Pancit Bihon
I cooked pancit bihon last night with green beans and shrimps. I cooked some even me and Sarah only will eat it, because it's hassle for me to always cook every time we eat. So, that's why when I cook something I usually cook a lot. Enough for us to eat for 2 or 3 days hehe. Anyway, we ate some of it last night and there's a lot left over. Do you want some? Just help yourself! I have learned to cook pancit with my mother when I was there in Philippines she usually cook pancit bihon or mike with chicken, schrimps, beef or pork and some other kind of food. My mom is a good cook and wish I'll be a good cook too just like her. But you know what I looked at our recipe books yesterday and found some yummy foods to cook. So, maybe I'll try to cook one of them and see if the result is good. This weekend if we can go shopping I'll make a list for the stuff I want to buy. That way I won't forget them.

We had a dark night last night
Our lights went out about 7pm last night and gosh that was very dark inside the house and had a very strong wind outside. Sarah cried when the light went out and became very dark in the house. I think she was scared in the dark the good thing we have two small lamps to use and she stopped crying when I turned on the light and hugged her. Aaron wasn't sleeping yet so I was holding both of them. That was hard glad my father in law came downstairs and helped me out. At 10pm my husband called me and ask what's going on why the our phone didn't ring. Well I told him our lights went out and he immediately ask permission from his boss to come back home after he knew that our lights went out. And planning to take us to the hotel if the lights didn't come back on. I am thankful that we were all done eating after the lights went out and able I able to put Sarah and Aaron in bed but after a while Sarah woke up crying. She probably felt cold in her room and couldn't sleep because there was no heat and light. I couldn't sleep too all I did was taking care of them put them in bed and made our wood furnace going. And since Sarah woke up and couldn't sleep back I picked her up and put her on our couch which is closer to our wood furnace so that she could feel warm. I held and hugged her on the couch until he's dad got home. Thankully just after a few minutes when my husband got home the lights came back on..Yeahey! we were all happy and we immediately turned on the heaters and after the house warmed up a little bit we put Sarah back in bed..It was very cold last night but Aaron slept very good because I wrapped him very well and covered him with our thick blanket. And glad Sarah able to sleep back after our lights came back on and our house became warm. And so are we we all went to bed after all.

Doing PPP and some other stuff. I have been changing template too of my new blog and it's still not ok or look good because the template picture won't show up. I don't why but on the template instructions says the template is best in IE & firefox so maybe that's why it didn't show up. But anyway, my husband is going to help me on how to about it this weekend. So hopefully he can make my template picture to show up hehe. For me it's so hard to change the template of my blog because I don't know more about it especially about codes. I know nothing about it. The good thing my sis.Ana was helping me about anything I don't know but now no because she's angry with me for something. But it's ok even she's not helping me right now I just try my best as I Can.

Site Safari delivers effortless web discovery
When you add Site Safari as an additional tab in your browser, you'll get interesting web pages delivered to that tab every few minutes. For example, when you open your browser, you'll see your home page in your main tab, but your second tab will rotate through the top stories on Digg.com. One of the nice things about Site Safari is that it is safe because there are no downloads, plug-ins, or toolbars. It's also easy to add websites that you want to keep tabs on. For example, if you want theonion.com to show up in your second tab rotation, Site Safari makes it a snap. For website owners and bloggers, Site Safari helps draw repeat visitors. With an explosion of new content on the web, loyalty is becoming more challenging. Site Safari helps bloggers and site owners when they place the Site Safari badge on their site, which allows users to quickly add the page they are viewing into their second tab rotation. Site Safari provides easy-to-use tools for "mash-up artists" who want to create their own collection of links to form a tour of a given topic. For example, someone could put together the definitive guide for van Gough, including background articles on Wikipedia to images of his art on other websites.Wow! how cool is that so what are you waiting for Check out Site Safari!now.

Professional Bull Riders Finals
As I have watched on TV bull riders are very alert and active because if you're slow. The bull will step on you not only that the bull will probably kick, horn and kill you if you don't careful. My this professional bull riders in las vegas nevada are going to be very exciting and popular. This kind of game is awesome but scary too. I know lots and lots of people are watching it even just on TV. If I am a boy I'd like to attend this professional bull riders final because I like riding a bull or carabao and I want to experience professional bull riders. Besides I also want to be popular to people and show them my being active, alert and good ability of riding the bull lol. I know being bull riders is not easy because you have to practice on how to handle to bull, how to ride the bull very well so that you won't fall on the ground and you need to practice lots of ability to be a good bull rider. Anyway, I think the tickets to the Professional Bull Riders are special and expensive. I bet they have the best tickets of all.

