Inside The BPP
BPP Picture Show: Rap Battle
Here's the thing about freestyle rapping: It's very difficult. That said, there are very few pleasures as potent as the one experienced when turning a well-crafted rhyme "off the dome." Sadly for me, it happens barely once or twice a year, and it's usually in front of my small group of just-barely-tolerant, but nonetheless seated on my couch, eating my Doritos, and thus completely captivated, friends. In those moments, my mouth is on autopilot and it can form rhymes like "One thing life taught me/ was to speak softly when/ havin' coffee with a Jabberwocky." OK — that only happened once. Usually, it's more like: "What? What? I'm relevant, I like elephants, I eat halibut." You get the idea.
Anyway, a couple of Fridays ago, I was working in my office when (Producer) Ian (Chillag) popped his head in and asked me if we wanted to do a video on the rapper that was coming into the studio. Swamped but clearly momentarily deranged, I replied (half-jokingly) "No, but I'll battle that guy." Ian, being the broadcasting genius he is, replied: "Awesome. I'll set it up." In retrospect, what he probably meant was, "Awesome, You are a sucker."
What I didn't understand was that the guy I was to go lyrically toe-to-toe with was none other than the MC/artist/poet/social critic and all-around nice guy, Doseone aka Adam Drucker, from the group Subtle. Doseone is a very accomplished freestyler and a brilliant wordsmith who reportedly battled Eminem and won. Drucker put me in my place in a big way, and here's the proof:

Win! You're going to hurt somebody with those arms.
You sure do have some cute producers over there. Gutsy too, it seems!
HOLY S***! its doseone from anticon. i used to get high and listen to his records. now i just get high. maybe i will steal some of his new stuff off the internet.
uhhhh. what's with the creepy BPP producer groupies?
Win, you got served, but you got nerve.
Dose is my homie from Ohio. Gotta laugh when I hear you call him a genius. I remember him walking the halls of our high school with some big ass headphones on sagging his jeans. He's all wearing white framed glasses now - awesome. Good work Adam - keep going. (He is a rather smart human.)
Oh ho ho! What's this?! A freestyle battle on BPP? Maybe they thought it was necessary? I will not argue, I will agree. And add my two cents, I shall proceed. Never heard of this dude named Doseone. But his rhymes were slick, clever, and fun. Metaphors pounded like a lion to dead meat. And wait, was that also tribute to Red Heat? Almost made me hop out of my seat. Thinkin that precision from hip-hop was gone, but we bring it back and persevere like Daniel-san.
I actually am sweating the hot producers nerdcore flow!

Rumour: Ubisoft teasing new Prince of Persia for E3
A GAF thread is carrying three images of what appears to be from a trailer for E3, with initial suggestions sounding like it's tied to a new Prince of Persia game.
The post has three shots are shown from what appears to be a video of whatever it is: one with the Ubisoft logo, the other featuring a man walking in what looks like a Middle Eastern setting and the other showing the tagline, "Judgement is coming".
If it is indeed PoP-related, it'll be the first title in the series since 2010's The Forgotten Sands. Fans hoping for a sequel to the 2008 re-imagining of the series might be disappointed.
Ubisoft's press conference takes place on Monday night at 11pm BST (3pm PST/6pm EST/12am CET on Tuesday).

"60 Minutes" Gets Emmy for Sloppy Emmett Till Story
The fact checkers for the Emmys are clearly not earning their pay. Had they been doing their job, they might have thought twice before allowing "60 Minutes" to get an Emmy for the report on the "The Murder of Emmett Till" under the category of best "continuing story in a newsmagazine." As we pointed out last year, this segment, hosted by Ed Bradley, contained egregious factual errors and spectacularly slanted reporting.
Most notably, "60 Minutes" ignored exculpatory evidence that contradicted the tidy open and shut case it tried to present against a black man accused of participation in the crime. Were the producers of the Emmys aware of these problems before they gave this award? Did they care? Apparently not.

Families that decided to get another year's use out of backpacks and laptops during last summer's back-to-school shopping season are ready to reopen their wallets, according to a National Retail Federation survey released Thursday.
An average family with children in the elementary to high school range will spend about $673.57 on back-to-school items including clothing, electronics and other supplies, up nearly 7 percent from last fall.
Total back-to-school spending is expected to hit $27.3 billion this year. Add in school-related spending by families with college students, and the figure rises to $75.8 billion, up from $68 billion the year before.

