Christmas Eve In The White House

Not much was happening, they were all partied out.

A news reporter for a San Francisco television station has reunited rock guitarist Carolos Santana with a former bandmate he hadn’t seen in decades and who now lives on the streets of Oakland.
Reporter Stanley Roberts ran into percussionist Marcus “The Magnificent” Malone while working on a story about illegal dumping last week, KRON-TV in San Francisco reports.
Although he initially was skeptical of the homeless man’s claim that the Santana Blues Band got its start in his mother’s garage in the late 1960s, Roberts checked out the story and confirmed it. And on Friday, he took Santana for a surprise visit to the camper where Malone has been staying.
“You don’t know how afraid I am to let you see me,” Malone said softly after he and the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer embraced.
“We cherish you,” Santana replied. “It’s an honor to be in your presence.”
Santana has credited Malone with being an important influence on his Afro-Latin sound, according to former Rolling Stone magazine writer Ben Fong-Torres’ book “Not Fade Away: A Backstage Ticket to 20 years of Rock & Roll.”
Malone played congas on Santana’s eponymous first album, but left the band in 1969 shortly before its seminal performance at Woodstock when he was imprisoned for manslaughter, according to Fong-Torres.
The two men told Roberts they had not seen each other since then. During their meeting on Friday, Santana promised to bring Malone a set of congas and to help him get on his feet.
Since Roberts’ story aired, another original member of the Santana Blues Band, percussionist Rod Harper, and producer Bobby Scott also have expressed interest in reuniting with Malone.

Late last week it was learned that some 40 million charge cards were obtained using physical processing systems located in Target retail locations nationwide. Though no details of the how the hack attack was executed have been released by Target, the FBI or other agencies investigating the breach, it is likely that the processing machines themselves were compromised. Target claims that the hack was sophisticated, but on the technical side, once hackers found a way into the credit card processing machines, probably via remote entry from servers somewhere in Eastern Europe or Russia, the theft of credit card data itself would have been fairly straight forward by using scripts or applications that simply capture the data and send it off to servers owned by the hackers.

Well here it is Christmas eve. I’ve been trying to think of how to say this so as not to offend anyone on this day.
So without further ado MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
My political correctness needs work. Maybe next year. Naw, I’ll just have to go with MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Have great day today and tomorrow everyone.
WEB Notes: While most of us will enjoy a Christmas with our family and friends in a warm home with full bellies… Our Christian brothers and sisters in the Middle East are not as fortunate. They are suffering for their faith, they are loosing their homes and lives. Please pray for God to direct them to safety if it be His will in Jesus Name Amen.
(Liberty Voice) – The Christians who still live in the Holy Land face a Christmas that will be far from happy, merry or bright. They are a persecuted minority. Continue reading “Far From Happy Christmas for Christians in the Holy Land”

“Every home in America can run on wind energy. In fact these units can be installed on existing power poles in rural areas, to catch the wind and send its energy back to the plant.”
– Raymond Green, Inventor
In 1913, Inventor Nikola Tesla patented a bladeless steam turbine that he claimed was the most efficient and the most simple rotary engine ever designed. Due to a lack of high-quality materials, Tesla was never able to properly build his engine. Continue reading “Tesla Technology: 5 Bladeless Turbines About To Revolutionize Energy Production”
Furious? Oh, really? You can be sure it’s feigned anger, and certainly no surprise to congressional oversight “watchdogs”. This transferring of US technology to foreigners has been going on unhindered for decades; certainly as far back at least from WWII Lend Lease. See: From Major Racey Jordan’s Diary (video). Apologies and resignations acceptable as restitution, and treason will go on unaffected or curtailed. American citizens lose on these two main theft counts – – economically and national security.

TOWERING grain silos overlook the main highway in Salt Lake City at the Mormon church’s Welfare Square.

The United States becoming a net exporter of natural gas is an idea that seemed virtually impossible just a few years ago. The increase in domestic natural gas production has been dramatic, thanks to technological developments that have made previously untapped resources suddenly viable. Due to new ‘fracking’ technologies, the vast ocean of natural gas the United States is currently sitting on may hold the keys to our national energy independence.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s state archives has published a 50-year-old letter from the Mossad spy agency claiming it unknowingly offered paramilitary training to a young Nelson Mandela, along with documents illustrating the Jewish state’s sympathy for the anti-apartheid struggle in the 1960s.
The release of the documents on the archives’ website in the wake of Mandela’s death appear to be aimed at blunting criticism of the close alliance Israel later developed with South Africa’s apartheid rulers. Continue reading “Document: Israeli Mossad trained Mandela”
