2007 - Response by Prof. George Vithoulkas to the comment of Nick Cohen in Observer |
Response by Prof. George Vithoulkas to the comment of Nick Cohen in Observer (the response was sent to the editor of Observer but never was published) Dear Editor, I have very seldom seen an article so biased against homeopathy written by somebody so intelligent as Mr.Cohen but at the same time with such lack of knowledge about this subject and also so ingenious in misinforming the public. Citronella oil is not a homeopathic remedy. It is a herb, obviously Mr. Cohen confuses herbalism with homeopathy. His misinformation goes further when he quotes Van der Zee -a supposedly homeopathic practitioner- stating that homeopathy cures AIDS! -something that would enrage any serious homeopath- and uses this statement as an argument or an excuse for discrediting homeopathy! A lot of false claims were made in the past by pharmaceutical industries yet nobody thought to connect it with the whole of medicine and declared it as fake or spurious. Do you know why such statements as the one by Van der Zee are "available" today? Because there is no legalization and legislation for the education of homeopathy in a higher learning institution. The matter has been left to the good will of any school of thought so the population does not know who is a homeopath and who is not. By the way, I want to propose to the editor of "The Observer" to instigate a debate between myself and a professor of medicine, -the most vicious they can find against homeopathy- in a series of articles once a week alternatively answering one another. This may be a good beginning to understand that though we may have differences or misunderstandings, we also have common grounds and that we all search for the good of the patients. Allow me to say that constructive criticism is the royal road to improvement for all, misinformation is the secret path in amassing privileges for the few. Yours sincerely, George Vithoulkas (www.vithoulkas.com) Alternative Nobel Prize, 1996 Comment The cranks who swear by citronella oil
On 1 December, faith healers will meet at Roots & Shoots in south London to discuss how to treat Aids with magic pills. They won't call themselves faith healers, of course, or shamans or juju men. They will present themselves as 'homeopaths': serious men and women whose remedies are as good as conventional medicine. According to the advance publicity, Hilary Fairclough, a homeopath endorsed by no less than Jeanette Winterson, will describe the 'impressive' results from her clinic in Botswana. Harry van der Zee, co-founder of the Amma Resonance Healing Foundation, will say that 'in just a few days or weeks' African Aids patients he treated became 'symptom-free and able to return to their jobs and schools or to look after their children again'. All in all, the Society of Homeopaths promises to provide 'fascinating insights' for World Aids Day. It can do no such thing. Of all the pseudo-sciences on offer, homeopathy is the most obviously spurious. Devised by Samuel Hahnemann in the late 18th century, it holds that the smaller the dose of a mineral or herb the more potent it is. Thus, if you go into a chemist and buy a homeopathic sulphur remedy marked 30C, the proportion of sulphur to inert packaging in a pill is 1 to 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. A glass of water is more likely to cure you. Yet dismissing homeopathy as quackery given by and for the feeble-minded is surprisingly hard. Anti-elitism dominates our society and many feel uncomfortable saying that the six million people who take alternative medicines are foolish - to put the case against them at its kindest. They sincerely believe in phoney remedies and sincerity trumps sense in modern culture. In rich and privileged societies where good health is taken for granted, homeopathy feels somehow natural when set against cold, conventional medicine. Today's audiences have no difficulty believing doctors and drugs companies are more villainous than their alternative rivals. Scrabbling around for a new plot after the end of the Cold War, John le Carre came up with The Constant Gardener, a story about drug manufacturers murdering Africans. 'Big pharmaceuticals are right up there with the arms dealers,' declares one character, who couldn't tell the difference between an antibiotic and a cluster bomb. Far from being dismissed as shallow, The Constant Gardener was a hit as a novel and a film. You might have thought that the medical establishment would make a stand for science. After all, the reputations of the chief medical officer, Department of Health civil servants and doctors depend on their being able to say that they have tested their remedies in double-blind trials and understand why and how they work. But they happily go along with fake treatments that don't stand up to the most cursory scrutiny. GPs use homeopaths as a dumping ground for hypochondriacs and the state pays for five homeopathic 'hospitals'. With the flood of money to the NHS about to be stemmed, Whitehall ought to close them and concentrate scarce resources on medicine that works. However, any minister bold enough to argue for the effective use of public funds would face strong opposition. About 100 MPs signed a Commons motion asserting that homeopathic hospitals were 'valuable national assets' that could magic away conditions from eczema to irritable bowel syndrome. Well-known loons were joined by otherwise intelligent politicians who were content to have constituents conned. Maybe they believed the standard justification for the homeopathy that the 'placebo effect' is a real psychological phenomenon. Patients suffering from minor ailments can feel better after taking a sugared pill. I've never liked the argument because there would be no placebo effect if patients were told the truth. To endorse homeopathy on the NHS is to endorse state deception. In his forthcoming Counterknowledge, Damian Thompson of the Daily Telegraph goes further and makes a persuasive case that what we tend to dismiss as harmless fads for Cherie Blair and her kind cause immense suffering in the wider world. The NHS's backing for public homeopathic hospitals legitimises private homeopaths. An investigation by Newsnight showed 10 of them putting patients' lives in danger by rejecting anti-malarial drugs for pills containing infinitesimal quantities of garlic and citronella oil. But you have to turn to the Africa le Carre couldn't see to understand how the bugbears of people we think of as eccentrics can turn lethal. For years, South African President Thabo Mbeki has done his best to hinder the distribution of anti-retroviral drugs. He listens to Peter Duesberg, a biologist who argues that to prevent Aids, all you need to do is eat well and avoid recreational drugs. After hearing Duesberg speak at a conference, Anthony Fauci, the usually mild-mannered Aids adviser to the American administration, said: 'This is murder. It's really that simple.' It's not just Duesberg. Bogus nutritionists in Britain and Germany claim vitamin C is as effective a treatment for Aids as anti-retrovirals and, as we have seen, homeopaths are claiming Africans can walk out of their clinics 'symptom-free'. Don't think that just because they seem obscure cranks their ideas can't have influence when the net makes them available to anyone anxious to deny the established facts about Aids. Suppose the old regime hadn't fallen and a white minority government was indulging Aids denialists. I think it's fair to guess the streets of the world's capitals would be full of demonstrators accusing the apartheid government of being complicit in the mass killing of blacks. Terms such as 'genocide' and 'ethnic cleansing' would be tossed about and those who provided spurious arguments to justify the neglect of South Africa's Aids' victims would be denounced as the accomplices of a criminal policy. As it is, there are no demonstrations because it is a black government presiding over the disaster and its supporters aren't in big pharmaceutical companies but funny little alternative institutes we too causally dismiss as quaint. |

