George Washington Carver invented neary 1000 uses for the peanut. Somehow mashing a bunch of peanuts up into a fine paste and putting it on a slice of bread wasn't one of them....

New round of WP air bursts, man are they fused high up. Something really big just went up behind that WP curtain. I wonder if that WP curtain was intentional for the cameras benefit, to hide whatever went up from view?

According to the Corn Products Company, Dr. Ambrose Straub of St. Louis patented a peanut butter-making machine in 1903 and some unknown doctor invented peanut butter in 1890.

Actually you've reminded me of one of the greatest bar bet trivia questions of all time:
To which country does Santa Catalina and all the other Channel Islands belong?
A: Mexico!
How can that possibly be? Here's how: When the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago was drawn up in 1848, both parties completely forgot to make any mention of offshore islands. So that, technically, none of the islands off the coast of California were ever granted to the United States. And to this day, even though the Islands are part of the US National Park System, Mexico still legally considers itself to be the legal owners of ALL the Channel Islands, and that they are Mexican land. However, the Mexican government does not press the issue, so as not ruffle the relationship with the US.

peanut butter, not in the koran
Of course peanut butter isn't in the Koran. If you put peanut butter in the Koran it's very hard to get the pages apart again after you close the book on the peanut butter.
Also, most people who aren't raised in the U.S. hate peanut butter. I think you have to have childhood memories of the stuff to eat it.

Obama will not touch Fitzgerald more a good, long, while. The scandals Fitzgerald is investigating do not implicate Obama, so he will leave Fitz alone until the investigations are complete. I suspect that Obama has learned the key lesson of Watergate: What gets the president is trouble is the coverup, not the crime. If Obama lets this play out, he should get through it without major damage.

I must have missed this.
Yesterday and today I've been trying to read Amazondotcom book reviews for a next new book about the Koran.
I'm looking for something a real scholar in ancient Aramaic would pull together, having to do with the need to revise the koran we have today.
But the majority of reviewers are Muslims who have the ''reasoning skills'' of 3-year-olds.
"He's out-dated, it's silly talk, he's mistranslating it in line with his agenda, he's not an expert, its already perfect,'' and so on.
A lot of reviewers give these books ''F's."
So, I'm still looking.

Yes, it was that bad. Even if he hadn't been warned before, Charles (correctly) viewed Dorian's post as advocating violence and unconstitutional measures. No, I'm afraid he's gone for good.

Most people are not going to post comments like those you seek. Given the violent reaction Muslims have to any suggestion that the Koran should be revised, anyone who advocated that prominently would be fored into hiding or killed in short order. Sick, I know, but true.

I have only been registered here since Nov. 2007 but have been reading for years. Never managed to catch an open because of the time difference here in Africa. Managed to catch one when I was in the US in Nov. 07, just by chance I happened to check what was going on here and saw the door open.

So the main push is from South to North.
Heh, the Egyptians probably could have told HAMAS that three days ago, and probably didn't, that we know of. Not that HAMAS could have done anything about it.
===
Good tactics. Knowing that home, and an end to the fighting, is on the other side of the enemies capital city/positions tends to spur soldiers forward. While at the same time HAMAS already knows that the IDF has solid positions North and East of them, after three days of being badly beaten in those directions, and there is no escape.

re: #7 Fenway_Nation
George Washington Carver invented neary 1000 uses for the peanut. Somehow mashing a bunch of peanuts up into a fine paste and putting it on a slice of bread wasn't one of them....
G.W. Carver trivia: Carver (1860-1943) died at age 83 having never married, and there is anecdotal evidence that he was -- ahem -- one of those "confirmed bachelors," wink-wink nudge-nudge. However, as far as I know, the evidence for Carver's homosexuality is mainly third-hand -- we don't have a clear smoking gun in the form of posthumously discovered letters or diaries written by Carver himself.
That said, some of Carver's own associates apparently believed that in his last decade of life, he'd been "more than friends" with his much younger laboratory assistant (and housemate) Austin W. Curtis (1911-2004). I'm pretty sure that Curtis went to his grave without ever having confirmed the rumors about Carver. Of course, the possibility remains that Carver was a celibate homosexual who had eyes for good-looking younger men, including Curtis, but did not attempt to pursue a physical relationship.

'12:10PM: Israeli tanks have been shelling downtown Gaza, hitting a UNRWA site and apparently Reuters offices.

I think that confirms the shorter fatter of the two tall buildings is the UNRWA building. It took a single tank round into a corner office about six or seven floors down from the roof.
Achmed kinda zoomed in on it for a minute shortly after it got hit, big hole in the wall, yellowish smoke pouring out of the window, unconcerned "inspectors" on the balcony below.
Achmeds looking at it right now, but doesn't seem to think it merits another close up. Achmeds fire seems to have gone to gray/white smoke now.

What happens when a fly falls into a coffee cup?
The Italian - throws the cup and walks away in a fit of rage.
The Frenchman - takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.
The Chinese - eats the fly and throws away the coffee.
The Russian - drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge.
The Israeli - sells the coffee to the Frenchman, the fly to the Chinese, buys himself a new cup of coffee and uses the extra money to invent a Device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.
The Palestinian - blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union for a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, and the Russian are trying to explain to the Israeli why he should give away his cup of coffee to the Palestinian.

Actually, I have two, but they live in the "catland" part of the house. When I got married, my husband (who just caught open registration, btw) came in with his two "eviction" cats (from Pigtown, naturally) but the Pigtown dogs are not as happy about the cats as they should be.

