Barr: GOP says one thing and does another
2008-06-29 14:32:00 From the www.thehill.com Barr: GOP says one thing and does another By Klaus Marre Posted: 06/29/08 12:09 PM [ET] Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr, who has some Republicans worried that he might take votes from their nominee, on Sunday accused the GOP and its standard-bearer Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) of saying one thing and doing another. “What’s wrong with John McCain is symptomatic of what’s wrong with the Republican Party in these first years of the 21st century,” said Barr, a former Republican congressman from Georgia. “They talk one thing but do something different, and that’s become very obvious to the American people.” When asked about his potential role as spoiler, Barr said on Fox News Sunday that, “if [Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.)] wins on November 4th and Sen. McCain and I lose, it will be because he presented a vision and a platform and a candidacy to the American people that resonated with a plurality of...
Is There Such A Thing As A Good Phone Company?

The Thing In The Basement: Conclusion.
2008-06-19 09:20:00 And as I died, I felt something pulling, tugging, dragging at me. I actually felt my soul leave my body. I always thought that would be peaceful, although in this case I didn't expect that too much because I had killed my wife and daughter and was going to Hell, but the Thing had not gotten me, at least.I was sucked out of my body, out of the car, through the house, like a handkerchief through a magician's hand.Into the basement. I was thrown, sucked, tossed into the basement, with all those spirits.I landed in the middle, with those other souls lurching and tumbling around me. People who'd hung themselves in the house with ropes still around their neck in the afterworld. One guy who'd slit his wrists, pale and limp and dragging himself by his elbows with his hands flapping uselessly. All milling around and looking at me, some with a little more vitality than others.I looked around and around, bewildered. We all do, when we first get here. It took me a few moments to realize, an...

The Thing In The Basement (16)
2008-06-16 11:08:00 I saw Melissa, too. I saw the Thing going after her. It held her down and clawed and chewed at her face, shredding and tearing her skin off of her a little at a time.I looked around the room for the Thing as I opened the door. Melissa was only half-turned towards me. Angie had her head buried in Melissa's shoulder. I knew I wouldn't be able to see the Thing, but I thought I might see signs of it, where it was standing, or something. I darted my eyes around and took another step into the room.Angie opened her eyes and saw me. She screamed and wouldn't stop screaming. At that, I heard the rush of blood from the hallway, and felt a wet, cold wash on my feet. I heard Angie screaming and looked around wildly."Where is it?" I yelled. Melissa turned around. I yelled again. "Tell me where it is! Where do you see it?" Melissa yelled something like "see what" but all the things in the room were talking and Angie was screaming and there was the river of blood and my heartbeat and a cackling...
Political courage… and that energy thing
2008-06-09 13:40:00 Interesting questions from Victor Davis Hanson, this morning… Why is the U.N. holding conferences about rising food prices, but not spiraling oil prices that in various ways account for them? Somehow in the globalist mindset the agricultural producing world is more culpable than the non-productive OPEC world. But we should remember that it requires skill, ingenuity, and a certain craft to produce enough food to feed one’s country and export the surplus, and none of the above to pump oil, an accident of nature that it is beneath one’s feet, and, in the case of most of OPEC, a commodity and infrastructure that someone else found, developed and currently mostly maintains. The left.. and in this I include the UN, whose bias toward socialism knows few bounds has always had an anti-oil bias… a self-destructive anti-oil bias. No, perhaps that’s wrong. I wonder if a case can be made, that the left actually has an anti-energy bias? It might explain why alter...

2008-06-09 02:54:00 Oh, the things we trade.The things we trade away.Like a little kid, trading away a Hank Aaron rookie card for someone else because he doesn't like Hank Aaron as much as that other player who doesn't even stick in his memory anymore, never knowing that the Hank Aaron rookie card would have allowed him to live a life of leisure.Okay, that's not my memory. That one was actually my uncle's. That's the only appearance he'll make in this story, though.My family was not one of the things I traded away for anything. They were just not a big part of my life anymore.Or maybe I did trade them away, because I did move away from them. And I enjoyed where I lived. Days like that one day, about two months after David was born. I was driving to work. I'd begun heading into the office a little more in those days, in part because I was busier, in part because I was trying to avoid the house, and what I'd come to think of as The Thing (I didn't really know where it was at that point.

