The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.38 / 5.00 5,900 Viewsthis is the last day that this is gonna be turd of the week, so im gonna make a few things clear from all the whiny ass bitchy reviews i got. THIS IS NOT INSULTING REAGAN, IT'S JUST A DAMN JOKE, AND A STUPID ONE AT THAT. IF YOU THINK IT IS OFFENSIVE, AS ONE REVIEWER SAID, YOU CAN GO TO DISNEY.COM FOR JOLLY HAPPY STUFF. I AM NOT GOING TO BURN IN HELL BECAUSE HELL DOESN'T EXIST(I ACTUALLY CAME TO THAT CONCLUSION BY MYSELF, UNLIKE ABOUT 95% OF YOU FUCKING RETARDS. NOW WHY DONT YOU GO TO CHURCH AND GIVE MORE MONEY TO "GOD" LIKE THEY SAY YOU ARE DOING). IF YOU SERIOUSLY THINK THAT TELLING ME IM A BAD PERSON BECAUSE OF THIS IS GOING TO MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON, THEN YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON. AND THE PEOPLE BITCHING ABOUT HOW GREAT REAGAN WAS, WELL, MOST OF THEM WERENT EVEN ALIVE WHEN REAGAN WAS IN OFFICE, SO THEY CAN ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP, STOP LISTENING TO WHAT THEIR PARENTS TELL THEM, AND TRY TO MAKE UP THEIR OWN FUCKING OPINIONS, GOD DAMN BRAINWASHED FUCKS! that being said, enjoy the movie
Join the Star Syndicate: http://s7.invisionfree.c
god i was a fucking prick when i wrote that comment. movie is still a classic in my eyes, though
you arethe masta at everything
I must say you arte going on ym favorite authors list. BTW I'm methodist and we're like the only for of christianity that does give money. lol. but hey you rock my socks and so do your flashes.
works for me
This didn't get turnd due to being insulting
It got turd because it sucks. You have a one meg file for teh SONG. The rest is a repeating suck fest.
good, im glad you reviewed the movie and not reagan
you get 1 overall point for attacking a moronic president. the remaining 9 points are deducted for an extremely poor flash. i'm with you politically.
i didnt attack anyone, nor do i support or hate reagan as a president
A summary.
The single best part of the review below this one, is the irony in the multitude of spelling and gramatical errors, put forth by the christian. It sort of says: "I'm an under educated ignorant fuck who follows hype and doesn't "beleave" (*dies laughing*) in thinking for themself."
If I were "formal" President Reagan, I'd smile knowing the the freedom of press and free speech were still being protected. At that the opinions of the masses were still allowed to be voiced, and not controlled by the popular views.
After all.. Freedom of Religion, Choice and Speech is what made the United States so infamous.
However. If I were Reagan, I would have said the movie stinks. =)
if reagan said that i would agree with him
I don't see anything that is related to ronald reagan, but if you are religious (beleave in God, the one who created all!!!) than maybe (don't take this the wrong way, and nothing personal) you should watch your mouth for saying such language. I probabily know how frustrating it is with the viewers (not that I don't like Reagon {And everyone PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY!!!}) Ronald Reagon was an excellant formal president, and hopfully he will be remembered in life.
i dont think god gives a fuck what i say

Time changing, date remains correct
At night, when I power down my Vista desktop, the time gets changed to the wrong time, but the date remains correct. Could this still be the CMOS battery?
Thanks |
My System Specs |
14 Sep 2012 | #2 |
Hello Vincenzo,
It could be either a dead CMOS battery or the time not set correctly in your BIOS settings. In addition, double check to make sure that you have the correct time zone and Daylight Savings set for your location. Hope this may help, Shawn |
My System Specs |
18 Sep 2012 | #3 |
In the BIOS the date was one day behind, the clock a few hours behind. I reset both, then the next day Windows time was off again. BIOS date was still correct, BIOS time was off.
Time zone and DST are correct in Windows, didn't see them in BIOS. If it was the CMOS battery, wouldn't the date reset itself too? Thanks |
My System Specs |
18 Sep 2012 | #4 |
The date will take a 24 hour offset before it would change, so a bad CMOS battery could be the cause.
My System Specs |
18 Sep 2012 | #5 |
Time zones don't apply to the BIOS. You need to manually set the time/date there according to your local t/d. Normally, with a dead or failing CMOS battery, the t/d will reset itself to show the time and date when the BIOS software version was installed. Since this isn't happening, it is unlikely to be a bad battery (although you could replace it as a matter of course, they're not expensive).
You could check to see if you are indeed using the correct time zone, as there are several that use the same offset from GMT/UST, but which have local variations (such as dates of operation). In addition, check that you are not 12hrs out, as this is not always obvious especially when using the 12hr system. Finally, consider changing to another time server for your internet time. |