We bought a lexmark printer a few months ago and my I like this printer it's nice and it's very easy to use. In fact, I printed some of our photos to send to my family back home. And guess what? I used a lot of ink because according to my husband our printer ink is below half now lol. Well, he maybe right because I printed some photos and I wasted printing a lot of pictures I don't need.
The reason I did print some photos because I was planning to send some photos too to my sister. But since we're not talking right now or she's angry with me for
something. I canceled my plan and I threw some of the photos I printed in the garbage hehe. But, anyway since we know our printer needs some ink. We're planning to buy new ink as soon as we can.
Glad I found a website already where we can buy printer ink and the good thing is they have Printer Ink & Toner Coupons that we can use when we buy ink for our printer and online coupon codes for the online shoppers. Wow! how cool is that? Anyway, by using 123 Inkjets Coupon Codes can save you up to 10% or 15% off on any order, plus it's free shipping on $55.

*My surgery*
My surgery was last Monday and it was a hard day for me and all my family. I got to the surgery center at 11:00am and they checked me in and took me back to prepare me for the surgery. While I was there my father in law was taking care of Sarah all day and my husband had Aaron there with him in the waiting room. After they took me back I had to change into the surgery gown and they started an IV in my hand. Then they let my husband come back and talk to me for a short time while they gave me some medicine to help me relax. After that he had to go back to the waiting room and they took me into the operating room. There they gave me another shot into my IV tube and then I was sleeping. My husband said the doctor came out to talk to him after the surgery and showed him some pictures of my insides and where she found the IUD that had been put in wrong. It was caught in my intestine and she said it was good we had surgery because it would have caused an infection. So I was glad she found it and removed it. Once I woke up from the surgery I was sick and in a lot of pain. They gave me some pills but they didn't help to much. I was still sick when they told my husband to go get the car. I guess they needed the space for the next person in line but it was hard for me because I was still feeling so sick on my stomach. My husband carried everything out and put Aaron in the car and brought the car to the door where the nurse help me to go out to the car. I was still feeling sick and thought I would vomit on the way home but I fell asleep instead. My husband got my prescription filled for pain pills and I was so glad because I was hurting, then he bought me Chinese from a nice place so I could eat something and not be sick on my stomach anymore.
I couldn't feel any pain when they were doing the surgery just when I woke up after the surgery I felt a lot of pain and I felt kind of dizzy until we got home. Anyway, the pain took about 2 or 3 days before it went away. I'm fine now and I am glad it's over and hope I never have to do that again. I am so very thankful and grateful to God for helping and taking care of me. Also to my husband who is taking care with our two babies and cleaning the house while I can't do any work and lifting. Hopefully I'll be back to normal after one week or before my husband will go back to work.

Jamie Lynn Spears!
Jamie Lynn Spears Loses Job
Posted Jan 4th 2008 5:00PM by Christina Lang
Filed under: Television, News, Knocked-Up, Britneywatch
Since Britney Spears' 16-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, announced in December that she was expecting a baby with her long-term boyfriend Casey Aldridge, many have questioned the fate of her Nickelodeon show, 'Zoey 101.' Question no more. It was announced Friday that the fourth season of the hit tween show will be the final season.
"For now it looks like it has been canned," a source at the show said. 'Zoey 101,' a story about a young girl who enrolls in a typically all-male school, is aimed at children ages 9-14. TV sources are worried that airing the season will send the wrong message to children.
Jamie Lynn Spears I used to watch her show but now I'm taking a break because I hate it if they repeat the show hehe. I like her show and I like to see her and her friends they're good looking girls and chase her best friend is a good looking boy too LOL..I'm wondering if that's the boy who made her pregnant...

We went shopping yesterday and we went to Borics to have a hair cut. I have my new haircut now but gosh my hair looks so short LOL...I picked the layers style cut and you know who cut my hair? My friend that came from Russia. I met her when I was attending ESL class before at parkland. Well, I think my hair looks ok it's just very short. But it will grow back also my bangs so no problem. Anyway, it cost us 23dollars for both of us it wasn't expensive was it?. Just 11 dollars per head but on the other barbers hair cut is more expensive it's like 15 dollars each or more. It's a good thing we found the borics to go when we need a hair cut. Luba is my friend and she's one of the barber's in borics. I think she was already a barber when she left from Russia but she just went to parkland to learn English, like me LOL. I attended about 2 or 3 semesters ESL class at parkland but my engslish is still not very good but at least it improved a lot compare than the first time I came here in US hehe.

