I’m not, and I’ve had it for about 4 years or so.

The pagers appeared to receive a coded error message sent to all the devices that caused them to vibrate and beep for some 10 seconds. When the user pressed the pager’s button to cancel the alert, the explosives were detonated – a design that would ensure the pager was being held by the user at the time of the blast to inflict maximum damage.

“Some of you will continue in your education. Some of you will continue with your interest in art. Some of you will have interests other than that. If we’ve learned nothing else this year, I hope you’ve learned the stupidity of the statement that art belongs to the world. ‘Cause art belongs to the cultivated who can appreciate it. The majority of the great unwashed does not fit into this category… and neither, I’m sorry to say, do most of you.”

A friend of mine, whose art sits in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC), uses the phrase “visual intelligence”. As artist’s at the leading edge of creating newshit do create stuff never seen before, it is evident that only the few advanced artists or viewers right under them see what they did. It’s change. You could say the same thing for math, I suppose.
Cultivated is a loaded word, but I guess the prof. was trying to cut into the foggy minds of his young students. The greatest innovator among the Impressionists was Paul Cezanne, and most people cannot even see what he did. That is unavailable to them, although all in plain sight. As a result, M. Cezanne had an acerbic wit and he said stuff to piss people off. When I taught, I found out that I couldn’t use Cezanne’s quotes without making my students uncomfortable. He was, mildly put, an asshole.

Mmyeah, that is a big problem and I’m not sure what we/they are going to do about it.
Just spit-ballin’, but maybe there’s the case that there no land-based cell-towers which can access devices at altitude, and therefore with appropriate filters, maybe the airline-provided wifi could be considered safe.
The stone-age solution will be to prohibit electronic devices. That ain’t gonna work, obviously. No one will relinquish their devices. Moreover, the crews work from devices. There was once a day when a pilot carried a big black (usually) bag filled with publications and maps that he used to get from Point A to Point B. [Digression: At my former employer, I was once in a category where that big black bag wasn’t big enough for all the publications we needed to carry. The solution became that the Captain carried publications for airports in the first of the alphabet and the First Officer carried those for the last half.] But those days are long gone. Nothing is flown using paper maps and approach plates anymore. Everything done on an iPad, and those iPads (while on the ground) are wirelessly connected to the internet. The same is true for the flight attendants.

In the Kansas City Airport there is (or used to be) a small self serve booth where you could mail your pocket knife to yourself. Perfect little heavy duty envelope for you to drop your knife into and send home, instead of losing at security. I’ve lost one knife to airport security. I so commonly carry one, I stupidly forget. Even at Arrowhead once I got near the entrance and realized I had a pocket knife. I found a memorable spot and buried it in the snow, then retrieved it after the game. Heheh.

He didn’t pull a trigger.

48 hours in the pokie for loitering and 10 years in federal prison for a felon in possession of a firearm. That half-wit won’t see daylight for some time. That wimp will be someone’s DNA receptacle.

“Ryan Routh was loitering.

Yeah, that’ll be the 2 sentence version that his attorney will try to get the jury to believe. But any juror with half a brain will reject this as nonsense. “Not pulling a trigger” has no bearing on whether someone has committed a crime with a gun.
From my chair, the 2 current charges….Felon in possession of a gun (which they’ll establish with DNA and/or fingerprints), and possession of a gun with obliterated serial number….are simply the charges necessary to hold him in place. They–the Feds, and if not them, the State of Florida–will throw the book at him.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
