Unusual symptoms of asthma

Patients suffering from episodes of asthma do not always have the typical symptoms of asthma such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, and wheezing (symptoms of airway narrowing). Instead, patients can have symptoms that may not appear to be related to asthma. These "unusual" asthma symptoms include

* rapid breathing,
* sighing,
* fatigue and inability to exercise properly,
* difficulty sleeping,
* anxiety and difficulty concentrating,
* chronic cough without wheezing,
* protracted cough after an upper respiratory illness,
* recurrent diagnosis of walking pneumonia, and
* noises emanating from the chest usual during exhalation.

To complicate matters, symptoms of asthma are not consistent and often vary from time to time in an individual. In some patients, symptoms are influenced by diurnal factor...

CAPE TOWN, South Africa – Don't mess with Germany, on or off the field.

Miroslav Klose scored twice to move into a tie for second on the all-time World Cup scoring list, and Germany backed up its pre-game trash talk with an emphatic 4-0 rout of Argentina in the quarterfinals Saturday. The dominant display — along with Germany's two other four-goal games — should demand the attention of everyone still playing in South Africa.

"It was absolute class," Germany coach Joachim Loew said.

Hard to argue with that.

Argentina had been one of the tournament's darlings, with coach Diego Maradona's every move causing a stir and superstar Lionel Messi showing you don't need to score to be sublime. The Argentines rolled into the quarterfinals as one of only two teams to win all its games — the Netherlands was the other — and had been so powerful they never trailed.

No wonder a star-studded crowd was on hand at Green Point Stadium, with German chancellor Angela Merkel, Mick Jagger, Leonardo DiCaprio and South Africa's own Charlize Theron were all spotted in the VIP seats.

But Germany overwhelmed the Argentines, and shut down Messi in the process. The reigning FIFA world player of the year leaves South Africa without a goal, and was in tears after the game.

"He played a great World Cup," Maradona said. "And I tell you, to see Messi cry in the dressing room, whoever says that he doesn't feel pride for his shirt is stupid."

Maradona was equally devastated. He walked slowly to midfield with his hands jammed in his pockets when the game ended, and couldn't muster any energy or enthusiasm at his news conference.

"I'm as disappointed as all Argentinians," said Maradona, who cast doubt on his future as national coach. "To see my country lose a football match is very hard for someone who has worn the shirt."

Germany will play Spain, a 1-0 winner over Paraguay, in the semifinals Wednesday in Durban. This will be Germany's third straight trip to the semis and its 12th overall — nobody has more. But the three-time champions haven't won a title since 1990.

Maybe that's why their celebration was so low-key — the Germans are hoping for something bigger in a week. Players hugged and high-fived each other before walking around the edge of the field to salute the crowd. Even a post-game visit from Merkel was taken in stride.

The End of the World October 21, 2011???? I Don't Think So......

2010-07-02T23:23:00.001-07:00

Judgment Day!

hourglass

And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. Revelation 9:5
The End of the World
October 21, 2011

The purpose of this tract is to inform you of the great urgency there now is in the world for each and every person to be reconciled to God. The Bible is the Word of God! Everything the Bible declares has the full authority of God Himself. Now, at this time, information is coming forth from the Bible which clearly reveals God’s plan for Judgment Day and the end of the world itself. The Bible has opened up its secrets concerning the timeline of history. This information was never previously known because God had closed up His Word blocking any attempt to gain knowledge of the end of the world. We read about this in the book of Daniel:

Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

However, now in our present day, God has opened up His Word (the Bible) to reveal a great deal of truth concerning the end of time (and many other teachings). Also, in the same chapter of Daniel, it says:

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

God is now opening up His Word because we have arrived at the time of the end. For this reason, it has become very obvious to the serious student of the Bible that we are now living in the last few days of earth’s history.

…it will not be a surprise attack. In fact, regardless of when Israel attacks Iran the element of surprise does not exist. This confrontation has been discussed for several years and everybody knows about it so there will be no surprises. Israel is ready for it. Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas are ready for it. It’s just a matter of when.