Baltic man, DSU students create public art installation
Baltic native and Dakota State University student Tyler Carr was among a handful of students at the Madison college who spent the fall semester working feverishly to complete a public sculpture installation project for the entrance of the Mundt Foundation, located in the Mundt Library on the DSU campus. Using only discarded books borrowed from the Mundt Library, their task was to create a site-specific sculptural installation that bridged DSU's history and technology mission.Their process in creating the installation began with brainstorming and research. The students measured the installation space, carried books from the library to the classroom, drew concept sketches, proposed and analyzed ideas, made maquettes (scale models) of their proposals, and settled upon an idea. Finally, they carried the books back to the library and began constructing the sculpture. The students chose RGB as the project's theme. RGB stands for red, green, and blue, the primary colors of light and is the color model for electronic media like tablets, scanners, and monitors. RGB also happens to have a physiological relationship to our perception of color, since we have red, green, and blue receptor cone cells in our retinas.Books were the chosen material for the project, not only because they were available to borrow, but also because they represent traditional information technology, the printed word. They refer to the education mission at DSU and speak to the history of the institution.

Designated Marksman. military marksman role in a U.S. infantry squad. The DM's role is to supply rapid accurate fire on enemy targets at ranges up to 870 yds with a highly-accurate semi-automatic rifle equipped with a telescopic sight. Like snipers, DMs are trained in quick and precise shooting, but unlike the more specialised "true" sniper, they are also intended to lay down accurate rapid fire.

It is basically simple when you are able to download the missing libs before you execute binaries. Or you just try to execute the bootstrap code, check the errorlevel. In case it failed then you download the libc6 (i dont know why valve has got so many libs in the environment, thats not even needed) and put the libc6 in the same dir (thats what i use) or a bit cleaner use a different dir but in LD_LIBRARY_PATH set by the launcher.
When the first signs have been there for a Linux client i was able to bootstrap the client completely with a small bash script, all i needed was
i did not monitor the internet traffic to know what url is used right now, maybe somebody will find the correct url and i can write my own bootstrap code. it is a piece of cake, i wrote similar things for win32 and osx
I think i had a better script that wrote the file with the checksums in the correct place as well but you should get the idea how it works. It's definitely no rocket science you need to learn to do it right.

EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SCOTT SUTTELL Cleveland Clinic wins raves as an innovatorBy SCOTT SUTTELL 10:59 am, December 27, 2012
Even institutions at the very top of their field have room to innovate significantly. Cliffs led the Standard & Poor's 500 index on Wednesday, and the price has risen 18% in December, according to Barrons.com. (Even with the late-year bounce, though, Cliffs is still off 42% this year.) One reason for Cliffs' decline is concern about China's economy, Barrons.com notes, but "the good news is that China's slowdown won't last forever. When it awakens, so will the sector." And the website points out that Cliffs pays dividends exceeding 5%. "That means you'll be paid while you wait for the rebound," according to the post. Jonathan Adashek, Microsoft's general manager of communications and strategy, announced on the company's official blog that the first new stores in 2013 will be in malls in Beachwood, Miami, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Francisco and St. Louis. (Microsoft currently has just a kiosk in the Beachwood mall.) "We look forward to opening the doors of these stores, and many others, where our direct connection with customers will be built one interaction and one relationship at a time," Mr. Adashek wrote. No details yet on store opening dates. Eagle-eyed reader Ken Prendergast, executive director of All Aboard Ohio, an advocacy group for rail travel in the state, points out that the website's data page includes the following description of our city: Cleveland is home to several industries, including household cooking equipment, textiles, furniture, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and automotive parts. Cleveland State Community College and Lee University are also based in Cleveland. Cleveland is the location for the corporate headquarters of Life Care Centers of America, the largest privately held nursing facility company in the U.S. Its location provides numerous tourist attractions including whitewater rafting, mountain climbing and shopping within the urban parts of town. That doesn't sound like the Cleveland you know, does it? Well, it would if the Cleveland you knew was Cleveland, Tenn., which is indeed home to Cleveland State Community College, Lee University, Life Care Centers of America and other institutions. Sounds like a fun place. It's just not our place. You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio.

Noesi battles Scherzer in first White Sox start
Right-hander claimed off waivers on Friday; Tigers RHP seeks third win
With two starters on the mend and another recently optioned to Triple-A Charlotte because of ineffectiveness, the White Sox truly are "day to day" with their rotation, as manager Robin Ventura put it.
The White Sox have tabbed right-hander Hector Noesi, who last started in 2012 for the Mariners, to square off against Max Scherzer and the Tigers on Wednesday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field. That's quite a tall order for Noesi, who is looking to resurrect his career after he was claimed off waivers Friday -- to go toe-to-toe with the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner.
"Well, today is today, tomorrow is tomorrow," Noesi said before Tuesday's game. "For now, I don't plan anything. I just try to think and just go with it and do my stuff and make my pitches."
Once a prized prospect in the Yankees farm system, Noesi was named Player of the Month in the Dominican Winter League in November 2011 and was moved to Seattle in the Michael Pineda deal in January 2012. He struggled mightily with Seattle, going 2-12 with a 6.24 ERA in 18 starts.
Ventura said the best-case scenario is for Noesi, who is working on his mechanics with pitching coach Don Cooper, to go four or five innings.
"Well, knowing that he hasn't thrown a lot, you are not going to have him out there for seven innings," Ventura said. "Hopefully, you get five and see what happens after that. I would say five is an optimistic look."
Scherzer is 6-1 over his last 10 starts against the White Sox, eight of them quality outings. That includes six innings of two-run ball with 10 strikeouts on Thursday at Comerica Park. The White Sox will try to make some of the same adjustments against Scherzer the second time around that they did in their second meeting with Justin Verlander in Tuesday's series opener.
White Sox: Konerko happy he stuck around
Captain Paul Konerko could have easily hung up his cleats following the 2013 season. The 18-year veteran had one of his worst years statistically last season after playing through a litany of injuries.
The White Sox offense has been impressive in 2014 following a dismal 2013, making Konerko's decision to come back and play his final season as a part-time player and mentor all the sweeter.
"I'm happy," Konerko said. "To me, it's a big portion … I didn't have a crystal ball. But for me, deciding to come back for one more year, part of the story was this happening."
"This" includes a White Sox offense that leads the Majors in runs scored per game (5.56) and the club's new, young additions such as Adam Eaton, Jose Abreu and others coming into their own at the Major League level so quickly.
"It's a very young season, but you've got to start somewhere. We're not bad," Konerko said. "The way I look at it from a personal standpoint is you keep playing if you can. It's fun. Things can turn. You just keep working and working and I'm going to do everything I can every day to make sure we keep going this way.
"Everything I can do on the on the field or off the field because I definitely remember last year. I don't want guys to forget about that. I want them to remember that and have that drive us. "
Tigers: Romine filling in nicely at short
Andrew Romine is 7-for-23 with an RBI double, five walks and seven strikeouts since taking over shortstop duties, but is 1-for-10 in his last three starts.
"Romine's really done a nice job," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "He's done an excellent job defensively, and he's probably provided us more offense than a lot of people expected. He's got some hits, and when he's not getting hits, he's gotten on base with a walk. So he's gotten, and he's probably going to continue to get the bulk of the playing time."
In the absence of Jose Iglesias, Romine has platooned with Danny Worth, who is 1-for-3 in two games. The team released veteran Alex Gonzalez, who hit .167 in nine games, on April 20.
Worth noting
• Hall of famer Luis Aparicio turned 80 on Tuesday. He spent 10 of his 18 seasons with the White Sox, was a 10-time All Star and was 1956 AL Rookie of the Year.
• Miguel Cabrera picked up a pair of hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win, moving past Travis Fryman for 22nd on the Tigers' career hits list with 1,177.
• Detroit's Victor Martinez is hitting .391 (36-for-92) in his last 24 games against the White Sox.

