text: Hi all, Here's an interesting notion-- while much debate rages, on imc-alternatives and elsewhere-- about the future of Indymedia, I thought it might be interesting to try to quantify the website health of US based IMC collectives. Using the following metrics, a team could go together though the us imc websites and gather data to answer following questions. Then, the numbers could be tweaked-- either weighted via a percentage or curved based on overall rank. This info could then be shared with the broader IMC community. I know that "defining" health would obviously be the most difficult part of this task, as it always is in this kind of research. The items below are only a very preliminary stab at a metric. Obviously, a healthy web collective will: make features; get input (in the form of newswire posts) from its local community, and moderate (in some form, even if is only to hide gibberish and porn) the newswire (because the question of newswire moderation is so fraught with disagreement, my idea would be to count the bare-minimum of moderation and nothing more). If I were to weight these, I'd weight contributions from local community as #1, followed by moderation and features as a tied #2. what do people think about this notion? And how would people add to / change the metrics? best, Chris NYC IMC --- Mapping the Health of US Based IMCs # of features posted over 6 mos # of local newswire items posted in the past 3 months # of spam posts (unhidden) in 2 weeks (spam defined as: pornography; gibberish / nonsense posts; posts that say test) --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

Former ACP President: 'We Have to be More Efficient'
David L. Bronson, MD, is immediate past president of the 133,000-member American College of Physicians—the largest medical specialty group in the nation.
During an interview Monday, Bronson, who also is president of Cleveland Clinic Regional Hospitals, explained why he thinks attendance was up at the organization's annual meeting this month in San Francisco. He also discussed what he views as internal medicine's biggest concerns.
HLM: This year's ACP conference was better attended than ever. Why was this meeting the biggest? Arguably we are just coming out of a major recession that hurt medical conference attendance throughout all specialties.
DB: People are trying to figure out where we are, and how we respond to health reform changes that all of us in American medicine are facing.
HLM: Do you get the sense that no, there's a realization that things will move forward, the Supreme Court has affirmed the legality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Obama administration is committed to moving ahead? That push has now come to shove?
DB: That's exactly right. The ACOs are forming across the country, and there's a lot of pressure, even outside these ACOs, in terms of financial stressors in the states, and small businesses that affect (health plan) contracts. So people are trying to figure out, how do we get ready for this, and respond?

Farley is an obvious right facing lieback flake, just uphill from Scheister. starts as easy fingers and thin hands, and develops into a physical lieback. Most people only do the first pitch and lower/rap off the bolted anchor, but you can continue up the wide chimney.
Just uphill from Scheister and Blue Velvet.
cams. .5 camalot to 3 camalot. You can place a #4 camalot, and a second #3 would be ideal.
Fun route. There's good stances to rest and place gear every 6-8 feet. Be sure to use them, otherwise you'll get super pumped.
Everyone got me all riled up about this route's "physical-ness," "hard 5.9-ness" etc. It is not hard for the grade and it did not seem strenuous to me either. And I'm not really that strong...so let that inspire you if you have any doubts!
Only 3 stars? This is one of the most obvious and gorgeous lines on the east face. It's not a hard 5.9 but super classic!
This is a great and very fun line. It is very straight forward, which can be good or bad depending on the climber. Bottom line if you are there DO IT!!!!
One protection bolt replaced on last pitch in 2011 thanks to support from the ASCA.
I was warned that it is pumpy and physically demanding, but it really isn't. Good stances and slabby. I only brought one #3 and one #4, definitely not enough. Would have much rather had two #3s...
onsight freesolo. amazing
Just wanted to echo Nick_Cov's comment. It looks intimidating and pumpy from the ground, but there are quite a few good stances to rest and place gear. There's a surprising number of good holds on the flake itself, and good footholds on the right face. Two #3's and a #4 work great thru the top section. After Leading it, I did TR it only lie-backing the whole thing - now that is pumpy!
This is actually a three pitch route, although I am sure lots of folks only do the first. The third pitch was fun, but heady as I remember it. Only one or two bolts on the knobby wall section in a 60ish' span.
This is not a climb to be taken lightly. One climber has already died on the first pitch. The crack gets too wide for placing ordinary protection from a layback position, so if a climber misses the tiny foothold shelf on the outside of the flake halfway to the xenolith, and doesn't stop to stick a piece deep into the narrowing recesses of the crack, it becomes a run for the xenolith, with a groundfall to the shelf far below a very real possibility. Also, you really should try the whole route. Taking the knobby traverse 5.7 variation on the 3rd pitch will have you doing Spiderman imitations right above the lip of the Grand Illusion roof, with nothing but open air between you and the main drag of the Hamlet of Kyburz, far below. AND...when you get to the top of the 5.7, don't take the anticlimactic slog to the right or left along the seam of the huge summit boulder, followed by an even more anticlimactic walk up the backside to the summit. Instead, take one of the two direct finish variations that I bolted in the early 90s. The 2-bolt 5.10b that I called "Farley Mowat" goes straight up from the finish of the 5.7, on the left side of the gully going down to Grand Illusion. A few steps to the right, directly above the Grand Illusion gully, is the 1-bolt 5.10a "Never Cry Wolf". I fell on that one before I put in the bolt, and as my last pro was at my feet when I started up, it was a dandy fall, complete with an A-C separation of my shoulder and nearly going off the Grand Illusion roof. So clip my bolts and enjoy a thrilling finish to a great climb. When you get to the top, look for the belay bolts I placed so that you can be secure against a partner's fall, a definite possibility on either of the direct finishes.
Whoa, whoa there Gordy. There is absolutely no reason that you should be risking a ground fall on Farley. You can sew the first pitch up top to bottom. Even at the top where it gets wide, if you brought something big you can place it. I actually don't think Farley is all that great of a route, but I would hate for someone to miss out on it because of your description.
I was a newish 5.9 leader at the time, and was super intimidated by this climb, but onsighted no problem! Plenty of stances to place pieces.

Boy, Khate was so mad at Jon during the passport part of the episode I thought her head would spin around and she would vomit pea soup. Oh, and by the way, you Kate Sheeple, go to another site and spew your nonsense. Not wanted here.
I just can't fathom speaking to anyone like she spoke to Jon. IN FRONT OF HIS KIDS,TOO!. There is no way you can profess to be a christian and speak so ugly to anyone. "Out of the mouth, the heart speaketh."
I need to google narcissism and see how many are affected by it....it would explain the random sheeple that come and go here...
for the LIFE of me, I cannot understand how people think she is a good mother. that jon is lazy....uhh...duh....wasn't he the one that played with the kids? bathed the kids? put the kids to bed? got the twins ready for school? all the while, during the day, kate had help, and the kids took 4 hour naps..Jon has all the proof he needs for a custody battle.
TLC and Kate can try to spin her all they want to.. a judge is going to see through all the BULLSHIT. It doesn't matter if they did manage to sway the public (ahem, the 'peasants") into thinking she was somehow a good parent. All that matters is what the JUDGE thinks. DUH

