19 Things That It Took Me 50 Years To Learn

1. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

3. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”

6. You should not confuse your career with your life.

10. Never lick a steak knife.

14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.

19. Your friends love you anyway.

8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.

7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

Obama Throws Pebbles

clipper's remarks: McCain Throws Stones...

Clip Source: corner.nationalreview.com

From McCain campaign:

“Barack Obama’s ad is ridiculous. Because of John McCain, corruption was exposed and people like Jack Abramoff went to jail.

“However, if Barack Obama wants to have a discussion about truly questionable associations, let’s start with his relationship with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, at whose home Obama’s political career was reportedly launched. Mr. Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks. In recent years, Mr. Ayers has stated, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.’

“The question now is, will Barack Obama immediately call on the University of Illinois to release all of the records they are currently withholding to shed further light on Senator Obama’s relationship with this unrepentant terrorist?” —McCain spokesman Brian Rogers

How I Stole Someone's Identity

clipper's remarks: Setup: This is the case of one subject whom I'll call "Kim." She's a friend of my wife, so just from previous conversations I already knew her name, what state she was from, where she worked, and about how old she was. But that's about all I knew. She then told me which bank she used (although there are some pretty easy ways to find that out) and what her user name was. (It turns out it was fairly predictable: her first initial + last name.) Based on this information, my task was to gain access to her account.

How I Stole Someone's Identity

The author asked some of his acquaintances for permission to break into their online banking accounts. The goal was simple: get into their online accounts using the information about them, their families and acquaintances that is freely available online

As a professor, a software developer and an author I've spent a career in software security. I decided to conduct an experiment to see how vulnerable people's accounts are to mining the Web for information. I asked some of my acquaintances, people I know only casually, if with their permission and under their supervision I could break into their online banking accounts. After a few uncomfortable pauses, some agreed. The goal was simple: get into their online banking account by using information about them, their hobbies, their families and their lives freely available online. To be clear, this isn't hacking or exploiting vulnerabilities, instead it's mining the Internet for nuggets of personal data.

clipper's remarks: Are anxiety and panic attacks ruining your life? Wonder what causes panic attacks, and what you can do to prevent them?

In the United States alone, there are an estimated 40 million people who suffer from anxiety disorders. While many claim to cure panic attacks through medication, hypnotherapy, and other complex treatments, most end up merely covering up your symptoms. To completely overcome anxiety, one must deal with the root causes of anxiety, as well as treating symptoms.

In this free podcast episode, Derrick is discussing how his panic disorder destroyed a fulfilling career in firefighting.
“Panic attacks have taken my life away from me,” Derrick explains. Roy Masters, a radio counselor who has worked in the field of anxiety management for over fifty years, shows Derrick how simple the solution to panic attacks truly is.

If you are looking for simple yet private way to control panic attacks once and for all, you MUST listen to this podcast!

Unconfirmed Sources political satire and news story parodies as represented above are written as satire or parody. They are, of course, fictitious

Clip Source: www.unconfirmedsources.com

While on the podium with rival Barack Obama McCain announced that Bigfoot would be his running mate. Bigfoot then joined the two men onstage for a rousing round of applause and adulation.

While the timing of the selection was certainly a master stroke, some experts are wondering if the selection itself was as masterful, politically speaking, as Bigfoot is a bit of an unknown.

"I figure Bigfoot has a several strong positives and just a few weaker negatives." says has Republican operative Sasha Quatch, of the American Institute, a Republican think-tank. "He is a strong vital character, which any VP of John McCain must be, he is also a political outsider which should help McCain with voters suspicious of his long 'inside the beltway' career. The only negatives are that he is a bit on an unknown and his speaking style is a bit gruff to be a great communicator in the television age. But I have to say that On the whole I think he is a solid choice."

clipper's remarks: Glitter 'returns to UK next week'

Clip Source: newsvote.bbc.co.uk

Police interview

The Home Office said it did not comment on individual cases.

