A Sandwich a Day: Indian Taco at Tim's Drive Inn in Oklahoma City, OK
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great country of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Is an Indian taco technically a sandwich? According to Merriam-Webster, "one slice of bread covered with food" qualifies—and it also happens to be a pitch-perfect definition of the Indian taco ($5.99) at Oklahoma City's venerable Tim's Drive Inn.
A crispy-outside, funnel-cakey-inside piece of Navajo-style frybread supports a heap of lettuce, chopped tomatoes, onions, chili, beans, hot sauce, and a mountain of grated cheese. It might actually be the tallest thing for miles in this flat part of the country, and chances are it won't last long.
The sweet-salty combination of the fresh frybread dripping with chili juice and hot sauce ain't the easiest to eat (it's a strictly knife-and-fork affair), but this one vanished in under 10 minutes.

Minister for the Cabinet Office, Francis Maude, has said that open data and public sector transparency is both 'uncomfortable' and 'awkward' for government, but it shouldn't turn back on it, as it drives innovation and growth.
Speaking today at a Reform conference on transparency and open government, Maude said that open data is not a 'fad', but a permanent feature in the UK public sector.
He said: "Advances in technology have made data the entitlement of many, not just the privileged. Data is the new resource, it's the new raw material of the 21st Century. Its value exists in holding government to account and enabling informed choices to be made by citizens.
"[Open data] is feeding innovation and enterprise, which drives growth. There is a whole new industry emerging around the exploitation of data, and jobs and wealth will flows from this."
The UK government is investing heavily in transparency, where Maude recently launched a white paper that detailed the government's drive to release data into the public domain for analysis and re-use.
Across UK government more than 9,000 datasets have been made available via data.gov.uk and the Cabinet Office plans to launch a £10 million Open Data Institute, headed up by inventor of the internet Tim Berners-Lee, to help businesses maximise the commercial value of open data.
The UK has also recently taken up its position as co-leader of the Open Government Partnership (OGP).
The OGP was formally launched in September 2011 by eight founding countries, including the UK, as a multilateral initiative that aims to secure concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance.
It has since grown to 57 member governments, representing approximately two billion people, of which 46 governments have published action plans detailing more than 300 commitments to open government. The OGP has an annual rotation of two leaders, where the UK and Indonesia will now take up their position as co-chairs up until September 2013, while the US and Brazil step down.
Since its launch the OGP has made strides, 57 members have signed up. This must be more than just a talking shop and a facility for governments to pat each other on the back for making grand sounding commitments, it has to be about granular actions. After all the enthusiasm and rhetoric of the first year of OGP, we now need to establish it as a credible international organisation that makes governments better.
However, Maude today warned that countries around the world shouldn't join the OGP unless they are serious about fulfilling its commitments.
"I don't want all governments to join it actually, because some of them will join it just because they think it's a forum for making themselves sound and look better. OGP needs to have, and will have, the teeth to require members to deliver on the commitments in their actions plans, if they wish to remain members," he said.
He added: "There is every reason for governments to sign up to transparency, but the danger is that they sign up to it on their own terms, reneging on commitments as and when it suits them. We are not trying to claim that we get it right all the time, we have had teething problems ourselves, but we are getting better."
The government has also announced today that the Efficiency and Reform Group has developed a guide for other countries and administrations to help them build an online data portal, using the source code from data.gov.uk. Maude said: "We want to see the equivalent of our data portal in places all over the world."
Finally, Maude issued a call to action for the media to work with the datasets that the government is releasing, so as to hold ministers and departments to account for inefficiency. He was firm in his views that the media should remain as open as possible.
"As lead co-chair of the OGP we will be working with another group alongside civil society organisations. A group that historically exposed lies, corruption and the ineffectiveness of people in power. I am of course talking about the media, which has a crucial role in holding governments to account," he said.
Maude said that Whitehall had 'entered a new age' where it is pushing our information and inviting the media to hold it to account, rather than disguising and denying as much as it can.
He said: "We want the media to engage with and exploit open data in ways that it is only just beginning to do. The media has a unique role, I want to see journalists everywhere engaging with this data to expose waste and incompetence."

Qatar, independent emirate on the west coast of the Persian Gulf.
Occupying a small desert peninsula that extends northward from the larger Arabian Peninsula, it has been continuously but sparsely inhabited since prehistoric times. Following the rise of Islam, the region became subject to the Islamic caliphate; it later was ruled by a number of local and foreign dynasties before falling under the control of the Āl Thānī (Thānī dynasty) in the 19th century. The Āl Thānī sought British patronage against competing tribal groups and against the Ottoman Empire—which occupied the country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—and in exchange the United Kingdom controlled Qatar's foreign policy until the latter's independence in 1971. Thereafter, the monarchy continued to nurture close ties with Western powers as a central pillar of its national security. Qatar has one of the world's largest reserves of petroleum and natural gas and employs large numbers of foreign workers in its production process. Because of its oil wealth, the country's residents enjoy a high standard of living and a well-established system of social services.
The capital is the eastern coastal city of Doha (Al-Dawḥah), which was once a centre for pearling and is home to most of the country's inhabitants. Radiating inland from its handsome Corniche, or seaside boulevard, Doha blends premodern architecture with new office buildings, shopping malls, and apartment complexes. Qatar's traditions draw on a nomadic past and practices that are centuries old, from hand-woven products to falconry. However, the country's population is urban and coastal, its daily life is thoroughly modern, and its rulers have sought to enhance civil liberties. The press is among the freest in the region, and though they are religious and traditional, Qataris pride themselves on their tolerance for the cultures and beliefs of others. On the status of the country's large expatriate community, the ruling emir has noted that "in Qatar, they find security and a dignified livelihood."
Slightly smaller in area than the U.S. state of Connecticut, the Qatar peninsula is about 100 miles (160 km) from north to south, 50 miles (80 km) from east to west, and is generally rectangular in shape. It shares a border with eastern Saudi Arabia where the peninsula connects to the mainland and is north and west of the United Arab Emirates. The island country of Bahrain lies some 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Qatar. A territorial dispute with Bahrain was resolved in 2001, when the International Court of Justice awarded the Ḥawār Islands (just off the coast of Qatar) to Bahrain and gave Qatar sovereignty over Janān Island and the ruined fortress-town of Al-Zubārah (on the Qatari mainland). That year Qatar also signed a final border demarcation agreement with Saudi Arabia.
Relief and drainage
Most of Qatar's area is flat, low-lying desert, which rises from the east to a central limestone plateau. Hills rise to about 130 feet (40 metres) along the western and northern coasts, and Abū al-Bawl Hill (335 feet [103 metres]) is the country's highest point. Sand dunes and salt flats, or sabkhahs, are the chief topographical features of the southern and southeastern sectors. Qatar has more than 350 miles (560 km) of coastline; its border with Saudi Arabia is some 37 miles (60 km) long. There are no permanent bodies of fresh water.
Soils in Qatar are marked by a small degree of organic material and are generally calcareous and agriculturally unproductive. Windblown sand dunes are common, and soil distribution over bedrock is light and uneven. Soil salinity is high in coastal regions and in agricultural regions where poor regulation of irrigation has led to increased salinity.
The climate is hot and humid from June to September, with daytime temperatures as high as 122 °F (50 °C). The spring and fall months—April, May, October, and November—are temperate, averaging about 63 °F (17 °C), and the winters are slightly cooler. Precipitation is scarce, with less than 3 inches (75 mm) falling annually (generally in winter).
Plant and animal life
Vegetation is found only in the north, where the country's irrigated farming areas are located and where desert plants blossom briefly during the spring rains. Fauna is limited, and the government has implemented a program to protect the Arabian oryx, Qatar's national animal.
Ethnic groups and languages
Qatar was originally settled by Bedouin nomads from the central part of the Arabian Peninsula. Qatari citizens, however, constitute only a small portion—roughly one-ninth—of the total population today. Economic growth beginning in the 1970s created an economy dependent on foreign workers—mostly from Pakistan, India, and Iran—who now far outnumber nationals. Few Qataris retain a nomadic lifestyle.
Arabic is the official language, and most Qataris speak a dialect of Gulf Arabic similar to that spoken in surrounding states. Modern Standard Arabic is taught in schools, and English is commonly used. Among the large expatriate population, Persian and Urdu are often spoken.
Islam is the official religion, and Qataris are largely Sunni Muslims. There is a small Shīʿite minority. The ruling Āl Thānī (Thānī family) adheres to the same Wahhābī interpretation of Islam as the rulers of Saudi Arabia, though not as strictly. Women, for example, have greater freedom in Qatar than in Saudi Arabia.
