And on that mission, one of the astronauts looked back at the earth. He saw this beautiful, vibrant orb floating in black space. And it suddenly dawned on him, "This is home. That is my home."
So when we see pictures of earth from space, it looks so peaceful and beautiful, and as we get back down to street level, it can remain that way if we bring in the element of prayer—if we see each other and our earthly home as representing the spiritual idea of Truth and Love. And that becomes evident to the degree that we do that in our personal and collective experience.
I had to really stop watching the news. I was seriously in danger of apoplectic shock at Bush and all the bizarre news lately. But I have to tell you this: nothing is as it seems. As a person who has overcome unbelievable tragedy through prayer, and experienced absolute miracles in praying for others -- I know it's our job to "stand porter at the door of thought" and seek out the good no matter how much false evidence appears real, which spells FEAR. All we have to do is consciously overcome our fear with love, especially for those who offend us and look like crazy maniacs! Don't give these guys too much power by focusing on their wrongs too much. On that note, I have to at least point out the wrongs -- because "silence is complicity."
Remember: Every moment is a choice between LOVE AND FEAR.

So, what has happened to our beautiful nation? How could one administration take away our freedom, destroy our precious constitution, be bribed by anyone and everyone, blatantly lie, not care at all about the poor or the Katrina victims, condone inhumane torture and detention of innocent people, put us into eternal debt, buy off the media, get drunk and shoot someone in the face and not file a police report, destroy medicare, sell our ports to the UAE -- never be challenged and not seem to care? But we cannot lose our minds, we have to actually do something! We have to stand up to these corrupt people in the White House. And the un-American, immoral, un-Christian forces behind these people -- as well as the propaganda media. How could this happen in America? Read about how the votes were stolen below. And Hurricane Katrina has scattered thousands of people to distant parts of the U.S. where they are not registered to vote. Plus no absentee ballots! I listened to AM talk radio the past 3 nights -- and was horrified: no wonder middle-Americans have the wrong concept of Democrats/liberals! Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Rush, Al Rantell -- their sole purpose on earth is to "eradicate liberals"; every other word out of their mouths is about how horrible liberals are. At least some of them have lost faith in Bush, but that doesn't make up for their campaign against their fellow citizens. You can always tell who the good guys are though. Instead of discussing their corrupt president, they bash the other party! And they constantly talk about "killing" people who distrub them; Michael Savage actually said criminals should be rounded up, stripped naked and forced to run in the hot sun, chased by something...Isn't it perverse? The only real Christians I recognize have distinctly liberal values: tolerance, caring for the poor, equal rights, liberty, generosity, caring for the earth. LIberal means "progressive or enlightened." We must rise above this state of affairs, and it's time to take action!! We have to stop them from getting away with this. First we have to change our thought about the essence of evil; we have to stop the hatred in our own hearts, and then IMPEACH BUSH NOW!! He is not a republican, not a conservative, what on earth is he?

308,000 cancelled registrations put Bush back in the White House? by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
February 28, 2006
While life goes on during the Bush2 nightmare, so does the research on what really happened here in 2004 to give George W. Bush a second term.
Pundits throughout the state and nation---many of them alleged Democrats---continue to tell those of us who question Bush's second coming that we should "get over it," that the election is old news.
But things get curiouser and curiouser. In our 2005 compendium HOW THE GOP STOLE OHIO'S 2004 ELECTION & IS RIGGING 2008 (www.freepress.org), we list more than a hundred different ways the Republican Party denied the democratic process in the Buckeye State. For a book of documents to be published September 11 by the New Press entitled WHAT HAPPENED IN OHIO?, we are continuing to dig.
It turns out, we missed more than a few of the dirty tricks Karl Rove, Ken Blackwell and their GOP used to get themselves four more years. In an election won with death by a thousand cuts, some that are still hidden go very deep. Over the next few weeks we will list them as they are verified.
All this, however, pales before a new revelation just released by the Board of Elections in Cuyahoga County, the heavily Democratic county surrounding Cleveland.
Robert J. Bennett, the Republican chair of the Cuyahoga Board of Elections, and the Chair of the Ohio Republican Party, has confirmed that prior to the 2004 election, his BOE eliminated---with no public notice---a staggering 175,414 voters from the Cleveland-area registration rolls. He has not explained why the revelation of this massive registration purge has been kept secret for so long. Virtually no Ohio or national media has bothered to report on this story.
Many of the affected precincts in Cuyahoga County went 90% and more for John Kerry. The county overall went more than 60% for Kerry.
The eliminations have been given credence by repeated sworn testimony and affidavits from long-time Cleveland voters that they came to their usual polling stations only to be told that they were not registered. When they could get them, many were forced to cast provisional ballots which were highly likely to be pitched in the trash, or which remain uncounted.
Ohio election history would indicate that the elimination of 175,000 voters in heavily Democratic Cleveland must almost certainly spell doom for any state-wide Democratic campaign. These 175,000 pre-2004 election eliminations must now be added to the 105,000 from Cincinnati and the 28,000 from Toledo.
Therefore, to put it simply: at least 308,000 voters, most of them likely Democrats, were eliminated from the registration rolls prior to an election allegedly won by less than 119,000 votes, where more than 106,000 votes still remain uncounted, and where the GOP Secretary of State continues to successfully fight off a meaningful recount.
The rest of the above is a long post, I will post a link to this instead of keeping it here.
** In addition, it seems evident that the Democratic Party will now enter Ohio's 2006 gubernatorial and US Senate races, and its 2008 presidential contest, with close to a half-million voters having been eliminated from the registration rolls, the vast majority of them from traditional Democratic strongholds, and with serious legislative barriers having been erected against new voter registration drives.

Well, technically that is not quite correct anonymous. There is a Sultan in the Chain, however they answer ultimately to a Khalifa.ReplyDelete
A Khalifa is a successor to the Prophet Muhammad's. This makes him the political, military, and administrative leader of the entire Muslim nation.
The UAE is a Federal system of government, with an Executive, Legislative and Judicuary branch.
The Executive branch is headed by a President or 'Chief of State'.
The current President of the UAE is KHALIFA bin Zayid al-Nuhayyan, the literal successor to the Prophet Muhammad.
The striking similarity here of course to Christianity is this role and the role of the Pope, who likewise is the literal successor of Jesus Christ.ReplyDelete
Now Pope John Paul God rest his soul, was a peace loving man, and condemned all forms of war.
The new Pope, Benedict the 16th, who is a former Nazi youth member, seems to be anti-war, although he seems harder, and more friendly with Bush. In fact, in August of last year lawyers for Benedict requested Washington grant Benedict immunity in a Sexual Abuse trial.
Pope seeks immunity in Texas abuse caseReplyDelete
August 17, 2005
Lawyers for Pope Benedict XVI have asked President Bush to declare the pontiff immune from liability in a lawsuit that accuses him of conspiring to cover up the molestation of three boys by a seminarian in Texas, court records show.
The Vatican's embassy in Washington sent a diplomatic memo to the State Department on May 20 requesting the U.S. government grant the pope immunity because he is a head of state, according to a May 26 motion submitted by the pope's lawyers in U.S. District Court for the Southern Division of Texas in Houston.
Joseph Ratzinger is named as a defendant in the civil lawsuit. Now Benedict XVI, he's accused of conspiring with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to cover up the abuse during the mid-1990s
Holy crap. Bush may have done something right.ReplyDelete
He just signed a nuclear deal with India.
It still has to be ratified in Congress, and we have to hear the details, but this was a smart move I think.
India can provide us an ally against China, and also against Pakistan if we end up going to blows with them.
Of course, the flip side of this is he may be setting up that scenario now.
This deal is bound to antagonize Pakistan, and stir up animosity even further.
But if we play it right, we can keep Pakistan semi happy, and still have India as a strong ally.
If played right, this could be a great move.

