#16 Coastal Carolina at Buffalo 12:00 PM ESPN2…CC and the Mullet is a 14 point favorite and covers.
#8 Cincinnati at Indiana 12:00 PM ESPN…IU has been not too bead recently…but speed kills. Cinci is a 3.5 favorite and covers.
#15 Virginia Tech at West Virginia 12:00 PM FS1…The ‘Neers are 2.5 dogs at home. I don’t like this line. I’m gonna take the ‘Neers to cover tho.
#1 Alabama at #11 Florida 3:30 PM CBS…The Gators are 15 point dogs at home. ‘Bama is ‘Bama. Therefore, I think FL won’t cover.
#22 Auburn at #10 Penn State 7:30 PM ABC…WHITE OUT game at Happy Valley. PSU is a 5 point favorite at home and covers. This team has looked really good. The QB has the tools to play on Sunday.

As the collapse of Evergrande reverberates throughout the Chinese economy, pissed off retail investors have gone from storming the company’s headquarters to taking management hostage, according to the Straits Times, citing posts ‘making the rounds’ on social media.
What we know so far: over 70,000 retail investors forked over vast sums of money, in some cases their entire life savings, after the country’s second largest, ‘too big to fail’ property developer wooed them with promises of 10%+ annual returns. And while the company most likely is TBTF (as you can read in gory detail here, although Beijing has yet to make an official proclamation), these anxious retail investors may be in more of an “Alive” situation than a Sully Sullenberger landing when it comes to resolving this mess.

Told her we were thinking Mom and Dad could probably do it but Mrs Federalist and I were concerned about long term effects and since we have already had it are going to hold off. Her comment? “The studies are done, 168,000 subjects and there are no long term effects.” For a vaccine that has been out less than one year. “Long term “, I don’t think those words mean what she thinks they mean.
At least they aren’t requiring masks in the main festival area here. They are in the indoor venues, though, like tonight’s Samantha Fish show at the Sheridan Opera House

I got to the Sheridan Opera House at about 9:00 to wait for a 9:45 opening. There was a line around the corner already. Glad I got there when I did, because it’s a lot smaller venue than I expected.
Great show. Samantha Fish played most of the songs off the new album, along with some older ones. The new 4 piece band is surprisingly good.
I didn’t make it back to the campground until almost 2AM. Almost hit an elk on the way, so that was interesting.

This afternoon, we have Larkin Poe on the main stage, followed by Samantha Fish’s main show. Then Taj Mahal, who they got to replace Buddy Guy on short notice. Then, back to the Sheridan Opera House for Larkin Poe’s late night set.
I definitely had to sleep in today. I left the campground at 9:30 AM yesterday and didn’t get back until almost 2 AM.

So…Covid strikes again. It was starting to rain a little after Samantha Fish’s main stage show, and I was getting tired of festival food, so I decided to head into town and get dinner someplace where I could sit down. I ended up eating at a place across the street from the Sheridan Opera House, where I killed time until 9:00, which was about when the line for the late night show should have started forming.
When 9:00 came and went, and I hadn’t seen anyone start lining up, I walked across the street to see what was going on, only to learn that Larkin Poe’s set had been cancelled due to an unspecified “Covid scare.” I assume that means someone in their entourage got a positive test or something, because Megan and Rebecca certainly weren’t sick that afternoon.
Since none of the other artists playing the late night shows interested me, I decided to head back to the campground. After walking the 2 blocks to the gondola station, I saw a huge line. Apparently, a large part of the festival audience had the same idea. It took 30 minutes to get onto the gondola, during which time the rain began to pick up. The ride to the summit was kind of eerie, because the rain and fog made it impossible to see out of the car. Add to that the fact that there are no lights in or on the gondolas or the pylons, and it was pretty surreal.
At least there were no elk out on the highway, so that’s a plus.
Have to see how this afternoon goes. The Allman Betts Band is up at 3:00, followed by the North Mississippi Allstars. Then there’s supposed to be a “super jam” afterwards to close things out. Not sure who’s going to show up for it, though 🙁

Now that the Haitian ‘migrants’ have got word that they’ll be deported back to Haiti (where they already escaped from once), they’re walking back to Mexico and Mexico is now pissed off because they don’t have the resources to feed them. Like locusts.

Including how they got to Mexico in the first place. Unlike Peru, Brazil and Chile, last time I checked, Haiti is on an island. They didn’t walk there.

It’s happening in other fields, as well, like police, fire and corrections, because some states are mandating shots for those workers, too.

Six months after the FBI raided hundreds of safe deposit boxes in Beverly Hills, it has produced no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the vast majority of box holders & it used a false drug trafficking accusation to try to take away a man’s life savings.