So at the very, very end of the show - literally the last shot of Kate - did anyone catch the botox smile? Right before they fade out she smiles and there's a clear paralysis delay in her grin... my hubby is a physician and he was like, "My God, if that woman denies botox after that her plastic surgeon should slap her unconscious." Nice.
Wow Jill, that was a good catch! I just watched in on youtube and I can't believe how obvious and disgusting it was! I just want to know where Radaronline, or ET is to expose this - 'cause you know, if it was Jon it would be plastered all over the scandal news outlets. - 11/19/2009 12:08 PM

TLC took raw footage of the hot day the kids went swimming instead of filming as TLC had planned and turned it into a anti-Jon show.(snipped) In reality he was being a GOOD dad by telling TLC that it was too hot and the kids wanted to swim and he let them swim. He refused to allow TLC to dictate what his kids would do in the heat.
Then Kate made it even "worse" by saying something about the only thing the kids did when they were with Jon was swim!
Few children are so blessed as to have parents who can afford their own pool. What better way is there for little kids to spend a hot summer day?
I believe what she actually said was that the whole summer mostly all the kids did everyday was swimming. - 11/19/2009 12:57 PM

The point about leaving Joel on the floor and not being WATCHED is a good one. When my kids were small and they felt "vomitus", (you know, right before it happens?) they'd cry for me or their dad. They were scared of what was to come. We'd have a bucket or take them to the toilet and stay WITH them, hold their hair back, rub their backs etc. COMFORT them! How could she just leave him there? How was he going to even find the bucket in the dark all by himself? How would she even hear him? She'll stand over the laundry tub and rub that comforter till the cows come home, but God forbid you rub or hold your sick child for any amount of time. HOW THE HELL DID SHE NURSE?? Can you imagine even the cleaning staff at a hospital having that reaction to some vomit?
TLC must see ratings are failing...There lawsuit and Kate are not giving it enough hype.. here is what I found on the ratings for this show!
"Even with all of "the end is near" hype from TLC, "Jon & Kate Plus 8" series failed to find any kind of significant ratings surge Monday.
TLC aired two episodes of the troubled series back to back on Monday. The first drew 1.9 million viewers. The second attracted an audience of 2.3 million. So the average audience for the hour is 2.1 million or only 2 percent of the TVs set in use from 9 to 10 p.m.
By comparison, "WW II in HD," a documentary on the Second World War drew 2.6 milllion to the History Channel Monday night. "Little People," the TLC series that precedes "Jon & Kate" was seen by 1.65 million viewers -- and "Little People" costs TLC a fraction of what it costs to make "Jon & Kate" this season" - 11/20/2009 7:18 AM

Answer: because of their sheer number, the kids never got the level of attention they'd get with a parent. It was like they were in day care and not home with a parent--and not a very good day care, at that.
Kate speaks to them and relates to them much more like a teacher than a parent. She even seems to have the same level of attachment to the kids that a teacher has. She doesn't know them that well, but there's one she likes a little better because she's neat and hands out the glue, another she likes a little less because she screams constantly--but she has to be strict with all of them so they don't behave badly and get her in trouble with the principal for not controlling the class! Next year, she'll have a different pet and a different scapegoat, in next year's junior kindergarten!
I can see isolating a sick kid in a school situation for a little while to help maintain order or prevent germs from spreading. The difference is, that kid would be picked up by the parents or sent to the nurse's office, where he'd be fussed over, eventually. The Gosselins never got that level of care, it seems, or if they did, it was from the secret nanny this struggling family supposedly couldn't afford. - 11/20/2009 10:33 AM
"She'll stand over the laundry tub and rub that comforter till the cows come home, but God forbid you rub or hold your sick child for any amount of time."
What's more, you know that the second she whined about the comforters and sheets being thrown up on, someone showed up at her doorstep with a whole new set. She has said that before. Anytime she says on the show that she is in need of something, there's always at least a few people who fall all over themselves to be of service. Just think, Kate, about the millions of moms around the world who don't get that kind of royal treatment and STILL find a way to care more about their sick children than the ruined linens. Would you sacrifice your own sleep to go to Joel's side in the middle of the night if he was throwing up and crying for his mommy? You love to tell us that there is nothing in the world you wouldn't do for your kids...except maybe give them a warm, soft bed to sleep in when they're ill and refrain from telling them that because they dared to get sick, they have made your life and your day ten times more horrible.
I couldn't believe that she would sit there and complain that Joel being sick doubled her workload for the day, on top of everything else she had to do. Well, Kate, here's a fun idea. How about you tell us five of those oh-so-big-and-important things you had to do? Sit on that couch and talk about yourself to the cameras? Pat yourself on the back for being such a fantastic mom? Set up a little bed for your vomiting child on the laundry room floor? Answer the door for the line of nannies, housekeepers, helper girls, and yardwork assistants who were there to do 98 percent of the work for you? Is that what you had to do? Oh, Kate, I am so sorry. Poor you! Barking orders and watching other people do the dirty work must be terribly exhausting. - 11/20/2009 10:56 AM

God forbid the boys bedroom does not have 3 beds with matching sheets. Kate has 2 mutliples births you know... - 11/20/2009 3:14 PM
About Joel on the laundry room floor, I had a hard time with that too. I can't tell you how many times my son, thinking me was doing me a favor, would lean over his bed when getting sick, so he would hit the carpet instead of his bedding. The bedding would have been easier to clean. But I didn't care; he was sick, and I coddled him. Didn't stick him on a cold floor by himself.
I did just rewatch that episode and she was sick in the same episode, only she was on the comfy chair with a blanket on her and kids massaging her. Joel couldn't get that treatment from her? If she vomited, would she put herself on the laundry room floor too?
Whoever just posted that she's more like a school teacher actually hit the nail on the head. More like a school marm. - 11/21/2009 9:51 AM
Minka's Tail said, "Kate speaks to them and relates to them much more like a teacher than a parent. She even seems to have the same level of attachment to the kids that a teacher has."
As a teacher, I resent this statement. Most teachers relate much better to their students than Kate does to her children. Most of us are more attached to our students than she is to her kids. And if we teach in secondary school, we have at least ten times as many students as she has children. The problem is that Kate is apparently incapable of being attached to anyone. Perhaps it's because she's invested all her emotional energy in being attached to herself. - 11/21/2009 10:43 AM

Reblogged from Diane Ravitch's blog:
When the first news of the school shootings in Connecticut was reported, there were many inaccuracies, which is inevitable. One source said 20 were dead, another said "nearly 30." Some said the shooter's mother was a teacher at the school (not true), then said she was a substitute teacher (also not true). The name of the killer was wrong.
Only now is the full story emerging.

Sad, Happy, Reflective, Emotional ....... If this music doesn't get deep inside your inner being, then you're way too busy (or think you are) and in need of a serious quiet time to realign with God, family and realizing just how precious our short lives are.
Although I kind of have to agree that Ambient music can indeed be the background or better soundtrack for doing other things, there are many artists in this genre whose music is quite rewarding when actually listened to.
Love Can Do It!
When I listen to Moonwater and close my eyes, I'm transported to the beach on the album cover. It's a beautiful place where I can connect with a spirit of peace and freedom, and cast my troubles away into the ocean.
My family laughed at me when I started getting into ambient music years ago, But it didn't stop me from enjoying it, and exposing them to more of it. Now they also listen to it and even buy it! This music is the real soul music! it reaches into my heart, my soul and holds my hand while I navigate through tasks that I can be easily distracted from. This music helps to fuse my will to my soul and them to my physical being and once they are all aligned I can happily focus and be productive!
I like turtles
..time will see us realign...
allows my soul to realign to the right frequency.
The very heart of Ambient music is your ability to multi-task when experiencing the music. Sometimes, when you least expect it, the music will grab you and force you back. Demanding your listening attention. That's true Ambient music. You can listen or do other things and the music will regain your attention. You'll say, wow this is great music. I love this stuff.
Curious, isn't it....it seems like most of the people commenting on the music describe it as pure "background" ; something to listen to when you're busy doing something else?
I ESPECIALLY like the funeral home reference: if I were a musician, I'm not sure I'd particularly want to be known as background for the dead.
Course, what the hell do I know?

