When a girl has her period, and is wearing a tampon, you pull the tampon out and stick it in her ass. Then have sex in a position so that the tampon is sticking up in the air so that she looks like the Calgary tower. When you're done, take the tampon out of her ass and reinsert it back into her pussy. You can follow this up with a Dirty Lanny.
My girl pissed me off so we did the Calgary Tower and I finished it off with a Dirty Lanny

It speaks ill of the so-called serious news media in this country when a political satirist does a better job than all of them in putting a controversy in proper perspective.
Such was the case last night when it took Jon Stewart a mere 10 minutes to expose the vacuousness of the scandal-mongering by the Republican right over the Benghazi tragedy.
THIS PIECE includes two video clips from Stewart's devastating treatment of the subject:Jon Stewart tonight took on today�s big Congressional hearing on Benghazi, and specifically on how it�s become the latest way Fox News has gone all-out in ...

So is this based on Google SPDY?
Phoronix: A New Internet Draft Of HTTP 2.0 Published
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol Bis Working Group of the IETF has published a new Internet draft of the HTTP 2.0 protocol...
So is this based on Google SPDY?
that's like heaven for black hats and script-kiddies around the world. Including but not limiting to organisations like the NSA.It also introduces unsolicited push of representations from servers to clients.
In other words: How retarded are the people that design something like that? A 5 year old knows that that is just wrong.
Also I really, really hope that someone manages to get the people responsible for that on a data limited plan and sets a website as their start page that transmits a few gibibytes/page request...
Last edited by Detructor; 07-09-2013 at 12:59 PM.
From the abstract it compresses the headers, multiplexes the connection, and preemptively sends data to the client (called Server Push employed using PUSH_PROMISE frames...this requires the use of GET).
SPDY compresses the headers, multiplexing the connection, preemptively sending data to client, and prioritized requests(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mbe...ttpbis-spdy-00).
So, at first glance, the only difference is the prioritization of requests...BUT section 5.3 of HTTP/2.0 talks about stream priority which addresses this issue. The odd thing to me is that SPDY uses only 3bits to represent the various priorties while HTTP/2.0 uses the full 31bits.
IOW, from a layman, they looks pretty damn similar.
If your web client does not want the data from the server it doesn't have to look at it. It's no more dangerous than the requested data responses.
As for extra data blowing bandwidth caps...what is the difference between normal HTTP 1.1 and this? Do you review and approve each URL request before it transmits? Since Firebug shows most sites with 20-30 requests, I doubt that you do. Any current web site using HTTP/1.1 could already load gigabytes of images or Javascript data and most people would never realize it was happening.
With a download you yourself started, you can press "Stop". With a push download in the background, will there even be any indication a transfer is ongoing, let alone a way to stop it? This be the concern.

I really looked forward to this series before it even started because I am such a fan of the books. Although I was at first majorly disappointed because the series was so off base of the books, and the characters and story lines were so different, I kept both watching and reading and found myself hooked on both! The characters in the show are completely different ,with different lives, but are just as compelling as the ones in the books. I have a feeling the show would do much better if it wasn't in direct competition time wise with another show that has a huge fan base, and much more advertising. Perhaps in the future the time slot will be adjusted to give 'Bones' a better opportunity to build a strong fan base before it has to face off with another show that is so popular.

Alexander V. Litvinenko
Alistair Fuller/Associated Press
Alexander V. Litvinenko, a former K.G.B. officer and critic of the Kremlin who had won asylum in Britain, died in November 2006, after drinking tea laced with a radioactive isotope, polonium 210, at a meeting with Russian contacts in London. He was 43.
Mr. Litvinenko's death created one of the most stirring dramas of espionage since the cold war. It chilled relations between Britain and Russia, leading to tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats. Russia's refusal to hand over the man accused of killing Mr. Litvinenko has since stymied efforts to restore normal ties.
The British authorities have accused Andrei K. Lugovoi, a former K.G.B. bodyguard who is now a member of the Russian Parliament, of murder and requested his extradition from Russia. But Russian authorities say their Constitution forbids extradition of their own citizens.
