Praline Crunch snack mix has crispy, crunchy, caramel-coated Crispix cereal and pecans studded throughout. It's SO good, however, be warned: this stuff is seriously addictive!!Jump to Recipe
Everyone has that favorite party snack recipe. It could be a savory Chex Mix or a sweet-tooth's go-to Puppy Chow. Although I'm a sucker for about any kind of little munchies, this Praline Crunch is at the top of my list!
My mom has been making this around the holidays for as long as I can remember. She'd make a big batch and fill ice cream buckets full for transport to holiday festivities.
This praline crunch has just a handful of ingredients and makes the perfect addition to holiday gatherings. Why do I keep saying "holiday?!" Sure, it's a great holiday treat, but why do we have to wait for a certain month to enjoy it?! Well, good news is, you don't have to! Make it anytime.....I'm not judging! 😉
What ingredients do I need to make Praline Crunch?
- Butter - I highly recommend using the real thing. No margarine or "light" butter in this recipe! (You can save calories elsewhere ;))
- Brown Sugar - This is what will give the caramel flavor and help with the crunchy texture! Use light or dark brown sugar - either will work fine.
- Corn Syrup - Light or dark corn syrup will work in this recipe, however I typically use light corn syrup as I always have it on hand.
- Vanilla - Such a wonderful complimentary flavor to caramel!
- Salt - This helps balance out the sweetness and actually enhances the caramel flavor in the mix. The sweet/salty mix is SO addictive!
- Crispix Cereal - Those crunchy little hexagons are perfect for this mix with their numerous nooks and crannies for the caramel to sneak in!
- Pecan Halves - It wouldn't be "praline" crunch without them! They get nice and toasted in the oven, giving the snack mix great flavor and aroma!
How to Make Praline Crunch
I like to start by adding my cereal and pecans in a large mixing bowl, so it's ready when the syrupy part is cooked. You'll want a large bowl so it's easy to mix thoroughly.
Add the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup to a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture boil slowly for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla and salt.
Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal and pecans mixture.
Carefully stir with a large wooden spoon until the cereal and pecans are coated evenly.
Divide the mixture between two large ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 60 minutes, stirring after each 15 minutes.
Let the praline crunch cool completely before packaging.
Advice for making the BEST Praline Crunch snack mix:
My biggest piece of advice is to make a double batch, because you're gonna wish you did! 😉 Ok, but in all seriousness, this is a very simple recipe. Although there really isn't much to mess up, here are a couple tips to help guide you to success!
- Carefully watch the timer when you're boiling the caramel mixture. If you boil it longer than the recipe says, it'll form a thicker mixture (and therefore be difficult to stir into the cereal). I recommend having a big bowl with the cereal and pecans ready, so as soon as the boil time is up, you can pour it over the cereal/pecans immediately.
- Stir the mix together carefully. First off, the caramel sauce is HOT when you pour it over the cereal and pecans. Safety first! 🙂 Second, you don't want to crush the cereal, so try to fold the mixture to combine using a large spoon or rubber spatula. It'll take awhile to make sure all the pieces are coated, so try not to get impatient.
- Set a timer while the snack mix is in the oven. I recommend setting the timer on 15 minute increments so you remember to stir it throughout the baking process.
How should I store the snack mix?
I always store this mix in a large tightly sealed Tupperware container. It'll last for a week or two on the counter that way.
This does make a decent sized batch of snack mix, so ice cream buckets with lids work well for storage, too! And the handle is nice for carrying the mix to and from holiday gatherings.
How should I package the mixture for gifts?
This Praline Crunch is perfect for gift giving, especially for coworkers, teachers, coaches, etc. There are a couple different packing options I'd recommend:
- Get some cute little tins and fill them up! Tie a ribbon around it (securing the lid on top) and add a gift tag. Simple, cute, and the tins are reusable!
- Treat bags work well too! Especially if you don't want to spend an extra few bucks on holiday tins, this is a great option. Simply fill the clear bags and tie a festive ribbon on top - voila!

Mary Rogal says
This looks awesome, will be making it as soon as I can get to the store for the Chex mix. Thanks.
Mary Rogal, don't buy Chex Mix. Crispix is in the cereal aisle. Chex Mix is already made.
The Better Baker says
Oh WOW! This sounds so good...addictive...and I can hardly wait to make it. Next to chocolate, caramel is my favorite flavor...congrats on being featured at Weekend Potluck! Nice going! =)
Am I right in assuming the pans should be buttered or that I should line them with parchment?
Hi Rhonda! I'm so glad you asked. I'll be sure to clarify in the post, in case anyone else was wondering the same. The pans actually do not need to be greased or lined (the butter in the syrupy mixture keeps it from sticking). However, if you don't want to have to clean up buttery pans, I'd recommend lining with parchment paper. I hope it turns out great for you - it's a Christmas tradition for us!!! 🙂
Rhonda Peery says
Thanks so much for the quick reply! I thought that it at least wouldn’t hurt anything if I used parchment, so I did yesterday when making this for the 1st time. It turned out wonderful and has already been popular with the lucky few that have gotten to sample it so far. I’ve already pinned it as a tried and true recipe! Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas!
That's so great to hear, Rhonda!! Thanks for following Dance Around the Kitchen and Merry Christmas to you! -Kelsey
Made it today and it was a HUGE hit with the family. Will make nice Christmas Gifts!!!!
Oh this is so great to hear!!! Thanks for sharing, Joyce! Happy holidays to you and your family. -Kelsey
Shirlie Kimmet says
DOES THIS RECIPE TAKE 2 14 CUPS OF BROWN SUGAR? THAT SOUNDS LIKE ALOT. WANT TO BE SURE BEFORE MAKING IT. PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH A ANSWER.
Yes, that's correct!
Sandra wheeler says
I made mine with 1/4 cup of sugar turned out great
Elane Wilkerson says
Mine smells good but is stuck together what did I do wrong
Hi Elane - a couple thoughts. Did you spread the mixture between 2 sheet pans? If there's too much on a pan, it might clump up a bit. And did you stir it while it was baking every 15 minutes? If you did both of those things, I'm not sure! It might help to stir it again after it comes out of the oven....maybe 5 minutes after coming out of the oven and 15 minutes after to separate clumps before it completely cools. Wishing you and your family the happiest of holidays! -Kelsey
Melody Kesler says
I made these today and added Fritos corn chips to the mix. Definitely will be making this again!
Ohhhh I love the idea of adding Fritos! Such a good sweet & salty combo! Thanks for the great review!
That sounds good and I did a similar recipe at Christmas and added regular bugles, really good. I’m definitely going to try this recipe with different variations starting with the recipe published.Thanks
Yes!! It's one of my favorites....SO good. And addicting! 🙂
Beverly Tobbe says
Do you stir the syrup mixture while it boils
Hi Beverly - I typically do not. Hope that helps!
Would this work using Kraft caramels or Marzetti caramel?
Hi Bridgette - I've never tried with those types of caramels, so honestly, I'm not sure! 🙂
Can this be frozen?
Hi Lynn - I've never tried freezing it. My only concern would be that it would get a bit soggy in the freeze-thaw process. Let me know if you give it a try!!
I made this to take to my daughter’s for Thanksgiving! It smells so good when cooking the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. I couldn’t help but try a few pieces before it went in the oven. I’m sure it is going to taste awesome!
Yay!!! So happy to hear, Sharon. It's one of my favorites - so addictive, though! 🙂
Shelagh Krishka says
What can I replace the corn syrup with?
Hi Shelagh - I'm not aware of a replacement for corn syrup. Sorry!!!
Marilyn Bonsall says
Do you pack the brown sugar? Thank you!
Heidi Kleist says
Could you drizzle melted chocolate over this after its cooled? Then in fridge to set.
Absolutely!! I think that would be delicious! 🙂
This crunch is delicious! You warned that it is addictive and it is. My husband ate most of the recipe, my son-in-law finished his at one sitting. I make the regular Chex cereal and it has become expected. I will still make it addition to this treat.
Ha! It truly is addicting - my mom always makes a double batch for that exact reason. Glad to hear your husband and son-in-law enjoyed the recipe! -Kelsey
Good luck finding Crispix! I got Corn Chex, Rice Chex and Honey Nut Chex (something new). My recipe is different, but same idea. This one looks even better.
I made this but boiling for 5 minutes gave mine a burned taste. trying again, I hate to be defeated
Hi Beverly - Sorry to hear yours tasted a little burnt! I just updated the recipe to make sure the heat gets turned down once the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, you can reduce the heat to low/medium. Hopefully that'll help any issues like this! 🙂 -Kelsey
Valerie Testi says
It is addicting! I add walnuts in addition to the pecans and some pretzels sticks . Mix very well and then some.
Has anyone tried to cook in the microwave ( once the squares are poured over?) I'd be interested to know . I have a large family and they want it all the time. And I do make double batches. I'm not crazy about turning the oven on for an hour at a time.
Kathy Watson says
I made this this afternoon and it is delicious. My problem is that it’s soggy and not crunchy. Is there something I can do to make it crispy?
Hi Kathy! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I've never had that happen....however, baking it longer should help it crisp up! 🙂
Marianne VanWulfen says
I have cereal left over in boxes of Rice Chex and Corn Chex. Can replace the Crispix with these?
Yes! That should work just fine! 🙂 -Kelsey


