Good news for the Dow.

In other news, I'm writing a paper for one of my classes (International Relations) on Iran and U.S. policy. It is turning out to be very depressing when you get down to the history of Iran and the direction it's currently heading...

3. If it was a vacuum, you had to remove parts, not assemble.

OPERATION VALKYRIE

First off I haven’t been paying any attention to the talk surrounding this movie. I’m a history buff not a big Tom Cruise fan. So when I decided to go check out Valkyrie today it was to be entertained. And entertained I was. Me and Fireboat John caught the latest from Cruise (Wyatt couldn’t get away) at a matinée. The theater was crowded so the buzz behind the film must be pretty good.

Cruise is compelling as Colonel Stauffenberg. The movie was riveting even though you know the outcome going in. I was on the edge of my seat a few times. I’m pretty sure the audience liked it. When it was over we were joking around and I made a crack about “everyone in this theater is now under arrest” it was met with laughter, but NERVOUS laughter.

re: #26 NelsFree

It went back and forth. They were very early on, and then not until around 1501 did they regain some hegemony in the region. They were essentially monarchical from 1501 right up to the revolution in 1979. But given the region, they probably had the farthest reach at some crucial points in history.

Good evening, lizards.

*blink*blink*

Just had to take a nap after all the chores I finished today and here I am.

Sharm assembled a vacuum? Good onya toots. I have to do something about my old Kenmore as everytime I use it the beater head falls off and I have to jam it back into the stick. Grrr.

Makes for frustrating vacuuming I tells ya and using it on three levels I just want to scream when it falls apart.

38 ArmyWife  Fri, Jan 2, 2009 3:47:13pm

re: #24 summergurl

This is phase one of the total kitchen makeover, so I got Kenmore (they were rated the best in consumer reports). I have a professional stove already, however, phase 2 of the project will be a 6 burner professional stove (mine is 4) with both a gas and electric oven along with a subzero fridge.

be funny if the market stayed up until and beyond Bush's last day in office so that 0bama can't claim that "HE" fixed the mess

that it was fixing itself before Bush left

of course, the media and democrats won't let that happen

Sad, but the MSM really think like this.

They think of the story they want to write, and then call the dial-a-quote source to get the answer they want.

Have the the Persians always been hegemonic?

That depends on the era. They conquered India from time to time, but were also invaded and conquered by the Mongols, Tamurlane, and the Seljuks. They fought the Ottoman Turks, mostly to a draw. But they still have a national chip on their shoulder over the Arab conquest.

What is going on now is really an effect of the mullah regime's internal ideology.

52 ArmyWife  Fri, Jan 2, 2009 3:49:30pm

You are right. They are going to be really sad, aren't they? Or they will just continue to write about how great it us while it crumbles around us (Clinton, anyone?)

# A guy who is very fastidious takes his cat to the vet. He is sure the cat is ill, but the symptoms are very vague and uncertain. The vet has seen these cases before. He puts the cat on a table and examimes it from every angle. He lays the cat down and looks it over, again from every angle. Then he takes out a syringe and gives the cat an injection. He tells the man the cat will be fine now, and he can take it home.

At the front desk the clerk says "that will be $315."
"What? That must be SOME medicine!"
"Oh, no," says the clerk, "the medicine was only $15; the $300 was for the cat scan."

One thing led to another with us, granite, appliances, backsplash, lighting, painting, cabinet refinishing, the only thing we didn't replace is the flooring. Got a great Kohler black cast iron sink with a low-divide , and added a pot-filler behind the stove. We had a gas stove because that was a "got to have" when we bought the house - I like to cook and man, a gas stove is the best.

re: #54 LEGION

Good question!

And yes. Iran's strong belief in Twelver Shi'a Islam with Ahmadinejad thinking that he needs to bring about chaos in order to bring the Mahdi back scares me. Essentially, they believe that the Twelfth Imam will return when the world falls into chaos. Ahmadinejad believes that it will happen during his reign. He's built a grand avenue into Tehran to welcome this individual (Who was born in 869 mind you!). And there is a belief in Iran that man can hasten it through an increase in chaos.

Now that's a bit scary.

The thing no one is talking about today: Putin takes first step towards invasion of the Ukraine by setting natural gas trap

In a nutshell, what Putin did to Georgia earlier this year was a test run for what he’s going to do to Ukraine very soon — because he knows Obama will not be able to stop him (as a part of Obama starts thinking of peaches, Jimmy Carter, NeNe, and the Marquette Lounge whenever he gets “Georgia” on his mind). Obama’s vascillation and tepid ultimate response to the Russian invasion of Georgia earlier this year is the greenlight Putin was waiting for. Dear Leader’s kumbaya call for both sides to calm down and talk about the feelings that led to the conflict amounted to basically asking Russia and Georgia to put down the guns and hug it out (”Now, let’s draw a picture of how you want this situation resolved, and let’s use only our happiest crayons”).


Bwahahahahahahahaha.

Sorry. What I meant to say was, of course, tsk tsk and a tut or two also.

Good news for the Dow.

Well, it's remarkable. The McClellan Summation Index says that, as of Monday, the market will be pretty much neutral, with maybe a little upwards momentum. Just, remarkable. But one of these days, people are gonna wake up and see the $3,000,000,000,000 or so that has been dumped into the economy to keep it from "collapse", and that in itself should cause another panic. Though just which way it cuts, is another question, I can make an argument for it hitting the Dow up or down, by thousands of points, partially depending on what happens with interest rates. Crazy times, nor are we out of them.

And that doesn't even include what happens if they start poppin' caps majorly in, oh, the Straits of Hormuz, etc.

*Touch the G4's outer metal frame before touching the card or anything else inside the computer. That way your body should have the same electrical charge as the computer.

Try swapping cards between your two machines, as a last ditch - Mr. DT. Make sure to ground yourself so that you don't destroy the card with static electricity.

Meaning have it powered down and wear a ground clip before swapping. Modern electronics are extremely low voltage, and a static surge can weaken/destroy components-even if you don't feel the surge/shock. A ground clip has a 1 megohm resistor in it, so you bleed the charge off-but hopefully can't get electrocuted.

Are you both using the same protocol, I:E 11.2g, ect. Is your network set to allow only known MAC addresses to connect. Last but not least, are using encryption (WEP/WAP)?