What I don't understand about most of these software/music/movie/etc. Kickstarter projects is that fans/prospective users ostensibly pay to get it made, but then it's usually still proprietary payware when it comes out, as though the developer had just paid for everything out of their own pocket. Some of them are clearly just using Kickstarter as a marketing platform for preorders/merchandising and not primarily funding their project with it, but this one seems like it's going for a more substantial chunk of the budget. I might still spring for this one anyway (and hope there's some non-Steam way to play it), but it still kind of bugs me that the equation seems to be:
Publisher funds = developer beholden to publisher
Fans fund = developer beholden to themselves

VIDEO: Comet Hits Sun; Is Brilliant Explosion Related?
SpaceWeather.com says most solar physicists would likely say that a "puny comet" couldn't set off a "coronal mass ejection" of solar particles.
But check out this video from over the weekend, when a comet struck the sun. The images were animated by Helioviewer.org, "an open-source project for the visualization of solar and heliospheric data" that is funded by the European Space Agency and NASA.
According to SpaceWeather:
"Earlier this year ... the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) watched another sungrazer disintegrate in the sun's atmosphere. On July 5, 2011, the unnamed comet appeared to interact with plasma and magnetic fields in its surroundings as it fell apart. Could a puny comet cause a magnetic instability that might propagate and blossom into a impressive CME? The question is not so crazy as it once seemed to be."

