I noticed when running your tool that it did not copy the minidump but at the time I thought maybe it was renaming it to something else. It appeared to be a bug in the collection script EXE. But anyway I have attached the dump now. Thanks!

Hello Son-Rise,
We are going to begin a AIT session for our son Enrique, and we're wondering what sort of reactions to expect from it afterwards?
W have heard via the grape vine that some children who do it can become very irritable or have messed up digestive tracts or sleep patterns change... We aren't exactly afraid of what is going to happen just curious about what to expect.
The program he is doing is 20 sessions of 1/2 hr alotments. So it is going to be a lot on him at one time and there is bound to be some reaction!!!
Any help would be great.....

Wanted to share this brief presentation as a superb example of how effective, simple design can be used to tell a story. In less than three minutes, the primary findings on a research study on the source of individual power are wonderfully illustrated.
Think how effective this communication method is compared to simply reading a blog article on what could have been a very dry subject. What are your thoughts on this presentation?
Thanks for sharing this! It emphasizes how clarity and strong writing and editing can make a point in a few moments. I noted with interest that, while simple, the video doesn't feel condescending.
(And of course I must note the use of the cellphone as a visual proxy for agency, a difficult concept to visualize.)
It's excellent. As the content marketing space develops companies are going to have to embrace a variety of content forms like this. Variety is important.
Obviously, not everyone is going to make something as slick. But I think b2b bloggers who are prepared to learn to use a variety of tools are going to succeed in winning the battle for attention.
@Lisa — I agree about the depiction of agency. Very clever.
@Jon — The ability to put soemthing like this together could be a competitive advantage. but of course it will get down to cost/benefit.
Pingback: uberVU - social comments
It's funny, too. Always a plus. This wasn't exactly quick and easy to produce, though. But I agree that effective content will increasingly offer a competitive advantage. (In fact, I'm in the midst of a blog post on the topic.) Another thing I like about this one is that the video isn't too long.

Moss Plastic Parts launches new Hydraulic CataloguePublished Date: (04/03/2009)
Share this page with:
Moss Plastic Parts has introduced over 300 new products into its latest Hydraulic & Pneumatic Protection Catalogue, consolidating its position as Europe's leading supplier of caps, plugs and hose protection products.
The catalogue sees the introduction of over 20 new stocked ranges, including Fire Protection Sleeving, O-Rings, Bonded Seals and Hose-Clamps. According to Managing Director Matthew Taylor "Not only have we introduced some great new products, but by diversifying our product offering Moss is now better placed to service a wider range of customer requirements within the fluid power industry".
The new Hose Protector range is a unique product in the European market. The PVC shield provides cost-effective point-of-contact protection where hoses or cables are exposed to wear or are likely to rub, eliminating the need for full protective sleeving or guard.
Another new addition – Moss' range of Fire Protection Sleeving – brings a unique quality product to the market. The products safeguard against flame, direct heat and liquid metal splashes. Unlike equivalent competing products, Moss' Fire Protection Sleeving is manufactured using a high-performance calcium silicate yarn, which offers better fire protection properties and none of the handling risks associated with glass fibre products.
The new Caps and Plugs range features design improvements on existing products. Anti-Vibration Plugs have been specifically developed for BSP hydraulic fittings with a special notched thread to prevent them rattling loose. The large pull tab on the ranges of EVA pull-tab caps allows easier removal, and the HDPE threaded sealing caps feature a unique Nitrile disk, providing a seal at low pressures.
All products from Moss are in stock and ready for next day delivery. Please call us on 01865 844572 to request samples and quotations.

Sister Monicah Kgalalelo Kgabuki of Botswana
by Sr Mary Ann Strain, C.P.
Sister Monicah Kgalalelo Kgabuki, a Passionist novice from Botswana, a southern African country north of South Africa, traveled to Argentina this summer for a gathering of new members of the Sisters of the Cross and Passion from around the world. For two weeks, young Passionist sisters from North and South America, Europe and Africa, lived, worked, prayed and played together, forging bonds they hope will last a lifetime.
For Sister Monicah the experience was particularly valuable. In Botswana, the Passionist Sisters were able to accept women from Botswana into the community only recently, because of the political situation, and Sister Monicah and Sister Botshela Ntshue are the only young people in an older community.
"To see other young people struggling like you somehow helps. I'm encouraged to continue in this way of life and my vocation is strengthened."

Have you been apple picking this season yet? I haven't, but tentative plans to go have inspired me to make applesauce. And if you're going to have applesauce, you'd better make some latkes to go with it. I recently tried out an Autumn Latke recipe with beets, sweet potatoes and carrots that you should probably know about.
The Autumn Latke recipe comes from Vegonomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz of Post Punk Kitchen and Terry Hope Romero. If you are getting just one vegan cookbook, let it be this one – seriously unbelievably good.
Cooking with beets is a messy, beautiful thing. To make these latkes, the beets, sweet potatoes, and carrots are all shredded and combined with scallions, corn meal, and flour to make the patties that are then fried in olive oil.
The recipe calls for two cups beets, one cup sweet potatoes, and one cup carrots but when I make them again I will probably use more sweet potatoes than beets and carrots. I haven't tried them that way, but Bianca over at Vegan Crunk did and look how well they turned out!
Sadly this particular exact recipe isn't available online, but a similar recipe is offered by Isa on the Post Punk Kitchen for Potato Latkes.
To make the applesauce I peeled and diced four apples, dashed in some cinnamon and nutmeg and covered to cook for about 15 minutes. Mash those babies up and call it a day. The apples I used were moist enough that I didn't add water, though some recipes call for it. Also sugar. And a lot of other things. I kept it simple and it came out wonderfully.
What is your favorite dipping sauce to have with latkes?

