What up morons? Hurricane Sandy really messed up my day and probably my weekend as the Fleet is in the process of hitting the seas to avoid whatever Sandy has in store for the area. Hope all you morons that are in the path are prepared for the worst i.e. you got your medicinal booze in appropriate amounts.

Are Lap Dances Art?
New York's highest court weighs in. Bump And Grind Not So Fine Art. I don't know. I've seen some pretty mesmerizing performances that I would say were pretty "dramatic". Well, that was a long time ago. Actually, that's what a friend told me.
Lap dances are taxable because they don't promote culture in a community the way ballet or other artistic endeavors do, New York's highest court concluded Tuesday in a sharply divided ruling.The court split 4-3, with the dissenting judges saying there's no distinction in state law between "highbrow dance and lowbrow dance," so the case raises "significant constitutional problems."
The lawsuit was filed by Nite Moves in suburban Albany, which was arguing fees for admission to the strip club and for private dances are exempt from sales taxes.
The court majority said taxes apply to many entertainment venues, such as amusement parks and sporting events. It ruled the club has failed to prove it qualifies for the exemption for "dramatic or musical arts performances" that was adopted by the Legislature "with the evident purpose of promoting cultural and artistic performances in local communities."

Ugly Divorce
This is just wrong but opens the door for so many things you can try to get a divorce and settlement for. Man Sues And Divorces Wife For Being Ugly, Wins.
The northern Chinese man, Jian Feng, married his wife and was reportedly absolutely in love with her. Soon, as will happen, she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl, which was when the problems arose for Feng.He thought the baby was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified him. The baby resembled neither of her parents, so Feng demanded to know who the father was, because jumping to conclusions about your wifeÂ’s faithfulness is the obvious thing to do when you have an ugly baby.
As it turns out, his wife didnÂ’t cheat, but did gloss over the fact that she had spent $100,000 on intense plastic surgery to severely change how she looked before she met him. ItÂ’s the kind of thing that can slip your mind on the first date. After his wife revealed this to him, Feng took the only right-minded course of action and divorced and sued her, claiming that she got him to marry her under false pretences. The false pretence presumably being that she was good looking. Incredibly, the (presumably male) judge sympathised with Feng and he won $120,000 in the case.

Ace is, understandably, a bit frightened of the possibility of an Obama win, and it probably makes him sick to his stomach (or is it the rancid hobo meat?), but we all need to be strong, sure, and upbeat.
We will win this thing, and Obama will be relegated to the dustbin of history (yes, you may quote me).

Can't speak for Ace, but I'm sure part of his "Shit, we might lose" posting is because he feels an obligation to cover all likely or probable scenarios. That includes ones where we lose.

Oh my gosh I am laughing at the "gangnam style" thing because I just went through a whole thing about it. They played the song at the elementary school for jogathon on Wednesday and the principal and another parent were dancing like in the video. Other parents who are unaware of the global phenonmenon that is PSY (sadly, I confess to being one as I haven't been paying attention to all the k-pop talk here) objected to the song because the only line you can understand is "hey sexy lady" which didn't seem quite cricket to play for young kids.
Of course we all take for granted that YMCA is played as a "cute" song with arm movements, never mind the original connotation of a bunch of gay men singing about how fun it is to stay at a YMCA...

"I always just thought, "metal", but it appears that there are actually finer distinctions."
Meh, to me there were maybe three (at the most) different actual styles.
Sometime in the late 80s, contemporary musicians and music lovers seem to have decided that when you simply write an original piece of music within a genre, that you've actually created a whole new fucking style.

People put waaay to much emphasis on the category. A slow moving, particularly Wet Cat-1 can do tremendous damage. Measuring the wind speeds alone is very misleading.
Although that storm last year did not damage NYC, it destroyed parts further north.
Hell, we've had tropical storms pass 100 miles from Jax and the bands cause terrible, damaging flooding.

So I was at a coffee bar with my coworkers today, all democrats, and the conversations revolved around what a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure Obama is. They all remember when gas was cheaper, there were more jobs, and generally just about everything was better under Bush than it was under Obama, and who in their fucking minds would even think to vote for a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure again. These are all NEW YORK DEMOCRATS too.
I definitely felt a preference cascade tonight. In my pants.

