My note to Thomas Oord about his book The Uncontrolling Love of God:
I've been thinking about the main difference in yours and Sander's approach to miracles – the God can't vs. God won't problem. You (I think rightly) maintain God can't (otherwise he could, and simply chooses not to intervene, effectively making every bad thing that he could have miraculously prevented a good thing.) As I said I think this is the right way to go, but your model it seems could better explain the times God can and does intervene to do miracles than it currently does, with one small change. Why not simply say, given the world God has decided to create, he cannot unilaterally intervene (i.e. he cannot do any more than he does), and also that, the world he has decided to create, is one in which miracles have been predestined to occur, selectively, based on various free responses?
That is, why not make the miraculous functionally equivalent to the non-miraculous in terms of God's initial creative parameters in making the world? You don't have to have miracles things which God is "now" deciding to do or not do. Why can't they be powerful, creative divergences from the "regular" pattern of perceived occurrences, which are themselves *built into the creation from the get go?* This would seem to alleviate some of the pressure regarding your explanation of miracles – they occur because God has created a world in which, given that things unfold in just such and such a way, X will miraculously occur. Yet, depending on just what the initial creative act is like, and how God has decided to sprinkle in miracles, and what goods/evils he leaves up to the free will of agents, it may still be the case that only given the actualization of various factors — only then will certain miracles occur.
What do you think? It is a sort of Deism with various miracles built into the system from the beginning, but God is not "distant" because he is still exerting the maximal amount of positive influence on every free agent at every moment, given their particular condition.

The Fifth Wave #1
Author: Rick Yancey
Publication Date: May 7, 2013
Publisher: G.P. Putman's Sons for Young Readers
Reviewer: Sophia
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.
Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
I really wanted to like The 5th Wave. The synopsis sounded fantastic, it's becoming a movie – the book just sounded like one of those that I would probably read quickly, enjoy it, demand the second book (in other words, snag it straight off Lupe's shelf), read through that quickly, and pretty much have another favorite book this year (there's really only two so far that are special).
I didn't even last thirty pages. Thirty pages, which says a a lot, because while I may give up on books more often now, I don't usually give up THAT early.
The premise wasn't what made me give up reading The 5th Wave – characters trying to fight for survival? Sounds like Hatchet, only with the "aliens" attacking with "waves."
I only stopped because of Cassie. Cassie, short for Cassiopeia, the main character of the book. I couldn't stand her for the life of me.
She's materialistic – in a world when the world is literally falling apart around you, who cares about hygiene being top priority? It's great she cares (because you can't just walk to a job interview smelling like horse poop), but by the whatever wave that's past the first, I'm pretty sure you're too busy making surviving the day your priority.
She's rude – if there's one thing I don't like, it's texting while in a conversation simply because you're bored. Then, she says, "Oh, and in case you're an alien reading this? BITE ME."
Totally. I'm totally willing to bite Cassie... in a review, that is.
Basically, there was a vibe about her I didn't like early on. But with all of the flashbacks at literally every chapter, I not only got to know the world before the 1st Wave, I got to know Cassie as a person. And Cassie probably tops the list of the most annoying characters I've ever come across in a book.
Someone please tell me I'm not the only one who couldn't stand Cassie. If I am, I'm willing to cry in a little corner alone with my lonesome self...

Anthony Cummings is eyeing off more Winter Carnival Group 1 races after three year old Your Song made a one act affair with a runaway win in the Group 1 $400,000 Bundaberg Distilling Co. BTC Cup (1200m) at Eagle Farm today.
Your Song handled the heavy conditions to perfection causing an upset result when the anticipated battle between the two pre post favourites Rain Affair and Buffering didn't eventuate.
The first shock of the race came when the Robert Heathcote trained Buffering missed the start and was out the back instead of challenging for the lead with Rain Affair.
And while Hugh Bowman had Rain Affair travelling kindly in front, the five year old failed to show his usual resistance in the straight when Your Song put him away at the 200m and Buffering was never in the hunt even with Damian Browne urging the favourite along before the home turn.
Cummings has always held a high opinion of Your Song and wasn't frightened to test him at Group 1 level after some good efforts as a two year old and early three year old.
"He was very comfortable on the ground," Cummings said.
"Pete rode him very positively, got he over to a very competitive spot right from the gates, the horse did the rest."
"You've got the right horse, he's fit, go to the races, see what happens."
Cummings had planned to go to Melbourne in the Spring with Your Song but injury forced the chance of plan and he worked out a plan to bring him to Brisbane.
"From the first day he came I said that he was a Group 1 horse, but it's taken a little bit longer to prove it than I expected to but very pleased to have got the job done today."
Your Song will stay in Brisbane for the rest of the carnival with the Group 1 $650,000 Carlton Mid Doomben 10,000 (1350m) at Doomben on May 25 and the Group 1 $1.36m AAMI Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on June 8 well within his reach.
Browne said that Buffering had the job ahead of him right from the start when he took a backward step just as the gates opened and was virtually never in the race while Bowman could offer no excuses for Rain Affair.
Local three year old Better Than Ready was only one of a few runners that has made up any ground in the wet today and put in an eye-catching Stradbroke Handicap trial running home for third from well back in the field.

MGoBBQ: Super Bowl Finger Foods–Wings and Bacon Tots
[ed-Seth: Special thanks this year to Matt Gase, Michigan grad and CEO of Eat Well Embrace Life, for being a most excellent sponsor of Joe Pichey's most excellent recipes. I don't know if I'd have tried his stuff if he wasn't a sponsor, but now that I have I freak out when my wife forgets to pick up more. He's also got some plain ones out there now that I plan to try.]
I don't know about you guys, but I am a strong believer that all Super Bowl grub should be of the FINGER FOOD variety. I need one hand for my beverage of choice and one hand filled with something smoked, fried or DIP-ABLE. Preferably with meat or cheese tucked away all up in there. These 2 recipes have been favorites for awhile and are really easy. I learned a new technique from my buddy Trace of ThunderBird Wings & Thighs Food Truck in Nashville and I'm passing it along. It's my new favorite way to smoke wings and I'm sure you will love it. His Chicken Scratch rub is LEGIT and fantastic on Wing and Thighs.
- Chicken Wings (Leave em whole or separate them into dummies and midsections)
- Olive Oil
- Thunderbird Chicken Scratch Rub - (Please add link) www.thunderbirdwings.com
- Honey or Maple Syrup
Fire your smoker up to 225 - 250 degrees and add some PECAN wood to the coals. I know, I know!!! Only 225 - 250 degrees for chicken wings? What about the skin? That's exactly what I said too. I have always smoked my wings at 325-350 degrees to make sure my skin was crispy at the end. This was more grilling than smoking, but It still produced good wings. Trust me, this method is better. As your smoker is heating up. separate your wings into sections or leave them whole. I did a little of each for this batch. I added all of these to a large bowl and added a little olive oil. Just enough to coat the wings. For these 20 wings, it was about 3 TBS.

