Skip to comments.Military Course Called For 'Muslim Hiroshima'
Posted on 05/12/2012 3:10:51 AM PDT by LibWhacker
A course for the US military, which called for Muslim cities to be obliterated "like Hiroshima", has been suspended by the Pentagon.
Details of some of the inflammatory language used on the course, which was taught at the Joint Forces Staff College in Virginia, have been posted online.
It teaches that America's enemy is Islam in general and not just terrorists and calls for a "total war".
"They hate everything you stand for and will never coexist with you, unless you submit," the course instructor Army Lt Col Matthew Dooley said in a presentation for the course last July.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.sky.com ...
The only time I'd be really worried about our military would be if they WEREN'T teaching the obvious.
You and I are in complete agreement; see tagline.
I call Bee Ess on this story, given today's PC military where the Marine guards at GITMO wear gloves to handle the koran.
I want to see this material, published, to prove this claim.
Now, comments like this coming from the bluff and bluster of an individual instructor- maybe.
But published training material??? I need to see it.
This story seems like a set-up to permit CAIR to rape more money via lawsuits and be included in further intrusions by our govern
Don't just teach it do it!!!!
Following in the footsteps of the UK.
Following in the footsteps of the UK.
It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant (by choice) the MSM and liberal elite are regarding history and islam. They are the enemy of the West, have been for 1,400 years and will continue to be, until they're either corralled back into their respective hellholes or wiped out. I don't see them as any different than the nazis or communists, but given left leaning communist sympathy for the past 100 years, i can see why the left lends a deaf ear to our dear muslim friends. Remember, an old arab saying is the enemy of my enemy is my friend. No difference here, except liberals are so gullible that they think they will be the last eaten by muslims before their attempt to get at the rest of us. No problem, bring it on, mohammedans. However this time, if a real ass kickin' is needed, it needs to be done so thoroughly that they remain wallowing in pig shit for the next 1,000 years. If not, they'll be back, like they do periodically, over the past 1,400 years. Why? Because their koran tells them to. And why? Because it is the literal word of God, unchanging and unchangeable. That is why they remain the eternal enemy of the West, and why they probe for weakness from time to time and cease the opportunity when it arises. Like now, especially with a fellow traveler and ninny in the White House providing them access and cover. High treason. Wake up, America. November is only 6 months away.
Yes, that's my experience as well.
It's a done deal!
A Theocracy is still a theocracy even when run by Atheocratists.
I demand a separation of Church and State.
This should have happened on 9/11.
So what is the issue there?
The first item is a set of Dooley's personal training slides (his talking points) developed by the him, instructor, which I am not going to read
This begs the headline assertion that an instructors classroom slides are the same thing as "official" published Army training material.
As a former instructor - I know it is not.
However the commander of the training organization and his supervisors up the chain, ares required to have copies of all lesson plans and course materials and they are supposed to QC them, as well as randomly sit in and and observe classes.
So a failure of organization leadership to oversee a lecturers materials and classroom presentation does NOT make what he says and presents, official military policy.
Though I'm sure CAIR and Panetta and the obamites will smite the military as an entire organization in need of further sensitivity training so not to offend the barbarians plotting to destroy us.
This from a Wired Magazine article 5/10/12:
Americas top military officer condemned in the strongest possible terms a Defense Department course that taught troops to prep for a total war on Islam using Hiroshima-style tactics.
It was totally objectionable, against our values and it wasnt academically sound, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at a Pentagon press conference on Thursday. The instructor responsible for the course, Army Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dooley, is no longer in a teaching status, Dempsey added but he is still employed at the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va."
The harm perpetuated on student officers who accepted the implied authority of the instructor, Ollivant added, is obvious.
When our military officers, at this level, think this way, you know political correctness has run amok!
Yes, I've always felt Dubya dropped the ball there. Now they are building nukes and missiles to deliver them. How much longer are we going to wait? People like Dooley are sorely needed at the Pentagon and they don't even realize it.
"...Muslim cities to be obliterated 'like Hiroshima'..."
Should have happened on 9-12-01.
You mean this part: "Then I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire."
Yup, does sound like what it would look like after a H bomb went off.
When W came out with his "Islam is a religion of peace," the clarity needed to correctly define the enemy went down the drain.
Go here: http://babylonscovertwar.com/index.html
The book circulates in the intel community and SF arena...although it's out there for the public - it mainly is purchased and read within those circles.
Just because certain elites in the military prescribe to their evaluation reports - most do not. There's an unspoken truth that we all know in the IC and US military when it comes to Islam...and it's right in line with what this Light Colonel is instructing. By the way - I'm a CPT...and my guys know full well what I think.
From the article website:
It hurts our society, it hurts our nations image and it hurts our nation's security by creating the false impression that America is at war with Islam.
Ibrahim Hooper from the Council on American-Islamic Relations
Yeah - CAIR - the group that sponsors terrorist groups all over the world is saying:
"Oh my Allah, the truth is being taught - we must condemn it and speak out and make sure it's reported in the news so the US and others remain blind to our true intentions!"
Apparently, with this report and the coward that let loose the PDF from the course - they have yet one more success.
Doesn't matter, the soldiers who fought over there and others all know it - and will continue to get information on the true intent of Islam from other sources...
Like my website for instance!
When the muzzies nuke our cities, it will be like flushing a bunch of toilets after the Dems have turned them into welfare ghettoes.
As long as Bathhouse Barry is not in the White House, our response should be to annihilate them.
Barry has said he would not respond with nukes.
absolutely spot on
Fools. The homos and loud mouth women Libs will be the first to lose their heads should the muzzies take over.
Damn, I cudda aced that course!
Bflr and thanks for your service.
>>The only time I'd be really worried about our military would be if they WEREN'T teaching the obvious.
They muzzled him, so be worried. But I'm sure they have a FABULOUS course on Gay Integration Into Special Forces Units.
It is the world, and the world is losing.
This is a stealth war. Every day their troops are infiltrating into our society. Their most advance troops are known as CAIR,and the Muslim Brotherhood they are the
5th. column. They are taking the world without firing a shot,screaming for Sharia law, and getting it.
THE TRUTH: It's the new hate speech!
With that one line on 09/12/2001, George W. Bush surrendered human civilization and all of humanity to suffer muslim terrorism for this and many generations to come.
That was the one moment, the one opportunity, to unite the civilized world against the inhuman, uncivilized, hideously insane, destructive tyranny of islam
On 9/11, I told my guys at work the muzzies can be glad I don't have the nuclear football.
Mixing instructions:
Drop two loads Uranium on Iran's cement covered underground nuclear facility.
Drop two loads water to saturate.
Drop two loads of sandstone to cover.
Allow to bake over night.
When temp reaches 650 C, arrange press conference about the tragic nuclear meltdown in Iran.
Accidents happen.
Plenty o sand to make a sea of glass from. And a nice little night light for 10,00 years or so.
'...Muslim cities to be obliterated like Hiroshima...
"Should have happened on 9-12-01."
The moslems would love for this policy to exist.
Doubting it exists. Any group thinking our Military
will not trade a nuke for a nuke is nuts.
In case in point, moslems' qualify as nuts!
Remove Islam's top holy sites such as Mecca, Medina, Qom, Karbala, and Al-Aqsa and this religion will become as extinct as the Roman's and Viking's are today within a century. No Haj.
I've always admired your tagline, and as surely as Rome and Carthage had to resolve the contest once and for all, so shall Islam and ANY other culture. It is they who declare a war of extinction on all others.
"On 9/11, I told my guys at work the muzzies can be glad I don't have the nuclear football."
I guess you are not in the "Islam is a religion of peace" camp then . . .
Note my tagline.
Agreed, destroy the Haj.
From the perspective of someone who has been there, you will find few, if any, Statesmen in Washington DC, and few, if any, Warriors at the Pentagon. Only Politicians can be found at both places.
Thread BUMP! Fislam
"I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance
I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance"
The neutron bomb....a friendlier, greener way of killing lots of bad people.
During the Cold war between us and the Soviets, we announced a policy called Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) which called for immediate retaliation if either side ventured a first nuclear strike.
We are at the point against the jihadist terrorists where they might obtain a nuke and set it off in the US.
We should let it be known that our response would be to take out the cities of Mecca and Medina. The knowledge that they would lose the focal points of their militant religion should stay the hands of even the most fanatic terrorists.
NOW, just what gives you that idea?? < /sarc>
Not just now, but H*!! no.
CAIR is one step from al Qaeda itself as far as I'm concerned. And to think that some in our military (and a lot of our congress critters and other elites, too) are so pliable and mush-headed they actually pay heed to the bastards, has me fuming. Liberalism has done this to us and is no less an enemy than Islam.
(When I get a little time later, I'm going to check out your website. Something tells me I'll like it. Salute!)

