The Protocols of the Daily Kos

Thu, Apr 5, 2007 at 8:43:35 pm PDT

This one speaks for itself.

Daily Kos: Zionism was and remains a racist ideology.

Perhaps when they talk about progressive socialist they really mean progressive national socialist. I always felt people on the extream left were one step away from Nazis. Just look at Hitler he too was once a communist for a brief period after WWI (even going so far as to attend noted communist Kurt Eisner funeral wearing the red communist arm band).

Canberra funds $2.5m anti-smacking campaign

A $2.5 million tax-payer funded campaign will warn parents not to smack their children.
The guidelines will be released by a child welfare agency supported by the federal government and will be available in 16 languages.

The Australian Childhood Foundation's website advises parents that smacking children teaches them that violence is acceptable later in life.

The website says: "Physical punishment causes pain to stop the behaviour. For example hitting a child with a hand or object," News Limited reports.

It says physical punishment can have an adverse impact on children's emotional development and "teaches children that violence can be an acceptable way to solve problems".

"Physical punishment can undermine a child's sense of love and security," the guidelines say.
"They can often become anxious, fearful or rebellious."

Chief Executive of the Australian Childhood Foundation Dr Joe Tucci said parents should not have to hurt children to teach them a lesson.

"We need to think about whether this is the sort of tool we want to continue to use - just because their parents used it, does that mean we have to? I think the answer is no."

Associate Professor Margaret Sims from Edith Cowan University said the guidelines were a starting point for parents who needed to be re-educated about how to discipline their children.

They took your guns, and they're coming for your kids.

To some degree, the whole country is a country of immigrants, and therefore, there's no sense that we have insiders or outsiders. In some countries [in Europe], you had an influx of people that came in as a colonial legacy and may have always have felt, to some extent, that they were viewed as second-class citizens, and they've tended to impact and be kind of clustered in some areas."Chertoff Apr 5, 2007

I know this is from The Nation but has anyone else heard of what they wrote about going on in the military?

How Specialist Town Lost His Benefits

snip

Eventually the rocket shrapnel was removed from Town's neck and his ears stopped leaking blood. But his hearing never really recovered, and in many ways, neither has his life. A soldier honored twelve times during his seven years in uniform, Town has spent the last three struggling with deafness, memory failure and depression. By September 2006 he and the Army agreed he was no longer combat-ready.

But instead of sending Town to a medical board and discharging him because of his injuries, doctors at Fort Carson, Colorado, did something strange: They claimed Town's wounds were actually caused by a "personality disorder." Town was then booted from the Army and told that under a personality disorder discharge, he would never receive disability or medical benefits.

Town is not alone. A six-month investigation has uncovered multiple cases in which soldiers wounded in Iraq are suspiciously diagnosed as having a personality disorder, then prevented from collecting benefits. The conditions of their discharge have infuriated many in the military community, including the injured soldiers and their families, veterans' rights groups, even military officials required to process these dismissals.

They say the military is purposely misdiagnosing soldiers like Town and that it's doing so for one reason: to cheat them out of a lifetime of disability and medical benefits, thereby saving billions in expenses.

I think this one of those issues that, if true, everyone should be outraged about.

Murder Investigation Leads to Prostitution Network – Whose Profits Supported Al-Qaeda

The investigator for the case of the murder of a German national in Sharja, U.A.E. has revealed the existence of a prostitution network whose profits were used to support al-Qaeda.

The network was headed by an American Muslim, Shahid King Bullis, who confessed to killing the German national and to running the prostitution network.

Investigators have found material including instructions for manufacturing poisons.

Bullis's cellphone was found to contain photos of him in bed with very young girls.

I see that Ben Heine in his piece entitle Massacre has got Mohammed Al Durrah up there, which is, what, a "massacre" of either zero or one Israeli-inflicted casualties, depending on who you talk to.

Even if you grant Ben the most "liberal" definintion of the term massacre, 40% of the space of the graphic is devoted to a face (a little Visine will get the red of that Palestinian flag out of that eye, but I'm not sure what to do about the green part), and he uses big fonts, a 50 year timeline, and categorical errors to fill up what's left.

Ben, Ben, my friend. You're thinking small. Do another massacre poster with a 50 year timeline of Islamist terror, and the size of your art installation with be the rival of one of Christo's works -- on the scale of "The Gates" or when he surrounded Biscayne Bay with massive sheets of pink fabric. Maybe, Ben, you could do something like a colossal canvas draped off the Verrazano Bridge, and instead of one Palestinian weeping, you can sketch the agonized faces of Israelis, Americans, Russians, Filipinos, Australians, Balinese, Argentinians, Moroccans, Spaniards, Englishmen, Ethiopians, Maronite Lebanese, Thais, Indonesians, etc. Put those skills to the test!

I have to give props to Ben in the other graphic for breathing life into the term "Zionazi." I always wondered what one would look like, and now I know.

Rocket man's 'plan to kill'

A FORMER military man accused of helping an army captain steal and supply rocket launchers, last month discussed killing anyone who gave evidence against him, a Sydney court was told last night.

The captain, Shane Malcolm Della-Vedova, 46, and Dean Steven Taylor, 36, a backhoe operator who left the military in 2001, appeared in Central Local Court.

The pair were arrested early yesterday by counter-terrorism police following a five-month investigation into the theft of 10 army rocket launchers – only one of which police have recovered.

/The rockets were sold to a gang of mixed-breed Mormon-Anish wangerers.

Terror drives us to church

THE war being waged by Islamic terrorists across the region and the uncertainty of climate change have led to Australians returning to the church.

In his Easter message to be delivered today, Catholic Archbishop of Sydney George Pell said God often struggled for press coverage.

However, recent reports of attacks by Islamic terrorists had prompted many to turn to the church for guidance or rethink absent or misplaced religious beliefs.

-Al Dura- zero chance an Israeli bullet defined the laws of physics and hit the boy. Chance of stage faked Palestinian blood libel 100% French reporter who made the report refuses to provide his footage.
-Sabra and Shatillah- Christian Lebanese murder Palestinians- Sharon found to no have planned it but morally responsible for not doing more to prevent it. -
Tunis Raid- Israel launches retaliatory raid and shoots up PA terror leaders- the PA never targets Israel's leaders
-Der YAssin- 19 Jew died in this "massacre" in horrid house to house fighting, grenades were used to clear buildings, civilians in the buildings died in the combat; Jews blamed bit Arabs for hiding among civilians in violation of the laws of war.
-Operation wooden leg- Israeli Air Force bombs PLO bases in -Tunis- lawful self defense by a recognized government.
-Jenin- Another massacre that cost the lives of 19 Israeli soldiers- first accused of killing 500 civilians, the number was lowered to 500 and then 55, most of whom were fighters.
-Operation Defensive Shield- After the dastardly Park Hotel attack in which 30+ civilians were murdered in a Passover Religious dinner, the culmination of dozens such attacks, Israel smashed the PAs' terror apparatus in the West Bank, put Arafat under house arrest until his death. Four years later, this operations in conjunction with the defensive wall, have save hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian lives. It has reduced the number of terror bombings in Israel to almost nothing. You have to be a morally twisted person to lament the end of these attacks.
-The Battle of Karameh was a classic of Palestinian Bravery- Israel raided this Jordanian town to stop PL O attacks being orchestrated from it, the Israelis, left when they were driven off by the Jordanian Army; the PLO consider this to somehow be a Palestinian military victory.
T'shal is the Israeli Armed Forces- go team!

A Flying Pig, "if verified"?
Kick out British Muslim convert, says Labor
BRITISH journalist and Muslim convert Yvonne Ridley should not be allowed into Australia if reports that she has praised suicide bombers are verified, Labor says.

Ridley, who was a senior reporter for Britian's Sunday Express, converted to Islam three years after she was captured by the Taliban while on an undercover assignment for the newspaper in 2001.

Her ordeal, in which she was imprisoned and interrogated by the Taliban, made headlines worldwide.

Her own website says she is well-known for her outspoken views and defence of Islam.

Sister Yvonne, as she is known now, also describes radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri as "quite sweet really" and says the Taliban have suffered an unfair press.

Ridley is to be a speaker at the first annual Australian Islamic Conference in Melbourne this weekend.

Opposition immigration spokesman Tony Burke said Ridley had praised the Chechen leader of the Beslan school massacre, Shamil Basayev, as a martyr and urged Muslims in Britain not to co-operate with police.

She is also alleged to have described suicide bombings as "martyrdom operations".

Imam's consider Alhilaly role
CONTROVERSIAL Mufti Sheik Taj Eldeen Alhilaly could be endorsed as the spiritual leader of Australia's Muslim community at a major meeting of imams today.

