COLLECTIVE MADNESS
“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

And this is usually the way men drink off women
ReplyDeleteDo you want to talk about off days? I left the stove on all night with nothing in the pan. It was on a very low simmer mind you but still it was on. We were lucky.

The U.S. government scrambled on Friday to ward off an environmental disaster that could cost billions of dollars as a huge oil spill reached coastal Louisiana, imperiling shrimp fishing grounds, oyster beds and fragile wetlands with a rich variety of wildlife.
ReplyDeleteWith oil gushing unchecked from a ruptured deepwater well in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana, President Barack Obama's administration heaped pressure on London-based energy giant BP, the majority owner of the blown-out well, to do more to shut off the flow and contain the spreading slick.
...
"The problem here is we have a leak that's uncontrolled right now, leading to a source of oil that's not infinite, but it's very very large, and we're not going to know the total impact and the oil release until we actually shut it down," Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said on CNN.
"I think 5,000 barrels per day is a good estimate for now, but I think we need to understand, we can have something catastrophic happen down there, we need to be prepared for the worst-case scenario, and that's where we're headed."
Oil Spill
I'm lucky not to have burned down something over this many years. Due to often intensive activities involving a very large and ancient cast iron skillet - and the absence of a good exhaust fan - I always have to remove the battery from the smoke alarm nearest the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what you call it, Trish, it was an off day for me.
ReplyDeleteI nearly burned down the house attempting to deep-fry some won-tons, or something-a-rather a few years back now. Kitchen window drape caught fire burned up with flames licking the ceiling. Talk about a close one.
ReplyDeleteTalking about "Lucky" bet on that horse in the Kentucky Derby. My wife follows these things, she being raised right across the border from Kentucky, and having gone to the University of Kentucky. Her calls on these things are often very good on this stuff.

ReplyDeleteThat's the thing it never smoked or smelled or anything indicating it was on. No smoke alarm went off or anything. Although, my pan has this slimy sticky stuff that I can't, for the life of me, get off of it.
ReplyDeleteI smoked a smoke on the porch, after having helped Walt, now dead, crushed under his own SUV, with harvest, then went to bed, only to wake up with the Fire Department banging on the doors. The wife was really mad. She said, you could have done a better job of it, as she doesn't really like it here, and would rather have a new home.
ReplyDeleteI never burned anything down except for a few eyelashes and some hair in the frong of my head.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was up at the lake, by myself, reading, I took one of these quart plastic bottles of lighter fluid, and sprayed it on the charcoal, which wasn't going so good, where I was making some steaks, sprayed from a few feet away. Whole damned porch nearly exploded, the flame came right up the spray. Don't ever ever do that.
ReplyDeleteToday they closed the Louisiana Capline offshore crude terminal (off of St. James) due to the spill (likely do not want tankers spreading the spill and fire risk on the water). This is where crude oil import tankers tie up to unload for the Louisiana area refineries. Gasoline is up another 5 cents today wholesale.
ReplyDeleteRufus, what's your estimated PPG by July. I'm driving to TN and need to plan a budget.
ReplyDeleteAnother time, my sis and me ,who is six years older than I, were going skinny dipping, late at night one hot August night, in the lake, when the water is warmer than the air, and we had a fire, as usual on the beach. When we got out of the water, she putting a towel about her body, and me too, we had a smoke, and one of us threw a

ReplyDeleteBut, really, too many unknown, unknowns. ANYTHING could happen. One would be: The economy falls off a cliff, and the price of gas actually goes down.
My Dad always said, "Take half the clothes you think you'll need, and Twice the money." :)
One pretty reliable outfit thinks it's more like 20,000 barrels/day. That would be 840,000 gallons/day.
ReplyDelete$4.00 or $5.00 a gallong? Good Lord, that's highway robbery.
ReplyDeleteMy Nana always said, "Make sure you have clean underwear on in case you're in an accident."
If that oil ever gets over to the L.O.O.P. it'll shut off almost all of the oil imports to the Gulf from Louisiana, Eastward, I think, and maybe some to Texas. If it gets over to the Houston Ship Channel then I guess we're looking at all Gulf imports. Or, almost all.
ReplyDeleteObama will Tap the "Reserve," and, quite likely, impose rationing.
Billions, and Billions, and Billions will be lost if that oil gets over to the Destin, Santa Rosa area. That white sand will Never recover. Not in a hundred years.

(CNN) -- A sheriff's deputy in central Arizona was shot Friday afternoon by an alleged illegal immigrant, authorities said.
ReplyDeletePARIS (Reuters) - Belgium's vote to ban full face veils in public is the furthest any European country has gone to confront a tiny minority whose choice in clothing has come to symbolize the issue of ...
ReplyDeleteThe Pinal County deputy, who was not immediately identified, contacted authorities after being wounded in the desert, saying he had been shot by an illegal immigrant with an AK-47, said Lt. Tammy Villar, a sheriff's spokeswoman.
ReplyDelete...
Pinal County is between Phoenix and Tucson and has been described as a key transit point for illegal immigrants and drug traffickers. Sheriff Paul Babeu said an estimated 80 percent of illegal immigrants eventually pass through his county along the way to other locations.
Earlier this week, a CNN crew spent 12 hours on patrol with Pinal County deputies. In that time, the deputies captured more than 50 suspected illegal immigrants and about 2,000 pounds of marijuana.

