The Perfect Wig!
By Motor City Girl
from Detroit, MI
About Me Beauty Conscious
Best Uses
Comments about Wig WP-Jojo-V by Vivica Fox:
I'm too busy to spend hours in a salon having my own hair done, so this beautiful, comfortable, and versatile wig is a life-saver for me. When it arrived, the curls were quite tight but, after wearing it around the house for a few days, the curls loosened just enough to be bouncy and beautiful. The band is so flexible and lightweight, I hardly even notice it's there. This is the "PERFECT" wig - just shake and go -, and I've already purchased another one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Grace Dent on TV: Reeled in by Catfish, the show that's created a fresh dictionary definition of deceit
23 May 2014 12:00 AM
Despite my obsession with Game of Thrones and Lucy Worsley's The First Georgians right now, I am still televisually smitten with MTV's Catfish. The show that exposes online love fraudsters. The throwaway youth TV show that one's mind just cannot throw away. Instead, one sits post- episode genuinely saddened that our human need to love and be loved is so destructive. Or that the earth's supply of gullible optimists may well be infinite.

More Details On The HHVM Virtual Machine Design
Published on 12 April 2013 05:56 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
1 Comment
After earlier this week delivering benchmarks showing
Facebook's HipHop 2.0 Virtual Machine is very fast
, a Facebook engineer commented in our forums about some of the design choices that were made.
Facebook's HHVM should have no problem
outperforming PHP 5.5
as shown with our benchmarks. In response to the article earlier this week, there was some surprise along with questions raised. Facebook's Drew Paroski who has worked on their high-performance implementation of PHP
to elaborate on some of their motives and positions for doing this work.
- Back in 2007~2008 they contributed patches back to Zend PHP 5.2 that yielded 5~10% reduction in CPU usage, as tested on Facebook's code-base. It was also around that time they began exploring other PHP engines and prototyping their HiHop compiler of taking PHP and converting it to C++.
- While HipHop is open-source, in terms of why they haven't tried contributing it back upstream: "After a certain point it became hard to get more gains from the Zend engine unless we substantially changed the core of the engine, and by early to mid 2009 HPHPc was getting close to being able to run Facebook's site and was looking promising."
- Paroski also added about their open-source position with HipHop, "we *are* giving back to the PHP community by open-sourcing HipHop VM, making it freely available to use, and having some engineers dedicated full-time to responding to issues reported by developers outside of Facebook. We're dedicated to maintaining a high compatibility bar with the Zend PHP engine; we want HipHop VM to be useful to developers outside of Facebook and we're slowing growing a community around it."
- If you're wondering why they used their own bytecode and virtual machine instead of the widely-used industry-leading LLVM, it simply wasn't in the state it is today back when they began work on their JIT compiler in 2010. When they began, LLVM's Just-In-Time compilation abilities weren't good enough for Facebook. Facebook engineers also found value in "owning" their entire compiler stack with greater flexibility to max out its performance for the PHP code-base.
- The HipHop developers plan to fully support the PHP 5.4 language as well as to support more PHP extensions. They also want to make it easier for outside developers to port existing and new extensions to HipHop VM.
- In terms of the current PHP 5.4 support: "we support most PHP 5.4 language features, including eval, traits, exceptions, late static binding, closures, magic methods (__get, __set, etc.), typehints, autoload, nowdocs, etc. Off the top of my head, the main features missing at present are namespaces and short array syntax, which we plan to add in the coming months. Also, there was some missing functionality with closures, but we've recently fixed that and the fixes should make it to our open-source github repo soon...HipHop currently supports a few dozen of the popular Zend extensions, but there are still several popular Zend extensions that haven't been ported to HipHop yet. While we plan to port a few more extensions this year, we're focusing primarily on making it easier to add/port extensions to HHVM. This includes cleaning up HipHop's extension system to be more friendly, having good documentation, and possibly writing some tools to help port existing Zend extensions."

