UF coach Alexander cards hole-in-one at Masters Par 3 event
Published: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 8:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 8:11 p.m.
University of Florida men's golf coach Buddy Alexander carded one of three hole-in-ones during the Master's Par 3 tournament on Tuesday at Augusta National.
Alexander, who played in the 1987 Masters in the same group as Jack Nicklaus, paired with former Gators Matt Every and Billy Horschel during the event. He aced the second hole at Augusta National, as did former Masters champion Mark O'Meara. Australian Matt Jones, a Masters rookie, also took one shot on No. 3.
Horschel (8:51 a.m.) and Every (9:02 a.m.) will be making their debuts at Augusta on Thursday.
Horschel qualified for the tournament by finishing tied for fourth at the 2013 U.S. Open and winning last year's Zurich Classic of New Orleans on a long birdie putt on the 18th green.
Every overcame a four-shot deficit to win this year's Arnold Palmer Invitational, his first career PGA victory, to make the Masters field.
Ryan Moore shot a 6-under 21 to win Tuesday's tournament. Since the contest began in 1960, no winner has gone on to win the green jacket that weekend.

The Miami Dolphins took the field for the first time in 2014 earlier tonight and they dropped preseason game #1 to the Atlanta Falcons, 16-10. While there was plenty of action, the big story of the evening was Ryan Tannehill and the first-team offense, who made the most of the one drive they had. In his first game action under new offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, Tannehill took the offense 73 yards on the game's opening possession, and hit wide receiver Brandon Gibson for a six yard touchdown on the 10th play of the drive. Along the way, the third year quarterback would complete all six of his passes, including a 36 yard strike to receiver Rishard Matthews.

WTF?! News: "I had sex with my cat and everyone knows" ...
Mugshot via Oklahoma City Police Dept.
After reading this story on Gawker, well, you will probably have the same reaction. According to the police report, Kristina Michelle Brown, 23, stood alongside her property's fence and angrily confronted her 72-year old neighbor, Elmer Morrison, yelling, "Come outside, I know you're in there. Do you want to die?" Brown was allegedly holding a small knife at the time.
No, wait, there is more. Kristina apparently had sex with her cat own cat and was upset about it. She was going ape on this poor man for no reason. He new of no such incident, but does now that she screamed it outside!! The fella did tell authorities that the girl usually looks "glassy eyed" alot and is seen hanging out in front of a local head shop.
Oklahoma City police officers charged Brown with assault and battery with a deadly weapon, a felony. She's being held in jail on $5,000 bail.

As has been noted by NewsBusters correspondents Brent Baker, Kyle Drennen, and Clay Waters, the Mainstream Media has mostly assumed an attitude of respectful awe towards Barack Obama's March 18 speech on race. That emotional awe towards Obama's speech has reached the level of mass weeping in the Leftwing blogosphere. The leftists profess to be so awestruck by that speech that it seems mass crying will soon replace the fainting attacks at future Obama appearances.
Confessions of drama queen tearful reactions to Obama's speech has reached comedic proportions on both the Democratic Underground and the Daily Kos. Although one suspects that these confessions of tearduct flooding at the sound of Obama's voice may be a bit contrived, it doesn't detract from the hilarity of the comments. First a sampling of weeping confessions from the Democratic Underground:
If you didn't cry, someone needs to check your pulse. It was a speech that christens an era.
i started to tear up while reading the text on my phone at a restaurant. i had to stop reading it.
I called in sick so I could watch it. I was seen crying in my recliner. My tough husband--who didn't cry when his father died--came home from work and blubbered like a baby.
He's too good for us
Not to be outdone by the DUers, the denizens of the Daily Kos confessed to their own mass weepings:
I wept while reading Obama's speech. Then I wept again while watching it. I have teared up again and again reading the many personal accounts of how Obama's words have caused change and healing.
Barack Obama...has made this grown man cry more times than I care to admit.
I haven't stopped crying since the speech. Off and on, all day, in the car, at the sink, at the desk....I just break out in tears.
I cried, like everyone else, but the chills came first.
You can read a more complete collection of these teardrop confessions at the DUmmie FUnnies here and here. One fringe benefit of the left trying to convince themselves of the supposed profundity of Obama's speech by making public avowals of uncontrollable weeping is that it has inspired a terrific song parody by the DUmmie FUnnies co-host, Charles Henrickson, who wrote "The Lib'ral White Crowd That Cried" to the tune of Johnny Ray's The Little White Cloud That Cried:
I was thinking, "Down goes Obama"
Feeling Barry's sure to slide
When all at once I saw, filled with drama
The lib'ral white crowd that cried
They told me they believe what he preaches
And no one cares what he tries to hide
They said sometimes just warm fuzzy speeches
Make all the lib'ral crowds cry
They said Barack will solve all our issues
Heal our souls, still all our fears
Don't ask how, just pass us the tissues
Our eyeballs flow with tears
They asked me why the rest of the voters
Don't believe, their eyeballs are dry
That's how I know that come this November
The lib'ral white crowd will sit right down and cry

