"Mr. Poplawski's view of guns and personal freedom took a turn toward the fringes of American politics. With Mr. Perkovic, he appeared to share a belief that the government was controlled from unseen forces, that troops were being shipped home from the Mideast to police the citizenry here, and that Jews secretly ran the country…
Believing most media were covering up important events, Mr. Poplawski turned to a far-right conspiracy Web site run by Alex Jones, a self-described documentarian with roots going back to the extremist militia movement of the early 1990s.
Around the same time, he joined Florida-based Stormfront, which has long been a clearinghouse Web site for far-right groups. He posted photographs of his tattoo, an eagle spread across his chest."

Secondly, I believe in the 2nd amendment as much as anyone, but I've never understood why there is no ban on assault rifles. With that being said, I also worry about what's happening with our freedoms under the ogabe admin.
This is what I mean. Republicans say "We care about your freedoms" then they talk about banning firearms, or warrantless searches, phone wiretapping, etc. It's this weird cognitive dissonance, and I thought it would change a little bit post-election.

"I'm a Republican and I'm very concerned about our freedoms, but I do want to ban your weapons and tap your phone lines, and take a peek into your computer hard drive…"
Oops, I thought it froze up on me the first time. Government must already be getting into here..
Which Republican wants to ban firearms?

The biggest obvious absurdity here is,,, what about Bill Ayers??? Bill Ayers is just a Timothy McVeigh who got away with it!! And our President started his political campaign out of this bomber's house!!! He lives in the same freaking neighborhood as this terrorist!!!
With the left,,, there is never guilt by association!! They can give our enemies talking points,, they can root for the same thing as the terrorists do,, they wine and dine with scumbags from all around the world,, and our President can sit in the church for 20 freaking years yet not have any association with its pastor,,, a pastor who said we deserved 911,,, Obama has no association with that man!! None at all!!! Obama has no association with Bill Ayers!! none at all!!
Yet let some nutcase wack job go commit murder and mayhem and suddenly all conservatives are guilty by association!!
No ,, the left can actually engage in real Fascism yet never are they fascists!!! They can actually engage in McCarthy type tactics demanding names of innocent people in congressional hearings yet never will they be accused of McCarthyism!!
Maybe we need a witch hunt against people who wear tattoos on their chests! Maybe people who like eagles have a tendency toward murder! Did this guy smoke?? Obama smokes! Did he ever use any illegal drugs?? Did Obama?? Did he ever watch CBS??? NBC??? We need to find out!!
You know,, Hitler had a thing for movie stars. Any politicians ever covert with movie stars??? If so,, maybe we need to check that out!! Hitler hated tobacco! Any politicians hate tobacco too?? Maybe we need to check that out as well!
If the left in the media want to play this game,, then conservatives need to be prepared how to address it!! Head on!!

I'm sure this was mentioned but I didnt read all the responses… this guy sounds like a ultra hard core libertarian with more than a little lunatic in him. I dont know if you want to classify that as "right wing" or not. I mean in the sense that Ron Paul is right wing I suppose so. Or that Alex Jones is "right wing"? I think he's just out there in his own little world and happens to have some ideas that coincide with conservatives (gun rights) and some that coincide with liberals (9/11 inside job!)
Dash on April 6, 2009 at 8:19 AM
I haven't had time to read the comments… I just wanted to mention that many liberal/leftist elites, and even members of our own State Department, believe that the 'Jews run the country' (like, you know, the "neo-cons"), so to attribute this paranoia as something which is exclusively in the domain of fringe kooks on the right would be a mistake.
Buy Danish on April 6, 2009 at 8:59 AM
Anarchist = Conservative? EPIC FAIL.
Next thing we'll hear is that Allahpundit is a conservative, too. *Chuckle*
Is it too much to expect American citizens to appreciate the difference between these two groups? Anarchists are more frequently located somewhere between libertarians and ultra-progressives. They have about as much to do with conservatives or Republicans as Hillary Clinton. That is, there are certain, extremely limited commonalities, but nothing more than that.
"Oh, he's an anti-semite. Must be a conservative!" Um, actually, that would be the progressive Left and their Hamas-loving selves.
Secondly, I believe in the 2nd amendment as much as anyone, but I've never understood why there is no ban on assault rifles.
If A is true, B cannot follow. I don't think you are a believer in the 2nd amendment as it was written. The very name "assault rifle" is meaningless until you can clearly define it. What is your criteria for banning firearms?
First, I'm guessing you may well identify an "assault rifle" by it's appearance. This means nothing from the standpoint of practicality and purpose. That it looks military is irrelevant to it's function. Do you really want to ban anything on appearance alone?
If you oppose semi-auto function, then you have just set yourself in opposition to a vast number of firearms that
don't look military at all. My Glenfield Model 60 in .22 most definitely doesn't look military but it is semi-auto (self loading with one trigger pull = one shot). Neither do Remington semi automatic hunting rifles look anything like military arms. Yet I have an old bolt action Moisin-Nagant that may have picked off a few Germans in WWII that is most decidedly a military weapon but isn't semi-auto.
Are we talking magazine capacity? My compact ten-round 40 cal can spit out those ten rounds pretty fast and then I can drop the magazine and pop in another in two to three seconds. Revolvers: six rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger and then speedload six more in two to three seconds. Good gun handlers can do it faster than that.
Is it caliber you object to? Most popular military calibers are available in semi-auto, bolt action and even single shot rifle and some pistols for civilian use. The most popular hunting caliber of all time, the 30-06, was our standard military cartrige from WWI through WWII and was supplanted by the .308 (which is only a 30-06 shortened by a bit for the M14 rifle. This was replaced by the 5.56mm whose civilian counterpart is the 223 (almost identical – you can shoot 223 in a 5.56 weapon but not the other way around). All the above are prime hunting calibers and we'd be poorer without them.
Finally, if you are referring to full-auto weapons, access to those is restricted by several laws and heavy license fees. Go back through FBI crime statistics and see how many full-auto weapons have been used in the commission of crimes over the past ten years. I don't know the numbers but I'm willing to bet heavily that the number is tiny, if any at all.
I don't mean to hammer on you over this and I know I ramble on, but the whole "assault rifle" thing just grates on me when people throw it around and can't defend it.
I welcome corrections to the above if I've erred on any of my facts.

You modern liberals do love to take liberties with reality, don't you.

