clipper's remarks: Man made global warming is as honest a concept as Obama's statements that he is not close to Ayers or Rizko or Wright, and that he has nothing to do with ACORN voting fraud.

It's all a pack of lies generated by liberals for political power.

A record cold snap in Mendocino County over the weekend caused little damage to wine grapes but chilled the hearts of farmers who already have suffered huge losses this year.

Temperatures dropped to 31 degrees in the Ukiah Valley on Saturday night and early Sunday morning, the coldest Oct. 12 morning since record keeping began in Ukiah in 1893, said Troy Nicolini, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Eureka. The previous record was 34 degrees in 1916.

Farmers in Redwood Valley and other cooler regions in Mendocino County reported temperatures as low as 27 degrees.

Area grape growers are expect to finish harvesting in the next two weeks, sooner if the weather turns cold again.

Will the Real Barack Obama Please Stand Up

clipper's remarks: Stanley Kurtz, a reporter for National Review Online, has written and extensive article outlining the Wright, Ayers, Obama triangle. The entire article which amounts to about 7 pages when printed goes into great detail recording the relationship between these men and others.

When you fully understand Barack's influences and his mentors then it is very easy to understand where Barack is coming from in his outlook on life in America.

Being under the tutelage of these influential people in his life certainly influences his world view.

Take time to read the whole article and by all means FACT CHECK it to your hearts delight I double dog dare you.

Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Rev. Wright’s anti-Americanism

It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright’s sermons, Obama gave legitimacy — and a whole lot of money — to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright. And guess what? Bill Ayers is still palling around with the same bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago. All this is revealed by a bit of digging, combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the education foundation Obama and Ayers jointly led in the late 1990s.

The fact that Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Wright’s anti-Americanism means that this is now a matter of public policy, and therefore an entirely legitimate issue in this campaign.

clipper's remarks: A Bush strategist says McCain knew Palin is unqualified

Clip Source: www.huffingtonpost.com

Dowd proclaimed that, in his heart of hearts, McCain knew he put the country at risk with his VP choice and that he would "have to live" with that fact for the rest of his career.

"[McCain] knows, in his gut, that he put somebody unqualified on the ballot. He knows that in his gut, and when this race is over that is something he will have to live with... He put somebody unqualified on that ballot and he put the country at risk, he knows that."

Time columnist Joe Klein summed up what seemed to be the panel's Palin consensus.

"It was a gimmick," he said of the pick. "It was one of the most disastrous decisions I have seen in a presidential campaign since I've begun covering them."

To me it is like Halloween," he said. "You get energized by eating all that candy at night but then you feel sick the next day."

Cholesterol: Good, Bad, What to Do

clipper's remarks: Information on Cholesterol

Clip Source: juvenon.com

By Benjamin V. Treadwell, Ph.D.

Cholesterol! The word strikes fear into the hearts of many Americans. Popular press and TV have dumbed down the basics of cholesterol:

High total cholesterol is associated with heart attack and stroke.

The LDL (low density lipoprotein) form is bad.

The HDL (high density lipoprotein) form is good.

Healthy Cholesterol Levles Aren't Quite That Simple

This month we highlight once again a study of the powerful antioxidant alpha lipoic acid. Among the general population, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials, with human subjects, are perhaps the most widely known form of healthcare testing. Studies in laboratory animals are even more extensively used by pre-clinical scientists. To understand fundamental biochemistry, however, scientists often use cell cultures.

Stop Wasting Your Vote on Democrats and Republicans (If You Truly Want Change)

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:13:16 GMT

clipped by: sahara
clipper's remarks: Voting is a very personal thing. What is right for me may not be right for you. It is something that we should all use our best judgment when doing. But it seems to me to be a waste to vote for a Republican or a Democrat and then expect anything to change for the better. There is an old adage that says something to the effect of if you keep trying the same failed solution to the same problem, you´ll get the same results. In fact, doing that is one definition of crazy. The time has come to shake up the establishment. A vote for a third, forth, fifth or sixth party candidate is not a wasted vote. I believe the majority of Americans in their hearts know this to be true, they just don´t seem to be able to let their brains act upon it. Hopefully, this can change.

