Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann has many friends in the House, but when it comes to snagging a presidential endorsement, she may not be able to rely on her closest confidants.
Bachmann, a congresswoman since 2007, has not received any nods from her colleagues in the lower chamber, and it is likely that even Rep. Steve King of Iowa and Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas--part of a group so close that they're known as "the three amigos"-- won't go to bat for her either.
"I'm not ready," King told The Ticket when asked if he will endorse a candidate, a question the tea party favorite has fielded several times since Bachmann announced her campaign. "This is a great big decision and if it were just personalities, that decision would have already been made. We're still in the middle of this test yet."
For Gohmert, the question of his endorsement is more about having too many friends in the contest. Although he says that he is "extremely close" with Bachmann, Gohmert has personal relationships with every candidate except former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney: Gohmert has known Texas Gov. Rick Perry since college; he once invited former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum to his home district for a fundraiser; he has looked to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for guidance on several occasions; and, as he puts it, he has a "mutual admiration society going on" with businessman Herman Cain.
"I'm not planning on endorsing anybody anytime soon," Gohmert said.
Ever since the battle over President Obama's health care overhaul and the attempt to stimulate the economy through a government spending scheme, the three lawmakers have been virtually inseparable. National Review's Robert Costa described just how close they are, calling the two "Bachmann's lieutenants":
"They're more than friends; they're her in-House soldiers. . . .When Bachmann last year launched an ill-fated bid for the conference chairmanship, they were in her camp, counting noses. When Bachmann created the Tea Party Caucus, they were among the first to sign up. When she began to mull a presidential bid, they counseled her. The evening before the Ames Straw Poll, which Bachmann won, Gohmert warmly introduced her at a campaign event. After her victory, King complimented her message. . . . They pray together, dine together, and huddle on the House floor. At one point, King and Bachmann even shared staff."
But as anyone involved in electoral politics can attest, it's nothing personal.
Gohmert told The Ticket that Bachmann "would make a fantastic president" and King singled her out as the the one candidate that "gets the principles right." But there's more to being president than having a strong message.
King learned the hard way in the last presidential election cycle the importance of choosing his candidate wisely. He jumped on the Fred Thompson bandwagon in December 2007--a campaign that started off with high hopes but quickly fizzled out. This year, he plans to decide before December--and to ensure that the candidate he puts his name behind has staying power.
There is one thing that King says he's still looking for in a candidate: a concrete vision.
"It's one thing to say we're going to go in and undo a lot of the things that happened under the Obama administration--and absolutely we must, you got to clear the decks--but on the other side of that, what are the principles?" he said. "What does America look like? What inspires us? What takes us to another level behind the shining city on a hill? And if a candidate can articulate that and capture that vision, I think, will be the next president."
As for whether Bachmann has contacted him for his endorsement, King said it was "personal" and declined to say. Gohmert said he had not spoken to her about it.
Regardless, when the campaign is over, Gohmert and King hope to go back to their old, rabble-rousing ways, united once again with Washington D.C.'s tea party heroine.
"We are good friends. I hope we remain good friends," King said--another suggestion that when he announces his endorsement decision, it probably won't be for Bachmann. "I expect that will be the case."

Welcome to the Downtown Vision Fund!
This is the ongoing fund and awareness raising page for the Downtown Church which is part of Grace Community Church. Each Month you will see new content which is primarily stories, of what God is doing in and through the Downtown Church. Feel free to check it out, share it out, and contact us for more info.
We thought we would kick off 2016 by introducing you to our church! Below are 2 stories of Alumni of the University of Iowa. You can also take a look at this quick info graphic to see where your support goes and read the stories below, you'll be glad you did…
Alumni – Moved Away
My wife and I attended the University of Iowa a number of years ago. Since graduating we've moved several times and with each move faced the need to find community. What we've learned through all of this is that community (real community – the kind that is more than social media, the weekly scheduled group, or a mutual activity) requires proximity.
For Grace Downtown, having a church location on campus allows for students seeking community to have a place where their college lives and faith community are not mutually exclusive. This is a big need at our university and one that Grace Downtown can fulfill.
Alumni – Moved Back!
Our story in Iowa City dates back to the early 2000's when James and I attended the University of Iowa as undergrads. We met in freshmen honors rhetoric and were dating by the end of our first semester. Throughout undergrad we were involved in campus ministry through 24/7. The Lord used this time to grow our faith and teach us what it means to be on mission for Him. Shortly after my graduation we got married and were off to England where James was completing his masters. Next stop was Boston where James did his PhD studies. While in Boston we attended a church plant that emphasized church community and making Christ known in a very secular city. There we developed a heart for church planting and learned that God has specific kingdom purposes for where we live. He gave us a desire to be in the city for the city no matter where we ended up long term.
After a fellowship at the University of Minnesota, James was on the job market. Through God's providence, James was offered a job as an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Iowa. We had always hoped to end up back in Iowa City. We wanted to be a blessing to the town and university that God used to bless us so we moved to Iowa City fall 2014.
Finding a church can be one of the most difficult aspects of settling into a new community. Our criteria for a church was simple; the church had to be Bible-believing and theologically sound. It needed to be Gospel-centered in its preaching and practice. Finally we hoped to find a church that emphasizes genuine Christian community. We attended several churches in Iowa City but didn't find quite the right fit so we decided to check out Grace Community Church in North Liberty. At first I was hesitant to attend a church in North Liberty because our time in Boston showed us the value of attending a church in our neighborhood. Never the less, we went and soon found that Grace met our criteria very well. Then we were welcomed by Dan Bovenmyer and started talking about church planting. We were thrilled to hear that Grace had a church plant in downtown Iowa City. While we appreciate everything Grace North Liberty has to offer, the smaller community of Grace Downtown offered a place to quickly become part of a community. The missional focus on the University and downtown Iowa City fit into our personal goal of being in the city for the city. We felt confident the Lord was calling us to attend Grace Downtown.
We jumped into Grace Downtown by mid-fall and quickly got involved in house church. The Lord use small group to make Grace Downtown feel like our church home, a place to know others and be known. In summer 2015, with our original house church bursting at the seams, our group multiplied. We now co-lead and host a group at our home on Thursday nights. Our House Church is a mix of people of different ages and stages of life, with many having ties to the University. It has been encouraging to see strangers become like family, united by Christ, and in turn invite others into the group to share in the same community.
In just one year the Lord has mightily used Grace Downtown to bless and minister to our family. Our house church helped us with projects. When our second was born this past summer I was surprised by how many people signed up to bring us meals, many of who were acquaintances outside of our house church. The pastoral staff and their wives were a wonderful support as I sought treatment for post partum depression. Indeed the Lord used Grace Downtown to live out Romans 12: 10-13 "Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality." We pray that the Lord will uses us to minister to others just as He used the people of Grace Downtown to minister to us.