NOT Your Typical Exhibition Opening
Friday night, Eastman House and Rochester Contemporary Art Center (ROCO) are teaming up for a progressive opening of their very unique exhibitions. Here's why East Ave. is the place to be this Friday, May 8:
Starting at Eastman House, from 6 to 8 p.m., you'll be the first in the area to experience NOT A CORNFIELD. This video/photography exhibition is described as an exploration into the sights and sounds of artist Lauren Bon's metabolic sculpture Not A Cornfield, which transformed an abandoned Los Angeles train yard from a brownfield into a green field in one agricultural cycle. The project was created to raise questions about the nature of urban public spaces and to convey redemption and hope.
I tried to sneak a peek at the exhibit during the ROC City Rising event at Eastman House Wednesday night. I could not see much behind the exhibit doors, but photos from the Eastman House blog and tweets revealed several interesting elements of the installation, including a giant pillow that you are encouraged to sit on – you don't see that everyday at Eastman House!
Then, from 7:30 to 10 p.m., ROCO opens its doors to view the exhibition in between featuring paintings and sculptures by Brooklyn-based artists Malin Abrahamsson and Ricky Sears inspired by their first experiences with Rochester's vacant lots. Visitors will also be able to visit the P.L.A.N.T. Reading Room. Inspired by the Metabolic Studio, the P.L.A.N.T. Reading Room is a new space dedicated to participatory art practice and a healthier Rochester. (P.L.A.N.T. = Place, Land, Art & Agriculture, Neighbors, and Technology).
Enjoy your art-filled night out as two of Rochester's most innovative galleries have your entire Friday night planned for you – all for FREE!!
Rachel Pikus is an electronic communications specialist for RIT's Development and Alumni Relations Department. She serves on the Eastman Young Professionals' Steering and Outreach Committees.

Tired Of The Free Ride For The Undeserving
To the Readers' Forum:
During the last presidential campaign one of the campaigns was lambasted for making a comment about the "47%." What he said was absolutely correct. Roughly half the population receives "free stuff" from the government and any threat, real or imagined, to those freebies will be dealt with at the ballot box. That segment of society has become addicted to their free stuff such as "Obamaphones." I know for for a fact that several of our local citizens who have received said phones also have phones they pay for thus having multiple phones.
Also, where has the personal responsibility gone? When taxpayers who support themselves through hard work decide, for instance, to have children they know that with that decision comes increased associated costs with having a child and they gladly accept the reduction in discretionary income. When those who rely on public benefits decides to have a child (or several children in some cases) they simply walk to the DSS office and get more money. Zero responsibility and a state government that supports with open arms that behavior. I, as a taxpayer, am tired of the free ride for those who don't deserve it.

