Why This Former GOP Senator Wants Obama Ousted from Office and Thinks Biden Would Do a 'Much Better' Job
November 19, 2013 at 11:51pm
We've just received the call we have been anticipating for a long period of time. Hang on to your seats ladies and gentlemen for it looks as if the global currency reset has just been given the green light. All of our debt accumulated from the wars will officially be paid off within a 24 hour period and President George W. Bush's legacy is about to do a complete 180 degree turn. As our friend Glenn said, "the world as we know it is about to change." It is looking as if it could happen any moment between now and Thanksgiving. To be on the safe side and to protect your family and friends I urge you to go into the bank tomorrow and pull out enough actual cash to sustain all of your expenses for a minimum of 30 days. We will report back soon with more details. We want all Blaze readers to be aware of what is transpiring because we are all a part of a special community and deserve to be put into a position to help/assist others.

Bill Maher Tears to Shreds Christians, Conservatives Who He Says Tell the Needy (and Wait Staff) to 'F**k Off and Die'
November 9, 2013 at 9:34pm
In reply to kickagrandma.
This is another classic case of creating a "straw man" antagonist. Barbermongers such as William Maher grasp onto mythological figures more elusive than Hecatonchires to perpetuate false stereotypes. Where is this mysterious "pastor" who writes such things on the receipt of this supposed "homosexual" waiter? I find it intriguing that in a nation with just over 260 million Christians this folklore of such "evil" & "selfish" Christians always seems to fall short in identifying any specific culprit.
""Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke." ~ Benjamin Disraeli
I will part with one final observation. Since my freshman year of high school I have been involved in several charities & have volunteered much time and given much wherewithal in the quest of helping those in need. Throughout the years both myself, as well as my associates, have noticed something conspicuously absent from such affairs………..progressives. Working with thousands of wonderful individuals throughout the years we have remarked that none of us have actually come in contact with a progressive at any volunteer assignment or charity that was charged with assisting those in need. Certainly many conservatives, thousands of Christians, yet we cannot recall speaking with a single liberal nor viewing a "yes we can" logo gracing any t-shirt or bumper. No, they are all in their dorms, complaining, watching Jersey Shore, and trolling conservative sites. Again, just an observation to
Like other truly talented phonies, Barack Obama concentrates his skills on the effect of his words on other people — most of whom do not have the time to become knowledgeable about the things he is talking about. Whether what he says bears any relationship to the facts is politically irrelevant. A talented con man, or a slick politician, does not waste his time trying to convince knowledgeable skeptics. His job is to keep the true believers believing. He is not going to convince the others anyway. Back during Barack Obama's first year in office, he kept repeating, with great apparent earnestness, that there were "shovel-ready" projects that would quickly provide many much-needed jobs, if only his spending plans were approved by Congress. He seemed very convincing — if you didn't know how long it can take for any construction project to get started, after going through a bureaucratic maze of environmental impact studies, zoning commission rulings and other procedures that can delay even the smallest and simplest project for years. Only about a year or so after his big spending programs were approved by Congress, Barack Obama himself laughed at how slowly everything was going on his supposedly "shovel-ready" projects. One wonders how he will laugh when all his golden promises about ObamaCare turn out to be false and a medical disaster. Or when his foreign policy fiascoes in the Middle East are climaxed by a nuclear Iran.
Carbon Tax Appears To Backfire in a Big Way in Australia

Last summer we spent some time in Italy & were rudely awakened to their smart meter program that has engulfed that country. The experience was foreshadowing what is to come in the United States over the next few years. To give everyone an idea of what it is like to deal with smart meters may I provide a few illustrations of what we encountered:
* During peak high temperature periods the government would automatically raise the temperature (cut the air conditioning) in your residence if you were running more than the permitted amount of appliances. When we would run the dryer/dishwasher along with any other appliance the air conditioning would raise itself automatically without alerting anyone.
* Upon moving into any new apartment or home you must register your appliances with the government including the energy requirements of each specific appliance. In some cases the appliance information must be faxed/mailed to a government office for verification. If the paperwork does not arrive within 30 days of initial occupancy the inspector is dispatched to your residence (one in which you are later billed for – approximately €150)
Basically all of your appliances "communicate" with one another. The smart meter is in constant contact with the government grid. The power plant will "ask you to help" when it is running low on electrons. The system can also remotely turn your power on or off (lights included). This program was in our 2009 stimulus package –
Comparing Crowds: Who Drew More People to the Lincoln Memorial, Obama or Beck?
August 29, 2013 at 12:41pm
In reply to autofixer.
According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 31 percent of blacks think that most blacks are racists, while 24 percent of blacks think that most whites are racist. The difference between these percentages is not great, but it is remarkable nevertheless. After all, generations of blacks fought the white racism from which they suffered for so long. If many blacks themselves now think that most other blacks are racist, that is startling. The moral claims advanced by generations of black leaders — claims that eventually touched the conscience of the nation and turned the tide toward civil rights for all — have now been cheapened by today's generation of black "leaders," who act as if it is all just a matter of whose ox is gored. Even in legal cases involving terrible crimes — the O.J. Simpson murder trial or the charges of gang rape against Duke University students — many black "leaders" and their followers have not waited for facts about who was guilty and who was not, but have immediately taken sides, based on who was black and who was white. Among whites, according to the same Rasmussen poll, 38 percent consider most blacks racist and 10 percent consider most whites racist. Broken down by politics, the same poll showed that 49 percent of Republicans consider most blacks racist, as do 36 percent of independents and 29 percent of Democrats. Perhaps most disturbing of all, just 29 percent of Americans as a whole think race relations are getting better…..Watch C.L.Bry
CNN Guest Asks 'For What Reason' Should Only Black GOP Senator Have Been Invited to Speak at MLK Event