Up to 70 imams are due to meet today, and potentially again next Sunday, in Lakemba to discuss a range of issues central to the Muslim community.

The meeting's agenda includes the role of the Mufti and consideration of a report from the Lebanese Muslim Association that contains 95 recommendations, including the suggestion clerics should be encouraged to become surf lifesavers and volunteer firefighters to improve the community's image.

While some expect Sheik Alhilaly to win the backing of the majority of the imams, his close friend Keysar Trad said yesterday that speculation was "unhelpful''. He said: "He has always responded to the community's wishes.

"If he was asked to continue as Mufti I would expect he would honour that request, but he is happy to support anyone who has the support of the imams.''

Sheik Alhilaly has been embroiled in controversy over comments that included a comparison of scantily clad women to uncovered meat and the suggestion that Muslims have more right to live in Australia than Anglo-Saxons because their ancestors did not arrive as convicts.

But Mr Trad said his wider work in the Muslim community showed he was a man whose intention was "to serve, not be divisive''.

LMA president Tom Zreika said the meeting would be as critical as the outcome of the State election. He added: "This has the potential to shape the relationship between the Muslim community and the rest of Australia.''

Taqqiya.

OT, but this has to do with some of the news we've been dealing with for the past two weeks. I have personally been embarassed for the UK because of the fact that their military personell gave up without so much as a token resistance.
I think that if it had been American soldiers, there would have been a real shit storm. I don't know about the UK's rules, but here are the DOD's rules for American soldiers.

I

I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

II

I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.

III

If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

IV

If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.

V

When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.

VI

I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

What this guy wants to do is get it out of the public eye as quick as possible, because he doesn't want people to see him and his Leftist buddies for what they really are....anti-semites!

Now I ask you, has Charles ever posted a thread that anyone here has asked him to take down because it was too embarrassing for us to be associated with?

I think this one of those issues that, if true, everyone should be outraged about.

I would like to see a publication other than The Nation look into this, as many of the people that produce The Nation not only don't give a damn about the military, but hate the military and those that join it, and only come out with stories like this in an attempt to smear the Republican Party and/or McChimpy. However, if we can get confirmation that that story is accurate, and not made up garbage (like all the phony "veterans"-who've-seen-the-light the Left comes out with who turn out to be impostors) that the Lefties like to trot out, then those soldiers need to be compensated and anyone involved with the (supposed) Chapter 5-13 scam needs to be tarred and feathered.

British Rules [of Engagement]

Britain's first sea lord, Admiral Sir Alan West, said on March 25 that British rules of engagement are ``very much de- escalatory because we don't want wars starting,'' the British newspaper The Independent reported.

U.S. forces may have more leeway because of a 1987 incident in which an Iraqi fighter jet launched two missiles at the USS Stark as the frigate patrolled Gulf waters. Iraq, at war with Iran at the time, said it was a case of mistaken identity.

As a result, U.S. Naval commanders were given more authority to protect themselves in the Gulf. ``It was emphasized that they do not have to be shot at before responding and that they have an unambiguous responsibility to protect their units and people,'' the Pentagon wrote in its formal report on the Vincennes incident.

The Independent reported March 26 that the second-in-command of a U.S. vessel in the Gulf said that in contrast to the Royal Navy, his sailors would have fired on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard if they'd been seized as the 15 British mariners were.

More Latitude

``I don't want to second-guess the British after the fact, but our rules of engagement allow a little more latitude,'' U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Erik Horner, executive officer of the guided-missile frigate USS Underwood, told the Independent. ``The unique U.S. Navy rules of engagement say we not only have a right to self defense but also an obligation to self defense.''

The top U.S. military official in the region says the U.S. isn't out to pick a fight. ``We have no intention of perpetrating any kind of incidents,'' Admiral William Fallon, commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, said in a March 16 interview. ``We are not interested in a conflict.''

Meanwhile, the seizure of the British sailors by the Revolutionary Guards may lead to the British also reconsidering their rules of engagement.

``My educated guess would be that the original rules of the Royal Navy were to fire at if fired upon,'' Kirk said in an interview. ``My guess is that now the new rules for the British may be that you may use force to prevent your seizure.''

I've come to the conclusion that the people who believe in this tripe have absolutely no grasp of history. Just reading a book does not a scholar make. They believe the first things that they read, then look for more to reinforce that original thesis. There is no critical thinking here at all.

If they did study history, they would see most of the Palestinian problems are of their own making, starting in 1947 when they listened to their Arab neighbors and left their homes in Israel with the promise of their land being returned after the destruction of Israel. That never happened.

The Palestinians are afflicted with the "victim" mentality, and their leaders aren't in any hurry to solve any problems. Instead, they seek to play demagogue. God forbid if any individuals solve their own problems.

I don't think the Palestinian leaders want to destroy Israel - that would mean they would then have to find another scapegoat for their manufactured/ artificially prolonged ills.

If it is 6 C? That is 43 F.

Seriously, we are one of very few countries that is not on the metric system.

IIRC, over 20 years ago, they tried to ease it in...no one wanted it. Ask our Canadian and British posters how half and half they are, after many years. It would actually be easier if we were on metric, as all the products we ship out of the US have to be metric and standard..and it costs a fortune..the weight, temps, etc, in metric, are far more logical, IMHO, as they are based on units of 10.

Miguel, as you can tell by the title of this thread, Jews are some of the most persecuted people on the planet.

One of the ways that we've learned to get through life is to be humorous (that's why there's so many Jewish comedians). I have learned to take Jewish jokes in stride, and most Jews have no problem making jokes about themselves.

I don't think that any of my posts were anti-Mexican, but if you took it that way then I'm truly sorry.

When I was an exchange student in el D.F. in 1954? I walked to school (Escuela Secundaria 13) with my friends, who made me say ' rr con rr cigarro, rr con rr barril, rapido corren los carros, cargados de azucar, al ferrocarril' all the way to school.

I had to learn as no one would admit to speaking a word of English, so that I would learn to speak fluently. Only years later, on one of my trips back, did I learn that one of my friends' Dad was fluent; he had 2 degrees from Columbia University.

I learned by total immersion, as well, but only after three years in high school and one more year in college. I went to Córdoba, Spain, and lived the second semester with three Spaniards who knew no conversational English. One of them knew "hello, good-bye, how are you, happy birthday" and nothing more.

So I learned. And struggled. And learned. And watched TV. And watched "Calle Sésamo" and "Cuatro por tres", a very cerebral quiz show.

After giving myself a very bad sunburn during Semana Santa in Portugal, the doctor who treated me asked how were things in Sevilla.

¿Eh?

He thought Sevilla was my native town. When I told him I wasn't from Spain, he said, --Claro, eres sudamericano--.

As far as I'm concerned, these people are morally bankrupt and personally pathetic. When the day comes that we are required to unite, I wish for them to take the other side and will treat them as such. I expect the same from them. I neither want their help nor require their help, and will consider them the enemy just as I will CAIR, Nancy Pelosi, and Dick Durbin. I consider them not confused but evil.

I've come to the conclusion that the people who believe in this tripe have absolutely no grasp of history. Just reading a book does not a scholar make. They believe the first things that they read, then look for more to reinforce that original thesis. There is no critical thinking here at all.

What I find bizarre is that Israel should be supported 100% by the lefties. Israel is a reclamation of land by people who have a historical claim to the area, it started with indelibly socialist agricultural settlements, had a U.N. mandate for its founding, and its people engaged in tooth and nail grassroots warfare against both Colonialist and Fascist-allied powers to take root and survive. In light of the Holocaust, moreover, in its earliest stages it can be seen as a refugee resettlement project.

That's what, five items on the Leftist Legitimacy Checklist? And that doesn't touch on Israel's "multiculturalism", i.e. accepting scads of Jews from all walks of life and all parts of the planet - even black jews - while trying to maintain good relations with the Arabs... Arabs who moved to Israel to find jobs in the first place, because the Zionists made an otherwise barren patch of Nothing into a successful, prosperous country.

So what's the problem?

Arabs are theoretically browner, so immediately the Leftoverse deems them Sinless. And Jews can't ever do anything good because... like... they're Jews, man.

It really does come down to Judenhass. Every. Single. Time.

Veteran of WWII's 'Great Escape' dies

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Ian Tapson, one of the last survivors of a team of World War II soldiers who planned and executed a breakout from a German POW camp later immortalized in the film "The Great Escape," has died. He was 84.

Tapson died at Settler's Park, a retirement complex in the coastal town of Port Alfred on March 31, said Wally Vandermeulen, chairman of the Port Alfred branch of the South Africa Air Force Association.

