Happy New Year to all, especially those whose professional duties precluded celebration with libation.
Here's hoping 2011 treats you better than 2010 did.
Hope triumphs over experience yet again! At my age, I'll be happy if 2011 just delivers me to 2012 alive. I guess that attitude is why I'm still with my first wife.
#8
Happy New Year, my dears! May this be the year all our investments of heart, soul, and spirit start to pay out... or that we can finally see they've been paying out all along.
#9
May the road rise to meet your feet,
May the wind always be at your back,
And may you arive in heaven Five minutes before the devil even knows you're dead.
(Very old Welsh Blessing)
HAPPY 2011 Y'all.

Since '06 I have survived lung cancer twice. Any New Year will be a wonderful year!
Cheers to all.
Another year, another Congress (thank God). Maybe it's foolish to raise our hopes too high over a House majority, but at least some of the hearings should be interesting. CSPAN and some popcorn anyone?
I have survived lung cancer twice.
That's a hell of a way to get some valuble perspective! Here's hoping you and my other fellow Burgians have a happy new year and many more to follow.
and especially to those in places near amd far fighting for our liberty.
[Dawn] Insurgents threw hand grenades into two houses in the province of Kandahar, killing a child in one and wounding six people -- including a woman and a child -- in the other, a local official in southern Afghanistan said.
The Kandahar governor's front man, Zelmai Ayubi, said the attack occurred Friday morning in the district of Zhari, a Taliban heartland west of Kandahar city at the centre of the 30,000-soldier US surge earlier this year.
Ayubi said authorities were investigating why the two houses were targeted. He said the maimed had been taken to a nearby Nato base for medical help, and that two of the maimed were at death's door.

Insurgents? The Freditor® needs to replace it with something like Imbeciles or Thugs.
At least 21 people were killed and 79 wounded when a bomb exploded outside a Coptic Christian church in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria in the deadliest terrorist attack in Egypt since at least 2006.
The blast occurred after midnight as worshipers were leaving a New Years service, damaging the church, a nearby mosque and cars on the street, the Interior Ministry said in a statement on its website. Foreign elements appear to have been responsible for the blast, the ministry said, adding that it has increased security around churches nationwide in light of the escalating threats from al-Qaeda to many countries.
It has been confirmed that the epicenter of the blast wasnt in one of the cars or the road, which makes it likely that the device was carried by a suicide man who was killed with the rest, the ministry said.
President Hosni Mubarak, in a televised speech today, vowed to find those responsible for the attack. We will cut off the hand of terrorism, he said. You are making a grave mistake if you think that you will be spared the punishment of Egyptians, Mubarak said, addressing the perpetrators.
The blast badly damaged other cars on the street, television footage showed. Scores of Copts, encircled by security forces, gathered before the church to protest the attack.

Another article indicated that the patience of the Copts has about run out, and it's directed at the government. However, it can also mean that Muslims are going to start to feel some push back.
Likely, when some Muslim goes into a Copt area looking for trouble, he gets more than he bargained for, and ends up underneath a few feet of trash in some heap.
Nearly 30 people died on Friday when a bomb went off outside army barracks during New Year celebrations in the Nigerian capital Abuja. The precise number of those killed has not yet been confirmed by military authorities though.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the explosion which many blame on Islamic radicals.
[Iran Press TV] Nigerian police have jugged 92 suspected members of Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter...
Or as Al Jazeera explained just the other day, "Boko Haram changed its name following a prison break earlier this year, in which more than 700 inmates were freed, to Jama'atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda'Awati Wal Jihad, which translates roughly to 'People Committed to the Prophet's Teachings for Propagation and Jihad'." But nobody else seems interested remembering the name change -- kind of like the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince.
group over attacks that killed at least eight people in the northern city of Maiduguri.
"We have jugged 92 suspected members of the sect in raids we carried out on many parts of the city Wednesday through Thursday in connection with yesterday's attacks," AFP quoted Borno state police commissioner Mohammed Jinjiri Abubakar as saying on Thursday.
One of the detainees is a man in his 70s that police believe is the group's major financier, after materials such as chemicals used in bomb making were recovered from his residence following a raid.
It seems changing the name to HarumSkarumHelterSkelter didn't quite have the intended impact. Oh well.
Boko Haram bully boyz attacked a parked police car at a bus station in the Dala area of Maiduguri on Thursday, killing eight people and injuring eight others.
In another incident on Tuesday, gunnies fired shots into a teaching hospital in Maiduguri, killing three men, including a police brass hat.
Chaos broke out with attacks in densely populated areas of the central Nigerian city of Jos on Christmas Eve.
Boko Haram group, whose name means "Western education is sinful" in the Hausa language spoken across northern Nigeria, announced on Tuesday that it was behind the Christmas Eve bombings in the central city of Jos.
Death toll from the blasts and the post-attack ethnic festivities in Jos has climbed to at least 86 people.
The city of Jos has been a hotbed of ethnic and religious violence in recent years.
In January 2010, more than 550 Mohammedans, including many children, were killed as a result of an kaboom of violence between rival ethnic and religious groups in the central city.
Once, Islam claimed to be the most advanced option available, making its believers morally superior to others.

