Cadillac Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
It sounds like your anti lock brake system is activating and causing that grinding noise. When the ABS activates when it shouldn't it sounds like a grumbling and a motor running type noise as the motor kicks on and off while trying to figure out if there is a loss of traction. This is probably happening because of either a bad ABS controller or a faulty speed sensor that is telling the ABS computer that the vehicle is sliding and it needs to activate the traction system. Do you have a scan tool to check to see if the computer is logging which speed sensor might be acting up?
Good morning,
I just wanted to check and see if you need additional help with this.

CBC will be conducting PAT-Maths Plus tests for students in Years 3-7 next week to assess students' Numeracy skills.
Asian Literacy
These tests are online tests, which have the advantage of providing 'real time' results to students and teachers, while assessing much the same concepts and skills as pen and paper assessments.
It is a blessing that all of our staff and students returned safely after the Easter break. I encourage any of you who attended Mass after a long absence to know you are most welcome in our parishes to come to Mass weekly as a way of giving thanks to God for this amazing life.
Students in the Junior Campus undertook Chinese calligraphy lessons this week as part of our commitment to the Federal Government's Asian Literacy Policy. Over the coming weeks two CBC members of staff Mr Shaun Clarke and Mrs Kaylene Barriera will both depart for China representing CBC and Catholic Education. Mr Clarke is participating in a School Leaders' tour of Chinese schools and universities and will be participating in a range of educational discussion forums, school visits and university tours. Mrs Barriera is travelling with a group of SA educators as part of the Build the Bridge national program which seeks to improve and develop knowledge and understanding of contemporary China, provide opportunities for visits to cultural sites and to collect resources and explore how they can be used in class.

Numeracy and Literacy Testing
This week I wish to farewell Mr Adam Jacobs who has been employed at the College since 2012. Mr Jacobs worked in the EAL (English as an Additional Language) faculty this year and we thank him for his invaluable support of our students from non-English speaking backgrounds. We welcome back Mr Paul Hicks from
As communicated to parents previously, CBC has been selected to participate in the Improving Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership (ILN NP). This program is funded by the Australian Government with the objective of further improving students' literacy and numeracy outcomes.
From The Principal Dear Parents, Friends and Caregivers,
The Easter Message Continues
Liberating Education
We open hearts and minds, through quality teaching and learning experiences, so that through critical reflection and engagement each person is hope-filled and free to build a better world for all.
Faith Excellence Community Compassion
It will be necessary to send details of student names and birth dates via the Catholic Education Office to ACER, in order to provide our students with user names and passwords for the assessments, and to assist our analysis of results. Please note that ACER has agreed to keep these details confidential and only use them for the purpose of administering the test and reporting to the school and the Catholic Education Office. Any test results that are reported to the Australian Government will be aggregated so that individual schools and students cannot be identified. Please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Nicola Brennan (who is responsible for testing at CBC) at the Junior Campus if you have any questions about this process or the Improving Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership.
Old Collegian News Mr Shaun Clarke Deputy received a CBC prize book dating back to 1906 with the following letter:
Counsellor's Corner Unreal Expectations. Counsellors talk to some people with unreal expectations. Some students are like that. They continue to do the minimum of study, be absent from school without any genuine reason, work excessive hours at a part-time job, do not do the necessary assignments, procrastinate, give excessive time to social life, music or TV, engage in binge drinking, receive poor reports and yet they continue without making any positive changes in their study habits or their approach to school work. Our world is a competitive world. Unreal expectations promote false hopes. Nothing changes unless the individual decides to make necessary changes. As soon as changes are made parents, teachers and others are there to help to support the young person in the changes in attitudes and study methods.
Herewith the prize book presented to my father, Mr Charles O'Connor, for 10th place in 1906 at CBC. I remember that this prize gave us, his four children, an enormous amount of merriment, and we were very disrespectful and scornful about 10th place. We hadn't heard of prizes further down than the 3rd place. He loved CBC and he was the most wonderful father in the whole world. I am very happy that this book is returning to its 'home' after 107 years, where I know it will be cared for. Sr. Deirdre O'Connor RSM

Conclusion As I reflect on the Easter message I am reminded that the passion of Christ calls me to a deeper commitment to live life to the fullest. On the last night before crucifixion, Christ taught His disciples many vital principles. At one point, He said, "These things have I spoken unto you, that My JOY might remain in you, and that your JOY might be full" (John 15:11).
Earlier in John's Gospel we are reminded;
Winter Uniforms for new Students
To avoid queuing please book as soon as possible.
• Whole School Photo May 1-- all students to be in winter uniform (no students in PE uniform on this day please).
Br Michael Flaherty Counsellor
All new students to the college are required to make an appointment with the Uniform Shop for their Winter uniform as soon as possible.
• I am currently in discussions with members of parliament, Drugs and Alcohol Services SA, EREA, CEO SA and Adelaide City Council and will continue to keep you updated on any developments.
"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).
I leave you with this question: What does it mean to you to live life to the fullest?
The College deeply thanks Sr Deirdre for her generous gift which will be placed in the College archives. I love the wisdom of our Christian Brothers who in 1906 recognised that all achievement, no matter how significant is worthy of recognition.
Mr Noel Mifsud Principal
Opening of Midnight Clinic adjacent CBC update: I met with the planning department of the Adelaide City Council in relation to the opening of a Chemist adjacent to CBC Senior Campus. They confirmed the following: • Midnight Chemist will relocate from West Terrace to 192-198 Wakefield Street Adelaide. • The Chemist opening hours will be 7am to Midnight weekdays and 9am to Midnight Sundays. • The Chemist will incorporate the SA Opioid Substitution Treatment Program which is currently operational in approximately 200 sites across Adelaide. • The method of administering opioids is orally and there is no needle exchange program in operation. • There was no community consultation provided prior to the approval of the proposed development application. • There is no avenue for appealing this decision other than a judicial review.

