Dr. Gott: Post-concussion syndrome must heal on its own
Dear Dr. Gott: My 57-year-old husband was assaulted in May and suffered a concussion. The back of his head hit the pavement hard, and he was punched a number of times in the forehead. He is still experiencing dizziness (like the room is spinning) and blurry vision. The doctor told him that he has post-concussion syndrome and says it may go away in a few months or it may take a year or more. He said there is a small chance that it will never go away.
Dear Abby: Wife's male friend too close for comfort

Liaison Monthly Certification of Transaction Logs
The liaison monthly certification process was developed in an effort to strengthen internal controls for ProCard transactions. This new process provides two additional control levels: a ProCard liaison and ProCard Office reviews. This process is mandatory for all units that have ProCards.
Each unit liaison will:
- confirm that transaction summary logs (TSLs) are present and signed by the respective parties for all cards assigned to his/her unit;
- spot check that business reasons are clear;
- submit the certification form to the ProCard Office within 45 days from the end of the statement date (see due dates): (1) certifying all TSLs were received and complete OR (2) providing a list of the cards that should be suspended due to missing or incomplete TSLs;
- report any misuse or fraud to the Assistant Director for Card Services at 852-8255 or through the Compliance Hotline; and
- serve as a central unit contact for issues identified by the ProCard Office.
The ProCard Office will:
- track the monthly certification form from each VP/Dean unit to ensure all units have reported compliance or missing/incomplete TSLs by the specified deadline;
- suspend ProCard accounts for which TSLs are missing/incomplete (accounts will be reinstated upon notification from the ProCard liaison that a complete TSL has been received);
- cancel card privileges for repeated non-compliance;
- report ProCard suspensions and/or cancellations due to inappropriate use or failure to comply with policies and procedures to University Administration, who will provide the information to the Board of Trustees Audit Committee; and
- contact Audit Services and University Police in all cases of suspected fraud.

Boat-tastic 08-09-2016
This was a great bathing suit cover up for boating. The material is see through and the length is short not making it appropriate for daily wear.
Great Casual Summer Dress 06-22-2016
This dress is really cute and it works better as a casual dress than a swimsuit coverup. The back drops a bit lower than expected so you can't wear a bra without it showeing but it's very cute for summer and pairs well with sandals or wedges.

The Four Grieving Queens
These are the Ladies who attended Arthur after his final battle, when he lay mortally wounded, and they are the ones who carried him off to Avalon. Two are mentioned below, Morgan Le Fay as chief amongst them, and Nimue, a Lady of the Lake. The other two are unnamed; they are the Queen of Norgales and the Queen of the Waste Lands. Each is encountered elsewhere in the cycle; Norgales is a Sorceress of great power, perhaps lesser than only Morgan and Nimue. The Queen of the Waste Lands seems to be a Christian anchorite and mystic of much wisdom; she gives good advice to Galahad, Lancelot, and Percival on various occasions. Her presence among a triplicity of distinctly Pagan Ladies at the conclusion of the cycle is significant, indeed, and tends to reinforce the idea that Arthur was being prepared by representatives of the Old Path and the New for duty as Champion of Britain.

