Firebrand Of The Revolution
For ten tumultuous years Sam Adams burned with a single desire: American independence from Great Britain.
April 1967 | Volume 18, Issue 3
The town was in a frenzy of anger. On the following afternoon an immense rally of excited citizens massed in and around Old South Church. Hutchinson told a committee of protest that he was willing to send the one offending regiment to the fort at Castle William but that he had no military authority to send the other as well. At dusk Sam came to the State House to deliver his ultimatum: "If you … have the power to remove one regiment you have the power to remove both. It is at your peril if you refuse. The meeting is composed of three thousand people. They are become impatient. A thousand men are already arrived from the neighborhood, and the whole country is in motion. Night is approaching. An immediate answer is expected. Both regiments or none!" Hutchinson caved in and ordered the two regiments out of town.
Sam relished his moment of triumph. "If Fancy deceive me not," he reported, "I observ'd his Knees to tremble. I thought I saw his face grow pale (and I enjoy'd the Sight)." Copley's fine portrait catches Sam at the moment of confrontation: broad forehead, heavy eyebrows, steady blue-gray eyes, nose like the prow of a ship, stubborn mouth, a chin you could plow with.
Sam wanted the soldiers who had fired the fatal shots to be tried immediately, while indignation still flamed white-hot, but the judges put it off for six months. He acquiesced when two patriots, his cousin John and Josiah Quincy, volunteered to be defense attorneys, sure that they would not press too hard on prosecution witnesses. The two proved more honorable than he had counted on; they argued their case ably and the sentence was light—a pair of soldiers were branded on the thumb. Sam was disgusted. He retried the case in the Boston Gazette, over the signature "Vindex," the avenger. (For a full account of the Boston Massacre trial, see AMERICAN HERITAGE, December, 1966.)
After that, to Sam's chagrin, things quieted down. The blood of the "massacre" had washed away with the melting snow. In England a liberal government had assumed power and in April it repealed the Townshend Acts, except for the duty on tea. A majority of the colonists were tired of agitation, and the radical patriots temporarily lost control of the Massachusetts House. John Hancock courted the royalists; John Adams shook the dust of politics from his shoes and went back to pastoral Braintree. James Otis, who had been bludgeoned in a brawl, sank into recurrent fits of dementia.
Only Sam never let up. "Where there is a Spark of patriotick fire," he vowed, "we will enkindle it." Between August, 1770, and December, 1772, he wrote more than forty articles for the Gazette. Night after night, a lamp burned late in the study oil his bedroom. Friends, passing in the small hours, could look up at the yellow square of window light and comfort themselves that Sam Adams was busily at work against the Tories. Sam alternately stated the fundamentals of colonial liberty (based on the charter, British law, and, finally, natural right) and whiplashed the British for transgressing it. His style in this period was at times severely reasoned, more often impassioned; the content was unfailingly polemical, partisan, and, on occasion, willfully inaccurate. As the conflict with Britain deepened, his accusations became more violent. "Every dip of his pen," Governor Bernard had once said, "stung like a horned snake." As clerk of the House (to which office he had been elected in 1765) Sam poured out a stream of remonstrances, resolves, and letters to the colony's London agent; but beyond their effect as propaganda he expected them to do little good. When his daughter expressed awe that a petition to the King might be touched by the royal hand, he growled that it would more likely be spurned by the royal foot.
In November, 1772, Sam managed to set up a Boston Committee of Correspondence to link the Massachusetts towns. Within a few months other towns had followed suit, and he had a taut organization poised to act at his command. A discerning Tory declared it the "foulest, subtlest, and most venomous serpent ever issued from the egg of sedition."
In fact, everything Sam did for a decade smacked of sedition. As early as 1768 Hutchinson had secretly sent depositions to England to see if there might be grounds for his arrest. Parliament dusted off a neglected statute of Henry VIII that would bring all treasonable cases to London for trial. Tories were sure that Sam would now end on the gibbet, where he belonged. They gloated that he "shuddered at the sight of hemp." A Londoner wrote jubilantly to Hutchinson: "The talk is strong of bringing them over and trying them by impeachment. Do you write me word of their being seized, and I will send you an account of their being hanged." But the British solicitor general took a long look at the evidence and decided that it was not sufficient—yet.

Part 2
Part 1: This two part video is made from a radio interview between an Australian radio station and Cindie Travis who was passing through while traveling around the world on a bicycle. Photos and video were added to go along with the conversation. Cindie is asked, "Where did you begin your bike trip? She describes (with a map) the last five years of our around the world bicycle tour. Then she is asked, "How all this continuous travel has changed you? Do you ride all the time or take breaks and about bad weather? Cindie's "I can" description has always made this video a favorite.
Part 2: In part two of this radio interview Cindie Travis is asked to explain DownTheRoad.org's future cycling and travel plan. Cindie is also asked: Do you still enjoy riding your touring bicycle? How many kilometers or miles have you ridden in the past five years? Do you meet many others traveling by bike? Have you had any accidents or bicycle crashes? How many flat tires, punctures, inner tubes, and tires have you gone through?

