Between her and Olivia Hussey, I can’t catch my breath. They’re both beautiful. My God, I don’t have words enough to describe those two beauties. And the way Hussey looks her up and down… my God. My god. I don’t have a god capable of reflecting beautfy of her magnitude.

“Gov Cuomo blames Trump administration for forcing him to send 4,300 coronavirus hospital patients to nursing homes where 5,800 New York residents died – but denies he has a political agenda
The state directive, which said nursing homes could not refuse to accept patients from hospitals who had been diagnosed with COVID-19, was issued on March 25.
It was ultimately scrapped amid widespread criticism that it was accelerating the nation’s deadliest outbreak as patients went into the homes and infected more residents, ultimately leading to more than 5,800 nursing and adult care facility deaths in New York.
Cuomo has previously denied that the directive contributed to any of the deaths.
‘I have no political agenda, I have no political aspirations, there’s no politics here,’ Cuomo said Saturday when asked about the policy.
I can say that but we’re still in an election year and people are playing politics and this is a hyper partisan environment to the extent that people want to politicize this issue and Republicans are saying “well, New York did this”.
‘New York followed the president agency’s guidance. That depoliticizes it,’ he added.
‘What New York did was follow what the Republican administration said to do. That’s not my attempt to politicize it, it’s my attempt to depoliticize it.
‘So don’t criticize the state for following the president’s policy.'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8350813/Gov-Cuomo-defends-sending-patients-hospitals-nursing-homes-saying-following-Trump.html
What?
I’m telling you, it’s Fredos all the way down in that family.
How is it that no other state has a result close to that?
People are starting to realize Cuomo done fucked up and he’s trying to shift the blame. Pretty standard politician behavior as far as I can tell.
It’s downright stupid and looks even worse in hindsight, but are there actually any proven cases of transmission from known positive and still contagious patients sent to assisted living facilities? Or this just five minutes of hate because, well, Cuomo deserves it? Never mind that even if a positive patient was sent to a care facility, proper infection control procedures should have kept it from spreading. Or that with community prevalence at NY/NJ levels and amount of asymptomatic/presymptomatic infectees , it’s almost certain that staff brought it in and even more likely they spread it between patients/residents.
” Never mind that even if a positive patient was sent to a care facility, proper infection control procedures should have kept it from spreading.”
I doubt they had proper infection control procedures from what I read.
That’s the dirty mostly ignored part of the whole thing. And it’s a problem not just there and didn’t just start. Infectious diseases (covid, influenza, TB, hangnails, whatever) get in and then it’s time to start ordering coffins in bulk.
We’ll probably never know.
My wife’s mother, sadly with advanced Alzheimer Disease, resides in a very nice nursing home in New York. We’ve been getting regular updates from the facility throughout the pandemic. What wasn’t mentioned in this article was Cuomo refused to allow nursing homes to test their patients for the virus until after this had all blown up a couple weeks ago. The home had to send very sick patients to the hospital and only then could they be tested — and they typically died soon afterwards.
The nursing home leadership have been exceptionally diplomatic in every live webinar report to families, but you could sense their frustration in being forced by Cuomo to accept active covid patients and then denied any tools to manage them.
Cuomo has all the responsibility for this fiasco, and yet all he has to do is say “Trump’s fault” and the sycophantic media will cover for him. No wonder he has an 81% approval rating while his state greatly leads the nation in deaths.
One of the many things that made it a massive relief when Mom died of a massive heart attack two months after entering the nursing home.
It seems like the state that most badly handled the disease itself (not talking about silly lockdowns and business closures) is New York.
They really did seem to lack the number and qty of hospital beds and staff.
California is also populous, so the absolute numbers are high, but per capita is extremely reasonable. Supplies are plentiful, and staff became surplus when they pushed back all non-essential treatment.
Am I alone in thinking New York really is the only state struggling?
“They really did seem to lack the number and qty of hospital beds and staff.”
They had plenty. The temporary hospitals and hospital ships were barely used.
NJ a fairly (?) close 2nd.
“What wasn’t mentioned in this article was Cuomo refused to allow nursing homes to test their patients”
WTF????
Bullshit. Nobody refers to it as “Trump’s CDC”, especially when they’ve been bitching that Trump isn’t following Mr. Fauci’s advice.

