Step into my time machine week 87

‘Twas the time machine before Christmas, and the news continued quiet.  The temperature dropped throughout the day, the wind got things bitter cold, and with barely an inch of snow on the ground, by 9 pm we hit 5 degrees with a wind chill of –10.  (Of course, it got into the thirties by the big day, with no further snow.)  And within the time machine, we saw the return of an unusual song from a Where Are They Now past, the return of the #49 curse, the King of Jazz (and no, it’s not Louie Armstrong), And we connect Leo Sayer with former pro wrestler Dick The Bruiser!  Let’s have at it, shall we?

10 songs debut this week in two groups of five (90-94 and 96-100).  The first group featured a returnee- Dickie Lee’s 9,999,999 Tears, which re-enters after peaking at 67 and falling off last week.  Thelma Houston’s Don’t Leave Me This Way comes in at 92, and the novelty hit In The Mood by the Henhouse Five (plus Two), in which the vocals were particularly fowl (Tee Hee) comes in at 94.  The second group included chick magnet Tom Jones with Say You’ll Stay Until Tomorrow at 97; and at 99, reggae band Boney M hits with their version of Daddy Cool, which featured on this program a few weeks back on the Little River Band WATN, when a proto-LRB going by the name of Drummond did a chipmunk version of the song.

In addition to the crew turning thirty-five, here are our other birthday songs.  Three Dog Night’s Never Been To Spain, War’s Slippin’ Into Darkness, and Climax’s Precious And Few all turn forty this week. Turning 55 is Pat Boone’s Don’t Forbid Me, along with an oddity that turns both 55 and 60.  We all know the English folk tune Greensleeves, if for no other reason  than the use of it's tune in the carol What Child Is This.  Well this week in 1956, the Beverley Sisters entered the (top 50) chart at #37 with Greensleeves- and in 1951, Mitch Miller’s Orchestra came in at #38- thus we have a nearly 500-year-old song turn both 55 and 60 this week!

I forgot about the grandpa chair last week, probably because She’s Gone was still in it.  It still is, at least for one more week, but this time it’s also our biggest dropper- falling 31 spots to #79.  Our big mover is at 54, up 18- Steve Miller’s Fly Like An Eagle.

Well, we have a problem with the WATN segment, as #49 is occupied for the second time in three weeks by the Beatles Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.  As Disco Duck lies above it at #48 (and the last time I went THERE, I got Bill Shatner’s Bohemian Rhapsody), we’ll slide down to the #50 hole, where we find the Bay City Rollers with Yesterday’s Hero.

BCR has been around for a long time, but there are five guys that make up the “classic lineup”. Bass Guitarist Alan Longmuir lives in Scotland with wife Eileen.  He’s been in ill health for years, having suffered a heart attack in 1995 and a stroke two years later.  His brother Derek was the drummer, and since his retirement in 1981 became a nurse in Edinburgh, where he lives still.  For several years he has been fighting allegations of possessing child porn, which he and his family claims was a set-up by an obsessed American fan.  Lead guitar Eric Faulkner still tours with his version of the band, Eric Faulkner’s Bay City Rollers.  Rhythm Guitarist Stuart “Woody” Wood and wife Denise also live in Edinburgh, where they produce Celtic music, such as Julienne Taylor’s A Heart Within, released this summer.  Lead singer Les McKeown has struggled- with drugs (acquitted in 2006 on drug dealing charges); alcohol (he was the subject of UK reality show Rehab, based at an LA clinic); and other things (he recently discussed in an interview his bisexual relationship with manager Tam Paton, who was convicted of gross indecency with a minor boy in 1982 and died two years ago).  He lives with his wife Peko in Hackney, England, and tours with Les McKeown’s Legendary Bay City Rollers.

Yet another oddity occurs with the top 40 debuts- two of them, and I didn’t remember either one!  I did kinda recognize Tavares’ Don’t Take The Music (coming in at 40, up 3)once I played it; not so Earth Wind And Fire’s Saturday Nite (up 6 to 36).

Two songs enter the top ten, two fall out. Dropping are Muskrat Love (7 to 15) and Nights Are Forever Without You (10 to 19).