Here is how it is defined in Massachusetts in case you are curious. More at the link.
Chapter 140: Section 121. Firearms sales; definitions; antique firearms; application of law; exceptions
"Assault weapon", shall have the same meaning as a semiautomatic assault weapon as defined in the federal Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. section 921(a)(30) as appearing in such section on September 13, 1994, and shall include, but not be limited to, any of the weapons, or copies or duplicates of the weapons, of any caliber, known as: (i) Avtomat Kalashnikov (AK) (all models); (ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil; (iii) Beretta Ar70 (SC-70); (iv) Colt AR-15; (v) Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR and FNC; (vi) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9 and M-12; (vi) Steyr AUG; (vii) INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and (viii) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as, or similar to, the Street Sweeper and Striker 12; provided, however, that the term assault weapon shall not include: (i) any of the weapons, or replicas or duplicates of such weapons, specified in appendix A to 18 U.S.C. section 922 as appearing in such appendix on September 13, 1994, as such weapons were manufactured on October 1, 1993; (ii) any weapon that is operated by manual bolt, pump, lever or slide action; (iii) any weapon that has been rendered permanently inoperable or otherwise rendered permanently unable to be designated a semiautomatic assault weapon; (iv) any weapon that was manufactured prior to the year 1899; (v) any weapon that is an antique or relic, theatrical prop or other weapon that is not capable of firing a projectile and which is not intended for use as a functional weapon and cannot be readily modified through a combination of available parts into an operable assault weapon; (vi) any semiautomatic rifle that cannot accept a detachable magazine that holds more than five rounds of ammunition; or (vii) any semiautomatic shotgun that cannot hold more than five rounds of ammunition in a fixed or detachable magazine.

The Dean on April 6, 2009 at 7:02 AM
Let me clarify my thoughts. I have a son in Law Enforcement, and the thought of what happened in Oakland and Pittsburgh has me deeply concerned. Mixon reportedly murdered two policeman with an assault rifle while hidden behind a closet door. The Pittsburgh killer used an AK-47 to murder 3 policemen.
My first point is why the hell was it ever made legal to own automatic weapons? The offset to this is that banning them now would not prevent criminals like Mixon from getting and using them. Overriding all of this is my concern for any loss of freedoms that the current US socialist regime wants to impose on us. I don't trust Hopenchains and his minions, and I certainly don't like the path he has us on.
Call me ambivalent. I've been called worse.
Sweet_Thang on April 6, 2009 at 9:48 AM
Boy, old April has really honed her trolling skills. She's another one who equated Palin and her family with trailer trash and should have been banned. Fortunately for her, Allahpundit has zero credibility and is a troll himself.
Blake on April 6, 2009 at 9:55 AM
Morons need not assume that I have anything but contempt for the overgrown bully and juvenile delinquent gone adult @sswipe Poplawski.
That said, it's a truly enlightened person who disagrees about everything over one point of opinion. Namely, Alex Jones can't be right about anything because he is wrong about X in Y's opinion.
THOSE WHO KNOW Alex Jones know that he is absolutely opposed to taking up arms as Poplawski did. Alex Jones uses the media to expose radical issues and directs his supporters energies to the ballot poll for effective change.
Alex Jones IS out there and needs to be taken with a grain of salt. But he has made more valid points than Allahpundit who only points fingers depending upon which way the wind blows.
Too easy to deepen the shaft on your competition, Allapundit. Careful there, cheap shot. Alex Jones got mentioned out of context. And don't think that any conservative website is off the hook. Dig deeper and find Poplawski's trace on HotAir files, or LGF or Ace of Spades, where ever he may have visited and left a comment or enlisted automated e-mail updates, perhaps from the RNC. Hell, leave it to Carl Cameron to fabricate for the Left to regurgitate and abrakadabra, it's not just news, but you are now officially a demon on record.
Quoting Roddy as if Roddy knows all leaves you as a clip artist. Since the Catholic high school asked Poplawski to leave, the Catholic Church got exonerated by By Dennis B. Roddy, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette who also failed to mention which branch of the military Poplawski joined before getting the official reprimand boot out. Had Mr. Roddy a personal grudge against either the Catholic Church or the US Military (or HotAir), he'd have colored his presentation negatively against those institutions as well.
It's too easy, negatively labeling the one who sees how far gone things were heading and have already gone. But that's your forte, Allap, lacking your own intestinal fortitude to put yourself on the conservative line. You're a cheap shot artist with lack of vision and lack of integrity. Compared to Alex Jones, you are a worm. Take responsibility for smearing your competitor, broadcasting every person's name and address who donated to Jones in your own witch hunt during your primary tar and feather campaign against Ron Paul. Rather than educating, you flamed for fun. Ron Paul's another victim of Michelle & Co. who wouldn't concede him ANY validity because Paul exhibited his own age's style vs. the faux PC mannerisms that critics alternately wear and discard according to their own whims. Tacky.
The point is, don't demonize forces on the fringe that are more accurate than off base just because you're chicken shit to go that far scouting what's beyond your own view.
(Background info: So far as HotAir prejudice may be concerned, Mr. Jones did not know and certainly did not endorse the Truthers attack on Michell Malkin; he roundly denounced them and apologized directly to Michelle.)

No way that a true God-fearing, constitution-defending conservative actually wrote that comment defending assault weapons bans.
No way.
I'm almost certain that the Founding Fathers would not have, had they thought more about it, protected only Daiseys and shotguns.
They didn't protect our firearms so we could hunt, folks. That's just how liberals address it to sneak ever-more-encroaching laws onto the books limiting your freedoms:
"You don't need assualt weaopns to shoot a deer." But, you see, we DO to protect our land/family/country from you.

By the way, you're not fooling anybody.
jim, i don't care whether any of you apply the libtroll label to me – either as an orthodoxy enforcement pejorative, or out of an earnest conviction that i am in fact an arch leftist out to harm your orthodoxy. either way it has the same substance as if you were to plug your ears and yell, "i'm not listening!" like a child would.
the fact that i've been candid about is that i've all but given up trying to reconcile my beliefs with the erratic and ruinous tides of the movement.
that's the change i've gone through. the change you seem to have gone through is to devolve from once being an often-clever blogger into some kind of pitiful ed mcmahon impersonation, slinging out rubbish one-liners in the comments section at hotair.
1.B — surrounded
Speaking strictly for yourself, right?
doesn't even make sense. clearly not, since i've never had anything to do with immigration reform derangement and have only been critical of it.
"i know you are but what am i?" is, once again, a child's retort, and you look like a clown saying it. it's as if you walked into a room with shit caked on the heel of your shoe, someone told you so, and you said, "nuh uh! you got shit on your shoe."

