It seems that the Cahokia Culture, the almost-a-civilisation that the Native Americans started up in Missouri, collapsed at a time when a third of the population was made up of non-Cahokians.
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-02/priu-idc022316.php
They are saying that this lends support to theories that Cahokia collapsed because of internal strife. I don't think anyone has yet counter-suggested that diversity was their strength and that the place collapsed *despite* being 35% foreign.

The Norwegian Prime Minister is pushing emergency legislation that would allow Norway to close the border with Sweden and reject all Swedish refugees in case Sweden collapses due to being overrun with their own immigrants and refugees.

Sandoval will be like Earl Warren on crack.
That, boys and girls, is how you play nth dimensional chess. In Nevada, it's all about who has the best political machine. Right now, Sandovals machine is waxing while Reid's is waning. By puting Sandoval on SCOTUS, he gets rid of Sandoval and thus his machine. The open Senate seat this year stays Dem and the Dems pick up Heller's seat in '18.
This also puts the Senate GOP up against an unfortunately popular "moderate" Republican Hispanic governor.
Sandoval would pull SCOTUS to the Left.

I also saw the breitbart story about the OBGYN who performed 1200 abortions and demonstrated through animation how an abortion is performed. I encourage anyone who is pro-life to watch this and distribute it broadly.
The barbarism of abortion cannot be denied when seen. This is why Alinsky tactics are used against anyone showing pictures of the after effects (the destroyed lives!). They know how powerful the image is of a dismembered human body. I encourage anyone who is pro life to get in people's faces with these images. Make them squirm.

Norway has always had a fair bit of forethought. They're pretty much the only country in the world that can afford Socialism, because they used their North Sea oil windfall to create a Sovereign Wealth Fund that invested in stocks around the world. Norway's Fund now owns about 1% of the global stock market, and has over a million dollars per citizen in it.
It's also structured so that greedy politicians can't raid it for vanity projects, no matter how much they claim it's an emergency. I've always thought that during the next oil boom, we ought to sell rights on all Federal lands, and use the cash influx to create such a fund for ourselves... with the intent of lowering - and eventually abolishing - taxes and running the country on the interest.

Depends on what you want. London of course.
Bristol's got marine history and the SS Great Britain and the train from Paddington to Temple Meads runs on the Brunel GWR.
Bath has...well, a shopping district wrapped around the baths.
The Lake District stands out for me. Portsmouth's got HMS Victory and more marine history.
And then there's the time I ran five miles or so in the New Forest because...well, we were staying somewhere there, and we were driving to the auto museum, and my wife made me run back somewhere to get something. It wasn't a pleasure/exercise run, it was a 'honey I forgot something' run, and for some reason I couldn't drive it. Almost exactly twenty years ago.

My nearby music dive is the Waterloo in Louisville, CO, which has an all-Johnny-Cash theme, one of his guitars, some of his gold records, his art. When you pay your bill you get a bumper sticker that says God Bless Johnny Cash.
The house band is outstanding, and Friday night's gonna be a howl. Gasoline Lollypops from Boulder, with an amped fiddle, lead guitar, singer with guitar and multiple mics for the Tom Waits style voice sounds, an excellent drummer, and a big string bass.

Oh, definitely. Europe only got the way they are because we were footing the bill for their defense. Not only that, but they've grown ungrateful and completely unaware that they still live in a dangerous world.
I was just making the point that such a fund is a remarkable piece of foresight, and that it's an idea that we should copy if we ever have a chance to have such a remarkable windfall - though not for the same purposes. The tax reductions that could come from funding the government through such an enterprise would create a massive economic boom.

I was lucky enough to live in England when I was a kid and consider
myself a bit of an Anglophile. If going to England, and if you have
time, York is pretty much a must see due to the cathedral and the Roman
history. Chester cathedral is also beautiful. My last trip to England,
we visited the Cotswolds and the SW coast. St Ives has one of the most
beautiful beaches I've ever seen and seeing palm trees in England is
surprising.
Of course, as much as I love England, my favorite country in all of
my travels is still Scotland. Edinburgh, the highlands, and the west
coast near Oban are my favorites.

One of the big surprises when we visited Scotland is how compact it is. We stayed in Edinburgh, which is on the water on the east side of the country; we drove to Glasgow, which is on the water on the west side of the country -- it's about 50 miles, or roughly the same distance from San Jose to San Francisco.

I was stationed in England in the early '80s. RAF Lakenheath. The area around there is lovely. Bury St. Edmunds, Newmarket, Ely, even Cambridge, all really pretty and just full of history. The house I lived in had been used as a toll house 400 years ago. To us, that's just amazingly old, but over there? Not so much. The house still had shrapnel embedded in the front walls from WWII.
I'd love to go back and really take the time to look around. I didn't appreciate what I was seeing back then.

