Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. Max likes to chew but fortunately he does not take his habit out on my furniture or shoes; he is completely satisfied with the big rawhide bones that I give him. I buy a 3 pack and he goes through them like a hot knife through butter…so I thought that a ham bone would be just the thing to last more than a few days. I had cooked a big pot of soup beans and put in a big ham-bone shank for added flavor. After the soup was finished, I washed off the bone and gave it Max before I left for work. This bone was at least 10 inches long and thick as my forearm, so it was to my great surprise on my return from work, that the only thing left of that bone was a few small fragments by the sliding glass door. Makes my teeth hurt just thinking about all of the gnawing, grinding, and crunching. Glad I was at work and out of earshot.
"It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves." Francois De La Rochefoucauld
A police officer stopped an elderly lady's car for speeding. Upon reviewing her license and other paperwork he noticed that she had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. The police officer asked her if she had a weapon in her posession at this time, and she replied she had a .45 automatic in her glove compartment. The officer asked her if that was the only weapon in her car, to which she replied, "Well I do have a 9mm Glock under the seat and a short nosed .38 in my purse." The officer asked with a bit of concern, "What are you afraid of?" She looked the officer in the eye and responded, "Not a dang thing!"
Overheard: "It is just amazing how the idiot who married my precious daughter can be the father of the smartest and cutest grandchildren in the world."
A young boy, doing what a young boy will do, was running around the house when he tripped and hurt his knee. Crying up a storm his mother picks him up and wipes away his tears. "You know Tommy that you are very lucky you did not break a bone. Your guardian angel must have been watching over you." From the background his older sister yells, "I bet that guardian angel has bags under her eyes from the lack of sleep."
Max is smacking his lips, so I should refill his bone bowl. As always be good, play safe, and remember to be wise in all things.
JR and Max

The curtains have been removed, the device has been unmasked and the specifications have been announced. We were pretty much well informed about this new Motorola Droid that has become the part of the Razr family. Remember the impressive invitation that Motorola sent to out to it's well wishers? Yes, the Faster, Thinner, Smarter, Stronger event has come to an end and the questions answered.
Motorola's new toy, the Droid RAZR, is now official and part of the very famous RAZR family, one of the hottest selling products of the century. However, this particular RAZR doesn't have the traditional flip mechanism, but darn it's slim. Motorola is claiming that their new Droid Razr is the thinnest smartphone in the world with a thinness of just 7.1 mm. That's of course at it's thinnest point, because it does have a slight bulge on the top and thus look kind of similar to the Droid X. It also does live up to it's other characters such as 'Faster', 'Stronger' and 'Smarter'.
The Droid RAZR, is made of Kevlar fiber for maximum strength and corning Gorilla glass for scratch and fall resistant display. It has a 4.3 inch qHD Super AMOLED Display that's surely not going to fit in some hands. It runs Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 and has some nano coating of some sort that makes the phone water resistant. The internal hardware consists of a dual core 1.2 Ghz processor, an 8 megapixel camera that can do 1080p video recording, has 1GB of RAM and lots of storage(32 gig).
Apart from that, you may also dwell yourself in a rather big basket of accessories that include the Lapdock, earphones, Bluetooth attachments, wireless keyboards and more. There's also a rather interesting Cloud feature that comes with is phone, called Moto Cast. Using this, you can wirelessly stream all your photos, videos, music and data from your laptop to the phone. Doesn't improve security, but does the job.
Sanjay Jha, Chairman and CEO, Motorola Mobility stated;
DROID RAZR by Motorola is a testament to the innovation and design possibilities that stem from a strong partnership between Motorola Mobility and Verizon Wireless. We set out to design the best smartphone on the planet and delivered DROID RAZR which is thinner, smarter, stronger than any device on the market.
According to the press release, the Droid Razr will be out next month and available on Verizon for $299. Pre-orders for the phone begin October 27 and can be done by visiting this link www.droiddoes.com/droidrazr.

Bouchon Bakery, Yountville
Yountville, CA, 94599 , United States
Thomas Keller, the famed restaurateur who made the small town of Yountville in Napa a culinary destination, opened this casual bakery as a way to service the bread and pastry needs of his neighboring restaurants French Laundry and Bouchon Bistro. Locations have since grown nationally with Keller's continually emerging empire; and thus, this store's baking operations have been trusted to Janine Weismann, who fills a glass case at the forefront of the store with that day's treats of scones, lemon tarts, and seasonally changing macarons. Interior seating is limited, so a gravel-laden patio is made available to enjoy breakfast and lunch.
Insider Tip:
In September of 2011, the bakery was damaged due to a fire. Though it has reopened with the same recognizable French doors and yellow awning, only a limited selection of baked goods are currently served.

