text: DUBLIN (Reuters) – Irish consumer prices increased by 0.4 percent on an annual basis in August, the fastest rate reported since April, data showed on Thursday. Consumer prices also rose 0.4 percent on a monthly basis in August, after a decrease of 0.2 percent the previous month. Prices were unchanged on an annual basis in July. Ireland has been the European Union's fastest growing economy for three years, but inflation has remained broadly flat over the period. Price increases over the past 12 months were most pronounced in housing, utilities, restaurants and hotels, the central statistics office said in a statement.(Reporting by Conor Humphries; Editing by Alison Williams)

This post, like so many others coming, is not carefully edited. It is not rehearsed. It is a "fly by the seat of my pants," no BS, "what you see is what you get," "let'salljustbehonestandrealbecauseforGod'ssakelifeistooshortandcan'twealljustgetalongandloveeachotherandstopbeingcrazyjudgmentalassholesandbuildeachotherupsothatweallfeellikewehaveafriendthatlovesusforwhowearebecausewearefriggin'awesomeandwhatthehellamIdoingbecauseIdon'thaveaplanandisn'tthatcrazyandthisrunonsentence/wordismakingmymindhurtbecauseI'mstillateacherdespitebeingaspaz" first post.
See that last sentence thing? According to every English teacher I've ever had, that is supposed to be my topic statement. That rambling incoherent mess of thoughts and love. You know what? No editing needed. That's life and there's no filter for that.
My intention is to build people up.
My intention is to be real.
My intention is to make you see that despite the fact that my children have consumed blueberry muffins for lunch every day this week, I am reaching for the stars and you should too.
What is your passion? Mine is awakening other people's passions. Validating other people's passions. Building up other people's passions.
The way I figure it, we have an average of 78.74 years on this Earth and we damn well better leave it a better place. You don't have to be the president (of the United States… or the PTA either, really) to make a difference. You can make people feel like they matter. Every day. You can listen, you can care, you can do small things to leave this Earth better than you found it. You can MESS UP.
Because after all, LIFE is what makes our planet spectacular. And you get one of them. As my husband always says, (which apparently I have The Shawshank Redemption to thank for) is "Get busy living or get busy dying."
So, as I do with nearly everything in my life, I'm going to start this blog… with a wing and a prayer. If you are thinking about going for some big, crazy dream, start with a step. Like this.
Walk with me.
If you're ready to test the waters with both feet, jump with me.
If you have no clue what you're doing, but you have faith every day that you can do it with love, and kindness, and acceptance, and a healthy dose of fear…
Then, my friend, you can soar with me.
We may crash into a cliff.
But we may be what someone else needs to fly.
That's MY goal in life… I am either going to soar being the feather someone needs in their wings, or I'm going to crash and burn.
So, let's all just do me a favor and keep me away from vertical rock faces.
Thanks, y'all.
Here we go!

The good news is that a cabin designated 'fully restricted view' will not prevent you from sitting on the balcony. However,the bad news is that you will have a lifeboat immediately in front of the balcony obliterating the view. You should able to glimpse the sea below the lifeboat. I assume you are in one of the following cabins 8040, 8042, 8043, 8049? A couple of years ago we were thrilled to find we had been upgraded to a balcony suite, only to discover itwas a 'fully restricted view'. We did still get the sun shining onto the balcony for part of the day. Happy cruising...Jan .
I was in 8049 a fortnight ago. Lovely to have fresh air from a balcony suite even if you have to peer round a lifeboat to see the view... Also a plus from this cabin when at a port using the tenders... the view opens up as your lifeboat is used as a tender. That apart - you do get some sunshine for part of the day too. I was very happy with my cabin.

Dog Collars And Leashes
When it comes to dog collars and leashes, you can either go out and buy the first product that strikes your fancy, or you can put a bit of thought into the purchase, before you buy.
I'm the first to admit that the easy approach is appealing, especially when there are so many varieties to choose from. But, we're talking about Rover here, your best buddy and pal! He deserves a little more care when it comes to his needs, don't you think? Not only that, but you will see that there are many unique dog collars as well as leashes that are designed for different purposes. Many owners find dog training leashes are necessary in addition to regular everyday leashes.
So if you're up for a little bit of effort, I'll try to help you out with a few pointers. Included in the listings will be a range of collars and leashes even though you may never need to consider some of them for your pet.
Ready? O.K., let's go.
Dog Collars And Leashes - Style And SizingAside from the type and style of dog collars and leashes you decide is best for your dog, the next important part is to get the right size and strength. This goes for harnesses also. Collars should be selected based on the size of your dog - obviously you don't need a big monster of a collar for a little cockapoo. Make sense? Likewise don't choose a flimsy collar for a big strong dog.
When measuring for a dog collar, think safety and comfort. Here's a guideline for a fitting that is comfortable for your
dog, but not loose to the point where he can give you the slip. After attaching his collar, there should be a two-finger width of
wiggle room between his neck and the collar. This should also prevent any problems with chafing or hair loss.
that important step covered, let's get right down to...
Types Of Dog Collars
But, fashion aside, here's how it briefly breaks down into
types - we will cover more details on separate pages of the website, so just look for the links to find those covered so far. The
listings that follow are informational only and not endorsements of one product over another.
Dog Harnesses and Head Collars
The idea is to give the handler more control on a walk while gently getting the dog to cooperate. Head collars are more geared toward basic training commands such as sit, stay etc., in addition to leash training. Among the varieties available are:
Other Everyday Dog Leashes And Collars
Other types of leashes include the retractable types which let you control how much leash you let out, ostensibly giving your
dog more or less freedom to roam on his walks.
Cotton dog collars and leashes - I personally like the 100% ones made in America.
They are economical, washable, eco-friendly and come in naturally dyed colors.
And finally, tie outs. I'm not really
in favor of these, with the possible exception of using them for travel purposes.

