Obama School Registration

2008-08-31T07:48:00.003-05:00

This 2007 Associated Press photograph shows the school register of the child who is today known as Barack Hussein Obama but was officially listed then as Barry Soetoro, whose citizenship was listed as "Indonesian" and whose religion was listed as "Islam." The visual evidence starkly contradicts the Obama campaign's claim that he was not a Muslim and confirms that he is a national of at least one other country.

Shock & Awe In the GOP!!!!!

2007-12-19T15:23:00.000-05:00

Believe me, unless you're a die-hard libertarian (like myself) you've never seen a REPUBLICAN answer the tough question like Ron Paul did on Glenn Beck's CNN show last night. Seems like Glenn Beck , who recently put Dr. Paul down, is a convert now.

Believe me, this is a MUST SEE!!!!! This country is doomed and "Dr. NO" lays it right out in the open honestly and brutally. The only HONEST candidate and the only one who'll save this country from "slipping and sliding into third-worldism" (Bob Grant).

Glenn Beck asks tough questions and gets honest answers from GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul.

"Dr. No," our ONLY hope.

Bob GrantWeekdays: 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM ON WABC RADIO 77.

Controversial, opinionated and wildly popular, Bob Grant has truly earned the title "King of Talk Radio".

After leaving the University of Illinois, Bob landed his first radio job at WAOK in Oak Park, Illinois. He moved on to WBBM in Chicago as a newsman. While in Chicago he also performed as a television actor. Ten years later he moved to Los Angeles to work at KNX as a radio personality and television talk show host.

Bob was hired by KABC radio as Sports Director where he met the legendary Joe Pine. After substituting for Pine on several occasions, Grant was chosen to take over The Joe Pine Show at KABC. For Bob Grant and his loyal listeners, the rest would be history.

Bob moved to New York in 1970 to host a talk show on WMCA where he spent seven years steadily building his audience. Leaving WMCA in 1977, Grant worked his first stint at WOR, and later moved to WWDB in Philadelphia before returning to New York as the cornerstone of WABC’s brand new talk format in 1984. He remained at WABC until his much-publicized firing in 1996.

Ten days later, Bob was again hired by WOR to be heard locally in New York and nationally on The WOR Radio Network.

He is the author of the best-selling book, "Lets Be Heard".

In 1996 the National Association of Radio Talk Show Hosts (NARTSH) honored Bob Grant with its Freedom of Speech Award. In 2002, radio industry magazine Talkers ranked him as the 16th greatest radio talk show host of all time. In 2007, Bob Grant was nominated for induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1930s, 1940s, 50s, 60s

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking .

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun. We drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem .

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits/legal from these accidents .
We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out any eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!

Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

Doomed!

Global Warming's A SCAM!!!!

2007-11-08T20:36:00.000-05:00

Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’
Intro by Joe D’Aleo, Icecap, CCM
I was privileged to work with John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel in the year before it became a reality and then for the first of the 6 years I was fortunate to be the Director of Meteorology. No one worked harder than John to make The Weather Channel a reality and to make sure the staffing, the information and technology was the very best possible at that time. John currently works with KUSI in San Diego. He posts regularly. I am very pleased to present his latest insightful post.

By John Coleman

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment.

I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.

I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend. See John’s full blog story here.

The One Minute Case Against Environmentalism

June 6th, 2007

Environmentalism versus humanity

The premise behind the environmentalist movement is the belief that nature untouched by human influence has inherent moral value independently of its benefit to mankind, and therefore the influence of man, and especially that of industrial civilization, is immoral. What leading environmentalists oppose is not the threat to human life posed by environmental destruction, but man’s exploitation of nature to improve its ability to sustain human life.
In the words of popular environmentalist Bill McKibben, “The problem is that nature, the independent force that has surrounded us since our earliest days, cannot coexist with our numbers and our habits. We may well be able to create a world that can support our numbers and our habits, but it will be an artificial world. . . .” The environmentalist attack on the “artificial” extends to all human manipulation of the environment. While few advocates of environmentalism recognize it as such, the ultimate goal of the environmentalist movement is the total destruction of industrial civilization, and the vast majority of the human race whose existence is made possible by it.

Environmentalism versus the mind

Human beings have evolved over millions of years to survive by using their reasoning mind. There is nothing “unnatural” about this. It is human nature to think and use technology to enrich our lives. We are as much a part of the “natural world” as any other creature. Instead of claws, fangs, or the heightened senses of animals, we have our minds and hands. The difference between our comfortable lives and the short, dangerous, and miserable existence that our ancestors eked out in trees, caves, and caverns is continually made possible by application of reason to the problem of survival.

Shackling man’s mind by preventing him from applying it to improve his condition would ultimately lead to our extinction. The genetic and biochemical tools which made the Green Revolution possible feed billions of people today. Farming machinery feeds billions more. Undoing the industrial revolution would eliminate the vast majority of productivity improvements in agricultural production and distribution. To the extent that we cripple technology, we cripple our ability to exist as human beings.

Capitalism is the solution to environmental destruction

The usual response to environmental destruction is a call for more government controls of industry. However it is the lack of property rights, not capitalism which is responsible for environmental destruction, as the history of socialist states aptly demonstrates.1
According to Roy Cordato2,
Environmental problems occur because property rights, a requirement of free markets, are not being identified or enforced. Problems of air, river, and ocean pollution are all due to a lack of private property rights and/or protection. Since clarifying and enforcing property rights is the basic function of government in a free society, environmental problems are an example of government failure, not market failure.

In a free society, environmental problems should be viewed in terms of how they impinge on human liberty. Questions should focus on how and why one person’s use of resources might interfere with the planning and the decision making abilities of others. Since, legitimately, people can only make plans and decisions with respect to resources that they have “rights” to, environmentalism that has human wellbeing as the focus of its analysis, must center on property rights.

Even if some environmental dangers are real, we would be much better equipped to deal with them by embracing prosperity and technological progress than surrendering to the indisputable danger of nature to those who give up their primary means of survival. As Ayn Rand put it,3
City smog and filthy rivers are not good for men (though they are not the kind of danger that the ecological panic-mongers proclaim them to be). This is a scientific, technological problem—not a political one—and it can be solved only by technology. Even if smog were a risk to human life, we must remember that life in nature, without technology, is whole-sale death.

More Global Warming Ranting

2007-10-06T14:10:00.000-05:00

To attribute global warming to man is a big leap. To accept this theory the following things need to be proven:

1. It must be determined if Co2 is a MAJOR green house gas in our atmosphere. Oh yeah, but this has already been established, it isn't as it only occupies less than 2% of our troposphere but don't believe me, this is from Nasa. And also, it must be proven that man contributes in a significant way to its abundance. Oh yeah, and it's already been established he contributes approximately 1/2 of 1% by Nasa.

1. There must be a CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP (not just a correlation) PROVEN linking co2 with and increase in temperature. This has never been proven and in fact, there is a reverse relationship, temp increases are FOLLOWED by increases in co2.

2. There must be a causal relationship proven linking mans activity to this rise in co2 and the alleged rise in temperature. This has never been proven and in fact increases have not generally followed the industrial revolution as would be expected if this were true.

3. There must be proof that rules out other likely variables, such as the activity of the sun, sunspots, and the ocean currents as causes of climate change and experts like the world's leading hurricane forecaster William Gray and Nasa's chief have recently publicly supported. Maybe, and just maybe, Temperature fluxuations are normal and will exist w/or w/out man. I know this may be hard for some to believe, but it just may be true!!!!

4. We must realize that the ulitmate goal of the environmentmentalists is to have the most "natural" and "healthy" earth possible, at any costs. This really means an earth as far removed from the effects and activities of man as can be. For them the actions of other animals are "natural" while man and his activities are considered unnatural. We will be considered unnatural only until man wipes himself out, or a meteor does, then we will be considered natural. Thus, the ultimate goal of the greens really is to establish an earth void of the effects of man, or simply put, void of man himself. So, if you really want to help the earth, don't have kids, let your house and material possessions revert back to nature, take off all your closes and commit suicide.

Global warming is a scam used by those who want to create a crisis and become the saviors for power and money.

Global warming and cooling was going on before man, and will go on after man's existence.

Global warming and cooling was going on before the industrial revolution and went on after it.

The earth's temperature today is well below the average temperature for the past few BILLION years.

Vermont To Secede!!!!

2007-09-30T07:50:00.000-05:00

Rob Williams, is the volunteer editor of VERMONT COMMONS which is the online voice of Vermont Independence. The organization has been working for some time to establish The Second Vermont Republic which is a peaceful, democratic, grassroots, libertarian populist movement opposed to the tyranny of the U.S. Government, corporate America, and globalization and committed to the return of Vermont to its rightful status as an independent republic, as it was between 1777 and 1791. More of the history of Vermont and the Independence movement can be read at the VT Commons website.

CB: Please explain the Vermont secessionist movement and why many Vermonters support it. Why do you support it? What do you think might happen to Vermont if secession does not happen?

RW: The Vermont secession impulse is born out of our understanding that the United States - once a great republic - has become an unsustainable Empire governed by a very few. Beyond massive (and bipartisan) national electoral fraud, 9/11's unanswered questions, a "war on terror" (that will not end, we are told, in our life times), the collapse of the U.S. Constitution, the erosion of civil liberties, and the practicing of "disaster capitalism" on a massive scale by political and economic elites, the U.S. is simply too big to function as a democratic republic in its current state. In other words, as astute observers from across the political spectrum have pointed out, the Empire is essentially ungovernable, unsustainable, and un-reformable.

We in the Vermont independence effort are a growing group of citizens who have moved beyond frustration with the current imperial system and are championing a more honest and hopeful paradigm - that of "small is beautiful" sustainability and, if need be, peaceable secession from the Empire, and the re-invention of Vermont as an independent republic, as it was from 1777 to 1791. Contrary to popular belief, New England was the first region of the country to openly call for secession - not once but several times - during the early 19th century, for similar reasons as our own in the 21st: concern about growing corporate and commercial power, and legitimate fears of a centralized federal/statist apparatus that trumps local decision-making and state sovereignty. Given expansive federal regulatory power over our food (USDA), our airwaves (FCC), our animals and livestock (NAIS), our educational endeavors (NCLB), and every other aspect of our lives, it makes sense to take a good hard look at some legitimate alternatives that exist as a forgotten part of the U.S. political tradition - this is what we are doing here at Vermont Commons newspaper.

