I love that this piece is straight up finger-picking. I’m at the point with these solo acoustic guitar pieces that I just shut the video off if it has that way-overused thumping of the strings on the downbeats. It’s much more difficult (but much more interesting) to convey the rhythm without clubbing people over the head with it.

It’s all about the grift with opportunistic, lying, creepy Nikki Haley. I had started a collection of her “greatest hits” and I guess I’m going to have to update and complete it soon. I am already sick of hearing about her “great achievement” of getting the confederate flag removed from the statehouse grounds—total bullshit.

July 17, 2013 11:27 AM Eastern Daylight Time
WASHINGTON—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) named Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina one of the worst governors in America. Gov. Haley has undermined transparency in state government by withholding details about her outside employment while she served in the state legislature and shielding her communication with her staff. She also appointed donors to powerful posts and accepted private flights from donors and people with business before the state. Her actions have earned her a spot in the latest edition of CREW’s Worst Governors in America report, an examination of shady and unethical conduct by the nation’s governors.
“I believe she is the most corrupt person to occupy the governor’s mansion since Reconstruction,” declared John Rainey, a longtime Republican fundraiser and power broker who chaired the state’s Board of Economic Advisers for eight years.

Most of my friends were in bands so I hung out with a lot of musicians. Being in a band wasn’t my cup of tea. However, I got corraled into a few jams at parties and camping. One dude had a beat-up Martin with a few buzzes that he’d give me when it became time.
Even the flaws and battle scars in that Martin looked and sounded good.

re: #32 DodgerFan1988
SO I have to wonder just how many folks this “anti-war” rally is actually drawing? The few streams I’ve been able to find are the usual tight-focus shots of the podium: and even so, it looks like there are as many (more?) tourists wandering around as rally-goers.
ETA:
I was going to add some commentary about how pathetic this whole thing seemed, them I found this piece on LGM noting that Jill Stein, Ron Paul and Tulsi Gabbard were going to be featured speakers: along with this modest list of demands:
Not one more penny for war in Ukraine;
Negotiate peace;
Stop the war inflation;
Disband NATO;
Global nuclear de-escalation;
Slash the pentagon budget;
Abolish the CIA and military-industrial deep state;
Abolish war and empire;
Restore civil liberties;
Free Julian Assange.
So yeah: “pathetic”….

re: #43 aatharuv
It just so happens that there’s a series of storms hitting north-western Europe at the moment. This may be why Denmark’s wind generating figures are so high right now.
I track power generation in the UK sometimes, when it’s windy and trees are being blown down, houses wrecked etc. we generate a lot of electricity from wind farms. When it’s not so windy and there’s no weather-damage happening we don’t generate so much electricity from wind. I wonder if there’s a connection?
re: #272 Eclectic Cyborg
There’s also a legitimate photo floating around (I think from WWII) of a naked gunner firing at Nazis. Story is dude was asleep when the enemy showed up and he suddenly had to swing into action without even having the time to get dressed.
In Spike Milligan’s war autobiography series (couldn’t find it in a PDF of Monty: His Part In My Victory so possibly in Rommel. Gunner Who?) he relates an incident in North Africa where entire crews in the 19th Heavy Artillery (D Battery, 7.2” 200-lb howitzers) were scrambled to their guns, most of them naked. It’s probably just as well those photos don’t exist.

When my dad died, he left behind his “other guitar” that he’d once tried to refret and failed. It had sat in a closet for decades, the tuners turning to dust. I took it to a luthier to see if I could salvage his 1950 nylon Martin. He could. I play it with affection. It’s now a 73-year-old instrument.
re: #54 Unabogie
I bet that sounds like heaven. But it’s dad’s, so, even more amazing.
Yes to both. He bought that guitar new in (I think) 1950. If he wasn’t such a stubborn guy he would have let someone fix it for him, but he refused, so he never got to play it.

Two of his best concerts that I attended: one at DAR Constitution hall in DC where he did a solo acoustic; the second was at UPenn when he was touring with Nick Lowe on his wheel of music tour. That may not have been the actual name, but he spun a giant wheel with song names on it and played whatever song the ticket landed on.

Lucky you! It would be worth your while to get the instrument appraised by someone who knows Martin guitars. It’s good to know the value of what you have even if you have no plans to sell it. If it’s worth a good bit, consider insuring it. Old Martins can be a treasure even if repaired assuming the repairs were done competently.

