My Godson is apparently still on Austin’s personal staff at the 5 sided puzzle Palace in DC. One of the two LTC on his personal staff. Can’t wait to get clear and head off to Va and the War College as a senior instructor. Austin’s illness was kept VERY quiet and he’s been not well for some time. I am guessing that Austin is ‘dog tucker’! 🙂
As I said! A waste of rations!

Clapton wrote the song with Jim Gordon, the drummer in his then-new band, Derek and the Dominos.
The Allman Brothers connection came from the recording of the song. Duane Allman played the slide guitar part.
@ eaglesoars:
Another bit of trivia: Clapton actually wrote two songs about Patti Boyd. The second was “Wonderful Tonight,” one of my favorite Clapton songs:
Like him or not, Ted Cruz is uniquely qualified to discuss the Supreme Court, and he goes into an analysis of the arguments Trump’s legal team have put forward in the appeal of the Colorado case, along with what he expects to see happen. Spoiler: He predicts that there’s a 60-70% chance that it will be a unanimous decision overturning Colorado’s ruling, probably on the grounds that they didn’t properly prove that Trump engaged in an insurrection (very different from saying that he did or didn’t, which is something they’d never get a unanimous decision on).
@ lobo91:
yeah, that part I knew.
Her autobiography was heartbreaking. What an utter bastard Clapton (and George Harrison) was.
I saw an interview with Clapton where he said he doesn’t know if he actually loved her but he knew he was – his word – obsessed with her
And the way George Harrison behaved..I mean what a garbage run. Harrison was a worthless human being.

@ eaglesoars:
No slide guitar in that performance.
It’s very prominent in the original recording particularly starting around 2:20:
@ eaglesoars:
If they let the Colorado ruling stand, that will end Trump’s run in its tracks. The other 49 states will have no choice but to remove him from the ballot, because that will be saying that he did, in fact, engage in insurrection.
If they overturn it on substantive grounds (saying that Trump did not engage in insurrection), they can look forward to gaining about 6 new officemates recruited from the ACLU, because the Dems will make good on their threats to pack the court.
The only middle ground is to overturn it on procedural grounds. Make no judgment either way on Trump’s guilt or innocence, and tell them to come back when he’s been proven guilty of something in a real trial.

Someone managed to find all the individual videos of The Warning from their 2015 performance at their school in Monterrey and edit them all together for the first time. It’s interesting to see how far they’ve come, but also how much talent each of them had at an early age. Ale was 10, Pau was 13 and Dany was 15 at the time. There are 10 songs (four covers and six originals). I was particularly impressed by Ale’s bass in their cover of Hysteria, starting at 10:09 or so:

Makes one wonder just how stable a Nation State, the USA, really is!
https://floppingaces.net/2023/12/30/misleading-causes-of-the-american-civil-war/
To my mind little has changed in the US except the seizure of the capital of the nation by a group of bankers and ‘Eloi elites’ with hidden agendas, whilst keeping their money for themselves, and NOT fighting and dying like the rest of the ‘Morlocks’. The late arrival of the USA to BOTH World Wars and the vast profiteering from those death feasts extends to this day, as the US Alphabet Agencies continue to raise wars globally and then allow the neo-Eloi to profit of those wars, whilst again requiring the Morlocks to do the required dying. From my perspective nothing has really changed since the 1830s and probably back to the minor battle of 1812, with a distracted Britain, otherwise distracted by the French! Again!
How can any independent Nation State trust the USA with ANY promise? Every now and then we see the true face of the USA, as the mailed fist slips from beneath the silken glove, as happened in the 1960s in Australia over the quickly truncated nuclearization of an independent Australian thermonuclear security guarantee. Britain felt the US knife twist, post WWI and WWII when Britain felt the US need to further impoverish Britain, to seize the money and power from a weakened British Nation. Not that Perfidious Albion was ever a paragon of virtue with it’s various controls over 60 + Nation States over 150 years. The one shining virtue of which the British can be actually proud, is the counter intuitive destruction of the global Slave Trade by the British Navy West African Coast Squadron, even though it cost Britain financially, and was done for the very best of intentions.

For that alone the USA never forgave the British!

