NAMM Day 3: Orianthi wows ... Dick Dale, Ted Nugent rip it up ... Sara Haze impresses
While walking through the trade show at NAMM, it's common to stumble upon surprise artist appearances. Such was the case on Day 3 (Saturday), when I saw a large crowd assembled in front of the small TOCA percussion booth, peeked around and glimpsed the Escovedo family (including Sheila E. and father Pete) going to town on a feisty, fun rhythm jam on bongos and drums.
Then an enticing, folksy cover of the Killers' "Mr. Brightside" suddenly caught my ear. Huddled on a small stage at the Sennheiser microphones booth was Sara Haze and her band.
Orange County resident Haze has played the Grand Ole Opry, had songs placed on TV's The Hills, worked with top Nashville songwriters and just put out an independent album (My Personal Sky). The 20-year-old blonde singer performed several appealing selections in a country/pop vein, and it didn't take long before an assembled throng started clapping along. An atmospheric "Beautiful Day," where Haze incorporated a bit of Rihanna's "Umbrella," was a clear standout. Definitely one to watch.
Across the expansive Anaheim Convention Center, surf guitar legend Dick Dale and teenage son Jimmy played instrumental electric guitar tunes. Before launching into "Miserlou," the elder Dale explained how Quentin Tarantino came to use the popular 1962 track in Pulp Fiction.
Nearby, familiar prog-rock keyboard textures emanated from the Infinite Response space, where Eddie Jobson (Roxy Music, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa) held court. The synth/violin master did a fascinating demo of the new dual VAX77 keyboard system with mini-Moog that he helped develop, offering bits of songs as examples. He ended up blowing out the small sound system's woofer speaker.
Some junior high school student musicians displayed their talent on the ACC's Main Lobby stage with a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile." Once they exited, Motor City Madman Ted Nugent suddenly walked out and dashed off "The Star Spangled Banner," Hendrix-style. He added some of trademark warped, humorous quips along the way.
And Orianthi –- the 24-year-old Aussie hard-rock guitar gal originally tapped to work with Michael Jackson for his ill-fated This Is It shows in London -- closed the Main Lobby stage's Saturday lineup, turning in a mighty impressive 50-minute set culled from her recently released Geffen debut, Believe.
The large audience flanked all the entrances and watched from stairwells leading to other floors. Despite an iffy sound mix, Orianthi and her tight four-member group packed quite a wallop, especially amid tunes bolstered by three electric guitars.
On the powerful "Suffocated," Orianthi's hammering style recalled Eddie Van Halen (Lita Ford would be the closest female comparison). The sassy, wailing rocker "According to You," currently climbing the Top 40, bore shades of Alanis Morissette, while the power ballad "God Only Knows" was a definite highlight, as was the volcanic instrumental "Song for Steve," written in honor of fellow axe slinger and 2007 tour mate Steve Vai (he also guests on the new album).

Downloader and installer for the nVidia driver package (361.28)(beta) using glvnd
----------------------------------------------------- WARNING: This driver is not compatible with the current openSuSE distributions and will probably not work until all GLX applications are ported to the new API. See the nVidia release notes. ----------------------------------------------------- Installing these packages can take a long time. These packages will automatically download the NVIDIA driver (+-70MB) from http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64 or http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86 and save it in /usr/src. The driver and libraries will be installed after the download. The installer will install the nVidia files the Bumblebee way. The libraries will NOT interfere with any other libraries of a distribution and will be installed in a seperate nvidia directory. Usage will be controlled by editing the ld.so.conf(.d) and/or using the "ModulePath" var in xorg.conf. You can also download the NVIDIA package yourself and copy it to the /usr/src directory. The installer will then skip the download part and just install the driver and libraries the Bumblebee way. These rpms can be used by normal and Optimus enabled nVidia systems. Tips and tricks =============== You can use the /usr/lib/nvidia/switch-libGL.sh or /usr/lib64/nvidia/switch-libGL.sh to force the use of the nVidia libGL* libraries. This is only necessary if an application is compiled with hard linked library paths ( the rpath option was used ). A better solution is to start the offending application with: 32bit: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/nvidia:/usr/lib/nvidia/vdpau <application_name> [ <arguments> ] 64bit: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/nvidia:/usr/lib64/nvidia/vdpau <application_name> [ <arguments> ] and force the application to use the nVidia libs. Release info =============== - Use the GLVND GLX library - Update to 361.28 * Added support for the following GPU: GeForce 945A * Added a legacy, non-GLVND libGL.so GLX client library to the NVIDIA Linux driver installer package, and the ability to select between a GLVND or non-GLVND GLX client library at installation time. This allows users to install the legacy non-GLVND GLX client library in order to work around compatibility issues which may arise due to GLX applications which depend upon behaviors of the NVIDIA GLX client driver which are not defined by the Linux OpenGL ABI version 1.0. By default, nvidia-installer will install the legacy, non-GLVND GLX client libraries. The --glvnd-glx-client command line option can be used to override the default, and install the GLVND GLX client libraries instead. Please contact the vendors of any applications that are not compatible with GLVND to ensure that their applications be updated for compatibility with GLVND. The presence of multiple GLX client libraries in the package has implications for repackagers of the NVIDIA driver; see the libGL.so entry in the "Installed Components" chapter of the README for details. The OpenGL Vendor-Neutral Driver (GLVND) infrastructure is now included and supported by the NVIDIA GLX and OpenGL drivers. This should not cause any visible changes in behavior for end users, but some internal driver component libraries have been renamed and/or moved as a result. These changes may affect scripts that rely on the presence of NVIDIA OpenGL driver components other than those specified in the Linux OpenGL ABI version 1.0, maintainers of alternative NVIDIA driver installation packages, and applications which rely on the presence of any non- OpenGL/GLX symbols in the libGL.so.1 library and its dependencies in any way. Please see: https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd For more information on the GLVND project. The Linux OpenGL ABI version 1.0 specification is available at: https://www.opengl.org/registry/ABI * Updated nvidia-installer to run ldconfig(8) and depmod(8) after uninstalling an existing driver, instead of only running these two commands when installing a new driver. * Removed the VDPAU wrapper and trace libraries libvdpau.so.1 and libvdpau_trace.so.1 from the driver package. These libraries may be available via your distribution's package management system, or can be compiled from the sources available at: http://people.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/vdpau/ * Please see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/VDPAU/ for more information. * Fixed a bug in the EGL driver where a mutex was unlocked more than once. This triggers undefined behavior, and in particular, if lock elision is enabled in glibc, may result in a segmentation fault.