Ya know i know of a lot of other ways we can utilize the (trading points) feature but my ideas are all Graphic based. such as SENDING points to a person for a certain Tutorial or people can sell tutorials for a certain amount of points. Sell PSD's for certain points ya know. ( i know of a forum that does this and works very well)
..:Open Your Wings Evil Angel:..
....Player Killer....??* "There is nothing to fear but F.E.A.R. it self -(F.E.A.R) " ??*
Yea also it will be alot more fun. im exited to see what othre features DB will add to the credit system at least what we can buy with it.
..:Open Your Wings Evil Angel:..
It is niece to see the credit point thing back. How many credit points would one need in order to get an AO t-shirt?
ps; By the way i was hoping to get some donations from those that have over a thousand credit points, i really do need them badly. Thanks in advance for those good hearted members that are willing to help these brother in need, thank you all.
Too bad there's no 100 million credit to redeem for a hitman that helps off someone you don't like on the site :P
Usually, anything new this site gets will always have some people complaining about it. Nothing so far, so I suppose it is a great move.
'Cause you give me something / That makes me scared, alright / This could be nothing / But I'm willing to give it a try / Please give me something
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart
Ya ive noticed that also. there havent been any complaints. it looks to me like its smooth sailing all the way huh
..:Open Your Wings Evil Angel:..
well this sounds like a good idea
and the only suggestion i could have is credit rewards for contests with or without other stuff

Trotters tie up Weiss swoop
25 Jan 2010 - 13:28:29
Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Manchester City midfielder Vladimir Weiss on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old Slovakia international has made just a handful of first-team appearances for the Citizens, but Trotters boss Owen Coyle is expecting big things of Weiss.
He told his club's official website: "He is a very positive player. He is a player who likes to get at full-backs, who likes to get crosses in and shots in.
"He is the type of player that I want at the football club - one that excites the fans. I also believe there is an edge to his game and a quality that will help the ones we already have.
"The fact that he has a chance of going to this year's World Cup finals shows just how much ability he possesses."

Lots of people are expecting it, but there has been no official announcement yet. Since that probably means it hasn't even begun production, I would not expect a new FMP! season until at least some time next year.

It also gave us a "known" event in the anime for Sousuke to "flash back" too, when Kaname is kidnapped by Gauron during the plane hijacking arc. That was one of the reasons why he disobeyed orders and rescued her, because he had first hand experience (from the event) with what could happen to someone who was interrogated regarding Black Technology.

sorry if this question have already been asked and answer, but does anyone know if there's going to be a 4th season of FMP??? i've waited for another season to come out ever since TSR had ended. that was in my sophmore yr and now i'm going to be a senior. i'm still waiting.
also, for those who read the manga, how much do the anime follow the manga?? and where does the manga ends?? |

And the anime is based off something called a light novel, while the fmp manga is actually based off the anime itself. That said, the anime follows the light novels fairly close. To my understanding, most of the changes (including extra content) were made by the original creator himself, with a couple exceptions. As for your final question, the end of TSR represents the halfway mark of the entire FMP storyline. There's still a lot left to cover! |

I want to brew something today. I have a 1gallon IPA all grain kit that I could do or I have a 5gallon nut brown extract. What should I do? I have never all grain brewed before so I'm leaning towards that just cause its Sunday and I have the time. I have that itch, and you all know what I'm talking about.
Do the extract batch today because once you start all grain you may never get back to do the extract kit.
5G is going to take significantly longer than 1G, so I'd do that if you have the time.

50 feared dead as bus plunges into gorge in India
Published on Sep 4, 2014 6:54 PM
SRINAGAR, India (AFP) - At least 50 people were feared killed when flood waters swept a bus carrying a wedding party into a gorge in the mountainous Indian state of Kashmir on Thursday.
Police said rescue teams had been sent to the scene of the disaster, but heavy rains and the depth of the river were making it difficult to reach the victims.
"Rescue teams are there, including a column of the army," police inspector-general Rajesh Kumar told AFP.
"Airforce rescue helicopters are also ready, but heavy rains and a strong current in the stream make it difficult," he said, adding that some of the passengers on board might have escaped to safety.