AlterNet: War on Iraq: Operation: Enduring Presence
AlterNet: War on Iraq: Operation: Enduring Presence: "'If the goal of ... the Bush administration, was to overthrow Saddam Hussein, install a friendly government in Baghdad, set up a permanent political and military presence in Iraq, and dominate the behavior of the region (including securing oil supplies),' Hart wrote in May, 'then you build permanent bases for some kind of permanent American military presence. If the goal was to spread democracy and freedom, then you don't.'
Bush has publicly denied that the United States has permanent designs on Iraq, and on February 17, 2005, Donald Rumsfeld told the Senate Armed Services Committee, 'I can assure you that we have no intention at the present time of putting permanent bases in Iraq.' For all the Bush administration has done to verbally dispel notions that it seeks permanent bases, it continues to plan and construct bases that are built to last, well, permanently."
Go check this report out if you were thinking about exporting freedom and democracy.
A new permanent military power base in the middle east securing oil supply is why the invasion was done.
I watched an old panaorama programme on the things Blair did not tll us about his plans to invade Iraq yesterday.
It was good but it ommitted the fact that the air war started in November and there was little to do but charge up the desert to Baghdad in march.
There are reports coming through that the prosecutor in Chicago has indicted Bush and his minions for everything from 911 onwards
There was even a story that Blair had ignored his subpoena.
If the time has come to go after Bush then maybe some action could start here. I don't see any signs yet though.

VIDEO Royals - A's: Kansas City Beats Oakland In AL Wild Card Game, 9-8
The Kansas City Royals have waited nearly three decades to return to the postseason. At about 12:53 am on Wednesday, they gave their fans a reason to appreciate the journey with a come-from-behind victory over the Oakland A's in a 12-inning thriller at Kauffman Stadium in the American League wild-card game, 9-8.
With two outs, Salvador Perez ripped a breaking ball from Jason Hammel that just barely found its way beyond the diving outstretched arm of third baseman Josh Donaldson to drive in Christian Colon for the game-winning run. Much of the packed house of 40,502 were in a state of delirium after the 4-hour 45-minute marathon that featured many highs and lows for the home team.
After falling behind 7-3 and staging an eight-inning comeback, the Royals trailed 8-7 entering the 12th, but their fortunes turned with Eric Hosmer's triple with one out. He would score to even the game on a chopper by Colon.
"This will go down as the craziest I've ever played," said Hosmer, who finished with three hits in four at-bats.
There was plenty of second-guessing in the game, as well. Royals manager Ned Yost heard it from the crowd for pulling ace James Shields in the top of the sixth inning for Yordana Ventura. The rookie then served up a three-run home run to Brandon Moss, his second homer of the game, and Oakland would score two more in the sixth with singles off Kelvin Herrera.
Yost said he "wanted to bring the gas" to put in his power arms to replace Shields.
In the eighth inning, the Royals would score three runs off starter Jon Lester and Luke Gregerson to cut the lead to 7-6. In the ninth, normally reliable closer Sean Doolittle conceded a run off a sacrifice fly from Norichika Aoki to send the game to extra innings.
In the top of the 12th inning, A's pinch hitter Alberto Callaspo singled home Josh Reddick to give Oakland the lead. But the A's couldn't hold on.
A's manager Bob Melvin, a former catcher, may have felt particularly frustrated by the way Oakland surrendered a four-run led. The Royals, arguably the speediest team in baseball, had seven players who stole a base, and five of them scored. The seven stolen bases ties a postseason record dating back to the 1907 Chicago Cubs.
Indeed, Kansas City used "small ball" to beat Oakland. Of the Royals' 15 hits, only two were for extra bases.
"We have a team who likes to run," said Perez.
The Royals, who are coming off the longest postseason drought in the majors, will face the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday at Angel Stadium.

I'm pleased to announce my first publication, a short horror story entitled, Micah's Gift.
It appears in Issue #70 of Black Petal's Magazine.
A flash of lightening, a strange gift, and lives change. Micha's Gift is a tale of hubris.
This story is a deviation from my usual lighter writing. CAUTION! For those who aren't fond of noir (dark) writing, this may not be something you'd like to read.
A lighter tale of terror (Is there such a thing?) follows my story. "Not Safe" was written by one of the excellent authors in my writing group, Emily Livingstone. A great read.
Keep Writing!

Arsenal will have the chance to reach the summit of the Premier League table when they take on West Brom in a thrilling encounter at the Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon.
Manchester City, who are currently top courtesy of their superior goal difference, won't play until late in the day and face a tough challenge against a resilient Liverpool side giving the North London club a great chance of establishing some gap to the Citizens.
The Gunners have pretty mediocre in the weeks prior to the International break, which included a dull draw in the North London club where they were lucky to grab a point and a thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich over in Germany. But Arsenal's over all form this season has been very good and it won't be surprising if they come out flying, but it is highly unlikely as it is always when the players return from their National duties.
Bellerin is back in contention after recovering from a slight groin injury and is likely to get straight into the starting line-up. However it's still not clear where he will start as there is a good chance that he might start at right wing in place of Campbell.
The likes of Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey are all still unavailable, with Campbell being the likely candidate to take that place. There have been reports that Sanchez might not start, but it is likely that he will also be utilised on the left once again, despite the fact that he started and played two full games for Chile during the week.
Coming to the formations Wenger is likely to start with the center-back pair of Mertesacker and Koscielny, despite some questions surrounding Koscielny's readiness following the Paris terror attacks. Monreal will continue on the left with Coquelin and Cazorla continuing their successful partnership in the center of the pitch.
Giroud will continue to lead the line as he has been doing since Walcott's injury and the French striker will be surrounded by Campbell and Sanchez on the wings. Ozil has been in wonderful form this season and will continue in his No.9 role behind the striker.
UPDATE: Team news has just come in and it's Gibbs who replaces Campbell
Starting Line-up(4-2-3-1): Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Coquelin, Cazorla, Kieran Gibbs, Ozil, Sanchez; Giroud.
Bench: Ospina, Debuchy, Gabriel, Arteta, Campbell, Flamini, Adelaide