Here's the website,of Alex Jones screaming at Michelle
Malkin. …Michelle Malkin Stalked and Threatened by 9-11 Trither!
…and when it comes to her contrived rage about chickens being stolen 1,600 miles to her southwest, she gets approving links on the stormfront forums.
1.E — ColtsFan
So you favor identity theft?? So you think Social Security fraud is a good thing?
i don't favor these things. i think the disproportionate rage focused on these petty larcenies can only serve to cause others to wonder what it is that really troubles the border enforcement nutters. worried about identity theft? shred your mail. the appropriate device can be obtained at walgreens for less than twenty bucks. the 9-11 hijackers weren't mexican and they didn't sneak across the border. ms-13, i'm afraid, is not menacing the streets of wyoming and is no more a national security issue than the crips. as mayor giuliani correctly noted, entering the country illegally is a misdemeanor, not a grave or fatal transgression of our nation's founding principles. a border wall or fence will not keep a single mexican from crossing into the country and will only serve as an emblem of government waste. a fence to nowhere for nothing.
these are silly, contrived red herrings.
1.F — RightOFLeft
illegal immigration is a catastrophic problem for the border states. Every country limits immigration, every country has borders. No doubt many racists oppose illegal immigration for all the wrong reasons. A broken clock and all…
in other words, it's a local problem. conservatives, i seem to remember from some hazy memory of a distant past, seem to have once had a position on the proper place of local problems in national politics…what was that?
ah, but some rancher suffering a broken fence and a couple of stolen chickens is a BFD for some guy in indiana or utah. that makes sense. no reason to look for alternate explanations for his prepossessing, pants-pissing rage over the matter.
the organized anti-illegal immigration movement has a long and rich pedigree which spans back much further than 2005, when it seems to me that the mainstream conservative movement latched on to it's cause. i've noted this before, just as i've noted that those origins are basically when a green neo-malthusian lefty forged alliances with established white nationalists.
the pre-existence and origins of that movement so understood, i'm going to tell you the same thing i tell "moderate progressives" who want to defend their participation in stalinist and maoist-orchestrated "antiwar" rallies on the grounds that it's "unfair" to group them with the commies on account of their discrete agreement on that one issue: you participate in their initiatives. you adopt their cause – not the other way around.
2.A — Tark
I don't consider stormfront, vdare, and the Rockford institute part of the core conservative movement, but nobody can deny that there's some shit from those sites trying to ride in on our shoes. People need to be aware of the white supremacists because those associations carry a stench that doesn't come out.
this is in essence all i've ever said, and why. congrats. you are a "libtroll" now.
i would note that malkin publishes at vdare.
2.B — Tark
(stormfronters supported ron paul) …because he's tied to the Lew Rockwell axis of the Rockford institute
Jenfidel suggested that there are also the anti-semitic and anti-war issues. paleo-libertarians are not by any means doctrinally anti-semitic. many jews are paleo-libertarian gods. i don't think this is a fair charge against the von mises set.
the real point of intersection is grand conspiracy.
on the rockwell side, there is the cause of abolishing the federal reserve system.
the intermediary is bircherism, which sees the federal reserve as the conspiracy's economic weapon, used in concert with the conspiracy's foreign policy weapon, the council on foreign relations.
the identity of the conspirators in the bircherite telling is left ambiguous in racial terms. though the principals named are jews and are known collectively as "the bilderberg group", bircherites go out of their way though to note that this says little about jews as a race or a culture, noting that these families originally derive their power and fortune as the court finance ministers of european royalty.
of course on the neo-nazi, white supremacist side, it's all just the jewish conspiracy, which in post-war racialist movements (yes, even mecha) has basically supplanted the volkish nationalist ideology as the rallying point of belief.
this is why i say that jonah goldberg's excellent analysis of the european fascist movements' kinship with american progressivism is inoperative when discussing american racialists. american racialism and neo-nazism aren't doctrines about economics or the role of the state. they're a conspiratorial pseudo-religion dedicated primarily to suspecting jews. that's all that those swastika tattoos and ss cloisonne pins retain in substance from the nazis regime that was. nothing more.
2.C — Guardian
Zombie over at LGF sums it up pretty well:

2.D — Ric
…another poster tried to equivocate this loons ideology with the authoritarian left. I was just pushing back against Buckaroo's erroneous idea.
that was my only aim as well.
the effectiveness of dropping robert byrd's name plummets to zero when actual white supremacists call themselves conservatives and high-profile conservatives associate themselves with "white nationalist" publications and causes. a respectable movement which honors pluralism and equality under the law needs to actually affirmatively push itself away from racial demagogues. otherwise, it's like tossing back a grenade after it's already exploded on half your men.

The American Rebels were a mix of what we would today call extreme libertarians and the extreme religious right. The then equivalent of left-liberals were monarchists.

A couple of stolen chickens? My hometown of Phoenix has some of the highest rates of identity theft, car theft, kidnapping, and probably others. It's the 17th "most dangerous" city in the country. Tucson is 18th. LA county is 19th. It's impossible to get a low-skilled job in the Phoenix area for a decent wage. Our health care system (which is surprisingly progressive for a fairly conservative state) is hemorrhaging money. Our school system is similarly taxed with students who, despite having the same potential to learn as any legal residents, are caught in a system that can't teach them in the only language they know how to speak.
Phoenix has always benefited from a moderate amount of illegal immigration, but we're way over capacity here and we could really use some help from the federal government (which is supposed to be responsible for maintaining the border).
Since I'm pissing you off, I may as well piss everybody else off. McCain-Kennedy would have really helped out. Since we all know Republicans have no plans to cut off a cheap source of labor for their business constituents, we may as well give illegal immigrants a stake in our country's well-being. They also wouldn't make such convenient targets of violent crimes if they felt secure that reporting it wouldn't land them back in Mexico. The Z-card would've made manageable finding out who is in our country legitimately to find work, and who's here at the behest of the drug cartels that effectively run South America.
9/11 never would've happened if we had a sane border policy. Even though the hijackers didn't come through the souther border, nearly all, if not all, were living here illegally. The same policies that deprive ICE of the resources to staunch the flood of illegal immigration at the southern border prevented them from finding and deporting 19 very dangerous illegal immigrants.
This isn't Ellis Island. This is the modern world, with modern problems. Organized crime has more resources than law enforcement. The U.S. isn't some upstart far removed from international politics. We're the epicenter of international politics, and there are well-funded organizations that exist for no other purpose than to do us harm. Massive social spending initiated in the great depression has doubled or tripled the cost of accommodating any new arrivals. The United States has matured, and now our border policy has to mature.

Secondly, I believe in the 2nd amendment as much as anyone, but I've never understood why there is no ban on assault rifles.
Actually true "assault rifles" have been banned in this country for a long time. Real assault rifles (those used by the military) can be fired fully automatically. (one trigger pull discharging multiple rounds…you see it in movies all the time… people "spraying" an area with bullets until the magazine is empty). It's the confusion between full automatic and semi-automatic capability that is what a lot of the stink is about.
Many hunting rifles are semi-automatic. (meaning one discharge per trigger pull until the magazine is empty…. no ability to depress the trigger and"spray" an area with bullets.
Other types of non-semi-automatic rifles are Lever action and bolt action rifles where a round has to be physically loaded into the firing chamber before each trigger pull and subsiquent discharge. (many times meaning that you don't get a second shot at that Elk).
So the bottom line is….. don't worry about "assault weapons", they're already banned.

Even so, look at what happened with England and Australia. There crime rates are really high and the gangs *gasp* still have access to illegal weapons.
Last point, it always starts off with one thing, 'Oh you guys don't need assault weapons.' 'Oh you guys don't need semi-automatic hangung.' 'Oh you guys don't need rifles… here's a b-b gun.' 'Oh you guys don't need the b-b gun you might put your eye out with that thing.'

Secondly, I believe in the 2nd amendment as much as anyone, but I've never understood why there is no ban on assault rifles.

The better question is why were the cops in Pittsburgh only armed with 9 MMs?

They should have shot that wackjob in the head and saved everyone the pain, expense of trial and jailing the creep.