Pinot Noir and Chardonnay IV: Three Sticks WinesPosted by Fredric Koeppel under California , Chardonnay , Pinot noir , Sonoma Coast , Sonoma County
No Comments
Three Sticks Wines was founded by Bill Price III — get it? his surfer handle was Billy Three Sticks — who also owns one of California's best-known vineyards, Durell Vineyard, which he purchased in 1998. He co-founded the private equity firm Texas Pacific Group in 1992 and sold his share back to the company in 2007, and that, friends, is a lesson in how you get into the vineyard and winery business. Price is chairman of Kosta Brown Winery and Gary Farrell Winery — you know those names — and has interest in Kistler, another name you know. He met winemaker and fellow-surfer Don Van Staaveren (image at right) in 1996 when TPG acquired Chateau St. Jean from Suntory, and in 2004 Price asked Van Staaveren to come aboard as winemaker at Three Sticks. (I'm condensing history quite a bit here.) The "winery" occupies space in an industrial/warehouse area in Sonoma, a practical measure since no one has to worry about tasting rooms, landscaping, high-end facilities, jazz concerts, picnic grounds, executive chefs and so on, though a great deal of organizational logistics is required. Van Staaveren, who created the sensational Cinq Cepage cabernet sauvignon for Chateau St. Jean, indeed resembles nothing more nor less than a gracefully aging, if slightly craggy, California boy; when I visited Three Sticks in the Summer of 2013, he wore a cast on one arm, the result of a surfing mishap. The wines he creates from the Durell Vineyard and other vineyards are thoughtfully made and embody tremendous personality and character. Unfortunately, they are produced in limited quantities and are available only on an allocation list. They are worth a visit to the winery's website threestickswines.com to sign up. These examples were samples for review.
This post is the fourth in a series devoted to wines made from two grapes that seem to occur together, chardonnay and pinot noir, on the model of Burgundy.
The Three Sticks One Sky Chardonnay 2012, Sonoma Mountain — the first Three Sticks release for this wine from a vineyard that remains anonymous — was treated in a manner traditional for California chardonnay: barrel fermentation; 14 months aging in French oak barrels, 50 percent new; full malolactic fermentation. The color is medium straw-gold; classic aromas of ripe pineapple and grapefruit feel infused by quince and ginger, spiced pear and toasted hazelnuts, amid a background of limestone minerality. This is a supremely rich chardonnay, slightly creamy but not buttery or tropical, and its lusciousness is tempered by bright acidity and that scintillating limestone element; citrus and stone-fruit flavors are highlighted by notes of orange marmalade and a hint of grapefruit pith. Altogether, this is a round, supple, mouth-filling chardonnay that displays lovely, if a bit florid, balance and tone. 14.8 percent alcohol. Production was 222 cases. Drink now through 2017 or '18. Excellent. About $50.
The winemaker took a completely opposite approach to the Three Sticks Durell Vineyard Origin Chardonnay 2012, Sonoma Valley. This wine was fermented in giant concrete egg-shaped vessels and aged 14 months in small steel barrels; not a smidgeon of oak touched it, and it did not go through malolactic. The grapes derived from two areas in the Durell Vineyard, "Old Wente 5," on a northwest-facing slope of light soil, and "V9," one of the rockiest and windiest parts of the vineyard. The color is medium straw-gold; the first impression is of something earthy, highly structured, almost tannic in effect, but with a core of remarkable resonance and vitality that animates captivating scents and flavors of quince jam and crystallized ginger, candied grapefruit and spiced pear with hints of lemon oil and lime peel, the whole package conveying the feeling of a lacy transparency of fruit over a dense, almost talc-like texture and a vibrant structure of limestone, damp gravel and chiming acidity. All in all, amazing energy, presence and tone, a wine that gives new meaning to "no-oak chardonnay." 14.6 percent alcohol. Production was 266 cases. Drink now through 2020 to '22. Exceptional. About $48.
The Three Sticks Durell Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011, Sonoma Coast, took grapes from three blocks of the estate vineyard, all of which greet the sunrise: The Extension, a steep slope that falls mainly east but a little to the south; the Terraces, an area of slightly terraced rows running north-south and with an eastern exposure; Block R, a cool, windy location of light soil with red volcanic deposits that falls on a slight slope to the east. The grapes fermented in open-top vessels, and the wine aged 14 months in French oak barrels, 50 percent new. The color is a translucent and luminous medium ruby hue; beguiling aromas of pomegranate, rhubarb and cranberry are permeated by notes of cloves and allspice, loam, briers and brambles and a hint of graphite; a few moments in the glass bring up hints of smoky red and black cherries, rose petals and sandalwood. This is a substantial pinot noir, blessed with a sense of total confidence and completion, though whatever character it possesses of power and dynamism is complemented by qualities of grace, delicacy and elegance. 13.5 percent alcohol. Production was 170 cases. Drink now through 2018 to 2020. Exceptional. About $65.

Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Ten
Rain and movies go together like ... well, you pick the metaphor. But you don't need bad weather to attend the Milwaukee Film Festival Saturday. Here are reasons to do so.
- "Sign Painters" (4:30 p.m., Oriental Theatre) Documentary directed by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon that Art City writer Mary Louise Schumacher calls "a dive into the toolboxes and tricks of the sign painters" who "change the urban landscape with their own hands and who defy the kind of washed-out sameness that has crept into American cities."
- "The Angels' Share" (4 p.m., Fox-Bay Cinema Grill) Cannes Festival Jury prize-winning comedy by the usually dour Ken Loach about a troubled youth who discovers he has a nose for quality whisky and hatches a scheme to steal a rare spirit. Watch the trailer below.
- "Spinning Plates" (4 p.m., Oriental) Documentary about a struggling Mexican restaurant, a family-style community landmark and the nouvelle cuisine of Chicago's Alinea whose chef was stricken with a cancer that threatened his senses of taste and smell. What starts out as a foodie film ends up a portrait of struggle, perseverance and triumph. Watch the trailer below.
- "An Evening With Paul Attanasio" (7:30 p.m., Oriental) Paul Attanasio, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Donnie Brasco" and "Quiz Show," executive producer of "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "House, and brother of Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, appears at a career retrospective conducted by Jonathan Jackson, the festival's artistic and executive director.

