Onto the Streets
Tuesday 01 August 2006
Get yourself down to Photofusion in Brixton to see 'Onto the Streets' a show of contemporary street photography, curated by Tate Modern's Sophie Howarth and our new friend, photographer, Stephen McLaren, the show will tour with the British Council and includes the work of in-public photographers Adrian Fisk, Nick Turpin, Matt Stuart, David Gibson and Nils Jorgensen. Thanks to all those who braved the heat to join us for the opening. This is the best opportunity to see contemporary street photography in London for a long time.
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on in the world around us.Read more

A potentially overlooked Kernel Summit outcome
Every year, the Linux Kernel Summit brings together about 100 core kernel developers and subsystem maintainers to discuss issues of importance to the development community as a whole. The 2014 Summit, held August 18-20 in Chicago (just before LinuxCon North America) covered a wide range of topics and made a number of decisions. But there is one outcome from this event that merits especially wide attention: the development community is getting better at what it does.
Regressions are the bane of software developers and users everywhere. If a software upgrade breaks a system, or even just makes it run more slowly, lots of time can be lost making things work again and trust in the system as a whole is affected. Regressions have long been a concern in the kernel community, so it is not surprising that they are often discussed at the Kernel Summit.
This year's Summit brought an interesting surprise, though. Facebook developer Chris Mason talked about that organization's experience with moving to the 3.10 kernel on its production servers. Such moves have often brought to light various regressions that must be addressed. But the number of problems in 3.10, Chris said, was far lower than expected. Indeed, it was, he said, the easiest kernel move ever. Perhaps even better, an experimental move to 3.16 — a very new kernel release — also turned up very few problems.
Dave Jones (from Red Hat), instead, talked about his work with defect reports from Coverity's static analysis system. Every reported problem may indicate a bug or security issue, so they need to be taken seriously. In the year that Dave has been working with these reports, the reported defect density has dropped considerably. And, happily, new development kernels are not adding new problems at anything near the rate with which they are being removed. We have, it seems, gotten better at avoiding adding bugs to the kernel.
Why is the kernel getting better in this way? Certainly much of the credit belongs to kernel developers who are putting more effort into the quality of their code. But it also belongs with the companies that have been putting significant resources into proactive kernel testing. With the testing resources that are now in place, many problems can be found long before they can affect users; indeed, many are found before the code in question makes it into the mainline kernel at all. The end result is that a development community that was already known for releasing high-quality kernels is getting even better; that is good news for Linux users everywhere.

This is a small more economical book with lots of pictures of my artwork. Very little text - but a few insights. I wanted to create a simple gift style basic volume that wouldn't break the bank. It can't cover everything - but it does cover a lot - 80 pages worth anyway. Enjoy.
I am a late bloomer who discovered metal sculpture at age 35 and have been passionate about art ever since. I have been skateboarding since I was 12 and am a trained engineer as well. I use both sides of my brain every day and therefore mix my creativity with my vocation to strive for innovation and originality each day. I am a dad, a husband, a business owner, an artists, a little bit of a nut, and am classified by my wife as weird. I hold three degrees and use almost none of them during the week. I love to give back to the community and to skate really fast. I am off the map. That sums it up folks.

