White Chocolate Peppermint Mousse
Whether eaten in a chocolate cup, a trifle, a buche de noel or a charlotte, you cannot go wrong with white chocolate peppermint mousse. It is the perfect filling for any dessert around the holidays. Get creative - fill pies, cakes, cream puffs, doughnuts or any vessel you can find and enjoy!
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups heavy cream, very cold
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup peppermint or candy cane, chopped
- In a small microwaveable bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Melt in the microwave, 40 seconds at a time until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth. Be careful when doing this as chocolate can burn quickly, particularly white chocolate.
- Add about 1/2 cup of the cream to the white chocolate mixture and the peppermint extract and stir to combine.
- In a larger cold mixing bowl, pour the remaining cream along with the white chocolate cream mixture. Using a whisk or handheld mixer, whip the mixture to smooth but firm peaks. Be careful not to over whip as the mousse can break and have a grainy appearance.
- Fold in the chopped peppermint candy.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set the mousse in the refrigerator to chill until ready to use in the dessert of your choice.

Any suggestions on what I should be looking for in a new MacBook. It will be used for regular Internet use, storing photos and music and I want to get into Recording music. I honestly have no idea what I'm looking for so any help would be great! Looking to spend 1000-1400
For most day to day stuff, you don't need the power most MacBooks have. If recording, how many tracks and what kind of interfaces are you looking at, if any? That'll really start to dictate what you want to look at. I have a 13" macbook pro with retina display, very pretty but mainly to use some software at work.
First things first, are you a student in high school or college/university? They offer decent discounts for students. Secondly, the MacBook air is good for media consumption, not media creation due to their small size and not much storage. The MacBook Pro is decent for this... I'm typing from a 2-year old MBP right now. Unless you're into photography and processing, I wouldn't spring for the Retina display right now though... too expensive and the standard screen is still surprisingly adequate. The only thing to keep in mind, the current generation of MacBook Pro is almost two years old... I would expect to see new ones released in the Summer. If you can hold off for a bit, it's good to wait, but if you can't don't sweat it, the current generation is still very good.
Ill just be dabbling with recording. Adding drum loops etc. what is adequate as far as hard drive, and processing speed? It's pretty sad I've been using my iphone for all my electronic needs and I'm getting fed up!
(Edited) Lots of variables here, but your price range is going to take you into used I think. Any 2012 or newer MacBook Pro with an i7 processor (I recommend looking for the QUAD core i7), 8+ GB RAM, and a 500+ GB hard drive will be decent. Retina isn't necessary, and there were some concerns or issues regarding Retina screen reliability on some of the first MacBook Pro Retinas ("some screens," from certain parts suppliers for the first 2012 models, but it seems Apple seriously fixed the quality woes since then in all their current new products). Again, that's per your price range, and my idea of a robust enough machine to keep you happy for a while. Older/lesser specs will work, but you can quickly outgrow that, and not really save $ by going there anyway. I'd gladly use less/older if I already had it, got it cheap from friend/family, etc but wouldn't buy in below that. Also, there are additional gear costs to make it work, I.e. software, a hardware interface. It's possible to use an iPad, but can't advise you there yet... Just got one and haven't geared it up yet. I see lots of options though, might meet your needs, maybe check that out... About to check out the Line 6 stuff for iPad soon.
No matter which route you go, look at a refurbished Mac. You'll save hundreds and it will be just as good as factory-fresh products.
Less customization options, but if you can find the right machine, you'll save a ton. However, savings are comparable to a new machine with a student discount. If you're not a student, this is the best way to go. If you are a student, I'd recommend buying new.
Depends what you're using. Macbook Pro is best for processor intensive software (Video, Music). If you're recording, take a look at your needs. Are you recording an entire band at a time 16 or more tracks at a time, or are you just recording a few tracks at a time. If you're only doing a few tracks at a time, take a look at your basic macbooks. They're pretty robust and can do a lot of stuff. With either solution you'll need an external HD for backing up your recording though.
You would be surprised what you can do with the Air, I have one and it is fantastic. If you are concerned about storage, just buy an external harddrive for storing movies, music and photos. lowsound
Here's an interesting discussion on it... http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1566377 Also, that site is pretty good for other Mac related info.
I've got a 2010 15" MacBook Pro, I've done everything from playing video games to editing HD video (real-time rendering as well!!), and I've also recorded a full band mix with 14 individual tracks live with no hiccups. I'm also running on the original install of Snow Leopard, but I have upgraded the hard drive a few times for more storage - the tools built-in make it pretty easy. In short - any recent MBP should work for you. Peace, Greg
I've recorded 16 tracks, 3 hours of music on a 2008 macbook... I replaced the HD with and an SSD drive and maxed the memory to 4 gig. The interface was my Presonus SL board, firewire 400 to the mac and Presonus Capture was the recording software. Oh yeah, that same mac book was also hosting my iPad interfaced to the board... You can record successfully with a lot less than is often though... I would like to upgrade to an MBP with the monster bid display one day, mostly for the display.
Agree completely. The external HD's are cheap and you can also check out cloud storage. I have both for my MacBook Pro. My wife and I bought our youngest daughter a Macbook Air and it works great. The external CD Rom was only $30.00 and she only uses it to load older CDs for music and older software installations; so much is online now that we use the CD drive less and less.
Aside from the processor, you can upgrade the RAM or hard drive yourself for a fraction of what Apple charges to do it. But yeah, if you can use a student discount then go for it.
I haven't ever needed an external CD Rom for my Air. Everything is downloadable through the App Store. We have the 13", but that was my wife's choice, I would have been happy with the 11". lowsound
I just bought a MBP w/ 15" retina, 500GB drive, quad core something and IIRC, 16mb of memory. Dude said it was the current generation release of everything except the battery, which was one gen. older, meaning I won't get up to 8 hours of battery life (NBD for me). Basically he said it was a maxed out MBP that should have been about $2,800 new in box. Open box discount, $2K out the door. Somebody please tell me I didn't get screwed. I had no idea (well, little idea) of what I was doing. Made a quick decision as I needed to spend the money this year for the tax write off. FWIW - I know (I think) it's way more machine than what I need. It's for my business, I'm a realtor. But - I wanted the large retina to minimize eye fatigue (I'm 48, the eyes are fading quite a bit). I demoed between retina and non-retina over and over again the past few weeks, and it really made a difference to me. I need to have multiple applications running simultaneously, lots of web based database stuff, internet searches, map functions and so on, and I HATE waiting for pages to load, screens to refresh and so on. Lots of documents and hi-res pictures, video home tours as well, so storage was important. I think I might have over reacted and over bought - kind of a knee jerk reaction, I don't know. Do you think I'll know the difference compared to my 11" XP running Dell Inspiron circa 2004 w/ 40GB drive and who knows how much memory?
You did well on that, good deal. Not just for a MacBook, but for a laptop in general. If you need windows for anything, don't hesitate to make a partition and duel boot, MacBooks are the best windows laptop out there. lowsound
Really? Good to know. I had one guy tell me I was an idiot. He had spec'd out a Toshiba deal for me for like $500 bucks. Said it was more than I need. He also hates Apple though. He's not speaking to me now ;-) I have grown to hate windows, one of the reasons I went Mac. I have grown into an apple guy over the past year, having gone iPhone from blackberry, and then getting an iPad, which has changed my life. I use it as the ultimate personal organizer and reader. I also keep all my active contracts on it, no more paper for me. So anyway, I figured I'd just go full on Apple and live more or less in the same environment at all times.

