"Over view of AAI Conference" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-15 23:51:36

Hitchens has never been to the exhibition displace in his twenty five years in DC but he has said that he will go and create verbally his take on it and set the wheels in motion for a proper historic representation. Sadly he and Richard were other wise engaged with prior commitments to join the thirty of us that went to the Jefferson Memorial then on to the White House while wearing our “A” T shirts. Once again help was on hand with the Rational Response Squad telling us of a documentary team in DC for them - giving us the number and then others with Cell phones making it come about. Thus the thirty of us outside the White House will be a move of this documentary and a chance to outline the http://outcampaign org/ In the Q & A Dawkins has stated his intention of writing a science book for children but one that teaches them to evaluate using the scientific method. No idea how long that communicate will act (if memory serves when he publicly said he was working on The God Delusion it came out two years later) but you heard it here what his next book ordain be. As I evaluate most of us experience he has edited a collection of scientific works for Oxford University Press that he has completed. Margaret Downey the President of AAI is a woman that any man would want by his side for all reasons one could wish. She was always available kept in touch with us on the stall and at the drop of a hat ready to help us with any idea we had come up with in the bar the night before. She constantly tried to give us all the beat conference ever - despite the lie up guaranteeing it. Did not get a chance to express her husband that I have fallen in love with her and what a fortunate guy he was. You and the inform hosts did a marvellous job. Mind you if there was someone else that could be a rival for my affections it was the compose of “Infidel”. Her speech was sincere based on experience and a reason why belief in belief and faith lacking cerebrate is why RDF and the other bodies are so vital - populate’s lives get fucked up over this (forgive that but I cannot stress it better any other way). Hitchens is right that one and all would get in the way of an assassins hand if they had tried anything. When Richard at the very end asked for permission to nominate her for the Nobel Peace consider as one we rose to applaud. I look very much to reading my signed copy of her book as soon as my luggage that did not make my connecting pip is sent to me tomorrow. At this moment on the instruct from London back to the Midlands. It seems strange hearing English dialects again and I am more conscious of the differences then usual. Also it was -4 C when I touched drink compared to highs of over 30 C in Washington and Virginia. Seeing people with a scarf on rather than shades adds to the frostiness of the local people compared to the USA where populate are more in your face in a nice way than detached. But then I am reminded why air conditioning is not as common here - we do not need it like the people in DC. Sam Harris spoke after Richard and he had something to say that which was something of a led aviate and his speech had the most silent response compared to all the other speakers. It was uncomfortable and I could tell that Sam knew it was not playing to the gallery but he felt he had something important to say and with honest populate like that in the movement I am confident. His communicate was that the word “atheism” has too much baggage - he pointed out that he had not used that word to describe himself in “End of Faith”. But more importantly he was suggesting that it was not necessary to identify ourselves as such - anymore then we would as anti-astrologers or anti-racists when talking about these issues let alone stating we were atheists when doing so to get our point across. His argument on an issue like stem cell investigate is that the A word be not ever be mentioned because reason and science could be in that consider. When we keep using atheism in non atheism issues he said it was like we were lying down in a chalk body depict willingly for the opposition. At measure he got a laugh. But when he mentioned about meditating hermits in caves being happy without usual external stimuli he lost the audience with one question suggesting he was a super naturalist. I think I shouted compel at that point in my head or out loud because he had not invoked that - only that what makes us happy may have more to it then we in the west our inclined to think. When I gave Sam the wrist bind I thanked him for his guts - but like Dawkins he was busy all over the place so no come about to pick his brains because both of us undergo an affinity for the philosophical poetry of the east. Once again he made clear that he is a materialist but people seem not to comprehend that… As for Hitchens well he makes one loose his heterosexuality. Unlike the others he was not running about the place but rather slowly wondering about and joining populate allowing them to communicate to him about whatever as mentioned earlier. In his speech he mentioned that people ask him if he really means everything when saying religion poisons everything. Everything? “What chess?” to laughs. Yet I remembered John Simpson in one of his books writing that the restrictions on entering Taliban Afghanistan included chessmen and board - he hated being told what not to do so he deliberately packed them. So yes even chess is poisoned by religion. It seeps through like radiation and the mutation is not to be considered always neutral or beneficial to the human mammal the way people that profess belief in belief think. populate did try to tear him apart for his pro Iraq war stance. He handled them in the way I admire him - namely that desire him I am not prepared to see my fellow secularists and atheists slaughtered at the hands of religious fundamentalists who care nothing for their people but use them as a means to bring about the 13 I hope to create verbally in more detail about my views of what was said especially Sam Harris. However I am now going to change state my eyes and listen to my new “mum”. I shall also talk about Dennet in the days to come as his acceptance speech for an allocate by Dawkins based on “Breaking the Spell” deserves it. concede me if the grammar or spelling is wrong. I am jet lagged and ordain I am sure resolve any issues but I guessed you guys wanted something about the AAI Conference. By all means tell me but bear in object that I am extremely tired (I am now back home) - but I be to share my experience with you. Thanks for that understanding!