I'm just glad it's settled. If Lenic can get Aurcana onto the NYSE during 2013 it will certainly help, although for the short while with these silver prices in the dump along with the miners I'm not expecting much of a rise here.
Good...so, when will the deed be done?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
According to the e-mail I received the reverse split will occur during April. No exact date was given.

CHINA (CCTV) - Surveillance video in China's Shaanxi Province shows a teenager walking along the street talking on her cell phone then suddenly is swallowed up by the pavement she was walking on.
Lucky for her a cab driver who witnessed the incident rushed to the hole to find the girl lying at the bottom of a 18-foot deep well.
The site had long been eroded by underground water, forming a big hole in the middle of the sidewalk.
The cabbie jumped in the pit to help the girl but both had to be pulled to the surface by firefighters.
Family members of the girl used this video to help track down the hero to thank him for his good deed.

Think that Chuck knew Morris a little better than he lets on.
Guys like Morris can be tough to be around. Most of the time they're harmless but every once in a while,their poor little minds reach crush depth and they try to kill you with a plastic flamingo.
I don't give them money, they'll either use it badly or someone stronger will take it. I give them sox and sandwiches and a bottle of water.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Martian' Launches Into First Place
Good reviews and a phenomenal marketing campaign did their job this weekend. No number of foot-in-mouth moments from Matt Damon could harm the opening weekend of The Martian, which opened in the number one spot at the box office. After a surprisingly robust September, this is another sign that we may very looking at one of the bigger fall movie seasons in quite some time.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Hotel Transylvania 2' Shuts Down 'The Intern'
There hasn't been a proper family film in theaters since Minions opened in July, so it's not surprising at all that Hotel Transylvania 2 cleaned up at the box office this weekend. Still, we didn't imagine it cleaning up this well. This is the kind of opening weekend that guarantees us a Hotel Transylvania 3, for better or worse.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Black Mass' and 'Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials' Battle It Out
After a slow start, September 2015 is shaping up to be a pretty solid month for the box office. After last week's solid numbers, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials and Black Mass picked up the baton and ran with it, leading another strong weekend.
Weekend Box Office Report: Nobody Won This Boring Weekend
Summer is officially over, September is here, and the movies stink. While the big releases and heavy-hitters of the fall movie season make the festival rounds or rev up their marketing campaigns, audiences have to tough it out and wade through a lot of not-so-good movies. Welcome to September. It's like this every year. Get ready for an excruciating month at the movies and at the box office.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Straight Outta Compton' Takes the Lead for the Third Weekend in a Row
All summer movie seasons end with a whimper and 2015 was no different. The final weekend of August was a pretty sad display across the board, with Straight Outta Compton nabbing the number one spot by default while just about every new release faltered. You know it's a slow weekend when a movie promoted exclusively to faith-based audiences nabs the number two spot.
Bruce Willis Departs Woody Allen's Latest Film Under Mysterious Circumstances
Yesterday, photos of Bruce Willis filming director Woody Allen's latest (and currently untitled) movie surfaced online and the everything seemed fine. Just another late-era Allen production that inexplicably features a killer line-up of movie stars! Move along, nothing to see here! However, something seems to have gone horribly wrong between yesterday and today because Willis has abruptly dropped out of the film. That's the news. What follows is gossip, albeit interesting gossip.
Weekend Box Office Report: It's Mission Accomplished For 'Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation'
A few weeks ago, tracking for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was supposedly in the toilet. Early reports suggested that Tom Cruise's fifth outing as super-spy Ethan Hunt was not getting people excited. This would be the end, the experts said, of a franchise that has kept Cruise's career surging forward for the past two decades. Well, that was apparently a big load of crap because Rogue Nation opened well and opened in the same ballpark as the rest of the franchise. Even with inflation differences, this series keeps on hitting the same box office sweet spot.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Ant-Man' Goes a Little Small With Its Big Opening
It would be easy to label the opening weekend for Ant-Man a failure. After all, it's significantly lower than the openings for recent Marvel Studios movies and it's a good $130 million less than the three-day opening Avengers: Age of Ultron had a few months ago. But let's not be so hasty. Its opening numbers may not have blown anyone away, but Ant-Man's box office arrival is textbook Marvel.

