Sam:T, what's your operation? I've missed it somewhere along the way.
Sam, in May I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer, and I've had thirteen infusions of chemo since then, I have no hair, no eyelashes, and the pudenda of an eleven year old girl. Two more chemos to go, then a mastectomy, and then a year of Herceptin and radiation for 45 days.
Fortunately, the chemo they have these days doesn't make people as sick as it used to do, I'm still going to work. I'm an electronics technician, so there's no heavy lifting or walking involved.
The head of Egypt's ruling military council has testified at the trial of former President Hosni Mubarak. Field Marshall Tantawi gave evidence in a court session that lasted about an hour and a half, a lawyer said.
The past and future President of Yemen just returned there, from Saudi Arabia, I do believe.
Yemeni Government Forces Attack Opposition Military Units, Protesters
Forces loyal to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh have taken the offensive Saturday, attacking student protesters and military forces protecting them in the capital Sana'a. Mortar shells pounded the protesters encampment. Clashes between pro- and anti-government forces in Yemen have left at least 40 people dead.
Government forces fired rounds of ammunition and dozens of mortar shells at a student protest camp overnight, causing dozens of casualties. Hundreds of protesters fled in different directions to escape the attack, with some taking shelter inside the nearby university campus.
At least 11 soldiers belonging to opposition General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar's First Armored Division were killed after their positions came under fire according to a spokesman for General Mohsen.
The President, there in Yemen has been with US, for a while now. He gets to run out his string, for now.
Jay Kimbrough, former deputy chancellor of the Texas A&M University System, pulled out a pocket knife and challenged university officials to “bring it on” after being fired this week.
Kimbrough “brandished a knife in a nonthreatening manner,” according to a university police report obtained by The Times, and refused to hand over his keys and pass card, telling two lawyers for the university that “if anyone is man enough to take them, bring it on.”
As Kimbrough, a Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient, was escorted out of the building by campus police, he recited a quote from General Douglas MacArthur: “I shall return.”

Dear L-rd thank you for giving us such perfection to emulate...
The right to a fair trial, the right to vote, the right of property ownership (should be important to you) equal protection under the law--endless rights.
When Lewis and Clark came back from the Pacific, up at Asotin, they were met by Humpsilliet or whatever his name was, back from the south, WITH A NECKLACE OF HUMAN SCALPS AROUND HIS NECK.
The LAW gave us the right to be free of that shit. Your Shrugger outlook was really gone then, taken to its extreme and we are all the better off for it.

