Patriotism: many people claim to be a patriot, but don't even speak the mother language. (especially here) They try to speak english instead. To me, one of the best ways to love your country is to love, and speak, your language. It's one of the strongest foundations of our culture. So this picture is my way of encouraging my fellowmen to keep our languages, even the minor ones, alive. :]
& i know that i don't speak our national language that well, but i am learning. and i still proudly speak in another one of our country's native language. astang bisdaka !
Such art
Ito na talaga!
hehe..im proud to even be a fillipino! AHH DEBA PINOY AKO!
That's cool!
this is amazing , and i agree with you . we should speak our native language here , ;D
But my father is american , and wouldnt let my mom teach me tagalog & the bisaya language D:
But my father is american , and wouldnt let my mom teach me tagalog & the bisaya language D:
I need to do that with my hand.
very original !
Cool. This is really creative. i am Proud to be a Pinoy too!!!
Pilipina ka ba???????
Pilipina ka ba???????
Opo, Pilipina ako
Hey I think this is a great pic and you make a valid point; though I am not Filipino, I enjoy the concept and your words on the subject. Well done. And where I live, they murder English even though it's supposed to be our mother tongue. Ebonics have taken over. Go figure... it's sad to feel your language is dying.
thank you! Your words really encourage me. & it is sad to see your language dying.. But as long as there are people who stand up for it, I suppose it never really dies.
really creative! i love it ^-^
pinoy pride (:
pinoy pride (:
amen diyan! mabuhay. :]
i think understanding and speaking another language can open a lot of windows for you.
i think understanding and speaking another language can open a lot of windows for you.
Excellent thought and view. I absolutely agree with that 100%. Here in American Spanish is taking over in a lot of places and you're looked at as prejudice if you suggest someone "should speak English", but it's not about being prejudice, it's about speaking the language of the Country your in (especially if you live there). I even think you should be able to at least attempt a language if you're visiting a country (though us Americans get spoiled with that when we travel, we shouldn't). Thanks for the pic and description on it for the Contest!!
thanks for agreeing! Pride in your language is definitely one of the simplest, yet best acts of patriotism, and also for showing respect to the country you're in. it's important to learn a bit of culture as well.
this is really good. i think it's really creative and expressive - it impresses me that i'm so impressed haha.
thankyou, i love it
thankyou, i love it

Read Ihub message board post #28197. YIpi will be the stock of the year!
It depends on buyers. uptrend pattern continues when buyers and sellers buy and sell only at ask. if buyers try to buy at bid on a uptrending stock they harm and block the up-trend pattern as well as growth of their own investment. today it could have crossed 50 but went back to 35 because of those bid buying investors. today it was bid buyers who controled the EOD PPS not seller. problem is they never learn and 2morrow they will reappear again.
BIG Group YIPI Update:
Folks let me start by saying that those of you that have been with me from day 1 know that I rarely post on ihub. I refuse to play the games there as the vast majority of posters there are shady and cannot be trusted. When I do post, a great deal know me but many others don't then you get put in a class of "pumpers" or you have to deal with fools. I choose to do most of my interaction in this forum and it appears to be working as a result of the ever growing following. I'm off the soap box now:)
Over the past few days I have had several interactions with the CEO of Yippy Rich Granville. I emailed Rich with a series of questions relative to when to expect financials, etc. he conveyed to me via email that they should be released by this Friday latest.
This afternoon Rich called me as he wanted to talk further and share additional business happenings, etc. First a little background on Rich. He is relatively young (44) and we share similar business backgrounds. He to was an executive at a fortune 100 company responsible for analyzing start up companies before leaving and putting all his wealth on the line to start Yippy. He also shares that his wife and father have nearly all of their 401K's in Yippy stock (70%) and Rich himself poured everything into it and takes no salary from the business. He told me that his pay day will come when he sells the business. I believe him to be very genuine and motivated.
In terms of true available float. We talked this at length. On paper the non restricted float is a bit over 8MM. 2MM of those shares are "restricted" per say meaning they cannot be traded over the next year. There are also 4 large holders that own a combined 3MM shares and have not traded one share sense inception. He also knows that these individuals will not until the company is bought out. I talked to him about the tally we have done and very conservatively came to approx another 2MM shares in investors hands. Now reality is with those shar
Sentiment: Strong Buy
thanks man. I was thinking posting it this morning. are you a yipi holder? What your take?

