in response to MIOCEN:
Here is something that really surprised me about the Bible:
Out of the 613 original Commandments of God and Moses, NOT ONE addressed the status of the unborn. Very odd since they managed to address almost everything else.
God knew that abortion was going on in Biblical times, and knew about the coming Roe v Wade; yet neither god OR Moses gave the unborn priority; except perhaps as PROPERTY.
Practically every one of god's concerns in Biblical Times was 'Factored Out" down to its specifics; including rape and marriage;
yet there is NOTHING about the unborn leaving pro lifers to hunt and peck through the Bible searching frantically for a hint of "god's love for the unborn"; while attempting to offset the truth that women and the unborn were of less value to man and god; -then was a CAMEL.
Any attempt to interpret the Bible in support of pro-life puts words into God's mouth and leaves the Bible open to multiple interpretations.
Out-of-context passages are easily cancelled out by contradictory examples rendering the net value of the Bible in support of pro-life to zero.
Clearly and surprisingly; neither God OR Moses thought enough of the status of the unborn to SPECIFICALLY clarify its intrinsic human value.
Therefore, in viewing the Bible as a whole, any argument attempting to justify anti-abortion from the prospective of the sanctity-of-life; -is invalid.
,,,ahhh MIOCEN+E,,,what about,,thou shall not commit murder,,,I think that is pretty specific,,,,the Bible does not say thou shall not kill,,,,,it says murder,,,,,sometimes it is nessary to kill to protect your own life or your families life from bad people,,,,,but abortion is murder is it not?????,,,what else could you classify it as,,,,mercy?
,,,I am not anti-abortion,,,if you are dumb enough to kill your own offspring that is fine with me,,,,less moronic kids for my kids to have to deal with,,,,,,,but it is still killing a human,,,it is still murder,,no matter how you sugar coat it,,,,,,

...you're not using enough.
Ok, I'm getting ready to cover the AC compressor at the house for the season and we usually use some 4mil black plastic and a roll of your run-of-the-mill silver duct tape to hold it in place. However, the winter hasn't been kind to the duct tape. Has anyone tried the Gorilla brand tape? Is it actually any different/better?

In the radio biz, if the buzz is good, the listeners will come. But now a suicide that followed an Australian radio prank is forcing American radio broadcasters to look in the mirror.
"It was a feeding frenzy last week when the prank first happened," said Paige Nienaber, a radio consultant for about 100 stations. "We thought, 'This is the greatest thing ever!' Then, of course, it became a tragedy."
Although the story is Topic A on U.S. airwaves, where pranks and stunts are all too common, it's hard to know what's being said off the air -- when studio microphones are not live.
The blame is widespread, says 40-plus-year radio veteran Bruce Kelly. "Most of the industry people I've talked to are saying it's not the DJs' fault. But it does make radio as a whole look pretty stupid."
Nurse Jacintha Saldanha's apparent suicide after Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian fooled her into thinking they were Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles has triggered American station owners to take a new look at their policies concerning pranks and stunts, industry insiders say.
"There is no way they could have anticipated this," said Nienaber. Now station owners, he said, are reviewing policy and reminding their talent to toe the line when it comes to stunts and pranks. "My advice: it's a tragedy, but just calm down."
"The DJs should not blame themselves," wrote CNN commenter Marci Richardson, who described herself as a paralegal. "No one commits suicide over a prank."
But another commenter, identifying as yokohamacat, wrote that "without their prank, she would probably be alive now. DJs can not go claiming total innocence as long as there is a clear sequence of suicide and the prank call."
When it comes to prank phone calls on American radio -- believe it or not -- there are rules. In fact, the Aussie prank never would have happened in the United States, broadcasters say, because the FCC dictates that anyone featured on air must give their permission before their voice is broadcast. Some stations take this so seriously that they produce fake prank phone calls by hiring impromptu actors to play the roles of unwitting listeners.
Radio has been successful partly because it has realized April Fool's Day doesn't have to happen once a year, Nienaber said.
He should know. The stunts he's helped stations promote are creative to say the least.
-- Hundreds of listeners were fooled into thinking they were appearing in a Brad Pitt movie.
-- A station promoted a "baby giveaway" contest by offering the winning couple free treatments for in vitro fertilization.
-- A contest dubbed Swap Your Wife for a Brand New Life offered several couples prizes after they switched partners.
The tragedy has morning shows nationwide thinking twice. "Those of us in the media forget the impact we have on people's lives, both positive and negative," Kelly said.
"Personally, I think anytime you publicly embarrass someone it doesn't sit well with me," said 31-year radio veteran Kevin Robinson, who programs 106-5 The Arch in St. Louis.
Is there a line that should not be crossed? "The line is, don't do it if it endangers the public directly," Kelly said.
The suicide dredges up memories of an American radio stunt that ended tragically: a 2007 contest that left 28-year-old Jennifer Strange dead from acute water intoxication. Strange entered the contest sponsored by Sacramento, Calif., station KDND. The contest promised a free Wii video game system to the person who could drink the most water without going to the bathroom or vomiting. Promoters dubbed the contest, "Hold Your Wee for a Wii." Strange's family was awarded $16.5 million in a wrongful death suit against the station owners.
"Sacramento really seemed to validate what a lot of people already believe: that we are this dangerous medium," said Nienaber. But he also calls it the "intestinal gas, fart joke medium," because "a lot of the people are emotionally stuck in the eighth grade." People who own radio stations, he says, see DJs as "children playing with explosives."
What's the payoff for radio pranks? In a word, buzz. Pressure from programmers often forces talent to go to extremes to "make noise" in the market, insiders say. Get listeners talking.

