Hello All,
Two months have gone by since the notice for the 7/20/2011 was initially posted. Three months remain. Be patient. At this time the notice on the many Forums has collectively received around 7,000 views. I sincerely thank the Administrators, Moderators and Members of this Forum for your kind patience! A new reminder will be issued on 5/20. In the interim, questions are welcome either as posts or, if one prefers, Private Message.
We ask ET to come to our skies globally on the date given so that we can begin to clear up the confusion that humanity has about them. I, like many people, have a picture based on the sum total of my experiences, and this picture, when compared to what other people have to say, is, as usual, different. The confusion level in this topic is too high, and it must be dealt with. Operation Asking will be the first step in an attempt to eliminate this confusion, and where we go from here will be based on the outcome of this first attempt at contact. Also, it needs to be understood that there is NO leadership in this picture. The idea is to get the word out globally and each and every person who wishes to try this will stand on their own two feet and simply pass the word along to every spot on the globe. This is NOT a "me" project – this is a "humanity" project. I will answer questions if necessary, but the idea is that people need to focus on themselves and on completing this project if they want it done: the picture is super-simple.
The date used in this ( 7 / 20 / 2011 @ 5:20 AM Greenwich time ) only has to do with my final conclusions and is NOT something people have to adopt as a belief. Everyone is free to continue to believe whatever they choose regarding ET, including the notion that ET is here to do us harm. I have never had an ounce of trouble from them since 1955 when my experiences began, and there are others who say the same thing. One side or the other is wrong in this dual-aspect picture, and we will hopefully clear THIS problem up once and for all.
This date of 7 / 20 / 11 marks the time when the Orion nebula rises with the sun as viewed from Stonehenge. The nebula is the archetype for a symbol that we have lost, whose age goes back some 40,000 years. Stonehenge was chosen for its ancient history and picture, and for no other reason. This is OUR date and OUR picture for this - period. No one is forcing anyone to believe what I have found concerning it.
Regarding the why's of this "asking to come":
In the topic of UFOs one picture has remained constant - the overall uniform confusion and resultant guesswork regarding ET and their flitting presence in our skies. In all of these years of 'things happening', there is still no uniform consensus as to what is going on, so, on the date selected, we are 'ASKING THEM' to provide the people of earth with evidence of their presence and put at least that much of the problem to rest. For those who believe the so-called "Powers That Be" have this type of flying technology and could fool us, let me just say that even if this was true and they had flying UFO-like craft, they cannot have as many ships as it would take to fill our skies on a global level – so, that ends THAT problem. Also, we are NOT asking for a landing, as quite frankly I believe this would upset a great many people, and the appearance in the sky, for some, would be upsetting enough. The picture involved is really no different than a young child's first look out of a window, and learning that there is more to his or her world than the house they live in. As the child grows, the picture of the world becomes larger still; this is just the next step in that picture's enlargement.
Regarding the HOW'S of "asking" ET to show up on that date, I leave this up to you. Some people, like myself, know for a fact their life is closely monitored; others are not sure. Do whatever you feel you should do to get a message out to them, if indeed you feel this is even necessary. Personally, I feel they watch everything here and know exactly what's going on, so I do not believe there will be a problem.
One last thing ... there is no way this arrival can be guaranteed to happen – we are asking; there may be things we do not know about. Personally, I think it will happen as they have been doing this for decades, just not in a global organized manor. Also, we are not asking them to fly over restricted airspace and cause a military panic (even though this seems to happen fairly regularly). We are leaving the 'hows' of this picture up to them.
I believe the time has come for us as a people to grow up and meet the neighbors. I believe the time has come to TRY and eliminate the questions we have been plagued with for decades regarding ET and their presence here. It seems the world leaders cannot be trusted to share what they know - if indeed they know anything. This is OUR planet – not theirs - and we want to know. We the people - have spoken.
Please copy and paste this message to everyone you know, on every spot on the globe.

