      <description>Early Bjork in an obvious Icelandic homage to the B-52's.
I found this cassette tape of them in a dollar bin having never heard of them before and fell in love with her odd and quirky voice and it was just so different than anything I had heard at the time.
I don't remember if I was a B-52's fan at the time but I don't think so.
I hated them when they came out because I was a rock snob playing in a cool rock band and they were &quot;too poppy&quot;.
It wasn't till much later I learned they are just fun.
Other bands I hated when they came out but later loved were, if you can believe this
The Talking Heads
Tom Petty and the heart breakers
Elvis Costello
Being a rock snob sucked and kept me closed off from a lot of great music for a long time.
Luckily we have the option of going back to enjoy music we may not have had access to or perhaps not appreciated.</description>

      <title>White House cites progress on gun control </title>
      <pubDate>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:03:08 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Doesn't Obama have bigger issues? Why is he still trying to stick it to firearm owners and the second amendment? Oh yeah... Gotta head off that prism thing!  &quot;responsible gun ownership&quot;  = &quot;you can have what  I  say you can have.  And if I don't like it, you can't have it.&quot; I'm sure his Idea of this is: turn them all in to the government &quot;responsibly&quot;



===============================================================



The White House says President Obama is close to completing a series of 
executive actions to address gun violence, but they are not a substitute
 for congressional legislation.



In a report issued Tuesday, the administration has &quot;completed or made 
significant progress&quot; on 21 of 23 executive actions that Obama outlined 
Jan. 16 as part of a major gun-control initiative.



&quot;But Congress must also act,&quot; the report says. &quot;Passing common-sense gun
 safety legislation, including expanding background checks and making 
gun trafficking a federal crime, remains the single most important step 
we could take to reduce gun violence.&quot;



With Obama in Northern Ireland for the G-8 summit, Vice President Biden will discuss the report in a speech Tuesday afternoon.



The Senate blocked a background check bill in April, thanks mostly to 
the votes of Republicans. Obama administration officials and Senate 
Democrats are trying to revive the bill by pressuring senators who voted
 against it to reconsider.



Gun-control opponents say the proposals are ineffective, and undermine the Second Amendment rights to gun ownership.



The Obama administration began pushing for new gun legislation after the
 Dec. 14 shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that killed
 20 students and six educators.



The new White House report listed the executive actions on guns taken by the administration.



Among them: Ending a freeze on federal research into the causes of gun 
violence, reducing barriers that prevent states from submitting certain 
records to the existing background check system, and easing the ways in 
which federal law enforcement agencies can trace guns recovered in 
investigations.



The report did not mention two other legislative proposals backed by 
gun-control supporters: A new ban on assault weapons, and restrictions 
on the size of ammunition magazines. Neither proposal has sufficient 
support in Congress as of yet.



The White House report says the president's executive actions are 
designed to address several goals, including improvements to the 
existing background check system, law enforcement, and school safety, as
 well as promote responsible gun ownership.

      <title>US desperately wants to seek peace with Taliban</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:11:16 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>The Taliban opened an office in Doha, the Qatari capital, on Tuesday to help restart talks and said it wanted a political solution that would bring about a just government and end foreign occupation of Afghanistan. 

  A senior U.S. official said the talks would start in Doha on Thursday, but President Barack Obama cautioned against expectations of quick progress, saying the peace process would not be easy or quick.  

    U.S. officials said the process could take many years and be subject to reversals.  

    &quot;This is an important first step towards reconciliation; although it's a very early step,&quot; Obama said after a G8 meeting in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland .  

    &quot;We anticipate there will be a lot of bumps in the road.&quot;  

    U.S. officials say they hope the meeting will open the way for the first-ever official peace talks between the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the Taliban, which has waged a 12-year campaign to oust him and foreign troops.  

    The Taliban have until now said they would not countenance talks with the government, which they consider a stooge of the United States and other Western states in the NATO coalition fighting in Afghanistan.  

    News of the planned talks comes as the United States and its allies in NATO seek to meet a deadline of December 2014 for an end to foreign combat operations in Afghanistan.  

    This would allow them to withdraw the majority of their troops and wind down an engagement launched after the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001 that has cost hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives.  

    A senior Afghan official said the Taliban was now willing to consider peace talks with the government, having held secret discussions with government representatives.  

    In opening the Qatar office, the Taliban said it sought a political solution, but said no dates had been agreed for talks.  

    Taliban representative Mohammed Naeem told a news briefing the group wanted good relations with &quot;all of the world countries.&quot;  

    &quot;But the Islamic emirate (Taliban) sees the independence of the nation from the current occupation as a national and religious obligation,&quot; he said.  