A Glance at the Indian start-ups in 2015
A Glance at the Indian start-ups in 2015
Posted by
on December 24, 2015
Unicorns – This is a term used for start-ups that have a valuatoin of over $1 billion. Among the homegrown are Ola, InMobi, Quicker and MuSigma, who have brought about gigantic valuations, however, it's only time that will be indicative of the fact whether these high valuatoins will convert into real profits.
Food-technology – A combination of technology and food is a sure shot recipe for success. This industry took off in a big way with players like Swiggy, Food panda, Zomato, Tiny Owl, Inner Chef, iTiffin. They came into the limelight for all the wrong and right reasons. Although the segment became a hot topic with the increasing number of players, there were a few who got jolted with gastric problems combined with logistical challenges, discount wars and service issues.
Layoffs – Tiny Owl made headlines with its employees coming out on social media and expressing their discontent at the way the company took care of layoffs and got shut down overnight. Zomato also hogged its share in the limelight for laying off employees due to company reshuffle. Off late, Grab house too got rid of estimated 170 employees citing the reason that it was due to company restructuring.
Budget Hotels- Budget hotels were the largest news mongers with their large investment figures, fast paced expansion plans and innovative campaigns. OYO Rooms, ZO Rooms and Vista Rooms have proved to veteran players like Make My Trip and Yatra as to how they can tap into the huge budget hotel market of India.
Clashes- start-ups were caught amidst clashes as the founder of Housing.com being shown the door for his 'objectionable behaviour' with investors, customers and media. Housing.com's board asserted, 'his behaviour is not befitting of a CEO and is detrimental to the company'. Housing.com is a good example for all upcoming entrepreneurs regarding the relevance of maintaining good relations with all stakeholders, as well as investors.
Hyper local Delivery & Services- Medicines and groceries became hyper local. start-ups like Grofers, Pepper tap have taken daily grocery shopping online allowing everything to be present with a single mouse click. In the highly competitive and low margin market scenario, the space also witnessed the death of players like Local Banya.
Funding Frenzy to Cautiousness: This year also saw PE, VC 's and angel investors investing frantically in start-ups, however, by the year end their was a hint of cautiousness and brakes were applied to the pace at which funding was being given. Lex Fixel and his Tiger Global team single-handedly geared themselves towards sustainability in the start-up ecosystem.
Consolidation- Finally, start-ups paced their way towards consolidations with some leading names. They consolidated for sustenance, business growth or simply due to their investor's interests. Common floor and Quicker, Cartrade and Carwale were the top contenders in this space.
All in all, even though there has been a drastic shift in the startup ecosystem this year, the coming year looks quite promising for entrepreneurs as well as investors. Start-ups will be treading more cautiously, keeping their focus on sustainability, however, there are plenty of opportunities with a multitude of problems that remain to be resolved. Global investors are trying to get a share of the Indian start-up space. In 2016, the Indian start-ups are going to thrive with new entrepreneurs and investors coming about.

