Hey everybody.
Sorry I haven’t been on much been busy
A) Getting my butt kicked by the computer in Warcraft 3 on hard.
B) Figuring out what I did wrong.
C) Kicking the computers ass on hard in Warcraft 3.
The good news is I just managed to beat the final mission of Reign of Chaos on hard, the bad news is that I had to set the game on slow to pull it off… so clearly I may have to replay it again soonish on normal speed then on my normal fast as I’ve doubtlessly found a winning strategy now I just need to fine tune my microing skills!

Gibson’s started making them where they ‘chamber’ the bodies by routing a lot of the weight out of them.
I had a ‘54 Les Paul Gold Top for a week when I was a kid. I had to trade it away because it nearly weighed more than I did. I traded it for a ‘65 Strat, brand new at the time.
I don’t think I could afford to buy either one nowadays.

Shhh… don’t tell everyone it was in the 70’s today and not a cloud in the sky… like it was yesterday… and the day before… and…
For me, as I get older, I really need to be somewhere that is not too cold and where I won’t have to deal with ice. It’s a challenge for me to keep my balance on ice and I don’t want to fall. Oh, I’m quite mobile (and I went for a 90 minute walk today) but my balance isn’t very good (or, rather technically, my foot mechanics). So yes, for me living somewhere with very mild winters is a requirement. Alas, that is true of many people, and that is why the southern tier of states grew so much greatly in population, and why real estate prices have risen so much in the SW.

Hubby is back in his computer room. I’ve handled a few clumps—cutest thing so far was a baby lion being carried in his mommy’s arms.
The young Muslim couple across the way does not seem to be celebrating the holiday—kids aren’t in costume—but once they got the idea that this is a holiday in which the neighbors give candy to children they got in the swing of things, so I got them taken care of. (OK, I waved wildly and indicated that I had chocolate.) I’m not sure where they’re from, subcontinent somewhere I think.
I have to say that as I was loading them up with miniature chocolate bars, all I could think of was that jerk in Texas who says he doesn’t have to teach Muslims to shoot. Bet he doesn’t give them Halloween candy either.

Have now had a gaggle of witches, a beautiful little princess, Little Red Riding Hood, a skeleton, and a couple of litle boys with no costumes, but bags for candy.
My favorites so far were two lovely little girls in fancy shalwar-kameez. Very Bollywood, with jewels and scarves. I think this may also be what they wear to family weddings, but it looked very swank. I told them how glamorous they were.

While my wife was out earlier this afternoon, the kids were hitting my house in waves and I was afraid I was going to run out of candy. I sent a frantic text message to my wife, and when she got home she had 3 bags of candy bars.
And true to form, we didn’t get another trick-or-treater past that point. We have a large bowl of candy bars left over. Anybody want one?

One of my college BFFs has a small nephew. He goes to Kindergym. His grandma keeps trying to get auntie, now that she is off work on disability, to come to Kindergym too.
My friend said, “Mom, you go every time. His mom goes every time. His dad goes, unless he has to work that morning. Four adults is too many to accompany one toddler to Kindergym. THREE is too many.”

Crying when she said trick or treat, crying while she picked out her candy and crying when she said “thank you.” I hope she had a better night.

The princess who came by earlier had a little tiara with a central jewel that flashed—street safety and glamour in one. She also had braids in her hair with pink beads, to match her dress and crown. So. Damn. Cute.

re: #40 makeitstop
Gibson’s started making them where they ‘chamber’ the bodies by routing a lot of the weight out of them.
I had a ‘54 Les Paul Gold Top for a week when I was a kid. I had to trade it away because it nearly weighed more than I did. I traded it for a ‘65 Strat, brand new at the time.
I don’t think I could afford to buy either one nowadays.
The chambered Tele’s have a remarkable tone.

Things have definitely gotten easier as far as handling heavy guitars, mostly due to wide straps. If I had had a 3 inch wide leather strap on that ‘54 Gold Top, I’d probably still have it. But back in ‘65, guitar straps looked like belts and all that weight was concentrated on a 3/4 inch piece of leather.
I’ve got a couple of Ibanez Artist guitars from 1980 that each weigh around 9-10 pounds - but they were built to balance so well that the weight isn’t even an issue. I can play them all night without a problem.

This is based on a possibly true story. Legend has it that the brothel owner called the cops, but since the cops in SF at the time were…you guessed it…Irish, the patrolman simply asked the priests for their blessing, and hustled the outraged property owner off to lockup for being disorderly.

It’s just not so long ago. I realize that when Donaldina Cameron (how’s that for a nice steampunky name?) “Chinatown’s Avenging Angel”, started pulling girls out of the San Francisco brothels, it was thirty years before my grandmother was born. When Grandma was born, women had had the vote for four years.

I thought the cops didn’t even go into the ChinaTown in SF of old. pretty much leave China Town alone unless it affected the rest of the City (white people)?
I don’t think they patrolled there, although I don’t know that for sure, but a patrolman might well have responded to the fire, and been collared by an outraged pimp watching his building burn, and his girls being shooed across the street by Irishmen in cassocks.

