Indian Firm Seeks to Book the Plaza
By Kris Hudson
An Indian conglomerate has made an unsolicited $600 million offer to acquire the storied Plaza Hotel in New York, but the deal would need approval of two owners: an Israeli-owned holding company and a Saudi Arabian prince.
Sahara India Pariwar Ltd., which bought London's high-profile Grosvenor House hotel in 2010, made the offer to Israeli-owned El Ad U.S. Holding Inc., according to people familiar with the matter. El Ad is examining the proposal, these people said.

That would have made a better episode in my opinion.
That would have made a better episode in my opinion.
I asked myself the same question for a week . Why ?
they should have made everypony freak out at the sight of her!
I think Twilight is breaking the picture of an alicorn princess (I don't hate her being an alicorn ) . Princess must be in castle all the time like Luna and Celestia , appear when they are need like Cadence . Twilight ruin it
i don't think that, it's just, nopony freaks out and bows down when they see her.
that would be hilarious.
that would be hilarious.

Twilight is okay with this.
D'awwww...This is just so adorable!
I love it when you draw ponies upside down and in the air like that, and I don't know why. Luckily for me, you do it frequently!
Coco is so cure.
Poor Coco X)
Pinkie so totally has the right personality for cheer leading.
Twilight doesn't seem to be worried about being flung in the air XD
Pinkie juggling often ends in problem...
Looks like Coco isn't into cheerleading. But hey, they're great. Although I prefer the pegasi sisters more actually.
Excellent art, PK. Cheerleading can be F - U - N, FUN!!!

Deepika Padukone Gets Negative Response
Deepika Padukone, even in her worst of her dreams, could not have imagined that her debut in Rajinikanth's Kochadaiiyaan might fail to give her good recognition. More importantly, the Bollywood diva wouldn't have thought that she might become a joke in the movie! Yes, her characterisation has come under severe scrunity and people are poking fun at her role.
The quality and importance given to Rajinikanth's character has not been given to Deepika Padukone's role. Despite paying a huge paycheck to Bollywood diva, the makers of the film have failed to utilise her true potential. All these factors have played spoilsport and made people to express fun over her looks in the mega-budget film.
Read Kochadaiiyaan Review | Write Reviews | Box Office Report | Movie Stills
A Deepika's fan on social media writes, "All these years, I thought Deepika Padukone was beautiful and was pleasant to eyes. But Kochadaiiyaan gives me different feel all together." Her animated character is not up to the mark and audience easily had high expectations. The vivibly flaws are: her eyes doesn't roll and hand-feet movements doesn't synchronise and looks like they are dangling.
The only silverline of the Bollywood girl is that she has got an action scene that definetly required a serious talent. She wins the heart of the audience in it. Continue reading on the slideshow to see some funny statements on Deepika and to read what some critics have to say...

Didn't see this thread in the first few pages and the search function is offline right now. Anyway, these are my comeback/breakout players of 2014. Feel free to add an explanation for your choices as well.
Vance McDonald: I honestly don't know why McDonald had such a bad rookie year. Yes, the passing offense was terrible but I thought for sure he'd get more attention because teams would be more focused on Davis and AB. I'm invested to see what he'll do in Training Camp, but I expect him to have more of an impact this season. Maybe around 500+ yards and 4+ TDs.
Chris Culliver: Culliver was my favorite corner coming into the 2013 season -- before his knee injury. Now it's Brock, but I still like his physicality and his toughness. I'm pulling for him to start this season, provided we don't pull off a major trade in May and draft Justin Gilbert (My current draft crush). I'd say 4+ INTs with 10+ pass breakups.

Here's how the proposal would work
Q. What does this Senate cybersecurity proposal seek to do?
Cybersecurity training enters the spotlightHow DOD's certification program works
A. It would require that all government employees and contractors be certified and licensed if they provide cybersecurity services to an agency or for an information system the president designates as critical infrastructure.
Q. How many cybersecurity workers would be affected by the new requirement?
A. Certainly tens of thousands, though precise numbers are difficult to determine because the government does not have a separate job classification for cybersecurity workers.
Q. Is there a difference between certification and licensing?
A. IT certifications traditionally are created and administered by companies and nonprofit industry organizations. Licensing entails some government role in developing or approving the program.
Q. What kinds of training would be included in certification or licensing?
A. The Senate proposal does not state whether the government should use existing commercial programs or develop its own.
Q. Are there any similar requirements already in place in the government?
A. There are no governmentwide programs, but in 2004, the Defense Department started requiring certifications — but not licensing — for all workers who handle information assurance tasks. The requirement applies to 90,000 employees, but only about 30 percent of them have been certified through the program so far.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
If certification were a solution, we would have solved the cybersecurity challenge many years ago. Certainly more workforce training, while not a panacea, can help teach workers how to respond to known cybersecurity attacks. But workforce training is not certification, and organizations, not Congress, are in the best position to determine what the most appropriate and effective training is for their workers. Organizations know that simply getting their employees a certification will not solve their security challenges. Having certified employees does not mean firewalls will be configured securely, computers will have up-to-date patches, or employees won't write passwords on the back of keyboards.
Read my full analysis of this issue here: http://itif.org/files/WM-2009-05-certification.pdf
Unfortuntately, certification and licensing process has become more about revenue generation than ensuring the individual is acqually qualified. In a few short years, training centers offering "Certification" training have sprung up all over. Even when sponsored by well meaning individuals, they quickly become more a status symbol for the holder and a source of revenue for the offeror. When manadated, those offering the training will be jump the price to training, increasing the costs to the individual or their employeer who must now have the certification/license to be gainfully employeed. Do hackers have to be licensed and certified. I would rather hire a very talanted individual then someone who has certifications and little or no experiance.Worse, while we are all out working on our certifications to get our licenses, who is going to be minding the store.

