Night time habits that are wrecking your sleep
Who doesn't love a great nights sleep. But if you're like many people, (myself included) you probably have certain routines before bed each night. In looking for ways to optimize my slumber, I did a little research and came across this nifty article.
I wasn't too surprised to learn that I was guilty of several infractions. Bringing a book to bed and working on the computer were obvious no-no's that were confirmed.
As a personal trainer for 10 years in a previous life, I was always advocating for a solid nights rest to my clients to be truly productive for the day ahead. But surprisingly, I overlooked then what I now feel may be the single largest reason people just don't get the rest they need and that's the BED! I know I was in that grouping.
Luckily, there's Essentia!
The world's only natural memory foam mattress. Not only are the beds extremely green and health based, but most importantly, you will experience a level of comfort you didn't know existed. With their pressure activated memory foam, you will sleep like never before.
Ok. So why does this matter to the subject at hand? Because even if you correct 6 of the 7 habits on the above mentioned list, it will not have the impact you desire on your nights rest. The fact is if you don't upgrade your bed, you simply cannot upgrade your sleep, and believe me, you will get a deeper sleep than you've had in years. Not only will the environment thank you, your body will be eternally grateful.
Happy sleeping…..and find the closest Essentia store or visit them online.
Your tomorrow is waiting…..be ready for it!

Most people who take massive open online courses already hold a degree from a traditional institution, according to a new paperfrom the University of Pennsylvania.
The paper is based on a survey of 34,779 students worldwide who took 24 courses offered by Penn professors on the Coursera platform. The findings—among the first from outside researchers, rather than MOOC providers—reinforce the truism that most people who take MOOCs are already well educated.

The Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite has been the best cash back credit card available to Canadians for the past couple of years after the MBNA Smart Cash was slightly devalued, but there were two big things stopping many Canadians, including myself, from applying for one.
- The $99 annual fee.
- No sign up bonus for applying, so why switch?
For the first time ever, and for a limited time, both of those things have changed! Until the end of
May August (extended), both the $99 annual fee has been waived for the first year AND RateSupermarket has teamed up with Scotiabank to offer a $100 gift card of your choice to one of over 50 popular Canadian retailers for applying and being approved.
Why It's The Best Cash Back Card In Canada
It's all in the numbers. This card from Scotia offers 4% cash back on gas and groceries and gives you 2% cash back on drug store purchases and recurring bills. Then you earn 1% cash back on all other purchases with no spending caps or limits on that 1% at all. There are no tiers or other nonsense to deal with either.
This card is the only card that I know of to offer any sort of bonus for recurring bill payments like phone bills, utility bills, insurance, gym membership, subscriptions, etc. Essentially anything that is charged to your card on a monthly basis. This is a huge perk that no other card can compete with.
The only minor downside to the card that I can think of is there is a very reasonable spending cap of $25,000 on both the 4% and 2% bonus categories for a combined total of $50,000 in spending across those two categories. I don't know many people who spend $25,000 on gas and groceries and another $25,000 on drug store and recurring bill payments. If you do, you're definitely not an average Canadian!
Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite vs. MBNA Smart Cash World MasterCard
The closest competitor is the MBNA Smart Cash World MasterCard that offers 2% cash back on gas and groceries and 1% cash back on all other purchases after the initial 5% bonus on gas and groceries for 6 months has expired (this is the Smart Cash sign up bonus). However, the big drawback with MBNA is that there is now a $400 per month spending cap on the gas and groceries bonus equating to only $4800 in spending that qualifies for the 2% bonus per year, which is pretty low.
So not only do you earn twice as much with the Momentum Visa at 4%, you can earn the full 4% on up to $25,000 in spending instead of $4800. Quite a difference. Even without the $99 annual fee being waived for the first year and the $100 gift card, it still usually makes more financial sense for most people to choose the Momentum over the Smart Cash.
Example Of The Cash Back Potential
When I do credit card comparisons, I like to run examples that involve $25,000 in annual spending applied to the card. The reason I choose this number is because I feel that it is a number that most middle income families in Canada can easily achieve if they funnel all their purchases and expenses through the card. It isn't that hard when you use one primary credit card for everything you buy.
The other parameters I usually apply are 30% of the annual spending allocated to the gas and grocery bonus category and, for this card, I'm going to say that 20% of the spending would go towards recurring bills and drug store purchases. Those percentages could in reality be even higher, but I think they are fair enough estimates to give a decent picture of cash back earning potential.
|Spending Category
|Annual spending
|Momentum Visa Cash Back
|Smart Cash MasterCard Cash Back
|Gas & Groceries
|Drugstore & Recurring Bills
|Other Purchases
So you can see the Momentum is the clear winner with $227 more cash back earned every year . Even if you account for the $99 annual fee from year 2 onward you're still $128 ahead each year. Also, $7500 isn't actually that much in terms of gas and groceries. It equates to about $310 per month if it is split evenly across both gas and groceries. Many families would spend much more than that in both categories, so the cash back numbers get significantly better for the Momentum Visa if that is the case.
How To Get Your $100 Gift Card And First Year Annual Fee Waived
All you have to do is click over to the promo page here:
Then, you just need to fill out the short form on the RateSupermarket promo page to get registered for your $100 free gift card. From there, you will be directed to Scotiabank's website to complete the credit card application.
After you finish your application, you should be approved either immediately or a short while after you apply and you will receive your new card in the mail within a few weeks. Once approved, RateSupermarket will contact you by email to instruct you on how to claim your $100 gift card.
It's that simple.
Common Questions
What If I Don't Meet the Minimum Income Requirements?
