Jack Ryan, the hero of most of author Tom Clancy's earliest works along with four feature films, is taking on the Russians again it would seem.
Pajiba reports that Paramount's planned reboot of the series starring Chris Pine as Ryan has scored the new working title of "Moscow".
Scribe Adam Cozad joined the production a few months ago to perform a rewrite of Hossein Amini's original draft, and now details on the newest draft have come to light.
The first of the films not to be based on a specific book, the story will nevertheless use elements from the series. In this case the action picks up with Ryan in his pre-CIA days having left his stint in the Marines to become a successful financial analyst.
In the books he worked for Merrill Lynch, in the film he's moved to Moscow with his wife to serve as advisor for a billionaire employer, an employer who sets Ryan up as the fall guy for a terrorist scheme that aims to collapse the U.S. economy.
Ryan then goes on a race to clear his name, stop the plot and save his wife who has been taken hostage.
So far so dull, but the off-screen twist here is that the story borrows heavily from "Dubai", a script Cozad sold back in 2007 to producer Lorenzo diBonaventura who also serves as producer on this series.
That script, which at one time had Eric Bana involved, followed an American economist who moves to Dubai an uncovers a terrorist plot to cover a huge drop in the value of the U.S. dollar, leading to mass starvation.

Print Ads from Multimedia Campaign Feature Five Real Patients Who Have Fought for Their Mobility
Immediate Release
March 20, 2013
CHICAGO – The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) today unveils its 2013 public service announcement (PSA) campaign. This year's campaign asks "What would you do?" if an orthopaedic injury got in the way of your work or your life? More than one in four Americans has a musculoskeletal impairment and this campaign addresses these challenges and the patients who have – or will – face them.
This year's multimedia public service campaign demonstrates the social value of orthopaedic care. The campaign includesa series of five print PSAs featuring real patients from our A Nation in Motion® campaign who fought back to regain their mobility after an injury or surgery. The campaign also includes companion television and radio spots called "Body Double."
"Patients play an essential role in their care and they have to be ready to reclaim what they have lost and fight for their mobility," said AAOS president, John Tongue, MD. "That is when excellent orthopaedic care can be most restorative, getting patients back to their lives, to their jobs and to doing the things they love to do with their families and friends. That is the real value of the work we do."
|Campaign Details
"Body Double" :15-, :30-, and :60-second ads showcases the different ways our bone and joints could slow us down at any stage of life. Whether while working, playing or just moving, a bone or joint condition or injury can stop us. The good news is that a lot of people with pain have fought back – they have regained their lives because of excellent orthopaedic care.
The campaign's :30 and :60 second spots also called "Body Double" remind listeners that your bones and joints can say "no" at any age, keeping you from doing the things you always used to do. But, there is help for those looking to fight for their mobility.
For the 2013 campaign, the AAOS partnered with the following specialty organizations to present five remarkable patients' stories:
These ads were sent to more than 9,000 print (newspaper/magazine), television and radio outlets nationwide,and also are distributed to airports and out-of-home advertising companies (i.e. bus shelters, shopping malls) across the country. Each year, the print ads are produced as four-color posters and postcards that are available for use by Academy members in their practices, allowing them to help share the message with their patients.

Sit-Stand working has grown very popular as it enables users to vary their position throughout the day, spending some of the time sitting and some of the time standing whilst continuing to work efficiently.
Telescopic electric desks make it easy to alter your position from sitting to standing, raising and lowering the desk smoothly, safely and effortlessly at the touch of a switch. Our desks are very well designed, extremely reliable and cost effective and can be easily adjusted in width to accommodate most sizes of desktop.
Sit-Stand desks are also beneficial for users of different statures who share the same workstation as the working height can be easily adjusted to the optimal height whether the user is 146cm or 205cm tall.

Hi there,
I am a 21 year old male who had a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy around 5 weeks ago for the removal of a tumour (which turned out to be benign). Before all of this I was very active and trained 3 times a week and would play a 90min football game. As you might imagine I am really keen to get back to playing but am wanting advice on how to do this the right way and if 5 weeks is long enough to wait before starting to get back into it. What was everyones experiences and how early did everyone go back to their normal fitness activities?

thurston blankenship stretched for his gun as duke bremmer tightened his strangle hold around his neck. "i'll be damned if you'll get away with this blankenship" duke growled out. the pistol was almost at his fingertips. "just...a little....further" he thought to himself as his mind begin to fade to black. thurston's fingernails finally caught onto the handle of the snub nose 38 and he pulled it tightly into his palm. raising the pistol high in the air, he brought it down hard on dukes head, knocking the man backwards into the large wooden cabinet that held the priceless porcelain monkeys. duke felt the back of his head and looked at the blood on his fingers. a snarl curled his lips, he lunged at thurston with all his power. both men tumbled over the table sending plates and glasses shattering to the floor. "damnit whats going on in here?!" their father said standing in the kitchen doorway. the boys jumped to their feet and pointed at one another. "so help me god if you two break any of grandma's things…." his face red with anger. the boys looked at the floor and nodded. "this is thanksgiving now stop it!" father walked back into the den and turned the tv back on. thurston blankenship looked around the room and grabbed the broom stick in the corner as duke bremmer pulled a spatula from the drawer. the men began to slowly circle each other, "dad said stop it chad!" "you stop it will!"

I go through these weird stages where I just don't blog like I should. It would help If I knew what to talk about. In my earlier blogging days I just talked about any and everything on my mind. Eventually I started to feel as though I was doing more on-line journaling than I was blogging about the arts. Not to mention the crickets that find their way on top of my desk from time to time.
I have been busy though... I have worked on a few new pieces. I did a swirly family tree for my grandma's 75th birthday. Then I did a logo for my hair business. I then took the painting and uploaded it to zazzle and ordered business cards. I want a tee shirt too but its not in the budget this week here is the photo of the new Hair4U logo.
its a painting I did on illustration board with acrylics.
I will upload the other paintings maybe later on today.