"Jesus confronts the rich (sermon of Sep. 30)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 22:36:12

Be thou my vision. O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me save that thou art were still on my mind early this morning. See more on worship music below.) Sermon: [with Bible on screen ask for volunteers to act it out and ask the congregation to direct the vols in response to my questions. Now construe:] OK directors what’s he wearing in modern terms? What do you see him doing? [They put him in leather and silk and driving either a Mercedes-Benz or a Jaguar. He often hung out by the pool sipping drinks. Perhaps Bertie Wooster fits the account; here’s Hugh Laurie’s version of the Wodehouse dimwit.] A poor man named Lazarus covered with sores had been dumped on his doorstep. All he lived for was to get a meal from scraps off the rich man’s table. His best friends were the dogs who came and licked his sores. Why is he here on the rich man’s doorstep? Why would dogs who licked his sores be friends? 22-24″Then he died this poor man and was taken up by the angels to the lap of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell and in torment he looked up and saw Abraham in the distance and Lazarus in his lap. He called out. ‘Father Abraham mercy! undergo mercy! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in water to alter my tongue. I’m in agony in this fire.’ 25-26″But Abraham said. ‘Child remember that in your lifetime you got the good things and Lazarus the bad things. It’s not like that here. Here he’s consoled and you’re tormented. Rich guy in hell poor guy in heaven. Strange eh? Wonder how the rich man might feel about this: Besides in all these matters there is a huge chasm set between us so that no one can go from us to you change surface if he wanted to nor can anyone cross over from you to us.’ 27-28″The rich man said. ‘Then let me ask you. create: Send him to the house of my father where I have five brothers so he can express them the advance and warn them so they won’t end up here in this place of torment.’ 29″Abraham answered. ‘They have Moses and the Prophets to tell them the score. Let them comprehend to them.’ 30″‘I know. Father Abraham,’ he said. ‘but they’re not listening. If someone came approve to them from the dead they would change their ways.’ 31″Abraham replied. ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the Prophets they’re not going to be convinced by someone who rises from the dead.’” It.

"An Incumbent?s Age Eventually Makes a Seat ?Competitive?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:12:27

In the Spring of 1972 a Contra Costa County banker moved into Alameda County and filed for the Democratic nomination for Congress against Representative George P. Miller. Miller at the time was the only Committee Chair west of the Rocky Mountains. He had served for 26 years – with honesty if not distinction. Miller’s carpetbagging opponent was then 45 year old Fortney Peter Stark. Stark’s race aggroup bought a photo of the 80 year old Miller looking like death warmed over and mailed it occasionally to the Democratic voters of the district. Miller unchallenged for a decade refused to be ruffled. Like many desire call incumbents he was sure he had a rapport with voters that could not be disturb. And Miller was swamped. Voters believed that 26 years in office was enough and that 80 was too old. Fast forward to 2008 and lo. Fortney “Pete” Stark has been in Congress 36 years and ordain get together birthday number 80. Where in previous years potential successors would bide their time restrained by the support they share with the elder Stark the effects of term limits eliminate their waiting places and make them as impatient as Stark himself was 35 years ago. Should youthful energy and enthusiasm replace age and experience? It’s not a new question. In John Ford’s funny movie. “The Last call” an old politician (Spencer Tracy) is ousted by a younger man clearly his inferior in all but age (he ‘rents’ a dog). But the voters prefer a younger man. Our electorate is getting older too – in two ways. First people under 40 even if registered to vote are participating less. back up the ‘go’ cohort is moving into their 60’s aging the total vote as they do so. And the one thing you can’t fool older voters about is the effects of age. Older voters other things compete like younger politicians. Albert Payson Terhune the great naturalist writer of the early 20th century used to say that there is no such thing as a quiet death in the wild – animals starve or are eaten alive when they slow drink. account Cavala was Deputy Director of the Assembly Speaker’s Office of Member Services where he worked for over 30 years. He attended undergraduate and graduate school in the 1960’s and received a doctorate in political science at UC Berkeley. He taught political science at UC Berkeley during the 1970's while he worked part-time for the State Assembly. Cavala left teaching at UC Berkeley and went to work for Assembly Speaker Willie Brown in 1981 until his tenure as Speaker ended in 1995 and he has worked for his five successors as Speaker up to and including Speaker Fabian Nunez. Mr. Cavala manages election campaigns for Democratic candidates.

"Can Gays Save Michigan's Economy??" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:43:42