text: Watertown Watertown airport switching flights from Chicago to Philly as airlines merge By Joanna Richards • Mar 3, 2014 Joanna Richards / WRVO The Watertown airport has been much busier since it started offering direct air service to Chicago rather than Albany just over two years ago. Now, the merger between American Airlines and U.S. Airways is causing a switch in destination again. Direct flights to Philadelphia will replace those to Chicago beginning May 8. A regional carrier for American Airlines now provides the Chicago service. American merged with U.S. Airways in December. Philadelphia, a hub for U.S. Airways, is closer, and therefore a cheaper major hub for the airline to get to from Watertown. Ft. Drum may fare better than other bases, but cuts still likely By Joanna Richards • Feb 27, 2014 Joanna Richards / WRVO Since Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel detailed his proposal for deep military cutbacks Monday, officials in Watertown have been trying to divine what that could mean for Fort Drum. They believe the Army post is well-positioned – but that doesn't mean it won't take a hit. The military is already in downsizing mode as the war in Afghanistan winds down. But Hagel's plan calls for deeper cuts, including shrinking the Army to its smallest size since before World War II. Buyout could mean growth for Watertown employer Stream By Joanna Richards • Jan 14, 2014 Listen Listening... / 0:44 There have been a lot of questions in the wake of an announcement that the Stream Global Services Watertown call center will be sold. The company that's buying it says if anything, the sale should make workers optimistic. Clinic taking steps toward financial health By Joanna Richards • Jan 13, 2014 Joanna Richards Listen Listening... / 1:46 A clinic in Watertown that serves many needy children is taking steps toward better financial health after nearly closing abruptly in October. Watertown Stream call center's parent company selling to rival By Joanna Richards • Jan 10, 2014 The Stream Global Services call center in Watertown will change hands when its parent company is bought by a rival, according to Reuters. It's not clear what effect that might have on the 700 employees who work there. Don Alexander heads the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency. He says Stream's significance to the area's economy can't be overstated and the company has been a good employer. Lights, calm returning after ice storm, but some dangers remain By Joanna Richards • Dec 24, 2013 Joanna Richards The lights are coming back on in Jefferson County after the ice storm left most residents in the dark for some period over the weekend. National Grid says it expects to restore power to nearly all customers by midnight tonight. Sixteen-hundred field workers from as far away as New Jersey and the Ohio Valley are helping to make that happen. Despite the progress, the utility says some customers could be in the dark through Christmas. North Country scraping its way out of blanket of ice By Joanna Richards • Dec 23, 2013 Joanna Richards Updated at 3:40 p.m. Counseling service latest Watertown health care provider to get a lifeline By Joanna Richards • Dec 16, 2013 Joanna Richards The North Country Family Health Center, in Watertown, is still working to gain long-term financial stability after nearly closing in October. Now, another Watertown health care provider is getting a bailout to stay afloat. This time, it's Family Counseling Service of Northern New York. Ski season gets underway By Joanna Richards • Dec 12, 2013 Joanna Richards The winter sports season is underway in the north country. Thanks to the pre-Thanksgiving snowstorm, some skiers in Jefferson County got an early start this year. A snowboarder twists and slides to a stop at Dry Hill Ski Area in Watertown. He unclips his boots and dashes into the clubhouse to warm up. Josh Askins and a friend cozy up to the big stone fire pit. "We were snowboarding, then we came inside to sit next to the fire. It smells really nice," he says. Askins teaches snowboarding lessons here. Work begins on Watertown's Woolworth building By Joanna Richards • Dec 5, 2013 Joanna Richards Listen Listening... / 0:58 Work has begun to revive a long-vacant eyesore at the center of downtown Watertown. Soldiers pitch in to help needy celebrate Christmas By Joanna Richards • Dec 1, 2013 Joanna Richards Listen Listening... / 2:09 The Watertown Urban Mission is busy around the holidays. Along with running its regular programs like the food pantry and thrift store, it also distributes warm winter coats and Thanksgiving turkeys, puts on a craft fair, and holds a sale of Christmas items. Fortunately, it's gotten some help from a small army of volunteers – literally. Black Friday alternative at Watertown craft sale By Joanna Richards • Nov 29, 2013 Joanna Richards / WRVO On Black Friday, people cram into stores, treating shopping like a full-contact sport. Others hold off for a calmer experience in front of their computer screens on Cyber Monday. But some people still want a fun, communal holiday shopping experience – minus the chaos. Watertown's annual holiday craft fair is a good option for less competitive shoppers, or people searching for a few unique items. This Sunday, two floors of the Dulles State Office Building will fill with local vendors. Work begins soon to bring Watertown landmark back to life By Joanna Richards • Nov 19, 2013 Joanna Richards The state of Watertown's historic Woolworth building tells you a lot about the health of the city. And for years, the message hasn't been good. But the vacant eyesore is on track to re-emerge as evidence of the downtown's steady improvement. If you put a nose to the building's front window, you can see the story of decline. A big vault door surrounded by moldy clothing shows how a grand bank lobby gave way to a junk shop. And even that business is long gone. Water drips from the ceiling, pooling onto a mess of old merchandise on the floor. Jefferson County entrepreneurs will have harder time finding startup funds By Joanna Richards • Nov 13, 2013 JCIDA Entrepreneurs in Jefferson County are going to have a harder time finding startup money, now that a loan fund meant to help them is running low. That's good news and bad news. Here's the bad news: The Industrial Development Agency's micro-enterprise loan fund is down to about $31,000. That means the next successful applicant is going to drain it dry. "At some point, someone is going to come to the loan fund for dollars for their business, and we won't have any to lend," says Don Alexander, IDA chief. Winter crows invade Watertown By Joanna Richards • Nov 11, 2013 Joanna Richards Listen Listening... / 2:37 Every winter, Alfred Hitchcock's classic horror movie, "The Birds" gets a replay in Watertown. But not on the silver screen. Thousands of crows fly in from the countryside to roost overnight. The city's trying to evict them. Watertown City Council: incumbent Macaluso, newcomer Jennings win seats in four-way contest By Joanna Richards • Nov 6, 2013 Joanna Richards Watertown's City Council contest pitted two fiscally conservative incumbents against two political newcomers who want city government to think more broadly about its role. The voters went for one of each. Small business owner Teresa Macaluso led the pack by a comfortable margin to keep her seat for a second four-year term. She says good budget management will always be her top priority. "Without a budget, a balanced budget, we don't get any of the services that we want, things fall behind, and then before you know it, you're in trouble," she said. Watertown council candidates get last word before election day By Joanna Richards • Nov 3, 2013 Joanna Richards Watertown's City Council hopefuls got one