The Thing In The Basement (Five)
2008-06-06 16:47:00 That's what I was thinking about, a few months after we moved in, when we were eating dinner together. We were past the pizza-and-cardboard boxes stage. We were eating dinner, a quick dinner of sandwiches. Melissa was about a month away from giving birth to David and we were sitting in the kitchen. Sometimes I could sit there and be fine.Tonight was not one of those nights. Melissa's back was to the bricked-in wall. I was trying to focus on what she was saying, something about the yard, but I couldn't.The bricks were sliding around.They were rearranging themselves. Remember those little puzzles, with fifteen little squares in 16 spaces, in a square, and you would slide the squares around, one at a time into the blank space, trying to make a picture or word or something? It was like that. The bricks were not all the same color or shade; there were variations. Some were redder, some were more variegated or scratched up.And they were sliding around, rearranging themselves quickly an...
The Thing In The Basement (Four)
2008-06-06 16:29:00 Later on, while I'm lying in my car, before I get sucked back in, before I go back in, when I'm nearly nearly dead but not quite so, just nearly so, but after Melissa was already dead (and she got away, I think but I'm not sure) I heard a song.It was The Good Times Are Killing Me by a group called Modest Mouse.It was on the CD player in the car in the garage. Melissa must have left it in there. She always liked music like that.I was lying there, slowly falling asleep, and listening to the lyrics and thinking "How true."But I didn't die for a while. For a long while, as it turns out.I've ended the suspense, right? You know I die. I told you that in the beginning. Melissa dies, too. Don't worry about that. And Angie dies.You don't know Angie yet. Angie was our baby girl, our daughter. She dies, too, but you'll probably get to know her. If I tell you about her.David didn't die. I don't know why.What the Thing In The Basement Gives, the Thing In The Basement Takes Away, right?...

Weight Loss Can Be A Very Simple Thing
2008-06-05 11:31:00 Shedding extra pounds and maintaining a healthy weight is not that difficult. It all comes down to healthy eating habits. More importantly, it's a committment to make a change in your life. Here are some helpful tips that can help you in your weight loss and new health efforts.Make a commitment to change.Saying it and doing it are two different things. That's why the majority of people don't follow their new diets, because the solid commitment to make a difference is not there. Say it to yourself daily, write it down, live it and believe it. Only this way can your commitment to lose weight and becoming healthier be as solid and as serious as you want it to be.Make sure your goals are realistic.Set goals you must work for but ones that are reachable. Understand you are looking for long term results. Break down your main goal into smaller ones. Go after each small one, one at a time. It's much more effective to go about losing a few pounds a month, then to go about thinking of los...

One thing I love to pray...
2008-06-04 15:06:00 There's a passage in Ephesians that I LOVE to pray over my students and my worship team. Ephesians 3:16-19"I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will give you mighty inner strength through His Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in Him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God." (emphasis added...)Man, that is good stuff.That's a good synopsis of what I want to see God do in my student's lives.I have a post up my sleeve, maybe for this week some time... concerning extended fasting and working out.

I don't think my kittie bros would put up with this Rat Agility thing!
2008-06-02 14:00:00 It's rat agility, and it's real!They have their own equipment, rules, competitions, and more. Here's some info from their website:Rat Agility is much like dog or cat agility only the equipment is rat sized. Fancy or Pet Rats are very affectionate and intelligent animals. They are as far removed from their wild cousins as a wolf is from a dog. Rats can be taught tasks, tricks and behaviors. More and more people are keeping rats as pets so Rat Agility just makes sense. And, (smiling as I write) the equipment for rats is easier to transport and is easier to build and store then the equipment for dogs and cats.I have found, over and over, with many different ratties I have trained to do Rat Agility, that the animals love the equipment, the tasks and the fuss made over them for doing it as well as any treats they may receive....but mostly they love spending time and interacting with their trainer.

TOSHIBA SOURCING LCD TV PARTS FROM TAIWAN, WANTS TO PUT THING UNDER WRAP
2008-05-30 22:36:00 Toshiba has become the first Japanese maker to outsource production of its LCD panels, from Taiwan. The deal is on from last February, but the news has only broken out now. Fishy, no? Toshiba has formally (and finally) acknowledged the fact it is outsourcing LCD panels from Taiwan but has rejected to name the contractor. So, first it did not want to inform the whole world about the outsourcing thing, and now it is hiding the contractor's name as well. Hmm….may be to keep the whole world to keep faith in its products. The sourcing parts clad television sets will hit the US market first and gauging the response the management will roll out its global plan further. Toshiba also is planning a new portable video player during 2010. Don't have time to visit the blog often? Let me send you outsourcing news, views, career tips, analysis, joke, humor, even bitching of the outsourcing world as they are publsihed in BPOTiger. You may subscribe here.