I ask the last because I had a "client" computer using a Linksys Wireless-G (model # WMP54G) connecting to my system through a Linksys (Model # WAP54G) Access Point. When encryption was enabled, the system wouldn't connect even though the password/pass phrase was correct. Once I disabled encryption and went to a MAC address allow/disallow setup, everything worked. Weird.

re: #15 Captain Amercia

OPERATION VALKYRIE

First off I haven’t been paying any attention to the talk surrounding this movie. I’m a history buff not a big Tom Cruise fan. So when I decided to go check out Valkyrie today it was to be entertained. And entertained I was. Me and Fireboat John caught the latest from Cruise (Wyatt couldn’t get away) at a matinée. The theater was crowded so the buzz behind the film must be pretty good.

Cruise is compelling as Colonel Stauffenberg. The movie was riveting even though you know the outcome going in. I was on the edge of my seat a few times. I’m pretty sure the audience liked it. When it was over we were joking around and I made a crack about “everyone in this theater is now under arrest” it was met with laughter, but NERVOUS laughter.

Read the Rest: FIRST IN

Great review. My cousin and I have both thought about the question you posed. Truth to tell, neither of us could see how we would have done what Stauffenberg did. Given my own knowledge of my personality, had I been lived in Germany at that time, I would have almost certainly been a committed Nazi. I don't say that to offend, but rather to note how I would have reacted given the circumstances and what i would have known at the time.

There but for the grace of God...

If I manage to come up with some work, fine. If they catch up with me, it's their nickel, ship me home.

Otherwise, all I need is a few memory sticks, and I got my whole career (writing and/or programming) in my pocket.

Truer words were never spoken. We have a plutocracy at the top running things and the politicians themselves are running a kleptocracy.

Yup and when Obama gets in, the enlightened ones will run our lives from their ivory towers while we slave away and pay for their houses on the black sea long island. We truly are slipping towards communism.

I'm a fairly long time lurker and sometimes commenter here. I read earlier this week that you had been to the VA for treatment of your problem.

I hope that you are getting better and would like to know about the service that you are receiving in your part of the world from the VA.

Every one that knows me know what I will do next. And it's similar to your suggestion. I will take the last 3-4 thousand in my bank account (that's all I own to my name at any given time) and I will buy a one way ticket to Europe and get lost there for a while.

If I manage to come up with some work, fine. If they catch up with me, it's their nickel, ship me home.

Otherwise, all I need is a few memory sticks, and I got my whole career (writing and/or programming) in my pocket.

I'm very much of a loner when I need to be. The last 30 years, I've had a lot of domestication, but I can become a "Dean Moriarity" in a moments notice.

well I'd hate to see you flee...we'll need all the voices of reason we can muster...but it's a good plan...if it ever gets close tho grab your money before you need it...jus sayin...and we'll be here when you get back

Get off it, this is not just the democrats. Maybe you missed the tons of money that the current administration has been pissing out of DC like it was water?

Do I think the Democrats are the only problem? No, of course not. Enough "Compassionate Conservatives" in Congress and one in the White House approved of the last bailout to pass it. And I'm sure enough will approve of bailing out the states to get this trillion dollar package through. But from the article you quoted-

The governors of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio and Wisconsin -- all Democrats -- said the initiative for the two-year aid package was backed by other governors and follows a meeting in December


That to me makes it sound like the Dems are the ones pushing for this idiotic program.

Unfortunately, I think you are spot on. It's a travesty when even our electoral process is compromised. I always found it odd that when Republicans won, there were fraud allegations. When dems win big, everything is kosher. Blows me away but there will come a breaking point and when it comes, the dems will lose power so fast they won't even feel the door hitting them in the ass on the way out.

The day after the November election, Republican Sen. Norm Coleman had won his re-election to the U.S. Senate, beating challenger Al Franken by 725 votes.

Then one heavily Democratic town miraculously discovered 100 missing ballots. And, in another marvel, they were all for Al Franken! It was like a completely evil version of a Christmas miracle.

As strange as it was that all 100 post-election, "discovered" ballots would be for one candidate, it was even stranger that the official time stamp for the miracle ballots printed out by the voting machine on the miracle ballots showed that the votes had been cast on Nov. 2 -- two days before the election.

Democratic election officials in the miracle-ballot county simply announced that their voting machine must have been broken. Don't worry about it -- they were sure those 100 votes for Franken were legit.

Then another 400-odd statistically improbable "corrections" were made in other Democratic strongholds until -- by the end of election week -- Coleman's lead had been whittled down to a mere 215 votes.

Since then, highly irregular counting methods have added to Franken's total bit by bit, to the point that Coleman is now ahead by only 188 votes.
...
Consider a few other chilling examples of Democrats thieving their way to victory over the years.

In 1974, Republican Louis Wyman won his race for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire, beating Democrat John Durkin by 355 votes. Durkin demanded a recount -- which went back and forth by a handful of votes until the state's Ballot Law Commission concluded that Wyman had indeed won by (at least) two votes.

Wyman was certified the winner by the New Hampshire secretary of state and was on his way to Washington when ... the overwhelmingly Democratic U.S. Senate refused to seat Wyman.

Despite New Hampshire's certification of Wyman as the winner of the election, this was the post-Watergate Senate, when Democrats could get away with anything -- up to and including a prank known as "President Jimmy Carter."

The U.S. Senate spent months examining disputed ballots from the New Hampshire election. Unable to come up with a method to declare the Democrat the winner that didn't require a guillotine, the Senate forced New Hampshire to hold another election.

It was a breathtaking abuse of power. New Hampshire had certified a winner of its Senate election, but it was a Republican, so the Democratic Senate simply ordered a new election.

Demoralized Republicans stayed away from the race and, this time, the Democrat won the re-vote.

Even more egregious was the Indiana House race in 1984. On election night, the incumbent Democrat Frank McCloskey appeared to have won a narrow victory of 72 votes. But after a correction was made in one county, it turned out his Republican opponent, Richard McIntyre, had won by 34 votes.

McIntyre was certified the winner -- which is when the trouble usually starts for a Republican.

Again, a majority Democrat House refused to seat the certified winner in a close election. I'm sure it was just a coincidence that the winner was a Republican.

Consequently, Indiana performed yet another recount of the entire district, which again showed that Republican McIntyre was the winner -- this time by 418 votes. Now he was really asking for it. The nerve of this guy! Hey, buddy, do you mind? We're trying to throw an election over here!

As The Washington Post reported at the time: There were "no allegations of fraud" in the recount and 90 percent of ballot disqualifications had been agreed to "by election commissions dominated by Democrats."

So naturally the House refused to seat the Republican even though he had received the most votes (hereinafter referred to as "the winner"). The House proceeded to conduct its own recount. (If you haven't detected a pattern by this point, please ask your doctor if Prilosec is right for you.)