Mr. Lugovoi, who has denied any wrongdoing, in turn accused the British secret intelligence agency, MI6, and a self-exiled Russian tycoon, Boris A. Berezovsky, of organizing the killing. They have denied the allegation.
The precise nature of the evidence against Mr. Lugovoi has not been outlined, though investigators have linked him and an associate, Dmitri V. Kovtun, to nuclear traces stretching from luxury hotels and offices in London to Hamburg, Germany, and to British Airways planes that had flown to Moscow.
Mr. Litvinenko died after weeks of debilitating illness. He became ill the day he met Mr. Lugovoi and Mr. Kovtun at the Pine Bar in the Millennium Hotel, across from the American Embassy, in Grosvenor Square. At the meeting, Mr. Litvinenko drank tea, which his associates have since asserted was laced with polonium.
On his deathbed, Mr. Litvinenko accused Russia's president, Vladimir V. Putin, of ordering his murder.
Testimony Points to Russian State Role in Death
New testimony that emerged on Dec. 13, 2012, deepened the intrigue surrounding the death Mr. Litvinenko, offering prima facie evidence of Russian state involvement and indicating that he had been a paid agent of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, lawyers at a preliminary inquest hearing said.
The potentially explosive assertions were made at a procedural hearing before a full inquest, set for May 2013, into Mr. Litvinenko's death.
Hugh Davies, a lawyer acting for the inquest, said evidence provided by the British government had established a "prima facie case as to the culpability of the Russian state in the death of Alexander Litvinenko."
Neither the Russian authorities nor Mr. Lugovoi offered any immediate response to the accusation. Mr. Litvinenko's adversaries had long depicted him as an agent of British intelligence, accusing him of trying to recruit Mr. Lugovoi. But the details of his role had not been enumerated publicly until the hearing.
Ben Emmerson, a lawyer representing Mr. Litvinenko's widow, Marina Litvinenko, said that Mr. Litvinenko, who fled to Britain in 2000 and became a British citizen weeks before his death, had for some years been a "registered and paid agent and employee of MI6, with a dedicated handler whose pseudonym was Martin."
He would meet his handler in central London, Mr. Emmerson said, and discuss the encounters with his wife.
Mr. Litvinenko also worked for the Spanish intelligence service, Mr. Emmerson said, and both the British and Spanish spy agencies made payments into a joint account with his wife. He added that the inquest in 2013 should consider whether MI6 failed in its duty to protect him against a "real and immediate risk to life."
Mr. Litvinenko's contacts and meetings with Mr. Lugovoi have been documented in the past, but there seemed to be a further twist to their relationship, according to Mr. Emmerson, who said the two former K.G.B. officers had been scheduled to travel together to Spain to give evidence to the Spanish security services about possible links between Russian organized crime and the Kremlin.
A lawyer for the British authorities, Neil Garnham, said he could neither confirm nor deny whether Mr. Litvinenko had been a British agent.
Mr. Litvinenko was also a close associate of the self-exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky, another of Mr. Putin's adversaries. Hugo Keith, a lawyer acting for Mr. Berezovsky, denied any involvement by his client.
"It's not open to an individual to get polonium 210," he said. "The suggestion that Mr. Berezovsky is responsible is implausible."
The testimony set the stage for highly contentious hearings in May, at which both Russia and Britain may be forced to deal with unwelcome questions about what their security services knew about events leading to the killing.
Motive is Still a Mystery
Of the many gaps in the Litvinenko jigsaw, the biggest is the question of a motive. If Mr. Litvinenko was, as his adversaries in Russia long maintained, a British agent, was that enough to justify a vengeful state conspiracy to silence or, at the least, make an example of him? Or does the Spanish connection offer a more plausible line of inquiry?
In 2010, American diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks described the conclusions of a Spanish prosecutor, José Grinda González, in support of Mr. Litvinenko's oft-voiced belief that the Russian security and intelligence services "control organized crime in Russia." Was that the trigger for a killing?
But that is where the story crosses into a world of flawed loyalties and double-dealing. As the December 2012 hearing revealed, in late 2006, Mr. Litvinenko had been about to embark on a journey to Spain to tell investigators about bonds between the Russian mafia and the Kremlin — a follow-up to a secret visit in May 2006, during which he provided critical information about Russian organized crime bosses. Months later, he was dead.