General Interest
We Accept GT35 GT3582 GT3540 T3 AR.70 4-BOLT FLOAT BEARING TURBO CHARGER 500HPS COMPRESSOR
High Compression/ Boosting Float Bearing GT35 Turbocharger
The GT35 turbocharger assembly is designed to be used on engines displacing 2.0L-4.5L and is typically good for around 600HP. They are also commonly used in twin turbo applications. In this case those figures would be doubled 4.0L-8.0L engines up to 1200HP. Horsepower ratings are generally meant to express the turbochargers maximum airflow capability. Recommended boost pressures are 7psi(.5 Bar) to 21psi(1.5 Bar) and boost pressures should not exceed 30psi(2 Bar). Exceeding 21psi(1.5 Bar) of boost pressure can significantly reduce a turbochargers lifespan. Generally speaking 14psi(1 Bar) is good for a 100% increase in horsepower from a naturally aspirated engine. Also factory non-turbo engines without forged internal components on high octane pump gas (91-92 octane) it is not recommended exceeding 7psi (.5 Bar) of boost. Doing so could result in damaging your engine.

Outlook The AA's boss Chris Jansen has all of a sudden found himself in the position that his customers hire his company to get them out of.
He's stuck at the side of the road waiting for someone to pick up him after his job as chief executive of the AA, well, broke down.
"We completely understand and respect Chris's desire to seek new challenges outside the AA," gushed chairman Bob Mackenzie as Mr Jansen's imminent departure was announced (with finance director Andy Boland soon to follow). Mr Jansen's statement on the matter struck a similar tone. They're all great pals really.
Still, Mr Mackenzie's desire to rule the roost clearly had no small role to play in Mr Jansen's "desire" for a new challenge just eight months after taking on the job.
Mr Mackenzie has no intention of being the "elder statesman" that Mr Jansen described him as when the road assistance firm floated. And therein lies the problem.
Mr Mackenzie boasts the title of executive chairman and will retain it indefinitely. Even if he does get around to hiring a chief executive it looks like they may end up being, in effect, a chief operating officer with a fancy salary and title. At best. The "lucky" candidate might just end up them being one of Britain's best-paid bag carriers.
That wouldn't matter so much if the AA were still owned by private equity firms. If they want all-powerful generalissimos running their companies then more fool them (the sensible ones don't). But thanks to the work of Mr MacKenzie, the AA is now a public company.
Those who take the public's pensions and other savings to further their business ambitions ought to be willing to accept the requirements and responsibilities that come along with doing so.
One of the most important of those is that the roles of chairman and chief executive are kept separate. The latter should be allowed to run the business while the former runs the board in a non-executive capacity.
This isn't simply a matter of box ticking by corporate governance wonks that can be satisfactorily dealt with by way of a few words somewhere in an annual report. The rule was put in place with good reason even if it doesn't always work as well as it might in practice (see Goodwin, Fred and Scotland, Royal Bank of).
On behalf of their investors, to whom they have a fiduciary duty, the institutions who backed Mr Mackenzie in taking the business public now need to make it clear to him that they weren't handing him a blank cheque as regards governance.Reuse content

Yes I can make you feel like a King
A man in royalty, in need of no thing
I promise to rub your back after a long tiresome day
Of course I'll run a thousand miles to your heart, in the pouring rain
Just to make sure you're okay
When you're watching the game
I'll pass you the remote
And won't even stand in your way
Every scrape I'll help unpile
I vow to motivate you
Through every trial
I won't be perfect
I may yell over things that aren't worth it
Sometimes I'll start a fight
Because it turns me on to see that look in your eye
I may ask who is she and not even care but just to see
If you would lie to me
I may cry sometimes and need for you to hold me
Or for you to send me flowers
Randomly tell me you love me
Sometimes I may want you to look me in the eyes
Tell me how beautiful I am.
How you're so fortunate to be my man
Sometimes I can be an angel
If viewed from the perfect angle
When pain spiral out of control and
Love reach its hardest
I will need for you to love me

Asian Stocks Maintain Two-Day Gain as Miners AdvanceYoshiaki Nohara and Jonathan Burgos
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index maintained its gains over the past two days as material shares led the advance while consumer-staple companies fell.
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company, added 2.9 percent in Sydney. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. surged 10 percent amid speculation investors were buying shares of the Japanese carmaker to cover short positions. E-Mart Co., a South Korean retailer, fell 4.5 percent, pacing losses among consumer stocks, after Deutsche Bank AG lowered its rating on the shares.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index added less than 0.1 percent to 139.57 as of 5:09 p.m. in Tokyo, after falling as much as 0.4 percent. The measure climbed 0.7 percent the previous two days and is down 0.1 percent on the week.
"Investors are digesting economic fundamentals and earnings one by one," said Hitoshi Asaoka, a Tokyo-based senior strategist at Mizuho Trust & Banking Co. "Expectations for earnings and monetary easing supported stocks toward the end of last year, but now actual results are coming out, investors are pricing in the reality."
Japan's Topix index rose 0.2 percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index climbed 0.6 percent, after falling as much as 0.6 percent. New Zealand's NZX 50 Index lost 0.6 percent. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index dropped 0.1 percent. China's Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.9 percent. South Korea's Kospi index slid 0.7 percent.
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 0.1 percent. The measure slid 0.1 percent yesterday from a record high as earnings at companies from Citigroup Inc. to CSX Corp. disappointed investors.
Citigroup and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. led declines among banks after releasing fourth-quarter results. CSX, the biggest railroad in the eastern U.S., dropped 6.8 percent as profit missed analysts' forecasts for the first time in two years.
Jobless Claims
Fewer Americans filed applications for unemployment benefits last week, a sign the labor market continues to strengthen. Jobless claims decreased by 2,000 to 326,000, the least since the end of November, from a revised 328,000 in the prior period, a Labor Department report showed yesterday. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for 328,000.
Another report showed inflation in the U.S. climbed in December by the most in six months, led by gains in fuel and rents. The 0.3 percent increase in the consumer-price index was the biggest since June and followed no change the prior month.
China's factory output and investment growth probably weakened in December, adding to signs the world's second-largest economy is losing momentum as analysts forecast expansion in 2014 at the lowest in 24 years.
China Data
Industrial-production gains slowed to a five-month low of 9.8 percent and gross domestic product grew 7.6 percent from a year earlier in the October-December period, based on the median estimates of analysts before data due Jan. 20.
The Asia-Pacific stocks gauge traded at 13.1 times estimated earnings as of yesterday, compared with 15.6 for the S&P 500 and 14 for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Miners Rally
Mining companies posted the biggest advance among the 10 industry groups on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index today as copper futures rose and Citigroup Inc. turned bullish on the industry for the first time in three years.
"Improvements in European and U.S. growth are supportive for commodities and weakening commodity currencies are providing a fillip for the miners," Citigroup analysts led by Heath R. Jansen wrote in a note dated Jan. 16.
BHP, which Citigroup raised to buy from neutral, climbed 2.9 percent to A$37.89. Rio Tinto Group, the world's second-largest mining company, added 1.1 percent to A$66.32.
Mitsubishi Motors surged 10 percent to 1,280 yen, the most in six months. The gains in shares may be due to short-covering as well as "tight" demand for a secondary share placement announced on Jan. 7, said Gavin Parry, managing director of Hong Kong-based brokerage Parry International Trading.
China Cosco Holdings Co. gained 2.7 percent to HK$3.46 as the nation's biggest cargo line said it expects to swing to a full-year profit from a loss the previous year.
Among stocks that declined, E-Mart slipped 4.5 percent to 253,000 won in Seoul after Deutsche Bank lowered its rating to hold from buy.
Super Retail Group Ltd. tumbled 14 percent to A$10.79, the steepest drop since March 2009, after the Australian store operator forecast first-half profit that missed analyst estimates.