July of 2010 has plenty of merit to be the month of the event. We already know that Iran has enough uranium for two nuclear bombs, it just has to be enriched to a higher grade. That right there is enough to get things started but there are other factors involved also.

The date will also depend upon the targets that Israel plans to hit. If the nuclear plant at Bushehr is on the target list, the window for attacking this plant before it goes online is about to close as we discussed in a previous news story.

This reactor takes a lot of nuclear fuel to run it, approximately 82-85 tons of fuel, which was delivered from Russia in January of 2008. This can produce a tremendous amount of radiation. Also, the spent fuel from this reactor can be reprocessed to plutonium to make atomic bombs.

It doesn’t make sense for Israel to knock out the enrichment facilities and leave this reactor and let Iran use the reactor and then they reprocess the spent fuel for the plutonium to make nuclear weapons.

Now let’s look at this scenario: let’s say Israel waits to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities after the Bushehr plant goes into operation. The plant is active and producing electricity and Israel bombs this plant. The explosion takes out the cooling system and the employees that run the reactor. They can’t shut it down and it overheats and the core explodes and goes into a nuclear meltdown and releases radiation into the atmosphere as the reactor did in Chernobyl in 1986 and turns into a scale 7 on the International Nuclear Events Scale.

Depending on wind direction, it could take the radiation cloud to anywhere in Iran, south across the Persian Gulf to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen or westward to Kuwait , Iraq, Jordan, Syria or even to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan etc.

Israel does not want to get into this situation to where a country has to be evacuated because of nuclear fallout. This would really put Israel into a heap of trouble.

So if the reactor at Bushehr is on the attack list, the attack must happen soon before the reactor goes into operation. As we stated before, Russia says it will go online in August and Iran says it will go online in September.

Either way, time is running out for Israel.

So a surprise attack is really out of the question. How can it be a surprise when the talk of Israel attacking Iran is all over the internet?

When Israel attacks, they will have to do it at a time when it is safest for their pilots to do so. This means during the night and use the darkness as a cover.

Now the darkest nights of the month will occur during the new moon when there is no moonlight shining upon the earth, which occurs on July 11th. Of course, it doesn’t have to be at the darkest point for Israel to attack, but it might help when Iran starts to shoot back at them. Anything Israel can do to protect their pilots should be done.

So If Israel is going to use the darkness of the new moon for an attack, then we could give it anywhere from let’s say the 6th to the 16th with the 11th of July being the date of the new moon.

But there are several reasons why this date could be delayed.

1. The nuclear reactor at Bushehr is not on the target list.
2. Israel is not concerned about radioactive fallout.
3. The reactor could go online in September instead of August.
4. The date could be changed for the reactor to go online.
5. Iran stops their nuclear program. (Yeah, right.)

If September is the true date for the reactor to go into operation, rather than August, then this could give Israel another month before the attack.

If the reactor at Bushehr is not on the target list, then Israel could possibly have another six months before they need to attack.

Either way, we are going to see some serious fireworks within the next one to six months.

Get ready.

According to Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro, the United States and Israel will trigger a nuclear war before Friday that will cause the word’s richest countries to “suddenly disappear.”

Writing in his regular op-ed column “Reflections,” the former Cuban President states that missiles will fly as soon American and Israeli naval forces attempt to inspect Iranian merchant vessels.

I have absolutely no doubt that as soon as the American and Israeli warships are deployed –alongside the rest of the American military vessels positioned off the Iranian coasts– and they try to inspect the first merchant ship from that country, there will be a massive launching of missiles in both directions. At that moment exactly the terrible war will begin. It’s not possible to estimate how many vessels will be sunk or from what country.

The iconic Communist believes this conflagration will occur on or before July 2.

Obama has committed to attend the quarterfinals match on July 2, if his country’s team makes it to that stage. He supposedly knows better than anyone that the quarterfinals will not be contested because very serious developments will take place before that; or at least he should know.

Castro writes that the ensuing nuclear war might escalate to include Russia.