In reply to Snowleopard {gallery of cat folks}.
The civil rights movement in 20th century U.S. attracted many people who put everything on the line for the sake of fighting against racial oppression. But the eventual success of that movement attracted opportunists, & even turned some idealists into opportunists. Over generations, black leaders have ranged from noble souls to shameless charlatans. After the success of the civil rights insurgency, the latter have come into their own, gaining money, power & fame promoting racial attitudes & actions counterproductive to the interests of those they lead. None of this is unique to blacks or to the U.S. In various countries & times, leaders of groups that lagged behind, economically & educationally, have taught their followers to blame all their problems on other people & to hate those other people. This was the history of anti-Semitic movements in Europe between the World Wars, anti-Ibo movements in Nigeria in the 1960s, & anti-Tamil movements that turned Sri Lanka from a peaceful nation into a scene of lethal mob violence and then decades-long civil war, both marked by unspeakable atrocities. Groups that rose from poverty to prosperity seldom did so by having racial or ethnic leaders. Most Americans can easily name a number of black leaders, how many can name Asian ethnic leaders? The time is long overdue to stop looking for progress through racial/ethnic leaders. Such leaders have too many incentives to promote polarizing attitudes counterproductive for minorities………
'Evolution vs. God' Filmmaker Responds to Atheists' Calls for Unedited Footage and Delivers a Stinging Message to Richard Dawkins
August 29, 2013 at 12:30pm
Radiohalos are rings of color formed around microscopic bits of radioactive minerals in rock crystals. They are fossil evidence of radioactive decay. "Squashed" Polonium-210 radiohalos indicate that Jurassic, Triassic, & Eocene formations in the Colorado plateau were deposited within months of one another, not hundreds of millions of years apart as required by the conventional time . "Orphan" Polonium-218 radiohalos, having no evidence of their mother elements, imply either instant creation
or drastic changes in radioactivity decay rates.@Applebee
All naturally-occurring families of radioactive elements generate helium as they decay. If such decay took place for billions of years, as alleged by evolutionists, much helium should have found its way into the earth's atmosphere. The rate of loss of helium from the atmosphere into space is calculable & small. Taking that loss into account, the atmosphere today has only 0.05% of the amount of helium it would have amassed in 5 billion years. This means the atmosphere is much younger than the alleged evolutionary age.
Excellent observations. According to evolutionists, stone age man existed for 100,000 years before beginning to make written records about 4000 to 5000 years ago. Prehistoric man built megalithic monuments, made beautiful cave paintings, and kept records of lunar phases. Why would he wait a thousand centuries before using the same skills to record history?

'Million Muslim March' to Be Held on 9/11 Anniversary – and the Group Behind It Is Just as Radical as You'd Expect
August 15, 2013 at 8:25pm
In reply to Stelex.
This would actually be a terrific opportunity for the DHS to separate the "who is who" in the Muslim community. Any Islamist that marches on the day of the worst terrorist attack in America's history should immediately identified & deported. Ultimately, we should ban all Sunni and Shiite Muslims from the country & welcome with open arms the Sufi Muslims. It could be akin to deporting all of the Nazis and welcoming Germans with open arms. That is a win/win because then it is about terrorism, not culture. Sufi Muslims, on the other hand, are a contemplative school of Islam that aims to develop an individual's consciousness of God though chanting, recitation of litanies, music and physical movement. Practitioners belong to different tariqa, or orders, that are described as "sober" — restrained in religious practice — or "drunk," open to achieving religious ecstasy. For Sufis, what's important is approaching the inner meaning of God through mysticism. They try to reach an understanding of the hidden meanings of the world, (closer to Buddhism than Islam) They tend to be less wedded to an orthodox reading of the Quran. As a consequence, they have an open relationship with other religions.
'Were Dinosaurs Dragons?': Creationist, Bible-Based Museum Wants to Attract a Wider Audience

