Anyone up at 5am PST besides me?

I got up at 11pm to watch our local coverage of the Vegas New Year Party. Very cool fireworks.

Went to bed at 12:30am

Up @ 3am as usual.

I was only ever out on Da Rock for his wedding, and a bit of a visit. It was my first time, and it's beautiful. We drove up through Cape Breton and took the ferry. The ferry crossing was fabulous!! I've never seen so many stars in my life. It was freezing cold (October) and very windy, but I kept going out on deck. I've been to NS a few times.

Korea... it was very cold here and I was warm, so I fell asleep. In Korea the floors are heated, and I sleep on the floor, so...

Korea and Japan are very similar, but different (if that helps. Most people don't know much about Korea.) The Japanese are way more eccentric though, and I love that.

I've become very used to living over here, and booting around Asia ("I'm "Asiafied"), I have significant culture shock when I wisit Canada!!

PS the heated floors are heavenly. No cold feet, and it's very subtle. (I go barefoot most of the winter.)

too you know, I almost put one in when I did my kitchen floor but I was on a budget, that and I'm going to be redoing it again in a couple of years. And yes they are sweet especially with ceramic floors. Hardwood and carpet it's nice but not as needed. Although they are much more common in Asia than the US and Europe, I think because of the lack of firewood in China and such, it was much more efficient in the old days to build a "firebed"(imagine a shallow fireplace built into the ground that you put your sleeping mat on top of) type of heat for at night that to attempt to heat the entire room.

Are yours electric or hot water?

But do you have heated driveways? When I was installing sprinkler systems(irrigation not fire) one of the houses had a heated driveway, this was back in the mid '80s. The driveway cost around 250k at the time but it was brick and friggen enormous. A semi-circle in front of the house with an off shoot going into a dang near small parking lot in front of a 4 car garage. He never had to worry about shoveling snow (but him and everyone else had to worry about the giant ice patch in the street in front of his house).

Edwin's picture

It's a traditional heating style used in Korea. It's called ondol. The original ones were a very clever series of tapered vents under the floor of the house, which spread the heat evenly throughout the house from one small fire outside (not a firebed, I know what you mean there. They did that in Japan.) The ondol also kept the houses cool in the summer, as air circulates under the floor.

These days they are hot water pipes in the floor, from a gas heater, outside, which also serves as a hot water heater. (We turn on the gas heater for hot water here, and turn it off when done; no hot water tanks.)

I know they are everywhere now. The Koreans are very proud they've been doing it for hundreds and hundreds of years. It's the normal system in every house/apt. I highly recommend them.

No one here has a driveway. There's no room. You'd have to be a millionaire to waste that much space! But, Seoul doesn't get too much snow. The city has almost no snow removal equipment.

And a heated driveway seems like a bad idea given climate change; (imo) excessive. I'm trying to cut back, not add new ways to use energy. Plus, I've never owned a car. ;)

I've spent the last decade divesting myself of possessions, and scaling back my lifestyle. I keep it simple: a roof, walls, running/hot water, two meals a day, and I'm good to go. I call my pad "the shoe boX" cuz it's small and wonky, and all I need.

Should the end of the world come several key signs will let people know that it is about to happen. Noteworthy on the list of portents are the seas beginning to boil, the moon turning to blood, and the dead rising from their graves. Climate scientists have documented that ocean temperatures are rising drastically. Though they are nowhere near a boil, the oceans could feasibly be set on fire with all the pollutants now found in them. Tonight’s lunar conditions are exceptionally rare for a new years eve, with a very full and blue moon. Should this suddenly change to red would be atmospherically unpredictable, but an excellent light show to herald in the end of days. A rising of the dead, if taken out of the literal context, could mean many things. Zombies are dominating the landscapes of many comic books right now, and it is possible that Biblical prophets were looking into a comic book store without knowing it. Other interpretations point towards Hugh Hefner, and the “raising” of a man who should be dead. Zombie enthusiasts are eagerly hoping that the dead literally rise from the ground, and soon. The Zombie Survival Society is anxious to put its theories into practice and are already preparing for an attempt to survive a zombie plague.

Most notable in the Christian signs of the Apocalypse is the coming of the Anti Christ. As foretold in the book of Revelations the Anti Christ will come, born of the eternal sea (the world of politics), to bring suffering to the world. But before he can do that Jesus will show up to defend the Christ family name. One book of the Apocrypha, the book of Levi, refers to a one on one fight between the Son of God and the Son of Satan over who will rule in the end of times. Though ancient the book describes what sounds like a boxing match, where the two deities will assume human form and settle their differences with fisticuffs.