Heh! But actually, Russia is very much a "tea culture" and many Russians have probably never tasted any coffee but instant -- so arguably the flavor of a drowned fly would be a modest improvement.

re: #386 Render
Render I'm walkin the other way on that one. Because you cant keep condemning Germans for the things they did. Yes there are some that still think that what happened was just a matter of cause and effect. And there are still some with EXACTLY the same attitudes. But you dont condemn a whole people for the rest of eternity based on actions 60 years ago. You cant and you shouldnt. You should sit up and realise that bad people exist across racial lines and ethnic lines, and even religious cues. I'm too open minded to sit there and condemn a whole friggin race for one set of actions. Otherwise it would be 2009 and I'd be bitchin about the Japanese and not buying a thing from them because 'they dont deserve my money because of Pearl Harbour'.
Bad people exist and when they come to flower .. you uproot them and prevent them seeding. This whole Nazi-Arab scenario is existing because the bad patch of Nazis wormed their ways and were PRESERVED by Egyptians and Syrians. And they adopted what worked.
You have a direction to vent your creative and aggressive energies wisely and I suggest you do so.

Last night I navigated on my phone to foxnews mobi to read up some news. Under "World News" there was an article with a title sounding like "UN organization responsible for gaza school operations is found to be tied to terrorist orgs". I clicked on it, but fox said "page not avail". I wend back to home page of fox news, and all the top news articles were replaced with new ones.
Has anyone read this news last night? Google news does not show anything like it. I am puzzled. Was that a bogus news piece Fox pulled shortly after publishing?

Take no prisoners. Reuters and the UN are both sitting right in the middle of this show for a reason. And it aint the right one. I wouldnt be half surprised if the Israelis telephoned the offices telling them that the Reuters people are hosting Hamas operatives in the building and if they are not brought out that the building will be treated as a hostile entity (with absolute justification .. even by INTERNATIONAL LAW).

Islam is a hateful religion, hell it's The Hateful Religion by its own self-definition, but I still don't hold all Muslims responsible for that.
I am blaming the present day German police for not calling for reinforcements and busting heads on that crowd. The German police violated their own laws to do that.
I am blaming the present day German police for using the exact same excuse their forefathers did.

There was a time that things could have been done. But the fifth column is woven into the society and choosing sides from this point onwards is just going to be very difficult. I tend to believe that the Islamic domination of Europe WAS not inevitable, but the sheer fact that people who dont like what has been going on have the avenue to move elsewhere leaves just the peasants, the politicians, and the problems left behind.

Completely OT, but earthshattering in it's implications; Life On Mars
If this is true, it changes our very concept of the universe and our place in it:
ALIEN microbes living just below the Martian soil are responsible for a haze of methane around the Red Planet, Nasa scientists believe...
Nasa are today expected to confirm its presence during a briefing at their Washington HQ.
And the find is seen as exciting new evidence that Martian microbes are still alive today.
Some scientists reckon methane is also produced by volcanic processes. But there are NO known active volcanoes on Mars.
Furthermore, Nasa has found the gas in the same regions as clouds of water vapour, the vital “drink” needed to support life.
Experts speculate that the methane is being emitted as a waste product by organisms called methanogens living in water beneath underground ice.

Drew Peterson's girlfriend has moved in with him, friends and family members say
Drew Peterson's latest love interest has moved in with him, according to distraught friends and family members of the 23-year-old mother of two. "It's unbelievable," said Joe Raines, the uncle of Peterson's alleged fiance, Christina Raines. "I don't get it, but what are you going do? She's an adult."
Peterson is the 55-year-old former Bolingbrook police sergeant who is the sole suspect in the disappearance of his current wife, Stacy. Authorities are also re-examining the mysterious death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in an empty bathtub in her home in 2004.

It is unfortunate to see that the USA has already capitulated to terrorism before Obama is even sworn in. I refer to Obama's comments that Iran and Syria should be included in the negotiations over Middle East solutions.
By doing so Obama has legitimized these despotic regimes, reversed years of Bush administration efforts to isolate them and stop Iran's nuclear development, and emboldened both regimes to continue to support terrorism and islamic fanatics because Obama's actions show it works.
Obama is no match for an Iranian regime that gave thousands of kid soldiers plastic keys to enter "paradise" and forced them to cross mine-covered fields in the Iran-Iraq war.

Geithner Accepted IMF Reimbursement for Taxes He Didn’t Pay
Although it has been dismissed by some observers as a “hiccup” in an otherwise smooth confirmation process, treasury secretary-designate Timothy Geithner’s failure to pay self-employment taxes during the years he worked at the International Monetary Fund is causing some Republicans on Capitol Hill to ask serious questions about his actions. First among those questions is why he accepted payment from the IMF as restitution for taxes that he had not, in fact, paid.
Documents released by the Senate Finance Committee strongly suggest that Geithner knew, or should have known, what he was doing when he did not pay self-employment taxes in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. After his failure to pay was discovered, first by the IRS and later during the vetting process, Geithner paid the federal government a total of $42,702 in taxes and interest.
The IMF did not withhold state and federal income taxes or self-employment taxes — Social Security and Medicare — from its employees’ paychecks. But the IMF took great care to explain to those employees, in detail and frequently, what their tax responsibilities were. First, each employee was given the IMF Employee Tax Manual. Then, employees were given quarterly wage statements for the specific purpose of calculating taxes. Then, they were given year-end wage statements. And then, each IMF employee was required to file what was known as an Annual Tax Allowance Request. Geithner received all those documents.
This is the man who is going to be in charge of the TREASURY? God help us.

I am not particularly impressed by IDF aborting on-target air strikes against terrorists merely because of the collateral prescence of a non-targeted individual. It not only rewards and encourages the terrorists to increase their use of civilian shields but it is also a waste of expensive ordnance.
And posting propoganda videos of this sends a message to Hamas of Israeli weakness.
If Israel feels the need to operate in this way they should keep it to themselves.

All I can do is apologize for the fact that my state keeps sending this guy to Washington:
The Curious Case of Christopher Dodd
Curiously, as a US Senator, Dodd takes no responsibility for the bailout legislation, and its flaws, that he voted for. More curiously, even though he is the Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Dodd can somehow wash his hands of his role in recent financial collapse. Even more curiously, he implies that he was duped by a President that liberals have been claiming has the IQ of a turnip:
Diane Sawyer: Are you saying the Bush administration tricked you, pulled the wool over your eyes?
Christopher Dodd: They didn't say what they were going to do. 535 members of Congress cannot manage a program like this.
...
At least when the Roman Emperor Caligula installed his horse in the Senate, he sent the whole horse. Most curiously, every six years, Connecticut voters see fit to send only the hindquarters.
Love the ending of that article.