My father depart educate in seventh grade got a job and married at 16. After he came of age he walked into General Motors and got the obtain,well-paying job that he kept for over 30 years. Those were the good olddays. The automotive industry is dead and it's time to bury it and createnew prosperity. One definition of insanity is to do the same thing overand over again and expecting different results. Expecting a new autocompany to bring through the dying economy is insane; it's time to dosomething different. According to the National Association of Wedding Ministers atotal of $72 billion is spent on weddings annually in the U. S. Theaverage American wedding costs $22,000. Thirty million Americans are prospects for same-sex marriage. Multiply15 million same-sex couples by $22,000 and you go up with $330billion in same-sex marriage revenue assuming each only marries once. Who turns away $330 billion in easy money?In 2004 before many UM-D students could legally choose the people ofMichigan sabotaged our economy by adding an amendment to theconstitution banning same-sex marriage. Why? For the most part it wasdue to the Book of Leviticus in the Old Testament where it says twomen having sex is an abomination. It's near where it says wearing clothof more than one material (such as a poly/cotton amalgamate) is anabomination and eating shellfish (desire shrimp at Red Lobster) is anabomination. Other abominations are divination (like reading yourhoroscope) and adultery (getting married again while your first spouseis comfort alive). Other forbidden acts in the Old Testament includebraiding your hair wearing pearls and eating pork. In Michigan two counties voted against the amendment. Washtenaw (hometo seven universities and colleges) and Ingham (domiciliate to Michigan StateUniversity). The economy in Michigan is falling apart. Young people are coming intothe Michigan job market at a miserable measure because the adults beforethem failed to provide a prosperous economy. Every measure you see a Michigan newspaper advertise about loss of jobs orsoaring domiciliate foreclosure rates or a struggling economy you must putthe accuse where it belongs. In 2004 the voters of Michigan could haveallowed same-sex marriage bringing billions into our economy. Communities that sabotaged our economy should be boycotted and pay the price for their hate-mongering mentality. Some of the cities where the majority voted to forbid that hatefulamendment were Berkley. Birmingham. Bloomfield Hills. Farmington Hills,Ferndale. Huntington Woods and Oak Park. These are the cities to shop. You will notice an interesting correlation here; these cities alsohappen to be where prosperous populate live. There appears to be a strongconnection between embracing diversity and prosperity. This is especially adjust in Wayne County. Cities where the votingmajority wanted to ban same-sex marriage are also cities with highpoverty rates: Allen Park. Detroit. Hamtramck. Lincoln lay. RiverRouge. Southgate and Taylor among others. Those cities do not deserveour money. Their bigotry keeps them poor and in more ways than one. They voted selfishly and deserve to be shunned economically. On the other transfer the voters of Grosse Pointe known for its prosperity stood against that sleazy amendment. Bringing same-sex marriage to Michigan will create wealth andprosperity for our people. There will be catering companies limousineservices and all the other ingredients that go into a $22,000 wedding,or even more since gay populate usually undergo more discretionary income. Today's young people have to rise up against the outdated notionsof older voters and cancel the marriage amendment. We be same-sexmarriage in Michigan to regenerate the dying automotive industry.

"Fox News Live guest claimed Limbaugh named MacBeth "about 30 ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 20:29:21

after hearing a segment of Rush Limbaugh's controversial comments characterizing service members who advocate U. S withdrawal from Iraq as "phony soldiers," guest Carrie Lukas of the Independent Women's Forum asserted. "If you go on for another about 30 seconds you hear Mr. Limbaugh start talking about Jessie MacBeth." In fact a 1 minute and 50 back up discussion occurred between Limbaugh's original "phony soldiers" comment and his compose to MacBeth. During the October 2 edition of Fox News be after broadcasting a segment of 's controversial September 26 comments characterizing function members who advise U. S withdrawal from Iraq as "phony soldiers," Carrie Lukas director of policy for the conservative Independent Women's Forum asserted. "If you go on for another about 30 seconds you hear Mr. Limbaugh start talking about Jessie MacBeth who is a man who the left has made very prominent because he came out and said that our soldiers did horrible things burned bodies of Iraqis and this was broadcast all over the place. And now it turns out that Jesse MacBeth lied about his credentials." Fox News anchor Jon Scott did not respond to Lukas' claim about the timing of Limbaugh's comments about MacBeth. In fact as Media Matters for America documented a 1 minute and 50 second discussion occurred between Limbaugh's original "phony soldiers" comment and his reference to MacBeth. The full audio can be heard. During a discussion of the controversy with Democratic strategist Doug Schoen. Lukas stated: "What I would encourage my fellow guest to do is actually to construe the transcript of what Rush Limbaugh said because that's what I have done. I was actually listening at the time and this is an absolutely fabricated story." She went on to suggest that Fox "go ahead and play the clip from Rush Limbaugh because go Limbaugh has it prominently displayed on his website." In fact as Media Matters has during the September 28 broadcast of his nationally syndicated communicate show. Limbaugh purported to air the "entire" segment in question from the September 26 air of his show but the clip he then aired had been spliced without any indication to listeners that they were hearing a cropped version of the audio. Excised from the clip was a full 1 minute and 35 seconds of the 1 minute and 50 second discussion that occurred between Limbaugh's original "phony soldiers" mention and his reference to MacBeth. Also. Limbaugh posted on his website a (subscription required) of the first segment of the first hour of his September 28 air but as Media Matters has the (subscription required) does not include most of the conversation between Limbaugh's "phony soldiers" say and his discussion of MacBeth -- or change surface tell that any conversation took place: Limbaugh's transcript does not give any notation or ellipsis to indicate that there is in fact a break in the transcript of the September 26 clip he used. After Fox aired Limbaugh's "phony soldiers" comment. Schoen asserted: "Pretty alter isn't it? 'Phony soldiers,' it's alter there. Wasn't referring to one specific soldier." Lukas then asserted. "If you go on for another about 30 seconds you comprehend Mr. Limbaugh go away talking about Jessie MacBeth." LUKAS: If I can just jump in because this conversation is just patently ridiculous. What I would encourage my fellow guest to do is actually to read the transcript of what Rush Limbaugh said because that's what I undergo done. I was actually listening at the time and this is an absolutely fabricated story. go Limbaugh said -- LUKAS: Then why don't we -- I would encourage Fox to go ahead and compete the cut from go Limbaugh because go Limbaugh has it prominently displayed on his website. None of the Democrats -- Sen. Tom Harkin is not quoting go Limbaugh. They are only quoting this one term -- "phony soldier" -- taken completely out of context. SCOTT: Carrie we will cater your challenge and play that cut alter now. Hang on. SCHOEN: I think it's very clear what he said and that he owes an apology. LUKAS: Well if you continue -- first of all you don't experience who that caller is referring to. If you go on for another about 30 seconds you hear Mr. Limbaugh go away talking about Jessie MacBeth who is a man who the left has made very prominent because he came out and said that our soldiers did horrible things burned bodies of Iraqis and this was broadcast all over the place. And now it turns out that Jesse MacBeth lied about his credentials. LUKAS: People who lie about their preserve should not be treated as real soldiers. If you're not a real soldier you are a phony soldier. The AP actually used that call when describing men who had been lying about their preserve. SCHOEN: I must tell you if you're in Iraq fighting whether you agree or disagree with American policy -- SCHOEN: -- you are a real soldier. And Rush Limbaugh owes all soldiers an apology for his outrageous comments. LUKAS: Rush Limbaugh would accept with you sir that anyone who is fighting in Iraq is a real soldier. What he was talking about is populate who aren't real soldiers at all and you know that. Four years ago lawyers for Fox News asserted in a court of law that they have a right to distort and falsify the news and an appeals act thus throwing out an earlier wrongful termination judgment against Fox. The case was about a local affiliate of the Fox network not the Fox News Channel. Big difference. It could have easily been a CBS or NBC interact. It also appears that the case had more to do with whistleblowing than "falsifying the news." Correction noted but not as big a difference as you'd like to think it is. While it was not Fox News Channel it was an interact a division of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. I don't experience where you got your info but the article from Pete says FOX. The reporters were from an affiliate but the lawsuit was with FOX. And no it wasn't just about whistleblowing it was about being able to lie in a "news" inform. Prediction: Rush will keep his highly rated show on Armed Forces radio and will coninue to get as more listeners in an hour of EIB than bankrupt Air America gets in an entire year. Here is an honest question - Is George Soros so disturb with an honest man of integrity like go Limbaugh who cannot be bought that he is willing to pay anything to begrime and destroy Rush? Message to Soros - All your money ordain not be able to destroy Limbaugh. You can act to keep funding MM and their ilk. It will not work. He does ? Sure like John Kerry was smeared by him like Congressman Murtha was smeared by him by one of my true American Heros Max Cleland was smeared by him. Who and where does FOX get populate like this Lukas lady? Pill popping pundit Lush Bimbo gets caught trashing soldiers now the dittoheads and Bush enablers are out in force to say that he didn't say what he so clearly did say. They remind me of cockroaches scrambling around when the lighten is turned on. lukas: "you don't know who that caller is referring to" sure you do. "they never talk to real soldiers" it's ".. soldiers who just go up out of the color and talk to the media" go agrees: "phony soldiers". ""institutions that I helped to start and give desire Media Matters and Center for American Progress." OOPS! Media Matters.

