Well, the solar flare has erupted, and we are both cursed and blessed by the event:
Airlines have rerouted flights, NASA had some safety calculations to do, and satellite owners/operators chewed a few nails. But it’s scenes like this that make me wish I had a ticket to the northern climes.
Here’s a video of a similar event, from space.
I tried to include video from the International Space Station, but for some reason it wouldn’t let me embed the code or even copy the link. So you’ll have to search for it on your own. The astronaut narrating their feed had some interesting information regarding the colors and structure of the aurora, but that’s life, I suppose.
Enjoy the video.
Who are they trying to fool. Everybody knows that the aurora is really nothing more than our magnificent and beloved dear leader expressing his generosity by sharing his halo with the rest of the planet.
One of the reasons I like belonging to that hammock camping group is the fact that many of the members are talented amatuer videographers. This morning, I took a nice little trip to Mt. Rogers in Grayson Highlands State Park in Marion, Va.
Enjoy.
Its amazing that these days, for a couple hundred dollars, people with talent have access to tools that allow them to do what only professionals working for motion picture companies could do just a decade or so ago.
#1 EG: Careful there fatman, I almost lost my breakfast.
FOX did a pretty good montage of JugEars contradicting himself in the same speech. I think it would make a great commercial.
I would like to wish Ms. Harper a very Happy Birfday. I hope that your day is extra special, shuuuug. My gift to you is to not sing. Trust me. It’s a great gift! (((HUGS)))
Have a wonderful day to all! I lubs and miss y’all. BTW: Cowboy and I *Facebook* each other, not hang out a Shakey’s place. I haven’t been over there since I told EPJ to…….to….WISS.
For those who are interested, Byron York gives a thorough and fair report on the Gingrich Ethics case here. Keep in mind that York has previously written pieces critical of Gingrich and cannot be considered a supporter in any sense of the word.
York later interviewed Jones.
Lets keep in mind here that this trenchant evaluation of Gingrich’s achievements was being made by a guyy who is most famous for playing “Cooter” on the Dukes of Hazard.
HAPPY B-DAY M42 AND MAY YOU HAVE AT LEAST 100 MORE :>)
Howdy ST: Glad to see you a little more here on the couch.
I think I have discovered why actors are usually so wissin liberal. The fact of the matter is that they have no moorings, no foundations and they spend their entire careers pretending to be something which they are not. Because they work so diligently at deception (acting is deception by definition) they usually fall for the deception of socialism/collectivism. A liar gets a spirit of lying on them and therefore they are prone to believe lies and reject the truth.
Happy Birthday mharp.
(cue ditzy valley girl voice) We can, like sooooo trust what Nanzi says, I mean, like, yaknow?
OK, so please tell us why.
Isn’t she so gracious, she is going to allow the Rs to pick whomever they wish. What is it that she “knows”, how to apply cosmetics, how to conduct insider trading based on congressional info not available to the public, how to lie about being spit upon during one of her victory marches, how to lie in the general sense, how she and the Ds fabricated an ethics complaint against Newt?? Please tell us Nanzi, what exactly do you know?
Not a solar flare but so neat pics anyway.