I work at a funeral home- this is perfect for me to work to without offending everyone trying to grieve
A mental escape and not distracting - great background music while working on a report or some other detailed task.

I think that our biology (our nature) helps determine whether we are prone to developing this way or that. I think that people's biology helps raise the percentages....like this male has a 90% at being gay or this female has a 40% chance. The people that are 50% tend to be bisexual in my opinion because their environment gives them positive and negative experiences with both male and female people. On that note, I think that people will gain experiences with both genders that will seat an impression of what they will desire in a partner later in life, but I doubt that it has that much influence. It's more of a slight deciding factor. So in short, nature is the bulk, but nurture does contribute (however little).
Here is a video posted on youtube that may help answer some questions. Its defintelty of a mature nature and should not be viewed at work or by prudes or by anyone offended by animals behaving "unnaturally." I'm hoping it will put to rest the fact that the folowing topics do in fact happen in nature, and not just by "disgusting humans." Masturbation (both male and female). Fisting. Licking (male/female) Inter-species sex. Inter-species masturbation. Gay/Lesbian sex (only "lesbian" is shown in this vid, but I have seen a gay donkey going at it (yes, anal and to the point of ejaculation.))
These are not tamed animals, nor at a zoo. Just animals having fun. like we do.
I like to find vids like this just to prove to the fundies out there that being GBLTGPQ??? Is perfectly normal. http://youtu.be/5vQ-bqC7wEw

Crackdown: The Hells Angels headquarters in Fairfield, which was raided last week. Photo: Penny Stephens
The Hells Angels may have shot their own clubhouse to try to make police believe they were the victims of a revenge attack.
Police are also confident they know which Hells Angels are hiding the high-powered weapons that 700 police could not find in the largest operation targeting a single bikie gang in Victoria's history.
Detective Superintendent Peter De Santo from the Echo taskforce said an AK-47 and M1 carbine were being hidden by two gang members. The guns have been linked to at least four shootings targeting three rival gang clubhouses and businesses in the past four months.
He also said the shooting of the Darkside chapter clubhouse in Seaford on October 10, the day after businesses linked to the Comanchero were blasted with high-powered gunfire, may have been committed by the Hells Angels.
Only one .22 round hit the clubhouse but a factory next door was peppered with AK-47 fire.
"We're looking at one aspect that the agitators in this, the Hells Angels, actually shot up their own clubhouse," Detective Superintendent De Santo said.
"Maybe [they were trying] to turn the investigators away from looking at them as the aggressors in the feud that's going on."
Detective Superintendent De Santo said that the taskforce would continue searching for the guns.
"We've got pretty strong leads on the persons within the gang. I make no bones about it, [they're] in possession of the Hells Angels and two people within the Hells Angels."
Guns, ammunition, other weapons, drugs and $50,000 cash were seized during the operation last Thursday, which resulted in the arrest of 13 people including high-ranking Hells Angels members. East County chapter serjeant-at-arms Peter Hewat was charged with 17 offences.

March 20, 2010 How is Obamacare like the sub-prime mortgage mess?
I wonder if anyone else is struck by the similarity between the collapse of the financial system in the last two years due to finagling in the subprime mortgage market* and the current vote on ObamaCare. Let's look at the parallels.
The fast-talking salesman - the president is in this role, selling very forcefully a program he doesn't fully understand, hasn't fully studied and the consequences for which he expects to take no responsibility. The ignorant buyer - The ignorant buyer is not so much the public, which smells a rat and does not want to see hospitals and doctors' offices turned into post offices, but rather Congress which thinks it is getting something for nothing and getting paid for it (in logrolling) to boot! The teaser rate - vote for it now; nothing bad happens until 2014. Nobody has read the documents. One of the heroes of Michael Lewis' book, Dr. Michael Burry, was noteworthy for actually getting the prospectuses of the subprime bond offerings, but he was the only one in the story who actually read them. This includes the managements of the selling firms, the managements of the buying firms and participants in the transactions on both sides. Nobody could be bothered to do their homework. Same with ObamaCare. The more important the decision, the less effort goes into it. That is certainly proving out once again in the ObamaCare process. So, nobody is in charge, although everybody takes their compensation - on Wall Street and in Congress. Who will be responsible and pick up the pieces? The public, as we are doing in the Wall Street mess to the tune of $2 trillion. What could dwarf the subprime mortgage losses of $2 trillion?You guessed it. ObamaCare. Only the federal government can operate in this league, making a loss of $2 trillion look small. We are probably on the road to a loss of $1 trillion per year. Where do we go to get our health care back? Oops. No Ben Bernanke to make it all well this time. This is for real - rationing, delays, "quality of life" decisions (death panels), drug restrictions... When it blows up and we are lying in gurneys in dirty hallways for 30+ hours waiting for health care, who will take responsibility? Take a look at this video. It should make everybody's blood run cold. "..John. The election is over." (Obama responding to a criticism from John McCain that he (Obama) had not fulfilled his campaign promise of an open process for health care). That is going to be the answer we get when it all blows up. In the immortal words of Richard Nixon's press secretary, "all previous statements are inoperative." * Michael Lewis has written what is likely to be the definitive narrative of the subprime mortgage crisis in his book The Big Short which is just out and has been justifiably praised as a great read offering both factual and moral insight. Lewis was excellently interviewed on 60 Minutes by Steve Kroft which is available on video here. |