Plastic Fabric
This week's Plastic Free Friday had me feeling a little sad. I came across the story of the Great Pacific Garbage patch, discovered by captain Charles Moore, and was even more devastated by the state of our oceans.
In an area twice the size of Texas, Moore and his crew found what can only be described as plastic soup. These patches are almost entirely made up of tiny bits of plastic, called micro-plastics. Since his discovery, Moore and his team have been doing research on marine life and found that a majority of sea life, has plastic debris in their intestines. In another study, Professor Sherri Mason, who also studies aquatic pollution, was alarmed to find synthetic fibres in the fish she had been researching.
These fibres are from synthetic fabrics like Fleece, Nylon and Polyester. A single synthetic garment can shed thousands of synthetic microfibres in a single wash. Patagonia recently commissioned a research project to investigate microfiber pollution in the apparel industry, and found that even though wastewater treatment plants filter 65 to 92 percent of microfibers entering their system, they still release a significant volume of waste into the environment. The extend of the effect this pollution is yet unknown.
Fabric softeners
This weeks Plastic Free Friday tip goes a little further than simply cutting down on plastic. In addition to doing the planet a favour you'll also possibly be benefiting your health.
Many sources claim that fabric softeners contain chemicals that are not just bad for the environment, they could potentially be hazardous to your health. The so called "quaternary ammonium compounds" found in these products have been linked to respiratory and other health problems while the fragrances are known to cause skin irritations and allergic reactions.
Some call these notions a myth, but if you think about it; it really doesn't make sense to expose your biggest organ to any chemicals, let alone potentially harmful ones. There are plenty of articles out there outlining just why fabric softeners should not make it into your shopping cart, so you can decide for yourself.
I stopped using fabric softeners more than a year ago. And truthfully, I do not miss it. Now and again I use some white vinegar in my rinse cycle. Sure it doesn't smell like a rosebush, but it doesn't smell like vinegar either. It's actually a disinfectant and kills bacteria that causes bad odours, so you're clothes do end up smelling better. Apart from being incredibly cheap, my favourite part of using vinegar is that I can buy it in a glass bottle. Bonus points for living plastic free!
Just skip the plastic bags
Buy in bulk
Safer razors
I got this idea after seeing a post by thezerowastegirl on instagram. I've been using (and dreading) an epilator for the last three years, and it's been pretty tough. So I'm quite keen to try out a safety razor. According to goingzerowaste the blades are recyclable, lasts longer and are much cheaper then conventional blades. There you have three more reason to ditch the plastic blades for old school ones.
Dishwasher safe
Soap for your dishwasher is most probably not the most environmentally friendly product you'll drop into your trolly. But it can be plastic free. Many manufacturers sell dishwasher soap as granules or in powder form. This may not be the most convenient option, but it can be more economical – you can decide how much or how little to use. I couldn't find any "boxed" powders at my drogerie (they were all just in plastic) but I did find these "umweltfreundliche" tabs – they are free of phosphates and covered in a water soluble packaging, so no more tiny bags of useless plastic. Yay!
Plastic free Friday NO.13
All that glitter's not gold.
On my home-made-christmas post last year I mentioned that more than half of the christmas decorations produced are made in China. Hard to believe since China does not even celebrate christmas. When I was little the best part of decorating our christmas tree was making the decorations. We used to draw pictures that we coloured in and cut out. My mom would then put a string on it and hang it in the tree. When I think about it, it probably didn't look great. But it was super special. And that is what xmas should be all about – not shiny plastic crap that break and fill up our landfills, but lovingly made treasures that we can keep forever and when it does break, simply decomposes.
Plastic free Friday NO.12
Earbuds… Not even meant for ears at all.
Plastic free Friday NO.11
Plastic free Friday NO.10
Tea bags
Plastic free Friday NO.9
Tissue issue
Plastic free Friday NO.8
Conscious gifts
I love wrapping presents. Love it! I get all excited and always ask people if I can wrap their gifts for them. Christmas is my favourite time of the year, largely due to this. This was before I considered the environmental impact of gift wrap and plastic ribbons. Many wrapping papers are laminated plastic film, or dyed with synthetic inks, which makes them problematic to recycle. And the sticky tape that holds it together is often not recyclable at all. So next time I wrap a gift, I'm going to keep this in mind and use all the brown paper I collect from deliveries or maybe even make my own.
Plastic free Friday NO.7
What happens when it goes down the drain…
I'm not much of a skin-care-product enthusiast. My skin is happiest when I just rinse it with water. But every now and then, a good old scrub is nice. As it turns out though, some companies put crazy ingredients like plastic in their facial scrubs. They're commonly know as microbeads but you may have seen them under more dubious names like polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polymethyl methacrylate, polylactic acid etc. These are so bad for the environment that many governments have already banned their use. But sadly, dodgy ingredients still make it into our products. Maybe it's time to be a bit more sceptical of what we put on our skin; time to ask questions like, where do the ingredients come from, and where do they end up? Cause if they're putting plastic in face wash, what else is okay to put in there? I think the next time I feel like exfoliating, I'll just make my own scrub. That way I'll also skip the plastic container it comes in. Double win for the planet.
Plastic free Friday NO.6
Balloons are just bad.
I read the other day that the amount of balloons and balloon pieces found on the beach, have tripled in the past 10 years! Filled with helium, these colourful chocking-hazards fly far out of sight, often settling in remote places, where they're consumed by animals, only to wreck havoc on their digestive tracks. Balloons kill wildlife. If you don't believe me, here is some very grim evidence. Next time you have a party, make some fabric bunting or paper lanterns like these ones. I am never, ever buying balloons again. I don't think you should either.
Plastic free Friday NO.5
It's been a while.
With all the excitement of summer I've been pretty bad at keeping my promise to post plastic-free tips. I'm sorry people. Admittedly, my wheels came off a little and I have strayed from the path of plastic free shopping. But with the spring starting in the south, now is perhaps the best time to get started again. So in the spirit of new beginnings I've decided to change the theme ever so slightly. Hope you like it!
Plastic free Friday NO.4
The best thing since sliced bread is freshly baked bread!
I've eaten many many marmite sandwiches in my live. Sometimes some with fish paste too. Sliced bread is great. But freshly baked bread is better, especially if you can get it from your local bakery instead of the supermarket. It's even better if you bake it yourself. But feeding a starter isn't everybody's thing. It's definitely not mine. So the next time I'm buying bread, I'm getting one without the plastic.
Plastic free Friday NO.3
This one's for the meat lovers out there. It's virtually impossible to buy meat without some type of packaging, so the idea here is to at least buy the option with the least amount of waste.
For instance, instead of buying four individually packaged packs of mince, rather go to the butchery section of the store and get 1kg of mince in one go. This way you end up with one set of packaging versus 4, and you can separate the meat into smaller amounts at home before you freeze it. It also works out much cheaper, so it's a win for your pocket and the environment.
Plastic free Friday NO.2
There's something about grabbing a "to-go" coffee on my way to work that just makes me feel cool. But actually it's not cool. Because the coffee lasts for maybe 2mins and then it's into the bin with the cup and lid.
So from now on, I will either stop, and have my coffee "to-stay", or I'll take one of those nifty cups with the silicone lids (those ones from Mr Price) along with me to work. This zero-waste CEO I read about uses a mason jar, which I guess could also work. But maybe you really don't have time to sit down and maybe you really just need the coffee. Perhaps then, you just take the cup, leave the lid and don't stir with that silly plastic stick.
Plastic free Friday NO.1
Between two evils, choose the one that leaves no trace
I first posted "my plastic free life" suggestion on Facebook and people seemed really inspired by it. So I thought I'd create a page for it on my blog, so people can go back to it and pass it along. So if you haven't seen the Facebook post, here is suggestion NO.1. Now you have an excuse to choose the cone!
Paper cups are often laminated with plastic in order to make it watertight and are therefore not valued as pure paper, making it tough to recycle. And that pretty pink spoon is exactly the stuff you see sticking out in beach sand. Rather choose the cone, you don't have to eat it (it's biodegradable).
Plastic free Fridays
There's this video going around on Facebook with Jeff Bridges and the dire plight of our world filled with plastic. It is really sad. We use 17 million barrels of oil to produce plastic water bottles every year–this is something like 2703 000 000 litres, enough to fuel 1million cars!!! But the thing that really got to me in the video was the fact that plastic pieces on the oceans surface now outnumber sea life 6 to 1!
Since recycling is not a real solution because plastic never goes away, I've embarked on a mission to simply stop buying plastic things. And it's actually really hard. There are so many little things we chuck away without even realising it; just the type of things they find in animal bellies. But I'm going to give it my best shot, and every time I manage to make a plastic free purchase, I will share it with you. Perhaps it will inspire you to do the same.

