Frist of all the slavey last for 400 years compared to the holocaust. 15 million died in slavary compared to 6 millon. Im a black jew and both slavey and the holocaust were bad really really bad. But if u think about it Blacks and jews are the most hated in all the world- histoy proves that. Maybe it could be because Jews are God chosen people and it is proven that in anchent times like during moses times there were black jews.Could it be that were Gods chosen people and hated-think about it.<quoted text>

Dave if your mother was taken away from you brought to a foreign land treated as cattle raped beaten There is a possibility you perhaps wouldn't feel like you do, I personally have accepted that these atrocities did take place and although in the pass never forgotten. Today and everyday since the holocaust took place the Germans are paying for it, they have apologised on numerous occasions. Who has accepted responsibility for slavery who has apologised for this crime..... I'll tell you who black Africans that who.
People like you who choose to bring up such sore subjects without facts were never born with heart. When your poor mother gave birth to you it appears you were delivered via the anal passage.

slaves were hungry beat raped tortured for bieng black. jews were close to extermination went through genocide were gassed test subjects

#411 Nov 14, 2012
That's....not true....There were tens of millions of Africans who were taken from Africa...and a majority of those people did not survive. Then you must count that examples were made out of slaves...so many died during those "examples"...and you must remember that slavery lasted for over 200 years...and then there are the slaves that tried to run away and were killed.... These records/numbers aren't found in our history books so we automatically assume that the Holocaust had more victims, and that's not necessarily true. I'm not saying that slavery was worse, or better. What I am saying is that the history of slavery is so distorted and not fully reported on in our textbooks that it minimizes the struggle of slaves, while also minimizing the effects it has had on our current generation.
#412 Nov 22, 2012
i bleive that the middle passage was worst or slavery but if u do ur reserch and look at the different conditions that they were each in closely pay attention u will relize it too and plus slavery lasted wayyyyyyyyyyyy longer than the holocaust yes the holocaust was devasting but slavery was way worser and the jews were given over 10 billion dollars for how they have been treated in the past but what in the world do black people get yep thats right OVERLOOKED