AUSTIN – Students in Haltom City, Keller and Richland Hills soon may walk or ride bicycles to school with less risk of getting hit by a car, after $3.3 million in federal funding was awarded for sidewalks, pavement markings and other improvements. The awards were announced Thursday during a meeting of the Texas Transportation Commission in Austin. Statewide, $54.1 million was awarded to about 200 projects in the federal Safe Routes to School program. The funding covers 100 percent of costs, and doesn’t require a local match, said Carol Rawson, director of the transportation department’s traffic operations division. It can be used for sidewalks, handicap-accessible ramps, signs and pavement markings that improve pedestrian safety. Among the awards: nHaltom City – Academy at West Birdville, $272,200; Haltom Middle School, $395,397; North Oaks Middle School, $428,993. nKeller – Two awards for unspecified school areas, $443,658 and $254,569. nRichland Hills – Binion Elementary, $499,036; Richland Elementary, $491,616; Richland Middle $497,880. The money will be distributed to cities over a four-year period, Rawson said. Richland Hills also received $93,150 for educational and enforcement activities to improve safety along school routes during the next two years. GORDON DICKSON, 817-390-7796
The Fort Worth Transportation Authority says it needs land behind the T&P Warehouse in downtown Fort Worth for a commuter rail line, and because the landowner won't sell, the T is taking steps to condemn it.
It’s a chance to get some exercise and fresh air, and check out local celebrities wearing carbon fiber shorts. Friday is Bike to Work Day in Fort Worth. Dozens of cycling enthusiasts are expected to use Fort Worth’s growing network of hike and bike trails to get to work. Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley, Tax Assessor/Collector Betsy Price and Fort Worth Transportation Authority president Dick Ruddell are among those expected to take part in a morning of pedal-rific festivities. Many riders say they will use the Trinity Trails to get to downtown. One group of riders plans to meet at Tarrant County College Trinity River Campus at 7:45 a.m. and pedal en masse to the Intermodal Transportation Center, 1001 Jones St., where free coffee and snacks will be offered to riders until about 9 a.m. Bike inspections and demonstrations of bike rack loading also will be performed. A news briefing will be held at 8:15 a.m., where dignitaries will trumpet the health benefits of leaving a car at home and taking a bike to work.
GRAPEVINE — The contractor working on the $1 billion DFW Connector road project in Grapevine could be fined $8,300 or more for closing at least one lane of traffic during Tuesday morning rush hour, officials said.
NorthGate Constructors’ contract with the Texas Department of Transportation generally prohibits closing freeway lanes between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. — and requires most road work to be performed overnight. However, on Tuesday, at least one lane of southbound Texas 121 and westbound Texas 114/121 near the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport north entrance remained closed until 6:57 a.m.
NorthGate issued an apology to electronic alert subscribers on its website — www.dfwconnector.com — and explained that the 57-minute delay was for safety. “We needed to ensure that new striping on westbound SH 114/121 was both clear and visible for commuters,” the apology read.
The transportation department was evaluating whether to charge NorthGate up to $8,300 per hour for each lane remaining closed after 6 a.m., spokesman Tony Hartzel said. (In industry lingo, it's not a fine -- it's "liquidated damages.") The precise number of lanes closed after 6 a.m. was still being determined.

According to European Commission statistics released on Friday the number of road traffic deaths fell by one fifth in the Czech Republic in the past five years. In 2001, traffic accidents claimed 1,334 lives compared to 1,063 last year. Police attribute the drop in the number of road deaths in large measure to new legislation introduced in 2006. At the same time, the statistics show that too many Czech drivers and passengers do not take the mandatory use of seat belts seriously enough: 72 percent of passengers in front use them regularly, while only 41 percent use them in back. The Czech Republic fares better regarding drink driving, with a fairly low five percent of deaths that are alcohol-related. The Czech Republic also has a lower number of deaths among youths behind the wheel between the ages of 18 and 25.

Laura Morrison Says She Will Not Run for Austin Mayor
This article is written by KUT's City Hall reporting partner, the Austin Monitor.
Council Member Laura Morrison, who has served on the Austin City Council for nearly six years and has been considered a likely candidate for Mayor on the November ballot told the Austin Monitor today that she has decided against the race.
Morrison, 59, said decision was a difficult one for her. “I love this job and it’s been … very complicated and difficult. It’s taken me a long time to make this decision.” Weighing all the pros and cons of a race that might cost up to a million dollars, Morrison said, “I just think a different future is what’s right for me.”
She added, “This has been the most rewarding job I've ever had in my life and it has been an incredible privilege and honor to be able to serve the public. I don't know what I want to do next but certainly I love this town. I love public service. I love the community that we have and the people that are involved and hopefully I’ll be able to work into something that sort of builds on all those things.”
Morrison has been known as a fierce advocate for neighborhoods and has played an instrumental role in numerous regulations and ordinances enacted to protect neighborhoods and the environment.
Several Morrison supporters have been circulating an email urging folks to sign a letter encouraging the Council member to run for the city’s top job. As of this afternoon, 89 people had signed up. The site is www.draftLaura4mayor.com.
She said the effort has “been extremely meaningful to me and I've really appreciated all the people who have encouraged me to run. I would say one of the most difficult parts of this decision is knowing that some of those folks are going to be disappointed. It really means a lot to me,” she said.
She said she decided to announce the decision today “partly in response to the fact that there was that website.”
The two candidates most likely to run at this point are attorney Steve Adler and Council Member Mike Martinez. Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole has not indicated whether she will run or not.