Hi: Here is a wonderful site if you read French. Many Pinsonneault men belonged to the secret society known as "Les Patriotes." It originated in the Napierville area and was very strong in 1837 among the French-Canadians. The site has been recently reconstructed and so far I have not been able to find my favorite section: the narrative of the Iroquois Indians concerning this period. I have not found your Pinsonneaults among the documented testimonies, but here is the site anyway. http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/k14664/patriote.htm Kathleen A. Martin

NY to probe light problems on Champlain bridgeThe Associated Press | March 19,2013WEST ADDISON The New York State Department of Transportation plans to investigate why some of the lights on the new Lake Champlain Bridge to Vermont arent working.
The $76 million bridge opened late in 2011 after its predecessor at the same location was found to be unsafe.
The bridges lighting system includes 66 LED floodlights and 276 2-foot-long LED pedestrian lights on the handrails. Many are not working.
New York DOT spokesman Bryan Viggiani said the problem will be investigated this spring when its warmer so engineers can get onto the bridge and look at the wiring.
Its driver safety, for one, and visibility. Obviously these things are important lights. At some level it goes into the aesthetics of it as well, Viggiani said
Some people have complained on social media about problems with the new bridge, Vermont Public Radio reported.
The original bridge linking West Addison and Crown Point, N.Y., was demolished in December 2009. During the two years it took to build the new bridge, free ferry service was offered at the site.
The Transportation Department is committed to repairing the lighting problem, Viggiani said.MORE IN Vermont NewsOrganizations that represent teachers and school boards disagree on a proposal that would force...

Sparky Tarvek makes me happy |
He doesn't get nearly enough chances to spark. I love how he transfers his grumbles about Gil to Gil's work, and he knows better now too--must be habit. And the parallel with Bang getting Gil what he needed is too cute for words.
And how do trousers protect your upper back and spine from breakage? Springs in the cuffs?

Re: Sparky Tarvek makes me happy |
Well, Gil's more of a mechanical Spark with just a little biology, while Tarvek's definitely more of a biological Spark who does some tinkering on the side (some of it rather inspired, I admit--Tinka & Moxana, Anevka, etc).
Given that, I was wondering how they were going to get out of that and if Tarvek was going to be able to pull something out of his...hat.

Re: Sparky Tarvek makes me happy |
Well, habit...but also getting shoved out of Castle Wulfenbach in a not-entirely-working flying machine while chained to Othar Trygvassen and then getting dumped with Vole, too, by a rather smug, irritating Gil. Circumstances can color your sense of another person quite a lot, and Gil's final grin and nabbing of the lab notebook can't have cheered Tarvek up in the least.
Gil IS quite a bit like Klaus, as when he's at his best he's often also at his most annoying to anyone but the audience.

If Gil ever finds out about Tarvek's motion sickness you just know that he's going to start coming up with excuses to force the group to zip around all over Europa in cute little bug shaped flying machines. Especially since it seems like bug themed things may be Gil's thing. This could be good!

Don't mistake Character Falibility for Authorial Falibility |
Just because Othar Trygvassen is a Gentleman Adventurer (and Spark) doesn't mean he's immune to confusing "a" and "an" when speaking a language other than his natal tongue.
(In the German that the professors have translated for our convenience, "für ein Abenteurer" when "für einen Abenteurer" is more correct.)

Indeed. So how again did Othar help? Seemed he was more of a hinderance than helpful.
It is as I thought, Othar is merely lucky, or at very least (most likely), under plot protection.
That is a problem, sadly. I mean, how can you really be concerned for a character if they are seemingly invincible? I wager Othar could be fired into the sun, and not even be slightly burned. Even worse, he is not the only character like that. If the Foglios need a character to survive, they will regardless of the punishment they go though. As a mater of fact, the more important the character, the more likely they will be put though the ringer, as if to mock the reader.
I hate to say this, but if the Foglios actually want to inject some tension or empathy back into this story, they are going to have to kill some characters off - and I mean important characters. Otherwise, this comic loses a lot of credibility.

Posted at: March 26th, 2012 03:33 pm (UTC)
Now, now, you're sounding like a pissy high school English teacher (barf!). Othar isn't a sympathetic character, he's comically repellant. The fact that he's basically a talking racket ball is part of the game. Polonius isn't a sympathetic character, either, he's a tiresome windbag. That doesn't make him unimportant.

