Army Master Sergeant Illegally Arrested For Open Carry

chingalera says...

Notoriously redneck county-Ft. Hood...Killeen....These cops are redneck chumps who know the law and are exercising their rights to be pieces of shit.

Anyone can walk down the street in any county in Texas legally, with a long arm (rifle or shotgun).

Remember....Kileen has a history of mayhem, first the Luby's, then the whackjob at Ft. Hood.

WATCH, as the sub-human thugs try to combine the handful of braincells available between them to try and remember State laws

noam chomsky-how climate change became a liberal hoax

ksven47 says...

On a daily basis, politicians, like Obama, and pundits in the lamestream media mindlessly bump their gums about global warming, uh... "climate change" (the term employed when the earth stopped warming), without having the slightest idea what they are talking about. Most simply parrot the line about a "so-called "consensus of scientists," without the slightest knowledge of the science or data, or point to extreme weather events as “proof.” Al Gore and Henry Waxman have become masters at this. Noam Chomsky should stick to linguistics. Once he ventures outside of his specialty, he’s just a run-of-the-mill leftist loon.

Science does not operate on the basis of consensus, but provable fact and hard DATA that is replicable. No one can prove that C02 causes warming, apart from the other forces that are chiefly determinative of climate--solar output, cosmic rays (and their effect on cloud cover), the earth's elliptical orbit, its axial tilt, etc. The earth's climate cycle has been in place for eons and is not being altered by any significant degree by anthropogenic CO2. In fact, 99% of the people who believe in the "global warming crisis" cannot even tell you what the current globally-averaged temperature is, nor how much it may have risen over the past century (or any other time frame for that matter). Nor do they know that the current globally averaged temperature is 1-2 degrees C below what it was during the Medieval Warm Period, when human activity could not have been a factor.

Neither temperatures nor sea level rise are accelerating. Temperatures haven't risen since 1997. And even the U.N. predicts just an 8.5" to 18.5" sea level rise by 2100 (2007 IPCC Report), far below the 20 feet predicted by Al Gore, or the 35 feet predicted by Joe Lieberman in 2002. In fact, sea levels have been rising at a rate of about 7" per century since the end of the last age 12,500 years ago, so the U.N.'s predicted range is likely to fall at the low end.

Weather stations around the world are notoriously unreliable, many placed in locations now near asphalt parking lots, etc., replicating the urban island heat effect. Calculating the globally averaged temperature in an enormously complex task. compounded when scientific frauds like Phil Jones and Michael Mann (of the infamous "hockey stick" graph) hide, and would not supply, their data because it does not support their predetermined conclusions of anthropogenic global warming. (Climategate). This is not surprising, however, since thousands of scientists stand to collectively lose billions in federal research grants if the hoax is exposed (more than $80 billion has already been spent on such research, nearly 500 times what oil companies have spent to fund so-called “skeptics”), a fact totally lost, or grossly misrepresented, by global warming religionists.

The fact is: even if the earth's temperature is rising marginally, from natural forces, it will be far better for mankind than falling temperatures. It will result in higher crop yields and less death around the world. More than twice as many people die of extreme cold than extreme heat.

Contrary to morons such as Al Gore (who will never agree to debate the topic, so fearful is he of getting his clock cleaned), scientific evidence clearly shows that we have had no increase in extreme weather events. Dr. Roger Pielke Jr., Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado, summed up the latest science on weather extremes when he wrote that “There is no evidence that disasters are getting worse because of climate change....There's really no evidence that we're in the midst of an extreme weather era - whether man has influenced climate or not,”
Pielke also explained that the data does not support linking Hurricane Sandy to man-made global warming. “Sandy was terrible, but we're currently in a relative hurricane 'drought'.” But that doesn’t stop politicians from trying to make political hay from them.

Much of the gum bumping about "global warming" may be attributed to the political aspirations of Al Gore who hoped to ride an environmental white horse into the White House. It all comes down to a politically-motivated overreaction to a 0.35 degree C increase in globally-averaged temperatures in the period from 1978-1997. Since 1998, temperatures have flat-lined. They are now at 14.5 degrees Celsius which is exactly where they were in 1997. What this amounted to was a hyperbolic response to a temporary and cyclical climate phenomenon, which has been replicated a myriad of times in human history.