The Grand Lama is a name given to the sovereign pontiff, or high priest, of the Thibetian Tartars, who resides at Patoli, a vast palace on a mountain, near the banks of Burhampooter, about seven miles from Lahassa. The foot of this mountain is inhabited by twenty thousand Lamas, or priests, who have their separate apartments round about the mountain, and, according to their respective quality, are placed nearer or at a greater distance from the sovereign pontiff. He is not only the sovereign pontiff, the vicegerent of the Deity on earth, but the more remote Tartars are said to absolutely regard him as the Deity himself, and call him God, the everlasting Father of heaven. They believe him to be immortal, and endowed with all knowledge and virtue. Every year they come up, from different parts, to worship, and make rich offerings at his shrine. Even the emperor of China, who is a Manchou Tartar, does not fail in acknowledgments to him, in his religious capacity, and actually entertains, at a great expense, in the palace of Pekin, an inferior Lama, deputed as his nuncio from Thibet. The Grand Lama, it has been said, is never to be seen but in a secret place of his palace, amidst a great number of lamps, sitting cross-legged upon a cushion, and decked all over with gold and precious stones; where, at a distance, the people prostrate themselves before him, it being not lawful for any so much as to kiss his feet. He returns not the least sign of respect, nor ever speaks, even to the greatest princes, but only lays his hand upon their heads; and they are fully persuaded they receive from thence a full forgiveness of all their sins.
The magnificence and number of the ancient heathen temples almost exceed calculation or belief. At one time, there were no less than 424 temples in the city of Rome, The temple of Diana, at Ephesus, was accounted one of the seven wonders of the world. It was 425 feet in length, 220 in breadth, and was adorned with 100 columns 60 feet high; and, as each column is said to have contained 150 tons of marble, -- as the stupendous edifice, outside and in, was adorned with gold, and a profusion of ornaments, -- how immense must have been the whole expense of its erection!
At the present day, many of the pagan nations go to immense expense in the support of their religious worship. It is stated, in the Indo-Chinese Gleaner, a paper published by the missionaries in China, that there are, in that empire, 1056 temples dedicated to Confucius, where above 60,000 animals are annually offered. The followers of Confucius form one of the smallest of the three leading sects among the Chinese.
Mr. Ward, a distinguished missionary, was present at the worship of the goddess Doorga, at Calcutta, in 1806. After describing the greatness of the assembly, the profusion of the offerings, and the many strange peculiarities of the worship, he observes, "The whole produced on my mind sensations of the greatest honor. The dress of the singers, their indecent gestures, the abominable nature of the songs, the horrid din of their miserable drum, the lateness of the hour, the darkness of the place, with the reflection that I was standing in an idol temple, and that this immense multitude of rational and immortal creatures, capable of superior joys, were, in the very act of worship, perpetrating a crime of high treason against the God of heaven, while they themselves believed they were performing an act of merit, -- excited ideas and feelings in my mind which time can never obliterate."
The vast empire of China, misnamed the Celestial Empire, is given up to the vilest idolatry. Idols are encountered at every step, not merely in the temples, but in the houses, and even in the vessels, where a part of the forecastle is consecrated to them, as the most honorable place. The idol is dressed and adorned with a splendor proportioned to the wealth of the captain of the vessel, and daily receives an offering, composed of flesh and fruits, together with the smoke of perfumes. Besides this regular service, the captain makes a solemn sacrifice to his wooden deity, on all important occasions; as, for instance, in passing from one river into another, or in time of tempest, or when the sails flap idly in a calm. The Chinese have likewise a practice of deifying their dead ancestors, and of prostrating themselves before the monumental tablets which are erected to their memory. Yet they appear to have no real veneration for any of their idols; nor do they hesitate to profane the temples, by smoking their pipes, and taking refreshments, and even by gambling, within the consecrated precincts. The priests are shameless impostors. They practise the mountebank sciences of astrology, divination, necromancy, and animal magnetism, and keep for sale a liquid, which, they pretend, will confer immortality on those who drink it.
Tortures of various kinds, burning, and burying alive, are considered religious duties among the pagans.
The festival of Juggernaut is annually held on the sea-coast of Orissa, where there is a celebrated temple, and an idol of the god. The idol is a carved block of wood, with a frightful visage, painted black, and a distended mouth of a bloody color. He is dressed in gorgeous apparel, and his appellation is one of the numerous names of Vishnu, the preserving power of the universe, according to the theology of the Bramins. On festival days, the throne of the idol is placed upon a stupendous movable tower, about sixty feet in height, resting on wheels, which indent the ground deeply, as they turn slowly under the ponderous machine. He is accompanied by two other idols, his brother Balaram, and his sister Shubudra, of a white and yellow color, each on a separate tower, and sitting on thrones of nearly an equal height. Attached to the principal tower are six ropes, of the length and size of a ship's cable, by which the people draw it along. The priests and attendants are stationed around the throne, on the car, and occasionally address the worshippers in libidinous songs and gestures. Both the walls of the temple and sides of the car are covered with the most indecent emblems, in large and durable sculpture. Obscenity and blood are the characteristics of the idol's worship. As the tower moves along, devotees, throwing themselves under the wheels, are crushed to death; and such acts are hailed with the acclamations of the multitude, as the most acceptable sacrifices. A body of prostitutes are maintained in the temple, for the use of the worshippers; and various other systematic indecencies, which will not admit of description, form a part of the service. A number of sacred bulls are kept in the place, which are generally fed with vegetables from the hands of the pilgrims, but, from the scarcity of the vegetation, are commonly seen walking about, and eating the fresh ordure of the worshipping crowds. In the temple, also, is preserved a bone of Krishna, which is considered as a most venerable and precious relic, and which few persons are allowed to see.
The following is an account of the burning of a Gentoo woman, on the funeral pile of her deceased husband: -- "We found," says M. Stavorinus, "the body of the deceased lying upon a couch, covered with a piece of white cotton, and strewed with betel leaves. The woman, who was to be the victim, sat upon the couch, with her face turned to that of the deceased. She was richly adorned, and held a little green branch in her right hand, with which she drove away the flies from the body. She seemed like one buried in the most profound meditation, yet betrayed no signs of fear. Many of her relations attended upon her, who, at stated intervals, struck up various kinds of music.
"The pile was made by driving green bamboo stakes into the earth, between which was first laid fire-wood, very dry and combustible; upon this was put a quantity of dry straw, or reeds, besmeared with grease: this was done alternately, till the pile was five feet in height; and the whole was then strewed with rosin, finely powdered. A white cotton sheet, which had been washed in the Ganges, was then spread over the pile, and the whole was ready for the reception of the victim.
"The widow was now admonished, by a priest, that it was time to begin the rites. She was then surrounded by women, who offered her betel, and besought her to supplicate favors for them when she joined her husband in the presence of Ram, or their highest god, and, above all, that she would salute their deceased friends whom she might meet in the celestial mansions.
"In the mean time, the body of the husband was taken and washed in the river. The woman was also led to the Ganges for ablution, where she divested herself of all her ornaments. Her head was covered with a piece of silk, and a cloth was tied round her body, in which the priests put some parched rice.
"She then took a farewell of her friends, and was conducted by two of her female relations to the pile. When she came to it, she scattered flowers and parched rice upon the spectators, and put some into the mouth of the corpse. Two priests next led her three times round it, while she threw rice among the bystanders, who gathered it up with great eagerness. The last time she went round, she placed a little earthen burning lamp to each of the four corners of the pile, then laid herself down on the right side, next to the body, which she embraced with both her arms; a piece of white cotton was spread over them both; they were bound together with two easy bandages, and a quantity of fire-wood, straw, and rosin, was laid upon them. In the last place, her nearest relations, to whom, on the banks of the river, she had given her nose-jewels, came with a burning torch, and set the straw on fire, and in a moment the whole was in a flame. The noise of the drums, and the shouts of the spectators, were such that the shrieks of the unfortunate woman, if she uttered any, could not have been heard."
Instances are related of women eighty years of age, or upwards, perishing in this manner. One case is mentioned, by Mr. Ward, of a Bramin who had married upwards of a hundred wives, thirty-seven of whom were burnt with him. The pile was kept burning for three days, and when one or more of them arrived, they threw themselves into the blazing fire.
The Pagans worship an immense variety of idols, both animate and inanimate, and very frequently make to themselves gods of objects that are contemptible even among brutes. In Hindoo, the monkey is a celebrated god. A few years since, the rajah of Nudeeya expended [USD]50,000 in celebrating the marriage of a pair of those mischievous creatures, with all the parade and solemnity of a Hindoo wedding.
A Bramin of superior understanding gave Mr. Ward the following confession of faith, as the present belief of the philosophical Hindoos, concerning the nature of God, viz.: -- "God is invisible, independent, ever-living, glorious, uncorrupt, all-wise, the ever-blessed, the almighty; his perfections are indescribable and past finding out; he rules over all, supports all, destroys all, and remains after the destruction of all; there is none like him; he is silence; he is free from passion, from birth, &c., and from increase and decrease, from fatigue, the need of refreshment, &c. He possesses the power of infinite diminution and lightness, and is the soul of all.
"He created, and then entered into, all things, in which he exists in two ways, untouched by matter, and receiving the fruits of practice. He now assumes visible forms for the sake of engaging the minds of mankind. The different gods are parts of God, though his essence remains undiminished, as rays of light leave the sun his undiminished splendor. He created the gods to perform those things in the government of the world, of which man was incapable. Some gods are parts of other gods, and there are deities of still inferior powers. If it be asked why God himself does not govern the world, the answer is, that it might subject him to exposure, and he chooses to be concealed: he therefore governs by the gods, who are emanations from the one God, possessing a portion of his power: he who worships the gods as the one God, substantially worships God. The gods are helpful to men in all human affairs, but they are not friendly to those who seek final absorption, being jealous lest, instead of attaining absorption, they should become gods, and rival them.
"Religious ceremonies procure a fund of merit to the performer, which raises him in every future birth, and at length advances him to heaven, where he enjoys happiness for a limited period, or carries him towards final absorption. A person may sink to earth again by crimes committed in heaven. The joys of heaven arise only from the gratification of the senses. A person raised to heaven is considered as a god.
"When the following lines of Pope were read to a learned Bramin, he started from his seat, begged a copy of them, and declared the author must have been a Hindoo: --
"All are but parts of one stupendous whole,
"Such are the best views of the best of men among the Hindoos. Such a mixture of truth and error, of sense and folly, do they believe and teach."
According to the best accounts that can be obtained from missionaries and others, the number of Pagans, in different countries, exceeds half the population of the globe.
Considerable attempts have been made, of late years, for the enlightening of the heathen; and there is every reason to believe good has been done. From the aspect of Scripture prophecy, we are led to expect that the kingdoms of the heathen at large shall be brought to the light of the gospel. (Matt.24:14, Isa.60, Ps.22:28, 29; 2:7, 8.) It has been much disputed whether it be possible that the heathen should be saved without the knowledge of the gospel; some have absolutely denied it, upon the authority of those texts which universally require faith in Christ; but to this it is answered, that those texts regard only such to whom the gospel comes, and are capable of understanding the contents of it. "The truth," says Dr. Doddridge, "seems to be this -- that none of the heathen will be condemned for not believing the gospel, but they are liable to condemnation for the breach of God's natural law: nevertheless, if there be any of them in whom there is a prevailing love to the Divine Being, there seems reason to believe that, for the sake of Christ, though to them unknown, they may be accepted by God; and so much the rather, as the ancient Jews, and even the apostles, during the time of our Savior's abode on earth, seem to have had but little notion of those doctrines, which those who deny the salvability of the heathen are most apt to imagine." (Rom.2:10-22, Acts 10:34, 35. Matt.8:11, 12.) Grove, Watts, Saurin, and the immortal Newton, favor the same opinion; the latter of whom thus observes: "If we suppose a heathen brought to a sense of his misery; to a conviction that he cannot be happy without the favor of the great Lord of the world; to a feeling of guilt, and desire of mercy; and that, though he has no explicit knowledge of a Savior, he directs the cry of his heart to the unknown Supreme, to have mercy upon him, -- who will prove that such views and desires can arise in the heart of a sinner, without the energy of that Spirit which Jesus is exalted to bestow? Who will take upon him to say that his blood has not sufficient efficacy to redeem to God a sinner who is thus disposed, though he have never heard of his name? Or who has a warrant to affirm that the supposition I have made is in the nature of things impossible to be realized?"
"That there exist beings, one or many, powerful above the human race, is a proposition," says Lord Kaimes, "universally admitted as true in all ages and among all nations. I boldly call it universal, notwithstanding what is reported of some gross savages; for reports that contradict what is acknowledged to be general among men, require able vouchers. Among many savage tribes there are no words but for objects of external sense: is it surprising that such people are incapable of expressing their religious perceptions, or any perception of internal sense? The conviction that men have of superior powers, in every country where there are words to express it, is so well vouched, that, in fair reasoning, it ought to be taken for granted among the few tribes where language is deficient." The same ingenious author shows, with great strength of reasoning, that the operations of nature and the government of this world, which to us loudly proclaim the existence of a Deity, are not sufficient to account for the universal belief of superior beings among savage tribes. He is, therefore, of opinion that this universality of conviction can spring only from the image of Deity stamped upon the mind of every human being, the ignorant equally with the learned. This, he thinks, may be termed the sense of Deity.