This question pops up with predictable regularity, and has never been satisfactorily, or at least conclusively, answered.
The favourite of the moment is that of the 1885 Melford Riot, the reason the name was adopted by the Morris Men of Little Egypt. That story has been rehearsed many times:
I have never been fully convinced by this possible early version of what we would today call an Urban Myth. There are too many inconsistencies:
So, perhaps, we have to look elsewhere.
Glemsford has never had a whole History Book devoted to itself. A previous rector of the village, the Rev. Kenneth Glass did
publish a Short History of Glemsford in 1962, and it is reproduced in full in Andrew Clarkes magnificent Foxearth website:
The first is contained in a somewhat fanciful examination of the possible origins of settlement in the village:
However, I suspect Glass may get nearer to the point with another observation:
An alternative to this story builds the River Stour into this version, comparing it to the Red Sea, and thus giving the noble folk of Essex in general, and Foxearth and Pentlow in particular, the chance to look across at the poor benighted folk of Little Egypt.
Such Romanticism: and I think this latter embellishment takes us further away from the truth.
I have felt for a long time that there is a connection between the use of the word Egyptian and its ancient connection with gypsy, and I have been spurred into action here by a fascinating email I received from Rory Coxhill, who has given me permission to use his ideas and words here.
He wrote:
We dont have to look far, even on this website, to find supporting evidence for Rorys theory. Ted Hartley, in his 1978 reminiscence about life in the village in the 1920s said:
and Andrew Clarkes Foxearth work contains a number of other references to gypsies, several of them in the older affectionate tone that prevailed before the modern pejorative travellers, tinkers, pikies etc became the currency of contempt.
Rorys theory takes on further weight:
and he concluded his first email to me:
This is the point I made earlier. A very simple bit of Googling throws up all sorts of fascinating ideas to support this. For the moment I will just quote one example:
Further, we know that, in 1530, the government of Henry VIII the dear, well-loved, jolly, bluff, fat, sordid, paranoid, pox-ridden, wastrel, Henry passed into law the Egyptians Act:
So gypsies were Egyptians in common parlance, and Little Egypt was their place of origin. Yes, I know, it just adds another theory to the old ones, but it is definitely my favourite. Whether it hangs simply with Glasss idea of the people on top of the hill seeming different and slightly aloof from the comings and goings in the valley, or whether Rorys substantial claim to a gypsy encampment in the area takes hold, I cant be 100% sure, but then no historian ever can be.
Im not trying to close this item. I present the ideas here to open up discussion.
Alasdair North has done just that, and has pointed me at an item on the Foxearth website which seems to suggest that Glemsfordians being known as "Egyptians" was current BEFORE the Melford riot. It was clearly intended as an insult.

With commodity prices of crops such as corn and soybeans reaching near record levels, local farmers should be delighted with their prospects as they enter spring planting season, but are they?
The Georgia House of Representatives has recognized Dr. Karl E. Peace, founding director of the Center for Biostatistics, and professor of Biostatistics in the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health at Georgia Southern University, as a "Shining Star" in the University System of Georgia.

The economy of Bulloch County should receive a "shot in the arm" when thousands of fans descend on Statesboro to witness the start of stage two of the prestigious Tour de Georgia cycling race.
The Statesboro/Bulloch County African-American Business Owners Coalition (AABOC) will hold its third annual business awards banquet at the Fielding Russell Union Ballroom on the campus of Georgia Southern University, Saturday at 7 p.m. Themed "Binding Businesses to Build A Better Community", the event will serve as a capstone for the organization's activities for the year.

Payback is a bitch, and it's even worse when the doing the payback has a huge cock. Kyle gave Sebastian some attitude on the photo shoot so Sebastian was gonna give this slut a serious work over in their first scene together. Sebastian slides his cock down Kyle's throat making him gag on uncut Latin cock making it all wet and ready for Kyle's big daddy ass. Sebastian did not waste any time and starting pounding the shit out of Kyle and teaching him a lesson on how to take his raw cock. Kyle finally gave in and just let Sebastian do whatever he wanted including seeding his ass like a good little bitch!