Results tagged ' 2006 '
2006 was the first year I served as datacaster for the Norfolk Tides. That year, the Tides were the AAA affiliate of the New York Mets, as they had been for the preceding 36 years. The Mets, to be honest, were a terrible parent team. They were arrogant, treating the Tides as if the Tides should be lucky to be affiliated with them. And the 2006 Mets were truly a terrible AAA team — the only halfway-decent prospect was Lastings Milledge; the opening-day roster included what we refer to, sarcastically, as the "Fab Four" — Todd Self, who has been the standard of batting incompetence; Julio Ramirez, legendary for losing ground to a bounding ground ball while chasing it in center field; Juan Tejeda, who is to first-base defense what Todd Self is to offense; and Cory Aldridge, whose most memorable came when he slid into home plate and yanked the ball out of the catcher's glove, only to be caught by the umpire. After these four were released, Michael Tucker, Jacob Cruz, and Jose Offerman joined the Tides; about a decade or a decade-and-a-half late.
The Tides severed their relationship with the Mets after 2006, establishing a relationship with the Baltimore Orioles. But now it's looking like the 2006 Tides have been cursed. It's been only four years, yet three of the pitchers on the 2006 Tides have already passed away:
- Geremi Gonzalez, a Venezuelan ex-major leaguer who started six games for the 2006 Tides, died on May 25, 2008 after being struck by lightning.
- Jose Lima, who led the 2006 Tides in innings pitched, died on May 23 of this year of a heart attack.
- And Jeriome Robertson, who pitched 38 2/3 innings with a 7.68 ERA for the 2006 Tides, died on May 29 of this year in a motorcycle accident.
I'll be honest — I really have no idea who would have cursed the 2006 Tides pitchers. None of the theories I can come up with make sense. But if I were Blake McGinley, Orlando Roman, or Steve Schmoll, I'd start getting worried toward the end of next May.

Her speech also included references that led some reporters to suspect she was considering retirement from acting after a decades-long career.
"I'm more into it than I've ever been," Foster said backstage. She would never quit, she said.
Adele, who has not been seen on a red carpet since she gave birth to a son in October, won best original song in a movie award for writing and singing "Skyfall," the title song for the latest James Bond movie.
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!" Adele exclaimed as she was handed the award. "It's very strange to be here. Thank you for letting me be part of your world tonight."
She told reporters backstage that she was "a little bit over excited," noting it was her "first night out" since giving birth.
Mychael Danna, who composed the score for best movie nominee "Life of Pi," won for best original score in a movie.
The Austrian film "Amour" won best foreign film, presented by Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Pixar film "Brave" carried home the Globe for best animated feature film.
Unlike the Oscars, the Globes also honor television with 11 awards.
HBO's "Game Change" won three TV Globes, including for best made-for-TV miniseries or movie. Julianne Moore was given the best actress in a made-for-TV miniseries or movie award for portraying former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Ed Harris was awarded the best supporting actor Globe for his work on "Game Change."
Kevin Costner won the Globe for best actor in a made-for-TV miniseries or movie for the History Channel's "Hatfields & McCoys."
Showtime's "Homeland" claimed three Globes, including the best TV drama series trophy for a second consecutive year. Co-stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis won the best actress and best actor in a television drama series honors, respectively.
It is the first Globe for Lewis, who won an Emmy last fall for the same role. He dedicated the award to his late mother, who "I know is up there tonight, looking down, bursting with pride and telling everyone how well her son is doing in acting."
The best supporting actress in a TV series, miniseries or movie award went to Maggie Smith for "Downton Abbey: Season 2."
Lena Dunham, star of "Girls," won for best actress in a TV comedy series.
Don Cheadle claimed the Globe for best actor in a TV comedy or musical series for "House of Lies."
The Globes launch the award season, which includes the Screen Actors Guild awards in two weeks, followed by the Grammys two weeks later and culminates on February 24 with the Academy Awards.
This year's Golden Globes show was hosted by NBC sitcom stars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Their onstage humor was less brutal toward the celebrities than in the past three years when British comedian Ricky Gervais turned the show into a roast.
Poehler joked that Gervais proved that "when you run afoul of the Hollywood Foreign Press, they make you host the show two more times."
Poehler's best one-liner, based on the loud audience laughter, targeted Kathryn Bigelow, director of best movie nominee "Zero Dark Thirty," which is controversial because of its portrayal of the torture of terror detainees. "When it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron," Poehler said

