Ernst fires 6-under 65 in first round
Updated: July 12, 2010, 8:59 PM ETAssociated Press
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Derek Ernst from UNLV shot a 6-under 65 for a one-shot lead on John-Tyler Griffin of Georgia Tech after the first round of the U.S. Amateur Public Links on Monday.
Ernest, a 20-year-old from Clovis, Calif., made nine birdies at Bryan Park Golf and Conference Center, five during an eight-hole stretch on the back nine.
The rising junior had bogeys on the first two holes and another on No. 18.
Griffin, a senior from Wilson, N.C., had his lone bogey on the 14th ...

The notion of "Al Qaeda" is a Zionist myth. There is no credible evidence that OBL or the Taliban were involved in Operation 911. There is plenty of evidence that 911 and many other false-flag operations were orchestrated by the Mossad and its associates. "The Economist" is an endless source of amusing political fiction. If the publishers didn't have such a good cartoonist, no intelligent person would read your pompous nonsense other than to observe the tricks of insider trading and other financial crimes. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GlobalRelations/message/399http://youtube....
Over the past few years I have lost a lot of respect for the Economist. This article is a good example of why.The reporter has nothing to report. He has done no research, offers no facts to buttress his opinion. He cites no data to either support or contradict the theory that Al Qaeda is in decline. Instead, the article just mouths off and moves on.Very poor quality work. A waste of ink.
Al-Queda is defeating itself. Al-Queda is more a psychological phenomena than a political or religious one. It's actions have demonstrated again and again that it is a really just a collection of angry people, who have found in their ideology a justification to do angry things. Their philosophy, such as it is, is not really the point. And that anger will inevitably alienate any population under their control.Many in the Arab/Islamic world have sympathy for anyone who pokes a stick at America, but I think most are coming to realize that Al-Queda has no constructive answers.
I simply do not believe in the existence of a group called al-Qaeda. Yes there is most certainly a Taliban and a Hamas and a Hezbollah but an al-Qaeda no, no it's just smells too much like the invention of secondrater from Madison Avenue, Hollywood or the oval office. To an extent the Brits had it easy when it came to defining an enemy in N. Ireland and yet even there eventually they had a whole multitude of different mutually animus splinter groups to contend with. So no I simply cannot believe in a Bin Laden working as the general manager or chairman of a global terroristic business empire called al-Qaeda. And the very fact that even so reverent a publication as TheEconomist chooses to brazenly banter this risible premise around is proof enough of the dubbing down of our news outlets and of the growing gullibility of it's supposedly highly educated readers.
Of course, the analysis is very West-centered. The West will never accept responsibility for the damages (of every conceivable kind) it has caused around the world in the last 500 years. To name a few:1. Wiping out the native Americans from their own land2. Grabbing the Australian land mass from the aboriginal people3. Looting with impunity across Asia and Africa thus impoverishing several nations4. Slave Trade causing displacement of several million people5. Causing the extinction of several species of animals6. Irreparable atmospheric pollution7. 2 World wars (in order to kill one another when they got sick of spreading terror around the world)Of course now they want to judge everyone else including the Islamic terrorists whom they helped develop in the first place.
Shanky John,Please give the anti-colonialist pablam a rest and stop drinking the Kool-Aid. It is a childish ideology developed by our enemies attempting to weaken Western Civilization's resolve, so they can supplant the very position we now occupy; and the insipid self-loathing utopian, who views Western Civilization and the efforts of all those stupid "dead white men" consumed by the will to power as the source of all evil in the world, happily spreads this cancer through his own society, squandering a legacy built up over centuries and leaving future generations destitute. Western Civilization is one of the greatest accomplishments of humanity, despite some regrettable incidents. The fact is that NONE of your arguments would even make any sense without the standards Western Civilization has provided. These standards are a great legacy to humanity and are what must be preserved in this continuing struggle.