DEFINITION of 'Bulge'
A fast increase in a security's or commodity's trading price. Bulge is an informal word with a meaning similar to the term bubble. A bulge occurs when an investment instrument's price rises quickly, often accompanied by increased volume. The price increases can continue over a period of hours, days or weeks, but a bulge is generally short-lived. A bulge is similar to a rally on equity exchanges.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Bulge'
Prices for a particular instrument or sector might have strong support and continue to quickly rise, resulting in a temporary "bulge" in price. Bulges are characteristically fast moving and short-lived. Buying may continue until the security is overbought, and prices drop off, sometimes dramatically. Investors who jump on late, hoping that prices will continue to rise, often miss the move entirely due to its short-term nature.

Hey, Barbara Boxer: Move on
The Sleuth blog run by WaPo's Mary Ann Akers has an interesting item about Sen. Barbara Boxer's snit fit over former Rep. James Rogan's (R-Calif.) nomination to the federal bench. Akers reports that Boxer's office admitted that she's blocking the nomination because she can't get over Rogan's role as one of the House impeachment managers during the Clinton years.
Bill Clinton doesn't hold a grudge against Rogan. Neither does Clinton water-carrier Lanny Davis, who told The Sleuth blog this:
Supporters of Rogan's judicial nomination include, of all people, Lanny Davis, the former special counsel to former President Clinton, and another lawyer in the Clinton White House counsel's office. He's disappointed to learn Boxer is blocking Rogan over the impeachment trial.
Davis says the Clintons are forgiving, live-and-let-live kind of folks, so why can't Boxer be? "I think that Senator Boxer is also a gracious person who, if she got to know Jim Rogan since the impeachment days as I have, would reconsider her opposition," he says. "This is a man who would make a great judge."
Boxer's press aide told Akers:
Even if his cordial correspondence with Rogan over the years, some of it handwritten, means that Clinton himself is willing to forgive his impeacher, Boxer certainly isn't ready to reward Rogan with a plum lifetime judicial appointment.
"Congressman Rogan was one of the most enthusiastic backers of impeachment — he thought President Clinton had committed high crimes and misdemeanors," says Boxer spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz. "The Senate certainly disagreed with that conclusion, as did Senator Boxer."
Someone needs to, you know, move on.
Democrats are not about getting even; Democrats are about getting results.

CNET editors round up their favorite tablets, including products from Apple, Samsung, and Google.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
This simple, low-cost LED is a strong performer with plenty of upfront value.
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it maintain its position as one of the best mini flagships around.
The smooth performing and feature-filled Amazon Fire HD 6 is unrivaled in the bargain tablet category.
With the latest version of iOS and an NFC-equipped iPhone, you'll finally be able to pay for transactions with Apple Pay.

If I start Remote Viewfinder on the camera it says waiting for a phone and it also says waiting for a phone on my phone!! Surely there's a way of getting the two flagship Samsung products to work together????

You have to flash the firmware to 4.1.2 before the remote viewfinder will work. There is a "remote viewfinder" mode in the camer app once you update the firmware.

Leicester get the bonus point away at Sale%]
Leicester ran in 31 unanswered second-half points to overcome Sale 34-13 and claim only their second Aviva Premiership victory of the campaign in a thrilling encounter in Stockport.
The Tigers have found life tough in the opening weeks of the season owing to a number of World Cup call-ups, but they dug deep when it mattered most. Rookie wing Tom Brady's first-half try helped the Sharks into a 13-3 interval lead but second-half scores from Alesana Tuilagi, Martin Castrogiovanni, Toby Flood and Marcos Ayerza completed a stunning turnaround.
Sale named Wales flanker Andy Powell on the bench following his return from the World Cup last weekend as the hosts sought to maintain their fine start to the campaign. Leicester hooker George Chuter made his 250th appearance for the club, replacing Tom Youngs in the front row, while Scott Hamilton came into midfield for the injured Manu Tuilagi.
It was Leicester who began quickest as a break from England flanker Tom Croft took him close before Sale fly-half Nick MacLeod missed a penalty from distance.
In the 11th minute, the Tigers led when England No.10 Flood slotted over a penalty but the response from the hosts was impressive. Rob Miller went close down the left flank and then Brady saw a score ruled out on the opposite flank by the television match official.
Shortly before the half-hour mark, MacLeod kicked two penalties in quick succession to put his side 6-3 ahead and from there Sale began to take control. They continued to probe and were rewarded three minutes before the break when Sale produced a fine counter-attack which led to them scoring a try through Brady.
A Leicester defender was penalised for not releasing the ball and a quick penalty tap led to Miller dashing forward to send Brady over in the left corner. MacLeod added the extras to put the hosts 13-3 ahead at half-time before Flood missed a penalty shortly after the restart.
He then kicked one from in front of the posts to cut Sale's lead to seven points in the 50th minute, before Tuilagi collected a pass from Flood to take Leicester over the line in the 58th minute. Flood added the extras, Castrogiovanni burrowed over in the right corner three minutes later and Flood then sauntered over in the 58th minute to put the Tigers in total control.
Argentina prop Ayerza grabbed Leicester's fourth with another close-range effort in the 70th minute to leave Sale stunned. Flood, an influential presence throughout, converted all four tries in a 19-point haul to get Leicester's season up and running.

