So because it has no meaning for anyone but my fellow geeks, I finally completed all the mechanized units for my Cadians. So that means
1 Baneblade Super Heavy Tank
10 Sentinels
4 Chimera APC
2 Leman Russ MBT
1 Leman Russ Exterminator
Which means I only need to complete:
2 squads of IG Storm Troopers
1 Full IG Platoon
2 Mortar Teams
And my IG army will finally be complete

John Howard - former Prime Minister of Australia.
“IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individuals or their culture. Since the terrorists attack on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society learn the language!
Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian right wing political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.
This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom: THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted YOU.”
Amen.
I wish we can all be like Australia...posses a complete disregard for political correctness.

There's plenty of liberal fucktards to go around everywhere in the world. Australia, at least it seems that way to me from things I hear and read, are the least concerned about political correctness and formalities. Many of them don't take bullshit...for example, Muslims were planning to create Muslim-only classes in an school in a town over there, and the Aussies obliterated that plan to shreds and basically told them to "get out."
It's about time we told them to get out, too. My family immigrated here from Israel and you don't hear a peep out of us...yet western countries, Europe foremost, are bending over backwards to appease these twisted people who are simply biding their time until they can tell us to "get out", too.

Anyone into buying "pre-foreclosure" property?

Sounds like a waste of time to me, just contact a real estate agent and let them search for this, probably public information.
(I don't want to post even the name of the site I looked at)

Anyone into buying "pre-foreclosure" property?
Someone here in the real world was asking me (?!) about some online service that lets you search a list of "pre-foreclosures", and also arranges some kind of a rent-to-buy deal on them. They charge a couple hundred bucks for a single search of their database by zipcode, apparently.
Sounds like a waste of time to me, just contact a real estate agent and let them search for this, probably public information.
(I don't want to post even the name of the site I looked at)
Anyone know anything about such deals?
Thanks.
Hud list are free. I bought a Hud house. Its a little beat up but I was able to pick it up at 3/4 the market price.

You have to be really careful about buying houses both before and after foreclosures. There are a lot of pitfalls and traps. You have to be very careful of liens against the property and sometimes the property can be seized by the bank while your offer is still pending. Be careful and really read up on it before you get into it.

Well, lizards sure aren't kosher, and IIRC correctly, Torah says that if they get into the food supply, you not only toss the food, you break the vessels.
Wouldn't be surprised if there's a general Middle Eastern 'thing' about them, although I rather like the little guys. Wonder if the food rules developed because they carry salmonella or something?

"Them" is Muslims. Certainly not all Muslims. Just the ones who kill their daughters for dating a white kid, kill divorce lawyers because their wives seek an unholy divorce and the lawyers facilitate that, and the ones who simply don't like western values and seek to undermine it.
Unfortunately, there are a lot such Muslims.

Greetings newbies.
One rule not mentioned so I will ask that you keep it in mind too.
When engaged in an argument please do not demand specifics from someone and then, when given specifics, insist that the specifics don't really describe a broader context.
Aside from being a bit dishonest such a line of argument is also plagiarism given that Cognito has developed it into an art form.

A new invention has made the difficult task of transporting water a little easier.

What a cool invention! I love stuff like that.
As I understand it, the plan is to sink a well at the school, and then make the water available to the families of the students as well, (also the nuns living at the school, etc, etc.)
We should find out if 'hippos' are a possible short-term help, though. Apparently the girls are carrying back ridiculous amounts on their heads, and it's just, well, a drag.

Oh, please. There is no comparison. Christians acknowledge that Judaism is the root and Christianity a grafted branch:
From Romans 11:
If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

From there we develop an elaborate process of keeping meat and dairy products separate, and only permitting the eating of meat ritually slaughtered and bled out. Also, lots of rules relating to the condition of the innards, and some bits you can't eat.

Just because one can "read" the koran in arabic (remember, all their children learn this too through repetition) AND knows what it says (according to the imam at the mosques) doesn't mean this person is muslim at all. I call BS

Just like He did then. He even got his Bar Mitzvah at 13. Imagine that.
I took a class once with a rabbi who was a consultant for the Bar Mitzvah scene in Zefferelli's "Jesus of Nazareth". He waited until they brought him on location to mention that it's a medieval custom, but what the heck...the kid playing the adolescent Jesus gets up, begins, stumbles over the Hebrew, Zefferelli screams "CUT! and looks annoyed."
Trying to calm the tension on set, the rabbi says "Come on, Franco, every Jewish boy stumbles over his Torah portion."
Zefferelli pulls himself up to his full height and snarls "NOT the Son of God!"

Actually, we didn't rewrite the ending. Just added an extra scene.

