"I've got four of those," Mickelson said. Open in Philadelphia when he had a two shot lead with two holes to play. He made bogey on the 17th and, not knowing the score, played the par 5 18th aggressively and took a triple bogey. So i dont know how much of that i believe. I also have to wonder how exactly the purchases the cops made went down. I doubt the drugdealers are walking around the place with a sign.
He was anti democratic and made no pretences about that. He made a mess of his own transition programme, so much so that he got the five political parties which he created to adopt him as a consensus presidential candidate even when he was still in military uniform and was not officially a member of any of the political parties.Obasanjo promised to make a difference. Six years after leaving office, the jury is still out as to whether he fared better than Abacha.

Buying with that healthy cushion should help the Jordan carry your child through the school year or at least, through the semester! Make sure your child heel is actually backed up to the shoe heel, and that he or she is not wiggling that foot around, trying to make a shoe they like fit..

To avoid the holes and ruts, Satterthwaite drove extra slowly and elaborately now, cutting from one side on the road to the other as if on an obstacle course.

text: Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes — Try These! 2 Comments/in Nutrition /by Chris and Kara MohrAhhh, we're back in NJ hanging with my family for Christmas. Ella is loving being with her Nonni and Grandpa. We're loving a little help with her and great cooking. And it's good to get a little R & R. This week is crazy with the holidays — but I had to take a second to share this splurge meal (and recipe) we ate because I know you'll love it — went to the track to do some sprints this morning (little cold, but it felt great to get out!), then had one of our favorite splurge meals. Blueberry pancakes! Awww, man did these taste good! Now I'm not talking about adding some water to a box of Bisquick, smothering them with artificial syrup crap and calling it a day. This recipe is killer. A friend of mine sent me an advanced copy of his brand new Plant Based Recipe Guide — 134 mouth watering recipes — that were created to get lean, build muscle, and just improve overall health. The one for Blueberry Pancakes on page 22 caught my eye immediately (it's one of the 36 recipes JUST for breakfast alone!) — my entire family, including our 18 month old Ella, LOVED them! Buckwheat Blueberry Pancakes Ingredients 1 cup buckwheat flour ¼ cup ground flaxseeds 2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg 1 banana 2 cups water ½ cup buckwheat flakes (or 1/2 cup whole oats, which we used because we had them) ½ cup blueberries Coconut oil Directions In a large bowl, mix together the flour, flaxseeds, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. In blender or food processor, blend the banana and water and then slowly add the dry mixture until smooth. Add buckwheat flakes (or oats) and blueberries (leave some blueberries to top pancakes with). Lightly oil a frying pan with some coconut oil over medium heat. Pour batter onto frying pan to the desired size of pancakes. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side. Top with fresh blueberries and organic maple syrup. Great stuff! Definitely try these and let me know what you think. Check out a few other recipes they included — really anxious to try these: Page 39 <<<–Basil Walnut Pesto (super easy, tons of flavor, and loads of nutrients) Page 55 <<<–White Bean Spread (PERFECT Christmas appetizer) Page 82 <<<–Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Page 104 <<<–Black Bean Soft Tacos (great quick lunch!) Page 110 <<<–Chocolate Pudding (who doesn't love dessert) Page 112 <<<– Sweet Potato Pudding (can't wait to try this one) FYI — in the spirit of the holidays, the recipe guide with 134 savory recipes is on sale for just 3 days — just $19.95 (and since it's a digital product, it's great to just print out what you want and keep it by you while prepping the food). PS: I'm going to try another recipe and will share it with you Friday … stay tuned!

Dead Man Incorporated Associate Exiled to 10 Years in Prison on Drug Charges
|U.S. Attorney's Office February 14, 2013
BALTIMORE—U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett sentenced Kelly Witter, age 27, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for conspiracy to participate in a violent racketeering enterprise known as the Dead Man Incorporated (DMI).
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Stephen E. Vogt of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Special Agent in Charge Steven L. Gerido of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives-Baltimore Field Division; Chief James W. Johnson of the Baltimore County Police Department; Colonel Marcus L. Brown, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police; Commissioner Anthony W. Batts of the Baltimore Police Department; Anne Arundel County Police Chief Larry W. Tolliver; Secretary Gary D. Maynard of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services; Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger; Baltimore City State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein; and Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Frank R. Weathersbee.
According to court documents, DMI was created originally in 2000 as a prison gang in Maryland and at its inception was closely allied to the Black Guerilla Family (BGF), another prison gang. By 2006, DMI expanded its membership by recruiting members outside prison, including women.
According to Witter's plea agreement, she was associated with the DMI enterprise and knowingly and willfully became a member of the conspiracy. Witter was trafficking in cocaine, crack, and prescription pills with individuals who later became members and leaders of DMI. Witter distributed crack with those DMI members for many months. Witter also obtained and redistributed crack from another member of DMI. By 2009, Witter was frequently in telephone contact with Perry Roark, the Supreme Commander of DMI, and she passed on messages for Roark and provided access to Roark to other members of DMI. Witter also admits that she sold crack cocaine on three occasions in February and March 2010.
Over the course of the conspiracy, Witter is responsible for distributing between 840 grams and 2.8 kilograms of crack cocaine.
Perry Roark, a/k/a Rock, "Pops," "Slim," "Saho the Ghost," age 42, previously pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison for conspiracy to participate in a violent racketeering enterprise known as the Dead Man Incorporated (DMI).
Mr. Rosenstein praised the FBI; ATF; Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services; Baltimore County Police Department; Anne Arundel County Police Department; Baltimore City Police Department; the Maryland State Police; Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office; Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office; and Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office for their assistance in this investigation and prosecution.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Robert R. Harding and Christopher J. Romano, who prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

Question about PS3 and Blu-Ray "Profiles"
I've never heard a definitive answer to this question, so I thought I'd see if anyone here knew:
Are older PlayStation 3 units firmware-upgradeable to Blu-Ray profile 1.1?
Re: Question about PS3 and Blu-Ray "Profiles"
I have heard it is possible to upgrade the firmware to 1.1 but I have no conformation.
I know the updated firmware to allow True HD to be sent to the receiver by bit stream is coming soon.

Overturned dump truck shuts down East Freeway
Updated 1:14 pm, Wednesday, October 31, 2012
An overturned dump truck shut down the eastbound lanes of Interstate-10 Wednesday morning, police said.
Officers cleared the site and lanes of traffic re-opened around 8:30 a.m.
The dump truck lying on its side blocked all the lanes and traffic was diverted just east of the John Ralston exit on the East Freeway. The accident happened around 5:45 a.m. when the dump truck driver swerved and the vehicle overturned. He said that a car got in his lane and he swerved to avoid it. Traffic was diverted to the John Ralston exit while officers cleared the scene.
At 8 a.m., the truck was beginning to be turned upright so that lanes of traffic could re-open.
HPD officer W.J. Wehr said the driver will be ticketed with failure to stay in a single lane. The driver's record will also be investigated.

