Well now a major #NeverTrump publication wishes him to speak out against Venezuela. Silence is not an option.
The increasingly dystopian, socialist-led nation of Venezuela is again on fire. Rocked by social unrest that is being met with a violent response from police and pro-government forces, the regime of Nicholas Maduro is teetering. In tragedy, there is opportunity. President Donald Trump has been handed a chance to right one of the greatest injustices of Barack Obama’s presidency. By so far failing to speak out against Maduro’s brutal regime, however, Trump is repeating the mistakes of the past. In the last week, five Venezuelans—including a 13-year-old child—have been killed either by police or by the few “protesters” demonstrating violently in support of the government. The turmoil has been ongoing for the last two weeks and follows the failure of a virtual coup by a government desperately clinging to power.In an

Traditional men's jobs are fading away. Yet women's traditional jobs are increasing. Why more men will soon find themselves doing women's work.
Many fields that are traditionally dominated by women are set to expand in coming decades, while many jobs currently dominated by men are not. That's the result of new research published Wednesday by Jed Kolko, an economist at job search site Indeed, which shows that less-educated men may especially face challenges in the job market of the future. Jobs in the United States are still strongly divided by gender. A little more than one-third of men and a little less than one-third of women work in fields that are at least 80 percent staffed by their gender, according to census data analyzed by Kolko.
Going to the grocery store there are a couple of rows of snacks. We take the potato chip forgranted. Japan has a shortage of potato chips.
Thanks to a series of typhoons that hit northern Japan last year, the potato crop was poor, which has led to a very big problem this year: potato chip scarcity.
Projects. Sometimes they go right. Sometimes they don't. Even grade school students get miffed when something doesn't go right.
So I’m watching this Rube Goldberg contraption. It’s the shizzle. It rifles through Newton’s wastebasket, looking for new Laws of Motion after the first three aren’t enough to get the job done. It uses hydraulics, and electromotive force, and combustion, and every darn thing they can lay their hands on in the modern snouthouse. If it’s available at the mall, it’s integrated into the action. The hammer blow to turn on the power strip and start the fan is inspired. Then, after 6 full minutes of glorious time wasting, you introduce some sort of porcine progeny, a water balloon, and what sounds to my ear like an off-camera F-bomb, followed by a mumbled punchline that spoils the joke.Do you have a break room where you work? Do you have a kitchen where you work? Do you have thieves? Who stole all the forks?
It happened again recently. I made my way to the kitchen, opened the cutlery drawer, and ... nothing. No forks, no spoons, no teaspoons. Once again, I ate my salad with a soup spoon - which was retrieved dirty from the dishwasher. (Yes, I washed it.)Over protective parenting. Is the world more dangerous for kids than it used to be?
Is this the case? Are children today more likely to be assaulted, kidnapped, or killed than they were a few decades ago? Today we’ll take a nuanced look into the surprising answers to these questions.
Are you a hard worker? Are you dependable? Are you honest? If you answered "YES" to all of these, you may not be cut out to be a gubmint employee.
"Las Vegas-based Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official used his government credit card to purchase a $14,799 gym membership.
A conservative advocacy group released documents purporting to show EPA contracting officer Kevin Broadnax bought a 37-year membership at Super Sport gym on April 11, 2017. Broadnax used his government charge card to pay for his nearly $15,000 membership.
The sheer amount of paperwork related to the transaction suggests that multiple EPA officials were aware of the purchase."

April 17, 2007, Bryan Ferry was forced to make an apology after praising Nazi iconography in a German magazine. Talking to Welt am Sonntag, he said the Nazis "knew how to put themselves in the limelight and present themselves...I'm talking about the films of Leni Riefenstahl and the buildings of Albert Speer and the mass marches and the flags. Just amazing - really beautiful." British MPs asked shoppers to think twice about shopping in Marks and Spencer asking for Ferry to be dropped as the face of the M&S Autograph menswear collection. Ferry said he was "deeply upset" by the publicity surrounding the interview. via thisdayinmusic.com
Do you have a child in college? A niece, a nephew perhaps a grandchild? Do you know of young adult headed to college? Pass this along to them, a rebuttal of the white privilege claim.
If you are a white student in college, you doubtless hear daily that white people are evil, the principal cause of everything wrong with the world. Whiteness is bad, white people are bad. We are to blame for everything. If you believe this, you are being gamed. What you are being told is nonsense. If you have the intelligence and self-respect to think for yourself, ask: “What have other races and ethnic groups accomplished in the world compared to what we white people have?”