Hiya NYC,
It got all the way to 30 degrees today. We were having a heat wave. My trees are still encased in about 1/2" of ice but the limbs are no longer touching the ground. Taking Izzy in the back yard is hazardous as ice is now coming down in chunks.
Lucky not to have lost power or water like so many did.
Did you all get it in NYC or upstate? Haven't talked to S by phone. She is leaning towards Seattle to move this summer. I'm not happy.
i'm glad you're ok. i didn't know how bad it was until today. so many people w/out heat and water. and roofs falling in from the weight of the ice. take care and not fall. it is cold here but no snow/ice in the city. when are you coming up

So much blood has been shed by the Church because of an omission from the Gospel:
"Ye shall be indifferent as to what your neighbor's religion is." Not merely tolerant of it, but indifferent to it.
Divinity is claimed for many religions; but no religion is great enough or divine enough to add that new law to its code.

There's a big difference, too, between re-interpreting the text (e.g., seeing prophecies of Christ in the OT) and re-writing it (e.g., making Ishmael the child of promise.)
I have an elaborate theory about the Isaac/Ishmael Akedah thing which basically has to do with the way identities get confused when people remember family traumas--but that's neither here nor there...

Hey, Joe! I didn't take your comments as wrong at all. The linkage between the two faiths has always been interesting to me. I think being able to talk about it without taking offense might do both sides a world of good.
Hey, Doc! I agree, we should be able to talk about both religions without taking offense. Many aspects of both are really fascinating.

i'm glad you're ok. i didn't know how bad it was until today. so many people w/out heat and water. and roofs falling in from the weight of the ice. take care and not fall. it is cold here but no snow/ice in the city. when are you coming up
(btw what's wrong w/ st. louis? )
Not sure when I'll be up, will probably wait till nicer weather.
I'm pulling for St. Louis. Seattle is offering lots of $ and perks, and S has many friends living there. Waiting on St.L's offer. So I'm hoping their offer is really good.

Actually, that was a power generator. Blago had it hooked up to Lincoln's tomb so that Lincoln's spinning in grave due to what his state has become could generate some power. Obama plans to use that for the graves of other great leader who would be disgusted by his election. His other major power initiative is to use the methane from unicorn farts.

How are you liking it so far?
I'm loving it. His humor is very clever, you can miss it if you are not paying attention. I'm up to around 70 pages in, sometimes he gets wordier that I care for, but I notice some of his best gems are hidden in those wordy passages.
I'm in the part where he is explaining the Templars to his two new found friends. That's boring me since I could have written that section myself.
He certainly has a way with "odd" characters, they seem just a step out of phase with the rest of the world. Which keeps them believable but still unique.
Looking forward to the rest of it. But it is like a fine cigarette and a brandy. I'm also really looking forward to taking my time enjoying it, because I don't want it to end.

I went to an exhibit at the SF Natural Science Museum some years ago, on human evolution. I had never before seen a silhouette of the critter that left the 'Lucy' bones standing upright before.
They were so little. It got to me somehow, that this tiny little creature was a people matriarch.

That was why I saved it, mostly in order to do a search every week, nut after a few months, nothing showed up.

Oh, I suspect I will be picking up other works of his. I've heard of him, but I never got around to reading any of his stuff.
The only reason I picked up Foucault's Pendulum is it was recommended by J. Powers as suggested reading from his list of books associated with the TV show LOST.
LOST follows the same intertexual connections that Eco has suggested all literature should have. So there are a lot of internal references to both fiction, pop culture, history, science, religion and philosophy.

I will go out on a limb and pick "The Mighty Arizona Cardinals" to emerge victorious in tomorrows American Football match. And, once that happens, four hoursmen will appear from the east and the world as we know it will come to an end.....it will be the apocalypse....So, the celebration here in Phoenix will be short, but sweet......
so if the Cards win you will pop into a flaming pyre?....you need an agent amigo...they can win, and they just might...

The Red Badge of Courage.
To Kill a Mockingbird would be timely and earn you extra points with your teacher.
All The King's Men would also be timely with the Blago impeachment.
How the West Was Won is good but highly unPC, if you have a moonbat teacher that would cause problems.
Inherit the Wind, although a bit over the top in places is a good dramatization of one of the first trials against Evolution.
King Rat is a movie about prisoners in WWII
Exodus is a movie about the birth of Israel