Kelley's Deli has a new home: after 14 years in downtown Westerly, the space was getting tight (lines out the door in the summer), the customers' hike to the restrooms in the historic multi-use building was circuitous (to the say the least), and regulars had been begging for years for Sunday hours. Now the chef (Kevin Kelley) has elbow room in the kitchen, diners have more tables and booths, and a regular Sunday breakfast crowd has already established itself.
The "Deli" part of Kelley's name refers to the restaurant's take-out and delivery business, from the extensive list of sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfast specials. Locals and tourists such as ourselves (we do live 20 miles away, after all) are thrilled that Kelley's, as a hometown café, is alive and well and still turning out tasty Irish specialties, all-American sandwiches and salads, a few items with an out-of-New England twist, old-fashioned ham-and-egg breakfast plates, and new-fangled omelets, such as one with spinach, roasted peppers, feta, and kalamata olives.
Now here's what made Kelley's a notch above an ordinary diner the first time we visited. On that particular day, we were trying to keep a low profile on the carb side of our diet, and Bill could handily satisfy his appetite with a grilled chicken breast with jerk seasoning atop a tossed salad ($6.95). I ordered a California turkey wrap special ($6.95) with avocado, because I could pull away much of the wrap, and I could choose cottage cheese (the dieter's friend, or nightmare, depending) as my side dish (other options are French fries, macaroni salad, coleslaw, or chips).
On that first visit, we also tasted Kelley's Irish potato cakes, made from a recipe based on his grandmother's potato cakes (the low-carb idea went out the window). Though Kelley mashes the potatoes, there's still a bit of texture inside. He mixes them with just enough salt, pepper, and herbs so that it brings out the potato flavor, and he pan-fries them to a golden crispness.
Other Irish-themed offerings include eggs scrambled with corned beef, eggs with bangers (Irish-style steamed pork sausages imported from Brooklyn), and corned beef and melted cheese sandwiches. On our second visit, Bill chose one of the latter, though he went for the Reuben ($7.50), with corned beef, Swiss, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing.
He was quite pleased, commenting, "I can't imagine it better!" He could barely wrap his yap around the pile of corned beef, and he also noted the "great tang of caraway" in the rye bread. His "side" was also generous: macaroni salad with a dash of mustard in the mayo dressing.
We both started this meal with a cup of soup ($2.95). I had to try "Kelley's famous baked potato soup," and Bill got the Cajun chicken soup, so packed with shreds of chicken that it was hard to discern the black beans and corn in there. The broth was nice and tomatoey, but not overly fiery. My soup was topped with lots of cheddar, and was also delicious, with large chunks of baked potato.
After much indecision on my part over the sandwiches, our friendly waitress suggested that the raisin bread chicken salad melt ($6.99) was a customer favorite. The homemade chicken salad was good, and it was perked up by sundried cranberries and the raisins in the bread. It was nicely grilled before fresh baby greens were tucked inside. My side was creamy coleslaw, sparked with a bit of mustard.

Tyrone Spong Confirms Possible Kickboxing Departure for MMA, Plus World Grand Prix Thoughts
- Written by Dave Walsh
Tyrone Spong has been one of the three names being tossed around as a fighter leaving the sport of Kickboxing in their rear view to pursue another sport. The other two are of course Badr Hari and Gokhan Saki who have lofty goals to move into the Heavyweight Boxing arena and make a huge impact. What actually happens is yet-to-be-seen, but for now there is no doubt what their intentions are. MMANation.com's Matt Roth went to UFC 136 and proves why it is nice for a friend and kickboxing fan to be at a big combat sports event like this, as he not only recognizes who Tyrone Spong is and interviews him, but asks him the right questions that people actually want to know about.
There are a few things here, first is his pretty frank assessment of Saki and Badr's chances in Boxing, then is his talk of moving on to MMA and how the fight with Melvin Manhoef in It's Showtime could also be Tyrone's Kickboxing swan song. Then of course, the World Grand Prix. Tyrone has long been rumored to be on the card, but it seems as of the UFC 136 Fan Expo Tyrone Spong is still owed money by FEG and isn't planning on fighting. It should also be noted that Tyrone recently had surgery on his knee and has been healing up, which could also play a big factor in his ability to fight in a few weeks, although he hasn't been talking about it much.

I was given some rutabaga and now don't know what to do with it...
Printable View
I was given some rutabaga and now don't know what to do with it...
First off, those suckers are hard! I use a large butcher knife and my kitchen hammer to slice right down the middle. Place the knife lengthwise across the rutabaga and where the knife tip extends beyond the rutabaga, tap that firmly with the hammer until the knife cuts all the way through. I then cut the halves into 1 inch slices. This makes the slices easy to peel with a peeling knife. After that I cut into 1 inch cubes and put them in a saucepan covered with water to boil. Once the cubes are soft, I drain and mash with butter.
you can use them in a number of ways. I like chunking them with with a roast, carrots, potatoes. You can use then in stews, veggie soup, mashed. A rutabaga is the "love child" of a cabbage & turnip star cross love affair ;)
Here I just entered the word rutubaga recipes .... and tada!!
That will help to soften the beast and make your mutilation a little easier.
If it has been waxed ... wrap in paper towels before zapping, so you don;t have a puddle of wax to deal with.
To be Honest .... IMHO .... the best thing to do with rutabagas/turnips is to refuse them in the first place!
And not to let them follow you home!!!!!! :D:D:D:D
First I scrub with a veggie brush! Then parboil enough to be able to peel. Then cut size I want. Drizzle a little oil and toss. drain oil off pop in oven on baking sheet about 325-350 for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes (check for doneness). Season to taste.
I do buy them to put in soup. Also have cooked...boil the heck out of them, then you can mash them like a potato.
I cut mine like Tartan...only I say a few choice words along the way. I steam the chunks along with some chopped carrots. When they're soft I mash them with cheese (aged cheddar) and maybe add an egg or some milk or both, pop them into a casserole dish & bake them for about 1/2 hour, yummy! That's how I taught myself to " like" the turnip family.....
My mom use to cube them and fry them in butter with salt and pepper, they were the best!!! I don't know if she boiled them first but it makes sense that it would be the best way to do them before frying.

CB Coax Cable
CB coax cable is necessary to connect your antenna to your radio. The coax doesn't actually connect directly to your antenna, but rather to the antenna mount. This allows the center wire of the coax to remain isolated from the outer ground.
There are some important things to remember when choosing a CB antenna coax:
Make sure the connectors on your coax match your antenna mount. You will always have at least one of the big, screw-on PL259 connectors on one end of the coax, but the other end can have a PL259, center and ground wires with lug connectors, or single ring connectors like Firestik's Firering.
Use a co-phase harness for dual antenna installations. A single coax is 50 ohms. A co-phase harness is 72 ohms before it splits into 50 ohms for each antenna. This is important for a good SWR. If you try to connect two single coax lengths to a T connector for dual antennas, you may run into high SWR issues.
Use NGP cable for NGP antennas. Using no ground plane antenna cable for a traditional antenna (and visa versa) will give you high SWR problems.
Browse our selection of CB Coax cable from brands like FireStik and Procomm. If you need help with choosing the right cable, or simply a new CB antenna, we suggest reading our handy guide to choosing the best CB antenna. It has helped many of our customers find the right products for their needs.