The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage
Why same-sex marriage is an American value.
By Theodore B. Olson
Published Jan 9, 2010
From the magazine issue dated Jan 18, 2010
Together with my good friend and occasional courtroom adversary David Boies, I am attempting to persuade a federal court to invalidate California's Proposition 8—the voter-approved measure that overturned California's constitutional right to marry a person of the same sex.
My involvement in this case has generated a certain degree of consternation among conservatives. How could a politically active, lifelong Republican, a veteran of the Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush administrations, challenge the "traditional" definition of marriage and press for an "activist" interpretation of the Constitution to create another "new" constitutional right?
My answer to this seeming conundrum rests on a lifetime of exposure to persons of different backgrounds, histories, viewpoints, and intrinsic characteristics, and on my rejection of what I see as superficially appealing but ultimately false perceptions about our Constitution and its protection of equality and fundamental rights.
Many of my fellow conservatives have an almost knee-jerk hostility toward gay marriage. This does not make sense, because same-sex unions promote the values conservatives prize. Marriage is one of the basic building blocks of our neighborhoods and our nation. At its best, it is a stable bond between two individuals who work to create a loving household and a social and economic partnership. We encourage couples to marry because the commitments they make to one another provide benefits not only to themselves but also to their families and communities. Marriage requires thinking beyond one's own needs. It transforms two individuals into a union based on shared aspirations, and in doing so establishes a formal investment in the well-being of society. The fact that individuals who happen to be gay want to share in this vital social institution is evidence that conservative ideals enjoy widespread acceptance. Conservatives should celebrate this, rather than lament it.
Legalizing same-sex marriage would also be a recognition of basic American principles, and would represent the culmination of our nation's commitment to equal rights. It is, some have said, the last major civil-rights milestone yet to be surpassed in our two-century struggle to attain the goals we set for this nation at its formation.
This bedrock American principle of equality is central to the political and legal convictions of Republicans, Democrats, liberals, and conservatives alike. The dream that became America began with the revolutionary concept expressed in the Declaration of Independence in words that are among the most noble and elegant ever written: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly held that marriage is one of the most fundamental rights that we have as Americans under our Constitution. It is an expression of our desire to create a social partnership, to live and share life's joys and burdens with the person we love, and to form a lasting bond and a social identity. The Supreme Court has said that marriage is a part of the Constitution's protections of liberty, privacy, freedom of association, and spiritual identification. In short, the right to marry helps us to define ourselves and our place in a community. Without it, there can be no true equality under the law.
It is true that marriage in this nation traditionally has been regarded as a relationship exclusively between a man and a woman, and many of our nation's multiple religions define marriage in precisely those terms. But while the Supreme Court has always previously considered marriage in that context, the underlying rights and liberties that marriage embodies are not in any way confined to heterosexuals.
Marriage is a civil bond in this country as well as, in some (but hardly all) cases, a religious sacrament. It is a relationship recognized by governments as providing a privileged and respected status, entitled to the state's support and benefits. The California Supreme Court described marriage as a "union unreservedly approved and favored by the community." Where the state has accorded official sanction to a relationship and provided special benefits to those who enter into that relationship, our courts have insisted that withholding that status requires powerful justifications and may not be arbitrarily denied.
What, then, are the justifications for California's decision in Proposition 8 to withdraw access to the institution of marriage for some of its citizens on the basis of their sexual orientation? The reasons I have heard are not very persuasive.
The explanation mentioned most often is tradition. But simply because something has always been done a certain way does not mean that it must always remain that way. Otherwise we would still have segregated schools and debtors' prisons. Gays and lesbians have always been among us, forming a part of our society, and they have lived as couples in our neighborhoods and communities. For a long time, they have experienced discrimination and even persecution; but we, as a society, are starting to become more tolerant, accepting, and understanding. California and many other states have allowed gays and lesbians to form domestic partnerships (or civil unions) with most of the rights of married heterosexuals. Thus, gay and lesbian individuals are now permitted to live together in state-sanctioned relationships. It therefore seems anomalous to cite "tradition" as a justification for withholding the status of marriage and thus to continue to label those relationships as less worthy, less sanctioned, or less legitimate.
The second argument I often hear is that traditional marriage furthers the state's interest in procreation—and that opening marriage to same-sex couples would dilute, diminish, and devalue this goal. But that is plainly not the case. Preventing lesbians and gays from marrying does not cause more heterosexuals to marry and conceive more children. Likewise, allowing gays and lesbians to marry someone of the same sex will not discourage heterosexuals from marrying a person of the opposite sex. How, then, would allowing same-sex marriages reduce the number of children that heterosexual couples conceive?
This procreation argument cannot be taken seriously. We do not inquire whether heterosexual couples intend to bear children, or have the capacity to have children, before we allow them to marry. We permit marriage by the elderly, by prison inmates, and by persons who have no intention of having children. What's more, it is pernicious to think marriage should be limited to heterosexuals because of the state's desire to promote procreation. We would surely not accept as constitutional a ban on marriage if a state were to decide, as China has done, to discourage procreation.
Another argument, vaguer and even less persuasive, is that gay marriage somehow does harm to heterosexual marriage. I have yet to meet anyone who can explain to me what this means. In what way would allowing same-sex partners to marry diminish the marriages of heterosexual couples? Tellingly, when the judge in our case asked our opponent to identify the ways in which same-sex marriage would harm heterosexual marriage, to his credit he answered honestly: he could not think of any.
The simple fact is that there is no good reason why we should deny marriage to same-sex partners. On the other hand, there are many reasons why we should formally recognize these relationships and embrace the rights of gays and lesbians to marry and become full and equal members of our society.
No matter what you think of homosexuality, it is a fact that gays and lesbians are members of our families, clubs, and workplaces. They are our doctors, our teachers, our soldiers (whether we admit it or not), and our friends. They yearn for acceptance, stable relationships, and success in their lives, just like the rest of us.
Conservatives and liberals alike need to come together on principles that surely unite us. Certainly, we can agree on the value of strong families, lasting domestic relationships, and communities populated by persons with recognized and sanctioned bonds to one another. Confining some of our neighbors and friends who share these same values to an outlaw or second-class status undermines their sense of belonging and weakens their ties with the rest of us and what should be our common aspirations. Even those whose religious convictions preclude endorsement of what they may perceive as an unacceptable "lifestyle" should recognize that disapproval should not warrant stigmatization and unequal treatment.

