This is the best writing, delivering the best insight that I've yet read so far regarding these kinds of trying situations.

Hey Bike Girl -- one other thing. Our culture's deranged worship of the car really works against you here. If that guy could show that you left the slightest mark on his car, you could have been cited for misdemeanor damage. I know it sounds weird, but I have had several clients in this position and it is not pretty. You quickly get portrayed as a psycho bike-rider who vandalizes innocent people's cars.
The lesson -- make sure that "tap" is really a tap, and it's probably best not to touch the thing at all.

Don't do it Bike Girl, don't touch the car or the rude mean person, no matter what. Do keep a cheap quick digital camera on hand and snap a picture of the license plate. Also get names of witnesses. Then file assault charges.

Don't believe for one minute there will be zero consequences for this speedbump of an assbag. You came away from such a harrowing incident second guessing your actions and feeling as if you picked the wrong battle, but one day so will he.

Maybe in the future you can sue the bastard. In the meantime, maybe you should loudly berate the drivers drawing attention to yourself in case the driver is similarly nutty.

I second Will here. He will get his comeuppance someday. He will do something stupid when someone else does something stupid, and his pretty little luxury car will be wrapped around a pole.
After running into numerous incidents like this in the past few months (like once a day) I've come to the conclusion that the only way to fight bad driving and negative behavior is with good cycling and positive reactions. I try to be courteous and friendly with drivers so that perhaps they can see that I'm a human being and be safe around me. I've noticed it working, but also have noticed that some people are just negligent drivers and it doesn't matter.
Stay positive Bike Girl!

Bike Girl,
My approach to situations like this is that I can be an activist without being a victim.
I get the plate number and report an "erratic driver" to the police.
They are trained to handle potentially violent miscreants AND there's a good chance they will find a couple of reasons to bust someone like that.
Its not worth being right if you are also injured or...

Good read...I understand the frustration. I would say that not getting involved with agro drivers is the best response to road rage

Tapping seems like a good idea to let someone know they are about to hit you. It deters them from hitting you sometimes, and if they escalate, you can let them know you were alerting them. Tapping in retaliation for a boneheaded move, or to let someone know that they are stupid, blind, or ignorant of the traffic laws seems like a less good idea, even if well-deserved. Drivers are often reactive creatures, and you never know how they're going to react when you smack their precious.

A number of varieties of the American elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), which grows up to eight feet tall, have been cultivated for home or commercial use. The berries of the plant arrive after the clusters of white flowers and feature an array of colors including red, blue, black and yellow. The unopened flower buds can be pickled and used as a substitute for capers. Traditionally, the berries were used as a source of various violet dyes. Black dye was also made from the bark and green dye from the leaves. Additionally, all parts of the plant were, throughout various times and cultures, believed to have healing properties. Bark and root extracts were used as laxatives, leaf extracts were used as ointments for bruises, and flower water was used in eye and skin lotions. In modern medicine, the flowers are used to reduce fevers and used as a diuretic and expectorant.