The War On SOME Drugs

2007-08-09T20:09:00.000-05:00

Only One Justification Needed to End the Insane War on Drugs

by Rick Gee

When New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson announced on CBS’s 60 Minutes that he had used marijuana and cocaine in his younger days and – gasp! – liked it, a cacophonous uproar ensued. Elected and appointed officials from both major parties knocked each other over in the rush to denounce the governor for this unpopular and dangerous stance and vowed to oppose any decriminalization or legalization schemes.

Of course, Johnson waited until after he was reelected to drop this bombshell on the public, but who could blame him? Politicians, even a maverick like Johnson, live for the next election. If he had publicized his controversial views before the election, Marty Chavez would now be the governor of New Mexico instead of settling for his old job as the mayor of Albuquerque.

Drug prohibition is a recent trend, historically speaking. Most of the laws originated during the “Reefer Madness” era of the early 1900s. The unmitigated failure of alcohol prohibition should be a model for the legality of all mood-enhancing substances. Alas, the War on Drugs is really a War on Some Drugs. Alcohol and nicotine are legal for adults of a certain minimum age despite the fact that those legal drugs kill far more people than all illegal drugs combined.

Self-medication has been a hallmark of human civilization since man first pulled himself out of the primordial swamp. So why are marijuana and other drugs verboten? The obvious answer is that the ruling elite love to control the rest of us. In 2000, over 730,000 Americans were arrested for the heinous act of simply possessing or using marijuana. Our prisons are so full of drug users (most of them marijuana users) that the United States now houses 25% of the world’s prison population.

Drug-legalization proponents have offered many common-sense reasons to reform our nation’s destructive drug laws. One of the most common arguments is that drug dependence is a health issue rather than a crime issue, i.e., treatment makes more sense than incarceration. Others point out that rates of illicit drug use bear no meaningful relationship to enforcement efforts. Most reasonable people recognize that smoking a bowl is not tantamount to armed robbery or rape. Therefore, those individuals who are inclined to try mind-altering drugs are not likely to abstain from doing so just because a bunch of corrupt politicians pass some laws.

Some argue that illegal drugs are not nearly as dangerous as the government and media would have you believe. After all, far more people die as a result of taking legal prescription and over-the-counter drugs each year than die from ingesting all illegal drugs put together.

Civil libertarians decry the loss of privacy and Constitutional protections. “Know Your Customer” regulations forced upon banks are ostensibly designed to ferret out drug dealers. Asset forfeiture – the despicable practice in which government thugs with guns are permitted to seize private property upon the slimmest suspicion that the property in question might be remotely connected to illegal drugs – has rendered the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure impotent. And forget the presumption of innocence; victims must prove they are not guilty to regain their property, despite the fact that in the majority of such cases, no charges are filed.

Civil rights spokesmen expose the racist dimensions of prohibition: blacks are incarcerated at a rate grossly disproportionate to their population, and penalties for crack cocaine use are harsher than those for the powdered variety.

Critics of bloated government point out that the War on Drugs is a massive waste of tax dollars. Realists maintain that even successful interdiction operations make only the slightest dent in the volume of drugs coming across the country’s extensive borders and into its countless ports. Armchair economists recognize that supply will always meet demand.

All of the above arguments (definitely not a complete list) for ending The War on Some Drugs have merit. Some are practical, some are self-serving. But none of them carries the moral weight of the single most important reason for complete drug legalization: If I am the owner of myself and my body (and surely I am), nobody may tell me what I may ingest into it.

In a free society that recognizes private property rights, the right of the individual to determine what he will ingest, smoke or inject into his own person should be paramount. What right does the politician or bureaucrat have to tell one otherwise?

An exchange with a do-gooder nanny wannabe typically goes something like this:

“If drugs were legal, we would experience an epidemic of drug addiction.”

“So, if drugs were legal, would you use them?”

“No, of course not.”

“Why then do you assume everyone else will?”

“Well, I can control myself, but some people can’t.”

So what? In a free society, some individuals will make poor decisions about a whole host of things: what to eat, what to drink, what college to attend, what career to pursue, whom to marry, or whether or not to ingest “illegal” drugs. None of these decisions should be usurped by government. Each and every one of them must be left to the sovereign individual.

If you are over the age of twelve, you very likely either have smoked pot yourself or know someone who has. Did it ruin your life or the life of those you know? Did smoking pot reduce to rubble the lives of the two men who vied for the presidency in the contested election of 2000? Did you ever hear one of the talking heads who lobs softballs at the candidates in presidential debates ask, “Do you believe you would be better off now if you had spent ten years in prison for your youthful indiscretions?”

The War on Some Drugs is really The War on Some People. If you want to drink a fifth of Scotch a day and die from cirrhosis of the liver, that’s OK as far as the government is concerned. But if you want to relax after a hard day at work with a few puffs on a joint, you are a criminal and may go to jail.

This assault on free men and women must end, and it must end for one reason: your person and your body are your property, and you should allow no one, least of all some politician in the statehouse or in Washington, to get away with dictating what you do with your property.

Live Earth Sux!

2007-07-12T13:13:00.000-05:00

This Live Earth Shit just really pisses me off 'cuz it wreaks with hypocrisy. The climate nazis know no bounds, and if Gore calls us global warming deniers, I have every right to call them climate nazis.

Making this argument as short and brief as possible, let's look at some simple facts.... co2 makes up less than ONE HALF of ONE PERCENT of the atmosphere, and according to NASA, 98% of it is there due to NATURAL causes. And about Co2 CAUSING rises in temperature, COMPLETE CRAP. Rises in CO2 FOLLOW rises in temperature, or at least have throughout the history of the earth itself.

An EXCELLENT presentation by Dr. Lee C. Gerhard, State Geologist and Director of the Kansas Geological Survey showing information gathered by Khilyuk, L.F. and Chilingar, G.V. 2006 shows that spikes in CO2 in the atmosphere FOLLOW rises in the climate temperature, and DO NOT PRECEED it! and this chorus being sung by the environmental nazis about unanimous consent among the scientific comnunity about global warming, that is complete horseshit.

Dr. Lee C. Gerhard is not the only one who "denies" the global warming myth. Both the head of NASA, Michael Griffin, and The worlds top hurricane forecaster, William Gray, say Gore does not know what he is talking about.

One of the most heavily publicized "proof" of scientific consensus in the last decade concerning climate change has been the Oreskes Study [Oreskes, Naomi. “The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change” Science Vol.306, 3 December 2004 Vol. 1686] as stated by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But, when results of a surveys used in these study are looked at IN DETAIL, they suggest just the OPPOSITE.

For example, one question on the survey asked “To what extent do you agree or disagree that climate change is mostly the result of anthropogenic causes? This question had a mean score of 3.62 (on a scale of 1 to 7 with 1=strongly agree and 7=strongly disagree). THIS is NOT consensus especially when you find out that ONLY 9.4% of the respondents “strongly agree”. with that statement. In other words, LESS than 10% is consensus as far as the Oreskes study has been represented. Detailed results of the (above/Oreskes) study published in Science, Vol 306, Issue 5702, 1686 , 3 December 2004 the IPCC is not a scientific entity, it is simply a political body of the UN. There is NO science there and never was.

Let's see how quick this gets negative comments. Just remember, I QUOTE FACTS AND PEOPLE. I did not make any of this up off the top of my head like someone's whose electric bill is 20X the national average, lives in a mansion w/a heated pool, flys around in jets, and tells others to take coffee cups from home when they go to starbucks.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!

Only a week after Live Earth, eco-warrior Al Gore didn't do much for his green credentials when he shocked fellow environmentalists by serving up an endangered fish at his daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner.
The former US vicepresident provided 75 guests with Chilean sea bass - one of the world's most threatened fish species.
Gore, 59, who created the climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth, sampled a sixcourse tasting menu at Beverly Hills' Crustacean restaurant which included the sea bass - also known as Patagonian toothfish.

Drug Checkpoint Ahead?

Relax and Keep Driving...

Why? Because there isn’t exactly such a thing as a drug checkpoint. In City of Indianapolis v. Edmond, the Supreme Court found random drug checkpoints unconstitutional in 2000. Since then, police (particularly in the mid-west) have gotten into the habit of putting signs up warning drivers of upcoming drug checkpoints and then detaining and searching drivers who make illegal u-turns or desperately fling contraband from their vehicles. These checkpoint-like fake checkpoints serve as the functional equivalent of a checkpoint without violating the Court’s prohibition against checkpoints.

Run Your Car On Water!

PRELIMINARY PLANS
TO RUN YOUR CAR ON TAP WATER!
IT ALSO WORKS ON YOUR

The Plan
Build and install a low-cost alternative method for running your vehicle (internal combustion engine) on tap water, using off-the-shelf components.
This is simply an efficient way to convert ordinary tap water into gaseous hydrogen and oxygen, and then burn these vapors in the engine, instead of gasoline.
This "minisystem" runs easily from your existing battery and electrical system, and it plugs into your carburetor with simple off-the-shelf fittings.
You will be installing a plastic water tank, a control circuit, a reaction chamber, a hi-pressure carb/FI fitting, and 3 gauges, and then hooking into your existing carb/FI.
The simplicity comes from its being an "on-demand" system requiring no fancy storage or plumbing. You crank the gas pedal or throttle, and you electrically create more vapor for immediate consumption, on demand; low-high flow rate as needed, from idle to maximum power. The only real change is that you are using tap water as fuel, instead of the traditional petroleum-based fuel.
Given a choice, which way would you choose?

Second Hand Smoking Myths

2005-10-12T08:23:00.000-05:00

Don't Let Real Science Get In The Way!