Statement From NLS.../
FSX/P3D. As we well know, NLS has not been without it's struggles as it attempts to develop a fully simulated rendition of the world's largest commercial jetliner. First with the cancellation of the project, then with a resurgence after a scam out of Iran set out to sell the project to potential customers. Things were going well for a while till things went silent again. This time, the silence comes as the worst news yet from the developer:
"It is time for an update from my side: the reason of the long silence is that my mother passed away on the 5th of June after a very serious illness. My life was not the same from one day to the other, and as you can imagine, the last months were a nightmare for me. Life goes on, even if you wish that it would stop, but thats life. For a while I was like paralized, and my brain was out of service, thats the reason why I had to stop (pause) my work on the A380. It will take a while, but I hope that I will recover very soon from all the bad things that happened to me in the last months. I am sorry that I do not have better news for you guys.
Take care, -Chris."
We wish all the best to Chris and his family.

Julianne Hough's Suede Shoes — Shop Exact $90 Pair For Shoesday Tuesday
Julianne Hough headed to NYC to do press for 'Grease: Live,' and she rocked an adorable outfit. We are obsessed with her suede heels and you can SHOP the exact same pair for under $100!
Julianne Hough is so cute we can't even handle it! Julianne, 27, always looks so girly and put together — her style is amazing. We especially loved her outfit when she headed to Grease: Live AOL Build Speaker Series in NYC on Jan. 18. We love seeing her do press for her upcoming, live televised show because she is always rocking some sort of cute outfit. This time, we were especially obsessed with her shoes and you can SHOP the exact pair here for under $100!
Julianne rocked a cream crochet crop top and paired it with a high-waisted black lace and mesh Self Portrait skirt. This outfit was so perfect and she looked so tiny and toned, as always. We have to say, though, we are obsessed with her shoes!
Her nude suede heels are so simple and cute and we're freaking out because you can get her exact pair for less than $100. She rocked the ALDO Cicci High-Heel Sandals in Bone and they are everything. Not only are they super affordable, they are so versatile.
The fact that they're suede makes them perfect for winter, but because they're nude sandals, you can also wear them in the fall. You can rock them with a skirt and a cute crop top like Julianne, or you can even wear them with high-waisted jeans or pants and a top. They are the perfect accessory to also wear from desk to dinner or even a night out.
What do you guys think of Julianne's adorable heels? Will you SHOP for them?

Eyelash extensions last a mean of six to 8 weeks, depending upon how they are cared for. They start falling out naturally as the eyelashes grow. To prevent losing the look entirely, wearers should get a light touch-up to a month of the extensions every 3 weeks.
There are lots of means to assist the eyelash extensions last so long as possible. While they don't last more than the eyelash development cycle, there are methods to keep them for up to 8 weeks.
For example, a wearer after getting extensions, sleeping on her back for the initial few nights helps immensely. Wearers must be quite mild when removing and applying eye make-up, making certain to never pull or rub hard on the lashes. Oiling the lashes additionally helps, which can be finished with baby oil. Wearers should steer away from playing or touching with the eyelash extensions too much.
Eyelash extensions are a synthetic, semi permanent add-on stuck to natural eyelashes in order for you to reach longer and thicker -looking eyelashes. When contemplating eyelash extensions, the salon professional to be asked by the 3 fundamental things are how long they will last, how natural they look as well as the affect they can have on natural lashes. The techniques and supplies of each salon might change.
Based upon the adhesive, lash material and aftercare, lash extensions can last till the lash that is natural is lost throughout the development cycle that is standard. Most salons advocate replacing lashes that are lost every 4 weeks.
It is important to be comfortable with the ingredients of adhesives and the lash that are used and how to care for them. An FDA-approved, artificial lashes medical grade adhesive as well as a certified stylist help ensure results, the top use and wear.
Apply makeup remover
Purchase some non or an eyelash adhesive remover -oil-base makeup remover. Put on the makeup remover to the line of the eyelashes using a cotton swab. Let the makeup remover to place in for the time recommended on the bottle.
Shove on down the eyelashes to remove
Hold the false eyelashes with one hand and make use of a cotton swab to shove down them. Pull softly down to take away the false eyelashes. Use tweezers for clump lashes or for individual faux lashes.
It is important to get rid of the eyelash adhesive from false lashes to make them reusable. Use a cotton swab to gently apply from then on use tweezers to carefully pull the rest of the adhesive off the back to the backside of the eyelashes and alcohol. Place aside to dry and after that store them for later use.

There are seven bands named Pandemonium:
The band with the most songs uploaded on this page is the currently active swedish death metal-band. For more info see below.(3)
1. The 1st Pandemonium was a dutch hardcore punk band that existed from 1981-1986.
Pandemonium started around mid-1981 with Danny and Peter in the original line-up. Danny's brother Rowdy joined shortly after as we couldn't find a drummer. They started from scratch, none of them ever played (besides Danny a little) guitar or drums before. All bandmembers were already friends since kindergarten. At the age of 14 they went to see a UK SUBS gig in 1980 which was the final push to really start something. The first rehearsals were in the attic of Pet...

We are absolutely in love with Ariana Sky!
On Friday, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro posted the (above) pic on Instagram Story of his one-month-old daughter wearing an adorable cat t-shirt!
Photo: First Pic Of Jen And Ronnie's Baby Girl
As we wrote, on the same day Jersey Shore: Family Vacation aired an episode where the 32-year-old denied cheating on his baby momma Jen Harley, Harley posted a cryptic message on Insta where she seemingly took aim at Ariana's father.
Jen wrote:
"Don't allow someone who talks to you in a snobby, condescending, rude manner get to you or intimidate you. That is a sign of an insecure person trying to appear superior to you. Arrogance and condescension in always a sign of weakness."
According to a People report published earlier this week, the two — who broke up on April 30 after an explosive social media fight — "are speaking civilly and trying to make sure Ariana has the best life possible."
Geesh! So much drama with this family!