The only sins Christ condems are "pride & arrogance". He told us to take care of the poor, and love one another and love our enemies. That's it! And he said not to cast stones and judge one another, but to leave judgment and vengeance to God. I don't know who these "Christians" are following but it isn't Christ.ReplyDelete

This blatent denial of the primary right of a citizen to vote in Ohio, during the 2004 election, is reminisint of the same tactics in Florida where George Bush beat Al Gore by only by 537 votes, or 0.01%, out of 6 million cast. In this same election Katherine Harris had Choice Point cut as many as 57,000 mostly african american voters from the rolls has been a well documented fact.ReplyDelete
The story starts with Floridas felon voter law, enacted in 1998, which denies a person convicted of a felony of the right to vote. One thing that is interesting is that Florida is the only state that pays a private company to "cleanse" voter rolls.
Florida has had to correct its felon list five times since 1998 due to errors.
In May 1998, state hired a firm for this program was Professional Analysis, a local Tallahassee company, which charged $5,700 for the job. That company was apparently unable to perform satisfactorily and, in July 1998, the DOE issued another bid request, howeverprocess no award was made to any company.
In September 1998, the job was assigned to DBT Online's, inspite of the fact that it was the most expensive bid (several thousand percent over competitors) $2,317,800. In the files about the DBT bid there appears a handwritten note which reads "don't need" next to the listing of verification databases, though this work was included in the price. The contract stated that DBT was to compare the Division's Central Voter File with a number of public record databases, from various Florida agencies, other states, and federal agencies, to help the Division determine whether disqualified persons appeared in the Central Voter File. DBT Online later merged into ChoicePoint, of Atlanta.
A database company like DBT/ChoicePoint is typically hired for their accuracy assurance expertise, with the sole purpose of improving the accuracy of the database, primarily through database cross-checking.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has said that the national figure for "standard" margin of error for legal disenfranchisement is about 2 %.
Database experts consulted by Greg Palast (including DBT's vice-president) told him that in order to obtain 85% accuracy or better, one needs at least the following three things:
* Social Security numbers;
* Address history;
* A check against other databases.
ChoicePoint, in contrast, used virtually no Social Security numbers, did not check address histories, and used no database cross-checking, although it had 1,200 databases that could be employed for the task.
At first, Florida specified only exact matches on names, birthdates and genders to identify voters as felons. However, state records reveal a memo dated March 1999 from Emmett "Bucky" Mitchell, a lawyer for the state elections office who was supervising the felon purge, asking DBT to loosen its criteria for acceptable matches. When DBT representatives warned Mitchell that this would yield a large proportion of false positives (mismatches), Mitchell's reply was that it would be up to each county elections supervisor to deal with the problem.
In February 2000, in a phone conversation with the BBC's London studios, ChoicePoint vice-president James Lee said that the state "wanted there to be more names than were actually verified as being a convicted felon".
The first list DBT Online provided to the Division of Elections in April 2000 contained the names of 181,157 persons. Approximately 65,776 of those included on the first list were identified as felons.
In May 2000, DBT discovered that approximately 8,000 names were erroneously placed on the exclusion list, mostly those of former Texas prisoners who were included on a DBT list that turned out never to have been convicted of more than a misdemeanor. Later in the month, DBT provided a revised list to the Division of Elections (DOE) containing a total of 173,127 persons. Of those included on the "corrected list", 57,746 were identified as felons.
Then, on February 16, 2001, DBT Senior Vice-President George Bruder testified before the US Civil Rights Commission that the company had misinformed the Florida Supervisors of Elections regarding the usage of race in compiling the list.
According to the Palm Beach Post, blacks accounted for 88% of those removed from the rolls, though they make up only about 11% of Florida's voters.
Because some of the source databases used did not list race, the matching criteria did not require a match with the voter's race for inclusion in the felon list. However, the decision was also made to enlarge upon this decision, and rule as ineligible the voter in question even if there was an explicit disagreement between the races listed on the source database and the voter list. According to the Palm Beach Post, more than 1,300 registered voters were matched with felons although their races or sexes were different. [3]
Meaning if a guy named Jeffrey Steven was convicted of a felony, a black guy named Steven Jeffrey would get cut, while a white guy named Steven Jeffery would not.
Between May 1999 and Election Day 2000, two Florida secretaries of state (Sandra Mortham and Katherine Harris, both protégées of Governor Jeb Bush) distributed the scrub lists produced by the cleansing process to counties, and ordered the 57,700 people identified as "ex-felons" to be removed from voter rolls. Together the lists comprised nearly 1 % of Florida's electorate and nearly 3 % of its African-American voters.
At the time of the election, the purge list contained an inordinate number of false positives — people identified as felons who were not actually felons.
On 17 April 2001, James Lee testified, before the McKinney panel, that the state had given DBT the directive to add to the purge list people who matched at least 90 % of a last name. DBT objected, knowing that this would produce a huge number of false positives (non-felons).
Lee went on saying that the state then ordered DBT to shift to an even lower threshold of 80% match, allowing also names to be reversed (thus a person named Thomas Clarence could be taken to be the same as Clarence Thomas). Besides this, middle initials were skipped, Jr. and Sr. suffixes dropped, and some nicknames and aliases were added to puff up the list.
"DBT told state officials", testified Lee, "that the rules for creating the [purge] list would mean a significant number of people who were not deceased, not registered in more than one county, or not a felon, would be included on the list. DBT made suggestions to reduce the numbers of eligible voters included on the list". According to Lee, to this suggestion the state told the company, "Forget about it".
"The people who worked on this (for DBT) are very adamant... they told them what would happen", said Lee. "The state expected the county supervisors to be the failsafe." Lee said his company will never again get involved in cleansing voting rolls. "We are not confident any of the methods used today can guarantee legal voters will not be wrongfully denied the right to vote", Lee told a group of Atlanta-area black lawmakers in March. [1]
Mark Hull, the former senior programmer for CDB Infotek, a ChoicePoint company, said the state and ChoicePoint could have chosen criteria that would have brought down the number of false positives to less than a fragment of 1%. George W. Bush's officially received fewer than 600 more votes in Florida than Al Gore (2000 Election), and thus the purging of thousands of elgibile African-American voters, who had a 90% Democractic vote rate (www.gregpalast.com, THE GREAT FLORIDA EX-CON GAME, How the 'felon' voter-purge was itself felonious, Harper's Magazine, March 1, 2002) was quite significant for the outcome of the election.
The only reliable measure of accuracy of the felon list comes from Leon County (Tallahassee), whose in-house experts checked each name in their county one by one. Out of the 694 named felons in Tallahassee, they could verify only 34 of them, or 5%. Statistically, this sample tells us that there is a more than 99% chance that at least 90.2% of those listed as felons in the 2000 Florida Central Voter File were, in fact, eligible voters.
Thus Katherine Harris used a list that was obviously extremely eronious to disenfranchise a large number of ethnic voters who had only voted for George Bush at a 10% rate, and this was before her antics on election night and weeks after.
In a related matter some 179,855 ballots were not counted in the official tally. These were ballots which were mistakenly filled out, however, in some counties the voting machines (Accuvotes) would return the ballot and allow voters to try again, whereas in other counties the reject mechanisms were not enabled, thus giving voters only one chance to mark the ballot correctly. As a general trend, reject mechanisms were disabled disproportionately in counties with Democratic Party county leadership and African American and Hispanic populations.
The butterfly ballot nor Ralph Nader are not what cost Al Gore Florida and the election, but a particin securtary of State who also wore the hat of chairperson of the Bush campaign for President in the state of Florida. In a state where at least 50,000 voters about 90% democratic are illegally disenfranchised, 537 votes for a winning margin is immoral as well as criminal.
Sorry this is so long but the data won't condense much further and tell the full story.
Gotta luv these hollywood types. They are so wise, so courageous, so progressive.ReplyDelete
They totally ignore the death of fellow Dutch film maker Theo Van Gogh, who was viciously murdered by the islamofacists for his film depicting the harsh lives of women suffering under the thumb of Islam. The author of the film, Muslim apostate Hirsi Ali lives in fear for her life. Does anyone in hollyweird even mention their plight? Naaah.
Don't the wise liberals and feminists who pretend to care about womens' happiness and liberty even dare to talk about the oppression of women under shariah? Naaah. They're too busy shrieking for more partial birth abortions.
If anyone in hollyweird had real balls he would make an authentic film about the life of Muhammad. It would be a huge success and he would become immensely famous...also dead.
Gee I hope I don't miss the oscars this year (again). They will no doubt be honoring the brave progressives who brought us that box office smash, broke back mountain.
How much more do we need to realize what an arrogant ass this man whom we call President is? I don't care what party you affiliate with, there has to be a point where you say, "alright, OK, he is incompetent." Although Worf likes the India deal--even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then.ReplyDelete
THe problem comes that when you finally realize what an oaf this man is there's nothing you can even attempt to do about it until November. I don't think anyone is convincing FF that he needs to vote democrat in order to Impeach. The 20% of Americans who "somewhat approve" of Bush in the most recent Rasmussen poll are the ones who need convincing. The 20-23% who "strongly approve" need to all go ahead and move to Texas and start secession proceedings for all I care.