When I was scheduled to go to Egypt and work in the valley of the Kings I was asked to get a new Passport w/out a religious designation, because mine listed my religion (Jewish). The University was advised by the State Department that anyone that could be identified as a Jew would likely put the entire Archaeology Team at risk.
That was 1995.
I wouldn't go near Egypt these days.

You have to see London. Three days, minimum.
Salisbury. Winchester. Stonehenge. Avebury. Bath.
Aberystwyth. Anglesey. Chester.
Leeds Castle. Dover.
Durham Cathedral.
Hadrian's wall.
Arundel.
***
That's a good start. Go examine a map and plan a trip.
The thing about the UK is they've been manufacturing enough history locally for the last 2,000 years to keep anyone involved for a lifetime. I was lucky to have two years there, uninterrupted.
I should set up a guided tour company. I swear, I should.
Anyway, good luck.
BTW, Arundel is best approaced on the coast road, from the east. You crest a hill, and there, *BAM*, castle and cathedral on the hill, village below. Perfect middle ages.

I rode it by motorcycle a couple summers ago. When you top out in the pass and are at the Idaho state line, a sign says caution there are constant curves for the next 112 miles.
The road twists along and begins high up on a brook bank, the water far below. As you descend you get closer to the water, and the small stream gets larger, then turning into the Lochsa, then the Clearwater.
Turning takes concentration on a bike, and you go where you look, so since there is so much scenery, it feels a little spooky after a few miles of twisties. Fortunately there are a lot of historical markers that describe the party's journey, and I stopped at every one.
The expedition consisted of a bunch of meat eaters, and they damn near starved going down. It was wet and very snowy. They could have caught and eaten fish, but they did not.
When US 12 get to the Snake river, it runs alongside it a ways, before rising up into the most gorgeous rolling hill wheat country I ever say, heading toward Walla Walla.

If it's any consolation, the pyramids at Giza are so touristy they are unpleasant. But you could still go to Luxor, where the digs are ongoing and far more supervised. Plus, there are more of the temples and palaces remaining. Cairo is so sprawling and filled with traffic that it can be claustrophobic.
For a "safe" safari, the Giraffe Manor, outside of Nairobi looks amazing. It's one of my dream trips. The hotel is built so that the rooms are eye level with the giraffes-you open a window, and they stick their heads in. And lick your hand, and steal your food, apparently. I so want to go!

Reynolds has too big of an anti-establishment streak in him. They'd never nominate him, but he would fit neatly in Scalia's place.
I think Volokh beats off to the words stare decisis; he can' get enough of it like a squish. He'd turn out like Kennedy.

Here's a bit of history on her, and her friend Trish Walker.
Jessica was created in 2001. She was originally supposed to be Jessica Drew, better known as Spider-Woman. Long-time Wolverine readers are sure to note the resemblance, since Drew was working as a private eye in Madripoor in Wolvie's early issues.
Trish Walker originally appeared in 1944, as Patsy Walker, a knock-off of Betty from the Archie comics. Her "Veronica" was Hedy Wolfe. This is why Trish is a "former child star" and has some pretty creepy fans. The character was revived in 1976 as the costumed heroine Hellcat, and that's why in Jessica Jones she's so obsessed with learning how to fight and defend herself.
In the new continuity they're creating with these NetFlix shows, Jessica was adopted by the Walker family, so she and Trish are actually sisters.

Yes, I tell him everything. Then he decided he should tell me everything. And this is what I got.
I haven't told him how repulsed I am that he has been with men. I don't want to hurt him. He has done so much for me selflessly. He cares about me. I don't want to hurt him

He is taking the risk of being real with you.
You probably have a dozen options between "get out of my life" and "I'm with you whatever the circumstances".
Give yourself and the relationship a little time to breathe.

Thomas Sowell for SCOTUS?
Posted by: Tilikum Killer Assault Whale Inc. at February 24, 2016 11:15 PM (hVdx9)
Two suggestions:
1st: Arizona Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Bolick
He was was on the Golwater Institute and co-founded the Institute for Justice.
2nd: Janice Rogers Brown
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janice_Rogers_Brown
She's currently on the DC circuit of appeals. That she was filibustered for years shows she ain't no squish. Formerly she was on the California Supreme Court -- she was appointed by former Gov. Pete Wilson and snuck through confirmation and vetting... one of the few times a Republican appointee was actually far more to the right than people thought.
Both would be worthy.

It does occur that "bi" men eventually become heterosexual over time. Even monogamously hetero. Seen it many a time.
It also does occur that they drift in the other direction and become essentially exclusively gay. Seen it many a time.
Or, they stay stably bisexual. But that in and of itself can be a problem with anyone trying to maintain a faithful relationship with them, because many such have a wandering eye, and this doubles the potential to stray. Cue the old Woody Allen joke.
None of these developments are able to be predicted with any reliability.
So sorry, L, Elle, that you're having to juggle all of this stuff. The other thing I have seen a lot of around here is people ending up miserable. I hope you're able to work through this mess and emerge okay.