Hockey at the Midpoint: Analyzing Netfront Scoring
[Patrick Barron]
In the beginning, it seemed like things might change. Michigan's defense has been giving up more shot attempts than their offense has been generating from the drop, but the freshman class seemed to inject a bit more tenacity into Michigan's forechecking. Opponents held the puck for long stretches, but it seemed that the prime scoring chances ceded by defenses in years past, the ones right in front of the net, may have been corrected. At least, that's what this writer naively believed.
We're now a bit past the midway point in the season and, thanks to some meticulous stat tracking, we have data to lean on that suggests the unchecked-man-in-front-of-the-net problem has not been remedied. An idea that's gained popularity over the last few years among NHL advanced stats wonks is separating out from which area a shot is attempted. Those analysts have found what one might expect: more goals are scored from the area in front of the net than from the edges of the zone. Below we have scoring chance by shooting location via a Chance article by A.C. Thomas:
Based on information like the above, analysts have started to call the area with the two darkest shades of green the "home plate" area. The success rate above is based on NHL data, but the idea can be carried over to college hockey. With that in mind, David has been tracking shot attempts (in the Corsi sense; shots on goal+misses+blocked shots) all season. (Special thanks to Orion Sang and Mike Persak of the Daily for frequently providing us with shot charts.) Now that we're past the midpoint of the season and solidly into Big Ten play, it seems that there's enough data to see how Michigan's defense has fared. It's, uh…well, there's a reason I called myself "naïve" above.

WTKA Roundtable 2/2/2017: How You Like Me Now?
[Bill Rapai]
Things Discussed:
- Aubrey Solomon: We know what he says if he likes you; if he doesn't like you he'll let your quarterback know. James Hudson: Impressed that he was listed at 295 because that's ready to go size.
- Best wide receiver class ever? Sam has some old recruiting stories and a lot of big receiver hauls going back to the early '90s. Who's the #2 receiver in this class?
- Drew Singleton calls in, talks about how he fell in love with Michigan, what position he'll come in to play, and the New Jersey to Michigan Express.
- Who's the viper? Could be Singleton, or JKP, or Jordan Glasgow. Position shakeouts will happen over the offseason.
- Are M-OSU running away with the conference? MSU always loses the battle to Michigan but who knows, maybe their 2-stars will be Cook, Waynes, Dennard and Conklin again.
- More around the conference: Maryland's class: Durkin's secret to recruiting. Diminishing Wisconsin, Penn State and Nebraska on the rise. But why are you sleeping on Wisconsin?
- Nationally? Tom Herman will be fine. Florida will not. How did USC do it? Stanford has just 14 players but they're all really good. Odd that Clemson's national championship didn't result in more. Missing Ole Miss.
- The black hole of Mississippi

Signing of the Stars 2017: Jim Harbaugh
[Bill Rapai]
This year's event seemed to be focused more on the internal stars, if you will—brining out the coaches, introducing the alumni, all that. What was the decision behind that and what do you think of this event compared to last year's?
"Yeah, that was really it. It was just a thought that I had, we had, to make it more about Michigan, from the band, the cheerleaders, the drum line, coaches, players, parents. Just make it about the family, make it about the family that we are at the University of Michigan."
Why did you want to make that change compared to last year?
"I just thought it'd be better. Not comparing the two; I think they're both great. Just kind of the direction—it just felt right. That was the 'why.'"
Does that reinforce the family atmosphere here at Michigan?
"It means so much to me. Never has that resonated more; brought home our seventh child yesterday. Came right out, gave it to Eddie McDoom on a fly sweep. They were giving it to us. Had to take it. There's no better word in the English language to me than 'family,' this family of ours, the University of Michigan."
/Ambry Thomas sneaks up behind Harbaugh
"Compete, Coach! Compete!"
JH: "Compete! Compete! Compete! Was that good? Good job, Ambry."
You touched on it up there, but the combination of this receiving class you're brining in and Pep Hamilton moving forward with that group.
"It's a very dynamic group. Wonderful guys, you know. Really talented people, and just thankful. Today is a day I thank the guys. I thank 'em for coming to the University of Michigan, for choosing Michigan. I thank the parents for trusting us with their children. So, it's a day to be thankful. It's a day to celebrate, and very happy. I mean, this is Michigan. I want just to come be great. I want them to take advantage of everything Michigan has to offer. So, a lot of emotions, but mostly joy."
Can you talk about the trip to Italy and your reaction to the NCAA ruling that this is the last year of spring break camps?
"Yeah, we're not going during spring break, so…[/smiles]. We're going at the end of the term, so it's compliant with all rules or new rules that have been made. And let's talk about what mainly it is: it's an unbelievable opportunity for all of us—youngsters and adults alike—to have an educational opportunity, to connect with the people from another country, to study in terms of study abroad. Most all our players are going to have that opportunity to study abroad, do internships, do service.
"We're going to Italy, we're gonna be there for a week, we're going to practice, but from there all our players are going to be able to branch out all over the world. Thinking that the classroom—the world is our classroom. And they're going to be going to Iceland, Belgium, Japan, Israel, South America, Puerto Rico, all over the world to do their classes in May. It's so phenomenal that I can't wait to get there."

This Week's Obsession: Signing Day Roundtable
[ED (Seth): This was published early yesterday afternoon, and then the site had to be reset, so we're republishing now.]
We almost needed an "other than Solomon" caveat. [Tony Morano/247]
Brian: uh... so do we have an "other than Gary?" caveat this year?
Ace: I don't think so. multiple ridiculous croots.
BiSB: Agreed
Brian: All right then
Ace: I'm as high on Donovan Peoples-Jones as anyone after following him at Cass Tech for years. That said, Aubrey Solomon's highlight tape is on another level. He's going to be a monster.
David: DPJ. Highest ranked. Fills a massive need. And from a local pipeline.
BiSB: Recency bias, but did you see the things Aubrey Solomon did to those poor damn high schoolers? Such a quick first step, and he arrives with a level of violence we probably shouldn't condone as a society. He's also a big symbolic get, being a 5-star from Georgia with offers from every SEC school. Satellite camps FTW.
Brian: While Solomon and Peoples-Jones are both correct answers, I think Cesar Ruiz is also correct. I can't remember the last time a center recruit ended up so high in the rankings; multiple services raved about him at both the Opening and the Army game, where he took on and defeated the best the country has to offer. At least two of them said he was the best center prospect in a decade. He might be a sure thing in a spot where not even Patrick Kugler is a sure thing.
David: I refused to watch the Solomon tape, as I heeded the Harris warning. But...now I can!
Seth: I haven't watched the Solomon tape yet because I already watched the Harris tape this year and my therapist says not to put myself at risk...dammit David.
Brian: The Solomon tape is ridiculous. I was trying to add some variety to the answers but it's Solomon. He is Malik McDowell after the Wizard of Oz gives him a heart.
Ace: And we should note that DPJ is ridiculous, too. Solomon is just on a different level of ridiculous.