Well no shit Othar is under plot protection - he is a Hero. The Foglios have lampshaded this repeatedly. It's a joke which is supposed to be funny, because this is a comic that mixes seriousness and levity and likes to affectionately parody the cliches of old-school science fiction.
Again: this comic is not Game of Thrones and is not supposed to be. You are assessing it by the standard of an aesthetic that the Foglios have never been aiming for. It's not a purely silly comic, but it isn't meant to be a hyper-realistic, super-serious political drama either. It's something in between, which combines elements of both. And I like it that way. The darker elements draw me in and make it possible to suspend disbelief, while the light elements keep it fun and not depressing. I can't stand stuff that's unrelentingly dark and gritty.

Interesting that it seems that my theory is proven right--Sparkiness does indeed involve getting mad--or at the very least, very very irritated. Seems GlaDOS was right--'Get mad!' :-)

When John Paulson & Co. bought up a bunch of Time Warner Cable shares last year, he hoped and prayed that Hank Hooper & Co. were thinking the same thing he was. They were, and now he's $200 million-plus to the good.
They were always the most logical acquirer. They are a perfect fit for Time Warner Cable. What you didn't know [before the deal was announced] was the appetite for Comcast to do a merger. That was the uncertainty but logic prevailed….
I would think it would be very attractive to hold Comcast post-merger as well. At the end of the day, the earnings-per-share and cash-flow-per-share should grow more for Comcast with Time Warner Cable than it would as just Comcast alone. That makes it very attractive to own.

"the earnings-per-share and cash-flow-per-share should grow more for Comcast with Time Warner Cable than it would as just Comcast alone"
Minus the huge capital/equity outlay to get from point A to point B, the diminishing returns of the industry as a whole, the diminishing appeal of Comcast specifically, and the liklihood of becoming a magnet for regulatory action….seems find and dandy to me.

Try out and save effects with Photoshop Layer Comps
You can save different versions of an image using the Layer Comps panel, and then choose one later. You may want to try on effects by enabling visibility, position, and appearance of specific layers of that image. A common example would be where you want three or more versions of the same image; for example, one version may be black and white, one tinted, and one in full color.
With Photoshop Layer Comps you don't have to save three different images. Instead, as long as you save your changes in layers, you can save and compare each of these adjustments in the same image.
The beauty of Layer Comps is that when you save your document as a Photoshop document, you can always return to all your settings by returning to each of your saved Layer Comps. You may close the document and still return to all your settings later when you open the document. Layer Comps will remember some, but not all, of your modifications.
To start using Layer Comps, show the Layer Comps panel: from the Photoshop menu, choose Window -> Layer Comps.
With the Layer Comps panel in view, to save specific layer combinations, simply show and hide the layers you want in the Layers panel. With each variation, click the Create New Layer Comp button in the Layer Comps panel. The visibility of the layers will be saved just as you specified. Name each Layer Comp so you will know at a glance which set of layers will be viewed when you select them later.

petroleo brasileiro-spon adr (PJXA) Key Developments
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras, Q3 2014 Earnings Call, Jan 29, 2015
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (BOVESPA:PETR4) plans to sell assets, cut investments and probably delay dividend payments to face a credit crunch resulting from a massive corruption scandal.
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. reported unaudited consolidated earnings and production results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the quarter, the company reported sales revenues of BRL 88,377 million compared to BRL 77,700 million a year ago. Net income before financial results, share of earnings in equity-accounted investments, profit sharing and income taxes was BRL 4,584 million compared to BRL 5,723 million a year ago. Net income before income taxes was BRL 3,619 million compared to BRL 4,967 million a year ago. Net income attributable to shareholders of the company was BRL 3,087 million compared to BRL 3,395 million a year ago. Net cash provided by operating activities was BRL 23,567 million compared to BRL 14,358 million a year ago. Capital expenditures and investments in operating segments were BRL 20,129 million compared to BRL 24,348 million a year ago. EBITDA was BRL 11,627 million compared to BRL 13,584 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was BRL 11,735 million compared to BRL 13,091 million a year ago. Basic and diluted earnings per share were BRL 1.03 compared to BRL 1.33 a year ago. The drop in operating profit is mainly due to costs related to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (BRL 1.0 billion), to the payment of the agreement with Bolivia to import natural gas (BRL 0.9 billion) and to the write-off of the projects Premium I and II (BRL 2.7 billion). For the nine months, the company reported sales revenues of BRL 252,220 million compared to BRL 223,862 million a year ago. Net income before financial results, share of earnings in equity-accounted investments, profit sharing and income taxes was BRL 21,009 million compared to BRL 27,327 million a year ago. Net income before income taxes was BRL 19,075 million compared to BRL 24,308 million a year ago. Net income attributable to shareholders of the company was BRL 13,439 million compared to BRL 17,289 million a year ago. Net cash provided by operating activities was BRL 47,281 million compared to BRL 45,434 million a year ago. Capital expenditures and investments in operating segments were BRL 59,606 million compared to BRL 65,929 million a year ago. EBITDA was BRL 43,030 million compared to BRL 48,452 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was BRL 42,330 million compared to BRL 47,413 million a year ago. Net debt was BRL 261,445 million for the period. The company reported impairment of BRL 306 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. The company expects 2015 domestic oil output to grow, with a target of 4.5% (+/-1 percentage point) above last year´s production. 2015 will be an extension of accomplishments in 2014, when the company added four new platforms that are now ramping up and increased PLSV fleet from 11 to 19 vessels. Therefore, output in 2015 will be sustained by the interconnection of 69 producing and injection wells, by the start-up of P-61/TAD (Papa-Terra field) in the first quarter and by the start-up of FPSO Cidade de Itaguaí (Iracema Norte field) in the fourth quarter. Consequently, the company expects to generate operating cash flow (after tax payments and before interest, dividends and amortizations) of between USD 28 billion and USD 32 billion in 2015. With regards to capital expenditures, it is reducing the pace of some projects, particularly those with low contribution to cash flow over the next two years, so that investments remain within USD 31 billion to USD 33 billion in 2015. Total exploration and production was 2,531 Mbbl/d in the third quarter against 2,383 Mbbl/d in the second quarter of 2014. Total exploration and production was 2,413 Mbbl/d in the nine months of 2014 against 2,314 Mbbl/d in the nine months of 2013.