The twist in the latest disclosures was this: His companion on the second voyage was to have been another alumnus of the K.G.B., Andrei K. Lugovoi, a successful Russian businessman, who just happens to be the person British prosecutors have accused of poisoning Mr. Litvinenko.
In the years immediately after Mr. Litvinenko's death, it was possible to cast it, as British prosecutors did, simply as the murder of a British citizen by a foreigner. (Mr. Lugovoi denies killing Mr. Litvinenko, and Russia has refused to send him to Britain to stand trial, citing constitutional prohibitions on the extradition of its own citizens.) After the latest assertions, however, the case shifted to a far more ominous plane — the alleged state killing of a state agent, a conspiracy on foreign soil, a throwback to the cold war.

Arkansas announced that coach John L. Smith would not become the program's full-time replacement for Bobby Petrino. / Spruce Derden, US Presswire
In news that will surprise absolutely no one:
Arkansas has "reassigned" coach John L. Smith into a consulting role until the conclusion of his contract on Feb. 23, 2013. Smith signed a 10-month deal in April to serve as Bobby Petrino's late-in-the-game interim replacement, and barring some sort of miracle, Smith was not going to be named as Arkansas' full-time coach after the 2012 season.
A miracle, in this case, would have been an 11-win season, or thereabouts. That's what most expected of Arkansas coming out of last season, especially with the team's superb talent and makeable SEC schedule â?? the Razorbacks got LSU and Alabama in Fayetteville.
Unfortunately, the Razorbacks went 4-8. Smith's chances at becoming Petrino's full-time replacement took an unforgivable blow during a 34-31 loss to Louisiana-Monroe on Sept. 8. A week later, a 52-0 loss at home to Alabama essentially sealed Smith's fate. After a win against Tulsa on Nov. 3 moved Arkansas to 4-5, the Razorbacks lost three in a row to end the season.
"I am very grateful to chancellor (David) Gearhart and (athletic director) Jeff Long for the opportunity they gave me to return to the University of Arkansas and coach this football team," Smith said in a statement.
"I have enjoyed guiding this group and I am extremely proud of how everyone in our program stuck together and showed tremendous character by competing throughout the season. Everyone on our staff has my appreciation as they all believed in our goals and stayed committed to the development of these young men."
"I have great respect for coach Smith and I thank him for the sincere commitment he has shown our program," Long said in a statement. "He made a difficult decision in uncertain times to return from his alma mater to guide the young men in our football program, and I will always be grateful for his efforts."
An Arkansas assistant from 2009 to 2011, Smith was hired in April after spending four months as the head coach at his alma mater, Weber State.
Arkansas is expected to move quickly to find a replacement.
Dennis Dodds of CBSSports.com is reporting the school could hire a new coach within the next 10 days.

Aseptic Necrosis Of The Hip
(Osteonecrosis; Avascular Necrosis; Ischemic Necrosis; Osteochondritis Dissecans)
Aseptic necrosis of the hip is the death of bone tissue in the head of the femur (thigh bone) due to an inadequate blood supply.
There is a specific type of aseptic necrosis of the hip called Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. It affects the growth plate at the upper end of the femur in children. It most commonly affects boys aged 5-10 years old.
The Hip Joint
Aseptic necrosis of the hip is caused by any event or condition that damages the arteries that feed the head of the femur . The most common events are fractures in the upper femur and dislocations of the hip, especially developmental dysplasia of the hip. Other causes reduce the blood supply by closing off or compressing the blood vessels.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of developing aseptic necrosis of the hip include:
- Femoral neck fractures
- Hip trauma
- Dislocation of the hip
- Radiation therapy
- Prolonged or repeated use of cortisone-like drugs
- Decompression sickness
- Sickle cell disease
- Gaucher disease
- Cushing disease
- Smoking
- Excessive alcohol use
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)—especially if SLE is being treated with corticosteroids
- Chronic renal failure or renal transplantation
- HIV infection
Symptoms may include:
- Groin pain, especially with weight-bearing actions
- Hip pain or limited hip motion
- Buttock, thigh, and knee pain
- Limping
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to an orthopedic surgeon.