We said farewell to Tony Garratt on Friday 22 August 2015 and hello to Theresa O'Connell.
Theresa starts with The Partnership on Tuesday, 01 September and will soon be visiting you to introduce herself and begin working with you to make the streets a safer and better place to work and visit.
Theresa's primary role will be business engagement, promoting the events and activities being introduced by The Fitzrovia Partnership. This will include encouraging businesses to become more aware of Business Watch and the Radio Link scheme.
She looks forward to meeting you soon!
The Ambassador Team have been busy reporting over 68 issues affecting the streets in our area over the last month.
Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour
The most recent figures supplied by the Bloomsbury Police Safer Neighbourhoods Team show how theft has affected the area over the last 6 months. The figures are dropping month on month and we hope that by working in partnership we will see a continued drop.
Also of note is the fact that although we know that many retail premises suffer from incidents of shoplifting these are not being reported to the police.
Help us reduce crime in the area and join our next Business Watch Meeting. At our last meeting we began sharing photographs of suspects of crime and anti-social behaviour operating in the Fitzrovia BID area.
Our next meeting will be held on Monday, 14 September 2015 at The Rising Sun Public House, Tottenham Court Road at 1500. The police, Camden Community Wardens and Camden Business Against Crime all attend the meeting and offer support and advice to businesses as well as identifying concerns that our partners may have been unaware of.
Fitzrovia Operations Group Meeting
The Fitzrovia Partnership has identified a need for a regular meeting of our partners operating in the area to identify specific issues of concern and then to work together to resolve these issues. The police, borough monitoring officer, highways manager, Safer Streets Team and ourselves all attend the meeting which has the support of Camden Council.
UK Threat Level
The current threat level from international terrorism for the UK is assessed as SEVERE.
The threat level for Northern Ireland-related terrorism is set separately for Northern Ireland and Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). In Northern Ireland it is SEVERE and in Great Britain MODERATE.
To help our members to create continuity plans in the event of a serious incident we are providing the FREE Project Argus – Contingency planning training courses on 20 October, 0930-1300.
To register your interest and secure your place contact the team.

There is a great article from Nicholas Carr that is worth a read called "Is Google Making Us Stupid?". There is a similar article on the New York Times site as well called "Literacy Debate: Online, R U Really Reading?"
There is a common thread here, and that is information overload. Is this good, bad or indifferent? This is still subject to debate on the long term effects. Personally, I think that this is an issue. Information management will be the key in this digital age.

Barking Rain Press seeks novel-length books with solid plots, well-developed settings, and characters that are fully three-dimensional. We want originality and professional-level storytelling. Historical facts should be well-researched, and totally fictional worlds in speculative fiction must be visualized clearly, with fantastic worlds and settings. Write your story in a unique, compassionate, and compelling style with characters who are both strong and vulnerable, and your book will catch our interest.
We are NOT not interested in reading works that have extended, descriptive violence and/or pornography. Books that contain this kind of material have no appeal to our growing customer base. If you are a writer of this kind of fiction, there are other publishers who specialize in these genres that would be a better fit. Regarding sexuality, while Barking Rain Press does not publish erotica, we recognize that sex is a natural part of life. If your book includes sexual scenes, keep in mind that there has to be a reason for the sex, and that the amount of sex should be appropriate to the story arc.
Finally, keep in mind that a manuscript submission is like a job interview—regardless of where you are applying, you wouldn't go to an interview wearing dirty jeans and a torn tee-shirt. Don't send your "baby" out looking that way, either. We expect all submissions to be well beyond the first draft stage, and to be professionally prepared and as free of mechanical errors in punctuation, spelling and grammar as possible. Our Editors are here to help you polish your work, not to rewrite it for you.
P.S. — Use your spell checker, but don't rely on it solely.

New Bus for London
The iconic London Bus gets an upgrade
The red, iconic double-decker "London bus" known as Routemaster has been in service for over 50 years. When Routemaster was first designed, it was way ahead of it's time in terms of both innovation and efficiency but we have seen it gradually evolve over the years. More recently the rear platform has been re-introduced to allow 'easy-on, easy-off' for passengers to remain in tune with the hectic London lifestyle.
Historically, Camira transport fabrics have adorned these traditional buses in a variety of signature geometric check designs. The new generation of Routemaster buses are fully upholstered in a dynamic custom-designed moquette fabric in an optical red/grey contrast. Both interior and exterior have been given a contemporary facelift, whilst retaining that nostalgic design that they are famous for.

OpenMoko + Gentoo [0]
Open Cubic Player
Linux CDROM
Linux USB + ptrace
XChat plugin, xuno
I once popped an idea into my head, I want to port Open Cubic Player to
linux. I worked on it for months without even having a running program, just
bits and pieces that compiled. And just in the time where I startet to get
output onto my screen, I was about to port the last piece of code, the
timers. And as I added more and more of the code, my PC suddently freezed
during one of the tests. I rebooted and tested again, and surely, it
freezed again. After several attempts at isolating the issue, I find the
piece of code that made it happen. At first I though the issue was caused
by a gcc bug, and that it exploited the a kernel bug. It later turned out
that my code had a small bug in it, which gcc compiled happily, that
exploited the kernel in a way not many people had thought about.