text: Home Culture What Would Fela Think of Today's Africa? The Afrobeat legend might have been inspired by Nigeria's recent presidential elections, as well as Africa's outburst of democracy. By: John Dramani Mahama, President of Ghana Posted: June 9 2011 12:39 AM 0 Fela Kuti; Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan In late April of this year, the award-winning Broadway musical Fela! was staged in Lagos, Nigeria. I traveled there, at the invitation of the organizers, to watch the show. From the moment Sahr Ngaujah, the actor who portrays Fela Anikulapo Kuti, took to the stage, he channeled the late musician, and I was immediately transported back to the 1970s. What made the experience all the more poignant was the fact that the performance was set against the backdrop of what was being labeled the freest and fairest elections Nigeria has ever had, with the victory of Mr. Goodluck Jonathan ushering in a much needed belief in the possibility of change -- not only for Nigeria but for the entire West African subregion. As I sat spellbound in the audience, I couldn't help wondering what Fela would think of his country, and of our continent, if he were alive to see it now. During the 1970s, I was in my teenage and early-adult years. It was a time when my political consciousness and sense of cultural identity were just forming, and as with so many of the people who came of age back then, the music of Fela Kuti played an instrumental role in that process. Because of the rise of television and FM radio, and the increasing accessibility of air travel, the influence of Western culture was strong in both Ghana and Nigeria. Though we wore bell-bottoms and platform shoes, listened to James Brown and used American slang, Fela and his Afrobeat rooted us firmly in the pride of our African selves. The lyrics "I no be gentleman at all, I be Africa man original," from "Gentleman," were practically an anthem. Although we felt that we knew who we were, nobody could say for sure anymore what Africa was. The fervor of the postcolonial independence period had died down, and Africa's future, which everyone had assumed would be bright, was now hanging in the balance. Fledgling democracies gave way to dictatorships as country after country experienced military coup after military coup. Fela's music addressed issues of corruption, military brutality, and social as well as economic justice and gave us an outlet for our outrage and frustrations. He sang about what so many people felt but were not able to express for fear of the consequences. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. His music turned him into an enemy of the state in Nigeria. He was harassed by the government and even jailed. For a period, Fela fled the country and sought refuge in Ghana, until the government here, which was growing increasingly uneasy with the rebellious nature of his music, ordered him to return to Nigeria. That stretch of time from the early 1970s to the late 1990s, which the entire body of Fela's music documents and critiques, is often referred to as Africa's "lost decades." During those years, the continent experienced absolutely no discernible growth in any arena. Whereas once blacks in the Diaspora were clamoring to come to Africa, there was now a mass exodus, one that crippled the continent by claiming many of its most promising minds. And then came the HIV/AIDS epidemic that further ravaged its people and, with the fear and stigma that accompanied the illness, cast a shadow on Africa's image and reputation. An unfathomable number of lives were lost to AIDS and AIDS-related complications, including the life of the man we affectionately referred to as the Black President, Fela Kuti.

