Kenneth Scott Rogers (born November 10, 1964 in Savannah, Georgia)[1] is a former American Major League Baseball (MLB) left-handed pitcher. During a 20-year baseball career, he pitched from 1989 to 2008 for six different teams. In addition to being known for his fielding (winning five Gold Glove Awards), he pitched the fourteenth perfect game in major league baseball history. In 2008, he was the oldest baseball player in the American League.
Rogers is sometimes nicknamed "The Gambler", after a song made famous by a singer who shares his name.

Rogers grew up on a 15-acre (6.1 ha) farm in Dover, Florida. His personal goal was to play in the majors for three years, and be able to qualify for a pension.[citation needed]
He, his wife Rebecca Lewis, and children Jessica and Trevor Rogers reside in Westlake, Texas. He enjoys golf, fishing, and building houses for Habitat for Humanity.
Rogers was assigned to the Texas Rangers farm team after being drafted in the 39th round for $1,000 when he was 17 years old. He graduated from Plant City High School in Florida in 1982, where he played baseball only during his senior season, hitting .375 as a right fielder (he played shortstop in his senior league). He was converted into a pitcher on the strength of his throwing arm and left-handedness. Rogers spent seven years in the minor leagues before making it to the Rangers in 1989 as a reliever. He became a starting pitcher for the club in 1993.
During his career, he played for the Texas Rangers (1989–95, 2000–02, 2004–05), the New York Yankees (1996–97), Oakland Athletics (1998–99), the New York Mets (1999), the Minnesota Twins (2003), and the Detroit Tigers (2006–08).
With the Detroit Tigers in 2006, Rogers won 17 regular season games, and excelled in the post-season with 23 straight scoreless innings over his three starts.
He is one of only three pitchers in Rangers history through 2009 to win at least 17 games in 31 starts or fewer (17 wins in 31 starts in 1995), along with Scott Feldman (17 wins in 31 starts in 2009) and Ferguson Jenkins (18 wins in 30 starts in 1978).[2]
Rogers was acquired by the Oakland Athletics from the Yankees for third baseman Scott Brosius in Billy Beane's first trade as general manager.[3] Rogers led the Oakland pitching staff in his first season in innings (238.7) and wins (16). The next season, he started 19 games, winning only 5 with a 4.30 ERA. He was traded at the deadline to the New York Mets for Terrence Long and a minor league player.
On June 29, 2005, after walking out onto Ameriquest Field for a pre-game warmup against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Rogers shoved two cameramen,[4] knocking a camera to the ground. One of the reporters then resumed filming and Rogers shoved him again, this time kicking the camera after it had been knocked to the ground a second time. He had to be restrained and was sent home. Larry Rodriguez of Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex' Fox Network affiliate KDFW was taken to a local hospital, complaining of shoulder, arm and leg pain. While in the hospital, Rodriguez made an official complaint of assault against Rogers.
On July 1, 2005, Commissioner Bud Selig suspended Rogers for 20 games and fined him $50,000. While an appeal of his suspension was pending, Rogers appeared at the 2005 All-Star Game in Detroit. Rogers appealed the suspension, which was upheld by Selig. The commissioner was later overruled by independent arbitor Shyam Das, allowing Rogers to return to play after sitting out 13 games.
On July 18, 2005, Rogers was charged with a Class A misdemeanor assault charge with regard to Rodriguez and a Class C misdemeanor assault charge with regard to FSN Southwest cameraman David Mammeli. Rogers was cited and released on $1,500 bond. The Class A charge was later reduced to Class C following Rogers' completion of an anger management course.
On August 11, 2005, Rogers returned to the mound against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park. Rogers allowed five runs and seven hits in five innings, on the way to a 16–5 Boston victory. He finished 2005 with a 3.46 ERA in 195⅓ innings. Shortly after the regular season ended, the Rangers announced Rogers would not return to the team.
On October 5, 2005, Rodriguez filed a civil suit against Rogers and the Rangers, seeking an unspecified amount of monetary damages.
On December 8, 2005, Rogers signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Detroit Tigers. Rogers ended the 2006 regular season with a record of 17–8 and a 3.84 ERA. "We've needed a guy like that for a long time. I'm glad we went out and got him. ... He means a lot to our team and to guys like me," said Tigers starter Jeremy Bonderman on Rogers.
Rogers, on his first year in Detroit: "There's a lot of benefits here, by far, that you wouldn't know as a visiting player, and for me, I've been around quite a while, but I appreciate the town, the city, the people. The travel for a baseball player is very hard, but here it's not that difficult. It lends itself to being able to relax on certain days that you could get off. There's just more benefits, especially when you have the quality of people here like Dombrowski and like we have in Mr. Ilitch, those things that you can't take for granted. You add in Jim Leyland and the coaching staff here, and I just got lucky to choose this place... Right when I went in the door and met them, I knew. I knew where I was going to end up." [2]
On March 30, 2007, ESPN reported that Rogers would miss three months after undergoing surgery for a blood clot in his pitching shoulder. He made his return on June 22 against the Atlanta Braves, pitching 6 scoreless innings and allowing two hits while earning his first win of the season.
On October 6, 2006, Rogers won his first postseason game, pitching 7⅔ scoreless innings with eight strikeouts in a 6–0 Tigers victory against the Yankees in Game 3 of the American League Division Series. At 41 years and 330 days old, he became the oldest starting pitcher to earn his first career postseason win.
A week later on October 13, Rogers retired nine batters in a row, in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against the Oakland Athletics, allowing only two hits and two walks in 7⅓ scoreless innings, while striking out six and pacing the Tigers to a 3–0 victory, leaving the Tigers one win away from their first World Series appearance since 1984.
Rogers started Game 2 of the 2006 World Series on October 22, 2006. "We wanted Kenny to pitch two games at home," Leyland said.[5] He left the game with the Tigers in the lead 3–0, pitching 8 shutout innings, retiring 10 straight batters, striking out five, allowing only two hits, with three walks, making him the oldest starting pitcher to win a World Series game,[6] and one of only two pitchers over the age of 40 to do so (Curt Schilling would become the second in 2007).
During the first inning, Fox cameras caught a smudge on Rogers' pitching hand. Rogers said it was dirt mixed with rosin from the rosin bag and wiped it off. Major League Baseball spokesperson Rich Levin said the incident was investigated, and the substance was described as dirt. Since it was not ruled a foreign substance, per Rule 8.02, Rogers remained in the game.[7] In the process, Rogers extended his streak to 23 shutout innings. Examination of images from previous games revealed similar smudges in two other games.[8]
After injuries shortened his 2007 and 2008 seasons, Rogers ceased playing at the end of 2008. With 219 career victories, he became the seventh 200-game winner who never won 20 games in any one season, joining Milt Pappas, Jerry Reuss, Frank Tanana, Charlie Hough, Dennis Martínez and Chuck Finley. Tim Wakefield joined the group with his 200th win in 2011. Mike Mussina reached 200 wins without having a 20-win season, but recorded a 20-win season afterward. On August 6, 2011, Rogers was enshrined into the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame.
In 2010, Rogers served as a pitching coach for the Detroit Tigers during spring training. According to remarks by Justin Verlander and Jim Leyland, his ability to coach pitchers on fielding would be particularly of interest to the team.[9]
In 2011, Rogers threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Comerica Park in game three of the ALDS.[10]
Rogers reportedly never formally retired from Major League Baseball.[9]
Rogers pitched the fourteenth perfect game in baseball history on July 28, 1994 with the Rangers against the California Angels (the last no-hitter in Rangers history to date [11] and the only perfect game in franchise history). Soon after his feat, he appeared on ABC's Good Morning America on July 29, 1994, and on CBS's Late Show with David Letterman on August 1, 1994. He also met and appeared with musician Kenny Rogers at a function in Arlington, Texas on August 13, 1994. Rogers' 1994 perfect game was caught by Iván Rodríguez, who in June 2007 caught the no-hitter of Detroit Tiger Justin Verlander, both of whom were teammates of Rogers at the time. The game took place exactly three years to the day of the last perfect game, pitched by Dennis Martinez of the Montreal Expos on July 28, 1991.
Known as one of the finest fielding pitchers in baseball, Rogers won five Gold Glove Awards at pitcher, including four with the Rangers and one with the Tigers. He was honored with a Fielding Bible Award in 2008 as the top fielding pitcher in MLB.[12] Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane stated that Rogers "was the best fielding pitcher" he ever saw. "It's like having an extra infielder".[13]
On June 18, 2006 Rogers won his 200th game (against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field), during which Detroit set a club record with eight home runs.[14]
Rogers is second all-time in pickoffs with 93 in his career. On May 9, 2008 against the New York Yankees, Rogers picked off Wilson Betemit in the second inning for his 92nd pick-off, passing Mark Langston.