The escape was immortalized in Paul Brickhill's book "The Great Escape" and in the movie of the same title, starring Steve McQueen, James Garner and Richard Attenborough.

Tapson was a lieutenant in the South African Air Force flying Kittyhawk fighter-bombers when his plane was crippled by anti-aircraft fire over Tunisia and he was forced to crash-land. He was captured and was sent to Stalag III prisoner of war camp at Sagan, Silesia, near the Polish border.

South African born-Roger Bushell, a squadron leader, decided to organize a mass escape by tunneling to a point outside the perimeter fence.

The team members were all volunteers, and 20-year-old Tapson was one of them. His job was to scrounge for wood to shore up the tunnels. "He stole planks off the beds," Vandermeulen said.

Before an alarm was raised, 76 men managed to escape, but only three reached safety. Fifty of those recaptured were shot in a field by the Gestapo.

There was an Holocaust, allies came together to fight evil, POW's resisted and/or died with honor at the hands of evil men... It was a different time.

I have so many memories, and still have the sweater with the emblem on the sleeve with the school name, and am in touch with 5 friends, one of whom married an American, and lives in Houston. We lived mostly in La Colonia Justo Sierra. It was all middle class, and fairly new, I think.

I agree re total immersion...it is like the Ulpan program in Israel, for new citizens. I had taken a year of Spanish in middle school, taught by a teacher with a Boston accent, and in Castilian, no less..we really were not taught to speak Spanish, and using Castilian? Ridiculous. In essence I had to start from scratch when I went to Mexico, and the letter of acceptance, and the one from the family I would live with? They had to be translated for me. :)

I still speak enough Spanish to talk to people and to read. It is such a beautiful language.

I am so angry re kos that I am puprosely staying off the subject, as what I would like to post would embarrass Charles and LGF. I have no doubt that all the Dem. organizations support that Jew-hating POS.

The problem is, there are so many more variants that could be specific to blog vs. message boards. All those that Reed made up really assume everyone is registered in the same forum.

Further thought: I just realized that Hitler's hatred and Leftist hatred of Israel has the same central factor. It's The Religion, stupid.

Leftists hate religion. They hate the idea that there might be somebody watching, that there really is a cosmic scoreboard, and that good and evil and absolute standards are real. So, naturally, the idea of anybody claiming territory based on religious tradition is going to send them raving and screaming into lunar orbit (Unless of course those claims are coming from sufficiently brown people). I'm just thinking of how many times I've heard people sneer about "Jews taking Arab land because of what some stupid 2000 year old book says". Of course, this ignores the root causes of Zionism. Nobody wants to hear how Herzl was inspired to Zionism by French crowds shouting "Death to the Jews"...

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

#225 simonml:

In Imperial, a "pound" is both the mass and the gravitational force exerted by that mass at sea level.

In metric, a "kilogram" refers only to the mass; the gravitational force exerted by that mass is measured in "newtons," as is any force. The scale determines the "newtons", and deduces the "kilograms" from that.

Unless I'm wrong. And I'm never wrong.

/right?

I think I understand the difference between weight (a measure of force) and mass. I'm just not sure how the metric system measures mass while our regular old system measures weight. I was always taught this as a major difference. It never made sense because both make use of a scale. therefore, aren't both measuring weight?

I used to debate this point physics instructor when he scolded me in lab for calling "mass" weights on the scale.

However, in a weightless environment like space, you would be weightless but you could still measure a mass. The best example I can think of would be inertia in space. In space, if the shuttle hits a floating wrench, it will still knock a hole thru the wing.

But if you ask me personally, it's pretty esoteric.

WHAT GOES ON IN THEIR MINDS

Zionism is a racist ideology.

Zionism is dedicated to giving a homeland to the Jews.

That's racist.

Of course it doesn't follow that Palestinian Nationalism is racist.

And of course it doesn't matter that Israel is a mixed race society where all people are given equal rights and that this principle is enshrined in Israel's very constitution.

It also doesn't matter that Muslim Palestinians are brutalizing Christian Palestinians (when they aren't being the among the biggest, most violent antisemites, misogynists and homophobes on Planet Earth).

Neither does it matter that all the surrounding countries threw out all their Jews.

No - all that's important is to get across the message that the eeeeeeevil joooos are eeeeevil racists

fuck - we hate the jews so much, we'll even use an image of Hitler (the man that murdered 6 million of them) just to rub our hatred in their faces.

We'd be more honest about our hatred of the Jews...but racism is "wrong"

By the way, we already use the metric system to a great degree in America. You can't work in the medical field, and get away from the metric system.

I wish we would have adopted it years ago. It's much better now that I've used it to a great degree. Anything in a scale of base 10 is far superior for making simple calculation.

In fact, when calculating things like acceleration, I can hardly use yards and feet when helping my daughter in high school. But it took me awhile to get there.

259 snowtravel  Thu, Apr 5, 2007 11:53:07pm

In the mid-1800s, Moses Hess—one of the "young Hegelians," if I recall my history correctly—wrote "Rome and Jerusalem," which argued the existence of a sort of racial Judaism. Long before modern Zionism emerged, he advocated the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine to preserve Judaism for the good of all mankind. (Hess was German, proving once again that history is nothing if not ironic.)

The modern Zionists, who defined Jews in many ways but never by “race”, largely ignored Hess, as did his contemporaries. (When I read Hess in college, he was regarded as a "precursor" of Zionism, and little more than a footnote at that.) Is it not inconvenient for the racial argument that Zionists themselves eschewed the one writer who espoused the putative Jewish race?

Tellingly (and again inconveniently for the racial theory) practically anyone can convert to Judaism: hence the wide range of Jewish colors shapes and sizes in the Diaspora as well as in Israel.

As for Kos, I didn't join until I saw the umpteenth LGF thread about them, so I went over to see what the hubub was about. I've posted a handful of diaries (mostly about Bush and Iraq). Don't post much. Frankly, I think it's just too crowded in there, and the layout is kinda hard to get used to.

These days, I mostly hang out here, post on a few random sites, or work on my blog. I use the same handle whenever I post on a blog or a message board.

I would say "Cold War I" ended November 9th, 1989 (the fall of the Berlin wall)

and "Cold War II" began September 11, 2001.

It's the same players with the addition of the Islamofascists who the commies see as useful allies in their quest to bring down the west.

And when the most hated figure in history is paired, absent of any subtlety or satire, with a hateful characature of the recipients of that tyrant's ghastly treatment, the beholder may feel themselves burning with contempt for the ethos that produced it, or sickened, even uneasy, as if they might somehow be implicated by it, personally.

302 Dayenu  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 1:10:33am

Ah, this talk of mass vs. weight conversions reminds me of last year's Physics class. Let me try to explain it.

MASS and WEIGHT are two different units. Here's how:

Mass: The amount of space an object takes up.

Weight: The strength of gravity, as it pulls that object.

For example, let's take one famous method of measuring mass. No, not with a scale. By displacement. You fill a bathtub with water, stick a rock in, and notice how the water level rises, due to the mass of the rock displacing the water.

This space is constant, whether the rock is on Earth, on Mars, in empty space, on the Enterprise Holodeck, et cetera.

Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity pulling on that rock. So if it ways 50 pounds on Earth, it might be weightless in the depths of space (no gravity) weight 4 pounds on the Moon (less gravity) and weigh 1,000 pounds on Jupiter (more gravity).

In the metric system, mass is measured by kilograms (or grams) and weight is measured by Newtons (all Force is measured with Newtons in the metric system... this is the Force of Gravity)

In the English system, WEIGHT is measured with pounds, and FORCE is measured with a unit known as "Slugs." Mass is, I suppose, cubic yards....

Interestingly enough, the gravitational factor of Earth is generally given as the number... err... one, so for our day to day purposes, mass and weight are the same. Unless you're an astronaut, a mountain climber, or a deep sea diver. If you're a regular person, mass and weight will operate pretty much the same as you buy a cup of sugar, so who the hell cares except for annoying scientists.

Oh, and by the way, Anti-Semitism sucks, and so does Kos.

Ugh.
MASS is a property of MATTER.
Kilograms measure mass.
GRAVITY is a FORCE.
For Americans, gravity is measured in "gees", which is not very helpful.
WEIGHT is MASS times GRAVITY.
Pounds measure weight, which on at the surface of Earth is defined the same as the mass. But under different gravity conditions, the weight changes while the mass remains the same.

A thirty kilogram child on your shoulders with you standing here on earth would feel the exact same as a fifteen kilogram child on your shoulders if you stood somewhere with twice the gravity. A heavy planet that pulls you twice as hard, say.