Parquet Courts Are Inscrutably Awesome on 'Sunbathing Animal' (Which Does Not Sound Like Pavement)
- SPIN Rating:8 of 10
Label: What's Your Rupture?
Parquet Courts are tough lads to nail down. There are geographical inconsistencies at play: Denton, Texas-based band makes good in Brooklyn. There's lyrical obscurantism masking greater truths: "Death to all false prophets/ Around here we praise a dollar." There's a slacker ethos that at times seems little more than a feint, washed-out production values relegating the bass player to dusty stage corners, eight-minute drum machine stoner fables ("He's Seeing Paths") closing out five-song EPs (last year's Tally All The Things That You Broke). And then there's the band's sound, so alt-rock self-referential it sends music critics into reverie, a supposed apotheosis of indie rock's past and future, beholden to more post-punk scofflaws than any self-respecting record collector might ever hope to catalog, which is ok so long as noise-tune royalty Pavement gets top billing. Pavement, man. Even Stephen Malkmus spun some yarn about hearing a Courts number drift over the airwaves and thinking it was one of his own.
So let the record show that Parquet Courts no longer sounds anything like Pavement, if indeed they ever did (as if men with slopped-out guitars coolly declaiming egghead bursts of verse was ever the intellectual property of Stockton's finest). If 2012's Light Up Gold delighted those seeking short buzzbomb formalism heavy on gnarly hooks, Andrew Savage and Austin Brown have unveiled a more expansive take on said buzzbomb formalism: the "Americana punk" they once cited in interviews, interlaced with a scrappy dose of the blues. Right, the blues, as refracted through the drone sympathies of TX/NY Frank Zappa fans, the thin amphetamine twitch of Pretty Things or Shadows of Knight or, I don't know, "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat," complete with a suck-and-blow harmonica solo on "She's Rollin'" and floating lyrics plucked from the delta mud: "Lady Macbeth, rock me mama/ Like my back ain't got no bone."
But there's really no whiteboy guitar prototype left untouched on these 13 cuts. "Always Back In Town" stomps around one of the dumbest surf-frug beach party grooves to have washed ashore since the Trashmen; "Dear Ramona" plinks and plonks over a so-straight-I'm-stoned Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers monotone; drummer Max Savage routinely reverts to primal boom-tat boom-tat boom-tat patterns as if he'd just had the concept of hardcore explained to him over the telephone; Savage/Brown (one of 'em, maybe both of 'em) at times adopt the wide-eyed faux surfer-jock mannerisms of dearly departed Flipper throatman Will Shatter.
One could go on at greater length. But these performances never surrender to the anxiety of influence: All those comparisons are mere reference points for a loose aesthetic that values sustained chordal vamps above all else. Consider title track "Sunbathing Animal," a four-minute gallop through an inspired thrash-mash of the Velvet Underground's "European Son" and "Bob Dylan's "115th Dream," fever-pitch bon mots and mock-profundities sloshing over the sides: "I've hung out at your service jobs!/ I do not miss the child you stole!/ I cannot slow the pace at which I yearn!" Communicating such blurry dictums requires real smarts, just as playing your instruments as if you're holding them upside down demands sustained focus. Which is to say nothing here is as tossed-off as it seems, neither the high-art signifiers nonchalantly chucked out the window like empty beer cans (Duchamp surfaces in "Black And White," "racing down the stairs, in a nude descension") nor lyrical tropes suggestive of notebook jottings and ideas scrawled onto forearms.
In fact, lyrics might be this outfit's secret weapon (go back and study the incisive "Careers In Combat" from Light Up Gold for proof of their political astuteness). With all the attention given over to what Silkworm riff the Courts may or may not be channeling on any given number, it's easy to overlook how sly and surreal their drive-by graffiti really is. They recoil from squalid flesh ("gushing, I can hear myself leak"; "what color is blood?"; "eaten and dried like skin"), speak conspiratorially ("like clicks heard on the telephone"; "all my letters are in codes"), mull over enclosed religious orders ("Folded and monk-like/ It's a vulgar, hidden part of being tethered to the world"), and sometimes just free associate ("Unalloyed joy/ I thrice repeat/ Unalloyed joy/ Unalloyed joy").
Nowhere is the bizarro genius of Parquet Courts more specific than on Sunbathing Animal's two lengthiest tracks, "She's Rollin'" and "Instant Disassembly." On the former, a deadpan recitation of mundanity gets imparted with the gravity of an origin myth: "She's rolling down a hill/ She's rolling down a hill/ And I can still see her when I close my eyes." The latter chimes along an elemental riff for seven minutes with the soulful weariness of (Dylan again) "Goin' To Acapulco," although the heartache being detailed ("You did your heart no favors, darlin'/ When you taught me to crawl") gets continually punctuated with "mamasita," drawled out like a gringo ordering Potato Olé's at the Taco John's. Since they're Texans, one supposes Savage/Brown know it's actually spelled "mamacita." Perhaps that's even part of the joke. It certainly fits in with their consummate charm. Let the rest of indie fuss over studio confectionary of the highest order. Parquet Courts are willing to let you suppose they're winging it. Or as they more poetically posit, "I've prepared my defense/ Flawed as ever, in the drunkest tense."