Abandoned by her mother at age five, Emma Paxton has had a rough life in foster care, always longing for a family of her own. When she discovers Sutton Mercer, the wealthy twin she never knew she had, she leaps at the chance to meet her. But then Sutton disappears. . . .
Mistaking Emma for her sister, Sutton's friends whisk her away. At first Emma plays along, eager to peek into her twin's life. Sutton seems to have everything Emma never got—an adoring boyfriend, fiercely loyal friends, and a close-knit family—but as Emma is drawn further into Sutton's world, she finds that everyone is hiding dark secrets. Worst of all, Sutton may not be coming back—ever.
Now, to find out what happened to her, Emma must keep up the charade. But one wrong move and she could end up missing as well.
Let the Lying Game begin.

"What is it that keeps the country down", asked the speaker. A young man in the audience replied unhesitatingly: "Undoubtedly the institution of caste that kept the majority low castes and the society backward" and added "it continues".

The speaker replied, "May be". But, pausing for a moment, he added, "May not be". Shocked, the young man angrily asked him to explain his "may-not-be" theory.

The speaker calmly mentioned just one fact that clinched the debate. He said, "Before the British rule in India, over two-thirds - yes, two-thirds - of the Indian kings belonged to what is today known as the Other Backward Castes (OBCs).

"It is the British," he said, "who robbed the OBCs - the ruling class running all socio-economic institutions - of their power, wealth and status." So it was not the upper caste which usurped the OBCs of their due position in the society?

The speaker's assertion that it was not so was founded on his study - unbelievably painstaking study for years and decades in the archives in India, England and Germany. He could not be maligned as a 'saffron' ideologue and what he said could not be dismissed thus. He was Dharampal, a Gandhian in ceaseless search of truth like his preceptor Gandhi himself was, but a Gandhian with a difference. He ran no ashram on state aid to do 'Gandhigiri'.

Admitting that "he and those like him do not know much about our own society", the young man who questioned Dharampal - Banwari is his name - became his student. By meticulous research of the British sources over decades, Dharampal demolished the myth that India was backward educationally or economically when the British entered. Citing the Christian missionary William Adam's report on indigenous education in Bengal and Bihar in 1835 and 1838, Dharampal established that at that time there were 100,000 schools in Bengal, one school for about 500 boys; that the indigenous medical system that included inoculation against small-pox.

He also proved by reference to other materials that Adam's record was 'no legend'. He relied on Sir Thomas Munroe's report to the Governor at about the same time to prove similar statistics about schools in Madras. He also found that the education system in the Punjab during the Maharaja Ranjit Singh's rule was equally extensive. He estimated that the literacy rate in India before the British was higher than that in England.