Work details
Silence of the Grave by Arnaldur Indriðason (2001)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the second book in Indridason's Inspector Erlendur series, 11 of 14 of which have been translated into English. It's the first I've read, so I have no comment on how it fits into the series.
When human remains are found in what appears to be a grave on a construction site, the Reykjavik homicide squad, led by Inspector Erlendur, is call to investigate -- as is a team of archeologists from the National Museum and a geologist from the university. By examining the soil strata, the geologist determines the grave to be about 70 years old -- so the mystery becomes who was buried there and why.
The story of the investigation is interwoven with chapters revealing the harrowing life of a family terrorized by the father during the wartime occupation of Iceland, first by the British and then by the Americans.
The plot is more focused on character than procedures or revelations. It certainly belongs to the Scandinavian-noir genre -- a fast, but not particularly pleasant read.
I have to say, this guy is a writer on par with Raymond Chandler, that other master of the Noir genre. The translator was no slouch, either. I wasn't left with the feeling that something was missing, although I think a glossary of Icelandic terms used in the book would have helped. However, I was able to infer what was meant by many of the terms by the context, or it became clear with further reading of the book.
The story spans a 70-year period in Iceland, from World War II to the turn of this century. The novel starts with a scene of a children's birthday party, where a baby is chewing on what looks like a white stone. An observant medical student takes notice, and upon inspection, he realizes it's actually a human rib bone. A search for the grave ensues by the birthday guests and the birthday boy's mother. The police are called, and that's how Erlendur gets involved in the case.
The story involves graphic scenes of domestic violence. While there aren't graphic depictions of physical violence against children, the verbal abuse is pretty awful. Erlendur's daughter is a drug user, so that life is depicted as well.
The writing was so good, that I was swept up in the story, even though on an emotional level, it wasn't easy reading. The plot jumps back and forth between the turn of the millennium and the American occupation of Iceland during World War II. This period of history especially interested me, because my mother spent part of World War II in Iceland, when she was prevented from returning to her native Norway by the Nazi occupation of that country. It was a fascinating period of time in Iceland's history, because they were in danger of being invaded by the Nazis and the allied troops were there to protect them. Along with the influx of soldiers, came a housing shortage, which resulted in some strange living arrangements for people, such as the family in the book.
More than that, I don't want to say, because I don't want to spoil the plot for anyone. But lovers of Scandinavian crime fiction, or "Ice Noir" as I like to call it (still hoping that term will catch on!) will enjoy this book, as will anyone who enjoys a good mystery that is well-written.
As a young girl I witnessed domestic abuse in a close family member's household that traumatized me. Mr. Indrioason's novel so accurately portrays the family dynamics involved in this crime that I almost put the book down because of the discomfort I was feeling. I'm glad I didn't! Good job done on taking the curtain off one of society's biggest disgraces.
The discovery of an unmarked grave at a building site outside Reykjavik starts an investigation into the past. A row of red currant bushes is the only indication left of a house that stood not too far from the gravesite. While the archeologists slowly dig out the corpse and the past is put into context piece by piece, Erlendur also has to deal with a phone call for help from his estranged daughter.
It took me a while to get into the story, but after that this was a very satisfying read. The story is told on various levels - the story of the family that lived on the hill, the story of Erlendur and his family, the context of the story of Reykjavik during World War II. Many relationships are explored before the backdrop of this story.
The discovery of two skeletons at a construction site in suburban Reykjavik leads Erlendur and his colleagues to a case of severe and terrifying domestic violence dating back to World War II, when American troops were posted in Iceland. There's no urgency to solving the crime, given that it's decades old, but there are several mysteries that need resolving.
With only two of his novels currently circulating in English translation, Arnaldur Indridason puts Iceland on the map as a major destination for enthusiasts of Nordic crime fiction.The author raises the same ghosts in SILENCE OF THE GRAVE applying his austere style to a crime of such emotional breadth and sociological complexity that it acquires the sweep and consequence of epic storytelling.
The title of Arnaldur Indridason' s new book, Silence of the Grave , gives an indication of the case that confronts the Icelandic detective Erlendur and his colleagues in the Reykjavik police: the discovery of a skeleton on the outskirts of the city. It is a fascinating mystery, which develops slowly while we learn more about the unhappy Erlendur and his relationship with his estranged family. Indridason's low-key style is far from the fast-moving thrillers that fill the best-seller lists, but he's a writer worth seeking out.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312427328, Paperback)
Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award
Inspector Erlendur returns in this gripping Icelandic thriller When a skeleton is discovered half-buried in a construction site outside of Reykjavík, Inspector Erlendur finds himself knee-deep in both a crime scene and an archeological dig. Bone by bone, the body is unearthed, and the brutalizing history of a family who lived near the building site comes to light along with it. Was the skeleton a man or a woman, a victim or a killer, and is this a simple case of murder or a long-concealed act of justice? As Erlendur tries to crack this cold case, he must also save his drug-addicted daughter from self destruction and somehow glue his hopelessly fractured family back together.
Like the chilly Nordic mysteries of Henning Mankell and Karen Fossum, Arnaldur Indridason delivers a stark police procedural full of humanity and pathos, a classic noir from a very cold place.

