Please note - VRBO posts rental rates in USD, click on the rates tab and use the currency conversion icon to see Canadian rates.
We live at the lake and have decided to make our cabin a rental so we can share the surroundings with people who aren't lucky enough to live near water, surrounded by nature. We take pride in selecting the perfect guests to ensure our property provides the type of vacation you are looking for.
If you are hoping for a quiet get away this is the place.
Our property is clean, well maintained and perfect for wildlife enthusiasts..
Shower under the stars, or if you are lucky enough to be here for the full moon. Enjoy fireflies up close. Hear the Loons calling...... just some of the things to look forward to..
This is our second time staying at this cabin and it's been perfect both times. We've enjoyed the fishing, canoeing, and swimming along with quiet time to rejuvinate. We have ventured in to town (Verona) to golf and to Kingston to ride our bikes along the lakeshore and to explore Old Fort Henry.
Me, my husband and our 17 month old son Elijah made the trek from the Niagara region to spend a week on the water in this cozy and cute cabin. We were greeted by our wonderful hosts and given a tour of the property which was absolutely beautiful. During our week stay we got quite a bit of rain but we didn't spend a moment being bored; there was satellite TV, board games, a ping pong table and many other activities to make the time pass. So peaceful to wake up to the sound of loons out on the lake and see the water right from your bed and even spend time reading in the hammock by the water and listening to the sounds of nature. We have decided to make this cabin our annual family vacation and look forward to returning next year...we will have lots of good memories for many years to come!!!
What a wonderful, peaceful cottage where you can just get away from it all. We loved our stay, 2 adults and two boys (11 and 8). Al and Simone have made a welcoming place for families. You see their heart in the care of the property, their respect for the nature around them and in their friendliness with their guests. We loved the swimming, the fishing, the canoeing..all on a peaceful, private lake...we could hardly believe it was end of July b/c the lake was so quiet. It was a great place to reconnect as a family, as there are no distractions and disruptions. The cottage was cozy and warm, and sound proof so good for an afternoon nap while dad kept kids busy. Well stocked kitchen and screened in porch for dining pleasure. The outdoor shower was very cool and the outhouse...you could sit and read the paper if you needed to..was well kept. It was better than the picture because of the feel of the place cannot be captured. Thank you for such a wonderful time. For those who may need a bit of night life and partying, it may not be the place for you... the only show you will see is the amazing stars, the sound of loons calling, chipmunks scampering and crickets chirping.
20 minute drive into Verona, groceries, hardware, local shops, beer/liquor, gas, etc.