A Day Without Jobs
Some folks took off work, you know, in a sympathy strike for illegal immigrants. To show, you know, how hard life would be without all the work that immigrants do.
Serowski, founder of JVS Masonry in Commerce City, Colorado, said his message to them was clear and unwavering:Rumors that those 30 openings were filled by sundown could not be confirmed.
"If you're going to stand up for what you believe in you have to be willing to pay the price."
As promised, when his foreman and some 30 brick layers failed to show up for work he fired them all with no regrets, he said.
Bill McNally, owner of "I Don't Care Bar and Grill" in Catoosa, Oklahoma, said his 12 line cooks gave him no heads up that they planned to participate in the day of action. They didn't even call to say they were not coming in.Thinking, its something people should consider now and then.
Consequently, he said they were fired just like anyone else who's a no-show for work.
"I'm on their side but we have rules at "I Don't Care Bar and Grill." If you're going to be late call in. If you're not coming to work call us. That's the American way," he said.
Six of the fired Hispanic immigrant workers told CNN affiliate KTUL they felt they had been unfairly terminated. They wanted to stand in solidarity with other immigrants but they did not think it would cost them their jobs, a translator for the group told KTUL.
I would have joined them, but I was fresh out of vacation days.

Ministry of Irony: Google's Youtube Censors Video on Left Wing Censorship
LMAO, its as iff someone was asleep at the switch, yes yes we censor based on politics.
A video titled The Dark Art of Political Intimidation was posted last week by WSJ columnist Kimberly Strassel as a PragerU lecture. Within several hours of PragerU posting the video, said a WSJ editorial, YouTube placed it in restricted mode, making it inaccessible to schools, libraries and young Americans whose parents have enabled YouTube technology filters.The video that must not be seen is here, so long as it lasts.
What the videos have done is run afoul of progressive orthodoxy. YouTube told WSJ that video restrictions are decided by an algorithm that factors in community flagging and sensitive content. In other words, the algorithm was tripped by progressives trying to limit speech and political engagement by conservatives. Flag a video enough times and the restrictions kick in. Do it often enough and YouTube is your safe space. Extra points for flagging videos that accuse the left of doing exactly what youre doing.

Every Cliché Has Its Element of Truth (Update Or Not)
In purely classic mob style someone in Brooklyn has been Sleeping with the fishes.
Police are trying to identify the body of a man who washed up along a Brooklyn beach wrapped in plastic bags with his arms tied around his back, his feet in "cement shoes."And obviously Catholic, completing the picture.
New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said Tuesday the victim had his feet "submerged in poured concrete."
He said it was obviously a homicide and officials were investigating. The man has a large tattoo of the Virgin Mary holding a rose and police hoped it would help identify him.
I'm going out on a limb here, I suspect he may be Italian, does that make me racist?
Update: Its official, I was totally 100% wrong!
A student found the remains of gang member Peter Martinez on Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn this week.
It is thought that strong currents swept the 28-year-old's body to shore.
But hey at least I was right about "gang related" just like totally the wrong gang, I guess the Italians can take it as imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

Heartbreak at Huffpo! Muslima Admits Slashing Her Own Face
Concocting Story of Scary White Christian in Black Hat
'She reported as she was walking northbound on Broadway, an unknown male grabbed her by the arm turned her and slashed her on the left side of her face.Its Trump he's behind these attacks of course!
'She reported that when he slashed her he made a statement to the effect that she was a terrorist, and he continued to flee northbound on Broadway.'
From the back of an ambulance, she described how she retreated to a cosmetology school she attends down the street. There she called her father, who contacted 911.
The Trump hatred went on until.....
Police said Friday morning that a woman who claimed a stranger slashed her in the face made the whole story up.
But to their credit, Huffpo commentors didn't let truth get in the way of a good narrative.
Speaking of mental institutions.... Twitter's live feed show that people are still pushing the lie, knowing full well it is a lie.
Update: Reading further I see a lament that because this woman lied, the next time a Random White Christian in a Black Hat slashes a Muslima, no one will believe her.
A good point I suppose.
But possibly the biggest danger is, rather or not this was a lie. It will cause us damage.
This story will be passed around by well meaning partisans, and even some not so well meaning folks who know its false, yet will use it anyway.
In her own country she'd need four witnesses to prove she was raped. But her statement alone will be gobbled up in the Middle East.
The headline Woman Lies About Man Slashing Face will translate into Arabic something like, American Zionist Slashes Innocent Muslima and Lies About It.
Then, without thinking twice, they will decide to kill you.
For sure, rather intentional or not, this story will incite hatred and murder of Americans. And from terrorists who really don't care if its true or not. Even if its not true, all things are permissible in Jihad, no?
So this needs to be investigated, maybe she's crazy, but even so the damage is done.

