Thursday. Tomorrow Ann begins filling in for me. She’s married to Cedric so if you haven’t read your writing before, you should know it’s going to be something. I really appreciate her filling in for me. She’ll be doing it next week and she is so kind she even offered to grab tomorrow because that’s when Elaine and I leave for Hawaii. Okay, I’m not the only traveler. There’s our celebrity in chief, after all. Kenneth J. Theisen grades Barry O’s trip to Russia in ” U.S.

While The Keys to Creativity: How to unlock your imagination and creative potential by Gary Bertwistle is not specifically aimed at hyper-creatives like designers, it is still worth a read. On initially picking up Gary’s book (I found it on a family members bookshelf while I was at their home), my first impression, after a quick flick, wasn’t particularly positive. Still, I ended up borrowing it from the afore mentioned family member and after a full read I discovered some interesting advice, methodologies and tools inside.

When Shuli Gilutz passes her iPhone to her 2-year-old son, she worries ­not about who he might accidentally call, but about what effects the invisible radiation might have on his growing body.Ms. Gilutz, a doctoral candidate at Teachers College at Columbia University, switches her iPhone to Airplane Mode to reduce exposure, just in case. Other parents, perhaps who have seen sites like Truthout.org or faked YouTube videos of cellphones popping kernels of popcorn, worry about the effects of radio waves on their children.

We have talked about some really great bad habits. Let’s assume for a second that your bad habits have failed and now you need to send in a cover letter. Here are some of the worst things you can do in a cover letter: Start the cover letter without a name Don’t bother trying to understand the employer’s problems and needs. Tell them what they need to know. Talk about what you want Leave everything in their hands to contact you. Everyday you can get some lessons in creating a powerful cover letter..

22:00 09.07.2009 Historic, Gigantic Atom Smasher to Be Demolished [Science] Lawrence Berkeley National Labratory’s Bevatron was the world’s largest atom smasher when it was build for $9 million in the early ’50s. Soon, it’ll be reduced to a pile of rubble. The 125,000-square-foot facility was one of the crown jewels of the world of particle physics back then, but at this point its sadly outdated and has outlived its usefulness.

Kurt Nimmo Prison Planet.com Thursday, July 9, 2009 In a revealing interview with the New York Times, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says abortion should be used to control useless eaters and unwanted populations. Ginsberg: “Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” She does not say it like that, but she might as well have.

The simplest answer is yes. If you’re reading this post, you’re more than likely taking a look into joining Max or another MLM company. You’re probably skeptical about the whole ordeal, and hesitant to join. That’s a good thing. That’s smart. You probably think of MLM people as slick-talking, car-salesmen like low-life’s who push their products and junk on you. They make promises of getting rich overnight, quitting your job, and making insane money when they haven’t made anything themselves.

 The Cap and Trade Energy Tax–The Crime of The Century–Crazy Corporate Rent Seeking “…Cutting yourself a bigger slice of the cake rather than making the cake bigger. Trying to make more money without producing more for customers. Classic examples of rent-seeking, a phrase coined by an economist, Gordon Tullock, include: • a protection racket, in which the gang takes a cut from the shopkeeper’s PROFIT; • a CARTEL of FIRMS agreeing to raise PRICES; • a UNION demanding higher WAGES without

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a group of scientists from scores of countries that study the effects of climate change.  Their findings have provided scientific backbone to policy debates about how much carbon emissions should be reduced over how long a period of time to stem the most dramatic effects of climate change.  In other words, they are an invaluable resource to humanity.  This is something that the Nobel Commitee recoginized when it awarded the 2007 Nobel

Lawrence Berkeley National Labratory’s Bevatron was the world’s largest atom smasher when it was build for $9 million in the early ’50s. Soon, it’ll be reduced to a pile of rubble. The 125,000-square-foot facility was one of the crown jewels of the world of particle physics back then, but at this point its sadly outdated and has outlived its usefulness. But back in the ’50s, it earned a Nobel Prize for Emilio Segré and Owen Chamberlain, who discovered the antiproton within a year of the Bevatron’s completion.