Should the Anti Christ win this pugilistic duel, Jesus will take all of his followers directly to heaven leaving the world and all disbelievers in the hands of the Anti Christ. The Anti Christ will then create a One World government to carry out his evil, which contemporary scholars and most of Arkansas agrees would look much like Sweden. The Anti Christ will reign over a world with free health care and legalized prostitution from then on for all time.

...try the 60K dead Americans in Vietnam.
Try the millions of dead in wars past.
No particular reason but like a dog wanting to stake out his territory by pissing on it. And another dog pissing on THAT piss, simply to stake out territory.
But that's a dog's point-of-view.
The 'human' point-of-view is about money and power. Still a pissing contest, but at a different level.
In the dog's world, once you submit, at least things are clear and ALL are ok with the way things are. There are, say in the wolf's world (which we are so so so trying to extinguish), in the wolf's world there is a Mega male and a Mega female. Only THEY are allowed to breed, the rest of the pack is submissive to that.
Yet, that structure ONLY exists IF the rest of the pack agrees to said structure. In a wolf pack - it's kinda natural. If you don't, you might get killed.
In human relations though, we'd like to think of ourselves as 'above' nature, above those 'primitive' conceptions.
But really, are those 'primitive' conceptions so much different than ours??
Sure, when it comes to spiders, say. OOOOH. The Black Widow!!! Well, whereas most spider species, the female will consume the male, if not anything but for food for 'the kids'.
Simply that thought in and by itself roils human males. It creeps them out, mind you, it creeps most females out as well.

I have to stop - I have way more thoughts on this subject, but here is not the place and/or time.

Let's hope in 2010, Blackwater's thugs will actually be held accountable for war crimes, and not acquited on a bullshit technicality. Remember when "tough-on-crime" conservatives used to bitch if a rapist or murderer got off on that shit? I guess the perp has to be black or brown for them to be in the witch-hunting mood. Otherwise, we're being "unpatriotic". Colorado's residents won't have a happy new year, as their minimum wage will actually decline in value. The only way our economy can truly recover nextt year is if we're getting hired. The commanders on the ground certainly do a heckuva job protecting us from terrorists. Hopefully, for Mexico, the third century will be the charm. Fuck do I hate L.A.

i'll try it now... still curious…
is this another gift from bushco? which DOJ?

Judge throws out Blackwater manslaughter charges
Dan Margolies and Jim Wolf
WASHINGTON
Thu Dec 31, 2009 7:54pm EST

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A federal judge threw out all charges on Thursday against five Blackwater Worldwide security guards accused of killing 14 Iraqi civilians in 2007, saying the U.S. government had recklessly violated the defendants’ constitutional rights.

U.S.

U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina said prosecutors had wrongly used statements the guards made to State Department investigators under a threat of job loss.

The five guards were charged a year ago with 14 counts of manslaughter, 20 counts of attempt to commit manslaughter and one weapons violation count over a Baghdad shooting that outraged Iraqis and strained ties between the two countries.
[...]
The government had argued that whatever knowledge prosecutors and investigators may have had of the defendants’ compelled statements, they had made no use of them.

But Urbina found the compelled statements pervaded nearly every aspect of the government’s investigation and prosecution, and the government’s use of those statements “appears to have played a critical role” in each indictment.

“Accordingly,” he wrote, “the court declines to excuse the government’s reckless violation of the defendants’ constitutional rights as harmless error.”

Urbina said prosecutors and investigators, in their zeal to bring charges, had repeatedly disregarded warnings of experienced, senior prosecutors that their course of action threatened the prosecution’s viability.

The DOJ prosecutors set this case up to fail just like the case against Ted Stevens. There was simply no reason to break the rules other than to purposely give the defendants an airtight prosecutorial misconduct defense.

They didn't need to look at possibly privileged statements and knew, without much doubt, that doing so would set the defendants free - which is the only reasonable objective for that conduct.

DOJ took another dive.

Thank you C&L for a site where I can share my thoughts without getting slammed. Thanks to the posters who mostly keep it fun, informed, and enjoyable.

Thanks for the end of 2009 in which the city took my business away and forced us into near poverty. Here's to 2010 when I can once again hope our President will do the right thing, and forget about all the reneged on promises of 2009. Where new business prospects pan out and may our President come to his senses and pull us out of the middle east, prosecute Bush, Cheney et al. close Gitmo, and enact some policies that are Actually Good For The People Of The United States (please, if he needs any advice on how to jump start the economy I'm always available).

