    M’chelle got a hold on the conference somehow. At one point during the conference, there’s usually snacks or hors d’oeuvres in the exhibit hall, to entice you to go in and talk to the booth babes hunks people. Veggie tray with dip, fruit bowl, cheese and crackers, little quiches, that sort of thing. They had sliders last year that were really good. This year? Little square glasses, filled halfway with what looked like ranch dressing and asparagus. I don’t eat asparagus, so I don’t know if it was raw, cooked, hot, cold or what, but it looked rather sad, this whole little forest of asparagus standing up in ranch dressing. I think two people ate one.

    Okay Rosetta, I just ordered your movie. I’ve seen snippets on you tube but never watched the whole thing. Your credibility as a movie reviewer is riding on this. ($5.00 DVD on amazon)

    In related news – my new asparagus patch is really doing well this year. I just planted it so I can’t pick for a year or two. But those babies are SPREADING.

    I tried planting asparagus and it didn’t do well. I thought it would take off like the rhubarb, sunchokes and horseradish near it but no luck. I’ll buy it at the store for now.

    Bird flu – lots of chickens in Iowa have been destroyed (millions) mostly in the northwest corner of the state. they are worried about where to put all of them.

    This is after California determined that all chickens needed more space, which increased prices earlier. Yeah, eggs are way up here too.

  12. Comment by Car in on June 24, 2015 8:13 am

    My eggs aren’t going way up. I imagine /hope feed will get cheaper because of the weaker need.

    At this point, I will sit back and wait for leon’s input…

    Laura’s right about the chef, deal with it. His habits are grotesque for a commercial kitchen. If my mom or wife did that making me dinner, fine, but this is a guy I’m paying to cook and I don’t know him from Adam.

    That said, hygiene culture has gotten more than a little out of hand, but it’s a consequence of the unnatural density of urban living and the Vibrant Multiculturalism we’ve had forced upon us by our Bettters.

    My eggs have gotten pricier, but only because my birds are 3 years old now and laying sporadically.

    I will add to the discussion from yesterday (I was out of bandwidth and was forced to read a book for entertainment) – while it is super gross what that chef did in a restaurant the food safety standards etc are ridiculous. They make them so undo-able – it’s really become a farce. The health code folks KNOW it’s impossible to do all they require and when they show up they linger in the bar for about 20 minutes so we can change things in the kitchen to the STUPID level of code.

    They then come and check the freezer temps and food storage stuff which make SENSE and are able to see that we’ve got the stupid compliance things in order so they don’t have to write us up for things that don’t really matter.

    The pizza place I work at has been open for 30 years. Recently, we had to get hand washing sinks installed. OK, fine. There is one at the end of the counter, under the rolling (making pizza the right size) counter. But no, that’s not good enough, now it has to be out in the open. You can’t kneel to wash your hands, after all (this has been here for 30 years, mind you, the kitchen doesn’t get any bigger).

    Plus in the prep area, there is a sink already. it’s used for dishwashing most of the time, but sometimes for food prep. This is ok. But now? We have to have ANOTHER sink installed, because that one isn’t good enough, accesible enough, etc. Why? 30 years, people. No one has gotten sick here, no lawsuits, nothing. Just busybody bureaucrats deciding what needs to be installed.

  23. Comment by Car in on June 24, 2015 9:07 am

    I think I”m pretty much with Wiser on this whole absurd level of cleanliness consciousness.

    If you want your kids to develop healthy immune systems let them play in the dirt and eat a cherrio that has fallen on the floor. All that wiping with sanitizer every surface they touch? It’s harming them.

    We have alcohol gel sanitizers in each room and outside the doors to them. I can’t tell you the number of times I gel and wash my hands during the day. Sometimes after touching a patient I immediately head to the sink to wash my hands rather than gelling. Stinky feet in teenagers are the worst. When the kids are clean with new socks on I always compliment them.

    I get why doctors, nurses, and medical personnel have such rules, and I think that isn’t what wiser is talking about.

    Moms that wipe their kids down with Purel after they step foot outside is probably the point he is arguing. Yes, my sisters in law (plural) are like that. A little dirt won’t hurt. I’ve noticed this is a male/female difference, at least in my family.

    Nine of us went out to dinner last night at a nice restaurant. (Actually the place HotBride and I had our first date. So it has a special place in my heart.)

    Now mind you, it’s Restaurant Week in Ann Arbor, but the Wine Bar side of this joint was empty.

    Anyway, we sat there for twenty minutes, and were only served menus and water.

    Several times we asked where our waiter was, and were told they would be right with us.

    We walked out of the fucking place.

    I am pretty much a germaphobe, so I get it. The gloves make sense depending on where you work, like a toll booth for example. If you want to grab a quick bite you take a glove off, much easier than running across 4 lanes of traffic to wash your filthy hands.

