The Failure of State Monopolism
Private Gain to a Few Trumps Public Good for the Many
A society – any society — is defined as a set of mutual benefits and duties embodied most visibly in public institutions: public schools, public libraries, public transportation, public hospitals, public parks, public museums, public recreation, public universities, and so on.
Public institutions are supported by all taxpayers, and are available to all. If the tax system is progressive, those who are better off (and who, presumably, have benefitted from many of these same public institutions) help pay for everyone else.
"Privatize" means "Pay for it yourself." The practical consequence of this in an economy whose wealth and income are now more concentrated than at any time in the past 90 years is to make high-quality public goods available to fewer and fewer.
In fact, much of what's called "public" is increasingly a private good paid for by users – ever-higher tolls on public highways and public bridges, higher tuitions at so-called public universities, higher admission fees at public parks and public museums.
Much of the rest of what's considered "public" has become so shoddy that those who can afford to do so find private alternatives. As public schools deteriorate, the upper-middle class and wealthy send their kids to private ones. As public pools and playgrounds decay, the better-off buy memberships in private tennis and swimming clubs. As public hospitals decline, the well-off pay premium rates for private care.
The great expansion of public institutions in America began in the early years of 20th century, when progressive reformers championed the idea that we all benefit from public goods. Excellent schools, roads, parks, playgrounds and transit systems would knit the new industrial society together, create better citizens and generate widespread prosperity.
Education, for example, was less a personal investment than a public good – improving the entire community and ultimately the nation.
In subsequent decades – through the Great Depression, World War II and the Cold War – this logic was expanded upon. Strong public institutions were seen as bulwarks against, in turn, mass poverty, fascism and then Soviet communism.
The public good was palpable: We were very much a society bound together by mutual needs and common threats. It was no coincidence that the greatest extensions of higher education after World War II were the GI Bill and the National Defense Education Act, or that the largest public works project in history was called the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act.
But in a post-Cold War America distended by global capital, distorted by concentrated income and wealth, undermined by unlimited campaign donations, and rocked by a wave of new immigrants easily cast by demagogues as "them," the notion of the public good has faded.
Not even Democrats still use the phrase "the public good." Public goods are now, at best, "public investments." Public institutions have morphed into "public-private partnerships" or, for Republicans, simply "vouchers."
America has, though, created a whopping entitlement for the biggest Wall Street banks and their top executives – who, unlike most of the rest of us, are no longer allowed to fail. They can also borrow from the Fed at almost no cost, then lend out the money at 3 percent to 6 percent.
All told, Wall Street's entitlement is the biggest offered by the federal government, even though it doesn't show up in the budget. And it's not even a public good. It's just private gain.
We're losing public goods available to all, supported by the tax payments of all and especially the better-off. In its place we have private goods available to the very rich, supported by the rest of us.

Who Used Chemical Weapons in Syria? Part 2
by TMC
Warning: the images shown in the video are graphic and may not be appropriate for some viewers or viewing at the work place.
There is little explanation for the cause of all the deaths in the rebel held suburbs of Damascus, other than the use of chemical weapons. The major question is who used it. The natural answer would be the Assad government. But one needs to remember that many military facilities are now in the hands of the rebels and no one is precisely certain who they are. While the western mind would like to reject this kind of mass murder in the name of a cause, it has happened. Extremist are not only willing to sacrifice their lives but others as well in the name of their cause.
Obama Officials Weigh Response to Syria Assaul
by Mark Landler, Mark Mazzetti and Alissa J. Rubin, The New York Times
The day after a deadly assault in Syria that bore many of the hallmarks of a chemical weapons attack, a sharply divided Obama administration on Thursday began weighing potential military responses to President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
Senior officials from the Pentagon, the State Department and the intelligence agencies met for three and a half hours at the White House on Thursday to deliberate over options, which officials say could range from a cruise missile strike to a more sustained air campaign against Syria.
The meeting broke up without any decision, according to senior officials, amid signs of a deepening division between those who advocate sending Mr. Assad a harsh message and those who argue that military action now would be reckless and ill timed.
In an interview with CNN broadcast on Friday, Mr. Obama said the United States is "gathering information" about the chemical weapon reports, but he suggested that it is already clear that the incident will demand "America's attention."
"America's attention," there are several interpretations of that statement but it sounds like some kind of military intervention and Assad is fast losing friends.
Syria: Russia joins international pressure on Assad over chemical attack
by Julian Borger and Dan Roberts, The Guardian
Intervention from regime's staunch ally comes as UK directly blames Damascus for attack and Obama hints that US cannot afford to stand by
Russia has added to the mounting pressure on the Syrian government over Wednesday's apparent gas attack by calling for UN inspectors to be granted immediate access to the site in eastern Damascus.
The Russian foreign ministry declared that Moscow and Washington had a "mutual interest" in pushing for an immediate investigation by UN investigators who are already in Damascus.
A ministry statement, issued after a conversation between the Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov and his US counterpart, John Kerry, said the "Russian side called on the Syrian government to co-operate with the UN chemical experts".
Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman was joined by Razan Zaitouneh, lawyer and human rights activist, who works with the Human Rights Violation Documentation Center and Patrick Cockburn, Middle East correspondent for The Independent in London to discuss the attack.
The Syrian government is facing growing pressure to allow an international probe of an alleged chemical weapons attack on the outskirts of Damascus. The Syrian opposition says government forces fired poisonous gas into rebel-held neighborhoods of Ghouta, killing hundreds of people. Video posted on YouTube this week shows frantic scenes of overwhelmed hospitals, dead children and countless bodies. If confirmed, it would stand to be the most violent incident in Syria since the rebel uprising began two years ago and one of the worst toxic attacks in decades. The alleged attack occurred just days after U.N. inspectors arrived in the country to investigate previous attacks.