ADDRESS OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II Mr Ambassador, 1. I am pleased to welcome Your Excellency as you present the Letters accrediting you as Ambassador of France to the Holy See. In your address, which particularly touched me, you show the trust that marks your country's relations with the Holy See. I thank you for speaking on behalf of the President of the French Republic, and I would be grateful if you would kindly convey my respectful greetings to him. I would like to greet all your compatriots, especially those who are experiencing personal, family or social hardships. In particular, I have not forgotten the many homes and businesses which are still suffering from the disasters that struck your national territory last winter. May everyone be assured of my spiritual closeness! Through you, I would like once again to extend a cordial and affectionate greeting to the pastors and faithful of your country's Catholic community. As I look forward to the next World Youth Day, I remember the efforts they made for the previous gathering, which bore many fruits; I encourage them to continue their spiritual mission and their involvement in society out of love for their brothers and sisters. For this they will be recognized as the servants of all, in that love which is characteristic of Christ's disciples. 2. In a few weeks your country will be assuming the presidency of the European Union for a six-month term in this year when we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the political agreement of 9 May 1950, an agreement desired by Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman, your compatriots, and by Konrad Adenauer, which gave rise to a new situation in Europe. I appreciate the spirit which you mention and in which the French authorities wish to accomplish their mission at the service of Europe. It falls to your country to continue the direction of difficult work sites, to respond concretely to the concerns and immense expectations not only of the inhabitants of the European continent but also of all their partners in the world who need help for their own development. The European Union is both a venture and a challenge; it opens the door to a future of peace and solidarity and to ever closer collaboration between the continent's different countries and with the whole world. It is important that the institutions and invididuals called to exercise responsibility at every level always be concerned for the common good of the community of nations, by carrying out their mission as a service to their peoples, while respecting the rules of equity, justice and probity essential to every human being but especially to those who work for the res publica. In this way it will be possible to restrain the hidden networks which seek to profit from the great European market, in order to launder money from all kinds of trafficking unworthy of man, particularly from drugs, the arms trade and the exploitation of people, especially women and children. Resources, wealth and the fruits of development on the continent should be able to be allocated to the poorest people in the various countries, to the nations that are in need of further development and are still scarred today by the consequences of the economic recession and fluctuations in the financial markets. These challenges, as well as the battle against unemployment and the protection of the environment, to mention but a few, imply that Europe must not be built primarily as a community of interests, but as one based on values and mutual trust, putting man at the centre of all struggles. All the vital forces of the nations are called to work for the good of all, taking care, in the different countries, to form the younger generation, which has high ideals as they showed in Paris at the last World Youth Day, so that when the time comes they can assume their share of responsibility. In this spirit, it is the duty of countries with a tradition of training in business management and civic life to offer their assistance to the nations emerging from a long period of isolation, to help their citizens acquire the political maturity indispensable to public life. It is also important to develop an ever greater European consciousness in our contemporaries which, mindful of peoples' roots, mobilizes them to form a community of destiny through a political will which seeks to unite them. This perspective will become reality only if greater importance is given to a global vision of man and society, which your country can promote by relying on its tradition, especially on the great thinkers and social leaders who have marked the 20th century and breathed a new spirit into it, thus helping to create a common culture. 3. You have just mentioned the question of human rights, to which your compatriots are very sensitive, thereby showing their attention to what is essential for individuals and for the national community. Human rights, in fact, are the foundation for the recognition of the human being and for social cohesion. It is first of all up to the public institutions to guarantee "effectively the rights of the human person, rights which flow directly from our natural dignity and, for this reason, are universal, inviolable and inalienable" (John XXIII, Encyclical Pacem in terris, n. IV). Among these rights, the right to life is essential, as is respect for life and the support of the family, the basic cell of society.
The lengthening of life also requires special attention for the elderly, so that they can live in decent conditions and benefit from the necessary care and support until the natural end of their lives. In fact, how could individuals in a nation trust one another, if they were not guaranteed what is everyone's most precious possession, i.e., his own life, which cannot be subjected simply to criteria of efficiency and profitability or to purely arbitrary decisions? In the name of human rights it is a country's duty and an honour for its institutions to support and defend every human being against whatever belittles his dignity and rights and to provide him with spiritual, human and material aid, so that everyone can have a happy and dignified life and no one will be marginalized. In this regard, I am aware of your compatriots' devotion to the defence and dignity of children. Many associations are working to that effect. I can only encourage them to continue their efforts, especially so that every child can be born, enjoy a family with a father and mother who will help him grow personally, form balanced and balancing human relationships and not be subject to shameful exploitation.
6. Among the many missions awaiting you and which you have just recalled, you must continue the work undertaken by your predecessor to accommodate French-speaking pilgrims during the Great Jubilee and to foster the development and vitality of the French community. In this regard, I would like to repeat to you how much I appreciate your embassy's involvement in the preparations for World Youth Day, to be held this coming August, and I salute the investments made so that the young people can derive much benefit from this important spiritual and ecclesial time. This action shows the attention that your country's authorities pay to France's active presence in Rome and throughout the world, in line with what has been done by your compatriots who down the centuries have actively spread culture and faith to all the continents. As you officially begin your mission, I offer you, Mr Ambassador, my best wishes. I can assure you that my assistants will endeavour to give you and all the members of your embassy the help you may need. I ask God to support the people of France so that they will find true happiness and will continue to work generously for peace and understanding among their compatriots and among all peoples. I willingly impart my Apostolic Blessing to you, to your loved ones and to all those who are called to work with you. *L'Osservatore Romano.