Not at all. From the mid 1960s till now, African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves) have been paid reparations. In these respective forms.---
The White-American masses collectively & American governmental entities at the federal, state & local levels have done PLENTY. To help & empower African Americans.
Since White-Americans are Americas numerically dominant majority & since White-Americans pay the most in taxes.--- White-Americans have been disproportionately paying for the African Americans who are on welfare & other entitlements.
Examples of aid given to African Americans. At the grassroots level.---
Among the respective White groups, Jewish-Americans have especially done a lot to help & empower African Americans.
Jewish-Americans played a very critical & pivotal part in the formation of the National Association Colored People (NAACP), National Urban League (NUL), Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) & the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) organizations.
Jewish-Americans played a very critical & pivotal part in the sustaining of all of these African American organizations.
Jewish-Americans also gave a lot of assistance to the 1960s African American "Civil Rights Movement". This aid primarily consisted of monetary donations & legal assistance.
In addition, back in the 1960s, many Jewish-Americans who lived in the northern American states.--- These Jewish-Americans traveled down to the southern American states. To confront the Jim Crow laws which the southern American states had in place back then.
Other examples of aid.--- From the 1960s till now, African Americans have been given preferential treatment in the areas of aid, job hiring, set asides & university admissions.
From the 1960s till now, African Americans have been given trillions & trillions of dollars in aid in these forms.--- Welfare, housing aid, rent assistance, heat assistance, educational aid, health care aid, TANF, Section 8, AFDC, WIC, transportation aid, phone bill aid, legal aid, child care, day care, foster care, affirmative action/quotas, set aside & federal jobs.
So, the White-American masses collectively & American governmental entities at the federal, state & local levels have MORE than done their fair share to help & empower African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves).
Subsequently, reparations have been paid.
#414 Nov 28, 2012
See ya --- In regards to your previous post to me,#408.--- You said "slaves would have been fine where they were".-- Uh, not at all.
African slavery was (Still is) VERY brutal.
American slavery was WAY more humane. Compared to the slavery systems which the respective African nations utilized.
You said "They were kings and queens and doctors and very educated people".--- Granted, black African kings, queens, doctors & other educated ones existed.
But, the black Africans who were the kings, queens, doctors & other educated ones were NOT African Americans ancestors.
With all due respect, one must look at slavery in its entirety.
This is the deal.-- Way, way before any Whites ever traveled to Africa, African Americans ancestors were already enslaved. African Americans ancestors were already enslaved by rival, black African tribes.
African Americans ancestors were already enslaved by these rival, black African tribes was because they were the losers in battle to these rival, black African tribes.
This is why African Americans ancestors were enslaved by these rival, black African tribes.
These black African empires who sold African Americans ancestors to the Whites.---
These black African empires were ALLIES of the Whites.
The black African tribal chiefs VERY openly & very willingly sold African Americans ancestors to the Whites.
American slavery was WAY more humane compared to black African slavery.
Had the Whites not purchased African Americans ancestors, they would have been neutralized at the hands of these rival, black African tribes.
Years before slavery was to be ended in the nations of this hemisphere ((United States (US), nations of the Caribbean, Central America & South America)).--- Black African tribal chiefs sent representatives to these nations. To try to talk them out of banning slavery.
Black African tribal chiefs did this because they were profiting from the slave trade.
Again, the Black African empires were the ALLIES of the Whites.
#415 Nov 28, 2012
See ya --- Your last points to me here.--- You said "Came to Africa and stole the diamonds and precious Jules".--- No.
Way, way back, when landing parties from the United Kingdom (UK), France, Belgium & Portugal went to black African nations.--- This was in COLLUSION with black African empires. In alliance.
You said "Now they don't have anything".--- Totally false.
Africa is LOADED with vital raw materials.
Actually, sub-saharan Africa (Aka -- Black Africa) is the MOST critical land area for the future of the world.
Due to black Africas immense natural resources.
In my next post, I'll list Israels, the United States (US) & the United Kingdoms (UKs) main black African Allies.
#416 Nov 28, 2012
Nope. Africa is still LOADED with raw materials. Very vital ones at this.
The United States (US) federal government cannot have a hands off approach regarding Africa.
The US federal gov't MUST take a very active role in African affairs.
The African continent is CRITICAL for the future.
Throughout the Cold War years, Israel, the US & the United Kingdom (UK) had black African Allies.
Even with the Cold War ending back in 1991, the alliances continued. They still exist.
Here's a list of Israels, the USs & the UKs main black African Allies. As to why the US, Israel & the UK MUST take an active role in Africas affairs.---
1. UNITA & FNLA organizations of Angola. As well as their supporters.
2. Renamo organization of Mozambique. As well as their supporters.
3. West African OCAM alliance. As well as their supporters.
4. West African ECOWAS alliance. As well as their supporters.
5. West African ECWA alliance. As well as their supporters.
6. Nigerian government. As well as their supporters.
7. In Nigeria.--- Supporters of Sani Abacha.
8. In Liberia.--- After Charles Taylor & his NPFL organization were forced out back in 2003.--- Israel, the US & the UK got an ally with the government (Headed by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf) & their supporters.
9. In Liberia.--- Supporters of Samuel Doe.
10. In Liberia.--- After Charles Taylor was forced out, Israel, the US & the UK forced Taylors NPFL organization to moderate their views.
11. Democratic Republic of the Congo.--- Supporters of Joseph Mobutu.
12. In Eritrea.-- Eritrean government.
EPLF Party & its leader, Isaias Afewerki.
13. In Eritrea.-- Many Paramilitary organizations within Eritrea.
14. Kenyan government. As well as their supporters.
15. Somalian government.--- Somalias new Transitional Federal Government (TFG). As well as their supporters.
16. Ethiopian government.--- After the Derg regime was overthrown back in early 1991.--- Israel, the US & the UK picked up Ethiopia as an ally.
With the EPRDF Party & its leader, Meles Zenawi.
As well as their supporters.
17. Zambian government. As well as their supporters.
18. Cameroonian government. As well as their supporters.
19. Senegalese government. As well as their supporters.
20. In Chad.-- The FANT & FAP organizations. As well as their supporters.
21. In Chad.--- The supporters of Hissene Habre.
22. Tanzanian government.--- Prior to Julius Nyereres death, he brought the Tanzanian gov't increasingly close to Israel, the US & the UK.
23. Equatorial Guinean (EG) government.--- After Macias Nguemas regime was overthrown.--- Israel, the US & the UK picked up EG as an ally.
24. Guinea-Bissauan government.--- After Amil Cabral was murdered.-- His PAIGC Party moderated their views.
Moved increasingly towards Israel, the US & the UK.
These are Israels, the USs & the UKs main black African Allies.
There are many, many more. But, these examples would be the top Allies.
There is also the AFRICOM.
This is why the US federal gov't HAS to take an active role in Africas affairs.
The US federal gov't HAS to have a hands on approach.
So does Israel & the UK.
#417 Nov 29, 2012
Rye ---- In regards to your previous post,#399.--- You said "If you do your research you'll find out that it was the jewish people who financed the atlantic slave trade".--- Even if this is true, so what.
Way, way back, when the institution of legal slavery was in operation in the lands of this hemisphere ((United States (US), the nations of the Caribbean, Central America & South America)).--- It was WAY more humane. Compared to black African slavery.
You said "Those people over there in israel are not even the real jews".-- They SURE are.
What you are saying here, you sound anti-Zionist. You also sound like an anti-Semite.
Granted, there are some "black" Jews. Probably the most notable black Jews would be these.-- Sammy Davis Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, Lisa Bonet, David Blumenthal, Nell Carter, Drake, Goapele, Meagan Good, Lani Guinier, Kidada Jones, Rashida Jones, Zab Judah, Jamaica Kincaid, Boris Kodjoe, Yaphet Kotto, Lenny Kravitz, Lauren London, Saoul Mamby, Rain Pryor, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rovetta, Maya Rudolf & Shyne.
There are also the black Ethiopian Jews. The Beta Israel. The Falashas.
Most Jews are White.
#418 Nov 29, 2012
Rye --- In regards to your previous post,#398.---
You said "Slavery lasted nearly 400 years and approximately 100 million blacks died".--- Totally NOT true.
This figure of "100 million" has been listed by many left wing afrocentrics. All left wing afrocentrism has been debunked by all mainstream historians & anthropologists.
You said "The holocaust only lasted 15 years and only approximately 6 million jewish people died".--- 6 million is A LOT.
Please put the dynamic of what happened in the proper perspective.---
Which group is more of an ASSET to the United States (US) & to the rest of the world?--- African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves)? Or, Jews?
Let's look at accomplishments.---
What positive contributions have African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves) made?--- American basketball players. Some positions in American football. In American football, as wide receivers, running backs, cornerbacks & defensive linemen.
There are some good African American comedians, actors, actresses & singers.
Now, let's look at ALL of the things which Jews in America & throughout the rest of the world have done for mankind.---
Jewish people have made TREMENDOUS strides & contributions to America & to the rest of the world. In the areas of science, medicine, engineering, agriculture, architecture, finance, heavy industry, light industry, airplanes, shipping, railroads, television media, newspaper print venues, computers, space programs, satellites, law, politics, military science, military technology, military tactics & strategy.
So, Jews are WAY more of an ASSET to the US & to the rest of the nations of the world.
#419 Nov 29, 2012
Rye --- You said "They've been in israel now for over 60 years, and every since they got over their its been nothing but war".--- Well, why has the nation of Israel HAD to fight wars?
Israel has HAD to fight wars due to the aggression of the Arab nations & the Arab terrorist organizations.
Here are many examples of this.--- 1. When Israel first became a nation back in 1948.--- Its Arab neighbors, Syria, Egypt, Transjordan, Lebanon & Iraq didn't recognize Israels right to exist.
These Arab nations all attacked Israel.
In addition, Arab guerrilla / terrorist organizations, the Holy War Army, Arab Liberation Army & the Muslim Brotherhood also attaked Israel.
2. Back in 1956.--- Syria & Egypt carried out attacks against Israel. This led to war.
3. Back in 1967.--- Syria & Egypt carried out attacks against Israel. This led to the 6 day war.
4. Back in 1973.-- Syria & Egypt carried out attacks against Israel. This led to the October, 1973 Yom Kippur War.
5. For many decades, Syria, Egypt (Egypt used to, up until the 1978 Camp David Peace Accord), Libya, Southern Yemen (Southern Yemen used to up until 1990) & Iraq (Iraq used to up until March, 2003).--- Have bankrolled Arab terrorist organizations which have carried out terrorist attacks upon Israeli men, women & children.
These are the Arab left wing terrorist organizations.-- PLO factions.--- Al Fatah, As Saiqa, PFLP, DFLP, PPP, PLF, ALF, Fida, PPSF, PAF & the PFLP-GC.
These are the Arab Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organizations.--- Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Muslim Brotherhood & the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
For many decades, Israel, under its many Prime Ministers which it has had from the Israeli Labor Party & even from the Likud Party have ALWAYS negotiated & bargained in good faith with the Arab nations.
Even with the Arab terrorist organizations.
It has been the Arab nations & Arab terrorist organizations which have NEVER negotiated or bargained in good faith with Israel.
So, Israel is NOT to blame.
Israel & Israelis have every right to defend & protect themselves. By whatever means necessary.
#420 Nov 29, 2012
Rye --- Your last point here.--- You said "what's afghanistan? war, iraq? war, what's iran? War".
Iran hasn't been attacked. At least not yet. But, Iran is being monitored VERY closely.
The United States (US) former president, Republican George Bush Jr. HAD to order the invasions & liberations of Afghanistan & Iraq.
Regarding Afghanistan.--- America was attacked on 9/11 by Osama Bin Laden & his Islamic fundamentalist Al Qaeda organization. Afghanistan was under the control of the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban regime. The Taliban were providing Bin Laden & his Al Qaeda organization with safe haven, weapons & training.
Subsequently, Bush Jr. had to order the invasion & liberation of Afghanistan.
Regarding Iraq.--- Iraq was under the control of Saddam Hussein & his left wing Ba'ath Party dictatorship. Hussein couldn't be trusted. Hussein was very anti-American, anti-Israel & anti-British.
Hussein had ties to international Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organizations.
Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).
These were some of Husseins biological weapons stockpile.-- Anthrax, Ricin, Botulinum Toxin, Saxitoxin, Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B, T-2 mycotoxin & Tetrodotoxin.
These were Husseins chemical weapons stockpile.-- Mustard Gas, Lewisite, Phosgene, Tabun, Sarin, Soman & VX.
Colin Powell pointed this stuff out at the United Nations (UN).
Even our nations former president, democrat Bill Clinton EVEN acknowledged this stuff.
Right prior to American & Allied forces invading Iraq.--- Hussein moved his WMD stockpiles to Syria & to Iran. Primarily to Syria because Syria is also under the control of the Ba'ath Party (A different faction than Iraq).
This took place back in early March, 2003.
ALL of this stuff has been very well documented by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Israeli Mossad Organization & the British MI6 Organization.
Here are many other top sources who have also documented this.---
1. Iraqi General Ali Ibrahim al-Tikriti.
2. Lt. General Michael DeLong.
3. John Loftus.
4. Ion Mihai Pacepa. Ion was a Romanian defector. Pacepa was also the former top head of Romanias Intelligence Services.
5. Iraqi General Georges Sada.
6. Nizar Nayouf. Nayouf was a former high level Syrian journalist.
7. Moshe Ya'alon. Moshes rank in Israel was Israeli Chief of Staff & the Head of the Israeli Defense Forces.
Ya'alon was also a very high ranking member of the Israeli Likud Party.
Moshe was also Vice Prime Minister & Prime Minister for Israels Strategic Affairs.
8. Ariel Sharon.
Ariel was an Israeli General & former Prime Minister of Israel.
ALL of these respective people have fully documented Iraqs former left wing Ba'ath Party dictatorship having WMDs.
Subsequently, the American & Allied invasion & liberation of Iraq was FULLY justified. Also, a very just & noble cause.
#421 Nov 29, 2012
dave fatherly --- In regards to your previous post,#406.--- You said "The African holocaust which America refers to as slavery was by far worse because more africans died then jews".--- Totally not true.
WAY more Jews died during the Holocaust.
Jews are WAY more productive people than African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves).
African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves) positives are this.--- American basketball & some positions in football. In American football, as wide receivers, running backs, cornerbacks & defensive linemen.
There are some good African American comedians, actors, actresses & singers.
Let's look at ALL of the things which Jews have done for mankind.---
Jewish people have made TREMENDOUS strides & contributions to America & to the whole world. In the areas of science, medicine, engineering, agriculture, architecture, finance, heavy industry, light industry, airplanes, shipping, computers, space programs, satellites, law, politics, television media, newspaper print outlets, military science, military technology, military tactics & strategy.
Jews are WAY more of an asset to America & to the rest of the nations of the world.
You said "goes unaccounted for cause documentation did not exist for black people".--- Documentation sure did exist in the United States (US), the nations of the Caribbean, Central America & South America.
Primarily in the United States.
You said "and the destruction of the African family and culture".--- African Americans ancestors didn't have a culture PRIOR to any Whites arriving in Africa.
African Americans ancestors didn't have any culture whatsoever since they were slaves.
Since African Americans ancestors were already slaves to rival, black African tribes.
You said "The fact that people were wiped till they were unconscious, thrown over a boat in which they drown or were eaten by sharks, lost limbs and body parts due to not meeting a labor quota, men and women raped, used as science projects which established surgery, and meaning less killings to install fear".--- Granted, stuff like this did happen.
But, these occurrences were VERY rare.
Especially in regards to the shipping lanes of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade which went to the United States (US).
Please let's look at the entirety of the time frame when the US had the institution of legal slavery in operation.--
American slavery was WAY more humane than black African slavery.
This is why.--- African Americans ancestors were given a salary, good food, clothes, fresh water & comfortable living quarters.
Furthermore, African Americans ancestors were able to work in the nice, warm southern weather with the nice, comfortable breezes.
The African American slave women were able to lay out in the nice, warm southern weather with the nice, comfortable breezes.
American slavery wasn't that bad at all.
#422 Nov 29, 2012
dave fatherly --- Your last point here.--- You said "which built and financially supported and developed majority of the world".--- Picking cotton didn't build anything. Whatever profits which the American White southern slave owning families made, these profits were wiped out by 1865.
Whatever "good" which African American ancestors did, it has been more than offsetted due to the behavior, actions & attitudes of African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves) from 1960 till now.
#424 Dec 9, 2012
Slavery is entirely worst, and black people did die, 6 million died in the holocaust, and that was no more than a decade, imagine centuries of that and tell me which was worst.
United States
#425 Dec 9, 2012
Both slavery and the Holocaust were the inevitable results of a people who had turned their backs on the Lord. And many innocents ended up suffering alongside of them.
#426 Dec 31, 2012
Okay. I feel the need to respond to Sara from Georgia. First, I believe that slavery is a far worse crime against humanity than the Holocaust was. Why? Well, the Jews received some semblance of justice in 1945 when the NAZIS were put on trial at Nuremberg. Moreover, the Jewish descendants received trillons of dollars in reparations payments from those Swiss banks. As for descendants of black slaves like myself, we have had no such luck. Slaveholders have never been held accountable for the crimes against humanity that they committed. We certainly haven't received any reparations payments from the American government.
It is very easy for Sara to dismiss slavery as "the past" due to her position in life. She has in fact benefited from the crimes her ancestors committed. African-Americans are routinely stereotypes as criminals and dismissed as second class citizens in the United States. We are chronically underrepresented in the medical schools, law schools and in fortune 500 businesses. The Presidency of Barack Obama has done little to narrow the socioeconomic disparities between blacks and whites. Sara has a very romanticized view of these issues and tends to look at history through "rose-colored" glasses rather than for what these crimes truly represented.
Thank you
Quinn Nelson
#427 Dec 31, 2012
Bryan, you really need to go back to school. Not only were the Jews compensated by the Swiss banks, most of the NaZIS were held accountable for their crimes at the Nuremberg trials of 1945. Slaveholders have never been held accountable for anything and blacks certainly have not received repararations from the US government. Now, I agree that if the states agreed to pay reparations to blacks, the trillions of dollars owed would cripple the US economy. Bryan, you have a lot to learn.