White Bakers Banned From Competition
The King Arthur Baking Company is hosting a competition for bakeries and the winner gets a lot of dough.
It’s called “Baking Pitchfest 2024.”
Winners get mentorship from other bakers and financial support for their bakeries.
It sounds like a great opportunity for the pastry and pie crowd. But there’s just one catch. No white people are allowed to enter the competition.
Only bakeries that are owned by persons of color are allowed to participate.
“Baking Pitchfest 2024 is more than a competition; it’s a platform for empowering People of Color to break barriers and redefine the narrative in baking,” Kathleen Casanova told Baking Business.
That’s because King Arthur is trying to foster inclusivity and creativity by providing equitable opportunities for people of color.
“Pitchfest 2024 is a testament to our commitment to fostering a more inclusive baking community and empowering creative POC leaders in the industry,” said Molly Lawrence, the company’s corporate social responsibility manager.
In other words – white bakers must be excluded to achieve maximum inclusivity.
Chocolate cake good. Classic white cake is bad. And whatever you do, don’t do Martha White or White Lily Flour.
Organizers say Baking Pitchfest is more than just a competition; it’s a platform to empower bakers of color and to “increase racial and ethnic diversity in the field.”

California fucks up again
Here it is: the “wealth tax” — 1-1.5% of ALL your appraised global holdings (except real estate) for rich people (the ones still remaining, who pay the little tax we still have). This INCLUDES the paper value of businesses or assets you haven’t sold and can’t sell to pay the tax.
So let’s say you started a private company that’s doing well. Its shares aren’t listed so you can’t sell stock. If the state believes your company is worth more than a certain amount, they can force you to pay 1-1.5% of its total value every year. Even if you don’t have the cash because this is a hypothetical valuation. So people who have wealth on paper (as defined by the state and we all know how good they are at math!) could be bankrupted to pay tax and may have their businesses and assets seized by the state.

The tradition of Vile British Teeth dates back to the British colonial importation of masses of sugar from the Jamaican sugar-cane slave plantations. The proles were encouraged to ingest quantities of sugar (i.e., tooth-rot) and quantities of rum (i.e., distilled tooth-rot) to create docile, underfed domestic slaves in their underheated hovels.

If for nothing else at least Britain left in their wake a functioning Civil Service and a basic operational legal system. Between using other nations as quarries and food producers, as well as volunteer soldiers. What Britain did that forever gave it everlasting thanks was the destruction of the global slave trade, that went against commercial logic and power. It was simply the right thing to do regardless of the costs and then unleashed the Royal Navy to kill anyone who broke the British law regarding trading in slaves across the rest of the globe, regardless of what the rest of the world wanted.
For that alone Britain deserved the name Great Britain, regardless of all of the other acts it perportrated

Milley needs to be recalled to active duty and court martialed.
I’m amazed at the number of people who don’t understand that. Probably 90% of Americans believe that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is actually in charge of the military. He isn’t in charge of shit. If he were, his title would be Commander. All he runs is his office staff. Same goes for the service chiefs.
When Milley set himself up as the defacto commander-in-chief following the election and told the senior leaders at the Pentagon that they were to take orders from him, rather than the president, he should have been arrested. The fact that nobody was bothered by it tells me that everyone who was aware of it should be cashiered, if not prosecuted as accomplices.
If anyone is interested in reading COL Matthews’ report, it’s available online:

He didn’t get away with this by himself.

The carnival-sideshow poster at the top of the thread reminds me fondly of the late, lamented Riverview amusement park—Chicago’s version of Coney Island.
Like Coney Island, it had multiple roller coasters, a “parachute jump” tower, a funhouse, many shooting-gallery and three-throws-for-a-quarter try-your-luck booths where you could win cheesy prizes, and—a freak show, the front of which was covered with posters like that one. I remember the barker going on out front about “the Alligator Girl” (“a girl like any other, but the good Lord chose to place upon her the hard, heavy, tough skin of an alligator! Come inside and see her, and hear her fantastic story!”), and showing off the “teaser act,” a fellow he called “the Human Butter Churn,” who, stripped to the waist, would ripple his stomach vertically, and rapidly, from left to right.
Riverview was torn down—fell prey to development—sometime in the late ’60s. A great cultural loss.

Followup to #185; if you want to see a truly bravura carnival-barker film performance, check out the great Lee Tracy in the film “The Half-Naked Truth,” starring Tracy, Lupe Velez, Eugene Pallette, and Frank Morgan.
Velez is a carnival cooch dancer, involved with Tracy, her “barker,” and Pallette is the carnival strong man. They take it on the lam when locals decide to bust up the carnival, and Tracy fast-talks Velez into a role in “Merle Farrell’s Follies,” a nod to Earl Carroll’s “Vanities” and Ziegfeld’s “Follies,” by passing her off as an escaped Turkish harem girl.
The film is hilarious.

My favorite story was about Simon Metz, aka Schlitzie (the basis of Bill Griffin’s Zippy the Pinhead comics). He had the mental capacity of a 6-year old, wore the smock for hygienic reasons, and knowingly played an idiot. When show patrons threw spare change at him, he’d collect it all and throw it back for laughs.
While on his death bed, his last words to his manager were “Yeah. We really fooled ’em.”

