'Anita'.

ANITA tells the story about a young, brilliant African American Anita Hill who accuses the Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of unwanted sexual advances during explosive Senate Hearings in 1991 and ignites a political firestorm about sexual harassment, race, power and politics that resonates 20 years later today. ANITA is a dramatic look at the consequences to a private citizen acting out of a civic duty to 'speak truth to power.' For the first time on film Anita Hill speaks about her experience in the Senate Hearings, her impact on issues of sexual harassment, workplace rights for women and men, social justice and equality. The film is about the empowerment of girls and women, and men, through the extraordinary story of Anita Hill.

It will be released March 21.

Last night I added a link in the sidebar to one of Chuck LorreÂ’s more laughable vanity cards but IÂ’m linking it here as well because, as I told youÂ…. I am in charge. The archive contains more than 400 such vanity cards and if you search for something like oh, say, Â“Fox NewsÂ”, you will find that Mr. Lorre is no fan (see #447) (h/t Weirddave). This, however, might be my favorite, and dates back to February 2009 when the world was on the brink of rapture:

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #239
TO DO LIST
Live to see a highly educated, deeply thoughtful, articulate, cool, biracial President who is not overly crippled by childhood wounds and capable, in no particular order, of freeing the nation of its oil dependence, restoring its international standing, creating universal health care, resurrecting the economy, ending two wars, rebuilding the public education system, finally bringing about an end to the mindlessness of racism, encouraging science and technology, firmly addressing environmental issues and global warming, and uniting the nation - and the world - in a giant cultural, tipping point leap forward.
Meet super-intelligent aliens who disarm the entire planet, cure every disease and take us all for rides across the galaxy.
Play a round of par golf.
Trade solos with Eric Clapton.
Win an Emmy.
Get married, stay married.
One down, five to go.

How's that working out for ya. Chuck?

After tweeting the above link, one of the Morons Morons dropped this preposterous little piece in my lap. It dates all the way back to June 2008 and it so cringe-worthy that I couldnÂ’t even click on page two. This might be known to some of you, but it was new to me and I am in awe.

Behold, the most absurd piece of journalism youÂ’ll read all day:

I find I'm having this discussion, this weird little debate, more and more, with colleagues, with readers, with liberals and moderates and miserable, deeply depressed Republicans and spiritually amped persons of all shapes and stripes and I'm having it in particular with those who seem confused, angry, unsure, thoroughly nonplussed, as they all ask me the same thing: What the hell's the big deal about Obama?
I, of course, have an answer. Sort of.
Warning: If you are a rigid pragmatist/literalist, itchingly evangelical, a scowler, a doubter, a burned-out former '60s radical with no hope left, or are otherwise unable or unwilling to parse alternative New Age speak, click away right now, because you ain't gonna like this one little bit.
Ready? It goes likes this:
Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway.

You really have to read it to grasp what it is that we were truly up against in 2008. Simply delusional.

In the little bastards department, comes this story out of Utah: Boy calls 911 After Mom Says No to Oreos

HONEYVILLE, UT (KSTU) - A 7-year-old boy is gaining attention after placing a misleading 911 call.
Officers in Honeyville, Utah, said the young boy called 911 claiming that his mom had thrown a knife at him. When deputies responded to the home, they found out his story wasn't exactly true.
The 7-year-old eventually came clean to officers, telling them he lied to the 911 dispatcher because his mom wouldn't give him more Oreo cookies.
Officers said they had a long talk with the boy about what 911 is for, and that frivolous use of 911 can result in criminal charges.
Officials said the boy is too young to be arrested

Would it be too harsh to make the little poop eat Oreos until he puked?

HereÂ’s a small break from your suffering. IÂ’m bossy, not cruel.

What follows is one of the most amazing nature videos IÂ’ve ever seen. In it, a dolphin swims to divers and, essentially, asks for help. Just incredible.

When I said that you will suffer through this ONT, I meant it. Hence, the worldÂ’s worst family photo:

@DanRiehl have you seen the creepiest family photo possibly ever pic.twitter.com/mXcc53VoIE

Quiznos has filed for bankruptcy protection. It seems to me that the market is pretty well saturated with sub shops and new companies are popping up on a regular basis. They never stood out from the pack: Their food wasnÂ’t a standout. Their pricing wasnÂ’t a standout. And, as a marketeer, I feel quite comfortable in pointing out that when George M. Cohan said "I don't care what you say about me, as long as you say something about me, and as long as you spell my name right.Â” he most certainly didnÂ’t have this little bit of marketing genius in mind:

It doesnÂ’t matter that you call them Â“SpongemonkeysÂ”, they look like rats. And they are singing about how much they like your subs. BTW, when you go to You Tube and type in Â“QuiznosÂ” youÂ’re given a couple of options, one of which is Â“Rat CommercialÂ”.