What you wrote, Exeplifies the Ignorant, Un-educated, Biased Anti-Muslim Attitudes out there.
I don't Know what Fairy-tale you've been reading, but everything you Stated is Utter Garbage.
How Dare you mention Bin Laden in the Same Sentence with the Prophet of Islam.
For your information, when the leaders of Mecca offered to make the Prophet their King, his Legendary Response was that if they Placed the Sun & Moon in the Palm of his hands in exchange for him abandoning his Faith, he Refused. In other words, they offered him the Kingdom of Earth and he turned it down.
Another indication that you have been immersed in Propaganda, is that the "Prophet" NEVER wrote a Damn thing. The Man couldn't read or write. Everything was dictated to The "Sahaba" (simmillar to the Apostles), and not one Sura was ever Replaced (as you so ignorantly point out).
I would Never Ever dignify Comments like yours with a Response. But I would advise you to go back to school. Read a Book or two, and then come back with a more Enlightened and Decent Comment.
Peace, Love & Respect.
I know The Economist likes to stir-the-pot, but it still irks me that Al-Qaeda's war on non-Islam is characterized by The Economist as "America's global war on terror". Why is that? The U.S. was attacked repeatedly by Al-Qaeda before it responded, and subsequently Al-Qaeda attacked and murdered people in London and Spain. It appears to me that while the U.S., and to a lesser extent the U.K. have confronted Al-Qaeda, the rest of the world appears to be asleep or taking the old "the U.S. and U.K. will take care of the problem so we can ignore it" attitude.
This is not "America's war" but America and the U.K. defending the free world against politico/religious nutters. Islamic/Arabic political and religious thought contain justificatons and lines of reasoning that are foreign to the rest of us, and have a very long history as this article outlines. I suspect that nutters will always be drawn to such thought when it justifies the violent tendencies and "makes it all right." We have to get used to the idea that we may have to defend ourselves against such people until Islamic governments learn to suppress these people and eliminate their safe-havens. That may take generations if ever.
Best regards
Nah-cool, you find the message of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. That message is a message of love and peace. Jesus also made no distinction between people, everybody was welcome but especially the poor and sick. His love was and is unconditional… In Islam, love is conditional, id est, only reserved for fellow Muslims. If you aren't a Muslim, you are considered a Kaffir or even worse. I prefer the Message of Jesus Christ.When did the crusades take place? Almost a millennium ago. We live in the present, nah-cool :-) And why did the crusades take place? Syria, Anatolia, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, etc … were all Christian countries which were attacked, conquered and pillaged by Arab Muslims, starting in the seventh century AD. Does it surprise you that the Christians tried to hit back? Especially when the Muslims invaded Spain and France where they were routed by Charles Martel in the Battle of Poitiers. By the way, what were the Arab Muslims doing in Spain, France, Italy (where they pillaged the Benedictine monastery of Monte Casino in 883 AD), … ? Defending themselves? What do you think? If I had more time I would write you a paper concerning the surrender of Mecca to Muhammad, but you can as easily look that up for yourself in a library. What happened in a few words is that after the Meccans declared the truce of Hudaybiyya null, Muhammad prepared in Medina for a campaign, and marched on Mecca in 630, with an enormous force, said to have numbered more than ten thousand men. With minimal casualties, he took control of Mecca.
Dear Economist, Thanks for pandering the popular myth called 'the war on terror'. CIA funding of various terrorist organizations across the globe, during various times (including Saddam Hussein vs Iran (before US' Shah was overthrown), the Taleban/Mujahideen vs Soviets), is conveniently forgotten. You say the past is the past is the past. I say, look at who started the black ops promoting warlords that cultivate opium in Afghanistan, its not a four letter word but a three-letter acronym.Terror is never the enemy. It is a symptom of lingering discontent; stoked by the powers that be, when the time warms to suits their ends.
Peshawar was the birthplace of Al Qaeda?
The second the world found oil in the Arabian Peninsula was the birth of Al Qaeda.
From the Phillipines to Morocco, the Saudi Royal Family has done more for terrorism than its wayward son Osama Bin Laden.
I think your representation map of the Muslim "homeland" is a little over-generous. To see the old Christian kingdom of Ethiopia and the avowedly Buddhist southern Burma made part of this might come as quite a surprise to the inhabitants of both areas.
The fact that the U.S. pre-emptive strike against other countries (while spewing the propaganda that Muslims were the cause of the 9/11 tragedies) is not counted on the graph as terrorism; how can anyone properly argue the numbers or definition of what is terrorism?