Paul Krugman: This Age of Bubbles
So, another BRIC hits the wall. Actually, I've never much liked the whole "BRIC" – Brazil, Russia, India, and China – concept: Russia, which is basically a petro-economy, doesn't belong there at all, and there are large differences among the other three. Still, it's hard to deny that India, Brazil, and a number of other countries are now experiencing similar problems. And those shared problems define the economic crisis du jour.
What's going on? It's a variant on the same old story: investors loved these economies not wisely but too well, and have now turned on the objects of their former affection. A couple years back, Western investors – discouraged by low returns both in the United States and in the noncrisis nations of Europe – began pouring large sums into emerging markets. Now they've reversed course. As a result, India's rupee and Brazil's real are plunging, along with Indonesia's rupiah, the South African rand, the Turkish lira, and more.
Eugene Robinson: GOP in Fantasyland
The make-believe crusade by publicity hound Republicans to somehow stop Obamacare is one of the most cynical political exercises we've seen in many years. And that, my friends, is saying something.
Charlatans are peddling the fantasy that somehow they can prevent the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act from becoming what it already is: the law of the land. Congress passed it, President Obama signed it, the Supreme Court upheld it, and many of its provisions are already in force and others will soon take effect.
No matter how contemptuous they may be about Obamacare, opponents have only two viable options: Repeal it or get over it.
Robert Reich: Private Gain to a Few Trumps Public Good for the Many
Congress is in recess, but you'd hardly know it. This has been the most do-nothing, gridlocked Congress in decades. But the recess at least offers a pause in the ongoing partisan fighting that's sure to resume in a few weeks.
It also offers an opportunity to step back and ask ourselves what's really at stake.
Robert Creamer: Is There a Difference Between a Third World Autocrat and a Wall Street Mogul?
In America we tend to look down on Third World autocrats who siphon their country's wealth into their personal Swiss bank accounts at the expense of their citizens. But I would argue we have our own class of kleptocrats that in many ways behave the same way — and often with the same result.
I was recently at a seminar in Africa that focused heavily on human rights.
One of the most insightful participants made a powerful argument that autocratic leaders who violate their people's human rights by restricting their freedom of speech and assembly were even more culpable for human rights violations when they siphon off millions of dollars into Swiss bank accounts and deprived their country's children of decent health care, education and an opportunity to make a prosperous life. [..]
But what exactly is the difference between those autocrats and some of the wealthiest men on Wall Street – the "Masters of the Universe"?
Richard (RJ) Eskow: Honor Dr. King's Revolutionary Vision – by Fighting For It
Our nation is about to commemorate the 1963 March on Washington. Over the next few days there will be new marches and new speeches, along with lots of black-and-white photographs and film clips of that historic day. We'll remember the wisdom and courage of the civil rights movement's leaders and heroes.
Many words of praise will be addressed to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The pain of losing him still lingers – not only for the human tragedy of a life cut short, but because he had so much guidance to offer us about the struggles we face today.
Dr. King was a leader in the fight against segregation. But he also recognized that racial justice was woven inseparably into a seamless garment of justice that touches every aspect of modern life. From the gulf of time, from a half-century of struggle and change, his words speak directly to the challenges we face today. We periodically revisit them for inspiration and guidance, and we need them today more than ever.
E. J. Dionne, Jr.: The Dream Did Not Come Free
The things we forget about the March on Washington are the things we most need to remember 50 years on.
We forget that the majestically peaceful assemblage that moved a nation came in the wake of brutal resistance to civil rights and equality. And that there would be more to come. [..]
King called our country forward on that beautiful day in 1963, but he also called out our failings. He told us there could be no peace without justice, and no justice without struggle. We honor him best by sharing not only his hope but also his impatience and his resolve.

On This Day In History August 23
This is your morning Open Thread. Pour your favorite beverage and review the past and comment on the future.
Find the past "On This Day in History" here.
August 23 is the 235th day of the year (236th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 130 days remaining until the end of the year.
On this day in 1902, pioneering cookbook author Fannie Farmer, who changed the way Americans prepare food by advocating the use of standardized measurements in recipes, opens Miss Farmer's School of Cookery in Boston. In addition to teaching women about cooking, Farmer later educated medical professionals about the importance of proper nutrition for the sick.
Farmer was born March 23, 1857, and raised near Boston, Massachusetts. Her family believed in education for women and Farmer attended Medford High School; however, as a teenager she suffered a paralytic stroke that turned her into a homebound invalid for a period of years. As a result, she was unable to complete high school or attend college and her illness left her with a permanent limp. When she was in her early 30s, Farmer attended the Boston Cooking School. Founded in 1879, the school promoted a scientific approach to food preparation and trained women to become cooking teachers at a time when their employment opportunities were limited. Farmer graduated from the program in 1889 and in 1891 became the school's principal. In 1896, she published her first cookbook, The Boston Cooking School Cookbook, which included a wide range of straightforward recipes along with information on cooking and sanitation techniques, household management and nutrition. Farmer's book became a bestseller and revolutionized American cooking through its use of precise measurements, a novel culinary concept at the time.
Cookbook fame
Fannie published her most well-known work, The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book, in 1896. Her cookbook introduced the concept of using standardized measuring spoons and cups, as well as level measurement. A follow-up to an earlier version called Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book, published by Mary J. Lincoln in 1884, the book under Farmer's direction eventually contained 1,849 recipes, from milk toast to Zigaras à la Russe. Farmer also included essays on housekeeping, cleaning, canning and drying fruits and vegetables, and nutritional information.
The book's publisher (Little, Brown & Company) did not predict good sales and limited the first edition to 3,000 copies, published at the author's expense. The book was so popular in America, so thorough, and so comprehensive that cooks would refer to later editions simply as the "Fannie Farmer cookbook", and it is still available in print over 100 years later.
Farmer provided scientific explanations of the chemical processes that occur in food during cooking, and also helped to standardize the system of measurements used in cooking in the USA. Before the Cookbook's publication, other American recipes frequently called for amounts such as "a piece of butter the size of an egg" or "a teacup of milk." Farmer's systematic discussion of measurement – "A cupful is measured level … A tablespoonful is measured level. A teaspoonful is measured level." – led to her being named "the mother of level measurements."
I still have my copy.

The day after Bradley Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison for blowing the whistle on war crimes, his lawyer David Coombs, in an appearance on NBC's Today Show, read the following statement:
I want to thank everybody who has supported me over the last three years. Throughout this long ordeal, your letters of support and encouragement have helped keep me strong. I am forever indebted to those who wrote to me, made a donation to my defense fund, or came to watch a portion of the trial. I would especially like to thank Courage to Resist and the Bradley Manning Support Network for their tireless efforts in raising awareness for my case and providing for my legal representation.
As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition. I also request that, starting today, you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun (except in official mail to the confinement facility). I look forward to receiving letters from supporters and having the opportunity to write back.
Chelsea E. Manning
Respecting her wishes, the former Bradley Manning will be addressed as a woman and will be referred to as Chelsea Manning.
There will be occasions when in the course of reporting the story as it moves through the appeals process, that Ms. Manning will be called "Bradley Manning" by officials, as Kevin Gozstola noted at FDL The Dissenter with regard to the reporting there:
I will refer to Manning as Chelsea Manning even when recounting events in the court martial because that is the appropriate and respectful thing to do.
Now, as far as the coverage page at FDL that says "Bradley Manning," FDL will consult members of the transgender community and see what they think would be appropriate. The coming weeks may see some adjustments to the page in order to be sensitive to Manning's announcement.
We, too, at The Stars Hollow Gazette and Docudharma ask for input from our transgender community on how we should appropriately report on Chelsea Manning in the future.
We wish Chelsea the best and hope that the president will grant her clemency.

Q: When I compare Character in java, Why is equals() not working, but == is? I'm trying to solve the classic Valid Parentheses question on LeetCode.
This is what I did, and it can pass all the test cases:
public boolean isValid(String s) {
    Deque<Character> stack = new LinkedList<>();
    for (Character c : s.toCharArray()) {
        if (c.equals('{') || c.equals('[') || c.equals('(')) {
            stack.push(c);
        } else {
            Character check = stack.isEmpty() ? ' ' : stack.pop();
            if (check != (c - 1) && check != (c - 2)) { //***
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return stack.isEmpty();
}

but when I change the line *** into this:
if (!check.equals(c - 1) && !check.equals(c - 2)) {}

Although it can pass the compiler, but it can not return the right answer, not even the simple input like "()".
Normally, shouldn't we are supposed to use equals() rather than == to compare Character?