Canon releases PowerShot G12 premium compact
Pre-Photokina 2010: Canon has launched the PowerShot G12 premium compact, successor to PowerShot G11 released last year. Inheriting most of the core features of the G11, the latest model sees the addition of an EOS-style front control dial, Hybrid IS for close-up work, and 720p HD video recording. It also adds multi-aspect ratio shooting and SDXC card compatibility. The rest of the features remain the same including a 28-140mm equivalent lens, 2.8" tilt and swivel LCD, manual control and RAW shooting.

Canon unleashes the benchmark PowerShot G12
London, UK, 14th September 2010 – Canon today announces the new PowerShot G12 – the latest model in the multi award-winning PowerShot G-series trusted by professional photographers the world over. The new model offers photographers best-in-class flexibility and all-round powerful performance, with professional levels of control and support for a wide range of accessories.
While retaining the classic handling and control of its predecessor, the PowerShot G12 has been designed to offer superior performance to suit the needs of professionals and enthusiasts alike. Canon's HS System, 720p HD movie recording and Hybrid IS are new additions, delivering premium image quality in stills and movies, and a new Front Dial provides improved handling and swift manual control. The PowerShot G12 is also compatible with a new optional Lens Filter Adapter, which extends with the lens when using the zoom to offer full coverage throughout the zoom range.
The HS System: Premium Canon image quality, even in low light
The PowerShot G12 is the first G-series model to feature Canon's HS System – a powerful combination of a high-sensitivity 10.0 Megapixel CCD sensor and high-performance DIGIC 4 processor designed to provide outstanding image quality in all lighting conditions, including low light.
The inclusion of the HS System allows shooting at higher ISOs with excellent image quality – enabling users to capture exceptional images in all conditions. This extended ISO range allows users to shoot darker scenes without engaging the flash or using a tripod – capturing correctly-exposed images using only the available light. In situations when use of the flash is necessary, a higher ISO will enable users to extend its effective range and illuminate the subject more effectively. Higher ISOs also enable users to utilise faster shutter speeds – freezing motion to capture moving subjects with a reduced risk of blur.
Allowing users precise control over the ISO level, the dedicated ISO dial now allows adjustments in 1/3 stop increments. In addition to this, a new Auto ISO level adjustment feature allows users to pre-configure the maximum ISO setting they wish to use during shooting and specify how the camera selects the ISO to obtain the best balance between image quality and shutter speed.
In very dark situations, Low Light mode can be used to extend the ISO range up to ISO 12800, with the ability for users to control ISO and white balance to accurately capture the ambience of a dimly-lit environment. Users can also capture fast-moving action with the ability to shoot at up to 4.2 shots per second.
Genuine Canon Lens with Hybrid IS
The PowerShot G12 features a premium 28mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens, allowing users to capture sweeping landscapes and get closer to distant subjects during shooting. Benefiting from Canon's extensive heritage in lens design, the lens has been developed using the same processes and quality standards employed to manufacture Canon's range of EF lenses, ensuring the capture of sharp, detailed shots while still having a compact size so the lens can retract completely into the camera body when not in use.
Counteracting camera shake and enabling photographers to capture shots in darker conditions, the PowerShot G12's optical Image Stabilizer allows shooting at shutter speeds approximately 4-stops slower than would be otherwise necessary to achieve a sharp shot. Also included in the PowerShot G12 is Canon's Hybrid IS technology to increase the effectiveness of the optical Image Stabilizer when shooting macro subjects. The PowerShot G12 can focus as close as 1cm to a subject, and the slightest lateral movement of the photographer can negatively affect image quality, making it difficult to capture blur-free shots without the assistance of a tripod. Hybrid IS counteracts unintentional shift and angular movement – two kinds of camera shake that become particularly pronounced as image magnification increases.
Flexible shooting
Flexible shooting and playback is provided by the PowerShot G12's 7.0cm (2.8") high-resolution Vari-Angle PureColor II VA LCD screen. The rotating Vari-Angle design offers easy framing from a range of angles, such as when shooting at ground level or overhead. To accommodate a range of shooting styles, the PowerShot G12 also features an optical viewfinder (OVF) with diopter adjustment, allowing users to match the OVF to their vision. After image capture, photographers can also utilise the newly integrated RGB histogram during playback, allowing them to instantly check the exposure of a shot in detail.
Take complete control
As well as offering Full Manual control and a range of semi-automatic modes, the addition of a new Front Dial provides swift and convenient access to settings during shooting. Users can either prioritise the Front Dial or the rear Multi-Control Dial as the main way of controlling the camera, or use a combination of both. For example, the Front Dial can be set to control aperture in AV mode while the Multi-Control Dial controls white balance or shooting aspect ratio, or it can be used independently, with the rear Multi-Control Dial disabled to prevent accidental changes to settings.
For advanced amateurs and professionals, the PowerShot G12 also shoots uncompressed RAW images and includes Canon's Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software, providing the ability to edit images after capture. Sharing the same post-editing environment as the EOS system, the PowerShot G12 fits seamlessly into a photographer's existing workflow.
Electronic level and Multi-Aspect shooting
To aid the capture of level horizons, the PowerShot G12 also features a new Electronic Level function. Using information from the camera's acceleration sensor, an on-screen indicator allows users to check if the camera is level, working in either horizontal or vertical orientations to ensure level shots of portrait or landscape scenes. Multi-Aspect shooting in 3:2, 4:3, 1:1, 16:9 and 4:5 formats also allows photographers to shoot according to their subject and the intended use of the image, enabling them to choose which composition and result they want to capture as the image is taken and removing the need to post-process.
Stunning images, stunning video – HD movies with stereo sound
For the first time in a G-series model, the PowerShot G12 features 720p HD movie shooting (24fps) with stereo sound. Miniature Effect is also available in movie mode, adding a different dimension to video footage by shooting at a range of selectable slower frame rates for dramatic, compelling time-lapse-style videos which appear of model scale. An integrated HDMI port with CEC compatibility makes it simple for video and stills to be viewed on a HDTV and controlled directly using a compatible HDTV and remote control.
Capture scenes as you see them
Exceeding the limitations of conventional cameras the PowerShot G12 includes a new High Dynamic Range shooting mode*1, allowing the capture of high contrast scenes closer to how they appear to the user. While shooting on a tripod, the PowerShot G12 takes three different exposures of the same scene before analysing and combining shots in-camera to create a single image. The resulting shot captures highlight and shadow detail closer to how the photographer sees it.
As part of i-Contrast processing, the PowerShot G12 allows control over the amount of Dynamic Range correction which is applied in the camera to suppress highlight blow out and shadow detail loss in the final result. To allow photographers to brighten only shadowed areas of an image, Shadow Correction is included to brighten darker areas and reveal hidden detail in shadow regions.
To track subjects that are in motion, or to help achieve a creative composition, a new Tracking AF mode has been added to the PowerShot G12. This new mode gives photographers the ability to select objects from the centre of the frame and track them if they move, or if the frame is recomposed.
Extended shooting abilities
The PowerShot G12 offers comprehensive support for a wide range of accessories, expanding both the creative possibilities and providing enhanced results in certain shooting situations. A new lens filter adapter FA-DC58B attaches directly to the lens barrel ring, providing the ability to attach 58mm diameter Canon filters – such as a Circular Polarizer, Neutral Density, Protect and UV. The FA-DC58B is designed to move along with the lens while zooming, preventing vignetting at the wide-angle end of the zoom and providing filter coverage throughout the full optical zoom range of the lens.
The hot shoe provides compatibility with Canon's range of EX Speedlites*2, enabling photographers to both increase the available flash power or use an external flash via a remote shoe cord (OC-E3) for creative off-camera lighting, or to experiment with different lighting techniques. An optional Waterproof Case provides protection at depths of up to 40 meters, allowing users to record deep-water experiences in stunning detail.
While the PowerShot G12 offers the freedom and flexibility of manual control, users can also achieve exceptional image quality using Smart Auto mode. Intelligently detecting the scene and selecting the optimum settings from 28 variables, Smart Auto uses Scene Detection Technology to provide the best results in all conditions – allowing both serious photographers and beginners to capture excellent images instantly.
Eye-Fi connected functions
Easy, wireless content transfers are supported by Eye-Fi connected functions, allowing remote uploads to image sharing websites such as CANON iMAGE GATEWAY. The camera features a dedicated Eye-Fi section within the User Interface, and disables the auto power-down function when the Eye-Fi card transmits data – allowing the easy transfer of content without interruption*3.
Designed for photographers who demand exceptional quality in every area, the PowerShot G12 represents a unique blend of premium image quality, flexibility and excellent handling. A great complement to a larger SLR model or a powerful camera in its own right, it's the perfect compact for professionals and advanced amateurs – delivering outstanding quality from a body small enough to take on every assignment.
Share stories with CANON iMAGE GATEWAY
Owners of the PowerShot G12 can join the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, an online facility for sharing photos and video. Photographers can take advantage of up to 2GB of personal storage capacity, creating enough room for hundreds of high-quality images. Mobile browsing is also supported, making it easy for friends and family to view photos on the move.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Netflix Inc. saw a big advance notched during the first six weeks of the year blunted somewhat Monday after it lost out on scoring the exclusive rights to movies from Sony Pictures to cable TV network Starz.
Netflix NFLX, +1.20% was down 2.7% at $176.15 a share after Starz US:STRZA said it reached a deal with Sony SNE, +2.59% to extend the content agreement between the network and the studio to 2021 from a previous end date of 2016. Starz shares rose as much as 9% after the deal was announced.
The deal covers Sony films such as "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Men In Black 3," which will be shown on Starz this year.
Can Spotify save music industry?
On the eve of the Grammys, the big name buzzing on people's lips this year is not Adele or Bruno Mars... but Spotify. Here's an exclusive look inside the young company that music insiders say might just save the record industry
Netflix had no comment about whether it had made an offer for the Sony content, as some analysts estimated the deal's value at $2 billion.
Despite the setback Monday, this has so far been an upbeat year for Netflix. The company's stock price has climbed 92% in about six weeks, and is up 134% since Dec. 4, 2012, when it announced an exclusive agreement to carry films from the Walt Disney Co. DIS, -0.30% beginning in 2016.
Netflix also reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results and exceeded its estimates for new U.S. streaming video subscribers. See: Netflix scores upgrades as stock soars.
And on Feb. 1, Netflix premiered its original drama "House of Cards" starring Kevin Spacey, making all 13 episodes of the show's first season available for instant streaming at the same time. See: Netflix building a new TV model with 'House of Cards.'
The move to add original content has given many analysts more reasons to get behind Netflix at just about any time since the company's stock peaked at $304 in July 2011. That was before a slate of missteps, including what was at the time an unpopular decision to split the company's subscriptions into separate plans for DVD rentals and video streaming.
"Original content addresses a broader audience with the ability to introduce new subscribers to the service," wrote Morgan Stanley analyst Scott Devitt in a recent research note.
Devitt, who also raised his price target on Netflix's stock to $200 a share from $160, said he believes the growing impact of original content — which will include this year's release of the new season of the TV show "Arrested Development"— gives the company the opportunity to reach 50 million video-streaming subscribers across all its geographical regions. At the end of its fourth quarter, Netflix had more than 33 million total streaming subscribers, with 27.15 million in the U.S.
Still, while new, original shows have helped give Netflix a boost in the eyes of many investors and analysts, not all are sold on the company's content moves. Richard Tullo, of Albert Fried & Co., said Monday that losing out on the Sony content to Starz might prove to be critical when it comes to keeping customers from canceling their Netflix subscriptions.
"We think these rights are critical for Netflix, as with the rights, Netflix would have access to roughly 40%, of the top 100 motion pictures," Tullo said. " We think they needed these rights to limit [subscriber] churn and grow streaming subscribers and offset the losses we expect from declining DVD subscriptions."