Images may need to be taken of your internal structures, especially your bones. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Physical Therapy
Your doctor or physical therapist may advise non-weight-bearing exercises to minimize disease progression.
The following medications may be prescribed:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, to relieve pain
- Bisphosphonates to prevent the loss of bone mass
- Iloprost to relax blood vessels
- Enoxaparin to prevent blood clots
There are several surgical procedures used to treat aseptic necrosis of the hip. The choice depends on the extent of disease and the age and health status of the patient. Bone grafts, decompression of the inside of the bone, realignment of the bone, femoral head resurfacing, and prosthetic hip replacement are some options.
To help reduce your chances of getting aseptic necrosis of the hip, take the following steps:
- Minimize the dose and duration of cortisone-like drugs.
- Avoid decompression disease when diving underwater.
- Reduce or stop smoking.
- Avoid excessive alcohol.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
After the initial euphoria of the Nikon 1 V1 it's probably true to say subsequent models failed to capture the imagination in quite the same way. Now with the introduction of the waterproof AW1 Nikon has cleverly won back interest in the system. Read on to find out how this super-compact and submersible model performs. |
As with previous guides, this review is intended to help you make the right choice when selecting lenses, in this instance, for the micro Four Thirds Olympus OMD E-M5 and the rival offering from Panasonic, the Lumix DMC-GH3. These two flagship models share not only the same mount, as partners of the Micro Four Thirds alliance, but in this particular instance, a similar 16Mpix MOS sensor as well. The prevalence of high quality primes (and let's not forget zooms) for those cameras makes it, arguably, the most attractive proposition of any of the mirrorless camera systems currently available. Read on to see which lens models are the best performing in the range. |
Hybrid is a word used both positively and negatively, quite appropriate for the photographic industry. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 wears this badge: "Hybrid", a mix of system and compact. It has a range of lenses spanning 7mm to 300mm (equivalent to 14mm up to 600mm in full frame 35mm) and a body that is not much bigger than a compact camera. Should it wear it with pride? Yes, it should… |

Felix in search of more dominance vs. Red Sox
Seattle ace brings 8-2 career mark vs. Boston into matchup with Kelly
Mariners ace Felix Hernandez knew that his historic stretch wouldn't last forever. His Major League-record streak of seven-plus-inning starts with two runs or fewer allowed snapped at 16 when he lasted just five frames in a loss at Detroit last Saturday.
So what now for the five-time All-Star?
"It's over," Hernandez said. "Start a new streak."
That effort will begin on Friday, when Seattle opens a three-game series in Boston. Hernandez brings a 13-4 record and the American League's best ERA, at 1.99. He's also tops in the league in WHIP (0.87), second in innings pitched (185 1/3), and tied for second in wins and strikeouts (197).
Hernandez was pulled after five frames in Detroit when his pitch count reached 92 and Seattle trailed, 2-1, against David Price. He had taken a hard comebacker off his hip in the fourth inning but said this week that his leg is fine and that he's 100 percent for Friday.
Hernandez is 8-2 with a 2.97 ERA in 15 career starts against the Red Sox, including a 3-1 mark and 2.36 ERA in seven starts at Fenway.
The Mariners have their three top pitchers lined up for this series, with Hernandez followed by Chris Young (12-6, 3.07 ERA) on Saturday and Hishashi Iwakuma (12-6, 2.57 ERA) on Sunday. The three have the lowest cumulative ERA (2.50) of any starting trio in the AL.
The Red Sox will send right-hander Joe Kelly to the mound on Friday for his 11th start of the season. He will be looking to recover from a rough Fenway Park debut, on Sunday, when he allowed seven hits and seven runs in a loss to the Astros. This will be his first career start against the Mariners.
Red Sox manager John Farrell considers that last outing a decent one despite the loss.
"Plenty of stuff. Plenty of power. Plenty of action to his secondary pitches," Farrell said. "His command was not as it's been in the first two outings for him."
Mariners: Ackley to return on Friday
Left fielder Dustin Ackley will be back in the lineup for the series opener after taking Wednesday off to rest his sore back.
