'Tanks Rolling Towards Syrian Protest City'
Activists claim Syrian tanks are approaching the central city of Hama - a day after clashes between government forces and protesters reportedly left more than 60 people dead.
The apparent offensive comes as more than 100,000 people turned out for the funerals of those killed during anti-regime protests on Friday.

Syrian rebels asked Israel for help
Pro-democracy activists and rebels in Syria recently asked Israel, their nation's worst enemy, to come to their aid, according to an Israeli government official.
Ayoub Kara, the Likud minister for development in the Galilee and Negev regions, told a gathering in Beersheva on Saturday that he had been personally approached by the Syrian protestors.
"The Syrian opposition asked for my help because of my connections," said Kara. "They wanted me to go to the [Israeli] government for help, that we would ask the UN, the US and the EU to go against [Syrian dictator Bashar] Assad."

I just don't see that happening. Consider Israel's position; if they help the rebel groups, Assad and Iran and other Arab regimes will find a way to blame Israel for all the uprisings against the dictators in the region. It would be construed as a foreign attack on the regimes, instead of a homegrown uprising.
As it is, Iran's busy scapegoating Israel for all that ails the region.
Still, it is interesting that some of the rebel groups, including those in Libya are contemplating better relations with Israel.

If we allow this to be as far as we reach. Then I will be one of those guilty of allowing that to happen.
And I want my grandchildren to reach way way beyond where we have gone.
This is where I as a catholic would say ' pray for us',
Our better memories of all that have gone beforenus will make that happen.
I guess I believe in Hope more than Faith.

The wind strips off the oils, including the body's natural UV protectant, so you have to cover your SPF lotion with something or make sure you use something with both moisturizer and SPF.

That sucks man... Lonely Boy was a great song.
And for those who may have known Andrew only from the "Golden Girls" theme, he released an album in the mid-70's "What's Wrong With This Picture," the cover of which indeed was a "what's wrong with this picture?" game.
What's Wrong With This Picture?
If you look at the picture, you'll note that the curtains of the closed window are blowing while the curtains of the open window aren't moving at all; the horizon through the two windows are at two different levels; that sort of thing.
There are several websites that actually "solved" the cover, making a list of all the wrong things.
Pretty clever idea, and it probably cost a small fortune to produce.

He's decent, but he hasn't had the protection he needs. Sadly, that's not likely to change. Most likely the lockout will mean that if there is a season the Bears offensive line will still suck, having had no chance to come together.

I wouldn't go that far...the ownership is solid in Chicago and they want to win bad...the cap will go up and smart owners will protect their investment, the reason offensive lineman salaries have spiked of late...find me a left tackle
First the lockout has to end. And it needs to end by August to have any chance of integrating a new lineman into the team.

Yikes! Is the right going anti-nuclear? Take a look at this:
The Federal Aviation Administration is coordinating efforts with the Japanese government to minimize the exposure of travelers coming to the United States.
However, with the current rate of radiation being released and the possibility of more reactor meltdowns the United States may need to set up mass quarantine facilities at local airports.
It is important to now consider the worst case scenario where thousands of Japanese possibly tens of thousands may end up evacuating to American cities.
Quarantine facilities? And not just at LAX and Seatac, but "local" airports. How about FEMA camps for those infested with Japanese nuke cooties? This is pure insane fear-mongering, the kind of thing the far, far left used to own. Damn hippies.

Come to think of it, nuclear power isn't mentioned in the Bible, except possibly the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, so I shouldn't be surprised. One could counter that SUVs and 4X4 crew cabs aren't mentioned either, but those are things the average bidness owner or sales professional could figure out without the help of weird science types who are probably atheists and commies to boot.

The negro MO is always attack via pack, or weaponry that is defacto pack, and usually by surprise attack. When the odds are more even, I have noticed a marked deficiency in black victories. As a student of history, I have made the observation that with the same weaponry, it generally takes 10 blacks to equal 7 whites in battle: Don't want to debate why. In the US, the whites outnumber the blacks overall circa 4-to-1, except for enclaves here and there. When the Whites of any area in the US rise up, they will do so because they will have little choice. [and it just drivels on...]

There is a movie I'd like to recommend to sci-fi / monster-movie / film-school nerds called "MONSTERS". It does in fact have monsters in it, but it's actually a love story, of sorts.
First, the movie is Better Than You Expect.
Second, it's useful to know that it was written, and directed, and photographed by one guy: Gareth Edwards, who also did all the editing and special effects on a laptop.
Third, it's useful to know that the film crew consisted of 7 people, which included the two lead actors. Everything was filmed on-location, often in places they didn't necessarily have permission to film in. For example, there's a disaster scene that was shot in an area of Galveston, TX that had just been savaged by hurricane Ike. All the extras in the film were just regular people who happened to be nearby at the time.
The entire budget of the film was less than $500,000. That kinda sounds like a lot until you remember that the gigantic turd "Splice" cost SIXTY TIMES AS MUCH to make, and "Superbabies 2" cost FORTY TIMES AS MUCH.
And given its constraints, it's really damn good.

Law-abiding minorities (that is, most of them) should really consider arming themselves. Many don't know what their rights actually are in this area.
My (white) security guard friend worked for two years at a local housing complex that was 92% black. Residents asked him all the time what it took to get a license for a gun. They were astonished when he told them how easy it was and that no license was necessary.
He also tells me that his black co-workers report a huge increase in the use of the "N word" by irate drunks and other trouble-makers, especially young whites, during the past couple of years. It is worth noting that a disproportionate percentage of private security guards are black (about 24% according to SEIU).

Rossi 20ga./.22LR combo gun
$129.95 at Academy. This is very handy and easy to use and quite capable of ruining some crazed Klansman's whole day. It even comes with a nifty carrying case and an interchangeable .22 barrel so you can practice without spending a fortune. It is also useful against snakes, rabbits, and the odd deer if you get close enough and use a slug.

When I get asked about a good cheap gun I always point people at S&W Model 10 or 64s. Boat loads of cheap "carried much fired almost never" guns traded in by security and armored car companies of late. Add the revolver's seriously easy manual of arms to that and I"d arm any sane adult with a .38 special.

Been wanting a .17 but haven't decided to spring for it yet. The H&R would be my choice for in that caliber. I have a real affinity for single shots for recreational shooting.