I posted this on the morning dead thread but I want to repeat it/
A good friend of mine died yesterday his name is Marshall Cobleigh. He was a true Statesman here in New Hampshire and a writer Amazon.com he will be missed. Here is a speech he wrote for the late Governor of New Hampshire Mel Thompson.
FREEDOM ISN’T FREE.
In fact it is a precious production in a world where oppression and slavery predominate.
The 1982 rankings of the nations of the free world by Freedom House of new York rated only 54 Nations as free. The population of these free nations total 1.5 billion.
The remaining 111 nations of the world are rated partly free or not free. Thus, the majority of the people in the world, more then 2.5 billion are not masters of their destinies. And millions of those live in abject slavery in countries such as Russia, China and Cuba.
The freedom of present-day Americans was purchased at the price, in a war that spanned 13 years, did not guarantee that Americans would live throughout history in freedom. On the contrary, every new generation of Americans has had to repurchase its freedom at great sacrifice often by means of war.
We have come to realize the truth of the oft repeated statement of John Philpot Curran, an Irish member of the English parliament who in 1790 said “The condition upon which God has given liberty to man is eternal vigilance, which condition if he breaks, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and punishment of his guilt”.
The liberty which we enjoy today in this land of the free could be lost tomorrow if we fail for a single instant to keep the light of vigilance burning.
We have paid a terrible price in this 20th century to preserve the freedom given to us by those revered Founding Fathers of 200 years ago.
The total deaths in the major wars we fought in this century exceeded 600,000 and the wounded amounted to more then a million. And yet the threats to our freedom is probably greater now then at any time in our history.
Tragically, the plaintive cry of Lt. Col John McCrae from the Flanders Field of World War I to “take up the quarrel with the foe” has fallen on the ears of a generation who do not hear.
The battlefield is not the only place that freedom can be lost. Every day that we permit the state to exact high taxes, reach into our lives with restrictive regulations, or weaken our economy by enormous giveaway programs to foreign nations, we surrender more of our freedom to the state itself.
The graveyard of history is filled with the remains of nations that suffered and died from the cycle from republic to revolutionary chaos and to dictatorship.
Lincoln once said as a young man that no nation in the world could conquer America in a trial of a thousand years that if we perished it would be by national suicide. Freedom is a fragile thing. Unless each of us conscientiously makes a daily contribution to its preservation it will vanish as quickly as the sparkling dew under a rising sun.
Every child of freedom has a sacred obligation to work tirelessly to keep America strong, hold taxes down and the state in careful check. This is the kind of vigilance that can ensure our national security and happiness. It is indeed a small return from the sacrifice of love of those innumerable patriots who contributed their all to freedom.
Mel Thompson

The only problem with that is, it is significantly harder to undo something already done.
Being someone who will be paying into SSI for at least another 20 years, I am not confident at all it will be there for me. However, I think it is a terrible idea anyway. Galveston has a pretty good model.
Bush had a perfect opportunity. Had a majority in both houses. They did not even fight for it.
They wont.
IIRC, 2014 is when it is projected to pay out more than it takes in.
well, I cannot argue with that....he will definitely screw things up pretty good. I also agree that Bush and the Republicans BLEW IT. They had it all and decided it was better to play footsie with the Dems and act like them as well......they could have solved many problems, but lacked the courage and the will.....the Dems do not have that fear and it sure looks like they are going to shove their entire agenda down out throats if we like it or not.

Hello Lizards,
I got in through an unannounced crack in the door of Lizardtude last week, but haven't introduced myself so far.
I'm 31, live in Tel-Aviv.
I used to consider myself a liberal for most of my life, but over the past couple of years, seeing how virulently anti-semitic the world is becoming, I'm outgrowing some of my liberal sentiments.
I've been reading LGF since the previous Jooish war of aggression in Lebanon.

Heck - I'm still waiting for them to get a dog. Where's the dog, President O? ? ? Actually, it's down to the wire - they are deciding between a Portugese water hound and a labradoodle. (Malia has allergies, so they need a hypoallergenic pooch.)
I favor a labradoodle, simply because I like to say "Labradoodle". However my mother knows a Portugese water dog, and says it is a very nice breed.
I just want them to get the dog, already. I love celebrity dogs. I was very approving when the Bush's dog bit a reporter.

There need to be some abortions, alright, and these idiots should be first to go. When they balk, just tell them it's for the good of the planet and their children. I wonder how that would go over? It is OK for THEM to be here, but, we should murder unborn babies, to make THEM feel better about themselves. I cannot even imagine having to sleep with that on me, "Hi honey, guess what I did today?

I learned from a documentary the other night that Josephine Baker became destitute and was taken in and given a home by Princess Grace of Monaco, who remained her benefactor until she died in 1975.
That's horrible ...but Princess Grace was very kind to help her ...

It is a great movie. I think The Battle of the Bulge should be on the list. Great tank battle scenes in that one.
What I couldn't get around in battle of the bulge (made in '66 I believe) was them using M24 Chaffee's instead of Shermans and of course the Germans using , I think M47's.
Clearly there were real Shermans available because a Bridge Too Far, made in '77 used plenty of them.....

Cheesecake used to be one of my specialties. I had an old recipe called Delia Robert's Original New York Style Cheescake that I lost during a move about ten years ago, so I started experimenting. My favorite is key lime for flavoring; I use sour cream and add flour for a denser texture. From reading the recipe, this one seems like a different breed altogether.

I don't have a horse in the game today. I was born in Cleveland and grew up hating the Steelers so I guess I will be rooting for the Cards. I have to wake up at 2an to watch live. So I will be dvr ing just in case.

Yes, it does. I'm not quite sure of who originated it but it refers to paratroopers in Normandy making the best of a bad situation and accomplishing their mission by individually taking the initiative and carrying out their commanders intent - which was to seek out and destroy the enemy wherever they found them.....

Octuplets’ mother wants Oprah to turn her into a $2m TV star
THE single mother of octuplets born in California last week is seeking $2m (£1.37m) from media interviews and commercial sponsorship to help pay the cost of raising the children.
Nadya Suleman, 33, plans a career as a television childcare expert after it emerged last week that she already had six children before giving birth on Monday. She now has 14 below the age of eight.
Although still confined to an LA hospital bed, she intends to talk to two influential television hosts this week — media mogul Oprah Winfrey, and Diane Sawyer, who presents Good Morning America.

We stopped using horses in football games in the states about 45 years ago. I didn't know they still used them in SA?

re: #607 spirochete
I read the first couple of chapters in Acts today, where the married couple fell over dead when it was revealed they had underreported the profits from a real estate deal.
I got a sense that the buyer of the couple's property was expecting a 100% kickback, and was more than a little disappointed when the "donation" proceeds appeared to be less than that.

Hamas, the government of terror
I wonder if there is an expiry date for those who were “all Hamas now” last week. Are they still all Hamas as the death toll in Gaza continues to rise. And when they were protesting the death toll among the civilians of Gaza, did they spare a thought for the Abd Rabbo family and the countless others who were forced to make their families targets by Hamas terrorists? Or for the fathers who tried to put their family’s safety first and had their legs shot off by Hamas.?
Were you Hamas then? Are you Hamas now?

re: #1344 Iron Fist
There are many reasons why LGF may seem to be anti-Mohammedan. For the most part, we are strong US Partisans in the Current War. We may not have all literally grabbed a rifle and headed off to the front, but we want the US and Israel to prevail. Given that the Mohammedans are the aggressors attacking the United States and Israel across the world today, it may indeed seem that we are anti-Islam. To the extent that Islam is a true death cult, we are anti-Islam. I see that as being no different than being anti-Nazi during WWII and really being an aspect of our culture long after the Nazi threat had been, well, not expunged from the earth, but forced from any real power in most of the nations of the world. Even today any hint of Nazism by a group is radioactive. You can see that from the revulsion we here at LGF have had towards the VB/white nationalist affiliations of some others that are ostensibly allies or fellow travelers in the war between the West and militant Islam. We want no part of people who are neo-Nazis, even if we have some shared points of view on some issues.
Islam is as much a political ideology as it is a religion. It is militant from its inception, brutal and cruel in its application, and fanatically dedicated towards spreading the faith by violence today. It is anti-Semitic and anti-Christian (not to mention anti-agnostic and anti-atheist) in its teachings. It is a vile cult,and it should be regarded as such by the right-thinking people all over the world. Not every practioner of Islam is a monster, of course, but the same can be said about the Nazis during WWII, or the Russians during the Cold War. They are the enemy and to the extent that they remain the enemy we will oppose them.
Upding, and I would only add that the root of any charges against those of us here as "anti Islam" is that, well, in my opinion, these accusations come from people who do not understand who I am and what I believe- and what I believe in is the potential for evil in everyone- and the actions of the more radical elements of the terrorists movements fueled by a specific religion are not subjected to any sort of moral relativism or political correctness from me- if you rocket another country to kill Jewish children, no matter what your religion, I will consider you evil- not crazy. If you allow your children to be killed in order to kill other people, because their deaths mean more than your children's lives- you are evil, no matter what you say about your religion-
Your freedom to practice your religion ends where my body begins. I do not accept the statement that because I am a Zionist Jew it is ok to hold up signs in the US that say death to people like me- caliong my fellow Jews settlers in order to make their deaths seem "not so bad" is also not allow, and I reject as false (:) the notion that a group of people can attack civilians from independent nation and cry and wail over their civilian deaths. . .if those deaths are so painful- PREVENT THEM! Stop attacking people and start building something for yourselves!
