Random Thought

Not surprising that so many of the British Elite would be educated at either Oxford or Cambridge.
I read in the paper on Saturday that the Aye vote was mainly grassroots while the Nay vote was
being orchestrated by the PTB since they have a lot to loose if the Ayes win.

NFL season has begun:
Seahawks 36-Packers 16
Vikings 34-Rams 6

New reports for austria say that chances of kids outdoing their parents isn't good (e.g. not 1:1) in austria, but still better than say germany.
Germany got a billion surplus in export this last quarter but imho it's not true economic gain. Germans got on average 40.7 h overtime of which 27 h are not paid. So the gain is actually bought on the heads of the employees while the company and stocks/shareholders get richer. Since germany also supports companies with tax money (without returns?) there has been some clashing with the EU commissions. Adding to that other modern forms of slavery it's no wonder the german people actually rank low (27th) in terms of personal wealth and that the gap between rich and poor is like in 3rd world countries.

NASA says it doesn't believe the crater in Nicaragua was from a meteorite because no person saw it coming. Well, I got my doubts too but this was not on my mind. For one the passing happened over New Zealand so hitting in Nicaragua is somewhat off meaning it hit earlier or was split far off and log ago. Second the place it hit was soft and the crater size ratio does not match. It should be deeper than wide but it's regular explosive cratering... *shrugs* Until excavation produces fragments it's very sketchy.

Anyway, the Netherlands released a preliminary report on MH-17 and it's quite a political ... saying it was hit by numerous fast objects.
Obviously a fragmentation warhead which is consistent with the Buk missile or the majority of missiles.

I saw a new Youtube video ad for Scottish Independence at Twitchy today.It's pretty cool.The ad starts off with the Union Jack and a list of reasons why Independence is bad and then when it reaches the end
it segues into the Saint Andrew's Cross and the list reverses and reading it backwards it turns it into
a list of positives for Independence.

Also never get on William Shatner's bad side.He has a way of making fun of other celebrities that is so
hysterically funny.

And finally looks like PC has gone too far what with the majority owner of the Atlanta Hawks deciding to sell out voluntarily because of comments that the team couldn't attract enough white fans.
Trying to avoid the fate of Sterling.
Even Kareem thought he overreacted.

That's a nice video.

Maybe the allure of quick money from selling was a factor. *shrugs*

I thought the Pistorius ruling was yesterday but it's today and as expected two types of murder charge were dropped leaving only manslaughter. Pft. Let's see.

So we are going to help Assad out after all, thought "indirectly". It also appears Obama plans to drag it (the problems) out into the next presidency. Sure there's no quick solution but it's not like there are that many targets. Just bombing the vehicles could be done in months and IS would be left with bad supply lines etc. Well, everyone would also be hit, too.

Despite the judge it was obvious that it had to have been pre-meditated.Pistorius will now go down as the 'South African' O.J.

Assad was never the enemy,the real enemy was always the people he kept warning us about were
terrorists.I mean he kept saying that the people we were supporting were arming terrorists.And now
the news that one of the journalists in ISIS hands was traded to him by the very 'moderates' we were
supposed to be allies with.

On the good news front,the Dems in the Senate failed to get their bill passed that would have
effectively limited the First Amendment.They wanted to amend the First Amendment basically so that
it would limit free speech.

Only 6 days left to the big election in Scotland.

And speaking of which I did some more reading up on YDNA and it seems that my family probably originated in Western Scotland.Somewhere between Loch Lomond region and Galloway.

Yeah, it from the very beginning everyone in SA (including her parents) said that the "hero" is innocent...then not everything was allowed to be brought before the court, hence, it could not be proven that he intended it. Interestingly, surveys around the world show that less than 20% of people would think him innocent. It's over and he's as good as free. Just with OJ I doubt appealing would change anything.

Yep, Assad's family and his people were the only ones harboring & protecting other minorities. They regularly & annually celebrated festival with them, too. Overall, his family was reasonably more affiliated to the good side than the bad. Their stance to us now is probably no longer that good. Imho what's gone is gone.

The next problem is turkey. It's just a matter of time before Erdogan reveals his true face. I bet the supreme court will be replaced and the constitution changed, him becoming the next hitler or 1st Sultan. "Interesting" times we live in that I would rather pass, though.