The post features a number of plots like this
For me, one of the noticeable features of this figure is how much the red line does not deviate from middle. Hence, in this post I want to examine how extreme it is in the middle.
The red line, is
# cumsum(changes)
The blue lines are (repeated):
# jumps = sample(changes, 130, replace=T)
# lines(cumsum(c(0,jumps)), col=rgb(0, 0, 1, alpha = .1))
The red line, is
# cumsum(changes)
The blue lines are (repeated):
# jumps = sample(changes, 130, replace=T)
# lines(cumsum(c(0,jumps)), col=rgb(0, 0, 1, alpha = .1))
For how close the line is to the centre I use
[1] 12.81393
And the simulated distributions:
simdes <- sapply(1:10000,
function(x) sd(c(0,cumsum(sample(changes, 130, replace=TRUE)))))
Plot of distributions:
All of the simulations have a bigger sd than the original
[1] 10000
And that is why I can only say, this random jump, it is not the correct model for these data.
R code
The first part of the code is (obviously) copied, final lines are mine
theData = read.table("C:\\Users\\...\\GLB.Ts+dSSTcleaned.txt",
theData <- theData[complete.cases(theData),]
# There has to be a more elegant way to do this
theData$means = rowMeans(aggregate(theData[,c("DJF","MAM","JJA","SON")], by=list(theData$Year), FUN="mean")[,2:5])
# Get a single vector of Year over Year changes
rawChanges = diff(theData$means, 1)
# SD on yearly changes
# Subtract off the mean, so that the distribution now has an expectaion of zero
changes = rawChanges - mean(rawChanges)
# Find the total range, 1881 to 2011
(theData$means[131] - theData$means[1])/100
# Year 1 average, year 131 average, difference between them in hundreths
y1a = theData$means[1]/100 + 14
y131a = theData$means[131]/100 + 14
netChange = (y131a - y1a)*100
# First simulation, with plotting
plot.ts(cumsum(c(0,rawChanges)), col="red", ylim=c(-300,300), lwd=3, xlab="Year", ylab="Temperature anomaly in hundreths of a degrees Celsius")
trials = 1000
finalResults = rep(0,trials)
for(i in 1:trials) {
jumps = sample(changes, 130, replace=T)
# Add lines to plot for this, note the "alpha" term for transparency
lines(cumsum(c(0,jumps)), col=rgb(0, 0, 1, alpha = .1))
finalResults[i] = sum(jumps)
# Re-plot red line again on top, so it's visible again
lines(cumsum(c(0,rawChanges)), col="red", ylim=c(-300,300), lwd=3)
# new lines
simdes <- sapply(1:10000,function(x) sd(c(0,cumsum(sample(changes, 130, replace=TRUE)))))

The embroidery artist Ana Teresa Barboza, previously featured here for her arresting renditions of the human body, is at it again with her series of intricate, deconstructed landscapes. Turning her gaze outwards towards the vastness of the natural world, she celebrates the materiality of her craft, allowing her thread to spill from the boundaries of the embroidery hoop like wild nets wrenched from a tumultuous sea. Here, calm seascapes, serene pastures, and chaotic, rocky waves adopt the same sense of inexhaustibility, refusing to commit solely to embroidery and extending into the realm of the sculptural.
In this series, titled "Suspension," Barboza's medium mirrors her content. Like the art and craft of embroidery itself, her visual narratives are composed of iconography historically associated with the female: nature's rolling hills, curved waves, and fluid, moonlit water. As her pieces unravel, they express something powerful and inevitable in female desire and spirit. No longer contained by the neat frame of the traditional hoop, exuberant colors and textures spring forth from a two dimensional realm into three, interrupting the comfortable barriers that normally exist between art object and viewer. These labors of love are not meant for pillows; instead, they proudly hang on a gallery wall.
Each of Barboza's suspensions evoke folktales like those of mermaids, selkies, or sirens, woman creatures of the sea who are as frightful as they are alluring. We are presented with delicate illusions, mirages of landscapes, only to witness their dissolution into thick, tactile thread that invites our incredulous touch. Take a look. (via Colossal)

Income, Sin Taxes In Minnesota House Democrats Revenue Plan
ST. PAUL (AP) - Minnesota House Democrats are looking to fetch $2.5 billion by raising taxes on people with high incomes, those who smoke and those who drink alcohol.
A tax package released Monday boosts those taxes to balance the budget, cut property taxes and increase school aid.
Including a temporary surcharge on top earners, Minnesota would carry the nation's third highest tax rate.
It echoes Gov. Mark Dayton's income tax push but differs in the details.
Under the House bill, smokers would pay $1.60 more per pack and drinkers would see their tab rise seven cents a beer, 47 cents per bottle of wine and $1.58 on each bottle of liquor.
A yet-finished Senate tax plan would expand the sales tax to some consumer services and clothing. That isn't in the House plan.