I lost a friend several years ago to brain cancer. He seemed healthy as a horse, then one day started having breathing trouble. He went in to the doctor on a Monday to get checked out, they diagnosed the cancer on the Wednesday, and he died 3 days later.

Doing great here my friend, except for the cold. I'm in the office all alone, my employer is closed due to the cold, but I had stuff to do in the office anyway and I can be productive with no one here and no phones ringing.
Had a great time at the festival. My wife and I played Scarborough Fair and Starry Starry Night on stage, got caught up on the latest with old friends, and learned some new stuff.
I'm working on a version of "Dueling Banjo's" for the dulcimer. Also composed a whole new tune while at the festival. It only took me about 15 minutes to work out most of it. I've refined it slightly since we got home. Don't have a title fopr it yet though.
Got the new Apple PC installed last night at home but since then have not been able to touch it, as the daughters have been all over it like ants on ice cream. They say it's quicker than a chicago politician on the take.

DEBKAfile's military sources sum up the Egyptian-Hamas ceasefire accord presented to Israel as no better than a repeat formula of last year's failed informal truce, which led to the outbreak of the current Gaza fighting. One senior officer told us: For this we didn't have to go to war."

UN Violates Geneva Conventions in Gaza
UNRWA allowed Hamas terrorists to use their buildings to fire anti-tank weapons at IDF forces. A Givati Brigade force came under anti-tank fire from within a UNRWA headquarters building. The IDF on Thursday afternoon said that the army ordered an artillery shelling of the UNRWA building in Gaza in response.
In another incident, a UNRWA car was used by gunmen to fire upon IDF troops, who returned fire.
The UNRWA is responsible for whomever enters their buildings and for what happens within their buildings. By permitting their building to be used by terrorists as a firing position, UNRWA is in gross violation of the Geneva Conventions of War.

A father passing by his son's bedroom, was astonished to see the bed
was nicely made, and everything was picked up. Then, he saw an
envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed
'Dad'.
With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the
letter with trembling hands . . .
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing to you. I had to
elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with
Mum and you.
I've been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so nice, but I
knew you would not approve of her, because of all her piercing's,
tattoos, her tight motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much
older than I am.
But it's not only the passion, Dad. She's pregnant. Stacy said that
we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a
stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having
many more children.
Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really
hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves, and trading it with
the other people in the commune, for all the cocaine and ecstasy we
want.
In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS,
so Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to know your
many grandchildren.
Love, your son, Joshua.
P.S.
Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the
School Report that's on the kitchen table.
Call when it is safe for me to come home

Every time some wacko liberal talks about torture, a video clip of people jumping out of the Twin Towers should play in the background.
There were about 300 jumpers. That is about 1 out every 10 deaths. When you factor in that many of the dead either died during the initial crash or during the collapses, the number of jumpers compared to the number of stranded is much higher.

What the liberal media won;t report,
Meanwhile, the IDF was observing a daily "humanitarian corridor" between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., to allow for the transfer of humanitarian aid into the Strip, and for Gazans to stock up on necessary supplies.
In a statement released Thursday morning, Defense Ministry spokesman Peter Lerner said that a total of 1,136 trucks of humanitarian supplies have been transferred to Gazans since the beginning of the IDF operation in the Strip, as well as fuel trucks and medical personnel.
The statement added that the electrical grid in the Gaza Strip was functioning at 74% capacity, up from 40% at the beginning of the operation.
Lerner said the state of the electrical supply was "a direct result of the coordination between the IDF, the Palestinian Energy Authority and the International Committee of the Red Cross."

Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there long before they were. A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back. Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the mall.
When that individual read the response from a Luke AFB officer, it must Have st ung quite a bit.
The complaint:
'Question of the day for Luke Air Force Base:
Whom do we thank for the morning air show? Last Wednesday, at precisely 9:11 A.M, a tight formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over Arrowhead Mall, continuing west over Bell Road at approximately 500 feet.. Imagine our good fortune! Do the Tom Cruise-wannabes feel we need this wake-up call, or were they trying to impress the cashiers at Mervyn's early bird special?
Any response would be appreciated.
The response:
Regarding 'A wake-up call from Luke's jets' On June 15, at precisely 9:12 a.m., a perfectly timed four- ship fly by of F-16s from the 63rd Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base flew over the grave of Capt. Jeremy Fresques. Capt Fresques was an Air Force officer who was previously stationed at Luke Air Force Base and was killed in Iraq on May 30, Memorial Day.
At 9 a. m. on June 15, his family and friends gathered at Sunland Memorial Park in Sun City to mourn the loss of a husband, son and friend. Based on the letter writer's recount of the fly by, and because of the jet noise, I'm sure you didn't hear the 21-gun salute, the playing of taps, or my words to the widow and parents of Capt. Fresques as I gave them their son's flag on behalf of the President of the United States and all those veterans and servicemen and women who understand the sacrifices they have endured..
A four-ship fly by is a display of respect the Air Force gives to those who give their lives in defense of freedom. We are professional aviators and take our jobs seriously, and on June 15 what the letter writer witnessed was four officers lining up to pay their ultimate respects.
The letter writer asks, 'Whom do we thank for the morning air show? The 56th Fighter Wing will make the call for you, and forward your thanks to the widow and parents of Capt Fresques, and thank them for you, for it was in their honor that my pilots flew the most honorable formation of their lives.
Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Since I'm the first to criticize the media, it is only fair to point out that the story I linked upthread has already changed its headlines from "Israel shells UN compound" to "Israel says militants opened fire from UN compound."
The initial headline didn't say "Palestinians say Israel shells UN compound," but felt the need to include the disclaimer right up front in the new headline, but nonetheless, they did at least update the headline and the first few paragraphs when they could have added this detail to the 15th paragraph, or issued it as a 'followup' story on page 4.