Georgia Aquarium Announces New Emerald Tree Boa Exhibit
Atlanta, GA (May 18, 2009) –
Georgia Aquarium is bringing guests face-to-scales with an all new emerald tree boa (Corallus caninus) exhibit featured in the River Scout gallery, presented by Southern Company. This slithering creature will inhabit a display filled with lush rain forest greens, a waterfall and even a few amphibious friends – poisonous dart frogs and Amazon milk frogs.
"The new tree boa exhibit, part of our New Every 90 initiative, gives guests an exciting reason to come back and visit the Aquarium this summer," explains Anthony Godfrey, president and chief operating officer of the Georgia Aquarium. "Found primarily in wet, lowland rain forests in South American countries, this animal serves as a great advocate in helping us communicate the importance of rain forest conservation around the world."
This roughly 6-foot long creature is known for its vibrantly green body color with a white, irregular stripe and white transverse bands or splotches on its dorsal surface. Adults generally range from about 4 to 6 feet in length, but individuals in the Amazon basin can reach 9 feet long. The emerald tree boa is not venomous, but has long curved front teeth that can inflict a painful bite, making it an ambush predator.
Guests can check out this new exhibit located inside of the River Scout gallery next to the American alligator exhibit. In the River Scout gallery, visitors discover a wide diversity of animals found in the rivers of Africa, South America, Asia and also right here in Georgia. Learn more about the emeral tree boa!
The emerald tree boa has a large heart-shaped head, a narrow neck and a stout body that taper to a long prehensile tail. It has a yellow underbelly that contrasts sharply with its green coloring. The emerald tree boa is a carnivorous animal. Its diet consists of arboreal rodents, squirrels, monkeys, lizards, bats and sometimes birds. At night it extends its neck and head downward, waiting for prey to move within range below. It strikes quickly, grasping and holding the prey with its long, curved teeth and then drawing it up to its body. The boa then suffocates its prey by constriction. However, in its natural habitat, this nocturnal hunter may go as long as two months between meals.
The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, is the world's largest with more than eight million gallons of water and the largest collection of aquatic animals. The mission of the Georgia Aquarium is to be an entertaining, educational and scientific institution featuring exhibits and programs of the highest standards; offering engaging and exciting guest experiences promoting the conservation of aquatic biodiversity throughout the world. The Georgia Aquarium is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums.

The earthwork forts that crown many hills in Southern England are among the largest and most dramatic of the prehistoric features that still survive in our modern rural landscape. The Wessex Hillforts Survey collected wide-ranging data on hillfort interiors in a three-year partnership between the former Ancient Monuments Laboratory of English Heritage and Oxford University.
These defended enclosures, occupied from the end of the Bronze Age to the last few centuries before the Roman conquest, have long attracted archaeological interest and their function remains central to study of the Iron Age. The communal effort and high degree of social organistation indicated by hillforts feeds debate about whether they were strongholds of Celtic chiefs, communal centres of population or temporary gathering places occupied seasonally or in times of unrest. Yet few have been extensively examined archaeologically.
Using non-invasive methods, the survey enabled more elaborate distinctions to be made between different classes of hillforts than has hitherto been possible. The new data reveals not only the complexity of the archaeological record preserved inside hillforts, but also great variation in complexity among sites. Survey of the surrounding countryside revealed hillforts to be far from isolated features in the later prehistoric landscape. Many have other less visible, forms of enclosed settlement in close proximity. Others occupy significant meeting points of earlier linear ditch systems and some appear to overlie, or be located adjacent to, blocks of earlier prehistoric field systems.