"The only thing I have to add is that please look at the map of global Muslim populace. The hotbeds of Islamist extremism are the poorest countries as Economist points out ''the ungoverned, undergoverned and ungovernable areas of the Muslim world''. Poverty breeds almost all the evils known to human race, terrorism is one of them."
Point taken except that the bin Laden family was one of the wealthiest families in the world. Zawahiri and many of his like were churned up in the professional colleges like law, engineering and medical school by the Egyptian Brotherhood. So was some of the Hamas creators that are now dead. The pawns, the muscle guys usually come from poverty but the real terrorists, the masterminds typically come from wealth and power and use Islamic extremism to push the susceptable poor into blowing themselves up.
Notice both bin Laden and Zawahiri are still alive for all their talk these many years about dying for Allah.
Al Qaeda its own worst enemy? It was doing just fine around the world until it picked a fight with the U.S. military. And it had been committing atrocities against Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Once it started getting smashed, then its stock began to tumble. Turns out America was AQ's worst enemy.
ShankyJohn,I have no trouble facing up to the sins of my ancestors if my word choice were not the best, but unlike you I am also able to see the good Western Civilization has done. I do not waste my days waiting for a utopian world to emerge. What research do you want me to do to support my claim that Western Civilization is a great accomplishment and not solely a rapacious destructive force? The great human accomplishments of Western Civilization are all around us. Have you stood in the Sistine Chapel, read Shakespeare, studied Classical Greece, lived in a world free of Communism, been alive when the economic conditions almost everywhere in the world have improved to an unprecedented degree, and applied the ideas of transcendent morality and rights based around the sanctity of the individual to political life? I will not engage in pointless self-flagellation that leaves us prostrate before the world; I refuse to dismiss Western Civilization as a plot by "stupid dead white men" motivated by the will to power; and I will confront those who attempt to denigrate what is truly one of the great achievements of humanity.
You have a selective view of history, dear riohat. Why are you afraid or ..(?).. to talk about the bad things that happened in Islam's history? I mentioned the pillage of the Benedictine monastery of Monte Casino in Italy in 883 AD. What's your response to that? Do you call that normal relationships? And what about the piracy of the Barbary States from North Africa from 1500 till 1820 AD? Capturing Christian ships and raiding Christian villages and making slaves of the Christians they captured is not my idea of good relationships, especially because the justification behind those acts was… they are infidels, we can do with them as we like because Muhammad said so. Six million Christians were put into slavery during those centuries. Do you call that respect? If you want respect, you have to give respect. Calling all non-Muslims, infidels or kuffars and considering them as third class human beings is not an act of respect. Not giving equal rights to Muslim women and calling non-Muslim women, whores, even by Muslims in Western democratic countries, isn't an act of respect or being civilized either. And thinking that Islam is the only true religion is a source for chronic conflict with other cultures, as can be seen throughout history up 'til present day… Wherever Islam came into contact with other cultures there was and is conflict. The solution is simple. Only when Muslims can see and accept that Islam is not "the" religion, but just "a" religion, like other religions, and that religion and politics don't go together, only then there will be peace. How can they do that? Read the Message of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. His Message is a Message of unconditional love and peace. PS:The best way to get to know Muhammad is to read the Quran and the Hadith, instead of a book by Karen Armstrong who tends to maintain a diplomatic silence when it comes to the condition of women in many Muslim societies.
The worst effect Mr. Osama Bin Laden has had on his people is to make them the hidden enemies among us.Today a Muslim is viewed with suspicion and fear.Osama has given law enforcement authorities in the non-Muslim world a blank cheque to harass his people.I know of several Muslims who are facing real life problems due to this in their day to day living.They find it more difficult to get visas, more explanations are required when they are standing alone late at night somewhere, employment difficulties around the world and in their communities their activities are closely monitored.All this stems from the fear the man on the street has of Muslims, and the sad part of it, is that the average Muslim is well aware of it.When he targeted innocent people, the same innocent people have their ways of hitting back.This is his greatest contribution to his religion, and he needs to know the silent majority of his people are cursing the day he was ever born.
Idle hands breed desperate minds. For the most part the ME only has oil. Take out oil and then what? Millions more with nothing to do but get into trouble. I think we all know many acquaintances/friends that are so deeply frustrated with their own lives they put that angst into hating some individual, or some group for all their problems. The thing is these types in the US by and large are still able to pay their bills and put food on the table and so their threats never become real. When I think back to 9/11, I remember standing in the kitchen watching the buildings falling on t.v and thinking that whoever planned these attacks didn't care a bit about who was in those buildings which of course did include innocent Muslims as well. I have never bought the argument that only the west was the target. Does anybody recall the wedding party in Jordan that was bombed for reasons we will never know. I think that was the turning point for the "bad guys". Instead of being seen as global freedom fighters as many in the liberal media often liked to refer to them as, they became what many sensible human beings already knew them to be and that was killers and thugs.Al-Qaeda is like any young organization with a product to sell which in this case was global terrorism. Somebody is chosen to lead and many become the followers. The problem is some of those followers want to be doing the leading and thus begins the fracturing of any organization. I remember when Al-Qaeda decided it would be fun to behead those they captured. I remember thinking how long will they be able to find recruits that are sick enough to do the job. As it turns out, not long. The leadership that chose that path made a grave mistake and eventually met his maker. There will always be the nutjobs like OBL, but the only answer to minimize their influence is to take away the followers. The followers must have something better to do such as becoming a plumber, a cook, a teacher, etc. If asked to choose between being paid to be a terrorist and becoming a firefighter, I will bet most will pick the latter. It is the governments of many of these countries with high unemployment that have grossly let their people down.
I would like to share the results of a research report on this topic: http://www.humansecuritybrief.info
According to this tudy, prepared by a Canadian institution, terrorism around the world is actually declining.
Interestingly, the report notes that terrorism violence was actually more frequent in the 1970s than it is today.
Undoubtedly, definitional issues matter quite a lot. If you label as terrorists the "insurgents" in Iraq, the picture might well be different.