EWWNP means Exploring Wild and Wonderful Number Patterns Created by Yourself! Investigate what happens if we create number patterns using some simple rules.
Find a great variety of ways of asking questions which make 8.
If you had any number of ordinary dice, what are the possible ways
of making their totals 6? What would the product of the dice be
each time?
Thanks to all of you who sent in a solution.
We can't show them all here, but here are a few examples of
different ways that you approached the problem.
Lizzie from Belmont Primary noticed that the
sequences of numbers increased by the same number each time, and
used this to work out her answers.
Roberta explains her thinking very
You times the two numbers together to find the number of blue
circles and then you take away one from each of the numbers and
times them together to find the number of red circles.
Andrew, Shatin College, Hong Kong explains his
solution with more examples:
In this puzzle, 2 by 2 results in 5 and 4 by 4 would result in
25 (16 + 9).
You can work this out by multiplying the two numbers together
and then you get part of the answer. The other half can be worked
out by taking 1 from each of the two numbers and then multiplying
them together. Then add the two numbers and you get the answer.
2 by 10 would have 29 (2 times 10 add 1 times 9), 3 by 10 would
be 48 since 3 times 10 add 2 times 9, 10 by 10 would be 181 (10
squared add 9 squared).
If you use this formula you can work out anything. For Example:
100 by 100. 100 squared is 10000. then 90 squared is 8100 add it
together and you get the answer 18100.
Quite a few of you used algebra to explain
your thinking. Here is the solution from Michael of St Joseph's RC

Mormon Channel
Sorry, Grim Reaper -- Families Are Forever
Death shall not destroy my comfort,
Christ shall guide me thro' the gloom;
Down He'll send some heav'nly convoy,
To escort my spirit home.
-American Folk Hymn
Early America was besieged with death. Infant mortality rates, deadly diseases, deadly weather, childbirth complications, and a host of other aggravations placed death at the doorstep for nearly every family at an alarming rate. For comfort, many turned to religion to create a culture in which dying could be better understood. It should make sense, then, that Mormonism, America's home-grown religion, offers a prime example of how antebellum Americans dealt with, reimagined, and alleviated the fear of death.
With In Heaven as It is on Earth: Joseph Smith and the Early Mormon Conquest of Death, critical care physician and assistant professor of medicine Samuel Brown presents early Mormons as "assiduous students of death" who sought to combat and overcome the threat of the grave and did so in remarkable ways. But beyond persuasively demonstrating the prominent role of death in Joseph Smith's thought, Brown argues that death culture is a potent organizational theme in which to understand early Mormon culture as a whole.
Because the term "death conquest" is central to this book's argument, it is important to capture Brown's own definition:
[Mormonism's "death conquest" is] a set of approaches to the meaning of life, a framing of aspirations for the afterlife, and controversies about the security or stability of salvation, as expressed in human struggles with mortality. When and under what circumstances life ends, how much of earthly experience will persist, and what constitutes preparation for death are problems that can be distinguished from the question of salvation per se. Framing Mormonism as an attempted conquest of death illuminates its theology and enriches the texture of the lived experience of believers.
The study of early Mormonism's response to death, then, is more than just a history of ideas. Instead, it is a microcosmic examination of Mormon life and culture in general, for it intersects with numerous tensions and issues within LDS history. Indeed, it is surprising how many disparate topics that have long interested historians—treasure seeking, seer stones, relics, temple ordinances, and polygamy, to name a few—are seamlessly weaved together into an overarching web of "death culture." Taken at its word, this book contains many lessons for numerous facets of Mormon history.
Because this "death culture" never takes place in a vacuum, In Heaven as It is on Earth spends a great deal of time on context. Throughout the book, Brown is expertly attuned to the contemporary culture that Mormonism both developed from and reacted against, noting how "Americans possessed a remarkably robust death culture with roots stretching from medieval Christianity through early modern England into the colonial churches and antebellum evangelicalism." Though Brown too rarely uses the example of Mormonism to make broader claims on American culture, instead mostly relying on the larger culture to illuminate Joseph Smith's thought, he is to be commended for his exposure to and incorporation of the dynamic and diverse religious life during the period. This sophisticated and nuanced contextualization is the hallmark of the new generation of Mormon Studies, and is on proud display in this particular volume.
Benjamin E. Park has a bachelor's degree in history and literature from Brigham Young University, a master's degree in historical theology from the University of Edinburgh, and is currently a graduate student in political thought and intellectual history at Cambridge University. He blogs on Mormon history at Juvenile Instructor

Yet another piece of timeless design from Louis Vuitton, the Labels Key Ring is an elegant key holder. Its design was inspired by the hotel and cruise ship luggage stickers collected by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in a bygone era. While the Label comes in three different designs, each bears the Louis Vuitton signature, LV monogram and store addresses. In crafting this key ring, the natural cowhide leather label undergoes an exclusive LV process of serigraphy on leather (that's silkscreen printing to me and you).
The latest colorways at Louis Vuitton are: Rusty, Burgundy and Monogram at $200 each retail.