Hey, some good news!
A bank actually made a profit last quarter! But notice the negative spin by the media.
J.P. Morgan profit falls more than 75%
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- J.P. Morgan Chase said Thursday that its fourth-quarter profit fell 77.6% amid continuing write-downs and a deteriorating consumer environment.
A $1.1 billion benefit from merger-related items helped the firm post a $702 million, or 7 cents a share, fourth-quarter profit, compared to a profit of $3 billion, or 86 cents a share, in the year-ago period.
Chase total net revenue dipped to $17.23 billion in the quarter, from $17.38 billion last year. Analysts at ThomsonReuters had expected the company to break even on revenue of $18.83 billion.
Analysts at FactSet had expected the company to report a 7 cents a share profit.
"Our fourth-quarter financial results were very disappointing, driven by a loss in investment banking largely attributable to continued markdowns on leveraged loans and mortgage trading positions, as well as weak trading results. We also faced higher credit costs associated with continued deterioration across our loan portfolios, including a $4.1 billion addition to loan loss reserves," Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said in a press release Thursday morning.
Eventually, these write offs will end and some large profits will get reported. .

re: #866 Silhouette
It's good that the news source has modified their headline to present a somewhat more objective tone. However, I have not yet seen a media headline anywhere which points out the FACT that UNRWA has committed a war crime by allowing the Hamas terrorists to use their buildings and vehicles. The UN is responsible for how their buildings and vehicles are used. The fact that Hamas continues to use UNRWA buildings as hiding spots, firing points and weapons depots is a war crime both by Hamas and by the UNRWA officials who permit this to happen.

Greets and saluts from global warming enhanced NYC metro area. It's a light dusting to a couple of inches, but it's enough to soften the rough edges in places (like parks and grassy areas) and turn the rest into a soggy brown mess. Then, it's going to get cold. Real cold.
It's winter. I expect it.
Meanwhile, expect much whining and seething over the Israeli attack that apparently hit UNRWA facilities in Gaza. Hamas was firing from the vicinity of UNRWA buildings using anti-tank weapons, and Israel returned fire. Minor injuries reported and several buildings on fire.
Hamas culpability gets ignored; the blame goes to Israel. That's the media way. That's the UNRWA way.
Israeli Human rights groups are looking to bring war crimes charges against Israeli officials. Nice. Ignore thousands of rocket attacks on Israel, each one an individual war crime, crime against humanity, violation of laws of war by purposefully targeting civilians, calls to ethnic cleansing and genocide by Hamas and Islamic Jihad and instead attack Israeli officials trying to protect fellow Israelis from attack. Classy.
These people have turned human rights on its head - defending terrorism against the rights of sovereign nations to defend themselves. It's unconscionable, and it's getting people killed because it enables terrorists like Hamas to think that they can endure and prevail.

Initial weekly jobless claims rise
Continuing claims trend highest since 1982
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- First-time applications for state unemployment benefits rose 54,000 to a seasonally adjusted 524,000 in the week ending Jan. 10, the Labor Department said Thursday.
The gain in the most recent claims data restarts an upwards trend that analysts had expected. Initial claims had declined in the prior two weeks, likely due to seasonal adjustment problems.The four-week average of new claims fell 8,000 to 518,500 - a level that is 55% higher than the average during the same period in the prior year.
Meanwhile, the number of people collecting benefits in the week ending Jan. 3 fell 115,000 to 4.5 million, a level that is 64% higher than the prior year. The four-week average of continuing claims rose 27,500 to 4.5 million - the highest level since December 1982. The insured unemployment rate remained at 3.4%.Initial claims represent job destruction, while the level of continuing claims indicates how hard or easy it is for displaced workers to find new jobs. Benefits are generally available for those who lose their full-time jobs through no fault of their own. Those who exhaust their unemployment benefits are still counted as unemployed if they are actively looking for work.
While not good, these numbers are still not near the 30's or even the worst of the 70's/80's. the population is a lot bigger now than it was in 1982, so comparing the numbers directly is somewhat misleading (what a shock that the MS would do that). Also the new claims are increasing at a decreasing rate.
I think Paulson and Bernanke were very successful in scaring the daylights out of many people, companies cut deep quick, and now the residue of that is playing out.
There is not going to be a quick recovery from this, but you will get a high rate of inflation and stagflation once this turns around, so plan your investments accordingly.

Ban: Death toll in Gaza 'unbearable'
[Link: www.jpost.com...]
Excuse me but didn't the Japs endure the "unbearable" and surrender when things became well unbearable? Hint. Hint.
Death tolls in context.
The media is always screaming "Death Toll in (Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc) Rises!" as if that was newsworthy. Since a "death toll" is the cumulative number of dead people, the number will always rise. Tell me when a death toll falls, that would be something!
Now, here are two historical death tolls:
1. Number of people killed in all the Arab-Israeli wars since 1948: 60,000 (including 22,000 Israelis, 38,000 Arabs).2. Number of people killed in all Muslim-Muslim wars since 1948: 11 million.

Kosher Marshmallows - they're usually available for sale one month before passover at supermarkets and kosher stores at outrageous prices. Year round they'll be available at kosher stores.
I remember an Orthodox Jewish friend -- who hadn't been raised Orthodox and whose family hadn't kept strict kosher when she was young -- admitting to me that one of the few non-kosher foods for which she sometimes felt pangs of nostalgia over were Lucky Charms.
I just assumed this must be because the marshmallows were considered fleischig (because of the gelatin) and breakfast cereals are, of course, normally eaten with milk!
But this comment about kosher marshmallows sent me Googling -- apparently animal-derived gelatin is pareve (neither flesh nor dairy). The actual problem with most marshmallows (including those in Lucky Charms) is that confectioners obtain their gelatin in industrial quantities, and most commercially-available gelatin in the U.S. is trayf because skins and bones and hooves from non-kosher species often go into the mix. (Oddly enough, the rendering process can turn cow parts from fleischig to pareve, but it can't make pig parts kosher.)