20-year-old beating suspect was moved to nursing home because he has COVID-19, says father
jfc
wtf
That one triggered me too much to use as a link.
“He said his son was recently moved to the nursing center because the 20-year-old was diagnosed with COVID-19 at the University of Michigan Hospital.
The father said he’s been working with Washtenaw County Mental Health Services to get his son the help he needs and that he was placed in a group home in Chelsea. But, recently, he said his son began hearing voices and that’s when he was taken to the hospital and it was there he says that his son was diagnosed with COVID-19.”
That makes no sense.
Fever dreams on top of mental illness? Or just throw his sorry ass in jail where he belongs?
He likely is in the midst of his “first break”, the onset of schizophrenia. He’s the right age. A psychiatric hospital should have been his destination, not a nursing home.
But now I guess he’s just another victim of the virus? Because of this I’m sure someone is already trying to claim schizophrenia as a potential side effect of the virus. *facepalm*
Every illness is the Rona, every environmental illness is manmade climate change.
Animas River would like a word on that…
Adult onset doesn’t usually have a good outcome.
No, it doesn’t. One of my eldest brother’s childhood friends had his “break” in his early 20s and was remanded to 999 Queen St. East in Toronto (the local asylum, basically); he was let out on weekends to see his last surviving relative, his mother who lived in Mississauga, just southwest of Toronto.
One weekend, he hacked his mother to death with a chef’s knife.
His older brother is a respected engineer who was last living in a bedroom rural community in the Calgary area. I haven’t heard anything about the schizophrenic brother for decades now.

Yes she couldn’t do the actually show because she was still contracted to do M*A*S*H. I wonder what have happened to the show without Swit.
IIRC Hotlips got increasingly more important as part of the “gang” toward the last. I still remember “the rabbit died” episode because my mom had to explain it to me.
“Wait, what? They have to kill a rabbit to do a pregnancy test?”
No wonder Radar was traumatized.
The last few seasons had turned her into a Second Wave Feminist and her status as the sorta co-villain (along with Frank Burns) of the show had been long gone. Since BJ, Potter and Winchester were deliberately written to be different from the characters they replaced they couldn’t really do that with a new head nurse character since Houlihan was no longer that character already. Presumably that was one reason they didn’t want Swit to leave and play Cagney.
Also the rabbit didn’t die in that episode.

10. 23 is definitely a top.
The supposed sanitizer warning is absolute garbage, backed up nothing other than conjecture. Don’t leave any objects, particularly pressurized containers like spray cans, in hot cars or on the dash in sunlight, but there’s no special danger from hand sanitizer.
I’d say the one thing that would make it worse is that the contents (alcohol) are flammable, at a very low temperature.
Self ignition is at 700F though.

He said a big part of enforcing the health order is making sure patrons also know what they need to do to comply and be safe.
“At the same time, we’re trying to get the message out that it’s the patrons’ responsibility as well,” Wolf said.
‘Officers have been doing similar checks while bars and restaurants reopened patios. Wolf said by-and-large, the agency saw very few incidents in which they had to issue violations.
If there is an issue that rises to a violation, Wolf said it would be filed against the business’ liquor permit, and lead to a hearing with the liquor control commission.
Agents will not be shutting down businesses, he said.’

Folks out and about on a Saturday is a great sign. Sorry about the kid whose dad is mean; I feel more sorry for the “I miss my fronds” scrawler.
We humans are social and intellectually curious;, this lockdown crap is bad for our health.

Someone is going to pay for this shit, and pay hard.
And guess who? The goddamn fucking asswipes who promised me global warming, not falling tomato blooms.

It has been most difficult to contain my inappropriate verbiage when my supervisor yearns for a federal bailout.