7 Reasons to Build Platforms over Websites
Recently, I had a privilege to post, on official Cognifide's blog, my thoughts why building platforms over websites can be a better approach. This article is a result of experience gained in past year while working on Investec Platform.
Below is a excerpt of my post, 7 reason to build platforms over websites:
Building new websites based on Digital Marketing Suites like Adobe CQ or Sitecore is one of Cognifide's specialisations. For some of our clients, like Investec and Roche, we have built dozens of them. But we realized some time ago that if there is a constant need to launch new websites, building one after another is generally, not the smartest and most cost-effective approach. The approach which we have proposed, implemented and now proved to be successful is to build a platform instead of replicating dozens of independent websites. When I say "platform" I'm thinking of an application, built on top of the Digital Marketing Suite, which is capable of hosting multiple sites. Yet, is still flexible; each website has the autonomy to customize design, layouts, functionality and also expose a number of extension points so that adding new functionality is easy!
Below are key benefits for the business which the platform brought:
- Quicker time-to-market – it now takes us, 1 day from request submission to the point where the new website is ready for content entry. We are able to be this responsive because we have a set of standard designs; a set of components and most important, the flexibility to lay pages out in almost, an arbitrary way. There is no need to do any development to set up new website; it all can be done by configuration at the platform level.
- Quicker content entry – their editorial team has been trained to use the platform, they know what the platform can do and how to fully utilize all of the available functionality. We don't have to teach them everything from scratch for each website. They are effective because they work in an environment which they are quite familiar with.
- Lower costs of launching new websites – as I said before; setting up a new website now does not involve any development. There is a bit of configuration that needs to be done and on top of that, new domains have to be set up, which is of course, inevitable. However, the entire process takes only a few days for the engineering team.
- Lower risk – risk of launching another website is minimal. All elements have been tested before and are already stable in production environment.
- Easier brand governance – all websites live on a single platform which makes changing anything trivial. Single platform also enforces consistency, assets re-use, easier maintenance.
- Improved scalability – process of building a website is always the same. It's well defined, which means that it's easier to outsource some tasks/aspects to external agencies. And as more companies/agencies can work on the platform, it is easier to scale and jump from 1 -2 launched websites per month to 20- 30+ .
- Greater reuse and sharing of components built across the platform – there are always new cases, new requirements or new systems to integrate with. Component implemented once, can be re-used across entire platform, all other microsites can use it. It's a massive reduction of costs.

The Post of the Day is from VRWC
Note from Dan: "VRWC" is shorthand for Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, a poster who has been on this blog for while. On a lot of issues we don't always (or usually?) agree, but we've gotten to know each other and I have a lot of respect for him, and for his career. Below, he displays an interesting and open-minded view of an issue that's been hot on this board today.
"There are able bodied people who won't work and there are able bodied people who would work if they could. My guess (only a guess) is that the number one reason able bodied people don't work is because they have a drug or other criminal charge in their background. It is difficult, almost impossible for people who have done time to get a job.
Many/most companies would hire people with records and give them a second chance. They used to do that. Now, if a company hires someone with a record, it is an added liability to that company if that person does something wrong. As a country we need to decide if people are forgiven and can restart their lives after they do their time or if we going to have to support them forever because we aren't going to give them a chance.
Obviously, some/many of them would screw up their chance and commit more crimes, but some/many would get a job and support themselves and not be a problem. If this country is going to put a lot of people in jail and eventually release them, we need to give the ones who are released a chance to have a life after jail. It's not much of a life if a person gets released from jail but is told he/she can't work around the public or anyplace with a future, where they could prove themselves and advance their career."

Ammunition (M320) |
After the release of Close Quarters DLC, all players now have access to this ammunition type for their M320/GP30 launchers. Instead of detonating on impact (40mm Frag), the projectile uses a 3-second timed fuse. The blast and damage are comparable to a hand grenade, and kills are awarded as grenade launcher kills despite firing a grenade. The LVG inflicts little to no striking damage and cannot break walls or cover of decent protection. The LVG grenade has a lower velocity than 40mm smoke or Frag, but flies almost twice as fast as thrown grenades. Its blast radius is shorter than that of hand grenades, but has a larger blast radius than 40mm Frag grenades.
40mm LVGs have a glowing orange "live grenade" icon like hand grenades, making them useful as a visual deterrent. Earning kills with the weapon often means firing into crowds where visibility and movement are reduced, attacking distant targets so they don't have time to react, or placing the grenade around corners ahead of moving infantry.

Tiny has always been just that. He's 14 years old and about four feet tall. His gray Levi's hang off him despite the belt he wears wrapped around his waist twice. He looks about 8, and no one would suspect him of inflicting harm. That's one of the reasons Tiny -- as his street name is translated -- makes an effective assassin.
I met Tiny one afternoon not long ago in Medellín, Colombia. He strutted up to me on the street and stood on his toes to kiss my cheek. Then he handed me two warm Chiclets. I had come to Colombia to report on a legal loophole in its Minor's Code that allows kids under 18 to kill without being held responsible. After weeks of trying to persuade gang bosses to let me spend time with their young charges, I was finally introduced to Tiny, who told me his story over the next six weeks.
Tiny has carried out most of his hits with his best friend, El Ratón, ''the mouse.'' They have been best friends for as long as they can remember. ''We say 'cousins' because we're always hanging around each other,'' Tiny said. Neither one goes to school anymore. Now they are partners. One early evening, as we sat in the courtyard of the house that belongs to a one-legged man who cooks for the boys, they recounted to me a murder and robbery they had done last year.

Sweet Potato Pie...c/p
Find a Conversation
Mon, 09-15-2003 - 11:23am |
Joe was the ol' mans name.
He hailed from the land of
Magnolia blosoms,
wrap-around-porches and
Sweet Potato Pie.
A slow southern drawl,
thick as honey.
He sported a hand carved walking cane.
"Made this here one myse'f
when I wuz jus' ten," he boasted.
Ol' Joe smoked like a chimney stack.
Cherry scented, cheap cigar smoke
hung heavy in the air like a rain cloud.
Thick,yellowed nails from years of puffing.
His long, slender fingers
curled around the smelly stogie.
"Been smokin' since I wuz a young one,"
as he took another drag.
He walked with a slight limp.
But that didn't keep him
from his daily mile walk to town
to fetch his newspaper.
How ol' Joe loved to read.
With his horn rimmed glasses
perched on his nose.
"Learnt t' read b'for O could write,"
he flashed a toothless grin.
Ol' Joe sure could cook up a storm.
The smell of chicken frying
and corn muffins baking
permeated the entire house.
And that Sweet Potatoe Pie-
what dreams are made of!
Every Saturday he'd call me on up
to his small, but tidy place.
We'd gorge ourselves till nearly ill!
"When Mama died, I got t' cookin."
Eyes bright as a noon day sun,
with a wit to match.
Nothing slipped by ol' Joe.
Oh, and what stories he would tell!
"I 'memeber a time when...",he always started.
And I knew I was in for a treat.
True or not,
didn't matter much.
He liked to embellish.
I knew that too,
but never let on.
When holidays rolled around
ol' Joe was the life of the party.
Dancing in the rain on Labor Day.
Handing out candy to the kids
on Halloween, adding
" better show me some tricks
for this here treat,"
he'd roar through his monster mask.
Ol' Joe wasn't much on giving gifts
at Christmastime, except to me.
I always got a bottle of cologne,
with some fancy French name
I couldn't even say.
Don't even make it anymore.
His favorite time of year was always
the hot and steamy days of summer.
We'd sit out on the porch,
sipping homemade iced tea
with real lemon slices floating on top-
none of that instant stuff.
I felt lucky, real lucky if
ol' Joe would have some of that
luscious Sweet Potato Pie left over.
A taste so rich and creamy,
with just a hint of lemon.
He refused to tell the secret.
"This here wuz granmamas recipie,"
he'd shoot me a wide smile.
One night last winter
ol' Joe died in his sleep,
peacefully I pray.
They found him slumped over
in his favorite chair,
clutching "A Road Less Traveled."
Heart failure they said.
He was a young eighty seven.
I remember him telling me,
"It ain't the dying that's hard,
it's the livin'."
My friend told me alot of things...
But he never did reveal
the recipie for his
Sweet Potatoe Pie.
*I made a few changes from the original, Rhonda pointed out a few cliches'...even though they seemed to fit so well....adieu cliches'...touche'...
anything else need to go? LOL,Char

Your character portrayal comes to life; Joe bounces off the screen. Excellent!
Now don't get mad - if this one were mine, I'd write it in prose. Try it - just to see if you like it . . . you can always put it back.