GNL opener at
West Valley Friday
Colville High (2-1) turned a 12-0 halftime deficit into a 24-20 non-league football win over Timberlake last Friday night in front of the home fans.
The game marked the second in three outings that the Indians have overcome 12-0 halftime deficits with solid second halves. The Indians fell behind by two touchdowns to Freeman two weeks ago in the WIAA Grid Classic at Eastern Washington University before scoring 20 third quarter points and edging the Scotties for the second time in two seasons.
Indians face WV, Reardan & Colfax
Colville High had no problem dispatching a relatively weak Cheney High volleyball team in the IndiansŌĆÖ first Great Northern League match-up since returning to the 2A league.
Colville eased past the Blackhawks, 25-8, 25-11, 25-19 behind Joellee BucknerŌĆÖs 11 kills and seven ace serves. Setter Leanna Carr added 28 assists and Carr and Sadie Learn both had five digs.
It was the only action of the week for the Indians, who visited Deer Park on Tuesday and will return home Thursday against West Valley (7 p.m.).
Soccer team gets DP, West Valley
A young Colville High School girlŌĆÖs soccer team faces a busy week with Great Northern League match-ups against Deer Park on Tuesday and West Valley at home on Thursday. Both matches are scheduled for 4 p.m. starts.
The Indians (2-2) are coming off a 7-0 thrashing at the hands of GNL powerhouse Cheney last Thursday on the Colville pitch.
In that match, Colville simply got very few scoring opportunities against the Blackhawks.
Indians dominate Lakeland Invite
Colville HighŌĆÖs defending 1A volleyball champions dominated last SaturdayŌĆÖs high-powered Lakeland Invitational (Rathdrum, Idaho) volleyball tournament. It was ColvilleŌĆÖs second straight Lakeland Invitational title.
Cougars get an
elusive win over Indians
The Chewelah Cougars played the Colville Indians last Friday in the annual 395 showdown in Colville. The Cougars broke a recent string of losses to the Indians on this evening, coming away with an impressive 45-21 victory.
Turnovers in an opening game loss to Deer Park were costly to the Cougars, but on this night, Chewelah kept ahold of the ball and turned three Colville turnovers into key scoring drives.
Indians move up to GNL
S-E Sports Editor
Colville High lost some key components off last NovemberŌĆÖs Class 1A state runner-up team, but the Indians certainly have enough left in the tank to make for an interesting reintroduction into the Class 2A Great Northern League.
The Indians will be led by third year varsity standout Kevin Carpenter. The junior finished eighth and got a spot on the podium at last NovemberŌĆÖs State 1A meet at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.
One of strongest-ever CHS teams
If Colville High were slotted where it belonged, back in the Northeast A League, the Indians would certainly be favorites to successfully defend the 1A championship they won last November in Yakima.
That said, the Indians, who return to the Class 2A Great Northern League this fall for a two-season run, will be a force to contend with in their old league. Under longtime coach Missy Bennett, entering her 27th season at the helm, Colville was always a power in the GNL.
Jeremiah Johnson leads Mustangs
Northport turned a few heads when they finished third in the Northeast 1B North division after being picked to finish in the basement of what, historically, has been the toughest eight-man football conference in Washington state.
Replicating that 6-5 record and the first playoff appearance by a Northport football team in the so-called ŌĆ£modern eraŌĆØ could be a difficult task in 2012. But veteran coach Don Fox, assisted once again by his son, Shane, has some solid holdover talent back.
If NHS can stay healthyŌĆ"
Football journey nears an end for Kegel
It has been an interesting ride for this ministerŌĆÖs son and former small town and small college football star to the cusp of parenthood and the wild vagaries of European professional football.
And no, we are not talking about the other futbol.
So it goes for one of the best all-around athletes and football players to ever snap on a chin-strap for Columbia High School (Hunters).
WIAA ŌĆśClassicŌĆÖ moves east
Colville High will get its 2012 football season underway in a different fashion on Saturday.
The Indians, who will move up to Class 2A this fall and return to the Great Northern League for the two-year WIAA reclassification cycle, will open the season on Saturday, Sept. 1 against Freeman in the so-called WIAA Kickoff Classic at Eastern Washington University.
ItŌĆÖs the first time in memory that a CHS football game has started the season on a Saturday afternoon.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Center D.J. Haley has joined Southern California's basketball team and will have one year of eligibility with the Trojans.
New coach Andy Enfield said Friday that he expects Haley to be a valuable contributor in the senior's return to his home state.
Haley graduated from VCU this summer with a degree in mechanical engineering.
The 7-foot, 250-pounder started four of 29 games for VCU last season, averaging 1.9 points and 1.9 rebounds. He was second on the team with 18 blocked shots.

I'm going for an MRI soon but my ortho thinks it's a torn ligament. It's not horrible, but making a fist with my thumb inside and bending my wrist inwards (pinky to wrist) hurts like a motherfcker.
I was trying to think of exercises that wouldn't irritate it further. Legs won't be a problem but I was looking to do a few other body parts as well. Anyone have experience with this or should I just let it rest?