On masks.
Went to the clinic to get pumped up and (as usual) once nobody’s around I drop my mask and drink coffee. I usually leave the mask down until someone comes by, then I pull it back up out of courtesy. This morning the nurse saw me and said, “Leave it down if you want. Doesn’t bother me.”
That’s a first. Up to now it’s just been wink wink nod nod.

Vaccinated (and soused) woman had a mask shaming fit and it’s epic. Even worked in an accusation of racism.

Another variant.
Awaiting the reboot for the Valneva vaccine. after Boris Johnson kicked the production schedule into touch! Grrrr bastard !
The NZ Level #3 trial for the basic Alpha variant is underway. One of my associates and his wife managed to get aboard. I was due to join in the second level #3 trial for the Alpha + Delta variant vaccine but Boris’ stupidity has put that back 2 months to November for shot #1.
Valneva is a standard dead virus vaccine of the traditional type. NO TYPE m-RNA cellular Spike Protein production bullshit. That’s why I’m getting it. Just like the standard annual old fashioned flu shots I get every winter. The tech comes from France where there is a production facility as well as the Scottish produce that Boris put the kybosh on for political reasons.
Mixing Politics and medicine is a witch’s brew at the best of times. In 2021 it’s a lethal game played by elitists.

Keeping track of a child’s shots could be so much easier with technology invented by a new Rice University professor and his colleagues.
Kevin McHugh, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Rice since this summer, and a team at his previous institution, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, report in a cover story in Science Translational Medicine on their development of quantum-dot tags that fluoresce with information after they’re injected as part of a vaccination.
The tags are incorporated in only some of the array of sugar-based microneedles on a patch. When the needles dissolve in about two minutes, they deliver the vaccine and leave the pattern of tags just under the skin, where they become something like a bar-code tattoo.
Instead of ink, this highly specific medical record consists of copper-based quantum dots embedded in biocompatible, micron-scale capsules. Their near-infrared dye is invisible, but the pattern they set can be read and interpreted by a customized smartphone.
The two-year project is aimed at the 1.5 million preventable deaths that result from a lack of vaccinations, primarily in developing nations.
Kevin McHugh
Kevin McHugh
“The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation came to us and said, ‘Hey, we have a real problem — knowing who’s vaccinated,’” said McHugh, who was recruited to join Rice with funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. “They said, ‘We go on vaccination campaigns where people get into Hummers, drive to a rural village, set up a tent and start immunizing people, but they don’t always know who’s been immunized before and what vaccines are still needed.”

wtf is a ‘quantum dot’?

Storing medical information below the skin’s surface
Specialized invisible dye, delivered along with a vaccine, could enable “on-patient” storage of vaccination history to save lives in regions where paper or digital records aren’t available.

The French.
Initially the UK was set to produce 100 million shots with a follow on 90 million based out of a production facility in Scotland. Currently the UK has finalised their Stage #3 trials and the vaccine passed with flying colours. NZ decided to do its own trials and passed Stage #1 and Stage #2 just fine. Stage #3 trials are currently in progress. Everyone in that trial has had their first shot and the second follow up shots begin in a couple of weeks.
There is a second trial that uses the Alpha strain combined this time with the Delta strain. That’s the trial that I have joined. Then Boris Johnson in a fit of pique with his mate Macron cancelled the production. The only other parallel manufacturer is located in France who are currently manufacturing 90 million doses. The whole punch-up between France and the UK was abut the Astrazenica supply argument of 2020. Macron told Boris needs to supply some of his production to Europe and Boris told him to mind his own business. Macron responded in like and Boris told Macron that the Scottish producer can bugger off.
A childish spat!
Still this postpones the second trial in NZ by 8 weeks.

The PF9?
I’ve not personally shot one, but I’ve heard about reliability issues, particularly problems with the magazine release.
It’s about the same form factor as the Ruger LC9, the Glock 43, the Springfield Hellcat or the SIG P365. Honestly, I think the main thing in its favor out of any of those would be price. It’s probably $150-$200 less than any of the others.
If you’re looking for a concealed carry gun (which I assume you are, in that size), I think I’d save up a bit and spring for one of the others (or look into the used market, because a lot of people buy guns in that size and find out that they don’t like them, and end up trading them in).
As always, your mileage may vary 🙂

Wuhan scientists wanted to release coronaviruses into bats
“Chinese scientists wanted to genetically engineer coronaviruses that were more infectious to humans and then conduct experiments on live bats about 18 months before the first COVID-19 cases emerged — but a US Department of Defence agency rejected the funding proposal, leaked documents reveal.
Scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were planning to genetically enhance airborne coronaviruses and release aerosols containing “novel chimeric spike proteins” among cave bats in Yunnan, China, according to the 2018 proposal submitted to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). ”