Breastfeeding a six-year-old

It reminds me of the novel Song of Solomon. The mother breastfed a kid that was tall enough that his feet touched the floor when he was in position across his mother's lap to breast feed. I don't remember his age, but a guy looked in the window and saw him, so he got the nickname of Milkman, and it stayed with him his whole life.

I'm reminded of an Islamic Hadith about breastfeeding adult males for a certain reason. Can't recall it all.

Unfortunately, I think you are spot on. It's a travesty when even our electoral process is compromised. I always found it odd that when Republicans won, there were fraud allegations. When dems win big, everything is kosher. Blows me away but there will come a breaking point and when it comes, the dems will lose power so fast they won't even feel the door hitting them in the ass on the way out.

I'm afraid that breaking point won't come unless we see a fundamental change in the media. They have the power to sway and change opinion and if they were true watchdogs the democrats wouldn't get away with this shit. As it stands they are a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party. And for that they need to be brought down with a wrecking ball.

I just didn't see it that way, but I understand what you are saying. I felt bad because I liked him, and I thought we were holding our own in the debate. But, it is Charles' place and blatant simple statements like Dorians' can only be taken one way, and that's not Charles' way.

Relations between Hamas and Egypt were already not flourishing, but now,.. read this - wherein a Hamas representative is speaking out against his own Hamas propaganda in order to hurt Egypt:

Osama Hamdan, Hamas' representative in Lebanon, responded heatedly. "This is very surprising," he said. "We expected sister Egypt to act responsibly towards the occurrences in Palestine, and especially Gaza."

He added, "It's surprising because international law states that the crossings must be open during war and we are at war. Thus all the talk about us being occupied is irrelevant."

Hamdan said Israel had no connection to the crossing whatsoever, as an agreement it had signed with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had expired three years ago. "After that it was to become a Palestinian-Egyptian crossing," he said.

re: #315 LGoPs

Look at my 295. If there's anything worth a revolution it's the outright stealing of elections...

The wascally wepublican GMcChimpyBushitler won the electoral vote in 2004.
I was opposed to (and remain opposed) to changing the rules to "popular vote".
Then the Democrats identified several Republican ethical scandals, (correctly) and began making significant gains on "reform".
Now, the Democrats are being exposed as being at least as corrupt, and it's becoming apparent to the nation that it's been like that for a long time.

From my perspective, it's third party time, but not civil war time.
Replacing the power base from one existing party to the other doesn't seem to have worked, but I don't see "war" as a logical solution, either.

So about 3 weeks later..(oh the gov't cut me a check..they bailed me out)
My buddies had told me they wanted to go out after work but i said no.
So i'm laying in bed naked under a sheet when somebody starts banging on the door.. I'm thinking I told you guys i was going to bed..So i ignored the repeated knocks.. then I hear a key and running in the room was this great big dude and we both just freak out screaming shit..He runs out the room And I start chasing him yelling stop that man.. All i had was a sheet around me and he goes down the stairwell and I was like 10 floors up and i start chasing him yelling how i was going to kick his ass and he's running downstairs as fast as he can yelling you ain't catching me mofo..He runs out the 1st floor..through the lobby and i'm naked in a sheet screaming stop that man!

Travesty doesn't begin to describe the corruption and gaming of the governmental system in America!

Obama (through his team) gamed the first caucuses, then cheated in Texas, then lied and spun his way to the top, as if being in the White House were some sort of Reality Show that could be acquired by any means!

The depth and extent of the DYSFUNCTION is illustrated, in stark black-and-white, in the Franken Debacle ("Hey, I found some MORE absentee ballots!")

At new years party (seniors) - one shared how she slipped out of the shower - just could push the phone off it's perch and she called 911 - only a towel ... The firemen arrived and calmly said to her "don't worry - we've seen everything" - picked her up - loaded her on the gurney, covered her up and away they went.

I'd hope so, but I doubt it. What dorian did was much worse than what Cognito did to get banned. He'd have to recant everything he said and I don't see that happening. He proposed an action that would set a very dangerous precedent. It's a tempting idea, but its not a Bridge to Babylon I'm willing to cross.

Well at some point in time the continual printing of money is going to catch up to us. I also think that if the congress does decide to bail out the MFMSM, there will be a huge uproar. If NBC goes bust, a few thousand folks lose their jobs and it doesn't have huge repercussions. Congress won't be able to use the same excuse they used with the big 3.

Why does Hollywood do that? Why does Hollywood make it an interracial marriage? Why didn’t they have her raising a white stepchild, from her white husband, white like her? Why does it have to be interracial?

because hollywood has drunk the "multicultural" UN kool-aid.

Just copy/paste the URL (NOT the embed) that is on the right hand side of the desired YouTube video into your comment.

Don't make any particular words into a link. Voila, it shows up as clickable in a little box and when you click, the video magically appears in your comment!

(interesting, if you do try and put a video in as a link in addition to the one you want embedded, the embed doesn't work. hmm)

For sheer entertainment value alone it would be worth it! You ever see a dog or cat slide on an old wood floor? Or a kid when coming in from the wet outside? priceless. ;-)>

Funny story in our family. We had hardwood floors in the bedrooms. Mrs Revo rearranged the bedroom furniture one day. Nightly ritual was that I took the dog out the walkout basement door before bedtime, then he would race upstairs, use the edge of the hallway carpet for traction to launch, and land on the bed to claim a good spot. This night Mrs. Revo got into bed and turned off the light. Dog and I came racing up the stairs, down the hall... Hear the usual mighty leap, then claws scrabbling furiously on the hardwood, followed by a THUDDD!. When I got there and turned on the light, there was my 60 lb shepherd mix wadded up under the sewing machine looking at me like only a confused dog can. Mrs Revo and I laughed till we had tears running. Dog never again jumped for the bed if the light was off!

RAW (Graphic): Scene After IDF Attack In Gaza 1/1/09
[Link: www.liveleak.com...]
(WARNING: Very Graphic)
You'll notice the first maasked gunman laying among the civilians at about 0:30. Another one at 1:10, another at 1:52, another one at 1:58, again at 3:15, and 3:49...etc. Also notice that the fighters get first priority while most of the human shields are ignored. If you can make it to the end of the clip you'll see the reason for the airstrike: The mortar launcher in the back of the pickup truck. That's the cost of Hamas using the Palestinians as human shields.

Hi lizards. Have any of you techie types got any ideas for me? My DSL keeps dropping off. I have to turn the computer off, as well as the modem, then can get back on for a little while. It is driving me insane. I have a regular household wired in dsl, am running the latest firefox and Zone Alarm. Would disabling Zone Alarm be a possible solution? Thanks in advance. This has been happening for about four days.