How does breathing help in labour?
Rhythmic breathing during labour will maximise the amount of oxygen available to you and your baby. Breathing techniques can also help you to handle contractions and be more satisfied with how you've coped with your labour (NCCWCH 2007: 94, Smith et al 2011).Using relaxation techniques, including breathing, has also been linked to a reduced risk of assisted birth and caesarean (Smith et al 2011). Exploring what happens when you lose control of your breathing can help you to understand why rhythmic breathing can help in labour.
When you are tense and frightened, your breathing becomes shallow and rapid. Your shoulders are pulled up towards your ears and your neck and shoulder muscles feel tight and rigid. If you move into a state of panic, you start over-breathing, sucking the air into your lungs, and breathing out in short, sharp gasps.
Panic-breathing cuts down on the amount of oxygen your body can use for yourself and your baby. You feel light-headed and out of control. Pins and needles start in your fingers and your mouth will start to feel numb.
Panic-breathing is a common reaction to very stressful or frightening situations. It's normal, but your body can't continue in this state for long without becoming exhausted. In labour, your aim is to conserve your energy as much as possible, and give your baby plenty of oxygen to help him to cope with labour. Rhythmic breathing can help you to do this and can make such a difference to your baby's birth.
What are the best breathing patterns for labour?
Try closing your eyes for a moment. Focus on your breathing, and notice how rhythmical it is. You breathe in, then there's a slight pause before you breathe out. Your out-breath matches your in-breath in length and depth, and you pause slightly before your lungs draw the next breath in.It's important to keep your breathing rhythmical. Don't let the in-breath become longer than the out-breath. If anything, your out-breath should be longer than your in-breath.
When you are having very strong contractions, your breathing will become shallow. There's nothing wrong with this, as long as your breathing doesn't start to get faster and faster, and turn into panic-breathing.
What specific techniques I can try?
Try to practise these relaxation techniques during pregnancy. If you get used to these techniques, you can slip more easily into them once you're in labour (MIDIRS 2008: 15):- Think of the word "relax". It has two syllables, "re" and "lax". As you breathe in, think "re" to yourself, and as you breathe out, think "lax". Don't let your mind wander away from repeating the word "relax"' in tune with your breathing.
When you breathe out, try to let go of any tensions in your body. Focus on the muscles which you know become tense when you're stressed. Remember, every time you breathe out, "laaaax". The out-breath is the one to focus on, as the in-breath takes care of itself. - Or try counted breathing. As you breathe in, count slowly up to three or four, or whatever number seems comfortable for you. As you breathe out, count to three or four again. You may find that it's more comfortable to breathe in to a count of three and out to a count of four.
- Try breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Keep your mouth very soft as you sigh the breath out. Breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth. You may find it helpful to make a sound on the out-breath, such as "oooooooh", or "aaaaaah". Between contractions, have sips of water to prevent your mouth from becoming dry.
How can my birth partner help?
It's not always easy to breathe rhythmically and relax every time you breathe out when you're having strong contractions. You may also feel tired, and that your labour seems endless. This is where the support of your birth partner is essential. He can help you to keep your breathing steady by breathing with you.You may need to have eye contact with him. If this works for you, he can hold your hands or place his hands on your shoulders, leaning gently on them. Then you can follow his pattern of breathing as he breathes in through his nose and blows out softly into your face. Practise this during pregnancy.
It feels strange to begin with, and both of you may feel a bit self-conscious. However, co-breathing can be very useful when you're in labour and you think you just can't go on any more.
What about breathing and pushing?
During the second stage of labour, you will be pushing your baby out into the world. Follow your urges and push as many times during each contraction as feels right for you (NCCWCH 2007: 164, Prins et al 2011). You may find that you feel the urge to push briefly three to five times with each contraction, taking several breaths in between (Roberts and Hanson 2007).Holding your breath and putting your chin to your chest, while pushing for as long as possible, is not recommended (NCCWCH 2007: 164). There is no evidence that this benefits you or your baby. It may even damage your pelvic floor, leaving you with long-term bladder problems (Roberts and Hanson 2007, Prins et al 2011).
Another reason to avoid holding your breath and prolonged pushing is the effect it may have on your baby. Pushing for longer than five seconds or six seconds at a time may affect how much oxygen gets through to your baby. This may cause him to become distressed (Roberts and Hanson 2007).
What happens if I have an epidural?
If you've had an epidural, you should wait at least an hour from the time you are fully dilated before you start pushing. This is unless your baby's head is visible, or you get a strong urge to push (NCCWCH 2007: 121).Keep calm if you still can't feel any bearing down urges, or if you can't tell where you are meant to be pushing. Your midwife can let you know when a contraction is beginning. Then imagine that you need to push out a really big poo, as it is in that direction that you need to direct your efforts. Bear down into your bottom for a count of five, take another few breaths, and then push again.
When should I push?
You may get the urge to push before your cervix is fully dilated. Depending on how far dilated you are, your midwife may ask you not to push. This is to give your cervix more time to open (Downe et al 2004), but it can be extremely difficult to resist!You can help by changing your position, perhaps on to your side, or kneeling on all fours with your bottom in the air and your cheek resting on the ground. When a contraction arrives, give four short pants, then a quick in-breath, followed by four more short pants, and so on.
Try repeating the phrase "I must not push" in your head as you pant, and breathe normally between contractions.
See our video on how to help your baby be born.