In reply to Stay-calm-and-Pray-on.
In truth, Evolution wasn't "scientific." It was a theory. Dr.Kent Hovind- and authority on evolution had a standing offer for years of $250,000 for anyone who could give him scientific evidence that evolution was true. Evolutionists should have taken him to court. They could have become famous. They could've made this another "Scopes" trial, but they didn't, because they couldn't. Instead, they gathered forces to silence & remove him by petitioning the gov/aclu to imprison him over 501c church "tax violations." (They've begun to attempt the same thing with Ray Comfort now). All they have is faith in a theory. In fact, evolution qualifies as a religion. The dictionary says of the word "religion": "A set of beliefs concerned with explaining the origins and purposes of the universe." Evolutionists even have their own religious language: "We believe, perhaps, maybe, probably, could've, possibly…." Their founding father of faith is Charles Darwin. Their god of the religion of evolution is "Mother Nature." She is the one who is responsible for everything we can see in creation. What's more, she's very attractive to lust-filled men. They gravitate to her like a moth to a flame. That's because she's deaf, blind, and mute. She doesn't hear-see-or, most importantly, SAY anything. Mother Nature doesn't have any moral dictates. That's why evolution is so appealing. It is called "idolatry" (making up a false god) and is a transgress
'Dr. Doom' Predicts: Get Ready for a 1987-Style Crash
August 10, 2013 at 1:36am
In reply to BlackCrow.
Eventually the reset will transpire, however the prediction in this article is not accurate in my opinion. Could the Dow Jones Industrial Average instead hit 20,000 within 18 months? Yes. In fact, I am going to go out on a limb and say that we will see the market top 20K before 2015. One reason is because the Federal Reserve's second & third rounds of quantitative easing have not really started yet. Federal stimulus takes eighteen to twenty months before just one dollar of it means something to the economy. Another reason I see the Dow at 20,000 is because of the multiplier effect from the stimulus. I believe the last $600 billion will turn into $3 trillion because dollars will get spent over and over again. It is liken to when you buy that coffee with $1 at the local deli, what does the deli guy do with it? He buys a newspaper. And then that guy buys a donut. The multiplier affect is up to 10X. A fourth reason is that non-financial companies are hoarding cash to the tune of about $2 trillion. They don't want to get caught in another financial crisis, and so they're holding on to their money. And many of those companies are spending it. Share buybacks are at their highest levels in history
Analysts expect S&P 500 earnings to come in at $95 this year. What if (as usual) they are too conservative and the number comes in at $100. Slap in a 20x multiple (could happen when the fed stimulus kicks in), and we have an S&P 500 over 2,000 and a Dow probably at 20,000

An Australian father placed an add in the paper offering up 50 cartons of beer in exchange for anyone who would hire his 19 year old son for an electrician apprenticeship.
The ad read as follows:
""Free beer – one year's supply. Fifty cartons in exchange for electrical apprenticeship for my 19-year-old son. Local, hardworking, reliable, desperate, not a quitter."
Unfortunately the ad failed to return a single job offer during its original airing. It wasn't till a local paper ran a piece on the ad that people began to take notice and job offers started rolling in. "I've actually had people ring up and offer me jobs in marketing which I of course declined," Said the father.

LHS needs senior project judges
Rose said she needs about 160 judges, which averages out to 40 to 50 a night. Judges are needed for a variety of subjects including medical, music, cosmetology, law enforcement, construction, pharmacy, poetry and writing, cheerleading and interior design.
Students will be giving a six-to 10-minute speech about their project, addressing all the elements on an evaluation form.
A student's speech should have an effective attention grabber, a clear thesis, explain the connection between the project and the paper, clearly state what they learned while doing the project and have an effective conclusion.
The judges do not tell the students if they passed or failed, but do have an opportunity to give feedback.
Students work on projects and papers during their freshmen, sophomore and junior years, and Rose said the senior project is the culminating activity of their education.
In order for students to pass the senior English requirement and graduate from LHS, they must pass the four components of the senior project.
The four components are: paper, project, portfolio and presentation.
Students choose a topic of interest, which can range from the medical field to teaching, develop a proposal, find a mentor knowledgeable in the field on which the student is doing the project, and put together a portfolio.
When students complete a senior project they should be able to be lifelong learners and problem-solvers and be able to exhibit skills represented by Lassen High School's Expected Schoolwide Learning Results.
Students must spend a minimum of 15 hours on their project. Rose said 7.5 of those hours are to be spent directly with the mentor and the other 7.5 are to be spent under the supervision of the mentor.
After completing a presentation, Rose said some of the students have been offered jobs by some of the judges.