final chance before tomorrow's election to make their case at a meet-the-candidates event last week. The four opponents advocate different roles for city government. The race pits two incumbents who see a limited role for city government against a pair of political newcomers with broader visions for what the council can do to improve residents' lives. Public helps shape state study on health patterns near Air Brake site By Joanna Richards • Oct 23, 2013 Justin Sorenson, Watertown Daily Times Earlier this week, a researcher from the state Health Department met with Watertown residents from the neighborhood near the New York Air Brake plant. The Health Department has agreed to study the area's disease patterns because residents suspect that pollution from the plant has made people sick. Children's Clinic, WIC funded for at least six months By Zach Hirsch • Oct 17, 2013 Joanna Richards/WRVO Last week was a rough one for the North Country Children's Clinic in Watertown. As the non-profit confronted mounting financial problems, it announced that it had to close. Then, on Thursday, local lawmakers jumped in to keep the center open for at least another month. Now, the clinic says it has secured funding for another six months. When the North Country Children's Clinic announced its closure last week, it was really bracing for the worst. UPDATE: North Country Children's Clinic gets last-minute rescue By Joanna Richards • Oct 11, 2013 FDRHPO Listen Listening... / 1:04 A last-minute deal was struck Thursday to rescue a long-standing health care safety net for needy north country children. The North Country Children's Clinic in Watertown announced Tuesday that it would close suddenly, at the end of the week, because of dire financial problems. Now, the clinic has gotten at least another month of life. Watertown primary decides city council candidates, draws few voters By Gino Geruntino • Sep 11, 2013 Four of the six candidates running for Watertown City Council, including the race's two incumbents, are moving on to the general election in November, following Tuesday's primary election.Incumbent candidates Teresa Macaluso and Jeffrey Smith took the top two spots, with 575 and 454 votes, respectively. Challenger Stephen Jennings also had a strong showing, falling only two votes shy of Smith. Cody Horbacz also moves on to the November election.Jasmine Borreffine and Rodney LaFave received the lowest totals and were eliminated from the race. Watertown meets primary candidates for City Council By Joanna Richards • Sep 6, 2013 Joanna Richards Watertown is holding a primary election next Tuesday for two seats on the City Council. The election is non-partisan, so all six candidates are running for the chance to move on to the general election in November. A Meet-the-Candidates event was held Thursday at the city's Italian-American Civic Association. The candidates weighed in on issues ranging from economic development, to fluoride in the water supply, to making Watertown a more welcoming place for dogs during the two-hour question-and-answer session. Several dozen people came to listen. Comptroller DiNapoli: Watertown in good fiscal health By Joanna Richards • Jun 13, 2013 Joanna Richards Listen Listening... / 1:22 State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli came to Watertown on Wednesday to commend the city's leadership on its sound financial stewardship. DiNapoli's office is rolling out a program of annual fiscal "stress tests" for municipalities and school districts. And the comptroller said Watertown sets an example for prudent financial planning. Fluoride for all? Why communities do and don't add it to their water By WRVO News • May 17, 2013 In the last several years, about 140 communities across the country have decided to stop added fluoride to their water supplies. In November, the village of Pulaski's water board voted to no long put fluoride in their water. Earlier this week, the Watertown City Council heard arguments that they should do the same thing. Communities like these worry the element could be harming their citizens, corroding their pipes or feel like it's just a government intrusion. This trend comes despite dentists and the Centers for Disease Control calling fluoridation of water a major public health advancement of the last century. Lorraine Rapp and Linda Lowen, hosts of WRVO's weekly health and wellness show "Take Care" recently spoke about this controversial issue with Dr. William Bowen, a dental health expert and professor at the University of Rochester Medical Center, who has also worked for the Food and Drug Administration and the CDC. North Country news giant John Johnson Jr. steps down from Watertown Daily-Times By Joanna Richards • May 6, 2013 Joanna Richards After a long career devoted to documenting – and shaping – North Country life, John Johnson Jr. is far from calling it quits. But he is stepping down from daily oversight at the Watertown Daily Times and its parent company, Johnson Newspapers, helping to make way for a new generation of family leadership. Developers stress urgency in revival of Watertown Woolworth building By Joanna Richards • Apr 8, 2013 Joanna Richards After founding his first stores elsewhere, Jefferson County's Frank Winfield Woolworth bought the building in Watertown where he got his start in the dry goods business, intending to raze it and build one of his own stores. Woolworth died before he could see it, but his company realized his plan and the building's a central part of the early history of the five-and-dime chain. After years of vacancy, two developers have plans to revive the landmark. North Country Arts Council brings out kids' creativity By Joanna Richards • Mar 31, 2013 Joanna Richards The North Country Arts Council has been a growing force for cultural activity in the Watertown area since its inception in 2009. The group aims to spotlight the work of regional artists, but it also hopes to draw more community members into arts activities too. Over the schools' winter break this year, the organization offered a day full of different art workshops for kids at its home on Public Square. Watertown City Council tries to ban roommates – but planning officials say measure is unenforceable By Joanna Richards • Mar 8, 2013 City of Watertown The Watertown City Council has received a lot of pushback and even ridicule in the media recently for passing what's being referred to as a "roommate ban." Last month, in response to a neighbor dispute, the City Council removed language from the zoning code that allowed the renting out of rooms in single-family homes. But city planning officials say the regulatory change is completely unenforceable. Twenty-year-old starts second business with purchase of Watertown commercial building By Joanna Richards • Feb 25, 2013 Joanna Richards Many 16-year-olds might dream about starting their own business. But it takes a special kind of teenager to turn an operation launched in his parents' basement into a six-figure profit earner in just four years. After succeeding wildly with his web development and design company, North Shore Solutions, Clarkson University junior Matthew Turcotte, now age 20, is embarking on his second venture: commercial real estate. Watertown scares away nuisance crows By Joanna Richards • Jan 15, 2013 Joanna Richards It's an eerie sight – every winter, around dusk each night, a flock of between 20,000 and 30,000 crows gathers in the trees around the Black River in Watertown. They can be a neat sight against the white winter landscape, but the city wants them gone. That's because they squawk and poop and generally annoy a lot of city residents. The city has hired a wildlife management company to disperse the birds. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next › last »

