What Lies Between the Lines...
They don't tell you about the nights when you'll cry; when you'll curse and rave and throw wadded up tissues at the monitor. They don't tell you about the number of times you'll want to throw your pencil or brush or tablet pen in the garbage disposal and flip the switch.
They don't tell you about the time spent painting insane detail onto tiny things that no one will ever see, ever appreciate, ever understand except to say "nice" or "pretty" or "wow"--none of which ever come close to how you felt when you painted it. How you felt when you stepped back and stared and were awed for a moment that you had pulled something like *that* out of your brain and your hands and your skill. They dont tell you how it will feel, for that one moment, to glow like a god, having just created a world.
They don't tell you how it's going to feel when that isn't enough. They don't tell you that sometimes it will never be enough--there will always be someone whose second best, or tossed off sketch will always be better than your best.
They don't tell you about the long hours, the late hours, the hours that you lose when you're in the zone and the ticking of the clock is no more noticeable to you than breathing. They don't tell you about the nights when you'll lay there agonizing over a layout for hours; your eyes painting images on the ceiling; or the mornings when it will suddenly mesh together like magic and your brush will almost fly.
They don't tell you that you'll have to steal the time between other things, that putting the pen down will be as agonizing as chopping off a finger or a hand. They dont tell you that youll have to do this several times a day.
They never tell you that sometimes, often in fact, the inspiration won't be there. Or that you'll have to find it anyway.
They don't tell you that it's never fair. That sometimes it's popularity that counts, not skill; that sometimes it's skill that counts, not talent; that sometimes it's talent that counts, not effort; and that sometimes effort is the only thing you'll have.
They don't tell you that you'll never really be respected. That you'll feel like the unicorn in the menagerie: a beautiful curiosity that most people will still suspect is a fake.
They don't tell you that you'll be expected to give it away, over and over, that they want you to be freer with your skills than a back alley whore, that they'll never even think you're worth a dime until you charge them 10,000 dimes for a sketch.
They don't tell you that the only way you get respect is to respect yourself and your skills and your abilities...and that sometimes doing that will be harder than you can possibly imagine.
They don't tell you these things, because in the end, it'd be pointless.
If you love it, you'll do it anyway.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) - Dance to Bristol held off Book Review by a head Friday in the $500,000 Ballerina Stakes for fillies and mares at Saratoga Race Course.
``She got a sharp break and I asked her to settle, and she did it,'' Perez said. ``I put her right behind the leaders and she just dropped the bit and got comfortable. When I asked her at the five-sixteenths to move, she responded pretty good and gave me a hundred percent and just kept going. When she felt that horse, Book Review, coming on the outside, she just kept digging in.''
The winner earned $300,000 for owner Susan H. Wantz.
``Her will to win is what makes her special,'' Figgins said. ``Book Review had dead aim on her inside the eighth pole. Once she saw her coming, she just wouldn't let her by.''
Figgins was asked if Dance to Bristol will go straight to the Breeders' Cup.
``We'll get her back to the barn, see how she is, and go from there,'' Figgins said. ``Once again, she's a very easy filly, she lets you know how she is. If she bounces out of the race well, then we may look for something.''
Book Review returned $2.90 and $2.40, and Villanesca paid $4.50 to show.

Review: AppMenu Magic replaces text with icons on your menu bar
Swap out the menu text for the active app on your Mac with an icon.
AppMenu Magic is less of an app than a script that changes the way the name of each app displays in the menu bar. It does this very well, however, actively changing on the fly the name of every app you have open to the icon for that app in the menu bar. Installation takes a moment as key system settings are revised, but afterwards, it runs seamlessly in the background whenever you start a new app.
After downloading the DMG from the developer you must install the script, which requires a handful of steps through a traditional installation screen. This takes a couple of minutes, but the system will handle all of the heavy lifting -- there is no technical work here and no copy-pasting of files. After installation, some menus will reset and your computer will log out. Once logged back in, you'll notice that the name of the currently active app is changed to its icon in the top-left corner of the menu bar. This is cool in its own right, but it also frees up some valuable space on the bar. If you ever want to turn the script off, there is an option in the file menu for every app.
Installation may take a few minutes, but it is still fairly easy, and this script will continue running smoothly in the background, replacing the text with an icon on your menu bar. It's a fun and relatively useful app for a number of different things.