Settlement patterns
Qataris are largely urban dwellers; less than 1 percent of the population lives in rural areas. Doha, on the east coast, is Qatar's largest city and commercial centre and contains about half of the emirate's population. It has a deepwater port and an international airport. The main oil port and industrial centre is Umm Saʿīd, to the south of Doha on the eastern coast. Al-Rayyān, just northwest of Doha, is the country's second major urban area. These three cities and many smaller settlements are linked by roads. Of the many islands and coral reefs belonging to Qatar, Ḥālūl, in the Persian Gulf 60 miles (97 km) east of Doha, serves as a collecting and storage point for the country's three offshore oil fields.
Demographic trends
The population of Qatar has been steadily growing; despite a markedly low death rate, however, the country's relatively low birth rate has led to a rate of natural increase that is slightly lower than the world average. Its net migration rate is the highest of any country in the Persian Gulf region and the third highest in the world. Males outnumber females more than three to one—in large part because of the disproportionate number of expatriate males. Likewise due to the high migration rate, the population is largely of working age, with more than 70 percent of the population concentrated in the 15–29 and 30–44 age ranges. The average life expectancy is about 77 years for males and 81 for females.
Qatar's economic prosperity is derived from the extraction and export of petroleum—discovered in 1939 and first produced in 1949—and natural gas. Before World War II, Qatar's population engaged in pearling, fishing, and some trade (with little exception the only occupations available) and was one of the poorest in the world. By the 1970s, however, native Qataris enjoyed one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, despite subsequent declines in income due to fluctuations in world oil prices. Qatar's original oil concession was granted to the Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC), a consortium of European and American firms. This and later concessions were nationalized in the 1970s. While state-owned Qatar Petroleum (formerly Qatar General Petroleum Corporation) oversees oil and gas operations, private corporations continue to play an important role as service companies.
Agriculture and fishing
The government has attempted to modernize the fishing and agriculture sectors by offering interest-free loans; yet food production continues to generate only a tiny fraction of gross domestic product (GDP). The scarcity of fertile land and water imposes severe limitations on agriculture, and a large proportion of the country's food must be imported. Use of treated sewage effluent and desalinated water for irrigation, however, has helped to expand the production of fruits such as dates and melons and vegetables such as tomatoes, squash, and eggplant, which Qatar now exports to other Persian Gulf countries. Production of meat, cereal-grains, and milk also began to increase by the end of the 20th century.
Once the mainstays of Qatar's economy, fishing and pearling have greatly declined in importance. Pearling is almost non-existent, in large part because of Japan's dominant cultured-pearl industry. The government maintains a fishing fleet and since the late 1990s has placed greater emphasis on commercial fishing and shrimp harvesting.
Resources and power
Qatar possesses enormous deposits of natural gas, and its offshore North Field is one of the largest gas fields in the world. The country's petroleum reserves, found both onshore along the western coast at Dukhān and offshore from the eastern coast, are modest by regional standards.
In an attempt to reduce its dependency on oil, Qatar began to develop its natural gas resources in the mid-1990s. To develop its gas fields, Qatar had to borrow heavily, but high oil prices in the early 21st century put the country on more firm financial footing. Qatar's strategy has been to develop its natural gas reserves aggressively through joint projects with major international oil and gas companies, focusing on the North Field. Natural gas surpassed oil as the largest share of the government's revenues and the country's GDP in the first decade of the 21st century.
Qatar has sought to diversify its economy through industrialization. Most of the manufacturing sector comprises large firms of mixed state and foreign private ownership. For example, the Qatar Petrochemical Company is largely owned by a government holding company, and a French firm has a minor stake. Flour milling and cement production have also been undertaken. Diversification by expanding manufacturing depends on an abundance of cheap energy for running plants, however, and is thus tied to Qatar's hydrocarbon resources. Its natural gas reserves have been used to develop a strong liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.
The Qatar Central Bank (Maṣraf Qaṭar al-Markazī), founded in 1993, provides banking functions for the state and issues the Qatari rial, the national currency. In addition to domestic banks, including commercial, development, and Islamic banks (institutions bound by strict religious rules governing transactions), licensed foreign banks are also authorized to operate. Qatar has been generous in its foreign aid disbursements, particularly to other Arab and Islamic countries. The Doha Stock Exchange began operations in 1997.
Machinery and transport equipment, manufactured goods, and food and live animals are Qatar's major imports. LNG, crude petroleum, and refined petroleum account for the bulk of the value of exports. Top import sources for Qatar include the United States, China, Germany, and Japan. Japan, South Korea, and India are among Qatar's most important export destinations. Japan alone receives by far the largest proportion of Qatar's exports, largely in the form of petroleum and petroleum products.
The service sector, including public administration and defense, accounts for roughly half of GDP and employs more than half of the workforce. The country's military expenditure as percentage of gross national product is high, at nearly four times the world average. In an attempt to further diversify Qatar's economy, the government has sought to develop tourism, in particular by promoting the country as a site for international conferences; however, tourism remains a relatively small component of the economy.
Labour and taxation
Foreigners account for the great bulk of Qatar's workforce, a matter of continuing concern for Qatari officials. Qatar has banned the employment of Egyptians since 1996, when the government claimed that Egypt was involved in an unsuccessful coup. The government has actively pursued programs to encourage employing and promoting Qatari nationals in the workforce. However, a five-year plan introduced in 2000 to boost significantly the number of Qataris in the labour force fell far short of its goals. Labour unions and associations are forbidden. As in most countries of the region, the standard workweek is Saturday through Wednesday.
Qatar does not levy taxes on personal income, nor does it have a general sales tax. Foreign corporations (excluding those owned by members of the Gulf Cooperation Council [GCC]) are taxed, but the amount accounts for less than one-tenth of the government's revenue. The bulk of its revenue comes from the sale of petroleum and natural gas. The country set up a general tax authority in late 2018 as it began to expand and reform its tax policies. In 2019 it implemented hefty excise taxes on sugary drinks, tobacco products, energy drinks, alcohol, and pork. Qatar was also set to implement a value-added tax of 5 percent by 2020 in coordination with the GCC.
Transportation and telecommunications
Qatar has more than 760 miles (1,230 km) of road, nearly all of which are paved. There are no railroads. The country has several important ports, including those at Doha and Umm Saʿīd. An international airport is located at Doha, and Qatar Airways is the country's national carrier.
Qatar Public Telecommunications Corporation is the sole provider of telecommunication services in the country. It also sets policies and makes administrative decisions for the sector. In 1996 the Internet was made available to the public, with Qatar Public Telecommunications Corporation as the sole service provider. Internet use is highest among Qatari nationals. A submarine fibre-optic cable system completed in the late 1990s links Qatar with Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait.
Government and society
Constitutional framework
A constitutional emirate with one advisory body, Qatar is ruled by a hereditary emir from the Āl Thānī. Members of the ruling family hold almost all the major ministerial posts, which are appointed by the emir. The family, however, is large and fragmented. As oil revenues rose after World War II, contention within the ruling family grew, and there have been several bloodless palace coups.
The emir's power is constrained by the need to maintain the support of important family members, many of whom occupy high governmental posts. The homogeneity of the ruling family and the country's wealth contribute to Qatar's political stability. The emir has also cautiously expanded political participation, allowing the first municipal elections to take place in 1999, with an electorate that included both female and male Qataris. Under a provisional constitution enacted in 1972, the emir ruled in consultation with a Council of Ministers (Majlis al-Wuzarāʾ) and an appointed Advisory Council (Majlis al-Shūrā). However, a new constitution was approved by referendum in 2003 and enacted in 2005; among its provisions was a new National Assembly, two-thirds of whose members would be popularly elected and one-third appointed.
Qatar's legal system has several sources: the Sharīʿah (Islamic law), Ottoman law, and European civil and (to a lesser extent) common law. The latter was introduced through the borrowing of codes of other European-influenced Arab states. Personal status law is governed largely by the Sharīʿah, while criminal law is influenced but not governed by it. In addition to a Higher Judicial Council, there are also several lower courts and a system of appeals courts. The emir sometimes acts as the final court of appeal. Formal civil and criminal codes were introduced in the 1970s.
Political process
There are no political parties in Qatar. Since 1999, Qataris have been allowed to vote in municipal elections. Voting is open to all citizens aged 18 years and older, except for members of the police and armed forces, and women are allowed to stand for public office.
Military service is voluntary for males aged 18 years and older. Qatar has a small defense force—of some 12,000 troops, most of whom serve in the army—and the country depends on the protection of its neighbours and allies to deter possible external threats. The country's military expenditure as a percentage of GDP, however, is high: five times the world average, more than almost any other country's.
Health and welfare
Health care and medical services are provided free to all residents through government programs. The government also funds recreational and cultural clubs and facilities for young people as part of its extensive "youth welfare" campaign.