The Boeing Company was struggling after World War I, but Founder William Boeing and his management team pressed on, encouraging and funding the proactive research and development of many different commercial biplane designs. As it turns out, none of the new biplane designs ever made it into production. Not to be dissuaded by this unfortunate fact, Boeing continued to innovate and make history.
On 3 March 1919, Pilot Eddie Hibbard and Boeing carried 60 letters from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Seattle, Washington, aboard the Boeing C-700. (Fun fact: The last U.S. Navy plane Boeing produced for WWI carried the serial number 699.) This trip by Hibbard and Boeing went down in history as the first international airmail delivery!
The Boeing Company continued along this delivery route, but not in the Boeing C-700. The now-famous Boeing B-1 mail plane was the aircraft of choice for the job.
The Boeing B-1 was a truly an innovative aircraft for the day. It sported a mono-hull design with a rear-facing engine and propeller. At the time, these types of planes were known as "pusher-style" flying boats.
The B-1 made its maiden voyage on 27 December 1919. It carried a pilot, two passengers, and mail cargo. Hubbard piloted this plane to deliver international mail between Vancouver, B.C., and Seattle. The hull of the plane was constructed of a wood laminate veneer, and the wings were created from plywood and spruce. This geek wonders how many of us would board a wood plane today. Would you climb aboard?

Barry Callebaut offers its customers new technical food solutions: Choc-a-like™ raises the bar for compounds
Photo set on Flickr
Choc-a-like- Barry Callebaut responds to increasing demand from professionals for chocolate solutions with more technical possibilities without compromising on look, feel and taste
- New Choc-a-like™ compound product portfolio provides chocolatiers, bakers and ice cream manufacturers with new creative possibilities and increased workability
Wieze/Belgium – June 12, 2014 – Barry Callebaut – the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products – presents Choc-a-likeTM, its extended range of compounds for professional bakers, ice cream manufacturers and chocolatiers. The Choc-a-likeTM product portfolio offers different flavors of smart compound solutions that combine the sensation of delicious chocolate taste, easy workability and perfect food appeal. The extended technical flexibility of Choc-a-likeTM products allows chocolate professionals to put their creative ideas into practice while increasing workability and minimizing production costs.
Barry Callebaut's Choc-a-like™ product range allows food processing professionals to go beyond the technical limits of regular chocolate while retaining an authentic chocolate taste, look and feel. In some specific cases, for example the creation of pralines, the making of pastry products or adding coatings to ice cream, working with chocolate can be technically very challenging. Possible issues include fat blooming or very complex processing.
The new Choc-a-like™ compounds offer the crack and shine of regular chocolate in a wide variety of textures for different mouth feel and taste experiences. Rapid cooling is possible as Choc-a-like™ compounds only require basic cooling methods: in most cases simply shock cooling is required. Excellent shrinking properties ensure easy unmolding and guarantee an appealing, deep gloss. Low melting points between 40 and 50°C allow for rapid processing. On top, shelf life can also be increased as Choc-a-likeTM compounds are less sensitive to fat bloom.
Choc-a-like™ compound coatings also improve chocolate-based ice cream concepts by allowing ultra-thin dipping without edge cracking, flexible enrobing and fine texture spraying. Bakery products like biscuits or pastries are another area where Choc-a-likeTM's properties excel. Choc-a-like™ compounds are available in different flavors and colors, ranging from caramel to strawberry as well as from white to dark color, depending on the intended end product.
Sofie De Lathouwer, Marketing Director Western Europe for Barry Callebaut states: "Choc-a-like™ compound products give our customers a significant competitive edge thanks to a broad array of technical possibilities and flexibility. This way, Barry Callebaut continues to be a partner in chocolate solutions for food professionals."