Ministry of Irony: Suicide Bomber in Splodes in Volkswagen

The blast occurred around 8 a.m. (3 a.m. ET) in Charlottenburg, a district in western Berlin, according to city police spokesman Stefan Petersen.
The man who was killed was driving the Volkswagen Passat when it exploded, said Carsten Mueller, another police spokesman. Berlin police said it wasn't clear if the 43-year-old victim -- who has a criminal history -- was the intended target of the blast.

Feel Good Story of the Day al-Qassam Murders
Gay Palestinian
I'm sure progressives will dismiss it as caused by you know, The Juice.
GAZA CITY The death of Mahmoud Ishtiwi had all the trappings of a telenovela: sex, torture and embezzlement in Gazas most venerated and secretive institution, the armed wing of Hamas.Actually Mahmoud may not have been gay, he confessed to many things under torture of buy his group Izzedine al-Qassam, one wonders how many he did the very same thing to before he became the scapegoat. But Hamas didn't waterboard him, no they hung him in the same manner John McCain was tortured for days, just for starters.
Mr. Ishtiwi, 34, was a commander from a storied family of Hamas loyalists who, during the 2014 war with Israel, was responsible for 1,000 fighters and a network of attack tunnels. Last month, his former comrades executed him with three bullets to the chest.
Adding a layer of scandal to the story, he was accused of moral turpitude, by which Hamas meant homosexuality. And there were whispers that he had carved the word zulum wronged into his body in a desperate kind of last testament.
Anyway, you reap what you sow.

About That Wall
If walls are un-Christian then why do you think Charle Magne and Pope Leo III built the walls?
The answer to keep out Muslim invaders who took Italy in the late 9th century and forced the entire Church to either take refuge in France or stay and endure the siege and fall of Constantinople.
Pope Francis: Tear Down the Vatican Wall! https://t.co/1SQuJZIdQy pic.twitter.com/XYOTgDcti5— John Nolte (@NolteNC) February 18, 2016
The Vatican was not reclaimed until 1379 during the Norman Crusades.
Ironic, no? That the wall was built to keep out terrorists? And all the candidates want to change policy to keep out both terrorists and unlawful immigrants.
The more things change..... the more times people have to protect themselves from Islamic Terrorists?
Anyway I have a hard time picturing Pope Leo III as a non Christian.
The Vatican wall should remain, as a reminder of the past, of what it took for Christians to regain their freedom and religion from Islamic expansionist oppression.

Fox Lake Officer Who Caused Massive Manhunbt Killed Himself in Staged Suicide
You know my question at the time was he was two days from retirement, some dudes smoking crack, drive right on on by. Why screw it all up on the last day of duty over some crackheads? I dunno.
I also thought the response was over the top. Militaristic but what do you expect from Chicago? And even then they found nothing.
In September, Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, a police officer in Fox Lake, Ill., radioed in one morning to say he was pursuing three possible suspects. A short time later, he was found with a fatal gunshot wound, sparking a massive manhunt that sent scores of police officers and federal agents sweeping through the area.And the scam continued after his death.
Two months later, however, police say that Gliniewicz, a man known to many as G.I. Joe, was not among the handful of police officers shot and killed by a suspect this year. Instead, he was among the much larger number of Americans who take their own lives each year.
Gliniewiczs death was a carefully staged suicide, Cmdr. George Filenko of the task force said during a news conference Wednesday morning. We have determined that this suicide was the end result of extensive criminal acts that Gliniewicz had committed.
...Filenko said the investigation showed that Gliniewicz had stolen funds in his role with the Fox Lake police department, saying that police found incriminating statements, deleted messages and forged signatures during the process.

Ministry of Irony: German Open Borders Activist Litterally Stabbed in The Back by Muslim Immigrants
A high profile open borders activist was nearly killed in Dresden. He was attack by six or more Arabs and stabbed in the back outside a Pizzeria. (Stop Hate Crimes)Its nice to be tolerant....
(OK here we go)
Twenty-nine year old Julius G. involved himself in political activism while reading his degree in industrial engineering Technical University of Dresden. Now he may have fallen victim to his own politics, as the refugee advocate was attacked while waiting for friends in Dresdens Neustadt, known as the citys left wing, or alternative quarter.
Germanys Bild-Zeitung reports police were called to Pizza 5 on Alaunstraße on Saturday after a group of six to eight men jumped the student in the early hours and stabbed him twice in the back, leaving him in a serious condition.
West-German Julius G. who has been a student in Dresden for five years told Bild: I dont know why I was attacked.Why was he attacked in the alternative quarter? Gee I don't have any idea why Muslims would attack and attempt to murder someone in the Left Wing Alternative Quarter?
I waited opposite the pizzeria for two friends who were buying something to eat after we had left the pub and were on our way home.
The student didnt think the motivation was robbery, as nothing was taken after the stabbing.
Let me think........ Um it may come to me.......
Oh yeah, maybe they thought he was Gay or Jewish? I know i'm going way way out on a limb there.

Ministry of Irony: Syrian Christians Flee ISIS' Intolerance For Sweden Where They Encounter More Muslim Intolerance
Christians fleeing the Genocide in Syria arrive in Sweden where Swedish Muslims, many refugees themselves seeking asylum promptly persecute the newly arrived Christians.
After being threatened and harassed on a number of occasions the small group of Christians, which are likely to have been Syrian Christian refugees fleeing the Islamic State, packed and left fearing for their own safety. A spokesman for the government migration agency responsible for the centre they had been staying in said:So if these Muslims were fleeing radicalized Islam what would their version of persecution of Christians be, the Kinder Gentler Radical Islam?They dared not stay. The atmosphere became too intimidating. And they got no help They chose themselves to organize new address and moved away without our participation because they felt a discomfort.Remarkably, the incident has not been reported to the police. Instead migration agency officials visited the home to provide information about Swedish law to the fundamentalist Islamists there in the hope of preventing them from acting unkindly towards Christians again.