From The Deputy Principal Being Fitter Does Make a Difference to Learning Last Saturday in the Advertiser there was an article entitled: "Fitter kids do better at studies." Research by the University of Wollongong showed that 30 to 40 minutes of physical activity per day demonstrated benefits for students' cognitive and academic development. They found physically fit children achieved better results in class than unfit students, as exercise becomes an indicator of academic performance. In fact, the most active students are out-performing those who do not take part in regular exercise or organised sport. Researchers also found that the more physical exercise or structured sport that students do, the better they perform with class work. In contrast, sedentary students were more at risk of their academic results falling away. Further studies by the Australian National University also found that fitter children achieve better literacy and numeracy results. There was a consistent correlation that schools that have, on average, high fitness levels will have, on average, higher literacy and numeracy levels. Dr Telford and colleagues who undertook the study followed 800 children from age 8 to age 12 in 29 schools to see if physical fitness and activity affected academic performance. This study measured physical activity (using pedometers), physical fitness (using a multi-stage running test), and body fat percentage of each child. This was then compared to the children's academic performance in the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) test.
Their study found that schools that were successful had also a strong positive culture of both academic performance and the fitness of the child, confirming findings of other studies. In a separate study, Telford and colleagues looked also at the effect of children being taught physical education by special PE teachers, instead of general classroom teachers. They found those students taught by specialised PE teachers scored 10 to 13 points higher on the NAPLAN test scores. Studies overseas at the University of North Texas have also echoed previous studies and have found that fitter middle school students performed better on reading and maths tests than their less fit peers. The study overall found physical fitness is associated with improvements in memory, concentration, organisation, and staying on task. For boys, they found that physical fitness and strong social support in the school environment resulted in increasing their reading scores whereas for girls the only factor that influenced their reading scores other than physical fitness was body mass index. For both boys and girls, fitness levels were the only factors studied (besides socio-economic status and selfconcept) that influenced their maths scores. The studies reinforce the importance of physical activity for students in schools. As a College community we have always recognised the important part physical activity has for our boys in the school through our cocurricular program, the Physical Education curriculum, Duke of Edinburgh Awards, activities at recess, House activities, involvement in club sport and walk-to-school programs. The Federal Government has identified this need for children and will spend $120 million this year promoting grassroots participation in sport.

Each Learning Area has selected unique 'Learning Indicators' which are evidenced through student performance in the assessment tasks completed at this point in the semester. Students and parents should discuss with the House Tutor the highlights of the report, which indicate the student's strengths as well as the constructive feedback given, which will provide areas for improvement for the rest of the semester. Information regarding the booking of appointments was distributed to students in Years 7 to 12 this week.

How do we know if our children think poorly of themselves? Watch for: • Acting out or disruptive behaviours (Negative attention still acts as a reinforcement for being noticed)
From the Counselling Team Six Strategies To Boost Self-Worth Children and 'self-esteem' is heard regularly in the media; however, self-efficacy is the term used in psychology and refers to a person's belief in his/her own competence. It has nothing to do with being boastful or proud, rather having a healthy view of one's own characteristics or abilities and what one can offer the world. Children's sense of self is still forming, but one good reason for encouraging development of self-efficacy would be to grow children that end up as resilient teens and adults. We are more aware that by actively building selfefficacy, we can assist our children to develop a barrier against issues such as teenage depression, eating disorders and of course social skills difficulties.
• Teach the importance of self-praise (Not reliance on parents, teachers or friends to feel good about something they have done) • Pursue occasions to give to the community (looking outward takes the focus off the 'self')
• Internalising behaviours (A child becomes more quiet, contemplative or self-focused than usual)
Is there anything that we could avoid doing or saying?
• Struggling with friendships and social skills • Always putting themselves down
• Don't take away natural consequences for poor choices
• Refusal to try new things for fear of failure or looking silly
• Don't do everything for your child all the time – encourage help around the home
What can we do to encourage development of self-efficacy?
• Don't re-do their jobs e.g. re-make their bed if it is not 'perfect'
• Provide many opportunities to discover capabilities by enrolling in sports and activities. (Gentle pressure may sometimes be necessary, for uncertain children) • Encourage children to make decisions and seek alternatives (Don't always give the answers) • Engage in pre-planning, healthy debate and problem solving discussions at home (This can reduce the stress around tasks)
• Discourage use of 'victim' language; I'm so dumb, no-one likes me, it always happens to me. Develop a family habit of praising the process rather than the end result. Collett Smart is a psychologist and educator. For further information visit her website at www.familysmart.com. au This article has been re-printed with her permission. Ms Jane Gaynor From the Counselling Team
• Provide kind feedback on how to accept weaknesses or learn from mistakes