The climate history of the 20th century, by itself, contradicts the CO2 equals warming hypothesis. From 1913-1945, CO2 was not a factor and temperatures rose slightly. And from 1945-1977, temperatures fell in the face of rising CO2. It was only in the period from 1978-1997 that temperatures and CO2 rose simultaneously. But since CO2 is likely to continue to rise for the foreseeable future, we will have periods of both rising and falling temperatures in the face of rising CO2.

The scientific travesty is that many politicians are trying to transform CO2 into a “pollutant” requiring draconian federal regulations whose only effect will be to stifle economic growth. CO2 is a harmless trace element constituting just 0.039 per cent of the earth's atmosphere (390 parts per million by volume). It's what humans and animals exhale and its presence helps plant production. 500 million years ago, CO was 20 times more prevalent in our atmosphere. The aim is to convince the uninformed that carbon dioxide is the equivalent of carbon monoxide, a highly toxic gas.

With time and historical perspective, the global warming crisis will turn out to be the greatest scientific fraud in history. But that won’t politicians from exploiting it in the short term.

True Facts About The Tapir - zefrank

grinter says...

Two more fun facts about Tapirs (and yes, these are scientifically accurate):
1) Tapirs can spray urine for several meters and are notorious for urinating on people.
2) Tapirs are usually quite docile, but have a viscous bite which can easily do enough damage to kill a human.

Gorilla vs. Goose

MichaelL says...

Swans can be pretty vicious too. A nearby lake was notorious for the big motherfrakkin' swan that would go out of its way to terrorize anyone who came to the beach there.
That said, an easy way to scare them off... use a blanket, jacket, or similar and hold it up in front of you like a wall and advance on them. Better yet, if you shake it slightly like you're closing in to pounce.
Like most animals they will react to your increased size by backing away.

CNN Sympathizes with High School Rapists

chingalera says...

No arekin, what you are watching is a standard hack journalism piece form an news org notorious for such tripe-"Poppy Harlow" here (pretentious and douchey female-reporter name), is attempting to infuse the story with some heart-wrenching emotionalism and grave tone..
It's a rape honey, cut to the sentencing segment as you spin the tale of these poor athletes with their lives ahead of them who double-teamed someone without her consent. Get a shot of the big, blubbering one there as his counsel consoles him!

Where's more Waldo in this unprofessional ballad of useless information about these douchebag rapists? They came from a troubled family...blah blah blah.."father a former alcoholic??"- Uhh, what the fuck does that even mean?!

Yet another time-filler offered-up from CNN, their standard fare, an over-dramatized example of developmental-disability in our distracted society. This is not journalism, is fucking Maury Povich and people throwing chairs at they baby-daddys.

Poppy, thank you for edifying us with that useless wind-session. Please get a job that assists in the evolution of the human condition...like on a crabbing boat in Nova Scotia!

arekin said:

Where is the sympathizing, all I'm seeing is reporting? It's not like anyone is saying that this judgement is undeserved, they are reporting on the consequences of these men ruining their victims life and in turn ruining their own. I feel like people suddenly expect CNN to be their with pitchforks and a noose.

10,000 Japanese Perform Beethoven Symphony No. 9 Ode to Joy

oritteropo says...

This video got me interested in exactly why 10 000 Japanese people would choose to perform a notoriously difficult piece, in German.

The Japanese call the piece Daiku and perform it every year in December. The largest of these gatherings is most likely the one in this video, "Suntory Presents Beethoven's 9th with a Cast of 10000," in the Osaka Castle Hall. It could also be the special concert from December 2011 which was dedicated to victims of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and in fact the pictures of that event look quite like this video.

It turns out that it is because in the first world war Japan was allied with Britain, and ended up with some German prisoners of war in Japan. In June 1918, German POWs gave a legendary concert in Naruto, Tokushima Prefecture, where they played the Ninth. Since then it has become quite popular in Japan.

There is an article from 2010 in www.japantimes.co.jp on this subject.

Star Trek TNG - Test Footage

Arkaium says...

The "Picard Manuever" became necessary after Season 3, when a wardrobe redesign made the outfit two pieces and the shirt portion was notorious for riding up at the slightest movement by the actor, particularly standing or sitting.

Windows 8: The Animated Evaluation

VoodooV says...

Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows division *did* get fired shortly after Windows 8 launch.

