Greta Van Susteren is a member of the Scientology 'church'?
I didn't know that.
Just watched a show about Scientology...and they mentioned her.
I didn't really know much about it.
Weird shit.

57 Saw Noah last night. There were some interesting scenes in the movie. Visually it was stunning. It made me go back and re-read Genesis again.
Posted by: Secret Squirrel at March 29, 2014 11:26 PM (0SmH0) \

I heard that the word 'God' is not used in the movie. ...Is that true?
If true...then how did they get around it?
I mean, how can you do a story about Noah and not mention God.

I did play it, for myself. Didn't link it, because I had already linked Dixie Chicken. But, yeah, it's an awesome song. You know, there are damned fine country songs out there, done by bands that nobody thinks of as "country".

Also, I hear it involves Rock Giants, a Methuselah with magic powers, a snakeskin from the Snake in the Garden of Eden with magical powers, a psychotic Noah and a stowaway on the ark that kills the unicorns
Which is what happens when you get an atheist directing a Bible story.

Glad you enjoyed it. I was kind of worried that it would get a "not another drinking/bartending thread" response. But, I was a little pressed for time and figured the 'Rons are always up for a hooch-soaked banter.
Speaking of which, I have a little Johnny Red.

OT and a day late, but don't care. 'Cuase #1: I did not see this until tonight and #2: Don't have the keys to the time machine that does not exist.
For your drinking pleasure I offer the recipe for "The Bacon Ceasar".
Smirnoff Red Label Vodka and Mott's Clamato Juice, seasoned wiht steak spice, bacon bits, Tobasco and Worcesthie. Garnished with a slice (or 2) of crispy bacon and a lime wedge in a bacon salt rimmed glass.
And since I am 2500 miles and 2 time zones away from home: hell yeah!

78...Haven't seen the movie but I thought I heard (On Fox maybe) that they refer to the 'creator' but not God.

84..."A creator".
Also, I hear it involves Rock Giants, a Methuselah with magic powers, a snakeskin from the Snake in the Garden of Eden with magical powers, a psychotic Noah and a stowaway on the ark that kills the unicorns.

A "creator"?
Well, I guess that's synonym for God.
The 'creator' of the movie Noah is an avowed atheist...so that may have something to do with it.
Fuckin Hollywood.
They aren't happy with doing remakes of movies and tv shows.
Now they're doing remakes of the Bible.

Hey, after the damned hellish winter we just had, we deserve some good news. I went to a Brewers exhibition game today against the KC Royals. We won 7-2. Some guy just up from the minors and trying to prove himself hit the only HR of the game. I was happy for the kid.
It was just a pre-season game, but still - beers ,brats and a baseball game mean the shit winter is over. Go, Wisconsin!

No, I don't think Corb is the least bit gay. He writes really literate songs, and has a sense of history, too. You know, he started pout in music as a punk rocker, then moved into what I guess you would call "alt country". He has quite a few albums out.

Gee, I missed that! I am a geologist, and I work at well sites. Work with the roughnecks, and the drillers, and the toolpush, and the company man. Great people they are. And we do bring power to the people. The oil, and the gas we help bring to market is what the world runs on. Without it, we would, most of us, live a miserable existence indeed.

Gee, I missed that! I am a geologist, and I work at well sites. Work with the roughnecks, and the drillers, and the toolpush, and the company man. Great people they are. And we do bring power to the people. The oil, and the gas we help bring to market is what the world runs on. Without it, we would, most of us, live a miserable existence indeed.

NDH/others, a question.
Could be way off here. Cannot help but think logically (yes, this is comically futile in today's America).
But why "common core"? How did schools produce much better outcomes, with far less in resources (adjusted dollars per pupil), before MA's in Education were even heard of? How did many of us get such a good (public) education eons before anything like "common core" was imagined? Why - why - is there any need for a "common" anything? When there wasn't before - aside from common basic content (all that K-12 is meant for) and universal/simple concepts about learning how to think and communicate?
Of all the self-inflicted damage, idiocy, lawlessness, rent-seeking, authoritarianism, ignorance, bigotry, and repugnant sentiment that constitute most of today's public policy in America today, the idea that somehow something "new" is needed in basic education stands out as perhaps the most offensively ridiculous.
What am I missing?

I live 2 hours south of Tulsa. There are 3-4 nice bedroom communities in The Tulsa suburbs.
Eastern OK is called "green country" because we have trees and grass and rolling hills in this part of the state. Anything west of I-35 is mostly dust and flat land.I've lived in western OK as well, no insult intended.
There are daywalkers that live in Tulsa, can add better detail. If you decide to head this way, you won't regret it. If you want more details, let me know.