USC and Los Angeles PL Vie for Newspaper "Morgue." (University of Southern California, Los Angeles Public Library) (Los Angeles Herald Examiner Morgue)
McCormick, Edith, American Libraries
USC and Los Angeles PL vie for newspaper "morgue"
At the once-meeting offices of the now-defunt Los Angeles Herald Examiner, dust has settled on some 150 battered file cabinets. The files are filled with stiff brown envelopes containing the once-great Hearst newspaper's valuable "clips and pix."
Librarians at both the University of Southern California and Los Angeles Public Library hope to obtain the unique reference materials.
According to an Oct. 1 story in the Los Angeles Times, the Herald Examiner's chief operating executive John J. McCabe has said only that officials plan to give " a non-profit institution" the irreplaceable collection of 2.1 million photographs, 2.6 million clippings, 43,080 negatives, plus thousands more reference books and microfilm reels. Though the paper's farewell edition bears a Nov. 2, 1989 dateline, the Hearst Corp.'s New York office reports no recipient has yet been chosen.
Jane Nowak, manager of the Los Angeles Public Library's History and Genealogy Department, told AL LAPL hoped to use the clippings morgue to create a computer based index to the Herald Examiner. "Los Angeles is handicapped. There is no index for any major L.A. newspaper between 1945 and 1972, for example," she said. She …

Demi Moore Spotted Partying, Flirting Days Prior to Hospitalization
by Hilton Hater at .What, exactly, happened to Demi Moore last night, when she was hospitalized for what most reports are classifying as a substance abuse issue, but which the actress' rep chalks up to "exhaustion?"
It remains unclear. But friends have been concerned over Moore's dwindling body weight for weeks, and People Magazine now cites a party on January 11 during which Demi allegedly exhibited strange behavior.
The event in question took place at The Roosevelt Hotel, where an onlooker says Moore was merely sipping Red Bull, but started to get into "party mode" soon after arriving. Especially in the presence of young actor Ryan Rottman, 27.
"She found ways to touch him all night, and at one point when he was in front of her, she was grinding on his butt," said the witness, adding that Rottman's "shirt came unbuttoned, and she started tickling his bare chest playfully."
Rumer Willis stuck by her mother's side for most of the evening, this story reads, and was also spotted this morning outside the hospital in which Demi is currently being treated.
She was pacing, smoking and looking generally distraught. It's not hard to understand why.

DETROIT (AP) — Ford is moving production of a small engine from Spain to Cleveland as sales of four-cylinder motors rise.
Later this week, Ford will announce a $200 million investment at its factory in Brook Park, Ohio, so it can make the four-cylinder, 2-Liter "EcoBoost" engine, according to a person briefed on the matter. The move will add about 450 jobs at the factory that now employs about 1,300 hourly and salaried workers.
The factory now makes two larger six-cylinder engines.
Ford and other carmakers are looking to four-cylinder turbocharged motors to help meet stricter U.S. fuel-economy rules. And as pump prices again surge toward $4 a gallon, the engines satisfy driver demand for better fuel economy. In the U.S., new vehicles will have to average 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.
Ford's 2-Liter EcoBoost engine now is manufactured in Valencia, Spain.

Many women ask if they can have it all. In her new book, "Skinnygirl Solutions: Your Straight-Up Guide to Home, Health, Family, Career, Style, and Sex," Bethenny Frankel says you can, just not all at once.
Frankel has been a Hollywood assistant, event planner, professional chef and reality TV star, making her experienced in many areas. She'll soon launch a national talk show and is a notable entrepreneur, with multimillion-dollar businesses from pre-made cocktails and nutritional foods to shapewear and workout equipment — all aimed at women. She knows exactly who her customers are, and attributes her success to understanding what women want and how to solve their problems.
The hundreds of fan questions Frankel receives via social media and personal appearances inspired many topics in the book. In the wellness chapters, she advises readers to dump the diets, focus on making good food choices and not deprive themselves. Refuting every excuse for not maintaining a healthy eating plan, she gets extremely specific, from what to order at a Chinese restaurant to the best snacks for premenstrual syndrome.
Frankel writes frankly about how women see their bodies and what head games they play when it comes to food and exercise. While she admits she's not a dietitian, her plan is reasonable and forgiving.
The lifestyle section promotes time management, keeping order at home, travel and entertaining. Many of the tips on vacation and party planning seem obvious, but may be aimed at younger fans with less life experience.
The chapters on work are beneficial for women interested in rejuvenating their careers or starting a business. Frankel tells fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about her business deals, showcasing successes and admitting failures.
The voice is classic Bethenny: candid, sassy and opinionated, punctuated with self-deprecating humor. She writes like she's talking to her girlfriends — unedited and not afraid to show a vulnerable side in the brief mentions of her painful divorce. With hundreds of self-help books, Frankel's connection with her fans sets this one apart. Her ability to tap into how women think and feel creates an intimacy with readers.
Critics are likely to point out the shameless marketing throughout the book, as Frankel sings the praises of seemingly every Skinnygirl product available. But that in itself is a lesson to never miss an opportunity at self-promotion.
"Skinnygirl Solutions" is written from the heart. Her pluck and unrelenting work ethic will inspire fans and will probably be responsible for a new generation of female entrepreneurs who are healthy, organized and impeccably dressed.