Everything around you, the items humans produce and exchange with one another, is currently priced in, what I like to think of as, debt currency digits. This situation did not come about overnight but a slow methodical progression to dominance over the hearts and minds of everyone.
Let us take a second to review the origin and creation of these debt currency digits…
Storing energy for consumption at a later date has always been a priority for humans. This stored energy enabled man to survive and thrive in the ecosystems in which we encountered. Various forms of stored energy existed, but the need to transfer and exchange this stored energy created the term "money".
Naming, calling or defining something as "money" does not make that item a store of energy. The Chinese were the first to experience the effects of using definitions to dictate human desires when in 1024 AD the regime at that time created fiat currency, by declaring, from nothing, that the region will use pieces of paper, limitless in supply, to transact the various forms of stored energy. Of course this situation did not benefit the individuals acquiring this fiat but certainly supported those who were able to create it from nothing and trade those units for goods and services.
Nearly 1,100 years later we are able to research and review the impacts and effects of this "let it be done" (fiat) money. Ralph T. Foster recently authored "Fiat Paper Money – History and Evolution of Our Currency" the first and most complete authoritative book on the background and evolution of fiat currency notes throughout history.
The implementation, use and failures of fiat currency over time did not stop those who desired the power of creating something from nothing in order to disproportionately acquire more energy for themselves.
The fait accompli was accomplished by mischievous individuals when 97% through the year 1913, President of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA signed into law the Federal Reserve Act. Within days of its signing, the first issuance of debt currency created (what we call money today) the federal reserve note (frn).
The progression from 1913 to 1971 eventually eliminated the UNITED STATES NOTE which survived from 1863-1971, redeemable in silver bullion, that circulated alongside the frn for decades.
In 1971 (during what would come to be known as the 'Nixon Shock') a series of economic measures were conducted which would forever change the global economy. In abolishing the Bretton Woods agreement of international convertibility of the frn to gold, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA announced it would no longer redeem any outstanding notes for anything but rely solely on new debt currency digits to sustain itself. This currency is reportedly backed by the full faith and credit of the issuer, but relies solely on the desire of the population to exchange their lives and effort for these debt currency digits.
This currency is how you continue to breath because you were able to purchase caloric energy with those digits. Only one "organization" has been authorized to create these debt digits, the FEDERAL RESERVE (of course this cabal is neither federal nor has any reserves, and the story of its creation is an epic conspiracy to consume banks). Currently, individuals are able to exchange these debt digits for BTUs and food due to the PetroDollar deal Henry Kissinger secured with the House of Saud to price their oil in "dollars". Of course the word "dollar" originated from the German word "thaler" which was a silver coin minted in Bohemia.
As stated previously, debt currency manifests itself physically in the form of a federal reserve note. A quick look at the definition of a "Note" yields 'A note is a debt security obligating repayment of a loan at a set interest rate in a defined time period.'
Now pull out one of these frn's from your pocket (if you have any) and you will quickly see that there is no repayment schedule, no set interest rate and no defined time period for that repayment in anything. OK, so where does that leave us now? I bet if you were to go to the non-federal no-reserve anti-bank outfit and present them with 1 frn, theoretically they would take it, then to repay you by presenting you with another 1 frn (if you can access their private property that is).
Thinking critically we realize that this debt currency, defined as legal by the lawyers, is only exchangeable for one of its own and represents, simply, an "I OWE YOU" from the non-federal no-reserve anti-bank complex. Now, I am not surprised that no one knows about the Currency Act of 1792.
The worst part of this story happens to occur in how we define our lives. Currently, the world calls this frn, "money", and everyone desires the digits to acquire more energy, but debt is not energy and this frn cannot acquire any energy from the non-federal no-reserve anti-bank complex which created them, ONLY FROM THE INDIVIDUALS WHO DESIRE THEM.
I coin this the DEBT COMPLEX (it certainly is not a definable system). Given that a note is an IOU and we expend our effort to acquire these debt digits in order to survive and thrive, I challenge that these digits are not money but in fact energy-IOUs.
Let us step back again and review the mathematics of this DEBT COMPLEX. These same energy-IOUs are owed back to the debt complex which created them PLUS interest (payable in those same IOUs). Simple math friends, any number whose growth is expressed in percentage terms will experience an increasing rate of growth. This same "compounding interest" that attracts investors into the corporation stock market increases the level of debt within the complex exponentially.
In an open communication world, no individual would contribute their finite time to acquire a digit that is an IOU, expect to acquire caloric energy in the future with this IOU all while the total number of IOUs in existence is growing at an increasing rate within a finite world.
Fiat declarations continue this economic rat race for our own collective future energy to pass around today by declaring the current value of the complex is proportional to its increasing growth rate.
No, we do not live with and transact "Fiat Money"!
We live in a world that conducts affairs and transfers energy all denominated in debt digits due to the fiat declarations by the complex which provides exchange rates of debt for energy. If you mathematically attempt to solve the equation of the quantity of debt to exchange for energy in a given transaction making no assumptions of future behavior … this equation would not converge, instead, it diverges.
The population is playing a game a musical chairs, with no chairs, but they continue to listen because everyone else is listening.
As Mr. Foster details and makes evidently clear in his research on fiat paper money, the sustainability of these attempts of ruling over definitions relies on the psychology of the underlying population to support the communication of the regimes established.
Via MtKander.com we will review the various instruments used to maintain this mass psychosis of the population to desire IOUs from the non-federal no-reserve anti-bank complex and provide insight into the orchestra while identifying the frequencies of this debt complex PSYOP to help our readers hear most harmonically.