Pretty pathetic too when the Squadron sent him home early not because he was actually in danger living in the squadron, but because he was a pain in the arse. Sure he chanced his arm when he flew as a front seat gunner but any threat saw him back in squadron pushing paper!

PNGVR gave me one to wear on the right as it 25 years after PNGVR was awarded it, as a Unit citation. Back in WWII PNGVR were mostly ‘stay behind’ coffee planters , Kyups (government Patrol Officers), and Australian officials who initially manned coast watchers stations covertly, and eventually evolved into an over-strength Battalion Group. Post war PNGVR became tribal Companies of an over strength Battalion Group. I was a Platoon Commander in Delta Company based out of Wewak but stretched all the way West along the north coast as far as Vanimo where I flew out of. After I left TPNG before Independence PNGVR was shut down as the new PNG government were afraid that tribally based company groups would be a danger to the new nation, as sedition was being touted by some.

Big banks suing the Fed? Yowser
Big banks have hired one of the country’s top trial lawyers and are preparing to sue the Federal Reserve — a nearly unthinkable challenge — if sweeping new industry regulations aren’t watered down.
Eugene Scalia, the son of the former Supreme Court justice and a well-known conservative litigator, is quietly drawing up a lawsuit seeking to block the proposed rules on behalf of the Bank Policy Institute, a trade group that represents JPMorgan, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, and others, people familiar with the matter said. It would be the first time in recent memory that the industry has sued the Fed, and a departure from standard halls-of-power persuasion efforts that try to avoid antagonizing its chief regulator.
The stakes are high: Banks warn they’ll pull back from lending, particularly to small businesses and borrowers with lower incomes or credit scores. Some of that is posturing, but the rules would eat into bank profits, pushing them in some lines of business below the returns they have promised shareholders.

My 4×4 couldn’t handle the slope to the gates towing a full trailer load, so we’ll have to get help carrying the wood bit by bit to the trailer.

It’s not cold yet. It’s in the 40sF. The coldest it has been since we’ve been here is 10F. The coldest it’s expected to be thru Thursday is 29F. I’m from Pennsylvania, we call that ‘winter’. Ice is my concern if one of the dogs has an emergency can I get her to the vet. It will be too cold for the girls to go out for a day or two, so SOMEBODY is going to have to be sedated. That would be me.

THAT can be serious weather Eagles when you are subject to Continental weather and it can get seriously cold. Here am I moaning about 30C and 98% humidity! All I have to do is have a shower and it’s fixed!
Got a major tree on the ground in Auckland that will keep us warm next winter. It’s beautiful wood and it’s cut into rounds and it’s hardwood and HEAVY. Too good for burning but we have to get rid of it somehow so it’ll at least keep us warm next winter. Not allowed to sell native hardwoods on the open market but you can give it away or use it yourself. I will give 6 large rounds to a bunch of wood thinners who can make beautiful wooden bowls out of them and maybe they will give me one or two platters or bowls back as a gift!

Totara is a very strong hardwood and Maori used to carve 100 warrior ocean going canoes out of them because they have natural oils in them and resist rotting in the sea.
Wood thinners = Wood turners!

Our deck furniture is made out of some wood native to Australia and I forget the name. It’s a dark dark reddish brown and has weathered fairly well since 1996. Now it needs to be replaced but that’s a long time in the elements.

It’s a hardwood that doesn’t float. There used to be huge stands in Northern New Guinea as well as Oz where it was used for furniture and outdoors pieces. The logs taken from the New Guinea forest were brought down to ‘Steamships’ timber yard in Vanimo township. Polish freighters used to anchor in Vanimo Bay and the logs needed steel pontoons to support them to float them out into the bay where the freighter’s cranes lifted the logs into the holds and stacked some onto the deck. They were selling the dressed timbers for coffins in Queensland of all things!