By the way, a thirty kilogram child weighs 66 pounds here on the surface of Earth. But the child only weighs 11 pounds standing on the moon, and he is STILL THIRTY KILOGRAMS. That's right, standing on the moon, gravity pulls you down one-sixth as powerfully as it does if you stand on Earth.

And that is why moonbats treat weighty subjects so lightly.

Salem,

I gather that's why there is so much pressure to stop teaching about the Holocaust in school. Kids will be wearing Hitler on their t-shirt soon.

Believe it or not, there are quite a few people involved in Holocaust education who think all those megamillions spent over the last 30+ years were wasted. We would have been better off buying guns.

I'm inclined to agree with them.

Every so often you hear of yet another invention or major breakthrough in medicine or technology that comes out of Israel, all for the "Betterment of Mankind". HA! Screw Mankind; not worth the trouble. They would have been way better off putting all that brain power to work coming up with an alternative fuel.

The author of that diary, Ben Heine is a real piece of work. "Born in Abidjan, Ivory coast, June 12, 1983, Ben Heine produces cartoons about political issues. He draws as a freelance for regional papers and satirical publications. He also publishes his cartoons on several Websites dedicated to the cartoons." Resides in Belgium.

He seems to be Jewish that hates Jews? There is a name for them? His website is a bizarre mix of Israel hating, America hating, well.....crap , he seems to hate most everything except Palestinians, and such.

RAMADI, Iraq (Reuters) - At least 15 people were killed in a truck bomb attack which exploded and released chlorine gas into the air in the Iraqi city of Ramadi on Friday, police said.

Police Colonel Tareq al-Dulaimi from Ramadi said the bomb, which targeted a police patrol, wounded at least 30 people.

There has been a spate of chlorine truck bomb attacks in recent months, mainly in western Anbar province. Ramadi is the capital of Anbar, stronghold of the Sunni Arab insurgency and a haven for al Qaeda.

Former spy shadows Putin for throne

SARANSK, Russia (Reuters) - Sergei Ivanov walks and talks like a man who wants to be the next president of Russia, except for one thing: he has not said he is running for the job.

On a trip to a central Russian province that had all the hallmarks of a campaign trip, he toured factories, chatted with townsfolk and squeezed the hand of a four-year-old girl.

Then came the awkward moment. "We hope to see you as president," one resident shouted out.

Ivanov, a suave former KGB spy, tensed for just a fraction of a second, blinked and then resumed his conversation about mortgages and child benefit.

It is still anybody's guess who will succeed President Vladimir Putin when his second and final term ends next year. His potential heirs are careful not to show any naked ambition until Putin himself has expressed a preference.

What is clear, though, is that the candidate who gets the blessing of the hugely popular Putin is highly likely to stroll through the 2008 presidential election.

And Ivanov, along with his fellow First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, is a front-runner to be that person.

Vlad sits on a throne? Golly!

The Jews are a tribe, or a nation, or an ethnicity or, more controversially, a "race".

Judaism is a religion.

Jewish is an adjective that related to both the Jews and the religion of Judaism.

Some Jews don't not practice any religion but are still Jewish.

Some Jews practice other religions and are still Jewish.

DNA markers and facial characteristics imply that Jews are a race. However you can be any race and still become Jewish if you convert your religion to Judaism.

All of which makes me conclude that we Jews are a tribe. Or more accurately a collection of tribes.

The only similar situation I can think of is the Arabs. Who have a culture, a national identity, a predominant religion, but can be different races & religions or seen as one race, or tribe or collection of tribes.

365 littleoldlady  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 3:26:54am
I never knew that "Jewish" was a race...I thought it was a religion?

Not a race. The Jews are "a people".

A nation from the womb of a nation. On the 15th of Nissan in the year 2448 from creation (1313 bce), a new entity, the People of Israel, was born, delivered by G-d "from slavery into freedom, from darkness into a great light, from bondage into redemption."

As work on Alberta's oil sands booms, the slide in natural gas prices has meant a retreat in the face of high costs

Canada has 179 billion barrels of proven oil reserves — second only to Saudi Arabia. Of those reserves, 97 percent are attributed to the sands' tarlike oil that must be heated or mixed with other hydrocarbons to flow, according to Scottish energy consulting firm Wood Mackenzie.
At least two oil-service companies with exposure in

Canada are feeling the squeeze. Houston-based Halliburton Co. and Nabors Industries have each warned investors that they expect first-quarter results to fall short of analyst expectations in part because of fewer rigs operating in Canada.
Precision Drilling Trust, Canada's largst oil-field-services company, said in its annual report released late last month that declining demand in 2007 left too many drilling rigs. A severe or persistent decline in demand "may result in opportunities for industry consolidation," the company said.
Another factor in the pullback is the Canadian government's recent abrogation of investment trusts, Herbert said.

Some of Kos's best freinds are Jewish.
(Yeah, right. )

Off topic: I rarely agree with E.J. Dionne but he has a good Easter column:
Why the neo atheists are wrong

What makes them new is the moment in history in which they are rejoining the old arguments: an era of religiously motivated Islamic suicide bombers. The problem with the neo-atheists is that they seem as dogmatic as the dogmatists they condemn.

He quotes one neo atheist:

Religious moderates are themselves the bearers of a terrible dogma: they imagine that the path to peace will be paved once each one of us has learned to respect the unjustified beliefs of others...I hope to show that the very ideal of religious tolerance -- born of the notion that every human being should be free to believe whatever he wants about God -- is one of the principal forces driving us toward the abyss. We have been slow to recognize the degree to which religious faith perpetuates man's inhumanity to man.

Yehudah Tzvi Windweher arrived at Ellis Island and asked his friend "What would be a good American name for me? I want it to be Jewish, but more American." His friend replied "Sam Cohen, that's a good American Jewish name."

Yehudah Tzvi began his long walk up a massive flight of steps leading to the immigration office. With each step he said "Sam Cohen, Sam Cohen", in an earnest effort to learn his new name. When he finished carrying his luggage to the top of the flight, he was winded and tired. A large immigration officer caugh Yehuda Tzvi off guard when he said "NAME?" in a booming voice.

A flustered Yehudah Tzvi replied "shoyn fargesin" ("I already forgot" in Yiddish).

In 1989, I delivered a speech in favor of gun control to an audience of students at the University of North Texas. This was mostly an attack on various fallacies in NRA and other pro-gun propaganda, some which I still believe really were fallacious. The presentation was very well received and received a standing ovation.

In the years since, I have moved wholly to the other side.

The role of guns in ordinary civil crime is a small consideration in comparison to their potential for ensuring our continued existence as a free society. The vicious and depraved totalitarian left is increasingly aligned with a sub-culture of power seekers whose drive to control every aspect of society is rooted in a profoundly emotional and deeply corrupt need for control and which will therefore not be stopped except by force.

They control the media, they control the education system, they control the professional bureaucracy, they increasingly control corporate boardrooms in a hellish alliance of convenience.

They cannot, however, repeal the laws of nature or the principles of logic. Nor can they re-write history or change its verdicts, however much they may try. Ultimately, they will fail because their philosophy is based on the forcible subjugation of others, and that cannot happen because they do not have the guns.

I know people, like my friend Jerry the Survivalist, who believe that the Second is the most important of all the Constitutional Amendments. I used to think these people were nuts. I was wrong. They were wise, because nature, logic, and history all dictate that freedom is ultimately based on the threat of force against those evil usurpers for whom force is the only deterrent.

If you have a gun, don't give it up. If you don't have a gun, get one and learn to use it.

Reaffirmation of the Arab peace initiative by the Riyadh summit meeting
(First summary and appraisal)

Overview


1. On March 28-29 an Arab summit meeting was held in Riyadh , the capital of Saudi Arabia . It was overshadowed by the escalation of the regional struggle between the radical Iranian-Syrian axis and the pragmatic, pro-Western states (chiefly Saudi Arabia , Egypt and Jordan ) and by the internal tensions in the various arenas of conflict (chiefly Iraq , the Palestinian arena and Lebanon ). The decisions reached by the participants stressed the need for Arab unity and for joint Arab action to deal with both the internal and external challenges facing the Arab world.

2. One of the topics dealt with was the reaffirmation and renewed marketing of the Arab initiative, which was ratified at the Arab summit meeting in Beirut in March 2002. The objective was to send a message of renewed Arab unity, to ease the struggle against the Iranian threat (although the decisions reached avoided directly mentioning Iran as a source of threat) 1 and to establish Saudi Arabia 's status as the leader of the Arab world.

3. The objective of this Bulletin is to examine the Arab peace initiative and other topics dealt with by the Riyadh summit meeting relating to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict (other decisions reached by the meeting are not included here).