Citing British public records he established, on the contrary, that 'British had no tradition of education or scholarship or philosophy from 16th to early 18th century, despite Shakespeare, Bacon, Milton, Newton, etc'. Till then education and scholarship in the UK was limited to select elite. He cited Alexander Walker's Note on Indian education to assert that it was the monitorial system of education borrowed from India that helped Britain to improve, in later years, school attendance which was just 40, 000, yes just that, in 1792. He then compared the educated people's levels in India and England around 1800. The population of Madras Presidency then was 125 lakhs and that of England in 1811 was 95 lakhs. Dharampal found that during 1822-25 the number of those in ordinary schools in Madras Presidency was around 1.5 lakhs and this was after great decay under a century of British intervention.

As against this, the number attending schools in England was half - yes just half - of Madras Presidency's, namely a mere 75,000. And here to with more than half of it attending only Sunday schools for 2-3 hours! Dharampal also established that in Britain 'elementary system of education at people's level remained unknown commodity' till about 1800! Again he exploded the popularly held belief that most of those attending schools must have belonged to the upper castes particularly Brahmins and, again with reference to the British records, proved that the truth was the other way round.

During 1822-25 the share of the Brahmin students in the indigenous schools in Tamil-speaking areas accounted for 13 per cent in South Arcot to some 23 per cent in Madras while the backward castes accounted for 70 per cent in Salem and Tirunelveli and 84 per cent in South Arcot.

The situation was almost similar in Malayalam, Oriya and Kannada-speaking areas, with the backward castes dominating the schools in absolute numbers. Only in the Telugu-speaking areas the share of the Brahmins was higher and varied from 24 to 46 per cent. Dharampal's work proved Mahatma Gandhi's statement at Chatham House in London on October 20, 1931 that "India today is more illiterate than it was fifty or hundred years ago" completely right.

Not many know of Dharampal or of his work because they have still not heard of the Indian past he had discovered. After, long after, Dharampal had established that pre-British India was not backward a Harvard University Research in the year 2005 (India's Deindustrialisation in the 18th and 19th Centuries by David Clingingsmith and Jeffrey G Williamson) among others affirmed that "while India produced about 25 percent of world industrial output in 1750, this figure had fallen to only 2 percent by 1900." The Harvard University Economic Research also established that the Industrial employment in India also declined from about 30 to 8.5 per cent between 1809-13 and 1900, thus turning the Indian society backward.

PS: This great warrior who established the truth - the truth that was least known - that India was not backward when the British came, but became backward only after they came, is no more. He passed away two weeks ago on October 26, 2006, at Sevagram at Warda.

An excerpt from a transcript of Krista Tippett's radio show, "On Being":

 Ms. Tippett: ......... Isn't it strange how, in Western culture in a field like psychotherapy or even I see this a lot in religion, in Western culture we turn these things into these chin-up experiences. We separated ourselves, we divided ourselves. I see this — I mean, yoga is everywhere now, right? And people are discovering all kinds of ways, as you say. There are all kinds of other ways to reunite ourselves, but …

Dr. van der Kolk: But it's true. Western culture is astoundingly disembodied and uniquely so. Because of my work, I've been to South Africa quite a few times and China and Japan and India. You see that we are much more disembodied. And the way I like to say is that we basically come from a post-alcoholic culture. People whose origins are in Northern Europe had only one way of treating distress: that's namely with a bottle of alcohol.

North American culture continues to continue that notion. If you feel bad, just take a swig or take a pill. And the notion that you can do things to change the harmony inside of yourself is just not something that we teach in schools and in our culture, in our churches, in our religious practices. And, of course, if you look at religions around the world, they always start with dancing, moving, singing …

 Ms. Tippett: Yeah. Crying, laughing, yeah.

 Dr. van der Kolk: Physical experiences. And then the more respectable people become, the more stiff they become somehow.

In the Bill Maher - Ben Affleck kerfuffle the other day, Affleck voiced a conventional opinion. e.g.,

Affleck said that a minority of radical Islamists shouldn't give a bad name to the overwhelming majority of Muslims who do not share the same extreme views.

In this view, there are a small percentage of crazies, who give the rest of the community a bad name. I found a contrary view in a somewhat unusual place, below the fold.

Dr. Saiyid Athar Abbas Rizvi got his doctorate around 1965 from Agra University, in northern India. His Ph.D thesis was published in book form: Muslim Revivalist Movements In Northern India in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries.