From your link:
Newt responds to Nanzi’s not-so-veiled threat:
Well, this is a barometer of our government: Citizens becoming non-citizens in growing numbers.
First the corporations leave, and now the citizenry.
That whirring sound you hear? It’s the Founding Fathers spinning in their graves.
From the British paper The Telegraph we have this story:
The studies really do not support the fried food/heart disease connection. Down in the comments section it get kind of interesting as cholesterol and statins are discussed.
One of the things that is known but ignored is that our own bodies produce 90-95% of our systemic cholesterol while only 5% or so comes from heavily cholesterol laden foods. the natural question should be “why is the body producing the cholesterol?” and what is the purpose of the cholesterol in a “normal” body?
The answer is that the body produces cholesterol as a response to systemic inflammation. The cholesterol represents firemen at the scene of a fire; removing the firemen is not going to treat the cause of their arrival and is risky at best. The issue is diet; our diet contains too much sugar, highly processes grains (white flour and polished white rice) and we tend to consume too much alcohol while at the same time consuming too little wild sourced foods, like wild fish or venison or grass fed beef. This diet issue causes a rise in a substance called arachidonic acid in the body. A diet high in wild fish (farm raised fish are fed grain and the omega 3 fatty acids are not present in the same quantity and quality as wild) and wild meat and fresh fruits and veggies will make the body have lower arachidonic acid levels which will lower the systemic inflammation which will lower the systemic cholesterol levels without the damaging effects of the statins.
When the arachidonic acid to omega 3 ratio is closer to 1:1 systemically your health will soar, many people whose ratio is more like 40:1 have cancer and alzheimers and heart disease; I think the average American is closer to 12:1. Buy a fish oil supplement and take a bunch preferably morning and evening, fish oil omega 3 is the only one that can cross the blood/brain barrier and actually nourish your brain. This articlespeaks about systemic inflammation but it trashes fatty red meat, if the beef is grass fed (that means no feed lot fattening) or wild game it is really good for you.
#5 ST
Hey, thanks! Just don’t let anyone know how old I really am. Only my FB friends can know the awful truth! (And better be sworn to secrecy)
I guess someone got tired of the problem. I know that I’d like to walk in my neighborhood more, but we seem to get a large number of “dump dogs” here, and more than one of them is a pit, which I absolutely do not trust. Animal control won’t come out unless you have them trapped. Our backyard neighbor has a stray pit that likes to sleep on their porch, and can get aggressive if they come out while it’s there. They’ve been trying to get animal control out for a coupla years now.
He used to be a bailiff, I’m pretty sure he has a gun. If a stray was aggressively coming at me, I think I’d have the gun with me for protection. Maybe he’s a big animal lover, or maybe they’re making friends with it.
ST – come ’round more often. I can even put a “reserved” sign on a Comfy Couch Cushion, if you wish, so you’ll always have a place to sit.
We miss you!

#27 TT: Flaxseed oil is fine, olive oil is better. Start taking the fish oil capsules and preferably twice a day. You will get more benefit taking one in the morning and one at night than you will 2 in the morning. I take 3 grams of fish oil, plus C complex, B complex, 10000 units of D3, mornings and evenings.

You say its your birthday?
Good morning Hamsters. Monsoon Deux has just arrived here at 10:10, dropping out of a purple/gray sky. The weather folks tell us to expect heavy rain in the next hour(s) as more is pulled up from the Gulf by that very strong low pressure in SE Texas. Thunder rumbles in the not too far distance and slightly shakes the ground. The strong wind gusts of last night are gone. Static on the radio is continuous. Horses are tucked in the barn, hatches battened down, spouse is telecommuting today, and I guess that about takes care of things here.
Happy Birthday mharper42 and many more. Stay safe and then go out for dinner once this mess passes.
Mharper MANY Happy returns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got a stiff gust of wind. The radar looks ominous. Normally, orange and red are such cheerful colors.
#38
Nope. To be about 1:00 am, up at 7:50 am. Didn’t sleep well. I was still awake to hear thunder between 1:30 and 2:00 am. Must have drifted off fitfully sometime after 2:00 am. I remember waking up several times. Hubby’s alarm went off at 5:30 am. I hit the snooze button the first time, managed to turn off the alarm the second time. After that, I was too awake to sleep well. I think I got about a half hour around 7:00 am.
I’m surprised at how perky I am. Must have slept very fast.
I see a nap in my future.
On a brighter note, I’m close to rewarding myself with a massage for reaching a personal goal. There’s a massage college who’s students need some practice. At this point, I don’t need a professional massage therapist; I’ll take a bumbling student and I’ll still feel better.
I just checked the radar and Glorious Copperfield is getting drenched; not raining yet here at the global HQ at Kirby and Richmond.
#44 TT: I remember those days when I had to go and scrounge for clients to fill my quota in order to finish school. Before I was even at that stage someone came in the school and wanted a massage and I was the only one available, I had him asleep within 30 minutes.

Hey, the Beatles when they were young mop-tops!
Puddles forming everywhere, but at least no wind to blow water under covered areas. Lightning flashes and thunder punctuates every so often and shakes things closer now. Rain pounds stratight down in Texas-sized drops, gutters overflow and become waterfalls, the digital rain gauge just flipped over to 1.04″, but that has to be less than what’s in the plastic one on the paddock fence. Sooo glad we got the culverts cleaned out on Sunday on the road behind our pastures, ’cause if this keeps up very long we shall be a lake again with house and barn islands. The weather folks said there would be training of the storms coming up from the Gulf. The train is here….
Gauge reads 1.29 now.
It is dark here at Kirby and Richmond but very little rain is falling, more like a mist.
The Beatles when WE were young mop-tops.
Making my rounds in Northeast Washington County there is heavy tree damage, many blocking roads.
Northwest Washington County apparently had the worst of it – roofs lost, out buildings blown away, severe tree damage.
A co-worker from the Lomg Point area had a stack of steel for a soon to be erected barn held down with ten railroad ties. That steel is now strewn for several miles across highways and neighbors’ pastures.
70 mph winds were measured at Brenham Airport in South Washington County.
I’m going to step outside and enjoy the weather. I enjoy a good storm front. I remember how my sister and I used to go outside and spin ourselves crazy when a strong front came through.
Yes, we were nuts, but we had fun.