    U.S. officials said that in the talks in Doha, the United States would stick to its insistence that the Taliban break ties with al Qaeda, end violence, and accept the Afghan constitution, including protection for women and minorities.  

    For its part, the Taliban is expected to demand the return of prisoners now at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in  Cuba  - a move many in the U.S. Congress oppose - as well as the departure of all foreign troops.  

    The United States says it hopes to keep a force, of as yet undetermined size, in the country after the end of the NATO combat mission.  

    The talks will be the first U.S. meeting with the Taliban in several years. U.S. officials said the initial meeting was expected to involve an exchange of agendas, followed by another meeting a week or two later to discuss next steps.  

    A U.S. official said he expected the initial meeting would be followed within days by another between the Taliban and the High Peace Council, a structure set up by Karzai to represent Afghanistan in such talks.  

    'PEACE IS NOT AT HAND'  

    The U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the level of trust between the Afghan government and the Taliban remained low, and played down expectations that the talks would quickly lead to peace.  

    &quot;We need to be realistic,&quot; said one official. &quot;This is a new development, a potentially significant development. But peace is not at hand.&quot;  

    Obama said peace would only come through an Afghanistan-led process, and commended Karzai for taking a courageous step toward peace. He stressed that the U.S. military effort would continue in spite of the peace efforts.  

    &quot;We don't anticipate this process will be easy or quick but we must pursue it in parallel with our military approach. And we in the meantime remain fully committed to our military efforts to defeat al Qaeda and to support the Afghan national security forces,&quot; Obama said.  

    Despite the accompanying words of caution, the announcement of the planned talks represents a significant step forward in the peace process, which has struggled to achieve results despite years of attempts.  

    A team of envoys from the Taliban flew to Qatar in early 2012 to open talks with the U.S. government. But the Taliban suspended the talks in March 2012, saying Washington was giving mixed signals on the nascent Afghan reconciliation process.  

    Tiny, gas-rich Qatar has been an enthusiastic supporter of reconciliation efforts in a number of crises affecting the Muslim world including those in Afghanistan,  Yemen , Somalia, Lebanon and Darfur, often hosting peace talks on its own soil to try to prove it can punch above its weight in diplomacy.  

    Karzai, speaking on Tuesday as the U.S.-led NATO coalition launched a final phase of transferring responsibility for security to Afghan forces, said his government would send a team to Qatar. But he said the talks should quickly be moved to Afghanistan.  

    &quot;We hope that our brothers the Taliban also understand that the process will move to our country soon,&quot; he said.  

    U.S. officials said the goal was to ensure that Afghanistan did not remain a haven for terrorist groups and to defeat al Qaeda, which was given sanctuary by the Taliban in Afghanistan.  

    &quot;One of the things we will want to talk about from the very beginning is how they're going to cut ties with al Qaeda,&quot; a U.S. official said. &quot;How quickly, exactly how they're going to do it, how quickly.&quot;  

    A senior U.S. official said  Pakistan , which has provided sanctuary to the Taliban despite its professed support for the battle against Islamist militancy, had recently been supportive of the peace process.  

    &quot;There has in the past been skepticism about their support, but in recent months I think we've seen evidence that there is genuine support and that they've employed their influence such as it is to encourage the Taliban to engage,&quot; he said.  

    A U.S. official said the talks would be conducted on the Taliban side by its political commission, with the authorization of Mullah Omar, and also represent the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network. James Dobbins, the new special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, will lead the U.S. side.  

    The Haqqanis are considered the United States' deadliest foe in Afghanistan and the top U.S. and NATO commander in the country cast doubt on Tuesday over whether it could make peace.  

    &quot;All I've seen of the Haqqani would make it hard for me to believe they were reconcilable,&quot; U.S. General Joseph Dunford told Pentagon reporters by phone from Kabul.  

    U.S. officials said they expected detainee exchanges to be discussed in the talks. The United States will ask for the safe return of U.S. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who has been a prisoner since June 2009, the officials said. He is thought to be being held by Taliban militants in northwestern Pakistan.  




  Give up America, you have no experience in guerrilla warfare. You failed twice in this mission, you can't even fight in the jungles against the Vietnamese and the mountains with the Taliban.

      <title>Obama &amp;amp;amp; Putins Body Language Speaks Volumes</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:22:01 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Cameron &amp;amp;amp; Obama stay the fuck out of Sovereign Syria's affairs you pair of murdering bastards!!!!