Well, well, well......it worked!
I read all the articles for the week and here's my comment:
My main concern about using Web 2.0
technology for my English classes is the time factor. I'm worried that I'll be "on call" to my students 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. I envision having to check blogs, emails, podcasts, wikis every single day of the week in order to give prompt feedback to my students. I think of all the writing assignments that my students send to me for reading and editing via email. All of the above is in addition to the daily research, planning, and preparation time that I want to do in order to conduct my dynamic and productive English learning classes.
In the good old days, teachers taught class, gave homework/project assignments, and didn't have any contact with the students until the next class. I think all of these Web 2.0 tools are incredible and I can't wait to start utilizing them in my classes. But at the same time, I panic thinking that I'll never have any downtime between classes. I'm also not sure I'm comfortable that students have 24/7 access to me.

hi i think this is my fourth comment today i is realllly great. I have different concerns from lori in introducing blogs in my esp teachings. khartoum univeristy is public univerity all levels of students are accepted. some of them are from conflict zones they cannot afford the luxury of even having three meals per day and some are so rich they drive their 2008 model cars. I feel introducing technology to the class can certainly leave some out. i feel that the poorer students are the ones who really need to know about technology some of them are really cleaver and so keen to learn as they feel that this is their chance to do something in their lives.

The longest journey of my life so far has been from Melbourne to Santiago. Now, if you looked at a map you'd be questioning why so long, considering it was just across the water. That's because I went the opposite direction, aka around the entire planet. If you were in Australia, Asia, The Middle East, Europe or South America last year, at one point I was most likely flying above your head. Eskimos being one of only a few exceptions. Why would I put myself through such an ordeal? One reason, I can never resist booking the cheapest flight I find, hence the 'Tramp' aspect of my oh-so fitting title.
However, after three days of flying, inhaling more sleeping pills than medically-sound, and digesting enough bloating plane food to make me the human equivalent of a hot air balloon – I was in Chile! (My luggage was in Saudi Arabia, but that's another story.)
I moved to Santiago with the intention to teach, save some money and travel. My friend and I were lining up job interviews and booking apartment viewings – basically nailing life. We even had a functioning SIM card for our phones. What a success story we were. Our university's alumni brochure would be offering us a double page spread in next years issue at this rate.
We found ourselves a really cool, artsy house share in the 'hipster' part of town. We shared with some chain-smoking French students and a British guy who was lovely but, worryingly, even more clueless than us. The place had a great atmosphere and we felt like we had landed on our feet, minus the temperamental shower.
It was day two in the apartment and our beaming, sunny positivity started to turn cloudy, nothing to do with the literal clouds than hovered in the hallways thanks to the French. We had both been sent through school contracts to sign and frankly the wages weren't quite adding up for us. We calculated we'd have to teach a solid 40-hour week just to cover rent. Visions of sipping Chilean wine in sun drenched vineyards were fast slipping away.
Earlier that morning we had paid our German landlord the deposit, the first months rent he was expecting the following day. Then we'd be locked in and committed – a backpackers worst nightmare! This called for an emergency meeting, so we headed straight to our nearest bar.
The numbers didn't look good, in fact, they looked near impossible. No matter how many times we tried working it out it was pretty grim.
Low salary + high expenses = zero travel.
I may have needed a maths tutor as a kid, but even I could work out we were screwed.
"But we're in South America", we said to each other.
This had been a dream of ours since we had started travelling together back in University. We were so close to too many incredible places.
"We have to pay our landlord another chunk of cash tomorrow morning"
I would like to start by saying on record, I know our moral slate isn't completely clean on this occasion – but hear me out and judge me later. Sipping on a tequila beer, (a round of slammers was definitely more appropriate) we constructed a plan that Bond himself would be proud of. Actually, he'd probably cringe at our cowardly behaviour, but it's the nearest we were ever getting to a 007-status. We returned to the apartment, riddled with our guilty, tequila-soaked mission.
4:30am and our alarm clocks rang.
I crept out of bed, standing on every creaky floorboard in my room, cracked open the door and saw my friend doing the same opposite. Thumbs up, mission away. I packed my remaining belongings into my bag and heaved the heavy-load onto my back. I waited in the living room anxiously for my friend to finish packing, paranoid one of the housemates would wake and discover their runaway roomies. My friend was ready and we made the descent down the painfully creaky staircase. Every 'crack', from every step sounded like a snapped branch from an old tree.
"Please don't be heard"
The rickety front door in need of a healthy nudge was the final obstacle we overcame. We were out! Ten steps later and we lost all our 007-coolness. We were so paranoid our landlord was going to leap around the street corner, that we jumped in the first taxi we saw and sped off for Santiago Bus Station. Two fugitives on the run. Bonnie and Clyde meets nervous backpackers. We bought two one-way bus tickets to Puerto Montt, 8 hours south of Santiago. Sitting on the bus we sent some very grovely messages to our ex-housemates and Landlord before cutting our SIM cards in half. We'd both seen enough Prison Break to know that's how the FBI catch all the criminals.
And just like that our teaching plan turned into 6 incredible weeks travelling Chile and Peru. Am I condoning running away from our Landlord and housing contract? Absolutely not. Are there mugshots of myself plastered over Chile's Most Wanted list? Part of me secretly hopes so.