Viewers and advertisers are still second-guessing Seven Sharp, Television New Zealand's new daily current affairs show "with plenty of laughs".
TVNZ announced this week that established presenters Alison Mau and Greg Boyed and TV3 Seven Days writer-comic Jesse Mulligan will front the show, which replaces CloseUp.
"Seven Sharp will reflect the day's events with smart thinking, different viewpoints, and plenty of laughs along the way," said TVNZ head of news and current affairs Ross Dagan.
The broadcaster refuses to say when the show will be launched, though TV3 expects it will be after the launch of CampbellLive on January 21.
CloseUp sponsor, car company Kia Motors, is expected to announce tomorrow it has extended its sponsorship to Seven Sharp in 2013. Mazda is repeating its sponsorship of CampbellLive.
Advertising consultant Martin Gillman said agencies are still second-guessing key elements - in particular the split between current affairs content and laughs.
Mr Gillman liked the idea of Seven Sharp being a satirical, witty programme, but questioned if that was the case whether that would draw the mass audience needed at 7pm. Adman David Walden said the lack of detail was surprising.
Mr Dagan defended the secrecy, saying the show and its format would be judged when it went to air.
Content would not to be a continuation of stories of One News which were best covered in the news hour, he said.
Seven Sharp would have a "conversational tone" similar to the Holmes Show, and its focus would be on current affairs and would include interviews.
Mr Gillman praised TVNZ for a "bold and risky step" breaking away from the traditional current affairs format of predecessors CloseUp and the Holmes Show, and CampbellLive.
The launch marked a pivotal point for New Zealand television because the 7pm timeslot was so important to advertisers, with the 6pm-7.30 news segment providing a stable base of audiences to place advertisers' money.
The question is whether Seven Sharp can take viewers away from the TV3 show.
Most in the advertising industry believe TV One had to change at 7pm, but some questions remain about whether TVNZ should have abandoned CloseUp to establish a new brand.
Mr Dagan's counterpart at TV3, Mark Jennings, was predictably dismissive, saying Seven Sharp will be "CloseUp with a few laughs".
CampbellLive had a strong year editorially in 2012. Mr Jennings said that over the years it had held its audience where it would have liked to see growth. He questioned whether humour or "quirkiness" would be good for ratings. TV3 had used quirky presenters like Jaquie Brown and David Farrier. "We found the audience at 7pm found quirkiness good to watch - but it was not compelling and did not pull people to a programme".
It was hard to hold together a three-headed show. "Greg Boyed is naturally quirky [and] holding up the success of Seven Sharp will depend on his performance."