US Attacked and Completely Destroyed Iraqi and Iranian Oil Platforms

Here is another little known fact for all the imperialists who think the U.S. has the right to do whatever it wants, wherever it wants, whenever it wants, to whoever it wants. It seems your dogma was run over by your karma.

Ships are not so secure or armed that a company of commandos could not be dropped on to a ship to commandeer the ship and ram it into an oil platform.

With the U.S. penchant for bombing Iraqi and Iranian oil platforms, how difficult would it be to send a torpedo or depth charge down a mile to detonate and destroy the subsurface well and then attack the platform? If the U.S. attacks Iran, does anyone think it is not likely they can and will attack oil platforms in the same manner the U.S. has attacked their platforms in the past? Iran does have submarines. Here is a great idea for terrorists or state actors who are looking for another way to attack America. What happens if the enemies we created decided to take the cue from the Gulf of Mexico disaster and the 9/11 disaster and combine the two and start ramming ships into oil platforms?

As Iran opened its bourse, a commodities market that Iran seeks to eventually be used to set benchmark prices for crude and for countries to buy and sell oil in currency other than the petrodollar, its internet cables we repeatedly cut. Experts concur that this could only happen through a deliberate act. Some of the cuts were attributed to ships dragging six ton anchors across the ocean floor. It is surmised that some of the other cuts were the direct result of submarines or saboteurs.

It is also interesting that the country the U.S. liberated from Saddam is now blanketed in depleted uranium. The people, free from Saddam, are now free to die from the poisoning caused by depleted uranium.

What you target and attack of the enemy’s can also be targeted and attacked by the enemy. Now that the U.S. has a vested interest in Iraq oil platforms working, its vulnerability is now in trying to protect that which it shown it was willing to destroy.

Here is proof that this is already being done: www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/apr/26/iraq.rorymccarthy

As car bombs became the poor man’s air force, speedboats may become the poor man’s navy. If speedboats and subs begin hitting oil platforms, the U.S. will find when it has to defend everything, it will end up defending nothing

As the U.S. funded the Taliban and taught them how to expel invading powers, the U.S. military now faces defeat in Afghanistan by these same actors who learned these lessons exceedingly well. Now a country with no air force, navy, tanks, heavy weapons, or combined-arms army exposes the truth: No country ever had a military so powerful that it could prevent war in times of peace or guarantee victory in times of war.

As violence becomes the principle upon which the U.S. is founded, lying becomes its native language. It has been said that the U.S lies like the Israelis, and the Israelis lie like people blink. All this talk of democracy is rubbish if the government directs disinformation and propaganda against its citizens. Democracy depends on the truth, but government through deception is tyranny. We are not really free if we can't control our own government and its policies. And we will never do that if we remain ignorant. If the power elite get what they want through deception as opposed to force, this attack on republican self-governance is all the more dangerous because misplaced trust has allowed a nation to let an enemy inside the gates.

Protracted war, as the ones in the Middle East are, always serve to endanger the freedom of a democratic country, this is just the path down which our rulers in Washington have decided to take us. These crimes against humanity, regardless of what the facts for war end up proving in the way of malevolence of motive, will go unpunished as people decide to give mass murder legitimacy when committed as part of policy by actors that are more used car salesmen than statesmen.

Americans have witnessed the repeated failure of the military to impose peace by war, democracy by coercion, and unanimity by slaughtering dissidents. A nation of people who seem to refuse to submit will never grant their support to external invaders who attempt to establish order and impose their will through bullets and bombs. Most Americans do not know that under Saddam there were no incidents of suicide bombers. So, it can be said that it was Bush who brought car bombs to Iraq because of his ignorance of second and third order effects.

http://www.congresscheck.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/sm3_launch.jpg

Last week twelve US warships and at least one Israeli warship passed through the Suez Canal on their way to the Red Sea. Included among the US fleet is the aircraft carrier, USS Harry S Truman. Today we learn that the Israeli Air Force have set up base at a Saudi airfield near Tabuk in north-west Saudi Arabia despite earlier denials from the Saudi government that it had given the Israelis permission to use its airspace to attack Iran. We also learn that American and possibly Israel forces are also gathering at bases in Azerbaijan at the north-west border of Iran.