A: If you add debugging to the if block in question
System.out.println(c);
System.out.println(c -1);
System.out.println(c -2);

you will see the char followed by two int values.
In your original code, type casting was taking place.
In my IDE, there is even a warning
Unlikely argument type for equals(): int seems to be unrelated to Character
As summed up in the comments above:
subtracting an int from a Character will return an int value. You need to cast it back as char when using equals as it will be auto-boxed as an Integer

When I was a kid, I went trick-or-treating with my friends, just like almost everyone else. (In fact, I went with a friend in her neighborhood because the getting was good- one guy owned a wholesale company and would hand out one pound candy bars.) And, my kids go trick-or-treating (photos may follow later- they're going as vikings- no, not the football players- this year).
I've always been a little uneasy with the darker side of this day. It started in darkness, and it really hasn't gotten all that much better as it morphed over the years. Harvest festivals are all well and good, but the darkness that surrounds its beginnings is hard to ignore or deny.
No, I don't think that all the Wiccans who celebrate Samhain today are evil or anything like that (I'm not counting those who intentionally practice the dark arts in that group... and that isn't a judgement of their religion, just their intentions). I've just never been a fan of goblins and ghouls and ghosts and haunted houses and all that stuff. (My kindergarten teacher dressed up as a witch on Halloween, and I completely freaked out... get the picture?) I don't like scary movies (except for the rare few that are intellectually and/or psychologically intriguing). I avoid gore (the man and the carnage). Maybe it's because I believe in the real thing- there is real evil and a real Devil and real demons. I don't need to see the commercialized versions, thankyouverymuch.
Dutch witches were guaranteed a financial treat when the Leeuwarden District Court reaffirmed their legal right to write off the costs of schooling _ including in witchcraft _ against their tax bills. Those costs run to thousands of dollars.
The court found on Sept. 23 that a witch can declare schooling costs if it increases the likelihood of employment and personal income.
Uh... yeah, I know it's in The Netherlands, but... can't you see some idiot lawmaker in the States thinking this is a good idea.
It is the adults who should be afraid this Halloween. Not of ghouls and goblins, but of permanently scarring their children.
In a recent study of six- and seven-year-olds in the Philadelphia area, Penn State psychologist Cindy Dell Clark found that most parents underestimate just how terrifying the holiday can be for young kids.
Halloween has been scaring the heck out of kids of all ages for centuries.
Precisely. The problem only came up when people started shielding their kids from the world around them. They are so afraid of damaging their kids (ruining their self esteem or shielding them from all pain or keeping them from getting each and every boo-boo) that they don't give their children the tools they need to cope. There's nothing wrong with a little fear every now and then.
OK... OK... I'm done... I'm not sure where I was going with all of that... there has to be something better than a demonic holiday for everyone to participate in. But, until then... trick or treat!
There's an awesome blog with some great political cartoons called The Dry Bones. Here's a sample.
Check 'em out. Very good stuff!
President Bush just nominated Judge Sam Alito to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in the Supreme Court.
Unlike when he nominated Harriett Miers to rave reviews by the Dems, this time the "loyal opposition" launched their first salvos before Judge Alito's nomination was officially announced.
The choice was likely to spark a political brawl. Unlike the nomination of Harriet Miers, which was derailed Thursday by Bush's conservative allies, Alito faces opposition from Democrats.
So, will this be the cage match many conservatives have been itching for? We'll see. He's definitely got a paper trail, and he's been called "Scalito" or "Scalia-light" because of his judicial philosophy. This could be interesting.
I just want to hear what he has to say during the hearings. Is that too much to ask?
UPDATE: Chuckie Schumer (D-NY) has already thrown out the "F" (filibuster- what did you think I was talking about?) Bomb. You remember the F Bomb, don't you? That thing that the Gang of Fourteen was supposed to keep from happening. That thing that, if they threaten it, I want to see Schumer and Kennedy and Reid and Kerry and DiFi and Boxer on the Senate floor at 3am, reading the Complete Works of Shakespeare. (OK, I don't really want to actually see that- but I do want to hear about it the next morning.) If they're going to threaten to filibuster (according to dictionary.com, a filibuster is "The use of obstructionist tactics, especially prolonged speechmaking-emphasis mine, for the purpose of delaying legislative action"), they better well do it instead of just holding their collective breath and saying "we won't vote, and you can't make us!"
Geez, guys. A Democratic-controlled Senate unanimously confirmed Judge Alito for the Court of Appeals back in 1990. Give him a chance!
UPDATE- John Cornyn (R-TX) just said that the Dems have issued a fatwa against Alito. That is too funny. I think I like at least one of my Senators.
UPDATE- Bob Beckel just commented that there are very few people (Bob said maybe 2 people) that President Bush could have nominated who would have cause MORE of a fight because Alito's views run counter to the mainstream view of America. Hmm... I like him already!!!
This is going to be an... odd... post. There is a major language (and some content) warning for the links. You have been warned.
So... there's this squirrel. With an anger management problem. His name is Foamy. He has a friend named Pilze, who is also a squirrel, who has enough psychosomatic disorders to write a medical textbook. There's another squirrel named Beagley, and he's a British punk squirrel. They all hang out with Germaine, a goth chick. They are all part of this bizarre, twisted internet cartoon series.
Like I said, Foamy has an anger management problem, so he uses a lot of foul language. (However, he is a South Park style conservative, so at least he's not a moonbat.) And his friend Pilze is on 132 pills a day (plus he's addicted to coffee). It's not that Germaine actually owns them... she just can't seem to get rid of them.
If you want to see what I'm talking about start here, and then go here. Then maybe this one and this one. And you will end up saying things like "Oh. Coffee. Thank you. I would love some" and, if you're not careful, "I need a bagle, and you know I need a bagel. A bagel with cream cheese, yeah the creamy cheese, everybody likes the cream and the cheese and the cheesy cream. And a cup of coffee. I definitely need a cup of coffee."
And then, after you begin quoting Foamy without realizing it, you can take this test, and see which character you are.
to submit yourself to everyone elses idiocy.
Foamy. Bitchy, and worse humor. Go home.
Which Neurotically Yours (Foamy) Character are you???
The Texas Book Festival is going to be on the State Capitol grounds this weekend. The stated purpose of the festival is to promote Texas authors and raise money for Texas public libraries. Great idea... bring a bunch of Texas authors together to highlight their work, and maybe raise some money for literacy programs.
There is an impressive list of authors doing readings and giving talks over the weekend. The event kicks off Saturday morning with a talk by former President Bill Clinton.
What am I talking about? Well, Mrs. Strayhorn is currently the Texas State Comptroller, and I suppose she does a good job. But it really must be difficult to find time to actually do her job when she's been gunning for the Governor's office since her first day in the Comptroller's office. She has used every opportunity presented to her to slam Rick Perry and the job he's been doing as Governor. (Granted, I don't think he's the be-all and end-all of governors... he's made mistakes... but, geeez).
Her latest attack on Governor Perry is "The Conservative Commentary", a series of radio ads featuring "One Tough Grandma" , each one blasting another of Perry's mistakes (some of which were not his fault). That would be fine... if it was the election season. You see, the election isn't until November. Of 2006.
I don't know who's advising her, but I almost think it's a Perry plant. I mean, she's going to alienate potential voters by whining this much this early. We want positive change, not nagging hacks with no new ideas.
And that "One Tough Grandma" thing... memo to Carole... we don't want tough grandmas... I prefer my grandmas soft and good at hugging.
What exactly does it mean when you start getting hand-me-downs... from your own children?!?!
Well, it looks like Scooter Libby is going to be indicted for lying to the grand jury.
Here's the deal. There was no law broken originally. If Scooter (and why in the world are people still calling him "Scooter"? The man is in his 50s, for goodness sake!) lied to the grand jury when the truth would have done perfectly well, then he deserves to be indicted for committing a felony.
The Left so wanted to take down the Administration for taking down their political enemies. They have been salivating at the prospect of Karl Rove being indicted and "frog marched" out of the White House. All I have to say about that is "too bad... so sad."
Looks like Harriett Miers has withdrawn her name as the nominee to the Supreme Court.
How do I feel about this? Not sure. She wasn't the best nominee... then again, it looks like the best nominees all said "no thanks." What does that say about the process when good justices don't want to put their families through all of that grief?
And, let's not even get into this person's obvious psychological problems. That's far above my pay grade.
Steve Harrigan from FoxNews is pretty darn crazy. He was one of the imbeds during the Iraqi invasion. He was out in the middle of Katrina. And Rita. And now he's standing on a street in Everglade City, Florida, while Wilma makes a quick visit. Yeah, I know he's not the only reporter standing outside in the middle of the hurricane. But he just seems to be the only one who is ALWAYS in the middle of the nasty stuff.
The good news is that Wilma is no longer moving slowly. She's making her way across Florida at over 20 miles an hour.
Keep the citizens of Florida in your prayers. And tell FoxNews that their reporters need more hazard pay.
It is with a heavy heart (and droopy eye lids) that I must tell you of the passing of my coffee maker. The Mr. Coffee kicked the grinder last night after attempting an evening pot of java.
My Mr. Coffee had a full life. He was part of the family for over 10 years. He provided many, many pots of consciousness-giving brew to those who knew him. He is survived by his younger brother, the 4-cup coffee maker, a sister, Sunbeam the Hot Shot, and a distant cousin, the Espresso Machine.
Mr. Coffee will be interred next Friday at a local landfill following a brief yet emotional ceremony. In lieu of flowers, please share a cuppa joe with family and friends.
Yesterday, a woman in San Francisco was arrested after throwing her three children off of a pier into the Bay. She said that voices told her to do it.
Lashaun Harris told authorities that voices had told her to throw her children into the water, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. It was not immediately known whether she had an attorney.
The pier is in the Embarcadero area, which draws tourists to the historic Ferry Building within view of Coit Tower and the landmark Transamerica pyramid. It's about a mile from Fishermen's Wharf.
It was reported on FoxNews that Harris' mother was trying to gain custody of the children, presumably because of her daughter's mental illness.
While the entire story is horrifying on its own, that's not what's really bothering me about this. Someone called 911 after seeing this woman throw three children off of a pier. One at a time. After she had removed their clothing. Because voices in her head told her to do so.
If I had seen any of this, I would have heard voices in my head, as well. The voices would have screamed first for caution ('uh... why in the world is that woman taking the clothes off of her kids... that's... odd') then shear terror ('O.M.G. She just tossed that baby into the Bay!') then action. No, I wouldn't have just called 911 to report what happened. I would have stopped her. Grabbed the kids. Ran away with them and then called the police.
Why is only sane people who are deaf to the voices in their heads? Sometimes those voices are a good thing.
By now, most of you have heard about the supposed desecration of the bodies of some Taliban killed in Afghanistan by some American soldiers. The whole world is up in arms at this "atrocity". According to Jason Coleman, things might not be as they appear.
Now it's important that after you read the articles and you watch the clip to realize that the troops that allegedly burned the bodies (to my knowledge, the actual event video hasn't been released as of this writing) did so because of legitimate hygiene concerns. The Taliban soldiers had been dead for over 24 hours and were begining to become a concern. So in keeping with good battlefield hygiene practices, they disposed the bodies in the most effective and safest means possible, burning. It's quite obvious that soldiers dug in around a position, with enemy forces in the vicinity, cannot be expected to go out and bury the bodies; and the Taliban certainly wasn't going to come out and collect them (this is a war, remember). So we can't really fault them for burning the bodies.
Now the reporter on the scene, Stephen Dupont, who was embedded with the American troops, himself admits that it was later, when a PsyOps unit arrived on the scene, that more was made of the burning than actually took place, IN ORDER TO "smoke out" and "provoke" a fight with other Taliban fighters on the scene. Taken as it is, a separate tactical event, this is not that big a deal. The goal of armies is to find and engage the enemy, to root them out and destroy them. PsyOps has long been considered a legitimate and effective means of waging war. All parties to conflicts use it and it generates the desired effects.
Makes sense, right? And all of the facts will come out in the investigations. The problem is that, even if the soldiers are cleared of any wrong doing, it's too late. Our image is tarnished yet again, by a media who fervently believes that the US can do no right and our enemies can do no wrong.
It looks like Wilma has slowed down a lot as it approached the Yucatan peninsula. It's kind of stuck in an eddy. If you've been to Schlitterbahn or any other water park with a "lazy river", you know what I'm talking about. You're floating along, minding your own business, and suddenly, you're stuck between two currents, and you have to fight to get back into the main current of the "river." Well... that's what's up with Wilma right now. No chance of her losing a lot of strength before she wrestles herself free, though.
I guess the good news is that this gives the people in her path a little more time to prepare. That's a good thing.
Sorry about the lack of posting lately. I haven't been overly inspired to post anything. Meirs? nah. Hussein's trial? ick. Delay and Frist and Rove and... ? bleh. Wilma? well, yeah... I'm sure I'll be posting about her as the week goes on.
On top of that, the Lordex therapy I've been doing is helping... and not so much... My lumbar spine is pretty much where it's supposed to be, and the muscles are (grudgingly) building up to protect the disks that aren't quite up to snuff. There is very little if any inflamation left in the that area. (Woohoo!!!!!) The bad news in all of that is that little things that (evidently) have been a little out of whack for a while (but that I didn't notice because my back hurt) are working their way to the surface. Then the chiropractor gets to tweak those problems. Until all of this gets worked out, I can't spend a lot of time sitting up... which makes typing difficult, to say the least.
Don't give up on me, though. I'm sure I'll be inspired by something sooner or later.
Yes, it's Tuesday, which means... it's time to dance! Head on over and see what the Ladies of the Cotillion have to say this week. And, then head on over to Beth's to vote on the King of the Cotillion. Voting closes Sunday night.
'What's that?' you ask. Well... it's also known as coffee. Cafe. Cafe noir. Cappuccino. Decaf. Demitasse. Dishwater. Espresso. Ink. Jamocha. Java. Joe. Mocha. Mud. Perk. You get the idea. It's the second largest traded commodity behind oil. Most importantly, it is the sole reason why many night-owls can function at the inhumane hour of 8am.
Al Gore is running at the mouth again, this time in Sweden. (It was mentioned by someone that he never says this tripe in the States where someone can get in his face and call him on his delusions).
Let's start with the one thing he got right.
umm... yeah, and we're kind of happy that the Electoral College is alive and well. Let's see... if he had won the election (oh, wait! Did he just admit that he actually lost? Be still my heart!), our taxes would be through the roof, the recession that Clinton gave us would probably be a full fledged economic depression, there would be severe restrictions on the Internet, and... sorry, I can't go on... I'm scaring myself.
"We would not have invaded a country that didn't attack us," he said, referring to Iraq.
"We would not be trying to control and intimidate the news media."
Of course you wouldn't be trying to control and intimidate the news media. They were on your side! The only people trying to "control and intimidate" the news media are... wait for it... the "Digital Brownshirts" in the blogosphere. Bloggers fact-check the media and make sure that everyone knows the blatant bias of the Main Stream Media. Those are the people you would be trying to control and intimidate. Too bad. So sad.
"We would not be routinely torturing people," Gore said.
Excuse me? "Routinely torturing" people? Please tell me you're not talking about the military's treatment of POWs... Detainees in Gitmo have more to eat and better health care than they'd have in their home countries. Detainees in Afghanistan and Iraq can pretty much say the same thing about their care. The only "torture" was carried out by a small group of people who were punished for their crimes.
Global warming? But... I thought the planet was cooling. I thought the sun was warming everything in the solar system. I thought... I thought... oh, yeah... I remember what I thought. Gore, Mr. "Combustion Engines are Evil but I drive an SUV", would rather our society turned back to a more... organic, primitive time. This from the man who created the Internet.
Mr. Gore, should the United States be tolerant of risks to our security, especially risks from people who give aid and comfort to the enemy by spreading lies and half-truths around the globe? That is what you were doing, in case you hadn't realized it. You were talking down your country, emboldening our enemies, possibly putting our military men and women in danger.
I'd tell you to think about that before you open your mouth again, but I know better. You can't help yourself.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a Wookiee named Chewbacca growled and howled his way through "Star Wars" movies. On Monday, the actor who played him will take the oath to become an American citizen.
British-born Peter Mayhew will be among 441 people from 77 countries who will become naturalized Americans in a ceremony in Arlington, Texas.
Welcome to America, Mr. Mayhew. I hope you enjoy your new home.
It's Tuesday, and it's time for The Cotillion. It's an abreviated Cotillion this week, hosted by North American Patriot.
Bombs, I mean... first, we had Hinrichs blow himself up at OU during the OU/KSU game. Then, last Friday, there was an explosive device found at a UCLA apartment. And, today, three explosive devices were found near the dorms at Georgia Tech.
Three explosive devices found in a courtyard between two Georgia Tech dormitories on the East Campus Monday morning were part of a "terrorist act," an Atlanta police official said.
One of the devices exploded, injuring the custodian who found them inside a plastic bag. Two others were detonated by a bomb squad.
Why do none of those options appeal to me?
What makes the Georgia Tech incident interesting is that authorities have already labled it a "terrorist act." What do they know?