The Beta Beta Psi Chapter has prepared a document that answers many of the questions new and potential members might have.
What is PTK? (PDF, 83 KB)
Phi Theta Kappa membership is based on academic achievement. Students must be enrolled in a regionally accredited institution offering an associate degree program, must complete a minimum of 12 hours coursework leading to an associate degree, and must enjoy full rights of citizenship. Each chapter determines the cumulative grade point average that must be achieved in order to become a member of that chapter as well as that which must be maintained to retain membership status. Beta Beta Psi Chapter requires a 3.5 grade point average for membership and members must maintain a 3.5 cumulative grade point thereafter.
International students are welcome to become members. They must meet the eligibility standards listed above, including full rights of citizenship in their country.
Most chapters accept part-time members who meet all the eligibility requirements. For Beta Beta Psi Chapter, part-time students who meet the eligibility requirements and are enrolled in at least one course are considered current members.
The Beta Beta Psi Chapter extends invitations to students who meet the eligibility requirements.
Participation in chapter activities is not a requirement for membership. Phi Theta Kappa's Constitution requires only that a member achieve and maintain a certain grade point average. Beta Beta Psi realizes three types of membership: Regular, Enhanced, and Alumni. Our chapter encourages its membership to become Enhanced Members which entails earning service hours for unpaid service to the college, community, and Phi Theta Kappa, as well as participation in Phi Theta Kappa activities. Enhanced members enjoy the benefits of regular members and additional letters of recommendation from advisors, invitations to the Holiday Party and Annual Banquet, a Certificate of Enhanced Membership. a Phi Theta Kappa stole and tassel for graduation, and Enhanced Member T-shirt and a Phi Theta Kappa sweatshirt, depending upon the number of semesters one has achieved Enhanced Member status.
The total amount one must pay to become a member is $70.00. This includes $55.00 for international membership, $5.00 for regional dues, and $10.00 for our local chapter. Dues are a one time payment; life-time membership.

If you have previous or existing debt problems, then obtaining a bank account has been very difficult, if not impossible, in the past. Your credit record will often mean that you fail the traditional credit scoring test (based largely on information about your financial history supplied by a credit reference agency) and that your application is turned down. You therefore miss out on the important benefits that holding a current account can offer.
The Government set a deadline of October 2000 for the banks to make a "basic bank account" available to the public. This should mean that even if you have debt problems you'll be able to open a current account. The idea of the "basic bank account" is that it should provide the basic banking services to anyone, including those with problematic credit records.
Holding a Bank Account
There are some important benefits and advantages available to you by holding a bank account:
- provides a route to many other banking services
- helps you to build up a banking history
- enables you to make automated payments (e.g. pay your electricity bill by direct debit). This means you can take advantage of the discounts often offered if you pay by this method, so you save money
- budgeting is easier as you can spread payments out on a monthly basis if you can pay by direct debit
- cashing personal cheques can be difficult and expensive if you don't have a bank account
Compare the features of the basic bank accounts
- Fee free
- Free automated transactions (e.g. direct debit/standing order)
- Cash card for use at cash machines
- Phone banking available
- No overdraft facility
If you have a problematic credit record then you would be best to try either Bank of Scotland Easycash Account or Lloyds TSB Bank Account. Bank of Scotland does not make a credit history check on applications for the Easycash Account. Lloyds TSB's Bank Account is available to anyone regardless of credit rating, but not if you have been declared bankrupt.
The others are far less clear as to who they will allow to have an account with them and who they will turn down. Barclays say that their Cash Card Account is available to people who would normally be excluded from holding an account using standard criteria. If you have CCJs or a poor credit rating then you won't automatically be excluded but the personal banker at the branch may decline your application in some circumstances.
The winning Bank Account
The overall leader just has to be the Bank of Scotland's Easycash Account which already has 130,000 customers. They really seem to have thought out and addressed the real concerns of customers who will use this account. Most of the other banks give the impression that they are doing the minimum necessary to comply with the Government deadline, and are not really interested beyond that.
The Bank of Scotland's Easycash Account was launched in March 1998 and was the first of these type of accounts in the UK. It was recently given an award by the European Institute of Financial Services for the work that the Bank has done in tackling financial exclusion by launching this account. As well as the facilities set out above, it offers the following additional benefits:
- A built in £10 buffer facility allows customers to access all the cash in their account from a cash machine – good if you're budgeting tightly
- A bank card which can be used to make purchases in the same way as Switch but without the risk of going overdrawn – the account balance is automatically checked each time
Just one example of the 130,000 people holding an Easycash Account is Mr X, who has three children. He was made bankrupt when his business failed and his existing bank account was frozen. He was still working with a charity from which he earned a monthly salary. When he tried to open an account, a number of banks turned him down. However, he was able to open an Easycash Account with Bank of Scotland, lessening the disruption and problems faced by him and his family.
We would be interested to hear about your experiences, good or bad, when applying for a bank account. Please post your thoughts and ideas on our Forum.

WASHINGTON — In what will likely come as a blow to an industry still reeling from the recent public outcry over "pink slime," John Clifford, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief veterinarian, confirmed on Tuesday that a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or "mad cow disease," has been confirmed in a dairy cow at a central California rendering facility. The cow's meat did not enter the food chain. This marks the fifth confirmed instance of the brain-wasting disease in North America during the past 20 years, and the most recent since Clifford confirmed a case at a Texas facility in 2005.