GOTVers in the Storm path,
Any chance you can excercise the program by going around and checking on people and their preps before the storm?
Helping little old ladies with a quick prep check up or maybe offer a trip to the store could pay off if they survive the storm-a-geddon 2012. Some of them may appreciate an offer to help them tie the lawn things down.
One thought, it is the end of the month, and most SS recipients are tapped.

I called 911 over a crowbar in the road. The dispatcher was like WTF are you calling me with this for?
"Lady, I'm in a five-lane stretch of I-5, and the car in front of me drove over it. It responded by springing across all five lanes of traffic, chipping a chunk out of the concrete divider, flying back over my head, hitting the outer wall and coming down in like lane 2. It's not a freaking stick of wood you can ignore, it's a giant shaft of tool steel, please come get it before someone is killed."

People, especially if recalling an event from a long time before, are easily led into "remembering" things that didn't happen; they are not "making it up", they are being led by the questioners. Add in just one or two sensation-seekers, and you have a recipe for a witch-hunt. People will sincerely believe the events happened, but that, unfortunately, does not mean that the events actually did. And "innocent until proven guilty" still needs to apply.

I could donate $100 to the Romney campaign today.....or
How about this - Offer $100 to the Boy Scouts of America (in Ohio?) if a scout will make an effort to help transport 5 people to the polls on election day. Maybe these voters might be in retirement homes and unlikely to vote unless provided transportation - who knows. But, I think it's likely whoever a Boy Scout chooses to help isn't likely to be a Dim.
Anyways, just a thought. If this could be organized via social media, it might be a more effective GOTV effort that donating directly to the Romney campaign.

My black mutt has something worse: a sense of humor. I have stories. Lots of stories. A sample:
Back when I lived alone, I had tickets to a concert in San Francisco. I came home, walked and watered my girl, and told her I'd see her later. I went to the concert, got home around 1 a.m., took her out, checked her water, scritched her ears and went to bed.
The next morning, after doggy breakfast and walkies, I started to put my scuffs on to go clean up my back yard, and stopped.
She'd carefully, lovingly, artistically, placed a turd in each scuff.
She sat there and grinned at me.

Honestly, half the pictures have captions that say, "I have no shame" or a variation on it.
My Xena (much loved and deeply mourned) would be overtaken by Psychokitty. When Psychokitty was caught, scruffed and about to be punished, she would vacate the premises, leaving Xena holding the bag.

That's the worst part about watching movies from the 50s-80s, there was not even a shred of an attempt to make the makeup and hair styles look period. As much as I like many of the films from that period, sometimes it was just so awful.

Fill up as many plastic jugs, bowls, etc with water as you can, and put them in the freezer. At the very least, they'll turn your fridge/freezer into a big cooler if the power goes out. At most, it's a secondary supply of potable water if the utilities all go to hell. If you really think your water utilities will be disrupted, fill a bath tub in case you need to wash anything, including yourself.
Do all your laundry and wash all your dishes while you still can. While you're at it, top off your gas in all vehicles and any gas cans you have around. If the power goes out, many gas station pumps will be out of commission.
Common sense stuff: batteries, candles, non-perishables. A car charger for your phone is a godsend. Get a good book. Depending on how hard you were hit, the day after a hurricane is an opportune time to get some yard work done (maybe that's a Florida thing).
And, depending on your neighborhood, a little ammo never hurts. Blackouts and shortages bring out the worst in people.

@351 Yes, it's noteworthy how period films of whatever era, ancient Rome, Napoleonic times, whatever--you can tell what decade it was filmed in because the hair and makeup dept. refused to be accurate and wanted the actors to appeal to contemporary tastes. That started to change somewhat in the 1970's however.
And speaking of historical accuracy wrt period films--they never show people with smallpox scars or bad teeth or scratching their lice and flea bites. Nor do they show rushes and straw on the floors which were used even in palaces. (often the straw was mixed with scented herbs if you were rich.) In fact, that's where we get the term 'threshold' from, a strip of wood in front of the door to keep the thresh (straw) from being tracked outside.