Bob, you poor, ignorant fool. My Paternal Bloodline, as evidence by my name, is Dane. My maternal bloodline is English/Dutch. Both outfits got here real early on (not nearly as long ago as my 1/8th Cherokee bloodline, of course.)
Deuce said... It was like the old Soviet Politburo, up and down like a child's jack-in-the-box lest their minders in the press take a photo of them seated.
Now that is a really sick thought...
Didnt LISTEN to the words did ya?
Just another knee jerk smartass remark....
No wonder this blog gets less and less real conversation about issues...
Yeah, Sam, I always say I'm 1/8th; that's what I was led to believe. My brother, a couple of years ago, though, said my grandmother was only 1/4 (I was always told, 1/2.)
Anyways, it's all kind of silly drawing a distinction between Cherokee, and Choctaw, and Seminole, and whatnot. They were all, the best I can make out, for all practical purposes, the same people.
It would be like saying, "I'm not North Central Bavarian, I'm South Central Bavarian. really? :)
That particular group that called themselves "Cherokee" just happened to be living on some real estate that had a little more value than they were able to defend.
The Cherokee would raid other tribes' villages up to several hundred miles away. They would kill, or chase off, the men, and take the younger women, and kids home with them. The Children, would then, be raised as "Cherokee."
All the other tribes, the Choctaw, the Cree, Algonquin, Seminole did the same thing. Thus, over 10,000 yrs, or so, I think it would be hard to distinguish much genetic difference in any of them.
Erdogan spoke about severing ties with Israel in the wake on the UN's Palmer Report – which probed the 2010 raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla – and said that "for the time being I can clearly state that the relations between Israel and Turkey have been broken on the basis of an issue… which began when a flotilla bearing humanitarian aid was trying to get to Gaza.
"It has passengers from 33 countries and was attacked both from the sea and from the air. At the end of these attacks, nine Turkish citizens died… Still to this day no serious attitude has been adopted against Israel for the lives lost there. We are very upset about this.
"It this situation, no matter who we are talking about, democracy, rights, freedom, should be defended," he continued. "If liberty is in question in should be defended. We gave our warning to Israel – this is reason for war. This is something you cannot do in international waters. But as a great state we have been very forgiving.
"That's why we have been very patient. We demanded that they apologize, pay compensation and eliminate the embargo on Gaza once and for all. If these demands are not met relations between Israel and Turkey will never become normal again.
"We have nothing against the people of Israel (only) against the attitude adopted by the administration in Israel. If you are insistent on creating a source of unrest you are bound to become lonelier and lonelier. They used to be great friends of ours. This solitude is Israel's fate under these circumstances. Israel is going to be alone in the region."
Asked about Turkey's past efforts on behalf of a regional peace deal and whether the Israeli government back out of such a deal at the last minute, the Turkish premier said that Ankara had "conveyed its impressions to Mr. Obama… Turkey is very frank in its delivery and we stand behind our remarks.
"Israel was on the brink of admitting to withdrawing to the 1967 borders, a few remarks (in the draft) needed to be corrected and we were working on the documents, but not even a week later Gaza was attacked – Israel did that.
"Here's what being said and this is upsetting to hear: (Israel) says that Palestine is bombing Israel and many Israelis have been killed. I would like to see accurate statistics on how many Israelis have been killed by the bombs thrown by Palestinians or by the rockets that were launched by them. Ten? 20? 100? 200? How many? Please document it and let us know!
"But on the other hand we know that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been killed. Thousands have been killed by the Gaza attack alone. These are very clear numbers.
"The Israeli people are always resorting back to the issue of genocide in history and using that, they are always acting as if they are the victims," he continued. "For that Germany has paid and is still paying… But neither Turkey nor the Muslims in the region… have ever exerted such cruelty on Israel, but Israel is very cruel in that regard. It shows no mercy."
"The Israeli acts are inexplicable. If you want normalization you have to take certain steps to restore peace and stop causing unrest," Erdogan concluded.
The Cherokee land that was lost proved to be extremely valuable. Upon these lands were the alignments for the future rights-of-way for rail and road communications between the eastern Piedmont slopes of the Appalachian Mountains, the Ohio river in Kentucky and the Tennessee river valley at Chattanooga. This location is still a strategic economic asset and is the basis for the tremendous success of Atlanta, Georgia, as a regional transportation and logistics center. Georgia’s appropriation of these lands from the Cherokee kept the wealth out of the hands of the Cherokee Nation.
The Cherokee lands in Georgia were settled upon by the Cherokee for the simple reason that they were and still are the shortest and most easily traversed route between the only fresh water sourced settlement location at the southeastern tip of the Appalachian range (the Chattahoochee River), and the natural passes, ridges, and valleys which lead to the Tennessee river at what is today, Chattanooga.[citation needed] From Chattanooga there was and is the potential for a year-round water transport to St. Louis and the west (via the Ohio and Mississippi rivers), or to as far east as Pittsburgh, PA.
Of course, the fact that Gold was discovered right in the middle of their territory in 1826 didn't help any. :)
Rufus:All the other tribes, the Choctaw, the Cree, Algonquin, Seminole did the same thing. Thus, over 10,000 yrs, or so, I think it would be hard to distinguish much genetic difference in any of them.
Same thing happened in the Levantine shithole. Ammonites, Amalekites, Kenites, Edomites, Israelites, Nephites, Lamanites, any manner of -ites.
WIO was not given keys to the gate because he does not need them. 80-90% of what WIO says is all about Israel. He is often a prolific poster of cut and paste about Israel.
HE WILL POST THAT REGARDLESS OF THE SUBJECT. HE CANNOT HELP HIMSELF.
WIO has full reign to post what he likes. He has been moderated by me no more than 4-5 times. You on the other hand Bob have been moderated many times.
These are not my words. When the question was asked Deuce answered it with this statement. I guess I'm not the only nitwit that doesn't read everything.
It's no secret that politics don't interest me or that I know little about them. Do I feel shameful? Of course I don't. Does it make me any less of a person than anyone here? No, I don't think so.
It doesn't mean that I love my country any less or that I'm oblivious to every political concern out there.
Do I have a right to be here, whether I post about politics or not? You fucking right I do.
The stone I tripped over getting here really opened my eyes to a lot of things. I'm not any more interested in politics than I was four years ago. I also don't sit in front of CNN all day, but it has made me more aware of the things going on in this world that normally I wouldn't consider.

is there any wonder why this blog is getting less and less interesting?

I dont type well, nor do i take the time to spell check.
but MY typo's prove to ash, quirk, rat and rufus my lack of intelligence...

Geez rat get over it.
The ME is full of dicks. Sitting around listening to Turkey talk about what great citizens of the world they have always been is a bit much.
Boy, I step out of the room to make a pizza and grab beer, and come back to being the brainless tart passing through town on a whim.
Thanks for sticking up for me Quirk.
WiO, I don't think the standards between you and me are because "The Blog" thinks I'm a dope or a brainless tart. They may, but they're not rude enough to say. They don't even know me well enough to make that assumption.
I think the reason is plain and simple. You're an ass. So they ride you like one.
She's a bright, cheerful addition to the blog. We all like her a lot. (by the way, we miss you and Q doing the Horoscopes. Why don't you'all get back to work?) :)
You, on the other hand are a completely unlikable, one-sided drudge.
Bizarre, unfathomable screeds about blowing up a City, with women, and children, to nuke a rock? It's embarrassing to all that are unfortunate enough to be associated with such stupidity, and hatred.
Rufus: Bizarre, unfathomable screeds about blowing up a City, with women, and children, to nuke a rock? It's embarrassing to all that are unfortunate enough to be associated with such stupidity, and hatred.
You see that is what is wrong with you. You lie.
Simply put, you distort and out and out LIE.
I advocate the nuking or lasering or kidnapping the black rock of mecca. I have said it at least 24 times that I do not advocate the mass murder of anyone.
I have advocated warning of the innocents to leave the area. (Just as the USA did when they were NUKING entire cities in Japan) except the target I seek is 10 foot by 10 foot and could be delivered in such a way to minimize civilian deaths. I have NEVER advocated the nuking of a city. To say that again, shows what a lying sack of filth you are....
again, distortions and lies that you repeat PROVE you are not honest about discussion.
ahhh, no dude, that is "irony" unlike what rufus would have kids learn in school.