The overindulgent holiday feasting is finally over and the New Year projects the familiar resolutions we've come to know every year in regard to our health and fitness. Where we recently were enticed by the seductive sweets that surrounded us during the holiday gluttony without any guilt, we must now discipline ourselves to withdrawn from this temptation. After stepping on the scale to see the damage, there will be no delay in cutting out the homemade cookies, banana breads, chocolates, and apple pie that are all sitting in the kitchen within reach. It is certainly the right time to go back to eating smaller portions to whip us into shape. The bounty of nourishing healthy recipes provides variety and interests. Never a dull selection. Although correcting our eating habits to maintain a healthier diet is not easy, there are many sources to help us support a healthy lifestyle eating.
As the holidays approach, preparations get underway as we think about what to serve at seasonal get-togethers. We check our menu list of appetizers, main and side dishes and desserts. We tend to overlook those inviting wintry drinks to welcome family and guests, taking the bite out of the cold. There's nothing like being greeted with yuletide cheer of toasty mugs filled with spiced cider, mulled wine, or a hot toddy. Before my guests arrive, I prepare a big pot of mulled spiced cider simmering ready on the stove filled with rich apple cider, cinnamon sticks, orange peels, and whole cloves inserted in wheels of orange slices. The aroma fills the house luring travelers to the comfort of home.
How can one not be comforted by the aroma of freshly baked bread in the oven? Every time I drive by Rockland Bakery, the smell permeates the surroundings reassuring me that all is well when the baking of bread has not lost its timely rhythm. The crusty artisan breads I would buy from lower Manhattan can make a mundane meal into something extra special. Those meals with extra gravy and sauce call for a thick slice cut from a loaf to mop up all that deliciousness. There is something about freshly baked bread that reminds one of home, providing comfort and satiation.
Leaves will soon be swirling around in splashes of golden yellow, sunburst red, and candied orange in the brisk autumn air. It brings to my mind the colorful palette of squash, carrots, tomatoes, and zucchini in a hearty bowl of vegetable soup. Can you picture this pot of soup as a canvas where you can "paint" with your selection of favorite vegetables, meats, herbs, and spices? How about the flavor and texture? It can be savory, spicy, sweet, tangy, smoky or even sweet and sour at the same time. Do you like it steamy hot or refreshingly cold? Like it in a light broth, or creamy as in a chowder? Similar to an artist, your creative strokes in ingredients, flavors, and texture are limitless.
The wok is the most versatile kitchen cookware in the world. It can be used for braising, deep-frying, pan-frying, stir-frying, sautéing, searing, smoking, steaming, stewing, boiling and poaching. Imagine all these methods using this one vessel. In my opinion, every home should have one but then I'm quite biased. This conical shaped cooking vessel has been used for thousands of years originating in China at a time when fuel was scarce. It was first invented to solve this problem as a way of making the most of the valuable fuel by its fast and efficient way of cooking. In contemporary cooking, it suits the desire for fast and easy cooking, and much more.
One of the great things about the summer is grilling and barbecuing. It is the only time I do less cooking. Perhaps it's because the man of the house suddenly takes an interest in preparing the meals. The summer heat seems to beckon the call of the wild in him. Even with the frequent rain we've been having, it doesn't deter him from cooking outdoors. Nothing comes between the man and the meat on his grill. And to make the food on that grill receive the highest compliments, he makes use of rubs and marinades to spice things up. This inspires the family to offer their "ooh and aahs" as Dad is saluted for his supreme grilling talents.
I do not have a sweet tooth. Sweets just don't do anything for me except to add more weight. I will quickly add that I have an affinity for savory and salty foods. At parties, you would find me scouting for those chips; especially the kettle potato chips…love that double and triple folded crunch. As you can see, I am getting away with the topic at hand talking about my own food weakness. However, the sweets that I do prefer include ice cream and ice pops. It's hard to resist these lightly sweet treats that are so refreshing especially in the summer months. I don't even mind it in the cool weather.
Food allergy is fast becoming a public health concern. There are 15 million people who are affected by this in our country, of which nearly 6 million are children. The major food allergens are milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish. These eight foods account for 90% of all food-allergic reactions. Personally, it is a very serious problem in my household with several family members allergic to nuts, Crustacean shellfish, and sesame seeds. It is not fun hunting for a tiny sesame seed on the bread or hidden inside one. Each progressive attack can be life threatening if it is not treated immediately. Unfortunately, we have not been strangers to the hospital for this reason. Outside the hospital setting, food allergy is the leading cause of anaphylaxis.
Looking at the baking books that are on the scene, cupcakes have continued to grow in popularity. There is even a cupcake competition on Food Network. The creativity and artistry involved in designing these "little cakes" are just beautiful. The delicate decorations and sculpting amaze me as I view the intricate and complex workmanship…and they taste good too!
Happy Belated New Year! Based on the lunar calendar, Chinese New Year came early this year on January 23, 2012. The Year of the Dragon is considered very lucky especially on my father's side where at least four generations of family members were born in the Year of the Dragon. Our personalities seem to reflect this. We are quite an intense lot; short-tempered, and passionate about things.