Clinton is allowed to change her mind
Published: Tuesday, July 3, 2007 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 2, 2007 at 11:20 p.m.
Dear Editor: On Fridays editorial page, Helen Thomas takes Hilary Clinton to task for her changing votes on the Iraq war. Thomas feels that a principled person would stick to her guns, or at least admit a mistake. But what Thomas seems to mean is not principle itself, but a strict adherence to principles so inflexible as to admit no change. It is, after all, men of unvarying principle who have extended the Iraq war past all rationality; who have adhered to market principles so rigorously that they must deny humanitys role in climate change in the face of overwhelming evidence; and whose zealotry has caused them even to downplay the atrocities at Abu Ghraib. Frankly, this country could use a little less principle and a little more pragmatism. Maybe Mrs. Clinton does not feel that either her old or her new positions on the war were mistakes, but simply outcomes of changing conditions. A love of country and a desire for national security both admirable principles could well lead to a vote to send troops one year and to bring them home the next; why not? Abraham Lincoln knew that there is a time for war and a time for peace. So did Dwight Eisenhower. The concept seems to have escaped George Bush.
To assume that a rational and consistent philosophy will always lead to identical positions is as silly as supposing that every wave washed up by the same ocean will have the same shape.

Prepare to be underwhelmed this thing is very weak!
By Disappointed Patrick
from Chicago, Illinois
I wanted something stylish for our recently redesigned bedroom. This had the look and from the name I expected it to have the power. I was sadly disappointed. From the description of the product you would think you can circulate the air around a bedroom even if placed in the far corner. Even on the highest power if not within 2 to 3 feet of our bed you can ask barely feel the air moving. What is the point of having three settings if there is very little difference between setting 1 and 2. The $30 fines that are in my kids rooms produce way more power than this fan. Yes style is important, but function and utility are the most important element. It is ridiculous that at this price the fan should be this weak. Very sad. Listen to the reviews that warn of lack of power.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Fan circulates less air than fans a fraction of it's price
By Disappointed
from Dallas, TX
The fan barely moves any air. To call this a whole room circulator is completely dishonest. An ordinary 20 dollar fan can easily out perform this product. The breeze generated from this fan extends 4 or 5 feet at best and completely diminishes after that. The fan at the two lowest settings generates just enough wind to blow out a match. While it has a nice retro look and appears solidly constructed, it is totally impractical if you want to use it other than as a low powered desk fan.

Finally a high quality all Steel constructed Classic fan!!
By Larry the Product man
from Edmonton, AB
I love this very high quality and retro looking fan. It has three speeds and puts out for a small fan. I will likely last 40 years! No more plastic fan that is cheap and ends up in the landfill, This is a 'lifetime' fan. Only has a 5 year warranty, but it will last, and look great too!
By Alanna
from San Francisco, CA
This fan is powerful, quiet, and cute; everything I was looking for! It helps cool down the house during the day and on particularly warm nights I'll put it on low in the bedroom where the white noise is also appreciated. I like that it's small enough to put on a table or kitchen counter and to move it easily from room to room. The chrome finish works well with our minimalist decor, and it always draws appreciative comments from guests. My husband finds it a little loud for his taste when on the highest setting but the sound doesn't bother me. Thanks, Vornado, for making the fan of my dreams!
I have three
By Hilly
from michigan
I have three and will by more , I like the QUIET running ones. All of the fans move all the air in the room without blowing you away .
Vornado Fan
By emako
from California
This fan works great for small rooms like bedrooms or bathrooms. We have it about 10 feet from the bed and can feel it even on the lowest setting. It is also very quiet which is nice. I would definitely recommend this fan.
Quality item, for the most part
By zeph
from Salt Lake City, UT
This fan has a very solid and substantial feel to it. There is nothing flimsy about it. I have it on a table directed toward my living room and I can feel it up to about ten feet away. I need to move it around to find the best location. It did come with a couple of small surface scratches on the gray housing around the fan motor. They're only cosmetic, but this probably shouldn't have passed final inspection.

