I never knew how much better winter driving could be until I installed these wipers on my truck. Not only are they quality wipers, but they are HEATED. If you drive a Freightliner Cascadia with their poor wiper system where snow and ice will pile up on your wipers and not clear your windshield, you need a pair of Everblades.
Posted by Phillip M Raboin on 17th Feb 2018
Pryor to having heated blades, the windshield would ice up, then the blades would accumulate ice to the point I only had a small sliver of clear windshield I could see thru. This alway's happened when there was no place to stop. Once you did get it cleared it would take no time for this process to start again. With Everblades I don't have this worry. Its bad enough to deal with everything else in a winter storm. When I can't see the road I think that is the most dangerous.

They do work. I drive a transport truck and always had to bang my wipers every 20 minutes. With these, it keep the ice and snow off in snowy conditions, but can become over whelmed if it gets to be blizzard conditions. They would be perfect if they got hotter or larger heating coils.

While they do seem a bit pricey I love my heated blades, they keep the snow and ice from building up so well.

Best wipers ever! I've been plowing snow in the western New York (Buffalo) area for 15 years. As you can imagine, we deal with some heavy snowfalls. I started using these wipers about 5 years ago, and now I won't go plowing without them. Even during the worst conditions, I never have to stop and "flick" my wipers. Not only does this save me time, but certainly makes things safer. Although I might get 2 seasons out of a set, I typically replace them each season to ensure I won't have a problem. Our area uses a lot of salt on the roads which caused corrosion, but even if I had to buy a new set each month it would be worth it! Typically our 5 month winter is no problem for a set. Also worth noting.......I have spoken to the owner (I think) a time or 2 about my order and must say he's a great guy and service is awesome. Orders show up quickly and always fit whatever I order them for.

no problems

These make driving in freezing rain and snow a lot safer!! I would give 5 stars but did not think they wipe as good as regular all season wipers but frozen wipers build up and become dangerous to drive with. Just bought my second pair. Maybe these will clear the rain better…
Posted by T. Carter Page on 24th Oct 2017
Great product, just replaced originals that were 3-seasons old.
I've driven in blinding snowstorms, with no issues with snow and/or ice buildup on the blades. Don't know why these aren't a standard on cars, or at least an option from the dealer.
I would like to see a single connector, housing both wires, like a waterproof, two-wire trailer connector.

A real life saver

I have been using these heated wipers for app. 8 years. They are the most wonderful wipers no ice build up.

I recently had the pleasure to speak with Dana Massey, Lead Game Designer on Second Chance Heroes over at Rocket City Studios. With their first title set to release later this year what better time to dish some details on the indie developer? So if you're wondering who these guys actually are and what they're working on, pull up a chair and stay a while. A big thank you to Dana Massey for the time!
Gamer Crash: For those who may not be familiar with your studio, if you wouldn't mind, please give us a run down. Who is Rocket City Studios and how were you founded?
Dana Massey: Rocket City Studios was founded in late 2009 to create both Second Chance Heroes and all the tools necessary not only for this game, but also for future projects. The core team had worked together previously – on an MMO called Wish – and for this title, we wanted to move to a project that was more focused and, frankly, fun.
GC: Where did the name of the studio originate from?
DM: The city in which we were originally founded – Huntsville, AL – is called the Rocket City for its extensive ties to NASA. It's where Werner von Braun and his team invented the rockets necessary to send man to the moon.
GC: What games have inspired you and your team growing up?
DM: We have a pretty eclectic group of gamers in our studio. Personally, I grew up with an NES and SEGA Genesis. Obviously, the staples of the 80s played a big role in my development as a gamer (Mario, of course), but also as a Canadian I played a heck of a lot of sports games (NHL 94!!). As I grew up, I found my interests moved more into MMORPGs (Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, etc.) and games like Diablo.
What I found as I aged though was that a lot games had become overly self-serious. There's nothing wrong with the epic journey to save the world from doom, but as a company, we felt there was room for a lot lighter take on things. From day one, our goal was to make a game that put a smile on people's face.
I think the most common reaction people have when they first see our characters – whether it be Lincoln with a chainsaw, or Queen Elizabeth with a mini gun and cigar – is a childlike joy of seeing something that's just plain funny.
GC: What project is the studio currently working on?
DM: Second Chance Heroes is a cooperative arcade action adventure where you collect historical figures to fight back a monster invasion that threatens our world.
At launch, there are 12 characters for you to collect as you move through a series of dungeons that take you through a Mall, an underground Hobo Colony, and a secret government bunker. Your goal is to save the world from a rampaging horde of werewolves, zombies, vampires, aliens and, of course, sentient cheeseburgers.
Players select two characters per level and can tag in and out as they like. So far we've revealed: chainsaw wielding Abraham Lincoln, cannon riding Napoleon Bonaparte, cigar smoking Queen Elizabeth I, sword swinging Joan of Arc, electric throwing Nikola Tesla, ghost anchor hauling Blackbeard the Pirate, and knife throwing Julius Caesar. We'll be revealing five more in the coming weeks on our website.
Over time as players complete optional goals inside the levels, they also collect Historical Relics. These relics give you extra powers to use against enemies. For example, The Holy Grill lights anyone the hero attacks on fire for a brief period of time.
GC: Are you able to go into the story at all, perhaps a teaser for what players can expect?
DM: The game is set three weeks from today… no matter when today is.
For reasons not yet discovered, a plague of every monster imaginable has descended on modern society, sending it into chaos. Frustrated with the selfish world's inability to deal with this new threat, high school history teacher Hubert Beasley has taken matters into his own hands: He's cloned an army of history's greatest heroes to come back and save the day.
You play as those heroes.
GC: How did the idea come about? What were the influences in creating Second Chance Heroes?
DM: We always knew we wanted to make a funny, isometric dungeon crawler. At first, it was a bit more traditional. We had characters who you could equip silly armor onto and so on, but while fun, it wasn't all that different.
Historical characters came about somewhat ridiculously. We were trying to engineer a resistance system and at the time our damage types were Atomic, Biochemical and Electric. On a whiteboard we'd written "A + B + E =" and of course, I had to fill in a drawing of a top hat.
That got the wheels spinning and we presented it to the group originally as the idea that we'd just have a few you play as, rather than creating your own character. Derek, one of our artists, suggested he'd rather collect them… From there, Second Chance Heroes really came into its own.
GC: It may be a bit early, but how would you like to see the game evolve post release? What would you like to see added down the road?
DM: Post launch we hope to continue supporting the game with new characters, levels and game modes. It's a bit of a cliché, but we want to see how the game does and what the community wants before we commit to any specific course of action.
We do though have a roadmap of narrative beyond the secret government bunker and a list of literally hundreds of historical figures we'd love to add. I would imagine those might play some part in future expansion plans!
GC: When are you looking to launch the game, what platforms will it be available on, and is there a price point set?
DM: We will launch the game later this year on PC and Mac. We're also very interested in other platforms. We're seriously considering Linux, but we won't commit until we're absolutely sure.
We have not yet set a final price point, but this will be a single up front purchase at a very reasonable one-time price.
GC: Anything else you'd like fans and gamers to know?
DM: To make any game a success, you need lots of help. If people can show their support by voting for us on Steam Greenlight (LINK: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=146770056) that would be a huge benefit.
If you're interested in playing more, you can also sign up for Beta (LINK: https://www.2ndchanceheroes.com/beta) on our website. We frequently do tests with different sets of characters, levels and relics for people to try.