Lucia-less Gophers Top Brown 6-2
With other matters obviously on the minds of the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's hockey team, the team took to the ice on Friday night and played – for the most part – a very solid 60 minutes en route to a 6-2 win over the University of Brown Bears in the second semifinal in the 2009 Dodge Holiday Classic.
The victory secured Minnesota a spot in the finals of the tournament where they will take on the Northeastern Huskies, who topped Western Michigan in the first semifinal by a 3-1 score.
Minnesota, of course, was without head coach Don Lucia, who missed Friday night's game with an undisclosed illness. In Lucia's absence, assistant coach John Hill took over the reigns as the head coach for the night.
Athletic Director Joel Maturi addressed the media during the first intermission but really had no information to share, other than the fact Lucia was still feeling under the weather and that doctors have yet to determine what the cause of his "flu-like symptoms" is. Maturi and Hill both said Lucia hoped to coach Saturday's game from the press box but were unsure if that was a legit possibility at this time.
"It's not fun not having Don here," said Hill.
This was Minnesota's first game since a 1-0 loss to Colorado College on Dec. 14, so early in it was apparent the team was still shaking off the proverbial rust.
In addition the long absence since their last game, the team was without three key players as Cade Fairchild, Mike Hoeffel and Jordan Schroeder all missed tonight's game (and will also be gone on Saturday) because they playing for the United Stats in the World Junior Championships in Ottawa. The trio should be back for next weekend's series at North Dakota.
However, Minnesota did welcome back a pair of key forward who missed the Colorado College series as both Mike Carman and Jay Barriball were able to play after suffering knee injures in late November vs. Michigan. And it didn't take long for either to make their presence felt.
Carman scored his fifth goal of the season midway through the first period after his linemates, Ryan Flynn and Jake Hansen, made nice plays along the boards to keep the puck moving up the ice. Carman was the beneficiary as he broke in along on Brown netminder Dan Rosen to make it 1-0 Minnesota.
Minnesota ended the first period with just a one goal lead despite outshooting the Bears by a 17-1 margin.
"Our pace wasn't where it needed to be," said Brown head coach Roger Grillo. "We were slow."
Barriball scored his sixth of the season early in the second period. After freshman defenseman Aaron Ness drove the puck to the net, he dished a pass out front to Barriball, who after a second was able to get a hold of the puck and burry high on the blocker-side to double the Gophers lead.
"It was good to see both Carman and Jay back and scoring," Hill said.
About five minutes later, senior Justin Bostrom would pick up his third of the year on a quirky play. A Sam Lofquist blast from the point was on net but deflected high into the air. Bostrom was planted on the side of the net and caught sight of the puck as it was coming down and batted it past Rosen just as the puck got near the ice to make it 3-0.
Bostrom would get his second point of the night on Minnesota's fourth goal. Defenseman Kevin Wehrs drove the puck deep into the zone, circled around the net and got a wrist shot off. Rosen made the save but Bostrom swatted the rebound on net and it trickled out on the far side. Freshman Nico Sacchetti was there to tap it in for his second of the season at 15:36 of the second period.
The Gophers would again hold the Bears to just one shot on goal in a period, and after two the shots favored the Maroon and Gold by a 35-2 margin.
Despite their lack of success through two-thirds of the game, the Brown players came out fired up for the third period and certainly made the game interesting. A pair of goals in the first 6:07 of the third brought them to within a pair of goals and had some onlookers at Mariucci Arena certainly a bit concerned.
However, sophomore Patrick White would bump the Minnesota lead back to three goals as he broke into the zone and was allowed to get near the top of the circle before the defenseman contested his shot. At that point it was too late as the Grand Rapids native let a wrist shot fly that went five-hold on Rosen to make it 5-2.
A late empty net goal by Minnesota freshman Joey Miller would cap the scoring for the night, though not before both Barriball and Ryan Stoa missed chances at empty net goals. That didn't seem to bother Barriball, who told John Hill after the game that "empty net goals are for weenies."
Minnesota will now look to come away from a weekend series with two wins, which hasn't happened since the first weekend of the season.
"It's time for us to play good in back-to-back games," Hill said.

If you have the "power button doesn't work" problem, try holding the button down for either 6 or 10 seconds (depending on the bios), and you'll find it will power off then. It comes about because the bios has APM (advanced power management) enabled, and the linux kernel you are using has APM support compiled in, and is "hooking" into the BIOS's features for "soft-power-down". The idea behind this is that when you press the power button the hook does a "init 0", and allows the OS to shut itself down first, before powering down the CPU etc. either disable APM in the bios, or in the kernel (or better still both). I mean when working with high-performance clusters you don't want the nodes to "go to sleep"...reduce clock speed of cpu, spin down it's HDD's, turn off its (probably nonexistant) display device, etc etc. You want MAXIMUM response from nodes, irrespective of how much juice they suck from the power piont. :-) David.

Marsh Marigold is a herbaceous perennial plant of the buttercup family, native to marshes, ditches and wet-woodland temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and is one of the first pond plants to bloom in the spring. This 6-12" plant does well in full or partial sun but will wilt in the heat of summer, returning in the fall as temperatures cool. Marsh Marigold flowers are yellow, 1–2" diameter, with multiple petal-like sepals and many yellow stamens; they appear in early spring to late summer and are visited by a great variety of insects for pollen and for the nectar secreted from small depressions, one on each side of each carpel.

Mail Order: What To Expect
Plants you receive by mail need time to adjust. Your plants will arrive as: Bare Root (only root and little to no foliage), Bunches (several stems or groupings of plants) or as a Net Pot (roots with some foliage). Upon arrival, they may not appear lush but given time & proper care, they will flourish!
Planting Instructions
Plant directly into pond and water garden planting shelves or you fill individual planting containers loosely with aquatic planting media, placing the appropriate fertilizer tablets into the bottom half of the planting media and covering them over, then filling planting media 2/3 to the top. Place the plant in the center of the pot with the roots spread out over the planting media, and then continuing to cover the roots with planting media. The crown of the plant, which is the connection between the roots and stems, can usually be about 1" below the surface of the planting media for best results. Avoid using bagged potting mix and other lightweight soils because they will float and continually cloud pond water.
Regular fertilization of your plant will keep it growing well all season long. TetraPond® LilyGro™ Aquatic Plant Food or Laguna Plant Grow Fertilizer Spikes can be pushed into the soil at planting time and from April through August, following all manufacturers' recommendation for fertilizer application rates.
Plant Maintenance
For best results, trim or prune as leaves and flowers begin to turn yellow or brown, remove them completely, discarding them to keep as much excess organic material out of water-body as possible.
Winter Care
All leaves and stems will begin to die off as winter arrives. If planted directly into a bog area, plants should be left alone after trimming any dead foliage to 1 to 2" above the top of the water. Plants that are on plant-shelves, in planting containers, should be trimmed to 1 to 2" and then gently lowered into the ponds deeper water. All plants submerged before winter must be brought back up as soon as the ice has permanently thawed, and before any plant growth occurs. In Zones 6 and warmer, most pond plants can tolerate being left in place without moving them at all.

