clipper's remarks: Does Sarah Palin Have a Pentecostal Problem?

A sign for the Wasilla Assembly of God Church in Alaska, left, and Sarah Palin

John McCain's campaign aides could probably answer that question for Palin.

Palin's religious background must initially have been seen as a positive to McCain campaign vetters

since she joined the ticket in late August, the Alaska governor's various religious affiliations have caused headaches.

her pastor at the nondenominational Wasilla Bible Church was connected to Jews for Jesus

Prominent Jewish leaders

demanded to know whether Palin also believes that Jews must be converted.

asked Palin about the church's promotion of a program to help gays "overcome" their homosexuality.

And finally, a videotape surfaced of a 2005 service at the Wasilla Assembly of God Church

[Video]

the pastor complains that "Israelites" held too many prominent positions in business, a comment that has further alienated Jewish voters.

Palin was, if not ashamed, purposefully vague about her churchgoing habits

When the Liberals sound like Labour and the Conservatives like communists, the kaleidoscope has definitely been shaken—but while the pieces are in flux, why do we not reorder this world? What is so wrong about the taxpayer having a seat in the boardroom? Fifty thousand million pounds will buy a chair in any boardroom in the world. It would be taxation without representation, and will run the risk that Mr. Mullin has just adumbrated—that without a Government presence in the boardroom, those habits will soon be reverted to again.

The Chancellor and the Prime Minister have performed admirably and impressively over the last couple of days, but the real test will be how they respond to the crisis in the real economy. The country will not understand if banks can be bailed out but factories can go to the wall, jobs can be lost and the public can lose their houses.

clipper's remarks: Slow reading counterbalances Web skimming
By MARK BAUERLEIN

Clip Source: chronicle.com

What we are seeing is a strange flattening of the act of reading. It equates handheld screens with Madame Bovary, as if they made the same cognitive demands and inculcated the same habits of attention. It casts peeking at a text message and plowing through Middlemarch as subsets of one general activity. And it treats those quick bursts of words and icons as fully sufficient to sustain the reading culture. The long book may go, Price concluded, but reading will carry on just as it did before: "The file, the list, the label, the memo: These are the genres that will keep reading alive."

GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!

Unknown Author

Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it:

Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power

to create conditions in your life.

Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and power packed with faith, hope, love and action.

Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.

Watch your "Thoughts," they become words.

Watch your "Words," they become actions.

Watch your "Actions," they become habits.

Watch your "Habits," they become character.

Watch your "Character," for it becomes your "Destiny."

Which Diet Works Best?

By Michael Roizen, M.D., and Mehmet Oz, M.D.

Raw food? Weight Watchers? South Beach? Eating real food (whole grains, vegetables, lean protein) at regular intervals? If diet indecision has you still eating doughnuts for breakfast, non-whole-wheat pizza for lunch and vowing to pick a program "next week," then you need to know this: It doesn't matter which diet you choose, as long as you enjoy it as much as your favorite iPod tune. When it comes to reaching your weight goals, it is your ability to persist and enjoy the journey that matters.

So don't let the endless weight-loss options give you diet paralysis. Pick a program with a combination of balanced, nutritious eating habits and regular exercise (of course, we're partial to the YOU Diet! That's our easy and tasty version of Mediterranean remade for American and Canadian tastes), and you'll triumph in the game of healthy waist size for life.

Helping Children Develop Their Brain Capabilities

clipper's remarks: The Teaching Post, an online community of teachers, parents and professionals sharing resources, collaborating and learning from one another.

As children grow, they develop their way of thinking, habits and behaviors. Some children, not having a good parental assistance may show development trends that differ from those having good parental guidance.

One of the things that parents could do to help their children in their everyday life is to enhance their mental capacities.

As such, parents can encourage their children to read books.

Children who do such activities on a regular basis can achieve a better logical thinking than those who do not.

Moreover, another brain developing practice for children is memory exercises. Memory exercises are one of the easiest practices for children as they can be done anywhere.