For instance, picking wider boards will render less busy style in an enormous space and choosing custom styles can also be a good choice to fit the appropriateness. Continually, thickness of the board has to suit the wall and the room as well. Lastly, you need to considerate the implementation such as moisture and water resistance when it is applied in a bath or exterior-grade fiberboard for outdoor beadboard paneling.

A Letter in Support of Donald Trump For President in 2016
I write this with hesitation. The idea of supporting Donald Trump scares me, and it should scare you as well. He is the reflection of everything that is wrong with our nation. He is in one person everything I hate and everything I love about our country. He is the anti-politician. And that is why given the chance, I will vote for him for President of the United States in 2016.
We deserve him. I don't say this in a supportive tone. I say this as, we should have known better. As a nation we have allowed the political system to be raped, repeatedly. I want to make that statement more graphic for you because rape does not cover it by half. The greed and lust for more money and the never-ending cycle of individualism has distorted my mind and yours. Our values are not values, but simply emotional impulses we react upon without logic or reason. I digress.
Donald Trump. A man with more greed than sense, made without limits or hesitations. A man made in America, made by Americans. We all know what he is. He is terrible in every essence and interpretation of the word. But let us talk about what he is not.
He is not a Bush. He is not a Clinton. He is not even a politician. He is not a Democrat or a Republican. He has no governing experience, which is fine because we no longer have a government in America. We have a corporation.
He is an American. He is a self-centered, rich, power-hungry madman. He is a reflection of what most of us strive to be. A baller. Rich. With what we would call, "beautiful women. " The man in charge; He is everything I hate.
If you want four more years of the same garbage in Washington, and I mean the lowest form of political action where the two-party system will further push us into debt and into more wars, vote for anyone else. If you want the rich to keep getting richer and the poor to keep getting murdered and imprisoned, vote for anyone else.
Is Donald Trump going to save the poor? Absolutely not. There is a much larger chance he will destroy our nation on the international stage, burning most diplomatic ties, and I can't even imagine what he will do with Israel. The ownership class will most likely assassinate him before he gets a chance, if he even makes it that far. But he is my biggest hope for change.
I don't think it will be good change, in fact just the opposite. I believe he will break our system so badly that we might actually wake up and get active about our future as the one international race of beings leading this planet, instead of just "head up our ass Americans".
That is all.

Investment banks are under pressure.
Regulation, sluggish economic activity, and political uncertainty have all combined to depress revenues.
Tougher capital and conduct rules, in the wake of the financial crisis and market manipulation scandals, have made it more difficult to make money from trading debt, currencies and commodities.
This used to be a staple of investment banks' revenue.
Meanwhile, political uncertainty, in the form of events such as the US election and the UK's vote to leave the European Union, have made companies wary about big spending projects. This, in turn, has led to less capital markets activity because there are fewer corporate projects to fund.
The big firms have been scrambling to find a new business model that more than covers the cost of their capital. Credit Suisse is a good case in point.
The bank's CEO, Tidjane Thiam, has tried to steer away from trading towards providing more services for high-net worth individuals. In May, the bank cut around 100 jobs in its London-based global markets division.
A report from Coalition, which analyses banks' revenue data, shows just how dire the situation is.
Revenue started falling five years ago, and hasn't stopped yet. Investment banking income for the first half of 2016 is lower than that of 2008 – the year that saw the fall of Lehman Brothers and the peak of the financial crisis.
Here's Coalition (emphasis ours):
"Despite a strong 2Q16 performance in FICC, 1H16 Investment Banking revenues were still weaker than 1H08, driven by weakness in IBD and Equities throughout 1H16, and a very weak 1Q16 in FICC.
With revenues under pressure, banks are trying to protect their bottom line with renewed cost saving initiatives, including further headcount cuts and optimisation of their pyramid structure."
And here are the charts:

I'm a big fan of Mark Changizi, also from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute! He has contributed a funny and interesting article on color to Discovery Magazine. Here he argues that our perception of color is anything but arbitrary, I would call him a "color naturalist".
"Why should it be acceptable to warp colors but not shapes? I'll suggest here that it's not acceptable—that once we appreciate the meaning of color it becomes apparent that we shouldn't arbitrarily engage in color distortion."

Preps Now
Milton Senter has never thought about retiring
Fuquay-Varina High baseball coach Milton Senter notched his 600th career baseball coaching victory last week.
Q. What is your best memory of your high school playing career at Fuquay?
Senter: During my playing career I was just OK. I was a decent player, all-conference in baseball and basketball, but nothing really spectacular. I played on some pretty bad teams. I think we were 1-21 in basketball one year and only won two or three baseball games. But I remember the relationships. I've always tried to stress that to my teams. Whether you play a little or a lot, it is the relationships that you will remember. Just being with one another. Being a team. That's what I remember and what I think my players will remember.
Q. Ever think of retiring?
Senter: No, not ever. I'm a part-time teacher now and I enjoy the classroom. I've got really good people working with me. I'm one of the lucky ones. I found what I liked to do early in life and I've stayed with it.
Q. Do you still throw batting practice and work on the field?
Senter: In the off season I probably throw 1,000 pitches a day five days a week. In the spring, all of the guys who work with me can throw so I don't throw on the field that much. But the field is pretty much mine. I have some standards and we work to meet them.
Q. You have some demanding standards for your players, too. On and off the field, right?
Senter: We ask a lot of our players. We demand a lot of their time. We tell them that if they are willing to put in the work that they can be a part of the team. But we expect them to do things the right way when they play, when they practice, when they are at school and when they are away from the school. But kids make mistakes. One year we had a problem and had to pull up a lot of the jayvee players to the varsity. But that team, playing with about half of who had been our varsity starters, got to within one game of the state finals.
Q. What is the most satisfying part of coaching?
Senter: Seeing the kids later. The vast majority don't go on to play baseball in college, but the vast majority do become good citizens. When you see one of them in the store and they come up to talk to you. That is a great feeling.

