July 28, 2014
DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) _ More than 100,000 fish are dead following
a spectacular jellyfish attack at a Northern Ireland salmon farm.
The farm's owners say billions of jellyfish were in a dense pack
that spanned 10 square miles when they overwhelmed the fish last
The attack took place while the salmon were in a pair of net
pens a mile off the coast north of Belfast.
Workers tried to save the fish, but the salmon were all dead or
dying by the time their boats made it through the jellyfish and
reached the pens.
The attack will cost the salmon company more than 2 million
dollars. The company says it will likely have to shut down unless
it receives emergency aid from the British government.

The Cincinnati Bengals lost CB Jonathan Joseph to the Houston Texans in free agency but they weren't going to let that happen with their other cornerback, Leon Hall.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Hall signed a four-year, $39 million extension with the Bengals that will keep him in Cincy through the 2015 season. $14 million of that is guaranteed, according to the report.
The Bengals signed CB Nate Clements after Joseph left in free agency so he'll team with Hall as the Bengals starting cornerbacks in 2011. Joseph is better than Clements, in my opinion, but this still isn't a bad group to enter the season with.
SB Nation's Cincy Jungle calls this "good news" for Bengals fans.
After losing Johnathan Joseph to the Texans in free agency, many were worried that Leon Hall, whose contract was set to end at the end of the 2011 season, would move on to greener pastures as well. Keeping Hall locked up as a member of the Bengals secondary was a wise move and was considered to be just as important as extending Whitworth's contract.
Hop on over to Cincy Jungle where Bengals fans are talking about what this means moving forward.

Denver Designer Geoff Allen Returns from London with Some Very Nice Work
Fresh off a year in the UK, Geoff Allen — one of our recommended freelance art director/designers — is back and settled in Denver again. Score one for America. He's put a sheen of gloss on his book, recently updating with new projects from Nike and Four Seasons to indie bands and non-profits. Give it a look and welcome him back.
Great work. Nice guy. Fun Instagram Feed. Supporter of the arts... Welcome back to Denver Geoff!
Such a talented and prolific dude. Definitely a great asset to have back in Denver.
I can definitely say that Denver design has missed him in his absence. Great work, killer personality and an A+ beard.
Geoff has a knack for making everything look amazing. Including those ridiculous earrings he wears.
Nice work Geoff, even including some inspiration from the London architecture. Consistently solid aesthetics and a great sense of typography.
First off, huge thanks to The Egotist for the post! I really appreciate you always supporting and promoting FUN is OK. You guys continually prove to be an excellent asset of inspiration and information for all of us.
And a big thanks to the Denver design community for the kind words... even you, Mr. Sher. You guys are awesome!

i wish more people said that being single is normal
and you're not going to meet and marry someone
and that's fine
and if marriage happens, it happens. and it's not the next big ticket to check off in life's checklist
because not everyone meets someone they want to marry. and that's normal
you're not broken or unfulfilled if you are single
I'm reblogging this again because I love the message behind it and I think it needs to be passed on.