I turn into Meeman-Shelby State Forest on the outskirts of Memphis, TN, the rain begins to pick up. We Banjo 3 is playing on Bluegrass Junction via XM radio, and the bars on my cell phone are dropping to zero. In the bed of the truck I have my new Alpacka Denali Packraft, only it's not completely new. I had bought it used from a gentleman in Idaho, like new from a Packraft society board online.
I've had it for 4 days now and haven't had it in the water. I've inflated, deflated, and practiced packing it up. But finally the day has come where I have a day off of work and I am caught up on my honey-dos. The only issue, is tropical depression Cindy has arrived, and it's raining: constantly. Since I started my college career studying meteorology I have had experience desyphering weather radar feeds, and pride myself in timing them pretty well.
Earlier in the morning I had studied the radar, packed my stuff, and planned on the rain finishing up as I parked my truck near the boat ramp. Of coarse, with a tropical depression you can't exactly plan accurately: especially since my cell-reception is now waiting for me 20 minutes down the road.
After 30 more minutes waiting in my truck, the rain subsides. I unpack my packraft, lay everything out, inflate the raft, the floor, and as I start inflating the seat, rain… again. So I set everything aside and sit in the truck until the worst of it is over.
I've kayaked in the rain bedore. When I lived in Maryland I had a 17′ Current Design Storm. It was meant to be on open water, and handle perfectly in, well, storms. So I had put that to the test multiple times. I don't mind the rain, I actually like it. But this being my first time on an inflatable raft, with not many people around because of the storm, had me deciding to wait until conditions improved (you're welcome, Emilee)
The rain lingered a while; nothing more than a light rain, nothing less than a light drizzle. After 10 minutes I got anxious, and decided my boats maiden voyage would be in the tropical depression, rain and all. Afterall, I've been backpacking through two tropical storms (both in the same trip… sorry Luke), sailing in the Keys as a waterspount got too close for comfort, and surfing through countless tropical storms (didn't end too well), so what could go wrong?!
So I complete my setup, and as I start to walk towards the water a park ranger comes up to me and asks if my boat is Coast Guard certified. I tell him, sure! After much inspection, questions, and some doubt, he finally agrees that it is most likely certified, and while it is not displayed, it had a previous spot where the certification would have been displayed, so he let's me go.
I walk towards the water and hear a lady's voice ask if I have a boating permit. I stop, turn around, and see that the lady was talking to me. I had no idea I needed to pay $2 to boat in this state park. I told her I would go get my card, but after she told me it was cash only, and she decided to let me go, I was on my way to the water.
The boat was inflated enough that I barely noticed it was an inflatable. It was comfortable, relatively spacious (I'll have to fine-tune it some more), but most of all, it floated! With a grin on my face, and rain falling down, I began my maiden voyage.
In the past I've mainly used long ocean kayaks, and have never paddled a boat as small and flat as this. Each stroke turned the boat from side to side, and it took a while to get used to the steering. Once I was comfortable with the steering I started to play around. I tried some sweep strokes, draw strokes, and reverse forward strokes and felt pretty good! No water had entered the raft, other from the rain, and my legs still hasn't fallen asleep!
The only issue I've noticed, is that when I stop paddling the weight of me in the raft turns the boat backwards almost instantly. This is actually fine, because the main reason I bought this boat is to take fly-fishing, and I'll want to face upstream to do that, anyway. Infact, the whole reason I bought the packraft is to take it bike-rafting with fly-fishing mixed in. I have a handlebar system to strap it to my mountain bike, and have started planning some routes in Arkansas on the Little Red River for some brown trout.
As I finish up my paddling I start heading back to the ramp I departed from. The lady I had talked to earlier requesting money watches me make my approach. I make a slight sweep stroke with a small J-hook at the end and I slide perfectly parallel to the shore (a little shameless bragging, sorry).
I step out of the lake, take everything to my truck, and am all packed up within 10 minutes. As I start my truck and begin to drive out the rain completely stops. I laugh a little, turn up Bluegrass Junction, and drive off through the beautiful hills of Meeman-Shelby as I reflect on how much fun this raft is going to be.

text: The Eritrean diaspora is mourning March 3, 2018 by Abraham T. Zere·Comments Off on The Eritrean diaspora is mourning (Published in Al-Jazeera English; March 1, 2018) The alleged death in detention of veteran freedom fighter Durue deeply saddened, but also angered the Eritreans abroad. Since February 19, Eritrean social media have been flooded with tributes to Haile "Durue" Woldensae, the country's former foreign minister who had been in incommunicado detention since September 18, 2001. The social media reaction was ignited by a post bySacttism, a Facebook page run by an anonymous regime whistle-blower, which announced the death of Durue. The Facebook post stated that the veteran freedom fighter died in the infamous Eirairo prison on January 25. According to the report, he was allegedly buried in the bushes near the grounds of Eirairo by guards, like many others who died in the prison camp before him. The post received nearly 2,000 shares on Facebook and garnered a thread of comments that went beyond 4,500 in just a couple of days. The comments reflected a wide range of feelings, including vulnerability, sorrow, anger but also a sense of guilt. "This surely must be a cause for all of us to do something," one commentator said. "I urge all justice-loving Eritreans to reserve a wall in their home. This wall must be filled with pictures of all prisoners of conscience," added another. Click here to read Durue Eiraero Eritrea

The health benefits of sesame oil include its ability to improve skin and hair health, help in bone growth, cure dental problems, reduce blood pressure, maintain heart health, as well as manage anxiety and depression. It also helps to protect infant health, prevent cancer, improve the digestive process, and lower inflammation.
What is Sesame Oil?
Sesame oil or gingelly oil, which comes from sesame seeds, is lesser-known vegetable oil. It is, in fact, one of the healthiest alternatives to normal vegetable oils. Sesame seeds are small yellowish brown seeds that are primarily found in Africa, but they also grow in smaller numbers on the Indian subcontinent.
Sesame oil has gained quite a bit of popularity in recent years because it is relatively inexpensive to extract (simple hot water flotation or a variety of pressing techniques). However, this oil is best acquired when the seeds are completely ripe, which means that the outer shells burst. The problem is the manual processing that sesame seeds require, because of which there will always be more demand than supply.
The impressive amount of vitamins such as vitamin E and vitamin K (source: USDA), organic compounds, and other beneficial components in sesame oil is the reason why it is considered so healthy.

