Actually it was the West that switched in 1750. Russia didn’t switch calendars until the early 1900’s and even then they kept Christmas and New Years on the original dates. Jan 7th and 14th. I guess they’ve changed New Years to Jan 1, but I think they just party until the 14th.

Iran:
Record 12,000 candidates sign up for Iran’s parliamentary elections; most since 1979 Islamic revolution, state media reports.
TEHERAN (AFP) – More than 12,000 candidates have signed up for Iranian parliamentary elections due to be held in February, the most since the Islamic revolution in 1979, official media said Saturday (Dec 26).
The number of people who registered to stand before a Friday (Dec 25) deadline was up nearly 70 per cent compared with the previous legislative polls in 2012, the interior ministry said.
Women accounted for 11 per cent of the hopefuls for the 290 seats available in the Feb 26 vote, up from eight percent last time.
The proportion of candidates below the age of 50 increased from 67 per cent to 73 per cent.

Europe Needs to Regain Control of its Borders, Germany’s Foreign Minister Says
BERLIN, Dec 26 (Reuters) – Europe needs to regain control of its borders, Germany’s foreign minister was quoted on Saturday as saying, after reports that forged Syrian passports are in the hands of Islamic State militants.
More than a million refugees, many fleeing war and violence in the Middle East, have arrived in Germany this year. Since last month’s Paris attacks, concern has grown that Islamist militants may enter undetected among the influx.
On Tuesday, German media quoted Bavaria’s Interior Minister as saying that refugees with fake Syrian passports have disappeared in Germany and there are grounds for suspicion that they may have had contact with Islamic State militants.

Hey Wee, I wonder if we could invent that? Does anyone have a patent on a 55 gallon coffee maker? Maybe we could just upgrade even more and have one of those tanker trucks full of good coffee? With this gang it might last past lunch even.

I’ve had to disable the Windows 7 auto update on all our workstations and notebooks since Microsoft keeps slipping Windows 10 upgrade in to the critical update list. I have to block updates to half the applications as well since they seem to want your data on the cloud instead of your hard drive. I know a few people that still use XP for business and are very happy there are no more updates. Their systems no longer regularly crash.

I have been searching for information on a young woman who as a 13 year Yemeni girl was the subject of a short documentary, her name is Najmia and sadly I assume she is dead or a slave wife of a Muslim. The only information I can find about her is that 7 months after the short film was made that her father forced her to withdraw from school and wear a burqa.
Anyhow I came across this video from a former Muslim it is very simple, simple enough that I am going to send it to some dopes who think that Islam is a “religion” and that it is peaceful.
