You Could Be Here: Places in the US With the Most Pleasant Days per Year
Where a pleasant day is defined as one where the mean temperature is between 55 and 75 degrees.
Unsurprisingly Southern California comes out on top with 180+ pleasant days. The worst is central Montana which gets about 3 weeks of pleasant days every year.
I decided to take a stab at what constitutes a "pleasant" day and then aggregate NOAA data for the last 23 years to figure out the regions of the United States with the most (and least) pleasant days in a typical year. The results, I think, are not that surprising and pretty much affirm the answer given off the cuff by many of my west coast friends when asked about the best places, "Southern California?" For the areas with the least pleasant days, I admit I would have guessed North Dakota. However, it's much of Montana that gets an average of a couple of weeks of pleasantness each year.
The live chart is here. Darker blue means more pleasant days per year.
Eco-Fascism Watch: Actual Torch-Wielding Mobs
Who appeared and protested at an oil company executive's home at 10pm one night.
Eight environmental activists gathered on the lawn of Mark Maki, a member of the Enbridge Energy Company's board of directors and president of Enbridge Energy Management, to protest the arrests of three anti-pipeline activists last year.The protesters, who brandished torches for a photo posted online, held a sign warning, "solidarity means attack" and "we will shut you down."
Maki stepped out of his Houston, Texas, home to talk with the protesters, though he said he was not familiar with their grievances.
"It's 10 o' clock at night, I'm happy to discuss it, [but] not here, not in my neighborhood, not with my neighbors around," Maki told them.
As protesters stood on Maki's lawn, they told him that Enbridge is "criminalizing protest" by testifying against three anti-pipeline activists who were recently convicted of criminal trespassing for chaining themselves to Enbridge construction equipment in July.
"Tell the rest of the [Enbridge] board they can expect visits," one protester at Maki's house said.
Enbridge did not respond to a request for comment.
Asked which group they belonged to, the protesters said they represented "The People."
Well all they're lacking now are the white hoods. Of course this is in Texas so I'm guessing Mr. Maki and the other members of the board are discreetly packing some firepower in case the mob becomes unruly.
Joe Biden Loves The Big Choo-Choo
And an early version of his first campaign commercial is here.
Kevin D. Williamson: The Feminist Mystique
A useful definition is this: "Feminism is the words 'I Want!' in the mouths of three or more women, provided they're the right kind of women." Feminism must therefore accommodate wildly incompatible propositions - e.g., (1) Women unquestionably belong alongside men in Marine units fighting pitched battles in Tora Bora but (2) really should not be expected to be able to perform three chin-ups. Or: (1) Women at Columbia are empowered by pornography but (2) women at Wellesley are victimized by a statue of a man sleepwalking in his Shenanigans. And then there is Fluke's Law: (1) Women are responsible moral agents with full sexual and economic autonomy who (2) must be given an allowance, like children, when it comes to contraceptives.
And they likely knew it was a mistake early on but moved heaven and earth to cover it up rather than just admit it. Apparently the Holder DOJ has been taking some lessons from the Italian justice system.
After seven years of litigation, two trips to a federal appeals court and $3.8 million worth of lawyer time, the public has finally learned why a wheelchair-bound Stanford University scholar was cuffed, detained and denied a flight from San Francisco to Hawaii: FBI human error.FBI agent Kevin Kelley was investigating Muslims in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2004 when he checked the wrong box on a terrorism form, erroneously placing Rahinah Ibrahim on the no-fly list.
What happened next was the real shame. Instead of admitting to the error, high-ranking President Barack Obama administration officials spent years covering it up. Attorney General Eric Holder, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and a litany of other government officials claimed repeatedly that disclosing the reason Ibrahim was detained, or even acknowledging that she'd been placed on a watch list, would cause serious damage to the U.S. national security. Again and again they asserted the so-called "state secrets privilege" to block the 48-year-old woman's lawsuit, which sought only to clear her name.
