Hollywood...and all that

I truly am :
sorry to see the trouble Mel got into...somehow I have a feeling it was just the booze, 1.2 does not sound too bad but probably sufficient to do him in.
I would like to help him if I can with a small but true story about a fellow who got stoned and because of his big mouth ended up with a fine and two weeks behind bars.

His stupid drunken utterance was something like - hey you are one of those that Hitler forgot to send to the gas chamber- I know for a fact that under normal circumstances this fellow would first of all never say anything that stupid and second he really does not believe it in the first place. He was drunk, somebody rubbed him the wrong way and he ended up with this comment and paid the price for it.

I do not know actor Mel Gibson, but I doubt somehow that he meant the nonsense he blabbert...

This War Businmess

I suppose President Regan should have dealt with this Hezbollah scene 23 Years ago. He did not. Or better, he did make a decision and his then Secretary of War stopped the action. Unbelievable but that's what happened.
I'm deeply disturbed by the loss of these poor children, they deserved better than to die in this horrible mess.


Mr. President Jimmie Carter , President prior to Mr. Reagan, should have dealt appropriately with Iran, the Embassy Hostages Affair;

Reagan as well should have insisted on completing what was decided after several hundred marines were blown away instead of having Kaspar W. Interfere in it.

From this point of view and where we find ourselves today?
Lebanon the only sort of working Democracy in the region is being ripped apart.

I'm almost ready to congratulate Mr. Bush on his continued efforts to resolve the situation...Somehow and with the assistance and incredibly courageous participation of Israel.
....Where do we go from here?

And among us..

So;
time and time again like a little child I am puzzled and at the same time amazed at the increadible mean-ness of people...why would someone write this absolute crap about me?
Should I be upset? Amused? Puzzled? If I were a shrink I would want to figure out just what kind of an idiot is producing this totally pointless nonsense.
I guess in the end it does not matter, this world has more to worry about than stupid personal insults.

Inside, outside..And among us..

Quite frankly....I am a little puzzled about a news item I just picked up from the radio, while driving:

About 40,000 Canadians are looking to the Canadian Federal Government to bring them home. Apparently they are stuck in Lebanon and have no way to get "home"...

This is either a mistake, or the numbers are wrong or something is seriously wrong with this scene, unless of course there are that many Canadians of Lebanese extraction visiting Lebanon at this time. I doubt it.

Sounds to me like these unfortunate Canadians are looking at a dual citizen situation and for the time being they could just be out of luck. Can't blame the state for their inability to come to the rescue...Just too many and something makes no sense.

¡ Hola Amigos! Los Presidentes Americanses..

Today, a fact:
5% of the world population ( actually a bit less) that is 280 Million Americans, are using

25% of the worlds energy resources.
US population estimated at somewhere between 280 and 300 million; world population 6.5 Billion, somewhere in that range.




other interesting bits:-

G8....now includes Russia...sort of..I think; population 145 million, and shrinking.

Venezuela, oilrich, has the highest murder rate of any country in the world,
Nigeria, oilrich, is considered one of the most corrupt countries in the world,

Saudy Arabia, here is a joke...oilrich and one of the most repressive countries in the world.The so called royal family there is now up the about 8000 rich and highly privileged results of the countries founder who made himself king, Ibn Saud...

I'm actually not sure at all where I think I'm going with this and of course all this information is from bits and pieces off the daily tube..CNN/NBC/ABC/Fox/CTV/CBC/CBS/BBC...

¡ Hola Amigos! ..

At the invitation of Chancellor Angela Merkel, President Bush will travel to northeastern Germany in advance of his participation in the G-8 Summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. Chancellor Merkel will host President Bush on July 13, 2006 in the towns of Stralsund and Trinwillershagen, which are in the Chancellor's electoral constituency. The visit, which will take place in what had been communist East Germany, will underscore our two nations' commitment to advancing freedom and prosperity, and to strengthening the transatlantic partnership. The two leaders look forward to discussing a wide range of global challenges, in particular continuing their consultations on Iran and preparing for the G-8 Summit.

What’s in a Multivitamin?
It’s easy to pop a vitamin every day. It’s one of the less labor intensive steps in taking care of your health. But do you know what’s going on inside that pill? All vitamins are definitely not created equal. This means that there’s a decent chance that the $4 bottle bought from xxo might not stand up to a $30 bottle from a health food store, but it may also mean that the more expensive brand is all hype and no substance.

Vitamin A. Avoid preformed vitamin A (retinol). Taking 5,000 IU of retinol — often listed as vitamin A palmitate or acetate — a day has been shown to increase the risk of losing bone density and breaking a hip. It may be difficult to find a multi without preformed A, so at least try to limit your intake: If the label reads "vitamin A as beta-carotene," that's okay. Beta-carotene and other carotenoids, which the body converts to vitamin A, won't harm your bones.

B vitamins. Your multi should have 50 mg each of most B vitamins, except for folic acid (at least 400 mcg) and B-12 (at least 50 mcg). If you’re taking a multi with only the “Daily Value” for most B vitamins, an additional B-50 B-complex supplement is necessary.

Vitamin D. Check for at least 400 IU of vitamin D, or 100 percent of the Daily Value. Weil also encourages everyone to supplement with at least 1,000 IU of D a day, the amount shown in recent studies to greatly reduce the risk of breast, colon, and ovarian cancers. If your multi provides only 400 IU, you should take an additional vitamin D supplement to make up the difference. Look for products with the D3 (cholecalciferol) form of vitamin D, which is more readily utilized than D2 (ergocalciferol).

