Graduating students have high debts and the chance of finding a good paying job appears to be low, according to the leading pundits. This may all seem very daunting if you're a grad with two or three part-time jobs who's barely scraping enough together for rent. Here are some suggestions on how you can achieve these goals with careful planning and creativity.
Now that the annual financial anxiety season is over, how did you and your partner do? If you both had a less than spectacular financial year, don't be discouraged. Now is a great time to review your financial situation and resolve to make changes now to ensure you're in a better position next year.
Do you have a budget? It is one of the most fundamental steps in making your money work for you. A personal budget is a basic estimation of the revenue and expenses over a specified period of time. Whether your goal is a down payment for a new house, saving for your child's education, a dream vacation or simply retirement, a budget is the answer to helping you reach your financial goals.
As I try to change my own views on money, I thought I'd share some of the insights that have helped me create a more positive relationship with it. In my experience so far, it can be as simple as switching your thought patterns, so you see the glass half-full rather than half-empty. Here are a few examples.
Today, I'm the girl who is up before 6am to start her crazy, workaholic routine. I'm a perfectionist -- scared to submit any piece of work that isn't up to my ridiculously high standards -- and those are just the changes I've made in school/my career. As for my finances back then, I'm sure you can imagine what that looked like.
Shopping on Black Friday and on the weekend was a frenzy as retailers advertised huge discounts to part people from their money. So, I want to know, was it worth it? Did you get what you were looking for? Did you find the best bargains and save money on Black Friday? Let's pause. All right, how much did you REALLY spend? If you are like most of us you probably spent more then you planned and are now looking through your receipts to tally up your spending for the BIG REVEAL.
If you're looking to save some money this holiday season, did you know that there are some great deals to be found at the Dollar Store? Although some items on this list may not be found at your particular Dollar Store, many of them will be! Save dollars at a time when you shop the items from this list!
In my work with women, I hear women tell me that feel overwhelmed why they think of dealing with money and planning. You need to have that tough conversation with yourself, the one that scares you and that fills you with dread. You might try to ignore it or pretend you have control over it. You need a financial plan. Here's how to start.
Those who have seen the documentary Queen of Versailles usually laugh at the outrageous lifestyle of David and Jacky Siegal, a billionaire and his trophy wife. The film begins in 2008, before the market crash. The economic downturn froze the construction of their incredible 90,000 sq ft mansion in Florida. But we can learn from them. What kids and adults need are some lessons in the lost art of budgeting, living within your means and learning not to spend what you don't have.

Inside Ultimate Exposure Tanning Centers' Chicagoland locations, a full lineup of UV- and spray-tanning equipment infuse skin with a healthy summer glow year-round. Individual sessions in the automated spray-tanning booths?such as VersaSpa?or UV beds gild bodysuits for nights on the town, and unlimited monthly packages fashion a continuous golden hue previously only available to sunbathing satellites. The salon stocks a variety of tan-accelerating lotions from Swedish Beauty, Australian Gold, and Designer Skin, which deepen bronze hues and moisturize skin to fashion a long-lasting radiance.
Seven levels of UV beds populate the private tanning rooms of Unlimited Tan?s numerous Chicagoland locations and join forces with automated spray-tanning booths to forge a war against wintry pallor. Tanning equipment tiers build upon basic level lamps to include extras such as high-pressure bulbs, aromatherapy, and cooling mists designed to keep clients comfortable and make it easier to maintain their hue over time. For the UV averse, spray-tanning booths send automated jets of pigment misting over bodies in 60 seconds, with the full, streak-free results gradually developing across 24 hours, like a whirlwind romance between sloths. Each of the salons also stocks a full supply of lotions from brands such as Australian Gold, Designer Skin, and Swedish Beauty, which works to protect skin and enhance the life of any tan.
For more than a decade, the technicians at Spray of Sunshine have been safely darkening skin using FDA-approved airbrush-tanning techniques. During 30-minute airbrush-tanning sessions, techs spray micromists of DHA bronzer, which bonds to skin to produce the appearance of a natural, even tan without the labors of lounging on a beach chair strapped to a sun-bound rocket. Tans typically last up to 10 days, depending on upkeep and maintenance practices.
The efficient tanning team can also perform mobile services at the home or office. The technicians arrive with all necessary equipment, carefully coating bodies in bathrooms or garages to avoid giving tans to already-entitled housecats.