Rugby games
Do you guys love to play and are interested in attending tournaments? If you are I found a website that has international rugby tournaments like football, wrestling and some other games. RBS 6 nations website, is the official website for Europe's premier international rugby tournament, the six tournament championship. Anyway, they provide a comprehensive list of tournament news, fixtures and results, as well as interactive games and pod casts section for six nations fans. So perhaps you would be interested in attending this rugby games tournament you should check their website here for more information and details. My husband says this is a good web site for people that like and who are fans of rugby. You can follow all the latest news, get match video highlights, mobile video, the official magazine, their online store and all the latest scores from match play. There is a section that tells the history of the game such as in 1871, England and Scotland played the first rugby union international. After 12 years of occasional friendly matches between the teams, the inaugural Home International Championship, comprising England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales was played in 1883. England won the first series, along with a Triple Crown. Up until 1893, England and Scotland were the only champions, with Wales winning their first title that season. Ireland won their first title the following season. The 1908 and 1909 championships won by Wales, although won during the Home Nations era, could be regarded as Grand Slams, as they also defeated France both seasons. So if you love rugby games then check out this web site and enjoy!

Happy For No Reason
I've been reading so much inspirational books since last year and it did helps me a lot to see things in a lot different and positive way. I even started collecting audio books in DVD's and CD's lately, so I will always have something to listen anytime I wanted to relax.
I've heard a lot about The Sedona Method from a friend and she recommended it to me because it work to her .

My surgery's appointment is monday!
Today I went to the Doctor to have ultrasound and guess what? Another bad news I received from them because they couldn't find or see my iud. But the doctor said it's up in my uterus which we call it maybe abdomen, and they saw it on my x-ray on friday. Oh! it's terrible I couldn't have surgery when I delivered my two babies but now just for iud I'm going to have surgery just to take it out. I am so unlucky about this thing the first family planning I did didn't worked out good. Well, even though it's against my will to have a surgery but nothing I can do, because I'm more worry if I just leave the iud in my body. So, I preferred them to take it out. Even the Doctor said it's ok to leave it in my body since there's no a lot of symptoms I feel and just a small amount of bleed. But, whatever I told the doctor to take it out and so they scheduled my surgery appointment on monday. My it took us almost whole day today to do everything to scheduled my surgery, and we did some other things. I hate going there because it's always have a lot of people every time we go there. Maybe no wonder because it's the main hospital we went today and most people go there. Anyway, I don't know yet what time is my surgery on monday they'll call me this friday to give the time and some other information and details. Well, guys it's getting late here now and I have another Doctor's appointment tomorrow for pre opps exam so I would like to say bye for now...Good night...sleep tight!!!

My doctor's appointment
I have doctors appointment tomorrow at 9am. Hay...I hate this doctors appointment tomorrow because it's too early. I have to wake up very early and get ready to go to the doctor. Hmmmm...we tried to tell them to make our appointment later than this but this is the only time they're available. Hey! katakot..Anyway, this my appointment tomorrow is for ultrasound. They are going to find where my IUD is so that they could know where to make a cut on my body to take the iud out. About the surgery I don't know exactly yet when I'm going to have surgery because we need to wait what they are going to say tomorrow. I hope I can receive good news tomorrow about my IUD, because you know what I'm scared and worry about it. But hopefully everything is gonna be ok for me. See you guys. Take care!!

Sarah is sick!
Sarah is sick right now maybe it's because of the flu shot they gave to her on friday. Poor Sarah she's not feeling very good she has cold, she's coughing and she's so cry baby now and the bad thing is she couldn't sleep well. She keeps waking up every after a few hours, and she always wants to be hold my I'm having a very busy and hard time here. Plus, my husband's just came back to his work this morning so nobody's helping me out here. It was very good last few weeks ago that he was here at home with us because he helped me taking care with our babies and some other work. I had an easy, relaxing days and nights when he was here with us for 3 weeks. But now it's back to normal I'm doing all the works here at home while he's at work. I know it won't always stay like this because the babies are growing and the more their growing the more easy it would be. Anyway, Aaron's became sick too after they gave him 3 shots but thankfully he seems ok now. Just that he's coughing too. But hopefully they'll get better soon.