It’s just not so long ago. I realize that when Donaldina Cameron (how’s that for a nice steampunky name?) “Chinatown’s Avenging Angel”, started pulling girls out of the San Francisco brothels, it was thirty years before my grandmother was born. When Grandma was born, women had had the vote for four years.
I read novels from the years that my mother was a child and young woman, and it’s still like another world, the lack of freedom women had.

Oh man! Those are beautiful. What’s up with the sunburst’s electronics?
That one is the AR-1000 - the top of the Artist line circa 1980. It has a factory-installed EQ/preamp (the three black knobs), coil tap/phase switches (the black mini-switches) and an active boost control. That guitar can sound like anything - Strat, Tele, Les Paul, you name it.
It took 5 years of beggin to get a friend of mine to sell it to me. I used it to record an album and was completely hooked.
The Tobacco one is the other end of the Artist line, the AR-100. Still a very well-made guitar, with no bells or whistles. They both compare very favorably with my Gibson Les Pauls.

Late-19th Century European women and the opportunity for reproductive freedom as well.
“In 1838, German gynecologist Friedrich Wilde created the first modern cervical cap by making custom-made rubber molds of the cervix for some of his patients.[8] These caps were probably short-lived, as uncured rubber degrades fairly quickly. An important precursor to the invention of more lasting caps was the rubber vulcanization process, patented by Charles Goodyear in 1844. An occlusive pessary marketed in the United States as the “womb veil” seems to have been an early form of diaphragm or cervical cap.[9]”
&
The idea of blocking the cervix to prevent pregnancy is thousands of years old. Various cultures have used cervix-shaped devices such as oiled paper cones or lemon halves, or have made sticky mixtures that include honey or cedar rosin to be applied to the cervical opening.[33] However, the diaphragm - which stays in place because of the spring in its rim, rather than hooking over the cervix or being sticky - is of much more recent origin.
An important precursor to the invention of the diaphragm was the rubber vulcanization process, patented by Charles Goodyear in 1844. In the 1880s, a German gynecologist C. Haase published the first description of a rubber contraceptive device with a spring molded into the rim. Haase wrote under the pseudonym Wilhelm P.J. Mensinga, and the Mensinga diaphragm was the only brand available for many decades.[34] In the United States, the physician Edward Bliss Foote designed and sold an early form of occlusive pessary under the name “womb veil” starting in the 1860s.[35]
American birth control activist Margaret Sanger fled to Europe in 1914 to escape prosecution under the Comstock laws, which prohibited sending contraceptive devices, or information about contraception, through the mail. Sanger learned about the diaphragm in the Netherlands and introduced the product to the United States when she returned in 1916. Sanger and her second husband, Noah Slee, illegally imported large quantities of the devices from Germany and the Netherlands. In 1925, Slee provided funding to Sanger’s friend Herbert Simonds, who used the funds to found the first diaphragm manufacturing company in the U.S., the Holland-Rantos Company.[33][36]
Diaphragms played a role in overturning the federal Comstock Act. In 1932, Sanger arranged for a Japanese manufacturer to mail a package of diaphragms to a New York physician who supported Sanger’s activism. U.S. customs confiscated the package, and Sanger helped file a lawsuit. In 1936, in the court case United States v. One Package of Japanese Pessaries, a federal appellate court ruled that the package could be delivered.[33]
Although in Europe, the cervical cap was more popular than the diaphragm, the diaphragm became one of the most widely used contraceptives in the United States. In 1940, one-third of all U.S. married couples used a diaphragm for contraception. The number of women using diaphragms dropped dramatically after the 1960s introduction of the IUD and the combined oral contraceptive pill. In 1965, only 10% of U.S. married couples used a diaphragm for contraception.[34] That number has continued to fall, and in 2002 only 0.2% of American women were using a diaphragm as their primary method of contraception.[37] Diaphragms, both the Ortho brand and Reflexions, and the spermicidal gel used with them, can be purchased online. There is an e-mail community of users, where resources may be found, as well as tips on making one’s own homemade spermicide, to be used with a barrier method

Challenge accepted.
Standing at nearly 6 feet tall and weighing 180 pounds, Carry Amelia Moore Nation, Carrie Nation, as she came to be known, cut an imposing figure. Wielding a hatchet, she was downright frightful. In 1900, the target of Nation’s wrath was alcoholic drink. Nation, who described herself as “a bulldog running along at the feet of Jesus, barking at what he doesn’t like,” felt divinely ordained to forcefully promote temperance. A brief marriage to an alcoholic in the late 1800’s fueled Nation’s disdain for alcohol. Kiowa, Kansas was the setting of Nation’s first outburst of destruction in the name of temperance in 1900. Between 1900 and 1910 she was arrested some 30 times after leading her followers in the destruction of one water hole after another with cries of “Smash, ladies, smash!” Prize-fighter John L. Sullivan was reported to have run and hid when Nation burst into his New York City saloon. Self-righteous and formidable, Nation mocked her opponents as “rum-soaked, whiskey-swilled, saturn-faced rummies.”
While Carrie Nation was certainly among their most colorful members, the members of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, founded in 1874, left more in their wake than strewn glass. Once the largest women’s organization in the country, the WCTU concerned itself with issues ranging from health and hygiene, prison reform, and world peace.