By Tim Lima
Sports Reporter
---- — NEWBURYPORT — After traveling the world and learning all there is to know about the sport he loves, Guy Chase has decided to bring a martial arts academy to his hometown.
It's easy to see that Chase is passionate about the sport he loves. Not only has he dedicated his life to learning, training and teaching several different styles of martial arts, but he has traveled the globe to do so. In his travels, he has earned diplomas from the Federation of France to the Consulate of Thailand to the Education Board of the Philippines to Japan to China. Despite filling three passports over his life, Chase hopes to continue his path of world travel to the country of Burma.
What drives someone to love a sport enough to follow it around the world?
"For me, I wasn't very good in baseball or football," Chase said. "I had to try a different activity. One of the things I like about martial arts is that it's an individual type of accomplishment. What you put into it yourself is what you get out of it. I could really find my type of individualism in this type of atmosphere."
The dedication toward improving his skill and becoming one of the best martial artists in the world earned him a spot alongside just two others in the Black Belt Hall of Fame. For Chase, the invitation came as a result of his diligence and desire to know and become an expert at all that martial arts has to offer. In his career, he has learned, been certified in and teaches 13 different styles of martial arts.
For Chase, the path toward becoming one of his sport's greats began at just age 8 years old. He learned under the advisement of Sensi Herby Crooks in Newburyport and was elevated to black belt status in Kodokan Judo, Kenpo Karate and Kung Fu by the age of 15.
His education really took flight when he was a teenager, though. Legendary martial art instructor Guro Dan Insonato invited him to become a full-time, live-in member of his Academy: The Insonato Academy. There, Chase learned from and alongside some of the world's most influential martial artists. One of his peers was the son of founding father of martial art's Bruce Lee.
"Bruce Lee was composing different styles and many different philosophies together to make things work," Chase said. "It was the evolution of martial arts that he was composing. For me, to be near his son Brandon was great."
The opportunity to learn from some of the bests martial arts had to offer has set Chase apart from the rest.
"What makes me unique is that I had the opportunity to learn under some grand masters of martial arts who have since passed away," he said. "Because of this, it is virtually impossible to get some of those systems and that training anymore."
Because of major mixed martial arts organizations such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and the television show "The Ultimate Fighter" from both FX and Fox Sports Network, MMA has rapidly become one of the fastest growing sports in the world. For Chase, the rapid growth of MMA is good for the attention it brings to the sport, but bad because of the lack of knowledge that comes with it.
"It's a two-edged sword," he said. "When they first started to televise these fights, the announcers didn't know what to say as far as the style. Some styles they didn't even know how to pronounce. What they did was take these fighters with different styles and just say, 'He's a mixed martial artist,' which is how the phrase came to be. One of my former students, Mark Dellagrotte, is actually behind the cameras now telling these announcers like Joe Rogan and (Mike) Goldberg what to say. He's actually behind the cameras telling them, 'OK, this is a round kick,' and stuff like that."
Learning styles of martial arts and their maneuvers is just scratching the surface of what promises to be gained by attending the Guy Chase Academy of Martial Arts. Having already opened an academy in Portsmouth, N.H., Chase decided to open a location on Graf Road in his hometown of Newburyport to further teach his craft.
Today, hundreds of males and females ranging from ages 5 to 70 are learning under the tutelage of Chase.

His retirement meant that another foreign player is now allowed to play for Chiefs following his early retirement.
The news was confirmed during a press conference held by the Amakhosi.

Tory councillor may be barred over 'queen' remark
Post your comment

Reader comments
Is his team the "Dim Wits" or the "Tory Twits'?
Lets see the back of this idiot bigot. If one good thing comes out of this, it is that those elected to public office, (to server their electorate), are NOT there for some kind of personal comedy session. They are there to look after and serve their constituents.
If they think they are so big and clever to mock both gay people AND the victims of terrible domestic violence, then they are clearly not fit to hold such an office.
Now, he tries to weasel out of what he said! He obviously think everyone else who was present at the meeting is both DEAF as well as stupid.
Ban the man!
These bigotted people have no place in any part of power in a decent society in 2011.
Hi folks
If you think he is bad, check out Ms Widdicombes recent article
Quote from the article
"This is not political correctness gone mad it is madness itself. First if 25 per cent of paedophiles are homosexual then by definition 75 per cent are not so it is not as if Dr Raabe is blaming paedophilia on homosexuals."
"My quip was referring to the council's theme team (stream team) interviewing the queen team, the accent being on the officers' team, not any other party."
Jesus H Corbett.
What a crock of BS.
My 8 year old daughter could come up with a better excuse than that…
He looks like a pinhead
The "Queen Team", is mildly amusing, but referring to people handling violent domestic abuse as the 'Scream team', is crass and insensitive.
What a nasty piece of work , guessing brentwood is not minority friendly and not supportive of victims of crime.
When oh when are people who hold public office going to realise that they cannot use offensive language no matter what context they think they are using it in. Lets hope he's kissed his job goodbye