European Journal of Dermatology
Trigeminal trophic syndrome with extensive ulceration following herpes zoster Volume 19, issue 1, January-February 2009
Supplemental data
- Author(s): Ocko Kautz, Leena Bruckner-Tuderman, Marcel L Müller, Christoph M Schempp , Department of Dermatology, University Medical Center Hauptstraße 7, 79 104 Freiburg, Germany
- Key words: artifact, herpes zoster, skin ulcer, trigeminal nerve
- Page(s) : 61-3
- DOI : 10.1684/ejd.2008.0564
- Published in: 2009
The trigeminal trophic syndrome is a rare complication following central or peripheral injury of the trigeminal nerve typically characterized by unilateral distribution of anaesthesia, paraesthesia and ulceration. In one third of cases it is preceded by an iatrogenic damage of the trigeminal nerve, in another third by a history of stroke. Other causes include head trauma, intracranial tumours, herpes virus infection, degenerative diseases of the CNS and idiopathic. Little is known about the pathogenesis. Contribution of neurotrophic factors and an altered sympathetic activity is assumed but a pivotal role of self-mutilation is generally accepted. We report a case of a patient who developed a strictly unilateral crescent ulcer of the ala nasi in addition to an extensive ulceration of the forehead and scalp following herpes zoster ophthalmicus.

I find I am missing a lot of messages because if I am on the phone apparently callers are able to leave a voice message on comcast. I do not want to use this service. I have an answering machine and will continue to use this. So please help about turning off voicemail on comcast/xfinity.
In order to get rid of the VoiceMail feature, you would have to call Comcast and have them remove it for you. If you have them remove VoiceMail for you, it will also remove some other features as well. I would give Comcast a call to see what other features would be removed if you removed the VoiceMail feature.
Or another option would be to change the number of rings the comcast line has and change the ansering machine you have to 1 ring before, so your answering machine will pick up the call before it goes to VoiceMail. I.E. Comcast line has 8 rings and your answering machine has 7 rings, Answering machine will pick up first,
But some people still come across problems with that so it may be better to give Comcast a call still.
You can remove voice mail without removing any other features.
I have another answering machine as well and the comcast voice mail interupts my fax when I am trying to receive a fax. What other services could canceling the voice turn off.

Red Sox win big at home with a dominating 6-1 victory. After defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in four out of six games, the Boston Red Sox have earned the title of 2013 World Series champions. Are YOU glad the Red Sox won?
Game 6 of the 2013 World Series was highly anticipated for baseball fans — after all, it was the game to either grant the Boston Red Sox their championship title OR tie them at three games with the St. Louis Cardinals, which would have led to one final deciding game. But on Oct. 30, the Red Sox beat the Cardinals to clinch their first World Series title at Fenway Park since 1918!
Boston Red Sox Win World Series — Red Sox Beat Cardinals In Game 6
Game 6 definitely kept us on our toes, but the Red Sox started off stronger than ever! In the bottom of the third inning, Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino hit a three-run double, giving the Red Sox a 3-0 lead over the Cardinals. And just an inning later, the Red Sox added three more runs!
Red Sox fans are extra excited about this win because this is the first time the team has won the World Series on their home field since 1918. The Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 and 2007, but they have struggled since then. The Cardinals, on the other hand, have been a mostly consistent team, winning the World Series in 2011. Well, the Red Sox certainly showed us who's back on top again!
Red Sox Take An Early Lead During 2013 World Series
The Red Sox took the lead right off the bat in the 2013 World Series when they annihilated the Cardinals 8-1 in Game 1. The Cardinals didn't go down easy, however, winning both Game 2 and Game 3. Little did the Cardinals know the Red Sox would come back stronger than ever to finish them off by winning the next three games in a row — including Game 6, making them the 2013 World Series champions.
Red Sox Win After Boston Bombing Tragedy
Boston Strong banners waved proudly while the Red Sox jumped out to an unconquerable lead. The Sox couldn't have done a better job of lifting up their city just six months after the tragic bombing at the Boston Marathon on April 15. Boston Strong became a rallying cry for the city, and the Boston Red Sox were the face of the movement.
"This is for you, Boston. You guys deserve it," World Series MVP David Ortiz said after the game. "We've been through a lot this year and this is for all of you and all those families who struggled."
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you glad the Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals? Sound off below!