This book from almost fifty years ago has a foreword by Emeritus Prof. Mohammad Habib, Aligarh Muslim University, which I quote here to highlight one specific point.

It is difficult for me to find words to express my appreciation for this extraordinary work. It is an unrivalled study of Indo-Muslim ideology for the two centuries it covers. No medieval or modern work comes to this standard. As compared to our great medieval writers, even Maulana Abdul Haq Muhaddis, Dr. Rizvi has more basic material (printed as well as manuscript, but mostly manuscript) within his reach due to his prolonged labour in its collection and the facilities of the modern age. Also, unlike them, he has freedom from bias and sectarianism, the fear of the Muslim popular opinion; fanaticism of the millat (Muslim Community) does not sit as a nightmare on Dr. Rizvi's mind. His study of the unpublished authorities has been very sound; his attitude is tolerant but critical; and a very complete and (in my humble opinion) correct picture of the religious and mystic movements of the period emerges from the book.

A word of explanation is necessary before I proceed further. Muslim writers and thinkers (both mystics and Mullas) may be divided into two groups. There has been a lower layer that sought a livelihood by serving the government of the day or by pandering to the fanaticism of the multitude. But there has also been a top-layer of persons with broad humanity and freedom from religious fanaticism - Alberuni, Avicenna, Averroes, Ibn Arabi, Shaikh Nizam ud-Din Auliya, Dara Shukoh, etc., about whom Dr. A.A. Rizvi correctly says: "To draw a distinction between believers and kafirs, heaven and hell, reward and punishment was frivolous in their eyes." Dr. A. A. Rizvi promises to be the greatest of this group in our generation.

Notice - unlike the Western liberal "majority are moderate only, and the fanatics are just a few percent", Prof. Habib labels the Millat, the Muslim community, the multitude of the Muslim community as fanatical; and among the writers and thinkers only a small group rise above that fanaticism to broad humanism. The fear - nightmare is the term used - of Muslim popular opinion - is a factor in this. "The government of the day" has rarely been humanistic either.

I don't want to get into an argument here that Ben Affleck is wrong and Prof. Mohammad Habib is right, or vice versa. It is the contrast that is interesting, and is worth reflecting on.

(via Agnimitra on BRF).

Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi, per Wiki, 1564-1624, "has been described as the Mujaddid Alf Thānī, meaning the "reviver of the second millennium", for his work in rejuvenating Islam and opposing the heterodoxies prevalent in the time of Mughal Emperor Akbar." He stands prominently in the lineage of the Naqshbandi Sufi order. The writing below explodes the idea that Sufis are "moderate".

 PS: if you're puzzled how Sirhindi jumps from Hindus to Jews, it is an artifact of the compiler of this, Andrew Bostom; Sirhindi has a letter on the killing of Jews. It is strange only because Sirhindi likely never met a Jew.

PPS: The "accursed kafir of Gobindwal" I think is Guru Arjan the fifth Sikh Guru.

Indian Prime Minister Modi in his visit to the US, at the event at Madison Square Garden, at the Council for Foreign Relations, at the United Nations General Assembly spoke repeatedly of the crisis that climate change is bringing upon the planet, and of his plans for clean energy for India. He has the slogan "zero defect, zero effect" for manufacturing in India - i.e., Indian manufacturing will try to be world class and try to have zero net effect on the environment.

Strange that this has received next to zero coverage in the US media and blogs.

If you estimate the sustainable rate of carbon dioxide emission (so that CO2 concentration remains constant) for the planet, and divide it by the world population, you get a per capita carbon budget (tons of CO2 per person per year).

Two important observations:

Indians as of 2007 were well below this per capita limit.

1250 million Indians want to industrialize and fast (that is why they voted for Modi).

 So what India is able to do is crucial to the future of the planet's climate.