David dIcke Debunked in 19 Seconds
Poster Handle
Post Content
Icke presents info and opinions based on his own life experiences and realities.
Has Icke ever claimed to have an experience with an actual reptilian? He may have but as far as I know, he hasn't.
I think I mentioned it in this thread but when Icke's revelations were supposedly coming from channeled information that seemed more plausible to me then his evidence for the moon matrix and saturn-moon matrix theories, does he have any actual evidence for those things?
I know his moon matrix theory pretty well and in regards to it Icke claims that he got some kind of spiritual inspiration that told him that the moon was not what it seems to be but as far as I know he doesn't claim that he got such inspiration for the mooon matrix theory itself.
How do the moon matrix and saturn moon matrix come from Icke's "his own life experiences and realities" even remotely?
David dIcke claimed to be a prophet in 2006 (see the video below). Icke fits the definition of a charlatan because when someone has made multiple predictions that have failed to come to pass but they continue to call themselves a prophet, such as:
Icke claimed Saddam Hussein was dead 1991 (not 2006 when he actually died.)
"In defiance of Icke's predictions for the early 1990s, Cuba is still to be found on the map of the real world, New York City remains upright and the white cliffs of Dover are still standing."

The White House wants the Volcker rule—the centerpiece of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulation reform law—enacted by the end of the year. But it's running into resistance from one of President Barack Obama's own recent appointments.
The Volcker rule is designed to bar banks from proprietary trading and strictly limit their alternative investments activities. But as far as newly-minted Securities and Exchange Commission member Kara Stein is concerned, as presently written, it doesn't go far enough.
Stein, who joined the SEC in August, is threatening to vote against the current rule, which she believes is too full of loopholes, The Wall Street Journal reports. If she follows through on that threat, SEC Chairman Mary Jo White will not have enough votes to pass it; both of the SEC's Republican commissioners have pledged to oppose it.
Stein, a former Senate staffer, was involved in many aspects of crafting Dodd-Frank, and fears that the proposal is at odds with the purposes intended by Congress. In particular, she is concerned that the rule doesn't define clearly the hedging exception to the prop. trading ban. During the negotiations among regulators to write the rule, the SEC struck out a requirement that hedges be "reasonably correlated" with other holdings.
Stein wants that language back in the rule, as well as a requirement that bank CEO pledge to comply with it.
Stein's position is supported by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), two of the rule's main backers in Congress, according to the Journal.
Gary Gensler, the outgoing chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, reportedly agrees with Stein that the proposed rule doesn't go far enough on limiting prop. trading.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew yesterday urged regulators to complete the rule by the end of the year.
"The processes cannot go on forever," Lew said. And he gave Stein and Gensler some ammunition, urging regulators to "err on the side of doing a little more, and then correct it if you've gone too far."