If it makes you folks feel better feel free to remove my name from the frequent poster log as well, i could give a shit....
Unlike Ms T, who makes demands and threatens to leave I make no demands...
The ugly side of several of you is plain to see to the world...
America has used nukes on civilians, America has (under Rufus's Obama) killed thousands in nations we are not even at war with using predator drones, America has carpet bombed cities filled with men, women and babies... America has killed in war hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians in multiple wars....
I advocate the destruction of a rock and I am labeled all sorts of genocidal names...

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has quietly supplied Israel with bombs capable of destroying buried targets, like terrorists’ arms caches or perhaps sites in Iran suspected of being part of that nation’s nuclear weapons program, American officials said Friday.
Amazing what a bunch of hacked off Jewish mothers in Brooklyn-Queens can make a President do.
Turkey Attacks Kurdish Targets in Northern Iraq By SEBNEM ARSU Published: August 18, 2011
ISTANBUL — Turkish warplanes attacked 60 targets in the mountains and border areas of northern Iraq early Thursday in pursuit of Kurdish separatist rebels suspected of responsibility a day earlier for a deadly quadruple bombing ambush on a military convoy in southeast Turkey, the army headquarters said.
Turkish news reports and Kurdish officials in northern Iraq reported more Turkish warplane sorties late Thursday night.
No comment from the bar...

A new Palestine wont be for Palestinian "refugees"
PA: Palestinian 'Refugees' Won't Be Citizens Of 'Palestine' - They'll Still Be 'Refugees'!
This article in Lebanon's Daily Star is a real eye opener for those who think establishing a 'Palestinian' stage is about self-determination for a bunch of refugees, or ending the Arab-Israeli conflict.
It's an interview with an important 'Palestinian' official, Abdullah Abdullah, th ePA's ambassador to Lebanon,where there's a substantial group of those people who identify themselves as 'Palestinian refugees.' And he says in no uncertain terms that the 'Palestinian Authority's' official policy if that refugees in refugee camps will not receive 'Palestinian' citizenship, even if the 'refugees' are already living in the new 'Palestine':
The ambassador unequivocally says that Palestinian refugees would not become citizens of the sought for U.N.-recognized Palestinian state, an issue that has been much discussed. “They are Palestinians, that’s their identity,” he says. “But … they are not automatically citizens.”
This would not only apply to refugees in countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan or the other 132 countries where Abdullah says Palestinians reside. Abdullah said that “even Palestinian refugees who are living in [refugee camps] inside the [Palestinian] state, they are still refugees. They will not be considered citizens.”
Chew that over just for a minute...'Palestinians' living in refugee camps in 'Palestine' are going to remain refugees no matter what!
You see, the idea was never to provide a solution to the refugee problem, or as Abudullah makes clear, to end the conflict. It's to keep these people weaponized in the War Against the Jews, with the end goal to destroy Israel:
Abdullah said that the new Palestinian state would “absolutely not” be issuing Palestinian passports to refugees. ( For obvious reasons..they don't want them to be able to leave).
Neither this definitional status nor U.N. statehood, Abdullah says, would affect the eventual return of refugees to Palestine. “How the issue of the right of return will be solved I don’t know, it’s too early [to say], but it is a sacred right that has to be dealt with and solved [with] the acceptance of all.” He says statehood “will never affect the right of return for Palestinian refugees.”
The right of return that Abdullah says is to be negotiated would not only apply to those Palestinians whose origins are within the 1967 borders of the state, he adds. “The state is the 1967 borders, but the refugees are not only from the 1967 borders. The refugees are from all over Palestine. When we have a state accepted as a member of the United Nations, this is not the end of the conflict. This is not a solution to the conflict. This is only a new framework that will change the rules of the game.”

