Overnight Open Thread (5-06-2012)
— rdbrewer

Since Maetenloch is at a trade show, this will be ONT Lite. He'll be back at the end of the week, depending on how good the wine is, the sushi, the hot tubs, the clowns, and the magicians--you know, the perks, all the things you normally see at a convention.

My favorite Captain Nemo has always been the one from Mysterious Island, the 1961 movie with Ray Harryhausen special effects. I liked him even better than James Mason's Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.


I was surprised to found out last night he's Herbert Lom, the hilarious Chief Inspector Dreyfus from several of the Pink Panther movies. I had no idea. They're so different, I never put the two together.



More Mysterious Island trivia: Notice the girl in the first picture? Her name is Beth Rogan. I couldn't believe a women would wear a miniskirt like that in 1961, so I had to double-check the date of the movie. Yep. It turns out that was very edgy for the time. According to Wikipedia, the first miniskirts in the movies were those worn by Anne Francis in Forbidden Planet, five years earlier. Wikipedia also mentions Devil Girl from Mars. As far as I can tell, this is the third appearance of a miniskirt in the movies--four years before the miniskirt became a worldwide fashion.


Aye carumba. More trivia: Abby Elliot from the current cast of Saturday Night Live? She's Chris Elliot's daughter. And Chris Elliot? Besides being a Fancy Lad, he's the son of Bob Elliot--from the comedy team of Bob and Ray. All three have been on Saturday Night Live. Bob was a guest on a show during the 1978 season.


Of course, I can't mention Chris Elliot without posting that Ace of Spades HQ favorite, the Cabin Boy dance:

Other favorites: Guy Williams' Captain Sindbad, the best Sindbad evah.

First Men in the Moon, with the wonderful Lionel Jeffries.

And Five Million Years to Earth (It was called Quatermass and the Pit in the UK.)

FREE MOVIE

And of course, Mysterious Island. Except this isn't just the trailer. This is the first part of the movie, all of which is on Youtube.

Added: Music from Mysterious Island. (Thanks to commenter "Clemenza" for reminding me.)

There's that ONT.

Woke up at 8:30, thought it was monday morning 8:30, and pretty damn overcast outside. Half hour later as I'm sipping my coffe wondering where last nights ONT was, I look outside and the overcast was really getting bad.

10 Many years ago, I saw a portion of a Czech rendition of the 20,000 leagues under the sea story on a PBS station. I was intrigued by the aesthetics; the sets looked like cardboard cutouts colored with crayon.

Couldn't watch the whole thing and never found it again.

21 Yay! ONT!

I have a recommendation of Christian literature to the Jews amongst us.

That would be Jerome's commentaries on the Torah and Prophets. The man spent much of his life with the rabbis of his day, learning Hebrew and getting the basics of exegesis right. I've had occasion to dive into his commentaries twice, first on the NT and secondly on the Exodus. Jerome was a genius. And a minority of his Torah insights are Christian-based, from what I saw; he mainly just interprets the text.

Much of his commentary is still stuck in Latin, as far as I know; but a run through Google Translate plus basic understanding of any Romance language can get you through the basics.

Okay: Jews' turn. What would you have Christians read from rabbinic literature?

I always preferred ice milk. I kept trying to find it and researching it on the web learned that with the whole low-fat craze of the last twenty years or so, there are now regulations about what can be called what. Apparently, some of the low-fat ice cream started out as ice milk but now they add all kinds of shit to it to make it creamier.

Did you stay until after the credits ended? There's a great final scene if you're patient enough. As for the film, they finally made a movie worthy of its special effects, and the CGI is now starting to match Harryhausen for melding reality and special effects. I saw it today almost by accident.

81 As for dieting, if you want to lose weight, avoid diet foods. Instapundit's had a link to a study showing people who used sugar-free sweeteners gained more weight than those that used sugar. Ditto for people who drink diet soda gain more weight than those that drink sweetened soda. I've been testing this out myself. If I use lo-calorie sweeteners I get hungrier. The more I use the hungrier I get. Recently I tried artificial bacon bits for flavor, and became ravenously hungry for days. Serious, constant craving for food that eating did nothing to help.

We had a guy doing technical training for us with the last name Elliot.  He looked like he was Chris Elliot's brother.  He said there was no relation.

 

He taught really, really, dry, technical material.  Code of federal regulations and agency interpretations.  BOOORRRIINNGG.  essential to staying on the good side of the regulator and cost-effective, but boring. 