Your phone not going to work for more than a day if electricity is out. Cell tower generators only last a day. Got a land line? It will work unless the line is cut.
Mostly, batteries for lights at night and water and beer. Headlights for your head not your car. Start eating everything in your freezer, cause if you lose power for more than 48 hours, it will go bad.
Really paranoid? Go buy some dry ice, NOW. Then you can put it in your freezer and not lose anything for a week.

385 - For my area I think so too, just hypel. Wonder when they'll drap Shelby Scott from the grave to give an onsite weather report? Good advice you gave. We lost power for 6 days during Irene but thankfully family nearby had power, just unfortunatey live in an area that seems to go back online last.
During Irene our neighbors had just put in one of those fancy Paula Deen like patio kitchens. They also had gas stove inside plus teh old gas grill from before the upgrade. We had a neighborhood "meat party" on day 2 where everyone just brought the meat from their freezers that would be thrown out and we had a carnivore feast.

So when and why did the word 'meme' become such a meme?
And is it pronounced mem or meem? Posted by: imponderables
Richard Dawkins coined the term in The Selfish Gene; I can't (off-hand, anyway) remember which science fiction writer first used it in a novel and began its popularization, but I do remember that the guy who wrote "Schizmatrix" used it in his book reviews for Analog, and it definitely started appearing in Analog shorts.
And it's pronounced "meem" (long e), generally. Because, being English speakers, we think of a single vowel with an intervening consonant and an ultimate 'e' as being long. We're funny that way.

It's like a virus. the only way to stop it is to remove the vectors but it hit just as home videos began taking over professional ones.
now any nitwit with a phone can do a "rap song" and get noticed.
that they disrespect themselves, America, society, civility and the law doesn't matter to them and most truly are gangsters and if they aren't rapping, they're out stealing and robbing. Look up how many "rap stars" are criminals. It's not an accident or a conspiracy by the man it's that that's what they believe is okay.

Reminds me of when the beagle was a pup and I was still succumbing to the sad-eyed begging look... Gave him a bite of a spicy Italian sausage pizza - he gulped it down and then ran for his water bowl. A few slurps later and he was back at my feet begging for more pizza - then water again. It was hilarious! (Albeit bad for his tummy

Oh, I see. You're simply hostile.
Never mind, then. I was trying to point out that your own literacy had been invaded by rap culture. Clearly, you're too busy being angry and attacking others to actually care, and inspect and purify your own vocabulary and usage.
Carry on, then.

And that's what the Dems do every single time they bring up a "tax cut" bill in the Senate. Cut taxes for one group of people and "pay for it" by raising taxes on others, often whoever is the boogeyman at the moment. Sometimes the tax "cuts" are so miniscule or complicated to qualify for that the bill's purpose is simply messaging ("Hey, we want to cut taxes and Republicans won't let us! They're evil!")

so when you wonder why I responded as I did, look in the mirror while reading your comment.
My own literacy is for me to be concerned about not you. I neither asked for nor desired your critique. You felt the need to do so because of some inner requirement of your own pitifully weak personality and insufficiently rewarding life that you must seek others to point to and criticize thus making you feel superior.
And that was mild compared to how hostile I can get?

I can't be sure, of course.....but it does seem that "dissing" someone became important when rap started becoming popular. I was somewhat surprised to learn how extensive the heritage of "disrespect" actually was when I looked it up just now. I was actually looking to see whether the word might have been coined in the last 50 years, although I should have known better because (IIRC) it occurs in Gilbert and Sullivan.
It certainly has acquired a darker nuance, however, when perceived "disrespect" (whether intended or not) can supply justification for murder -- and, further, is publicly acknowledged as such in public performances.