Health Benefits of Sesame Oil
Let's take a closer look at what health benefits can actually be enjoyed when you add this oil to your diet.
Hair Care
Sesame oil has traditionally been used to improve hair health. A study conducted on the bioactive components of sesame oil revealed that black sesame oil can help retain the natural hair color and minimize hair loss. Furthermore, the anti-bacterial effects of gingelly oil can help eliminate the pathogens or foreign bodies that can attack your scalp or hair.
Research published in 2006 states that adding sesame oil to the diet can help manage the plasma glucose levels in hypertensive diabetics. It is also helpful in lowering high blood pressure.
Skin Care
Gingelly oil is rich in zinc, given it is extracted from zinc-rich sesame seeds, which is one of the most important minerals for your skin. It can increase skin elasticity and smoothness and reduce oxidative stress, thereby helping reduce the appearance of age spots and eliminating skin conditions, including premature aging.
A study conducted by Dr. Lily Zhong, California State University, Los Angeles, USA, revealed that applying sesame oil topically to the skin can help create a protective layer on the skin and save you from the harmful UV rays. In some places, sesame oil has even been used to treat fungal diseases on the skin.
Protects Heart Health
Sesame oil is a heart-friendly and delicious oil because of its fatty acid content. According to research conducted on the 'Effect of sesame oil on serum and liver lipid profiles in the rat', sesame oil is able to lower bad cholesterol levels as it contains a wide range of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including sesamol and sesamin. These fatty acids keep the cardiovascular system strong and the LDL cholesterol levels low, thereby preventing atherosclerosis. This means that you are better protected from a heart attack and stroke if you add sesame oil to your diet.
Improves Bone Quality
Copper and calcium present in sesame, are integral to bone growth in the body. This means that by adding sesame oil to your diet, you can increase the rate of bone growth and development. This oil will also speed up any healing or regrowth of bones. As you get older, sesame oil can help you avoid osteoporosis and various age-related weaknesses in the bones.
Relieves Anxiety
Tyrosine, in gingelly oil, has been directly connected to serotonin activity in the brain. This can help boost the mood by flooding the body with enzymes and hormones that make a person feel happy. In other words, when you are suffering from anxiety or depression, sesame oil can give you a positive boost and turn your mood around.
Oral Health
Sesame oil is highly recommended by dental professionals because of a process called oil pulling, which involves putting oil in your mouth and then swishing it around before spitting it out. With sesame oil, this process has been directly linked to whiter teeth, lower levels of dental plaque, and protection against certain streptococcus mutants that can make us very ill. The powerful anti-bacterial effect of this oil is the main reason for this boost in dental health.
Prevents Cancer
Studies suggest that sesame oil rich in sesamol lignan and sesamin may help in inducing apoptosis and preventing the growth of cancer cells in case of breast cancer and prostate cancer.
Gingelly oil contains an organic compound called phytate may provide protection against cancer. Furthermore, the linoleic acid level in sesame oil is high and this essential mineral is directly linked to lowered chances of colorectal cancer.
However, more research and scientific evidence are needed.
Boosts Circulation & Metabolism
High copper content means that the body is able to function at its optimal levels, mainly because copper is required for the production of red blood cells. With a significant percentage of copper in sesame oil, your body is sure to get the right amount of blood flowing to the organs and tissues, ensuring a healthier lifestyle.
Reduces Inflammation
Sesame oil is rich in copper, which is a natural anti-inflammatory substance that can help reduce the inflammation and discomfort of various conditions such as gout and arthritis. It reduces the swelling of joints and strengthens the bones and blood vessels. This keeps your frame strong and sturdy for many years without any painful inflammation.
Prevents DNA Damage
Sesame oil contains a dietary phytochemical called sesamol, which has antioxidant properties. According to a study published in the Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology journal, these antioxidant properties of sesamol help to protect you against DNA damage.
Infant Growth
Research conducted by the Department of Paediatrics, University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi, India, suggests that use of oils like herbal oils, mustard oil, sesame oil for massaging infants can help boost growth in them. Moreover, it also helps increase blood circulation and induces proper sleep in infants.
Uses Of Sesame Oil
- Sesame oil is used in cooking, and it is most commonly used in Asian cuisines, including Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian dishes, as well as in Middle Eastern cuisines.
- Sesame oil has also been used in massages, due to its beneficial effects on the body and skin.
- It is a highly sought-after oil, even as a carrier oil for various cosmetic products.
Word of Caution: If you are taking anticoagulant or blood-thinning medications, you should speak with your doctor before adding sesame oil to your diet. It lowers your blood pressure and thins the blood. So, combining those could be potentially dangerous. Otherwise, enjoy it in any way you like. Happy cooking!

"'A Salute to the Golden Horseshoe Revue' is a Hit with Disneyland Guests"!
That was the Youtube post from the company after the debut of Disneyland's first 'Limited Time Magic' offering. And, judging by the gushing guests featured in the video, such was the case:
"Fun, all-around show… Lively and entertaining."
"High-energy… western dancing… can-can girls… lot of fun."
"The music was fun… dancers were really really good… we thought the band was great, too."
The Disney videographers were out in force opening day as guests left the theater, asking everyone what they thought of the 'Salute'. Those who were less-than-enthusiastic were thanked and invited to go on their way. Those who were judged properly effusive were awarded online immortality. The result was a record of giddy endorsements as bland and random as the show itself.
Here's the first anyone heard of the event, in Disney's own words:
"The fabled Frontierland show returns to Disneyland park for one month only, bringing back the corny jokes and enduring songs that were often enjoyed by Walt Disney himself."
Shortly thereafter they back-pedaled… Now the show wouldn't be a return of the original, but would instead be a "tribute to the Golden Horseshoe Revue".
In a promotional interview, the event's young director opined it would be impossible to recreate the original Revue without the talents of Wally Boag and Betty Taylor. Which made no sense to me for two reasons:
First, the original show was performed anywhere from 25 to 70 times a week. Wally rarely worked more than 4 days a week, and Betty only 5. The remaining shows were handled by their understudies. (I myself often did ten performances a day in the summer of 1980, when the park was celebrating its 25th anniversary.)
All the same, the GHR was NEVER performed "without the talents of Wally Boag". In 1965 Wally was made the GHR show director and he personally saw to it that we knew our stuff and were able to fill whatever holes there were in the original line-up. The content and love of the original show – all that we learned from Wally and company – has never left us… any of us.
And second, the understudies are still here! Terri Robinson, Betty's #1 understudy, is still around and talented and beautiful as ever, and there are others. Only the male singers are all gone, but with the variety of talent at Disney's command (and Dana Daniels' excellent video tribute to Fulton Burley up on Youtube) how hard could it be to teach someone to sing Clancy Lowered the Boom?!
In fact, no fewer than three of Wally's understudies – Dick Hardwick, Jim Adams & Dana Daniels – were pictured together on the Horseshoe saloon stage only last year (and they still look funny)!
Alright, so there's the talent needed to recreate the original show. But let's say none of those people are available or fit to recapture that magic. Does this mean we must resort to the lame-script-and-glad-hand that we wound up getting?
The Golden Horseshoe Revue was never scripted. It evolved through trial-and-error, through addition and amendment; it took in what every new talent contributed, kept what worked (in other words, what got laughs) and quickly dropped the rest. Performers who joined the show might get sheet music with some specialty lyrics for Slue Foot Sue, but the physical shtick and jokes were passed along from performer-to-performer like a family inheritance – or measles.
When I was hired in Wally asked me, "What do you want to do?" I told him I'd do a combination of my own proven material, and some of his lines; I wanted to carry on the traditions he'd started. Once he judged that my performance met his standard, he was fine with all of it. (Indeed, one of the great moments of my life was the night Wally Boag told me, "You made me laugh.")
The point is that he trusted me to do what would work, just as Walt had trusted him – and as all performers in the original show were trusted – to make the show great from 1955 to 1986. We were hired because we knew music and comedy and audiences and because we loved the Golden Horseshoe and knew our jobs better than any staff writer/director ever could.
Watching that taped interview with the 'Limited Time Magic' show director, I couldn't help thinking of a funeral orator who speaks in glowing generalities about the deceased because he never met him.
So instead of three headliners we got 'Miss Lilly' and some Happy Generic Western-types, who grinned and nudged each other with every lyric for no specific reason.
The Can-Can Dancers seemed too young to be saloon girls… and The Band was hap-hap-happy in a way the originals never were; because the originals were part of an 1871 saloon show and these guys were working for 'Diz-nee'.
But that's nit-picking, isn't it? The authentic, historic attitudes that made the original GHR such a stand-out in this Land of Pre-Packaged Family Entertainment don't come quickly and would be difficult to recreate in such a short run (that is, without an experienced hand in charge). Ah, well…
The show – what there was of it – might be more accurately described as a distilled version of the thoroughly-scripted Golden Horseshoe Jamboree which supplanted the original Revue in 1986 (small wonder – they were both scripted by the same staff writer). The overture was straight from the Revue (with a shiny, new arrangement), but the rest was an amalgam of moments, taken out of context and paraded in the name of nostalgia.
Nostalgia, though, needs to be something unique to the past that we feel passionately about today; something we've lost whose return inspires deep emotions. This 'Salute' was more of the same generic performance we get every day in the parks. The level of writing, wit and personality of the original Revue were nowhere to be found.
I prayed the show might begin with a sentimental segment on the theater's history; using the stories of Walt and the cast to set the stage for a rousing return to the laughs and spectacle of the original Revue. Instead –16 minutes into the 20 minute show – Miss Lilly started talking about the theater as if she only just learned its history. She presented a few bits of information, universally known or somewhat inaccurate, doing her giddy best to make them sound like the most exciting, insightful behind-the-scenes trivia imaginable.
We reached the height of nostalgia when Lilly confided that Walt Disney had hand-picked, "the Disney Legends of Fulton Burley, Betty Taylor and WWWWWALLY BOAG!" After leading the expected applause, Lilly introduced the can-can, everyone sang their goodbyes and the 'Salute' was over.
Dear Reader – Most of the people who actually saw the show will tell me that they loved it and I'm out of line.
The few aging Mouseketeers with vivid memories of the original Revue might wish I had been more charitable, or might mourn with me the opportunity that was so unnecessarily missed this past month.
Or you might fall somewhere in between.
Personally, I believe Wally would have considered it a greater tribute to see the people and material he'd created and approved up on that stage, rather than a synopsized version of the 'Jamboree', a show that he had nothing to do with.
But whatever our thoughts, this much is certain: The Original Golden Horseshoe Revue could have and always can be revived. More to the point, any show can be as strong and funny and memorable and beloved as the GHR, if the cast and content – and tradition – are treated with love and wit and respect.