A spokeswoman said: "When it is known that a sex offender convicted in another country is to be deported to the UK, he is met at the port of entry by police who interview him and pass any relevant information to the police in the area in which the offender is proposing to live.

"Offenders convicted of sexual offences whether in the UK or overseas may be monitored under multi-agency public protection arrangements."

She said there was no automatic requirement for offenders returning to the UK to be added to the sex offenders register.

Glitter was convicted of possessing child pornography in the UK in 1999 and served half of a four-month jail sentence.

He later went to Cambodia, which permanently expelled him in 2002.

In a recent interview with Vietnam's Cong An Nhan Dan newspaper, Glitter said he intended to resume his singing career and might move to Singapore or Hong Kong.

Marion County's juvenile lockup searches for new director

Marion Superior Court officials have begun a nationwide search for a new superintendent at the juvenile lockup for the third time in two years.

Richard L. Curry Jr., brought in last year to fix a facility troubled by security, safety and other problems, has resigned to return to the state prison system.

Curry, a U.S. Army veteran and Baptist pastor, began his career as a correctional officer. He was assistant superintendent of the Putnamville Correctional Facility when he was appointed to oversee the county detention center. Curry's salary was $80,000.

His hiring followed the aborted appointment in September 2006 of Troy Hoppes. Court officials rescinded the decision after learning Hoppes' master's degree came from an online diploma mill.

The odd choices in Barack Obama's career

It's time to throw my hat in the ring as regards predicting the election results. So here it is: Barack Obama will be defeated. Seriously and convincingly defeated

He will lose for one reason above all, one that has been overlooked in any analysis that I've yet seen. Barack Obama will lose because he is a flake.

But what has been overlooked is the string of faux pas marking each step of Obama's journey, a series of strange, inexplicable actions

What are these incidents?

To Chicago. One of the windiest, coldest, most brutal cities in the country. One that is also infinitely corrupt in a sense that Hawaii is not. One that remains one of the most racist large cities in the U.S.

And what does he do when he reaches the city? Why, he joins a cult.

Obama apparently had to swear an oath of belief in "black liberation theology" when he joined the church.

But then... he writes nothing for the journal.

he voted "present" nearly as much as he voted "yes" or "no".

Son of illegal immigrants Henry Cejudo gives U.S. Olympic gold

BEIJING — Henry Cejudo, the 21-year-old prodigy who had competed in only one world-level senior tournament before Beijing, won the gold medal Tuesday at Olympic freestyle 55-kilogram wrestling.

Cejudo, crying the moment the match ended and wrapping himself in an American flag, defeated Tomohiro Matsunaga of Japan 2-2 on tiebreaker and 3-0 in the best-of-three match.

Cejudo, the son of undocumented Mexican aliens who bypassed a college career to try to become an Olympian, assures of the United States of winning a freestyle wrestling gold for the ninth consecutive Olympics at which it has competed.

His parents were undocumented Mexicans who met in Los Angeles. His mother had six kids, four with his father, Jorge, who was in and out of prison until dying of heart problems at age 44 last year. Henry never saw him after age 4.

clipper's remarks: I'm not a strong fan but I thought the map was cool

Clip Source: starphoenixbase.com

I had some fun yesterday writing about people who believe in a flat Earth and how their ideas compare with climate change deniers. As I reread my essay this morning I was reminded of the fact that one of my favorite authors, Terry Pratchett, has made a career writing about a fictional flat planet. His Discworld fantasy-humor novels are set on just such a planet as Flat Earthers may envision for the Earth. Here is an illustration of the Discworld:

Remember, this is fantasy, not reality. Do not plan trips for business or pleasure, especially ocean cruises, or attempt to follow world events by referring to this map. Discworld is a magical planet. Its Sun is about the size of a basketball and revolves around the flat planet. And, yes, the oceans flow off the edge into space in a continuous cascade. The fact that Discworld’s oceans never dry out is obviously due to magic rather than conventional physics.