That ainÂ’t good.

Although football season is over, things are aÂ’movinÂ’ and aÂ’shakinÂ’ in the league. Eric Decker goes to the Jets. Steve Smith has reached a deal with the Ravens. Darren Sproles signed with Philly. Follow the latest on twitter at NFL on ESPN ESPN and NFL.

And, speaking of football, CDR M sends along this little delight. Run, doggeh, run!

Tonight's ONT brought to you by that other great air mystery:

40 When the earlier version of the ONT was up, I took the time to paste it into Word and count the number of words Lorre used for his first entry. 91 words.

On finding his soulmate "til death do us part"? Four.

Lorre will never love a woman even 4.4 percent as much as he loved Obama in 2009.

116 whats with the Ewok love for HBO? I have that channel now for free and I never watch coz the shows suck. (I'm actually a fan of the Game of Thrones books, but the tv series is tedious - gave up midway through season 1. Same with True Blood - read all the books, only watched a couple of tv eps) Posted by: votermom There is no accounting for taste. That said Game of Thrones, Rome, Deadwood, etc; they're interesting because the scripts aren't written for 7 year-olds with ADD. The characters' lives don't reset after each episode. They aren't infected by the Bad Guy of The Week disease. The dialog (Deadwood's biggest strength) isn't that usual combination of predictable exclamations and cringeworthy cliches. In short, they aren't the boring crap on network TV, that's why.

The two shops by Lackland closed while we were there (even though they were always busy), and now we have to drive half an hour from Offutt to get to one. I doubt Quizno's has an official anti-military policy, but it does seem stupid for them to never put shops by bases.

I think they existed before Quizno's adopted them, on a site called rathergood.com, or something close to that, and I think they were likewise called "Spongmonkeys" (no e) before they were ever in an ad. IIRC there was also a character from the site called "Mr. Stabby", who visited a public swimming pool, with unfortunate results.

I cancelled it & then my older brother told me that all the series from last 12 years or so were on demand. I loved John Adams & did not watch it when it was on and also loved Angels in America. I am going to watch them again & probably Mildred Pierce & a few others. I donÂ’t want to watch Sopranos or SATC again. I have seen them all. Girsl, Veep, Looking & those are the shows that arenÂ’t worth watching. I have watched several Showtime series in past five years vs none for HBO. Shameless is hysterically funny, as is Nurse Jackie. Dexter was great, but I did not watch it when it was on, I watched it early last year on demand from Season 1 and then watched last season. Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex, are both great dramas. I canÂ’t think of the name of Clalire DaneÂ’s series but that was great. I donÂ’t know how it will be next year.

192 HBO has definately had some misses, but they have put on some of the best shows in TV history. The Sopranos, The Wire, Rome, Deadwood, Generation Kill, Game of Thrones, and now True Detective.

I think the only one of those that could be described as cancelled would be Deadwood, the rest that have ended just ran their course. Which is a plus, btw. I would rather a show end instead of just dragging on year after year, when they have run out of steam.

203 Weft Cut Loop, arenÂ’t most of them cancelled now? Posted by: Carol Game of Thrones has lasted longer than the others. Rome was 2 truncated, rushed seasons. And Deadwood was only 3. I don't mind the UK format where the producers only expect to run one season. THe US TV production is predicated on hiring a large crew with a big budget, so the additional seasons are only a matter of keeping the stars salaries low. I never was into the show about Vampires, and havenÂ’t watch any of the series on HBO in years. I cancelled it & then my older brother told me that all the series from last 12 years or so were on demand. I loved John Adams & did not watch it when it was on and also loved Angels in America. I am going to watch them again & probably Mildred Pierce & a few others. I donÂ’t want to watch Sopranos or SATC again. I have seen them all. I've seen a few episodes of True Blood but I thought it could have been better. I like the 2 John Adams epis I saw, still looking for the others. Girls, Veep, Looking & those are the shows that arenÂ’t worth watching. Never saw a single one. Shameless is hysterically funny, as is Nurse Jackie. Dexter was great, but I did not watch it when it was on, I watched it early last year on demand from Season 1 and then watched last season. Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex, are both great dramas. I canÂ’t think of the name of Clalire DaneÂ’s series but that was great. I donÂ’t know how it will be next year. Homeland, yeah, haven't seen any of those. I think Damian Lewis is cool. I really liked 'Life'; pissed when they cancelled it, but the last few episodes were horrendous dreck.

My older brother tells me what he knows I will like, he's never mentioned Game of Thrones to me. Angels in America is one of the best original series I have seen. It takes place in 1980s when Reagan was president. It's very anti Reagan because of AIDS, butt that is Hollyweird for you.