Department of Astronomy
The Department of Astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin is located on the 15th floor of the Robert Lee Moore Building [RLM], at the southeast corner of Dean Keeton (26th Street) and Speedway Avenue.
Twenty-four active teaching faculty, twelve research scientists, and many research associates and postdoctoral fellows, maintain activity and research in virtually all areas of modern astronomy, from cosmology, first stars, galaxy formation and evolution, supernovae, black holes, and gamma-ray bursts, to our solar system, extrasolar planetary systems, star and planet formation and evolution, and the interstellar medium. Computational modeling is supported by some of the world's most powerful supercomputers at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).
The Department's association with McDonald Observatory (located in the Davis Mountains of west Texas) provides excellent observing access for students and staff, and nurtures a leading program in instrumentation development. The observatory is currently retrofitting the 10 m Hobby-Eberly Telescope with 150 integral field spectrographs to conduct the deepest yet survey of the early universe (HETDEX), while infrared instrument builders will contribute to the next generation Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), under construction in Chile, in which The University of Texas is a founding partner.
Details of astronomical research can be found in our research section. For published works, see the ADS and astro-ph links listed by researcher.

PPC is an acronym for the term pay per click advertising. Pay per click is one of two main types of online advertising. The other is PPI, pay per impressions. With PPC advertising, you pay a certain denomination every time someone clicks on your ad, where with PPI, you pay every time someone sees your ad. Businesses generally run Google Ads as pay per click advertisements.
Google Ads are for everyone.Google PPC advertisements have the potential to make a huge difference for any organization. No company is too large or too small to benefit from pay per click. To get your company started using PPC, visit http://ads.google.com/ and register. Google will walk you through the steps to setup and optimize your PPC ads.
Set a goal for your advertisements.What are you trying to do with your PPC ads? Are you trying to drive a sale, a phone call, a lead? Determine what you are trying to do and determine how it should contribute to your bottom line. Be sure that your advertisements include a clear call to action that moves viewers to your goal.
Track Your CPA.No, I am not suggesting that you hire a private detective to stalk your accountant. CPA stands for cost per action. Once you have determined what action you are trying to achieve with your pay per click campaign, keep track of how much it costs. You want to be sure that every investment you make contributes to a positive return.
PPC is your artillery.When the United States needs to make a midnight raid in Afghanistan, it does not call for its reserve troops sitting in their bunks in Kansas. This would take too long and result in a failed mission. When the military wants immediate results, it calls in the artillery. Most Internet marketing strategies are the business equivalent of at-home infantry, and takes weeks or months to provide a return. When you want to see immediate results, invest in PPC.
Effective PPC campaigns choose the right keywords.With PPC, you choose keywords on which to bid. Every time someone searches one of these keywords, Google considers your bid. If your bid is high enough, Google will place your ad on that person's search results page. Companies that fail to choose the right keywords risk either lots of unprofitable visitors clicking on their ad or no one clicking on their ad at all.
How do I win with PPC?Success in pay per click campaigns comes from managing your costs and measuring your returns. Keep a close eye on your cost per action (remember … CPA) and be sure that your actions bring in more in revenue than they cost.