While Israel’s war against Iran has absolutely nothing to do with Iran’s nuclear weapons program – Iran doesn’t have one and the Israelis and the US are fully aware of that – Israel and the US will need to launch any attack against Iran by first attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities in order to maintain the illusion that the casus belli for the war is, indeed, Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Since many of Iran’s nuclear facilities are in the north-west corner of the country, it should not be surprising that Azerbaijan be used by Israel and the US as a springboard to launch their attack against Iran. However, once the initial attack has been launched, US and Israeli air forces will then likely concentrate on pounding Iranian political and defence institutions for the purpose forcing Iran to capitulate and sue for a peace through the UN which the US will conditionally concede to providing Iran rids itself of President Ahmadinejad and gives up its nuclear program.

But, while the attack on Iran will be seen by the world as the main event, the real purpose for the war will be happening on Israel’s doorstep.

At the same time as Iran is being attacked, Israel, using the excuse of pre-empting retaliation for attacking Iran, will attack both Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza and then move to occupy south Lebanon up to the Litani River and the Gaza Strip. Israel will also likely fully occupy the West Bank.

This is the scenario that the US and Israel would prefer to see happen; a quick overwhelming move against all of Israel and America’s enemies that concludes with the defeat of the Iranian regime and, thus, regime change, together with the demise of Hezbollah and Hamas. This then will give the Israelis a free hand in creating a Greater Israel that ultimately includes the Gaza Strip, south Lebanon up to the Litani River, the West Bank and the Golan Heights. It will also provide the US with an even stronger ally in the Middle East and also a neutered enemy.

But can it work the way the Israelis and the US plan?

Invasion of Iran by the US is out of the question, (though the insertion of some special forces is highly likely in order to co-ordinate air strikes). Iran is a vast country that is some three times larger than Iraq. The US, considering its current ground troop commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan would not be able to effectively invade Iran. It would have to rely on an overwhelming aerial bombing campaign in order to prevail.

The instant any attack is launched against Iran, or Hezbollah or Hamas, there will likely be instant retaliation against Israel by at least Hezbollah and possibly Hamas. Both entities would, by this stage, realise that this fight will be to the finish. The fighting therefore will be intense and fearsome and there will be many casualties – mostly, of course, civilians. In a worst case scenario, depending on the intensity of the bombardment of Israel by Hezbollah, Israel may threaten the use of nuclear weapons against Lebanon unless Hezbollah cease their rocket attacks against Israel. Likewise, if Iran retaliates with a rocket attack against Israel, both the US and Israel may threaten the use of nuclear weapons against Iran. In the very worst case scenario, if Iran or Hezbollah used chemical or biological weapons, Israel and /or the US would actually use nuclear weapons with little or no warning in retaliation.

Whatever happens, a war against Iran will have devastating consequences one way or the other and for all sides.

It’s time for the peoples of the world to stand up and be heard before it is too late. Source

Big Storm Brewing In The Gulf

What is going to happen if and when a hurricane forms and heads into the oil spill? Well, hurricanes have been known to pull fish right out of the oceans and drop them inland many miles away. I am sure the same will apply with the gulf oil. A true meaning to the words Black Rain. As we speak, there is a storm brewing in the gulf area. It is still classed as a tropical storm, but is expected to grow.This will be a toxic down pour. Any people that live in its wake that have wells may now have water drink for a very long time. Water tables will be poisoned as well as plants, animals that need a drink. The ripples from an event is almost hard to fathom. May be beyond our imaginations what the effects may be in the end. I just hope that the people of the gulf are prepared in case of the worst scenario actually happens. Here is just hoping for the best.

A low-pressure area over the western Caribbean now has an 80% chance of developing into a tropical depression as it heads toward the Yucatan Peninsula and the Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center reports in their 2:00 p.m. update.