Some finger-pointing followed Clint Eastwood's rambling endorsement of Mitt Romney on Thursday night at the Republican National Convention.
TAMPA, Fla. — Now we know why political conventions are scripted.
Mitt Romney delivered a good and personal acceptance speech Thursday night.
His campaign produced a sterling video about the candidate.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Your vote counts so little in today's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'
- Ivar's looks to sell, lease back two venerable restaurant sites
Most Read Stories
People who know Romney offered testimony about his values, his compassion and his business acumen.
But all anyone seemed to be talking about when the convention ended was Clint Eastwood and an empty chair.
The discomfort of Ann Romney, on "CBS This Morning" on Friday, spoke volumes about how the Eastwood moment was received. She tried her best to be positive, but she clearly was surprised by what she had witnessed onstage.
As the broadcast networks were opening their prime-time coverage, what Americans saw was not that well-produced video, but a celebrated director and actor talking — sometimes talking trash — to an empty chair that was a proxy for President Obama.
Eastwood's rambling and off-color endorsement of Romney seemed to startle and unsettle the candidate's top aides, several of whom made a point of distancing themselves from the decision to put him onstage without a polished script.
"Not me," said an exasperated-looking senior adviser, when asked who was responsible for Eastwood's speech. In interviews, aides variously called the speech "strange" and "weird."
One described it as "theater of the absurd." Finger-pointing quickly ensued, suggesting real displeasure and even confusion over the handling of Eastwood's performance, on the night that Romney accepted the Republican presidential nomination.
A senior Republican involved in convention planning said Eastwood's appearance was cleared by at least two of Romney's top advisers, Russ Schriefer and Stuart Stevens. This person said there had been no rehearsal, to the surprise of the rest of the campaign team.
But another adviser said several top aides had reviewed talking points given to Eastwood, which the campaign had discussed with the director and actor as recently as a few hours before his appearance.
Eastwood, however, delivered those points in a way that caught Romney aides off guard, this person said. Eastwood even ignored warnings that he had exceeded his time.
The performance seemed to go down well with the audience in the Tampa Bay Times Forum, but it looked bizarre on the television screen.
Stevens, in an interview, said he would not discuss internal decision-making but described Eastwood's remarks as improvised.
"He spoke from the heart with a classic improv sketch, which everyone at the convention loved," Stevens said.
He called it "an honor that a great American icon would come and talk about the failure of the current president and the promise of the future one."
How it unfolded
Eastwood delivered one of the more unusual moments in Republican convention history: a speech in which he pretended to have a sarcasm-filled conversation with President Obama sitting by his side in an empty chair. Initially, there were no plans for Eastwood to take a chair onstage as a prop. But at the last minute, the actor asked the production staff backstage if he could use one, but did not explain why.
"The prop person probably thought he was going to sit in it," a senior aide said.
"Mr. President, how do you handle promises that you made when you were running for election?" the onetime Dirty Harry said, mumbling to a befuddled crowd of thousands in the convention hall and millions of television viewers.
As thousands of "OMG!" tweets started flying, Eastwood, 82, asked the invisible Obama why he had not closed the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
"What do you mean, shut up?" he said, continuing to talk to his imaginary companion. A moment later, he stopped again, saying, "What do you want me to tell Mr. Romney?"
"I can't tell him that. He can't do that to himself," Eastwood said, drawing laughter from the crowd. "You're getting as bad as Biden."
Leonard Hirshan, Eastwood's manager, said the actor was traveling and would not be available for interviews until he started promotional work shortly for his next film, "Trouble With the Curve," which is set for release Sept. 21.
"He does these things for himself," said Hirshan, who spoke by telephone Friday morning. "It's his private life. He believes in what he's doing."
Romney enjoyed it
The networks began their hour of convention coverage at 10 p.m. Eastern time, which meant Eastwood was the first act of the night for their viewers. He was scheduled to speak for about five minutes, but stayed onstage much longer, throwing off the schedule for Romney, a stickler against tardiness.
As Eastwood ran long, convention producers activated a red light on the camera stand opposite the stage, a signal to nudge speakers to wrap up their remarks.
Despite the fuss the speech created, the campaign insisted Romney enjoyed it.
"I was backstage with him, and he was laughing," Stevens said.
Aides said Eastwood does not like teleprompters and was trusted to deliver an on-message endorsement.
Two aides said Eastwood had been booked weeks ago and the expectation was that he would deliver a more standard endorsement, as he did earlier in Sun Valley, Idaho.
After that endorsement, Romney asked Eastwood to come to the convention, one of these people said. Advisers said Eastwood mentioned all the points they had agreed upon, including an unemployment figure, but the aides had expected him to address the issues in a more straightforward manner.
As they hopped from party to party late Thursday and early Friday, celebrating the end of the Republican convention, Romney advisers tried gamely to find an upside. Several said the Eastwood appearance offered a moment of improvisation in a convention that was otherwise surprise-free.
It was also a reminder of a larger reality about campaigns these days. No matter how scripted, no matter how well-executed, there are always things that go wrong — and when they do, those events can become momentarily supersized, overshadowing all the good things a campaign has done.
Since Clint Eastwood's unusual exchange with an empty chair at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, the collective creativity of the Internet has generated countless illustrations and other widely circulated memes making light of his speech.
But one humorous image, made to look as if it came from an episode of "The Simpsons," overstates the predictive power of that satirical Fox cartoon series.
The meme, which has spread rapidly on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, shows the cantankerous character Grampa Simpson in a newspaper clipping, shaking his fist in a photograph beneath the headline "Old Man Yells at Chair." The image is often accompanied by captions reading: "The Simpsons knew it was coming."
Although rival animators have previously expressed their awed frustration at the ability of "Simpsons" writers to beat them to every possible joke and plotline, in this case, "The Simpsons" didn't do it.
That image of Grampa Simpson, created by a thus-far anonymous denizen of the Web, is an alteration of a gag that appeared in a 2002 "Simpsons" episode called "The Old Man and the Key": Lacking a photograph for a driver's license, Grampa displays an old newspaper article whose headline reads: "Old Man Yells at Cloud."
On Friday, Al Jean, "The Simpsons" executive producer, acknowledged he and his colleagues did not have quite enough foresight to anticipate Eastwood's convention speech.
"We didn't predict this, but we guarantee the world will end Dec. 21," Jean wrote in an email.

