We had an Opinal when I was a kid. It was Mom's. She used to work at the NYC Woolworth Bldg. during WW2 and lots of interesting stuff flowed through the upper floors there. I haven't seen it since the 70s when I left home and i forgot to ask about it before I sold that house in the 90s. Actually I hadn't even thought about it in decades. My memory is every few decades the lock collar needs a gentle squeeze with a pliers because wear makes it loose otherwise.
I can attest the Buck 110 is excellent for slicing ham or steak or just about anything edible. You can gut & skin a deer with one or slice up a roast beef and the next day whittle some wood with it. Soft and hard Arkansas keep it shaving sharp.
The slightly thinner blade of the Dewalt should also prove excellent on meat. It came already razor sharp (literally) and after 5 months of carry/daily use it is still just as sharp. That ceramic coat I think is why.
Some of my friends are in the 40+ years of knowing them, but a few are newer than that with one only being of 7 years and another of 20. I think friendship is not only about how long, but also about how well you both understand each other and knowing you agree on most things and have each other's back.
LoL, I have had folks visit, or spend a few nights here who never knew there was a key stash somewhere outside, and who never even realized safes or vaults even exist. I call them casual friends.
Trusted friends are for those days when you get in a car accident 70+ miles from home, go to a hospital there, but need someone to go in your house and feed your pets. The kind of folks you know won't disturb your stamp collection. You probably have a key to their house too.
A trusted friend is someone who knows where in your woods the spare keys the house and vehicles are stashed. An absolutely best friend is the person who knows the combinations to the different safes and who also knows of the secret entrance to your (literal) cave and what supplies are stored in there.
NASA and the Japan Space Agency have plans to build the 3rd temple on Pluto. It will take a few years to get the funding together so feel free to sin for a few more years *at least 140) before having to tell a preacher you wish to be baptized.
We had 8 days of rain, followed by 2 days of no rain and are now in the midst of day 4 of rain. My grass has grown 2 feet and I can;t do a thing to prevent it while the rain continues.
Actually the tax payers would much rather our unemployment issues be resolved by repairing crumbling bridges and widening roads. A factory can turn out steel girders, or tanks. I vote for steel girders to repair bridges with.
There is a portion of this tale that conflicts with what I know. The part about financial gain.
I have a friend who as she approaches 30 was contacted by a hospital she had worked at and was offered $8,000 US if she consented to answer a personal history quiz, do some blood work and then anonymously donate some eggs for implant into someone wanting a child with a good chance of a certain intellect and a positive personal history.
What is making her hesitate is that other women who have gone through the procedure advise her the process is a very painful process.
If you sign up at a nursing school to become a Certified Nursing Assistant and then go to work in an institution full of the disabled and the comatose you will have plenty of daily opportunity to physically inspect both male and female parts as you daily give sponge baths, replace fouled bedding and change out catheters. What fun, not. LoL
The US State department in the early 2000s released newly declassified documents from the time of Teddy Roosevelt. Amongst them were some back and forth correspondence from T. Roosevelt's administration concerning Korea. In July 1905 in a Secret cable sent to Japan President Roosevelt specifically (illegally) approved the annexation of Korea by Japan. He then ordered the US State Department to cease dealings with Korea. As the Russo Japanese War wound to a close Roosevelt negotiated on Japan's behalf recieving the Nobel Peace prize after the war ended. Although the notes of Secretary Taft's meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister Katsuro Taro (known as the Taft–Katsura Agreement) were made public in 1924, President T. Roosevelt's Secret cable to the Japanese Emperor approving Japan ruling Korea was not. His role in arranging the subsequent November 1905 invasion (which led to the Eula Treaty) and colonization of Korea by Japan in 1910 was mostly kept Secret from the public and the House of Congress for another 90 years.
Kim Il-sung, born in 1912, had become a communist and was arrested as a subversive by Japanese police in Korea in 1929 and formally joined the Communist Party of China in 1931. In 1935, Kim became a member of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, and began working and fighting against the Japanese colonial authorities. At the age of 24 he became the leader of the 3rd division of that guerrilla group in command of several hundred fighters. In 1937 during the Battle of Pochonbo inside Korea he captured the town from the Japanese and managed to hold it for several hours destroying the local police station and other govt buildings before his tiny force was repulsed. By the end of World War II although his formal education had stopped at the eighth grade, he was also an officer in the Soviet MVD.(ancestor of the KGB and the current FSB). I concur that the division of Korea into 2 countries was both post Japan and at the end of WWII. Not that it made any difference to Kim Il-Sung. He himself was known to describe the Soviet presence in his homeland as a necessary evil of the time, but his goal until death was a strong unified Korea free of foreign control.