If the tsunami was Allah's punishment on the visitors in south Asia for their sexual perversion, and the hurricanes that hit the Gulf Coast in recent months were "terrorists" for Allah sent as a wind of evil and torment sent by Allah to America, then what are Muslims saying about the earthquake in Kashmir over the weekend?
I don't want to belittle the suffering of the people of India and Pakistan who have been injured or lost loved ones in these horrific quakes. Far from it. My thoughts and prayers go out for them. Nations from all over the world are stepping up to help in the rescue effort, providing food and equipment and personnel. And I'm proud of our response.
This has just made me more than a little curious. When "acts of God" happen to their enemies, Islamic fanatics give Allah the praise of pouring his wrath onto the infidels. When an act of God kills tens of thousands of their own people, do they still praise Allah for chastising them? Do they wonder what it was that caused his anger?
As a Christian, I don't think that all of these natural disasters are judgements on groups of people. I can't help but think that God is trying to get our attention, trying to turn us back to the Bible. I'm just wondering what other faiths think about all of this.
Well, I'm right so far. The Cards beat the Padres last night 7-4, so they play Wednesday against whoever wins the Braves/Astros series. And, I really don't want to talk about the Shootout, except to say that it was UGLY.
Now, it's the Blog Sabbath. Go... get off the computer for a while.
Can anyone tell me who this "misfit" is?
You're thinking to yourself, 'uh... no. I've never seen that guy before in my life.' And you would be... WRONG.
That, my friends, is none other than George O'Dowd. Never heard of him? You may know him better in his younger days.
Yup. That's Boy George. Wow. He has changed a bit, hasn't he?
Well, he's back in the news. Evidently, police responded to a burglary call at his apartment and found some cocaine. Oops. He says it's not his. Well, it was next to his computer. That's not a good sign.
A lot of people on the conservative side of the blogosphere have been a bit... apoplectic about the President's nomination of Harriett Miers to the SCOTUS. The Other Beth, however, has an interesting theory. Maybe Harriett is THE best nominee right now.
Personally, I'm not quite ready to tar and feather Ms. Miers. I want to hear what she has to say. I'm curious to see if Dr. James Dobson will be issued a supoena to testify at the hearings. I'm a little disappointed that the President didn't nominate a more... well-known candidate. But I want to get to know more about her judicial philosophy before I say she's not worth it.
But... go read what Beth had to say. She has a very valid point.
UNICEF, in its efforts to raise money to help the former child soldiers in Burundi, have a new commercial (well, a 25 second "film") in Belgium.
They claim this is for "adults only", but you know kids are going to see it. And it's going to be very upsetting. I know it's just for the shock value, which they got. There had to be a better way to raise money for those kids than this. Messing with children's cartoon friends is just... well, it's just wrong.
What's Next? Dogs and Cats Living Together?
It has to be a sign of the Apocalypse, right? I mean... James "The Mouth" Carville, getting something right? It can't be!!!
The problem with Democrat campaign speeches is "litany," and they need more narrative like Winnie the Pooh stories, political consultant and pundit James Carville said.
At a speech sponsored by the Northwestern College Democrats Thursday evening, Carville told the audience that Democratic candidates can't succeed by shouting out to every group in a crowd. Instead candidates should tell stories with the three elements of any good story — setup, conflict and resolution.
"Sometimes the problem with being a Democrat is being a Democrat," he said.
Drat! Who told him! The good news is the LLL won't listen. I mean... they're not listening to this report, so why should anyone think they'll listen to The Mouth when he tells them how to win?
Boston is out of the playoffs. Let's see... now the Angels need to tap into their divine and beat the Yanks... Houston needs to win... the Cards need one more... Then... the White Sox beat the Angels in 5, Cards over the Astros in 3, and we have an I-55 Series.
Yeah... yeah... I know... "no one will care about an I-55 Series!" And? No one cared about the I-70 series (Cards v. Royals), but we loved it.
Hey... give me this, at least. I mean... my Blues aren't doing a dang thing yet. The Bats' season hasn't started yet. And... uh... um... I'm not sure I want to talk about The Shootout tomorrow. (But check out what Lord Spatula I, K&T has to say about it).
I'm not a big Subway fan. It's nothing against them- I'm just not a huge sandwich fan. I do like their wraps- more stuff, less bread-like-material. But... I may have to go there more often, if for no other reason than to support them after this short lived but brilliant campaign.
Two years after relations between the US and France soured over the Iraq war, French-bashing in America appears alive and well in light of a recent ad campaign by a fast-food chain linking France and cowardice.
The ad by the Subway chain touted a cordon bleu chicken sandwich with the words "France and chicken, somehow it just goes together". A photo of a chicken dressed like Napoleon accompanied the advertisement.
Subway ran the ads in about 10 US states for nearly a month and pulled them in September following an outcry by members of the French expatriate community and other customers offended by the racist undertone.
Technically, it's not racist. "French" isn't a race... it's a nationality. There's a difference.
Subway says that it wasn't trying to say that France was full of cowards, but to draw a comparison between French cuisine and their new sandwich. And it looks like the French ex-pats got their... um... feathers ruffled.
Here's the poster. You tell me if it's offensive. Personally, I think it's inspired. I love the chicken's costume!
Yup... going to have to stop by Subway sometime soon.
... okay, that was really, really bad. Then again, so is what this church is doing.
The First Assembly of God Church has a Fear Factor ministry that had youths swallowing live goldfish — if they were up to it. The church's youth minister says it teaches children about fear, but a grandparent questioned it and a pet shop owner called it animal cruelty.
"Fear Factor" is a reality TV show in which contestants compete by participating in dangerous activities or by eating stomach-turning foods for cash prizes.
"We need to be realistic about what the Bible says about fear and not be afraid to share our faith in school," youth minister Anthony Martin told the TimesDaily in a story Thursday. "We can't let that fear rule our lives."
Well, that's true. We can't let fear rule us. And I understand their theory. Appeal to the youth by embracing parts of their culture. The church I go to does that, to a certain extent. We use secular music and movie clips and stuff like that to draw people's attention. And it can work.
But, I have problems with this on several levels. First, they chose a not-so-good part of our culture to embrace. Using "reality" television is risky. The people on this show are doing stupid things for money. Oh, yeah... that's a good thing to hold up to kids as something to aspire to. (Yeah... I know... it's all in fun, no ones getting hurt - except the fish, and they're talking about a different fear... blah... blah... blah... ).
Second, they're swallowing live goldfish, for goodness sake. Yeah... I know it was a fad a while back (I am so happy I missed that one). Just because my aunt and uncle's friends did it doesn't mean that it's right. I'm not real happy with killing goldfish to spread the Gospel. That just doesn't sound... right.
Third, they say there's no peer pressure, and the kids don't have to participate. BUT... they can't advance in the competition unless they go through with it. That's just not right.
I do have a solution to their little problem. When I was a kid, I had a t-shirt that said, "What? You've never swallowed a Goldfish?" It was an ad campaign for the new (at the time) Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers. They could make the kids think they were going to swallow real ones (have a fish bowl of them or something), but give them the crackers instead.
The world's first autonomously-controlled robotic fish have been unveiled at London Aquarium.
The robotic fish are said to swim as fast as tuna, with the acceleration of a pike and the navigation skills of an eel.
The fish, designed by Professor Huosheng Hu, of Essex University, navigate by sensor based controls, and mimic the motion of fish.
Prof Hu's team worked with the London Aquarium for three years to develop a biologically-inspired robot that mimics the undulating movement of real fish.
Ummm... why? I know you're asking yourself that, right? Well, they say it can help improve the performance of other underwater vehicles or maybe detect underwater mines or leaks in pipelines. Personally, I think they did this just to see if they could.
Well... I saw this at No Pundit Intended, who got it from Cobb, who started it.
After a year of temper tantrums, the NHL owners and players have put aside their petty differences, ended the lockout, and got back to the business of hockey. Tonight, the regular season kicks off tonight with new rules, new players, and hopefully a new, fan-friendly outlook.
Among the new rules are shootouts instead of ties, no playing in corners for goalies, and no red line for 2-line passes. New players include Sidney "Sid the Kid" Crosby (all of eighteen years old). The new outlook can be seen in lower ticket prices and those new rules (which will, theoretically, lead to more exciting games).
I can't wait for the first puck drop. Woohoo!!!!
Evidently, this depressed young man, who didn't want to hurt anyone but himself, tried to purchase "a significant amount" of ammonium nitrate (an important ingredient in farming and making really big booms- think OKC Federal Building- sized Big Booms) a few days before his "suicide."
Dustin Ellison, the general manager of Ellison Feed & Seed on Porter Avenue, said that a man matching Hinrichs' description had come into the store days before he blew himself up on OU's campus. Ellison said the man asked about ammonium nitrate, but couldn't offer a reason why he needed it.
After the bombing, Ellison said he thought nothing of it. However, when he saw Hinrichs' photo, it triggered his memory.
Oh, yeah... and he was attending a mosque near his apartment. And he had more bomb-making materials in his apartment. Yup... just a suicide... nothing to see here.
And the MSM is... where during all of this????
It happens all the time. You have friends... close friends. You do things together all the time, share your lives. Then, somehow, over time, Life invades, and you drift apart. Not because of any malice... just Life. You talk once in a while, or maybe not even that often. Years can go by, and you hardly notice. Your friends cross your mind, and you think, 'hmm... I wonder how they are doing?' but you never wonder quite enough to pick up the phone. You'll do that another day, when you have more time.
And then the phone rings, and you are out of time.
I got that phone call today. The wife of a friend passed away. She was my age.
Don't just wonder. Pick up the phone. Write the letter. Send the e-mail. You never know when you will be out of time.
Joel Hinrichs (the OU student who blew himself up Saturday night not far from Oklahoma Memorial Stadium during the OU/KSU game) may (or may not) have been a jihadi-wannabe.
... authorities recovered a "significant amount" of "jihad" materials, as well as Hinrichs' computer.... those same sources indicated police and federal agents "had pulled additional explosives from [Hinrichs'] house," including triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, "homemade explosive [that is] very potent but relatively easily manufactured."
While it should be pointed out that this information comes from The World's Most Alarmist Website, it is interesting to note that the investigation is being headed up by the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force. If it was just some disturbed kid who wanted to start his 15 minutes of fame with a bang, why would they be interested in it?
You know... when you get a bunch of women together, you never know what's going to happen. Sometimes, there are deep, philosophical discussions... sometimes a cat fight... sometimes, the subject wanders to the subject of guys.
And that's just what happened with The Cotillion this week. Yeah... there's the normal round-up, if you want to see what the conservative ladies of the Blogosphere are up to this week. But... some of the ladies wanted to do something just a little different.
It seems like some of the guy bloggers (not ALL... in fact, none of the ones that I consider friends) have a problem with the chick bloggers. We're not taken seriously. The guys pay attention to photo on the "About Me" page and ignore the brilliance that we may post from time to time. Well... let's turn the tables, shall we?
We've decided to revive the (short-lived) tradition, so we can have some fun with Cotillion! I've already got one volunteer (not saying who just yet), but we need MORE VOLUNTEERS so someone isn't crowned King with no brutal friendly competition!
The prize: Lots of Cotillion womens' linky love for you, a heavy dose of female attention, and of course, braggin' rights! Maybe we'll toss in something like you get to pick something for me or someone else to write about, or something like that.
Well... the President has chosen the Dem's next victim person that he would like to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. And the winner is... Harriett Miers.
President Bush chose Harriet Miers, White House counsel and a loyal member of the president's inner circle, to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, senior administration officials said Monday.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg as the second woman on the nation's highest court. Miers, who has never been a judge, was the first woman to serve as president of the Texas State Bar and the Dallas Bar Association.
Without a judicial record, it's difficult to know whether Miers would dramatically move the court to the right. The lack of a judicial paper trail may also make it more difficult for Democrats to find ground upon which to fight her nomination.
Democrats are going to hate her because, well... because the President likes her. The conservatives (not necessarily the Republicans, though) don't like her because she is an unknown quantity in several areas (and you know that abortion is one of those). She's never been a judge (which might be a bonus). Both Democratic and Republican Senators suggested her, which should make both sides gringe just a little.
"There's every indication that she's very similar to Judge Roberts — judicial restraint, limited role of the court, basically a judicial conservative," said Republican consultant Greg Mueller, who works for several conservative advocacy leaders.
Like I said... hopefully that's the truth.
Let's see what all of the talking heads have to say. They know more about jurisprudence than I do.
Ew... well, since I'm guessing that they only wanted living persons, there goes the top of my list, but... oh, well. But... those eleven? Yikes. Let's see what we've got... 2 religious leaders (what about separation of church and state???)... three evil capitalists (but they're moonbats, so that's ok, I guess)... three corrupt world leaders... a brainy anarchist... a rich mastermind... and Alan Greenspan???? What's up with that???
Let's see... other notables... George W Bush was #43 (how convenient, eh?). JK Rowling was #49. Bono came in 14th, and Hugo Chavez was 32nd.
OK... so I think everyone know what I think of this, right? People who read the Beeb news site (and buy it hook, line, and sinker) are... umm... a few fries short of a Happy Meal. But... what do you think? Who would YOU put on your "fantasy world government"? Just to be fair, let's keep it to people who are alive at the time you post your comment, and follow the rest of the Beeb's rules.
Users were required to pick at least one each from a select list of leaders, thinkers and economists, and had a free choice of any other eight, including the option of selecting "wild cards" from areas such as sport, politics, arts and design.
But... since I don't have the lists of leaders, thinkers, economists, and everyone else that they used... I'm just going to have to leave that up to you.
Leave your lists in the comments... this should be fun!
But... But... I'm So Confused!!!!
Global Warming is going to be the end of us all, right? I mean... that's why we're having so many hurricanes, right? And the polar ice caps are melting, right? And... and... everything else evil that the environmental terrorists activists are telling us. And... it's all our fault.
Increased output from the Sun might be to blame for 10 to 30 percent of global warming that has been measured in the past 20 years, according to a new report.
Increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases still play a role, the scientists say.
But climate models of global warming should be corrected to better account for changes in solar activity, according to Nicola Scafetta and Bruce West of Duke University... "The Sun may have minimally contributed about 10 to 30 percent of the 1980-2002 global surface warming," the researchers said in a statement today.
But that's not what ELF tell us. Humans are the cause of all evil in this world... right?
To the layman, the relatively small changes in temperature and sunshine can be highly misleading. Reid Bryson of the University of Wisconsin points out that the Earth's average temperature during the great Ice Ages was only about seven degrees lower than during its warmest eras – and that the present decline has taken the planet about a sixth of the way toward the Ice Age average.
Ice Age? ICE AGE???? But... I thought we were going to destroy the planet with warming. Not an Ice Age. First, you tell me to break out the sun screen and flip flops, and now I'm supposed to dig out the parkas and snow shoes? Will you people make up your minds!!!!!!!
Global Warming? Global Cooling? Make up your minds, people!!!
During the first have of the OU/KSU game in Norman, there was a small explosion.
One person was killed in an explosion in a traffic circle about 100 yards from a packed football stadium at the University of Oklahoma on Saturday night.
Authorities were calling the death a suicide.
The loud noise of the explosion could be heard inside Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where 84,000 people were watching the Oklahoma Sooners play Kansas State.
Officers cordoned off an area west of the stadium after the explosion and nobody was allowed out of the stadium immediately after the blast, which occurred shortly before 8 p.m., at about halftime of the game. People were allowed out of the stadium at about 8:30 p.m.
A police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast.
The area near the stadium was searched by bomb dogs.
Wait... they detonated explosives found at the site? But... the person died in an explosion... um... 48 hour rule and all that, but... doesn't that kind of sound like a Palestinian work-related accident to you?
It's Saturday, and that means it's a day of watching college football. The UT and Nebraska games were on one of the broadcast networks, but the rest of the Big 12 games were on Fox Sports Southwest.
Have you noticed the trend on Monday Night Football to show the booth and to be able to hear the director calling the final couple of cues of the evening? Kinda cool, right?
Hmmm... I guess I need to provide a little background, don't I? I'm a production team volunteer at my church. That means, on Sunday morning, you just might find me back by the gear, running the light board or the computer system, or working a camera, or tinkering with the video deck (I don't touch the sound board, and I think we're all happy about that). My official title is "producer", and that means that I call cues, put out fires (figurative and literal) and try to keep everything as smooth as possible. You know our team is doing their job when you don't notice them.
Well... watching the games today, you couldn't help but notice the director because you could hear him calling cues and running countdowns throughout the day. (It wasn't the video director, because I couldn't hear each shot cue, just the main cues and the graphics cues.) It was cool, at first... but... it's kind of distracting. And, if it was just during the game, that would have been one thing. You know it's bad when you could hear the cues during the commercials!!!!
Having a "behind the scenes look" at the production is a very... trendy idea. Having it constantly during the show is just... unprofessional.