Education is free but not compulsory for all citizens between the ages of 6 and 16. Classes are segregated by sex. Qatar spends generously on education, having one of the highest per-pupil expenditures in the world. Its system has expanded rapidly. Two teacher-training faculties, one for men and one for women, were established in 1973, and together they were given university status, as the University of Qatar, in 1977. The university has continued to expand, and a new campus was completed in Doha in 1985. Interest in establishing Qatar as a major regional research hub led to the foundation of Education City, a multi-university facility located on the outskirts of Doha. By the early 21st century several American institutions had branches in Education City, including Virginia Commonwealth University, Weill Cornell Medical College (part of Cornell University), Carnegie Mellon University, Texas A&M University, Northwestern University, and Georgetown University. The universities offered programs such as premedical and medical studies, business administration, chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering, journalism, and fine arts.
The government also provides adult education classes in schools and centres throughout the country, with an emphasis on increasing adult literacy. About four-fifths of the country's population is literate, with roughly equal proportions of males and females.
Cultural life
Daily life and social customs
The Qatari people are descendants of Bedouin and have maintained a tradition of generous hospitality. Qatari society, however, tends to be conservative in most respects and is heavily influenced by Islamic customs. The consumption of alcohol, for example, is frowned upon, although alcohol may be served in a limited number of hotels catering mainly to foreigners. Likewise, dress is generally traditional and conservative. Qatari Arab men usually dress in a flowing white shirt (thawb) and a head scarf (kaffiyeh) held in place by a cord (ʿiqāl). Dress for Qatari women, although still conservative, is much less formal than in neighbouring Saudi Arabia. Many women still wear the full length black cloak (ʿabāyah), generally over Western clothing, but others simply wear the veil (ḥijāb). Their traditional dress is often decorated with gold or silver embroidery. In public the sexes are customarily separated.
Qatari cuisine features fresh fish and rice cooked with Indian spices. A typical meal might include broiled fish served on a bed of spiced rice with curry and potatoes. Coffee is the beverage of choice and is usually served strong, boiling hot, and without sugar. The capital of Doha also abounds in restaurants offering cuisines from throughout the world.
Qataris celebrate the standard Islamic holidays, including Ramadan and the two ʿīds, ʿĪd al-Fiṭr and ʿĪd al-Aḍḥā. They also celebrate several secular holidays, such as Independence Day and the anniversary of the emir's ascension to power.
The arts
The Qatari Fine Arts Society promotes and exhibits work by local painters, as do the handful of galleries to be found in Doha. The National Council for Culture, Arts, and Heritage and several other agencies and departments oversee literary, artistic, and cultural activities as well as recreation and tourism. The traditional Bedouin arts of weaving (mostly rugs and pillows), poetry, and singing are still practiced. A genre of music known as nahmah, once popular among pearl divers in Qatar and the broader Persian Gulf region, virtually disappeared with the decline of the pearling industry, although the Qatari government has made great efforts to preserve it. Arab, Pakistani, Indian, and other expatriate workers have brought their musical styles to the country, but Qatari youth listen more to Western and Arab popular music than to Bedouin or other traditional forms.
Cultural institutions
The National Museum of Qatar, designed by Jean Nouvel and inaugurated in March 2019, takes visitors through interactive exhibits that feature 700 million years of Qatari history. At its centre is a former palace which had previously housed an earlier national museum. A fort at Doha has been converted into a museum for traditional crafts. Qatar's National Theatre performs programs in the capital.
Sports and recreation
Qatar's sports culture blends the traditional sports of Arabia's desert society with contemporary sports of Western origin. Popular traditional sports include Arabian horse racing, camel racing, and falconry, all rooted in the country's nomadic past. Western sports such as basketball, golf, handball, football (soccer), swimming, table tennis, track, and volleyball are practiced widely, but primarily by the expatriate population; football is overwhelmingly the most popular of these. In 2010 it was announced that Qatar would be the site of the finals of the World Cup football competition in 2022, making it the first Middle Eastern country scheduled to host the event. The country also hosts several annual sporting events, of which tennis, golf, and automobile racing are the most notable. The Qatar National Sport Federation, founded in 1961, serves as an organizing body for sports education. Qatar made its Olympic debut at the 1984 Summer Games; the country has never participated in the Winter Games.
Media and publishing
Government-owned radio and television stations broadcast in Arabic, English, French, and Urdu. Satellite television transmissions from outside the country are easily accessible through local providers, and Qatar receives radio broadcasts from the neighbouring gulf states and from such international broadcasters as the BBC World Service. In 1996 media restrictions in Qatar were relaxed—the country's press is among the freest in the region—and that year Al Jazeera, a satellite television network, was founded by a member of the ruling family. The outspoken news channel is received throughout much of the Muslim world and has become one of the most popular stations in the Middle East, as well as one of the most important sources of news in a region where there is little toleration for a free press. It became internationally known in 2001 after broadcasting several speeches and interviews of the militant Islamist Osama bin Laden. Several local daily newspapers and weekly publications are also available in Qatar.

Aftermath of the1933 Reichstag Fire
Illustration source unknown
What we in 2013 are about to be dragged into will be the ultimate Asymmetrical Warfare.
Americans do not tend to think of WARS as Asymmetrical. Most believe that warfare has its own symmetry. Therefore Asymmetrical or "the lack of symmetry" seems impossible to believe because WARS are "symmetrical by nature" in the minds of most people. However a quick glance at recent history proves otherwise.
The NEXT-ATTACK upon America will most likely resemble the 1933 attack upon the Reichstag buildings in Germany. The fire-bombing left that nation without a formal seat of government and opened the door for Hitler to take over in its' wake. Feinstein is already making noises about how "we need another Reichstag in this country."
This is parallel to what PNAC (Project for a New American Century) called for, BEFORE 911, when they said they needed "A New Pearl Harbor".
In the Reichstag Fire, the1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, and the September 11 attacks on the USA: All three false-flag attacks had the same things in common. Each was an orchestrated and encapsulated event in itself. Each involved their populations that had suffered massive and immediate effects which sent shock waves thru their governing bodies that had to be dealt with. Each of these three events changed the course of their own government's original-direction, at the time. False-Flags are used because they tend to work, unless as in our own case they have been overused to the point that the public is more than AWARE of them. History has shown us that these false-flag-events were pivotal. However all-bets-are off-now because for too long this global-government has been using LIES to substitute for the actual reasons for going to war in any case…
Illustration source unknown
Feinstein is seeking the same kind of massive change in the attitude of America's people as soon as 2013 starts. Diane Feinstein wants a radical re-alignment and an end to the Republic in order to massively and simultaneously THREATEN and SHUT-DOWN the American people—just long enough—to create her new fascist-police-state with a minimum of public-resistance.
In her mind and in the minds of those who will carry-out this next attack what should be clear to a stunned US Public: is that "in order to protect most Americans from more-attacks; Martial Law is mandatory and anyone that challenges the coming presidential order will be automatically labeled as a terrorist or worse. During the coming attack and immediate aftermath—no doubt the Constitution loving and determined Americans who reject the inherent panic in such policies, will be demonized. The public will instead be mobilized to CRUSH all resistance to MARTIAL LAW, given the severity of the coming ATTACK—based on the horrific nature of whatever Feinstein & our OWNERS decide to do to us!
ADVANCE FOR TUESDAY, DEC. 7–FILE–The battleship USS Arizona belches smoke as it topples into the sea during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. The ship sank with more than 80 percent of its 1,500-man crew, including Navy radio operator Burton Lowell Carter. (AP Photo)
After Pearl Harbor, where about the same number of Americans were killed, as those who died on 911: America rounded-up Japanese, of American descent, and shipped them to P.O.W. camps in the Western US for the duration of the war. The coming "WAR" will be "unending" (According to Cheney & the architects of the WARS that we are committed to continuing). Unlike conditions in the 1941 internment of the Japanese there will not be a release of anyone classified as a THREAT to the current Police-State that Obama & Company are planning.
Whatever this next-attack turns out to be: It must be so catastrophic that there won't be time to think about what happened or who actually did the next-attack. The military and the traitors will be running the AFTERMATH, and will supposedly kill anyone in the affected zones that does not immediately follow their every thought. That will happen as the scale of the event and the public's fear, combine, to freeze most people in a nationwide PANIC! That's exactly what all such ATTACKS are designed to do. That's also why these tactics are called Asymmetrical Warfare. We must begin to ACT immediately; to prevent the nation from being driven into FEMA-CAMPS or LOCKED into SURRENDERING any more of our already fragmented human-rights—but especially the second-amendment!
This nation is massive and does not compare in any way, to any of the states that we have previously targeted for WAR. The United States has never fought a civilian population as well armed and potentially as well prepared, as the US could turn out to be. This makes virtually everything about the coming false-flag literally "up-for-grabs"!
The so-called powers that be have NOT done their homework. They have put out all kinds of garbage, in leaked supposedly CLASSIFIED memos, about how they plan to arrest and disappear millions of Americans—but they have neither the strength or the back-up for what they might want to threatened us with, this time around.