[Iran Press TV] A bombing in the Nigerian capital Abuja has killed at least 11 people and injured several more at a market inside a military barracks. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with any arms and ammunition shipped in from Iran...
Police say the blast occurred at the Sani Abacha barracks, I used to get emails from his kids. I wonder if they ever got all that money out of the country?
where people had gathered to celebrate New Year's Eve on Friday night. Local journalists say injured people are being carried away from the scene.
"There was a kaboom inside the Mammy market. "I'd walk a million miles
For one of her smiles..."
The bomb went kaboom! where people were eating and drinking," the civil defense corps chief for the capital, Rabi Saidu, told news hounds.
Nigeria's military chief, Air Marshal Oluseyi Petirin, said, "It's unfortunate that some people planted a bomb where people were relaxing." Actually, I think that's the definition of 'unfortunate.'
The cause of the kaboom is not yet known, and no more details are available.

It is Las Zetas. Take attention to this war in particular. Let's see what kind of zeal we may drum up and get this shoved back behind our borders from both ends. Monterey is a blood-bath. Velecruz and Chihuahua are also interesting subjects. It is TIME TO TAKE THIS SERIOUS.
[Al Jazeera] Authorities in Guatemala say they have seized hundreds of weapons and made several arrests in a crackdown against suspected narco gangs.
A good start.
The province of Alta Verapaz, in Guatemala's indigenous highlands, has been under state of emergency, as government forces try to root out traffickers from neighbouring Mexico.
Soldiers are patrolling towns in the area. Their mission is to dismantle the criminal organisations and to help the local police to restore order, according to Col Marco Tulio Vasquez.
The Zetas narco gang, however, has threatened an all-out war in their latest message to be broadcast on local radio stations.

[Al Jazeera] One of Colombia's most wanted drug lords has been killed in an operation by police and the air force, President Juan Manuel Santos has said.
Santos announced at a news conference on Wednesday that "the king of killers has fallen", confirming the death of the man knicknamed "Cuchillo" (Knife) for using the weapon to mutilate his victims.
Cuchillo, whose real name was Pedro Oliverio Guerrero, died during a raid in southern Colombia on Christmas Day.
He died... somehow.
Two coppers were also killed during the operation, which began on December 24.
Santos called Guerrero's death "the greatest blow dealt to criminal organisations," and warned other criminals that they would face a similar fate.
On Tuesday, authorities said they found a body with characteristics matching those of Guerrero about 320km southeast of the capital, Bogota, but needed to conduct the necessary tests before confirming his identity.
Colombian authorities had offered a $2.5m reward for information leading to his capture. The money will be paid to several informants who helped with the investigation, Santos said.
Police director General Oscar Naranjo said Guerrero likely drowned, since an autopsy did not find gunfire or blade wounds on his body.

[Iran Press TV] Greek police say a powerful blast outside a closed nightclub in Athens is the second attack in the past two days linked to criminal extortion groups.
They used to think anarchists were cute... or sexy, or romantically edgy. More fools they.
The blast, which caused no injuries, occurred before 4 a.m. Friday near Athens City Center.
The kaboom was so huge that it was heard across southern Athens and severely damaged the club's frontage, AP reported.
Police say extortionists, who have carried out several similar attacks in recent years, are responsible for the attack.
On Thursday morning, another bomb went kaboom! outside a court in Athens City Center after an anonymous phone threat gave police the chance to evacuate the area.
The blast, which occurred 40 minutes after a warning to a newspaper and private TV station, gave authorities time to evacuate nearby buildings.
According to reports, the bomb had been placed on a cycle of violence in front of the building.
The blast damaged two administrative court buildings in central Athens, shattered windows and damaged cars and sent up a cloud of smoke that was visible across the city.

RICHMOND, Va. -- Attorneys for five Somali men convicted of attacking a U.S. Navy ship off Africa are asking a judge to reconsider the piracy conviction.
The attorneys in December asked a federal judge to look at defense claims that the men who attacked the USS Nicholas on April 1 did not commit piracy because they did not board or rob the frigate. April Fools joke, your honor. That's all it was... So their defense is that they were inept pirates. Shrewd, counselor, very shrewd...
An attorney cited a report by the Congressional Research Service suggesting the 1819 definition of piracy may limit the ability of the government to charge individuals as pirates as merchant vessels come under increasing attack globally.
"A faint mechanical whirring sound was heard in the courtroom, later discovered to be the result of the body of Stephen Decatur hitting 20,000 revolutions per minute."

Building on statements made earlier concerning the applicablity of certain , shall we say, 'documents,' citing the definition of piracy from an 1820 Supreme Court decision is worthless, because 'it is over a 100 years old.'
next time: Plank. Walk. Swim. Some assembly required.

