It appears that Britain suffers from the same problem that we recently did in America. They, for some unknown reason, voted politically correct rather than the obvious, very suspicious, just like our last election here in America. We will never know the truth.

Just a few minutes ago reporting hacks like Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks made an embarrassing attempt on her part to try and analyze why Susan Boyle lost. She confused the hype around Adam Lambert that was molded by agents with the true sponataneous outpouring of support from everyone around the world for Susan Boyle. Do some homework next time Lyndsey before you try and understand the Boyle Factor in a given situation. An education would be an outstanding start.

Susan Boyle overcame the pressure and the jealousy of the media to move the hearts of Great Britain. But something was amiss and the voting seemed highly suspicious. She already won before even stepping foot on the stage, in fact Susan won the very first night with her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream. She had little competition from the others even though some talent was visible. The issue was the pressure of BGT to keep the so diverse and politically correct. The much to do about nothing little boy singer with the name that no one can remember or pronoun was there to balance out the look of the show. Unfortunately for everyone else on the show is that all the planet recognized and admired the talent of Susan Boyle from day one.

The media had attempted to paint Susan Boyle in an unfavorable light, I won’t even address the comments of the media mafia, they were just plain lying and spinning the story to hear themselves talk.

Susan congratulations, WE LOVE YOU. Best of luck before the Queen, hopefully the white queen has enough class to invite Susan Boyle privately, and we look forward to your album if you choose to share your beautiful voice with the world. I know this writer will be first in line to buy one.

UNITED STATES CODE

§171. Conduct during playing

During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there.

Why did I post this blog? For the first time in over 20 years I thought I might watch an NHL playoff game. I love hockey and most other sports but have not wasted my time watching them over the past 20 years. I thought I would be better off fulfilling my dreams rather than watching others living theirs. Back on point, I turn on the Detroit game and watch the opening, during the signing of the National Anthem I did not see one player or coach from either team with their hand over their heart. I guess I am getting old and I get annoyed at the total lack of understanding by most people of what it took to form this country and secure our liberties. I turned the game off.

Obama Disrespects Our Flag

Obama Disrespects Our Flag

As for this picture of Barack, I cannot get this out of my head when I think of him as the man that is currently in the Oval office. I figure I owe him the same respect that he gives my country.

Asked whether Obama normally puts his hand over his heart while listening to the national anthem, Obama spokesman Bill Burton replied by e-mail: “Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn’t. In no way was he making any sort of statement, and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous.” WAIT – WHAT – sometimes he doesn’t, he is the commander in chief?? AHHHHHH

America keep an eye on how he salutes when he does. Is the elbow bent with the hand over the heart, left breast? Or is the elbow bent just past 90 degrees with the hand placed deliberately below the heart and more towards the stomach? Or is the hand purposely opened with all the fingers open more than usual or does the hand form a V with the middle and ring finger? Do on search on this practice by rebellious groups of certain races and beliefs, you may be surprised.

The word “happiness” would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. Carl Jung

It is more than obvious that Carl Jung is not the first to quote on dualism, it is as old as civilization. There is truly not much new under the sun. I say this because when the quote was made in the bible the writer was not aware of Newtonian physics or Quantum Physics, let alone the currently unknown laws of CS Observation.

Grizzly Bear in the Wild

Grizzly in the Wild

Tens of thousands of animals of the land, sea and air travel in groups, packs or large herds. The grizzly bear does not and spends most of it adult life living alone. The majestic and docile bear covets it privacy, it is easily provoke and will not hesitate to attack when another creature invades it territory, including other grizzlies.

Grizzlies take great care to avoid other creatures and other grizzlies. Unless hunting for food they grizzly will avoid humans. They feed mainly on fish and berries. Almost every single grizzly attack on humans has been in defense of their young or because the human invaded their territory.

Adult male grizzlies have been known to kill young grizzly cubs. It is speculated that they do this out of a desire to mate with the female or that they are hunger or annoyed because their territory and personal space has been invaded.

UPDATE: 05/30/09  The first reports of the Siege bowling ball reaction are starting to trickle and circulate through the bowling industry. It looks like Brunswick has finally unlocked the code. This ball is awesome and will give Storm a run for its money. Check back often for our Siege bowling ball review and exclusively produced video.

An all new core and coverstock with an asymmetrical core that will blow you away using your favorite drilling layout.

Brian Halstrom Brunswick Siege Drilling Layout

The new Brunswick Siege is the first in their new series of Pro Performance balls and features the new MACE asymmetrical core as well as the new solid Recoil coverstock.

Pin to PAP (4 1/2″ over 1/2″ up) – 5″
Mass Bias – 2″ right of Center Line

Surface Preparation – Left at Box Finish

What I Was Looking For In This Layout: We’ve been hearing that Brunswick was looking to create something that was very aggressive and this was that ball. I was looking for this ball to really move on the backends for me.

What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: I’d have to say that this layout gave me a great look on heavy oil. I tested this ball on a modified house shot with a higher volume of oil. The Brunswick Siege really starts gripping the lane early because I left the surface at box finish.

With the combination of the new M.A.C.E. core and Solid Recoil coverstock, this ball generates a ton of reaction and a very large flare around the ball. I would have to say that this ball flares nearly 7″ for me.

On the heavier oiled condition that I tested the Brunswick Siege on, I stood on the 30 board and stroked the ball out to around 8 at the breakpoint. With the box surface and strong midlane reaction, this ball had no problems at all getting back to the pocket and exploding the pins. I even left a few nine pins which isn’t a bad thing with the matte surface.

To see what this ball could do, I moved right on the approach to try and play a tighter line to the pocket. This line worked well too as the ball did not seem to have any difficulty clearing the heads.

As the lanes broke down, the surface at box finish proved to be too much for me. This is going to be a great addition to my bag for heavy oil. For lighter to medium oiled shots, all you would need to do is hit the coverstock with some Brunswick Factory Finish Polish and it would react great on the backends.

I think Brunswick did a great job in creating the Siege with the new M.A.C.E. core and wrapping it with the Solid Recoil coverstock. I recommend this ball to anyone in search of more hook in heavy oil.