  Obama's weapons-for-peace program  

 By Pepe Escobar 

They
 looked like two dejected schoolboys in front of the headmaster by the 
end of the two-hour Putin-Obama summit at the sidelines of the Group of 
Eight meeting in Northern Ireland. But as astonishing as the sound of 
silence was the fact that, on Syria, the former KGB guy was trying to 
save the &amp;quot;leading from behind&amp;quot; dude from himself.
President Barack 
Obama coined the monster euphemism that they had &amp;quot;different 
perspectives&amp;quot; on Syria. He said, deceptively, &amp;quot;We want to try to resolve
 the issue through political means if possible, so we will instruct our 
teams to continue to work on the potential of a Geneva follow-up.&amp;quot;
If
 Obama was really trying to solve Syria &amp;quot;through political means&amp;quot; he 
would not have pre-emptively bombed the Geneva II talks with his 
&amp;quot;weapons-for-peace&amp;quot; program, as in weaponizing only the &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; Syrian 
&amp;quot;rebels&amp;quot; and only with a few &amp;quot;non-lethal&amp;quot; toys (that's the bottom line 
of Washington's spin). &amp;quot;If possible&amp;quot; in this case does translate into 
&amp;quot;impossible&amp;quot;. As for the Geneva II talks, they don't rate anything 
better than &amp;quot;potential&amp;quot; because Obama knows the myriad, squabbling 
factions of the Syrian opposition will boycott it.
Sometimes it 
sounded like Putin wanted to put Obama out of his misery (as in &amp;quot;Assad 
must go&amp;quot; but I have no clue how to make him obey me). He was visibly 
trying to impress to Obama that expanding the proxy war in Syria would 
make the current - horrible - status quo look like a walk in the park.
Obama
 didn't seem to know what Putin knows. Putin - and Russian intelligence -
 know very well that the &amp;quot;chemical weapons&amp;quot; fairytale unveiled by White 
House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes is utter nonsense. 
They know Rhodes previously invented the silly denomination &amp;quot;kinetic 
military action&amp;quot; to define the NATO-AFRICOM war on Libya (so Obama did 
not have to declare war); and they know that Rhodes set up the scenario 
for the White House cover-up of what happened in Benghazi, by expunging 
any CIA reference to Washington-supported jihadis. Rhodes isn't 
qualified to sell bagels in the streets of New York - no offense to all 
those wonderful bagel peddlers; and yet he &amp;quot;advises&amp;quot; Obama.
Putin 
knows Obama would even give up playing basketball if he could find a way
 to sneak out of getting bogged in Syria's civil war. Putin knows Obama 
simply cannot order a no-fly zone over Syria by decree - as much as he 
may be under pressure by the usual warmonger senators, armchair warrior 
think tankers, corporate media and weapons manufacturers.
As for 
further weaponizing foreign mercenaries, Putin did hit the home run of 
the day; &amp;quot;One does not really need to support the people who not only 
kill their enemies, but open up their bodies, eat their intestines in 
front of the public and cameras.&amp;quot;
Yet Putin is certainly aware of 
Washington's Plan C or D for Syria; what is being sold as a 
&amp;quot;humanitarian assistance&amp;quot;, limited, no-fly zone - along parts of the 
Jordanian and Turkish borders into Syrian territory. This is in fact 
Libya 2.0; a &amp;quot;limited&amp;quot; no-fly zone in a flash will apply to all Syria. 
&amp;quot;Limited no-fly zones&amp;quot; only exist in Spinland; this is a declaration of 
war. So let's see how Damascus plays it with the S-300 missile batteries
 it will receive from Russia.
Still, Putin announced that Obama would
 go to Moscow for yet another bilateral summit in early September, 
before the Group of 20 summit in St Petersburg.
'Reluctant' warrior?
The
 myth of Obama as &amp;quot;reluctant warrior&amp;quot; is pure nonsense. Even the 
Washington Post had to admit that the Obama weapons-for-peace gambit was
 decided weeks ago - way before the chemical weapons fairytale.  
As
 for those pathetically declining former colonial inventors of the 