The humble incandescent light bulb became a symbol in recent years of overreaching federal government.
Today, Jan. 1, a federal law was supposed to take effect that would essentially begin phasing out traditional incandescent bulbs in favor of more energy-efficient -- but more expensive -- fluorescent bulbs.
We're completely in favor of people being able to buy the costlier bulbs if they wish, but it plainly wasn't federal business to mandate that.
Fortunately, recent legislation passed by Congress to pay for the continued functions of the federal government included a provision that postpones until at least October the imposition of the new light bulb rules.
That is a small victory for freedom and personal choice and a small defeat for big government.
Where are these same folks upset over the light bulb replacement, which is a true energy saving rule, when it comes to ethanol? If they're upset over the light bulb, they should be marching in the streets to protest this ridiculous law dictating that we convert our food farmlands into energy inefficient ethanol and shoot the price of food through the ceiling. The light bulb smoke-screen is another right-wing attempt to distract us away from real issues like ethanol.
It should never have gotten this far.I recently found and purchased 14w cfls at Home Depot for a mere 50cent a piece( 4pack for 1.97$). With the cost of electricity, they will easily pay for themselves. But this should be MY choice and not a dictate from an all powerful federal government. This was Socialist thinking and should be a wakeup call to the control they want.
Here's the reason why it's not going to be allowed to engage in interstate commerce for inefficient bulbs.
Because the electricity consumers buy is produced in ways that impact others who did not get to make a choice. As long as electricity comes from coal power plants, it will be poisoning the air for others.
It's the same reason a company can't produce a car without emission controls, or that doesn't meet mileage standards. Or safety standards. And this is not just a national problem, but an international one. Other countries are concerned about what we're doing to their air, just as we are concerned about what they're doing to ours. That's right, this isn't just the federal government acting on its own, but a result of a diplomatic discussion among a host of nations.
How else would you have that problem be solved? War? Phase-out of all fossil fuel power plants? Much as I might consider those solutions desirable, for various reasons they aren't preferable.
But they aren't stopping you from buying the bulbs, just the bulbs from being sold if they don't meet the efficiency targets. Why did they set an efficiency target? Because of the impact of the pollution from power production. Don't like that? Then give us a better price to switch over electrical production to something far cleaner.
And no, opinion-writer, a CFL or LED is not costlier than an incandescent bulb. Don't believe me? Try buying all the incandescent replacements you'd need at once, AND the electricity.
There's a reason why they print a savings indicator on the efficient bulbs...because it is true. And that's not including the reduced costs of pollution which is imposed on others.
I certainly hope the libertarians among us don't believe that outright fraud should be allowed in advertising.
I use a lot of the new bulbs, but, happy, were they over-advertized? They last forever--unless you turn them on and off. The first one I bought was less bright than the incandescents whose brightness it was supposed to equal (I think they've fixed that.)
And efficiency isn't the only consideration. My son has a good throwing arm; I might want to use something that doesn't threaten mercury contamination. A spiral won't support a lampshade, and is too big for some fixtures.
Government's job is to terrorize evildoers so the rest of us can peacefully do whatever goods we choose. Who are those guys to pick our light bulbs for us? (Or starve people to save the world with ethanol subsidies.) Jesus is libertarian.
I've never had a problem with rapid switching, if anything you're going to wear out the switch sooner. And so you bought some dim bulbs...that has happened to me with incandescent bulbs too. It's why I make sure to keep my receipts till I've tried the bulb and been sure it's appropriate for the task.
If you're worried about your son breaking bulbs, you should worry more about the glass injury than the mercury. Which is a problem regardless. I'd suggest several options ranging from the impact-resistance plastic to rough-service bulbs, (which are one of those exemptions provided for with the law, in case you didn't know) depending on your circumstances. Not that they aren't engaged in reducing the mercury content, because well, they are. And unless you break the bulbs all day, you're still going to benefit though, since the pollution reduction covers it quite adequately, and not just mercury, but other hazards in coal production. Also, if you haven't noticed, they do make the CFL's and LED's in such a bulb-type formfactor, so if you really want to use a clip-style holder, you can easily with one of them. I wouldn't suggest that style of shade anyway, I've found that they come off when the light tips over and that has a fire risk to it, so you'd really want to avoid the hotter incandescent bulbs with them.
As for the government? Sometimes it's better to not terrorize people, but instead to just keep them from doing evil in the first place. Especially when it's not necessarily conscious evil, but simply inadvertent harm. I do believe Jesus preferred methods other than the scourge.
Also, they're the people we elected into office. Who consulted with engineers, accountants, and other scientists before acting, and compiled quite a few reports on the subject. If you wanted to testify about it to them, there were some public comment periods. If you simply disagree with the form of the government in place, then I suggest taking up that discussion in a forum dedicated to that broader subject.
I am not averse to reform, but it'd a much more involved discussion than would belong here.

[Why I answer your sub-juvenelia, I have no idea]
The word was "master" you change it to "leader". There are millions of born leaders. Most of the ways they could lead have been made illegal by our MASTERS. These masters are empowered by an increasingly infantile mob. Your little schematic here is imbecilic.

"But then isn't any retaliatory use of force too coercive? "
Yes, you are right, "coercive" should be a danger signal, but it's not by itself a condemnation; that's why I added "aggressive".
"And what does one do when one of the parties remains intransigent and refuses to agree to a solution though he may be in the wrong? What is the victim to do?"
Ultimately, the victim (or their protection agency) may have to fight. I'm not denying that. All I'm saying is that fighting does not solve a conflict. The conflict is the fact that you disagree with your neighbor; if he thinks he is in the right, he won't change his mind after being defeated or coerced. When you decide to fight, you are not picking a solution to the conflict, you are either accepting the fact that you can't solve it, or deciding your neighbor is lying and there's no real conflict (he doesn't really believe he has those rights).
I'll tell you my account of what anarchy is by comparison with other political systems.
Every society realizes that some coexistence rules are necessary. Monarchists will argue about who is to make them; democrats will argue about how to make them (direct democracy) or how to decide who is to make them (republic); anarchists will argue about the rules themselves. Anarchists don't believe the rule-making should be delegated, and they see a genuine problem whenever the rules are left behind by the facts. They will pick the most durable, universal, timeless rules they can think of. Since they believe the key point of agreement should be the law and not the law maker, anarchy may well be the closest to the "rule of law".
"The real problem is that they follow the corrupt altruist moral code. Michael Moore is a prime example of that. "
Altruist? You must be speaking jargon. See this Michael Moore quote:
"I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire. I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do."
Ayn Rand would be proud, right? :p