Weight of the Nation Campaign
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have joined HBO, Kaiser Permanente and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation in launching a new national campaign to curb obesity rates. According to a January 13, 2012, IOM "The Weight of the Nation" initiative aims to "shed light on the facts and myths of this urgent public health issue and explore how obesity is impacting our nation and health care system."

Voices rang out in song Sunday at Second New Hope Baptist Church to honor 13 African-American veterans from Spotsylvania County.
This is the seventh year the Spotsylvania church has honored members of the community as part of its Black History Month celebrations.
This year's theme was "Look Where the Lord Hath Brought Us From."
On hand as guest speaker was U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, who recognized each veteran for their service. The veterans were selected by members of the Spotsylvania Sunday School Union. They had served in World War II, Korea or Vietnam.
The honorees were William Taylor, Benjamin Fletcher, James Rubin, Lewis Terrell, Stanley Moss Jr., Sam Fairchild, Booker T. Ross (deceased), Frank Henry Cole, David Duncan Sr., Sam Parker, Lewis Rollins, Layton Fairchild Sr., Paul Lewis and Percy Lewis.
Speakers recalled the time when blacks could not serve in the military and expressed gratitude to all those who served their country.
Warner recalled that during his first year as governor, he took a walk with his young daughter and she noted that there were only statues of old white men and none of Rosa Parks.
Warner later helped see to it that a statue of Barbara Johns, a leader in the civil rights movement from Prince Edward County, was erected near the Governor's Mansion. He said its location means that all governors will walk past it as they enter and leave the mansion.
"It reminds us that while we have come a long way, we have a long way to go," he said.
Other speakers included Spotsylvania Schools Superintendent Scott Baker, Cleo Coleman of the Sunday School Union, and several local pastors.
Coleman expressed gratitude to the veterans in attendance and reflected on the origins of Black History Month, when it was just a weeklong celebration.
The Courtland High School choir sang "America the Beautiful," as well as a song for each branch of the military as a tribute to the veterans, which brought the veterans of their respective branches to their feet.
The Mount Zion Baptist Church choir sang several times throughout the service as attendees clapped, sang along and danced to the music.
Also made reference to was Spotsylvania County's John J. Wright Educational and Cultural Center. The museum has an exhibit about the history of educating black children in Spotsylvania.
The 23rd Infantry Colored Troops opened and closed the event. The 23rd, a contingent of the Union Army, was the first black regiment to fight in directed combat against Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.

Appliance Engineer - Technology Report Color Sensing Made Easy
A color sensor kit helps design engineers easily identify colors beyond the human visual spectrum.
Designed to simplify the process of color identification, TT Electronics Optek Technology (Carrollton, TX, US; www.optekinc.com) introduced a color sensor evaluation kit that includes the OPB780-Kit evaluation board and the OPB780 color sensor. "With the addition of the evaluation board, the design engineer can easily utilize the color sensor with minimal design effort," says Bob Procsal, senior applications engineer. "Just install the software onto your computer, plug in the evaluation board using a standard USB connection, and start the program. The output frequencies for each filter configuration are displayed on the monitor screen."
With operating temperatures ranging from –30° to 85°C, the color sensor is suited for applications that will benefit from accurate color identification, such as pill sorting machinery, ink or paper color detection for office machines, or color printer calibration sensors. "For washers or dishwashers, the manufacturer can ensure that the proper soap and softener or spot remover is being used," says Procsal. The sensor can also identify the turbidity of discharge solution by checking the color.
The OPB780 color sensor has four different frequencies relating directly to a specific color seen by the sensor. Housed in a small, lightweight package, the color sensor uses a programmable light-to-frequency convertor that combines 64 configurable silicon photodiodes and a current-to-frequency convertor on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. The photodiode array consists of 16 green, clear, red, and blue filter diodes. All 16 photodiodes that have the same color filter are connected in parallel, while all 64 photodiodes are 120 × 120 μm in size and are on 144 μm centers.
The OPB780 Kit's photodiode is designed to recognize ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelengths. "The maximum sensitivity wavelength is in the 850-nm range," explained Procsal. "The device has filters to optimize the sensitivity in the blue, green, and red areas of the visible spectra. The clear filter is used if customers would like to see the sensitivity across the full spectrum between around 300 to around 1100 nm."
According to Procsal, one design challenge encountered during the development of the color sensor was determining how to maintain a consistent amount of visible illumination on the object to be evaluated. The problem was resolved by utilizing a visible daylight white LED as the illumination source. "Repeatability of sensing color is dependent on the ability to keep all the environmental conditions as close as possible. As temperature or the light source changes, the realization of color changes. This is the same as with the human eye," Procsal tells APPLIANCE. "The OPB780 is designed to minimize this concern with the integration of a daylight white LED into the device."

To say we were happy with the HD 5870 Vapor-X model from Sapphire would be a bit of an understatement, its fancy new cooling and small bumps in core and memory clocks made it a great card.
At the same time the HD 5870 Vapor-X was launched, the new mid range HD 5750 was released into the same series. While we're not expecting the same "WOW" factor from the HD 5750, we expect this model to carry with it better cooling numbers compared to the standard HD 5750. This shouldn't be too hard, though, since the main emphasis on the Vapor-X series is the cooling.
The HD 5750 Vapor-X from Sapphire is only the third card to get run through our new benchmark line up. This time around due to the model being a mid range one, how we test is going to be a little different; we'll talk more about that under our test system setup. For now, we'll have a quick look at the package before having a closer look at the card itself.