Middle East a century ago, Britain and France, everyone in the European 
Union knows that both have already declared they will further weaponize 
the &amp;quot;rebels&amp;quot; by August - after the by now certified failure of the 
Geneva II talks (which will happen, if ever, in July).
France is 
already merrily weaponizing, in close collaboration with those 
ur-democrats at the House of Saud.   It seems that a French SS-11 
missile is part of the package, as can be seen in this video (at 0:44).
Meanwhile,
 in that realm of King Playstation also known as Jordan, security types 
are all on denial mode that the kingdom is about to star as the base for
 the next no-fly zone Pentagon blockbuster. Well, they are definitely 
not reading the Wall Street Journal, which neatly outlines what the 
Pentagon is up to: actually a &amp;quot;no fighting zone&amp;quot;, to be enforced by 
F-16s flying from Jordan.  
It will be absolutely illegal - what 
else is new - because the idea behind it is to bypass the UN Security 
Council (where it would be vetoed by Russia and China) under the 
pretense that &amp;quot;the US would not regularly enter Syrian airspace and 
wouldn't hold Syrian territory.&amp;quot; And even if it did, anything would be 
justified as self-defense. Once again, the warmongers in charge are all 
blissfully ignoring the Russian S-300 missiles.
By the way, lots of 
appetizing warfare toys are already parked in Jordan during the current 
&amp;quot;Eager Lion&amp;quot; military fun-fest, which should end this Thursday.   Some
 of it will benefit from an extended visa and would certainly be used in
 the &amp;quot;no fighting zone&amp;quot; - especially F-16s and Patriot missile 
batteries, as the Jordanians themselves are saying. Check out what Eager
 Lion is aiming at: &amp;quot;Integrated air and missile defense and humanitarian
 assistance and disaster relief to address current and future conflicts'
 security issues.&amp;quot;
Faster, pussycat, kill kill (all Shi'ites)
And 
then there's Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi breaking relations with 
Syria.   True, as the &amp;quot;leader&amp;quot; of an absolutely devastated economy he 
badly needs money from the International Monetary Fund, those handy 
checks by the Emir of Qatar, and of course to smooth over relation with 
US right-wingers.
Morsi's move was also a taste of things to come 
from the Arab League - which nowadays is essentially the Saudi-Qatari 
league, with everybody else as extras. As Qatar's foreign policy is 
Muslim Brotherhood forever, Morsi's anti-Syria move served to calm down 
those who hated his opening towards Iran and, so far, no explicit 
condemnation of Bashar al-Assad.
Much more worrying is Muslim 
Brotherhood superstar Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, of al-Jazeera fame, 
issuing a fatwa for all Sunnis to go fight Hezbollah in Syria (even 
though Hezbollah has already stated, on the record, it is not fighting 
all over in Syria and from now on will only protect the Syrian-Lebanese 
border). This al-Qaradawi outburst has already been directly responsible
 for a new wave of suicide bombings against Shi'ites in Iraq. If Obama 
can't see that, he should stick to basketball.
Syria's Information 
Minister Omran Al-Zoubi has made the government's position very clear: 
any transition of power will go through the ballot box. No wonder all 
those &amp;quot;rebel&amp;quot; factions don't want democratic elections, because they 
know they will lose them. This is another fact Obama would have to admit
 - if he was not being &amp;quot;advised&amp;quot; by a non-entity like Rhodes: the Geneva
 II talks would need to revolve around a democratic election roadmap.
This
 all proves, once again, that the Obama administration would rather play
 weapons-for-peace gambits than talk real democracy. In the end, what 
those paragons of democracy - the GCC petro-monarchies - want is exactly
 what the Anglo-Franco-American axis wants (but can't admit explicitly);
 a long, horrid, protracted war where no one can claim victory. We're 
now living under the terrible shade, and possible, much expanded remix, 
of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.</description>

