The Slaughter of Kathryn, Connor and Cameron Maxwell

In Fayetteville, North Carolina a community is trying to figure out why 47 year-old William Maxwell, a real estate developer and devout Christian murdered His wife Kathryn, son Connor 17 years-old and daughter Cameron all of 15 years-old before turning the gun on himself.

It is beyond human understanding why anyone would slaughter their entire family, especially someone with close ties to the community

Pastry Chef Schools

clipper's remarks: To me there aint nothing a nice as a fine pastry. Would be a cool career to check out.

Learning how to become a pastry chef is not as easy as it sounds. There is a lot more to it than simply opening a box of cake mix from the grocery store and creating little icing flowers on it. However, a strong love of cooking and baking is a requirement for the budding pastry chef. After all, you cannot truly dive into your work if you do not have an interest in it. Learning to be a pastry chef is no different in that respect.

The very first step to going to pastry chef school is research. Any type of formal education can be an expensive proposition, but not doing you due diligence beforehand can be detrimental to your pocket book. There are many fine culinary schools across the country such as the International Culinary Schools at the Art Institute. There are locations in most major cities across the United States.

Russian breathing technique offers help for people with asthma

clipper's remarks: Click through for the full article, which describes the technique.

Have you ever noticed that "asthma" is one of those words that looks misspelled no matter how you spell it?

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

I don’t often write about alternative remedies for serious medical conditions. Most have little more than anecdotal support, and few have been found effective in well-designed clinical trials.

Now, however, in describing an alternative treatment for asthma that does not yet have top clinical ratings in this country (although it is taught in Russian medical schools and covered by insurance in Australia), I am going beyond my usually stringent research criteria for three reasons:

¶The treatment, a breathing technique discovered half a century ago, is harmless if practiced as directed with a well-trained therapist.

¶It has the potential to improve the health and quality of life of many people with asthma, while saving health care dollars.

¶I’ve seen it work miraculously well for a friend who had little choice but to stop using the steroid medications that were keeping him alive.

Treating the pain epidemic

Chronic pain affects more than 70 million Americans, which makes it more widespread than heart disease, cancer and diabetes combined. It costs the economy more than $100 billion per year. So why don’t more doctors and researchers take it seriously?

That is the challenge raised by a new report from the Mayday Fund, a nonprofit group that studies pain treatment. The report, which been endorsed by an array of medical groups, advocates a revolution in the training of doctors, the financing of research and the education of law-enforcement officials.

“The fact is that people aren’t getting competent and cost-effective treatment for chronic pain,” said Dr. Russell Portenoy, one of the co-chairmen of the panel that prepared the report.

“Don’t assume that your doctor knows what to do to treat your pain,” Dr. Zeltzer advised patients.

She and the other members of the panel urged better pain-management training in medical schools and more money for pain research

Goldman Sachs Get Priority Access to H1N1 Vaccine

clipper's remarks: Why?

Clip Source: act.credoaction.com

This is beyond outrageous. Pregnant women and children with respiratory problems struggle to get access to scarce doses of the H1N1 vaccine. But according to NBC News, bankers at Goldman Sachs enjoy a stockpile of 200 doses of the vaccine -- the same as allotted to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York

With hospitals, schools and community health clinics in desperate need of the H1N1 vaccine, it's unconscionable that Wall Street can just cut in line and secure scarce doses for bankers.

Goldman Sachs received over $1 billion in taxpayer bailouts during the financial meltdown. But that's not all. It was the single-largest recipient of taxpayer money in the AIG bailout, receiving almost $13 billion once AIG's positions were unwound.

And now, analysts predict Goldman Sachs could give its bankers as much as $23 billion in bonuses, while the rest of country struggles through the jobless "recovery."

The Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3) aims to ensure that all schools are free from hazards associated with mismanaged chemicals. SC3 gives K through 12 schools information and tools to responsibly manage chemicals.

Everyone from school administrators to chemical suppliers can help. Many successful chemical management programs involve a variety of partners that can include state, tribal and local environmental and health agencies, school district personnel, industry, waste handlers and universities.

The U.S. EPA is building a network with others who care about this issue to raise national awareness of the potential chemical dangers in K through 12 schools, facilitate chemical cleanouts and prevent future problems. These partners include other federal agencies, state agencies, teachers’ associations, school administrator organizations, chemical suppliers and industry leaders.

Swine Flu Government Data Scam

[Video]

Government using fraud
to generate swine flu hysteria

Employees are being told that they have to receive the Swine Flu vaccine or lose their jobs.

Schools are giving children the vaccine against their parents wishes.

Now it's been revealed that the federal government deliberately withheld data that showed a huge percentage of people who have been reported as having the Swine Flu did not in fact have it.