My father was an avid hunter & we ate everything he killed. He'd bag at least one deer a year (We had major overpopulation problems. I don't know if anybody here has seen what a solid ten point buck can do to a car & it's occupants.) & we'd have 3 varieties of sausage, burger, steak, roasts, etc. There was one yesr he really got into quail. They were ridiculous to eat, but we did because he killed them.
On a weird note, me Da has been dead for six years & there is still a deer head & a set of forelegs in our deep freeze. He scared the hell out of me with it one year when he was still alive. This past fall my mom found it & called me freaking out wondering where it came from. Um, dad killed it, we ate it, he saved it's head. I bet you a cherry Coke it's still there. Blech. Maybe I didn't go back far enough, but what does everybody think of Ms. Coulter's new bullshit? Isaiah Washington just got VILIFIED in the press for using the word "faggot", but nobody seems to care about old right wing Barbie using it. Is she going to be sent to rehab? I know she tried to clean up by saying she wasn't trying to insult gays because "that's mean".

Freckle, there are programs in some states where hunters can donate unwanted meat to food banks and soup kitchens, which sounds like a win-win for both parties involved, since the hunters are encouraged to bag more game (deer over-population is a huge concern in some areas), and people get much-needed food that's good for them. I didn't come across any programs for donating the food overseas, though.
I have never been hunting, yet I grew up in an area where hunting season was practically an official holiday, have relatives who hunt, and have a lot of respect for people who do hunt and use what they get. Shooting animals in cages or just to brag about it is just cruel, and if you have to shoot a bear in a cage instead of going to, say, Alaska and actually hunting it, then I think that says more about how poor your hunting skills are than anything. -------------------- All I know is that I don't know nothing.--Op Ivy

"that says to me, mmmm! goood eatin'!" that said i do agree with ginger's last post. caged animal hunting is bullshit as much as saying you need a auto to hunt. and i feel the same way about trophy hunters that don't eat their meat. ...and why does that sound sooooooooo dirty...? and lady j, a sucking fart out of your ass would be e hasselback's only 20 IQ points. -------------------- "what a swell farewell party! we said goodbye to everything, including the lining in my stomach." - garvey, from the film, born bad "That's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not: being a woman.

I feel the same way about geese they are everywhere, why can't I kill one ( not that I have any clue how) and eat it? Oh and Elizabeth Hasselback can suck a fart out of my ass. What a dumb fuck! Why I'll bet that sucking a fart out of my ass would increase her IQ by at least 20pts. |

hoosierman, I don't think you had to apoligize, we all jump to the wrong conclusions sometimes. I seriously don't have a problem hunting for food. Christ I'm from the Midwest most of my family memebers are/were hunters. I have definately eaten my share of venison over the years. And I even like it, venison summer sausage....mmmmmm...
My only problem was the way whats his name, killed a confined animal. I can't see any sport or thrill in that. It's just cruel to me. My comment was based on the fact that, he went around boasting about killing a bear, blah, blah.....and I think well not really a challenge since it was caged, but I am sure he felt really big and manly about it. I know hunting an actual wild bear in it's own enivorment, would dangerous as hell and uber difficult. Trophy hunters and people that hunt for bragging rights just rub me the wrong way. Hope that all makes sense. -------------------- -We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different.

lol... freckle a lot of my friends are stunned to hear how i feel about guns, but my experience is different from theirs. i'm a city slicker now, but i wasn't always. my grandma lived on a farm that raised prize steer for some rich asshole family. part of my childhood was in the country. and i can ride horses with the best of 'em. so i've known a hunter or two, athough i've never hunted myself.
i think most of the people who hunt, dear, eat the deer (sorry could'nt resist the pun). that it's a trophy to boot is kinda like the pic of the huge fish they caught. just because it's head is hanging on a wall doesn't mean they threw the rest away. i can understand your aversion to hunting, but i grew up partly in a very poor rural part of colorado. my best friend's meat packing plant was his family's means of survival. if there was meat on his table it was from hunting, or in trade for slaughtering others' livestock raised for food. it's hard to down someone when it's litterally about family survival. my best friend wasn't some meathead jock, quite the opposite. he was premature, never gained his proper weight no matter how old he was, and had a disease that would kill him before he reached 30. he was a sweet, sensitve soul, but the family business was meat packing, and everybody had to help, and the easiest thing for his anemic body was to be the slaugherer. to him it was normal. i saw him work because i am endlessly curious and i thought that i should know how meat gets to my plate. it wasn't pretty, but like hman said, you do gain a measure of respect for your food. -------------------- "what a swell farewell party! we said goodbye to everything, including the lining in my stomach." - garvey, from the film, born bad "That's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not: being a woman.