What is in this article?:
- The Competitive Edge: Myths About Manufacturing
- 2. We're in the midst of a manufacturing renaissance.
"While a U.S. manufacturing renaissance is possible, we're not there yet. In fact, U.S. manufacturing hasn't even fully recovered from the Great Recession and isn't expected to until the 4th quarter of 2014."
Gold: 'We can't afford to continue hemorrhaging our advanced manufacturing capabilities.'
Ten years ago, a list of myths about manufacturing would have started with the humdinger that we no longer make anything in America. But behind the efforts of MAPI, the National Association of Manufacturers, the White House and others, many more Americans are familiar with the continued dynamism of this nation's factory sector. Still, myths abound. Some diminish manufacturing's value; others create unrealistic expectations for the sector. It's important to correct all of them in order to ensure more focused and effective public policies.
See Also: Global Manufacturing Economy Trends & Analysis
Here are three myths that continue to arise in the media:
1. We don't need to actually make anything here to create wealth. A persistent myth is the concept that it doesn't matter where production occurs because America can remain competitive by selling its ideas. Unfortunately, we now have three decades of evidence to rebut this argument.
Some ideas are more valuable than others -- that is, they generate more wealth for society. Such is the case with manufacturing innovation. Manufacturers spend more dollars on R&D than other sectors, and because of the multiplier effect, such activity tends to have a greater impact. When production goes overseas, we lose this innovation because in many cases designers and engineers trail the factories to their new locations in order to more quickly and effectively facilitate process and product changes.
The damage doesn't stop there. Once production is established in a specific locale, a community of designers, suppliers, researchers, investors, and skilled workers develop around it -- what Harvard's Gary Pisano and Willy Shih call an "industrial commons." This facilitates the next generation of innovation in that region. Thus, when the United States outsourced the production of TVs to Asia several decades back, that region gained (and we lost out on) the innovation and production of plasma, LED and liquid crystal displays (LCD) TVs -- and who knows what next. We can't afford to continue hemorrhaging our advanced manufacturing capabilities.

Story 1
A man come to a wise man describing his child:
He is very good.
Wise man put a zero down.0
He does not steal.
Wise man put another zero down. 00
He speaks nice .
Wise man put another 0 down.000
After many qualities the man said:
He is a faithful Eastern Orthodox Christian.
Then the wise man put a 1 in front of all 0's. Eastern Orthodox Christianity through Holy Communion gives people eternal life or immortality. Without life all these qualities are a small 0. With life these qualities become important.1 John 6:53 tells about eternal life and Holy Eucharist that is available today in your neighborhood. [link to www.youtube.com]
Story 2
The wise man said, listen lets say there is a math or soccer contest and you and your team have to meet a team that is 1 billion times more powerful and skillful and better than any team on Earth than any dream team on Earth. What you do knowing that if u loose, your living conditions can became worse or desperate?
I don't know said the man.
Well, what you do is to try bring in your team somebody better than adversaries all together. Once you did that, you can win. You are in the team of humanity and against the team of sick angels that stand against salvation threatening the well being in after life. Asking God to be on your side, you can put your team including those that temporally lost the battle, in an advantage and win. Pray to God to show you what to do and to be on your side.
The 1 billion+ more powerful team is watching over you. Ask God for help.
Story 3
The wise man was told by the ruler to award the "Worst decision" prize. He went across all the places and could not find any decision worthy of it.
Now the Ruler was old and almost dying.
What happens asked wise man?
I am going to a long trip?
Did you prepare for it asked the wise man?
Did you know about it?
Yes, for a long time.
Then the prize is yours.
Preparations for the long trip: 1.baptism for Heaven John 3:3, 2. Holy Communion for immortality John 6:53. 3.Try fulfilling Matthew 25:31-40. A woman while in near death found herself naked on Heaven since she did not give any clothes to needy. 4.Maybe Apostle Thomas life and Matthew 25:31-40 teaches you how to build a castle or maybe anything your hearth desire on Heaven, or afterlife.
|Why are christians so concerned with eternal life ? It's the only religion that fixates on this issue .
|Proof you will live this exact same life over and over again for all eternity
|The fact that science searches for eternal life when we already have it is completely absurd
|Get on the narrow way walking in faith and obedience, for it leads to eternal life
|Consciousness/Life does NOT cease to exist when you Die. Energy is Eternal. You Atheists are WRONG

text: I recently took my computer in for repairs. When I picked it up the guy said that: "All your documents are still there, including your music, but you will need to re-download iTunes, but when you do, all your music will be there" I loaded my iTunes today - all my music was there, except the majority of songs had exclamation points beside them, and when I clicked to play them a message came up stating the song could not be used because its original file could not be found, and it asked me to locate it manually. (When I did so I couldn't find anything anywhere) I noticed that all these songs were the ones I had downloaded from Limewire. So, I re-downloaded Limewire hoping it would put all my music back on to my iTunes, only to find that my entire Limewire library has been deleted (I don't care much about that, but there goes my only idea) Point is, I have no idea where, how, and if i'll even be able to locate my songs.. will I have to download every single one all over again from Limewire? An idea I have of my own is: If I plug in my iPod (which has all these "lost" songs) will all those lost songs become un-lost?

Spring had almost sprung.
After a run of warm and sunny days, Sydney will make a brief return to wintery conditions today with cold winds making the city feel close to freezing.
"Wind chill will have the tendency to drag the temperature down ... a little bit later in the day," Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Dmitriy Danchuk said.
"For Sydney for today we're expecting temperatures within the 13 to 16 degrees range, but in the middle of the day I wouldn't be surprised if it feels like temperatures slightly above zero."
The bureau has issued severe weather warnings for gale force winds along the NSW coast, as well as high seas and damaging surf.
"Beach conditions in these areas could be dangerous and people should stay well away from the surf and surf exposed areas," the warning said.
Mr Danchuk said there had also been overnight reports of snow in the Blue Mountains and in Orange, in the state's central west.
There was heavy snowfall near Nimmitabel and Bombala, in the Snowy Mountains, with local police warning of possible road closures and treacherous conditions.
"Anyone travelling through the Snowy region needs be mindful of the extreme risk posed by ice and snow on the road surface and drive to the conditions," Monaro Local Area Command duty officer Inspector Chris Varley said.
Mr Danchuk said the cold conditions were being caused by a dip in a low pressure system in the southern Tasman Sea.
"So today we will have almost simultaneous increase in the winds and waves and, on top of that, there will be general brief cooling."
The winds are forecast to continue over the weekend, with isolated showers forecast for Sydney tomorrow and Sunday.

Last of the Summer Wine
There's nothing more fun than trying to think up palindromes after a few glasses of wine. Go on. Try it.
Let's do this. One last spree before sunset. A final frolic in the heat and haze. The next time we meet like this, the breezes will be cooler, the leaves will be redder, and the harvest will be almost ripe. It's the last Wine-Off of the summer. And we don't intend to waste it.

There is a 1/3rd scale Spitfire near me with a ZDZ 210 in it, same probs as the 'stang, I will try and find contact details of the guy.
I have the same problem on a 1/4 scale p51 I am building with a twin inline engine. I can't see how to get the airflow without excessive cutouts, I know of a guy who had to reduce the size of the engine, went from a 150 twin to a 110, which seems to have solved the problem.
But really you need to duct from one side of the engine to the other, not front to back. Max volume, minimum restrictions, smooth curves, tight shrouding and 5 times the exit ducts to inlet ones. Really hard to do on a mustang and keep it looking scale, so much so I was looking at liquid cooling the heads. I'll be using the da 100 inline if they ever actually get around to selling them, as I have a couple of used cylinders spare to use to test the liquid cooling principle.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I posted this for a friend who is building the 1/3 scale P-51. He also has a 1/4 scale p-51 and the same problem. His name is Dave Nash. If you get a contact I will put him in touch with him. Those war birds are problematic with the cooling when you use inline engines. But like you say if you get the flow from one side to another...that is the secret. thanks.