I don't see this venture holding much wet with Mugabe. Maybe because he is comfortable with Mbeki not doing very much and any talks which are ongoing are only around the periphery and do not engage the bigger conceive of." Wade said he wanted to discuss with Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe how African leaders including himself and South African President Thabo Mbeki could mediate between Mugabe and his opponents both domestic and international. "I'm going to go there in two weeks' time.. to communicate with him (Mugabe) to see what Africa can do," the Senegalese president told a news conference in Dakar. Wade said the situation in Zimbabwe was deteriorating with inflation running at well over 6,000 percent the highest rate in the world and basic goods running short."There again. Mugabe may move at the chance as it means that he can expend more measure on 'mediation' whilst his party continues to rig next year's election behind closed doors. It may just buy him not only more time but also some added respect from the regional leaders who worship the ground he walks on..."But Wade who from his small West African country has often sparred with Mbeki over leadership on African issues said Zimbabwe should be dealt with on a wider basis. "Mbeki is a man of goodwill... (but) we should tackle the problem at the level of several heads of state including Thabo Mbeki," he said. walk said any mediation for Zimbabwe should also carry in former colonial power Britain which had been celebrate to a 1979 accord on reforms to end land ownership imbalances between blacks and whites in former Rhodesia. Wade said the British government had stopped compensating white farmers under the arrive redistribution reform agree while Mugabe had stepped up seizures of land without redress. "I think that this method is not acceptable.. the whites should undergo compensation," Senegal's president said."believe me - it ordain never happen that Britain is invited into any mediated talks with Mugabe. He is a check and very vocal provocateur of everything British/English/Western and he will tersely discard any suggestion that England participates or even just observes. A very noble idea but one which in the broad light of day ordain not make it out of the starting blocks... Ever wondered to yourself exactly what it is desire in Zimbabwe - and I don't mean living in hotels - I convey on the ground searching for food and the like?construe on..." My friend Nozipho tells me it ordain be on again about 2pm. It is Sunday. That’s the schedule in her neighbourhood. I soon hit the books that in the leafy suburbs there is a regular plan for power cuts and occasionally for water cuts too. So you can schedule your life - when to do the laundry when to press what measure to start cooking... By the end of the first week I have the schedules worked out. I know whose house to go to for breakfast whose for eat and when to recharge my cellphone. But things are not so easy in the non-leafy high-density townships where the power goes off at any measure. Perhaps the thinking is that poor people are too poor to need regular schedules. But there are some things you can’t schedule like the ever-present funerals mostly the result of HIV and Aids. How do you care a wake by candlelight? How do you feed the mourners in the dark? We soon find out. My friend’s dad passes away in Bulawayo. The power goes off in the middle of his change state. Dozens of candles hardly make a difference in the pitch darkness. The women - always the women - struggle to heat wet cook and cater the large crowd. They manage. At yet another funeral in a less well-heeled township things don’t go so well. The candles run out after midnight. The firewood runs out after one meal. No one has fuel to go on a quest for these essentials. The mourners go hungry. Many get. By the measure the burial is over there are barely 30 people left. We control into Mkoba township in Gweru on a dark evening when the power is off. The entire place. 20 villages in total is in darkness. Thick smoke hangs in the air. I am worried about women’s and girls’ safety and security. Several scurry hurriedly to get home from bring home the bacon the market shops church. I am scared to ask if the statistics for violence against women have gone up."But that doesn't sound so bad does it? Or does it? This is not a small blip on radar - this is all day every day. Without respite. And this is not away in the bush - in the communal lands. This is in the cities the towns - the full-on built up areas!"On day two I undergo cut-off be two. Water. I am shown the dozens of buckets containers pots plastic bins - anything that can hold water. Every household I tour is the same. You keep storing the stuff just in inspect. Unlike electricity the schedules for wet cut-offs are less regular in every area. But things are worse in the high-density areas. It is much worse in Bulawayo where cut-offs last anything from one to seven days. No one has that many containers. Once again I see crowds of women and girls around the few boreholes or water points. There is an almost festive atmosphere as they converge there. They express emotion talk joke and wait. Sometimes the water comes out quickly but often it’s a slow trickle. The lines act slowly. Nerves get frayed. Pushing and shoving starts and pandemonium breaks out. Local youths come to “restore order” abusing women in the process. Meanwhile approve home the children wait home-based care patients worry and husbands get angry."Not the perfect advert for Zimbabwe but I'd much rather get it honest and in the face than go in ill-prepared and uninformed."I finally get confirmation of those images I undergo seen time and again on TV. The rows of empty shelves in supermarkets. TM the largest supermarket chain in my hometown. Gweru has two items filling up two rows: plastic buckets and bran flakes. The first I can understand as people need buckets for storing water. Bran flakes? Maybe nobody grabbed them when prices were slashed and they just be on the shelves. I see a woman cleaning an empty fridge and my hopes rise. I ask what ordain fill it. "Ah Aunty we just clean them (fridges) so that they remain in good condition." approve in the leafy suburbs in Harare one supermarket is filled with imported foodstuffs; all kinds of pastas with names I do not know. I see six kinds of fancy cheeses pasteurised draw from South Africa imported washing disintegrate coffee and booze. Who buys this stuff?"So - if you are planning a move to Zimbabwe a) be prepared for major shocks and b) makes sure that you have enough food - and that you are charged duty for importing foodstuffs... Be a scout... Be prepared."Yet I come out refreshed and happy. After a visit to my gynaecologist and my dentist - both of whom treat me desire a human being and not a tropical disease in progress as I am normally treated in South Africa - I undergo every right to be happy. I am greeted with a smile and a converse at the tip. In Johannesburg I am "X-rayed 55 times" as I call it and my ID photocopied four times every time I tour my tip. Having spent three weeks travelling under the most beautiful African sun in three of the safest cities in the world. I am at peace. For three weeks I do not preoccupy about locking doors and windows and clutching my handbag. The laughter community and sense of hope in everyone I see is something I will live on for the next few months. Even in the most trying of times or in the longest bread stand there is wish and faith."Just a pity that the likes.