Twenty Five years ago. How time flies when you’re having low altitude fun on a damp night in Hong Kong in a Boeing 747-200. At least the usual crosswind from the right was thankfully quiet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PCOcyt7BPI
and once more at night but without the crosswind and hand flying close to high-rise buildings and surrounded by mountains. Fly an IGS approach to 650 feet and level out knowing that in the dark is a bloody large mountain within 20 seconds of you. Look for the flashing light of the ‘rabbit’ (the only flashing lights allowed in Hong Kong. Follow the curved line of flashing lights through the high rise and look for the approach lights. Two reds and two whites on each side of the runway and you knew you were in the ‘slot’ . Lay off 10-15 degrees into the potential cross wind from the right. SIXTY …. FORTY … Ten … close the thrust levers and begin to round out. Kick in a wee bit of left rudder and line the nose up with the centre line. Lower the into wind wing to compensate for crosswind place the right wheel bogies onto the ground. Feed in some more right aileron and allow the left undercarriage touch the runway. Full right aileron to stop the starboard wing from lifting in the crosswind and lower the nose wheel onto the runway. Reach forward and select full reverse thrust and keep the fuselage straight with rudders as the aircraft slows Cancel Reverse thrust and change hands and grab the wheel steering handle to the right, use just enough braking to slow the aircraft before you reach the end of the runway and turn off the live runway. Ask the crew to clean up the wings lifting the flaps and slats and cancelling the lift dumping speed brakes. Ask ..”whose shout is it at the pub?”… (depends on how smooth the landing was!) 🙂 Taxi to gate given by ground control.
Now do it at night!

Ahhh ya gotta luv Kai Tak airport … arrival… Hell I loved that arrival. Truth be known I’d have done it for free, just to get the buzzzz from flying a Boeing 747 -200 airplane weighing 377 tonnes that close to the ground and high rise at night in shitty weather and with a cross wind. I loved that aircraft type!

@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
when the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
multiple bans from blogs for the same thing over and over again? so, in my opinion, buzz’s schtick is to agitate anyone who even remotely questions israel or jews to the point that the person who is being agitated inevitably says something anti-jew/israel and BAM!!! HA HA!!! Proof of Jew Hating!!! and then the inevitable ‘guilt by association’ accusations.
however, possum fell for it. perhaps he did not realize the schtick, the game that he was getting sucked into.
I didn’t fall for the schtick even after the multiple offensive and ad hominem filled email attack from buzz the other night that were clearly written to get the response that he wanted from me. i remained polite and cordial. frankly, in my opinion, this was conduct unbecoming of and educated adult and a of a lawyer.
as i’ve said, there are bad actors in all races, creeds, and countries, and good actors in all races, creeds, and countries. the schtick only sees black and white, hammers and nails.
yinz may agree or not with this analysis…that’s fine.
i probably should started a ‘game of chicken’ with buzz and possum after the 3rd warning…the next one to start shit gets both banned.
i’ll have a new thread up in a day or two. right now, im gonna vege on that couch right over there —->
yeah, i’m taking a snow day so lazy and staying filled with hot toddies
is a great plan

This is interesting. NASA just unveiled their new X-59 aircraft, built by Lockheed Martin’s Skunkworks. It’s a supersonic test bed that’s supposed to produce no sonic boom that can be felt on the ground. If it works, it could usher in a new era of commercial supersonic aviation, since it would presumably be allowed to fly supersonic over populated areas.
One really interesting feature is the lack of a forward windscreen for the pilot. The only forward view is through a series of cameras:
@ lobo91:
I’m reminded of the scene from the right stuff about the hatch and explosive bolts.
This is good stuff tho!
@ coldwarrior:
I wonder if the pilot has to wear a helmet like the one for the F-35? Those things cost $400,000 each and are custom-fitted to the user. It contains the interface with all the cameras and gives the pilot a 360 degree view, even “through” the plane itself.
@ lobo91:
…no bucks…no buck rodgers….
gonna hafta watch the right stuff….
@ lobo91:
That sounds a bit like something out of a book by Dale Brown. Techno-thriller.
For all its teething problems, the F-35 does incorporate some amazing technology. There are cameras all over the airframe that all link together seamlessly. It’s controlled by the pilot moving his head. If he looks over his left shoulder, he doesn’t see the left wing. He sees what’s below it. Even better, the sensors from individual planes all link together to give all the pilots the same view. They’re also developing armed drones (the “loyal wingman” program) that will link in the same way.
Meanwhile, the FAA has apparently gone completely off the rails with the DEI crap. People with “severe intellectual disabilities” are among their new hiring goals:
I’m reminded of this scene from Idiocracy:
How nice. An email to the blog from I’m guessing a throw away acct stating how much of a nazi and jew hater I am, and odd curses ‘for generations’ against my family.
I suppose this is supposed to get a rise out of me? Yeah, anyway…given my last name and family history, we were prob Jewish back in the day.
Email (s) have been retained off server, and family lawyer aware with full digital info as well as pertinent info.
Nice friends ya got there, buzz.

I cannot express how sad this makes me. To be clear, I don’t know his name, I have never had an email exchange, etc. There is no personal relationship outside various blogs I have encountered him. But this has really set me back.