#40 Adee
We’re getting heavy rain here in NW Houston. I was at an Arbor Day ceremony earlier this week and the timing is perfect for a good soaking rain on those newly planted trees. They’re well mulched so their fill dirt shouldn’t wash out. Shame I didn’t have my own plantings ready in time. I am still prepping the spots to put in 2 new trees. Still, this rain will be good for my mature trees. I’ve started watering them once a week when it doesn’t rain at all.
Thanks for the birthday wishes — I would not get out in this weather for anything short of needing open heart surgery!
#67 Homer: You are correct, most guy don’t find me “hot” and those that do don’t get worked on and 2) a masseuse is a wimmin and I aint one of those although I do like them, Mrs. Bonecrusher in particular.
So much for the tolerance of the left. I mean picking on a poor, defenseless statue.

MsTT – heads UP – potential “rotation” detected near Pearland………………..
I appreciate the radio weather alerts, but can’t we just spit it out and skip the promos with every single one?
Thanks Katfish, but by now I think the only “rotation” is my head spinning when I hear about the SOTU last night.

The last of the nasty stuff passed through an hour ago, Sun came out briefly, and clouds moved in again. The plastic gauge says 1.8″, and the digital insists 1.66″. We believe the plastic one. It’s more in the open. Anyway, hope Hamsters everywhere are ok and undamaged.
Tonight’s class is on “Sin & Virtue”. This is always interesting, as the students always ask questions like “If I hold my right arm over my head before I make an incomplete confession because I forgot something I did when I was three, and hopscotch out the door after my penance, then run into the street and get hit by a car, will I go to Heaven or Hell?”
The patience of Job, I have.
Although my web search on the concept of Purgatory has turned up a few interesting tidbits. I went from there to a page on demonic visitation, which brought back a real scary night for me. I don’t think I can share much of that information with the students.
Way too late for this crowd.

#85 WB
At least Yoda could handle a bunch of teenagers, if he had to. Pin ‘em up on the wall with The Force, if necessary. Influence their minds with a wave of his hand. And, if all else failed, leave them to the storm troopers.
2.6″ in my rain gauge, and hardly any standing water left in sight, so most of it is on its way back to the Gulf already. I’m with Adee, I’d rather have it more spread out, but I’ll happily take what we got today.
Happy Birfday Mz mharper42!!
Well the storm finished rolling thru this neck of the woods round about 10:30 or so and left us with almost 4 inches in the gauge. WHOOP.!! WHOOP !! the tanks are near full. When I left to go to town my lower pastures looked like a lake had set in for a long stayover. Upon my return, alas, most of it had run the creeks to the San Bernard and off to the Colorado and points south headed for the Gulf. And yes, the tanks are successfully holding back their wonderful abundance of the wet stuff. Kritters, including the fishes, are doing the “happy dance”
UPDATE: It’s official … the front gauge reads 4.1 inches and it’s starting to mist again. Bring it on!!

Prediction: When the convention comes around there will not be a current contender with 50%+1 delegates.