text: The Next Generation, Coverage of 2013 Conference February 27, 2013 05:45 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Top Producer Editors Email by Julie Douglas, Ed Clark, and Sara Schafer Young farmers and ranchers gain business skills, marketing insight The 2013 Tomorrow's Top Producer conference was filled with speakers and information to provide farmers age 35 and younger the skills needed to grow their business, marketing and technology skills. More than 150 producers gathered in Chicago on the eve of the Top Producer Seminar to network and hear from leading industry experts. Joanna Carraway was selected as the 2013 Tomorrow's Top Producer Horizon Award winner. A native Missouri farm girl, she is now responsible for record keeping, financial goals, equipment operation, employee relations and crop management decisions for her multi-generation operation in Murray, Ky. Read more about Carraway on page 18. —By Sara Schafer Be Leery of Investing in Land Even though farmland value is expected to continue upward, at least for the short-term, that's not necessarily where young farmers should invest their capital, explained Brent Gloy, a Purdue University ag economist. "A great deal of pressure is on land values because incomes are up and interest rates are down," he said. This has been beneficial, but it can't continue to fuel the fire for farmland values, long-term, Gloy said. Pay attention to the Federal Reserve. "In the 1970s and 1980s, interest rates went up while capitalization rates went down," he noted. "When treasury bonds start going in the opposite direction, we need to be concerned." Farmland values are pressured when incomes increase or land values fall. "Today people aren't valuing farms based on income or prices, but what they think it will be worth in the future," Gloy said. Farmers must be good risk managers. "It's not risk when you make $100 to $450 of profit per acre," he said, asking young farmers to look at how they manage costs. Consider non-land capital investments, he encourages. "You have the power of time and compounding working to your advantage," Gloy said. "Your capital will grow with time. Invest in operational excellence. This investment pays off no matter when you make it." Gloy also advised young producers to build their management capacity, build a good understanding of the economics of your business, build relationships and invest in assets that have a high return. —Julie Douglas Charts Offer Quick Read of Market Trends The philosophy behind chart reading or technical analysis is simple: Past price trends are indicative of the future. But fundamentals still matter, said Ashley Gulke Leavitt, a market analyst for The Gulke Group. "USDA reports inevitably move the market," she said. "When you look at a chart, it paints the picture," Leavitt said. "You can choose any time frame to chart, such as daily or weekly. It also allows you to make marketing decisions ahead of time with less emotion." To begin charting, Leavitt suggested connecting the highs for a downtrend and connecting the lows for an uptrend. The more points that touch a line, the stronger the correlation. Wait for two consecutive closes on the opposite side of a trend line to confirm a change in trend. In technical analysis, "you look for support and resistance," Leavitt said. —Ed Clark Understand Your Marketing Toolbox Using futures and options can be a more conservative marketing strategy than making cash sales. "Grain in the bin is speculating," said Brian Grete, Pro Farmer senior market analyst. He stressed the importance of keeping downside price risk balanced with opportunity risk to match market conditions. Grete said the first step is to define basis, which determines not only how you should market but also which of more than a dozen market tools is best. "One -hundred percent of the risk of true hedging is basis," he noted. "Track your basis, comparing it to three, five or 10 years." To be an effective marketer, you also need to know yourself and how much price risk you are comfortable with. Are you bullish or bearish on the market? One easy-to-make mistake is euphoria during price run-ups. If corn prices reach $7.50, it's easy to develop the view that they will go to $8 or $9, he said. Last year, corn prices hit $8.43, but it took a drought to do that. "At $7.50, demand starts to erode," making sustained price increases difficult to achieve. Grete prefers sales of 10%, 15% and 20% as prices rise, but that is hard to do when things are rockin' and rollin.' Graduated sales are far easier than putting in stops on the way down, he explained. —Ed Clark Relationships Reap Benefits Showing interest in others can pay off in big ways. "You need to be able to listen and be sincerely interested in other people," said Bret Oelke, a University of Minnesota Extension agricultural business management expert. Success is powered by know-how, reputation and a network of contacts. "The formula for success is human capital, or what you know, times social capital, or who you know, times reputation, or who trusts you," he said. Farmers should ask: What do my customers desire? What can I provide? How do I establish relationships? How do I improve relationships? "Your employees are your customers," he said. "What's important to them? Is time off more important than a bonus or vice versa? Employees want to be valued and respected as an important part of the business." If you are a junior partner, Oelke said to ask what your supervisors want. "They typically want a job completed now and with minimal oversight," he said. Most farmers don't think of their partners and family members as cus-tomers, but they are, Oelke reminded. "What do they want," he asked. "They want your time and these are your most important customers." When dealing with external customers, Oelke said to keep in mind how they are paid. "Grain buyers are not in business to get the most out of your production," he said. "They're in the business to maximize their own profitability. Your task is to find out how you can help them achieve their goals while achieving your own." Try to understand what customers need from you, be responsive to their needs, find ways to lower transaction costs and do not waste their time. —Julie Douglas A Trip to the Chicago Board of Trade As a special extension of the Tomorrow's Top Producer event, a group of farmers visited the historic Chicago Board of Trade. The group saw the opening bell activity, which is much milder now than in the past. In 2012, only around 50% of options volume came from open outcry on CME Group's trading floor.

