'Very belligerent' North Korea poses serious security threat: U.S. intelligence chief
Lara Jakes And Donna Cassata, The Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- An unpredictable North Korea, with its nuclear weapons and missile programs, stands as a serious threat to the United States and East Asia nations, the director of National Intelligence warned Tuesday in a sobre assessment of worldwide threats.
Testifying before a Senate panel, James R. Clapper delivered the U.S. intelligence community's overview of global threats posed by terrorism, cyber attacks, weapons of mass destruction, the months-long civil war in Syria and the unsettled situation in post-Arab Spring nations.
The outlook on North Korea comes as the communist regime announced that it was "completely scrapping" the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War and has maintained peace on the peninsula for more than half a century. The Obama administration on Monday slapped new sanctions against North Korea's primary exchange bank and several senior government officials as it expressed concern about the North's "bellicose rhetoric."
"The Intelligence community has long assessed that, in Pyongyang's view, its nuclear capabilities are intended for deterrence, international prestige and coercive diplomacy. We do not know Pyongyang's nuclear doctrine or employment concepts," Clapper told the Senate Intelligence Committee. "Although we assess with low confidence that the North would only attempt to use nuclear weapons against U.S. forces or allies to preserve the Kim regime, we do not know what would constitute, from the North's perspective, crossing that threshold."
North Korea, led by its young leader Kim Jong Un, has defied the international community in the last three months, testing an intercontinental ballistic missile and a third nuclear bomb.
Pressed on North Korea, Clapper said he was "very concerned about the actions of the new young leader." He described the talk emanating from Pyongyang as "very belligerent."
"The rhetoric, while propaganda-laced, is an indicator of their attitude," Clapper said.
Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, the general in charge of U.S. Strategic Command said he is "satisfied" that existing U.S. missile defences can defend against a limited attack from North Korea.
Air Force Gen. Robert Kehler also said he is confident the country is adequately defended from a limited attack by Iran, "although we are not in the most optimum posture to do that today."
In Syria, President Bashar Assad's inability to quash the uprising in his country increases the possibility that he will use chemical weapons against his people, Clapper said.
"We assess that an increasingly beleaguered regime, having found its escalation of violence through conventional means inadequate, might be prepared to use chemical weapons against the Syrian people," he said. "In addition, groups or individuals in Syria could gain access to chemical weapons-related material."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat and chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence committee, described Syria as a "massive and still growing humanitarian disaster under way with no end in sight."
The United Nations estimates more than 70,000 people have been killed in the civil war, which started two years ago against Assad's rule.
Clapper warned about the impact of automatic, across-the-board budget cuts that kicked in March 1, arguing that it will degrade the ability of the intelligence community.
The top U.S. intelligence chief said the budget cuts have jeopardized America's security and safety -- and will only get worse over time. He said the reductions will shave about $4 billion from intelligence budgets. He said that amounted to about 10 per cent of national intelligence programs.
Clapper said if the government is not careful, "we risk another damaging downward spiral."
The report said North Korea has exported ballistic missiles and associated materials to a number of countries, including Iran and Syria. It also displayed what appeared to be a road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile and put a satellite in orbit with a launch vehicle.
"These programs demonstrate North Korea's commitment to develop long-range missile technology that could pose a direct threat to the United States, and its efforts to produce and market ballistic missiles raise broader regional and global security concerns," the report said.
Clapper testified with newly installed CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director Robert Mueller. Feinstein pointed to successes in the battling terrorism -- 105 terrorism-related arrests in the United States in the past four year and 438 convictions since Sept. 11, 2001.
In assessing Iran, the report stated flatly that Tehran is developing nuclear capabilities to enhance its security and influence and "give it the ability to develop a nuclear weapon." But the report stopped short of saying a decision has been made.
"We do not know if Iran will eventually decide to build nuclear weapons," the report said.
Clapper explained that in the last year, Iran has made progress in working toward producing weapons-grade uranium. However, the report said Iran "could not divert safeguarded material and produce a weapon-worth of weapons-grade uranium before this activity is discovered."
The assessment on Iran comes shortly before President Barack Obama's trip to Israel, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that the world has until this summer -- at the latest -- to keep Tehran from building a bomb. The Israeli leader repeatedly has indicated Israel is willing to strike militarily to stop Iran, a step that would likely drag in the United States.
The report said terrorist threats are in transition with an increasingly decentralized global jihadist movement. The Arab Spring, however, has created a spike in threats to U.S. interests in the region "that likely will endure until political upheaval stabilizes and security forces regain their capabilities."
Associated Press writer Richard Lardner contributed to this report.

BUT...We are now open to submissions for both an icon and logo to give you, the designer, more freedom and creative ability in conceptualizing the brand. Please use Screenshot2.png if designing both icon and text.
MarketConnector is a professional network so we are looking for something professional but creative, crisp, and sleek.
We really want something that will create a brand. It doesn't have to be crazy but something that is unique enough that people will recognize it as MarketConnector's logo.. think Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin.. all very simple designs but have a unique touch that people recognize it as being the companies logo.
Please consider the icon will sit next to the fb, twitter, and other social network icons, on our business members websites. Please show the icon by itself when submitting the design.
MarketConnector is a long name so any attempt to shorten the width of the design is a plus but not required (ex: layered).

by the way guys what your general opinion on alternatives to the FONE bandit ? I'm looking for really good quality stuff with a proper bar , with well engineered safaty releases, kites that relaunch and flag properly and with similiar characteristics - power / boost etc to the Bandit ?
SS Rally is a delta, very responsive and not heavy on the bar. Comp stick flags on 1 line, easy to pack down on . Relaunches in a fart of wind. 12 should be as big as you need as its so fast. The 14 gets you maybe 2 knots but not worth thr trasde off as its way slower and 27m not 23m lines.
I'm sure there are other deltas that might be comparable but alot have this crappy "flags on front 2 lines" system which sucks, or a pointless 5th line.

GM's Summary:
Alric and Adelyn pursue their investigation further by pressing Katarina to force the palace guards to allow them into Hoflich's room. Inside, they find his dead body. Soon, a plot to kill the Graf is revealed, and they arrive in the throne room only just soon enough to find a Doppleganger Boris choking the real Boris. The assassin is killed and Boris, upon hearing the party's story, sends them to fetch him Wasmeier. He has already left the city on foot, and is caught just as he magically wrecks the viaduct leading up to the city behind him, almost sending Adelyn plummeting to her death. Alric strikes him severely, but Wasmeier retaliates by spewing burning acid-blood all over Alric, completely incapacitating him. Adelyn finishes the job, but when they return to the palace, the Graf's only reward is to expel them from the Empire.

Attorney Matt Cartwright became the new congressman for part of the Poconos on Thursday, and he got new clothing to mark the occasion.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Attorney Matt Cartwright became the new congressman for part of the Poconos on Thursday, and he got new clothing to mark the occasion.
Rep. Lou Barletta, R-11, visited Cartwright's new office Wednesday on the fourth floor of the Longworth Office Building and turned over the team jerseys donated to him two years ago by the former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Because congressional district boundaries were rewritten last year, Barletta will no longer represent either city, so he thought the jerseys should go to Cartwright.
Barletta, who had displayed the jerseys in large picture frames in his Washington office, said he wanted to reach out to Cartwright and let him know "that maybe I can help with anything he needs when it comes to getting acclimated in Washington."
"I had wanted something that represented our area, and I thought he should have it so he had something that reminded him of home," he said.
Cartwright, 51, a Moosic Democrat, said he and Barletta joked about the Yankees jersey because the team has changed its nickname to the RailRiders.
"I said to him, 'Lou, you and I have to actually work together on getting rails to ride,'" Cartwright said, referring to his desire to return passenger train service to Northeastern Pennsylvania. "He acknowledged that he was ceding that territory to me that covers the Penguins and the Yankees, and he was lamenting that he doesn't have any professional sports franchises in his new district.
"Mr. Barletta and I agree on almost nothing politically, but he gets it. You reach out, you make friendships. No one is more committed to Democratic, progressive ideals than I am, but I like people and Republicans are people, too."
Cartwright took the oath of office Thursday as the first congressman in a newly written district that includes the region's two largest cities, plus Carbondale, Pittston and neighboring parts of Lackawanna, Luzerne and Monroe counties.
As Cartwright began his first term in the U.S. House representing the 17th Congressional District, Barletta will be sworn in for his second two-year term.
In the U.S. Senate, Sen. Bob Casey of Scranton will be sworn in for a second six-year term.
The jobs pay $174,000 a year.
"There's a tremendous sense of responsibility. I represent more than 700,000 people here in Washington," Cartwright said while sitting in the lobby of a Washington hotel on the eve of his swearing-in.
Redistricting — the rewriting of congressional district boundary lines done after every census — shuffled the shape of local congressional districts.
Now, three congressmen instead of two represent the furthest Northeastern part of Pennsylvania: Cartwright, Barletta and Republican Rep. Tom Marino, R-10, who was sworn in for his second term.

Green Party Of Canada Election Tactics 101- Part 2
"I blogged some time ago on the choice of SGI as Elizabeth May's target riding. The post is not rigourously supported with data, but it is directionally sound, and outlines the type of campaign needed and the consequences for the other 307 campaigns.
What it boils down to is that there is a significant block of senior citizens, who have reliably voted for Gary Lunn in the past. They are dominant in SGI, and have to be seperated from the CPC by fair means or foul. The only possibility for Elizabeth to eke out a win in SGI is to convert a significant chunk of these votes to GPC votes, or to get twice as many of them to stay at home on Eday. This week, the first nationally visible attemp to suppress Lunns support was executed, with the joint press conference featuring Elizabeth May, and Linda Keen, the former Nuclear watchdog clumsily fired by Lunn. Given the topicality of nuclear safety, highlighting Lunns bungling of the Chalk River shutdown is a job well done. It will have some legs locally, as it resulted in the demotion of Lunn from the Natural Resources portfolio to Minister for Sport. Granted, it doesn't give anybody a reason to vote Green, but it does speak to an issue on which the GPC has some credibility.
There was a fair bit of local, and national press coverage, so I can guarantee you that it was discussed this weekend at many a dining table in SGI. Doubt has been planted, and a smidgin of Lunn support has been killed off. We can expect that there will be something similar every week until Eday. True to form, the press conference had nothing of value for the other 307 campaigns, but hey, our sole objective is to win in SGI, so who can complain?

I don't know how obvious it was anywhere else but it was sure obvious here that they threw GP candidates under the bus.
Tiny little signs, no candidate name,web address only....and then we were able to watch and hear the national coverage of the excesses provided the leader.
To see this dissection of a strategy and see the insulting aspect directed at the Seniors vote in this riding should cause the EM supporters to hang their head in shame.

You are off the charts awesome Paul! Well done and you're putting most media to shame! Seriously, the CPC war room could stand to hire you.
- March 10, 2012 at 7:04:00 AM PST
The GPC tactics in SGI included the usual sign destruction garbage as well. Most of the "volunteers" were foreign avaaz shock troops. It's a tough riding because of the gulf islands. Gary didn't waste any resources there so who knows what happened at those polls but I'd bet there was at least some stuffing.

lol, I am not sure if I should sue you for mis-representing me as a Geen Party official, or if I should laugh it off. I should perhaps mention that Elizabeth May and I are not friends. Quite the opposite. I will repeat that while what I wrote was and is true, it had nothing to do with what the Green Party actually did. There are some individuals here and there in the Green Party who would have understood what I was writing, and a smaller number who would know how to put into effect what I blogged about, but 99% of the actual, real, experienced campaign workers who could implement a decent campaign plan quit the party years ago. Most of the posts I wrote in that time frame were intended to highlight the incompetence of the management and lack of political skills of the GPC.

I would also like to comment about the actual 'robo-call scandal'. It is not scandalous that people try to turn off their opponents voters. It is not scandalous that campaigns use demon-diallers to narrowcast specific messages. Some partys are better than others at doing it, but it is a simple enough communications tool. What IS scandalous, is when you employ these devices in a criminal vote suppression scheme. Mis-directing voters to phony polling stations, and mis-representing yourself is both slimy politics, and seriously illegal. There is just no comparison.

Bluegreenblogger.. you will get no arguement from any Conservative that voter suppression is a crime and should be punished. nWhere this smear campaign is going off the rails ismthe fact that all evidence of dirty tricks seem to be pointing to other parties. If you have one iota of evidence that the CPC was involved in any voter supression, please let us know because all I have seen is innuendo based on pure fabrication.
Please stop insinuating that Conservatives do not take this seriously ..but until you hav proof it is Conservatives behind it, you need to back off until investigations are completed.

Appreciaiate your comments BGB. I agree 100% that whoever was behind the misleading phone calls should be sent to jail. If it turns out to be the Conservative Party they have lost my vote.
Please note I provided a link to your about-me page in a previous post, and alluded to the fact you are not now an "official" of the party in the comments.
I also welcome the opportunity to debate you on this issue, and start by pointing out the fact that your most recent post is factually incorrect.
"Then there is the sheer volume of calls. Robo-calling is fairly cheap, but it isn't free when you start calling tens of thousands of people. Many of these calls were reported as coming from live telemarketers. Folks, live calling is many things, but cheap it is not. Even if only 10% of the 31,000 complainants to date were substantiated, that still adds up to a lot of money. And it is probable that if there were 31,000 reported incidents, there were many times that number that went unreported. That is a surmise, but I do not for a second think that the number of suppression calls was limited to the 31,000 complainants"
Elections Canada has not had 31,000 "complaints", something you state as fact, but 31,000 "contacts". The contacts were a result of an online petition from a sidegroup with ties to the NDP, Leadnow.ca. They sent out a mass emailing, with the head of Elections Canada as a recipient of that petition.
EC in fact had roughly 30 official complaints after the election, with almost all coming from the riding of Guelph. That count jumped into the hundreds, which was a result of media driven coverage.
If you have the most important fact of your blog post wrong, then it follows all your other accusations, including the finger pointing at the CPC because of CIMS goes out the window. On your own blog, you mentioned GRIMES, the system the Green Party uses to identify both supporters and non-supporters.

By the way, I would be interested in hearing your explanation for this comment:
"What it boils down to is that there is a significant block of senior citizens, who have reliably voted for Gary Lunn in the past. They are dominant in SGI, and have to be seperated from the CPC by fair means or foul".
Fair means or foul? Please explain. Because on it's face value that comment sounds slimy, and could be taken to mean breaking election laws.
- March 10, 2012 at 3:38:00 PM PST
- bluegreenblogger said...
@paul, you conflated the word complainant with complaint. The 31,000 complainants was a number released by Elections Canada. And you are simply not telling the truth when you claim that 31,000 contacts were all generated by one website. They came from a wide variety of sources, and originated in many ridings.
As the quote you abstracted says, I did not claim that they were all true. I believe that many of those 31,00 are probably false, or relating to something different. I also do not for a second think that anything near to the actual total of illegal calls have been reported. It is unlikely because most people do not care, do not remember, or do not know how to make a complaint. It is irrelevant how many criminal calls were made, except as it pertains to the extent of the conspiracy.

Excellent work Paul! I used to live in the Gulf Islands and the kind of crap that goes on there election time would shame the mafia.
- March 10, 2012 at 7:06:00 PM PST
- paulsstuff said...
Capstick and the media already admitted the Leadnow petition was the result of the contacts. Don't know what else I can do to change your mind. NDP MP Pat Martin claimed Capstick had nothing to do with the NDP when Evan Solomon asked about the petition being the result of the EC contacts.
Send a letter to EC and ask them. They usually reply in 48 hours. They won't tell you the number of actual complaints, but will verify that the petition is indeed responsible for the contacts.
- March 10, 2012 at 8:05:00 PM PST

NCSE is twittering! The latest in the creationism/evolution controversy, in 140-character bursts! Join now to start receiving NCSE's tweets.
Former NCSE staffer Nick Matzke found a source for a spurious Darwin quotation — and won a prize for it!
The latest issue of Evolution: Education and Outreach — the new journal aspiring to promote accurate understanding and comprehensive teaching of evolutionary theory for a wide audience — is now available on-line.
On August 29, 1831, Darwin received a letter broaching the idea of his sailing on the Beagle. After his father reluctantly decided to allow him to go and after Captain FitzRoy overcame his qualms about the troubling shape of the young naturalist's nose, Darwin embarked on a voyage around the world — and the rest is history. To celebrate the anniversary, NCSE is offering advance on-line publication of a handful of reviews on recent books about Darwin.
A partial settlement was reportedly reached in Doe v. Mount Vernon Board of Education et al., the case in which a Mount Vernon, Ohio, teacher, was accused of inappropriate religious activity in the classroom — including displaying posters with the Ten Commandments and Bible verses, branding crosses into the arms of his students with a high-voltage electrical device, and teaching creationism.

Metropolis of Corinth
The Metropolis of Korinthos, Sikyonos, Zemenou, Tarsou and Polyfeggous is under the jurisdiction of the Church of Greece.
The Metropolitan of Korinth (Greek: Κόρινθος, Kórinthos), Siyonos, Zemenou, Tarou and Polyfeggous is His Eminence Metropolitan Dionysios (Mantalos) was elected on October 15, 2006, and consecrated on November 26, 2006.
Past ruling Hierarchs
- Damaskinos (Papandreou) 1922-1938
Korinthos, or Corinth, was noted as one of the largest, wealthiest, most powerful, and oldest cities of ancient Greece. In 146 BC, it was destroyed by the Romans until Julius Caesar restored the city in 44 BC as Colonia laus lulia Corinthiensis, shortly before his assassination. Under the Romans, it became the seat of government for Souther Greece (according to Acts 18:12-16).
Korinth was well known for its luxurious, immoral, and vicious behaviours. The Apostle Paul first visited the city (51-52AD) and stayed in the area for eighteen months (see Acts 18:1-18). Here he became acquainted with Aquila and Priscilla, and soon after his departure Apollos came from Ephesus. Apostle Paul intended to pass through Korinth for a second time before visiting Macedonia, however, in the absence of Titus, he travelled through Troas to Macedonia, and then likely passed into Korinth (see II Corinthians 1:15). He remained for three months (see Acts 20:3) and during this time he wrote the Epistle to the Romans.
Paul also wrote two epistles to the "Church of Corinth" (the Christian community established at the time), the First Epistle to the Corinthians and the Second Epistle to the Corinthians. The first epistle reflects the difficulties of maintaining a Christian community in such a cosmopolitan city.
The presence of Peter in Korinth is less certain although probable; the closest evidence in favour of this is in I Corinthians 9:5],[1] where it is presupposed that the Korinthians knew that he traveled about with his wife.
The area was laid to waste by the invading Goths during 395 AD but the major earthquake of 521 AD destroyed the Korinth established and well known to Paul, this was further devastated by another earthquake in 1858. Early in the 13th century, it was conquered by Geoffroi I de Villehardouin following the Fourth Crusade. In 1458, it was captured by the Ottoman Turks and in 1687 seized by the Venetians, who then lost Korinth to the Turks in 1715. In 1822, it was captured by Greek insurgents.

Terrorism continues to impact populations around the world. Acts of violence motivated by political or spiritual views leave physical and emotional scars on victims, their families and the global psyche. Likewise, they shape domestic and international political landscapes.
On Nov. 1 and 2, terrorism expert Chris Harmon will address the topic during two conversations at the University of Houston's Honors College (inside the university's M.D. Anderson Library). Both talks are free and open to the community. To RSVP or for additional details, visit the event's website.
Harmon is the author of "Terrorism Today." He has taught courses on terrorism, counterterrorism, and strategy and policy at the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C., and the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies in Germany. He holds the Matthew C. Horner Chair of Military Theory at Marine Corps University, where he has taught for more than two decades.
At UH, Harmon will host the following two events:
- How Terrorist Groups End – 5 p.m., Nov. 1 in the Honors College Commons (second floor of the M.D. Anderson Library) Hundreds of terrorist organizations have faded just as quickly as they have risen. Harmon will explore five common reasons that contributed to the dissolution of terrorist groups. He also will discuss Al Qaeda and its parallels with 19th century anarchism (a movement that disappeared by the 1920s). Harmon regularly lectures on this topic and contributed a chapter on it for a book he co-edited, "Toward a Grand Strategy Against Terrorism."
- A Conversation: The Ideas Behind Terrorism – 2 p.m., Nov. 2 in room 212L of the M.D. Anderson Library Harmon will focus on the ideas that perpetuate acts of terror. In his book, "Terrorism Today," he addresses the leaders of extremist movements and how they have engaged their followers through their talents as thinkers, communicators and persuaders. During his talk, Harmon will address the ideological underpinnings of contemporary terrorist groups and share thoughts on nationalism, neo-fascism, communism, anarchism and religion. After sharing his thoughts on the topic, he will take questions from the audience and lead a general discussion.

On the Right Trek
Chris T.
Now that Benedict Cumberbatch's character's name is confirmed as John Harrsion in Star Trek Into Darkness, do you feel like an idiot for the rant you posted last week?
No I do not. I stand by it.
If Cumberbatch is playing a character called John Harrison, as seems to be the case, why they hell didn't J.J. Abrams just tell us? It's not a name any Trek fans recognize. It's not even an interesting name. What did he gain by making us wonder about it for so goddamned long? The obvious answer is buzz, but that's not exactly correct.
There's a difference between "holy shit did you see all the new footage in the new trailer!?" and "I wonder what Benedict Cumberbatch's characters name is." One builds excitement and the other builds irritation, and I'd say this is firmly the latter. Moreso because Abrams purposefully turned this non-issue into this huge ordeal.
Now, there's the thought since that Cumberbatch was initially announced to be playing a Trek canon character - and John Harrison is not a Trek canon character - that perhaps he takes a new name, or that John Harrison is a fake name. That changes nothing. John Harrison turning into or revealing himself as another person is a plot point, and clearly supposed to be a surprise. I don't want to be spoiled on things that happen in the movie. But if the antagonist has a name, that's he's going to be called for most of the movie, yeah, that's not a spoiler. That's just part of the basic plot summary.
One more thing: This is totally a guess on my part, but it makes sense to me and if I'm right it'll be a spoiler, so spoiler warning for the rest of the paragraph: I'd lay even money that "John Harrison" takes the name Khan by the end of the film. Partially because of that Star Trek II shot from the end of the Japanese Into Darkness trailer, partially because of the earlier "he's a canon character assertion," partially because a change from a nobody character into a classic villain satisfies all the conflicting info given about him, and partially because J.J. Abrams will look like a total douchecanoe for creating this whole furor if the character simply stays John Harrison. And if I'm correct, then he has to be Khan, because "But you see Kirk, I was Gary Mitchell all along!" means nothing to 97% of the movie audience, (same with any other non-Khan character). Only Khan has the name recognition to pull off a reveal like this.
This would be awful, of course, and I hope I'm wrong. This is what I'm expecting, though.
Reality Bites
Alan Bacchiochi:
I have a niggling doubt regarding the spread of zombism. First let us assume that one bit will result in becoming infected. But it also seems that zombies are hell bent on devouring everyone in their path. They are not just taking a nibble and strolling along. Wouldn't that lead to a lot more eaten people than infected people. Moreover, if their gluttony results in less infections wouldn't they be that much easier to wipe out? Most presentations have the world going to zombie batshit hell seemingly overnight and that doesn't ring true to me. Anything in the postal bag about this?
There's a couple different questions in here, but I got 'em. First, yes, zombies do go for the full human buffet. But we living humans try to make that as difficult as possible. Most zombie infections will occur like they do in the better zombie movies - random bites and scratches that occur while humans are hell bent on running/fighting. There'll be plenty of minor wounds, and thus there'll be plenty of people who will turn into zombies.
Second, most of this will happen during the initial chaos, before people truly realize what's happening. People will be walking along, minding their own business when a seemingly crazy dude starts trying to eat their foot. Any sane person runs away… to become infected and infect someone else the same way. Imagine this repeated pretty much constantly around the world. This gives the zombie outbreak a foothold, then general panic, lack of survival skills and simple denial make most people easy zombie pickin's. Leaving the small groups of people who have the manpower, skills, and ability to get along in horrific circumstances who'll have the ability to actually survive. For a while.
Skeletons in the Closet
Jon Provo:
Ho there, Postman!
I have an rpg-ish question for you, one that arose from a game of Palladium's Beyond the Supernatural I was running some years back. I'll have to set the stage a bit but please note that this was a spur of the moment game, I didn't plan it and never intended for it to get this insane.
My players' investigators were hired by a man (basically Peter Lorre from the Maltese Falcon) to discover why his poodles kept exploding. During the course of their investigation they found a book on demon summoning that dealt with sacrificing lesser creatures to attain demonic power, the more animals sacrificed the more powerful the entity summoned, in the client's house. They also found a linen closet just stuffed to the brim with freeze dried toy poodles. I was then asked a very sensible (for the situation) question. How many poodles were in the closet?
We then spent the next three hours of actual real time researching the problem. Sadly this was before the days of Google and the internet was less forthcoming than we'd expected. For the sake of the game I finally settled of 72, but we always felt like that wasn't quite right. We tried writing Mensa but never received an answer and now I turn to you Rob… how many poodles were in the closet?
So I was all set to make up a number and present it on its own, as fact, but much like you and your players did, I got sucked into trying to find the real answer.
There's no standard linen closet size - some are smaller than standard closets, some are larger to hold things in addition to linens. Most ceilings are 8-feet tall, and most non-coat closets are about 2-feet deep. There's no standard width - closets just take up as much room as the floorplan allows - but 4-feet is a decent average. So 2 x 4 x 8 equals 64 cubic feet.
Now for the poodles. You might be surprised to learn there are no resources on the internet when you type "How big is an average toy poodle torso," although everyone agrees that most toy poodles are 10-inches long. More problematically, toy poodles are not ideally suited for stacking - they have tiny heads and extra tiny butts but they bulge out at the shoulders. It'd be like trying to stack eggplants.
So I'm going to make a guess that, with careful positioning (you'd have to fold in the arms and legs like the Voltron lions, that's for sure) that you could get four average-sized, freeze-dried toy poodles in a cubic foot. Times 64, that's 256, give or take.
In related news, I have totally creeped myself out. Oh wait, there's a P.S…
P.S.: It didn't ultimately matter as they decided to burn the house down. They never learned why the man's dogs kept blowing up like over filled balloons or how he'd planed of reviving them for the ritual sacrifice. They just burnt that s.o.b.'s house down.
…and that sums up pretty much every single RPG session I played in from 1990-92.
Derezzed Delight
Russell Christianson:
Any word on whether Daft Punk will be scoring the new Tron 3 movie that has been getting a lot of buzz?
No word, but Disney seems to be making a lot of good decisions lately, so I imagine they'll stick with 'em. The one thing pretty much everyone could agree about Tron: Legacy was that Daft Punk did a fantastic job with the soundtrack. Besides, can you think of anyone else on the planet better-suited to the task, even if Disney wanted to hire someone else? I can't.

Henry Lawton:
Dear Postman,
What exactly is a "shit-ton?"
Thank you in advance.
256 freeze-dried poodles.
Lights, Camera, Action
Joshua Ninke:
I never get tired of watching a good old fashioned action movie. Stuff blows up, the hero keeps his cool, and bad guys fall from skyscrapers in penance for their crimes.
So I ask you, who is the ultimate action hero? There are so many to choose from. Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Willis, Norris... I just realized I accidentally started writing out the cast of Expendables 2..
I would easily and happily tell you that the first Die Hard is the greatest action movie ever made, but action hero? The three latter Die Hard movies aren't even close to great. But does the average rule out John McClane, or does his one film of perfection outweigh everything else?
But - as I believe you're implying by listing action movie actors, and not characters - I have to go with Schwarzenegger. Look at the pedigree: the Conan movies, Predator, Commando, the Terminator movies, Total Recall, True Lies, The Expendables, The Running Man, Red Heat - no one comes close.
And remember, Schwarznegger was a foreign bodybuilder with a near intelligible accent, and he's not that good an actor, either (seriously, Willis and Stallone occasionally play roles, but Schwarzenegger is just Schwarzenegger, every single time). There's no way he should have become a star. But instead he became one of the biggest box office draws in the world, purely on his massive charisma - which was so considerable it helped him get elected governor twice. Between the sheer volume of his awesome action work and the degree of difficulty in which he completed it, I'd say Arnold is definitely the ultimate action star.

Does adding Turmeric to your lifestyle have such a huge impact on scientifically proven health conditions?
Well, Humble Turmeric has stood out as one of the most useful additions for cooking. But that is not all; there is so much fuss about these turmeric supplements of late. The word on the street has it that the Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric supplement makes one of the most healing foods on earth. Can that really be true? A single supplement with such a huge medical impact!
There is no point in dismissing this as a lie, so instead we decided to carry out a little research and find out what ?this so-called turmeric supplement? has to offer. Don?t be shocked by the results, but here is what we found out.
What do you get for your money?
The main difference between the so much talked about Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric and any other similar product out there is the word Liposomal. The point is that turmeric on its own has health benefits but the body is unable to absorb the nutrients. In reality, most of the nutrients are passed out when you pee and the body hardly gets to benefit. However, with the Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric things are different. The Liposomal in the product helps in protecting the nutrients in the product such that they are delivered to the blood stream. These nutrients are then delivered to your cells and are able to function properly. The question you should be asking now is; what are the benefits of the Turmeric nutrients supplied to the cells?
The Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric supplement has many health benefits than you can count. The main benefits of the supplement include:
- Supports cardiovascular fitness by protecting the heart from the damaging effects of chronic inflammations such as high cholesterol and so on.
- Helps in protecting the body against cognitive decline: The turmeric reduces brain plaque by dissolving abnormal proteins in the brain. The abnormal proteins are the main cause of memory loss.
- It is one of the most proven anti-inflammatory substances and as a result, it protects the body from inflammation.
- Helps in preventing stress and anxiety: The Turmeric smoothens both the mind and the nervous system making you happy and relaxed.
- Detoxifies the body: The supplement is a great detoxifier; it stimulates the liver giving it the ability to clean all the horrid substances like heavy metals from the body.
- Most importantly the supplement promotes a young and healthy skin tone. The antioxidant capabilities of the supplement make it able to get rid of free radicals and inflammation.
Who is it for?
We thought that the Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric would have more complications due to its diverse health benefits. On the contrary, this great product turns out to be fit for all people. It does not matter your age, size, skin color, location or anything else. If anything, anyone can use the Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric without experiencing any health complications. If you ever tried other similar products and you got a wrong result, this is the solution you need.
Who on earth are Purathrive?
Purathrive is one of the oldest and most trusted manufacturers of clinically proven health supplements. They are FDA registered and certified. All their products are manufactured through a process that has been verified and proven to be healthy .They are compliant to the heavy metal limits of California. They always offer a 60 day trial period to their customers. If you are not satisfied during that period you are free to return the product and receive a full refund of your money.
The Pros
This is a full Spectrum Turmeric and not isolated curcumin, which is what other types of turmeric tend to offer. The Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric is what you require getting the full health benefits of this supplement. The Purathrive are the only company that has been able to prove that the liposome turmeric works. This product, unlike others, uses pure liquid liposome and not an emulsion with the gel consistency. There is no other product that can be said to be 100% organic, gluten-free, GMO-free, and GMP certified other than the Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric. This product is made in the good interest of the USA and is 100 % natural.
The Cons
you probably have used another similar product and you didn?t get the expected results. Well, this is possible because many fake turmeric producers have infiltrated the market. The main reason as to why you didn?t get the result is that your body simply couldn?t absorb the nutrients. The Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric is 100% beneficial since it has the Liposomal product which ensures that the nutrients are absorbed in your body system. What you actually need to do, is get over that little setback and focus on the main benefits of this amazing product.
The Bottom Line
Well, all you should know is that all we wanted when we carried out our little research was to bring down Turmeric as another useless product in the market. To our surprise things turned up completely different. We actually came out strongly to let you know that the real solution to most of your medical problems was finally out.
Fine, we all know that advertising for this product is a little bit overboard. If anything that was the main reason as to why we doubted it at first. But then we realized that the fact that a product has been over advertised doesn?t mean it is really bad.
The Turmeric extract supplement is a scientifically proven health supplements that truly works well for your health. The best thing about the producers of the supplement is that they actually allow you to test the product for two months. Well if you still have any doubts, that should be a good enough reason to get them out. Just so we are clear, don?t just go around and buy any turmeric product you find out there. Ensure that the turmeric supplement you order for is the Purathrive Liposomal Turmeric. The product has been proven and it is the only one known to work all the advertised wonders. Well if people are talking about it, it is probably worth it.