Today is the first day I can truly see and appreciate the fall colors from my kitchen window. We face north and look out across the Great Salt Marsh and the dunes of Sandy Neck Beach, with Cape Cod Bay in the distance. The marsh turns a lovely shade of tawny gold with hints of persimmon and burnt orange in the swamp maples. This is the time of year we first arrived on Cape Cod seven years ago to begin our second adventure as innkeepers.
As foliage approaches and the busy tourist season starts to wane, we now have time to enjoy friends and family, and all of the lovely nooks and crannies that Cape Cod offers our guests. One of our favorite things to do at this time of year is to sample new restaurants that have emerged on the scene, or revisit some of our favorites.
So it is good news that Restaurant Week is in full swing on Cape Cod once again.
From Sandwich to Provincetown, 25 local eateries are offering prix fixe meals for lunch or dinner (and sometimes both) for $25-35 per person. It is an excellent way to sample the culinary talents of our local chefs without breaking the bank. Check the Restaurant List to get specific information about the variety of fine experiences Cape Cod can offer to tantalize your palate. Reservations are recommended.

The Warriors worries away from home continue, gone by halftime in the game in Penrith yesterday.
Again, they killed their own chances by failing to hold the ball and by conceding early penalties, thus being forced to defend too much.
In five away games their average score is a 42-22 defeat, whereas at home their average is a 26-14 win, the reasons for the difference unfathomable.
They made way more tackles than the Panthers yesterday and that resulted in them taking dumb options in attack.
The Kiwis secondrower Frank Pritchard was dominant, until interchanged just after the restart and just after scoring his second try to take the halftime score from 22-6 to an impossible 28-6.
Warriors five-eighth Michael Witt could not complete their final training because of the hip injury he received when slipping and skying a kick against Canberra two weeks ago and withdrew.
New hooker Ian Henderson started and under-20s Sonny Fai and Russell Packer got a run. Logan Swann was left out, as the coaching staff sought more impact and intensity up front.
It didn't happen.
The Warriors forwards back-pedalled all day, their marker defence was poor and Penrith found holes where the backrowers should have been.
Henderson said they had no excuses. "We recognised we need to do something about our slow starts but it just didn't happen. There was poor communication, we needed better control in a lot of areas, we were off the pace in the contact and it compounded."
Penrith used utility Luke Lewis at halfback and it worked, Lewis having a direct hand in several of the Panthers' tries.
The first half was a shocker for Warriors halfback Grant Rovelli, whose sins included passing over the sideline and failing to get decent kicks in. His last kick before the break resulted in Penrith skipping out to a 22-6 lead, at a time when the Warriors had enjoyed a rare period on attack and were mounting pressure after getting their first points - a good kick and it might have been 18-12.
Nathan Fien engineered the Warriors' first try at 35 minutes with a short chip to the Penrith in-goal for Simon Mannering to touch down. It came on the back of a penalty, as do so many tries these days.
They pressed back to the Penrith line again but then Rovelli's chip bounced up sweetly for Pritchard and he broke the line, handed off to speedster Michael Jennings and the Warriors didn't have anyone quick enough to catch him.
At the break Penrith had completed 16 of 19 sets, the Warriors 10 of 16 and their tackle count was 40 higher.
They again let the opposition score first and to score first after the break.
And by the time Mannering got his second and Henderson backed that up Penrith already had 40 points up, Packer later getting his first try in just his second game.
Henderson said the only positive was that they didn't fold.