The world may be forever changed. Seriously. Two things happened this weekend that may change the way atoms react.
1. I said that Mark Cuban was gracious. FYI Mark Cuban is the owner of the Mavericks 2011 NBA CHAMPIONSHIP team. I love basketball and I lived in Dallas for a while. So the Mavs are the team I cheer for when I watch professional ball. Mark Cuban is eccentric and he likes attention. However during this post-season, he was quiet, behind the scenes. That is unusual. However when the trophy was being awarded tonight and he was given the chance to talk, he deferred. He was gracious. I have to say well done Mark Cuban. Well done.
If that isn't enough to undo chemical reactions and change the Earth's gravitational pull this next thing may do it for good.
2. I slowed down enough to do something I really enjoy. I walked around my yard after a short rain storm and snapped pictures. I am not the best photographer for oh so many reasons, but I got some mighty pretty shots. At least I think so. I also marveled again and God's creation, felt the cool damp grass under my bare feet. I managed to soak my jeans and t-shirt. Oh, but it was worth it. I couldn't believe I had ignored the beauty in my yard for so long.
Me taking pictures, walking in the wet grass barefoot, and praising God for what He made. I am surprised the Earth is still spinning in orbit.
So begins my list of things for which I am grateful.
488. My boy is so close to being potty trained!
489. My girl is working on keeping her thumb out of her mouth.
491. Vacation Bible School is here!