Israel Intensifies Assault on Gaza City; U.N. Building Shelled
A senior Israeli military officer said Israeli troops shelled the complex after coming under fire from Palestinian militants.
The artillery attack set the compound on fire, destroyed tons of food and humanitarian supplies and forced hundreds of refugees to flee.
Gunness says the building had been used as a shelter for hundreds of people fleeing Israel's offensive. He said three people were injured.
The U.N. chief says he has expressed "strong protest and outrage" to Israel over the shelling of the United Nations compound in Gaza City.
I feel confident that the UN building was being used like a Gaza schoolyard. The IDF said they came under fire from the UN building...I tend to believe the IDF.

Chávez reopens oil bids to West as prices plunge
President Hugo Chávez, buffeted by falling oil prices that threaten to damage his efforts to establish a Socialist-inspired state, is quietly courting Western oil companies once again.
Until recently, Chávez had pushed foreign oil companies here into a corner by nationalizing their oil fields, raiding their offices with tax authorities and imposing a series of royalties increases.
But faced with the plunge in prices and a decline in domestic production, senior officials here have begun soliciting bids from some of the largest Western oil companies in recent weeks — including Chevron, Royal Dutch/Shell and Total of France — promising them access to some of the world's largest petroleum reserves, according to energy executives and industry consultants here.
Their willingness to even consider investing in Venezuela reflects the scarcity of projects open to foreign companies in other top oil nations, particularly in the Middle East.
But the shift also shows how the global financial crisis is hampering Chávez's ideological agenda and demanding his pragmatic side. At stake are no less than Venezuela's economic stability and the sustainability of his rule. With oil prices so low, the longstanding problems plaguing Petróleos de Venezuela, the national oil company that helps keep the country afloat, have become much harder to ignore.
I'd tell Chavez to stick it.

Israel Intensifies Assault on Gaza City; U.N. Building Shelled
I feel confident that the UN building was being used like a Gaza schoolyard. The IDF said they came under fire from the UN building...I tend to believe the IDF.
I'm SURE there was firing from the UN building. Also from a vehicle with UN markings. While it could have been stolen or hijacked, I'd guess the people inside shooting at the IDF were UN employees.
Personally, if someone started shelling the UN HQ in NYC, I'd worry more about tourists and shells missing and hitting other buildings than anything else.

re: #966 Throbert McGee
I remember an Orthodox Jewish friend -- who hadn't been raised Orthodox and whose family hadn't kept strict kosher when she was young -- admitting to me that one of the few non-kosher foods for which she sometimes felt pangs of nostalgia over were Lucky Charms.
I just assumed this must be because the marshmallows were considered fleischig (because of the gelatin) and breakfast cereals are, of course, normally eaten with milk!
But this comment about kosher marshmallows sent me Googling -- apparently animal-derived gelatin is pareve (neither flesh nor dairy). The actual problem with most marshmallows (including those in Lucky Charms) is that confectioners obtain their gelatin in industrial quantities, and most commercially-available gelatin in the U.S. is trayf because skins and bones and hooves from non-kosher species often go into the mix. (Oddly enough, the rendering process can turn cow parts from fleischig to pareve, but it can't make pig parts kosher.)
"Lucky Charms" is one of the most nauseating breakfast cereals ever manufactured (along with "Froot Loops")
Not having a reliable form of pareve gelatin just means that we Jews are deprived of all those fruit and coconut casseroles that are so famous among church potlucks, so we must make do with smoked fish, lox, chopped liver, corned beef, pastrami, kishka, cholent, kugel, and matzah balls.

My quip comes from the actual events when Roberts was annouced. During the televized announcement, Mrs. Roberts got a 'pained' look on her face when their son was mentioned. The LLL noticed that and decided that there was something to hide there and planned to go find some dirt on the son. They issued calls to action to go forth and seek dirt.
Proving beyond a doubt that they are never really outraged at a Republican over a scandal, but that the hate comes first and then they go looking for the flaws to dislike the GOP candidate over.
The joke was on them when it was revealed the son was about 4 years old, and the pained look was because he was misbehaving by running around the stage at the time.

B of A to get more Federal support:
Bank of America may receive more bailout money
The U.S. Treasury Department is moving to provide Bank of America billions of dollars in additional aid as the bank struggles with mounting losses at Merrill Lynch, which it recently acquired, a person briefed on the talks said Wednesday.
It would be the second bank after Citigroup to receive an additional lifeline from the government.
U.S. regulators and executives at Bank of America, which has already received $25 billion from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, have grown increasingly concerned at greater-than-expected losses in the fourth quarter at Merrill, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose the information. The move to help shore up Bank of America comes on the heels of greater U.S. government intervention in Citigroup. After pumping more than $45 billion in Treasury money onto its balance sheet, the government has put pressure on the bank to dismantle the troubled empire in an effort to stem losses and curb capital injections.
While Bank of America was viewed not that long ago as a pillar of strength in the banking sector, it has seen its stock plummet as investors worry that it has acquired companies with their own set of financial baggage.
Besides the Merrill acquisition, which closed at the beginning of 2009, Bank of America also acquired troubled mortgage lender Countrywide last year.
This thing has a way to go yet.

A little levity,
Two guys are sitting at a table in a Chineese restaurant, one Catholic, one Jewish.
The Catholic guy says to his friend, 'Ya know there are Chineese Catholics all over the world"
The other guy says , "Yeah where?"
He answers, "Well Mainland China, Hong Kong & Taiwan for starters"
The Jewish guy says, 'Yeah well there are Chineese Jews in all of those places.
At that moment the waiter comes up to take their order. The Catholic guy says, "Hey, are there or are there not Chinesse Jews?"
The waiter says.,"I not know, but I ask Chinees cook, he knows everything"
A minute later he comes back & says, "I so sorry, no Chineese Jews"
The Catholic guy says ,'See I told you.
The waiter says "That right but we have orange jews, apple Jews & tomato Jews."