In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a prophetess. The power to foretell the future was given to her by Apollo as an expression of his desires… and Cassandra received the gift, promising to comply with his desires. But then she spurned Apollo's advances, and he sought revenge. He could not rescind her gift of prophecy because the creed of the gods was that divine favors once bestowed could not be revoked. What Apollo did, therefore, is arrange that while Cassandra's gift of foretelling would remain, she never would be believed.
Archetypes and the American Presidency
For persons living in America at this time, our fate seems in the hands of everything but the conditions which portions of this writing idealize and invoke. As the ancient teachings of the Tarot help identify archetypes and their purpose, the current developments in this nation compel us to understand the meaning and presence of the high-office-seeker archetypes of this time.

Probing Gold's Catalytic Prowess
News Channels: Organic SCENE, Materials SCENE
Keywords: gold catalysis, photoelectron spectroscopy, multiple bonding, cross-coupling, catalysis
Once thought to be mostly chemically inert, gold has been shown in recent years to display surprising catalytic activity. An international research team studying how gold binds to carbon has now discovered a further surprise behind gold's catalytic prowess—an inverse correlation between bond strength and the multiplicity of Au–C bonds in organogold complexes (Nat. Commun. 2013, DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3223). Gold is a good catalytic activator of alkynes for C–C cross-coupling reactions. To understand why, Brown University's Lai-Sheng Wang, Tsinghua University's Jun Li, and coworkers took a close look at Au–C bonding. The researchers used AuI and HC≡CMgCl to create a series of complexes by electrospray ionization in a mass spectrometer and then probed them via photoelectron spectroscopy. They further modeled the complexes and compared the experimental and computational results. The most interesting observation, Wang says, is that the Au–C bond in ClAu–C≡CH–, which one might expect to form during a cross-coupling reaction, is stronger than the double and triple bonds in ClAu=CH2 and ClAu≡C species. The strong Au–C single bond explains gold's ability to readily form the necessary alkyne intermediates in catalytic cross-couplings, the researchers conclude.

Caravel on Wheels is proud to have the support of many Portuguese institutions that helped us is many ways, from supplying or validating our historical contents, to giving us permission to access their premises and much more.
For all this we proudly thank all those that made this project possible!
First the Arquivo Municipal de Lisboa and Videoteca de Lisboa, for the support regarding images and films that made Caravel on Wheels videos much more interesting.
Next to the Museu de Lisboa for the research we were allowed to make in its databases and the outstanding images we were able to gather, and show you at Caravel on Wheels historical city tour. Museu de Lisboa unites many of Lisbon most famous museums such as Museu de Santo António, Teatro Romano, Casa dos Bicos, Torreão Poente and Palácio Pimenta former known as Museu da Cidade.

We were also able to acess some of the great footage that ATL visitlisboa has gathered over the years. Turismo de Lisboa is also responsible for two of Lisbon places that we love to visit Lisbon Story Centre and Arco Triunfal da Rua Augusta.
Another important partner was Direcção Geral do Património Cultural, that validated may of our contents and manages some os Lisbon most visited monuments, including Mosteiro dos Jerónimos or Jerónimos Monastery, Torre de Belém or The Belém Tower, Museu dos Coches or National Coach Museum, Museu Nacional da Arte Antiga or the Ancient Art National Museum, The Palácio da Ajuda or National Palace of Ajuda, Panteão Nacional or the National Pantheon.

The Foundation Millennium BCP, responsible for the Archaeological Centre of Núcleo dos Correeiros, is one of our favourite place to visit in Lisbon, still quite unknown.
The Water Museum, managed by Lisbon Water Company – EPAL, as invested in recent years in making many old structures that historically provided water to the city into exciting visits, many with knowledgeable guides. We were able to visit many of these Lisbon secrets and underground tunnels that we show you in Caravel on Wheels tour.
And many other partners have helped us telling theior history as accurately as possible, such as:
Maritime Museum in Belém