Featured Book Missing Ingredients by Drew Carpenter
High School.
Seems like such a long time gone...or yesterday. Time is a funny thing, isn't it? But I was thinking about school today, the people I knew, the people I didn't, and how our time in high school, though relatively short in duration when compared to the rest of our lives, has such lasting impact. I know this is something that everybody in the world has written about, there have been books, movies, etc, but what the hell, I may as well add my cent and a half.
My take on high school may be slightly skewed by the fact that I attended three. Yep, three. Nothing quite as fun as starting fresh for your senior year. Oh boy. In fact, between kindergarten and high school, I attended eight schools. Was this good for me? Of course. And of course not. Depends on the how of the question. I was (and remain) virtually rootless, though I'm trying to grow some now. I didn't have the close ties to long-term friends and community that most kids did, and I think this left me (and those like me) without the tethers that keep many people grounded. Of course, a tether can be an anchor, too, can't it?
It's true that, to this day, I'm not very social--my wife would call that a gross understatement--and it's true that I have practically no knowledge of friends or neighbors from my childhood, beyond just a few with whom I've recently become reacquainted. It's true that I could count the number of people I consider friends, real friends, on one hand, and those few discovered in adulthood, none from before. But I did leave my childhood resilient. I don't break. I don't quit. I'm not much of a follower. I go my own way. I can stand alone. Beyond my immediate family, I need little, I'm a happy island, and of course, like all the rest of this crap, that's good and bad; islands weather many a storm, but they do it alone.
So, high school.
Obviously, much of our adulthood, where we live, how we live, our financial and/or emotional prosperity depends on after high school--what we did, how we did it, our employment/education decisions--but today I'll just babble about high school and where it is in my head.
Much of our high school experience, and the flavor it leaves in our mouths, good or bad, begins at home, of course. My home-life was probably not typical, but neither was it too different from that of many of the peers that shared my rung on the social ladder. Unfortunately, my rung wasn't near the top of that ladder, or again, maybe that isn't so unfortunate, depends on outlook.
Anyway, my family didn't have much money, but we got by. Did I have cool clothes, a car, the family and/or financial clout that is often the ticket to upper-rung status? No, I didn't, but most of the time--not always, but most of the time--that didn't bother me. I had other things. I hunted. I fished. I loved the woods. I read a lot. I had a ten-year-younger brother I spent a lot of time with, and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Like many, I'm sure, my home-life at that time was rocky. My father worked out of town most of my childhood, coming home only on the weekends, and he and my mother, back then, really struggled in their marriage. Bitter arguments were not uncommon, tension hung thick in my house, and I can remember wishing they would divorce, just so I wouldn't hear it anymore. Still, they stuck it out, and I'm glad now that they did, but to this day I can't stand arguing in my home.
In my family, toughness was expected. No, maybe not expected. Demanded? Maybe not even that. It was just us. It was how we were. Not thuggish, bullying toughness, that wouldn't be tolerated, but mental and physical toughness, the ability to endure pain, discomfort, harsh conditions--these things were taken for granted, and I am thankful for those expectations, now. So, if I didn't always have the easiest home-life, I did have two parents who loved me, a roof over my head, food in my belly, and a strong mind--I was fortunate.
My Achilles heel was (and still is) my lack of social skills. I didn't mix well. I tried, or I think I did, and I could give the appearance of ease or relaxed interaction, a facade I'm sure I was not alone in presenting, but inside, inside I was still on the outside. Social status has a lot to do with our self-image in high school, and mine wasn't great. Doesn't faze me now, but in high school those who have definitely have an easier path than those who have not, don't you think? Comes back to the financial niche, the clothes, the looks, the athletic ability, or the family name, most often, and while that doesn't always seem fair to those who have not, it's as natural as natural can be. Just ask Darwin.
So I had a few friends I hung with in high school, a medium-rough crowd, I guess, mostly guys I knew from sports, maybe a touch redneck, but even with them I wasn't at the center of the friend-group, I was more on the edge. I often felt more like a spectator than a participant. I was a fringe person. And that's okay, because everything we experience shapes us, does it not, and while my life now is not perfect (what is perfect?), it is good, and I am happy.
Do I want my children to have the rootless, socially inept life-experiences I had? No, I guess I don't. I want them well adjusted. Socially confident. I want them to have roots, a sense of community, lots of friends, decent clothes, fun, and college. But now, almost thirty years after high school, would I change anything? At first thought, a lengthy list of changes come to mind, but upon deeper consideration, I guess I wouldn't change much. I am who I am. To change anything in my past might take me from where I am now, from my family, and I wouldn't want that. Though I have envied those with roots, I've also lived in many places, seen many things, met all kinds of people, and couldn't trade any of that for the permanence I envied.
Do I have fond memories from high school? Yes, some. My first love, a much better girl that I deserved, came early, and I spent the rest of high school missing her. There were some good teachers, but the one who affected me most was the one who liked me least, Mrs. Patterson from Seventy-First. Do I have less than fond memories? Sure, but again, I guess I wouldn't trade them away.
When I look back, I wonder less about the names and faces everybody knew than those more nameless, faceless folks like me. I wonder what happened to Seminole's "Slim" from New York City, my first black friend, who seemed to feel just about as out of place as I did. I wonder about Maryanne from Seventy-First. She had a strawberry birthmark on part of her face and neck, was cute as hell, and I had a crush on her my senior year. I think about Mrs. Carter from Sanford Christian, a tough old gal I liked a lot. I think about how self-conscious I was, but only in the last few years realized that most of us probably were, some only hid it better.
But I most often think about those few beleaguered souls, who, through no fault of their own, found themselves at the very bottom of the social pool, who looked, even then, intimidated by life and their fellows. They saw very little kindness, I'm afraid, and I hope that, more than anyone else, they did well and can look back at it all with a survivor's smirk. Those are the folks, I guess, that in looking back I admire most, because theirs was the toughest road to travel, and for the most part they did so with great courage.
So where does all this leave me? Hell if I know. Rambling, as usual, but pleasantly rambling, and at peace with myself, my few friends, my life, my past, and my quirks.
Best to you all.