Question: Why is the government creating fear and panic?

Answer: What else are they good for?

Do your homework. This vaccine is being promoted by a group of people who wouldn't know the truth if it bit them.

Praises to Obama

clipper's remarks: But Obama’s skin color has nothing to do with this. Does anyone interested in retaining their merit badge for intellectual honesty really want to argue that Condi Rice or J.C. Watts would’ve spawned a dozen-and-counting tribute videos?

This is about brainwashing our children into Leftist identity politics. Sure, the schools can argue that they had some kind of parental permission — which, if true, is somehow even more disturbing — but who even considers doing something like this with young minds? That’s a rhetorical question.
There was some guesswork, but to the best of our ability the videos run from oldest to youngest, starting with high schoolers. We list the name of the school and the date the video was posted. From there, if it could be found (or a confident guess made), you’ll find the schools’ website, followed by the original title given to the video and any notes added by whoever uploaded to YouTube.

ELEMENTARY EPIDEMIC: 11 Uncovered Videos Show School Children Performing Praises to Obama

Big Hollywood has already posted a couple disturbing videos of young school children singing/speaking praises to President Obama, but when eleven more dropped in our email box it came as quite a shock. What seemed like an aberration now appears to be a troubling pattern.

Maybe “epidemic” is a better word.

Each one of the videos below is creepier than the last because the further down you go, the younger the children — brace yourself for kindergartners – except for the last and most disturbing video, which you have to see to believe.

Young captive minds, easily influenced, eager for direction, enlisted into a cult of personality focused on an individual who, other than being the first black president, has yet to accomplish anything of significance.

Pro-Pot - Anti-Gay Election Results

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:50:13 GMT

clipped by: citizenbfk
clipper's remarks: Yesterday in the state of Maine there were "pro-pot," and "anti-gay," referendums on the ballot. Results: Pot, yea; Gay, No.

But...maybe that exaggerates the results. It wasn't like the people of Maine voted to pass out marijuana at the schools (they formalized a distribution method) and it wasn't like the voters of Maine wanted to start gay folks witch hunts (they didn't want to approve state "marriage status," to gays).

There are lots of ways of looking at these political decisions. Should gay rights even be an item up for vote or a right protected by the Constitution?

But is gay marriage a gay right?

Maine is now the 31st state to have a direct referendum on gay marriage and they have all turned it down.

Maine is now the 5th state to allow the "medical," use of marijuana. With Obama telling the Feds not to prosecute individual users acting in accord with their state's laws, I'd expect a lot more states to go this way.

No knighthoods being given out, in either cas

A Setback in Maine for Gay Marriage, but Medical Marijuana Law Expands

Maine voters also decided to expand the state’s 10-year-old medical marijuana law, approving a ballot question to allow state-regulated dispensaries to grow the drug and sell it to patients. The vote came weeks after the Obama administration announced it would not prosecute patients and distributors who are in “clear and unambiguous” compliance with state laws. Maine will be the third state, after New Mexico and Rhode Island, to allow tightly regulated, nonprofit marijuana dispensaries.

With the repeal of the same-sex marriage law, Maine became the 31st state to reject same-sex marriage at the ballot box. Five other states — Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, New Hampshire and Vermont — have legalized same-sex marriage, but only through court rulings and legislative action.

European Union court bans crucifixes in Italian classrooms

04th November 2009

Crucifixes have been banned in Italian schools by a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights.

The decision has enraged politicians, with Italy's foreign minister Franco Frattini saying: 'This is a death blow for a Europe of values and rights.

'Europe's roots lie in its Christian identity. At a time when we're trying to bring religions closer, the Christian religion gets whacked.

The case was brought by a Finnish woman, Soile Lautsi, who is married to an Italian.

Both are atheists.

The European court's ruling, which will be enforced in three months, said crucifixes could disturb children who were not Christians.

And it ordered the Italian government to pay 5000 Euro moral damages to Lautsi.

Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini introduced legislation in 1924 ordering all classrooms to display crucifixes. Despite several attempts to have the law overturned in recent years it has stood.

There are not many people know that he was very close to Michael Jackson (MJ) since 1980s. At that time Lewis was still a cute boy. MJ is like his best figure, friend, and brother.

Emmanuel Lewis was born March 9th, 1971 in Brooklyn, New York. He is the youngest of the four siblings attended regular public schools in Brooklyn. He started his amazing acting career in TV commercials for such products as fruit juice, cars, stereos, pizza, and Burger King.

Lewis was very close to MJ, they just danced and played together so there were some rumors that Lewis was also one of MJ's pedophilia victim. However, there was no clear evidence that Lewis was one of his victim. Even, there is no strong evidence that MJ was doing pedophilia to children as MJ said it's just bad people efforts to put him down.
