For an instant, John McAfee is anonymous. He is haggard, sleep-deprived, and a bit unhinged, but anonymous. For the first time in days, there are no cops, guards, or handcuffs. No TV cameras or tape recorders or questions. But he can't escape them forever. Dressed in the same dark pinstriped suit he's been wearing since his release from a Guatemalan jail two days ago, McAfee ducks into a small sunglass shop in South Beach. "I need a disguise," he says.
McAfee slips on a pair of Ray-Bans. The salesman has no idea who this overly tanned customer is. No idea that McAfee has been accused of running a heavily armed harem of sex, guns, and bath salts on a tiny island in the Caribbean. And no idea that McAfee is a "person of interest" in a bizarre murder last month in Belize. But then McAfee begins to talk, and it is instantly clear something is not right.
"I need a pair of these," McAfee says, holding up the shades. "Women are always trying to stab me in the eyes with needles."
John McAfee
McAfee, the 67-year-old millionaire antivirus software guru, is the most wanted man in the world: coveted by newscasters, Belizean authorities, and mobs of fans from Central America to South Florida. Yet for some reason he agreed to let me into the quiet center of the chaotic shitstorm his life has become. During the four hours we spent together, I heard him plead his innocence, watched him blow well over $1,000, and witnessed him hit on a half-dozen women.
All the while, he was jovial and relaxed — almost Zen-master-like. Not the supposedly bath-salts-snorting maniac some media outlets have suggested. And certainly not what you would expect from a murderer on the run, as others have painted him.
But not normal, either. Far from it.
My afternoon with McAfee began just before noon last Thursday, when he sauntered out of the Beacon Hotel on Ocean Drive and chucked a red Frisbee into a crowd of reporters and tourists. Then he launched into his self-defense. "I want to make this clear for the hundredth time: I had absolutely nothing to do with the murder in Belize."
McAfee laid out his version of events in a raspy roar: Marco Vidal, the head of the Belizean police's Gang Suppression Unit, had demanded $2 million this spring, he said. When he refused to pay, 42 soldiers stormed his island property April 30.
"[They] shot my dog in the head, held me in the sun, handcuffed my hands behind my back for 14 hours, destroyed half a million dollars' worth of my property," he said. "Since then, they've attempted to charge me with everything."
The spat blossomed into an international mystery November 10 when McAfee's neighbor, a Floridian named Gregory Faull, was found murdered. The next day, Vidal told reporters that McAfee was the "prime suspect."
McAfee quickly escaped with Samantha "Sam" Vanegas — one of his two teenage girlfriends — and two Vice magazine reporters to the Guatemalan border. But the plot unraveled December 3 when the Vice reporter tweeted a photo without removing the pic's GPS tag. Within minutes, their location — the pool at the Hotel & Marina Nana Juana in Izabal, Guatemala — was all over the Internet.
Four dozen Guatemalan police arrived shortly before midnight and arrested McAfee on immigration charges. For a week he sat in jail, eating "moldy beans and rice." Then, just as McAfee was about to be deported to Belize — "where I would have been killed," he claims — he feigned a heart attack. He was taken to the hospital, and the ruse gave his lawyer time to negotiate McAfee's deportation to Miami. He landed at Miami International Airport late last Wednesday.
But none of this explains who the hell McAfee really is. For that, I had to spend the whole next day with him.
When McAfee finished his interviews, he was swarmed by tourists. Then a young Puerto Rican cab driver named Franklin Camacho approached, offering to drive him around on his errands.
"You look too clean-cut to be a cabbie," McAfee said. When Camacho explained he was a recovering alcoholic, McAfee said he was too. "If you're a 'friend of Bill's,' you're a friend of mine," McAfee said, jumping into Camacho's cab. I jumped into the front seat, while a female reporter from the Miami Herald sat next to McAfee in the back.
What happened next was four hours of bath-salts-less insanity.
Our first stop was Ross Dress for Less. As Muzak played, McAfee hunted for clothes. ("Dude, I was just taken out of a jail cell and shoved on a plane," he explained, pointing to his crumpled suit. "This is all I've got.") Then he took his shirt off in the middle of the store, exposing a giant tribal tattoo that arcs across his back.
McAfee also began opening up about his life. He said that he cared deeply for both of his girlfriends, Amy and Sam, and was worried for their safety in Guatemala, but that monogamy and love were illusions. "This is a rare truth," he said, before quizzing his three listeners on whether they had ever had an affair.
"I don't sleep with Amy anymore," McAfee volunteered. "She tried to kill me four times. She stabbed me in the ass. I'm deaf in one ear because she tried to shoot me in the head. Since we stopped having sex, she hasn't tried to kill me. Not even once."
McAfee then offered to hook me up with his sadistic ex. "Amy is not going to want to skin you alive," he said, "because she will notice that you are actually faithful to women."
"Sure," I said, trying to laugh.
"You have courage, my friend," McAfee said. "I would want you in the jungle with me. All you are lacking is a bit of self-confidence. We'll fix that by the end of the day."
He would certainly try. Over the next three hours, he would frequently suggest that I take the Herald reporter on a date, only to warn he would swoop in for the kill if I didn't.
At the register, McAfee forked over a crisp $100 bill, which he explained had come in a package delivered to him the night before thanks to the guy running his blog, whoismcafee.com. We turned to leave, but the cashier called after us. McAfee had forgotten more than $20 in change. "I'm dying for some sushi," he said as we hopped back into Camacho's cab.
In the car, McAfee vented about how he had spent three hours the previous night giving an interview, only for the reporter to ask him to keep quiet. "This guy said he was my friend," McAfee said bitterly. "But if he was my friend, he wouldn't ask me that." McAfee would touch upon this theme of betrayal several times. In one moment, he promised to tell me the absolute truth. In others, he said he disdained journalists and admitted to playing "practical jokes" on them by routinely lying.
Ten minutes after leaving Ross, we settled at a small table inside SushiSamba on Lincoln Road. Without looking at the menu, McAfee ordered $400 worth of nigiri. Then he proceeded to hold court for two hours, like a more charming but no less insane Charlie Sheen.
"There are two ways to live, my son," he told me. "You can live according to the formula. We all know it: You go to school, you learn as much as you can, you find the right [partner], you settle down and have children. You live 20 years for your children, another 15 for your job, you retire, get a golden watch, and enjoy your life.
"Or there is no formula. There is nothing to live by except what is happening in that moment. Life is infinite. You can't have rules for infinity. The only rule is this here," he said, tapping the other reporter over her heart.
"Your life seems like endless chaos," I said at one point. "That can't be fun."
"Life is fun," he said. "You've been hanging out with me here in chaos for hours, yet you're enjoying it because you're in the moment."
Maybe that's the thing about McAfee — the key to his mix of childlike wonder and desperation, the secret of his chaos. He has burned his past behind him in Belize. And he refuses to commit to the future.
"I have no future, no dreams, no plans," he said. "If you don't have plans, then life is nothing but chaos." McAfee paused. "Here's the truth of life: You can be the president, but if nobody pays attention to you, you don't exist."
And suddenly I understood why McAfee looked so old, so ragged. Without a past or a future to retreat to, his life had become one frenetic moment — an endless search for recognition. Without his young women around, he had turned to reporters for validation.
"Life is boring," he said. "Play is the only noble thing."
He had been playing hide-and-seek for weeks with the authorities, he said. Even his infamous blog posts, in which he discussed testing and perfecting mysterious drugs on himself, were, he now claimed, just part of a bet with a friend. He had played Russian roulette in front of a reporter in Belize, he said, just to fuck with the man's mind.
We left the restaurant, but not before McAfee ordered $24 worth of green-tea ice cream. We walked along Lincoln Road eating it with chopsticks. Eventually, he turned to me with a warning. "You've got ten minutes to ask her out," he said, pointing to the Herald reporter. "After that, I'm going to enter the competition."
I demurred again as we wandered into and out of phone stores until McAfee found one capable of calling Guatemala. He instantly began flirting with the woman behind the counter, taking out a Marlboro and asking her for a light. "Do I know you?" she said with a laugh.
"I dated your sister, remember?" McAfee bullshitted. "She got so upset when I snuck into your room that one night. But it was worth it. You did things that I don't even think there are names for." He forked over $438 for a phone, including $300 credit to call Amy and Sam.
By now, McAfee apparently thought his lessons had been wasted on me. I had not become the "King Kong" he said I really was, so he turned to the Herald reporter. "I haven't seen a movie in two years," he said. "You want to go see a movie tonight?"
We climbed into the cab once more. Moments later, we were near the Beacon Hotel on Ocean Drive. Camacho pulled over, and McAfee and I stepped out. He lit his Marlboro as we ambled south on the crowded sidewalk. I asked him if there was anything else he wanted to tell me, anything about the murder. Anything he regretted. McAfee stopped.
"I hardly even knew Greg Faull," he said. "He liked to drink. I gave up drinking nearly 30 years ago."
And what about the reports that he had been in the bar the night of the murder, staring daggers at his neighbor?
"I own a bar, and I won't even go inside. That was just somebody making shit up to get on TV."
But there is something he regretted, he said. He had left his longtime partner to embark on this insane international media circus. McAfee asked me not to print her name — the only time all day he made that request — and for a moment I watched him envision his past or perhaps imagine an alternate future. Then he ducked into the sunglass store for a disguise.