• Please do not park in disabled car parks • Please do not abuse Teaching Staff or Officers who are only trying to ensure student safety at all times
Assistant Principal - Junior Campus Dear Parents/Caregivers and Friends Last Thursday I had the pleasure of delivering over 36 Easter Egg baskets to those in need. Several of our Junior Campus Social Justice Action Committee boys came along with me and were deeply moved by their experience. One student was particularly moved when he gave a basket to one of the homeless gentlemen and he took an egg out and said "there are others more in need than me". Our CBC student turned to me with tears in his eyes and said "How kind is this man?" To ensure the safety of our students at the Junior Campus, I must remind everyone of the laws and courtesies when picking up or dropping off students at the school. The safety of students is paramount over convenience. • Please do not double park on cycle lanes, or driveways of businesses • Please do not park across our neighbours' driveways • Adelaide City Council officers allow only for people to be in parking bays for 2 minutes at drop off/pick up times. If you leave your car you may be booked
• Please use the pedestrian crossing at all times. Some families are crossing Wakefield Street/East Terrace. This is a very dangerous practice and could lead to someone being seriously injured. Please support us in being careful and safe and remember that the Adelaide City Council Traffic Inspectors often "blitz" the area around our school. If you have any concerns please direct them to the Adelaide City Council not the Junior Campus staff. I remind parents that Parent/Student Teacher Interviews will be held for Term 1 next Thursday 11 April 2013. Your son should have come home with a letter for you to make an appointment to see your son's class teacher as well as Specialist teachers. Teachers will make themselves available at a mutually convenient time if Thursday evening does not suit you. It is our expectation that students in Years 4-6 will accompany parents to the Parent/Student/Teacher Interviews. As this term draws to a close and we move forward to the last week of school and the much needed holidays, I cannot help but reflect on your sense of purpose at Christian Brothers College Junior Campus which extends beyond our building to incorporate learning the sense of peace and reconciliation which comes through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Reminders for Weeks Ahead • Breakfast Club – Every Tuesday and Thursday from 8.15am – 8.30am. All JC students welcome (toast, spread and juice available) No costs involved.

Hamish Richardson selected for State Debating Team On behalf of the debating coaches and team members I would like to congratulate Year 11 student Hamish Richardson on being selected in the South Australian Schools' State Debating Squad. Just six students from hundreds of debaters in South Australia have been selected. This is a wonderful achievement for Hamish as he now has the opportunity to debate at the 2013 National Schools' Debating Championships in Canberra in August. This is not the first debating success that Hamish has experienced, having won the Year 10 Debater of the Year award last year in the Debating SA competition. We are thrilled for Hamish and wish him every success as he embarks on an intensive training program in preparation for representing South Australia in Canberra. Thanks also go to Mrs Kaylene Barriera for her commitment to debating and coaching expertise over the last few years. Well done! Mrs Sandra Mason Debating Coordinator Year 10 Debater of the Year, Hamish Richardson, receiving congratulations from His Excellency Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce AC CSC RANR, Governor of South Australia (Photo: Courtesy Debating SA).

I love these invitations, and they're perfect for my "southern elegance" themed wedding. The one drawback I noticed is that the invitation gets snagged a little when you're trying to pull it out of the sheer envelope, so I cut the corners off of each invitation. I also added a stick-on pearl from a craft store to the top. I would definitely give these 5 stars, but I didn't like how the card would get stuck in the sheer envelope. I'll also point out that some reviewers on other sites mentioned they didn't like the fact that you couldn't address the inner envelope since it's sheer. They had to either use labels or hire a calligrapher. It wasn't a problem for me, but I thought I'd mention it if it's a big deal for you. David's Bridal was great about matching a lower price I saw on another site after I'd already placed my order.
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Another year and another set of gifts to put together. Last night I finished up two nights of putting together Christmas gifts for my son. I battled stripped screws, missing pieces, and confusing instructions to finally put together a toy firehouse for over 5 hours total. Once that was finished I realized not only would this year include figuring out something like a play set, but also putting together technology by loading apps onto a learning toy. When I finally got in bed my head was numb from looking at all the small print instructions. But I closed my eyes and settled down for a peaceful night of sweet dreams. However, a very short time into my slumber it dawned on me that I have a huge project left that is the Christmas gift my parents bought my children for Christmas!!! I love my children and I am happy to put these things together for them, but I am seriously considering a rule for anyone buying them gifts next year. That rule is, "If you buy it, you put it together!"

First post
Hi I am 39 year old male and have been diagnosed withPTSD and depression as well as anxiety. I was the driver of a vehicle involved in a fatal car accident with a pedestrian 3 years ago and since then have suffered with the above conditions. The accident was under investigation for a year and I was found to be totally blameless however felt and feel a huge amount of guilt and almost self torture myself every day.
Last September I was admitted to hospital with headaches and after every test under the sun was told it was anxiety. I was suffering from headaches, pins and needles, racing heart, depersonalisation, I have pushed everyone I know away because I hate myself and how I feel. It's a vicious circle I am married and have a beautiful 12 year old daughter but life just seems to pass me by and I struggle daily to enjoy anything.
I have read a number of posts on here and can identify lots with some of the symptoms
Thank you for any support