Giveaway (US/Int): Author Jane Kindred on the delicate balance between darkness and light
Please help me welcome Jane Kindred, author of The Fallen Queen, to GT today!
I've been told by some that I write dark fantasy; on occasion, someone will tell me it's too dark for them. Others tell me my fantasy isn't quite dark enough to qualify, my dark characters not quite "other" enough—I received a rejection, once upon a time, from an agent who loved the story but was disappointed that my demons weren't monsters.
I suppose, like me, my characters are constantly straddling this elusive middle ground between dark and light, good and evil, naughty and nice. I've always thought a person needed a good dose of both ends of the spectrum to be healthy. It's one of the reasons my own blog title is "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell"—metaphorically, it's the place I feel most comfortable—somewhere in the grey.
Writing fantasy with romantic elements poses additional challenges. Fantasy purists often balk at a love story, but I think even the darkest of stories have love at the heart, and a fantasy world without any romance at all strikes me as an incomplete one. Readers more used to romance, on the other hand, can feel a little overwhelmed by the necessary world-building in fantasy. Writing romantic fantasy becomes like a recipe, adding a little of this, but not too much; a dash of that, without overwhelming the palate.
With the romantic element, there's also the added responsibility of not letting your readers down when it comes to the "HEA"—the requisite happily-ever-after. My endings, predictably, straddle the fence. And while it may seem contradictory, I actually have a personal requirement of happy endings. There's enough misery in life—and more than enough misery that I put my characters through along the way—that I prefer my fiction to tip the balance toward happiness in the end.
That might come as a surprise to people who read my fantasy looking for a traditional HEA in the romantic sense, because it may not be the one you're expecting, but for me, it's definitely there, and I hope my readers agree. Though I do like to leave a little something for the characters to yearn for, particularly if it's a series. Each book opens little packages of surprises, but they don't all come at once.
Ultimately, I like turning the expected on its head. My hero may not always be the person you thought it would be, and the villain may turn out to be something more than you assumed. I write about angels and demons, but you may be surprised by the direction that takes. I've never quite bought into the black and white qualities traditionally ascribed to angels and their fallen counterparts. Lucifer, after all, is described as the Angel of Light—how did he get to be the ultimate in darkness? Sometimes it's just a matter of perception.
|Heaven can go to hell.
Until her cousin slaughtered the supernal family, Anazakia's father ruled the Heavens, governing noble Host and Fallen peasants alike. Now Anazakia is the last grand duchess of the House of Arkhangel'sk, and all she wants is to stay alive.
Hunted by Seraph assassins, Anazakia flees Heaven with two Fallen thieves—fire demon Vasily and air demon Belphagor, each with their own nefarious agenda—who hide her in the world of Man. The line between vice and virtue soon blurs, and when Belphagor is imprisoned, the unexpected passion of Vasily warms her through the Russian winter.
Heaven seems a distant dream, but when Anazakia learns the truth behind the celestial coup, she will have to return to fight for the throne—even if it means saving the man who murdered everyone she loved.

Jane Kindred began writing fantasy at age 12 in the wayback of a Plymouth Fury—which, as far as she recalls, never killed anyone…who didn't have it coming.
She spent her formative years ruining her eyes reading romance novels in the Tucson sun and watching Star Trek marathons in the dark. Although she was repeatedly urged to learn a marketable skill, she received a B.A. in Creative Writing anyway from the University of Arizona.
|She now writes to the sound of San Francisco foghorns while two cats slowly but surely edge her off the side of the bed.

The Government of Canada updates the Criminal Code list of terrorist entities to include the Islamic State
September 24, 2014 Ottawa, Ontario Public Safety Canada
The Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, today announced that the Government of Canada has updated the Criminal Code list of terrorist entities to include the Islamic State, which was formerly listed as Al Qaida in Iraq.
The Islamic State is a Sunni jihadist group that seeks to establish a single, transnational Islamic state based on sharia law.
Also commonly known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), this organization was already listed as a terrorist entity in Canada in August, 2012, under the name of Al Qaida in Iraq. Its most prominent attacks have been suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices, improvised explosive devices, armed attacks, hostage takings and beheadings.
The despicable actions of the Islamic State meet the legal threshold set out in the Criminal Code, which requires the existence of reasonable grounds to believe that an entity has knowingly participated in or facilitated a terrorist activity or is knowingly acting on behalf of, at the direction of, or in association with such an entity. This change to the Criminal Code demonstrates the Government of Canada's commitment to ensuring that the list reflects the evolving nature of terrorist entities.
The Criminal Code outlines severe penalties for persons and organizations that deal in the property or finances of a listed entity. In addition, it is a crime to knowingly participate in, or contribute to, any activity of a listed entity for the purpose of enhancing the ability of the entity to facilitate or carry out a terrorist activity. This offence and related offences are set out, in full, in the Criminal Code.
Quick Facts
- The listing process requires extensive analysis of intelligence and/or criminal information.
- The Islamic State was originally created in Jordan in the early 1990s under the name Bayat al Imam. The group associated with Al Qaida Core's senior leadership in 1999 and fought alongside Al Qaida Core and the Taliban during the US strikes in Afghanistan in late 2001.
- The group transferred to Iraq in anticipation of the US led invasion in Afghanistan, and, in October 2004, formally renamed itself "Al Qaida in Iraq" (). In 2013, the group renamed itself the "Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL) and also operated under the name of "Islamic State in Iraq and Syria" (ISIS). In June 2014, the group renamed itself "Islamic State."
"The barbaric actions of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have resulted in the deaths and displacement of innocent civilians across the region and causing a global security concern. Our Government will continue to take strong action against this despicable organization. Whatever name they may take on, their actions will not be tolerated. The full force of Canadian law will be applied to any Canadian who supports or engages in activities for this group."
–Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

