Posted on 09/16/2013 6:44:56 AM PDT by kristinn
On board flight out of #DCA. Still on runway. Flight crew just told us "all planes have been grounded indefinitely." No reason given.@wusa9
Muzzie brudders
FAA Status map says Ground Stop due to "Other/Security"
#Breaking: All flights grounded at Reagan Airport. Unclear yet if it is related to Navy Yard shootings. @wusa9 #NavyYardShooting— Fred D'Ambrosi (@9NewsDirector) September 16, 2013
Perhaps they suspect the shooter has a Benghazi import on his person.
U.S. Capitol Police confirmed enhanced security at the Capitol, but no immediate threat.
Reports began circulating around 9:30 a.m. that the suspect was down, but D.C. police said the suspect is still on the loose and hiding between floors.
Like a MANPAD?
Stopping DCA traffic would give the law enforcement helos more flex regarding flight locations etc
Due to OTHER / SECURITY, there is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington, DC (DCA).
General Departure Delays: Because a traffic management program is delaying some arriving flights, departing flight schedules may be affected.
General Arrival Delays: Arrival traffic is experiencing airborne delays of 15 minutes or less.
Because of the Navy Yard, even though it's clear across a very busy town.
Interesting. The popup box says "ground stop", but if you click for more info, it says nothing about a "ground stop".
Back in the real world news.....
Navy Yard is in Washington, D.C., across the Potomac River from Reagan National Airport. Reagan National is next to southern Arlington, Virginia near the border with Alexandria.
Obama about to pop out of the wardrobe...
Radio news says additional airport in NYC closed.
Down river from the Naval Yard but could expose a plane to an idiot ground fire and I imagine there is lots of helo activity as well.
I guess you're right, as the crow flies. But logistically it's quite a ride or row to get between.
shelter in place, dhimmis...
Live activity Washington D.C. police, fire, EMS:
Lots of activity as of 10:00 AM eastern time.
The first responders have called in their "mass casualty group" of responders. This does NOT mean there are mass casualties.
UPDATE: Ground stop at Reagan National Airport is for departures http://bit.ly/1eUGWul.
MSNBC reports says reason for Reagan shut down is because of helicopter traffic for Navy Yard shooting.
I seriously doubt it. A little pop gun couldn't reach where the planes have to go. Maybe if he had a RPG.
Ah, that makes more sense than just "in case the shooter will come to the airport".
An airport in NYC closed as well? Anybody hear anything else about this yet?
News says 5 people shot and are in critical condition. But I'm sure the details will change several times before it's all over.
BTW, Navy Yard is up the Anacostia. Not at all right across the Potomac. Quite a serious row.
Reagan Nat'l (DCA) in a ground stop until at least 10:30 am b/c of the police action at the Navy Yard
Quick! Someone draw a red line, for God's sake.
The flight path doesn't take planes over the Navy Yard, the problem is the subway stop at the Navy yard makes the airport only a few minutes away.
where'd you see that? any further info? cause?
No, I only saw the NYC info posted here, but I haven't seen anything about it anywhere else. Perhaps the poster mis-heard it.
No. NYC airports are experiencing departure delays for planes bound to Washington Reagan, for obvious reasons:
Due to OTHER / SECURITY, departure traffic destined to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington, DC (DCA) will not be allowed to depart until at or after 10:30 am EDT.
The same message is displayed for all the airports in the area. It hasn't spread to the entire country (i.e. DFW, MSP) yet.
I don't count medium caliber rifles as pop guns when firing at a commercial plane less than 1000 AGL doing around 200 kts as planes do when in an extended pattern.
It's a very short trip by water.
There were 3 helos actively circling the Tyson's Corbner area this morning as I travelled eastbopund on the Dulles Toll Road.
All NYC airports report it, if you click on the details. You can see the same message as far away as Orlando:
I think you're right about it being helo related. FBI HRT is at Quantico and there are military reaction units at Davidson Airfield at Ft Belvoir. Both would approach the Navy Yard going upriver past Reagan National. They probably want to keep the airspace clear.
It would make sense that all incoming flights from any airport to Reagan would be grounded since the airport is locked down, so to speak.
Yes, that's true.
What about Dulles?
Pinging those who might be interested
Any mere individual firearm of traditional basic kind of round is a pop gun compared to RPGs and other true guns expressly meant as a group as MIL armament. And with the distance from airport and angles of runways, I doubt any mere hand-gun could do any damage or even hit.
Already heard it's because of the traffic of helicopters for the incident.

