Shanghaiing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shanghaiing or crimping is the practice of kidnapping people to serve as sailors by coercive techniques such as trickery, intimidation, or violence. Those engaged in this form of kidnapping were known as crimps. The related term press gang refers specifically to impressment practices in Great Britain's Royal Navy.
Etymology
The verb "shanghai" joined the lexicon with "crimping" and "sailor thieves" in the 1850s, possibly because Shanghai was a common destination of the ships with abducted crews. The term has since expanded to mean "kidnapped" or "induced to do something by means of fraud."
Background
The role of crimps and the spread of the practice of shanghaiing resulted from a combination of laws, economic conditions, and the shortage of experienced sailors in England and on the American West Coast in the mid-19th century.
First, once an American sailor signed on board a vessel for a voyage, it was illegal for him to leave the ship before the voyage's end. The penalty was imprisonment, the result of federal legislation enacted in 1790. (This factor was mitigated by the Maguire Act of 1895 and the White Act of 1898, and finally abolished by the Seamen's Act of 1915.)
Second, the practice was driven by a shortage of labor, particularly of skilled labor on ships

Murder of Botham Jean
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On September 6, 2018, off-duty Dallas Police Department patrol officer Amber Guyger entered the Dallas, Texas, apartment of Botham Jean and shot and killed him. Guyger said that she had entered the apartment believing it was her own and that she shot Jean believing he was a burglar. The fact that Guyger, a white police officer, shot and killed Jean, an unarmed black man, and was initially only charged with manslaughter resulted in protests and accusations of racial bias. On October 1, 2019, Guyger was found guilty of murder. The next day, she received a sentence of ten years in prison.

Cop who shot man after mistaking his apartment for her own made "unreasonable errors," prosecutor says
UPDATED ON: SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 / 6:36 PM / CBS/AP
Guyger was returning to the Dallas apartment complex where she lived in an apartment on a different floor from Jean after working a 13-and-a-half-hour shift September 6, 2018, a prosecutor said.

Ex-lover of officer who shot neighbor acknowledges racy texts but denies planned rendezvous
SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 / 6:50 AM / CBS/AP
Dallas — The police force partner of former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger acknowledged that they had a sexual relationship and exchanged sexually explicit text messages and photos with her the day she shot Botham Jean. However, Martin Rivera denied making plans to rendezvous with Guyger later that night, as prosecutors suggest.
Prosecutors contend Guyger was distracted by a telephone conversation with Rivera when she mistook Jean's apartment for hers and entered, believed him to be an intruder and shot him.
Prosecutors questioned Rivera extensively about a 16-minute phone conversation he had with Guyger as she headed to her apartment that night in September 2018. Asked what it was about, he said he believes it was mostly about police work but his memory of the call was hazy. Again, however, he denied that it involved plans to see Guyger later that evening.
Prosecutors said that after Guyger shot Jean, she deleted the logs of her text exchanges with Rivera from her cellphone. Rivera said he didn't know why she had done this but acknowledged having done the same as well.
CBS DFW reports that those racy messages have been recovered and Rivera then testified about the messages.
Prosecutor Jason Hermus: "Would you send provocative photographs of yourself to Amber Guyger?"
Corporal Rivera: "Uh, yes."
One text from Guyger read, "Wanna touch?" around 9:30 the night of the deadly shooting.
At 10:02 p.m., Rivera received a text from Guyger, "I need you. Hurry."
At 10:03 p.m., Guyger texted Rivera, "I *ucked up."
Prosecutor said Guyger typed those last messages while she was on the phone with 911 saying she's shot Jean.
Jean family attorney Daryl Washington called the messages revealing.
"At the time that Botham was struggling to take his very last breath, we saw a police officer who was more concerned about herself and was sending off text messages," Washington said.
Guyger was off duty but still in uniform when she shot Jean. She told investigators that after a 15-hour shift she parked on the fourth floor of the complex's garage - rather than the third floor, where she lived - and found the apartment's door ajar.
Three days later, Guyger was arrested for manslaughter. She was subsequently fired from the Dallas Police Department and charged by a grand jury .
The jury will have to decide whether Guyger committed murder, a lesser offense such as manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide, or no crime at all.

Hiding behind religion like so many other United States American hypocrites.