It is a combination of evil people wanting to create evil ends, clueless people thinking that new is better, incompetent people who want someone else to sort it all out and do their job for them, egotistical narcissists who think their crap don't stink when they've been sucking Tellurium, and a lot of people with their hands out trying to get a piece of the cake like everyone else supposedly got.

Thanks all for your replies re common core. I already knew/suspected/guessed that a lot of vile motives (indoctrination) lay behind the whole thing. Should have phrased my question differently.
What is the *ostensible*, advertised reason for common core, and how does anyone at any level not get hooted/laughed down for suggesting that content/methods that took us from a semi-literate country to the moon somehow - magically I guess - simply can't be used to make today's American kids literate and numerate?
A Union Army officer who graduated the 8th grade (big stuff in 1863) and the Hungarian immigrant physicist who helped invent the Bomb in 1943 and the late 1970s tech boom engineer ALL learned to read and do basic arithmetic the same way (basically). As do the kids in China and the kids of refugees in apartment buildings in Baku today.
To quote PJ O'Rourke, WTF? I mean, WTFF?

The "king" in Vikings has been in a lotta stuff recently.
Sons Of Anarchy and Copper.

Oh yeah, sooth...that's right. He played a douche in Copper, didn't he.
And he was killed.
I haven't watched Sons of Anarchy in a couple years, tho.
Kinda gave up on it.
I'm hoping that Ragnar gets rid of the King...soon.
Before he gets rid of Ragnar.

Maybe they had to change the curriculum because just reading the old textbooks to many students became smarter than the teachers. This common core crap is just a confusing clusterfuck to protect the union teachers from being embarrassed.

So the movie is actually good? I was dreading seeing it on account that Chris Hansen might be taking names on the way out. Also, you know, there's a lot of tween-lit fantasy / SF out there which makes me think of the "90% of everything is crap" aphorism.

It's not that I personally suffer through the media indoctrination shitstorm, because I don't feed them, but that so many proles ARE infected with their crap.
So yeah, I agree with the poster above that suggests that we designed the atomic bomb and went to the moon on not much more than a slide ruler and carry the one math, but now our kids and grandkids must find 'the friendly numbers' or get points off even with a correct answer.

Re: Divergent
They stayed very true to the book. Daughter and I wished that they would have included a couple more scenes about things that happened to fellow initiates - fairly important later in the series - but if done well might have changed rating or scared some off from seeing the rest.

Crowbar had a gig at the hotel in Canmore, Alberta, many years ago, and I drove out there in my '63 Studebaker Wagonaire, which was my daily driver back then. On a break between sets, Sonny took it for a spin around the town, and told me, "You know, it was probably me that put the dome light in your car." Still have it, too.

Some of basic mathematics _is_ memorization, and nothing more.
Times tables, for example.
Beyond that, this is more rancid crap from the "professionalization" of grade school education. There once was a time when the typical person teaching elementary school had, at best, a high school degree, and perhaps not even that. Yet such teachers all across America did a good job with that modest foundation. By today's standards, a superb job.
However, it isn't possible to justify fat paychecks and pensions with that level of training. So education became "profesionalized" and "scientific", and curricula came to be designed by people with doctorates in education. Education itself. A field which previously had not existed, and for which no need had been apparent. (Other than the justification of the fat paychecks and pensions.)
Allow me to commend to the attention of parents with young pupils the excellent Singapore Math materials. From a country which routinely tops the international league tables in mathematics attainment, from early primary school on through university level.

What's alarming is that these are wussy little quakes.
Some bottles fell over and smashed! Oh noes!
Much worse is in store, and California is not ready.
Far be it from me to speak well of L.A., but actually, L.A. did make some needed building code reforms after Northridge in '94. It's just that this has not gone far enough. Enforcing tough new code on the new-builds and retrofits is not sufficient. A whole lot of the building stock does not fall into either category.
And, individual level preparedness is terrible. Both in SoCal and in NorCal. I keep walking into people's kitchens and pulling open cupboards to assess how long they can self-sustain. Typically not very long at all.
Also: you have got to love people who live in quake country and have an electric can opener with no manual fallback. Have fun opening that can of Campbell's with a dull paring knife.

I actually did do it my head but questioned my answer. Though doing it in my head is the same as I would do it on paper.
Ad the last column
if greater than 10 carry the 1
put the digit to the right in the place below the 2 you just added and move left. repeat
But because I don't do it on the paper I can't see where I fucked up later. so I'll keep repeating the same mistake.

When we had to do 3D orthographic projections in drafting class. I could see it in my head and found that part easy, others in my class struggled with that part of drafting class. But they usually had some other skill that I was lacking in. Point being Common core is trying to teach things that come to some intuitively and for those that don't see it it is fucking them.