text: 000 FXUS63 KIND 122308 AFDIND Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 608 PM EST Thu Jan 12 2017 .UPDATE... The AVIATION Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 300 PM EST Thu Jan 12 2017 This weekend will see a return to seasonable weather in the wake of a strong cold front. Precipitation will return late Friday and chances will continue through the middle of next week. The precipitation type is expected to alternate between mainly rain and freezing rain this weekend. A cold front will push through central Indiana today and usher in a shallow cold airmass, bringing a return to cooler temps and setting the stage for light icing potential over the weekend, mainly Friday Night into early Saturday, and late Saturday into early Sunday. The active pattern will continue into next week with rain chances most days through the end of the period. The best chances for freezing rain will be Friday night into Saturday morning and Saturday night and into Sunday morning. Light icing is possible. Well above normal temperatures will return by Monday as the stalled cold front returns north as a warm front. && .NEAR TERM /Rest of today and Tonight/... Issued at 300 PM EST Thu Jan 12 2017 Large temperature gradient over the forecast area early this afternoon as a strong cold front was moving southeast across our southeastern counties. Radar trends suggest showers will move southeast of the forecast area by 00z this evening as a dry slot moves in. Satellite trends and model rh time sections suggest there will be at least partial clearing tonight. Winds will diminish a bit after dark as arctic high pressure drifts east over the Dakotas and Minnesota. Blend looks good with overnight lows in the 20s. With temperatures that cold wet surfaces, certainly could see some icy conditions on untreated roadways tonight. && .SHORT TERM /Friday through Sunday/... Issued at 300 PM EST Thu Jan 12 2017 Main concern this weekend will be freezing rain as warm air aloft overruns a Tennessee Valley boundary and moves overtop a shallow cold layer over the Ohio Valley. Model rh time sections and 295K isentropic analysis suggest precipitation will spread north to south Friday afternoon and night. Model soundings and critical thicknesses favor rain changing to freezing rain or sleet late Friday afternoon and night. In addition to isentropic lift, models take the upper low, currently over northern California, to Baja California on Friday night and Saturday and northern Mexico Saturday night and Sunday. This feature will eject weak impulses northeast and east across the Ohio valley through the weekend. These will also interact with a moist atmosphere and provide additional chances for precipitation through the weekend. Model soundings and critical thicknesses suggests a transition from freezing rain and sleet to rain from north to south Saturday mid morning to early afternoon. Then, look for rain to change back to freezing rain over all but the far southern tier or two of counties Saturday night before it once again changes back to rain Sunday morning. Low level thermal progs favor seasonable temperatures per model blend. && .LONG TERM /Sunday Night Through Thursday/... Issued at 237 PM EST Thu Jan 12 2017 Ensembles in good agreement during this period. Mean upper ridging expected to hold over the eastern parts of the country, while a fairly deep mean trough will be located just off the West Coast. There are differences in timing and intensity of individual disturbances that are expected to eject out of the western trough during the period. Ensembles suggest PoPs will be required throughout the extended at this time. Other than the potential for some freezing rain over the northern zones Sunday night, temperatures at the surface and aloft support rain as the main precipitation type. Long range model data suggest some threat for thunderstorms around next Tuesday as well. Temperatures through the period should average well above normal given the strong positive height anomalies predicted over the eastern parts of the country. && .AVIATION /Discussion for 130000Z TAF Issuance/... Issued at 608 PM EST Thu Jan 12 2017 VFR conditions will return later this evening and continue through most of Friday. Deteriorating conditions expected with precip Friday night. Frontal boundary continues to move away to the southeast with rain showers tracking with it. Lower stratus lingering back across the region but expect that to diminish through the evening as a strong high pressure expands southeast into central Indiana. Winds will remain northerly through the night. The high will drift east across the Great Lakes on Friday as the frontal boundary becomes stalled across the lower Ohio Valley. Moisture advecting north into the region through the day will set up an overrunning precipitation scenario. Expect clouds to thicken with light rain expanding north during the late afternoon. As low level thermals cool however...freezing rain will become the primary precip type for Friday night. Winds will veer to E/NE by the end of the period as the center of the high pressure moves into the eastern Great Lakes. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

New Merchant on Madison: Pretty Little Things
Funky apparel and lifestyle boutique opens in Forest Park
|Share on Facebook
|Share on Twitter
Forest Park has a wonderful collection of unique boutiques on Madison Street, but the recent addition of Pretty Little Things (7324 W. Madison Street) has just amped up their fun factor.
Binky and Signe (pronounced sig-nee) are sisters and co-owners of this hip, little shop chalk full of funky housewares, artistic apparel for guys, gals and tiny tots, as well as colorful, earth friendly curiosities.
The focus of the very cool, sometimes very quirky items chosen by the dynamic duo (who attribute their names to hippy parents) is on quality products made in the USA, crafted by local or underground artists.
You'll find an inspired selection of whimsical dresses, original t-shirts, handcrafted bags, fanciful jewelry, and plucky home decor (see photo gallery).
Vintage furnishings dot this quaint shop, with an antique sea green baby crib reinvented as a clothes rack and a comfy couch in a bold pattern, circa 1970 – that has clearly been resurrected from someone's basement (recycling done right!) – added as a warm and inviting touch.
A collection of distinctive pint glasses sporting screen-printed bicycles in lively colors of aqua, cherry red and lemon yellow make a great gift or self-indulgence.
An amber-colored canvas clutch handmade in Seattle is the perfect spring accessory. Delicate, nature-inspired costume jewelry is an inexpensive way to add style to any outfit. And my personal favorite: a timber timepiece, a watch constructed of sustainable wood (see photos).
As for the unusual merchandise, ask about the product that will make you swoon – literally, that is. There's a foot mat designed to massage pressure points that leaves your legs feeling tingly. If you decide to try it or buy it, let the rest of us know how you like it!