244 I liked the first season of True Blood. I thought they had an interesting premise: a synthetic substitute for human blood is invented, so vampires come out of the shadows and admit their existence. They started to reveal this whole vampire society with their own quasi government, and it looked like it would be interesting to see that world explored as the show went on.

But, in every subsequent season, they have added new kinds of creatures. Minotaurs, werewolves, werecats, shapeshifters, fairies, etc. It just became harder and harder to accept the premise: that this whole time these creatures have coexisted secretly with humans. When it was just vampires, ok, suspend disbelief and go along for the ride. But with every new creature they introduce, it gets further away from reality and deeper into a cartoon fantasy. They might as well bring on the super heroes.

269 Dexter is another one. They started out with a great premise. A very young child watches his mother get slaughtered in front of his eyes. The investigating police officer is moved by his plight, so he adopts him. As the child grows up, the LEO recognizes the signs that the child has the personality traits of an antisocial, potential serial killer type. So, he teaches him to hunt other killers, and gives him a code to live his life by. If he follows the code, he can get his rocks off killing people, but since the people he is killing are themselves killers, society, including the cops, are not going to be so interested in investigating their disappearances.

But, then they decide they need new material for later seasons, so Dexter, the supposed sociopath, falls in love, gets married, has kids, etc. It all violates the premise the show started with and it is just BS.

277 I think piloting MH370 over the Bay of Bengal to India is highly risky; the plane likely had not enough fuel to reach Pakistan, and India would have been alerted. Landing on one of the Andaman islands seems possible, but we've seen how that plays out. Amelia Earhart is still missing. A recent CNN briefing about MH370 shows 2 search areas: one to the south, along the west coast of Sumatra, and the other north, stretching up to ... Burma. Burma is just up the coast from Kuala Lumpur. Just follow the lights along the coast. There's mention that landing a 777 isn't a major problem, even on dirt ... it's the takeoff. Rangoon has a reasonable airport, and the government is headed towards Kim Jong Ill whackiness.

I thought that HBO mini series 'From The Earth To The Moon' was really great.

It was back in the 90's.

The first season of 'Rome' was rather good.

Excellent set details and wardrobe....they spent a lot going in because it was supposed to be a 5 yr series.

But it got cancelled for being so expensive, and they crammed too much in the 2nd final season.

Shame too...it woulda been a great long term series.

Posted by: andycanuck at March 15, 2014 12:03 AM (hn5v5) The Catholic Church's handling of pedophile priests by shuffling them around instead of having them arrested was sinful and inexcusable. Guess how public schools handled similar teachers for decades. If anyone bothered to take a comprehensive look at how these cases were handled in public schools in the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties, guess what they would find. We had a few in the public school system I attended. Never arrested. Disappeared in the middle of the school year. Ended up teaching in other districts.

295 My problems with the show were 1) The "vampirism = homosexuality" message. 2) The fact that you have a population of creatures that have admitted to feeding on humans for centuries and they weren't sued into oblivion.

Yes, that whole vampirism as an allegory for homosexuality was always there, but it wasn't so in your face in the first season as it was in the later seasons. I think that is part of why they kept adding new kinds of creatures: to make sure everyone knew they were supposed embrace the whole range of weirdos.

They did raise the issue of how, yes the vampires are now (supposedly) drinking the synthetic blood, but obviously, they were all hunting and killing people before they came out.

311 92 Amelia Earhart is only a mystery if you ignore the facts of what was found. They crash landed and died on an island in the Pacific. They even spotted their remains. Posted by: buzzion at March 15, 2014 12:05 AM (LI48c) Mmm hmm. It's not quite that simple. Scores if not hundreds of books have been written about the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. The three best ones I've read are: The Search for Amelia Earhart by Fred Goerner (1966) This is the one that postulates that she was captured by the Japanese. Apparently the author corresponded extensively with Admiral Nimitz. Supposedly her plane was found on Saipan in 1944 and ordered destroyed. Finding Amelia by Ric Gillespie (2006) He thinks she crash landed on Gardner's Island and survived for a period of time. Apparently the British recovered human remains in 1940 that were subsequently lost. And there is an absolutely harrowing account by a teenaged girl in New Jersey who heard distress calls on the radio and wrote down notes in a notebook that survives. Amelia Earhart: The Mystery Solved by Elgen M. Long (1999) Long is a pilot and analyzes the Electra's fuel consumption. He says that there is no fucking way she could have made it to Gardner's Island and must have ditched in the ocean near Howland Island. So there are three riveting, convincing, compelling books, which point in different and mutually exclusive directions. Read them all and you'll be like me: I have no idea what actually happened. But I definitely do recommend them all.