Dr. Bernard M. Wagner, the editor of Modern Pathology, recently wrote, "Are there 450,000 smoking-related deaths per year in America? Maybe...but no human beings are ever studied to find out". Wagner went on to say the biggest obstacle to knowing what is actually going on is the low autopsy rate in this country, about 10%.

Perhaps the best (or maybe the worst) example of the LaLonde effect is the recent report of the Environmental Protection Agency on the "dangers" of second-hand smoke (ETS).

In an article published in the Winter 93-94 issue of Bostonia, a magazine published by Boston University, the EPA Report was vigorously attacked by Dr. John C. Luik, a non-smoker, and a senior associate of the Niagara Institute, Ontario, Canada. As Luik showed, the EPA study was based on some 30 studies from several different countries. These studies dealt, essentially, with the effect of smoking by a smoking husband or wife on a non-smoking spouse. Of the thirty studies, 24 showed no statistically significant connection between ETS (environmental tobacco smoke) and lung cancer. However, while the EPA saw fit to discuss and refer to all 30 studies, it made a statistical analysis of only 11 U.S. studies. EPA conceded that ten of these studies also showed no statistically significant increase in lung cancer risk. One study alone showed such a risk, but to show such a risk, the EPA was obliged to reduce the statistical "confidence factor" which it normally uses in such analyses from 95% to 90%!

The EPA then went on to merge all of the eleven studies together (a statistically invalid procedure since the studies were not all structured the same way), and to reanalyze the results, using the newly reduced "confidence factor". By folding, mutilating and stapling the data, the EPA decided that the spouses of smokers had a risk of developing 119 lung cancers, as opposed to a risk of 100 such cancers in the spouses of non-smokers. Without the reduction in the "confidence factor", no statistically significant risk could have been shown. None-the-less, the EPA branded ETS a "carcinogen".
Writing in Toxological Pathology, Alvan Feinstein, a Yale University epidemiologist quotes another prominent epidemiologist as saying this about the EPA report: "Yes, it's rotten science, but it's in a worthy cause. It will help us to get rid of cigarettes and become a smoke-free society". The "LaLonde Effect" is alive and well!

Second Hand Smoke - Biggest Hoax Of the 20th Century!

It is barely an exaggeration to say that the prohibitionists invented secondhand tobacco smoke (and rechristened it “environmental tobacco smoke”) because it is (still) difficult to justify prohibition for the smoker’s own good. Anti-tobacco activist Stanton Glantz wrote in 1986: “The issue should be framed in the rhetoric of the environment, toxic chemicals, and public health rather than the rhetoric of saving smokers from themselves or the cigarette companies” (p. 150).

“[It] is safe,” writes Sullum, “to say that the hazards of secondhand smoke have been grossly exaggerated” (p. 159). As the evidence reviewed by Sullum himself suggests (see chapter 5), this conclusion may well be an understatement. The health hazards of secondhand smoke may be the hoax of the twentieth century. The strand of junk science underlying this hoax owes much to the 1992 EPA report that classified secondhand tobacco smoke as a “Group A carcinogen.” It may be useful to quote a source that was not available to Sullum at the time of his writing, namely, the recent judgment of U.S. District Judge William Osteen: “The court is faced with the ugly possibility that EPA adopted a methodology for each chapter, without explanation, based on the outcome sought in that chapter. . . . The record and EPA’s explanations to the court make it clear that using standard methodology, EPA could not produce statistically significant results with its selected studies” (Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative v. EPA, No. 6:93CV00370 at 60, 77, M.D.N.C., July 17, 1998).

Risk of Lung Cancer:
A relative risk of 1.19, even if the data were not manipulated, is extremely weak. It is of the same general magnitude as the risk that an American citizen faces of dying in a bicycling accident over the course of a lifetime. It is a risk that is less than that associated with developing colon cancer by drinking chlorinated water, which is in most U.S. cities' water supplies. It is generally accepted in the medical literature that any time a relative risk is less than 2.0, the distinct possibility exists that the finding is artifactual and a consequence of the influence of confounding factors.
For instance, many studies indicate that dietary factors alone can influence the rate of development of lung cancer, both in smokers and in nonsmokers, through a relative risk in the range of 20 to 30 percent or so, the same relative magnitude of risk attributed to ETS by the EPA. Multiple reports from the National Cancer Institute and others demonstrate that, because of their lifestyles, the diets of smokers tend to be deficient in beta carotene, vitamins A, C, and E, folate, selenium, and other nutrients known to be anti-carcinogenic. In addition, smokers have lower blood levels of beta carotene and other nutrients than can be explained by diet alone. Characteristically, smokers exhibit other high-risk behaviors that reflect an unhealthy lifestyle. Although the degree to which nonsmoking spouses share such high-risk behaviors has not been extensively quantified and is currently under study, it is only common sense that many of the various risks, especially the dietary ones, might be shared.
As individuals grow older, they have an increased risk for the development of lung cancer, as well as other cancers. Age, then, becomes a very important confounding variable in any study that evaluates the effect of an environmental agent on the development of lung cancer. The EPA analysis, as well as some of the original reports, did not control for this important variable.
There are more than 20 other confounding factors that have been identified as important to assessing risk for lung cancer. When the suggested relative risk is very low, as it is in passive smoking, a single uncontrolled or unaccounted variable can cause a totally spurious interpretation. The EPA's risk assessment acknowledged that confounders are important to any evaluation of ETS as a potential carcinogen. Its concern for confounders was extremely limited, however, and their influence was evaluated by employing a modeling of data by a method as yet untested and unproved by conventional peer review. The EPA, in essence, ignored its own guidelines and established requirements to rule out confounding as an alternative explanation for an association before basing causal inference on epidemiologic results. Until studies take these variables into consideration, we will never know the true risks of ETS exposure.

British Medical Journal report:

Most recently of all, an explosive new study that seriously questions the impact of environmental tobacco smoke on health was published by the British Medical Journal (16 May 2003). According to the study, one of the largest of its kind, the link between environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed.

Are non-smokers at risk from ETS?This is what everyone wants to know. The truth is that the scientific establishment has found it impossible to reach agreement on the issue. Interviewed on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs (23 February 2001), Professor Sir Richard Doll, the first scientist to publish research that suggested a correlation between lung cancer and primary smoking, commented: 'The effects of other people smoking in my presence is so small it doesn't worry me.'
Professor Doll's comments may surprise some people but not those who have analysed the argument about passive smoking in detail. In 1992, for example, the American Environmental Protection Agency published a report that was said to demonstrate the link between passive smoking and ill health in non-smokers. In 1996 however a US federal court ruled that the EPA had completely failed to prove its case. It was found not only to have abandoned recognised statistical practice, but to have excluded studies which did not support its pre-determined conclusion, and to have been inconsistent in its classification of ETS compared with other substances.

Smoking & Pregnancy Myths:

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is not even a specific disease, but just an unexplained death. The risk factors (other than sleeping position) are identical with socioeconomic disadvantage. In The Netherlands, SIDS deaths increased by 10 times between 1971 and 1985, despite declines in maternal smoking during this period, because of a switch in the customary sleeping position (AC Engelberts, GA de Jonge. Choice of sleeping position for infants: possible association with cot death. Arch Dis Childhood 1990;65:462-467.) After publicity against the prone sleeping position, death rates fell 37% in just one year.

So-called maternal smoking harms are really medical deficiencies that are maliciously being blamed on the victims themselves.
Courtesy of Carol Thompson 08/23/93 Smokers' Rights Action Group P.O. Box 259575 Madison, WI 53725-9575 Phone: 608-249-4568

Anti-smokers also falsely blame other poor birth outcomes on maternal smoking. Respiratory Distress Syndrome should not be attributed to smoking because most studies find less RDS among smokers' babies (E Lieberman, J Torday et al. Association of intrauterine cigarette smoke exposure with indices of fetal lung maturation. Obstet Gynecol 1992;79:564-570).

In more rational times, before the anti-tobacco hysteria began in earnest, women who smoked continued to smoke and enjoy other normal pleasures of life without guilt during their pregnancies. Many even smoked during labor to help them relax and take the edge off their pain. If their doctors mentioned smoking at all, it would be to advise them to perhaps cut down if they were heavy smokers, something which most did intuitively because they didn’t “feel” like smoking as much.

But pity the poor North American smoker today who becomes pregnant, because she will be told that if she continues to smoke at all (or have any alcohol or caffeine) during her pregnancy, she is putting her developing fetus at high risk of death or disability.

Nothing could be further from the truth, as the following annotated bibliographies and tables will show.

Though there is considerable evidence showing that on average the babies of women who smoke during pregnancy weigh on average a few ounces less than babies of women who do not smoke and that the rate of low birthweight babies is somewhat higher for smokers, there is no credible evidence for the hyperbolic claims that the babies of smokers have a higher mobidity and mortality rate. Quite the contrary, the babies of women who smoke during pregnancy have a better survival rate ounce for ounce, a somewhat lower rate of congenital defects, a lower rate of Down’s syndrome, a lower rate of infant respiratory distress syndrome and a somewhat lower rate of childhood cancer than do the babies of non-smokers.

Dr. Richard L. Naeye, a leading obstetrical researcher who studied more than 58,000 pregnancies, states unequivocally:

“We recently found no significant association between maternal smoking and either stillbirths or neonatal deaths when information about the underlying disorders, obtained from placental examinations, was incorporated into the analyses. Similar analyses found no correlation between maternal smoking and preterm birth. The most frequent initiating causes of preterm birth, stillbirth, and neonatal death are acute chorioamnionitis, disorders that produce chronic low blood flow from the uterus to the placenta, and major congenital malformations. There is no credible evidence that cigarette smoking has a role in the genesis of any of these disorders.”

[“Cognitive and Behavioral Abnormalities in Children Whose Mothers Smoked Cigarettes during Pregnancy,” Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Dec l992: 13(6); p. 425, emphasis added].