Checking in on #1s this week in yesteryear, I saw a name come up over and over in the twenties- one Paul Whiteman.  Paul “pops” Whiteman was the most popular bandleader of the 20’s, and by 1934 he had collected some 32 #1 songs.  Whiteman was known as the “King of Jazz” by such experts on the subject as Duke Ellington.  Jazz traditionalists, though, were put off by his eliminating of the impromptu aspect, carefully arranging every song.  In 1926 he hired three up-and-coming vocalists he dubbed the Rhythm Boys- which gave his big break to a rhythm boy named Bing Crosby.  Out of those 32 #1s, 6 of them were at #1 this week- 1920’s Whispering (an 11-week #1 with some 700 covers, including being the lead tune on the recent WATN featuree Whispering/Cherchez Le Femme/ Ci Ci Bon by Dr. Buzzard’s outfit) ; 1921’s Say It With Music (5 weeks at #1); 1922’s Three O’Clock In The Morning (8 weeks); 1924’s Somebody Loves Me (5 wks); 1926’s The Birth Of The Blues (4 wks); and 1929’s Great Day (2 weeks).

ELO gets into the top ten as Living Thing moves up one to #10.  Brick comes in at 9, up 3, with Dazz.  Elton John creeps up a spot to #8 with Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.  Mr. Humperdink moves up a notch to #7 with After The Loving.  The Bee Gees slip a notch to #6 with Love So Right; Burton Cummings flips spots with them at #5 with Stand Tall.  The Spinners lose a spot with Rubberband Man sliding down to 4; Marilyn and Billy take that spot with You Don’t Have To Be A Star at #3.  The world trembles as Rod Stewart finally steps down from the top spot, going to #2 with Tonight’s The Night.
Which leaves us the new #1, Leo Sayer’s You Make Me Feel Like Dancing.

This wonderful song that I love SO much was co-written by Vini Poncia, another of those all over the place types who produced the Peter Criss album when Kiss did their four solos.  Criss brought him over for the next Kiss album, Dynasty, and Poncia fired Criss for substandard drumming.  Criss was replaced by Anton Fig, and you might wonder why that name sounds familiar.  Well, he’s the drummer for David Letterman’s house band, led by Paul Schaeffer.  Before they moved to CBS with Dave, the ensemble was known as the World’s Most Dangerous Band, a tribute to one of Dave’s (and mine) childhood heroes- the late, great pro wrestler Dick “the Bruiser” Afflis.


And with that, we return to the humdrum life we left behind in 2011.  Tune in Saturday for the seventies countdown.

More fun with wastebook

Here, for your reading pleasure, are four more stories (paraphrased by yours truly) cribbed from Senator Tom Coburn's Wastebook report.  Afterwards, a Lokomotiv update.

#96 on the list:  Montana State University received a $742,907 grant to study how "targeted sheep grazing" could help organic farmers to get rid of their weeds without herbicide or tilling.  Once they do this detailed study on watching sheep eat, they plan to offer 2 new courses on their findings.  Get that?  $742, 907 to figure out that sheep eat weeds and to offer two entire courses to explain that sheep will eat weeds to students.  Martin savings:  The American Sheep Industry Ass'n. has a booklet on this very subject, on sale for $25.  Might seem a bit stiff of a price to read that sheep eat weeds, but, hey, you could buy one for every student in the university for $353,825- a savings of $ 389,082.

#94- The National Science Foundation was granted $338, 998 to study " the impact of women on Icelandic textile industry from Viking times to the 19th century."  Talk about a total waste!!! Give that money back so we can buy targeted sheep grazing booklets for the poor dumb kids at MSU!

#91- a group of researchers lead by Yerkes National Primate Research Center are using part of a $600,000 grant to figure out why captive chimps through poop at visitors.  One of the allied researchers is William Hopkins of Agnes Scott College ( an all-girls school who doesn't even have a football team!), who has also spent your tax dollars on determining whether a chimp is right or left handed and what effect that has on "reproductive success".  Now, as I recall, the tour at Black Pine animal sanctuary in Albion told us they through poop when the observer does something to disturb them or piss them off.  Regular tours go for $7.00 in the summer.  Martin savings- $599,993- less if you buy a pop or some food for the goats and camels.