you all have certainly made me think. most especially about my own predjudices about- hunting in general- and I admit that it had never occured to me that there may actually be people like you hoosierman (cool name!) out there at all.
and while I have always understood about the "humanity in relation to certain animal populations getting out of control" (i-e more humane to hunt deer than to let them starve etc), why can we not organize some sort of (this is going to sound Lame but I don't know other words off hand) Bag a Deer/Save a Life sort of thing, where during Season (or whatever it's called) hunters hunt and then the meat is processed and then freeze-dried or something and then shipped to say, Africa or some other 3rd world country or continent where starvation is such a prominant plight? and the hunters would have to pay x_____ $ to enter it or some other thing to raise cash right along with it. Imagine if we did this country-wide? I don't know.. I'm talkin' out my ear here anway, but Thanks hoosierman and gt- I am suprised but o k, but my mind is open just a little bit more today than it had been. I still don't support it (gunning for Bambi) but my perspective has been enlightened all the same. -------------------- I am a *spark* in this world; get lit.

No need to apologize at all. In fact, the statement I made was "hunting is vile". So I was the one who generalized! No worries.

CH, I think I just took what you & GK said regarding hunting a little too personal, and I apollogize if that was the case. I've just had way too many noses turned up at me when people discover I hunt (usually, right before they chomp into a big cheeseburger or something), and wanted to state that there are those of us that prefer, actually, the meat of wild game vs. farm raised. I probably made a few assumptions I shouldn't have, and apollogize for that as well. There are just so many people whose only exposure to hunting are fuckwits like the guy talked about below, and don't realize that there are people that like wild game to eat. You are obviously (now anyway) not one of them, and I shouldn't have assumed as much.

I must expand my views on hunting. I find hunting for sport vile. I understand if you go out and kill morris the moose, then eat him, cool. By all means. I've had moose meat (and it is actually quite tasty). But if you go out and kill a bear, eagle, whatever just for trophy. Fuck off.
Hoosier, I know not all hunters and fucking wacko's! Just the ones similar to that fuckwit who was being discussed below! -------------------- Hatred does not cease in this world by hating, but by not hating; this is an eternal truth. --- Buddah, The Dhammapada

feh. i'm a pretty radical lefty, but i have no problem with hunting or hunting guns, although i am not a member of the nra. perhaps it's growing up in colorado where my best friend's family business that was a slaughterhouse/meat packing plant. hunting is fine, but you don't need a semi-auto to do it. that's bullshit. and i wouldn't assume anyone is a meat eater either. but i don't think there is hypocracy in eating meat and being against hunting. as i said, hunting doesn't bother me, but if i did, my non-hypocritical reply against hunting would be this simple: it's just not necc'ry. the pain in a slaughter house is can be minimal (unless we are talking about kosher, and i can tell you what happens from start to finish, too. my best friend slaughered animals when i was hanging out with him). you can make the case for "naturalness" but we live in a modern age. if it were about natural, we wouldn't cook the food, either. just sayin'.
that said i disagree with those who are anti horror movie. *shrugs* i love horror movies. for me any movie is an intellectual exercise about societies ideas about the individual. it's something to be decoded, studdied. more so with horror movies. in particular, horror movies are a great means of judging how the larger society views feminism. add to that i have a rather black sense of humor, so more often than not i find them funny. but that's me. i understand why people don't like horror movies, but i find them way more interesting semioticly than most comedies. i couldn't agree more ms hassleback is an idiot, and ggg- you are spot on about her and why she's on the view. but i find it ironic that she's the token republican. -------------------- "what a swell farewell party! we said goodbye to everything, including the lining in my stomach." - garvey, from the film, born bad "That's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not: being a woman.

I understand the reasoning behind it (jealousy, rage, etc), but I can't for the life of me find where in the human mind this type of reasoning could come from. Of course, my father taught me to treat women with respect - both in words and by example, so I suppose that has a lot to do with it.
Just as a side note, I was reading the comments below in regards to hunting. I understand that I am not a regular poster here, nor am I a woman, so I will refrain from completely derailing this thread. I am simply posting this as a defense to the majority of hunters - at least the ones I know and read of. The vast majority of us do not, under any circumstances, advocate the type of killing that the member of Montgomery Gentry did, and find his slap on the wrist pretty pathetic. Now, my next statement I'm going to preface with this: if you are wholly against the eating of meat, in any way, shape, or form, then what I'm about to say does not apply to you, and I'll just agree to disagree. Ok. Hunting isn't a 'me man, hear me roar' type of activity - not to all of us anyway (and especially not my sisters, since they are not men to begin with). It's more about, even if just for a few days a year, getting back to a time when life didn't move so fast, and everything was much simpler. Hunting is a time to truly get an appreciation for where your food comes from. At one point in time, those chicken fingers, or big mac were living, breathing animals. Hunting your own game brings that fact home very quickly. I rarely think twice when I eat something purchased at a store, but anytime I eat something I have been involved with during the entire process, I can tell you pretty much exactly what happened from start to finish. I understand that those opposed to hunting have their opinions and reasons for them, and that's fine, I'm not trying to make any converts. I would just like you to think about what I've said, and possibly put a little insight into why the majority of hunters enjoy it so much rather than the jackasses that make the news giving us all a bad name. The life that the deer I hunt lead are much more natural than any beef or chicken you might buy. I especially would like you to think about that if you are a meat eater yourself. Think down deep, and try to see the slight hypocricy for railing against someone that participates in entire process of eating meat, vs. simply picking up those boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the supermarket. |

Husbands kill wives out of jealousy, rage, "Nobody can have you" passion, that only an abuser can muster.
I think E Hassleback is an idiot. I am no Rosie fan, but she shuts E down with a word. EH is a sheltered, priviledged woman, who thinks the entire world should share her values. Seriously, you got the gig because you are cute and were on Survivor. That is it. -------------------- Constantly on.