Corporate Contributions in Hard Times: How Companies are Managing the Economic Downturn
23 June, 2009 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
Recent Conference Board research shows that many companies are reducing their giving budgets in 2009, making fewer and smaller grants, re-examining focus areas, and increasing employee engagement programs. In this webcast, we will go beyond the statistics and hear directly from companies on how they are adjusting their contributions programs in response to the current economic downturn. Participants in this webcast will join representatives from FedEx and Morgan Stanley for a discussion of this very timely issue.
This webcast will discuss:
- Innovative uses of non-cash resources
- Ways to engage employees in community involvement efforts during a time of downsizing, budget cuts, and higher-than-normal stress levels
- Methods to refocus giving to address critical community needs
- How to develop and implement an exit grant strategy

Wild, drug and/or alcohol fueled sex that takes place next to the welcome cover of a dumpster in a suitably dark alley.
We slipped out of the show for some dumpster sex...I bent that little slut over the hood of a car, started chowing her box from behind. She really went wild when I whipped out my johnson and shoved it in, riding the skin fish all the way to Tuna Town! It was fuggin' GREAT dude.

1 more definition
Sex with someone that has no emotional value, but for both parties to get off. It's location can be any meaningless location that is convenient to both parties. Because of its singular purpose, dis-robing is not necessary & will only prolong the departure of both parties, possibly adding conversation & intimacy to the situation.
Person 1: I just just had meaningless sex!
Person 2: No, you had dumpster sex.
Person 2: No, you had dumpster sex.

Posted on 01/30/2013 12:40:17 PM PST by ButThreeLeftsDo
Not a single gun shop can be found in this city. They are outlawed.
Handguns were banned in Chicago for decades, too, until 2010, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that was going too far, leading city leaders to settle for restrictions some describe as the closest they could get legally to a ban without a ban.
And yet Chicago, a city with bans on both assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, finds itself laboring to stem a flood of gun violence that contributed to more than 500 homicides last year and at least 40 killings already in 2013.
(Excerpt) Read more at startribune.com ...
What would happen if people in Chicago were permitted to freely possess and carry?
It would be fun to try it and find out.
If banning guns worked, Chicago would be a model of safety. Their ban wasn't meant to keep criminals from getting them, only law abiding citizens.
I predict not a lot because the people killing each other are black and Hispanic gang bangers.
Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. Yet there have been 41 murders in the month of January which puts it right on track to meet last year's 500+. That's 2x what LA has and 4x what New York City has, and Chicago ranks 3rd in size behind those two cities. Holder's people just like to kill.
Cheap shots from corrupt liberal bosses. While the DC Supreme court decisions may have paved the way for law-abiding citizens to rearm themselves legitimately, Chicago's murder statistics aren't affected by them. That is the sole boon resulting from corrupt local government's choice to ignore the real, ethinic/racial problem.
They need no permit, in my opinion. I know you agree. But allow me to suggest an improved phrasing so the gun-grabbers understand:
"What would happen if people in Chicago were to fully exercise their rights instead of having them unconstitutionally trampled?"
There. That's better. :-)
It's against the law to sell crack or meth in Chicago too... and it's against the law in all the surrounding cities. And ALL over the country too.
Does the above fact have a chance seeping into the brain of a New York Times person? Will they 'get' what that might mean?
Does giving organized crime a billion dollar industry seem like a good idea to 'oh so liberal' journalists? Might there be implications and unintended consequences?
Are they stupid?
As expected, the "solution" offered by the article is to make the infringements even stricter, make the penalties tougher, and apply them across the entire nation!
Not only are the victims mostly poor minorities, the perps pose no threat to the elite.
They're not going anywhere near these neighborhoods without a plenty of armed security and a pre-visit security blanket.
But MN dems invite more thugs here from there then won't why crime want up.
Oh, come on....we all just need another round of diversity training!
Rev Acree needs to get out of Chicago a little more... The lessons that need to be learned from Chicago have nothing to do with extending their stupid laws to more civilized areas of the country. Clueless... totally clueless.
Oh, come on....we all just need another round of diversity training!
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I wonder if they have tried MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL?
If nothing else another way to have a money grab from the Fed.
Just pass a law requiring registration and buying a license.
Taking guns from Americans and sending F16s to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama's America.
Back in the days of Al Capone and the national shame that was Prohibition, the gangster element grew far more wealthy and powerful because of the artificial barrier to obtaining alcohol. So substitutes were being made in bathtubs and concealed moonshine stills, or smuggled in on trucks from Canada or through uncontrolled sea and lake ports.
A similar underground economy exists in Chicago today, in the supply of drugs and hand guns that seems to flow into the city unchecked. Some of the reasons could be found in careful inspection of financial records of some highly-placed officials of the City of Chicago, which is in collaboration and close coordination with the criminals who are the successors to the Capone Chicago mob.
And yes, "liberal" journalists really ARE stupid.
They get it. They're running our country.