Topic: questions about configuring unicorn
I've been asked to get some RoR apps running inside unicorn. (on RHEL6)
This is my first time using RoR.
I installed ruby, and the unicorn gem. Did a rails new myapp,
My question. How does unicorn know about myapp? Is that part of the 'rails new myapp' ?
I have other apps on another server. I'd like to be able to copy them over to my server, and bounce unicorn, but obviously, unicorn wouldn't be aware of my app. Can someone explain how this is configured? I've searched the node, and I don't see a file called unicorn.conf.rb

Happy Mother's Day!
I have been visiting my mother for an "early Mother's Day" celebration and she and I spent an evening reminiscing about all of the advice she has given me over the years. The funny thing is that I often catch myself talking to my own children, and even my patients, and say, "I am sounding just like my mother". The reason being is that she has given me a lot of good advice. The best advice which has stood the test of time is "do the best that you can and you can be anything you want." She also told me "you should also always be able to take care of yourself." That has also been great advice and something I have told my own children. Another good piece of advice remains as true today as it did 40 years ago; "never chase a boy (they always had to call first) and all of your dates must come to the door to meet your parents." As a mother of sons, I told my boys how important it is to go to the door, make eye contact with the girl's parents, introduce themselves, and to let the parent know that they are responsible gentleman and will always respect their daughter. This advice is timeless. Here are a few more "Jeanne-isms" worth remembering: No white shoes before Easter or after Labor Day ,Stand up straight and hold your shoulders back, If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. I know you too have memories of wonderful mothers' advice worth sharing. Keep passing them on to your children. Many are timeless, no matter what we used to think.

Skip to comments.John Maynard Keynes had it all wrong because he was gay and childless says Harvard professor
Posted on 05/04/2013 7:07:00 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe
A Harvard professor took to the podium at a finance conference Friday and called major influencer of modern economics John Maynard Keynes wrong about his philosophies because he was gay and childless.
During a question and answer session in Carlsbad, California, well-known historian Niall Ferguson was asked how he felt about the theories of English economist John Maynard Keynes versus those of Edmund Burke.
What the prominent Obama critic said in response hushed the crowd of over 500.
According to Tom Kostigen, editor-at-large of Financial Advisor magazine, Ferguson made it clear that he believed Keynes was uninterested in the what was good for society, basically because of his sexual orientation.
Ferguson asked the audience how many children Keynes had, wrote Kostigen in Financial Advisor. He explained that Keynes had none because he was a homosexual and was married to a ballerina, with whom he likely talked of "poetry" rather than procreated.
Kostigen said many of the audience members took offense at the remark, but that Ferguson continued.
Ferguson, author of The Great Degeneration: How Institutions Decay and Economies Die,' wrote Kostigen, says it's only logical that Keynes would take this selfish worldview because he was an "effete" member of society.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Couples who choose to not have children tend to be more liberal just like couples who choose to have 10 children tend to be more conservative.
Maybe you should re-read the headline of the thread.
"In the long run, we're all dead." --John Maynard Krebs
A childless homo can more afford a "screw future generations" and "spend it all now" philosophy.
He was childless and his philosophy of life was essentially a short-run philosophy. --Joseph Schumpeter
John Maynard Keynes would have done a great service if he had begun The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money with the disclosure that he was a Bloomsbury aesthete and a practicing homosexual. He could have explained how he and friends did not believe in self-denial or consider that they had any obligation to posterity. (An historian has pointed out that Keyness famous remark, In the long run we are all dead, is easy to make if you have no children and dont want any.) Perhaps as a result we might have lower federal deficits.
--Henry Kaufman
I guess Ferguson has already retracted his statement, but hopefully this episode will open some eyes.
So you know what I do now? I shout louder.
If that's the game they want to play, so be it.
What do they have in common?
Sterile intercourse.
Preach it. His writing changed my life.
I wish at least Catholics knew of him.
Why? Because when government spending doesn't result in economic growth, government spending is increased, further delaying recovery and prompting more government spending.
It's a vicious Keynesian circle.
Richard Rodriguez
All true enough. I said I won't defend Keynes... And I won't. But most people still misunderstand what Keynesianism was all about.
And Obama is sending our economy further in to debt and despair intentionally so there is a good argument he could care even less than Keynes. It's mathematically impossible to pay off in any case however many generations of slave laborers out. Whatever anyone may think of gays or childless couples there is no way in hell they are primarily responsible for our current deficit.
To clarify, I don't at the present time know any childless couples. [When I lived in MA I knew many, but they were moonbats to begin w so their unconcern for debts & deficits had partly to do w no kids & partly to do w being mindless leftists.] What's even more disturbing, the singles I was alluding to are not self-identifying liberals.
To give you one example. I know a heterosexual, single man of 57. He is Southern Baptist & claims to be a Republican. He's spent his life trying to make a living at what he loves & never really made a go of it. He has zip put aside for retirement, no health insurance, & is beginning to develop symptoms of some type of physical malady.
The last time this formerly good friend of mine & I spoke, he told me flat out he wants "free" healthcare. He voted for Obama in hopes of getting it. I guess I got a little too excited trying to explain what "free" means in this context. [I.e.: his healthcare probably *will* be 'free'—for him. The younger generation will be saddled w paying for it. That is, until he moves to the head of the death panel die-list (which given his circumstances, won't take long).] He hasn't spoken to me since.
The original point I had in mind is that this man is uninvested in the future. W no kids, he sees only himself. He wants things for "free". What that does to future generations is none of his concern.
Hope that helps.
Mrs. Don-o: I always love your pings, regardless of subject matter. You are one of my all-time favorite freepers—no time like the present to let you know. :)
Richard Rodriguez
It's like a heart-punch to me now when I hear young couples proudly proclaim, "we don't want kids."
Then what is your relationship about? I doubt it's self-sacrifice for the eternal good of the other.
I attribute this primarily to his atheism (motivated by his homosexuality) and self-centeredness, exacerbated by being childless.
And that gets to the nitty gritty of the traditional view of marriage vs today's.
Long before they redefined it to include gays, I thought it had already been redefined...by those who declared marriage was purely about the "happiness" of the adults involved. Their self fulfillment - their goals - their hobbies - their money etc....
The notion that the primary purpose of marriage was to have children and form a family seems to be rare now.
Thank is a beautiful, heartwarming pic. Thank you for making my day!
Well I can understand it more in the case of an atheist. I got overly frustrated w my friend because somewhere between his Southern Baptist & claimed Republican affiliations he ought to know better.
Now another single man I had in mind is a Wiccan. He's not, interestingly enough, a self-described liberal. He makes much of his paganism, though. He wants one thing only from the government: uninterrupted benefits. He's an implicit believer in reincarnation, which you'd think wd give him a stake in the future. I guess since he doesn't claim to know where or in what form he'll be back, he doesn't care if the US is broke by then, or even exists. (I've challenged his reincarnation views, incidentally; it just makes him cranky. According to him, all Christians are hypocrites, & that is the end of the discussion.]
I should have said, 'more broke than we already are'. But in my friend's eyes the US won't be truly broke until his checks stop coming, so in his eyes it hasn't happened yet.
Gay and childless. The professor's comments focused on the childless aspects.
And he's certain that he's smarter than you are. He just doesn't have to prove it.
That was the real turning point. I think that attitude was developing during the fifties, with the rise of modern psychology, and took off in the sixties. "No fault divorce" was probably the legal tipping point.
The notion that the primary purpose of marriage was to have children and form a family seems to be rare now.
My hopeful side says that people want to have kids "sometime," and once they have children, they mature. My cynical side says that people view their children like pets. Nice to have around sometimes, but a lot of unnecessary hassle.
OMC—you nailed it! He is actually a member of Mensa, no joke. As such, you bet there's nothing anybody can tell him.
The truth is, he's quite smart but lacks wisdom. He had a major, major heart attack [smokes like a smokestack & drinks a lot on a daily basis]. Afterward he wrote a piece for the local paper entitled 'Surviving a Heart Attack'. He ended with the lines, 'My Christian friends are using the experience to try to convert me. I don't know why; I'm not trying to convert them to Wicca'.
Pretty sad state of affairs. Not interested in truth, so there's not much to work with. All you can do is pray for him.
"All you can do is pray for him."
Amen, brother. I do it on a daily basis. Prayer moves mountains. We'll see what surprises the future may hold.
Hedonism vs responsibility
id vs ego.
grasshopper vs ants.
hedonism is only about now, responsibility is about future.
So, now you are saying that if gays adopt they will make better economists?
right! And this is why it's so difficult to fight the re-definition when it pertains to gay marriage.
If we have already re-defined it for straights who think of themselves first - who view children as a burden - and often view fertility as a PROBLEM - then it isn't that large a leap to accept gay marriage.