Parsley
is traditionally relegated to a mere garnish, but the herb has so much more to offer. Firstly, the leafy green is an excellent natural breath freshener. While mints and gum simply cover potent breath, parsley treats halitosis (or the aftermath of a garlicy dinner) from the inside out. Parsley comes in several varieties — Italian and flat leaf are the most popular — and is also an excellent source of calcium, iron, and Vitamins A and C. Parsley is also known for its volatile oils — myristicin, limonene, eugenol, and alpha-thujene — which may be linked to a the prevention of several cancers and also give the herb the title of "chemoprotective" food. Parsely can neutralize certain carcinogens ike the benzopyrenes that are part of cigarette smoke, charcoal grill smoke (see The Side Effects of BBQ), and the smoke produced by trash incinerators.According to this month’s Natural Health, several studies have found that parsley may also reduce blood sugar in diabetics, prevent stomach ulcers and act as a diuretic.

¡ Hola Amigos! ..

perfect summer wear, painted on..just had to give it a second look, not sure this works equally well for the lower part of a matching outfit...

They...

.....They're doing it again...
Funny thing, I've been hearing the same excuse or complaint for years. Many years. They're ( not there, no).
They are doing this, that and the other, in most cases they are doing no good. Right now they are doing the football or soccer thing...And I would not be surprised if the Germans, this time would stay with it til the end. And then they will do it all over again in four years, kind of like the Olympics. But not quite. The American eagle thing has nothing to do with it.

This and that...

...now what?
The scanner screwed up, must reload the software...compupicSPic software screwed up, reloaded, oldpaidforversion no longer available, some squirly intelligencesetting got lost...and so it goes. I'm afraid to hook up the newer machine to the net, I think I just keep it clean fo the businessaccountng and spanglish lessons.
7 jerks arrested in Miami Florida, looks like the FBI provided the fake AlQuida connection.
Not sure about these home spun terrorists, there is a long history of these types here and elsewhere...I recall the so called Bader Meinhoff gang some years back in Germany.
I believe they all went to jail..heard nothing about it for years. These were nice and proper young Krauts, well educated living the good life whatever possessed them to play neonazi is beyond my comprehension.

Orlando

the weatherpixie thing is a test to see how it works...can't figure ouut where to put it...

World troubles....

...mad cows? heck no they are not mad, as Kat would say they are just disappointed..

Kat has a bit of a T shirt printing business as part of her ikoditit.com thing..she is looking for interesting cow pictures, the picture here is something I snapped, copy it if you like, no credit needed, do what you want with it unless of course the cows object, no bull...really..

World troubles....learned nothing

I hesitate using the word war...I seldom get angry ...But, and I suppose it's a good thing that this fellow Al Zar-chickenshit is no longer among the living, can't even recall his name and I hope they don't make a martyr out of him.
Nevertheless, when I see a picture of dead children and the comments collateral damage, well:

I get angry.
I have contemplated long and hard, should I copy this picture . It has been on the tube-news often enough. Then I decided, yes, bring it on, one more time. This is far more vulgar than anything else I can think of.

I still have clearly in my head a picture of two farmers haywagen loads of dead German soldiers. They were not Nazis, just kids drafted for the so called defense of the fatherland by an insane dictator. I was just 7 years old when I stood in front of these 34 young men,young boys some of them stuck in ill fitting uniforms, bloodied bodies limbs missing in a backwoods little village in Franken, Germany.

The picture of these little kids in Iraq evoke a similar feeling, this time caused for far less good reason, but by soldiers of the same supposedly freedom loving nation, two generations later in another foreign land.

I believe this piece of poorly crafted junk was sent to me from Italy, fraud has really gone worldwide international. I receive these things daily and I suppose I've won unclaimed multimillions by now.

I usually forward this stuff to info@phonebusters.com they in turn send me an acknowledgement to have received it and that's about it.
More recently one of these superlotto things came from Sachsenlotto supposedly a German Lotto thing. Indeed this outfit exists, the numbers were correct but even this rich lotto outfit did not bother with a reply when I took the time to inform them of this nonsense.
Well here we go for what it's worth..Not sure what exactly the pay off is, either a so called agent wants a handling fee or it is in fact an effort toward identity theft.

the lovely and pieceful balloon scene has absolutely nothing to do with the text....just a pretty picture ....

And among us..

MAN against the elements-man against himself- man against nature, raping of the earth, like burning down the rain forests-useless waste of energy, resources that should be reserved for future generations-the anticipated bird flu-ongoing srewup in Iraq, war?- criminal elements living among us-the criminally insane-global warming-unacceptable behalvior by other earthlings and who knows...Possibly my own.

These are some of my concerns and I know I rambled on a bit. Population explosion in parts of the world and decline in the western hemisphere at the same time...And most of all the continued spread of what they like to call terrorism. And this so called terrorism used by some governments to unrelated idiotic actions like Iraq.

Inside, outside..And among us..

We are a target because of who we are and how we live, our society, our diversity and our values," Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in Ottawa.
"Their alleged target was Canada: Canadian institutions, the Canadian economy, the Canadian people."
Harper also praised the agencies involved in identifying and arresting the suspects.
"Today, Canada's security and intelligence measures worked," Harper.

Canada......At war...

Canada at war....And terrorism implications...Afghanistan..



Terrorism accused 17 charged with acquiring bomb-making materials Jun 3, 2006
Twelve men accused by the RCMP of terrorism-related offences remain in jail awaiting an appearance in court.
RCMP officers announced at a news conference that the 12 have been charged with a number of offences.. Five youth have also been charged.
“This group took steps to acquire three tonnes of ammonium nitrate and other components necessary to create explosive devices,” alleged RCMP in a release. “To put this in context, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people took one tonne of ammonium nitrate.”
The charges include: participating in or contributing to the activity of a terrorist group, including training and recruitment; the commission of indictable offences, including firearms and explosives offences, for the benefit of or in association with a terrorist group; and, providing or making available property for terrorist purposes.