Here.
The Study focused on more than 35,500 people who had never smoked but who had spouses who did. The researchers found that exposure to passive smoking was not associated with deaths from heart disease or lung cancer.

SuperNova.org REOPENS!!!!

2005-10-08T23:27:00.000-05:00

The old SuprNova.org returns as NewNova.org

It has been a while since we posted a news on the site and that is due to my computer still not working. Right now I took my time to get to a computer and write up this news, since I thought it was quite important.

You all remember the old SuprNova.org, right? And most of you were very disappointed when you heard that SuprNova.org was never going to return in its old form. Well, this fact will not change. But I am happy to announce that another site is going to open using the old SuprNova.org code, with some bugs fixed to make it faster.

I will try to explain how all of this happened, in a short story. A very good friend of mine who is very good with PHP and scripting has always wanted to run a website like SuprNova.org and he tried making few torrent websites (which I will not name), but he never really managed to get the user base, simply because he lacked the designer skills. Then he asked me if he could use the design of SuprNova.org and we made a deal. Since I know that he will really try his best to keep the site up running and will work towards making his site better, we agreed that he will pay for the hosting of my web servers (current SuprNova.org) for 3 months.

So about two months ago, he got the source code of the old SuprNova.org and has modified the code so that it runs faster and does not take so much computer resources, his site is up and running. The new site is called, NewNova.org and it looks exactly like the old SuprNova.org only with a new ownership.

I would like to point out that I will have nothing to do with the new website, I might come visit their forums once their are up and running but that is about it. I know that this person is going to do all that he can to keep the site running and to make a nice community.

This person asked me to not name him, since he wants to be anonymous (as much as that is possible on the Internet), but I can say that he is quite known in the P2PP2P world.

TorrentBits Ratio Injection Vulnerability

Source:

All TorrentBits based trackers are vulnerable to a 'bug', which makes it possible for anyone to boost up their share ratio infinitely.

In order to perform this trick you will need 3 applications:

- HTTP Analyzer
- Mozilla Firefox
- User Agent Switcher Extension
- Any BT-client

Next step is to install all these programs. The mozilla user agent switcher only will need some setup:
Go to: Tools -> User Agent Switcher -> Options -> Options -> User Agents and click on add and write "BitTorrent/3.4.2"

After this is done you can go to your favorite private tracker and download any torrent you want. After you've downloaded the torrent
open it up but dont start the torrent yet.

Next thing to do is open the HTTP Analyzer and click on the arrow next to the green play button, from there choose 'select a process' from there on choose the aplication your using to download torrents and start the capturing of http headers.

After this you can start up the torrent file, the BT client will now communicate with the tracker and submit some basic information. The HTTP Analyzer program will capture all the data we need to boost up our ratio.

Once the torrent has started and the first headers are captured pauze the torrent and go back to the HTTP Analyzer, from the top field select and copy the url, next thing to do is starting up FireFox

After this is done simply paste the url we just copied, but dont press enter yet, first find the part of the url that tells the tracker our upload ammount (in bytes and usualy 0 on first contact), it should look something like this:

http://some.tracker/announce.php?info_hash...rted&key=Lxk3cc

The part we are interested in is the part it says "uploaded=0", if you want to add 20 GB to your upload ratio then replace the 0 with 21474836480
after that hit enter 1 time and 1 time only.

Now go to your private tracker and check your ratio, your upload should have 20 GB's added.

You are probably wondering, why we have posted this information on the site? Because instead of just few people knowing it and abusing it, everybody can do it now meaning the coders and scripters will have to find a way to fix the problem now.

This bug was found by http://xyflar.blogspot.com/ and written for SuprNova.org by bogaa from meganova.org
and changing the user agent with the plugin we've just configured.

F*ck Roadblocks

2005-09-26T17:13:00.000-05:00

Encountering A Roadblock
(What to expect and how to handle the situation)

Roadblocks are usually established in locations that prevent easy avoidance, offer ample parking for interrogating suspected law violators and issuing tickets, and usually in places and during times that will not cause serious traffic tie ups, although there have certainly been exceptions. The stated purposes of roadblocks are usually legalized excuses to stop and scrutinize motorists for which there would otherwise be no reason to do so. These excuses include "sobriety checks," license and registration verification, possession of insurance, proof of citizenship, and seatbelt usage. The desired effect is to establish a sense of fear and intimidation among the population. The pity is that it works, as far as the "desired effect" is concerned.

Even if the courts disallow roadblocks for certain purposes, e.g. the recent cases prohibiting roadblocks from being used to identify drug users or couriers, the enforcement agencies just claim another purpose for the roadblocks and it's business as usual. The courts have gone out of their way to allow the police great latitude in what they can do, once they have you stopped and under their control.

The point of the above discussion is to suggest that you engage the roadblock process from the standpoint that the current courts find them legal and a legitimate law enforcement tactic. Therefore, there is little to gain by launching into a tirade over the constitutionality of roadblocks, at least while you are stopped at one. However, this is not to say that all your rights are null and void once you enter a roadblock.

First, the police do not have the authority to search you or your vehicle, not without probable cause, or at least reasonable suspicion, that you have, or are committing a crime. They may ask your permission for a search---which means they do not have legal grounds to force a search. Never permit a voluntary search of your person or your vehicle. The police may try to cajole you into permitting a search. The old ruse, "if you don't have anything to hide, why object to a search?" should be ignored, or met with a response that you value your right to privacy and do not consent to a search of your vehicle.

If, under any set of circumstances, the police force a search of your vehicle, assume the worse case scenario. If they can't find anything illegal in your vehicle, they will place something in your vehicle that will justify their search. This is a sad commentary on the state of affairs, but these events should be expected in a schizophrenic society that employs police state tactics to intimidate common citizens.

Often, an involuntary search is preceded by another form of search, the once-over by the urban myth known as the infallible drug sniffing dog. Old Bowser can be relied upon to find drugs anyplace the police want to find drugs. (Yes, the dogs can detect drugs, but they can be easily manipulated or tricked into "sensing" drugs where no drugs exist, at least prior to the roadblock stop.) Most people are so relieved to be allowed to leave after the harrowing experience of having their car ravaged that they never consider launching a civil suit against the police department.

If the police are persistent about searching your vehicle, you should be equally persistent in demanding that they specify what illegal item they are looking for and why they think you have it in your vehicle. If they cannot come up with plausible answers to these questions, they do not have legal grounds to even consider searching your car.

The courts allow the police to detain drivers for further interrogation, but not for indefinite lengths of time. The courts seem to tolerate 20 minutes of harassment and intimidation and consider that tolerable for a suspected criminal. However, unless you ask to leave, the courts have said the police are under no obligation to tell you can leave. You have to ask, "Am I free to go?" If the police do not have defensible grounds to further detain you, they have to let you leave.

There is no greater symbol of a society having lost its bearings than the "sobriety roadblock." It is universally admitted that roadblocks apprehend very few drunk drivers, far fewer than the same allocation of resources could apprehend during regular patrols. Again, the purposes are intimidation, using the stops as a pretence to look for other criminal activity, and to garner public relations points as a "get tough on drunk drivers" agency.

DWI roadblocks are usually set up at night and can be quite unnerving with the bright lights, orchestrated show of force, and flashlights thrust in drivers' faces. All the previous comments about searches are applicable to DWI roadblocks. Also, you should not allow any penetration of your vehicle's interior space, that includes sticking a flashlight (often contains an alcohol sensor) through your window. You can be required to show the usual documentation, such as your driver's license, but you do not have to open your window any further than the space to hand it out. You do not have to answer questions about where you have been or where you are going, whether or not you have been drinking or what items are contained in your car.

If you are ordered out of your car, lock the door behind you. You do not have to perform any feats of balance, answer quiz questions, or recite the alphabet. In fact we recommend that you respectfully decline to do any of these things. A so-called field sobriety test is conducted for one reason only---to develop probable cause to arrest you for drunk driving. You can not pass a field sobriety test, no matter how sober or gifted you are. If the police believe they have probable cause to charge you with drunk driving, they can coerce you to take some form of breath or chemical test to determine your blood alcohol content. You can refuse, but the penalties for refusal are often as severe as a DWI conviction.

When you are first approached at a DWI roadblock, open your window slightly and wait for the officer to make his statement or ask his questions. If he simply offers the canned explanation for the stop and asks to see your license, have it ready to hand to him. If he asks any further questions, you should politely decline to enter into a discussion. Something like; "officer, I really don't approve of roadblocks and I don't care to discuss my affairs" should suffice. If the officer persists, ask for the return of your license and ask if you may leave.

It's important not to answer any questions, no matter how harmless. Your willingness to answer some questions, but not others, will raise suspicion. Worse yet is to give incriminating answers to seemingly routine questions. If you set the stage in a manner that it is clear you are not going to answer questions, period, there can be no defensible reason for detaining you, based on what you said. Just answer every question with "I don't wish to discuss my affairs, may I leave now?" By law, you are not obligated to answer these kinds of questions and you cannot be detained because you refuse to chit-chat with the officers at a roadblock.

If you have the time, the courage, and the confidence to verbally express your displeasure with being stopped at a roadblock, please do so. It would be a nice change of pace!

The police love to report how grateful the citizens are and how motorists appreciate the presence of roadblocks, and how they complement the officers on "being out there and protecting us from the menace of (fill in the blank). This, of course, is largely propaganda. In 1939, the Jews in Germany probably said "thank you" when they were given their yellow stars. Groveling is an ancient response to intimidation by authority.

See the section on this site entitled "Eliminating Roadblocks" for information on how to deal with the violation of your rights at a roadblock.

