Is it progress if a cannibal uses knife and fork?

Huh?

To think, this comment will last an entire night.

I sure hope not!

after using knife and fork .. a cannibal works his way up the food chain to Democrat.

That way he can eat his own kind .. and justify it too.

Hmmm.

In a multi-culti society, cannibalism is simply a matter of taste.

I would say.. no.

Gives new meaning to the term, "Cultural Assimilation" - doesn't it?

"At the outbreak of the war he was imprisoned in a German concentration camp. There he stayed until July 1943 when the camp was liquidated by mass executions. Escaping in a German uniform, he succeeded in reaching Warsaw where he joined the underground fighters. After the war he continued his writing, varying his career by brief service as cultural attache of the Polish Embassy in Vienna. He has also spent two years in Israel."

Iran warns of Gulf blitzkrieg, Hormuz closure

The chief of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards militia, General Mohammad Ali Jafari, meanwhile, warned that his forces would use "blitzkrieg tactics" in the Gulf if his country came under attack.

"The Guards are equipped with the most advanced missiles that can strike the enemies' vessels and naval equipment with fatal blows," Fars quoted the Guards chief as saying.

In case of attack, "blitzkrieg tactics and operations of the Guards' boats will not leave a chance for the enemies to run away."

I was expecting more for an ending, though to be honest, I hate the tidy neat little bow or obvious plug for a sequel endings. I hate when the movie includes a "here is why and how everything happened" scene for no reason other than to spoon feed how clever the filmmakers were to the audience. This movie avoided both of those.

Iranian Blockade 'An Act of War'

Any Iranian move to blockade the Strait of Hormuz would be considered as an "act of war", a top US military official said yesterday.

Iran would "not be allowed" to take control of the key oil route and an attempt to do so would provoke a "vigorous" international response, said outgoing Fifth Fleet Commander Vice-Admiral Kevin Cosgriff.

He was responding to Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander General Mohammed Ali Jafari's warning on Saturday that Iran would choke off the strait if the country was attacked.

A quarter of the world's oil supplies pass through the narrow stretch, between the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Gulf.

"I cannot imagine, given the critical nature of that body of water, that the international community would not be outraged should Iran or any entity move to restrict the freedom of navigation," Vice-Adm Cosgriff told a Press conference at the US navy base in Juffair.

"They are not going to be allowed to do so. It would be an act of war. "In a tight oil market, the international community would respond vigorously to that." He would not specify what action the US would take.

Standard artillery has a 16 mile range, unassisted. That is the problem.

and, with standard radar assisted counter battery tactics, it has the life expectancy of an beer near me.

/next issue.

Even Iranian mines could be countered relatively quickly, because of the basing of two Osprey-class coastal minesweepers in Bahrain. Additional minesweeping craft would have to come from the United States, but this is much more capability than was present in the late 1980s. In a naval-air confrontation, one carrier battle group of the United States has a huge advantage against the Iranian military.

Seasonal Factor Seen in Melting and Ice Shifts in Greenland

a Dutch study using 17 years of satellite measurements in western Greenland suggests that the movement associated with the meltwater is not as rapid as had been feared. The acceleration appears to be a transient summer phenomenon, the researchers said, with the yearly movement actually dropping slightly in some places.

It seems the NYT has discovered Arctic warming is seasonal.

I liked it. Not overbulky. Accurate out to 800-1000 meter, but still usable for close quarter, room or trench clearing. The one thing I did not like was the sling set up, which shifted its center of gravity to the left if you slung it cross body. A little 550 cord solved that though.

As per Ambassador Joe, this stuff, all 600 (US) tons, does not exist, even though the AP says it does.

re: #164 Neo Con since 9-11

Seasonal Factor Seen in Melting and Ice Shifts in Greenland

It seems the NYT has discovered Arctic warming is seasonal.

Ummm... no, I believe that is not what the research is saying.

The original paper is here. The abstract:

Large and Rapid Melt-Induced Velocity Changes in the Ablation Zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet

Continuous Global Positioning System observations reveal rapid and large ice velocity fluctuations in the western ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Within days, ice velocity reacts to increased meltwater production and increases by a factor of 4. Such a response is much stronger and much faster than previously reported. Over a longer period of 17 years, annual ice velocities have decreased slightly, which suggests that the englacial hydraulic system adjusts constantly to the variable meltwater input, which results in a more or less constant ice flux over the years. The positive-feedback mechanism between melt rate and ice velocity appears to be a seasonal process that may have only a limited effect on the response of the ice sheet to climate warming over the next decades.

[My emphasis]

As Andy Revkin pointed out, it is the acceleration (due to the positive feedback) that is happening seasonally. Point being, if the positive feedback (of the melt-water seeping through the ice) occurred continually all year (12 months instead of seasonally) the melting of the Greenland ice sheet would happen much more quickly. Which is of course a good thing.... for if the ice sheet were to melt substantially over just a few decades it would be difficult (impossible?) for us to adapt successfully...

I added the "successfully" intentionally... for sure, homo sapiens is a very adaptable species; there is little doubt about the ability of the species to pass on its genes. I was thinking more on the line of the impacts... e.g., required rebuilding of seaports. Perhaps the word I should have used is "prosperously".

With a bit of arthritis, the revolver is a good choice. Double action, but learn single. Parts can be honed to reduce effort.

A good .357 revolver is a handy thing to have.

For carry I prefer a 9mm auto. I plan on using a Glock 26 with a Commonoli safety installed (have the 26, haven't put the safety on it yet).

A while back I read a long series of articles written by a guy who had lived through a real "SHTF" scenario following the collapse of the Argentinean economy, and his conclusion was to carry the highest-cap 9mm you could conceal.

Ah.

Okay, that's better...

We'd have to devote several decades to little more than relocating and diking and adapting, but by God WE COULD DO IT, FreeToken! :)

re: #246 RTLM

I think the best handgun for home protection is a .357 Magnum. You can get lighter ammo that will stop an intruder and also not travel through your walls to the neighbor's house. Its also simply loaded, simply emptied and simply aimed.

Easy to wield for everyone.

Home protection? Shotgun.

/just racking it deters 9 out of 10 intruders and it's really hard to miss the other one that's not deterred

(yeah, right....... %-)

The last time you were innocent was just before you were weaned. After that it's probably been all down hill. :)

re: #251 Pawn of the Oppressor

A good .357 revolver is a handy thing to have.

For carry I prefer a 9mm auto. I plan on using a Glock 26 with a Commonoli safety installed (have the 26, haven't put the safety on it yet).

A while back I read a long series of articles written by a guy who had lived through a real "SHTF" scenario following the collapse of the Argentinean economy, and his conclusion was to carry the highest-cap 9mm you could conceal.

well, my worst case scenario is that i'm @ w*rk in one part of LA when the "big one" hits, and i have to part the seas, as it were, to get home.....

i'm thinking a deuce & a half, with a full squad, and 4 or 5 basic loads of ammo *might* get me home in one piece. 45 vs 9? 6-5 and pickem..... one has better power, but what if you miss? you have fewer reloads.....

i'd love to get a Kimber, but that's serious $. until then, i'll have to rely on my 1930's Colt, but since CA says i can't carry anyway.......
dry chemical fire extinguishers are your friend. %-)