    Awesome:

    http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/23/politics/hostage-policy-review-changes-white-house/

    Executive order – it’s now ok to negotiate with terrorists who’ve kidnapped Americans.

    Then there’s this little bit:

    “And after criticism from families that certain officials displayed a lack of compassion, administration officials will also be instructed to “be empathetic, patient, and able to handle the expression of intense emotions” and that they “should be able to deliver the difficult news with clarity and honesty,” according to a policy document set to be released Wednesday.

    Other changes expected in Wednesday’s announcement include the formation of a “Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell,” which officials described as a full-time, inter-agency body with the goal of coordinating the U.S. government’s response to hostage-takings. It will include the appointment of a director responsible for overseeing hostage recovery strategies.”

  47. Comment by leoncaruthers on June 24, 2015 11:35 am

    There exists not 1 historic vegan culture throughout all of recorded history. If it really were the optimal way to use land and feed humans, there’d be at least one. Plants are much easier to manage than livestock, so it only goes to reason that someone somewhere would have succeeded at this if it were worth doing. I read an MIT analysis of the plausibility of a Martial colony, including them eating a vegan diet. Besides the fact that they’d die for lack of replacement parts for everything that would eventually break on Mars, they’d also die of oxygen poisoning. If it can’t work small, it can’t work large, qed.

    This point is entirely lost on these deranged, feebleminded weenies.

  49. Comment by Car in on June 24, 2015 11:37 am

  51. Comment by leoncaruthers on June 24, 2015 11:42 am

    Every – EVERY – fitness-related video or channel has vegans in the comments section, and there are a few actual vegan channels who exist solely by insulting other (read: popular) channels and parasiting on their fame by mentioning them and getting the YouTube SEO to recommend them to viewers of the good channels.

    There’s a very popular guy named Furious Pete, for instance, who contracted testicular cancer a few years ago in his mid-20s. One of the vegan douchenozzles got SEO to recommend him again and again by mentioning Pete in his vid titles and saying the cancer was due to eating meat. Same ‘tard also accosted a sponsored athlete at a convention (where the athlete is working at his sponsor’s booth) and basically tried to provoke a fight on camera. When the mature, calm guy getting paid for his time didn’t rise to the taunts, ‘tard claims victory and says meat eaters are pussies. And the YouTube SEO recommends him because he mentions the popular guy in title and video “about”.

    They are a cancer.

    ERin is a really good soccer player and fast – but playing with the boy’s travel team you could see where the male advantage kicks in. SHe was certainly a great threat but speed-wise? Among girls she is rarely caught – but with boys it was a different story. It was good for her and she was an asset to the team (only because she’s so good). But there is a vast difference – at equal levels – between boy and girl teams. Once puberty hits.

  66. Comment by leoncaruthers on June 24, 2015 12:19 pm

    Agreed, about the only one I can think of with real parity might be cycling, and I suspect even then that the men have the advantage due to fuel partitioning. There’s nothing in our bodies saying “you gotta keep this fat or you can’t have a baby” so I’d guess we can burn longer and harder on average.

    From what I know the only thing women outperform men at is endurance. Since even endurance competitions usually involve speed that doesn’t matter. One of the very competitive athletes in the ultra marathons is (or was) a woman. I don’t believe they have male and female catagories.

    Hah! Carin, I just bought some comfrey the other day. Bocking 14. This cultivar is the non-obnoxious sterile one that doesn’t go around killing your other gardens by spreading seed.

    Leon, you should also look around and see if there are any lamb’s quarters growing wild around your property. It is a common weed and know to be very nutritious. I have a huge one growing in my pea patch. I just steamed some tender shoots of it this morning and it is quite delicious. I feel like a big dummy for pulling out so many as weeds earlier in the season.

    Hakurei turnips are done at about 2″ diameter, they don’t all mature in the same row at once, so you can pick them over time, and they hold well in the ground in Fall. They also make a nice head of tender turnip greens. They don’t bolt too fast. And if you let a couple of the spring ones go to seed, they will produce lots of little volunteers in the future. Or you can bag the seed yourself.

    Scott is fine. This last incision has taken a long time to close up right but it’s almost done. I checked it last night. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was watertight again tonight or tomorrow.

    I cleaned the cage last night and gave him fresh water and a nice soup bone to chew on.

    Back to normal.

    Just checked on my reishi in the closet and a stalk had burst through the air vent. I trimmed it back to the plug and I’m making tea now with the trimmings and a tiny splash of gin to extract the alcohol-soluble compounds.

    I really hope I don’t trip ballz on this stuff.