 

He made the material interesting with humor.  His humor was more of the George Carlin type.  Lots of word play, and loud recititations of the material.  I actually remember some of it because of the humor.

WHAT SARKOZY LOSS REALLY MEANS FOR AMERICA

 

Take-away from the article: The French are about to flush themselves.

 

While the Greek dump may be ignored, as it's a problem, but not that big, and far enough away to minimize the stink, France is right in the middle of Europe, the fresh wet pile of broken turd on the carpet in the middle of the room.

 

I think the German government will be forced, by their own people, to say "nein".

 

If JEF tries to bail out Europe, I expect Congress to say "no", unless it happens between November 5 and January 19. Will the next Congress be able to pull any deals back or cancel them? Stay tuned ...

I went a full 20 min without stopping. now granted it was a pretty easy pace but it was still the first time in a long time I've been able to do that.

 

Wow!  That is truly awesome!  Good on you!  I'm so proud of you!  It sounds like you are doing great!

And yeah, balsamic vinegar with a tiny bit of olive oil makes really tasty salad dressing!

Posted by: chemjeff at May 06, 2012 10:28 PM (7FadD)


There ya go, chemjeff.  You are already torturing yourself enough by eating salad, lol!  But, I have the BEST salad dressing that I have made for years (although not recently).  Get some garlic cloves, peel and cut in half.  Rub your (wooden) salad bowl with them, rub rub rub.  Throw out the remains.  Put in some salt and freshly ground pepper (if you like) and then put a small amount of oil in the bowl and beat it with a fork so it takes on the garlic you rubbed.  Add the greens, squeeze half a lemon over the top and toss.  It's really, really good.

101  Hello, 'rons. Seems like I've been gone forever from the ONT. I remember miniskirts. I went off to the Land of Bad Things in '65, came back in '66 and all the girls wore them. Including a lot of girls that shouldn't have.

 I ran into a little bad luck on my second tour and spent the spring, summer and part of the fall of 68 in that big, now closed hospital in Oakland. After a while there was plenty of time off duty and I got to see the whole Summer of Love unfold in the Haight Ashbury, Funny how things don't change much over the years, now OWS has to have "Rape Free" tents. I wonder, will the percentage of young women ending up addicted and prostituting themselves for some pimp be higher or lower than the Summer of Love?

 I predict higher, it's lasting longer.

And here's to the French being told to go fuck themselves by the international bond market.

Raining like nothing I've ever seen, complete with lightning just absolutely booming1

 

Takes a while for the storm to pass, meanwhile there is flooding, which I have to deal with. Nothing bad, just headed it off.

Cool, so I managed to remember something. I was pretty impressed with Hobble Creek Canyon, we'll probably do some more camping up there.  The parks at the mouth, including the golf course, looked nice too.  The weather was just about perfect, enough of a chill to make the fire worthwhile rather than just a pro forma effort.  The hiking kicked my butt though; I need to get out more.

151 94 As for dieting, if you want to lose weight, avoid diet foods. Instapundit's had a link to a study showing people who used sugar-free sweeteners gained more weight than those that used sugar. Posted by: Looking Glass at May 06, 2012 10:35 PM (2J6Jv) And William of Ockham rolled over in his grave. People who don't gain weight easily don't *need* to eat yucky diet foods. People are not interchangeable, as much as lazy researchers would like them to be. Neither are real-world behaviors very well controlled. When you see a "study" that makes a counterintuitive claim, ask "why *else* might that have happened," sometimes there's a rreally obvious reason - like people with poor weight control trying unsuccessfully to keep weight down with diet sodas, people using diet food as an excuse to eat more overall (diet soda and a candybar canceling each other out), or just that people with chronic weight problems are more likely to use artificial sweeteners.

Nice!  I know I said this when you were just planning on moving out here, but do try and stop by Goblin Valley. I've got vague plans on going there this spring or fall, depending on the availability of certain family members.

I get the hotel/lodge camping thing. I even said to a friend of mine about a decade ago something to the effect of 'the next time I go camping, there better be a king size mattress involved'. And yet here I am, sleeping on a backpacking foam pad. Ah well. Didn't mess my back up as much as my mattress at home does.

