“
You can’t really think hard about what you’re doing and listen to the radio at the same time. Maybe they didn’t see their job as having anything to do with hard thought, just wrench twiddling.

“
Don't be ashamed to be high maintenance when it comes to your development.

Sometime look at a novice workman or a bad workman and compare his expression with that of a craftsman whose work you know is excellent and you’ll see the difference. The craftsman isn’t ever following a single line of instruction. He’s making decisions as he goes along. For that reason he’ll be absorbed and attentive to what he’s doing even though he doesn’t deliberately contrive this. His motions and the machine are in a kind of harmony. He isn’t following any set of written instructions because the nature of the material at hand determines his thoughts and motions, which simultaneously change the nature of the material at hand. The material and his thoughts are changing together in a progression of changes until his mind’s at rest at the same time the material’s right.

I. IDEAS A. The Death Instinct and the Life Instinct: The Death Instinct: separation, individuality, Avant-Garde par excellence; to follow one’s own path—do your own thing; dynamic change. The Life Instinct: unification; the eternal return; the perpetuation and MAINTENANCE of the species; survival systems and operations, equilibrium.26 The life force is concerned with cyclicality, care, and regeneration; the death force sounds to me a lot like “disrupt.” Obviously, some amount of both is necessary, but one is routinely valorized, not to mention masculinized, while the other goes unrecognized because it has no part in “progress.

Society would have much to gain from decriminalization. On the immediate practical level, we would feel safer in our homes and on our streets and much less concerned about the danger of our cars being burgled. In cities like Vancouver such crimes are often committed for the sake of obtaining drug money. More significantly perhaps, by exorcising this menacing devil of our own creation, we would automatically give up a lot of unnecessary fear. We could all breathe more freely. Many addicts could work at productive jobs if the imperative of seeking illegal drugs did not keep them constantly on the street. It’s interesting to learn that before the War on Drugs mentality took hold in the early twentieth century, a prominent individual such as Dr. William Stewart Halsted, a pioneer of modern surgical practice, was an opiate addict for over forty years. During those decades he did stellar and innovative work at Johns Hopkins University, where he was one of the four founding physicians. He was the first, for example, to insist that members of his surgical team wear rubber gloves — a major advance in eradicating post-operative infections. Throughout his career, however, he never got by with less than 180 milligrams of morphine a day. “On this,” said his colleague, the world-renowned Canadian physician Sir William Osler, “he could do his work comfortably and maintain his excellent vigor.” As noted at the Common Sense for Drug Policy website: Halsted’s story is revealing not only because it shows that with a morphine addiction the proper maintenance dose can be productive. It also illustrates the incredible power of the drug in question. Here was a man with almost unlimited resources — moral, physical, financial, medical — who tried everything he could think of and he was hooked until the day he died. Today we would send a man like that to prison. Instead he became the father of modern surgery.