"It's a chance to give him two days, actually," manager Lloyd McClendon said prior to Thursday's off-day. "He's been going at it real hard. This is a chance to get him cleaned up and ready for the stretch run. I just thought we should take advantage of it."
Ackley went 4-for-8 with three doubles in the series with the Phillies and has hit .314 in 31 games since the All-Star break to hike his average to .252. He had started 33 straight games prior to Wednesday.
Red Sox: Craig back in action as DH
Allen Craig was supposed to play for Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday night but returned from his rehab assignment a day early and batted fifth as the DH against the Angels. David Ortiz and Mike Napoli were both held out of the lineup; Napoli with back spasms and Ortiz to get some rest.
Craig went 0-for-3 in just his second game since being traded to the club in a July 31 deal that sent John Lackey to St. Louis in exchange for Kelly and Craig.
In his first action with the Red Sox, on Aug. 1, Craig sprained his left foot running out a ground ball. The foot had also given him some trouble last season.
"The injury he had last year was something that was given rest and recovery rather than a repair," Farrell said. "Probably as much to do with [the Cardinals'] stretch into the postseason. I guess it's debatable whether a repair was needed or recommended. They chose the conservative path . ... What he was feeling wasn't a result of the actual previous injury. But does the previous injury still give some instability? That's again, debatable."
The Red Sox will continue to monitor Craig's status from both a performance and physical standpoint through their final 35 games. He hit just .237/.291/.346 in 97 games with the Cardinals this season after batting .315/.373/.457 in 2013.
Worth noting
• All-Star third baseman Kyle Seager leads the Mariners with 19 home runs and 78 RBIs, but 15 of those long balls and 52 of the RBIs have come at Safeco Field, where he has hit .335 this season. He is hitting .318 in five career games at Fenway Park.
• Red Sox outfielder Yoenis Cespedes left Thursday night's game in the fourth inning because of personal reasons. Brock Holt moved to the outfield and Will Middlebrooks took Holt's spot at third base.
Middlebrooks broke up Matt Shoemaker's no-hitter with a two-out double down the left-field line in the seventh inning. He grabbed at his hamstring while running hard to second but stayed in the game.

Halos look to pour it on against Red Sox
After wild outing, Webster looks to bounce back in series opener
On Friday, one of the American League's worst offenses will head West to take on one of its best.
The Red Sox haven't shown any consistency with their bats this season, but the Angels have. That will be on full display when Boston's Allen Webster takes on Jered Weaver of the Halos in the first of a three-game set in Anaheim. Entering Thursday, the Sox ranked last in the AL in runs scored and the Angels ranked second.
Weaver hasn't been brilliant by any means this season, but the Angels are 15-9 in games he starts and 8-1 over his last nine. He's received the 14th most run support among starting pitchers this year. But with a 3.59 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 2.54 K/BB ratio, Weaver has posted his worst number in each of those categories in the last five seasons.
In the Angels' 7-5 win over the Rays on Sunday, Weaver allowed just two runs despite allowing six hits and four walks in six innings. The Halos put a five spot on the board in the first to support him.
"You can't complain too much when [the bats] put five runs on the board there in the first," said Weaver. "It makes the starting pitcher's job a little bit easier."
Webster, meanwhile, took Jake Peavy's spot in the Red Sox rotation when the veteran was dealt to San Francisco several days before the non-waiver Trade Deadline, and Boston's No. 5 prospect hasn't found his control in either of his two starts since.
The 24-year-old has allowed 11 walks, five hits and six runs over eight innings this season with Boston. For Triple-A Pawtucket, though, Webster has a 3.10 ERA and 2.27 K/BB ratio in 21 outings.
"It was just my fastball," Webster said after a 6-4 loss to the Yankees on Saturday, when he exited after 2 2/3 innings. "If I could have found my release point on my fastball, I could've gotten my other pitches to work behind it."
"It's not uncommon for young pitchers that when you get into a little bit of a situation where you're trying to do more, you're trying harder to throw a strike, not necessarily in terms of velocity, but you're trying harder to throw a ball in a certain area," manager John Farrell said. "What that leads to is being spread out a little bit more in the delivery, your arm drags. A lot of times, less is better."