Free speech these days is already limited by unspoken "pressure" so I'm really puzzled over this move by them or anyone for the matter. It's very unlikely but maybe there's some behind the scene reason I can't fantom.

Pretty much all the separatist movements in the EU are waiting for this vote. According to BP (British!) the oil they got will only last 20/30 years so it will only be a temporary advantage. Well, I have to agree it's kind of late for this.
I'm kind of uninformed to the details but are there some important differences between west/east or north/south? I know somewhat about castles, though.

On other sensational news these past days:
The ozon is regenerating! Prognosis say it will return to 1980 level in 50 years and may close the hole in a century. Imho this news could as well not make it to the news and still not affect anyone's lives.

Super sun blast going to Earth now! A mid level eruption....I'm still using my computer.

I'm in blood group O. I'm O + and my mom is O- .My dad is A+ .

I read at Townhall today that the vote is pretty close.So the undecideds will be the big difference on
Thursday.

Well compared to the rest of the Arab Mideast the Assad family have been pretty tolerant.Which is why
I question why we have been supporting the rebels other than Hezebollah and the Russians are supporting Assad,and we really don't want to support the same people as them...nowdo we?
sarc.

It looks like the Crimea has voted for the first time in a Russian election since the old USSR broke up.

So you got very valuable blood. Beware of vamps!

Ukraine adopted a law granting special status to the conflict region.
Looks like things are settled in the Ukraine, even though fighting was going on strong just days ago.

It's official obama sends troops to africa to help build hospitals and train health workers. The plan is to have 50 trained per day in 16 hospitals. So it's a 16 days training plan... better than nothing.

Nasa has approved Boeings astronaut crew ship design which looked like from star trek according to past sketches/3D renderings. Now it looks more classic, though. *shrugs*
http://phys.org/news/2014-06-boeing-cst-spaceliner-leo.html

I saw recently a reuters article being redacted (censored) just a day after publication. Too much information manipulation these days....
Things are getting worse in many parts of the world: kidnappings, slavery, murder etc. It's spread pretty much all over central africa, already. The recent reports on (domestic) violence against kids and women is just the top of the iceberg, although they were about the western world, too. It's sad.

It's O- that's the Universal Donor not O+ .

28 Christians including children were arrested by the Saudi Morals and Vice Police for the 'crime' of
conducting a private prayer service in a home of a Indian national.I'm thinking that the Extreme
Islamists are doing this to score points with ISIS/ISIL/IS.

Kind of puts things in perspective.

AFAIG with the Peterson and Rice cases: it's really apples and oranges.Rice did something that is really dispicable.He really should be not only banned from the NFL from life he should also be banned
from every level of football and not even be allowed near or even to watch a football game ever again
in his life.Hell,he should be banned from even being able to watch the NFL Network at his local bar!

What Peterson did OTOH may or not have been as bad as it seems.It all depends when all the facts come out.The question isn't about whether or not corporal punishment is bad but rather whether or not he got out of hand when swatting his son with the branch.It's really the question of whether or
not that was normal for how hard he spanks his kids or whether he just lost his temper and wailed
on his son harder than normal.

Another difference is that Peterson immediately sought professional help when the incident came out
while Rice seems to have excused himself.

Scotland voted "no". Looks like last minute bribing and scaring people with uncertainty of the currency worked. Imho currency is only a temporary problem. It doesn't change the fact that they god pounds in british banks. Same trouble as having money in swiss banks. *shrugs*

Yeah, while ISIL and the like say they want to get rid of fake systems like the Saudi Kingship they set up a caliphate which is by definition led by a worldly leader rather than a religious leader as one would expect. The first caliphate is even said to be similar to democracy. In the end it's all about power and money.
And Iran is going to slash "happy" dancer even though that's their job.
The french are joining the action again. Looks like Holand trying to gain popularity, though I doubt people will elect him again.

Agreed.

I agree with the fact that the Statists did a good job of scaring people into voting NO in the Referendum.
I think the fact that they used the Media such as Fox News Channel and the BBC probably helped.Though I think this is only going to be Round 1.It may take 3 or 4 more Rounds before Scotland
gets total Independence again.I read a commentary that Sean Connery wrote on the subject and he
mentioned that an independent Scotland would be good for its arts community.He's been a life long
advocate of Independence.