POSTED: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 - 9:00am
UPDATED: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 - 9:04am
CNN — Comedian Stephen Colbert will host a pair of high dollar fundraisers this month for his sister Elizabeth, who is vying for South Carolina's vacant seat in the U.S. Congress.
The events are slated to take place in New York and Washington, and carry a minimum price tag of $500, with special "event chair" tickets going as high as $10,000.
Elizabeth Colbert Busch - an official with Clemson University's wind turbine drive testing facility -- will be the Democratic name on the ballot in the May 7 general election.
Her Republican rival will be determined Tuesday in a runoff vote between former Gov. Mark Sanford and Curtis Bostic, a former Charleston city councilman.
Colbert Busch's brother has campaigned for her in the past, including hosting an event at a bowling alley.
In the invite to the Washington and New York events, Stephen Colbert writes that "Lulu and I have been through a lot together, and I know she is a bright, competent, caring woman who will work hard on behalf of all the citizens of South Carolina's 1st Congressional District."
He also calls Mark Sanford a "renewed hike-lover," a reference to the former governor's explanation of his absence from public life in 2009 as a hike on the Appalachian Trail.
It was later revealed he was carrying out an extramarital affair with a woman in Argentina.

My fella always has a comment or suggestion about my designs, but when I showed him the wall clock all he had to say was "I like it." So I think I must be on to something here.
Each wall clock is handmade of stainless steel and will not rust or tarnish over time. It will come with hands not pictured.
The metal is cut with tin snips, polished, and then heated for color. The metal is secured with aluminum rivets and care is taken to make sure there are no burs or sharp edges. The face of the clock is etched with a flex shaft to indicate the hours. The clock runs on a AA battery and the mechanism is made in the USA.
The dimensions of the clock are approximately 4 inches tall, and 7 inches wide, and will stand out from the wall at 3 inches. Due to the process of making each one separately there will be slight variations in the color, and size.
If you would like more than one let me know and I will be happy to make a reserved listing for you.
Every effort is made to ship your item within 3 business days via USPS.If you would like my work shipped to you somewhere outside the USA please contact me for rates. I am happy to look them up and see if it would be a good fit to ship to you.

Hospital Newsroom
AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn University announces the Dr. Robert Beaty, Jr. '43 Annual Memorial Scholarship in the College of Veterinary Medicine. The South Carolina Central Cattlemen's Association has contributed monies for the $1,000 annual scholarship for 10 years. Dr. Beaty practiced large animal medicine for over 50 years in Sumter County, S.C., until his death in March 1999. He received a premedicine degree from Clemson University before obtaining his doctorate of veterinary medicine from Auburn in 1943. "Dr. Beaty was well respected by the community," said Dr. Brandi Brunson of Auburn's College of Veterinary Medicine. "Dr. Beaty's love and compassion for animals, as well as the people he served, was one of his most outstanding features as a veterinarian. He was proud of his Auburn heritage and represented a living personification of the Auburn Creed." Dr. Brunson of Mayesville, S.C., received her D.V.M. from Auburn University in 2001 before completing a combined anatomic pathology residency/Ph.D. at the College of Veterinary Medicine. She cites Dr. Beaty as the reason she became a veterinarian. The Dr. Robert Beaty, Jr. '43 Annual Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a fourth-year Auburn veterinary student interested in food animal and equine medicine who intends to serve in these areas after graduation. Geographical preference will be given to qualified candidates from South Carolina followed by the Southeastern United States. The first scholarship is to be awarded in February 2013 during the college's annual scholarships and awards presentation. This past February almost $370,000 was awarded to over 145 veterinary students. Additional gifts in support of this or other College of Veterinary Medicine scholarships may be made through the Auburn University Foundation. Tax-deductible gifts may be made online at auburn.edu/giving, or through the other means of giving noted at develop.auburn.edu/how. The mission of the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine is to prepare individuals for careers of excellence in veterinary medicine, including private and public practice, industrial medicine, academics, and research. Through these efforts, the college will provide programs of instruction, research, outreach, and service that are in the best interests of the citizens of the state of Alabama, the region, the nation, and the world.