Pretty good line.
Animals get on just fine without hands, nor thumbs.
Gubna Jan Brewer for prez!
Sorry if this was posted already but I read this earlier and just heard it referenced on Hewitt. I went to Drudge and it’s the top headline so I thought I’d post it now before it dies down. Yesterday Shannon posted a great article whic hshowed Gingrich as Reagan’s lieutenant. This article makes me wonder if there’s another side to Newt being Reagan’s commanding soldier.
Gingrich and Reagan: In the 1980s, the candidate repeatedly insulted the president. By elliot Abrams.
On attacking Reagan poignantly:
Yikes. I sure hope Newt meant that meeting with Gorbachev was *potentionally* dangerous “since Adolf Hitler met with Neville Chamberlain in 1938 in Munich”. Chamberlain sought appeasement; Reagan sought absolute victory through strength.
To be fair, I do believe I heard Hewitt say that Elliot Abrams is on Team Romney and his criticisms against Romney are focused on foreign policy whereas Shannon’s post was focused on Gingrich’s domestic successes. But one other point here is that Abrams “was an assistant secretary of state in the Reagan Administration and deputy national security adviser in the George W. Bush Administration”. This goes to Hewitt’s question as to why do so many people who knew Gingrich intimately not like him and so few come out an defend him? Romney has over 70 congressional endorsements and Gingrich 11.
If anyone ever asks you to define the word schadenfreud, and you’re having a hard time doing it, just show them this article.
Another Bush crony who is also working for the Romney campaign is crticizing Gingrich?
Well, I guess we have no reason to doubt him—–
Tom Delay came in to Micheal Berry’s show tonight and criticized Gingrich as well. Yep, this Tom Delay.
Perhaps Hewitt is not listening to everybody who knew and worked with Newt.
J.C. Watts is a true Conservative hero and served on the ethics committee that investigated Newt. If anyone knows all the skeletons that Granny Rictus McBotox claims to know, its J.C. Watts.
Then there’s this guy
There are others if Hewitt would just do a simple Google search.
#115
Darren
Hindsight being 20/20 and all, it looks pretty silly for Newt to have been critical of Reagon’s policies fighting communism. Take note, Newt was to the right of Reagon if these accusations are true. Not a good thing for the Romney camp to bring out if we are trying to find out who is the most conservative of our nominee choices.
#110 Thanks, Darren!

From what I read, Obammy started it. Good on Guv Brewer to not kowtow to that thin-skinned pr!ck.