Skip to comments.Is Intelligent Design a Bad Scientific Theory or a Non-Scientific Theory?
Posted on 11/10/2005 4:43:24 AM PST by Nicholas Conradin
In an election in Pennsylvania this week, voters tossed out eight members of the Pittsburgh school board who wanted Intelligent Design theory to be taught alongside evolution in school. But should Intelligent Design -- the theory that living organisms were created at least in part by an intelligent designer, not by a blind process of evolution by natural selection -- be taught in public schools? In one way, the answer to this question is simple: if it's a scientific theory, it should; if it's not, it shouldn't (on pain of flaunting the Establishment Clause). The question, however, is whether Intelligent Design (ID) is a scientific theory.
Opponents dismiss ID's scientific credentials, claiming that the theory is too implausible to qualify as scientific. But this reasoning is fallacious: a bad scientific theory is still a scientific theory, just as a bad car is still a car. There may be pedagogical reasons to avoid teaching bad scientific theories in our public schools, but there are no legal ones. The Constitution contains no interdiction on teaching bad theories, or for that matter demonstrably false ones. As long as theory is science and not religion, there is no legal barrier to teaching it.
To make their case, opponents of teaching ID must show not just that the theory is bad, but that it's not science. This raises a much more complicated question: What is science? What distinguishes genuinely scientific theories from non-scientific ones?
In one form or another, the question has bothered scientists and philosophers for centuries. But it was given an explicit formulation only in the 1920s, by Karl Popper, the most important 20th century philosopher of science. Popper called it "the problem of demarcation," because it asked how to demarcate scientific research and distinguish it from other modes of thought (respectable though they may be in their own right).
One thing Popper emphasized was that a theory's status as scientific doesn't depend on its plausibility. The great majority of scientific theories turn out to be false, including such works of genius as Newton's mechanics. Conversely, the story of Adam and Eve may well be pure truth, but if it is, it's not scientific truth, but some other kind of truth.
So what is the mark of genuine science? To attack this question, Popper examined several theories he thought were inherently unscientific but had a vague allure of science about them. His favorites were Marx's theory of history and Freud's theory of human behavior. Both attempted to describe the world without appeal to super-natural phenomena, but yet seem fundamentally different from, say, the theory of relativity or the gene theory.
What Popper noticed was that, in both cases, there was no way to prove to proponents of the theory that they were wrong. Suppose Jim's parents moved around a lot when Jim was a child. If Jim also moves around a lot as an adult, the Freudian explains that this was predictable given the patterns of behavior Jim grew up with. If Jim never moves, the Freudian explains -- with equal confidence -- that this was predictable as a reaction to Jim's unpleasant experiences of a rootless childhood. Either way the Freudian has a ready-made answer and cannot be refuted. Likewise, however much history seemed to diverge from Marx's model, Marxists would always introduce new modifications and roundabout excuses for their theory, never allowing it to be proven false.
Popper concluded that the mark of true science was falsifiability: a theory is genuinely scientific only if it's possible in principle to refute it. This may sound paradoxical, since science is about seeking truth, not falsehood. But Popper showed that it was precisely the willingness to be proven false, the critical mindset of being open to the possibility that you're wrong, that makes for progress toward truth.
What scientists do in designing experiments that test their theories is create conditions under which their theory might be proven false. When a theory passes a sufficient number of such tests, the scientific community starts taking it seriously, and ultimately as plausible.
When Einstein came up with the theory of relativity, the first thing he did was to make a concrete prediction: he predicted that a certain planet must exist in such-and-such a place even though it had never been observed before. If it turned out that the planet did not exist, his theory would be refuted. In 1919, 14 years after the advent of Special Relativity, the planet was discovered exactly where he said. The theory survived the test. But the possibility of failing a test -- the willingness to put the theory up for refutation -- was what made it a scientific theory in the first place.
To win in the game of science, a theory must be submitted to many tests and survive all of them without being falsified. But to be even allowed into the game, the theory must be falsifiable in principle: there must be a conceivable experiment that would prove it false.
If we examine ID in this light, it becomes pretty clear that the theory isn't scientific. It is impossible to refute ID, because if an animal shows one characteristic, IDers can explain that the intelligent designer made it this way, and if the animal shows the opposite characteristic, IDers can explain with equal confidence that the designer made it that way. For that matter, it is fully consistent with ID that the supreme intelligence designed the world to evolve according to Darwin's laws of natural selection. Given this, there is no conceivable experiment that can prove ID false.
It is sometimes complained that IDers resemble the Marxist historians who always found a way to modify and reframe their theory so it evades any possible falsification, never offering an experimental procedure by which ID could in principle be falsified. To my mind, this complaint is warranted indeed. But the primary problem is not with the intellectual honesty of IDers, but with the nature of their theory. The theory simply cannot be fashioned to make any potentially falsified predictions, and therefore cannot earn entry into the game of science.
None of this suggests that ID is in fact false. For all I've said, it may well be pure truth. But if it is, it wouldn't be scientific truth, because it isn't scientific at all. As such, we shouldn't allow it into our science classrooms. At least that's what the Constitution says.
The writer teaches philosophy at the University of Arizona.
"we shouldn't allow it into our science classrooms. At least that's what the Constitution says" AFAIK there are no statements in the US Constitution speaking to scientific theory. Maybe the author means some other constitution.
Have you read Popper? Have you read on his 'falsifiability'? How would you falsify creation theory, ID theory or evolution? This is just what the age-old argument is on; those that understand enough philosophy of science to make the decision aren't closely involved, those that are closely involved are not familiar with falsifiability, e. g.
PH's posse will be thrilled w/ this article.
But be sure of one thing: 'falsifyability' must be philosophically accepted a priori as being 'true' for 'science'.
Popper's argument, though it can be argued is logical, is nonetheless a starting point that must be accepted by faith. You have to trust that 'science' MUST be defined this way, in order for it to 'be' science.
The problem is this: ID searches for causes. Evolution, good for explaining certain things that appear to be 'caused' does not sufficiently grapple with other things that are 'caused.
ID provides an alternate cause ... and an argument presenting that it is not falsifyable is not really an argument.
For Marx attracted followers and his 'theories' were tested ... and proven false. Freud has been utterly deligitimized ... because much of what he wrote proved to be, in practice, false.
But both of them got an audience.
Funny ... ID is the only non religious body of thought I have ever seen which is been so vociferously attacked and being denied an audience.
How can it be any more robust that Marxism and Freudism ... what is being risked by letting it be falsified, like they were?
Is Intelligent Design a Bad Scientific Theory or a Non-Scientific Theory?
Wow, just from reading the headline I could tell that this article is a slanted, biased, puff piece of propaganda.
It reminds me of the loaded question, "Have you stopped beating your wife?"
The real debate is not over science, which is concerned with the observable, but over whose underlying metaphysical view one accepts: materialism vs. some form of theism. The problem is that those on the Darwinism side of the debate refuse to see or studiously ignore the fact that the natural sciences do not contain all possible knowledge.
One of the problems with the Origins of the Species, is biologists hava a CRAPPY definintion of what a species is.
Then the theory is elevated to a fact, shutting down all rational discussion.
ToEs like Natural Selection have not shown much utility up to this point in time. Definitions are changed, exaggerated claims are made, without any real utility, it is strictly not very useful.
It is not a very important theory.
It certainly hasn't been in history.