To say that defending oneself from a criminal should or even could be called "coercing" the criminal: this is an abuse of the English language.
- September 27, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Martin OB,
While I do not disagree that discussing the rules governing dispute settlement is very important, my problem is with the objectives you have set for these processes. In your previous post, you said
" Fine, maybe the government is not intrinsically "evil" (whatever that means), but it *is* intrinsically coercive, furthermore, intrinsically aggressive, and perfectly useless in the advancement of social peace. That's because, as I said, social peace comes from the elimination of social conflict, and social conflict is only eliminated when the conflicting parties agree to a solution. "
You have implied here that "social peace" is what you seek to advance. This objective, to me, does not sound appropriate. I would be far more comfortable with the word "justice". Without justice, specifically a widespread belief that justice is possible in a given society, social peace is impossible and may even be undesirable. Of what value to man is peace without a possibility of justice?
My point is that "justice" may at some stage require "coercion" and even "aggression" (By this, I mean the agent of the aggrieved party initiating force against the offender. I am calling this "aggression" since the offender never initiated force against the agent.). Without this "coercion" or "aggression", justice would become impossible and meaningless. Hence, to use ideas such as the undesirability of "aggression" to dismiss the agency that dispenses "justice" may turn out to be dismissing the very notion or the possibility of "justice". I am not prepared to do that.
Continuing on your point about the difference between others and Anarchists, we Objectivists add that "justice" per se is a better objective than social peace which, as I have said earlier, is a by-product of and impossible without justice.
On Michael Moore, his movies talk for him far more than his quotes do. In any case, Ayn Rand would keep rotating forever in her grave if I said that she would be proud of Michael Moore because of 1 statement of his.
" To say that defending oneself from a criminal should or even could be called "coercing" the criminal: this is an abuse of the English language. "
I am here not talking of defending oneself when a criminal act is being performed but of an agent of the victim exercising retaliatory force against the accused. From the perspective of the accused, it would be seen as coercion. I fail to see how else he would see it. For instance, if you have to return stolen property, you have to physically take it away from the thief or prevent (by exerting physical force) the thief from preventing the original owner from taking it away. I am unable to understand how the accused would not see this as coercive or how you fail to see this as coercive.

" The idea that we must live under the State unless we can prove that it is inherently evil is a pretty ridiculous false dilemma "
I presume this was directed at me. So I will address this myself.
When I said that the inherent evil nature of the State is not proven, I am not saying "Let us live under the State until it is proven that it is evil."
Rather, I am saying that by blaming the unacceptable violations of Liberty by States past and present on their "nature", we may be missing the point completely and end up barking up the wrong tree.
You could end up with a "non-State" society and be in a much worse problem if you failed to tackle the causes that actually made the State "evil".
It is in that sense that I have identified and continue to identify the "Altruist Morality" as our biggest enemy. That is why I believe the real batlle for Liberty will start with rooting out this vile morality from the minds of a substantial proportion of the human population. The idea is not to "emancipate" this section of the population but to "emancipate" ourselves (free men) from their tyranny by bringing them to our way.

Nothing "causes" the State to be evil, it is born from and *lives* by evil. Where it grows you will know that it is using the cover of its supposed justification to hide the fact that it is actually (its members wittingly or not, or both) propagating crime.
Ayn Rand misidentified the roots of evil because, judging by your pitch, she was a very minor thinker. This idea you keep trying to sell is laughably juvenile. Only one who can't grow up would remain attached to it: essentially that all is permitted as long as one convinces oneself that he is purely motivated by self interest and enlightened reason. For herself, she apparently bought all the Commie propaganda rammed down her throat and was just smart enough to see what a disaster it turned out to be. If charity and programs of official brotherly love are going sour, don't blame charity and brotherly love; realize that the charity (and always State charity: coerced charity) is a cover for, as an actual thinker, Burke put it, "all the train of disorderly appetites…pride, ambition, avarice, revenge, lust, sedition, hypocrisy, ungoverned zeal…" (to which I would add envy, a biggie). These passions when unchecked (or when they may be satisfied under the cover of civic mindedness) lead to crime. Crime is the justification for the State, but State power is not diminished when it fails to curb crime, it is *aggrandized*. This is correct in theory, is obvious to those who will see and is backed up by all of history.

Yes, mpolz – strength and action gets results. Weakness and bland acceptance means you'll keep getting pushed around by those who are stronger than you. Mexican Drugs Lords show what can be done to threaten a government. They have the capacity to threaten governments because they are strong. There's no other way. Hoping all the evil in life will dissipate one night because you want it so is the height of disengenuousness.
- September 27, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Gilbert Khan,
Calling that a straw man would be giving you too much credit. Why not just let me do your posts for you from now on. Here goes:
"Strength good, weakness bad. Me like strength, me good. You don't, you weak. Me worship kicking butt through strength, me in the know, you wish bad go away by self, you stupid."
This is all I've ever gotten out of reading your sub-mental posts. This last one was the last one I read (I swear this time). Goodbye, Gil.