Hmm just got an idea for the antagonists in Saints Rose (Saints Row au)
Ah man sorry if some part looks wonky these are just quick doodles :x
Article XXII of the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion states:
The Romish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshipping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God.
Because I care about my fellow Anglicans, and because I care about the legacy of Anglicanism itself, I must lovingly proclaim the truth to the best of my ability, praying to God our Father in the hope that those who have drifted away from the via media will see their error and return wholly to the wholesome doctrine of the Church.
Almighty God, whose name is a strong tower in which we your unworthy servants find rest for our souls, grant us grace, we beseech thee, so not to be
tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, but to rest surely on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
(Originally this was meant to be a bit of an exaggeration, but I'm actually also kind of serious.)
Halloween - "eve of all saints" (scottish + old eng.)
From Old English "hallow " (holy person, saint) and Scottish "llhallow-even" (Eve of All Saints). All Saints Day is a Roman Catholic celebration on November 1st, so the last day of October is the Eve of All Saints. The last day of October was also, on the old Celtic calendar, "Old Year's Night" - a pagan holiday. It was believed that on this day, ghosts roamed the earth, and people needed to disguise themselves similarly to blend in and not be noticed by the roaming phantoms.

The shoe store is fine -- good selection, and the staff seem pretty knowledgeable. The clothing store is a joke. Service is just ridiculously useless. Want to buy some cold-weather running pants? Too bad, they only carry tights. Want to buy a Moving Comfort sports bra? Hope you wear a size 34 or up, because they don't carry anything smaller. Maybe the lack of selection has something to do with 50% of the store being devoted to cute but functionally useless ""casual"" clothes.
I really LOVE the unexplained personal questions when you make a purchase. My last name? My address? It's because they want you on their mailing list, but they don't bother asking you if A) you're on the mailing list or B) you WANT to be on the list. Every single time I have to ASK if I could just make my purchase, because they will spend 5 minutes or more trying to find me on a mailing list that I'm not on and don't want to be on.
(And am I really the only person who has this problem? There have to be a couple hundred working actors, writers and directors living in Brentwood -- none of whom would want to announce their home address aloud in public.)
I am relieved to say I'll never be going back, but let my experience save you some hassle: Don't bother! There are LOTS of other running/athletic stores to choose from!

Environmental groups file suit against EPA emissions standards
Say emissions pose threat to St. Charles residents
June 01, 2013 at 9:32 am | Mobile Reader | Print
St. Charles Parish is the second most industrialized parish in the state and is home to numerous flares the Louisiana Bucket Brigade (LABB) says are poorly regulated.
Joining the Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Service, Air Alliance Houston and Community In-Power and Development Association Inc.,LABB filed a lawsuit through the Environmental Integrity Project against the EPA that accuses the federal agency of lack oversight in industrial containment of hazardous materials.
LABB and their partners in the lawsuit assert that every three years the EPA is required under the Clean Air Act to revise formulas, known as emissions factors, that plants use to estimate the amount of emissions they release. The lawsuit states such an assessment has not taken place for flares since 1991.
Citing recent studies done on emissions factors, Anna Hrybyk, program manager for LABB, said the groups concern is that the release of potentially harmful chemicals are not being measured accurately.
"Industrial sites are allowed to use emissions factors that estimate the efficiency of flares, which they say are around 98 percent," she said. "When the refinery isnt functioning optimally the refinery is only burning 50 to 60 percent of the emissions, which leads us to believe that refineries are grossly underestimating the amount of emissions burned by the flares."
Included in the emissions Hrybyk expects are being released without properly burning off in the flare is benzene, which is proven to cause cancer in cases of long-term exposure. She also believes other chemicals are being released that can cause diseases and have health affects on parish residents with respiratory ailments.
"This affects public health because it allows the refineries to expose people to emissions beyond what the law allows," she said.
What LABB and their counterparts are calling for, in addition to updated emissions factors, are stack testing, which would involve putting devices in the flares that would more accurately record the amount of emissions being burnt off and the amount being released.
"All of them are using emissions factors to calculate their emissions from the flare. If emissions factors were revised and updated they would have to increase their amounts pretty significantly," Hrybryk said. "One thing we advise is that they do stack testing to see what is coming out of the flare."
Hrybyk said a telltale sign of improperly released emissions has been noticed during flaring at the Shell/Motiva complex a few weeks ago, which is something she anticipates would be minimized if stack monitoring were in place.
"When they are not burning efficiently they tend to have a lot of black smoke and in that case they are releasing a lot of emissions," she said.
Both the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and Motiva declined to comment on the lawsuit given that neither are a party to it.