As for your so called "illness" hope you are not using any Israeli racist invented treatments...
Israeli scientists have identified a substance that can kill cancerous cells without harming healthy ones, paving the way for more effective cancer treatment.
The findings by researchers at Tel Aviv University and Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, were published in the current issue of the international peer-reviewed journal Breast Cancer Research.
"We actually found the Achilles heel of the cancer cell," said Prof. Malka Cohen-Armon from Tel Aviv University, who headed the research team. "As soon as you can target cancerous cells without killing healthy ones, you can produce medications that would cause a lot less suffering to the patient. We can even give a much more aggressive treatment without worrying about harming healthy tissues."
The substance identified by the researchers, which delays cell proliferation in healthy and cancerous cells, is a component of a drug developed a decade ago to preserve nerve cells and prevent them from dying after a stroke.
But while the drug causes the rapid death of cancer cells, healthy cells activate a mechanism that overcomes the delay in proliferation within hours, and those cells continue to proliferate exactly like cells not exposed to the substance.
Cohen-Armon said the drug's effectiveness in treating cancer cells was discovered accidentally.
"I'm not even a cancer researcher," she said. "But two years ago an article we published on various functions in the cell got me interested in cancer cells."
She said the scientists involved in the discovery - who include doctoral student Asher Castiel and Professor Shai Izraeli's research group at the Sheba Cancer Research Center - haven't figured out why the drug affects the cells the way it does.
"We don't even fully understand why this is happening, but we see cancerous cells die and healthy cells overcome this obstacle," said Cohen-Armon. "They somehow find a way to proliferate even in the presence of the substance."
She said the drug was tested on several types of cancer, but so far only the breast cancer tests results have been published.
Cancer Fraud: People Who Fake Illness to Scam Others, Gain Sympathy, Get Rich, and Avoid Other Problems Pulling on heartstrings - and wallets - to make a buck. Published on January 28, 2010 by Joni E. Johnston, Psy.D. in The Human Equation I came across this article yesterday and just couldn’t get my arms around it. A Baltimore apparently woman lied for months to friends and former high school classmates about having terminal stomach cancer and duped them into grant her dying wishes.
It made more sense when I learned she had a criminal history that included various and sundry other forms of fraud. Surely, I thought, she is a rare example of the dregs of human nature.
When I typed “cancer fraud” into Google, I quickly found out that she is no lone ranger. Looking at just the first 200 results (out of over 14 million possible), here are just a few of the characters I came across:
Melissa Rice, a 24 year old woman who fooled national cancer foundations into donating thousands of dollars and gifts to her by pretending to be a 15-year-old boy with brain cancer named Jonathan Jay White. Victoria Gotti, who, after telling the world on TV she was battling breast cancer (including a resultant 25 lb. weight loss and chronic exhaustion) was forced to retract her claims when it turns out she’d actually had precancerous cells that did not require immediate treatment. Michael Guglielmucci, an Australian youth minister who’d inspired hundreds of thousands of young Christians with his very public terminal cancer "battle" of two years (including an appearance on YouTube with an oxygen tube in his nose) admitted he was perfectly healthy. Heather Faria, a 27 year-old teacher, who spent the 37,000 her friends and family raised for her alleged cancer treatment on a fancy vacation, huge TV screen, and jewelry. Howard Richman, a former vice president who faked cancer for three years in order to avoid an SEC investigation.
I couldn’t find any studies specifically related to cancer fraud so I’ll tell you some of my impressions after reviewing several cases. Some of the fakers (it seemed to be about half) had a history as scam artists; for these, cancer fraud seemed to be just another step down the ladder of depravity. Others clearly had a secondary motive, whether it was to avoid or delay consequences (such as our vice president above) or gain something else (One woman faked cancer to get her community to fund her boob job).
Interestingly, some of the people seemed to almost accidentally stumble upon their scheme. They experienced a medical scare, suffered from another chronic (but much less serious disease) or had even been successfully treated for cancer and somehow they sympathy they received, or the financial assistance, planted the seed that then grew. Then there were the attention-seekers, who seemed to just want to bask in the spotlight of sympathy for as long as possible.
Clashes were reported Friday in Bahrain's capital on the eve of parliamentary elections in the country.
Security forces were sent to rallies to deal with what the Interior Ministry called "illegal acts which resulted from demonstrations," the state news agency reported.
The ministry said that saboteurs and outlaws stormed the City Center mall in Manama Friday afternoon, "intent on sowing chaos and terrorizing shoppers," according to the Bahrain News Agency. Those arrested will face legal action, officials said. The ministry blamed the rallies on "instigative calls posted on social networking sites."

desert rat said... We'll send the Jews to Gaza and the Gazans to Jerusalem.
Vaporizing the Wailing Wall, along with the Dome, leaving no chance that another Jewish Temple could ever be rebuilt, there.
Assuring that Christ will not return, to the Levant, but will arrive in Branson, Missouri, on schedule.
I could care less if the temple is rebuilt, the real problem is that the moment you send the Jews to Gaza the land value will rise and the arabs will claim it as theirs....
But your understanding of the religion of Judaism reminds me of a match book cover guide to physics.
You just dont have any REAL knowledge.
You just read comic books put out by the Aryan Nation and think you are an expert....
Now truthfully? you make so many errors about Jews, Israel and their history I choose NOT to correct you JUST so you will continue to sound like the ignorant pussbucket you are....
Boo fucking hoo... the western wall would be destroyed....
Swearing is beneficial in ways that people may underestimate or take for granted. Swearing is often cathartic — it often frees us of the feelings of anger or frustration we hold and allows expression for them. It can also be a useful substitute to physical violence (who would rather be punched out than to withstand being sworn at?).
Rat, you are a motherfucker low life...
Yep feels good...
Rat, you asshole, you lying sack of shit...
Yep it fits....
Rat you are a scum sucking lying piece of garbage...
Not as good..
No using swear words to discuss your lack of moral fiber is accurate and profane....
The normalcy bias, or normality bias, refers to a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of the government to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.
Yep Rat, you do a great service to many whose "rose colored" glasses needed to be ripped off...
Please continue your daily attacks against Israel & Jews, you are educating the vast majority of Jews whose " normalcy bias" cant imagine a low life asshole like you actually still exists....
Europeon colonists in the Middle East, I disdain those that after they arrived in the Levant, follow NAZI population management techniques well practiced in Poland, in Gaza.
But that, I do believe, has nothing to do with the religion of the oppressors.
It just exemplifies their hate for their "other" cousin.
Update 1 FEB 2007 - The Stolen Valor Act is passed, and effective December 2006 it is a Federal offense to wear of claim to have earned US medals:
Under the Stolen Valor Act it is now a Federal Offense, punishable by up to $5,000 fine and six months in jail (double that if the offense involves valor awards or the Purple Heart), to claim VERBALLY or in WRITING, to have received any military award you did not.
If you know anyone who has made false claims of valor, contact the FBI immediately and INSIST that they arrest the offender.
Tracking arrests under the Stolen Valor Act
The pown Network web site has a list of heroes of villains and they are tracking arrests under the Stolen valor act. Now, these guys are real heroes.
I see your George Washington and raise you a Patton
Patton had a unique ability regarding profanity. During a normal conversation, he could liberally sprinkle four letter words into what he was saying and the listeners would hardly take notice of it. He spoke so easily and used those words in such a way that it just seemed natural for him to talk that way.
He could, when necessary, open up with both barrels and let forth such blue-flamed phrases that they seemed almost eloquent in their delivery. When asked by his nephew about his profanity, Patton remarked, "When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight it's way out of a piss-soaked paper bag."
"As for the types of comments I make", he continued with a wry smile, "Sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence."
In Bear Attack, Hunter Killed Hunter, Autopsy Shows