Within two minutes, TV cameras began to crowd the doorway. Our time was up.
"Did you really expect to be able to hide from them that long?" I asked, extending my hand.
"I don't expect an honest article," McAfee told me, donning his new sunglasses. "But it better at least be well written. Otherwise, I'm going to send Sam to kill you."
Then he smiled and was lost in the churning horde.

Strega Nona Entertaining: Conjuring Creative Fun
From recipes to rituals, I will kindly divine the perfect celebration for you!
A Sassy Solstice Soirée
Winter Solstice is a perfect excuse to wind down for the year. It is happily emphasized since I am on Winter Break for school– hibernating more and going out less. For the last seven years and counting, I have held some sort of Winter Solstice gathering for friends and sometimes family. I have hosted sit-down traditional dinners and the more informal drinks and appetizers only fiesta. We have mulled spiced-wine together, played an old parlor game entitled, "The Minister's Cat," and lit candles. One of my favorite theme ideas was putting a spotlight on the sun: I served spicy Indian food for snacks and the soundtrack featured all songs mentioning the sun. There are a seemingly endless supply of these to choose from.
This year, I am taking some advice from an Indianapolis food blogger, featured in the current issue of Midwest Living. Her article, "Holiday Party Tips From Annie Marshall: Eat Drink and Be Merry," is a great approach to a more relaxed get-together. From hanging treats on an "edible cookie tree," to her insistence on serving a signature drink for the event that you can make a nice big batch of in advance, Marshall knows her stuff. Here is her recipe for Cranberry Margaritas:
Stir up a pitcher of these rosy margaritas for your next holiday bash. The Simple Syrup recipe makes enough syrup for 30 margaritas but is easily halved or quartered.
1 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup tequila
1/4 cup triple sec (or other orange liqueur)
3 tablespoons Simple Syrup
Coarse sugar for rimming (optional)
Combine cranberry and lime juices, tequila, triple sec and Simple Syrup. Stir well to combine. Serve over ice in glasses rimmed with coarse sugar or salt, if desired.
Simple Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Transfer to a heat-proof pitcher and refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes. (Can be made ahead. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 months.) Makes 2 cups. *This recipe whips up 3 and the drinks weigh-in at a respectable 220 calories per glass.
You can make this a nice big apartment full of your favorite folks or keep it small and simple. Go a little nuts with the electric lights hung in the windows, the fire in the fireplace, the candles on the mantlepiece. If it is a smaller group, consider a spirited round of "Apples to Apples," or "Uno" for later in the eve.
Before guests head for home, have everyone gather around your living room table. Be sure there is a small votive for each of them. Red, white, or green would all be appropriate. For a circle around the table and light your candles. Hold hands together and share a little saying that has special meaning for your group. Or even sing a few lines of, "Here Comes The Sun," by the Beatles. Then make a warm toast to each other until you meet again.