Though it looks like Cameron is going to be in trouble as the other Tories don't like the idea of allowing Scotland to have its own seperate income tax rates.
Now as far as North Ireland goes:that's an entirely different situation as it would be not only a case of voting Independence from England,IF they had such a referendum,but also to join the Republic.

The entire Mideast was basically created by the European Allies following WWI.You read up on the history and none of those nations existed prior to WWI.They were all provinces of the Ottoman Empire.But after the Allies won they split them up on artificial lines and not on ethnic or religious
ones.Which is why we got all the problems there now.

Hi there, i wasn't showing for some time now i guess, had some work to do
I guess you already get the picture from media - since things began to calm down (are they?) there's less difference in information on TV.
The fight is still goes on, but it's more like it's always been in the east after the big stuff already happened - a bomb here, a shell there, some random fights... We could really push separatists out if Putin didn't come. From some point of view it's good - he had to play openly and is now easier to least press at. But on the other hand since he did get exposed - he won't hasitate from now on.

From millitary point of view - we are quite capable on the infantry side but lack in serious weaponry (except for artillery) and most importantly - a good chain of command, tactics, communication. That's where private batallions and mercs definately show their limitations, mainly because of certain distrust - everyone want others to lead the assault or take the beating etc.
Usually - this is the point where a regular army usualy kick in when there's tanks on horison, with the only problem that ukraine ain't got much...and it's not even tanks themselves are the problem - the country thought wars are stuff of movies and books.

Honestly - i'm glad if it will be over, but i know many are unhappy to negotiate with separatists. But on the other hand - aside from millitary threat - they can do little. They can't govern those territories so unless russia takes them - they are doomed. Politics is as much as a weapon as any i guess.
Still i can't help but feel as in a song:
" When the deeds that you do don't add up to zero
It's what inside that counts (ask any war hero)"

Good to see you again and in good health. Media coverage has been little for a while but it's obvious anyway. Well, I think the "lies" have served their purpose so he doesn't bother with it anymore. Pretty much everyone in the know already predicted how this plays out.

Yeah, but I also think your demilitarization was part of his long-term plot from long ago. I will leave that to history to dig it all out but I'm pretty certain he planned it since ever.

At least there are war songs to be sung. *insert here spicy Klingon comment*

--------
I doubt Scotland can have another try soon. IMHO in a hundred years or so. By then things have change. This was pretty much the only time it made sense to try. Nearly everyone I know (and not know) says they failed (miserably).
Cameron is happy but what will he do now? Leave the EU? doubt it.

Yep, but the root of things goes at least a bit further back.
Cue: "The Kaiser's Jihad" A certain germany middle-east "expert", Mr. Oppenheim suggested to use jihad on the british in support of the german side. The (Ottoman) law was changed to allow it since the Shar/Calif for their own purposes have controlled everything that could cause revolt. They took people to Berlin and trained/taught them what Jihad is. The rest is history.
Our recent problem has been advanced directly thanks to Bush's and Obama's bad decisions. But it would have turned out the same, only at a slower pace. Maybe 10/20 years more air. *shrugs*
In international politics "divide and conquer" is a typical (roman) european strategy or rather used too excessively. But it's the constant "interference", ignorance, "no loyalty" (as if they are better) and other moral issues that bothers them. Add  people looking for power and money ...  They are waging a war of annihilation while we try a political "humane" way. This is not gonna end.

Welcome back Alex.
I suppose neither side is too happy with the negotiations results.The main thing is that the civilians on both sides can go back to whatever semblance of normality in their daily lives they can get.It's all nice to talk about the military but in the end it's the people who live in the war zone whose lives are going to be affected the most no matter who won a shooting war.

AFAIG with ISIS:we really need to annihilate them.They aren't the type that we can negotiate with.
Complete Destruction is the only way to victory.To do that we are going to have to have Syria's help.
And also probably Iran.But I doubt Congress or the President will be realistic enough to do it.Opposite
of Roosevelt and Churchill in WWII who were willing to work with Stalin who was just as bad as Hitler
to defeat Hitler.Sometimes to defeat a devil you need another devil on your side.

Yeah, from what I've seen there's lots of random destruction of peoples homes in the Ukraine, not to mention the violence/tortures/rapings against civilians. It's not quite over yet for the common people. It's real war even if our media doesn't give that impression.