Indian PM inaugurates world's tallest statue in Gujarat
WCN Editorial Team 31 Oct 2018 ASIA BUILDINGS
The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi has unveiled the world's tallest statue, dubbed Statue of Unity, a memorial dedicated to the Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Standing tall at 182m from the ground, the statue is located on the Sadhu Bet Island, about 3.5km south of Sardar Sarovar Dam at Kevadia in the Narmada district of Gujarat. The total project cost is estimated to be INR29.9bn ($404m).
The statue is almost 29m taller than Spring Temple Buddha in China that stands at 153m, and almost twice as high as the 93m Statue of Liberty in New York.
The steel, concrete and brass-clad statue has been built by the Indian construction giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T) in 33 months.
In October 2014, L&T's Buildings & Factories business won the EPC contract for the design and construction of the Statue of Unity from the Government of Gujarat. Work on the raft of the statue started in December 2015.
Apart from L&T, the project also includes Turner Construction, Michael Graves and Associates, and Meinhardt Group.
The Statue of Unity complex includes an exhibition centre at its base, a memorial garden, a designer bridge connecting Sadhu Island with the mainland along the Narmada River, a 5km internal roadway, improvements to the existing roads/bridges/culverts connecting the area of Sadhu Island.
It also features an administrative complex and a star hotel (Shrestha Bharat Bhavan) and a conference centre.
With a unique, slender width to height ratio, the statue rises out of a star-shaped, geometric base that covers the entire Sadhu Hill.
The structure has two vertical cores each housing a high-speed passenger elevator. The vertical cores support the steel frames to which about 6,500 bronze panels are clad.
It also features a viewing gallery that can accommodate up to 200 visitors and offers spectacular views of the Sardar Sarovar dam.
L&T CEO and managing director SN Subrahmanyan said: "The Statue of Unity, apart from being a symbol of national pride, and integration is also a tribute to India's engineering skills and project management abilities.
"Larsen & Toubro has delivered several projects of national significance and we are proud to be associated with building the world's tallest statue, which is a fitting homage to the Iron Man of India - Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel."