Local Jacksonville media is just as stubborn as the national media when it comes to "Tebow to Jags" chatter
When watching the local news last week in Jacksonville, the opening introduction said this:
"Tebow is in town. Does the hometown hero sign with Jacksonville? Jag fans certainly hope so."
After hearing that comment, I looked at the TV in disgust and asked myself "Is this real life?"
Being a Jacksonville native, Jaguar fans are used to hearing a select group obsess about getting hometown hero Tim Tebow in a Jags uniform. And that was even before it was reported Peyton Manning was going to sign with the Broncos. Now, Manning is close to finalizing a 5 year $95 million dollar deal that will most likely cause Denver to release Tebow if the Broncos can't find a team willing to trade for him.
Already, many people are rolling the red carpet out for Tim Tebow to return home.
Time for the Jacksonville Jaguars to step up and do the right thing for business: Go out & get Tim Tebow.
— darren rovell (@darrenrovell) March 19, 2012
The national media has always pushed the issue of "Tebow for the Jags" in which they drum up the usual "BUT HE WILL SELL TICKETS" nonsense, to which most local fans just associate with a lack of research on their part. ESPN's Adam Schefter placed Jacksonville as Tebow's top destination on Monday Night's SportsCenter. Here's the transcript:
"None is more obvious than the Jacksonville Jaguars, who with one trade can replace the tarps they've used to cover seats with TebowMania instead. Tebow's from Jacksonville. He would sell tickets, inject excitement, make the Jaguars more relevant than they've been since David Garrard led Jacksonville to a memorable playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. And all it takes is one simple deal."
It's one thing when the national media gets caught up in the Tebow to Jacksonville hype. That's predictable if not frustrating. It's completely ridiculous though when the local media and city representatives get caught up in that hype...
Let's start with Action News Jax reporter Dee Registre, who not only spelled Peyton Manning's name wrong in her article, but also managed to gather the 5 Florida Gator fans who are usually the culprit of any Tebow Bronco jerseys you may see around town to spout the same "he would sell tickets" arguments.
Former Jags receiver Jimmy Smith fired off a few tweets of his own saying the Jags need to call Tebow immediately and that he would "consider coming out of retirement if the Jags got Tebow." Really Jimmy?
But what really irked many locals around town is Orlando Sentinel writer Mike Bianchi, who fell into the national argument of the Jags needing Tebow to become relevant. Bianchi reasoned the Jaguars "need to go out and bring Tebow back home where he belongs."
But that's not the worst part, Bianchi goes on to say this beauty of a statement:
"And please, stop this ridiculous rhetoric about how the Jaguars have already invested a first-round draft pick in quarterback Blaine Gabbert last year and just signed Chad Henne. Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne? Really? Seriously? Last I checked, there was no "HenneMania" taking over the entire country. And I certainly don't recall "Gabberting" becoming an international craze."
So let me get this straight - the Jaguars have not had a blackout since 2009, but need help selling tickets and Tebow is the cure because "HenneMania" doesn't exist and "Gabberting" was never a trend?
Gabbert certainly didn't have the best rookie season in NFL history, but what worse of a situation could a rookie QB walk into than a lockout threatened season, no offseason camps, a lame-duck coaching staff, no receiver help, no offensive line support, one of the toughest schedules in the league and a veteran QB that was released a couple weeks before the season?
Does it get worse than that? And in spite of that, do you know the identity of the one starting QB that had a lower completion percentage than Blaine Gabbert last year?
Tim Tebow.
You can't cut ties with a first round QB after one season with so many extenuating circumstances. But according to local media pundits like Bianchi, we NEED Tebow because he can.... well.... sell jerseys and other football fans around the country know what number he wears.
Yes, Tebow is from Jacksonville and went to the University of Florida, but that doesn't mean he's a quality long term QB solution in the NFL. He's a great kid and an inspiration to many, but what sells tickets isn't media hype. It's the ability to win, consistently. Bringing Tebow to the Jags would sell 2k tickets to Gator fans in the short term but would piss off the dedicated fan base of 50k+ that already go to games. While it would please some in the short term, it would set the franchise backwards in the long term.
The next few months promise to see TebowMania rise again, especially in Jacksonville. But to the Jacksonville and national media who think the Jaguars need Tebow....this is my response...

Investors in the international bond markets appear to be extremely confident about the outlook for inflation. However, writes Thorsten Polleti, the policies used to lower inflation are no longer fully in place. Money supply indicators have been abandoned but not been replaced with anything but central-banker discretion. That's why investor inflation expectations reflect a great deal of excess confidence.

Discretion is the New Rule

The unwillingness to keep money and credit supply expansion in line with output gains represents a serious risk to the principle of sound money, even though current consumer price inflation is relatively low.
Amen to that, brother. However, one wonders how to determine what expansion of the money and credit supply would be appropriate for what output gains. My understanding of economics is that, in both cases, the correct answer is zero.
- March 20, 2006 at 10:33 am
I agree. If there has to be fiat money then its supply should not be increased (i.e. the "price level" should be allowed to gradually decline in line with economic growth as it has many times in history).
Even Milton Friedman accepted that the "monetary base" should be frozen – thus giving up his old position that it should be increased at the same speed as economic growth in order to produce a "stable price level" (Dr Friedman accepted that central banks or other institutions can not be trusted to achieve this over the long term).
As for what is happening at the moment.
In most major nations the money supply (which ever one of the "Ms" we choose to look at) is growing fast.
This is being reflected in asset price rises (share bubbles, property bubbles and so on)as well as a general "price level" that is not falling in line with economic growth (i.e. the capital struture is being distorted and a consumer credit boom has been generated).
The future.
Most major nations, including the United States, have a large government deficit, this will get worse as the economy goes into recession (a recession perhaps triggered when one of the credit bubbles bursts).
The United States will then face a choice.
It could increase taxes in order to try and pay its creditors (this will just make the slump worse).
It could issue more money (i.e. the Fed and other financial institutions could play more credit money games) – which would mean open inflation and a collapse in the confidence in the Dollar.
Or it could default on the national debt – or at least that part of it owed to people and institutions overseas.
This third last option would also have a downside.
Of course the government could cut other government spending in order to pay its creditors – but do not hold you breath waiting for the scrapping of unconstitutional programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
- March 20, 2006 at 2:11 pm
I remember seeing an interview with Friedman in it, some time ago. It was on C-Span. Friedman appeared to criticize the very existence of the federal reserve and central bank. Since he obviously doesn't support a gold standard, or completely 'free' banking, does he endorse the quasi-central system which was in place before the Fed?
- March 20, 2006 at 3:33 pm
Hi Gavin,
Indeed, Milton Friedman was (and presumably is) criticial of government run central banks. His reasoning: central banker will inevitable cause costly policy mistakes and/or commit fraud. Friedman recommends to (i) make them independent and (ii) subject them to a strict rule, that is expanding money supply at a constant rate. He does not subscribe to free banking, fearing the government could start meddling into such a system (by, for instance, issuing its own money etc.).
As it seems, however, central banks are now doing away with any limits imposed upon them as far as discretionary scope is concerned. - March 20, 2006 at 7:08 pm
As I recall, Milton Friedman spoke of using a computer to determine the money supply increase which he would try to tie to growth. His estimate was that average growth over the years has been 4% and therefore the money supply growth should also be 4%.
Trouble with Milton is that he doesn't seem to understand that the 4% increase is not across the board as in his famous "helicopters dropping money" fable. He doesn't discuss the fact that his 4% increase is a transfer of wealth TO those who get the new money first FROM the others. He doesn't seem to accept the proposal by Austrians that there is no social good derived by increasing the money supply.
I wonder if he understands this point or if he simply believes that no government will forego the pleasure of using inflation to raise taxes "behind the backs" of the populace who are generally ignorant of economics. Thus he sets a target of 4% inflation instead of 0%. He has often spoken of getting from here to where we want to be, but never admits that we never get where we want to be under his recomendations.
But as I recall, Milton must now be in his mid-90s (born 1912 I believe) and so who knows what he is capable of thinking about today.