Well Just to get an idea of what is going on.. I would go to the command prompt and type ipconfig /all
then noting the gateway I would type ping -t to the gateway IP.
Then see if you are getting dropped packets...

re: #529 Soona'

All the taxes that I pay on an annual basis (about 50% of my income, when all taxes are included) is actually an abridgement of my freedom to earn money according to my ablility and individual effort and to spend that money as I see fit.


You can earn as much as you can - taxation would not be an abridgment to that -

If there was taxation without representation I could almost see your point. But there is , no matter how corrupt or inept the representation is but that is another issue.

People go to war to be free but something is the catalyst for that need for freedom - I said it is usually money or religion.

"If you commit a foolish act by raiding Gaza, who knows, we may have a second or a third or a fourth Shalit," he said, according to Reuters. Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by Hamas in a cross-border raid more than two years ago.

re: #656 Iron Fist

I think that that will depend on many things. We came closer to Civil War in 1994 than most people realize. There were certain segments of the population that thought it was inevitable, and Clinton did push the envelope. But we voted our Revolution then. Lots of people, myself included, gave hours or days of their time, and dollars of their hard-earned cash to try and accomplish that.

The Republicans really never even acknowledged that. Let alone pay it back with meaningful legislation. They've acted like they were embarrassed by their base ever since. It's no wonder the Right stayed home in 2006. The Republicans had become almost as bad as the Democrats, especially when it came to budgetary policy.

Definitely agreed. I don't think that Civil War is an inevitable thing. It does depend on a lot of factors.

Just double click on the Not responding screens. They will open up. Try it.

What I meant by the Not Responding screen was the dialogue in Windows that says "This program is not responding > End Now > Cancel" that comes up when a program does not respond (to closing with the X button or Alt-F4, for instance.)

I was wondering if he was talking about me and my statements about civil war. Massive inflation, joblessness, and taxes could very likely start something, but as likely as not we all bear it like sheep. If I were to try to actually get something started, I would not use open blog forums. If I start encrypting my blogs, then you might start wondering.

Excellent. By training I'm a map maker (cartography major at U of Illinois back when they still _drew_ maps), built a company that allowed me to make games, ran it for 13 years and sold it to another company so I could keep making them, but without all the headaches.

I'm an Antietam fan myself... working on a definitive game on it right now... hope to have it out late this year.

The folks who make noscript are good about fixing these things, I'll fire off an Email to them about it. Looking at their changelog at the site, they have actually fixed LGF-specific things about their plugin before.

I saw the movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still” today. One of the main characters was a pretty white girl that was raising her black step child from her black husband that was killed in the Middle East.
Why does Hollywood do that? Why does Hollywood make it an interracial marriage? Why didn’t they have her raising a white stepchild, from her white husband, white like her? Why does it have to be interracial?

Why not? What's the big deal? Do you have a problem with people of different shades marrying and reproducing?

Stevieray, thanks for the tip.

You bet. I learned the hard way -- a simple add-on like "extended cookie manager" can really screw with you! I couldn't load any page with google-analytics or js.kits on it -- they would time-out before they loaded. Switched to a different cookie manager, and things have been smooth ever since.

I was there last in 2005 with the Boy Scouts...they loved it. We hired a local guide, but I knew more than he did...we "co-guided" the kids...

I'd suggest going again, then. Plus the new visitor center opened last spring and it is pretty good (reviews panning it regardless).

Also, check out "Lee's Real Plan at Gettysburg" by Troy Harmon. Dumb name, I almost put it down because of that reason alone... but written by a long time park ranger and a real eye opener.

re: #762 Iron Fist

Picking chicks up at the dumpster? Classy!
:-)

I have all sorts of good advice on living after 50.

Let’s face it, the price of everything is going up. I never thought there would be a time that I actually had to make a decision if I was going to purchase a magazine or a days worth of food. But there are still ways to save money. There’s a lot of free stuff available if you look close. Here are some suggestions get you started.

Condiments: Fast food places seem only to glad to leave a veritable feast of condiments at your fingertips. Ketchup, mustard, salad dressings, salt and pepper, mayonnaise, hot sauce, sugar and sweetener, coffee creamer and so much more. Why do you think they give you such a big bag for one lonely burger and fries? Fill it up.

Reading material: Religious groups are happy to pass on all sorts of free magazines, brochures, propaganda (did I say that) and such. You can even find reading material for your children. Jehovah’s Witnesses offer the best deal… they’ll deliver to your door.

Bathroom items: Ever see that stack of toilet paper rolls in public restrooms? Need I say more.

Clothes: Make your rounds of the Laundromats. There is always a pile of clothe items that the owner has found left in the machines. But only take what you need, and it’s not good etiquette to try on the underwear there. Wait until you get home.

Furniture: Visit some large apartment complexes around the end or the beginning of the month. Folks who are moving in or out are always leaving unneeded items around the dumpsters. If you really want to get innovative, scotch tape a “wanted” list to one of the dumpsters.

Odds and Ends: When you go to Goodwill (you do shop at Goodwill, don't you), do some creative designing. Put that candle holder you want into that wicket basket you want and clip those earrings you want to the outside of the basket. Take the price tags off of everything except the basket. Tell the check out clerk that you love collecting kindergarten art projects. They'll never know the difference.

And a suggestion from Lynn.

Food: For Sunday dinner, take the entire family to Sam's Club and dine on the free samples.

Just read that UNRWA's budget for 2008 is $540 Million. What percentage of the UN's entire revenue is that, I wonder? I also wonder why the Palestinians are given land if they cannot run their own government? I wonder how much of their misery is because they have to be managed by a UN committee?

But don't you just know it..

It is driving me insane. I have a regular household wired in dsl, am running the latest firefox and Zone Alarm. Would disabling Zone Alarm be a possible solution? Thanks in advance. This has been happening for about four days.

I run ZoneAlarm with DSL and have not had any problems lately. Turn ZA off and connect. If you drop off then it might be your DSL. I have gone through 2 DSL's already and I am on my third. Qwest keeps replacing them and it does not cost me a dime. Except the time lost on-line.

That is what we need. Help get the country off its economic kness.

And get it flatlined on its back. Make no mistake: the Democrats want you to be poor. It makes you easier to control.

re: #480 buzzdroid

Why does Hollywood do that? Why does Hollywood make it an interracial marriage? Why didn’t they have her raising a white stepchild, from her white husband, white like her? Why does it have to be interracial?

because hollywood has drunk the "multicultural" UN kool-aid.