Intelligence report: Putin ordered effort to influence US election – Amazing how people used to laugh at my visions of Russia hijacking the US elections… http://www.drturi.com/trump-putin-the-cia-2016-elections-and-the-future-of-america/ –
that's a bold face lie, there is no proof the Russians hacked the election
hacking and influencing are two different things
if they did anything, they exposed the truth
you need to stop taking credit for events after they happen by saying you had predicted it
you are an idoit
"Amazing how people used to laugh at my visions of Russia hijacking the US elections…"
Still laughing, numbnutz.
Kindly show any iota of PROOF! This is a transparent ploy of the CIA/Obama?Clinton cabal to hijack the election.

In 2005, the leaders of three activist groups—Young People For, the League of Young Voters Education Fund, and the Movement Strategy Center—convened to address "the lack of collaboration and coordination within the [left-wing] youth movement." This brainstorming initiative gave rise to the creation of the Generational Alliance (GA), a collaboration of 22 national youth organizations dedicated to "building community and collective power for the emerging majority of young people of color, women, LGBTQ folks, and low-income communities—who usually don't have a seat at the table." Specifically, GA trains many staffers of its member organizations to develop the skills that are needed to "fill the leadership development gap" in the progressive movement; creates "cultural spaces" where "young progressive leaders" can advocate on behalf of "historically left-out, underrepresented communities"; and helps organizations "collaborate" more effectively on "advocacy issues they align with." The Generational Alliance's policy priorities include the following:
* GA supports the DREAM Act, legislation that would "make college accessible and affordable to undocumented students" who first came to the U.S. as minors, while also providing them with a "pathway-to-citizenship." * GA believes that "high-quality physical and mental health care, including full reproductive health services and prescription drugs, is a right and must be affordable and accessible to all." Toward that end, the Alliance supports "real health care reform" that would greatly "expand Medicaid," "extend dependent coverage to age 27," and provide government-funded healthcare premium subsidies to people earning as much as 400% of the Federal Poverty Level. * To promote "increased college access and affordability," GA endorses legislation that would earmark $40 billion in federal funds to increase Pell Grant awards; $3 billion to bolster college access and completion support programs for students; and $10 billion to help "under-funded" community colleges meet their expenses. It also backs federally funded programs designed to help students from "low-income families" increase their college graduation rates. * GA supports taxpayer-funded programs to train workers—particularly young people hailing from "from disadvantaged communities"—for "green jobs" in the "clean energy economy." "We need to get serious [about] switching from dirty coal and nuclear power to wind and solar energy," says GA. * GA supports the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), legislation that would deprive employees of the right to vote for or against the unionization of their workforce by means of a secret ballot. By GA's telling, EFCA would "give workers a fair and direct path to form unions through majority sign-up." * Asserting that "abstinence-only-until-marriage" education programs "don't work," GA supports the Responsible Education about Life Act—legislation that would provide $50 million in state grants for comprehensive sex and sexuality education in K-12 classrooms. * GA supports the Youth PROMISE Act, a five-year plan that would authorize $2.9 billion in annual federal spending on programs that address "the root causes of crime" by "investing in prevention and intervention rather than in after-the-fact prosecution and incarceration." Such initiatives would be built around "job training, education counselors, [and] drug rehab." * GA believes that the federal government should actively subsidize the housing costs of low-income people. The Alliance also demands that government do everything within its power to punish "predatory lenders and developers" who allegedly seek to exploit borrowers, particularly those from low-income and minority backgrounds. * GA's Healthy Jobs & Economy initiative maintains that all American workers should have "a right to paid sick days and a living family wage" as well as "the right to organize without fear." * GA believes that taxpayer funds should be used to ensure that "every young person in this country" can access "a high-quality, affordable education from pre-school through college." * GA contends that the U.S. can achieve "real national security" only by becoming "a respected and respectful member of the global community." To make this happen, says the Alliance, America must increase the amount of "strategic humanitarian relief" it offers to those in need, and must end its involvement in "torture and other human rights abuses." GA member groups include the Center for Progressive Leadership, the Drum Major Institute, Generation Progress (formerly Campus Progress), the League of Young Voters Education Fund, the NAACP Youth and College Division, the National Council of La Raza, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and the United States Student Association Foundation. For a comprehensive list of all GA member groups, click here. GA's executive director is Carmen Berkley, former new-media specialist at the AFSCME. Berkley has also served as president of the United States Student Association (in 2008), national field director of Choice USA, deputy director of field and turnout for the One Nation Working Together campaign, and regional field director for the NAACP. GA's communications coordinator is Ryane Ridenour, who formerly worked for the Women's Information Network and NARAL Pro-Choice America.

12 weeks
This is a 12-week training plan to complete leg 1 of the Canadian Death Race. I have run the CDR full solo 4 times (including a second place overall finish) and I have a 100% completion rate for my coached athletes. This plan is based on my personal experience and the athletes I have coached. If you run this plan, barring injury or unforeseen circumstances, you will finish the leg. If you don't, give me a call and we will make sure that you do. The Canadian Death Race is difficult but if you have some level of fitness and you complete this plan, you will complete the leg. I will also include a one hour, one on one call about the leg conditions, some advice on nutrition and hydration, some gear tips for the leg and some other information to make sure you finish it.

