It's been a long time since we've had a bleg. I always hate to ask. I feel like I'm promising to gladly pay you Tuesday for a donation today.
Still, the Burg costs money to run. Software's mostly free, but the hosting company charges us, and we have hardware costs. We've got the server in Baltimore and a backup server that currently lives in my bedroom. My beloved Lenovo laptop, that I use to try and stay connected if I'm traveling or in the hospital, gave up the ghost this summer. And then there's the cost of beer and gin...
I try to keep the blegging to a minimum, but every once in a while I have to. So if you've got it, please help keep us going. We've been around longer than most, and with your help we'll be around longer than even more.

A top North Korean official in charge of US affairs has arrived in Russia for diplomatic talks.
Choe Son Hui, director-general of the foreign ministry's North American affairs bureau, landed at an airport in Vladivostok, in Russia's Far East, on Monday.
Her itinerary and the purpose of the trip have not been announced. But diplomatic sources say she is expected to meet a Russian senior official to discuss the situation in the Korean Peninsula.
Choe exchanged views on the issue with the Russian ambassador in Pyongyang last Monday. North Korea's state-run media also reported last week that the ambassador and embassy officials visited Mount Paektu, which is regarded as sacred in the North.
The Russian government is critical of North Korea's nuclear and missile development, but also insists that dialogue is important in solving the issue.
North Korea is apparently trying to approach Russia as the administration of US President Donald Trump is ratcheting up pressure on the North.

Deputy Commander of 12-Brigade of Army based in Uri town, Colonel Harpreet Singh, told a news conference that holy warriors were well equipped and intended to carry out a major attack on Army’s Kalgai camp in Uri.
"These Death Eaters had infiltrated well equipped with explosives and intended to carry out a major attack on the army camp at Kalgai. The alertness and resilience of Army troops who engaged and neutralized the Death Eaters resulted in foiling another devastating terror strike in Uri sector", said Col Singh.
The Army officer said that they were trying to carry out last year’s Uri Brigade Headquarter type of attack. "Absolutely the way they have attacked and the warlike stores including IEDs suggested that they were likely to carry out the attack of the same magnitude", he said.
Army today said that they recovered body of another holy warrior from Kalgai area of Uri taking the number of holy warriors killed in the operation to four. The operation was launched yesterday and it was resumed this morning following reports that more holy warriors were hiding in the area.
Col Singh said that the search operation is still underway and we planned to clear the whole sector. He said operation is still underway and "we are trying, to sanitize the whole area. We had inputs especially regarding these four".
While giving details of the operation Col Singh said: "specific information was received by the Army from the sources about the presence of suspected terrorist in the adjoining areas of Kalgai camp. Late in the night of 23 September army established a cordon in the area by midnight and intercepted the Death Eaters while they were moving.
After an exchange of fire the terrorist took shelter in inhabited house wherein civilians were also present and they took the residents as the hostages. The civilians were rescued and taken out safely in a deliberate operation. After the daylong fire fight, four likely foreign Death Eaters were eliminated and a lot of warlike stores was recovered from them including IEDs".
The Army officer said: "While one terrorist was killed in the early morning, the remaining three kept the troops engaged by moving from one house to another taking the advantage of thick foliage and maze fields there. The houses were cleared by the Army in a deliberate operation during which the remaining three Death Eaters were also eliminated. The local mosque in the close vicinity was cleared by the police keeping the sensitivities in mind".

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Eight persons were killed and injured as two bomb blasts exploded in south and east of Baghdad, a security source said.
“A bomb exploded near stores in Kasret Waatash in east of Baghdad, leaving a person killed and five others wounded,” the source told Baghdad Today on Monday.
Moreover, “a bomb targeted police patrol in Arab Jabour region, south of Baghdad, leaving two persons injured,” the source added.
Hamdaniyah (IraqiNews.com) The pro-government paramilitary troops have foiled an attack by Islamic State militants on the borders between Iraq and Syria.
A statement by the media service of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) said on Monday that “the first brigade troops repulsed a wide-scale attack by IS militants on the Iraqi-Syrian borders in al-Muthalath region, which links the borders to Hamdaniya.”
“Militants who were on board of a vehicle were killed,” it added.
The Shia-led PMFs were formed in 2014 as per an edict by Iraq’s top Shia clergy to combat the militant group.
IS has increasingly targeted security forces and civilians across Iraq over the past months coinciding with operations by the U.S.-backed Iraqi government forces which sought to retake areas occupied by the group since 2014.
Launched last week, an operation managed to take over al-Zab river region, the northern part of Makhoul mountains and several villages west of Tigris River. Joint Operations Command announced on Sunday completing the first phase of operations to recapture Hawija, the group’s holdout in southwestern Kirkuk.
The government hopes to eradicate a self-styled “Islamic Caliphate” IS declared from Mosul after it had taken over large areas of the country and of neighboring Syria.

All of them a lot more eager to fight then they were against ISIS.
Three Israelis were murdered Tuesday morning in a suspected terror attack in the town of Har Adar outside Jerusalem. Another Israeli was badly wounded.
According to the Border Police, the Palestinian assailant approached the town's gate posing as a laborer. When the people manning the gate grew suspicious of him, he pulled out his weapon and opened fire.
After an exchange of gunfire, the assailant was shot dead, but not before fatally injuring three people and severely wounding one more.
Israel's Channel 10 news identified the attacker as 37-year-old Namer Mahmoud Ahmed Jabbar, a father of four from the Palestinian village of Beit Surik. The man is said to have a valid work permit allowing him to enter Israel. The whole word condemns the Burmese for treating Muslims as dangerous animals.
[DAWN] Myanmar’s army said on Sunday it had discovered a mass grave containing the bodies of 28 Hindus, including women and kiddies, in Rakhine state, blaming the killings on Moslem Rohingya bully boys.
Thousands of Hindus have fled villages where they once lived alongside Moslems, alleging that they were targeted by bandidosforces of Evil whose Aug 25 raids plunged Rakhine into communal violence.
The announcement could not be independently verified in an region where access has been tightly controlled by Myanmar’s army.
"Security members found and dug up 28 dead bodies of Hindus who were cruelly and violently killed by ARSA hard boy Bengali murderous Moslems in Rakhine State," a statement posted on the army chief’s website said. The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) is the group whose attacks on police posts triggered an army backlash so brutal that the UN believes it amounts to ethnic cleansing of the Moslem minority.
More than 430,000 Rohingya have fled the region to Bangladesh in under a month. Around 30,000 Hindus and Buddhists based in the area have also been displaced by the violence. Both communities have told AFP they were terrorised by Rohingya bully boys.
The army said that security officers found a total of 20 dead women and eight men in two graves, including six boys under the age of ten. A strong smell led security officers to the burial site outside of Ye Baw Kya village, the army said.
Unverifiable photos published by the government’s Information Committee showed corpses laid out in rows on grass near two mud pits where they were found.
Myanmar government front man Zaw Htay confirmed the grim discovery to AFP, as did a police brass hat in Rakhine who requested anonymity. The village where the bodies were found, Ye Baw Kya, lies near a cluster of Hindu and Moslem communities in northern Rakhine called Kha Maung Seik.
Last week Hindus from the area told AFP that bandidosforces of Evil swept into their villages on Aug 25 with sticks and knives, attacking people who stood in their way, killing many and taking others into the forest. Hindu women are believed to have been kidnapped by the bully boys.
The grim discovery of the graves will further fuel already white-hot hatred between ethnic groups in Myanmar.