Rise and shine, you wedding loving lovelies. It's Monday morning and we've got some fantastic weddings coming your way. After spending hours upon hours swooning, and then swooning some more over this Pennsylvania soiree, I have an announcement to make. I am 100% in love with The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants and what they can do for a wedding. They have created an elegant, chic, and personal wedding to absolutely die for, and ever little detail is exactly what the bride described wanting. Photographed by Hoffer Photography, I'm sure this is one of those weddings that will send your little fingers afire, Pinning away. Especially on those flowers from Robertson's Flowers. And the best part is – the gallery is chock full of even more.
Need a little more of this adorable couple? How about the highlight film from GMElliot Videography?
Emily + Nathan Wedding Highlights; The Lakehouse Inn- Perkasie, PA from Glen Elliott on Vimeo.
I knew that our wedding had to have a vintage feel to it because Nathan and I are definitely a couple that wish we lived in the 1960's. That being said I didn't want to go overboard and have it end up being kitschy because I have always dreamed of having a really elegant, formal wedding, so I was very torn on how to have an equal balance of both without ending up more towards one direction.
So after collecting a million pictures of both retro and traditional weddings I ended up with a rounded out idea – a shabby chic wedding, more chic in the reception area and keeping the ceremony (which was set to be outside and had to be moved indoors at the last second due to rain) and cocktail area with more fun vintage details – like cake plates stacked with flowers and frames with pressed flowers.
We also wanted people to walk around the cocktail hour when they were able to see more things and look at something and say "Oh wow that is SO them." I feel we were able to accomplish this with our "Love Is" framed cartoons, birdhouse card box, and microbrew tasting.
The birdhouse card box was so perfect for holding all the wedding cards and looks so cute in our house now. It was made in our wedding color scheme so it fit perfectly and I LOVE that is says "est. May 7, 2011".
For the flowers throughout the cocktail hour and reception I wanted it to look fresh and bright and like we just picked them but still with some structure. So to achieve this I decided to have very little greenery in the bridesmaid's bouquets and on the tables but to keep the garden-y feel we hung mossy green vines from the chandeliers and hand an amazing arch made with curly willows vines and our flowers!
It was so perfect!

On three previous occasions the hosts had won this fixture by one goal, and that proved to be the case again thanks to Bardsley's 21st-minute strike.
Latching onto Wes Brown's clever through ball, the full-back shrugged off James Milner inside of the area before calmly slotting past the onrushing Costel Pantilimon, much to the delight of the home crowd.
City came close to equalising via Sergio Aguero when he headed wide from Aleksandr Kolarov's first-time cross, but Manuel Pellegrini's side endured a majorly frustrating first-half with clear-cut chances limited.
Jesus Navas was introduced for the second-half and the winger almost made an immediate impact when his goal-bound effort was blocked on the line by Ki Sun-Yeung.
Aguero and substitute Edin Dzeko both tested Vito Mannone as the visitors piled on the pressure, but Sunderland held on to secure Gus Poyet's third win since taking charge.
For Pellegrini's men, it was a fourth defeat in six league outings away from the Etihad Stadium this summer, and a return of just four points from a possible 18 on the road is severely hampering their title chances.
They arrived at the Stadium of Light having scored 14 goals in their past three games in all competitions, but as Sunderland defended as if their lives depended on it, they were unable to find a way past Vito Mannone.
It was just a second league victory of the season for the home side, and it served to boost their survival hopes and once again justify manager Poyet's approach in front of a crowd of 40,137.
The visitors started positively and Bardsley had to make an important header to deny Alvaro Negredo a seventh-minute header at goal from Kolarov's cross, and Mannone plucked James Milner's long-range drive out of the air seconds later.
However, the home side might have gone ahead when Sebastian Larsson picked out lone striker Fletcher with an inviting right-wing cross, but the Scotland international mistimed his header and sent it well wide.
Larsson was perhaps fortunate to escape further punishment for a late challenge on Javi Garcia, and the City man's mood was not improved when Mr Dean cautioned him for a later challenge on Fletcher. But by that point, the Black Cats were ahead.
Wes Brown, starting his first Premier League game since January 21, floated the ball over the top for Bardsley to shake off Milner before cutting inside and curling a shot across Pantilimon, once again preferred to England international Joe Hart.
City's response was tepid and Sunderland created a series of half-chances to increase their lead, although Ki Sung-yueng overhit a through-ball to the unmarked Fletcher and defender Martin Demichelis got to Emanuele Giaccherini's 36th-minute cross marginally ahead of the Scot.
But Mannone did not have any further saves of note to make as Poyet's 4-1-4-1 formation and instructions to keep possession paid off handsomely.
Navas might have equalised within five minutes of his arrival but Bardsley made a vital block.
The Spain international steered a 54th-minute cross along Mannone's goal, but it was Ki who came closest at the other end four minutes later when he blasted a right-foot shot just wide.
The goalkeeper then had to palm away Aguero's dipping effort three minutes later and as time ran down, Pellegrini replaced Negredo with Dzeko and Richards with Pablo Zabaleta.
Dzeko almost did the trick within seconds when he forced a flying save from Mannone with Aguero unable to make the most of the rebound.
Poyet's men were forced to weather a relentless assault as the final whistle approach, but with Brown marshalling his forces outstandingly at the back there was simply no way through for City.