TC TO BRYAN W. PROCTER; 17 January 1828; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18280117-TC-BWP-01; CL 4:303-307.
Edinburgh, 21 Comley Bank, 17th Jany, 1828—
My Dear Sir,
I have long felt that I owed you a letter of the kindest thanks: yet now I am not intending to repay you, but rather to increase my debt by a new request of favours. The case is this: I am, since yesterday, a Candidate for the Moral Philosophy Professorship in the University of St Andrews, soon to be vacated by the transference of Dr Chalmers to Edinr; and thus my task for the present is to dun all such of my friends as have a literary reputation for Testimonials in my behalf. Considerable support in this way I can promise myself, and except in this way I have no hope of any; being altogether unconnected, as you know, either with Church or State, and at all events unfit for the dark ways of political intrigue, which too often, I am sorry to own, lead safeliest and soonest to such a goal as I am now aiming at. However, the St Andrews Professors, the Electors to this office, boast much that they have amended their ways; and under terror of the late Royal Commission, who knows but the Melville interest1 may have ceased to be omnipotent there. In this case I have some hope, in any other case little; but in all cases happily no great degree of fear. Meanwhile the business is to try, and try with my whole might, since I have entered on the enterprize. Your friend Mr Jeffrey is my Palinurus,2 and forwards me with great heartiness: I may also reckon on the warm support of Wilson, Leslie, Brewster and other men of mark in this city; and now I am writing to London for yours and Mr Montagu's. If you and he, or you yourself can with freedom speak any word in my favour, I cannot doubt that you will do it readily.
Perhaps you will tell me that you have no special judgement in matters philosophic; and think within yourself that any skill I may have possessed in this province must have been kept with extreme secrecy, during our acquaintance, in the recesses of my own consciousness. It were now too late to prove the error of these opinions, especially the latter: but I may observe in refutation that it is not skill in Philosophy alone, but general talent, and all sorts of literary gifts that come into play here; in which case, who is better entitled to speak than "Barry Cornwall," if so be his conscience will let him?
The Editor of Bacon3 will be another name of weight in a professorial election: may I count on your laying this matter before him, and Mrs Montagu's friendly intervention in inciting him to act? I would have written to him in particular: but why, thought I, two letters on one subject, and to one house? The rather, that I am busy to a degree; for tho' the business may not be settled for many months, it is judged important by my friends that I should produce my documents without delay. Shall I hope then to ornament my little list with two other names? To see you, an English Poet, beside a Scottish one and a German, for Goethe also is written to? I believe, I shall. For the rest, I need give you no directions as to the form of your Testimonial; this being altogether arbitrary, equally effectual were it a Letter to me, or a Letter to the Principal and Professors of St Andrews, or a general Testamur directed to all men at large. Edward Irving moreover knows the whole matter, and can explain it all if you have any difficulty, which however you will not have. And now enough of this poor business! Only do not think me a sorner [one who intrudes or sponges] on your friendliness, and I will say no more about the matter. Speak for me also to Mr Montagu, and explain to him why I have not spoken for myself. Do I not hereby give you a full power-of-attorney; and for which you are to be paid——in windmoney, on the other side of the Border!
What do I not owe you already for one of the kindest and most pleasant friends I ever had! Francis Jeffrey is a man meant by Nature to be an intellectual Ariel, with a light etherealness of spirit which the weight of whole Courts of Session resting on it for quarter-centuries has not been able utterly to suppress. There is a glance in the eyes of the man, which almost prompts you to take him in your arms. Alas! that Mammon should be able to hire such servants, even tho' they continue to despise him!
And where are you, my Friend? What is become of your sevenstringed shell that once gave such notes of melody? Do you not reckon it a sin and a shame to bury that fine sense, that truly Artist-spirit, under a load of week-day business? Ought not your light to shine before men, in this season of d[im] eclipse, when the opaque genius of Utility is shedding disastrous twilig[ht over] half the nations?4 I swear that I will never forgive you, if you keep sile[nce] long. My only ground of patience is that you are lente festinans [hastening slowly];5 fusing richer ores in the hidden furnace, that they may be cast in fairer moulds of purer metal, and become Shapes that will endure forever. Positively this is no idle talk, but the true wish and feeling of my heart, growing clearer to me and clearer the longer I know you. Remember my warning: it is your better Genius that speaks thro' me.