Funny how attractive women like the author can take *any job anywhere*, including one that only pays two cents a month, and within a year be a billionaire.

Pro-Amnesty, pro-abortion, enacted the biggest tax increase in the history of Nevada in order to fund schools which of course are filling up with illegals and refugees from California who want the same free shit in Nevada.

1) Really old and forgotten
2) Done poorly the first time
3) SFX technology have caught up with the story
4) Very dated or locked in time (like most movies being made by MTV directors or 70s stuff)
5) Public domain stories remade a lot (3 musketeers, etc)
6) You can truly bring something new and original to the story
There's a 7th these days of course: the film was big and made a lot of money before international films were so big, so now you can remake them for release in China, like Total Recall.
But lately it just seems like they're making whatever the hell falls off their DVD shelf in an earthquake.

I look back on my life and feel like I made every decision wrong, but then when I examine each one I can't figure out how I could have done it better. It just worked out to where I'm nothing like I hoped or planned my life would be and I didn't even have very impressive dreams. A family. A home. A career.

1) Really old and forgotten
2) Done poorly the first time
3) SFX technology have caught up with the story
4) Very dated or locked in time (like most movies being made by MTV directors or 70s stuff)
5) Public domain stories remade a lot (3 musketeers, etc)
6) You can truly bring something new and original to the story
There's a 7th these days of course: the film was big and made a lot of money before international films were so big, so now you can remake them for release in China, like Total Recall.
But lately it just seems like they're making whatever the hell falls off their DVD shelf in an earthquake.

You are copying and pasting and have included weird special characters.

Just what I needed to find after spending half a day trying to get the internet and the intranet to talk to one another.
I think the wireless router may need replacing. Alas, another expense to add to a long list recently.
Called the cable company just to have them verify that the modem looked like it was good on their end. The service guy said the modem was working but the router needed this and that reset.
After not being able to figure out what he had told us, called cable company back and that led to the best line of the day:
2nd cable tech guy: Everything that first cable tech guy told you is wrong.

Perhaps it is yet another proof - as of this were required - of either my status as a degenerated pre-vert, or that the Creator is a male and so loves us, His first, albeit flawed, creatures - but there's something about a woman who's a mother - something distinctly, not to say biologically, appealing - that, to a man of a fair amount of experience, is more or less irresistible.

I can program in COBOL. Took a course and everything. (You might recall that IRL I've been a CPA). Had some brief moments where I thought it might make me big bucks during the Y2K panic (but I was otherwise profitably engaged as CFO of a telecom equipment manufacturer.....).
One of the underappreciated factoids regarding early programming languages is that so many of them originated at DARPA. ForTran '57 (which is a precursor to BASIC) was developed for computing missile trajectories according to John Backus. COBOL '59 was championed by Grace Hopper. Algol '58 (which is a precursor to Pascal and C), was essentially a NATO program bringing together American and European programmers.....[the fourth language from that era, LISP....well.....]

Routine hackers and maybe corporate level bad guys might not be able to catch the leaked key, but No Such Agency could in a heart beat.
No, there is likely seperation there and NSA doesn't want to let the FBI in on their secrets and all that, but rest assured the US govt has the trivial ability to get in that damned phone. And they likely have (and the FBI was out of the loop). If there were anything there, they've acted on it.
I'm now convinced of this. This is just Kabuki theater to get that precedent set.

It used to be that there were four different thoughts about the way computing was going -- the Scientific, relying on Formula Translation [ForTran]; the Policy-driven, relying on COmmon Business [COBOL]; the Process-driven, relying on Algorithms [Algol]; and the Data-driven, relying on List Processing [LISP].
Thing is, Operating Systems started being written in Algol-based languages and became the dominant paradigm.

16K? Luxury! I started out with 4K on a TRS-80 with Level I BASIC. It had only three error messages: "WHAT?", "HOW?", and "SORRY!"

From the latest I've read on this Apple crap, the FBI is lying. This is
nothing but trying to create a precedent for routine government
backdooring and cracking, via forcing the tech companies to do it, of
our encryption systems.

My first computer. Siigh.
Kept that thing going, with upgrades, 'til I finally got a PC-AT. Still have two TRS-80s in the catacombs. Bet I could cobble one out of the two of them, but I don't know if any of the disk drives still work.
I knew those machines inside and out. (Of course, there wasn't that much to know...!) A favorite moment: being horrified at breaking a leggie off a chip, then soldering on a tiny piece of wire in its place, and plugging it in... and it worked! Try doing that on your modern computer!