If you really knew me then you would know this…
Just a heads up, my mind thinks in pictures. You can also tell this by my stick figure drawings on the whiteboard at the gym. SecondIy, I am not the best at putting words on paper so bear through any typos and bad grammar please.
I thought it would be fitting to post a blog on my fitness journey for this #TBT. Looking back at all the years, I find myself a little overwhelmed with all of the great things that have happened. I'm going to take you through some of the major steps of what brought me here today.
First, please meet the people that have been there for me since day one. You would probably not be reading this if it were not for the love and support from my grandma Joyce and grandpa Lee.
Also, a big thank you to my sister Michelle and brother Doug for always listening to my ghost stories.
My fitness journey begins with an introduction to CrossFit. At the time, I had no idea what it was. I just knew that some of the best UFC fighters were doing it, so I had to check it out. Below is a picture of me and Cody Joe hitting a rowing workout in the hanger bay of the USS Ronald Reagan.
I was introduced to CrossFit during my first few weeks in the Navy. I immediately fell in love with the idea of working hard in the gym, while having fun doing it! It was unlike any other workout that I had ever done before. What my friends and coaches didn't tell me was how it would change my life forever.
I dove headfirst into pushing it as hard as I could. I learned as much as possible about what exactly it meant to be "in shape". I put in the work inside the gym and focused on eating healthy. Then something amazing happened! My body started to change, along with my mindset. I started to feel better, both physically and mentally. At this point, I knew that I had found something special. I knew that if it worked for me then it had to work for someone else too. Had to find a way to guide others to what I had discovered. The Navy quickly became my second career.
I was fortunate enough to be able to meet this group. Coming out of the military, I had aspirations to become part of the coaching team at CrossFit Memphis. What I knew then, was just a gym. I had no idea that the people inside would soon give me a chance to make a difference. With a little faith, they brought me into their lives.
Upon first arrival to Faction, my mentorship began very quickly. Learning from the best was no easy task. I was under the spotlight at all times, but his was my time to make it work. I had left a stable career and took a chance. Yes, I was scared to death, but at the same time, my passion trumped everything else. So I put in countless hours and worked my butt off during the internship.
I started learning the ins and outs of what it meant to be a coach. Coaching, as I knew it at the time, was doing exercises correctly and cheering people on as they did the workout of the day. I was way off! What I was missing was compassion and understanding of where someone was coming from. At the time, I had no one else's goals in mind except mine.
After my internship, I was given the opportunity to coach the morning classes for Ashley. From day one, I started to understand what the role of a coach really was. It was not about me anymore, it was all about the athlete. My understanding of what is was to be a coach took a bit of a turn. I started to learn about leadership, like nothing else I had ever known before. I started to learn from the people that I was coaching and being coached by.
Progress has not always been linear. What I mean by this is that it has not been an easy road. There have been days when I just felt like giving up. There have been times when I have felt like the weight on my shoulders has been too much to handle. Along the way, my mentors have literally taken their shoes off to help me get through it and keep growing. I have learned that I don't always need to get it right all the time. Sometimes failures are blessings in disguise.
Fortunately, there have always been times during the chaos that I could still see the good stuff. My support team at home has also taught me a lot about coaching. They have taught me to love unconditionally and be patient. Nothing good comes fast, and even if it did then you wouldn't appreciate it as much.
Now with CrossFit infused in all parts of my life, magical things are happening. Keeping in mind that everything I learned in my early days of CrossFit, still resonates with me every day. Working hard towards goals, and investing as much energy in being the best physically and mentally, has made me the happiest that I have ever been.
As my team grows, I grow. We get stronger every day. We take it one day at a time and try not to live too fast. We approach every day as an opportunity given, and try to make the best of it. Hard work is still in our blood and will always be.
If you really knew me then you would know this…
1) You would know that I've seen a lot, even though I still look 19.
2) You would know that I am beyond grateful to have had the experiences that make me who I am today.
3) You would know that my family is one of the most important things in my life.
4) You would know that Faction is everything to me. My team is everyone from our staff to athletes, you all make this work.
Know that this is just the beginning, I will only push harder to be the best that I can be. I will work as hard as possible to spread the love that I have for health and fitness. I will keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Here's to reflecting on the good times. Take a good look at where you are today, and how you got there. Stay focused on your goals and don't let anything distract you.
See you in the gym!

Ol' Remus offers his opinions as-is, where is. He rarely cites support for his opinions so they are, in that sense, unwarranted. He comes by them largely by having lived and watched and listened rather than by argument or persuasion. His opinions, not having been arrived at by debate are, therefore, not particularly vulnerable to debate. He entertains opposing opinion but he feels no inclination, much less obligation, to discuss or defend his own. Whatever usefulness or amusement readers may find in them is their own business.

There are no trackers, cookies, LSOs, analytics or widgets. Posted links are cleansed of superfluous identifiers.
Although the sentiment warms Remus's tiny little heart, Woodpile Report has no mechanism for receiving donations or gifts, nor does he accept them by subterfuge.
Woodpile Report does not maintain an archive. Some issues linger on the server until Remus gets around to deleting them. Don't confuse Woodpile Report with a blog. It isn't. It's an olde tymme internet site made by hand and archives are a dispensable chore.
Here at Yer ol' Woodpile Report all incoming email is automatically detected and deleted by instantaneously disconnecting before it arrives. Taking no chances, a clever device shreds Remus's hard drive into nanosize filaments and sinters them into a bust of Chopin. Meanwhile, from a hardened and very remote location, he sends a bot that deletes said email on your end by tricking your PC into self-immolation. Other devices vaporize every ISP that handled it and beam the resulting plasma into deep space. Then he sends a strike team of armed pre-med students to administer a prefrontal lobotomy so you can't remember your own birthday much less writing him an email. Finally, all persons in your zip code with the same last name as yours are put into the witness protection program. Now that's privacy.