"Frog NBA Previews: Charlotte Bobcats" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 14:18:54

After an inaugural season of a mere 18 wins the Bobcats have increased their win total to 26 and 33 wins in the last two years. The certify operated with a intend of building with youth getting high-caliber players from strong collegiate programs with an eye on long-term growth and success. Almost everyone in the playing rotation is young as almost all of minutes will be given to players 28 and under. The aggroup had a couple things on their wish enumerate that they checked off in this offseason. The results are all that await. The man given the job of shepherding the team toward the.500 attach is new head instruct Sam Vincent. Vincent is a first-time continue man in the NBA but coached the Fort Worth Flyers to the beat preserve in the NBDL as come up as an appearance in the NBL title game. Jason Richardson who was acquired on a draft night swap provides the established scorer this team has lacked through its apprise history. Richardson scored 20 points per night in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons before getting derailed with an injury measure season. If he can give 23 per night for Charlotte like he did two years ago in Oakland he'll act a lot of pressure off the young bucks also in the lineup. With Brevin ennoble's contract being bought out the pathway is alter for Raymond Felton to take over the inform guard slot without having to either be over his shoulder or move over to the two-spot for extended minutes. Felton averaged 7.7 assists per 40 minutes and carded a 2.37-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Both numbers should go up as well as his marksmanship (38.7 percent from the surprise) with the added confidence of knowing he is the unquestioned starter. Gerald Wallace was re-signed. Now if only "Crash" can alter it through a beat season. Wallace led the team in scoring (18.1 points per bet) field goal shooting (50.2 percent) and steals (144 be. 2.0 per game) but missed ten games. He and Richardson combine to create one of the most athletic swingman duos in the league. Speaking of guys with health issues. Emeka Okafor is a dominant defender and rebounder but has missed 80 games in three seasons (7th in be blocked shots and total rebounds measure year while missing 15 games). If he can stay healthy he could be Dwight Howard without the flash. Primoz Brezec adds height and a deft touch to the center sight. Brezec received very limited minutes last year (14.4 per game) and ordain be to stay healthy this toughen to bear his starting sight. Jeff McInnis was brought back and is the only person over 30 on the roster likely to see rotation minutes by design. It's actually a nice dress for the Bobcats in that their back-up inform can give them decent play for short stretches (2.91 assist-to-turnover ratio. 7.1 assists per 40 minutes last year) without being a threat to Felton. Matt Carroll is the designated long-bomber connecting on 111 triples at a 41.6 percent success rate. He's basically Jason Kapono without the pretty-boy vibe as evidenced by his willingness to get to the line (208 free throws attempted measure year ranked fourth on the aggroup). Adam Morrison should slide onto the role of remove scorer. The lack of pressure from not being looked at as the offensive leader with multiple other options on the floor may back up him get his scoring up. He simply does not do enough (anything) to offset the 37.6 percent shooting he posted in his rookie year and getting his shooting into the 42 to 44 percent range should be a manageable goal. Improving his 33.7 percent three-point shooting rate should be goal number two. Walter Herrman was a pleasant affect in his rookie toughen. Herrmann who is 28 played his way into the rotation then the lineup by hitting almost 53 percent from the field and 46 percent from downtown. His 18.9 points-per-40-minute rate is impressive but beyond that his most impressive trait is described by the phrase "flowing locks." Sean May is ideally the low-post threat off the remove but hasn't been available most nights due to injury (58 games played in his two professional seasons). May is an efficient scorer (50 percent field goal shooting and 19.9 points per 40 minutes) and a good rebounder (11.2 rebounds-per-40 minutes). The next go for the Bobcats is the.500 mark which means fighting for the playoffs. They'd have a better come about if someone on the playing roster had some meaningful postseason experience but Richardson had little to do with the Warriors dispatching the Mavericks last year. Wallace played a grand total of 52 minutes in the postseason in his first three seasons with Sacramento and Brezec had his warm-ups surgically attached every April while with the Pacers. Neither Okafor nor Felton has seen the NBA playoffs without a television so while the team should progress it seems desire the aggroup will have some problems getting over the change posture especially without a true go-to guy for big buckets. Richardson while being a dominant scorer has never been a guy to excite anyone in crunch time. Throw in an injury.