Maintenant l’empire a Ă©tĂ© pacifiĂ© ; les lois et les ordonnances Ă©manent d’un seul ; le peuple et les chefs de famille s’appliquent aux travaux de l’agriculture et de l’industrie ; les classes supĂ©rieures s’instruisent des lois et des ordonnances, des interdictions et des dĂ©fenses. Cependant les maĂźtres-lettrĂ©s ne prennent pas modĂšle sur le prĂ©sent, mais Ă©tudient l’antiquitĂ© afin de dĂ©nigrer l’époque actuelle ; ils jettent le doute et le trouble parmi les tĂštes noires. Le conseiller, votre sujet (Li) Se, se dissimulant qu’il s’expose Ă  la mort, dĂźt : Dans l’antiquitĂ©, l’empire Ă©tait morcelĂ© et troublĂ© ; il ne se trouvait personne qui pĂ»t l’unifier ; c’est pourquoi les seigneurs rĂ©gnaient’ simultanĂ©ment. Dans leurs propos, (les lettrĂ©s) parlent’ tous de l'antiquitĂ© afin de dĂ©nigrer le temps prĂ©sent ; ils colorent des faussetĂ©s afin de mettre la confusion dans ce qui est rĂ©el : ces hommes font valoir l’excellence de ce qu’ils ont appris dans leur Ă©tude privĂ©e afin de dĂ©nigrer ce qu’a instituĂ© Votre MajestĂ©. Maintenant que le souverain empereur possĂšde l’empire dans son ensemble, qu’il a distinguĂ© le noir du blanc et qu’il a imposĂ© l’unitĂ©, ils mettent en honneur leurs Ă©tudes privĂ©es et tiennent des conciliabules. Ces hommes qui condamnent les lois et les instructions, dĂšs qu'ils apprennent qu'un Ă©dit a Ă©tĂ© rendu, s'empressent de le discuter chacun d'aprĂšs ses propres principes; lorsqu'ils sont Ă  la cour, ils dessape prouvent dans leur for intĂ©rieur ; lorsqu'ils en sont sortis, ils dĂ©libĂšrent dans les rues; louer le souverain, ils estiment que c'est (chercher) la rĂ©putation; s'attacher Ă  des principes extraordinaires, ils pensent que c'est le plus haut mĂ©rite ; ils entraĂźnent le bas peuple Ă  forger des calomnies. Les choses Ă©tant ainsi, si on ne s’y oppose pas, alors en haut la situation du souverain s’abaissera, tandis qu’en bas les associations se fortifieront. Il est utile de porter une dĂ©fense. Votre sujet propose que les histoires officielles, Ă  l’exception des MĂ©moires de Tshin, soient toutes brĂ»lĂ©es : sauf les personnes qui ont la charge de lettrĂ©s au vaste savoir, ceux qui dans l’empire se permettent de cacher le Che (King), le Chou (King) ou les discours des Cent Ă©coles, devront tous aller auprĂšs des autoritĂ©s locales civiles et militaires pour qu’elles les brĂ»lent. Ceux qui oseront discuter entre eux sur le Che (King) et le Chou (King) seront (mis Ă  mort et leurs cadavres) exposĂ©s sur la place publique ; ceux qui se serviront de l’antiquitĂ© pour dĂ©nigrer les temps modernes seront mis Ă  mort avec leur parentĂ©. Les fonctionnaires qui verront ou apprendront (que des personnes contreviennent Ă  cet ordre), et qui ne les dĂ©nonceront pas, seront impliquĂ©s dans leur crime. Trente jours aprĂšs que l’édit aura Ă©tĂ© rendu, ceux qui n’auront pas bruie (leurs livres) seront marquĂ©s et envoyĂ©s aux travaux forcĂ©s. Les livres qui ne seront pas proscrits seront ceux de mĂ©decine et de pharmacie, de divination par la tortue et achillĂ©e, d’agriculture et d’arboriculture ordonnances, qu’ils prennent pour maĂźtres les fonctionnaires. » Le dĂ©cret fat : « ApprouvĂ©. »

Nous parcourons maintenant la province de Shizuoka oĂč se cultive le thĂ©, boisson nationale par excellence. Les arbrisseaux, dont la feuille cirĂ©e rappelle le buis, couvrent chaque pente disponible, tapissent vallons et collines de leurs grosses boules vertes soigneusement alignĂ©es. Mille haies trapues, moutonnĂ©es, luisantes Ă©pousent ainsi Ă  perte de vue les courbes du relief et disparaissent sur l'autre versant. J'ignorais que le thĂ© Ă  la menthe servi dans les cafĂ©s maures de Casablanca, d'Alger ou de Tunis pĂ»t venir de si loin : les pays nord-africains sont parmi les plus gros clients des planteurs nippons. Originaire de Chine mĂ©ridionale, le thĂ©ier fut introduit au Japon en 1191 par un bonze nommĂ© EisaĂŻ, mais ne prit son essor dĂ©finitif qu'au treiziĂšme siĂšcle lorsqu'un autre moine crĂ©a les plantations d'Uji, prĂšs de Kyoto. D'abord considĂ©rĂ© comme infusion mĂ©dicinale, longtemps rĂ©servĂ©e aux prĂȘtres et Ă  l'Ă©lite, le thĂ© participa Ă  la vie quotidienne, passant tour Ă  tour du profane au sacrĂ©. On sĂšche les feuilles tout de suite aprĂšs la cueillette, sans fermentation prĂ©alable, ce qui donne un breuvage transparent, d'un jaune verdĂątre, si dĂ©licatement parfumĂ©e que bien des Occidentaux le trouvent insipide. Les Japonais en consomment des dizaines de tasses par jour, ne le sucre jamais et l'absorbent si brĂ»lant qu'ils font souvent peler leurs muqueuses. (p. 231)