* as for, she apparently bought…
On second thought: yes Bala, I have seen the light. Yes, I see now, the world has been overcome by so many people with the overwhelming desire to help and care for each other. How could I not see it?!? If this madness is not stopped, I don't know what further horrors we will be subjected to. You have convinced me, now for Rand's sake, focus all your energies on saving anyone but me from wallowing in or succumbing to this disgusting pandemic of feelings of universal brotherly love.
- September 27, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Damn, out of it: "For herself, she apparently bought all the Commie propaganda."
And that would be the Commie propaganda of Eastern Bloc fascists. There are three kinds of people in the world: fascists, non-criminal adults, and children. 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" had a more elegant take: just two kinds, "those with loaded guns and those who dig."
- September 28, 2009 at 12:43 am
Golly mpolz – even the Libertarian concept of 'retaliatory force' is lost on you. I wonder what 'answers' you have – "me believe in everyone's goodness and people need more edumucation to teach them to be nice to one another so I don't get robbed anymore without having to expend any effort"? Or "leave me the hell alone whilst I occupy your land because I believe occupancy is 9/10ths of ownership"? You seem to be good at criticising others but not much more.
- September 28, 2009 at 12:55 am
" On second thought: yes Bala, I have seen the light. Yes, I see now, the world has been overcome by so many people with the overwhelming desire to help and care for each other. How could I not see it?!? "
Actually, it's not surprising you don't see it. That's because no one can ever live by that code and no one does either. What's happening is that people normally do lip-service to the "moral" principles of the altruist code (as preached to them by their religious preachers or texts or their social/political leaders). When it comes to their real life choices, however, they act as per their nature and act extremely selfish.
The problem starts at a different end. While people do not live by the Altruistic moral code on a day-to-day basis, they have not rejected it either, especially its key postulates (like the one that "man is his brother's keeper"). They live a life carrying the guilt of repeatedly breaking the moral code they have accepted. The carry this guilt like a cross and, over a period of time, get convinced that they are sinners or depraved people whose only saviours are their religious/social/political preachers.
Such people who carry guilt thus are ideal sacrificial lambs for the power hungry who seek to use the State machinery to fulfill their own ends at the expense of the very people whose rights they are supposed to protect (being in government).
All it takes is an innocent-sounding question like "Don't tell me you are that selfish!!" (with self-righteous indignation). That's where the cumulative guilt takes its toll. Instead of saying "Damned right you are!!!", the sheep now say "No…. Not really… hum…. haw…" and on come the chains – Newer, better and heavier than any they have been trapped with before.
If you have any doubts, check out these lines Obama is said to have said during his campaign
Obama's speech (extracted)
"The point is, though, that — and it's not just charity, it's not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class — it's that when we actually make sure that everybody's got a shot – when young people can all go to college, when everybody's got decent health care, when everybody's got a little more money at the end of the month
"John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic," Obama continued. "You know I don't know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness."
You know… that was a time John McCain and Sarah Palin should have stood up and said "You want to know when??? Ever since Man evolved on this Earth!! Damn you you maggot… If selfishness is not a virtue, then what is? Your proclaimed selfless spirit to do good for the toiling masses?"
But that was not to be. McCain and Palin did not say it for the obvious reason – that they too have not rejected the Altruist code. But what about the average American?
By keeping quiet at such crucial moments, they give the power-grubbers the ultimate weapon at their disposal – The Sanction of their Victims.
The tyrants of yesteryears had to drag their victims kicking and screaming to the sacrificial altar. No wonder their tyranny never lasted too long. The yoke was thrown off frequently and freedom would bloom again till the next despot managed to take charge. The victims of today, in contrast, go to the sacrificial altar happily, thinking that it is the best thing that could happen to them. They think they are acting by their moral code at last and are grateful to their slave masters for helping them do it.
Such indeed is the mentality of the masses today – the people who praise their chains because that's all they have seen and hence desired. No wonder the State has become such a monster.
I am therefore saying that the only way to kill the evil that is the State is to deprive it of this most potent weapon. When you spread a selfish morality around, they will stop finding willing victims giving their sanction to their own enslavement. They will once again have to start dragging their victims kicking and screaming. When that happens, the mask will drop and the scales will fall from many eyes that have long since stopped seeing.

Bala and Gil,
Keep addressing me if you wish to, but I've determined that you are both bonkers for different reasons and I'm not wasting any more time reading your flights of fancy.
- September 28, 2009 at 8:57 am
Wow! fourth time's the charm: "As for her, she apparently bought all the Commie propaganda."
Trying to run this one up the flag pole one more time, too:
"There are three kinds of people in the world: fascists, non-criminal adults, and children. Sergio Leone had a more elegant take: just two kinds, 'those with loaded guns and those who dig.'"
If even a fraction (perhaps one fifth, maybe far less) of the billions of children in the world grew up and stopped accepting treats and promises from the fascists, those millions would join us in emancipation and we would overwhelm the fascists with sheer numbers (no violence). Then we wouldn't have to work on Maggie's Farm no more. (to say this is not to say that one thinks it will happen or is counting on it)