Season One is on Amazon Prime video for free. Ten episodes, so you have time to catch up. Email me if Prime is an obstacle for you. I'd bet that BBCA runs an all-day marathon on April 12, as that's their usual M.O., but nothing's been announced.

DDR, if I remember right, Kim Mitchell used to front a band called Max Webster.
Here is a band that was known as The Collectors, back in the '70s, when i was a young Peon growing up in Vancouver. They reinvented themselves as "Chilliwack" (a city about 70 miles east of Vancouver, almost touching now, heh), and hit the big time. I always loved this song. Nice dynamics between loud and soft, and tasty guitar, too:

Back in the Nineties, I would come across people on the right who were absolutely rock solid convinced that Bill Clinton was a Soviet agent of influence. And, to be fair, there was some evidence which leaned that way.
I used to laugh and say, "Oops. Too little, too late, comrades!"
Because while I never thought much of Clinton, I did basically just figure him for a greasily corrupt horndog with a smooth line of patter.
In retrospect, though, I do at times wonder.

I keep saying: Democrats just *love* to pull Clinton nostalgia strings. So, Republicans should go them one better.
The GOP control the House, and the House controls the purse.
So have the House send a budget over to the Senate which contains just as much money, corrected for inflation and corrected for population growth, as Bill Clinton had to work with. (Which is a LOT less money than Obama has been getting.)
And shove it right in Obama's face. "Clinton managed to produce a strong economy and vibrant job growth with this amount of money. What is the matter with you that you can't do the same? Are you not as smart as Clinton?"
For the Narcissist in Chief, those sorts of comparisons really sting. Infinite egotism will brood and brood over the tiniest of slights.

The Litter Action Woman
They were from Minnesota, which is almost in Canada.
Speaking of Canada, how about
The Haunted 1-2-5
No, it's not a math test.
Heading east a ways, we get to England with
Wimple Winch Save My Soul
If you know what the band name means, feel free to post. Double super bonus points if you can name the Australian band that covered this song in the 1980's.
Okay, now let's get down close to where that Malaysian passenger jet drank the big gulp. Yep, I'm talking about Australia.
The Masters Apprentices Wars or hands of times
A song in the form of a letter from an Aussie GI to his sweetheart back home.
If that one is a bit to intellectual for you, these guys got one right up your, uh, driveway
The Masters Apprentices Undecided
Even a third grade graduate can understand this one. If there's one of use out there, please post an explanation, for the rest of us.

Carol, sorry about your neck. Valium is a hell of a relaxant, if 10 mg isn't doing the trick then you need to change your approach. Have you seen a DO who does manipulation? Thearapeutic massage?
Baby is due June 11? We're not sure of the exact date because different ultrasounds have given us different targets. Mrs. Crank is thinking she's going to go early, so we'll see.
Y-not, prayers. I went though that with Mrs. Crank's father before we got engaged--got his permission to wed on his deathbed. According to her, I've passed the "getting through sh*t" test several times over.

Best going rate this morning is common Remington Thunderbolt solid round nose 22lr at .14 per round. That would be about $70.00 for a brick of 500. and figure around another $8.00 for shipping.
Available online through "Rare Ammo"
That ammo should go for about $18.00 a brick.

Carol, DO = Doctor of Osteopathy, the other type of medicine doctors from MD. Part of their curriculum (which is one thing that I would have wished to go to a DO school for) is they learn skeletal manipulation, which is the sort of stuff that chiropractors do, except they are also real doctors and aren't going to tell you that aligning your spine will cure your cancer or other such bullsh*t.
20 mg of Valium is insane. I suppose it might be OK with long, long term use and under management by a pain specialist, but I'd slap one of my ER patients for suggesting I give them a dose like that.
Yes, it will be a Son of Crank.
VIA, you have no idea. Eternity is 10 minutes before shift change when the horribly unstable patient gets wheeled through the front door and needs the doc right the f*ck now, because then I get stuck 2 hours past the end of my shift stabilizing him and trying to get him admitted/transferred/explaining to the family why he didn't make it.

Hello from Down Under!
Someone mentioned the Lime Spiders - an Aussie band still going after many years
Mick Blood, who founded it (I think) is an ex RN so my claim to fame as in knowing of this band is that I knew him when he was an RN at the same hospital as I was working at
Always loved his very good appropriate surname - Blood..

I've heard of them but never heard them. Checked out "Never Never". 6.8 million views, so someone out there likes them. Not my cup of tea, but not hard to hear the appeal: An interesting mix of hard rock and techno pop.
Opinion based on just that one song, YMMV.