I have been practicing ballet for 18 years and stopped about 5 years ago. This DVD was great because it shows you the fundamentals and gives you a great workout (I definitely worked up a sweat (particularly on the releve's ). Her voice is very calming and soothing and she encourages you to either keep going or make the move a little bit tougher if it is too easy. Overall a great workout DVD. I would have given it 5 stars if the DVD included a ballet dance sequence or adagio of some sort (a simple combination of basic steps would have been cool). Either way I enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.Read More
If you are looking for a new way to exercise, return to the basics of stretching and toning. I just to dance as a child to teen years, then I transformed to working out with weights. Now that I'm in my 40's I no longer want to work out in the gym. Dancing has always been my passion so I have decided to return to it. People watch Dancing With The Stars to which dancing has returned and you can see by example how weight loss, cardio exercise, and pose helps your body in all ways. This video teaches the basics, has very nice music, and is very easy. I immediately saw myself standing taller with pose and felt the workout in my legs. This is excellent for women in their 40's who are going through that overnight change of your body. It's truly a DVD for all ages and gender. There are no other equipment items necessary to purchase. All you need is a chair for some portion of the exercises. I highly recommend this DVD.Read More
This DVD is a great workout, the instructor uses ballet terms that struck a cord with my memory of dance class. I was sore after the first time I used the DVD! It was fun, even tempoed and a great workout!Read More
I used to do ballet for years when I was a child. I am now in my mid 20's. I wanted to start getting back into it so I bought this DVD. The first day I did it, I loved it and thought it was a real challenge. The next day I knew how hard it had been because I was pretty sore in my legs. It makes you use all of your leg muscles and really work on your core muscles. I really enjoy doing this video! I always feel more relaxed and feel better about myself afterwards. I would definitely recommend it!Read More
I gave it 4 because it didn't contain a teaching chapter. From some angles it's hard for me to tell how she's holding her body, and there's enough room on the DVD that a short instructional section could've been included. I feel this way about a lot of DVDs that use styles I'm not familiar with- teach me so I use proper technique, and get familiar with the moves faster! But I know I will catch on, so don't let lack of ballet experience keep you from trying this. The setting is beautiful, and the music is upbeat. I like the instructor, and she gives decent instruction and cueing during the workout. The workout itself is good, and harder than I thought it would be. Even though I do other DVDs that rely on lots of plies, squats, and lunges, I found this to be a challenge! It definitely works the legs in a different way. I now have even more respect for the strength and grace of ballet dancers!Read More
I really enjoy this DVD. The setting is lovely, instructions are clear. The pace is good with little downtime. It is not strenuous but slow, deliberate and thorough.I will use it regularly to complement my aerobic workouts. The best shape I was ever in was when I studied ballet.Read More
I didn't really know what to expect when I tried this dvd. I am an intermediate/advanced level, but I knew that it would be challenging, as I have never tried ballet before. Even so, this was a very pleasant, yet rigorous workout. I definitly feel like I worked out and I also broke a sweat. I know that this workout will contribute to toning and slimming my legs, which is an area I personally would like to improve, as well as the rest of my body. The ab section incorporates many pilates type exercises to tone and tighten the midsection. Even though I regularily do pilates, I really felt my abs more than I expected. The setting was beautiful and the instruction was very pleasant and relaxing without causing you to lose focus to exert yourself. I enjoyed this workout, thought it was effective and enjoyable. Anyone who is involved in dance or who wants to maintain or obtain a long lean physique will enjoy this workout.Read More

Schwarzenegger's next stop: EU president?
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who made a seamless transition from Hollywood film stardom to California governor, could have his sights set on a new job as next head of the European Union, US media reported.
The Austrian-born former body builder, 63, at loose ends as he tries to figure out what his next act should be, reportedly is being advised by aides to return to his native Europe to run for the EU presidency, Newsweek reported.
"In the next few years, the EU will be looking for a much more high-profile president -- somebody who can unify Europe," Schwarzenegger's chief of staff Terry Tamminen told the magazine.
"The French won't want a German, and the Germans won't want an Italian. How about a European-born person who went off to America and -- could return to be the Washington or Jefferson of a new unified Europe?" said Tamminen, all but nominating his former boss for the job.
Schwarzenegger, who in January ended two terms as California's governor, occupies a unique place as an American celebrity who is as much a politician as he is a movie star.
When he ended his stint as California's Republican "Governator," observers were curious to see if the former action hero would return to the big screen or remain in the political fray.
Even now, Schwarzenegger has remained mum on the question of whether he'll pursue a career in politics or movies.
What is certain is that he will not be able to run for another political office he might like to vie for -- US president. Under American law, only native born Americans can stand for the highest US office.
Still, Newsweek suggested that there are fans, both inside and outside America, who might not be averse to a US President "Ahnold."
The magazine cited a recent meeting in London between Schwarzenegger and Prime Minister David Cameron, in which the British politician joked: "We need to change the (US) Constitution and then you can run (for president). That's what we're going to do."
Schwarzenegger came to the United States as a penniless 21-year-old in 1968, but became a millionaire and won the Mr Universe title four more times. He then shrugged off barbs about his thick accent as he turned to acting.
Joining Hollywood's royalty, his ominous "Terminator" catchphrases "I'll be back" and "Hasta la vista, baby" have now entered the English lexicon -- and he still uses them frequently as a politician.
Even if he quits both politics and acting, Newsweek wrote, he is plenty busy with his work for the United Nations and other organizations on climate change and numerous other charitable causes.
A book deal also is said to be in the works, and he is reported to be in talks for a sequel to 1994 blockbuster "True Lies."
But even Schwarzenegger's wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver, a member of the illustrious Kennedy political dynasty, told Newsweek that she had no clue what her mercurial husband's next move will be.
"No matter what Arnold decides to do, I'm sure he'll have fun doing it, and it will have impact," she said.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
"Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it." Deuteronomy 10:14
"The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." Psalm 24:1-3
"For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." 1 Corinthians 10:26
Since I wrote about the carbon fast sponsored by St. Mark's Presbyterian Church of Bethesda a few weeks ago, many people have asked me to explain the connection between my interest in environmental affairs and my beliefs as a Christian. The answer is fairly simple. I believe that God, as the Divine creator, provided Earth as His gift to us. Mankind, the beneficiary of this Divine largess, is the designated as caretaker of His property.
Over 2,500 years worth of inspired writings by biblical authors leave no doubt about who has Divine ownership rights over the planet. Even a cursory review of the above passages indicates that mankind's authority is based his role as an occupant and caretaker on the Owner's behalf. (This is not a consensus opinion and I'll discuss this further in an upcoming post.)
In that regard, care for the Earth isn't merely casual hobby. It's a legitimate expression of my love for and relationship with the Creator of the universe.
I'm an avid hiker. Part of the attraction is the privilege of getting up close to my favorite venues like the Grand Canyon, Mt. Rainer and Denali. Those breathtaking views always affirm my belief that those are works of Divine artistry, not a random circumstance of nature. As such, I want to demonstrate my gratitude by helping to preserve the splendor of this precious gift.
It's taken a long while for our society to grasp that reality. A charitable analogy would be to compare our regard for the planet to a tenant of a highly desirable property whose care depreciates the value of the asset and threatens the well-being of the inhabitants.
Imagine how the Owner must feel.
Fortunately, a growing number of Christians are recognizing our responsibility to practice responsible environmental stewardship and to advocate public and corporate governing policies that are consistent with our beliefs. It's not yet a majority consensus among faith communities, but the emerging shift in momentum is encouraging.
For now, I"m happy for the forum to share my passion in the hope that like-minded persons will be motivated to join the movement.