What does this really mean? Does this mean that the searchers will see the results that currently are in Beta?
Thank you. Erku
keep going!
Bring the heat MSN! Google deserves it!
OMG its msnbot!
good that they are finally doing real testing though, that's a positive.
Done, and you're right. It's a cookie thing.
I guess to really check out what's happening you'd have to delete all your search.msn and beta.search.msn cookies, then go back to the site with cookies on. My suspicion is that only users with cookies on will see the beta results, since they need to track everything you do to get meaningful data back.
That would be educational, a test: if you see beta results on msn, delete all msn, search.msn, and beta.search.msn cookies, close the browser to dump any session cookies, open it, reload the page, which should set a brand new cookie. Are you still getting msn beta results?
I had cookies turned off in IE and was getting the regular search.msn.com results - all cookies deleted from my machine. When I turned cookies on, in IE, I then got the beta.search.msn.com results.
For example, I have optimized a page around a keyphrase and a page that references that page is outranking it right now. Makes no sense at all.
I had the exact same thing happen when they modified their algo this week, exactly that. The main page is an authority type document, easy to find, linked to by authority sites. The secondary page has a single link to the other page, using the keywords in the link text. The keywords only occur in that combination in the link to the real page. There are about 4 pages that could be considered as decent responses, none as accurate as the main one. The top 10 page that is currently being returned is not one of them.
I have the same on google SERPS for my keywords - except the pages that refernce my home page are just keywords, in the link text, on the links page of another site! Incidently, that other site's home page has less PR than mysite's smallest PR page and its not on topic!
How would that make you feel? Talk about rubbing your nose in it.
That makes no sense! - welcome to the sandbox!
I thought google would have these issues worked out at least 6 months ago, the fact that they haven't suggests that they made a pretty big mistake, 10 to 1 that mistake was related to something they did for their IPO, like boosting their income artificially.
MSN's strategy is very strategic... 1) They will be showing more sites created for adsense 2) They will be decreasing people's dependancy on Adwords These two things combined will definitely cut into Google's profit model.
To some extent, Yahoo is doing the same thing, but to a lesser degree.
Folks, 2005 is going to see a major upheaval, and I think it will be good for the Webmaster. No longer will one engine decide who ranks and who doesn't. And the biggest player is seeing some major competition, thereby diversifying the playing field.
I am looking forward to my best year ever! Thanks MSN! (for the new sites) Thanks Google! (for the old sites) Thanks Yahoo! (for the in between sites) :)
I don't think the sandbox was created FOR a purpose, I think it came about BECAUSE of something else. It's simply too stupid to have been anything other than a reaction to concrete circumstances. The fact that it's still in place suggests strongly to me that those other circumstances are still not fixed.
dvduval, that's a very interesting interpretation of msn's strategy, very interesting. And it would fit exactly with how MS does business. Attack your opponent, destroy their profit center. That's exactly how they beat netscape.
MS has (rightfully) had this treatment thrown at them; one presumes they know how to return the favour :-D

Review Summary:
The Panasonic GH2 builds on the already solid foundation of the GH1 and G2. It produces excellent image quality from an exceptionally small camera body.
The Lumix GH2, more so than its GF1 and GF2 counterparts, is built on the form factor of a traditional DSLR. The lack of a mirror box and everything that makes Micro Four Thirds so micro means that it's substantially smaller than any currently available DSLR.
New to the GH2 is a 16.05 megapixel Live MOS sensor. The ISO range stretches up to 12800, and the new sensor offers a faster readout speed bumping up full-resolution burst shooting to 5 frames per second.
The GH2's touchscreen is one of its primary differentiating features from the GH1. The touchscreen offers touch shutter and touch AF functions. You'll either like these options and use them or ignore them completely, and that's just fine with Panasonic. More than enough physical controls are provided, making the touchscreen a take-it-or-leave it feature.

Government, Politics, and Reform
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln are all represented in the Museum's collections—by a surveying compass, a lap desk, and a top hat, among other artifacts. But the roughly 100,000 objects in this collection reach beyond the possessions of statesmen to touch the broader political life of the nation—in election campaigns, the women's suffrage movement, labor activity, civil rights, and many other areas. Campaign objects make up much of the collection, including posters, novelties, ballots, voting machines, and many others. A second group includes general political history artifacts, such as first ladies' clothing and accessories, diplomatic materials, ceremonial objects, national symbols, and paintings and sculptures of political figures. The third main area focuses on artifacts related to political reform movements, from labor unions to antiwar groups.
"Government, Politics, and Reform - Overview" showing 2 items.
"Migrant Mother," by Dorothea Lange
- Description
- During the Great Depression, government photographer Dorothea Lange took this picture at a migrant farmworkers' camp near Nipomo, California. Lange's brief caption recorded her impressions of the family's plight: "Destitute pea pickers ... a 32-year-old mother of seven children."
- First published in a San Francisco newspaper, this poignant image became one of the most famous photographs of the Depression era, emblematic of the hardships suffered by poor migrant families. The "migrant mother," anonymous for many years, was later identified as Oklahoma native Florence Thompson.

- Description
- John L. Lewis, one of America's foremost labor leaders, wore this badge at the 1936 United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) convention.
- Born in an Iowa coal-mining camp, Lewis went to work in the mines at age fifteen. He rose quickly as a labor leader, becoming president of the UMWA in 1920, and later helped found the Congress of Industrial Organizations. Lewis led a successful struggle to organize industrial workers, improving wages, safety, and benefits.