I think it depends on what you need monthly. If you want payback of what you’ve put in, take it early. If you need more money monthly for the rest of your life, I’d hold off. I’m not planning on taking SocSec until the latest possible moment.

I’m going back to Silverton, CO to go skiing this weekend. I have to mount two pairs of skis for an athlete who lives there and I’m staying with, and bring them back. I also left my avalanche beacon at his house. It was meant to be. Oh, dumpage in the forecast week.
There’s one, maybe two, things I should buy for backcountry skiing. One, for sure, is a CB radio. The other, maybe, is avalanche airbags, which you can deploy and theoretically they’ll keep you on top of the snow in an avalanche. They have been proven to work, including at the 2012 Tunnel Creek avalanche that killed three beloved skiers and was subject to a Pulitzer Prize winning article by the New York Times.
All right, these are friends of ours, (Catriona more so, Chris is dead quiet). He’s a fiddler from the Shetlands, way up north, no trees. She’s classically trained, from Fife and decided to pick up the Clarsach in Grad school and see what it could do and discovered it could have extended techniques, like using it as a strummed instrument like a guitar.
Understand that this is the best Fiddle/Clarsach duo in the world. No one comes close. Listen and be amazed:

re: #231 teleskiguy
Avalanche airbags are *really expensive*, $1,400 for one piece of equipment. That’s more than a top-end pair of skis.
Parachutes are also very expensive.
But if you do a cost/benefit analysis and your dead/alive status is one end of the analysis, well…
re: #232 austin_blue
I’ll probably still opt out of the airbags. As it is I don’t venture into that kind of avalanche terrain often enough to justify the expense. The last time I skied terrain besides yesterday that was avalanche prone in the backcountry was well before covid.
Here’s a good one of me above Vail Pass, circa 2015.
The vast VAST majority (including my friends in Silverton, CO) of backcountry skiers don’t carry airbags. Because they analyze the snowpack carefully before they ski and are not afraid to turn around if conditions are sketchy.
re: #234 teleskiguy
Three years ago one of our pros was throwing dynamite and the crown raced up the hill and around the ridge behind him. He went for a 1500 vertical foot ride at 70mph over rocks and trees. The airbag is what kept him on top of the flow and prevented him from becoming ground meat.
They work.

Here’s a good one of me above Vail Pass, circa 2015.

If you are not stupid, you don’t need stupid protection, at least usually.
But if you fly airplanes, or ski down the sides of mountains, sometimes things break and you need parachutes or avalanche airbags. But I understand your point.
re: #235 teleskiguy
The vast VAST majority (including my friends in Silverton, CO) of backcountry skiers don’t carry airbags. Because they analyze the snowpack carefully before they ski and are not afraid to turn around if conditions are sketchy.
It integrates with a backpack you wear. If you need help, I’ll throw in the $400 or whatever it is you need. Big floats. The person wearing the airbag may be the one person who can help save the lives of the others in the group.

Yes, he was traumatized…still was, for some time after. Badly bruised, but a full convert on the use of airbags for backcountry skiing. Now all of our pros wear airbag equipped backpacks even when doing recreational journeys…and wear beacons.

US Secretary of State Blinken publicly called out the Chinese for considering increasing their aid to Russia. The act of publicly stating what the Chinese (and our allies) have already been told privately, conveys a number of very specific messages.
Phillips O’Brien goes through some of what this statement means in the following thread -
There is alot to Blinken saying this publicly that needs to be unpacked. The 1st reason is the USA must be very concerned that China is actually going to supply significant military support to Russia. So far, most have said that China was more helping around the edges. https://t.co/DCJFLUrdTP

There were no Hispanic Zoot-Suited yoots or BLM terrorists who flash-mobbed a South Austin intersection last night and “terrorized” the City.
Just some goofball kids. You know, stupid fuckwits with very expensive automobiles.
There was no real negative reaction among Austinites over the flash mob that showed up to captcha the goofballs slinging their cars around and burning off their tires in the intersection of Barton Springs Road and South Lamar Avenue three blocks from my house.