Introducing the 2.6 Kernel
The kernel has come a long way since Linus branched off 2.4.15 to create 2.5.0 back on November 22, 2001. Since then, rapid development has ensued, resulting in a drastically different and much-improved kernel. This article discusses the more interesting, important features and their impact on the performance and reliability of Linux.
In Linux kernel parlance, the minor version number of a kernel denotes whether that kernel belongs to a stable series or a development series. Even minor version numbers denote stable kernels, and odd minor version numbers denote development kernels. When a development kernel is fully mature and deemed stable, its minor version number is incremented to an even value. For example, the 2.3 kernel development series gave way to the 2.4 stable series.
The current development kernel is 2.5. The initial work on a development series is quite brisk, and many new features and improvements are incorporated. When Linus and the kernel developers are satisfied with the new feature set, a feature-freeze is declared, which has the purpose of slowing development. The last feature-freeze occurred on October 31, 2002. Ideally, when a feature-freeze is declared, Linus will not accept new features—only additions to existing work. When the existing features are complete and nearly stable, a code-freeze is declared. During a code-freeze, only bug fixes are accepted, in order to prepare the kernel for a stable release.
When the development series is complete, Linus releases the kernel as stable. This time around, the stable kernel most likely will be version 2.6.0. Although the official release date is "when it is done", a good estimate is third or fourth quarter 2003.
In March 2001 and again in June 2002, the core kernel developers met at Kernel Summits to discuss the kernel. The primary goal of 2.5 was to bring the aging block layer (the part of the kernel responsible for block devices, such as hard drives) into the 21st century. Other concerns centered on scalability, system response and virtual memory (VM). The kernel hackers met all—and many more—of these goals. The list of important new features includes:
O(1) scheduler
preemptive kernel
latency improvements
redesigned block layer
improved VM subsystem
improved threading support
new sound layer
In this article, I discuss a lot of new technology and innovation that has gone into the 2.5 kernel and will appear in 2.6. The development is the result of hard work from many individuals. I am going to refrain from mentioning names, because if I start giving credit I inevitably will miss some people, and I would rather give no list than an incomplete or incorrect one. The Linux Kernel Mailing List archive is a good source of who did what.
The process scheduler (or, simply, the scheduler) is the subsystem of the kernel responsible for allocating processor time. It decides which process gets to run when. This is not always an easy job. From a possibly large list of processes, the scheduler must ensure that the most worthy one is always running. When there is a large number of runnable processes, selecting the best process may take some time. Machines with multiple processors only add to the challenge.
Improvements to the scheduler ranked high on the list of needed improvements. Specifically, developers had three specific goals:
The scheduler should provide full O(1) scheduling. Every algorithm in the scheduler should complete in constant time, regardless of the number of running processes.
The scheduler should have perfect SMP scalability. Ideally, each processor should have its own locking and individual runqueue. A runqueue is the list of runnable processes from which the scheduler chooses.
The scheduler should have improved SMP affinity. It should naturally attempt to group tasks on a specific CPU and run them there. It should migrate tasks from one CPU to another only to resolve imbalances in runqueue length.
The new scheduler accomplishes all of these goals. The first goal was full O(1) scheduling. O(1) denotes an algorithm that executes in constant (fixed) time. The number of runnable tasks on a system—or any other variable, for that matter—has no bearing on the time to execute any part of the scheduler. Consider the algorithm for deciding which task should run next. This job involves looking at the highest priority task, with timeslice remaining, that is runnable. In the previous scheduler, the algorithm was analogous to:
for (each runnable process on the system) { find worthiness of this process if (this is the worthiest process yet) { remember it } } run the most worthy process
With this algorithm, the worthiness of each process must be checked. This implies the algorithm loops n-times for n processes. Hence, this is an O(n) algorithm—it scales linearly with the number of processes.
Conversely, the new scheduler is constant with respect to the number of processes; it does not matter whether there are five or 5,000 runnable processes on the system. It always takes the same amount of time to select and begin executing a new process:
get the highest priority level that has processes get first process in the list at that priority level run this process
In this algorithm, it is possible to simply "get the highest priority level" and "get first process in the list", because the scheduler keeps track of these things. It simply has to look up, instead of search for, these values. Consequently, the new scheduler can select the next process to schedule without looping over all runnable processes.
The second goal is perfect SMP scalability. This implies the performance of the scheduler on a given processor remains the same as one adds more processors to the system, which was not the case with the previous scheduler. Instead, the performance of the scheduler degraded as the number of processors increased, due to lock contention. The overhead of keeping the scheduler and all of its data structures consistent is reasonably high, and the largest source of this contention was the runqueue. To ensure that only one processor can concurrently manipulate the runqueue, it is protected by a lock. This means, effectively, only one processor can execute the scheduler concurrently.
To solve this problem, the new scheduler divides the single global runqueue into a unique runqueue per processor. This design is often called a multiqueue scheduler. Each processor's runqueue has a separate selection of the runnable tasks on a system. When a specific processor executes the scheduler, it selects only from its runqueue. Consequently, the runqueues receive much less contention, and performance does not degrade as the number of processors in the system increases. Figure 1 is an example of a dual-processor machine with a global runqueue vs. a dual-processor machine with per-processor runqueues.
The third and final goal was improved SMP affinity. The previous Linux scheduler had the undesirable characteristic of bouncing processes between multiple processors. Developers call this behavior the ping-pong effect. Table 1 demonstrates this effect at its worst.
Table 1. A Worst-Case Example of the Ping-Pong Effect
The new scheduler solves this problem, thanks to the new per-processor runqueues. Because each processor has a unique list of runnable processes, processes remain on the same processor. Table 2 shows an example of this improved behavior. Of course, sometimes processes do need to move from one processor to another, like when an imbalance in the number of processes on each processor occurs. In this case, a special load balancer mechanism migrates processes to even out the runqueues. This action occurs relatively infrequently, so SMP affinity is well preserved.
Table 2. The New Scheduler Preserves CPU Affinity
The new scheduler has a lot more features than its name implies. Table 3 is a benchmark showing off the new scheduler.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

People ask me all the time how I do it.
How I work full-time in such a demanding job while being a mom of 16-month-old twins. The short answer is: I'm motivated.
I like to end the day knowing that I learned something, inspired someone, or somehow made a difference.
Tonight, I look forward to being in a room full of women who feel the exact same way. I'm covering an event with The Giving Girls.
In 2010, Valley resident Stacy Bayless put her plan into motion. She formed a women's networking group that meets monthly – with a mission: To inspire one another and give back.
Their mission statement says the Giving Girls are "dedicated to progressing and educating the female youth of our communities through a network of women leaders that inspire each other by combining resources, skills and passion towards a shared purpose."
Here's what's really cool.
Every month the Giving Girls choose a different charity. They meet, chat, share a drink and great conversation and they make the world a better place.
Tuesday's event at The Roaring Fork will benefit Phoenix Rescue Mission's Changing Lives Center for Women and Children.
Each "Girl" is asked to bring one of the following:
• Canned Food
• Salt and Pepper
• Sugar and Spices
• Butter and cooking oil
• Cleaning Supplies
• Plastic Spoons and Forks
• Toiletry items such as shampoo, soap etc.
• Baby items - diapers (all sizes), pull-ups (all sizes), bibs, bottles (new), teething toys (new),
baby spoons (new)
• Teacher supplies - bulletin board decorations, felt boards, charts
• Nap mats
• School Supplies
• Craft Supplies - pipe cleaners, decorative paper, rubber stamping supplies,
• Sewing Supplies including a modern, working sewing machine - material, thread, yarn, buttons,
needles, scissors
They are dedicated wives and mothers; working women who have found great success but realize there is so much more to do.
Watch our story tonight at 10 p.m. For more on the Giving Girls go to