Gorgeous rendering. Great job.
Great work. So how do you start off? Do you use a grid or do you just go strait for it and go without any guidelines? Great work, it looks amazing.
Thank you very much... I sketch first draft proportions .... then final highlight lines for painting.
Thanks for replying. I am just looking at the different techniques other artists use and then trying these techniques myself to see which ones best work for me. Amazing work though, I love it.
Wow! Just wow!!
The coloring is very appealing, and I love the lighting you gave the peice.
Padme looks like someone you'd see on a star wars wanted poster. Very chic.

What Will it Take to Improve Birth Outcomes in African American Infants?
By Darline Turner, BS, MHS, PA-C
Owner and Founder of Mamas on Bedrest & Beyond
My daughter was born at 36 weeks and 6 days, just 3 hours and 57 minutes shy of 37 weeks, the mark of a full term infant. She was tiny, 18 inches long and a mere 5 lbs 3oz. My daughter was a preterm, low birth weight African American baby, another data point in the statistics which show that African American infants are twice as likely to be born premature (before 37 weeks gestation) and low birth weight (less than 5 lbs 5 oz).
How could this be? I am a physician assistant with a Masters Degree. My husband, an engineer, MIT trained in Physics and Mathematics. We had premium health insurance and I literally saw my obstetrician within days of my home pregnancy test showing two blue stripes. I never missed a prenatal visit and if anything, I had more than the recommended visits because I had a history of uterine fibroids for which I had undergone surgical removal prior to this pregnancy, had had a previous miscarriage and was 36 years old. Was I at risk for an adverse outcome? Most certainly, but according to the literature, my reproductive history is not the only reason.
Researchers have been studying the disparities in birth outcomes in African American women and infants and have found that neither socioeconomic status nor access to prenatal care are able to explain the persistent gap that exists in birth outcomes. Neonatologists Richard David, MD (Neonatologist, Stroger Hospital of Cook County, Chicago) and James Collins, MD (Neonatologist, Children's Memorial Hospital, Chicago) have been studying the disparities in birth outcomes and were shocked to find that in African American women, prenatal care, education and socioeconomic status were not driving forces when it comes to birth outcomes. They found, like others who have studied this phenomenon and as it's been reported by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that the gap between African Americans and whites has remained constant by these indicators and they found in their research, that the gap in maternal mortality between African Americans and Whites actually widened as African American women gain more education. African American Women with advanced degrees, who had great prenatal care, didn't smoke, drink or do any recreational drugs had birth outcomes that were on par with White women who had not even finished high school! Dr. David summarized their findings,
"There's something about growing up as a black female in the United States that's not good for your childbearing health. I don't know how else to summarize it."
The neonatologists' work was the focus of a segment called "When the Bough Breaks" one part of the four part documentary "Unnatural Causes" produced by California Newsreel in 2008 which asks the question, "Is inequality making us sick?" The neonatologists and others cited in the documentary noted that while high socioeconomic status and higher education are supposed to be predicative of better birth outcomes, this is not the case for African American women. Infant mortality in white American women with a college degree or higher is about 4 deaths per one thousand births. In African American women with the same level of education, infant mortality is about 10 per one thousand births, almost three times higher. The researchers also noted that African American mothers with college degrees have worse outcomes than white mothers without a high school education. Michael Lu, MD, MPH, Obstetrician, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA said it this way,
"Think about this. We're talking about African-American doctors, lawyers, and business executives. And they still have a higher infant mortality rate than non-Hispanic white women who never went to high school in the first place."
In an attempt to explain this phenomenon, researchers questioned if there is some sort of genetic predisposition to preterm labor, prematurity and low birth weight in African Americans, but again, the data did not bear this out. They compared newborns born to African American Women, African Immigrants to the U.S., and U.S. born white women. Dr. David recounts,
"It turns out that the Africans and the whites were about the same. The African Americans, on the other hand, had babies that weight almost eight or nine ounces less than the other two groups."
The researchers also found that when African women immigrate to the US, it takes only one generation before their daughters are at risk of having premature babies at a significantly higher rate and with poorer birth outcomes. As Dr. Collins summarized,
"This to us really suggests that something is driving this that's related to the social milieu that African American women live in throughout their entire lives."
According to Drs David and Collins racism is a key factor that can no longer be ignored. Their data suggests that chronic stress associated with being African American increases the risk of having a premature, low birth weight infant more than two fold.
This is the premise of "Closing The Black-White Gap In Birth Outcomes: A Life-Course Approach" a research publication by Dr. Michael Lu. Lu and his colleagues at UCLA have developed a 12 point plan to reduce Black-White disparities in birth outcomes using a life course approach. The first four points address health care across the life span,
- Increases to inter-conception (between births) care
- Pre-conception care
- Prenatal care
- Access to quality healthcare throughout the life course.
The second four points focus on strengthening the family and community ties that may influence health,
- Strengthen father involvement
- Improve family support services
- Create reproductive social capital (features of social organization that facilitate coordination and cooperation to promote reproductive health within a community)
- Build stronger communities.
The last four points seek to remove the social and economic disparities,
- Close the education gap
- Reduce poverty
- Support working mothers
- Undo racism.
As one can see, as it pertains to African Americans, health is not just a function of increased access to care and/or improved education and social status. How one lives day to day and the support system one has on a day to day basis seems to be as influential on health as income and access to health care. From what researchers have been able to ascertain, the breakdowns within African American communities:
- a) families no longer living in close proximity
- b) dispersions of and migrations out of black communities
- c) the lack of infrastructure and resources in black communities
is having a significant impact on African American health, and in this case, the health and survival of African American infants and African Americans in general.
Lu and his colleagues propose that if this 12 point plan is carried out, we may be able to reduce the gap that exists in birth outcomes for African American women compared to white women and lower maternal and infant mortality in African American women and infants.
Dr. Lu concludes in his publication,
"For too long we have looked for a quick fix to close the gap. Elimination of racial disparities in birth outcomes is attainable if we make the life course, perhaps intergenerational, social investments it will take. The 12 points are a beginning. The health of our nation tomorrow depends on the choices we make today."
If we hope to end racial disparities in health care, we as a nation are going to have to tackle racism head on. The United States has long wanted to forget the role and impact that slavery, segregation and racism have had on our culture and society at large, and on African Americans in particular. But as we look at the maternal and infant mortality rates, leading heath indicators, we are confronted with the facts. Lifelong unequal treatment of African Americans is proving deadly for them (us) and damaging our society as a whole. If we hope to ever close the disparity gap in African American birth outcomes, this nation is going to have to put an end to racism.