Most of those taxes are going to be on those deplorables in flyover country, since UCS’ ultimate supervisor is Shithead Cuomo.
Sure, they have nothing to worry about.
NYSGov employees are going to be the last ones to take a hit if Cuomo can help it.
Ted, you don’t seem to understand Andy.
Rank and file state employees are an annoyance and an expense he doesn’t care for.
I’ll believe he doesn’t care about the employees when he submits a budget that lays off half of them.
That would mean cutting his pet programs, so it’s done by attrition instead.
Any shrunken budget I mean.

I finished planting my garden today, had 2 tomato plants extra. Took them to my friend. As I drove in the driveway I see a young wood chuck by my wood shed.Shit! Wood chuck runs into the shed. I go back to the garden, 1 tomato plant is missing, eaten while I was gone for half an hour. Now I’m short a plant. I have a lot of tomato plants but that damned wood chuck could destroy a lot. I set some traps, found the only remnant left over from the boating accident. Maybe, just maybe the problem can be solved before more damage is done.
I won’t let critters get near my garden plants. I mean it would have to be a bird. I’m looking more at growing more indoors with today’s LED grow lights.
Same here, especially tomatillos and basil.
My wife grows her herbs in beds around the front of the house. Several were biennial which surprised me.
I have a chain link fence to keep deer/bear out of the garden but the smaller critters dig underneath. I have some treated posts I’ll lay around the bottom, maybe keeps the pests out.
Just hit them with phosphorus and potassium when the weather gets hot.
After the fires burn out, there’ll be nothing left of the plants!

Social media in the 20C?
*sigh*
I can see how kids with an addiction to social media are going to fuck up their lives in the coming years, caught between when most everything went and then became strictly monitored, before people figure out how to keep their mouths shut online for survival purposes.
There’s probably a more elegant way to say that, but I’m lazy.
That’s why you need to have a real Facebook/whatever page and a fake Facebook/whatever page. One for going to church and doing other wholesome stuff, the other for your drunken blackface escapades.
IRL Me does not have a FB page. I barely have a Twitter account and that’s for my business. Very little of me IRL is online at all.
I don’t have accounts at any of those places because I’m a misanthropic loner but that’s what I’d do if I did.
I’m whoring books. Kinda have to do the social media thing if I want to sell any. ?

Gauleiterin Mills says, “We are all soldiers in this fight
“But it is on Memorial Day too that we remember how much else we have been through, what we have endured before, how we survived and how we will survive and rise again.”
She hearkened to the leadership of President Franklin Roosevelt, who led the United States out of the Great Depression and through World War II. FDR, she said, “was a man who, more than any other, shaped and directed our moral, social and economic fabric. … A man who gave our nation hope.”
Mills said she shares that hope as Maine and the rest of the country continues to battle against the pandemic that has upended daily life.
“We are facing an enemy that is real but unseen, as sure a killer as any enemy we have ever fought in our national history,” she said, adding that fighting this enemy requires hygiene, not bullets, and social distancing, not huddling in bunkers on the battlefield. “We are all soldiers in this fight.”
“We are all soldiers in this fight.”

My mother talked about how tough the Depression was for them. My dad was making @ 16 a week, giving 5 of that to his elderly parents that lived with them. Eventually Grandpa shot Grandma and then did himself in. Grandma lived another 2-3 months. Mom thought FDR was a savior, even as she was apolitical.
The elders in my family hated FDR for allowing Pearl Harbor to happen.
That is only what I heard with my own ears, so I don’t know what concurrent issues were also fueling that hatred.

San Diego county has lifted the ban on dine-in restaurants, and a few have reopened.
They have to comply with some new regulations and I don’t know how onerous they are.
Main problem is that with the death of the rule of law, few restaurant owners are willing to risk reopening only to be shut down if Newsom gets his panties in a bunch. Rule by fiat is a losing proposition.