ECB cuts key rate to 2%
Economists see further easing in store
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- The European Central Bank delivered another rate cut Thursday, dropping its benchmark lending rate by half of a percentage point to 2% as policy makers deal with the first recession since the launch of the euro a decade ago.
The cut matched expectations and leaves the central bank's benchmark in line with its all-time low last seen in 2005.
Economists say the ECB, which has lagged behind the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and other major central banks, has more room to cut.
"After all, the industrial sector is in freefall and the economic downturn is rapidly building momentum," said Ben May, European economist at Capital Economics. "What's more, with a short period of deflation now likely later this year, any lingering worries at the ECB about the upside risks to inflation in the medium term may be fading quickly."
The ECB needs to stop screwing around and drop their rate to 0.50% and be done with it. They are expecting others to do the heavy lifting for them, plus they are trying to keep the value in the Euro with higher interest rates. Which makes their goods too expensive to import, which is a bad thing to have happen in a recession.
They will be back with more cuts later, after they damage their economy some more.

See, there is that balance of nature thing again. Your dog is the smartest in the world and mine is the dumbest.
We have seven dogs, so some of them are the smartest, and one might be the dumbest. He is 4 1/2 lbs, and has a hunting instinct; unfortunately, he thinks big beetles are prey. And he doesn't have the sense not to bother dogs much bigger than he is.
And then we have some dogs that seem to be capable of a degree of planning. Wait for the big dog to be preoccupied, and then steal rawhides from his crate. Or try to steal food from the back of the table, where he's hard to see.

He said that the "Obama administration, if we do it right, can provide that kind of interlocutor."
And, how about this for a coherent policy approach:
When questioned on whether his Middle East policy would build on US President George W. Bush's foundation or represent a clean break, Obama had suggested continuity when he replied, "I think that if you look not just at the Bush administration, but also what happened under the Clinton administration, you are seeing the general outlines of an approach."

Welcome to the new Middle East
The conflict is no longer about Arabs and Israelis. It's about Arab nationalists and Islamists
In Iran, elements from within the regime are reportedly offering a $1-million reward for the assassination of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak because of his opposition to Hamas in the Gaza Strip. In Lebanon, the leader of Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran and Syria, merely calls for the Egyptian government's overthrow.
In response to this, Tariq Alhomayed, a Saudi who is editor-in-chief of the newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, describes Hamas as Iran's tool, and argues that "Iran is a real threat to Arab security." Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, agrees, and he is not alone. When Arab states met to discuss the Gaza crisis, Saudi Arabia vetoed any action. Even the Palestinian Authority blames Hamas for the fighting. Activists in Fatah, which runs the Palestinian Authority and is Hamas's nationalist rival, make no secret of their hope that Hamas loses the war.
The only people who want Hamas to win are Syria, Iran. Oh, and the UN, of course. The Jordanians, Egyptians and even the Saudis are happy to watch Israel stomp out their Islamist threat.

From Newt Gingrich:
What Do You Do When The Guy Across the Negotiating Table Wants to Destroy You?
Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton’s confirmation hearings are underway in the Senate today. A good question for any senator who is interested in being honest about the real problem in the Middle East is this:
“Senator Clinton, imagine that you’re the Israeli Foreign Minister: What do you do when the other party at the ‘peace table’ is openly committed to your destruction?”
...
These are the words of the Hamas charter:
Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.
And here is how the founding document of Hamas treats the concept of “negotiations”:
"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."
Read the whole thing. I am seriously beginning to think Newt needs to run fro the Presidency in 2012. Maybe with Fred Thompson as his running mate.

* Medical Bags - Each bag is $300, and is loaded with state-of-the-art equipment for emergency medical personnel that respond to the wounded.

They can be grumpy, and a bit nippy, if they get bored (which they do very quickly ... not good town dogs!).
Big Dog was a cross-breed, mostly Border Collie, all the greedy bits of the Labrador, and some Springer Spaniel.
Most intelligent dog, ever, most fantastic dog manners, and absolutely wonderful with kids - and traumatised dogs.

I think it's restricted in use against people - can't be used.
But legal to use to when necessary to provide illumination when there is certainty people won't be affected.
That's my understanding. Could be big-time flawed.
It is intended to be used by scouting units and aircraft as a "marker" to identify targets for air or artillery strikes. Problem here is that when the enemy places the targets in and around civilian centers, civilians can get hit with it.

Not quite. All our standard poodles are smart, but two of them are extremely lovable. 50 and 60 lb lapdogs.
The other one is smarter, but he considers himself to be chief of security. Once he likes you, he just wants to be pet, but otherwise, keep away.
That second description fits the Standard I had.
She was a phenomal hunting dog. I'd go pheasant hunting with friends, and if somebody shot a pheasant, the dog would retrieve the pheasant, and bring it back to me.

Morning all.
I was just reading this morning's stories on the possibility of Israel coming to some sort of cease-fire agreement through the Cairo talks. It struck me what a massively difficult task Israel has. There is virtually no "cease-fire" agreement that will keep Hamas from re-grouping and re-arming. I'm feeling a bit negative (hopefully mistakenly) about the prospects for crushing Hamas out of existence.
I can't conjure up any terms (of a prospective cease-fire) that would satisfy Israel's security needs. Just the fact that they will have entered into an agreement with Hamas in Gaza would make it plain that they expect Hamas to remain in Gaza. Hamas will never stop attacking Israelis, so they'd essentially be conceding that they haven't achieved their goal.
I'm rambling, I know.
I'll go watch some Gazacam to focus myself.