In cases such as Katrina, a small and devastated area was available which they could SURROUND and take physical control of, once they imported hundreds of thousands of troops and cops—they were able to create something akin to shooting-fish-in-a-barrel, and call it "powerful". The same kind of thing happened in New York during Hurricane Sandy; well defined areas hit hard by the storms, and backed-up by thousands of troops and bodies deep to keep out anyone that wanted to help – that's not power, that's COWARDICE by those who FEAR the people they want to murder, or leave them to die from exposure-as was done in Hurricane Andrew in Florida, (Over 5,700 died) the warm-up for Katrina!
Once the entire nation is put on official notice of MARTIAL LAW then everyone will be responsible for themselves. Cops will be confined to their own areas; so they have nothing like the forces that were so evident during the whole of 2011 against OCCUPY. Places like Oakland California, a total of about 645 cops (NO BACKUP, NO STATE TROOPERS) because every area has to deal with whatever they were originally created to serve. State National Guard units – good luck with that, most of that organization is still fighting other wars outside this country—and as for FOREIGN TROOPS? If they are here already they would have to have been discovered as they need to eat and sleep and have some kind of recreation: So far all the rumors of their impending-presence have yet to be verified.
This nation is massive and the police were not designed to be troops in charge of forcing the public to do whatever traitors want them to do. The public can be a monster, once aroused, and if they decide to confront the droid-cops face-to-face with arms: The cops would be slaughtered on contact and whoever among them survives will end their day by running for their worthless lives. That's what the Feinstein's, the bankers and the Obama criminals FEAR the most—because the people in this huge country outnumber THEM at least a thousand to one.
In Germany at the beginning of WWII, Hitler had too few troops to do what he wanted to do initially; so he bluffed his way until he got comfortable enough to begin to carry out his threats. This country is currently in the same situation—they do NOT have the depth of forces needed to do much except in some isolated places—but TAKE ON THE ENTIRE COUNTRY SIMULTANEOUSLY – no fucking way!
That's why they are trying to spread the VIPER program to attempt to terrify the driving or traveling public in a few locations. If they had to spread their Mickey-mouse forces over an entire state they would be instantly slaughtered. Once the population begins to see through this criminal-charade and hold the cops and their bosses responsible for the hundreds of murders they've committed; then everything will begin to change. Until now there have been no charges, no penalties, and no jail time served – that must happen!
The public has been cowardly, and it might remain so, but if the public finally SNAPS and realizes that THEY'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE – then this entire farce will go up in smoke faster than a grease-fire STRUCK BY THUNDERBOLTS instead of fire retardant. These fools are literally playing with FIRE: possibly with Nitroglycerine as well.
Once cops are ATTACKED, before they're ready for it, and have to deal with the slaughter of some of their own that might signal a whole new kind of day. Cops are not the only ones that can conduct SURPISE-RAIDS in the middle of the night. That will change everything. This so-far one-sided-bullying can't last much longer—because the THREATS being made by this government can't hold-up: They KNOW it and so do those of us that have thought about this shit from time to time.
Someone said this to me yesterday about Disarming Us:
"They already have in any way that matters. The guns are simply a fetish object clung to by idiots who are the metaphoric frogs in boiling water refusing to jump.
Gun owners are cowards, cretins, and convinced that the fig leaf that hides their nakedness is a gun. The gun is defending no ones rights. It may stop a robber, it may kill a cop or two, but against an F-16 it is nothing."
Of course the idiot failed to understand that for the F-16 to be used it must have fuel, weapons and communications to find his or her target. It must also have a base that is secure (food, supplies & communications) as well as the security to venture out among us without getting slaughtered as they routinely are, inside Afghanistan now. Iraq is not much better. Yet the public doesn't know how bad things really are. Those in much smaller places, than anything the size of the USA, are getting their asses kicked in so many more places that it's embarrassing now—which is why we've resorted to drones instead of planes, they're cheaper.
Our aircraft are SHOT after years of war with not enough maintenance to keep them flying: All our priority weapons and funding goes directly to ISRAEL. The US can't even afford to fix its own planes. Our worn-out troops have been damaged by too many tours-of-duty, TOO MUCH DU–EXPOSURE and NO MORALE AT ALL. Why else is the biggest killer of US troops overseas now SUICIDE?
AMERICA at WAR
Is one big bullshit machine!
If this country attacks its own people then all those worthless pigs and politicians and their flunkies will soon discover what it means to
With the worst kinds of criminality while failing to consider that most of those people bought their own weapons intending to fully USE them to the limit – rather than surrender everything to "THE CHOSEN RACE" or to the "EXCEPTIONAL-PEOPLE": Both of whom are already immune to every LAW under the sun?
Here's what the government is threatening us with now. Read some of it – look at the video, and around the web. Decide for yourself if this country is run by TERRORISTS or Americans—because the answer to that question is as clear as the Treasury is NOW-EMPTY! (1)
There's also this CONFLICT OF INTEREST. (2)
1) Obama Would Call on Military to Disarm Americans During National Emergency
2) Zionists Are a Fifth Column in America?

Heat streak at 20 after 98-94 win over 76ers
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- With LeBron James by his side in the locker room, Dwyane Wade took a moment to admire Miami's streak.
"Twenty is special," Wade said. "Win 20 games in a row, it's awesome. You can't get around it. We're going to try to go for the next one."
James and Wade have an NBA championship together, and now they're chasing history.
James scored 27 points and the Miami Heat became the fourth team to win at least 20 consecutive games in a season, beating the Philadelphia 76ers 98-94 on Wednesday night.
"Wherever the game takes us in those 48 minutes, we're ready for it," James said.
Sports Videos
For win No. 20, the game took the Heat down to the wire.
All of Miami's talent wasn't enough put away a Sixers team revved up like it was a playoff game. The Heat had a 10-point lead early in the fourth, but it wasn't enough, at least not yet.
Jrue Holiday, the 76ers' All-Star point guard, showed no fear of the moment when he dunked on a leaping James for the tying bucket.
James came right back and made one of two free throws for a 92-91 lead. Holiday dribbled the ball into Chris Bosh's leg, then off his own foot, leading to Wade's tip for a three-point lead after James missed twice at the rim. James drove from beyond the arc and missed from the right side, he put up his own rebound off the back of the rim, and Wade slid in underneath two Sixers defenders for the bucket.
"I miss two gimmes and D-Wade was able to tip 'em home," James said. "It was just great of him not giving up on the play and putting us up."
The Heat escaped with a scare -- and No. 20.
"When you have a streak like this, you have to have some luck," James said.
Only three teams have won at least 20 consecutive games in the same season: the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33), the 2007-08 Houston Rockets (22) and the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (20). The Washington Capitols also won 20 straight, spanning the end of the 1947-48 season and the start of the 1948-49 campaign.
Unless they wear down, there's no reason to think the Heat can't keep the streak going toward 33. The rest of the road trip includes games at Milwaukee, Toronto, Boston and Cleveland.
Up ahead: Friday night against the Bucks.
"We just think about winning the next game and we'll see where it takes us," James said.
Wade scored 21 as the Heat needed big baskets over the final 2 minutes to top the Sixers for the milestone win. He stuck with the ball on James' misses and scored the clutch tip that made it a three-point lead with 29 seconds left that squashed the Sixers' upset bid.
"It shows you he, like many of our guys, are just willing to make winning plays at the end," coach Erik Spoelstra said.
James and the Heat have started to acknowledge just how special this winning streak is in a season that has them running away with the Eastern Conference.
They opened a five-game road trip as 8� 1/2-point favorites over the slumping Sixers, a team they've defeated three times during the streak. They beat Atlanta on Tuesday for streak win No. 19, then made the flight to Philadelphia that put them in just before dawn.
"You get sleep when you can and do your job," center Chris Bosh said.
Maybe fatigue played a bit of a role in Miami's inability to truly put away the Sixers. Led by Thaddeus Young, the Sixers opened the third quarter on a 16-8 run that helped slice the lead to four. Miami led 71-66 at the end of the quarter.
The Sixers hung around in the fourth, too. Dorell Wright hit a 3-pointer to make it a six-point game and he followed with a steal and fast-break dunk to cut it 82-78. Sixers fans coming to see a slice of history were suddenly rooting for history denied. Philadelphia's fans started going wild to the "Make Some Noise!" sign on the video board and started singing the catchy anthem, "1-2-3-4-5-Sixers!"
In the end, it was more, 18, 19, 20 and counting for the Heat.
Young had 24 points and 15 rebounds for the Sixers. Holiday had 21 points and Evan Turner scored 15.
"At the end, we just couldn't come up with that one rebound," coach Doug Collins said. "I thought we executed, got some shots at the end, and just couldn't quite find a way to get over the top."