316 The Catholic Church's handling of pedophile priests by shuffling them around --------------- I will reiterate for the umpteenth time. The term 'pedophile' was insisted upon by GLAAD et al, to deflect from the fact that the priests were homosexual predators. GLAAD leaned on all of the network news departments to use that word as a deflection. In point of fact, none of the victims were pre-pubescent, as is implied by 'pedophile'. GLAAD realized that using the term pedophile would be less damaging, because 'pedophiles' are sick, and by doing so there would be no inclination for people to identify homosexuals as sick.

352 The dolphin video was tres cool. Coincidentally, I was having dinner with some friends earlier this evening and one of them showed me a video on his phone of an eagle swimming, using the breast stroke, to haul his too heavy to lift prey to shore.

There are several youtube videos showing eagles doing this so it wasn't a one off. So then I start talking about the compassion of animals, elephants in particular, starting with this story from this week:

Finding Amelia by Ric Gillespie (2006)

He thinks she crash landed on Gardner's Island and survived for a period of time. Apparently the British recovered human remains in 1940 that were subsequently lost.

You are ignoring that they also found A woman's shoe, an empty bottle and a sextant box whose serial numbers are consistent with a type known to have been carried by Noonan were all found near the site where the bones were discovered. They were also human remains of a female of european origin at a height of Earhart.

It illustrates the tightrope Hillary would have to walk though. If this is fair game, a lot of inconvenient stuff on her side is fair game. She's have to simultaneously say the stuff that pertains to her is irrelevant, as is Benghazi, because what does that matter anymore anyway, yet things beyond that are still relevant.

They also seemed to specialize in entrees made with quality cuts of steak and prime rib, which was also a nice touch. However it was probably one of the things that made them inadvertently unpopular with the sub sandwich crowd-- not too many folks are willing to spend $15 on lunch very often.

371 Splunge had the true history of the spongmonkeys. The animator, Joel Veitch, was a popular contributor to b3ta.com (and had his own site, Rathergood) a viral meme-generating UK centric photoshop/ flash/ message board before there were meme generators. (It's still highly trafficked but at its peak of cult cool in the very early aughts.). I'm so old I front paged there with my mad skill a time or two. Spong was an inside joke on the message board, and it was putting off kilter googley eyes on pictures, as in old Monty python animations. Often they were put in a few frames of an animated gif. The spong monkeys took this joke to new heights. Viking kittens are probably more popular and remembered, but I always liked JVs spong monkeys more than anything.

U.S. to relinquish remaining control over the Internet By Craig Timberg, Friday, March 14, 5:19 PM U.S. officials announced plans Friday to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move likely to please international critics but alarm some business leaders and others who rely on smooth functioning of the Web. Pressure to let go of the final vestiges of U.S. authority over the system of Web addresses and domain names that organize the Internet has been building for more than a decade and was supercharged by the backlash to revelations about National Security Agency surveillance last year. Â“The timing is right to start the transition process,Â” said Lawrence E. Strickling, assistant secretary of commerce for communications and information. Â“We look forward to ICANN convening stakeholders across the global Internet community to craft an appropriate transition plan.Â” The practical consequences of the decision were not immediately clear, but it could alleviate rising global complaints that the United States essentially controls the Web and takes advantage of its oversight role to help spy on the rest of the world. U.S. officials set strict conditions and an indeterminate timeline for the transition from federal government authority, saying that a new oversight body must be created and win the trust of crucial stakeholders around the world, officials said. An international meeting to discuss the future of Internet is scheduled for March 24, in Singapore. This can't be good Posted by: Nevergiveup at March 14, 2014 06:12 PM

I never bought that story about Rome having to end because the set was so expensive. Even if it is true that it was one of the most expensive sets ever, once it was built, the money would have already been sunk. Since you already paid to build that whole thing, that is an argument to get as much out of it as you can, not to just throw it all away.

There most certainly can be homosexual pedophiles.

Interestingly, they try to claim that pedophiles are heterosexuals even if they do it with young boys.

It's been toned down of late as they finally got the message that it was hurting them but NAMBLA was always a part of the SF Gay Pride parade's and other cities also.

It's all really part of a "were all marginalized by our sexual preference so let's band together against the straights/breeders" kind of attitude.

That's how I read "Feast for Crows" except there it was Arya scenes.

There is a version of A Feast for Crows / A Dance With Dragons on the torrent sites, where someone has gone to the trouble of patching the two books back together into one book, with the timeline reintegrated. I plan on rereading the whole series, so this time I will try reading that combination instead when I get to that point. The first time I read Feast for Crows, I didn't read it very carefully as I was so anxious to get back to the story lines that were left hanging at the end of A Storm of Swords.