I take it personal.
the Benghazi stuff? It makes me angry and sad and scared and then back to angry again but I don't let it affect me too much (I have that luxury) as I KNEW this guy was going to have something happen during his 4 years.
When people make comparisons of him and Carter, most probably don't have a clue how accurate they are.
I lived the worst of Carter's years. In fact, I would say that those years put such a dent in my life that I didn't START to recover from them until about 1995 and a few more years after that my age started to catch up to me.
so my potential for having any sort of decent life was destroyed by that georgian putz.
When I say Obama, I said; Jimmy F'n Carter all over again.Thank you George Bush and the Republican party. We get to live the Carter years all over again.
Why do people still vote for Democrats? Why???? I ask myself; Why do blacks (who get royally screwed by democrats) keep electing them. Why do Jews ( who can't see an antisemite unless they're known to be a Christian) keep electing Democrats? They keep screwing Israel and they've never balked at screwing jews or blacks.
If the Democrat party ever lost those two groups, they'd never win another election. except maybe a very local one in NYC Or any other big city.
It astounds me folks who vote against there own best interest. With no reason. Only fairy tales told by the Democrats.

Posted by: Jcw46 at October 27, 2012 01:36 AM (Vh0f5)
Very interesting point. The whole rap "stream of consciousness" spewing is a bit of a problem for me, personally......
Oh, hell, I'll tell the story. So, when I was in fifth grade, there was an opportunity at my school to take foreign language classes in French, Spanish, or German -- so I chose German....and, at the end of the year, moved out of the district to another where they only had French and Spanish. So I took Spanish.
But then we moved back into a district that had German, so I took German 1 all over again (it's hard to get yourself in the right frame of mind for conversational German -- sort of like Reverse Polish Notation calculators) -- although it was real Junior High German instead of the Elementary School intro to German.
I know you can all see this coming, but we moved again -- so it was back to Spanish. And we moved again, and again, and again.....and so it happened that I ended up in my Senior year in High School taking third year honors Spanish, while taking intensive first year college German at the local community college, and an elective speech class. And fucking fried my parser.
Ever since then (though it has improved with time), my first impression of speech is "Inth eh beeg in ingthair wa 'zehev en andurth" -- and it takes me a couple of tries to sort it out into words -- and rap, with odd phrasings and rapid patter, is incomprehensible nonsense until long after it ceases to matter. Incidentally, there's a handyman I've worked with for years who speaks about 75% Spanish and 25% English, and I have to torture him with my horrible Spanish all day (and fast-food cashiers) because it grinds the gears so bad to switch.
So, when you label it "Urban doggerel", that has a lot of resonance with me.
Posted by: cthulhu at October 26, 2012 09:59 PM (kaalw)
It's why we don't talk like the British or the French or any other language we've adopted/adapted.
As to claims by many as to "correct usage" I don't think that in common or contemporary speech that there is one.
There's correct usage for written English and there may be style books or practical guides that tell one how to speak publicly, but personally, I don't subscribe to a rigid usage.
If it enhances and clarifies what you are saying and is fitting to where you are saying it and to whom you are saying it, then it's correct usage.
The purpose of language is to COMMUNICATE IDEAS. If you accomplish that with clarity and brevity, then you're using the language correctly.
Any other definition is pedantic , pedagogic and reminds me of George Will.
Criticism of someone for failure to speak or write correctly is for English classes. Not comments on a blog. (unless the conversation is about correct usage as here and now.)

One night I was at a topless bar with a former stripper, and they played lots of rap videos. It was the same lowlife, braindead garbage in every song/video.
1) How rich they were/ all the expense items they owned
2) What badasses they were
3) How all the women wanted them/how often they get laid/ how big their d*cks are
4) How they loved getting high
I've found the more into hip hop someone is, the more likely they are to be human garbage.
I was into rap back in the early to mid 80's, and it wasn't as as cretinous as it is now.

anecdotal: Took a introductory Japanese class with a HS Spanish Teacher. She mentioned that it was driving her nuts that she mentally was double translating what she wanted to say into Spanish, then translating the Spanish into Japanese.
The vowel sounds are the same ...
But, I have read that people who learn their first second language as an adult will use the "music" part of their brain; while people who learn a second language as a child add to the "language" portion of their brain.
So for me: "Maneer, het toilet ... doko desu ka?" makes perfect sense since the foreign languages I dabbled in are Japanese and Dutch. Some concepts/words dominate form one, some from the other

I worked at a company where we had a sales rep who had grown up in SoCal calling Japan all the time, and -- to my unschooled ear -- he spoke Japanese with a profound surfer accent (I was watching a lot of Iron Chef at the time). For something that we rely upon as much as we do, verbal communication is half-assed at best.