Popping Tips for Concessionaires

We recommend following these ten simple steps to make sure you’re popping up the best tasting concession popcorn possible.
Check your ingredients: Pop Weaver® popcorn, oil, and salt (or seasoning).
Check your proportions. Always use three parts corn to one part oil. Too much oil will ruin the taste of the popcorn.
Preheat your kettle for about four minutes.
Add oil and let sit for 15-30 seconds.
Add Weaver popcorn and salt or seasoning.
Pop for 2-3 minutes or until there is at least two seconds between pops.
Dump the popcorn. When dumping the popcorn, never cross your arms in front of the kettle as you reach for the popper. You could get burned.
Scoop the popcorn to the front of the popper.
Scrape the bottom of the popper. Never scoop on top of the corn because it forces tiny bits of popcorn through the grate.
Serve the popcorn by scooping the top inch or so from the popcorn heaped up in the popper. Fill the bag with a wiggling motion. Do not pat the popcorn or try to force more into the bag.

How to make Popcorn
First Start - When Popper is cold.1. Turn on the kettle agitator switch (if you have one).2. Turn on the burner/heat switch.3. Pour the properly measured amount of oil into the kettle.4. Take about 10 kernels of raw popcorn and throw them into the kettle that already contains the oil.5. Wait.6. Fill a measuring cup with the proper amount of raw kernels and add a liberal amount of either popcorn salt or Flavacol (butter flavored, colored salt). Most people prefer highly salted popcorn.7. When the 10 kernels of popcorn in the kettle have stopped popping, pour the full contents of the measured corn into the kettle. The popping cycle will last about 3 - 4 minutes.8. When the crackling noise of the popping corn is no longer heard, dump the kettle and empty it completely.
Consecutive Pops - When Popper Has Popped Corn Just Before.1. Pour the properly measure amount of Oil into the kettle.2. Wait about 45 seconds - or until the Oil in the kettle starts to smoke slightly.3. Pour the contents of the properly measured corn cup (kernels plus popcorn salt or Flavacol) into the kettle.4. Wait about 2? minutes. If you are using a pan on the stove without an agitator, you must constantly shake gently. When the crackling noise of the popping corn is no longer heard, dump the kettle and empty it completely.5. Repeat if needed for more popcorn.6. When you are finished popping, turn off the kettle agitator switch (if you have one) and turn off the Pilot light/ heat switch.7. After the machine has cooled enough so as not to be dangerously hot, wipe the outside of the kettle with a soft damp cloth. This helps prevent a heavy build-up of the Oil.

More Popcorn Tips - Kernels, Oils and Salt
Popcorn Kernels:

Most popcorn will pop. Some pop better than others do. Our Weaver Hybrid Popcorn is grown and processed for the professional user who demands carefully selected hybrid yellow large kernels producing tender, crispy, almost hull-less popped kernels. Our corn is packaged with moisture content at 13 - 14%, the optimum for good expansion. Retaining the moisture content of fresh corn is imperative for getting the most tender, biggest popped corn and fewest "Old Maid" un-popped kernels. We do not recommend storing kernels in the refrigerator or freezer. Self-defrosting models can actually dry out the kernels. Kernels keep best in an airtight container stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat given off by kitchen appliances.Two Tablespoons (1oz.) of un-popped kernels makes about 1 Quart of popped popcorn. One cup of plain, air popped popcorn has about 19 calories. One cup of plain popcorn popped in oil has about 54 calories.
Popcorn OilMost domestic cooking oils, such as Corn Oil or Peanut Oil, are satisfactory for popping popcorn. Professional popcorn oils, such as Coconut or Canola, are the best because they are a superb blend of highly refined oil and special seasonings, without the addition of wax. Popcorn Oil insures maximum popability, enhances the flavor of each kernel, and is easily digestible. Popcorn Oil does not require refrigeration - it will not get rancid at room temperature. It will not get sticky on the popper, nor will it burn or smoke at the high temperatures required to pop corn.Coconut Oil is the most common oil used by professionals. It produces the "Movie Theater" taste and smell. It remains solid at room temperature. It is a "fully saturated" popping oil and will not form black varnish inside and outside your kettle. It will not turn rancid as will virtually every "liquid" oil. Because it does not produce a soggy product, popcorn popped in coconut oil will keep for weeks in a tightly sealed container. DO NOT USE butter, margarine or lard to pop corn, as these oils tend to burn and produce excessive smoke when heated to high temperatures.For the best results use four parts kernels to 1 part oil (for example 1Cup popcorn kernels uses ? Cup oil).
Popcorn SaltOrdinary table salt can be used to season popcorn, but most table salt is too course and the crystals will not stick to the kernels. The flavor of popcorn can be enhanced by using a fine popcorn salt or Flavacol ( a finely concentrated butter flavored, yellow colored popcorn salt).White salt can be put in the popper with the unpopped kernels or sprinkled on after all kernels are popped. Flavacol must be put in the popper with the un-popped kernels for best results. It works very well in a stove top popper also. You should use about ? tsp. of Flavacol for ? Cup popcorn kernels.

How to clean and maintain your Popcorn Machine
CleaningThe mixture of Oil and Salt has the tendency to form a hard crust on the metal if not removed immediately; the longer it stays on, the more difficult it is to get off. Most domestic cooking oils are satisfactory but will smoke or burn. Coconut Oil has a higher burning temperature hence will not get sticky on the popper, nor burn or smoke.Have a soft cleaning cloth in a handy position. Get in the habit of always wiping down the kettle after the final dump of popcorn. You can wait until it is just warm if you are worried about burning yourself. Simply wipe the sides and lip of the kettle. This can actually be done at virtually anytime prior to the next time you heat the kettle for a new popping.We carry heavy-duty carbon cleaners that soften and dissolve carbon build up on not only kettles but also other cooking devices. Kleen Sweep is an aerosol product you spray on - wait 15 minutes to 5 hours - then wipe off. Fast Off is a brush on liquid commercial product you brush on - wait 15 minutes to 8 hours then wipe off with a damp cloth. Heat 'n Kleen is a powder used inside the kettle. Just heat a few tablespoons in water and then "steam" you popcorn machine.AT NO TIME SHOULD A KETTLE BE IMMERSED IN WATER.
Cleaning the glassStandard window cleaner may be used to clean the popcorn machines glass walls. Never use when there is product in the machine. Be careful of homemade vinegar based cleaners. They leave an odor when heated up. Pop 'n Shine is an excellent product that cuts the grease and leaves no streaking.
MaintenanceYour popper, as any other machine needs attention if it is to function properly. You can do your share by oiling the motor at least once a year - more often if you use the popper frequently: go over it occasionally and tighten screws, bolts, and nuts, which might have come loose.However, like your car, your popper will need a general overhaul after at least 2 years. A professional kettle clean can make your popper look brand new!It is cheaper to spend a few dollars to have your equipment gone over than to have to buy new equipment.

The majority of the Methlabs.org administration and development team
have been forced out of their website following a series of threats and
incidents. The member of the group that had been trusted to handle the
finances and servers slowly managed to take over each individual part of
the web site's assets, eventually claiming control over the entire
group and locking out the majority of staff.

The organisation's founders, Tim Leonard and Ken McKelland, as well as
the majority of the organisation's staff and developers (including the
main developer of the PeerGuardian2 application, Cory Nelson and the
staff members responsible for auditing the PeerGuardian Blocklists) have
all been forcibly removed from the servers that were funded from
donations given to the organisation by happy users, and from text advertising
placed on the websites forum and project pages.

The money, which was to have been used to help fund the development and
hosting costs of the group is now unavailable, stolen by the one who
was trusted to keep it.

Development of PeerGuardian will resume, and the website will
temporarily move to http://peerguardian.sourceforge.net/ until a new domain is
registered and a new server found. The intention of the group is to
register a non-profit organisation to handle the development of Methlabs
applications and to promote open source projects that aid both security,
privacy and peer-to-peer technologies, in order to prevent a repeat of
this incident.

The team wish all their users the best through this difficult time, but
promise that development will continue. Please visit
http://peerguardian.sf.net/ for news as we make progress. All other
sites, including http://methlabs.org and http://blocklist.org, are under
control of the rogue member and should not be trusted for safe updates
to our applications or lists.

A new build of PeerGuardian will be released soon to reflect these
changes. Until then we ask you to continue using Beta 6a but with caution
as the update servers are no longer under our control.

All staff are available in irc.freenode.net, channel #methlabs if you
wish to chat.

Why Government Spending is ALWAYS Wrong!

2005-09-14T07:20:00.000-05:00

What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen**1
In the economic sphere an act, a habit, an institution, a law produces not only one effect, but a series of effects. Of these effects, the first alone is immediate; it appears simultaneously with its cause; it is seen. The other effects emerge only subsequently; they are not seen; we are fortunate if we foresee them.
1.1
There is only one difference between a bad economist and a good one: the bad economist confines himself to the visible effect; the good economist takes into account both the effect that can be seen and those effects that must be foreseen.
1.2
Yet this difference is tremendous; for it almost always happens that when the immediate consequence is favorable, the later consequences are disastrous, and vice versa. Whence it follows that the bad economist pursues a small present good that will be followed by a great evil to come, while the good economist pursues a great good to come, at the risk of a small present evil.
1.3
The same thing, of course, is true of health and morals. Often, the sweeter the first fruit of a habit, the more bitter are its later fruits: for example, debauchery, sloth, prodigality. When a man is impressed by the effect that is seen and has not yet learned to discern the effects that are not seen, he indulges in deplorable habits, not only through natural inclination, but deliberately.
1.4
This explains man's necessarily painful evolution. Ignorance surrounds him at his cradle; therefore, he regulates his acts according to their first consequences, the only ones that, in his infancy, he can see. It is only after a long time that he learns to take account of the others.**2 Two very different masters teach him this lesson: experience and foresight. Experience teaches efficaciously but brutally. It instructs us in all the effects of an act by making us feel them, and we cannot fail to learn eventually, from having been burned ourselves, that fire burns. I should prefer, in so far as possible, to replace this rude teacher with one more gentle: foresight. For that reason I shall investigate the consequences of several economic phenomena, contrasting those that are seen with those that are not seen.

The Rest Here.