I still believe that most third parties are significantly better (at least in some respects) than either the Democrats or the Republicans. It´s sad to think that a hundred million or more votes are going to be wasted on men like Barack Obama and John McCain who obviously couldn´t care less about the foundations this country was built upon. It´s insanity to keep electing these same party politicians over and over again and expect to get different results.

It is well past time the stranglehold this duopoly has on the nation was broken and someone else got the opportunity to lead. The change that this nation needs will not come from the establishment candidates who simply pay lip service to the concept of change. Perhaps the change needs to come from the people. We must be the change we seek. To help accomplish this, we need to change the types of people we vote into office. Unfortunately, I don´t foresee the vast majority of Americans suddenly becoming enlightened.

he Temple Institute (in Hebrew, Machon HaMikdash), founded in 1987, is a non-profit educational and religious organization located in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. The Institute is dedicated to every aspect of the Biblical commandment to build the Holy Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. Our short-term goal is to rekindle the flame of the Holy Temple in the hearts of mankind through education. Our long-term goal is to do all in our limited power to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time. Thus, the Institute's efforts include raising public awareness about the Holy Temple, and the central role that it occupies in the spiritual life of mankind. The many areas of activities conducted by the Institute combine research, seminars, publications, and conferences, as well as the production of educational materials.

The major focus of the Institute is its efforts towards the beginning of the actual rebuilding of the Holy Temple.

Over 65 and living with depressiom

Seniors are healthier, more affluent, more independent and living longer than ever before.

We do our elders a great disservice by clinging to stereotypes of them as a burdensome army of aging, sickly patients with bad hearts, cancerous tumours, weakening bones, bothersome bladders and faltering memories.

Far too many seniors struggling with mental illness remain isolated, lonely and disabled. And according to new research released this week, most aren't getting the help they need.

About one in five people over the age of 65 living in the community suffer from diagnosable mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia - about the same rate as the general population.

But the data exclude residents of nursing homes, retirement homes and long-term-care facilities, where rates of mental illness range from 40 to 90 per cent.

Reaching out for help when you are depressed is difficult at the best of times, but seniors face additional barriers.

B16 on children's media

Children exposed to what is aesthetically and morally excellent are helped to develop appreciation, prudence and the skills of discernment. Here it is important to recognize the fundamental value of parents’ example and the benefits of introducing young people to children's classics in literature, to the fine arts and to uplifting music. While popular literature will always have its place in culture, the temptation to sensationalize should not be passively accepted in places of learning. Beauty, a kind of mirror of the divine, inspires and vivifies young hearts and minds, while ugliness and coarseness have a depressing impact on attitudes and behaviour.

Mexico City’s air pollution may be undermining neural and mental functioning in some children

Mexico City wears a thick coat of air pollution that clogs lungs and takes a toll on hearts and blood vessels. But that’s just the beginning — the metropolis’s dirty air may have contributed to brain inflammation and intellectual deficits in at least some school-age children, a new study suggests.

Among healthy children aged 7 to 18, lifelong Mexico City residents scored lower than their peers from Polotitlán — a Mexican city with low levels of air pollution — on tests of memory, flexible thinking, novel problem-solving skill and the ability to monitor and change one’s behavior during challenging tasks, scientists report in an upcoming Brain and Cognition. These tests make up part of standard IQ measures for school children.

'Opus' coming to an end

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed is retiring, leaving a hole in the Sunday funnies and the hearts of "Opus" fans.

The last strip featuring the beloved, large-beaked penguin will run in about 200 newspapers nationwide November 2. Breathed announced Monday he's calling it quits after a comics career that has spanned nearly 30 years.

Amy Lago, comics editor of The Washington Post Writers Group, said Breathed will pursue other interests, such as writing books and screenplays.

The writers group unveiled his "Bloom County" strip in 1980; he went on to win the Pulitzer for editorial cartooning in 1987. He ended that strip in 1989 and the same year began the Sunday-only strip "Outland," which he quit in 1995. In 2003, he launched "Opus."

This Sunday's strip will include a contest in which Breathed asks readers to guess the penguin's fate. Details on how to participate are not being released ahead of time. The answer will appear online after the last "Opus" runs next month,