Fans in Heat jerseys dotted the arena and dozens packed the baseline three rows deep snapping pictures of Miami's pregame drills. James wowed them with some around-the-back reverses that served as a sneak peek for what was ahead.
James, the reigning MVP, turned the second quarter into his own dunk contest. It helped that he didn't have any competition.
With flair, James threw down thunderous dunks about every time he touched the ball. His best came on a reverse he brought between the legs that had the sellout crowd of 20,398 "Oooohhhh!" in amazement. His dunk capped a 17-2 run that put the Heat up 10 and helped them cruise toward a 51-39 halftime lead.
But the first half wasn't all about James' dazzling dunks. The Heat had 14 assists on 19 baskets and Shane Battier came off the bench to hit a pair of lead-stretching 3-pointers. It's the kind of teamwork that has the Heat rolling.
"You have to have a unique group that are willing to sacrifice, a unique group willing to keep perspective of what we're playing for and not get caught up in all the noise outside," Spoelstra said. "There are so many distractions, not only in this league, but everyday life."
Notes: New Eagles coach Chip Kelly had a lengthy chat outside the locker room with Spoelstra before the game. Kelly had previously made a pregame visit with Collins. ... The Heat have beat the 76ers 14 straight times. ... The Heat missed 15 of 20 3-pointers.

Awesome 3rd AZ Disruptors Lunch
Despite the recent posts about Text Messaging Scams, AZ Disruptors is actually about startups. Software startups. Today, for our 3rd AZ Disruptors lunch, we had a packed house! In fact, we were overflowing and had to stop RSVPs 2 days ago.
The AZ Disruptors offices are also coming along. Contruction of the other half is nearly complete and we are getting excited to have up to five new startups move into this sweet space.
Additionally, we allowed for 5 product demos today. They were short, 5 minute demos and I had every intention of having them recorded and put up here for people to see. I'm extremely bummed that the quality of the recordings were not good enough to be posted and we had some technical difficulties recording some of the demos.
However, here is a brief mention of each:
Scratch Audio by Sean Tierney - Sean demoed Scratch Audio, a web app for browser-based, collaborative multi-track recording. Think of it like this: it's GarageBand in the cloud with multiple users collaborating from across the world to make music together. Nice work!
RunRate by Sean Coleman - RunRate aims to be QuickBooks for the web. Killer features include transaction creation through OCR from a receipt photo and a brilliantly simple user interface. Great job!
Workables by Jonathan Hegranes - Jonathan demoed how fast and easy it is to both find work or find workers who will perform a job. Workables, which is already operational, uses a streamlined UI that reminds me of Twitter. Nicely done!
Virtual Goody Bags by Danielle Fazio - You know the goody bags you get at conferences and they end up in the trash? Well, Virtual Goody Bags has put those bags in the cloud. Instead of junk, you get real offers that you can retrieve by logging into your virtual goody bag. Good stuff!
Grip Innovations by David Saar - David demonstrated control software and media node from their networked audio solution. The "Grip" system eliminates audio consoles and 90% of the cablining used with traditional products.
Also, my apologies to Will Chase for not having time to demo WebtacularCMS. They've created a CMS system that allows users to setup full-featured web sites in as little as 3 minutes.

What could be a new holiday trend in New Bern has popped up in a few shops and restaurants since Thanksgiving.
What could be a new holiday trend in New Bern has popped up in a few shops and restaurants since Thanksgiving.
In Carolina Bagel Company and Deli on Trent Road, a large wreath hangs on the wall near the counter with ornaments made of cards with senior citizens� first names on them and a wish they have for Christmas � small things like a jacket, a gown, pajamas or a gift certificate.
This is the first holiday in New Bern for �Be a Santa to a Senior,� a program initiated by Home Instead Senior Care, which is partnering with area retailers and community organizations to make sure isolated seniors receive gifts and companionship this holiday.
Jeff Wood, owner of Carolina Bagel, said he plans to participate in the program every year.
�It�s a lot like the Toys for Tots concept, only for seniors,� Wood said. �I think it is awesome. We�ve had a wonderful response.�
Wood said that after nearly two weeks, they have replenished the names on the wreath three times because of the response from customers.
Kim Bhor, a customer at Carolina Bagel on Wednesday, said she things it�s a great idea.
�I think we tend to forget about the seniors at this time of year and think more about the children,� she said. �We always think someone else is taking care of them. My father is in his 70s and we take care of him. But a lot of people don�t have anyone. We have a lot of transplants here with no families and there are widows and widowers.�
Off Commerce Drive, the Funky Monkees also has a wreath on the wall with seniors� names and wishes for the holiday.
Allyson Bobbitt, owner of the gift shop, said it is a wonderful idea.
�A lot of people ask about it because there are so many seniors who don�t have family here,� she said.
Lee Norris, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving New Bern, said with so many older adults living alone and in poverty, some New Bern-area seniors will undoubtedly be struggling to make ends meet this holiday season.
�Seniors faced with medical bills and the high cost of living can find they have little left at the end of the year,� Norris said in a statement. �That�s not the only issue, though. Personal needs may become magnified for so many living alone with no one to share their problems.�
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 9 percent of U.S. seniors 65 and older are living in poverty and 27 percent are widowed.
The Be a Santa to a Senior program runs through Dec. 14. Christmas trees or wreaths, with the names and wishes of seniors can be found at The Funky Monkees, 1324 Commerce Drive; Carolina Bagel, 3601 Trent Road; Ratio Theatre Company, 901 Pollock St.; East Carolina Bank, 1801 Glenburnie Road; Realo Discount Drugs, 1301 Commerce Drive; Advanced Attraction Salon, 204 Craven St.; and New Bern Mall on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
A gift wrapping party will be Dec. 15 about 9 a.m. at 3601 Trent Road. On Dec. 22, starting at 9 a.m., the gifts will be delivered. Anyone who wants to volunteer is welcome.
Norris said she collected names and gift ideas from mostly assisted living facilities, including Two Rivers Healthcare Neuse, Sterling House, The Courtyards at Berne Village, Homeplace Assisted Living, Bayview Nursing and Rehab, Good Shepherd Home For The Aged, New Bern Towers, and Croatan Village; and organizations like Meals on Wheels and Religious Community Services.
School children from Arthur W. Edwards and Graham A. Barden elementary schools; and children from Garber United Methodist Church are making handmade cards and gift bags to go along with the gifts, Norris said.
Holiday shoppers may pick up an ornament off special Be a Santa to a Senior Christmas trees or wreaths, buy items on the list and return them unwrapped to the store, along with the ornament attached. The Home Instead Senior Care office will collect, wrap and distribute the gifts.
�Be a Santa to a Senior is another way to say �thank you� to the many seniors who have made such important contributions to our community throughout the years,� Norris said. �Helping a needy older adult can bring fulfillment to the giver as well as the receiver � it does make a difference.�

For 18 months, Kim DeAngelo went through a battery of tests and and incorrect diagnoses.
For 18 months, Kim DeAngelo went through a battery of tests and and incorrect diagnoses.
Relief came when she was diagnosed with Chiari malformation.
The Dublin resident will host unite@night in Carriage Place Park, 4900 Sawmill Road, June 29 to raise money and awareness about the disorder she is still struggling with today.
Three years ago, the Indian Run Elementary School teacher was enjoying spring break with her children when she felt the first symptoms of the disorder that causes the lower tips of the brain to slip through the hole in the bottom of the skull and block the flow of fluid.
"When I look back, I can remember everything," DeAngelo said.
"(The kids) were watching Scooby Doo," she said.
"I sat down to send an email and I couldn't see. I was 32, healthy and had two kids."
Her vision came back to a degree, but she couldn't think of words and the right side of her body went numb.
After a visit to the ER and eight hours of testing, some symptoms subsided, although the numbness persisted -- and still does today.
The disorder has kept DeAngleo from returning to work as a teacher.
Over the next few months, DeAngelo experienced more symptoms and was diagnosed with migraines, a common occurance for people with the disorder.
"I didn't find out what it was until 18 months later," DeAngelo said.
"First, there were a lot of migraine diagnoses," she said. "I was on many different medications."
DeAngelo's first brain surgery was in 2010. Cancer was suspected, but soon ruled out.
Symptoms got worse and DeAngelo went through more tests. She had to rely on a cane or wheelchair to get around because her balance was so bad she often fell down.
"I was tested for every autoimmune disorder under the sun," she said.
DeAngelo was finally diagnosed with Chiari malformation and went to a special Milwaukee center in August 2011.
Before her second brain surgery, DeAngelo had lost most of her vision, experienced numbness and couldn't hear out of her right ear.
During surgery, doctors removed a part of her skull and brain, while adding tissue to part of the brain to help it heal and function.
"When I woke up in the ICU, I could already tell my vision was better," she said.
Symptoms began to disappear as DeAngelo recovered from surgery.