It will be co-located with their Emmetsburg, Ia, Corn Ethanol Plant, and will produce enough biogas from the left-over lignin to power the Cellulosic Plant, and mostly power the corn ethanol plant.
First the news on Abengoa - Hugoton, and, now, Poet - Emmetsburg.
Poet is an extremely well-run company, and, with cellulosic plants co-located with all of their corn ethanol plants is hoping to produce something like a Billion Gallons of Ethanol from corn cobs, and stover per year.
The neat thing about Poet is, they built about half of the corn ethanol plants in the country. They will be able to build cheaply, right from the start.
Also, Jeff Broin is a conservative businessman, operating on his own money. The Loan Guarantee just means he'll pay a little less interest. If it went bad he would still have to pay the loan out of his own pocket.
The fact that he's doing this means he's convinced that he can do what he's trying to do; and, with 25 years in the business, he his judgement is way above average in all things, ethanol.
Successful, enzymatic, small-to-medium sized cellulosic plants are, truly, the key to the Kingdom in getting loose from Foreign Oil, and our horrible balance of payments, and high cost/mile of private transportation.
Now, I'm waiting for that first car from Ford, or GM truly optimized for max ethanol performance. I figure: within the year.

Wio, as all the other commenters at the EB are given a latitude of opportunity to post what they like, when they like and as often as they like, rarely with comment from me as to diversion of subject and frequency of comments.
Try that at some other blogs.
There are few events that do not get discussed at the EB, serious and frivolous. There are plenty of blogs that devote themselves exclusively to single subjects with very stringent rules on posting. They also get very few comments.
The mega-blogs get loads of comments but any single participant gets lost in the chaff. Try the Huffington Post if you want to disappear into the Blogger Protection Program.
Here are my few rules:
You will not get away with talking about anyone's family.
You will not get away with trying to publicly identify any participant.
If you can't stand the place but wish to maintain your masochistic standards, stay. If life and the EB get you down, try a change of pace.

ReplyDeleteSam: T, what's your operation? I've missed it somewhere along the way.
ReplyDeleteSam, in May I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer, and I've had thirteen infusions of chemo since then, I have no hair, no eyelashes, and the pudenda of an eleven year old girl. Two more chemos to go, then a mastectomy, and then a year of Herceptin and radiation for 45 days.
Fortunately, the chemo they have these days doesn't make people as sick as it used to do, I'm still going to work. I'm an electronics technician, so there's no heavy lifting or walking involved.

ReplyDeleteYemeni Government Forces Attack Opposition Military Units, Protesters
Forces loyal to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh have taken the offensive Saturday, attacking student protesters and military forces protecting them in the capital Sana'a. Mortar shells pounded the protesters encampment. Clashes between pro- and anti-government forces in Yemen have left at least 40 people dead.
Government forces fired rounds of ammunition and dozens of mortar shells at a student protest camp overnight, causing dozens of casualties. Hundreds of protesters fled in different directions to escape the attack, with some taking shelter inside the nearby university campus.
At least 11 soldiers belonging to opposition General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar's First Armored Division were killed after their positions came under fire according to a spokesman for General Mohsen.
The President, there in Yemen has been with US, for a while now. He gets to run out his string, for now.

ReplyDeleteJay Kimbrough, former deputy chancellor of the Texas A&M University System, pulled out a pocket knife and challenged university officials to “bring it on” after being fired this week.
Kimbrough “brandished a knife in a nonthreatening manner,” according to a university police report obtained by The Times, and refused to hand over his keys and pass card, telling two lawyers for the university that “if anyone is man enough to take them, bring it on.”
As Kimbrough, a Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient, was escorted out of the building by campus police, he recited a quote from General Douglas MacArthur: “I shall return.”

Yeah, Sam, I always say I'm 1/8th; that's what I was led to believe. My brother, a couple of years ago, though, said my grandmother was only 1/4 (I was always told, 1/2.)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, it's all kind of silly drawing a distinction between Cherokee, and Choctaw, and Seminole, and whatnot. They were all, the best I can make out, for all practical purposes, the same people.
It would be like saying, "I'm not North Central Bavarian, I'm South Central Bavarian. really? :)