#90- Once again, our friends at USAID.  $15 million/yr for last three years to "aid the families of civilians killed in the war in Afghanistan".  When the OIG audited their base last year, among the unconscionable things they found:
- absolutely no record keeping;
- piles of rat infested "food";
- "large quantities" of food that expired in 2004 (the program began in 2007);
- "program employees failed to verify delivery on at least THREE QUARTERS of all alleged assistance sent out."
-Wastebook had a picture of an ENTIRE WAREHOUSE full of rusted, twisted, wheelbarrows piled on top of each other.  In trying to copy this pic (which I failed to figure out for about a half-hour), I stumbled onto the actual OIG's report, which has even more disturbing pictures and data- if you dare.

USAID is quite obviously such a slipshod outfit, We could save a LOT of money just by dismantling them altogether.  How much I could not accurately determine, but it has to be somewhere between 3.1 and 39.5 BILLION DOLLARS.
Now, USAID will say in it's defense, and somewhat rightly so, that with the good that USAID does do, simply eliminating them is like tossing the baby out with the bathwater.  But, just like with Second Mile, if you know there's a sexual predator in the henhouse and you do nothing about it, sorry for your luck.  Burn it all down and replace it with someone who can deliver more than 25% of the time.

____________________________

Yesterday morning (our time), New Lokomotiv lost their first game in a valiant effort.  Trailing after one period, Raphael Akhhmetov tallied his first at 5:49 of the second to tie it at 1-1.  Four minutes later, Molot Prikamye Perm re-took the lead, but Oleg Yashin got his second as a Loko at 2:06 of the third to tie it at 2-2.  They went to OT, but we let the puck loose infront of our own net right off the bat, and Maxim Verevkin scored just 28 seconds in to win the game for Perm 3-2.  Nikolai Lozhkin had another great game, handling 23 of 26 shots.

“Lord, what fools these mortals be…”

And Puck was never more correct than this is applied to the idiocy in our government these days.  I understand, the Tea Party wants things done under a strict constitutional and financially sane basis.  I understand that the Left side of the aisle wants to protect the interests of their constituency.  But in between the “pass no law that doesn’t complete the job” on one side and the “we can’t cut funds for this necessary and important project- we must raise taxes instead”  are people like the lady interviewed on CBSNews tonight, who got laid off from IBM 24 weeks ago and because Senate Dems keep saying “one man’s waste is another man’s treasure”, and House Republicans aren’t bright enough to say, “y’know, sometimes standing on principles can be accomplished in baby steps”, she’s going to have NO INCOME in about two weeks.

Now, the rub of this is, is that many will say, “She must be willing to take a lesser job.”  And that is right;  she, and many others, must be willing to scale down.  She’s going to have to make changes in her lifestyle to accommodate a lesser income.  We did it;  Laurie and I haven’t always been in the veritable paradise that is Woodbridge.  In fact, in between  the home abandoned to bankruptcy and here, we were living in the “scale down” capital of Allen County.

  Our “neighborhood” was the very same that the FWPD was shooting at when they were missing their targets in the firing range.  (And, may I point out, they would have had to clear about three streets worth of trailer park to hit a living thing.  The back of the park were the trashed out trailer shells that squatters, opossums, and termites took a pass on.)  Our trailer featured: a front door whose base was about ready to rot out; two toilets with lists to one side severe enough that you couldn’t spare a hand to read the paper; a water heater that leaked so bad it had to be replaced after less than a week (supposedly just installed); pipes that froze upon hearing the forecast of below-freezing temps, along with a water meter that shattered on four different occasions; neighbors that had to be dissuaded from stealing the Sunday paper by my stuffing a decoy full of dog poop (which they took twice before learning the lesson); and management that made us sit for three weeks before accepting an inquiry call from Woodbridge.  So, yeah, we get scale down.

But here’s the thing-  ever go to your mortgageholder and say, “I’m not making as much as I did last month.  How about you let me find a “scaled-down” home and let me pay a scaled down payment”?  Yeah, that’s not so easy.  And it’s people like that, chained to mortgages and loans they can no longer afford, that are getting hurt.  We hear a lot about underwater mortgages and what Washington wants to do to fix them, but what good can they do when the only way to “scale down” your payments is in bankruptcy court?