The author's implicit faith in rule-based central banking gets a VERY faint response from me. Vis a vis (blatant) discretion, rules can be wrong, they can be evaded (jimmied about to purpose), and the data can be wrong, as well. By wrong, I mean to include rendered obsolete or irrelevant by novel practices brought about by the very rules themselves.
To concern oneself with rules governing the policies of central banks is to overlook the elephant standing in the middle of the room: government-run monetary systems.
I hate to be so pure (doctrinaire) as to be irrelevant, but I just can't get around the essential evil of government-run monetary systems. I have no hope of seeing them overthrown, but then, I never thought I'd live to see Germany reunified, or the Soviet Union stand down, either.

One need look no further than your front door to see the fallacy. How many houses are flipping in your neighborhood? Houses do not change much, they depreciate at best. Yet the housing price spiral in America actually represents the asset of last resort during an massive monetary value loss, aka inflation. This one is masked by current perception of prosperity

I agree that the international monetary system is a shambles, however I have to make the point that I disagree with Thorsten's analysis. Just because bond yields are low does not mean that investors are expecting lower inflation. The argument for this is based on the idea that bondholders will 'accept' only higher yields if inflation is high. This fallacious argument is analogous to saying that as costs rise, firms raise prices, but firms cannot raise prices because of higher costs, only if the relative scarcity of that particular good rises (which occurs because marginal producers are forced elsewhere). To make the claim that firms can simply raise prices at will runs into the question of why don't they raise prices before costs go up, (and keep on raising them).
With bond yields, the intuition is the same, if bondholders could get higher yields simply by refusing to accept low yields then clearly they would, regardless of how high inflation is. Of course if there is one country who is pursuing lunatic monetary policies and other countries pursuing sensible policies, then clearly the bonds of that country will fall, but what if all countries are pursuing lunatic policies as is the case now? It is not a priori obvious where all the excess liquidity will go, it may go into commodities, houses, bonds stocks, consumer goods, small business etc.
In short, high bond prices do not necessarily represent investors' expectations of low CPI, they could occur as a direct result of inflation (true inflation – ie an increase in money and credit).

How do you reconcile the upward trend in gold with a downward trend in inflation hedging securities? Presumably gold is also a hedge against real (monetary) inflation. Do you believe that investors are causing these two instruments to be out of alignment?
- March 22, 2006 at 12:25 pm
"The argument for this is based on the idea that bondholders will 'accept' only higher yields if inflation is high."
Yields or discounts are the difference between the bond's face value and its selling price. It is not current bond holders who can obtain a higher yield because they have developed expectations for a decreasing dollar purchasing power in the future; it is the potential bond buyer who will obtain the higher yield because as the risks involved in a bond purchase appear to increase due to inflation, demand for the bonds decrease and so, all other things remaining equal, the price of bonds will decrease. This results in a necessary increase in bond yields over what they would have been had the perceived risk of inflation been less. This is necessarily true.

Doing some historical work on Von Mises…
Would be very helpful (to me..) to know whether his original "Human Action" was written in German..??
An answer would be greatly appreciated… A**2

to me, it seems as it was (1940)

No. Nationalökonomie was published in German, but it's a precursor to, not the same book as, Human Action.

Live From the Tech Policy Summit: The Communications Explosion
Fast-accelerating advances in communications -- through the creation and adoption of more and better wireless technologies -- may bring obvious benefits, but along with the advantages come complex problems and daunting challenges. The Tech Policy Summit is one venue for leaders with a variety of backgrounds and interests to begin sorting them out.
Tucked away down a dim hallway in the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel is a ballroom where participants in day two of the Tech Policy Summit are airing their pressing concerns about technology innovation and adoption.
The recently concluded Federal Communications Commission 700 MHz wireless spectrum auction is generating considerable buzz, as is today's shocking news that Comcast and BitTorrent have decided to cooperate. Other topics of interest are the ever-expanding online universe and advancements in wireless technologies.
Opening Up
Today's highlights included a keynote by FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell, who opened up his address by noting that the summit reflects "the wonderful reality that we are privileged to live in the most exciting time ever in the history of communications."
Half of the world's population now has a cell phone, he observed. "No technology has ever penetrated this deeply this fast."
Along with all of the obvious advantages, there's a downside. "Just like our gangling and awkward teenage years, the new media economy is working through growing pains," commented McDowell.
The 700 MHZ auction was "all about trying to bring new blood into the broadband game," he said. However, with the telecom behemoths dominating the show, many of the worries he harbored about the auction's outcome apparently were justified.
On open access -- a policy that Google had vigorously championed -- McDowell remarked that the market had long been heading toward the open waters of open access.
Any self-congratulations on Google's part were akin to "a rooster taking credit for the sunrise," he quipped.
McDowell waxed enthusiastic over the future of the FCC. "We have the building blocks for a healthy, well-funded agency. ... We're marching down the road of technological innovation, and we always will."
The Wireless Revolution
During her roundtable discussion on wireless innovation, Rachelle Chong, a commissioner on the California Public Utilities Commission, jokingly told the audience that the panel members "should disagree with each other often -- and if they disappoint me, there will be hell to pay."
Carolyn Brandon, vice president of policy for CTIA, dominated the discussion with her enthusiasm over the Comcast-BitTorrent agreement, which she called "absolutely fabulous."
The other participants -- Michael Calabrese, vice president of the Wireless Future Program for the New America Foundation, Simon Wilkie, professor and executive director of the USC Center for Communications Law and Policy, and Brian Knapp, vice president of corporate affairs and chief privacy officer for the "social compass" application provider Loopt -- touched on such topics as m-commerce, white space and municipal wireless.
White space is "sitting there doing nothing," Wilkie remarked.
Boring? Not So Much
Kai Ryssdal, host of the public radio business program "Marketplace," picked the brain of Craigslist Founder and Customer Service Representative Craig Newmark on subjects ranging from society to the Internet to himself.
"People always want to give each other a break," said the soft-spoken Newmark. "People of goodwill are getting together ... to change things."
His philanthropic efforts are giving him a new appreciation of lobbyists, he said. "There are a small number of people who have given the industry a bad name."
As for the fame he acquired for his namesake site -- which he called "pretty much an online flea market" -- Newmark said it's "all very surreal ... very odd. I'm just not used to that kind of attention. It all changes when I'm in L.A. I've been in L.A. about 36 hours, and already I want to adopt a baby from overseas."
Newmark maintained a self-deprecating tone throughout the interview. "In high school, I really did wear a plastic pocket protector," he confessed.
"I'm as boring as you can get. I wear gray socks. Brown is the new black," he said, in defense of his suit.