Implantable Lenses: Help for Severe Myopia
Implantable Lens Pros and Cons continued...
The Visian lens is foldable, so it can be inserted through a smaller incision that usually requires no sutures. But because it sits close to the natural lens of the eye, it can cause cataracts in a small percentage of people, says James J. Salz, MD, clinical professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Southern California. "And we don't know how many patients will get a cataract if they've had that lens in their eye for over 10 years." The Visian lens has been modified recently to decrease the risk of cataracts.
Also, as with any surgery, both implantable lenses pose a small risk of infection, which in rare cases could cause blindness.
In clinical trials, both brands corrected vision well. With the Visian lens, 95% of patients had 20/40 or better vision, the level needed to obtain a driver's license, and 59% had 20/20 or better after three years. With the Verisyse lens, 92% had 20/40 or better vision, and 44% had 20/20 or better after three years.
What's Involved in Phakic IOL Surgery
Phakic surgery is an elective procedure, so it's not covered by insurance. It costs $3,500 to $5,500 per eye. Surgeons operate on just one eye at a time, so you need to have it twice to correct vision in both eyes.
"The lens is expensive and the procedure is more involved and intensive than LASIK," says Hamilton.
The surgery itself takes about 10 to 15 minutes, he says. "We use topical numbing drops and IV sedation, and you can see out of the eye immediately. There's no need to patch the eye shut."
"The recovery time is essentially overnight," Hamilton tells WebMD. "The next day a patient's vision is excellent." In comparison, it can take up to six months for vision to stabilize after LASIK surgery.
Should You Have Implantable Lenses or LASIK?
"A big question is: who are the candidates for these lenses?" says Salz. "Because you're putting the lens inside the eye, it's a different set of risks than LASIK surgery, which is done on the cornea outside the eye."
Implantable lenses are a good choice for people who are extremely nearsighted, says Salz. "Patients who are above -10 diopters or -11 diopters often can't get enough correction with a LASIK procedure."
"These patients…have to wear contact lenses every waking hour because they can't see otherwise, or they have to wear super-thick glasses, which most people find unacceptable," Hamilton says. With implantable lenses, "you really change their lives."
For people who have nearsightedness of -8 diopters to -11 diopters, Salz says the choice isn't so clear. Some surgeons prefer to use phakic lenses, while others prefer LASIK, he says. If you fall into that group, it's important to ask your ophthalmologist to explain the benefits and risks of each surgery. You might also consider getting a second opinion.

Quenching a thirst also will help nourish the spirit when a coffeehouse opens in the Mohawk-area community.
The Mohawk Coffee House — or MoCo House — will be located in the former Bessemer Diner on East Poland Avenue in Bessemer.
With a cozy atmosphere featuring couches, tables, warm colors, a wide array of coffees, teas and specialty beverages, baked goods — and eventually live music — the coffeehouse is intended to be comfortable and inviting.
But it's also a community ministry that will serve up Christian hospitality and the welcome mat will be out for all ages.
Last fall, a joint effort between the Rev. Nathan Leslie of Bessemer Presbyterian Church; David Champ, youth pastor at Westfield Presbyterian Church; and Greg Aydt, youth pastor of Bethel Evangelical Presbyterian Church began to help provide a Christian understanding in the community.
"One of the common ways that Christians throughout the nation are creating such gathering spaces in their communities is through opening coffeehouses," Leslie said.
The three men also shared a concern about poverty rates, drug and alcohol problems, a lack of activities for teens and the need for a space where members of the community could gather for fellowship in the Mohawk community.
Christ the King Parish and First Covenant Church also are on board with the coffeehouse. Eight members with a representation from each church formed a board and in November, MoCo House was established as an independent, non-profit corporation.
The mission of the MoCo House is to create a positive environment and a place for fellowship and ministry, Leslie explained.
First, though, some work needs to be done.
This month, more than 20 volunteers began cleaning out the interior of the structure. Repairs also need to be done to the roof.
The group is in the process of raising the money required to remodel and purchase equipment to get started.
It's anticipated that about $50,000 will be needed, and so far, about $6,000 has been raised, Leslie said, adding the organization seeks the support of other individuals, business, churches and charitable groups. MoCo House is renting from its former owners.
In June, the ministry came under the umbrella of the Community Foundation of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.
The intention is not a business for the sake of making money, Leslie said. Rather, it's meant to be a charity and to use proceeds from sales and donations to maintain the space for people to gather.
Costs will be kept low, and there will be paid employees and volunteers, too, he continued.
"We will also be able to disperse money back into the Mohawk community to benefit its citizens."
The decision to locate in Bessemer came from the realization that the borough is near the school and has the largest population concentration in the district, Leslie pointed out.
"There were numerous vacant buildings in the community and bringing a new business to Bessemer will hopefully bring new life into the town," he said. "We will be visible in the community and our hope is to meet new people and build relationships."
A target date for opening has not yet been set.
"When God is ready, it will happen."

