  • Skywatchers acquire second par Skywatchers acquire second parcel

    • From: AraChiya
    • Description:

      On February 5, closing proceedures were conducted at the Remax office in Ocala to purchase the second parcel of land of the new tribal nation. A brief walk along the land was conducted and a forming sink hole dicovered. A detailed survey is scheduled for February 14 and then work to remove the rock from the cave entrance on the first parcel will continue.

      The photo shows half of the parcel as seen from the road. The south property marker is shown by the red flag and the citrus tree. Many of the vines are invasive, not native to the area. Nearly across the street is yet another cave entrance.

  • Behind the Scenes of the Walk Behind the Scenes of the Walk Out of Space Shuttle Endeavour Crew (STS-130)

    • From: DaveSirak
    • Description:

      Commander George Zamka will lead the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station aboard space shuttle Endeavour. Terry Virts will serve as the pilot. Mission Specialists are Nicholas Patrick, Robert Behnken, Stephen Robinson and Kathryn Hire. Virts will be making his first trip to space.

      Shuttle Endeavour and its crew will deliver to the space station a third connecting module, the Italian-built Tranquility node and the seven-windowed cupola, which will be used as a control room for robotics. The mission will feature three spacewalks.

      The first launch attempt on February 7, 2010 was scrubbed due to high clouds that would obscure viability for ground cameras and the shuttle crew in the event they had to make an emergency landing at the Kennedy Space Center after liftoff or Return to Landing Site (RTLS).

      Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

      A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward.  Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite.
       
      This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant.   Make sure you read as well as listen forward and backward. 
                    
      This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old.   The contest was titled "u @ 50" by AARP. This video won second place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause.

      Today is a sad day for me. A very good friend of mine decided to end her life early this morning.

      I ask myself Why? Thinking back, were there signs? Could I have prevented it had I noticed something? I dont know.

      I feel sad and guilty. If you are contemplating suicide, dont do it. Seek help. You only hurt the ones who love and care for you. Dont do it please. The hurt you bring is horrible.

      Here we go again. It seems some black people are not liking the word Negro on the 2010 Census. What next from this group of constant complainers. Quannel X a member of the New Black Panther Movement is upset and stated that Negro is an abbreviation for that dreaded N word. Although over 55,000 blacks chose the box next to Negro in the 2000 census when it also offered Black and Afro-American choices, now it hurts their feelings.

  • Erasing history.... Erasing history....

    • From: JohnJay

      N.C. Schools: Those Who Erase History

      By William A. Wilson

      It is one thing to forget, ignore or misinterpret our nation’s history, but a group of uber-liberal educrats in North Carolina is taking the radical revisionism of America one step further. These politically-correct, taxpayer-funded “thought police” are actually trying to erase American history from our children’s textbooks.

      What do they want to replace it with? Radical environmental propaganda from left-wing extremists who view American liberties as obstacles to overcome, not safeguards to be defended.

      In perhaps the most glaring example to date of our government’s descent into socialist madness, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction is attempting to remove all American history prior to 1877 from its textbooks, replacing it with a “global studies” curriculum.

      Rather than learning about George Washington crossing the Delaware or Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves (while studying from documents like the Declaration of Independence or the Emancipation Proclamation), high school students in North Carolina would instead be indoctrinated with more multicultural rhetoric and the fuzzy science of climate change (while studying form the Koran and the “Copenhagen Accord”).

      This sort of raw indoctrination is worse than misguided – it’s treasonous.

      If this new anti-American curriculum is adopted, American children would no longer learn about the principles on which this nation was established – and the blood that was shed in defense of those principles – they would instead be spoon-fed Obama administration talking points on how intolerant, imperialist America owes a huge financial debt to the rest of the world, one that we can start repaying immediately by helping developing nations “combat global warming.”

      “What we are trying to do is figure out a way to teach (history) where students are connected to it, where they see the big idea, where they are able to make connections and draw relationships between parts of our history and the present day,” the chief academic officer for North Carolina’s school system told FOX News.