Where the name came from
What's with the title Woodpile Report? Well, it's this way, from January of 2004 until mid-2007 it was emailed to a subscibers list. In that form it was titled the Woodpile Weather Report. A picture of ol' Remus's woodpile appeared at the top as both a weather report and, by documenting the progression from log pile to chunkwood to a split 'n stacked woodpile, a witness to the seasonal changes. It was the thin thread from which comments hung. As thrilling as all that was, the comments metastasized and took over. But the title remains.

Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have
Never go outside the experience of your people.
Whenever possible, go outside the experience of the enemy.
Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
Ridicule is man's most potent weapon
A good tactic is one your people enjoy.
A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag.
Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period.
The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself.
Maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.
The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.
How To Create A Socialist State
by Saul Alinsky
1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
Moscow Rules
via the International Spy Museum
Assume nothing.
Never go against your gut.
Everyone is potentially under opposition control.
Don't look back; you are never completely alone.
Go with the flow, blend in.
Vary your pattern and stay within your cover.
Lull them into a sense of complacency.
Don't harass the opposition.
Pick the time and place for action.
Keep your options open.
Rules of Disinformation
via Proparanoid
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil
Become incredulous and indignant
Create rumor mongers
Use a straw man
Sidetrack opponents with name calling, ridicule
Hit and Run
Question motives
Invoke authority
Play Dumb
Associate opponent charges with old news
Establish and rely upon fall-back positions
Enigmas have no solution
Alice in Wonderland Logic
Demand complete solutions
Fit the facts to alternate conclusions
Vanish evidence and witnesses
Change the subject
Emotionalize, antagonize, and goad
Ignore facts, demand impossible proofs
False evidence
Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor
Manufacture a new truth
Create bigger distractions
Silence critics
Remus's antidote: tell the truth as plainly as you can. Humor helps.
The Five Stages of Collapse
Dmitry Orlov
Financial Collapse. Faith in "business as usual" is lost.
Commercial Collapse. Faith that "the market shall provide" is lost.
Political Collapse. Faith that "the government will take care of you" is lost.
Social Collapse. Faith that "your people will take care of you" is lost.
Cultural Collapse. Faith in the goodness of humanity is lost.
The Five Rules of Propaganda
Norman Davies
Simplification: reducing all data to a single confrontation between Good and Bad', Friend and Foe'.
Disfiguration: discrediting the opposition by crude smears and parodies.
Transfusion: manipulating the consensus values of the target audience for one's own ends.
Unanimity: presenting one's viewpoint as if it were the unanimous opinion of all right-thinking people: drawing the doubting individual into agreement by the appeal of star performers, by social pressure, and by psychological contagion'.
Orchestration: endlessly repeating the same messages in different variations and combinations.
The Psychology of Cyber Attacks
Robert Cialdini
via securityintelligence.com
Principle of Liking - people tend to form trust with those they're attracted to, both physically and emotionally
Social Proof - People are motivated more by what others do than a perceived or even quantifiable benefit
Rule of Reciprocation - Humans feel a sense of obligatory quid pro quo
Commitment & Consistency - Most people stick with their original decisions despite information that supports changing their course
Principle of Authority - Authority, whether real or perceived, elicits obedience in many people
Principle of Scarcity - People want to be included in exclusive offers and often make poor choices under pressure
How to prosecute anybody
Look around for "suspicious" behavior, i.e., behavior on the part of a private citizen that can be made to appear suspicious
Ruthlessly probe every element of the "suspect's" life, using the effectively infinite resources of the State, until enough "suspicious" behavior has been amassed
Assemble a huge list of charges to place before a grand jury
Present the case in such a fashion as to promote the less plausible accusations and obscure the more plausible ones, thus securing a grab-bag indictment
Offer the indicted person a plea bargain that will spare him centuries in prison and complete pauperization at the bargain price of a few years and/or a few thousand dollars.
Francis Porretto
Rembrandt van Rijn, 1606-1669, self portrait etchings
Etching, a seemingly simple medium, is fiendishly complex at its highest level. The best, and Rembrandt was the best of the best, were masters of tone and technique which gave their work the richness and depth of painting. Etchings were enormously popular in Rembrandt's time, and an important source of his income for almost all his working life.
The two self portraits above are small sketches, the one at left most likely an exercise in capturing a fleeting expression. More info here .
Tucker Carlson was the editor of Daily Caller when he wrote this about the "conservative establishment" in January, 2016:
Politico - Consider the conservative nonprofit establishment, which seems to employ most right-of-center adults in Washington. Over the past 40 years, how much donated money have all those think tanks and foundations consumed? Billions, certainly.
Has America become more conservative over that same period? Come on. Most of that cash went to self-perpetuation: Salaries, bonuses, retirement funds, medical, dental, lunches, car services, leases on high-end office space, retreats in Mexico, more fundraising.
Paul Gottfried at the Unz Review says:
The plain fact is that Conservatism Inc. functionaries are now socially and culturally much closer to the rest of the political journalistic Establishment than they are to the real Right. They and their Leftist debating partners attended the same educational institutions, live in the same gentrified urban neighborhoods and frequent the same restaurants.
Z Man says, in his essay about Reihan Salam, Why Conservatism Died:
Conservatism is dead. It's not just that they outsourced their movement to Asian migrants. It's that they stopped being serious. They turned their thing into a parlor game, where they play a role the Left designed for them.
I thought of how useless the conservatives and the Republican Party have been, and are, when I read this in the Washington Post on Thursday:
The Republican-led House narrowly rejected a measure on Thursday that sought to strike an Obama-era practice of requiring the Pentagon to pay for gender transition surgeries and hormone therapy.
Democrats described the proposal as bigoted, unconstitutional and cowardly and they won support from 24 GOP lawmakers to scuttle the amendment to the annual defense policy bill, 214-209.
Apparently twenty-four Republican Representatives believe their constituents who oppose this outrage are bigoted and cowardly as well.
Next please
At present I'm pondering questions, not answers.
Is the Alt Right a comparatively well-mannered and gentlemanly forerunner of the real backlash to come, perhaps a trial balloon to test the winds aloft?
Which is the more probable motive for those underground luxury bunkers and South Pacific retreats, fear of nuclear war or fear of a long overdue reckoning?
It's said the last act of a collapsing regime is to loot the treasury. Are we seeing mere corruption or the "last act"?
Next item please
About the police killing of Justine Damond in Minneapolis, she being the one who called 911 to report suspicious goings-on. Here's what the mainstream media is not telling you, from Gateway Pundit:
Somali American police officer Mohamed Noor shot Aussie Justine Damond dead this past weekend. Mohamed Noor reached over his partner and shot Damond dead while she was speaking to his partner. Damond called the police to report a possible assault down the alley behind her home. Mohamed was the first Somali officer in his precinct.
And finally,
Repeal ObamaCare. Build the wall. Furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed. So far, one out of three, no credit to DC. While we wait, let's put sanity aside, fortify ourselves with thoughts of puppies and kittens, and reluctantly turn to what now occupies the space formerly reserved for reality, as chronicled in yer ol' Woodpile Report.