I heard John on this show and I wanted to briefly mention something that I believe directly relates to John's comments. John mentioned that contact with aliens could solve the mystery of alien life. You may already be aware of this but you might read Michael Tellenger's book, Slave Species of the Gods. It's based on the ancient clay tablets of the Sumerians and their translation by Sitchin and others. Tellenger's book covers the story of the Annunaki in much more detail than anything previous, that I'm aware of. It's a fantastic, epic, tale. The book is hard to put down. It sounds like a science fiction story, but created thousands of years ago. I liked it so much I've adopted one of the characters as my handle.
I have my own ideas about the Annunaki. The epic tale recorded by the Sumerians is a huge story and has some amazing implications for the human race.
Just to give you a taste... The first Annunaki who came to earth in search of gold landed and the first creature he encountered was a snake, a creature he'd never seen before. He adopted this creature as his symbol and later spawned the oldest cult on earth, the Cult of the Flying Serpant. That guy was Alalu.

The more "health-care reform" is scrutinized, the more rational Americans figure it out: It defies logic.
It is mathematically impossible to subsidize, pay for and provide health "insurance" and medical care to the millions of uninsured and have health care cost less than it does now.
That's just one of the flaws in this frightening attempt to have politicians control more of our lives. Read the following nine fallacies of health-care reform by Sheldon Richman of the Foundation for Economic Education.
You should be convinced afterward to call your congressman and senator with one demand: Vote "No!"
— Editor
The effort to reinvent medical care is so full of fallacies and bad logic that it would take volumes to expose them properly. Nevertheless, here are some of the obvious problems.
1. To begin, the "reformers" want to compel insurers to cover people who are already sick for the same price that healthy people pay. But if someone is already sick, no government plan to pay his medical bills can be called "insurance."
Insurance is a voluntary way to spread risk. Risk comes from uncertainty. But someone already sick doesn't face a risk that he might need medical attention for his ailment. He is certain to require the attention.
Indeed, there's a reason you can't buy homeowner's insurance after your house has burned down or life insurance for a deceased person. Why should one expect to be able to buy insurance to cover medical treatment for a disease one already has contracted?
2. When private donors voluntarily pay the bills, we call it charity or philanthropy or benevolence. When government pays them after extracting money by force from taxpayers or by requiring insurance companies to overcharge healthy people who are compelled to buy coverage, we should call it (at the very least) welfare.
If someone wants to defend medical welfare, let him do so. But don't let him get away with calling it insurance. He not only does violence to the language; he also clouds the discussion. This is another application of the tacit premise that no one should have to pay for his own medical care. Frederic Bastiat's line about the state being the means by which we all try to live at everyone else's expense comes to mind.
3. President Obama says he will finance "reform" by shifting Medicare reimbursement decisions from Congress to an independent board of experts.
Too bad he is unaware of the Austrian economic critique of central planning. Outside the marketplace, no one can know how much doctors and hospitals should be paid. Bureaucrats can't tell what is too much or little compensation because they can't have the relevant knowledge. Markets are good at setting prices because that knowledge is communicated through people's buying and abstention from buying.
This is not just an academic discussion. Prices are information, and when they are "wrong" there are consequences. If the bureaucrats pay too little, costs will be shifted to others and providers will leave the market, creating shortages. If the bureaucrats pay too much, resources and labor will be drawn away from other needed areas.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the continuing examples of Cuba and North Korea, we should all know that government doesn't know how to set prices.
4. Obama promises overall "cost containment." But government has only two ways to accomplish this: rationing or price controls.
The drawback to the first is obvious. People are forbidden to buy the services they want, even when they are willing to pay for them themselves. Bureaucrats — rather than individuals and their doctors — decide what tests and procedures are necessary.
The drawback to the second is that services will disappear from the marketplace. Price ceilings create shortages.
On the other hand, the market has a method for containing costs. It's called economizing, and people practice it naturally when they face the costs and consequences of their decisions.
People are less likely to buy unnecessary services if they have to pay for them. And if they were buying their own insurance, they wouldn't typically buy policies that covered smaller, routine expenses. The administrative overhead would make such policies a bad buy.