While teams are understandably after the young England international should Premier League teams also start looking at former West Brom and Aston Villa defender Curtis Davies?
Birmingham City are certainly a club in a mini-crisis. Not only are they underperforming in the league but off the pitch the club is in financial turmoil. The blame for their current predicament lies pretty much solely at the door of Carson Yeung.
Their enigmatic owner was charged with money laundering offences in 2011 and since then money has stopped flowing into the club and a protracted transfer from former QPR supremo Gianni Paladini appears to have gone cold.
It has left the club willing to listen to offers for some of their more valuable assets as they attempt to fight off the threat of administration and potential relegation.
One player has been the subject of more transfer hysteria than any other at St Andrews; their young England international goalkeeper Jack Butland. Sure you can understand why as he is a highly talented stopper with a bright future ahead of him but is he the best bargain available at the club?
This season he has not been in fantastic form for Lee Clark's men; making uncharacteristic mistakes that have on occasion proven costly.
Yet there is one player in the Birmingham squad who it is perplexing to believe no Premier League teams have considered making an approach for.
Curtis Davies has been on the scene for a few years now; originally catching they eye at Luton Town as they rose up the football ladder (and have since tumbled back down it). Named League One Player of the Year in 2005; the same year Sam Ricketts was nominated for the award with a League Two Swansea City side (funny old game) he soon found himself the envy of many a top club.
Eventually he signed for West Brom which started his affinity with the Birmingham area which also included a spell at Aston Villa.
His time at Villa Park had its downs and well more downs; from comparing his debut performance to that of a 'pub player' and suffering injury after injury the player once dubbed a future England international looked far from the finished article.
He moved to Birmingham in 2011 and two years on he has proven his talent is still prominent. Last year he was named in the Championship Team of the Season and at 27-years-old he has been one of the best players in the league this season; often earning City valuable points single-handedly.
So if anyone wants to raid Birmingham City this January casting an eye over Curtis Davies may be just as profitable a bargain as the more touted Jack Butland.

Morning Bog: A Near Nats Fireworks Fail
Had the Nats gone on to lose yesterday afternoon, the Fireworks Fail would have been so agonizingly perfect that the rest of the Fail Campaign would have to have been called off, because you can't mess with perfection like that. It's like talking during a perfect game. A premature fireworkulation, followed by a walk to Chipper Jones, followed by a game-winning home run; that's the stuff of legend. They'd have talked about that for as long as this franchise exists.
But they won, and so it goes from Historical Fail to humorous side-note on the path to a two-game winning streak, complete with humorous quotes from both teams.
"I turned around to [manager] Manny [Acta], I said 'You got one more pitch, bro,' " Jones said.
"We've got to win a little more," catcher Josh Bard said, "for [the fireworks operators] to get some practice."

The Wash-Nats were just paying homage to the P-Nats, who had a fireworks fail at the top of the 9th on July 4 (still in need of 3 outs). They went on to win the game. After the game, some guy in Armor Alls and a batting helmet ran the bases and slid head first into home, to the delight of several P-Nats players. He must have lost a bet.
J-Zimm should pose with the cheese-prez.

Congrats to Zimm - but I can't think of anything more ridiculous in the world of sports than the MLB All-Star Game. It reminds me of playing in the backyard as a 7 year old, making up the rules to a game as you go.

PLEASE get the Caps play by play on WJFK, 1500 AM sucks! The Wiz are already on ESPN 980, so that's okay.