Plantar fasciitis can be treated in many different ways and you should always come in to see us so we can devise a treatment plan together before you try any home remedies.
With that being said, one of the treatments for plantar fasciitis the use of night splints. A night splint is a brace that attaches to not only your foot, but also the ankle and the lower leg. It's worn at night when you go to bed and its intended purpose is to stretch the plantar fascia ligament while you sleep.
The purpose of stretching out your plantar fascia is so the stress on the inflamed area of your foot is minimized. Some studies have shown that night splints actually help reduce the pain that plantar fascia patients feel when they initially get out of bed in the morning. They also have been known to reduce a patient's pain level throughout the day as they spend more time on their feet while working and performing everyday tasks.
In addition to night splints, orthotics are another treatment option for patients with plantar fasciitis. Both night splints and orthotics can treat many more disorders than just plantar fasciitis. These include, but are not limited to:
- heel spurs
- Achilles tendonitis
- pronation
With that being said, there are many additional treatment options for plantar fasciitis and in order to find out which treatment is best for you, please contact us to make an appointment.

A diverse group of backgrounds, races, ages and philosophies make up the local group Shades. Magic, the "leader" of the group, and his wife Starr relocated to California from Jamaica Queens, N.Y., with members Harmony and Kal-El in 1982, calling themselves Magic Eye. In 1983, Falcon joined the group, Merrily and Meriah in 1991, and Brian and Seth in 1997.
Since the initial move in '82, the group has always lived together. And with the addition of Roselind in 1999, the group relocated to Woodland Park. On a visit to Austin, "the family" as they're called, received the gift of a Gibson guitar from Merrily's sister. With the help of the vintage instrument, the musicians began to experiment with new styles. Soon the Earth, Wind and Fire-influenced pop style had metamorphosed into a new, eclectic brand of musical methods, and Shades was born. The new sound matched the group's philosophy: Harmony is found within diversity.
Since the new musical blend of pop, R&B, rock, blues and jazz evolved, Shades has received international acclaim, from critics and fans alike. They have appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show and The Tonight Show and have toured extensively across the United States and abroad. Their first single from their forthcoming album, Tomorrow Never Comes, is growing in popularity. The group will be performing pieces from the new album Saturday night at Tres Hombres. Tickets are $3-$5.Call 687-0625 for more info.

2012 has been the most challenging show season Delphi has had.
We cancelled our attendance at The IAO OK Blast-Off due to a critically ill guardian dog (She's doing great now!) a sick little alpaca "Aeon", and our farm sitter's surgery. We then straggled in to The Futurity with a reduced crew of 3 alpacas - but thoroughly enjoyed finally getting to see all of our show friends! A fantastic weekend. Unfortunately we totalled the truck on the way home (thanks to another trucker who was arrested for DUID). But Gratefully, only one alpaca suffered a concussion, and though we've been instructed to leave him home from the next show, he's doing well. And so, for the most part, are we. And now here we are - getting ready to head out one last time this spring, for the Great Western! Leaving behind our ulcer boy and our concussion boy for now (Watch for Aeon and Rama at the Fall Shows!) - but we are excited to see our friends at GWAS.
Update - - - unfortunately we had to cancel GWAS too. With a last minute case of diarrhea in our showstring, and relying on a friends trailer for hauling our alpacas, we couldn't risk contaminating their alpacas with ours. Next year!
Looking forward to shearing day on May 11th -
Then we get to sit back and watch for babies. Ahhhhhh -
doesn't get any better than that.
Stay tuned for baby updates!
6-12-12: Update - our first baby of the year is here and he is beautiful! Sophie has given us a rose grey Avatar son that looks Very Exciting! Stay tuned for pictures.

Refinement is a kind of dependency that indicates a historical or derivation relationship between two elements with a mapping between them. A description of the mapping can be attached to the dependency in a note. The notation for a refinement dependency is a dashed arrow labeled with the stereotype <<refines>>.
Name a Refinement shape and add other property values
Open the element's UML Properties dialog box by double-clicking the icon that represents the element in the tree view or the shape that represents the element in a diagram.
Control which property values display on a shape in a diagram by right-clicking the shape, and then clicking Shape Display Options. In the UML Shape Display Options dialog box, select and clear options to display or hide property values.
Control which property values are displayed on the Refinement shape
Right-click the shape, click Shape Display Options, and then select or clear options to show or hide values.

OK, so the big question... To update or not to update?!?
I am always very careful before switching to a new OS, but with only a $20 price tag it's hard to say no. As with any new OS there is usually always a bug or two and some changes that may take getting used to. Before upgrading I'll usually read quite a few reviews beforehand to get a feel for what the pros and cons of the update are. This blog post is to help those still sitting on the fence to make a decision.
Mountain Lion is technically nothing like Lion, which is a good thing. My experience from the first day of it's release has been a good one, It's polished, stable and way faster. In contrast, the first few weeks with Lion were frustrating to say the least. The only real concern around Mountain Lion at this stage is that many users are seeing decreased battery life in laptop devices. I have not experienced this issue with my macbook pro, however I usually have it plugged in most of the time...
Stability, speed and usability are usually what matter most to me when considering an upgrade so any useful features are an added bonus. With Mountain Lion there are quite a few added bonuses. Some of my favourite include:
Brings iMessages to the mac to allow you to message iPhone and iPad devices.
Originally another app only for iOS, allows you to create lists and tasks that can synced between your other apple devices.
Notification Center
Allows you to see information important to you within other applications at a glance.
Safari 6.0
My favourite features in the latest version of safari on Mountain Lion is the new share button and the smart search field. This isn't exactly a new feature in the browser market but a great addition to safari none the less.
Airplay Mirroring
Airplay mirroring is flawless, great for if you want to be able to non apple supported content to your big screen or give a presentation.
VIP's in Mail
My second favourite feature after Messages. VIP's allows you to add mail contacts to a special vip list so you'll never overlook an important email again.
Twitter Integration
Pretty self explanatory, saves a bit of time.
All in all, Mountain lion is a HUGE improvement over Lion and an OS I would reccomend it to anyone. Nuff Said.