Seeing the 1 Year freshness on the forums, as well as this only being good up to WordPress version behind current 3.9.1, I'm thinking I'm wasting my time.
But just in case someone is watching this space.
When we install the plugin Rename-Wp-Login
When using Rename-Wp-Login in conjunction with Verve SSL, we get the frustrating
"You must log in to access the admin area." error message. If we try again it takes on the second try. Annoying and ultimately time consuming.
It appears that since Verve SSL is probably not being updated, we should move on to something else that helps manager our SSL.
But if someone does see this, suggestions appreciated.
Thanks, MTN

3. They stated they could do it over 3 payments, and ship it out by that Friday ALONG WITH THE BONUSES.
4. Got my bank statement and found out they took out one payment of $1,012.00

I'm sure this is a great plugin.
A little more documentation,
Maybe 2-3 screenshots that shows an example will make this plugin most popular.
I'm sure this works if you already know how to hand code up some jQuery UI in WordPress. So I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.
Sadly, I don't know enough about jQuery to use this plugin. I put what I thought (based on reading up in the jQuery docs for the accordion widget) was supposed to go in the custom code box, as well as the html from the jQuery examples.
I think there should be some prominent language near the top of the plugin page that explains exactly what a novice is getting into here. I gave it a good try, but was unable to diagnose what I was doing wrong. In the past I've never had any trouble hooking up jQuery in my projects.

I am trying to install Arch onto my Dell Dimensions l866r. I have installed Arch before but I am getting a problem this time.
I go through the installation fine, then I get to the part where you select what things you want to install. The "select packages" part. I leave the default checked ones alone and only check sudo, and some of the command things on the last part of the list.
I then continue but when it is installing the packages and getting them ready it says this:
bsdcpio: failed to set default locale
And after the install it says this for the login:
(none) Login:
And when I login as root, it says:
It has done this both times I have installed it. And so a minute ago I tried running "pacman -Syu" and this is what it gave me:
I just installed it, so it shouldn't have to update. But the first two warnings and how it says (none) confuses me.Code:
warning: database file for "extra" does not exist
warning: database file for "community" does not exist
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra 1384.5 KiB 805k/s 00:02 [#####(not exact amount of #'s)######] 100%
community 1651.8 KiB 1754K/s 00:01 [####(not exact amount)] 100%
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
I also ran pacman -S chkrootkit and it installed fine and the program ran fine. And even after rebooting chkrootkit was still installed and ran fine.
I could even make a user "jreidsma" and login with it.
Any ideas? Should I try downloading the ISO again and reinstalling? Or did I forget and miss something. It has been a while sense I installed Arch.
I ran hostname l866r and it changed it to l866r login and [root@l866r ~]
I also did this to my other computer, it had the same problem.
But after rebooting it went back to (none)

