This is a great read: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2023973/Blisteringly-sexy-killed-Nazis-bare-hands-5-million-franc-bounty-head-As-dies-98-extraordinary-story-real-Charlotte-Gray.html
so awesome!
That’s a pretty dang amazing story. I think she’s got Ian Fleming’s wartime exploits beat by a 100 miles. I like the fact that she remained faithful to her husband and worked with him during the underground resistance period in the south of France and Pyrenees.
“This was made clear from the start. When she dropped into the Auvergne, her parachute snagged on a tree. The agent who met her simpered that he hoped all trees could bear such beautiful fruit. ‘Don’t give me that French s**t,’ she snapped back.”
Heh.
Also, the CME from the X1 flare yesterday should hit sometime tomorrow. I don’t expect it’ll be of much significance, unless you’re an astronaut. Or, maybe a pilot, if they need to re-route polar flights.
There shouldn’t be much in the way of surface effects, save for those who have severe electromagnetic sensitivity, in which case FYI: Headaches, heart attacks, seizures, strokes, and more have been associated by some with significant space weather events. Flaring is high, strong space weather conditions incoming, polar radiation storm (energetic particles), coronal hole magnetic force & alfven waves will begin to affect earth today as well. (headaches are the most common, that and small moments of vertigo. The other things increase, but I think you’d have to be lined up for a stroke, heart attack, etc., anyway. . . I’m sensitive enough to get headaches and sometimes vertigo, but the rest is less likely for the average, healthy person.)
Thanks, Zoph. It’s good to know about these. Our idiot SUV loses it’s mind during solar storms, and the computer craps out, I really wouldn’t want to be flying tomorrow when that flare hits.
Hey, thanks for the post today!
No probs!
This is the first Earth-facing X-flare in a while, at least to send our a CME. Coupled with the Coronal Hole also facing our way, that does make for a somewhat interesting time, but as far as X-flares go, it’s minor. Just barely crossing into X-range.

Protecting Your Electrical Equipment from Solar Flares

Thanks! Shielding is good– and so much bette rthan it used to be. Back before they realised that humans had electromagnetic fields of their own, my mom could walk into a computer room (back when computers took rooms), and screw it up simply standing inside, not actually touching anything.
But a Massive Earth-facing X-flare with accompanying CME, such as happened in the late 1800’s, could do major damage to us. shielding what you can might mitigate some probs. . .
And perhaps some personal protection as well as a stealthy approach to prey! 😀

Obama administration under pressure to turn attention back to Iraq
“WASHINGTON – As Al Qaeda-aligned insurgents make unprecedented post-war gains in Iraq, U.S. military officials and others in the Obama administration are keeping their distance — despite mounting calls to ratchet up involvement amid fears the country is teetering on the brink of civil war.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/08/calls-mount-for-more-us-involvement-in-iraq/
Gotta give al Qaeda credit. They sure make him look like a monkey,
Knight, it’s too bad you can’t photoshop some Batman ears on that new Knight gravatar so it looks more like your famous Batman hunter photo! 😀
OMG, I forgot about that! So you found the pic?! 😀
No, actually I was looking for the one where you’re looking into the sun and showing off your cool hunting rifle. I still can’t find that one. Dangit.
Ok… I’ll see if I can find it.

Very interesting theory.

The global intelligencia scoff at this simplistic approach. It appears we have exhausted all other options short of surrender/submission… which equates to suicide. If given the choice I wonder if the “experts” could bring themselves to make the choice….. us or them?

I think he has some cousins down my way. Dill-weed. 🙄

“In response, the pro-homosexual Huffington Post attacked the book as “potentially dangerous” because it suggests children don’t have to engage in dangerous homosexual conduct, and that parents can influence how their children turn out. The publication also claimed that Amazon had “pulled” the book in response to homosexual criticism.”

“Even as top officials in the communist regime ruling over mainland China were spewing increasingly militaristic anti-American rhetoric — not to mention the Beijing-based dictatorship’s massive espionage operations against the United States — the Obama administration reportedly waived laws prohibiting certain Chinese-made parts on U.S. weapons systems. Experts say the apparently unprecedented move represents a major national-security risk and is part of a troubling trend.”

Christmas Miracles Continue to Confound and Delight
http://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/faith-and-morals/item/17262-christmas-miracles-continue-to-confound-and-delight
awesome– another great read!
Very cool!
Related: We had another minor miracle at the little Marian shrine out in the garden over Christmas. On Christmas Eve, I set out about 7 or 8 white flower blossoms next to Our Lady’s little house. Two days later, I went out to set out some new blossoms and all but one of the original ones were flat and brown and frozen from the temps in the teens, as they always are. The fresh blossoms only last a few hours at most. But there was a single blossom that was fresh and white and perfect after 2 days. Not really possible. Made me think the attention was appreciated.
Beautiful. Sometimes it’s the tiny miracles that spurs you onward, giving you life to keep marching on. But if one is self consumed in the hardships of this life, wishing for one big miracle to take you out of your “misery”, you may end up missing the small miracles that happen right in front of you.
Shockingly well said, Knight! I believe you’re right! 🙂

Bombshell Obama Vetting: 1979 Newspaper Article By Valerie Jarrett Father-In-Law Reveals Start Of Muslim Purchase Of U.S. Presidency

’79 that’s the year he supposedly graduated from Punahoe/who?
“Several circumstances surrounding the crash also have raised disturbing questions for the family members.
Among their questions are why seven Afghan commandos on the flight suddenly were replaced just before takeoff. The seven individuals, who also died in the attack, are not listed in the flight manifest. This has caused some of the family members to speculate that they may have been suicide bombers or may have tipped off the Taliban.
Inside job?
When asked if they believed the attack possibly was an inside job, several family members responded in the affirmative.”

White House blames ‘polar vortex’ on global warming in blog post

Well, let me just say that I got a memo this morning from Dr. Holdren about the future direction of the agency I work for, and it made me recoil in horror that this imbecile, this AGW psycho, this proponent of euthanasia and abortion, yes, this NAZI-whannabe, is basically my boss. And it makes me sick to my stomach.
Not good. Your boss is evil.
I know! But what do I do about it? 👿
Ask him if he’d be willing to attend an exorcism… his! 😀 👿
Exorcisms are risky and expensive. I was thinking of a cure costing more like $.60. 👿
I could make the cure… no kidding! I make precision cures by hand! It’s down to a science. I guarantee a full cure or your money back! 😀 👿
Excellent! I think they’re making it pretty hard to do that at home these days, though, with all the new laws. 👿
Yeah, I agree. I can’t believe that even though Hawaii is liberal to the max, we haven’t made any crazy laws banning that… yet.
I’ll add, though, that it helps when you live in the country or the backwoods, out of the cities. For example, here in my area, people would make handmade “booms” (may I stress, BIG BANGS) and set them off for New Year’s… totally illegal now… I believe (I miss the old days). You would’nt get away with that in the cities, towns, or suburban areas. You would be locked up forever.
NSFW language……

Accurate and succinct! 😀