Today, the United Nations Security Council convened for the seventh time to address the urgent crisis in Ukraine. The UN Security Council voted on a resolution on Ukraine, but the resolution was vetoed by Russia. After the vote, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said:
"...Today, one again searches in vain, to find truth in the Russian position on Crimea, on Ukraine, or on the proposed Security Council resolution considered and vetoed a few moments ago.
"The truth is that this resolution should not have been controversial. It was grounded in principles that provide the foundation for international stability and law: Article 2 of the UN Charter; the prohibition on the use of force to acquire territory; and respect for the sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of member states. These are principles that Russia agrees with and defends vigorously all around the world -- except, it seems, in circumstances that involve Russia.
"The resolution broke no new legal or normative ground. It simply called on all parties to do what they had previously pledged, through internationally binding agreements, to do. It recalled specifically the 1975 Helsinki Final Act and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which Russia and other signatories reaffirmed their commitments themselves to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity and to refrain from aggressive military action toward that country.
"The resolution called on the government of Ukraine to do what it has promised it will do: to protect the rights of all Ukrainians, including those belonging to minority groups.
"Finally, the resolution noted that the planned Crimean referendum, scheduled for tomorrow, has no legal validity and will have no legal effect on the status of Crimea."
Ambassador Power continued, "...Russia has used its veto as an accomplice to unlawful military incursion -- the very veto given nearly 70 years ago to countries who had led an epic fight against aggression. But in so doing, Russia cannot change the fact that moving forward in blatant defiance of the international rules of the road will have consequences. Nor can it change Crimea's status. Crimea is part of Ukraine today; it will be part of Ukraine tomorrow; it will be part of Ukraine next week; it will be part of Ukraine unless and until its status is changed in accordance with Ukrainian and international law.
"Russia prevented adoption of a resolution today. But it cannot change the aspirations and destiny of the Ukrainian people. And it cannot deny the truth displayed today that there is overwhelming international opposition to its dangerous actions."

- 1.1 Permanent Working Groups (Teams)
Producing a world-leading software product like Joomla requires the contribution of time and attention from a large number of different people. One of the issues we come across repeatedly is how to direct potential contributors to areas of the project where they can have the most rewarding and fun experience by being able to work on stuff that matters to them. The Production Working Groups idea is a scheme to encourage groups of people to come together to work on specific areas that we think require particular attention and work. Each of these teams will be led by one or more community members who will foster collaboration within the group and communicate on a regular basis with the Production Leadership Team (PLT).
If you are interested in helping out with the work of any of the teams listed, then simply contact the relevant coordinator. If you have no idea where you should help or who to contact you can reach out to Chris Davenport, email@example.com.
Community members are free to propose new working groups by following the procedure outlined on this page. The PLT will review the proposal and probably ask further questions. If approved, the new working group will be listed here and you are all set to go. Each group can choose to use whatever resources and communications channels that make sense for them and this page may include links to further information, ongoing communications or other items of relevance to the team.
Working groups will exist until the job they were set up to do has been completed. Which means that some teams, like the Bug Squad, will be permanent, while others will form and disband in the space of a single release cycle.
These working groups must follow our expected values of openness, inclusion and collaboration. They must follow the mission, vision and values of the Joomla project and additionally we would need the working group coordinators to sign the Joomla Contributor Agreement (JCA). Ordinary working group members would not be required to sign, although they are welcome to do so of course. Regular communication between the working group coordinators and the PLT is expected and it would be great if the teams could blog periodically so that the wider community can be kept in touch with progress.