I will never understand why conservatives have so readily adopted the acronym MSM. It implies that we are out on a wing, separated from most people. Yet voting patterns show that there is a left wing in the US the same size as the right wing.
Liberals use language all the time as one of their most potent weapons. We must learn to defend ourselves from this kind of preemptive attack - in this case by saying dominant media or drive-by media or leftwing media or partisan media or legacy media or dinosaur media but not MainStream.
Libs do control most means of communication but we should not make it easy for them when we can resist their power.
Point well taken. I agree about "newspeak" weapon, and agree about the need to be diligent in resisting their power. Thanks Maica.

During practically all of my public life, I have been a sincere advocate of an agreement between the leading nations of the world to set up all the necessary international machinery that would bring about a practical abolition of war between civilized nations.
Men are often biased in their judgment on account of their sympathy and their interests.
The people can change Congress but only God can change the Supreme Court.
Lincoln would be just like me. He wouldn't know what the hell to do.
There is not much danger of the smaller nations if the big nations will behave.
In my judgment, if we had pursued this course, the zones would have been of short duration. England would have been compelled to take her mines out of the North Sea in order to get any supplies from our country.
The reason given by the President in asking Congress to declare war against Germany is that the German government has declared certain war zones, within which, by the use of submarines, she sinks, without notice, American ships and destroys American lives.
The first war zone was declared by Great Britain. She gave us and the world notice of it on the 4th day of November, 1914. The zone became effective Nov. 5, 1914.
No nation ought to keep a navy larger than is necessary to do police duty.
First, we could have defied both of them and could have gone to war against both of these nations for this violation of international law and interference with our neutral rights.

“Somos La Gran Puchica, aqui estamos, como la Gran Puchica!”
The band was formed in August of 2016 in Oakland, CA. La Gran Puchicas’ sound brings the flavors of many cultures to the stage, drawing from the diaspora of Afro-Indigenous traditions producing a sound that includes but is not limited to: Cumbia, Cumbia Chicha, Rumba, Punk and Classical.
The name La Gran Puchica represents the sound and message of the music. The band derives its name from a colloquial phrase: a la gran puchica vos! “Puchica” is the restrained version of a more vulgar term and this phrase has many uses, from denial to acceptance, from serious to slapstick. By using the proper noun of the phrase, we are essentially taking on the identity as The Grand Puchica, whereby we draw inspiration, She, being our Muse. La Gran Puchica is here to tear down walls and to have a good time doing it. The music follows suit, boldly asserting its place with all original music that will drag you onto the dance floor and with lyrics which hold a double entendre that can be uplifting, or simply, fun.
La Gran Puchica is comprised of Five members:
“Eli”: Eli Reyes, Lead Vocal
“La Mera Mera Maraconera”: Lesli Orozco, Maracones/Percussion
“Loca La Polacka en la Conga”: Jules Anastacia, Conga
“El Oso Peresozo”: Bobby Ganush, Bass Guitar
“El Gallo Cantor”: David de la Gran, Guitar/Vocal.
“El Guira Guero Tambora”: Michael Veremans, Tambora/Percussion.
Introducing, The Puchinas!:
Along with our usual members, we often times bring to the stage a few of our friends. Without them, the band just wouldn’t be here, they are the Puchinas, friends of La Gran Puchica!
“Pato”: Patricia Luna, Llamador
“La Bajista”: Elisa Micco, Bass Guitar
“Pico de Kyle”: Kyle Veremans, Bass Guitar.
“El Senor Limon”: Jerry Limón, Conga.
“El Amigo Jose”: Jose Rivèra, Tambora.
“El Lionheart”: Jhonathan Munoz Angulo, Conga.

This Irish lamb stew recipe has a hearty flavor and is easy to prepare. It's said that a good Irish stew is like a medicine that will cure whatever ails you. Just the smell of this lamb stew cooking in your kitchen will probably improve your mood.
The beer gives the dish a deep, robust taste; for a true Irish flavor, use full-bodied Guinness or another stout. If you prefer not to use beer at all, you can substitute with vegetable or beef broth. It will give a slightly different consistency but should be (almost) as tasty.
If you can't get lamb meat, it's perfectly fine to substitute boneless beef chuck or round stew meat instead. You'll get equally delicious results. To keep this dish on the healthy side, be sure to trim any fat or gristle from the meat before dredging and cooking it.
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pounds boneless, lean lamb stew meat, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 cups sliced onions
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 can (16 ounces) whole tomatoes, drained
- 1 1/2 cups dark beer, such asstout
- 8 medium garlic cloves, peeled and halved
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1 tablespoons caraway seeds (optional)
- 4 medium carrots, peeled, halved and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 medium parsnips, peeled, halved and cut into 2-inch pieces
- Sprigs of fresh thyme for garnish
In a large bowl or on a sheet of wax paper, season the flour with the salt and pepper. Dredge the lamb in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Working in batches, and adding more oil to the pot between batches if necessary, brown the lamb on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb to a bowl.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the pot and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the onions to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until softened. Return the lamb to the pot.
Add the tomatoes, beer, remaining 1/2 cup of water, garlic, thyme, caraway seeds, salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, stirring to break up the tomatoes and dissolve the paste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is almost tender.
Stir in the carrots and parsnips. Cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes more, or until the meat, potatoes and vegetables are tender. Serve the stew garnished with thyme sprigs, if desired.
Lamb Stew Recipe Tip:
The stew can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. If frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator (or place the container under cold running water to release stew) before reheating.

