IT’S AN OPEN
15/30 so far…1000/$1000. I was 1/4 last week. I’m doing much better this year than last. Last year at this point I was 29/57 750/$100. I’m even as of now, %50 right, %50 wrong. 15 winner and 15 losers. And I corrected a math error 15/30 is even with each bet at $100, not $200 down. I gotta quit trying to do this on my phone.
I started looking at the games Tuesday night:
Friday Night:
#20 Virginia at Miami – Fri, Oct 11, 8:00 PM ET…as of Tuesday night, VA was a 2.5 dog. I’ll take that for the Cavs to beat the spread.
Saturday:
#6 Oklahoma at #11 Texas – Sat, Oct 12, 12:00 PM ET…Betradar has OK as 11.5 point favorites…In THIS GAME??? no way. Texas beats that spread.
#1 Alabama at #24 Texas A&M – Sat, Oct 12, 3:30 PM ET…as of TUesday there is no line. The line is 17.5. TAMU can beat that spread.
USC at #9 Notre Dame – Sat, Oct 12, 7:30 PM ET…USC is an 11 point dog on the road at the Catholics in Indiana. ‘SC won’t beat this spread.
#10 Penn State at #17 Iowa – Sat, Oct 12, 7:30 PM ET…PSU is a 3 point favorite and will beat this spread on the road.
#7 Florida at #5 LSU – Sat, Oct 12, 8:00 PM ET…The Gators are 14 point dogs at Death Valley and beat the spread.
I really wish the NFL would forget that Thursday Night Football game and give us an excellent NCAA matchup in its place. THAT I would watch.

FOX has a sullied name for Democrats. They think it’s a station for right wing bigots. I can’t see FOX suddenly becoming respectable to the readers of the NYT and the New Yorker. I don’t know about the West Coast, but the East Coast is not going to flock over to FOX. Tucker is still trusted by the right, but the few Republicans I know will listen to Rush and other people as FOX drifts left. Hopefully FOX will drift off to irrelevance. The Murdochs don’t need the money. anyway. 🙂 It’s a vanity project.

@ yenta-fada:
I meant ‘not that we wouldn’t all like piles of money’ What an odd Freudian slip. Since I’m so restricted, buying stuff doesn’t mean all that much. I do like being able to pay the bills, buy books and movies, replace broken stuff, and still have plenty left over to continue to do so.

Cohen Before: “a fine person with a wonderful family.”
After: “If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen!” “a weak person,” “not a very smart person,” a “bad lawyer,” and “a fraudster.”
Steve Bannon Before: chief strategist, which Trump created just for him calling him “tough and smart.”
After: “Sloppy Steve” who “cried when he got fired and begged for his job.”
Omarosa Manigault Newman Before: a “loyal friend,” and trusted confidante
After: “not smart” “lowlife” and earned the nickname “wacky Omarosa.” He said he’d only kept her around because she said nice things about him.
Jerome Powell Before: “He’s strong, he’s committed, he’s smart,” . “I am confident that with Jay as a wise steward of the Federal Reserve, it will have the leadership it needs in the years to come.”
After: Powell is “clueless” and “letting us down.”

The People’s Republic of California is at it again; through unelected state officials, California is severing ties to ham radio repeater owners throughout the state, jeopardizing the lives of millions of Californians who depend on these repeaters to operate during emergencies.
Last month, repeater operators were sent emails telling them the State would no longer allow them to operate repeaters on public land without paying substantial rental fees. In the letter sent by CAL FIRE, the state claims Ham operators no longer provide a benefit to the state or public safety. They claimed that “constantly changing technological advances” has made Ham radio obsolete during an emergency.

there isn’t enough natural gas in the existing pipeline to keep adding more service points. If they continue to hook up new customers, you’re going to see the backpressure in the lines start dropping during peak demand hours. If you look at the configuration of a typical gas furnace installation you’ll note that if the incoming gas pressure drops too low, the furnace will simply shut down for safety reasons until the pressure is restored.
Of course, none of this may wind up mattering (at least until winter) because National Grid turned around and agreed to do the hookups anyway. It was that or face crippling fines handed down by the state. They will apparently open up more lines and just wait for the weakening gas supply to shut off the heat on its own.

As the Japanese have no winter sport they have really taken to Rugby and the ‘BraveCherry Blossoms’ have gone from strength to strength over the pst 16 years against Tier 2 and Tier teams like Canada the US and Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. They used to be a pushover against Tier 1 teams like the Europeans and Argentina but no more. The Brave Cherry Blossoms convincingly beat BOTH Ireland and Scotland who are true Tier 1 teams as well as the Tier 3 Russians, to top their Pool Play Group and advance unbroken into the Quarters.
After the World Cup there should be a Pacific Southern Hemisphere set on internationals between, The All Blacks, Aussie Wallabies, South African Springboks, The US Eagles, Canada’s Maple Leaf, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji and Argentina, with the occasional invitational with Uruguay. The way that Japan has developed that would vastly improve the play and put the fear of god into the Europeans, especially the likes of the Italians and the French.