The Commissioner's Guide to Proper Etiquette tips & tricks to ensure that the artist does not hate your guts after you commission them //edit//Take the time to realize this is aimed at commissioners, not artists. Yes, there are a ton of things artists fuck up on, trust me, I know. Oh, I know. However that alone could be a whole 'nother journal- which I might go ahead and do because I've had frustrating experiences with artists. When I'm talking about bad commissioners here though, I'm talking about the worst of the worst. Why on earth do I think a timid question 3 weeks after your commission was accepted asking about how it's going is "badgering"?These are things I've witnessed, I'm talking about the horribly entitled, belittling, superior attitude commissioners! The ones that send you a billion notes and PMs asking when their art will be done, and rudely, when it's only been 3 days! So no, I'm not saying artists should step all over you- because trust me, some will. And by god, they sh
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG! <3To start this off, HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG! Considering all the hype I caused by asking people what Sonic meant to them, naturally, people began asking what Sonic meant to ME. A lot of people know I like Sonic, for more than just his games, but not many people know the details. Not many people know how I met Sonic in the first place or why I got interested and decided to buy Sonic Colours.And not many people (only one or two I think) know just how much Sonic has helped me through all the rough times in my life.Just a warning, this is going to be very real. I don't care that I'm talking about a fictional character behind a glass screen. He's so much more than that.And I hope I don't make anyone cry. I was in tears typing this. :')I've only known Sonic for about a year and seven months, from the time Colours came out to now. I am rather late to the party. I was actually a Mario fan first, and that was the reason I knew about Sonic, because of their fierce rival
I am going to change my usernameto666xxH0txSeXygurl4u_6969xx
1st journal ever... and what Sonic means to meI've been meaning to write journals a while now. Mostly because it's a great place to put all the random crap I come up with... and possibly do some of those freaky, funny meme things. I just never got round to start. But then I came across this journal of :icondc111:'s http://dc111.deviantart.com/journal/Sonic-the-Hedgehog-lt-3-warning-I-kinda-melted-295373977 . I wanted to write a comment at first, but even the first paragraphs shaped out to become something lengthy and meaningful (the heck?), so I decided it's worthy material for my first ever journal entry. So, in a way, you may blame DC for giving me material to randomly spam this site with now. Okay. I guess :iconredfiregreenthunder5: started it that people explain what Sonic means to them. I'm doing it here now. Beware, it turned out very personal I think.You know, I got into Sonic with Sonic Advance. It was kind of a chance event, I had busted my old gameboy color (which I never really played much with lol) and went to
My patron troll is actually Gamzee!Ew..I'm here to tell you how to find your ~ACTUAL~ patron troll! John Egbert was born April 13th, which actually makes him an Aries. But Aradia isn't his patron troll, it's Vriska. Here's why~ April is the 4th month of the year, thus making his birthday 4-13 in those number date things. Then, you smoosh all the numbers together, and create the number we all know and love! 413! Now put addition signs between each of the numbers. 4+1+3= 8. WOOOAHHH. Who's the 8th sign in the Zodiac? VRISKA. Woah man!Next, Jade! Her birthday is December 1st. Which is 12-2. And together 121. 1+2+2= 4. Who's the fourth sign in the Zodiac? Cancer!! Thus Jade's patron troll is Karkat. Rose: December 3rd. 12-3. 123. 1+2+3= 6. Virgo is the sixth sign in the Zodiac. Thus, Kanaya is Rose's patron troll. Dave: Dave: December 4th. 12-4. 124. 1+2+4= 7. Libra is the seventh sign in the Zodiac. Thus, Terezi is Dave's patron troll. Woah man, did I just blow your mind? I hope so. This also helps me remember all the ki
Sonic the Hedgehog. <3 [warning: I kinda meltedLife isn't always easy. There's a lot of things to be doubtful or uncertain about. Mind drifting back and forth, never really deciding if it's okay or not.But one thing that I know is never gonna change is my love for that little blue spiky thing named Sonic.So, this entry is to tell you about that. Lately I've seen a lot of this going around, and RedFireGreenThunder5 has this lovely little journal asking people what Sonic means to them. This is my answer to that, but more importantly, it's something I wanna post without connecting it too much to any preceding comment, that way I can copy/paste the next time someone asks me this that way it's not biased for or against anyone else's view. Because, y' know, I've never actually put it that way before. And, fair warning, this is going to be very... real. I really don't - CAN'T - care that Sonic is just a fictional character. It's gonna sound like I'm talking about a real person here. For as much as he's gotten me through, and as many opp

Tips on insulting people over the internetSince everyone who insults me seems to think they're actually upsetting me and i'm just hiding it by laughing roflI hate how every time someone says something hilariously weird that is meant to insult me and I post it in a journal because, well it's just so funny and i don't think they meant it to be, that they get all their friends to post on me saying "YOU'RE JUST INSECURE, DON'T TRY TO COVER IT UP"well, no, if i was insecure i would probably be writing a journal about how mean they are and how i take everything seriously, including really funny insults from STRANGERS ON THE INTERNETyeah, this is the internet.-Why would i bother wasting my energy getting upset about what someone i have never and will never meet says to me?Now, if someone in real life called me a DUMB ASS LOBOTOMIZED WHAT FEOTUS or a AUTISTIC WEEABOO FAGGOT i would probably just crack up laughing because of how fucking ridiculous they soundSo, why shouldn't I do the same on the internet?Seriously, if you're goi