Some people see the minimum income requirements of an Infinite card and are turned off from applying because of that. These requirements are more guidelines that hard lines in the sand from my experience. I've actually applied and been approved for several cards where I didn't meet the minimum income requirements.
They look at more than your income when determining if they will approve you and as long as your credit rating is good and you have a decent income, there shouldn't be a problem. Be sure to include any and all income from all sources when you fill out the income field. You usually are encouraged to specify your entire household income, not just your personal income as well.
Who Is RateSupermarket?
RateSupermarket is a Canadian company that advises Canadians on how to get the best rates on their financial products by quickly comparing all the available products on the market side by side.
I've had lots of dealings with them personally and met several people from their team at the Canadian Personal Finance Bloggers Conference last year. They're doing a great job educating consumers on their choices and helping them make better financial decisions.
Is The $100 Gift Card Legitimate?
Yes, it is. I've taken advantage of similar RateSupermarket offers in the past along with my wife and my father and we've all received our $100 gift cards just fine. I've also had many readers take advantage of these promos too and I only ever had one complaint which we were able to resolve.
For that one issue, I think there was a problem with the application process not being done 100% correctly so that the gift card didn't register. After contacting RateSupermarket about the problem, we were able to get the gift card delivered in the end plus and small extra bonus because of the trouble this person encountered in receiving it.
What Are Some Example Stores For The Gift Card?
There are over 50 to choose from, so I won't list them all, but some popular choices are as follows:
- Amazon.ca
- Loblaws
- Safeway
- Home Depot
- Home Hardware
- Staples
- Best Buy
- Starbucks
- Subway
- Toys R Us
- Sears
- Old Navy
- Gap
- Cineplex
- Boston Pizza
- The Keg
Let Me Know In The Comments If You Go For It
If I hadn't just signed up for the American Express Platinum card a little while ago , I would be all over this deal like white on rice (yes, I just used that old tired joke!). The only thing that has held me back in the past was the annual fee and the fact that I already have a 2% cash back credit card with no annual fee that is no longer available for new applications. I am grandfathered in.
With the annual fee being waived and the $100 gift card being offered though, I'd still apply in a heartbeat even with the 2% card in my wallet. Let me know, are you as excited about this deal as I am?

† The introductory annual fee waiver only applies to the initial annual fee for the primary and additional cards. The Scotia Momentum® VISA Infinite* card's regular interest rate is 19.99% for purchases. For cash advances, balance transfers and Scotia Credit Card Cheques the interest rate is 21.99%. The regular annual fee is $99 per year for the first card issued on the account; additional cards are charged an annual fee of $30 per year per card when issued, regardless of card activation and will be billed to your first statement and once a year thereafter. Offer applies to new accounts opened by June 30, 2014. Any additional cards must be issued by June 30, 2014, to qualify for the offer. Rates and fees are as of September 1, 2013 and are subject to change without noticeSo if you want the free $30 secondary card for the first year, make sure you request it immediately because it looks like if you apply for an additional card later, the $30 fee will apply at that time.
Cash back will not be posted on Scotia Momentum VISA Infinite accounts that are not in good standing when card purchases are made or when a monthly statement is issued. Cash back will not be awarded for a Scotia Momentum VISA Infinite account that is not in good standing, or is not open, when the November statement is issued. If a Scotia Momentum VISA Infinite account is closed at any time prior to the November statement, for any reason, all cash back earned to that time will be forfeited. Each year on the billing period closing date that occurs in November, we will review the status of your account. Your account will not be considered in good standing to qualify for cash back if (i) you have a minimum payment that remains unpaid for two (2) or more billing periods or (ii) your account is suspended, cancelled or closed. Cash back is based on the Canadian dollar amount of Net Purchases and will be calculated and credited in Canadian dollars. A fraction of a cent will be rounded up to the nearest cent.
Recurring payments are typically telecommunication, insurance, membership, subscriptions etc. purchases. Not all merchants offer recurring payments. (Please check with your merchant to see if they offer recurring payments on VISA cards.)I do have a partnership with RateSupermarket so using the links above will help support the site. I try only to write posts like this one when very good deals come along and this is the best one ever for this card so I thought it deserved an article seeing as I've been meaning to write about the Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite for years now. EDIT: Reading around in some forum threads it looks like the recurring payments can be hit an miss. The vendor has to use a special recurring payment code for it to qualify. Many of them do use the proper code, but some also unfortunately don't. There would be no way for me to tell if your specific vendor bills using the proper code without testing it out directly. Calling them could help, but finding someone who knows the answer to that might be difficult.
My problem is that I do a lot of grocery shopping at Costco, and even get my gas from Costco. Costco in Canada currently only accepts MasterCard. I so wish this was a MasterCard rather than a Visa.
Then you should check out my list of top cash back credit cards and choose the the highest rated MasterCard:
As a (displeased)Costco Capital One MC holder,I've been looking at an alternative card to earn cash back Thanks to Stehpen W's site,I now have the Momentum Infinite card. Also,I like the travel medical(15 day coverage),and car rental insurance benefit. My feedback's about trying to maximize a cash rebate from my M.C.and Visa ,I will stick to the M.C.'s highest return:gas(Costco), and restaurants. Everthing else,including non Costco gas at 4% return will be via the Infinite.This includes buying Costco cash cards to buy stuff that doesn't need an extended warranty,or purchase protection since it's only a 1% cash back anyways for items outside the higher return category for both cards.I can use the Momentum to purchase Canada Costco cash card to use in the U.S.where the (2.5%)echange fee's waived. Still getting my 1% ,without losing to that exchange fee,just cureency if I used the Momentum directly stateside at Costco. Big ticket items,I'll use the Momentum at Costco U.S.warehouses,where our weak dollar doesn't negatively impact where better pricing applies. Example,buying a SUHDTV while stateside,and still saving ~$400 post exchange, and related fees!