Skip to comments.Oriana Fallaci asks: Is Muslim immigration to Europe a conspiracy?
Posted on 03/16/2006 11:00:36 AM PST by Leisler
click here to read article
Laughable claim. Considering that 1. Mexicans are racially mixed, with "white" among their gene pool 2. Generally hate blacks more than whites when the come here and 3. 1/3 of all Mexican American females, of ANY generation, intermarry with us gringos. Doesn't sound like the "anti-white nationalist" fantasy of yours.
Europe depends on the Mohammedans and cannot do without them unless they begin wholesale importing of Mexicans or Chinese.The Europeans have chosen not to propagate and must have the immigrants to provide the wealth that will support the Europeans in their old age. The Saracen, however, will not do that. When Islam reaches some critical point, a "tipping point," then Mohammedans will make the rules and the rules will exclude the infidels from care and benefits.When Islam becomes ascendant and makes the rules not only will the infidels be cut off but the advent of sharia will signal a serious and irreversible economic decline. The old folks will have to rely on their progeny for care and survival and they foreswore progeny in their youth.
Because satan never sleeps.
And America is not going to pull their chestnuts out of the fire this time.
Yep, and I would never trade with them.
As birthrates continue to decline among Americans of European decent, it may well be that the final battle for the west will be fought primarily by Americans of Mexican decent. Hispanics are the fastest growing members of our armed forces. Tough as nails in a fight, macho and proud Americans.
We are going to have to re-open Ells Island to accommodate the next mass exodus of fleeing Europeans.
Europe is toast but the US has plenty of fight left in her.
To poorly paraphrase something President Lincoln said, All the armies of the world could not step one foot on the Blue Ridge Mountains or take a drink from the Ohio River. If our end is to come it will be from within.
I could not agree with Lincoln more and we all know who I am talking about.
It could be any number of RATs or RINOs.
I don't think it's "hypocritical" to take a different attitude towards Muslim immigration than toward Mexican immigration. They are quite different. Compared with Muslims, Mexicans are, in my opinion, much to be preferred.
Mexicans are culturally Western (if not Northern): Spain being Western Europe, and Spanish and Portuguese being closely derived from Latin, the classical language of the West; and Central America being Western Hemisphere, and Christian for the past 400+ years.
Unlike Muslims, Mexicans are not culturally committed to polygamy; genital mutilation; the whipping of women who show their bare elbows and knees; the physical destruction of most of the art, music, and literature of the West; the sawing-off of the heads of apostates; and other ugly domestic and judicial behaviors based on the Hadiths and the Qu'ran.
Despite a tiny number of sillies-on-stilts who talk about "Aztlan" (mostly at a University near you), the vast majority of Mexican-Americans don't want anything even remotely resembling a worldwide racial or religious caliphate.
Suppose (and this is not theology, not prophecy, and certainly not politics, just a "supposal") suppose, --- since demography abhors a vacuum--- God is allowing us to experience the logical consequences of aborting 50,000,000 American babies, by replacing them one-for-one with Mexicans.
If that's the case, I'd say thank God that what we face, mostly, is more taxes, more crowded ER's, higher fertility, more day-laborers, more kindergarten kids, more salsa, more ai Chihuahua!, higher GNP, more fiestas, more Nuestra Senora and more Jesucristo--- and not jihad, dhimmitude, and Shari'a law.
Yeah, the white Mexican elite will shoot themselves in the foot just because we're going to build a fence.
They need our dollars far more than we need their oil.
They are not going to take a multi-billion dollar loss because we build a fence.
Are you sure? A recent poll taken in Mexico indicated a clear majority of Mexicans (a fiercly nationalistic lot themselves) consider the SW United States rightfully belongs to Mexico.
That attitude might not matter much to international institutions such as the catholic church but it sure a heck matters to a large number of Americans, including your's truly.
Outstanding article.
I wasn't trying to suggest that - I was just pointing out for those who don't know, that they are our second largest source of imported oil.
This is not a new idea. For decades, the left has supported the "peace" movement. Disarming us so they can win by incrementalism. Trouble is, it's working.
I hadn't heard that. Can you get me a link?
Of course, the SW USA was Mexico for at least 150 years (depending upon what year you consider that the Spanish claim was made reality, not just as a label on a map but as a fait accompli.) Throughout the 18th century, Catholic missionaries established missions in Texas, New Mexico, California, etc. and the Spanish and later Mexican authorities established towns and cities.
In the early 19th century, the English-speaking Americans established their claims e.g. in Texas precisely through immigration--- at first legal, and then illegal. And the Mexican-American War wrapped up the deal: the illegal immigrants (Anglos) stole the place fair and square.
Now before you flame me up one side and down the other, I'm just citing this as history, not policy. I am not at all an Aztlanista.
Many of the citizens of this country are armed to the teeth, just look at some of the BANG threads here. The same can't be said about Europe. We're in far better shape should the worst happen.
I wouldn't use the word 'conspiracy', but it was definitely a plan to infiltrate every country of the world. I agree with her 100%.
>"Whats alarming is the level to which the 'right' has accepted the conspirators' premise & language that has effectively blinded the west and is preventing them from doing anything to protect itself."
"For example Rush's recent adaptation (apparently without pausing to recognize the irony of it being one of his opponents' favorite tactics) of the anti-arab race card."<
-good point, very ironic. I love el Rushbo, but I've been scratching my head about that one also.