Mustang pushes forward on new brewhouse
May 31 seems like an awful long time ago, but it's a date the crew at Mustang Brewing Co. are still quite connected to.
On that day, the storms and tornadoes that bulled through El Reno and eventually Oklahoma City did a number on Mustang's brewhouse at the OKCity Brewing Cooperative just west of downtown.
The winds and rains tore off the roof right over the fermenters and tanks in the brewhouse. Earlier this month, insurance adjusters declared the brewhouse and everything in it a complete loss. All that shiny steel equipment was wrecked beyond repair.
Now Mustang is moving forward, with construction of a new brewhouse at company headquarters, 520 N Meridian Ave., in full swing.
Above is a photo of workers this week smoothing out concrete in the brewhouse around the floor drain. Mustang is on the hunt right now for new brewing equipment, and expects to have the system, a new bottling line and a tasting room operational by Nov. 1.
That date just happens to coincide with the enactment of Oklahoma's new beer sampling law, which was passed into last legislative session.
Daily Pints
-In other Mustang news, a beer dinner is set for 7 p.m. Saturday at Rose Greek Golf Club. Tickets are $55 and can be had by making a reservation at 330-8220.
-This Thursday is the third Thursday, and that means it's time for the monthly COOP Ale Works pint night at TapWerks. This week's offering is a cucumber saison.
-Mark down Thursday, Aug. 22 on your calendar and plan to head back over to TapWerks that night. Moto Chef is staging a kitchen takeover and will put together a special Boulevard Brewing-inspired food menu.
-McNellie's OKC is hosting its next segment in the Beer U series. Beat the Heat Beer U is set for Tuesday, Aug 20. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to reserve a spot.

Hawking on freeway ramps
Q. I'm seeing more and more small businesses' signs stuck in the ground on the Alicia Parkway on- and off-ramps in Mission Viejo. These are for diet plans, real estate, contractors and so forth. Is it legal to place these signs? If not, what can I do about it?
- Alan Sechrest, Mission Viejo
A. Alan, in this hectic world, what's wrong with choosing your accountant from a stand of roadside pickets?
Actually, Honk hates those signs, and the California Department of Transportation isn't fond of them, either. The signs are illegally plopped.
The agency will remove them but - in a move too charitable by Honk standards - often keep them for 30 days so owners can retrieve them.
To prompt Caltrans to do a ramp sweep for signs, call the Orange County Transportation Helpline: 800-724-0353.
Q. I was going from Anaheim to Oceanside so my children and I could visit their grandmother. I found out by calling Amtrak that if you have more than two children, then you must pay the FULLadult fare for the third child. Is that legal? I consider it discriminatory against larger families and am considering legal action.
- Fritz Heigis, Garden Grove
A. Although he would look cute in a robe, Honk isn't a judge, of course. So he contacted spokeswoman Karina Romero for Amtrak's stance. She says the discount is generous and certainly legal. Limits ensure revenues aren't watered down too much, she adds.
Honk's biggest transportation-related pet peeve is that the subsidies mass-transit receive are usually left out of conversations - by train and bus lovers and by politicians.
Honk loves public choo-choos and buses, but they should always be judged against the cost to taxpayers.
Now, Amtrak does extremely well, covering 80 percent of its operational bills with fares. Public bus lines, like the Orange County Transportation Authority's, typically cover only 25 percent with fares.
Amtrak receives $1.3 billion a year for operations and capital projects from the federal government. California kicks in $78 million.
Fritz, it is a judgment call as to when subsidies are too much.
Q. I travel daily on the Garden Grove (22) Freeway. It seems there are a lot of single-occupancy vehicles in the diamond lane. Is the California Highway Patrol allowing a grace period, or are there just not enough officers?
- Bill Harvey, Westminster
A. For the first month of the 22's enter-and-exit-where-you-want-experimental car-pool lanes, into December, the striping and signage wasn't up to snuff, so the CHP did not cite, says officer and department spokeswoman Stacy Willits.
Same old law and just not enough cops.
Fact of the week: The CHP issued 1,102,613 speeding citations statewide in 2005, the latest year statistics are available.
Contact the writer: Got a question? Contact Radcliffe at firstname.lastname@example.com or (714) 550-4636, ext. HONK (4665).

Projects on the Move Free software covers such a diverse range of utilities,applications,and other assorted projects that it can be hard to find the perfect tool.We pick the best of the bunch.This month we cover the Amarok player,Flightgear, Debian's third revision of Woody,and Skolelinux.
The subject of software patents has been keeping advocates and opponents equally busy. The pro-patent proposal to the EU parliament by the EU Commission had very little chance of success, but it was approved by the EU Council with only minor changes. One reason for this was that Germany's Minister of Justice, Brigitte Zypries, changed her stance on the subject. She had previously promised to abstain, which would effectively have torpedoed the proposal. In October, all parliamentary parties in the German parliament came down against software patents, but they were unable to agree on a motion. It is hard to say if a motion would influence the German government's stance on the subject. Although the Ministry of Justice would not be obligated by a motion, it would exert considerable pressure.