    Mare, I bought an indoor reishi mushroom kit. It’s sitting in my closet growing right now. One of the stalks pushed through the little air vent, so I snipped it off and diced it really fine. I’m now simmering it in a small pot on the stove in water and few drops of gin to pull out all the medicinal/adaptogenic compounds into the liquid, which I will then attempt to drink.

    The rest of the kit is basically supposed to stay in the closet until all of the nutrient base is exhausted, then I dry the mushrooms in there for future use. I’ll probably try to use at least some of the caps to spawn more.

    better than the animating contest of freedom,
    go home from us in peace.
    We ask not your counsels or your arms.
    Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
    May your chains set lightly upon you,
    and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

    I have a good slope to my property/ garden and need to learn more about swales, and managing swale plumes. I think I’ve kind of been unwittingly using them just by digging raised beds against the slope, but they weren’t in the right place to really reduce much of my watering needs in the front, dry area of the garden. And since I de-contoured my garden, they are *definitely* not in the right place.

  216. Comment by lauraw on June 24, 2015 11:08 pm

  217. Comment by leoncaruthers on June 24, 2015 11:09 pm

    Hugelkultur mounds. Gives the same windbreak as swale but you can plant in it and it holds water like a sponge.

    Mine are prolific thus far. Mustard and peppers are growing worthily. My seed-started peppers in the mounds have caught up to the greenhouse-bought ones in the regular soil already.

  218. Comment by leoncaruthers on June 24, 2015 11:11 pm

    They are a LOT of initial work, though. There’s a reason I gave up after making 3 of them and just tilled the rest of the garden. I figure if I do a few more every year I’ll eventually have an all-mound garden.

    Worth it, Leon. Like you said, it’s hard but you can just chip away at it over time as you can manage it. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

    My ground-level plants are still just sitting there, while the same home-raised stock planted in raised beds or pots are mad growing and thriving. No comparison. I used to do *all* deeply raised beds but figured I’d go back to the old way this season. Never again. Nyoop.

    We’ve got a dozen, or so “Legend” determinate tomato plants.
    The idea being that they will all ripen at once and we will run them through the mill and can a bunch of ‘Garlic Basil tomato sauce’.
    We have never done it before and so will probably fail.

    All of my direct-sow “big seed” plants are doing pretty well in the dirt. Squashes and cukes, mainly. The potato plants are enormous, but I haven’t poked around in the hugeltrough to see if there are any tubers forming.

  223. Comment by ChrisP on June 24, 2015 11:30 pm

    Leon,
    As the foliage forms, are you not supposed to pile dirt up around it to get more tubers under the dirt?

  224. Comment by lauraw on June 24, 2015 11:32 pm

    I tentatively cracked into my spuds too early, but to be fair, a few plants had indeed flowered. I got four teensy spuds. Not worth the potential for damaging the roots. I hope the patch will all flower together soon. I fed them today with some compost tea and organic fertilizer as an apology for cradle robbing.

  225. Comment by PepeLp on June 24, 2015 11:43 pm

    I have a friend who does a lot of gardening. She keeps adding dirt to the potato plants. They just grow up through it and make more potatoes.

    I’ve heard some claim both yes and no on that score. I had about 4″ of straw over them when I started, and kept adding straw as I had it available and the plants grew. We’ll see in the fall if the tubers formed there or down in the dirt.

    Start low on the wall if you do (belly toward wall) and walk your way higher. Wear socks or you’ll leave footprints.

    Or don’t. I have a lot of shoulder muscle and it’s little effort for me. There’s a sort of inverted, slow shrug you can do where you rotate your scapulae using traps and rhomboids that really helped the sore bits.

    Oh we do all sorts of handstands etc at zumba like that. I honestly just think it’s a tad too much for my shoulder at this point. I’m actually kick ass at handstands normally but I was a gymnast. I can out-hold a handstand (normally) – beating just about everyone. It’s actually pretty effortless.

  268. Comment by leoncaruthers on June 25, 2015 9:35 am

    Okay, he basically says any soap at all is fine, the important thing is to scrub anywhere that might have been exposed with soap and a washcloth or loofah, as many as 3 separate times. The important thing is the quantity of friction and scrubbing all the urishiol (poison ivy oil) off.

  269. Comment by leoncaruthers on June 25, 2015 9:37 am

    I would think you could do wallstands, but you’re the better judge of what you can handle. The scapula shrugs can be done with weight, too, and you might try inverse while hanging.

    At workouts, it was suggested that rotator cuffs need exercise. Hold your arm down while sitting, and holding a weight. Raise just your lower arm to a 90 degree angle, with the weight. Now just rotate your hand outward, and back in. Probably good for healthy rotator cuffs.

    Which is that gay couples are entitled to every benefit from the government that male/female couples have. But marriage isn’t a government function, and that isn’t one of their “rights”. If they don’t like their church’s position on marriage, pick a different church.

