Pastor at Obama’s Easter Church Service: ‘Captains of the Religious Right’ Want Blacks ‘in the Back of the Bus,’ Women ‘Back in the Kitchen’
Mar. 31, 2013 1:26pm Madeleine Morgenstern
*** begin quote ***
The pastor at the Washington, D.C. church where the Obama family celebrated Easter on Sunday said members of the religious right want blacks “in the back of the bus,” women “back in the kitchen” and immigrants “back on their side of the border.”
*** end quote ***
Perhaps the good Pastor missed the message of Easter?
Peace on Earth, Good will towards man, universal forgiveness.
A political attack on the right, or the left for that matter, from the pulpit is unseemly.
To a President, who seems to thrive on being a spendthrift and creating division in the country, a better sermon might be about the “brotherhood of man”, the parable of the talents, or the admonition to save for a rainy day.
If he claims not to have heard anything from Reverend Wright, then it probably doesn’t matter what is said.
Shame to waste the day on divisivness.

“I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” – Winston Churchill
I am watching a show about the poor in RIo.
Sad to see so much human capital wasted!
When I think of what I pay in “taxes” — that is nothing more than theft for fat connected cates, it makes me sad.
But then everything thse days seems to make me sad!

*** begin quote ***
Today the U.S. has spent the nation’s blood and treasure as well as our emotional capital on the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have become involved in Libya, Egypt, and Syria. Potential issues with Iran and North Korea loom large. There are 47 million people on food stamps. Unreported millions are unemployed. Spending on social programs has exploded. The housing market collapsed and has never fully recovered. The banking system is on life support. The Federal Reserve is purchasing $85 billion dollars each month (a trillion dollars a year) in U.S. Treasury issues because no one else is willing to do so. Despite government statistics and reports Inflation has driven prices on energy, food, clothing, health insurance, and everyday items beyond reason. Expenditures outstrip tax revenues. Government spending is out of control and we are approaching $17 trillion dollars in national debt with untold (and unfathomable) amounts in promised future benefits, entitlements, mandates, and promissory notes. By some estimates the U.S. has 238 TRILLION DOLLARS in unfunded liabilities. We can’t cover it. We are flat busted. And if our leadership refuses to address and fix the problem, the rest of the world will fix it for us.

Elite Eight Basketball Player Snaps Leg in Game — See Pictures of the Pain, Teammates’ Emotion
Mar. 31, 2013 6:39pm Liz Klimas
*** begin quote ***
Sports Nation reporter Roger Sherman described the injury as looking as “horrible as soon as it happened — we’re gonna go ahead and not show it to you; it’s really not the type of injury that’s typical in a basketball game — but I think you can pretty much gauge how bad it was from the reactions of his teammates and coach Rick Pitino.”
Teammates fell on the court, wiping their eyes in emotion seeing Ware’s state. Duke players too were filled with compassion toward their opponent.
Here is footage of the scene (Note: it might be consider graphic to some):

It’s head for “the mattresses” time for savers worldwide
Posted by Deviant Investor on March 28th, 2013
Guest Post from Liberty Gold and Silver
*** begin quote ***
Well, there is another turf war going on, a worldwide one, one that threatens the entire economic and political landscape of the planet. It is between all the hard working savers on the planet and the ever greedy criminal bankers and their cohorts in government. The real big canary singing out an extreme danger warning to all traditional savers who wish to entrust their wealth to banks and other paper vehicles – stocks, bonds, etc., is the incredible emergency banking shutdown in the tiny island nation of Cyprus. Granted, Cyprus represents only .02% of the population of the European Union. Yet what is occurring there is the harbinger of great risk to traditional savers on every continent; and equally important, there are many more scary danger signs raising their ugly heads as well.
*** end quote ***
Of course, Sheeple, it can’t happen here.
Why not?
Do you think that our politicians and bureaucrats are more “trustworthy” than theirs?
I keep looking back to the unfunded liabilities that the politicians have created in our names and the IRA/401k savings balances.
I’m sure that they are looking at the fact that they only have to strong arm about 3k “custodians” and it’s all theirs.
And what are the Sheeple and Clovers going to do about it?
When they are putting people in the camps, it’ll be too late.
Can’t happen here?
Talk to the Japanese Americans, the American Indians, the follower of David Koresh!
In a heartbeat.
Argh!

He calls “the great 401k experiment of the past 30 years” a “disaster,” and says the actual average 401(k) balance for 65 year olds is closer to $25,000 than the $100,000 claimed by the retirement industry. Siedle predicts, “a catastrophic outcome for at least a significant percentage of our elderly population is inevitable.”
He is just as pessimistic about pensions, warning, “Americans today are aware that corporate pensions have been virtually eliminated and that the few remaining private, as well as the nation’s public pensions, are in jeopardy. Even if you are among the lucky few that have a pension, you cannot rest assured that it will be there for all the years you’ll need it. Whether you know it or not, someone is busy trying to figure how to screw you out of your pension.”

