Secondhand Lions is one of the few DVD's I ever purchased because I liked it so much.

It is a wonderful, wonderful movie which is difficult to describe, but it is memorable and I guarantee you will love it.

My, my, my, thank you for the much appreciated comments on Secondhand Lions.
This was the earlier exchange;
My book group is reading The Buried Book by D. M. Pulley, a surprisingly engaging page turner about a nine year old kid whose slutty mother drops him off at her brother's farm north of Detroit in the early 50s, to keep him away from something sketchy she's involved with.
Posted by: Captain Hate at August 20, 2017 09:32 AM (y7DUB)
LOL. That sounds a little like "Secondhand Lions," a movie highly recommended by the Moron Community. It stars Robert DuVal and Michael Caine as two "eccentric" long-lost uncles a young boy's slutty mother drops him with for a summer. Get the DVD from your library. Suitable to watch with young 'uns as well.

I've been bing watching Games.. - started about a week ago - am on Season 4, episode 9. Always turned my nose up at it but my sons convinced me to try to watch it and now I'm hooked. Too much nudity & violence though.
French newspaper Le Parisien reported on Sunday night that the Audi A3 used in the Cambrils attack was caught speeding in the Paris region about a week ago.
710 Miles.
Seems not too smart if our navigation systems have been compromised that they would let us know it.
Maybe they're showing off but seems like something one would want to hold in reserve.
They could be hacking the gps, although that still doesntvexplain the radar anomaly, yes I know that's out of another bond film, but this is where we find ourselves
Jane? Anyone else who might not be watching "Games of Thrones" or has no fly fishing lures to finish tying:
How did Onkel Adolf get "elected"? It was not by very much at all. I had seen data that showed it was not the poor and unemployed but more of the working and shop keeper class; however, this study by an English researcher is very interesting and shows the urban/rural and Protestant/Catholic aspects starting in 1930.
The Nazi Party was therefore without doubt a Volkspartei: recruiting its members and its voters across a broad range of social groups, from both sexes and from the older as well as the younger generation. However, this support was never able to deliver enough votes for a parliamentary majority, nor was it distributed randomly across German society. Being a Catholic, unemployed or living in a large town significantly reduced the likelihood of voters to opt for Hitler, as did the existence of strong ideological and political traditions. Conversely, being a Protestant in rural Germany greatly increased such a propensity, as did the absence of strong loyalties. The structure of Nazi support therefore requires that explanations of the rise of Hitler are not simply reduced to the experiences and sentiments common to all Germans, but must take into account both the timing of Nazi success and the specific grievances of those who did choose the NSDAP to speak for them.
While the Nazis did beat the snot and teeth out of stragglers to their cause, they and the communists had already been fighting and murdering each other for many years. http://www.johndclare.net/Weimar6_Geary.htm
CH - I am sure you are convinced by now but don't miss "Secondhand Lions"! It is a real gem of a movie.
I think I will put it on my watch list as I am avoiding some of my usual unpleasant entertainment while I heal. I've been looking up old Andy Griffith shows on YouTube and craving more wholesome things like that.
Loved your beautiful Labs, daddy. Is that a "fetching tag?" I can't read it but those are so unique with cute phrases.

Well, TLG, since you're only in Season 4 I guess we can't discuss this episode that just concluded. Do you suppose you'll be current next week ??? I binge-watched like crazy just to get caught up and watch the last two episodes of the season in real time.
You're right, though: lots of nudity. I'm amazed at the number of Betty Bad Asses in this series. A bit off-the-charts crazy, to me.
And Narciso, you're right -- that chick Cersei? She gots to go.