"What a wonderful collection of patterns in this free eBook of 14 fantastic bags to crochet! I adore crocheted bags and really love making them too so for me this book is like a little piece of heaven. Ive also downloaded the free ebook with 11 crochet bag patterns, also on All Free Crochet. That ebook also has detailed tutorials on how to line some of the bags too. Often I dont bother to line because I feel it is going to be too difficult but now that Ive seen how easy it really is I admit to feeling a bit silly lol."
"I totally agree with the comment from Neffendi (below) re Kristin Omdahl patterns. Always gorgeous. Also when I first saw this one I thought it would be difficult to make but then I saw that it is rated easy so I decided to give it a try. I have now worked about 10cm (5in) and it really is easy. Yay!"
"Shawls and wraps are things I can never have enough of. I love the way they can completely change the whole look of whatever Im wearing and this Evening Crochet Shawl is such a pretty design. Very delicate looking, I just love it. My first thought was to make it in different colors but, on reflection, I think the colors in the yarn are lovely and complement the design very nicely. Looking forward to wearing it soon!"

Accenture http://www.accenture.com
Consulting is a fast paced environment that can overwork you and wear you down. However, Accenture is a company that you can drive your own career potentially at your own pace. The downside is sometimes you have to sacrifice your personal life or professional career by placing one over the other.
It's a great place to work if you are a high performing woman. People will help you find opportunities to stay local especially if you are in a hub.
External client facing roles can mean lots of travel and hours. In town roles can mean driving an hour to a client site (one way). Moving internally may eliminate weekly travel, but hours can still be long due to decreasing team sizes and rewards well decent, are only good if you are in the top 30%
There is a significant positive shift to proactively talk about and empower women with flexibility around pregnancy and being a parent. The best part is that it also includes flexibility for men as well.
In general, women are treated very fairly at the company, however, there still seems to be a bit of the old boys club at the senior levels.
The company itself is great and having the option to align to an area where you don't have to travel (dependent on projects in the area) is a definite plus.
I've worked here for a year and a half now. There are only a handful of women managers. I have experienced blatant discrimination based on my sex by a male manager and when I reported it, was retaliated against.
I've worked for the firm for 9 years. We do a great job with cultural diversity in our workforce. However, most women hit the glass ceiling at the Senior Manager level. When you look across our organization, women are under represented at the Managing Director level across all lines of business.
Accenture loves strong women. I have seen quite a few women in leadership roles, who do not compromise their sense of self, femininity *if they choose to do so* or time to build their families. Hard work speaks for itself here.
I've worked here for one year and there are a lot of women working here. Management is male-dominated and not diverse, which makes it tougher for women to "network" with them and establish a candor to feel comfortable.

Rise of the Tomb Raider hits the shelves in November on exactly the same day as one of the most awaited game of the last few years i.e. Fallout 4. Does that make you think the former could have a hard time pulling sales it would otherwise?
If you ask the developers, they say they are cool with it.
On the topic of going head to head with Fallout 4 for release on November 10, 2015, Game Director Brian Horton said that they had nothing to fear about since the two games could be differentiated. The experience being offered by Crystal Dynamics is not what Bethesda is offering:
We're big fans of Fallout, it's such a great game. But we believe we offer something completely different from a gaming experience point of view. We feel good about the date and the quality of the game will speak for itself.
Staying on point about the experience being offered, Horton added that Rise of the Tomb Raider cannot be attached to a specific type of experience since it offers a bit of everything to the fans like the previous installments in the series:
We're going to have something a little bit for everyone in here. And we want the player to feel like they can play the game the way they want. So if you're a fan of more stealth-based gameplay you can play it that way, if you like more action it's there also.
Was it a wise decision to choose that release date for Rise of the Tomb Raider?