Oh LOOK! It's not us. |
A Family Holiday. Sounds idyllic doesn't it? I can just picture us now. There's my husband, having a quiet chuckle watching our three children bury each other in the sand as they laugh with gay abandon. There's me, rocking a pants suit looking JUST like Jennifer Hawkins, laying quietly beside him on the rolling sand hill, sipping a Mai Tai.
Reality Check.
For a start, I don't own and therefore will never rock a pantsuit, secondly, my children cannot physically come into contact without degenerating into some variation of Wrestlemania. So this was a dream - at best.
See the thing is, I feel like we've been doing family holidays wrong. For a start, they really couldn't be considered holidays. They've never been more than 3 days in duration and we have been so close to our own home, that we may as well just have just hooked up Foxtel, ordered some overpriced takeout and gotten someone to come in each day and turn down our beds, hospital corner style.
Wait, I lie, we did get away a couple years ago with my best friend, her husband and two girls. Again, I believe 3 nights. Again, we stayed in our home town, but this time, we had to take a boat to our destination. Sounds exotic doesn't it? Well sure, if your idea of wallaby poo putt-putt is exotic, then yeah, I guess we were living the dream.
After being there for half a day, in our wisdom, we (myself and my girlfriend) traded time with our husbands. They went surfing and when they returned, we in turn, swapped a couple of hours in the afternoon sun lounging in the Bali Hut, overlooking the lapping water and sipping champagne. Do you hear what I'm saying, we went drinking, the men were in charge. So, I guess you can understand how bad I felt when we sauntered back into our room, half pissed, confronted with this:
Wait. That wasn't there when I saw you last |
Apparently Sam thought he was Tony Hawke. He had tried to ride the much coveted skateboard down a concrete path and the concrete path had decided otherwise.
There was blood. There were tears . The kids were flipping out and did I mention there was a whole lotta blood? The very thing Jeremy has been known to pass out at the sight of? Luckily the men handled it well and we could all see the funny side by the end of the night. Did I say all? Well perhaps Sam was less ecstatic.
That was on day one.
Day two saw the kids feet get cut up by the glass "jewels" that outlined the dolphin at the bottom of the pool. It also saw Lilly and Grace have an unfortunate head butting incident on the pool slide that meant the tooth fairy made an impromptu visit to the island with much fanfare. Add to that, the fact that it was preferable to sleep outside on the balcony having the blood sucked out of us by ten thousand mosquitoes, than sweat it out in the air-condtioner-less room and I think you're getting the gist.
Man Parenting - 101 |
But of course it's on checkout where the real pain begins. Being on holidays, no matter where you are, it's all about getting loose and if available, racking it up on the room charge. And didn't we rack that shit up. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, we ate like kings. Of course there was no alternative, they did kind of have the market cornered, but we were like the Titantic, we were unstoppable.
Hello two thousand dollar room charge for three days worth of meals and overpriced alcohol.
After we repaid our national debt, we were allowed to leave the island and get back on the boat that afternoon. We dodged the wallaby poo, dragged our luggage through the soft sand and loaded 5 very tired and irritable children onto the boat.
Of course it was only natural that the best way to end the holiday was for Bonnie, my best friend, to fall off the boat and nearly break her leg. In her last ditch attempt to flash her bits to the rest of us, she flipped off the boat and in turn sent her legs into places they've never been before and are unlikely to ever to return to again. Dinner and Show package – Unexpected!
But here's the thing, you ask any one of those 5 children what was the best holiday they've ever been on, and they will all emphatically swear it was that one. They hung out together, they swam, they slept over in each other's rooms, they watched dodgy TV's with little reception and they covered each other's sunburn in aloe vera each night, all while talking excitedly about the day's events.
And us, the adults? The memories are irreplaceable. Holidaying five stars or holidaying under the stars, it's all about the company you're in.

For many, the final popularity poll is measured by bums in seats at the funeral. For Patrick, the number is in single digits. Tellingly, no one signs the book of condolence. For François (Daniel Auteuil, more puzzled than genuinely out of his depth), the service is a chance to finish up a bit of antique business with the dearly departed's mother.
But before you can say ashes to ashes, François is thrown into a quest to dredge up one "best friend" by his chums or lose a bet with the co-owner (Julie Gayet) of his cash-flow challenged, upscale gallery. The prize? A 5th Century B.C. Greek vase depicting the undying devotion of Achilles to Patroclus—mythically filled with tears—that François has snapped up at auction on a pathetic whim and using company cash.
And so begins the dance for Patrice Leconte's film that, in the tradition of Norman McLaren (cross-reference below) is more a celebration of movement and music than a parable for our over-communicative, friend-lite, acquaintance-rich society.
François' passion is old things, not people. He soon discovers that any of his acquaintances bail quick and dirty at his miserable attempts to force them to accept his "meilleur ami" designation. Cue Bruno Boulet (Balanchine in the English translation), the gabby taxi driver (Dany Boon) who collects old facts and pastes them into memory and countless scrapbooks. But wait! Trivia 'R' Me is liked yet, in a grand reverberation back to Arthur Miller's Willy, not well-liked. His former best friend steals has stolen his wife to leave Bruno Boulet (Balanchine in the English subtitles) driving Mr. and Ms. Daisies to appointments with their loved ones.
The choreographic surname is no accident but it's Boon's astonishingly expressive visage rather than his feet that is as gifted as Nureyev's leaps. None of this is lost on composer Xavier Demerliac and his marvellous band, L'Attirail.
Just Boon's scenes and the music track would make a marvellous film on its own. The sad and poignant accordion, seul, is a tone with the tranquillizer-popping loner. The near-klezmer offerings from the clarinet set the tone and the stage for the evolving relationship between the two disparate men. Wonderful is the bass clarinet introduction as François meets Bruno's parents—a colour as appropriate as Prokofiev's Grandfather bassoon. Nervous brushes on the snare reinforce Bruno's theft-for-love with aplomb.
The rest of the cast serve as supportive set dressing. The only stand out is Delamotte (Henri Garçin) a competitor's lust for the vase at any cost. Incredibly, his day job is a television producer of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which sets up a grand moment of life-line drama that hinges on a vowel.
Screenwriters Leconte, Jérôme Tonerre and Olivier Dazat waste no time setting up the premise, the haste of which rates a 2 on the Richter scale of believability, but that narrative scramble is more than made up for in the last-scene plot points that payoff early hints with an astounding crash.
With a lesbian couple introduced rather awkwardly in Act I and the ongoing will-they-or-won't-they?" tease of the two fellas (who even have a sleep over then are greeted for breakfast by François' daughter: she's just coming home from a late night of her own), there's a simmering layer of more than just friends that seeps into the proceedings, which are peppered with not-so-subtle symbols. As a boy, François was teased as "Quichey" (guess what's for dinner thirty years later?); grown men give each other a toaster, François' alluring girlfriend is spurned for the new constant companion …
Surely the sequel of this heart-leavening "Friends" will pick that undercurrent up "just where we left off." Is that their final answer?"