Definition - What does QualityStage mean?
QualityStage is a client server software tool used to improve data quality through a sequence of data cleansing mechanisms. QualityStage is part of the IBM Information Server and it appears as a major component within IBM's Infosphere DataStage.
QualityStage may also be called WebSphere QualityStage.
Techopedia explains QualityStage
QualityStage consists of a set of stages that provide a development environment to build data cleansing tasks called jobs. Large amounts of data can be processed using QualityStage's design components and stages.
The integrated modules in QualityStage that are used for data engineering are:
Investigation This module allows the investigation of structured data (such as in a database) to find patterns and detect abnormalities in sales data to detect fraud for example. It also would allow shopping patterns to be exposed and produce marketing intelligence from data mining.
Standardization Many databases contain incomplete records and other extraneous data; QualityStage can filter those out and reorganize the data to standardize all the records.
Matching This module is a run of match filters to identify/remove duplicates in order to optimize a record set.
Survivorship is a system which determines which records will be retained.
These can all be offered in real time as a web service so an organization can have moderation and standardization of data before it is used by utilizing any of the four modules listed.

Hmmmm. I have the same question, but I do not see an answer. That is my G1 is unlocked. I am using it on ATT. I need to do a hard reset, or at least change the Google account used with it as I want to use that one with my new EVO on Sprint. I don't see a way to change the Google account without doing a hard reset. Is there a method to do this? I would like to be able to continue to use my G1 on ATT without having to unlock it again.

The Lie about Yuppies Being Former Hippies: They were actually a creation of the 1% to discredit an activist generation and fight back the threat of 60s values
Posted by sillymickel in History on October 29, 2015
Reagan, Yuppy-Kay-Yo-Kay-Yay
Yuppies came in at the same time as Ronald Reagan into the White House and, indeed, exemplified much of what Reagan stood for. They were seen as greedy, over-achieving, materialistic, narcissistic, and societally and environmentally insensitive careerists.
"Love is all you need" turned into "Money is good!"
They were portrayed in film; one in particular that sought to delineate the attitudes of this character type was "Wall Street," in which Charlie Sheen plays the role of the Yuppie, mentored by the Fifties Generation character, Gekko, played by Michael Douglas. Together they give a portrayal of complete self-centeredness and insensitivity to the ways their Machiavellian strategies harm others or the environment. They are driven solely by a value that "Money Is Good!" — a slogan completely the opposite of the previous generation — the Sixties Generation — whose attitudes were expressed in lyrics like "I don't care too much for money; money can't buy me love" and "Love is all you need"; who bought and lived by books with titles such as How to Live on Nothing, The Greening of America, and Back to Eden; and whose most famous slogan was "Tune in, Turn on, Drop out"….
"Me Generation"
In any case, another term used for the Yuppie Generation was The "Me" Generation. Thus it was that from the late Sixties, early Seventies (the height of Vietnam-Era Youth's influence on society and culture) to the late Seventies and most of the Eighties — within a period of a mere decade — the prevailing, media-amplified cultural values of our society swung, pendulum-like, a hundred-and-eighty degrees from where they had been.
Matrix Manifest and The Big Lie
This change had a great deal to do with the efforts of the World-War-Two Generation — in total horror at the way their sons and daughters seemed to be reversing the values they had lived, and fought, for — to "take back" society. The WWII Generation did this by putting pressure, as well-to-do alumni, on universities and colleges across America to turn their curricula away from liberal arts and toward job-oriented curricula, and by using their positions of power in the media to influence the flow and content of the information to be fed to the mainstream public. For example, in the early Seventies, the WWII Generation's money and power directed the press to declare that a "conservative backlash" was occurring in America, when in fact the opposite was occurring.
But eventually their "Big Lie" tactics won out so that people began to believe and then to create what they had been repeatedly told … the opposite view having, as part of the strategy, been censored in the media.
Thus, the Yuppies were the creation of the WWII Generation in their attempt to reverse the course of society that their own daughters and sons, as "Sixties Youth," had put it on.
Scapegoating an Entire Generation
Coinciding with and supporting the strategy just described, and because the World-War-Two Generation during the Eighties were still in their triumphant phase — a psychohistorical term meaning they were at the stage of their life in late adulthood in which they had pretty much gained control of the reins of society — they furthered their cause by managing to plant a fantasy in the collective consciousness of American culture concerning the origins of Yuppies which persists to this day.
Designer generation
In obvious denial (again, their predominant defensive posture) of the fact that they had helped to "create" the Yuppies and so of the similarities between their own values and those of the Yuppies, as exemplified by the similarities between the (World-War-Two-era) Reagan-Bush political agenda and that of the Yuppies — who indeed helped elect Reagan and Bush — yet aware of the criticism that their very own values, taken to the Yuppie extremes, was generating in the independent press as well as the negative publicity there about the cocaine use of the Yuppies, the World-War-Two Generation saw an opportunity not only to defeat but also to "get back" at their opponents, the Sixties Generation, by ridiculing them.
In the predominant World-War-Two Generation fashion of scapegoating (the accompaniment of denial), which they had been directing from the outset at the Sixties Generation (who had of course incurred the wrath of the WWII Generation by opposing and confronting them on the Vietnam War in sometimes harsh and hostile ways), the Yuppies, with their cocaine use, were portrayed in the WWII-Generation-paid-for media as former Sixties hippies who had simply grown older but — consistent with their alleged "narcissism" — were still selfish, only now, materially so, thus the appellation, The "Me" Generation.
So the Vietnam-era or Sixties Generation began being denigrated in the press with the accusation, "The 'Me' Generation," and Sixties values were also denigrated — the scapegoating of the Sixties Generation continuing — despite the fact that it was a different age group in society, the younger Yuppies, who were actually the ones triggering the attack.
Opposing Worlds
The hypocrisy of the charge becomes even more blatant when considering that the values of the Sixties Generation included such selfless acts as risking, sometimes incurring, violence and personal harm, jail time, and a lower standard of living for the sake of their idealistic beliefs in peace, environmental restoration and preservation, and selfless communitarian living, among others — none of which have any overlap with Yuppie careerism, consumerism, materialism, and individualistic greedy selfishness.
Despite the success in our society's collective consciousness of the fantasy of Yuppies being former hippies — once it had been planted in the popular culture by the WWII Generation sitting comfortably in front of American society's steering wheel — the truth is that these Yuppies were predominantly the generation that shadowed the Sixties generation, arising as youth in the aftermath of the Sixties cultural revolution.