II. Narrative Analysis
7. Do you agree or disagree that the territory of the United States Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico?
Agree 58%
Disagree 28
Not sure/Dont know 14
By two to one, more Mexican respondents agree (58%) than disagree (28%) that the territory of the United States Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico. One in seven (14%) is not sure.
A majority within almost every sub-group agrees that territory of the Southwest U.S. belongs to Mexico. Among the most likely to agree are more than three in five 18-29 year-olds (61%), those with a secondary education (64%) or who have some university education (66%), and people whose political party is mostly Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) (70%), and mostly or somewhat Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) (62% average).
More than one-third of university graduates (39%), and the adults whose political affiliation is mostly National Action Party (PAN) (35%) or who belong to no party (35%) disagree that the territory of the Southwest U.S. belongs to Mexico. Men (31%) are slightly more likely than women (26%) to disagree.
More than one in five adults 50 and older (22%) are not sure.
I don't believe Obama is a moslem. Not that I like him any more for not being one.
Thanks for this rather stunning information. Yikes. Sounds like the Mexican educational system is about as effective as the Madrassas in terms of preparing a generation of irredentists.
The SW USA was "Mexican" in a legal sense for about 27 years.
In the early 19th century, the English-speaking Americans established their claims e.g. in Texas precisely through immigration--- at first legal, and then illegal. And the Mexican-American War wrapped up the deal: the illegal immigrants (Anglos) stole the place fair and square.
"Anglo" (meaning American) immigration was not only accepted but encouraged because of mexican inability to govern the land, at least in Texas. Texas sought independence - whites and many hispanics alike - only after the constitution of 1821 was overthrown.
As far as the the rest of the SW being 'stolen' buy the US in 1848, I guess that term can be used to describe just about every geopolitical border of any consequence on earth. In this case I say thank God, as did most of the local inhabitants of those lands at the time of their annexation.
That's true only if you count from Mexican Independence. There's CENTURIES of Spanish Mexican *Nueva Espana" history before that.
By the close of the sixteenth century the conquest from Guatamala to New Mexico had been accomplished as a matter of practical fact. This made the Spanish political claim credible, although it was the issionaries who really spread Spanish/Mexican culture.
The Catholic See (Diocese) of Mexico was founded in 1530. From this and other New World dioceses missionaries were sent to evangelize the Indians of the southwestern portions of the United States. (The southeastern portion of what is now the United States --- Florida--- was ecclesiastically dependent upon Santiago de Cuba and later Havana.)
Spanish missionaries, chiefly Franciscans, Dominicans and Jesuits established numerous missions in what are now the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. In 1565 a royal Spanish grant was issued to colonize Florida with the condition that twelve religious and four Jesuits be maintained. This colony founded St. Augustine, the oldest Catholic city in this country.
The first mission work in New Mexico was started by seven Franciscans in 1598 at San Juan, on the banks of the Rio del Norte, thirty-three years after the founding of St. Augustine, and from this base priests were sent into the surrounding territory and the New Mexican missions established.
In 1687 missions were established in what is now the State of Arizona by a Jesuit priest from Sonora, and after 1732 St. Francis and St. Miguel became the centers of missionary work.
The beginning of Spanish missions in Texas dates from 1689, when three friars and a Franciscan established the mission of San Francisco de Los Texas.
In 1769 an expedition left Mexico for California and among its members were three Franciscans. A chapel was erected at San Diego, the first step toward planting the Catholic church on the western coast.
By 1773 there were five missionsSan Diego, San Gabriel, San Luis Obispo, San Antonio and San Carlos in California. In 1775 the missions of San Juan Capistrino and San Francisco were founded and in 1777 Santa Clara mission. Forty-three years after the founding of the first mission there were eighteen missions in California.
Thanks for the info. Although I live not ten miles from two missions, Santa Clara & San Jose, my favorite has always been San Juan Batista. Even in spite of the recent development in the area the mission and town is still reeks of 'old California'.
I agree. But I fear if Mex. has economic problems the people there might elect a socialist sloganeering demogog on the order of "El Loco" Chavez in Venezuela. Such a leader might reverse the present policy and adopt one of "reconquista" militarism, you know, with the banners, parades, goose-stepping troops, tanks rumbling thru the streets, etc. I could see such a regime secretly sponsoring a National Liberation movement engaging in terrorism in order to turn CA, AZ, MN, and TX into a "people's republic" just before re-unification with the Motherland (Mexico). I don't think such a scenario is all that far from reality. I don't think our jello-spined pols would have the stones to do what needed to be done in such a situation, either. I hope I'm wrong about this, but I don't think the people would really have the stones to resist it.
**I don't believe Obama is a moslem. Not that I like him any more for not being one.**
Not sure if he is or not, but here's a thread on the subject.
His father was moslem but had nothing to do with his upbringing which was in christian schools.
Thanks for a excellent article. The read was very worth it.
Before you get all tied up in knots elevating Sra Fallaci to sainthood,check out her views.
Oriana Fallaci may have some right answers about Eurabia, but at root, she hates all religion.
She hates the Islamo-fascists for being religious extremists, but she also hates Christians and Jews who she believes have extremest fundamentalist views. She makes the moral equivalence of all people of faith.
She is an atheist to the core, and still a very left wing one at that!
Read David Horowitz FRONTPAGE Magazine for her views.
Bump! Thanks for posting this article.
Didn't OBL himself once say his plan was to populate Europe ?
thanks for the ping, brilliant and scary.
About three years ago I had a nasty exchange (via Internet) with a liberal woman in Holland regarding Bush/Iraq/terrorism. For her, Bush was the personification of evil, on the verge of implementing a totalitarian Christian theocracy in the USA and sending American troops to take over Holland. I told her a couple of simple facts: (1) she was an idiot; and (2) the day would soon come when the Islamic threat to her freedoms would become palpable, and that she and her fellow countrymen would have to lay aside their anti-American silliness and face up to some very unpleasant domestic realities.
Seems like it is time to get back in touch with your "friend" and ask how she feels now....
Of course, WE still need to watch out...I heard audio of a group of Islamisists in New York recently calling for the NEW Holocaust, meaning US!!
By the way, the reason I messaged you on the old Fallaci thread is that yesterday I bought her book, "The Force of Reason," so I was checking out threads about her. The book is frightening: what we are facing is the selling out of Western civilization, the suicide of the West, as it's been called, undertaken by the far Left and liberal elites in a manner that is deliberate, conscious, and yet symptomatic of a collective mania of arrogant stupidity and naivete. In other words, the Left is trying to bring down Western civilization, but they really don't grasp what that will mean for them personally. They don't understand that all they claim to hold dear - intellectual freedom, secularism, freedom of conscience, the rights of women, human rights in general, will be utterly destroyed. We really don't have much time to turn this around.
Hi Steve
Reading this article and several posts from 2006 i can confirm the immigration process and domination through birth of muslims is getting out of hand here in the Netherlands/Rotterdam. Lot of kids start to use arabic slang in there daily conversations.
Our family of 5 have won the DV-2014 and are moving to seattle WA because we feel holland isn't the right place for us anymore.( it seems we have found a way out)
I feel most dutch citizens don't care for the things they see enfolding before there eyes and look the other way