    Well put.

  283. Comment by wiserbud on June 25, 2015 10:50 am

    The worst part of this ruling is that Roberts makes an argument that flies directly in the face of the intent of the people who wrote the law.

    They were trying to bribe states to create exchanges with the subsidies. The fact that the majority did not does not change that intent. Roberts basically just said “Intent doesn’t matter, the actual words don’t matter, it’s the outcome that matters. So I will change the meaning of the law to protect this law.”

    Fucking douchebag.

  286. Comment by wiserbud on June 25, 2015 10:54 am

    There seems to be no argument that would sway Roberts away from his complete and total support of this law.

    I honestly do not see how it could be any clearer than it was in this case.

    It’s not LIB, it’s more like IWBA: it will burn anyway. The culture will have to upend itself before the politics can correct themselves.
    —
    True, so attempting to stop it is actually counter-productive, don’t you think?

    I tend to think culture precedes politics, so the question becomes who can change culture? That’s a really hard one. Culture is beyond any single group’s control. Certainly you don’t want to cut off your nose to spite your face. You wouldn’t raise your kids to be cutting edge SJWs, and that decision is a cultural one on a small scale. You steer your kids in the better cultural direction. Looking at the broad direction of culture, there’s little to do other than withdraw. Tending one’s own garden seems to be the order of the day. No gardening puns intended.

    Noted faggot hypocrite Tim Cook continues his censorship.

    Apple has removed a whole swathe of historical war games from the App Store because they feature the Confederate flag.

    I wonder* if he will ban any games in the App Store that have Nazi, Soviet or Nork flags.

    It’s awful for the country and the rule of law (and the disparate impact ruling is arguably even worse). But electorally, they have a point. Every lib and the MSM would have beaten us mercilessly showing some poor waif denied subsidies for every single minute of every single day until the election.

    I also promise even if there were to be a Republican as preezy in 2016, and we retained both chambers, Obamacare would remain firmly in place. Both parties want it so.

  353. Comment by George Orwell on June 25, 2015 1:51 pm

    Which is why there is no point supporting the Republican Party. As soon as someone’s special goodies from the public purse are threatened, the Rs retreat like rabbits hearing buckshot. Because there’s always a sob story somewhere and let’s be nice.

    At this point politics are less substantial than ball scores. The juggernaut keeps rolling in one direction only.

  354. Comment by George Orwell on June 25, 2015 1:55 pm

    Shorter xbrad (I agree with him): Today the electorate demands the gravy train never stop, and the idea that there could be limits to free shit is racist or something. Don’t expect politicians to oppose the will of the electorate.

    I don’t mean to pick on this guy from Red State but this is emblematic of our impotent politics and political outlook. Regarding the author’s idea that the King v Burwell decision gives Jindal in particular an advantage:

    Jindal is not the only one, but he is certainly ahead of the pack when it comes to policy. The Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% strategy of fighting to defund is a good starting point for him, but like Jindal, he would need to come up with a plan of his own (and not just use someone else’s) to replace Obamacare with. Democrats will scoff at the idea, but it remains deeply unpopular throughout the nation, and to take advantage right now is a great way to stand out and get that valuable name recognition you need to be a top contender in the race.

    See what’s important? Not eliminating Hellcare, but getting Our Guy to be in charge of “replacing” it. We’ll run gubmint healthcare Our Way, not get the gubmint out of it. And this fellow coughs up the old chestnut that “everyone hates Obamacare.” That must be why Republicans are so afraid to repeal it. That must be why it is politically impossible to oppose or reduce it. Because so many voters hate it. Just like they hate Congress but mostly keep reelecting the same Congresscreeps.

    Democrats scoff at Republicans because they know they will never meaningfully alter the leftward course of the nation. That won’t stop the Rs from lying to their voters about their intentions. Democrats get a chuckle out of that too.

    Seriously, that’s the only way this doesn’t end in complete disaster.

    We get radical life-extension/morbidity compression at roughly the same time as food production and distribution is completely mechanized and oh at about the same time we figure out fusion or really clean fission.

    All of that has to happen basically all at once for the nation to not collapse under the weight of its parasite class.

  363. Comment by George Orwell on June 25, 2015 2:42 pm

    Now Republicans get the added benefit of railing against a law that remains unpopular and that drives health insurance costs ever higher across the country without having to put their legislation where their mouths are.

    Um, does Ben think its unpopularity demands LESS money from Uncle Sugar or more, given our electorate? Does he really think people want less gubmint instead of moar cheeper stuff like they epwere promised?

    Also, if the political benefit is Rs need not open their mouths or do anything, that is tantamount to saying they are useless eunuchs.
