Posted by: Bicentennialguy at January 18, 2018 09:33 AM (3kEYD)
Hawaii gets an asterisk. It's kind of cool to fly into the 'big' island and see snow on the top of the mountain, even in summer. The other states? That's pretty amazing.
Entirely consistent with Milankovitch cycles making our Northern Hemisphere winters more intense year after year. Also consistent with Australia getting hotter summers, year after year.

At some middle eastern Christian conference in 2014, Ted Cruz was invited to be a speaker, and he shocked the attendees when he stood up at the podium and told them "If you will not stand with Israel, We will not Stand with You." The conference was outraged, but Cruz was right.

I actually had an investment in a small outfit in the 90's that was doing some secondary/tertiary recovery at Spindletop. Since sold, but I think there's still at least one producing well on that site. Astounding since that spot has been producing at some level for 116 years now.

Sounds pretty exhausting. It's good to have a level of concern, but I guess it would be nice if she said, "That's great. What does she like about it?." I like to watch the little kids getting on and off the bus. It reminds me when my son was that young. They're cute
While there are bad bus drivers-you can tell you mother that they are screened as far as police backgrounds and fingerprints are checked. If my husband is like the rest they take the jobs seriously and it's sometimes quite a job to be watching 30-40 kids on a bus who are sometimes shrieking and also watching the road,

Yup! Her bus is just for special needs kids and there are only three of them on it and her bus driver is a lovely man. Its very cute to see how excited she is about getting on the bus and strapping herself in..makes her feel all grown up I reckon.

It made me think of a similar image for little boys. After ball games the Nats let little kids run the bases. The 4 and 5 year olds are so serious and earnest. You know in their minds they have just hit a walk off home run in the last game of the World Series. No adult can look at them, or this little girl, without a gentle smile.
I don't know if the 'ettes will agree with my impression of the painting.

Orleans is, however, a very lovely town on Cape Cod. All the other town names around there are English, but we were really mad at England when Orleans was founded so they chose a French name.

Probably not. They're shoes that dancers wear when they are not doing a ballet or tap number. Think Rockettes. But not just them. Think of the Nutcracker, and the scene with the parents at the Christmas party. The women would be wearing character shoes most likely.

I took step dancing lessons too. But we wore soft shoes. It's all legs, and no arm movement. This was tough because in tap, they wanted us to be very expressive with exaggerated arm movements.

invited to be a speaker, and he shocked the attendees when he stood up
at the podium and told them "If you will not stand with Israel, We will
not Stand with You." The conference was outraged, but Cruz was right.

It's a shame that only three years later he was blaming violence on a coordinated group of distasteful Americans who went to the trouble of getting permits to lawfully assemble before being assaulted by a coordinated group who had decided they were above those same laws.
He had such potential.

I grew up with a boy that "had" to take ballet lessons. He hated it, and
kept it a secret from almost everyone. Later on, in high school, he was
the starting quarterback, and a highly recruited basketball player. His
agility and speed and sure footedness were a marvel. It was those damn
ballet lessons, for sure. Everything else was easy by comparison.

Gene Kelly worked very hard to get more men and boys interested in dance. Even back in his time the art form was starting to be considered a feminine activity, and it was being taken over by women by default. Fewer and fewer boys were taking up dance. He fought really hard against this characterization, and tried to demonstrate to males that dance could be a very demanding and masculine physical activity.

He's from a Texas town with a racially fraught history and he was a little nervous about coming back to his hometown. A couple of rednecks came up to him in a diner and said "we love you for not saying you're from Houston, you always say you're from Terrell".

He busted his backside packing and the requirements for packaging things kept going up and up, so that people would be able to be their widgets in one day. he felt like he was working for Mammon. They lay off older workers who might be the more responsible ones because there's a steady supply of people to take their places, Since some many are foreigners I would be surprised if there are immigration shenanigans going on. the only positive thing was benefits kicked in early. The turnover is huge
Jeff Bezos just gave millions to help Dreamers go to college. I think he should have given more for workers salaries.

Williamson would complain about it. What a loser
I haven't seen the Williamson column, but I can see someone being a recent convert to pro-life for several reasons, such as:
--- It has morphed from last resort/"safe, legal, rare" --> free abortion on demand
--- Abortion activists have pushed hard to remove stigma, and state legislation prohibiting, late-term abortion, which really is infanticide when it happens weeks before delivery date
--- 3D imaging of fetus in womb and other medical changes that have led to better understanding of what the fetus can do, etc. in the womb
--- Dr. Kermin Gosnell and Planned Parenthood shown to be ghouls who are happy to sell, baby parts, dissect live-but-dying babies, etc.
A lot has changed in 40 years that would make someone who was pro-abortion by default/while uniformed become pro-life in today's practice and political climate

The reasons why:
1) Krugman and his acolytes love to crow about how he is a "nobel prize winning economist". Trump is showing everyone that he was smarter than the Dem's nobel prize winner.
2) Krugman is close to the top of the Democrat Pantheon of writers, and his columns in the NYT are venerated like Holy Scripture. Trump just pushed one of their most cherished tin gods off its little shelf.
3) Trump's #1 claim calls up the whole issue of the Economy - which democrats are desperate to avoid. So he gets to attack one of their most revered figures and they are stunned into silence and have to let it stand.
4) The claim that it was "only opinion" is ridiculous, and everyone knows it. The entire dem party treats Krugman's columns as Ex Cathedra pronouncements, and everyone knows it. Every dem in the country believed Krugman when he wrote this.
5) with the#1 spot on the list being deeply offensive to the dems, but also so inarguably right that they dare not talk about it, the entire list becomes something that the Dem's dare not talk about it, and an insult that they are forced to suffer in silence even though every one of them wants to scream at the sky about it.
Like I said, absolute Genius on Trump's part.

OK, so, I heard this rumor--maybe you can confirm: Is it true that there are loudspeakers over the shop floors that broadcast a "cracking whip" sound and a growling male voice that says "those who work, eat; those who don't, starve!!" I also heard that employees refer to it as "The Big Voice."

I remember seeing/hearing this crap before the election too. As a Christian, I pray for conversions to the pro-life cause. And here we have one, yet we are going to dismiss him because he wasn't always on board? Some of the most powerful pro-life activists used to be on the other side.
Some people will look for any reason to knock Trump. He's not perfect by any means, but the fact that he converted from pro-choice to pro-life is very comforting to me.