Princeton's school paper


Anti-Semitic sketch found in Bloomberg

Public Safety is investigating an incident in which a possibly anti-Semitic drawing was found on a blackboard in a study room on the third floor of Bloomberg Hall on Saturday night.

Lisa Glukhovsky '08 entered the study room around 7:40 p.m. and saw the white chalk drawing on the blackboard. It depicted a building labeled "Jewish library," stick figures labeled "little Jews" and two large missiles aimed at the building with arrows pointing downward. A swastika was also drawn on the top right corner of the blackboard.

Old Church Becomes Mosque in Uneasy Britain


CLITHEROE, England — On a chilly night this winter, this pristine town in some of Britain’s most untouched countryside voted to allow a former Christian church to become a mosque.

The narrow vote by the municipal authorities marked the end of a bitter struggle by the tiny Muslim population to establish a place of worship, one that will put a mosque in an imposing stone Methodist church that had been used as a factory since its congregation dwindled away 40 years ago.

The battle underscored Britain’s unease with its Muslim minority, and particularly the infiltration of terrorist cells among the faithful, whose devotion has challenged an increasingly secular Britain’s sense of itself.

Britain may continue to regard itself as a Christian nation. But practicing Muslims are likely to outnumber church-attending Christians in several decades, according to a recent survey by Christian Research, a group that specializes in documenting the status of Christianity in Britain.

A group’s mean intelligence is important in explaining outcomes such as mean educational attainment or mean income. The key indicator for predicting exceptional accomplishment (like winning a Nobel Prize) is the incidence of exceptional intelligence. Consider an IQ score of 140 or higher, denoting the level of intelligence that can permit people to excel in fields like theoretical physics and pure mathematics. If the mean Jewish IQ is 110 and the standard deviation is 15, then the proportion of Jews with IQ’s of 140 or higher is somewhere around six times the proportion of everyone else.

The imbalance continues to increase for still higher IQ’s. New York City’s public-school system used to administer a pencil-and-paper IQ test to its entire school population. In 1954, a psychologist used those test results to identify all 28 children in the New York public-school system with measured IQ’s of 170 or higher. Of those 28, 24 were Jews.

The network was headed by an American Muslim, Shahid King Bullis, who confessed to killing the German national and to running the prostitution network.

Investigators have found material including instructions for manufacturing poisons.

Bullis's cellphone was found to contain photos of him in bed with very young girls.

Such boarding operations have been suspended until a review of the operation has been completed, said Adm. Jonathon Band, head of the Royal Navy. ''We certainly wouldn't want this to happen again,'' he said. (AP)

Madame Traitor: An Arab-American’s Perspective on Pelosi in Damascus
By Emilio Karim Dabul


Nancy Pelosi is to world diplomacy what Michael Jordan was to baseball: completely forgettable and unnecessary. But unlike Michael’s slightly amusing foray into the Babe’s world, there’s nothing funny about Pelosi in Damascus. The terrorists and their supporters, who are always looking for weak links and signs that the US does not have the will or backbone to win the war we’re fighting with them, just found a great ally in Madame Speaker.
Among the older members of my extended Syrian family, there was a general attitude that kindness equaled weakness. It wasn’t that they didn’t believe in charity, but that it must be parceled out carefully, because those of ill intent can be quick to take advantage of those they perceive to be gullible and soft. This is what Nancy Pelosi either doesn’t understand, or doesn’t care about: she’s being used by the very people who want to destroy us in another round of window dressing, subterfuge, and deceit. I suspect that Pelosi knows this, but is more intent on trying to undermine the President than in looking at how she could best support national security.
Let’s look at the record. Syria has admitted that it has financially supported Hezbollah and Hamas, but says that it doesn’t supply them with arms. What’s the difference? What do you think these groups buy with the money? How many Israeli and Lebanese men, women and children have been slaughtered because of Syrian backing of these groups? And who do you think Syria supports across the border in Iraq: our troops or the terrorists some blithely refer to as “insurgents”? Without the direct involvement of Syria and Iran, the current terrorism movement in Iraq would have considerably less groundswell.

In a moral philosophy class my freshman year, I argued the neccessity of privately owned firearms to maintain a free society. Using the USSC ruling that they police are basically there to enforce the law, not protect the public, I continued that its the right of all citizens to defend themselves. Also touched on the scenes of the Budapest uprising of 56' and Prauge 68' of citizens throwing rocks and bottles at soviet armor. Having been totally disarmed earlier by the state, its all they had and they were crushed and remained under the boot of tyranist empire. Beware of a govt. that claims it knows best and will protect you as their hidden goal is to enslave you.

Needless to say, my agruement didn't go down well with the class, but I did get approached later and was thanked by a student who said he, "didn't think about those points before."

The real reason why the Iranians kidnapped the British sailors and why they released them:

The acquisition of a nuclear arsenal is the ayatollahs' dream, and everything they do - whether it is grandstanding over the detention of a handful of British Servicemen or prevaricating with UN nuclear inspectors - is aimed at achieving this ambition. With yet another UN deadline approaching for the Iranians to cease uranium enrichment at Natanz or face tougher sanctions, the issue of the British captives provided Ahmadinejad with the perfect platform to demonstrate to an international audience the benefits to be gained from treating Teheran with respect, not threats.

Excellent article.

Ok, my inner geek is going to make itself known here and now.

As soon as I saw that disgusting picture, I recognized the demonic Jewish thing on the Hitler/Jewish person's hand.

It's a ripoff of Kel'Thuzad from World of Warcraft. He's an Archlich of the Burning Legion. In other words, he's really really evil bad guy and one of the most difficult entities to take down in the game.

Note the two large upper canines with four minor teeth between them. Also, note the six smaller teeth on the lower jaw as well as the shape and angle of the eyes and shape of the nose.

So, whatever person did this is not only an anti-semite, they're also not very creative. A larger version of the pic is here for better comparison.

The Pelosization of U.S. foreign policy would also encourage the "one-state" camp with regard to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Most regional powers support a two-state solution in the context of the Saudi Peace Proposals - but the two-state option is based on the assumption that America remains an active element in its support, rather than a mediator hedging its bets.

Bush's Bluster on Iran Was Cover for Direct Talks


Gareth Porter, Electronic Iraq

6 April 2007

WASHINGTON (IPS) - When the George W. Bush administration launched a high-profile campaign in January and February accusing Iran of exporting armor-piercing bombs to Shiite militias in Iraq, seizing Iranian officials in Iraq, threatening cross-border raids against Iran and sending a second carrier battle group into the Gulf, it seemed that it was entering a much more aggressive phase of Middle East policy.

A few weeks later, however, it is apparent that the administration's earlier bluster was primarily for domestic political purposes -- to reduce the sense that the administration had lost control over Iraq and the Middle East and to provide political cover for a move to open direct talks with Iran.

The Bush administration sought such direct talks with Iran because its need for Iranian cooperation to help resolve the Sunni-Shiite civil war in Iraq had become increasingly acute.

The shift toward talking with Iran began in late February, when the Bush administration reversed its earlier position of refusing to participate in any talks with Iran until it agreed to suspend its uranium enrichment program. It agreed to participate in a regional security conference organized by the Iraqi government in which Iran would also participate.

After that decision was announced, an unnamed "senior administration official" told the New York Times that the State Department was pushing for "ways to talk to Iran and Syria" but that the administration "did not want to appear to be talking to either country from a position of weakness".

Greets and saluts from the chilly and cold NYC metro area. I see that the diplomats have released yet another report on global warming after they negotiated the wording on the report.

How exactly is a supposedly scientific report negotiated? Do they parse the definitions? The conclusions? Massage the data so that it fits the preconceived notions of what they set out to accomplish in the first place? You don't think that the authors wont try to defend this saying that the science is grounded in fact, but when you start having diplomats negotiate the talking points, where exactly is the science here?

You've got computer models, which are inaccurate at best and misleading at worst. You've got a limited data set that would be akin to trying to measure height of a person from a small fraction of a person's single hair. A couple hundred years is not sufficient to draw conclusions about much of anything given that the planet has been around for more than a couple billion years. We know there were periods when the earth was a whole lot warmer than it was now, and yet there were periods following that that were much colder. We are only beginning to get a handle on this.

And yet, these diplomats and fearmongers think that we should trust this report when you can hardly trust the weatherman to make a completely accurate forecast for next week? Too many variables they say. Predicting weather is as much an art as a science because there are guesses involved and the models can't get things 100% right.

