Here’s another great new tune from the three world’s best acoustic guitar players, Tommy Emmanuel.
Australian guitar great Tommy Emmanuel dropped by the Acoustic Guitar studios to chat and play a few songs. Here’s the “Certified Guitar Player” doing his song “The TE Ranch.”

Hey Charles (and any other Tommy fans):
If you want to hear a fairly good live recording of how Emmanuel actually sounded playing 80s power pop with the Australia/New Zealand band Dragon (performing under the name Hunter at this time), check out their set as they opened for Tina Turner in Europe in 1987.

Not so incidentally, most of the 1% still have to work for a living, and therefore know better than to say such stupid things.
Zell is in the 0.0001% or higher, doesn’t have to work for a living, and has fallen prey to the common delusions of the plutocrat class.

1) The users (tiny fraction of the population)
2) The used (most of those who work for a living)
3) Those who are deemed not worth using (everyone else)

In any event concealable handguns are the problem. Open carry makes certain people uneasy, but that’s also what makes it less than conducive to criminality. If people want to play cowboy IMO that’s their business, as long as they don’t do it in bars, schools, or other government buildings.

This is why I’ll be voting for Alison Lundergan Grimes in November for Kentucky Senator. I seriously disagree with her on several policy issues (including the gun issue) but she is overwhelming preferable to McConnell overall.

Ukraine leader to Sochi as Kremlin warns action against “coup”
….the Kremlin aide, a key Putin adviser on Ukraine, added to the Cold War ambience of Russia’s first Olympics since 1980 by warning that Moscow could intervene to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty under the terms of the 1994 pact with the United States under which Kiev gave up nuclear weapons inherited from the Soviet Union.
For the time being, however, that seemed a distant threat.

I don’t know. I can’t remember actually hearing of any illegal shooting incidents, or shooting incidents at all for that matter, that involve one openly carried and holstered handgun.
I guess a lot of the mass shootings technically started off with open carry, some asshole walking in with an arsenal of tactical bullshit. But I never heard a problem from those dude’s who used to flock to Starbucks during mating season and preen themselves while strapped.

I don’t have a problem with open carry laws. Some people do. Hell, I remember a incident back in 1973. I was walking down a rural road with a 12 gauge single shotgun over my shoulder heading out for some pheasant hunting.
Some lady saw me and called the cops because I had a gun. When I was stopped, I told them were I was going and showed them my hunting license and was allowed continue on my way.
The reason why she called? Children shouldn’t have guns.
She was (after my parents called to find out why I was stopped) from California.

When I was stationed up in Alaska at the Arctic Testing Center, we had a cow and calf moose that lived near the airfield. In the winter it’s easier for them to walk on the road than to push through heavy snow. If they were on the road you just had to sit and wait for them to move on. If you honked at them, they tended to regard it as a challenge. Only place I know where I could walk in 15 minutes late, and just say “moose on the road” and it was all good.
I believe that more people are killed each year in Alaska by moose than by bear.

re: #58 RealityBasedSteve
When I was stationed up in Alaska at the Arctic Testing Center, we had a cow and calf moose that lived near the airfield. In the winter it’s easier for them to walk on the road than to push through heavy snow. If they were on the road you just had to sit and wait for them to move on. If you honked at them, they tended to regard it as a challenge. Only place I know where I could walk in 15 minutes late, and just say “moose on the road” and it was all good.
I believe that more people are killed each year in Alaska by moose than by bear.
RBS
When I lived in British Columbia and worked for the railroad, we had the same problem with moose on the line.
We’d keep a running score of moose vs. train over the winter. The train did not always win.
Everyone in the railroad had a freezer full of meat though.

Charles Johnson Thu, Feb 6, 2014 6:06:57pm |
I’m raving about framesets because I’ve been updating the spell checker script in the LGF Spy.
Our “normal” comments use a newer, sort-of stripped down spell checker, but the LGF Spy still uses the old prehistoric Javascript spell checker that uses a popup window.
The interesting thing is that the old frameset-based spell checker actually does a much better job, even though it looks clunky, because the back-end script uses the Linux aspell library commands to check spelling on the server. The aspell library is top notch, and if it doesn’t recognize a common word it’s easy to add it to a custom dictionary.
I admit, though, that I rarely use this feature myself - if I’m unsure about spelling I usually right click on the word to get a list of suggestions. But not all browsers have built-in spell-checking yet.
So here’s your chance to let me know if you prefer the popup window (the LGF Spy method) or the inline suggestions (the normal comment mode method).
| 121 |
Charles Johnson Thu, Feb 6, 2014 6:08:45pm |
The spell checking function is interesting because it’s one of the few cases where a frameset design makes a kind of crazy sense. The popup window ends up looking a lot like the spell checking window people are used to seeing in MS Word.