Miss Spell's Class review
Quickly identify spelling errors in this fast-paced word game.
Miss Spell's Class is a game that tests your ability to quickly identify misspelled words. It's kind of fun, especially if you pride yourself on being a good speller, but there's really not enough to it to keep it interesting for very long.
Miss Spell's Class opens with a screen that asks you to choose an opponent from Facebook friends, Game Center friends, or a random player. The times we tried the app, there were never any random players available, and we didn't have any friends playing the game on Facebook, so we opted to start a practice game. The practice game hurls 20 words at you and gives you three seconds to determine whether or not each word is spelled correctly. At the end you're given a grade based on how many correct answers you gave, and after each round you can review the words that you missed and view their definitions if desired. The game has an attractive, intuitive interface, and optional music and sound effects add to the excitement. We probably would have enjoyed the game more if we'd been playing against someone else -- we can get pretty competitive when it comes to spelling -- but playing alone stopped being entertaining after several rounds. Miss Spell's Class will appeal to word nerds who want to test their spelling ability and possibly improve their vocabulary, but users would do well to get a friend on board to make it more fun.
Miss Spell's Class installs and uninstalls without issues.

Fisher was way ahead of his time untill 1975 when he wasn't into competitive chess. His rating would increase.

I found it so bitter-sweet watching this video. Such a brief, blinding meteor. Truly great American chessplayers born on American soil flash in the sky brilliantly for a few years and then crash and burn: Morphy, Pillsbury, Fischer. So sad, but we are immensely richer for their albeit short presence.

I should have mentioned Reuben Fine, as well. He saw the danger, and opted for a notable career as a New York shrink. A meteor that could have been.

What do you want to do with your life? I don't mean what you want to do as a job. Or a hobby. I mean what do you want to do.
I want to be an inspiration for revolution. I want to be looked at years after my death and have it said: "That woman showed us why to fight for our right to love." I want to have my works read by high school students and inspire them to break from their social mold and look at life from their own point of view- not my point of view. I want to make them create their own.
So in that sentiment, what is it you want to do?
Write novels. Already finished one, just need to fix it and get it published.
"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are." - Kurt Cobain
i want to help make a world where in any highschool two boys can hold hands and not get a second glance. well besides from the jealous lonly people like me, but that isnt what im refering to :)
"A loving man and woman in a committed relationship can marry. Dogs, no matter what their relationship, are not allowed to marry. How should society treat gays and lesbians in committed relationships? As dogs or as humans?"
Can they hold hands without eliciting comment?
i want to write a line that somebody will hear and remember and hold close to them. even if I don't know. i want my words to be somebody's light.
I want to search for the individual stories that make up the vast global narrative. I want to embrace them for their contradictions and remember that though they differ, they are all true. I want to tell these stories and help people remember that truth is not universal and we are all human despite our differences.
I want to make those I love smile.

Mastering The Akin Osteotomy
Surgeons can easily fixate oblique osteotomies with a screw. Transverse osteotomies lend themselves to staple fixation although surgeons trained on monofilament wire find that technique satisfactory.6 Percutaneous K-wire fixation is much less common since rigid internal fixation is commonplace. Surgeons have also used sutures. Roy and Tan noted that suture fixation has the advantages of a lower implant signature and a lower cost.7 The authors conceded that the thin cortex of the phalanx can be prone to failure during suture application.
Surgeons often do not prefer plate fixation of primary hallux osteotomies as plates are bulkier than screw fixation and can cause soft tissue irritation. Low profile plates may be a more practical plating solution.
Common Mistakes When Considering An Akin
The Akin is a powerful procedure that can give the illusion of correcting a bunion by simply repositioning the toe. Accordingly, it is not uncommon for surgeons to choose to perform bunion procedures that may not fully correct the intermetatarsal angle and may compensate for the shortcoming with an Akin procedure.
An example of this is when surgeons perform a distal first metatarsal osteotomy in conjunction with an Akin procedure for a bunion with a large intermetatarsal angle. While this may work in clinical practice, it is something to strongly consider avoiding as this combination may be more prone to cause bunion recurrence down the road.
Pertinent Insights On Using The Akin In Revision Bunion Surgery
I have found the Akin osteotomy to be particularly useful in revision bunion surgery, whether or not the patient previously had an Akin. Of course, an overcorrected Akin is the exception to this. Patients presenting with recurrent bunions complain of a toe that is still deviated or complain of the continued presence of a bunion. The possible reasons for recurrence are as follows: continued increased intermetatarsal angle, persistent medial eminence, unaddressed proximal articular set angle (PASA) deviation, incomplete adductor release and/or hallux interphalangeus. In my experience with recurrent bunions, there is a multifactorial cause for their recurrence.
The most common cause of recurrent bunions that I treat involves a distal metatarsal osteotomy or Lapidus malunion. Patients undergoing both of these procedures often have had a previous McBride and there tends to be some scar tissue within the first MPJ, which can limit the ability to gain a completely congruent joint. Once I correct the intermetatarsal angle (with another procedure) and a revision McBride procedure, the Akin procedure can provide additional correction to achieve a more rectus toe.
How To Repair An Overcorrected Akin
As with any osteotomy, the Akin osteotomy can also be subject to overcorrection. An overcorrected Akin does not produce a hallux varus per se. Rather, it produces a toe with an adducted tip. The hallux toenail will generally dictate an overcorrection and one often identifies it intraoperatively, although it can become more pronounced postoperatively.

Why My Son Has Autism
Monday, July 27th, 2009Charlie was born October 2001. I believe with every fiber of my being that my son would not have an autism diagnosis today, not be sick and suffering, if I had not allowed him to be vaccinated, if we had used non-toxic products around the house, and if I had taken more care to feed him only good, clean foods. I can never go back, never change the past; however, I can help others by sharing what happened to my son.
I've been an autism advocate for the past 4 years, a vaccine safety advocate for the past 2 years, a Generation Rescue Angel the past year. You wanna know something? I'm sick and damn tired of it. I'm tired of the uphill battle. I'm tired of the continued "debate" when we have so many children who have been affected by vaccines. I'm tired of the ND crowd attacking us and suggesting we do not accept our children or love our children. And I'm scared. I'm scared of the number of calls and emails I get each month via my Rescue Angel status. I don't want to get to know anyone else. I don't want to make more friends. I don't want to hear the same story over, and over, and over. I want this madness to stop. (more…)