Constructing a Utica District Park playground accessible to disabled children is estimated to cost about $120,000, but officials are not waiting and wishing for money from the county.
They're not depending on state or federal grant dollars or even banking on a public-private partnership to make the park a reality.
Instead, they've issued an appeal to the Internet to see if online generosity could present a new solution for dealing with tight county budgets.
The money-gathering effort for the Utica park playground represents the county's first foray into crowdfunding, or waging online campaigns to raise money for a project.
The concept of crowdfunding was popularized by the website Kickstarter, which links artists and entrepreneurs with online donors willing to patronize their creative work. However, an increasing number of local governments are seizing on the same idea as they seek innovative ways of bankrolling public projects.

Bud Shank Biography
Clifford Everett Shank Jnr., 27 May 1926, Dayton, Ohio, USA. After studying and gigging on most of the reed instruments, Shank concentrated on alto saxophone, later doubling on flute and baritone saxophone. From 1947 he was resident on the west coast, playing in the big bands of Charlie Barnet, Alvino Rey, Art Mooney and Stan Kenton but making his greatest impact in small groups. With Shorty Rogers, Milt Bernhart, Bob Cooper, Art Pepper and Shelly Manne, he was one of the tightly knit group of Los Angeles-based musicians who formed the nucleus of the white west coast jazz scene of the 50s. As a member of the Lighthouse All-Stars and groups recording under the names of one or another of the leaders of the movement, Shank built a substantial reputation. He also recorded with Laurindo Almeida, beginning an association that was renewed several years later with the formation of the L.A. 4 (also featuring Ray Brown and Jeff Hamilton).
Although active in the film and television studios during the 50s and 60s, Shank continued to make jazz dates, and with increasing frequency. In 1974 he was a founder member of the L.A. Four. In the early 80s, by then wholly engaged in jazz, he toured as a single and also with Rogers, appearing in the UK with the Vic Lewis big band and recording with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Shanks extensive recorded output over four decades allows an interesting examination of his development as a musician. His early alto playing was derivative of Charlie Parker and Art Pepper, while his flute playing, taken up during his stint with Kenton, was highly original and greatly advanced the use of the instrument in bebop settings. In later years his alto style became highly personalized and no longer showed influences outside of his own creative impulse. Indeed, by the mid-80s he had abandoned his other instruments in order to concentrate fully on alto. At the age of 80, Shank formed his first ever band as leader, an astonishing feat of patience.

LeBron James torched the Celtics in crunch time yet again, challenging the myth of the clutch gene.
We just witnessed one of the best clutch performances in playoff history.
And it came from the hands of LeBron James.
With the game tied at 87 with just more than two minutes left, LeBron drained a contested 3-pointer from the left corner. Then on the next Heat possession, LeBron nailed another contested 3-pointer from the top of the key to make it a two-possession game with 40 seconds left. Then, he stole the ball from the Celtics and dunked it with a flourish.
But he wasn't done. With the game clock ticking down within 10 seconds, LeBron blew past Paul Pierce for a running 2-pointer off the glass.
Does it get any more clutch than that?
Well, perhaps if he did all that on the road, not in the comforts of the home crowd. But he already did that a few days ago in Boston.
With LeBron's recent clutch performances that drove the stake through the defending Eastern Conference champs, it's time to debunk the myth of the "clutch gene."
Such a genetic trait does not exist and, frankly, the notion it does is an insult to our rational basketball senses -- that players can be permanently handicapped or predisposed to perform in the clutch.
How many times do we have to witness a reputed non-clutch player make game-clinching plays before we acknowledge that this notion of a clutch chromosome is a farce?
How many times do we have to have the same tired discussion of which players have "it" and which players don't before we understand that "it" isn't a genetic trait?
How much contradictory evidence must we ignore before we let go of a forced narrative?
LeBron was supposedly not a clutch player, and then he was in Detroit in 2006-07 ... then he wasn't again last season in Boston and now he is against Boston. If LeBron was permanently handicapped to close games, then he would be rendered incapable of Wednesday's heroics. If it was genetic, then by definition, he couldn't flip the switch off and on. LeBron's clutch shortcomings were part of his fabric -- until it wasn't.
Is the mental hokey-pokey confusing your senses?
Here's an idea: let's do away with the clutch gene construct all together. A banishment is long overdue.
Time and time again, we're reminded that there are clutch performances, but not clutch players. LeBron has been clutch in his career and he has not been clutch in his career. Kobe Bryant has been clutch in his career and he has not been clutch in his career (he shot 25 percent in the last five minutes of the game within five points here in the playoffs). Michael Jordan has been clutch in his career and he has not been clutch in his career.
As human beings, we don't like randomness. And when it comes to the outcome of a critical basketball shot, randomness happens. So to fill in the gaps, we plug in artificial storylines and forced narrative. To make sense of it all, we have created a basketball mythology.
And that's all the idea of a clutch gene is.
A myth.

However if (real life example), I was known for being stronger than people who looked stronger than me because they were muscular or bigger, or even has some show of being stronger. Then I go up against someone who is roughly the same body size as me. I would find it insulting if one of my friends said that my opponent looked/was stronger than me.
So I freaking took out the Hulk (marvel comics) in my last match with just my index finger and one arm tied behind my back, and yet when I'm against someone who looks exactly like me (in body size, and shape), suddenly they're stronger just because they are more expressive in their personality. I would definitely take offense to that.
Because to me it only makes me think my friends have no faith in my ability to beat my opponent.
Now that example can't be applied largely to the Palpitoad, since Ash's Palpitoad wasn't even battling Clay's but still, to call out Ash's Palpitoad out like that really was uncalled for.
I would've accepted the following replacements for what Iris said:
1. That Palpitoad looks really strong, and looks like it has far more experience than Ash's Palpitoad (which should be true considering Clay is likely 5 times OLDER than Ash).
2. Ash looks like he has a tough battle. Clay's Palpitoad looks far more aggressive than Ash's Palpitoad (which is true because Ash's Palpitoad doesn't ROAR loudly and smacking its foot on the ground, causing damage to it).
And look at how easily Snivy killed the crap out of Palpitoad. I'm not saying Ash's Palpitoad could take vine whip, leaf blade and leaf storm, but Clay's Palpitoad rarely looked stronger.
Now I suppose I would be fine if Iris said what she said later in the battle. I mean Ash's Palpitoad has never really been dealt a lot 4x damage like Clay's Palpitoad.
But to say what Iris said without actually seeing the Palpitoad in actual battling is what I find insulting.
Because its like the concept of "your bark is worse than your bite" doesn't even cross their minds. For all we know Clay's Palpitoad (aside from knocking out Oshawott) could easily have been one of the weakest Palpitoad in existence.
But just because it acts more aggressively when it comes out of its Poke ball. It was necessary for Iris and Cilan to say that Clay's Palpitoad is stronger than Ash's Palpitoad.
Now maybe Cilan can use his Deus ex machina levels of connoisseur tasting and can easily tell who will win and lose in a match and would be more acceptable for Cilan to say what Iris did (only more connoisseur laced) . Iris however has no ability like that and therefore shouldn't have made that comment.
Now like I said I liked how Ash's Palpitoad was acknowledged since its unlikely we'll ever see it outside of battling BUT I think it could've been handled better.

Breaking Lines
The January 30th issue of The New Yorker prints a poem (not available online to non-subscribers) called "Booty," by Matthew Sweeney, which I rather liked on first reading. But when I listened to the recording of the author's reading of the poem included in The New Yorker's iPad app's presentation, things began to fall apart.
It's a short poem, 20 lines averaging a little more than 4 words/line, and 10 of the lines are end-punctuated with either a comma or a period; the other 10 have only internal punctuation. When Sweeney reads, he pauses at each of the 10 line breaks with final punctuation. Of those line breaks without final punctuation, there are 6 which he doesn't mark vocally at all, and 4 which he does mark with pauses every bit as long as those accompanying punctuated line breaks.
As it happens, those 4 all precede a prepositional phrase at the beginning of the next line. But so does one of the 6 unpunctuated line breaks without a pause, and there is one prepositional phrase internal to a line which does not receive a pause, so that's not what's happening.
On the page of The New Yorker, only 2 lines extend as much as 6 characters past any adjacent line, and those long lines have lots of the letter 'i'. The right edge of the poem is genteelly ragged, with only line 2 having a whole word ("T-shirt") beyond the lengths of its neighbors. Late in the poem, Sweeney breaks a line after "the"
so I slunk on, to the
market, where I half-lived,
and avoids a visually very short line, either "so I slunk on," or "where I half-lived," but he doesn't read his line-breaks anyway, and, by the way, what's with that comma after "on"? He's also not concerned with syllables per line, which range from 4 to 7; he's not counting words, which range from 2 to 6 per line; he certainly isn't counting stresses, which range from 1 to 3 per line in his reading — just what is he doing?
It seems to me Sweeney wants his poem to sound a particular way, and so it does when he reads it; he wants it to look a particular way, and so it does when printed in an appropriate font. But either he doesn't care how readers who haven't heard him read the poem will read it to themselves, or he believes that his own sensibility is sufficiently representative of some more-or-less universal poetic sensibility that worthy readers will get it right by … well, somehow.
I guess I'm NOT a worthy reader.

Lewis Turco's The Book of Forms, 4th Ed.
The book's been indispensable for me since the 1968 1st edition (which Lew was kind enough to sign for me a few years ago) and I am very proud to say the new edition is out and includes a form I devised for Twitter and originally called a twinnet. I now call it a twiplet, and that's the name Lew used.
In related news, I posted about the publication in the UseNet group alt.arts.poetry.comments, where George Dance noticed it and was kind enough to add the form to his Penny's Poetry Pages Wiki. He also wrote a twiplet and posted it on the page including my definition and examples. I've added a link under "Poetry, Mostly Blogs" to George's site.

I've Been Trying
but my laptop died June 9 (wah!) and my desktop has been dedicated to production of a video promo pack for Fractal Folk (yay!) and the computers at work are for, weIl, for work (sigh), and my handwriting's gotten worse (wtf!), so I haven't done any writing done this month: I've completely forgotten how to work with pen and paper.
It will be August before I can replace the laptop, but Krys should finish the promo pack in the next few days, and I'll be back to work. I have been reading poetry I bought at West Chester, and I haven't forgotten Julie Kane. But the most exciting thing I've been reading, at least in terms of something I might use in my own work and thinking about poetry, is Annie Finch's The Ghost of Meter. I feel the earth move.

Line Breaks & Free Verse — a Clarification
While I was attempting last weekend to till the garden (I broke the tiller about a third of the way through the job) I spent some time thinking about reader's responses, in comments and email, to my control freak post — it seems I sowed confusion there as well — and I want to try to set things at least a little straighter than my garden rows. Please understand that I'm writing particularly about the performance of poems, and I know some poets don't give a damn about performance. They may be wonderful poets, but not for me. I'm just not interested in poetry written purely for the page. If a poem can't be read aloud to a competent, comprehending listener, I won't read more than a few lines and you can't make me. By the way, "comprehending" includes what happens when we hear "Jabberwocky."
First, I'll try to make clear what I mean by metrical versus free verse:
In metrical verse, some aurally distinguishable speech feature is counted to determine when the line breaks. Depending on language and custom, that feature could be stresses, syllables, patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables, syllables of a certain length, patterns of syllables of certain lengths, tones — it doesn't matter, as long as native speakers of the language can hear it. They need not be able to identify what it is that's counted to determine the line break.
If line length is determined by anything other than by counting aurally distinguishable features, then for my purposes here it's free verse. The poem may be organized in some ferociously complicated manner, but however important such organization may be to the poet and to any students of the poem, if a listening native speaker of the language cannot hear the effects of that organization as the poem is performed aloud, the poem is indistinguishable from free verse in performance, and that's all I care about here. Obviously that organization is very important in other contexts.
Whatever verse I write, whether free or metrical, I work damned hard to make it sound a certain way. I especially work hard to control the rhythm – the pace and the patterns of emphasis of the poem. And whatever verse I write, most of the tools work in pretty much the same way — length of clauses, kinds of subordination, syntactical jiggery-pokery, assonance and consonance, any rhyme (especially internal rhyme), passive or active verbs, almost everything. The great exception is the enjambed line break.
In metrical verse, enjambment speeds the pace of the poem – it jams the two lines together! In unrhymed metrical verse, particularly in longer lines such as the pentameter, excessive enjambment, just as excessive substitution, can blur the nature of the meter, as Johnson complained of Milton's blank verse.
In free verse, on the other hand, enjambment slows the pace of the poem — or, if it doesn't, then it can't be heard and is imperceptible in performance. When a listener can hear it, it has great expressive potential. To take just one example, by emphasizing both the last phrase of the first of the paired lines and the first phrase of the second, it can cue the reader that the poet intends unusual emphasis on their juxtaposition — an effect difficult to achieve in metrical verse without some typographical cue such as an ellipsis or a dash or a sprinkling of ungrammatical commas.
My complaint with some practitioners of free verse is that they read their work as if it were prose, and all that wonderful suggestion for the eye is lost to the ear. Ironically, free verse is most like chopped up prose when readers ignore the chopping.
This distinction in the function of enjambment in free versus metrical verse is destabilizing to the performance of both kinds — poets working both ways lose some confidence in how someone else will speak the lines. On balance, though, it seems to me I've got a better chance of getting a reasonable reading (no such thing as a correct reading) with metrical verse, and that's one reason I write mostly metrically.
This is not the first time I've nattered on about enjambment — I spent most of December 2004 writing about it, and my very last substantive post before moving from Radio to WordPress was on the subject. I don't anymore agree with everything I wrote then, but it does seem still useful.
Unlike the borrowed tiller. I'll rent next time.

I'm a Control Freak
I took part in a mailing-list discussion of how some poem should/could be scanned, and it made clear to me why I choose to write in meter. It isn't because I believe metrical verse is inherently superior to free verse: I believe no such thing. It's because, in this regard, I am a control freak.
Natural-sounding speech, even a good imitation of very colloquial speech, can be written in fairly strict meter by any moderately intelligent person who's worked hard enough, but it isn't natural speech. In metrical verse there's a dance between the rhythms of ordinary speech and the rhythm suggested by the meter, which is why we can speak of metrical promotion and demotion: in a metrical line, syllables unaccented in ordinary speech can be nudged by the meter to slightly greater prominence, and accented syllables can be nudged to slightly lesser prominence. The key words there are "nudged" and "slightly," but they make a big difference in the music of the line.
In free verse, all bets are off. Some poets pause at the ends of their lines; some don't. Some chant their verses; some speak plainly. Some acknowledge white space; some don't. Some deliberately make oral
performance of their poems nearly impossible.
And that's actually the reason I choose to write in meter — I want to have at least a fighting chance of getting a reader to hear a poem the way I mean it to sound, to write so as to have the best chance of conveying the music I intended to put in the poem, and with free verse, unless the reader has heard the author read a particular poem, the odds ain't good.
That is not a denigration of free verse. It just means that what I want to accomplish is unlikely to happen using free verse. The spoken performance of a free verse poem is underdetermined in comparison to that of a well-made metrical poem. Again, that is not a value judgement – it just means there will be more variance in a set of performances of a given free verse poem than in a set of performances of a given metrical poem. Of course there are variations even in my readings of my own poems, some of which depend on my mood, some on the reaction of any audience, some on the nature of the audience. I sometimes change words on the fly. It's not the fact, but the degree of variance that matters to me.
Take a look at this poem in today's Slate, by Lucas Howell, and then listen to him read it.
[ For those who don't want navigate, here are the first few lines:
Out of the broad, open land they come.
Out of a coal seam's
hundred-thousand tons of overburden,
out of shit-reek barns
and shearing pens,
or down from the powder blue
derrick platforms of howling Cyclone rigs
they rung by rung descend.
In his reading, there's absolutely no audible indication of any break where there is no punctuation – no pause at all, for instance, between "seam's" and "hundred-thousand tons."]
Now I like this poem, especially when I hear him read it. But suppose I didn't have that recording. How would I know that such visual violence should be completely undetectable in performance? Looking at that poem, a reasonable performer might very well try to respect the author's intention by respecting the author's layout of the poem.
This is a pretty extreme example, but it applies to almost all free verse – consider Sharon Olds' tick of breaking lines after a definite article. That's not in her performances. And then Jorie Graham, who does expect layout to affect performance.
Certainly people unfamiliar with the metrical tradition may bend metrical verse as they read aloud (mostly by banging on the beats and the rhymes), but the printed poem is not going to be so different from the spoken one as it is above.
See? I'm a control freak.

"Such beauty as hurts to behold …"
The Wikipedia entry for Paul Goodman quotes from what, depending on mood and weather and the usually dreadful news, is sometimes — no — what is often my favorite poem:
How well they flew together side by side
the Stars and Stripes my red and white and blue
and my Black Flag the sovereignty of no
man or law! They were the flags of pride
and nature and advanced with equal stride
across the age when Jefferson long ago
saluted both and said, "Let Shays' men go.
If you discourage mutiny and riot
what check is there on government?"
The gaudy flag is very grand on earth
and they have sewed on it a golden border,
but I will not salute it. At our rally
I see a small black rag of little worth
and touch it wistfully. Chaos is Order.
Just look at that thing! Everything about it is wrong! It's a damned sonnet with an explicit moral message; the sentences meander as if they'd pushed around by the exigencies of rhyme and meter — except that "blue" is rhymed with "go" and "ago," "side" with "riot," and "Today" with "rally," so clearly the poet didn't much mind an off-rhyme, and besides, nearly every line is enjambed, and all but 2 commas are missing: the first introducing Jefferson's statement ending at the turn, which happens two syllables from the end of line 9 and is marked with a carriage return and lloonngg indentation (exact and careful work, a Petrarchan sonnet written by an anarchist), the second emphasizing that Goodman, unlike Jefferson, will not today salute both flags.
But, oh, how he longs to! Poem after poem laments his alienation from a country and people he cannot help but love. One poem salutes the constitution — provided it is interpreted by Hugo Black; another celebrates how our spacemen on the moon look just as we imagined them; here's the sestet from another sonnet, "The Americans Resume Bomb-Testing, April 1962":
"Resign! Resign!" the word rings in my soul
—is it for me? or shall I make a sign
and picket the White House blindly in the rain,
or hold it up on Madison Avenue
a silent vigil, or trudge to and fro
gloomily in front of the public school?
(6 months earlier, the Russians had resumed testing first. That poem begins "My poisoned one, my world!")
The personal is political, we used to say, and for Goodman it really was, or at least his passion was equal for both, and he did not keep them separate. "Easter 1968" begins "When young proclaim Make Love Not War / I back them up, I back them up, / and some are brave as they can be. / But they don't make love to me." Again, the metrical/syntactic oddity: "When young proclaim" seems as if "the" was left out because the meter wanted it out, but the last line of the quatrain, the first that rhymes (!), abandons the regular tetrameter of the first three. The effect is quite startling, and the meter never reappears in the last two quatrains, which details how one particular young man disappointed him.
Goodman was openly bisexual (this was when even gay folk didn't like bi folk), and his poems are frequently explicit, and often funny:
The dark armpits of my unwashed
honey taste acrid but her crotch
musky and delicious with
its primrose of the field
where in summer cows browse
in the hollow and bees buzz.
Her tiny lice, seen up close,
wildly wave their legs like spikes
of alfalfa in the gale.
Leaping my shadow and Prick my dog
I took to walk the park
the streets the bars the wooden dock
all a hot afternoon.
My shadow had a lively run
and stretched out long he came back home,
but Prick had never a sniff or jump
the twenty-first of June.
He was always, even in despair, in love with the world. The title of this post is the first line of a poem marked "(MANNER OF SAPPHO)," which ends
This lust that blooms like red the rose
is none of mine but as a song
is given to its author knows
not the next verse yet sings along.
You ask what I am muttering
stupefied, it is a prayer
of thanks that there is such a thing
as you in the world there.
I've often written about Goodman, starting way back in 1995, on UseNet. Many of his political books, his work on Gestalt Therapy and his general social commentary are still in print, but only a single ($99!) copy of his poems appears to be available. That is a great pity.

Free Verse Is Not Easy, Either
I started to write this in reply to a comment, but it's important enough that it should be in a post.
I meant it when I said the problem of a lack of working language to describe competence in free verse was greater for poets than for readers. It may be easier to bullshit your way through a poem in free verse than in meter because until you get the hang of meter it can really push you around. But writing a good poem, or god help you, a book of good poems in free verse seems to me to be much harder than it would be in meter, because you don't have a partner to dance with. I have nothing but admiration — maybe a little wonder and envy — for poets like Denise Levertov, or Robert Creeley, or Stanley Kunitz, or Franz Wright, or Ted Kooser, or Louise Glück, or a dozen others who consistently produced very good poems without the aid of meter or rhyme.
Great poems — well, they're a mystery however you work.

Simple Competence
Zapruder was right about one thing: we don't have a good vocabulary for talking about the choices most recent and contemporary poets make in getting from one line or one word to the next. The thing is, it's a problem, not for readers, but for folks trying to learn to make poems.
It may be true that some study of technique enriches the experience of an art for a member of its audience, but most people I know have had the experience of falling head over heels in love with some new piece of music, some sculpture, some novel, and partly for its strangeness. Nobody I've ever heard of has ever just sat down, with no preparation, and made a significant work of art. Jazz players have to know harmony and modes in their bones; the difference between first and second chair in a major orchestra is several thousand hours of practice; orchestration requires years of difficult study; painters — well, painters, even Picasso, before we learned to love abstract art — painters spend long days all their lives drawing obsessively, studying the lines of their teachers and predecessors. The Beatles played 1200 live shows before their first hit song.
What on earth, besides cultural studies, do all those thousands of MFA students in poetry study?
That's unfair, I know. But just what is the vocabulary we can use to discuss competence in making, say, line breaks in non-metrical poetry?
It's not hard to define a competent English-language sonneteer — such a person can consistently manage pentameter and rhyme so as to present something coherent and interesting within the constraints of the form without doing violence to the patterns and rhythms of speech.
There's nothing at all mysterious in that definition, nothing that itself cannot be clearly defined, except perhaps "interesting." It's a fairly low bar, I believe at about the same level intended by such faint praise as "competent landscape painter," and subject to the same sneers from the School of Phlogiston and whatever is its equivalent in the visual arts. Still, it is something. Here's J. V. Cunningham's magnificent answer to those sneers:
For My Contemporaries
How time reverses
The proud in heart!
I now make verses
Who aimed at art.
But I sleep well.
Ambitious boys
Whose big lines swell
With spiritual noise,
Despise me not!
And be not queasy
To praise somewhat:
Verse is not easy.
But rage who will.
Time that procured me
Good sense and skill
Of madness cured me.

From an excerpt of Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop, by Adam Bradley:
Part of the synergy of beats and rhymes is that they protect each other from their own potential excesses. Beats without voices soon become monotonous. Rhymes in isolation expose the frailty of the human voice and the fallibility of the rapper's vocal rhythms. Together, however, beats and rhymes find strength: the voice gives the beat humanity and variety; the beat gives the rhyme a reason for being and a margin for error. This essential relationship is rap's greatest contribution to the rhythm of poetry: the dual rhythmic relationship.
Of course I'm not the first to have done so, and Bradley himself quotes Paul Fussell, but that's what I've been saying about metrical poetry for years! The meter — the beat — dancing with the rhythms of speech pointed by rhyme. That's where the magic is. As Bradley quotes RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, "we hear two and sometimes many more rhythms layered on top of one another. The central rhythmic relationship, though, is always between the beat and the voice."
I've ordered the book.

I've Got To Read Martin Earl
His post at Harriet and Annie Finch's response are powerful evocations of the power of poetic form to create an awareness of other voices, other minds, of another human being embodied in language. "A man speaking to other men" said Wordsworth long ago, and we can forgive him his ignorance of social theory.
Earl invokes António Damásio's concept of the "embodied mind," and this is precisely correct, and also the reason for my one disagreement (happily addressed by Annie Finch) with his essay. His penultimate paragraph:
Seen in the light of cognitive neuroscience it is easier, and less emotionally fraught, to begin to understand why poetry, and by extension, literature and erudite culture in general, is already well along the road to extinction. It is a question of stimulus; the world is changing how we feel about the world, and the aesthetic products which derive from the need to articulate those feelings are changing as a consequence. Since poetry is now written largely without rules (or written with self-invented rules), since the common craft of metrics, rhyming, quantifying are no longer taught, largely dispensed with by the community, the result is a less universal and a more personal poem, a poem that can no longer be "read", except by the writer and the writer's closest cohorts – those who know the language. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with this. There is simply no need in today's world to write or to read epics composed in ottava rima which tell the life-stories of unlikely heroes.
The lack of "rules" he cites does indeed lead to the result he says it does, but there is something intrinsically wrong with that. I'm not saying there is something wrong with private poetry, or poetry only for one's "closest cohorts," but if that is all there is, then too much is lost. And Earl knows this:
Just to hold these books [an 1824 collection of Byron] in my hands delights my whole nervous system and, at times, there seems nothing more perfect in English than Byron's making the Italian ottava rima his own.

The Astros have a crappy team and a new owner. That combination might be perfectly suited for a Roger Clemens comeback as Astros owner Jim Crane told Mark Berman of My Fox Houston that the team is open to such a move.
"If it goes alright and he comes to us, we'll talk to baseball about it at length," Crane said.
It seems like a publicity stunt for the Astros, who will move to the American League next year, even if Crane denied that. For Clemens though, it could be something more – a way to push his Hall of Fame ballot back five years.
The reason Clemens would want to do that would be to avoid all the old crusty Hall voters who are trying to make up for their own blindness during the steroid era by making sure nobody gets elected to the Hall of Fame. In five years the electorate will look very different and may be much more open to giving The Rocket a fair chance.
Clemens, who is 50-years-old, last pitched in 2007 and since has been accused of using anabolic steroids and cleared through due process in court of potentially lying about it.

Bible Translation as Contextualization:
The Role of Oral Performance in New Testament and African Contexts
A Précis by James Maxey, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago
What are the goals for Bible translation? Evangelism? Church Growth? It seems to methat historically and currently Bible translation cannot be limited to these two goals or paradigmsof Bible translation. As I returned to Academia in America I began to seek for myself analternative paradigm. Although such research was initiated for my own reasons, I soon began tosee how many in America view Bible translation in a limited way. Many individuals, churches,and organizations understand Bible translation activities in Africa, South America, Asia, and theSouth Pacific to be an instrument of evangelization with the goal of conversion to Christianity.Others view Bible translation as a benevolent means to help out churches outside of NorthAmerica and Europe to grow in the Christian faith. Another set of Americans (and Europeans) find Bible translation to be an embarrassing activity left over from an earlier era. My problem was that I was not satisfied with only these views of Bible translation. I needed an alternative; I saw that missiology needed another understanding of Bible translation. This dissertation pursuessuch an alternative paradigm for Bible translation.

I clearly remember the day I realized I was "not like other girls". I've mentioned this before, so excuse me if you've read this in my past writings, but it bears repeating because it was an early epiphany that has bred many more as the years roll by: I was four years old and playing with a girl who was both my classmate and neighbor. She insisted on playing house, and I wanted to do anything else. I finally acquiesced as long as I could be the "daddy" and not touch the "baby". I decided that sweeping the floor would be my one "household" chore and then got yelled at by my "wife" for being bad at it.
I knew, in that moment and to the very bottom of my being, I never wanted to touch a real baby or keep a house or, really, be a girl at all. I didn't like girls very much. Why would I want to be one?
The weird thing is, my nuclear family didn't live by these stereotypes at all. My father and a daytime nanny were my primary caregivers, my mother was more the semi-absent disciplinarian because she worked longer hours and always had more of a commute. My mother was feminine but tougher than any man I've ever known. My dad is a "manly man" in many ways, but also one of the most nurturing and caring people I've had the pleasure to meet, let alone be raised by. They set a great example of how grey an area gender roles can, and should, be. Raising me was an act of balancing their talents and schedules, regardless of whether society thought those talents should belong to the person who had them.
I don't know where I got the idea that gender roles were even, well, a thing. Maybe I watched a few too many Leave it to Beaver reruns, maybe it was due to attending Catholic Mass (and, later, elementary school), or perhaps it was that every so often another kid's mother would express shock that my mother was rarely the one to go to school events or pick me up from someone's house. I was often the only kid represented or accommodated by a father, which I didn't realize was weird until other adults pointed that out, repeatedly.
Or maybe it was simply that most of the girls I met were more into playing with dolls than with baseballs, and pretending to be mothers instead of playing characters from Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. Every year, when my birthday rolled around, I could instantly tell who knew me or didn't by whether they bought me dolls. I had hundreds of the things, mostly languishing in my toy closet waiting until they were old enough that we could donate them without insulting the giver, while my room was strewn with Legos, video game cartridges, sports gear, model and stuffed animals, and pieces from board games.
Ahhh, video game cartridges. Remember those?
In 1982, home gaming was still a pretty novel phenomenon and it was an amazing tool for destroying the gender divide, at least in my neighborhood. That Christmas I received my own TV and a ColecoVision. Games were expensive, even for us kids in an upper-middle-class NJ town, so we basically set up a network of buying different games and sharing them between us. Practically everyone had an Atari except for me, but I had the ColecoVision Atari attachment, so it worked. After school we'd take turns going to each other's houses to play together, boys and girls alike, competing on truly equal footing at last, enjoying both the games and each other.
What happened between then and now? When did gaming become a divided world? According to the Entertainment Software Association, "Women age 18 or older represent a significantly greater portion of the game-playing population (36%) than boys age 18 or younger (17%)," yet the overwhelming perception is that this is another activity that separates the genders.
This benefits no one. Boys and girls are not that inherently different, neither are men and women. Perception is the problem, and everyone is harmed when we allow illusions to be substituted for reality.
Looking back, while I clearly remember "not liking girls", many of my most precious memories were filled with girls. Those gaming sessions? Always at least half-female. Our neighborhood pickup games? Plenty of girls played in them, some regularly outperformed the boys, and my town had robust leagues for girls when we were old enough for them. My best friend was a girl who was four years older than me, and she loved fantasy novels and the Yankees and Led Zeppelin, too. I found another few girls in my class and neighborhood who preferred my styles of play.
I liked those girls because they were "not like other girls". They were "like boys".
That attitude persisted as I became a teen and adult. I found myself drawn to male-dominated careers and social circles, not despite the male-domination, but because of it. I rejoiced in being the only woman on the road with a group of men, men who complimented me on my "masculinity" and ability to fit right in with them. "You're like a guy, but a guy who just happens to look like a hot chick. Best of both worlds!" That was an actual compliment I received, and I was very proud of it at the time, so proud that I memorized it, word-for-word.
But, here's the thing: I'm not a guy. I wasn't born into the wrong body, as some people truly are. I'm not even part-guy, really. I'm 100% woman.
And I was sexist. I was contributing to the very same problems that plagued my own experiences.
I feel terrible about all the times I put people (boys, girls, men, women) down by calling them "girly". I can't stand the idea that I participated in the objectification of talented women. I am aghast at how thrilled I was to be the only woman working in various companies and for various bands, because it kept me from having to deal with "feminine discussions" about gossip and superficial things.
As if discussing the latest video game or album for hours isn't pretty superficial.
No matter how independently we may think, we are all susceptible to every little idea that swirls around us in society. Unless you actively fight the barrage, it's easy to let these ideas plant their seeds in our brains.
These days, I'm sometimes accused of being a "man-hater" due to standing up on women's issues. There could be nothing further from the truth, you could even say I venerated men a bit too much.
The qualities that make me like an individual are not masculine or feminine, as much as society would have me believe they are. I admire people who are curious, rational thinkers and still find delight in the beauty of sciences, philosophy, athletics, and arts alike. I like people who are both confident and flexible, humble enough to learn from others yet strong enough to stand up and teach what they know.
That is the kind of person I would like to be. I'm working on that. The best way to become who you would like to be is surround yourself with people who fit that description, and I'm incredibly grateful that my life is now full of them.
They come in all shapes, sizes, skin tones, gender orientations, sexual orientations, and from all sorts of backgrounds. Some are very social, others are not. All are flawed. All have reasons they are who they are, and many of those journeys have been far more difficult than my own.
The key to making the world a better place for everyone is a combination of speaking up and listening hard. These days, everyone is so busy trying to scream over each other that it's easy to wonder if anyone is listening at all. Read the comments section on almost any internet post that has at least a few dozen of them and just count how many of those look like they belong on a different piece, often to the point of accusing the author of writing the opposite of what is actually on the page.
We can all do better.
There has never been a moment in my life when I wasn't a feminist or held any doubts that women could excel at anything they tried, but I've sure had to work hard on breaking down my prejudices towards women socially. Considering my background, if I've had to work at that, how about people who were raised in more traditional families, or more homogeneous communities?
Sexism is deeply entrenched in most cultures, but that is not an excuse to get defensive or make excuses if you find you have acted or spoken in a sexist manner (the same applies to any form of othering, as well). We might be a sum of our pasts, but we are not beholden to them. Change is good, evolution is good. We can change our own minds. We can work to effect change in others and society at large. It just takes a little work and a lot of humility.
You could stick dozens of labels on every person I have met in life, and not one of those labels would encompass who that person is. Even put together, they still don't encompass the whole person! Each person within any group has something that sets them apart from the group as well.
Assumptions are the largest blocks to finding people who are worth knowing. I have stopped assuming that a woman will have nothing in common with me, because I know now that's a ridiculous notion, there are not only plenty of women who share my interests, but I can usually find at least one mutually interesting topic to share with anyone, even if we don't have much in common at all.
I do not fit a stereotype – why should anyone else?

Pizza is a favorite food for many of us. But what if you're on a diet or trying to improve your eating habits? Is pizza healthy? A few simple tips can help you order a lower calorie pizza and keep your fat and calorie count in check.

Pizza Calories and Nutrition

Cheese Pizza Nutrition Facts

Per Serving	% Daily Value*

Calories 168

Calories from Fat 54

Vitamin A 5% · Vitamin C 1%

Calcium 7% · Iron 2%

*Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

Pizza calories and nutrition can vary substantially based on the toppings, the cooking method, the crust and the size of the pizza slice. A small slice of cheese pizza (indicated on the label) provides only 168 calories. But a slice of cheese pizza from many popular pizza chains is much larger (100 grams or more) and is more likely to provide 250 calories or more. A single 10-ounce slice of Costco pepperoni pizza provides over 600 calories, according to several sources.

So what's the easiest way to cut calories from pizza? Simply asking for half cheese will save you around 50 calories per slice and will reduce your saturated fat intake by about a third. You will probably be pleasantly surprised at how much cheese is still left on your pizza after cutting it by half.

If you don't want to cut your cheese by half, you can request part-skim cheese instead of whole-fat cheese. Some pizzerias may even be able to substitute Feta instead of regular cheese. Feta is lower in calories, providing about 50 calories per 1/8 cup serving.

For the lowest calorie pizza choices, go cheese-free. Order no cheese on your pizza and then dust each slice lightly with grated Parmesan. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top to add extra zip if you need it.

The Worst Pizza for Your Diet

Pizza that is loaded with meat will not only add calories, but it will increase your intake of saturated fat. For this reason, a pizza loaded with processed meats will the worst pizza for your diet.

For the sake of counting calories, assume that each type of meat that you add to your pizza adds about 40 calories per slice. Of course, that number can vary if your pizza chef is heavy handed and adds a lot of sausage or pepperoni. The number can also vary according to the size of your serving. But if exact nutrition information isn't readily available, it's a good estimate.

When you calculate the calories in pepperoni pizza, add 130 calories per ounce of meat added. A typical slice of sausage or pepperoni pizza contains between 200 and 250 calories. For a lower calorie alternative, try chorizo—a spicy Mexican smoked sausage variety—which will save about 20 calories per serving while still providing that smoky hot flavor you crave. Or try Canadian bacon for about 80 calories per ounce.

Other alternatives include extra lean ground beef or ground turkey breast. And grilled or roasted chicken is another delicious and diet-friendly topping.

If you can't order a leaner meat, you can still cut calories from your pepperoni or sausage pizza. Use an absorbent paper towel or several paper napkins to soak up some of the grease from your slice. You can save 15 to 25 calories per serving.

The Lowest Calorie Pizza

Your lowest calorie pizza choice will almost always be a vegetarian pizza. Most veggie pizza provide 200 calories or less. Vegetables provide flavor with very few calories.

Choosing veggie toppings like green peppers, tomatoes, and onions will also add diet-friendly fiber and antioxidants while cutting calories. You might even try spinach or even broccoli for a change. After a while, you may find in time you prefer veggies on your pizza instead of meat toppings.

Healthy Ways to Prepare Pizza

At home or in a restaurant, use these additional tips to eat the lowest calorie pizza:

Order thin crust pizza to save calories. For instance, deep dish crust contains about 100 calories more per slice than thin crust.

Replace regular crust with a whole-wheat crust to get nearly 20 percent of your fiber needs for the day.

Avoid dipping sauce like garlic butter or ranch to save hundreds of calories (especially if you double or triple dip your slices). They're just not worth the extra calories.

Skip the breadsticks when you order pizza. Indulging in just one breadstick will add about 200 calories to your meal.

White pizza can be higher in calories than traditional pizza because pesto or olive oil is used in place of low-calorie tomato sauce. With just one vegetable topping, a typical slice of white pizza provides close to 300 calories.

Use a non-stick pan. If you bake your own pizza at home, you can cut hundreds of calories if you skip the oil when you bake. A standard non-stick pan works well. There are also brands like T-fal that make perforated round copper color pans just for pizza. The perforation helps air circulate so the crust heats evenly, and the surface reduces the need for oil and makes cleanup easier.

Lastly, pay a visit to a locally owned pizzeria. A small restaurant may offer a greater variety of healthy toppings than chain restaurants. Options might include grilled shrimp, green peas, asparagus spears, artichoke hearts, black beans, corn, spicy fajita chicken, lemon grilled chicken or fresh minced garlic.

Pizza Recipes

If you like to cook, consider making pizza at home. Cut some of that fat and calories from pizza to make a more diet friendly meal.

Spend Less By Changing Your Vehicles Air Filter And Wiper Blades Yourself
Plenty of people visit the nearest oil change garage and follow their recommendations when it comes to replacing their air filters and wiper blades. The issue with this is that you are wasting money by using their service. This article will show you how you can save money by replacing these materials yourself.
For one thing, did you realize that the standard manufacturer recommendation is that you change your air filter every 20,000 miles? This can be all your car needs in most circumstances. Certainly, if right after 20,000 miles your air filter is still practically clean there is no reason to change it. Nevertheless, if you have your oil changed at an oil change facility, they typically recommend that you replace your air filter at every other oil change. The only reason that this is their recommendation is because this is how they make money. What's astounding is that some places charge in excess of $50 to replace a filter that basically costs $10.
Replacing your own air filter will not only save some money but it will also help you from being conned by these big chains. Take a drive to your nearby auto parts store where you can purchase an air filter for less than $10. At some stores, they may actually help you to swap the air filter. However, the practice of replacing an air filter is really simple as all you usually have to do is release the clamps or wing nuts that are holding the cover in place. Then, you simply take out that old filter and replace it with a new one. So rather than pay an oil change garage $240 every couple of years to replace your air filter, you can spend a mere $10 to $20 every two years by doing it yourself.
Switching your windshield wipers will work the same way. It makes absolutely no sense to pay a service center $40 for a pair of wiper blades when you can purchase them yourself for less than $10. And renewing your wiper blades is no more complicated than changing the air filter on your vehicle. In case you didn't already know, you will almost certainly get the job done more rapidly if you replace the entire wiper blade unit and not just the blade. Consequently, try to buy the whole unit when you shop for blades. Most wiper blades can be simply replaced by utilizing a little screwdriver. With wiper blades, you should automatically know when to replace them since they will no longer work properly. The people at these oil change places don't know how your blades are performing they just go by what their computer tells them. Therefore, if they have never replaced your wiper blades, they will continue to suggest that you buy new ones from them.
These are just some ways that you can save money on car maintenance by doing the job yourself. You might possibly even want to consider learning the best way to change your own oil. It is a little more difficult, however, you will finally end up saving even more money.

What do you think about a federal judge's ruling against street paper The Contributor and its distribution methods in Brentwood?
Brings tears to my eyes loner. Just like a Hominid on a Mud Ball. Gets me every time.
This should make one laugh:
WOW! I'm fascinated, yucchhii. You call BenDover a dumb user's name for a "stupid" individual. So... what do you call your yucchhii user's name? An idiotic individual identity name, perhaps?
And by the way, what did you mean when you criticized BenDover by posting "Before you say another word, THINK anout it..."
Did you, perchance, mean think ABOUT it?
Ben, you remember, "Hominid On A Mudball"? I am impressed.
I performed that as a hymn, in our UU church. I don't always go to church...
Headline: "Troll Gets New PC - Attacks Bath Salts Yuchi"
I just love this site.
BS to you, bfra, are facts to me. I guess we see things differently. I don't feel like I need to protest everything you and your fellow posters post. If I question you on an argument, I'll answer that question to my satisfaction.
If you question my argument, I can't give you any answers because you wouldn't be willing to accept them. I've tried that before. You just ignore it and call me a liar. So look it up for yourself.
Hell, if you know how to operate this machine so much better than I, it should be simple for you. That is, if you're as smart as you seem to think you are.
Note: Yogi's 4:34 post did NOT use the word, "usurper" nor did he disparage the POTUS....is there hope for change?
Same deal on his 4:46 post.
He just ran out of surp Loner, he has more in the corn crib..
With this nation being so declined as it is today, govskeptic, couldn't those neighborhood door to door rights give someone the thoughts about breaking and entering, or even a robbery when you open the door?
No, Mike,
If your man gets his way you won't have a gun in your outhouse, even at night.
That's a credible theory, Slack.
Now, for those who enjoy a good snuff film, here is a link to a WSJ site that features an IDF video of Mister Jabari's car and its occupants being obliterated...of course, the WSJ has a short ad preceding the grisly, but fascinating footage.
BTW, there were at least 3 people in the doomed vehicle. Who needs a criminal justice system when a Hellfire missile up the tailpipe is so much more efficient? Screw the collateral damage.
The Israelis are bragging about this assassination....If the Mossad decides to take out the POTUS, they will be less inclined to brag about it.
My "it" is my new "cumputer", Loner. I bought me a laptop so I could take it in the bathroom with me when I "have to go" and don't want to miss an "argument" with you kids.
What you had "better learn" is what the usurper in office is planning to do with this nation. And I guarantee you, it ain't good.
Uhhh...that's too much info, Yogi...but I should caution you to wash your hands after wiping.... sanitize before typing.
If you fail to do so, your lap-top will soon become a crap-top. But using a computer to relieve constipation is better than using a pencil to work it out. Good luck, Yogi.
Yogi reverted to his old ways @ 5:18...no hope for the dope....nope....nada.
Signing off now...tuning in the Network News....the new Israeli offensive against the Arabs holed up in Gaza should be the top story.
Loner out.
Naw, slacker, I've got 4 new full bottles back in my pantry and they're easy to open and pour out on my flap cakes.
yogi your daddy ain't who you think.
geezzz nemo... lol
Uhhh..if Yogi is in his 80's, then his daddy is unavailable for comment, one would assume....getting dirt on those under the dirt is no fun....and no fair.
"Flap cakes"? There was a buxom chick back in high school with that nickname....a cheerleader.....but often under center, after the game.
Point taken lone one. Y'all have a great night.

Troops returning from Iraq are calling attention to the fact that sandbags — a key requirement of military life — are being shipped in to US military bases in Iraq from Kuwait and other countries. This means transporting sand in convoys across the country.
This expensive and inefficient practice is the result of US failure to provide enough armored vehicles to our troops during the deadliest years of the conflict, when roadside bombs were killing and wounding thousands of soldiers. Lacking armored humvees, US troops fortified their vehicles with sandbags on the route from Kuwait into Iraq. The sandbags were clearly inferior to steel, and the bags themselves deteriorated quickly due to the climate — but one result was that Kuwait developed a thriving cottage industry in stuffing sandbags. Today, US and Iraqi contractors and subcontractors based in Kuwait continue to be major suppliers of sandbags to US forces stationed in Iraq. That is, contractors import the bags into Kuwait, shovel in the sand, tie the bags, and load them onto trucks (driven by more contractors) headed for Iraq.
The actual polypropylene BAGS (as opposed to the sand) are manufactured outside the region completely. Back in 2004, the Defense Logistics Agency awarded noncompetitive contracts for sandbags to five US firms: CHK Manufacturing Co. Inc, La Pac Manufacturing Inc., Ampack LLC, Dayton Bag & Burlap Co, and Total Industrial & Packaging Corporation. Later that year, DLA cancelled the award to Total because the sandbags being produced at its facilities in Texas and Puerto Rico did not meet requirements. (Total protested the decision, but it was upheld by a decision by the GAO. See GAO B-295434, February 22, 2005).