Thanks everyone who attended my last webinar at AllThingsOracle.com.
The recording of the webinar and all scripts used during the live demos are now available for download.
The README.TXT contains a description of the scripts used - there are a couple of helper scripts along with the main scripts, so that should allow you understanding which scripts you need to use for reproducing the issues demonstrated.
Furthermore the README contains links to some of the resources on the Internet that address questions that were raised during the Q+A session.
Thanks again to AllThingsOracle.com and James Murtagh for hosting the event.
Thanks to everyone who joined me for part 1 of my Oracle SQL Performance webinar series! Embarcadero will be posting the recording within the next few days. In the meantime, I thought I'd post the slides and a few scripts that were shown.
Thanks again and I hope to see you again next month for part 2!
In a couple of days, on Wednesday, 1st of August, I'll be presenting another free webinar hosted at AllThingsOracle.com.
Although it is called "Oracle Cost-Based Optimizer Advanced Session", don't be mislead by the title.
It is not a truly "advanced" session, but rather I'll try to delve into various topics that I could only mention briefly or had to omit completely during the first webinar on the Cost-Based Optimizer.
In principle it's going to be a selection of the most recurring issues that I come across during my consultancy work:
- I'm going to spend some time on statistics and histograms in particular and what I believe are the most important aspects to understand regarding them
Please join me for another Embarcadero sponsored Community Webinar on July 31. This is the first in a series of three webinars. My topics for this triple feature are:
Thanks to everyone who attended my webinar sponsored by Red Gate and All Things Oracle. My topic was "How to Gather SQL Resource Consumption Metrics in Oracle". The webinar recording has been posted at AllThingsOracle as of May 9 but I thought I'd also make the materials available here for anyone interested. In the zip file, you'll find a PDF of the presentation slides, several example reports (ASH, AWR, SQL Monitor) as well as several scripts I used and a text file containing all the demo queries and output.
So to wrap this up, the webinar recording (this time hosted on YouTube, the recording available from the webinar archive is hosted somewhere else) along with the webinar material for download is now officially available on AllThingsOracle.com.
I suggest that if you still have any questions regarding this webinar then you can comment on the post over there and I'll try to address them.
If you interested in more stuff like that, then stay tuned as there are more of them planned covering many of the aspects that I deliberately left out or mentioned only briefly in this basic introduction.
Thanks everyone who attended yesterday's webinar at AllThingsOracle.com.
I hope the technical difficulties with my new mic (which of course work flawlessly during several test runs) weren't too severe so that you could still understand what I said.
As usual when I do presentations in English it took me far too long so probably some of you missed the end of the session. If you did you may want to check the webinar recording once available at the webinar archive at AllThingsOracle.com, because we had a very good and extensive Q+A session with excellent questions asked.
Thanks again to AllThingsOracle.com and James Murtagh for hosting the event.
Thanks to everyone who attended my two Embarcadero sponsored webinar sessions. I promised to make the slides and some scripts demonstrated in the slides available so here they are:
Slide deck (pdf format)
Scripts (zip format)
Keep an eye out for more webinars I'll be conducting in the coming months!
I'll be conducting a webinar entitled Best Practices for Developing Optimally Performing SQL on April 5. Embarcadero is sponsoring the event as part of their commitment to support the Oracle community with growth and learning opportunities.
The webinar will be offered twice on April 5.
- 6:00 am PDT / 9:00 am EDT / 13:00 GMT / 2 pm in UK
- 11:00am PDT / 2:00pm EDT / 18:00 GMT / 7 pm in UK
I'm normally hesitant to use the label "Best Practices" as I think things often get labeled as such and people forget to test and verify them in context of their own situations and end up creating as many problems as they attempt to solve. So my list of best practices doesn't include specific do's and don'ts. My list is more about how to approach SQL development with a strong emphasis on several key areas:

Most anglers will wait till their line wears out or until the spool is wiped clean before buying a new set.
However, it is best to get them changed every two to three months, depending how often you hit the water.
One good reason to be disciplined about changing your lines is because you wouldn't want to be caught in a situation where you are fighting a large and the line suddenly snaps.
It is advisable to check your braided line before and after each trip; looking out for frays at certain sections or snagging when casting.
If any of the abovementioned scenarios are observed, it is time to change your line.
The fact that lines have a limited shelf life once they come into contact with water makes it a little more frustrating for anglers.
Especially when used in saltwater, the smooth finish on the line will start to deteriorate.
No matter how much you wash, dry and store them, the line will begin to decay over the next few months since its first use.
This will make it weak and more likely to break.