I haven't been on here in a long time, ever since the group moved to FB, but I like it here better. Glad to see people posting again.
Currently I am on Savella 2 times a day for nerve pain. Had issues with Gabapentin and Lyrica so I'm glad I'm not on either anymore.
I do take other meds as needed for the headaches, muscle issues etc. but have managed to continue to work thankfully.
But some days are tougher than others. I am not having a good day and stayed home from work to rest but my brain doesn't stop.
I hope everyone is well!

What Determines Your Car Insurance Rate?
Driving a car is a big responsibility. No matter how old you are and how long you have been driving, there are certain aspects of driving that you must pay attention to. For one, it is a law that your vehicle must be insured in order for you to drive it. Without proper insurance, you could be looking at serious legal troubles. Luckily, obtaining auto insurance in Nashville, TN, is simple when you know where to turn. Determining which company to go to for your insurance needs will come down to your personal preferences.
When selecting a new provider of car insurance, you might be curious about how the rate you are given is determined. It is important to understand that the auto insurance rate you are given is determined when insurance agents take a look at personal information about you and weigh out how much of a liability you are going to be under their coverage. Many people know that their driving history impacts the rate being given but that is far from the only factor taken into consideration. Brushing up on how the rate is determined can prove useful.
Gender and Age
Some people are already aware of this fact but gender plays a big part in the rate you receive for your car insurance. The main reason for this is because statistics show that men are more likely to get into accidents than women, especially accidents that require a large amount of compensation from an insurance provider. This alone makes policies geared towards men a bit more costly than the rates women receive. While this can seem somewhat unfair, it is important to understand that age will also play a part when it comes to gender and balance out the scales.
Men under 30 are usually paying higher rates than their female counterparts. Once an individual enters his or her 30's, rates for auto insurance in Nashville, TN, begin to even out. Of course, this begins to change again as old age approaches. After passing the age of 60, a male is once again more likely to pay higher rates for auto insurance than women of the same age. This, again, is due to the fact that men who are older 60 are more likely to be involved in an accident.
Another huge factor that is taken into consideration when determining your car insurance rate is your experience behind the wheel. If you haven't been a licensed driver for very long, an insurance provider is going to consider you a risk. This means the rates are going to be much higher until you have had a few years on the road. Teenagers are usually the biggest members of this demographic but there are plenty of adults who don't get their licenses until later. Regardless of age, your experience will have a big impact on your rates.
Driving comes with a lot of obligations. Having the right insurance is important. To get the best rates on auto insurance in Nashville, TN, be sure to do your research and learn about your options. Keep the various factors that determine your rate in mind and you will be able to know which plan is the best deal for you.