5 common ELD mandate myths debunked.
June 22, 2017
The FMCSA's ELD mandate will go into full effect by the end of 2017, which means all trucks that aren't currently complying with the new law will soon have to ditch the paper logs and start using the new electronic logging devices (ELD). However, the new ELD mandate has been met with a mixed reaction from the trucking industry.
With so much "he said, she said" going on, it's tough to make heads or tails of the whole situation. Let's take a closer look at five of the most popular myths, as we separate fact from fiction.
Myth #1: The ELD mandate doesn't improve safety
Fact: It's true that the ELD doesn't control the trucks speed or dictate when to change lanes. They do however, have the ability to keep the drivers safer by informing both the driver and the dispatcher just how much time they have left behind the wheel for the day. A recent report from the FMCSA found that commercial truck drivers who were using ELDs had a significantly lower crash rate (11.7% lower) along with a much lower preventable crash rate (5.1% lower) than trucks who were using paper logs. The new ELD mandate is expected to not only save valuable time and money, but also prevent an estimated 26 deaths per year.
Myth #2: ELDs are too expensive
Fact: This might be the most common myth or misconception floating around. It stems from the fact that many existing electronic logging devices are expensive, but due to advancements in the field of trucking technology, the cost of these devices has dropped significantly. Many ELD manufacturers are actually offering the devices at a reduced and economical rate.
The FMCSA estimates that the ELD mandate will save each truck driver around 20 hours of time used to fill out and send paper logs per year. Additionally, by ditching the paper trail, each driver is set to save each driver an extra $705 per year. ELDs also benefit fleet management system users, as vehicle downtime will see a decrease of 15% and improved utilization by 13%.
Take into account the overall operational costs in the trucking industry and ELDs are a relatively cost-efficient option. Likewise, when you account for crash rates, hours of service (HOS) violations and various penalties, having an ELD in place can help avoid these issues while saving you precious time from managing paper logs.
Myth #3: ELDs automatically report any HOS violations
Fact: An ELD is connected to the engine of the truck in order to track its movement, but at no time does it ever send the data it collects to any law enforcement agencies or potential inspectors. The benefit of this is that since ELDs are replacing paper logs, roadside inspections will move along much faster. Inspection officers will be able to see areas of concern and verify HOS regulations with just a glance, meaning truck drivers can get back on the road quicker than ever. For those who still don't feel at ease, there are ELDs in place that will warn drivers before they encounter any violations.
Myth #4: Big Brother is watching you
Fact: Many truck drivers are claiming the new ELDs are an invasion of privacy, citing that it monitors their location. However, the truth is, the only people who are authorized to view this data are employees of the trucking company and only do so in order to accurately locate the general whereabouts of the trucks location. It's completely understandable that truck drivers do not want to be closely watched, which is why the ELD mandate also includes a privacy provision to provide drivers with peace of mind. When a driver is using their vehicle for personal use, location data is only available within a ten-mile radius.
Myth #5: Drivers can use their smartphone instead of an ELD
Fact: This is true to an extent. A smartphone can be used when paired with an ELD, but having a smartphone alone cannot be used in place of an ELD. The ELD mandate requires a device to be "integrally synchronized" with the truck's engine to meet the required standards. So, while a smartphone does have GPS capability, it cannot accurately track the exact number of miles traveled. The FMCSA determines what devices can officially be certified and what can't. Collecting GPS data from a smartphone is inconclusive and can cause problems in the event that an audit or inspection is needed.
Final thoughts.
A change like this can be challenging for the trucking industry. However, the FMCSA did an extensive amount of research before implementing the new ELD mandate. Their conclusive data proved that the decision to adhere to these new regulations would benefit the entire industry. As we've already seen, those who have begun to accept this new ELD technology have refused to return to the old system of paper logs – a feeling that many believe those who yet to adopt ELDs will feel soon enough.

I love snail mail. A distant friend and I have recently begun sending each other REAL MAIL, rather than emails or phone calls. It is intensely satisfying to put a pen to paper and write to a dear friend. It is also exciting to look in the mailbox and find a letter. I think this may be my new hobby. I used to write letters all the time, and I have had many pen pals over the course of my life. It all got wiped away by the internet. Email. Skype. The dreaded Facebook. Maybe I am regressing. I don't care. Modern technology and instant gratification be damned. I'm reverting to the old fashioned notion that all good things take time.
The mailbox also yielded some other excitement today: a book!!!! Creative Photography Lab by my friend Steve Sonheim with Carla Sonheim. Some photos I took using my smartphone are featured on page 23. How cool is that? Well, I think it's pretty cool.
I met the talented photographer Steve Sonheim and his wife Carla in Salida, Colorado. Now they live in Seattle and I don't get to see them as often as I would like. This new book might interest you if you want to learn how to take more expressive photographs. There are 52 exercises in the book. I have only had a chance to skim over it, but so far what I have read is great. I can't wait to do more of these exercises! I am honored and flattered that I was included. Thanks Steve! You can see more of Steve Sonheim's work here.

Last week I had the good fortune to travel to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, to have a little getaway with my sister, my eldest niece Natalie, and her friend Grace. Girls only!!! We had fun. It was the first time I had ever been to that part of Mexico. So beautiful! So relaxing! So humid! I brought back some photos and a nice little heat rash. I didn't take that many photos, except for the ones I always take with my own eyes.
Even artists need a holiday, every now and then. The visual library in my head has now been refilled. Back to the studio!
|It was nice to see a familiar face - the desert iguana. Just like the ones in Joshua Tree!

Objective: Chapter 1 Denver In this chapter, we meet Denver, who was a young black man working the plantations in Red River Parish. Walking one day, Denver encountered a white woman with car trouble and offered his assistance. Three white boys on horseback saw Denver with the white woman and accused him of harassing her. The boys decided to teach Denver a lesson and he was nearly killed when they roped him and attempted to drag him behind them. This lesson will focus on the issue of discrimination in this book.
1. Class Activity: Ask each student to write his or her own definition of the word 'discrimination' and share that definition with the class. Compare the dictionary definition of the word and note any differences between the two. Are the students' definitions based more on emotion? Is the dictionary definition based only on facts?