Dread Pirate Robert's Lucky Day
So I'm thinking Ross Ulbricht just won the appeal of his conviction.
The federal government became owners of one of the biggest troves of Bitcoin, thanks to seizing millions of dollars in the digital currency from criminals associated with the online black market Silk Road.Oooops!
Two federal agents who led the probe allegedly decided they wanted some of the money for themselves, according to a new federal court documents.
...The agents are: Carl Force, 46 years old, of Baltimore, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Shaun Bridges, 32, of Laurel, Maryland, a special agent with the U.S. Secret Service.
Force was a lead agent in the case and was the main investigator communicating with Ulbricht. Force is charged with wire fraud, theft of government property, money laundering and conflict of interest.
Bridges was the computer forensics expert on the case. He is charged with wire fraud and money laundering.
Force allegedly set up fake online personas and tried to extort money from Ulbricht, including once trying to get $250,000 from him in exchange for not providing information to federal investigators, the criminal complaint says.
Using the online persona "French Maid," Force did succeed in getting $100,000 in Bitcoin from Ulbricht, which Force deposited in his personal accounts, the federal complaint says. He later used a series of Bitcoin and personal U.S. dollar transactions, including a $235,000 wire transfer to an account in Panama, to launder the stolen money, prosecutors allege in the complaint.
According to prosecutors, Force also used his position as an executive at a digital currency exchange called CoinMKT, in which he was an investor, to seize accounts of customers. He transferred $297,000 in illegally-seized digital currency to his personal accounts, prosecutors allege in the criminal complaint.
Bridges allegedly stole $820,000, using a series of wire transfers to move Bitcoin that earlier had been stolen from Silk Road in early 2013 and deposited in a Japanese bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, according to prosecutors. Two days later, Bridges signed the government's warrant to seize millions of dollars in bitcoin from Mt. Gox accounts.
They say it takes a crook to catch a crook. Its well known that a person can't be prosecuted with malice. I'd say extortion constitutes malice. Also law enforcement can not break the law to secure a conviction.
Anyway if Ross Ulbricht's conviction isn't thrown out over this then I'll eat your hat.

Iraqi Immigrant Ahmed Al-Jumaili Murdered Reward For Killers
This pisses me off.
Muslim Iraqi immigrant was shot and killed by an unknown gunman in Dallas, Texas, as he watched his first snowfall.Of course the leftists and Muslim activists are claiming its a hate crime because he was Muslim.
Ahmed Al-Jumaili, 36, and his brother are reported to have run outside of their apartment after midnight on Thursday to look at the snow, while his wife Zahraa took pictures. He was then shot in a hail of gunfire that left eight bullets lodged in a parked truck at the scene.
Cotner told CNN Al-Jumaili shouted Im hit before running back to his apartment. He died later at Texas Health Presbyterian hospital in Dallas.
Officers havent excluded the possibility that the murder is a hate crime, Cotner told the Dallas Morning News, and police are said to be working tirelessly on the case.
But many have condemned the lack of media coverage initially given to the story in the US, expressing their outrage under the hashtag #MuslimLivesMatter.
My opinion is it was just some punk thugs looking to take advantage and rob Ahmed for some crack money.
Here is a video of two men sought int eh murder with two enlarged stills.
As an American I'm outraged that this man fled Iraq only to be murdered by two street thugs.

Taxpayer Funded Swedish Expert on 'Islamophobia' Joins ISIS
Noted Islamophobe Abdul Samad al Swedi
We can't blame lack of a job: he had a job as a Muslim activist, paid by the generous Swedish state. So I blame the you, the 'phobes:
(Poorly translated)The Muslim the convert Michael Skråmo, in 2009 were invited to SVT [ed note: Swedish national TV], where he told Swedish viewers how Muslim phobia (Islamophobia) and hatred was spread around Europe. Now he has traveled to Syria with his wife and children to wage war for the brutal terrorist organization Islamic state.So, what was his taxpayer funded message?
The 29-year-old Swede, who today calls himself "Abdul Samad al Swedi", grew up in Gothenburg. He converted to Islam during a field trip to Egypt about ten years ago and has since been engaged in a series of tax-funded Muslim organizations.
Last fall, he decided to go a step further with his faith. Skråmo took his wife and four small children and traveled to Syria to fight for the terror group IS, engaged in genocide, mass rape and commit other types of bestial abuse of non-Muslim minorities in the region.
Previously, the Swede have been heavily involved to counter what he described as a misleading picture of Muslims as violent fanatics. In an episode of SVT debate, which can be seen on Youtube, he attacked the malicious picture of Muslims spread in Europe.Ironically enough, the above 'misleading picture of Muslims as violent fanatics' was posted by the guy making the accusation.
So, I'm banning him for being a 'phobe!

UAE Adds CAIR to Its List of Specially Designated Terrorist Entities
Two Islamic groups in the U.S. that portray themselves as moderate and mainstream expressed shock to learn at the weekend that the United Arab Emirates had included them in a list of terrorist organizations.Ibrahim Cooper was of course outraged by this striking example of Islamophobia.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which describes itself as Americas largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization, and the Muslim American Society (MAS), which calls itself a religious community service organization, were among more than 80 groups whose designation was approved by the UAE cabinet and announced on Saturday.
Others listed included al-Qaeda and its various affiliates in Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and North Africa; the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL); the Muslim Brotherhood and several of its U.K.- and Europe-based affiliates; and some Iranian-backed radical Shiite groups.

Two Stop the Violence organizers allegedly beat one of their colleagues so severely that he vomited blood and was left unconscious in critical condition.Named Emanuel?
Nikole Ardeno and Emanuel Velez, both 30, accused their former roommate of stealing their property, and allegedly punched and kicked him in the street until he had seizures. Arrested moments later, Ardeno was still wearing the same Stop the Violence T-shirt she had on the night before when she coordinated a march protesting two recent shootings, Washington Police Chief Chris Luppino said.
The victim, Joshua Magraff, also is a community organizer with the anti-violence group, and shared an apartment with the suspects until recently.

ISIS Murders Iraqi Muslima For Describing Them as Barbaric
Its pretty ironic that in an effort to quell speech about ISIS barbarism ISIS resorts to, you guessed it, barbarism. Um Yeah.
The United Nations says militants with the Islamic State group have publicly killed a rights lawyer in the Iraqi city of Mosul after finding her guilty of apostasy in a self-styled Islamic court.Samira was so far as I can tell a fairly devout and modest Sunni woman.
The UN Assistance Mission in Iraq says Samira Saleh al-Naimi was seized from her home on Sept. 17 after allegedly posting messages on Facebook that were critical of the militants' destruction of places of worship in Mosul.
The key here I believe is publicly criticizing ISIS. Especially in a forum where there are Kuffir present. In many interpretations of Sharia its unlawful for Muslims to criticize other Muslims in front of the Kuffar, so that Islam don't look bad in front of the Kuffar.
It must be done privately. Which is a pretty good excuse for any despots that might, you know, slip through the cracks. Apparently in the ME its not so much if a despot will slip through, its more a question of which despot.
But probably ISIS would have murdered her anyway even if she had spoken out in a forum other than the internet.
Remember no one kills more Muslims than al-Qaeda, the Taliban and ISIS. Hands down, nobody.