BARRE A Barre Town man has pleaded not guilty to having sex with a 15-year-old girl.
Christopher A. Osborne, 25, was arraigned Thursday on a charge of sexual assault of a victim under 16 years old, a felony, in Washington County criminal court in Barre. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
According to the police affidavit, police were notified that the girl was having sex with an adult by the name of Chris. Police say they met Osborne and he admitted having sex with the girl one time in March while his girlfriend was across the street. Osborne told police he felt connected to the girl and said he did not know it was illegal to have sex with a girl under 16, according to the affidavit.
Police say the state Department for Children and Families talked to the girl and that after she heard of Osbornes confession she said they did have sex.MORE IN This Just InA Granite City woman is facing several charges as police say she broke a child's leg after...

Epic battles await gamers in 'Dragon Age: Origins'
Nothing's draggin' here
"Dragon Age: Origins" is an epic, high-fantasy role-playing game and a return to form for developer BioWare, which has concentrated mostly on games with Eastern ("Jade Empire") and sci-fi ("Mass Effect") themes in the past few years.
The origins of the game's title concern the beginnings of the player's character, whether he or she be a human, dwarf or elf. Each character has one to three possible backgrounds, depending on the race and character class — warrior, mage or rogue — chosen.
For example, all mages start out in their order's tower, watched over by suspicious templars who stand ready to strike down any magic user who shows signs of possession. By contrast, city elves are a downtrodden underclass in the human city of Denerim, where a local lord's son crashes a wedding to stir up racial tension. The other origin stories have their own elements, some of which can change depending on the player's gender and other factors.
"Dragon Age: Origins" by Electronic Arts $59.99 for the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3; $49.99 for the PC.
♦♦♦1/2 out of ♦♦♦♦
On the Net: http://dragonage.bioware.com.
But in all origins there is one common factor: the Grey Warden, Duncan.
Duncan is recruiting for the Wardens, a legendary band of fighters who stopped an invasion of dark spawn hundreds of years ago. They can sense the creatures' presence, and Duncan knows a new horde, or Blight, gathering in the south is led by a powerful Archfiend.
The player makes the grade, of course, but it's not long before circumstances force this new hero to venture across the land in the hope of forming an army to face the growing threat of the Blight, gathering several interesting companions along the way.
Players can be as altruistic or as cruel as they please, which can have an effect on how some party members behave and respond.
Characters' abilities and skills can be customized as they level up according to the player's wishes. Each of the three classes has a set of unique powers, and characters can be further customized with specializations down the line — a mage can become a shape shifter, a warrior can be a berserker and a rogue can train as an assassin, among other possibilities.
Players can directly control one character at a time and issue orders to the others. Combat tactics govern the party's actions in a manner similar to "Final Fantasy XII's" Gambit system.
New copies of the game come with voucher codes for an additional character and quest pack, "The Stone Prisoner," and for a special set of armor that will also appear in the coming "Mass Effect 2."

"We used these cards as a birth announcement on the front as well as a thank you for baby gifts on the back. I was able to upload 5 pictures total and along with the color scheme, these were beautiful cards. Great quality and fast delivery from the company. This saved me a lot of time from handwriting thank you notes and allowed us to give a picture of our baby boy to friends and family. Overall we were very satisfied!!"
"We played around with the idea of the post card and thought it was perfect because our daughter was born outside the USA"
"I was very pleased with this card. I paid extra for the edges to be rounded and I am glad that I did. It gave the card a softer appearance. I used black and white photos and thought it was a great balance. Great purchase to announce the arrival of our sweet baby girl."
"The first time I ordered these, the writing in white font at 15 pt was too small to read well on the bottom, The excellent customer service and design specialists helped me slect the text in Navy, at 17 pts on the bottom and largest on the top and it came out great! I am very happy with them, and would suggest using a darker font."
"This card was just what I was looking for. What a cute way of announcing your little ones birth! The paper was thick and of great quality, and the card has room for 4 images, which was another plus."