"Killing "The Sixties": The responses of the 1% to Sixties activism "were calculated to placate the masses and keep them, as for hundreds of years, feeling nervous, unworthy, inferior, and slavish in relation to the wealthy and powerful…."
Posted by sillymickel in activism, America, book, Class War, Culture War, Culture War Class War, education, Generations, History, media, Michael Adzema author, occupy, occupywallstreet, sixties on October 22, 2015
"What happens to a revolution not televised:
"Others have asserted that the media played a large and active part in the "disappearance" of this generation. It has been noted, for example, as simply one indicator, that 90% of youth protests were reported by the media in 1969, but only 20 to 25% were covered in 1970-71, and only 1% of such dissident activities could be found in the media coverage of 1972.
"One could argue in response to this that demonstrations were becoming commonplace, so they qualified less as news as time went by. But this reasoning does not fully explain the precipitous nature of this decline, nor the resulting virtual elimination of coverage. In respect to comparable events of recent times, such a pattern has elicited the label "media cover-up."
"Killing "The Sixties"
"It is therefore much more likely — and there has been evidence and published commentary to this effect — that this decline was part of a concerted effort by the media, in collusion with the threatened established sectors of society, to actively put a lid on student and youthful dissent and unrest.
"Keeping the People Down
"I myself have knowledge and personal experience of how a similar suppression at exactly this time was perpetrated on university campuses.
"Enlightenment lobotomies … again
"Specifically, at the college I was attending — Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania — and other colleges and universities around the country in 1971, wealthy alumni threatened to withdraw funding unless (1) certain faculty members, considered "threatening" to established interests, were fired, (2) certain programs — considered too innovative, "disruptive," or "instigative" — were cut back or eliminated, and (3) certain "unorthodox," "undisciplined," or "publicly disrespectful" student behaviors were discouraged, suppressed, and/or harshly responded to and clamped down on.
"The total remaking of society, so such a generation would never arise again
"Indeed, such active "blacklisting" of counterculture figures, behavior, and values on university campuses seemed to be part of a general dictum across institutions — including publishing, films, TV, education at all levels, medicine and science, and the work place — to actively fight back at what was seen as dire threats to traditional mainstream values — values, incidentally, that were calculated to placate the masses and keep them, as for hundreds of years, feeling nervous, unworthy, inferior, and slavish in relation to the wealthy and powerful…."