And everyone is all about the big ways to cut spending- get rid of the Department of (insert name here, Rick Perry), slash the military, etc.  But Tom Coburn (R-OK) has just shown a better way- he has released his latest copy of Wastebook, where he lists his top 100 wastes of our money.  I had the idea of going through this bit by bit, until I’ve milked it for all the entertainment value I can, so you can see and enjoy where your money is really going.  Tonight, I thought I’d look at a couple of items from one of my (and I’m sure one of your) favorite places to waste money- that valuable and trustworthy ally of ours, Pakistan.
#1:
13) Remake of “Sesame Street” for Pakistan – (U.S. Agency for International
Development) $10 Million
In 2010, Rafi Peer Theatre Workshop, a Pakistani arts organization,was awarded $20 million over the next four years,  to create ―130 episodes of an indigenously produced Sesame Street.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) provided the first $10 million for the project in FY 2011. The Pakistan Sesame Street would be produced in cooperation with Sesame Workshop , creators of the original Sesame Street.
According to news sources, the show will be renamed ―SimSim Humara and set in a lively village in Pakistan with a roadside tea and snacks stall, known as a dhaba, some fancy houses with overhanging balconies along with simple dwellings, and residents hanging out on their verandas.
The only character adopted from the original Sesame Street will be the furry red monster Elmo. The rest of the puppet cast will be made up of new local characters, including a conceited welldwelling
crocodile named Haseen O Jameel, a spirited adult woman, Baaji, who enjoys family time and tradition, and Baily, a hard-working donkey who longs to be a pop star.
Besides the television show, the grant also includes funding for the following:
 ―Radio programs based on the main puppet characters‖
 ―A dynamic website where children can ‗interact‘ with their favorite puppet characters‖
 600 events with ―live puppet performances using vehicles with trained puppeteers
performing shows‖
 600 events with ―mobile video vans displaying pre-developed puppet-based programs to
children and communities‖
 9,000 small gatherings involving ―thirty trained District Ambassadors playing video
shows using laptop computers.
The television and radio shows will include 78 shows in Urdu and 13 shows in each of the four major regional languages.

Answer me this- even assuming that this was doing anything other than teaching future America-hating terrorists how to read, how many of these children will have access to this “dynamic website,” once the “district Ambassadors” clear the square?  (Answer:  Pakistan has 4.24 PCs per 1,000 people, 158th out of 168 nations.)
Martin savings:  It would cost $2.69 billion to give every child under 14 a tickle me Elmo- and $1.21 billion to give each kid a Elmo hand puppet.  However, when you only give them to the 4.24 in 1,000 who have computer access (and thus might actually give a crap about Elmo), you cut those numbers to $11,429,686 and $5,143,358.  Thus, a potential savings of $4,856,642.
#2:

2) Mangled Mango Effort Could Hurt Farmers It Meant to Help –
(Pakistan) $30 Million
In 2009, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) undertook a four-year, $90 million effort to spur hiring and sales among Pakistani businesses. Two years later, the USAID
Inspector General (USAID OIG) found ―no measurable increases in sales and employment.
In four of five product areas USAID targeted – leather, livestock, textiles and dates – the agency abandoned its efforts roughly a year after it began them, with virtually nothing to show. For the
remainder of the project, it focused its effort (and funding) on the fifth product area: mangoes.
USAID‘s goal for mango farmers, to boost their sales by 20 percent, was as ill-fated as its grand plans for Pakistan‘s date farmers,
ranchers, and leather and textile manufacturers. Nearly $30 million into the project, the USAID OIG audited the effort and concluded it was not on track to achieve its main goal. The mango effort, which consisted of providing 13 mango farmers with equipment to clean, freeze and store mangoes, was ―stalled.
What brought the mango effort to a standstill? Although the contractor executing the project, Chemonics, stated it
had implemented several enhancements to mango production, the USAID OIG found only one farmer had received the promised
equipment, but could not operate it because
of a design flaw.
To make matters worse, the bungled effort could actually hurt the participating farmers by forcing them into default on loans they had taken out against expected sales that now may not happen, the OIG found.