Posted by: Mike Hammer at March 15, 2014 12:30 AM (aDwsi)

I am prepared to believe that the family are nudists, or "naturists", or whatever, and that the photograph is not overtly sexual. But if they have those beliefs, and practice nudism/naturism, they should also practice sufficient discretion NOT to have photos made which could be taken the wrong way.

It's kind of like posing for a photo, with a gun in your hand, finger on the trigger. Maybe you made absolutely certain that there was no mag in the gun, and no round in the chamber, but people looking at the photo can't know that, and will assume the worst.

There was a Roger Zelazny story (or it may have been the sequel by Walter Jon Williams) The Graveyard Heart, in which a group of very wealthy people spend most of their time in suspended animation, waking only to attend major parties, sometimes only one night out of a year. They become more and more disconnected from the society they left behind. At one juncture a character murders another. The murdered man is resurrected by the far future technology but his murderer must still be punished. So the killer is executed and then also resurrected.

Presumably the 777 is equipped with GPS, which is now sufficiently accurate to tell me which ramp I'm on in a parking lot. You could undoubtedly land an airliner by GPS, if you were obliged to. And GPS is passive; so it does not necessarily have to send a signal to the world to announce where you are.

511 "Why hijack that plane and not use it for something right away?" Maybe he/they did. Crashed it. Those engine data reports say that the engines either ran out of fuel or were about to run out when the engines shut down. Craig D. Button, USAF pilot, did a similar thing in 97. Left formation on a training flight, flew hundreds of miles to Gold Dust Mountain near Vail, CO. He crashed into it, on purpose. The mountain apparently had some significance to him. He had two minutes of fuel left when he crashed. He circled the mountain twice first. Military's theory was that he feared his gay lifestyle was about to be revealed.

Posted by: eman at March 15, 2014 01:54 AM (AO9UG)

+++

This is the question. It strongly suggests state sponsorship of whatever is going on. Sure, a bunch of terroists taking over a plane and then crashing it or holding the passengers as hostages until their demands are met isn't that complicated. But, if that isn't it, then what is it? A crash seems less and less likely as time goes on and no debris showing up anywhere.

So, that means it landed somewhere. And that means some government letting it happen. There is no way a plane that size can land on some dirt runway hidden in a cornfield, for example. And, how many governments are willing to take on China? If it turns out that Iran, for example, disappeared all those Chinese citizens so they could get a plane for some future terrorist attack, China will not just sit still. For that matter, other than the Uyghurs, what group, governmental or not, is going to want to publicly shame the Chinese government in this way? It would be considered an act of war. If the plane was just crashed somewhere, even if it was a bunch of Iranian nationals behind it, the government of Iran could just claim that they were not acting under governmental authority. But, whoever let that plane land and has since been concealing it will not be able to get away with that fiction.

It also makes me wonder if the reason this info is dribbling and drabbling out, getting retracted, modified, and expanded, is all a smoke screen. Maybe the US knows more than it is letting on, and is watching to see who does what in the vicinity of where the plane is.

Yep, back in the day he was just another SF writer whose stuff I'd only read if bored and lacking any alternatives. The first thing I can recall seeing by him was in a 'Year's Best SF' probably for 1973 or 1974. (Unrelated to the similarly named anthology series that came later.) It was a story called 'The Storms of Windhaven.' Now, I was only about ten years old at the time but it bored the hell out of me, while most of the other stories in the book were pretty good. Especially one about a robot astronaut that find itself in a parallel universe orbiting a world similar to the Earth it left but far more primitive and vulnerable to a coming alien invasion. (The world he has found himself stuck in is apparently ours.) He convinces the Ground Control crew at Houston that he is the first wave of an alien invasion and purposely crashes so as to leave as much technology intact as possible in hopes humanity will be ready when the real invaders show up.

I remember the title of the story being Hellbent-4 but I cannot find any reference for that title. Anyway, Martin never did much for me. The only thing associated with him that I've liked is the Wild Cards series, which is mainly written by other people with him serving as editor.

They do, however, have some Cuban American writer with explicit sex scenes between 15 year olds taught in the nine grade, so there's that. :^(

Due to the type of satellite data they are not able to confirm the precise location when it last made contact, hwoever it is determined that the last location was on one of two possible corridors. 1) Northern around Kazakhstan / Turkmenistan border or 2) from INdonesia to the Southern India ocean.

Burma, which is having its own issues with muslim radicals?

Indonesia, a muslim country, very spread out, and with some regional governors who are pretty radicalized?

New Guinea?

Australia, which has thousands of square miles of uninhabited desert, some of flat and hard enough to land on?

Basically an alien race that is human with certain super talents decide to use Earth as a test bed for a virus that is supposed to increase the number with such powers. Things do not go as planned.