Spies Like Dooku & Batman's Vacation
Every week Hannibal Tabu (two-time Eisner-winning journalist/blogger/novelist/poet/jackass on Twitter/head honcho of Komplicated.com) goes to a comic book store called Comics Ink in Culver City, CA (Overland and Braddock — hey Steve, Jason, Vince and Quislet) and grabs a whole lotta comics. These periodicals are quickly sorted (how) into two piles — the "buy" pile (a small pile most weeks, comprised of planned purchases) and the "read" pile (often huge, often including comics that are really crappy but have some value to stay abreast of). Thursday afternoons you'll be able to get his thoughts (and they're just the opinions of one guy, so calm down, and here's some common definitions used in the column) about all of that … which goes something like this …
Star Wars Agent of the Empire: Hard Targets #4
(Dark Horse Comics)
Oh, Jahan Cross, you scoundrel! He manages to anger and then befriend the former bodyguard of Serreno's count, just in time for the galaxy's most dangerous bounty hunter (who speaks almost exclusively in Hemingway sentences) to subcontract the kidnapping of a young boy caught in the middle of galactic politics. The locales are exotic and well depicted (there's a great two page splash), the pacing and action are gripping and there's decent character work as well. Like an athlete in a contract year, John Ostrander's script performs at an all-star level, and the artwork from Davide Fabbri, Christian Dalla Vecchia and Wes Dzioba makes every moment work. With the wonderful backdrop of an Empire solidifying its power (and when you really look at that, it paints this story in a much more interesting light than the light fare one might presume), this is the "Star Wars" comic we've been waiting for.
Batman and Robin Annual #1
(DC Comics)
Jump from the Read Pile.
With a refreshing balance of action scenes and emotional connections between characters, this issue went a long way to cement the relationship between Bruce Wayne and his often bloodthirsty son. We also get a very rare glimpse into the life and romance of Thomas and Martha Wayne, discovering elements that might not even contradict things that have gone before. Taking a moment to see a smiling Batman, having Bruce Wayne play soccer with kids in Barcelona … this comic book charms you with almost every panel. Peter Tomasi's script, the artwork from Ardian Syaf, Vicente Cifuentes and John Kalisz … this is a comic book you'll cherish, one that characterizes this teaming of Batman and Robin wonderfully, with a cross-continental plot that rocks. A sheer treasure.
Wonderful, wonderful stuff here.
Honorable Mentions: Stuff worth noting, even if it's not good enough to buy
"Hawkeye" #7 looked at how the Archer Avenger and his "ward" dealt with Hurricane Sandy. Realistic, gritty … and a little dry. Not a bad issue, by any stretch of the imagination, but nowhere near as engrossing as previous issues.
If you want to talk about engrossing plots, "The Activity" #11 posited the idea of terrorists with high explosives in a major metropolitan US city. Add a ticking clock and this procedural never slowed down to let you catch your breath. Mixing solid detective work with a delightful dash of surprising scientific futurism, this would have Carrie Mathison atingle with anticipation. If this issue even had a quarter inch of characterization, it would be amazing. It didn't, though.
"The Darkness" #110 is more expository than narrative, but it does get to the bottom of a number of things about Jackie's deteriorating marriage, his relationship to the Angelus and the Witchblade and just how bad things can get. It helps the overall story along, but this issue didn't stand well on its own.
In "Batman Incorporated" #7, the only person who didn't spend most of the issue getting beaten down like he stole something was Damian Wayne. This issue was all right, but a slight dip in quality from previous ones as Leviathan's threat became more personal and the status quo stayed fairly static from the first page to the last.
If you love this property, you'll run to grab "Adventure Time" #12, a quip-laden all-ages romp that has fun while entertaining, It never really goes anywhere, but that's kind of its point, just kind of meandering and being whimsical. If that's your thing, you'll simply love this.
"RIPD: City of the Damned" #3 is a well drawn and colored horror/western pastiche that has two supernatural lawmen finding unholy common ground with a former enemy, all to try and clean up a mess before anybody really serious discovers what happening. Fans of "Preacher" and "Hellblazer" might find some of these story elements familiar, even with the stock characterization, and for those kinds of fans this is likely a very rewarding issue, one not plagued with the indistinct visuals of some other essays into the supernatural.
"Hack/Slash" #23 was also fairly procedural as the two leads take on a plot to poison thousands of people with crappy soda. The stakes seem kind of plain Jane and again there's not much room for characterization, but the art has a gritty intensity to it and the plot is relentless in a good way. This issue is at least TV good, as it'd be hard to change channels away from it.
"Superior Spider-Man" #2 is, in fact, smarter than the Spider-Man we've seen before, with a better way of handling things than anything Peter ever dreamed up. However, his approach to dating is spectacularly incompetent, and watching it fail was both sad and creepy. Working with a kind of weird ethereal Jiminy Cricket over his shoulder was, however, super-annoying and that cut out the enjoyment that could have been had.
"Green Hornet" #33 showed a new man behind the mask, an armored guy who is willing to get all Curtis Metcalf on the bad guys. Britt Reid and Kato are both MIA and this issue is a thematic shift from the guns-and-fists pulp vibes you may expect from the Hornet. Not bad, with some actual super villains, but kind of rolling over very well worn, familiar roads.
It's hard to hide a secret when the eyes of the world are literally on you, and "Mara" #2 shows that as a globally-marketed athlete starts cracking under the pressure. Super speed? Super strength? Abilities far beyond mortal man have the normals up in arms instead of cowed and fearful. Too short and not really showing its cards about what its protagonist actually knows, but having a good "The Island"/"Logan's Run" kind of energy to it.
"Injustice: Gods Among Us" #1 reads like a very intense fan fiction, positing a situation where the Joker can push Superman too, too far. If you like that sort of thing, or are amped for the new game and need to know the background, well, here ya go.
The "Meh" Pile Not good enough to praise, not bad enough to insult, not important enough to say much more than the title
"Aquaman" #16, "Avengers" #4, "Invincible" #100, "Mars Attacks: Zombies vs. Robots," "Glory" #32, "Dark Avengers" #186, "Batman Beyond Unlimited" #12, "Dark Shadows" #13, "Executive Assistant Iris, Volume 3" #2, "Punisher: Nightmare" #5, "Angel and Faith" #18, "Green Lantern Corps Annual" #1, "Criminal Macabre: Final Night — The 30 Days of Night Crossover" #2, "Punisher: War Zone" #4, "The Shadow" #9, "Emily and the Strangers" #1, "Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men" #16, "Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World" #32, "Talon" #4, "Orchid" #12, "Damsels" #5, "Superman" #16, "Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time" #1, "Flash" #16, "Journey Into Mystery" #648
No, just … no … These comics? Not so much …
"Red Lanterns" #16 was, in fact, a symphony of stupidity. Atrocitus manages to, using "blood magic," convert the entire Manhunter organization to something resembling space Catholicism so they can team up to go kill the Guardians, as if either of them could ever accomplish such a feat. Atrocitus, the space pope. Sure, why not? Also, the Red Lanterns apparently have a security guard named after an Autobot medic, for some reason. Really, scarily bad.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, wait, it gets worse. "X-Treme X-Men" #9 is like somebody sat in a comic book store and tried to come up with every possible bad mutant-minded idea at the same time, then jam 'em into one comic book. Taking the old "Exiles" "Sliders" shtick and popping in Elseworlds versions of mutants (there are two Dazzlers, for the love of pie) including: a Cyclops who's Black and fought in the Union Army, the severed head of Chuck Xavier (because, apparently, Futurama is fair game), Steampunk Gay Wolverine, Gay Hercules (in love with Steampunk Gay Wolverine) all fighting against (not making this up) Lord Xavier, Witch King of Gha-No-Sha. Did we mention this is just a part of their struggle against a series of parallel universe evil Chuck Xaviers? Let's stop talking about this.
"Before Watchmen: Dollar Bill" #1, by comparison, was a lesser shade of terrible, racked with cliches (including Dewey, Cheatham and Howe from the old Johnny Carson days), tedious and dull adventurism, flat characterization, an ending that somehow makes something stupid even stupider, all while Alan Moore slowly seethes and tries to buy scrapings of Dan Didio's skin off of eBay to complete his voodoo torture doll. Like waking up, over and over, and realizing that you are underneath Meat Loaf. Abominable.
"He-Man and the Masters of The Universe" #6 reveals some odd things on its way to a cliche battle with Skeletor being really, really stupid (like he wanted to lose, almost). However, that comic book was like reading a Pulitzer nominee compared to "Masters of The Universe: The Origin of He-Man" #1, which had no actual elements of an origin, few actual instances of character and virtually no plot. This comic book strove mightily, reaching for the levels of awfulness achieved by the first six issues of "Superman/Batman" or "Spider-Man: House of M." Not good.
… there really were a lot of bad comics this week, weren't there?
Numerically, it was still mostly "meh," and there was a jump, so even after the really, really bad books … eeeehhhh, that's kind of like a wash.
As of right now, you can spend ten bucks and get about 175,000 of fiction from the writer of this column. The links that follow tell you where you can get The Crown: Ascension and Faraway, five bucks a piece. Love these reviews? It'd be great if you picked up a copy. Hate these reviews? Find out what this guy thinks is so freakin' great. There's free sample chapters too, and all proceeds to towards the care and maintenance of his kids … oh, and to buy comic books, of course. What are you waiting for? Go buy a freakin' book already!
Got a comic you think should be reviewed in The Buy Pile? If we get a PDF of a fairly normal length comic (i.e. "less than 64 pages") by no later than 24 hours before the actual issue arrives in stores (and sorry, we can only review comics people can go to stores and buy), we guarantee the work will get reviewed, if remembered. Physical comics? Geddouttahere. Too much drama to store with diminishing resources. If you send it in more than two days before comics come out, the possibility of it being forgotten increases exponentially. Oh, you should use the contact form as the CBR email address hasn't been regularly checked since George W. Bush was in office. Sorry!

