I love this painting. I appreciate a piece of work that shows me a view of the world I don't already have. If you paint a vase of flowers, bowl of fruit, or some vista full of trees, mountains, and streams, hell, my eyeballs can show me that.
This one makes me think, and allows me to fill in what I see with what is not seen. That is art.

For example: Ever since Clinton began running (let's say from the first of the year) scandal has followed her every step. Obviously, scandal will fill her entire presidency - that's just the way Clinton's are, after all.
This means, rather than having only 4 years of constant scandal, we will get six years.
Six years for the price of four. Where in the universe is this not a good deal?

The tech lead on my current project is out with a secondary infection related to his appendix bursting a few weeks ago. Yes, I said "secondary infection," as in: he went to the hospital and already had an infection, they got that under control, he went home, and now he has another infection.
So... not sure when/if he'll be back.
Enter: me. The new guy. Been on the project about 6 months.
Yesterday they asked me to step into at least part of that tech lead position. Which is awesome career-wise, and I'm honored that they trust/respect me that much.
But it is also generating terror which turns my bones to mush.

"Now when we measure this very weird property of time fabric in the
laboratory, even a 2-centimeter change will result in a detectable time
change in the clock," Ye said.
That is: this thing can measure changes in time due to gravity well enough to detect a 2 cm move towards or away from the center of the earth.
So if you could miniaturize this tech and make it even more accurate it would be the ultimate guidance system. If it could be made accurate enough it should be able to measure the effects of the sun, moon, and other planets to the point that a dynamic map of the earth could be created based on the different gravities. GPS would be obsolete. No more satellites and the tech would be effective anywhere in the universe given an accurate map of bodies in the area.

Nicholas Sord, the driver, pleaded guilty last fall to drunken driving
and was sentenced to 56 months in prison. He had a blood alcohol content
of 0.236 at the time of the accident, about three times the legal
limit.
He would have been charged with felony DUI
with a death in SC. he would be old and grey by the time he got out of
jail. Felony DUI with a death can get you a $25K fine and 25 years in

Somehow she was on the subject of the Pope when I walked in. Was happy that he will "change the direction of the Church and make it less murderous because there's already so much blood on its hands."
I couldn't resist. I said "What do you mean?"
She says, "Well, for instance, they are responsible for the deaths of half of Europe in the dark ages. The church killed all the cats in Europe because they thought they were witches in disguise, and the cats were the only thing keeping the rats in check. That's how the plague was spread, by the rats. It killed millions of people before the cat population recovered and got the rats back under control."
I said "huh" and fled into my office. Oy.

AG, I had much the same experience near the start of my career. Tech lead in scale up of a new polymer process went out with throat cancer and never returned. I was put into his shoes with only minimal experience in the area (I was a chemist by training and he was a chemical engineer). What followed was the most productive and rewarding eighteen months of my entire career.
Why? I wasn't alone: there was a team of a half dozen researchers that I could call upon. I learned quickly to listen to the process operators and to see upon their experiences. Finally, I wasn't afraid to try new ideas, two of which proved crucial in establishing the new process as better than its predecessor.
Yes, I was afraid, too, at first. But I never had as much fun or felt as good about what I accomplished in the subsequent two dozen years of my career as I did then. I had many more degrees of freedom than I knew at the outset and I used them fully once I became aware of them.
Be not afraid. Run with it.

citizen.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the
State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United
States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
They always leave out that part when quoting it. The only "jurisdiction" illegals have is breaking the law. There has never been a court case regarding children of illegals that caused them to become citizens. Wong Kim Ark was the children of LEGAL immigrants.
The 14th amendment part on citizenship was written to apply to the children of slaves who had been born in the US to parents who had been in the US for generations.

I think they're all fairly comparable.
But John Deere and Cub Cadet have cup holders. Other brands do not. That's important. Because holding your beer with one hand while operating a mower with the other can end up with spilled beer.
I have an old craftsman, thing works fine. Fires up every time... change the oil once a year, sharpen the blades whenever it needs it (usually annually). Things not a looker, but it cuts grass. Got it cheap, too.

We caught our daughter in a blatant lie about where she had been with the car when she came back a full eight hours later than expected. Not only had she driven it from central PA to DC, but the little idiot had talked on her phone practically the whole time.
How did we know? Cell phone tower records that we accessed online once she got back. To this day she doesn't know how we found out. Tech user, but not tech savvy.