Miami Herald - Former Haiti government official shoots himself in the head in Miami-area hotel
yournewswire.com says this:
Eberwein was due to appear next Tuesday before the Haitian Senate Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission where he was widely expected to testify that the Clinton Foundation misappropriated Haiti earthquake donations from international donors.
According to Eberwein, a paltry 0.6% of donations granted by international donors to the Clinton Foundation with the express purpose of directly assisting Haitians actually ended up in the hands of Haitian organizations. A further 9.6% ended up with the Haitian government. The remaining 89.8% – or $5.4 billion – was funneled to non-Haitian organizations.
"The Clinton Foundation, they are criminals, they are thieves, they are liars, they are a disgrace," Eberwein said at a protest outside the Clinton Foundation headquarters in Manhattan last year.
And the list keeps growing. The Chicago Tribune says, "Peter W. Smith, GOP operative who sought Clinton's emails from Russian hackers, committed suicide, records show". Smith had a long history of opposition research on Clinton family "enterprises".

Synopsis with links
Slavery: Dark Spots in a Shining Sea of Twaddle, Fred On Everything - Much is written about slavery and its aftermaths. A large part of this is frenetically modified history issuing from people both excited and poorly read, a comic-book version apparently intended to support agendas of the impenetrably adolescent Left. A few points ...
Fox News - Kim Jong Un sends North Korean slaves to Russia to earn cash for regime
Russia, Zero Hedge - For almost a full year now the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC and CNN, among others, have teamed up to bring us one Russian collusion story after another. We suspect that these media outlets somehow feel it is their duty to advance the cause of 'The Resistance' at all costs, even if it means destroying their own journalistic integrity from time to time with a few fake news reports. The media's mass hysteria is really only serving to bolster 'The Resistance' in the major metro areas of the country. Rallying the disaffected liberal voters of New York and California is not going to win any national elections.
Two related essays ponder the perils of noticing the difference between "what experts say" and the evidence of your own eyes. Dystopic leads off and Francis Porretto takes up the theme.
Declination - One thing that has become clear to me over the years is that people can reason themselves in and out of pretty much anything. Evidence can be provided for just about any assertion, no matter how ludicrous, and debunking it can lead to an endless rabbit hole of argument and counter-argument that never resolves much of anything. You can test this by googling just about any idiotic idea, and mountains of "evidence" will be found to support it. So how does a man determine what is true, or at least more likely to be true?
Bastion Of Liberty - Some years ago I realized that a considerable fraction of my anthropological and sociological assumptions were persistently contradicted by that persistently aggravating old nag, reality: i.e., the evidence of my senses. My perceptions were amply confirmed by the evidence of others' senses and the aggregate of news reportage about matters pertaining to crime and public safety. To wit: the white and black races differ markedly in intelligence, aggressiveness, and propensity for lawbreaking. To notice those patterns was the first step along a socially hazardous route. I could feel the danger even at the outset.
Civil wrongs, Traditional Right 2014 - Because cultural Marxism preaches that all blacks' troubles are the fault of whites, black racism, black hatred of whites, is now common in black urban communities. The message disempowers blacks, because if their problems are whites' fault, blacks can do nothing about them. All the black urban community can do is wallow endlessly in its sins, until whites somehow rescue them. This is of course nonsense. When genuine history can be written, the history of the Civil Rights movement will take both narratives into account, those of the winners and the losers. When that time comes, the Civil Rights movement may be seen very differently.
1942. Dillon Montana
Dillon is a town of about 4,000, and growing, in southwestern Montana. The population in 1942 was about 3,100. Dillon began as a railroad center serving nearby silver and gold mines and expanded as a sheep and cattle town. Forbes listed it as one of "America's Prettiest Towns" and photos on the web confirm it.
Shown in the photo is Bannack Street at the intersection with Montana Street in 1942. The gold leaf lettering on the turret windows read: Dr. Harve Stanchfield, Physician & Surgeon. The ground floor cafe advertised twenty-four hour table service.
This classic red brick 1890 building has been replaced with a casino-tavern, done in the severely blank but admirably efficient Modular Warehouse Style. Where the 1890 version expressed civic confidence with panache and style, its replacement suggests deferred redemption. And Raymond Sideloaders.
The photographer is standing in about the same place as above, but has moved somewhat to his right to catch the rest of the block. All these buildings still stand, with the usual ground floor remodeling from different eras and various degrees of vandalism to the upper stories, with the exception of the building at the far right which appears unmodified.