Fan letter for a fan
By Deborah
from Berkeley, CA
When I saw this fan, it blew me away. The color isn't accurately captured on this website; in reality it's a deeper mossy color, a color that takes retro a step further. Sitting in the store where I found it, no object could look more out of place. This fan belongs in an Iowa farmhouse, or in a Vermont country store. I'd have bought it even if it didn't work, because of its iconic looks and workmanship. It truly belongs in the Museum of Modern Art for its flawless industrial design. But enough about appearances. It's a powerful fan that pivots to any position. It's a perfect size to fit into my small cottage and yet deliver airflow I'd expect from something 3 times its size. It sounds like an old school fan, a great white noise. And although I haven't cleaned it yet, it appears to have been thoughtfully designed to maximize cleaning the blades and inner body.This fan is a home run and a true breath of fresh air. Or, more accurately, a most welcome blast from the past.

I took 50% off the table on Tuesday! Great day today! What is going on??
Be careful...I also sold 50% of my holding at ~76. After a 200% increase it was the right thing for ME to do given my portfolio. Nothing has changed for me since I sold. I still have a significant amount of money invested in this great company and believe it is a great long term (3-5 year) investment - even at these levels for new investors. However, in the short term...I feel that I can make a better return in other investments where the stock price does not reflect the value of the enterprise. In the case of PRGO, unless they make a significant (accretive) acquisition that changes my EPS projections, I see that PRGO fully valued at $70-75 per share. While it may go higher in the near term (perhaps even 80 in the next 3 months), I will be satisfied with my decision and will only invest more when the stock price is a better value (in my opinion). Never chase a stock price...never a good idea...even worse on the last Friday of the month. Ask yourself, do you believe the earnings picture has changed (do to an acquisition or sales and/or margins above the expected range)...? Never look back on a sale...and never get emotionally attached to a stock. PRGO is a great company and I will continue to be an investor...make the right decision for you based on your overall portfolio and horizon.

On Sunday, June 3, from 7 – 9:30 pm, eight violists and their colleagues converged on The Old Church in Portland, OR to play a night of wonderful music – all celebrating the viola! Audience members were treated to music ranging from lyrical selections, some old-time viola fiddling, and a composition where the viola imitated the market cries of village vendors from rural Sicily. The photo is from the grand finale – Apocalyptica's 'Faraway' scored for eight violas (and a few other friends) – what a sound! Many, many thanks to all the musicians, who donated their time and talent to make this concert happen. Huge thanks to all who donated so generously to the OVS' fledgling scholarship fund – we're off to a great start! Miss the concert? Keep checking the website for future activities – we've got lots of things planned!
Introducing Oregon Viola Society's New Leadership
Welcome to the Oregon Viola Society (OVS) website! We'd like to introduce OVS' new leadership team: Co-Chairs Dr. Sharon Eng and Dorianne Reinhardt Paul, and Shelley Mathewson, Secretary-Treasurer. We also take this opportunity to thank past President, Dr. Miriam English Ward and Secretary-Treasurer, Shauna Keyes for their many years of selfless volunteer service to OVS.
Sharon Eng is a Portland native, alumnus of Portland Youth Philharmonic, PSU and Juilliard (BMus, MMus). She earned a Ph.D in Business and Management focusing in nonprofit organizations from the University of South Australia, led the strings program at the Jakarta (Indonesia) International School, and has an active teaching studio and solo career.
Dorianne Reinhardt Paul works in the field of energy efficiency evaluation. She studied at the Universität Salzburg, Austria, where she attended as many concerts as she possibly could. Originally from the New York City area, she has been a Portlander for over 30 years, and has been an impassioned violist since she picked up the instrument at the age of nine. She currently plays in two local community orchestras – the North Oregon Coast Symphony and the Marylhurst Symphony Orchestra, where she also serves as Music Librarian. She enjoys playing chamber music whenever possible.
Shelley Mathewson is an active freelance musician. She plays in the Portland Opera and Oregon Ballet Theatre Orchestras, the Portland Chamber Orchestra, and founded the Delphinium String Quartet. Native to California, she moved to Portland in the mid-1980s having served as principal violist of the Omaha Symphony. She is an alumnus of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music (BMus, MMus).
We are excited to be leading OVS and look forward to organizing viola play-ins, sponsoring master classes, keeping the viola community informed of upcoming events, and eventually sponsoring an annual OVS Viola Scholarship competition. Feel free to email us at [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected], or leave us a note on the OVS Facebook page. We welcome your suggestions and involvement, and look forward to leading the organization onward!
OVS is now on Twitter!

