Life can be a crapshoot. Even if you have a high level of situational awareness, and you go out of your way to avoid bad parts of town after dark, you still might find yourself unexpectedly confronted at some point in your life by a thug or a "gangsta" wielding a knife or a gun. Tonight, an expert in hand-to-hand combat shows us a couple of basic but highly effective self-defense techniques that will have your attacker saying "uh-oh!"

"René Guénon: The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times"
"This is one of Guénon's most important books. It considers how modern philosophy and science, and their accompanying notions of progress and evolution, have eroded traditional society, placing quantity (e.g., wealth, mass production) above quality (e.g., wisdom, the crafts), and the material above the spiritual."

Wow! If the "World's Largest Turd" can see the light at the end of the toilette bowl; then perhaps there is hope after all.
Yeah, yeah, I know... wishful thinking. Still, it's a surpising comment none the less.
Have a laugh

found in all corners of the earth."
Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!
Hey World, do you know that Kate McMillan in Delisle Saskatchewan is now in possession of the "Only Known Photograph of James and Johannah Donnelly, Irish settlers on the "Roaman LIne" , murdered in Biddulph Township near Lucan Ontario on February 4, 1880by vigilantes ?

"Windpark To Nowhere…22,000 Litres Of Diesel Fuel Burned Every Month To Keep Windpark From Rusting Away!"
"Germany has ambitious plans of erecting huge offshore wind parks in the North and Baltic Seas with the hope of generating lots of natural, climate-friendly energy. The Riffgat offshore wind park, comprising 30 monster turbines located some 15 kilometers from the North Sea island of Borkum, is such a wind park."
"And because the wind park is not allowed to remain idle, diesel generators must keep the wind park in motion: The sensitive motors that are to convert the wind into energy must run continuously. Otherwise there’s a threat of corrosion from the salty air."

"Not a single person showed up at the Georgetown waterfront Tuesday for a climate change agenda event put on by Organizing for Action, the shadowy nonprofit advocacy group born out of President Obama’s 2012 campaign, the NRCC wrote in its blog.
The event page for the “Climate Change Day of Action Rally” disappeared after rainy weather appeared to drive away whatever people planned to attend. The embarrassing showing follows the news that only one volunteer stayed for an OFA Obamacare event in Centreville, Va., last week to work the phones:"

"Yesterday a clown who dressed up to look like President Obama was was banned for life from performing for the American public after engaging in shocking antics that outraged many viewers.
The Tatler has obtained these exclusive photos of the clown’s career-ending performance:
During his insensitive performance, the clown frequently contorted his body into ridiculous poses in order to make the president look like a buffoon.