      <title>Hidden gems: 5 killer sleeper cars</title>

      <description>By Craig Fitzgerald 
 Boldride - Tue, Jun 11, 2013 3:00 PM EDT


Anybody can run right down to the  Chevrolet  store, order up a  Corvette  and have a fast car. Considering a  Honda Accord  can run well into the low $30,000 range, Corvettes aren't even expensive anymore. But a true car guy will shop for cars that look commonplace, dowdy, decontented or even downright ugly just to see the look on the face of a flashier car's driver when they get dusted at a stop light.  BoldRide  presents five of the sleepiest sleeper cars in history:


 
1968 Buick GS400

All of GM's 1968 to 1972 A-body intermediates - the Chevelle, the Cutlass, the LeMans and the Skylark - turned out high-performance variants that are some of the most expensive, desirable muscle cars ever produced, with one exception. The 1968 GS400 - despite having a 340 hp, 400-cu.in. V-8 to start and the availability of vastly under-rated Stage 1 components - looked like an old man's car with its sad face and its formal styling. The sleepiest GS400s were ordered with bench seats and poverty caps.




1991 to 1994 Nissan Sentra SE-R

 

The B13  Sentra  introduced the world to the SR20DE engine in the sporty two-door SE-R. For a subcompact economy car, it was a lightning bolt, offering 140 hp at 6400 rpm, and accelerating to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds. Four-wheel disc brakes were part of the package. It was on Car and Driver's 10Best list every year it was produced, and still, nobody bought it. It seems like about 93 percent of Sentra SE-Rs in those years were sprayed white, adding to their appliance-like appeal.

2004 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT

 


What the Legacy always needed was a little spring in its step, and the 2.5 GT offered in 2004 finally delivered. With a  WRX -derived 2.5-liter, turbocharged four pumping out 250 hp, the Legacy managed to perform as well as it looked. In darker colors, it was essentially invisible on the highway, yet provided a whole lot of fun and all-wheel drive for less than you'd spend on a similar-sized Audi. See also: the Subaru Forester XT 2.5, the only Forester anyone ever truly enjoyed driving.

1989-1990 Dodge Caravan Turbo
 

For two years,  Dodge  offered the  Caravan  with a turbocharged 2.5-liter Turbo II four and a five-speed stick. Cranked to a moderate boost of 12 psi, a largely stock Caravan turbo can hit the quarter mile deep into the 12s. Imagine the depression you'd kick off handing somebody's ass to them in a wood-paneled, seven passenger loser cruiser.

 1984 Ford LTD LX 

 

This one requires a little work, but the initial investment is so low it makes it worth it. Fox-bodied LTDs were almost universally loathed when they arrived in 1983. The engine was the same high-output 5.0-liter V8 so prized in the  Mustang  from that year. The LX got a four-speed automatic, bigger sway bars, bigger coil springs and bigger brakes, along with a 3.27 rear axle and a Traction-Lok diff.  The automatic was shifted via a floor selector with a console, and it was the only LTD ever to have a tach in the instrument cluster. It was the predecessor to cars like the Crown Victoria LX Sport and the Mercury Marauder, and was a high note in an otherwise depressing string of Fox-platform sedans.

      <title>President obama at G8 summit in Northern Ireland </title>

      <description>Secret Service drive TRACTORS to guard the 
President at G8 summit in Northern Ireland

Crack British SAS troops will also be at the summit to guard PM David Cameron, 
Russia's Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and France's 
Francois Hollande, along with other world leaders. 

And there will be a huge police presence. Around 4,000 officers have been 
drafted in from across the UK to bolster the 5,000 cops from Northern 
Ireland on duty. 

An anti-summit rally attended by around 1,500 people passed off peacefully in 
Belfast yesterday - although police had to step in to prevent a potential 
clash with Union flag protesters. 
 SECRET Service spooks are disguising themselves as FARMERS to protect
 Barack Obama from terrorist threats at the G8 summit.

They have even bought a fleet of TRACTORS ahead of the US President's 
 arrival in Northern Ireland tomorrow for the two-day meeting.

The agents' plan is to pose as local farmers in the sprawling fields around 
the five-star lakeside hotel complex hosting the huge event. 

 But locals near the Lough Erne resort reckon it will not take any potential 
terrorists long to spot the spooks - as their sparkling tractors are all brand new.

One said: &quot;They reckon the vehicles will let them patrol the fields around the hotel unnoticed - but they'll stick out like sore thumbs.

&quot;It's comedy gold really, like something out of Father Ted.&quot;

More than 200 US Secret Service agents - with special diplomatic immunity to shoot anyone they suspect of being a threat - will be protecting Mr Obama during his visit to Co Fermanagh.

Special forces units from the US Navy Seals - some said to be drawn from the team that killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 - will patrol the waters of Lough Erne.

A six-doctor medical crew will also accompany the President, who is due to touch down in the Presidential jet Air Force One in Belfast tomorrow morning.

From there, he will be whisked away to the venue in his lb1million bomb-proof Cadillac. 

 Crack British SAS troops will also be at the summit to guard PM David Cameron, Russia's Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and France's Francois Hollande, along with other world leaders.

And there will be a huge police presence. Around 4,000 officers have been drafted in from across the UK to bolster the 5,000 cops from Northern Ireland on duty.

An anti-summit rally attended by around 1,500 people passed off peacefully in Belfast yesterday - although police had to step in to prevent a potential clash with Union flag protesters.

      <title>FoodSay- Buying some sugar cane from street vendor</title>

      <description>Not alot to see here. Just thought i'd show ya'll a quick video of me gettin some sugar cane on the side of the road. During sugar cane season you can find these vendors on most street corners. They usually sell sugar cane and a spiral cut pickled pineapple on a stick. Others just sell the sugar cane juice. As far as i know, the black sugar cane is for eating and the green is for the juice.