...Ibrahim was a Stanford University doctoral student in architecture and design from Malaysia and was headed to Hawaii to give a paper on affordable housing. Wheelchair-bound after just having a hysterectomy, she was handcuffed, detained for hours at San Francisco International Airport and denied her pain medication until paramedics arrived in 2005. She was eventually released and allowed to fly to her home country of Malaysia.She sued, seeking to learn if she was on the no-fly list and to clear her name. Her case ping-ponged across the legal landscape for years as the government tried everything it could to have the lawsuit tossed.
The woman was even barred a return flight for her own trial. So was one of her daughters, a U.S. born American citizen, who witnessed her mother's humiliation at the San Francisco airport.
NY Glock Laser-Wielding Director of Homeland Security Given Retroactive Gun Permit
Not only did Jerome M. Hauer sweep the audience while using the laser sight on his Glock as a pointer during a presentation but it turns out he didn't even have a permit to carry the gun that he routinely wears. Not a problem - Gov. Cuomo gave him a retroactive permit. It's good being a member of The Party.
Kazakhstan's President may drop the 'stan' from his country's name to distinguish his booming oil-rich nation from the rest of Central Asia, where the other so-called stans are mostly mired in poverty.The world's ninth largest nation by area with a population of just 17 million, Kazakhstan is the largest economy of the post-Soviet region, which also includes Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan
Nursultan Nazarbayev, who visited the nation's oil capital Atyrau in western Kazakhstan on Thursday afternoon, said a new name like Kazakh Eli, which stands for 'The Land of Kazakhs', would be more eye-catching for a foreigner studying the region's map.
"The Washington Post reports, 'In the past several decades, the number of private and recreational pilots across the country has plummeted, as has the number of small aircraft being manufactured - trends that some say have been accelerated by increasingly strict federal regulations. If the decline continues, it will spell trouble for entrepreneurs ... Since 1980, the number of pilots in the country has nosedived from about 827,000 in 1980 to 617,000, according to the Frederick, Md.-based Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. During about the same period, data from the General Aviation Manufacturers Association in Washington show that production of single-engine planes plunged from 14,000 per year to fewer than 700.'"
Ending Binary Gender in Fiction, or How to Murder Your Writing Career
A nice fisking by Larry Correia explaining why message fic is the death of good fiction.
Now, before we continue I need to establish something about my personal writing philosophy. Science Fiction is SPECULATIVE FICTION. That means we can make up all sorts of crazy stuff and we can twist existing reality to do interesting new things in order to tell the story we want to tell. I'm not against having a story where there are sexes other than male and female or neuters or schmes or hirs or WTF ever or that they flip back and forth or shit. robot sex. Hell, I don't know. Write whatever tells your story.But the important thing there is STORY. Not the cause of the day. STORY.
Because readers buy STORIES they enjoy and when readers buy our stuff, authors GET PAID.
...You want a truth bomb? Readers hate being preached at. Period. Even when you agree with the message, if it is ham fisted and shoved in your face, it turns you off. Message fic for message fic's sake makes for tedious reading. Yet, as this stuff has become more and more prevalent, sci-fi has become increasingly dull, and readership has shrank.
Of course, the literati won't be happy until everything is boring ass message fic and nobody reads sci-fi anymore, because then they'll be super special snowflakes.
Lemon Bear Dick Punch - The Drink
Courtesy of MJ over at The Hostages.
Based on hours of research, countless nights spent mixing various ingredients, and perhaps divine inspiration, the H2 has given rise to (Lippy) a particularly interesting cocktail. Behold: the Lemon Bear.This drink was taught to me by my late, great mixologist mentor, Richard. As he described, it was originally intended to be made for large parties and mimics the fizzy, sherbet induced punches that were popular in the '70s. This is an updated version.
The Lemon Bear
1.5 oz Citron Vodka
1 oz limoncello
1 oz finely grated orange rind
3 small scoops of lemon sorbet
1 oz Champagne
Place the scoops of sorbet in a cocktail glass. Place a few ice cubes in a cocktail shaker and mix the vodka, limoncello, orange rind and shake vigorously. Pour the strained mixture over the sorbet, and top with the Champagne.
Nothing keeps you warm on a frosty New England day than a lemon based concoction of alcohol and frozen desert.
Enjoy!
Yahoo group. That is all.
The group thingy. And the middle class.