Of course they're not saying why, but one of the rumors was that Sinofsky alienated many coworkers and was notoriously hard to work with.

In fairness though, I haven't played with Win8 since the first developer preview. I've got an iso of the release version but just haven't had time to mess with it. And with all the negative press I've heard so far and the fact that Win7 is great and still not all that old yet, I just don't see it as a priority.

WinXP held up for a very long time (in fact it's still holding up for lots of businesses) and so I think people liked the longevity as opposed to these rapid fire releases MS normally does. So when 8 came out, I think the collective response was "Do we need this? We just settled into Win7" I'm sure there are many under-the-hood improvements in Win8, but like the reviewer mentioned, if your UI sucks or is at the very least, controversial as Win8 undoubtedly is, it's what your OS sinks or swims on, regardless of how good the OS may be underneath.

On Dec 3rd - JPL Announces One For The History Books - Mars

VoodooV says...

probably not. NASA is notorious for hyping shit up for it to only matter to the uber-nerds.

It's frustrating because in reality, this is probably a significant step forward, whatever it is. But for the rest of us, it's blue balls.

Boise_Lib said:

I hate it when NASA pumps up the hype like a sleazy hollywood hack.

But, I hope this one is really good.

I don't know anything about Russell Brand, just found out he existed. But from what I just saw, I think he handled a notoriously hard situation quite well, while ensuring both sides had a short but reasonable chance to make some points.
As for any degrees of childishness (in this case).. The topic is a joke. To deal with it in any other way is the quickest path to failure.
In saying that, jokes can at times have serious consensuses.. as the altered saying goes, it's all fun and games until you're catering to someone who lost their senses.

@bobknight33
Firstly, 'proficiencies' means: the quality of having great facility and competence.
Example: your proficiency (proficiencies) of relating words to meanings is questionable in regards to a more likely intended meaning.

Secondly, and assuming you meant 'prophecies'. If so..
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. So, requesting indisputable proof with reliable sources backed by the majority of the scientific community please. Else, I'm disregarding your statement.

Rape Survivor fights subpoena for google search,diaries

Trancecoach says...

So google searches are never pertinent in case of this type? Only for those case by which the computer is instrumental? No exceptions? I wonder if there is a principle which can be drawn.

>> ^bareboards2:

@Trancecoach, maybe if we changed the crime from rape, a notoriously difficult situation under any circumstance, to some other crime.
Because when the crime is rape, and a woman's sexual activities outside the actual event are introduced, things get hairy.
So. Push the reset button. Let's pick another crime and see if google searches are pertinent.
Building a bomb. How did they learn how to build the bomb? Did they search the internet for sources of materials? Did they order the materials online? Yeah, I'll say a subpoena for that information is in order.
Child pornography. Yeah, I think you are going to need the computer for that.
Organizing a terrorist cell. Yeah, email records, I think that is admissible evidence in court.
Even the judge in this case found the subpoena for her google searches and her journals that recorded her healing process after the rape to be inappropriate and voided them.
I glad she had that judge. Who restricted the case to the physical evidence of assault.

Philadelphia Cop Sucker Punches A Women

eric3579 says...

The Philadelphia police officer who was captured on video punching a woman in the face will be fired.

Police Commmissioner Charles H. Ramsey said today that he had issued a direct-action dismissal, an immediate step that commissioners can take if they have evidence that an officer has violated departmental policies or the law.

Lt. Jonathan Josey, 39, is a decorated 19-year veteran of the department who has been praised by some colleagues even after the video emerged. He declined to comment. As of Thursday, he is suspended for a month with the intent to dismiss.

Ramsey had previously said he was "deeply troubled" by the now-notorious video.

"From what I saw, it's difficult to justify the actions that took place," Ramsey said Tuesday.

Josey's punch to the woman's head, which knocked her to the ground and bloodied her face, appeared to be a case of excessive force being used to make an arrest, Ramsey said.

The woman, Aida Guzman of Chester, was arrested Sunday for disorderly conduct at a celebration in North Philadelphia following the city's Puerto Rican Day parade. Police said they thought she was throwing liquid at a group of officers, which led Josey to target her.

District Attorney Seth Williams said today that charges against Guzman have been dropped.

Ramsey said police still have not been able to interview Guzman, despite several attempts. He made a public request that she speak to police in order to help move the investigation forward.
