Merry Christmas To Karzai

Karzai strolls across another Obama red line:

U.S. Softens Deadline for Deal to Keep Troops in Afghanistan

By MATTHEW ROSENBERG

KABUL, Afghanistan — With about a week left in the year, the Obama administration is backing away from a Dec. 31 deadline for securing a deal to keep American troops in Afghanistan beyond 2014, though it is standing by its warning that a total military withdrawal is still possible if delays continue, American and Afghan officials said.

The decision is a tacit acknowledgment of what has become obvious in both Kabul and Washington: Neither a hard sell nor soft persuasion has yet induced President Hamid Karzai to go along with the American-imposed timeline for the agreement.

It is also an embarrassing turn after weeks of threats by some senior administration officials, including Susan E. Rice, the national security adviser, that a complete American withdrawal from Afghanistan — the so-called zero option — would be considered if Mr. Karzai did not sign the deal by the year’s end.

Instead of prompting Mr. Karzai to action, however, setting a boundary appears to have only reinforced his sense that American officials will back down if he refuses their demands — a lesson that has been repeated often over the past 12 years.

“I don’t know if I would call it bluffing,” said one American official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. “But it looks like that’s what we were doing, and now it looks like Karzai is calling us out.”

Dealing with this after the Afghan election next spring made sense anyway.

No. I just always wanted one. Whenever I see a news story about some couple trapped in their car in a lake...I always comment that we should get a Life Hammer.
I guess my husband got sick of hearing it. Hah! Here's a Life Hammer...now shut up. Hah!

[Extraneus]

Here's a Life Hammer...now shut up.

"Oh, thank you, Santa! Just what I always wanted!"

It's enough to warm one's heart on Christmas.

Anyone else get what they always wanted, or at least something good?

Jack, did you give your wife the car with the bow on top?

Now my irritating, repetitive comment can be - That would be no problem for us because we have a Life Hammer.

[Jane]

What is a "life Hammer"?

Janet that may be the best Sultan Knish of all time.

It's a tool to break your car window. If the electric system goes out (can't get the windows down) & water pressure won't let you open the car doors...you can break the window with the Life Hammer. Mine has a seatbelt cutter on it too. Deluxe!

Hi Extraneus, I got a Spa Day at our nicest local "body shop" from my husband. Much appreciated. Our Goddaughter sent wonderful pictures of her two little boys in a double frame.

Our cats were very well gifted, and got a bag catnip labeled "Maui Madness" that was really high octane, and catnip cigars the they also enjoyed. They were passed out drunk under the tree for a little while after the festivities.

Also got lots of nice food gifts from other siblings.

Thanks for the Sultan Knish, Janet. It was great.

BTW, have you seen the stories about the army banning "Merry Christmas"? Looks like getting the cards out early was the right way to go.
Best to you and yours.

[Extraneus]

Well let me just say this...

If you haven't heard of the ThermaPen, it's a super-accurate quick-read thermometer for cooking. (Only takes a few seconds to get the real temperature.) Costs about 90 bucks, though.

This year, we got the ThermoWorks probe, for watching the temperature of what's cooking in the oven. Alton Brown said 161F for the turkey, so I set it there and got the alarm when it hit that exact temp.

They always say to let it "rest" and that the temperature will rise after coming out of the oven, but I never was able to know exactly how much until now.

165.9 so far, and I'll be able to tell exactly when it reaches its max and starts cooling off.

This is the way to go, people.

[DrJ]

Gotta love a small town.

Our paper had an above-the-fold headline "Santa has smooth landing in Auburn" with a sub of "Rotund fellow continued his Christmas journey around globe." Above was a picture of Santa in the air (with reindeer) and a header of "NORAD tracks celebrity over foothills."

[JIB]

Janet,

LOL. Mrs. JiB gave me a life hammer based strictly on my driving and not what I wanted:)

Ex,

No car but I did get her a copper wood burning fire pit with plent of tools for roasting hot dogs, marshmallows and shrimp. I am hoping for reverse psychology and it will usher in the warmest winter we have ever had. One of the things Frederick got was a karaoke machine with Microphone. Will be spending more time outside, I guess.

[Beasts of England]

I'm still old school, Extraneus. Strictly analog. Letting anything rest out of the oven is a good idea, especially true for roasts.

100 degrees was my last reading. Getting close.

[MaryD]

Extraneus, I have a couple of instant thermometers that cost a lot less than $90 and seem to work well. What is special about the Thermapen? Cooking fool wants to know.

[Gosford Snark]

"But it's not just the elves. Even economists, who should know better, go on insisting that we need to shrink Santa's route now despite high reindeer unemployment. Some continue to insist that there just is a skill mismatch in the Pole economy, so that we have no choice but to allow the diminutive Rudolph resources go unemployed. This truly is the dark age of North Pole economics."

The Krug Man.

[DrJ]

Ext, did you calibrate the magic thermometer? The water freezing and boiling points are the easiest to do.

[Extraneus]

Yes, I just tried to post that but TP didn't let me link. 212 and 32 within 3 seconds.

[21_cathy_f_in_tripep@d_prison_98]

I missed last night's selection of social security stories, so I'll add mine. My grandmother, who was born in 1915, had to get a social security number in 1935 when the law was first passed. She got a copy of her baptismal certificate as proof of age and identity. At which point she discovered that her first name was Gwendolyn. She was always called "Sis" by everyone, and knew her "real" name as Lorraine, but Lorraine was actually her middle name.