Sterndrives Versus Jet Boats: What's The Right Choice For Your Family?
February 8, 2012
You may have seen some of the new jet-drive boats that have come into the boating marketplace in the past few years. They are kind of like an overgrown personal watercraft (PWC), and they can be fun to drive. But are they the right fit for you and your family? Let's compare jet-drive boats to traditional sterndrive propulsion. The answers may surprise you.
This is probably the most important factor to consider when comparing a jet boat to a sterndrive. If you've ever ridden a PWC, then you may remember that you didn't have total control at all speeds. Jet drives lose the ability to steer when you back off the throttle. Of course that's most noticeable when you are heading toward a hazard and the natural inclination is to slow down. Just like with a PWC, you have to remember to "power out" or apply more throttle to make a sharp turn. While that may be part of the fun on a 10-foot PWC, a 21-footer with a boat full of friends and family is another story. Sterndrives, on the other hand, allow you to steer with confidence at all speeds.
You never hear anyone complaining about the quiet, efficient operation of a sterndrive. Everyone on board is able to have a conversation at just about any speed. And that adds to the enjoyment of the day. Jet boats, however, can be up to three times louder under normal conditions. Again, think about the PWCs zipping around your lake and the amount of noise they can generate compared to traditional boats.
Ride Quality
This really isn't much of a contest. Simply put, the traditional Deep-V hull shape of a sterndrive is made to cut through choppy water. It's a more comfortable ride, and it's much easier to handle. Jet boats are okay when the conditions are flat-glass perfect, but how often does that happen? When the going gets rough out on the water, so does the ride of a jet boat.
Shallow Water
The familiar and dependable operation of a sterndrive is perfect for "skinny" water. The outdrive is easy to trim up in shallow conditions and you still have excellent control and thrust. Jet drives are a different story. Because the boat's propulsion relies on pulling in water and shooting it back out, it's very common to suck up all kinds of debris into the intake. Rocks, sand, weeds and other foreign matter can put you out of commission in a hurry, stranding you out on the water, and possibly causing expensive damage.
Tow Sports
One of the great joys out on the water is the fun of board sports such as wakeboarding. But those sports depend on a crisp well-defined wake behind the boat for the best results. Jet drives, though, tend to produce a small wake that's full of "wash" and not that great for launching out of the water for more complex maneuvers. The sharp wakes created by a sterndrive boat, however, are perfect for even the most advanced tricks.
Sterndrives have been around for many years and their durability and reliability is well known. Since the current selection of jet boats has really only been around for a short time, the jury's still out on how they will hold up over time. One thing to consider, however, is that jet systems are constantly pulling in raw water for propulsion. That's more water contact with the internal systems, which could lead to corrosion problems down the line. And if there's one thing you don't want to have to deal with, it's the prospect of solving rust issues inside your engine.
Here's one area where sterndrives and jet drives are pretty evenly matched. A 21-foot jet boat with two four-stroke engines (two x 200 horsepower) will top out at about 50 mph, while a 21-foot sterndrive with a V6 220 horsepower will be nearly the same speed at roughly 48 mph.
No matter what you've heard, the fact is that jet drives just come up short when compared to the dependable, safe, proven performance of a sterndrive.

Hello guys, I'm here to present you a french project:
"Take Off" is a short movie project that will promote the discipline of Mil-Sim across France and perhaps even beyond our borders. But before we get there, it took several months of preparation, and it is not finished.
Attention, we do not aim the creation of a"holiday memories" movie. Clearly we will try to approach closer to the filmic. This means: a scenario, a sequence following a logical chronology, with respective roles for each member of the cast and a solid technical background in image capture and sound, compositing, editing and visual decision views.
The teaser is now available, an english version arrive soon:
The subtitles are available
For the short movie you must be patient, again 1-2 month. it will be with english subtitle.
screenshots of the movie:
follow us :

4-H is underwayPosted Tuesday, May 1, 2012, at 1:30 PM
A local group put on a clinic a few weeks ago. Jeff Spencer came and did a short clinic, on how to 'start a colt' This year, there are a few kids who are starting their own horses, and were looking for some tips. Jeff lives in Emmet now, but is a local man, with family right here in Mountain Home. My daughter used to work for Jeff, riding colts.
This is the horse that is being 'started' by a young 4-H member.
This is not the kid that owns the horse, but he's going to give it it's first ride. He is the son of a local horsewoman, and has literally ridden all his life.
Getting the horse used to all kinds of things. Similar to photos I showed from the Legacy of Legends.
And he's up! No big deal, right? Great job. But seriously, if you've never done this, don't try it alone.
This is the above young boy's sister, and she too has been riding all her life. She has already put a few rides on this horse, and is doing a great job.
I told Jilly to go introduce herself to Jeff, and tell her that she is the niece of Katie, who was Jeff's adopted daughter. I love this photo.
Jeff Spencer came and did this little clinic voluntarily, for no charge, THAT is what 4-H is all about. If YOU have some free time, and would love to help children, with any project, there is a project to fit that! Call and do it...they'll appreciate it.
Every year, the great volunteers of 4-H Get together and do what we call a "Pre-Fair Clinic" It is to show the kids what they should be preparing for, and mostly to show first year kids a bit of what it will be like.
Thanks to everyone that came! It was cold and pretty bitter, but there were plenty of smiles all around.