I can only presume that whoever made the chart isn't aware of the big chemical mining facility over in Trona. Smells like ... borax!
I could move to "North of Ridgecrest, CA" to get *another* 3 pleasant days a year, but that space is occupied.

Dude. It's not going to can well, no matter what you do. It's a Chinese (Sichuan) fresh soup.
But, OK, I'll try. There's this Chinese brand, with a bright blue label...damn, can't find it on Google. I think it begins with "M". If anyone can do it, they would be able to. In any case, I suggest that you skip the Thai brands (unless you're casual about the "hot" meaning chili instead of black pepper, in which case they may be your best bet), get the most Chinese brand you can find, preferably blue, and view it as a starting point, adding fresh-ground black pepper and vinegar to give it a bite, and, preferably, adding some pork slivers marinated in soy and salt and a touch of cornstarch, for umami. Might work out OK.

Most of DC was shut down today, but not all of it. I went to Arlington for the interment service for Chief Machinery Repairman Gary Martin, US Navy (Retired). MIL's cousin's husband. He was an old-school non-combat badass. Wintered over in Antarctica. Twice. Back before the internet or instantaneous communication with family. Cold and drizzly, with a lot of snow on the ground. Seemed appropriate. Navy Honor Guard looked sharp too.
RIP, Chief.

It makes the Pacific Northwest look like a paradise, because it defines a day where it is dark and entirely overcast and drizzly as a "nice day", as long as it doesn't get below 45 degrees.

Of course, when it's like this in February we usually get hit by a major earthquake. So won't be too surprised if we get a 6+ in the next few days.

You may recall that Joffen's sister had found me. She's been here.....and, more to the point, she's been there, and along the way she has formed an impression of you scruffy lot. As it turns out, she's also the moderator for the Joffen guestbook and wants me to let you know that while you may certainly leave an actual email address, instead of some bogus gmail like x998b5d16, she would understand if you use the latter. BTW, if you do use that one, she'll recognize it.
Unfortunately, I was somewhat distracted by her shaking me by the scruff of my neck, so I'm not absolutely certain if she really wanted only Al-Anon style first names or if "short and family-friendly" versions of nics were generally ok. You can now find examples of both there. Either way, she understand that Joffen's friends-in-a-box may prefer a measure of anonymity.

Nazarbayev is STILL prez of Kazakhstan? Dude took power when I was working on projects in the former Onion (USSR). Now I kind of understand there's not a whole lot of dynamism or turnover in fair countries such as that, but geez, he's gotta be pushing 80. My favorite strongman in the 'stans was in Turkmenistan, where his title was not some prissy 18th century thing like "president", but translated roughly as "horseman of the Turks".
Favorite wild story of that era (which is saying something) was when some Iranian asshole (Rafsanjani?) dignitary visited. Customary gift of a beautiful white horse was presented. Like an idiot, he climbed up on it (he was no horseman), and it took off like a shot. I recall the cable describing the apoplectic Iranian security guys chasing after the runaway horse. VP Gore was presented with the horse gift too - as I recall there was a brief diplomatic/logistic crisis deciding what the hell to do with it so as not to offend. You'd think anticipating such stuff is what an embassy is for.

Pleasant weather? Got up in the high 80s today, so I watered the citrus and the herbs. Will run some sprinklers tonite to give a drink to some succulents on the canyon bank. And there are a hell of a lot more than 180 pleasant days in America's Finest City. Yes, the populace is predominantly worthless and I'd rather they all moved to Chad or North Korea, but seeing as the country is firmly in the grip of the clueless and un-American at most levels, and the institutions have rotted and collapsed, might as well have perfect climate and easy access to the ocean, the desert, and mountains.
Oddly enough, I'm dying for some snow, specifically to do some x-c skiing (or better, a lot of x-c skiing). May have to drive up to CO. Wish I had founded some stupid internet chatting/dithering firm and now had a private jet to take me to Quebec City for weekends. Always great snow and great eats.

I keep it around too -- it's an essential ingredient when making your own tonic water, which is only 2,000 times as awesome in a gin-and-tonic as the stuff you can buy. But the chemists have their subtleties, and apparently this is one of them. What I've read is that citric acid is in no way a substitute for sodium citrate, if your goal is to bend cheese to your will. So even though I had citric acid around, I ordered some sodium citrate.
I like the "not cocaine" thing, but I knew you were awesome already, so this only confirms it.