5. The New York Times points out that the reformers have two conflicting goals: "to expand health coverage to nearly all Americans while reducing the growth of health spending." How can they do both?
Obama goes back and forth between stressing universal coverage and cost containment, but he doesn't discuss one in relation to the other.
Newly subsidized coverage will bring new demand for medical services and put more upward pressure on prices. As noted, higher prices can be counteracted only by denying service (say, hip replacements for octogenarians) or by imposing price controls, overtly or covertly.
6. What is it government's business how much we spend on medical services? Government's only concern should be to eliminate the ways it interferes with and influences our choices. The aggregate cost of our freely chosen actions is our concern alone, not the government's.
But of course, government interferes with and influences our choices in many ways, and by doing so raises the costs. As President Obama said the other night, "[T]he biggest driving force behind our federal deficit is the skyrocketing cost of Medicare and Medicaid."
For once Obama was conceding that the government is at fault. Medicare and Medicaid are two ways the government forces the taxpayers to pay for medical care. Those who obtain their medical care through those programs have no incentive to economize because it's free to them.
That's why the budgets are out of control — people act rationally according to the incentive system they are in — and why Obama is looking for ways to control costs. As long as those programs exist, he won't be able control costs without bureaucratic rationing of services one way or another.
If the "reformers" get their way, something much like this failed system will be extended to the public.
7. Obama says two-thirds of the estimated cost of "reform" — at least $1.5 trillion over a decade — will be paid for "by reallocating money that is simply being wasted in federal health care programs." I wouldn't take seriously any of the reformers' numbers. The safe bet is that cost of the program will far exceed what they project, and most of the savings will never materialize. When Medicare was put together, the pooh-bahs projected that by 1990 hospitalization coverage would cost only (!) $9 billion. When 1990 arrived, the price tag read $66 billion.
The final third of cost would likely come from surtaxes on upper-income earners. Are high earners likely to stand still when targeted for new taxes? No. They will adjust their income-earning activities to minimize the tax take, and that will mean lower-than-projected revenues.
Then what? Taxes on the middle class, perhaps. Or more debt and inflation.
8. Does anyone else laugh when politicians promise that government will bring competition, choice and efficiency to the medical industry? Government routinely can't account for millions, even billions, of dollars.
And competition and choice? As a compulsory monopoly, government is the enemy of those things.
Competition and choice are what you get when the government backs off. You don't get them when government interjects itself even more into your life.
9. Finally, the way to rig a debate over public policy is never acknowledge the only genuine alternative to your proposal. Obama says, "I'm confident that when people look at the costs of doing nothing they're going to say, we can make this happen." Why is "doing nothing" the alternative to a conscious attempt to reinvent the healthcare industry?
While it is true that doing nothing would be preferable to what Obama and his congressional allies want to do, it is not the best alternative. The best alternative is the free market.
But have you ever heard the advocates of government control offer an argument against the free market?
The answer is no, and the reason is that to argue against it would be to acknowledge it as an alternative.
And that they cannot afford to do. Better to have the people think we already have a free market in medicine and that it has failed. That way they will be more likely to win support for government control.
The "reformers" task would be more difficult if people understood that what has created the problems is government, not the free market.
This effort to ignore the market solution is abetted by an alleged limited-government party that is unwilling or unable to speak the truth. That helps explain the predicament we are in.

- There are many people that can't afford health care so what we need to focus on is reducing the cost of health care not subsiding insurance.
Insurance should be used only in extreme circumstances not routine doctors visits or routine blood work. The way that you reduce health care cost is to reduce government interference in health NOT maximize it. We need to eliminate all taxes ( Federal, state,and local) on hospitals, nursing homes and doctors offices and reduce the cost of the regulatory burden these important parts of the medical establishment, but above all KEEP THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OUT OF HEALTH CARE! There isn't anything more expensive than a free government program.