Hey guys!
I saw the "Moments of Clarity" page and something came to mind....I don't ever have to pick up that damn drink!
A few days ago, i had a day full of INSANITY. And i created it all by myself. I just had a snap. It was like somebody took over and i was angry at the world, and all i wanted to do was drink to put myself out of the misery of worrying about relapsing.
The thing that scared me the most is that this is the first time in my 18 months (almost) of sobriety that i had an URGE to drink. Of course i've had thoughts, but this was one of those URGES, and it's scared me to death.
Ever since i got sober i've had trouble remembering that alcoholism is a thinking desease, and it doesn't matter how much i drank. I know i drank alot, but i always worry that i wasn't bad enough. Believe me....i WANT to have been bad enough, i WANT to be an alcoholic, i just worry that i was just being a stupid kid (i got sober at 17) and i was still so worried that by saying i'm an alcoholic is just me "creating excuses" and that i was really just a stubborn kid.
I talked about it to my sponsor (and about everyone else that would listen) and somebody pointed out to me that this may have been a turning point. I've worried so long that i haven't "earned" my spot in AA, like i'm an imposter. A very wise woman pointed out, though, that i didn't like the person i was when i drank, alcoholic or not, and i don't want to go back to being the person that i was when i drank!
Before i get to my "moment of clarity" i should clarify something from above. I didn't nessasarily WANT to drink, I felt that it was going to happen no matter what i did. That EVERYONE has a choice whether or not to drink....EXCEPT ME. Honestly, my desease is still pretty convincing, but i've been trying to remember that I do have a choice, and that i don't want to go back just for today.
ANYWAY....My moment of clarity....I was praying last night (let me remind you that since my "freak out" i've been very upset, mostly with myself, and i've been thinking about what happened and what i felt like and worrying myself almost to death constantly since then) and all of a sudden a feeling of relief came over me. I just KNEW for that split second, that i don't ever need to drink again. Even after i had forgotten, the feeling was still there. It didn't last long unfortunatly, but i had it! It was like my HP was restoring me back to sanity for that split second. It was ROCKIN.
That's all i have for now. I love you all. Keep Coming Back (for me, hahahahahahahaha I'm so selfish)

Lexi Bloom looks like she'd be the cutest girl at summer camp. She's got the pigtails and the perky pokies showing through her white T-shirt. She's like the camp counselor you always wanted to fuck. We didn't know how inexperienced Lexi was until we found out that she had never swallowed cum before. Well, swallowing a load is how you earn your blowjob merit badge around here. Lexi showed us how she learned how to give handjobs by sneaking off to the woods with guys and then we gave her a surprise load all over her tongue. Tastes like pina colada, doesn't it?

All lanes of northbound Interstate-95 have reopened between I-195/BWI Airport/Exit 47 and I-695/Exit 49 after a tractor-trailer crash and fire early Tuesday morning.
WASHINGTON – All lanes of northbound Interstate-95 have reopened between I- 195/BWI Airport/Exit 47 and I-695/Exit 49 after a tractor-trailer crash and fire early Tuesday morning.
The accident occurred at about 3 a.m. between I-195 and I-695/Baltimore Beltway and all lanes reopened at about 10 a.m.
Maryland State Police say the blaze started after the tractor trailer hit a disabled tow truck being towed away by a second tow truck. A WTOP listener reported the truck struck a jersey wall as well.
The tractor trailer driver was able to get out before his vehicle was engulfed and no injuries were reported. Maryland traffic officials say the truck was carrying orange juice.
A Maryland Department of Environment hazardous materials crew responded to clean up gas and juice spilled on the highway.
Traffic was diverted onto I-195.
The southbound lanes of I-95 were also blocked so that traffic stopped beyond the I-195 exit can be turned around.
If you're heading to BWI Marshall Airport, give yourself extra time.