Cooking with Chef Titti
For many years now, Chef Titti has empowered an ever expanding
join us on a magical journey into the culinary world of Chef Tiziana.
Each month we offer a fantastic new itinerary for globe trotting via our
series of intimate, instructional Thai
& Italian cooking classes. We'll unearth exotic flavors from various parts of the world and breakdown recipes into simple, easy to replicate menus. Our scheduled classes are typically offered on Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday evenings, as we also conduct a variety of private classes each month. All of our classes or dinner events are held in our recently built company HQ located in Boise's North End. Each class offers you the opportunity to prepare new recipes and learn a plethora of cooking techiques, as well as share a full 3-5 course meal with friends new & old. Both our Italian & Thai cooking classes cost $60.00 per person.
July 2014 Update:
Interest in our cooking classes remains at a red hot level and our client base is still growing by leaps & bounds. No sooner are new class schedules released, after the swarm of e-mails requesting reservations has been sorted out, we still find ourselves a tad short of being able to accommodate all of those looking to take a class. Especially in light of the ever increasing number of private classes booked each month.
So chances are by the time you come to the website to peruse the class schedules, there are no seats available for any of our cooking classes. As our client list has grown to about 2,000 people, it's essential to be on the mailing list, as these are the folks that get first crack at bookings for newly released classes. The release of both our June/July 2014 and August 2014 class schedules proved this to be true once again.
Whether the interest is to actually learn new dishes & techniques or just come to class to fill up on some of Tiziana's gastronomic wonders, our current client base has learned it takes a quick finger on the "send" button to actually land a seat. And blazing fast they were, as we're completely SOLD OUT with nary an open seat for June/July 2014. I'm only posting the classes for June & July, so those new to the website and not on our mailing list can see the types of menus offered in our classes. Just click the link to see the menus we are offering during the months of June & July 2014.
At the risk of sounding repetitive, yes, we are also completely SOLD OUT for the full roster of cooking classes offered in August 2014 as well. Here's a peek at what was offered for August 2014.
Take a look at the schedules for June/July & August and you'll get a good idea of the types of classes one can expect for September 2014. We'll be releasing the SEPTEMBER 2014 cooking class schedule on Tuesday July 29, 2014 at 7:00pm sharp. Stay tuned!
So remember, the best way to get a leg up on booking a class is to make sure you are on our mailing list. You'll receive a preview of the upcoming class schedule & thus the best opportunity (and in reality probably the only chance) for booking a seat before the classes are released to the general public. To be added to our Fuel for the Soul mailing list, simply drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Given how quickly the classes typically sell out, we keep a current list of class availability on our Facebook page (if any). It is updated as many times as required on a daily basis if need be. So if you want the most up-to-date count of seat availability for any given class in a particular month,especially in the few days right after the release of any month's schedule, visit our Facebook page for more info. And while you're there, take 2 extra seconds to LIKE our page & business. THANKS!

It's supposed to be around 7lbs, peaking around 10lbs, but this holds 10lbs and peaks 15lbs...it may be just the new turbo, it doesn't effect the drivability that I have seen.