Today, the UN discusses climate change again and De Caprio gets to talk before the assembly!

On other news we finally get to test the new Tomahawk Cs and the F-22s. They got to demonstrate their effectiveness against ammo bunkers etc. in IS territory. It's a lot more expensive than with smart bombs but it's the situation of things. Wonder how many got to jihad heaven.

Hmm, BBC has a little info-article on dwarf dinosaurs
http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20140916-why-dwarf-dinosaurs-were-such-a-big-deal
Never heard of this, but then again BBC doesn't have well researched (errorneous) articles in these info sections.

I'm hearing there's supposed to be an UN effort to pass some new international law or adjustment to deal with ISIL like cases. It's about time to disown people who abandoned humanity of their human rights.

A german court has ruled in another burqa case that it was inappropriate on the neutrality of the hospital ground. Heh, these people are trying to call on tolerance and acceptance but are actually introducing intolerance or demarcation of others on neutral grounds. It's kind of ironic that most people in islamic countries in the middle-east and surrounding have to seek help from Jewish run hospitals when needing appropriate care.

And the irony never ends.

I watched the series premiere of Gotham Monday.Trying for a grittier,edgier more adult version of the Batman legend without Batman.Interesting that the first person we see is actually neither Bruce
Wayne nor James Gordon but a teenage Selina Kyle.After stealing some milk and pickpocketing a wallet she becomes the unwitting eyewitness to the Wayne murders.

Of the other Bat Rogues Gallery:
*Edward E.Nigma 'The Riddler' is shown in a cameo giving Bullock and Gordon help trying to idenify
a gun but Bullock is irritated by the way he keeps going off topic with riddles.

*Oswald Cobblepot 'The Pengiuin' is a lackey for Will Smith's wife as a female owner of a strip club
run by the Mob.Cobblepot looks timid but actually his temper goes off whenever anyone calls him
'Penguin'-he hates the nickname.

*Ivy 'Poison Ivy' is the young daughter of a small time crook.Her father is framed by the corrupt
GCPD for the murders.

No Joker.

Since this is from Gordon's POV Bruce Wayne as a young boy is shown to be a bit mentally unbalanced.At one point Gordon drives to Wayne Manor to question the boy and Alfred but sees
him on top of the mansion standing at the edge of the roof.When Alfred scolds him Bruce claims he
is trying to conquer fear.

The trailer for next week shows Bruce placing his hands over candles.

I kind of like Gotham but yeah a lot of characters were squeezed into the pilot episode. And there's a lot of cliches, too. As to the Joker, there's probably some twist. "Catwoman" is kind of misplaced regarding age and role in the whole episode. Her agility is great for the role it's only without Hally Berry's (excessive) swaying.

Anyway, despite all the propaganda the allies only attacked just around 30 targets and some more oil related targets. Seems hardly worth it if it didn't hit high value targets. There's a lot of "new" revelations on the ground. A lot of so called civilians are carrying weapons including women. And many deny the "cleansing" just like with the germans in nazi germany. Of course they are oblivious to the fact that there's no longer anybody of different colors around them. Tsk.

Apple iPhone6 owners are now lamenting how easily this thin cellphone bends. Well, it's their own fault for not being careful. That's the rule for anything you buy and get it damaged by using. It's not the manufacturer's fault by law in any country.

"Shellshock" bug! Geez, the sensation! It certainly is dangerous but nobody uses the shell when serving or using a browser unless:
-you use tools that mostly uses the shell e.g. wget
-you are hacking

Btw. this might interest you, Alex. If you didn't know already.

And now there is the inevitable question as to whether or not the Scottish vote was rigged.It seems that
is especially true of the Edinburgh area.One video on the internet shows a female vote counter moving
ballots from the 'Yes' to the 'No' column.A zoom in shows that some of the ballots have 'Yes' checked off.

It looks like we will have boots on the ground in Iraq again pretty soon as it is the only way of actually
making sure that ISIS is totally defeated.
And one of the UAE pilots that bombed ISIS in Syria turned out to be a woman!
Delicious irony that the Moslem states are now using women to help fight the Terrorists.

The FBI is irked that Apple and Google are now using encryption on everything now.