Now, that means it fetches the keys without a passcode and exposes that "on the bus".
If you are No Such Agency, capturing that "key leak" would be trivial. It would take some serious sophisticated equipment to do it, but to them, it's nothing. And not to other similiar foreign agencies.
Hell, maybe even private bad guys with the know how and money.
Make image of encrypted data in phone. Fetch key via monitoring the circuit activity and catch that key when it's exposed. Use key to decrypt image of phone's encrypted "disk" data.

I mean, seriously, comparisons to Hitler have been tossed about. And some commenters have been saying that they will either stay home or vote for Hillary if he is the nominee.
Perhaps my memory is faulty, but back in 2012 when I expressed serious misgivings about Romney, I was sternly lectured that refusing to vote for the Republican candidate was exactly the same as casting a vote for the Democrat. By those very same people.

It gets frustrating, especially when people start saying "I don't trust his conversion, so I'm going to vote for an actual Democrat."
In what world does that make any sense? Suppose he becomes the nominee now. At that point, there's two possibilities. One is that his conversion was true, the other is that it was false. If his conversion was true, we're good, no problem here. If it was false, we're screwed.
There's no circumstance where voting for a Democrat leaves you un-screwed. What do you have to lose by voting Trump, assuming we don't get Cruz as the nominee? Nothing.

Not even prudently. That's why all the bailouts have failed and Wall street is rich while the rest of us either have no job or the one we have is stagnant.
This has happened a number of times throughout history.
Greed and fear are the motivators. And the result is poverty (which is what greed is the reaction to the fear of poverty) and the economy tanks and the fear of having not control comes true.
Our open borders don't help.

Shrillery already has the Democrat nomination in the -- so to speak -- bag, Vic. Remember that extra-large helping of Sooper Delegates they have stashed for her. Crazy Uncle Bernie hasn't got a chance.
She doesn't have to "do well." Between Debbie Wassername-Schlitz in the primaries, and millions of dead people in November, she's got this pretty well locked up.

The way the polls in TX have tightened, it could very well turn out to be IA again, on steroids this time as far as number of delegates in play. Cruz could win proportionally but with only a small majority of delegates.

They should pass a bill that says U.S. employers can hire as many H1-B visa holders as they like, but the H1-B employees will have all the same rights and responsibilities as any U.S. citizen employee, including the right to change employers if they so desire, without losing their visas. They should also require any employer who hires an H1-B employee to pay an "H1-B premium" of $100k per H1-B employee.
The only reason companies like Disney want to hire H1-B foreign employees is because they're (1) cheaper, because they will work for less money and (2) easier to mistreat, because they have to stay employed to keep their visas.
If the government made it more expensive to hire H1-B foreign workers than to hire American workers, and gave H1-B workers the right to freely change jobs and to file complaints against their employers when they're mistreated (without the fear of losing their visas), then H1-B employees would become a lot less attractive to U.S. employers, and you'd see them suddenly finding and hiring a lot more qualified American applicants.

Who knew Ben Carson was a spiteful little shite? I mean, he's gonna hang around? Does he do maths?
Posted by: AlaBAMA at February 25, 2016 07:18 AM (uzJKG)"
Carson's supporters would not be enough to allow either Cruz or Rubio to beat Trump even if every last one of them went to one of those candidates.
If Republicans had two working neurons to rub together, they would be treating the Carson candidacy as an opportunity to get some black voters to vote in the Republican primary as the only opportunity to vote for a black man in this primary election. It would be something in the nature of missionary work by helping some black voters to get over the "Republicans have cooties" attitude so prevalent in the black community.
Run ads on black radio stations in states with open primaries. "The Democrats are running two old white people but you can vote for a black man in the Republican primary. Ben Carson is a world renowned pediatric neurosurgeon and he is running for President in the Republican primary. Show some solidarity and help a brother out. Vote for Ben Carson on Tuesday."
It would be relatively cheap as these things go and you would not even have to contact the Carson campaign to do it.

I've lived in AZ for about 25 years. I love it, but many people find the summers too hot. Somebody the other day said it was like living in a blast furnace for four months of the year. LOL. It's not quite that bad, but the summer heat does take some getting used to. It's not for everyone, but if you can tolerate it, the rest of the year the weather is pretty much unbeatable, and the sunsets are gorgeous.

Read the article linked to on Drudge about the honest review of nominees by one voter. I was not impressed. It was all clique type behavior. "So and so deserves it this time because they didn't get it last time." "He's young and will get other chances." Plus you could sense the SJW type choices.
I think a lot of people used to watch the Oscars because it was the one chance to see clips of your favorite movies again.

I think he was saying that it's not the number of states you win but the number of delegates. Of course the greatest political talent of our time can't speak in an understandable way. He really is an empty vessel that they just pour in soundbites.

I prefer setting a low limit, say 5K for the year and make companies bid on using them. And it is a yearly visa with renewed bidding each year. But Ryan is a "every foreign worker who can get a job here is welcome" extremist.