White Oak Trail is a 2.5 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Newport News, Virginia that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
kid friendly
nature trips
paddle sports
trail running
wild flowers
We have done this one a few times. Lots of wildlife. We see deer almost every time. It is a very easy walk in the woods.
Great to run and then in reverse to get in a nice 5 miles.
Nice hike through civil war history. The earthworks are amazing to see and learning about the history is awe inspiring. Great views of the reservoir.
Short but nice trail. There are plenty of overlooks and benches. Well maintained although you will need to watch for occasional roots in the path. Excellent trail for dogs as it is mostly shaded and not too long in the heat of the day.
This trail is very nice. Perfect for a good walk,it has lake,woodland and swamp views. It's also a great connector to get to other trails if you want to get some real distance...I highly recommend it.
Love this trail it has pretty woods and beautiful wildlife it's got enough up and down hills that makes it a small challenge. Yes there is a good amount of people on it but I view that as a safer trail for a female (or anybody) to run on incase anything we're to happen biggest downside is the roots from the trees, it's a trail you definitely have to pick your feet up on because take it from me you WILL trip
Great walk in the woods. It is close to the house and easy to get too.
Quick afternoon hike. Kids can bike or kick soccer ball. Playgrounds and frisbee golf also
Meriwether B.
Rather busy trail, but a nice connector between Sycamore Creek and Fire Swamp, that's great stuff!
I love this trail, but it can be busy on a nice day. It crosses the reservoir on a wooden bridge and later up at the swamp end on another wooden bridge. Besides running across the lake and along it, passing historic earthworks, it runs through beautiful forrest.

2015 Audi Q3 Calgary AB
Of all the vehicle segments on the market, none are gaining as much popularity as the luxury crossover segment, as the SUVs that reside in the class are able to provide a range of appealing capabilities that make them great for a wide variety of lifestyles and personalities. Not only are they able to deliver the space of an SUV, but the sportiness and fuel economy of a smaller sedan as well. Although just about every vehicle in the class is able to deliver the balance, but none are quite as capable as the Audi Q3.
Here at Audi Royal Oak, we continue to receive shipments of the latest 2015 Audi Q3 in Calgary AB, and if you have a growing family, or are simply looking to upgrade to a vehicle with a bit more space, we highly suggest that you look into the Audi Q3. As we said, we have quite a few models of the crossover available on our lot, but before you decide whether or not you want to make the journey to test out all that the impressive Q3 is capable of, allow us to fill you in on some important features of the luxury SUV.
Features of the 2015 Audi Q3
The 2015 Audi Q3 is classified as a compact luxury crossover, which means that it is the next step up from a full-sized sedan. Much like a sedan, it offers seats for up to five passengers, but where it really differs is in the amount of space that you can find behind those seats. Even with all seats at capacity, you have access to 16.7 cubic feet of space behind the second row. If you are ever in need of more space, you will be sure to appreciate that the seatback can be folded down, opening up even more cargo room.
As the Audi Q3 is able to haul such an impressive amount of passengers and cargo, it requires an engine that is able to propel it down the road, and with the exclusive 2.0-liter four-cylinder in place, you never have to worry about having enough power—even when the Q3 is filled to the brim. The powertrain has the ability to produce 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, which is impressive for its size. Also, don't forget about the sedan-like fuel economy that we mentioned earlier. When traveling on the highway, the Q3 has the ability to go 100 km with as little as 8.1 liters of fuel. It makes the Q3 great for road trips.
Get the 2015 Audi Q3 in Calgary AB
Although we have highlighted quite a bit already, the benefits of the 2015 Audi Q3 don't end there. As the SUV is made for many passengers, it takes safety seriously. For one, quattro all-wheel drive is an option, and the AWD system is ideal for those notoriously-rough Calgary winters. On top of that, you can opt for the available Audi side assist feature, which is essentially works as another set of eyes on the road. When you are behind the wheel of the 2015 Audi Q3, you can rest assured that you and your passengers are protected.
As we said, we currently have a wide variety of 2015 Audi Q3 models available on our lot, and if you have been looking for the opportunity to put the increasingly-popular luxury crossover to the test for yourself, there is now nothing that stands in your way. By stopping by our Calgary AB location, you can get a look at the impressive space of the compact SUV and get yourself behind the wheel so that you can test out its unrivaled performance. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

David Robert Marr Photograph Album, circa 1918 - 1922
The David Robert Marr Photograph Album consists of photographic prints collected and assembled by David R. Marr, documenting campus buildings and grounds and student activities during Marr's years at Oregon Agricultural College. The collection includes several formal hand-colored campus photos taken by Ball Studio and Howell's Studio of Corvallis; snapshots of the R.O.T.C. Cadet band during their travels in Oregon; and various views of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and the Junior Weekend Canoe Fete festivities. Also included are photos of Mt. Hood and waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge taken by Cross and Dimmitt and two postcard photos of the Canadian Rockies.
Of special note are several photographs of the Trysting Tree; interior views of a residence, that is likely the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity; and a hand-colored photograph depicting the Sigma Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity houses and Shepard Hall. Several snapshots of children, probably taken during the band trips, are also included. Two photographs show the R.O.T.C. cadet band in front of the Library.
The collection includes 5 loose prints that are not affixed in the album. These include a hand-colored photograph of the Peacock Float in the Junior Weekend Canoe Fete on the Marys River; postcards of Lake Louise and Victoria Glacier (Canada) and Castle Mountain in Banff, Canada; a snapshot of a student crowd on campus; and a photograph of four men (including David Marr) posed in front of a building stairway.