I am interested in this Community, County, and the beautiful state of Idaho. Most of my photos will be in Idaho, but from time to time, they will be my vacations aay from Idaho. You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

Topic: [HELP] Starting a new Rails project
Hi there,
I'm intending to start a new new project from scratch and I wanted some advice on how to plan the beginning stages.
My project will be a simple website that is mostly static HTML, but has a few pages that display lists of products, these pages will be dynamic Rails pages, there will be CRUD pages to manage these product pages also.
There will also be a member authentication system, but that's about all that needs to be handled by Rails, ultimately I intend to subscribe to RESTful practices.
I've previously followed online tutorials for creating quick blogs and nice little tricks in Rails, but mostly they seem for sites that rely heavily on it's output.
Any advice on how to set things up to begin with would be really appreciated.

Wow, quite a write-up for that aracha. If it is too bitter, bring the temp down to normal sencha range and/or shorten the brew time. I would think if you lower the temp, you may have to increase the time... ?
I received the 3 Zairai offerings from Hojo, only tried the cheapest so far. It is interesting, floral, and smelling the brew right after steeping is quite floral ... but this is fleeting. Very interesting and different. Hojo says most people either love or hate his selections because they are not what is normally purchased and consumed.
I might have a small sample of one of the Jabuzan which is also Zairai.
Reading the different listings takes some time and concentration to fully understand what Hojo is inferring for all his selections ... there is no shortage of text.

text: No offense, but all this doesn't mean sh*t. Seriously, if Kishimoto cared for the logic of the real word so much, we wouldn't have fire spitting, water walking, (insert random ability here) ninjas in the first place. Plasma? Please... This is manga and accept that Kakashi is a badass drawn character who cut drawn lightning with his raikiri and that's all.

Record of Marriages
While many slave couples formed lasting bonds during their enslavement, slave marriages had no legal foundation or protection. The abolishment of slavery not only meant citizenship but the ability to have legally recognized marriages without fear of the loss of a spouse through sale. The Bureau helped facilitate and record marriages. The Freedmen's Bureau recorded these county marriages performed by D Maxwell, Clerk of the Court, for the quarter ending on September 30, 1865.

High-Wire Act
One of the oldest known maps of Havana hangs in the entry hall of a grand apartment on Paris's Left Bank. The map dates from 1723 and once belonged to Sir Thomas Phillipps, considered by many to be the greatest book collector of all time. Phillipps amassed some 40,000 volumes and 60,000 manuscripts, and coined the term vellomaniac to describe his fixation with vellum manuscripts. The term could just as easily apply to this home's owner. "It's an apartment made by a man who very much likes books," his close friend, the English antiques dealer Piers von Westenholz, says with understatement. "His home is really a series of libraries." Indeed, about the only place you won't find a bookcase is in the bathroom.
In the library of an apartment designed by Francois-Joseph Graf, in Paris's 7th arrondissement, the 18th-century desk is English, the armchair is from Westenholz Antiques, the ottomans are upholstered in kente cloth, and the desk lamp was made from a Ming vase; the Italian mirror dates to the early 1700s, the Japanese wood deity is from the Heian period, and the curtains are of a Ralph Lauren Home striped cotton.
Mexican casta paintings, depicting mixed-race families, flank an 18th-century gilt-wood mirror by Matthias Lock in the sitting room; the Chinese Chippendale chairs against the wall date from 1768, a custom-made ottoman serves as a cocktail table, and the rug is by Roger Oates.

The Yellow Pages are dead, or so we're told. With the new SuperGuarantee, the company backed the services of their advertisers and gave consumers a reason to keep and use the SuperYellowPages. As a result, the company saw the first increase in share of possession and usage in five years.