How I have longed to see Catholic Social Thought liberated so that it can be offered to our Nation in this her great hour of need. As my dear mother was so fond of saying "Raise the Flag", it finally seems to be happening.

WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - The announcement that Jonathan J. Reyes, Ph.D. will serve as the new Executive Director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) sent joy into many hearts. Even though I do not personally know Dr. Reyes, I was numbered among them.
He served as the CEO of Catholic Charities and Community Services of the Archdiocese of Denver since 2009. His record of properly applying the real Social Teaching of the Catholic Church was evident. His founding of Christ in the City, work with Regina Caeli Catholic Counseling Services and Lighthouse Women's Care Center and the Guadalupe Community Assistance Center, all make clear he "walks the talk". His service to the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) confirms that he lives the mission of the New Evangelization.
His time in the Catholic Academy, including both his service at Christendom College and his co-founding and subsequent leadership of the Augustine Institute, speak volumes. Both institutions are clearly faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and produce wonderful "living stones" (1 Peter 2:5) for service to the Church and the world into which she is sent in this new missionary age. This man is a treasure at just the right time for the US Catholic Church.
On the day I read of this important appointment, I also read Archbishop Chaput 's wide ranging interview with John Allen of the National Catholic Register. Of course, anyone who reads me regularly knows of my high regard for the Archbishop. He is a courageous champion in an hour of cowardice. We need as many like him as we can get.
The interview has received a lot of press coverage. It can be read in its entirety here. However, allow me to excerpt one part below:
"(John Allen) We're speaking on the night Barack Obama is delivering his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. Let me ask flat-out: Do you believe a Catholic in good faith can vote for Obama?
"(Archbishop Chaput) I can only speak in terms of my own personal views. I certainly can't vote for somebody who's either pro-choice or pro-abortion.I'm not a Republican and I'm not a Democrat. I'm registered as an independent, because I don't think the church should be identified with one party or another. As an individual and voter I have deep personal concerns about any party that supports changing the definition of marriage, supports abortion in all circumstances, wants to restrict the traditional understanding of religious freedom. Those kinds of issues cause me a great deal of uneasiness.
"(John Allen) What about the wing of the church that says a party that supports the Ryan budget also ought to cause concern?
"(Archbishop Chaput) - Jesus tells us very clearly that if we don't help the poor, we're going to go to hell. Period. There's just no doubt about it. That has to be a foundational concern of Catholics and of all Christians. But Jesus didn't say the government has to take care of them, or that we have to pay taxes to take care of them. Those are prudential judgments.
"Anybody who would condemn someone because of their position on taxes is making a leap that I can't make as a Catholic. ... You can't say that somebody's not Christian because they want to limit taxation. Again, I'm speaking only for myself, but I think that's a legitimate position. It may not be the correct one, but it's certainly a legitimate Catholic position; and to say that it's somehow intrinsically evil like abortion doesn't make any sense at all.
"(John Allen) - That said, do you find the Ryan budget troubling?
"(Archbishop Chaput) - The Ryan budget isn't the budget I would write. I think he's trying to deal with the same issue in the government I'm dealing with here locally, which is spending more than we bring in. I admire the courage of anyone who's actually trying to solve the problems rather than paper over them. I think a vigorous debate about the issues, rather than the personalities, is the way through this problem. It's immoral for us to continue to spend money we don't have. I think that those persons who don't want to deal with the issue are, in some ways, doing wrong by putting it off for their own political protection or the protection of their party."
Wow! How I have longed to see Catholic Social Thought liberated so that it can be offered to our Nation in this her great hour of need. As my dear mother was so fond of saying "Raise the Flag", it finally seems to be happening.
It is time to take the truths and principles offered in Catholic Social Teaching out of the rarified academic debates in which they do little practical good and offer them as yeast for the quickly collapsing loaf of American culture. I hope this appointment, along with the comments from Bishops like Cardinal Dolan and Archbishop Chaput signal that the liberation of Catholic Social Thought is underway.
It is time to wrest these principles from the camp of some on the political left who have wrongly used them as proof-texts for their social engineering efforts. It is time to offer them to any on the right who have failed to place the human person at the center of all considerations in their dalliance with libertarianism. Both left and right teeter on the brink of losing an authentic humanism which affirms the primacy of the person, the family and the common good.
The truths and principles offered by Catholic social teaching are neither left nor right. They are truly human and critical for our efforts to build a truly just and human society together. The application of the principles can also require the exercise of prudential judgment.
For example, as Archbishop Chaput noted, agree or disagree with Paul Ryan's exercise of his prudential judgment - and his proposed legislative solutions to the current fiscal crisis- he does exactly what a Catholic in public service should do with the Social Doctrine of the Church.
The Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church confronts what Pope Benedict properly called the "Dictatorship of Relativism" even before he assumed the Papal office. It insists there are unchangeable truths which are revealed by the Natural Law, can be known through the exercise of reason and should inform the social order in every just society.
At the foundation of these truths is the dignity of every human person at every age and stage. To be Pro-Life is NOT to be "single issue" in your political positions; it is about having a world view. It is the dignity of the human person which requires a respect for every human life whether that life be in the first home of the womb, a wheelchair, a jail cell, a hospital room, a hospice, a senior center or a soup kitchen.
Another one of these truths is that marriage is between one man and one woman, intended for life, and ordered toward the bearing and raising of children in the family. Marriage is not some social construct which can be redefined by courts or legislatures. It is the foundation for family and family is the first society, first church, first school, first economy, first government and first mediating institution. The first community which humanizes and civilizes all of us is the family.
Another is that all human persons created in the Image of God are created for relationship and called to human community. We can never fully experience human flourishing outside of social relationships. These relationships are perfective of our human person because we are by nature - and grace - made for these relationships. Catholic Social Thought does not begin with the individual but with the family. The social doctrine affirms our obligation in solidarity to one another. We are our brother/sister's keeper.
The social doctrine rejects a notion of "freedom" which begins and ends with the isolated, atomistic, person as the measure of its application. Authentic human freedom must be exercised within a moral constitution. We will only grow in freedom when we choose what is good and what is true. Otherwise "freedom" becomes a counterfeit and enslaves us, as individuals and as nations.
The social doctrine offers principles to help us order our economies. It does not propose any particular economic theory. It insists that every economic order be at the service of the human person, human freedom, human flourishing and the family. We are to give a love of preference to the poor, recognizing our solidarity with them. However, this call to solidarity is to be applied through the application of the principle of subsidiarity, rejecting all forms of dehumanizing collectivism, either of the left or the right.
The market economy has been affirmed in recent social teaching - when properly understood and morally structured. However, the Catholic Church stood against the materialism of the atheistic Marxist system and now properly cautions Nations which have adopted a form of liberal capitalism of the dangers of "economism" or materialism which promotes the use of persons as products and fails to recognize the value of being over acquiring.
The truths and principles contained within Catholic social doctrine are not merely "religious" positions, in the sense that only religious people need assent to them. They are revealed by the Natural Law and can be known through the exercise of reason. The truths are true for all people and for all time. The Church calls us to offer them as leaven to be worked into the loaf of human culture.
The appointment of Jonathan J. Reyes, Ph.D. to serve as the new Executive Director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Archbishop Chaput's interview both give me hope that the Catholic Social Teaching is being liberated - just in the nick of time.