The state Senate confirmation process is often perfunctory, but on the nomination for insurance commissioner, senators are doing their due diligence. They recognize the high stakes for South Carolina, particularly in the coastal region. Putting tough questions to nominee Ray Farmer is a good place to begin.
So far, Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, has taken the lead, raising questions about the profits enjoyed by insurers doing business in South Carolina. He pegged that return at 20 percent, fairly contending that figure alone demonstrates a market disconnect.
Its a problem that the states rate-payers should expect the next insurance commissioner to address.
Ive got some serious questions whether the rates that consumers are paying are commensurate with the risks that insurers are assuming, Sen. Davis says.
He says that a 2007 legislative initiative to encourage market reform of the insurance market for coastal wind risks clearly failed to achieve its goal.
The next insurance commissioner can play a reform role by encouraging more consumer involvement in the decision-making process.
Sen. Davis cited initiatives in Alabama and Texas that provide Web-based information toward that end. Id like to see the consumer become more informed, more aggressive, he says.
The highly competitive auto-insurance market should serve as an example for the larger industry, the senator adds.
The shortcomings of the homeowner insurance market were explored last year in a Post and Courier investigatory series by reporter Tony Bartelme. His findings cited the industrys use of privileged information to raise rates without adequate state oversight or challenge. Mr. Bartelmes series should be required reading for state lawmakers.
Another resource for the Legislature is retired telecommunications executive Daryl Ferguson of Beaufort, who has spent thousands of hours scrutinizing the states insurance system, with an eye to cutting the high cost to homeowners.
What Mr. Ferguson told legislators last week should have gotten their attention: This is a catastrophe for the state. Were paying some of the highest rates and the insurance industry is making exorbitant profits.
The confirmation process is expected to continue this week, with senators lining up to question Mr. Farmer on other aspects of the system, including health insurance and the potential effects of Obamacare.
The senators are right to get an idea of Mr. Farmers views of the industry and particularly his recommendations for improvements designed to benefit hard-pressed consumers.
It will inform their confirmation vote, and provide direction on pending legislative efforts to improve regulation and oversight of an industry that affects nearly every citizen in South Carolina.

Alonso: Ferrari will have to raise its game
Scuderia Ferrari
Fernando Alonso says his Ferrari team will have to raise their game as soon as possible if they are to close the gap to their rivals.
Ferrari is third in the constructors' championship ahead of this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix, with Alonso having finished both races this season in fourth place.
Alonso insists that Ferrari has made strong progress since the final pre-season test at the circuit one month ago, but reckons the team still needs to work on the top speed of the F14T.
"Since the last test in Bahrain, we have made a big step forward in terms of the interaction between the electrical motor and the combustion engine," he said. "Everyone now has a...

The coalition Ronald Reagan assembled of fiscal and economic conservatives, evangelicals, and national-security advocates has always been dominated by the social issues at the grassroots level. While free-market economic conservatives lived in New York and dutifully attended their Club for Growth meetings and national-security types inhabited Washington, the Republican social conservatives dominated the grassroots of the party. They alone could turn out the numbers to rallies and to the polls on primary or Election Day.
Now, all that has changed. It is the fiscal conservatives and free-market supporters who own the Republican streets. Through the Tea Party, they have come to dominate the grassroots of the GOP. It is as if an invisible primary were held for supremacy at the grassroots and the Tea Party won.
Along with this change has come a shift in what it takes to turn the litmus paper red enough to win Republican primaries. It used to be that abortion, gun control, and gay marriage were the hot-button issues, and anyone straying from orthodoxy was targeted in the primary and handicapped in the general election by a lackluster turnout. Now, a candidate's social positions rarely even come up. It is fiscal and economic purity that rules the day. Anyone who voted for cap-and-trade is targeted in the primary. And there is no place for a candidate who ever backed a tax increase. Every candidate has to sign the no-tax pledge that Grover Norquist formulated for Americans for Tax Reform.
Where Republican politicians were once terrified to move to the left on social issues, they are now more frightened of retribution for departures from fiscal orthodoxy. The once-elitist demands of the Club for Growth are now echoed throughout America by the surging Tea Party movement.
A recent Wall Street Journal poll found that 71 percent of all Republicans regarded themselves as Tea Party supporters, far more than would identify themselves as pro-life or opposed to gay marriage.
This shift in Republican priorities is opening up the way for social moderates and libertarians to back Republican candidates in the 2010 elections. The libertarian strain in the American electorate has long been neglected by the mainstream media. But, through the Tea Party, it has gained ascendancy on the right. Those who want the government to stay out of both boardrooms and bedrooms have come to dominate the party and its nominating process.
Ironically, this change in the Republican grassroots has come at a time when abortion is falling into disrepute and larger numbers of Americans report themselves as being pro-life. This swing of voter sentiment might reflect the growth of the evangelical community of believers or simply the aging of the baby-boomer population. But even as the right to lifers move toward a national majority, their clout at the grassroots level of the Republican party is waning.
But despite this growing support for pro-life policies, no Republican candidate is basing his or her insurgency against an incumbent Democratic congressman, senator, or governor on social issues. There are no ads urging the ouster of a Democrat for his pro-choice policies or backing of gay marriage. All the ads and the rhetoric are devoted to fiscal transgressions like support of the stimulus package, the TARP bailout, or Obamacare.

