Posted in: Movie armorer challenges conviction in fatal shooting of cinematographer by Alec Baldwin See in context

but baldwin didn’t do any hiring of crew.

the armourer was woefully negligent. it was all her responsibility. any fool off the street would know to have no live ammunition on set and ensure only blanks were loaded.

she even allowed other crew members to fire live rounds with the weapon for fun during breaks.

they were rehearsing the scene when the cinematographer was killed. she told baldwin to aim directly at her.

during the filming of the scene, baldwin was supposed to do the same thing and fire the weapon. she would have been killed then.

it was not an accident, it was pure negligence on the part of the armourer.

trump’s doomsday clock is clicking down from two weeks now until new york throws a padlock on trump tower and seizes the new york bank accounts that he got caught trying to transfer out against the orders of the court.

you think he’s nuts now, wait until that happens. he’s going to go off the deep end.

i, for one, can’t wait to watch. it’ll be epic.

more evidence that trump overvalued assets.

surety companies would be lining up to make a deal to get the fees if trump’s liquid and property assets were anywhere near enough.

too many other debt holders on the existing properties. he’s short of cash and securities, too. he lives on debt.

just proves he’s all hat and no cattle.

Why do you need to spend money to look at a tree? Sakura are everywhere here.

why have an onigiri near a lonely tree or two, when you can spend money to travel and buy a more expensive bento while jammed packed with thousands of other people?

military cemeteries around the world are filled with people who killed. while yasukuni inters the souls similarly.

it’s a dichotomy, though - honoring those souls and a military museum. old soldiers around the world wear uniforms and medals. some people have re-enactments of battles dressed in the uniforms and gear of the time. you don’t see that in japan.

japan has always been subject to a double standard. the british, french, dutch, united states colonized (invaded) half of the world. it was the thing to do in the first half of the century by western countries.

you think western troops occupying all of s.e. asia and the pacific were there on vacation?

it’s us democracy and free market at work. all it takes is lobbying money and campaign contributions and politicians are happy to latch onto something to shake their fists at.

a couple of possibilities.

if momentary loss of electrical power occurs, the autopilot may disengage. the aircraft may return to a previous trim setting.

or the pilots could overreact control input to the out of trim condition after the autopilot disengages.

either way, wear you darn seatbelt if you're in your seat. unfortunately, flight attendants are always vulnerable.

the war was over 79 years ago.

what was, was.

what is, is.

the japanese sdf, a military for all practical purposes, hasn’t harmed anyone in 79 years.

on another note, i found the movie tedious, too long, too dark and too loud with the same awful background music for three hours. it won oscars because no good movies have been made in years. the best of the worst, but still dreadful.

Posted in: Monday will be 13 years since the March 11, 2011 disaster. If you were in Japan, what are your memories of that day? See in context

i lived in ibaraki and was driving home from a golf renshujo. the car was bouncing, a large plate glass on a storefront shattered next to the car, and people were piling out of the stores. found out later that the ceiling above where i was at the renshujo collapsed.

power was out and cell phones were down. not much damage at home because we always had earthquakes under us. was lucky because no one had water just 1/2 km north.

no power, no heat, no lights, wrapped in blankets, waiting for the next aftershock after aftershock, not knowing how big it would be and thinking how helpless it felt. no control over what nature would do next.

we had power come on for short times, then more each day after. being directly downwind of fukushima and watching on tv the attempt to drop water on the plant with a helicopter, i realized we were screwed.

it was time to plan my escape from japan.

copyrights are owned by the writers(s). if you sign away your rights to a publisher, you’ve created the problem.

everybody knows that owning the copyright is where the money is, not performance rights. people sign with a universal or someone else and have gotten screwed as long as there’s been music. they make their money from concerts, while the publisher make money while they’re sleeping.

we’re in a new age where people can use social media to build a following and still sell their music on spotify and apple tunes. the more they’re heard on social media, the more they sell.

the music publishing business is an archaic business model.