Xiaomi, the high flying brand from China which started rolling in early 2010 rapidly moved on to becoming the most valuable tech startup with a steep valuation of $45 billion last year. Now a year has passed; Lei Jun led company is no longer at the top of the pillar when it comes to valuation of tech startups and their smartphone sales seems to have been slightly sluggish during the last quarter.
A brand which once took bigwigs like Samsung, Sony and Apple by storm when they were just starting is gradually facing a slowdown in their sales, at least that's what is evident from quarterly smartphone sale reports of various global smartphone brands worldwide by reputed analyst firm IC Insights. Well, Xiaomi can't be entirely blamed for this as the smartphone sales itself are expected to fall this year. This however, is something to worry about for a company like Xiaomi who despite calling itself an 'Internet company' amasses 90% of its sales from smartphones.
Xiaomi has always adopted an online friendly model that helps them keep costs down thereby passing it down to its users in the form of affordable products. While affordability is one of the keys pillars of success for Xiaomi, the same can't be said for accessibility and the brand has been reputedly criticized in the past for their 'Flash Sale' model. Now, it seems that Xiaomi is all set to tackle this issue and plans to set up a number offline retails stores. In an interview with Fortune, a Xiaomi spokesperson revealed their plans of opening about 50-60 Xiaomi offline stores by end of this year and eventually expanding them to around 200-300.
Xiaomi apparently is betting big on the retail offline market to make some changes to their flattish sales graph. This however isn't the first time the Chinese tech startup is opting for an offline retail model. Led by Manu Jain, Xiaomi India had kick started the company's offline plans back in 2015 thanks to tie-ups with MobileStore and few other retail partners spread across India. However, it failed to garner much success.
This time around, the Chinese brand is planning to open Xiaomi offline stores across China, mainly targeting the smaller cities where people prefer buying products on retail stores than the company's online web portal. Xiaomi in fact has partnered with Suning, which apparently is one of the largest retailers in China with nearly 1600 stores spread across 700 cities of the country. That aside, Xiaomi operates 25 offline outlets across which the company fondly refers to as Mi Homes. These outlets showcase Xiaomi's ecosystem of products ranging from smart pressure cookers to water purifiers. As expected, these include the company's highest selling smartphones and fitness trackers too.

text: Sometimes the landscape can take your breath away- like a lover. You walk the hills and valleys, the woods and crawly places, and one turn of the trail, you look up and there it is, that quick intake of breath for the reverence of this land and its relationship to the sky. I used to joke that I work on farms so that my office/studio will have the best views around. But now, I think it's true. I have placed myself to work on land I love, with people who have the most important jobs on the earth, to grow food that sustains our life. Who care about the earth and their community. Shelburne Farms in Shelburne, Vermont, a place that I will call My Studio for the next four months, is all that and more. I am an artist-in-residence at the farm for the state wide show Of Land and Local curated by Burlington City Arts. The show opens in October, but my work will be building up all summer long as my project Contemporary Pastoralism launches. Today, I delivered materials and tools to one heck of a beautiful studio; the breeding barn at Shelburne Farms.

We can run a much bigger platform on AWS at the same cost as before, plus it's easier to take on new business.
In 2005, Erik Fjellborg was working part-time at McDonald's. He noticed that his manager frequently struggled to manage employees' schedules over the phone. As a result, Erik decided to build a system to solve the problem, and McDonald's soon became the first customer of Erik's new company—Quinyx. Today, it's one of the leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) workforce management tools for enterprise organizations and is growing by about 50 percent year over year. It helps large enterprises around the world coordinate around 2 million employees, handling 200,000 concurrent users.
- Provide a reliable, high-quality service for customers as business expands across the globe.
- Ensure robust security for employees' sensitive personal and financial information.
- Make it easy for developers to deliver an excellent product.
- Quinyx moved its test, development, and production environments from its collocation provider to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is now all in on the AWS cloud.
- The firm uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
- The DevOps team at Quinyx is also experimenting with AWS technologies such as Amazon CloudFront and the Amazon EC2 Container Service (Amazon ECS).
- Backed by a trusted brand: Quinyx handles sensitive data for businesses across Europe, and prospective customers like the fact that it sits on a secure and scalable environment that meets their compliance and performance needs.
- Platform for global expansion: International growth is now simple, cost-effective, and reliable. DevOps engineers estimate that a deployment for a new customer takes around a day, whereas before it could take up to a month.
- More efficient DevOps: By running the infrastructure as code, the two engineers who maintain the environment now spend 20 percent less time on routine management tasks, repurposing the saved time to making a better product through rapid, low-cost testing.

Mercy Ships is a Christian charity that provides vitally needed health services and education in developing nations through a fleet of three hospital ships. Founded in 1978, Mercy Ships has performed 1.5 million medical services including surgery to correct cleft lips and palates and dental procedures. The charity also treats people in rural clinics and has an education program to train rural care providers.
Like many other Christian charities, Mercy Ships treats people regardless as to their religion or racial origin in nations ranging from Tonga to Poland. The core values of the organization include faith in God, service to others, personal integrity, and a commitment to serve others with excellence. The ships in the Mercy Ships fleet dock at a location for up to six months providing health services on and off board, and then move on to another area.
Mercy Ships has two primary programs: one that provides community empowerment, and another for surgeries and health care. The community empowerment program includes literacy education, sanitation, loans for small business, agricultural training, construction projects, community health education, women's outreach, and training of health care professionals. Through the community empowerment program, Mercy Ships hopes to have a lasting impact on the communities it works in, by laying the groundwork for strong social programs and an improvement in living conditions.
The health care arm of Mercy Ships also handles a wide variety of needs ranging from emergent diseases such as HIV/AIDS to malaria education. Mercy Ships also specializes in corrective surgery for blindness and disfiguring deformities, as well as potentially dangerous health conditions such as tumors, burns, injuries sustained during combat, women's health issues, and dental care. Outreach programs help to educate people about proper dental hygiene and self care to prevent the onset of serious illnesses.
Volunteers staff the Mercy Ships and the offices of the organization, some serving long tours and others short ones. The charity is supported by donations from the public, grants, and assistance from pharmaceutical companies who assist Mercy Ships by providing low cost medical supplies. Many Christian organizations support Mercy Ships, as it encompasses traditional Christian values of compassion for others and loving care for the forgotten poor. Their policy of caring for all people in need regardless as to race, gender, and religion has directly impacted the lives of millions and improved living conditions for countless others.