Some humans gain super powers, they are called Aces. While others suffer physical deformities and they become Jokers. It all happens just after WWII in New York City. Where the Jokers are ostracized is called Jokertown. While Aces get the press and some become honest to goodness super powered crime fighters.

Yeah, I really don't like the climb to above 40,000 feet. People have climbed Everest, which is 29,000 feet, without additional oxygen -- so there is a reason to suppose that you could depressurize the plane at 32,000 feet and have survivors.

But when you go from 30,000 feet to 45,000 feet, you go from 4.36 psi to 2.1 psi (sea level is 14.7)....

646 It was an almost 12 year old Boeing 777-200ER.

We don't know how much fuel was used on the ground and ascent before loss of contact. Did the pilots open the throttles a bit for a quicker ascent? Did the plane depart on time? Do not know what winds were in the area. So to try and figure out would be a very large WAG.

710 as useful as pprune is for aircraft hardware/procedure talk, they are worthless for considering the actions of a cell. current consensus is that if the flight were making a landing in the 'stans, you'd need a ground crew to help out. I can buy that if you intend to hide the aircraft, corral passengers (assuming they were still alive at landing), leave it in a flyable condition etc, but that that would require sat comm link to the ground crew to tell them to expect the plane. since no such comm was detected (as far as we know), this is proof that there is no conspiracy. because obviously it's impossible to tell your terrorist buddies to wait for a few hours to see if a plane comes by for landing. geez.

But see, I don't use it much and therefore don't see the time.

I've thought about carrying it with me but I don't travel as much as I used to these days and if something breaks down I'm in a suburban area with plenty of stores and houses and what not so I'd be able to find a phone if I needed one.

Bad weather is about the only time I might be at risk but I don't go further than about 8 blocks at the most (Walmart), 5 blocks to Grocery store or 2 blocks to convenience store.

Even I can walk that far. Even in bad weather.

About that last.....

I have SEVERE obstructive sleep apnea -- OSA. And when I say "SEVERE", I mean that I have the highest CPAP pressure ever prescribed by my sleep specialist -- who is one of the top guys in the field.

And one of the freakier results of CPAP (Actually BiPAP, because the pressure's so high) was that I slept through the night without getting up several times to take a leak. How a pressure-mask on the face eliminated constant rousing to tinkle is not exactly obvious.....but it was a striking change.

Anyway, for anyone whose dress shirt has more than a 16-inch neck size....and who is known to snore.....get yourself evaluated for OSA. Seriously.

Posted by: cthulhu at March 15, 2014 02:02 AM (T1005)

745 Yeah. Sounds like a good idea. I fit that big neck/snorer category too. I'm likely to get promoted sometime this year, which would mean finally getting health insurance, so I'll put that on my "to get tested" list with the various mysterious lumps that I only hope are cysts. It's pretty amazing how a budget with no wiggle room makes you blow off things that most people would run to the doctor over.

Something like 60% of NFL linebackers have OSA -- it's really correlated with neck size, and I'm surprised that dress-shirt manufacturers haven't picked-up on it and put out PSAs. And that shit's dangerous -- I got to the point where I'd "come-to-myself" at work without any clue as to how I'd gotten there.

748 Here's a tip to O'Care and other Health insurance newbies.

Don't think you can go in and ask for all sorts of preventative tests that you couldn't afford before.

Oh, you can get them but YOU'LL pay for the whole thing.

You have to have legitimate symptoms that lead the DOCTOR to decide you need the test.

I've run into this a couple times now with Medicare. I know that I have a possible problem but because there's no symptoms or signs of disease, I would have to pay for the entire test and the Dr's referral.

On a low fixed income, this just isn't going to happen. So I await the symptoms that will allow them to test to see if what's going on is life threatening or not.

Wheeeeee. Getting old isn't for sissies even if you are one like me.

750 You always have to do everything through the primary care doctor, even if you have a good idea what the problem is, that's just how the system's set up. I've had insurance on past jobs, but then the economy in Florida tanked so hard that not even a shiny new degree could help me, so I moved to Texas. Presently working part-time at a much better job until a coworker either retires or gets himself fired, both of which are equally likely. Nobody else wants the night shift, so it'll probably be mine.

You don't know the half of it.

If you have OSA, you'll need a CPAP -- which is a very simple medical device. It used to be that you could buy one for $1000, but all the medical providers leased 'em for $100/month for 24 months, then gave 'em to you at the end of the lease (and had you available for a new one). For various reasons, a lot of people don't use 'em regularly -- so they'd ditch 'em on ebay for around $300.....until that got shot down by regulators. Now, you can't buy used or off-lease ones at all, and the new ones are $1500.