The Architecture and Design of the Royal Arcade
Explore the charm and history of Melbourne City in the Royal Arcade, one of the city's premier shopping destinations that are filled to the brim with designer boutiques, cafes, and must-visit stores.
Set in the Central Business District of the city, it dates back to 1870 when its grand opening took place. It is now one of the oldest surviving shopping arcades in Australia and is best-known for its opulent interior and the impressive carvings of mythical figures Gog and Magog that guard the southern entrance.
The Architecture of the Royal Arcade
The architecture is one of the most stunning things about the arcade. It was designed by Charles Webb in 1868 when he won a competition asking for entries to visualise and bring to life this opulent shopping complex. Today, the arcade boasts a stunning design, with a high glass roof and grand arched windows that add a sense of royal charm to the shopping experience.
Gog and Magog in the Royal Arcade
Perhaps the most prominent architectural feature of the arcade, though, is the famous carved figures of Gog and Magog who guard Gaunt's clock. The arms of the figures come to life every hour as their arms strike bells to mark the time. Added to the design in 1893, the figures have become a pivotal part of the arcade.
There are a number of myths surrounding the historical figures of Gog and Magog, including one story that tells of them being guards of the underworld and gods of dark spirits. The story says that, once Gog and Magog return to war, the war will end.
There are a couple of other carved statues at home in the arcade, too, including a symbolic feature piece of Chronos, a Greek mythological character known as Father Time, who sits to by the northern entrance.
The Royal Arcade Today
Between 2002 and 2004, the Royal Arcade went under a major refurbishment that saw it restored back to its former glory. Extensive work was carried out on its grand skylights and its elegant storefronts to fully reflect its historic charm.
Today, the arcade remains a beautiful reminder of the city's past, largely untouched by modern goings-on. Its Renaissance Revival style remains in a pristine condition, promising a stunning backdrop for any shopping experience.
If you're in the area and fancy hitting up the shops, the Royal Arcade brings consumers a historic and charming touch to their day.
Visit the Royal Arcade on our Melbourne City Sightseeing Tour.

18 Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; nI will make him a helper fit for5 him." 19 oNow out of the ground the Lord God had formed6 every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and pbrought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam7 there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a qdeep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made8 into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,
"This at last is rbone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
Or corresponding to; also verse 20
Or And out of the ground the Lord God formed
Or the man
Hebrew built
The Hebrew words for woman (ishshah) and man (ish) sound alike

Vote As If Your Life Depends On It, Because It Does
It's no secret that we Critters are pretty liberal. And while it is our official policy to not endorse any particular candidate, it's not hard to guess who we would like to see win. (It may surprise you to learn that some of us, for our own reasons, may not vote for him.) Still, we do want every eligible voter to vote in this election. Remember that every seat in the House of Representatives is up for re-election (as they are every two years), and about one third of the Senate is up for grabs. Even if neither of the major party candidates impresses you enough to go out and vote next Tuesday, consider the other issues that need to be decided by you, the voter. Many states have ballot referendums that require your input. In my own home state, we're voting to amend our state constitution, which is never something to be taken lightly. It's important that matters like this be decided by the widest number of people possible, instead of just a few who vote regularly. Below are links to each state's election information. Check your state to see what else you need to vote on.
And remember, if you are eligible, it is your civic duty to vote. So be proud of the fact that you can vote, as there are many people in the world who cannot have any say in their government's makeup. The issues are too important to dismiss. The future is too imperiled to ignore. Your life, and the lives of your children, may depend on the decisions we as a nation make on November 4th. So vote as if your life depends on it, because it does. Thank you for voting.

Reagan's Chief of Staff endorses Obama
CNN reports:
Former Reagan chief of staff Ken Duberstein told CNN's Fareed Zakaria this week he intends to vote for Democrat Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Duberstein said he was influenced by another prominent Reagan official – Colin Powell – in his decision.
"Well let's put it this way – I think Colin Powell's decision is in fact the good housekeeping seal of approval on Barack Obama."
Heh. More Republicans for Obama.

Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider 2008
There's a younger black man on the trail today
Says the same old things as yesterday
There's a black man caught by a high-strung cop
There's a flag pin flap and the smears won't stop
I have stood here before and said this same refrain
That the world's turning circles going fast insane
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll let me reign
But it's my destiny to be the King No Brain
Happy Halloween
Olbermann: McCain linked to Khalidi and Ayers
In a Special Campaign Comment, Keith Olbermann points out that not only does John McCain have a closer relationship with Rashid Khalidi than Barack Obama does, that relationship means McCain is has a connection to William Ayers as well.
If you'd like to learn more about who Rashidi Khalidi is (an American scholar of Palestinian heritage), rather than — through dark insinuations — who the McCain campaign is attempting to portray him as, read McCain Racism, Hypocrisy on Khalidi Issue.
This tactic of smearing people, through the use of insinuations, distortions, and implied associations, playing off of (and feeding into) the fear and hate that still exists in this country, has GOT TO STOP!!