MGoRadio is recorded before a live retail audience at The Bo Store, 333 S. Main. Special guest: Steve Lorenz of 247 Sports.
The Sponsors
We can do this because people support us. You should support them too so they'll want to do it again next year! The show is presented by the Bo Store, UGP & Moe's, and if it wasn't for Rishi and Ryan we probably would have real jobs.
Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: Homesure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Deo Bookkeeping, Michigan Law Grad, Defensive Drivers Group, and Peak Wealth Management.
Offensive Recruits
starts at 39:57
Listen as we wait on Niko Collins. OL class is big but didn't close the way we wanted to see. Receiver corps: hoooooooooo boy. Where do we rate the receivers after DPJ? Also, about DPJ.
Defensive Recruits
starts at 39:58
Camp guys ended up nationally ranked 4-stars. One of the best highlight videos Ace has ever seen. The awesome DL class may actually be underrated—one of the 3T/5T recruits is half Willie Henry and half Jake Ryan. The LB class missed out on Gay but still, hoooooo. Everybody's watching #5 and who is this kid? And would have liked another defensive back but again two great-looking cornerbacks we comp to Jourdan Lewis and Richard Sherman.
Lightning Round of Across the Crooked Blue Line
starts at 1:23:23
Finding something to complain about is hard. Finding something to like is easy unless you ask us to pick a favorite. Brown got to go LB shopping among elites for the first time in his life.
starts at 1:53:20
Say something Ace, oh wait he can't because he's been defeated. Wagner era begins with weird whistles and 14 minuets of Donnal vs. Nick Ward—thanks Breslin! Walton isn't soft but calling him soft can tap some crazy new level of Walton.

Syracuse — OFF DAY
After their first scheduled day off in June, the Chiefs resume their 10-game homestand with a three-game set against Buffalo, followed by four against Charlotte.
Roster move: RHP Taylor Hill optioned from Washington.
Harrisburg 7 Richmond 6
• Spann 3IP, 6H, 4R, 3ER, 2BB, 3K
• Harper (W, 1-1) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Difo 2-5, R, 2B, RBI, SB
• Bostick 1-4, 2B, RBI
Harrisburg's six-run 5th turned a 4-1 deficit into a 7-4 lead, which the bullpen (*not a spoiler alert*) nearly blew for a 7-6 win to prevent a three-game sweep by Richmond. Matt Spann needed 76 pitches to get through three innings, in which he gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out three. Bryan Harper got the win for two scoreless innings, with one hit and one strikeout. Wilmer Difo led off and went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored to lead the Senator offense.
Carolina 5 Potomac 3
• Simms 6IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 4K, WP
• Self (L, 2-1) 2IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 0K, WP
• Manuel 2-4, RBI, PO at 1B
• Miller 1-3, R, HR, BB, RBI, OF assist at 2B
The Mudcats rallied for two in the 8th to snap a 3-3 tie and held on to hand the P-Nats a 5-3 loss. John Simms started and let up three over six innings on six hits and three walks while fanning four. The loss went to Derek Self, his first for Potomac in 2015, as he was charged with two runs, four hits, two walks, and no K's over two innings. Potomac racked up 10 hits and drew two walks but left on just six as they hit into two double plays and ran into an out at second. Craig Manuel and John Wooten both went 2-for-4 while Brandon Miller homered.
Kannapolis 13 Hagerstown 5
• Baez (L, 0-1) 1+ IP, 5H, 8R, 8ER, 3BB, 0K, 0HR
• Bach 4IP, 5H, 2R, 1ER, 2BB, 4K, 1-1 IR-S
• Reistetter 2-3, 2RBI
• Abreu 2-4, 2R, 3B, HR, BB, RBI, E(19)
• Dent 2-4, R, RBI
Kannapolis struck for eight runs in the first two innings and cruised to a 13-5 win over Hagerstown to salvage the three-game series. Starter and loser Joan Baez retired just three of 12 batters faced in one-plus innings, burned for eight runs on five hits and three walks without a strikeout or a home run. Osvaldo Abreu tripled, homered, and walked while committing his 19th error to the lead the Suns nine-hit, four-walk attack.
Auburn — Opening Day
The Doubledays open the 2015 season on the road with three against the Muckdogs and three against Crosscutters. As some have noted in the comments, the roster does not appear to be set yet (just nine pitchers and nine position players as of this writing at ~7 a.m. EDT) nor has the team issued a press release regarding the Opening Day roster.

Another Superman
Anantharaman Subbaraman arrived at Heathrow airport. He ended up waiting for about 2 hrs for the authorities to call his name.
Finally, he got fed up, went to them and asked why they haven?t called his name yet. Airport authorities responded that they have been calling him for the last two hours and were wondering why he hadn't responded!
The reason was made clear when the immigration officer pronounced his name. He said: "Another man Superman"