E-Commerce websites can be hard work to manage, especially when there are hundreds of thousands of products being added or removed from the site.
There are a few main mistakes that managers (owners or webmasters) of these sites often make that can have a negative impact on search engine optimisation (SEO) and search engine rankings. Fixing up and maintaining the four following points can help the site not only rank better, according to the current algorithms, but also assist in safe-guarding the site against future updates.
1) Ensure your product descriptions are not duplicated from other sites or the supplier site
This is a point that we cannot stress enough to clients that have e-commerce stores.
We have all heard the phrase 'content is king', but Search Engines don't like duplicate because it is too 'easy'. It is deemed 'easy' to copy and paste a product description from another site. It's 'hard' to go and write unique content, which also takes more time. Coming up with your own description adds value to the reader and ensures that the Penguin algorithm won't hit your site.
While you're rewriting your product descriptions, you might as well ensure its not thin content!
2) Ensure the products don't have duplicate meta titles and descriptions, and don't use a formula
Like the on-page content, the meta data should not be duplicated from the page or from other meta titles and descriptions on your site. This allows for the best SEO results.
It is also not advised to use a 'formula' to generate meta data that slips the keywords into a sentence, which is then distributed site-wide. For example:
At Example Shop, we stock ____ in several sizes and colours. If you're looking for _____ online, browse our website today!
Search Engines can see through this; changing two words in a sentence is still deemed as duplicate content!
When crafting the meta data, think about descriptive long-tail phrases that someone searching for that product might type in. This can help the product to rank for long-tail phrases.
3) Ensure the site isn't duplicating products in different categories
Sensing a trend here? Denounce duplication! Having a product in two categories with the page being copied on two different URLs can create duplicate content issues within your site.
For example, there may be the 'Blue Men's Polo' shirt being displayed on the below URL in the 'Men's Clothing' category:
And the same product with the exact same content displayed in the 'Men's Gifts' category with this URL:
What's the solution? Ask your web developer to setup 'canonical URLs' to ensure search engines are advised that one product is referencing another product and to avoid duplication issues. This is also called 'setting a preferred URL for content' or 'content syndication'. Click here for more information.
4) Ensure broken links are minimised!
Broken links (also referred to as 404 errors) occur when a page is removed from a website or a URL is changed and there's no redirect in place. Often when you remove a page or product, there are hyperlinks still either on your site or other sites going to the page which is now missing – creating a broken link.
To explain this further, think of your website as a book and each page on the website is like a page of the book. If a page is ripped out, but it's still mentioned in the table of contents (i.e. your sitemap.xml), and it's also referred to on other pages (hyperlinks), a user won't be able to find that page if they try to search for it.
When a product is removed because it's out of stock or not being sold anymore, the page is often removed or 'ripped out', creating a broken link. So why do you need to worry about broken links? 404 errors have a negative effect on user experience and can make your site look unreliable to search engines.
To stop this, there are two things that you can do to minimise broken links, of which we recommend a combination of both.
The first is to put a manual 301 redirect on pages/products that have been removed to the most relevant page.
The second is to create a 404 error page to advise a user that a page no longer exists and points them in the direction of a more suitable page. For example:
'Sorry, we are no longer stocking the Men's Blue Polo Shirt, however you may be interested in the Men's Green Polo Shirt or the Men's Red Polo Shirt '
Following the above four points should help to ensure you're running a successful and smoother e-commerce website. If you need advice on making sure your online store is setup correctly for search engines, contact the Results First specialists.