Do you ever see Mr Fraser,6 and why lingers his Review? The other day I met a little man, whose eyes sparkled with fire in speaking of it, and he wished to enlist me into his own corps on the other side. I answered that like Dugald Dalgetty7 I had taken bounty under the opposite flag, and so as a true Soldado could not leave my colours; under which however I reckoned myself bound to fight not him, or Gillies, or Cochrane,8 but the Devil (of Stupidity), and the Devil only. Seeing matters take this turn, the little man's eye grew soft, and he left me.
What is this periodical of Leigh Hunt's, and have you seen that wondrous Life of Byron?9 Was it not a thousand pities Hunt had borrowed money of the man he was to disinhume and behead in the course of duty afterwards? But for love or money I cannot see Hunt's Book; or anything but extracts of it, and so must hold my tongue. Poor Hunt! He has a strain of music in him too, but poverty and vanity have smote too rudely over the strings.— Today too I saw Dequincey: alas poor Yorick!
But enough of gossip also, in which I delight more than I can own in writing! My Wife sends her kind regards to you, and I believe would prize two stanzas of your making at no ordinary rate. Is Mrs Procter well and safe? Alas! It was for all the world such a night when I sat with you in Russel-street till the ghost-hour, and forgot that Time had shoes of felt. These times and places are all——away.— Will Mrs Montagu accept my thanks, at this late date, for her so kind and graceful letter. Jane would have written, but was making silk-pelisses and cloth-pelisses, and had semstresses white and black, and only three days ago obtained entire dominion over Frost, and marched the needlewomen out.— Adieu! I am ever yours,
T. Carlyle

What is a pregnancy test tweak? - Tweakers use various photo programs to analyze your HPT to see if we can pull out a faint pink line for an early BFP!!
For all the "indents" - Indentation line is where the antibody test strip is. On some tests this line looks like it is indented into the pregnancy test, on some tests you can clearly see the edges of the antibody strip causing to insanely thin lines to appear in the test line area. An Indent occurs when the dye runs across the test strip, if there is any HCG detected in your urine the "Indention Line" will turn pink. If not the indention line will stay white/gray, During a tweak this line is often drug out.
So if any of you have a test you would like to have tweaked, post it here and we would be happy to give you a tweak! Most of the time our tweaks are very accurate however, remember that we tweak for fun and are not doctors :)
Typical Tweaking "Rules": Please take your pictures within 10 minutesto prevent drying to help with accurate tweaking. Please lay your test FLAT on a surface because holding it in the air can cause pixelation and fake lines!! PLEASE take your photos with the macro setting on your camera. If a picture is too blurry, we cannot give you an accurate tweak. Also, don't worry about getting too close to the test. We can zoom in and crop if need be.
Taking the Test Apart- Please make sure and take a picture ASAP of the test once you take it out of the casing. Once Air hits the test, it will start to dry it, and an indent line will form more visible. If this sits out long enough you will see a line, and it will make you think it is a true line, when it isn't. Even when you tweak it, it will be visible and could even be some what pink because of the saturation of the colors when tweaked. So be very careful of this!
Disappearing Line- Often, when the dye starts to run across the test window, you will start to see the dye form a line, then it disappears once it settles. Unfortunately, that would be an evaporation line. True test lines do not disappear.
Dried Urine on your Test strip- Unfortunately some of your dried urine on the test can form a smudge of a line, often times it will tend to of course be yellow, but can add pink to it, especially on dollar tree pregnancy tests. Try and be careful about how much urine you have on your pregnancy test strip when you take it. Try not to over saturate your pregnancy test.
We do not tweak blue dye tests. They are notorious for false positives and are too unreliable. Please follow up any line on blue dye with pink and I will be happy to tweak it.
Sensitivity of Pink Dye tests:
First Response Early Result (5 & 6 days sooner)-6.3mIU
Dollar Store or Dollar Tree- 25-50mIU (White case is 25, purple case is 50)
Answer Brand-25mIU
First Response Rapid Result- 50-100mIU
Internet Cheapie/Midstream tests- 10-25mIU
Accuclear- 25-50mIU
Old Equate Brand Walmart- White Cap: 25mIU/Purple Cap: 50mIU
Photo Tips: Upload your photos to your Baby Center photos and then cut and paste them in this thread OR upload them to Photobucket (free) and copy the HTML code on this thread!!
Also tweakers please do not invert test as it gives false hope. Also please do NOT mess with SATURATION!!