Yet, we're supposed to believe that the current batch of long range models will? /rant off

Alter 14 centuries without a place of worship, construction of first Catholic Church in Qatar underway

Doha, Apr 2, 2007 / 10:54 am (CNA).- After fourteen centuries without a place of worship, the Catholic Church in Qatar, a majority Muslim country, will soon have its first parish in the capital of Doha, which will be dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary.

Catholics in Qatar, many of whom are migrants who have come to the country seeking work, have been pooling their donations for the church’s construction.

Bishop Paul Hinder, Apostolic Vicar of Arabia and ordinary for the faithful in Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia, is looking after the development of the project.

* * *

Bishop Hinder also explained that many immigrant Christians he serves practice their faith more during their time in the region than they do in their own countries. Most immigrants are from the Philippines, Lebanon and India, he said.

(IsraelNN.com) A Jewish center in the Canadian city of Montreal was targeted in a bomb attack, and a synagogue in San Francisco, California was defaced with swastikas during the first days of the Passover festival.

The bomb detonated at Montreal’s Ben Weider Jewish Community Center failed to cause any injuries or deaths, though workers were present at the time of the explosion. Damage was caused to the building.

Montreal police downplayed the incident, emphasizing that the bomb was “homemade” and saying they have not yet determined whether it was a hate crime.

For so many years we were bombarded with the same excuse for your failure to capture the imagination of the American people and therefore win elections, well guess what? Your message is getting out now. You are being exposed for the bigoted, racist, hate filled little gnomes that your are. We have witnessed you denigrate all African Americans who profess to be Republican, Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Michael Steele, Lynn Swann, and on and on. You take swipes at the gay children of Republicans like the Cheneys', you hold the Jews responsible for the death of destruction in their country and yet fail to expalin how is it that the Jewish people live in every other country on this planet with none of bombing and shootings. You root for the death of our service members while in one breath trying to paint an image of some poor, uneducated, misguided "kid" who joins because therre are no other options in life but in the next breath condemn and wish to prosecute them for actions that are slightly below sainthood but still leagues above anything you would be capable of doing. You hold protest where you assault cops and others but stand by with lawyers on speed dial should anybody challenge you. You listen only to those who promote your agenda and attempt to squelch those with a differing opinion or set of proof.
So to the Dems pandering to our enemies and the libs provideing cover, don't worry. You have passed over the Rubicon now and indeed your message is getting out. And it is a message which repulses most clear thinking peoples of the world and causes great harm to those whom you profess to be protecting.

Still looking, BTW, like it is too close to call as far as weather anyplace in Texas South of the Red River gets sleet, freezing rain or snow Easter weekend. Heavier precip is further South, away from the source of the coldest air. I suspect anyplace that might get ice or snow would be South of the Metroplex and North of Temple, out Westward into the Hill Country, and mainly after dark, as that April sun, even with a cloud cover, is a real buzz-kill for winter weather in Trxas.


If Waco and Dallas can both stay below 40ºF (4.4ºC) either day this weekend, more likely Sunday, for daytime highs, they will break all time records for coldest high temps for the entire Month of April. Some daily records for night time lows may also be broken, but the NWS office didn't even bother with listing the all time April cold temp, so I assume they don't think that is in any danger.


Probably not a real driving hazard anywhere, except maybe very late night and early morning when untreated bridges and overpasses may ice up. Heads up to early church goings on their way to sunrise services to celebrate the paschal feast.


GFS suggests a little light snow possible overnight in the Mid-Atlantic, maybe even DC, but accumulations will be light, and again, in April, even with clouds, snow has to come down hard during daylight hours to stick, and if it does stick overnight, it doesn't last long unless temps are well below freezing when the sun comes up.


6Z NAM is a little more optimistic, although DCA/IAD mostly miss out, parts of Northern Virginia over to Delaware and Maryland (maybe even to the beaches!) could wake up to a 4 inch (10 cm) snow treat tomorrow morning, which would be almost completely gone by Easter, except well shaded locations.

Happy Easter and Good Friday to all those who celebrate the holidays. Every year there is a story about this, and I know that there are some in the Philippines who actually recreate the crucifixion by being nailed to a cross in public, but it doesn't make it any less jarring than watching the annual Shi'a Ashura bloodlettings.

Of course a key difference is that the Roman Catholic church disapproves of the cruicifixions while the Ashura bloodlettings are pretty much mandated.

Daily Kos shows up in a roundup od passover antisemitism....
N. American Jewish Sites Bombed and Vandalized Over Passover


The Daily Kos blog, one of the most popular American political websites, is featuring anti-Semitic graphic content since Thursday. The Daily Kos reportedly receives 600,000 visits a day, and between 14 million and 24 million visits per month. It is often used by politicians – including Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and many others – for dissemination of their materials.


Heh.

"See my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Just as there were many who were apalled at him - his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness -
so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him.
For what they were not told, they will see,
and what they have not heard, they will understand"

Lawhawk- San Pedro Cutud is a neighborhood in the city of San Fernando. I wonder if that is the same San Fernando where the Bata'an prisoners were marched too during the infamous death march in WW2.

If it is, I think it is Pampanga province, not to far from the old Clark AFB and Angeles City.

That Francis Fukuyama has declared Europe to be the model for the future...

[Link: commentisfree.guardian.co.uk...]

I believe that the European Union more accurately reflects what the world will look like at the end of history than the contemporary United States. The EU's attempt to transcend sovereignty and traditional power politics by establishing a transnational rule of law is much more in line with a "post-historical" world than the Americans' continuing belief in God, national sovereignty, and their military.

Yeah r-i-g-h-t. The European Model of high taxes, death bed demographics, and delusional diplomacy is the "Dead End of History". I read Fukuyama's The End of History and The Last Man in the mid 90's. I thought his thesis, the grandiose declaration that political and economic liberalism had "triumphed", was a wrong back then.

"Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.
Know and understand this: From the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens', and sixty-two 'sevens'. ... After the sixty-two 'sevens', the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing."

Dan 9:25-26

In terms of 'years' or 'weeks of years=sevens', from the time of the authorization to rebuild Jerusalem if you were to add up the 7 weeks + the 62 weeks of years, you would arrive at the EXACT DAY of the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday).

Note there are still 7 weeks of years left (7yrs) to complete the seventy. There are some who believe we have already entered the 70th week of Daniel.

Fortunately for all concerned, as it has been a long day, and I didn't have a chance to stop home first for a shower or fresh socks, I was not chosen for the foot washing ritual, where 12 parishoners have their feet washed by the priest in a recreation of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples at the last supper.

BTW, unlike the other 3 Gospels, John's doesn't have the Communion rital described during the Last Supper, although the writer was clearly aware of the ritual in John Chapter Six.

John 13


1 2 3 Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.

The devil had already induced 4 Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper,
fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist.

5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.

He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Master, are you going to wash my feet?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later."

Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me."

Simon Peter said to him, "Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well."

Jesus said to him, "Whoever has bathed 6 has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all."

For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, "Not all of you are clean."

So when he had washed their feet (and) put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, "Do you realize what I have done for you?

You call me 'teacher' and 'master,' and rightly so, for indeed I am.

If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.

I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.

re: release of Gilad Shalit. I don't buy it. Not until he's actually released and back in Israeli hands. Abu Mazen is trying to capitalize on the Britain 15 released by Iran, but there has been no movement on the issue of Shalit's release in months.

Abu Mazen would claim the release is near, and nothing happens. The terrorists say that they will release him if Israel releases Palestinians held in Israeli jails, and that's a nonstarter (at least it has been since June 2005).

I don't think anything has changed, though if Iran is signalling a change in strategy, then something may be up.

RE: communion

Mechilzedek breaks bread and drinks wine when he comes to Abraham as a Priest in the name of the Most High GOD.


Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying,
"Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth.

And blessed be God Most High,
who delivered your enemies into your hand."



Communion is as old as Abraham and very very Jewish.
Jesus was acutely aware of this as High Priest of the Order of Mechilzedek

-Unemployment rate is 50% greater than Israel's
-Infant mortality rate is 12 times as high as Israel's
-HIV rate is 70 times as high as Israel's
-Literacy rate for women is less than half of Israel's
-Life expectancy is 31 years shorter than Israel's
-Receives four times as much economic aid from France as Israel does from the USA (most of which probably ends up in the presiden't swiss bank account)

Krauthammer~
Britain's Humiliation -- and Europe's

...the salient point is that American action is what got this unstuck.

Where then was the European Union? These 15 hostages, after all, are not just British citizens but, under the laws of Europe, citizens of Europe. Yet the European Union lifted not a finger on their behalf.