Red Sox: Johnson activated, Betts optioned
Kelly Johnson has been with the Red Sox for a week, but not on the 25-man roster. On Thursday, the club activated him off the disabled list and optioned top prospect Mookie Betts to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Acquired from the Yankees for Stephen Drew at the Deadline, Johnson will pinch-hit and play first, third and left field when needed. The 32-year-old hit .219/.304/.373 in 227 plate appearances with New York this season.
"Kelly's aware of the role he comes in, so we'll pick those spots accordingly," Farrell said.
Betts started just two games since being recalled Aug. 1.
"He's a developing player, and in the two stints he's had here with us, you can see the improvements defensively but we didn't want to stall that development any further," said Farrell.
Angels: Tough stretch over for Halos
The Angels can finally exhale.
Since the All-Star break, the Angels have played 17 of 20 games against teams with winning records, including 14 games against teams that would currently make the playoffs. The Angels emerged with a 10-10 record with 11 games decided by one run.
"We don't have a perfect team, we have a strong team," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "I think that the teams we faced, there's no such thing as a perfect ball club. I think that when we can do the things that we need to do on the field, we're very comfortable matching up and playing against anyone."
Beginning with a series against the Red Sox, the Angels' next 12 games are against teams currently in last place in their division. They play the Phillies and Rangers before taking on the Red Sox again.
"I don't know if we're going to look back at any stretch but we have a tough game every night," Scioscia said. "There's no breather in the schedule, you have tough games every night and you have to be ready for them. Overall, we've held our own since the break but hopefully, we're going to start to get a little more offensive continuity."
Worth noting
• David Ortiz was scratched from Thursday's starting lineup because of wet conditions at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, where he was supposed to play first base. He's expected to be back in Boston's lineup Friday as the designated hitter.
• Shane Victorino's back surgery Tuesday was successful and he's expected to be ready for Spring Training.
• Boston is the only American League team the Angels have not faced this season.

yea yea... you broke GTK in KDE then
i croke Qt colors? so i cant see fonts? because they are white, and background is white? cant change color on QT config? sorry, but this is bullshit
Looks like I stepped on someones toes. Lol.
Do you disagree that Gimp is a piss-poor porting job on other operating systems? Just use its file open dialog on KDE and you'll understand.
Or do you disagree that GTK fails to offer a native experience on every WM outside of Gnome? Tango icon set, alien file dialogs, wrong button order, wrong widget sizes - it does an awful job on KDE/Win/Mac.
If you have a counter-argument I'd love to hear it.
Qt is not vastly better, inherently. It seems as though work is needed to make a Qt application look native on a different desktop (per my link). Here is a pic of Gimp running on what looks like XP from the Gimp site. Looks about as ugly as everything else on Windows:P
Button ordering is a fairly small thing to keep mentioning, BS, but I understand how fun it is getting a rise out of people
IMHO, wxWidgets is the way to go for xplatform. It had, for me, surprisingly extensive libraries and a pretty small download.
All this aside, I think xplatform is not the best way to get users to linux, but it is nice that our toolkits are at least able to do this to some extent.
GTK isn't meant to bring a native experience on every WM outside of gnome. In fact it's primary aimed at GNOME/Xfce these days.
If you don't like it's "awful job" on KDE/Win/Mac which it's not made for, then don't bother with it. That's why KDE/Win/Mac all have their own applications.
That's like complaining that your iPod theme doesn't match your USB cable or something. It's not made to do that. It's made to be a base toolkit (only above X11) that provides it's own widgets and themes and doesn't rely on the underlying platform to provide them.
All of the things you mentioned are such different platforms (C/C++/Objective-C) that integrating them screams bad idea and messy code.

The exposure of the ideological connections of Svoboda brought the usual knee-jerk response from the banderist web brigades, whose members have problems with logical reasoning and proper attribution of authorship, on top of usage of the Ukrainian names for places in Poland and and the same time duplicitous demands of usage of only Ukrainian names for places in Ukraine. The connection between Svoboda and fascist Ukrainian nationalist movement responsible for ideologically driven genocide of Poles during the Second War World is well known to any person visiting the western part of Ukraine or anybody who spent some time investigating actions of that party. However, for the international audience, supporters of that party want to maintain an illusion of democratic, "European" party, which is just a PR operation similar to renaming that party from Social-National Party of Ukraine to All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda"and changing the logo to avoid an easy to recognise connection with Wolfsangel used by Neo-Nazis. However, the pride from the roots has not changed.