I am running my website with CodeIgniter framework. I have setup cdn using cname cdn.domain.com which is being indexed by Google. And the content of the both domain.com and cdn.domain.com is having same content and is being considered as duplicated resulting ranking issue. I tried contacting the developer and he was not able to help. I hope there is some way to avoid such issue.
Domain and URL duplicates are easy to avoid with using a header method called rel canonical it was invented by the search engines to avoid duplicate content ending up within the indexing and ultimately effecting your rankings.
As DKOATED suggested you can add the CDN to the Webmaster Tools as remove these URLS but this will likely resolve in it being reindexed after you have removed them.
By using rel canonical on your pages you are telling the search engines the MASTER page so say if example you have a page that is labeled Page B and is accisble many ways such as:
domainname.com/?=pageB/ domainname.com/PageB/ domainname.com/catagory/media/pageB/ cdn.domain.com/PageB/
By using
This would tell the search engines that /PageB/ is the master page and no other pages which are accessible on other URLS will be indexed by the search engine. This is by far the best method and was introduced to remove the problem your having. Blogs such as Wordpress have many pages that are accessible by author, tags, and so forth making lots of duplicates as well as Joomla does too and for this reason this tag came along and solved this problem.
If your using a CMS such as Wordpress I recommend Yoast SEO which will do this for and if its Joomla then AceSEF or SH404SEF. If your using something else or a static site then your need to manually put them in or look for something automated to do the process for you.
Once you have the canonical set your best of manually removing the ones from the webmaster tools once you have verified that domain, simply upload the .html verify file to the CDN to do this, Google provide this information how to do.
You can use robots.txt on the CDN but you want images to index so if this is not a direct mirror this could be harmful so only block the htmls/php etc.
if you do not want to indexing by google, you must put : Disallow: / to your cdn directory.
or you can remove google index via google webmaster tools.
but firstly add your cdn domain to google webmaster tools.

Oh, the Irony
Over at Seth's Blog (which has nothing to do with fitness or diet) I found something that I just had to share with you folks. It's an image of two billboards, one over the other and the irony drips more than the sauce from a Carl's Jr. burger.
Click here to see what I'm talking about.
Related to that was when I saw a 24 Hour Fitness commercial back to back with an Arby's commercial while watching The Biggest Loser tonight.
That's a good one. BTW - I've been meaning to ask you: Over that last seven week fat loss cycle that you did, did you do any running at all, or was it pretty much KBs, body weight exercises etc. at high intensity ? Was just wondering. If not, it differs from what you did with the 8 week cycle in your book, where you did treadmill work, if I remember right.
This time around I wanted to see what would happen if I did nothing but KB work with a few bodyweight exercises thrown in. I did some bicycling early on this time around but dumped it after about the first week.

Site CMT01: Piankatank River Landing
Located along a small, marshy indentation known as Godfrey Bay, this site offers naturalists a canoe or kayak launch and views of the Piankatank River mouth at its juncture with the Chesapeake Bay. During favorable tides, and especially during migrations, the marshes, mud flats, and small white sand beach provide foraging habitat for various shorebirds and large waders. In the channel, wintering horned grebes, loons, and diving ducks can often be seen. Up to five species of tern summer here, including locally rare least and sandwich terns. Bald cypresses along the site's eastern edge, and the trees just inland, attract several species of woodland birds. These trees are especially rewarding during migration, though nesting birds are also numerous here.
From I-64, take Exit #220/SR 33 East. Proceed 17 miles to Glenns and continue straight through the light onto SR 198. Follow SR 198 16.2 miles and turn left on Rt. 626. Proceed 0.4 miles to Rt. 632, turn left, and continue 0.4 miles to the road's end.