This is a detailed presentation of the 1973 Yom Kippur War and how an enemy Surveillance Strike Complex (SSC) was defeated by a Surveillance Strike Maneuver Capability, achieving decisive victory. This presentation lays the reality-based doctrinal foundation for the U.S. Army transformation and why it must be based around air/sea-transportable and numerous light tracked armored fighting vehicles with robust mobility that overcomes SSC fire effects not vulnerable rubber-tired armored cars nor hoping for mouse-clicking firepower to defeat the enemy---Air-Mech-Strike Force structure---in order to to achieve decisive world-wide strategic operational maneuver (AWSOM).
Military men love to jump into their work and ASS U ME its for a noble cause. This is a fatal error and abdication of their responsibility of the people they are serving to ignore it when they are often being SET UP FOR FAILURE.
IDF combat veteran Barry Chamish has just revealed that the 1973 Yom Kippur war was stage-managed by the Rockefeller Nazi Illuminati in order to give a golfer's handicap to the poor ole' Egyptian and Syrians so they could "win one" and regain some respect for their habitual weak egos. Weak egos are not a surprise consequence when one holds to the de-humanizing Islamic religion. The Illuminati seeks to destroy diversity and homogenize the world into their "New World Order" by killing off several billion people to make the Earth easier to manage by their tyranny. A near nuclear war between the Soviet Russians and America nearly took place over the 1973 war. I remember as a kid that nuclear war fears were very real and we dug a time capsule into the ground in our backyard because of it.
Chamish brings up some very cogent SSC points; where were the Israeli land mines that would have surely slowed the Egyptian army moving into the Sinai?
By Barry Chamish
On the first Thursday of April at 9 PM, Israel's government-owned tv Channel One grew up and in doing so cemented my reputation for accuracy. The channel presented a 90 minute documentary and follow up discussion proving that Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Israel Defence Minister Moshe Dayan cooked up Israel's nearly disastrous Yom Kippur War so that the Arabs would win. The film is directed by Yoram Irbamatz and is called, Who Murdered Daddy?. It investigates the July, 1, '73 murder of Col. Yosef Alon in Washington based on evidence gathered by his wife Dvorah and his two daughters. Here is the Hebrew film with some 20% in English during interviews of American investigators:
Beginning in 1970, Alon was assigned for three years to the Israeli Embassy in Washington as the assistant air and naval attaché'. He worked vigorously to procure sophisticated American F-4 Phantoms and other weaponry for the Israeli Air Force as his country battled Egypt. Then on July 1, '73 Col. Alon, one of the founders of the Israeli Air Force, was gunned down by his house in front of his wife and daughters. It was a sophisticated hit and not an act of terror which would have included killing his family as well. For reasons that forced the Alon family to find his killer by themselves, the FBI and MOSSAD closed his file shortly after. Neither identified the killer nor his reasons for murder. Former President Ezer Weizman knew both answers but would never say. "If I told what I know, the nation would go into shock," he hinted. "Alon was a loud-mouthed drunk and couldn't be relied on to keep a secret."
What secret could have got him assassinated? The one my old friend, the history Prof. Uri Milstein, told on the show. "Kissinger and Dayan decided to give the Arabs their pride back by not preparing the IDF for war. It would cost Israel 100 or 200 sacrificed Soldiers, but then the Arabs would talk peace."
Bentsi Tsfoni searched Alons out to tell his story to them. He was a Soldier in the Engineering Corps who just prior to the Yom Kippur War dug up and exploded all the landmines along the 120 km length of the Suez Canal. He asked his superior why he was doing such a crazy thing and was told, "The army has a new diplomacy." Not said, the new diplomacy was to lose, but the viewers all got it.
The author Nomi Frankel was responsible for all top secret IDF radio transmissions and she swears she witnessed the following communication between the IDF Chief of Staff Gen. David Elazar and Dayan. Elazar wanted a full-scale mobilization and reinforcements for his troops along the Suez because war was imminent. Dayan replied, "No. We have an agreement with Kissinger not to attack Egypt." Elazar was murdered shortly after the war.
As a military attaché in the Israeli Embassy, Alon discovered, or was even apprised of, the plot to lose a war that autumn. Alon's oldest daughter concluded that, "My father would never have permitted that plan to go forward."
Gen. Yaacov Agassi gave the documentary's lasting message: "Alon was murdered by an American squad with highly sophisticated intelligence after receiving the go-ahead from Dayan."
And so ends the film--but not the truth that was missing. And I know what was left out. First, I had been covering the Dayan plot for over 15 years. I wrote the following recently:
Finally we have the reason Moshe Dayan turned into Israel's top traitor of his day. As Chief-0f-Staff of the IDF, Dayan HAD to have given the order for his Air Force to sink the [USS] Liberty. Pres. Johnson may have given the actual command, the American navy did nothing to rescue the stricken ship, but Dayan had the blood of 37 American Sailors on his hands and if he didn't play major league ball, he and Israel would be turned into friendless lepers.
Dayan began quickly, by handing over control of the Temple Mount, won by Israel with buckets of blood, to the Jordanian Wakf, the consequences of which are felt deeply to this day. Then in October 1973, as Defence Minister, under the duress of Henry Kissinger, Dayan agreed to give Egypt and Syria a full day to regain lost territory. The consequence of not pre-empting the Yom Kippur War was over 2000 dead Jewish Soldiers in two days. After Pres. Carter forced PM Begin to take Dayan into his cabinet as foreign minister in 1977, Dayan abused his position to sway Begin to accept an accord with Egypt, that gave up every square inch of the Sinai to Sadat. This decision led directly to Egypt today allowing the Sinai to be a rocket funnel for Hamas.
Now here is the Israeli who had to have approved Alon's murder, his boss, Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin. Rabin had fallen hard under Kissinger's spell and even went on the stumps for Nixon in '72. Not a month after Alon's assassination, he published an analysis in the Washington Post asserting that the Arabs would and could not go to war against Israel for another generation, a message which lulled and then murdered Israelis in their thousands. If the Americans got their approval for Alon's elimination from Israel, it could only have been from the top of the heap in the U.S., Ambassador Rabin. And this the documentary could not say. Only one fallen saint at a time.
Rabin approved Alon's murder for peace, Pres. Shimon Peres later approved Rabin's murder for peace. Nothing has changed.
So the question is what kind of "Peace" is handicapping one faction so it can appear to "win" a conflict if it causes the murder of thousands and even millions in war? If you have read or seen the Illuminist Alan Moore's masterpiece Watchmen you will see the same idea at work--to attain "peace" a false flag war has to be concocted to mind manipulate the sheeple into a desired behavior.
Military Operational Art: What Military Men Should Do to Not be Victimized
Military men should not go along with evil plots conjured up by the secret elites. Dayan is no longer a hero in Israel, and we know now why--the full story. The sanitized version is that he was inept and let the defenses down, when the truth is he deliberately weakened IDF defenses in order to concoct an Arab war "win".
VIDEO: Introduction to the War
Yom Kippur War 2: Smokescreen generators enable engineers in rubber boats to cross, get foothold, amphibious BTR-50s swim across others, 10 cuts in sandwalls by water hoses (idea of a LT) for 10 Russian-made ribbon pontoon bridges, 2 armored divisions across with 500 tanks within 24 hours, IDF tanks knocked out by RPG/Sagger ATGM teams, infantry in M113 Gavins counter-attack the AT teams, Super Shermans with 105mm guns reinforce Golan Heights held by a LT and a platoon of tanks
Yom Kippur War 3: IDF invades Syria, puts Damscus at risk, changes focus to over-extended Egyptian army in Sinai
Yom Kippur War 4: IDF Paras and tanks under Sharon cross Suez canal and encircle Egyptian army, taking out SAM sites, surrounded, they sue for peace
For a detailed written account online of the 1973 war, the U.S. Army Combat Studies Institute No. 21: The 1973 Arab-Israeli War: The Albatross of Decisive Victory by Dr. George W. Gawrych is available in PDF format.
The U.S. Army has been in ethical and technotactical crisis before; even after WWII our former enemies were giving us valuable advice which goes unheeded even today:
"Very important to avoid making reconnaissance equipment heavy. For this reason, we tried through the war to develop a decent light tank for the reconnaissance units, but we were never successful.... the eight wheeler [reconnaissance vehicle] had the serious disadvantage of being too large and heavy, while the four wheeler was not really mobile enough in cross-country work. You know the eight wheeler was so big and heavy because the reconnaissance troops, naturally, wanted as big a cannon as they could get. Well, that does not work."
This is NOT Strategic Maneuver or sound C3D2 to defeat SSCs: where did our Soldiers learn such bad habits?---Fort Lewis, Washington: "From Here to Eternity" Garrison U.S. Army Unready For War: As Seen From Space
James Jones, an Army combat veteran revealed the bankrupt and snobby Army culture as being unready for WW2 in his book; "From Here to Eternity". As Japanese planes are bombing and strafing U.S. Navy ships and Army/marine planes parked in neat rows to ward off "saboteurs" our entire force in the Pacific was nearly wiped out resulting in us almost losing the war on day 1. Despite the obvious need to drop the rank snobbery, work together and stop the non-tactical "parade ground" military, after WW2 we reverted right back to "From Here to Eternity" and suffered grievous losses in Korea, Vietnam, and now in Iraq. We are today, parking both ships, planes and trucks, troops, tanks and buildings in easily targeted rows, both in CONUS and overseas.
On the 21st century, non-linear battlefield dominated by high explosives we simply CANNOT afford to play BS barracks games and keep living in rows of buildings with our air, ground and sea platforms parked in rows, uncamouflaged.
If you have ANY doubt about the dangers we face of reliving "Pearl Harbor" which we compound by base closures compressing even more targets in smaller areas, look at the satellite imagery of U.S. bases using google maps.
2. Type in
fort lewis wa
you will see a street map
3. Click on "Satellite"
Click on + to zoom all the way in on to see the clusterfucks of Stryker and other wheeled trucks
Move <--- and ---> to shift view from space to keep the wheeled truck narcissist wagons in view etc.
Here's the photo of Fort Lewis, Washington taken from space by a satellite with key features of the U.S. Army "garrison" BS mentality explained:
1. HUGE parade ground for brass to self-worship themselves with troop standing in hot sun for hours at a time. Troops have to waste hours mowing this huge lawn. Parade grounds and useless golf courses should be ripped out of every Army post and the space used for tank cross-country open terrain maneuver training or at the very least a firing range. You will notice there is no maneuver training area on Fort Lewis--they have to drive over 100 miles southeast to Yakima training center--more time and resources wasted, when we do not have the time or the money to waste. Is it a wonder our troops are so road-bound and easily blown up by roadside bombs in Iraq?
2. HUGE motor pools of Stryker, Humvee and FMTV vulnerable wheeled trucks in Fulda Gap Olive Drab Green paint that makes them clearly seen against gray pavement. Troops waste many hours obssessing over these flimsy and tactically unsound trucks under the hot sun to micro-manage and alleviate the anxieties of the brass and their bean counters that they will work. However, the hot sun and temperature elements are degrading the rubber tires, optics, paint constantly.
So as mother earth kills the life of these flimsy vehicles, they make an easy Pearl Harbor-esque target for enemies who could with GPS guidance destroy them en masse with just a few direct hits. ALL vehicles should be painted in universal TAN or BROWN and dispersed and co-located with their units in the field at all times under concealing vegetation and/or nets to keep the sun off, or better yet IN ISO containers. Some "war on terror" we are waging, huh? We didn't declare war on 9/12/01 and we are still not at war.
3. You will see 5 x CH-47D Chinook heavy lift helicopters and a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter again in absurd "Fulda Gap" green camouflage paint making them easy targets on the ground and in the air. These aircraft should be GRAY for effective camouflage in the air and be covered in camou nets on the ground. The main runway of Gray Army airfield is only 6125 feet x 150 feet and the secondary runway is only 1867 feet by 46 feet. This is good enough to fly-away by USAF C-17s and C-130s, but the Stryker truck is too heavy to fly by C-130 even stripped down anywhere unless you want to go to Spokane, Washington. Only 3 Strykers can fit into a C-17 which we do not have many total, and only a squadron of 12 at nearby McCord AFB. If the Army were wise and transferred Stryker trucks to MP units where their road-bound fatal weaknesses would be offset by a less lethal mission and re-equipped with M113 Gavin and M8 Buford AGS light tanks, they could fly 4-5 at a time in C-17s and 1-at-a-time in C-130s to strategic distances (over 1, 000 miles). Moreover, if the main runway was lengthened to over 8, 000 feet, cargo 747s could fly brigade Gavin/Buford sets and all required personnel rapidly to any place in the world with international airports. This was what an Army that was serious about getting ready to fight anywhere in the world would do.
4. Here you see a feel-good sports field and 400 meter tracks for absurd sports PT in t-shirts, shorts and running shoes which has no combat relevance. Also notice the tennis courts. More evidence that the U.S. military garrison lifestyle is all about narcissism and not combat effectiveness.
5. Here you see the comfortable Rank Hath Its Priveliges (RHIP) officer's housing adjacent to the parade ground for narcissist ceremonies. This is disgusting and not leadership-by-example. These housing units should be torn down on all U.S. military posts/bases and everyone made to live off post in REAL civilian houses to have real civilian cultural lives instead of living in the cloistered artificial lifestyle that leads to snobby and disrespect of people with less money, rank and status--people like our foreign enemies and civil populace that we are trying to win to our side. Amerocentric snobbery does not win hearts & minds.
6. All over the post are multi-story troop barracks and enlisted family housing units where the underclass lives and the under 21 year olds can be frequently visited by their over-bearing "mother may, I?" chain of command to nitpick over the condition of interior paint and the state of the lawns around the buildings. So while America's enemies study how to kill us with the latest technologies, our troops spend their days picking up trash and mowing lawns in the hot sun or freezing cold after starting the day without enough sleep doing absurd sports PT to numb them down to better control them and remind them that they are somehow inferior to the careerist narcissists running the show who want to look good and get themselves promoted. Is it a wonder troops think 5-ton trucks weigh 5 tons? Is it a wonder they do not know what a RPG can or cannot do? Is it a wonder our troops are ignorant of warfare and think they can ride around in wheeled trucks and just shoot the enemy as if it were a TV western gun duel? The sad truth is they enter the combat zone sleep-deprived for months and years at a time and are falling asleep at the wheel and dying. They are getting blown up by a push of a button by roadside bombs before they can even get a chance to shoot their hand weapons. War is not an event to prove manhood and adulthood you should already have, its not a game or a duel. Its about winning or losing, living or dying. And we cannot afford any longer to waste time on 19th century parade ground BULLSHIT on today's lethal, non-linear, 4th generation warfare battlefields dominated by not just bullets but high explosive weaponry.
Let's be brutally honest, shall we?
Where is the constructive effort to be good at warfighting?
U.S. military is not "AMATEUR hour"; amateur implies at least we are TRYING; we are not trying; U.S. military is PHONY.
Air Force & Navy when they fly aircraft and sail ships are kept somewhat honest and combat capable because if they at any second fail they can be dead falling from the sky or in the water where man really doesn't live. To warfight they need to actively operate air/sea platforms.
In contrast in land combat, man lives on land; he does not need a platform to exist on land that automatically has a war function. He is under no compulsion to be combat ready even by platform default. Man can die on land from EXPOSURE however, and since he lives on land all the time for a peaceful, civilian life his answer to this is FIXED BUILDING SHELTER. Since man has a civilian existence means that has no military platform utility, both the Army and marines have been corrupted by building and lawn care as convenient excuses/time wasters by people who are phonies who do not want to be combat ready, they want to be phony narcissist snobs and extended adolescents paid middle-class wages.
Actives: wake up each morning sleep-deprived, roll call troop formation, do non-sense sports PT, then breakfast, some more troop formations, "leaders" meetings, paperwork, Mondays wasted in motor pool doing PMCS on tactically unsound Humvee SUV trucks, Tuesday/Wednesdays building and lawn care, Thursday meetings, Friday paperwork. WHERE IS THE TIME TO DO ACTIVE WARFIGHTING EXCELLENCE? The entire daily and weekly routine established by the narcissist egomaniacs to baby sit the economic weak co-dependants is geared around BULLSHIT (lawn and building care) not active thinking cat vs. mouse warfighting.
Reserves: one weekend a month they arrive and waste Saturday and Sunday with roll call formation, sports PT then lunch, then yadda yadda meetings, then time to go home for the day. Two weeks in summer is fun time away from wife and kids.
1. Get rid of static buildings: force ground troops to every day do combat things by making them live every day in tactically-sound, portable, fortifiable "Battle Boxes" THERE IS NO GARRISON. There is only the FIELD.
2. Make Reserves go to war for 24 hours each month
3. Get rid of phony narcissists and economic bennie boomers and replace with warfighter enthusiasts
4. Cat & Mouse Warfighting Experimentation Needed
Once we cut out all the BULLSHIT we will face the tools we have in front of us and start grappling with how we will use them in war and how to better use them by ACTIVE THOUGHT. Force everyone to FACE THE TOOLS THEY HAVE IN FRONT OF THEM their minds will be forced to THINK about what it is they have. FORCE THEM TO BE IN A WAR SETTING AND THEIR MINDS WILL PONDER hey, what if I left on foot over there to patrol and an enemy sapper team is already there?
The same intellectual development and innovation that I undertake will happen with the troops, what we call FIELD CRAFT. How can you have FIELDcraft when you are NOT IN THE FIELD but in garrison doing LAWN CARE?
A few examples:
Drive vehicles and lay smoke screens with OPFOR to perfect what it takes to evade optical weapons engagement
Off-road, x-country driving of TRACKED armored fighting vehicles to avoid roadside bombs/RPG ambushes
Finding out how to hide vehicles from thermal imagery
Shoot actual soft nose RPGs at vehicles and practice evading them
Actual hardening of combat vehicles and loading arragements perfected not static BS "this is the SOP we've always used so go back to sleep"
"In 1941, it was not obvious to American military leaders what the impact on land warfare of new technology would be. In retrospect, a couple of observations from World War II seem relevant to force design and technology in the current war. First, the U.S. Armed Forces were much more successful integrating the arms readily available within their own services than in coordinating the use of weapons employed by other services. In other words, in most operations there was little or no 'jointness'.
Second, U.S. Army ground forces proved to be more skilled and tenacious in defensive operations than in offensive operations against the German Army. There were several reasons for this. American offensive combat power - armored forces - were extremely vulnerable to German shoulder fired anti-tank weapons like the Panzerfaust - a forerunner of the Russian rocket-propelled grenade - as well as anti-tank guns and mines.
Though thoroughly mechanized by 1944, the mobility of U.S. forces could not compensate for the vulnerability of thin, ineffective armor protection because American medium, offensive tanks and tank destroyers lacked gyro-stabilized tank-killing guns and could not fire accurately on-the-move to destroy enemy heavy, defensive tanks when encountered.
The length of training for masses of Citizen-Soldiers that preceded assignment to operational units was short and unit cohesiveness was poor. As a result of all these factors, attacks on the ground only succeeded when American numerical superiority was assured and artillery fire could be delivered in massive volumes.
One comes away from this discussion with a sense that the need for effective, joint integrative command and control on the operational and tactical levels of war is as acute as ever. With the growing lethality of modern weapons, superior technology in terms of devastating firepower, armor protection and mobility is just as important today. And the unit cohesion that springs from genuine training readiness and confidence in the chain of command is an unchanging requirement. So, it is a safe bet that developments in these three dynamic areas should profoundly influence the Army's current transformation".
The challenges of future nation-state surveillance strike complexes in the 21st century will be even greater than the German Army in ETO in WWII. We must boldly face ourselves warts and all, and make improvements based on professional, honest candor and transform ourselves to gain a Surveillance Strike MANEUVER capability with existing and off-the-shelf equipment quickly before a nation-state with a superior SSC ends our reign as a superpower keeping the world free.