This Minneapolis duo has been a team since their teens, when DJ Abilities left home and Eyedea's mom put him up in their basement, where their partnership flourished.
Eyedea began competing in battle rap competitions, taking top honors in the '99 Scribble Jam before he was18, and winning the HBO-sponsored Blaze Battle a year later. For several years, he and Abilities supported Atmosphere. Eyedea played Slug's hype man, engaging in a lyrically heated onstage sibling rivalry. It was a valuable apprenticeship.
With their '01 debut, First Born, Eyedea demonstrates there's more to his game than bravado, from the story of fractured childhood and parental bigotry ("Red Wiped in Blue") to the epistemological "Powdered Water Too," in which he raps, "We don't know the meal/We only know the menu that our brain tells us is real." The act's '04 follow-up, E&A, finds Abilities stretching his skills, and providing some truly sublime beats and sweet scratches. The whole affair is more polished and nuanced, from Abilities' backdrops to Eyedea's increasingly philosophical raps. They've spent the intervening couple of years working on side projects as well as some promised new material, though no album appears in the offing.

and now you know what albert is on the block...his salary demands have been out of whack...the chiefs didn't tag him just to get compensation in trade the salary demands are where the chiefs have the issue...and it's something that if this trade happens should concern miami fans...what exactly that contract extension looks like...
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
The longer this goes on the more leverage we have. The Chefs want to move on from Albert and thought they had a dance partner, but Fat Albert won't cooperate. If they draft one of the top 3 tackles they will still have the problem child who won't play RT or G for them, even at 9M for one year. At that point they have to change the pick or accept lower compensation, say a 3rd instead of #54. KC is screwed, they don't get their cheaper franchise LT and still have their problem child. There are good players to be had with that draft pick we were sending to the Chefs. If we don't move on one of the big 3 we can still find a T in the 2nd or 3rd.
he may just get JL $$ but it wont be from this team

There is only negative things I see on all the news about the debt of the US and how nobody in Congress can seem to agree on anything. They can't even agree to disagree. So with our debt crisis and Europe's shenanigans plus our economy.. Are we headed towards as serious collapse of our monetary system?? I mean obviously I can see it is coming, but is it happening faster then what I can see? I am just asking for some predictions on how fast this might come to light.