ReplyDeleteBob, your lawyer needs to see a psychologist.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds a bit cultist.
That particular group that called themselves "Cherokee" just happened to be living on some real estate that had a little more value than they were able to defend.
ReplyDeleteThe Cherokee would raid other tribes' villages up to several hundred miles away. They would kill, or chase off, the men, and take the younger women, and kids home with them. The Children, would then, be raised as "Cherokee."
ReplyDeleteAll the other tribes, the Choctaw, the Cree, Algonquin, Seminole did the same thing. Thus, over 10,000 yrs, or so, I think it would be hard to distinguish much genetic difference in any of them.
ReplyDeleteErdogan spoke about severing ties with Israel in the wake on the UN's Palmer Report – which probed the 2010 raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla – and said that "for the time being I can clearly state that the relations between Israel and Turkey have been broken on the basis of an issue… which began when a flotilla bearing humanitarian aid was trying to get to Gaza.
"It has passengers from 33 countries and was attacked both from the sea and from the air. At the end of these attacks, nine Turkish citizens died… Still to this day no serious attitude has been adopted against Israel for the lives lost there. We are very upset about this.
"It this situation, no matter who we are talking about, democracy, rights, freedom, should be defended," he continued. "If liberty is in question in should be defended. We gave our warning to Israel – this is reason for war. This is something you cannot do in international waters. But as a great state we have been very forgiving.
"That's why we have been very patient. We demanded that they apologize, pay compensation and eliminate the embargo on Gaza once and for all. If these demands are not met relations between Israel and Turkey will never become normal again.
"We have nothing against the people of Israel (only) against the attitude adopted by the administration in Israel. If you are insistent on creating a source of unrest you are bound to become lonelier and lonelier. They used to be great friends of ours. This solitude is Israel's fate under these circumstances. Israel is going to be alone in the region."
ReplyDeleteAsked about Turkey's past efforts on behalf of a regional peace deal and whether the Israeli government back out of such a deal at the last minute, the Turkish premier said that Ankara had "conveyed its impressions to Mr. Obama… Turkey is very frank in its delivery and we stand behind our remarks.
"Israel was on the brink of admitting to withdrawing to the 1967 borders, a few remarks (in the draft) needed to be corrected and we were working on the documents, but not even a week later Gaza was attacked – Israel did that.
"Here's what being said and this is upsetting to hear: (Israel) says that Palestine is bombing Israel and many Israelis have been killed. I would like to see accurate statistics on how many Israelis have been killed by the bombs thrown by Palestinians or by the rockets that were launched by them. Ten? 20? 100? 200? How many? Please document it and let us know!
"But on the other hand we know that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been killed. Thousands have been killed by the Gaza attack alone. These are very clear numbers.
"The Israeli people are always resorting back to the issue of genocide in history and using that, they are always acting as if they are the victims," he continued. "For that Germany has paid and is still paying… But neither Turkey nor the Muslims in the region… have ever exerted such cruelty on Israel, but Israel is very cruel in that regard. It shows no mercy."
"The Israeli acts are inexplicable. If you want normalization you have to take certain steps to restore peace and stop causing unrest," Erdogan concluded.
The Cherokee land that was lost proved to be extremely valuable. Upon these lands were the alignments for the future rights-of-way for rail and road communications between the eastern Piedmont slopes of the Appalachian Mountains, the Ohio river in Kentucky and the Tennessee river valley at Chattanooga. This location is still a strategic economic asset and is the basis for the tremendous success of Atlanta, Georgia, as a regional transportation and logistics center. Georgia’s appropriation of these lands from the Cherokee kept the wealth out of the hands of the Cherokee Nation.
ReplyDeleteThe Cherokee lands in Georgia were settled upon by the Cherokee for the simple reason that they were and still are the shortest and most easily traversed route between the only fresh water sourced settlement location at the southeastern tip of the Appalachian range (the Chattahoochee River), and the natural passes, ridges, and valleys which lead to the Tennessee river at what is today, Chattanooga.[citation needed] From Chattanooga there was and is the potential for a year-round water transport to St. Louis and the west (via the Ohio and Mississippi rivers), or to as far east as Pittsburgh, PA.
Of course, the fact that Gold was discovered right in the middle of their territory in 1826 didn't help any. :)
Rufus: All the other tribes, the Choctaw, the Cree, Algonquin, Seminole did the same thing. Thus, over 10,000 yrs, or so, I think it would be hard to distinguish much genetic difference in any of them.
ReplyDeleteSame thing happened in the Levantine shithole. Ammonites, Amalekites, Kenites, Edomites, Israelites, Nephites, Lamanites, any manner of -ites.
WIO was not given keys to the gate because he does not need them. 80-90% of what WIO says is all about Israel. He is often a prolific poster of cut and paste about Israel.
ReplyDeleteHE WILL POST THAT REGARDLESS OF THE SUBJECT. HE CANNOT HELP HIMSELF.
WIO has full reign to post what he likes. He has been moderated by me no more than 4-5 times. You on the other hand Bob have been moderated many times.
These are not my words. When the question was asked Deuce answered it with this statement. I guess I'm not the only nitwit that doesn't read everything.
This place is a bonafide Charley foxtrot.
ReplyDeleteIt's no secret that politics don't interest me or that I know little about them. Do I feel shameful? Of course I don't. Does it make me any less of a person than anyone here? No, I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't mean that I love my country any less or that I'm oblivious to every political concern out there.
Do I have a right to be here, whether I post about politics or not? You fucking right I do.

ReplyDeleteYou see that is what is wrong with you. You lie.
Simply put, you distort and out and out LIE.
I advocate the nuking or lasering or kidnapping the black rock of mecca. I have said it at least 24 times that I do not advocate the mass murder of anyone.
I have advocated warning of the innocents to leave the area. (Just as the USA did when they were NUKING entire cities in Japan) except the target I seek is 10 foot by 10 foot and could be delivered in such a way to minimize civilian deaths. I have NEVER advocated the nuking of a city. To say that again, shows what a lying sack of filth you are....

Personally the LAST thing i wish is to see my handle up on this blog's bartender's roll, really why would I?
If it makes you folks feel better feel free to remove my name from the frequent poster log as well, i could give a shit....
Unlike Ms T, who makes demands and threatens to leave I make no demands...
The ugly side of several of you is plain to see to the world...
America has used nukes on civilians, America has (under Rufus's Obama) killed thousands in nations we are not even at war with using predator drones, America has carpet bombed cities filled with men, women and babies... America has killed in war hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians in multiple wars....