(flutamide) Capsules
Hepatic Injury
There have been postmarketing reports of hospitalization and rarely death due to liver failure in patients taking flutamide. Evidence of hepatic injury included elevated serum transaminase levels, jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, and death related to acute hepatic failure. The hepatic injury was reversible after discontinuation of therapy in some patients. Approximately half of the reported cases occurred within the initial 3 months of treatment with flutamide.
Serum transaminase levels should be measured prior to starting treatment with flutamide. Flutamide is not recommended in patients whose ALT values exceed twice the upper limit of normal. Serum transaminase levels should then be measured monthly for the first 4 months of therapy, and periodically thereafter. Liver function tests also should be obtained at the first signs and symptoms suggestive of liver dysfunction, eg, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, anorexia, "flu-like" symptoms, hyperbilirubinuria, jaundice, or right upper quadrant tenderness. If at any time a patient has jaundice, or their ALT rises above 2 times the upper limit of normal, flutamide should be immediately discontinued with close follow-up of liver function tests until resolution.
EULEXIN Capsules contain flutamide, an acetanilid, nonsteroidal, orally active anti-androgen having the chemical name, 2-methyl-N-[4-nitro-3 (trifluoromethyl) phenyl] propanamide.
Each capsule contains 125 mg flutamide. The compound is a buff to yellow powder with a molecular weight of 276.2 and the following structual formula:
The inactive ingredients for EULEXIN (flutamide) Capsules include: corn starch, lactose, magnesium stearate, povidone, and sodium lauryl sulfate. Gelatin capsule shells may contain methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and the following dye systems: FD&C Blue 1, FD&C Yellow 6, and either FD&C Red 3 or FD&C Red 40 plus D&C Yellow 10, with titanium dioxide and other inactive ingredients.
What are the possible side effects of flutamide (Eulexin)?
Stop taking flutamide and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives).
In rare cases, flutamide has caused severe liver damage resulting in death or hospitalization. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, "flu-like" symptoms, yellow skin or eyes, itching, clay-colored stools, or dark urine. These symptoms may be early signs of liver damage.

When I first met Shauna James Ahern last spring, she was in New York City to promote the book she wrote with her husband, Daniel, and she had gathered a group of fans and fellow food bloggers for a stroll through the Union Square Greenmarket. As I walked up to Shauna, (she has a hard-to-miss beaming presence), I realized that she, Daniel and their two year old, Lu, were literally swarmed by fans. Shauna, or Gluten-Free Girl as she's known to her adoring followers, is a star.
When her book came out last fall, I thought she'd be a great subject for a Kitchen Tour, and since we're covering gluten-free cooking this week, it is Shauna's positive-energy-filled kitchen that I feature today.
When you meet Shauna, it is not the burden of having celiac that comes through — quite the opposite. It is her relentless upbeat attitude that seems to guide her through her days. She writes and cooks beautifully, informed of course by her need to avoid gluten, but without it feeling burdensome. In fact, Shauna says that the what influences her cooking most is what is in season.
"Living on a rural island has made our food much more humble and better, I believe. We have a few farm stands on the island that we visit often. There's never anyone there. We just put our money into the coffee can. I never thought kale could be so exciting!"
Shauna and her family live in a rented house on Seattle's Vashon Island. "It feels so much like home that we forget it's not ours," Shauna says. Their last kitchen was a long, dark galley. "It looked a Rembrandt painting all the time," she explains, "all that pale northern light barely seeping in. This one is still darker than I want it (I dream of a big white kitchen with skylights), but it's much bigger."
The family recently put in a huge effort to organize the room, and now Shauna feels like it's so much easier to cook there. "Our kitchens together have always been a bit of a happy chaos. Now, we're just happy."
"I love that everything in our kitchen has a place now. Those are just the utensils need for baking projects. And Danny finally let us buy hot pads! (Like any good chef, he just wanted bar towels. They live in the baking drawer for me now.)"
Back to Shauna's fantasy of the perfect kitchen. Like most of us, she would love more light. "I just live for light," she says, "and since we spend most of our time in the kitchen — especially because it opens into the dining room and living room, so it's one big space — I'd love more light." The big bay window is the only window in the kitchen, so they gravitate toward it.
These open shelves were where the cookbooks used to live, but Shauna says it felt too heavy. "We took them down and put up pretty things, but that felt like a waste of space. So now, we have all our plates, saucers, bowls, glasses, and cups up there. This encouraged us to let go of all but eight of each thing. We have a lot fewer dishes to do now!"
Shauna and Daniel do love their cookbooks. Here are all the books (both cookbooks and memoir) written by people they know. "Five years ago I was a high school teacher. I never had any idea I would call David Lebovitz my friend, or that Dorie Greenspan would hug me at a food blogging conference, or even that I'd be in the same room as Amanda Hesser. So, as useful as these book are — and we pull one down every day — it's also a reminder of how extraordinary these past few years have been for us both."
Biggest downer? Their side-by-side stainless steel refrigerator: "We can't stand it! It looks big but there is really no space inside. The fridge feels cramped immediately." Shauna brightens it up with a photo of their daughter, Lu, eating strawberries for the first time.
I asked Shauna what makes a well-stocked gluten-free kitchen. Not surprisingly, she says it's mostly the essential ingredients for any kitchen: good beans, oils, vinegars, rice, fruits and nuts, salts, peppers, and lots of of spices. The Aherns especially love whole grains, so they have an entire drawer filled with containers of millet, quinoa, teff, red quinoa, wild rice, black rice; all gluten-free. Her baking cupboard — and don't think for a second that a gluten-free person needs to deprive themselves of baked goods — is stocked with at least ten different flours at all times.
Friends Anita and Cameron (of MarriedWithDinner.com) were the masterminds behind the recent organization effort, and insisted that they buy several lazy Susans to make "mise en place stations." "We found lovely glass bottles for all the oils and used the label maker. We keep them close at hand to the stove (but not so close that they grow hot) and can cook immediately."
"I love to play. The more the variety of foods, the more interesting the meals will be. We're really interested in this right now -- how to create a great pantry and cook from it. We're learning that we save a lot of money if we keep our pantry stocked instead of going to the store every day."
When I asked if there are any tools or equpiment that makes cooking without gluten easier, Shauna said that a kitchen scale is essential, since all the different gluten-free flours have different weights. "If you try to convert a regular gluten recipe with cups, it may not work. If you work with grams, it works every time" She also uses her KitchenAid stand mixer a lot. "I love that machine. I've had the same one since 1995 and (knock on wood) it shows no signs of going out yet."
Where does the Grande Dame of gluten-free living shop? "We love restaurant supply stores for cooks' tools. The equipment is solid and without flash and thus far less expensive. It's meant to last. Ingredients? We love our local seafood market, a good butcher that sells local meat, Pike Place Market, our farmstands and garden, Chef Shop, Anson Mills, Rancho Gordo, and any farmers' market we can find."