      What rubbish. These government censors are trying to rewrite history, pure and simple.

      By removing the entire first century of American history from our children’s textbooks, these radicals are doing more than just putting a “liberal spin” on things – they are trying to fundamentally alter the world view of future generations of U.S. citizens. They are trying to rip out American democracy by its roots and replace it with what Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer has dubbed the “New Socialism,” the exploitation of climate-based fear-mongering as a means to facilitate a massive wealth transfer from American taxpayers to third-world governments, many of which are hostile to the United States.

      Joseph Goebbels would no doubt be proud of such a curriculum – and the objective behind it.

      Unable to convince the “America of today” to blindly follow Obama’s socialist vision, these “Green Nazis” are endeavoring to create an “America of tomorrow” that is more receptive to their agenda – even as the scientific case for climate change continues to crumble all around them.

      This attempted indoctrination must not stand. Not only must this so-called curriculum be rejected, but the educrats pushing it must be dismissed and never allowed near our children again.

      An abiding respect and appreciation for America’s bedrock freedoms and founding wisdom are the only things currently keeping these socialist hordes from overrunning this county – which is no doubt why they are now being targeted.

      America was founded on a set of fundamental principles – a core collection of “self-evident” truths that forms the basis of who we are as a people. We cannot allow those truths to be erased – or those principles to be discarded – for anything, least of all the latest liberal zeitgeist.

  • 10 Step to Being a Young Liber 10 Step to Being a Young Liberal

    • From: RightAway
    • Description:

      1. Wear a Che T-shirt or one that promotes a tyranical mass murderer. It’s really cool and hip.

      2. Very smugly tell everyone, especially those older then you, that they just sound so naive and just so don't understand.

      3. Always respond with “it’s very complicated” when you have no clue what you are talking about (which will be all the time).

      4. At all times, no matter what and despite what ever the conversation is, call everyone you can a racist, a homophobe and, insult America while you are at it.

      5. Laugh very arrogantly and say “Christians actually believe in creationism”.

      6. Convince yourself that guns are evil, and not the evil gun holder (who had a really really bad childhood with self esteem issues).

      7. Call your old-fashioned grandparents racist teabaggers who are stuck in the past (but do it with some respect).

      8. Learn to say “bi partisan” in every breath but stab everyone in the back as much as you can.

      9. Learn to hate and insult 24/7 the evil white rich, job providing corporations, Limbaugh, Hannity,  Beck, Fox, conservatives, Bush/Cheney and religion. This is a must!

      10. Learn to despise all the money that you work for everyday (if you in fact work) trying to obtain in mass quantities and never, ever donate to anything unless it is your verbal support, or, if it benefits other liberal folk.

      Make it 11. Always promote the beauty of pot smoking: it enhances music, the senses, sex,  etc. "know what I mean man?"

      "Don't Squat With Yer Spurs On

      There's more ways to skin a cat than stickin' his head in a boot jack and jerkin' on his tail.

      Never ask a man the size of his spread.

      Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.

      After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: when you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

      If you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

      Never smack a man who's chewin' tobacco.

      It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.

      When dealin' with a slick son of a b...., start off by pinnin' him down and changin' his oil.

      Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.

      Never follow good whiskey with water, unless you're out of good whiskey.

      If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

      Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.

      Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.

      Always drink upstream from the herd.

      Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly.

      If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

      When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be suprised if they learn their lesson.

      The best way to have a quiche for dinner is to make it up and put it in the oven to bake at 325 degrees. Meanwhile, get out a large T-bone, grill it, and when it's done, eat it. As for the quiche, continue to let it bake, but otherwise ignore it.

      There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.

      When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else.

      Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back.

      Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was.

      The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.

      A smart ass just don't fit in a saddle.

      Never miss a good chance to shutup.