All four security checkpoints at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport's largest terminal were shut down briefly Wednesday night when federal screeners lost sight of a man who had been flagged for a secondary check.
The man was quickly found by police and was eventually cleared to fly, said airport spokesman Mike Set. It was not clear what caused screeners to flag the man in the first place, he said.
"They probably found something that they thought needed to be looked at a little closer," Set said.
The shut down began a little after 7 p.m. at the airport's Terminal 4 and lasted for eight minutes, he said.
It was unclear how the screeners, who are employed by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, lost track of the man.
The incident, which originally was called a "security breach," came in the midst of one of the heaviest travel periods of the year. Travelers who were flying out of Terminal 4 likely faced small delays because of it, Set said.

Shelter participates in Just One Day movement
BURLINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) -- The Boone County Animal Shelter is asking shelters across the Tri-State to take a pledge not to kill any animals Wednesday.
There are approximately 10,000 companion animals euthanized every day, says one shelter representative.
The Just One Day movement asks shelters to instead photograph savable animals, and post their pictures on social media for adoption.
The Boone County Animal Shelter is joining in by waiving all adoption fees on spayed and neutered animals for the next three days. The shelter in Burlington will be open from noon to six Wednesday for adoptions.

Barack Obama tries to lay blame on the Fox News Channel for his woes in the upcoming Kentucky Primary. It seems that every time he has a new tarbaby such as his upcoming loss in Kentucky Obama finds a new whipping boy. This time the dreaded Fox News is to blame for his problems.
From McClatchy:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, facing a likely defeat in next Tuesday's primary election, won't travel to Kentucky before the voting, but said he hopes to have much more time to win over Kentucky voters before the November general election.
He also blamed Fox News for disseminating "rumors" about him and said that that and e-mails filled with misinformation that have been "systematically" dispersed have hurt him in Kentucky.
"When we're able to campaign in a place like Iowa for several months and I can visit and talk to people individually, I do very well. That's harder to do at this stage in the campaign," Obama said in a brief telephone interview Friday. "And once we get past the primary, we'll ble to focus more on those states where we need to make sure people know my track record."
What an amazing crybaby. Would a President Barack Obama whine about his global adversaries too? He is too shallow and a weak opponent to McCain.