"To say that defending oneself from a criminal should or even could be called "coercing" the criminal: this is an abuse of the English language."
I'm using Rothbard's (and others') terminology here. I guess you don't complain when physicists define "work" as "force times displacement". Besides, the dictionary.com definition of coercion says:
Coercion (noun):
1) The act of coercing. Use of force or intimidation to obtain compliance.
2) Force or the power to use force in gaining compliance, as by a government or police force.
It does seem to include defensive threats. On the other hand, I concede its negative connotations may be too strong. What do you propose? How about "compulsion"? "Threat of violence" is a bit too long for my taste, and anything qualified with "defensive" is not equivalent (too specific).
- September 28, 2009 at 10:35 am
Same as last time, what I said was pointed more at your interlocutor. It happens to fall on you too because you don't seem to object too much to his wacky language.
Your analogy is not very precise, I'll try one: If a demented propagandist wished to use the physicist's definition of "work": "force times displacement" to equate the activities of an Auschwitz oven operator to my activities feeding patients at the children's hospital: *yes*, I'd complain vigorously.
I don't know if Rothbard abused the word or not, if he did or if all English speakers do, I still have a beef. I like Webster's (with etymology) better than your reference:
"Middle English cohercen, from Anglo-French *cohercer Latin coercÄ"re, from co- + arcÄ"re to shut up, enclose — more at ark Date: 15th century
1 : to restrain or dominate by force
2 : to compel to an act or choice
3 : to achieve by force or threat
Self defense *could* be the first part of 1. or it *could* be 3., *certainly* not 2. All three definitions are iffy and strained, as the receiver of the hypothetical violence is free to do anything else in the world he wishes other than assault the "giver" (?) of the violence. "Giver"(?) I don't know what to call that party because there would be no violence if not for the decisions of the criminal. Now someone may try to say that the state is in the position of this "giver". Bollocks. There are millions upon millions who have never committed assault , theft or fraud that are incessantly harassed by the State. (sorry for the length of this but I'm dealing with some thick-headed folks here. {not you})
It is merely my opinion that "proportional self defense" is not consistent with the origins, connotations or spirit of the word "coercion". I don't have an opinion right now on what you should use instead. I was just bemused by your going along with this dime-store propagandist's loaded terminology.
- September 28, 2009 at 10:43 am
I should add for an imagined enemy hairsplitter, that my little analogy was precise in kind, but carried (not too far really) to a reductio ad absurdum.
- September 28, 2009 at 11:06 am
"to equate the activities of an Auschwitz oven operator to my activities feeding patients at the children's hospital"
Ha ha, just realized that if this hypothetical Nazi lived a life of comfort on a Brazilian beach, and to a ripe old age where he died peacefully in his sleep (or passed quickly while frolicking in the waters of a South American beach, as in fact happened with one very famous Auschwitz worker) and I wasn't getting paid for my part-time activities; Bala shouldn't want to equate our activities at all. I am obviously the evil one here!
- September 28, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I won't comment on Ayn Rand's philosophy. What I've heard and read sounds so … insane that I keep thinking I just don't get it. I mean, I'm no altruism enthusiast when they demand it of me (as Spain's Zapatero and his "solidary" tax hike), but bemoaning other people's altruism? now that's a real tour de force.
- September 28, 2009 at 7:50 pm
My exact sentiments. Forced altruism is not altruism. Uninformed altruism is not altruism. Of course reason is a good thing. How about a balance of rational self interest *and* freely, intelligently caring for others? Maybe I just can't get it, like you say, how could it be *so* insane? If I am getting it, Randism is completely asinine.
- September 29, 2009 at 3:41 am
Martin OB,
" I won't comment on Ayn Rand's philosophy. What I've heard and read sounds so … insane that I keep thinking I just don't get it. "
Just curious to know which part sounded so … insane. 'Coz I thought it was the easiest set of ideas in the world to understand, especially if you got past the part where she explains how the word "selfishness" has been given all sorts of connotations you would never get from the meaning of the word. For your reference, since you use dictionary.com, I checked it out for the meaning
1. devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.
2. characterized by or manifesting concern or care only for oneself: selfish motives.
I thought the simple point that every single human action aimed at enhancing life is inherently selfish and that without selfish action, man cannot live. I wonder what is unintelligible in this (unless one just does not want to accept the simple basic meaning of the word and insists that all the illegitimate connotations also be included).
- September 29, 2009 at 8:26 pm
" How about a balance of rational self interest *and* freely, intelligently caring for others? "
This is the perfect redundancy. Rational self-interest, especially if it includes a man's long-range self-interest and not just range-of-the-moment benefits, already factors in the part about "freely, intelligently caring for others". The logic is simple – Conflict is never in a man's self-interest, especially if it can be avoided by his own actions that do not compromise his self-interest.
Just to take a ridiculously simple example, while walking through a crowd, I have two options – push through it as fast as I can to reach where I want to directly or be polite and walk slowly, taking temporary diversions when necessary and ultimately taking more time. The first option includes the risk of triggering a stampede or a scuffle with someone I push around and thus (possibly) my own death while the second consumes more time but gives me a chance of preserving my life and well-being.
The distinction you are making between selfishness and self-interest is both unnecessary and illegitimate. By rejecting the word, you are buying into the altruist campaign.