Convenient (for the "Filthy Rich") "Truth": If a Million People Appeared in DC, and the Media Didn't Cover It, Did It Really Happen?
Posted by sillymickel in activism, books, Culture War Class War, History, media, Michael Adzema author, truth on October 1, 2015
"However, when I had my first personal experience with a major national lie at the age of nineteen — one that involved an obvious collusion of State Department, Department of Defense, and all the major newspapers in America — I was shaken. When I saw that one day later all the local media followed up by headlining stories that further misinformed and that nowhere was the truth ever reported accurately of what one million people experienced on a day that would go down in history, anyway, but "censored," I was further changed.
"Indeed, I have checked the history books and they tell the story of what I saw with my own eyes inaccurately, following the newspaper reports, which followed the reports from unknown sources in the Department of Defense. Even the idea that anyone would take the Department of Defense's version of the largest anti-war demonstration in history as the basis for the story of that day is telling.
"Then I was to find out that the story of that day and its coverage was bigger in some arenas than it should have been. Howard K. Smith lost his job at ABC over the telling of the truth of that day. People remember him from the PBS channel. Some of us who are older remember that he was one of the major anchors at ABC.
"What would cause such a precipitous event as his firing? Well, it had to do with the fact that ABC news was scheduled and fully prepared to do dawn to dusk coverage of Moratorium Day on November 15th, 1969. One million people flooded into Washington, D.C., the largest gathering for an event, save Woodstock, in American history, and for the purpose of stopping a war. Mom, Pop, and the kids and the students came from all fifty states. The buses were lined up and I personally saw buses that came from the West Coast, from Wisconsin, from Washington State, and so on. It was phenomenal.
"If a Million People Appeared in DC, and the Media Didn't Cover It, Did It Really Happen?
"Well, before coverage could begin over at ABC, as it turns out, word came down from "on high," meaning outside of the news department. People like to say that it does not matter who owns a media outlet, like, say Rupert Murdoch now owns the Wall Street Journal. They say editorial policy is not affected by who owns it.
"Well that day whoever controlled and owned ABC decided that their personal interests were going to be hurt by showing a gathering of that many people amassing against the war — one out of every 200 people living in America managed to personally show up, how many more would have come if they could, how many more would be at home watching and would be stirred and influenced by such a sight?
"When Woodstock saw such numbers it was talked about in the media and it became history.
"And how was it covered by the media? By the time we arrived home that evening, the news wires were reporting that the Department of Defense estimated the crowd to be about 200,000. Keep in mind how "accurate" [sarcasm] DOD estimates of an anti-war demonstration are likely to be. The following day, a Sunday, the local newspapers were reporting that 100,000 had showed up. And by Monday, the headlines were all that supposedly 20,000 had "rioted" that day after the event … which was actually an overblown event of a few rocks being thrown, by a handful of erstwhile demonstrators, occurring after the demonstration … still it sufficed, for the purposes of the media, to cancel out actual coverage of the event itself.
"Media Masters
"But the people who pull the strings in this country pulled the strings at ABC that day and changed what would be reported as history. And it would be a lie.
"As for the News Department at ABC having independence: Well, Howard K. Smith, veteran and senior news reporter at the time, was so incensed and so insistent on finding out who and how and why this coverage was changed from dusk to dawn to practically nothing that it led to his dismissal. If he was angry about it, angry enough to get fired over it, can you not imagine that the entire News Department was against the change?
"Where'd Wisconsin Go?
"While this is history not news, it is current news as well … though we cannot call it "headline" news for reasons that have to do with the media. Something disturbingly similar happened more recently regarding media coverage of the Wisconsin pro-union rallies. While the largest rallies in Madison, Wisconsin history were going on — an estimated 100,000 showed up on one day, 200,000 people a week or so after that — hardly anything about them was mentioned in the mainstream media.
"Tea Party Patsies
"Keep in mind that this same media has covered and continues to promote and "tout" (even) rallies of (often paid) Tea Party proponents attended only by crowds in the HUNDREDS!
"Convenient (For the "Filthy Rich") "Truth"
"So who determined what would be the truth that day. Well, it certainly was not news reporters.
"The story is only that it came from "on high." I guess from that you can discern that ownership made the decision that day; and we have no idea how many other times it has done that. We can only conclude that just the threat of interference will keep the media in line with the interests of ownership.
"We Decide, You React
"We can only conclude that when senior people, household names, are fired on the spot, that it sends a message that only grows stronger with the years, especially as ownership will make the decisions behind the scenes as to the kind of reporters it will even have working for them.
"Rather Hear from Dan?
"By the way, a more recent example of such a thing happening has to do with the dismissal of Dan Rather. You've probably heard the ownership's slant on that story. You should listen to Mister Rather tell the story some time. It is quite different from the "official" version.
"President Al Gore. Sorry, I Was Dreaming About a Democratic America
"Dan Rather's version, if it had not been undermined, might have led to Al Gore, not George Bush, getting the Presidency in 2000 (even with "filthy rich" and Supreme Court support at that time to begin "installing" our presidents). That is another thing to think about when you think that we have a free press in this country; or if you should think that any ownership involvement in the news has little or no consequences.
"Back to my story, this incident has to do with my understanding of the truth, and of history as it relates to the media and their coverage. For on the days following what should have been one of the major events on American public record, and should have been influential in the course the war would take after that day, my belief in America's premier role, because of its supposed rights, such as "freedom of the press," in being the most reliable in getting to the real story and reporting events as close to actuality as humans are capable of was shattered forever. Never again would I look at a story out of the mainstream press, no matter how widely reported and/or held to be fact, without looking for the possible agendas and forces that would affect the veracity of what was being said…."

"Slaughtering" Smart Folks: "they would become rote learners of narrowly applicable, short-lived 'knowledge,' removing the educated class as a barrier to a totalitarian America"
Posted by sillymickel in books, Culture War Class War, education, History, Michael Adzema author on September 29, 2015
From the 70s on, in America, "This would remove the educated class as a barrier to any kind of totalitarian efforts.":
"So liberal arts ideals were bulldozed away to make room for the career tracks leading directly into positions in management, medicine, law, and many new and highly specialized niches — usually the kind of specialization that would not occur until the postgraduate years, or after graduation directly on the job….
"Rather, if corporations were seen or heard to be needing, say, people knowledgeable in inter-managerial, mid-corporate, communicative intercourse and response, well entire four year programs were built around that. Add that kind of narrowly focused citizenry with its ephemeral knowledge and you have the kind of population that will do the bidding of the overseers and be happy for their fat paychecks — until their narrow niche of "knowledge" becomes obsolete….
"Slaughtering Smart Folks
"They will be happy for their paychecks, not knowing of any higher ideals than greed and accumulation. They will not know of their manipulation, would not know of the historical predecessors to it or the like. They would not have training in original thought but rather in training in decided upon processes and procedures and the jargon accompanying it. So they would become rote learners of narrowly applicable and short-lived "knowledge." This would remove the educated class as a barrier to any kind of totalitarian efforts…."