[Please always proof columns if you use them]
Why They Fear the Ninth Amendment
Tibor R. Machan
Quite interestingly many politicians are afraid of the Ninth Amendment of
the US Constitution. Many of their intellectual cheerleaders in the
academy and media show equal disdain for this portion of that legal
document. Why?
The Ninth Amendment states, unambiguously, that there exist individual
rights Americans have that are not explicitly listed in the Constitution:
?The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.?
Why should the Constitution make this point anyway?
Because, actually,
people have innumerable rights and to list them all is impossible, whereas
listing the powers of government, which in the American system are taken
to be limited, restricted to just a few, can be listed without having to
produce a mammoth document.
I mean, just consider: You have the right to brush your teeth, to smile
at your significant other, to whistle your favorite tune, to worship the
devil, and on and on and on?everyone has these rights as free adult men
and women. That is what a free country is about, having virtually
unlimited rights to do what one wants, barring the right to violate other
people?s rights.
The powers of government in such a free country, in
sharp contrast, are
confined to what it takes to protect these innumerable individual
rights?to keep criminals and foreign aggressors at bay.
This may not have been spelled out in the US Constitution?although it was
made very clear in the Declaration of Independence?but the idea is exactly
what has been identified so closely with American political philosophy and
legal theory. It?s about individual rights?the freedom to do as one will,
provided that one is acting peacefully, non-aggressively.
So why then are all these sophisticated people, such as Professor Robert
George of Princeton University?writing in the Sunday, September 18, 2005,
issue of The New York Times?so eager to evade the Ninth Amendment? Why,
curiously, are Left leaning politicians the only ones bringing it up these
days, even though they actually disagree with the individualist philosophy
behind the Ninth other then in some very special cases?
On this last matter, just consider. People like Joseph Biden and Teddy
Kennedy make a lot of a right to privacy with reference to issues such as
abortion and gay marriages, but is this really consistent with their big
government philosophy? If a woman has the right to seek and obtain an
abortion (from someone willing to provide one), why is she not free so
seek and obtain marijuana or even harder drugs or hire anyone she wants in
her business? Why are we free to join in same sex unions and have them
declared marriages but not, in say, be free to discriminate against people
we do not want to hire to work for us? That, too, would be a choice that
someone with the right to privacy ought to enjoy, after all.
The limited scope of the right to privacy the Left embraces is indicative
that most of the Left is no different from most of the Right?such as
Justice Antonin Scalia and Robert Bork?who dislike the Ninth Amendment.
They all fear that taking the Ninth Amendment seriously would communicate
to the American people a simple but undeniable fact: The American Founders
had pretty much meant to treat them as free adult men and women, not wards
of the Nanny State. And if this is so, what role do these politicians all
have in our lives? Not a very important one, apart from perhaps standing
firm in defense of our liberties, to protect our innumerable individual
rights to do with our lives as we but not they choose.
The Right doesn?t want politicians to be forbidden
from banning assisted
suicides and gay marriages; the Left doesn?t want politicians to be
forbidden from banning the freedom of contract between employer and
employee if it doesn?t meet the requirement they want to place on
employment (for example, a minimum wage). You can just examined the
thousands of pieces of legislation passed by federal, state, county all
the way to municipal politicians to see that I am right. If the Ninth
Amendment were acknowledged as part of the federal constitution, along
with the idea that this constitution has a very broad reach indeed since
it is supposedly the law of the land, all these laws would have to be
considered unconstitutional. All these politicians would have to be
considered acting in violation of the basic laws of the land.
In short, taking the Ninth Amendment to the US
Constitution really
seriously implies that politicians would have no just powers to do 99% of
what they are doing. That is why they and their cheerleaders in the
academic world insist on ignoring and belittling this most freedom loving
provisions of the most freedom loving?though by no means infallible--legal
document in human history.

Q: what would you do if you found out your current bf of 15 months sent a dirty email to his xgf only to send it to her husbands account instead. Her husband forwarded me the email. My bf wrote"I miss being with you.You were so hot you dripped on my cock.I hope you and your family is fine and i hope you and your husband is good." Her husband forwarded me the email and said tell your cheating bf to stop emailing about my wife.He's nothing but a cheater and a liar. What would you do?I end up copying the email and through it in his face.I think he thought he would never get caught.I guess it backfired on him.Would most women dump him eveen though they didn't hook up and have sex or would they give him another chance? I think he had good intentions on cheating on me and she din't want nothing to do with him and decided to let me know what he was up to.Please help.Thanks.
A: omg what a predictament, yes you are right in what you thought his intentions were. He obviously still thinks about her. Did he mistakenely sent it to her hubbys acc? im presuming this is the case.
Cheating can take many forms sweetee, it doesnt need to involve any physical contact. The mere fact is that INTENTION was there. However, when someone cheats, it is usually the CONSEQUENCE of some deeper seated problems. Is everything going ok in your relationship? I dont say this to lay blame, rather to make you aware of what could be the cause. Maybe he is feeling bored, unhappy about some recent event, or just plain devious. and all this is NOT meant to be directed at you, its his actions. We must remember we are all responsible for our thoughts and actions, and not those of others, we cant start laying blame with our partner, like for example, oh you werent there when i needed you or you dont understand me, even if these reasons might seem to others as feasable, they arent. Its what the individual is feeling, not their partner, whatever the excuse.
Now on what to do, has this behaviour been repeated ever? I mean have you ever caught him out before lying? Have you forgiven him and has it happened again? If you have, maybe you should base this on your decision for this current situation. I will tell you a brief story of what i went thru with my ex, who admitted to me BEFORE I actually caught him that he had been indulging in phone sex regulary. The only reason he confessed was that the phone bill had arrived and i would be seeing it too.
He apologised and i forgave him, and he promised he wouldnt be doing it again, as he was only curious to see what it was like, even thou the bill said he amassed 23 sex calls. I believed him and forgave him. A few days later while out on my own and he alone at home, instinct just told me "i bet he is on the phone again", so i decided to creep into the house and find out, and sure enough, when i burst open the bedroom door, there he was with the phone in his ear wanking. OMG, just that scene playing vividly in my head as i busted him and hearing his words he was sorry and that he wont ever do that again, began a whirlpool in my head, and it really made me so angry and confused. I mean it wasnt so much the act of making the call, but his lies and sneakiness. I never forgave him after that, and came to the conclusion that he will always be lying, and i couldnt take it if that was the case.
If you feel you love him and he deserves a 2nd chance, you need to sit down with him and have a long heart to heart. Tell him to start off and be open, just spill it, let him talk, dont cut in, wait till he has said what he wants to say, but be prepared for tears and maybe things to be revealed that you had no clue over. But do not be too quick to judge, separate yourself from it, remember, this is him speaking, its what HE is feeling, even if he drags you into it, its him, not you. Then, after all has been revealed, come up with a plan that works for both of you. Compromise, make follow up talks periodically to see how things are progressing, and follow thru.
If on the other hand, you feel you just cant trust him and you need a break, by all means take it. Take time out for yourself to think, regroup, prioritise and get in touch with yourself. Do not be too hard on yourself. Do not blame yourself and be thinking its you. We all do things in life because we want to do them, not because others tell us to. So, think of it this way. Your bf has issues. It was his decision to do what he did. So maybe a nice break will help clarify the situation and help both of you to see what you really feel and want. Maybe at the end of the break, you both feel its time to move on or maybe you will realise just how important your relationship is and want to stay together. I hope this all makes sense? I wish you all the best. Please dont be afraid to let me know how things are progressing. Thanks. :)