An article recently covered in the Science-Magazine by Searchinger, Kammen et al. provokes an engaged discussion on carbon accounting techniques of biofuels. The original paper pointed out legal loopholes in the Kyoto Protocol, the European Cap and Trade System and the Waxman-Markey bill, which neglect carbon emissions caused by deforestation to clear the land for the production of biofuels. At BiofuelsDigest.com press coverage of the issue by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times are synthesized with a statement of the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA).
Searchinger, et al Science paper say treaty rules for bioenergy emissions encourage deforestation; strong industry reaction
Biofuels could increase greenhouse gases: US studies
WASHINGTON — US experts warn that rules governing biofuel production encourage deforestation and mean the technology is therefore a "false" method of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In a study to be published Friday in the US journal Science, a group of 13 scientists called for the rules, which contain a loophole exempting carbon dioxide emitted by bioenergy regardless of its source, to be overturned.
Science article on GHG accounting misses the mark on biofuels
This article takes a dismissive perspective on recent critical findings on biofuels published in the Science Magazine. There, Dan Kammen and other climate experts pointed out a loophole in the current wording of the Kyoto Protocol which should be addressed at the negotiations in Copenhagen. They state that biofuels may have negative carbon footprints due to potential prior deforestation.
Fixing a Critical Climate Accounting Error
The accounting now used for assessing compliance with carbon limits in the Kyoto Protocol and in climate legislation contains a far-reaching but fixable flaw that will severely undermine greenhouse gas reduction goals. It does not count CO2 emitted from tailpipes and smokestacks when bioenergy is being used, but it also does not count changes in emissions from land use when biomass for energy is harvested or grown. This accounting erroneously treats all bioenergy as carbon neutral regardless of the source of the biomass, which may cause large differences in net emissions.

I have to disagree with the advice to watch them in order. I don't think it really matters. Plenty of people got into the franchise with one of the spin-off series and only later (if at all) went back and watched the earlier ones. If you try to force yourself to get through The Original Series first, you might get turned off because frankly it is not for everyone. Not saying it isn't a classic, but older shows, like classic movies, are not everyone's cup of tea.
The Next Generation is my personal favorite. You will find a lot of partisans for Deep Space 9 too. The biggest difference is that TNG was very episodic; each episode is more or less completely self contained, and it doesn't matter all that much what order you watch them in. DS9 was the opposite. It featured some very long, involved story arcs that you really can't watch out of order. DS9 is also said to be grittier, perhaps a bit less idealistic than the other Trek series. One awesome thing about DS9 was the story of the Federation-Klingon-Dominion war which was really interesting and had the best battle scenes ever in trek. Really cinematic sci-fi. Yes, the war arc was a gimmic to revive a show with sagging ratings but it was well done none the less and made for great entertainment. I personally found the characters on TNG much more compelling and never got attached to any of the DS9 characters the same way I did the crew on TNG.
Voyager and Enterprise have their fans, but neither one was ever terribly popular. Voyager is just unbearably moralistic. Janeway was insufferable with her stupid decisions designed to show how principled and righteous the Federation was. Enterprise screwed around with Trek continuity a lot, and if you happen to watch it first you'll wonder why hardly any of the species from that (earlier) time period are ever around in the later time periods depicted in the earlier shows.

Thanks to everyone for thier replies.
I have viwed the The Doomday Machine, and The Corbomite Manoeuvre. But neither seem to click.
Please note that the episode did not have a large Star Trek crew, but only a few people inside a small spaceship.
The main character is able to hold the attention of the audience, inside this spaceship, not the outer space etc.
Also this ship has several small rooms, of a light brown color.

That is not from any episode of Star Trek: The Original Series at all. It sounds like it could possibly be an episode of The Next Generation. But you really haven't given us much to go on, such as a single character that was in it, any aliens involved, etc... and of course you're not sure about the plot either. Can you tell us anything else at all?

As someone whose only recently found a love for Star Trek (I thought the show moved to slowly when I was a hyperactive kid wanting to watch cartoons), I'll tell you what I did.
I started with TNG cause that's what I remember when I was a kid. I watched a few from the original series just to see what it was like. Then I watched the first two seasons in their entirety. It didn't take long to figure out my favorite episodes involve Data, Q, and the Borg. So I went to this website:
I looked up all the episodes with Q and the Borg, then watched them on Netflix. If you find that you love the series, but don't think you are a die-hard fan, this is the best way to enjoy the series. Watch a few episodes to see what you like.
Also worth seeing William Shatner's acting in this series. It makes all the pop cultural references to it that much more clear.Last edited by Irrelevant; December 28th, 2011 at 02:20 AM. Reason: PS

Loved the design!
Garden with a Twist Rectangle Invitations We fell in love with this design and loved how easy it was to personalize it for ourselves. Only issue we had was that we had a limited space on the bottom, we wanted to add more information but it couldn't be done.
Perfect Invite
Patterned Billy Ball Foldover Pockets The patterned billy ball foldover pocket invitation turned out better then i could ever have imagined! I have gotten so many compliments on them! Magnet street does a wonderful job!
Bliss, is right! ... part two
Botanical Bliss Pocket Invitations Loved our Botanical Bliss save the date magnets, and love our pocket invitations just as much, if not MORE! Happy with our paper selection of Luxe Pearl, for how it adds that extra something; silver is one of our accent colors, and so the pearly sheen helps to dress and fancy up the invitation. I have a few critiques though, despite my love for this product: 1) I'm not a big fan of the Luxe Pearl envelope style, since (and MagnetStreet does include a disclaimer about this) it's hard to get stamps, labels, etc. to really stick well to it, 2) there's no slit in the front to insert the top into the bottom so that it closes flat, and 3) the RSVP Postcard and Enclosure Card are the same size, so there isn't one larger to make it so they stagger inside the pocket.
Love them!!