in America, we neutralize our educated as a potential progressive force using money and position: "enlightenment lobotomies"
Posted by sillymickel in America, books, Culture War Class War, education, History, money, totalitarianism on September 28, 2015
"…So we can consider ourselves to be better in America. For totalitarianism — as, for example, under Stalin, Mao, or the Khmer Rouge — is usually accompanied by the slaughter of the educated. In my own lifetime, in Cambodia at least one million were killed wantonly, anyone with education was slated for death.
"Enlightenment Lobotomies
"But in America, we are better because we just seduce folks away from higher aspirations of the soul to the lower base impulses that are satisfied with what money can buy. The corporations buy their talent and their potential for high achievement and all the rewards that come with rich lives of insight and personal growth. In exchange for their moneyed positions they receive an enlightenment lobotomy.
"Should people feel dissatisfied — as we psychologists and liberal arts thinkers know they will sooner or later — others of their kind who took the medical or pharmaceutical tracks have conveniently produced the sedatives, palliatives, and opiates to keep them numb…."

"this battle has not gone away at all but is simply being ignored … and consciously *dismissed*": Culture War, Class War, Occupy Generations
Posted by sillymickel in activism, books, Class War, Culture War, Culture War Class War, Generations, History, Michael Adzema author, occupy, occupywallstreet, Politics, sixties, Vietnam War on September 27, 2015
"People like to dismiss efforts such as mine and those of my cohorts at this time as trying to dredge up the battles of the Sixties, to relive or redo the past. This ignores the fact that this battle has not gone away at all but is simply being ignored … and consciously *dismissed*. It is as much here as 200,000 people were there in Wisconsin not long ago, though the media ignored and dismissed that in keeping with their insidious obedience. It is as much here as that we are currently surfing the tsunami of a WORLDWIDE OCCUPY movement addressing all the issues of this culture war, class war. Meanwhile the media exaggerates every Tea Party twitch involving handfuls or at the most hundreds of people and broadcasts far and wide every trivial pronouncement coming from their gang of cartoonish figures.
"So yes, we are still fighting this culture war. For not only did it never go away, not only has our side not been heard, not only has the other side pounded our positions into rubble; and shouted down, ridiculed, slandered, and misconstrued our points to their own malevolent ends, but … We ain't won yet!"

"…the Vietnam War had seen increasingly larger degrees of complaint, criticism, resistance, and defiance to its pursuit from these liberal arts campuses. I was on campus and was part of it. I also saw how the campuses were purged of the liberal thinkers — professors were fired, departments of philosophy, religious studies, history, and the other liberal arts were cut back, often to be eliminated entirely. It had become clear to the people at the top that they could better manipulate the masses without free thinkers in the way. They did not want smart people noticing, that's for sure….
"The result was that the Sixties Generation was the last educated generation. The result was that free-thinking generations would no longer be. They would not be encouraged; they would not be fostered; they would not be tolerated; they would not be *allowed*…."

R.I.P. History.
it does seem that people have forgotten history…..
I am reminded of a conversation i was overhearing on the bus in Eugene, Oregon, last week. An old-timer was talking to a young hip woman. He explained how he was one of the original "flower children," and he was giving her inside information on how it all had gone down in those days. He was a close friend of Ken Kesey, and he had been part of the original goings on in San Francisco. What struck me, though, was when he was asking her what she knew or had heard about it…. He asked, "Have you heard about Woodstock?"
Answer: "No"
His response detailing it as the coming together of a million people, peacefully, the largest such gathering in history, … and so on … was depressing to hear. … In that it should even have to be done….
No, i don't suppose history is being taught very well in the schools … not since 1971 … because to know history would embolden people to resist present day propaganda meant to control them.

"The fact that Mitt Romney lost is in indication of the "fall of obvious truths"…discussed in…this book and which is the hope abundant in the advance of generations."
Posted by sillymickel in books, Class War, Culture War, History, Michael Adzema author, occupy, occupywallstreet, Politics on September 13, 2015
"One of the biggest recent battles in that class war was waged in the U.S. presidential election of 2012. The 1%, having gained an unfair advantage to use their vast wealth unrestrainedly to further their ends electorally, had managed to pollute the electoral process so much that one of its most visible members — Mitt Romney — was able to be one election away from being the most powerful person in the world. Almost one half the American people somehow did not see how that would be a Waterloo for the forces of the 99% and they were okay with that happening. To make things worse, this came on the heels of the one percent's ongoing effort to dial back the ninety-nine percent's ability to have a say in their governing with fantastical redistricting outlines and by limiting and harassing voter participation throughout the U.S. with draconian registration requirements and purging of voter rolls. The fact that Mitt Romney lost is in indication of the "fall of obvious truths" that will be discussed in the latter part of this book and which is the hope abundant in the advance of generations.
"Still, the never ending budget battles — which on this very day, incidentally, has led to a shutdown of the U.S. Government because the Republicans do not want to allow health care coverage in America (Obamacare) — and the filibustering and gridlock in Washington on virtually all legislation needed for American advance indicate the battle has not ended the war. Indeed, this one-time "cold war" between the 1% and the 99% has heated up fast. Let us start by looking at its beginnings…."