BrightSource Energy Creates Bird Death Star
Brightstar's new solar plant fries turkeys in midair!
Workers at a state-of-the-art solar plant in the Mojave Desert have a name for birds that fly through the plant's concentrated sun rays "streamers," for the smoke plume that comes from birds that ignite in midair.Brightstar explains, "And every one of those technologies(coal) has a long list of pros and cons."
Federal wildlife investigators who visited the BrightSource Energy plant last year and watched as birds burned and fell, reporting an average of one "streamer" every two minutes, are urging California officials to halt the operator's application to build a still-bigger version.
The investigators want the halt until the full extent of the deaths can be assessed. Estimates per year now range from a low of about a thousand by BrightSource to 28,000 by an expert for the Center for Biological Diversity environmental group.
Or, "With God as our witness! We thought turkeys could fly!"

Islamic State of Losers Lose Homs Syria: Rebellion Crushed
End result of all that terrorist red on red infighting. Assad takes the birthplace of the rebellion.
Syria Direct:AMMAN: An agreement to allow safe passage to rebels and civilians out of Old Homs has left regime opponents divided, with some saying the battle will move to the provinces and others yearning to move on with their lives after two years of a strangling encirclement of their districts.Pussies! You were so close to achieving martyrdom?
The estimated 2,500 fighters and citizens inside the 13 rebel-controlled districts of Homs agreed in principle on Friday to hand over to the government its territory in Syrias third-largest city. A UN-supervised departure is scheduled to begin this week, Homs Governor Talal al-Barazi told AFP on Monday, adding that the ceasefire is holding.
With a ferocious government military campaign in recent weeks and gnawing hunger from a regime blockade in place since June 2012 that allowed almost no movement in or out, regime opponents said they had little choice but to surrender.
We must put ourselves in the place of the people who lived in the siege and saw their children die from hunger, they saw their brothers die because of infected wounds due to shelling, Suhaib Ali, a Homs-based FSA spokesman, told Syria Direct.
Rebels inside had little choice given the neglect from the political opposition and the international community, Ali said.
What would you do? he asked.

Ministry of Irony: Radical Cleric Calls ISIS "The Dogs Of Hellfire"
When is a Radical Islamist too radical for a Radical Islamist?
When they are such butchers that even Muslim's refuse to live under them.
I tried my utmost in private and in public to repel all harm from all those affiliated with Jihad and the people of Jihad, however some of them are drowning in falsehood, evil and misguidance. Their main priority is to ruin the Jihad and not to do good towards it. The onus these words should be held by the command of the Islamic State of Iraq and their branch in the land of Ash-Shaam (Syria).Ha the irony is dripping. The solution to extremist killers is more killing. Islam the one trick pony.
It has become clear for me with certainty and without a shadow of doubt that this group with its military and Islamic leadership, and whose actions testify that they are the dogs of Hellfire. And they are most deserving of the description of the Prophet (peace the peace and blessings be upon Him): They kill the people of Islam and they leave the people of the idols [idol worshippers]. By Allah! If I live to see them, I will kill them like the people of Aad were killed.

In the last three years, rebels fighting President Bashar Assad have taken control of swaths of northern Syria. In some areas, local councils were set up. Activists hoped for a freer future.

al-Qaeda Bombs Iranian Embassy
Let me be the first to condemn this horrific act of terrorism.
At least 22 people have been killed and more than 140 injured in a double suicide bombing outside the Iranian embassy in the Lebanese capital Beirut.But I'm pretty sure this was, you know, an inside job?
There are conflicting reports as to whether the Iranian cultural attache survived the attack or was killed.
Iran is a major backer of the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah, which has sent fighters to Syria to back the government of Bashar al-Assad.
TV images showed burning cars, bodies on the street and damaged buildings.
The Iranian ambassador to Beirut had earlier confirmed cultural attache Ebrahim Ansari's death to Hezbollah's al-Manar TV, saying it was not clear if he had been in the embassy itself or one of the residential buildings nearby.
Director Oliver Stone's son says 9/11 was an inside job, Hezbollah are not terrorists, and Irans president is simply misunderstood'
Does Iran not have a motive to bomb itself then blame it on al-Qaeda in order to gain sympathy? I'm just asking questions here people, just asking questions.
This is a clear escalation of the the Iran vs Saudi proxy war going on in Syria. Saudi Arabia recently cut off diplomatic ties with the US over giving Iran too much slack in Syria.
Not to mention the large faction of the Syrian Sunni resistance who are strait up al-Qaeda. The West, Russia and Iran increasingly driven together by a common enemy, an enemy that Syria and Iran were quite satisfied with then they fight the US in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Oh the sweet irony of it all.

Rossi Second and Still in Championship Lead
Reigning World Champion Valentino Rossi finished a fighting second in today's Czech Republic Grand Prix after a determined 22-lap race. The Italian had a close battle on his YZR-M1 machine with championship Honda rivals Sete Gibernau and Max Biaggi, ultimately holding on to finish in second, 3.514 seconds behind Gibernau. Rossi's team-mate Carlos Checa also had a tough fight throughout the race to a final sixth place.
After an unfortunate start Rossi slotted into fourth place at the end of lap one, with Checa just inside the top ten riders. After a slight scare at the end of the first lap as his wheel touched the trackside grass causing a serious wobble, Rossi went on to pass Honda riders Alex Barros and Max Biaggi in the ensuing laps into second position. Meanwhile team-mate Checa entered a fight to stay in the top ten as Makoto Tamada (Honda) and Kenny Roberts (Suzuki) closed in.
With Barros out of the picture having crashed out after 14 laps, Rossi made a beeline for the lead. The Yamaha rider managed to pass Gibernau on lap 17, then the two swapped places no less than six times as Max Biaggi crept up close behind the duelling pair into third. Finally it was not to be Rossi's day, as a worn rear tyre meant he was unable to make another steady pass on Gibernau. Checa won his final personal duel by holding off Colin Edwards' Honda, passing him to finish sixth.
Rossi's second place leaves him with a 17-point cushion over Gibernau, 184 to 167. Biaggi sits third on 158 with Edwards on 104. Checa is currently seventh but just four points shy of fifth place in the order.
VALENTINO ROSSI (2nd, 44'06.994)
"We tried! The race was at a top level, the rhythm was very good and it was a great fight. I tried to follow Sete and understand a good point to overtake. With five or six laps to go I made my attack. But we had lost grip with the rear tyre and I had lost a little bit too much time. In the earlier part of the race the bike was good under acceleration but not later, and then it also became difficult under braking. When our bike loses rear grip it becomes very difficult to stop. In the end Sete was too strong and had a better rhythm than mine. It was impossible to beat him. Anyway I'm quite happy, we've worked well but we need to get our bike to 100% for the whole race next time. Now we have two days of testing where we will look at solving that."
CARLOS CHECA (6th, 44'24.661)
"The conditions were the same for me as everyone else but we had some limitations because of the lack of set-up time. I started quite well in the big group at the front, and the lap time was good but then the rear grip dropped down and I got involved with Edwards. His bike was a little bit faster than mine so that made it difficult to pass him on the brakes, as I was not close to him on the corner entry. One time I tried and ran a little bit out but I was able to pass him eventually, as he had a problem that slowed him down. We need to keep working but I was pleased that the lap time was good at the beginning."
"All in all a good result. I think that we had a good race and a good fight to the very end for the win with Valentino. We are still leading the championship and so we are still going forward. We are testing after this race for two days starting tomorrow, with a new fairing and some electronics. For Carlos his result is not so bad, considering that both riders had a very short time in the dry to set up the bikes. Normally this year we have needed as much time as possible because Valentino has not so much experience on this bike."