Posted on 12/16/2007 8:37:35 AM PST by Grzegorz 246
LVOV, December 16 (RIA Novosti) - The planet's oldest living person, Grigoriy Nestor, died at the age of 116 in the Lvov Region in western Ukraine on Sunday.
According to church documents and his passport, Nestor was born on March 15, 1891.
Nestor, who worked as a shepherd in the village, used to say that he had lived to an old age because he had never been married and had not had his nervous system "undermined on the marital front."
Nestor, who loved Ukrainian, Russian, German and Polish songs as he learnt them after living through the first and second world wars in his west Ukrainian village, actually never fell ill, never took any medicines and never used alcohol in large amounts.
According to Guinness World Records, today the world's oldest living person is 115-year-old Emiliano Mercado del Toro of Puerto Rico who assumed this title after Elizabeth Bolden, an African American woman, died at the age of 116 years and 118 days in 2006.
So who's the oldest dead person?
It sounds like he would have been in interesting man to know.
Ummmm, that would be Adam.
Or are you asking who lived the longest before they died?
Well, it is true that women usually outlive men.
this is a bit of an oxymoron, isn't it?
This is if you don't want to believe the Bible.
clearly their problems predate the revolution.
no wonder they fell to a godless, atheistic regime.
That title 'Oldest Living Person' , seems to be cursed.
so...then what exactly is the documented lifespan of Adam?
Or could it be Abel.
Yeah. Just in terms of background, does anyone have any data on how many of these "World's Oldest Person"-types actually die?
My bet would be that 20-30 years from now, there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of folks that old in the US.
Nutrition, genetics, medical advances, fine cigars...
There's a common nutritional supplement that has been shown over and over in animals to increase their lifespan by a third.
He lived that long because he took vitamin supplements with antioxymorons.
Yep, if you believe the Bible, Methusela had the longest lifespan of any human.
You had to be pretty tough to make it in the Ukraine during the first 60 years of his life.
Were we talking about the oldest person who was dead, or the person who lived the longest that was dead?
LOL, all in the way you read the question.
Isn't it funny how Russians can eat stone soup, survive drowning under the ice of the river after being shot and poisoned, get through the horrors of Stalingrad in WW2, and put up with Soviet Communism for 70 years...but the marital front scares the guvna (sp?) out of them.
Heart stops.
dunno - all I know is 116 is way to long to live!
All of them.
How can he be the oldest "living" person if he is dead?
I plan on 119 myself. Just so I can see the Tricentinnial.
You gotta set goals. ;^)
I spread out my 6 packs over a one hour period ... I never drink them all at once either.
The freaky thing reading about Calment in the late 90s was that she met Vincent Van Gogh.
That, and she made a reverse mortgage deal with some middle-aged guy when she was about 90 — she would get a monthly payment until she died, and he gets her condo after that. He died before she did. Has to be the worst investment ever since the value of the condo was paid in 10 years.
And here I thought the "world's oldest living person" died about 6 months ago at age 114.
Makes me seriously question my math skills.
Not only simply a wise old man, a true world-class philosopher!
MEMO TO SELF: Avoid becoming the world's oldest living person, or you'll die!
The word "documented" is infinitely elastic. Dragons be there.
Don't go there.
For myself, I know what "documented" is, and no holy book on earth qualifies. Otherwise there would be no need to invent (or use) the word Faith.
Jorge Luis Borges, the noted Argentinian writer of "fantastic literature", including "made up" classic non-fiction, covers the whimsical nature of this topic quite well.
The second oldest person now refuses to walk across a street.........
They do seem to die soon after receiving that title, don't they!
Current conventional common wisdom: smoking.
I made a curious discovery a number of years ago, perhaps 10 or so years past: in a discussion similar to this one there was a list of the modern 10 longest-lived persons, and their documented age.
All of them smoked most of their lives, with three of them smoking past age 100.
Ironically it occured during the "smoking" hysteria and the monumental penalty extracted from smokers in the U.S. via the tobacco companies.
Someone should have told her what cold weather does to face lifts, botox and silicone injections.
Jeanne Calment was asked on one of her last birthdays, maybe the 120th or 121st, what she expected the rest of her life to be like. Her answer was "short."
The oldest people I have ever met in person have been 101--two of them, both women, one of whom is still alive.
the 120 year maximum is as we say "lav davka" (not exactly) In other words, it's a round number.
Theres a common nutritional supplement that has been shown over and over in animals to increase their lifespan by a third.
I thought it was called "not eating so much"
Except for the interesting folk song knowledge and sheep savvy.......sound like a pretty dull 116 years. Then again, living there for 116 years without succumbing to the desire to kill yourself is a amazing accomplishment.
According to Guinness World Records, today the world's oldest living person is 115-year-old Emiliano Mercado del Toro of Puerto Rico who assumed this title after Elizabeth Bolden, an African American woman, died at the age of 116 years and 118 days in 2006.
What! They only count years and days? I think they should get in down to at least hours and minutes. Parting gifts to the losers.