When the Indian Prime Minister Modi comes to the US and talks about climate change, and his aspiration to industrialize in a carbon-neutral way, and the US media collectively gives a yawn, it is infinitely and amply clear, that climate change is not taken seriously here, even in the liberal section of the media. When a key player in the world's carbon dioxide economy lands on their shores, and talks planet-friendly, it is a non-event.

Conclusion: Climate change doesn't exist for the Republicans; and for the Democrats, it is merely a way to bash Republicans as anti-science.

At the library, I picked up Amir Alexander's "Infinitesimal - How a dangerous mathematical theory shaped the modern world". This was because the dust jacket began thusly:

"ON AUGUST 10, 1632, five men in flowing black robes convened in a somber Roman palazzo to pass judgment on a deceptively simple proposition: that a continuous line is composed of distinct and infinitely tiny parts. With the stroke of a pen the Jesuit fathers banned the doctrine of infinitesimals, announcing that it could never be taught or even mentioned. The concept was deemed dangerous and subversive, a threat to the belief that the world was an orderly place, governed by a strict and unchanging set of rules. If infinitesimals were ever accepted, the Jesuits feared, the entire world would be plunged into chaos".

I knew that it took a long time for mathematics to be able to deal with the infinitesimal and the infinite with any kind of rigor, but that it invited religious opposition was something new to me.

Inside the book, I quickly come across that the Jesuits felt it necessary to "denounce indivisibles again in 1643 and 1649. By 1651 they had had enough: determined to put an end to unauthorized opinions in their ranks, the leaders of the Society produced a permanent list of banned doctrines, that could never be taught or advocated by members of the order. Among the forbidden teachings, featured repeatedly in various guises, was the doctrine of indivisibles."

A bit earlier in the book, the author tells us:

"Yet, useful as it was, and successful as it was, the concept of the infinitely small was challenged at every turn. The Jesuits opposed it; Hobbes and his admirers opposed it; Anglican churchmen opposed it, as did many others. What was it, then, about the infinitely small that inspired such fierce opposition from so many different quarters? The answer is that the infinitely small was a simple idea that punctured a great and beautiful dream: that the world is a perfectly rational place, governed by strict mathematical rules. In such a world, all things, natural and human, have their given and unchanging place in the grand universal order. Everything from a grain of sand to the stars in the sky, from the humblest beggar to kings and emperors, is a part of a fixed, eternal hierarchy. Any attempt to revise or topple it is a rebellion against the one unalterable order, a senseless disruption that in any case is doomed to failure."

"But if the paradoxes of Zeno and the problem of incommensurability prove anything, it is that the dream of a perfect fit between mathematics and the physical world is intenable. On the scale of the infinitely small, numbers do not correspond to physical objects and any attempt to force the fit leads to paradoxes and contradictions. Mathematical reasoning, however rigorous and true on its own terms, cannot tell us how the world actually must be. At the heart of creation, it seems, lies a mystery that eludes the grasp of the most rigorous reasoning, and allows the world to diverge from our best mathematical deductions and go its own way -- we know not where."

---- The problem of the incommensurable is "no matter how many times you divide each of the lines {of the side of the square and its diagonal which are in the ratio of 1:sqrt(2)}, or how thinly you slice them, you will never arrive at a magnitude that is their common measure". "Why are incommensurables a problem for indivisibles? Because if lines were composed of indivisibles, then the magnitudes of these mathematical atoms would be a common measure for any two lines. But if two lines are incommensurable, then there is not common component that they both share, and hence there are no mathematical atoms; no indivisibles."

---- Zeno's paradoxes all also have to do with the infinite and the infinitesimal.

Until the news broke that Amazon had acquired Twitch for $970 million, I had had no idea that watching other people play video games was such a big business.

Twitch is a company that lets you watch video gaming as a spectator sport — it live-streams gamers gaming and allows viewers to interact during the games, to enormous success.

 Twitch now boasts 55 million monthly active users, a count that's only growing. A recent graph of the peak Internet traffic in the U.S. puts Twitch ahead of Hulu, Valve and Amazon, behind just Netflix, Google and Apple.
The natural question :

Why would Amazon pay almost a billion dollars for a start-up that allows people to watch others play "Pokémon"? Johnson says the numbers explain it all.