BRIDGEWATER, N.S. – A Halifax man was convicted Friday of sexually assaulting a blindfolded 16-year-old boy who said he was kept captive in a remote cabin for more than a week.
A jury also found John Leonard MacKean, 64, guilty of communicating for the purpose of obtaining sexual services from a person under 18. He will be sentenced June 24.
"I'm glad it's going to be over," said the mother of the victim, whose identity is protected by a publication ban. "My son doesn't have to talk about it any more until he's ready to."
The verdict came after more than four hours of deliberations. The trial, which began Monday, heard MacKean and the victim each give their accounts of what happened on Sept. 20, 2012.
The teen testified that he was blindfolded with a sleeping mask and his hands and feet were chained to a bed when a man sexually assaulted him at a cabin in rural Nova Scotia where he was held against his will for eight days.
The youth, now 17, later told the province's Supreme Court in Bridgewater that a man performed oral sex on him as he cried, unable to move.
The teen said he was certain the man was not one of two other men accused in the case, one of whom was later convicted of kidnapping him, because he was able to determine from a limited view beneath his blindfold that the perpetrator was a balding, heavy-set man who wore glasses.
"He's just a very brave boy," the teen's mother said Friday.
Crown prosecutor Lloyd Tancock said he believes a video of an interview MacKean gave to police after his arrest, during which MacKean said he was inside the cabin and involved in a sexual encounter with the boy, was a major factor in the jury's decision.
Tancock said the case has been an ordeal for the victim and his family.
"It's been a terrible case for the family and it doesn't end here for them I'm sure," he said.
He said he is not yet sure what sentence he will seek.
Defence lawyer Mike Taylor agreed that MacKean's interview with police harmed his client's case.
"It certainly posed problems for the defence," Taylor said. "There were acknowledgments by Mr. MacKean that he had done certain things."
MacKean testified Thursday, saying the youth did not seem upset and was not in chains at the time of the incident.
MacKean denied he performed oral sex on the youth, said he was led to believe the teen was a young adult and that if he felt the youth was distressed, he would have made sure he was freed.
He said he was invited to the cabin by Wayne Alan Cunningham, with whom he had a sexual relationship after the two met at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
MacKean said Cunningham suggested in the summer of 2012 having a third person involved during their sexual massages that cost MacKean $45 each. Cunningham told him that person was in his 20s, MacKean told the jury.
MacKean said he believed that based on a photo of the youth he was shown and that in fact, the boy looked to be around the same age as Cunningham, who was 31.
When he arrived at the cabin, MacKean saw the youth blindfolded on a bed, court heard. Cunningham said the youth preferred to have a blindfold on because he was shy, MacKean told the jury.
MacKean said the youth didn't talk while the three engaged in a sexual encounter.
David James LeBlanc, another man accused in the case, was sentenced last June to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to kidnapping, forcible confinement, sexual assault, uttering threats and breach of conditions.
An agreed statement of facts in LeBlanc's case said he offered the teen a painting job and drove him in a van from Halifax to a cabin in Lunenburg County about 130 kilometres away in September 2012 on the pretext of picking up painting supplies.
The youth later escaped and a woman reported seeing a barefoot teenager at her doorstep, chained at his wrists and ankles.
LeBlanc was arrested in northern Ontario in September 2012. Police were also searching at the time for Cunningham, whose body was later found near the area where LeBlanc was arrested. Foul play was not suspected in his death.

By KATHY MATHESON
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The future attorneys stood in front of the class and took turns weaving a crazy tale about a spindly-legged boy named Tommy, a glass of poisoned wine, and a dinner of macaroni and cheese with hotdogs.
Their peers at Drexel University's Earle Mack School of Law laughed as the story became increasingly ridiculous. But the students had to keep the plot going, because thinking on their feet was the point of this improvisational exercise. The name of the course, after all, is "Improv for Lawyers."
Taught by actress and comedian Sharon Geller, the class is designed to build confidence in attorneys-to-be by teaching them to think outside the box, approach scenarios from many angles, and react evenly when something unexpected happens – which, in improv, is all the time.
"If something's not going your way … take a deep breath, don't get flustered," said student Mike Lavner, 27. "You're learning to control the situation."
Improv has been used for years as a professional development tool for seasoned attorneys. But offering it to students is unusual, said Micah Buchdahl, a lawyer from Moorestown, N.J., who serves on the American Bar Association's standing committee on continuing legal education.
For litigators – those who interview witnesses in court, or seek to charm juries or judges through storytelling – the value of improv is clear. Yet it also can help lawyers who shun the spotlight, Buchdahl said, sharpening the skills needed for taking depositions, negotiating settlements and wooing new clients.
"For a lot of attorneys, it's a lot easier to write a brief than get up in front of a crowd," he said.
Geller began teaching the course about three years ago after a Drexel law school administrator took one of her improv workshops at Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theatre. It was a hit before she even stepped into the classroom.
"Someone from the school called and said, 'Your class crashed our computer system because so many students tried to sign up,'" Geller said.
There is a lot of laughter in each weekly, two-hour class. In one exercise, students must create conversations using only questions; another requires them to nimbly switch between the pro and con arguments of a topic – say, "I love camping" – whenever Geller claps. And she claps a lot.
In a storytelling exercise called "conducted orchestra," Geller acts as maestro by randomly pointing at students to continue an ever-more convoluted tale.
Miscues were common throughout one recent night. But that's core to learning, said student Steve Budd, 24.
"People don't remember the mistake. They remember how you react to the mistake," Budd said.
Earthen Johnson, a class alumna, said that what she learned has been useful in her job as an associate for investment management at Drinker, Biddle and Reath in Philadelphia.
"It forced you to really be able to read body language," Johnson said. "Paying attention to those subtle nuances really helps you in a courtroom or at a negotiation table."
Former student Brieanna Wheeland, now an associate in the business and finance group at the local offices of Ballard Spahr, said Geller's class taught her the importance of being able to use a variety of communication styles and tactics.
"She makes you do really awkward things," Wheeland said. "Sometimes I think that's what working is – how you respond to difficult things or difficult people."

Washington, D.C., July 20, 2011 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today issued an investor bulletin highlighting some of the most significant risks that foreign currency exchange (forex) transactions may pose for individual investors.
The forex market is a large and generally liquid financial market. Banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions as well as large corporations use the forex markets to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in currency rates. However, the risk of loss for individual investors who trade forex contracts can be substantial.
"Forex trading can be very risky and is not appropriate for all investors," said Lori J. Schock, Director of the SEC's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy. "Individual investors considering forex trading need to fully understand the unique characteristics of this market and consult their financial adviser before making any investment decisions."
Last week, the Commission issued an interim final temporary rule to permit registered broker-dealers to continue to engage in retail forex transactions for up to one year under the existing regulatory framework that applies to them when effecting such transactions. Under Section 742(c) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, retail forex transactions would have been prohibited as of July 16, 2011, in the absence of Commission action. The interim rule provides the Commission with time to collect additional information regarding the retail forex activities of broker-dealers and take such regulatory action as may be appropriate to reduce forex risk for investors purchasing or selling foreign securities.