Its hard to believe that the Wii Sports series had been around for about sixteen years now with the very first game being released back in 2006. While the very first Wii Sports game was a classic the second major installment from ‘09 almost just as good. Wii Sports Resort was released for the Nintendo Wii console back in ‘09 and was basically a modified version of its predecessor. Wii Sports Resort was a family friendly game with avatar based character designs; which featured a variety of different sports that players could choose to participate in.
Wii Sports Resort included a variety of different activities including:
- Power Crusing
- Air Sports
- Table Tennis
Players were allowed to control characters utilizing the Wii remote & nunchucks which made for a more unique and realistic gameplay experience. The graphics and overall design for Wii Sports Resort was impressive and the game ended up becoming a massive commercial success. In fact, Wii Sports Resort was the third best selling game for the Wii console reaching over 33 million copies in sales. The prequel for Sports Resort from ‘06 ended becoming the best selling game on the Wii console reaching over 82 million in sales. If Nintendo had saved Wii Sports Resort for the Wii-U console; its quite possible that the console would have sold more between ‘12-‘16. But since the Wii-U was a commercial failure it also could of had a negative effect on the overall success of Wii Sports Resort. Along with the release of Wii Sports Resort the gaming world was introduced to the Wii MotionPlus which was only compatible with certain games. Despite, the fact that the Wii Sports series is still around today its definitely not as popular as it once was between the late 00’s-early 10’s.

GM’s autonomous driving division, Cruise, has begun its paid driverless taxi service in San Francisco and officially took its first fares last night.
Cruise has been operating a free driverless taxi service in the area since earlier this year (and got pulled over once), but last night it began charging for this service. Both Cruise and its rival Waymo, a division of Google’s parent company Alphabet, have been hoping for some time to start charging for autonomous taxi rides in California. Waymo got permission in February but has not yet started charging fares.
Cruise’s program is still quite limited, only covering about a third of San Francisco with 30 cars. While anyone can sign up, Cruise is sending out limited invites for users given the limitations of their vehicle supply and geofenced area at the moment.
Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt went on CNBC to talk with Phil LeBeau about the news this morning:
Vogt said that there were “a number” of five-star reviews (how many?) for the “handful” of rides they offered, and that users originally have some hesitance when riding in a car with no driver but eventually come to like the idea of having their own space and not needing to share it with a stranger.
The system is currently geofenced to the Northwest corner of the city of San Francisco and only runs between 10pm and 6am. This is done mostly for safety – there are fewer pedestrians and other cars on the road during those hours, making for a simpler driving situation for the autonomous vehicles involved.
The geofencing also helps make driving simpler for these vehicles. The city of San Francisco proper is actually quite small – only about 7 by 7 miles – so vehicles are restricted to an area less than about 20 square miles. And while San Francisco is not an easy city to drive in, the Northwest corner of the city is the least complex portion, with mostly residential areas arranged into a grid of low-speed streets. The Northeast portion, the downtown area, is more complex, so it makes sense that Cruise is staying in the simpler part of town for now.
Cruise wants to expand across the city quickly, though, and Vogt said that “as soon as the end of the year” it may have “hundreds” of vehicles “covering all of San Francisco.”
Vogt points out that Cruise should be able to offer drives for cheaper than taxis with drivers in them, because the driver does not need to be paid for their time.
So far, Cruise’s paid driverless taxi is less expensive than competing rideshare apps, but not by a lot. Cruise said that a 1.3 mile trip would cost 90 cents per mile and 40 cents per minute, plus a $5 base fee, for a total of $8.72 including taxes, whereas Uber would cost $10.41 for the same trip. So a cost reduction, sure, but not a tremendous one. Vogt claims that the cost will eventually drop to “far below” the cost of rideshare apps today as technology develops.
I’ve had a ride in a free autonomous taxi before (not from Cruise or Waymo) – but with a safety driver and a technician in the car, both instructed not to intervene unless necessary – and I was reasonably impressed by the experience. It was also in a geofenced area, similar to Cruise’s new effort, and the area was heavily mapped and chosen for its wide roads and relatively low traffic.
There were a couple iffy moments, but the car still handled even some complicated situations quite well. When we encountered construction with cones on the road and a worker with a handheld “SLOW” sign, the car slowed (to a crawl), to the point that the worker tried to wave us through, then noticed the driver with his hands off the wheel, then laughed with understanding once he noticed he was looking at a self-driving car.
The experience was more reassuring than what I’ve experienced in Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” mode, which has a lot of issues with phantom braking and other weird decisions, though Tesla is not geofenced and thus has a more complex job to do.
As for the overall social issues with driverless taxis, I do see the value of having your own space as the COVID-19 pandemic continues on. While I am definitely a talkative taxi rider and enjoy having conversations with my driver, shared transport with strangers is one of the vectors of transmission, so having one’s own space is valuable, particularly as many have forgotten the necessity of wearing masks.
But on a longer timeline and with a wider lens, in order to fight climate change we should also be moving towards less car-dependent public transit and more mass public transit (trains, buses and so on, or perhaps driverless ride-share taxis which pick up multiple riders) and micromobility. While single-occupancy taxis will have their use, there are better solutions for transportation if we are really going to take the necessary steps to redesign our cities to tackle climate change.
Plus there is the issue of labor – paid driverless taxis will put drivers out of a job, and while that results in cost and efficiency savings for society as a whole, what it also does is channel that money away from the sizeable chunk of workers who currently make a living off of driving and towards the owners of autonomous vehicles, whether that be individuals who can purchase robotaxis as Tesla envisions, or large companies who operate fleets like GM Cruise. As a society, we need to decide whether it’s a good or bad thing to concentrate the revenue from transportation into fewer hands, or how to better distribute it if not.

The 2017 Equifax data breach compromised the personal information of 147 million people. (We have a primer if you’re not caught up.) Now, the credit reporting company is trying to make amends.
Equifax agreed on Monday to pay $671 million dollars in the largest data breach settlement ever. It’s the outcome of numerous class-action lawsuits and investigations brought against the company by the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the New York Department of Financial Services and the attorneys general of 48 states.
Up to $425 million will be used to establish a fund that will pay for credit monitoring for 10 years from all three credit bureaus and $1 million of identity theft insurance for people affected by the breach. Consumers can request a $125 cash payment if they’re already signed up for credit monitoring services.
Equifax is also offering cash payment of up to $20,000 per person for any financial losses from the breach, including time spent dealing with it.
“No amount of money can possibly cover all the damage,” said Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates. “But I hope a lot of consumers take advantage of it.”
Consumers can file a claim here. It takes approximately two minutes to complete. To prove identity theft, consumers will need documentation of stolen data, said Rheingold. They must file a claim by Jan. 22, 2020 to get compensation.
Equifax has also agreed to take “significant steps” to enhance its security. Rheingold said this is one of the most important parts of the settlement.
“It shows the steps Equifax needs to take to protect people,” he said. “It’s a promise that they will behave better.”
Don’t know if you’ve been a victim of identity theft? Here’s how to tell.