"In Silence of the Grave, a corpse is found on a hill outside the city, and Detective Inspector Erlendur Sveinsson and his team think the body may have been buried for some years." "While Erlendur struggles to hold together the crumbling fragments of his own family, slowly but surely he finds out the truth about another unhappy family. Few people are still alive who can tell the tale, but even secrets taken to the grave cannot remain hidden forever."--BOOK JACKE… (more)

Nesting Materials & Roosts
Encourage wild birds to reside at your place with nesting material, it absolutely helps in nest construction to brood and raise young. Some birds use houses- and some don't, find options for hosting everyone. Nest cups, roosts, nesting kits & wreaths are just a few cool items birds love!
Entice birds to your yard with nesting materials to provide for their basic needs. Both cavity dwelllers- using bird houses, and non-cavity dwelling birds are attracted to a variety of nest materials. Hanging birdhouses in your landscape is a great way to attract them, but not all feathered friends use them.
Adding various materials to your habitat gives a greater chance of seeing more species... and watching fledges if you're lucky! Nest Balls and nesting wreaths assist birds in their search for suitable digs; mosses, feathers, cotton strings, soft pet hair, lichens and other fibers for lining their nests. These are some of the most common nesting materials preferred by backyard birds. Some resident fliers will even line roosting boxes and shelters in winter with these same materials.
The Hummer Helper Nest Kit attracts hummingbirds, goldfinches and others, it's even endorsed by The Hummingbird Society. The Birdie Bell can be used year round for feeding fruit in summer, and seed bells or suet in winter months. Most kits are available with refills, making them suitable for year-round use.
As always, adding a bird bath with moving water is also a great way to attract more birds to your garden!

His 10-year-old frame was small in the pew, dwarfed by his grandfather Ray Titshaw's big head and shoulders. Both were quiet, solemn through the service until a microphone was passed to Titshaw.

Skip to comments.Two Senators Say U.S. Should Arm Syrian Rebels [McCain & Graham]
Posted on 02/19/2012 6:49:38 PM PST by Hunton Peck
With the Syrian government continuing its deadly crackdown on its citizens, two senior American senators who were on their way to the Middle East spoke out strongly on Sunday in favor of arming the Syrian opposition forces.
¶ The senators, John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, both Republicans, laid out a series of diplomatic, humanitarian and military aid proposals that would put the United States squarely behind the effort to topple President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. The senators, both of whom are on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said that rebel fighters deserved to be armed and that helping them take on the Syrian government would aid Washingtons effort to weaken Iran.
¶ Syria relies on Iran for financial and military support, and the governments in Damascus and Tehran have sectarian ties as well: Iran has strongly backed the Syrian Shiite minority and the offshoot Alawite sect that makes up Syrias ruling class.
¶ I believe there are ways to get weapons to the opposition without direct United States involvement, Mr. McCain said. The Iranians and the Russians are providing Bashar Assad with weapons. People that are being massacred deserve to have the ability to defend themselves.
¶ So I am not only not opposed, he said, but I am in favor of weapons being obtained by the opposition.
¶ Syrias crackdown continued on Sunday, including action near the heart of Damascus, in the Mezze neighborhood near the presidential palace. A day after security forces opened fire on a large demonstration there, killing at least one person, residents reported a heavy concentration of troops throughout the city, apparently sent to head off another protest.
¶ At least 14 people were reported killed around the country, some by the government and some by armed opposition forces, according...