Thanks for sticking up for me Quirk.
WiO, I don't think the standards between you and me are because "The Blog" thinks I'm a dope or a brainless tart. They may, but they're not rude enough to say. They don't even know me well enough to make that assumption.
I think the reason is plain and simple. You're an ass. So they ride you like one.

ReplyDeleteTurkey Attacks Kurdish Targets in Northern Iraq
By SEBNEM ARSU
Published: August 18, 2011
ISTANBUL — Turkish warplanes attacked 60 targets in the mountains and border areas of northern Iraq early Thursday in pursuit of Kurdish separatist rebels suspected of responsibility a day earlier for a deadly quadruple bombing ambush on a military convoy in southeast Turkey, the army headquarters said.
Turkish news reports and Kurdish officials in northern Iraq reported more Turkish warplane sorties late Thursday night.

A new Palestine wont be for Palestinian "refugees"
ReplyDeletePA: Palestinian 'Refugees' Won't Be Citizens Of 'Palestine' - They'll Still Be 'Refugees'!
This article in Lebanon's Daily Star is a real eye opener for those who think establishing a 'Palestinian' stage is about self-determination for a bunch of refugees, or ending the Arab-Israeli conflict.
It's an interview with an important 'Palestinian' official, Abdullah Abdullah, th ePA's ambassador to Lebanon,where there's a substantial group of those people who identify themselves as 'Palestinian refugees.' And he says in no uncertain terms that the 'Palestinian Authority's' official policy if that refugees in refugee camps will not receive 'Palestinian' citizenship, even if the 'refugees' are already living in the new 'Palestine':
The ambassador unequivocally says that Palestinian refugees would not become citizens of the sought for U.N.-recognized Palestinian state, an issue that has been much discussed. “They are Palestinians, that’s their identity,” he says. “But … they are not automatically citizens.”
This would not only apply to refugees in countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan or the other 132 countries where Abdullah says Palestinians reside. Abdullah said that “even Palestinian refugees who are living in [refugee camps] inside the [Palestinian] state, they are still refugees. They will not be considered citizens.”
Chew that over just for a minute...'Palestinians' living in refugee camps in 'Palestine' are going to remain refugees no matter what!
You see, the idea was never to provide a solution to the refugee problem, or as Abudullah makes clear, to end the conflict. It's to keep these people weaponized in the War Against the Jews, with the end goal to destroy Israel:
Abdullah said that the new Palestinian state would “absolutely not” be issuing Palestinian passports to refugees. ( For obvious reasons..they don't want them to be able to leave).
Neither this definitional status nor U.N. statehood, Abdullah says, would affect the eventual return of refugees to Palestine. “How the issue of the right of return will be solved I don’t know, it’s too early [to say], but it is a sacred right that has to be dealt with and solved [with] the acceptance of all.” He says statehood “will never affect the right of return for Palestinian refugees.”
The right of return that Abdullah says is to be negotiated would not only apply to those Palestinians whose origins are within the 1967 borders of the state, he adds. “The state is the 1967 borders, but the refugees are not only from the 1967 borders. The refugees are from all over Palestine. When we have a state accepted as a member of the United Nations, this is not the end of the conflict. This is not a solution to the conflict. This is only a new framework that will change the rules of the game.”

Already in the pipeline from George Bush, as for your comment about "hacked off jewish mothers"?
You aint seen anything yet...
As for your so called "illness" hope you are not using any Israeli racist invented treatments...
Israeli scientists have identified a substance that can kill cancerous cells without harming healthy ones, paving the way for more effective cancer treatment.
The findings by researchers at Tel Aviv University and Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, were published in the current issue of the international peer-reviewed journal Breast Cancer Research.
"We actually found the Achilles heel of the cancer cell," said Prof. Malka Cohen-Armon from Tel Aviv University, who headed the research team. "As soon as you can target cancerous cells without killing healthy ones, you can produce medications that would cause a lot less suffering to the patient. We can even give a much more aggressive treatment without worrying about harming healthy tissues."
The substance identified by the researchers, which delays cell proliferation in healthy and cancerous cells, is a component of a drug developed a decade ago to preserve nerve cells and prevent them from dying after a stroke.
But while the drug causes the rapid death of cancer cells, healthy cells activate a mechanism that overcomes the delay in proliferation within hours, and those cells continue to proliferate exactly like cells not exposed to the substance.
Cohen-Armon said the drug's effectiveness in treating cancer cells was discovered accidentally.
"I'm not even a cancer researcher," she said. "But two years ago an article we published on various functions in the cell got me interested in cancer cells."
She said the scientists involved in the discovery - who include doctoral student Asher Castiel and Professor Shai Izraeli's research group at the Sheba Cancer Research Center - haven't figured out why the drug affects the cells the way it does.
"We don't even fully understand why this is happening, but we see cancerous cells die and healthy cells overcome this obstacle," said Cohen-Armon. "They somehow find a way to proliferate even in the presence of the substance."
She said the drug was tested on several types of cancer, but so far only the breast cancer tests results have been published.
Now Rat advocates the nuking of the Dome of the Rock...
ReplyDeleteinteresting...