The Tradition - Ceilidh Band
This four piece Cork-based group play an exciting mixture of traditional and contemporary Irish folk music dominated by the mystical sounds of the Uilleann pipes.
When they perform at the 'afters' of a wedding, it’s usually in the form of a céilí with a dance-instructor. This works especially well when many of the guests at the wedding are from outside Ireland. Using a radio microphone, the dance instructor will teach the guests some simple Irish dances in an entertaining and light-hearted way. The emphasis here is only on fun and not on perfection of dancing technique! You do not need to know any Irish dancing.
The band will play for up to 2.5 hours with a short 15 minute break half way through. Songs will also be included between the dances. Full PA and lighting would be used.
5 piece plus dance instructor:
- Uilleann piper / flute / whistle player
- Guitar / mandolin player
- Bodhrán / percussionist
- Fiddle player
- The Dance instructor also plays accordion.
4 piece plus dance instructor:
- Musicians are as above without fiddle player.
Drinks Reception & After Dinner Entertainment:
If you decide to hire the band for both ceremony and céílí, there will be a significant discount. If we were to do this, we would play more laid back background music for the drinks reception (e.g. a lot of O’ Carolan pieces). We would keep the livelier music then for the céilí later on.
The various members of the group have crossed paths over the years in several different bands and at many a local session and offer:
- Uilleann Pipes, Panpipes and Quena
- Flute, Whistles
- Guitars and Mandolin
If your were to pick a word to describe this group's music it would be 'diverse'. As well as an impressive array of traditional music from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany (and even a little from Peru and Bolivia), they play many of their own compositions.
Although the primary focus of the group is instrumental, some lively and diverse songs are also included in the band's colourful performance.
They will take you on a musical journey from the rugged music of Donegal to the valleys of Cork and Kerry and the driving music of Sliabh Luachra.
- Unfortunately, the band is too busy to learn any special requests.
- Public Liability Insurance certificate can be provided upon request

The Greater Southwest Historical Museum is inviting the public to take a visit to yesteryear, when gangsters and flappers reigned supreme. The time when alcohol was taboo but everyone was looking to have a good time. It is the time known as prohibition.
The museum has begun a month of exploring and celebrating the period known as prohibition in the State of Oklahoma. Like most of the nation, the outlawing of the production, possession and sale of alcoholic beverages has been a part of the state's history.
"Many people think of prohibition as being something that run through the 1920s and ended in the early 1930s," said Michael Anderson, museum director. "However, in Oklahoma, the prohibition of liquor was written into the state constitution and lasted, in at least some form, all the way until 1959."
The national prohibition began in 1920 and was repealed in 1933.
The museum will kick off its observance of prohibition Thursday with a program by Kirk Roden, a member of the Murray State College History Department and a familiar face to the museum.
"This will make the third time we have had him as a speaker," Anderson said. "He always draws well. He is going to speak about the prohibition era in Oklahoma."
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with beverages and snacks and the program will start at 7 p.m. It is free to the public.
On April 26, the museum will host a fundraiser, "Speakeasy, A Prohibition Soiree." The fundraiser will serve as the opening reception to an exhibit of the prohibition years in Oklahoma. The event will start at 7 p.m. and last until 10 p.m. Those wanting to take a ride in a 1930 Model A Ford are encouraged to arrive a little bit earlier.
"It is a fundraiser but we also wanted to elevate interest in the exhibit and the museum," Anderson said.
Tickets are available at the museum and cost $20. Nicki Wood, museum curator, said the museum had collected a number of artifacts for the event that includes flapper dresses, hats, political buttons and a 1933 Anheuser Busch crate. There are a number of photographs and prints from the period in the exhibit. Wood also painted a mural that depicts images from the time period.
"This is the first time we have had an artist on staff and it's nice to have her put her artistic ability into the exhibit," Anderson said. "The artifacts are pretty much selected and it should be a good mixture of items."
Anderson said there has also been input from the public for the event.
"We have had a lot of people express interest in it and I think it goes back to people's experience in the era," Anderson said.
In addition of the exhibit, there will be entertainment throughout the evening. The dance group Two Left Feet will be on hand and will be available to teach the Charleston. The Ardmore High School Jazz Band will be at the event as well as other musicians. There will also be raffles.
To top off the experience of the prohibition era, attendees are encouraged to dress up in era-related outfits. Following the soiree, the event will be on display for three to four months.
For more information about prohibition related activities at the museum, call (580) 226-2857 or email firstname.lastname@example.org.

Bulldogs’ Yante Maten out with concussion
ATHENS, Ga. – University of Georgia freshman basketball player Yante Maten was struck by a car as he was using a pedestrian crosswalk on the UGA campus last Sunday night, according to head coach Mark Fox.
As a result of the accident, Maten suffered a concussion and will miss Georgia’s game Wednesday night at Vanderbilt. Additionally, he will not return until he has been cleared by the team’s medical personnel, in accordance with the Athletic Association’s concussion management guidelines.
Maten, a reserve forward from Pontiac, Mich., has played in all 14 games thus far in the 2014-15 season, averaging 4.9 points and 3.6 rebounds, with a team-high 26 blocks. He logged a season-high 28 minutes in Georgia’s game at LSU last Saturday.
Maten is one of four Bulldogs who are currently injured to varying degrees. Others include: Kenny Paul Geno (broken left wrist, out indefinitely); Juwan Parker (Achilles injury, game-time decision for Vanderbilt game); and walk-on guard Brandon Young (stitches above right eye, should be available for Vandy game).

France still torn over the legacy of May 1968
It was a fast-forward cultural, political and sexual revolution that still fuels passionate debate, with a flood of books, films and nostalgic magazine specials to mark the 40th anniversary next month.
For a majority of French - three quarters according to one survey - the legacy of the spring revolt is broadly positive.
But some left-wing critics argue that May 1968 let loose the individualism and unfettered capitalism of the 1980s. And a chunk of the French right remains deeply hostile to the spirit of '68.
During last year's presidential race, now head of state Nicolas Sarkozy launched a vitriolic attack blaming the moral decadence of May 1968 for everything from crime to failing schools and the excesses of global capitalism.

The tradition of ‘big meal’ attracts tourists in China
BEIJING: The arrival of the Chinese New Year around the world is celebrated festively and full of tradition, especially in the country of the great wall of China.
As usual, the day before entering the new year, the Chinese community will hold a big meal to gather relatives.
But there are others in some villages in Zhejiang and Chongqing in China that hold a traditional long table feast for the spring festival this time.
The ceremony was accompanied by music and dance, in addition to artistic events.
The ceremony, known as the Long Street Banquet, gathered more than 200 tourists, to eat together along 100 meters of the city’s main street to fuel the celebration.
The community claims that they will hold two meals a day, namely noon and night for six days.
Also involved are 150 villagers to celebrate a ‘big meal’ with their families.

The Rules are that the other 183 members are supposed to go along with whomever the United States designates to run the World Bank. It's the perquisite for providing nearly 17 percent of the bank's money - more than twice that of No. 2 Japan.
So official grousing about President George W. Bush's nomination of Paul Wolfowitz is at a minimum, even though much of the world sees it as akin to sending Darth Vader to guard the Princess Leia. Our European allies count it a direct affront.

Take Wolfowitz at the World Bank - an even bigger ideologue and one of the Iraq war's main architects. He'll shake up your poverty programs!
Yet Wolfowitz is no penny-ante conservative.
He's part of the Reagan class of 1980 who took the "best and brightest" mold from the Kennedy Democrats, and remade it to suit their ultra-Cold War views - that evil-doers, starting with the Soviet empire and continuing through to Saddam Hussein, were not to be trusted and had to be extirpated.
That's why Wolfowitz's coming transfer from the Pentagon to the World Bank looks a lot less like the latter-day attack of the neo-cons the Europeans suppose than the sleight-of-hand used in 1968 to transform Robert McNamara from Vietnam war hawk at Defense to development guru at the global lender.
Both men are smart, dedicated workaholics who believe in analysis, numbers, facts.
Both were breathtakingly nar- row when it came to real life, setting this nation on a war course based on lies, exaggerations, untruths and wishful thinking.
Both would hit the greener pastures of Third World ministra tions without admitting that their wars stemmed from lies. And the departure of both from the Pentagon would not signal an end to their wars.
Vietnam dragged on for another seven years and thousands of body bags after Pentagon chief McNamara hightailed it to the higher salary at the World Bank.
Could it be that behind Wolfowitz's nomination to the World Bank lies a Bush administration realist who understands the grave ill that the Iraq war has done to the U.S. military, to future oil-region stability and to the war on terror?
Don't count on it, even though democracy has not yet rooted in the parched soil of Iraq, no matter how fervently U.S. officials hope for it.
The country remains far more likely to fall prey to Islamists masquerading as jihadists, Iranian agents seeking Shia converts, and latter-day oil smugglers. What's more, the war has lengthened the odds of bringing al-Qaida to its knees by making our chief ally in the war on terror - Pakistan's Pervez Musharraf - dangerously unpopular with his own people.
McNamara, we learned later from his confessional autobiography - written 30 years too late - just couldn't stomach the lies any longer and wanted out. Yet he failed to summon the courage to challenge those lies publicly. He chose a murderously neutral silence.
Wolfowitz, dangerously, still believes.
"Al-Qaida is losing badly" in Iraq, Wolfowitz told the Senate this month.
"We may recall how long we waged the Cold War and how long it took to rebuild Western Europe, but in both cases we know how the story ended,"
It's the Cold Warrior's vision all over again - that billions in defense spending and other wars in remote places may be needed to make the dominos fall to the light of democracy.
Wolfowitz, the avowed numbers wonk and son of a talented Cornell math professor, couldn't get his figures right when they conflicted with his vision.
"On a rough recollection, the oil revenues of that country could bring between $50 and $100 billion dollars over the course of the next two or three years," Wolfowitz famously enthused to Congress soon after the Iraq war started in March 2003. "We're dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon."
Soon won't be this decade. America is footing the rebuilding bill, pushing total war-fighting costs over $200 billion.
How long will it take Wolfowitz to 'fess up to - or recognize - his lies?
That's a more pertinent question than how well he'll run his new World Bank sinecure for the cast-offs of wars gone bad.