Deshmukh invites Tata to start Nano plant in MaharashtraOctober 4th, 2008 - 1:31 pm ICT by ANI
Mumbai, Oct 4 (ANI): As Ratan Tata made Nano''s exit from West Bengal became official on Saturday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh renewed his invitation to Tatas to set up the "Nano" car plant in the State.
Talking to media persons here, Deshmukh said, "Ratan Tata had approached me when I was on a tour to Europe. Now I will meet him to discuss the proposal."
Deshmukh reiterated that his government will give all necessary facilities to start Nano plant in the State.
The Tatas on Friday decided to pull out its one-lakh car Nano project out of West Bengal after the talks failed with the West Bengal Chief Minister Budhadeb Bhattacharjee in Kolkata.
He said he had to take the decision considering the situation on the ground.
Trouble began after the West Bengal Government acquired 1000 acres of farmland for the Tata Motors"" small car plant at Singur last year. The State Government offered compensation, which some farmers rejected.
Mamata then took up the fight of the farmers, demanding that at least 400 acres of the acquired land be returned to farmers. (ANI)

Corporate Sponsorship
I always wondered what we'd all look like if we could get corporate sponsorship like the race car drivers. I don't own a lot of clothes with names of companies on them. I feel a little silly walking around with a giant "NIKE" or "ADIDAS" on my shirt. When I buy a new car, I usually remove the little advertising sticker or license plate holder the dealership has stuck on the back displaying their name. I'm sure some people have certain loyalties to favorite companies and I certainly like Coke better than Pepsi, but I wouldn't wear a jacket with their logo emblazoned on it. That's just me.
Now, if they wanted to pay me, I'd probably look like the gentleman above...

Sep 19
Happy Wednesday! First off, I want to thank you for your excitement and joy over our big news yesterday. We are thrilled about our baby boy and it was a treat to finally get to share it with all of you!
As we move forward, I promise not to turn this into a "baby blog," but I have no doubt, as Meg says, that a new baby will definitely provide a plethora of blogging material.
Today, I have just one observation after 21 weeks of being pregnant.
In the beginning, though I was tired and nauseous, besides that, I didn't really feel pregnant. No one could tell by looking at me, I didn't have any physical signs of carrying a baby aka "the bump", and I couldn't feel the little life growing inside of me.
|Early pregnancy getting free Chick-Fil-A with Eliza Joy and Hannah! Yes, we dressed up like cows, but for a free chicken sandwich, I'd do just about anything!
Yet, as I've walked through the pregnancy and fed and nurtured my little baby (for the record, he likes wonton soup, Chipotle burritos, and Sour Patch Kids), slowly but surely, the outward signs are becoming more apparent–I have a visible bump that people are starting to ask about and I can even feel the baby kicking inside of me (already, he's proven to be an Earth, Wind & Fire fan–be still my heart!)
|Little bump shot from Saturday night
I'm just as pregnant as I was 21 weeks ago, but each day, the reality of the baby becomes more and more real, as I grow with him, nurture him, and try to take care of myself and my baby as much as I can before the big day. And after that, I know the real work and cultivation is just beginning…
Over the past few weeks, I've been thinking about this in terms of our faith. From the minute we become Christians we are freely saved and freely forgiven, but once that happens, we have the opportunity to grow our "fetus faith" and strengthen it and watch it mature into so much more.
How does this happen? By taking the time to feed and develop it–ensuring we get the nutrients, wisdom, and encouragement that we need each day. As we continue to move forward, just like a growing baby, our faith becomes not only something that we know is there, but that others see and recognize as well–they can see it through our lives and our actions. Plus, each day we spend walking with God, we're more aware of His daily movements throughout our lives and we grow to see and recognize Him and new and incredible ways.
Maybe you began your walk with God years ago, but haven't taken the time recently to feed into it. I know just how you feel! But be encouraged, that no matter how long it's been, we can always pick back up where we left off and get going once again.
Just like a little baby that needs to be fed and cared for long before it even enters the world so that it can grow and mature, we need to feed and care for our relationships with God. And as we do, it becomes so a part of us, that we don't know how we ever lived without it!
they were my joy and my heart's delight.

In multiple experiments conducted by companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. It's been undeniably proven that a slow user experience and website reduces traffic, stifles engagement and ultimately costs you money. For instance, Amazon reported that every 100ms of latency (delay) cost them 1% in sales. That's a 10% loss in sales for every second of latency.
As an affiliate, you don't always have full control of every server in the path to conversion, so it's vitally important to optimize the parts that you do control, namely your server for redirects, and your landing pages.
Cloaking Is Not Your FriendDid you know that cloaking your redirects could add multiple seconds to your load time and chew into your profits? If at all possible turn off cloaking.
People have made 15-20% more by turning off cloaking, so this is an option seriously worth considering. If you are sending clicks from a traffic source to your landing page, there is absolutely no reason to cloak your redirect links. Same goes for if your network has reviewed your landing page and knows the page you are sending traffic to.
If turning off cloaking is still not an option, I know there are some direct linkers out there, your second best bet is to test out performance of your links using SSL with cloaking turned off. The reason this works is because when going from https->http referer information is wiped out by all broswers. It's a security feature built into the http specifications, and you can use this to your advantage.
However, due to the way https works, the https protocol is a bit slower than http. Even with this factored in, many people experience better results using SSL for cloaking. However, it's always important to test before deploying this on your server for live campaigns.
One important thing to watch our for on SSL certificates is the browser ubiquity. This is basically a fancy way to indicate the percentage of browsers that will trust and accept the SSl cert without popping up a scary looking, conversion destroying, error message. Look for 99% or higher, some companies go as high as 99.3%. In my research I didn't see any numbers over 99.3%. Although this isn't always true, just assume that a super cheap or free SSL cert will will have a low browser ubiquity, so it's best to stay away from them. Update: I got a few questions from some of our users about implementing this tip and wanted to clarify. For this to work, you need to have the uncloaked redirect link on an https landing page. Adding an https to a direct link will pass the referrer.
Save Your CacheUse a caching system like memcached to reduce the load on your database. Prosper202 has built in support for memcached. So if your host supports it, you should consider turning it on. Pulling data from memory is multiple times faster than pulling data from a database.
Beef Up Your HardwareDon't skimp on your server. We did a whole post on this. So not much to say on this. If you are just starting out, you don't need to get a super powerful server, but always keep in mind that once you start driving tens of thousands of clicks a day, a powerful and fast server becomes a necessity.
When running campaigns traffic every second counts, but this becomes even more important with PPV we users click away very quickly. The more people view your entire landing page, the greater your chances are to generate a sale. Cutting a few seconds of the load time of your lading page, could result in the extra conversions that take a campaign from losing money to break-even, and from break-even to profitability.
Son, Use A CDNA Content Distribution Network (CDN), moves your site's assets such as the css, images, audio and video closer to where you visitor is. You may not have known this till now, but if you are on the west coast and access a server on the east coast, the lag and latency is higher than accessing the same content on a server located on the west coast. This is amplified even more when you start to deal with international traffic.
Depending on how you setup your CDN, one other added benefit is that, you now have multiple points of failure for your landing pages. You are no longer hosting your site on one server. If one of them goes down, your visitors can automatically get routed to the nearest available server.
There are a lot of other things you can do to speed up your site, but if you take a look at this list of 14 rules for faster loading websites, you may get overwhelmed. Thankfully, the kind and loving engineers at google have an Apache Module called mod_pagespeed that takes care of most of the stuff on the list for you.

Nature Watch
By Susan Thurn,
Cable Natural History Museum
Our neighbor asked about weasels because he has seen one running around in his yard. Wisconsin is home to three species of weasels – the long-tailed, short-tailed, and least weasels. They are 8-16 inches long, and with the exception of the least weasel, have black-tipped tails in the winter. The last time I saw a weasel I'm pretty sure it was a long-tailed weasel, about 16 inches long. Two of them were chasing each other around in the middle and side of the road, and so I stayed put in my car for quite some time, just watching their antics.
White in the winter, except for the white tail, long-tailed weasels are thought to be more nocturnal. They are active all winter long, and some evidence suggests that they may be more active during the day in the summer. They shed their fur twice a year in our climate from brown to white, while in a southern climate stay brown all year round. They live in unused burrows, uprooted tree roots, under rocks, or in rotting logs. They can be found in almost any habitat, but preferably one near water, as they drink a significant amount of water each day. Their home range can be up to 40 acres of land. Although a male's home range may overlap many female home ranges, home ranges of adults of the same sex do not overlap.
On the long-tailed weasel menu we might find mice, voles, pocket gophers, chipmunks, rabbits, or other small mammals. They also eat insects, birds, or bird eggs. In winter they use the same pathways under the snow that mice, voles, or shrews have created to catch their mammal prey. They also follow prey into their burrows as well. A user of scent and sound to find their prey, they often bob their heads back and forth to sense where their prey is located. They probe every crevice or possible place searching on the hunt for a meal. Occasionally, long-tailed weasels will kill more prey than they can eat, and so will store it away for later, just as squirrels or blue jays cache their nuts.
The long-tailed weasel can swim and even climb trees. They also use vocalizations that include purrs, squeals, and squeaks, but usually only when they are disturbed. They are aggressive with intruders in their territory. They may release a musk that is strong smelling when frightened and during mating season.
One of my favorite snowshoe forays was when I followed weasel tracks. The tracks led up to some vole tracks, where the vole tracks disappeared, literally, to never be seen again. Imagine the excitement of discovering a weasel in our own backyard, popping up out of a burrow, or out of the snow after having eaten a vole dinner. It would bring a whole new meaning to the words, "pop, goes the weasel!"
For over 42 years, the Museum has served as a guide and mentor to generations of visitors and residents interested in learning to better appreciate and care for the extraordinary natural resources of the region. The Museum invites you to visit its facility and exhibit. Find it in Cable at 13470 County Highway M.

I know, the DC area can be expensive, overcrowded, busy, and filled with politicos. But there are so many awesome reasons to live in the nation's capital!
There are tons of activities to do
For whatever reason, people think D.C. is a stuffy city with no fun to be had. Wrong! Yes, there's tons of monuments to go see, amazing (and free) Smithsonian museums, but also lots of fun activities that aren't super touristy. You can kayaking (or booze cruise) on the Potomac, you can walk down the streets of Georgetown and go shopping, you can go to Nationals games, there are amazing bars, and more. Also during the summer, there's a food or beer/wine festival pretty much every week.
There's a new bar or restaurant popping up every day.
Like seriously, I'm not joking. So many options and so many types. Do you want hole-in-the-wall? Craft cocktails? Upscale? Trendy? Re-living your college days? We got it all.
There are tons of opportunities
It's full of beauty at every corner
It's centrally located
It's centrally located to a whole ton of great places: Philadelphia, New York, Ocean City, Virginia Beach, Richmond, Baltimore. Planning a weekend trip is super easy! Just the fact that I can take an hour drive and be in either wine-country, beach, or a whole other metropolis is amazing.
Hello, Patriotism!
You can't go anywhere without seeing at least 489123840 flags. But honestly, there is just so much history in DC that you can't find anywhere else in the country. It'll make you feel proud to be American (even if you are a dual citizen like me)!
What do you love about your city? Have you ever visited DC?
And now for the link-up! I'm co-hosting my favorite link-up The Secret Blogger Club with Kels today.
The rules: There are no rules!! (j/k mostly)