Today's Middle East is very different from the old one. First, the internal politics of every Arab country revolves around a battle between Arab nationalist rulers and an Islamist opposition. In other words, Hamas's allies are the regimes' enemies. An Islamist state in Gaza would encourage those who seek to create similar entities in Egypt, Jordan and every other Arab country.

I totally LOVE this song and I think any man that has a woman in his life needs to dedicate this song to her. It is beautiful.

Frankly, I'm pleasantly surprised Israel has continued operations as long as it has, without bowing to "international" pressures for a cease fire.
They know they have until 0bama is elected and they lose their one sort-of-supporter in the UN. (I say "sort of" because the US should have vetoed the resolution last week.)

A very important point on democracies and war
94% of Israelis support the war against Hamas. How is this possible in a society that even 9 years ago elected the most dovish government in its history?
Let's set the benchmarks, because this number is really remarkable. Israel is citizen's all volunteer army. You don't get paid as reservist, you get paid crap for being a professional soldier and when you are drafted you get some pocket money so you can get a snack and a beer when and if you get leave of duty. Israelis are intimately familiar with the military and political events. they are news junkies.
Israeli families raise their kids and then send them off to the Army for two years. If a war comes, wives see their husbands and children off to war, never knowing if they will ever see them again.
As you can imagine, most people don't like their loved ones getting shot at by barbarians hiding behind women with strapped on explosive belts. It tends to ruin your days and your night's sleep for that matter. Israelis hate wars and could have a lot less of them if they used the indifference to human life used by her enemies. But Israelis would never do that. Instead, fighting back tears themselves, there is the terrible poignant moment when people part never knowing if this was the last kiss. You would never let your husband child go if you did not believe in the cause 100%.
Well 94% of Israelis are 100% certain that Hamas has outlived its usefulness and support sending those they love most in this world to see Hamas finished once and for all.
Think how little Hamas provoked Israel: all they did is declare their false cease fire over and shoot a few rockets and mortars over the border. Literally the entire Israeli people sat up and said, "no." Israel as a society, as is very rare in democracies, realized that this situation was intolerable and all out military force was the only way to end it. Hamas jabbed and jabbed away for years, a rocket here, a wounded child there. There is so much use of medications in Sderot it was a wonder people could even function at all. When Israelis realized that Hamas intended to turn all of Southern Israel, targeting a half million Israelis, Israel realized that, Hamas would keep bringing in longer and longer range rockets until all of Israel was a giant Sderot. When that realization finally sunk in, all the leftist and media pieties about how terrible Israel is and the need to treat Hamas as a legitimate negotiating partner evaporated ended forever.
When you realize that your neighbors' bombardment will soon be your own, you do what you have to do. Despite every part of your being screaming "no don't go!" you tell your son, "I love you, come home soon." Then you sit in your home watching the news and praying the phone does not ring.
The fighting continues but Israel has still not gone all the way. This is a unique great opportunity to make a new Hamas-free world. The time has come to finish the job-FAST!
And Gilad Shalit, you are coming home.

Freddie Mac: 30-year mortgage rate falls for 11th week
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Freddie Mac said Thursday the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell for the 11th week in a row to 4.96%, with an average 0.7 point for the week ending Jan. 15. In the previous week, the average was 5.01%, while the year-ago average was 5.69%. The continuing decline in 30-year fixed rate mortgages was partly attributed to the slowing economy and to government actions to help the housing sector, according to Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac chief economist. "So far, both the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve have added over $100 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market since September 2008, which put downward pressure on interest rates for fixed-rate mortgages. The Federal Reserve may add up to an additional $570 billion more this year, based on its Nov. 25, 2008, announcement, to further shore up mortgage lending and keep rates low," Nothaft said in a statement.

Lefthanders not right in the head
LEFT-handed people are make up only 10 per cent of the population, but are more likely to be inhibited, anxious, shy and embarrassed than right handed.
According to researchers at the University of Abertay in Dundee, Scotland who compared lefties and right-handers.
The participants were given a behavioral test that assesses personal restraint and impulsiveness.
The results showed that left-handers are more likely to feel anxiety, shyness or embarrassment about doing or saying what they want.
Left-handers were more likely to agree with statements such as "I worry about making mistakes" and "Criticism or scolding hurts me quite a bit."
The findings could be due to wiring differences between the brains of left- and right-handers, said study leader Dr Lynn Wright.
"Left-handers are more likely to hesitate, whereas right-handers tend to jump in a bit more," Wright said.
"In left-handers, the right half of the brain is dominant, and it is this side that seems to control negative aspects of emotion. In right-handers, the left brain dominates."
As I'm a lefty, I will shyly and hesitantly leave here, embarrassed ,and go take my anxiety medications :-)

Yowza. Morning, everyone. Hubby can't go outside and shovel snow with the extreme cold (he's off to the doctor's now), so I had to go out and do it with the current outside temperature at 13 below. (Thankfully, today they had the sense to close work.)
So, with thermal underwear, sweats, and regular clothes on over that, with my 20-below-rated parka, puffy gloves, surgical mask (to at least cover my face), superthick socks, boots, and a beaver hat, I went out and shoveled over half the drive. The cold wasn't the problem; the breathing was, despite taking my emergency inhaler before I went out!

The dog I was referring to is like that as well. I don't hunt, but play fetch with a "dead fowl trainer", and he loves it.
Our other two standards just want to play with it, or try to eat the rubber bird.
I briefly owned a White Standard Poodle, but I lived on a 2-acre place "out of the city limits". City dog.
My Irish Setter took that poodle out for an "adventure". Short 4 mile excursion. The poodle got lost, the Setter came back home.
We loaded the Setter up to look for the poodle, and finally saw the Poodle on a ditch road. We had to stop and tell the farmer what we were up to, "Posted Tresreppers will be shot" signs all over the place.
The farmer said "that's a Poodle? I thought it was a funny looking sheep!"
The poodle had remained there after losing contact with the Setter, and just jumped up in the air every once in a while waiting for rescue.
Shortly after that, we found the dog a good fenced-in-home in the town.