If you can find a mower that's smooth-running enough to not make your beer foam over while mowing, I guess you should buy it. In any case, you shouldn't be holding a beer for more than 10-12 seconds, lightweight.

The plague did travel from China via the trade routes but the brits aggravated the spread of it in England by killing the cats. Not quite the same as creating the plague. I'm not sure why the english didnt recognize the usefulness of cats, plague or not. Maybe, cats were over populated and became a nuisance, themselves. I dont believe the witch stories.

I will oppose any reauthorization of Section 215 that does not contain meaningful reforms.”

Tone deaf, and completely unconstitutional.
I know Snowden gets hate on much of the right ish blogosphere, but after his revelations, shouldn't our congressmen (who claimed they had no idea what the NSA was up to) be pushing big time to reign it in?
Aren't they kind of proving that they were lying when they said "we didnt know the NSA was recording all phone meta data" if they pass more bills allowing the NSA to continue to spy on americans w/o a warrant?
Remember, before snowden, only crazy people thought the NSA spied on americans. They are ONLY supposed to be used on foreign citizens. FBI is supposed to be the ones "spying" on americans, since they're a federal law enforcement agency who has to follow due process and the constitution, where the NSA is an international spy agency that is part of the DoD.

If you are buying anything, pressure washer, push mower, generator, etc, with a small engine, make sure you get a Honda. They make engines for any number of companies so don't assume that a particular brand name comes with a Honda engine.
I have spent the last 25 yrs dealing with generators, compressors and pressure washers. Hondas start. Even after a winter with gas in them. I have seen new mowers that needed carb work every year since the advent of ethanol gas and my Hondas have never needed one.
Yeah, I probably just jinxed myself but it was worth it to get the word out.

Yeah, Honda small engines are the shit.
If you can find them in a reasonably priced piece of a equipment, I'd pick honda over anything else 10 out of 10 times if the price is similar.
But I don't know which riding mower company uses Honda engines. Everything I've seen uses Kohler or similar. Then again, I only look at cheap used stuff.

I must have a half a dozen small engines around. The tiller sits for a year between uses. If you have access to non-ethanol fuel, use that. Drain the carb *dry* at the end of the season. If you don't want to drain the tank, then fill it *FULL*. I do use gas stabilizer, though I don't have much confidence in it.
At any rate, there's not a Honda in the bunch. My Snapper tiller must be 40 years old. Cranks every time. Honda engines seem to be just great, but I would be more concerned about the configuration and price than the engine manufacturer.
My inclination is iron-lined-cylinder Kohler.

Sales of new electric cars and hybrids, according to automotive research and shopping site Edmunds.com, are at their lowest level since 2011 -- the first full year of sales for the groundbreaking Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid and Nissan's all-electric Leaf. So carmakers are paring prices in an effort to get them moving.
Furthermore, motorists who leased those first-generation cars, and have decided not to buy them, are turning them in. They're on dealer lots with still relatively low mileage, and at prices considerably cheaper than the new ones.
Even with $7,500 federal tax credits and other incentives, automakers such as General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Nissan have dropped prices in an attempt to move their new hybrids and electrics. Cadillac became the most recent to reduce the sticker on an electric car, when it whacked $9,000 off its ELR plug-in hybrid last week.

They still track down sexual partners? I thought the fruits paid "paid" to that practice during the AIDS outbreak.

Fortunately, male homosexuals aren't promiscuous or anything. Totally a stereotype.

In a key development, the service is expected to allow customers to pay only for the amount of data they actually use each month, people familiar with the matter said -- a move that could further push carriers to do away with lucrative "breakage."
Many traditional wireless plans require subscribers to pay for buckets of data that expire at the end of each month. A 2013 study by a company called Validas, which analyzes consumers' bills to help them choose the right plan, says smartphone users typically waste $28 each month on unused data.
... in many places, including South America, phone users use one service provider for their phone calls and another service provider for their data services. This requires the phone to have two SIMMs.

Never a problem, each spring I pickup a kit that has the air, fuel, oil filters plus a spark plug and engine oil.
Oil and filter gets changed each 8 hours of run time and the applicable grease fittings are lubed after every use.
The primary reason I bought it wasn't lawn, it was for leaf removal. I live under/around 11 oak trees on my lot, so after the 1st year there, raking was not gonna happen.