American Atheist group calls for Christians to be eradicated.
"The atheist community gets angry when we read about the antics of idiotic, ignorant and imbicillic [spelling his] politicians and celebrities like Palin, Bachmann, Beck, Limbaugh, Pawlenty and Santorum. We post our thoughts on our social networks and our blogs and try to expose these creeps for exactly what they are. Most of the GOP, just about all of the Tea Party movement and even some Democrats and Independents should be ashamed of themselves for going out in public wearing the equivalent of an intellectual diaper. We criticize them for their rejection of science in favor of their fairy tales and write our letters and support our advocate organizations when our legal rights are abrogated.
But the underbelly of fundamentalist Christianity and radical Islam does not operate in the legal system. They don't respond to lawsuits, letters, amicus briefs or other grass-roots campaigns and they must, must, must be eradicated. Al Stefanelli, American Atheists' Georgia State Director
Well Mr. Stefanelli your freedom to be you also includes my freedom to be free from you. The Constitution defends your Religious freedom. It does not guarantee your right to be free from Religion.
As long as I don't push my Religion down your throat why is it you feel compelled to push your Religion down mine?
Stay out of my business and I will stay out of yours. Simple is it not?
If you look carefully at the quote and the original blog, Stefanelli is calling for the eradication of fundamentalist Christianity and radical Islam, which he sees as responsible for abortion clinic bombings, airplanes being flown into buildings and people being tortured for blasphemy, witchcraft, etc. I don't think he wants Christians to be killed.
By the way, the Constitution does indeed give you the freedom to not be religious, if that's what you choose.
Religious extremism can be pretty scary. I think I'll just stay away from it.
When was the last time a witch was burned in the United States?
Oh never mind that was Christine O'Donnell in the last election cycle...Never mind.
When was the last time a witch was burned in the United States?
fear of "witches" is still prevalent... thankfully, not so much in the U.S.
what I get from "they must, must, must be eradicated" is the hardcore beliefs, NOT INDIVIDUALS.
I also don't want to be told what I must do, how I must think, which Deity I must believe in.
If the fundamentalist get their way, it will no longer be the Land of the Free.
Isn't America suppose to be a melting pot? Different people from different places with different views.
How can you have that with "One Nation Under God"
of the Christian belief in this Country but garner 90% of the hysteria from the atheist.
Does the cross on my Church offend you? To bad.
How about the one in my neighborhood cemetery? Tough.
How about it mu own yard? Nope not going to take it down.
You see you guys don't have a "Right" to be free from Religion you do have the right to not practice it however. Congratulations. You don't live in an Islamic society because if you decided you were not going to participate there you would just be stoned and I don't mean the California stoned either.
As history has shown, it only takes one individual to do great harm to others. And the "hysteria" would be rightly justified when it comes to these groups.
Why would I have a problem with the placement of a horizontal line on top of a vertical one? You can put it anywhere you want on YOUR property (according to local laws of course). It does not belong in the government or on public grounds.
As some say, the majority of Americans are Christians and believe this is a Christian nation. Whites are also a majority. So what if, instead of the word GOD. They used the words WHITE PEOPLE. So the currency would say "in white people we trust" & the pledge "one nation of white people". See how that would offend others that are not part of that group.
I have a problem with laws that are based on or influence by a Religion, that is what I meant about Religion being pushed upon all. There are already too many and depending on our next President, could be many more to come.
By the way, if we did live in an Islamic society. You would have been brought up praising Allah not Yahweh. So yes, I am Blessed that I was born in this country. A country that doesn't have religious laws so embedded into the government that I can speak freely about my thoughts and shouldn't worry about death threats because my views don't coincide with one's dogma