Um, what do interracial marriages necessarily have to do with "drinking the multiculturalist UN Kool-Aid"?

It's certainly true that Hollywood (and liberal multiculturalists generally) often downplay the anti-social, dysfunctional aspects found in some parts of contemporary African-American culture, while simultaneously recognizing and attacking the same anti-social, dysfunctional aspects in "white trash" culture, because liberal multiculturalists would rather blame everything on the White Christian Heteronormative Patriarchy.

But there ain't nothing wrong with folks who share the same pro-American values marrying "across racial lines."

On the other hand, there is something profoundly wrong in the thinking of people who say that a man and a woman who share fundamentally the same values ought to avoid marrying just because their skin color is different.

That is what we need. Help get the country off its economic kness.

And get it flatlined on its back. Make no mistake: the Democrats want you to be poor. It makes you easier to control.

That's what the mileage tax is all about. Control. Since when does the government have the right to track your vehicle, which is really tracking you.

Bernard Henri Levy among 6 Jews said targeted by Islamist group

Jewish-French philosopher Bernard Henri-Levy was listed by a Belgium-based Islamist group as a target for assassination alongside other leading Jewish personalities in Europe, the Belgian daily La Derniere Heure reported earlier this week.

The planned assassination was apparently thwarted after group leader Abdelkader Belliraj, a Belgian of Moroccan ascent, was arrested last February in Morocco, the newspaper reported.

Belgian authorities found the list during a raid on homes of local Muslim community members last November, according to the report.

The hit list mentioned the names of five other well-know Jewish figures in Belgium and France: Josy Eisenberg, producer of the A Bible ouverte (Open Bible) television program on FR2; Simone Susskind, a leader of Belgium's secular Jewish community; attorney Markus Pardes, president of the International Association of Jewish lawyers and jurists; Belgian writer Jean-Claude Bologne and La Derniere Heure reporter Edmond Blattche.

Rare 1937 Bugatti supercar found in English garage

Relatives of Dr. Harold Carr found an extremely rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante — a Holy Grail for car collectors — as they were going through his belongings after his death.
The dusty two-seater, unused since 1960, didn't look like much in the garage in Gosforth, near Newcastle in northern England.
But only 17 were ever made, and when it's cleaned up and auctioned in Paris next month, experts believe it will fetch at least 3 million pounds ($4.3 million) and possibly much more.
Bugatti once represented the height of motoring achievement. The supercar was so ahead of its time it could go up to 130 mph (209 kph) when most other cars topped out about 50 mph (80

Darwinian thinking clarifies and deepens religious faith

So why do I, with a fairly conventional Christian faith, albeit someone with an academic background in evolutionary biology, believe that a Darwinian worldview matters more than ever?

Above all, Darwin decentres humanity. In this he completes the work that Copernicus and Galileo began. We are not the centre of the Universe. The Universe existed long before we came on the scene.

This decentring does not, of course, mean that we matter any the less. Rather, it helps us to appreciate that we do not sit in a distinct category from the rest of creation.

re: #929 Iron Fist

I'm afraid that you are right. The average American is too worried about who will win "American Idol" to really sit down and figure out what is going on in the economy. Even if you try, its hard. Somebody is lying, that's for sure, but who is lying and why is less clear. Certainly there is no up-side for Bush claiming the economy is in the tank. And some of the problems have been obvious, like people with $35,000 incomes buying half-million dollar houses, and credit cards lending vast sums of money to dogs 'n shit.

But a lot of the numbers that are bad now didn't start being bad until after everyone started claiming that we were days away from re-running the Great Depression. And some people need to go to jail after the way they looted Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac.

I don't expect that that will happen under the Obamessiah. Too many of them are now working for Him.

Why not? Everything else is named after Robert Byrd anyway...

Some items funded by taxpayers -- but still somehow named after "Robert C. Byrd" -- are: The Robert C. Byrd Highway; the Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam; the Robert C. Byrd Institute; the Robert C. Byrd Life Long Learning Center; the Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program; the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope; the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing; the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse; the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center; the Robert C. Byrd Academic and Technology Center; the Robert C. Byrd United Technical Center; the Robert C. Byrd Federal Building; the Robert C. Byrd Drive; the Robert C. Byrd Hilltop Office Complex; the Robert C. Byrd Library; the Robert C. Byrd Learning Resource Center; the Robert C. Byrd Rural Health Center.

And then it got late, and I had to stop researching. But it appears that every slab of concrete in West Virginia is named after Bob Byrd.

I went to the Denver Zoo with my wife and grandkids New Year's day.
In the dinosaur exhibit, I saw a plaque near the Lucy exhibit that said humans share 97.4% of their DNA with primates (monkeys, etc), but in all capital letters it said HUMANS ARE NOT DESCENDED FROM APES.

I stared at that for a while, mulling it over.

On the way home I asked my wife, "How do they know that for sure, but more importantly, what the hell difference does it make one way or the other?"

I honestly don't know. The Bush Administration has been AWOL since about June. Maybe longer than that. And where is our Congressional "leadership"? The Republicans need a better platform than the "We suck less than the Democrats" platform that they've been on for the last decade.

I voted for McCain. I voted a straight Republican ticket. Not because they were so good, only that the Democrats are so obviously bad. It isn't particularly surprising that Obama won, but with Congress' approval ratings so completely in the shitter the Republicans could have done better, but only if they gave the voters a reason to vote for them.

1) Burris is married to Berlean M. Burris, Ph.D., and is the father of two adult children, Dr. Rolanda S. Burris, and Roland W. Burris II. He also has a grandson, Roland T. Burris.

2) In 1993, Burris, an advocate for a national handgun ban, helped to organize Chicago's first Gun Turn-in Day. The following year, Burris admitted that he kept a handgun in his home and had not turned it into police as he had urged others to do. A spokesman stated that Burris had "forgotten about" the handgun.

re: #986 Iron Fist

I honestly don't know. The Bush Administration has been AWOL since about June. Maybe longer than that. And where is our Congressional "leadership"? The Republicans need a better platform than the "We suck less than the Democrats" platform that they've been on for the last decade.

I voted for McCain. I voted a straight Republican ticket. Not because they were so good, only that the Democrats are so obviously bad. It isn't particularly surprising that Obama won, but with Congress' approval ratings so completely in the shitter the Republicans could have done better, but only if they gave the voters a reason to vote for them.

