First hand account of the 1992 LA Riots...(not me)
The average person just has no idea of what a thin veneer civilization is until it cracks underfoot. I have to say honestly - neither did I before the riots.
The thing rocked my world so violently that I have never really been the same person. I think my personality was altered as a result of the riots and I have kind of been on another plane of awareness ever since. I never really came down off the adrenalin and returned to my sleepy eyed sheeple state afterwards.

Dissecting The 911 Call Zimmerman Made A LEO's Take ......
Reader Carl S. sent this over to EHOWA ( NSFW link) it's a pretty good breakdown of what he thinks is happening during the 911 call to the Police.
( Carl, wrote this to Ernie)
I, like you, at first cringed when I heard the story of the Zimmerman/Martin shooting. I too thought Zimmerman was guilty as hell of out right murder. But in light of recent reports, and after doing what I should have to begin with an LISTENING to the 911 call Zimmerman made, I've come to a totally different conclusion. Let me tell you why. As a former small town cop I finally did what I should have done before jumping to conclusions and really paid attention when listening to the youtube video of Zimmerman's 911 call and a few things caught my attention.

As a former small town cop I finally did what I should have done before jumping to conclusions and really paid attention when listening to the youtube video of Zimmerman's 911 call and a few things caught my attention.
1. Zimmerman sounds very calm if a bit agitated during the beginning of the call. He describes Martin's clothing, expresses his concern over Martin's actions, etc in a calm level tone. He does mutter "They always get away" or something like that at one point, possibly referring to the burglaries the neighborhood had been experiencing.
2. At one point he describes Martin coming toward him and checking him out. At this point Zimmerman is still in his vehicle. Even then he doesn't sound excited or extremely concerned. You can hear a hint of anxiety in his voice, but not a lot.
2. At around 2:05 on the playback Zimmerman says "Shit, he's running" and you can hear the quality of the sound on the call change shortly thereafter. It sounds to me like he exited his vehicle as you can hear the wind noise over the phone. Also, you can hear Zimmerman panting, like he's running. Several reports now say that Zimmerman was an overweight and had asthma, which would lead me to believe he wasn't running very hard, LOL.
3. At 2:20 the dispatcher asks Zimmerman if he's following Martin. When Zimmerman says yes the dispatcher tells Zimmerman "We don't need you to do that". Listen closely after than.
4. Within just a few seconds Zimmerman stops running, you can hear it in the way he's breathing and not gasping as he talks. This shows me Zimmerman STOPPED chasing Martin as instructed by the dispatcher.
5. At 2:37 Zimmerman states "He ran." Now if he was still chasing Martin he would have said "He's still running" or something along those lines. "He ran" tells me Martin is no longer in his sight and that Zimmerman is NOT chasing him, as does the fact Zimmerman isn't breathing hard anymore.
6. At 2:40 to 2:55 Zimmerman is NOT gasping for air, his voice is calm for a man in his situation, and there is no indication he is still following Martin or that he can even see Martin at this point.
Through the remainder of the call Zimmerman doesn't express any interest in chasing Martin down. He's not out of breath and there is NOTHING that indicates he's still actively looking for Martin. He does express concern over giving the dispatcher his address out loud since he isn't sure where Martin is and doesn't want Martin to overhear him and thus get his address. A smart move as it turns out, since it appears Martin did return and confront Zimmerman. Add to this recent news reports that Zimmerman was attacked from behind by Martin, and that Martin broke his nose, and it changes the whole context of this incident. I'll reserve my final judgement for when/if we ever get all the facts (we know how factual the media is in their news reports), but this is looking more and more like a case of the liberal media twisting a story for their own agenda. A few links you might find interesting on the story.

Ford won’t bring back the Bronco, so someone had to.
Boutique off-road specialist ICON 4x4 has introduced an updated version of the first-generation Bronco that has the classic looks of the original but modern technology underneath.
Officially called the BR Series, it built on a chassis supplied by renowned car builder Art Morrison Enterprises and has a custom designed Atlas transfer case and Dana solid axles hung on a suspension comprised of Eibach springs and Ford Racing shocks that offers 12 inches of wheel travel.
Under the hood is the same 412 hp 5.0-liter V8 found in the Ford Mustang GT, here connected to a 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic. That’s twice the power you could get in the original truck, so it’s no surprise ICON CEO Jonathan Ward decided to fit the new one with disc brakes all around.

The NEW Total Recall Trailer...
Courtesy of Taiwan we get to see the first footage from the remake of Total Recall, the 90′s sci-fi action film starring Schwarzenegger. Colin Farrell stars with a solid cast including Beckinsale and Bill Nighy and it would be good see an attempt made at something smarter than just big set pieces in the future. With the success of Inception and Source Code, this has all the ingredients needed to cook up some real brain food. Hitting the UK in August this year, no doubt there will be more clips to come.

Forex Trading....
One of my friends does day trading of currency in the forex market. He was showing me some of the stuff he does. Have any of you tried this ? If so did it work for you?
I know it's like gambling since no one can predict the future but the more I read it seems that people
can make some extra money at it.
Other than that I have a busy day which is good, it's cold and gray here again today.

Stress Can Lead To Structural Failure
In continuum mechanics, stress is a measure of the internal forces acting within a deformable body. Quantitatively, it is a measure of the average force per unit area of a surface within the body on which internal forces act. These internal forces arise as a reaction to external forces applied on the body. Because the loaded deformable body is assumed to behave as a continuum, these internal forces are distributed continuously within the volume of the material body, and result in deformation of the body's shape. Beyond certain limits of material strength, this can lead to a permanent shape change or structural failure.