Our laws are based off of Religious principles and you can not simply ignore that.
SOME of our laws happen to be about principles, religious or not.
Some are not.
I have trouble with water-boarding and many other tortures.
I have trouble with most killings by the state or any one else.
I have trouble with Hypocrisy, and many of our Christian idols are guilty over and over.
I have trouble with religious leaders covering up moral problems of their underlings.
I have trouble with the treatment of some humans due to being different.
On and On!
Your personal rights as an individual are protected...have your crosses. But OUR government's promotion and endorsement of the Christian religion at government meetings, public schools, on currency, etc is not constitutional. If the Constitution plainly says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." why do so many have a problem with the need to keep church and state separate? Our country is not a mob rule democracy...the side with the most supporters don't get to force their viewpoint on the rest of us. If the percentage of atheists amounts to one percent or less than that, it doesn't make a difference. The law should be the law. Not having "In God We Trust" on your money or car tags doesn't make you any less a Christian...if you need government sponsorship to affirm your Christianity, you may need to go back and read that "good" book again and ask yourself "what would Jesus do?"
The Second Amendment grants the right to bear arms...but the government doesn't promote Glocks or Kimbers or Rugers. Why should it promote Christianity over Judaism or Islam or Scientology?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
At a government meeting if the pray it is because they can but you omitted that portion. ..prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The are not creating a new law. Show me where it is not constitutional.
jeez kimberly, you need to get in touch with the Chaplains of the Senate & House and let them know they can't open Congressional sessions with a prayer anymore--I'm sure they'd appreciate you sharing that piece of info!
"Our country is not a mob rule democracy...the side with the most supporters don't get to force their viewpoint on the rest of us."
You may want to go get some facts to back this up, last time I checked most Americans are very proud of the fact that we are a democracy and that we intend to spread democracy throughout the world, by force if necessary.
You are correct that democracy is mob rule, or as T. Jefferson wrote:
"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."
Oh, puh...leez. Get yourself some good meds...a mood stabilizer comes to mind.
...the underbelly of fundamentalist Christianity and radical Islam must, must, must be eradicated.
for example, the underbelly being abortion clinic bombers, and those who murder abortion doctors, the Westboro Baptist church crazies, people like Jim Jones (Jonestown) and David Caresh, Pastor Warren Jeffs the child rapist, pedophile Catholic priests. All the Islamic terrorists. Tell me Observor, why shouldn't these fundamentalist doctrines be eradicated?
There is so much that could be said to observerofu but I doubt that they would listen, hear or PROPERLY READ. I will stick to one point and that is the fact that MR. Stefanelli is NOT calling for the eradication of christianity. Quite simply, what is being stated and what should be very obvious to anyone of common sense, is that FUNDAMENTALISM in any form is dangerous and should be, if possible, be eradicated. That is all. Now, when one goes around and twists and misquotes someone's verbiage it is easily misconstrued and that becomes dangerous. That is when u need to be observed in my opinion.
And another thing, the constitution does guarantee freedom of religion and therefore freedom from religion if one should choose to do so. Do not push your or any religion down anyone's throat either at a town hall meeting, a city sponsored 'remembrance' event, a sporting event or at a school....Stay out of my business and I will stay out of yours. Simple is it not?
where it says you have freedom FROM Religion?
So if one person objects that one person get's to decide? You know you don't like a prayer before an event don't participate. Stay seated or play your Ipod either way you have a choice.
Check the first amendment.
There is to be no connection between church and state. We can't have a Muslim President praying six times a day on the White House Lawn and it has no Wailing Wall. No Buddha. No snake handler in the Rotunda!
Any government official of course can make any decision for which he is authorized considering his own personal religion, but any kind of worship to a Creator or otherwise causes problems. Praying to Christ at an official function is worshipping.
I know we do it now at some functions, but it causes trouble.
We have fought many wars over religion in the state, millions have been killed and maimed over that.
Will we never learn that religion is a private affair.
OoU I think you hit the nail on the head. Why does a small few get to decide for the masses? This country is majority rule unless the majority is harming the few. And to me if someone stands next to me and prays he is not harming me in any way. I am not being forced to take part. That is my right. So it is also my right to take part if I choose. It is not my right to choose for others or deny them their right to choose. Next election lets not elect our leaders by majority. Lets let the smallest group pick them for the rest of us so that they are not offended.
Could not have said it better myself. I love it when someone wants to use the argument that that Christians reject science in favor of "fairy tales". While science can not prove that there is a God, it also can not prove that there is not one. That makes it a matter of faith. As it was intended to be. Even Einstein and Stephen Hawkin leave the door open.
I don't give a ratz azz what religion people practice, just don't freakin' legislate it for crying out loud.
Those foolish pagans.
God is on our side.
Well, close but not quite on target. 1st Amendment forbids Congress from making laws that would establish a national religion But also guarantees FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of religion.
What it does not provide is for any religion to use the U.S. Government as a tool to further its religion or impose its religion on others.
The Evangalicals wants to use the Government to further its particular religious beliefs and this is wrong and unconstitutional.
However who are these evangelicals that want to use Government?
David Barton
James Dobson
Pat Robertson
Phyllis Schlafly
Robert George
Tony Perkins
Mike Huckabee
Michelle Bachman-pretty close at this point to some of Huckabee's positions, but has never advocated repealing the Establishment Clause of the Constitution as Huckabee has several times.
have they authored or have had their Representative author? What law-suits have they filed to force Schools to allow Prayer?
Just wondering since it seems the only group here that is using Government to force it's beliefs on others are the Atheist.
And what does that mean?
" Polk Under Prayer (PUP), that decided to bless the Pasco-Polk county line along Highway 98. PUP's director said the act was done so that "God would protect us from evildoers, mainly the drug crowd, that they would be dissuaded to come in to the county."
This gesture has apparently offended area atheists deeply enough that they felt the need to organize an event Saturday to symbolically scrub away the holy oils used by PUP to bless the county line. Bay News 9 reports that the atheists, organized by Humanists of Florida, used "unholy water" to remove the blessing and wash the road because it made them feel uncomfortable:
"But Humanists of Florida members don't see it that way. They say it makes them feel unwelcome.
'It sends a very bad signal to everyone in Polk County, and (anyone) who travels through Polk county who doesn't happen to be Christian,' Palmer said, 'This event is not about atheist rights; this is about welcoming everybody into Polk county.'
So they took their 'unholy water' and washed the road."
What's a Woonsocket? It is a town in Rhode Island. There in the Town Square is a WWI memorial that has survived since 1921. So what has the FFRF crowd panties in a wad?
A Cross. Yep just a stone cross erected in 1921 to honor WWI vets and re-tasked in 1952 to honor WWII vets.
So this cross apparently "offends" the FFRF folk even though not one of them lives there so it must come down. They have vowed to sue if the Cross is not removed by next week.
The Town which barely has enough funds to pay it's workers are collecting money from the citizens to pay for a Lawyer to fight the FFRF.
Money and support have come pouring in from all over the Country to help fight the wackos of the FFRF.
I will say it once again.. I find it amazing that the very people that claim Christians are intolerant and wish to force their views on everyone else use the power of the Courts to force their views on everyone else and are the most intolerant of views outside their own.