I don't support abortion on demand. I think it's been abused quite often in this country. But if my daugter gets to HS and gets raped by her coach-- she deserves the right to an abortion.
gay marriage...... I hold these truths self evident..... that all are created equal, and they are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights... that among these are LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. Tell me again how Bob and Fred getting married are a threat to the family? And what right do I have to deny them these basic rights?
confiscatory taxation..... beats "trickle down" where the poor get trickled on.
banning all guns... a lie. Dems don't believe in banning all guns. We just draw the line in a different spot. We can argue where the line is all you want. But the assertion is a lie.
a tsunami of job-killing frivolous lawsuits to enrich all their lawyer buddies.... I think Republican economic policy has killed a few more jobs than any "tsunami of lawsuits". Gimme a break.
appointment of arrogant judges who legislate from the bench..... Antonin Scalia. Everyone who either side disagrees with is "legislating from the bench" It's a catchy sound byte....but it's a BS premise.
and dhimmitude by our islamo-facist enemies. So now that we have brought "freedom" to a secular islamist nation where do we go next? "ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS?" more like... THEY"LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY OUR BOMBS"
None of us here do support abortion on demand, nor for that matter were we even discussing it.ReplyDelete

Freedom Fan your post is weak considering the post I put up about Florida even though it took several years for a lot of people to dig all the facts out proves one thing,ReplyDelete
They knew they were STEALING the right to vote from over 50,000 people. That is how the CHRISTIFASCISTS operate, they violate the ten commandments while demanding they have the right to rub our noses in them.
You know what really GALLS me, with the 50,000 voters who had their vote stolen in Florida 2000, combined with the 308,000 voters from Ohio that had their right to vote stolen in 2004, the ODDS of at least ONE of them having ended up in the Military, serving in either Afghanistan or Iraq and ending up having been wounded or killed. But if the GOP stole their vote that doesn't count because it has not been directly proven and since the election is over the point is moot, about the same attitude George Bush has shown for the fallen veterans, which he has never attended ONE funeral or even bothered to offer to.
Well I guess that is how the operators who shrill support the troops really think about them. They vote to spend less per veteran this year with MORE severely wounded veterans from the Global War On Terror, not less. They raise the deductible and copay for retired veterans while demanding more and larger tax-cuts. Also they want some members of the National Guard not only to give their time, but pay the bills also.
Sorry your rant using Ann Coulter, while good for unsubstantiated rhetorical shrill has no factual basis to back it up and everybody knows it. She is not the best person to put forward to defend the points of this thread namely the GOP in close election states using undemocratic means to deny voters who may not agree with them the right to vote, while killing people and possibility getting some of the people whose votes they stole killed in the name of spreading the democratic principles.
Instead of ranting along with unchristian and undemocratic Ann, how about explaining how the GOP principles are lived up to by denying more and more American citizens, SOME OF WHO ARE VETERANS their GOD given right to vote. Didn't Jesus say, give to caesar(George Bush) what is ceasers and give to GOD what is Gods, and since the right to vote is god given, isn't stealing it an act against GOD also?

Thats well said. They have a hard time with the Ten Commandments, which was the Old Law from the Pentetauch, a law which Christ, who they claim to follow, fulfilled.
Christ gave them a new law, a new gospel, and it went a lot further than an eye for an eye.
Thats right Clif.ReplyDelete
Thats exactly what they do.
That whole, turn the other cheek thingy doesn't bode well for a industrial military complex, so they often revert to the eye for an eye concept.
Unfortunately, the King James version from which most evangelical Christians work, also prohibits killing in the 10 commandments.
The 6th Commandment, Thou Shalt Not Kill, pretty much puts a damper on the whole Bush war thingy.
Of course the original word used for Kill, the Hebrew "Ratsach", which refers not to killing as in war, but killing as in murder.
But either way, the Jesus they say they follow said turn the other cheek, and that dog just won't hunt in DC.

Now as if Dubai wasn't bad enough now we find that they are selling CHECKPOINT to an firm in Israel.ReplyDelete
This is bad on several levels.
The keyboard cowboys out there will know what I'm talking about. For the rest of you, Checkpoint is a bastion of Cybersecurity in the US on all levels, from commerical to Federal to DoD. Checkpoint makes the number one Application Layer Firewall in the world, Firewall 1. Firewall 1 can be found throughout Federal and Military computer networks throughout the world.
Letting go ownership of this firm opens a hole in the middle east to tens, even hundreds of thousands of networks in the US. Even though Israel is an ally, it is an unstable third world nation, owning the most powerful security software firm in the US.
What exactly does this CIFUS do again?
Talk about mad, I had planned on spending the entire night on the blog last night, and when I got home I found out that my phone and Internet had been shut off, I was livid, I went with SBC which has since become AT&T about 6 months ago when I built my house and so far they have billed me every 3 months and then slapped me with 3 months late charges 3 times while this time they actually shut my phone off and hit me with a reconnection fee as well. then they claim that they sent the Bill every month and i'm lying because I have no record to prove what I say. I thought of quitting and moving to cable, but cable is more expensive and I really dont want to be without TV or Internet for a week or two. I think the FCC and the SEC really need to start doing their job more and deciding if these mergers are good for consumers, because either AT&T is in complete disarray due to the merger and thats why there are all these problems, or they know they are a little cheaper than cable and are just playing games to nickel and dime their customers to recoup the money, but either way we need an administration that looks to protect the people and promotes competition rather than looking out for the greedy special interests and the elite.ReplyDelete
Mike, You will find Firewall 1 in DoD and Federal networks all across the country, including Military bases.ReplyDelete
It seems we could have a US based firm make our cybersecurity products. Checkpoint code was written in Israel, so how do we know there is not back doors in it, or if the code has been comprimised by terrorists?
It makes more sense to stay with US based security products.