In short: Madness, but loved it!!!In full: It's like a big kids playground. Loved it and will be back next year!Date of review: October 12, 2010
In short: An enjoyable race will do it again, trying to get my mates to do it next year.In full: A good race but lost my Nike+ wont wear it next year. My only complaints are that the scramble net had boken bricks in it , dont mind the mud byt broken bricks!!, also naff directions to collect number and tag from not sign posted and alot of people travelled a great distance to do this race.Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: a good laugh, one to do with your matesDate of review: October 11, 2010
In short: 12k assualt courseIn full: 2nd year of taking part, this year I went for the earliest wave and was aiming to break an hour. Managed it by 90 seconds. Absolutely made up. That aside I did really enjoy the race. Really tough, great comradeship at the obstacles. When's next years event?Date of review: October 10, 2010
In short: Challenging race, harder than i thought. More like 11.5km too!Date of review: October 3, 2010
In short: Hard work but good fun! Bottlenecking at obstacles was the only downside.Date of review: October 3, 2010
In short: One of my FavouritesIn full: I was the unlucky guy in the first wave with the broken Fib and Tib. 2nd year doing the run and was pushing a great time this year. I unfortunately slipped on the little hills at Holme Pierrpont. Ironic having done the course before and finished the Tough Guy easily this year too.I like the race, it breaks up what can be a, dare I say, another boring flat 10K.The organisation was good again. I have even been contacted by the organisers while in hospital to check how I am doing etc.I will be back again next year once I can walk/run again and I will get a better time that my first year!Date of review: October 26, 2009
In short: Organised but a little more thought neededIn full: I was in the second wave and my race ended 200 meters from the start on the haybales which disintegraded under my foot and breaking by right ankle.Ok so these things happen and i'm not going to moan too much about it but while i was being seen to another obviously broken ankle was brought to be treated next to me from the same wave and then over the radio the paramedic was called away to treak a broken tib and fib! all before the third wave had startedmore thought into the obstacles next year?Oh and thanks to the guys that carried me back to the car, cheers fellas Date of review: October 19, 2009
In short: A fantastic 12K assult courseIn full: A cracking day , very friendly , well organised and a fun day out . If your looking for a respectful time though going in wave one or two is advised , as the obsticles created bottlenecks , but this just added to day. A must if only onceDate of review: October 14, 2009
In short: Muddy Brilliant!In full: A great race and well organised. 12km not the original advertised 12km but with queues at several obstacles (and we were in Wave 3) not going to ever be a PB but well worth waiting to do the full challenge. A real social event - lots of helping each other over the obstacles - and no help given to the very rare ultra competitive blokes who just barged past everyone being helped over the obstacles.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (95 votes).
In short: great first half marathon i did a bit tough around 11 miles.Date of review: January 6, 2008
In short: Good atmosphere, great course for first timers and speed merchantsDate of review: April 5, 2007
In short: my first 1/2 so a PB. Would have been dead chuffed with my time if it wasn't for Rumwell hillIn full: Start was too congested, but soon spread out. great crowds on the way round. from 10 miles on it was a chore- main road and hills. glad i didn't have to go round twice though. not sure what to do with my sponge. Apologies to the lady who I leapt in front of trying to retrieve the top of my water bottle at the 7 mile markDate of review: April 3, 2007
In short: An event of two halves...In full: In my second year of running and now completed quiet a few Half marathons, I love 'em!However, I am not one to complain and always like to praise but feel the need to do both.POSITIVES - Very nice course, has got PB potential and I only missed mine by 27 seconds!, lots of marshals on the course and the second best crowd along the way (the winner still being The Great West Run), but there were far more people along the course than many other greater populated races so this is full credit to the locals, SCAT as a venue is excellent, the course well thought out and nice to have a hill or two but Rumwell Hill robbed me of the vital seconds I needed to get my PB, loads of facilities at the start with take away food for spectators, red bull for the runners (free too!), bouyany man on the tanoy and thankfully chip timing which was requested alot following the feedback left after last year. I will be back.NEGATIVES - or more like area's of improvements as there is nothing here that can't be rectified. Bag store was a complete joke and very very very infurating 30 minutes before the start of the race and two people trying to put bags from six well stacked lines of runners anxiousley checking there watches was ludacrous and it took me 20 minutes yes 20 minutes to deposit my bag. i was at the event in plenty of time and lost anytime I had to warm up.The start was chaos with no room to get onto the road for the start. Yes with chip timing it doesn't matter but what is important here is that people were in the wrong time zones and soemone could easily of tripped over as there were people pushing to try and get in. There were a few mentions of the start having to be moved because of radio interference but it was in the little lay-by last year and it appears it was going to be moved from what was said at the start. Next year close a few lanes of the large main road and get big time zone signs so people can get in them. The above two factors were the worst i have ever seen and any karma before the race was lost by people dashing from the bag store and trying to squeeze into the start. if someone had of tripped at the start chaos would of been the insued. With so many marshalls and helpers why were there only two at the bag store for 2,000 runners potentially? Why was the start in such a small area? I and many others could be heard complaining and this should not be what people rememebr this otherwise superb race for. i am only mentioning it to help improvements next year.With these two main changes this race will be truly a great one and up there to rival The Great West Run which comes around next month.Nice medal and t-shirt and the weather was superb.See you next year!Date of review: April 3, 2007
In short: Superb event with an excellent atmosphereIn full: OK, so the start was a bit crowded - but with chip timing this didn't matter, and the roads in the first mile are wide enough to allow the field to stretch out without any slowing or congestion - no surprise that the first mile was almost my fastest, when it usually is the slowest. Brilliant scenery, nice undulating course with a great view towards the finish as you crest the top of Stonegallows hill. My timing chip was eaten by the Royal Mail sorting machines, but the race team were well on top with a replacement chip ready to pick up on the day - this is typical of the excellent organisation of this event. The locals were out in force - even right out in the sticks between Oake and Bradford. Super atmosphere. Definitely worth the 200 mile journey to Somerset.Date of review: April 3, 2007
In short: A couple of big hills but pretty good chance of a pbIn full: You've got to get energy drinks on this course, or somewhere to buy them at the start. I got caught out by this but still ran a PB, so just think how much quicker I could have gone with energy!! Great marshalls who had a difficult job at some of the road junctions. The marshalls at the drinks stations were very supportive. Had a problem finding the showers though perhaps a few more signs around SCAT would help. Well done though see you next year.Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: A race of two halfs!In full: First lap friendly and lots of spectators, second lap much quieter, where you need to dig in a bit. Sapping wind for the last few miles.I got a pb though!! This is my local race, and one I am pretty proud of. The organisation is good, the stewards friendly, and the helpers (my eldest daughter being one of them) were fantastic. Downsides - the start was a bit crowded but with timing chips this wasn't really an issue, and once over the line the flow was pretty good (unlike the Bristol half).No energy drinks. I take my own as I am aware of this, but other runners may not realise.Overall a good, fairly quick and very friendly race. Well done again, Taunton.Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: More undulating than flat; well marshalled; good support from localsIn full: Start was unnecessarily crowded, with half & full mara runners all bunched into a layby and funnelled thru a narrow start gate, when all this is right next to a wide main road that surely could be closed to traffic for a couple of hours on a Sunday? Starting pens were also invisible, so too many slower runners too near the front (no "power walkers" thankfully), but the wide roads helped with passing. Lots of gentle inclines & declines in the first 6m, then a 1m+ gradual descent from the Oake turn down to Bradford-on-Tone, where there's a nasty switch to a quick ascent thru the village (lots of great support here). Traffic is heavy on A38, and the ascent at Rumwell is deceptively longer and steeper then it looks; or at least it feels that way. Water stations (cups) well organised, but I have no idea what the sponge stations are for; organisers should drop these and use the volunteers to man the baggage store, which was under-resourced. Also can't see why anyone would want RedBull at the end of a race. Changing facilities very good with hot showers. All toilets are inside the college buildings, so expect long queues, even for gents. Good value, good atmos, lots of local charities with large teams in main events and fun runs. Not the best ever course for a PB, but a good run overall.Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: Very-well organised Half, with enough other entrants to give it a good vibeDate of review: April 1, 2007
In short: Nice day out!In full: A two lap event with a hill or two! The second lap can get lonely and can be a challenge. Excellent changing facilities, chip times, medal and t-shirt. Great finish and start area. Shame that there is only water for the fueling points. What happened to all the redbull? Did it get drunk by the half runners? And please move the burger van away from the finish point. The smell of greasy food at the finish is no good for the knackered runner!! No big moans, a good event and worth the money. Nice to have a hot shower at the end. +++++ Date of review: April 1, 2007