Democrats Fighting To End Smartphone Privacy
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
(U.S. Const. amend. IV)
Until the past few years with the rise of NSA spying and TSA pat downs, the Fourth Amendment has not been talked about as much as the Second or First. That does not make it any less important, as a matter of fact eliminating Fourth Amendment Rights, pretty much eliminates First & Second Amendment rights along with them.
Recently, Democrats in both New York and California have introduced bills that would outright ban the sale of mobile devices with encryption technology. The similar bills introduced in California by State Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Elk Grove) and in New York by Assemblyman Matthew Titone (D-Staten Island), if passed, would require all smartphones that are sold to be "capable of being decrypted and unlocked by its manufacturer or its operating system provider."
Via endgadget:
Cooper's reasoning puts a novel spin on the same, tired "The police can't do their jobs unless tech companies do it for them" argument. This time, he used human trafficking as the boogeyman that needs defeating and which can only be accomplished if the government has unfettered, disk-level access to its citizens' cell phones.
"If you're a bad guy [we] can get a search record for your bank, for your house, you can get a search warrant for just about anything," Cooper told ArsTechnica. "For the industry to say it's privacy, it really doesn't hold any water. We're going after human traffickers and people who are doing bad and evil things. Human trafficking trumps privacy, no ifs, ands, or buts about it." Apparently human trafficking also trumps the 4th Amendment as well. Read more…
Forcing everyone into using un-encrypted mobile devices and opening up not just the government sector thieves but private sector thieves as well to be able to access your private information is much worse. People use their smart phones today for banking, medical information and a whole host of other legal activities that require privacy.
While I agree that human trafficking is a disgusting and vile criminal activity that has to be stopped, it is not more important than the fundamental right to privacy. If a warrant can be obtained for all those other things it can be obtained to search a smart phone as well.
Woman Asks Firefighters To Unlock Her Chastity Belt
I guess that would sure make for an interesting night at the fire house.
Via The UK Telegraph:
A middle-aged woman in Italy was forced to ask the fire brigade for help after she lost the keys to her chastity belt.
The woman, who has not been named under Italian privacy law, turned up at a fire station on Wednesday morning in Padua, in Italy's Veneto region, and said she needed help with a lock she could not open.
Firefighters, believing she had locked herself out of her house, began asking for details about where she lived.
It was only then that the woman revealed the specific nature of the problem, pulling up a jumper to reveal an iron chastity belt.
"I've lost the keys to a lock and I can no longer open it," she told a group of stunned firefighters at the fire station in San Fidenzio. Read More…
At first the firefighters were concerned that the woman may have been a victim of sexual abuse. That turned out not to be the case as she confessed to having had worn the belt voluntarily to prevent herself from riding the bologna pony.
I remember back during Barack Obama's first term, cringing in disgust when video of grade-school children being taught a song praising the President made the rounds. It was very reminiscent of the Hitler Youth and fit in pretty well amongst the cult of personality that was built up around Obama.
It couldn't happen on our side I thought.
Enter the USA Freedom Kids, who performed at a campaign rally for Donald Trump this past Wednesday in Pensacola, Florida.
The brainwashed girl group is the brainchild of 53-year-old Florida 'businessman,' and one time 80's Hollywood stuntman, Jeff Popick.
I don't know what's worse the three poor girls brainwashed and forced to perform, the Trump talking point lyrics of the song, or the fucking idiots in attendance smiling and clapping at the creepy performance.
I want to try write my next statement to make sure that there is zero chance that my thoughts on this get misinterpreted.
If you support the Donald Trump campaign and further more if you enjoy and support the this vile and disgusting propaganda in support of his campaign, not only are you a complete fucking moron — but that piece inside of you that makes you a decent human being, is probably missing.
Furthermore, to call this act "the USA Freedom Kids," is a fucking joke. The Donald is just about as far from advancing the cause of Freedom as you can get, except of course maybe Bernie Sanders, but at this point I'm not even sure anymore.
"To me, freedom is everything," Popick said in a telephone interview with The Washington Post. "That's what this group is about. That's what I'm about. Freedom for everybody. That's the inspiration."
For the past seven years now, the so-called philosophical "right," have argued that President Barack Obama does not care about the law. Dear Leader, is what I and many others who are opposed to his actions have called him. An authoritarian, a dictator and emperor is what we have called him.
Now, many of those same people are gravitating like flies on shit to Donald Trump who is all of those same things we've hated Barack Obama for, albeit wrapped in the American Flag.
My initial thought during the early stages of Donald Trumps latest flirtation with the Oval Office was to laugh and call him a circus clown. However, the more and more his popularity grows, as a lover of liberty, I am downright terrified for what the future may bring with a Donald Trump Presidency.
We should not laugh, we should not joke, because the truth is Donald Trump is a bigger threat to liberty and the American way of life then Barack Obama ever was.
As the great Jeffrey Tucker wrote this past July after witnessing a Trump speech:
It's not too interesting to say that Donald Trump is a nationalist and aspiring despot who is manipulating bourgeois resentment, nativism, and ignorance to feed his power lust. It's uninteresting because it is obviously true. It's so true that stating it sounds more like an observation than a criticism.
I just heard Trump speak live. It was an awesome experience, like an interwar séance of once-powerful dictators who inspired multitudes, drove countries into the ground, and died grim deaths.
His speech at FreedomFest lasted a full hour, and I consider myself fortunate for having heard it. It was a magnificent exposure to an ideology that is very much present in American life, though hardly acknowledged. It lives mostly hidden in dark corners, and we don't even have a name for it. You bump into it at neighborhood barbecues, at Thanksgiving dinner when Uncle Harry has the floor, at the hardware store when two old friends in line to checkout mutter about the state of the country.
The ideology is a 21st century version of right fascism — one of the most politically successful ideological strains of 20th century politics. Though hardly anyone talks about it today, we really should. It is still real. It exists. It is distinct. It is not going away. Trump has tapped into it, absorbing unto his own political ambitions every conceivable bourgeois resentment: race, class, sex, religion, economic. You would have to be hopelessly ignorant of modern history not to see the outlines and where they end up.
For now, Trump seems more like comedy than reality. I want to laugh about what he said, like reading a comic-book version of Franco, Mussolini, or Hitler. And truly I did laugh, as when he denounced the existence of tech support in India that serves American companies ("how can it be cheaper to call people there than here?" — as if he still thinks that long-distance charges apply).
Let's hope this laughter doesn't turn to tears. Read More…
Associating Donald Trump with "Freedom," is like associating Miley Cyrus with modesty. True conservatives have worked tirelessly for decades to dispel the lies propagated by liberals that those opposed to their ideals are akin to Nazi's and fascists — when in fact it is they whose ideals resemble both Hitler & Mussolini's versions of National Socialism the most.
Now in 2015, a large swath of fucking assholes are ready to throw that all away by supporting the totalitarian ambitions of Donald Trump.
A world where Donald Trump is the only answer to the garbage that comes from the progressive left, is too scary a thought to fathom — it is not a place that I want to live.
Bunny Ranch Owner Running For Nevada State Senate
While the sex workers at his world famous "Moonlite Bunny Ranch" legal brothel in Carson City, Nevada have banded together behind the campaign of Democratic Party Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton as "Hookers 4 Hillary," Dennis Hof is running for public office as a Libertarian.
Via The Las Vegas Review-Journal:
Hof spokesman Richard Hunter championed the brothel businessman as an advocate for making vice legal, calling prohibition efforts a refusal by the government to create regulations on activities that will occur anyway and only lead to crime without rules in place.
"The only people who appreciate alcohol or prostitution being illegal are politicians and drug dealers," Hunter said.
Hunter said Hof frequently drives among his brothels in northern and southern Nevada and as a result is aware of how much of Nevada is government-controlled land. Hof wants to return public lands to private citizens, Hunter said.
Another issue for Hof is lowering the drinking age to 18.
"Why is that?" Hunter said. "You can go to war when you're 18, you can vote when you're 18, and 18 is the age to get into the Moonlite BunnyRanch."
Hunter said voters can expect to see the candidate advocate for privacy.
"Dennis has made a business out of protecting people's right to privacy, frankly," Hunter said. Read More…
Hof said he chose the Libertarian Party after being introduced to Libertarianism by John Stossel. He was originally considering a bid for the U.S. Senate, but decided against being beholden to special interests for money.
"You just can't get the $5 million to 10 million without whoring yourself out and I'm not going to do that," he said. "There's a lot of people willing to give me money, but there's a payback. I'm not going to compromise my principles."
A brothel owner with principles? He's no where near sleazy enough to be a politician.