      The Left

      "President Obama's State of the Union address was the greatest American rhetorical embrace of fascist trope since the days of Woodrow Wilson. I am not suggesting Obama is a Nazi; he isn't. I am not suggesting that he is a jackbooted thug; he isn't (even if we could be forgiven for mistaking Rahm Emanuel for one). President Obama is, however, a man who embodies all the personal characteristics of a fascist leader, right down to the arrogant chin-up head tilt he utilizes when waiting for applause. He sees democracy as a filthy process that can be cured only by the centralized power of bureaucrats. He sees his presidency as a Hegelian synthesis marking the end of political conflict. He sees himself as embodiment of the collective will. No president should speak in these terms -- not in a representative republic. Obama does it habitually." --columnist Ben Shapiro

      Super Bowl ad for the Census -- a fine use of taxpayer money

      "The U.S. Census Bureau ... squander[ed] $2.5 million on a half-minute Super Bowl ad starring D-list celebrity Ed Begley Jr., plus two pre-game blurbs and 12-second 'vignettes' featuring Super Bowl anchor James Brown. It's a drop in the census boondoggle bucket (otherwise known as the tax-subsidized National Democratic Future Voter Outreach Drive). The Obama White House has allocated a total of $340 million toward an 'unprecedented' promotional blitz for the 2010 census. That's on top of $1 billion in stimulus money siphoned off for increased census 'public outreach' and staffing. In all, the census will triple its total 2000 budget to $15 billion. Ads pimping the census have already appeared during the Golden Globe awards and will broadcast during the Daytona 500 and NCAA Final Four championships. Some $80 million will be poured into multilingual ads in 28 languages from Arabic to Yiddish. Racial and ethnic groups have been squabbling over their share of the pie. The U.S. census is a decennial census mandated by our Constitution. Should Americans know about it? Sure. Should the P.R. budget become a bottomless slush fund in recessionary times? Surely not." --columnist Michelle Malkin

      Government

      "Last month, Obama announced a new set of tax credits for so-called green companies. One window company was on the list: Serious Materials. This must be one very special company. But wait, it gets even more interesting. On my Fox Business Network show on 'crony capitalism', I displayed a picture of administration officials and so-called 'energy leaders' taken at the U.S. Department of Energy. Standing front and center was Cathy Zoi, who oversees $16.8 billion in stimulus funds, much of it for weatherization programs that benefit Serious. The interesting twist is that Zoi happens to be the wife of Robin Roy, who happens to be vice president of 'policy' at Serious Windows. Of all the window companies in America, maybe it's a coincidence that the one which gets presidential and vice presidential attention and a special tax credit is one whose company executives give thousands of dollars to the Obama campaign and where the policy officer spends nights at home with the Energy Department's weatherization boss. Or maybe not. ... On its website, Serious Materials says it did not get a taxpayer subsidy. But that's just playing with terms. What it got was a tax credit, an opportunity that its competitors did not get: to keep money it would have paid in taxes. Let's not be misled. Government is as manipulative with selective tax credits as it is with cash subsidies. It would be more efficient to cut taxes across the board. Why should there be favoritism? Because politicians like it. Big, complicated government gives them opportunities to do favors for their friends." --columnist John Stossel

      You learn the truth in the last sentence.

       

       

       

      Global warming

       

      The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and insome places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hithertounheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise andmake most coastal cities uninhabitable.

       

       

      I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922 as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post.

      AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD ANY MORE OF YOUR OWN.

       

      Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

      My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60. Now he's 97 years old, and we don't have the slightest clue where in the hell he is.
        

      I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
        
      The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again      .
        

      I have to walk early in the morning,  before my brain figures out what I'm doing..
        
      I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 dollars, and I haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.
        
      Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate..
        

      I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

      The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say,
      'Well, he/she looks good doesn't they.'
        

      If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.
        
      I know I have gotten a whole lot of exercise in the last few years, just trying to get over the hill.

      We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
        
         AND

      Every time I start worrying too much about how I look, I just find a Happy Hour and by the time I leave, I look just fine.