ta da! instead of using just ribbon on your paper… wrap it up with twine! (i'm practicing for the lovely package exchange!{which if full already, in case you were wondering})
to do this, i just tied my white ribbon on first. then taped an end of my twine to the bottom of the package, under the ribbon then wrapped and wrapped and wrapped (in no particular fashion) and wrapped and wrapped around the package. when i was satisfied i taped my other end of twine again to the bottom of the package under the ribbon.
i left two tails on my white ribbon to tie a bow. since they were wrapped up under the twine, I pulled them out, tied a bow and cut a dovetail in the ends! that's it. a beautiful and unique package… i think.
and i know i mentioned this before, but don't you love this paper!? pasily and polka dots… you seriously can't go wrong. i found it at the local dollar store. one buck a roll people. not only is it a good (you can't see through it) quality paper with attractive designs it doesn't have tape on it to hold the roll together once you remove the wrapping. don't you hate when you have to peel that super sticky tape off and end up riping your paper! agh. so annoy. not with this stuff.
i'll be stocking up on these papers. for sure. unless you beat me to it.

I'm totally in love with this project! I bought this plain wooden "house" at the 2€ store a couple months ago, and as Christmas approached I realised it would be a perfect little project for the mantel. I used different BasicGrey papers from the Dasher, Fruitcake and Figgy Pudding lines, some AC Holiday house embellies, BG chipboard (happy holidays), Prima flowers and glitter star, Crafty Secrets Vintage Christmas stickers, other random bits and pieces from my stash and loads of glitter! The snow on the roof is batting, and the smoke from the chimney is a chipboard swirl. You can see more views of the house in my Two Peas Gallery
And here is a not so Christmasy tree!
When I saw I didn't have enough buttons to finish the tree, I added the tulle trim at the bottom; and after topping it with the tulle bow, I realised it looks more suitable as a centrepiece for a wedding! This tree is based on the ones made by Tia Bennet which was posted a year ago in the Creating Garden on Two Peas.

One of my favorite show's on television today is the new TNT series called Perception. Starring Eric McCormack, from Will and Grace, who place Dr. Daniel Pierce, a neurology professor who also suffers from all sorts of neurotic afflictions. Well the end of the 3rd episode Dr Pierce is in the class room and he tell his students this: "All we really have is the present moment. If I were you I would truly savor the here and now. That precious irreplaceable right then, this second. That is never to be repeated again in the whole of history. The quiet moment the beautiful peaceful night with family and friends so close and nearby, with the moonlight streaming down through the cloud spotted night. Savor this! While you can, because once this moment is gone it is lost forever to never to be seen or experienced again." How many times have we let life's little moments pass us by? How many perfect opportunities have we let slip past us without recognizing them? I realized yesterday what it means to seize the day, live in the moment. It was yesterday that I realized that I had a secret desire that was locked inside of me. Wrapped in my own personal insecurities and fear of rejection, hidden by walls of logic twelve years old. These walls were built to keep everyone and everything from touching my heart.
I lacked the courage to reach inside of myself and free my heart. To say enough is enough, to follow my inner voice to reach out and dare to love, or let someone love me. Yet, God saw my plight and sent people to enter back into my life to show me that no matter what my fears, anxieties and insecurities that are within me, that someone has been there patiently waiting for me to let them back in. Hit me with a club or knock me over with a feather, because low and behold he had been there, right there for the past two years. Neither of us realizing what the other meant until one day we found ourselves so far away from each other. The phone calls and emails, the laughter and all the pain painted a story I was too blind to see. I couldn't see the moments that were too precious and few that had passed on by. How important it is to savor every second because we only have the here and now! We aren't promised a tomorrow, and the past is already gone. You can't change what you have done or where you have been. But, you sure can take steps to correct the mistakes of the past, so they don't occur again in the future. We must learn from the past, not cling to it. Because as was pointed out to me you cannot move forward if you are constantly looking backward, and you can't build anything meaningful if you cling to the baggage of your old life. Let them go, surrender to the now and move forward.
Remember that men are not wise in the subtle nuances and ways of romance. It takes us a while to grasp the concept that someone is truly attracted to us. We miss the hints that are thrown our way. But please don't give up on us, if we don't get it at first. I beg of you to be brutal and painfully obvious, bludgeon us over the head, because trust me it maybe the only way to make us get it. Remember how precious life is and how easy it is to wrap yourself up in your own little world. Our time upon the earth is short, care about someone, take the chance and tell them. If you wait too long it might just be too late. Take the stance that you must work hard for what you want. That makes getting it, all the more precious. Keeping always in mind that nothing worthwhile is ever easy. I am fond of saying "if it isn't hard, it isn't good nor is it appreciated."
Seize the moment, fight back your fears, bolster your courage and let them know how you feel. Don't be like me and my partner, don't take the other for granted and only realize how much you mean to one another when you both almost died. Even then, when this terrible event happened, I had to be bullied by my best friend to be honest with myself and my partner and say something. Because I clung to my walls and hid behind my fear and insecurities until I was shown by persistence and patience not to mention a perseverance I have never known before, that this person showed by calling me and telling me about his upcoming singing gigs, then the exciting news about a recording scout's approach of him when he was visiting Miami, then about his surgeries and his insistent drive and desire to include me in every aspect of his life. I was too blind to understand how much he honestly cared. Then it was put directly too me, right in my face via a text message that said "Okay well in some way we need to be together, let's enjoy our time...It doesn't last long for either of us, so enjoy the moments we have together." That's when it dawned on me that he felt the same way about me that I did about him. We weren't high or drunk were were just talking back and forth via text and it just came out. Then when I told my best friend about it. He told me to stop hiding my feelings and truly let them out, it had been too long since i shared my whole heart with someone. Here was the moment and the person I wanted to share it with and what was I going to do? Was I going to let it go and just let him walk away from me again like I did last summer? Or the time before that?
"Carpe Diem" - Seize the day are definitely words to live by! Because as I am so found of also saying "Stop to take the time to smell the roses, stop take a look at the majesty and beauty that surrounds you! For time passes quickly, beauty fades and before we realize it, we have missed all those precious moments that life has given to us." Remember to savor the here and now, because all we really have is the present moment. This precious and irreplaceable right now, that will never ever be repeated again in the whole of history. Don't wrap yourself so tightly into your own little world because the precious few perfect moments that life presents us with are fleeting, and if you aren't focused and paying attention they will pass you by.
Yet take heart my friends as with all things there is more than one choice here. For life is truly complicated and a perfect moment may never present itself, so then dear friend it is up too you to take the opportunity and create your own moment. Because as I pointed out above, take heed of the here and now, make the most of it. Savor it and flavor it in your own special way and seize it make it yours and do what must be done! Remember to love and live because life is like a feast and most poor souls are starving to death. Heed my words of advice, seek the truth that hides with in, seize the moment let your feeling show, because you never know you might find love and happiness like me. How close I was to almost missing it, to letting it slip away yet once again. Thank God for putting my partner here, and making him such and important part of my life, and thank you Lord for revealing to me when I was so sick that he was the only one that offered to drop everything in his life and come to be with me. Just because I wanted him. Plus, he felt that I needed him and as long as I did he was going to be there for me. He was the only one out of all my friends that said that too me. Second, it has been through his support and that of others that have continually encouraged me to write and keep doing what I love. Thank you God for just putting him in my life and granting him the patience to deal with my slow almost retarded view of relationships and love.
Life is too short to face it all alone my friends. Take a chance open your heart to love. Promise me you will give it another try. You can do it! Like Kerri Hilson sang "Sometimes when love comes around it knocks you down. Just get back up when it knocks you down."
As always my hopes and dreams are with you,
Uncle B

