“Honey, it locked up again and I’ve gotta go, real bad.”

There’s something about designers who insist on taking a concept that works and trying to fix it. Just because it’s different, doesn’t necessarily make it better, and this is a great example.

Yeah, it looks cool, and it takes up less space than a regular bathroom with a toilet and a shower, but look closer at what it takes away.

–The floor and all walls of the room need to be waterproofed, and it has to have a floor drain.
–All electrical fixtures, switches and outlets need to be waterproof, too.
–The floor is always cold. And wet.
–Forget mildew problems. Now you have water deposits to clean.
–To clean it, you need a ladder… and machine oil.
–No grooming mirror in front of the lavatory so you might as well do it in a dark closet.
–The toilet seat will always be wet. No furry seat cover cozies for you!
–Forget about a toilet paper dispenser. You better remember to fish it out of the linen cabinet every time.
–Women have no countertop space to display all 31 beauty enhancement products and accouterments.
–Men have no place to set their beer while they pee into the floor drain.

Now, if it had a single button that springs everything into a usable configuration, that might be cool, except when the power goes out. In other words, it’s another great example of pure efficient genius, and just the thing for an Overnight Open Thread.

    That’s a much more complicated version of something I saw in Saudi Arabia back in 1990.

    The compound we stayed in for the first couple of weeks we were there had combination toilets and showers, but it was the typical middle eastern hole in the floor…

    They are stuck on that. Making a simple system complicated.

    “Designs” like this always make me think the person who created it, is more obsessed with looking clever and cute than really concerned with how it is going to work.
    See how great it lines up. hmmmm. ok But just how functional is it. How easy is it to swing those components around? How easy is it to clean it.

    I’ll eat salads but I’ve never been fond of lettuce. It doesn’t have much flavor and I like my veg to have their own flavor before I put any seasonings on them.

    LOL, you are exactly right. There is only so much you can do to diminish basic designs and expect them to work. Seriously, I really want to see the design for a bicycle that is crimped, cramped and reduced to a foldable item than can fit in a shirt pocket. I know a guy who is trying. LOL

    I find the organic baby spring mix I buy for my tortoise (and I eat as well) has a variety of different greens that each have their own unique flavors. I’ve eaten the different kinds of greens plain (no dressing) just to see what they taste like. But for Greek salad, I do it sans lettuces of any kind.

    @ savages_girl:

    Actually, dogs have relatively few taste buds, compared to humans. Something like 1/3 as many, as I recall.

    That’s why they’ll eat just about anything.

    Actually, dogs have relatively few taste buds, compared to humans. Something like 1/3 as many, as I recall.

    That’s why they’ll eat just about anything.

    Really? I did not know that. I thought maybe their sense of taste was like their sense of smell – more heightened than humans.

    Hmmm, learn something new every day.

    By the last recipe she seemed pretty happy.
    That’s pretty cool. She created her own therapy.

    I had my first experience with that when I was about 29. I went to lunch with this girl who was about 21 or so. On the way back, a Don Henley song came on the radio.

    She asked who the singer was, and I told her, “It’s Don Henley…used to be with the Eagles.”

    She said, “Oh, yeah…I remember them. My mom listens to them.”

    That was pretty much the end of that…

    When I was 19 my boyfriend at the time was 31. When I was 24 I had a boyfriend who was a jazz drummer (amongst other things) and he was 48. He was a handful and a real pain in the ass. Both husbands were way older than me…way…

    Savage is the few guys I’ve dated who was near my age… it’s kind of refreshing to date someone in my age range… of course, he’ll probably never come visit me again…

    My co-partner in crime at work is young enough to be my son (if I had had a child at 18). We play music trivia sometimes… well, basically, he can name songs in about 1-3 notes, and I’m still trying to figure out who it is, but when it comes to “the oldies” or country, he doesn’t have a clue, so I usually have a chance. We were out to lunch and I switched the station to the oldies station and Linda Ronstadt’s “Heat Wave” came on. I was like, “LindaRonstadtHeatWave Yoo-HOO!” because I actually got one in on him. He looks at me and shrugs and goes, “WHO?”

    sometimes you “outgrow” people and start a new phase in life… I think that’s the down-side of being in any relationship, but especially when there is a significant age difference. It’s not good or bad, it’s just something that happens… people just gorw and mature at different rates. There’s really no telling if it will happen in your relationship or not – it’s just the chance we all take by getting in relationship, no matter what the ages are… at least that’s been my experience.