Synopsis with links
Dem deplorables, City Journal - In the course of describing the Democrats' class dilemma, the liberal truth-tellers unwittingly show why a solution lies out of reach. They understate Democrats' entanglement with the identity-politics Left, a group devoted to a narrative of American iniquity. No Democrat today possesses the skills to persuade liberal voters to give up their assumptions of white deplorability, endorse assimilation, or back traditional civics education. In the current environment, a Democratic civics curriculum would teach that American institutions are vehicles for the transmission of white supremacy and sexism, hardly a route to social cohesion.
Evergreen State, The College Fix posts a series reporting on a 900-page document dump obtained by The College Fix through a public records act request to Evergreen State College.
First in the series. Read the emails Evergreen State's president was sent that denounce him as a foolish coward.
Second in the series. Evergreen State upheaval felt like some sort of warzone, scholar says
Third in the series. 'How foolish of me to even imagine a post‐racial society,' Evergreen's president opined in email
Because shut up, Truth Is Justice - John McWhorter's recent piece at National Review posits the racial IQ gap might exist but recommends not talking about it anyway. How much longer before NR just cuts out the rigmarole and starts recruiting writers from Black Lives Matter? McWhorter begins his article by asking what we have to gain by discussing the intellectual inferiority of blacks. Could you imagine anyone asking that question about any other topic? Soon, whites will be forced to fight for what they never should have given away in the first place. This is the ultimate price of keeping frank racial discussions in the closet, and one, I am sure, no one wants to pay.
Church of Modern Lunacy, Z Man - Churches are now in a death spiral. First came the women and then the feminist women. Soon they invited in the homosexuals and the clergy started looking like the faculty of a liberal arts college. That's when the pews started to empty out. Why bother going to church, when you can get the same liberal lecture from television? The conservatives make it a priority to serve the church and serve God, while the radicals are always scheming to advance the radical agenda. The conservatives are constantly outmaneuvered and end up getting marginalized, despite having numbers.
La Civilta Cattolica, a Vatican-reviewed Catholic journal, says modern-day deplorables harbor a "xenophobic and Islamophobic vision that wants walls and purifying deportations." La Civilta Cattolica is also where "Social Justice" theory was first published, in the 1850s by co-founder and Jesuit priest Luigi Taparelli.
The Vatican appears to be, and seems happy to be, a junior partner to this political pustule. It's not a good look, but chances are they're going to ride this ugly horse right off the cliff. They've done it before. There was an era when even Der Sturmer quoted La Civilta Cattolica. How about this: bus drivers have one job. Dentists have one job. Christian churches have one job. Do your job.
Joplin, Quintus Curtius - It is often said that ragtime music is an ancestor of jazz; but this is not really the whole story. Joplin actually disdained free-form improvisation: he felt that all of his compositions should be played exactly as they had been written by him. Ragtime in many ways is its own separate musical genre, unlike anything before or since. It combined the rollicking, bawdy feel of the brothel with the rigor and discipline of classical German musical forms. It is an unexpected fusion, but it works. Joplin did not invent the genre, but he became its most influential and capable practitioner.
1942. Creede Colorado
Creede is a mining town of about 300 in southwestern Colorado near the headwaters of the Rio Grande. Creede is a boom town that went bust, down from about 10,000 in 1891, and from about 700 in 1942, but with enough good ore to prevent it from becoming a ghost town.
Notable residents include Robert Ford and Bat Masterson. The photo is of Creede Notch, the town itself is largely behind the photographer. Here's a link to a recent photo taken from almost the same place.