Descent laptop, but too many pre-installed apps (and it doesn't come with system CD) 04/12/2010
This review is from: Lenovo Laptop G550(29583RU) Intel Pentium dual-core T4400 (2.20 GHz) 4 GB Memory 250 GB HDD Intel GMA 4500M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
The laptop itself is ok.
This laptop has some issues with certain wireless network routers (google it and you'll find it has some weird incompatibilities). Some blame certain types of routers (D-Link) and some blame the pre-installed software Lenovo put on it. I think it's both.
Other Thoughts:
Lenovo laptops come with far too many pre-installed applications. So I wanted to wipe out the laptop on day 1 and re-install the OS but Lenovo doesn't ship the CD with the laptop. So I had to call and request it, and they charged me $10 to ship me the Windows 7 CD.

Baghdad said British and American aircraft killed several people, including women and children, when they hit houses on the outskirts of the city. "The criminals bombed a number of residential areas ... in Abu Flus, Basra airport and the northern Rumala (oil) field," the official news agency INA said. "The indiscriminate and savage bombings have led to the martyrdom of more civilians, and civil defence units rushed to the sites to search for bodies of martyrs and to rescue the wounded and take them to hospitals."
A CNN producer in Iraq said he had seen at least 10 houses destroyed or damaged, though he did not see any civilian casualties. He said that he could see no air defence sites in the area where the damage had been done.
The Pentagon said that US carrier-based aircraft attacked an Iraqi missile site and air defence installations north of Basra yesterday morning after Iraqi aircraft entered the southern no-fly zone, though it had no information on casualties. But it confirmed that some of the laser-guided bombs had missed their target, and said it was assessing bomb damage reports. Britain denied its aircraft were involved.
The claim and counter-claim came as the US said its forces had been involved in at least five incidents yesterday in the northern and southern no-fly zone.Reuse content

Jered Weaver says he would accept a gay teammate
[caption id="attachment_121342" align="alignright" width="243"] (Getty Images/Jamie Squire)[/caption]
Angels pitcher Jered Weaver appeared with his brother, former big leaguer Jeff Weaver, on a new Ustream show hosted by former major leaguers Robert Fick and Dmitri Young. In their first show, which aired on Tuesday, Fick broached the topic of gays in the majors. (The discussion begins about the 17:00-minute mark.)
While Fick said at his first didn't want to have a gay teammate -- "It would be uncomfortable for me" -- both Weaver brothers were supportive.
Said Jered: "If you're hitting .300 with 40 and 140, bring 'em on, you know? I think it would just be a shock at first, but it's still your teammate in the long run. They worked just as hard as us to get up to where we're at."
The conversation was sparked by former Angel Torii Hunter's comments to the Los Angeles Times last month. Hunter, who said later the comments were taken out of context, said "For me, as a Christian … I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right. It will be difficult and uncomfortable."

Baby, baby, baby, oh no. Justin Bieber has had an interesting week to say the least, and now it just got a bit more serious. The 18-year-old pop star was pulled over by police while he was taking a joyride in West Hollywood on Tuesday (Nov. 13) at around 6:30 p.m.
Biebs was driving a white Ferrari around town when he was pulled over by an LA County Sheriff's Deputy, TMZ reports. He was ticketed for the incident, but it hasn't been reported what law he broke to earn him the citation.
At least Bieber didn't have any incriminating passengers with him. Following his recent break-up with Selena Gomez, Bieber had been spotted spending some quality time with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin. Fortunately, not a woman was in sight during this little incident, as TMZ reports "he had a guy friend riding shotgun."
Apparently Bieber wasn't too broken up about the situation at the time, since he posted the above Instagram picture of police car lights outside of his Ferrari windows. The image has since been deleted.

A grandfather from Kent who is accused of selling parts for Iranian missiles will be extradited to the US within 10 days, his lawyer said yesterday.
Christopher Tappin, 64, a retired businessman, failed in his latest attempt to block the move when the European Court of Human Rights refused to halt his transfer pending a further hearing of his case in Europe.
American authorities want him to stand trial over claims he was involved in a conspiracy to export the parts with another UK citizen, Robert Gibson, and an American, Robert Caldwell. After he was arrested by US authorities, Mr Gibson agreed, without Mr Tappin knowing, to co-operate with an investigation. Mr Tappin, who had a 40-year career in the export business, says he is the victim of entrapment.
David Cameron faces calls to address the US-UK extradition treaty at a meeting with Barack Obama next month. Mr Tappin's lawyer, Karen Todner, said: "We truly hope that the UK Government will see this case as an example of the gross injustice to British citizens by the UK/USA extradition treaty."Reuse content