Francis Bebey
African Electronic Music 1975-1982
(Born Bad)
US: 8 May 2012
UK: 2 Apr 2012
Francis Bebey is not exactly a household name. However, he was one of the last true "Renaissance men", something of a Franco-African Leonard Cohen, if you will. Born in Cameroon and educated at the Sorbonne and in the United States, Bebey was a successful novelist, journalist, sculptor and diplomatic consultant.
He also made music, releasing scores of albums from 1969 onward, mostly in a singularly eclectic, acoustic guitar-based mixture of African and Western styles. But, as its title suggests, African Electronic Music 1975-1982 highlights a lesser-known aspect of Bebey's career in music. Inspired by his father's electronic organ, Bebey experimented with its sounds and pre-programmed drum patterns, releasing several rare, electronics-based albums. African Electronic Music 1975-1982 collects 14 tracks from these releases. It is, not surprisingly given Bebey's history, an eclectic mix nonetheless.
Crucially, the music here is not all electronic. Bebey used the electronic instruments to intermingle experimental techniques and new textures with traditional acoustic guitar, bass and African percussion. This amalgam plays out in exemplary fashion on opener "New Track". Chiming, gamelan-like percussion gives way to a huge synthesizer riff that sounds like a hoarse, highly-processed wah-wah guitar. Electric bass holds down the bottom as Bebey chants, "I wanna banana and water / And dance on the new track". In its heavily-syncopated strangeness it's all very reminiscent of fellow Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, though with a one-man-band taking place of Kuti's Africa 70.
You might well figure you know exactly what you're in for, then, but African Electronic Music 1975-1982 takes several twists and turns. "La Condition Masculine" heads up a suite of tracks that are made up of Bebey orating in French as a hissing drum machine and squiggly synths do their polyrhythmic thing in the background. Of these, "Divorce Pygmee" gets a nice, laid-back groove going, while "Fleur Tropicale" is based on acoustic guitar. "Tiers Monde" and the wonderfully-titled "Coffee Cola Song" are bright folk-pop that must have at some point passed through Cornershop's turntable.
Then there are the real curiosities. "Pygmy Love Song" is a brooding, organ-led, English-language ballad that sounds like David Bowie or even Cohen himself. The only giveaway is the crude pan flute synth that punctures the track. "Catching Up" is Bebey on the edge, a hard-funk Afrobeat rhythm over which Bebey denounces an "impossible love" before moaning and hissing "Cheer up!" in a manner that is anything but encouraging. Fascinating.
The remaining tracks are mostly jams and freakouts, instrumental meanderings more than proper compositions. These are reminders that African Electronic Music 1975-1982 is, after all, a bit of a hodgepodge compilation, and that Bebey was indulging his creative spirit more than he was creating music for a mass audience. Still, the more structured tracks serve notice Bebey was an accomplished composer who had several big hits in his native land.
Electronic music technology developed swiftly over the time span covered by this compilation, but Bebey's does not seem to have kept up. The rudimentary drum machines, organs, and synthesizers that sounded groundbreaking in 1975 had become outdated by 1982. What's really impressive and timeless is the loose, independent spirit that permeates this music.

Government Sanctioned Maturity
11/28/2005 7:58 pm
Government Sanctioned Maturity
After completing and returning the required documents, my 18 year old son has finally recieved his Official Registration Acknowledgement Card from the United States Government. He is now in the database as a potential draftee for the US military.
The government says he is old enough now to be trained to kill. Yet they refuse to sell him a lousy beer. He will be old enough for that when he is 21, according to them. Hmm, I wonder what criteria they used to delineate these levels of maturity for us?
When I was eighteen the government thought it was ok to sell me beer. Today they have changed their mind, and the law. (I wonder if there is a correlation there?)
Oh well, at least he can vote now.
11/28/2005 8:28 pm
He's OK to be slaughtered by the enemy but can't take a drink to save his life.
There's military intelligence for ya!

Its a strange place the US, I was talking to my son just a few days ago about the very same thing, old enough to select who run the country, old enough to buy and own a gun and old enough die for that country, but not old enough have a beer. Like frangi, glad I live a more sensable country

But they still want their young (and not so young) citizens

Laws change all the time, in fact that very issue is brought up all the time... go figure.. if they fight with someone in school, get in a car accident ect... and cause any kind of bodily harm they are tried as an adult... and get jail time. Still all and all relax...drinking may have been legal for me also at 18, but I was buying and drinking at 14 LOL...I'm pretty sure its still the same way today...
11/29/2005 11:01 pm
Its a bizarre thing indeed.
Personally I have always believed that when you are at the age of being considered an adult (1 then you are old enough to make all the decisions that an adult can make. Including the purchase and consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Oh, I am certain that he will learn much about the effects of alchohol if he ever joins the military KC JJ.
There are always ways around the laws saint. In the other extreme, there are many stories of kids to young to enlist who lie about their age and are accepted.
Are you truly shocked saddletrampsk? Human history abounds with wars of religion and over resources. It is what we do...
Agreed candy. When placed together the two issues seem to make little sense. Separately, perhaps it has been determined that alchohol is more dangerous to the young than soldiering. Thus they make them wait a few years before sanctioning drinking.
I love your figure bunnzy baby! Mmmmm, yummy!
I beleive that is true sexymermaid.
My first election was 1976, wahine. I voted for Jerry Ford. I got Jimmy Carter.
Training our young in the use of firearms was an historical necessity in the early days of the Republic spinmedown. This tradition has continued, long after the "necessity" has lost it's importance.