The Tennessee Democratic Party announced yesterday that they have hired Keith Talley, former U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon’s press secretary, as their new communications director. Sean Briasted looks at his resume and speculates about why he was selected. Tom Humphrey opines that the TNDP is going on the attack and has hired their own Bill Hobbs. I would tend to believe Sean Braisted’s analysis is closer to the mark, but if Tom Humphrey is correct I think it’s a big mistake for the TNDP.

I live in the DC area and I have a baby boy, so it’s only natural that scientists have now discovered that DC drinking water might be deforming baby boy’s genitals. WOOHOO! I stumbled upon this information when Mrs. Drew told me to read this article in the New York Times by Nicholas Kristof. This is typical. If there’s a piece of information out there that will make parents FREAK THE FUCK OUT, my lady will find it and tell me I have to read it and start worrying about it.

Ginsburg also worked for the ACLU, a front for the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation which cares more about “civil liberties” – code for “equal enslavement” – than constitutional liberties. Current ACLU executive director Anthony Romero is a CFR member and worked for the Rockefeller Foundation AND Ford Foundation . Former ACLU president Nadine Strossen (1991-2008) is a CFR member , as was her predecessor Norman Dorsen (1976-1991). The ACLU has ALWAYS been fronted by CFR globalist NWO scum.

A couple things happened this week got me thinking. The first was when I recieved an email from a friend. The subject line had A MUST WATCH VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!! in it. The email claims the speaker is the new Thomas Paine. The video has gotten close to 4 million hits since it was put on U-tube March 16th. President Obama even called him and invited him to the White House. I have to admit this video is the most informative 6 minutes I’ve spent watching the computer in quite a while.

“Ketchup” is a clever pun that means let’s catch up, and it’s these high octane jokes that keep our number of readers down to myself, Langston, and my Mom. Mom, thanks for supporting all the time I spend on the internet . I look forward to seeing you on Friday when I come out of the basement for the first time in months.

Watching movies on a date: not just a social anxiety crutch!  You can tell a lot about a person and whether or not they’re someone you want to date, from the movies they like, hate, or at least enjoy discussing.  So who is this clown you’re about to stick your junk on anyway?  You deserve to know…unless you don’t care either way, in which case, carry on.

Arsenic sandwich anyone? Mercury soup, deadly nightshade surprise? No? Really? Well, I’m baffled! They’re all natural you know. And as we know, natural is good; natural is pure. Best of all, natural is healthy . Such is the creed that has grown up around natural products. You want to market a new range of face cream –- make sure everyone knows it is natural. You want your expensive new yogurt to sell –- include the word “natural” on the packaging. The word “natural” has become byword for purity, health and goodness.

CNN’s TruTV is currently covering the Brandenton, FL, trial of Thomas Fast , a former mortician . According to commentator Jean Casarez , the judge is pondering whether or not to admit evidence that would reveal to the jury the fact that the defendant is a trained mortician. The reason this is relevant is that the body of the murder victim (his stepmother) was found in pieces. The prosecution would like to let the jury know that the defendant is “anatomically knowledgeable,” so to speak.

This brave GOP congressman is taking on the beast head on. It’s a beginning. It’s also time to stop denying funding to scientists who go against the ipcc view. Luetkemeyer Bill Would Save Taxpayers $12.5 Million, Denies Funding for UN’s Junk Science 07/08/09 WASHINGTON, D.C. _ U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-9) today introduced legislation that would save taxpayers $12.5 million this year and millions more in the future by prohibiting the United States from contributing to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is fraught with waste and is engaged in dubious science.