    Yup. He had a rare form of cancer in his eyes, and they were removed when he was under a year old.

    He died of cancer at 41.

    LOL, you are exactly right. There is only so much you can do to diminish basic designs and expect them to work. Seriously, I really want to see the design for a bicycle that is crimped, cramped and reduced to a foldable item than can fit in a shirt pocket. I know a guy who is trying. LOL

    The thing is, they weren’t meant to be used as phones. That’s a secondary function. Same as the iPhone.

    I remember reading an article somewhere a few years ago where they were talking about the fact that modern cell phones basically suck as phones, and all the manufacturers know it. It’s because they were designed to be video players, or game machines, or whatever, first, and phones second.

    I’ve got TCM on right now – the Stones movie. Man, this is already an old flick,can’t imagine what their up to now. Sooo many years have gone by. I grew up on these guys. back int he 70′s I passed up going to see them more than once could i felt they had passed their prime. No doubt they put on good shows but once jaggers voice ‘changed’ I couldn’t get into it anymore. Now, tonight,after so many years of not listening to them, I can’t help but think what younger kids must make of this film. At least the kids that watch these amateur ‘star maker’ shows/competitions ! Jagger sounds even worse then I remember !! ‘Vocalist’ maybe ?? Certainly not a ‘singer’ ! And people shell out big bucks for these concerts. I’d do better singing his songs with a karaoke (sp ?) machine…. I know part of its ‘the legend’ etc but I’m sitting here wondering if one of my kids were to walk in right now that they’d be horrified at the sound coming through my speaker system and wonder where my ‘taste’ comes from. Absence hasn’t made anything any fonder – just makes me think “what were we thinking ?”.
    One of my all time fav ‘country’ songs will always be ‘Dead Flowers’.
    Hank Jr they ain’t but for some scruffy little dudes from London, they did pretty darn good with it. I used to go see Aerosmith even before “Dream On’ was a hit.The first time I saw them in some college gym., I thought they were the aires to the Stones throne. Now Aerosmith has retired ! Excuse this old timers rambling please…I can’t help myself, its just that time of ‘life’. Where oh where did the time go ???

    Their cash registers a/k/a point-of-sale (POS) systems, no pun intended – evidently are tied into a computer network that provides credit/debit card validation as well as an interface to the kitchen and the inventory system. AFAIK, these these cash registers are not set up to work as free-standing units to accept cash only if the computer network is down.

    Yep and it will be a sad day for us all. Already feeling my age! :)

    It’s interesting that a lot of singers who make it, especially back in the day, it wasn’t all about their voices, but more about their energy and enthusiasm and feeling that they put into their songs. for example, Janis Joplin or Joe Cocker, for example. Same with The Stones – they put on a good show and they put their all into their music and performance. It’s all about the passion they put into doing what they do.

    You’re absolutely right! Just like Captain Beefheart!

    He’s supposed to be the next American Idol judge. That should be the end of that show.

    The saddest thing I ever saw on that show (not that I ever watched it much) was when they had Rod Stewart on last year.

    He gave the most pathetic performance I’ve ever seen (or heard). I really had to wonder if they even did a rehearsal or anything.

    @ mjazz:

    So your tortoise found you?

    I found Mr Tortoise for tonight and he is back safe and sound in his pad (a 40 gallon tank with nice soft bedding, his own palm tree and half-log and his own imitation rock food dish. Plus overheat heat lamp and UVB lighting.

    Actually, I got Olauf Tortoise (Or as I affectionately call him “Mr Tortoise) from Petco one day about 10 years ago. He is a Russian Wood Tortoise.