ReplyDeleteI've seen the slick referred to as "Palin's Pond."
ReplyDeleteEarly on I saw a figure for "insured cost" being around $35 Billion. Only Jehova knows what the cost may end up being.
If we end up with "Rationing," and a Crashed Economy it could run to a $Trillion.
For half that I could replace every drop of oil we use in the United States.
And, we'd never ship another Dollar to the Middle East or Africa, or Venezuela.

ReplyDeleteTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has declared a state of emergency in several Panhandle coastal counties because of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Friday's executive order covers Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay and Gulf Counties.
The order says "The resulting oil slick is generally moving in a northerly direction and threatens Florida's coast."

Too much Legal Immigration, already!
ReplyDeleteMost Americans do not know just how many legal immigrants we let in each year. The Department of Homeland Security just issued their statistics for new legal permanent immigrants in 2009. Last year, we issued 1,130,818 green cards, the fourth highest year since 1914. From 2000-2009, we issued over 10 million green cards, the highest decade of American history. Currently, there are 38 million immigrants, 24 million of whom are in the workforce. This does not include temporary workers. DHS did not release the 2009 figures yet, but they issued 912,735 temporary employment authorizations in 2008.
Most of these immigrants are low skilled and from the Third World. Less than 10% of new green card holders are from Europe. People of extraordinary ability, investors, and immigrants with advanced degrees made up less than 8% of the new immigrants.
Faced with these numbers, how can anyone argue with a straight face that we don’t admit enough immigrants?

Turbeaux said,
That’s absurd. It is impossible for illiterate and unskilled workers to become contributing and productive members of American society. Not only that, but they are also not compatible with America society. Wow, only 8 percent of new immigrants are actually qualified.
You're an acquired taste.
ReplyDeleteLike hot piss.
Oh, doug, go to NYCity, out to the Statue of Liberty, the people greeter for the United States of America.

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.

The only "Qualification" required to come to the United States, is desire to improve one's self.
If we're going to change that Standard, we should have changed that inscription, when we refurnished Lacy Liberty.

Racist! Nativist! Profiler! Xenophobe!
"Finally, legal immigration should be reformed and reflect new realities. Millions of highly educated and skilled foreigners from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe are dying to enter the U.S.
Rather than base immigration criteria on anchor children, accidental birth in the U.S. without concern for legality, and family ties, we need at least in part to start giving preference to those of all races and nationalities who will come with critical skills, and in turn rely less on the social service entitlement industry.
They should come from as many diverse places as possible to prevent the sort of focused ethnic tribalism and chauvinism we have seen in the case of Mexico’s cynicism."
Hispanic kids are not "improved" by NEA Monopoly schools,
ReplyDeleteanymore than healthy HS graduates are "improved" by the Leftist Dogma spouted on college campi.
Your last three posts may be right on, doug-o, but not the course charted, for US, by our elected leaders of both political parties.
ReplyDeleteWhen we did the refurbishing of Lady Liberty we did not change the inscription, so that remains the Standard.

A critical fact is this:
When the column is filled with oil, the weight of that column moderates the pressure.
As soon as gas begins to come up with the oil, the weight is reduced, and if you don't get it shut off in time, the resulting pressure can blow up just about anything.
Must be a hell of a feeling as they are monitering and the density starts going down:

ReplyDelete2021.01.05酒店打工 酒店工作內容
ReplyDelete一般來說進酒店工作有二種方式:
第一種路徑:
自己Google搜尋找酒店經紀幫妳分析(如適合哪種店家或酒店上班市場現況分析或造型調整方向以及心態適應等..)
第二種路徑:
自己姊妹朋友之間的介紹，但酒店經紀專業與不專業，好與不好….百分比各50%
1、不論是自己Google找經紀或朋友介紹，酒店打工在職前都會有行政或是至於你適合哪種店家就要依照你的條件能配合的上班時間 (【酒店小姐】【酒店公關】學姊們教你
所以不用擔心「沒經驗什麼都不會怎麼辦」的問題~(因為大家都是從沒經驗開始,妳跟目前在職上班的小姐沒有不一樣)
2、新人除非有超好的天份，否則酒店兼差前三天屬於適應期因此不必太在意得失心要給自己和店家一點的時間
3、確定要去某間店上班前，一定要了解這間店的文化，及自已的酒店工作內容
4、了解這間店的細節規定，才不會莫名其妙被扣錢!
5、出勤正常，不要遲到，(如遲到一分鐘可是扣50元!)
6、不要讓自已喝醉!!和客人拚酒是最傻的行為，雖然喝酒難免，但能閃則閃，保持自已清醒才是安全又健康的!。很多人想到酒店上班，卻沒有良好的管道。梁曉尊的網站提供大家可選擇的管道!女孩們在與曉尊用LINE對話 或者利用留言版留言時，我們的回答總是簡單且衷懇的。我們成立這個網站，是想揭開這行神秘的面紗，當然也希望招募到優秀的人員。所以我們的回答絕對是符合妳的期待。