The AMA believes that there is currently no compelling evidence that e-cigarettes are successful in helping people to stop smoking, and they should remain subject to strong regulation in Australia.
In its submission to the Standing Committee on Health, Aged Care and Sport Inquiry into the Use and Marketing of Electronic Cigarettes and Personal Vaporisers in Australia, the AMA says that the tobacco industry is aggressively pursuing the potential of new products, including e-cigarettes, which can either maintain or establish a nicotine addiction in users.
AMA President, Dr Michael Gannon, said today that the growth in e-cigarette products internationally has provided sections of the tobacco industry with the opportunity to rebrand themselves as part of the effort to reduce smoking – but there is no evidence that e-cigarettes work as a deterrent.
"Smoking causes cancer and smoking kills people," Dr Gannon said.
"Australia is a world leader in tobacco control, and we must remain a world leader in stopping people smoking or taking up smoking for the first time.
"We must not allow e-cigarettes to become a socially acceptable alternative to smoking.
"E-cigarettes essentially mimic or normalise the act of smoking. They can result in some smokers delaying their decision to quit, and they can send signals to children and young people that it is okay to smoke.
"E-cigarettes and related products should only be available to people over 18 years of age. The marketing and advertising of e-cigarettes should be subject to the same restrictions as cigarettes.
"And, importantly, e-cigarettes must not be allowed to be marketed with claims that they are a smoking cessation aid. There is no such evidence.
Dr Gannon said that longitudinal research being conducted by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) into the safety or otherwise of e-cigarettes is ongoing and will take time.
"Until we see comprehensive clinical reports from the NHMRC on the safety or non-safety of e-cigarettes, we must continue to treat these products with extreme caution," Dr Gannon said.