She was told she might not have to have decompression surgery every four years, as some Chiari malformation sufferers do.
A car accident in February caused a head injury and brought back symptoms.
It also made her realize the importance of this year's unite@night event.
"When I hosted the walk last year, I loved that I was healthy enough to do it," she said.
"The accident put a different spin on it this year," DeAngelo said.
"I've remembered just how bad some of the symptoms are. I've been reliving it the past few months."
Unite@night begins at 6 p.m. June 29 with registration.
The walk starts at 7:30 p.m. and is free. Donations and raffles will raise money for research and education.
Face painting, balloons, crafts and games will be available to children while others complete a one-mile walk around Carriage Place Park.
"People will be using canes, wheelchairs (and) walkers," DeAngelo said, "but no one will end the walk alone."
The walk will also serve as a chance for people with Chiari malformation and related illnesses to get together.
"It's really a horrible, debilitating disorder that doesn't have a cure," DeAngelo said.
"The most important piece is the people. It's about getting people together, regardless of how they get across the finish line."
DeAngelo hopes to soon start a local Chiari chapter that will work toward support and education about the disorder.
"I've taken it upon myself to educate others about (Chiari)," DeAngelo said. "It's highly misunderstood and tremendously misdiagnosed."
To register or get more information about the event, look online at unitenight.kintera.org/ Columbus.

Health Professions PathwaysBelmont University Health Professions Pathways provide academically qualified students the opportunity to enhance their undergraduate study with a unique connection to the university's clinical doctoral programs in occupational therapy and physical therapy.
The program challenges you academically, prepares you for exclusive opportunity, and rewards you with preferential consideration for admission to one of two doctoral programs in the health sciences upon your successful completion of a Belmont bachelor's degree.
A Unique ConnectionBelmont University Health Professions Pathways offer academically qualified students who attain a bachelor's degree from Belmont University the opportunity to receive preferred consideration for entry into one of two doctoral programs offered at the university—in occupational therapy and physical therapy.
As a Belmont undergraduate, you may pursue a major in any field of study. Pathway courses (prerequisites) must be completed successfully as part of your bachelor's degree. When you apply for admission to one of Belmont's doctoral programs in the health sciences, you will be guaranteed an interview opportunity for a place in the program's entering class by meeting the minimum qualifications outlined.
With a solid interview and application file (as determined by program faculty), Pathways students will be offered first opportunity to join the entering class for the doctoral program to which they applied. While not a guarantee of admission, the Pathways program provides preferred applicant status, which is extremely beneficial in competitive admissions environments such as these.
Applicants from Belmont will automatically be considered for the Pathways program when they apply to one of the University's doctoral programs in occupational therapy or physical therapy meeting regular/priority admission deadlines (late applicants are not eligible). There is no additional Pathways application required. Applicants who do not meet Pathways qualifications will still be given full consideration for admission, but without preferred applicant status.
Qualifications for Health Professions PathwaysTo gain consideration as a Pathways applicant to Belmont doctoral programs in occupational therapy or physical therapy, students must meet the following minimum requirements:
1) Completion of a bachelor's degree from Belmont University with a cumulative GPA
of 3.5 or higher, including coursework from any previous colleges or universities.

Dana Moriconi had supported Eric Cantor for years, largely without reservation. The retired 59-year-old and her husband had even hosted events for the Virginia congressman, and saw him rise to become the second-most powerful Republican in the House.
But on Wednesday she reported again for a shift at the campaign headquarters for Dave Brat, the local economics professor whose upset over the House majority leader had confounded just about everyone in Washington and sparked new debate over the course of the GOP.
For Moriconi, her change in loyalties had less to do with policy than with her fundamental view of what a public servant should be about.
"Cantor was good for a while," Moriconi said. But, she added, "term limits need to be enacted. It becomes a career move rather than what people need or want."
Though Washington was seeking to draw lessons of national import from a bitter campaign, the sense that Cantor had become disconnected from the constituents he'd represented for more than 13 years was the dominant view of Brat supporters who streamed in and out of his headquarters Wednesday.
Perhaps a fitting illustration of that is the fact that Cantor's own campaign office wasn't located in the district. His longtime political advisor ran the campaign out of office space for his firm in the Reagan Building on Richmond's Main Street, where there were materials for other campaigns alongside the "Cantor for Congress" signs.
Brat, 49, is a former seminary student turned PhD economist who used both backgrounds to his advantage in the campaign. An economics professor for nearly two decades at the small Randolph-Macon College, he pounded Cantor on economic issues and vowed to support a balanced-budget amendment, term limits and a flat or "fair tax."
"I am running against Cantor because he does not represent the citizens of the 7th District, but rather large corporations seeking insider deals, crony bailouts and a constant supply of low-wage workers," he said in an op-ed in the Richmond Times-Dispatch published the week before the vote.
Brat, a Roman Catholic, frequently invoked his faith during the campaign. Cantor is the lone Jewish Republican in the House.
In an interview with a conservative blog in January, Brat said he "felt called to seminary," and had intended to teach systematic theology and moral philosophy. But he "got the itch" for politics during a semester in Washington with Wesley Theological Seminary.
Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, a Republican, said Cantor faced a unique dilemma in the race as a member of House leadership.
"The bigger factor I think in this race was not the fact that he lost tea party voters — I think everyone knew that was going to happen," he said. "I think there were just a lot of traditional Republicans out there who have grown so frustrated with Washington or with the Congress, and fairly or unfairly Eric was the recipient of that frustration."
Bolling credited Brat with running a strong campaign that captured the conservative base's frustration with establishment leaders. But he said Brat had not always positioned himself on the right of the party, and actually once worked for a Republican state senator considered to be one of the body's more moderate members.
"He never struck me as a tea party guy," Bolling said. "I think he might have seen an opportunity here to play a role."
Brat's victory was without precedent. No majority leader has ever been unseated in a primary since the position was created in 1899. Not even the most astute political observer truly expected the seven-term incumbent to lose the primary race, especially not after he'd outspent his rival nearly 40 to 1. An internal poll conducted by Team Cantor in late May had the incumbent leading 62% to 28%.
The Brat campaign was run by a 23-year-old political novice armed with a Wal-Mart flip phone. "The cheapest one I could find," said campaign manager Zachary Werrell. He had but one paid assistant.
Cantor publicly projected confidence, but he was running in some new territory because of redistricting in 2010, in a district that stretches west and north from Richmond toward some exurban counties west of Washington.
The state Legislature, with his support, had added some more heavily Republican areas to his district, and it was those areas where Brat won by some of his largest margins.
Werrell said he first had a glimmer they had a chance when the GOP leader greeted Brat's entry into the race in January with a sledgehammer response: declaring him a liberal protege of the state's previous Democratic governor, Tim Kaine. And the attacks only intensified.
In April, Cantor began an advertising campaign that dubbed his rival a "liberal professor" and questioned his role on a large advisory board for Kaine when the governor raised taxes in the state.
In May, he sent direct-mail pieces touting his opposition to the "Obama-Reid amnesty plan," a sign of the potency of Brat's attacks on Cantor for supporting legal status for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.
It may have backfired.
"It wasn't the kind of challenge that needed to be smothered," said a Virginia Republican strategist unaffiliated with either campaign, who requested anonymity to discuss the outcome candidly. "The fact is that in this district people didn't know who David Brat was. This was not a viable challenge until the Cantor people elevated it themselves.
"I think this one tactical decision played a larger role in the overall outcome than a lot of people think."