Sitting in my room
Okay. SU done.
Name: Robin Harleen Hamilton
Nickname: She goes by the name of 'Noir' nowadays.
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Region: Hoenn
Standing at about five feet and five inches, Noir has a slim body which she uses to her advantage in order to survive. Her skin is slightly tanned and her wavy, honey and slightly messy hair reaches her shoulders. She has yellow eyes that seem to change depending on her mood; usually, when stressed and aware, they look intense and brighter, but the few times she is calm they look soft and more golden. Between this eyes is a small nose with some freckles that one can only notice when standing very close to her, which usually is not allowed.
As for the clothing, she usually wears a black tank top, along with some padded shorts which have green pads and are black between them. She also adds a green cap with a black visor and a yellow ring above it, and a padded jacket similar to her shorts for when the weather requires it. Now, if by any reason she has to dress formally, she sports a black cocktail dress. There is one thing in common between those two outfits: a black mask that covers her eyes (Much like Gym Leader Brycen's).
If you wanted to define how Robin-I mean Noir- is, you would say she is a girl with a lot of courage and determination. But although one might think that she's a fearless fighter because of that, then you're wrong, as she's actually, well, the exact opposite. A mixture of fear of getting caught, anxiety and a desire to take justice into her hands is what actually drives her.
What drives her also makes her a very territorial and somewhat jealous girl. You will be in trouble if you go near what she considers her 'turf' without her actual consent, so do it at your own risk. But if you manage to get her guard down with you, and earn her trust, she'll immediately give you hers and will get attached to you, maybe a tad too much. You will be part of her 'turf', which despite the creepy sound of it has some advantages, as she will try to protect you at any cost. And once you're 'hers', it is definitely not a good idea to betray her.
Robin Hamilton was born to a wealthy yet loving family from Lilycove City. They lived in a mansion by the sea, and she had almost anything she desired. Huge plush dolls, cute cushions… But she lacked one thing: Friends. Not only were the kids too unfriendly and jealous about her status to play with her, but also being an only child and the heir to the Hamilton's Fortune made her parents worry about her a lot, and were a little bit overprotective towards her. During a trip to the vast Hoenn Sea, she saw a green Pokémon flying at high speeds across the sky, and she got an interest in Pokémon. Thanks to her parents and books, she gained a lot of knowledge about Pokémon and dreamed of becoming a trainer. She also became very attached to her parents and feared that she'd lose them.
And that fear eventually came true. Unknown to Robin, an evil crime syndicate known as Team Rocket was spreading its influence from Kanto to other regions, and were slowly beginning to take over the world with nobody able to stop them. They eventually got to Hoenn, and took over all Hamilton assets by force. Bruce Hamilton was not willing to go down without a fight, and against his family's wishes, he tried to fight the grunts while his wife and daughter escaped. Poor Robin would never see him again.
What was left of the Hamilton family roamed Hoenn, escaping from Team Rocket which was likely to be after them. But after months of living down to their last dime, they were found. That day, along with the day she lost her father and fortune, would scar Robin for life. Her mother distracted Team Rocket, and allowed Robin to barely escape at the cost of her own life. After this event, she became overly territorial, and swore that Team Rocket would pay for taking her life and dreams away from her. She adopted the name 'Noir' and an outfit which she based on the green Pokémon she saw when she was little.
Password: T, NPC, one.
Other: She is very fond of coffee. Very.

When I went to see my father the next day, he was sleeping and he would often be sleeping most of the times. Kindred loves to administer the drug, ATIVAN to all their patients. When I did see my father one day, he was held down with wrist restraints and his feet were tied as well. It took me ten minutes to remove each wrist restraint, because they were also bound with DUCT TAPE! The wrist restraints were actually cutting off my fathers circulation. The patient advocate there, Kelli Williams and her sidekick, Ingrid Morgan, had the nerve to send me a bill for twenty- four thousand dollars! Without billing my fathers insurance company. first! They also lost my fathers clothes. I saw a CNA going into the draw one day and take out a bag that was in the empty bed next to my father. but did not know that the bag she took out belonged to my father! My father is in a good Nursing home now- thank God. But please do not ever go to Kindred Hospital if you do not have to.

We immediately contacted out financial institution which provided the phone number for GalleriaUSA. The bank representative called for us and was given some explanation about how we signed up for a membership through Sky Mall. I then got on the phone with Lisa #16503. She tried to give me the same explanation but I immediately told her that I know her company scams people and that I wanted my money returned. She promised the money would be replaced in my account within 2 days. This incident occured today so I cannot speak about whether the money was replaced.
When I arrived home, I immediately called Sky Mall (1-800-Sky-Mall) to report that this fraudulent company was using their website as a way to scam their customers out of money. Sky Mall was extremely uncooperative.
Sky Mall put all the responsibility on me for agreeing to the terms of this membership when I placed the order online. They claimed that the invoice (which they emailed to me) listed "Shopping Essentials Program" as a second order.
I responded that none of the correspondence from them reflected any second order, "Shopping Essentials" was never named on my invoice and neither was an additional $96.00 charge. The Sky Mall operator said that she was looking at the invoice which listed all of these things. I asked her to email that invoice to me, which she did immediately. Again there was no listing for "Shopping Essentials" even thought the operator claimed she was looking at it.
I then asked to speak to her manager which she agreed to immediately. However, after being put on hold for a few minutes I was disconnected without ever speaking to a manager.
I tried calling back several more times and got the same sort of run-around which ended with my asking to speak to someone about a customer complaint. I was told there was no one I could speak to about that but I could send an email through their website.
I blame Sky Mall as well as GalleriaUSA for allowing this practice to take place on their website and doing nothing to protect their customers. We plan to file complaints with the Better Business Bureau concerning both of these companies. My husband has also contacte Northwest Airlines, which took his complaint very seriously.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!