Bush is way beyond what we all know him to be...he is a Republican because that was the road to the presidency...he was groomed and guided not unlike BO but by far richer and powerful men...GB has been used by his father and Baker and Cheney and the Saudi princes...he is in Mexicos pocket and there will be untold billions change hands via NAFTA, the Texas superhighway...banking and energy and shifting alliances are way over our heads...we are commoners with little or no clue...we cannot connect all the dotsbecause there are too many dots...but people do and GWB knows exactly who they are...we do not live in a democracy the way we think we do...we work and vote and complain but we will never know the magnitude we have been duped...hunker down Americans

I've heard a reliable estimate that 20% of "white" Amercans are really mixed race. My sixth great grand father shows up in Virginia census records as a mulatto. Three generations later in Tennessee an uncle sues a neighbor for libel (neighbor called him a mulatto. ) He wins but loses on appeal beacause "everyone in the county knew the -- family was mixed race." After the Civil War most of the family moved to Nebraska or Oregon and became white.
In 1960 my parents were in Shreveoport Lousisana; one of mom's friends (southern born and raised), remarking on her olive skin, joked, "Pat, you could pass for white."

re: #1021 David IV of Georgia

Hollywood is always rewriting perfectly good stories to make them PC or to promote one of their myriad agendas. That the couple is interracial doesn't bother me. What bothers me is movie producers trying to mold my thinking. I hardly watch new movies anymore because they all seem to be part of some poorly taught Culture and Politics 101 class. That and they rehash the same plots over and over and over... The various Bourne movies were good movies, but had some unnecessary radical differences from the books. The movies switched some of the good guys and bad guys around to create the perception, not found in the books, of a fundamentally flawed government system. I go to movies to be entertained and find it distracting when I see amateurish attempts to manipulate my opinions.

The only time that bothers me is if it is completely over the top. See Also: Speed. That damned bus had a representative of every race and religion. I mean, come on!

JONATHAN HUNT: Do you believe that Israel can ever strike a peace deal with Hamas?

MOSAB HASSAN YOUSEF: There is no chance. Is there any chance for fire to co-exist with the water? There is no chance. Hamas can play politics for 10 years, 15 years; but ask any one of Hamas’ leaders, ‘Okay, what’s going to happen after that? Are you just going to live and co-exist with Israel forever?’ The answer is going to be no … unless they want to do something against the Koran. But it’s their ideology and they can’t just say ‘We’re not going to do it.’ So there is no chance. It’s not about Israel, it’s not about Hamas: it’s about both ideologies. There is no chance.

For those of you who have been following the story of my hubby in the hospital, I am happy to report that I was able to speak with him on the phone tonight. (He was intubated on the 16th, and had a tracheotomy on the 23rd), and has been learning to speak with the trache tube. It was hard to understand him, but the one thing I was so happy to hear him say was "I love you and miss you very much." He's doing well and is actually eating pureed food (ick) and water as of today. The boys and I will drive down to Phoenix in the am to visit with him for the weekend. It will be nice to be able to carry on a conversation with him - last week when we were there, he was still mildly sedated and didn't really know what planet he was on.

Sure there is, and if the Israelis had another 90 days and all the ordnance needed then they could do it. Israel should up the ante, state it as policy,
"No truce, No cease-fire, No hudna. Peace means Peace."

Unconditional surrender. Demand victory.

It's time that victory and unconditional surrender were rejoined with the art of war and military doctrine.

Fighting to a tie is a loss. Fighting to quiet is a loss. Fighting to give breathing space is a loss.

Israel did all three in the Hizbullah war. They lost strategically and tactically. Hizbullah is stronger now than when they fought the war and got pulverized from the air. Israel dithered and frittered away its advantages and then chose not to engage the rat lines to Syria, enabling Hizbullah to resupply and regroup in the Bekaa.

Israel has the ability to crush Hamas, but I think there's good reason to question whether Israel's political establishment has the resolve to do so. I wonder whether Israel can sustain itself against a concerted media campaign to discredit Israel's just cause.

What term do we adopt for

I am not doing the PC thing of saying that race "doesn't exist". It "exists", in a sense, just like "tall people" and "short people" exist. But it's a made up "bright line" distinction. I likely have more in common, genetically, with a black man with roughly my physical proportions, than with an Irishman who's six inches taller or shorter than I am.

Good evening Lizards!
For those of you who have been following the story of my hubby in the hospital, I am happy to report that I was able to speak with him on the phone tonight. (He was intubated on the 16th, and had a tracheotomy on the 23rd), and has been learning to speak with the trache tube. It was hard to understand him, but the one thing I was so happy to hear him say was "I love you and miss you very much." He's doing well and is actually eating pureed food (ick) and water as of today. The boys and I will drive down to Phoenix in the am to visit with him for the weekend. It will be nice to be able to carry on a conversation with him - last week when we were there, he was still mildly sedated and didn't really know what planet he was on.
Thank you for your continued prayers.

I shall now return you to your regular Lizard programming.

Hey, the very best of luck to you and your husband! Hope he gets well soon!

I saw the movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still” today. One of the main characters was a pretty white girl that was raising her black step child from her black husband that was killed in the Middle East.

Hollywood is always rewriting perfectly good stories to make them PC or to promote one of their myriad agendas. That the couple is interracial doesn't bother me. What bothers me is movie producers trying to mold my thinking. [...] I go to movies to be entertained and find it distracting when I see amateurish attempts to manipulate my opinions.

Um...

Dude, I haven't seen the remake, but do you have any idea what the plot of the original 1951 version of The Day the Earth Stood Still was about? You might want to do a little Googling and get back to us...

Alright Walter, I have to ask.

What were you doing in this neck of the woods back then?

Furthermore, did you develop your love of theater by hanging out at Turks?

I lived in North Jersey from 64-74. From about 67 till 74, I marched with Trilby String Band and Duffy String Band, only for the New Years Day Parade and the Show of Shows in convention center.

I would drive in with a sax player every Sunday, starting in Nov. for rehearsals. I played accordion.

Bo Pellini was a coach at Nebraska, then (forget his name) fired coach from the Raiders took over, and Pellini quit. Tom Osborne took over as Nebraska Athletic Director, fired whats-his-name, and managed to snag Pellini back.

Pellini retained Steve Watson for offense, hired Carl Pellini (Bo's brother) for defensive coach, and the team has done a 100% turnaround in one season.

I think Pellini will be in the same class as Tom Osborne and Bob Delaney.

U.S. governors seek $1 trillion federal assistance

Gov. Jim Doyle of Wisconsin. He said "quite a number" of other
governors back the initiative."

