My last four years were the best. I ran a one-man shop and people had to bring their work to me. As production was machine-based and documented at every step I had those who failed to put on their adult planning caps dead to rights.
My fav was when Washington decided our supervisors should all take the Six Sigma course to improve their imagined skills. They just couldn’t find the time, energy or abilities to survive the ‘Six Sigma for big guys’ course so they took a much abbreviated version.
All the locals taking the course had to do was get me the raw msterials for the next week’s course NLT COB on Wednesday so I could schedule, compile and finish the product. These supervisors responsible for what amounted to international production frequently had to rush stuff on after the deadline, stuff that was sent to them a week prior and basically required them putting a final quantity on it and carrying it down the hall. One time they didn’t even make it by COB on Friday, requiring my coming in on a weekend at double time to get it done. Ironic part was that I already had an MBA and had taken the long Six Sigma years ago but ‘lacked the skills and education to join the club’.
Yeah, Mondays eere, without a doubt, the worst day of the week.

On the subject, if any of you have seen the ‘Assassin’s Creed’ movie you msy have noticed that the thread running through it is ‘histoty rewritten’.
They too the Reconquista and made it vile, murderous Catholic Templars pushing the civilized Muslemsvout of Spain – murdering, torturing and otherwise debauching as they went. They spliced the Inquisition in too, making it all about the evil Torquemada (though in reality he’d been dead almost 30 years by the movie’s period), dressed in his Church garb, burning heretics and Moslem Assassins, wholesale for Ferdinand and Isabella’s enjoyment.
The Moslem Assassins are portrayed as snow white counterparts to the evil Catholic Templars which, I do believe, by the movie’s period had long been disdolved in Spain and folded into other military orders. The Assassains were trying to prevent the Catholic Church from fibding a religious srtifact that would allow the Church to suppress all free will! The Moslem Assassins have been protecting it, snd allowing mankind to retain free will…Islam=free will, Christianity=enslavement.
Now you might think that the bending of history and the blatant pro-Islamic message would be lost on the audience but the entire movie, based on a popular teen video game, is carefully done. The violence is enough to keep the younguns attentive while not being graphic and bumping it up from a PG-13. The whole movie’s done in a sepia tone and the visuals don’t draw the viewer’s attention away from the anti-Christian message…in all a great pioneering piece of Hollywood pro-Islam social engineering.
I’m gonna see if I can dig around and find out who backed this financially, it’s just too blatant to be accidental, and from some unhappy Hollyork leakers this is just the beginning.

6 slice bacon
¼ c. maple syrup
¼ c. packed light brown sugar
½ c. pecans
1 can Refrigerated Biscuits

Combine maple syrup, brown sugar, and pecans. break up bacon and stir in . Divide among 8 muffin cups [of a 12-cup muffin tin].
Place the biscuits on a sheet of wax paper and sprinkle both sides with the cinnamon. Place biscuits over the bacon mixture in each of the cups, gently pressing to fit.
Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately invert onto a baking sheet. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

The White House announces that, at the request of Cambodian President Lon Nol, the bombing of Cambodia will continue until communist forces cease military operations and agree to a cease-fire. In March 1970, Lon Nol had overthrown Prince Norodom Sihanouk in a bloodless coup. Between 1970 and 1975, Lon Nol and his army, the Forces Armees Nationale Khmer (FANK), with U.S. support and military aid, fought the Khmer Rouge and Sihanouk’s supporters for control of Cambodia. During the five years of bitter fighting, approximately 10 percent of Cambodia’s 7 million people died. When the U.S. forces departed South Vietnam in 1973, both the Cambodians and South Vietnamese found themselves fighting the communists alone. Without U.S. support, Lon Nol’s forces succumbed to the Khmer Rouge, surrendering to the communists in April 1975. The victorious Khmer Rouge evacuated Phnom Penh and began reordering Cambodian society, which resulted in a killing spree and the notorious “killing fields.” Eventually, hundreds of thousands of Cambodians were murdered or died from exhaustion, hunger, and disease.

Just over a decade ago, I was working and living in a campground.
I was sitting at the picnic table outside my camper, the park was empty except for me, and I heard a roaring sound in the woods that got louder and louder. This is Fall, and deep woods on Lake Michigan. It sounded like four train engines were barreling toward me through the woods. I ran. I didn’t know what I was hearing, but instinct said “RUN!”
I made the hundred-yard dash to the store before the hail came down, but it was four inches deep, shooter-marble sized hailstones.
The sound, though. Unbelievable. And it came out of nowhere. It wasn’t even raining.

Was in the Tornado Breakout of 1974. Had a 5 week old – hubby laughed at me when I put the filled diaper bag and flashlight next to the door. We were on the 2nd floor and ended up running down to a garden level apartment with all our neighbors. Watched a carpet warehouse across the street have the sides blown out by huge rolls of carpeting; it also threw a boxcar off the tracks 1/2 block away.
For years I would get a panic attack in a high wind or hearing wind whistle. Nothing quite like watching the National Guard going down your street with heavy equipment to make a path. You take care this spring, sand. I have a feeling it’s going to be exciting!!

Another good piece from Daniel Greenfield:
http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/266197/civil-war-here-daniel-greenfield#.WNiiWjpjFHk.twitter
There is no form of legal authority that the left accepts as a permanent institution. It only utilizes forms of authority selectively when it controls them. But when government officials refuse the orders of the duly elected government because their allegiance is to an ideology whose agenda is in conflict with the President and Congress, that’s not activism, protest, politics or civil disobedience; it’s treason.
-snip-
The left is a treasonous movement. The Democrats became a treasonous organization when they fell under the sway of a movement that rejects our system of government, its laws and its elections. Now their treason is coming to a head. They are engaged in a struggle for power against the government. That’s not protest. It’s not activism. The old treason of the sixties has come of age. A civil war has begun.
As usual with Mr. Greenfield, the whole thing is good.

Detroit now has a pretty honest and competent mayor, an improved City Council, and passed a law that Council members must live in their districts. I think there is one member that isn’t required to do so (at large, is that the term?)
There is a lot of development because there are several people who have the money and faith in Detroit to do so. The Ilitch family, Dan Gilbert of Quicken Loans, Peter Karmanos (former owner of Compuware), and Roger Pensky are a few of the leaders who are helping to turn the city around.