XX Century Chamber Music for Viola and Diverse Instruments
The Oregon Viola Society will sponsor a unique chamber music concert on Sunday, June 3, 2012, 7:00 p.m. at The Old Church at SW 11th and Clay, Portland. The concert will feature 20th century chamber music written for the viola and diverse instruments. Admission is free; donations will be accepted to help the Oregon Viola Society fund scholarships for young violists.
Twenty-six performers representing some of Portland's finest professional musicians will be performing nine works. Among the compositions to be performed are Randall Thompson's Suite for Oboe, Clarinet and Viola; a small work by Portland's own Jacob Avshalomov entitled "Taking Leave of a Friend" scored for Mezzo Soprano, Flute, Viola and Piano; Seymour Barab's "The Lovers" for Medium Voice, Clarinet, Viola, Cello and Piano; Vincent Persichetti's Serenade for Trombone, Viola and Cello, and Luciano Berio's "Naturale (Su melodie Siciliane)" scored for viola, marimba, gongs and tape showcasing Oregon Symphony's principal violist, Joël Belgique, and Head of PSU's percussion department, Dr. Joel Bluestone.
Performers include some of Portland's most active freelance professional musicians and university music professors. Violist Dr. Miriam English Ward teaches viola and chamber music at Lewis and Clark College and the Rose City Music Academy, and Mr. Belgique and Dr. Bluestone teach their respective instruments at Portland State University. They will be joined by flautist Abby Mages and cellist Justin Kagan of the ensemble 45th Parallel; Shelley Mathewson, principal violist of the Oregon Ballet Theatre and the Portland Opera orchestras; Stephen Price, a long-time Oregon Symphony violist; Alicia Charlton, principal clarinetist with the Columbia Symphony; and Janet Coleman, one of the most sought-after collaborative pianists in the metropolitan area.
A wine and cheese reception follows the concert.

Benicio Del Toro Takes On 'Che'
Actor Benicio Del Toro has wanted to play the role of Che Guevara for years. Now, he has his chance in Che, a sprawling biopic by Steven Soderbergh on the life and death of the revolutionary figure.
Alex Cohen speaks with Del Toro about the role and his own personal history.
"I dream in Spanish," says Del Toro, who admits it was a bit of a challenge performing for the first time in Spanish.

[INT - Jerry's Apartment - Day]
[Jerry is looking through his cupboard]
Jerry: Meat meat meat. What is the attraction to meat all of a sudden? I mean sure it has an abundance of protein, but think about it. It's the flesh of other living things. What's next? Eating little animals' souls? It's ghoulish.
[Kramer bursts through the door]
Jerry: Hey.
[Kramer seems disoriented and his skin is glistening with grease. He stumbles over to the couch]
Jerry: What's wrong with you?
Kramer: Yeah, yeah...meat. Yatata...meat...
Jerry: Meat, again?!
Kramer: Newman, meat. Jerry. Newman, meat, Jerry. Yeahh...
Jerry: Oh that's it. I'm going right over there and I'm gonna put a stop to this, this meat...CULT!!
Kramer: Jerry...bacon...
[INT - Newman's Apartment - Day]
[Newman is crouched before an altar over which he has draped strips of bacon and skirt steaks]
Newman: Him?! You want me to convert him? But he's...my enemy?
Newman: [sighing] All right, fine. But you owe me big for this Ponderosa.
[A knock at Newman's door. He opens it and Jerry enters]
Jerry: All right, Newman! I've had enough of this! What did you do to George and Kramer?!
Newman: Nothing...they've...simply come around to a novel new way of thinking. A way to orient oneself in the world, Jerry.
Jerry: Well it stinks! [Noticing the altar] Oh my god.
Newman: What is the use of staying like you are, Jerry?
[Newman's mouth opens and raw hamburger meat projectiles out all over Jerry]
Newman: He came to us on a ship of meat, Jerry.
Jerry: NEWWWWWMANNNNN!!!!
[INT - Elaine's Apartment - Night]
[Elaine is sleeping. Cut to dream sequence of Elaine giving birth with Jerry, the father, looking on.
Doctor: Push! Push!
[Elaine struggles to give birth. The baby comes out but the doctor looks horrified]
Elaine: What? What? Is something wrong with my baby?
Jerry: No Elaine. The child is perfect. It will be our cabin boy [voice distorts into deep inhuman tone] on the ship.
[Elaine looks down. She sees that her baby is a large meatloaf]
[Elaine wakes up screaming. She hears a knock at the door. Hesitantly she goes to it, looks out the peephole, and opens the door]
[Jerry George and Kramer enter. They are all covered in grease and sauce]
Jerry: Elaine, we have come with a gift. We want you to join us, the one, the many.
Kramer: Bacon.
Elaine: We? [voice trembling] Jerry, what are you talking about?
Jerry: Join us, Elaine. Join us on the [voice distortion] ship of meat.
[We see that Jerry has developed acne]
Jerry: [Frazzled] I don't see what's so strange about meat. Cows eat the plants, then we eat the cows. So when you eat a cow, you're really getting a full nutritious meal. Don't you agree?
Elaine: [starting to back up] Well uh...not if you don't eat the entire thing.
Jerry: We do. Come, let us show you.
George: The wonders! Oh ho!
[Strange tentacles emerge from underneath their clothes]
Elaine: Are those...omelettes?
[Kramer, Jerry and George's meat tentacles grab Elaine.]

TOTAL WRECK - crazy-eyed hound is covered in cobwebs, has a vespiary on back, graffiti on side and savage thirst for boat fuel. Frankly, I'm in over my head. He's in room 115 at Motel 6, yours free. 555-2851
Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.
Selling objects to the past, lighters, weed, etc. Pretty intriguing stuff.
Title of this one pretty much says it all. If it's what you're looking for, then uh, look no further

Still it would be amazing to start thinking about what might be needed to take advantage of this kind of functionality when it's available to us. Does anyone know if Nvidia supports XVMA yet?

A Ku-band precipitation radar on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite provides backscattering coefficients (σ0) of Earth surfaces. The data are used to investigate σ0 characteristics of rain forest, and they show unique dependence on incidence angles and little dependence on seasons. A diurnal cycle is found in σ0 of the Amazon rain forest, showing the maximum σ0 in the morning and the minimum in the evening. It is inferred that the diurnal cycle is caused by dew drops on the leaves in the forests, and discussion on the dew effects with a simple model follows.

I removed all other qt-related values from my path variable and then explicitly specified all the paths to one single version. Recompiled and built the application, and there was my application, running without any jerks and problems.

Today's Internet carries an ever broadening range of application traffic with different requirements. This has stressed its original, one-class, best-effort model, and has been one of the main drivers behind the many efforts aimed at introducing QoS. Those efforts have, however, experienced only limited success because their added complexity often conflict with the scalability requirements of the Internet. This has motivated many proposals that try to offer service differentiation while keeping complexity low. This paper shares similar goals and proposes a simple scheme, BoundedRandomDrop (BRD), that supports multiple service classes. BRD focuses on loss differentiation, as although both losses and delay are important performance parameters, the steadily rising speed of Internet links is progressively limiting the impact of delay differentiation. BRD offers strong loss differentiation capabilities with minimal added cost. BRD does not require traffic profiles or admission controls. It guarantees each class losses that, when feasible, are no worse than a specified bound, and enforces differentiation only when required to meet those bounds. In addition, BRD is implemented using a single FIFO queue and a simple random dropping mechanism. The performance of BRD is investigated for a broad range of traffic mixes and shown to consistently achieve its design goals.

Mom hides children, shoots intruder Paul Ali Slater 5 times:
Posted on: 12:06 am, January 6, 2013, by Web Staff, updated on: 07:48pm, January 6, 2013
LOGANVILLE, Ga. A Georgia mother hid her two 9-year-old twins and shot an intruder, Paul Ali Slater, several times during a home invasion on Friday, according to multiple media reports.
The Loganville mother said she didnt initially answer when someone knocked on her door around 1 p.m. Friday. When the visitor began repeatedly ringing the doorbell, she called her husband at work, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
He then dialed 911 and his 37-year-old wife gathered their 9-year-old twins and hid them in a crawlspace inside the home.
According to the report, the intruder then forced his way into the home and started rummaging through the familys belongings.
When the suspect went into the closet where the family was hiding ,the woman fired six bullets at the suspect, five of which hit alleged suspect Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area.
He opens the closet door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver, Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The woman fled to a neighbors home with her children. The woman and her two children were not injured.
Popular story: Representative reintroduces bill to abolish presidential term limit
The injured intruder stumbled out of the home and attempted to flee in his car. However, he crashed into a wooded area and collapsed in a neighbors driveway, according to WSB-TV.
The suspect was arrested at the scene. He was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive.
The victims husband said hes proud of his wife.
My wife is a hero. She protected her kids. She did what she was supposed to do as responsible, prepared gun owner, Donnie Herman told WSB-TV.

Good post Stup. Here is the video
It's a shame this criminal will have his worthless life saved by the taxpayer.
Wonder how many times he voted for Obama??
#4 Jan 7, 2013
Isn't it strange how these stories never make it to CNN, MSNBC and the like?
#5 Jan 7, 2013
"I just want to be absolutely clear. Alright, So I don't want any misunderstanding when you all go home and you are talking to your buddies and you say, ah 'He wants to take your guns away.' You've heard it here, I'm on television so everybody knows it. I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people's lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won't take your handgun away."
What a POS!
United States
#6 Jan 7, 2013
Or the fact that these people were in their home, minding their own business when criminals came to their door. Its terrifying to think what could have happened to those women and 12 year old little girl if the dirt bags would have gotten their hands on them. Sad that they were put in that position in their own home, I dont feel they were defending their possessions as much as protecting their lives; which they have every right to do.
#7 Jan 7, 2013
Sorry lady, it is up to Obama to decide what rights we have.
United States
#8 Jan 7, 2013
I would consider relinquishing some of my rights knowing that tougher laws on criminals were implemented. Although I shouldn't have to because of a scum bag.
#9 Jan 7, 2013
No need to relinquish any rights.
Increase mandatory penalties for crimes committed with a weapon severly, say minimum 25 years for armed robbery. Kill someone during such a crime, 40 years. Second offense? Automatic death penalty.
I'd be fine with tackling the straw buyer issue. If you sell a gun without going through a FFL dealer (gunshow loophole) and that gun is used in a crime at a later date, you are going to be charged as if you participated in the crime. That would make at least the honest people think twice about selling a gun to a stranger or even giving one to a family member.

The dirty perpetrator had been arrested 6 times since 2008. Probably voted for Obama that many times also. Great criminal justice system. Liberals are deranged.
#12 Jan 9, 2013
No, it's up to courts in the end. You've been reading too much WorldNetDaily fake yoo hoo.
#13 Jan 9, 2013
The kids in Newtown were no less innocent being in their school. And while it may be terrible to think what "could have happened" I doubt many gun advocates would take that as a reason to ban guns...because of what COULD happen.
Homes are legally protected as if sanctuaries for the holy--and that's fine--but I do question if this outcome was the best of all worlds.
Those girls and the mother will have to live with the horror of the shooting they witnessed despite 2nd amenders HOO AH mentality regarding justified shootings.
I think it odd too that 1) someone doesn't answer their door...must have been because they don't get many darkies around there, and 2) that if you have a gun you hide in a closet. And could it be that the perp was looking for a house where nobody was home?
Even if afraid why not answer the door with the gun behind your back? Or even if not that, just stand in an off room with your gun in hand, ready incase he does break in?
I think this story is more a celebration of the shooting than of someone defending their possessions--which in the end is all it may have been about.
The point being is we can't know another's intentions and a burglar would never be believed even if he honestly was just looking for a vacant house to steal from. But as long as there was a shooting in the home the mother was a hero. I don't necessarily buy it.
BTW why didn't she call 911?
#14 Jan 9, 2013
Why stop at the straw buyer issue? Why not say if someone commits a crime with YOUR gun you are going to get the same sentence? Could it be because owners don't really want to be responsible for their guns? I say if you can't be responsible to that degree then you shouldn't have a gun.
#15 Jan 9, 2013
It would depend on how they got it. If they steal it and it went unreported for more than a short period of time then yes I'd be ok with that, particularly if the owner could show reasonable steps were in place to keep it secure, such as it being locked in a safe or such.
Were someone to break into my home when there is no one there, they might gain access to a gun but unless they are a hobby gunsmith they aren't going to have a functional one without some spare parts. I remove important small pieces to any of my firearms not currently in use. On top of that they all have trigger locks and are kept in a gun safe or locked containers. Ammo is stored separately and locked up all well. These steps are taken more to ensure against curiosity getting the better of my kids than theft, but is suitable for both.
Break in while I'm home and there is a likely chance to end up like the invader in the OP story.
#16 Jan 9, 2013
sorry if the owner could not show reasonable attempts to keep it secure.
#17 Jan 9, 2013
Straw buyers and corrupt FFL sales are the most common means for criminals to acquire a firearm.
Theft is pretty low on the list, but then trying to legislate the use of gun locks and such in the home was never really about the risk of theft, but protecting children from themselves, and criminals from the home owner.
#19 Jan 9, 2013
Bravo gun owner you! You seem very responsible. If every gun owner were like you we may not be having this conversation. But...
1) As an analogy look at gun ownership like sperm ownership. If one goes off, you got a life sentence of paying dues whether the rubber broke, she said she was fixed, I had my guns in a safe or whatever. One's about living and one's about dying but you gotta pay the man whatever the case IMO.
2) Bravo! This as law to be followed is what I think would prevent unintended deaths. But then again if needing a gun is a split second decision, you may be putting yourself at harm. Bravo again for protecting your kids from their own curiosity above some unlikely need to shoot on a seconds notice.
3) I understand. But would you shoot first if the law said that when your gun is drawn you must first order them to drop to the ground? I don't care one way or another other than as conversation but I question why someone would shoot if they didn't have to except as it is what they were trained will give them the rush of the kill, give them egoistic bragging rights or whatever...
#20 Jan 9, 2013
Ha ha. You seem reasonable but really, gun locks are about protecting "criminals from the home owner"? That's your Mulligan ;)
#21 Jan 9, 2013
how about if someone steals your car and someone gets killed with it , you should be sentenced for murder.
same thing
#22 Jan 9, 2013
I'd likely give the command to get out after place a small red dot on their center of mass. Having to guard them until authorities arrive wouldn't be high on my list of smart things to do.
I'll stick to bragging about my success as a hunter to like minded folk. Having to shoot someone is second to last of things I want to do in life, beating only being killed by some fool who thinks stealing from me is easier than working for their own, or who wants to harm my family.

Skip to comments.The Taliban reign of terror - parallels with the Bolsheviks and other revolutionary fanatics
Posted on 10/07/2001 4:54:58 PM PDT by AM2000
|Mullah Omar and Robespierre - brothers in spirit
|The Taliban regime is seen as a symbol of mediaeval barbarism. The truth is Taliban has more in common with the Jacobins and the Bolsheviks, says Parsa Venkateshwar Rao Jr
|The Taliban have lasted for about five years, and they have succeeded in setting up a veritable reign of terror. Most of us have no hesitation in attributing the Taliban's cruelty to their mediaeval Islamic beliefs. We believe that the Taliban do not belong to the modern era, and that their rightful place belongs to the "dark ages" of a mediaeval era. These assumptions are taken to be axiomatic, and no one even seems to pause and ask whether they are true.
And as we look back, we realise that revolutionary fanaticism is a modern phenomenon, and it can be seen first in the 17th century English Revolution, where the Puritans had tried to impose the rule of saints. Such was the dour impact of their tyranny, that when Oliver Cromwell, the republican dictator died, the English promptly restored monarchy, and also enjoyed during this period "a moral holiday" - the quaint phrase used by the Romantic critic Charles Lamb to describe the mood of the post-Puritanical phase.
We come across the classical instance of a reign of terror during the French Revolution of the 18th century, which had erupted in the face of Europe towards the end of what European historians have ironically called "The Age of Enlightenment". The frenzy, the fury and the murderous rage that marked these years negates what the thinkers of the Enlightenment, almost all of them French intellectuals of the time, had believed in: reason with a capital R.
Every revolution that followed the French seemed to relive many of the phases of the 1789 French Revolution, and the Reign of Terror became a necessary act of the historical drama. There was terror after the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, and it was played out in a longer phase during Stalin's stage-managed purges and trials of the late 1930s.
The other classic revolution was that of the Chinese in 1949, and we find that the reigns of terror recurred periodically, the longest of them during the Cultural Revolution of the '6os and the '70s.
The Khomeini Revolution of 1979 in Iran had its share of terror, and it lasted through much of the 1980s. And it is after this that analysts and commentators began to spread the idea that it is "mediaeval Islamism" that is at the root of the terror in Iran. And the same explanation has been bandied about after the puritanical Taliban had captured Kabul, and ended up controlling more than 90 per cent of Afghanistan. It is not enough, then, to blame revolutionary terror on Islamic extremism. Revolutionary terror has its own inexorable logic.
The interesting aspect of terrorism is that people who did not believe in God or religion have forged it during the French, Russian and Chinese revolutions. They were all honourable secularists. To understand the phenomenon of the reigns of terror, we need a historian who will explain the characteristics of revolutionary frenzy.
It is American historian Crane Brinton, who analyses the four major modern revolutions, the English, American, French and Russian, in "The Anatomy of Revolution" - first published in 1938, and then an expanded and revised version in 1965 - and pays attention to the reigns of terror in each of these revolutions. Brinton is an unusual historian, who was not tied down by doctrinaire views. He believed in what he curiously called "historical sociology" by which he meant the social aspects of any historical phenomenon or period.
Brinton shows that all reigns of terror are about imposing virtue on ordinary people who want to be left alone. But such is the inherent messianism of the secular and religion-inspired revolutions that they want to make saints of people. He says of the French Jacobins led by Robespierre, who orchestrated the terror: "The Jacobins were in principle against gambling, drunkenness, sexual irregularities of all sorts, ostentatious display of poverty, idleness, thieving " The Bolsheviks followed the same puritanical regime: "Early the Bolsheviks prohibited the national drink, vodka, and almost all the first soviets took steps against prostitution, gambling, night life "
What the Taliban tried to impose does not seem to be very different from what Robespierre in France and Lenin in Russia tried to do: impose the tyranny of virtue. The excesses of Taliban cannot be traced back to "mediaeval Islamism". There is something irrational about violent revolutions, as the friar in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" remarks: "Violent passions have violent ends".
Taliban leader Mullah Omar and Robespierre seem to belong to the same fraternity of fanatics. And it is clear that though there is something religious about fanaticism, it has nothing to do with religion as such. Robespierre was a declared atheist, while Omar considers himself an orthodox Muslim. But they act in similar ways. They want to impose piety and order on the rest of society.
Brinton also observes that the reigns of terror are periods of acute economic shortages, and that administration during the terror is managed not by an individual but by a committee. "Though names like Cromwell, Robespierre, and Lenin stand out as those of rulers, and although these men did exercise unquestioned power in many ways, the characteristic form of this supreme authority is that of a committee. The government of the Terror is the a dictatorship in committee."
The most important observation is that the reigns of terror are the most inefficient. It is sometimes argued that the chaos created by the initial outbreak of the revolution can only be sorted out by single-minded fanatics. "Indeed, one of the reasons why the governments of the Terror seem so tyrannical and hard to bear, even retrospectively, is precisely that they were so inefficient."
Reigns of terror must wind down because the leaders of terror are not good at managing the economy. Secondly, their zeal in promoting virtue becomes an unbearable burden. But the reigns of terror need not be short - just two years as in the case of the French Revolution. They can last for longer periods - 10 years in China, and about eight years in Khomeini's Iran. And at the end of it, the countries take a long time to recover from the grievous wounds inflicted on society and polity by the masters of terror.

No matter what spin, what happens, how long it takes, in the end, this is what it is all about.
This may be hard for some to swallow right now, but eventually the truth must be faced.

Agreed. If the radical right were nearly as powerful as the radical left is (in contemporary America), we'd be saying the same about them.
I too have felt uncomfortable about characterizing the Taliban as "medieval." On the whole, the medieval period was pretty civilized and decent. Europe was pulling itself back out of the dark age that followed the collapse of Rome and the incursion of the pagan German tribes. Many historians speak, rightly I think, of the "Renaissance of the twelfth century."
The Assassins and the Barbery Pirates may be better models for what we are seeing, as several threads have suggested.
Once it starts there is virtually no stopping it untill even the perpetrators are outraged and sickened by the terror. Afghanistan will eventually reach this point if we don't end it sooner.
The radical left also busily builds lists of enemies. You figure out why.
The Taliban are mostly a bunch of illiterate religious "students" (ethnic Pashtuns from Pakistan and Afghanistan) out of the madrassas of Pakistan. They most certainly are not the traditional elite of Afghan or Pakistani society, which more or less sided with the Communists during the Cold War. So to answer your question, it most certainly is a grassroots movement; however, it was bolstered by active American involvement in that region. When they first came to power, the population was largely sympathetic and supportive. Today, they are not.