Kerry Burgess, June 25, 2018 at 3:41 PM
You only care about that Jesus bible-thumper crap because you're SCARED.
You're scared because scam-artists convinced you the Bogey Man is real.
Now you're terrified of mortality and you NEED to do anything you can to kiss the ass of your imaginary God.
Pathetic.
Kerry Burgess, March 04, 2018 2:57 pm
On a side-note, all those modern day Jesus Christ bible-thumpers in particular, along with their equally wacko nutjob religious cowards and hypocrites they ALL are, developed a sense of Armageddon for various reasons. The pending Rapture is a fairly new psychological construction, as I understand it. Something invented here in America by some lameoid bible-thumper to boost his revenue, like Billy Graham, at his Jesus Store. In the distant past, the so-called Christians were tormented because of religious competition among their fellow superstitious cavemen and that turmoil created a sense of impending doom among those dim-wits.

And then a few hours ago, walking back along that same sidewalk from the same place, I was imagining a long line of thought about sitting in a bar-room with some fellow police officers, as was I. I was talking about how religious people are cowards. I was thinking specifically about that "Falling Waters" episode with the police officer with the towel around his head. I was saying that not only are religious people cowards, a relevant topic because I was justifiably concerned about risking my life to help cowards, but also I was saying that any person sitting there now and getting drunk at that table and who did not denounce right then religion as cowardice was not only a coward but ALSO a hypocrite.
I thought extensively that line of thought earlier today walking back here.
Oh, and I was saying, as I have said before, I have no sin.
Sin is for faggots in the closet. Sin is for the people sexually abused as children.
There is no Sin. "Sin" is a fairy-tale concocted by George W. Bush homosexual Texas hat-wearing closet faggots.

See, why don't bible-thumpers "humiliate" themselves now in these modern days?
My guess?
Toilet paper.
The modern day bible-thumper, all hypocrites, feel less guilty about their natural body functions because of - again - modern science.
Because of improvements in the quality of life, those bible-thumpers, with their cowardly terrified fear of mortality, have less to compulsively obsess about.
Now they only have to worry about Jesus as he secretly listens to them tinkling every day.

Kerry Burgess, July 27, 2018 2:54 pm
Reading back over this again instead of posting it first and then reading it I think again to myself: why am I even doing this?
I have tried engaging in conversation with regular people in the world. I have expressed a profound sense of activity in my mind and I thought to myself, surely the regular people of the world would have something to say that is non-obvious and that I hadn't thought of before.
But no. There's no intelligent life out there in the world.
There are only dim-witted parrots.
Dim-witted parrots with over-inflated sense of self-importance who are incapable of independent thought.
They were brainwashed by idiots - cowards such as themselves - in Sunday School and now they think they know everything about the nature of the Universe.
And they get defensive and paranoid when somebody (that's me) offers a rational, well-thought explanation for why they are delusional about their Imaginary Friend With The Beard Who Lives In The Clouds And Is Their Free Pass For Their Cowardly Terror Of Mortality.
So I don't know who I'm trying to talk to.
I'm trying to talk to at least one specific person. I know that much. Someone I don't know. But someone that needs to know something. Something. That person needs to know something and I am somehow going to have that information, whatever it is.
So for now, I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know when. I don't know where. I don't know how. I don't know who. I don't know

Book 1, Chapter 14
"You probably don't remember your dreams," Melora said, the professor's tone starting to piss off Brent. "In fact, most people only remember a small percentage of their actual dreams. Isn't it possible you had the dreams and don't remember?"
"Nah," Luis said, "He'd have to remember at least *one* of them, right? Maybe there *are* others out there like he says. Makes sense."
Brent nodded as if endorsement built the road to reality.
"Even if there are others", Melora said, in her parochial voice, "it's safe to assume his family isn't among them, or else they would have been in his house this morning."
Brent stared at her. Her face was blank, clinically detached from her words. He was pretty good at guessing people's histories, what made them the way they were. Melora, however, was beyond him. He felt like punching some color into the pasty white of her face.