Many people feel that the current administration's economic policy has been a great success. The president's supporters say this is a result of the large tax cuts at the beginning of the president's first term. I completely agree M- as far as it goes.
This is not the entire story. The Federal Reserve also had a hand. The Federal Reserve raises or lowers interest rates to control the growth of the economy. If the economy appears to be failing, they lower interest rates to pump more money into the economy. If the economy seems in danger of overheating to the point of creating significant price inflation, they raise interest rates to take money out of the economy.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. -- Two Cape Coral Marines are about to tackle an exhausting task: running more than 600 miles! It's all to raise awareness and money for the nonprofit Wounded Warriors Project.
Both men are going the distance for injured soldiers across the country.
Doug Meyer and Jose Isa consider themselves more like brothers than best friends. The Marine riflemen served together in Iraq and Afghanistan, and have seen first-hand the toll war has taken on their fellow soldiers.
"It's kind of lifechanging. You see what they're going through, you want to help them as much as possible," said Isa.
They say the Wounded Warrior Project - a non-profit organization - has helped their friends, despite devastating injuries, maintain a spirit of survival.
"He came back, he was extremely hurt and they gave him everything he could ask for," explained Isa.
On June 28th the two Marines will join three others calling themselves the Grunt Runners. They'll tackle a grueling 641 miles, running from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to Ground Zero in New York. "We're all shooting at least 6 miles per person, then switch off," said Meyer.
The marines have raised about $3,000 so far but their goal is to raise $20,000. "It gives me goosebumps, to see that people are actually reaching out and helping," said Isa.
The Marines say its a small journey they hope will make a big difference in a fellow soldier's life.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israeli aircraft are targeting houses in the Gaza Strip as never before, firing precision missiles into family living rooms.
They have killed at least five known militants with the tactic, but they appear to have killed more civilians, including a growing number of women and children.
Israeli defense officials say their mission is not only to stop Hamas and other militant groups in the Gaza Strip from firing ever more powerful rockets deeper into Israel, as they did on Wednesday, but to weaken Hamas by killing its commanders.
But by targeting 60 houses in the past 48 hours, Israel's risk of inflicting collateral damage has soared. The health ministry in Gaza reported Wednesday evening that 41 residents of the coastal enclave have been killed in Israeli strikes since the conflict began early Tuesday – and that 13 of the dead were 16 years old or younger. At least seven were women, and a handful were elderly, such as Naifeh Farjallah, who was 80.
At least 300 people, more than half of them women and children, were injured seriously enough to be taken to hospitals in the past two days, the health ministry said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday night that Hamas is to blame.
Hamas is thus committing a double war crime, he said. It targets Israeli civilians, while hiding behind civilians.
With the conflict intensifying and no sign of a cease-fire in sight, Palestinian militants fired rockets that flew well beyond Tel Aviv, Israel's commercial capital, and landed in the country's coastal high-tech corridor.
The major Mediterranean port city of Haifa, about 100 miles north of the Gaza border, ordered the opening of its public bomb shelters Wednesday after rockets hit towns to the south at Zichron Yaakov, Caesaria and Hadera. It was the first time that rockets from Gaza had flown that far into Israel.
The Israeli military said a Hamas rocket that struck Hadera, about 70 miles north of the Gaza border, was an M-302 class rocket, similar to ones found aboard a freighter the Israelis intercepted in the Red Sea in March. The ship was ferrying a load of Iranian-supplied arms to Gaza when it was stopped.
The group Human Rights Watch on Wednesday declared that since the Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel are indiscriminate and target civilian population centers, they amount to war crimes. The group also said: Israeli attacks targeting homes may amount to prohibited collective punishment.
Israeli F-16s, Apaches and armed drones have hit more than 500 targets in Gaza the past two days.

The best movies of 2010
Published: December 30, 2010
Justin Strout
Don't let the late-coming Oscar downers fool you: 2010 was all about hope and optimism returning to the multiplex. It was there from the year's first week in Nicolas Cage's bizarro-noir turn in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans and it was there in Hit-Girl's shit-eating Kick-Ass grin. It permeated Toy Story 3's homages to The Bridge on the River Kwai and Cool Hand Luke, and it was slathered all over Jeff Bridges' whiskey-soaked True Grit beard. It's the love of storytelling, and this year's moviegoers rejected the nihilism of Robin Hood and the self-seriousness of The Last Airbender in its favor. That's a "win" any way you cut it.
Be sure to visit www.orlandoweekly.com for our 2010 Best in Film Honorable Mentions!
1. The Social Network – What begins as a simple battle between the geeks and the cool kids – tech scholarships vs. WASP legacies – ends with everyone losing. What Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher's exploration of the origins of Facebook managed to cram in between – ambition, jealousy, revenge, billion-dollar stakes and the connectivity of the world – was told in a more thrilling, breakneck-paced, smarter and funnier way than any other film this year. (on DVD Jan. 11)
2. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World – Director Edgar Wright pulled off a better postmodern romance than last year's 500 Days of Summer, with Michael Cera coming into his own as a lost 20-something garage-banding his way through life until he meets Mary Elizabeth Winstead's unobtainable Ramona. That plotline works well enough, but when Cera's Pilgrim is thrust into an arcade world of epic battles he must win to be with Ramona, the result is gonzo filmmaking the likes of which I've never seen. (now on DVD)
3. Exit Through the Gift Shop – From the exuberant opening montage set to "Tonight the Streets Are Ours," Banksy's documentary, which challenged our perception of art while simultaneously luxuriating in the ecstasy of an emerging style on the brink of becoming a worldwide commodity, took me places I never thought I'd enjoy so much. (now on DVD)
4. Blue Valentine – Director Derek Cianfrance's debut film, 1998's Brother Tied, was first embraced by the Florida Film Festival. While in town at the time, Cianfrance was heard talking about Blue Valentine, a script he was putting his all into. Twelve years later, that script became a heart-wrenching film featuring the talented Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams in their best roles. In its portrait of a couple on the brink of divorce, Valentine feels so real and is so powerfully portrayed, that it put me in an emotional funk for a couple of days after seeing it. The last film that hit me that hard: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. (in Orlando theaters Jan. 2011)
5. The Kids Are All Right – In helming a story of a couple thrown into turmoil by the arrival of their kids' biological father, Lisa Cholodenko avoided melodrama in favor of natural emotional ebbs and flows. The scene where Annette Bening sings Joni Mitchell at the dinner table is at once the funniest and saddest cinematic moment of the year. (now on DVD)