Kellen Winslow TE NYJ Jun 29 '7814 Comments
Profootballtalk confirms Kellen Winslow has passed his physical with the Patriots.
With Aaron Hernandez (ankle) and Visanthe Shiancoe (hamstring) sidelined and Michael Hoomanawanui struggling badly in Week 2, the Pats needed depth for two-tight end sets. With no experience in Josh McDaniels offense, Winslow can't be counted on for an impact in fantasy leagues. Hernandez owners should target Brent Celek, Dennis Pitta or Martellus Bennett instead.
Trevon22 Jun 30 '78
i have Celek, Pitta and Bennett on the waviers in my 10 team league. getting one of them cause of Hernandez going down.
Da18thLetter28 Jun 29 '78
My question is, What kind of garbage leagues still have Celek, Pitta and Bennett available? Must be 4 team leagues or something.
Perrone96 Jun 30 '78
Bennett and Pitta just got picked up. Guys probably want to see what they have after the 2nd week as Pitta and Bennett were not drafted. I contemplated dropping Olsen for one of those guys but missed out, but I also have Tony Gonzalez so he will be my starter going forward. All the Olsen hype in the preseason seems to be just that - hype. I drafted Bennett in my 10 team league and need to start him now since Hernandez is down. It's only two weeks in, too early to tell if Bennett and Pitta will be major contributors the entire season, especially Pitta. At least Bennett doesn't have much competition at his position, but the Ravens also have Dickson as well.
Moger_Goodell Jun 30 '78
A lot of players don't carry two TE's, especially if you cant flex them. Let's see if off the top of my head I can name twelve TE's who might start in fantasy over Bennet, Pitta, and Brent...
Gronk, Graham, Hernandez, Witten, Gates,Tamme, Gonzo,Davis, Finley,Fred Davis,Keller....all guys I'd take over Pitta, and Bennet atleast. Celek's a monster, but a lot of folks don't realize it if they don't watch the Birds much......
G-R-I-M Jun 29 '78
I like Winslow in this spot - Look the guy does not need to carry the load with Gronk lined up with him and he's going to see 1 on 1 coverage vs a LB or nickle back at best - As for learning the offense - REALLY? - Who the hell comes up with this stuff - Winslow is a veteran who runs great routes - my only question is what kind of shape he might be in. 75/756 in TB's run 1st offense last year isn't bad....
PrincessMarcy Jun 30 '78
i had Winslow on my roster and F Davis. So i am hoping that Winslow will start and Gronk get double team. hoping for at least 4 cathes, 55 yrs and 1 td. Not asking for too much.

I am so utterly disgusted by the politicians who make it to the top. This is the fault of the faux news organizations, other politicians, and each and every one of us who do not take to the streets – myself included.
So it seems McCain is the best this corrupt party has to offer – little wonder he is cut from the same cloth.
It is really a wonder that I have not heard of any of this on any of the news. … what a shocker
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.