Wake Up With Whoopi made its debut today on WKTU/New York before launching nationally on August 14. Day one of the program found the celebrity turned deejay getting an introduction to prank calls from the competition. At least three different calls from the "Pests" of XM Satellite Radio's Opie & Anthony program made their way on air, dropping references to the duo's program in the process.
Upon finding out that the callers were from the O&A program, Whoopi said, "There are other folks out there, some of them are good and some of them are not. We are no threat to anybody. We just doing a show that we want to be doing. Howard [Stern] understands that. That's my friend. These other people, they're not worth the dust Howard walks on." After another "Pest" made it through, Whoopi warned, "Know that we're going to screen better."
Meanwhile, the Opie & Anthony program continues to spread across terrestrial radio with WCKG/Chicago the latest addition. Expansion will also reach KIFR/San Francisco, where the O&A program will air from 10am-1pm. Both stations start broadcasting the program tomorrow (8/1).
"The Opie & Anthony enterprise brings a full arsenal of weapons to the Chicago morning battle field," said CBS Radio Chicago SVP and Market Manager Rod Zimmerman. "With O&A in the anchor position leading off the day, coupled with Radio Hall of Fame nominee Steve Dahl in the afternoon and market veterans Stan Lawrence and Terry Armour handling middays, WCKGs unmatched and entertaining lineup will be a force in Chicago."
The expansion to WCKG comes at the expense of Rover's Morning Glory, which moves back to Cleveland and will call WXRK its flagship station. The station had previously been the flagship of Rovers syndicated show from 2003 through January of this year.
"K-Rock will once again be a great home base for the show," says Rover. "We have a great working relationship with management there they really understand the show. Weve enjoyed our time in Chicago, but the station just wasnt a good fit for us. Thats not an indictment against them, its just that theyre skewed to a much older audience than what we target. We were also concerned that they wanted to focus exclusively on Chicago, which was detrimental to our affiliates. It was a mutual decision, and there is no ill-will between us whatsoever."
"Were excited to have Rover back in the building," said WXRK VP/GM Tom Herschel. "Rover has consistently been number one even while based outside Cleveland, and I anticipate this move will deliver an even larger audience if thats possible!"
Along with WXRK, Rover's Morning Glory will continue to be heard on WKRK/Detroit, KPNT/St. Louis, WAQZ/Cincinnati, WAZU/Columbus, WMFS/Memphis, WZNE/Rochester, and WPXY/Cape Cod.

War crimes evidence in Syria solid enough for indictment: U.N.
By Stephanie Nebehay
GENEVA (Reuters) - U.N. investigators said on Tuesday they had expanded their list of suspected war criminals from both sides in Syria's civil war and the evidence was solid enough to prepare any indictment.
The U.N. inquiry has identified individuals, military units and security agencies as well as insurgent groups suspected of committing abuses such as torture and bombing civilian areas, it said in its report to the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Some 20 investigators have carried out 2,700 interviews with victims, witnesses and defectors in the region and by Skype in Syria, but have never been allowed to enter the country now in its fourth year of an increasingly sectarian conflict.
However, despite the accumulation of evidence, diplomats say it is unlikely Syria would be referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) that tries war crimes suspects in The Hague any time soon.
As Syria has not signed the Rome statutes setting up the ICC, the U.N. Security Council would need to make the referral. Russia, supported by China, has shielded its ally Syria throughout the war, vetoing three U.N. resolutions that would have condemned President Bashar al-Assad's government and threatened it with possible sanctions.
"We do not lack information on crimes or even on perpetrators. What we lack is a means by which to achieve justice and accountability but this is not in our powers," Paulo Pinheiro, the chairman of the U.N. commission of inquiry on Syria, told a news conference.
The commission said the period of January 20 to March 10 was characterized by escalating hostilities between insurgent groups throughout northern and northeastern provinces as Islamist rebel strongholds came under attack.
Government forces have dropped barrel bombs on Aleppo and other cities, causing extensive civilian casualties in areas with no clear military target, and severely tortured detainees. Continued...


text: I am trying to figure out where to start looking. My '95 GMC Suburban will only shut the hot air off when it is cold enough outside to trigger it, my guess is that the heat is making something too hot for it to flip to cool air. Right now it doesn't matter whether the temp control is on red or blue, it is always hot. Also the lower heat will only shut off if you run the controls on face level and flip the speed to on. When it is cold outside you can hear the lower flip shut when you change the location. I am making a guess that the actuator is bad that controls the lower center vents / air distributor. Anyone have any idea though why I cannot get the heat too change to cool air? At this point if the A/C is working it can't get through the hot air. Many thanks!!

Time is a questionable matter for Vladimir and Estragon, too, but they have certainly spent a lot of it together, and Delamater and Mason give them marvelous timing and rapport. They bicker, bristle, and lash out at each other while also conveying their fundamental affection. As Vladimir, more the philosopher, Delamater does a gorgeous job balancing the comic with the fraught — Vladimir's profound desperation to have something to do, to be remembered, to keep his appointment. That is to say, to exist, in any meaningful way. When a Boy comes a second day in a row to say that Godot will not be coming today but tomorrow (Speckman, again, in mental-institutional scrubs and carrying a clipboard, an innovation whose literalness I found a little jarring), Vladimir asks him to give Godot a message: "Tell him you saw me and that . . . that you saw me." And in Delamater's next lines, the sudden violence of Vladimir's anguish is breathtaking: "You did see me, didn't you? You won't come again tomorrow and say you never saw me?"
Fenix's production finds both the ache and the guffaw of this masterwork, which with such compassion and good humor acknowledges that the human comedy is a tragic one.