Theory - not theory, call it what you want, it deserves the same amount of teaching in the classroom as the Darwin Theory.
I'm getting so tired of seeing people making statements like this. ID is not getting attacked in order to deny it an audience. It's getting attacked because its proponents want it taught as science, when it is not science. I personally would have no problem if the ID'rs were trying to have ID added to social studies or philosophy curriculums, where it belongs. ID's own proponents are the ones denying ID its proper audience.
Science is based on observations (facts). For a hypothesis to become a scientific theory, one needs to find a way to test the theory in the laboratory/field. And then the test must be repeated over and over and peer reviewed. If the test agrees with the hypothesis it can become a scientific theory.
Scientists then continue more experiments to either prove or enhance the scientific theory or falsify the theory. They realize a scientific theory is not absolutely unlike the way you and a lot of your friends on this db have to believe (at all cost) in that literal reading of the Book of Genesis. Thus, scientists never shut down all rational discussion as you have suggested. If they did we never would have got where we have in all sorts of scientific fields including inventing this computer.
Is this what the argument is reduced to now? "It may be completely incorrect and/or intensely stupid, but hey - it's legal!" LOL.
Who died and made Popper the god of science? He is just one among many who wrestled with what constitutes the same. "Intelligent design is not science" is a mantra for those who would stifle free inquiry. Neither science nor education nor mankind in general are bound to burden themselves with this constraint.
Well, no.
First of all, the concepts of evolutionary theory can be observed in the fossil record. It can be argued that the fossil record is showing us something other than evolutionary change. But it is not arguable that what the fossil record shows can be interpreted as evolutionary change. ID has nothing at all, period, nada, even remotely as demonstrative.
Second, evolutionary theory does not postulate a cause. It postulates the "how". Big, big difference.
So, where does String Theory belong?
Irreducible complexity could be falsified by demonstrating reducible complexity for the biochemical reactions cited in ID.
That is the sticking point. One side says "we don't know how they got that way...but we will someday", and the other side says "it could have been an act of creation".
It is nothing to get bothered about, both sides react to the facts but it isn't so much intelligent design that is the problem as it is the idea of irreducible complexity on a molecular level.
It doesn't. :) Next question?
You know, the letter M is where they are now regarding that theory. Funny, that theory, with its 11 dimensions, is not falsifyable; dimension 8 or so simply is not available to be falsified.
... but it is still treated as a theory, and scientific.
Dgray ... I'm sorry to hear you so tired of statements. But, hey, look at the bright side. You woke up on the right side of the turf today, and can actually feel tired!!
Possible Darwin Central ping.
It does no such thing. It simply assumes a supernatural cause, without definition or attempt to understand its mechanisms, and decides that everything the observer is intellectually unequipped to understand is automatically a product of that supernatural cause. (And please, don't trot out the "Xenudidit" nonsense, or you'll have to tell me how Xenu was created, and how the creator of the creator of Xenu was created).
Query: Do Darwinists become closed-minded zealots and fools by education and training, or are these inborn traits?
Scientifically, we can express the ID conjecture as: "There exists at least one biological structure or process that cannot be explained by natural selection". ID advocates have cited some examples they think are candidates, such as the bacterial flagellum. Are any scientists out there willing to scientifically test the hypothesis, or are they going to take natural selection on faith, as with "human-induced climate change"?
Creative Design is, by definition, not a theory. To be a theory a hypothesis must be testable. Creative Design is not. When a theory becomes untestable it become philosophy.
Evolution isn't a theory, it's a fact based on the observed reality of the fossil record. There are theories about how it occurs. Natural selection is the most widely accepted theory of how evolution occurs (an early 20th c competitor was Lamarckism). Natural selection is falsifiable- one would merely need to show that genetic mutations are never beneficial to an organism, or that these mutations are acquired (Lamarckism) in the lifespan of an organism. Clearly the evidence is in favor of natural selection, but the theory of natural selection itself has undergone several major revisions over the past 100 years as a result of new evidence and a closer examination of existing evidence.
To the contrary of your assertion, I know several evolutionary biologists, and they are all thoroughgoing Popperians.
Query: Are Creationists capable of debating without using the ad hominem fallacy?
Science has never claimed to be the oracle of all possible knowledge. To make such a statement underscores your own ignorance of scientists. Do you actually know, in person or on line, any scientists? Any scientist who claimed science was such an oracle, would never pass his or her dissertaion exam.
This article seems fairly sound to me. But the same standard should apply to the other side. Proponents of evolution being a "blind process" -- i.e., purely the product of natural forces -- also propose no test by which that belief may be falsified, and therefore it is not scientific. Neither view belongs in a science classroom. Both are philosophies.
Neither should someone who does not know the difference between philosophy and science.
Falsifiability, especially in rhetoric (via a continually reinforced argument) is a good starting point. As to 'science', the Science Wars, have they been won or lost and by whom?
I would agree that falsifiability has it's place in science, but it is not the only element that qualifies it as such. Furthermore, much of what is posited by evoluionists as "falsifiable" is no such thing. The attitude ought to be "no options left out." I don't see that attitude in those who use the courts to enforce a particular, unproven, view of world history.
Here's another one about ID.
Sorry, what makes Genesis correct? There are hundreds of creation stories that claim equal validity. What you purport is not knowledge, but faith, because you have no proof.
The decendants, from "Adam", just don't add up and stupidly indicate a "New Earth" and if we want to be critical of agnostic science, we should also be just as critical of what religious "truths" we accept as fact. Just because some past generation has "canonized" writings doesn't mean search for devine truth should be aborted.
Personally, I believe there is no conflict between true scientific discovery and creation. It is simply our very slow discovery of the original design.
"Is Evolution a flawed scientific theory that will never become an established LAW, or is neo-darwinism nothing more than wishful dogmatic socialistic ideology masquerading as science???????"
LOL - my thoughts too - e.g. - "When did you stop beating your wife?"
In what way is it scientific to assume that an unsolved problem has no solution?
Unfortunately in modern education (and the mass media) evolution, natural selection, and abiogenesis are mixed together as a single concept. So Darwinian natural selection based evolution is seen as the explanation for the origin of life -- something even many evolutionary biologists would have a hard time supporting or justifying.
Natural selection clearly plays a major role in evolution, but it also isn't the only factor. The existence of domestic animals, like cows and dogs, certainly can't be explained by natural selection. Nor can the existence of modern commercial hybrid plant species. So clearly other factors are involved, at least since humans became active on the planet.
Interestingly, I know of no researchers today who can accurately define a test which can identify biological entities designed and created in labs by humans, which one would assume would be "intelligently" designed. If you can't identify a living genetically engineered and created organism how would you expect to know if other organisms were or were not "intelligently designed"?
There are also cases of simple organisms that modulate their development based on their environment - which is essentially Larmarckian evolution, although apparently the organisms retain the ability to grow into multiple forms. This ability, if widespread, adds quite a bit of complexity to the simple natural selection models.
And a theory which says "life must have begun as a result of a lot of random molecular interactions which ultimately ended up producing a living organism" isn't much of a theory. It really has no more basis than someone that says "life must have begun as a result of some space ship arriving on earth and leaving organisms here". Both rely on a long statistical chain of events. To really dig into the origin of life requires a very deep understanding of how molecular biology works, probably more than is now available.
Instead of schools wasting time fighting over what shallow "theory" or "fact" they teach, they should make an effort to teach the students about what the various theories really mean, and how one might go about testing, understanding or evaluating them. Hopefully those students will go on to advance our understanding of our world and how life began.