Oh, I'm sure there are more than a few unsensible things going on in that paradise of a country that you now call home expat, ol pal...
"Defense" of the nation has been a primary duty of a citizen since humans first banded together into communities, interested. I reckon the "scheme" is for the survival of the society, which makes sense in its most basic form.
It is when we change the definition of what constitutes "defense" that we get ourselves involved in foreign wars.
Is Bizzaro World accepting lunatics for citizenship, jayR? I wish to emigrate there.
Certainly they think before they act sj. Yet by the time they move it through the beaurocracy the conditions outside have since changed...
Oh yes, Tootsy Roll. I'm certain that that is still the way of it...
Agreed bard. That sounds reasonable to me too.
Perhaps there is some sense in it slide. Young soldiers can be conditioned to follow orders and to kill. They can also learn skills that will serve them well when they leave the service. Young drinkers can lose their life potential if they become alchoholics, and thus unproductive to society for life.
Gawd, I hope you are wrong about that honni. We need to get out of this Iraqi morass ASAP.
Ha ha, CnC! Those nutty Americans can be dangerous at the polls, can they not?

in the Uk,
16 for sex and cigs
17 for Army
18 for marriage and vote
18 for Alcohol
They have no draft and should raise alchol till there 40,they might be mature enough to handl it by then but knowing the brits no chance of that happening.
Marriage at 14 for all those undersage children who get pregnant and the lttle shits who pregnate them,if your mature enough to do it your mature enough to use protection,if marriage was enforced they soon zip it back up.

Keith, as the parent of an 18 yo son myself, I don't understand this either. Let's keep our fingers crossed for both of them
12/1/2005 1:47 pm
Oh to be government sanctioned!
Well it's one of those less than desirable rites of passage.
I hope he never has to go by being called up, if he decides to do such on his own I would wish him the best of the best. Can be one great carrer starter and when you get out? You are a young fellow still and have a pretty good monthly income flowing. Lots of free education available with in the military too.
But I would suggest that he lay low for the time being and let this mess air out first.
12/1/2005 8:31 pm
As an employer, seeing military experience on a resume is a major plus. It usually indicates a better work ethic and a desire to do something with themselves.
As a father, I would much rather see my sons fighting to free a people knowing that their country is behind them 100% rather than in the aftermath doing the cleanup work when it seems that most of their home country refuses to see the good things that they have accomplished and refuses to admit that no matter what the reasons for going there, the world is still better off with Saddam Hussein removed from power.
As a father I would much rather have seen my sons fighting in Iraq now than face seeing them in North Korea when they actually get old enough to join or be drafted as the case may be by then. Especially knowing that if we had stood togehter as a country from the beginning of the war then these other countries that still threaten us would still be shaking in their boots as they were when we went into Iraq because they would know that the only thing that stood between them and total annihilation is our compassion.
Doesn't anybody realize that our men over there had a much better survival rate before the enemy saw Americans fighting amongst themselves over who's right and who's wrong. They see us divided and to them that is only one thing. Weakness.

dz, societies change and go in different directions over time. Our society isn't perfect, and neither is any other. Utopia is an ideal, not a reality.
As for the oil, we will be needing more not less.
Thanks papy. I'm sure that you will mind your p's and q's if my strapling son came to live with you... NOT!
PS: You go on and rant all you like. This IS The Venting Blog, don't you know?
Jeeze polly, you're an Aussie? With all the travelling you do I just figured you to be a wanderer without a home...
It's odd allright, sil.
Ahh, I would love to visit Ireland, silky. I have anscestors there.
Thanks, caressmewell. There's so much to worry about as parents, and now this. Oh well, the future will bring what it may...
Yes, sexyfitwoman. I know some of the criteria used by the government when they raised the drinking age. In fact, I support those laws. Our family too, has suffered the severest of losses due to alchohol imbibing young people. I was wondering who would be the first to point out that the law was passed to reduce the loss of life. On the other hand, the draft law will increase the loss of life. (hopefully more on the enemy's part, rather than ours)
I hear you TopFisher. I discussed the option of joining the military with my son on several occasions while he was still in high school. It is an acceptable means to learn some skills. Or even as a full fledged carreer. I am not anti-draft if it is for the defense of the nation. I do oppose using the military for "nation-building" as has been attempted recently in Iraq, however.
Some wars seem to divide societies rather than unite them Mr. Xes. In a free land there will always be debate.
Agreed BigGirlzRSweet. While there may be good reasons to differentiate levels of maturity, on the surface it seems quite odd.
Just keep the females from clawing him all at once Tala. OK? (they are all over him here).
Hullo there lustmirror! It is very nice to see you here again! I agree with your prediction.