So $30 mill later, USAID and Chemonics  couldn’t accomplish something you or I could have with a few $600 freezers and $25 K for ten billboards.  Savings by the Martin plan, $29,996,200.  And I priced the freezers at Lowes, so you know THEY’LL work.  Tune in next time for more “fun with government waste”.

Check this out!!

I figured out how to snag a still out of the KHL video of Lokomotiv's first goal, scored by Dmitry Maltsev.

  Needless to say, I also figured out how to get it on my desktop rotation.  Am I great or what?
(Note:  Do NOT answer that question!)

                    A FITTING MEMORIAL….

B2S TAKE DOWN RANGERS 53-21

In 1997, They were known as Butthead’s Wheel Runners, after my hamster at the time.  After his death, they were renamed the B2s (Butthead #2) after his successor.  The B2s are the hamster’s team, down through the years.  But Cassie was the last hamster (for now); and in the best of memorials, her team won Super Bowl XV.

The Sunset Rangers, exhausted after their very first playoff win last week, and bereft of 2/3 of their running back corps (note: Darren McFadden is, as the Bible says, “a broken reed”) the Rangers fell behind Thursday night on Roddy White’s 2 scores, and never got back into the game, trailing 44-2 after the early afternoon games.

At one point the total was up to 59, but two TDs and a FG got took off the board in about 15 minutes time.  Last weeks’ savior, Mason Crosby, was a dud, and Tom Brady (12 pts) couldn’t do it alone.

Even the struggling Bears added a defensive TD, and Brandon Marshall threw in a 9-pointer.  Arian Foster and Darrel Sproules added a score each, and K Dan Carpenter pitched in 12, more than making up for Eli Manning’s worst game all year.

For a while, it seemed that the B2s would shatter their own record for biggest rout in a Super Bowl, having won their other championship by a 52-12 win over the Beagles nine years ago.  The B2s end the year at 10-4,  While the Rangers close out their best year ever at 11-3.

Carved into the Super bowl trophy-  2011 B2s 10-4.

Sunday message

I’ve been kind of stuck for today’s message.  And it’s not that I’ve run out of prophecies concerning the coming (and now come) Messiah.  Psalms and Isaiah are full of passages that practically spell out His life on earth step by step.  But we here have been focusing not so much on the details but the nature of Prophecied Messiah.

We have seen His big picture ministry- the idea that it is the next life and not this one is where His focus is.  Through Moses we have seen He was to have two ministries on earth- to free His people from the grip of Satan and to lead them to the home He promised.  Through Melchizadek  we saw that He was separate from, and superior to, a simple mortal priesthood.  And last week we saw the gap between the mortal and divine perceptions of Messiah.

There are so many other ways to look at Messiah, too.  I was thinking over the presaging through Moses, and thought about the other man who stood with the Lord at the transfiguration, Elijah.  Elijah was a precursor as well, because in the moment after his greatest triumph, he suffered his greatest defeat, running for his life.  Jesus was acclaimed on Sunday and crucified on Friday.  But Elijah was renewed and returned, for a short time- long enough to anoint his successor (and a few others), and then drawn alive into heaven.  So, too, Jesus rose from death, anointed the Apostles, and ascended into heaven.  Throughout the Bible Jesus is explained not just in prophecy but in example.

And you know, He is not the only one described thus.  Look at this description of the Antichrist from Daniel:
Dan 11:37  He will not regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god. For he shall magnify himself above all.
I have mentioned in other posts the intertwining of radical LGBT and radical atheism.  I never knew it was predicted.  I am minded of Christopher Hitchens, the atheist supreme who died this week.  It always puzzled me how people like him could make the point, “ If God is real, why give us a mind that can question and learn and expect us to believe in Him on faith?”  Not so much for the question itself, but because they never seemed to ask the flip side question, “If God doesn’t exist, why did evolution drive us to develop a mind that can grasp the transcendental if there IS nothing transcendental?”  They can accept a naturally self-occurring universe with no logical starting point that they can reach, but on the other hand believe that the mind that can grasp a subject so far beyond visible reality just crumbles to dust at death.  Hitchens right now knows the answer to those questions, one way or another.  And when I think of him, I think of the ending of the parable of Lazarus and the rich man:

Luk 16:27  And he said, I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
Luk 16:28  for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luk 16:29  Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.
Luk 16:30  And he said, No, father Abraham, but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.
Luk 16:31  And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded, even though one rose from the dead.