Bush's Appointee for Head of Family Planning Hates Family Planning
The deputy assistant secretary for population affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services has an important job. He or she oversees "HHS's $283 million reproductive-health program, a $30 million program that encourages abstinence among teenagers, and HHS's Office of Population Affairs, which funds birth control, pregnancy tests, counseling, and screenings for sexually transmitted diseases and HIV." So who better to run it than someone who once called contraceptives part of the "culture of death"?
That delicious little nugget belongs to Susan Orr, former "senior director for marriage and family care" at the Family Research Council (full bio here) and Bush appointee for the deputy assistant secretary spot (on an acting basis of course, which is a sham).
In another instance, Orr supported a Bush Administration proposal to stop requiring all health insurance plans for federal employees to cover a broad range of birth control. "We're quite pleased," said Orr, who would be perfect for this job in a bizarro universe, "because fertility is not a disease."
And soon, having a kid will not be a choice. You'll have one, dammit! One sexual act equals one kid. That's the moral math in George W. Bush's America.

So currently, I've got a FiiO e7/e9 combo which I use with my Sennheiser HD600s, but lately I've been feeling like maybe they could use a tiny bit more... Something. That said, I've been looking into a new setup, as I rather enjoy my headphones and don't want to change them. Plus, if I do ever upgrade, I'd love to have the setup before instead of looking for one after.
The two I'm looking at are the Schiit Magni/Modi stack and the JDS Labs o2+odac. Currently the MM stack leads as I've read it's very similar to the o2 but cheaper, however the higher gain somewhat worries me as I also want to use this setup with my JH11s too, and the o2 variable gain is a plus.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them! Buying used isn't a problem, I've already had a positive experience both buying and selling on here so that's fine. I'd say my budget is around 600 but the cheaper the better. No tube amps please I don't think I could handle replacing them and rolling and all that.
Sound wise transparency is what I'm looking for, something that colors the sound as little as possible, if its small that's a bonus though I've got a lot of room on my desk anyway.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Planners versus Searchers in Foreign Aid
Only for the recipients of foreign aid is something akin to central planning seen as a way to achieve prosperity. The end of poverty is achieved with free markets and democracy—where decentralized "searchers" look for ways to meet individual needs—not Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) to achieve Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The PRSPs and MDGs create lots of bureaucracy but hold no one specific agency in foreign aid accountable for any one specific task. Planners in foreign aid use the old failed models of the past—the "Financing Gap", the "poverty trap", the government-to-government aid model; and the "expenditures = outcomes" mentality. Searchers in foreign aid would imitate the feedback and accountability of markets and democracy to provide goods and services to individuals until homegrown markets and democracy end poverty in the society as a whole. An example of the more promising "searchers" approach in foreign aid is 2006 Nobel Peace Laureate Mohammad Yunus and Grameen Bank.

Anti-terrorism training involves the broad study of international and local threats to national security posed by terrorism. Those charged with providing senior decision makers with the intelligence they need to implement appropriate security measures must understand how to offset and effectively manage all terrorism-related activities.
Add value to your anti-terrorism training with a solid education in Intelligence, Counterterrorism and Protection from Henley-Putnam University
While anti-terrorism training is primarily defensive in nature, Henley-Putnam's Bachelor and Master of Science Degree Programs in Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies include both offensive and defensive field operations. Furthermore, our program focuses on pro-active strategies like planning, prevention and resolution. As global terrorist activity continues to increase, advanced anti-terrorism education and training can be your ticket to some of the most challenging and meaningful national security job opportunities.
As terrorist tactics are purposefully evasive, early detection and resolution lies in the ability to successfully detect potential indicators. With many countries introducing anti-terrorism legislation (ex: USA's Patriot Act), the focus on specialty training has never been stronger. Beyond typical anti-terrorism training and certification, imagine receiving an education at the Bachelor's or Master's level that teaches you how to anticipate and mitigate terrorist attacks through an education focused in counterterrorism.
Henley-Putnam University understands your desire to become a successful anti-terrorism specialist. Offering accredited Bachelor's and Master's advanced degrees in the three key areas of Intelligence Management, Terrorism/Counterterrorism and Protection, as well as a Doctorate Degree program in Strategic Security, our programs are tailored to meet the security challenges of the future.
With classes that range from advanced terrorism studies and underground economies to religious extremism and terrorist techniques, our curriculum provides you with an effective education that you need to gain a comprehensive picture of the global security environment. Our faculty brings real world experience to each class, ensuring that you have every opportunity to learn theory in practice on your road to success.
Henley-Putnam University can take you one step closer to pursuing a meaningful career as an anti-terrorism officer.