Does anyone know of a source for researching city/county level law in MI regarding knife carry in MI? Packing.org only cites state law. Despite popular opinion, the state does not prohibit the carrying of folding knives with blades over 3" FOR LAWFUL PURPOSES, but I'm quite certain that many cities do.
The keys to winning a gunfight are first to bring a gun and secondly to take your time, quickly.
Always remember that if your opponent is within range, so are you.
I've searched for this more than a couple of times, but have not found anything comprehensive. If you find something, let me know, eh.
When the messenger arrives and says 'Don't shoot the messenger,' it's a good idea to be prepared to shoot the messenger, just in case.
The following is not a substitute for, nor does it constitute, legal advice. I am not a lawyer....yet.
I don't mean to sound like a know it all *******, but you're wrong about the state limit, and I'd rather sound like a jerk than have you arrested.
You are correct that the law does state that it is a ban against knives with a blade over 3 inches with "unlawful intent." However, a separate statue prohibits concealed carry of "dangerous Weapons" which is defined as a knife over 3 inches. Therefore a folding knife over three inches would be considered a violation of this statute.
Complicated, I know, that's why we have lawyers. :-/
In case you were interested:
Fixed Knives: Yes for both open and concealed. No length Restriction
Dirks: too complicated, just don't bother
Auto: no for both. Auto may include assisted open
Balisongs: no for both
If you want specific city/county ordinances you can look those up fairly easily. But as far as I know there is no comprehensive list that exists.
750.226 specifically covers intent regarding any dangeous weapon; "Any person who, with intent to use the same unlawfully against the person of another, goes armed with a pistol or other firearm or dagger, dirk, razor, stiletto, or knife having a blade over 3 inches in length, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument..."
Michigan law 380.1313 refers to a knife over 3" as a dangerous weapon in the context of a school, and when possessed by a student (juvenile).
Several other laws pertaining to juveniles refer to "a knife or other object specifically designed or customarily carried or possessed for use as a weapon."
The Home Invasion Law 750.110a says "A knife, stabbing instrument, brass knuckles, blackjack, club, or other object specifically designed or customarily carried or possessed for use as a weapon." The length of the blade is not specified, it is the intent of the knife designer and the user that makes it a dangerous weapon.
750.227 concerns concealed weapons, but does not mention blade length at all: "A person shall not carry a dagger, dirk, stiletto, a double-edged nonfolding stabbing instrument of any length, or any other dangerous weapon, except a hunting knife adapted and carried as such, concealed on or about his or her person, or whether concealed or otherwise in any vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in his or her dwelling house, place of business or on other land possessed by the person."
750.226a covers automatic knives: "any knife having the appearance of a pocket knife, the blade or blades of which can be opened by the flick of a button, pressure on a handle or other mechanical contrivance..." This does not include knives such as the Kershaw which requires that the blade itself be manipulated in order to open the knife for use. Kershaw was off the market in Michigan until a criminal case was decided in favor of one of their customers.
These are the applicable state laws; local laws vary from complete restriction, to no restriction.
The state of Michigan considers any edged device, regardless of blade length, that is carried or used with the intent to harm someone, to be a dangeorus weapon. It considers knives designed to be used as stabbing instruments, to be dangerous weapons whether the possessor intends to stab someone or not.
On the other hand, an edged device that is designed for some legitimate peaceful purpose (such as a hunting knife), can be much longer than 3" as long as the intent of the possessor is non violent.
The main problem with Michigan law is that there is no preemption law regarding knives, as there is for firearms; this allows a person to be legal on on side of a street, and illegal on the opposite side of the street, without knowing that a crime is being committed.

Neil Young And The Oilsands: Rocker To Play Benefit Concerts For Alberta First Nations' Oilsands Fight
Music legend Neil Young is playing four concerts in his native Canada to benefit a northern Alberta aboriginal band fighting oilsands development in its territory.
Canadian jazz singer and pianist Diana Krall is to appear as a special guest.
Tickets for the January shows scheduled for Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina and Calgary go on sale Tuesday.
"The theme of the concerts is honour the treaties," said Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation spokeswoman Eriel Deranger.
"All the ticket sales, all the proceeds from the concerts, not a single cent goes to anyone other than (the First Nation)."
Young made his opinion of oilsands development clear when he visited the band and the region last fall. He compared the sight of massive open-pit mines to Hiroshima after the nuclear bomb blast.

The animal featured on the cover of !%@:: A Directory of Electronic Mail Addressing & Networks is the hare. A small grazing mammal, hares are generally larger than rabbits, have longer ears, softer fur, and longer, more powerful hindlegs. When chased, hares rely on speed and sudden changes in direction (called "jinking") to elude pursuers. Wide-set eyes give them a wide angle of vision. Primarily nocturnal, they can scent enemies, thump the ground with a hindleg when alarmed, and, in turn, sense the nearby thumping of other startled hares.Hares occupy open country, and are mainly solitary except during breeding season. The pre-mating antics of the males include bucking, bounding, kicking, and standing on hindlegs to box with one another; thus the saying, "Mad as a March hare." These boisterous exercises can sometimes include a dozen or more participants. The hare's acknowledged reproductive prowess helps compensate for its high rate of predation.