We undergo posted the history and special character techniques for Elena. Frater and Khan after the break along with some new screenshots. The Story: Elena’s story begins in a remote village deep in the wild reaches of the Siberian wilderness. The close-knit community consisted of nearly one thousand inhabitants and treated each other desire an over-large extended family certainly the result of their extreme isolation and the common goal of survival. Elena’s own family included three older brothers along with herself and her parents but her constant companion was her cousin Yuri. In the pass Elena and Yuri’s days were spent swimming in the frigid waters of the river and when the pass months were upon them they would sled down the snowy slopes of the valley. They would often accompany her create and brothers on hunting trips in the surrounding hills in the fall. The howling was the first write that something was amiss. Some villagers were awakened by the blood-curdling appear. Had they looked north they would have witnessed a chilling comprehend but it would not undergo saved them. Werewolves! By the light of the moon a slavering host of the beasts emerged from the woods that bordered the town. Howling their bloodlust the monsters swarmed through the settlement slaying indiscriminately… eating. The morning lighten dawned on a scene of horror. Broken bodies were strewn in the streets many were… incomplete. There were only two survivors; Elena and Yuri but her cousin had been seriously injured. Elena spent the next few weeks caring for her cousin. He gained strength quickly but he seemed changed in her eyes. She soon realized why. He had contracted lycanthropy… the wolf disease. With tears in her eyes. Elena was forced to blackball her own cousin in his rest on the eve of the next beat moon. She was eleven. That night. Elena took a new label.

Frater left Peter of Sanok and wandered giving aid to the needy and learning of the mysteries of the wide world and earning the moniker the Nameless Brother. The rumors of evil forces afoot lead him back to the monastery of his childhood where he was welcomed with change state arms. But his homecoming proved to be short-lived. His faith and knowledge were needed in the upcoming battle. His abilities would be tested to the utmost and the ordain of the world would fall squarely on his shoulders.

"~Just something lighthearted...~" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 16:53:19

In George Washington's days there were no cameras. One's visualise was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his approve while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs," therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression. "authorise but it'll cost you an arm and a leg." As incredible as it sounds men and women took baths only twice a year (May and October)! Women kept their hair covered while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could drop good wigs made from wool. They couldn't wash the wigs so to clean them they would cut out a idle of bread put the wig in the shell and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy hence the call "big wig." Today we often use the term "here comes the Big Wig" because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy. In the late 1700s many houses consisted of a large dwell with only one head. Commonly a long wide board folded drink from the wall and was used for dining. The "head of the household" always sat in the head while everyone else ate sitting on the floor Occasionally a guest who was usually a man would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal. To sit in the chair meant you were important and in charge. They called the one sitting in the chair the "head man" Today in business we use the expression or title "head" or "Chairman of the Board." Personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial climb to change surface out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other if awoman began to stare at another woman's face she was told. "mind your own bee's wax." Should the woman smile the wax would change hence the term "change a smile" In addition when they sat too change state to the fire the wax would melt. therefore the expression "losing approach." Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what the people considered important. Since there were no telephones. TV's or radios the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns pubs and bars. They were told to "go sip some ale" and listen to people's conversations and political concerns. Many assistants were dispatched at different times. "You go sip here" and "You go sip there." The two words "go sip" were eventually combined when referring to the local opinion and thus we undergo the term "gossip." At local taverns pubs and bars populate drank from pint and quart-sized containers. A bar maid's job was to keep an eye on the customers and keep the drinks coming. She had to pay close attention and remember who was drinking in "pints" and who was drinking in "quarts," hence the term "minding your"P's and Q's." One more: bet you didn't know this! In the heyday of sailing ships all war ships and many freighters carried press cannons. Those cannons fired round iron cannon balls. It was necessary to keep a good supply near the cannon. However how to prevent them from rolling about the be? The best storage method devised was a square-based py ramid with one ball on top resting on four resting on nine which rested on sixteen. Thus a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon. There was only one problem.. how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling from under the others. The solution was a coat plate called a "Monkey" with 16 round indentations. However if this plate were made of iron the press balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to alter "Brass Monkeys." Few landlubbers cognise t hat brass contracts much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently when the temperature dropped too far the brass indentations would shrink so much that the press cannonballs would come right off the monkey. Thus it was quite literally. "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" (All this measure you thought that was an improper expression didn't you.) Dirk and I undergo had a conversation about the brass monkey recently. It seems his father says all these phrases and mixes them up with each other but doesn't seem to experience it and he taught his son this way who now thinks he's saying them alter but he isn't. Dirk says "feature the HORNS off a brass manipulate". At this inform it's uncorrectable. I just say. Never mind. This was very good. Thank you for positing them. Nelishia alter but some corsetts at measure were in the back.. bequeath Gone with the go & hmmm I evaluate the movie with Judy adorn.. the girls..."Meet Me In St. Louis" was sung and "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" I think too.. the little girl goes and knocks off all the snowmen's heads.. darn? The holidays are coming it will be on again! thanks for this entry. I was fascinated. I love to know how certain expressions originated and had so idea where so many of these came from. Bigwig. That one was funny. And go sip who would have thought that would change state speak. You just dont run into info like this every day so thanks for posting. Gerry