were ostentatious about it, they were hated even more. It may have been stupid of them, and of course the wiser Jews, especially the older ones, were greatly upset, and remonstrated with the younger, because they foresaw the antagonism their behaviour would create. The Jews probably paid fair prices for what they bought - but that wasn’t the point. Except for my father and many of his generation, people hated the Jews. My father realised that the fault did not lie with the Jews but somehow much higher up. Of course, it would be wrong to give the impression that there were not many impoverished Jews in Budapest and other places who had got things just as wrong as everybody else. Compared with elsewhere, the elite branches of the Hungarian civil service - the Army, the diplomatic corps, and the financial administration - usually maintained the old traditions of integrity; and they suffered for that. The families of senior civil servants who tried to stick to the ethics of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy often met disaster - unless they had land with which to support their convictions - and the attitudes of such parents were often resented by the young who found the maintenance of uncomfortable principles objectionable while their friends’ families were obviously making compromises. Real corruption was found less in the central government than at county level. This was something entirely new. When my father protested about the irregularities that were permitted - the keeping of two sets of books, the acceptance of bribes, the payments in cash, the extra jobs taken on which left less time for official work to be done - the reply was: ‘Your Excellency, will you feed my children?’ There was communal hatred, which was new. There was social resentment, which was new. There was bribery and corruption: that was new. It was the same in Austria and Poland. If you get the same fever, you get the same symptoms.

Le Chant du Cygne et du Corbeau Ils se disaient poĂštes, Ils Ă©taient d'excellents grammairiens, Ils parlaient trĂšs bien avec la bouche, Mais, Ils ne parlaient pas avec le cƓur, Et la princesse Cherchait l'Étoile Alpine, Par le Nord, par le Sud, Par l'Est et par l'Ouest, Mais ils ne l'ont pas trouvĂ©e, Des terres oĂč les hommes, Ont oubliĂ© leur Amour pour la Guerre, Et ont appris Ă  aimer l'or davantage, Plus que l'Amour lui-mĂȘme, Maintenant, ils perdent des guerres et gagnent des AumĂŽnes, Et vendent leur beautĂ© nordique et mĂ©diterranĂ©enne, Pour ĂȘtre aimĂ©s Ă  l'Autel d'Aphrodite, Mais, Aphrodite, Aimait la Guerre et a Ă©pousĂ© le Forgeron boiteux, Qui lui donnait des aumĂŽnes (d'affection) Et de la Rose volĂ©e, De la Fille du Roi de PhĂ©nicie, EmmenĂ©e aux Tropiques, Des Fils de CĂ©sar, Vers les Terres Tropicales, Naquit une ProgĂ©niture d'HadĂšs, Qui abritait l'obscuritĂ© en lui, Mais gardait aussi un amour infini, Et il Regardait tout cela, Et contemplait tant de fois, Le Visage de MĂ©duse, Que son regard transformait en Pierre, Tout ce qu'il ne pouvait pas voir, Et ce qui est restĂ© immobile, A tout dĂ©mĂ©nagĂ©, A dĂ©placĂ© Georgios, Qui Ă©coutait la douce musique, Des Satyres en Carnaval, Et blasphĂ©mait, Se moquait et lançait des pierres sur ceux, Les Bacchantes, Car le vin n'enivrait plus, Il est devenu jus, La musique, comme l'Eau, Doit couler, Car Bacchus de cette terre, En a fait sa Demeure, Et a banni les autres Dieux, Et a dit que dans l'Éden terrestre, Il n'y aurait que l'ivresse et l'indolence, Et tout le monde Ă©tait heureux, Mais, ils ont dĂ©couvert que, MĂȘme dans les Terres Bacchiques, On entend le Triste souffrir, Car dans les FĂȘtes, Il n'y avait pas de joie, C'Ă©taient des bals masquĂ©s, OĂč tout le monde pleurait, Mais les masques montraient de la joie, Et des Miroirs Ă©taient placĂ©s sur les murs, Narcisse, cependant, Refusait de voir son image, Il savait que se noyer de nouveau, Dans sa propre vanitĂ©, RamĂšnerait la Pomme, La pomme d'or, Et les DĂ©esses, Guerroieraient, Et il n'y aurait plus de paix, Dans cette Guerre Constante, Et nous avons Ă©tĂ© faits captifs, De l'ivresse, SurveillĂ©s et pourchassĂ©s, Car, Le Visage du Roi a Ă©tĂ© GardĂ©, GuĂ©ri de la LĂšpre, Mais, Sa maladie Ă©tait l'Amour, L'amour pour ces chrĂ©tiens, Qui ne croyaient plus en Dieu, Des prĂȘtres qui ont perdu la Foi, Des Filles d'Ève qui se sont Ă©touffĂ©es, Avec la pomme, Et des fils d'Adam, Qui dans la caverne la plus profonde d'ÉrĂšbe, Furent liĂ©s, Et voyant l'ombre des lumiĂšres lointaines, Furent aveuglĂ©s, Et mĂȘme si, Comme Argos, Ils avaient cent yeux, Ils n'auraient rien vu, Au-delĂ  de ce que leurs maigres esprits, Et leurs maigres cƓurs, Étaient incapables de ConnaĂźtre.