Comments: I love these skates. They are the best. I had used Bauer all my life and I decided to try reebok. I got this pair, a top line skate and at first, my feet hurt because I wasn't used to the more aggressive forward lean but I got used to it after a few ice times and it's been awesome. I skate faster than before and they are extremely comfortable and light. the pump really helps to keep the skate in place if you don't want the laces too tight and it allows you to tweak the amount of ankle mobility which is great. These were expensive but totally worth it. I've used them for 2 months already with a lot of ice time and long practices and they have shown no wear. They look and feel just like they were when I got them except for the puck marks and cuts but u can't avoid those. They are great and from what I've seen, these will last a while which is great!
From: Alex, Whippany, NJ
Comments: Really happy with these skates so far. Upgraded from a set of used Bauer X60's which were great skates but a bit narrow around the forefoot and too much forward lean. Have skated about 7 times in the last two weeks with the bok's including an adult league game and 4 hockey club scrimmages. Comfortable right out of the box. Home baked according to IW instructional video, after all the ice time no blisters or hotspots and the boot is getting a nice glove-like feel. Pump feature combined with lace lock keeps ankle nicely locked in. Right amount of stiffness, flexibility, and protection. My only warning is to MAKE SURE YOU CHECK BLADE HOLDER BOLT TIGHTNESS before your first skate. I didn't...came off the ice after first skate and heard a clicking sound from my skates, one of the forward bolts had fallen completely out, never found it. Luckily the rink had a spare from an old set of skates. Expensive skates, but you get what you pay for...the quality in design and comfort is clearly there so looking forward to a long life for these skates!

Sometimes living in a small town can offer an illusion of safety. It is easy to fall into the whole 'nothing bad can happen in a small town' pitfall, but the simple fact is, that is not always true.
For instance, according to the 2010 local and national crime statistics found at usa.com, Cedar City, Utah has a higher rate of both murder and rape than the national average. In fact, Cedar City's average was nearly 20 percent higher (per capita), than the national average for rape based on their numbers.
Keeping this in mind, registering for the two-day Marine Corps Hand to Hand Combat Training for Women class provided by On Target Defensive Training December 2 and 3, was a life changing opportunity.
Making it clear that the purpose of the class was to incapacitate an attacker, using lethal force if necessary, On Target owner and chief instructor Dan Kidder shared a few statistics.
"In 64 percent of rapes that are not reported the offender will return and re-victimize the same victim," Kidder said. "17 percent rapes that are reported will re-victimize the same victim.
"100 percent of those who are killed in the act of attempting a rape are guaranteed to never victimize again," he added.
The sobering numbers were followed by a half-hour lecture about the law; when it is appropriate to actually engage in lethal force actions, and when it is not. The final input on the subject was that: if the assailant is on the ground, not moving, and is no longer a physical threat to the victim, use of deadly force will not be accepted in a court of law; beyond that, if a victim feels as though their life is in danger, it's all fair game.
At first, it was difficult to role-play with other students for fear of looking foolish, or doing something wrong. Yelling "Get your hands off of me" at the top of our lungs was a bit awkward in the beginning, but after we each took turns being the victims and attackers, and yelling like lunatics, the defensive strategies became a bit easier to reenact.
After a while everyone in the class relaxed, and from there on out, it was smooth sailing. With each move taught to the class a new eruption of nervous laughter, followed by serious practice erupted from the classmates; who, by the end of the second day, started to behave more like old friends than strangers.
Everyone in the room said they had different reasons for attending the two-day training course, but the bottom line for each of woman in the room was that they each wanted to have confidence in their ability to defend themselves against someone who meant them harm.