Boss reflects on home draw
by Kate Smith
Watch head coach deliver his verdict.
Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet was frank in his post match assessment following his side's goalless draw with Norwich City.
"I'm disappointed, I was expecting more from the team." Poyet told SAFSee after the final whistle.
The Canaries frustrated the hosts with some dogged defending, restricting Sunderland to shooting from distance, with Phil Bardsley and Lee Cattermole both going close to breaking the deadlock in the first half.
"We've used excuses before," Poyet continued. "Because we've been playing top teams at the Stadium of Light, but we were not good enough to win today.
"I don't care about the other results, we need to be looking after ourselves.
"It was a very disappointing day."

A day after forming into the sixth tropical storm of the season in the Bay of Campeche, Fernand has dissipated after making landfall late Sunday night in eastern Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center reported Monday afternoon (Aug. 26) that Fernand dissipated about 75 miles west-southwest of Tuxpan after making landfall 25 miles north-northwest of Veracruz around 11:45 p.m. CDT Sunday. The remnants were moving to the west-northwest at 9 mph with gusty winds of 30 mph.
The storm has produced several inches of rainfall along its path, triggering numerous landslides that have left at least 13 people dead, according to Reuters.
Nine people died in the town of Yecuatla, three in the port city of Tuxpan and one more in the town of Atzalan, Veracruz Gov. Javier Duarte said.
A landslide of rock and mud swept onto four homes in the village of Roca de Ora, which is part of the town of Yecuatla, killing nine people in their sleep before dawn Monday.
At least 10 towns were isolated because 16 landslides blocked roads throughout the state, civil protection authorities said in a statement. They said more than 400 people were in shelters set up by the government.
In the metropolitan area of Veracruz city and neighboring Boca del Rio, workers sought to restore electricity to about 40 percent of the region's households.
The government of Veracruz state advised its 7.7 million residents to stay home, and suspended classes in the state to protect children from venturing out into winds and rain.
The Atlantic basin is in its most active period for tropical storms and hurricanes leading up to the peak of the season in early September.
With six named storms down so far, the NHC expects at least seven to 13 more including six to nine hurricanes before the season ends on Nov. 30.

Oil production growth in US, Brazil will likely reduce world's dependence on Middle East
Monday, November 25 2013 @ 02:00 AM AST
Contributed by: DeoBhagan

In the 2013 edition of the "World Energy Outlook", published this month, the IEA raised its forecasts for non-OPEC supply and lowered its 'call on OPEC crude' estimates. It highlighted that the growth in oil production in North America and Brazil will likely reduce the world's dependence on Middle Eastern oil in the near term, but OPEC is expected to play a more dominant role after 2020. Elsewhere, it left its forecasts for global primary energy demand growth unchanged, with China, India and the Middle East expected to largely contribute to the increase.
Stronger growth in Non-OPEC supplies led to lowering of 'Call on OPEC crude' forecasts…
The IEA forecasts global oil supply, net of processing gains, to increase by 11 mb/d from 2012 to reach 98 mb/d in 2035, ~1.2 mb/d higher than the previous World Energy Outlook 2012 (WEO-2012) forecast. It raised its non-OPEC supply forecasts by ~2.0-2.5mb/d during 2020-35, primarily on the back of higher contribution from the United States, Brazil and Canadian oil sands. Hence, it lowered its estimates for the 'call on OPEC crude' by ~1.3 mb/d during 2020-2035, with OPEC's share of global production declining to 46% in 2035 from 48% forecasted previously.
Upward revisions to US resource estimates, compared with WEO 2012, meant that the agency now not only forecasts a higher plateau for light tight oil production, but also one that is sustained for longer. It now estimates that the US will displace Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest oil producer in 2015, two years earlier than it had estimated just 12 months ago, retaining this status until the beginning of the 2030s. In addition, Brazil is expected to deliver more than one-third of the net global growth in oil production – growing by more than double the increase in the United States – and become a net exporter around 2015.
As a result of rising output from North America and Brazil, OPEC will likely lose influence over the oil markets in the next decade, the IEA said.
...but, OPEC is still expected to play a far greater role after 2020
Despite an increase in long-term non-OPEC supply forecasts and a decrease in the share of OPEC production, the IEA expects the market to remain more dependent on OPEC crude from the mid-2020s. It forecasts non-OPEC production to decline gradually from mid-2020s and as a result, low-cost OPEC oil production growth, driven primarily by growth in the Middle East, is expected to meet all of the growth in global demand. OPEC's share of global production declines marginally from 43% in 2013 to 41% by 2020 but increases to 46% in 2035.
Iraq is expected to be the biggest contributor to OPEC production growth, accounting for two-thirds of the total growth and growing at 4.3% p.a. between 2012-35. Oil production in 2020 is expected to be 5.8 mb/d, which is marginally lower than previous IEA forecasts of 6.1 mb/d.
Marginal upward revisions to oil demand forecasts – to grow by 0.6% CAGR till 2035
World oil demand is now expected to grow from 87.4 mb/d in 2012 to 101.4 mb/d in 2035, higher than the WEO-2012 forecasts of 99.7 mb/d. The growth in oil demand is expected to be non-linear, with the pace expected to slow down from ~1.1% p.a. to 2020 to ~0.4% p.a. thereafter. It is also concentrated in two sectors: transport, where oil usage grows by 12 mb/d to ~60 mb/d in 2035, and petrochemicals, which sees an increase of more than 3 mb/d.
China is expected to overtake the United States as the world's largest oil consumer around 2030, primarily due to the combination of rapidly increasing oil demand in China and the decreasing demand in the United States post-2020. Total oil demand growth in developing Asia is forecasted to be 13.9 mb/d to 2035, with India becoming the largest single source of growth after 2020.
No major surprises in global energy demand forecasts
The IEA has left its previous forecasts of global energy demand, growing by over one-third from 2011 to 2035, unchanged. It reiterated that the global energy map continues to evolve, with the weight of energy demand shifting towards non-OECD countries. Emerging economies will account for more than 90% of global net energy demand growth, with China, India and the Middle East largely contributing to the increase. The Middle East, in particular, is expected to emerge as a major energy consumer, becoming the second-largest gas consumer by 2020 and the third-largest oil consumer by 2030.