So glad you've found the Momentum Visa a good card for your needs. Sounds like you are going a long way to maximize it along with your other card. Good job figuring out how to save the exchange fee at Costco stores and take advantage of better pricing cross border that is still advantageous with the terrible Canadian Dollar.
From the Promo Page "The Scotia Momentum VISA Infinite Card is a premium credit card. This means it can impose higher card acceptance costs on merchants."
I don't mind if it's Walmart I'd be using it at (and you can bet they bargained the fee down) but if it's my own local small business I don't want to see leaving the neighbourhood because credit cards are taking half the profits, count me out. If you're getting 4% the merchant has to pay 8%. I am not in business, only a retired guy previously self-employed.
Every time I sign in to Scotia itrade I learn I am "preapproved" for this card but I will continue to use Petropoints Mastercard for $$ off gas and PC Mastercard for $$ off groceries, both no fee.
My understanding is that fees never go much higher than 3%. I believe there are several terminals you can get that get fees closer to 2% even for premium cards. I don't have all the facts here, but I'm 99.9% sure that fees will never get anywhere close to 8%.
Here is some sample pricing for you to look at:
is the 4% cashback on grocery purchases on the total amount of your grocery bill? In other words, if I purchase a $50 Tim Horton's card at my grocery store, will this amount also qualify for cashback? If so, then it is worth buying gift cards at your grocery store. Thanks.
Yes, that's a commonly used trick to get 4% cash back for purchases at lots of different stores Carol. Enjoy :)
Any suggestions for a better credit card with good returns for gas for someone who does not have the required high salary needed to apply for example for the Scotia card? Am retired with very limited funds so need to try and get the most value and perks I can. Thanks for your time and any suggestions you have
Sure D., I wrote an article about that very subject here:
If you ever need to fly across the country, then the American Express Gold Rewards will give you a great return on your spending and has a 2x bonus on gas, grocery, drugstore, and travel purchases.

Slavoj Žižek's thinking is a fusion of elements from German idealism, Marx and Lacan. Using Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theory in order to reactualize the dialectical method of German idealism, Žižek has reinvigorated a dialectical materialist critique of the ideology of global liberal capitalism. One of Žižek's most theoretically speculative books is The Indivisible Remainder: On Schelling and Related Matters (1996, 2007). In Indivisible, Žižek clarifies his version of dialectical materialism by investigating F. W. J. von Schelling's struggle in Die Weltalter [The Ages of the World] to mediate the contradiction in metaphysics between idealism and materialism. Kant left to his German …

Orbit: Mötley Crüe: Livin' the Fast LifeThe band known as much for their talent onstage as their antics offstage, Mötley Crüe epitomized the drug-fueled, sex-riddled excess of 1980's metal acts. In the process, they forged a rock dynasty few other bands have been able to achieve. Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, and Vince Neil became household names, the scourge of the Christian right, and the darlings of the Billboard charts. Read

Skip to comments.U.S.: DISMAY AT ARREST OF ETHNIC SERBS
Posted on 12/18/2006 10:58:24 AM PST by kronos77
click here to read article
Yes , I saw . The guy's hilarious .
And have you seen his self introduction ?
It's a scream . He was in the US ARMY AND THE US AIR FORCE . And now he spends his time defending SS war criminals who worked with BIN LADEN and the IRANIAN VEVAK .
Spot the irony .
Even after 9 11 he can't find a single wrong thing to say about members of the Muslim Brotherhood .
And we're talking POST 9 11 .
This is going to be a Christmas to remember .
Red Adare , do us proud and PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE keep on posting .
You wrote
"I tried to get Red6 to answer a few questions in the context of his thesis that Serbia and Nazi Germany are (were) equivalent."
It's not surprising .
The guy's a HOLOCAUST DENIER and what they always do is try to cheapen the suffering of the JEWISH people in WW2 . A sure fire way to achieve this is make ridiculous comparisons .
It's your classic HOLOCAUST DENIAL line of argument .
Red6 compares one side's behaviour in a FOUR WAY CIVIL WAR that killed at most 100,000 on ALL sides with the NAZI's extermination of 6,000,000 JEWS , not to mention ROMA and SLAVS , etc .
For all of us , it's ridiculous and grotesque in the extreme, but to the amoral , there's no difference . They REALLY can't see how nonsensical , not to say obscene , this kind of comparison is .
They REALLY think it's powerful advocacy .
The clincher to all of this is he's a big time IZETBEGOVICH fan who was himself a HOLOCAUST DENIER . Birds of a feather....
Moral equivalency from the amoral.
Nothing new . Same old shit .
["Because the Serbs didn't start pushing them across the border into Macedonia and Albania until NATO started bombing."]
Hey Santa Claus, is it common for you to make up stories during Christmas time?
infidel slaps your ass up and down this thread and that's the best response you have? That's pathetic.
Yes, there is reason why the "View" or "Springer" have such high ratings. There are many irrational and emotional screamers out there, like you.
I can't compensate for a poor upbringing and low end education in my posts. It's not realistic for me get you to understand how to construct a basic argument. If you have any desire to come out of that mental slum in which you live you can start by learning what a fallacy is.
There are many books devoted to basic reasoning skills, something you and your screamer friends are having a hard time with.
Merry Christmas my heathen and savage friend.
You know exactly what I was talking about ;-)
Red6 you wrote
"I can't compensate for a poor upbringing and low end education in my posts."
Holocaust denier admits to very low IQ . Blames it on ejucashun and famerlee .
Pray , tell us more , Red6 , oh man of low intelligence , crappy education and deprived childhood .
Hi there Red6 , man of low intelligence and poor upbringing , you wrote
"Somethings are not worth a response.
However, AQ dropping the WTC does not give me the legal right nor moral justification to do wrong onto others who had NOTHING to do with the attacks."
So you felt it WAS worthy of a response . Because you did respond .
NOW you're claiming that EIJ had nothing to do with 9 11 . I hate to break it to you but the EIJ ain't exactly Ohio Presbyterians . Just ask Sadat of Egypt . Oh , I forgot . They killed him .
Brilliant , oh man of meagre means , sub standard intellect and crappy childhood .
Zacarias Moussaoui was French
The plan for 911 was developed in Hamburg, where a lot of your logistics was based out of as well.
By your rationale we should invade France and bomb Germany.
You make no sense, and the fact that you dont even care about making sense shows that you have no intent to be intellectually honest in this debate.
Many of your arguments are based on attempting to associate 911 with the Muslims in Bosnia, something which became very popular after 911. Its a poor argument since the connections are weak at best (Another fallacy). I could literally construct a better argument for attacking Italy, Germany, or France, which are our allies in the GWOT. And yes, such an argument would be stupid. As said several times already, the foundation of your arguments are logically flawed, you argue with cliché, you attack personally, but you have little to no substance to back your opinions.
You have a Feindbild (A good German word since there really is no English equivalent in meaning that entails the some spirit of this word), but you have no real arguments to back it. The Germans likewise were taught to hate the Jews years past, but they too had no real basis for their feeling towards these people who in WWI fought bravely along side of other Germans and died as well for their country. The Jewish community was an educated, hard working community rich in culture and scientific thinking. But if you look at the Nazi propaganda you will see a distortion of reality just like you attempt to distort. But again, of course, there are NO parallels to Nazi Germany and what happened in the Balkans, right?
Regimes like in Serbia or that of the Nazis typically have a sort of near collective sociopathic tendency. From Mao to Stalin or yes Milosevic and Hitler, these regimes tend to be sociopathic towards those they see as their enemies or lesser. The Serbs killing thousands like the Nazi killing thousands like the Maoist, or Stalinist; all have their reasons, all are perverted. You my friend are left with nothing else but to deny it happened, or somehow justify these sorts of actions, since you share debasing view of a people you dont like. I guess you learned a lot in WWII during your occupation.
"....the Nazi killing thousands like the Maoist, or Stalinist"
Stalin killed THOUSANDS ? As with Mao ? Likewise , Hitler ?
But you're no HOLOCAUST REVISIONIST , why no siree .
Sorry , that should have be spelt "man of limitid inturlekchual meens " not "MAN OF LIMITED INTELLECTUAL MEANS".
Oh Christ , Red , you're back to quoting WIKI-F*&^%^$G-PEDIA .
Your condition's terminal isn't it .
Ask the Albanians or their Dhimmi supports why the Serbs are leaving while their Churches burn.
If you were a Christian, maybe you'd give a damn?
Sociopathic behavior includes your dehumanization of all Serbs, Dhimmi.
"Terminal" means it would lead to death. I think you mean "chronic" as in permanent or lasting.
So, in the last two posts, whats your point? What do you have that is of substance to add to this discussion? Besides name calling, screaming, what do you have as an argument? Thank you, you my argument easy.
You see, people live in worlds that are constructs of their perception. Often this is called a paradigm and it is based on some ideology. The simple minded only now that they have an opinion, but they dont know why, nor how they got there. When such a simpleton is challenged in their views, lacking the ability to really debate the issue, they resort to name calling or fallacious arguments. One has to understand that the simpleton feels compelled to attack since accepting this new concept injected would crash his whole simple world view Wahrnehmung.
Example: If in the 1960s I would have debated a member of the Klu Klux Klan and told him that a black person does not have a lower IQ, but just on average less educational opportunities, he would attack me. Many of the arguments would have followed along the exact same lines of those you presented, since its essentially the same ethnocentric hate mongering we are hearing from you. The Klansman has to attack me in this case since accepting what I say would force him to change his whole world view Wahrnehmung.
Before 911, the excuse used by many Serbs as justification for the genocide against the Muslims was past atrocities by Muslims on them hundreds of years ago. These arguments, just like attempting to somehow force a connection to 911 today, are false pretenses to commit evil onto another people. No matter how you slice it, that unarmed Muslim woman that is raped, or some pregnant Muslim woman that is shot dead, did not pose a threat to your heroic Serbian militias as they swept the lands in Bosnia.
Most of Europe has moved on. The Germans today feel guilt because of the wrongs they committed. Most of Europe today is a safer place than ever before because of the culture. What happened in the Balkans is what we expect to see in Africa, not Europe. Even the colonial rulers of past applied a rule of law to their subjects. People like you are no different than the RPF in the Rwanda killings. You might as well take off your cloths, grab a machete, and go to town on some Muslim in Bosnia. In end affect youre the same sort of savage as those killing people there.
You may want to see yourself as a Christian, a nation, cultured, and educated, but actions speak louder than words. Your behavior in the 90s was that of an uncultured mob, void of the rule of law, and with a sociopath tendency which is common in most regimes or mobs like that. If outsiders had not brought justice into this region, those responsible would still be free today. That alone speaks volumes for the people calling themselves Serbs.
I am doing neither, I am only rejecting the dehumanization of the Serbian people by appeasement-minded Dhimmis.
Red "poor upbringing and low end education"6 , you wrote
"What do you have that is of substance to add to this discussion?"
Small point, oh wise one. You're claiming that Hitler , Stalin and Mao only murdered 1,000's.
You said it .
Correction . You didn't even say "murdered" , but "killed".
So, according to you , only "1,000s" of Jews were "killed" by Hitler in the Holocaust .
You just don't get it .
How was Iran BTW .
You also wrote
"Besides name calling, screaming, what do you have as an argument?"
Two points
a) See above
b) you called yourself an idiot , remember? You said you couldn't compensate for a poor upbringing and low end education . Remember ? Or are you an amnesiac too ?
And then you added
"Thank you, you my argument easy."
make doesn't sense any that.
Your posts are hilarious , Red"dysfunctional and slow witted"6 .
half-truth is what you wrote..the media did the majority of the "making your people look bad". US News and World Report did an article on my units mission. They picked apart "quotes" and gave a misinformed story. Go figure as if you believe all those stories from the 90s to current, you are as naive as a five year old kid, bucko.
At the time I lived in Germany, if you read the posts you'd know that. I as the rest of Western Europe saw very well who the refugees where, what some of them looked like, how some of them showed visible signs of abuse, and you can play make belief all you want today, there were many EU representatives, UN troops before NATO came in, various NATO forces from several nations who reported the same. There is a reason why the international court has found 48 senior political and military leaders (Most Serb) guilty of war crimes after an intense and in depth investigation of these alleged acts.
But we all know, the UN Protection Force was making these things up. The International Court in The Hague is a kangaroo court that has it out for the Serbs. Troops from various NATO countries are conspiring in this grand cover up where the Serbs really didnt commit these atrocities and were actually just the victims of Muslim Jihadists. Of course the media is just spinning it and the national governments in Europe that were receiving the refugees of this war are also making that up I got it.
Now, back to reality. Not every Serb is bad. Not every Muslim was a victim and they too did bad things to Serbs. However, as a state it was Serbia that had the motive, will, and capabilities to wage war. It was their political and military leadership that like in Nazi Germany systemically engaged in illegal activities. It was the Serbs who did NOT want to stop this conflict and had to be forced to secede military operations through NATO armed intervention. Had some resemblance of justice not been brought into the Balkans, the Serbs would not have done anything to those who deliberately committed war crimes. Crimes for which people 60 years earlier were hung. The same sort of crimes which the Serbs accuse the Germans of in WWII are those the Serbs today attempt to rationalize since they were the ones committing them on others.
The rest, is all rhetorical nonsense. Its polemics that lacks a rational and feasible basis when analyzed in depth. Concocting 911 conspiracies and connections, speculating about oil motivations for NATO intervention, attempting to claim that Serbia was the victim, denying the atrocities committed, all this does not make you look any better.
You wrote to Red"Hitler , Mao and Stalin only killed 1,000's"6
"you are as naive as a five year old kid, bucko."
That's a terrible slur. Really it is. You should be ashamed of yourself for making such a comparison. You've gone way too far this time with your insults , really you have .
Now . I want you to apologise to all the naive 5 year olds of the world .
From Red"Wikipedia"6
"the Nazi killing thousands like the Maoist, or Stalinist"
I can see the headline now .
Serbophobe claims Nazis only killed 1,000s . Mao and Stalin were cruelly maligned too .
With enemies like you , who needs friends.
"the Nazi killing thousands like the Maoist, or Stalinist"
You were a joke before writing that.....but after writing it ?
So let's do a summary.
a) Hitler only killed thousands , which makes you a Holocaust denier ( amongst other things ) .
b) Mao only killed in the 1,000's too . So the Cultural Revolution or Great Leap Forward didn't in fact consume an entire generation . This was simply an evil lie put out by his enemies no doubt .
c) Stalin only killed 1,000s too . Ah ! You know , it's all beginning to make so much sense now . All those Gulags were , in fact , wonderful places . The Great Purges of the army in the 30's never occurred , nor the famine in the Ukraine , etc . More nasty , vile propaganda put out by Stalin's enemies .
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONY . You should have a badge made . How about a tatoo on the forehead .
1- what the media allowed you to TV-witness
2- what you wanted to believe do to your gullibility of a 5 year old bucko.
The brutality scenes you "witnessed" were only hearsay as very minimal proof was ever found to be true. **hiccup** 100,000 dead Albanians. eghad,ergo!
What you saw on tv was orchestrated and the natural outcome of how "refugees" should look like, disheveled.
I'm going to let you fritter away on this so I will have plenty more to come back at you.
you are putting words in my mouth as i never denied any allegations, nor attempted to give distorted 'truths'.
Your feebality is evident. I won't say more as I do not wish to spoil your Christmas festive mood.
Hristos Se Rodi.
- So the EU reports from delegations that went there are false?
- So the UN Protection Force lied in what they saw and reported on first hand? Sure, the Danes were also part of your collusion. It was Danish troops that as part of the UN Protection Force, under UN mandate in the Balkans were ambushed by Serb forces. They reported on atrocities first hand as they watched since they did not have the authorization to shoot unless protecting themselves. Tell us, were the Serbs acting outside of international law when they took 400 UN troops hostage, and paraded them on their TV? Was that an act of a lone single Serb, or was it a state sponsored and planned event directed by a general? Maybe that is made up? How about out right attacks against UN observation posts; French manned BTW? Are the French also colluding against you?
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/1999/03/20/ribic990319.html The whole original topic was how some Serbs were arrested in the US for an alleged involvement in crimes. Well, heres a story from a few years about those UN troops you used as human shields and a Serb Canada wants extradited for his involvement in this act which probably never happened according to you. This is obviously a story that is made up by the Canadian media which is also colluding.
Here you go: http://www.unprofor.dk/sider/forside.asp You can tell the Danish VETs that they are making it up. The Serbs really werent the ones that shot at them while they were there under a UN mandate. Maybe you can tell them they really didnt see what they say they saw and that they should stop lying.
- So the NATO troops when they came in later were making it all up as well? Of course the Belgians, Germans, French, British .all are in on the conspiracy against you. http://www.nato.int/docu/facts/2000/role-bih.htm
- So the International Tribunal is just on a witch hunt, and in actuality didn't investigate in depth nor was fair? All their findings were erroneous?
http://www.un.org/icty/indictment/english/kar-ii950724e.htm Whats your excuse going to be? Mladic didnt know? He didnt intend to do what he did? There is no excuse. He acted in violation of international law. Hes a criminal, no different than a Nazi war criminal, who did the same sort of things, for the same perverted reasons, with the same evil outcomes. **And you defend such actions**
- So the nations that received the refugees of the war are making that up as well? Being shot or raped as a refugee is OK, its a normal disheveled appearance?
- During much of the clean up, university, FBI and other Subject Matter Experts on forensics and archeology were brought in from places like the University of Birmingham. We all know this University also has a hidden agenda against the Serbs, right? Are all these first hand accounts by outside experts also part of this grand collusion?
- And of course the media was conspiring as well, despite the fact that Reuters has local Serb reporters on their payroll, the Serbs operated their local TV channels and blasted the World Wide Web with a propaganda message that was state financed. They even operated a fake look a like NATO website which was all spun propaganda. The Russians and others in their state run media were acting as unofficial press agents for the Serbs. The international media is conspiring right?
What happened in the Balkans, as with the Holocaust was so flagrantly in violation of international law, some had their hands in the pot so deep, they could not feasibly claim they didnt know, or they didnt intend etc. Like the piles of glasses and shoes of those going to the gas chambers, when you pull the bones out of the ground; these people were blind folded and shot, buried in mass graves; after you have the body positively identified who it was, it becomes difficult to deny what happened.
What you hope to do is rewrite history and deny the events surrounding war crimes. You can do that all you wish, in the meantime 48 are convicted and many more are fugitives.
From Red"Wikipedia"6
"What you hope to do is rewrite history and deny the events surrounding "war crimes" . "
Oh , the irony. So thick , you put a tail on it and call it a raccoon .
This comes from someone who claimed that Mao's , Stalin's and Hitler's victims only numbered in the 1,000's. That's right , the thousands .
Wonderfully funny, Red6
And to make the irony that little bit richer, the KLA ( with NATO's approval ) have started renaming schools and streets after NAZI collaborators . And, of course, the Bosnian Islamist leader , Izetbegovich , was one of the senior recruiters for the HANDZAR division .
Your heroes .
Keep up the HOLOCAUST revisionism , Red6 , I'm sure "The Boys from Brazil" will be thrilled .
And being a NAZI apologist is just so retro chic nowadays .
When someone writes things like "The Serbs killing thousands like the Nazi killing thousands like the Maoist, or Stalinist" hates you , you just know you're doing something right .
Equating the crimes by the NAZIs , MAO and STALIN with "killing" "1,000s" .
Tut tut tut , what will your forebears who gave their lives on the beaches of Normandy and over the skies of Korea think ?
You are a rascal , Red6 .
a) the expulsion of the entire Jewish community in Kosovo by the KLA with NATO onlookers
b) the VRS ( that's the Bosnian Serb Army as Wikipedia probably won't cover it for you ) getting most support ( both materiel and intelligence ) from the IDF
Welcome to the bizarro world of Hitler apologist extraordinaire , Red6 .
Red6 thinks Hitler only "killed" ( not "murdered" but the neutral term "killed" ) 1,000s which puts him firmly in the "NAZIs-are-misunderstood-camp" . He goes one better than the David Irvings of the world as he's also shilling for Stalin too . Yes . STALIN . No , he goes two better . He's also an apologist for Mao . Yes , MAO .
Anyway , check this little thing of beauty out .
" From Mao to Stalin or yes Milosevic and Hitler, these regimes tend to be sociopathic towards those they see as their enemies or lesser."
The first thing to note is the moral equivalence . The Bosnian war took 100,000 lives .
In total . Civilian . Military . Serb . Croat . Muslim . 100,000.
Note , as all Hitler apologists do , he's now equating Hitlers crimes with "100,000" "killed" . So no longer did Hitler murder 6,000,000 Jews . How could he ? According to Red"shilling for Hitler"6 , Hitler only killed at most 100,000 . All those Holocaust survivors must be lying .
Someone apologise to Hitler .
Same with Stalin and the labor camps in Siberia .
Nothing but an elaborate hoax to tarnish comrade Stalin's glorious name .
Likewise , Mao and the slaughter of millions upon millions of Chinese .
Poor Mao , he was so misunderstood , for he only "killed 100,000" .
I have the sneaking feeling that Mao wannabe , Stalin apologist and all round Hitler lover , Red6 , is unaware about the start of the Bosnian civil war .
a)The Cutileiro plan in March 1992 was signed by Mate Boban ( the Bosnian Croat leader ) and the Bosnian Serb leadership of Karadzic, but Izetbegovic withdrew his signature a week after signing . This plan would have headed off civil war in Bosnia . Both the Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Croats signed the last chance to preserve peace and to avoid any conflict in Bosnia . The Islamists didn't . Izetbegovic in fact said he'd prefer war to peace if the peace meant Bosnia couldn't cede .
A full year before civil war broke out , and the muslims had already set up the so called Patriotic League. It contained 120,000 armed men according to Sefer Halilovic the commander of the Main Staff of the Muslim Army
b)Before the Civil war broke out , on the 26th of March, 1992, a large massacre of Serbs in the area of Bosanski Brod in the village of Sijekovac when entire families were massacred.
c)4th of April that exactly when Serb refugees from Barice and Kostres were killed by armed Muslims, inhabitants of the village of Korace, when 117 Serbs were killed, including old men, women, and children.
d)The acts formally declaring war were passed at the beginning of April by the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the absence of Serb members and in the absence of one of the Muslim leaders, Fikret Abdic ( the secular Muslim leader who supported the Serbs ) , when a decision was taken on mobilisation. And then on the 8th of April, the immediate threat of war was declared and the Republican Staff of Territorial Defence was abolished and the TO of Bosnia-Herzegovina founded.
But the Bosnian Serbs wanted , desired and strove for war at all costs , according to Red"Hitler deserves an apology"6 .
The guys a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONY
Why don't we bring up Gorazde 1993-4? Care to tango in that region of operations, bucko? Let's discuss Caco and the "Sarajevo Seige" that was self-emplaced by the muslim police and army. On direct orders from Alija, all those who leave SA must pay a bounty or, yes egad, be shot.
Your 'self-rightousness' attempt begets no 72 virgins you expect to recieve from your muslim friends you carelessly defend.
Now , he's getting all the locations mixed up .
I think he's taken a leaf out of Paddy "I'm not sure If I'm in Serbia or Albania" Ashdown's book .
"That's because your analogy (Serbia=Nazi-Germany) is ill-conceived"
Surely the understatement of this century .
The freedom of movement of civilians in Sarajevo was agreed in December, 1992 . The idea was for civilians to move to freedom using corridors guarded by UNPROFOR . The Bosnian Croats and Serbs had demanded this agreement . Izebegovic was extremely reluctant to agree .
After the signing , a couple of dozen buses of Serbs and Croats were evacuated , even the odd Slovene but not a single Muslim was evacuated .
Or as the prosecution witness testified , under oath
"However, the Presidency ( of Izetbegovic ) would not allow a single Muslim to leave Sarajevo."
The reasons were simple ( quote from same prosecution witness against Milosevic )
" Able-bodied men from 18 to 65 and women from 18 to 60 were not allowed to leave because they were essential for the defence of the town, but their main reason was a different one. The Serb siege in the propaganda war evoked compassion on the part of the world, and that is why they needed the elderly and the children to remain. That was their most emotional propaganda weapon to draw the Americans into the war, and they didn't want that to weaken."
This propaganda tactic also explains why
a) the Muslim Govt refused to allow Srebrenica civilians to leave , or to allow bartering between the Serb villagers adjacent to Srebrenica and the Muslims in the town to take place ( the Serbs had wanted to be able to barter with the Muslims )
b) the Muslims vastly inflated their casualty rates for the entire war . It was not untypical for the Muslim apologists to claim that a quarter of a million Muslims had been killed in the war . The total killed in the four way civil war was 100,000
Finally the prosecution witness concluded
"The position of the Presidency was highly delicate. They had been defeated on the battlefield, and it is quite certain that in the strategic sense so far as the war was concerned, at least, it is considered normal for the Presidency ( of Izetbegovic ) to reject a major step towards peace."
Let's not beat about the bush.
It was the Islamists in Sarajevo who , time after time , were the obstacles to peace in Bosnia
"That's because your analogy (Serbia=Nazi-Germany) is ill-conceived."
Now , now , LR , at least quote the great historian of the 20th Century correctly .
Red6 actually said
"The Serbs killing thousands like the Nazi killing thousands like the Maoist, or Stalinist"
He's not equating one side in a war that claimed at most 100,000 lives with the Nazi's , thereby claiming that the Nazis killed way under 100,000 in total , he's claiming that theNazis , Mao and Stalin were responsible for the deaths of way under 100,000 too.
I think you should apologise to Red6 . He's not a Hitler apologist . He's that rare breed , a Hitlercum Stalincum Mao apologist .
You should apologise in writing and it'd better sincere .
He defends the monsters of the 20th Century ( 'they didn't murder in the millions , the only killed thousands ' ) and his heroes in the Balkans in the 90s follow the same honourable road .
a) Izetbegovic . Muslim Brotherhood , lifelong supporter of Khomeini , Holocaust Denier , SS recruiter , friend of ringleaders to both WTC terror attempts . The list is proud , long and glorious .
b) The KLA . Largely made up of Stalinists/Maoists supporters of that deranged midget , Enver Hoxa . Also large numbers of Mujahideen and Neo Nazi supporters of the Skanderbeg SS division ( based in Kosovo in WW2 ) . You've gotta love 'em .
About Bosnia seceding from Yugoslavia . So determined was Izetbegovic to choose war instead of peace that he
a) said "No" to a proposal by Milosevic to become President of a Rump-Yugoslavia . He didn't want to be President but wanted Independence even though that would mean war .
b) as pointed out , scuppered the last chance for peace by taking his signiature away from the Cutileiro Plan . Both the Bosnian Croats and Serb had already inked the deal. Izetbegovic said "No" . The last chance for peace in Bosnia .
c) he was on record as saying "I would sacrifice peace for a sovereign Bosnia-Herzegovina ... but for that peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina I would not sacrifice sovereignty." i.e. War , if he doesn't get his way.
d) he stole the Presidency from the Bosnian Serbs ( he should have stepped down after two years )and then unconstitutionally declared independence . Trust the Muslim Brotherhood to ignore the legality of an action .
e)armed over 100,000 of his SDS supporters into a militia who then murdered hundreds of Serbs even before civil had broken out .