No disrespect to anyone intended, but I have 2 teenage sons also:
1. I would have to see the statistics (multiple studies supporting each other that were not paid for by the government, they are as unbiased as the pharmaceutical companies wanting to market a drug) proving the death rate due to alcohol actually dropped...all the 18-21 year olds I know (and I know alot) still have access to alcohol via older friends and siblings. I have noticed that alot more teens have problems affording vehicles and car insurance compared with when I was their age--everybody had a car--since the cost of all has increased and the influx of Mexicans is taking unskilled labor jobs away and the minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation. There are no public teen hangout spots around here anymore, either, so there's more reason to hang out in private homes and less reason to be cruising the mall and the waterfront (you'll be stopped and given a ticket). Road checks for licenses and drinking are common in my town. Wonder which facts are causation and which are correlation.
2. Having done R%D and working with statistics, I happen to know for a fact that researchers tweak their numbers, leave out relevant facts, and tend to association correlation with causation which isn't logical but most Americans fall for it hook line and sinker.
3. If we see it in print we believe it--hey, look at the Iraq war. We were all in shock and ticked off about the WTC so we took the bait to go kick some terrorist butt and then found ourselves magically in the country with the biggest untapped oil reserves in the world on the guise of being after Saddam Hussein and WMD--even AFTER the govt knew most of the WTC terrorists were Saudis---forget those terrorists, all the administration was waiting for was an excuse to invade the Middle East and Iraq. If you can't see that, you haven't been paying attention to something.
4. We have too many professional politicians who make their living passing socially acceptable laws regardless of logic.
5. We have too many citizens that get their "facts" from soundbites.
And even if the death rate did drop:
6. We live in a nation of hypocracy that is quick to pass laws against things that are "bad" for you...consider the Bush phenomenon and the drive to legislate morality...like routine road checks, the Patriot Act (well, now, if you're a good citizen and YOU'RE clean you can't possibly be AGAINST proving it so that we can catch all the bad guys, can you? despite the millions and billions of dollars we throw away on perfectly useless endeavors...)
7. It is just as logical to completely outlaw alcohol, tobacco, adultery, and whatever, because it will save even more families and lives, right? If it's against the law nobody's going to do it, right? How the devil do you think the mafia and the drug underground got all their money and power, anyhow? Why is America the biggest consumer of illicit drugs in the entire world if making it illegal is that much of a disincentive?
It is this blindness and inability to think rationally that Americans persist in, that cannot see the reality for the political, religious, and scientific rhetoric that in a society as capitalistic as this one is, is unbalanced with power and money being the driving force behind virtually every statistic you see and the older we all get the more immersed we become in group think and the more easily we become manipulated with emotional ploys and misleading numbers.
In my opinion it is completely self-serving for a nation to send it's 18 year olds to war to potentially die for this country and yet not allow them to drink alcohol--or if they get busted give them jail time and/or court fees and I am amazed that anybody can seriously think that this dichotomy is acceptable. The more easily you can rationalizing voting away someone else's rights, the closer you are to losing your own.
Ok I"m off my podium now.

Draft 2006:
My sons have 4 friends already in Iraq. Talk of the draft is a done deal according to them and what they are hearing from the brass. When I took my older son to get his driver's license this summer the DMV lady said they were expecting draft legislation to come within the next few weeks. The military is becoming unable to support the level of involvement in Iraq and the rest of the world as evidenced by decreasing recruits and higher levels of National Guard being sent to Iraq. The only people that aren't aware that the draft is coming are those that don't know anybody in the military or any politicians personally. The only thing that will avert it a decreasing of our involvement in Iraq and the resolution of the American public.