I've always supported the telecoms over cable company's both as a user and investor, but I might have to reevalute that if I have anymore problems, I signed up for them to electronically bill my Credir card and I think that will create a paper trail and solve the BS, but i'm still in wait and see mode.ReplyDelete
It's unbelievable. I just read your post.

MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., March 2, 2006 – The widespread use of Web logs, or "blogs," by online writers has proliferated information on topics as varied as the authors.
Blogs, in essence, are online journals or forums for their authors, known as "bloggers."
Public affairs officials here said thousands of blogs are created each day, and they estimate that more than 21 million blogs are posted on the World Wide Web today.
Blogs sometimes include information -- accurate and otherwise -- about the U.S. military's global war on terror.
U.S. Central Command officials here took notice and created a team to engage these writers and their electronic information forums.

Yea, I think it was too many pics.
What Judd failed to mention was that no one was talking.
It was a dead thread!
So we just started clownin around a little, and everyone was getting into it and doing it too, I just sorta started it. (Like I always do:).
So anyway it didn't really bother me as much that he deleted the pictures although I wish he had given us a warning first, it was that he banned me from posting without even giving me a warning.
He was being a JERK. And in case he didn't notice we are supporting his blog. He acts like its a privliege to let us post in his blog, when in reality he's lucky to have dedicated posters.
Blogs die when they don't have regulars. Like you just said theres millions of them, but about 75 percent of them have a hard time making 10 comments per thread.
The ones that do get nominated for awards, like Lydia's blog.

Worfeus declassified briefings told Bush the aluminum tubes were not used for Uranium and Iraq would not attack,ReplyDelete
Funny the American people start to see the chimp as he is and the video on Katrina, these memo's, and a hell of a lot of former neo-con and repug supporters are jumping ship, seems to be a "civil" war in the power camp, I have a funny feeling that some are trying to sabotage Bush and the neo-cons before he can ramp the country up to war with Iran.
Dont worry, I havent abondoned ya. You are my first blog and will always be number one in my heart. Afterall, you need an atheist to keep the fake Christians in check :D
Ive been lurking the blogosphere checking out some really strange and often disturbing blogs, thus, discussing a wide variety of topics.
I picked a fight with a foul mouthed Republican at MC Hammers blog who apparently lives to crush Liberals, therefore, I directed him here...no show! Sorry guys, I thought you would have fun playing with him :|
Need more pics on your site....and dont forget Tiddles.... your dog.
I see you are with Warren Beatty; I have a few surprises myself.
My ex-wife took modelling for years as a pre-teen and teen with Jill Henneesy; the actress from Law and Order. I have the Kodaks here right now of them together looking dweebish in gym suits.
I almost ran over the actor who portrayed the President of the United States in the movie "Air Force One" with my 5.0 litre Mustang.
My ex and I upset the filming of FX-2 with Brian Dennehy and almost appeared in it.
I attended the same acting school as James Carey before he was famous; I failed miserably even though they called me back. :|
Take care
P.S. Whats this I hear about you and Freedom Fan getting married or something??
Also, I suggest Rene could perhaps apply his ambtions towards helping the children of his community rather than focusing on protecting the well being of an 80's actress. Ahhhh...fake Christians.
I suggest America should pull out of Iraq and allow the chrysalis to run its course. A quarter of a trillion dollars and thousands of American lives is more than enough.
Its time you guys looked after your own.
Let these fatheads battle it out amongst themselves...PERIOD! Ahhh...religion.
Not bad froggy.ReplyDelete
Glad your not an evil demon anymore.
Cool Worf!ReplyDelete
Does this mean Saddam can repent and be forgiven of his evil ways too...despite putting humans into shredders head first?
Oh goody, I can be evil all my life and merely repent sincerely in the end.
And Rene. If you are truly concerned about humankind , Im sure you will find endless opportunities in your community....Lydia and her husband can take care of themselves.ReplyDelete
Actually Worf, I thought this was your plan. I didnt invite people to stir things up.ReplyDelete
Is there something else you want from me Worf? Ive already agreed this war is futile.ReplyDelete
Perhaps I am negligent in writing essays about it.
I have studied enough war and indescriable terror without the need to discuss it with people who simply dont care; I am simply dismissed as a war freak.ReplyDelete
Im sorry, you just seem to be someone who craves attention more than anything; your cause is merely a disguise for something deeper.. be it right or wrong.
Nevertheless, I have never invited anyone here to stir things up. But!! Your followers will dismiss this because your consistency is far more attractive.
If Lydia tells me to go away I will never come back, however, she will just have to trust Rene's at her comedy shows.
Rene, who has posted three or four times on this blog, is treated like some kind of buddy.ReplyDelete
He feels compelled to protect a Hollywood actress.....wake up Worf. I thought you could smell B.S a mile away.
And, suddenly he wants to catch her show?
Im simply saying, I would have more respect for him if he told us how he recently helped starving children.
LOL, whatever my furry lil punchy friend.ReplyDelete
But I have no followers, and as for attention, if I wanted that I'd post my real picture and my name.
As for my cause? I'm blogging, just like you there slappy.
Oh and as for wanting attention?
Thats a little presumptous don't you think, coming from a guy displaying a boxing cat and spinning tales of running over movie stars and acting school?
Glass houses you know?
Hey froggyReplyDelete
Of course I would be lying If I didnt say I like some sort of attention myself, however, I dont go to incredible lengths to achieve it.
Nor do I pretend to like suspicious individuals who want to protect Hollywood actresses.
Because they sound nice, that must mean they are okay 100%.
Duhhhh....Im a Christian.
Sorry Worf, Lydia will tell me to leave if I get to heavy.....she e-mailed you about your profanity.ReplyDelete
I agree we need to get out of Iraq. Are we really making it worse by being there now though? It seems most attacks are Sunni/Shiite these days. Is our presence decreasing this? I don't believe so. But God... what a quagmire this idiot and his puppetmasters have created. The worst part about all this is that we could elect ethical leaders who treat people with respect and truly "love thy neighbor" for the next 100 years and we won't win back any respect in a lot of places.
Having said that...... these people want us dead... all of us. And they are as wacko as any kamikaze or suicide bomber the world has ever seen. So we better start using our brains and doing what we can to keep the skunk inside our tent pissing out instead of outside pissing in.
And besides.... there's too much money to be made off invading Iraq. These people are so screwed up they can't even invade and suppress a poor country in order to make $$$$$. That should tell you how truly incompetent they are.
Worf saidReplyDelete
"What do you think is wrong with Rene?"
You mean I have to explain it to you again?
C'mom Worf!
We got em on the run. They insurgents are beginning to crumble.ReplyDelete
No essays! I dont care about Iraq! I want to see Am3erica take care of its own for once. I love you guys..Seriously!!!
See here is a prime example.ReplyDelete
It is difficult to ascertain the position which you are advocating.
Elaborate, sans the passion, and with a bit more pragmatic detail and toss in a little clarity for the masses, and then you'll be serving up a platter thats easier to digest than what you are serving up now.
Democracy takes time man, don't you know nothing?These peeple hate us for our freedom, and they are not giving up anytime soon.ReplyDelete
I dont think that anyone reasonable would disagree that invading Iraq was a collossal blunder, now the tough question is how best to fix the Quagmire Bush got us into.ReplyDelete
BTW what do you guys think of his popping in in Afghanistan and vowing to capture Osama, looks like he is trying to deflect the heat and do a little damage control.
I was just watching whats going on in Pakistan, you could be right. It does seem that making illegal money via perpetual war is what Bush is all about.ReplyDelete
BTW I wasnt saying Bush was sincere with his vow to capture Osama, I just said he must know he's on the ropes if he's trying to deflect all the scandals
But I did think it was particularly brave for him to go into afghanistan.ReplyDelete
Insurgent activity is up there, and the Taliban has regained a lot of power.
He flew a chopper in, and that was fairly risky. They knock those things down with shoulder fired missiles all the time so flying in was a risk.
Of course, if he really wanted to get a wow he should have landed in Baghdad.
Worf: I was being sarcastic when talking about nuking. I don't advocate splitting the atom for anything unless there's a chance it will get me laid.ReplyDelete
Mike: What would cause one's approval rating to go up more now than finding Osama? Though I think it won't happen till fall. He's sowing the seeds of the capture right now. ("Back in March, when I went to Afghanistan, we had several briefings in regards to the fact that we were making progress....." and so on. That's how he'll frame it when it happens.)
IM SAYING! IMPEACH BUSH BRILLIANTS and let the Iraq's deal with their own turmoil. New Orleans needs attention!ReplyDelete
MY GOD! A quarter of a Trillion dollars towards another country????
The port deal sucks big time...IMPEACH!!!
I cant believe it hasnt happened already????
Im tired of big talk, but no action!ReplyDelete
Kirk said "Mike: What would cause one's approval rating to go up more now than finding Osama? Though I think it won't happen till fall. He's sowing the seeds of the capture right now."ReplyDelete
Youre absolutely right Kirk probably early fall right before the elections. bush is so transparent its sickening, why cant the rest of the nation see what a manipulator he is.
LOL KIRK :DReplyDelete
He's sowing the seeds of the capture right now.ReplyDelete
Thats another really scary theory, and a common one. If that happens that will be a freak. I have been saying Bin Ladens in or near the disputed region between India and Pakistan, so he needs both sides permission to send in the military, as well as their escorts.
On the other hand he also may be laying the ground work to invade Iran using India and Paksitan as US launching points and maybe even some military support, and promising them the world in exchange.
Impeachment won't happen.... they won't let it. There's a better chance that a wacko Catholic billionaire will try to build a town in Florida and impose his 12th century views on the citizenry. I'm going to open a Planned Parenthood right on the outskirts of that town and give out free condoms and morning after pills there.ReplyDelete
See the problem is, we told them this was going to happen, and they didn't listen.ReplyDelete
Now, its a mess, and they want to toss it back to us and say ok, so fix it if you're so smart.
Well that sounds all well and good, but perhaps the best way to start is to get rid of the jackasses who wouldn't listen to us in the first place, and made this bloody mess.
Thats a good place to make a smart start, in my book.
Personally I think he's going to Pakistan to show them that we know EXACTLY where in Kashmir Osama is. And that we'll decide when we want to go in and get him (for max political effect). Do we need India and Pakistan for an invasion of Iran? Don't we have enough with Afghanistan and Iraq.ReplyDelete
- Clif8:35 PM
I have been saying Bin Ladens in or near the disputed region between India and Pakistan,ReplyDelete
The military has beef up the American forces to levels of the 2002 war in afgahnistan, and pakistan has 100,00 troops operating along the border. Bush knows that about the only thing he can do to recover his image is snach Bin Laden, so it actually is important now after he already got to invade Iraq and waste 3 years
Kirk12 said...ReplyDelete