Can Christians be Friends with Witches?
Pam Hogeweide conducts an interview with Phil Wyman who is pastor of The Gathering.
Here is one quote to give you a sense of Wyman's journey:
At first, Phil's denomination-that-shall-not-be-named was all gaga about Phil's unique and inventive outward reach to a group of people that most Christians won't even eat dinner with. But over time, there came rumors and whisperings and a flurry of gossipy emails that raised questions about the wisdom of Phil's modus operandi. He and the other leaders of his church found themselves subjected to an old-fashioned witch hunt where they were asked such questions as, 'How can you be friends with witches?' to which they replied, 'How can we not?'
Would that we would all have such a missional heart that we would be compelled to make friends with those in need of the Kingdom, regardless of the cost.
Phil blogs at Square No More.
JJ at SmuloSpace also did an interview with Phil back in 2006. You can read them here and here.
And our good blogging friend Webb Kline relates his encounter with Phil here.

So it's really heating up outside and if you're like me, the last last thing you want to do is to turn on your oven… BUT I NEED TREATS!!!!
Yes, I want treats! I don't care if I'm sweating, but I don't care to turn on my oven and bake. Next best thing, Raw "Cheese" Cake Bites. Yes I said "cheese" cake, but notice the parenthesis. They aren't made from cheese. Similar to my Raw Cashew Coconut Bites. They are made from soaked raw cashews. Yes I could have called them, raw cashew bites, but they are just like little cheese cakes.
So back to not turning on my oven to bake. These lovely little treat require no cooking what so ever. That is very wonderful for these hot summer days! Since these are mini, you can make five dozen of these little beauties and store them in the freezer to enjoy whenever you'd like! You can also top them with whatever topping you'd like, just like real cheese cake.
I hope that you enjoy these as much as I do!
Raw "Cheese" Cake Bites (Paleo/ Vegan/ Dairy Free/ Gluten Free/ Refined Sugar Free)
1 1/2 c. pitted dates
1 1/2 c. almond meal
3 c. raw cashews (soaked overnight, then drained and rinsed)
1/3 c. coconut oil
1/4 c. maple syrup (honey if not vegan)
1/4 c. lemon juice
2 tsp. vanilla
Soak 1 1/2 c. dates in boiling water for five minutes. Drain and put into food processor with almond meal. Put until mixed thoroughly. Once your mixture is done put 1 tsp. mixture into the bottom of a mini muffin cups. (I line mine with papers or you can use a silicon muffin cups). Press mixture to cover bottom. Set aside.
Place all the filling ingredients into a high powered blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth, scraping down sides when necessary. Scoop 1 tsp. filling mixture into muffin cups. Place into the fridge for at least two hours.
Before serving top with your desired toppings such as fruit, strawberry jam, cherry topping, coconut cream, caramel sauce, etc. Store covered in the fridge for up to two days. These freeze great!