Slumming: Sexual and Social Politics in Victorian LondonIn the 1880s, fashionable Londoners left their elegant homes and clubs in Mayfair and Belgravia and crowded into omnibuses bound for midnight tours of the slums of East London. A new word burst into popular usage to describe these descents into the precincts of poverty to see how the poor lived: slumming. In this captivating book, Seth Koven paints a vivid portrait of the practitioners of slumming and their world: who they were, why they went, what they claimed to have found, how it changed them, and how slumming, in turn, powerfully shaped both Victorian and twentieth-century understandings of poverty and social welfare, gender relations, and sexuality. The slums of late-Victorian London became synonymous with all that was wrong with industrial capitalist society. But for philanthropic men and women eager to free themselves from the starched conventions of bourgeois respectability and domesticity, slums were also places of personal liberation and experimentation. Slumming allowed them to act on their irresistible "attraction of repulsion" for the poor and permitted them, with society's approval, to get dirty and express their own "dirty" desires for intimacy with slum dwellers and, sometimes, with one another. Slumming elucidates the histories of a wide range of preoccupations about poverty and urban life, altruism and sexuality that remain central in Anglo-American culture, including the ethics of undercover investigative reporting, the connections between cross-class sympathy and same-sex desire, and the intermingling of the wish to rescue the poor with the impulse to eroticize and sexually exploit them. By revealing the extent to which politics and erotics, social and sexual categories overflowed their boundaries and transformed one another, Koven recaptures the ethical dilemmas that men and women confronted--and continue to confront--in trying to "love thy neighbor as thyself." |

Ferguson, Missouri Protests Infringe on Constitutional Rights
By Lyndsey Kelly
Impunity Watch Reporter, North America
WASHINGTON D.C., United States of America – On the fourth night proceeding the fatal shooting of a Missouri teenager, Michael Brown, what community members considered mostly peaceful protests were met with extreme police violence. The protests began after Brown was shot and killed by a local police officer.
The police violence came in the form of tear gas, rubber bullets, heavily armed SWAT teams and mine-resistant vehicles. Reports indicate that the police force zeroed in on a mostly peaceful protest in Ferguson, Missouri, where protesters were seen symbolically holding their hands in the air, the same gesture Brown was believed to be doing when he was shot by an unidentified officer. In an effort to disperse the crowd of protestors, a group of at least 70 armed SWAT officers fired smoke bombs so regularly that it made it difficult to breath.
The racially charged protests in Ferguson, which have resulted in a military-style police crackdown, resulted in the arrests of numerous demonstrators and at least two journalists. A news crew from the TV network Al Jazeera America reported that tear gas and rubber bullets were fired in the proximity of the crew, and later released a statement expressing the incident's impact on constitutional rights, "Al Jazeera is stunned by this egregious assault on freedom of the press that was clearly intended to have a chilling effect on our ability to cover this important story."
President Barack Obama made his first statement regarding the protests on Thursday, 14 August, condemning the violent tactics used on both sides of the ongoing protests. Obama acknowledged the constitutional issues with the police crackdown, stating, "There's…no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests or to throw protestors in jail for lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights," he continued by stating, "Here in the United States of America, police should not be bullying or arresting journalists who are just trying to do their jobs and report to the American people on what they see…." The President also acknowledged that those demonstrators whom engaged in violence against the police, specifically those who were said to have thrown rocks and Molotov cocktails, and used this time of unrest as an excuse for violence, vandalism, and looting were equally as wrong as the police.
Obama concluded by calling for a calm in Ferguson, Missouri, saying that now is not the time for unrest, instead it is time for an, "open and transparent process to make sure that justice is done."

Located in Noblesville's gorgeous largest city park (swimming, golf, kids games and rides, miniature golf, picnicking and more). The Transportation Museum offers adults and kids to rail cars and railroad history up close. Plan to picnic in Forest Park, and make a day of it.
The transportation museum offered many different activities. You can pumpkin or Santa train, they have mystery dinners, the pizza train, rent it out for a party. Many options, and we've done almost all of them. One of our favorites was touring the train yard.

The last thing that probably crosses your mind when you think of wine is pumpkins, but it's October and they are everywhere! We love cooking with pumpkin, so we were intrigued when we stumbled across a myriad of recipes on how to make pumpkin wine.
This is the coolest way we can think of to use the glorious orange squash, so roll up your sleeves, prepare to get messy, and whip up a batch of fragrant pumpkin wine. It's easier than you think and only requires six ingredients! Pumpkin wine can be made dry or sweet depending on your palate and extra ingredients such as ginger, clove, and cinnamon sticks can be added to impart a warm spiciness. This is a great use for any extra pumpkins you have lying around and will be a treat to enjoy at Thanksgiving with family friends.
Not into channeling your inner vintner? Order a bottle of pumpkin wine from Wisconsin's Three Lakes Winery for only $10. It won't rival a first growth bordeaux to be sure, but it will add festivity to your Halloween party.

McGarry states our county, but doesn't mention any name(s) associated with corruption from our present elected officials.