Everything about his grandson's behavior today strongly implies he continues towards the same end goal as his grandfather. A strong, unified Korea free of foreign control.
Nah, if that was his goal he wouldn't have had his brothers murdered. His Grandfather's dream was one Korea like it was before US President Teddy Roosevelt authorized Japan to invade way back when. That is the goal.
Option 2. They are just like the men and often play outside the home. Going shopping, going to the hair dresser, getting my nails done, lots of excuses involving 20 minute tasks that sometimes take half the day and sometimes they come home freshly showered or wearing different clothing than when they left. Just like the men do, LoL
It is worth noting there were also racial laws dealing with Asians (such as in several states all Asians including those who just looked Asian had to live in designated China Town areas regardless of whether Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Philippine, Burmese, etc.) which is why Chinatowns were usually very crowded places. There were also Federal laws dealing with the Native people of America (i.e., the Indians) and the Hispanics of Puerto Rico. It wasn't until an Executive Order of President Eisenhower suddenly allowed Hispanic Puerto Ricans to come to the mainland they could. NY immediately reacted by declaring all such Hispanics had to live in a new area carved off Harlem and then under developed parts of northern Manhattan, Spanish Harlem. Of course the Puerto Ricans kept coming and Southern Blacks kept moving North so the two Harlems merged, but also kept growing. Suggested Reading: "The Warmth of Other Suns."
You would have to check the history of the laws of each of the US states before 1964. 1964 of course being the date of passage of the Civil Rights Act. Each state treated people of color differently. Some changed their laws after Reconstruction began, some refused to. What your parents were determined where you could live, what streets you could walk on after sundown, what you could own and how you had to travel, drink from a water fountain, and even whether or not you could use a public bathroom or had to go in the woods like the animal white society considered you to be. If your skin was light (like Meghan's) and you tried to pass yourself off as white (an action called passing) and you got caught the penalty was usually quite severe. The laws suddenly changed in 1964 when I was 10, but the attitudes of many of the older people didn't. Only as those who embraced the old culture of bigotry being a good thing age and die off one by one does change slowly come.
Ekself in the US, in several states there existed actual laws declaring any person possessing as little as one eigth of black blood to be non-white. Such laws have been largely repealed of course, but the perception still exists and many people of mixed parentage do indeed identify not only with being American, but also as African American.
Obviously, after Vice President Pence promised to do to Kim what was done to Qaddafi when he dropped his nuclear weapons program in return for American promises of a greater economic future once Kim gets rid of his own nuclear weapons program the North Koreans also now realize Americans are friendly and not hateful.
As long as he gives you his password and lets you read his correspondence on the dating site, don't worry about it. It is when he doesn't want you to know what he wrote other women or what they wrote him is when you need to worry.
Actually Snook, if you bother to watch the first video you will see you are wrong. She bottles anti-matter Hydrogen for a living (yet, another occupation my old high school guidance counselors never even hinted at). Only a few atoms at a time, and thus far for about 15 minutes as the maximum, but bottled it is.
She would bottle more, but the stuff currently is so hard to make and then you have to detect it, then catch it and put it in the bottle before it is gone as a flash. Currently, amongst many other experiments she is attempting to measure how anti matter Hydrogen reacts to gravity. The existence of anti matter Hydrogen of course implies eventually we will be able to make anti matter Deuterium and Tritium. Beyond where she is today, but still one must wonder what properties fusion with anti matter Tritium would possess. Likewise getting anti matter Hydrogen to hang around long enough to make anti matter Helium and other elements is probably the work of the next generation. We see the Standard Model of the Universe may be correct and it began with equal amounts of both kinds of matter. But we have no idea, yet, why after the process of mutual annihilation began the result was much more matter than there was anti matter left. Currently using the detectors shown in the video we are finding that in our whole Universe there is only about one galaxy's worth of mass (less every day of course) of anti-matter. Something about the properties of anti-matter allowed the CP variation (explained in her video) to occur so that the Universe did not simply immediately destroy itself with constant collision annihilation, but instead the anti-matter became rarer and rarer.
Ash - In another wonderful video she discusses the dark. We know the dark is growing, but since it is really hard to see, and even hard to know when you do have a bottle of it (since it is part of the all), it may be a few years before jars of 'dark' are available for purchase.
Well, Tara (the speaker) has more recently determined everything is so 'dark', that there is much more 'dark' than was suspected, so of course it is all downer.
She did, by the way, enjoy the portrayal of her CERN group's work in Angels and Demons, and only wishes her bottles could someday hold that many anti matter atoms.