- I could not agree with you more, and I was so happy to read your response to Bill Elias' August 27, 2009 letter to the editor . Keep up the good work.

- 1. People that are already sick still need insurance. There are exams and treatments necessary that can not be covered by most americans out of their own pocket. Having medical insurance is not to protect you from getting sick is to protect one from going broke from medical costs to stay healthy.
2. Insurance companies already overcharge for services. Look at Aetna's latest profit margin.
I would love to continue to address all the points but there is not enough time or space in this forum to debunk all of what is stated in the piece by Mr. Richman. What Irony that his last name and those scared of the proposed changes are one and the same.

LeBron dominated in a lockout year in which every team broke down over the course of the season. He won the Championship because he & his Heat teammates were the last men standing. Did he not run out of gas and look unable to beat a old Shawn Marion to the basket in the Finals last year? His 1 championship will have an asterisk until he proves he can do it over the course of a 82 game season. Because over his career he always ran out of gas after a full 82 game season + playoffs, even when his team was the odds on favorite.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) can market their services in a number of ways, it has been claimed.
According to Business 2 Community writer Chris Marocchi, SMBs have marketing resources available to them like never before, owing to continued technological innovation.
Such companies have a variety of tools at their disposal which can offer advantages from a marketing perspective, he noted.
Mr Marocchi explained that there are different types of small business marketing tools which can assist companies.
These include strategy and problem solving solutions, and those designed to help firms capitalise on the opportunities presented by social media, he noted.
SMBs can also use blogging and website-building tools to establish a stronger online presence, while contact management and lead prospecting is also easier online.
Mr Marocchi said there is still a place for traditional networking, which he suggested can be the most effective way to build relationships.
He claimed that these different types of marketing resources should prove useful to SMBs as they look to grow their businesses in 2013.
Earlier this month, Tariq Khwaja, principal consultant at TK Associates, said it is important for SMB leaders to think about how they pitch their business to potential customers.
They need to consider the message they are aiming to get across through their marketing material, she claimed.

I see all of us need some info on how to deal with each other. I myself have said things in anger and been roped in pointless arguments. The fact I have figured out is that no one here is going to change their minds on issues. So please do not attempt (it just ends badly). I came here for exchanging ideas and good websites for UFO, Aliens, Theories ect. What i didnt expect was being in arguments about gays, religion, who was better in office.......So i failed to foresee my own behavior in these arguments. My entire life is spent debating things i have come believe in in human behavior. Its no vacation for me to be here doing it. I have realized i might have some self control issues in this arena.
anyway what have you learned about yourself in this situation? Do you think anyone even comes here for UFO or paranormal related chat anymore??
What can we do as a board to be better?