Your recipe. I must have it.
Sure, OK. It started with this: http://tinyurl.com/cpf75qd
But I needed to adjust it, because it didn't seem right to me, although it seemed close.
First, there is a lot of hassle in filtering it with all that sugar, so why not make a sugar-free syrup, and add that later if you want? I'm on Atkins, so I add Splenda, but it's also true that the sugar makes it MUCH harder to filter.
Second, the cinchona. Do NOT get powder. I don't remember where I got mine, but look at the pictures, and get some cinchona that comes in little chunks.
The lemongrass was too much, the lime too little, the cinchona too little, and coriander seed seemed like a right addition to me, and it was, so here is what I make now:
4 cups water
5 limes
one orange
one good-sized stalk lemongrass
1 TBSP whole coriander seed, very fresh (you want it to smell citrusy still)
4 TBSP cinchona bark
Put the water in a saucepan. Add cinchona chunks. Zest the limes and the orange using a microplane grater, and add zest to the pan. Add lemongrass with the dirty outer layers removed, and cut into 1/4" slices, and coriander seed. Bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer 10 minutes. Juice the limes (but not the orange! I did this once and wound up with gelatin) and add the lime juice and bring to a simmer and simmer 10 minutes more. Take it off the heat and let sit until cool. Pour into sterilized jar (I pour boiling water and let sit 10 minutes). You now have a very good quantity of unsweetened tonic water syrup.
I make a gin and tonic by adding 1 1/2 oz gin and 3/4T syrup and 1-2 drops of liquid Splenda (substitute the appropriate amount of Simple Syrup if you do not have Metabolic Syndrome) to a glass, and using the soda syphon to get to your desired volume. It is a treat. If you have only had G&T with commercial tonic, it is a treat that does not even resemble what you have had before.

I don't see occupational mobility as the status symbol that most people do. I'd like to think that, after he's done what he can to defend the country, the kid might be well enough established to work independently, or at least consult from a home base. I passed up some chances for professional adventure so I could remain on my family's traditional holdings, and though I made less ready cash, I'm sure I ended up with a higher standard of living for it.
But, he has several big moves on tap courtesy of Uncle, and then at least a couple of years teaching on that awful Rampart Range. I kind of hope he gets "moving" out of his system. There's some land here I'd like to leave him.

5) EAST OF CEDARVILLE, CA 16 days/y
The only thing east of Cedarville is the Black Rock/Smoke Desert. No, it's not sub-Saharan, it's an ancient playa situated in high plains mountain sagebrush. It's a pretty cool place to explore.
The lower playa is where the Burningman is held and the north playa is simply remote grandeur. The northern playa is also an ideal location for test firing homemade multi-stage rockets.

I think we'd better just resolve that there were some important variables left out of that climate map -- which is nothing new with climate studies, when you think about it.

No, that's been around for a while and is quite accurate. If they do, they'll instantly have the same water problems as Fresno when confronted with the thirsty mass of voters that is LA. Then, again, this is the area that clung to gay bathhouses after it was clear they spread AIDS -- it's clear they have no survival instinct.

Hetch Hetchy water actually was rated the best water supply in the US a couple of decades ago. Also, Calso mineral water -- a completely synthetic mineral water that was sought worldwide -- was based on it.

I hope it brings comfort to the family, AOP. They're in a world of hurt.

Yes, the Annandale in NoVa was what started the reference to My Old School as -- see above -- I mentioned I'm from there.

Heh, was headed to the cornshucks, but drinking for the first time since the CoMoronMeet dec 14 and watching song remains the same a profound thought of such profundity occured to me (I`m sure I`m not the first), when you`re young you drink to forget, when older you drink to remember.
Once again I tip my hat and say, stranger pass by.

Have to make it a time when I'm visiting Daughter in J-ville. I need to make a trip down there sometime soon anyway, but I'm waiting for warmer weather.

Wow with a capital 'W', zombie -- the ice beginning to crack under Che just because he was a homicidal psychopath?!?

So it'll be a while yet. That's fine, I'm not planning on going anywhere.

I always did, too. She was an extraordinary Lady that loved the United States, she did not like what she saw happening, or what she saw in the future. She did tell me that there were too many good here to let it all go bad.

So if you are not a revolutionary, the guy at the next desk probably is.

Morning, all.
We got about a foot of snow yesterday, so ran the snowblower till it was out of gas. I expected more, but was suprised when I got up this morning; warm (well, after yesterday, 35 is warm) and mainly thawing ice. But another 3-6 inches is supposed to come around tomorrow, which pisses me off (though, if you knew me, you'd know almost everything pisses me off).
And here I am at work like a sucker.

And may I be the first one to invite you to perform physically improbable acts of a mostly sexual nature upon your own person.

Bunch of my friends here in Denver area were planning rides yesterday, `sposed to be high 60`s Sunday. We`ll be on a roll according to forecast, 8 days of 50 pluss, shirtsleeve weather. Why I like it here, no humidity, no bugs, and shirtsleeves at 40.

Yeah, Correia is a master at his craft. I know I wouldn't want to be the object of his undivided attention.