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to discuss critical national security issues facing the United States, including the New START Treaty, at the U.S. Capitol on November 17, 2010. After the meeting, Secretary Clinton, Committee Chairman Senator John Kerry, and ranking member Senator Richard Lugar held a press conference to discuss their talks.
Secretary Clinton said, "...We've had very encouraging discussions over the past months with a number of senators, in particular with a number of Republican senators who share our commitment to ensuring a robust nuclear modernization program. We will continue and intensify those discussions in the coming days, and we are heartened that there well may be a bipartisan consensus emerging on the need for such funding.
"Now recently some have suggested we should hit the pause button; that it is too difficult to do this treaty in a lame duck session. I strongly disagree. This is exactly what the American people expect us to do, to come together and do what is necessary to protect our country. We can and we must go forward now on the New START Treaty during the lame duck session. We have an opportunity to ratify this treaty and to lock in consensus on modernization funding.
"And perhaps most importantly, and I want to stress this because I'm not sure that everybody really understands that when the prior treaty expired we lost the ability to have inspectors on the ground. We need to get our inspectors back into Russia after a gap of nearly a year. As our intelligence and defense colleagues have repeatedly noted, we are much better off with New START than without it. Jim Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, said yesterday, the earlier, the sooner, the better. We need the stability, transparency, and predictability that New START will provide by giving us insight into Russia's strategic nuclear arsenal. That is a rationale that previous presidents and congresses of both the Republican and the Democratic Parties have repeatedly and overwhelmingly supported.
"This is also a treaty that is critical to our bilateral relationship with Russia. We have enhanced our cooperation to the benefit of our country on Iran, on Afghanistan, on nuclear nonproliferation, on counterterrorism, and on counternarcotics. That's why our entire military leadership, as well as six former secretaries of state, five former secretaries of defense, three former national security advisors, and seven former commanders of U.S. Strategic Command support this treaty and support it now. Now, we look forward to the Senate quickly completing its advice and consent process.
"And I want to stress how the American people want to see Republicans and Democrats working together on behalf of national security. That's why in 1991, under a Republican president, the Senate approved the START Treaty by a vote of 93 to 6. That's why in 2002, under a Republican president, the Senate approved the Moscow Treaty, which included no verification measures by 95 to nothing. I had the privilege of voting for that treaty. This treaty deserves the same overwhelming bipartisan support."
You can read the Secretary's complete remarks here.
Kricat in Maryland writes:
It is in our best interest to inspect the weapons that Russia maintains, as well as the security of these weapons. We cannot let up by allowing these weapons to get in the possession of those that are not deemed responsible. The transfer of these weapons would be irresponsible on our part, and our safety can only be ensured when we monitor their location.
While the reduction of nuclear arsenals will be beneficial for both the United States and Russia, we cannot lose the strong expectation of responsibility that we have maintained throughout the last 60 years.
While we are reliant on our own "triad†of artillery, we can only maintain the same safety standards for ourselves that we do for our partners.
By ratifying the New START treaty we will ensure the security of our nation and improve the standards of those around the world. I support and encourage Senator Lugar to continue his efforts to reduce nuclear arms. I also thank him for his contribution to this issue throughout the years.

And the UK announced yesterday a plan to reduce their defense plans by eight percent over the next four years, retiring its Harrier aircraft, elimin

Trump takes charge: Sworn in as nation's 45th president
Grain 'N Grape robbery case moves forward
ESCANABA – One of three suspects arrested in connection with a conspiracy to rob a convenience store in Wells Township last year was recently bound over to Delta County Circuit Court.
Abby Beth Johnson, 20, of Escanaba, will either make a plea or face a trial in circuit court on five felonies related to an alleged armed robbery on Aug. 3, 2012 at The Grain 'N Grape, 6998 U.S.2/41 & M-35.
Co-defendant and store clerk Annaelise Marie Ambrose, 22, of Escanaba, told police that around 10 p.m. that night, she was robbed at gunpoint by a masked man who demanded money and then fled the scene.
An intensive joint investigation by area police agencies led to the arrests of Ambrose, Johnson, and a third suspect, Cory Michael Vanderlinden, 26, of Gladstone.
The three were arrested on Feb. 7 after the Delta County Sheriff's Department received a tip on the above incident and other crimes. The tip was received in January through the Crimestoppers website at crimestoppersusa.com.
Johnson was bound over last week from district court to circuit court in connection with the alleged armed robbery as well as a separate case involving a larceny in Ford River Township, according to court records.
In regards to the alleged robbery, Johnson is charged with one count of larceny in a building and one count of conspiracy to commit larceny in a building, each four-year felonies. Cash bond is set at $100,000.
Johnson also faces three charges in an unrelated theft of a safe from a Ford River Township home in April 2012. These include: one count of safe breaking, a life felony; one count of larceny in a building, a four-year felony; and one count of larceny $1,000 to $2,000, a five-year felony. Cash bond is set at $100,000.
Ambrose faces the following three charges: larceny in a building, aid & abet; conspiracy to commit larceny in a building; and lying to a police officer during investigation of a violent crime. Each of the three charges carries a maximum punishment of four years in prison. Cash bond for Ambrose was set at $50,000.
Vanderlinden faces one count of accessory after the fact to a felony, a five-year felony. His cash bond is set at $50,000.
Both Ambrose and Vanderlinden have waived their right to have a preliminary examination in district court within 14 days. No hearings have yet been scheduled.
Johnson and Vanderlinden remain lodged in the Delta County Jail. Ambrose was released from police custody after posting $5,000, or 10 percent of a $50,000 cash bond.