FINALLY someone who shares my theory!
Kirk, I have beleived Kashmir is where Bin Laden has been since 02.
Its the logical place for him. Its sorta like an Al Quaida resort town.
The plan is: IMPEACH if your so vehement and convinced! I want to see more people at the gates protesting this insanity.ReplyDelete
I want to see Lydia and Worfs little shiny faces at the gates...Am I asking to much?
Who cares Mike ! Get out now and worry about your own. LET THEM BATTLE IT OUT!ReplyDelete
There is only one logical solution to the Iraq problem.ReplyDelete
Its not a perfect solution, in fact it could classify as a work-a-round. But from my lowly chair its the only one.
We need to divide up the country into sectarian States, and institute border security. There isn't much left other than a really bloody civil war.
And even if we do this it will be a bloody process to be sure.
But now, thanks to DUMBYA, thats the deal.
Worf I've been in agreement with you also that that is most likely where he is, those are extremly remote regions in politically unstable anti western countries, theres not many better places to hide that I can think of.ReplyDelete
And Johnny, I've said many times we should clean up our own backyard before we worry about someone elses, and I am also strongly against the invasion of Iraq, however my point is we went in there with absolutely no thought or planning whatsoever, if we do pull out (something I am for by the way) it should be well thought out and planned rather than a typical Neo Con kneejerk reaction.
HELLOOOOOOOOO.......let them battle it out.ReplyDelete
You guys cant be there forever. Pull up a chair, pop some buttered popcorn, and enjoy the show in the mideast.
Meanwhile, you can take glory in helping your fellow countrymen.
Bloody civil war it is. You should concern yourself with KATRINA.ReplyDelete
HEY EVERYONE -- Did anyone listen to Air America today, and hear them talking about Bush actually having a brain disorder related to unrecovered alcoholism in which your mind takes pieces of information and draws completely erroneous conculsions? This was discussed by a doctor apparently earlier on NPR and then in a book. I don't know whether to feel sorry for him or be angry. I kind of have sympathy right now. Also he was brought up in such a privileged lifestyle that he has no ability to connect with the suffering of others. His baby sister died and the parents kept their golf date that day. I'll research it. That's why he doesn't want to show funerals or coffins of our soldiers.ReplyDelete
Johnny said;ReplyDelete
Bloody civil war it is. You should concern yourself with KATRINA
Well, unfortunately thats wrong.
Colin Powell was correct when he told Rummy and Cheney, "you sure you want to do this? Cause you know, if you break it, you bought it".
We own the mess now. Its up to us, we owe it to the people of Iraq, to find a way out.
But I am convinced that part of that is removing our imbedded troops, and divide up the nation into distinct sectarian and political States.
Give them a semblance of the Soverignty we promised them.
Lydia said;ReplyDelete