[2] (about our excellent U.S. Navy)
WTF is going on? This is a very worrying development. It would be good if someone on the board has a calming take that makes sense. Otherwise, this is going to be a tough night to get some good sleep.
We watched the new Endeavour on PBS. The reception kept failing at key moments. Whoever moved the broadcast spectrum should be shot. I'll have to watch it online later, but I already know who did it.
daddy - Chapter 4 has the slavery question clearly detailed and every joker who sneers about the 3/5 designation should have to read this out loud on his/her local radio and TV station. When Mr. Frau wrote a journalist at the LATimes to explain the basis, the man wrote back and said it was all new to him and he understood but he was not going to change his message to the public.
RG - I'll definitely be current next Sunday. I started last Sunday and I'm almost done with 4 seasons so watching 3 seasons this week should be easy. The only thing that delays me is 2 of my sons always want to watch the last 2 episodes of each season with me, Otherwise I'd probably be done.
ran across this link on my 'on this day' feature -
This was last year August 20, 2016
Watch the first video.
"When the event concluded, Trump supporters were forced to run a “gauntlet,” with many, including elderly women, being punched and pelted with garbage."...
"Agitators could be seen following attendees down a sidewalk screaming expletives and throwing objects."....
"Minneapolis police spokeswoman Sgt. Catherine Michal said there were no arrests, the Star Tribune reports."
It is beyond unbelievable that President Trump & his supporters are being labeled evil & dangerous.
Where was all the concern when THAT hatred & violence was happening?
Did Democrat politicians make statements denouncing THAT?
Where were the screaming headlines & op-eds in every "news"paper?
Were TV talking heads & late night comedy hosts having emotional breakdowns over that violence & hatred?
Wink sets his books around an framing date, one might say pastille day is the key one in upheaval, in the colonies it created serious strife, in France it lead to the terror, and in Russia, a near century of Russian winter
The interesting coincidence is all three - Lake Champlain (that hit a Korean fishing boat earlier this year), Fitzgerald and McCain - are guided missile ships.
Single payer nirvana stories;
Checkout girl at the local market has to take her new glasses off to see because her Medical financed pair are the wrong prescription.
Daughter's roommate with 4 year old son with 104 fever misdiagnosed for several days by Medical financed docs until he had sepsis.
Ok now, no thanks to the unaccountable single payer colossus.
If someone's jamming our GPS satellite signals then we're depending on GPS too much. They might be able to renovate the old LORAN towers but that might take a while. The simple answer IMO, is to navigate with GPS and check your position the old fashion way, before GPS or LORAN...Dead-Reckoning. Time, speed and distance, knowing any two of these and you can figure out the third. A watch measures time, a paper nautical chart and a parallel plotter measures distance, now we need a chart with known speeds and we can figure out our position, heading or destination using dead-reckoning. Run a measured nautical mile every 250 RPM's and record the time to make an RPM Chart.
Not if the irresponsible Press keeps up its current behavior.
Why, when the Press constantly refuses to identify the names, the religions, the motives, or the photo's of the perps, do they then turn around and publish for every Tom, Dick, and Muhammed in the world to see, the following about the Cop who killed the Cambrils Jihadi's:
---A front page photo showing the back of his head with a big red circle around it thus making it very easy to identify him,
---His special background training in elite Special Forces, making it easier to identify him and putting a target on his Special Forces Unit
---Describing him as a married Father, thus letting the bad guys know he has a wife and kids, further helping to identify him and making it known there are some other targets close to him that can be hit as revenge, and to send a message to future cops who might try to stop perps---beware.
---it adds this: After leaving the armed forces he joined the Catalan police force Mosses ddoesquadra
---and this: He was not meant to be on duty on Thursday night Now we knows schedule.
Why do we know any of that? What is the purpose? They even add this:
The married father, who has not been named for security reasons, served with the Legion - an elite infantry unit of the Spanish army.
So they know that identifying him is dangerous, yet they do it anyway, including placing a big red circle around his head, a thousand times more deadly than anything even the Times this Sarah Palin did.
The Media ought to be shot for such grow irresponsibility.
That modest proposal that the villain in tbat ghosted James Patterson private series might actually have a point, this is a declared lie intensity conflict going on in Europe, many of the minions deal hashish, and that is how they fund many of these operations, there was a very well departed style series set in ceuta, called the Prince about an undercover operation trying to take down the aforementioned dealer and terrorist.
Interesting he has being covering this story for months (be was the eatercarrier in sanford for the huffington post, like Coates was at the Atlantic and a whole cavalcade was at Carlos slims:
I was only pointing that unlike many, he probably had previous contact with the enemy and hence is under no illusions. But it is sort of like if they outed jack bauer
If someone is jamming the nav signals I would be surprised. That these events have all happened to the same class of ship makes me think it's something else. However, it would still be nice if the GPS Block IIIA satellites hadn't been delayed for three years (so far).
Now I'm watching what I assume is a stealth Blackhawk from the Aviation Command fly up and back across the lake. Very cool. About the only thing you can hear is the rotor wash.
Insty says it's the 4th Naval Incident since February:
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING? .10 missing, 5 injured after USS John S. McCain collides with tanker in Pacific
“This crash came days after the top three leaders aboard the USS Fitzgerald were relieved of command. That warship was damaged badly in a collision off the coast of Japan that killed seven sailors in June. . . . This marked the fourth mishap for U.S. Navy ships in the Pacific since February. Aside from the USS McCain and USS Fitgerald incidents, the Navy crusier USS Antietam ran aground dumping over 1,000 gallons of oil in Tokyo Bay in Februray. In May, another cruiser, USS Lake Champlain, hit a South Korean fishing vessel.”
Hey, daddy! Interesting that you note training. Someone at The Horde observed that the crew spends so much time on diversity training and other non-mission related bullshit that they didn't see how there weren't more incidents. Hopefully no transitioning sailors had their dresses wrinkled during the collision...

RG - I'll definitely be current next Sunday. I started last Sunday and I'm almost done with 4 seasons so watching 3 seasons this week should be easy. The only thing that delays me is 2 of my sons always want to watch the last 2 episodes of each season with me, Otherwise I'd probably be done.