Just below the level of wealthy multigenerational families are private individuals and families who require personalized investment advice and financial planning, but without the panoply of other family office services.
Last week, Threshold Group, a boutique family office headquartered in Philadelphia and Gig Harbor, Wash., rolled out a new offering called Threshold Wealth Management aimed at individual families with net worth from $5 million to $50 million.
The new service will focus on investment advice, financial planning and, in some instances, legacy or succession planning for those entering a new phase of life, Threshold said in a statement.
Stripped out of the offering are the firm's other family office services, such as bill paying, family retreats and customized office administrative services. But this will not dilute the investment research and portfolio management expertise provided larger clients, the statement said.
"Our manager research and our perspective on the capital markets are equally integral to the advice we provide, regardless of whether a client owns three investment accounts or 35 accounts spread across a dozen entities," Dan Geary, managing director and business leader for Threshold Wealth Management, said in the statement.
"We are scaling our services so that our thinking and our personalized approach is accessible and affordable for both large families and individual households."
Threshold's introduction of wealth management services is the third step in the firm's recent move toward enhanced segmentation of services based on specific client needs. Earlier this year, the firm introduced Threshold Foundation Services as a separate offering to serve families who have philanthropic nonprofits operating independently from a family's personal and taxable wealth.
Threshold Group's original full-service model, called Family Office Services, remains the centerpiece of the firm's brand, the statement said.

BT has deemed the super-ultra-fast broadband trials it was running in Cornwall a success, promising a commercial roll out in early 2013.
When we say super-ultra-fast broadband, we're talking about 300Mbps fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP) which will see fibre laid all the way to your actual home, as opposed to fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) which is slower because the fibre runs only to those messy green boxes on the street that are forever being vandalised.
The trials in St Agnes, Cornwall, saw BT testing a solution that allows it to use the existing to-the-cabinet fibre then adding on the to-the-premise bit afterwards, something it calls 'FTTP on demand'.
But first, this
With the aim to start rolling out the 300Mbps FTTP broadband by Spring 2013, that leaves a good year to fill.
Luckily BT is planning to introduce a faster variety of FTTC in 2012 as well, set to double today's downstream sppeds from 40Mbps to 80Mbps, complemented by upstream speeds of 20Mbps.
Over 7 million UK households can now access fibre broadband over BT's network, with the company hoping to see this figure rise to ten million in 2012 and to two-thirds of the UK by the end of 2014.

I committed the sacrilege of selling my small collection of 3DO in 1996 to buy a Playstation. (Yes I did).
Some years later, I discovered the stupidity of my act and decided to restart the collection. Today I have about 80 games, most of them long USA boxed releases, but I lacked one, that I played extensively 20 years ago and no more. This game is Sewer Shark and I was fortunate to find a sealed copy on evilBay. Now remains for me to hope to arrive in Brazil in security because our postal service (as the rest of the world, I suppose) is very sloppy.
I just wanted to share my joy with you guys at this time.
Fingers crossed...

EADS changes name to Airbus, hikes jet order goal
Paris, July 31, 2013
EADS will combine its defence and space units and take the name of its flagship brand Airbus, adopting a similar structure and style to arch-rival Boeing as it targets higher profits.
Nine months after abandoning attempts to merge with UK arms firm BAE Systems, Chief Executive Tom Enders confirmed decisions that would see civil jets remain a "growth engine" popular with investors, who pushed EADS shares to new highs.
Speaking after EADS also confirmed an increase in the Airbus order target and unveiled upbeat mid-year earnings, Enders did not rule out job cuts in the group's 45,000-strong defence and space operations, which will be based in Germany.
He said the reorganization would "take costs out, increase profitability and improve our market position".
In a further sign of potential job cuts, EADS warned the move could lead to restructuring charges later in the year.
However, it effectively deferred politically sensitive decisions until after German elections in September by promising to carry out a more detailed review in the second half.
"The German government will work closely (with EADS) during the upcoming restructuring process and will place great importance on Germany's interests as an industrial location," Economy Minister Philipp Roesler said.
EADS was formed in 2000 from a merger of French, German and Spanish assets that incorporated passenger jetmaker Airbus, founded three decades earlier and now a global rival to Boeing.
The name EADS - originally European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co - was never widely recognized and the group has long discussed changing its name to Airbus.
As previously reported by Reuters, EADS will be called Airbus Group and and will combine its defence and space activities in one Munich-based division together with Airbus Military transporters, currently twinned with passenger jets.
Eurocopter, the world's largest commercial helicopter maker, will be renamed Airbus Helicopters.
Powered by Airbus commercial demand, which offset lower helicopter and space earnings, second-quarter EADS operating profit rose 23 percent to 887 million euros on revenue of 13.945 billion, up 3 percent. Airbus makes up two thirds of sales.
Analysts were on average expecting second-quarter operating profit of 839 million euros on revenue of 13.693 billion.
EADS raised the 2013 order target for passenger jets by 25 percent to more than 1,000 aircraft, as reported by Reuters earlier this month. Other targets were unchanged.
Shares in EADS rose 2.2 percent to 45.23 euros by 1038 GMT.
Airbus is battling to regain leadership of the $100 billion annual jet market after Boeing grabbed the top spot in both orders and deliveries last year.
EADS hopes its decision to unite under a globally recognized brand will galvanize the rest of its businesses from.
Driven by emerging markets, commercial aerospace demand has been remarkably strong in the past 2-3 years, providing a haven for investors in a shaky global economy.
The new order target puts Airbus on course to beat its 2012 gross order tally of 914 jetliners. Industry sources say business in the pipeline suggests it could reach 1,200 orders.
EADS aims to increase operating margins to 10 percent by 2015, from 5.6 percent in the first half of this year.
That would bring EADS roughly in line with Boeing, though the comparison is blurred by accounting differences that allow the U.S. company to spread some costs over a longer period.
Enders said testing for the A350, the newest Airbus jet, was going "very, very well" but the project remained challenging. – Reuters