So tiring.
Had drinks with friends last night. Evidently the words, “I can still smell that retarded girl’s pussy” came out of my mouth near the end of the night. Since I was a bit tipsy, I don’t recall much else. Wonder if there is any missing context that can save me from spending eternity in hell.
Oh look at Mr. Bigshot here with his real friends.
Psycho axe-wielding people don’t get to have real friends.
Depends on how well sound-proofed your basement is. And how loose your definition of “friend” is.
Fair points.
Well… umm…. umm…. … I got nothing.
How about… wait… uh maybe…. I got nothing too.
I LOLd.
As long as “that retarded girl” isn’t your wife.
You’re becoming a salaryman.
I have to think like a salaryman. Dress like one. Be one!

Was that all in one language and is it possible the people you were with wouldn’t catch what you were saying?
Unfortunately, all native English speakers. Can I tell them I was quoting you?
Sure, as long as you don’t forget to mention I’m a gynecologist.
That’s a phrase that’ll stick with a fella.
What did it smell like?
On the bright side, some people don’t know why they were condemned to hell. You will know exactly why.
So….it’s the words you’re worried about??
*long string of censor bleeps*
Looking up my science to find the amount of moonlight available has caused some more problems for my story.
Yes, a full moon gives higher high and lower low tides than average, but the of the two lows per day, the lower of the two during a full moon is in the early afternoon, while the low in the wee hours of the morning is… higher than an average low tide.
You get the same pattern with a new moon, early afternoon has the low point of the day.
Except… hrmm… Montevideo isn’t matching that pattern.
I’m going to check to see if there’s a difference based upon lattitude
In Sidney, the extreme low is just after midnight on a full moon….
The more equatorial Libreville, Gabon has the extreme low around 10pm on a full moon.
All right, I retract my censored profanity. It is perfectly possible for Baranga to have its very low tide after sunset at a full moon, with its tropical clime.
The words spring tide and neap tide wander to the front of my brain from the recesses of the damaged cells in the back.
Well, if the tide ever reaches the western slope, we’re all in trouble.
True that. I haven’t always lived here. I left for many years. In my experience, the greater differences between highs and lows happened the further one got from the equator.
Well, the story’s stuck in a tropical band I just wanted to see how much light there would be while the characters were going for their swim in crocodile infested waters.
Check the tide tables. And why would anybody go swimming in crocodile infested waters?
I’m going to assume it’s not voluntary or for pleasure.
the series of tubes says: The highest tides in the world can be found in Canada at the Bay of Fundy, which separates New Brunswick from Nova Scotia. The highest tides in the United States can be found near Anchorage, Alaska, with tidal ranges up to 40 feet .

I’ve visited both. I remember seeing the Hopewell Rocks as a kid while on a family trip to Nova Scotia.
If they’re in tropical Africa, parasites in the water are a bigger threat than crocodiles.

There’s a reason why I didn’t go swim in Lake Malawi or Lake Victoria.
That’s enough of a reason for me to skip the entire continent. They have diseases which are relatively common there which medical science hasn’t even tried to find cures for.
One word: botflies
In many parts of the world, particularly jungle countries, there is a belief that parasites aren’t a big deal and everyone gets them. This leads to the belief that only sick people need to drink boiled or treated water.
I had malaria. It was horrible. Oh, how I *hate* mosquitoes!
fun fact: mosquito means little fly in Spanish. This means little flea in Spanish-

I once half-drunkenly replied to some twit in a bar – “So where do I send my contribution to the NGO you set up to fix this?”
Back then, I swam in the Indian ocean and chatted with fishermen in Zanzibar. The fishermen have a sanctuary for the sea turtles they accidentally catch at a place called Mnara (lighthouse in Swahili). For a few bucks, you can feed seaweed to the recovering sea turtles and pet them.
I’ll go back someday. Many happy memories from that place…

What would have stopped Sam from riding an eagle straight to Mt Doom and dropping the ring in? Why did they even need to go there? Couldn’t they just have melted it down in any old foundry? I hear the dwarves are pretty good at that stuff.
Why didn’t the Empire blow up that escape pod in Episode IV? They know droids exist and that they don’t register as lifeforms.
I am in awe of it.
That looks effective.