I don't watch the view, but on the rare occassion that have caught a clip, I found I strongly disliked Hasselback. So this makes me happy, though I don't really care about the show, I just felt she was a blithering idiot and didn't deserve to be on TV.

I remember the globe and mail writing an article about the six women for whom Pickton is accused of murdering, and they went into detail about how one father stopped the interview as he didn't like how his daughter was being referred to. The journalist went into the same details, these are women too, then what happens in the nest article discussing it? the first line was about the drug addicted prostitues.

That really irritates me...he got such a tiny slap on the wrist for a fairly savage crime. I just don't see the sport in killing a captive animal. Wow, that really makes him a man......grrrrr......
erinjane, what a great website! That's a really moving and interesting way to bring attention to missing women. I hear what your saying, culture I hate it women the media strips away all the defining characteristics of a woman and portray them only in a negative way. I have noticed the same thing oftens happens to former criminals if they should happen to get murdered, etc......the head line will read 'ex-felon shot to death' what if that felony was 30 years ago and the person has completey turned thier life around and become a productive member of society? Why undermine there death by pointing out a past mistake? -------------------- -We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different.

Sometimes I'm watching TV shows with my family or my boyfriend's family and I just can't *not* comment on the name choice. Sometimes, I have to say, "Those are really good names. I love it." And sometimes, I have to say, "WHY WOULD YOU NAME A PERSON THAT?"

Today in English class a girl from another class who was pregnant brought in her baby to show my English teacher. All the girls in the class walked up to see the baby and I did too, not because I really wanted to see it but because I wanted to know its name so badly and I can't hear very well from where I sit in the back.
Anyway, its name was Isabella Grace (sp?) and I was so disappointed in how "generic" her name was I just walked back to my seat all bummed out and didn't even look at the baby. I think out of all my classmates I was the only one who didn't think her name was "gorgeous"Violet Gray

Whenever I see a film, I make sure that afterwards, I take a look at the full cast and crew list on IMDB.
I do it for every single film that I see, whether it at the cinema or on TV/DVD.
Sometimes the credits go so fast, or the writing is too small to see them properly, when the credits roll at the end. That's why IMDB is a Godsend.♥ Margaret Mary ♥

When someone mentions a name and you know the meaning off hand & everyone has that "what, is that your middle name or something?" moment. Nope. Just obsessed.

Aren't you forgetting something? Crap! You're supposed to bring a side to the Memorial Day cookout! If your potluck promise slipped your mind, don't worry–we've got 10 delicious, easy vegetarian side dishes that you can pull together and pop in a Tupperware without being late for the party.
If you're worried about what's going to be on the grill (like, you know, only meat), or you just want to make sure there's an alternative to all the mayonaise "salads" that tend to populate the picnic table at most barbecues, a few healthy, fresh vegetarian side dishes can help fill in the nutritional gaps. Plus, many of these can be made with the stuff you've probably already got in your refrigerator, or one quick trip to the farmer's market or grocery store.
Here's to a happy (and healthy) Memorial Day, from all of your friends at Blisstree.

Well, Google started updating late on the 10th April (UK time), and you can see the beginnings of the new database at www2 and www3.google.com. Look slike multiple links from the same site are being hit this time round, so we may see some cleaner results this time, as the "Damn the crosslinking spam filters! Full speed ahead!" crowd might take a real knock this month.
As promised, Google are including previously banned sites which have mended their wicked ways, and are requesting that anyone else who wishes to be reconsidered sends an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, with a subject of "Reinclusion request", or similar, along with a confessional ("Receive my confession, O most loving and gracious GoogleGuy...") saying what you did, and how you've cleaned up. If you are going to do it, do it quickly, before the next deep crawl starts for maximum chance of reinstatement
I personally would be a bit economical with the truth here; these requests are one of Googles best sources of information on how people spam them and exploit the more glaring weaknesses in their algorithm, and it wouldn't do for them to be able to find and fix ALL of them ;)
Also, GoogleGuy dropped a BIG HINT :
He is actively requesting spam reports on hidden text, and hidden links. If you are using these techniques, I would SERIOUSLY look at ways to remove/replace them, BEFORE the deep crawl comes around in a few days time (DeepBot comes from the 216.* block, don't confuse it with the FreshBot out of the 64.* block. Both report themselves as GoogleBot, but its Ms. DeepBot who you need to court most)
So, there we have it, Google update "Cassandra", April 2003. Luck to you all

I found this story unnecessarily long, tawdry and graphic. An expert terrorist running around wily nilly murdering Americans and innocent families does not excite me. The novel could have been less negative and a lot more positive without the tortuous violence. 6 of 10 stars

DeMille spent a lot of effort concocting wisecracks for the protagonist to spout at every turn. Too bad he didn't expend much making the reader care about his characters. An exciting beginning degenerates into mere boilerplate thriller with the bad guy the only interesting participant. Hopefully his next book will reflect more of DeMille's past prowess.