Please see below the youtube comment by broadcaster Keith Olbermann about the "Blue Dog Democrats"...
Hey! I just did a 'Google' search which directed me to the 'Blue Dog' web-site at https://www.completecampaigns.com/public.asp?name=BlueDogDems&page=1 and copy and pasted the current national debt figure of ($$9,794,778,377,323.05) USD as of Aug 3, 2009. This figure is less than the $11 trillion USD deficit figure that was posted in your article. Could it be that our tax receipts are finally catching up with our 'debt clock', or do we also need to load on to the current 'debt clock' figure, the present value of all future existing 'off-the-books' government liabilities such as Social Security, Medicare, etc. That would reportedly kick the present value of our nation's 'debt clock' closer to the ($50 Trillion USD) mark. How's that for a proper perspective on future debt service? Remember, a 4% annual inflation rate globally would slice the 'real' level of our debt in half within five years. Unfortunately, we run the risk that our currency would deflate in perfect indirect correlation, if this were to happen and we were the main contributor to the inflation 'spell'. So, throttle forward, yes...Senators, but don't forget where the brakes are, Ben Bernake.
Few people seem to understand what caused the economic crisis. The answer can be found by looking at the last time the US had a great financial crisis. In 1929 the rules were so loose that people who could take advantage of the situation took so much money out of the economy that there wasn't enough money left over for the economy to operate. John Maynard Keynes showed that the answer is for the government to provide money to start the economy operating again and to provide safe guards so the economy would not be looted.
Eventually, the democrats over regulated the economy and transferred so much money to the government that the economy was about to collapse. The answer was to reverse the policies of the Democrats. The conservatives, including President Clinton saved the economy by reducing government regulations and spending. Then like everyone else they went too far. They got rid of regulations and cut spending until the US returned to the way it was in 1929.
Then just like 1929 so much money was stolen that there was a financial crisis and the economy weakened. The only thing that will return the economy to health is to follow the policies that the Democrats used that moved the US out of the depression.
@ go2goal: I agree whole-heartedly with your comments.
@ Wordwell: ditto.
These coin-operated representatives are probably being funded by the Insurance and Pharmaceutical industries to label the President's attempts to provide health care for all Americans as "an extreme position".
These Senators and Congressmen are not worried about facing their voters if they support health care reform, they are worried about facing their campaign contributors...
Since the Great Depression every time a Democrat has been elected to the White House, Congress has tried to pass health care reform. And for 70 years the Pharmaceutical lobby and the AMA have been able to block it, using the worst kind of propaganda and lies... "Under this reform, your doctor won't be able to decide your treatment, a bureaucrat will." As if the insurance companies were not deciding treatment and denying care on a daily basis. The lies of those in the private sector who are speculating on the life and death of millions of citizens are sickening to behold.
How about a new law against speculating in the health sector? The problem with the Blue Dog Democrats is that they don't seem to recognize what real Socialism is. Let's sponsor a bill nationalizing all the health companies. Just as a threat...
Sadly, your comment regarding the failure of American Democracy is only too true.
The two votes of California's Senators, who represent 35 million people, are equal to the two votes of Montana's Senators, who represent 1/35th as many people. Alaska, with the same population as the District of Columbia, has two Senators and one Representative. The District of Columbia has no vote in Congress. This is certainly not democratic nor is it a just form of Republican government.
Insofar as health care reform is concerned, six conservative Senators from sparsely populated states and seven Democrat Representatives, together, representing just 13 million people - or 4 percent of the total population, have decided for the remaining 300 million people, that the Board of Directors of America's Insurance Corporations should continue determining a citizen's access to health care.
"A conservative is someone who defends the Constitution" - quite true. Indeed even in Britain there used to be a network of "Constitutional Clubs" and a "National Rifle Association" (with millions of members) out to defend the, mostly, unwritten British Constitution (this stand in British life basically had its back broken by the First World War).
By the way, where in the Constitution of the United States is "Medicare" listed as a power of the Congress? Or are we playing the old game of pretending that the PURPOSE of the specific powers granted to the Congress "the common defence and general welfare" is really a catch-all "general welfare power" that allows the Feds to spend money on anything they feel like?
Leftists running under the false flag of a pretended love of the Constitution of the United States are easy to expose - ask them a couple of questions about (say) the Second Amendment and the Tenth Amendment and what they really are becomes obvious. By the way my guess is "religious fundementalist" means "someone who does not enjoy killing babies - and particularly opposes nurses and doctors being FORCED to perform abortions", it might surprise you to learn that some ATHIESTS take this "religious fundemantalist" postion.