Canadians have reason to celebrate. Provinces agree to free trade.
So politicians from the regions and federal government were in a self-congratulatory mood after they signed a “Canadian Free-Trade Agreement” on April 7th. Brad Duguid, Ontario’s economy minister, who hosted the gathering, pronounced the deal “a major leap forward”. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business presented each of the ministers with its Golden Scissors Award for cutting red tape.

Methuselah passed it on to Noah and his family. That fueled the high energy building of the Ark.
Also side note about Shtooms. The Catholic Church hired and fired 2 or 3 people to study the Dead Sea scrolls and other documents that were found, and they came to the conclusion that the manna from heaven were hallucinogenic mushrooms. The Church fired them.

I presume it is possible that you can do all sorts of amazing things with drugs, especially with genetic screening becoming more of a thing - so it is likely just a matter of time until you can take a pill that gives you a low risk dopamine rush (or whatever other high you might want).

My memory is that Bush 43 had a chance to end the communist regime in Venezuela when they had their coup. But when he said no, everyone else said no as well, and they let Chavez back into power.
I was pretty sure it was a mistake at the time, and it clearly was one now.
When you have the chance to eliminate an enemy at no cost you should take it (cue Clinton letting Osama bin Laden go) but frankly America has been terrible at geopolitics since the 80s.
As for now, what should we do? Take videos of Venezuela and show them to school kids and tell them "This is your country on socialism. Any questions?"

It's also the "Facebook effect". People share vacation pictures, kids' graduations, engagements, stuff like that, so it leads you to believe that all your friends have better lives than you do. Half the time people are staring at their phones, they're reading an email that says their insurance claim won't cover half of what they need, or their kid's in jail again, or they're thinking "I'm one game of Candy Crush closer to the sweet embrace of death". We just assume that their lives are better than ours.

Inimai Chettiar (offers an contrasting point of view) director of the Justice Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, argued that arresting and incarcerating people is not the solution.

Which is kind of odd since California enacted the 'three strikes and you're out' law and crime went down. Then under Obama who released several hundred 'non-violent' convicted felons and murders went up.
Something of a mystery that people who don't obey the law commit more crimes. Of course, it isn't their fault as they are being oppressed by the white patriarchy who use the law to keep poor people poor. Which is understandable since we see how the progressives use the law and the courts to crush their political opponents.
I guess it becomes a matter of which gang you join.

Just got back from a vacation in Laughlin. It wasn't long enough IMHO-- drove there Friday, stayed Saturday, drove back yesterday-- but at least this time I had a reliable way home (via my family).
And my luck was horrible. Just a ton of bad cards at blackjack, idiot tourists in the Harrahs poker tournament, and I didn't go for any of the oddball table games.
Was still nice to get away though. I actually kind of like Bullhead City, I just wish they had an industry there besides the casinos in Laughlin, that aren't doing that great anymore.

And that is why I do not particpate in Facebook. Life is too short to be obsessing over other people. I already compare myself (unfavorably) to other people. I don't need to do it more.
Also.. I don't know if the Facebook obsessed are smart enough to be worrying about their kid in jail, their insurance or anything else real. I suspect many are totally superficial and are more worried that they don't have the same things that everyone else has, so they need new car/ clothes/ job/ whatever, and need to do things that cost a lot of money to impress everyone on Facebook.

Do we know that's a real Russian dating site picture?
If it is, maybe someone made her do it, so she got even by dressing like that. Perhaps she's really stunning, but does not want to be on that site at all, and decided to be "ironic" and such.
Or maybe she sent this picture to some creep in the US who her pervert Father is making her marry.
Or maybe she's a model and auditioning for a part in a horror movie; it does have a Carrie feel to it.