And then there was the time she broke into my apartment when I was sleeping. That was 91 I think, early on when we were dating. I was still living in Taylors, SC, nearby my job in Greenville. I remember I had been feeling very jumpy back then, I don't know why. I had a good job, I had a nice duplex apartment, it was a nice neighborhood. But I was worried about someone sneaking in while I was asleep. I had the doors rigged to make noise to wake me up. Apparantly she was able to pry the lock on the back door and I woke up with her standing next to me in my bed. The door trap had worked, but all it did was scare her, I didn't hear it

(conversation continues between Austin Millbarge and Captain Hefling)
By the way, good luck on the test tomorrow.
What test?
Foreign Service Board exams. Good luck.
Foreign Service Boards, tomorrow? I can't take that test tomorrow. I haven't studied. I'm not prepared.
You were bumped up on the list. You're scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm sure I told you.
This is dated two weeks ago. You planned this. You want me to fail that test so you can keep me... down here in the center of the earth doing your work for you.
Watch your mouth, mister. This department's laying off civilians left and right. Where you going?
Home. To study.
Ha. One night studying for a grade-19 FSB exam? Good luck.
Listen, captain. I'm going to pass that exam, and I'm going to get out of this hole... and do some really important work for national security.
Yeah, sure.

An Action-Packed Summer Read -- Tom Clancy's Latest Storms The Shores
By Melinda Bargreen
Seattle Times Staff Critic
Rumblings in the distance are growing louder, as a phalanx of trucks approaches local bookstores. There is a diesel storm rising.
Tom Clancy is back.
Yes, fans, the latest humongous Clancy doorstop of a book - at 752 pages, a veritable Cortez Kennedy among action-thrillers - officially hits stores tomorrow. From there, it will undoubtedly commence liftoff for The New York Times' best-seller list and eventually a theater near you.
"Rainbow Six," a new techno-thriller about an elite international antiterrorist squad, has all the usual Clancy paraphernalia: action galore, taut plotting, state-of-the art weapons and heroic guys about whose safety the reader need entertain no serious fears.
The main hero here is John Clark, the ex-Navy SEAL who went ballistic in an earlier Clancy novel, "Without Remorse," and whom Clancy has called "the dark side" of his primary hero, Jack Ryan. (Ryan, of course, first surfaced in "The Hunt for Red October" and has since escalated into the most heroic American president since Lincoln).
Clark is quite a fellow, too. He has more decorations than the White House Christmas tree: Navy Cross, Silver Star with a repeat cluster, Bronze Star with Combat-V and three repeats, three Purple Hearts, et al. He's the hero of many covert international missions in which the Free World's bacon was definitively saved.
He may be pushing 60, but Clark can still run with the big dogs, and he still gets that dangerous look on his face that makes smart people not want to mess with him.
There are many stupid people in the world, however, and Clancy has a field day with a bunch of environmental extremists who are the chief (though not only) villains of "Rainbow Six." These wackos have concocted a biological blowout more deadly than anything Saddam Hussein could ever contrive, an apocalypse that will heal Mother Nature and get the buffaloes roaming again on the prairie.
The extremists of "the Project" first manifest themselves in a puzzling series of terrorist strikes, which conveniently begin just as Clark's tautly trained Rainbow squadron is ready for action. But why, they wonder, are they being called upon to counter such incidents as a hostage scenario at a Swiss bank, a high-level kidnapping at a German Schloss and a raid on a Spanish amusement park in which innocent children - two of them in wheelchairs - are held at gunpoint?
Could these incidents be related? That's the question John Clark ponders, but all Clancy fans know the answer: You bet your nuke-launching sub they're related.

(from internet transcript)
CHAPTER 1
MEMO
For all of these reasons, the proposed special-operations team, composed of US., UK, and selected NATO personnel, with full support from national-intelligence services, coordinated at site…
And he'd sold it, Clark told himself with a wispy smile. It had helped that both Ed and Mary Pat Foley had backed him up in the Oval Office, along with General Mickey Moore and selected others. The new agency, Rainbow, was blacker than black, its American funding directed through the Department of the Interior by Capitol Hill, then through the Pentagon's Office of Special Projects, with no connection whatsoever to the intelligence community. Fewer than a hundred people in Washington knew that Rainbow existed. A far smaller number would have been better, but that was about the best that could be expected.