The experiment of Daniel Murphy as a role player is on hold. It remains to be seen about his career.
Weeks of hard rehab work were wasted last night when Murphy re-injured his right knee trying to turn a double-play as a second baseman while playing for Class AAA Buffalo.
"I don't think it's real good,'' Buffalo manager Ken Oberkfell told The Buffalo News. "The way he turned the double play was nice. He made the right pivot. It just looked like the guy got there late, and when Murph came down he never got out of the way once he planted his foot.''
So much for fundamentals.
There was also a school of thought the Mets could showcase Murphy's bat in the minor leagues for a deadline trade for pitching. That hope is gone now, too.
It takes skill to play in the major leagues. Also, timing and a little bit of luck. Murphy has had little of the latter two and it's shame because he's one of the very good guys as he would have done anything to help the Mets.
That now brings us to Oliver Perez. You kind of figured he wouldn't be going away – at least in the way you hoped.
Until now, Perez's selfishness has merely inconvenienced the Mets, an annoyance at best. In the next two days it could really shorthand them.
The Mets are still lobbying Perez hard to accept a minor league assignment to clear way for Jon Niese's return from the disabled list. Niese is scheduled to pitch Saturday at Citi Field; it's not known when Perez will throw a ball again in anger.

I have mentioned before that the best place to buy food in Mexico is your local tianguis (street market) and mercado (market). I'm very lucky that my neighborhood has one of each. I've written about Mercado San Cosme, my local market, where I do most of my shopping. However, there's also a great tianguis where I just recently started shopping for produce. This tianguis sets up very early every Sunday morning three blocks from my house along Sullivan Avenue.
In Mexico the most mundane of activities, food shopping for example, can be a great experience and adventure. You just have to open your senses to take in all the colors, sounds, tastes and aromas of a Mexican market. There's not much more I can say about these markets so I'll let my pictures tell you the rest of the story.