I am sad about the death of WJFK and the end of a entire genre of radio, last "guy talk/shock jock" station in the US on FM. I do think the Nats and Caps need a radio station though. Its a joke that I can walk to Nats park in 5 minutes but cannot get a signal from their radio station.
Posted by: alex35332 | July 6, 2009 9:49 AM | Report abuse
I don't listen to shock jock stations but would agree that the Nats need to get back on FM radio. 1500 AM barely comes in at night where I live, and it's not crystal clear during the day. Just checked and WJFK does come in well here (Fairfax County).

I think 1500 AM does a terrific job with the Caps games, much better than WTEM did when it had the games. I know it all comes down to the dollars, but I hope the Caps stay put. Also, I think Tiger Woods has jumped the shark. BBBBoooorrrriiiinnnngggg............

Yea, I'm late to the party but ... was that Abe carved out of guv'ment cheese?
And who ****ing cares what Jim Bowden is twittering about? The guy is as past tense as "Natinals uniform fail" (and I think you have special insight into how doornail-dead that one is already Right, Stein?)

Institut SinaranDK221(S)
Sinaran Students Achieve A Star Rating
Starting this year 2010, Cambridge GCE A-Level student are given A star rating if they obtain 90 marks and above in their individual subjects, while 80-89 marks would be given an A. The reclassification of the A grade has inspired Sinaran students to aim for the stars and it was therefore a great day of rejoicing for the "IS Family" when the results were released recently.
5 Students achieved straight 4A*s while another 10 who also achieved 4s had a combination of A*s and As. 14 others achieved 3As while another 7 achieved 2As.
An elated Mdm Lim Khoon Chin, CEO of Institut Sinaran congratulated all the students for their excellent performance and the lecturers for their undivided commitment and dedication to prepare the students well for the exam. However, Mdm Lim added," IS is sad that some students did not achieve their full potential because they were lacking in self discipline and motivation and were therefore not consistent in their efforts to strive for excellence." She further encouraged the students to continue to persevere and strive to do better when they go on to universities. For those who may not be able to get a place in university for the course of their choice, they should not give up but to give themselves a second chance by retaking the exam to better their grade, she added.

The problem with moving web services is DNS. DNS is a silly protocol - it uses a hierarchy to scale, which perhaps makes sense admin-wise (don't forget that scaling means more than just performance, administration is usually at least as important given the cost of man hours). But a hierarchy is a disaster when it comes to performance since the root nodes quickly end up being swamped - think 100 million clients all querying .com domains simultanously. DNS uses caching extensively to alleviate this problem.
And this is the problem starts. There is as far as I know no way to clear the cache. So with a typical DNS entry with maybe a time to live of 12 hours, you have a pretty long period in which some clients may see the old IP address and some clients are seeing the new.
In some cases, it's not a problem to have both web servers running at the same time. But if a site is modifying the database, it's more difficult as you don't want to have two inconsistent databases.
There are several ways to fix this, including staying up late at night until all your visitors have gone to bed, but I'll show a neat trick which is really easy to pull off and which shouldn't cause any sweat.
Start by installing Varnish, a reverse proxy server, on the old server. If you are on Debian, it's
aptitude install varnish and you then get a
/etc/default/varnish file. In there are a couple of lines like:
DAEMON_OPTS="-a :6081 \
-T localhost:6082 \
-b localhost:8080 \
-u varnish -g varnish \
-s file,/var/lib/varnish/$INSTANCE/varnish_storage.bin,1G"
The first line means that Varnish is listening on port 6081 and the third line means that it is forwarding everything it sees to localhost port 8080. So change that third line to
-b 123.456.789.012:80 or whatever the IP address of your shiny new server, execute
/etc/init.d/varnish restart and go test it by accessing your old host on port 6081, e.g.
http://www.example.com:6081. It should return the page from your new server - you can verify it by looking in the log on the new server.
What happens here is that Varnish parses the request from your browser, forwards it to the backend (your web server on the new server) and caches and returns the web server response to the browser. It's of course a pretty dumb idea to fetch the content over the web twice, from the new server to the old server and then from the old server to the web browser, but we won't be doing it for long. And Varnish will cache as much as its default configuration allows for.
Then when you think you're ready, change the first line above so that Varnish is listening on port 80 instead:
DAEMON_OPTS="-a :80 \
-T localhost:6082 \
-b 123.456.789.012:80 \
-u varnish -g varnish \
-s file,/var/lib/varnish/$INSTANCE/varnish_storage.bin,1G"
Then stop your web server, e.g. with
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop and restart varnish with
/etc/init.d/varnish restart. This puts Varnish in the place where the old web server was before. So from now on, there's only one web server seing the requests, the one on the new server. So you can switch over DNS from the old IP address to the new address, and when the last DNS entries have expired, you won't be getting hits anymore on Varnish on the old server.
Varnish can process requests based on URL and host so if you're serving multiple hosts from the same server, it's possible to forward only some request to the new server. It's pretty easy to do, you just need to enable a configuration file and put the stuff in there. In Debian there's an example configuration in /etc/varnish/default.vcl. As long as Varnish is not listening on port 80, it's pretty easy to experiment with it.
While you're at it you might want to start with putting Varnish on the new server in front of your ordinary web server. If there's something Varnish can cache, pages that look the same for several clients, it can save some serious load.

Charlotte Hornets
PJ Hairston, Hornets fall in summer league semifinal
Rookie P.J. Hairston finished with 27 points and seven rebounds, but it wasn't enough as the Charlotte Hornets fell to the Houston Rockets 83-79 in the Las Vegas Summer League semifinals at Thomas & Mack Center.
The Hornets lost all three games in pool play, leading to a low seed, but they won their next two games in the elimination tournament to advance to within a round of the final.
Playing without Cody Zeller for the second straight game, the Hornets got 18 points and 14 rebounds from Josh Davis, who could be a training camp invitation at UNC-Asheville. Rookie Noah Vonleh, the ninth overall pick in June, finished with nine points and 16 rebounds.
Rick Bonnell
Cleveland: The burden has been lifted off former Duke star Kyrie Irving, in more ways than one. The nagging questions and incessant rumors about his future are gone, dissipating the instant he agreed to a $90 million max extension with the Cavs.
Gone, also, is the burden of lifting the Cavaliers out of oblivion. Irving has been the face of this franchise since he arrived, and some of the scrutiny he faced was directly tied to the departure of LeBron James.
Irving, then 19, after all, first had to answer questions about replacing LeBron while at the draft lottery three years ago when the Cavs won the first overall pick and the right to select him. The two stars have been in some ways connected, for better or worse, ever since.
"I'm happy he's back," Irving said Saturday during his high school basketball camp. "It's going to be a pleasure to learn from him and grow with him these next few years."
Irving is under the Cavs' control for the next six years. James can be a free agent again next summer, but after his letter was published by Sports Illustrated, the Cavs are operating under the belief he will end his career here.
Irving sent James his congratulations after the announcement, but has otherwise left him alone.
"It's an exciting time for downtown Cleveland. I'm excited," Irving said. "Everything is happening so fast."
Akron Beacon Journal
L.A. Clippers: Glen "Big Baby" Davis, 28, re-signed with the Clippers. He averaged averaged 4.2 points and 3.0 rebounds in 23 games last season, when he joined the Clippers at the end of February. Associated Press
Miami: Mario Chalmers has lots of reason to smile, mostly because the Heat re-signed him for two years after many felt he was no longer wanted. His poor play in the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs is now a thing of the past, he said.
He mulled offers from the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks and Chicago Bulls. In the end, Miami is where he wanted to remain.
Chalmers said he was shocked to see James return to Cleveland. Chalmers, among the closest players to James, has since wished his former teammate well.
"I'm not mad at him at all," Chalmers said. "He had to do what was best for him and his family." Sun Sentinel