Black Lagoon was really the first of the fringe-y mercenary genre of anime. Or at least, the first to get it right. Combining a likable cast of pirates with an intriguing backdrop and some of the best bang-up fighting you can get, Black Lagoon is a highly watchable, highly entertaining anime.
1) Great Cast-Anime like Black Lagoon tend to treat female characters as either useless or tits with guns. In comparable titles like Jormungand and Phantom, many of the female characters are treated as nothing more than bewbs. While Revy is wearing revealing clothing, she maintains a very unfemale-like character throughout the series and fits right in with the boys. She has a lot of things going on in her head and very little of her background is known, lending a certain air of mystery. Her relationship with Rock is also very hard to pinpoint. While there might be a tiny bud of something akin to romance, we're not led to believe either way because the characters hide it so well. The closest we get is sharing the light on the butt of a cigarette, and the emphasis on this is actually very memorable and thought provoking, bringing the audience to question the characters fighting as maybe something more.
Revy is such a great character to get to know and while she can be an overbearing bitch and a complete psychopath, the question of how a person can become like her is in the air and the series seems to want to explore that concept, though Revy's character won't let any progress go forward. The fact that Rock is the only character who seems to be able to break into her shell reveals a lot about Rock as a person, as well as his relationship with Revy. He cares about her more than anyone ever has, and neither of them seems able to realize it.
Rock himself is a really good character. Usually the outcast is the protagonist who gets shit on and that's no different in Black Lagoon. But Rock is actually useful and while he's not the greatest asset to the team, he manages to get them out of some binds. He's the more human character of the group, disturbed by the killings and especially disturbed by the team taking charge of a kidnapped kid. He's there to add tension and be a polar opposite, but he doesn't become so forcefully different that it's painful to watch. He's part of this new world, but he's also civil. A gentleman pirate if you may.
Dutch is the apparent leader, though he's not given a lot of thought. He's intelligent at times, bloodthirsty at others, but he also seems to hold some compassion. He's a more violent version of Rock. Benny meanwhile is just there. He's never given much screen time and serves as the tech guy.
The series' emphasis is on Revy and Rock. Halfway through it gives Revy time to especially shine when facing the maid killer Roberta, another tragic anti-hero. Once again, the series treats her as a total badass. The maid outfit gives the outward appearance of prissiness but inside, she's a murderer, a tragic murderer assimilating into the real world. The series does the same thing with Hotel Moscow's Balalaika, who is totally badass. It's nice to see a series where no female character is totally useless and all are…flat out scary.
The entire cast is well thought out, the bad guys are cool. It's just a really well thought out series of characters.
2) Stupidity With Limits-Black Lagoon has its dumb moments. The Roberta section is long-winded and completely ridiculous, but at the same time, it's so freaking cool you don't care. There are some side characters introduced later on in the series who serve as comic relief, but they all have a purpose and some of the ridiculous things that happen (a European getaway driver smoking pot and driving through the DMZ) are outright hilarious. But the series limits it's stupidity. There are tons of really great, humorous moments, but not enough to be overbearing. It balances a dark, nihilistic viewpoint and depressing characters with a sense of hilarity. And being able to balance those is really tricky. Look at Jormungand. No balance whatsoever. It has tons of serious moments then a random comedy moment that throws off the audience. Black Lagoon balances it; and damn well.
3) Playing with the Real World-Black Lagoon manages to be a thriller in the real world without using tons of fake places and creating fake tensions. The island of Roanuper is a great idea, a place where all the lowest of the low come together. The Russian mob, the Triads, and random mercenaries all converge here. The series takes place in the Pacific Ocean and uses places in the Philippines and some random islands as the setting. This setting is both beautiful and enjoyable. Scenes of island jungle and beautiful waters keep the show watchable and makes you feel like you're on a vacation. By playing with real life organizations and throwing in tons of references and historical things, it gives it a sense of realism; almost akin to a Hollywood movie. By doing all these things, the series comes across as so much more enjoyable. Many comics, movies, and anime would rather create tensions and create countries to have these tensions. Black Lagoon knows how to manage the real world with the cartoon world.
4) Killing for Killing's Sake-The series' isn't a ho-hum shoot 'em up akin to The Expendables or Commando. It has substance. As I said before, Revy is plagued with all kinds of problems, so is Roberta. The killing and fighting in the series can sometimes be a little over the top and violent but there's a theme running underneath about why these people kill and what it all means. The series is not completely existential and doesn't ramble on, but it does acknowledge that there is a certain shame to killing and there are so many circumstances that turn a person into a Revy. Revy is a complete badass on the outside, but on the inside we know she's an emotional wreck, hiding all kinds of secrets with the blood of her enemies. It's that kind of writing that creates compelling characters and reason to keep watching. Killers are boring to watch when written as murder machines. The first action scene is cool, the second meh, the third is when an audience wants to walk away. A killer needs a reason to kill. In Commando it was the taking of his daughter. In the Expendables it was about money. But that's not good enough. They need a reason to kill, they need a reason they can kill, and they need regret. Human characteristics like this help the audience not only sympathize with the character, but also grow to realize why he or she kills. The series delves into these ideas subtly while overtly showing the tragedy that comes about killing, especially in the Roberta story arc. While you may not have thought much about it, there was still a sense of loss of innocence in Roberta. She became a soldier, she gave it all up, she tried to create a new life for herself and be a normal girl, but wound up being thrown right back into killing all over again. There is more to the series than a bunch of badass's shooting at each other. And that is what makes Black Lagoon different from all its contemporaries.
1) Nazi Arc-While the Nazi arc was a pretty good throwback to old style exploration movies and Clive Cussler novels, it broke up the story with lots of flashbacks to the submarine's crew. This was the original reason I quit the series; it just broke things up too much. I can appreciate the attempt to tell a story but the series never relies on flashbacks to tell story again and the story of what happened in the sub is told by Revy very briefly. The entire flashback seems pointless and pads the story out rather than provide any sort of useful content. Some may have enjoyed this arc but I felt it was the weakest in the first season.
2) Opening-The opening sequence is bad. The music isn't bad but the damn lyrics are so awful I had to skip the opening every time just to keep from laughing. The opening is supposed to be kind of serious and lead you into this hopeless world of killing and finding morality but it instead is broken Engrish with pointless cursing and questionable lyrics.
Black Lagoon is definitely one of the best adult anime out there. It combines all sorts of good stuff to create a compellingly watchable and entertaining feast. While the Nazi arc failed to deliver much, the rest of the series is a great piece of character development on the part of Revy and Rock while it's also a beautiful and well written story about a ragtag group of pirates and all their crazy adventures. It's sometimes off-the-wall, but balances that with ideas on morality and a certain sense of realism many anime lack. It's fantastic stuff and a must watch.