Vietnam's Economy Reaches Crisis
Loss of Soviet aid, return of workers from abroad are latest blows
GERMAN reunification cost Nguyen Viet Hao his job. Two years ago, the Vietnamese laborer went to East Germany as a contract worker. That allowed East Germany, through the earnings Mr. Hao sent home, to fulfill communism's commitment to the developing world.
Then suddenly the cold war was over, the Berlin Wall came down, and the two Germanys raced to reunify. With his East German factory defunct and his contract canceled, Hao is back in Vietnam, waiting for work.
``This was sudden, just like the unification of Germany,'' he says. ``These economic problems are happening to East German people as well as Vietnamese people.''
Vietnam's economy, buttressed for years by East-bloc aid, is in crisis. The Soviet Union and Eastern European countries are abandoning fraternal aid for bare-knuckled commerce.
The new order is upending Vietnam, for years a loyal Soviet satellite. In the past five years, the Soviet Union plowed $16 billion into Vietnam, including an estimated $1.3 billion annually in military assistance. But now aid is disappearing. And starting next year, trade with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, about 60 percent of Vietnam's 1989 total, will be on a hard-cash basis. Vietnam is seeking to postpone payments on its $18 billion debt to the Soviet Union.
The economic changes already affect two crucial commodities. Vietnam, which used to get its entire fuel supply subsidized by the Soviets, now gets assistance with 70 percent of its supply. Fertilizer shipments are also down due to Soviet shortages. The lack of fertilizer will trim rice production and hard-currency exports, economists say.
Most difficult is the phaseout of labor cooperation programs, under which about 180,000 Vietnamese worked in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
In East Germany, the Vietnamese migrant group was particularly large, accounting for 58,000 of the country's 85,000 foreign laborers. German officials predict two-thirds will return home. Vietnamese arrive daily on flights from Eastern Europe, happily reuniting with their families and proudly displaying new stereos, motorcycles, and radios.
But ``the economic situation in Vietnam is very hard now. The government is not interested in workers returning from Eastern Europe, because they have nothing for them,'' says Dirk Hebecker, a former East German diplomat.

Has anyone used one of those online interactive whiteboards? Do you need other equipment besides the special whiteboard that allows you to create a visual that the person on the other end can see and interact with?
I would like to get into one-on-one tutoring online.It seems like this method of tutoring would work well. There would be no need for transportation to a tutoring center or a home.
Thanks for any suggestions.


text: The Black Stars drew 1-1 against what was affectively a third string Bafana Bafana side at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Complex on Sunday. Ghana went behind after six minutes when goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey misjudged an effort before Sulley Muntari drew them level with a header five minutes afterwards. "I think that it was a very useful game for us after one week of very very hard work here," the Serbian said. "During the seven days we had ten training sessions, two or three fitness training which is too much for the short time. Today the players showed good effort and I am very very satisfied." "Some of the details were good. Defence, attack and how we organised the game. The players were tired a little but I am sure for the game against Botswana, we will be 100%." Ghana will play their final practice match against Platinum Stars on Wednesday before travelling to Gabon on Friday.

The 1040EZ: box-by-box By Andrea Terry Abramowitz Bankrate.com
Now that you've gathered up all of your materials: your W-2's, 1099's, a pencil and a calculator, it's time to get down and dirty, and complete your federal income tax return.
Your task is relatively easy if you're using Form 1040EZ -- it's the simplest of the three forms used for tax returns.
How do you know if you can use Form 1040EZ?
Read the following eight statements, and respond "True" or "False" to each.
If any of the statements are false, you're going to have to use either Form 1040A or Form 1040. If all eight statements above are true, then get ready to fill out Form 1040EZ, Income Tax Return for Single and Joint Filers With No Dependents.
If you received a tax package from the IRS with a peel-off label including your name and address, just stick it on here. If any of the information is incorrect, you can make the correction directly on the label. Make sure any changes that you write in are easy to read. If you didn't receive a tax package, fill in the information requested, including your first name, middle initial and last name. If you're filing a joint return, include your spouse's first name, middle initial and last name. Then fill in your home address, including your ZIP code.
You must enter your Social Security number in the boxes provided in the upper right hand corner of the form. If you're married, whether you're filing jointly or separately, you must enter your spouse's Social Security number underneath yours. Be sure that any Social Security numbers on your return are identical to the Social Security numbers on the corresponding Social Security cards. The IRS will not process a return if it's missing a Social Security number, and you may end up paying a penalty.
Next comes a question about giving $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. You must check off either "Yes" or "No," and if you're married filing jointly, your spouse must do the same. No matter what the decision is, the amount of tax that you owe or the refund you receive will not be affected.
Line 1. Total wages, salaries and tips. For most people, this number comes from Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, which should be sent to you from all employers in 1999. If you (and your spouse) worked one job, write the number from box 1 on Form W-2 onto line 1 of Form 1040EZ. If you (and your spouse) worked more than one job, add up the numbers from box 1 on all of your W-2's, and put the total on line 1 of Form 1040EZ.
You must also include any wages you received as a household employee -- even if you didn't get a W-2 -- in the total on line 1 of Form 1040EZ.
And don't forget to attach copy B of all your W-2 forms in the space indicated on the 1040EZ.
Line 2. Taxable interest This includes interest that you receive from bank accounts and certain dividends. This number generally comes from box 1 on Form 1099-INT, Interest Income, sent by banks, savings and loans, and other payers of interest. Report the total amount of interest income that is shown on any Form 1099-INT that you received for 1999 on line 2 of Form 1040EZ. Reminder: your total taxable interest must be $400 or less. If the total comes to more than $400, you can't use Form 1040EZ.
Line 3. Unemployment compensation Unemployment compensation is subject to tax. If you received any unemployment compensation in 1999, you should have received a Form 1099-G showing the amount paid to you for the year. This number is included as part of the total entered on line 3.
Qualified state tuition program earnings Qualified tuition programs are established by a state and the earnings are free from tax within the program. When withdrawals are made, the earnings get included in taxable income. If this pertains to you, you should have received a Form 1099-G showing the earnings part of any distribution from the program. Include this number as part of the total entered on line 3.
Alaska Permanent Fund dividends This dividends program began in 1982 for Alaska residents. The money comes from the sale of oil pumped out of the ground in Alaska. Include any dividends you received in 1999 in the total of line 3.
Line 4. Adjusted gross income Add together the amounts on lines 1, 2 and 3. Enter the total on line 4. This is your adjusted gross income.
Line 5. Can your parents (or someone else) claim you on their return? Either check off the box on the left marked "Yes" or the box on the right marked "No."
If someone can claim you as a dependent, even if that person chooses not to, use the worksheet on page two of Form 1040EZ to determine the amount to enter on line 5.
If no one can claim you as a dependent, enter the appropriate amount on line 5:
Line 6. Taxable income Subtract line 5 from line 4; enter this amount on line 6. If line 5 is larger than line 4, enter 0 on line 6. The amount entered on line 6 is your taxable income.
Line 7. Federal income tax withheld Going back to your Form W-2, enter the amount from box 2 onto line 7 of Form 1040EZ. If you received a Form 1099-INT, 1099-G or 1099-OID showing that federal income tax was withheld (this should be in box 4 of all three forms), include this amount in the total on line 7 of the Form 1040EZ.
Line 8. Earned income credit This is a tax benefit for people who work, but don't earn high incomes. Those who qualify could pay less federal tax, or even get a tax refund. To see if you qualify for this credit, refer to page 15 of the 1040EZ instruction booklet.
Line 9. Total payments Add the amounts on lines 7 and 8a. These are your total payments.
Line 10. Tax Use the amount entered on line 6 to determine your tax. You'll need to use the tax table, which begins on page 24 of the1040EZ instruction booklet.
Line 11a. Refund If line 9 is larger than line 10, hooray, you're going to get money back from Uncle Sam. Subtract line 10 from line 9. The amount you calculate is your refund.
Line 11b. Routing number If you want to have your refund directly deposited to one of your bank accounts, fill in the routing number. The routing number must be nine digits. If you have any question about what your routing number is, contact your financial institution.
Line 11c. Type of account Check the appropriate box: checking or savings.
Line 11d. Account number Your account number can be up to 17 characters, consisting of both letters and numbers. Be sure not to include the check number.
Line 12. Amount you owe If line 10 is larger than line 9, then you'll have to dish out some money to the government. Subtract line 9 from line 10. The number you calculate is the amount you owe. If you pay by check or money order, make it out to the "United States Treasury." Enclose your payment with your return, but don't attach it to the form.
Finally, you've reached the end. Sign your name, and write in the date and your occupation. If you're filing a joint return, be sure that your spouse signs the bottom of the form as well. Form 1040EZ is considered incomplete if you don't sign it.
If everything is complete, pop the form into the mail. Mission complete!