 "Twitch had 43 percent of the live video streaming traffic by volume in a given week," says Johnson. "That's above ESPN's website, MLB.com, CNN."

 Last year during a championship for the game "League of Legends", 32 million people were reportedly watching live.

 "That's more than the audience for the finales of Breaking Bad, 24 and The Sopranos combined," adds Johnson.

(via dailykos.com)

Context:

This weekend a lazy, seemingly gullible reporter asked President Obama if he regretted not leaving troops in Iraq. That is a question based on Republican talking points and not journalistic inquiry. The reporter should have known that the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement was signed by President Bush which specifically said all combat troops would leave Iraq in December of 2011. President Obama attempted to negotiate keeping more soldiers in Iraq but could not come to an agreement with the Iraqi government who wanted the soldiers out.
Question:

Mr. President, do you have any second thoughts about pulling all ground troops out of Iraq? And does it give you pause as the U.S. -- is it doing the same thing in Afghanistan?
Obama:

What I just find interesting is the degree to which this issue keeps on coming up, as if this was my decision. Under the previous administration, we had turned over the country to a sovereign, democratically elected Iraqi government. In order for us to maintain troops in Iraq, we needed the invitation of the Iraqi government and we needed assurances that our personnel would be immune from prosecution if, for example, they were protecting themselves and ended up getting in a firefight with Iraqis, that they wouldn't be hauled before an Iraqi judicial system.

And the Iraqi government, based on its political considerations, in part because Iraqis were tired of a U.S. occupation, declined to provide us those assurances. And on that basis, we left. We had offered to leave additional troops. So when you hear people say, do you regret, Mr. President, not leaving more troops, that presupposes that I would have overridden this sovereign government that we had turned the keys back over to and said, you know what, you're democratic, you're sovereign, except if I decide that it's good for you to keep 10,000 or 15,000 or 25,000 Marines in your country, you don't have a choice—which would have kind of run contrary to the entire argument we were making about turning over the country back to Iraqis, an argument not just made by me, but made by the previous administration.

 So let's just be clear: The reason that we did not have a follow-on force in Iraq was because the Iraqis were—a majority of Iraqis did not want U.S. troops there, and politically they could not pass the kind of laws that would be required to protect our troops in Iraq.

Having said all that, if in fact the Iraqi government behaved the way it did over the last five, six years, where it failed to pass legislation that would reincorporate Sunnis and give them a sense of ownership; if it had targeted certain Sunni leaders and jailed them; if it had alienated some of the Sunni tribes that we had brought back in during the so-called Awakening that helped us turn the tide in 2006—if they had done all those things and we had had troops there, the country wouldn't be holding together either. The only difference would be we'd have a bunch of troops on the ground that would be vulnerable. And however many troops we had, we would have to now be reinforcing, I'd have to be protecting them, and we'd have a much bigger job. And probably, we would end up having to go up again in terms of the number of grounds troops to make sure that those forces were not vulnerable.

So that entire analysis is bogus and is wrong. But it gets frequently peddled around here by folks who oftentimes are trying to defend previous policies that they themselves made.

Going forward with respect to Afghanistan, we are leaving the follow-on force there. I think the lesson for Afghanistan is not the fact that we've got a follow-on force that will be capable of training and supporting Afghan security efforts. I think the real lesson in Afghanistan is that if factions in a country after a long period of civil war do not find a way to come up with a political accommodation; if they take maximalist positions and their attitude is, I want 100 percent of what I want and the other side gets nothing, then the center doesn't hold.

 And the good news is, is that in part thanks to the excellent work of John Kerry and others, we now are seeing the two candidates in the recent presidential election start coming together and agreeing not only to move forward on the audit to be able to finally certify a winner in the election, but also the kinds of political accommodations that are going to be required to keep democracy moving.

 So that's a real lesson I think for Afghanistan coming out of Iraq is, if you want this thing to work, then whether it's different ethnicities, different religions, different regions, they've got to accommodate each other, otherwise you start tipping back into old patterns of violence. And it doesn't matter how many U.S. troops are there -- if that happens, you end up having a mess.