In the latest, and presumably last phase of baseball leapfrog this off season, Orel Hershiser and the Los Angeles Dodgers collaborated yesterday on the richest three-year contract ever signed.
Just before they were to confront each other in salary arbitration, Hershiser and the Dodgers agreed to a $7.9 million contract that will pay the pitcher a $1.1 million signing bonus and salaries of $2.4 million, $1.6 million and $2.8 million.
Hershiser's leap to the top of the 1989 can-you-top-this salary scale, powered by the best two-month period a pitcher has ever had, came just 24 hours after Roger Clemens received $7.5 million for three years from the Boston Red Sox. And only last week, the Mets gave Dwight Gooden $6.7 million for three years. Incaviglia Loses Case
In other arbitration developments yesterday, Pete Incaviglia of Texas lost his case, leaving him with a $475,000 salary instead of the $828,000 he sought, and the Cincinnati Reds settled with two players, negotiating a $1,025,000 salary with Tom Browning after they had already argued their case before an arbitrator Wednesday and agreeing to give Eric Davis $1.35 million. The salaries of Davis and Browning mean that 108 players will earn $1 million or more this year.

Brizendine And Leandersson Earn Academic Honor
April 17, 2008 IRVING, Texas - East Carolina teammates Tripp Brizendine and Markus Leandersson were among the six student-athletes to make up the 2008 Conference USA All-Academic Men's Golf Team, as selected by the sports information directors for golf. East Carolina placed two members on the team, while Memphis, Rice, UAB and UTEP each had one representative on the squad. The all-academic team for men's golf consists of student-athletes that have earned a 3.2 cumulative grade point average or better and played in 75 percent or more of their team's rounds this season. The team usually consists of five golfers, but there was a tie in this year's voting. Brizendine and Leandersson both registered three Top 10 finishes for the Pirates this season. The pair are also two-time selections to the Conference USA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll and C-USA Academic Medal winners. Brizendine carries a 3.77 GPA as an economics major, with a 4.0 during the fall semester. The sophomore from Morrisville, N.C., was a member of the 2007 C-USA All-Freshman Team, as well as the NCAA Division I National Golf Coaches All-American Scholar Team. Leandersson maintains a perfect 4.0 GPA as a junior finance major. The Hvalstad, Norway native's best performance of the season was a second-place finish at the prestigious Pinehurst Intercollegiate in March. Memphis junior Brad Benjamin is a repeat selection to the All-Academic Team, after being the only underclassmen selected for last year's inaugural team. With a 3.82 GPA in business finance, Benjamin has spent five semesters on the Dean's List, the Tiger 3.0 Club and the Tiger Academic 30. He is a three-time C-USA Academic Medal winner. As a freshman, he earned a spot on the 2006 C-USA All-Tournament Team after placing third overall and finished in the Top 20 last season. This year, the native of Rockford, Ill., is one of only two Tigers to play in every round this spring, with two Top-15 finishes.
Rice sophomore Michael Buttacavoli was a unanimous selection to the 2008 All-Academic Team. Hailing from Miami Beach, Fla., Buttacavoli ranks second among the Owls with a 74.08 stroke average. He placed second at the Pat Hicks Thunderbird Invitational and also posted a pair of Top 20 finishes this spring. Buttacavoli maintains a 3.87 GPA as a mathematical economic analysis major. UAB's Brad Smith is a two-time C-USA Golfer of the Week selection as the only Blazer to compete in every tournament this season. The Adelaide, Australia native was named the 2007 Conference USA Newcomer of the Year and tied for 12th place at the C-USA Championship to help his team to a second-place finish. A two-time member of the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll with a 3.25 GPA as a communication studies management major, Smith has ranked as high as No. 71 nationally by Golfweek. UTEP senior Zac Hildenbrand becomes the second Miner to earn an all-academic honor with a 3.77 GPA. A native of Summerland, British Columbia, Hildenbrand has already completed his degree in biology and is currently working on a PhD in chemistry. He overcame a nerve damage injury to his left arm and ranks third on the team in stroke average (74.3) this season, which includes two Top 20 finishes. These six and many other outstanding student-athletes are gearing up for the 2008 Conference USA Men's Golf Championship, which will be held April 20-22. This year's 54-hole event is being hosted at the par 72, 6,935-yard Texarkana Country Club in Texarkana, Ark. |

My crankiness is less today, I wasn't even all that cranky yesterday until the night, then I got really cranky and I guess this is where I should say sorry to Avril for semi-yelling at her! So, I'm sorry Av, you're still my favorite little friend, you'll get extra candy next time I hand it out and you'll be sure to get an award at the Freddies. I was going to put a hotlist in here but I decided not to, for a few reasons, firstly who needs a hotlist when they've already found their one and only, secondly I don't want to offend those who don't make it onto my hotlist and thirdly, I don't think Eliza's ghetto ego needs any more boosting *laughs* PITY LIST for you Lazazzi! ;)If anyone wants my hotlist they can ask me for it.I was Sarahless all day yesterday and then today I had to go out first thing which sucks, but welcome to our lives *sigh* I'm not at all looking forward to having to be away from her when I go to England real soon, I would say she should come with me.. but I'm pretty sure her sched is maxed out too. Don't get me wrong, England's a great place and the stuff I get to do there is crazy, I just don't like being that far away from my girl.

I actually like his band. Sound like the Black Dahlia Murder in my opinion (So if you didn't like that song, probably not for you). I will get the EP on RBN for sure but don't know if I'll be able to beat it on expert (then again doesn't sound like the craziest blast beats so I could probably do it )