Diana Nyad, 64, walks toward shore Sept. 2 after completing her 53-hour, historic swim from Cuba to Florida -- the first on record without a shark cage. She's among a variety of older athletes running ultra-marathons, scaling mountains and otherwise putting the rest of us to shame:
Herschel Walker (51) -- An 11-year stint in the NFL apparently wasn't enough for Walker, who's now a mixed martial arts fighter at age 51. In his MMA debut in 2010, he defeated Greg Navy via technical knock-out.
Sister Madonna Buder (83) -- Known as the "Iron Nun," she holds the record for being the oldest person to finish an Ironman triathlon. She's participated in at least 35 Ironmans and hundreds of other races.
Martina Navratilova (56) -- A tennis legend already, she won a mixed doubles championship at the U.S. Open just shy of her 50th birthday and won the senior doubles title at Wimbledon at the age of 53. At 55, she went outside of her comfort zone and competed on "Dancing With The Stars."
Merlene Ottey (53) -- She's been to the Olympics more than any other track and field athlete in history (seven times) and in 2010, Ottey became the oldest athlete ever to compete in the European Athletics Championships. There, she shattered her previous record for fastest 100 meters by a female over 50.
Nolan Shaheed (64) -- In 2010, he became the first person over 60 to run a mile in under five minutes. To put that in perspective, the average 60-year-old runs about a 14-minute mile, while a fit 15-year-old should be able to do it in about six minutes.
Willie Gault (52, left) -- A former NFL star, Gault set world records in his 50-to-54 age group in the 100- and 200-meter dashes in 2011, clocking in at 10.88 and 22.44, respectively.
Yuichiro Miura (80) -- This Japanese mountain climber, who's had four heart surgeries, became the oldest person to scale Mount Everest earlier in 2013. He first accomplished the feat in 2003 and repeated it five years later too.
BKS Iyengar (94) -- The founder of Iyengar yoga, he's considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the world and can still bend his body any which way he wants to.
Dara Torres (46) -- Not only has Torres competed in five different Olympics (spanning from 1984 to 2008), at 41 she became the oldest swimmer ever to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in Beijing. At the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials, she placed fourth in the 50-meter freestyle, just 0.32 of a second behind the winner, Jessica Hardy.
Dean Karnazes (51) -- In 2006 he completed 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days, doing one marathon in each of the 50 states. His final marathon was the New York Marathon, which he completed in an impressive 3 hours and 30 seconds.
Dick Hoyt (73) -- He's completed more than 1,000 different athletic events, including 68 marathons, 240 triathlons and six Ironmans, all while towing his 51-year-old son Rick, who has cerebral palsy, along for the ride.
Eileen Philippa 'Phil' Raschker (66) -- This accountant holds 68 gold medals at the World Masters Athletics Championships and 22 World Masters Records for both outdoor and indoor events, and is considered one of the best athletes in the world. She's also a two-time Sullivan Award finalist.
Ernestine Shepherd (76) -- She is the oldest competitive female bodybuilder in the world, as declared by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010 and 2011.
Fauja Singh (102) -- He was in his 80s when he took up marathoning because he felt "more dead than alive" after his wife died. At the age of 102, he's still going strong. In January 2013, he took part in the Mumbai Marathon.

An Ancient Aliens segment talks about arm made of silver, which was said to be like a modern prosthetic. This got me wondering, what if Human civilization is far older than is currently known? That there was one equal to or greater than our own. This could explain the various mysteries without requiring an "aliens did it" explanation.
Some examples could be:
* Pyramids around the world could have been from commonplace long distance travel.
* The above mentioned prosthetic arm.
* Indian texts describing nuclear power being used in weapons or power plants.
* The Sphinx aligning with the constellation Leo, which requires it to be older than general accepted.
* Atlantis being said to have been a major power but little if anything remains.
What else could there be?

Drug Notes

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance called a tracer to look for disease in the body.
A PET scan shows how organs and tissues are working. This is different than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), which show the structure of and blood flow to and from organs,
Related tests include:
Positron emission tomography
A PET scan uses a small amount of radioactive material (tracer). The tracer is given through a vein (IV), most often on the inside of your elbow. The tracer travels through your blood and collects in organs and tissues. This helps the radiologist see certain areas of concern more clearly.
You will need to wait nearby as the tracer is absorbed by your body. This takes about 1 hour.
Then, you will lie on a narrow table that slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner. The PET detects signals from the tracer. A computer changes the signals into 3-D pictures. The images are displayed on a monitor for your doctor to read.
You must lie still during test. Too much movement can blur images and cause errors.
How long the test takes depends on what part of the body is being scanned.
You may be asked not to eat anything for 4 - 6 hours before the scan. You will be able to drink water.
Tell your health care provider if:
Always tell your health care provider about the medicines you are taking, including those bought without a prescription. Sometimes, medications may interfere with the test results.
You may feel a sharp sting when the needle with the tracer is placed into your vein.
A PET scan causes no pain. The table may be hard or cold, but you can request a blanket or pillow.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax.
A PET scan can reveal the size, shape, position, and some function of organs.
This test can be used to:
Several PET scans may be taken over time to check how well you are responding to treatment for cancer or another illness.
A normal result means there were no problems seen in the size, shape, or position of an organ. There are no areas in which the tracer has abnormally collected.
Abnormal results depend on the part of the body being studied. Abnormal results may be due to:
The amount of radiation used in a PET scan about the same amount as for most CT scans. Short-lived tracers are used so the radiation is gone from your body in about 2-10 hours.
Tell your doctor before having this test if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Infants and babies developing in the womb are more sensitive to radiation because their organs are still growing.
Rarely, people may have an allergic reaction to the tracer material. Some people have pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site.
It is possible to have false results on a PET scan. Blood sugar or insulin levels may affect the test results in people with diabetes.
Most PET scans are now performed along with a CT scan. This combination scan is called a PET/CT.