These sound amazing! I have been dairy free since December when we discovered it was bothering my nursing baby. This sounds like a perfect snack/dessert! I love dates!
I have just discovered the magic that is soaked, raw cashew. I will definitely be giving this a try!
This looks sooo good. Little bites of perfection! Love the idea of topping them with caramel too, mmm…definitely going to give that a go 😀
These sound amazing! I actually can't bake to save my life, so I tend to make raw desserts all year 'round anyway. But I haven't made anything like this! This will make a great potluck dish =)
These look delicious, Sandi, and I soooo know what you mean about not turning on the oven. I'm lazy, though, and if I'm craving sweets sometimes the result is a spoonful of peanut butter sprinkled with chocolate chips 😉 Thanks for sharing this on Waste Not Want Not Wednesday, I'm pinning and tweeting 🙂
Oooh this recipe is exciting! Thanks for posting. Hello from Fat Tuesday Forager Festival.
Thanks for linking up to #SavoringSaturdays ! Tweeted!
Wow these look amazing! Thanks so much for linking up to #SundaySweets, it's great to have different alternatives linked up rather than just the usual baking, I hope to see you back this week 🙂

, Research Paper
The Effects of the Media on Women
The obsession with how a person should look is becoming a national priority
among women, especially among young girls and teenagers. Women in general are most
preoccupied with being thin. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, this
obsession of being thin can usually be labeled in two ways, which are anorexia nervosa
and bulimia (Caldwell, 109). What would influence women of all ages to starve
themselves to death or to seek out other means of changing their bodies just to "fit in"?
In many instances, cultural pressures especially by the media and the remainder of
society has caused these problems today.
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are two of the most dangerous and
most common eating disorders. Anorexia nervosa involves severe weight loss-15%
below normal body weight (Caldwell 109). If left untreated, anorexia can lead to
osteoporosis, cardiac arrest, malnutrition and even death (Mullen E1). A bulimic eats,
sometimes compulsively, and then purges through forced vomiting, use of laxatives,
diuretics, strict diets, fasts or exercises (Caldwell 109). Bingeing and purging, which is
associated with bulimia, can lead to stomach rupture, heart failure, inflamed esophagus
and swollen glands (Caldwell 109). Also, certain research has shown that 14 is the
approximate age for the onset of anorexia; Bulimia has been shown to start around age 18
(Body n.pag) In recent studies conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University,
bulimia which has always been linked to society's obsession with thinness, has now
been related to the genes. Dr. Cynthia Bulik, psychologist for the VCU institute says that
" Genes may contribute to bulimia, but if a woman is never exposed to the cultural
pressures to be thin and diet, then she may never develop the disorder (Qtd Kelly, E-1).
Also, in a society that rewards thinness and at first applauds weight loss, a simple diet
may soon lead to an eating disorder (Mullen, E1). It is estimated that 1 in every 100 girls
suffer from an eating disorder; 95 % of which are between the ages of 12 and 25
(Mullen, E1). Some girls look at movie stars and believe that is what they need to look
like because everybody wants them to (Mullen, E1). Advertising, television and films
constantly push the message of a slender figure. Women who do not think they fit that
"mold" often respond by dieting or even surgery (Worshop 1100). When asked, 33,000
American women told researchers that they would rather lose 10 to 15 pounds than
achieve any other goal (Gotschall). In the past ten years, the number of people suffering
from eating disorders have increased dramatically, and cosmetic surgery has become the
fastest growing medical specialty (Wolf, n.pag). Of men and women surveyed, 55% of
women wanted to lose weight "now" and compared to a 28.5 % in men (Caldwell, 110).
The average woman is 5?4? and weights 140 pounds. The average model is 5′11″ and
weighs 117 pounds (Dahlstrom, n.pag).
From another viewpoint, women spend much of their time and money engaging in
various activities with their appearance, and also shopping. Beauty ads on television and
in magazines play a significant role in the market of beauty products. According to Mary
Gotschall, a freelance writer in Virginia, " Women have free will, and they are not forced
to buy beauty products. They choose to do so. If this were not so, fashion and the beauty
industry would not be the same. (Gotschall, 1113). The diet business alone has become a
$35 million per year industry only in North America (Body, n. pag). Children by the end
of high school have seen over 350,000 advertisements, half of which stress the
importance of being thin and beautiful, and half which are selling food. Only fifteen
minutes of exposure to these advertisements causes girls to think that beauty is more
important than their popularity with boys (Body n.pag). Younger generations are also
beginning to develop a "mind set" of what they should look like. It is estimated that from
an early age young girls watch about 20 hours of television per week (Reflections, n.pag).
69% of girls have wanted to look like, dress like or fix their hair like a character they
have seen on television; About 31% of them say they have changed something about
themselves to be more like that character (Reflections , n.pag). In one report it states that
children would rather have a chronic illness than be fat (Body, n.pag). Also, in another
study it indicates that by age 4 and 5, children have already developed negative
stereotypes about fat (Body, n.pag). It is an unbelievable fact that the number one wish
of girls ages 11 to 17 is to lose weight (Hines, 3). Many of us probably do not even
recognize the "warning signs" posed by the younger ones. Recognizing in a child that
something is wrong may be the first step to preventing future emotional and physical
pains. Does the fact that 4 out of 5 females in 5th grade are currently on a diet or have
been on a diet seem surprising (Hines, 3)? Adolescence is such a confusing time for
kids; When adolescents spend most of their time under the influence of the media, it is
no wonder that the way they try to define and clarify themselves is by copying what they
see. The statistics will prove it. About 32% of girls watch television very often, 46%
listen to the radio very often, 24% read fashion magazines very often, and 50 % listen to
cd's and tapes very often.
One of the recent controversial issues now is Barbie- concerning her possible
negative influence on women of all ages, especially girls. Many people blame Mattel's
popular icon for giving young girls unrealistic ideas about a female figure (Worshop,
1101). Theoretically, if Barbie's actual body measurements were converted to an actual
woman, she would consist of an 18 inch waist, 36 inch bust and 33 inch hips (Worshop,
1101). On top of all that, Barbie would stand an amazing 7 foot 2 inches tall (Barbie,
n.pag.). One main reason Barbie is being blamed is because she is a consumer of clothes,
dream houses, and cars, which may be teaching children negative stereotypes about their
gender roles (Barbie, n.pag). Psychologist Roberta Sherman says, " There are an awful
lot of women out there who think Barbie and the models in magazines represent the ideal
body."(Qtd Barbie, n.pag). It is a possibility that the reason 150,000 women in the
United States undergo breast implant surgery every year is connected to Barbie (Barbie,
It is quite obvious to see that the media has an affect on people, especially
women. However, one can not put all the blame for the problems of society only on the
media. There are many other possible reasons as well. The struggle for beauty seems like
it will be a never-ending problem that of which will probably never disappear despite any
corrective attempts by the media itself. Beauty comes from within, and until the battle
For beauty is over, the world may never see true beauty.