Here you will find some results of a lifelong study of that rent-seeking complex of vaunting and fear some call the "System". This work is informed in part by my studies in physics, dynamical systems, Austrian School economics, psychology, law, revisionist history, linguistics, biology, evolution and the origins of order, chaos, complexity and information theory, monetary theory and history, market analysis, and so on. These viewpoints can be coalesced into a consilient theory of the course of human events: Asimovian Psychohistory. One modeling technique is to map the current times against past events- the history-rhyming theory. I study the examples of Rome, Nazi Germany, the Great Depression, the USA, and of course the old Soviet Union, which is a close, modern analog of the American Empire (and its creation, btw).
The collapse of the American/Atlanticist/Anglo Empire has already commenced, with the gutting of the manufacturing base in the imperial core (Triffin's Dilemma), the overstretch of the imperial military, the barbarian invasion from within, the dissasociative mentality of the ruling elite, the increase in transaction costs (complexity), the loss of entrepreneurial initiative, the evisceration of the law, the domination of parasitic over productive economic activity, and most critically: the accelerating abandonment of the worldwide dollar-reserve standard.
A New Dark Age is descending upon us in several crucial aspects: in those black holes in the cultural memory, and in the increased time-preference* of the modern American. As others have noted, a Dark Age is not necessarily all bad news. I hope that you will find this information applicable in your every day life, dear Reader.
*I may add a glossary and bibliography for the underlined stuff later.
Below is in part a report on recent (as of April10th, 2005) field results concerning
The Evisceration of the Law
Some useful April Fools 'discoveries' that are found in this documented case about a make-believe crime against a make-believe Victim, with make-believe evidence, in a make-believe Court with a make-believe Jury, a make-believe Counsel, and a make-believe Judge citing make-believe Law from a make-believe Authority:
Imaginary "crimes" Without Victims
Evidence Conversion (a color-of-law indicator)
Commercial Bar Representation vs. Assistance of Counsel
The Commercial Nature of the Court
Compelled Testimony (shades of the Inquisition)
Statutory Built-in Judicial Partiality
Kafkaesque Quantum-superposition of Proceedings (I don't even know what this court is!)
Unconscionable Contract
And the capper: A Fake Jury That Can Be Overruled
Timeline and documentation:
April 1st, 2004. 3:30 AM. I was traveling in my automobile* on a public right-of-way. Another automobile sporting bright blue and red flashing lights appeared behind me. When I pulled over to let this apparent emergency vehicle pass, it stopped behind my automobile. An armed man wearing a costume festooned with a variety of totems and amulets got out, came over and performed a ritualistic harassing of myself. Sensing a crime in the making, I did not "cooperate" beyond the normal things one does during a hold up. He falsely claimed I was "drinking and driving". It is a very simple matter to determine that the crime rate in the US is skyrocketing, by using the definition: a crime is a trespass against a real person.
*An excellent brief on the difference between traveling and driving is at- http://reallysmartpeople.com/Downloads/legal/Court/Cher%20Grosse/6785.pdf
Sometime during the summer of 2004, an alleged complaint was issued. There is no date on it. Finally found out about it in August, the record of the first hearing is Doc #TR092104 or Transcript of Sept 23rd, 2004-tr092304.htm (not posted)
Then, for an October 21st, 2004 hearing, I fired the attorney that I had hired, and mentioned preparing a statutory challenge-transcript tr102104.htm so then on or about November 18th, 2004, I served upon Norm Maleng (head Prosecutor for King County or something) and Judge Chapman (KCDC) the NOTICE OF COLOR OF LAW EXPOSURE (0911 [NCOLE])- 0911ncol.htm which introduces the concept of Evidence Conversion as a reliable indicator of eviscerated Law. This thing- My First Notice, was a rush job, there are several flaws in it. Lots of additional links here, too.
Nov 22nd, 2004.Affidavit of Denial of Corporate Existence explains that the Plaintiff- the alleged injured Party- is a fiction. The concurrently filed Affidavit of Misinformation of Nature and Cause (along with the Demand for Bill of Particulars) elliptically explores a few of the voids in the current, alleged Law (code-law, or lex) Document # 1020amn.htm and establishes that the plea is void.
November 24th 2004. For this hearing, Judge #2 Smith first called in the Sheriff, and later cleared out the public witnesses from the courtroom.Transcript tr112404.htm All further appearances are entirely Under Duress: once burned, twice shy.
Dec 1st 2004. This Doc #4001 [DBP]Demand for Bill of Particulars has not been answered. The Affidavit of Denial of ProSe Status declares that I do not "represent" myself: when the mirror speaks, the reflection lies.
Dec 2nd, 2004. Yet another systems-check hearing, Judge(?) #3.Transcript tr120204.htm Notice how fluidly the topic switches from Assistance of Counsel to Representation by a Bar Association Attorney. This is a central feature of the "System", fyi. The Bar didn't exist when the US Constitution was written. Neither did State Prosecutors, who are also Bar Members, as are the Judges.
Dec 10th, 2004. Filed the Affidavit of Duress and Notice of Judicial Misconduct.Document # 1201ajm.htm
Jan 3rd, 2005 Doc #0101bx [NLJ] I filed theNotice of Lack of Jurisdiction. There are some tidbits on the real history of American law here, and on the Admiralty Law nature of traffic court- Document #0101b.htm
Jan 5th, 2005 Hearing with Judge #4 Mark Chow.Fake Jury confirmed by the Judge on page 44, line 17-18. Transcript tr010505.htm
Feb 11th , 2005 Combo motion hearing, quasi-trial, inquest (by myself) somethingorother.
I 'won', case dismissed.Fake Jury reaffirmed by Mark Chow in Transcript tr021105.htm page 13-14:
MR. BISHOP: The reason -- if you may recall on January 5th the reason I waived that is because you, sir, told me that you can overrule a jury.
THE COURT: Yeah, I can.
MR. BISHOP: And I spent quite a bit of time digging through statutes and procedures and court rules and yada, yada, yada. I cannot find this.
THE COURT: Okay. I understand you can't find it but I'm telling you I can.
MR. BISHOP: Do you know the rule? Where would I find it?
THE COURT: I'm not going to tell you. You can go look it up yourself. [rage & aggression indicia, the only instance in which I've seen Mr. Chow display this.] All I'm telling you: I ruled on it, you made a decision, I asked you about it. Okay, we're beyond that now.
A secret rule! Of course, in Admiralty Law, there is no Jury verdict required anyway…we've been beyond that for quite some time now.