No but I think I have that disorder.
Its not fair to point out someones past alcoholism.
I would like to see us pull out as much as anyone, however something you are forgetting Johnny is that we crteated a power vacum by removing Saddam now everyone in Iraq and possibly Iran and other neighboring countries want to claim the oil resources. look how this looks to the rest of the world we go in there bomb the crap out of them, bring in Haliburton et al to make a buck and pull out and leave the country in civil war and chaos, is there a RIGHT solution at this point???ReplyDelete
Iraq needs to be at a minimum, 3 distinct States.ReplyDelete
And its a safe bet that UN PeaceKeepers will be playing a role somewhere in there.
Also UN protection of Iraqi Oil Resources. Its the only way.
Or were we just going to throw our balls up on the table and take over permantant security of the Oil wells ourselves?
I have thought about that Worf...I DONT CARE! Let them fight it out. The Iraqis could have done something before if dissatisfied with their previous government.ReplyDelete
Your contribution is far exceeded.
Worf said :ReplyDelete
"Who said anything about fair?"
No kiddin!
- Clif9:05 PM
One solution which I do not see the Bush administration taking is to bring our Arab allies like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt into the fold, give them an actual say in the matter of what happens to one of their neighboring countries, a fellow Arab nation. We could have each bring a portion of their military forces into the country and replace American troops. Then we could have the Arab Council and Iran work with the separate factions in Iraq the same as the Dayton accord was done for the Balkans, or the peace talks in Paris brought the Vietnam War to an end. First of all the Arab presence in the negotiating would raise the trust factor for most Iraqi civilians. Second the replacement of the American face with an Arab face on the troops that maintain order would go far to defuse the foreign fighters claim of jihad, and probably also lead to the insurgency coming to the table as the viet cong did in the Paris peace talks did.ReplyDelete
We would have to give up the idea that we can dictate the path of Iraq in the future. It is actually an Arab regional problem. They know the problems of Iraq much better than we do and can work for a solution that all peoples of the region can live with both inside Iraq as well as the surrounding region. Not to place the solution in the hands of the people of the region is at best a willful ignorance of the cultural, political historical, problems we have in trying to formant a solution and imposing it on the situation, and at the worst smacks of an delusional arrogance that we always know better and everyone should just get used to it.
And don't let them kid you with the Ethanol Red Herring.ReplyDelete
Ethanol is just a subsidy promise to farmers who grow corn.
While Ethanol does burn cleaner, it takes 1 Gallon of Oil to make 1 Gallon of Ethanol.
In fact, it takes 70 percent MORE energy to make Ethanol, than Ethanol actually returns.
Contribution may have been a bad word in this case.ReplyDelete
Lydia, i'm not discounting what you say, in fact your probably right about Bush's brain being impaired, but I dont think bush was ever the brains of the Neo Con agenda, I think he is the cheerleader or figure head that Rove and Cheney trot out to sell the agenda of the day. In his mind i'm sure he is more important and plays a larger role, but in reality I doubt it.ReplyDelete
Cliff said :ReplyDelete
"We would have to give up the idea that we can dictate the path of Iraq in the future. It is actually an Arab regional problem."
Thanx Cliff! Finally someone who understands me.
LET THEM BATTLE IT OUT! PULL BACK AND LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS?ReplyDelete
I agree we should pull ASAP as well, all i'm saying is we should not just jump the gun and pull out until there is SOME KIND OF plan to keep order, Clif's is the best i've heard, I think we are doing more harm than good over there, but a kneejerk pull out with out a plan may be a mistake as well.ReplyDelete
Worf said :ReplyDelete
"Its not a video game Johnny."
Are you suggesting American presence in the Middle is is justified because of a certain kind of twisted loyalty for being their for so many years.
Get out and help Katrina victims.

As for the "getting something back for our investment"... you DO get something back. You get the 4000+ employees that buy groceries, pay taxes, buy houses, buy cars, go to the movies, get their hair cut, and pump all that money in the economy of the city. If a for-profit (HCA) were to come in, count on the fact that 1000+ of those employees would be cut off the top - then they'll start cutting the services (NICU, PICU) that don't make money....Don't be fooled by that 1billion dollar commitment. It's all sparkle and big numbers. That 1 billion investment is over 40 years - which at a small sum of $25M a year is not nearly enough to keep the hospital growing as it's done over the last 100 years. Why would we "sell out" to HCA, get the $325M to put in a trust for the healthcare for the citizens ... only to turn around and pay HCA that money back to PROVIDE that care? As it a non-profit, Memorial would continue to provide the indigent care that it has in the past.... and did you realize that the "investment" you've made provides $77M per YEAR to the city of Colorado Springs? That should put some of those flashy numbers in perspective. They look nice, but when you really sit back and realize the impact that the for-profit will have on the economy, they get small in a hurry.
The minute the control of Memorial goes to a company other than Memorial (as a non-profit organization), you will definitely lose that asset... all the decisions will be made to satisfy the stakeholders..... not to provide the highest quality healthcare to the citizens of Colorado Springs.
Bach, who campaigned for more jobs in the area, is positioning the
community to take a huge hit on unemployment. Sure, there would be funds
coming in due to the lease, but that will be GREATLY outweighed by the jobs
that are lost. If one of the largest employers in the area (excluding the
military) is cut by 20% (and that's a conservative estimate), what will
THAT do to the number of jobs out there? Let's look big picture - not just
line a few pockets by making Memorial a source of income rather than a
source of the best healthcare out there. Demand the transparency we deserve
and don't allow the decisions to be made in back room conversations. The
Mayor seems to think he doesn't have to be held to the Sunshine Laws - Let
him know otherwise!!! Let Memorial live, thrive and REALLY help the
community by doing what it does best - give great care and help the economy
of the area as a result!

The Grain and Grain Processing Information Site
UZWIL, SWIZERLAND — As part of its extrusion engineering expansion program, Buhler AG has acquired the family-owned company Millbank Technology (NZ) Ltd. in New Zealand.
Buhler, a leader in the field of high-value twin-screw extrusion technology, is completing its product line with the acquisition of Millbank's more straightforward, lower-cost single-screw machines. These are in particularly high demand in the markets of Latin America and South East Asia, where growth has resumed. Buhler Extrusion Systems is currently focusing strongly on the Pacific Rim, where it sees promising growth in extrusion, which Buhler says is being increasingly applied in the aquaculture, extruded snack foods and food ingredients markets.
Millbank Technology, which is based in Auckland, New Zealand, enjoys a solid reputation especially in South East Asia for efficient and reliable extrusion equipment. Buhler acquired all the activities of the company in September, integrating them into its Extrusion Systems business unit. The equipment, which to date has been marketed under the name "Miltenz," will in the future be offered to customers under the "MillbankExtrusion" brand.
In view of the fact that Latin America and South East Asia are the main markets for this equipment, customers will continue to be supplied with equipment and components from Auckland.
Global sales, engineering, installation and start-up plus customer service will be handled by Buhler Extrusion Systems. The existing sales and service organization of Millbank will be integrated in the Buhler Group to maximize customer value. In particular, Millbank's and Buhler's existing customers will benefit from the worldwide service and spare parts network