From reading the posts o this forum for the past couple of weeks now. I feel that most people do not comprehend the disastrous effect a monetary collapse would have on a nation or world of people. Worrying about how much you would need to ride it out is ludicrous for the bottom 80% of people.
Not feeling it
Every country that has had a significant collapse has ridden it out. I agree that this time it could be global and this could cause other issues, but I don't think I see excatly what you mean. Explain please? Are you operating on the whole collapse of civilization scenario? I don't thikn a monetary collpase alone would cause that.
I would also like to see an explaination as well. I'm just wondering how long everyone would have to be able to sustain through a situation where an economic collapase happens and riding it out. 3, 6, 8, 12 months?
No one can give you an exact figure as to how long to prepare for, as things will probably be different in different locations - both in the USA and world-wide. Understand that by SHTF I can mean peak oil causing long-term, stair-stepping down into lower standards of living--MUCH lower--or a sudden event such as a global currency crash, a pandemic, or even a meteor strike or a localized EMP. Examples:
SHTF in Arizona vs. Maine? Different neighbors, different climate challenges.
SHTF in South Africa vs. Japan? One is pretty much race homogenous, the other deeply racially divided still.
SHTF in the Australian outback as opposed to Hong Kong? Population density comes into play.
In some sort of sudden onset catastrophe, similar to the last bits of water multiplying and filling the stadium in Dr. Martenson's example, my underststaning is that there is probably a bit of time (36 hours) to get out of Dodge with your bugout bag to a secure, low-population location. If you cannot do that or are in your bugout location already, how long things are dicey will depend on a number of factors. Are you near (or in) a high-population density area? Are you part of a real community? Does your area have access to water? Can you grow food in that climate, and is there arable land that has not been paved over or devloped? Is there a reason for your area to be raided and a nearby source of raiders? Can you defend yourself from the raiders, if they come? (Part of the reason I moved to a not-too-densely inhabited part of the South is arable land, lots of farms, and an extremely armed populace that is coopertive and incredibly kind to their neighbors. I think we will pull togther, overall.)
At any rate, I believe that hunkering down and waiting for the insanity that will occur when people realize that there will not be food deliveries, medicines, clean water or electricty--or law enforcement--could take a while. Preparing for that is the easy part. But then comes afterward. Once the catastrophe is over, that is when the new normal really takes ahold for the survivors, I'm afraid that what are now "alternative, or old-fashioned means" of getting our needs met will be mosly all there is.
I am not sure how to prepare for a planetoid collision. I am trying to prepare for a financial collapse. My guess, and it is a guess, is in America we will grind down slowly for a few more years - 1 or 2. Along that path there will be "events" that will shake things up. But they will pass and the slow grind down will continue. At some point along that road some event will occur that will be the tipping point. The tipping point may well be some event that results in the majority of the population deciding that the government is not going to be able to save them. At that point things will happen fast. A fairly large percentage of people will be totally unprepared. These people, especially those who currently depend on the government for food and housing, are going to become very angry and desperate. That is when the craziness will start. The military will be mobilized to control the population. I don't think the craziness will go on for a long time - maybe a year maybe 6 months maybe 2 months. By then we will have devised a new system (one way or another) and be in the process of implementing it.
If you currently live in a city you need to prepare for an escape and a place to escape to. Large complex logistics systems enable cities to operate. If the logistic system become impaired by even 25% people will start getting crazy in cities. You are going to need to have enough fuel for a vehicle (with sta-bil in it and rotate it every few months) to escape and a reliable vehicle - preferably a 4 wheel drive. You will need one or more weapons in case people along the way decide they want your vehicle. The place you are going to escape to needs to be stocked and ready. I know it sounds like a doomsday gig but it is what it is.
I understand how you feel. Stage 5 I think. It gets better.
The Six Stages of Awareness - Oct 8, 2008 ... - Chris Martenson
Since we have no way of knowing if or when 'something' will happen to change our way of life, I asked myself these questions:
1. How long will I be able to eat and provide meals for my family if grocery stores are closed?
2. How long will I have water to drink if the faucet does not work?
3. If there is no electricity, how will I cook, bathe, keep my family warm or cool?
4. If one of us gets ill, do I have the necessities or skill to care for them?
5. If the banks & atms close, how much cash can I afford to keep at home? How will I pay my bills?
6. If hoards of gangs are a possibiliy, how am I going to protect my family & property?
If you think about ways to help yourself to be completely self-sustainable, depending on your location, your financial situation, etc. that will help guide you to action.
I started out (about a year ago) by buying a few extra canned goods/water jugs every time I went to the grocery store. Now I have nice little stash.
As far as thinking about the collapse of the financial system, instead of hoarding cash, I like the idea taking that cash and investing it in a little silver or gold. I've taken what little I had left in my 401k, cashed it out, took the penalty hit, bought some silver and gold - and I am really happy with that decision.
The more you are able to provide the basic necessities for yourself and your family...the less cash on hand you will need if/when the shtf. imho I've worked really hard to pay off any debts and taken 'baby steps' on my preps. I have much to do still, but I do what I can when I can.
Whether someone falls in the 80% or 20%, you can still be prepared if you choose. The difference is taking baby steps to prep or going all in if you have a bunch of dollars. It would be nice to go all in, but, me, I am taking baby steps And it's coming along quite nicely!
What about point six?
None of the points were elaborated on too much, but it looks like she's considered it.
Quite frankly, if you want to plan for violent gangs on your own, or amongst just your family, read "The Road".
That's how you'll be living.
If you can't count on community or a extended family/crew - you'll be in some serious problems.
I have read The Road! Scary stuff!
Plus, I have spent much time here.... http://www.peakprosperity.com/forum/definitive-firearms-thread/12654
I thought I would keep it simple since many of the details Chris has provided as a guideline in the the What Should I Do? area. Generally, if everyone can ask themselves some basic questions, much of what they are concerned about will work out when those questions are answered. Since everyone's situations are different, what I may need to do most likely is different for someone else...as safewrite noted in her post.
Christmas this year will consist of a little iron & ammo...plus a chl class and lots of practice, of course!
Riding out is not an option anymore. Another year or two is not going to make the national debt disappear. It is going to take alot more than just reducing it. It must be totally eliminated and replaced with an interest free monetary system tht is handled by the congress according to the original intent of the constitution. Anything else is just a bandaid solution. It just kicks the can down the road.
Theres nothing wrong with capitalism. In fact, its the best system that functions in the real world. Its a fractional reserve, credit based economy with no underpinning (gold standard, silver standard - whatever) that produces what we have now. But it doesn't matter - this baby will lock up, make chapter 56 in a history book someday as kids read it and wonder how retarded our current society was....as they blissfully ignore likely the same or near similar issues facing their generation. Riding it out - living - is your only option. You say that prepping for the bottom 80% is useless, thats nonsense but correct also (imho) in that most likely the trouble I expect will come from that same demographic. After all, many are living a life most of us would consider to be vaguely similar to what we are prepping for. They know beatings, violence, hunger, reward/punishment - its like a "gang starter kit". Just add opportunity - and Ben's doing his best. I think there are just too many scenarios and situations to consider. We all post from our view and speculate on another or two. I mean, in a dynamic like this, how do you factor in the likely possibility of a middle eastern nuclear event, a nut in North Korea (and the white house), rare earth minerals, climatic events, hyperinflation, wars, famine, etc., etc. - I can't, you can't. But to suggest that not even trying is a solution....but you didn't, did you? So what do you suggest for the "bottom 80%" like me. Cause I'll take 1000 rounds of ammo over some Apple Igadget anyday. What do you think?
The steps you are taking are well calculated but do not take into account desperate people looting and robbing those who will have.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you seem to have already concluded what the future holds. With all due respect, that is simply not possibile.
But, if you think roving gangs are a foregone conclusion, I would offer up "Lights Out" by halffast. In it, you will find the answer to mutant zombie bikers... strong community.
Perhaps ridding yourself of all this fear will help you see your options more clearly. Easier said than done, I know, but worth the effort all the same.
Man, the condescention is really not appreciated.
Just because no one is willing to share the details of their plans with you doesn't mean no one is doing anything.
So, are you just mad because no one is "agreeing" with you? Because if so, I suggest you look at your browser and take note of the website you're on. CM.com.
I think almost all of us agree with you.
As to your proposal, I propose we build a perpetual motion machine, take a rocketship to distant planets and learn to live in balance with our ecosystems. Proposals are not actionable plans, and even if you have actionable plans, you're fighting cultural persistence and momentum that won't allow things to just turn on a dime.
Albert Einstein said a lot of stuff that was pretty stupid.
Typecasting the entire rest of the planet as a bunch of idiots is one of them.
Smart people are not exempt from decency, and I'd rebut with Geothe;
"Treat a man as he is, he will remain so. Treat a man the way he can be and ought to be, and he will become as he can be and should be."
If Einstein had wisdom, in addition to intelligence, he perhaps could have made more of an impact in this way.
Many here are no longer planning because they've already made tremendous strides and are now comfortable with their level of sustainability, or at a minimum are no longer concerning themselves with things that are, in my estimation, beyond repair.
Like I said I do not see any posting suggesting real solutions to the real problems. If a bucket of water has a hole that is leaking water and no one fixes it, it will run dry. Not rocket science people. Simple natural intelligence.
What you seem to be unable or unwilling to grasp is the difference between a problem and a predicament.
Good luck with all that pent up anger. I hope it treats you much better than most other people of simple intelligence. You seem to think that only you have a clear vision and an answer, yet with the way you approach it, you are on your own. Seems to me all this bluster is about as effective at real change as OWS.
Find a way to deal with the anger, then we can talk about potential action items like adults.
There are more than a few that did not fare so well on the anger stage and are no longer on this blog site . Not sure they can even come back and read what others post because they had not control over their emotional tongue . Feeling are hurt and trust and bond is broken . It might help you to go back and see the major blow ups.. maybe ?
We do seem to go over and over the same things time and time again . Someone will have a lightbulb moment and others are not ready to hear it or shoot it down with why it would never work . Many talk but not do . Some see things as a solution others come from another direction .
There are things we can not control and things we can . Start with yourself . Move to your innercircle of family and friends . Then move on to community . You can not skip ahead in the plans or the foundation is not there . Live buy example .. as more lessons are caught than taught .
Be aware that the frustrations come in waves .. you will be excited that your preps are coming along when something comes together as planned the panic when the next step fails .
I hope you have a more peaceful day . Not everyone will make it . You can not save everyone you can only hope to be one ready to start over when the dust settles . IMHO
IMHO , is all any of us have here really .
Fiat monetary system caused this problem and fractional reserve banking compounded it, but no one so far on this forum has showed any agreement with me. I propose abolishing the federal reserve and changing how banks handle creating money through fractional reserve banking.
Read the friendly archives. I suggest starting with the posts of DrKirbyLuv and proceeding from there. The issue of the Fed, fractional reserve banking, etc., has been addressed to the nth degree. What you take for stupidity is simply disinterest in rehashing a subject area that has been hashed to the max. We've been there and done that.
FWIW, I've flagged your post.
You're being argumentative, confrontational, IGNORING good advice (eg - Search function) and you're not responding to dialog.
If you have a purpose other than just trolling, I hope you get to it soon.
People here are being more than civil.
To answer your question - There IS NO SOLUTION.
The solution is community, individual/family resilience and preparation.
It appears that way to me as well, No Fiat. What exactly do you want, or expect, to get from those who are answering you? Other users are offering you what they have to offer. If you have constructive suggestions for something concrete that people should do right now, I'm sure the community will be all ears.