    I was thinking of getting one of these tortoises because they stay small and they don’t eat meat (I don’t have to feed them bugs). The first day I walked in to see them, they had a whole bunch of little Russian Wood tortoises, but the next time I went back, there was Mr Tortoise, all by himself. He was not the most colorful and he had a little dent in his shell (probably an injury incurred when he was captured as a young tortoise)and they had put out dried bread for him (this is not part of their diet). He looked so depressed and I could just feel this lonely depression from him. I couldn’t stand it. I bought him and all the equipment I needed to bring him home right then and there. I couldn’t leave him there. Then I had coupons for him and equipment and I had to wheel and deal with the manager on it all. Next thing I know, I was taking him home and re-arranging my dining room to make room for his tank. And making sure he was getting a proper tortoise diet. I still remember seeing him that day. He was a lot happier after a few days of being with me.

    About a month after I got him, I went to a Petco in another town and found a little girl tortoise, who I named Cassie Tortoise. So there was Olauf and Cassie Tortoise. She was a little pistol. He wasn’t so happy to have here there at first and ignored her until she plopped herself in front of him in his food dish! She was half his size. She ended up growing to be TWICE AS BIG as him and would boss him around. She died last year from unknown causes. Broke my heart. It was the day I was having neck surgery. I cried and cried.

    Since then, Mr. Tortoise has been on his own. The vet said he’d be ok being an only tortoise and quite frankly, after about a month, he started coming out of his shell (no pun intended). It was a little crowded in their tank with the two of them, so he is better off on his own without the competition of another tortoise. I make sure to talk to him everyday and he watches me and the cats from his tank. I like to make sure he gets out now and then to walk around my place because in tortoises like to get out and move around a lot. He’s a pretty cool little guy! I’ve grown quite fond of him.

    Really? First I’ve heard of that.

    I’ve heard talk of Bret Michael from Poison replacing Simon Cowell, but then there was some other guy in the running for that too.

    It will be a whole new show just about when it comes to the judges. Just not the same.

    They threw in some old Zep stuff too. Welcome to the ’00s right ?
    At least hes not regurging the same old ‘hits’. The ‘Mighty Rearranger’
    (Plant/Strange Sensation band) was really a pretty dang good CD. I was surprised at how well HIS voice held up after all the high register singing he did over the years.

    @ mjazz:

    That’s a pretty informative link you have there. I wonder if I could keep one outside in a pen and bring it in in the winter.

    Yes, actually you can.

    In parts of the country where the climate is decent you can build them an outdoor enclosure. A couple of my books (well, at least one of them) goes into detail about how to do it and what you should have for them, etc. The more space they have, the better.

    Also, some people will let them hibernate and you can ease them into hibernation. I’ve never felt comfortable doing that, although during the winter when there is less light, my tortoises have gone into their own “hibernation” for a while where they’ve burrowed in their bedding and stayed asleep for days or weeks. Hibernation is not necessary for their survival, so I try to keep the lighting in the tank and in the room in a way to mimic a normal day and night pattern. Also temperature. One end of the tank pretty warm (80′s) other end cooler and no heat (around 70′s). That way they can move about and regulate their body temperature. Plus he’s got his half log he can go under when he wants a little darkness and shade…

    He just played here with Carlos Santana (Woodstock memorial or whatever…). I was invited but didn’t go. Read the reviews the next day and both apparently blew the crowd away – Santana they say out did his original Woodstock performance beyond anyones expectations. i guess the drummer from the original gig played with him. He was only 16 -17 (?) when he played Woodstock. Same age as I was actually. Windwood was 16 with Spencer Davis – sang Gimme Some Lovin’ like a 50 something year old soul man from the south side…
    Kinda wish now I went ….

    The guy who’s singing with Boston now was working in a Home Depot when they found him. His wife posted some videos of him singing their stuff on Youtube or somehting, and they found him.

    That’s funny.

    Yeah, I know a lot of singers get vocal nodes and have to stop singing to let their vocal chords heal and sometimes require surgery to fix their vocal chords.