And then there was the time she broke into my apartment when I was sleeping. That was 91 I think, early on when we were dating. I was still living in Taylors, SC, nearby my job in Greenville. I remember I had been feeling very jumpy back then, I don't know why. I had a good job, I had a nice duplex apartment, it was a nice neighborhood. But I was worried about someone sneaking in while I was asleep. I had the doors rigged to make noise to wake me up. Apparantly she was able to pry the lock on the back door and I woke up with her standing next to me in my bed. The door trap had worked, but all it did was scare her, I didn't hear it

The American Presidency Project
JIMMY CARTER
39th President of the United States: 1977 - 1981
Spokane, Washington Remarks at Dedication Ceremonies for Riverfront Park.
May 05, 1978
Senator Magnuson, Governor Ray, Governor Evans of Idaho, who is with us today, my friend Congressman Tom Foley, Congressman Dicks, Mayor Bait, Secretary Andrus and Secretary Bergland, many friends from Spokane:
During the last few days, I've been pleased to leave the city of Washington, D.C., and to visit the western part of our great Nation. I've been enjoying the beauty of it. I've been discussing with our citizens of all kinds, questions of great importance to ourselves, our families, our communities, our Nation, indeed, the entire world. I've been talking about the desire for peace, based on a strong America and a strong national defense. I've been talking about the beauty of our country, clean air, clean water, clean and productive land. I've been talking about our Nation's forests, our Nation's water resources, our Nation's fields that produce the food and fiber for us and the rest of the world.
I've been listening to suggestions and criticisms and talking with those who are experts on these subjects and who have a genuine desire to resolve the longstanding problems and questions which we all face—the questions of energy that have too long been ignored.
We now see these problems reaching a stage where they must be resolved. There are no easy answers. There are no quick solutions, because we have a strong, dynamic, growing, aggressive, competitive nation.
As President, I realize that I don't know all the answers, that Washington is not the source of all solutions, that there must be a genuine partnership between me, the Governors, the mayors, county officials, the Congress, and private citizens of all kinds, to make common sacrifices, to make common commitments, to realize the potential beauty and the greatness of our Nation.
It's good for me to come back to Spokane today to this same site where I was thrilled in 1974, when one of the days was called Georgia Day and I and my wife and my daughter, Amy, could look at the beauty of this river, stand in awe at the waterfall, see what a city of not great population could do to inspire the world, at the self-sacrifice and accomplishment that was exhibited here in Expo '74.
I wondered then about the background of Spokane and the future of this lovely site, once the excitement of Expo '74 was past. I flew in on a plane traveling tourist class, which was my custom then because of necessity, and I saw the beauty of your land. And today when I came on Air Force One, I had the same opportunity.
My friend Tom Foley thinks the Inland Empire is an American version of the Garden of Eden. And as I looked over the rich agricultural land and the beautiful mountains and hills and streams as I flew in this morning, I can see what he means.
You're lucky to be represented in Congress by a man like Tom Foley. In the last year and a half, I've learned why he is one of the most respected men in the Nation's Capital. In many areas, but especially farm agricultural policy—on which he does not always agree with me, I have to admit—he stands for responsible solutions that protect the interests of farmers and of all America. He understands, from a practical perspective, the special problems of farmers in this area, and he always represents your viewpoints very well.
This park is an achievement that would make any city proud, but you should also be especially proud of your Senator, Warren Magnuson, for the essential role he played in bringing this park into being.
As all of you know, it was Senator Magnuson who explained to the Federal Government the importance of this facility to your beautiful city and who helped to obtain Federal grants to aid in its construction.
As chairman of the Appropriations Committee, and soon to be President pro tempore of the Senate, Maggie is in an excellent position to continue his fine work for Spokane and the rest of Washington State—indeed, the entire Nation. He's one of the greatest Senators that I have ever known, and I respect and love him very much, as do all of you.
He expressed a philosophy that has always been my own: that the best government is a government closest to the people, that people ought to control their government, not let government control them, and that public officials should never forget who put us in office, and that we don't know all the answers at the State capital or the National Capital. The answers must be derived, even to most complicated questions involving foreign policy and national defense, from people like you all over our great Nation.
Today, we come to think about a particular aspect of American life. Since the days when I was a State legislator and then a Governor in Georgia, I've understood the special need to promote environmental and historical perspective and preservation. This is a place of lasting value that is also an economic boom to your whole entire region and State. I'm glad that the Federal Government has been able to join—not in a leadership role, but a supporting role—State government, the city of Spokane, and business interests like your railroads and the Land Resources Corporation, in creating something that brings enjoyment and prosperity to so many people.