Waffle House® Waffles

2005-09-05T13:27:00.000-05:00

Waffle House® Waffles

It was two friendly Atlanta, Georgia neighbors who got
together in 1955 to build the first Waffle House in their
eventual 1200-restaurant chain. With the dimpled breakfast
hotcake as a signature item (and this is 3 years before
IHOP was founded!), the privately-held chain grew into
20 Southern U.S. states. Today tasty food at rock-bottom
prices, plus 24-hours-a-day service, makes Waffle House
a regular stop for devoted customers any time of the day
or night. And don't even think about referring to your server
as a waitress; they're called "associates."
For the best clone of the 45-year-old secret formula for these
waffles you really should chill this batter overnight in the
fridge as they do in each of the restaurants. But, hey, sometimes
you just can't wait, right? If you need instant gratification,
the recipe still works fine if you cook up the waffles the same
day. At least wait for 15-20 minutes after you make the batter
so that it can rest and thicken a bit. That'll give you time to
search for the waffle iron and heat it up. Also, you might need
some time to dust it off.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup half & half
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir to
combine.
2. Lightly beat the egg in another medium bowl. Add the sugar,
butter, and shortening and mix well with an electric mixer until
smooth. Add the half & half, milk, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well.
3. Add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture while beating. Mix
until smooth.
4. Cover and chill overnight. (You can use batter right away if you
like, but a good 12-hour chill makes the batter better.)
5. Rub a light coating of vegetable oil on a waffle iron. Preheat
the waffle iron. Leave the batter out of the refrigerator to warm
up a bit as your waffle iron is preheating.
6. Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter into the waffle iron and cook for
3 to 4 minutes or until the waffles are light brown.
Makes 6 waffles.

Governor Gives Troops Shoot-to-Kill Orders
Violence has also increased on the streets of New Orleans. Armed citizens have reportedly taken over some of the relief sites. Shots have been fired at police officers and rescue helicopters. There have been reports of rapes, murders and carjackings. Residents continue to break into stores in search of everything from food and water to guns to luxury items. The White House announced it would have zero tolerance for looters - even for those taking essential items needed to stay alive. Louisiana Governor's Kathleen Blanco warned that troops had orders to shoot to kill. She said "These troops are fresh back from Iraq, well trained, experienced, battle tested and under my orders to restore order in the streets. She went on to say "They have M-16s and they are locked and loaded. "These troops know how to shoot and kill and they are more than willing to do so if necessary and I expect they will."

Led Zeppelin Steals "Rock 'n Roll"

Jimmy Page admits source of "Rock and Roll":

JP:

When you've got the whole live creative process going
on, that's how things like "Rock and Roll" come out.

Q:

And how exactly was that?

JP:

I think we were attempting "Four Sticks" and it wasn't happening and Bonzo started the drum intro to "Keep a Knocking" (by Little Richard/Mick Underwood Drum Intro) and I played the riff automatically, that was "Rock and Roll" and we got through the whole of the twelve bar bit (the first verse). We said 'this is great, forget "Four Sticks" let's work on this' and things were coming out like that.

Richie Blackmore:

"Zeppelin, I liked their hard approach when they came out and did

'Whole Lotta Love.' I immediately tuned in with that type of style

because before when we were fiddling around with orchestras, I thought 'something's wrong, I'm not giving all that I can't Thanks to them for the inspiration. They got it from Jeff Beck, who got it from the Small Faces..."

Ritchie said he was motivated to try something like that in 1963. The

results ("I just freaked out") can be found on the B-side of the Outlaws'

version of "I Hear You Knockin'." Archaeologists and fans take note. From

there, via "You Really Got Me" ("The solo was too bad to be Page. It had to

be Dave Davies."), talk drifted to stealing.

"Everybody steals. It's healthy to steal. The thing is to disguise who you're

stealing from. I used to steal a lot from Jimi Hendrix."

CBGB's Going...

2005-08-22T22:43:00.000-05:00

People congregate outside of CBGB nightclub in New York, Friday, Aug. 19, 2005.

Deadline Looms for Famous New York Club

Hilly Kristal opened CBGB's in December 1973, envisioning a home on the Bowery for country music. And then the punks took over. The Ramones. Blondie. Talking Heads. Television. They all launched their careers on the cramped stage at Kristal's low-maintenance club, which became the mid-1970s epicenter for a musical revolution and still rocks on three decades later.

But it may be time for the last (slam) dance at the storefront bar with its familiar white awning. The club's lease expires on Aug. 31; a longstanding rent dispute could persuade the landlord, the Bowery Residents' Committee, to shut down the venerable birthplace of punk and find a new tenant.

Negotiations were ongoing over the new lease, with high-profile rockers Little Steven Van Zandt and Blondie's Debbie Harry coming to the aid of Kristal and the club. And although CBGB's won a recent court decision regarding its back rent, there's no guarantee that a new deal will be reached.

For now, the club's walls remain covered with band stickers and posters testifying to CBGB's long musical legacy. And even if it goes out of business, the club with its capacity of 350 people provided years of memorable moments.

On the other hand, as the late New York Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders once observed: "You can't put your arms around a memory."

You should not even be concerned about WGA.

Why? Heres why, just use AutoPatcherXP!

First off...WGA has been around since AutoPatcherXP July 2005, am i right?
(If not, then disregard the following statement) If Microsoft had a problem with AutoPatcherXP and WGA you would have heard something from them.
And if im not mistaken there has been no issues yet...

Second...Dont ask dont tell. If Microsoft doesnt ASK about it, why worry about it?

Third...the updates are completely free.

Fourth...if you are smart enough, all updates can be found without the use of WGA, for free, and Microsoft has had no problem with that at all.
Just get the filename of the updates/software you want from Microsoft's site and search for it at www.filemirrors.com (Note to mods: ITS A FREE, LEGAL SITE THAT MICROSOFT HAS NO PROBLEM WITH) and you will get the proper MICROSOFT.COM link (THIS IS NOT CIRCUMVENTING WGA. I REPEAT: THIS DOES NOT CIRCUMVENT WGA. THESE MICROSOFT LINKS ARE NOT PROTECTED BY WGA.).

You should just continue developing AutoPatcherXP, like normal, and if Microsoft has a problem they will contact you.

Besides, such a small number of XP users actually use AutoPatcherXP, so its not like its a huge problem.

You can disable the tool from within IE. Just go Tools > Addons > Disable Windows Geniuine Advantage

How to bypass the new Windows update verification:

go to IE options->Programs->Add-ons and disable Genuine ActiveX. Then just load the updates from the web site.

My Favorite Ride....

Ye Olde Mill,
My Favorite Ride.

Quote's about last week's accidental death of 7-year-old Jon-Kely Cassara of Norwalk. He was riding Ye Olde Mill at Playland Amusement Park in Rye, N.Y..

Elayne Cassara speaking about the day she took her son and his younger sister to the park.

"He had an incredible fear of being alone in the dark," said Cassara, wearing a pale pink suit and projecting her voice from the pulpit. "Satan knew his fear and worked all day to get him alone."

Long Dong Baldry, Gone

2005-08-11T16:11:00.000-05:00

Listen

TORONTO (Billboard) - British R&B singer Long John Baldry died July 21 in Vancouver, British Columbia, after battling a chest infection for four months. He was 64.

After playing folk and jazz in the late 1950s, Baldry became one of the founding fathers of British rock 'n' roll in the 1960s. Eric Clapton has often said that he was inspired to pick up the guitar after seeing Baldry perform.

While appearing at the Cavern in Liverpool in the early 1960s, Baldry befriended Paul McCartney, who invited him to perform for the internationally televised special "Around the Beatles" in 1964.

Later in the decade, Baldry, whose nickname was attributed to his 6-foot-7-inch height, played with influential British bands Blues Incorporated and Cyril Davies' R&B All Stars. He later fronted the Hoochie Coochie Men, which included Rod Stewart, who also joined Baldry in Steam Packet.

"Long John Baldry launched me on my musical journey," Stewart told Billboard. "He always had encouraging words when I was just getting out there as a performer at 16. He might not have been a legend in the proverbial sense, but he was a cult hero with his own following and has definitely been my mentor."

After a brief period with Bluesology (with Elton John on keyboards), Baldry went solo and scored a No. 1 U.K. hit with the ballad "Let the Heartaches Begin" in 1967. With production assistance from Stewart and John, Baldry recorded the 1971 album "It Ain't Easy" for Warner Bros. Records, featuring his signature song, "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock 'n' Roll."

After emigrating to Canada in the mid-1980s, Baldry recorded for EMI Music Canada. Beginning in 1991, he cut five albums for Stony Plain Records, which is slated to rerelease "It Ain't Easy" and its follow-up, "Everything Stops for Tea," this fall.

Since the early 1990s, Baldry was also known in Canada for his extensive voice work in commercials. He also provided the voice of Robotnik in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" computer game and narrated "Winnie the Pooh" recordings for Walt Disney Records.

Elton's "Someone" is Long Dong.
Richard Burnett

Long John Baldry had been on my "to interview" list since 1999. I'm a sucker for out, proud gay men and sadly I never got the chance to speak with the British blues legend before he passed on July 21.

There are many Long John stories and one really needs to sit down with the kids Baldry brought up - Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and especially Elton John and Rod Stewart - to fully appreciate the musical legacy of the man B.B. King (his friend) called a blues pioneer.

In a business where folks like Luther Vandross and Ricky Martin choose to remain in the closet so they can sell more records and concert tickets, Long John Baldry was defiantly out. And damn the consequences.

"John was not well accepted as a gay man by the blues community - it's a very macho industry," his partner of 28 years, Felix "Oz" Rexach, told me last week. "But he was more than well accepted as a performer in his field."

And few protégés loved him more than Elton John and Rod Stewart. In a rare interview, Baldry told my old colleague Bernard Gadoua in the now-defunct Montreal gay magazine Orientations, "Rod, he was singing on the platform at Twickenham railway station [in London]. In the beginning I hired him to play blues harmonica rather than sing. But he ended singing for my band. I offered him a full-time job. And Elton was always a very good pianist. He never sang when he started. He only played piano. He was with my band from November 1966 to May 1968."