Brady Hinline, 39, had donned the vest "for the purpose of surviving the rest of the school year."
A Toledo teacher was fired for wearing a bulletproof vest to school.
Brady Hineline, 39, had donned the vest "for the purpose of surviving the rest of the school year," according to Ohio Department of Education records. Hineline did not respond to messages left at his home or with his lawyer today.
Wearing a bulletproof vest to school was not the only reason Hineline was fired.
In fall 2010, he used what a Department of Education hearing officer described as "inappropriate language" to discipline a student:
"If you want to act like a punk or you want to act like a thug, you do [it] on the street. Don't bring it in my classroom. Don't bring it into our school."
Hineline also swore within the hearing of other staff and of students and used excessive force to break up a fight, according to Department of Education records.
Hineline worked at Glass City Academy, a dropout recovery charter school in Toledo. The school serves students who dropped out of traditional schools. The state Board of Education is scheduled next week to revoke his license for three months, until January 2013.
A Department of Education hearing officer wrote Hineline should not be punished too severely because he was working in a "sometimes hostile" environment and had not been trained to do things like break up fights. Those duties should have been the responsibility of a trained, licensed law enforcement officer, the hearing officer wrote.
Still, it was the bulletproof vest that got Hineline fired.
The vest was the last straw, the hearing officer wrote.
"If the Respondent [Hineline] perceived himself to have been in harms way, he should have resigned."