One needs only to take a look at this website
to understand how this mysterious zerwikaptur continues to see the world. His native Polish extremists, most likely known as the 'Oboz Narodowo-Radykalny', - ONR - 'Peoples Radical Camp', are proud of their long history dating back to WWI.
It's kind of scary...when you look at their emblems, flags, fires, marches...its a reminder of a well known era of the 1930's
The deeper you look the darker it gets. Zerwikaptur's sudden preoccupation with Ukrainian political scene and with 'Svoboda' in particular smells 'fishy' as he needs to come clean on his association with Polish right-wing, particularly the so-called "All-Polish Youth" (Polish name: "Młodzież Wszechpolska") a militant Polish nationalist group, rather known in today's Poland for hooliganism and violence during their annual public demonstrations.The term "All-Polish" is an attempt to play on popular emotions while serving to confuse naive foreign media.
Its not a new group as the present so-called "All-Polish Youth" in its earlier re-incarnation used to be known to have openly admired Mussolini's Italian fascism advocating a hard line towards the political left. Some former "All-Polish Youth" leaders have also been known for praising former authoritarian regimes in Spain and Portugal.
As far as I can see the defenders of the fascist and genocidal OUN-UPA use the same propagandist methods as their ideological heroes, who "enhanced" the ideas of fascism with the propagandist methods of Bolsheviks always ready to call white black and black white whenever the need arises, from whom they also copied a lot in terms of cruelty and hatred toward their self-created enemies.
I spit equally on Nazism, Communism and OUN-UPA. Just three faces of the same evil, the evil that still so many supporters in Ukraine.

What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
If, according to evolutionary theory, the human species has evolved from non-human ancestors over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, how might we understand humans as uniquely bearing the image of God?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"There was no better way, in Boyle's opinion, to 'give us so great a Wonder and Veneration' for God's wisdom, than 'by Knowing and Considering the Admirable Contrivance of the Particular Productions of that Immense Wisdom,' by which he mainly meant the exquisitely fashioned parts of animals both great and small."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.

Shields can extend Rays' reign over Yanks
The Rays come to New York off back-to-back losses, and Tampa Bay must now play in a stadium where it has recently struggled. Despite currently owning an all-time-high seven-game winning streak against the Yankees, the Rays have dropped four of their last five games in the Bronx.
Tampa Bay's James Shields can buck that trend and keep the Rays' winning streak against the Yankees intact, going for his sixth win of the season. New York roughed up Shields on Opening Day, scoring six runs on nine hits in five innings, but the Rays came back to win in the bottom of the ninth with a rally against Mariano Rivera.
Shields, who struck out a season-high 11 batters in his last outing, will be a facing Yankees lineup that broke out for 10 runs against the Royals on Sunday after scoring only 13 in the previous six games combined. The Yankees hit three home runs on Sunday, and Shields, who has given up five homers in 34 innings at Yankee Stadium, knows New York is a tough place to pitch.
"You definitely have to be careful of the right-field wall, but for the most part, you have to concentrate on their hitters, who are dangerous no matter where you're playing them," Shields said.
Right-hander Ivan Nova will take the mound for New York on Tuesday, the first time in months that he'll be looking to rebound from a loss. Nova lost for the first time since last June 3 in his most recent start, snapping a 15-game winning streak by allowing the Orioles five runs in 6 1/3 innings.
Nova is 2-0 with a 3.47 ERA in four career starts against the Rays, whom he held to six hits in 7 2/3 scoreless innings the last time he faced them.
Rays: Fresh 'pen
Monday's off-day -- the only one for the Rays in a 30-day stretch -- came at a much-needed time for Tampa Bay's bullpen, which worked 8 2/3 innings in Saturday's 12-inning loss to Oakland. The Rays added a fresh arm to their 'pen on Sunday, recalling left-hander Cesar Ramos from Triple-A Durham and optioning Brandon Gomes to Durham. Ramos was 2-1 with a 1.69 ERA in 12 relief appearances at Triple-A and appeared in 59 games for the Rays a year ago.