but I do not usually join them.
Tonight they were watching the 2008 Hulk.
I wanted to watch the first where Bruce is in Brazil
living in the
"FAVELAS" (houses stacked and stacked and stacked).
My son Shaun lived and proselyted in the Favelas in Brazil
during part of his LDS mission.
They are so amazing and awful at the same time!
I cannot believe I let my kid live there!
The crime rate is off the charts too!
No police really just vigilantes.
Shaun saw someone murdered even.
The movie really gives you
an up close look at the living conditions.
Anyway....I sat through the whole movie.
It was actually pretty good.
I like Liv Tyler too.
She plays the Hulks girlfriend.
Not too bad!

Hey Everyone!
Today I wanted to share with you the Hello Kitty Petite Fours I received from the Hello Kitty Cafe Food Truck recently in Sacramento, CA. I've had a few people ask me on Instagram what flavors these petite fours are. So, I thought I'd go into a detail on what they're actually made out of, their flavors and… if they're actually good!
The Hello Kitty Cafe Petite Fours come in a pack of four and the cost is $15.00 USD. The cakes themselves are pretty adorable and covered in white chocolate. I heard people at the event suggesting they were covered in fondant, but it's not fondant. Just like with the other Hello Kitty Cafe confections, there was no nutritional information or ingredients listed on the package, which in my opinion is very important for health and safety reasons.
Hello Kitty Petite Four Flavors:
Hello Kitty Red: Strawberry
Hello Kitty Blue: Vanilla
3 Apples: Lemon
Blue with Bow: Raspberry
The cakes themselves tasted okay. I'd say my favorite was the raspberry despite raspberry not being my favorite flavor, if that makes sense. The cakes were very moist but a little dense and undercooked tasting, almost like a bad cake pop. However, the white chocolate coating and overall aesthetic were very pleasing and the experience of tasting each one with my children was memorable, and that's what's most important to me!
Stay tuned for more Hello Kitty Cafe food reviews and if you missed the Hello Kitty Cafe Macaron post, please check that out too! Have you ever visited a Hello Kitty cafe? If so, what was your experience like and if not, would you want to?

The best of internet design involves Pittsburgh for an motion-packed convention plus workshops!
Web design must be finished only beneath the skilled fingers as it is a very decisive move in your complete web based mostly business objective. All the time hold yourself open to options, search the potential web designers in your town and evaluate their rates and quality of works already been produced. Having a correct net design in place is just like setting the pillars of your online business. Interactivity is one other key point that needs to be thought-about while zeroing in on any particular net design platform. Guantee that website attraction is greatest ensured with correct use of graphics and related key ingredients. Reasonably priced website design isn't just about offering you the low charges, it's also about giving you high quality packages that you may fully depend on whereas taking part in highly aggressive online market.
This makes it possible to compare the language of the content in a page with language declarations, and challenge warnings if the langattribute does not match the language of content material, if no langattribute is given in any respect, or if a language utilizing a right-to-left script is detected but a dirattribute is missing from the htmltag.
A website designed by professionals will guarantee that it is extra future proof. You're going to get an internet site that's reliable and also you don't have to be fearful about any errors. Specialists will look into it and clear up if any points arise. Final but not the least, your website could have higher designs, nicely defined icons and simple navigation.
Bear in mind, a very good variety of clients can be on the lookout for your corporation on the internet. Even in case you have a brick and mortar retailer, they would favor to first undergo your website to know more about your products or services. Even if you have a strong presence on social media, web visitors would want to see a web site. It provides a whole lot of credibility to the enterprise.
In case your raster designs are blurry attempt uploading recordsdata on the correct decision. Designs needs to be at the very least 150dpi, no printer can magically make up for an absence of pixels within the original image, It's not spreadshirts fault you do not know something about printing. I'm sick and bored with people like you blaming others for their own refusal to learn new issues then getting indignant because the world is not rearranged around their inabilities.
The Formatting Output Specification Occasion or FOSI was first used as a mode sheet language used for SGML then it was eventually utilized in XML. FOSI was developed by the US Division of Defense to regulate the pagination and structure of SGML and XML technical information. In accordance with many Net design Philippines consultants, FOSI stylesheets are themselves written in SGML. It was an method which was later adopted by XSL, a style sheet language that competes with CSS in as we speak's trade.