Britain does not have a "single payer health care system" - paying for private medical care is not illegal here (in spite of all the hosptitals being stolen by the government in the late 1940's) and if you want (for example) dental care you had better have private health care because the N.H.S. is a joke.
However, the government (this Friday) announced that people would no longer be allowed to pay for a transplant of a vital organ (at least not from a dead doner) - they would have to die waiting for an N.H.S. operation instead (or die from the consequences of being treated in an N.H.S hospital), this is the sort of measure that I am sure would warm Barack Obama's heart.
As for the Republicans - in the last election four of the Republicans running for President had had cancer. In Britain "you have got cancer" means "you are going to die" (the N.H.S. is that good). Ditto for Fox News presenters such as Neil Cavuto. So when the left say "conservatives oppose government health care out of selfish self interest" they may have a point - just not the point they think they have.
The "Blue Dogs" were the watch dogs that did not bark over the "stimulus" best part of a TRILLION Dollars of corruption (which the Economist also supported), and over the hundreds of billions of corrupt subsidies in the "Cap and Trade" measure (another Bill the Economist supported) and over a whole mess of other things.
If they do not find their backbones and oppose yet more government spending and control of health care (i.e. the ideas of President Barack Obama) it will be time to rename the "Blue Dogs" blue worms.
The problem with blue dogs is the same problem with all moderates. Their general lukewarmness is just too distasteful. A true independent is someone who is conservative on some issues and liberal on others. Not someone who believes in rights and wrongs and political compromises. It's like they are taking the median of their districts when they should be taking the mode.
Single payer health care is supported by the Conservative Parties of Europe, including the Conservative Party of the Economist's home country, the UK. It is odd, therefore, that the Economist refers to American supporters of the single payer system as left wingers, and Blue Dog proponants of the current private insurance scheme, as moderates.
We need to reexamine the term conservative.....most of these so called blue dog dems are NOT conservative - but are merely coin operated elected officials.
A conservative is someone who defends and upholds the constitution of the US regardless and independent from their personal religious beliefs and ideals. These blue dogs are close to the Republican religious party of the US. They are NOT conservatives in the sense of patriotism to the country or upholding the standing constitution. Most of these blue dogs interpret the constitution to meet their own religious preference......like voting rights and a woman's right to choose. And especially the separation of church and state.
These blue dogs aren't conservative - most of them are US christian fundamentalists......like the US Republican fundamentalist party. They aren't democrats and they aren't conservative.. US Christan Fundamentalism is more dangerous to our democracy and even to our nation's economy than any communist threat. The US populous better wake up - and vote these fundamentalist out of government...finally, they are being exposed by some in the media. If the main stream media begins to finally report on he powerful religious fundamentalism movement that is taking over government, then the people will finally realize why we're being lied to and why they're employing absurd tacticts to scare people about public health care.
Medi-care is avery effective progrm. The health care plan to government employees and to senators, reps, and the white house is a very robust program. The health care to our military is tops in the world. All THREE of these programs are PUBLIC health care plans - and no one in their right mind is ready to kill off any of these programs.
We need a public option for everyone else.....call it medi-care for everyone. If you like your stinking private plan - then keep it. But give the rest of us a choice to walk away from the greedy US insurance companies.
We have as much to worry about in the US with our own growing faction of religious fundamentalists - they are more of a problem in the US tan anything in the middle east. They are also the one's trying to defeat Obama's public health care plan.
The fundamentalists will never support a health care plan that is designed to cover ALL Americans.....that is against their whacked out beliefs that god selects those who are successful. In other words - the blue dog whack jobs believe those that don't have health care were so selected by god - and those that do, were selected by god to have coverage.
It is pretty nice to have something politically moderate with a mascot, especially something fierce. It is a ridiculous binary paradigm that the only place to have a strong stance is at "opposite" extremes of an arbitrary dichotomy. Go, rabid moderate blue dogs!
The comment that the "Vast majority of Americans feel unrepresented" is very true. The far left and right do an extraordinary disservice to the average American as most of us are in reality center leaning democrats and republicans in the first place.
This is what I like about the States!
Who needs the GOP?
It is entirely reasonable for a Blue Dog Rep to be unenthusiastic about voting now for a bill that may be too far Left to pass in the Senate. Why give ammunition to your next Republican opponent ? So the delay is due to Baucus and his attempt at bipartisanship in the Finance Commitee. If I were a Blue Dog, there is no way I'd cast a floor vote in favor of a public plan or an employer mandate unless they're included in what comes out of Baucus' commitee.