Europeans talk all the time about their preference for "soft power" over the brute military force those Neanderthal Americans resort to all the time. What was the soft power available here? Iran's shaky economy is highly dependent on European credits, trade and technology. Britain asked the European Union to threaten to freeze exports, $18 billion a year of commerce. Iran would have lost its No. 1 trading partner. The European Union refused.

Why was nothing done? The reason is simple. Europe functions quite well as a free-trade zone, but as a political entity it is a farce. It remains a collection of sovereign countries with divergent interests. A freeze of economic relations with Europe would have shaken the Iranian economy to the core. "The Dutch," reported the Times of London, "said it was important not to risk a breakdown in dialogue." So much for European solidarity.

Like other vaunted transnational institutions, the European Union is useless as a player in the international arena. Not because its members are venal but because they are sovereign. Their interests are simply not identical. ...


The comments about Krauthammer are nasty.

I meant "caved" in the sense of they were given the option to either go along with the Iranians and let themselves be used for TV propaganda, or they would face a trial and up to seven years in jail. And they didn't want to go to jail, so they let themselves be used.

Before they did the "cheap suits and goodie bags" appearance with President Sleazeface, their commander told them "don't mess up, we want to get home," which I got the impression was their main priority.

Maybe the transcript will prove me wrong, but almost everything I heard indicated that they were just looking out for their own personal interests, as if they were civilian hostages.

MINNEAPOLIS - Three lawyers in the U.S. Attorney's office in Minneapolis have resigned from their management posts and will return to prosecuting cases, according to media reports Friday.

U.S. Attorney Rachel Palouse said in a statement that "the management team supports the decisions of the three who stepped down," but she did not comment on what led to the decisions, the Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported in its Friday editions.

Phone messages left seeking comment from the U.S. attorney's office early Friday were not immediately returned.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press, citing sources it said did not want to be identified discussing staffing changes, reported that the three were unhappy with Palouse's management style.

Paulose, 34, had replaced former U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger after he resigned in February 2006.

Jeff Paulsen, a prosecutor of 18 years, was named chief of the office's criminal division, according to Palouse's statement. That post had belonged to James Lackner. The Associated Press was unable to find a home phone number for Lackner.

Melchizedek gets a mention in the 'First Eucharistic Prayer', sometimes called 'The Roman Canon'.

That is a long prayer, and usually only used in more solemn or special Masses, like feast days.


The Saturday Evening (starts at sunset) Easter Vigil Mass, while running close to 3 hours long, is chock full of Scripture readings, more than the normal 1 'Old Testament', one Psalm, one New Testament (non-Gospel) and one Gospel readings Catholics usually get at Mass.

Three or four readings from Genesis alone, a couple from Exodus, this year a reading from the Prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel and Baruch, plus a reading from the 'New Testament' Acts of the Apostles before the Gospel reading.

Then the Litany of Saints, and stuff with incense, the whole deal.

We tried that once with young children, and learned a lesson. Children can't be expected to sit in a church pew for 2 or 3 hours.


Which reminds me, I had already known that Protestant Bibles had discarded some books Catholics consider 'Old Testament', like both Maccabees, but I discovered they dropped 'Tobit'.

I like Tobit, it is a wonderful story, and it can easily be read, the entire book, at one sitting.

Maybe the transcript will prove me wrong, but almost everything I heard indicated that they were just looking out for their own personal interests, as if they were civilian hostages.


When they first started airing the "apologies", someone (probably Rush, I don't remember) said what would they have done if they were U.S. Marines? Caved? Hardly.

in addition to the fact that the diary was removed due to copyright infringement (NOT because it is a vile piece of anti-semitic bullshit):

2) Kos posted the link to this POS's blog

Yup, Protestants did. For the most part, books dropped were dropped as they did not contain any specific citations relating to Christ. Books of History that were kept were the pentateuch, so that christians would know where we came from (both the creation account and also the books of the Law, so we know the rule by which God Judges, and can further appreciate the Gift of Christ)

Interesting Note, the book of Ruth was almost dropped.

Karachi/Islamabad, 6 April (AKI) - (by Syed Saleem Shahzad) - The firebrand cleric of the Lal Masjid or Red Mosque in the capital Islamabad has given the Pakistani government one month's notice to curb "vice" or risk that the movement in the radical mosque takes matters into its own hands, even carrying out suicide attacks. "I give you one month notice to eliminate, gambling dens, video shops and brothels or after that we will do that ourselves," Maulana Abdul Aziz, the mosque's chief cleric announced during Friday prayers.

The only thing I heard that I could maybe cut them some slack for was the comment that if they had resisted capture, it would have had "strategic consequences" or words to that effect. i.e. we don't want to be responsible for starting WW III.

Even if I were to go as far as to excuse their "confessions" because they were made under "psychological pressure" (and I don't), they should IMHO now be saying that they deeply regret making those statements, not crap like "we're proud," and "she behaved with dignity." It's like the liberal notion that you can lose yet be declared a winner. They caved, and while I don't think they should be publicly humiliated or anything, it's certainly nothing to be proud of.

The UN has been useless because the US has manipulated and controlled it. The European Union is powerless because it is frightened of US retaliation. The US has, and continues to dominate the world. It has more blood on its hands than any nation in history. The world can only wait for China to challenge US domination and free it from US aggression and terrorism. Its time the US was held to account for all the suffering it has caused to humanity.

What Dr. Strangelove fails to mention, is how his advocacy of our failed policy in Iraq contributed to this Brit hostage charade, and how many more we may look forward to in the future. Dr. S and his fellow NeoCons, in their rush to remake the Middle East in their own, well-fed Caucasian image, has irreparably ruined our military, depleted our resources both human and material, and made effectively left both the U.S. and our Brit allies eunuchs. The whole world knows this. Good job, Strangelove. Keep on a yammering, you are such a bright boy.

So now there's Fatah, Hamas , and Dagmoush

Powerful, unchecked clan surges in Gaza
By Dion Nissenbaum and Ahmed Abu Hamdan

McClatchy Newspapers

(MCT)

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Along the southern stretches of Gaza City, in a stronghold surrounded by concrete barriers and patrolled by armed guards, a powerful clan has evolved into a force that the Palestinian Authority is afraid to confront.

Palestinian officials suspect Mumtaz Dagmoush and his extended family of 15,000 of involvement in every major recent crisis in Gaza, from the capture of an Israeli soldier last summer to the unresolved kidnapping of a BBC correspondent last month.

Israel's security establishment sees the clan as something even more dangerous: a rogue organization that could become a conduit for international terrorism.

The unchecked Dagmoush influence is a reflection not only of an enduring instability in Gaza, but also of early shortcomings in the new Palestinian coalition government, which has been unwilling or unable to handle this challenge to its power.

"If there is a way to describe Gaza, it is Mumtaz Dagmoush," said a veteran Israeli security official who has tracked the rise of the family. He spoke about the issue on the condition of anonymity because of the classified nature of his work. "It's clan, it's business, it's terrorism, it's international terrorism and it's a place where everybody has lost hope that the government is going to do anything about it."

Members of the new Palestinian Authority recognize the threat. But they're reluctant to challenge the family's power, which often trumps all other Palestinian loyalties.

The Right Wing Conspiracy was not as Vast as it once was, but yesterday's steering committee meeting at the National Press Club still had a decent turnout. WorldNetDaily was there, as well as the New York Sun, two representatives of Accuracy in Media, talk-show host Lester Kinsolving -- and a camera crew from Fox News, natch.

The subject: a new poll, funded by Judicial Watch, finding that people expect Hillary Clinton's administration to be corrupt. Some might regard the findings as premature, given that the Hillary Clinton administration has not been elected and, therefore, has had limited opportunity to demonstrate corruptness. But this was no obstacle to Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, which back in the day filed drawers full of lawsuits alleging Clinton corruption.

"A total of 42 percent of likely voters describe Hillary Clinton as corrupt," Fitton announced triumphantly. He tiptoed around the finding that a larger number, 51 percent, do not see her as corrupt.

"Forty-five percent of likely voters are concerned that there will be high levels of corruption in the White House if Hillary Clinton is elected president," Fitton continued, this time omitting mention of the 54 percent who are not concerned. ...

There's more.

You need to pay attention to the top international military analysts, like Rossie O'Donnell.

The Frigate commander didn't "let" his sailors get taken, he "forced" Iran to do it, so that Britain would have an excuse to start WWIII.

Once Ahmadinejad figured this out he released them, because he only wants rainbows and puppies the world over.

This is a reminder that you must take your Lithium EVERY DAY. We understand that your paranoia tendencies (that little voice inside your head) tells you that the medicine that we have prescribed to you is a Neocon plot to control your thinking. Do not listen to that little voice. As your professional mental health care worker has discussed with you in numerous private sessions, the little voice inside your head is just a result of a chemical imbalance inside your brain.

