Surrender is NOT an Option - Sign the Petition

clipper's remarks: Sign up and show the Dems how America really feels about defeatism.

Clip Source: www.johnmccain.com

The decision of the Senate made on March 27 to call for a date certain withdrawal from Iraq is nothing more than a guaranteed date of surrender.

It is a refusal to acknowledge the dire consequences of failure, in terms of the stability in the Middle East and the resulting impact on the security of all Americans, whether home or abroad.

Democrats have chosen the politically expedient position of failure rather than putting aside the small politics of the day in the interest of our nation and the values upon which this nation rests.

We the undersigned remain steadfast in our support for the war against terrorism and mindful of the consequences of failure in Iraq, even if Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid refuse to acknowledge those consequences.

Top 5 brain health foods! period

Sun, 22 Apr 2007 12:36:54 GMT

clipped by: mugofcoffee
clipper's remarks: the coffee bean, much like the cacao bean, is incredibly rich with antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Fresh-ground gently roasted coffee bean powder (again, like with cacao) has numerous brain and body health benefits....so folks,now you may drink a MUG OF COFFEE! happily...

Clip Source: www.brainready.com

simple list of the very best, proven natural foods & drinks for optimum brain (and body) health.

1) Wild Salmon

2) Cacao Beans

3) Matcha (Tencha-grade green tea powder)

4) Acai berries & Blueberries (tie)

5) Coffee beans

Wild salmon is not only an incredible food for brain health, it qualifies as incredible across virtually every other health standard as well and is clearly one of the healthiest foods that one can eat.

what's healthy is the cacao bean, minimally processed

When you drink real stone-ground Japanese Matcha, you're not only drinking the arguably highest-quality, most carefully cultivated green tea variety, you're actually consuming it all -- you're eating the whole thing

Acai...a berry

contains Essential Fatty Acids like Omega-3's like salmon, and and is even high in protein.

Ban People — They Kill

Tue, 17 Apr 2007 18:23:45 GMT

The tragic murders of Virginia Tech students, apparently by an insane person, will prompt new attempts to ban private ownership of guns. Once guns are banned, crime will explode. Households and vulnerable members of society will lose the ability to defend, which will invite more intrusions and attacks. Knife crimes will rise as they have in Great Britain.

Gun prohibition will create a new industry for criminals—gun running and black market sales. Police will conduct stings by posing as black market gun dealers and entrap innocent citizens driven by fear and threat to secure means of personal protection.

A large industry of family businesses dedicated to meeting the needs of shooters, who would never shoot at anything but a paper or clay target, will be wiped out. Gun clubs will close their doors. Collectors of valuable Winchesters and Colts, beautiful pieces of Americana, will have to give them up or be at risk of prison sentences.

Crazy ... OCEAN DOME

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 03:54:32 GMT

clipped by: Serendipity3

Clip Source: www.wonderfulinfo.com

What do you think is inside this building?

It's OCEANDOME in Japan

Imagine a beach where the sky is always blue, it's never too hot or cold, the water isn't filled with salt and pollution, and the surf is always perfect - welcome to Ocean Dome, the world's only indoor beach.

Ocean Dome has its own flame-spitting volcano, crushed white marble "sand", and it also boasts the world's largest retractable roof, providing a permanently blue sky. Temperature, wind and humidity are closely controlled to provide an ultra-safe "sea-side" experience.

Every hour, the volcano erupts and the hi-tech wave machines start up, starting a few minutes of sanitized surfing.

Entrance cost is US$50 per person, which seems especially expensive given that there is a free, natural beach only 300 metres away.

Kurt Vonnegut's 8 Rules of Writing Fiction

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 14:22:25 GMT

clipped by: glimbit

Clip Source: www.janeespenson.com

1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.

2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.

3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.

4. Every sentence must do one of two things -- reveal character or advance the action.

5. Start as close to the end as possible.

6. Be a sadist. Now matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them -- in order that the reader may see what they are made of.

7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.

8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

-- Kurt Vonnegut

Beatle 60M$ settlement

Thu, 12 Apr 2007 20:53:43 GMT

clipped by: Fabius_Primus

Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk

The Beatles have agreed a deal with music giant EMI to settle the band's battle for £30m in unpaid royalties.

The agreement could now pave the way for legal downloads of the band's hits.

The settlement ends 18 months of legal proceedings, which began after two years of negotiations.

Neil Aspinall, head of the Beatles' company Apple Corps

oversaw releases like the Anthology series and has been credited with a number of shrewd financial moves.

Mr Aspinall was behind several other legal cases brought on the band's behalf - including the recently settled dispute with Apple Computers over the Apple name and logo.

Last week, EMI said it was still in discussions with Apple Corps over the use of Beatles songs online.