2008 Acura TSX - Saftey
TORRANCE, Calif. - Sep 12
The TSX uses technologies to offer substantial enhancements to overall vehicle safety. However, safety begins with the dynamic traits of the vehicle-in other words, how the vehicle can help its driver avoid an accident. In the TSX, such "active safety" or accident avoidance capabilities include standard Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control and anti-lock braking system (ABS). All play an integral role in the car's high safety marks.
When an accident is unavoidable, passive safety engineering provides for occupant protection. TSX passive safety begins with the vehicle's structural rigidity-its engineered-in crumple zones and sliding front sub frame-and extends to front seatbelt pretensioners and load-limiters, and to its system of airbags. These airbags include front SRS dual-stage/dual-threshold airbags, side airbags with position sensors on the passenger side, and side curtain airbags. Sensors have also been included on the front passenger side Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) unit allowing it to illuminate and then flash the seat belt reminder light (located on the instrument panel to the right of the tachometer) if the passenger side seat belt is not fastened.
Crash Safety
All of the TSX's safety technologies work in concert to help it achieve a high level of safety as shown by the following ratings:
Side Impact Rating
Besides the front offset test, one of the toughest crash-test targets in the automotive business is the side-impact test (SINCAP). The Acura TSX achieves a 5 Star/4 Star (front/rear) rating. To accomplish this, Acura used high-tensile steel around the front passenger compartment that extends behind the B-pillars (center roof pillars).
Increasing side crash protection ability in a 38.5 mph SINCAP test required using high-tensile steel and strengthening the joints around the passenger compartment. This special steel is used in 53-percent of the unit body frame. The result is the extremely high capability to absorb and distribute energy forces in a side impact and other collisions. Of particular note are two extremely strong cross-member stiffeners (under the front seats and rear floor) that markedly enhance resistance to side impacts.
Safety Features
Dual-Stage, Dual-Threshold Front Airbags
The TSX is equipped with dual-stage, dual-threshold airbags for the driver and front passenger. These airbags are designed to minimize the potential for airbag injury while providing head and chest protection for the occupants in the event of a collision.
The TSX front airbags deploy at one of two rates depending on the severity of a crash and seatbelt usage. During a lower speed collision, the airbag inflators are triggered in sequence, resulting in slower overall airbag deployment with less initial force. During a higher speed collision, both inflators operate simultaneously for full, immediate inflation to correspond with the greater impact force.
Logic is also a part of the passenger side Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) unit allowing it to illuminate and then flash the seat belt reminder light (located on the instrument panel to the right of the tachometer) if the passenger side seat belt is not fastened. Using sensors, the SRS unit notes if there is someone sitting in the passenger seat and if the seat belt is fastened. If the seat is occupied but the belt is not fastened, the seat belt reminder light illuminates and then flashes.
Side Airbag System
The airbags are located in the outboard seat side bolsters and deploy when sensors detect that a side impact is occurring. To prevent injury to a small child or small-stature adult, the innovative Occupant Passenger Detection System (OPDS) prevents side airbag deployment if the passenger is leaning into the side airbag deployment path. A total of seven sensors in the passenger seatback determine the height and position of the occupant; this helps the system determine if it is safe to deploy the side airbag. When the passenger returns to an upright seating position, the side airbag will reactivate so it can deploy and help protect the passenger in a side impact.
Side Curtain Airbags
The goal of the side curtain airbags is to help reduce head injury in a sufficient side impact. The side curtain airbag module is located in a long, slender compartment positioned along the roofline inside the vehicle. Because the airbag module extends from the A-pillar to the C-pillar, it protects both the front and outboard rear passengers.
Side-impact sensors located below the B-pillar, behind the rear seat area, and the main Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sensor unit work together to signal a side curtain airbag deployment. A gas generator located in the C-pillar inflates the airbag via a channel in the roofline.
Deployment for the side curtain airbags is extremely quick-deployment takes less than 15 milliseconds (.015 second), whereas most competitors' side curtain airbags take more than 20 milliseconds to deploy. In addition, the TSX offers a larger side curtain airbag effective area, lower bag pressure and longer bag stroke, all in the interest of providing superior protection.
Seat Belts
The front seat belts include two advanced technologies: seat belt pretensioners and load-limiters. In the first few milliseconds following an impact, the seat belt pretensioners automatically tighten the seat belts, since seat belts that are firmly secured around the passengers provide better protection. But if the deceleration forces rise above a predetermined threshold, the front seatbelt spools are designed to twist due to a metal spindle giving way in a measured fashion that further mitigates deceleration forces exerted on the body. The combination of seat-belt pretensioners and load-limiters, in conjunction with airbags, has been proven to be the best passive safety technology yet available.
Lower Anchors And Tethers For Children (Latch) System
The TSX has a Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system in the rear seat area. LATCH features ready-to-use attachment points that allow compatible child safety seats to be securely installed without using the vehicle's seat belt system.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The onboard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is equipped with location and pressure indicators that warn the driver when the air pressure drops considerably in any tire. The TPMS helps reduce the chance of losing control of the vehicle due to low air pressure. This is important because a slow leak, such as one that might be caused by anail embedded through the tread, might not be detectable immediately but would, in time, cause significant air loss, loss of grip and potentially a blowout.
A sensor mounted on each wheel continually monitors tire pressure and sends a coded signal to an initiator located inboard of the tire on the chassis. The information is then sent to an electronic control unit that compares the values of each tire against an acceptable set of values.
When a tire pressure drops significantly below the proper specification, a "check tire pressure" alert appears on the MID screen. The system can display the air pressure in all four tires simultaneously via the MID, making it simple to locate a low tire.
At the driver's preference the display can continually show the air pressure in all four tires. Regardless of whether the driver chooses to monitor the pressures, a warning will still appear if a tire drops below a predetermined threshold.
Front And Rear Crumple Zones
The TSX has advanced the use of deformable crumple zones. Together with the passive safety devices inside the car, these crumple zones contribute substantially to the high projected government crash-test ratings of the TSX. The crumple zones consist of supercomputer-modeled areas designed to provide progressive resistance to impact forces. The front and rear of the car are designed to deform in a collision to safely disperse collision forces, thereby slowing the deceleration of the passenger cabin in a controlled fashion. The sophisticated computer simulations allowed engineers to design structures that spread the impact forces through the floor of the unit body.
Sliding Front Subframe
In the event of a frontal collision, the sliding front subframe that holds the engine and front suspension can move rearward, helping to disperse crash energy. A 3.9-inch increase in the "crush stroke" (the distance that the sliding front subframe moves) over previous standards was made possible by collapsing the parts that join the subframe to the main frame.
Anti-Theft Features
To thwart would-be thieves, the TSX offers a wide array of security features including an electronic engine immobilizer. Security is also advanced by the use of reinforced door lock cylinders to help thwart break-ins, and protectors for the hood and trunk locks (located below front of the hood and inside trunk lid, respectively).