#116 Sarge
If I take yer drift, you are glad the woman’s car is apparently being damaged by reflected sunlight? If so, that’s not very compassionate. Sure, there is some irony with dueling greenie-weenie crapola, but bottom line is, the car was being damaged.
Sarge, you sure it wasn’t this Tom Delay?
I heard pieces of that interview, Delay is supportive of Gingrich regarding the ethic charges bull.
mharper, I think the joke was a greenie-weenie Prius damaged by a greenie-weenie energy window.
*Nevermind, I see you caught that part.*
#125 Tim
Uh oh, red pants! How did they ever talk him into wearing red pants to dance in?
I don’t know how he let himself be drawn into any of it, I was embarrassed for him.
Schadenfreude is not the same as irony. It means taking joy at the pain of others. I really don’t care what kind of car people want to drive, but there is a liability issue if someone else is damaging it.
That’s what schadenfreud is all about. An ironic occurence that makes you feel a little bit guilty about being a little bit happy it happened.
I don’t know, I do feel bad for folk’s Volts catching fire. In a smirky kinda way.
Its kinda like watching a boat sink knowing that Barney Frank is on it along with your microwave, toaster, three loaves of bread, a pound of butter, and 100 slices of Kraft singles.
He’d kinda have to, wouldn’t he?
But they are starting to come out of the woodwork, aren’t they?
Next thing you know, Trent Lott will be saying stuff and folks who worled for Charlie Crist will be working to elect Mittens.
#132 Sarge
Yabbut I don’t think that is schadenfreude either.
It’s sort of a win some, lose some situation, ain’t it?
Yep
God forgive me, I’m listening to Micheal Savage (waiting for Dennis Miller to come on).
HE thinks Newt is working for the Democrats—–
OK–
So when did KPRC take Dennis Miller off the radio at night?
Think Miller is on in the day now, not sure.
I would have sworn that I was listening to him on the way home after dinner just a few days ago
137 & 139 – I had no idea DM was ever on KPRC……………here’s what a qwik search yielded though…………
http://tunein.com/radio/The-Dennis-Miller-Show-p123379/
I always find it amusing to discuss sin with my class. We discussed the nature of sin, why it’s bad, how individual sin contributes to social sin, the differences between mortal and venial sin, the consequences/punishment for sin…and then it began.
“Is birth control a sin?” When I said yes, in the eyes of the Catholic Church, about half the class emitted a synchronized gasp. Looks went in all directions and a few heads started bobbing. I dipped briefly into the Catholic view on sexuality and moved on.
“Is xxxx a sin?” I said yes, and a few more gasps. This happened a few more times. I prevented it from getting into a detailed nitpicking session, but I didn’t hold back any answers, either.
They are so transparent.
And a little frightening.
Yah. I found the same thing on Miller’s website. I think there’s something wrong with the I Heart Radio feed. It re-directs to Savage. I generally listen to him live direct on his website, but I missed some of it this morning. He had Major Garrett on for an hour and I always enjoy his take on things.
Is making grilled cheese sammiches in the microwave a sin?
740 and 950 jumbled their schedules in the last couple of weeks. Miller is on later now. What bit me was losing Michael Berry from 2-5, that was a time I could listen to him. Shoot, I’m still PO’ed over losing Neal Boortz from KNTH late evening, and that was a year or more ago.
Somebody mentioned Charlie Crist. That ad that was all over the internet today had the awfulest pic of Crist that I ever saw. It actually denigrated Romney just by being in the same picture with the weaselly-looking Crist.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/01/antimitt-ads-top-drudge-112131.html
I actually kinda like the new sched.
Keeps me from having to listen to Sam Malone.
What time/station is Berry on now?
Yeah but there’s nobody but Chris Baker in the afternoon now. That guy says more stuff without saying anything than anyone. And that’s a talk show host’s resume requirement.
Berry is morning drive and after 5 on 740.
I don’t have but about 15 mins of radio time in the morning, so Joe Pags is fine for that. I would listen to Rush but I’m rarely able to from 11-2. I care who’s on 2-5 because I can usually start listening during that shift. Then 10pm till ZZZZZ is important to me. Hugh Hewitt is the best I can find right now. I think Dennis Miller is on then too, but he’s telling show biz jokes while the bow of the Titanic is lifting up out of the water.
I actually like Chris Baker, but rarely have a chance to catch him. Berry is on 8-11 AM and I catch him on the way to work. Really don’t like Pags, but Matt Patrick isn’t bad. Can’t get reception in the office and they’ve got most radio stations blocked to speed up the Citrix conection.
#143 Sarge
If it isn’t, it should be.
Baker is the worst I have ever heard.
Except for maybe Doug Johnson.
Malone does the same 15 minute show, twelve times, between 6 and 9am.
Apparently Jay Leno made a lame joke about Romney vacationing at a Sikh shrine and they are wissed. Now he’s being sued.
Malone seems to me to be forcing things a bit, as if he’s not really on-board. Seems to be pandering. Berry, at least, seems to beleive in what he’s saying. Matt Patrick is a bit of a bomb thrower sometimes, but preferable to Malone. I like Baker’s irreverent sense of humor, and he does seem to beleive what he’s saying, too.
News from Newtlandia, where
moneycredit grows on treesNeat!
Of course, the
knuckleheadscynics are claiming he had her kidnapped then did nothing until now so it would prop up his SOTU speech.I have never heard of Matt Patrick. Must be on a station I dont get out here.
Starbuck’s supports marriage equality. It must be something in the coffee, I hope no one here has been infected.
I guess the boycott starts tomorrow.
The Russians say there is life on Venus.
Screw the moon.
Pretty good publicity if you want to attract thrill seekers.
Sarge;
Hewitt did not say “everybody” but clearly those who knew Gingrich personally are heavily slanted to not liking him.
Norm Coleman: Read Romney campaign response citing Ramesh Ponnoruu. I didn’t want to take this to a “hey, look at all the conservatives supporting Romney” level but that seems to be where you want to take it. There’ strong concervatives supporting Romney and theyr’s strong conservatives supporting Newt. The best of luck to both of them. For future reference, please note I made the disclaimer of Abrams being on Team Romney. I’m all in for Romney but I want to be open about my sources. And if your do not like Delay or McCain I do not see how Newt will better them overall.
Still, bakc to point, those who knew Newt do not seem to like him. There are exceptions of course but by and large they don’t seem to.
I was wondering myself a couple of weeks ago.
I agree with you on Baker. I like him though I do ger bored after a bit. He can talk about the same thing for a long time and, as you pointed out, really say nothing about it. He’s funny though and overall seems like a good man.
Gee, that’s not fair.
Would Mitt Romney be the richest president ever?
GJT #118;
He may have been to the right of Reagan but incorrect nonetheless. I will agree that focusing only on Newt’s view foreign policy does not present an accurate picture of Newt. I can make anyone look bad just by focusing on what they did bad. But I do think this is a justifiable point on Newt to bring out. I find Romney’s foreign policy much in line with Reagan’s. In the case of Lebanon, perhaps even better.