Crowbar's Kirk Windstein On Obama's Fake Tears
I'm not normally one to get all excited when somebody from Hollyweird or a music celebrity espouses a politically oriented view that tends to agree with me, as many other on the non-liberal side of the political spectrum seem to do. I have posted stuff in the past when Jonathan Davis of KoRn said stuff about Barack Obama and didn't get too excited about it.
But when Kirk Windstein, the motherfucking Lord of the Riff does it? That just makes this metalhead's heart fill up with joy.
As reported by Blabbermouth.net, in a public post on his personal Facebook page, former Down guitarist and frontman for Crowbar, Kirk Windstein addressed Dear Leader's unconstitutional and lawless gun-grab announcement by accusing the President of putting on a show for political purposes.
He wrote:
Fuck yeah Kirk! I feel the exact same way.
Also, despite my fierce belief in the 2nd Amendment, I too am not actually a gun owner. But that has absolutely no bearing in believing that the fundamental right of American citizens to keep and bear arms is sacred.
If you plan on committing armed robbery, it is probably not a very good idea to snap a selfie with your victim. It's just common sense.
That lesson was not one that was given to Victor Almanza-Martinez, who was arrested last week after police tracked him down thanks to a Snapchat selfie he took with one of his victims.
Two of his accomplishes are still on the loose.
Via KNTV:
It occurred at Lovers Point Park, according to the Pacific Grove Police Department. Victor Almanza-Martinez, 18, of Castroville, and two other men allegedly approached four victims and robbed them of their belongings, including keys to a 2013 black Chrysler 200.
The suspects fled in the Chrysler, which is still missing, but not before Almanza-Martinez and one of the female victims exchanged Snapchat information and posed for a selfie together, police said. Read More…
Heavy metal lost a legend today.
Lemmy Kilmister, 70, of Motorhead has passed away.
MOTÖRHEAD mainman Lemmy died earlier today at the age of 70, it has been confirmed by his manager.
Lemmy dealt with some serious health issues recently, forcing the indulgent rock legend to scale back on alcohol and kick his cigarette habit. Though Lemmy had made some positive steps forward, he had been struggling with poor health in recent months, leading to MOTÖRHEAD's touring schedule being disrupted.
The rock icon recently claimed that he was doing just fine and was people to stop asking about his health.
He told Classic Rock: "I'm sick of the fucking, 'Are you going to die?' line of questioning. It's getting really old, that question. I'm alright. I'm going out there and doing my best.
"I have good days and bad days but mostly I've been doing alright. The last tour of the States was very good."
Lemmy, who turned 70 years old on December 24, told Classic Rock he had no intention of retiring.
He said: "It's when you get to 60 when everything starts to go pear-shaped. Everyone thinks that becoming an older guy is easy, but you never consider it fully. It comes as quite a shock. But the thing is, I don't want to give in to it."
Lemmy previously said that he didn't expect to still be here at 30. Read More…
On Donald Trump & My Divorce From Conservatism
I'm not a prolific blogger by any means, the closest I got to blog stardom was with my old and long-since shut down Right Wing Rebel site, when I got quoted by the official website for the Presidential campaign of the late, great Fred Thompson.
I'm fine with that, I never stared blogging in an attempt to become one of the next great voices in Conservative new media. I started blogging because I like playing around with web design and sometimes feel like I have something interesting to say that I want to get out.
I haven't really done much of either lately.
Lately there has been something gnawing at me and festering deep inside that I just had to let out.
I am no longer a Conservative.
I have Donald Trump and more importantly, his supporters to thank for my new-found revelation.
Now, truth be told its been something that has brewed for a while now, years actually. I've alluded to this in the past without actually coming out and saying it before. I've written blog posts about "The death of Conservatism," many times before after being inspired by the likes of John McCain, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. I've just could never make that last step, that final push until now.
It just took the reality TV star Presidential Campaign of the Donald and the love and devotion of his adoring supporters to be that final nudge that would push me over the cliff.
Thank you Donald Trump. For now I have seen the light.
If Conservatives, many of whom I once thought I respected could actively support Donald Trump in his quest to win the Presidency, then it has finally happened. Conservatism is truly dead and buried.
Just about the only thing that Donald Trump has going for him is that he is an asshole. Apparently there are those who have claimed or do claim to be "true conservatives" who have such a deep seeded desire to see an unfiltered, loud-mouth, tell it like it is type in the White House — that they have completely bought in to the idiocy that is The Donald.
We have actually already had a few assholes occupy the Oval Office, the current Asshole-in-Chief and his two predecessors come to mind. The thing with the Donald however, he's the first candidate in quite a long time to come close to sniffing that Oval Office air that actually talks like an asshole.
The thing is that no matter what measuring stick you use, there is no way in hell that The Donald is a Conservative, not by a long shot. He's not even a Republican.
John McCain has fantasized about and even flirted with the idea of changing political affiliation for a long time. The Donald has actually done it. As a matter of fact he has switched political allegiances more times than rapper Sean Combs has changed names.
He's done it about five times since the 80's, he's switched parties three times since 2001.
Hell in 2008 The Donald actually supported the Barack Obama campaign.
"I was his biggest cheerleader," the reality TV star told Sean Hannity on FOX News in 2011. "If you go back three years, I'm saying, 'Do a great job.' I wanted him to do a great job. I still want him to do a great job."
We are to believe that somebody who just a few short years ago supported Barack Obama is a true, dyed-in-the-wool conservative?
How about the way that the Donald has made some of his billions. An integral part is by using the strong-arm of the government to level whole neighborhoods, destroying homes and small businesses so he can build another huge building.
Yeah, the authoritarian use of eminent domain, that's very conservative all right.
In 2000 he supported gun control, abortion, higher taxes and socialized medicine, now some of the same so-called "conservatives" who called Mitt Romney a "flip flopper" are saying that the Donald "evolved."
In 2012 he said that Mitt Romney of all people was too harsh on illegal immigration,
Yet today, his brain-dead sheeple think he's going to deport all the illegals and build a giant wall.
You are bigger idiots then Obama's supporters if you believe that.
The only reason that anyone supports the Donald is because he is a walking, talking big fuck you to the establishment media and to the elites in both parties. That desire to stick it to the establishment, is so strong that his supporters are blind to the fact that Trump is not one of us. He doesn't believe in liberty, he doesn't believe in the Constitution or anything for that matter other than in his own damn self.
He is completely devoid of any Conservative principles and bases all of his decision-making on whichever direction the winds of populism are blowing.
I'd say don't be fooled, but it's too late. I can't believe that there are many Conservatives, whom I respected that have bought into his garbage.
Barry Goldwater is rolling in his grave. Which brings me to the predicament in which I and many like-minded people find ourselves in. Where do I fit in the current state of the Conservative movement.
The answer is, I don't.
Dale Watson, one of my favorite country music singers, hates country music. I know that may not seem to make any sense on the surface, but when you dwell deeper into it — it makes perfect sense. Dale Watson used to fight for the tradition of Country music, but in recent years has decided that war is a losing effort. Country music has changed.
Watson is old school country music in the Merle Haggard, George Jones mold. The stuff that get's played on country music radio today is a far, far cry from that. Sadly, when the general population today thinks of "country music," they think of Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean and other such pop garbage.
Watson knows he doesn't fit in with that.
Via The Lincoln Journal Star:
Dale Watson didn't want to come up with a new tag for the music he champions and plays. He didn't have a choice.
A hardcore Texas honky tonker, Watson watched as real country music was pushed to the margins in Nashville as the Music City labels pumped out contemporary country that's influenced as much by hip-hop and '70s mainstream rock as it is by Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and Faron Young.
"We were cast out," Watson said in an interview from Austin. "It was occupied country music. They took over the name, they took over the house. We were left out in the field. We were too country for country and not rock enough for rock 'n' roll. We didn't have a home."
So Watson created a place for honky tonk, western swing, rockabilly and outlaw country.
"If anybody wants to know where what used to be called country music is, it's in a home called Ameripolitan, right on the corner of original street and roots boulevard," he said. Read More…
The current state of Conservatism has been infected, much like "Country Music" has been ruined by flat-billed ball-cap wearing, "bro-country" douche-bags. Conservatism has been infected by its own set of douche-bags. Donald Trump supporter's are like drunken Bud Light fueled Luke Bryan fans destroying the venue after a show.
True Conservatives have been cast out from the movement. I find myself being too conservative for conservatism and not libertarian enough for libertarianism.
I don't know what to call myself moving forward, "liberty republican" or "republitarian," or something else altogether. I just know I'm no longer a Conservative… and I'm all right with that.