12/5/2005 8:38 pm
Well, wherever it ended up, I hope you will be more careful with that trike from now on Katey, dearie.
Well said, corezon! This is the type of rant for which The Venting Blog has become famous!
Statistics are useful, but you are correct to be wary and look at them carefully. The very same numbers can often be used to support both sides of an argument if the user is skilled.
The military is well known as a rumor mill. I do not believe the draft will return as a result of this present war. There is not enough support politically at this point in time.
Thanks candysoveryverysweet! There really are no correct answers for the issues raised in this post. Drinking ages and draft ages... They are completely different animals. They should be treated separately, subject to different criteria.
Yet, I remember when the drinking age was raised, and the issue of being old enough to be a soldier, but not old enough to drink a beer was widely discussed. I thought it would be interesting to see how you guys felt about it... (and it has been interesting)
We will pull out before we initiate a draft puss. Gawd help us if we get sucked in deeper...

2 things Keith:
1) Wow the kid thing is kinda scary... I have a friend who has his youngest son serving in IRAQ right now... (my hats off to all of those who are) and the Dad is non-stop thinking about it and worrying over it. YIKES
2) I just missed the Vietnam war by 1 year.. my Dad told me he would have brought me up to Canada... I went to my local Draft Board and signed up and got my draft card... (1A) and 2 months later went to an aniti war protest, burned my card up and sent the board my card's ashes, about a month later I was sent another card! LOL
Thank god we could drink at 18 back then.. kinda stressfull times... but other on here are correct, moving the drinking age up will save a bunch of lives...
Great blog!

Hullo there IPman! Welcome back to The Venting Blog! I just barely missed being drafted myself for that conflict in Vietnam. Fortunately for me and many others, it was ended in time.
Unfortunately, it was the death of many of our countryman and allies as well as for the "enemy", who died in the millions.
If my kid gets drafted I will urge him to do his duty. While we are both against the war, he says he is going to emigrate if he gets drafted. I will support him either way.

Didn't like what I had to do in "Desert Storm", but had to do it regardless of my emotions. Battles are fought everywhere, but we, as AMERICANS have to start to win the battle of the vote. And that one is the one that he can participate in NOW! Don't worry, he will be a chip of the ol' block
12/16/2005 6:06 am
Wow, Keith, lots of issues! Lots of points made that I agree with and some that I don't. Thanks for the post! I'm like you. I doubt that we will go back to a draft in this country. And I also agree that there would be tremendous pressure to reduce our involvement in Iraq and other places in the world before re-instituting the draft. But, their are many potential danger spots in the world, and so anything is possible I guess!
I frequently notice that there is a tendency to diss the United States of America, either our government, our leaders, our American people or just everything and everybody. We do it as Americans, and people from other countries do it too!
I would simply implore all of us who are Americans to recognize and acknowledge that we live in a country where we are free to express our views and elect the people who will in turn represent us, making the policy decisions and creating the laws that affect our lives. When we disagree with policy or laws we are free to go to the polls and vote for change. So, I say to those who would "curse the darkness" .... hey, go "light a candle"! In this country, we can all make a difference if we care enough to really get involved with important issues rather than just sit on the sidelines and grumble.
And to all of our good friends from many other countries of the world, yes, you can go ahead and criticize America and Americans all you want. In fact, it's been the popular thing to do since our country was founded back in 1776. But, when you need our assistance and I hope that day will never come for you, your family or your country, and whether that need be economic, military defense or otherwise, we will be there, and we will stand with you to defend against tyranny, terrorism and expansionism, always in the cause of freedom. If, God forbid, a natural disaster should befall your countryland, we will be there with our people, our money, our resources and yes, even our military to help our friends in need. We have always been there for other people, and I believe we always will be!
Many of you, your families, your forefathers and the countries of your birth and citizenship have stood with the United States of America in the defense of freedom, from our revolution, thru the great world wars and now again in Iraq. It was heart warming to see the offers of economic and resource assistance that came from other countries after our recent hurricane disasters. As one greatful American, let me say that I personally appreciate the help and support you have provided.
And now, for my fellow American bloggers, do you remember this highly popular song by Lee Greenwood? Do you remember how you feel every time you hear it sung? Well then, Americans, stand up right there at your computers and sing along!
God Bless the U.S.A.
by Lee Greenwood
If tomorrow all the things were gone I�d worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife.
I�d thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
�Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can�t take that away.
And I�m proud to be an American where at least I know I�m free.
And I won�t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I�d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
�Cause there ain�t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well, there�s pride in every American heart,
and it�s time to stand and say:
I�m proud to be an American where at least I know I�m free.
And I won�t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I�d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
�Cause there ain�t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
OK, Americans! Are you feelin' better?! And are you really 'proud to be an American'?!