Леони́ды — метеорный поток с радиантом в созвездии Льва (R. A. = 153°, Decl. = +22°), действующий с 14 по 21 ноября. Знаменит сильными метеорными дождями.

Связан с кометой 55P/Темпеля — Туттля. Имеет ярко выраженную периодичность около 33 лет, соответствующую возвращениям кометы-прародительницы к Солнцу. Последний раз комета прошла перигелий в 1998 году, и вновь вернётся лишь в 2031 году.

Поток характерен быстрыми беловатыми метеорами, влетающими в атмосферу Земли со скоростью 71 км/с. Интенсивность потока варьируется от года к году и зависит от плотности потока, через который проходит Земля.

История
Самым ранним историческим свидетельством об этом метеорном потоке является его описание, сделанное Евтихием Александрийским в 901 году.

Наиболее известен метеорный дождь, который наблюдался в ноябре 1833 года в США на территории от Атлантического океана до Скалистых гор.  описывала его так: «Буря падающих звёзд обрушилась на Землю…, небо в любом направлении было забито светящимися следами и освещалось величественными болидами. В Бостоне частота метеоров оценивалась приблизительно в половину её значения для хлопьев снега в буране средней силы». В связи с этим явлением многие проповедники утверждали, что близится Судный День. Это событие было увековечено в легендах индейцев и в песнях темнокожих рабов.

В 1934 году появилась джазовая песня об этом событии под названием Stars fell on Alabama («Звёзды падали на Алабаму»). Её исполняли Фрэнк Синатра, Элла Фицджералд и Луи Армстронг. В связи с этой песней номерные знаки автомобилей жителей Алабамы содержат изображение звёздочек и нот с надписью «Stars Fell on Alabama».

В последний раз мощный метеорный дождь наблюдался в 1966 году, когда каждый час в небе можно было наблюдать до 150 тысяч метеоров.

В 1999 году зенитное часовое число (ZHR) потока составило несколько тысяч. Также заметные всплески были в 2000 и 2001 годах.

В 2010 году — ZHR около 30, наблюдениям сильно мешала Луна в фазе 80 %.