[See end for "What YOU Can Do"]Dawn Primarolo as UK Government Health Minister misled Parliament in a written answer to Conservative MP Mark Pritchard that Bailey Banks’ successful damages claim in the US Federal Court for an autistic condition caused by the MMR vaccine was “non autistic”, stating Bailey had a “non-autistic development delay”.Now, health minister Mike O’Brien has agreed in a letter to an MP that the ruling referred to a diagnosis of an Autistic Spectrum Disorder.  “Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified” is a category of Autistic Spectrum Disorders which does not fall into any other autism category”.

3% of our DNA codes for proteins. For many years nobody knew what the other 97% was for. Since the 1970’s, that other 97% that wasn’t understood has been called “Junk DNA.” (If I only had a dollar for every guy who has sent me an email that said, “OK Perry, then if DNA is designed how come 97% of my DNA is junk? Huh? Answer me that!!!”) Today’s hypothesis is very simple: There is no such thing as “Junk DNA.” I will even go so far as to say the term “Junk DNA” is a piece of anti-intellectual, anti-scientific slander that has obstructed scientific progress for three decades now.

He’ll be helped along with his plan by the Easter Bunny, while flying unicorns will deliver him to future climate change meetings. He would’ve promised world peace and the creation of a tonic for immortality but he didn’t want to seem too ambitious in his first six months. President Obama and other leaders backed historic new targets for tackling global warming last night in an agreement designed to pave the way for a world deal in the autumn.

The Post-Dispatch has more on the ridiculous press release from Blaine Luetkemeyer we flagged earlier today , in which Blaine calls for the US to cut funding for the United Nation’s climate change research panel. The panel in question, which included hundreds of scientists from more than 100 countries,  famously authored a series of reports two years ago concluding that global climate change is “very likely” to have a human cause.

Rep. Blaine LuetkemeyerWASHINGTON — Missouri Republicans are in the thick of the Washington fight to defeat global warming legislation, and Rep.

Blaine Luetkemeyer is directing his environmental ire at the United Nations.Luetkemeyer, elected last year to represent parts of mid-Missouri and St. Charles County, has authored legislation that would cut funding to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.According to Luetkemeyer, taxpayers are poised to give $12.5 million this year to the

CHAPTER ONE We go on—because it is the hard thing to do. And we owe ourselves the difficulty. —Nikki Giovanni My name is Ashley Asher. That’s right, go ahead, and laugh. Apparently, my parents thought it would be “cute” to make my first and last names nearly identical. My family and friends call me Ash. My mother calls me by my first and middle names, Ashley Nicole. Her husband, Charlie, thought he was real clever and called me Ash-Hole. I’m fifteen years old, and I live in Patience, Texas, an East Texas town of about 3,000 people.

Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer has seen all those scientific reports about global warming and climate change, and he’s had enough!  The solution?  Cut funding for the UN’s Climate Change Panel to get rid of all those silly scientists. You know, the group that produced the most “definitive statement on global warming” to date. What the f*** do they know anyway? U.S. Rep.

I get pitches all of the time from PR people and ad agencies. Most of the time, the pitches suck. Sometimes the only salutation is “Hi!” and there has been a time or two when someone else’s name was after “Hi”. Sometimes I get stuff that looks cool or is a something that I think others might be interested in but I’m not willing to spend an entire post on it. So, this is a link post of sorts.

The Times of London online are doing their best to cover up the very fat, very rich, very loud mouth of Al Gore. He recently compared the battle of climate change to the battle against the Nazis, which killed more than 6 million Jews. Climate change has killed…hold on…calculating…0. His ignorant statement, which follows a myriad of other ignorant statements, it getting bleached from the Times of London online .