185 158 144 - Merovign, you can't go putting stuff like that out without complete details. It's just not right, man. Mosin? Posted by: StPatrick_TN at May 06, 2012 10:57 PM (lJJMb) It's a Remington No. 5 Rolling Block in 7mm Mauser (7x57mm). I still have to take a chamber cast but the bore is pretty good. The "Roller" is a very strong action, and this model was made to withstand modern ammunition pressures, unlike pre-1901 models. The chamber cast is because the "official" chamber dimensions for the 7x57 changed in 1920 - depending on tolerances you could have headspace issues (but this one *has* been fired with modern ammo). I may go with dark metal and a light "blond" stock, which I just kind of like, if I replace the stock, which is a little chewed up but structurally sound. Or I may carve up the stock even more, and go with some kind of "style" in the rebuild, just customize it on a theme. Like some kind of red-and-black "witchcraft motif" design, some minor carving on the stock, like I said a "hollywood" theme like a "special" rifle you'd have in some mystical-Western movie or something. The Roller was in use from the 1860s. http://tinyurl.com/6sllhgp That's basically what it looks like, someone carved "1904" in the stock but it's not that deep. The serial lists as 1902.

187 When you see a "study" that makes a counterintuitive claim, ask "why *else* might that have happened," sometimes there's a rreally obvious reason - like people with poor weight control trying unsuccessfully to keep weight down with diet sodas, people using diet food as an excuse to eat more overall (diet soda and a candybar canceling each other out), or just that people with chronic weight problems are more likely to use artificial sweeteners.

Then again, there is some truth to the fact that people who go no-fat dieting tend to be hungry all of the time, and therefore tend to fall off that particular wagon more frequently. Some sugar and some fat are normal in any diet, and cutting them out completely risks your diet screwing the pooch.


Granted, most people who diet have issues with weight--else why the hell are the dieting?


I can see how replacing food with chemicals could cause problems we don't know entirely about.

Bernard Herrmann did the soundtrack to Mysterious Island ?  Excellent Smithers!

I have a record I bought years ago (30 or more?) called "The Fantasy Film World of Bernard Herrmann".  It has the compositions to the sound tracks to "Fahrenheit 451", "The Day the Earth Stood Still", "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad".

I used to play it on Halloween and pipe it out to the front porch  (side 1 with Farhrenheit and the Day the Earth Stood Still) to spook the little candy grubbers.

Merovign,
I thought the proposed mechanism for that result was that the artificial sweeteners fooled more than just the tongue and that the sugar-metabolizing process was kicked off. A bunch of insulin secreted with no place to go, so to speak. More than a little vague, but I'm no scientist. I leave that to people who can make coherent-ish comments on the ONT.

266 It's not the diet foods, themselves, that are the problem. It's what makes them "diet", namely chemicals and other nasty shit no one should willingly put in their bodies. If the label has more than 3 ingredients, put it back. Eat real foods, in measured portions, lose weight. Portion control Is probably the number one culprit though. Seriously, a food scale costs like $20 at target. See what an actual serving of, say, pasta, looks like, and compare it to your usual meal at olive garden.

287 Portion control is very important. IMHO, that's the biggest benefit to a program like Weight Watchers; they really drive home the concept of portion control. The real secret is fiber.

293 281 It's not the diet foods, themselves, that are the problem. It's what makes them "diet", namely chemicals and other nasty shit no one should willingly put in their bodies.

If the label has more than 3 ingredients, put it back. Eat real foods, in measured portions, lose weight.

Portion control Is probably the number one culprit though. Seriously, a food scale costs like $20 at target. See what an actual serving of, say, pasta, looks like, and compare it to your usual meal at olive garden.

Posted by: DC in Towson, bleeding heart piece of shit at May 06, 2012 11:31 PM (I/cLr)


^^^^^^

This. When MrsCaniac and I started Weight Watchers, we started off by using Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice and Smart Ones for our dinners. It was a huge adjustment seeing what a portion size really is. 4 months later, when we go out for dinner, I get the smallest size of the entree and it is now quite filling.


Most people eat the "diet foods" as an "addition" to their regular diet. Thinking that if they drink a diet Pepsi and eat a bag of chips that it is better than eating the chips with a regular Pepsi. Oh, and since they were so good by drinking the diet Pepsi, they will treat themselves to a Snickers.


That and not drinking a lot of alcohol.