TERESA M. WALKER, AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Selling tickets should be easy for a Southeastern Conference team coming off a 9-4 season, especially for the opening game against Ole Miss.
Not so at Vanderbilt where tickets remained available Monday for Thursday night's season opener.
Coach James Franklin has been pushing fans to step up for months using Twitter as his platform, a countdown that has been in daily use with the opener designated as "Operation Blackout."
Franklin said Monday it's very important with a national broadcast to sell the stadium out with everyone dressed in black. He says he feels they're making progress and expects to sell out this game.
The Commodores will have help filling the SEC's smallest stadium. Ole Miss sold its 7,000-ticket allotment, and coach Hugh Freeze says he'll knows Rebels' fans will show up.

It was on this day, May 10, 2000, that one of Hollywood's biggest stars died. Standing at over a lumbering nine and a half feet tall, and weighing over 1500 pounds, Bart the Bear had appeared in eleven made for theater movies , and five made for television releases. He died while filming the television documentary, Growing Up Grizzly. He was 23 years old.
An Alaskan Kodiak Bear, Bart's mother appeared in the films Grizzly and Day of the Animals. Animal trainers Doug Seus and Lynne Seus of Wasatch Rocky Mountain Wildlife, Inc., in Heber City, Utah, trained Bart.
Bart the Bear starred in films opposite such stars as John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Annette Bening, Ethan Hawke, Steven Seagal, Gregory Peck, Tchéky Karyo, Brad Pitt, Alec Baldwin, and Anthony Hopkins, the latter even twice. All of them were reportedly impressed with how well the bear was trained.
Bart was the "spokes-bear" for the Animal Cancer Center at Colorado State University but his greatest role was as ambassador for the Vital Ground Foundation. Vital Ground has procured threatened wildlife habitat along the Rocky Mountain front and on Kodiak Island.

How Fructose makes us Unhappy
Food makes us happy. Even seeing food improves our mood.
This is because the anticipation of a feed, fires up the hormones responsible for how we feel.
The sight (or smell) of food gives us a squirt of the pleasure hormone, dopamine. Dopamine focuses our attention, makes us think more clearly and helps us move faster and more effectively. It's an important signal to our body that we are in for something good and we need to pay attention. And that was probably pretty handy in times gone by (when dinner was on the hoof rather than in the burger box)
Once we actually start eating, serotonin kicks in. The serotonin makes us feel happier and less stressed…
Depression is a major chronic health problem and it is getting much worse at a very rapid rate. Something is messing with our serotonin system and the evidence is starting to mount that the something is fructose…

Many different people have many different feelings about Arizona's new immigration law. Many patriots are hopeful that it will help repair a broken economy, border, and justice system, many liberals are enraged, feeling it is racist, discriminatory, and profiling, many Libertarians are fearful that it is a dangerous expansion of police power which won't solve the long term problem, one which they see as economic, rather than cultural or legislative.
Yet in Pinal county, Arizona, outrageous events were undertaken to remind us that illegal immigration is at it's heart an issue related to the Spanish American war, as an "undocumented" immigrant has committed what is by all shades of international law, an irrefutable act of war against the United States of America:
53 year old Louie Puroll, A sheriff's Deputy was released from the hospital Friday, and thankfully has lived to tell his tale.
While patrolling the national territory of the State of Arizona on duty, he found large quantities of Marijuana. In the course of performing his job, five men armed with rifles opened fire upon him, and he returned fire.
However, he was wounded and overpowered because of a painfully obvious reality: Law enforcement is equipped to handle criminals, not paramilitary or military squadrons.
The illegal aliens escaped, and are yet to be located. It is by no means a stretch of the imagination to presume the aggressors fled into Mexico. What is a stretch, is the sort of rhetoric which continues to float regarding Arizona's attempts to strengthen it's borders and improve it's own and national security.
The Spanish-American War is the beginning of the story of illegal immigration, as those familiar with the term reconquista will know. Territories were won which belonged to Spain, and ever since the population of Mexico has defied our Nation's law, insulted our sovereignty, and crossed into this land without impunity or hesitation. The Mexican government encourages illegal immigration by, among other things, teaching that this was the "Mexican-American war" and that these lands, agreed upon in the post-war treaty terms, were "stolen" by the US. This alone, the violation of treaty terms, is grounds under international law for a resumption of conflict. And if we look back to the Spanish-American war, we see that it was started by an accidental powder discharge, coupled with political tensions much tamer than those existing between the two Nations today.The deliberate shooting of an American peace officer by a military unit, whether that of a cartel or government, was no accidental discharge. It was indeed military in nature, as average criminals even when armed with military rifles, do not presume to exercise authority over law enforcement, rather to defy the due authority.
Shooting an intruder upon their stash is an exercise of territorial might by these drug smugglers, And when indeed they not only accosted and assaulted the officer with military weaponry, but also shot at a police helicopter, we begin to see a clear rationale behind the two most recent Arizona laws to spark controversy: the Border conflict is progressing in Arizona from mass defiance to outright war. The intention behind authorizing the stopping of vehicles over immigration status is not akin to 1941 Germany, but to 2007 Baghdad. The repeal of concealed carry requirements for Arizona citizens is a tacit deputization of the unorganized militia (defined under title 10 of the United States Code as all able bodied, male Citizens between ages 17 and 45), a belief permeating law enforcement and state government that the average citizen might need to be armed if this conflict escalates much further.
The people of the State of Arizona have to pursue their own interests, and it is not the place of others in this nation to condemn them for having the courage to run their State in an effective manner.
Every individual has a right to protect the borders of his property, and every community has a right to enforce it's regulations and protect it's denizens. Likewise, every State- whether or not it belongs to a voluntary Union with others - has a right to assert it's sovereignty and protect it's citizens by patrolling it's borders. This is what Arizona has done, with two clear responses from the Mexican Nation: those citizens residing in Mexico have declared war against Arizona and the Union with direct physical action, and those residing in the United States have chosen their side in the war upon it, through economic boycott.
Though war is always a tragic and devastating occurrence, it is indeed an Armed Conflict instigated by militant forces and supported by the masses with which Americans have been presented, through violated border, socio-economic thuggery, and the gunning of those brave Americans risking themselves to protect this Nation at home. The beginning of any solution to this crisis must be the reclamation of the media from those who refuse to mention the very criminal nature of border violations, and using the proper terms to describe the facts, rather than cowering behind political correctness. Only firm response and hard-ball diplomacy will prevent a war with a Nation which never quit fighting one.