The quality of our region's sources of drinking water--underground aquifers, lakes, streams, rivers, and reservoirs--has long been a priority at NEIWPCC. Certainly, drinking water can be treated before consumption, but the best strategy, from both an economic and environmental standpoint, is to prevent contamination at the source itself. That's always been a difficult task, and in our region, protecting water flowing across interstate boundaries presents a particular challenge due to local and state regulations.
Our Groundwater and Source Water Protection Workgroup, comprised of state and EPA staff, meets three times a year. These meetings provide a unique opportunity for the states to compare strategies and approaches and provide feedback to EPA on their initiatives. This collaboration helps forge a strong and productive working relationship between the states in our region as well as between the states and EPA.
Some of the main topics discussed in recent meetings and workshops have been aboveground storage tanks, groundwater impacts from stormwater infiltration, and road salt issues. Future discussions and trainings on these topics will provide the foundation for implementing improved source water protection measures throughout the region.
Please see the links below for more information on special resources and projects completed under this program. For more information, contact Monica Kacprzyk, the coordinator of our Ground Water and Source Water Protection Workgroup.
Source Water Protection for Municipalities
For tools you can use to take action in your community to protect drinking water sources in your water supply area, your watershed area, your community, and your backyard, please read the NEIWPCC booklet: Water Today…Water Tomorrow?: Protecting Drinking Water Sources in Your Community. This source water protection call-to-action was developed in 2004 and focuses on five key areas of vulnerability identified in New England state Source Water Assessments—inadequate local regulations and ordinances, underground storage tanks, onsite sewage disposal systems, hazardous materials storage, and stormwater runoff. It provides municipal officials with tools they can use to take action in their communities to protect drinking water sources, and it includes several short case examples from states and communities.
Northeast Regional Geothermal Workshop
NEIWPCC held a Northeast Regional Geothermal Workshop at the EPA New England Regional Laboratory in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts on March 29, 2011. The workshop included discussions and case studies which focused on the state of the geothermal industry, environmental and water resource protection concerns, design standards and recommendations, and existing and future regulations for geothermal systems. Attendees included state and federal staff from the region's environmental and health agencies, as well as several private industry representatives that deal with installation, design, approvals, regulations, etc., of geothermal systems.

40 project
I'm working on my first project car, it's 40 ford coupe. When I started
I already had a motor 326 pontiac, w/ a 400 trany just finished rebuilding it.
My question is do you know of any who has installed a pontiac motor in a ford, if so what was used for motor mount and exhaust manifolds, can any one point me in the right direction?
I have experiance with the 326 pontiac engine as I was , am a GTO nut . I will tell you that a 40 Ford and a 326 pontiac engine are the two most uncompatable things in the universe . For one thing , most 326 pontiac engines have only 1 set of mounting holes for the engine mounts , and the mounts you get for that engine are bastards . secondly I will bet your heads have only 4 exhaust bolt holes per head instead of the 6 later model pontiac engines have . This makes finding headders that seal a real ***** and if you have to use manifolds , and I bet you will , you need a set off a 64 or 65 pontiac catalina that turn straight down in the center of the engine . These manifold are a tight fit to the side of the 326 and you will need to srink that wide engine as much as possible unless you want to do serious cutting on the ford . If you get the 326 in the car , find a hei distributor off a later model 350 , 400 or 455 pontiac ,, by the way a 455 is exactly the same size as the 326 , if I put a pontiac engine in anything I would go for cubic inches as all pontiac v 8 engines share the same overall block external dimensions , I know this because valve covers , oil pans, heads intakes rods ect interchange , except the lowly 4.9 301 cubic inch ,, its a true bastard as nothing will interchange except oil pans and valve covers . Use a Holley 650 vacuum secondary spread bore replacement with a 4bbl q jet stock intake ,, this is interesting depending on the year model of your 326 , the engines changed slightly in 67 . Another thing you havent considered , the 400 turbo has a very heavy rotating mass for a 326 , a 350 turbo will do better behind that small cubic inch engine . The 400 works best behind high torque , high hp engines , the 350 works best behind smaller engines like the 326 . finally ,, my advice is , and you wont like it ,, get rid of the 326 , find a small ford or chevy engine that fits that hole better with more available accesories and mounting options ,, exhaust will be easier too . If you are intent on putting that 326 in that car , it will require patience and if you get it in , and im not saying you wont as I have seen a 455 in a chevette , you will have starter problems if you dont shield the solinoid from the exhaust heat . All Pontiac V8s suffer from this problem so plan on putting a solinoid heat shield on the started from the get go.
In replay to the man puting a Pontiac in a Ford First of all SHAME ON YOU It will never work properly because the mounting is off center of the engine to mount configuration this causes the engine to tourqe at a different place which places stress on the engine mount and if you brake this you are in big trouble the engine will move and take out the radator and the trany will jam causing the drive shaft to rase up and put a lump in your floor and if the drive shaft brakes it will wip everything out under the car. This is a very bad idea you will have better results if you put a 351 Cleavland engine in it will out run that Pontiac hands down in any run quarter or flying mile I have done this and been there.Take my advice and stick with a Ford engine.Afteral your set up is like puting salt on your ice cream.
If this is your first project car, you should learn as much as you can before you start spending money. Read the ads in Street Rodder magazine and send for catalogues. There are many companies selling parts and kits for your car. You'll find that there are more kits available for small block Chevy and Ford engine installations-which also means price competition. The December issue of Rod & Custom has an article on planning a car project. You'll be opening one can of worms after another upgrading the brakes, steering, suspension, wiring, rust and dent repair, etc.,etc. Try to find a local Street Rod club and join it(if there are several, join the one that's most active and fun). You'll not only be able to learn from the experiences of others, but their enthusiasm can be contagious later if yours wanes. Good luck.

Try: http://members.tripod.com/~grannys/listbyengine.html
this site has every engine swap known to man.
Good Luck
If this is your first project, I would recommend selling the Pontiac 326 and tranny and go with a small block Chevy and turbo 350. Sorry, that probably not what you wanted to hear but you will be dollars ahead. Almost every aftermarket street rod manufacture makes engine mounts and accessories for the small chevy in a street rod. It's actually a tight fit putting a small chev in a 40 Ford but actually a lot better than the Pontiac, when you consider brake lines, steering hook up and exhaust routing. It's really easy to say "Dare to be Different" and install the Pontiac, but the ones saying that are not paying paying your bills or busting their Knuckles. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT.

Hi, there. I have a lab mix who went into her first heat relatively early, so we kept her locked up in the mean time before we could get her fixed. Well, the golden retreiver from up the road is a resilient one and broke into our fence. I'm pretty upset about it, not about the potential puppies, but I really REALLY do not want this to cause health problems for her in the future. I recently lost my job and I don't believe I can foot an enormous amount of vet bills.
What are the signs of her being pregnant? August 10th was the approximate date of... impregnation. Her...(for lack of a better word) nipples are quite a bit larger, and her breasts are starting to get some size to them. Her belly doesn't look much larger, and she's a relatively thin dog. Could these things be signs of her heat? Or is she knocked up?
What can I do on my own if she is pregnant? I definitely do not have the funds to cart momma and her babies to the vet a bunch of times. I already have people interested in the puppies, who have committed to providing them with their shots and the whole 9 yards. (providing that she IS pregnant) but I'm mostly concerned with my dog's (Luna) well being.
So please, tell me what I need to do. (besides getting my bitch fixed asap)
Thank you guys.

Perspective: Do kiddie pageants border on child abuse?
There are 30 comments on the St. Augustine Record story from Mar 14, 2009, titled Perspective: Do kiddie pageants border on child abuse?. In it, St. Augustine Record reports that:Barbie just celebrated her 50th birthday, and still the debate rages on among concerned moms: harmless doll or body-image bruiser? Barbie's one thing, but I can't imagine why there's any debate over glitzy ...

Just watched Little Miss Perfect on one of the local cable stations. This is my opinion and people will disagree, but these parents need to be accused of child abuse! Hearing the mothers talk so condescendingly to their little girls one minute so they will get on the stage and look like a little made up adult is positively sickening! I wonder if these little girls are as happy as their mothers seem to believe they are. Confused would be the term I would use, for a kid who is mainly used to be something the mother never was, for money and a trophy. They are drug all over, groomed like show animals, in fact, even talked to like people who get show animals to behave on stage! How do these kids ever have a normal relationship with their mother? Social Services ought to look into this inhumane treatment of little girls and see what they think and interview the little girls without the mothers around. It might be pretty shocking!
#2 Apr 2, 2009
Absolutely, it is child abuse. No doubt about it. The child has absolutely no rights at all.
United States
#3 Apr 2, 2009
Child beauty pageants are a business, not an activity that encourages children to grow, learn and develop. They exist as a source of income for the people that promote them. Parents use their children like pawns in them. JonBenet didnt win any pageants because she was better looking than another child. Patsy and the money she expended on the pageants caught the judges eye. The biggest prize is scholarship money and for some girls if thats all they have it may be a blessing but for JonBenet the last thing she would have needed was to be crowned Miss America. Poor JonBenet didnt just have her mom, it was also her grandmother and aunt that pushed her until she broke.
I dont know if the pageants themselves can be called abuse but Patsy Ramsey sure as hell abused JonBenet every 6 weeks or do to maintain her blond hair. I cant figure the people that claim there was no history of abuse when there are hundreds of pictures right under their noses. It is blatant. It would have been emotionally and physically painful for JonBenet to sit and have the chemicals put on her head. It took away from time she should have been doing things kids do, building with constructive toys, imagining she was a bunny rabbit, or coloring a picture of springtime. Those are the things little children learn from. Not sitting on a toilet while your mom painfully turns your hair and personality into an artificial presentation.
That is a an avenue the investigation should surely follow.

I concur.

The pageants are very different from little league or organized sports such as gymnastics because of the overt and necessary parental involvment. It is a competetion among the adults and has nothing to do with the kids. The parents could just as well each be given a dead cat and seen how much fancier one could dress it or make it smell better than the others.
The children are just objects in the game, and open to abuse.
JonBenet was ritually abused every six weeks or so to maintain her blond hair for the pageants. A mother that would do that would be capable of far worse.
#6 Apr 3, 2009
You are right Jahazafat
Those ridiculous posters who just love to jump on the little league, gymnastics, etc. have found a handy, dandy comeback for the abuse of children in pageants, who probably only voice these opinions to defend the Ramseys and in private, likely condemn the parents who participate in the over the top pageants as Patsy did.
Yes, there are parents in little league, etc. who go too far and live through their children, but the pageants are a legal and unfortunately, acceptable form of abuse; no regulations, no control, no oversight. It's a black eye for those who sponsor these child "pornish" events for the fees that these mothers, etc. gladly sacrifice the rest of their families needs to pay.
Their daughters MUST win AT ALL COST
Child abuse, plain and simple
United States
#7 Apr 3, 2009
Yeppers Cap, if their daughter's win they win, the mothers are pageant princesses and queens too. If their daughters lose they are the red haired step children.
I have read of parents soliciting 'private' donations to sponsor their kids in pageants when they can't afford to pay. There's an online link where you can donate.
The kids that were competeting with JonBenet are coming onto their own now. Those are the kids that should be speaking and should be checked by mental health professionals. I wonder how screwed up they are? What's become of the seamstress' daughter, Pam Griffin and Kristine?
#8 Apr 3, 2009
If you make your children wash their hands, that's child abuse.
If you make your children go to school, that's child abuse.
If you make your children take piano lessons, that's child abuse.
If your children want to drink bleach and you don't let them, that's child abuse.
If your children want to scream and cry in public and you don't let them, that's child abuse.
etc. etc. etc.
#9 Apr 3, 2009
What a stupid response Shill. Is that the best you can do for comparison to PAGEANTS??? Seems so
Here's some more:
If you make your children dye their hair, cap their teeth and dress like a harlot AT SIX YEARS OLD...IT'S CHILD ABUSE
If a six year old WHO CAN'T EVEN READ is taking dance lessons, FRENCH LESSONS (wtf?), photo shoots, hair and make up "sessions", costume fittings, etc. and obviously doesn't have time to be a six year old ...IT'S CHILD ABUSE!
if your children scream and cry while working in the pageants and the parents DON'T withdraw them and take them home.....IT'S CHILD ABUSE
If your sister and mother DEMAND that your child WILL BE MISS AMERICA (compliments of Nedra)...IT'S CHILD ABUSE
And lastly:
If your child has chronic vaginal injuries "over time" like the EXPERTS claim, it translates into being SEXUALLY ABUSED.....THAT'S CHILD ABUSE AT IT'S FINEST!!!!!
Grow a brain!
#10 Apr 3, 2009
Ya, you're brilliant, you list one form of child abuse over and over, beauty pageants, and I'm the one who can't come up with any comparisons.
Try that is your opinion that equates to what can be a never ending list of what someone might consider child abuse, and yet there are no laws or punishment for it.
If you had half a brain, you would have realized now in America (that country where you claim to have the freedom to judge people before proven guilty), if a parent hits their child, the child can call the cops and they will get arrested and go to jail, it's the law.
Now please show me the child abuse laws pertaining to child beauty pageants if it's child abuse.
Do you really think your sh*t doesn't stink, because I can smell you from the other side of the country?
United States
#11 Apr 3, 2009
Patsy ritually abused JonBenet by bleaching her hair every six weeks or so. With the blessing and encouragement from her sister and mother no less. Nedra had nothing but her claim as sending two daughters to Miss America. To send JonBenet to Miss America was to be her crowning glory. Patsy was willing to sacrifice JonBenet for her mother's benefit.
There aren't warnings labels against using hair coloring kits on children because the companies don't figure parents would be so assinine enough to use them. The caps are adult size and any product testing has been on adults. Same reason there aern't warning labels on thumbtacks against adding them to spaghettios.
Patsy was a freaking nutcase but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt considering the potential mental and emotional side effects of her experimental cancer treatments and chemotherapy. She was likely being given hormones and drugs that made PMS a stroll down a country lane.
#12 Apr 3, 2009
Sounds like "Shill" is a pageant mom! People need to show common sense when raising kids. I know, lots of parents don't and kiddie beauty pageants is one area where they don't. These little girls are coercised into telling people how much they like doing the pageants, but no one actually gets the child's point of view when they are being drug from city to city, made up and dressed like trashy women, "shown" on stage like you see at the dog shows, hair dyed, teased, etc. The mothers for the most part, and I'm not saying all of them are this way, but the majority of the moms are nagging at the little girl about her routine, her smile, her performance on stage. When does this child ever get to just be herself? Kids need discipline but they also need to be allowed to be themselves, which, you can't convince me that these little beauty queens ever are. It's disgusting! Oh, by the way, I raised 5 kids. Not one of them ever threatened to call the law on me for being disciplined. They are all professional people!
These moms sure aren't thinking about the emotional and psychological harm they are doing do these little girls!
#14 Apr 3, 2009
A child can also be verbally abused but no one can be arrested for it. Does that mean it's ok to tell your kid that they are ugly, stupid and worthless? Do you think a child isn't damaged by verbal abuse just because "there's no law against it?" Child abuse isn't limited to physical abuse.
I don't think the child beauty pageants are "abusive" but they are exploitive and I don't think they are healthy. They send the message to little girls that they have to be pretty or they are nothing. Women and girls have enough issues with body image as it is. Why would anyone want to "teach" a little girl that she has to be "perfect" or beautiful to be valued? Dying a kids hair, using tan in a can (or worse, letting them use tanning beds) and capping their teeth is as good as telling them that they aren't pretty enough or good enough the way that they are.
Why should a 6 year old even have to THINK or worry about what they look like?
#15 Apr 3, 2009
So do I...as should anyone.
#16 Apr 3, 2009
I agree that the pageants are different than little league or gymnastics but even, here, there is abuse. If the child loves the sport, etc., then it's okay. But I've seen parents push these things on kids just so they can live through them....
I remember one of my son's friends in school. He was a basketball player and had to play from grade school on all summer long. He had a younger sister who the parents started playing basketball. When he graduated from High School, he pulled his younger sister aside and said: "If I were you, I'd get out of basketball and spend your time doing things that I never had time to do." So, if the kids enjoy it, that's one thing...if they're driven then that's another.