To understand the de-civilizing process of the national-socialist police state, get Hans-Hermann Hoppe's Democracy: The God That Failed, available atwww.mises.org http://www.lewrockwell.com/englund/englund18.html (US debt analysis)
"Analysis: One must not confuse a country's past glory with its future prospects. The United States has devolved from a republic to a social democracy. I would argue that the U.S. is experiencing economic "undevelopment" directly related to the decivilization process occurring in America today. In Hans-Hermann Hoppe's fabulous book Democracy: The God That Failed, Dr. Hoppe describes what happens to a populace living under nanny-statism. He describes how the decivilizing nature of social democracy
"…has led to permanently rising taxes, debts, and public employment. It has led to the destruction of the gold standard, unparalleled paper-money inflation, and increased protectionism and migration controls. Even the most fundamental private law provisions have been perverted by an unabating flood of legislation and regulation. Simultaneously, as regards civil society, the institutions of marriage and family have been increasingly weakened, the number of children has declined, and the rates of divorce, illegitimacy, single parenthood, singledom, and abortion have increased…In comparison to the nineteenth century, the cognitive prowess of the political and intellectual elites and the quality of public education have declined. And the rates of crime, structural unemployment, welfare dependency, parasitism, negligence, recklessness, incivility, [pyschopathology], and hedonism have increased." (emphasis added. The Marxist family court system appears to be even more destructive than the DUI 'industry', and is directly responsible for much of the above)

Law vs. Lex
Imperial Growth and Collapse
Geopolitical Empire is a form of pyramid scheme: a hierarchical, dynamical system composed of individual Actors in capacities as (crudely) Masters (the early investors), Enforcers (organized crime) and Slaves (the dupes, or downstream investors). These model terms and boundaries are idealizations; no one can perfectly embody the properties of a 'pure' Master, for example. As with the dyadic transactional models of a back-alley mugging or a con, net crime flows one way, while net resources flow the other way.
This socioeconomic structure can be analyzed (for example) in terms of transport phenomena and their associated gradients, in a multi-species Predator-Prey equation. We can then speak of such things as crime gradients, energy-use gradients, purchasing-power gradients, complexity gradients, and, perhaps most crucially, information gradients. The structure of the information held by each Actor has a precise and discernable form, that differs in relation to the Actors overall position in the Empire Gradients.
The Actor's (theoretical) internal cognitive state (his psychology and worldview) and resultant external responses to certain stimuli are somewhat predictable. The time-evolving set of cognitive maps produced from the actions within the network of dyadic transactions between the different Actor's forms a psychodynamical system. I call this the "Psychostructure", to differentiate it from less precise, collectivist terms such as 'culture', 'class', 'society', 'us', 'them', or 'a people's beliefs', and to name the system under study. The 'System' evoked above can then be called the Psychostructure of the American Empire.http://www.americanempireproject.com "Americans have long believed that the very notion of empire is an offense against our democratic heritage, yet in recent months, these two words -- American empire -- have been on everyone's lips…"
Collapse of the American Empire, by Kirkpatrick Salehttp://www.counterpunch.org/sale02222005.html
Surviving in the Interstices, by William Marinahttp://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=1412
"Throughout history there have been numerous inflations, depressions, and periods of societal breakdown.... one of the most interesting aspects of this "modern" predicament is the essential rejection of history, even by many in that profession. It has been fashionable, especially among those who advocate social planning, to stress the new and unique aspects of modern industrial society…"
Asimovian Psychohistory
The physical and cognitive structures described above can be represented as a distortion, or perturbation, of a violence-free network of dyadic, voluntary exchange. Bearing in mind the fundamental non-computability of economic systems, as the Austrian School economists have shown, here are some conjectures:
a) The trajectory of the putative Psychostructural Vector in a cognitive and economic product space is predictable to some degree. In other words, the future course of human events can be mapped with some confidence.
b) The confidence of the prediction rises with the increased distortion of the violence-free market. (The rise of Empire is the physical manifestation of that market distortion.)
c) The physical distortion is accompanied by an increasing mismatch between objective reality and the cognitive maps of the various Actors.
d) TheDark Age begins in tandem with the rise of Empire. The collapse only reveals the Darkness, or information loss.
e) The overall process of growth and collapse is independent of the particular rate and state of technological development, but a higher level of (information) technology acts as a net process accelerator.
An example of a psychohistorical prediction of record that I made in a UN study:
"Prediction: Civil unrest and martial law in the US, a large war(s) abroad within three years...
Basis: 'Arranged' or 'permitted' attacks on USS Maine, HMS Lusitania, Reichstag, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, USS Cole, etc."[and other bases noted in the study]
–Forrest Bishop, November 7th, 2000.
This prediction was made regardless of whom might win the US elections. Since that time we have seen 9/11, the alleged War(s) on Terror, the largest antiwar demonstrations in history, a militarized capital city, and so on. The prediction isn't very exact, though it was in the right ball park, almost presaging 9/11, which is about the best that can be expected. I call thisFourth Turning the Homeland Security Period of American history.