Talking To Aliens
Keep listening as Jim --a former military public relations officer-- reveals details from a case among the most bizarre in UFO history.
Jim reported a huge range of phenomenon, including actual face-to-face contact.
Much like the original Skinwalker Ranch accounts, Jim describes multiple phenomena experienced by witnesses out on the working ranch that UFOMM dubbed Contact Ranch.
Jim and his extended family were also trying to raise cattle, out in another part of the Four Corners Area of the American West when they encountered the unimaginable.
2am: Nine discs landed in the yard! The family --Jim, Barbara, and their son, David-- and two friends were at home.
Seeing the discs, witnesses tried to wake everyone else, but the sleepers were unresponsive.
Jim approached the discs.
Barbara, looking out the window, was knocked senseless to the floor by an unseen force.
Reviving Barbara, witnesses noticed the objects were gone.
Jim wondered why they hadnt used the force on him.
[Excerpted from Alien Liason, by Timothy Good]
But then I began to understand how clever they were They didnt do it to me because I was walking toward them They did the most practical thing that could be done to get me back inside and get both people away from the window and I think I began to respect how clever they were.
Then I began to think the Government was doing this to us.
Except that there were a lot of unusual things, for instance
David upstairs had been paralyzed during the incident that way he couldnt respond.
He could hear us calling but couldnt get up.
Ultrasonic sounds were heard all night long.
He was sick for three days.
At 2am one night in the presence of guests, the lights went out in the house, a mechanical-sounding voice was heard coming from all the radio and TV speakers.
We were sitting right in front of a console stereo and the voice came out of it.
I can almost recite the words exactly
Attention: we have allowed you to remain.
We have interfered with your lives very little.
Do not cause us to take action which you will regret.
Your friends will be instructed to remain silent concerning us.
One of the guests, Dan, a computer and electronics specialist, was determined to a find a rational explanation for the mysterious broadcast; he dismantled the stereo set He went through the whole unit and said he couldnt figure it out He checked and the stereo was off; the phonograph was on when the lights went off the radio receiver part was off the type of transmitter it would take to cause a signal to go through the whole house would be beyond our means to put up.
After an experience Jim and his son had, with a light in the trees and a Black Box that disappeared, Jim told his son to go into the house, while he [Jim] would find out what it was.
That was the closest Ive been to afraid.
I had to force my legs to move down because I didnt know what I would see.
I walked down to the light and there were two individuals waiting for me in the light.
The light didnt come from anywhere They obviously werent nervous and as soon as I walked up, spoke to me by name [as though] . How nice of you to come. Down below us was a disc on the ground 50 or 60 away.
And [I ] had no doubts they were human. They were approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, [in] tight fitting clothing like a flight suit [their] clothing changing colors from brown to silver...I dont know how.
they were fair with large eyes blond hair and it wasnt long The thing that impressed me the most was the eyes Their facial features were finer. They were almost delicate, effeminate, and completely self-assured... They apologized for the inconveniences and told us more a equitable arrangement would be worked out between us, whatever that means. I wanted to ask a lot of questions but found I didnt There were several things they asked me not to repeat that had no significant meaning at all.
I think they were checking to see if I would keep my mouth shut. I told them if they were mutilating cows it was very foolish it would draw attention to themselves.
They didnt give me any earth shattering information or admit they were mutilating the cows.
The only thing for sure was the big fuzzy thing Bigfoot-Like obeyed their commands.
They mentioned the box, how I did the right thing backing away from it it is what I call an implied threat.
They nodded and approximately 20 to 30 feet away Bigfoot as I call him, got up and walked toward the box.
The box changed tone and he dropped, and they said, as you see they can be quite lethal. [Emphasis added by UFOMM.]
They said they would come back and talk again They did tell me that my memory would not be tampered with.
I thought of all the things I would have liked to ask I was pretty rocked, because I did see the disc and it was quite clear I am pretty sure they play rough.
Its not big brother spiritual beings from space I am absolutely convinced that they couldnt care less if we live or die.
Alien Liaison, Colorado Breakthrough, Tim Good
Whatever you believe as a ground truth, there are plenty of additional choices you have to make about the Contact Ranch breakthrough case [reported by Tim Good in Alien Liason]:
Did any of this happen?
Did all of this happen?
If some or all of it happened, how was Jim --a US military intelligence officer on a remote, family-owned ranch-- able to do what entire teams of scientists were unable to do for decades? How was Jim able to make contact with who/what ever it was?
Jim did this by accepting the phenomena were driven by an intelligence, and by challenging that intelligence.
The beings seem to gain respect for Jim, and they may have decided to contact him further under controlled conditions.
Whatever they really are, control seems very important to these beings.
I spoke with author Tim Good at a bar recently during a conference. I asked Tim if any one had ever followed up on the folks who lived on Contact Ranch.
Tim says to the best of his knowledge he didnt think so, but he did feel the family may still be living there.
What a shame we dont know the next chapter of the Contact Ranch saga.
What happened after that intense phase of phenom ended? Did Jim really pass their test?
He never did tell anyone what the beings had told him, far as we know.
So, did they come back, make contact again?
If contact continued, what was said?
What happened with their cattle? Were the rest of the livestock left alone after the initial mutilations?
This seems important, since Jim felt the beings were responsible for the cattle mutilations.
Tim Good observed the Contact Ranch witnesses felt the military operations explanation was not sufficient to account for the strange events which they have experienced.
It may be that ETs are always aware of the larger stage where these interactions are being reported.
For me, this is another example of theater staged by ETs for multiple purposes.
Interesting how the ETs specifically mentioned they would not alter Jims memory.
And then theres the self-assured countenance, the gift of strong determination in the face of the terrible, that is a gift the ETs bestowed on Jim, whether intentionally or by default.
All this plays into the staging of events in scenarios where ETs feel always in control and yet where they do not easily outthink us.
Notice how the beings spoke perfect English and mentioned their interference as being very little on the scale of threats.
At the original Skinwalker Ranch, the staging of the varied phenom was more confrontational, and the level of interference greater.
The alleged alien beings were different, too: more in line with the so-called grays.
Maybe the bizarre animals are the hardest to explain: huge wolves from the original Skinwalker Ranch and Bigfoots from Contact Ranch.
Neither type of these cryptids witnessed by the terrified ranch families and researchers could be killed, and both cryptid groups seemed to be under intelligent control.
And why not? If this particular group of ETs have been here a long time, they may have used these creatures.
Maybe they designed them!
Whether ET designed or simply captured part of our own cryptid menagerie, its not a stretch to imagine, based on the data reported at both ranches, how these cryptids might be used to spy and control land areas.
By creating native superstitions --as with Bigfoot-- ETs could control access to these areas by making sure the natives avoid the areas for generations.
By introducing Big Foot into the mix, the alleged ETs have created an important impediment to witnesses reporting their experiences and to victims getting help after the fact.
Adding Big Foot makes any potential report too incredible to be believed. Because of the Big Foot factor, even the UFO investigators could only come to one conclusion: at least some of the incidents had a basis for objective reality.
How clever are they, these ETs who seemed to be running the shows at Skinwalker and Contact Ranch?

Tell the people who keep saying these are secret black projects to go take a walk.
These objects are way too advanced of anything we could even dream of.
They do things that make us question our physics, and dam it, maybe we should.
If fact these objects may be trying to tell our scientist just that.

Hi Joe,
What an interesting post.I had to read it several times to digest it....this falls into line with a recent experience of my daughter who has no interest at all in this sort of thing...the first thing which happened was "something"that appeared at the patio door...floating...I have her sketch...we have also had any number of odd phone messages...electronic devices going haywire..my own non alien induction experiences...all of this boiled down seems to indicate we
individually seem to attenuate these attempts at communication and they end up being a hybrid like two people talking over each other. Odd.
Best Wishes

Is it a curiosity that labor leader William Sylvis (1828-1869) used similar wording ("equitable arrangement") to describe why labor needed to issue the bourse?
When labor issues the bourse will we be able to work out a more equitable arrangement between us?

Would we guess about enough to awaken us to the threat poised to us by the tens of thousands of nuclear bombs planted in our midst?

Would we regret it if we did something that caused our elders to step away from us, allowing Jew to finally get some nice clear shots with the 150,000 nuclear bombs he built to sweep us away from life?