It appears JB liked the pageants and even performed in a mall before Christmas, without a pageant being held.
Hey Mikey, she likes it.
#19 Apr 4, 2009
Sometimes you just pretend when you know you are powerless to do anything else.
#20 Apr 21, 2009
No doubt if JonBenet had ever grown up, she would most likely be like right wing bimbo Miss California. It's not progressive parents who pimp out their kids in these things, it's right wing women and bible thumpers like Patsy Ramsey, dressing her six year old up like a hooker, to get the competitive edge and do anything to win. I LOVE the irony of this: This alludes to this COLOSSAL right wing hypocrite Miss California letting her GAY pageant director pay for her non-biblically correct breast implants:
Her very own state pageant director, KEITH LEWIS is an openly gay man who has been a very generous benefactor of hers...in many ways.(2 ways in particular....if you get my drift??)

Hello everyone,
I agree. These pagents for children are a bit over the top... So sorry but all of this brings to mind little Jon Benet...A tragedy....Parents definitely need to cool it down here. I think its just too much for a child to go through at such a young age...No one out there is putting a stop to this. Very sad.

Draw upon your creativity
I became fixated with chalkboards at an early age, when a neighbor gave me a chalkboard easel her children had outgrown. With that dusty board, all I had to do was add a swirl of imagination and my bedroom was transformed into a schoolhouse, a fashion designer's studio or, my favorite, a grocery store. (Mom was very tolerant when I raided the pantry to fill my room with canned goods.)
My sparkling memories came flooding back to me when I was saw the chalkboard accents at the Atlanta home furnishings market. After too many years apart, my creativity and the chalkboard were reunited. We've woven them into seasonal d←cor. Want to play in the chalk, too? Here are fun ideas to inspire you:
Chalkboard tabletops
My favorite takeaway from the Atlanta market? Chalkboard paper. I went berserk over this launch pad for creativity and ordered 1,000 rolls. It's fun coming up with ways to use this unique paper.
• Set a Thanksgiving table you can truly give thanks over.
The lovable mob of friends and family we annually entertain for this feast includes some creative children. Oh, man, are they going to have fun! The paper roll is wide enough to serve as a table runner.
Arm yourself with the chalk that comes with the roll. Or, if you don't want your creation to smear or rub off on your clothes, get some chalk paint in fun colors.
• Draw placemats.
• Instead of using name cards, write each guest's name by his or her place (or do a caricature, if you're really artsy).
• Fill in the margins with fun doodles.
• Draw in some games — such as Hangman or Tick-Tack-Toe — to entertain guests while they wait for the food.
• Create a whimsical table for the holidays.
My holiday table will celebrate cheery seasonal candies. The centerpiece will include a host of silver teapots holding bouquets of large lollipops.
The chalkboard paper magic can extend far beyond the holidays. Planning a wine and cheese tasting? Roll out the paper, place your bottles on top, then use the chalk to label each selection. Or, lay out the chalk and ask guests to write in their rating and comments about each bottle. Hosting a dessert party? Draw fancy doilies around each dessert server, then label each selection.
• Taking some little ones out to dinner? Cut the chalkboard paper into placemat sizes and take it along, letting the kids decorate them while they wait.
• Like to wrap beautiful gifts for birthdays or holidays? Make the wrapping paper as personal — and special — as the gift inside.
• Have a teen who wants to personalize her room? Cover her door with chalkboard paper and let her and her friends go to town, writing their names, gluing on photos from magazines, you name it.
Chalkboard table accents
When we have big groups over, we have a dickens of a time keeping everyone's drink glasses straight. Guests set down their drinks and forget which one is theirs. That's why I jumped at the chance to get these adorable chalkboard mugs.
I love the nostalgic Mason jar look. When your guests arrive, write their names on the glasses. Send the glasses home as a gift.
Little chalkboard decor
I have used a chalkboard, encased in a wooden frame and with a wooden handle, on my kitchen table. Such boards can be used instead of name cards, decorated with each guest's name. Let guests take them home as a gift.
I used the same chalkboard as a tray to hold goodies on the place setting. Cover it with a glass cloche to finish off the look. I also love the larger paddle-shaped boards used as chargers for place settings or as trays for tabletop displays.
Here are some more fun ideas for chalkboards:
• Hosting a birthday party? Write a special message to the guest of honor and hang the chalkboard from the front door.
• For a wine-and-cheese tasting, write the name of each wine selection on a little chalkboard and place it beside the bottle. We also have little chalkboards with twine hangers, which would be perfect hung from the neck of a wine bottle.
• Mix a larger, framed chalkboard in with other art on your mantel for an intriguing, layered look.
• Write your favorite poem or saying on a larger framed chalkboard, then hang it from your front door or above your mantel.

People who read blogs like this one are often people like me. I like to live inside my head, so much so that there are days, (especially when I'm writing a book), that I never leave my chair. On such days, when my imagination is running wild, and I'm using the building blocks of letters, words, phrases, to create something, I don't even notice my inactivity. "It's good to think!" I tell myself, as I move from desk to kitchen, back to desk, back to kitchen, before finally, late at night, making the long trek to the bed.
That's fine; for a day, maybe two. But what happens when a rich mind leads to an impoverished body, because I'm forever too busy thinking to move, and challenge my lunges and muscles with a little exercise. What happens when the life of the spirit becomes ALL of life, so that prayer, Bible reading, and all those church activities, most of which entail either sitting or eating, come to so occupy our days that our bodies begin to wither? What is happens is that we declare, by our priorities, that stewardship of the body is unimportant. There's a subset of highly spiritualized Christians whose specialty is defending the humanity of Jesus and battling the gnosticism of early church. They rage against the dangers of Platonic dualism while never leaving their chair to get a little exercise, or enjoy a sunrise. Seeing the dangers of the past with 20/20 clarity, they're ironically blind to the gnostic dualism hiding in their own skin.
If you're going to say that "The Word became flesh" this coming advent season, I have a suggestion: honor your own flesh, by getting a little exercise. I certainly understand the dangers of exercise obsession and addiction, but it's probably not the main problem of people who read this blog, so let me suggest why you should move fast and lift heavy stuff, at least twice a week:
1. Your body is the means through which you express Christ. Your message is embodied, it comes through your smile, your handshake, your joy. While it's surely true that good people wracked with cancer are able to express timeless joy through broken bodies, I believe that privilege isn't as available to those whose bodies are broken by benign neglect. We're image bearers, and the life of Christ will surely be seen more clearly if we're taking care of ourselves through food, exercise, and sleep.
2. There's joy and marvel in pushing one's body to capacity. I use the workout of the day app on my phone as a starting point. I'll confess that I don't do them every day, and that when I do them, I sometimes scale back from the full amount, downsizing it to my capabilities. Still, my two or three times a week of doing these challenging workouts leaves me mentally and physically restored, and keeps me in enough shape to pull of the occasional rock climbing outing, and weekends of upcoming skiing. No gym required, as this app uses only your body weight for your workout.
3. Exercise enhances sleep and relieves stress.
4. You are an ecological system. Body, Soul, and Spirit are, all three, interwoven. Neglect one, and the other two will suffer. Worship one, and you'll ignore the other two. No, this will never do. All are needed, like three legs of a stool.
My favorite workout at home is simple:
4 sets of:
20 box jumps, from the landing of my attic stairs to my prayer shelf
10 pull ups on the climbing wall that is in my office
10 sit ups, sometimes more.
You don't need a climbing wall…push-ups will do just fine. You don't need a prayer shelf. Jumping from the floor to the 2nd or 3rd stair will do. But you do, for the sake of your faith, need to move.
I've come to see that the barrier to caring for my body isn't that I can't afford a gym membership, or that I don't have time. It's that I need to repent of my functional gnosticism, and fully embody the gospel. See you….outside?