Ms Yingluck and her government’s alleged corruption in the rice-pledging scheme are still going through the court process in a bid to recoup the money the government lost.
More recently, Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra was suspended without pay until further notice after allegations of corruption in office. This order was signed by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha after he invoked Section 44 of the interim charter to deal with the matter.
Even more recently, PM Prayut last Sunday (Sept 11), a day that marked national anti-corruption day, announced that Thailand will be free of corruption in 20 years.
It cannot be disputed that PM Prayut and his team are seen to be doing their utmost to clean up corruption when it comes to politics, but there is one area where it is known that corruption exists that is steadfastly ignored.
It would be of greater benefit to the public, and any ruling government, if the Royal Thai Police were seen to be clean of corruption.
It is likely that nearly all residents in Thailand, albeit that not all of them are aware of it, know of someone who has made some kind of payment to avoid being criminally charged with an act of unlawfulness, whether that be within the Royal Thai Police or even the Immigration Bureau.
But these departments appear to be off the radar as far as the war on corruption goes.
Examples of corruption shown to those in attendance at last Sunday’s ceremony included the above mentioned rice-pledging scheme and a B4.3-billion case of value-added tax fraud.
But there was not one mention of corruption being involved in any criminal case despite many believing that in some cases, such as the Red Bull heir killing an off-duty policeman while driving his Ferrari, corruption was involved.
During the said ceremony, the Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand called on Thais to be “active citizens” in curbing graft. But if they want that to happen, surely transparency in cases where the public believe corruption has played a role should be explained and relevant departments should be “active citizens” in proving that it has not.

I just finished reading “Crooked Soley: A Crop Circle Revelation by Allan Brown & John Michell” from Roundhill Press. There quite a lot of insight and inspiration in this little book. Brown shows the triangular relationship of the geography of the formation, Crooked Soley, and Straight Soley; he also has some lovely mosaics in the back that incorporate the gematrian numbers incorporated into this DNA toroidal hexagram pattern at Crooked Soley. Michell goes into more detail about the Gematrian number connections (with a focus on numbers 5040 & 7920) and their relationship to close approximation to circle radius and quarter circumference, squaring of the circle, Earth/Moon diameters, the Great Pyramid’s cross section, Stonehenge, Glastonbury, factorials, and other intriguing relationships. Patrick Harpur’s classic article concludes the book with wisdom about the important perspective that “Crop circles are not problems to be solved but mysteries to be entered, like labyrinths.” A highly recommended book!
Here is the text from the back cover:
“Crop circles are the finest, most beautiful and original art forms of
modern times, and they are totally mysterious.
Behind the crop circle phenomenon is an evident purpose. Some intelligence,
human, alien or spiritual, is in the process of communication. It is
exposing us to a course of re-education, beginning with the symbols of
sacred knowledge and wisdom.
The most striking evidence for this view is the amazing formation that
appeared at Crooked Soley in Wiltshire on the 27th August 2002. Clearly
expressed in its design are certain numerical symbols that are known
esoterically as the ‘Keys to Creation’. They are also keys to that universal
science associated with the Holy Grail. From time to time it is revealed
again, and when that happens, culture and the human spirit are renewed and
life on earth is restored to its natural state as a reflection of paradise.”

On June 3 at Dunlap’s Germania Park, the Cincy Blues Society once again hosted the daylong Cincy Blues Challenge, with dozens of regional Blues acts performing from noon-9-ish, all competing for a chance to represent the Queen City at the International Blues Challenge 2013 in Memphis. The day started out with contestants in the “Solo/Duo” category, followed by a steady stream of area groups competing for top “Band” honors.
The winners share a couple of connections. They both have ties to Dayton, Ohio. And they both competed in the 2012 International Blues Challenge … for Blues societies in other cities.
Winning the top band honors was young six-string wiz Noah Wotherspoon and his band, who will head to Memphis in early 2013 to compete for the ’Nati. Wotherspoon is a Dayton native, but currently lives in Cincy. Last year, he won a band challenge and represented Dayton at this year’s IBC.
Chris Yakopcic scored the solo/duo honors and will join Wotherspoon and Co. in Memphis. Yakopcic plays acoustic, solo Blues and is a native of Pittsburgh but now lives in Dayton. Yakopcic won the Western PA Blues Challenge in the same category last year and was in Memphis for the 2012 IBC festivities.
If you’re confused, as I often am, it seems that you don’t have to be precisely from the city whose Blues organization is hosting the event to compete. Local singer/guitarist and competitor at multiple International Blues Challenges, Sonny Moorman, for example, competed for the Columbus Blues Alliance in 2009 … and won his category.
Cincy Blues Challenge winners are usually given good slots at the Cincy Blues Fest and other contestants are also invited to the festival, which returns to Cincy’s riverfront Aug.
10-11 for its 20th anniversary. Visit cincybluesfest.org for full details.
Music Festival Season in Full Bloom
With summer just inches away (June 20 is the first official summer day), the flood of local festivals with a musical component is picking up considerably. We’ll keep track of all things festival this summer, but here’s what’s up this weekend.
• On Saturday, the Northside Tavern hosts the fourth annual Northside Music Festival (not to be confused with Brooklyn’s Northside Festival, which also kicks off this week). The free event begins at 7 p.m. and features several local acts, as well as North Carolina rockers The Old Ceremony (who recently joined the roster of esteemed label Yep Roc) and Louisville’s Joan Shelley and the June Brides. Local acts scheduled to appear: You, You’re Awesome, The Tongue and Lips, State Song, The Hiders, Fists of Love, Valley of the Sun, Nic Powers (The Sweep), DJ Bryan Dilsizian, Ohio Knife and Magnolia Mountain. The Northside Music Festival will also feature outdoor grilling and other food options, cool limited edition posters and door prizes throughout the night. Music on the patio will be open to all ages until 10 p.m.; the rest of the fest is 21-and-up only. (www.northside-tavern.com)
• Meanwhile, in the Columbia-Tusculum part of town, Stanley’s Pub is hosting the second annual Stanley’s Reggae Fest this Saturday. Music starts at 6 p.m. and the fest includes an indoor and outdoor stage, Jamaican food and Red Stripe beer specials. Performing this year are local groups The Cliftones, The Ohms, The Zionites and The Newport Secret Six, as well as Columbus crew the Andy Shaw Band. Tickets are $12 at the door.
• Saturday and Sunday sees the return of the Cincinnati Juneteenth Festival to Eden Park. Juneteenth commemorates the anniversary of the end of slavery — on June 19, 1865, slaves in Galveston, Tex., were finally told about the Emancipation Proclamation a year and a half after it was issued.
Cincinnati’s Juneteenth event celebrates its 25th anniversary with this year’s event, which includes a variety of activities, vendors and, of course, music and other artistic and cultural exhibitions. Saturday’s festivities run from noon-9 p.m., with music from Basic Truth, the Rollins Davis Band, Bi-Okoto, The Last Boppers, Mz. Jaz, Baoku and the Image AfroBeat Band and others. Headlining Saturday are the Philly Intruders Review and the Rick James Stone City Band. The Juneteenth fest continues Sunday, 2-6 p.m., with a special Father’s Day Concert filled with local Gospel talent. For full event information, visit juneteenthcincinnati.org.
• The free MidPoint Indie Summer concerts
on Fountain Square are kind of mini-music festivals leading up to a
much bigger festival (MidPoint 2012, coming this September). This
Friday, the Indie Summer show kicks off at 7 p.m. with local Indie Pop
group Belle Histoire, which is gearing up for the national release of
its first LP, Dreamers, coming in mid-July. Local Indie Pop
headliners The Seedy Seeds are fresh off a tour with The Winter Sounds,
so they should be extra, super-tight. (Bay Area singer/songwriter Wymond
Miles also performs.) Visit myfountainsquare.com for more info.