    I’ve always loved drums. I wanted to play them when I was a kid, but my older brother made me feel so guilty about having my mom buy me a used drum set for $90 that I just never learned drums.

    So I played guitar (folk, country, a little rock). Not hard core rock and roller… I never got that good… just average…

    And song wrote…

    I saw Boston about 6 – 7 years ago. brad had a ‘back up’ singer for the high notes as well as several young guitarists. Shultz brought his young big boobed bass playing girl friend along of the tour. It SUCKED so bad I raised hell trying to get my money back. Shultz had his gf perform her original material too. I was obnoxious — I was sooo pissed !! Kept yelling for her to take her top off !! hey, it was embarrassingly obvious that she had ‘surgery’ and he (Shultz) was making a fool out of himself with her. We paid good money to see ‘Boston’ – not her.And she royally sucked.Forgot to list this one with the Stewart and Ramones rant above !!

    I’m down to 3 sets now. Thinkin’ about selling ‘em all off as my boys don’t seem too interested in them. I have my 1st set too. Vintage Premeirs with a ‘Royal Ace’ picollo snare. Could fetch me some good $ on ebay. Some days I’m into ‘em, others not so much. i’m done with clasic rock really. been trying my hand at….oh sh*t, how do I say this LOL ???? J*zz…..ok, i’m finished here now right ?? LOL !!! I need more of a challenge actually, rock is just so old hat. Unless I’m in a rare nostalgic mood i really get bored with it all these days. I have guitars, keyboard and still fool around with my 1st love” the harp. Mouth that is ala Marine Band. I was a BIG Chicago blues fanatic for years….
    Seriously, the whole lib/music thing is a big turn off to me now a days. they ruined it with their BIG FRIGGIN MOUTHS LOL !! Shut the F up and sing !! LOL !!
    Don’t know how I managed to come to my senses early on and ‘escape’.
    Think I got sick of all the excesses that went along with it all ruining peoples lives. I have many dead ex musician friends. Thats the other thing – no one left to play with anyhow LOL !! Seriously, all but one are gone !!

    My younger brother is a saxophonist. He has his regular job, but he’s been playing gigs for over 25 years. He plays with a 30 piece swing band and also with a jazz quartet. He’s recorded a CD with the swing band and he was the lead sax. I think he’s pretty good, but I am biased.

    Hey a quick drive-by. Unbelievable, more evidence of north korea, is highly dysfunctionality:

    North Korean football team shamed in six-hour public inquiry over World Cup

    North Korea’s football team has been shamed in a six-hour public inquisition and the team’s coach has been accused of “betraying” the reclusive leader’s heir apparent following their failure at the World Cup, according to reports.

    The entire squad was forced onto a stage at the People’s Palace of Culture and subjected to criticism from Pak Myong-chol, the sports minister, as 400 government officials, students and journalists watched.

    The players were subjected to a “grand debate” on July 2 because they failed in their “ideological struggle” to succeed in South Africa, Radio Free Asia and South Korean media reported.

    The team’s coach, Kim Jong-hun, was reportedly forced to become a builder and has been expelled from the Workers’ Party of Korea.

    The coach was punished for “betraying” Kim Jong-un – one of Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il’s sons and heir apparent.

    The country, in its first World Cup since 1966, lost all three group games – including a 7-0 defeat to Portugal.

    The broadcast of live games had been banned to avoid national embarrassment, but after the spirited 2-1 defeat to Brazil, state television made the Portugal game its first live sports broadcast ever.

    Following ideological criticism, the players were then allegedly forced to blame the coach for their defeats.

    Only two players avoided the inquisition – Japanese-born Jong Tae-se and An Yong-hak, who flew straight to Japan after the tournament.

    However, media in South Korea said the players got off lightly by North Korean standards.

    “In the past, North Korean athletes and coaches who performed badly were sent to prison camps,” a South Korean intelligence source told the Chosun Ilbo newspaper.

    Some types of turtles do hibernate during the winter. If they can’t make a den outdoors they’ll find whatever looks suitable indoors.
