The Weather in Baghdad and Kabul
2008-06-03 22:50:00 I can be a Weather Channel junkie! We just had a wonderful rain shower and it made our spring flowers perk up big time as we had been dry for a bit! I was cheering for it so I wouldn't have to drag garden hoses around tomorrow to get the vegetable garden some refreshment. While enjoying the cool breeze and listening to the rain fall I had a quick thought! What is the temperature in Baghdad right now? Hmm, according to a weather website it is 88 degrees and it is 11 PM and tomorrow's forecast is for a high of 106! Think of our comforts and ability to adjust the dial of our air conditioning, ceiling fan, opening the window to let in the cool breeze and other methods of cooling ourselves. Then I transition to our men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and think how hot the body armor is, the lack of a place to cool off and the overheated bodies and uniforms in need of a shower and cleaning. Then I jump to a Humvee filled with hot and stressed bodies and then to an airc...

Free Palestine: INTIFADA! ???????
2008-06-01 16:50:00 Image via Wikipediaby http://guerrillaradio.iobloggo.-com/ Intif?da, dall'arabo: ??????? "intervento", "sussulto") è un termine arabo che vuol significare nella fattispecie "rivolta", "sollevazione". Il termine è entrato nell'uso comune come nome con cui sono conosciute due recenti campagne dirette a porre fine all'occupazione militare israeliana in Palestina. L'Intif?da è uno degli aspetti più significativi degli anni recenti del conflitto israelo-palestinese. La prima intifada palestinese risale al 1987, con una diminuzione delle violenze nel 1991 e un totale esaurimento del fenomeno a seguito della firma degli Accordi di Oslo (agosto 1993) e della creazione dell'Autorità Nazionale Palestinese. L'Intif?da di al-Aqsa (nota anche come Seconda Intifada palestinese) indica invece il violento riesplodere del confronto israelo-palestinese allorché, il 28 settembre 2000, l'allora primo ministro israeliano Ariel Sharon e il suo entourage di 1.000 uomini armati, entrarono nel comples...

A Realtor?s Road to Baghdad
2008-04-15 22:43:00 Taking responsibility sometimes requires one to find an alternate path in life. I often hear and read stories about people ?walking away? from their financial obligations and responsibilities simply because it?s not in their best interest to honor them, or it?s simply become to stressful. As a Realtor, I?ve certainly not been immune to the mortgage crises and it?s ripple effect. I?ve found it difficult to refinance my homes at terms I find acceptable, and even more difficult to get my clients into homes that banks will loan them sufficient money on. I?ve concluded that banks don?t really want to loan money right now unless they have to. Fair Lending rules do dictate that when all the hoops are properly jumped through, they must make the loan. They do however keep moving those hoops higher and higher for a majority of Americans. Its times like these that we are reminded of our parent?s warnings ?you?ll need to have something to fall back on?. I still believe in the market, and t...