Whoever linked to the Social Security location tool, thanks, it was cool! It gives a different year than I remember, but I'm pretty sure that they are right not me. I remember that my brother and I got ours when we opened our first bank accounts, but I was sure in was in Fall of 1969 when we moved to LA, when I was 6 and my brother almost 9. But the tool says 1971. Given that information, I'm now changing my story -- we must have needed the bank accounts because we got checks for Christmas presents in 1970. But what I do remember quite distinctly is that we got our accounts at Home Savings and Loan, which had these totally awesome plastic piggy banks in the shape of a house (their logo house.) And I also remember that the bank employee who signed us up for our accounts signed us up for the social security numbers, too. He had a pile of cards, not quite sequential, and my brother's number is 8 below mine. If it was Jan 1971, then I was 7-going-on-8, and my brother was 10.

Obama's grandmother worked at a bank, and it seems most likely that she would have signed him up for a number, using the paperwork that would have been at the bank in that era. As for why it is a CT number, that is very, very curious -- but it could have been as simple as some bureaucrat routing a box of CT blanks to grandma's bank in HI in error. If something like that happened, you would expect that there are a bunch of people (a box full) who got CT numbers in HI at around the same time.

[Extraneus]

Hovering at 166.8 now, so I'll carve when it just starts going down. :-)

[JIB]

Ex,

You are on the medium side of the temp. Don't forget to let it sit for 15 minutes before carving. You can put a sheet of foil over it loosely to keep some residual heat in but it will carve best with rest.

Did you make a Yorkshire Pudding with it? Mine turned out very creamy and airy. Nothing like a good yorkie to soak up the gravy.

JiB - at least the Kardashians have kinda worked for their money. Medea didn't.

Living in Cleoville is difficult at times and more so at Christmas. The local demented leftist commie Methodist church has put up its nativity scene featuring Trayvon Martin--that's right, Trayvon Martin taking the place of Jesus. The newspaper had an article about the man behind what has become an annual abuse and affront to most.

Don't know much about Greta but her family is pretty interesting and not one to get into discussions at Thanksgiving.

I do know that a good meal can be had at the Old MIll Restaurant in Mattiuck on the North Fork.

The only pretense is your presence here as the JOM anti-idiot when in fact you are the only idiot.

[Gosford Snark]

" your presence here as the JOM anti-idiot when in fact you are the only idiot."

It's pretty much been established by both sides, that there are several suspected idiots, so that seems false on it's face.

[narciso,]

He may not be selfaware enough for that, JiB, how was the karaoke?

[Gosford Snark]

"not one to get into discussions at Thanksgiving."

Has that peaked after Greta's public persona? My hat tips to them, and my sympathies go out.

[narciso,]

Well the important thing is they understand each other;

[Jane]

I think Greta does a great interview, and quite possibly is a liberal. She doesn't let that get in the way, unlike the rest of the so called "press".

Oh goodie (WSJ):

Republican leaders and their corporate allies have launched an array of efforts aimed at diminishing the clout of the party's most conservative activists and promoting legislation instead of confrontation next year.

GOP House leaders are taking steps to impose discipline on wavering committee chairmen and tea-party factions. Meanwhile, major donors and advocacy groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and American Crossroads, are preparing an aggressive effort to groom and support more centrist Republican candidates for Congress in 2014's midterm elections.

And they want our money and support?

The bank of Hawaii did not have any branches in the US until 1989, JEF's number was obtain in 1976-77 so it is unlikely that the bank would have CT numbers as Hawaii would have excess amounts of SS numbers. Whereas CT would be needing more numbers as they run out.

Glad you enjoyed the resource.

I have something similar to this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dv0UU66CbU

FWIW "inside cam" and "outside cam" seems more obvious than the director may have thought.

[21_cathy_f_in_tripep@d_prison_98]

bori, not sure what you mean... In those days when you got a social security card they had the blank cards with the numbers printed on them at the banks. When you went to open a bank account for someone without a SSN, they took out the next card in the box, typed in all of your information on the top part (on, yes, a typewriter) and typed your name on the bottom part. They then separated the parts on the perforation, and they gave you your real live social security card with your permanent number pre-printed at the government printing office. Then they sent the top part of the card to the government for entry into the system.

A bank in HI could end up with a box of blank SS forms with CT numbers by the simple process of someone sending out the wrong box. Given the similarity in the CT and HI zip codes, and depending upon what process they used in the office that filled bank re-orders for blank social security cards, it could have been an easy mistake to make.

The point is that the process of organizing social security numbers by place was a process where they controlled which blank forms were sent to which place. A process clearly subject to human error. Now you fill out a form with name/address/etc and send it to the SSA and they enter it in to their computers and the computer picks the applicant a SSN according to the address and prints out a card with the name and that number on it and sends back the card. But then a clerical person took a blank form out of a box and that form already had a social security number printed on it. Then the person filled your information in on the card, and the number became yours.

This discussion of social security numbers always seems to assume the way it works now where an application comes in and a number is assigned to the applicant. But that's not how it worked before computers and instant communications. Back then, the numbers existed first, printed on the blank cards, and then the applicants were assigned to the numbers on the cards. Now it would be pretty hard for the computer to come up with a CT number for a HI applicant. But then, all that would be required for a CT number to end up in a HI applicant's hand would be for the CT blank to get sent to HI by mistake.

It is an evil cult that doesn't deserve the title religion. Speaking of which, Frau's description of the Methodist's insanity in Cleoville just means that the Episcopalians will have to try harder.

I'm ready for a civil war in the Republican party; Rove fired the first shot before the echoes of Romney's concession speech had barely faded and Boehner's stupidity just upped the ante.

The Chamber nationally is deeply involved in pushing the Corporatist angle of the Agenda 21 vision. So are the major metro groups that I have dealt with or attended events they have sponsored when I recognized the theme.

So that announcement is essentially saying the Reps want 2014 candidates that do not take the US Constitution seriously and come into office with flexibility. Just imagine how much worse such candidates will be just 6 months into drinking the DC water that political power is now all.