I forgot to mention the season premiere of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..This was pretty
cool.Then again it did have Lucy 'Xena' Lawless! Loved it when her character goes all
Xena on the episodes Big Bad.Too bad she didn't do the nerve pinch though.It would have
been fun to hear her say:"I just cut the flow of blood to your head,you'll be dead in ten seconds..."
one more time.
There was also a nice twist at the end involving the character of Fitz.The twist is that throughout the episode the viewer is made to think that Simmons is still with the team and that she's trying to encourage Fitz.
But the ending has Coulson say she left the team months ago and that Fitz is actually in a delusional state talking to himself!
And Ward's in the basement looking all scrungy since the whole turning out to be a HYDRA mole came out last season.

Well, it made the Queen purring. It certainly is a possibility (like some other voting not too long ago over there...). And not to forget the one million undecided who didn't vote. It could have been easily different.

No need for grunts if we just bomb them all. There aren't that many of them only 20000 max and it's a desert, too. We can leave the rest to the kurds/iraquis.
It's because Obama wants to do it on a small flame and get the Arabs involved.
Yeah, I saw an (advertising)-report about the female pilot a while back (last year). But she's the only one and it's only the UAE. THE UAE has a mixed population more than any of the others. It's very much an exception.
Turkey is still pretending about it's allegiance or its double play. Since the IS attack on the Kurds last weekend they closed all the border except one to the Kurds. It's in its interest if the Kurds are gone. Turkey also wants to prevent allied strike by forcing a no-fly zone. Heh. Of course it's displeased since the oil fields under IS were attacked. Now it say it doesn't want to get involved. There's a reason why the allies did not strike from the closer Mediterranean side.

The FBI is irked that Apple and Google are now using encryption on everything now.

Nah, they only encrypt for their own internal server network routes between their sites. Even if it's for their user to user they still hold the keys. The government only needs to grab those. If you use openPGP you would be a lot saver. But any public or Open Security software is (easily) breakable. That's why nazi and the like organizations use their own software. I have considered one for private use myself. Encryption is only one problem the other is to make the software itself secure (un-debug-/untrace-/uncrackable) which is like adding 2-3x more levels of security/complexity. You need to be smart to do this since it involves lots of math than programming. Only very few people in the world do this regularly and pretty much all are on the dark side or in certain organizations. The foundation of the required technology is pretty old, though. And the source code/theory has been given out long ago by a certain russian virus hacker (he invented most of it if not all). It's just too troublesome to do. Besides a new breakthrough in math (published this year) is offering a true scrambling theory. If it's proven this is the ultimate obfuscation technology.

I guess the S.H.I.E.L.D. show fits her more than her role in Spartacus.

It looks like germany has been saving up too much on spending on the troops that a large percentage (>50%) of (aircraft, vehicles, ships) systems are out of service. It's becoming a scandal.

Recently, a middle-age enthusiast was telling my the town streets were designed such that people couldn't see through the end from anywhere. I was so amused by it. For one it's obvious they didn't know how to do them properly straight. Secondly people trying to extend/build their homes all over the place and without any rule or laws in place ...make the streets going like a snake. This is pretty much true for all towns in the 3rd world and elsewhere in the past and present.

Snaking roads would sound hard to use a snow plow on during the Winter.

Animenation closing up their retail and concentrating on the rental phase might not be too much of a
surprise or shock if you looked at their online catalogue the last couple of years and months.Their
stock had certainly gone down from when I was ordering from them.
One of the last times I checked they had completely done away with their Pre-Used catalogue.
Though it was classy of them to refer customers to Rightstuf.

The volcano that erupted in Japan killed either 31 or 32 depending on accounts.IIRC the news yesterday said it was 32 but the paper had 31.

Finally what do you think about Catalonia's seceeding from Spain now that the Scottish vote failed?

Well, it only matters if you move the snow plow fast. Then again I think people were only required (by law) to do the front of their home. Anyway, I only came here due to a recent trip down the medieval lane, scouting castles, playing (virtual) Lego.  Virtual since my past and present sets are incomplete due to neighborhood kids coming and going (past and present) and pieces disappearing. Event though single pieces aren't expensive the needed/wished amount in the (ten+) thousands makes quite a difference.

Yeah, with Animenation gone the competition narrows. I kind of expect prices to be less likely to be cheap. Not that I'm against Rightstuf or anything. God no.