Riverfront Park also shows very clearly what can be accomplished in urban redevelopment. You've transformed an area that was declining, that was far short of its great potential, into one of the Nation's most innovative and refreshing urban settings. I have proposed, as part of my own administration's new urban policy, a $150 million urban park and recreation program which can make possible, under Cecil Andrus' leadership, other parks like your own beautiful one here. And it also shows in a symbolic way the continuing relationship between energy and the environment.
Most of the Federal share that helped build this park came from our lease revenues from oil and gas production on the Outer Continental Shelf. My administration is committed to the belief that we can meet our Nation's energy needs and continue to protect and to enhance our irreplaceable natural environment. As those of you who have come from Coeur d'Alene know firsthand, we have in Cecil Andrus a Secretary of Interior from Idaho who's deeply and personally committed to that goal.
In the 15 months since I became President, my administration and the Congress have begun to tackle the most difficult problems facing our country. I've come here to listen to the people of this region and to ask your help for the programs and policies we need.
Later on today, I'll be facing for an extended period of time many of you and your fellow citizens in a direct interchange of questions and ideas, where there is no constraint on what you want to ask me or to suggest to me in how I can be a better President.
To solve the problems of our decade, we must recapture what is best in our national spirit. We must be willing to put aside regional differences. We must be willing to put aside, also, our special interests, our selfish grasping for advantage, and contribute to the general good. We must be willing to make sacrifices so that others will follow our lead. Because I am confident that our Nation is ready for that kind of challenge, and because we have no alternative except to face difficult problems, I've asked the Congress and the people to work with me in areas of greatest challenge.
On energy, we must act to conserve and to produce more, to import less, and develop alternative sources. On inflation, we must work together in a spirit of cooperation and restraint to slow the rising costs that threaten the economic security and the well-being of every American family. It's here that our greatest challenge may come. We cannot control inflation without common sacrifice and common commitment by us all.
On civil service, I need your support to help pass my reforms and to bring more efficiency and more incentive into the bloated Federal bureaucracy, which must be improved.
Here in the West, as well as elsewhere, we must improve our ability to protect the national environment while maintaining economic growth and development. This is a great challenge, but I have every confidence that we can meet it and succeed. We will never see the quality of life, the beauty of our environment deteriorate as long as I'm serving you as President in the White House.
None of this is going to be easy, and I don't pretend that any of us has all the answers. Many people say that as President of the United States, I have the most difficult job in all the world. But I have confidence that the people understand that there are no easy answers. I believe that people understand that difficult questions, too long ignored, must now be addressed.
I think people understand that there are conflicts of interest, even among the most well-meaning and dedicated and patriotic American citizens. This is part of our democratic society. But I feel an assurance, as President, that I can do a good job, to the extent that I maintain my close relationship with you and enhance the partnership that must exist in our great Nation.
I know that our reaction to these challenges will be the measure by which we will be judged by future generations.
The Congress and my administration can only do so much. We can never succeed without broad public support. We need the confidence and the understanding and the commitment of the American people. We need it in Washington, D.C., and we need it in Washington State, and I know that we can find it.
This partnership between you and me will help to realize the true greatness of our Nation.
Thank you very much.
Note: The President spoke at 12:16 p.m.

This first inventory of natural resources prepared by the National Conservation Commission is undoubtedly but the beginning of a series which will be indispensable for dealing intelligently with what we have.

War of the Worlds the True Story
A few days ago I was hoping to capture some images of the Delta Aquariids at its peak and post the images here but I never saw anything, feeling exhausted working on a complicated post for my blog as I also tried to understand the finer points of digital photography using the so-called Bulb setting. This video I'm watching just now today for the first time ever reminds me of the post I was planning to make along with the images I hoped to capture of the meteors.
I always remember the turmoil in my 14-year-old mind when Thedia uprooted us from DeQueen to move to Ashdown to live with her newest in a long string of new husbands signaling the certain turmoil of the pending and guaranteed future break-up.
The night they got married, referenced in previous posts by me, my new step-siblings and I decorated her new husband's car with shoe polish and other stuff.
I wrote in shoe polish on rooftop of his side of the car "Good Luck #7". He wasn't her seventh husband when I was 14 years old and I remembered them all, but I had lost count.
Later I would wonder: He didn't know about the others. I felt a great certainty that he didn't know about it until I told his kids that Thedia had been already married before many times before that night.
Must have been a real surprise. I know that as an adult I would have been very annoyed and angry to find out that detail.

"Time"
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