I accept that this is a picture from a Russian dating site if you say so Mis Hum.
However, I want to know the story behind it. It may very well be a straightforward dating pic, or it could be something else entirely.
Personally, I would rather think that she doesn't want to marry a foreigner and is dressed that way to keep men away instead of taking her at face value, ie, as an undernourished somewhat unattractive young woman who thinks that roses and axes go with a 1980's gown.

Agreed. The older cars were also distinctive in their design. Now I have a hard time telling a Ford Fusion from a Hyundai Sonata when I see them on the road. With other one of my older cars, I can pull the fan and shroud and stand in the engine compartment. No way I could do that with anything newer and then the seventies.

So I took the LED strip, minus the driver board, and hooked it up to my variable DC power supply. At about 60 volts, the LEDs kicked in, dimly, and at about 75 volts, they were drawing their rated 18 watts of power, and were brilliantly lit. So I deduced the driver needed to output 75 volts.
The driver is pretty simple; just a full-wave bridge rectifier with a capacitor to filter the resulting DC. Positive rail goes right to the lamp strip, negative rail is mediated by a tiny 8-pin surface-mount IC. That IC gets a read on output voltage via a voltage divider, and has a capacitor across one pair of terminals, and a resistor across another pair. Seems to be a PWM circuit of some kind. As found, it was putting out 33 volts, not enough to light the LED strip. Tried replacing a small capacitor across the lamp terminals, thinking it might be shorted. No result. The capacitor directly connected to the IC was 2.2 uF rated at 50 volts. I bridged another similar cap across that one while the circuit was powered up, and bingo!, the lamp came on full brightness. So I replaced the 2.2 cap with another of equal value, and the driver works like new. I guess the old cap had gone open, or lost most of its value.
Took the lamp back to Yung, and he was pretty amazed when I plugged it in and it lit up. Turns out he worked for LG electronics in Korea for 15 years and knows his shit.
Well, I got lucky there. The one part on that little board I couldn't test was the IC chip, because it's essentially a black box to me, and tiny, to boot. But a bad cap, I could find, and fix.
I puzzled out the circuit diagram, and it bears a strong resemblance to this one that I found on line, not exactly the same, but pretty clearly using the same principal of operation. I expect the exact circuit of the Chinese driver is proprietary, and uses a custom IC:

I was thinking of lighting my shop building with a slew of these LED tubes made to replace T8 fluorescent lamps. Having some second thoughts. The little driver boards seem to be really cheaply made, and clearly subject to failure. I might be better off just mounting the LED strips, without drivers, and then just powering the whole lot from a purpose-built 75 volt DC supply. I could put a one-amp fuse on every LED strip to protect the power supply from a shorted "lamp".

Don't.
Think about what their future is:
1. Living in Russia vs United States
2. Marrying a man that is about 30-40 years older
3. Marrying a man financially secure
4. Not marrying a drunk Russian
5. Not becoming a drunk Russian wife
6. Get to become an American citizen
7. After hubby dies, bring family over from Russia
8. Hubby will probably treat her like a queen

Nice work.
I replaced the laundry room fluorescents with Feit brand LEDs and they worked great; instant full brightness, no flicker, etc. I got another set for the basement pantry/dry stores room, and one wouldn't come on at all, the other was like a fluorescent with a bad ballast. Swapping them in/out with the known-good fixture and tubes indicated that they were both bad, and after an exchange, their replacements work just fine. Nice harsh white, like I like in work/storage areas.
I can't speak to how they work outside, but if you get a decent set, they should do better than fluorescents in cold weather, yeah?

LEDs like cool temperatures. In my reading this evening, I learned there are now a number of "plug and play" LED replacements for T8 fluorescent lamps, and a big market for them is to replace fluorescents in grocery store coolers and freezers.
My shop is currently "lit" by four eight-foot high-output fluorescents that will start at -30C. Such lamps are commonly used in signs, and for outdoor lighting here in Canada. But less efficient than your normal F40CW.