The loose-knit hacking movement Anonymous claims to have stolen thousands of credit card numbers and other personal information belonging to clients of US-based security thinktank Stratfor. One hacker said the goal was to pilfer funds from individuals' accounts to give away as Christmas donations, and some victims confirmed unauthorized transactions linked to their credit cards.
Anonymous boasted of stealing Stratfor's confidential client list – which includes entities including Apple, the US air force and the Miami police department – and mining it for more than 4,000 credit card numbers, passwords and home addresses.
Stratfor – based in Austin, Texas – provides political, economic and military analysis to help clients reduce risk, according to a description on its YouTube page. It charges subscribers for its reports and analysis, delivered through the web, emails and videos. The company's main website was down on Sunday, with a banner saying the "site is currently undergoing maintenance".
Proprietary information about the companies and government agencies that subscribe to Stratfor's newsletters did not appear to be at any significant risk, however, with the main threat posed to individual employees who had subscribed.
"Not so private and secret anymore?" Anonymous taunted in a message on Twitter, promising that the attack on Stratfor was just the beginning of a Christmas-inspired assault on a long list of targets.
Anonymous said the client list it had already posted was a small slice of the 200 gigabytes worth of plunder it stole from Stratfor, and promised more leaks. It said it was able to get the credit card details in part because Stratfor didn't bother encrypting them – an easy-to-avoid blunder which, if true, would be a major embarrassment for any security-related company.
Fred Burton, Stratfor's vice president of intelligence, said the company had reported the intrusion to law enforcement and was working with them on the investigation.
Stratfor has protections in place meant to prevent such attacks, he said.
"But I think the hackers live in this kind of world where once they fixate on you or try to attack you it's extraordinarily difficult to defend against," Burton added.
Hours after publishing what it claimed was Stratfor's client list, Anonymous tweeted a link to encrypted files online with names, phone numbers, emails, addresses and credit card account details.
"Not as many as you expected? Worry not, fellow pirates and robin hoods. These are just the 'A's," read a message posted online that encouraged readers to download a file of the hacked information.
The attack is "just another in a massive string of breaches we've seen this year and in years past," said Josh Shaul, chief technology officer of Application Security, a New York-based provider of database security software.
Still, companies that shared secret information with Stratfor in order to obtain threat assessments might worry that the information is among the 200 gigabytes of data that Anonymous claims to have stolen, he said.
"If an attacker is walking away with that much email, there might be some very juicy bits of information that they have," Shaul said.
Lieutenant Colonel John Dorrian, public affairs officer for the US air force, said that "for obvious reasons" it doesn't discuss specific vulnerabilities, threats or responses to them.
"The air force will continue to monitor the situation and, as always, take appropriate action as necessary to protect networks and information," he said in an email.
A Miami police department spokesman said he could not confirm that the agency was a client of Stratfor, adding he had not received any information about a security breach involving the police department.
Anonymous also linked to images online that it suggested were receipts for charitable donations made by the group manipulating the credit card data it stole.
"Thank you! Defense Intelligence Agency," read the text above one image that appeared to show a transaction summary indicating that an agency employee's information was used to donate $250 to a non-profit organization.
One receipt – to the American Red Cross – had Allen Barr's name on it.
Barr, of Austin, Texas, recently retired from the Texas Department of Banking and said he discovered last Friday that a total of $700 had been spent from his account. Barr, who has spent more than a decade dealing with cybercrime at banks, said five transactions were made in total.
"It was all charities, the Red Cross, CARE, Save the Children. So when the credit card company called my wife she wasn't sure whether I was just donating," said Barr, who wasn't aware until a reporter with the AP called that his information had been compromised when Stratfor's computers were hacked.
"It made me feel terrible. It made my wife feel terrible. We had to close the account."
Wishing everyone a "Merry LulzXMas" – a nod to its spinoff hacking group Lulz Security – Anonymous also posted a link on Twitter to a site containing the email, phone number and credit card number of a US Homeland Security employee.
The employee, Cody Sultenfuss, said he had no warning before his details were posted.
"They took money I did not have," he told the Associated Press in a series of emails, which did not specify the amount taken. "I think 'Why me?' I am not rich."
But the breach doesn't necessarily pose a risk to owners of the credit cards. A card user who suspects fraudulent activity on his or her card can contact the credit card company to dispute the charge.
Stratfor said in an email to members that it had suspended its servers and email after learning that its website had been hacked.
"We have reason to believe that the names of our corporate subscribers have been posted on other web sites," said the email, signed by Stratfor Chief Executive George Friedman and passed on to AP by subscribers. "We are diligently investigating the extent to which subscriber information may have been obtained."
"Stratfor's relationship with its members and, in particular, the confidentiality of their subscriber information, are very important to Stratfor and me," Friedman wrote.
One member of the hacking group, who uses the handle AnonymousAbu on Twitter, claimed that more than 90,000 credit cards from law enforcement, the intelligence community and journalists – "corporate/exec accounts of people like Fox" News – had been hacked and used to "steal a million dollars" and make donations.
It was impossible to verify where credit card details were used. Fox News was not on the excerpted list of Stratfor members posted online, but other media organizations including MSNBC and Al-Jazeera English appeared in the file.
Anonymous warned it has "enough targets lined up to extend the fun fun fun of LulzXmas through the entire next week".