It reminds me of the story about wolves bleeding to death by repeatedly licking a sharp knife smeared with blood or fat that's been stuck in the ground . Mmmm, but the bailout tastes sooo good. Yes, the story is likely apocryphal ([Link: www.adn.com...] but still a good tale.

I would love to see an amendment in each state constitution that requires the entire state legislature to be unseated (fired) if the state goes bankrupt, and a special election be held to replace the rascals! The same should be true for city governments and the federal government. After all, we, the people, are supposed to be in charge.

With this judgment given, Godard was shriven by the priest, then quickly a man came with a knife of ground steel, and from top to toe he flayed [i.e. filleted] Godard, who shrieked so loudly for mercy, men could hear him a mile away. the old horse was brought, and with a sail rope Godard was bound to her tail and drawn to the gallows, not by the road, but over the fallow field. By the neck he was hanged. Curses on anyone's pity. The man was false.

Pellini retained Steve Watson for offense, hired Carl Pellini (Bo's brother) for defensive coach, and the team has done a 100% turnaround in one season.

I think Pellini will be in the same class as Tom Osborne and Bob Delaney.


They looked plenty turned-around when they hosted Missouri!

Because of the way that Islam portrays apes, I cannot imagine that it was a nice song about monkeys, I am sure it was about Jews. All of her female relatives just fell out laughing, too. Disgusting.

Somebody upthread was asking what books we're reading. I'm currently halfway through "The True Believer" by Hoffer. This chapter really jumped out at me:

"The inordinately selfish are particularly susceptible to frustration. The more selfish a person, the more poignant his disappointments. It is the inordinately selfish, therefore, who are likely to be the most persuasive champions of selflessness.

The fiercest fanatics are often selfish people who were forced by innate shortcomings or external circumstances, to lose faith in their own selves. They separate the excellent instrument of their selfishness from their ineffectual selves and attach it to the service of some holy cause. And though it be a faith of love and humility they adopt, they can be neither loving nor humble."

The boss had been a carnival barker at Coney Island and knew Eddie Cantor, Jimmy Durante, Georgie Jessel and others I can't remember now. I got a heck of an education from their stories.


I met Jimmy Durante's brother in a nursing home in Chicago where my mom worked.

From his post, I think it was natural to think he was an authentic racist, and even if he was a Moby I still think it is likely that he is a racist. Of all the things to pick up out of a storyline the racial demographics wouldn't be first in many, probably most people's mind.

You're right about that. Especially since the remake apparently replaced the anti-nuke themes of the original with (wait for it!) a Green message -- Klaatu's updated mission was to prevent human technology from destroying Earth's pristine natural environment, even if this required the extermination of all human life.

In August, I did take a week and hang out in Lewes. Took the boys fishing on one of the charters by bridge in town.

Had a blast. Croakers. I breaded & fried them up. Fish sticks as far as they were concerned.


Like I said, 10 tickets, if you you want to go, let me know soon, we always seem to have 2 or 3 to sell come August. If I can fill the seats before then it is much simpler, heck, Dover makes me pay for them in October!

I commented on that last photo on my blog and here - because it shows that the anti-Israel demonstrators are engaging in so much more than that. It's not just anti-war or anti-Israel, but anti-Semitic all the way through. These people will engage in the grievance theater at the drop of a hat, and will use any and all of the usual imagery to fuel their anger, venom, and spur others to anger and venom.

And as I continue to repeat, this is with whom the world demands Israel make peace with?

Al-Aqsa TV gets pwnd


GAZA CITY,- Hamas accused Israel of breaking into a broadcast on Friday by the group’s exiled leader on Gaza television.

On the seventh day of an Israeli air offensive against Hamas targets, the group’s supremo Khaled Meshaal was calling on Palestinians to rise up against Israel when his picture suddenly disappeared from the Al-Aqsa TV broadcast.

“Hamas has misled you and abandoned you,” a man’s voice said in Arabic. “If you call any leader of Hamas, nobody will answer.”

Strategypage.com on Gaza, if you haven't seen it before this:

Hamas succeeded in goading Israel into striking back, in an attempt to halt the growing number of rocket attacks on southern Israel. This will not end well for Hamas. Some Palestinians keep trying to make any kind of peace, in order to reverse the economic disaster they brought on themselves because of their eight year terror campaign against Israel. Polls show that Palestinians are tired of terrorism, even though they still support it (in order to destroy Israel, which remains an article of faith in the Palestinian community). The Palestinian economy has collapsed, as foreign charity was reduced because the people elected the Hamas (Islamic terrorists) party to power. Civil war between radical Hamas and corrupt Palestinian old guard (Fatah) has split Palestinians, but Fatah may end up back in control of Gaza by default. Iran backed Islamic radicals (Hezbollah) in Lebanon have revived fears of civil war up there. Hezbollah threatens to drag Lebanon into another civil war, or another war with Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli economy booms as Israel continues its effective counter-terrorism campaign. This annoys Arabs most of all.

James Coburn plays the psychiatrist to the president, but through the whole movie he's stalked by an ominous group, TPC. Ends up making him a near basket case.

Classic, classic movie. Must view. Made in 1967.

We were talking about this movie the other day, I remember it reminded me about Severen Darden #417 12/29/2008

The University of Chicago campus police entered Rockefeller Chapel one evening and discovered young Severan Darden wearing a cape and "entertaining a young lady on the organ." They chased him around until he threw himself on the altar and screamed "Sanctuary." They let him go.

Utah wins. BCS must stand for Bullshite College System.

Every year there is a controversy over who should be national champs or even play for the title. An eight game playoff would solve most of this. Utah deserves a chance just like Auburn did a couple of years back.

Is it like that in Philly?

I got this e-mail today from a lady in Albuquerque (conservative 80-year old):

Look who's in charge of our nation's school system.



Chicago

a typical Democratic town ?

Chicago... Who Runs it?

Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin
Representative: Jesse Jackson, Jr.
Illinois Governor: Rod Blogojevich (arrested last week and out on bail)

Illinois House leader: Mike Madigan
Illinois Attorney General: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Chicago Mayor: Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)

The leadership in Illinois ? ...all Democrats.

Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .
Body count in the last six months: 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago
221 killed in Iraq
State pension fund - $44 Billion in debt, worst in the country.

Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax - 10.25% highest in country. (Look it up).

Chicago school system - rated one of the worst in the country. (Superintendent just appointed to Presidents Cabinet as head of the Department of Education)

Of course, they're all blaming each other. They can't blame Republicans because there aren't any.
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois . And he's going to '"fix" Washington politics for us? Good luck and may God help us

LONDON - It was the equivalent of finding an old Picasso or an unknown Beatles tape hidden away in your uncle's attic.

Relatives of Dr. Harold Carr found an extremely rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante — a Holy Grail for car collectors — as they were going through his belongings after his death.

The dusty two-seater, unused since 1960, didn't look like much in the garage in Gosforth, near Newcastle in northern England.
Story continues below ↓advertisement %P% your ad here

But only 17 were ever made, and when it's cleaned up and auctioned in Paris next month, experts believe it will fetch at least 3 million pounds ($4.3 million) and possibly much more.

Bugatti once represented the height of motoring achievement. The supercar was so ahead of its time it could go up to 130 mph when most other cars topped out about 50 mph.

This particular car is even more valuable because it was originally owned by Earl Howe, a prominent British racecar driver, and because its original equipment is intact, so it can restored without relying on replacement parts. It has just 26,000 miles on the clock.

An Arab Comedian's take on the AirTran.

(Not) Flying While Muslim

When going to the airport, no shirts with Arabic writing nor Arab scarves that are very fashionable and worn by so many young, hip people today. Those scarves may be cool for white people, but if we wear them at the airport, it means one thing: Orange alert.

So what should you wear? Remember this saying: "Dress white, make your flight. Dress Brown, never leave town." What does "dress white" mean? Two words: Banana Republic -- khaki pants and polo shirt with a little animal on it -- like a tiger, a horse or an alligator -- but not a camel -- I repeat, not a camel!

Also if you have a Middle Eastern accent and are answering questions by security, I'd recommend throwing in words from other languages so they have no idea where you are from. For example, if they ask where you are going, you respond: "Where are am I going, mon cheri? To see my Mamma Mia and have a fajita -- mazel tov!"

Gout is often triggered by purines, a protein found in red meat, gravy, seafood, etc... Alcohol also is a common trigger.

Its gout, I've been getting it for a decade now, and my doctor also gets it! Its nice when your doctor knows first-hand what your going through... tends to increase the sympathy factor!

re: #1596 Silhouette

Don't ask me why I did it, but I read the comments. Still laughing at

Let's see, bigotry killed how many thousands this year?

Because jihad killed 10,779 people in 2008, with 18,000 injured.

IN a sense, jihad is bigotry.

the KKK are/were a terrorist organization -- driven by bigotry.

Don't plain clothes officers wear fedoras anymore...:)

There's a guy in Homicide that always wears one. I'd rather wear my Slovakia National hockey team baseball cap, but it wouldn't go with the rest of my ensemble.

Yep, and of course these fools are insane by any definition. The FD at home is all volunteer and a couple of the new kids quit after going on some of these loonie calls.

Hey, serious moment here Dust - how long did they tell you that they THOUGHT it would take to pass and did they mention using ultrasound?

They gave it a week, if not passed, they will consider other method. I'm ready to start charging it rent.

Alright, finished my Playoff Challenge roster for my fantasy league (which I won this year).

/even more money for me!

After your fantasy draft did they drive the other teams back to the mental institute? That was one heck of a draft!

Yes it does! My doctor of about 30 years or so, who is two years older than I am, got prostate cancer a year after I did.
Fortunately for him they found it early and though he is a genuinely good guy and friend, he really was more sympathetic to my plight after he got it!

Aye, but the LLL wasn't talking about murderous actions caused by hate, but about the very feelings themselves. Bad feelings hurt people, in their world.

yeah, karma and all . . .

/blah!

While the preachers and psychologists will tell you that bad feelings only hurt the person feeling them. It's actions/words that hurt other people as well.

re: #1602 HoosierHoops

There is no problem..no issue..no ranking
That can't be answered by a play-off series..

Yup, I've decided there is no major college football champion outside the anointed campus of the the so called BCS winner. It's not a national championship, it is a local championship recognized by some dork somewhere and the given alumni. It's about the bucks, not the reality of it all.

re: #1582 ggt

good men aren't born, they are made.

Mostly by women.

Personal Peeve Time - I hate these sort of comments!
Good men are good because they are inherently strong...
No woman ever made a man good.
Any man weak enough to be molded, won't turn out to be good.
Coddled, mollified, domesticated, whipped, reformed is not the same as good.

1629 beermeister  Fri, Jan 2, 2009 9:33:41pm

re: #1559 HoosierHoops

What the BCS does not give us is a play-off.. A team like this year..USC that is so hot and peaking at the right time a chance to win the National championship...Stupid

Yeah, I think USC deserves a chance along with Utah. Texas too. Eight game playoff, make the bowl games the playoff games. There would be a total of seven bowls. Four then two then one for the champ.

I think that we do have the opportunity to build nobility into one another - it is not a matter of "Coddled, mollified, domesticated, whipped, reformed" but rather our sacrificial love contributes to the strength of character that you speak of

re: #1591 ggt
Hey ggt - well I'm doing ok, but it was an exciting day!
Some idiot with a gun robbed our bank (about a 1/4 mile away) and we got a call from the township police (automated "there is an emergency in your area, if you want to know more press #!") and the message after pressing #1 was that the dude was white, 5'6" or so, wearing a ski mask, latex gloves and had an autmatic pistol and was last seen headed for our garden apartment complex! So I called the non-emergency number and said "He's probably ditched the ski mask and gloves and tucked the pistol out of sight - what was he wearing - color of coat, etc. They said they didn't know!
Then got a bunch of cop cars zooming through our apartment complex and another recorded message saying he was definitely hiding in our apartment complex!
Then cop cars zoomed off. No phone calls. So I again called them on the non-emergency line and said "So? What happened?" They said the "perp" (I swear they said Perp) had left the area.
FUN!
I was so excited I took a nap!

Actually, I was kinda making a pun/joke --"mostly by women". As there is no man on earth that wasn't "made" by a women (and a man).

I agree, it was definitely exciting enough for a nap. Glad all turned out well for you and your Mom and you are safe.

Sorry, got kicked offline! :/ It's Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis- I don't live there any more. Adrian Rogers is the reason I attended.

Love Worth Finding. Rogers' TV show. The shows I saw were packed with wisdom.

Ice? A thin little bedsheet on the joint is excruciating... a heavy icepack would kill me!

Only treatment is strong anti-inflammatories, and if that doesn't help, drain it with a really big needle!

The colchicine always knocks it down for me, but it takes a day or two.

Some years back I was diagnosed with gout and was advised to drink as much bottled mineral water as I could get into me as often as possible. Within a week, all the symptoms had disappeared. And have never returned since.