I have several container gardens. The planters are plastic, they contain Mexican Petunia, Black Magic, Illustris, Colocasia,regEE's, purple queen and cone flowers. Right now, with the weather breaking, they are beautiful. How do I keep them over the winter? I have a carport and shed only. Not sure of which side of the house is west (i.e. do I stand in the front or the back?) Also, can I leave the Black Magic, Illustris and Colocais, planted in the yard over the winter? If I need to dig them up, what do I do with them? Thanks for any advice.

Last week was the autumnal equinox so right not the sunrise is almost due EAST and sunset is almost due WEST. If you face the sunset, your right side will point North and your left side will point South. If you want to over-winter them outside, you will need to put them on the south side where the winter sun shines from low in the southern sky. I would not leave them in pots. In pots the roots are above ground and will freeze easier than if the plants are in the ground. As for hardiness, the EEs and cone flowers should overwinter in the ground without a problem. You may want to mulch them with leaves for added protection. Here is a link about the Mex. petunia that may help. |

Why the CIA's secret flights irk Europeans
Stoking the smoldering international controversy over America's conduct of its war on terror, a European Parliament inquiry has found that the CIA carried out as many as 1,000 secret flights through Europe since the 9/11 attacks.
With details that might conjure up movie scripts, an interim report by a committee investigating such activity alleges that the CIA occasionally snatched suspects from city streets and whisked them away to far countries or to the US detention facility in Guantánamo, Cuba.
The allegations have so far created few official waves, coming as they do as European governments mull their own responses to international terrorism - and after reports late last year had already prompted a round of transatlantic diplomacy. But the response does indicate that the US has a black eye not so much with European governments, but with European publics. And it also hints - as the report alleges - that at least some European governments not only knew of the flights and transfers of suspected terrorists, but also cooperated with them.
"These investigations and the fact that in this case it's coming out of the European Parliament suggest how this is more a reflection of European public opinion - and the publics here are very suspicious of what the US is doing," says Karen Donfried, an expert in transatlantic relations at the German Marshall Fund in Washington.
The European Parliament is an elected body but has few powers and is considered the weakest branch within the Brussels-based European Union bureaucracy - though it's also the closest thing to a barometer of public concerns.
Ms. Donfried, reached during a visit to Brussels where the new report was released, says she doubts the allegations will have a "large impact" in official circles, in part because of earlier indications that European governments were not uniformly in the dark on the CIA practices.
In fact, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said during past consultations with European officials that the US always respected the "sovereignty" of all its allies, recalls Donfried, a former State Department policy planning official. "What that says in so many words is that at some level these countries knew what was going on."

Is there a way I could appeal the ban? I know I've been rude, harassed people, and even got banned for reporting people who I thought where doing bad stuff, but turns out that they weren't so I got banned for Abusing the report button -.-. N e way is there a way I can appeal it, I have wasted a lot of money on that account (yes, I'm aware its a free game) I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out. Thanks in advance.
Senior Member
There is a reason they are called Permanent Bans. Once you get to that point....you're up **** creek without a paddle.
Yes there is a way , send a ticket to support. They will say no , and why did you pay money for rp if you are rude to other people and you know you have the chance of getting banned?
Well, I didn't think people where such fgts tbh lmao. I mean if you cant take some criticism of some sort don't play the game. The reason I payed for RP was so I can set myself appart from scrubs. I know i have the skills too dominate, and i enjoyed the champs therefore getting the skins was well worth it. I dont mind wasting money, I have the money to buy skins that i truly enjoy. What gets me angry is that i wasted money for nothing now Atleast let me transfer the stuff and ill start off at lvl 1 or what ever i don't mind. I just cant get how people can be such wusses.... It honestly gets me angry. And for the record, Permanent is forever, not 200 years. So, yeah its not really a perma ban. I have no idea why they call it like that.
Just reading your posts makes me glad I'll never have you on my team.
Just reading your posts actually made me stop raging and made me so glad that i will not have to deal with any more scrubs that cry about any little thing. This is why free games are really bad. Everyone plays, and they all rage. Cyah hicks

By: Jon Walker Monday June 14, 2010 7:15 pm |

text: the emotion of instant displeasure on account of something evil that presents itself to our view. In itself it is an original susceptibility of our nature, just as love is, and is not necessarily sinful. It may, however, become sinful when causeless, or excessive, or protracted ( Matthew 5:22 ; Ephesians 4:26 ; Colossians 3:8 ). As ascribed to God, it merely denotes his displeasure with sin and with sinners ( Psalms 7:11 ).