When Elton - then named Reginald Dwight - left the band, he renamed himself after Baldry's saxophonist Elton Dean, and got "John" after Long John himself. And when Elton tried to commit suicide in 1968 because he was unhappy he was gay and was supposed to marry a woman he did not love, Baldry told him it was okay to be gay, a moment immortalized in Elton's 1975 hit Someone Saved My Life Tonight. The lyrics "Sugar Bear" refer to Baldry.
[I don't agree, Elton refers to his fiance in this reference. "Someone" in Someone Saved My Life Tonight is Long Dong Though - Kaptainsteve]

"We were sharing a pint at the Bag of Nails, and he was crying at the table, weeping really, saying how he didn't want to go through with the wedding," Baldry recently explained. He told Elton he didn't have to go through with it because "people like us don't get married."

But Baldry was, for all intents and purposes, married. He and "Oz" were together 28 years. "Many people believe touring is glamorous, but [Oz] knows there's nothing glamorous about being on the road," Baldry told Orientations.

Before he met Oz, though, the road did offer some perks. "When I was 20 or 30 years old there were lots of groupies. But I'm over 60 now and not many beautiful boys chase me any more. Unless they're interested in money that I don't have."

In the latter years, Oz says, "I was the one that always got blamed for everything that went wrong." He laughs, then adds, "Seriously, I was a great scapegoat."

Baldry became a Canadian citizen in 1980 and settled in Vancouver where, with Oz and Rod Stewart by his side, he checked into the Vancouver General Hospital four months ago battling a chest infection. Stewart paid for a lot of medical bills and, Oz says, "Rod was, as always, very supportive and came to see him in Vancouver, which gave him a big boost. They even made plans to do things when John got better."

Things, we now know, didn't get better. But Baldry's legacy lives on.

"John hated the 'living legend' tag, as people always expected him to do something 'legendary,'" Oz says. "No matter how appropriate, it was still a lot of pressure to try to live up to. But his legacy will go on. John made 40 wonderful albums, he was such a talent. There are so many young people out there who have yet to discover and appreciate his work. I'll miss him. It was incredible to share my life with such a generous man. Twenty-eight years is quite a journey. And I want to thank all who have sent [us] such wonderful messages of support."

The Making of a Legend by Rod Stewart (Reader’s Digest/Dec/ 2004)
'Long John Baldry launched me on my musical career.'- Rod Stewart
I was 18 and playing harmonica and singing a Muddy Waters song in a railway station, when Long John Baldry ran over to me from the other side of the tracks. I had just been to see him play at a club; he was one of the top Bluesmen in England. But John didn’t sing Muddy Waters songs – he knew Muddy Waters, had performed with him and with Ramblin' Jack Elliott too. And now he was asking,” Would you like to join the band?”

For me, just shaking his hand – knowing all the great musicians whose hand he’d shaken before – was mind-blowing. But so was John. Picture this elegant man with a proper English accent, never without a tie, a towering six-foot-seven. I was a huge fan and I was intimidated by his offer. Rod Stewart wasn’t in demand in those days; no one was interested. I immediately said yes. John had a knack for discovering talent. Ginger Baker, Jeff Beck and Brian Jones all worked with him early on. Elton John played piano in one of his bands, other Rolling Stones too – Charlie, Ron Wood, and Keith. In 1962, when the Rolling Stones were just getting started, they opened for him in London. Eric Clapton has said many times that John was one of the musicians that inspired him to play the Blues. And for their internationally televised special in 1964, the Beatles invited John to perform his version of 'I Got My Mojo Working'. In those days the only music we fell in love with was the Blues, and John was the first white guy singing it, in his wonderful voice. It was the true Blues and everyone looked up to him. I wasn’t very good on the harmonica, but my gravelly voice caught his attention. He was the first person of any stature to tell me, “You really have the gift. You have what it takes”. He turned some of us into musical legends, but it was never what he expected from himself. You didn’t hear John on the radio or see him on TV. He just played these clubs that I started going to when I was 16. At the time I hadn’t thought much about performing except as a way to meet girls. John put me on an amazing wage, close to $100 a week, which in the early ‘60s was an astronomical amount. I remember thinking, "If this lasts for 6 months I’ll be able to buy a little sports car which I’d been saving for. Of course, that would help me get some girls". We didn’t rehearse before my first performance with John’s band and I was very nervous so I had a few drinks. John introduced me as an 'up-and-coming' new singer and I sang John Lee Hooker's classic 'Dimples', which died a death! There was a horrible silence after my performance. But John was great. He’s one of the kindest guys, reassuring and positive. He just said, "Well come away, don’t worry about it."-

Then he had me come to his apartment the next day and go through some songs on the guitar to get the keys worked out. He always had encouraging words, especially when I’d mess up on stage. He’d just say, "Oh you’re young yet; it’ll all come to you". It wasn’t dismissive. It was always said in a way that made me feel he believed what he was telling me. John taught me so much – things that apply to my life and things that made me the human being I am today. He had tremendous stage presence. "You watch any great performer and they never stand at the microphone with their legs together." he said.

"Have a manly stance. Be bold on stage – bold as you would be playing soccer", which I was good at then. He taught me to project with my hands when I’m singing. See me onstage today and you’re seeing what John taught me. John was really looking out for me when we were on the road. My first time in a club outside of London, we played a club In Manchester (Kyle’s note – where Eric Burdon lived and started). He said, "Don’t worry just get up there and sing". I was nervous. A band mate gave me a pill – an amphetamine called a black bomber. I got onstage and played one song for 20 minutes, the same verse over and over. John found out and reprimanded the guy, firing him for corrupting me. He was very fatherly, always looking out for my welfare. As our careers progressed, John continued playing in clubs, which he’s still happily doing. He didn’t write songs; he’s never been ambitious that way. Although he made some albums that got radio play, he was never a huge recording star. But in the UK he did have a Number 1 hit with 'Let the Heartaches Begin'. He’s not particularly worried about financial gain or seeing himself in the papers. He’s comfortable as long as he can play his guitar. John may not be a legend in the proverbial sense, but he’s a cult hero with his own following and the fans who flock to his performances. He leaves me phone messages with that accent of his: "Dear Roddy, how the hell are you?" Every time I pick up a guitar, I play the old folk song 'Mother Ain't Dead', which I learned with John in the mid 60s. We both love the Blues, and we’re tremendously in love with American Folk music. In fact next time I’m touring & he’s in the neighborhood, I think I’ll ask him to come onstage and play 'Mother Ain't Dead', just the two of us. It’ll be great.

The following is from http://www.michaelrobertson.com/

4) Forgiving African debt is about fairness. African countries are saddled with more than $100 billion of debt. Unfortunately, those monies did NOT go to the citizens, but were siphoned off by corrupt dictators or used to fund public works projects of highly questionable value that benefited brutal political regimes.

There's a long list of African rulers, many still in power, who have amassed billions while citizens go hungry.

It seems unconscionable to demand repayment from loans we distributed with no accountability from citizens that have no ability to repay.

"Forgiveness" is a kind, gentle, friendly word, but it should be clear what's happening here. Billions of dollars have flowed from the taxpayers of wealthier nations to a handful of dictators who have no regard for liberty, democracy or human rights.

5) Fair trade is good, but I'm not sure it benefits Africa in the near term.There's no question that the United States is guilty of preaching a doctrine of "free trade" while at the same time protecting favorite industries like the sugar industry. It's sound economic policy to tear down tariffs and let goods flow to and from the most efficient producing countries. I hope the United States and other nations heed the call. However, I'm not sure freer trade will substantially benefit African nations.

Farmers in these countries aren't permitted to sell their products on the open market, but are forced to sell their crops at state-controlled marketing boards for predetermined prices. Additionally, the market for African agriculture products is not the United States, but other African nations where US trade policies will have no effect.

Peasant sub-Saharan farmers will find it difficult to compete on a global scale with agribusiness bolstered by technologically state-of-the-art fertilizers, pest control and genetically designed crops.

6) Half a trillion dollars hasn't improved the situation, so why would a trillion?

About half a trillion dollars has flowed to Africa over the last 45 years and there are no studies that indicate a positive impact.

Most shockingly, the IMF (International Monetary Fund) -- which along with the World Bank is responsible for the last $100 billion or so in aid -- recently issued two reports that find "little evidence of a robust positive impact of aid on growth." This from the organization responsible for distributing the money.

By many measures the monies have achieved the exact opposite effect because of the dramatically lower GDP in countries receiving aid.

Africa has seen its GDP decline during the last 50 years along with a decline in life expectancy. In comparison, 50 years ago southeast Asia was comparable to Africa in colonialism and economic stature. During the same time period, they received roughly just 20% of the financial aid of Africa, yet their GDP more than doubled.

There are studies that have demonstrated how well-intended aid has propped up cruel governments, crippled economic freedoms, and slowed meaningful change for Africa.

It's hard to see how two or three times the funds will yield dramatically different results than the first half trillion already spent.

7) Percentages can be misleading.Some have criticized the United States for "stingingly" giving just 0.16 percent GNI (gross national income) and calling for all countries to give a recommended 0.7 percent.

According to the Hudson Institute, the US Federal Government gave $19 billion -- far more than any other nation last year. And when added to private giving of Americans of $62 billion (which is substantially higher than European countries), you arrive at 0.68 percent.

By any measure Americans are generous today.

8) Smarter aid is the key. To fundamentally improve life for Africans, the aid needs to be packaged and delivered differently.

The last 50 years is a long tale of great political minds failing at the task. It's much more difficult than simply signing a check.I think a positive step is linking aid to meaningful economic and political reform, such as attempts by the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

I don't believe it's possible to improve the financial fate of Africans without simultaneously bettering their political and economic conditions.

Many nations are in the clutches of brutal dictators who withhold many basic economic rights.

For example, peasant farmers in many countries can't even own their own land. Without these liberties, it's impossible for aid to flow to those most in need. (Those African countries with economic freedoms are considerably better off -- for instance, Botswana has a GDP more than 3 times higher than the average African nation.)