I think we should airdrop McCain and his lady friend into Syria and let them fix it.
Isn't this the type of action that led to the Taliban formation?
Why are 2 US Senators and al-Qaeda on the same side in support of the rebels? What's wrong with this picture?
Great! More idiocy from Capt Queeg and his sock puppet
Assad is a brutal thug who is no friend to the United States, to Israel, or to any other decent country or person. However, the opposition is likely to be far worse than Assad. Why would we spend our money and assets on making the situation more dangerous for decent people (a category that does not include either side in the Syrian uprising/civil war)?
Because you don't know the history of Syria's relationship and the United States.
How much do you think the average American citizen knows about the "below the radar" relationship between Syria and United States?
The Arab League needs to stop treating us like their paid mercenaries. They condemn the crap going on in Syria but won't do anything about it.
Instead they apply pressure to us (The Saudis are cutting oil output) so we can go in and piss some more islamderthals off so they don't have to feel the heat.
I agree with Polster. Look what the genius and the smartest woman on the planet accomplished in North Africa. They are returning us to the 15th Century. I wish we could toss them both out of an airplane into Syria.
arming Muslim Brotherhood side will result in escalating the civil war worse than it is.
Also with Russia and China supporting the government side , could well begin another WW which we don't want. (although it could fix our economy,(think 1941) but then it would give Obama another four years) Holy cow!! what am I saying???
my God
Now, the REPUBLICANS are supporting the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
If Assad holds out, Shiite Iran and Russia will be pleased and we are back to square one, with Syria being even more anti American.
If Assad is overthrown, the Sunnis , Al Qaeda , Saudi Arabia win, and Assad and his Alawites along with the Christians will get wiped out.
There is no good outcome for us. - Tom
Make them walk and swim instead.
I say we go for Operation Chaos - arm the rebels and keep this thing going.
I really despise McCain and the weak sister Lyndsay Graham and there ridiculous attempts to be relevant and "involved". Now they want to support the side in Syria that has included in its many goals the MURDER & EXPULSION of the 10% of the Syrian population that is Christian. In 2014 we need to do whatever we can to rid our government of that South Carolina weak sister. His replacement with Congressman Tim Scott or (not as good as Scott but far better than Graham) Governor Nikki Haley whose term in office ends in 2014.
Oh you SOB...I clicked on this thread solely to post the same comment...(fail for me!)
I have traveled to that part of the world, and I know a fair amount about our distant past and recent past with Syria. But you're right. If there is something in our history that says it's a good idea to replace Assad with the rebels, I don't know what that could be.
Get the Christains out through Israel then microwave some popcorn and the rest will take care of itself.
I wouldn't trust either of these idiots to water my plants. Maybe Graham is looking for work over there as a dancing boy.
Jesus Harold Christ, I knew it was these two useless f*cktards before I even read....
LOL it was so easy.
McCain talks a big game about being a fiscal conservative but these endless military adventures get pretty freakin expensive after a while.
These two people are insane.
Giving weapons to the opposition is like a death warrant for Christians in Syria.The Islamics will only be worse than the tyrant Syria has now.
Don't either of them ever read a paper?
Remember, McCain wants new and increased aid for the radical Muslims now in charge of Libya and Egypt too!
Please elaborate.
The Hama massacre occurred in February 1982, when the Syrian army, under the orders of the country's president, Hafez al-Assad, conducted a scorched earth operation against the town of Hama in order to quell a revolt by the Sunni Muslim community against the regime of al-Assad. The Hama massacre, carried out by the Syrian Army under commanding General Rifaat al-Assad, President Assad's younger brother, effectively ended the campaign begun in 1976 by Sunni Islamic groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, against Assad's regime, whose leaders were disproportionately from president Assad's own Alawite sect.
The 40,000 MB terrorists killed convinced the Muslim Brotherhood to leave Syria and pretend to renounce violence.
They made themselves busy in Egypt, assassinating two Presidents, but were subject to enough pressure to relocate to Afghanistan and become an integral part of forming al Queda.
Assad Sr. was the only guy the Muslim Brotherhood was afraid of.
I can count only three times Syrians have cooperated with the United States:
1.Sepetember 11
2.Gulf War One
3.USS Cole.
The Syrians are on the list of State Sposored Terrorism list.
Very Good Points
But it's worse than that. The Arab League doesn't pay us. We stupidly act like unpaid mercenaries.
That was my first reaction to the situation. "Why do we want to stop this war."
Both sides, and their supporters are anti- American.
The Al Qaeda backed Sunnis vs the Iranian and Russian backed Alawite Shiites. I would not get in between them. -Tom
McCain and Graham? There is the old idiot from Ariazona... and his Sock Puppet South Carolina. Enough said.
I'd just like to ask either of them... what the hell can we do about anything that goes on there? We can't even control this country anymore. They don't give a damn what we say anymore, and Europe is even more of a joke than we are!
It's out of control. Period.
The only thing I think about that part of the world anymore is there is going to be at least one, if not more, very big explosions there soon, and we can't do a damn thing about it.
Our chance to change the outcome was around the time that Harry Reed proclaimed defeat in Iraq and Nancy Pelosi donned the Studda Bubba scarf to kiss Assad's ring.
Well... Nancy had a bigger enemy back then... a Republican president, so cuddling up with a sadistic Mideast mass murderer was justified in her corrupt little Washington politically calculating mind. She so wanted to insult President Bush that she decided to make love to a thug.
I honestly doubt that she has any regrets... and I honestly doubt she is even capable of regret. Politics is all that matters to her. It helped her and her party at that moment when things could have changed for the better, but gaining a temporary advantage was far more important to her.
Maybe Nancy should call her old buddy Assad and tell him to keep the slaughter to the minimum --- maybe 200,000 --- because all those decaying bodies and the methane they emit might impact global warming. Sort of like UN carnage limits instead of carbon limits. ;~(
Then she can take credit for that at the next Global Warming Circle Jerk.
I'll bet that's three more times than a new Syrian Caliphate would cooperate with us.
Back in the 1970's, mobs protested violently against the Shah. Good ol' Jimmah Carter sided with the mob against the evil dictator. Shah out, Ayatollah in.
The situation is not identical today because Assad is not our ally as the Shah was. But there is still a lesson to be learned.
Syria has been on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism since the list's inception in 1979 and deems it to be a safe-haven for terrorists. In 1986, the U.S. withdrew its ambassador and imposed additional administrative sanctions on Syria in response to evidence of direct Syrian involvement in an attempt to blow up an Israeli airplane
Well, McCain and Graham were all in favor of the same sort of policy in the Balkans, so there's no surprise here.
After all, it's only Eastern Christians (in the Balkans just us Orthodox, though in Syria there are Jacobites and Melkite Uniates as well) who will get slaughtered, not Latins or protestants, so who cares? The Saudis will be pleased.
If look at the two incidents at that list those involve Al Queda.Syrian Intelligence did not like Bin Laden. Syrian Intelligence supports Hamas and Hezbollah. Al Qaida has been helping the rebels in Syria.
Hey it's the best govt Saudi oil money can buy.
I'm SO tired of hearing about Sen. Graham....I will be so thankfull when we South Carolinians can vote the goober out in 2014!!
John McCain armed Kosovo Islamic terrorists
Everybody knows the US will do nothing, or worse, stab a friend in the back, as long as Zer0 or a Rat is President. As we speak Zer0 is doing everything he can to persuade Israel to NOT attack Iran.
Yet we don't hear much from Israel, why is that?
There is one coalition that is backing existing stability as opposed to one side or faction.
That coalition has credibility regarding resolve and the willingness to kill, and they have nuclear weapons. This coalition is universally condemned by all the same entities that condemn Israel. Finally, the members of this coalition have good relations with Israel.
It is possible that returning stability to the Middle East simply requires preventing the Muslim Brotherhood from expanding by having the resolve to kill them wholesale and turn their works into black glass should they become irritating.
McCain and Graham???
War Mongering Rinos!!!!
When the Schumer hits the fan here in the US of A will they be this ready and eager to arm American rebels?
McCain has done so much damage to America. What a disgrace this man is. He needs to retire immediately and just fade away. Everything he does seemed aimed at burning the constitution.
Graham and McCain fall into the category of people whom Pat Buchanan derisively calls "democratists," that is, people who believe that all peoples everywhere in the world, no matter the nature of their culture or state of development, should have have full democracy, and they should have it right now. The same attitude led George W. Bush to empower Hamas to come to power in the Gaza Strip via democratic elections.
You ain't seen nothing yet. The neocon warriors are already lusting for a war w Iran.
Isn't it strange that they promote democracy in those countries but never constitutional republics like ours?
I look forward to the day those two fools are out of office, just as much as that joke, in the white house.