How do I work with Flash files(and building web sites)?
Now I made the switch becahse windows really sucks with all the spywares, etc
Anyways, what are some good alternatives for the following if there is any:
Macromedia Flash
Macromedia Fireworks
Macromedia DreamWeaver
Mozilla Thunderbird
Thanks in advance in case I mess something up and have to reinstall again lol
- 09-17-2006 #2
Alrighty. Well, first off, Thunderbird is available for Linux. Yay!!
For DreamWeaver, you're basically looking for a WYSIWYG HTML editor. The best one I know of is Nvu, but it doesn't come close to DreamWeaver's power, I'm afraid. You're kind of out of look on this point.
For Fireworks, I'm not too clear on the difference between Photoshop and Fireworks, but have you tried the GIMP?
Finally, we get to Flash. There is NO Flash authoring utility for Linux. None. There is a project called Flash4Linux, but it seems to have not been updated in over a year.
OpenOffice.org has the ability to export slideshows as SWF: I've never tried it, and certainly this isn't the same as building Flash, but it is there.
If you absolutely NEED Flash, you might look into CrossOver Office and try running Flash under it.

For Flash you could try Uira or OpenLaszlo. Both can create .swf files.

This is a small but popular campground just north of the South Twin Resort along with four other Hoodoo managed campgrounds in the area. Located next to North Twin Lake, this site offers opportunities for fishing in the summer as well as the winter. There is also a little beach at the shallow end of the lake that is great for wading and swimming.
There is a boat launch area within this campground.
Map showing recreational areas. Map Information
There are a few great sites right on the small North Twin Lake. The campground is mostly shaded and rarely is full, but the good sites do disappear early in the weekend, so if you are camping here, you might want to start early in the week. There is an RV dump station just after the entry of the campground toward Gull Point. This lake was created by steam explosions, caused when hot volcanic magma hit groundwater.

A shining example of a modern progressive congressional democrat
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Congress, Politics, Progressives
As reported recently, democrat congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee stated, on the floor of the House, that the democrats never tried to impeach President G. W Bush, despite her being a co-sponsor a bill the democrat controlled House passed to impeach President Bush.
The staff of democrat congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee then not only refused to answer a reporter's questions about her claim and her sponsorship of the bill, they threatened him with an IRS audit. Not exactly what you expect from a member of the "Peoples' House" dedicated to Constitutional principles, like the First Amendment. Pretty typical for a modern, so called "progressive" democrat though.
On the other hand, you can understand why her staff is so protective of their meal ticket. SJL appears to be out to unseat current Vice-President Joe "Plugs" Biden as the gaffe master of Washington, D.C..
Her previous deviations from reality include: While observing images from a Mars Rover at the JPL, asking if the rover would pass by where Neil Armstrong planted the American flag; and giving an impassioned speech on the House floor describing how North and South Vietnam are able to work together and how that should be an inspiration to us as well.
For that Mars/Luna mix up, she was voting on the NASA budget at the time. No wonder we have to outsource getting our Astronauts in and out orbit to the Russians.