Here's to a fine, prosperous, healthy New Year for all.

Tax the Rich's picture

Here's to John Amato for creating a place where reality based thinkers can get away from the daily grind and corporate fascist bullshit that has overwhemled our society.

I think this site has kept my blood pressure down, and my sanity (though taxed by conservatives) still in place. You can learn more from the posts at C & L in one day, than you could by watching the MSM for an entire year.

Hopefully, 2010 will be the year where the 2nd phase of the reolt kicks in: where republicans (bluedogs) are purged from the democratic party - and kicked to the curb; thus eliminating conservatards of all and any stripe.

Anyhow, Happy New Year everyone, and may Rahm Emmanuel accidently be jettisoned from Air Force 1 at 30,000 feet! Just kidding about that jettison thing, but I really cannot stand that guy.

Alice X - Chomsky Nader's picture

Digby links to Wiki which is not always a good idea, given that it is open source.

Better to link to Chomsky himself.

At Chomsky dot info is this essay which is his quintessential answer to the false (but persistent) propaganda dichotomy of the twentieth (and later) century.

The Soviet Union Versus Socialism

Chomsky refers to Libertarian socialism as a descriptor.

But the Randians have given the term Libertarian a very bad flavor.

Another term for Libertarian socialism is anarchism but that term has taken on another meaning too so the language is ruined.

In doing the google I even come to a National Social Libertarian Green Party or Nazi Party. A swastika on a green backgroud which goes to show how far the forces than want to confuse the issues will go, or how far the confusion that they wreck will reach.

So if ones' thing is mindless titles without suitably long essays of meaning, then one is bound to be thoroughly confused.

Chomsky, Notes on Anarchism here

Liberty for the individual. But what does the individual do with that liberty, serve the interest of oneself in some careful balance with the interest of humanity *and life on earth) or serve the interest of oneself only?

..and read about Amsterdam not using the scanners due to privacy issues. I just want to comment as someone who travels to Amsterdam, France and other points, I thought they did a good job of screening especially in France (Nice) where the dogs sniffed as you get on the plane, that PRIVACY is not as big a concern as they need to make it out to be. Anyone who gets on a plane with 200 other strangers for six or more hours is not a private affair any longer considering the consequences of just one of those strangers wanting to blow the plane up. Thanx for the link.

What is your conceptual, continuity?

katy's picture

When airport security allows a scruffy guy with a one way ticket, no luggage, and no passport to board a plane to the USA, something’s not right.

The Haskells were coming home from a safari vacation in Uganda and were on layover in Amsterdam on Christmas. While sitting on the floor waiting to board, Mr. Haskell said he noticed something unusual.
An Indian man who “looked wealthy and was dressed in a nice suit” approached the ticket counter with a young man.
“They looked like an odd couple because the Indian man was dressed so nice and the person, who I thought was a teen, was a scraggly dressed black guy,” Mr. Haskell said. “… The Indian man said he needed to get (the Nigerian man) on the plane, but he had no passport.”
Mr. Haskell, 38, said the Indian man told the woman at the ticket counter that “the man was from Sudan and that it was typical (to let him on the plane without a passport).”
The young man was sent down the hall to talk with a manager. A few minutes later, passengers boarded the plane bound for Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

“People were yelling ‘terrorist’ and ‘fire’,” Mr. Haskell said. “The flight attendants, who are usually calm, were screaming, and it was scary.”
That was when Mr. Haskell noticed the man who started the fire was the same man who he saw at the Amsterdam ticket counter.

http://www.monroenews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...

Who was this well dressed Indian gentleman? Who was the security manager? Why isn’t this story on television news?

Also of interest: An Israeli firm is in charge of security at Schiphol Amsterdam airport. Aren’t the Israelis supposed to be super strict about things? Something’s very fishy about this.

..Happy New Year..
My New Year's resolution is to keep talking about how the current administration MUST take the former administration to task for their war crimes. Crime & Punishment, Law & Order, we are a nation of laws not just of men. Crimes committed should be punished. The current administration is getting a huge pass on this by the electorate but it must stop and the mechanisms to bring these criminals to justice must be engaged, sooner rather than later. It may bring an end to explosive underwear attacks on our civilians in airplanes, maybe not, but it would be a good first step in the right direction. Without this engagement, a second term for the current President will not be a guarantee.