text: Yelena Isinbayeva's return to Samsung Diamond League action and a red-hot showdown in the men's high hurdles will be just a pair of the expected highlights at the Herculis Meeting in Monaco on Friday (20), the final major stop before the Athletics world turns its full attention to the Olympic Games in London.Isinbayeva, the World record holder in the Pole Vault, will be one of six reigning Olympic champions – seven current World champions are on the programme as well - who've been attracted to the sun-drenched Principality for their final pre-London tune-ups, but her appearance here will be one of the most eagerly anticipated. Since she began her rise in the ranks back in 2003, the Russian, now 30, is very much at home here. She's a resident of Monaco, trains on the Stade Louis II track, and set one of her numerous World records here. That 5.04m leap in 2008 came just three weeks prior to another World record which brought her a second successive Olympic title and solidified her stature as the event's preeminent shining star. Her fortunes waned over the next several seasons, a period during which she struggled to reignite a passion for the event she so long dominated while others gradually narrowed the wide gap she created. Last winter she signaled that the old Isinbayeva was back, first by improving her World indoor record to 5.01m and then taking the World indoor title in Istanbul, her first global medal of any kind since her triumph in Beijing.She's competed just once outdoors, topping 4.75m in Sotteville-lès-Rouen, France, nine days ago. She'll be aiming for something higher in Monaco tomorrow night, and she'll likely need it too if she wishes to extend her unbeaten streak to seven. The field includes World champion Fabiana Murer, who topped 4.77m to win in New York; freshly crowned European champion Jirina Ptacnikova (4.65 SB); German Silke Spiegelburg, who has a 4.76m to her credit this season; and Briton Holly Bleasdale, who's scaled 4.71 and 4.70 in two of her last three appearances.Merritt looking to lock in to his rhythmWhile Isinbayeva will reveal a bit more about her pre-London form on Friday night, there's no denying that one of the hottest runners on the circuit at the moment is Aries Merritt. Istanbul was also a turning point for Merritt, the U.S. hurdler who's clearly entered another level since taking the World indoor crown in the 60m Hurdles. A 13.12 hurdler a year ago, the 26-year-old improved to 13.03 in early May and has since produced sizzling back-to-back 12.93 performances to win the brutally competitive U.S. trials late last month, and in London Samsung Diamond League last weekend.He'll again face the World champion, Jason Richardson, who continued rise in the event included two 12.98 performances at the U.S. trials. Most recently he clocked 13.06 to finish second to Merritt in London. The quality field also includes the top two from the European Championships, Sergey Shubenkov from Russia and Garfield Darien from France, Olympic-bound American Jeff Porter, and US record holder David Oliver who despite missing out on London has a fast 13.13 to his name this season.Okagbare takes the spotlight at 100mThe dynamics of the women's 100m shifted a bit after last weekend's race in London when Nigeria's Blessing Okagbare surprised a strong field with her 11.01 victory after clocking her first wind-legal sub-11 (10.99) in the heats. That won't elevate the 23-year-old into the role of Olympic favourite, but it will put the former NCAA standout and Olympic bronze medallist in the Long Jump into the spotlight.The field includes U.S. Trials runner-up Tianna Madison (10.96 PB, SB), a former World champion in the Long Jump; Jamaican Kerron Stewart, the double Olympic silver medallist four years ago, and European champion Ivet Lalova of Bulgaria.James-Merritt rematch at 400mThe stand-out sprint on the men's programme will likely be the 400m pitting reigning World champion Kirani James against the Olympic champion LaShawn Merritt. Merritt is unbeaten in six finals this season, arrives as the world leader at 44.12 and clearly the man to beat. He brings an eight-meet win streak over the distance to Monaco, his last loss coming to James in the Daegu final. James, still just 19, has raced sparingly this season but does arrive with the momentum of a 44.85 victory from the London Samsung Diamond League stop.Given the field, this one has the makings of an Olympic final preview: Daegu bronze medallist Kevin Borlee, Dominican Luguelin Santos who recently won the World Junior title and European champion from Helsinki Pawel Maslak are also in the field.The men's 200m looks to be a showdown between Dutchman Churandy Martina and U.S. champion Wallace Spearmon. Martina improved his personal best and the national record to 19.94 in New York prior to collecting the European title, while Spearmon, a three-time World championships medallist in the event, took the U.S. title with a wind-aided 19.82. He'll arrive in Monaco unbeaten over the distance in five starts this season. Also in the field is Nickel Ashmeade, fourth at the Jamaican Trials, who also has a 19.94 to his credit this year.Kiprop wants a fast raceTurning our attention to the middle distances, the focus falls on reigning World and Olympic champion Asbel Kiprop, who has come to Monaco in search of a fast race for his final pre-Olympic tune-up.The 23-year-old opened on an up note, improving his career best to 3:29:78 for second in Doha and won Mile races in Eugene and Oslo before finishing third at the Kenyan Trials.He'll have some fast company mainly in Nixon Chepseba, the runner-up at the Kenyan Trials who won a fast race in Hengelo with a personal best 3:29.90. Others to watch include Morocco's perennial speedster Amine Laalou (3:31.92 SB), Kenyan Bethwell Birgen (3:31.17 PB, SB) and U.S. champion Leo Manzano.Meanwhile in the women's 800m, a fast race is in the cards with U.S. champion Alysia Montano leading the field. The 26-year-old has fond memories of Monaco, the site of her 1:57.34 career best back in 2010. She's come tantalisingly close to that this season after her 1:57.37 victory in the Eugene Diamond League fixture. This will be her first race since her victory at the U.S. trials.The field also includes Caster Semenya, the 2009 World champion and silver medallist last year, who's clocked 1:59.18 this season, along with Russians Yelena Kofanova and Irina Maracheva who have both dipped under 1:58 this season for the first time.Another record assault for Koech?The men's 3000m Steeplechase will be all about Paul Kipsiele Koech who has produced three of the season's four fastest times courtesy of his Samsung Diamond League victories in Rome, Doha and Paris. At 7:54.31, Rome was particularly fast, the second quickest of all-time.Organisers are hoping that the Kenyan will mount an assault on the 7:53.64 stadium record set by Brimin Kipruto last year. Such a performance would almost certainly result in the World record that Kipruto missed by just 0.01. Given the right conditions, Saif Saaeed Shaheen's World mark, set nearly eight years ago, is not outside the realm of possibility.On paper his chief opposition will be compatriot Richard Mateelong, who notched a career best 7:56.81 when finishing second to Koech in Doha.In the women's 3000m, Kenyan Sylvia Kibet, the 2009 and 2011 World silver medallist at 5000m, is the main attraction. Look for Ethiopians Azemra Gebru (8:44.41) and Buze Diriba (8:44.62) to look for a fast race, along with American Jenny Simpson, the World 1500m champion and U.S. record holder in the 3000m Steeplechase.Demus vs Walker in 400m HurdlesRounding out the action on the track is the women's 400m Hurdles, which like the men's 400m flat, features the reigning World and Olympic champions. Jamaican Melaine Walker won in Beijing but will need to find form considerably faster than her current 54.62 season's best would indicate. Conversely, Daegu winner Lashinda Demus is gradually working her way into top form, and will make her first appearance since her 53.98 victory at the U.S. trials. Czech Denisa Rosolová, a former heptathlete, is making a name for herself in the full lap hurdles as well. She took silver at the European Championships last month with a 54.24 PB, currently the sixth fastest in the world.Moving onto the infield..In the men's High Jump, the battle looks to be between World champion Jesse Williams and European champion Robbie Grabarz of Great Britain. Both have topped 2.36m this season, with Williams winning in New York and finishing runner-up in Doha and Rome while Grabarz won Rome and took second in New York. Another jumper to watch is Erik Kynard, the two-time NCAA champion who scaled 2.34m this year, and who will be making his professional debut ahead of his first Olympic appearance.In the men's Long Jump, Australian Mitchell Watt (8.28m SB) brings the momentum of his London victory to the Riviera but will face some stiff opposition. European champion Sebastian Bayer (8.34m SB) of Germany is in the field along with U.S. champion Marquise Goodwin (8.33m PB, SB) and South African Olympic silver medallist Godfrey Mokoena (8.29m SB). Defending Olympic champion Irving Saladino will be jumping as well, but with just a 7.87m season's best, is a shadow of his former self.Caterine Ibarguen of Colombia and Olga Rypakova of Kazakhstan are the class of the women's Triple Jump field. Ibarguen, the winner in London last weekend and the Daegu bronze medallist last year, has jumped 14.95m at altitude this season and has won her last three meetings. Rypakova meanwhile, the Daegu silver medallist, has collected Diamond League victories in Doha and New York and finished second in Rome with a 14.73m season's best.The women's Discus Throw field also includes the reigning Olympic champion, Stephanie Brown-Trafton of the US, who improved her career best to 67.74 earlier this season. She'll be joined by most of the world's current best on form, including Croatia's twice European champion Sandra Perkovic (68.24 PB, SB), and Germany's Nadine Muller and Yarelis Barrios of Cuba who've improved their career bests to 68.89m and 68.03m this season respectively.Meanwhile, the men's Javelin Throw contest is wide open, with three of this season's 86-metre men in the field. Vadims Vasilevskis of Latvia has the best credentials with an 86.50m season's best, marginally ahead of Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Pyatnytsya (86.12m) and New Zealander Stuart Farquhar, who's reached 86.31m.Non-Diamond League actionIn non-Diamond League action, men's 800m specialists will be putting in one final high intensity two-lap run. It'll be a particularly important one for Abubaker Kaki who despite one sub-1:44 effort this season, will be looking for a confidence booster after a sub-par 1:46 run in London last weekend. U.S. champion Nick Symmonds, European silver medallist Andreas Bube of Denmark, and reigning World Youth champion Leonard Kosehncha are also in the field.The first events on the track will feature 4x100m Relay action highlighted by the appearance of the London-bound U.S. squads. In the women's race, Allyson Felix and Carmelita Jeter will be teaming-up against squads from France and The Netherlands. In the men's contest, teams from the U.S., France, Italy, Canada and Hong Kong will be competing. U.S. record holder Tyson Gay and U.S. trials winner Justin Gatlin will be among the competitors.Bob Ramsak for the IAAFClick here for entry lists and timetable

Talk:Vehicles in GTA San Andreas
| This talk page is for discussing the Vehicles in GTA San Andreas article.