If the current Socialist in Chief is reelected in 2012, I expect SHTF within a year after that. He will destroy our Country's finances as he continues to push towards socialism. He's already done the major undermining with Obamacare and his other fiscal schemes. He and Holder and his socialist Supreme Court appointees will continue to undermine the Constitution, but will speed up the process. The DOJ, BATFE and Homeland Security will finally be able to really flex their power and I fully expect to see a Federal gun grab as well as land and personal property grab.
Apparently, many of us are already labeled as domestic terrorists, so I expect some form of censure. I expect the ACORN and OWS types and the radical left in general to become truly violent. The attacks on freedom and our way of life will go into a full assault mode and it will be violent and ugly.
Molon Labe!
And believe me when I say Im spending all my extra $$$ right now a few extra guns I could normally live without and ammo , doesnt matter if its just a box of 30.06 , .22 ,12 ga, .223 , .40 or 9mm each week it keeps stacking up one or 2 boxes at a time for the guns I currently own
In a nutshell:
i got rid of 90% of my us currency turned it into property of one sort or another. mainly guns and land. i got rid of my debt as well. i own everything straight up and what things i owed on i got rid of.
i have one credit card that has a 600$ limit for online purchases that my wife and i use. if we dont have liquid cash we dont buy.
at some point its all gonna crash and those that have stocks and paper gold are going to be sucking wind. if your precious metals is just paper and not in your hand its worth the paper its printed on.
when the fighting dying and crying is done if im still alive or my wife is we can convert some of our holdings back into whatever passes for currency.
to things are going to happen. either we get enough people elected who will cut the living sht out of entitlements, stop spending, and repeal everything the us presidents and congress has done since theodore roosevelt left office (.000000000000001% of that happening) or we elect someone like romney or gingrich or obama along with useless congress slime and senator slime that will just pay lip service to reforms and changes and continue the current path with slight deviations (99.999999999999999% of that happening) and the nation's economy collapses in 5 years leading to a civil war between the workers (us) and the work nots (ows) types
basically it will be a war between the liberal types who think they shouldnt have to pay their way and everyone else.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
I think you right about people like us being named DT's. If so I would be a cell leader just because of what I believe in. As far as the anointed one (haha) being reelected.. I really don't think it'll matter who's elected.. It's just the same Sh!t different day. Only thing different is the viscosity of it.

Araujo Estate Syrah Eisele Vineyard 1999
Syrah/Shiraz from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Enormously complex and distinctive, this Syrah has aromas of blackberry, licorice, pomegranate, dark chocolate, smoked meat, orange zest, potpourri and an exotic wild streak of toasted coconut. On the palate, a steely mineral exterior is intertwined with cassis, flowers and ripe plum. The ripe creamy tannins are mouth filling, silky smooth and sappy, and the flavors linger on.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 1999 Syrah Eisele Vineyard (a blend of 94% Syrah and 6% Viognier) boasts an opaque ruby/purple color along with gorgeous, complex aromatics of melted asphalt, graphite, blackberry liqueur, coffee, and a hint of pepper. This full-bodied Syrah reveals surprising freshness, finesse, and elegance despite its size. The wine is long, rich, and French in style."
Wine Spectator - "Rich and intense, with complex, focused mineral, berry, leather, tobacco, white pepper and cedary notes. Concentrated, with a sense of elegance and polish."
International Wine Cellar - "Red-ruby. Flamboyant aromas of black raspberry, Cuban tobacco, animal fur, flint, mocha and tar. Very dense and intensely flavored, with firm but harmonious acidity giving shape to the flavors. Tight but sweet on the finish, with a note of graphite. The percentage of new oak has gone down steadily since the first vintage in 1994 and is now 50%. The wine's 6% viognier component serves 'to open the wine, to broaden it,' says winemaker Francoise Peschon."