Assuerio Silva Scratched From Rumored UFC 67 Card
Although he's been a longtime rumored part up the upcoming UFC 68 event, UFC-winless heavyweight (12-5 MMA, 0-2 UFC) Assuerio Silva will not fight at the March 3 Columbus event.
Silva, who lost to Tim Sylvia at UFC Fight Night 3 (unanimous decision) and to Brandon Vera at UFC 60 (via guillotine choke), had been expected to be on the night's undercard, though a possible opponent was never mentioned. However, according to a UFCjunkie.com source close to the event, Silva has been bumped from the card. It was not immediately known whether or not an injury played a part in the decision.
Silva's dismissal could explain today's news that lightweight submission specialist Jamie Varner (11-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) had been added to the rumored UFC 68 card. That would have given the rumored card 10 fights instead of the usual nine. But with Silva out of the picture, the card now looks set (aside from Varner's potential opponent, which is still an unknown).

I'm impulsive. Seriously impulsive. About stupid things. Example?
Tonight I'm sitting on my couch watching TV and looking at reviews for Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred video and all the sudden, I have to get it. I mean. What. Is. The. Deal? It's my day off from the gym. I just did spinning and speed interval running yesterday and I still convinced myself to brave the -15 (windchill) weather, drive to Wtown (30 minutes away) to get a stupid workout DVD.
Seriously Kate.
The verdict?
I will be sore tomorrow. However, happily, level 1 was not terribly difficult - unless you consider being a complete upper body wuss like I am. Most of the workout was fine, but man, my arms are weak! So, my resolution is to do this 30 day Shred. I probably won't do it IN 30 days exactly, because I'm out of town at my bf's house on weekends, and that's a little unrealistic since vball practice and my graduate course starts soon, but I will do it. Trust me?
Another Texas picture for the road...

'Everything was great and I can see the happiness in the eyes of our employees since they are excited to learn English'
Majdi's invitation has resulted in great pride for the ACTS team, as last week our first course was completed. Teachers Assem and Amal awarded certificates to their seven happy students, who, after eight weeks of hard work, can't wait to move on to the next level when courses restart in January. ACTS holds a special place in the Language Bridges story, being the pioneers in launching the program delivered by CMU teachers. They've been really great: hospitable and supportive, and we're looking forward to building our partnership.

The Leopard's Tale
The Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük was first discovered in the late 1950s and excavated by James Mellaart between 1961 and 1965. The site rapidly became famous internationally due to the large size and dense occupation of the settlement, as well as the spectacular wall paintings and other art that was uncovered inside the houses.
Since 1993 an international team of archaeologists, led by Ian Hodder, has been carrying out new excavations and research, in order to shed more light on the people that inhabited the site.
This is a brilliantly argued, first-hand account of the author's major discoveries at the renowned archaeological site Catalhoyuk, described by Professor Colin Renfrew as 'one of the most ambitious excavation projects currently in progress'. This tour de force of archaeological writing offers many insights into past lives and momentous events, and is superbly illustrated with images of the art, the artifacts and the excavations at this world-famous dig.
It will be a must-read for archaeologists and historians everywhere.
To order: http://www.pasthorizons.com/book.asp – you will find it in the archaeology section of The Bookshop

Kristen and I are now in Krasnoyask, a city that is about halfway on our journey from Beijing to Moscow. We arrived at four in the morning and had a terrible time finding a hotel but now we're rested and about to go and see some 'stolbys', which are rock pillars. Yesterday we went on board the SV Nikolay, the boat that took Lenin down the Yenisey river when he was sent into exile in Siberia and which is now an excellent museum.
During the long train journeys I have started reading 'War and Peace' by Tolstoy which may turn out to be the greatest endurance test of my journey. I'm reading it on my iPhone. I've never read a whole book electronically before, preferring the paper variety, so this a major test of the new format. My electronic copy runs to 5119 pages, though at least the pages are smaller than paper ones. So far a Pavlova woman has been moaning about Napoleon, had a sympathetic moan with a prince about his two hopeless sons, and is now holding a party trying to matchmake one of those sons. Not sure if I can manage another five thousand pages of this stuff. Might also switch to paper if the electronic format starts bugging me.
We've also heard about the major earthquake that occurred in Christchurch and hope everyone is coping okay. It sounds as though just about every house has lost its chimney, so maybe this will turn about to be the catalyst for improving the city's smog problem.

Much appreciated
Kendall...I JUST figured it out with this post. (I'm a loser), but I appreciate the support.
Heather was sweet as ever, and being reminded that I haven't had to shovel or even scrape a car window in two years helped deal with the heat.
And Amanda was hilarious. A mix of friendly advice, encouragement, and a tiny splash of motherly guilt. Classic!
Tomorrow is a new day, and I am ready to run (if I keep saying it, eventually I will believe it).

You have to get beyond that wall. When I'm out of shape and start running the entire time I'm thinking "I want to stop I want to stop I want to stop"...but if you push yourself beyond that wall and force the run you will get more and more used to it. Pretty soon you will gain some endurance and it won't be so bad. You can do it...now excuse me while I go pound a bag of cheetos.