A powerful earthquake struck southern Iran on Tuesday, killing at least 32 people but apparently sparing the nearby Bushehr nuclear plant from any damage, Iranian state media reported.
At least 850 people were injured, Reuters reported, citing Iranian media.
The magnitude-6.3 quake was centered about 100 kilometers (63 miles) southeast of the plant, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The government-run Press TV network, citing Bushehr's governor, said the single-reactor facility was undamaged. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported that Iran had informed it of the earthquake and said that there was no damage or radioactive release at the facility.
The state-run IRNA news agency cited a plant executive as saying the facility's distance from the epicenter was the reason for the lack of damage.
However, the quake "ruined" the city of Kaki, which is near the epicenter, the state-run IRNA news agency said.
The cities of Kormouj, Dayer and Kangan and the villages of Shanbe and Sana were also seriously damaged, IRNA reported. State media also reported landslides that had destroyed buildings and crowds gathering in towns seeking help, Reuters said.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society sent five assessment teams to coordinate rescue operations, IRNA reported, saying ambulances were sent from Tehran to assist in the rescue effort. The semi-official Fars news agency said helicopters also have been sent to help.
At least three strong aftershocks struck the same area in the hour after the quake Tuesday, according to the USGS, and Press TV said authorities expect the number of casualties to rise.
The earthquake could be felt across the Persian Gulf in Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, where some buildings in Abu Dhabi were evacuated and some businesses sent their employees home for the day.
It was not immediately clear whether the Bushehr plant was continuing to operate in the wake of the earthquake.
Iran began construction on the plant in 1975, before the country's Islamic revolution. Russia stepped in during the 1990s to finish construction of the plant, which the IAEA says first connected to Iran's electrical grid in 2011.
The damage that earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.0 to 6.9 can produce varies widely. Near the epicenter, quakes on the lower to middle parts of that range could leave negligible to slight damage in buildings of good design, and considerable to great damage -- such as broken or fallen walls -- in poorly designed structures, according to the USGS.

The body of a South Dakota teenager who drowned when she jumped into an icy river to save her 6-year-old brother has been recovered, an emergency official said yesterday.
Recovery crews pulled 16-year-old Madison Leigh Wallace's body from the Big Sioux River late on Friday, said Michael Koopman, a spokesman for the Sioux Falls Fire Rescue.Investigators think the girl jumped into the river when her younger brother, Garrett Martin Wallace, fell into the water on Thursday night.
The 6-year-old boy was able to get out and was not injured, Koopman said.Authorities still are searching for the body of Lyle Francis Eagletail, 28, a passer-by who jumped into the river to try to help the drowning teen and was swept away with her, Koopman said.