From Iran Front Page:
Iran's top security official says the Tuesday chemical incident in Syria's Idlib province was definitely caused by a third party in an effort to pave the way for the US strike on the Syrian airbase.
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani discussed the recent US military strike on Syria's al-Shayrat airbase with his Russian counterpart Nikolai Patrushev.What third party could he possibly be referring to?
The two sides conferred on the issue during a telephone conversation on Saturday, according to a Farsi report by ISNA.
During the phone call, Shamkhani underlined the need for the establishment of an independent international committee to investigate the suspicious chemical incident in Idlib.
Syria's chemical weapons had been destroyed by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in previous years, Shamkhani noted.
Therefore, he added, the Tuesday chemical attack on Khan Shaykhun was definitely launched by a third party in an attempt to create a pretext for a military attack on Syria.
A real mystery.
It is interesting that Iran is pivoting from claiming that the rebels' chemical weapons were responsible to this new, time-tested formula of blaming Israel for anything evil.
Meanwhile, Islamic Jihad said "The American raid on Syria came at the instigation of Zionism in order to divide and dismantle and weaken the countries of the region in favor of Israeli hegemony."

Politico's attack on Herman Cain this morning, and subsequent events, have been eerily reminiscent of the Democrats' ambushing of Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearing. Has anyone checked to see whether Anita Hill ever worked for the National Restaurant Association?
Cain, like Thomas, is defended vigorously by everyone who knows him:
"It's just not Herman," says Sibby Wolfson, who was Cain's executive assistant from 1997 through his first campaign for office in 2004, in a phone interview. "He's got a lovely wife, a lovely family."
Did Wolfson ever see Cain act in a way that could be construed as sexual harassment? "No, God, no," she says. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing. In fact, I think Herman was careful to act in the opposite way." …
"Never once have I ever seen anything but professional behavior" from Cain, says Matt Carrothers, who was Cain's political director from December 2003 to July 2004. "I find [the allegations] extremely hard to believe," Carrothers says in a phone interview. …
Other veterans of the 2004 campaign agree. "The allegations seem completely unbelievable to me," says Karol Markowicz, who was Cain's assistant press secretary in '04. "He was never anything but a completely perfect gentleman." She says many who worked on that campaign have the same assessment.
"Sometimes someone is nice or good to you personally but you know they behave a different way toward other people," Markowicz says. "Herman is not like that. I never saw one moment where he wavered from being an upstanding, solid person."
Mark Harris, who was Pat Toomey's campaign director in 2010, worked for Cain in 2004 and calls him a "great guy."
"My experience with him in 2004 is that he was nothing but a gentleman," Harris says in a phone interview. He says the sexual harassment allegations don't fit Cain's profile. "It's not the Herman Cain I got to know."
Ditto, says Alex Brunk, who was Cain's deputy political director in 2004. "I never saw him treat women inappropriately or heard of him treating women inappropriately," Brunk says.
So, as with Thomas, the verdict appears to be unanimous, but for the unknown woman or women who said that Cain did something (we don't know what) that offended them. Bill Clinton, on the other hand, was credibly accused of rape, among other offenses, and was described by his own wife as "a hard dog to keep on the porch." He remains the most popular figure in the Democratic Party. Go figure.

Being lazy, I thought I'd wrap up 2011 by copying the Addison Independent and making a chronology of all the noteworthy events in my year.
But I got stuck early on, when I realized that in January I only had two items to report: I finally replaced the burned-out light bulb in the fridge and I broke the handle on my windshield scraper.
For me, 2011 was not a year of living dangerously.