As long as interest rates stay near zero the debt expansion cycle — masked as asset sales — will continue to grow and the interest costs associated with these debts will continue to make up a greater percentage of GDP. Naturally, the government's plan to pay the additional interest cost is to borrow more money.

When did "We the People" become so brain dead that we elected complete fucking idiot criminals to office?
hi guys, sorry for the slightly off topic post, but in the scheme of things it's on topic becase it represents the real hidden enemy of humanity, the british empire (aka banking cartel), (not the poor people of the UK)
I came across some information about "War Plan Red", a war plan where the United States would make war with Great Britain sometime in the 1930's. It was developed by the United States Army during the mid 1920s, approved in May 1930 by the Secretary of War and the Secretary of Navy, updated in 1934-35, and officially withdrawn in 1939, following the outbreak of the Second World War.
(I know its wikipedia but its a ood starting point if you want to do further research)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Plan_Redand heres a short video about it, along with interesting video footage of F.D Roosevelt
http://www.larouchepac.com/node/14915 -
Britain was closely allied with Japan since the early 1900's, which shows they were most likely involved in pearl harbor. they also funded hitler's campaign and rise to power (perhaps to divert War Plan Red?). It appears WW2 was a british failed attempt at world domination (or maybe not for now they controll much of world finances), and their mission to destroy their two greatest foes, Russia, and the United States. Their plot extended after WW2 with the cold war, in hope that the US and Russia would nuke eachother. We are now witnessing another phase of their quest for world domination, the banking cartel.

Très drôle ! 🙂 The Obama formula in sum.
Yep, the industrialist are in charge, so whatever keeps the oil flowing today is fine..
To imagine that the leader of Saudi Arabia had it right two times :1. He wanted to cap the oil wells because the profits would lead to trouble. 2. He objected to the state of Israel, saying that naturally the jew had a right to part of Germany, but why Palestina? Both times he trusted the British, possibly because the gratuitous heroism of the Laurence of Arabia (who did fight himself by the way)
Trying to grow themselves out of debt by borrowing more. Old yankee doodle trick.
I think the formula was originally borrowed to United Slaves of America. French have no imagination when it comes to economics. Monkey Sarkozy see Monkey Obama do. Monkey Sarkozy do like monkey Obama. France is runned by assholes. Right wing New-York Atlantists Nato UMP assholes we must add. It's in reality a carbon copy policy by french speaking Obamanoids.
Of course France could assert its sovereignty and issue some new debt free Francs to pay it's bills but that would break the power of those who live off interest collected by government tax agents, wouldn't it?
The idea of any individual loaning to a government is immoral since the means of repayment comes not from the government but from the population.

Don't trust smack users. Lawrence of Arabia was a heavy user of Afghanistan smack. In the Lawrence and his jolly bunch of british fuckers, screwed the Arabs. They 'liberated' the Arabs from the Turks just to take their place. The Jews did the same thing with the Romans. They asked the help ot the Roman Empire to settle their problem to find themselves occupied colonized and finally ethnicall cleansed by the Romans. Some of these Arabs don't know their history. Don't screw with the Devil and the Evil Empire. -
the propaganda for the bush tax cuts to remain starts from CNBC:

"Meanwhile, the Bank of England will keep interest rates near zero so that any increase in the debts won't incur any noticeable increase in debt service costs. Until such time as it does."
The near zero interest rate mimics debt free money that should be used in this circumstance, but as you point out its not debt free money. Their persistant use of debt can only mean their insistant on strangling the system. So Max why?
So what happened now? Gold seller remorse?
@minutemen you've been on your own for a while now, it's time you stopped blaming the British and looked elsewhere, maybe somewhere closer to home?
'The near zero interest rate mimics debt free money '
Well, strictly speaking the money is still debt, only it has no cost.
I would find a good excuse to f*ck up the financial markets and the world economy soon. Bernake is the right guy for the job…
Yeah, delcare Oakland a police free zone, declare fiscal emergency in California, rake up the drug violence by keeping it illegal in Mexico and yes, your gang violence will flare, they will be comming from the burbs..
When did the French become Anglo-Saxons? I've always believed they have been bitter at us since we defeated them at Waterloo in 1815. Now they are becoming just like us.
Ah, yes.. that would mean the 'fake' content of the Comex has increase again..
I have complete confidence that France will see through the neo-liberal-IMF-WTO anti-solution at some point.