Ford says its 1.6-liter EcoBoost delivers the best of both worlds – "performance combined with lower emissions." We won't argue against that. No doubt, the 1.6-liter gasser is an impressive mill. Apparently, Ford is so thrilled with the versatility of its tiny four banger that it says 1.3 million of these engines will power at least six of its vehicles within the next three years.
Demand for the 1.6-liter EcoBoost is soaring, according to Ford. That's why the automaker has announced that its Bridgen Engine Plant in the UK is working at full tilt to pump out the four-cylinder mill.
Despite its relatively small capacity, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost powers the Ford Focus from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 7.9 seconds, while returning near best-in-class fuel efficiency. The 1.6-liter's impressive performance, combined with its fuel-sipping status, has led Ford to tag the engine a "hero" for the automaker.

Ford's 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine already sold to more than 50,000 customers since late 2010 launch
Versatile engine available in six Ford cars, from Focus to Galaxy
EcoBoost technology delivers best of both worlds – better performance combined with lower
BRENTWOOD, UK, June 29, 2011 – Since the introduction of the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine in late 2010, Ford's Bridgend Engine Plant in the UK has been working flat out to meet customer demand. Available in the new Focus, Mondeo, C-MAX, Grand C-MAX, S-MAX and Galaxy, the versatile 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine has been a huge success thanks to its impressive performance, excellent fuel economy and low CO2 emissions.
That's why Ford is already celebrating building 50,000 of the engines at Bridgend.
"Demand for the EcoBoost engine is at record levels and the plant is fully focused on increasing capacity to ensure we can support the ever-growing customer demand," says Kieran Cahill, Bridgend Plant Manager.
The Ford-built and designed engine can rightly claim to be a 'hero' engine for the company –offering customers a winning combination of performance and economy, and the versatility to power cars as different as the Focus and the Galaxy.
Despite its relatively small capacity, the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine delivers impressive performance. The Focus can reach 100km/h (62mph) from a standstill in 7.9 seconds, achieve a top speed of 222km/h (138mph) and return an excellent combined fuel consumption of 6l/100km (47.1mpg) – helped by Auto-Start-Stop, which is standard fit on all Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX 1.6-litre EcoBoost models.
Even in the larger Ford Galaxy, the 160PS engine achieves a combined 7.2l/100km (39.2mpg) while still reaching 100km/h in less than 10 seconds.
The low CO2 emissions are a key feature of the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine, achieved by some clever innovations such as Ford Auto-Start-Stop and the Active Grille Shutter.
Additional help comes from its state-of-the-art engine management system that monitors the Ti-VCT variable valve timing system, turbo boost, electronic throttle position, ignition timing, fuel injector pressure and delivery, and the knock sensor at a stunning rate of one million times per second.
With CO2 levels from 139g/km in the new Focus and 149g/km in the Mondeo, the 1.6-litre EcoBoost proves to be very affordable to run while still delivering a great drive – in short, more power and less fuel consumption.
"Ford EcoBoost engines actually provide customers with many of the benefits offered by the latest diesels, including impressive torque at low engine speeds and reduced CO2 emissions," says Graham Hoare, executive director Powertrain Development, Ford of Europe. "At the same time, these engines retain the free-revving driving character and cost advantage of a petrol unit – effectively giving customers the best of both worlds."

'Too early to talk about future' - Kubica
23 January 2013 – Robert Kubica has explained that although he will be testing a Mercedes DTM car on Thursday, it is too early to discuss a potential future in the championship. The Polish driver, who is steadily recovering from a rallying accident in 2011, says he is simply grateful to the brand for allowing him to drive a car with 'good levels of downforce'.
"I'm really pleased that Mercedes-Benz is giving me the opportunity to test their DTM car and I'm looking forward to getting acclimatised to a race car again," said Kubica, who turned 28 last month. "It will be in proper testing conditions, on a permanent circuit, and it's important because the DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coupé has good levels of downforce."
In terms of where the test might lead, Kubica refused to make any predictions:
"It's still too early to make any statements about my future because of this one test," he said. "I'm just looking forward to tomorrow and we'll see what happens after that."
Kubica will be joined at the Mercedes test by former on-track rival Timo Glock, who announced earlier in the week that he has parted ways with the Marussia F1 Team.

This harrowing, visually stunning new film from director Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days), inspired by the non-fiction novels of Tatiana Niculescu Bran, unfolds in and around a remote monastery where pious young women toil dutifully under the ever-watchful eye of an austere priest known as Papa (Valeriu Andriuta). As the film opens, Alina (Cristina Flutur) arrives to visit her friend Voichita (Cosmina Stratan), one of the nuns in training. As children, the two women lived together in an orphanage where the tough, short-tempered Alina served as a protector for her more delicate friend. Now, Alina wants Voichita to leave her cloistered life and return with her to Germany, but as the fateful hour draws near, Voichita seems disinclined to go, and so Alina stays on for a while, which is when the real trouble begins. Inspired by a case of alleged demonic possession that occurred in Romania's Moldova region in 2005, Beyond the Hills is not a supernatural thriller but rather an all-too-believable portrait of dogma at odds with personal liberty in a society still emerging from the shadow of Communism. For their remarkable lead performances, screen newcomers Flutur and Stratan shared the Best Actress prize at the Cannes Film Festival, where Mungiu also received the Best Screenplay award.