I just got back from the Cheyenne VA Medical Center.
The wind was really bad driving west on Interstate 80 from Sidney to Pine Bluffs, Wyo. Overhead signs indicated Interstate 25 was closed in both directions for light and high-profile vehicles from the Colo. Line to Wheatland, Wyo.
I spent my Sunday in the Emergency Room (see behind the privacy bar for details, as more will be scheduled).
By the time we were done, Interstate 80 was closed for high wind from Interstate 25 in Cheyenne to Rawlins. Eastbound was still open. Thousands of trucks are pulled off the road. Coming home, there was no eastbound traffic at all between Cheyenne and Sidney. (Very few local people use Interstate 80 from Pine Bluffs to Sidney.)
We treated ourselves to haute cuisine at Arby’s in Sidney, and now here we are.

War’s been going on for almost a year now, yet the West continues to need a noisy and contentious public debate about “escalation” every time they even contemplate doing more than providing a drip-feed of munitions and supplies to Ukraine. The alliance that seemed to be united in bringing the sanctions hammer down on Moscow is now looking brittle again as the member states most susceptible to Russian influence are constantly flaring up like hemorrhoids while political scuffles in others presents the opportunity to cause them a lot of grief if the war remains a stalemate or Russia begins to regain lost ground.
re: #82 Backwoods_Sleuth
That would be Civil Rights leader and future Nebraska state Senator Ernie Chambers (I-North Omaha). He was such a force in the Unicameral that the state passed the term limits law for senators just to get rid of him. Two years after he was ousted, he was reëlected.
He is Senator Megan Hunt’s (D-West Omaha) mentor today.
Mr. Chambers was calling out the preacher in public in his barber shop because Ernie Chambers is an atheist, and he saw how Christians treated Black people during Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Era. In the Unicameral, he never stopped pushing for equality for all (as our state motto says) and ending religious oppression by Christians of other faiths and atheists.

Of course it could be expensive. While sitting in a restaurant this morning in Sidney, I was watching one of those advert panels that show local businesses.
A Realtor had for sale a double-wide (although fixed up nicely inside) smaller than my house for $250,000 in Gering, Nebraska (the cultural centre of the Universe and county seat of Scotts Bluff County)
They also had a house smaller than mine for sale in my county seat of Bridgeport for $390,000.

Navy: Hold my grog.
Navy’s ‘religious needs assessment’ is unconstitutional, critics say (Navy Times, February 17, 2023)
A recent update to the Navy’s instruction on religious ministry in the service — which instructs commanders to offer a “religious needs assessment” to sailors arriving at a new duty station — is drawing fire from some enlisted sailors and officers who argue it is unconstitutional.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a nonprofit representing those sailors, says the provision within OPNAV Instruction 1730.1F constitutes an illegal “religious test” because those who don’t accept their command’s offer will be signaling they aren’t religious, which might be used against them.
The Navy says the assessment is optional and that such evaluations have been in place for nearly 30 years. The guidance was updated in November as part of a “periodic instruction review,” according to the service.
(more)
When I left the Navy in 1996, there was no such “assessment.”
It stipulates that “commanders must offer new check-ins the opportunity to complete a religious needs assessment.” The language is a departure from the previous guidance issued in 2012, which states that commanders shall “conduct an assessment of the religious ministry requirements” for their commands.

Ms. Heard noted her brother manages their rather substantial financial accounts for them.
When recently checking on those accounts, they’d been zeroed out. When asking about the money (with the idea some nefarious person broke into the accounts and stole the money), the parents became defensive and changed the subject.
After they’d said would pray for her brother over a recent illness (indicating they’d both become Christians because as she put it “those words would never pass her lips before”), she believes they either gave all the money to the attempt to overthrow the Canadian government with the trucker convoy, or gave it all to a church.
She also says they went round the horseshoe and became super pro-Trump (in British Columbia) and anti-LGBTQ+ (when they in the past fought for those rights in Canada before most people did).
She is flummoxed.

President Zelenskiy spoke first, in English, thanking Americans for their support. He said that when the war started the first phone call of support he got was from the White House. President Biden spoke second. He talked about it being important that the president of the US be here on the anniversary of the war, and said it’s critical that there not be any doubt, none whatsoever, about US support. He said the Ukrainian people have stepped up in a way that no others have in the past. “For all the disagreement we have in our Congress on some issues, there is significant agreement on support for Ukraine. It’s not just about freedom in Ukraine, it’s about democracy at large.”