Will the War Profiteers be demanding the return of Tiny Tim's crutches?
No, they will just extort as much money as they can from Tiny Tim until he starves to death at which point he won't need crutches.
Send in the drones. Now remember, if any bystanders or Children are killed in a US Air strike on a neighborhood in Virginia, they are merely collateral damage and the US Government is "defending Americans rights and liberties" by killing members of anonymous.
The parents of the children killed in a drone strike would be blamed, and held responsible, should they happen to survive, and would no doubt be charged with murder for involving their children in activities that would put them in harm's way.
"harm's way"
So, you are saying that not only is it OK for the USG to murder people, but that when the USG murders people who happen to be nearby it is the victim's fault?
Irony - the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning:
Gaaah, that's what I get for reading and responding way too fast and, jumping to a conclusion in the process.
My sincere apologies to shadre.
Apology accepted, alternate_id. We all make that mistake on occasion - we're only human.
too funny
thank you for this incredibly valuable exchange! Occupy instances of way-too-fast mis-interlocution!
You beat me to it...lol
Thank you, locust, and others. I forget that not everyone "gets" irony.
If what Anonymous claims to be true in that Stratfor did not bother to encrypt credit card details of their customers (which is a basic requirement of any business large or small doing commerce on the web), then it speaks quite badly of the supposed 'security' think tank. Just as producing shoddy wares is the kiss of death for a luxury goods manufacturer, so is being lazy and cheap enough not to put in the relatively simple step of encryption software for processing card transactions for a firm that markets itself as a 'security think tank.' What the antics of Anonymous has pointed out time and again is that not only are the enemies of progressives fascists, but incompetent and greedy as well. This should disturb progressives to the bone, for there are plenty of examples of countries ruled by greedy and incompetent fascists -- it is called the Third World.
We are all the third world now...
Hear! Hear! Well typed! I boycott Sony.
"Stratfor didn't bother encrypting them – an easy-to-avoid blunder which, if true, would be a major embarrassment for any security-related company."
If this is true, given the ease by which info is encrypted, it is the epitome of corporate negligence and stupidity.
If this is not true, and the info was encrypted and successfully hacked, then present day encryption is worthless.
"The House Judiciary Committee held hearings on SOPA [Stop Online Piracy Act - designed to censor the internet] on November 16 and December 15, 2011. The Committee is scheduled to continue debate when Congress returns from its winter recess." - wikipedia
It is possible, though I think not probable, that there was no break-in, and that this story is an elaborate fiction, designed to enhance the chances that SOPA will be passed into law.
".....the info was encrypted and successfully hacked, then present day encryption is worthless."
Not necessarily so. There are many different levels of encryption strength. If you want strong encryption, then it will cost more money than weak encryption. Encryption strength fills a broad spectrum, from weak shareware programs downloaded from the internet for $10, to filling large departments of PhD mathematicians with multi-million-dollar supercomputers.
I suspect that Stratfor invested in the "$10" kind.
They got what they paid for. Anonymous fully understands the capitalist system.
"It is possible, though I think not probable, that there was no break-in, and that this story is an elaborate fiction, designed to enhance the chances that SOPA will be passed into law. "
Point to consider. But this is not really an act of "piracy". And SOPA is not going to do anything to stop groups like "Anonymous". The credit card numbers weren't copyrighted works and the donations made by Anonymous weren't counterfeit goods.
It seems like the Anonymous donations to charity is all small change given the "size" of the credit-card owners. One would think that Stratfor's peace-and-freedom-loving clients made these kinds of donations every year.
I want to see the list of names of Stratfor subscribers who tell the credit card agencies to stop payment on the Anonymous donations.
"One would think that Stratfor's peace-and-freedom-loving clients made these kinds of donations every year. "
One would be mistaken wouldn't they? I'd like to see that list as well.
Something is strange here. Why would someone about to make illegal use of credit card information announce it up front?
In order to expose a security company which apparently provides no security.
I was aghast at the people being "SAD" that they had donated to the Red Cross and CARE. And there is something fishy about Cody's whining.
Anon gets the Monkey Wrench award.
Hey Stonepig,
You've coined a great one there!
The esteemed CD Monthly "Monkeywrench Award". God I love it. I think you're really on to something here. How about it anon hackers? Can you raise Goldman ShitSac Blankfien's credit rating and distribute all that money he stole from bailouts back to the charities?
Now a second blockbuster like that's going to get you nominated for another coveted "Monkey Wrench Award" in the CD Robin Hood Category.
"They took money I did not have," he told the Associated Press in a series of emails, which did not specify the amount taken. "I think 'Why me?' I am not rich."
The rhetorical mirror question of the year - Homeland Security
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I am thinking a whole new industry will crop up espousing to do just that. Afterall with smaller government the task will have to be outsourced. I wouldn't be surprised if Stratfor spun off a subsidary to do just that.
ABC News (Owned by Capital Cities/ Disney) has quite a piece of propaganda on the front page of their website today. Including an article called something like "What To Do When Anonymous Comes After You."
Common dreams? AP?!!!
It made me feel terrible. It made my wife feel terrible. We had to close the account. Yes, Mr. Barr and his wife feel so terrible that they will contact their credit card company and get the charges on their credit card for the donations expunged. Then they will claim the charitable donations on their federal and state tax returns anyway. Yep, they feel really terrible!
I wonder how many others won't have the chutzpah to retract the donations. Or will feel pressured into actually making donations after they retract the "anonymously" made ones. Either way the charitable organizations stand to profit. Bravo!
If I understand how it works, then the only ones who will end up paying are the credit card companies in time and efforts to cancel and reissuing new credit cards to everyone on the list and perhaps get stung for a few legit charges as well.
Which reminds me of an article I read earlier elsewhere that the Italian government is going to ban the use of cash over a relatively small amount in many if not most transactions, "Prime Minister Mario Monti, in office just over a month, wants landlords, plumbers, electricians and small businesses to stop conducting large transactions in cash, which critics say helps them evade taxes. The government on December 4 reduced the maximum allowed cash payment to €1,000 from €2,500."
(SMCP "Italian tax crackdown aims to cut cash habit
New PM focuses on curtailing evasion as one way to reduce country's €1.9 trillion debt
Bloomberg in Rome and Milan
Dec 27, 2011 ")
"The government on December 4 reduced the maximum allowed cash payment to €1,000 from €2,500."" How exactly do they plan on enforcing that if they can't enforce their tax laws?
Just instills all kinds of confidence in the booming private intelligence/security industry that is subsidized with tax payer dollars doesn't it?
""But I think the hackers live in this kind of world where once they fixate on you or try to attack you it's extraordinarily difficult to defend against," Burton added."
Doesn't this company live in the same world? Aren't they supposed to be accessing and reducing those risks for their clients? Or do they live in a parallel universe?
Just heard a "news" report on ABC reporting on the incident depicting "anonymous" as a "loosely knit group". Had to laugh. Just the way they tried to discredit OWS. Perhaps Stratfor should be as "loosely knit"? But no, they are "supposedly" a credible corporate security presence. I wonder how many in the media or Washington have stock in Stratfor? Would be a number I'd be interested in.
Just reread this article and it starts with the same line:
"The loose-knit hacking movement Anonymous "
Would appear everyone uses the same writers.
We need a similar group that'll mess up electronic payments to large defense contractors (can you say KBR or Blackwater?) who are ripping off the taxpayer. and make them wait many years to get their money. That would be hilarious.