I want the people to understand that the Federal Reserve System started the ball rolling on a destructive path for the monetary system this nation had which was a true supply and demand system. They also must understand that in the past 97 years there was a slow but determined plan to erode and complicate the understanding of what they were doing to bring us to a 100% fiat monetary system. President Nixon completed the task in the spring of 1971, when he took us off the last of the gold standard we had left. If you trace what has happened since 1971 through the present you will see for yourself how drastic the economy started to dive. As an example I remember the BPI (Base Price Index) was based on the year 1967, now last I check the BPI is based on the year 1985. What I would like people to do is started getting together and demand the Federal Reserve System be abolished and demand congress do their job as per the original constitution Article 1, section 8, outlined.
I know who is againest this and that is the few people who managed to benefit from this at the expense of the many are going to fight it tooth and nail to stop it.
I want all americans to have a system under which they have a fair chance to make a living. There will be some who will always be a problem on society. But the fiat monetary system should not be a problem for those who desire to strive in a non explotive, fair cooperative manner with their country men to build a better life for themselves.
I think we all understand the jist of what you are saying.
We've gotten it for a long, long time. That's why we are here. Please look at the archives - use the internal Google search bar in the upper right of the top of all CM screens and look for things like "end the fed" or "fiat currency" in quotes so you get the phrase. You're preaching to the choir, No Fiat.
Some of us might disagree on whether the problem is coming from the government side (as the Tea Party members here like to assert) or the banker side (as the OWS members here like to assert) (PS - it's both). We might also disagree on the solutions, as far as to how a new system might work - we've been talking about that for YEARS, too.
But we all agree on the problems of fiat currency and the Federal Reserve and have ample evidence in the archives to prove it. Please stop trying to wake us up with a virtual cold water bath when we are all wide awake to start with.