This is flat-out, stick-a-gun-in-your-nose extortion. You are banned from actual ownership -- the type where you can resell later -- in favor of a system of perpetual payments. It's not like missing a day of CPAP will kill you -- I can't speak for anyone else, but I have a nasty headache and I'm cranky the next day when my BiPAP fails [power failure] or I don't use it properly.

When Chrome came out, I tried it. (I think I had Firefox then but was fairly new with it.)

Did. Not. Work.

Couldn't get pages to load or they were all screwed up. Something.

Couldn't figure out how to fix it either and I'm no comptard.

Never went back.

Much rather use an open source with FREE advice and FREE AND OPEN addons.

I'm considering trying Linux again and see if they've done better than 10 years ago.

I hate all the choices though cause I don't know enough to know what's best. I also don't like that although help is there, it's hard to access and make sense of. And if the computer is down, how to you get online for the help.

Last time I tried a Linux distro (no don't remember which. Mandrake?)

Got it all installed and bam display would not center. Could not find a setting to adjust it. could not use the display so could not get help finding setting to adjust it.

Uninstalled ==> trash.

Granted that was a off brand computer and as such may have had compatability problems that my dells won't have.

We shall see. but it's a PIA to set up a dual operating system system.

767 While on the subject of HBO shows one shouldn't leave off Six Feet Under. It was like the experimental prototype of very high quality shows that then directly lead to things like The Sopranos and The Wire. The last scene of the series was unforgettable, and to a large degree helped set up the expectation that these kinds of shows have a fully complete novel-like narrative arc that with full resolution in the final episode.

Te company got the bright idea that they would load the hard drives themselves outside the computer and thus keep people from loading unwanted stuff on it.

I bought this thing for 50 dollars and went to get a CD drive for it. It was a proprietary Sony and the hard drive cost more than a different cheap computer. I wound up taking the hard drive out and loading it on a different computer and then giving it to my daughter. It was a POS and I wasted $50 on it.

791

Late entry in the MH 370 speculation, and a bit tin-foil, but consider: no single terrorist entity has taken credit for the incident. That's not completely unprecedented, but certainly close to it. For those who might suggest that some terrorist organization has stepped forward and it simply hasn't been made public - again, possible, but dependent on a complete embargo adhered to by every major news outlet globally in this 24/7 media cycle. Even with pressure from powerful states, that's not a reasonable expectation.

So, maybe a lone-wolf (or wolves) operation? There was at least one Uighur passenger, and everyone knows about the Iranians and the dodgy passports. Nothing jumps out about the pilot or co-pilot, beyond the junior officer's inviting hotties onto the flight deck, but there could be something hinky with either or both, or some other member(s) of the crew. A suicidal pilot isn't unprecedented either. If it wasn't a garden variety aviation disaster, both the lone-wolf and the suicide scenario could fit nicely with the little evidence available to us in the public arena.

But if it was a hijacking (even if the plan went awry), apart from merely seeking to crash the aircraft, what could be the purpose? To stow it away (and perhaps re-fit the 777) for a future kamikaze run? Possible, but far easier to accomplish by other less risky and more certain means. Moreover, choosing such a method runs the risk for a State or a terrorist group of tipping their hat to potential targets and allowing them to make contingency plans. If it occurred to most of us as a possibility soon after the problematic nature of MH 307's disappearance became known, it almost certainly occurred to everyone from SIS to Mossad as well, and that doesn't exactly help the perpetrators. Unless the intent was simply to create the fear of such a kamikaze attack, but that's a bit convoluted and dependent on too many elements coming together just right for it to be workable, and once more, easier to accomplish by other, less spectacular means.

So, why take the craft? If not for a crash or a potential sinister use in the futre, it could only be that the perps wanted (1) the airliner, (2) the passengers, (3) the cargo, or (4) all of the above. If it's option (3), apart from simple theft, the only other possibilities would be (a) some use to which the cargo could be employed, and it's unlikely that a Third World airliner would be carrying something of that alarming a nature; or (b) extortion. And 3-b could apply to options 1, 2, and 4 as well. This would also account for why there's been no claim of responsibility - if the purpose was ransom, then the other parties to the plot would have no motive to say anything at all if the 777 crashed, and if, against the odds, the plan succeeded, the only recipients of the ransom demand would be those most directly affected. Families of individual passengers wouldn't be likely to be approached - but their respective governments, especially that of the largest contingent of passengers, China, would be very attractive to a group of extortionists this blatant. Once one allows for this possibility, it explains the news vacuum. Only the targeted States and the intelligence and defense establishments of other nations would be in the know, and could, for their own purposes, keep it out of the media loop for a considerable time.