David Letterman and Oscar Isaac Show the First Clip From 'Star Wars: Episode 7'
Well...not really. But, David Letterman couldn't help but bust Oscar Isaac's chops.
Well...not really. But, David Letterman couldn't help but bust Oscar Isaac's chops.
Don't tell Steve Guttenberg, but police academy begins again next week in the form of Battlefield Hardline's open beta.
The biggest sporting event in America will be the venue for the biggest surprise.
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KLIX)- A semi-truck blocked parts of Highway 50 early Wednesday north of Hansen.
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KLIX)- Two New Mexicans were taken to the hospital after colliding with a semi-tractor trailer on Sweetzer Summit on Interstate 84.
Forget about the depth of the running game, the quality of the passing attack or the intensity of the defense. If you want to figure out who'll win the Super Bowl, watch this.
Look, when you produce 22 episodes a year, there are going to be some terrible episodes. Heck, it happens on 10- and 13-episode seasons as well. It happens all the time, even on the best of shows. Even 'Lost' produced "Stranger In A Strange Land," an episode devoted to Jack Shephard's tattoos, kites, and Bai Ling. 'Lost' is one of my favorite shows of all time, and that's one of the worst episodes of television that I intentionally watched. So saying "The Sound And The Fury" was awful doesn't mean 'The Flash' is suddenly awful. It just means the show had a bad week, the equivalent of Barry Allen tripping over something at supersonic speed and then tumbling into a brick wall. Everything's fine, except for this episode.
I know it seems a little early to talk about kindergarten but, some schools are already beginning enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year.

Quinton Rampage Jackson and Matt Hamill at UFC 130
The UFC 130 weigh-ins took place Friday afternoon at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Matt Hamill took over main event status when Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard both had to withdraw due to injury. Both Jackson and Hamill weighed in at 205 pounds on the nose.

There hasn't been a lot of animosity leading up to this fight, but when Hamill said recently that he was looking to break Jackson's will, it fired up the former UFC light heavyweight champion.
"That really motivated me to train extra hard," Jackson told UFC commentator Joe Rogan after weighing in. "I was already training hard for Matt because it's been a while since I knocked anybody out. I'm ready to put on a great show for you guys and get a knockout."
Hamill comes into this fight the underdog. He's not currently ranked in the Top 10, while Jackson has been entrenched in the Top 5. He knows what this fight means for him.
"It's a big opportunity for me. Help me boost my career," said Hamill. "I promise you one thing, it's gonna be a good fight. Let's do it."
Co-main eventers Frank Mir and Roy Nelson, friends outside of the cage, both hit the scale at 260 pounds, which doesn't often happen in a heavyweight bout. The winner likely moves into the No. 2 contender slot in the UFC heavyweight division.
Number four ranked welterweight fighter Thiago Alves, who has battled weight issues in the past, had no trouble on Friday, tipping the scale at exactly 170 pounds thanks to his nutritionist, Mike Dolce. He meets Rick Story, who also easily made weight, in a bout that has fireworks written all over it, at least if their intense staredown is any indication.
Former Sengoku middleweight champion Jorge Santiago and former WEC light heavyweight titleholder Brian Stann easily made weight for their middleweight showdown, which will open the UFC 130 pay-per-view broadcast.