CH, were you answering Ignatz, or did that just happen?
Just happened; I was responding to Buford Gooch. Iggy makes a good point but you shouldn't underestimate the potential for hubris in an enemy.

ran across this link on my 'on this day' feature -
This was last year August 20, 2016
Watch the first video.
"When the event concluded, Trump supporters were forced to run a “gauntlet,” with many, including elderly women, being punched and pelted with garbage."...
"Agitators could be seen following attendees down a sidewalk screaming expletives and throwing objects."....
http://www.theamericanmirror.com/video-agitators-bang-doors-trump-fundraiser-punch-attendees-gauntlet/
"Minneapolis police spokeswoman Sgt. Catherine Michal said there were no arrests, the Star Tribune reports."
It is beyond unbelievable that President Trump & his supporters are being labeled evil & dangerous.
Where was all the concern when THAT hatred & violence was happening?
Did Democrat politicians make statements denouncing THAT?
Where were the screaming headlines & op-eds in every "news"paper?
Were TV talking heads & late night comedy hosts having emotional breakdowns over that violence & hatred?

Wink sets his books around an framing date, one might say pastille day is the key one in upheaval, in the colonies it created serious strife, in France it lead to the terror, and in Russia, a near century of Russian winter

They have to stop incarcerating regular run of the mill criminals with hardened terrorists.

The interesting coincidence is all three - Lake Champlain (that hit a Korean fishing boat earlier this year), Fitzgerald and McCain - are guided missile ships.
Common-mode failure of some kind?

Single payer nirvana stories;
Checkout girl at the local market has to take her new glasses off to see because her Medical financed pair are the wrong prescription.
Daughter's roommate with 4 year old son with 104 fever misdiagnosed for several days by Medical financed docs until he had sepsis.
Ok now, no thanks to the unaccountable single payer colossus.

If someone's jamming our GPS satellite signals then we're depending on GPS too much. They might be able to renovate the old LORAN towers but that might take a while. The simple answer IMO, is to navigate with GPS and check your position the old fashion way, before GPS or LORAN...Dead-Reckoning. Time, speed and distance, knowing any two of these and you can figure out the third. A watch measures time, a paper nautical chart and a parallel plotter measures distance, now we need a chart with known speeds and we can figure out our position, heading or destination using dead-reckoning. Run a measured nautical mile every 250 RPM's and record the time to make an RPM Chart.
good nite

Maybe they might make it after all:
Not if the irresponsible Press keeps up its current behavior.
Why, when the Press constantly refuses to identify the names, the religions, the motives, or the photo's of the perps, do they then turn around and publish for every Tom, Dick, and Muhammed in the world to see, the following about the Cop who killed the Cambrils Jihadi's:
---A front page photo showing the back of his head with a big red circle around it thus making it very easy to identify him,
---His special background training in elite Special Forces, making it easier to identify him and putting a target on his Special Forces Unit
---Describing him as a married Father, thus letting the bad guys know he has a wife and kids, further helping to identify him and making it known there are some other targets close to him that can be hit as revenge, and to send a message to future cops who might try to stop perps---beware.
---it adds this: After leaving the armed forces he joined the Catalan police force Mosses ddoesquadra
---and this: He was not meant to be on duty on Thursday night Now we knows schedule.
Why do we know any of that? What is the purpose? They even add this:
The married father, who has not been named for security reasons, served with the Legion - an elite infantry unit of the Spanish army.
So they know that identifying him is dangerous, yet they do it anyway, including placing a big red circle around his head, a thousand times more deadly than anything even the Times this Sarah Palin did.
The Media ought to be shot for such grow irresponsibility.

That modest proposal that the villain in tbat ghosted James Patterson private series might actually have a point, this is a declared lie intensity conflict going on in Europe, many of the minions deal hashish, and that is how they fund many of these operations, there was a very well departed style series set in ceuta, called the Prince about an undercover operation trying to take down the aforementioned dealer and terrorist.

If someone is jamming the nav signals I would be surprised. That these events have all happened to the same class of ship makes me think it's something else. However, it would still be nice if the GPS Block IIIA satellites hadn't been delayed for three years (so far).

My power is out at the lake, which means my burglar alarm went off, which means I bounced about a foot in the air when that happened, but I digress...
I'm enjoying a bonus martini on the veranda under the stars with an assist from my solar powered garden lights. I'm fancy like that. :)

Beasts,
Insty says it's the 4th Naval Incident since February:
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING? .10 missing, 5 injured after USS John S. McCain collides with tanker in Pacific
“This crash came days after the top three leaders aboard the USS Fitzgerald were relieved of command. That warship was damaged badly in a collision off the coast of Japan that killed seven sailors in June. . . . This marked the fourth mishap for U.S. Navy ships in the Pacific since February. Aside from the USS McCain and USS Fitgerald incidents, the Navy crusier USS Antietam ran aground dumping over 1,000 gallons of oil in Tokyo Bay in Februray. In May, another cruiser, USS Lake Champlain, hit a South Korean fishing vessel.”
Posted by: daddy | August 21, 2017 at 02:34 AM
From Insty's link:
An active-duty Navy officer expressed concern to Fox News over the training of young Navy officers aboard ships.
“It’s not the same level of training you used to get,” the officer said.
Posted by: daddy | August 21, 2017 at 02:41 AM
Hey, daddy! Interesting that you note training. Someone at The Horde observed that the crew spends so much time on diversity training and other non-mission related bullshit that they didn't see how there weren't more incidents. Hopefully no transitioning sailors had their dresses wrinkled during the collision...