Posted on 08/10/2005 2:55:28 PM PDT by kristinn
A pro-troops/pro-Bush rally will be held this Saturday in Crawford, Texas by Killeen radio station KLFX 107.3 FM and sister station KWTX 1230 AM.
The rally will begin at noon and will be held at a parking lot next to the Crawford Bank. Free hamburgers and sodas will be given away until supplies are exhausted.
A spokesman for KLFX said that those who are calling this an anti-Cindy Sheehan rally are wrong. The station wanted to have an event to offer a means for the public to show their support for the troops serving at nearby Fort Hood and their commander-in-chief in contrast to the antiwar/anti-Bush protesters descending on Crawford this week.
The station says the free cookout is meant to tweak the leftist 'hunger-strikers' in Crawford, not make fun of Cindy Sheehan.
Have fun, play safe. The lefties are in a tizzy over this.
I am glad they chose to make it a pro-troops, pro-Bush rally, rather than an anti-Sheehan rally, like was proposed.
I want to go so bad but it appears I have other plans and can't get out of them. But it sure does sounds fun!
Now watch all the press coverage from the MSM I'm sure it will dwarf the coverage of the left wing loons. On another topic, I hope we return to the moon soon and get our fill of green cheese.
Have the lefty protestors been hauled away yet? if not, can someone videotape when they do?
I hope they do march down to that commie pinko sheehan and give her a piece of their mind.
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free.
God Bless Our Troops
Anybody have a way to ping Texas FReepers, especially those in the area?
Also, maybe post something about this thread to the local Texas board: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/profiles?location=91
Anymouse posted a notice to the Texas board referencing the related thread referenced just below. I think that it needs to be emphasized that the rally is apparently a pro-troops pro-Bush, but NOT an anti-Cindy Sheehan protest as the first thread (below) stated.
Here is that related thread, but apparently was partially based on the honest mistake of erroneously characterizing the rally as anti-Sheehan: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1460736/posts
You know how easy it is to get lost in Crawford. They probably won't be able to find the bank.
Maybe this map will help.
I'll be there for this one!
Gracey--please ping others on our HOT chapter list.
They may not want an anti-Cindy rally but it will be hard not to mention her.
At least it needs to be pointed out that Cindy ALREADY met with the POTUS. Fox news again reported that she just wants to meet with him. Hello Fox, she already has!
Thanks for the ping! Hope this goes well. I wish I could be there, but I live all the way across the state from Crawford--plus I have to work, darn it! I will be there in spirit! I'll bet the pro-Bush group will be much larger than the anti-Bush nutjobs! Hope they have fun and yell loud!
Free hamburgers
Plus PETA will be so upset
Just saw Cindy's comments in another thread. Guess she is anti Jew also. Are we sure we can't make this freep about her???? :D
Any "temp" agencies in the immediate vicinity? I'm unable to make it, being in NJ and all, but I would pay somebody $8.00/hr for 8 hours that day to be there as my surrogate.
Texas Ping for Crawford Rally Saturday 8/13 High Noon!
I will be in the hospital, but wish I could go. This has been getting mention by DUmmies, with the usual mocking. If a big enough crowd shows up they will be hard pressed to ignore it......but i am betting th MSM will try to do so in any case
Way to go.
Wish I could fly down there to participate.
Thanks for ping DD!
Hey LS! Check this out!
Whatever ;^)
From another link it sounds like this Sheehan lady has been sipping the kool aid. I'll be at my rock pile Saturday, but if there's any way at all I can skip out, I'll be there.
BTW, what ever became of MsAntifeminazi? There was a Freep at Baylor University two or three years ago and I think she was able to contact the campus Young Republicans for a more organized protest.
Thanks for the ping.