Apologies for my general failure to post over the past couple of months - life has been somewhat busy in the run-up to Christmas. Although this will be a shortish post, I do have more in-depth posts in the pipeline for the New Year.
The Saddingtons of Houghton on the Hill, Leicestershire, consisted of a single nuclear family.
The father of the family was John Saddington, born around 1808ish in Foxton, Leicestershire, according to the various censuses. There is a christening on 30 April 1806 at Foxton for a John Saddington, illegitimate son of Elizabeth Saddington, which might be relevant, but further research needs to be done on this.
The mother of the family was Frances, born around 1808 in Billesdon, Leicestershire, also according to the censuses. There was a marriage between a John Saddington and a Frances Barsby on 10 April 1832 at the Parish Church of St Margaret, Leicester, which also might be relevant, but which also requires further research.
John and Frances Saddington are known to have had six children, five of whom are known to have survived at least into their teenage years.
These were John, baptised 9 February 1834 at Houghton, Thomas, baptised 22 May 1836 at Houghton, Frances, baptised 10 September 1837 at Houghton, Daniel, baptised 31 January 1841 at Houghton, Emma, baptised 7 April 1850 at Houghton, and Elizabeth, baptised 7 November 1852 at Houghton.
John and Thomas both make their last known appearance with the family in the 1851 census, aged 17 and 15 respectively. They were both enumerated as farm servants. Further research needs to be done to discover what happened to these two.
A death reference for Daniel Saddington in the Billesdon Registration District (which covers Houghton on the Hill) in the March quarter of 1841 indicates that Daniel did not long survive his baptism; Daniel being an uncommon name amongst the various Saddington families, and therefore easier to track down.
All three of John and Frances' daughters are known to have married, although more is known about the eldest daughter than the other two.
The eldest, Frances, married Reuben Mayfield on 5 May 1857 at Houghton on the Hill. However, there is evidence to suggest that they had jumped the gun slightly. Also occurring on 5 May 1857 is the baptism of Henry Mayfield, son of Reuben Mayfield and Frances Mayfield late Saddington. Reuben is described as being a labourer of Ashby Folville, Leicestershire.
It is unclear whether Henry was known as Mayfield or Saddington. Certainly he does not appear with his mother and his two younger siblings, Emma and William, on the 1861 census, when they were shown staying with John and Frances Saddington at Houghton on the Hill. Neither is he with his father, Reuben, at the family home in Barsby, Leicestershire. There is a birth reference for a Henry Saddington born in the Billesdon Registration District in the September quarter of 1856, and a death reference for a Henry Mayfield in the Melton Mowbray Registration District (which includes both Ashby Folville and Barsby) in the March quarter of 1858. As usual, more research is needed.
Frances the younger did not have a long life. Although I have yet to find the family on the 1871 census, Reuben remarried in the March quarter of 1877 to a lady called Sarah Beadle from Barsby, possibly a widow as she had a daughter of her own according to the 1881 census. There is a possible death reference for Frances in the Melton Mowbray Registration District in the September quarter of 1871, but it gives the deceased's age as 23, which is about 10 years out. This could be a mistranscription, and requires checking in the Barsby parish registers.
The second daughter, Emma, married Thomas Allen, a labourer from Houghton, on 20 May 1872 at Houghton. The witnesses were her father, John, and her sister, Elizabeth.
The youngest daughter, Elizabeth, married William Fox, a gardener from Burton Overy, Leicestershire, on 18 April 1876 at Houghton. Her father was one of the witnesses.
John and Frances lived on in Houghton for the rest of their long lives. Frances died in the June quarter of 1890, aged 83. Her husband,John, lived on until the September quarter of 1894, dying at the age of 88, having spent all his working life as an agricultural or farm labourer.
If you are related to this branch of the Saddington family, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Nancy Lothrop, born July 11, 1961, passed away on January 2, 2018
She is survived by her Father Victor Martell, Husband Scott Lothrop, Sister Vickie Adler, Son's Justin Jordan and Aaron Lothrop, Daughter Jennifer Summers, and grandchildren Hannah, Olivia, Sarah, Alexis, Benni and Carson.
In October, 2016 Nancy moved from her longtime and beloved home in Longmont CO to Pahrump NV with her husband to retire. Nancy was a strong, well rounded, God loving woman who put family first. She loved her African Grey Parrot Gus, and her Pomeranian Princess. She had a passion for gardening, and muscle cars. (She even rebuilt a 67 Dodge Dart frame and all.)
Nancy will be missed by many people whom she touched during her life, and now has the privilege of eternal life reacquainting with family and friends of the past. We are confident that everyone today who knew Nancy will look forward to seeing her again.
A Celebration of Life Service was held on Sunday, January 21st at 11:00am at Brown's Stoller Memorial Chapel, 410 N.E. Garfield St., Camas, Washington. Her son Justin conducted the service.
Nancy was laid to rest at the Fern Prairie Cemetery.

^ Gioia 1992: I started to assemble my own information of incoming protection troubles. A person of such new information concerned experiences of Pintos "lights up" (within the terms of a subject representative) in rear-conclusion mishaps.
The business enterprise product was seem, but would consumers, Primarily European tourists, consider on the pop-under ads? Could the venture transform plenty of consumers to generate this a viable channel for Ervaring and scare the OTAs into reducing their service fees?
The directive came in the top rated, President Lee Iacocca, who emphasised which the Pinto was not to weigh an ounce around 2,000lb rather than Price a cent over $two,000 and that security wasn't a priority, since "basic safety doesn't offer".

Seward, Alaska
While checking out a small pile of 1x4s, probably destined for a beach fire, I discovered a striking red ladybug with four black spots. She/he wanted nothing to do with me and scurried off as fast as her six little legs could carry her. By manipulating the wood, I was able to get a couple photos.
Thanks to Google, I learned that this species is native to North America with populations in western Canada, western U.S. and into Mexico. The article did not mention Alaska. It feeds primarily on aphids (yay!)
I imagine birds do not eat it, thanks to the warning red coloration. I don't remember ever seeing a ladybug in Seward, so this was really interesting.

If you've decided to remodel a living room or bathroom, for example, all the necessary fixtures are here, including ceiling fans, ENERGY STAR qualified lighting, lamps, light fixtures, recessed lighting, switches and outlets, and other illuminating items, as well as bathroom faucets, bathroom sinks, bidets, showerheads, toilets, toilet parts, water heaters, and water pumps. If your home repair involves becoming a bit more social there are door chimes and bells for any tastes, and as more people might be stopping by it's not a bad idea to stock up on paint, paint brushes, paint sprayers, solvents, stain, wall stickers and murals, and wallpaper. And to reach the right places, don't forget ladders and stepladders. Use the 4 metals sheets that you bought for the sides and weld them in a rectangular shape. Make sure you seal the seams properly. Now place the metal sheet of the base on top and weld the edges. Set the axles 4 inches from each end of the wagon. Weld the axle brackets over the axles. The wheel axles should be able to spin. Attach the wheels and flip the body over to weld the wagon handle in place. Paint it with rust proof paint and your garden wagon is ready for use.

That the entire series could be reduced to a single, meaningless noise may partially explain why Home Improvement became so instantly ephemeral. Over time, sitcoms tend to degrade until nothing is left but their catchphrases, and—Tim's battle cry of More power!" aside—that grunting sound is pretty much all anyone remembers about Home Improvement. Unfortunately, it would look shitty on a T-shirt. (Aaaaaa-ooooh-Eh!"? UhhhhOOOggeehhh"?) It's certainly no Did I do that?" or You got it, dude!"

Marvin, compared to the 750, the texture will not be as smooth when using frozen fruits or other 'really hard' ingredients in your smoothies. If you are using ingredients that are warm and soft to start with, then there will not be much of a difference. The difference in motor power as well as the blade diameter is significantly greater in the 750. For soups, it may take longer to heat up since the blades are smaller and surface area and friction are the key to heat. Thanks for asking!

You actual have some of your info on Harry Potter wrong. I should know, cuz I've read all seven books. Harry Potter is actually in a romantic relationship with Genny Weasley, according to how book 7 reads. Ron Weasley is actually the one who winds up marrying Hermione Granger, again according to book 7. Other than that you have wrote an interesting storyline.