Well, those hikers had no chance whatsoever. There's no escape from the dust and the heat. I felt sorry for the father who was asking to save his son and the GF but it was obvious. I doubt it would have been different if they had gas masks. If they had made it to the houses perhaps there would have been a chance.

Catalonia? I'm amused. Historically, spain isn't a geniune country. It was created by the coming together of founded "defense-counties" Navarre, Aragon and Catalonia plus the rest taken from the muslims. Simply said, Catalonia is a core state it's synonymous with Spain itself. It's like England wanting to seceed from Britain after having enjoyed the gains from conquering the rest. Whether they can do it. I dunno. They aren't really suppressed or anything. It's more of a question of moral and principle than a righteous claim.

In this light Hong Kong cannot escape its fate. Besides they were all too happy to return back then. All the media is waiting for now is a shootout, since the actual protest started last new year. The news of the current circumstances dates further back. When HK returned, all the HK officials were dispersed all over china such that no two would ever work closely together. Now that that generation is retiring of cause china planned to replace them all.

Still some fighting going on in the east Ukraine. Due to recent russian propaganda of newly dug out mass graves blamed on the Ukraine I expect unrest to last for quite a while longer.

If you read Robert's blog over at the Anime Corner Store he only thinks of Rightstuf as being worthy
competition as he stated that there was now only one left that he thinks of being a rival.I guess he
doesn't think much of Anime Castle.Then again I don't think too many people do.

The news upped the fatality total in Japan to 36 now.

Of course the whole story about what is happening in HK has been blacked out in the Mainland.
When I was in Bible School in Canada and they were just talking about the UK giving HK back to
China there was concern about what would happen and that was 15 years before it all happened.

Of course one reason Catalonia wants to secede is because they have a better economy than the rest of Spain.And yeah,it was cobbled together as a nation after the Reconquest.Aragon and Castile were
the main kingdoms and were united with the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella.If she had been married off to the king of Portugal instead history be different.

I watched Finding Your Roots yesterday and they had Derek Jeter on.It was interesting in that they traced his paternal line to a slave named Green Jeter and then did a YDNA test to see if Jeter's
great great grandfather Green was the son of his master a man named James W. Jeter.They compared Derek's YDNA and some of James Jeter's descendants and it proved a match so not only does he have white ancestry on his mother's side but also on his father's.
It was also interesting as he told about growing up always believing he'd be the Yankee shortstop but no-one believed him!

Unsurprisingly, China stands now officially behind the 'independent" HK government's move to put up a selected electoral list. And now the protesters have figured they need the support of banks and companies. It's the only means to pressure China but imho it works only once. Afterwards china is definitely going to take over everything so it's only a temporary delay. It's wouldn't be a x0000 th's time they did takeover companies.

I'm not really sure if it would be that different if she had been married off to the king of Portugal. Most likely there would be only Portugal now instead of both Spain and Portugal. And most likely all of south america would speak portugese. But otherwise I think the conflicts in Europe would end up more or less the same. It would have a lot more impact if the franks/germans were changed somehow. After all, all european royal houses have (partly) german blood. *shrugs*

Derek Jeter, looked white to me and I never thought much about it.

There's a bit of panic int TX due to the ebola case. Let's hope nothing more happens.

Anyway, turkey is going for a referendum to deal with IS. Meaning they create a buffer zone, get in the way of coalition strikes since it would be under their jurisdiction. Of course IS under their custody cannot be attacked.
Looks like german soldiers are stuck in Afghanistan due to aircraft problems. Also I heard the Eurofighter got made with bad(old) rivet techniques effectively halfiing the hull's lifetime. Heh.

The fighting in east Ukraine is picking up again for the airport held by Ukrainian forces. So its not to ending soon for the people on the ground.

There's going to be a blood moon on Wednesday night.Should be interesting to see.

I read where a Red Cross worker was killed by the shelling in Donestk this past week.

Well AFAIG you can't tell unless you see Jeter's parents together.

Looks like they are going to have a new season/series of Nanoha,this one is subtitled
Vivid and the voice of our beloved Mami from Madoka plays the title character!

And speaking of which the new Mami figurine is out.Wish I had $139 to
waste on it and a space to put it too.Of course if I had loads of money
I would spend it on a life size one of Homura and Mami!