Raising the Dead
This story appears in the February 2001 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Leading a business turnaround is a gut-wrenching task. I know because I've led three:
In 1991, colleagues elected me manager of a two-channel TV studio in the Middle East. The bland programming our studio regularly broadcast was the focus of much viewer aggression. I didn't know anything about studio operations, so I asked the staff for the top three viewer complaints. The next day I issued three programming edicts, got rid of videotapes that didn't meet the criteria and left the well-seasoned employees to order replacements. The following week, viewer complaints stopped completely. Not long afterward, the Gulf War broke out. Despite 14 nights of missile attacks, regular air-raid warnings, countless broadcasting regulation changes issued by the government and the fraying mental stability of just about everyone, this remains the easiest of the turnarounds I've led.
One year later, I was lured to a company consisting of 12 recreation facilities scattered across a city of 2.5 million inhabitants. The business had been in decline for one decade-more than half its customer facilities either were unusable, or were so damaged or filthy, few people went near them. The board of directors, constantly arguing, offered no support. Employee morale was low.
When I arrived, irate customers swarmed around me like bees. By the end of the second year, however, most of the facilities had been cleaned and repaired, and the company was churning out twice the number of programs and activities it had in the past.
My third turnaround was an $8 million private leisure operation. The owner had built this "ranch" for his children, but they'd grown up, and he wanted to make it a business. Unfortunately, his shockingly incompetent daughter had crowned herself managing director, five general managers had come and gone in the ranch's five-year history, and employees were seething with frustration from conflicting company directives.
"Here we go again," loudly whispered one seasoned staffer at the first meeting I convened. The others rolled their eyes, wondering whose job was on the line. A year and a half later, expenses had been reduced 40 percent, the number of programs had risen 300 percent, and memberships had increased over 800 percent.
Three businesses. Three turnarounds. Three tortuous uphill climbs. What did it take? Determination and sound planning. If your business is in crisis, look to the following road map to get it back on course.
1.Determine Your Priorities
2.Be Prepared for Resistance
3.Make "Customers" the Focus
4.Don't Go It Alone
5.Focus on Ethics and Quality
6.Get on With It!
1. Determine Your Priorities
Analyzing your company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
Determining the real source of power within your company
Before you begin the turnaround process, stop and consider what you want to accomplish. Sure, you want to increase revenue, but how will you do it-by streamlining systems or operations, targeting a specific clientele, introducing a new product or service, or eliminating an old one? How about improving service? Your business may require a combination of those things. If you're serious about turning your company around, it's critical to ask these questions of your staff, too. You'll likely get valuable input from employees, who can help you create a written guide of the turnaround's objectives.
2. Be Prepared for Resistance
Perseverance is key. People almost always resist change. Yet to turn a business around, everyone within it must abandon the familiar and embrace the unknown. This is a challenging concept, because it involves accepting new responsibilities as well as working in new, untried ways. For non-managerial employees, these new ways include:
- Accepting that the ownership of problems and solutions belongs to everyone in the business.
- Understanding that work must equal value. It's not enough to perform bottom-line duties.
- Realizing everyone must pull in the same direction.
- Caring about the job by displaying integrity and trust.
This change doesn't occur in a vacuum, however. As the business owner, it's up to you to help employees make these crucial changes. Here's how:
- Share information, and provide complete and thorough training.
- View your workers as assets.
- Pick the right people for specific jobs.
- Ask for, listen to and then act on others' viewpoints.
- Reward good job performance.
Your objective is to prevent future problems, not just battle current ones. If you want the changes to take hold, the commitment to change must be shared within the organization. Barriers must be broken, and that must be done by involving everyone. The buzzword here is "empowerment"-getting workers to motivate themselves by reawakening their universal desire to excel and their craving for acceptance.
3. Make "Customers" the Focus
Examined a little differently, "customers" can be taken to include everyone involved in your business-not just those who buy your goods and services. This includes salespeople, operations staff, designers, suppliers, shareholders and so on, because these people ultimately serve each other as well as the traditional customer. To achieve great "customer" service, owners and managers have to get out of the ivory tower and walk the business's front lines-listening, learning and formulating improvements from this new angle. Think about these questions in that light:
- Are all your products, services and systems designed with the wants and needs of everybody, from traditional customer to shareholder, in mind?
- Is the business concentrating so hard on one market (or department) that other potential markets (or departments) are being excluded?
- Do all employees share the attitude that service is everyone's job and nobody is too busy to help?
The most effective business interactions come from employees who feel they're part of a team and managers who set a good example. In other words, don't force your will; you'll just end up losing-and no business runs at peak efficiency until the employees are happy working within its systems. The same goes for paying customers who take their business elsewhere if things aren't done their way. In a nutshell, revenue comes from the people who support your company, and all those people must be earned (i.e., sought, listened to and serviced).
4. Don't Go It Alone
I'm not talking about hiring management consultants. Too many of them offer nothing more than lengthy textbook material in which the name of your company replaces the name of their last client. I'm talking here about delegation.
Typically, owners and managers don't like delegating for two reasons: insecurity and risk. The irony is that insecurity and risk are reduced when the work force is allowed into the decision-making process. The result is everyone learns to recognize and eliminate the causes of problems, not just the effects.
If employees don't perform to expectations, the fault usually lies with the company leadership for 1) not selecting the right people for the job, 2) providing insufficient information and training or 3) not creating an atmosphere conducive to achievement. To avoid these pitfalls:
- Provide employees with enough information and leeway to make decisions and formulate ideas.
- Modify employees' ideas so they fit the business's and customers' needs and so the people who have to work with these concepts will work with them.
- Confront-do not avoid-the inevitable conflicts that will arise.
- Know the difference between delegation and abdication.
One reason employees of my Middle East TV studio didn't run off while the Gulf War missiles were flying was that I had made them an integral part of its operations, and they didn't want to abandon it.
5. Focus on Ethics and Quality
It's also important to respect the intelligence of customers and employees. There are simply too many choices available to customers these days to think you can get away with subpar products and performance. Few things are as crucial to a business as a good reputation, and, like customers, a good reputation has to be earned. A good rule of thumb is to always think long-term. Short-term solutions, by their very nature, are destined to cause trouble in the future.
Last year's Firestone tire debacle provides a rousing example. If quality and ethics had played an active role in operations, that business's problems, as well as the name-calling and finger-pointing that accompanied them, would probably never have arisen. When making decisions, the moral of the story is:
- Understand and accept the real reasons behind what's being done.
- Be aware of the outcome of any action or behavior.
- Show accountability.
- Comprehend the whole picture internally (among employees) and externally (among the community and the environment).
6. Get on With It!
There's a saying in the running world that no matter what the distance, the hardest step to take is always the first one. Translated into business terms, that means taking action.
- Divide changes into manageable, comprehensive steps.
- Communicate details clearly and often.
- Provide all the continuous training needed.
- Be patient and let commitment grow.
- Don't give up no matter how alone or under siege you feel.
Perhaps I still have my ranch turnaround on the brain, but leading a turnaround is not unlike entering an equestrian show-jumping competition.
In show-jumping, a rider steers a horse (who might have other ideas) over a series of formidable obstacles while under the duress of competition. It is, as you can imagine, very difficult. When the show starts, because of an unlimited number of factors, the only thing known for certain is that the jumps will be handled one at a time.
In all three of my turnaround situations, my aim (getting over that last hurdle) was to concentrate on setting up the business so that, as much as possible, it ran itself (and wouldn't need my continued intervention). The result was a work force that could prevent problems as well as respond to them, thereby avoiding the emotional and financial drain of being in a perpetual state of crisis.