The LEDs do, I was just thinking about thermal shock on the components like the one you replaced.
But now that you mention it, I did swap my refrigerator/freezer lights for LEDs, mostly because you can get some hilariously harsh color temperatures. It's all part of making the kitchen as glaringly lit as an operating room.

It's not a photoshop. The pictures simply come from two or three different phases of the same encounter. Note that she starts by wearing a blue cap and with her little face bandana up, then we have the photo of the guy running her backwards with her holding the bottle in her hand, the cap falling off of her head and the mask starting to slip, and finally in the video she comes back over the same ground again, minus the cap and the bottle, for her fateful meeting with the guy's right cross.

Drucker was a management consultant for GM decades ago, and he brought them back from the grave. Perhaps his most influential protegé is Rick Warren, author of Purpose Driven Life and founder and head pastor of Saddleback Church, one of the first megachurches and one of the most influential. But there lies the problem: many of accused Warren of valuing church growth at the expense of theology. It's more a church of Drucker than a church of the bible. But Warren's the guy all the ambitious, aspiring megachurch pastors fantasize about being.

I never drove through Boulder City before the bridge was built, but it seems nuts to me to have all that US 93 traffic rolling right down the main street. Some towns fight the construction of bypass roads because they fear all the sweet, sweet tourist dollars will go away. Or should I say the Chamber of Commerce fights the bypass?

Funny, I always figured that was *their* end goal. It's why I don't like the "phrasing" issue. By the time a person can add either "So that's what they call it nowadays" and "That's what she said." the entire English language is a gigantic double entendre and there's nothing "safe" left to say.

There is this epic story about the time Ace left the keys to the font-drive out on the kitchen table and we took it on a night cruise and due to heavy consumption of....well pretty much everything, we wreaked his baby in a flaming heap in his front yard no less.
I believe that is when he started calling us "Morons"
The "Elders" will confirm this me thinks......

Well supposedly, Donald Trump wants to actually build some infrastructure. So write to him, and urge him to build Interstate 11, and route it along the east shore of Lake Mead, so as to bypass Nevada altogether. That would throw a fuck into Harry Reid, and Nevada for going Donk.
And it would speed my trips to AJ, too.

Well, I understand that the traffic used to go across the dam itself. In fact, I think I did cross Hoover Dam in 1988 on a day trip while at an event in Las Vegas, and I think we drove through Boulder City to do it. Undoubtedly, Harry Reid bought up the land that would make the likely route for a highway route to bypass Boulder City, and simply sat on it, to let its value rise as the town became more and more tired of the traffic.
So build Interstate 11 like I suggested above. Highway 93 will still carry the Phoenix-Vegas traffic load, but all traffic from points north will use I-11, and reduce the overall traffic load by a substantial amount.

Which is exactly Trump might be persuaded to build I-11. By so doing, he can throw a big fuck into Clark County, and Harry Reid in particular. A whole lot less traffic through Vegas and the Nevada portion of I-15, including the casino town of Mesquite, which is also a part of Clark County. Just this year, they instituted a 12.5% hotel room tax. Fuckers. No more staying in Mesquite for this cowboy.

I don't know if traffic patterns changed, or what. I do remember that I wanted to tow a trailer to Glendale, AZ, in 2010, and was told that trucks and trailers were not allowed to cross the dam since 9/11, in fear that a truck bomb might be deployed on the dam, I guess. I expect the opening of the bridge allowed the return of heavy truck traffic, and yeah, there are a lot of them.

Well let me

he tries to tell you he's a rank amateur don't believe him.

One of my employees called in this am to say he wouldn't be at work. He was driving in when some guy standing on the curb looked at him and then stepped out on the street. Brian hit the guy and when he called me he was crying. He said that the cops were there and he didn't know if the guy was alive or dead.
I don't know how I'd react and I hope I'll never have to find out. Brian is a good guy and could be in serious trouble.
A prayer for him would be appreciated.