Bob Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981), born Nesta Robert Marley which was later to be changed by passport officials to Robert Nesta Marley, was a Jamaican singer-songwriter, guitarist, and activist. He was the most widely known writer and performer of Reggae, and more specifically Roots Reggae. He is famous for popularising the genre outside of Jamaica and the Caribbean. Much of his music dealt with the struggles of the spiritually wealthy rasta and/or spiritually powerful Jah Rastafari.Read More...
Starting out in 1963 with the group Bob Marley & The Wailers, he forged a distinctive song-writing and vocal style that would later resonate with audiences worldwide.
The Wailers would go on to release some of the earliest reggae records with producer Lee Scratch Perry.
After The Wailers disbanded in 1974, Marley pursued a solo career which culminated in the release of the album Exodus in 1977 which established his worldwide reputation and became one of the world's best-selling artists of all time, with sales of more than 75 million albums and singles.
Bob Marley was a member of this Rastafari movement, whose culture was a key element in the development of reggae. Bob Marley became the leading proponent of the Rastafari, taking their music out of socially deprived areas of Jamaica and onto the international music scene.
Now considered a "Rasta" prophet, Marley's adoption of the characteristic Rastafarian dreadlocks and famous use of marijuana as a sacred sacrament in the late sixties were an integral part of his persona. He is said to have entered every performance proclaiming the divinity of Jah Rastafari.
A few months before his death, Marley was baptised into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and took the name Berhane Selassie (meaning the Light of the Holy Trinity in Amharic).
His best known songs are a mixture of reggae, Roots Reggae, and rhythm and blues, which include:
I Shot the Sheriff
Could You Be Loved
No Woman, No Cry
Three Little Birds
Is This Love
Stir It Up
Get Up, Stand Up
His posthumous album Legend (1984) became the best-selling reggae album ever, with sales of more than 12 million copies.
Bob Marley was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994; in December 1999, his album “Exodus” (1977) was named Album of the Century by Time Magazine and his song “One Love” was designated Song of the Millennium by the BBC.

Marley tragically died of cancer at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami, Florida on May 11, 1981.
Bob Marley was a member of the Rastafari movement, (not rastafaranism as that is seen as a derogortory term as Rasta's don't like being refered to as an ism) whose culture was a key element in the development of reggae music in Jamaica. Rastas belive they are outcast from their native Zion and looked on Ethiopia as their real home and Tafarai Makonnen, who took the title Haile Sellasie I(Power of the Holy Trinity in Amharic), after he became the emperor of Ethiopia, as their leader. Rastas belive H.I.M. is Jesus in flesh. Rastas are considered to be black Jews.
Rastas claim their root from King Solomon and Abbysinian queen of Sheba, through lineage of their son Menelik, emperor of Abbysinia. H.I.M. is said to be a direct decendant of Menelik. 'Ras' means Head and 'Tafarai" means Creator. 'Jah' is the shortened form of the Hebrew word Jehovah. Rastas belive in one truth and that is the truth of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Sellasie I, King of kings, Lord of lords, conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah, two hundred and twenty-fifth ruler of the three thousand year old Ethiopian empire, elect of Jah, Light of the world. Jah Rastafari live out. Rastas preach a non-materialistic, egalitarian way of life. Bob Marley became a leading proponent of the Rastafari, taking their music out of the socially deprived areas of Jamaica and onto the international music scene. Bob Marley was baptized by the Archbishop of the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church in Kingston, Jamaica on November 4, 1980.
Marley's diet was ital; fruit, vegetables and fish; which is food approved by the Rastafari movement.
Bob Marley had 13 children: three with his wife Rita Marley, two adopted from Rita's previous relationships, and the remaining eight with separate women.
His children are, in order of birth:
Imani Carole, born May 22, 1963, to Cheryl Murray;
Sharon, born November 23, 1964, to Rita in previous relationship;
Cedella born August 23, 1967, to Rita;
David "Ziggy Marley", born October 17, 1968, to Rita;
Stephen Marley, born April 20, 1972, to Rita;
Robert "Robbie", born May 16, 1972, to Pat Williams;
Rohan, born May 19, 1972, to Janet Hunt;
Karen, born 1973 to Janet Bowen;
Stephanie, born August 17, 1974; according to Cedella Booker she was the daughter of Rita and a man called Ital with whom Rita had an affair; nonetheless she was acknowledged as Bob's daughter;
Julian Marley, born June 4, 1975, to Lucy Pounder;
Ky-Mani Marley, born February 26, 1976, to Anita Belnavis;
Damian Marley, born July 21, 1978, to Cindy Breakspeare;
Makeda, born May 30, 1981, to Yvette Crichton.

"I fired 80 rounds of 200 grain bullets down range and there was never any recoil fatigue!"
I would like to thank you for the outstanding performance of your screw on muzzle brake. I built a custom long range rifle in 8 MM Remington Magnum where I am using the new 200 grain plus match bullets from Sierra and Hornandy. The new powders being made by St.Marks in Florida and being sold by Hodgdon and Winchester allow this long overlooked cartridge to really perform as it should have. 3,300 FPS out of my rifle can easily be reached with very low chamber pressures.
I knew that recoil was going to be a factor and wanted a muzzle brake that would work rather than just look good. I had a chance to shoot a TC Contender in .308 that had your brake installed and was impressed with how well it worked.
A local dealer had your brake in .30 caliber and I bought it for my rifle. Using your data I bored out the brake .040 larger than the .323 bullet. I timed the brake to my 29" barrel. A range trip to try out the new rifle was done yesterday and the results were very impressive.
The rifle has no recoil with bullets up to 165 grains. Heavier than that and the recoil was less than shooting a .223 rifle! I fired 80 rounds of 200 grain bullets down range and there was never any recoil fatigue! Without your break this could not have been done.

24 Sep Thoughts Matter Getting Older
Thoughts matter getting older. Greek philosopher Marcus Aurelius quotation “Our life is what our thoughts make it” is on my bathroom sink. Gratitude, peace, and fulfillment are thoughts to create a meaningful life.
Notes in a gratitude journal is a reminder to live a meaningful life. Life doesn’t have to be a struggle. Many times what you are grateful for today can override the bad things that happen during the day.
Leaving the Y after my work out a toddler with the cutest smile held the door for me. My heart smiled. It was obvious holding the door was very important. Many times I’ve thought about that day. Our memory can be challenging getting older. Neurosurgeon, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, says paying attention to what’s happening is good for our memory.
Before my daughter, Sherri transitioned in 2014 to the heavenly home she gave family members a thank you card for supporting her during health challenges. Printed on the card were verses from the Bible in Philippians 4:4-9.
“ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. ‘Whatever you have learned peace will be with you.” Thank you, Sherri.
The lyrics in Marcy Gray’s song “Beauty in the World” and Louis Armstrong “It’s a Wonderful World” are thoughts about hope.
“I know you’re fed up. Like a lead up for us. All they talk about us. What is going down? What’s been messed up for us? When I look around, I see blue skies. I see butterflies for us.”
I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you. And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
In spite of us, it is a wonderful world.
Finding fulfillment think about life experiences that bring satisfaction. My friend told me when I have a bad day think about my trip to Israel with my daughter. The trip to Israel was awesome and life-changing.
Here’s how to think about what matters getting older.
- Read powerful quotations or a good book to think about what matters.
- Start a gratitude journal.
- Find peace in small things during the day.
- Discover or rediscover abilities that bring meaning to your life.
- Listen to music that soothes your soul.
It’s your life! Think about what matters!