Oh thank dog and praise cheeses –
…I feel so much better now –

Pat Robertson, a prominent Christian leader and social conservative, endorsed Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday.
"It is my pleasure to announce my support for America's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, a proven leader who is not afraid of what lies ahead and who will cast a hopeful vision for all Americans," Robertson said in a statement issued by the Giuliani campaign.
The former New York mayor backs abortion rights and gay rights, positions that put him in conflict with GOP orthodoxy, and has been trying to persuade cultural conservatives to overlook their differences with him on those issues.
Giuliani is best known to voters for leading New York in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Shortly after 9/11, Robertson released a statement in which he said the attacks occurred because Americans had insulted God and lost the protection of heaven by allowing abortion and "rampant Internet pornography."
Robertson made no mention of his differences with Giuliani on social issues in Wednesday's statement.
"Rudy Giuliani took a city that was in decline and considered ungovernable and reduced its violent crime, revitalized its core, dramatically lowered its taxes, cut through a welter of bureaucratic regulations, and did so in the spirit of bipartisanship which is so urgently needed in Washington today," Robertson said.
Conservatives have split in their support for the leading Republican candidates. Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback planned to endorse John McCain on Wednesday. Mitt Romney recently announced that Paul Weyrich and Bob Jones III were on board with his candidacy.
Robertson, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 1988, founded the Christian Broadcasting Network, the Christian Coalition and Regent University in Virginia Beach.
Oh thank dog and praise cheeses –
…I feel so much better now –
There is no doubt these two deserve each other.Gods messenger now has the man to open the gates of hell on earth for him,make way for the crusades.CBN and the CC are criminal enterprises based on a heavenly pyramid scheme.For money I will save your soul,"for Rudy",says Robertson ,"I will sell mine and yours".Truly, the good die young, and the despots remain to rule the world…
Seems like the "Kiss of Death" to me.
Robertson has very little credibility left except amongst his fellow whacked out Christofascists.
Pat Robertson a Christian leader? Robertson may say he is Christian and say some christian stuff, But as Jesus says;
*** Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.***
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
By their fruits (works) shall thou know them.
This is a true saying.
By their fruits will you know whether they are true or false to the teachings of the Messiah.
Of course I guess you have to have discernment to judge the spirit which is in a man, but just by his works should people be able to see the truth. But the saying is true. They have eyes but do not see, and ears but do not hear.
Most Christian leaders of today? Are they true or are they false? In my opinion?
They be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Hopefully The truth will not be judged by what is perceived from such "prophets".
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you,
And many shall follow their (false prophets/teachers/leaders) pernicious (damnable or destructive) ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
How does Rudy feel about being endorsed by someone who doesn't believe in evolution? (Same goes for McCain – Brownback doesn't believe in it either)
No religious organization should be allowed to endorse any candidate or influence any laws. There is a separation of church and state. If they do, they should lose their tax exempt status. Contact your congress to pass a law!!!!
The good news is that this will hurt Rudy, not help him.
Oh, and how do the evangelicals feel about Rudy having an affair and having his wife find out that he's divorcing her by way of a press conference, and then having his mistress and his wife living in the Mayor's mansion at the same time? If this was Bill Clinton, they would be burning him at the stake!
What ignorant hypocrites
Rudy just received the equivalent of a mafia godfather's kiss of "dxxxh". Pat Robertson is a christian nutcase par excellence…! Rudy, the "nut" is now linked with Pat, the "nut"…!
I'm sure Rudy the conniver was thinking thanks; but, no thanks when Robertson came forward.
Thanks Pat for sending the self-imagined Rudy the "juggernaut" to the bottom! To me it was like delivering double MK48's amidships to the Giuliani "juggernaught"… :)) Hasta la vista Rudeeeee!

That won't happen with all those trained dogs taking care of them. But they failed to get behind with the coppertone. They've had to pull Bush back so many times his butt is sunburned.