DALLAS (BP) -- In celebration of October's National Coming Out Day, mass same-sex "weddings" were held on the steps of the Texas capitol in Austin and at Founders' Plaza in downtown Dallas.
"Mass," though, may be a little too strong. Ten couples tied the knot at the Dallas event. An Austin news outlet reported "more than a dozen" same-sex "marriages" were performed there. This is not exactly a movement, maybe just a small protest. And, none of these "marriages" are legal. Texans amended their constitution in 2005 to define marriage as between one man and one woman.
We have to wonder, are there really masses of same-sex couples wishing they could legally marry in the 44 states where it's illegal? New census data sheds some light on the fact that the movement is more about somebody's agenda than it is about loads of people who want to commit themselves to lives of marital monogamy with someone of the same gender.
My colleague Kerby Anderson points out that, in August, it was announced that the 2010 census counted one million same-sex households. Then, the census bureau discovered an inconsistency and reduced that figure to 650,000 same-sex couples. It was also found that, of that number, only 131,729 couples were "married." The others were cohabiting. Same sex marriage is legal in six states and the District of Columbia. So, for 131,729 couples thus far, gay activists are attempting to change the definition of marriage.
And, now they're using the military to do it. The law prohibiting open homosexuals from serving in the military was repealed in the lame duck session of Congress late last year. It had to be done then, before a more conservative Congress convened, or it would not have happened. There were rumblings in the run-up to the Sept. 20 official repeal on Don't Ask, Don't Tell that the Pentagon might allow same-sex weddings on military bases in states where it's legal. So, the House passed legislation banning that and also passed a military Defense of Marriage Act, defining marriage the traditional way.
But 10 days after the military's official opening to full and open homosexual practice, the Pentagon issued two memos. One said that same-sex "marriages" may be conducted on military bases by military chaplains in states where such ceremonies would be legal. The other says military chaplains may also conduct same-sex weddings off base. This places chaplains and other personnel in the armed services in a bind as they stand for biblical truth in an increasingly PC military.
There probably won't be that many same sex weddings in the military. But this is part of this administration's attack on the Defense of Marriage Act. First, the Justice Department won't defend the law. Now, it's using our military as a way to leapfrog same sex "marriage" in front of public opinion. This must be stopped.

B+ A+F Local Atmosphere: There Are a Lot of Theme Parks – Theres sea world, wet n wild, disney, universal, fun spot action park, and a lot of tourist shops in orlando.
A A+F Facilities: Honors Program Creates Opportunities – Being in UCF's honors program opens doors for students in ways I didn't think were possible. Despite having plenty of students to keep up with, the staff at the Burnett Honors College give every student access to research and scholarship opportunities that other schools don't have.
B+ A+F Overall Experience: Good Times – UCF has been a great institution to me. Friendly faces all over campus including those of some of my best friends. Professors are accessible and provide plenty of opportunities to get to know them better in case you ever want to get into research or need a letter of recommendation. Campus activity is lively too. If you're looking for a good mix of fun and academia, UCF should definitely be high on the list of prospects.
A+ A+F Health & Safety: Since I first set foot on campus at UCF, I've never felt truly unsafe. There are plenty of emergency phones and campus security is willing to come to your location and escort you to your destination if you ever deem it to be necessary.
B A+F Scholarships: I have been waiting for a while for them to process my finacial aid and i get the run around so im doing what ever i need to do in person as much as possible.
A+ A+F Computers: Easy and Accessable – I have never had to wait for a computer while at school so I can defend the school saying that it is a very good at making sure computers are accessible.
A+ A+F Local Atmosphere: Great ! Orlando is a great area to go to school. there are many things to do in downtown orlando such as festivals and major events. they have the Amway center which is great if you love basketball. the best thing about this area is its proximity to the beach!shopping places are some of the best and there is a great variety for people with diffrent incomes.There is a lot of places that students can have fun with little money involved such as the public parks like jay blanchard park.i love this town.
B- A+F Drug Safety: Drinking Is More Popular – The drug scene at University of Central Florida is not really big. It all depends on who you hang out with. If people are doing drugs they're smoking. Drinking is a much more popular activity.
A+ A+F Diversity: You Will Find Everything You Look for – The University of Central Florida is a university of opportunity amongst the world. You will find students from every part of the world that share the same goal of getting an education. Not only will you see the variety, but you can experience every difference through the clubs that these individuals have developed in UCF. As one of the biggest universities in the country the diversity, challenges, and beliefs differ and are accepted as one big family.
A A+F Overall Experience: Beautiful School – UCF is a very new school. The buildings look new and are being built in an eco-friendly manner. The campus overall is gorgeous and everything is conveniently placed, so you don't have to walk far to get anywhere.
C- A+F Drug Safety: Easily Accessible – UCF does have very strict rules regarding drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, despite the rules and regulations, they are very easy to get and use.
A- A+F Parking: There is never a problem with places to park. For the most part it is very convenient for everyone.
A+ A+F Diversity: UCF tends to be very diverse and at the same time all ethnicities are accepted and there are rarely disputes between students
A- A+F Off-Campus Dining: The dining services available off campus are very convenient and very inexpensive (for the most part). They are usually open 24 hours and are a perfect setting for a college environment
C- A+F Guys & Girls: Not Much Happening – There is nothing exciting happening at UCF. The guys are nothing special to look at. They are friendly though but not very interesting.
B A+F Campus Strictness: Cops like to bust parties and break up underage drinking. But if your stealthy you can get away with it.
A- A+F Campus Dining: Marketplace Can Be Crowded During Certain Hours – There are plenty of places to choose to dine at on campus. If you buy a meal plan it gets quite crowded at certain hours
A- A+F Computers: Very Good Except for Network Connection – The only complaint I have is the ucf site can be very slow sometimes, and I cannot connect to wireless on campus if I bring a laptop. Library computers are packed like a slave ship year round
A A+F Weather: Overall, the weather in Orlando is great. During the winter months, the weather is temperate with highs of 70 and lows in the 50s. During the summer months on the other hand, it gets very very hot. The temperature rarely drops below 85 degrees regardless of the time of day and it usually rains in the afternoon. Needless to say, there are an abundance of pools in the area.
A A+F Nightlife: There is a vibrant nightlife at the University of Central Florida. There are bars, clubs, movie theaters, and outlet malls all within 5 mins of the UCF campus. The majority of undergraduates go out on friday and saturday nights to local bars. There are a plethora of 18+ clubs and bars that cater to the younger crowd of students which make UCF a great area to party and have fun. For the non-drinkers, Waterford lakes is conveniently located 2 miles south of the UCF campus and has a movie theater, bowling alley, a gym, and lots of restaurants and retail stores.
A+ A+F Facilities: Recreation and Wellness Center – I love the gym on campus. I have used it since freshman year and it is awesome. There is raquetball, basketball, tennis, free weights, machines, and much more. I go there in my free time just to hang out.
A A+F Off-Campus Dining: Orlando Eateries – At UCF you have the full resources of Orlando to feast on. There are tons of great spots to eat. My favorites are the little Chinese and Vietnamese cafes near mills and colonial. Worth the (5-6 mile) drive.
A+ A+F Parking: If you need to park during prime time (like noon) it will suck, come to school early. There is a really awesome free shuttle service that goes from 7am to 9pm (maybe) to school from like 10 of the student housing complexes off campus.
B+ A+F Campus Dining: Good Selection – Great selection at UCF: chinese, chick-fil-a, subway, kosher/hilal and smoothies to name a few. Of course its better to eat off campus: its cheaper!