Does Tax Aggressiveness Reduce Corporate Transparency?
Karthik Balakrishnan
London Business School
Jennifer L. Blouin
University of Pennsylvania - Accounting Department
Wayne R. Guay
University of Pennsylvania - Accounting Department
September 7, 2012
This paper investigates whether aggressive tax planning firms have less transparent information environments. Although tax planning provides expected tax savings, it can simultaneously increase the financial complexity of the organization. And, to the extent that this greater financial complexity cannot be adequately communicated to outside parties, such as investors and analysts, transparency problems can arise. Our investigation of the association between a newly developed measure of tax aggressiveness and information asymmetry, analyst forecast errors, and earnings quality suggests that aggressive tax planning decreases corporate transparency. We also find evidence, however, that managers at tax aggressive firms attempt to mitigate these transparency problems by increasing the volume of tax-related disclosure. Overall, our results suggest that firms face a trade-off between financial transparency and aggressive tax planning thereby potentially explaining why some firms appear to engage in more conservative tax planning than would otherwise be optimal.

The Labor Day weekend is fast approaching, which for kids means it's almost the end of summer. How are you going to celebrate Labor Day? Here are some suggestions to help you and your family end this summer with a bang.
One way to celebrate Labor Day with your family is by going to a theme park. Kids love theme parks and what better way to end the summer than by going to one of the many in San Diego. Labor Day weekend is usually the last time the parks will have extended hours and offer special shows. Whether you decide to rides at SeaWorld San Diego or feed giraffes at the San Diego Zoo, make this Labor Day weekend a memorable family event.
What more appropriate way to say bye to the lazy, warm days of summer than to spend it at the beach? Here, you and your family can relax and enjoy not doing anything before the busy school year hits. Vacationers can choose from one of the many family friendly beaches in San Diego including Pacific Beach, Mission Beach and La Jolla Cove.
Though kids may not be in the learning mood, they will be occupied and entertained at one of San Diego's many museums and historical sites. Children are sure to enjoy the over 60 exhibits at the USS Midway Museum as well as the nearby ships in the Embarcadero. Other sites to enjoy include the many Old Town San Diego Mexican restaurants, the Cabrillo National Monument and Balboa Park.
There is no better place to celebrate Labor Day than in San Diego. Visitors staying at the Pacific Inn can enjoy affordable rates, spacious rooms and complimentary amenities. We are a preferred cheap hotel in downtown San Diego that is centrally located near many great Labor Day celebration attractions.
Let us know how you are planning to celebrate your Labor Day Weekend?

Skip to comments.Pics of John Kerry's powerboat Scaramouche
Posted on 08/10/2005 2:31:20 PM PDT by Panerai
Cheapskate....If Theresa was my wife..I would have a much bigger one...boat, hat is....Jake
"Maybe Kerry will let Teddy drive it someday. We can hope."
Not if he brings someone else on board before casting off. Unless of course, he solos with Blood and Guts JF Kerry himself.
A gas hog
Something else that might confound his political image is the Scaramouches fuel efficiency. Speedboats are gas hogs. The Fidelity got 2 mpg and the Scaramouche probably gets less than one (The Scaramouche, according to the Boston Herald, is a Hinckley powerboat. A 44-foot version, according to boats.com, has a fuel capacity of 500 gallons, and a range of 340 nautical miles, or .68 MPG. Hinckley no longer makes the 42-foot boat.)
I must be missing something. It looks to me like a Type 4 Horseshoe PFD. Granted why anyone would use this on a Power Boat is not clear. Since they are used principallly by Rag Boaters.
Wasn't Scaramouche an evil dude in one of the James Bond flicks? I suppose that would be a role model for kerry.
I see energy saving and gas prices don't concern John Kerry at all.
Can I add that to my wedding registry?
FYI: All boats of that size or larger, measure their fuel economy in GPM not MPG.
No, that's only for scrapes...and if it's in Cambodia...at Christmas...after he's shot someone in the back.
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-
Cause he's to stupid to put it over his head? Just a guess.
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, can ya do the fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightening, very very frightening me!
Was Freddy Mercury John Kerry's favorite singer?
Gift from Teddy I guess...never used...for saving a life that is.
looks like a really swift boat.
"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale..."
Nice little boat...
The POWERBOAT SCARAMOUCHE isn't MOUCHE to talk about.
Does one have to jump in the water to get on that little thing?
Yup! John dares Ted to shoot the Chippaquidick bridge supports at Martha's Vineyard.
The scow looks like a half-million dollar "cottage" in southern California....square footage, for the bucks, is roughly the same.
The correct nautical term is "head". In french chitte hèide.
Wouldn't it have to be square to fit over his head anyway...just asking.
And does it have those cool foot paddles?
Now that's a dumb question.
It's *not* a "Life Preserver".
...it's his crown.
It looks like the type of thing a Kennedy camp bimbo might fall for.
Does it have a jacuzzi? How many life preservers?
Or better yet gph
What? *hit Hide? Makes sense. Also a slogan for the French period.
That was Scaramonga in Man with the Golden Gun.
Looks like the Radar Ant. Blocks his Forward Masthead light.
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening.
Sweet boat!
It symbolized the rescue of his campaign.
Bohemian Rapsody
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows,
doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows...
That's some type of liberal joke. Liberals are into adolescent bathroom humor.Since the days of JFK, those liberal boating parties can...uh...get a little wild. No doubt he has a humidor on board for Clinton. And scuba gear for Ted Kennedy.
There you are. That way he'll get better that .68 mpg or gpm, whatever it is. Maybe the gin-raisin eater can peddle while the captain is water skiing. It would be a nice photo op.
Yes! But can he do the Fandango?
The teak needs some work.
Well, Kerry can do it, but Algore invented it.
Are you referring to the boat?
What else could I be referring to? I'm not Theresa.
You would have expected one of those Jacques Cousteau type yellow submarines with lots of gizmos, gadgets, and cameras...
Much nicer boats on Lake Michigan.
Wasn't the original Scaramouche a nobleman's bastard?
LOL! I looked it up, too, with this variation:
A stock character in commedia dell'arte and pantomime, depicted as a boastful coward or buffoon.
LOL. It really suits him! A cowardly, boastful buffoon!
Maybe Kerry will let Teddy drive it someday. We can hope.
Maybe Teddy will get drunk and wreck the boat on a sand bar, killing his mermaid "companion."
Maybe that's what she calls him in private, like a pet name!

"I bought these in tan and black from my local DSW. They are so cute with their mary jane straps and peep toe. I would caution about buying them at the store though. I had to search out several pairs because they can get pretty beat up on the sale rack, with customers scratching and knicking the synthetic patent leather. Definitely order them online!"

Declan Kidney's side took their time to pull away from the Azzurri but ultimately crossed five times, two of which coming from wing Tommy Bowe.
They next play France in the re-arranged fixture after it was called-off at the last minute a fortnight ago. Italy remain pointless after three defeats.
Ireland had lost their last three outings at the Aviva Stadium and twice turned down shots at goal in favour of going for the maximum as they looked to make a point against their visitors, who took the lead through a penalty from fly-half Tobias Botes.
Sexton replied soon after and then Ireland crossed for their first try of the day following a well-worked move that saw centre Keith Earls dive in.
Italy could have reduced the arrears had Botes been successful from the tee but did find joy when Sergio Parisse crossed under the uprights, with Botes knocking over the simple extras for what looked like the last score of the half.
But that proved not to be the case as Italy were floored when Bowe went over for his first of the game before Sexton made it 17-10 at the break. In truth, neither side had earned a lead.
Upon the turnaround, Sexton added another six points as the Irish established a thirteen-point lead before the home side cut loose, denying Italy any points in the second stanza.
Excellent hands from the impressive Sexton sent Bowe over for his brace as holes began to open in Italy's defence, with Tom Court and Andrew Trimble adding final nails to the coffin.
Man of the match: But for a last-minute miss, Jonathan Sexton was on the money with all of his attempts at goal on Saturday. He added to solid kicking with an assured performance.
Moment of the match: A first international try for Tom Court. The Ulster loosehead prop powered over from all of two metres in Dublin, with his team-mates delighted for him.
Villain of the match: Nothing to report.

Flames Without Kipper
Kent Wilson
February 24 2012 03:53PM
Jay Feaster had himself a media scrum today, during which he said...well not much. One item stuck out to me, however, because it's one that is easily verified.
"If we trade #34, is there a position lower than 30th to finish?"
Of course, this is rhetoric and hyperbole, but it's worth asking the question - where would the Flames be without Kiprusoff? Mitch of M&G asked the same question last night and I figured I might as well share some back of the envelope calculations that might help clarify the matter.
This season, Kiprusoff's even strength SV% is .928 on 1285 shots against (92GA and 1193 saves). A replacement level goalie - that is, a puck stopper readily available in the AHL or on the open market - is about .905. The difference between that level of goaltending and Kipper at ES this year is 31 goals against. Six goals is worth about one win in the standings, so Kipper versus replacement level (or, to get more concrete, Henrik Karlsson) is just over five wins, or 10 points. That would sink the Flames to 56pts right now, good for 13th in the West - definitely significant, but not 30th overall.
Furthermore, it makes more sense to compare Kiprusoff to league average goaltending since very few clubs actually role with replacement levels 'tenders as their starter (outside of the Columbus Blue Jackets). A league average save percentage is about .920, meaning the difference between a middling goalie at 5on5 and Kiprsuoff overall is 11 goals, or two or three points this season. That's certainly not nothing, especially because Calgary is in the thick of a very tight playoff battle, but again it's not like the Flames would suddenly become the worst team in the league.
If we take a longer view, the difference shrinks even further. Last year, Kipper's ES SV% was .916 over 1529 shots. If we combine the two most recent seasons, his ES SV% is .922, or .2% higher than the average NHL goalie. That's worth a net five goals over 2814 shots, or one win in two seasons (if you round up).
The Recent Run
Of course, Kipper has been far better than average recently and is the single biggest reason the Flames are in a position to challenge for the playoffs. Before the losses to Edmonton and Phoenix, Kiprusoff was batting a .950 ES SV% average since the Boston masscre. That save rate was especially noteworthy because the Flames have been routinely outshot and outchanced over the last two months.
So in a way it's fair to say Calgary would be plumbing the depths if Kipper had not been here, standing on his head through January and February.
The danger, of course, is perceive this recent run as his true talent level.
Bigger samples are always preferable to smaller ones when trying to judge a players true abilities and as Khabibulin and the Wild's Josh Harding and Nicklas Backstrom proved earlier this season, goalies can sometimes get hot for weeks at a time before coming back down to earth.
Kiprusoff hasn't been a .930+ ES SV% goalie since 2006-07. He's never been a .950 ES SV% over the long run (because no goalie is that good). Over the last five years or so, he's mostly settled into average-ish terriotory, with some wild swings around the mean here and there (this year vs last year for instance). He remains an athletic, highly durable and capable enough starter in the NHL, but the last two months are by no means an accurate portrayal of his true abilities.
Sometimes it's hard to separate a GM's true feelings about a player from smoke blowing and message sending when they talk through the media. In fact, it may be Feaster's lavish praise of his goaltender was a passive aggressive slight to his skaters. That said, Kipper isn't really this good and my hope is Jay Feaster and the Flames in general doesn't overly weight recent hot streaks when grading players and assessing their true value to the organization.
I disagree. I believe Calgary would be quite a bit lower in the standings because of lack of team confidence. I remember how Calgary played in the years prior to kiprusoff (when they actually had more talent). A team plays very different in front of an average goalie than a good goalie. Look up in Edmonton early in the year, when Kabibulin was playing well.
February 25 2012, 06:47PM
The Flames without Kipper right now = empty seats in the Dome. It will have to happen eventually I know but plan B had better be good when it does. Right now plan B looks like Irving, Ortio, and Ramo. Lets hope one of them is at least close to as good as Kipper, not to mention as durable as he has been.
Direction comes from the top. The Flames ownership only sees the $$$$$. Count how many Kipper and Iginla jerseys are in the stands.
When the fans no longer attend games and season ticket holders no longer renew, when it hurts the ownership pocket book this is when they will be forced to change their mandate and philosophy.

Grateful for the review!
"A previous reviewer recommended ordering at least a half a size smaller, or a full size in the case of narrow feet. She mentioned that she had to get a full size smaller in order to achieve a good fit. Thanks to her review I ordered half a size smaller (my feet are not narrow) and I'm glad I did! I am a 7.5 and the 7 fits perfectly.These are super comfy and unique looking shoes-- I'm very happy!"

"Just beware that this shoe runs very wide and long. I generally wear a size 7, and occasionally slip into a 6.5. I ordered the 7, and it fit on my foot as if I were wearing an 8. I had to return for a FULL size smaller, to a 6. It fits perfectly. It's a great shoe, just be wary and order at least a half size down if not a full size down. My feet are narrow, so the full size down was necessary for me."

Big bass look at the Yum F2 Mightee Worm like a hungry pilgrim looks at Thanksgiving dinner. Measuring in at 10.5" in length, it presents a massive profile in the water, and with F2 attractant infused during the molding process, it gives of a strong scent trail that bass can't resist. Created for power shaking on Edwin Evers' Yum Pumkin Ed Standup Jig Head, it's also a great choice on a Texas-rig, Carolina-rig, or even a Wacky-rig. Available in a range of colors, the Yum F2 Mightee Worm will give you the chance to catch the bass of your life.

Comments: Product as stated by others are not good for drop shotting nor texas as plastic are not durable. I believe that goes with any other brand of plastics. There is only one style and technique I use with worms and that is neko rig. I did it to this one and it works like wonder. Since this worm sinks and not float well it is also best for wacky stylist.
From: David: MN
Comments: I bought 10.5" thinking the tail will float up since it was designed for shakey head but the tail does not float. If you are looking for a large worm to do shakey head and want the tail to float buy the Xcite version.
From: Soua: Florence, Kentucky
Comments: i really like this bait i just got it i already have several fish but there is only one bad thing about it and that is not all of the worms float very good for shakey heading but i would recomend this.
From: Jacob: Lacrosse, WI
Comments: This is Yum's version of the Xcite Maximus, I'm sure it will work fine as T-rig throwing it in the weeds or if they are hitting it on the way down but if you are fishing it as a large shaky head worm I reccomend the Xcite bait because it floats as opposed to this one that will lay on the bottom.
From: Robert: MI
Comments: Wife bought me a couple of packs to try. They don't float as good as I thought they would from looking at the video. Been fishing with a bait from Xcite Baits for a couple of years that looks very similar. I believe its called a Maximus. They even have a similar jig head too. Not very impressed with the Yum products, I'll stick with the original from Xcite Baits.
From: Lance: Kentucky Lake
Comments: The worm floats well and is very light in the water. This is a very big worm but still has good action in the water. My only problem is that I have had four good bites with the worm but haven't been able to catch the bass yet. I believe because it's so big, you have to wait longer to set the hook. I really like these worms but would like them more if I was able to land the fish. Nice selection of colors! hopefully I can land some bass and tell everyone if waiting longer works!
From: Tom: N. Charleston, SC
Comments: they olny last for about 2 fish then the hole strips out and then you have to glue ir melt it back together...but they work great on a texas rig.
From: Craig: IL
Comments: I ordered 8 packs of these to fish with a wobble head jig. The only problem is them dont seem to float and stand straight up like the video shows. It s still a good liking bait but i am a little disapointed because it want stand up.

I'm sure many of you have not heard of this manga, which is why I'm here to present unto you; Vinland Saga. Now you might be wondering "What's Vinland Saga about?" Well to be brief, it's about vikings. That's right... mother fucking vikings. If your interest hasn't already been piqued then here's some more info.
Vinland Saga follows the adventures of Thorfinn, a courageous young man armed with two twin blades he inherited from his deceased father. He's traveling with Askeladd, who is the leader of a ruthless group of mercenaries who takes jobs from whoever they think can offer them a reasonable reward. Apparently this Askeladd is the man who killed Thorfinn's father, Thors, and the only reason Thorfinn is traveling with Askeladd is so he can defeat him in a duel and win back his fathers pride. Thorfinn only wants to win his fathers pride with a fair duel. Askeladd only agrees to these duels when Thorfinn completes a certain task(like bringing him the head of the opposing armies general on the battlefield). From there the manga takes you through brutal, 11th century viking clashed battles with Thorfinn as your tour guide.
So far the manga is only 4 volumes thick, with only 3 of those volumes being scanlated so far, and about 1 chapter of volume 3 not yet scanlated. Seriously, give this manga a try. The artwork is fabulous as well is the storyline(how can you not like vikings?). Also Thorfinn is one of the coolest manga characters you will ever meet(bias alert). There is a bit of gore and violence, but it's clean, not like blood and guts splattering all over the place. Overall this manga is very original, something uncommon nowadays. I listed all the available downloads below, don't pass it up.

Cheri Greenwood was born on Dec. 10, 1929, to Bernell and Edna Watkins in Royal, Utah, population 100. Cheri has very fond memories of her childhood; climbing mountains and picking wild flowers. She loved watching the animals, squirrels, ground hogs, and chipmunks. She remembers having a little goat that they played with and had a lot of fun with.
She also had a little black and brown dog that used to run off and chase porcupines, then came back with his mouth and face full of quills. They would put mustard on the quills to numb them, then pull them out.
They used to make mud pies. She remembers selling them to the Japanese people for a penny or two each. The Japanese people were very good to Cheri and her family. They would give them tea sets and gifts. The Japanese men worked in the coal mines, and they and their families lived in the mining camps with the many other families who came to the Carbon County mining area.
Horses and donkeys were used in the coal mines to pull the cars filled with coal. Cheri remembers seeing the dinosaur food prints that they would bring out of the mines. People used to decorate their yard with them back then.
She remembers the weather always being cool because Royal was up the canyon. She remembers seeing a lion and her cub and how cute they were to watch.
Cheri worked at Cornets, a dime store. It had a fountain called Kelly's. That's where she met her husband, Joseph LaVoy Greenwood. They called him "Buss"; he had just gotten out of the Navy.
She and Buss were married and had four sons: Douglas, Jerry, Kyle and Lance. Cheri has seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Cheri's favorite hobbies are crafts and shopping. She also likes fishing. She is now a resident at the Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center in Ferron where she had made many new friends. She always looks nice and brings others joy.
Cheri is a vibrant and loving person. She loves people and she is always willing to help others.

There is a new introductory Greek textbook by the "deans" or "dons" (or what have you) of McMaster Divinity School now newly evaluated by two reviewers at the Review of Biblical Literature (http://www.bookreviews.org/bookdetail.asp?TitleId=7893): http://www.bookreviews.org/bookdetail.asp?TitleId=7893
Publication details:
Fundamentals of New Testament Greek (+ Workbook)
Porter, Stanley E., Jeffrey T. Reed and Matthew Brook O'Donnell
Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2010 pp. xxi + 466/xii + 260. $59.99
Review by Panayotis Coutsoumpos
Review by Laurence M. Vance
Coutsoumpis is very positive in his evaluation, while Vance doesn't much like the textbook. I would like to take a closer look at the grammatical presentations, which both reviewers indicate as being more-or-less exhaustively complete. Vance, in fact, faults the the work as presenting too much information for beginners; I find that judgment somewhat amusing, inasmuch as in my own teaching I've always tried to warn students that the details of Greek morphology and syntax are considerably more complex than beginning texts are likely to acknowledge. When I was beginning Greek more than half a century ago this is the sort of textbook I would have found very appealing, I think.
It is clear that use of the workbook is essential for anyone seeking to learn to read Biblical Greek: the textbook by itself simply introduces the lessons, while the essential practice and learning exercises are to be found in the workbook. That is comparable to the widely-used Mounce textbook which is almost useless to a beginner without the workbook; the same is true for what I think is the best comparable beginning textbook for Classical Greek, the JACT Reading Greek series.
It also seems pretty clear that the pedagogical method here is the traditional "grammar and translation" method as opposed to the immersion methodology emphasizing oral/aural and reading/writing communication advocated by the likes of Randall Buth, Christophe Rico, and Daniel Streett.

Rejoice! Economic Growth Edges Up to Not-Quite-Apocalyptic Levels
The economy grew at 2.5% last quarter, up from 1.3% the quarter before, according to newly released data from the Commerce Department. That's just enough growth to keep from plunging more people into the ranks of the unemployed, but nowhere near enough to start digging us out of the hole we're in.
So sit back and enjoy economic limbo. While the growth number is mildly comforting, the other economic data released today is downright schizophrenic: Real disposable income dropped 1.7%, but consumer spending is up. None of it really matters, though, because these numbers will be wildly revised next quarter, when we discover that we've really been in a three-year depression.
