Credit: The Cabal The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger. "Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix." We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research. YOU be the Judge and get informed. "I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat."

Parents can teach kids to stop abductions

(CNN) -- Children may be smaller and weaker than would-be abductors, but with their parents' help, they can learn techniques to resist and escape predators, a child safety expert said.
{Please read entire article, these are just highlights}
From the onset of an abduction attempt, children should make as much noise as loudly as possible from the beginning and continually throughout the assault.
"Sometimes kids are afraid to do that because their abductor is telling them, 'If you say a word, I am going to hurt you.' Tell your child no matter what this person says, ... you can make as much noise as you want to."
Children should deny requests for help from strangers, which is a common abduction ploy.
Here are a few to teach, practice and review with children.
Outside a car:
Avoid being alone, and don't take shortcuts.
Never walk over to a car for any reason. Getting near and in a car increases the chances of being taken away and hurt.
If approached, do not leave the area.
Do not help an adult you do not know.
Remember 911 calls at pay phones are free.
Scream loudly for help, run to another adult, gripping and holding onto that other person. Stuber said this "Velcro technique" forces the other adult to listen and pay attention.
Rotate arms forward quickly and repeatedly making big circles in the air. This windmill technique prevents a larger and stronger assailant from getting a grip on the moving child. Don't just try to pull away because the adult is stronger. Always rotate the arm to break free of the grip if restrained.
If on a bicycle, hug the bicycle tightly, refusing to let go. "If you hold that bike, and do not let go, it's impossible to put you in a car," Stuber said. If a bike is not available, grab a garbage can or a long stick, any large object that prevents entry into a car.
If the abductor shows a gun, run. No matter what the person says, keep running. There is only a slim chance they will try to shoot you. Firing a gun draws attention.
Always scream.
Inside a car:
The first step should be for the child to open the door and get out.
If in a four-door car, jump into the back seat and go out a back door quickly.
Place something inside of the ignition cylinder -- gum, a small button from clothing -- to keep the abductor from driving them to another location. Stuber said that if the car can be stopped or the potential crime can be stopped in the neighborhood, then the crime is going to come to an end.
If locked in a trunk, remove the taillight panel which comes off easily, and disconnect the taillight wires. "Now you increased the odds 50 percent that the police will pull the car over because it has not brake or tail lights," Stuber said, "then they will hear you inside."
Finally, Stuber advises parents to always practice escape measures with their children. "Kids will not yell and scream when they are in trouble just 'cause you tell them to," he said. "You have to let them practice it."

Someone who the dems should eat for dinner?
When I was 17 someone gave me an eye on a chain {amulet} the exact color of mine, yes and I still have it, should I dig it out, get my Sheppard and walk past the mosque?
Summary Ping
Thank you Flutters!
Your system is great and nothing important is missed
J? After you've moved how abouts archiving these?
Don't be sorry for nothin', you providing the post # with the headline makes referencing easier than we've had it since we began TM
"Red Dawn." I just watched that most excellent movie about five times over the weekend and Monday night. There are at least a thousand lessons to be learned in that flick.
Remember the radio which Mr. Mason gave to the Wolverines? Anti-EMP, wrapped in plastic and inside a metal pound-cake tin.
"That this nation shall not perish from the earth."
I am so glad you are sharing your well known picotrials here at TM! Thanx Dio!!!
Some years back, a old friend (an ex-cop at the time, who later went on to become sheriff) told me that a straight-back kick to the knee won't do very much damage. He said the knee will just lock up at the rear and be protected (until the kick is finished).
He said that to drop someone, you want to kick the knee sideways, because it only takes about 12 lbs or so to tear the ligament that holds it all together. (The front-back connections are very strong, but the sideways ligaments are apparently very weak, not designed to withstand much trouble.)
TM just parallels way too much to be coinky dink on
The Grid!!!
The writers lurk or are someone we know here!
The main question is, is there a Masonic temple right by this church?

The great thing about being a meterologist is that being wrong only 50% of the time will probably earn you a promotion.

turns out it was all an innocent 'misunderstanding'
I've looked on 6 local news channels:
NBC local:
By 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, the hazardous materials response had been upgraded to a Level 2 response, and three ambulances were sent because bomb and arson officials found a container with wires similar to a bomb when they opened the suitcase, according to Pang. The upgraded response is "just standard operating procedure in case anything happens," he said.
Around 11 p.m., police announced that the device was not incendiary in nature.