UCF is growing by leaps and bounds. The students love to hang out, and they all know how to have a good time. There's so much to do and there's something for everyone. Do you really need any more reasons to go to college in Florida?
Orlando is an exciting city with tons of attractions and activities available to all. In many ways, going to school at UCF resembles a four-year vacation (Disney on Sunday, classes on Monday!). Downtown Orlando on a Friday night can, at times, seem like Mardi Gras, and City Walk on a Saturday night isn't to be missed. Also, Floridians are welcoming and friendly and most students at UCF make friends quickly and easily. Friendly faces and sunny skies, what more could a college student ask for? The stellar academics, up-and-coming sports teams, and state-of-the-art facilities are reason enough to spend the next four years of your life at UCF; the city of Orlando is just one big fringe benefit. Come join us!

In an interview with Interfax news agency, Shavarsh Kohcharyan commented on Azeri President Ilham Aliyev's statement suggesting "Azerbaijan will stop at nothing to regain its territory." "An attempt to defend blatant lies poses danger to regional stability, and Azerbaijani people as well. Lies won't help Azeri leadership avoid responsibility for aggression against Nagorno Karabakh Republic," Kocharyan said. Partner news Top stories Putin and Sargsyan attended the opening of the 3rd interregional forum "Armenia. Russia. Customs Union" in Gyumri. Azerbaijan fired over 1000 shots from various caliber weapons towards Karabakh positions, NKR defense army's press service said. Iskandaryan: Armenia-EU association agreement that took 3,5 years to draft , may serve as a basis for cooperation on a new level. A meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, followed by a series of Gyumi-hosted events are on Putin's agenda. Partner news | Minister says Russia expects 520 mln tons oil output in 2013 "This year we expect oil [output] to be about 520 mln tons, despite setting a goal of pumping between 505 to 510 mln tons," Novak said.

RV Expert Center
General RV tire safety tips
RV technician and author Mark Polk offers offers some RV tire safety tips with RVtechtips.com. He says one of the most important things to do is to check the tire pressure on a regular basis and to adjust the air according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Avoid checking when they're hot, however, since you won't get an accurate reading.
Overloading your RV can also be a problem for your tires. Polk says failure to maintain correct tire pressure with a full load can result in fast tread wear, uneven wear, poor handling and excessive heat buildup, all of which can lead to tire failure.
Exposure to the sun and air can cause tires to deteriorate as well. It's important to check tires for signs of wear and tear often, and to keep them covered and off the ground when you're not driving on them.
Washing your tires with soap and water is okay, but Polk advises against over-washing or using products that make the rubber shine since both can wear down the protective compounds in the tires and cause them to age prematurely.