Again, tin-foil hat stuff, I know. Ockham's Razor suggests that MH 370 was the victim of a crash, whether accidental or deliberate. But if not, the lack of many of the known hallmarks of terrorism and the clumsiness of any sort of stow-it-for-future use plot does point more to old-fashioned extortion and kidnapping and/or theft as a bit more plausible an explanation, even if the perpetrators ended up failing in their attempt.

814 The Israeli hospital home of a Palestinian toddler Young 2-year-old Lian from Gaza, who was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, was admitted to Haifa hospital at the age of 7 months because of terminal renal failure. Edna Abramson Published: 03.14.14, 23:31 / Israel Culture The corridors and treatment rooms of Rambam Medical Center are the only home Lian Barham has ever known. The 2-year-old Palestinian was born 200 kilometers away in Gaza, but since the age of seven months, the smiling toddler has been living in Haifa. Follow Ynetnews on Facebook and Twitter Lian suffers from a rare genetic disease, and no treatment for her condition exists in the Hamas-ruled coastal enclave. Without the treatment in Israel, her life expectancy would have been significantly reduced Â– and her life a tale of misery and pain. "At the age of seven months Lian had respiratory problems," her mother told Ynet, "Check ups discovered that she also had problems in her kidney, and that her condition was serious." Maeesa, Khaled, and baby Lian (Photo: Ofer Golan) Maeesa, her mother, explained how they arrived in Israel: "In Gaza there was no appropriate treatment, so we received a referral to an Israeli hospital. Lian was taken in by Rambam, and we've been here ever since." The complicated treatment is not often available to children of Lian's age. "She needed dialysis, which they don't do for kids of her age at the hospitals in Gaza, because they don't have the appropriate equipment. It was decided we would stay here until she grows up and can undergo liver and kidney transplant. Those terrible Israelis. Hey liberals why don't you boycott Israel?

820 Creepy family photo above

What do you say to a friend or relative who thinks it's an appropriate family photo? BTW, where is the dog or cat? They probably dress up their pets!

Maybe Fat Teddy was in on the deal but as I recollect it was Nina Totenberg from NPR who dragged Anita (she supposedly didn't want to testify) into the hearings.

I would not let any muslim pilots fly in or out of America, but that's just me. I'm a terrible person

I would go one further and make the Muzzie political party an unamerican party dangerous to the US much like the Communist party and the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the past.

830 Officially we are all now citizens of the virtual world... Fundamentally transforming, y'all. That article did mention the negative effects of NSA spying, which were helped by Google and YourFace. I'm confident, however, that some other country that doesn't have our technical savvy will be perfectly capable of managing teh Interwebz.

You have got to hand it to the liberal bastards, they NEVER quit trying to destroy America. There is ALWAYS a team of prog a-holes on duty, trying to figure out the next tactical moves on dismantling Western Civilization.

832 809 The term for which you are groping is "composite lies", which are snippets of little untruths stitched together to make memorable untruths. Amalgamated falsehoods! Posted by: Travis McGee at March 15, 2014 08:41 AM (FPGgj) Snippets of smidgeons amalgamate aggressive Deceit. An open can of worms in a ball of wax requires interventionism.

834 Ok so some of you kind people helped me to look for a 20th anniversary vacation spot when I was thinking of Florida. The information on fights cost varying depending on point of departure and some other searching lead us to find a Caribbean destination for less.
We ended up in St. Croix. It was fantastic! Thank you to those who helped me out.

By the way, don't forget that you can fly to the US Virgin Islands without a passport. That was one of our limiting factors.

840 As to 911 kid:

When my Uncle died (long time ago) I went home and stayed with my Gramma (who was living with my uncle at the time when he died) to help out.

Uncle's daughter and freeloading husband had already taken up residence (my uncle made it a condition of his will that gramma got to stay in the house no matter what. Everything else was the daughter's)

They also brought their 5 yo brat son.

1. found out they had thousands in cashiers checks but were living off gramma's food paid for by her.

2. they did nothing around the property.

3. the kid tried to push gramma down the front steps (no punishment)
and was generally a pia.

I on the other hand helped out, paid for my food (I got a job in town) and tried to help gramma as much as possible with other stuff.

Now guess who got told they had to leave because they were being a burden.

841 I agree on the pilot ban and the islamist party ban. I would also ban immigration and visitation from certain countries.

We could call it reciprocity for the ban on non-muslims in mecca.

846 Anita Hill.

Vs. Paula Jones/ Juanita Broaddrick/ Monica Lewinsky etc.

The former has quite the different public profile, cuts quite a different figure in the public/ media imagination. Wonder why. (And compare the gravity of the respective charges/ alleged situations.)

Gee, wonder if that "empowering" documentary about "speaking truth to power" re sexual harassment (not to mention worse things) will make any mention at all, even just in passing, of Bill Clinton.

Yeah, sure.