Shopper camps out for 29 hours to bag bargain
Last updated at 16:13, Wednesday, 02 January 2013
A WALNEY man proved he is quick by name and quick by nature after camping outside a furniture store for a staggering 29 hours to snap up a post-Christmas bargain.
By Ross Tyson
Adrian Quick braved the wet weather, as well as the attention of a few drunken revellers, during his vigil outside Dandy's in Duke Street, Barrow.
The Silloth Crescent resident had set his sights on a five-piece oak dining set he had seen advertised in the Evening Mail, reduced from £1,495 to just £50.
"I needed a table and chairs and for that price I thought I might as well get in early just to be sure," he said.
Mr Quick began his mammoth wait at 5am on Wednesday in preparation for the store's opening at 10am yesterday.
The 50-year-old had his car containing supplies parked nearby – a fold-up chair to sit on and a thick book to beat off the boredom.
Mr Quick said a steady stream of party goers into the early hours kept him entertained.
"There were a few laughing and joking as they came past – and some even offered me money," he said.
The committed shopper was eventually joined outside Dandy's at 5am yesterday by bargain hunter Andy Hill, 36.
Mr Hill, of Anchor Road, Barrow, was in the market for a new bed and had seen one in The Advertiser.
He said: "I'm a bit surprised there aren't more people here, actually."
When the store's doors finally opened, Mr Quick's patience was rewarded not only with the table and chairs, but a piping hot cup of coffee.
"The staff were a bit surprised when they heard how long I'd been out there," he said.
While Mr Quick was delighted with his purchase, he said he would think twice about taking the same approach in future years.
"If I did, I wouldn't come this early again," he said.
Neill Berry, of Stollers Furniture World in Walney Road, essentially started his store's big sale on December 1 to capitalise on both the pre- and post-Christmas demand.
He said offering discounts all month on his stock was more convenient for customers as it eliminated the need for them to rush down on December 27 and queue.
He said: "It's doing very well and we're very pleased with the way it's going.
"We've done a lot of business this December that previously customers would have waited until December 27 to do.
"It's been very encouraging. Everybody is up-beat and the customers seem to be very happy with the prices."
Early bird shoppers also visited Marks & Spencer, Next, and Debenhams.