Still reading the story but the end of this chapter brought a thought to mind and I spent the last couple hours researching it trying to figure it out, and as it was 3 am when this thought occurred to me most of my sources for marvel information beyond the net and my own knowledge were not available, so here goes.
When Wolverine was affected by Ron's Petrificus Totalus, I'm not sure if it would work at all on him as True adamantium has been shown to be a universal insulator. It is wholly non ferrous and is a perfect insulator against heat, energy, and, as far as I have been able to find, magic. The best example of it's level of thermal insulation is when Wolverine survived a nuclear blast because his brain was protected by his adamantium coated skull even though all the rest of his flesh was incinerated by the heat.(I apologize for lack of citation on comic and issue number as I have not read it but only have heard of the incident during several conversations about Wolverine's healing abilities and their limits.)
As to electricity there are countless examples of Wolverine cutting live cables and into other powered devices with his claws and having no discernible reaction to charge flowing through them. The only evidence I can find of adamantium conducting electricity is secondary adamantium being able to be damaged by unconventional forms of electricity, namely lightning created by Thor using Mjolnir. This is the only citation I can find of adamantium of any form being affected by mystic energies that don't border on cosmic power levels and as such are impossible to discern if they truly are mystic or cosmic in nature.
So taking this all into account, as well as the protection granted in the Ultimate Marvel Universe against telepathic probes and attacks but is lacking in the Earth-616 reality as far as I know, I would guess Wolverine would be immune to a spell that would either be unable to root in his adamantium infused body because it would be resisted by the material, or if it was deflected by the adamantium coating his skull if the spell actually was neurally inhibitive instead of a muscular inhibitive.
So after that treaties, I am enjoying the story so far and am on to the next chapter.
PS: Thanks to a CtrlX accident had to retype this, hope I didn't forget anything from this version.

Gents Defeat Tulsa on Sager Goal
Files associated with this release:
TULSA, Okla. -- On a goal by Brody Sager, the Centenary men's soccer team (3-7-0) defeated the University of Tulsa (3-6-0), 1-0, Tuesday at Hurricane Soccer Stadium.
Helping the Gents win back-to-back games, Sager, a junior midfielder from Arlington, Texas, scored on a direct free kick in the 77th minute, registering his first goal of the season.
Following Sager's tally, Centenary vigorously defended its net for the final 13 minutes of the contest, helping junior goalkeeper James Speed (Corpus Christi, Texas/King) capture his first shutout of the season. Speed, who made five saves in the win, stopped shots from Jose Parada and Brian McCurdy in the final moments of the game to preserve the victory.
Shots were in favor of Tulsa, 12-9, in the contest. Junior Aaron Volanski (Magnolia, Texas/Memphis) and Sager led the Gents in shots, each with two.
Looking to extend its winning streak, Centenary visits IUPUI in a Mid-Continent Conference game Saturday at 1 p.m.

The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 212: Alien Worlds #2, May 1983
And here I was worried about what I was going to read after Age of Apocalypse. There, sitting behind the AoA section of the collection was the Bruce Jones-scripted anthology title Alien Worlds. I really like this title, and its horror cousin Twisted Tales. Jones has got a great knack for telling a short, spooky, quirky story, a la the old Steve Ditko tales that were reprinted in my Doctor Who Weeklys, and the amazing array of artists he gets to join him is a treat. Dave Stevens' art on the cover story is just...well, how about I let it speak for itself? Aurora is really something.
Now, the nice thing about the character is that, after this single cheesecake-y shot, she dons her action suit and proceeds to be something of a badass for the rest of the story. I'm hoping that it's a story that continues, because I'm kind of intrigued by the premise. The other two stories in the book are emblematic of Jones' style on this and Twisted, in that they're fairly straightforward sci-fi tales, though entertaining and well-wrought ones to be sure, with a twist at the end. Could it be that Jones is the M. Night Shyamalan of comics, though far less-maligned? A question for another day.
According to the GCD, the series ran 7 issues at Pacific and a further 2 at Eclipse. I don't have all of them, but as I'm heading up to the Edmonton Comic Con this weekend, perhaps I'll track them down. This era of speculative fiction in comics is pretty great. At this point, Heavy Metal's only a few years old, Warren's 1984 is still a fresh memory, and Epic Illustrated is in full swing, not to mention the "ground-level" comics that skewed heavily toward fantasy and science fiction. I wonder what it was about the early 80s that made so many writers and artists embrace these genres across so many levels (and, to be fair, qualities) of publishers? Backlash against the stagnation many perceived in superhero comics, perhaps. Recall, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Watchmen, and Dark Knight were a few years off at this point. Early 80 superhero comics were good, but in that amusing, campy way, still escaping the influence of the 60s Batman television show. Sci Fi and Fantasy were perhaps a good place to go if you wanted to tell intelligent and interesting stories.
First post-Age of Apocalypse comic. Feeling pretty good. Only missing the X-Men slightely. More Alien Worlds tomorrow. See you then!
(Edit: After writing this, I found out that Dave Stevens died a few years ago. His official site is still up and is well worth an hour or so of your time.)

The blame goes to Americans in general.
People vote for what serves themselves best, whether it's to provide a lower tax shelter, allow them to marry their gay partner, allow them to smoke weed, get an abortion, or just to stick it to everyone because they're ashamed of their own life's choices.
Personal responsibility and morality mean less and less the more we legislate it out of society.
As a result, politicians play to those voting tendencies. Clinton was a master at it.
Until people start voting at least a little for things that don't always involve them, nothing will change.

Under Fire: The Front Lines of Recent Section 230 Battles
During the past year or so, a number of court decisions have chipped away at the protection of Section 230. Recently, courts have appeared receptive to claims that fall outside the usual ambit of publishing torts, where, e.g., a duty to warn was alleged (Doe v. Internet Brands), or where an online marketplace site takes a share of an unlawful transaction (Airbnb v. San Francisco). California's Supreme Court will soon consider whether platforms can be forced to remove content based on a third-party default judgment (Hassell v. Bird); in the lower courts, California's prosecution of Backpage.com executives continues (State v. Ferrer); and another recent trend: social media sites are increasingly seeing suits brought under anti-terrorism statutes by terror victims who claim tech companies are responsible for extremists' use of platforms. Our expert panel will review the current landscape of Section 230 litigation, and highlight areas of concern for the coming years.

I loved crafting as a kid. My sisters and I had a special room in the house dedicated to all of the felt, construction paper, and popsicle sticks you could imagine. You would think that would mean that as an adult, my crafting would have aged up with me – but alas, I still prefer to do a craft that can be started and finished within one evening (but with more than one glass of wine)- and I am hear to tell you, there is no shame in that! So bust out your limited but excited crafting skills and have fun:
These felt boxes take about 30 minutes total and give you such a sense of accomplishment. All you need is some stiffened felt, scissors, and a hot glue gun.
I spent a Saturday night pouring glitter into pill capsules and I am not ashamed. I felt like Katy Perry in pharmacology school. My advice: buy a pack of glitter samples at the craft store so you can have tons of color options, and definitely put a towel down.
3. Marbled Sculpey Ring Dishes
This will immediately take you back to your early days of crafting and because you can bake them in the oven, they are done within an hour!
You can find tons of How To Origami videos on youtube. I chose to start with these 3D Hearts because they were just challenging enough to really feel accomplished once you got it down.
Instead of using painters tape, I just wrapped a rubber band around a terra cotta pot to add a slightly off kilter look.