ALLIANCE, Ohio -- Mount Union head football coach Larry Kehres recorded his 300th career victory as the No. 2-ranked Purple Raiders defeated St. Lawrence, 49-0, in an NCAA Tournament first-round matchup at Mount Union Stadium on Saturday.
Sophomore quarterback Neal Seaman (Louisville/Louisville) completed 16 of 22 passes for 215 yards and four touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Cecil Shorts III (Cleveland/Collinwood) also excelled for Mount Union's offense, finishing with eight catches for 139 yards and three touchdowns.
On their first possession, the Purple Raiders turned the ball over on downs after stalling on the Saints' 16-yard line.
Two plays later, Mount Union sophomore defensive back Nick Driskill (Wabash, Ind./Southwood) made an interception and returned the ball to the Saints' 1-yard line.
Sophomore running back Jeremy Murray (Martins Ferry/Martins Ferry) rushed for a 1-yard score two plays after Driskill's interception. Senior tight end Kyle Miller (Elida/Elida) added a 4-yard touchdown reception from Seaman, giving the hosts a 14-0 first-quarter lead.
The Raiders built a 21-0 lead with a five-yard touchdown run by junior running back Zac Lemmon (Granville/Granville).
Shorts then had touchdown receptions of 13 and 11 yards to give Mount Union a 35-0 halftime lead. He added a 37-yard scoring catch from Seaman in the third quarter, which gave the Raiders a 42-point edge.
Mount Union's final score came in the fourth quarter when sophomore quarterback Matt Piloto (Rotonda West, Fla./Lemon Bay) hooked up with junior wide receiver Ben Shenk (East Petersburg, Pa./Lancaster Catholic) for a 19-yard score.
The Purple Raiders outgained the Saints, 471-100, and held a 25-8 first-down advantage.
Senior defensive back Brett Fimbinger (Dearborn, Mich./Dearborn) made an interception for the Purple Raiders in their own end zone during the fourth quarter.
Senior defensive lineman Lambert Budzinski (Canton/Massillon Jackson) had 2.5 sacks while Driskill, junior linebacker Arthurt Smith (Miami, Fla./Killian) and freshman defensive lineman Nyejel Thomas (Pittsburgh, Pa./Central Catholic) recorded a half-sack each.
With the victory, Kehres improves his career record to 300-22-3. He became the 11th college football coach in all divisions -- and the fastest -- to reach the 300-win mark.
Now in the Round of 16, the Raiders (11-0) will host Delaware Valley next Saturday at noon. Delaware Valley defeated Salisbury in the first round, 23-12.

What Factors Increase My Risk Of Developing Different Types Of Headaches?
Dr. Robert G. Kaniecki answers the question: 'What Increases Risk Of Headaches?'
-- Question: What Factors Increase My Risk Of Developing Different Types Of Headaches?
Answer: When we call the primary headaches-migraines, tension, cluster headaches-those headaches are generally seen as genetic in origin, that you develop at least a genetic tendency towards them. So there's not much you can do about that, you can't choose your parents, but you can look towards other issues.
What other risk factors might we see?
Well, for migraine, tension, and cluster, head trauma. So, head trauma's a risk factor, so avoiding situations that might place you at risk. Obviously, boxing as an occupation would not be a great choice.
And otherwise, the other key risk factor for those headaches I've mentioned, the only one we've seen is smoking for cluster headache. Smoking is a risk factor for the development of cluster headaches, but otherwise, we don't know a lot about risk factors for migraine, for tension, or for cluster. It's more or less if it runs in your family, or if you're a person who's prone to them, and it's going to develop regardless of what you do.

This comment needs updating: /* * To drop an index safely, we must grab exclusive lock on its parent * table. Exclusive lock on the index alone is insufficient because * another backend might be about to execute a query on the parent table. * If it relies on a previously cached list of index OIDs, then it could * attempt to access the just-dropped index. We must therefore take a * table lock strong enough to prevent all queries on the table from * proceeding until we commit and send out a shared-cache-inval notice * that will make them update their index lists. */ Speaking of that comment, why does a concurrent index drop need any lock at all on the parent table? If, as the current comment text says, the point of locking the parent table is to make sure that no new backends can create relcache entries until our transaction commits, then it's not needed here, or at least not for that purpose. We're going to out-wait anyone who has the index open *after* we've committed our changes to the pg_index entry, so there shouldn't be a race condition there. There may very well be a reason why we need a lock on the parent, or there may not, but that's not it. On the flip side, it strikes me that there's considerable danger that ShareUpdateExclusiveLock on the index might not be strong enough. In particular, it would fall down if there's anyone who takes an AccessShareLock, RowShareLock, or RowExclusiveLock and then proceeds to access the index data despite its being marked !indisready and !indisvalid. There are certainly instances of this in contrib, such as in pgstatindex(), which I'm pretty sure will abort with a nastygram if somebody truncates away the file under it. That might not be enough reason to reject the patch, but I do think it would be the only place in the system where we allow something like that to happen. I'm not sure whether there are any similar risks in core - I am a bit worried about get_actual_variable_range() and gincostestimate(), but I can't tell for sure whether there is any actual problem there, or elsewhere. I wonder if we should only do the *first* phase of the drop with ShareUpdateExcusliveLock, and then after outwaiting everyone, take an AccessExclusiveLock on the index (but not the table) to do the rest of the work. If that doesn't allow the drop to proceed concurrently, then we go find the places that block against it and teach them not to lock/use/examine indexes that are !indisready. That way, the worst case is that D-I-C is less concurrent than we'd like, rather than making random other things fall over - specifically, anything that count on our traditional guarantee that AccessShareLock is enough to keep the file from disappearing. In the department of minor nitpicks, the syntax synopsis you've added looks wrong: DROP INDEX [ IF EXISTS ] <replaceable class="PARAMETER">name</replaceable> [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ] CONCURRENTLY <replaceable class="PARAMETER">name</replaceable> That implies that you may write if exists, followed by 1 or more names, followed by cascade or restrict. After that you must write CONCURRENTLY, followed by exactly one name. I think what you want is: DROP INDEX [ IF EXISTS ] <replaceable class="PARAMETER">name</replaceable> [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ] DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY <replaceable class="PARAMETER">name</replaceable> ...but I also wonder if we shouldn't support DROP INDEX [ IF EXISTS ] CONCURRENTLY. It could also be very useful to be able to concurrently drop multiple indexes at once, since that would require waiting out all concurrent transactions only once instead of once per drop. Either way, I think we should have only one syntax, and then reject combinations we can't handle in the code. So I think we should have the parser accept: DROP INDEX [ IF EXISTS ] [ CONCURRENTLY ] <replaceable class="PARAMETER">name</replaceable> [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ] And then, if you try to use cascade, or try to drop multiple indexes at once, we should throw an error saying that those options aren't supported in combination with CONCURRENTLY, rather than rejecting them as a syntax error at parse time. That gives a better error message and will make it easier for anyone who wants to extend this in the future - plus it will allow things like DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY bob RESTRICT, which ought to be legal even if CASCADE isn't supported. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (firstname.lastname@example.com) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Short-tailed Kingsnake, Short-tailed Snake
Scientific name: Lampropeltis extenuata (BROWN 1890)
* Currently accepted name
* scientific names used through time
- Stilosoma extenuatum – BROWN 1890
- Stilosoma extenuatum arenicola – HIGHTON 1965
- Stilosoma extenuatum multistictum – HIGHTON 1965
- Lampropeltis extenuata – CROTHER 2008
Adults average 14-20 inches (36-51 cm) in size. The record is 25.75 inches (65.4 cm). An extremely slender gray snake with a blotched or spotted pattern. The 50-80 dark brown to black spots down the middle of the back alternate with dark spots on the sides. The light colored spaces between the black spots on the back often have an orange center giving the impression of an indistinct orange stripe running down the back. The belly is white with dark blotches. The blunt head is very small and roughly the same diameter as the body, and the crown is dark brown or black. The tail is short, comprising no more than 10% of the snake's total length. There are 19 dorsal scale rows at midbody, and the scales are smooth. The pupils are round. The juveniles are likely similar to the adults.
A. Top of the head
B. Underside of the head (chin and throat)
C. Elongated scales below the tail (subcaudal scales) are typically divided
D. Front (face view) of the head
E. Side of the head
F. Smooth scales
Range: The Short-tailed Kingsnake occurs throughout much of upland northern central Florida, west of the St. Johns River.
Habitat: The Short-tailed Kingsnake is restricted to upland pine-turkey oak woodlands and dry, sandy soiled habitats such as coastal live oak hammocks and sand pine scrub.
Comments: HARMLESS (Non-Venomous). Endemic to Florida, this species is listed by the State of Florida as a "Threatened Species," because it is restricted to limited habitats and urban development of these upland habitat areas. A burrowing species, it is seldom seen above ground. It is thought to feed exclusively, or nearly so, on the Florida Crowned Snake (Tantilla relicta). Small smooth-scaled lizards such as the Ground Skink (Scincella lateralis) may also be eaten. It lays eggs, most likely underground.
Comparison with other species: The Eastern Corn Snake (Pantherophis guttatus) has reddish–orange blotches and a belly with a black and white checkerboard pattern. The Mole Kingsnake (Lampropeltis calligaster) has a light Y-shaped pattern on the back of the head and neck, a clouded brownish belly, and reddish-brown blotches on the body. Juvenile Eastern Racers (Coluber constrictor) and Eastern Coachwhips (Masticophis flagellum flagellum) have heads larger than their necks and large eyes. Juvenile Eastern Ratsnakes (Pantherophis alleghaniensis) also have larger heads and stocky bodies.