Waiting For A Train

Lyrics: Jimmie Rodgers
Music: Jimmie Rodgers

Performed by - Dickey Betts

All around the water tank, waiting for a train

A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk

He said "If you got money, boy, I'll see that you don't walk

I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show

"Get off, get off, you railroad bum" and slammed the boxcar door

He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love

The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and the stars up above

Nobody seems to want me, or lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco, going back to Dixieland

My pocket book is empty and my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train.

Sorry Folks, but this Live-8 shit really bites.

The best musid all day was a XM
satelite radio commercial using the RARE DEE DEE RAMONE "Hop Around" song.

Dee Dee was a better "artist" than all of these fagg Live-8 performers put together.

Hop Around is HERE!

What really pisses me off the most is the socialistic and Orwellian agenda
of the mindset of the Live-8 sympathizers.

If you want to send your own god-damned money to Afrika, go ahead, why is anybody stopping you? Why do these asswipes feel they need to get presidents of countries to Force you to support their idea of charity?

French Philospher Frederick Bastiat called it false philanthropy. Charity is voluntary. Unvoluntary charity is slavery.

By the way... The cost, according the Live-8 organizers for this Aid to Afrika, is estimated to be in the 100's of billions of dollars and they want you to pressure your governent to support this!

Fuck You Bob Geldolf... they should call you Bob Adolf.

Great Balls Of Fire...

HERNANDO, Miss. (AP) — A judge in Mississippi has approved a divorce settlement between Jerry Lee Lewis and his sixth wife, Kon-artist Kerrie Lynn McCarver Lewis.

It's been a long day and it's been an expensive day," Lewis said outside the courthouse.

The Commercial Appeal, quoting sources familiar with the case, said Kerrie Lewis, 42, would receive $250,000 immediately and $30,000 a year for five years.

Lewis, a young and healthy stud of 69, is known for such hits as Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On is available to any interested young wimin'.

He married the gold-digging Kerrie Lynn McCarver on April 24, 1984. They lived together at his 40-acre ranch near Nesbit, just south of Memphis where she "managed" his merchandising and fan club.

Lewis also will pay $20,000 in child support annually for four years for 18-year-old Jerry Lee Lewis III, the newspaper reported.

Lewis will keep his ranch.
"Sure, I plan to live there," Lewis told the newspaper. "It's been my home for about the past 40 years. That's where I'm going to be."

Jerry Lee had accused Kerrie the slut of adultery and she had questioned his marital fidelity.

She claimed to have married the Killer for a million good reasons. She believed her husband's income topped $1 million annually.

J.W. Whitten, Lewis' road manager, said uncertainty about court dates had prevented Lewis from accepting a number of long-term bookings.

Whitten said the settlement clears the way for Lewis to resume a regular concert schedule and to complete work on an album scheduled to be released this fall.

"We leave for Europe June 24," he said. "We needed this to be over just so we could get back to making some money."

The Killer is loose again!

Killer's New 2005 Comeback Album!!!!

HURLEY'S EX CREDITED WITH SAVING JERRY LEE LEWIS LIZ HURLEY's son DAMIAN is being credited with saving rock 'n' roll legend JERRY LEE LEWIS' life after signing him up to record a new covers album with a number of rock greats.

Film producer STEVE BING, a long time fan of the fallen GREAT BALLS OF FIRE star, and pal JIMMY RIP have reportedly pumped $1 million (GBP526,000) into Lewis' comeback album, which features collaborations with RINGO STARR, ERIC CLAPTON, SIR MICK JAGGER and KEITH RICHARDS among others.

And Lewis' manager/daughter PHOEBE insists the offer to record the much-anticipated album, which is due out later this year (05), gave her ailing father a spark of life.

She tells newspaper the LOS ANGELES TIMES, "I was so worried about him that I moved back in with him about five years ago. He was in bad shape, very depressed , very poor diet, problems with his marriage (to KERRIE LYNN McCARVER).

"We didn't know what to make when Steve and Jimmy showed up. They told us they wanted to help make his music come to life again... They've done just that."

Lewis himself admits recording the album with Rip and Bing has given him a new lease of life: "When you have people like this working with you and Keith Richards and GEORGE JONES wanting to record with you, it's wonderful."

The album features Lewis' version of LED ZEPPELIN's ROCK + ROLL and a new version of THE BEATLES' I SAW HER STANDING THERE with on-off touring partner LITTLE RICHARD on backing vocals.

Party At Neverland Tonite - Everyone Under 13 Free!

2005-06-13T16:28:00.000-05:00

A jury rightfully acquitted Michael Jackson on Monday of molesting Gavin Arvizo at his Neverland ranch, vindicating the pop star who was the victim of mother-and-son con artists (led by mother Janet Ventura-Arvizo) and a prosecutor with a vendetta, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon.

Snedden said

"We don't select victims of crimes and we don't select the family. I'm not going to look back and apologize for anything that we've done."

"He's just not guilty of the crimes he's been charged with," said Ray Hultman, juror on the case.

So, M.J. was found innocent of the charges and accusations by a jury of his peers. Doesnt' this make him a victim? Did he select to be a victim? Where is Snedden's righteousness on this?

Bottom line is that M.J. IS a victim. He is a victim of those who get their rocks off persecuting others who are different than they are. By accusing others of doing the evil things that haunt their own imaginations they cleanse themselves of their internal demons and guilts.
They are not afraid of the Michael Jackson's, they are afraid of themselves. People like Michael Jackson are like mirrors that reflect that darkest recesses and bowls of their souls.

M.J. Played in Snedden's court and under Snedden's rules, he deserves an apoligy now that Snedden's system AQUITTED HIM OF ALL CHARGES. Who is the real victim here and who's family really should have been put on Trial here?

You know what really scares all the accusers, that Michael Jackson just may be who he said he was along. Maybe he is Peter Pan. Maybe he just wanted to create a childhood he never had for himself and others. Maybe his intentions were pure. But, where does this leave all the accusers? It leaves them standing alone with nothing but their nasty dirty accusations, the product of their own dark and hallow souls, and whose intentions tried in vain to suck the little remaining life out of a fragile shell of a man.

Where can I find Utica Club?

2005-06-12T07:55:00.000-05:00

Just as young consumers might wear `70s-look sneakers, sip `50s cocktails or download `80s hair band tunes, many are bellying up to the bar for the beers Grandpa drank — maybe a Rheingold, a Leinenkugel's, or a Utica Club.

One brand that hopes that lightning can strike again is Utica Club in upstate New York.

Once a big seller in the Northeast, the brand was down to selling 100,000 cases annually just a few years ago. Most Utica Club drinkers were 55 plus. Then, Pabst-like, it picked up with younger people. Sales are up nine percent from last year, said Fred Matt, vice president for the Matt Brewing Company

"All of the sudden we're getting calls on a weekly basis: `Where can I find Utica Club?'"

Matt said the company is contemplating a modest ad campaign that could resurrect old jingles in bars and a cable TV commercial. Nothing too much, though: the company doesn't want to kill the positive buzz.

"More than anything," Matt said, "we're just letting it go by word of mouth,"

Where Is The Amendment Banning Pot???

2005-06-06T14:32:00.000-05:00

SAN FRANCISCO - One of the lead plaintiffs in the medical marijuana case decided by the
U.S. Supreme Court on Monday says she'll defy the ruling and continue to smoke pot.

"I'm going to have to be prepared to be arrested," said Diane Monson, who smokes marijuana several times a day to relieve back pain.

The Supreme Court ruled that federal authorities may arrest and prosecute people whose doctors prescribe marijuana to ease pain, concluding that state laws don't protect users from a federal ban on the drug.

The Bush administration had argued that states, even the 10 states with medical marijuana laws, could not defy the federal Controlled Substances Act, which declares marijuana to be not only illegal, but of no medical value.

500 Distinguished Economists Say:
Legalize Marijuana

Dr. Jeffrey Miron, visiting professor of economics at Harvard University, has released a report that estimates that replacing marijuana prohibition with a system of taxation and regulation similar to that used for alcoholic beverages would produce combined savings and tax revenues of between $10 billion and $14 billion per year.

In response, a group of more than 500 distinguished economists -- led by 92-year-old Nobel Prize-winner Dr. Milton Friedman -- released an open letter to President Bush and other public officials calling for "an open and honest debate about marijuana prohibition," adding, "We believe such a debate will favor a regime in which marijuana is legal but taxed and regulated like other goods."

Miron's paper, "The Budgetary Implications of Marijuana Prohibition," argues that:

* Replacing marijuana prohibition with a system that treats marijuana like alcohol is currently treated would save approximately $7.7 billion in government expenditures on prohibition enforcement -- $2.4 billion at the federal level and $5.3 billion at the state and local levels.

* Revenue from taxation of marijuana sales would range from $2.4 billion per year if marijuana were taxed like ordinary consumer goods to $6.2 billion if it were taxed like alcohol or tobacco.

The Marijuana Policy Project, which funded the study, points out the impact of such sums. $14 billion would, for example, cover the securing of all "loose nukes" in the former Soviet Union in less than three years.

"As Milton Friedman and over 500 economists have now said, it's time for a serious debate about whether marijuana prohibition makes any sense," said Rob Kampia, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project. "We know that prohibition hasn't kept marijuana away from kids, since year after year 85% of high school seniors tell government survey-takers that marijuana is 'easy to get.' “

Of course, as libertarians we’d much rather see marijuana totally decriminalized and completely free from taxes -- and alcohol treated the same way. The last thing the federal government needs is more money, from any source. Still, reform such as that proposed in this report would go a long way towards ending the worst aspects of marijuana prohibition.

“It’s absolutely disgraceful...” (Dr. Milton Friedman on Marijuana Prohibition)

“There is no logical basis for the prohibition of marijuana. $7.7 billion is a lot of money, but that is one of the lesser evils. Our failure to successfully enforce these laws is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people in Colombia. I haven't even included the harm to young people. It's absolutely disgraceful to think of picking up a 22-year-old for smoking pot. More disgraceful is the denial of marijuana for medical purposes."

-- Dr. Milton Friedman, quoted in Forbes magazine:
