In the pre-SUV days, it was buyers of sports cars who were accused of overcompensating for certain anatomical shortcomings. It didn't help that car designers have often created forms that ape the male babymaker. What's the most phallic car of all time?
Indeed, the car that excels in this department is also touted as one of the most beautifully-designed vehicles in automotive history. (Take THAT Georgia O'Keefe.) That car is indeed the Jaguar E-Type. (Thanks to Cory for today's QOTD)

Family feuds over estates are always going to be messy and, when they involve an MP, you can expect the media to monitor the situation closely.
And so it is with NZ First MP Bredon Horan. You can read the story here
But what really amused me was the statement by his leader Winston First who said "I was interested as the leader of a political party when one of my MPs is subject of allegations. But I deal in facts, that's all I am interested in and I haven't seen any."
Winston Peters interested in facts! That's a new twist. What about repaying the $156k he rorted from the taxpayer to fund the NZF election campaign ... that's a fact.

Government Standardization Of An Electric Car Battery
Government Standardization Of An Electric Car Battery
Standardization specifically of the batteries would stifle innovative companies like Tesla. Any time the government gets involved, specifically in the US, the screw it up.
Think about it this way, whose battery would you choose to be the standard? Probably GM's since the US government owns a significant part of the company. The battery is very modular, which makes it easy ti embed in different parts of the car (e.i. flat plate, block where the engine would be, T shaped, etc). Then you may run into the situation of switching a battery for a lower battery, etc, etc. Honestly, I would not want to go to a switch up station and have some shaddy attendant put a 160 mile range and take my 300 mile range.
I would go even further and encourage different battery shapes (less theft). In the US, people are jacking up cars and taking off the catalytic convertors, I don't want to go out to my car and see my pack missing because so criminal took it and sold it to a person with a "Leaf" to extend their range. Make it so no one else uses that design, that way, less of a black market for stolen batteries
Technical standards are generally developed by industry committees, not by the government.
Standards are also a double-edged sword. They can improve flexibility and compatibility, but they also tend to lock in the current generation of technology.
Please stop forcing me to go to the gas station.
Right now we have 300 mile batteries. In the future we might have 1000 mile batteries. If we standardize the pack to one size and shape we might be stuck with a 500 mile limit and paying fees to gas stations for battery rentals plus charging.
If the battery size is standard then it would obviously have to be a small battery that could fit into a small car. I guess Tesla owners would have to rent 3 or 4 batteries at a time.
With electric charging stations, it eliminates the need for special locations like gas stations. Hotels would have charging stations to rent with the room. Restaurants, rest stops, parking garages, hundreds of places could all offer charging options.
I am curious what happens to a dead lithium battery tho. What goes in land fills? What gets reused? I'm sure you all have discussed that already.... where's it at?
Lithium is almost 100% re-usable, and is quite valuable. No disposal issue there!
http://www.betterplace.com/ is about installing a network of charge points and battery swap stations. They solved the two problems mentioned above:
swap stations are capable of handling all types of batteries as long as the robotic apparatus can handle the weight and can swap it from unterneath the car. No need to squeeze everybody to one standardized pack.
in their business model you buy the EV car but you lease the battery pack. So the capacity and quality of the battery pack will not worry you as long as it carries you the desired distance.
It is a radical different approach to EVs, compared to Tesla. The potential of battery tech advancements (capacity+price) to betterplace and Tesla cannot be judged as of today.
Someone opined recently that BP and similar ideas were toast, that the model had been bypassed by developments in longer range batteries. Are you up to date with progress, or lack of same?
Thanks for the update on recycling Brian H.
I don't agree with that opinion.
My information is from the better place web site and interviews with Shai Agassi (CEO) and Carlos Ghosn (CEO Renault/Nissan) on Youtube. Shame on me! If things go astray that would be the last places where problems would be reported in full concern.
IMHO, the BP business model takes into full account possible improvements in battery tech. The model doesn't break if battery packs with range>100m become a commodity. It would even help them by allowing greater distances between their battery swap station and by having customers do less battery swapping (for which they get a refund in some circumstances). The BP model is about selling you the electric miles, like a cell phone operator is selling you minutes. Cheaper batteries will decrease their costs, not their revenue.
As BP isn't coming to Germany, I will stick with Tesla instead.
And just where would you stash this "extended range battery"? People have weird ideas about towing trailers etc.
It's all nonsense.
Seems awfully unlikely. Batteries aren't standardized by the government for anything else, including current car batteries. There are standards, industry driven, and the government has safety standards, but dictating standard EV batteries is incredibly unlikely.
One thing I learned about the ongoing nuclear accident in Japan: after the backup battery racks ran out, emergency power could no longer be provided to the reactor cooling systems. Mobile power generators had been trucked to the site, but could not be connected to the emergency power system. The plugs did not match.
So please, Tesla engineers, GM engineers, Nissan engineers, Better Place engineers: make sure our charging cables will plug. Always. Everywhere. Get over the desire to design a "better" plug that fit's your business model and go with the standards.
Consumers want interoperable charge points by mid 2013 all over the continent, be it AC 1 phase in North America or AC 3 phase in Europe.
VolkerP, since I have had interesting discussions with you before please go to the "Esoteric Ramblings" thread and check out the experiment and underlying objucetive, any input will be appreciated.
I just heard a different story about the mobile connections: the control/electrical room was under water! That would have made "short" work of any connectors.
I personally don't want the Oil Company infrastructure anywhere near my future Tesla. That just gives them the control over the new "Fuel" and the ability to overcharge us just like they do with oil. I'd much prefer money be spent on R&D of better, faster charging batteries so that we can take the control back from Big Oil, and keep it.
Congrats ifilm77.com! I think you added 'Get off gas!!!' to your standard post. At least that's a change.
The Feds don't even seem to be able to handle standardization of power input plugs for EVs. A very smart idea are the inductive charging mats that take car of everything, including using the source power that will result in the fastest charging for your
particular car.
As for BetterPlace, I don't have any confidence that it will even get built before batteries get so cheap that the concept falls on its sword. I also wonder whether this technology can handle battery packs with cooling systems. Certainly that would at least require a standard cooling hose interface, which doesn't exist and probably never will. There is also the rather absurd notion that one could build enough of these stations to handle something like the Leaf's 75 miles of range. The idea of stopping for a swap every 65 miles or so is just plain crazy.
Considering the time spent getting into these stations, waiting in line and so forth, I would be willing to bet that these stations will consume more travel time than would be spent with a Model S 300 miler. There is also the cost of Better Place - all that money bulding these stations and buying those batteries will be paid by the consumer, and include a profit for Better Place. Even if you recharge at home, you will pay more for your batteries by using Better Place. But if your Tesla , for example, only has a 160 mile range, you can still travel. I haven't taken a trip in 5 years
over 300 miles. So exactly why do I need to save a few minutes
on a couple of days every couple of years? Better Place doesn't really solve the problem of battery prices, since those batteries
from them will cost more than they would otherwise cost. And with faster recharges available (like the 10 minute fast charge some proposed EVs will have), Better Place quickly becomes the worst way to handle battery and charging costs.
Battery prices, according to Elon, are dropping 6 to 8% per year. In five years, that makes BetterPlace obsolete, even if not
already obsolete. Now someone please explain why it would have any significant effect, on anything, if Better Place were built and allowed, let's say, five times more EVs on the road during that 5 year span? We're talking peanuts here. We have 265 million cars in this country. Transforming even 5 million into electrics ain't gonna do nothin'. Period. You can rather fraudulently cast the effect in terms of thousands of tons of CO2 etc, to exaggerate its importance, but the fact is that all this cost and effort would eliminate less than 2% of anything undesirable associated with gasoline combustion. So exactly why is everyone so hyper and anxious to rush into buying into a technology that clearly, at the lower price points, is not economically competitive? The problem with so many greenies is that they are often unbelievably unrealistic and are driven almost 100% by their emotions, not logic. How else explain their opposition to nuclear power, especially when fast reactor technology has now arrived. I pin my hopes on the next generation, which, as always, will correct the extremes of the previous generation (and add some of their own, most likely).
Hi Ramon,
lot's of topics in your post, will try to address a few.
taking care of 256m ICE cars will take some time. TESLA does the top-down approach and better place tries to introduce the EV for Joe Sixpack. Obviously, neither one will replace all existing ICE cars within the next few years.
The BP model addresses the problem of high up front cost for entry level EVs. And yes it takes a lot of initial investment in infrastructure. But BP is not run by greenies. Their business plan doesn't appear to me to consist of wishful thinking. They plan for battery technology to improve. It will allow them to undermatch the price for ICE car.
Finally: Every generation gets the next generation they deserve :-)
Tomorrows world should be designed to match our visions, not to be a linear extrapolation of quarterly reports for the shareholders.
VolkerP, That last sentence was cool, ever consider doing any political speechwriting on the side,ha.
I am not allowed to disclose for whom I write speeches :-)
Listen carefully and you might detect my quirky English in some places.
VolkerP, I know someone who "your people" could contact "their people" and bet you could get a sustantial contract with,ha. That line was a "classic" for sure, actually contained a lot of truth in it to. You got to be thinking "next presidential election in the USA",ha. Don't sweat any quirky english, mine is worse than quirky and I live in the USA. I am having a lot of trouble with spelling lately although I am now proofreading, just not carefully enough.
I think standard battery types would be a good thing. This would allow for more competition which would drive the price down.

variable star
variable star, star that varies, either periodically or irregularly, in the intensity of the light it emits. Other physical changes are usually correlated with the fluctuations in brightness, such as pulsations in size, ejection of matter, and changes in spectral type, color, or temperature. The class to which a variable star belongs is determined by a plot of its light curve, which is a graph of the star's apparent brightness versus time. The light curve reveals its maximum and minimum brightness and gives evidence for periodicity, if any exists. The approximately 30,000 known variable stars are grouped into three broad classes: the pulsating variables and the eruptive variables (both of which are intrinsic variables, because the variation is caused by a physical change within the star) and the eclipsing variables (which are extrinsic variables, because the variation is caused by two or more bodies eclipsing one another).

School run Sandy & Louis's little friend
Sandra Bullock picked up her son Louis from school yesterday but had to wait while he wrapped up his conversation with a little friend. I love the expression on his face: equal parts affection and suspicion. Like, oh I really want to be buds, but have you been sent here by your mother to infiltrate my ma's inner circle? Because if that's the case, you need to answer to me.
Don't front like the thought would never occur to you.
Let's say your kids ended up being in the same class as any of the Jolie-Pitts. As IF you wouldn't sell out your daycare bff for an invitation to the annual Jolie-Pitt holiday open house for the underprivileged neighbourhood children (if such a thing exists).

VLC is a media player by the VideoLAN team designed to emphasize portability and compatibility. Historically, it was groundbreaking for Linux media software by being the first player to ship with libdvdcss, letting it play encrypted DVDs. This is now a feature that almost all players include, and is no longer an advantage.
To install, simply run
# pacman -S vlc
If you want to play audio CDs, you should also install
It seems VLC does not offer an option to change language in its Preferences menu. But you can use the LANGUAGE= prefix. For instance:
$ LANGUAGE=fr vlc %U
will switch VLC interface to french.
VLC can be "skinned" for a different look and feel. You can obtain new skins for VLC from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php.
Installation of skins is simple just download the skin you wish to use and copy it to:
Open up VLC, click tools->preferences. When the preferences window opens up you should be in the "Interface" tab
Choose the "Use custom skin" radio button, and browse to the location of the downloaded skin.
Restart VLC for the change to take effect.
Web Interface
Run VLC with the parameter "--extraintf=http" to use both the desktop and web interface.
# vlc --extraintf=http
Or you can enable this feature in the UI by navigating to "View" > "Add Interface" > "Web Interface".
VLC defaults to port 8080: http://127.0.0.1:8080
Edit /usr/share/vlc/lua/http/.hosts to allow remote connections. You will need to restart VLC in order for changes to take effect.
Control using hotkeys or cli
Get script at: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=112035%23p112035#p112035
Follow instructions in script to setup a socket for vlc.
Either run the script from the command line or register the script with keyboard shortcuts through your desktop.
Preventing multiple instances
The default settings for VLC is to open a new instance of the program for each file that is opened. This can be annoying if you are using VLC for something like playing your music collection. To remedy the problem you can do the following:
- Open VLC
- Go to Tools -> Preferences (Ctrl+P)
- Go to the Interface tab and find the "Instances" section.
- Tick "Allow only one instance"
- Optionally tick "Enqueue files when in one instance mode" - This will keep the current file playing and add any newly opened files to the current playlist.
PulseAudio Lag
When using PulseAudio as the audio output module, you might encounter audio/video sync problems. These problems can usually be fixed by editing
/etc/pulse/default.pa or
~/.pulse/default.pa to reflect the following changes.
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 .else
Video broken or other issue after upgrade
Now and then VLC will have some issues with configuration even in minor releases. Before making bug reports, remove or rename your configuration located at
~/.config/vlc and confirm whether the issue is still there.
Segmentation fault
When starting VLC you can get a segfault, a possible workaround to this is running the following:
/usr/lib/vlc/vlc-cache-gen -f usr/lib/vlc/plugins
And reinstalling the VLC with:
pacman -S vlc

Poetry Dispatch No.129 | November 24, 2006
LOVE POETRY WEEK, Friday, No.6
EXERCISE by Martha McFerren
for Dennis
He's having the mid-life crisis
he promised me he wouldn't have.
"You only crash," he explained,
"if you haven't reached your dreams.
But I've never known what I wanted."
He knows now what he wants: young.
He looks in the long mirror,
tugging the slack in his jacket,
looks in his shaving mirror,
even with no razor, examines
the new jowling, the graying,
the thickening around the bend.'
He's mumbling about fifty,
though he's three years from fifty.
He likes to brood ahead.
At least I know where he is:
in the basement pumping iron.
He hasn't emptied the bank account
and split for India to find himself
amidst the rice. In cold light
I check him out and decide,
He still looks mighty good.
He deserves a straw boater
and spiffy white cricket flannels,
cricket flannels let out a trifle.
Women pay boodles' in beauty parlors
for that silver in the forelock.
I haven't done panic yet. I was
old before my time; the time
just seems to be catching up.
McFerrens age well. We're crazy,
but we keep our hair and our hides.
Still, it's coming. The two of us
have discussed holding hands
when it gets too awful, and jumping
which would take some driving
off the first cliff we can find
in Louisiana. I suggested handcuffs,
in case one pulls a cop-out
and stands there yelling, "SOR-ry,"
while the other heads for the dirt.
I don't lift weights, but mornings
after he's left for work,
I put on my 45's and dance. Fast.
from WOMEN IN CARS, Helicon Nine Editions, 1992

Last week, Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway gave a "key to the city" to NFL player Michael Vick.
The action spawned outrage from many North Texans (including our Facebook fans) and lead to Mayor Tom Leppert releasing the following statement on Monday afternoon:
The action taken was not sanctioned by my office and was not an official ceremonial honor on behalf of the City of Dallas. Official Keys to the City are presented by the Mayor, or an elected official designated by the Mayor, and reserved, on a limited basis, for an elected official of international status. Clearly, this was not the case in this situation and done without my knowledge or approval.
Given these circumstances I have requested the City Manager propose guidelines to prevent this situation in the future.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Caraway also released a statement in conjunction with Leppert, saying:
Under current guidelines, Council members are given the opportunity to present a ceremonial key to the city to national celebrities, including sports figures. These ceremonial gifts are different from the official keys to the city presented by the Mayor. Since making some bad choices, Michael Vick has devoted time to speaking to children about staying in school, staying away from drugs, making positive choices about picking friends, and the importance of education. That was the focus of the event. I have also devoted a lot of my time to helping teenagers by hosting more than a dozen teen summits at City Hall – all with positive themes - to make sure our youth get on a path to success and prosperity. For those reasons, Michael Vick deserves such an action from my office.
I care deeply about animals. I fully support our new initiative "Dallas Loves Animals" campaign. I have two dogs of my own and I am deeply sorry to offend anyone who loves animals.
I welcome a clarification of the guidelines regarding ceremonial keys to the city.

Women for Trump, babes for Trump
Women for Trump, babes for Trump.
These fabulous looking ladies are all Donald Trump's supporters who believe The Donald unequivocally got what it takes as a leader to save the United States of America, a nation in crisis, currently riffled with Muslim terrorist attacks, cop killings, and racial divisiveness, from destruction by the unholy alliance of corrupt traitors, globalists, and prominent Islamofascists with jihadist Hussein Obama as the de facto terrorist Muslim Brotherhood's proxy; and hopefully reunite and restore the country to its former greatness.
(Click to enlarge)
(Click to enlarge)
Leftist libtards & Democrats in unison: "Trump will never be the President of the United States".
Donald Trump's campaign message: MAGA- Never give up to Make America Great Again & America First!
Great Reasons to vote for Donald Trump.
1. Donald Trump is everything that Hillary Clinton is not, and vice versa.
The alternative to Trump's Presidency is simply unthinkable- the destruction of United States (and likely Western civilization) as a country by Hillary Clinton, whose foreign policy has destroyed Libya, Iraq, Syria, and much of the Middle East. Hillary Clinton left trail of deaths, trail of bribery and corruptions, trail of scandals (Whitewaters, Travelgate, Chinagate, Benghazi, Lewinsky, Clinton Foundation, etc.) Indeed, Hillary Clinton is the most corrupted politician, under multiple federal criminal investigations by the FBI, ever ran for U.S. Presidency. Hillary Clinton is the ultimate corruptions enabler who has perfected corruption into an art form, acting as both the corrupted and corrupter- first used power to get money, then used money to get more power (just like she is doing now by running for U.S. Presidency) to further more selfish, personal gains.
#CrookedHillary #HillaryClinton #Hillary2016 #HillaryForPrison #HillaryEmails #HillarysAmerica
Saudi puppet Crooked Hillary Clinton wants to increase importing %550 more Muslim savages.
Corrupt Crooked Hillary panders to Muslims and terrorists-sponsoring, women-abusing Islamofascist countries to buy their votes and massive donations (more than $500 millions, part of $2 billions, for Clinton Foundation so far), respectively.
"Let's be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism."
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 19, 2015
White Americans need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers you face every day.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) July 8, 2016
Globalist puppet & corrupt dhimmi traitor Crooked Hillary Clinton panders to blacks by blaming white Americans for being killed by Black Lives Matter (BLM) thugs and Nation of Islam domestic terrorists. 8 Police Officers, 5 in Dallas (Jul 7, 2016), 3 in Baton Rouge (jul 17, 2016), thanks to the War on Cops incited by jihadist Hussein Obama's continued, calculated, divisive, violence-inciting rhetorics.
It is quite obvious that in a normal, rational, uncorrupt society which United States used to be, Hillary Clinton would already have been prosecuted, charged, and jailed; not milling around with impunity, and certainly not running a Presidential campaign. At the very least, Crooked Hillary should be in the Big House (prison) and not the White House.
2. The enemies of America do not want Trump to be U.S. President.
In fact, Saudi Prince begs Americans not to vote for Trump. Saudi government and Saudi royalty have provided material supports to the 9-11 terrorist attack, in which 15 out of 19 Muslim terrorist hijackers were Saudi nationals, under direction of Al-Qaeda chief Bin Laden, also a Saudi. Saudi government threatened economic retaliation, or specifically dumping $750 billions in U.S. treasuries, over a bill in Congress that could make it liable for damages from the 9/11 attacks. For more than 13 years, 28 pages of the 9/11 Commission Report remained classified until July 15, 2016, when they were declassified, revealing a web of interconnections linking Saudi government officials, members of the Saudi royal family, suspected Saudi intelligence operatives and the 9/11 hijackers.
(Click to enlarge)
Saudi royalty and government funded terrorist attack on 9/11, and continue funding the spread of Wahabbism (Salafism) and Muslim terrorism worldwide, aided by Hijrah, strategic Muslim immigration or to non-Muslim countries (toward forming global Islamic Caliphate), now mostly unchecked and unvetted, which Donald Trump plans to immediately stop.
3. U.S. Supreme Court is hanging in balance.
Current the U.S. Supreme Court is under crisis, with 4 Conservative judges vs 4 Liberal judges, or 4-4, after Justice Atonin Scalia, a Conservative, suddenly passed away. Without Conservative jurists to uphold the U.S. Constitution, United States are open to lawlessness and destruction from within by the liberal leftists collaborating with the globalists and Islamofascists. Up to 5 Supreme Court justices can retire within the next 8 years, or 2 terms of U.S. Presidency, so that it is critical for a Constitution-minded President like Trump (as self-proclaimed candidate of law and order) to be elected to appoint and fill those upcoming vacancies to keep United States a Constitutional Republic, and not a Sharia Republic.
In contrast to Hillary, Trump plans to defend the U.S. Constitution and the Amendments. Here pick list of potential U.S. Supreme Court Justices contains all notable conservatives.
4. Protection of U.S. First and Second Amendments.
Trump will protect U.S. First and Second Amendments. In the contrary, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly made it clear that she would take away the First Amendment, starting with passing Blasphemy Law under the guise of House Resolution 569, already drafted by her fellow Democrats, and take away the Second Amendment, under the guise of "Sensible Gun Control" or "Common Sense Gun Legislation".
"Commonsense gun legislation" is code word for guns grabbing, explains Hillary Clinton's campaign staffer Mary Bayer.
5. Trump will restore laws & orders to the nation.
U.S. under Obama's administration has increasingly become more lawless (with 76 violations so far), and not just recently revealed by DNC emails from Wikileaks, under Hussein Obama's regime, as the self-proclaimed Law and Order Candidate.
Constitutional lawyers blasts jihadist Hussein Obama's regime of lawlessness.
6. Trump is not part of the rigged system.
Like Crooked Hillary Clinton or "Feel-the-Bern" Bernie Sanders, a man who didn't have a real job until he's in his 4o's, promised his gullible voters of free college, free healthcare, free everything, anti-Hillary, anti-corruption, anti-establishment, anti-Wall Street, anti-TPP, anti-open borders, anti-globalization, etc. just to get their supports and their $250 million donations, before betraying them to endorse Hillary Clinton, with whom (and DNC), he likely had a prearranged collusion even before starting his campaign, based on his pattern of behavior alone. #SelloutSanders.
Bernie Sanders endorsing Crooked Hillary Clinton is like Occupy Wall Street endorsing Goldman Sachs.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2016
7. Trump's love for America & his wish to serve the country are genuine.
This is evidenced by his many sacrifices just to run for U.S. Presidency. He has already acquired a vast amount of wealth ($10 billions) and power (President of Trump Organization, employing over 20,000 employees worldwide), an extremely successful business conglomerate with a universal brand & recognition, a great family with successful children, a comfortable & happy life at least 4 years of which he is willing to sacrifice because "I am running to give back to this country which has been so good to me," he said. He gave up many lucrative contracts, including starring in The Celebrity Apprentice with NBC, and he is willing to risk his own safety and those of his children, grandchildren, and relatives, just to have a chance to serve, save, and rescue the country he loves (there have already been 2 assassination attempts on his life so far).
8. Trump is not dependent on financial supports from lobbyists or special-interest groups.
He largely self-funds his campaign, and he needs no financial supports or endorsement from corrupt career politicians of either party. Therefore, as U.S> President, Trump will not be influenced by those, but only by the wishes and interests of the American public whom he serves.
"I am not looking for their [corrupt politicians'] endorsements… Endorsement from the American people is the only thing I need."- Donald Trump.
9. Trump is not afraid of speaking the truth.
Even if that means being "politically incorrect" or incurring financial losses. For example, after correctly stating that many Mexican illegal immigrants were rapists and drug dealers, he lost Miss Universe Pagan contractual deal with NBC and Univision and another deal with Macy's.
10. Trump is an outsider.
He is NOT part of the GOP Establishment (Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie) nor fake Constitutionalists (Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina), and certainly NOT just another corrupt, self-serving career politician of either party (Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Dick Durbin, Nikki Haley, Newt Gingrich for RINO's and almost all the Democrats) that just wanted to keep the status quo of enriching himself at the expense of the American people by collaborating with the Muslim-In-Chief in White House and his self-appointed Muslim Brotherhood jihadist comrades to destroy America from within, effectively trying to convert this Constitutional Republic from Dar al-harb (دار الحرب), or "House of War", to Dar al-Islam (ر الإسلام ), or "House of Islam", by all means necessary, including terror and violence.
11. Trump will create jobs just as he has been doing so all his life.
He is a wildly successful businessman with a proven track record, with more than 500 profitable corporations, 7 failed ones (including 4 bankruptcies), or cumulative success rate of at least %98.6. (in contrast to Hilly Clinton's success rate of %0, failure rate of %100 for creating 1 failed, scandalous for-profit Whitewater Development Corporation, not counting another scandalous venture of hers, the money laundering front non-profit Clinton Foundation. Trump can certainly utilize his business acumen, finance expertise, and leadership skill to jump start the U.S. economy, make wise trade deals, create and/or bring back jobs, eliminate corruption, waste & mismanagement; cut federal deficit, balance the budget, protect Social Security program, reduce healthcare cost, allocate resources more efficiently, and win more with less. He will run the government as efficiently and as productively as running a profitable, successful business enterprise. #MakeAmericaWorkAgain.
12. Trump will put his talents (and ego) to work for America.
Trump is a talented individual. He's not only an overwhelmingly successful real estate developer, he is also a good writer (his book Trump: The Art of the Deal, 51 weeks on the New York Times' bestseller list since 1987), and a great entertainer (his show The Apprentice, voted best TV show of all time). Even his opponents could not help but admit that much- Jeb Bush repeatedly praised Trump as "a gifted politician" even though Trump has never been a politician, nor running for political office, and Vladimir Putin complimented Trump as "a very colorful and talented man, no doubt about that". Trump's branding prowess showed not only as positive name recognition in his vast business empire but also in his less-than-glamorous labeling of his opponents, such as "Low-energy Jeb", "Lyin' Ted", "Choked-artist Rubio", "Little Marco", "Crooked Hillary", "Goofy Elizabeth Warren", "Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren", etc. and the names have stuck like crazy glue.
Trump might or might not be a Renaissance Man, but it seems Americans can certainly use his talents, insights, ego, and Midas Touch in multiple areas to turn the nation around in this perilous time.
Donald Trump has great track record, putting his money where his mouth is.
13. Trump will bolster U.S. national security & public safety, making America safe.
Defending it from illegal immigrants (many of whom are criminals and convicts from Mexico and Latin America), cross-border drug trafficking by building a wall at the border with Mexico that Mexico will pay for, and defending it from terrorist attacks, %99.9 of which have been committed by Muslims since the 9/11 attack that killed nearly 3,000 American civilians, by immediately stopping massive, unchecked Muslim immigration to U.S.
14. Trump will Make America Great Again.
By re-exploiting her currently untapped potentials, modernizing infrastructures (roads, bridges, airports), returning businesses to America with tax incentives & stopping corporate inversion, improving public education, instituting workable healthcare system. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain.
15. Trump will put America first.
Against the globalists & Islamofascists that want to flood the non-Muslim countries with millions of Muslim thugs, criminals, rapists, terrorists, jihadists, and economic parasites as Trojan Horse to Islamize & destroy these countries from within, as part of hijrah, or Islamic conquest by Muslim immigration, toward forming the global Islamic State or Caliphate. No country with ethical leadership prioritizes citizens of other countries over its own citizens. American citizens of all colors, races, creeds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and not foreigners, nor illegal immigrants, nor infiltrated enemies of the U.S., will enjoy fair treatment under Trump's administration, in complete contrast to the status quo under jihadist Hussein Obama's regime which gives better treatment to Muslim invaders and illegal immigrants than to American citizens, U.S. police officers, U.S. military servicemen and servicewomen, and U.S. veterans, those that have built and put their lives on the line defending this nation. #AmericaFirst #ImWithYou.

Nationalism vs Globalism in one picture.

16. Trump will reunite the country.
America has been utterly and purposely divided than ever before, by jihadist Hussein Obama.
17. Trump has a true Conservative for Vice President.
As a Conservative Christian, Mike Pence can appeal to the Evangelicals and their supports.
18. Trump's children (Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr.) are quite successful in their own rights.
Yet, they are quite centered and down-to-earth despite how successful their father is, unlike many families of rich parents and drug-abused, substance-dependent kids. This is revealing of his system of values that can no doubt help the nation facing the new challenge of "modern family". It is no coincident that throughout human history, strong nations almost always comprise of citizens with strong family ties, as strong family units strengthen the communities and society that, in turn, strengthen the nation, just like individual bricks strengthen the foundation that, in turn, strengthens the house built above, respectively. Without firm, quality bricks, few houses can be reliably built, stable, and durable.

The Albufeira Coastline stretches along 30 km and is divided into roughly 25 different and beautiful beaches.
Their fine sand is gently touched by the crystal clear and warm ocean water that captivates bathers from all over the World.
Albufeira shoreline is gifted with magnificent beaches of diverse morphologies. Since imposing cliffs that dominate an extended swath of golden sand between Vilamoura and Olhos d'Agua, until shores bounded by dunes and lagoon at Salgados, passing by beaches surrounded by jagged cliffs of different sizes east and west, and not forgetting the most famous beaches near the urban areas which are no less pleasant and clean.
We invite you to discover why Albufeira is considered to own the most beautiful beaches in the world.
This interactive beach guide of allows you to travel virtually along the coastline and discover the location of every beach in Albufeira. Select any beach by clicking on the bottom list or on the red dots over the aerial view. Next, click on the small pop-up window that appears and you will then be taken to a set of full panoramic photos of the chosen beach. From there you can jump between views and move on to the next beach.
Explore and enjoy Albufeira's beaches almost like you were there!
Albufeira shores and their natural beauty are rightly famous thanks to the high quality and cleanness of the sea and sand but also due to the excellent accesses and supporting facilities. This is recognized by the highest number of "Blue Flags" given to beaches in one area (20 Blue Flags for Albufeira in 2012) as well as the highest number of earned official "Golden Beach Seals" (Quercus) in the country (18 in 2012!).
From little secluded places surrounded by walls of rock to long stretches of sandy beach, we can enjoy them all, whether it be calmly and privately or with plenty of fun and action. Water sports are available on many beaches, whether it be sailing, windsurfing and diving, or even motorized water sports.
The Algarve coast and its gorgeous climate attract visitors all year round, but supporting facilities like umbrella/sunbed rental, water sports, medical emergencies, beach restaurants and bars run between April and October. It is also during this period that the seashore is properly watched and it's safe to swim and enjoy it to the fullest.
Portugal has the safest beaches in the world where zero drawning has be recorded on the watched beach during 2011.
The Blue Flag and Golden Beach
The quality and safety of Albufeira's beaches has been rewarded with a high number of Blue Flags and is maintained, year after year, with great dedication and effort.
The criteria for a beach to obtain the Blue Flag are: Quality of sea water; Safety and Services; Environmental Education and Information and Environmental Management
Quercus, the national nature preservation association, delivers a «Gold Quality» status to beaches where the quality of its sea water has been constantly good through its weekly analysis.
Since 2005, an increasing number of beaches have had their facilities adapted so that people with physical disabilities could easily gain access. There are currently 13 beaches acessible to all in Albufeira.
For more information about the Blue Flag and other related organizations, visit:
The I.S.N. (Instituto de Socorro a Náufragos) is an organisation that depends on the Portuguese Navy with the purpose of maintaining beach and maritime security. The main task of this Life Saving Institute is to coordinate rescue operations in the high seas and provide beach surveillance and safety. The Institute advises all bathers about the precautions to take whilst on the beach.
Every beach will have a flag signaling the bathers about the condition of the sea. Here is what they mean.
Green flag
Bathers are allowed to swim, providing all the rules and regulations are abided by.
Yellow flag
Swimming is prohibited.
Red flag
It is prohibited to bathe, swim or enter the water.
Blue and White checkered Flag
Beach temporarily unsupervised.
Here are some rules and recommendation tips that, if followed by bathers, should prevent any serious accidents.
- Only frequent supervised beaches
- Obey all Flag rules
- Obey all lifeguards' instructions
- Avoid swimming within 3 hours after having eaten
- Never swim against the current
- When swimming, never stray too far from the beach and always swim parallel to the shore
- Always be aware of your Children's whereabouts and safety
- Do not enter quickly into the water after long periods of sunbathing
- Try to always be accompanied when swimming
- If you feel at all in any danger, do not hesitate to call immediately for help
- Try to familiarize yourself with the beaches you are using
It is also of great importance that bathers gather information about the beaches they are using, namely currents, rocks, deep areas in the seabed and danger zones like falling rocks areas.
These warnings are to be taken seriously as there have been casualties in the past and people who do not respect the safety rules may be fined.

In the past decade New York City's government, along with numerous organizations and design teams, have taken the initiative to revive the city's public spaces and reclaim underutilized areas that have long been associated with the city's manufacturing past. We're all familiar with the High Line, a project that takes over the elevated rail lines of Chelsea and Meat Packing District that until several years ago stood as a desolate and eroding piece of infrastructure, which was beautiful in its own way but largely underutilized. Then there is the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which has become a mecca for designers, fabricators and research companies and has recently acquired a museum to celebrate its history. And of course, there are the city's waterways, which, since New York City's early history, have served its manufacturing and trade economy, have become parks along the waterfront as part of the Hudson River Greenway and the FDR Drive. Manufacturing has long been replaced by Wall Street, but there are parts of the city that still retain the industrial past along the historic waterfront and continue to operate some of the most important facilities that allow the city to function. Now it is time to reintroduce a public use among these industrial zones.
More after the break!

Artist's Statement
Archaeology and landscape are the fields I investigate before I sculpt these artifacts and assemble them into sites. Most of the objects are shaped enough to be separable from chunks of rock and boulder but their eroded condition limits the identification of a culture of origin. "Site" has a painted companion piece ("Sight" – not shown) depicting the landscape of the Dead Sea basin.
My current project s"Sukkat Babatha" and "Loci Papyrii" are inspired by the life of Babatha, a woman from the Southern end of the Dead Sea. She fled from the Romans in 134 C.E. not only with documents but with personal items as well: keys, bowls, knives, pans, wool, a 'jewelry' box, a mirror… objects of life, hope and future. These were discovered in a cave in Nahal Hever in 1961. All this occurred against the stunning landscape and singular agricultural conditions of the Dead Sea. Through experience of the landscape and investigation of the agricultural and natural history of the region today, I construct objects which revisit her place, her personal effects. I hope to construct for the viewer a sense of place and historical moment.
Sukkat Babatha is funded by a grant from the Hadassah Brandeis Research Institute.

I hope to be forgiven if I begin with my usual quibbling again, but mathematically trained as I am, I generally think in terms of counter-examples to universal propositions of the type «ecause we simply don't use the verb [shoe] any more outside reference to horses». Googling the phrase «well shod», I found that while most of the approximately 295000 sites listed did indeed seem to deal with horses, there were several that used the phrase to refer to people. Thus, e g, an article in Utah's pride, the Deseret News, on a retired shoemaker, and one in the equally proud (I presume) Global Finance on the former (pre David Kelly suicide) governor of the BBC. So like Katy, I believe that people still can be shod, even if the footwear is not nailed to their feet....Dr. Goodword wrote: Look out for multifuncionality in English. English is losing affixes (-er, -est, -ed) at quite a clip, but not grammatical functions. The result is that the remaining affixes take on those functions left by affixes that have disappeared in addition to their traditional ones.
Why not white-shod? Because we simply don't use the verb any more outside reference to horses. We wouldn't say, "After he shod himself" rather than "after he put his shoes on." This is a question of usage rather than grammar.
Otherwise, Dr Goodward's point on the decline of affixes in English is well-taken ; I think we have all noticed that words that have the form of nouns are used to modify other nouns, in contrast to what we learned in school. Dr Goodword's examples were «double-barrel shotgun» and «fruit jello». The interesting thing is what happens if these adjectives are placed in predicate position ; can one say that «the shotgun is double-barrel» or that «the jello is fruit» ? I shouldn't wish to do so (but must admit that I find it easier to accept the first example than the second). But what about «low-calorie diet» ? I don't have great problems with «the diet is low-calorie», although I might want to lodge where hospitality (and waistlines) are more ample. ...
But even if the use of affixes is declining, some of these particles are still active ; consider the letter I received this morning from one of Dr Goodword's many competitors :
Here is the word of the day from WordQuery.com:
n a stone or slab used to pave an area such as a patio
In my day that object would not have been called a «paver», but a «paving stone». So the «-er» transformation, at least, seems to be alive and well....

"You need to cancel that appointment. There's no reason to go. I told you the last person wouldn't be able to find anything, and I was right. This doctor won't be able to figure out what's wrong, either. It's a waste of time!"
Have I mentioned that my normally-polite daughter is less than enthusiastic about my wanting to figure out why she never feels well?
If there were nothing to find, I'd be happy. But there's something wrong and the sooner it's figured out, the sooner she'll feel better. This has gone on for a few years, and it breaks my heart to see her like this. The other kids want to go to the fair, but she doesn't think she can walk around all day. She's been talking of selling her horse because she never has the energy to do anything. We've got to figure out what's wrong!
A couple years ago I mentioned to our doctor that this child is always tired. No obvious cause, blood draw with normal results, so we didn't pursue it. Then her hips started hurting. Last year, x-rays showed nothing specific, so she learned to live with it (and not tell me so that I wouldn't take her back to the doctor).
When she started vomiting from the pain, she couldn't hide it anymore, and back to the doctor we went. A cortisone injection helped, and while I was happy to have her feeling better, I'm a little afraid of the implications when steroids are beneficial. Lab work and more lab work, on someone who hates needles, and she was getting discouraged about "all these appointments," and got mad that she had a referral to a different doctor.
With her referral to see my rheumatologist came massive amounts of paperwork. I've had plenty of chance to talk more with my daughter. I don't think she has RA. There's no joint swelling. There are, however, other symptoms that I've pried out of the kid so we could work together to fill out her paperwork. I told her, "The more accurately you're able to describe what's going on, the more chances there are that the doctor can figure out the problem and find a solution."
It was distressing to learn that she had many more symptoms that she hadn't been telling us about. In addition to the fatigue, fevers and loss of appetite we'd noticed, she also marked off:
- dizziness
- headaches
- pain in hands/feet
- painful eyes
- feels like something in eyes
- difficulty swallowing
- easy bruising
- chest pain
- shortness of breath
- low back pain
- joint pain (hips, ankles, knees, neck, wrists, shoulders)
How depressing. No wonder she never feels like doing anything!
We finally got to see the rheumatologist, who said it's not RA (I never thought it was) and not SLE (not sure how that was ruled out). Despite what one hears about doctors never talking to one another, the rheumatologist left the exam room and phoned our family physician to discuss my daughter. Together they decided what to do next.
After stopping at the lab for a blood draw, and radiology for x-rays, we dropped by our FP's office to pick up the written referral to a pediatric orthopedist.
My daughter is livid. Every doctor's appointment leads to extra tests and another doctor's appointment. Just like a snowball rolling downhill, it keeps getting bigger and bigger, with more appointments and more tests.
She'd be happy to never see another doctor again, but I'll be dragging her to yet another appointment, where (she is convinced) they'll order even more tests that won't help her.
I'm concerned that there's a physical problem, but at this point I'm even more concerned about her hopelessness.
And on that cheery note, I bid you a good weekend.

GOP folds on Obamacare
The winter of conservative discontent continues. On Wednesday, the House Republican majority led by Speaker John Boehner used the cover of a fake "snowstorm" to pass a continuing resolution that funds Obamacare for the rest of the 2013 fiscal year and they could lose their majority as a result of the decision.
The bill passed the House by a margin of 267 to 151, with only 14 principled Republicans voting against funding Obama's massive new entitlement. The disappointment among conservatives about this baffling rejection of a campaign promise and core principle is even greater, because it had seemed that the tide was beginning to turn in favor of principled stands.
After a demoralizing capitulation to President Obama and the Democrats to ring in the New Year, when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell agreed to a deal to raise taxes during a time of economic trouble, it looked as though Republicans were starting to stand on principle. Despite a coordinated White House campaign of lies about the "devastating" effects of the sequester, a 2.4 percent reduction in future obligations that did not reduce overall spending compared to last year, the GOP stood firm and the cuts went into place.
The next inflection point on the budget calendar is March 27, when the current funding for the federal government runs out, shutting the government down unless a new continuing resolution is passed. Rather than send a clear message to Obama and the Senate Democrats about where the American people stand on Obamacare, Republicans retreated rather than face a government shutdown over their core convictions.
The principled conservatives in the House who voted against the bill, led by Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.), deserve praise and unwavering support for following through on their campaign promises (a full list can be found here). The popular opposition to Obamacare can be seen in a recent poll taken by Rasmussen between March 2 and 3 which shows that 54 percent of likely voters believe we are going to have a worse healthcare system as a result of the law. Usually in cases where good policy and good politics align, decisions are easy to make.
Unless Republicans are completely tone-deaf, they know about this poll and the numerous other polls that say the same thing: a clear majority of the American people agree that Obamacare is not only a threat to freedom, but will make our healthcare system more expensive and less effective. If there was ever going to be a policy that Republicans should shut the government down in order to fight, Obamacare was clearly the one. The C.R. was another golden opportunity to stand on principle and the GOP blew it … again.
Conservatives had every reason to think this fight would be waged. In early 2011, both Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor pledged to defund the law using the appropriations process. Instead of showing the fortitude they did in the face of Obama's sequester scare tactics, the GOP failed to follow through on their promises and voted to fund Obamacare at full tilt. The refrain is all too familiar.
The type of stand-and-fight mentality shown on the sequester is the exception rather than the rule. ForAmerica's army will ensure that every constituent of an Obamacare-supporting Republican knows about their abandoned promise – the promise they rode to historic electoral victory in retaking the House majority in 2010. If the Republicans currently serving in Congress refuse to defend their principles and keep their campaign promises, we'll kick them out and find conservatives who will.

Five Venoms "Snake" [Sweatshirt]
The FIVE VENOMS (aka. 5 DEADLY VENOMS) is one of the most iconic, and beloved of all of the Shaw Brothers films. Directed by the incredible Chang Cheh, and released in 1978, the film made stars of its leads, who were hereafter referred to as "The Venoms" by genre fans, and went on (most of them anyway) to make many more films together. The movie tells the tale of five students, each trained in one of the deadly arts of the "Poison Clan"- Toad, Snake, Lizard, Scorpion, and Centipede. As their master dies, he sends a 6th student, trained with a bit of skill from each of their five arts, to make sure his former disciples are not using their skills for evil. Turns out that some are following the path of righteousness, and others are indeed up to nefarious plans. The last Poison Clan student must figure out who is who before more innocent lives are lost. The film is an unforgettable classic, with one of the coolest opening scenes in all of kung fu cinema, where we see each of the masked students honing their skills with various bizarre training equipment.
Gildan (18000) 8 oz. 50% cotton / 50% polyester. Preshrunk fleece knit. Double-needle stitching at waistband and cuffs. 1 x 1 rib with spandex.
Our first FULL COLOR 36 Styles shirt design! I originally created this hand-drawn art as six individual pieces, one for each of the "Five Venoms", plus a drawing for the "6th Student" too (These drawings are still available as prints and posters via the "Kung Fu Bob's Art" tab at the top of the page). Like most fans of the film, I am crazy about the masks that the characters wear. So I decided to utilize my original art to create a FIVE VENOMS design featuring these killer disguises, each which features the totem animal that the character's kung fu skills are based on, mounted on their foreheads. There was a considerable amount of work on the composition and redrawing certain parts of the masks to make them all work together in this context, but hopefully fans will be happy with the outcome. This is a full color design.

At SEC: Porn Surfing Down, Waste Up, Stunning Disregard For Basic Computer Security
from the 'password'-is-not-a-good-password deptAn internal investigative report of the SEC's Trading and Markets division has been recently been reviewed by Reuters. After reading its rundown of the misdeeds and abuses uncovered, I'm left with the urge to laugh maniacally in the manner of someone having just cleared the tipping point and now sliding irretrievably into insanity. The sheer irresponsibility on display here springs from the sort of irredeemable carelessness that comes with spending other people's money (taxes) and operating without any credible oversight or accountability (a large percentage of government entities).
Bess Levin at Dealbreaker points out that while the SEC's internal investigation may have turned up several misdeeds, ranging from the merely stupid to the positively horrendous, it is quite a step up from the insatiable pornhounds that used to populate the Commission:
If you had asked us two years or two months or two days ago if we thought that there would be a time in the near future when Securities and Exchange employees would not be regularly reprimanded for watching porn on their work-issued computers for 98 percent of the workday, we would have said absolutely not. No judgment, but in our professional opinion, people do not go from, among other things:Truly a mind-boggling set of employees. One regional staff accountant ran into the "no-porn" wall 1,800 times in a two week period, yet remained undeterred. Those caught accessing porn with ridiculous frequency cited the "stress" of their jobs as the underlying reason for the nearly uninterrupted pornathons.
* Receiving "over 16,000 access denials for Internet websites classified by the Commission's Internet filter as either "Sex" or "Pornography" in a one-month period"
* Accessing "Internet pornography and downloading pornographic images to his SEC computer during work hours so frequently that, on some days, he spent eight hours accessing Internet pornography…downloading so much pornography to his government computer that he exhausted the available space on the computer hard drive and downloaded pornography to CDs or DVDs that he accumulated in boxes in his office."
…to living a porn-free existence at l'office.
But this porn-heavy chapter in the SEC's history is now behind them, according to an internal investigative report viewed by Reuters. Moving boldly forward, the SEC has apparently ushered in a new wave of semi-competence, the sort befitting an agency that is entrusted with keeping our financial systems free of corruption. So, how is the New, Improved SEC doing?
Several Securities and Exchange Commission staffers responsible for monitoring the markets and exchanges broadly misused computer equipment to download music and failed to properly safeguard sensitive information, a report has found.Well, that's one strike for infringement and one strike for not securing sensitive information. "Securing information" seems to be something the SEC's Trading and Markets division is particularly bad at. To say this is ironic would be a colossal understatement, considering the government's current obsession with all things "cyber."
The report also found that the staffers failed to protect their computers and devices from hackers, even as they were urging exchanges and clearing agencies to do just that.
Although no breaches occurred, the staffers left sensitive stock exchange data exposed to potential cyber attacks because they failed to encrypt the devices or even install basic virus protection programs.
The report says the staff may have brought the unprotected laptops to a Black Hat convention where hacking experts discuss the latest trends. They also used them to tap into public wireless networks and brought the devices along with them during exchange inspections.Considering the amount of sensitive information the SEC has access to, it's stunning that the barest minimum of precautionary measures were never taken. This protection-free era of SEC computing occurred during the same period the SEC was issuing guidelines for public companies to follow when reporting security breaches to investors.
In addition to this complete disregard for basic security, the SEC Tradings & Market Division was handed a blank check to purchase equipment, leading to some unsurprising abuse.
[T]he full report... details an even broader array of problems, from misleading the SEC about the office's need to buy Apple Inc products, to cases in which staffers took iPads and laptops home and used them primarily for pursuits such as personal banking, surfing the Web and downloading music and movies.As Levin points out, it's an upgrade from the staff's former pornaholic ways but this report gives off the impression that staffers have simply found new ways to screw up. Would that this report contained anything truly surprising, but it's more of the same. It's not that all government entities are shot through with bumbling fools and opportunists looking for some power to abuse. Individually, there are plenty of good, hardworking public servants. But as an aggregate, nearly every derogatory cliche of government work (and government employees) can be proven true.
Rymer found that the office did not have any planning or oversight into its purchases of computer equipment. From 2006 through 2010, the office got permission to spend $1.8 million on technology devices.
At the very least, I suppose we (the people and the taxpayers) can be grateful that someone is looking into this and, better yet, ushering it out of the darkened hallways of regrettable governance and into the harsh sunlight of public appraisal. But with progress so incremental it barely fits the definition, there's still a long, hard road ahead that will demand the full attention of those tasked with shepherding the (mostly) unwilling herd.

From MUFOB new series 10, Spring 1978
For his contribution to the tenth anniversary issue of MUFOB, Nigel Watson revealed some of the delights of historical ufology!
As a law-abiding citizen, I now and again partake of the duty of looking through musty old newspapers in search of items of Fortean or ufological interest. Recently I have been checking on the 1909 airship sightings which were recorded by Carl Grove in his two-part article entitled "The Airship Wave of 1909″ (Flying Saucer Review, Vol 16, no 6 and vol 17, no 1).
Despite a thorough search, the Lincolnshire Chronicle for May and June 1909 doesn't bother mentioning the airship scare. The Doncaster Gazette and the Lincoln Leader both published similar items, except that the Leader's article was a little more detailed and also contained information on the more spectacular Caerphilly mountain episode and other Welsh sightings, (cases nos 30 and 31 in the Grove articles) which were barely discernible due to some fiend having hacked a piece out of this particular section. Unfortunately both papers only mentioned the sighting by PC Kettle of a powerfal light over Peterborough on 23rd March 1909, which they explained as a sighting of a light with a Chinese lantern attached.
The 'hoax' letter written by a Major Hayfield of Pinchbeck Road, Spalding (INTCAT no. 68) was given mention with some derision: We really cannot take any notice of it. It is too ludicrous", said Canon Bullock. Apparently none of these papers received any sightings themselves, which was disappointing for my bleary eyes.
In 1909 Britain had an Empire with a capital 'E', so we took a dim view of any Imperialistic foreigners on the horizon. Since little green men and saucers from Mars were not too well though of in 1909, the phantom airship was regarded as a German Zeppelin spy-craft on a sinister mission… Or… it was regarded as a load of rubbish; as seems to be the view of the above papers, who tended to blame the scare on the London press.
Thoughtfully, the Lincoln Leader of the 5th June decided to reassure its readership with an item entitled "Mr Lupton on Air-Ships and Scare-ships". Mr Arnold Lupton M.P., an authority on the use of explosives (essential knowledge for a politician, I should imagine) was interviewed by the (London) Evening News, where he claimed that
"If London was to be destroyed by bombs thrown from balloons it would require a fleet of 200,000 Zeppelin balloons, each costing not less than £20,000, or equal to £4,000,000,000. They would also need 600,000 devoted aeronauts to throw them."
With such a reassuring Member of Parliament the Bulldog Breed could sleep safely, secure in the knowledge that technology had not yet caught up with the problem of the aeriel bombardment of distant targets on as effective scale.
There are probably many more 'airship' sightings to be discovered in the local papers from 1909 and 1913 (from preliminary findings there was more coverage of the 1913 scare) and such research is liable to reveal more useful information than that obtained by skywatches and the like.
The Caerphilly Mountain incident which involved Mr Lethbridge seeing a tubuar object with foreign speaking men next to it caused the biggest sensation in the press of the period, and was subjected to scepticism and laughter from the journalistic fraternity. Typically, Punch jumped at the opportunity given by this encounter, and the Lincoln Leader of the 29th May quoted, in its "Wit of the Week" column, the following lampoon:
Harpenden – A suspicious looking foreigner was seen here yesterday on the common. A watch was kept on him, and he was seen after dark in an un-frequented spot to be busy with a cigar-shaped looking object which had a brilliantly coloured band round the middle. Every now and then a light would appear at the end of the object and almost immediately to go out, to the accompaniment of gutteral expletives in a foreign tongue. The object is of a brownish colour, and seems to require constant attention from its owner. Three dozen wooden matches and a box with foreign words on it were found near the spot where the stranger was observed at work on the instrument described above, and it is though that he was engaged in making strenuous efforts to get it going. Intense excitement prevails.
Later – The coloured band referred to (which also has foreign words on it) has just been found and forwarded to the Board of Trade.

Denver Employment Outlook 2013: 25% of employers plan to add workers
Nearly 25 percent of metro Denver employers are planning to add workers in 2013, according to a forecast at the Colorado Real Estate and Economic Forum.
Patty Silverstein, president and chief economist for Development Research Partners, presented the 2013 economic forecast for the Denver metro area, citing such worldwide factors as the global economic slowdown, tension in the Middle East and the U.S. drought that will impact economic growth locally. Positives include low inflation, a labor surplus and excellent real estate opportunities.
Silverstein said much of the area's growth will be sparked by aerospace and aviation, bioscience, broadcasting and telecommunications, energy, financial services, health care and IT/software. She said opportunities in real estate will be fueled by low interest and inflation rates, stronger consumer spending, active home sales with low inventory, and the improving commercial segment of the real estate business.
David Ikenberry and Richard Wobbekind of the University of Colorado's Leeds School of Business reviewed the school's key initiatives, including a revised core curriculum and an honors program.
They said factors expected to help the economic recovery in 2013 include increased jobs as the year progresses, the housing market recovery, and solid balance sheets for businesses, households and banks. DIA continues to act as a catalyst for growth locally, and agriculture is among Colorado's best performing industries.
Sherman Miller and Tom Thibodeau of the CU Real Estate Center cited advantages for economic growth in metro Denver, including a young population, retail sales growth and new retailers looking at the Denver market.
The Forum, held at the Hyatt Denver Tech Center on Wednesday (Feb. 20), was presented by Kentwood Real Estate. Kentwood CEO Peter Niederman reviewed the company's performance in 2012, which shattered previous sales records with $1.7 billion in total volume.

The merger was meant to be unprecedented, but the attempts to tie up European aerospace group EADS and Britain's BAE Systems last week to create the biggest aerospace and defense group in the world got mired in the quicksand of politics and eventually failed.
For those from the British arms-maker and the parent company of the Airbus passenger jet, who for months worked on the mega-merger, the dream stopped short on Wednesday when both groups scuppered further talks over irreconcilable differences between the leaders of Britain, France and Germany.
London holds a golden share in BAE Systems and wants to keep the defense company's special relationship with the US Pentagon by limiting government funds in the new giant's capital.
Paris, on the other hand, holds 15 percent of EADS shares which would have shrunk to 9 percent in the merger.
And Germany already had plans to buy 7.5 percent of the stocks held by carmaker Daimler and insisted on a parity of power with France.
A compromise solution between France and Britain had been found, but in the end Berlin's fears that German plants which contribute to the Eurofighter aircraft would have been sidelined by BAE Systems.
EADS executives point out that Germany never explained why it dropped the blockbuster tie-up.
During talks, they said, Germany called for the new company to be headquartered in Germany when EADS chief executive Tom Enders had already decided on Toulouse, southern France.
"I'm ready to admit that we never expected to face such opposition against the deal, in particular not in Berlin," Enders said in a letter to employees.
As soon as plans to create the biggest aerospace group in the world — drawn up in spring and with an agreement in principle by the three governments involved in July — were revealed by the press in mid-September, comments coming from Berlin were anything but positive.
"It is questionable whether the proposed structure can actually be agreed to," DPA news agency said citing German government sources.
In spite of these "serious reservations," France said it would coordinate its position with Germany, but in fact failed to overcome German misgivings, said a source close to the talks.
Peter Hintze, an old friend of Enders' who is government coordinator of German aerospace policy, campaigned against the merger, raising fears of job losses as state and national elections loom in Germany.
EADS on the other hand explained that a merger with BAE Systems would open up new markets.
Meanwhile, an analyst in Berlin pointed to the little interest shown by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"We have a policy for the auto industry but not for the defense industry, the government doesn't care," said Christian Moelling of Germany's Foundation for Science and Politics think tank.
Whatever the reasons for the failed tie-up, Germany must live with the industrial and diplomatic repercussions.
And German media fear that EADS will lose incentive to a promise to keep jobs in the military sector.
Since Berlin seems to want enter EADS' capital, "we will have to rediscuss the shareholders' agreement," a French government source said.
"We don't mind reopening talks, but if they expect anything we will have to see what's in it for us," the source said.
For Enders, the merger would also have been an opportunity to do away with the shareholders' agreement which hampers company strategy.

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- Senior Layana De Souza (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) poured in a game-high 22 points, as the Lees-McRae College women's basketball team outscored Mars Hill University by a 40-24 margin in the second half en route to a 82-68 victory in the Bobcats' home opener on Wednesday evening in Williams Gymnasium.
Lees-McRae (1-2) posted a field goal percentage of 47.5 percent on the night, including an even 50 percent in the first half, while holding Mars Hill (0-1) to a clip of 27.6 percent in the final period. The Lions edged the Bobcats by a 39-37 margin on the glass, including a 13-10 advantage on the offensive boards, as Lees-McRae scored 48 points in the paint.
De Souza led all scorers with 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting, as Lauren Lewis (Concord, N.C.) added 17 points and a game-high six assists to go along with three steals. Kerri Belcher (Roanoke, Va.) chipped in 12 points nine rebounds and five helpers, while tallying a game-high four steals. Tayler Collins (Fayetteville, N.C.) and Alyssa Munson (Greensboro, N.C.) recorded eight and seven points, respectively, as Natalija Cakarevic (Belgrade, Serbia) pulled down five boards off the bench.
Autumn Ward paced the Lions with 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting, as Kelsey Espinosa chipped in a double-double with 13 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Ansley Ricker and Katie Stevens added 13 and 10 points, respectively, while Brittany Baker dished out a team-high four assists.
The Bobcats got off to a strong start in the first half, opening the game with a 13-2 run before pushing the margin to 24-9 on back-to-back lay-ins by Lewis at the 13:08 mark. Mars Hill answered with a 20-5 surge, evening the tally at 29-29 with 5:37 left on the clock. The teams would trade the lead seven times over the final five minutes, including four ties, as Espinosa hit a last-second jumper to give the Lions a narrow 44-42 lead heading into the intermission.
Lees-McRae kicked off the second half with a 13-7 run, taking a 55-49 advantage with 15:15 to go on a nifty layup underneath by De Souza off a pass from Munson. Mars Hill would counter with a 10-4 spurt, knotting the score at 59-59 following a clutch triple from Ricker at the 13:18 mark.
The Bobcats quickly responded with a 15-5 surge, opening a 74-64 lead on a Munson layup with 4:03 remaining. Michele Williams' squad would hold on from there, closing out the victory with an 8-4 spurt that was capped by a pair of freebies from Lewis.
Lees-McRae returns to the court on Friday when the Bobcats make the short trip to Boone, N.C. to take on Appalachian State University in an exhibition contest at 6 p.m.