That starves Hezbollah of BOTH arms and $$$$ as Iran’s economy staggers under the weight of US sanctions.
The warning by Trump to Turkey to not go TOO FAR or else face fiscal warfare and sanctions against Turkey’s fragile economy allows US allies in Kurds to shelter deeper inside Syrian Kurdistan whilst leaving the PKK to face the wrath of the Turks in Eastern Kurdistan / Southern Turkey /Northern Iraq.
With all the players engaged the US can withdraw and bolster the AAA in Saudi to protect against another missile bombardment from Iran. The Saudis should buy their own AAA nd do their own protecting but in the van of that the US protects the European oil supply lines and ensures European continued support as Iran is crushed under the sanctions.

Ocean-warming study RETRACTED by journal Nature
In an unexpected development, the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Nature has retracted a study published last year which claimed that oceans were warming faster than expected due to climate change, and that the rate at which warming was happening was accelerating.
.
.
However, Nicholas Lewis, a mathematician and self-described independent climate change researcher, posted a sharp critque of the research pointing out serious errors in the original calculations from the Scripps Institute and Princeton University researchers.

Curtains are easy, no curved seams, just some dumb pleats at the top maybe
Google has some topographic maps that are enough. There’s enough on them that I DON’T understand, anything more sophisticated would be wasted on me. Where they are is relatively flat, but I can’t find/see any nearby airfields, etc. There aren’t a lot of main roads, they’re probably trashed by now anyway, they’ll probably go overland in order to stay ‘deconflicted’. I suspect they’re going to have to accelerate the evac timeline from weeks to days.
I guess I missed the memo:

Actually they two backed silk curtains that were cut down from 4 metres to 2 metres. They curtain track SNAFU by Mrs. AI means that they’ll end up as 4x 1 metre curtains they are a little short as well and seeing that Mrs. AI is adding a contrasting bottom 10 cm she might as well add a 5 cm up each side In other words she is re cutting and remaking the whole shebang.

I delivered a bunch of flowers to Mrs. AI at school when I collected the set of keys. Ladies like getting flowers I’ve been told on good advice.

At the beach. Had a curry on the way down and looking to light the fire and settling in for a cozy evening.

Another day…another attempt by Adam Schiff to move the goalposts.
I hear the IG’s report is as thick as a phone book. And it’s devastating.
And I turned 66 yesterday. Now I’m REALLY a “senior citizen.”
The new narrative is that Trump is supporting the murder of journalists.
A video was shown at a gathering of Trump supporters meeting at Mar-a-Lago that is adapted from something called the Kingston video. The modified vid shows Trump stabbing and shooting journalists (I’m not clear on what was in the original but it wasn’t Trump doing the killing and it wasn’t journalists being murdered.) This is now a threat to our very democracy
So now Trump, who knows nothing about it, is at fault. One of these morons gets a hangnail and it’s TRUMP.
This is SO important it made the front page of WaPo

But what nobody is telling you is that it’s been on youtube for a year and somehow our democracy survived
And more fun from the “gee, I can’t imagine how that happens” vault
The Vatican is investigating how $200m in Swiss bank accounts controlled by its central administrator ended up financing a luxury property development in London that generated large profits for a company that managed the investment

@ The Barbarian:
Happy Birthday! Did you get any cool presents?
I hear the IG’s report is as thick as a phone book
The funny part about that statement is that half the people reading/hearing it are going “phone book??”
@ eaglesoars:
Haha – that’s true. Of course, let’s hope when they say phone book they mean the Manhattan Yellow Pages and not Lodi, California.
The kids took me to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. And I got a new electric can opener (don’t laugh – it’s really what I wanted!).
@ eaglesoars:
I saw that. No correction up on ABC – seriously caught with their pants down on this one.
@ eaglesoars:
Of course, they had no trouble with actual MOVIES that were made about the assassination of George W. Bush or the hunting down and MURDER of Trump supporters. Let alone the real assassination attempt of GOP Congressmen on a baseball field.

I’m 18 mos older than you. I’m not laughing
wasn’t there a play about assassinating Trump? I forget where it was, Central Park maybe? It was outside. Laura Loomer and her pals rushed the stage and broke it up.
@ eaglesoars:
As long as Republicans, Conservatives and Deplorables are being murdered, it’s okay because….we have it coming.
I remember Wanda Sikes saying at the WHC Dinner that she hoped Rush Limbaugh had a stroke and “he failed” (he wasn’t there, of course) and the audience thought it was hilarious. Obama was laughing. POS.
Rush is covering the fake ABC ‘syria slaughter’ video (which ABC has now turned ‘private’)
@ eaglesoars:
and on that note…

@ eaglesoars:
Never mind that impeachment inquiries are generally handled by the Judiciary Committee, NOT the Intelligence Committee.
Where’s the VOTE, Nancy? Randy Quaid is planning on running against Schifty for his Congressional seat.