@Mother Earth
Specify. Zero interest rates for the godamn banksters. Not the case for the average borrower. Please specify. That's why things are imploding. The wondeful advantages of free money do not go to ordinary lenders. -
@Marc Authier
One way to look at it is: It should be imploding, thank god! If the people don't agree with it they should rise up. It is a scientific truth Washington is 100% corrupt (thanks to the supreme court ruling and the fact money is flowing to candidates). If you can't add up the facts you may be a gun toting Texan, it all don' do you no good. Justice is gone, if you want it, get it.
This must be the place. Fool's gold. Big Science.
Junk Sciences = Finance and Economics. -
Doing any large acquisitions of assets to pay debt is essentially a debt rollover.
The effect is temporary relief with a higher a future payment, the debt may have changed hands yet when you start seeing things holistic it makes no difference in the scheme of things.
@Marc Authier
That's a Pavlov response.
The Afghan capital is on high alert after rioting sparked by the death of four civilians when a US embassy vehicle crashed into their car. There are fears of a repeat of the city-wide riots that struck Kabul in 2006.
Police fired shots into the air in a bid to disperse an angry mob that torched two embassy vehicles and threw stones at police and Nato soldiers who rushed to the scene near the centre of Kabul's diplomatic quarter.
Sayed Abdul Ghafar Sayedzada, the head of Kabul's crime investigation department, said six Afghan civilians were involved in the accident and four died. The US embassy said the vehicle had been carrying four US contractors who "co-operated immediately with local Afghan security forces after the incident".
"Our sympathies go out to the families of those Afghans injured or killed in this tragic accident," the embassy statement said.
This piece stinks of yet another cover up, even if death toll is low. City on high alert? Tragic accident? Did these people die in the actual accident or were they blasted before/after by these trigger happy mercenary scum? Same sort of stock response of NATO and allies when theyve carried out yet another crime on civilians.
It's an evidence that to solve your drug addiction, you have to consume more of the drug in question. It always finish the same way: DEATH. O
Or is it DEBT ? Have you noticed how the two words pronounced in english, are quite similar. It ain't a coincidence. Keynes died young at the age of 40.

study more history beyond your childhood school books…..dont believe everything your government puts in your textbooks, for history is written by the winners.
Rejuvenation of the nuclear umbrella, an exotic device sold to taxpayers as a device designed to avert doomsday by building an anxiety manufacturer-er whose only defense is another umbrella , has always been a cash cow for the invent an enemy industry.

Focus peeple…focus! Why is France sellling off it's buildings?
C'mon Max, hurry up. When's the next show? I need my fix.
@Icelce baby
Because France will also experience a real estate bust ? The answer is clear.
The government is getting ahead of the pack by dumping its bricks and mortar first to stupid buyers. Haven't the Greeks starting doing that too recently ? The market will soon be saturated. 🙂 The timing is not that good. Mind you, The more they wait, the worst the situation will be.
I think this is what happens when a country can not print. They sell off all their assess and declare bankruptcy.

I've installed Performance Profiler 188.8.131.52 on a Vista x64 machine, when I start the profiler I get the following error message:

If I click OK, the app continues to start but I then get the same message if I attempt to create a new profiling session. I can supply a screenshot of the full exception dialog if required (I'm not able to attach it to this post).
I've reinstalled the app - no change.

Any ideas what may be the problem?