The question to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, at last night's debate: "Do you reserve a right as American president to go back into Iraq once you have withdrawn with sizable troops in order to quell any kind of insurrection or civil war?"
Obama's answer: "As commander in chief, I will always reserve the right to make sure that we are looking out for American interests. And if al Qaeda is forming a base in Iraq, then we will have to act in a way that secures the American homeland and our interests abroad. So that is true, I think, not just in Iraq, but that's true in other places. That's part of my argument with respect to Pakistan. I think we should always cooperate with our allies and sovereign nations in making sure that we are rooting out terrorist organizations. But if they are planning attacks on Americans like what happened on 9/11, it is my job, it will be my job as president to make sure that we are hunting them down."
At a town hall meeting in Tyler, Texas, this morning, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took issue with Obama's "if al Qaeda is forming a base in Iraq" phrase.
"I am not embarrassed to tell you that I did not watch the Democratic debate last night, but I am told that Sen. Obama made a statement that is Al Qaeda came back to Iraq after he withdraws, after the American troops are withdrawn, then he would send military troops back to its Al Qaeda established base in Iraq.
"I have some news — Al Qaeda is in Iraq," McCain said to laughter. "It's called: 'Al Qaeda in Iraq."
"And my friends, if we left, they would not be establishing a base. They would be taking a country and I am not going to allow that to happen. I will not surrender to Al Qaeda."
Watch the video HERE.
As reported by ABC News' Bret Hovell and Sunlen Miller, Obama responded to this, saying, "I said well I would always reserve the right to go in and strike against al Qaeda if they were in Iraq, so ya know, this is how politics works. McCain thought that he could make a clever point by saying 'well let me give you some news Barack, al Qaeda IS in Iraq,' like I wasn't reading the papers, like I — like I didn't know what was going on. Well, first of all, I DO know that al Qaeda is in Iraq, that's€™s why I've said we should continue to strike al Qaeda targets. But I have some news for John McCain, and that is that there was no such thing as al Qaeda in Iraq until George Bush and John McCain decided to invade Iraq! I've got some news for John McCain: he took us into war along with George bush that should have never been authorized and should have never been waged."
Obama finished, "I've been paying attention, John McCain! That's the news. So John McCain may like to say he wants to follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell but so far all he's done is follow George Bush into a misguided war in Iraq that's cost us thousands of lives and billions of dollars. I intend to bring [it] to an end so that we can actually start going after al Qaeda in Afghanistan and in the hills of Pakistan like we should have been doing in the first place! That's the news John McCain!"
I don't doubt that Obama knew that Al Qaeda in Iraq exists, but I also think it's clear he doesn't think of the group as a threat to stability in the region as much as McCain does.
Expect McCain to hit Obama on national security over and over and over.
McCain's interest in kitchen table issues beyond knowing the difference between Medicaid and Gatorade might not impress you, but his depth of knowledge — if not his judgment — on national security issues and foreign affairs is leaps and bounds more encyclopedic than Obama's.
And I suspect presented with month after month of McCain pounding Obama as out of his depth on life-or-death issues, suburban moms and swing voters may not be as forgiving of Obama's various misstatements and missteps as Madison liberals and, well, some in the media.