Personal Health
AlterNet / By Scott Thill
4 Things You Should Know About Your ‘Third Eye’
We still lack a complete understanding of the pineal gland — but that doesn’t stop us from speculating.
*** begin quote ***
Located in nearly the direct center of the brain, the tiny pinecone-shaped pineal gland, which habitually secretes the wondrous neurohormone melatonin while we sleep at night, was once thought to be a vestigial leftover from a lower evolutionary state.
Indeed, according to recent research, we could be increasing our chances of contracting chronic illnesses like cancer by unnecessarily bathing its evenings in artificial light, working night shifts or staying up too late. By disrupting the pineal gland and melatonin’s chronobiological connection to Earth’s rotational 24-hour light and dark cycle, known as its circadian rhythm, we’re possibly opening the doors not to perception, but to disease and disorder. A recently published study from Vanderbilt University has found associations between circadian disruption and heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
By hacking what pinealophiles call our mind’s third eye with an always-on technoculture transmitting globally at light-speed, we may have disadvantaged our genetic ability to ward off all manner of complicated nightmares. No wonder the pineal gland is a pop-culture staple for sci-fi, fantasy and horror fandom, as well as a mass attractor of mystics and mentalists. Its powers to divide and merge our light and dark lives only seems to grow the more we take it seriously.
*** end quote ***
Nightmares?

No idea if it’s linked. Nor if there’s anything that can be done!

Food
AlterNet / By Jill Richardson
Is the Popular ‘Paleo Diet’ a Bunch of Baloney?
The Paleo diet might be more successful in generating profit for its proponents than producing health for its followers.
*** begin quote ***
Long story short, while many aspects of the paleo diet are uncontroversial and beneficial, like increasing fresh fruit and vegetable consumption, switching to pasture-raised meat, and cutting out processed foods, the overall premise of the diet as well as some of its key components appear based on pseudoscience and unsubstantiated claims. But, you might notice that many of the most popular, well-known paleo diet Websites sell books, diet plans and memberships. It appears that this diet might be more successful in generating profit for its proponents than producing health for its followers.
*** end quote ***
Well, their arguments certainly penetrated my thinking.
I can’t say that I’m a “good paleo”. Heck, I’m probably not even a “bad” one.
I have replaced water for ALL soda — diet or otherwise.
I have virtually eliminated the “pink stuff”.
I have been eating more salad, bananas, and organic apples.
I have been eating a LOT LESS pizza.
Beer and pizza is still my weakness!
Argh!
One thing’s for sure, they aren’t making any money from me.
Maybe it will be better for me, it can be worse. Can it?

A tip for effective meetings: Always be capturing
Joshua Porter/Director of UX, HubSpot
*** begin quote ***
At HubSpot, we recently did a product design sprint with the Google Ventures Design Studio. It was a great experience, not only to work alongside a team of highly accomplished designers, but to observe their design process and how they proceed through a project.
Our design team learned a lot from Google Ventures. We learned about designing quickly. We learned about keeping laser focus on the goals of a project. We learned about keeping the scope as small as possible (but no smaller). But one of the most powerful things we learned was a simple lesson that applies to way more than design: Always be capturing.
“Always be capturing” is about the habit of continuously recording the value from your conversation. For example: If you’re talking about a new concept, you should be sketching it as you talk so your team has a shared understanding and an artifact of the conversation.
*** end quote ***
Argh!
I’ve tried … …
(“NO! … Try not! … Do or do not… there is no try.” (To do it justice, you must say the word try with all the revulsion and disgust you can put on it. Like you were talking about a rapist, a child murderer, or a politician!) — Yoda (Fictional character from George Lucas’s “Star Wars” movie)
… … to change the culture about meetings!
I might as well be speaking Greek — scrums, huddles, meetings — to redefine the bad behavior.
“Camp fires” where everyone sits around and tells stories and departs with no “totem poles” erected to memorialize anything.
Argh!
Amazing how undisciplined modern corporations are and then they are surprised when they gon’t get the results that they want.
Sigh!

Hitachi’s Self-driving Robotic Car ROPITS
Posted on March 22, 2013 by Shiotsu
*** begin quote ***
This narrow car is designed to aid the needs of aging population as well as physically challenged individuals in Japan. The course & transport time of ROPITS can be programmed through map-loaded tablet computer. This is the unique factor of this self driven car. ROPITS can be used on sidewalks. Once the passenger uses the tablet PC to summon the car, it reaches to the location of the passenger. And passengers just need to indicate their destination using a touch screen. ROPITS is ideally suitable to move in & out of pedestrian spaces and even in crowded streets.

*** begin quote ***
For once, we agree with Bob Beckel.
The veteran Democratic operative and panelist on Fox News Channel’s “The Five” was outraged over a recent segment on the CBS’s reality show, “The Amazing Race.” And rightfully so. On a swing through Vietnam, someone thought it would be a swell idea to have the contestants pick up a clue in front of the wreckage of a U.S. B-52 bomber, shot down by an SA-2 battery during the war.