Hallelujah! Well stated Safewrite!
Yes, No Fiat, we understand.
If you check the archives, you might find that most of us probably get it better than you do.
We know about Jekyll Island, Bretton Woods, and Nixon's actions. We know about the goldsmiths, Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, Cecil Rhodes, JPMorgan, etc. We understand the problems with the various types of monetary systems and economic systems and especially the problems with a central banking system, fractional reserve banking, and fiat currency. We know about the military/industrial complex, financial/ insurance complex, pharmaceutical/medical complex, etc. We've read The Creature from Jekyll Island, The Web of Debt, Tragedy and Hope, War is a Racket, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, Free Lunch, and countless others. We've watch the videos on the Money Masters, the Round Table, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Edward Bernays, Inside Job, Capital Crimes, Invisible Empire, and many, many others. We've listened to Sinclair, Schiff, Faber, McAlvany, Guarino, etc., etc. We know about Elliot waves, Kondratieff cycles, generational cycles, The Fourth Turning, This Time It's Different, etc. We know about Weimar Germany, Argentina, Zimbabwe, and others. We know about other things that can't be mentioned here due to forum rules.
We've had posters in our midst like Damien Vrabel who probably understands the situation from not only an economic, financial, political, geopolitical, psychological, and emotional level but also from a spiritual level better than almost anyone out there.
We've lobbied our representatives, written letters to the editors, gone to townhall meetings, attended protests, met with our social and political circles, spoken individually and in groups with every relative and friend on the issue until they're sick of hearing about it, gotten out of debt, moved our money out of big banks to credit unions, used cash instead of credit cards, put money into precious metals rather than Wall Street cons, etc., etc.
So go read the archives, see what you can learn, come back, and then we can have a polite and informed discussion.
I have to take a moment here to say how much I appreciate the members of this site and the staff for the ability to take on the difficult task of dealing with the human emotion and reaction that comes with confronting the real problems we all face and maintain a very respectful yet firm and responsible level of communication.
You set an example of one of the key aspects needed to develop community resilience and a sane approach to dealing with our predicament. Thank you.

This. I think I titled my post "Shaking impotent rage" when I posted a while back about how angry I was and how frustrated I was with the world. But, I understood then that I was speaking to people who DID get it and who understood my rage. I think No_Fiat might be aiming at the wrong people by accident.
The funny thing is that I reread this post and everyone was exceedingly kind when No_Fiat was never clear what he wanted or meant up until s/he started being angry with us....
Its been a while now and I started this before the crash of 08. The anger still comes and goes in waves. Now I am raging at the fact that the Tea Partiers and the OWsers can't recognize what safewrite said - its both. They should be working together instead of letting Faux news keep them fighting each other.
Don't fight us here No_Fiat, we're on your side.