Sunday's loss was only the second time in the past 43 games the Rays lost when scoring at least five runs.
Yankees: Granderson reaches mark
Curtis Granderson's third-inning single on Sunday was the Yankees center fielder's 1,000th career hit. It also extended his Major League-leading streak of 27 straight games reaching base safely.
Right-handed reliever David Robertson has struck out the last eight batters he's faced, one shy of the most by a Yankees pitcher since 1961, when Ron Davis struck out nine straight in May 1981.
Worth noting
Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano is hitting .400 (24-for-60) with four homers, five doubles and two triples in his career against Shields.

Appearing in court for the first time in a case some are calling vigilante justice, a San Jose apartment maintenance worker accused of killing a suspected burglar seemed calm but bewildered Friday as prosecutors formally charged him with second-degree murder.
Luis Ricardo Hernandez, 26, shackled and wearing a jail-issue red jumpsuit, stood quietly, gazing just once toward the back of the Santa Clara County courtroom in search of a familiar face; an unidentified woman with tears in her eyes looked back at him in anguish.
During the brief hearing, Superior Court Judge Jerome Nadler ordered him to remain in custody without bail.
Hernandez is scheduled to return to court Jan. 18 to enter a plea in the case that unfolded Monday morning, when he allegedly shot dead Christopher Soriano, 36, in the parking garage of the Sunny Breeze Apartments near the Santa Clara County fairgrounds.
Soriano's death marked the city's 46th and final homicide of 2012, the highest number since 53 were recorded in 1991.
Some critics have blamed the surging homicide numbers in the Bay Area's largest city to deep cuts in San Jose police staffing and an exodus of officers to other agencies after voters sided with the mayor last June in a bitter public battle over pension reform. But the mayor and others have argued that pension reform and pay cuts were needed to avoid even deeper layoffs due to rising retirement costs.
Hernandez's attorney Nelson McElmurry declined his client's right to a speedy preliminary hearing within 10 days. McElmurry said after Friday's hearing that he needs more time to review reports, a video and other evidence in the case before proceeding.
"He's not a violent person," the lawyer said of Hernandez. "He's just a hardworking young man who was caught in a really unfortunate situation."
Hernandez's pastor, Mike Rodriguez, among about 10 friends and relatives who attended Hernandez's court hearing to show support, echoed that sentiment. Rodriguez said Hernandez did not have a history of violence and "has been shedding tears the whole time" since his arrest.
"Life was difficult" for him, Rodriguez said outside the courthouse. "But his character was exemplary in his whole time with me."
According to a San Jose police report, Hernandez shot Soriano after a scuffle between the two men and Hernandez's boss went awry.
The police report said the maintenance supervisor at the apartment complex at 200 Lewis Road recognized Soriano driving his truck into the complex parking garage Monday morning. The supervisor told police that Soriano was a suspect in prior burglary incidents there, and that he phoned Hernandez to help him make a citizen's arrest on Soriano.
The supervisor told investigators that the apartment complexes he maintains, including the Lewis Road location, have been plagued by burglaries. Despite frequent police reports, he said, the crimes have continued. The supervisor also told investigators that he didn't think police would respond in time, so he and Hernandez decided to confront Soriano and hold him until police arrived. When Soriano tried to flee, he was allegedly shot by Hernandez with a gun that police say was not legally purchased.
Police and court records portray Soriano as a career criminal with a history of theft offenses.
McElmurry said the Police Department's downsizing may have left citizens in a position where "they almost have to protect themselves." Yet police have stressed that residents should not intervene in crimes because of the potential for violence.
Investigators also say it is unclear what, if any, evidence Hernandez or his supervisor had to suggest that Soriano had burglarized the apartment complex.
"I don't know the facts of the case yet," said McElmurry. "But from what I am hearing from people in the social media, many people are feeling sympathetic (toward Hernandez.) He's confronted by a man who was committing a crime. It's a scary and difficult situation to be in."