Thunder but no lightning
PUBLISHED: 16 Aug 2012 00:46:05 | UPDATED: 20 Aug 2012 08:13:36PUBLISHED: 17 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 17 Aug 2012Alex Kidman
Buffalo's MiniStation Thunderbolt offers storage and style as well as speed – but under the right conditions.
If you've bought a Mac in the past year or so, you may have noticed a small socket on the side with a lightning logo.
Lightning, eh? That's got to be good, because lightning is both fast and powerful, with the connotations of danger to go along with it.
The port in question is a Thunderbolt one and, while it's almost exclusively found on Macs, it's actually Intel technology for high-speed data transfer.
If you're not sure whether you've got a Thunderbolt port, grab your Macbook Air or Pro, or contort yourself over your iMac and check for a port that doesn't look quite like a USB port but that won't take a firewire cable either. Try not to do your back in while doing this, as I did.
The thing is, to check properly, you may have to blow quite a bit of dust. That's because while Thunderbolt's been a feature of Macs for some time, actual Thunderbolt peripherals beyond Apple's own cinema displays have been few and far between.
Buffalo's $279 500Gb MiniStation Thunderbolt storage tries to have things both ways, with a Thunderbolt socket as well as a USB 3.0 one.
That still keeps it best within Mac territory, as Apple's most recent machines have double dipped this way with USB 3.0, while in the PC world USB 3.0 has an unassailable lead.
There's no doubt that the MiniStation has been engineered for a Mac audience, with a combination white/aluminium finish that looks rather like the kinds of doodles I suspect Apple chief designer Jonathan Ive does in his spare time.
It certainly doesn't look out of place next to most Apple products, and with a bit of sticker work you could even fake an Apple logo if you were so inclined.
Plug the MiniStation into a PC, and the legions of Mac faithful will descend with wild eyes and blazing torches . . . no, they won't, or at least they didn't turn up with murderous intent when I did so.
Not that anything else happened either, because Buffalo supplies the MiniStation formatted for Macs. You've got to totally reformat the drive to get it picked up on Windows machines at all.
The dearth of Thunderbolt-equipped PCs makes it a pretty redundant product for Windows users in any case, where cheap USB 3 drives abound.
There's a problem with the MiniStation, though, and it's a big one. Thunderbolt has a lot of potential upside; it can transfer at up to 10Gbps under the right conditions, but having the right engine is one of them.
The MiniStation's internal drive spins at only 5400rpm, the practical equivalent of having a Ferrari body and engineering corps building your product, and then deciding to throw a rusty 1972 Datsun engine in there.
One part of the system is going to struggle to keep up with the other part, which is why in testing there was no real difference between the USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt connections, even though Thunderbolt can run up to twice as fast.
With a faster SSD style drive the MiniStation Thunderbolt would strike with speed but cost a lot more; with its current setup it's less costly but significantly slower. It's still much faster than a straight USB 2.0 connection; to test that a file transfer test averaged out at 77Mbps over either Thunderbolt or USB 3.0, whereas on USB 2.0 it slowed right down to an average of 26.93Mbps.
It's still nice and quick if you are using Thunderbolt, and it does give you a way to block out the dust.
Still, it would be nice for lightning to strike quickly, rather than just ploddingly.

How to Get the Perfect Bun
A simple, chic bun is one of my favorite quick hairstyles. Whether you have straight, thick, curly, or fine hair, this is a great way to switch up your look. My only issue is getting it to stay all day! I recently found a solution that I couldn't keep secret.
I rarely try hair gimmicks or tricks that seem so easy to do but end up a mess at home. Then, about a month ago, I was attending a wedding and I wanted to wear my hair in a low bun. The back of my dress had these beautiful knots, so I wanted to show it off rather than cover it up with my hair. All the bobby pins in the world were not getting me the look I wanted. The only thing I could find to work were clunky claws or clips, which looked too obvious. Then I discovered…
The Goody Spin Pin
To buy: $6, Target.com
These little swirly pins kept my bun in through lots of dancing (the DJ had to instruct us to sit down for the main course). It was the true test! They blended in with my hair–the pins also come in a lighter shade for blondes–so no one even noticed them. I am so in love with mine, I even keep them in my purse just in case I want to put my hair up midday.
They are incredibly easy to use and come with the mini diagram above, as well as suggestions for other bun styles. I definitely suggest putting the Goody Spin Pins through your ultimate bun test!
Tell me what you think after using them, or share your solutions for a simple stay-put bun. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