A few samples:
The irony is that the CBO's guesstimate exposes the fraudulence and fiscal sleight-of-hand underlying this whole exercise. Anyone who reads beyond the top-line numbers will find that the bill creates massive new spending commitments that will inevitably explode over time, and that this is "paid for" with huge tax increases plus phantom spending cuts that will never happen in practice.
Washington spent the week waiting for the Congressional Budget Office to roll in with its new cost estimates of the Senate health-care bill, and what a carnival. Behold: a new $829 billion entitlement that will subsidize insurance for tens of millions of peopleand reduce deficits by $81 billion at the same time. In the next tent, see the mermaid and a two-headed cow.
Then there are the many budget gimmicks. Take the "failsafe budgeting mechanism" that would require automatic cuts in exchange spending if it increases the deficit. CBO expects 15% reductions in exchange subsidies each year from 2015 to 2018, even though the exchanges don't open until 2014. That kind of re-gifting should have been laughed out of the committee room, but the ruse helps to move future spending off the current budget "score."
Meanwhile, the bill piles on new taxes, albeit on health-care businesses so the costs are hidden from customers. Insurance companies offering policies that cost more than $8,000 for individuals and $21,000 for families will pay $201 billion per a 40% excise tax, which will be passed down to all policy holders in higher premiums. Another $180 billion will hit the likes of drug and device makers, including $29 billion because companies won't be allowed to deduct these "fees" from their corporate income taxes. Then there's the $4 billion in penalty payments on those who don't buy insurance because all of ObamaCare's other new taxes and mandates have made it more expensive.

This Anti-TarBomb function makes it easy to unpack a .tar.gz without worrying about the possibility that it will "explode" in your current directory. I've usually always created a temporary folder in which I extracted the tarball first, but I got tired of having to reorganize the files afterwards. Just add this function to your .zshrc / .bashrc and use it like this;
atb arch1.tar.gz
and it will create a folder for the extracted files, if they aren't already in a single folder.
This only works for .tar.gz, but it's very easy to edit the function to suit your needs, if you want to extract .tgz, .tar.bz2 or just .tar.
More info about tarbombs at http://www.linfo.org/tarbomb.html
Tested in zsh and bash.
UPDATE: This function works for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .tbz and .tar in zsh (not working in bash):
atb() { l=$(tar tf $1); if [ $(echo "$l" | wc -l) -eq $(echo "$l" | grep $(echo "$l" | head -n1) | wc -l) ]; then tar xf $1; else mkdir ${1%.t(ar.gz||ar.bz2||gz||bz||ar)} && tar xf $1 -C ${1%.t(ar.gz||ar.bz2||gz||bz||ar)}; fi ;}
UPDATE2: From the comments; bepaald came with a variant that works for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .tbz and .tar in bash:
atb() {shopt -s extglob ; l=$(tar tf $1); if [ $(echo "$l" | wc -l) -eq $(echo "$l" | grep $(echo "$l" | head -n1) | wc -l) ]; then tar xf $1; else mkdir ${1%.t@(ar.gz|ar.bz2|gz|bz|ar)} && tar xf $1 -C ${1%.t@(ar.gz|ar.bz2|gz|bz|ar)}; fi ; shopt -u extglob}
command was too long...
this is the complete command:
fname=$1; f=$( ls -la $fname ); if [ -n "$f" ]; then fsz=$( echo $f | awk '{ print $5 }' ); if [ "$fsz" -ne "0" ]; then nrrec=$( wc -l $fname | awk '{ print $1 }' ); recsz=$( expr $fsz / $nrrec ); echo "$recsz"; else echo "0"; fi else echo "file $fname does not exist" >&2; fi
First the input is stored in var $fname
The file is checked for existance using "ls -lart".
If the output of "ls -lart" is empty, the error message is given on stderr
Otherwise the filelength is taken from the output of "ls -lart" (5th field)
With "wc -l" the number of records (or lines) is taken.
The record size is filelength devided by the number of records.
please note: this method does not take into account any headers, variable length records and only works on ascii files where the records are sperated by 0x0A (or 0x0A/0x0D on MS-DOS/Windows).
Suppose you have 11 marbles, 4 of which are red, the rest being blue. The marbles are indistinguishable, apart from colour. How many different ways are there to arrange the marbles in a line? And how many ways are there to arrange them so that no two red marbles are adjacent?
There are simple mathematical solutions to these questions, but it's also possible to generate and count all possibilities directly on the command line, using little more than brace expansion, grep and wc!
The answer to the question posed above is that there are 330 ways of arranging the marbles in a line, 70 of which have no two red marbles adjacent. See the sample output.
To follow the call to marbles 11 4: after c=''; for i in $(seq $1); do c+='{b,r}'; done;, $c equals {b,r}{b,r}{b,r}{b,r}{b,r}{b,r}{b,r}{b,r}{b,r}{b,r}{b,r}
After x=$(eval echo $c), and brace expansion, $x equals bbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbr ... rrrrrrrrrrb rrrrrrrrrrr, which is all 2^11 = 2048 strings of 11 b's and r's.
After p=''; for i in $(seq $2); do p+='b*r'; done;, $p equals b*rb*rb*rb*r
Next, after y=$(grep -wo "${p}b*"
Finally, grep -vc 'rr'
Great idea camocrazed. Another twist would be to display a different man page based on the day of the year. The following will continuously cycle through all man pages:
man $(ls /bin | sed -n $(($(date +%j) % $(ls /bin | wc -l)))p)
Of course, the httpd can be replaced with any other process name
There once was a day I needed this info.
Thanks to flatcap for optimizing this command.
This command takes advantage of the ext4 filesystem's resistance to fragmentation.
By using this command, files that were previously fragmented will be copied / deleted / pasted essentially giving the filesystem another chance at saving the file contiguously. ( unlike FAT / NTFS, the *nix filesystem always try to save a file without fragmenting it )
My command only effects the home directory and only those files with your R/W (read / write ) permissions.
There are two issues with this command:
1. it really won't help, it works, but linux doesn't suffer much (if any ) fragmentation and even fragmented files have fast I/O
2. it doesn't discriminate between fragmented and non-fragmented files, so a large ~/ directory with no fragments will take almost as long as an equally sized fragmented ~/ directory
The benefits i managed to work into the command:
1. it only defragments files under 16mb, because a large file with fragments isn't as noticeable as a small file that's fragmented, and copy/ delete/ paste of large files would take too long
2. it gives a nice countdown in the terminal so you know how far how much progress is being made and just like other defragmenters you can stop at any time ( use ctrl+c )
3. fast! i can defrag my ~/ directory in 11 seconds thanks to the ramdrive powering the command's temporary storage
bottom line:
1. its only an experiment, safe ( i've used it several times for testing ), but probably not very effective ( unless you somehow have a fragmentation problem on linux ). might be a placebo for recent windows converts looking for a defrag utility on linux and won't accept no for an answer
2. it's my first commandlinefu command