AI robots, John Rappoport - No matter how many complex layers of "decision-making" are programmed into AI, the machine is always acting within rules and guidelines laid out in advance. It is never choosing. Individual humans are capable of free choice, and are also capable of changing their own rules and standards. The future is bright, if you want planned societies run by AI, where humans are fitted into slots, and algorithms determine who eats, who doesn't, who has access to water and who doesn't, how much energy can be used by each human, and all production and distribution are controlled from a central planning center.
Sticks and stones, Front Page - The left has spent decades successfully normalizing the intentionally vague term "hate speech" in the culture, even going so far as to insist that it should not be protected by the First Amendment. But what is "hate speech"? It's anything the left wants it to be, of course. When the media elites of CNN or HBO or The View or late night talk shows openly bash Christians or the traditional values of flyover Americans, it is never, ever condemned as hate speech; but those same elites leap to denounce virtually everything the right says as such. It is a brilliantly effective way to delegitimize conservatives and their ideas, and to exclude them from the public sphere. Now illiberals want to take the concept of hate speech to the next level, redefining the word "violence" to include emotionally hurtful language.
Superfluid gravity, Aeon - The evidence for dark matter comes from its gravitational effects: unseen material seems to have influenced the formation, rotation and motions of galaxies. On very large scales, collisionless dark matter generally matches astronomical observations. On smaller scales, however, this model predicts that more material would clump in galactic centres than astronomers actually find. An entirely different model does better with exactly those observations. Maybe dark matter at small scales makes a phase transition into a superfluid. If it forms a condensate at the scale of galaxies, this really solves a lot of problems.
Luxury bunkers, Independent - The super-rich and ultra-paranoid are preparing for the breakup of civilisation by purchasing of apocalypse-safe bunkers worth millions of pounds. The 15-storey underground luxury compounds are said by the sellers to be able to withstand everything from extreme weather like tornadoes, to a full blown nuclear attack. Located in Kansas, the hardened structures were originally missile silos, built by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Each facility has more than 54,000 square feet of protected space, and are able to sustain 75 people for upwards of five years.
1942. England
This wasn't a day's ration, this was a week's ration. Sugar, tea, a cheese slice, margarine, butter, lard, one egg, bacon and four slices of beef. Bon apetit. Food rationing began in January 1940, but excluded fish and a food-like substance called "national bread". Life expectancy, general health and infant mortality steadily improved throughout the war.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants and debt is the money of slaves.
If, before undertaking some action, you must obtain the permission of society—you are not free, whether such permission is granted to you or not. Only a slave acts on permission. A permission is not a right.
Ayn Rand
The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.
Ayn Rand
There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
Ayn Rand
The socialist ideal eventually goes viral, and the majority learns to game the system. Everyone is trying to live at the expense of everyone else. In the terminal phase, the failure of the system is disguised under a mountain of lies, hollow promises, and debts. When the stream of other people's money runs out, the system collapses.
Kevin Brekke
When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you
you may know that your society is doomed.
Ayn Rand
Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics ... It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.
Vaclav Havel
Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.
H. L. Mencken
We have reached a point of diminishing returns in our public life. Hardly anything actually needs doing. We may in fact be past that point; not only does nothing much need doing, but we'd benefit if much of what has been done were to be undone.
John Derbyshire
The hallmark of authoritarian systems is the creation of innumerable, indecipherable laws. Such systems make everyone an un-indicted felon and allow for the exercise of arbitrary government power via selective prosecution.
Ayn Rand
Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.

Black kitchen furniture – beautiful and stylish
Posted in : Kitchen furniture, Light premises, Studio kitchens, Unusual decisions on by : admin Tags: black dinette sets, black dining room sets, black dining room table, dining room tables and chairs, glass dining tables, sofa
The black color of the furniture can give your kitchen a very stylish look. And do not be afraid of the myth that black conceals the space. If you think about all the details in right way – black furniture will emphasize the advantages of your kitchen. The modern designers are sure that black furniture is a beautiful and stylish decoration.
There are some tips, which can help make your kitchen to be in a trendy black shade, having at the same time maximum functionality.
- Black kitchen furniture (for example, black dining room sets) is usually done in a modern, industrial or hi-tech styles. However, this is not a dogma.
- Designers often choose black furniture for studio space, which includes the living room, kitchen and the dining room. Black gloss or textured matte finish – this is the case, when the kitchen set is in the foreground, it isn't hidden, but on the contrary, with its help the owner is trying to emphasize kitchen beauty and functionality.
- Black furniture for the kitchen almost always has straight lines, laconic forms, the accents of glass and chrome-plated steel, worktop made of artificial stone or stainless steel. Black facades of kitchen units can be perfectly complement by the countertops made of marble and artificial stone with white or black specks and streaks. Stylish and respectable this furniture looks, when you combine it with natural wood or stone (natural or artificial) elements. In some cases it is recommended to involve some glass dining tables of different sizes to your interior.
- Crystal chandelier or hood encrusted with crystals can became an excellent accompaniment to glamorous kitchen design in black colors. These accessories bring black gloss kitchen a special charm.
- If you decide to furnish the kitchen with black furniture, properly chosen lighting becomes really important. This is no exaggeration. Lamp located in the right place and point lights not only add light, but also liven the kitchen up. It will be more warm and welcoming. Large windows and stained glass interior doors will be ideal for such kitchen.
- It is important to choose the background for the furniture. For the kitchen, designed in black and white color scheme, it is necessary to «accent» on the contrast and give preference to wallpaper or wall painted in white or very light colors. For example, you can buy a black dining room table for this purpose. Such kitchen looks very impressive and elegant. You also can add to black kitchen the bright-saturated accents: for example, red, orange or lime. Great combination is a black-and-white variant with accents of any bright color.
- The perception of black furniture really depends on the working area with a small household appliances filled with kitchen utensils and other small things, for example, products, bottles and other things, which shown that this kitchen is actively used. Some people even buy a black sofa or dark dining room tables and chairs for this purpose.