Scientists base ideas of the multiverse on wild theories that they cannot conceive of a way to prove, and yet reject God for “lack of proof”.  And even as Christians, we long for things to be spelled out.  God had an answer to each.  For the scientists, He said:
Jer 31:37  So says Jehovah, If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be searched out, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says Jehovah.

Or to put it another way, When you get to the bottom of everything, THEN will My promises fail.  Good luck with that.

And for the believers, a little patience from Daniel:
Dan 12:8  And the words came to my ears, but the sense of them was not clear to me: then I said, O my lord, what is the sense of these things?
Dan 12:9  And he said, Go on your way, Daniel: for the words are secret and shut up till the time of the end;
Dan 12:10  Till a number are tested and make themselves clean; and the evil-doers will do evil; for not one of the evil-doers will have knowledge; but all will be made clear to those who are wise.

Hockey update- the game returns to Yaroslavl

Just a glancing blow to the KHL tonight, as they are currently on a 9-day “international break”.  Traktor from the eastern conference has taken over the overall lead, and is certainly pulling away as Amur continues to struggle to maintain their early pace.  Traktor leads by 12 in the East, with Avangard right on Amur’s tail.  Amur has shown a sign of life in a two-game set against Barys; though losing the first 5-2, they blew out Astana 7-1 in the second to go into the break.  Magnitogorsk continues to drive back into the race, winning 4 straight and putting the heat on both Barys and Ak Bars.  Poor Automobilst continues to struggle, posting a 4-20-6 record thus far, despite taking Traktor to OT last week.  And a shout out to Automobist captain Andrei Subbotin, who played his 1,000th top-level game in Russia in a 6-3 loss to Magnitogorsk.

SKA continues to hold a 9 point lead over Minsk in the west, with Dynamo Moscow trying to keep pace.  The other metro Moscow teams wish things were going that good.  CSKA (Red Army) lost 4 straight in December (1 in OT), and Spartak lost 10-2 and 5-1 decisions before an OT loss to close out the break.  Vityaz joins Automobilst with 20 losses (6-20-6).  Traktor is the only 20-win team at 20-7-5.

Now the big news is the return of hockey to Yaroslavl.  The reborn Lokomotiv team played its first two games this week, both at home. On Monday, 9047 fans packed into the arena and were not disappointed.  The opening opponent was Neftyanik  (the Oilmen) of Almetyeusk, an Ak Bars affiliate located just west of Kazan.  Dmitry Maltsev netted a goal at 13:19 of the first to put Loko on top 1-0.  In the second period, Oleg Yashin (who comes over after a 14 game stint at Titan Klin) got his 6th of the season at 2:41.  The third period was a big one.  Cyril Kasputin made it 3-0 at 2:01.  Then on a power play, Daniel Erdankov (coming off a 25-game run at Sokol) scored his 12th of the season to put it at 4-0.  Almetyeusk broke the shutout of Goalie Nikita Lozhkin (who stopped 22 of 23 shots) at 13:41, but justshy of three minutes later, Alex Kruchinin (who played 7 games at VMF St. Petersburg) netted his 5th of the year for a 5-1 final score.  Timothy Tankeev, who also came over from Klin, had a pair of assists as Loko scored 5 goals on just 19 shots.

Thursday a crowd of 9,000 saw Lozhkin be a 20-year-old master yet again, as he stopped all 28 shots in a 2-0 win over Ariada-Akpars of Vollzhsk ( a town halfway between Kazan and Ufa, affiliated with Neftekhimik).  Maltsev assisted on both goals, the first by Daniel Romantsev at 10:55 of the first, and the second by Maxim Zyuzyakin at 5:34 of the second.  Again, the new Lokomotiv team wasn’t especially active on offense (outshot 28-16) but Lozhkin was the hero, having stopped 40 of 41 shots in the two games.  Next game is Tuesday vs  Molot-Prikamye of Perm.