There Goes The Greekborhood: German Europe Minister Says Would Back Greek Restructuring
- Printer-friendly version
- Apr 15, 2011 8:28 AM
- 37
Expecting vicious denial from G-Pap and the European ponzimaster Rehn any minute now. Lol, what a tragedy the whole European Shangri La aka EMU is.
I like that.... Shangri La
Check out the flick "Lost Horizions" about the inability to achieve the ideal, the illusion of perfection.
"restructuring". LOL.
They'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Like I said, any and all problems will be papered over with paper.
Futures traders are ebullient.
At this point, you really should just go away.
Bring back the chick shots or get off the boards.
And an hour later, its down to 1315.48. If the S&P tanks AS WELL as the euro zone imploding, then QE3 just gotta happen, bullish!
Robot, I'm not ebullient but I did help it go from 12.50 to 16.00. ;)
What a fooking circus! So wishy-washy they change their minds more than they change their underwear.... its all a lie anyways. The only thing to do is sell your euros and buy gold. Fuk 'em
Thats what Ive been doing since Hank Paulson threatened martial law unless we hand over the damn money.
Izzabout fuckin' time. See, without a devaluation, the Greek populace had it "sthuck" to them for these austerity measures. More paid in, less paid out, right?
So not to service the additional bail out funds aka "usurious vig money" to "the lenders" that they had to take on because they couldn't devalue, they'll just go ahead and settle with the lenders for a nice haircut.
So now, gentle follow the money reader, I ask you, where goes this new, and additional pool of enhanced cash flows within the system since it's not paying the overinflated newly minted now to be haircut vig rate notional amountof loans which were stuffed down their throats because they couldn't devalue?
Ah hah, says I to myself, in the pockets of the politicians and their cronies!
Well fuck me, the final result is that the people paid numerous times over for the right to now get less, continue paying more, enriching the powerful and already wealthy.
(Humming the Marsielles as I don't know the EU "national" anthem)
They're going HOG WILD... (Lean Hogs) that is...
I guess the sort of thing that Hoyer is worried about is this...
The Greek Finance Ministry has this week produced figures for the state deficit which are worrying. These figures do not include local or social security spending but I will quote from the press release below and omit the hyperbole.
The deficit amounts to 4,710 million Euros……… During the same period in 2010, the State Budget deficit amounted to 4,371 million Euros………Net revenues of the ordinary budget amounted to 11,114 million Euros, declining by 8.1% compared to the first quarter of 2010, mainly due to the larger than projected recession.
In case you are wondering the hyperbole proclaimed that these figures were only just above target. I have to confess that I see some very concerning factors in these numbers of which the most basic is that Greece is supposed to be in the middle of a severe austerity programme and yet the deficit level is higher than last years......
Severe austerity measures on the peasantry, however the gubment is still as irresponsible and crooked as ever.
What does 'voluntary' mean in this case? Voluntary on Greece's part? Voluntary on the creditors' part?
What does the "authorties" mean when BOI executives exceeded the guberment bank wage/bonus/capital extraction decree ?
Is BOI now seen as a superior institution to the Irish executive as seen by the authorties.
I love it when the chain of command is exposed for all to see - pass the popcorn would you.
Finnish politics rarely drive international financial markets, but the rise of the anti-bailout True Finns party means Sunday's national elections can't be ignored by investors wary of another adverse turn in the euro zone's long-running debt crisis.
The True Finns are backed by nearly 17% of the electorate, according to a TNS Gallup poll conducted between April 5 and 10. The True Finns received just 4.1% of the vote in 2007.
And since Finland is the only euro-zone country that requires bailouts to be approved by parliament, strong gains by the True Finns could derail a planned rescue for Portugal.
A stronger-than-expected showing by the True Finns, "or if some members from other parties take a similar line, could make things very touch and go," said Steven Barrow, currency and fixed-income strategist at Standard Bank. "And clearly if there's any possibility at all that Portugal might not get its money, it could hit bonds and the euro hard."
Social Democrats are not backing up the increase in EFSF either. Social Democrats demand immediate burden sharing which the EU-kleptocracy has overruled. The Left Alliance has announced that they are against supporting Portuguese bail out. So it's not just The True Finns who have had enough of the europonzi in Finland.
Oh my God Finns Party please heeeeeeeeelp us get these bastardos to can the bailout by the IMF mofos of Greece? and of Ireland, and etc. etc. That Nazi Hoyer is a wasteoid workin for Rothschildzoids. Unfortunately, Germany has been infultrated by Rusky Mafia who coincidently are all Jewish. Gee what the fuked up shit could be worse for a German but to wake up one morning and have the bloody Jew Mob running the country?
Not much eh?
And there goes little Miss Euro. If the Euro/USD cross actually reverses and holds...you can expect an epic unwind in the equity market. I think this is it. After all, how many European countries have to crumble and fall through the cracks in the German floor before someone starts wondering...where the end of that really is?
Seems to me that one of the catalysts of the Great Depression was the collapse of one..............................bank. In know these are inflationary times, but do three nations [and possibly four] equal one Euro bank from the '30s?
Good grief [and by that I mean who can even keep up with the BS and the computerized repricing of things every five freakin minutes?]
Now, if the BLS were supplying the Greek numbers, we'd be getting somwhere
I guess after 70 yrs the Germans finally got their wish to be calling the shots in Europa. 1 Euro = 1 DM
Greece is supposed to be in the middle of a severe austerity programme and yet the deficit level is higher than last years.
Their austerity program includes cutting back on the paying of taxes, resulting in a historic new low in their taxpayer-participation-rate.
I'm sure the German worker does not mind working a few extra hours a day to pay for Greek Bailouts...
As they say, "The horse that works the hardest gets whipped the most."
Amazing that stocks just shrug this off.
when a banker says he here to help you need to exit stage left at full speed
Greece need to tell them all to get stuffed NOW
it's a club they can't afford
get back to where you were before you joined at least everybody knew who was screwing who and they were quite happy as long as they could fiddle their taxes and live the life they wanted
Groucho Marx said he would never join a club that would let HIM in, Greece should have thought about that.
the ECB, IMF WORLD BANK whatever just want to control every fucking thing
agreed. sure seems to me 99% of the countries and their people need to tell these bastards to stuff it NOW!
Not one mention of contagion in all the comments above. If Greece is permitted to stick it to bond holders then so are the others who are being bailed out at gunpoint. Oh I forgot, the Irish corporate tax which they refuse to raise for the benefit of Berlin means they will not be allowed to impose restructuring on their creditors, most of whom speak German and French.
What has been camouflaged is the words. Here are the words that matter:
This has been camouflaged with words like contagion or chain reaction. Fuck that. It's about the swaps, and if this German said this it means one and ONLY one thing -- the German banks finally divested themselves, probably at Merkel gunpoint, of Greek swaps. The French banks? Maybe not.
I keep waiting for Ireland to grow a pair and leave the Eurozone, return to the punt and default on all foreign debt. Now even the new government which was elected by a pissed off population is backtracking on it's promise to seek fair resolution to the idiotic bank depositor assurances. Maybe it is because of all the German speaking suits in Irish government offices watching over the shoulders of the ministers and the Taoiseach issuing commands and "correcting" all government decisions so to fit with Eurozone priorities. I know they can be scary, I have a German landlady, she could invite you in for strudel and tea but in her Westphalian accent it sounds more like an order to board a boxcar for the east.
I'm in your restructuring. Forcing you to volunteer.
Steve Liesman said today that Germany will go through with this because they are in to deep. And I would like to say to that, hmmmph. Yea Germany is in deep, but they have to be considering that all they are doing is delaying the inevitable. Sooner or later (they picked later) they will default, and it will be more expensive to Germany then than now. If I was them, I would say let them default and take my lumps right now.
nuthin' worse than a "cranky" Finn!
They won't move an inch!
dang the Finns Ruuuuuuuuuuule!!!
they gave us Linux and the finger to the Banksphincters!!!!!!!