If, like me, you are relatively green when it comes to writing novels, you’ll find that your brain is not yet willing to work with you through the hard times, and has to be coaxed, cajoled and occasionally threatened into cooperating.As Thomas Edison said, “genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”, and never a truer word was spoken.  All the good ideas in the world will go nowhere if you don’t have the perseverance to keep going until the end.Procrastination usually sets in around the point

Shutterstock Images A book review of  The Denim Diet in The Toronto Star last week titled, “Denim banishes weight-loss blues ” had me a little worried for a minute! Here’s how Megan Ogilvie , a health reporter, starts out: DIARY — DAY BEFORE: Oh, no. Yet another diet book with scarily skinny sexy cartoon of a woman splashed on cover. When will “Barbie” figure – massive bust, teeny waist, impossibly long legs – go out of style? The Denim Diet ’s presentation makes it look trite, full of fluff and geared to supermodel wannabes.

By Joseph N. DiStefano In a world in which SUV factories, derivatives-trading floors, and home-loan offices are idled, and the economy they inflated is broken, some Wall Street investment bankers are seeking new lives as alternative-energy deal-makers. Meet Jeffrey A. McDermott. He grabbed his M.B.A. at UCLA and headed off to build his fortune. It was 1984, and a lucky time to start. He joined Drexel Burnham Lambert, home of Michael Milken’s manic junk-bond shop. Moved to Smith Barney, to work the global merger boom.

Ivory Skies is a rather elegant t-shirt label offering a unique twist by combining ancient designs, emblems, talismans as it were, with ultra modern designer cuts. It’s a new angle in the market as far as I am concerned and this British (London) based company have put a great deal of research in to what they do, be it source materials or their choices of tees for printing.

By Boogie Brown – When I was a young lad (today, I’m a full grown leprechaun), my beloved psychotic aunt would often take me to the Liberty Science Center, a hands-on, interactive playground of a museum that purported to make learning FUNdamental. At the center of LSC stood this impressive structure made up of coiled metal, wooden chutes, pulleys, wires, and brass metal balls. It was a Rube Goldberg machine according to the handy placard beside it.

Imagine we construct a craft, and make a voyage out into the stars and encounter an alien civilization.  Knowing nothing about them, we watch and observe them from the skies, using stealth technology, and catalog their behavior. First we encounter a large structure they’ve erected into the air and along the top we find some sort of symbol.  We covertly enter the structure, hovering in their midst, but invisible, and watch them.  We see them huddled up within the building, walking in circles, grunting.  We watch as they seem to be taking turns dipping their heads into a pool of liquid, and then they roll on the ground.

When he’s not busy creating the Internet, Al Gore likes to spend his time with bat guano insane analogies like this : Al Gore today compared the battle against climate change with the struggle against the Nazis. The former US Vice President said the world lacked the political will to act and invoked the spirit of Winston Churchill by encouraging leaders to unite their nations to fight climate change.

Look, I’ll just be honest with you: I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around a new research study. A new study published in Social Science & Medicine says that parents who are trying to eat healthily as good role models may as well pack it in. That’s my interpretation, anyway. To be more precise, the study looked at 2,291 parents (aged 20 to 65) and 2,692 children (aged 2 to 18) in the U.S., and found little similarities between their diets.

Academia in the United States has long been dominated by the left, creating “free speech codes” on campuses that only protect the kind of speech with which they agree.They control the clear majority of news outlets in this country — a situation that began during the Vietnam War.

Alternate title: Wisdom from a Colorful Bag of Snack CrackersOne of the great benefits of being a coach is having the tremendous insight to realize the importance of hiring one’s own dynamic, empowering, creative, transforming, kind and loving coach. (Okay, sometimes the insight comes after specifically being told that it would benefit you both professionally and personally, but that’s another story for another day — it’s title: “Stubborn.”)As I suspect almost all coaching calls have in common, my coach and I talk about what’s important to me at the moment, she asks powerful questions, I consider them and we discuss and relate.

Get Your Bona-Fides Obama A lot is made of the fact that President Obama & his administration is considered somewhat unfriendly to Israel. Ya, sure Jewish Democrats deny it but they are certainly not fooling us Israelites very much. But there are ways to show the love.