Araujo Winery
Since 1971, some of California's most ageworthy and intensely-flavored Cabernet Sauvignons have been made from grapes grown at the Eisele Vineyard, located on a benchland near the northern end of Napa Valley, just east of Calistoga. Protected by the Palisades Mountains to the north and cooled by westerly breezes from the Chalk Hill Gap, this 38-acre vineyard is planted on warm cobbly soils that produce a low-yielding crop of exceptionally concentrated fruit. Bart and Daphne Araujo acquired the Eisele Vineyard in 1990, and committed to producing only wines of the highest caliber and distinction. Araujo Estate produces 4 wines each vintage: Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard, Altagracia, Syrah Eisele Vineyard and Sauvignon Blanc Eisele Vineyard. View all Araujo Wines
About Napa Valley
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Sektor 9 Part 2, Scene #01
Hot House Video
- 6.6/10
Brenn Wyson awakens in Sektor 9 to find himself completely immobilized, wrapped in a heavy-duty cellophane cocoon, with a ball-gag in his mouth. Aggressive top-man Jimmy Durano takes advantage of his captor by shoving his fat uncut cock down Wyson's throat before cutting open the bottom half of the cocoon and beating the submissive man's ass. Unmoved by Wyson's cries, Durano leaves quite a hand print on his big white ass then steps up and fucks him hard. Durano fucks a load out of Wyson then shoves his face in it and orders him to lick it up. To further humiliate the now exhausted Wyson, Durano wraps his face in the shrink-wrap and shoots his own load all over him.

Small contemporary bathroom complete
As part of a whole-house remodel, we turned a small downstairs half bath into a full bath and added some features that we hope will allow us to remain in our current house as we age over the next 20 years or so. We put in a grab bar in the shower and blocked other areas for future grab bars. The toilet paper holder is also a grab bar - Moen brand, my contractor who installed it said it was the best bath hardware he'd ever installed. The shower is curbless with no shower door. We'll eventually add a shower curtain when we start using it - for now, we have a shower upstairs in the master bath that we use.
Floor tile is Natif Ambra, tile behind the toilet is Tokyo Wenge, wall tile in the shower is Yakarta Wenge, all from Porcelanosa.

Another bathroom star! Beautiful tile selections. What about the toilet, are you glad you put this in? What about access in the future? I know those regular tank toilets have to be looked into now and then, as the flapper doesn't close and water runs until it is either repositioned or replaced. I would love to have a toilet like yours but don't know how they work. I would hate to have to tear out a wall for the occasional maintenance issue, (or is there a secret entrance?)
kmcg, enduring and treasuretheday, thanks for your nice comments. It's hard to take pictures of such a small space. Some of the potential shower area was taken up by a niche in the hallway just around the corner (not quite finished yet). From Kitchen
My general contractor's plumber has installed many of these wall mounted toilets and has never had any maintenance issues with them. The tank is in the wall that separates the bathroom and the closet in the office/bedroom next to it.
Here's the rough-in of the wall mounted faucet and toilet. The wiring is for phone/cable/CAT6 in the adjoining office closet. From Downstairs Bath
I love your floor tile. Would you mind sharing the manufacturer and style? We put in a wall mount toilet and I have loved it (no more grimy crevices) but I do worry about repair issues; fortunately, ours backs up to a crawl space. Still....
The floor tile is Natif Ambra. It's sold by a lot of places and was relatively inexpensive. I used it on the floor in this bathroom, the laundry room and the upstairs hall bathroom.
cat_mom your kitchen was one of my early inspirations and I love your baths too!

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes have been forced to postpone the second leg of their joint tour because of a back injury Page suffered following a performance in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on August 12.
The postponement affects eight tour dates slated through an August 30 stop in Spring, Texas, and included concerts in Las Vegas, Denver, Dallas, and Sacramento, California, among others.
The Albuquerque show was the first show of the tour's second leg, and while Page apparently felt well enough to perform a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Wanton Song" with the Black Crowes for a taping of "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Monday afternoon, the decision to push back the other dates was made quickly thereafter.
According to a statement issued by tour organizers, Page isn't expected to be sidelined for too long, and he and The Black Crowes are hoping to reschedule the missed gigs prior to the launch of the tour's third leg on September
23 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
As part of the third leg, Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes will team up with The Who for a four-night stand at New York City's Madison Square Garden on October 3, 4, 6, and 7.
In happier news, The Black Crowes' Chris Robinson has become engaged to actress Kate Hudson, who appears in Cameron Crowe's new rock and roll film, "Almost Famous," based loosely on the filmmaker's experiences as a teen writer for "Rolling Stone" in the 1970s.
Hudson, who is the daughter of Goldie Hawn, revealed the engagement to MTV News while promoting "Almost Famous," but while she was wearing a large diamond ring bestowed on her by the singer, the actress said they don't plan on getting married for a while.
Publicists for The Black Crowes refused to comment on the engagement or suggest when the nuptials might be held, stating only that they "don't comment on their clients' personal lives."