Just find some country willing to deal with pirates the old fashioned way, then everybody agree to "rotating jurisdiction" over captured pirates, under a confusing scheme by which no matter when pirates are captured, they just happen to be under the jurisdiction of that particular country.
Do drone drivers get overtime holiday pay?
Three US drone attacks have killed at least 15 terrorists people in Pakistan's North Wazoo Waziristan tribal region, local officials say.
Two missiles targeted terrorists militants in an area just north of Miranshah town, reports say, while the third struck in Datta Khel, west of the town.
The death toll cannot be independently confirmed and it is not clear whether all those killed were terrorists militants. If they weren't, they would have been soon enough, or they were aiding.
During patrolling of the LoC in Kangra gali area in Balakote sector of the district, troops observed movement of militants around 21:30hours last night.
Troops guarding the borderline challenged them and later fired at them, they said, adding there was also firing from across the border which continued for over an hour.
Later, troops caught hold of a Pakistan guide identified as 50-year-old Mohmmad Sagir of Keralay Majan village of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

How did the Mohammedans get the same New Year date as us? Their clerics even agree on that Gregorian change back in 1752?
[Arab News] A group of 23 Pakistani tribesmen kidnapped by the Taleban and held captive for three weeks have been released after being submerged in cold water as punishment for meeting with an army general chief, officials said Friday.
I thought waterboarding was torture, but apparently not.
Such kidnappings further threaten the government's shaky effort to convince hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians that the Taleban are defeated and that it is safe to return to their homes in North and South Waziristan.
Meanwhile, two bombs targeting a police building and a NATO truck convoy in western Pakistan killed a bystander and wounded three people Friday, officials said.
Pakistan Taleban spokesman Azam Tariq announced on Friday that that the 23 tribesmen kidnapped for meeting with the Pakistani army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani at a gathering in a western tribal district in early December had been released after being tried by a Taleban court and being submerged in cold water as punishment.
Three intelligence sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of their jobs, later confirmed that all the tribesmen had been freed, although the date of their release was not clear.
One of the 23, Shahbat Malik, said he had been reunited with his family in North Waziristan tribal district after being held in a prison-like cell for three weeks. He declined to comment on treatment in captivity.
Malik said that he satisfied the Taleban court that he and the other tribesmen had not gone to see the general in a bid to support the military, but to seek aid for their families.
"We were released after a Taleban court found us innocent," he told The Associated Press.
Another freed tribesman, Mohammad Amin, said he was relieved to rejoin his family. "It is a big deal to get out of Taleban detention," Amin said. "It's a new life." Tariq said the tribesmen kidnapped for attending a function in the South Waziristan border district on Dec. 7 had told the Taleban court that they had had no idea that Gen. Kayani would be there.
"After that meeting, they learned that the person who met with them was the country's army chief," Tariq told the AP in a telephone call from an undisclosed location.
The court ruled that the men be freed, but their Taleban captors had already punished them by immersing them in cold water, Tariq said.
Tariq also warned Islamabad against launching any further military operations in North Waziristan, which has carried the brunt of an escalation in US missile attacks on militant targets in the past year.
"If the government launches any operation, it will make millions of people homeless, and we will retaliate by targeting the security forces everywhere in Pakistan," Tariq said.
The kidnappings and Friday's bombings also challenge the Pakistan military's claim to have ousted Al-Qaeda and the Taleban from their border havens from where they have launched attacks on US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan.
One of the bombs exploded outside a northwest district police headquarters in the town of Lakki Marwat and further south at the border town of Chaman, officials said. The blast killed a bystander who had yet to be identified and wounded two local residents, police official Rafique Khan said.

We need to go into the vipers nest(s) and clean them out irregardless of what Pakistan says or does about it.
If we are unable or unwilling to do that we should leave immediately.
Imagine if the nazi's during WWII were able to find safe haven in say Austria, where we couldn't touch them, but they could mount attacks against allied forces at anytime from there with impunity?
I venture to say the outcome of the war might have been different.
Enough of this pussyfooting around.
Give the Pakis an ultimatum.
Either you remove them or we will.
And do it.
Win & preserve the peace.
Oh, and take their nukes from them in the process.
Where is our Patton or MacArthur?
[Arab News] An anti-terrorist court in Quetta on Friday rejected bail application of Balochistan chief of the Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) Shahzain Bugti, grandson of slain Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti.
Shahzain Bugti and his accomplices were jugged by the Frontier Corps (FC) last week. A huge cache of ammunition was seized from their possession.
The men were produced in court amid tight security on Friday, after the lapse of the seven-day remand.
The prosecutor requested the court to grant a 20-day extension in remand but the court decided to extend it by three days.
According to Bugti's lawyer, Mukaish Kohli, the prosecution said they needed more time because they had included four more accused, who were originally from Chaman.
Later, Kohli said that the court had reserved its judgment on the bail plea until Friday. He said that the police had failed to produce a report about the previous remand. "The court ordered them to submit a report on the next date of hearing, otherwise the accused will be sent to jail," he said.
Kohli said that he requested the court to accept Bugti's bail application as the police had failed to produce any incriminating evidence against him.
Speaking to news hounds, Bugti said he had confidence in the judiciary and that he would accept its decision. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... JWP activists held a protest demonstration outside the court premises, demanding Bugti's immediate release.