History is not a friend of the left
You must have noticed this before, leftists are bad at history. Even when they are "good" with most historical items, they selectively edit history to line up with their political views. Views with tend to run at odds with reality.
An example I've listed before is where one leftist accused President Reagan of reinstating draft registration as part of his 'war mongering.' He was not happy when I pointed out that it was Jimmy Carter, the worst president of the latter half of the 20th Century, who did that.
Here is a new example, a very smart fellow, whom I know is a more than mildly serious history buff, rattled off a very clear, concise and accurate, summary of the failure of Solyndra. It was however, missing some key facts that didn't fit his political world view.
The facts missing completely change the narrative, which is what he objects to.
The facts in question are:
- Solyndra applied for federal loans/grants during the G.W. Bush administration, which turned them down. The reason stated was that they did not have a solid business plan that showed a path to profitability, no matter how much money was dumped their way.
- After our Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, occupied the White House, Solyndra reapplied, and where quickly approved as part of the Obama regime's "Green Jobs" program.
- The CEO of Solyndra was a major "bundler" to both the DNC and Barack Hussein Obama.
In the world of the left, Solyndra failure was 'not their fault' and had nothing to do with Obama paying off his political donors with tax payer money.
If this was the only case of a company, which happens to be run by a big DNC/BHO donor, receiving millions of taxpayer dollars as part of BHO's "Green Jobs" program, and then "unexpectedly" went bankrupt, I'd be willing to buy into this particular leftist fantasy. It is a leftist fantasy because there have been multiple other companies that fit this same profile.
June 11, 1964, Senate democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Acts
Filed under: American History, Congress, History, Politics
An important historical fact to remember, congressional democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act.
Senate democrats filibustered the Civil Rights act for 57 working days, which included a speech by democrat Senator Robert Byrd against the bill that lasted fourteen straight hours. Byrd's opposition was not surprising, since the late Senator got his start in politics as a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan.
The filibuster was finally ended when the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen, a Republican from Illinois, pushed for a closure vote in a speech that called for the democrats to end their filibuster and accept racial equality.
The Civil Rights Act was finally voted on, and passed with a majority of Republicans and minority of democrats voting for it.

Monday Book Pick: Shotokan's Secret
Filed under: History, Martial Arts, Monday Book Pick
Shotokan's Secret: Expanded Edition by Bruce Clayton
A very interesting book for both the martial artist and the historian. Mr. Clayton has done extensive research into finding the environment that drove the creation of hard style linear Karate. This system of martial arts came about in a specific time and place. A time and place that previously predominately practiced only empty handed systems based on Southern Kung Fu systems. Those systems had to be empty handed systems, because possession of a sword or any other restricted weapon by an Okinawan was punishable by death!
The first half of the book is pure history. The second half breaks apart the Shotokan katas and points out the hidden techniques. Techniques that had to be hidden at time the system was created. Very interesting stuff for the martial arts historian.
This book was first mentioned on my Shaolin Kempo blog.
Violent Luddites
Great post by Oleg Volk on violent Luddites.
Anti-gun activists have much in common with the original Luddites. They blame new technologies and users of those technologies for their own plight, and aren't above using violence to achieve their goals. Luddites did their own killing, whereas "anti-gunners" — more "anti personal guns for ordinary people" in truth — try to use the ATF and other government agencies as their cat's paw.
The rallying cry of the anti-gun bigots is usually "for reasonable gun control!" They claim that old, simple guns are just fine, it's the new and extra deadly weapons and ammunition that are the evil incarnate.
Mr. Volk then goes on to illustrate what those who pay attention know, leftists are really bad at history.
Happy Independence Day!
I'll be watching 1776 today, it's a annual tradition.
Also on the watch list for today is An American Carol. Funny, educational and a bit dangerous to make with the current blacklisting going on in Hollywood.
Dr. Rice gives an important history lesson
Originally posted on my old blog back in May 2005, but certainly worth the repost. This quote is from the Washington Times Inside Politics column from May 12, 2005.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recalled last night for CNN how her father took up arms to defend fellow blacks from racist whites in the segregated South and said the constitutional right to keep and bear arms is as important as free speech and religion.
In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," Miss Rice said that her minister father and his friends armed themselves to defend the black community in Birmingham, Ala., against nightriders in 1962 and 1963.
She said that if local authorities in segregated Birmingham, where Miss Rice was born in 1954, had lists of registered weapons, she did not think her father and other blacks would have been able to defend themselves.
Miss Rice said, "We have to be very careful when we start abridging rights that the Founding Fathers thought very important."
She said they understood "there might be circumstances that people like my father experienced in Birmingham, Alabama, when, in fact, the police weren't going to protect you."
"I also don't think we get to pick and choose from the Constitution," she said in the interview, which was taped for airing last night. "The Second Amendment is as important as the First Amendment."
This is history that most so called "liberals" don't want taught in government run public schools. It gives the wrong message, i.e. that the government can't solve every one of your problems and should.