Yes, he was traumatized…still was, for some time after. Badly bruised, but a full convert on the use of airbags for backcountry skiing. Now all of our pros wear airbag equipped backpacks even when doing recreational journeys…and wear beacons.
it is funny about airbags. the guy who appraised my totaled Mazda called me in disbelief that I was still alive. I walked out of the car without a scratch, though with some bruise hematomas where the airbags whipped me, and then an interesting bag burn on the inside of my arm that kind of vaguely looked like a Mazda logo and made me assume the airbag probably had the logo imprinted on it somewhere.

Again, the view from both Right and Left Putin fans is that the West is needlessly prolong the war and suffering by supporting Ukraine with weapons and other material aid.

MTG Calls For Biden’s Impeachment Over Surprise Kyiv Visit
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was absolutely enraged by Joe Biden’s “incredibly insulting” trip to Ukraine on Monday. President Biden made a surprise appearance in Kyiv ahead of the anniversary of Russia’s invasion in a show of solidarity with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his people. But Greene interpreted Biden’s actions a little more skeptically. “Today on our President’s Day, Joe Biden, the President of the United States chose Ukraine over America, while forcing the American people to pay for Ukraine’s government and war,” Greene tweeted. “I can not express how much Americans hate Joe Biden.” She went on to express exasperation that Zelensky “can’t even wear a tie as he greets the President of the United States,” adding, “He gladly takes our money in sweat shirts and t-shirts, but Biden is dressed up. So insulting.” The MAGA congresswoman later pointed out that Biden chose to visit Ukraine instead of East Palestine, Ohio, the site of a toxic train derailment last week. “He went to Ukraine, a NON-NATO nation, whose leader is an actor and is apparently now commanding our United States military to world war,” Greene wrote. “We must impeach this America Last fool before it’s too late.”

re: #270 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷
Courtney Heard (Godless Mom), an atheist counter-apologist who lives in British Columbia, went on a podcast to explain how she lost both her parents to Qanon.
Both of her parents are atheists, socially-liberal, and college-educated. Lack-of-religion or higher education are insufficient to resist propaganda. Her mother was a teacher and her father a social worker.
(32:47)
Ms. Heard has now cut her family out of her life and keeps her children away from them.

I think telling Moscow, “President Biden will be in Kyiv in an hour and we’ve got enough firepower in the air supporting him to sweep you out of the Donbas if you so much as turn on your radar” sent a strong message. So Russia responded by saying they gave us permission.

They mentioned this in one of the ER episodes, but I have read it elsewhere as well. Ambulances are a late 20th century development. Prior to that, you either drove the person to the hospital, or, if you needed transport, you called the funeral home because they were the only ones with the equipment and vehicles to transport you like in the picture.

When an autocrat collapses, for whatever reasons, the power vacuum left in their absence encourages nothing less than a free-for-all among competing factions.

Yeah lets loosen the gun laws even more in Virginia!
Virginia might create religious exemption allowing gun background checks without photo ID
Building on past efforts to grant photo-less ID cards to Old Order Mennonite and Amish communities, the Virginia General Assembly appears set to create a religious-based exemption to rules requiring photo ID as part of the background check process for gun purchases.
Under a bill drawing bipartisan support, roughly 2,000 Virginians would gain the ability to buy firearms using special ID cards state lawmakers approved in 2019, according to the legislator sponsoring the plan.
Del. Chris Runion, R-Rockingham, told a Democratic-controlled Senate committee Monday he was advocating for the exemption on behalf of religious groups mostly located in the Shenandoah Valley that have a “quiet voice” and rarely vote or participate in government affairs.
“These folks are sportsmen and they own firearms to protect their livestock,” Runion said.

Yep, there are beginning to be discussions on what might happen within Russia if the war continues. Frum is knowledgeable observer, though not a professional geo-political strategist.
Here is a thread with a rough outline of _some_ possibilities.
Others have noted that if Prigozhin or Kadyrov start to set themselves up as warlords, Putin would likely move to liquidate them. At this point, Putin seems to be trying to keep both the regular military and the mercenary companies weakened by setting them up as competitors.
Meanwhile, inside US, it seems that a domestic political effect of the Biden visit to Ukraine is to weld anti-Biden partisans even more tightly to their pro-Putin delusions.

There is no guarantee that anyone replacing Putin will be any better, in fact, more likely even worse and more evil and dictatorial.