Beats bringing in more H-2B workers or hiring illegals.If legal Americans are no-longer cost-effective, then we need to think seriously about apprenticeships and training young workers for jobs not suited to automation. Find a way to make good use of our legal youth and turning them into productive workers. Win, win.

I can´t speak for other states, but in ND I have been able to renew vehicle registration online for several years. Takes only a couple of minutes and the new tags arrive in the mail a few days later. Now I understand that routine renewals of drivers licenses will mostly be done online. Have not stood in line at the DMV in several years.Food preparation, at least for fast food, is an ideal candidate for robots. Think of pizza. Each ingredient precisely measured and placed with exact precision. And do risk of some nasty person spitting in your food. Staffing a fast food place could come down to technical managers to make sure the machines are running properly.

Only recently has low cost robotics incorporating human like dexterity and visual recognition with AI been possible. Tens of millions of lower wage jobs are going to disappear faster than anyone realizes. It's only a matter of time before a small business can order plug and play robotic workers in a box configurable to specific functions and industries. They are going to be expensive, but that $15/hr employee may be actually costing $30/hr after factoring in low productivity, turnover, worker disruption, tardiness, no shows, theft, law suits, holiday pay, work rules, social security and health insurance. If robotic automation takes the place of two workers on two shifts every day, that's a $350,000/yr

Think about how many agricultural workers were displaced just by the first wave of automation with tractors and harvesters. This same sort of revolution is coming in the low wage labor intensive industries particularly fast food service, food processing plants and migrant farm work. The unskilled or semi-skilled illegal immigrant work force will be decimated.

An absolutely guaranteed result of the push for $15/hour minimum wage. Perfectly predictable and predicted by anyone with an actual grasp of basic economics.

So my boyfriend has been coming over a lot lately but we always end up making out and we barely talk when he comes. What does that mean? Should i be concerned?
He usually comes and we talk for a bit like max half an hour then we make out for a long time he's here then talk a little and get back at it and then we do the same thing until he leaves.

Die VIII Weltmeisterschaften Im Fallschirmsportspringen, or the 8th World Parachute Jumping Championships were held in Leipzig, Germany in 1966. First of all, isn't German an overwhelmingly awesome language? Just keep stringing syllables together! Second of all, I don't understand the concept of a parachute competition. Do you see who can freefall the longest and survive? Do you somehow go for accuracy? Third of all, how hilarious is it that all these guys were leaping out of planes in Leipzig? Perhaps i am easily amused. I love the juxtaposition here of the old biplane with the relatively modern gear our intrepid skydiver is wearing. You'll love this retro airplane t-shirt. This version has the postal information removed. Or if you'd rather have the jumper all by himself, we offer Freefaller.
Please visit our new store: Pen Pal Designs. It's still a work in progress, so not all items are available at this time. But we're working on it!

How to make Camo Cupcakes for your kids birthday party.
White cake mix according to directions. Half of the white cake mix will be used for the green or pink.
I used green since it was a boys birthday party.
10 drops of food coloring is enough.
Use two of the egg yolks (leftover from the white cake mix) and one more whole egg for the chocolate cake mix.
Save money and buy one chocolate frosting and two white frosting from the dollar store. They are smaller but it's all you'll need. 5 – 7 drops of food coloring for the green or pink.
Use a frosting bag with the flower tip. Put all three colors in the bag next to each other so they all come out at the same time.
This was a fun activity for myself and the kids. Let them be part of making their special day happen.

Footprint Upon Water is written by Barbara Fitzgerald. "Who?" you are saying. Well that is exactly the point. Barbara Fitzgerald was born in 1911 in Cork and died in Dublin in 1982. She was the daughter of the Archbishop of Armagh and gained a first in Modern Languages in Trinity. Her husband Michael was a nephew of Edith Somerville of the Somerville and Ross writing partnership, authors of The Experiences of an Irish R. M. (1899). Her first novel We Are Besieged was written during the war and published in 1946. This second novel was not published until a year after after her death in 1983 and is reprinted this year as a 'forgotten novel'.
It is a beautifully produced book with the look of a classic, and would certainly catch your eye on the book shop book shelf. The choice of the Sir William Orpen painting 'The Mirror' sets the tone of shabby country grandeur.
Set in the early twentieth century in Fellowescourt, a Georgian house backed by mountains in the fictional village of Glenmacool in Co. Cork, Susan, orphaned at three when her parents drowned while sailing, lives there with her grandfather Captain Fellowes and her five spinster aunts. One of the aunts, the virtuous Katharine, nicknamed 'the Pope' forms an attachment with a young parish curate which infuriates the Captain. Waiting until he becomes Rector until he asks permission to marry Katharine, even then he is accused by the bully Captain of being after her money- he must meet a minimum income before they can be married, cutting his daughter off from her inheritance in the process. Papa's word is Law. Terrified of their bellowing father, and fearing it wrong to oppose him, his daughters' submission just exacerbates his tyranny.
Uneducated and unaware of the changes happening in the world with the likes of Mrs Pankhurst, we see instead the continuation of the landlord and his tenants world, with Aunt Harriet venturing out on Christmas eve with presents for the village children. The description of the village cottages is grim; dark, dank and dirty. There's encounters with village vets, not considered a gentleman by Harriet's sisters because "if that's so, how does he come to be a vet?", and a gradual emergence of the daughters standing up to their father.
This book has all the ingredients of the 'Big House' novel and is reminiscent of Molly Keane and Kate O'Brien, or even J.G.Farrell's 1970 classic Troubles. It has housemaids and a nanny with her country inflections "it's that that does be worryin' me". It has the elephant foot umbrella stand and a visiting dressmaker. But in New Ireland old attitudes are becoming irrelevant and this is what the daughters will have to face up to on the death of their father, the Colonel. Spanning forty years this novel is just a really good read. You get right into the characters and the writing feels in no way dated. It is an insight into the Ireland of the time and the way certain members of society had to come to terms with the changes taking place.
Officially launched yesterday (7/11/2012) by Mary Kenny, I hope that many people will discover the writing of Barbara Fitzgerald.

Mr. Morton was never part of the "in" crowd on the Council. He was denied any chance of becoming mayor by his fellow councilmembers. He kept his cool about that slap in the face. About a week ago, he was the only councilman to say that partisan national politics is not what he was elected for. That was so refreshing to hear!
Morton also requested police protection when one of the local angries got angry (again). He was attacked by the free-speech-at- any-price crowd. Just tonight, there was a multiple killing at a city council meeting in this country ( Web Link ). Morton's sober decision looks very good, now.
Jack Morton also stood up to Ladorris Cordell, and her race baiting. Good for him...it was long overdue.
Is there a legal way to get him appointed as Mayor, at this late date? He is a man with intregity.
