California's Earthquake.....

Broken Wine bottles.

The strongest earthquake [6.0-magnitude] in 25 years in Northern California struck early Sunday.

"Everything and everyone in Napa was affected by the quake. My house, along with everybody else's, is a disaster. It looks like somebody broke in and ravaged the place, room by room," said CNN iReporter Malissa Koven, 

Nearly 160 were treated for minor injuries at the emergency room at Queen of the Valley Hospital.

At least 15,000 customers in and around Sonoma, Napa and Santa Rosa lost power.

In historic downtown Napa, the bricks and beams that once made up buildings' facades lay splayed in the street. Shattered glassware covered the floor of a local restaurant. One home had visible charring from a fire that occurred in the aftermath of the quake. Gas leaks and downed power lines were also reported.

All in all it was nothing major for such a strong Earthquake. Nothing to report.

Just a thought.

Family...!*

British security services MI5 reportedly identified a British hip-hop artist as the key suspect in the hunt for the killer of American journalist James Foley.

The Sunday Times newspaper said Abdel Bary, from West London, had become a crucial part of the investigation. “senior government sources.”

Bary, 23, is the son of an Egyptian-born militant who is awaiting trial on terror charges in New York tied to the deadly 1998 bombings of embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

The Islamic State carried out what American officials called its first “terrorist attack” against the U.S., meaning the killing of American journalist James Foley.

U.S. intelligence and military officials have begun collecting geographic information about current Islamic State strongholds and leadership positions inside Syria, CNN reported. The Obama administration has been hinting about Syrian intervention since.

For those who participate in terrorism, and their families, parents, brothers, sisters etc. who supported them, didn't report their fanatic activities, should be held responsible, stripped from citizenship and sent back to their original country.

Just a thought.

No Just God Would Stand....

“No faith teaches people to massacre innocents,” Obama said in his statement. “No just God would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day.”
The entire world is “appalled” by the brutal death of American journalist James Foley.

The United States will continue to do what it must to protect Americans and confront these Islamic extremists. “justice will be done” to those that captured and killed Foley.

A Frenchman held prisoner claims he knows who the American journalist’s executioner is — a jihadist known as ‘John the Jailer.’
He is believed to be from London, was reportedly the “lead rebel negotiator during talks earlier to release 11 hostages – eventually handed to Turkish officials after ransom paid,” according to The Guardian.

An international manhunt is underway by the FBI, MI5 and Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command. The CIA and other similar agencies are on it as well. From the voice, the manner, the size, someone will recognize and reports him. Or he may become burden to ISIS as he is bringing trouble to them.

Just a [promised] thought

Remove the wheels- My Call...

U.S. drones and fighter jets have launched strikes across Iraq, hitting additional targets in the area of the vital Mosul Dam.   ISIS collapsed.

Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans said the fight against Islamic State insurgents can only be successful if the jihadi militants are confronted in Syria as well as Iraq. U.S. government finding a common enemy with the Assad regime, which is fighting militants on their side of the border.

US can't partner with Assad overtly at this time, but the logic and trajectory of White House policy in Syria leads in that direction."

President Al-Assad’s forces have significantly stepped up their own campaign against militant strongholds in Syria, carrying out dozens of air strikes against the Islamist group’s headquarters in the past two days. Syria forces didn't collapse after years of fighting unlike Iraq.

ISIS success is due to "the wheels on their brutal wagon". Take the wheels off [movability and Qatar money support] and it will be flat on its back.  It begins with supporting the Assad in this goal.

Just a [serious] thought.

Onion-Ferguson

Shortly before noon on Aug. 9, Brown walked into Ferguson Market and Liquor, a convenience store on West Florissant Avenue. At approximately 11:51, according to a police report, an officer received a call that a robbery was in progress at the store. But the suspect, who a Brown family lawyer has acknowledged “appears to be” Brown from surveillance footage, was gone when the officer arrived.

It is reported on the police communication system with the description of Brown and his friend. Then the officer seen the two attracting the attention to themselves.

What happened in the video in the market [Robbery] is exactly what happened in the street with the officer. One exception, the officer got a gun and was at fear for his life.

If it was calm situation the officer could have used one bullet to cause the same damage, but what happened indicates that the officer was in fear of his life and that the distance between both were just few feet.

Witnesses have said they saw a scuffle between the officer and Brown at a police car before the young man was shot. 

Others said a 6-foot-4, 292-pound Brown charged at Wilson, prompting the officer to fire at least six shots at him.

The politicians and the officials are silent about the contact, but all is coming out gradually and soon.

Just a thought.

Medicine for Obesity?

More than a third of U.S. adults are obese. [ according to the CDC]. Obesity is linked to higher rates of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and some types of cancer,

"you need to loose weight." The patient know but the doctor should tell them how.

In general over the years, people have regarded obesity as a problem of the patient," that it's their responsibility for becoming obese and it's their responsibility to become lean again."

Zafgen's compound, beloranib, is in mid-stage trials in obesity and a rare disease called Prader-Willi Syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by an uncontrollable drive to eat. It aims to reduce appetite; "it works to really impact the way that the body handles fat," representative said.

The area had been plagued by safety concerns, including fen-phen, linked to heart-valve problems, and Abbott Meridia, was tied to heart attacks and strokes.

So don't hold your breath, try proper Nutrition and minor exercise for now. You may amaze yourself at the progress.

Just a thought.

The Red ... Guo..

RCSC’s troubles started in 2011, when Guo Meimei posted numerous pictures of a lavish lifestyle on Sina Weibo. She claimed to be a manager of the Chinese Red Cross, and her postings sparked outrage from people who saw them as evidence that donations to RCSC were being embezzled.

RCSC denied any affiliation with her, and she admitted in a (and highly publicized) television confession that she had lied about having a position with RCSC.
Still, the damage had been done. As a result of the scandal, donations to RCSC decreased year-on-year.

As thousands in southwest China struggle in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, the country’s main charity has a plea: forget rumors and scandals of the past and open your wallet now.

Guo Meimei, widely considered China’s most brazen “professional mistress”, came through the same means she achieved fame and notoriety an indiscriminate series of ostentatious and overly revealing internet blog posts.

Ms Guo, 23, was arrested by police with seven others ahead of the football World Cup final, amid a crackdown on the massive illegal online betting on the tournament. Rather indiscreetly, she had been bragging to her legion of nearly two million followers on Weibo – China’s broad equivalent of Twitter – about the big bets she was making.

It is ALL about ME???          Just a thought.

A time to Loot?????



Seems like lighting a devise.

 Unrest in Ferguson flared anew after the local police released a video showing the alleged participation by Brown in a convenience store robbery.

Missouri Governor imposed curfew after a week of racially charged protests and looting. Police arrested seven protesters.

A person was shot and critically wounded during the night. It was not clear why, and the shooter was still at large.

Police used tear gas and smoke bombs to push back crowds.

"I think the first message is to remind all law enforcement that they are hired to serve and protect and if they’re going to sit back and watch looting, they're not serving us; they’re not protecting us," Pastor Robert White told the station.

From what is happening, people wants the police to protect them from professional  looters, and criminal elements impeded in the demonstration.

It looks like we need more police than before.

Just a thought.
