Top Television Shows
According to Lycos the following list is the Top 10 Television shows. I watch more TV since installing a DVR, simply because I can record and watch it when I have time instead of trying to fit into the Networks schedule. Only #8 & #9 are on my recorded list. …
Cluster Munitions Ban
Ninety-two nations signed on to a treaty banning the manufacture and use of cluster munitions in Oslo, Norway yesterday. Here's one compelling story as to why Afghanistan switched its vote to supporting the ban: An Afghan teenager who lost both legs in a cluster bomb explosion helped persuade his country to change its stance and join nearly 100 nations in signing a treaty Wednesday banning the disputed weapons. Afghanistan was initially reluctant to join the pact — which the United States and
Who will be the next DNC Chair?
The DNC is in the red and is now shilling commemorative coffee mugs to try to pay down its debt. The new DNC chair, who will be selected by President-elect Obama. Since President-elect seems disinclined to bail out the DNC with his own campaign funds (he is permitted to give as much as he wants to the Party from those funds), it will be interesting to see who he selects. Meanwhile here's a blast from the past, in a year when the Party had to elect a chair. Guess who wrote it? This Saturday in
Continuing the Cindy convo:
I posted before about a conversation I was having with a woman named Cindy over at Nine Deuce's blog. Here's more of it: Cindy, comment 3 and comment 4: Trinity, Thanks for your response, as well. Excellent points, and I appreciate your sharing personal experience for clarification, also. I would like to clarify one point. I did say the following in my previous post, but would like to repost that part as it may have been lost in my long-winded narrative. “As a woman in recovery, involved in
Nice leadership, Mr President-Elect..
Barney Frank is calling out Barack Obama: Democrats are growing impatient with President-elect Barack Obama's refusal to inject himself in the major economic crises confronting the country. Obama has sidestepped some policy questions by saying there is only one president at a time. But the dodge is wearing thin. "He's going to have to be more assertive than he's been," House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., told consumer advocates Thursday. Frank, who has been dea
Juvenile Humor
I'm laughing so hard, I'm literally crying. It's not the article that's so funny, it's the comments below. 130000 breasts lost at sea
20 Questions
According to this article one in five young adults has a personality disorder. That’s not news to me. I’ve seen how they dress and listened to enough of their music to know for certain that figure is correct. To be fair, that figure was probably not a lot smaller in 1980 when I finished high school. We just had much better music. Young adults are faced with a complex world, and wrong choices about school, work, partners, etc. can have real serious consequences. My father, who ran a bank trust
Going, going...
Four days til' Vegas. Fact: Craps is the one casino game that gives off the truest odds, making it the one table game least in favor of the house. Slots must be the worst. And we still haven't figured out baccarat. If A.J. Burnett goes off the board to the Braves, the Yankees will have lost their No. 2 choice in this free agent market. Almost makes you want to throw another $10 million at CC, just in case. Just guessing out loud, if Derek Lowe (who doesn't seem to be Bronx bound, does he?)
Talking points to Automaker Bridge loan;
Dear Union Members Our economy is in crisis, and now we are on the brink of losing our U.S. auto industry. If GM, Ford and Chrysler collapse, the effects will be felt everywhere. From machinists at parts manufacturers to beauty salons in auto plant towns, millions of jobs would be lost—deepening the impact of the current recession for all. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and our lawmakers need to take decisive action now to avoid unthinkable consequences. Urge Congress to off
Midway has 50 days to come up with $150 million
"""""""""" Sumner Redstone's sale of the struggling videogame publisher may have been good news for him (as good as new can be after you've lost $500 million-plus in equity) but it has made things even tougher for company management. As diclosed in an SEC filing today (I had help understanding what it means), the change in control triggered a provision allowing holders of the "Mortal Kombat" publisher's debt notes to request payment of the principle. Given Midway's dire financial state, they'r

Canada sweeps 'Fossil Awards' at UN climate negotiations
Canada's credibility as an environmental leader on the world stage faced serious criticism today as Canada was awarded a record-breaking four "Fossil of the Day" awards at the UN Climate Change Conference taking place in Poznan, Poland. The "Fossil of the Day" awards are presented to the country or countries that are considered to most obstruct or delay negotiations during the annual conference. They are selected by the Climate Action Network, a panel representing more than 400 NGOs from aroun
OK, so at least we'll install the car seat this weekend.
HOOOOOO BOY, did the comments on that last post give me a chuckle. Trust me when I say that above all else, they were helpful. I had not thought about something as simple as just making a list and placing it somewhere near the bag, for instance. I have said before that I am not much of an outside-the-box thinker, so to someone like me, “packing a bag” means… well, PACKING A BAG. As in, I believed I should have prepared a fully packed suitcase with everything I could possibly need and want ready
War and Peace
Just to let you know, the Aces will be blogging live Friday and Saturday from Rutgers and Giants Stadium from the state sectional football finals (I refuse to call them state finals, which is the subject of my page 2 column tomorrow). One person who wont be there is my friend and photographer Tyson Trish, who is in Iraq right now following a local group of soldiers. You can read what he is up to here.... As for me.... The only game that really has my interest is the Saturday game between
Emmitt Drops the Hammer
Former Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith was impressed with the new digs that are currently under construction in Arlington. But he's not exactly thrilled by what he's seeing from his old team these days, despite the fact they are 8-4 and on a three-game winning streak. "Mediocre," he said. "Mediocre in the sense of disappointed because I saw this team being a lot better than it is. Chemistry has a lot to do with it and for some reason the chemistry of the Cowboys this year has been thrown off,
I Finished A Sweater! Naturally there well be no photographic evidence of it
Birdsong from A View from Sierra County tagged me with the Sixth Picture meme... The directions are: *Go to your sixth picture folder and pick your sixth picture. *Pray you remember the details. *Tag five others. The directions didn't include pesetering your tagger to explain the concept of picture folders but after that was clear to me, I realized that I did - sort of - have picture folders. Just not enough pictures in folders six or seven (I had three pictures in folder six, thought
Obama's birth certificate; you can't keep a good conspiracy theorist down
by Jay McDonough Did you know the Apollo 11 moon landings were faked by NASA? Did you know 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by the U.S. government? Did you know the government manages Area 51, where alien spacecraft and its occupants are being studied? Well, maybe you don't but many do. The believers are quite certain and absolutely dedicated to convincing the rest of us that moon landings and 9/11 were nothing more than big shams and that the rest of us are soooooo naive to believe otherw

Common Mistakes in Theological Research #2: Blind to the Forest
In the last CMTR post, I mentioned the common mistake of trying to cover too much in a piece of research (like a thesis). It is a discipline to reign in your argument and narrow your focus so as to keep the discussion tight. This also makes the piece easier to evaluate as an examiner, book reviewer, or general reader. Here I would like to highlight the opposite problem - narrowing your topic so much that you lose the forest for the trees. Richard Hays (in a group discussion) brought this prob