Ireland boasts over 5,600km of pristine coastline, temperate conditions, plenty of lakes, rivers and waterways. You name the water sport, we've got it
Massive waves pick up speed as they travel across the Atlantic and crash against the Irish coast producing excellent surf in the south, west and north. The coastline also provides a great variation in the direction of breaks, meaning you can find offshore surf in every wind direction.
Spring and summer are the best times of year to surf, with August/September water temperatures averaging around 16°C. This dips, at the coldest time of year in January/February, to around 8°C. From October to April a 5mm wetsuit, boots and gloves are recommended. A 3mm wetsuit is suitable for the rest of the year. Surfing lessons for beginners, coaching for improvers, board and wetsuit hire are usually available at surf clubs around the island.
Being an island, Ireland has a long tradition of sailing. Good news for budding seafarers. With excellent ISA and RYA approved sailing schools for beginners to advanced levels, and expert companies organising bareboat, skippered, crewed and flotilla charters, the options here are overflowing. Well-equipped marinas, too, are on hand to greet those bringing their own boats to the island. Ireland regularly hosts prestigious national, European and world-class championships, so get out there and compete in your class event any time of year.
Canoeing is a rare thing in sports: an all year-round activity. Regardless of the weather, different seasons offer a huge variety of options. Among your choices are whitewater racing, leisurely canoe tours, sea kayaking, rowing challenges and canoe trails. If you're up for the challenge, the first dedicated canoe trail on the island is the Lough Erne Canoe Trail, a 50km route linking Upper and Lower Lough Erne with the Shannon Waterway.
Dive underwater along a coastline that stretches 5,600km in a season that runs from March to October. Offering visibility that averages over 12 metres, you can uncover a cornucopia of sub-aqua flora and fauna, as well as hundreds of sunken wrecks. Be sure to tell us if you find treasure.

Thrill seekers and their high-powered boats can master aerial manouevres, grabs, spins and inverts on an abundance of locations around the island. Most facilities will ask you to bring along a towel and swimsuit, with wetsuits, skis, boards and buoyancy aids all provided for you. Oh, and they'll also provide the boat, too!
The elite of the windsurfing community regard Ireland as one of the best windsurfing locations in the world. Top venues making their hit list include Brandon Bay in County Kerry, Clew Bay in County Mayo, and Portstewart in County Londonderry. Most centres will provide you with wetsuits, buoyancy aids and the latest models of windsurf appropriate for your size and level of skill. Leave the wind to Mother Nature.
Although the lure of the water sounds exciting, always remember: safety comes first. Always let people know where you are going, when you are leaving and what time to expect you back. Bring all the necessary safety equipment with you or confirm with your rental firm that safety equipment is provided, and check everything is in working order before you depart.

This month's First Friday festivities, scheduled 6-8 p.m. Dec. 6 in downtown Los Altos, take on a holiday theme – "All Aboard for the Holidays!"
The Los Altos Forward-sponsored event includes free train rides courtesy of the local American Legion; browsing and shopping at retail shops and galleries, many of which offer discounts and free refreshments; and nearly 20 restaurants serving a variety of cuisines.
In addition to partnering with the Los Altos Village Association on the return of the annual tree-lighting event (see story above), First Friday will feature drawings for hundreds of dollars in gift certificates donated by downtown merchants.
Attendees can enter either by playing the "Find the Train Tickets" game at participating merchants or by purchasing merchandise that evening.
Scheduled performers include: juggler Jonathan Luxton; cover band Fully Funded; a brass quartet from Los Altos High School featuring Janelle McAfee, Vishnu Vachani, Gabi Wachs and Daniel Noel; a guitar duo featuring high school musicians Chris Burton and TJ Lascola; the Black Mountain Radio string band; and an accordion group called the Sunday Seven.
The performers will be stationed at various storefronts throughout downtown.
Coinciding with First Friday is the opening of a new downtown addition, Helix by Exploratorium at 316/320 State St.
"Helix is thrilled to contribute to our first First Friday," said Helix Director Ann Richardson. "As you stroll along State Street, look for the cinematic projection on our second-floor window celebrating light. Join us inside Helix for hands-on explorations of light and color."
Los Altos Forward, a program of the Los Altos Community Foundation, is a volunteer group dedicated to promoting vibrancy in downtown Los Altos. First Fridays are designed to provide fun, social and community-building evenings for local residents.
For game information and to enter the drawing, visit First Friday headquarters inside Know Knew Books at 366 State St.