What's New
Veterans Day 2015 - Hawaii News Now "Sunrise on the Road"
New Aircraft: General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon
July 27, 2016. General Dynamics F-16A Fighting Falcon arrives at Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor on Ford Island, Oahu, Hawaii. This aircraft came from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. The jet's fuselage, wings, and parts will be kept in Lt. Ted Shealy's Restoration Shop.
New Aircraft Arrival: Bell OH-58D Kiowa
The Kiowa was a small and agile scout/observation helicopter. Introduced in 1969, OH-58As joined divisional reconnaissance squadrons in Vietnam. In visual reconnaissance, a Kiowa flew at tree level or lower, looking for the enemy. If it found them — often by taking fire — the crew called a helicopter gunship orbiting above.
The ultimate version of the little scout is the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. By the 1980s, enemy ground fire had become too powerful for up-close-and-personal scouting. The Kiowa Warrior, an OH-58D upgrade introduced in 1991, was built to do armed reconnaissance in hostile environments. Its two-person crew could be armed with an impressive choice of rockets, missiles, and heavy machine guns. Thanks to its mast-mounted-scope, the Kiowa Warrior could shield its fuselage under obstacles, yet look for the enemy day and night.
In 2015, the Army retired its Kiowa fleet. Our "D" model was delivered on April 30, 2015 from the United States Army 2-6 Cavalry Squadron, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade out of Wheeler Field, Oahu, Hawaii.

Sean Penn Is No Stooge
Sean Penn has pulled out of the proposed Three Stooges movie, according to Variety.
Frankly, I never understood why he agreed to the film in the first place. I have a low tolerance for the Stooges, although I am a fan of Iggy Pop. Maybe he thought that was who he was playing.
Penn had been scheduled to play Larry, opposite Benicio Del Toro's Moe and Jim Carrey's Curley.
The story cites "personal reasons" for the decision.