This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
You should be able to see that I have started a table for all the vehicles in San Andreas. There are a few things I'd like to talk over before we go any further.
Firstly, should we have separate tables (or parts of the table) for different types of vehicles, such as sports cars and industrial vehicles? It is a good way of making things easy to find. But if we do, the page will still be quite cluttered (compared to the simple list we had before).
Secondly, do we need a description field for every vehicle? I was thinking of a single sentence such as "The fastest sports car in the game, available when you get all-gold at Driving School". If we do not separate into types then we definitely need descriptions. Also bear in mind that
Thirdly, do we even need a table? We could just have a few lists for each type of vehicle - this is the simplest and tydiest suggestion, but means we can't have any thumbnails or description. But then again, do we even need those? This is meant to be a list of vehicles. But on the other hand, if all we want is an alphabetical list, that's what a Category is for.
So we have four main choices: 1) Lists sorted into types, 2) Tables in types, 4) Tables in types with descriptions, 3) Single table with descriptions
Any input you guys could give me would be appreciated - Xenon (?) 21:41, 7 May 2007 (BST)
- IMO first of all we should definitely have categories, e.g. Bikes, Trucks, Sports Cars, Family Cars etc. Secondly, I don't think descriptions and thumbnails are particularly necessary, but I guess they would be useful to some, thumbnails more than descriptions anyway. A single long table though is a definite no-no.--Chris 21:45, 7 May 2007 (BST)
- You'd rather have a table with no thumbnails or descriptions then? Howabout running the lists horizontally, with one cell for each type of vehicle - allows for easy finding of vehicles and takes up a lot less space. For example:
|Sports Cars
|Banshee | Bullet | Cheetah | Comet | Hotknife | Hotring Racer | Infernus | Super GT | Turismo | ZR-350 | Euros
|Sports Cars

- As long as you keep the vertical list alphabetical its great. The horizontal one is just retarded for this purpose. Font could be bigger for table heading though. --Chris 22:15, 7 May 2007 (BST)
--MattyDienhoff 15:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC) Okay I've implemented the 2nd one of those tables. None of the vehicles have links yet, and the lists are not yet alphabeticalised. Also need to make sure all SAVehicles are actually listed and spelt correctly.Xenon (?) 22:59, 7 May 2007 (BST)
--Saintsrow2fan2010 02:17, July 6, 2010 (UTC) Do we need the tram on the table because you can never obtain it so it is only a texture. Where is the Jetpack or the Parachute
Hey fellas, a few suggestions.
- Move Elegy, Flash, Jester, Sultan and Uranus from Muscle Cars to Sports Cars. These vehicles aren't muscle cars by any definition.
- Move Perennial, Regina, Solair and Stratum from SUV to 4 Door.
- Move Moonbeam from SUV to Vans.
- Rename SUV to the more catch-all 4WD/Utility.
- Finally, move Bobcat, Yosemite, Sadler and Walton from Vans to 4WD/Utility
--MattyDienhoff 08:48, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- They're all pretty good, although I dont think the Flash etc should really be defined as sports cars, since they aren't awesome and fast and convertible (which is more the purpose of that section). Perhaps rename muscle cars to something else that defines small powerful cars? As for the other edits, Be Bold and hit the edit button. Thanks for discussing them here first, it's annoying when people totally reorganise things without asking. Gboyers talk 11:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, the Flash could go into 2 Door, but that's already crowded enough as it is unless we can make the columns longer (I'm not sure how and I'd rather not mess it up trying to find out), and I think the Flash is sufficiently fast and sleek to be counted as a sports car, especially considering it's one of the Wheel Arch Angels crowd, same goes with the rest. Following that train of thought, though, perhaps we could create a new category, Tuners, for those cars?
"As for the other edits, Be Bold and hit the edit button."
- I would, but it's kinda protected. ;) --MattyDienhoff 15:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- That was to stop people messing it up every day. It isn't protected now, and so long as people ASK before they make changes, it can stay that way. Gboyers talk 16:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm going ahead with the other edits, but I'm still thinking about how to handle the first one. It seems the Elegy, Flash, Jester, Sultan and Uranus are categorical orphans, as, like you said, they don't quite fit into Sports Cars, but it seems a bit unfair to lump them in with the likes of the Manana and the Bravura in 2 Doors instead. Here's an idea...
- Move Buffalo and Phoenix into Sports Cars.
- Move Clover and Sabre into 2 Door.
- Rename Muscle Cars to Tuners, to accomodate the vehicles modifiable at Wheel Arch Angels.
- What do you think? --MattyDienhoff 11:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
How about creating a Sport Coupe subcategorization, since it seems that cars like the Elegy, which do not necessarily fall into either the Sports Car or Muscle Car designations, are better defined as 2-door sport coupes, since they are not 2-seaters like the sports cars, but do not have the engine to be classified as muscle cars. This idea could then be applied to the creation of a Sport Sedan subcategory for cars such as the Sultan. What does everyone think? EganioTalk 20:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Smells of overcategorization to me, I'm afraid. I don't see the sense in creating two new categories (Sport Coupe and Sport Sedan) for vehicles that could more easily fit into one category Tuners, especially since Sport Sedan would only contain one car. I think we should just can Muscle Cars as it's a very subjective term and the line between it and 2 Doors is a very blurred one indeed. The Sabre and the Clover are considered muscle cars, but the Stallion isn't?
- Creating a new category, Tuners, for the vehicles that can be modified at Wheel Arch Angels (vehicles which are generally higher performance than regular passenger cars but still not quite sports cars) makes the most sense, I think, and is more consistent with the thinking behind the Lowriders category, which is exclusively for vehicles that can be modified at Loco Low Co (hence the reason the Tahoma is listed there and not in 4 Door). --MattyDienhoff 05:36, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, point well taken. What you suggested makes sense. I also agree with you that the category Muscle Cars is defunct, as 1) no one other than Americans (and maybe Aussies) use the term in any meaningful way, and 2) there are cars in there that hardly fit the standards for qualifying as a mucle car, specifically the Elegy, Flash, Sultan, Uranus, and Jester, leaving only a few entries. These I think should just be partitioned into their body type category, i.e. 2-door, etc. And as far as Sports Cars are concerned, as far as I understand the term, it refers to high performance 2-seaters, which excludes the Buffalo (and maybe the Phoenix?), so I would be cautious as to what I put in there. EganioTalk 08:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Is there a chart or guide on which vehicles bring the highest SexAppeal? --Funka! 04:45, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Suggestion here: Where it has the Pony (or Rumpo, cbf pressing back to check), it simply mentions the off-road wheels, and not the "fully sick sound system" (a couple of speakers), in the back of the van. That's why i kept it lol.
Ess-Tee 06:08, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
hey got some ideas you might like:
1. add a new category of vehicle types, and give the name: Trailers. and add Utility Trailer and Tractor Trailer to it.
2. add RC Cam to RC Vehicles
- Please place replies at the end of a section. No one will be reading recent replies from the top.--Spaceeinstein 01:04, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Get rid of the tram Saintsrow2fan2010 02:19, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
If the Tram is passing as a vehicle, whty don't add the LHD-069 and USS Numnutz.
Those aren't vehicles, and quit adding them in. --Gta-mysteries Talk 10:12, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
- In this game, a vehicle is a valid model in the "cars" section of an IDE file. We should use this as the definition.--spaceeinstein 12:49, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
Combine Planes & Helicopters to Aircraft and Include Brown Streak, Freight and Tram into a Trains Column
Bikes and Pushbikes
The Bikes and Pushbikes should be in seperate colums
Spawning Locations & Days Page
I want to compile a chart basically containing the best when and where to find any specific car.
- I will make it's own page so not to add more clutter here, just wanted to discuss options here before i create a page and leave it empty...
As I've been adding vehicle locations on some of the rarer ones, I've noticed not only is spawning based on what you are driving, but also what day of the week it is.
- I emailed Rockstar to see if i could get a list from the programmers, but no luck.
I'll start it as a MS word doc, but I'll need help on how to put a big chart onto the site. A-Z every vehicle, what can be seen while driving it when and where. Sonmething like this i guess:
|While driving this
|spawns this Sunday
|spawns this Monday
All suggestions welcome. I could also just do small charts like that on each vehicles page under location. Make a more defined way to find a vehicle you are looking for.
Also, once its up, Its going to be a lot of blanks to fill in, so help would be appreciated. I started a chart for driving Perennial sat in one location for 1 whole week. I'll be putting that up on its talk page, maybe make some sense of it from there. Some vehicles always show with it, some only certain days, and some only certain time of day. --NssJ 05:26, 7 October 2011 (BST)