Cancer Fraud: People Who Fake Illness to Scam Others, Gain Sympathy, Get Rich, and Avoid Other Problems
ReplyDeletePulling on heartstrings - and wallets - to make a buck.
Published on January 28, 2010 by Joni E. Johnston, Psy.D. in The Human Equation
I came across this article yesterday and just couldn’t get my arms around it. A Baltimore apparently woman lied for months to friends and former high school classmates about having terminal stomach cancer and duped them into grant her dying wishes.
It made more sense when I learned she had a criminal history that included various and sundry other forms of fraud. Surely, I thought, she is a rare example of the dregs of human nature.
When I typed “cancer fraud” into Google, I quickly found out that she is no lone ranger. Looking at just the first 200 results (out of over 14 million possible), here are just a few of the characters I came across:
Melissa Rice, a 24 year old woman who fooled national cancer foundations into donating thousands of dollars and gifts to her by pretending to be a 15-year-old boy with brain cancer named Jonathan Jay White.
Victoria Gotti, who, after telling the world on TV she was battling breast cancer (including a resultant 25 lb. weight loss and chronic exhaustion) was forced to retract her claims when it turns out she’d actually had precancerous cells that did not require immediate treatment.
Michael Guglielmucci, an Australian youth minister who’d inspired hundreds of thousands of young Christians with his very public terminal cancer "battle" of two years (including an appearance on YouTube with an oxygen tube in his nose) admitted he was perfectly healthy.
Heather Faria, a 27 year-old teacher, who spent the 37,000 her friends and family raised for her alleged cancer treatment on a fancy vacation, huge TV screen, and jewelry.
Howard Richman, a former vice president who faked cancer for three years in order to avoid an SEC investigation.
What’s the Motive for Fraud?
ReplyDeleteI couldn’t find any studies specifically related to cancer fraud so I’ll tell you some of my impressions after reviewing several cases. Some of the fakers (it seemed to be about half) had a history as scam artists; for these, cancer fraud seemed to be just another step down the ladder of depravity. Others clearly had a secondary motive, whether it was to avoid or delay consequences (such as our vice president above) or gain something else (One woman faked cancer to get her community to fund her boob job).
Interestingly, some of the people seemed to almost accidentally stumble upon their scheme. They experienced a medical scare, suffered from another chronic (but much less serious disease) or had even been successfully treated for cancer and somehow they sympathy they received, or the financial assistance, planted the seed that then grew. Then there were the attention-seekers, who seemed to just want to bask in the spotlight of sympathy for as long as possible.

Clashes were reported Friday in Bahrain's capital on the eve of parliamentary elections in the country.
ReplyDeleteSecurity forces were sent to rallies to deal with what the Interior Ministry called "illegal acts which resulted from demonstrations," the state news agency reported.
The ministry said that saboteurs and outlaws stormed the City Center mall in Manama Friday afternoon, "intent on sowing chaos and terrorizing shoppers," according to the Bahrain News Agency. Those arrested will face legal action, officials said. The ministry blamed the rallies on "instigative calls posted on social networking sites."

Swearing is beneficial in ways that people may underestimate or take for granted. Swearing is often cathartic — it often frees us of the feelings of anger or frustration we hold and allows expression for them. It can also be a useful substitute to physical violence (who would rather be punched out than to withstand being sworn at?).

Rat is owed a thank you....
ReplyDeleteThe normalcy bias, or normality bias, refers to a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of the government to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.
Yep Rat, you do a great service to many whose "rose colored" glasses needed to be ripped off...
Please continue your daily attacks against Israel & Jews, you are educating the vast majority of Jews whose " normalcy bias" cant imagine a low life asshole like you actually still exists....

Under the Stolen Valor Act it is now a Federal Offense, punishable by up to $5,000 fine and six months in jail (double that if the offense involves valor awards or the Purple Heart), to claim VERBALLY or in WRITING, to have received any military award you did not.
If you know anyone who has made false claims of valor, contact the FBI immediately and INSIST that they arrest the offender.

ReplyDeletePatton had a unique ability regarding profanity. During a normal conversation, he could liberally sprinkle four letter words into what he was saying and the listeners would hardly take notice of it. He spoke so easily and used those words in such a way that it just seemed natural for him to talk that way.
He could, when necessary, open up with both barrels and let forth such blue-flamed phrases that they seemed almost eloquent in their delivery. When asked by his nephew about his profanity, Patton remarked, "When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight it's way out of a piss-soaked paper bag."
"As for the types of comments I make", he continued with a wry smile, "Sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence."
Yep Fuck you Rat...

Well, finally, some true "Sunny Side" News:
ReplyDeletePoet has fiinally closed on their Loan Guarantee, and have started construction on their 25 Million Gallon/Yr Cellulosic Ethanol Plant.
It will be co-located with their Emmetsburg, Ia, Corn Ethanol Plant, and will produce enough biogas from the left-over lignin to power the Cellulosic Plant, and mostly power the corn ethanol plant.
First the news on Abengoa - Hugoton, and, now, Poet - Emmetsburg.
Hot Damn. Now this gets me excited.
Poet is an extremely well-run company, and, with cellulosic plants co-located with all of their corn ethanol plants is hoping to produce something like a Billion Gallons of Ethanol from corn cobs, and stover per year.
ReplyDeleteThe neat thing about Poet is, they built about half of the corn ethanol plants in the country. They will be able to build cheaply, right from the start.
Also, Jeff Broin is a conservative businessman, operating on his own money. The Loan Guarantee just means he'll pay a little less interest. If it went bad he would still have to pay the loan out of his own pocket.
The fact that he's doing this means he's convinced that he can do what he's trying to do; and, with 25 years in the business, he his judgement is way above average in all things, ethanol.
This is not a happy day for Saudi Arabia, Hugo Chavez, and the Seven Sisters. :)