Baylor U. (Waco) graduation ceremony starts at 10 am Sat. Hopefully the speeches will be brief.
Go get 'em! :-)
And a bump!
Hey, this is in your neck of the woods, Squantos. :-) Crawford's within an hour of everything in Texas, right?
ping! Thought you might be interested. :o)
Haven't seen you in awhile, hope all is well.
How long a drive is it from Waco?
Count me in!
About 20 minutes
I just returned from a trip to Fort Hood. On the way to the airport this morning I heard all about this Bar-B-Que/Rally. The morning show hosts were bragging about the Bush Burgers (insert your own joke here). They were getting dozens of supporting calls. One woman called the secretary at her office to complain but was too chicken to speak to them on the air. Anyway, sounds like they're gonna have a boat-load of fun. Wish I could have stayed through the weekend.
Yall want to go to Crawford this Sat.?
yes, the rally is pro troops and pro Bush and I think it should be. But I still think some Freepers need to get out there at some point on do a protesting of Sheehan right next to where she is at.
I tried to look up the YR online. Their website SUCKS! Dead links and poor layout. And I'm a freakin member! LOL
If I got down to Crawford this Sat it wouldn't be till 2pm or so cause i got plans going on before that. So, i doubt it will be worth it to drive down that late, but if i could i would cause I live in Dallas and I want to be there!
It's a long ways for me but my mom lives in Waco and I haven't seen her lately. Thinking about it.
Thank God. I hope the rally is full of people and loud as possible!
Don't know for certain if we will be able to make it but we'll darn sure try!!
That doesn't sound encouraging. I suppose the summer semesters are probably not a good time to catch most of the stoonts there, eh? Other ways to try to contact some/any of 'em as a group?
Go on! Take yer Mama! You'll both be glad you went. :-)
If you knew my momma you might think differently. I took her to a "he's my president" protest rally in 2000. I was scared she was going to get my butt kicked!.

I have the endorsement certificate in my inventory, but I don't know if there's a building.

Veterans Theater Group Coming to Long Beach
The Strindberg Laboratory, an innovative nonprofit that presents professional theater workshops and plays for disadvantaged populations, has agreed to partner with us in Long Beach. That means more opportunities for veterans to collaborate with actors, writers, directors and producers who have valuable experience in the creative arts, and to commune with peers in the process. Yesterday I had an online discussion with Strindberg co-founder Michael Bierman, who explained all veterans have a story to tell, and are encouraged to participate. People Magazine recently published a long piece about the work Michael and his wife Meri Pakarinen have been doing with California inmates. Check out a portion of the chat I had with Michael, and then scroll down to see a video report by People correspondent Tiare Dunlap:

Introducing HomeFront Long Beach
Jeff Norman. RotorAct Long Beach president Brittney Olaes and John Bollinger
Renaissance man John Bollinger and I spoke last night at the semimonthly RotorAct Long Beach Happy Hour Meeting. It was quite a privilege to spend time with young movers and shakers who never stop making their city a better place. We shared our plans to establish an outpost in Long Beach where we'll run a variety of programs with nonprofit partners including Rock to Recovery, The Strindberg Laboratory and Global Business Incubation. I met John in November when we both participated in the Emerald Veterans Business Summit at Loyola Marymount University. It was a conference for veterans who own or plan to own their own businesses. John is an architect, general contractor and construction engineering professor who helped launch the Long Beach World Trade Center and Port of Long Beach. We'll be lining up partners and funding in the coming months in a variety of ways including our Night of Hope and Dreams, a tribute to Bruce Springsteen at the Brass Lamp Bar in Long Beach on March 18, the night before Springsteen's last of three concerts in Los Angeles.