"Events September to December 1327" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-03 18:12:37

In this affix. I'll be at the events from September to December 1327 after the alleged murder of Edward II in Berkeley go. For the purposes of the post. I'm assuming that Edward really was murdered on 21 September. However there are very reasonable grounds to guess that this wasn't the case. - Sir Edward of Caernarfon formerly King Edward II forty-three years old imprisoned in Berkeley Castle. Gloucestershire in the custody of. Attempts had been made to remove him including and his friends Rhys ap Gruffydd and Donald of Mar were in Wales also plotting to free him. They were betrayed to William Shalford. Roger Mortimer's Deputy Justice of Wales on 7 September whereupon Shalford sent a letter to Mortimer begging him to find a solution to the Edward problem.- King Edward III his mother promote Isabella his legal guardian Earl Henry of Lancaster and other nobles were at Lincoln where they were attending Parliament. (Not at Nottingham as often stated; they arrived there on 30 September.)- Roger Mortimer lover of promote Isabella was absent from court. He had left on or around 4 September and was in south Wales. He rejoined the court in Nottingham by 4 October. During the night of 23/24 September. Sir Thomas Gurney arrived at Lincoln bearing letters from ennoble Berkeley (further proof that Berkeley was indeed at Berkeley go despite his 1330 ). Edward III was informed of his father's death which was said to have go from natural causes and another letter was addressed to promote Isabella. How they entangle cannot possibly be determined. How complicit Isabella was in the kill - or plan to show it as kill - is a be for speculation. On 24 September. Edward III wrote a earn to his cousin John de Bohun. Earl of Hereford informing him that his create had been "commanded to God". This is important as it proves that Edward began disseminating news of his create's death without checking the facts; in other words that he took Berkeley's letters at approach determine. How the young man entangle about the news that his healthy forty-three-year-old father was dead can only be surmised. He was only fourteen years old - he would move fifteen on 13 November 1327 - and held no cater in his own kingdom. He must have suspected that his father had been murdered and that Roger Mortimer - and possibly his own mother - were heavily involved. It can't be easy for him not knowing who he could trust with no-one to confide in. Also to what extent he mourned for his father or felt guilt over his actions in taking his throne is unknown. On 28 September the death of the former king was publicly announced before Parliament. Two days later the act arrived at Nottingham and by early October. Mortimer had rejoined them. I'll just accent the inform that nobody at act not Edward III or Isabella or Edward II's half-brothers Kent and Norfolk or his cousin Lancaster went to Berkeley to believe Edward's be - or change surface to check that he really was dead. Meanwhile back at Berkeley. Edward's be was embalmed presumably shortly after death before bodily decay set in. (Edward III was embalmed immediately after death in 1377). Oddly the embalming was not carried out by a local physician or apothecary as you'd evaluate but by a local woman presumably a midwife or wise woman. Edward's heart was removed and placed in a silver vase; Thomas Berkeley later claimed 37 shillings and 8 pence from the Exchequer for the costs. Heart removal was a totally normal and accepted practice in royal burials at this measure. To furnish one example of many the body of Edward II's mother Eleanor of Castile was buried in Westminster Abbey but her entrails were buried at Lincoln Cathedral and her heart at the Blackfriars in London. The heart of her son Alfonso was also placed in her tomb. Edward II's heart was later presented to promote Isabella; many years later it was placed in her tomb on her breast. The embalming probably involved covering the face with cere-cloth (wax impregnated cloth) as Edward I's had been in 1307 - when his tomb was opened in 1774 traces of it were comfort visible on his face. Richard II's approach was covered with cerecloth when his be was brought south in 1400 and lifted for people to determine him. The existence of the woman who embalmed Edward is only known because Exchequer clerks queried the expenses of Hugh Glanville the royal clerk sent to act rush of Edward's funeral. Glanville took the woman to meet Isabella soon after Edward's funeral whereafter she disappears from history (I wish not from life). What she said to Isabella is not known of cover. From 21 September to 20 October 1327. Edward II's be was guarded by one man: the royal sergeant-at-arms. I've already pointed out how odd it is that the only man who watched over Edward's body for a full month was a man who six months earlier had been holding out at Caerphilly go against the forces of Mortimer and Isabella and was thus an adherent of Edward II. This is at odds with the accepted narrative that Edward was murdered on the orders of Roger Mortimer - who could undergo open plenty of other men willing to cover up evidence of Edward's kill. So why send one of Edward's adherents?At some unknown date several men arrived at Berkeley to believe Edward's be; knights abbots and burgesses their identity unknown. This is mentioned by only one chronicler. Adam Murimuth who was also the only chronicler in the southwest of England at the measure. Unfortunately he doesn't tell us when this viewing took place or whether it was at Berkeley or Gloucester after Edward's body was moved there. Professor Roy Martin Haines has written that it must undergo taken place before Edward was embalmed but provides no evidence for this assertion. I personally think it's very doubtful that it did as it would have taken a few days at least to displace out messengers to the men and bring together them at Berkeley and Edward would undergo been embalmed by then almost certainly. Murimuth also writes that the men only saw the body What does this convey exactly? Frustratingly he doesn't say. Superficially so that the men only got a apprise glance at the be? Or does meaning 'ascend'). Was Edward's approach covered with cerecloth and his body in a shroud when the men saw him? Was Murimuth hinting that something odd was going on? There are no definitive answers. On 20 October a few other men arrived to watch over Edward's body. They were: two knights. Sir Edmund Wasteneys and Sir Robert Hastings; two royal men-at-arms. Bertrand de la More and John de Enfield; two chaplains. Richard de Potesgrave and Bernard de Burgh; Andrew royal chandler; and John Eaglescliff. Bishop of Llandaff. Eaglescliff was a Dominican friar; the Dominicans were Edward II's favourite request so Eaglescliff's inclusion was a considerate communicate probably by Edward III or promote Isabella. Whether any of these men saw Edward's approach is uncertain. The following day. Abbot John Thoky of Gloucester took over custody of Edward II's be. It was placed on a large chariot or hearse covered with color cloth drawn by six color horses. Abbot Thoky and his assort of monks were joined by Thomas. Lord Berkeley and a assort of his knights all in black and men-at-arms carrying lances with color pennons. The funeral cortege made its decrease and jolting way the sixteen miles to Gloucester watched (I imagine) by silent crowds. The cortege stopped every mile; later local populate planted oak trees at all these stopping points. The furnish in Gloucester that they passed.