Shooting at Fort Hood
Bottom Line Up Front:
My Battalion took 4 KIA, 11 WIA. My company lost no Soldiers, but has two in the hospital.
There's no way I can write about this on any of the blogs that are connected to my real name because I disagree intensely with the Official Party Line.
Read the disclaimer at the bottom of this page. Not Kidding.
Next disclaimer:
The vast majority of Muslims in the United States Army (and our sister services) are perfectly good Soldiers who do their duty, much as I did mine in Kosovo, though I intensely disagreed with that mission, primarily on religious grounds.
A few, though, seem to hold opinions like this:
There was a grenade thrown amongs a group of American soldiers. One of the soldiers, feeling that it was to late for everyone to flee jumped on the grave with the intention of saving his comrades. Indeed he saved them. He inentionally took his life (suicide) for a noble cause i.e. saving the lives of his soldier. To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause. Scholars have paralled this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers. If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory. Their intention is not to die because of some despair. The same can be said for the Kamikazees in Japan. They died (via crashing their planes into ships) to kill the enemies for the homeland. You can call them crazy i you want but their act was not one of suicide that is despised by Islam. So the scholars main point is that "IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOUR INTENTION IS THE MAIN ISSUE" and Allah (SWT) knows best.
This should have raised red flags. It didn't.
He prayed at a radical mosque that was attended by 9/11 hijackers.
He presented creepy "briefings" described thus (and obtained by the WaPo):
"Hasan apparently gave a long lecture on the Koran and talked about how if you don't believe, you are condemned to hell. Your head is cut off. You're set on fire. Burning oil is burned down your throat.
"And I said to the psychiatrist, but this cold be a very interesting informational session, right? Where he's educating everybody about the Koran. He said but what disturbed everybody was that Hasan seemed to believe these things. And actually, a Muslim in the audience, a psychiatrist, raised his hand and said, excuse me. But I'm a Muslim and I do not believe these things in the Koran, and then I don't believe what you say the Koran says. And then Hasan didn't say, well, I'm just giving you one point of view. He basically just stared the guy down."That should have raised red flags. It didn't--at least not officially. No formal complaints were made, for fear of appearing "disciminatory"
He had a spotty work record, and at least one coworker avoided sending referrals his way.
At some point, he attempted to contact al-Qaeda. The FBI knew, but there are questions about what they did with that information. Finger pointing and bureaucratic ass-covering has already begun.
He walked into the medical clinic attached to the Soldier Readiness Center (formerly the Sportsdome, a sports bar). The clinic is actually a separate building some 100 meters or so from the Sportsdome building. He opened fire with a pistol lauded by a media disinformation campaign as being more lethal than it really is, and shot 54 Soldiers after shouting Allah Akbar, or 'Allah is Great', a typical battlecry for Islamic militants. An eyewitness that I have met and know somewhat gives his take. Eventually he was taken down by MPs and DA civilian police officers.
Evidence mounts that this action was deliberately planned, complete with stereotypical 'suicide' preparations.
The lawyers are already playing delaying games and attempting to do their job of keeping this failed suicide from being railroaded--as if there is any doubt about the eventual outcome of a trial. The only question in my mind is whether he will do as his lawyers will undoubtedly insist and claim an insanity defense, or whether he will stand on his convictions.
Many in the media rushing to a defense of PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I'll link to a Wall Street Journal counter-argument rather than gracing 'Dr. Phil' with a link. Let me just say that anyone with the faintest acquaintance with real PTSD (brought on by trauma, you know) would disagree vehemently. I will provide one summarized clinical study and leave the rest as an exercise for the reader.
Mayor Daley thinks it's because America has too many guns. Seriously?
I would ask that before reading further, you take a moment to read the various links. This essay is incomplete without the information contained in these links. Once you're done, we can move onto my opinion.
Whether the United States admits the reality or not, our opposition to the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and similar groups places us in the position of being at war with Islam, from the point of view of certain schools of Islamic thought. In overthrowing Muslim governments, in attacking "the Faithful", and in attempting to set up functional "Westernized" states, we have placed ourselves in opposition to the schools of thought characterized variously as Deobandi, Wahabbi, or Salafist. We are also in direct opposition to Iran's state-sponsored imams who push for a Sharia-ruled Shi'a state which includes southern Iraq, and for whom Muqtada al-Sadr has frequently as a sock puppet.
These schools of thought are characterized by an adherence not merely to the Koran, but to the Hadiths and Sharia law. Highly scholastic and legalistic, they emphasis Islamic unity and guarding the 'ulemma' against impurity in word, deed, and thought, whether the impurity is competing schools of Islam or generalized "Western influences."
Further, these schools of thought tend to label even Muslims who disagree as 'apostates', subject to being killed when and where convenient just as we 'unbelievers' are. They emphasise pan-Islamic unity based around a largely Arabic cultural milleu at the expense of local culture and traditions, and deny the validity of any allegiance to a state other than one that meets their criteria of being 'truly' Islamic.
This form of Islam is incompatible with military service, and indeed with citizenship in the United States. It directly contradicts the oaths sworn by military members to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" and to "bear true faith and allegiance to the same." When the United States was struggling against Communism during the Cold War, we did not allow Communists to enlist in the United States Army. Why do we permit our enemies to enlist in the Army today?
Commentators of various ideological stripes have asked how this was possible on a military installation. The answers are very simple. Fort Hood has tens of thousands of people entering the gate daily. It would be simply impossible to search each vehicle. We rely on Soldiers registering their cars on post, and presenting identification when they enter the post. A serving officer stationed at Fort Hood would be required to register his vehicle and get a post sticker shortly after arriving. And of course he is required to make sure his ID card is up to date. No security measure exists on the books to stop a Soldier stationed at Fort Hood from coming on post. Once he gets on post, very few Soldiers, other than MPs on law enforcement duty, carry their weapons around the installation. Of course there are Soldiers going to rifle ranges and similiar training, but live ammunition is tightly controlled to maintain accountability. Under Federal Law, no personally owned firearms may be carried on post. Once Major Hassan got on post, the only question was when and where was he going to carry out his attack.
The choice of target is part of what convinces me this was political/religious. Recall that for an adherent of many types of Islam there is no difference between politics and religion -- sharia is derived from the Koran and the Hadiths, and these are both legal and religious pronouncements, with proper forms of prayer right next to decrees on inheritance.
The Soldier Readiness Center prepared Soldiers administratively and medically for deployment. I updated the power of attorney for my wife, and could have updated my will had I desired to do so. I verified emergency contact data and how I want my life insurance distributed. I got an HIV test and a flumist and made sure my other immunizations were up to date. Other Soldiers got smallpox and anthrax and so forth. The SRC is a bottleneck in deployment preparations. No other target could easily concentrate deploying Soldiers, impact deploying units, and potentially delay deployments without an attack requiring explosives. Among other indicators, it was the perfection of this choice that makes me doubt the theory that Major Hassan just 'snapped' or was otherwise mentally ill. A "crazy" person would not be capable of precision targeting. A man who had decided that he could no longer bear the contradictions of his Islamic beliefs and the reality of the world is capable of that targeting. A man who decided that he was tired of pretending to be something he was not, who finally decided to stand up for his beliefs--as incomprehensible as they are to a normal Westerner--is capable of that.
My belief is that Major Hassan was exposed to radicalized forms of Islamic belief and at some point, possibly very early, he adopted these beliefs. He could not stand the contradictions inherent in his role as an officer in the United States Army. He decided to attack his enemy in a manner calculated to inflict maximum damage while almost ensuring his status as a Shaheed.
He was not 'crazy' or 'insane' in the clinical sense of being so mentally ill that he could not tell right from wrong, unless you wish to use the definition that Islam is in and of itself a form of mental illness, an argument which has some validity from a Western point of view.
He was merely our enemy.
Now, lessons learned from this, and how to prevent.
Lesson one: Political correctness needs to die a horrible death. While many Islamic Soldiers serve the United States faithfully and loyally, Muslim Soldiers (or indeed, any Soldier) who repeatedly attacks the foreign policy of the United States, our government, or make statements supporting our enemies, must be scrutinized. Their coworkers must be free to point out dangerous indicators without fear of having a career-ending Equal Opportunity complaint lodged against them . The standards of proof must be lowered so that it takes something less than 54 casualties to take action.
Lesson two: The advice of Muslim Soldiers should be solicited in putting together some information for Commanders and for Muslim Soldiers. This should lay out, in Islamic terms, the arguments for loyalty to a nation that permits freedom of worship and the arguments for combat against our enemies. A Christian Soldier struggling with a religious qualm regarding the morality of killing has plenty of resources to turn to, there are Christian chaplains all over the place. Where does a Muslim Soldier go?
Lesson three: When a Muslim Soldier does give these warning signs that he cannot reconcile service in the US Army with his version of his faith, he needs to be given the boot. Unceremoniously and without veteran's benefits, a GI Bill, or the other benefits of military service. Thanks for playing, don't let the door hit you on the way out, and oh, by the way, you really don't need to be permitted to purchase firearms in this country. Ever.
Will this discourage some Muslim Soldiers from enlisting or reenlisting? Probably. Not the good ones. Will it be foolproof? Probably not. Is it a complete program in all the endless bureaucratic glory that a complete program would entail? Nope. Does it come close to infringing on freedom of religion? Not in the least--although it denies freedom of religion to an interpretation of Islam that is fundamentally incompatible with the United States Constitution. But that type of religion DOES need to be infringed upon because it is a threat to the body politic.
The Constitution is not a mutual suicide pact. When someone finds a loophole and exploits it to kill us, then the loophole should be closed.