Ricardo Reyes, HomeFront Rising Standout, Takes Position With CA Department of Veterans Affairs
Some of the best veterans' advocates operate in the nonprofit sector to accomplish what they couldn't possibly do if they were to work for a government agency. But we certainly need as many talented and dedicated public servants as possible to address the needs of veterans, and it's with that thought in mind that we wish the very best to our own Ricardo "Rick" Reyes, who has just been appointed Deputy Secretary of Minority Veterans at the California Department of Veterans Affairs. Gov. Brown made the announcement on Thursday. Rick was our Director of Military Outreach in 2009 and 2010, and still serves on our Advisory Board. He's a remarkable Marine veteran who once went undercover posing as a homeless veteran to find out how veterans are treated in shelters. He's now going to bring his passion to Sacramento and offer his services on a statewide level. The governor couldn't have made a better choice.

Veteran Fired For Disability Bounces BackAlthough he sometimes needs to walk with the aid of a cane, Navy veteran Dan Tapia has excelled in the food and beverage industry for many years. After a high-end Beverly Hills restaurant fired him because the cane was supposedly off-putting to patrons, Dan decided to establish his own beer and wine garden in Long Beach. His plan is to hire mostly veterans, including those who are disabled. While the restaurant is in its final phase of construction, Dan is keeping very busy. Last Sunday he demonstrated his mixology skills and walked away the winner of a prestigious holiday cocktail competition, and this Saturday he'll be at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles participating in a panel discussion featuring entrepreneurs who are rising stars in their respective fields. In the two video clips below, Dan discusses his passion for running restaurants, his firing and how that iniquity inspired him to launch his business.

local newspaper. When I finished, I stepped out my front door and watched the
snow coming down harder than I've seen it fall in several years. Sorry
guys, still not buying it. In the article, Nobel prize winner
Mr. Chu predicted dire consequences a few decades from now unless we
change our ways. Didn't Al Gore predict a couple of decades ago that by
2013 there would be no more polar ice caps. Yeah, that didn't happen. Also
in the article Mr. Chu recommended there be taxes on carbon
emissions. That's what it's really all about, and people are starting to wake up
to that fact. Of course the headline in the article I read made sure to include
the fact that Mr. Chu is a "Nobel Prize" winner. Wow, a Nobel prize winner. So I
should believe him because he won a popularity contest among his peers? He may
have won the Nobel prize, but the only credentials you really need to figure
things out are common sense, good observation skills, and a knack for
spotting B.S. Sorry Mr. Chu, I like my credentials better than yours.

Today, Durango is a draw for tourists, who can snowboard, fish, rock climb, take mining tours, see well-preserved ancient Puebloan cliff dwellings, ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a scenic railway that has operated continuously for more than 125 years, on a 46-mile journey through the San Juan National Forest to the quaint, historic mining town of Silverton, noted the National Trust, adding that Durango is also often touted on "best of" lists as a prime location to not only visit, but to live or invest in, or retire to.

A new process for studying proteins associated with diseases

Researchers from Northwestern University and Yale University have developed a new technology to help scientists understand how proteins work and fix them when they are broken. Such knowledge could pave the way for new drugs for a myriad of diseases, including cancer.

Thanks, again for the overworlds you will be credited
What the duce, are you just spamming me?
The mission system (sometimes referred to quests as well) will work like PMD where quests auto generate (except only 10 generate daily per mission center)
The achievements will also be semi-generative, I will manually generate these and on the start up of the game (even before you reach the titlescreen) it will download all possible achievements available. I don't know how you knew this feature as I didn't really say anything about it.
Finally here's my updates:
Finished up route 2
Finished up the "Wifi center" (this controls trading, battles, and mystery gift)
New Menu Screen (I now have 3 to choose from, classic, Rick1234's style, and Rayquaza's style (still working on his menu)) and of course you may select any of the three menus at anytime in the options : D (this might not be in the first release depending on how far I get in the story) I'll also trick these out with the mouse! (Low priority though, I am concentrating on more major things first)
Also, before anyone asks about the images (at the bottom) Image Shack cut the bottom of the images