Instead of Demille's tired sequel The Lion, read a book similar to the Lion's Game revolving around a detective uncovering a 9/11 conspiracy, instead of TWA flight #800. It's a new release called "America Deceived II" by E.A. Blayre III. The 9/11 chapter brings you back to that time vividly as the detective plot unfolds.

A Brief History of Branding: Ancient Times
It may come as a great surprise to other present day design professionals, as it did to me, that the branding and marketing industry has been around for thousands of years. Documentation exists as far back as 2700 B.C with examples of oxen hieroglyphics depicted on Egyptians tombs indicating ownership by the deceased.
The History of Tartans
In the 1500′s, woven woolen cloth, known as tartans, are believed to be derived from the French word 'tiretaine'. They identified the geographic area from which a person came. Later, these fabric patterns became affiliated with families or clans, which is how we primarily know them today. Tartans are attributed to Scotland but also existed and still exist in Britain, Ireland, North America and in numerous other countries around the world. Some tartans were even created as late as the 20th Century. Societies, institutions, philanthropists and organizations inspired these.
Livestock Branding
The original intent of livestock branding was to identify ownership, to be 'a visible and permanent mark' to distinguish between what was yours and what was mine. It was a clear-cut way to prevent theft as well as a simple way to identify and return lost livestock to its proper owner. Branding of cattle is still used in the same way today.
Branding and Marketing in the Food Industry: Three Phases
Over time, branding has evolved into an indispensable marketing and advertising tool applied to a great extent, but not exclusively, to the food industry. As such, it has existed since the late 1800′s, a mere sliver of the total time line pie in branding history.
Commercial food branding has gone through three phases. But for the purposes of this article, they will not be described in detail other than to distinguish their periods, "the fragmentation phase (before 1870–1880), the unification phase (1880–1950), and the segmentation phase (1950 and later)." These are referred to with the source credit below. In addition, the '4P' marketing theory is listed below.
I Want It and I Want It Now!
Present day branding has brought the science of marketing and the art of branding full circle. A brand with the proper marketing can now be known for instant product recognition. The goal of this immediate recognition is the advent of instantaneous acquisition and consumption.
The Seamless Digital Retail Experience
The purpose of the type of branding that identifies livestock is called, 'what's mine is mine'. But in retail, it is now 'what's yours is mine' and 'make it mine now'. This is becoming imperative and possible. Recognition through branding and acquisition through digital technology and online marketing make this process closer to seamless on a daily basis.
With the evolving technologies of near field communication, local mobile fusion, radio frequency identification, QR code generation and identification, retailers are becoming able to make us offers we can no longer refuse. There is almost no time to reconsider offers as they become digitally seamless and irresistible.
In Conclusion
When done well using the art of marketing and science of branding, the result of immediate recognition is now approaching '0′ time between recognizing, purchasing and consuming. With the continually growing addition of new technology, this process is getting even faster and the gap is lessening to the point where our wishes will be the digital genie's immediate command. I want it; you have it; I see it; I got it. Just like that!
A Short Video Visit to One of the Best Examples of Branding Today
I consider Dunkin' Donuts (Dunkin' not Duncan and yes there is a Duncan tartan has no relation to the retailer's brand or history), to be one of the best examples of branding and marketing in the US today. Watch this short video and let me know what you think. Future articles will continue to explore the fascinating topics of digital, brands and marketing.

{{{{waving hi...hugs and kisses everyone}}}
I ove that first pic, I hope we get it in HQ.
Oh I love that first one with Rob stretched out in the doorway. Reminds me of my #1 son who has a 36" inseam and he used to stand diagonally in the shower stall, fall asleep until the hot water ran out!!!!
(No, I didn't look, I yelled when the water ran out in the upstairs shower and he woke up, told us what happened. But he did it more than once.)
@Rob in pic one........
Hey Rob, what you lookin at, can we all look?
YOU girls,have a wail of a Robstock time. so jealous!!
Can someone give him a kiss from me.
What we have here is the male equivalent of Marilyn Monroe. We will never get tired of the pictures no matter how many we see.
Love the photos, but I'm having trouble tracking here. Rob sat and gave a gazillion interviews in person and on phone to promote Eclipse for the junket in that same mustard shirt, and on top of that, did photo shoots! I guess Rob's work day (thanks to Summit)is way beyond anything I can imagine. Was it like 24/7 that weekend?