Military budget cuts abroad
March 3, 2014
Americans may be paying more for defense while getting less in troop strength, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel recently hinted....
When you read an editorial in your local newspaper, your natural assumption is that it expresses the views of that paper's staff and reflects local concerns. This, however, does not appear to be the case with the many small-town papers owned by Ogden Newspapers, Inc.
Thanks to Muriel Kane of The Raw Story for pointing out that the Minot Daily News is part of a string of newspapers who astroturfs its unsigned 'right-wing' editorials.

The Raw Story is the most credible news source on the internet and one should never doubt the veracity of any contributor who writes for the Raw Story.
On the other hand, the Minot Daily is a right wing rag not worth bird cage liner nor fish wrap.
Guess what, you godless buffoon, you don't have to read one word published by the Minot Daily.
You don't have click on the link to take you to the web page, nothing at all, just be gone and don't ever come back.
A simple solution to your misguided opinion of a local newspaper.
Don't read a single word printed on the Minot Daily's pages and you won't be bothered.
Time to cut the military by half.

"During a speech at the Pentagon, Hagel said plans are for the active-duty U.S. Army to be cut from its current 522,000 soldiers to as few as 440,000. The Army has not been that small since before World War II."
As far as I know we don't have a World War going so why not reduce the number of Soldiers?

President Obama, not worthy of the title, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt and use the title so everybody knows who I am talking about, has too much time on his hands and uses it inappropriately trying to be president. He can't do the job.
Sooner than later, forgetting about who he is will be the most nagging thought on everybody's mind and the desire to do it won't last long, he'll be long forgotten; it will be the best thing ever to happen to mankind.

I feel I might be sticking up for Rugby when I say not to get hasty in closing foreign bases. They provide for a little world travel without having to engage in any firefights, which a soldier gets nowadays when shipped overseas. Military should be a career job in the U.S.....or a stint on a foreign base in order to see the world.

""Why, for example, do Americans continue to spend $2 billion a year to station 50,000 troops and Marines in Japan?""
Because we defeated them and now must protect them since they aren't allowed to have a strong military anymore. Same applies to Germany. The spoils of victory I guess. But, it insures we never have to fight them again.

Don't really need an Army since we should not be in the business of nation building, only in the business of regime change and that can easily be done with drones. Take out all of their ability to kill their own people and let themselves decide who they want to rule themselves. We should be converting all of those A-10 Warthog attack jets into drones and practice in Syria.
We do need all of our nukes though, half aimed at Russia and the other half aimed at China.
We should also bring back the Davy Crockett atomic rifle.

As far as bases, when we do need to invade some piece of @#$% country it is easy to mobilize from our foreign bases that from the homeland unless it is Canada or Mexico we're invading.

I suppose if you want the stock market to lose 10,000 points in 10 days, you can have the military do all of that and more.
That nuclear plant in the meltdown stage in Japan is more worrisome than all of the nukes in the world. Nuclear power plants present more of a problem than CO2 emissions, but you can't convince a global warming insane nut to believe it.
B52's over Moscow means the Space Station no longer will carry American astronauts launched from somewhere in Russia.

Reverend Niemoller spent 7 years in a Nazi concentration camp for alarming Germans of Hitler's insane policies and Germans hated him for it.
Obama's rule is analogous to Hitler's and nobody dares make a peep.
Obama flies all around the world while people are suffering and can't heat their homes with sufficient resources and this crazy man plays golf.
People are suffering because of his policies and it doesn't matter to President Obama.
Your lying eyes won't let you admit the truth. Denial is better, it doesn't bother your conscience.
You have to empathize with Rev. Niemoller's dilemma.
Not for Obama brainwashed Obama acolytes, they're nuts, no compassion, no sympathy, just derision and contempt.
They would be happy watching Rev. Niemoller rot in prison.

With money I received for graduation, I bought a 19" LCD HDTV. This year, for Christmas, I received a Blu-Ray player. The two combine to form what is supposed to be the next generation of video viewing in high-definition. I have performed a series of tests on it, comparing its capabilities and formats with those of theaters and DVD players to find out if it is worth your time and money.
The first article in the series looked at how Blu-Ray held up to the movie theater experience.
The second article focused on what Blu-Ray means for your DVD collection.
This third article focuses on Blu-Ray and anime.
Standard DVD vs. Upconversion
Much like I did for live-action media, the first test I performed involved the DVDs from a couple series being played in my regular DVD player and my Blu-Ray player.
The first series was Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, a 6-episode 1989 video series. The difference was immediately noticeable and rather shocking - while the art style and animation framerate can not be updated, it was incredible how much finer the lines and places where the color changes looked. Comparatively, on standard DVD, everything looked a little blurry. I've considered using the analogy of looking at something with glasses off vs. glasses on, and it seems an appropriate one in this case.
The second series was Samurai Champloo, an action-heavy hip-hop-influenced anachronistic take on the traditional world of the samurai. The show aired in 2004, and the advances made over the 15 years since Gundam 0080 are apparent on standard DVD. But how does the show hold up to itself upconverted? Honestly, quite well. The difference is rather minimal. After all, anime is really just a bunch of lines and blocks of color. There is usually only nuance in backgrounds, and even the lines in the newer series are pretty sharp already.
Anime on Blu-Ray
So, what about Blu-Ray? Again, I turned to Samurai Champloo, one of the series Funimation has recently released on the new format.
Compared to DVD, the difference is noticeable. Compared to upscaled, it looks only marginally better. It seems that the three formats are like looking at three close shades of a color. If you hold the first up to the second, they look pretty much the same, hold the second up to the third, they look pretty much the same, but the first and third ones held next to each other clearly look different.
I imagine that Gundam 0080 would look incredible if it were rereleased on Blu-Ray. I'm also interested to see how Hayao Miyazaki's movies would look in high-definition. Considering the latter were formatted for theaters and would have more natural definition in their masters, they would probably make the transition even more impressively.
The next article in the series will look at whether or not size matters when it comes to seeing the differences in format.