Furthermore, an interesting brain developing activity for children is the use of the least active hand for writing or drawing. Drawing one half of a picture with the most active hand and afterwards completing the other half with the non dominant one can be a good learning option for children. D

Credit Repair After Bankruptcy

Many consumers believe that after filing bankruptcy their financial lives are ruined. One of the biggest myths about bankruptcy is that you can’t get credit for 10 years. The truth is the bankruptcy will generally stay on your credit report for 10 years (unless you are able to get it removed) but you will still be able to start rebuilding your credit immediately.

You can dispute a bankruptcy on your credit report the same way you can any other listing. If you are fortunate enough to get the bankruptcy removed, you will be able to start repairing your credit much easier. However, if you don’t change your spending habits and make some lifestyle changes, removing your bankruptcy will only delay your financial misery and you will be back where you started.

The Seven Habits of Highly Ineffective Terrorists

Most counterterrorism policies fail, not because of tactical problems, but because of a fundamental misunderstanding of what motivates terrorists in the first place. If we're ever going to defeat terrorism, we need to understand what drives people to become terrorists in the first place.

Terrorists, he writes, (1) attack civilians, a policy that has a lousy track record of convincing those civilians to give the terrorists what they want; (2) treat terrorism as a first resort, not a last resort, failing to embrace nonviolent alternatives like elections; (3) don't compromise with their target country, even when those compromises are in their best interest politically; (4) have protean political platforms, which regularly, and sometimes radically, change; (5) often engage in anonymous attacks, which precludes the target countries making political concessions to them; (6) regularly attack other terrorist groups with the same political platform; and (7) resist disbanding, even when they consistently fail to achieve their political objectives or when their stated political objectives have been achieved.

Abrahms has an alternative model to explain all this: People turn to terrorism for social solidarity.

much like the reason inner-city youths join gangs in the United States.

Mother Superior was re-decorating her room at the convent.

Two nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent, and the last
instruction of the Mother Superior is that they must not get even a drop of
paint on their habits.

After conferring about this for a while, the two nuns decide to lock the
door of the room, strip off their habits, and paint naked. In the middle of
the project, there comes a knock at the door.

Who is it?" calls one of the nuns.

"Blind man," replies a voice from the other side of the door.
The two nuns look at each other and shrug both deciding that no harm can
come from letting a blind man into the room, they open the door.

"Nice boobs," says the man, "Where do you want the blinds

10 Prolific Bloggers Share Tips on Generating Conversation on Blogs

Yesterday I gave 13 tips for having great conversations on a blog. As a followup to that I shot an email to a number of bloggers that have a habit of having active comment sections to ask them how they make their blogs more conversational.

As expected - their responses were rich and full of goodness! Here are their responses.

Leo Babauta

“Conversation on Zen Habits is as important or more important than the posts themselves.

Gala Darling

“People always say that you need to start conversations on your blog in order to foster community, but one of the main problems is that some people try to do it just because they think they should —

Duncan Riley

Liz Strauss

Timothy Ferris

Jason Falls

Jeremy Schoemaker

Chris Garrett

“There are three types of conversation that I see on blogs.

John Chow

Lorelle VanFossen

The synergy of like-minds keeps the conversation going.

clipper's remarks: I do hope that the whole organization that is built to monitor the Restaurant Menus will include a cast of thousands. Just how many restaurants are there in Kaleeforniay? What is the penalty for posting incorrect carbohydrates? Can it be possible that civilization has existed for thousands of years without sodium content reporting requirements?

Clip Source: mypetjawa.mu.nu

(Sacramento, California) Gov. Arnold "some-of-my-best-friends-are-conservatives" Schwarzenegger signed legislation (SB1420) into law today to require chain restaurants to post calorie, fat, carbohydrate and sodium content on their menus. A decision on the uniform insignia and color for the Restaurant Menu Police has not been announced.

Oddly, according to President Jot Condie of the California Restaurant Association, nobody knows whether the menu labeling requirement will have any effect on eating habits. It's assumed the government has made a good guess with the new law.

Now there's a motto: California State Government - We Guess Good!