Honoring D-Day
June 7th, 2010 by MOTHAX
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. - General Eisenhower
Got a text message from my best friend last night noting that he was remembering D-Day as he does all military days like it. Although he never served in the military directly, he currently works at the 5-sided Hogwarts Academy, and has always honored those who went before. But his question was something I had considered earlier.....where were all the D-Day movies, all the letters home, all the remembrances of the Day?
Over at Jessica's well it was noted that Bing honored the day, while Google maintained their standard website, although that is a step up from last year when Google honored D-Day with a tribute to.....the game Tetris. I noticed it on Memorial Day too, sure you could find Kelly's Heroes on, but none of the good old faire that marked such occasions in the olde days. I did watch the Green Berets the night before, but I remember when it was wall to wall war movies on Memorial Day.
Anyway, the Army did put up a video:
I would be remiss if I didn't share the 4 Medal of Honor recipients from that fateful day:
BG Theodore Roosevelt JR. For gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, in France. After 2 verbal requests to accompany the leading assault elements in the Normandy invasion had been denied, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt's written request for this mission was approved and he landed with the first wave of the forces assaulting the enemy-held beaches. He repeatedly led groups from the beach, over the seawall and established them inland. His valor, courage, and presence in the very front of the attack and his complete unconcern at being under heavy fire inspired the troops to heights of enthusiasm and self-sacrifice. Although the enemy had the beach under constant direct fire, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt moved from one locality to another, rallying men around him, directed and personally led them against the enemy. Under his seasoned, precise, calm, and unfaltering leadership, assault troops reduced beach strong points and rapidly moved inland with minimum casualties. He thus contributed substantially to the successful establishment of the beachhead in France.
PVT Carlton Barrett For gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, in the vicinity of St. Laurent-sur-Mer, France. On the morning of D-day Pvt. Barrett, landing in the face of extremely heavy enemy fire, was forced to wade ashore through neck-deep water. Disregarding the personal danger, he returned to the surf again and again to assist his floundering comrades and save them from drowning. Refusing to remain pinned down by the intense barrage of small-arms and mortar fire poured at the landing points, Pvt. Barrett, working with fierce determination, saved many lives by carrying casualties to an evacuation boat Iying offshore. In addition to his assigned mission as guide, he carried dispatches the length of the fire-swept beach; he assisted the wounded; he calmed the shocked; he arose as a leader in the stress of the occasion. His coolness and his dauntless daring courage while constantly risking his life during a period of many hours had an inestimable effect on his comrades and is in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army.
1LT jimmie W. Monteith Jr. For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, near Colleville-sur-Mer, France. 1st Lt. Monteith landed with the initial assault waves on the coast of France under heavy enemy fire. Without regard to his own personal safety he continually moved up and down the beach reorganizing men for further assault. He then led the assault over a narrow protective ledge and across the flat, exposed terrain to the comparative safety of a cliff. Retracing his steps across the field to the beach, he moved over to where 2 tanks were buttoned up and blind under violent enemy artillery and machinegun fire. Completely exposed to the intense fire, 1st Lt. Monteith led the tanks on foot through a minefield and into firing positions. Under his direction several enemy positions were destroyed. He then rejoined his company and under his leadership his men captured an advantageous position on the hill. Supervising the defense of his newly won position against repeated vicious counterattacks, he continued to ignore his own personal safety, repeatedly crossing the 200 or 300 yards of open terrain under heavy fire to strengthen links in his defensive chain. When the enemy succeeded in completely surrounding 1st Lt. Monteith and his unit and while leading the fight out of the situation, 1st Lt. Monteith was killed by enemy fire. The courage, gallantry, and intrepid leadership displayed by 1st Lt. Monteith is worthy of emulation.
Technician 5th Grade John J. Pinder, Jr. For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, near Colleville-sur-Mer, France. On D-day, Technician 5th Grade Pinder landed on the coast 100 yards off shore under devastating enemy machinegun and artillery fire which caused severe casualties among the boatload. Carrying a vitally important radio, he struggled towards shore in waist-deep water. Only a few yards from his craft he was hit by enemy fire and was gravely wounded. Technician 5th Grade Pinder never stopped. He made shore and delivered the radio. Refusing to take cover afforded, or to accept medical attention for his wounds, Technician 5th Grade Pinder, though terribly weakened by loss of blood and in fierce pain, on 3 occasions went into the fire-swept surf to salvage communication equipment. He recovered many vital parts and equipment, including another workable radio. On the 3rd trip he was again hit, suffering machinegun bullet wounds in the legs. Still this valiant soldier would not stop for rest or medical attention. Remaining exposed to heavy enemy fire, growing steadily weaker, he aided in establishing the vital radio communication on the beach. While so engaged this dauntless soldier was hit for the third time and killed. The indomitable courage and personal bravery of Technician 5th Grade Pinder was a magnificent inspiration to the men with whom he served.

God bless them all... and God
God bless them all... and God bless those who have served our country since its founding.
I especially would like to pay tribute to my father, William V. [Siggurdsson], USAAF, 15th Air Force, who survived 20 missions over Festung Europa in the latter months of double U-double U-eye-eye, as a 20 year old radio operator-gunner on a B-24. He will turn 86 in December, still going strong despite two cataract operations, a pacemaker, a knee replacement and assorted ailments. Thanks, Pap...

Chess Mastery
A Chess Classic
Ilya Maizelis's masterpiece is the definitive introduction to the game of chess. It has inspired generations of Russians to take up the game, including arguably the two greatest players of all time, the 12th and 13th World Champions. The Soviet Chess Primer is a modern English translation of Maizelis's witty introduction to the royal game. This new edition of a timeless classic includes an original foreword from the 2nd World Champion, Emanuel Lasker, as well as an introduction from the most celebrated chess trainer of modern times, Mark Dvoretsky.
The Soviet Chess Primer
Good-humoured dialogue is the reader-friendly technique, Stinking Bishops uses to present a pair of related but puzzling practical endgames. Take bishops: 'unlike' contrast with 'like'. Add a black and a white rook, then just a single white pawn, and we have seven chessmen. The 'books' are silent on this endgame, as indeed they are on all 7-man endings. Stinking Bishops is not deterred, venturing politely to differ, voicing a minority view. It investigates both cases, in the average player's company, and at his pace, consistently eschewing acres of so-called 'analysis' -- and in the process breaks new ground in chess literature.