Remember, we had a 2 million man army and war ships…...
All fighting the Germans.
Um... what? German didn't declare war on us till a few days after Pearl Harbor. We had that low level sea war going on with the U-boats as part of lend lease, but we certainly didn't have "2 million" soldiers of any stripe doing anything.
So, why did they not invade?
Because that would have been impossible. Japan had neither the manpower, the supplies, the motivation or any reason to "invade" mainland America. Their plan was always to strike fast and strike hard and hope that they hurt us enough to sue for peace before we got our war machine into full gear. Invasion was never an option, realistic or otherwise.
Think about it: it took the full might of the US War Machine 4 years to invade and conquer Japanese bases in the Pacific to get the the point where a mainland invasion of Japan was even a possibility. At that point even the greatly weakened Japanese mainland (which was firebombed to ashes and filled with old people and children, not "hunters") posed an incredible challenge in terms of an invasion. Casualties would have been astronomical. And that was for the larger, richer, stronger nation invading the much smaller, weaker, almost dead nation. It defies all military logic to think the opposite was anything but a fantasy.

Good gravy! I'm definitely in the pro-2nd amendment & pro-private ownership crowd, yet this piece of tripe sounds so lame and desperate, it's embarrassing. Maybe it was the ridiculous font and hysterical tone...
Yes, an armed populace would prove daunting to a theoretical invading army, but as was pointed out by another commenter, that would be unlikely by any other nation's present and foreseeable resources. In any case, these same fear mongers would gladly surrender to the plutocracy right here that is was, is, and will continue to grind the hoi-polloi into the ground. Hell, they even support them by continuing to vote against their interests. Even a rolling the dice and playing a wild supposition that China would try to overrun the US....You'd have the corporate media rationalizing it as a good thing since US based manufacturers there might be harmed if we fight back, and that the ever important "consumer" ( the word "citizen" is soooo last century ) would just whither and die without China's imports.
So I just chalk this up to another right wing astroturf group attempting to distract the attention of the working class by pushing their patriotic buttons.

To a wingnut, "gun control" automatically means confiscation and surrender to communist dictatorship. Requiring licenses and safety training is just fascism! (To say nothing of denying felons and the mentally unbalanced the right to buy firearms. That would limit their ability to stalk their elected representatives.)

Everyone knows it was the NRA that won World War II, so stop reading those dumb old history books.

Bad history, bad statistics. There are about 1000 hunting accidents with 100 deaths each year in the US and Canada from hunting. Its not enough for some hunters to just enjoy their sport, but now they want to be called patriotic heroes for doing so? Give me a break. Enjoy your sport, but leave the hero title to our soldiers!

Counting hunting licenses and equating the number to anything like a "well-regulated militia" is pretty ludicrous. Folks from rural California (and, I'm sure, lots of other places) are aware how important it is during hunting season to paint "COW" on the side of your bovines that so weekend hunters don't mistake them for deer or elk or moose.

I confess to being a Boomer and was raised on the true factual reality of WWII, both the European & the Asian theatres of war. Even as a super peacenik, I find lying tripe like this incredibly *offensive.* I have relatives who died fighting in WWII, and for the NRA/guns-n-ammo-industries to send out patented lies & bullsh*t like this under the guise of patriotism (for the love of gawd) is beyond disgusting.
Sadly the push as been on for a long time to drastically dumb down the public educational system in the USA, so no doubt far too many rightwingers read (if they're actually literate) nonsense like this crap and believe it.
I would say: for shame, but per usual, the NRA & the guns 'n ammo industries wouldn't know shame if it smacked 'em upside the head with a two-by-four. This ginned up sh*t is sent to dumbos in order to suck more money out of them.
PS I really don't give a sh*t about the 2d Amendment. Own a gun if you must and hopefully use it correctly. But the notion that you'll somehow be a one-person "army" defending against so-called "foreign invaders" would be laughable if it wasn't being used to mislead dumbf*cks into spending more money on unnecessary guns and ammo.

Fershitz, you must have missed the "lets stop the harmful and violent rhetoric" speech your disaster in chief obama gave. No one truly believes this story, but your post just proves that we conservative gun owners are still one step ahead of you and your kind.

Fershitz, you must have missed the "lets stop the harmful and violent rhetoric" speech your disaster in chief obama gave.
What good is one speech against generations of Republican eliminationsist rhetoric? When an entire party shapes their identity around resentment of anyone who isn't exactly like them, to the point that they'll both advocate and practice violence, what good is one speech? Especially from the man they hate the most?
No one truly believes this story, but your post just proves that we conservative gun owners are still one step ahead of you and your kind.
Nope, a few steps behind. A few steps behind the scaremongers who continue to harvest you saps for money and votes. A few steps behind the corporate masters who actually own your party. A few steps behind the people who dupe you saps for support while at teh same time planning to sell you all down the river, because you would rather indulge fantasies and stroke your gun barrels than acknowledge reality.
A few steps behind the march of history, which (hopefully, eventually) will leave your mindset in dustbin.

To "All in the Family Four" -
Gee whillickers, Mr. Wizard, is that so?? "No one believes this story" - eh?? Then whyever was this POS lying propoganda sent out?? What's the point of it then?
I'm not clear on the point you're trying to make about Obama's speech asking citizens to stop the "harmful & violent rhetoric." Are you *projecting* that somehow *I* am spouting out how "harmful & violent rhetoric" when I tell the TRUTH and support it with facts.
Try this fact on for size:
If you conservatives are so incredibly smart, then why do we so much of this kind of incendiary lying crap being pumped out endlessly by rightwing think tanks and various corporations, esp the gun 'n ammo industries, who've done nothing but laugh all the way to the bank at how they so ginned up the rubes to get their knickers in a bunch that supposedly the "N-word" in the White House is going to - booga booga - take their stupid guns away.... that it results in Teahadists buying tons of guns 'n ammo ... needlessly.
Like Valeyard said, up above, I'm still *waiting* for Obama to take away all citizens' guns. Here's a clue: ain't going to happen, but the gun 'n ammo industry will continue to send forth propoganda, like this crap, that conservatives had better stockpile more guns 'n ammo... you know... just in case.
And btw, I'm no big Obama fan, myself. Just fyi.