So, please, take your prescribed medication EVERY DAY and we hope to see you at your next counseling session next week.

Also, please adhere to the policy of not mixing your prescribed medications with alcohol or uncontrolled substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine.

Customs associated with Good Friday
In many countries with a strong Christian tradition such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, the countries of the Commonwealth Caribbean, Germany, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, the day is observed as a public or federal holiday.

In many English speaking countries, most shops are closed for the day and advertising from television and radio is withdrawn to some degree.

In Canada banks and government offices (at all levels) and public sector businesses are closed, along with most private sector businesses (except in Quebec).

In the United States, Good Friday is not a federal holiday, although it is a state holiday in some locations. U.S. governments are also constitutionally prevented from forcing most private businesses to open or close on any particular day, so the stock markets are usually closed on Good Friday along with some other businesses (especially in rural areas) - but the majority of businesses are open on Good Friday. Many public schools close on Good Friday because so many children's families observe the holiday. The postal service operates, and banks regulated by the federal government are not allowed to close. State and local offices are closed in areas where it is a state holiday.


Hot cross bunsThe Republic of Ireland, a predominantly Catholic country, prohibits all alcohol from being sold on Good Friday. Almost all pubs and many restaurants in Ireland close for the duration of the day. It is similar to Christmas Day in this regard. This tradition has come under criticism of late, with secular businesses claiming a loss in earnings by way of a religious festival. Many people cross the border to Northern Ireland to shop or visit pubs or restaurants.

In Germany, theater performances and events which include public dancing are illegal on the day; cinemas and television are not affected, although many TV channels show religious material on the day. The enforcement of these rules even on non-Christians has met with increased opposition in the last decade.

In South Africa, the government regulates the opening of businesses and entertainment outlets on this day (as with Christmas Day). All government offices, schools and certain businesses are closed on Good Friday by law. The buying and selling of alcohol is prohibited.

In India, Good Friday is a Central Government as well as a State holiday. Although Stock Markets are usually closed. Some other bussinesses are also closed in States where Christians are in majority like Assam, Goa, and Kerala but the majority of businesses are open on Good Friday in rest of the Country. Most schools are closed on Good Friday.

Eastern Orthodox Christians are not supposed to eat at all on this day and the next, while the Roman Catholic Church observes fasting and abstinence for this day as well as Ash Wednesday.

In many English speaking countries, hot cross buns are eaten.

Traditionally, Catholics are to abstain from eating meat every Friday of the year as penance. Nowadays, this is only a requirement during Fridays of Lent; during Fridays of the rest of the year, other methods of penance may be followed, for example an extra prayer. As a modern tradition, many Catholics (and members of other Christian denominations as well) will eat fish on Good Friday.

There is no horse racing on Good Friday in the UK.

Don'tay any attention to the video - just close your eyes and listen to the words and voices. I don't know the composer's intent, but to me it sounds like the message from He whom we honor this weekend. It is truly remarkable.

If anyone emails with MamaWinger, would you please pass this along to her, as I think she especially would like it.

Over the past week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi toured the Middle East with a congressional entourage and a generous collection of scarves. The scarves provided her with an additional bit of sartorial modesty when the situation required it and she was also able to use them to cover her head when protocol dictated -- such as when she visited the tomb of John the Baptist inside a mosque in Damascus and tied one around her head in the manner of a Hitchcock heroine.

Other Western women have visited the Middle East and have had to cover their heads, but they often looked as though that requirement came as a surprise and in a pinch they reached for the nearest available square of fabric. Being respectful demands a certain mindfulness in order not to look like one is wearing a tablecloth. ...

I think Charles is sooner or later going to realize that two servers simply cannot handle spikes for a popular website. The only long-term option is some sort of shared-bandwidth/server hosting arrangement. This allows brief spikes to be spread across dozens of servers, while keeping the average usage down to one, so as to keep costs down.

I wonder, for example, how Instapundit is hosted. It gets huge traffic but never goes offline or slows down.

In the UK MSM, the explanation of the behaviour of the captured Sailors over the past weeek is the UK military's training of Conduct after Capture.

I can't find any links that fully explains this in connection with the UK military but I done a google and found a link to a Daily Mail article on it from the 30th March?

From the article it gives an explanation of Conduct after Capture:

But in the post-Cold War world a more subtle approach to 'Conduct After Capture' has been adopted, designed to fit the kind of operations UK armed forces now carry out.

Today's servicemen and women are more likely to be captured by fanatical insurgents or a rogue state faction with no interest in obeying international law, rather than the professional armed forces of a foreign state.

A British prisoner must still avoid betraying secrets, but is now trained to co-operate with their captors if they think it will help. The extent to which captured personnel choose to co-operate is a matter for their own judgment, according to defence insiders, depending on the circumstances they face.

The questions that are now being asked is whether these sailors and Royal Marines received the proper Conduct after Capture training, if any. According to this Guardian article it doesn't look like they did.

I also found this link from the spectator which also poses the same question:


The second question is, ‘Have the sailors had proper Conduct after Capture training, especially the more advanced course called Resistance to Interrogation?’ The damaging things that the captured servicemen said on Iranian television appeared to go right against the rules about what can and cannot be said, and most did not appear to contain the coded signals to indicate duress in which the sailors should have been trained. One of the most powerful weapons of torture which does not inflict actual violence is sleep-deprivation. I gather that, because of human-rights considerations, this can no longer be applied in our training to resist interrogation, so our service personnel are more vulnerable to the real thing. The Iranians are doing brilliantly, and we are helping them.

They are however pedaling lightly as their leader has gone underground and they are receiving a little more attention, heat, and pressure from the general public than they thought they would. They knew that the gov't wasn't going to confront female students with police during election season, don't think they expected the public backlash.

Also, I only give my Wife the Whatfor, although she's still got too many excuses to get out of it. Sometimes, she even acts like she likes it!

Greetings & Salutations fair lizards!

My sucky week got less bad last night. Bowled a 190, 256, and 178. Here For The Beer took 5 points and continues to climb up the standings like roughage through one's gastro-intestinal tract. Up to a 4th place tie with only about 5 weeks remaining.

Howizya'll?

NICE! I think if you add up all three games I bowled Wed, you get 354.... heh.

one game, I didn't break 100....

but, it is about fun not points with me. . . so that's ok.

not sure yet, haven't heard back from them. I don't have great credit, so I'm sure it isn't going to be really wonderful...

780 Texas Heathen  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 11:43:38am

hey nmm. I think your luck is changing. 777 the jackpot post.

781 LanceKates  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 11:44:56am

pie in 15 minutes, then leave early in an hour and 15 minutes....

782 LanceKates  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 11:45:56am

they've found that more people will show up if you offer punch and pie.

/ south park reference.

so we give them some pie and on the way out I give them a cannon punch to the ribs.

/ I'm tired.

783 newmelleman  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 11:48:28am

Lance is getting pie?

ATTABOY!

784 Widow'smight  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 11:51:54am

Gettinby,

I must take some time to set up a Flickr account. Trust me, you haven't missed anything (altho my husband says otherwise, thank God!).

We'll be the judge of that, and besides it puts a face with your words.

Your Husband is a lucky and wise man. Cause, if momma ain't happy ........ does anything else matter?

785 Texas Heathen  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 11:51:55am

I like pie.
/Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy reference

unless you have kids you probly never heard of it

786 LanceKates  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 12:06:13pm

I don't know why I care, i'm not going to have any.

LGF hiccupped (sp?), so in case it goes down (and I'm leaving early today--must clean my .40 and my AR), everyone please have a wonderful Good Friday!

your husband has a wonderful wife if you think a firearm is a good gift.

789 Texas Heathen

Eh, if I broke a girl's heart, or did something disgraceful, being killed wouldn't be as horrible as how I'd feel for having done so.

If I miss you before I leave, best wishes for y'all this Good Friday and Easter.

Not really. Bar-B-que, phone calls to family, prayers.

We're going target shooting Sat. morning instead of Sunday this week. We do pistols every-other Sat., rifles every-other Sun. Love it!

Howsabout you?

it spreads, just like a virus and cancer, infecting the host.

I speak of liberalism as the virus and this radical islam as the cancer.


Ok, going to wrap up some stuff and get ready to go home for Easter Weekend.

798 LanceKates  Fri, Apr 6, 2007 12:32:52pm

796 gettinby

gah, I'd like to go target shooting again. I used to go every saturday at an ourdoor range to use my .22 rifle and .22 pistol.

now I just go irregularly to an indoor range to use my 9mm.

ok, off I go.