The RDA for fiber for adults is something like 39 grams; most people get less that half that amount of fiber every day. Knock a few calories off the top end, and add more high fiber foods. Eat whatever you want, as long as you keep your calorie to fiber ratio under 50:1.

One fine day at the San Diego Wild Animal Park -- a larger and more free-form area owned by the Zoo guys -- we were riding the tram around, and the narrator matter-of-factly noted that we were coming up on the gorillas and should be alert because "they throw things".



Sure enough, as we drive along the enclosure, the gorillas casually reach behind and grab a fresh, warm handful of feces and sidearm it towards the tram (fortunately not our car). Looked like they'd been practicing, too.

350 IIRC the Herbert Lom scene above appears just after Clouseau has revived The Inspector, who had apparently drowned in the pond in the background.

Clouseau pulls The Inspector face-down to the shore, then sits astride him in order to give a very old-fashioned version of "artificial respiration" to revive him. 

A passing old lady comes upon the two, and concludes Clouseau is actually buggering a drowning victim.  

Disgusted, she beats him with her umbrella.

Pure gold  -- at least in an era where buggering a drowning victim was not considered a life-style choice.

351 recent email from a student:

My niece has a total 6 children and all of them are on some type of disability.  To look at all of them they look as healthy as you or me.  Yes people do get through the system and this is sometimes their primarily source of income.  My niece had all of her children on disability, getting a check monthly for all of them plus food stamps and has never worked a day in her life as far as I know.  Now that 4 of them are of age she has found out that the checks will start coming directly to them instead of her. Her other two kids will be of age in the next two years which means she will loose their checks as well.  She has cheated the system for so many years and now she will have to figure out how to maintain her way of living without the assistance of her children's government checks.  This is a very sad situation because she in at a point in her life where she will have no income coming in, she has now job skills, so what will she do now?  Anyone who does this through the system should ask them this question, "What will I do, how will I live without my disability, or food stamp assistance now?

Nonsense. I've lived on hot dogs.  You probably just didn't put enough hot sauce on it.  Try another, but you have to douse it in tabasco or something really hot.

Stay away from the apples.  They make you fart and that will kill the Earth.  Dinosaurs ate lots of apples.

383 Though hot dogs actually sound pretty good.

But I've been trying to lose weight, avoiding carbs and counting calories and shit.

Bread is the enemy, though I love bread dearly.  I try to keep the amount of bread I eat down.  Hot dogs require delicious bread and thus are the enemy.

I had a giant burger the other night.  That was wrong of me.  That was bad.  But soooooooooooo good!  There was some leftover bacon and I put that on it and lettuce and swiss cheese.  No tomatoes, was out.

One nice thing about getting them at a 7-11 (or at an Arco station at a pinch) is because their condiment station is servicing a wider range of product you can get non-traditional in your fixin's. Me, I like pickle chips instead of the usual relish on a hot dog.

couple things -- I use it mostly for little beading on pieces like all the drawer handles. A work item on the list is swapping out the metal tube on the front of the table saw with a longer one so the same fence can serve that router, too.


I have another router table with an incra fence.  Cuz that one has separate settings for infeed/outfeed I am trying to make do without a jointer.  We'll see how that goes.


That incra fence actually got this whole thing started.  I am making a changeable work station a lot like the popular mechanics idea you mentioned above.  It will swap various tools into place just like you said.  Each tool will mount on the end of the assembly table using french cleats.

So I'm always making ersatz molding to try to staple a piece of the old onto a piece of new -- which is router table multi-pass territory.

As luck would have it, we saw "Mysterious Island" popped up on our Netflix queue and we watched it last Friday: we've been viewing some of Ray Harryhausen's best. I saw the movie at the old Granada Theatre in Rogers Park when it first came out. All us boys loved it - for the cool monsters and, yes, the miniskirt.

I was surprised to see that it was a British movie, which I guess is why so many Brit actors were in it. Herbert Lom played villains for the most part; he was one of the criminals in the original "The Ladykillers". Joan Greenwood (who played the aristocratic Lady Mary) did a lot of Ealing comedies: she was the bad girl in "Kind Hearts and Coronets", and the good girl in "The Man in the White Suit". The music was by the great Bernard Herrmann ("Psycho", "The Day the Earth Stood Still") - enough said.

I often am forced into the driveway.  That's one of the reasons why I am trying to compress all the stuff to storage inside the tables.  I need a better way to store wood, too.


Applying finishes is always a long struggle.