"If Obama is reelected, I'd expect reenlistment rates to plunge. Nobody wants to work for a CINC who won't have your back, punishes anyone who takes initiative trying to do the right thing, and is working for our enemies."
If Obama is reelected, he'll slash the military to Luxembourg levels so not re-enlisting won't be a big deal.

I do that, too. I do it because it's correct. Whoever came up with the idea that putting the punctuation inside the quote was correct was a friggin idiot. The punctuation that is part of the quote belongs inside the quote and the punctuation that is part of the encompassing sentence belongs outside of the quote.
Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at October 27, 2012 02:20 AM (X3lox)
=============
I think the convention to put punctuation outside quotation marks was inspired by typographical hypersensitivities (all that space under a quotation mark on one side, mandatory post-punctuational space on the other, leaves poor widdle punctuation visually isolated) rather than sense and logic.

A Washington state Democrat who is vying for a legislative seat in the state House has come under fire after a picture of her posing for Playboy in a special 'Women of the Ivy League' edition was leaked today.
Amy Biviano, the democratic challenger in the 4th district house race to represent Spokane Valley has defended her decision to appear topless for the magazine in 1995 while she was a college junior at Yale University.
Her appearance in the magazine was revealed this afternoon on the website for the conservative Western Center for Journalism.
Defending her actions today, the married mother said that though it certainly isn't something she would do now, aged 37, it was an ego-boosting exercise when she was 20-years-old.

Seems to me somebody needs to get an interview with the General. ASAP.
If it's impossible because he's in custody in some fashion, that fact ought to get out.
Even if the commenter is full of bean, someone ought to be asking why the Africon head is being 'quietly' replaced right now (the linked Stars and Stripes article indicated Panetta was generically complimentary to General Ham). The article didn't indicate where the General was being reassigned or if this was a planned retirement.

So far as I can tell, the people getting smeared with this mess are those that amply deserve it.....but this little scandal's already got a body count. I'm more worried about those who provide the bodies than those who play the game -- and it seems like things are pretty heated-up.
That said, I'm plenty worried about anyone who could be on the ground out there, hearing assets overhead, risking his life to get them painted..........and get nothing.

Oh, that would make Obama happy! America would no longer have a military at all, and those who would still serve would probably be idealogically aligned with him. My, God.

Not really. Obama likes the power of having the military at his whim...all dictators do. He wants to downsize it of course, but he needs it to wage his secret wars.

In that infamous interview Obama gave to 9NEWS in Denver yesterday he said, when asked about whether requests for aid had been denied,.....
“I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice.”
So....where are these orders? A President doesn't just talk into the air and shit gets done. Orders from a President are written up on the correct forms and stationary, signed, witnessed and distributed to hundreds of people.
This fucker is the stupidest of liars.

Not necessarily.
See, here's the thing -- what makes it a coup is when slavish devotion to the political overtakes devotion to martial tradition. In the case outlined by the article, someone is replaced by someone more willing to see military personnel die to further political aims -- that's overturning the status quo. But a lot of personnel actions are through the normal course of things -- you get a binder (yes, and shaddup!), review it, and check-the-box.
It's probably a good idea to review every single thing Obama did to see whether it harms American interests......but some might not have, just from sheer incompetence.

The doctrine should include an awarness, by all concerned, that any acts carried out by perps within their borders is the same as an act by a "legitimate" state. As the world changes, so must definitions of "guilt" change.

I may be late to the party here, but is it true David Alexrod sent out a "I don't know what the election will bring but I'm so proud of your efforts no matter what" email to the Dem faithful??

As if paper absentee ballots can not be downloaded pdf from any online computer with a printer for our military personnel abroad to vote.
If the UN wants to bitch and moan about Americans denied the right to vote, chew on Obama's CinC ass for depriving his troops their votes.
If a case needed to be made for black box computer voting machines, have them available for our military personnel abroad.