If Israel quits the war before winning, it will be perceived as weakness, and the chances for Livni/Kadima will be nil. Bibi will win in a landslide. OTOH, if Israel makes a solid victory, Kadima could get the power, and I think Obama would rather have Kadima in control than Likud. At least some talking heads believe that is the scenario.

More on TARP
Bank Of America (BAC) And The Incredible Disappearing TARP
Congress is fighting with both the administration that is leaving and the one that is coming about what should happen to the $350 billion left in the TARP. Most legislators do not seem to be happy about how Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson spent the first $350 billion. Too much of it got invested in banks and car companies. Not enough went to help mortgage holders.
Whether it is practical to help people with troubled home loans one-by-one may be beside the point. The fight over the TARP will be vicious. Saying that taxpayers will get their money back by saving the housing market probably creates good will politically.
The TARP may simply disappear before the debate about how it should be used is over. Bank of America (BAC) is negotiating with the government for billions and billions of dollars to close its acquisition of Merrill Lynch. That was not how it was supposed to work. BAC was supposed to have had the balance sheet to afford both Merrill and Countrywide.
Sitting on the government's side of the table in the talks with Bank of America are officials from Treasury, the Fed, and the FDIC. The deposit insurance agency does not have the capital to bail out a lot of big banks. It has to worry about work-outs for smaller ones that are failing. The Fed is willing to lend big banks money for a short term. It is not likely to get into the business of trading cash for equity.
The Treasury has already been through a round of throwing money at financial firms in exchange for equity and the possible right of making sure bank executives get the salaries they deserve rather than the ones their boards give them.
Once Congress does go along with letting Obama's Treasury Secretary have access to the $350 billion still left from the money that was allocated for the TARP, a great deal of it may be going right back out to banks. The forecast now is that Citigroup (C) could lose $10 billion this quarter. A look at what is happening to consumer credit, LBOs, and the alarming increase in corporate bankruptcies means that Citi may need more than one injection of capital this year. The same holds true for Bank of America and a number of other financial firms which have not yet telegraphed their Q4 numbers.

Two of our poodles were bread by a retired military person in town. They wandered his couple of acres as puppies. One time, a neighbor brought them back because they wandered into his land, but otherwise, they were good about coming back.
You must have had a spoiled poodle.
Unlikely. I got the dog at 10 weeks of age, and taught it to fetch, sit, stay, the whole routine. I thought the combo of Irish Setter (upland game) and Standard Poodle (water dog) would be ideal.
The dog was 1 year old when I found her a new home. Irish lived to be 16 years old, and hunted until she was 14.

OT - I don't know which side to be for!
... some East Coast ministers and conservative activists, who took to the streets in front of a downtown Salt Lake City theater on the eve of Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival to accuse the actor of holding down low-income Americans with his opposition to oil and gas drilling near national parks in Utah.The protesters, led by the Congress of Racial Equality's national spokesman Niger Innis, suggested Redford should "relinquish his wealth" and live like a poor person. They complained that the filmmaker's anti-drilling stance could lead to higher energy prices for inner-city residents, forcing them to accept a lower standard of living.
The clergymen prayed for Redford "to see the light" and linked his environmental activism with racism.
"The high energy prices we're going to see this winter are essentially discriminatory," said Bishop Harry Jackson Jr. of the Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Md., chairman of the High-Impact Leadership Coalition, a petroleum industry advocate.

re: #1243 Ford_Prefect
I just got my W2 for 2008. Between the feds and the state of CT they took more than 23% of my pay. And that doesn't count all the sales tax/ gas tax/ property tax/ registration fees/ license fees/ dump fees/ etc that add up throughout the year. And yet they say they need more. If this doesn't outrage people I don't know what will.
Don't forget that the payroll taxes are split between the employer and the employee. So, for example, you see a 7.5% SS tax on the W2. What you don't see is that your employer actually paid an additional 7.5% that did not appear on your W-2, but that you really did earn.
Bottom line - add 10% to the total.

Something else we can "thank" FDR for- payroll withholding. All that money disappears from your paycheck invisibly so you never notice it- unless you sit down and run the numbers as you just did.
This would be a very different country if everybody had to sit down and write a check every month to pay their taxes the same way they pay their mortgage or their electric bill.
But, the zero wants a guy to head up the Treasury that DID NOT pay his taxes. It was just an 'honest mistake'. If you or I made that 'honest mistake' our heads would be on the chopping block.

In Duluth, three hours north by road, it’s -17F but the wind chill is -43F. We have an abundance of cold, or more accurately, a dearth of heat, with plenty of snow for our use … if we could just bring ourselves to leave our homes.
And yet, in the Great Bailout Rush of 2009, what does Duluth want from Uncle Sam to “stimulate” its economy? As my good friend King Banaian points out, they need snowmakers — six million dollars’ worth of them (last item):

For some reason they dislike the whole 1985 Bears image (like, winning) and have intentionally divorced themselves from connections to it. Things got so bad when Ditka and Mike McCaskey fell out with each other, once Walter Payton died they avoid having anything to do with players from that era.

Absolutely! But, I think I'm almost jaded enough to appreciate BO appointing a guy to the position of chief tax collector who was (almost) good enough to beat the system. After all old poachers do make the best game wardens.
I'm ALMOST that jaded, but not yet anyway (besides, he wasn't that good if he got caught now was he :-)

Earlier, the IDF observed a daily "humanitarian corridor" between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., to allow for the transfer of humanitarian aid into the Strip, and for Gazans to stock up on necessary supplies.
World's slowest, least efficient genocide.

Not that this is a huge deal but can someone clue me in to why these Israeli flags are different.
Look at the right side of the Drudge Report; the picture of 2 Israeli flags with smoke in the background.
Now take a look at this picture from Google Images of the Israeli Flag.
Which one is correct and why are they different? Fautoshop?
That's not smoke.