The book discussion at the Hudson Institute, June 30, 2014, in Washington, DC.

The parent organization of the LeT has penetrated all sections of Pakistani government; and has cells all over the world. The author, Arif Jamal, believes that it is next to impossible to prevent these jihadis from taking over Pakistan and declaring another Caliphate.

Wiki: The Last Rose of Summer is a poem by Irish poet Thomas Moore, who was a friend of Byron and Shelley. Moore wrote it in 1805 while at Jenkinstown Park in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is set to a traditional tune called "Aislean an Oigfear" or "The Young Man's Dream",[1] which had been transcribed by Edward Bunting in 1792 based on a performance by harper Donnchadh Ó hÁmsaigh (Denis Hempson) at the Belfast Harp Festival.[2] The Poem and the tune together were published in December 1813 in volume 5 of a collection of Moore's work called A Section of Irish Melodies.

Wiki: Ludwig van Beethoven composed a Theme and Three Variations for flute and piano, Op. 105, based on the song, late in his life.

Ludwig Van Beethoven, Op. 105, 6 Themes and Variations for flute and piano, 4 - Scottish Air in E flat (composed 1818-1819)

Wiki: Felix Mendelssohn composed a Fantasia in E major, Op. 15, based on the song (1827?, publ. London, 1830).

Wiki: Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst wrote a set of variations for the violin on the song; these are considered extremely difficult to play.

Wiki: Benjamin Britten composed an arrangement in E flat major.

Benjamin Britten, The Last Rose of Summer

Bonus:

'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flow'r of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them;
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o'er thy bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.

So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from Love's shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie wither'd.
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

The Court of Appeals reinstated Florida's law that makes it illegal for doctors to talk to their patients about guns (previously struck down by a lower court).

From an OpEd in today's NYT:

In Florida, in 2011, a law was signed that made it illegal for doctors to ask patients if they owned a gun. If doctors violate this law, they can be disciplined, leading to fines, citations and even a loss of their license.

A lower court struck down the law in 2012. But last week, a panel of judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld it. In their ruling, the judges declared that the law regulates physician conduct "to protect patient privacy and curtail abuses of the physician-patient relationship." The clear assertion of the judges is that there is no legitimate health reason to be asking about gun ownership.

Almost 20,000 people committed suicide in the United States with firearms in 2011. More than 11,000 were killed by firearms that year, and more than 200 were killed in accidents with guns. In 2009, almost 7,400 children were hospitalized because of injuries related to guns.

Doctors who ask about guns aren't doing so because they're nosy. They're doing so because the vast majority of those deaths and injuries are preventable.

You are probably wondering why I am posting about ostkaka on a genealogy website. Basically, I am trying to determine
from which side of my father's ancestry our tradition of making ostkaka at Christmas comes from.
From my earliest memories my dad's mother made ostkaka for Christmas. We as kids just assumed that this was a Swedish
Christmas tradition. Several years ago my wife and I ran into 2 men from Sweden who were visiting a nearby factory owned by Huskvarna. I asked them about ostkaka at Christmas but although they knew of ostkaka they were unfamiliar with it being associated with Christmas.
I suspect, but have no proof, that those of Swedish-Americans made ostkaka at Christmas as a special treat to remember the old country. (Our family did not have a tradition of lutefisk at Christmas).
There are other people of Swedish descent that I know of (but are unrelated) who make ostkaka at Christmas time
but I don't know from which part of Sweden they are from.
My father's mother had ancestors that originated in Hyklinge, Östergotland and Kristdala, Smċland. My father's male ancestry is from Skane near Ystad.
Would any of these areas be more likely to have the ostkaka making tradition? I am suspecting Kristdala since I found
a youtube video on ostkaka making which originated in Skog, Smċland.
From the Ostkaka Smċland 2009 video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb6fd_c4WXY
I've helped my German-descent mother make ostkaka (she learned it from my father's mother) and our recipe is quite similar to the one in the video except no almonds or almond extract is added.
God Jul to all!