I walk through the Valley of Death alone
And I fear no evil
[Verse 1: Prodigal Sunn]
What I accumulate, stimulates, circulates
Through the days of the insane
Generating through veins, absorbing acid rain
Planets flee when I proceed, it's order
Exam the diameter of life, time and matter
Crucifier of evil desires, I lock all empires, is all fire
Beware of the soul cypher the last impression Armageddon
The day of the Devil's oppression
Begins and ends in a murder session
The mind'll travel, Benjamin's 7 disciples
Controller of the world we takin ya ass through another cycle
[Verse 2: 7th Ambassador]
I create havoc, like a lunatic
Cutting to the quick with my fucking icepick
Your souls I evict, ya presence is restricted because ya
Click with conflict with the injuries I inflicted
The wicked I predicted got convicted for domestic violence
So I put his hideous ass to silence
Forever shall he lay to rest in piece and there remain to see
In the belly of the beast
Just to leave Abyss, in evaporated mystery is ceased
I bring forth a new Holocaust
Death tolls by the cross, niggas took a loss
You can't escape this fatal epidemic
It's a sickness, scientists can't fix this
[Verse 3: Hell Razah]

I brake up ya chemistry and throw ya bones into heaven
You couldn't stop it, not even if you took a rocket
Wanna see more? I drag your ass down below the sea floor
And watch you burn up like knee sore
The next show you be doing is around the rainbow
Or with Hannibal, a caveman or some cannibals
And once your brain burst, I bury you under the Moon's dirt
I drag ya remains over Jupiter's turf
And teach a lesson till I reach perfection
Come down upon dickheads like yeast infection
[Verse 5: 12th Disciple]
My thoughts will leak when the speak, I can make blood leak
And pound Dracula's with the beaker
I'm freezinr niggas in this fuckinr trap like task force
When I talk I blow out all the light in New York
So light the 7 candles, coming through the desert on a camel
With light holy sandals, speaking the gospel
It's the Holy Apostle, 12th Disciple
Flip on the scripture from the fuckin Bible
Was a sin for a man that ___ Holy
I look him in his eyes and watch him die slowly
Sun of Man, I am that I am, seed of Abraham

Arsonator, the cremator, the freestyle
Evaporate like sand in the mini glass, the life, the giver the taker
A breath could death, this quietly at ya doorstep
'sept wasn't ready in the art of war for rep'
I been vet det, contest, breathe a fist, architect
Frenchmen mastermind a step, black interior deck
[Verse 7: 12th Disciple]
Thoughts interfere with devil mirrorin
Now we even steamin, because the devil is no longer vearin
Leavin my body into ya body, so you can see what I'm seein
Not a hell in my bodies limb
Now ya aggreeing that tongue is laced with acid
Stick my white fingers up in your face
Ya scream like meltin plastic
Stretch ya body put a slug in ya red basket
Talk you can respect by drinkin Christ blood from the casket
Everything I touch combusts, desintegrates into dust
Livin up my nose, boy rush, bring ya fam' not a friend
Seven signs, not seven hymns
From entering, give him lacerations from his penis to his chin
With seven pages from the book of Leviticus
And seven shots from the back to kill
Seven men with the devil's grin
Lord have mercy, forgive me Father for I have sinned
[Verse 8: 7th Ambassador]
Concede this, the White Jesus

These are Republicans: Rick Santorum tells his ilk that they will never get smart people on their side.
Now Mitt Romney has come out and said the 47% of Americans think they are victims and pay no income tax and he doesn't care about them.
There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.
Romney went on: "[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Both of these men are held up as shining examples by the Republicans as "Real Americans". In my humble opinion they are the worst of America.
Views: 142
Obama's rebuttal on Late Night with David Letterman was perfect, when he stated that one thing he had learned was that he had to be the president of ALL Americans.
Romney opens mouth, inserts foot, yet again.
I wonder if he doesn't care for the millionaires who pay no income tax or very little as he did. (Of course, he may have paid none, too, in those returns he refuses to share.)

The 15:17 to Paris
Directed by Clint Eastwood, this is the story of the 2015 Thalys train attack, when three American friends Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler and Alek Skarlatos who play themselves, discovered a terrorist armed with an AKM assault rifle and a box cutter was attacking people on board the moving train they were on, which was en route to Paris.
The three men, two of whom were off-duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces, realized something was up when a passenger ran past them in a panic. Calmly walking in the same direction just moments afterwards was a terrorist carrying a gun and other weapons. The three men decided immediately to jump in to stop the gunman. This is their story.
Based on the autobiography The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Heroes by Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos and Jeffrey E. Stern.