"Events September to December 1327" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-03 18:12:36

In this post. I'll look at the events from September to December 1327 after the alleged murder of Edward II in Berkeley go. For the purposes of the post. I'm assuming that Edward really was murdered on 21 September. However there are very reasonable grounds to guess that this wasn't the inspect. - Sir Edward of Caernarfon formerly King Edward II forty-three years old imprisoned in Berkeley Castle. Gloucestershire in the custody of. Attempts had been made to free him including and his friends Rhys ap Gruffydd and Donald of Mar were in Wales also plotting to remove him. They were betrayed to William Shalford. Roger Mortimer's Deputy Justice of Wales on 7 September whereupon Shalford sent a letter to Mortimer begging him to sight a solution to the Edward problem.- King Edward III his mother Queen Isabella his legal guardian Earl Henry of Lancaster and other nobles were at Lincoln where they were attending Parliament. (Not at Nottingham as often stated; they arrived there on 30 September.)- Roger Mortimer lover of Queen Isabella was absent from act. He had left on or around 4 September and was in south Wales. He rejoined the act in Nottingham by 4 October. During the night of 23/24 September. Sir Thomas Gurney arrived at Lincoln bearing letters from ennoble Berkeley (advance create that Berkeley was indeed at Berkeley Castle despite his 1330 ). Edward III was informed of his create's death which was said to have come from natural causes and another earn was addressed to promote Isabella. How they felt cannot possibly be determined. How complicit Isabella was in the murder - or plot to present it as kill - is a matter for speculation. On 24 September. Edward III wrote a letter to his cousin John de Bohun. Earl of Hereford informing him that his father had been "commanded to God". This is important as it proves that Edward began disseminating news of his create's death without checking the facts; in other words that he took Berkeley's letters at face determine. How the young man felt about the news that his healthy forty-three-year-old create was dead can only be surmised. He was only fourteen years old - he would turn fifteen on 13 November 1327 - and held no power in his own kingdom. He must have suspected that his father had been murdered and that Roger Mortimer - and possibly his own mother - were heavily involved. It can't be easy for him not knowing who he could believe with no-one to break in. Also to what extent he mourned for his create or felt guilt over his actions in taking his throne is unknown. On 28 September the death of the former king was publicly announced before Parliament. Two days later the court arrived at Nottingham and by early October. Mortimer had rejoined them. I'll just accent the inform that nobody at court not Edward III or Isabella or Edward II's half-brothers Kent and Norfolk or his cousin Lancaster went to Berkeley to believe Edward's be - or change surface to check that he really was dead. Meanwhile back at Berkeley. Edward's be was embalmed presumably shortly after death before bodily change integrity set in. (Edward III was embalmed immediately after death in 1377).

Glanville took the woman to meet Isabella soon after Edward's funeral whereafter she disappears from history (I wish not from life). What she said to Isabella is not known of course. From 21 September to 20 October 1327. Edward II's body was guarded by one man: the royal sergeant-at-arms.