Consider growing an eco-friendly lawn, instead of the conventional, perfect lawn, to keep your hens and soil their healthiest. Ecological seed mixes, which you can get at your local retail nursery or feed store, contain a variety of plant types, many of which might be considered weeds to a gardener who prefers a perfect monocrop of grass blades, but are an excellent, diverse source of greens for chickens to forage. An eco-lawn requires less maintenance such as mowing, and requires fewer resources like water and fertilizers. Clover, one of the most important plants found in eco-seed mixes, fixes nitrogen naturally in the soil and eliminates the need for fertilizers.

Luke nodded. He'd refused to let them wipe the X-wing's computer every few months, as per standard procedure. The inevitable result was that the computer had effectively molded itself around Artoo's unique personality, so much so that the relationship was almost up to true droid counterpart level. It made for excellent operational speed and efficiency; unfortunately, it also meant that none of the maintenance computers could talk to the X-wing anymore.

Hardie Boys- Exterior Millwork That Provides Value Over Time The outdoor areas on your property and the features on it, become the perfect backdrop for your home’s structure. They are also one of the first things that visitors to your property notice. The manner in which these features are designed and the finishing that’s used in them, go a long way in enhancing the overall appeal and value of your property. And so it follows that you ensure resilient materials are used in the work and hire expert technicians for the installation. When you start researching products and materials for outdoor installations, you will find that wood; iron, aluminum, plaster, brick and foam are commonly used in exterior construction. And this may lead you to believe that they are the best option for these applications. It’s also natural for you to be unsure about using new materials such as the specialized cellular PVC materials we use in our millwork. Some comparisons But the fact is that there has been a significant advancement in the manufacture of exterior-grade, manmade materials and cellular PVC is one of them. However, the higher upfront cost can sometimes become the other deterrent for property owners, to opt for this innovative material. Take a look at how the cellular PVC material that we at Hardie Boys, Inc. use stands up against other traditionally-used materials: 1. Weather impact Materials such as hardwood and metal are strong and durable, but need a significant amount of treatments before they can be used in exterior applications. For instance, untreated and unfinished wood features get affected by moisture and the sun’s rays and eventually crack and crumble. They can also develop rot or moss; and if these conditions are very severe, extensive repairs or complete replacement of the feature is the only option you are left with. Metal too gets affected by moisture and exposure to rain and frost; and rusts and corrodes over time. In comparison the unique PVC cellular material that we use in our millwork is moisture and heat-resistant and doesn’t corrode over time. 2. Termite damage Termites are extremely destructive creatures and they can bore through wooden features and cause extensive damage to them. In most cases, replacement is the only option you are left with, which represents a significant expense. Concrete surfaces get affected by the freeze and thaw cycles and crack over a period of time, and you end up spending considerable amounts on repair and replacements. On the other hand, cellular PVC doesn’t get impacted by termites or weather fluctuations at all. 3. Maintenance While choosing materials for exterior applications, most property owners fail to factor the maintenance costs into the overall cost of the installation. For instance, wood, plaster, foam, brick and concrete require annual mold prevention maintenance as well as sanding and polishing or painting. Metal surfaces have to be sanded, and painted regularly too. In comparison, our cellular PVC material features require only basic cleaning and they won’t warp, crack, fade, corrode, develop rot or mold. In short, this is an extremely low-maintenance option that is worth every penny you spend on initial costs. We at Hardie Boys, Inc. are the leaders in this space and provide excellent, customized, cellular PVC millwork solutions for residential and commercial settings.