Mr. Speaker, the hon. member spoke a lot about her own feelings and emotions and those of her family and friends. I would like to present some facts.
The Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians had this to say:
—it is clear to Canada's emergency physicians that the gun registry has, in fact, worked and the number of deaths from inappropriate firearms use has dropped dramatically.... So we will now all be unwilling participants in a social experiment that will undoubtedly place Canadian lives at risk.
The Canadian Network of Women's Shelters & Transition Houses stated:
It is actually in rural communities that the rates of firearm death and injuries are higher. And because of their availability, rifles and shotguns are the guns most often used in violence against women....
The Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime said:
—the majority of victims' groups we have spoken to have made it clear: Canada should maintain its long-gun registry.
The RCMP and Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police have stated:
—the long-gun registry: contributes to community and police officer safety and provides preventative and investigative value to law enforcement and the communities...
Why would the government want to eliminate all of the data that is absolutely needed by these people to do their work?

Reporters in Tripoli are having a hard time sorting out fact from fiction. Rebel fighters are roaming the streets of Libya's capital, more organized fighters have reportedly breached the walls of Qaddafi's sprawling Bab al-Azizya compound, and loyalist gunmen are set up on roofs around the cities, taking potshots at all who pass.
So I'll caveat this post with the fact that I'm in Boston, that the situation in Tripoli could turn on a dime, and that any firm predictions about how and when the end will come for Muammar Qaddafi are likely to be proven wrong. This is not to say he isn't finished. He is. Reuters is reporting from the ground that rebel fighters have moved into the Bab al-Azizya after fierce fighting for much of the day (residents in nearby homes say stray bullets have filled the street for hours).
The compound – about four square miles of private homes, barracks, and military command centers – is both the symbolic and actual heart of Qaddafi's regime, forbidden to all but regime loyalists until just days ago. Rebels are convinced there may be a network of underground tunnels there (though a similar conviction about tunnels riddling the ground beneath Qaddafi's main barracks in Benghazi wasn't born out when the eastern city fell in February).
The fact that Qaddafi's forces can't hold the line there shows how much NATO sorties and the improving rebel fighters have tipped the scales against him.
But for all the tactical skill of the rebel army based in western Libya that choked off Qaddafi's ties to the outside world in the past month with help from French and British trainers, video from Tripoli and surrounding towns continues to show a lack of radios and basic communications equipment, and frequently a lack of discipline (exhibit A: The constant celebratory gunfire in Green Square the night the rebels rolled into the center of town).
That implies that securing Tripoli is far from a straightforward task. The city is bound to have die-hard loyalists who have profited immensely under Qaddafi and believe regime propaganda that says the rebels are agents of foreign powers bent on Libya's destruction. There are also likely to be far more people who have supported the regime, and are afraid of rebel reprisals if they lay down their weapons.
Under Qaddafi, dissent was brutally crushed, his torture chambers filled with people who dared to speak out against his capricious, one-man rule. In the early '80s, as Qaddafi tightened his grip, public executions were carried out by his revolutionary committees.
Now that the shoe is being fitted for the other foot, many in Tripoli likely fear they'll be dealt with in the same fashion – at the hands of rebel fighters. In the absence of clear evidence that the rebels in the city are under a unified command, whose leaders could reach out and guarantee security for Qaddafi's fighters in exchange for laying down their arms, a rational choice for many may be to fight on.
Adding to the confusion was the strange episode of Seif al-Islam, Qaddafi's son and a key political fixer for his father who has frequently dismissed Libya's uprising as filled with "rats." On Monday, rebels claimed that Seif had been arrested – a position supported by top International Criminal Court prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who has warrants on both Seif and Qaddafi himself.
But early in the morning on Tuesday, Seif rolled up to the Rixos Hotel in a convoy to chat with foreign journalists and to promise continued resistance.
Mohammed Qaddafi, another son, was said to be arrested – and even gave an interview on Al Jazeera while he said he was in rebel custody at his home. That interview was cut short when gunfire broke out in the house, and Mohammed began saying his prayers. The line went dead. A few hours later he was reported to have escaped – but who exactly originally held him, and the details of his escape, are unclear.
The confusion surrounding the two sons sends as clear a signal as any that the fog of war remains thick – and the fact that Seif was able to safely navigate the center of Tripoli tells us that real control of Tripoli remains contested.
What does this mean in the long run? Not that Qaddafi will win the day. Any chance of that seems well past. But the speed with which rebel leaders can coordinate their efforts (many of the fighters in Tripoli don't answer to the eastern-based Transitional National Council, at least not yet), consolidate their positions in Tripoli, and pacify the city (with a minimum of bloodshed), will set the tone for the transitional period.
Days of street fighting in Tripoli will create room for looting, for Qaddafi's holdouts to make mischief, and for challenges to the credibility of the soon-to-be victorious rebels to be challenged by Libyans ready to jettison Qaddafi but perhaps unwilling to cede their own positions of influence inside the country.