How insensitive can the Liberal Media be?
I lost friends, directly and indirectly, in the Viet Nam “war”. As a country, the Gooferment screwed over “We, The People”.

As a vet, I feel for all the folks on all sides of the debate. I was lied to as was everyone else.
BUT, that doesn’t give the Liberal Media / Hollywood the right to taunt.

JH: David, you detailed very, very well how we are constantly being ripped off. It’s a death of 1,000 cuts. Why is that? The story that we’ve gotten, for years and years and years, is that we have less regulation in order to spur competition. Ultimately, that competition was supposed to benefit consumers. What’s going wrong?
DCJ: I want more competition. Here’s what really goes on, however. We put up barriers to competition, and in fact, Wall Street has institutionalized this concept. Morningstar, they’re a big financial advice firm. They tell people that they should grade companies and decide whether to buy their stock, based on something called a “moat index.” Moat, like around a castle? A moat index asks, “What barriers has the government erected to keep anybody else from competing against that company?” Indeed, as I show in my book, you could get rich if you invest in those companies that have regulatory moats — where under the name of deregulation, we have insulated them from the rigors of the market.
# – # – #
Unfortunately, what we have today is faux capitalism!
The “regulators” are in bed with that which they are supposed to “regulate”.
FDA and Big Pharma is the classic example.
The SEC, FTC, OCC, and all the other bureaucrats are a revolving door with Wall Street.
And, the politicians are like the whorehouse Madam!
Argh!

EUROZONE COUNTRY: SURPRISE! WE’RE PUTTING AT LEAST A 6.75% TAX ON YOUR BANK DEPOSITS
Mar. 16, 2013 10:12pm Erica Ritz
*** begin quote ***
Congratulations Cyprus savers – you were just betrayed by both your politicians, and by Europe – sorry, but you are the “creeping impairments” in the game known as European bankruptcy. And so is anywhere between 6.75% and 9.9% of your money, which you were foolish enough to keep with your banks (where at least you were compensated with a savings yield of… 0%).
More importantly, as of this morning Europe has finally grasped that there is a 6.75% to 9.9% premium to holding physical cash in your mattress rather than having it stored with your local friendly insolvent bank.
Luckily Cyrpus is so “small” what just happened there will never happen anywhere else: after all in Europe nobody has ever heard of “setting an example“. Or so the thinking among Europe’s unthinking political elite goes…
*** end quote ***
So, how do you, the average Sheeple, protect yourself?
Don’t think that this will go unnoticed around the world!
My concern is not so much a tax on “savings”; my concern is a seizure of IRA/401ks.
Figure there are only about 3k financial institutions that are “custodians”. All regulated up the wazoo by the District of Corruption.
Every so often, “trial balloons” get floated about the Gooferment taking those in exchange for an “enhanced Social Security benefit”.
So my gold and silver bullion or nickels strategy don’t look so bad now!
Sometimes capital preservation is more important than investment gain lost!

Fixing Their Wagon
March 15, 2013
*** begin quote ***
Shun them.
The model for this is easy enough to understand. If the person who owned the house down the road from you was known to be a child sex offender, would you invite him to your summer barbecues? Would you contract with his business to perform work? Would you shake his hand when you bumped into him at the store? You probably – hopefully – would not.
Apply the same treatment to the people who insist on living by doing violence to others. For they are exactly like child molesters in the sense that matters: They victimize people. They manipulate and coerce and threaten. They leverage power – force and its threat – to get what they want. It is only because we’ve been conditioned to accept the unacceptable via euphemism and evasion that we tolerate such people among us. Those reading this column no doubt do not accept it. Hence, they ought not to tolerate it. There may be occasions when we are forced to deal with them. But wherever possible, wherever we have the choice, we ought to elect not to deal with them. And we ought to tell them exactly why we want nothing to do with them. Call them on it. Do not let it – their reliance on violence – go unmentioned. Mention it. Bring it into the open. Make them squirm – those that still have the vestigial capacity to squirm when confronted with their own ethical atrocities. But never, ever, accept them as members of civilized society. Because civilization is dying on account of them.

What to do if your cruise ship becomes disabled
By Paul Motter
Cruisin For Deals
Published March 15, 2013
*** begin quote ***
One approach is to pick a new ship or one that has just been refurbished. Some of these include Disney Fantasy and Carnival Breeze. Also coming soon are Norwegian’s Breakaway and Royal Caribbean’s Royal Princess.
*** end quote ***
I’d say “what should you have done BEFORE your ruse ship becomes disabled”!
You should have your “bug out” bag.
OK, you may have had to leave the guns home. But everything else should be there.
Plastic bags, duct tape, water, food.
Hunker down.
It’s a survival situation.
Retrovirus — isolate yourself; become a germophobe.
Stuck — collect supplies.
It’s a bug in situation with guaranteed extraction within a week.
Good practice?
Stay out of situations where your movement is restricted!
Airplanes, boats, trains, buses!
The big key is always have a plan!
Like Ike said: “Plans are worthless; planning is everything!”