I am jealous of all the people who say they have too much English Ivy! I have a large shaded area that I would like to start some English Ivy. I need something that will grow quick and stop the weeds. We have 4 acres of woods so it will have lots of room to spread if it wants to! If you are in Central New Jersey and would like to get rid of some of your Ivy please let me know! |

Don't be jealous. English Ivy attracts rats and mice. It's a menace to control, too. |

(Los Angeles) CNN — Grammy-winning R&B singer Miguel allegedly drove drunk early Thursday and was busted by a California Highway Patrol officer.
Miguel Jontel Pimentel, 27, was pulled over on a Los Angeles freeway for speeding and having illegally tinted windows at 2:15 a.m., according to CHP spokeswoman Karina Munoz.
The officer conducted sobriety tests on Miguel after smelling alcohol from inside the BMW X6, Munoz said.
Miguel was arrested on a drunken driving charge, booked at a Los Angeles jail and released on $5,000 bond at 5 a.m., she said.
A court hearing is set for September 9, she said.
The singer's representative did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.
Miguel won a Grammy for best R&B single for his hit "Adorn" in 2013.

Namco Bandai, Sega and Capcom have teamed up to create a new strategy-RPG for 3DS that'll feature characters from 29 of their most iconic franchises.
Project X Zone (a working title pronounced 'Project Cross Zone') released in Japan in October 2012, but has been today confirmed for release in Europe and Australasia in Summer 2013 - the same launch window given to the US release.
Developed by Monolith Soft and Banpresto, Project X Zone features over 50 playable characters from 29 game franchises by the three publishers. The Japanese box art alone shows famous faces from Mega Man, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Tekken, Space Channel 5 and more.
"In Project X Zone players will use a team of two characters known as a Pair Unit to explore the world," explains the official PR. "An additional character known as a Solo Unit can be combined with the Pair Unit to assist in battles with Solo Attacks as well as augment the attacks available for players to execute.
"Throughout the game, epic battles are waiting to erupt at a moment's notice. Players will have to master an array of screen-busting moves including Solo Attacks, Support Attacks, Cross Hits, and Finishing Moves in order to defeat a multitude of foes."
Check out this 16-minute Japanese 'Character trailer' for a good look at how it all works.

7 / BUILD A FIRE It "gives light, warmth, a morale boost, a signal and a way to cook," Kummerfeldt says. A fire will also keep you in one place, which helps rescuers.
For a surefire blaze, tuck a cotton ball soaked in petroleum jelly beneath a small pile of twigs. Each ball burns for more than 5 minutes. (These are elements of a survival kit; see "," here at PM.com, page 65 in POPULAR MECHANICS's August issue.) Before torching the cotton ball, collect enough wood to get a fire started and keep it going. Sort the wood into three piles according to size: tinder, kindling and fuel logs. Birch bark, cedar bark and dead evergreen twigs make excellent tinder. Standing deadwood is the driest source of kindling.
On cold nights, heat several stones on the periphery of a fire. Don't use limestone or saturated rocks from a streambed: They can explode. "When the stones are barely hot to the touch, curl up with them tucked inside your clothing but not next to your skin," says survival instructor David Arama. Caution: Overly hot rocks can melt synthetic outdoor wear.
8 / FIND WATER--IF NECESSARY In the vast majority of searches, the victim is found before dehydration becomes a serious health threat. If supplies are running low, avoid the urge to ration it for later. "It's better to drink the water you have to fend off dehydration--and the irrational thinking that goes with it--as long as possible," Kummerfeldt says. If you do need water, you can follow prominent drainages downhill in most environments. And don't be overly fastidious about water purity; dehydration is a more pressing concern than an intestinal infection that might show up days after you've been rescued. Finally, avoid searching for water far from your car or camp, where you're most likely to be found.
Has anyone ever lit a fire using a bow, spindle, fireboard and elbow grease? Sure. Can you? Don't bet on it.
WHAT WORKS: Carry a metal match for emergencies. Pare shavings from the block of magnesium, and spark them by scratching the flint surface with a knife. The 5400 F blaze ignites even damp tinder.
CASE STUDY /// High Sierra Blizzard
Who: Frank Horath, Paul Bargetto and their two sons camping high in the Sierra Nevada in mid-October.
What happened: Sunny weather gave way to a surprise storm that buried the mountains beneath 4 ft. of snow.
Crucial decision: Staying put. The men scouted the trail back to the car, but decided that forging ahead was a bad risk. "I could make out the trail here and there, but I kept losing it in the snow," Bargetto says. Further, the group lacked snowworthy footwear and clothing.
What happened next: The four crawled into a single tent for warmth and tried to keep their spirits up while the storm raged. When it cleared after four days, the men laid out an orange tarp and signaled aircraft with shiny objects. Searchers in a CH-47 Chinook helicopter spotted them within hours.
Expert analysis: "The group repeatedly made good decisions to save their lives," survival instructor David Arama says. The men didn't have adequate clothing, but otherwise they aced their survival test. They had left an itinerary behind, so rescuers knew where to look. They took the safest course by choosing not to hike into the blizzard. They crowded together for warmth, maintained group cohesion and signaled for help effectively.