As I said , the guy's priceless . Happy New Year , LR .
"e)armed over 100,000 of his SDA supporters into a militia"
Obviously .
["Happy New Year , LR ."]
Happy New Year to you as well. I thought I'd until about the right time. Only a few hours left of 2006 :-).
It does not surprise me that Clinton would side with Muslims. He had several chances to have OBL handed over to him. Acting on that, we may have had 3000 lives still with us. Clinton was such a failure in so many ways. Gee, weren't we supposed to be out of Kosovo by Christmas that year? Funny, media never mentions it.
I leave you to with your Serbian support group here on the Free Republic. You guys can stroke each other off quiet well but at this point are wasting my time.
I still don't understand what people like you have in common with Conservatism or America all together for that matter, since you don't subscribe to some of our most basic principals. Maybe you're just like all the other "new" immigrants and seek the jobs, but not really the idea behind it.
Whether alcohol or any other vice, the true looser is the one stuck in a rut and unable to fix himself. You guys caused a war, didn't want to stop, then lost a war, and today can't stop obsessing over it.
It seems his definition of Conservatism is to make unbelievably bizarre comparisons and when everyone stands and laughs , to throw a hissy fit and storm off to Mumsy .
Red6 had left the building , Red6 has left the building
It was fun while it lasted .

RainStor Makes SQL retrieval of highly-compressed enterprise-wide data archives easy and fully accessible
Teradata RainStor is a pioneer in enterprise data archiving on Apache™ Hadoop®. It is a SQL retrievable, highly compressed enterprise-wide data archive. It retains massive amounts of data from various sources in the most efficient, scalable and accessible manner, including data from the Teradata Integrated Data Warehouse (IDW). With RainStor, organizations no longer need to keep extraneous data in their relational database, store it on tapes, move it to an ungoverned Hadoop data lake, or just delete the data because of lack of storage.
An Enterprise-Wide Archive Solution on Hadoop
While RainStor can be implemented on several platforms, many customers may want their enterprise archive to be implemented on Hadoop. When deployed on Hadoop, RainStor sits natively on the Hadoop cluster and runs as an application that provides a number of benefits to the Hadoop environment, including: security, data governance, improved loading and query performance, ANSI SQL support and access to the data from open source projects such as Apache Hive™, Apache Pig and Apache HCatalog. RainStor can run on the Teradata Appliance for Hadoop or commodity Hadoop.
Online Data Archiving with SQL Accessibility, Data Immutability and Compliance
There are a number of business problems that RainStor addresses through customer's new requirements for data archiving. For starters, archived data is online and able to be queried indefinitely, as if it were still in the database. In addition, RainStor provides fast SQL access to the data and the archive technology compresses the data allowing significant savings on storage expense. In order to satisfy audits, RainStor's archived data is immutable, it cannot be changed. And, since regulations drive much of the data storage requirements, the RainStor archive allows organizations to fully comply with governmental and industry rules.
Deep Integration with the Teradata Integrated Data Warehouse
Teradata® QueryGrid™ for RainStor seamlessly integrates your Teradata IDW and RainStor archived data. Teradata IDW users can reference tables in RainStor through QueryGrid. Users no longer have to engage in multi-step processes when they want to analyze both current and historic data. This new capability provides one-directional data connectivity, exposing RainStor tables into Teradata. Advanced integration sharply reduces the amount of data to be processed on the Teradata side and enhances data access controls.
Teradata RainStor® FastConnect™ is a fast bi-directional data transfer connector between the Teradata IDW and Teradata RainStor. FastConnect is designed to operate at network speed thereby drastically reducing data load times. This connector is typically used by customers to create an online data archive by offloading history from the Teradata IDW thereby giving business users continuous access to that historical data set.
Customers with robust Teradata solutions may have many years of Teradata archives in various database versions. Teradata RainStor® FastForward™ technology can easily convert Teradata BAR tape data into RainStor online data.

Young woman dealing with knee pain
Q: I am 26 years old and since I was around the age of 18 I have had knee pain. Over the years my knees started making grinding noise and now if I keep my knee bent and then straighten it causes me to have intense pain could it be Chondromalacia of the patella? I do not have health insurance so I am not able to go to the doctor. I have tried pain reliever and it doesn't help my knee pain at all and I have iced it and soaked in hot water with no results. Is there anything else I can do to help the pain?
Knee pain is the most common presentation of patellofemoral syndrome in young and active people. The pain typically is located behind the kneecap and often shows during activities that require knee flexion and forceful contraction of the quadriceps (ei, during squats, ascending/descending stairs or pendants). Pain may be worsen by sitting with the knee flexed for a long period of time, such as while watching a movie, hence leading to the terms "theatre sign" and "movie-goer's knee." The causes are diverse: Overuse (repetitive use or activity), overloading, and misuse of the patellofemoral joint. The suggested strategy for conservative treatment should be as follows: try exercises to strenghten Quads previous adequate stretching (weights or byke) ,pain control with ice packs after exercises, anti-inflammatory meds (i.e.: "Aleve", "Advil"), identify and avoid those activities that can aggravate the pain. Also, and very important, is the need for extended adherence to the exercise regimen, meaning keep a consistent daily routine of walking, or bicycle or gym (weights and stretching). Allow time for these conservative measures (i.e.: exercise program) to have an effect, usually 4-6 weeks is adequate for some resolution of symptoms.
