As far as that goes? "Byron" was not the surname of the family. It was the name of the "house" that was attached to the Barony, with Estate property at Newstead Abbey, in Nottingham. George Gordon, 6th Baron Byron was her father. He was the nephew of the 5th Baron, "Mad" Jack Byron.
Properly, according to baptism, Ada and George were Gordon - of lowland Scots ancestry.
That's enough pain for any woman to bear, in the height of Victorian prudery. Her mother, Anne Isabella Milbanke, was spurned scandalously by Byron at the time - it is said for the affections of his own half-sister, Augusta. That Ada's actual first name was also Augusta, as christened by Byron, only additionally confirms some of the difficulty. Isabella was also an avid mathematical amateur. Byron dismissively abused her as "the princess of parallelograms" in correspondence with friends and colleagues, after the estrangement. When he embarked for the continent, to escape the scandal, he never saw the infant Ada again...
Nor did he have further contact with the unfortunate Medora, his sister Augusta's daughter, who was evidently sired by Byron, roughly contemporary to the marriage with Isabella.
167 individual people control 37+ Trillion dollars of actual monetary wealth in the world. I am not the reductionist.
If you think that this concentration of wealth does not produce the outcome desired by those individuals? Then you don't see that this is how they got to that position, over the last 30 years, when thety were less than 1/3 as wealthy, and how they used this influence to drive them to the current concentration.
There is NO "tea party" - tho' the passions do actually run that high, 'mong the recruited rabble. There's just the Koch's. They are the "regressive, brute" funding team, of the monied elite.
San Francisco. High level of parent-community participation in the public schools. 5 of the SF public high-schools are in the 95th percentile, nationally. Not just Lowell.
The valley? No culture. No community. Lotta money, 'tho.
I don't know who did 9/11, or how. I just know the official version is both 1) Impossible, 2) Logically inconsistent for motive, opportunity and benefit.
If that story is a farce, everything else is up for critical examination, with no credence given to official explanation.
The Kenya mall attack was known well in advance. It was allowed to happen, for specific political purposes. The presence of SAS men and Israeli commandos in Westgate, at the time of the attack is remarkable.
The only question for those in possession of the facts is this: Was Westgate allowed to happen by those who could have prevented it, or was it actually sponsored by those same agencies?
"Alsatian dogs were used to terrify prisoners and then ‘maul’ them. There are other similarities with Abu Ghraib: various indignities were devised using human faeces; men were forced to sodomise one another. They also had sand, pepper and water stuffed in their anuses. One apparently had his testicles cut off, and was then made to eat them. ‘Things got a little out of hand,’ one (macho European) witness told Elkins, referring to another incident. ‘By the time we cut his balls off he had no ears, and his eyeball, the right one, I think, was hanging out of its socket. Too bad, he died before we got much out of him.’ Women were gang-raped, had their nipples squeezed with pliers, and vermin and hot eggs thrust into their vaginas. Children were butchered and their body parts paraded around on spears." http://www.lrb.co.uk/v27/n05/bernard-porter/how-did-they-get-away-with-it

ICANN and ARIN are kicking the US off.
That's not fatigue.
No, you're thinking of Grace Hopper.

Normal. That's what you call Byzantium? ;-)
I think of the Secret History, by Procopius.
I always LOVED the Flintstones(tm) !
No. That's Linda Lavin.
Lady Augusta Ada Lovelace, nee Byron?

You took the bait.
There is only one game in town.

Ash-heap of history.
Don't be such a douche. It's because 85% of illness will never cross the deductible barrier.
You either get it, or you're brainwashed.

It will be a good thing, when America slides down the hole that swallowed Rome, Assyria, Babylon and Egypt.
Would you like a Palantir with your Siri, or just plain Narus and Amdocs?
Why on earth would that matter?
I am an adherent to a spiritual community that has been historically persecuted by Islamic judges and theologians.
Stage management. Drama. Theatrics.
In the end? The powerful will be more so - you will pay more, and get less.
Mission accomplished, and your expectations diminished, as planned.
Nuf Said.
Woolwich? Pull the other one.
That macho, has-been? The one with the pickup truck on blocks, in his yard, and the bed lined with empty Coors Lite cans?
Yeah. That's America.
The US? More snakes in the food chain - each extracting a rent, without adding value before passing it on.

The Kenyan Human Rights Commission (KHRC) estimates that 90,000 Kenyan’s were executed, tortured or maimed during the colonial government’s crackdown, while 160,000 were detained in appalling conditions

Fake.
Just like the "terrorists" the FBI keeps "catching".