Saint Martha Novena
Mommy Mantra July 22, 2014: Micah 7: 14-15, 18-20, John 20: 1-2, 11-18
Today we celebrate Mary Magdalene. Many use this Gospel to point out that this is a story of Mary Magdalene's growing and transforming faith. They point out that she went to the tomb in the earliest of morning hours while it was still dark, saying the symbolism of the early darkness is Mary's unbelief, further saying that her running away from the tomb was her running from her growing faith, only to have that faith pull her back to seeking for Jesus, finding him she grips onto him hard not wanting to let him go.
Now, I don't see the Gospel in the same way. Mary Magdalene traveled with Jesus, she is mentioned by name 12 times, more than many disciples, and she is the one who stands at the cross as Jesus dies. This is not the action of a shrinking violet of faith.
In the Gospel of Mark 16, Mary goes to the tomb with three others; they find the tomb empty but they do not run away. They confront an angel in the tomb and ask after Jesus.
Gospel of Matthew 28 also has the women, this time two, coming to find Jesus gone and have an encounter with an angel who comes to them in an earthquake. Again both women stay to hear what the angel has said and goes to tell the men the good news.
Gospel of Luke 24 has two other women joining Mary on her way to visit the tomb. They also encounter an angel, receive the good news and tell it to the disciples. They are perplexed, but no where do they seem to be afraid of the angel or to hear the news.
In two of the Gospels she does not running away, but standing there, perhaps confused, amazed, afraid, but she is till there. In the one other Gospel where she does run she doesn't go far and her reaction is because suddenly she is face to face with an angel who comes in an earthquake and is so dazzling that he looks like lightning, I'd run too!
It's very interesting John's take. His Gospel is said to be written from the perspective of an eye witness account, so is his Gospel closer to what really happened and the others interpret the events according to their audience and their understanding, or need to understand, the message of Christ? I don't like seeing Mary Magdalene as weak, fearful. She is the one that Jesus casts out the seven demons. She is usually thought of as the second-most important woman in the New Testament after Mary, the mother of Jesus. It is interesting that in Aramaic, "Magdala" means "tower" or "elevated, great, magnificent, because she alone is the first to see Jesus at the Resurrection.
To me her association with Jesus gives her confidence and strength. She is a woman so transformed by her experience of and association with Jesus that her life is never the same.
Today let's pray for each others transformation.
What Would Mary Do.
Thinking about the reading and Gospel and the random acts we can do; here is one.
This older mom pays for the nappies of a young struggling mom. For the younger mom it is an answer prayer. For the older, she feels like a hero.
Her feeling like hero isn't a sign of selfishness. No! It's a sign that she knows she has done her part in the mission of Christ. It may be something the older mom will forget. But I know the younger mom never will.
We are going to a birthday party for our Godson; it will be his first, and an exciting time for family and friends. It is a time for us to rejoice in this little boy's life, looking back at all the milestones, not just the little boy's but the parents as well; and with today being the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary it will be interesting for his mom to view this first year through Mary's own experience.
Susan Netter wrote in her Facebook posting yesterday of Mary "pondering all these things in her heart", and how parenting is hard, and we as "modern moms" ponder many things in our hearts. The Gospel this morning certainly reveals that Mary was going through experiences that we have go through or will with our own children. We see a teen age Jesus acting as teen age children do: exploring and expressing his own understanding of who he was becoming. And as older moms know and have experienced that process can be difficult, fear riddled and angering, the beginning of the letting process that is nature but not always liked by moms: seeing our children grow up, form their own response to God's calling, and leaving the nest.
Did Mary, as she was searching for Jesus, look back on her life raising Jesus and see his milestones from infant to then and did she wonder if those memories would be her last? Did she vacillate between anger at Jesus being gone to her own doubts and worries to hope that Jesus is OK?
When Mary and Joseph stood at the Temple door looking in I don't think they knew what as going on. It's clear from the Gospel they didn't, Jesus had to tell them why he was there and what he was doing. For our Godson the future is open, and the path being made. Mom and Dad are helping to forge that path, but it is our Godson who will be walking it. Like Mary and Joseph each decision whether conscientiously made or not helped shape Jesus' journey but not the only influence, just as is true for our own children. And just as true of Mary and Joseph prayer, hope, and thoughtful guidance will be the best thing for our children
Mommy Mantra for September 28, 2013: Pay attention to what I am telling you. (Luke 9:44)
Friday, Jesus asked who do we think he is. And at times it sounds like who do you think I am; almost as if he is asking us do we think he is someone who does magic tricks instead of someone who is God of our life. He is very insistent that we pay attention; look around our lives/situations/events/relationships for evidence of his working in our lives. He is going to the cross. Going to suffer and die. He wants us to see how his suffering will free us from fearing our own. He wants us to see the glory. He wants us to see.
This is a form of Ignatian Spiritual Exercise: Contemplation prayer. Ignatius thought the use of our imaginations was a true gift from God; through it we could become one with those in Scripture and create a better understanding of God. With this exercise we choose a Scripture passage, I have chosen Luke 10: 41-42, the Martha/Mary passage and am asking us to replace the name Martha with our own. The passage would then read:
The Lord said to her in reply,
"Patty/Wilson, Patty/Wilson (Martha, Martha), you are anxious and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing.
Mary has chosen the better part
and it will not be taken from her."
What does doing that do to you…does it change the Gospel message for you?
This Sunday was the Gospel, Luke 10: 41 – 42, of Martha and Mary…that famous Gospel of Martha feeling a little tender about being the only one working. She has been working in the kitchen preparing to serve our Lord while her sister Mary sits at Jesus' feet. Martha feels cheated, perhaps a little betrayed, the old: why am I ALWAYS the one who gets the grunt work, kinda thing; it is something I know I have felt more than once as a mom; why is it no one can ever ________________.
But read this portion of the Gospel as if Jesus is speaking to you, personally, and see if it just doesn't shake up something in you:
The Lord said to her in reply,
"Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing.
Mary has chosen the better part
and it will not be taken from her."
I know it did in me!
We are mothers, we bear the marks of that journey. Let's work to heal our souls from all the lies we were told and we have told ourselves about who and what we are. Let's work toward being good role models of hope, faith and love, instead of fear, worry and concern. Let's work toward being healthy not perfect. Let's proclaim our Baptismal roles of Priest (nurturer), Prophet, (teacher) and Queen, (protector)
Mommy Mantra for July 1, 2013: "For the sake of those ten, I will not destroy it." (Genesis 18:32)
I certainly jumped on the Paula Deen bandwagon, in fact I jumped around on it until it was splitters! I was already feeling a bit chagrined at being a bit pompous about Paula Deen when I read this morning's readings….Yes Lord.
So I want to confess: I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters,that I have greatly sinned,in my thoughts and in my words,in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,through my fault, through my fault,through my most grievous fault;therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,all the Angels and Saints,and you, my brothers and sisters,to pray for me to the Lord our God.
While I feel a certain uneasiness with the Paula Deen saga, I have no right to condemn her…..that is the right of God and God's alone. I do see that there is a lesson in this for ALL of us. There is the obvious, that the way one treats another is how we show how we love God. But then there is the speck in my sister's eye while I have a plank in mine! It may have felt like I was justified in my attitude toward Paula, but really was I, and ultimately what did it advance; anything, no.
In all things there are lessons to be learned and mine was to be patient and hopeful that we can create change through our forgiveness of others and our willingness to accept our own part in any negative situation so that we can change ourselves for the better and finally that our striving to try and be respectful to all will some day create the Kingdom of God here on Earth. I lesson I must take to heart!
(I am stealing this from our Pastor, who writes this at the end of all his bulletin remarks) Please Pray for me and I will pray for you.
I love this exchange with Edd Fairman. Edd has recently married my niece Erin and so we, he and I, have not had a great deal of time with each other; which is why he posted this, thinking I wasn't aware how art has influenced our thoughts of how Jesus was to look.
I don't believe in coincidence, everything has a purpose, a thing to teach, a thing we need to see/hear/feel, or something that is to be shared and I think this Facebook exchange is in that category.
So let's go a little deeper. Genesis 1:26-27 reveals, "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness' … So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." God is saying that in each of us is the spirit of the Divine, the Holy Spirit, but also how God seems to us. For each of us we see God as we are…white, black, brown any colour.
If you go to the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in DC there are representations of Jesus from every country, with their own understanding how Jesus would look. One of my favourite Icons of Jesus and Mary is this Japanese Icon. I thank God that we see him as we are. God transcends race, culture and society to speaks to us personally.