As effective as a chain link fence to stop a mosquito problem.
A lady at CVS had a lace one. I found it rather fetching.
She probably believes that gun bans work so this would be a pretty good analogy.
I carry a cloth mask, but I don’t wear it unless I see a sign at the entrance or someone asks. I figure that’s a low-key way to push back on the virus hysteria.
And really, if regular cloth on my face was enough, why do workers in germ labs wear the full hazmat suits and take decontamination showers?
I learned how to use a gas mask a few years ago- how to seal it properly, etc. They taught us a little kindergarten type song with hand signals: stop breathing, close your eyes, put on your mask, cover the inhaler and breathe out, cover the filter and breathe in, make the signal and yell “gas, gas, gas!” Don’t take off your mask until 10 minutes after the all clear sign is given.
They also taught us how to inject the antidote to nerve gas, but it’s been so long I can’t remember the whole procedure. I do remember it requires 2 injections.
Atropine and 2-Pam chloride. Into the muscular part of the thigh.
^Ladies and gentlemen, our newest soldier of the month…
Not me. Oddball trivia that stuck. There’s a whole lot that I’ve forgotten.
The way I look at this – other than the social aspect of cooperating which is important in Japan – is that masks can’t filter the naked virus, but that’s not the point. If the virus was floating in the air as a discrete particle it would dry out and die rather quickly. The threat, if there is one, is the water particles which have viruses suspended in them. Those particles are much larger than any individual virus and are likely to adhere to just about any cloth material which isn’t extremely porous. Once they stick to that cloth they water will evaporate and the viruses dry out and die. That would catch a significant amount of water particles being expelled from the person wearing the mask.
That said, anybody who thinks a mask alone will protect them from others is deluded.

I’m almost willing to let that kind of hoarding slide.
We just paid the junk man to haul off several thousand books. Nobody wants used books.
Old Seinfeld joke: why does anyone *buy* a book? What are you gonna do? Read it again and act surprised at the ending? You know, if you read Moby Dick twice, Ahab and the whale actually become very good friends.
🙁
Little Free Libraries want them. Some have more turnover than others. Generally more lately cuz people are bored.
I can’t bring myself to throw away or burn a book. It just seems so wrong. I remember as a young’in watching that scene with the Nazi book bonfire in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I asked my dad “they burned books?!” He said: oh son, they did so much worse than that.

As a child I remember going to the library and randomly picking a book off the shelf and reading it. I learned many things I never thought I was interested in. How do you do that now? My parents had a library they really couldn’t afford. I remember in 4th grade I made a list of all their books and let kids at school pick books to ‘borrow’ from “MY” library. LOL. I am sure some of their books never made it back to the shelf, but my parents never said a thing if they found out.
I feel the need to throw something away now.
Given: Chocolate chip cookies are not my favorite. I make them for my husband because he’s a chocolate fiend.
That said: I make the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted.
FYI and carry on.
Whose recipe do you use? Do you tweak it?
I like the oaty Mrs. Fields kind, with orange zest added. I think the Toll House chips and recipe are both quite meh. Guittard for the win.
Or should I search your recipe index?
Here: http://b10mediaworx.com/recipes.html#ccc
BUT I need to rewrite the recipe properly (i.e., ingredients in order of usage) and add a couple of notes for myself.
Oh hey, you know that hack where you put a slice of bread in your bag of hard brown sugar to soften it up? Totally works.
These have a slight caramelly crunch on the edges.
I PREFER my choco chip cookies to be big, flat-ish, crunchy on the edges and soft in the middle. Husband doesn’t like them “like crackers,” so that recipe is the compromise.
But you can really get that caramel flavor if you use toffee chips instead of milk chocolate.
If you like more caramel, add brown sugar and subtract an equal amount of white sugar. If less, sub white sugar for brown.
American Ninja is on YouTube movies. That’s the Army I wanted to join. Also, despite leftist nonsense, Judy Aronson still looks good.
Do you keep up with her enough to know that she engages in “leftist nonsense”?

I uh, looked her up recently and she’s tweeting a storm like far too many celebrities.