Red Light Running Epidemic ► OpenPorter St And Connecticut Ave Nw Washington D.C., DC
I walk through this intersection on the eastern side of Connecticut every day to get to and from work. Without fail, 3+ cars will run the red light signal for the left turn onto Porter from Connecticut, and we pedestrians will get the right of way but they are still blazing through to catch the next traffic light. One time a police officer was stopped at the intersection when this happened, but he did nothing(!). I AM FED UP! I want DC police to ticket these drivers until they start respecting the red light - and pedestrian safety. Even better would be to setup a traffic camera that could catch them.· Reported by Christine (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged

I think related to this issue is how completely stupid the layout of this multi street intersection is. Not 10 meters past this light is the light for Quebec Street NW, which isn't even synced with Connecticut. As a result people speed through the yellow and red on Connecticut to get through Quebec. Other times drivers think they are getting a green on Connecticut, but they are actually seeing the green for Quebec immediately behind the first light!

Traffic Light Confusion ► Archived5th L, and New York Ave, Washington, DC
The timing of this intersection changes depending on the day. When the red light stops traffic on NY Ave, a green light appears to allow crossing of NY Ave, however sometimes the Southeast side of L St is given initial right of way (via a green light) to proceed through the intersection. If this happens, stopped traffic on 5th street heading north will see a red light at 5th and L but a green light at 5th and NY Ave. This is confusing and frequently traffic will run the red light at 5th and L when the traffic from L has green light. This needs to be clarified to prevent accidents, especially since this is a high pedestrian traffic area with the Safeway grocery store.· Reported by Nathan (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged
A Better Community (Registered User)
This intersection is a HUGE mess. The traffic signal lights are all a mess, least of all that walkers are given 20 seconds to cross a major, heavy traffic 4 lane road (NY Ave.)
With the addition of Chipotle on 5th Street added, the cluster traffic has tripled with illegally parked cars, cars parking in front of the fire hydrant, cars double parked, and cars U-Turning on 5th Street.
This area / intersection HAS to be addressed.
Mark (Guest)
It is very dangerous because you don't have enough time to cross safely but drivers never know when they can or can't go so people always go early predicting it is their turn so they can make it in time.
Closed Patti Garza (Registered User)
This issue somehow did not get assigned a tracking number from DC311. If you want them to do something you're going to have to report it again and they'll put a tracking number in the comments so we can track progress.

ABSTRACT: Since 2006, three studies have reported elevated levels of lead (Pb) among the indigenous population of the Corrientes river, in the Amazon basin of Peru. Due to the large evidence of environmental pollution related to oil exploitation in the area, this activity has been suggested as the source of exposure. This study aimed to evaluate Pb levels in the population and environment of two communities exposed and one community non-exposed to the oil exploitation activity. Blood lead levels (BLL) were determined by the instrument Leadcare. A comparison with the graphite furnace atomic absorption technique was performed in order to validate the Leadcare results. Environmental samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Among 361 capillary samples, the mean BLL was 9.4 μg/dl. Mean BLL of the communities exposed (n=171, x¯=9.5 μg/dl) and non-exposed (n=190, x¯=9.2 μg/dl) to the oil activity were not significantly different. Pb levels in environmental samples were below the maximum permissible levels. The sources of exposure could not be identified. Elevated levels of Pb in the oil-non-exposed community pointed out at other sources not yet clarified.International journal of hygiene and environmental health 08/2011; 215(1):59-63.

ABSTRACT: Data addressing the incidence and epidemiology of influenza and influenza-like illness (ILI) in tropical regions of the world is scarce, particularly for the neotropics of South America. We conducted active, population-based surveillance for ILI across 45 city blocks within the Amazon Basin city of Iquitos, Peru. Demographic data and household characteristics were collected for all participants, and participating households were visited three times weekly to inquire about ILI (fever plus cough or sore throat) among household residents. Nasal and oropharyngeal swabs were collected from participants with ILI and tested for influenza virus infection. Between May 1, 2008 and July 8, 2009, we monitored 10,341 participants for ILI for a total of 11,569.5 person-years. We detected 459 ILI episodes, with 252 (54.9%) of the participants providing specimens. Age-adjusted incidence of ILI was estimated to be 46.7 episodes/1000 person-years. Influenza A and B viruses were detected in 25 (9.9%) and 62 (24.6%) specimens of ILI patients, respectively, for an estimated age-adjusted incidence rate of 16.5 symptomatic influenza virus infections/1000 person-years. Risk factors for ILI included age, household crowding, and use of wood as cooking fuel. For influenza virus infection specifically, age and use of wood as a cooking fuel were also identified as risk factors, but no effect of household crowding was observed. Our results represent the initial population-based description of the epidemiology of ILI in the Amazon region of Peru, which will be useful for developing region-specific strategies for reducing the burden of respiratory disease.Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses 07/2010; 4(4):235-43.