Los Angeles, May 18 Pop sensation Justin Bieber will have to pay hefty bills to the quarantine centre caring for his pet monkey Mally.
Bieber has been asked to shell out thousands of pounds for care, food and vet visits to Mally, the capuchin, who he sneaked into Europe on a private jet.
The 19-year-old's pet was seized by German customs March 28 when the singer failed to produce the necessary paperwork for it.
Bieber had insisted his exotic pet accompany him on a transatlantic flight to Munich while on tour, breaking Germany's strict health laws. His management company told the shelter to dump 20-week-old Mally at a local zoo, according to the Munich Animal Protection Centre.
But customs are yet yet to receive a formal request to do so, either from Bieber or an authorised representative.
Mally is thought to have been given to the singer to mark his 19th birthday by music producer Jamal Rashid.
As of now, the abandoned monkey's only companions in his room at the shelter are his carer Conrad Dressler, 29, and an old teddy that Bieber gave him to play with.
The monkey could be in danger, said centre spokesman Judith Brettmeister.
"Mally is lonely. He could suffer serious psychological problems if he doesn't start living with other capuchin monkeys soon," he said.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2011) |
The quarterlife crisis is a period of life usually ranging from the late teens to the early thirties, in which a person begins to feel doubtful about their own lives, brought on by the stress of becoming an adult. The term was coined by analogy with mid-life crisis.
According to The Boston Globe, the quarter-life crisis occurs in one's twenties, after entering the "real world".[1] Erik H. Erikson, who proposed eight crises that humans face during their development, proposed the existence of a life crisis occurring at this age. The conflict he associated with young adulthood is the Intimacy vs. Isolation crisis. According to him, after establishing a personal identity in adolescence, young adults seek to form intense, usually romantic relationships with other people.[2]
Common symptoms of a quarter life crisis are often feelings of being "lost, scared, lonely or confused" about what steps to take in order to transition properly into adulthood. Studies have shown that unemployment and choosing a career path is a major cause for young persons to undergo stress or anxiety. Early stages of one living on their own for the first time and learning to cope without parental help can also induce feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Recently, Generation Y, also known as the millennials, are sometimes referred to as the Boomerang Generation or Peter Pan Generation, because of the members' perceived penchant for delaying some rites of passage into adulthood for longer periods than previous generations. These labels were also a reference to a trend toward members living with their parents for longer periods than previous generations.[3]
The notion of the quarter-life crisis is explored by the 1967 film The Graduate, one of the first film depictions of this issue. Other notable films that also do so are The Paper Chase, St. Elmo's Fire, How to Be, Garden State, Accepted, Ghost World, High Fidelity, (500) Days of Summer, Lost in Translation, Silver Linings Playbook and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, as well as the musical Avenue Q and the HBO television series, Girls. The 2008 web series Quarterlife was so named for the phenomenon. Other movies exploring the quarter-life crisis include, Reality Bites, Tiny Furniture, The Puffy Chair, Fight Club, Stranger than Fiction, Greenberg, Frances Ha and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Date: March 9th, 2003 Article by: Nathan Glentworth (Owner, Head Editor & Hardware Reviewer) Product was donated by: Samsung Canada <--CLICK FOR DEALS ON A SAMSUNG LCD MONITOR IN THE UNITED STATES <--CLICK FOR DEALS ON A SAMSUNG LCD MONITOR IN CANADA
As I have been monitoring traffic here at Tweaknews.net, it seems that the review I did on the Samsung Syncmaster 191T TFT LCD monitor back in May 22nd, 2002 has been a popular review. Why would this model be a sought after product. It's absolutely gorgeous, it has both digital and analog connections, and don't forget the vibrant colours and sharp contrast. But unfortunately, beauty has a cost and a high one at that with the 191T ranging in price from US$900-$1000. All you can say about that is OUCH!! No doubt that this high quality monitor is a heavy hitter financially. BUT, how would you like a monitor that looks exactly like the 191T, but with no digital and about US$200-$300 bucks lopped off the price. Well, today I will be reviewing Samsung's more economical answer to the high cost 191T, the 191N.

What can TFT LCD Technology do for me?
Below is just a small list of what TFT LCD technology can do for your small business or home environment.
1.) Radiation - TFT LCD technology virtually eliminates radiation which is emitted from normal CRT monitor and can promote a healthier computing environment for your children at home and/or your work environment.
2.) Low Power Consumption - LCD monitors have a power consumption of about half of the equivalent CRT monitors.
3.) Colour - Colours on LCD's are much more vibrant that CRT monitors.
4.) Physical Size - One of the main advantages is the size difference. LCD monitors cover about 30% of the desk area than a standard LCD.
5.) Viewable Area - Now here is the kicker, if you buy a 17" CRT monitor, it's safe to say that you will have an actual viewing area of about ~16". Now, when a TFT LCD is said to be 17", the viewable area IS 17", which is a far more honest approach to marketing.