If a depression and then a storm does form, it would be named Alex, and could play havoc with Gulf oil cleanup operations. Tropical depressions have wind speeds of below 39 mph, and become named tropical storms when their wind speeds surpass 39 mph.

An Air Force reconnaissance plane will be investigating the disturbance later today to determine whether a tropical cyclone has formed, the center says.

"Shower activity has become a little more concentrated this morning ... and surface pressures are falling," the center reports. "Upper-level winds are gradually becoming more conducive for development ... and the system is likely to become a tropical depression before it reaches the Yucatan Peninsula in a couple of days."

Regardless of whether the system is a depression or named tropical storm, extremely heavy rain will affect Central America and the western Caribbean over the next few days, according to meteorologist Jeff Masters of the Weather Underground.

Honduras will be the nation most at risk from the system, he notes, as 4-8 inches of rain could drench northern parts of the nation over the next two days. Heavy rain of 3-6 inches can also be expected in northeast Nicaragua, Cuba, Belize, the Cayman Islands and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.

As for its potential affect on the USA, Masters says the computer models that forecasters use to predict its path can't seem to make up their minds yet: "A likely landfall location is difficult to speculate on at this point, and the storm could hit virtually anywhere along the Gulf of Mexico coast given the current uncertainty in its development."A low-pressure area over the western Caribbean now has an 80% chance of developing into a tropical depression as it heads toward the Yucatan Peninsula and the Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center reports in their 2:00 p.m. update.

For weeks I've been reading stories of the methane gas bubble, or the methane gas bubbles under the waters near, or under the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. I, of course, have no idea of the truth of any danger warnings for the area...but they ARE scary. See a video below.

Methane Gas Bubbles Under Gulf Floor?

There seem to be two schools of thought. The most prevalent is that high methane gas levels can deplete the oxygen and kill all the sea life - that's all of the sea life. ATexas AandM University oceanography professor, John Kessler, has measured the methane levels in the spill area, and he says they are very high but have not yet reached a critical level. Two months from now might be a different story, he says:

Methane occurs naturally in sea water, but high concentrations can encourage the growth of microbes that gobble up oxygen needed by marine life.

This report out of New Orleans:

At least 4.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas — and possibly almost twice that amount — have leaked since April 20. That's based on estimates from the U.S. Geological Survey's "flow team" that 2,900 cubic feet of&

"This is the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history," said John Kessler, a Texas AandM University oceanographer.

Small microbes that live in the sea have been feeding on the oil and natural gas in the water and are consuming larger quantities of oxygen, which they need to digest food. As they draw more oxygen from the water, it creates two problems. When oxygen levels drop low enough, the breakdown of oil grinds to a halt; and as it is depleted in the water, most life can't be sustained.

The second 'event' being talked about is an explosion of a methane gas bubble near the spill site so large that it ruptures the ocean floor, explodes far above the water surface, causes wide death and destruction, with tsunamis following - not to mention that the existing well-head will be obliterated:

The stretching and compression of the earth's crust causes minor cracking, called faults, and the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico has many such fault areas. Fault areas run along the Gulf of Mexico and well inland in Mexico, South and East Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the extreme western Florida Panhandle. The close coupling of new fissures and cracks with natural fault areas could prove to be lethal.

A methane bubble this large -- if able to escape from under the ocean floor through fissures, cracks and fault areas -- is likely to cause a gas explosion. With the emerging evidence of fissures, the tacit fear now is this: the methane bubble may rupture the seabed and may then erupt with an explosion within the Gulf of Mexico waters. The bubble is likely to explode upwards propelled by more than 50,000 psi of pressure, bursting through the cracks and fissures of the sea floor, fracturing and rupturing miles of ocean bottom with a single extreme explosion.

Numerous documents on this subject say there is some belief that methane bubbles have been the cause of disappearing ships and airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle. Who knew?

The Daily Mail says a methane gas bubble actually triggered the explosion on the rig:

The Gulf of Mexico oil rig disaster was caused by a bubble of methane gas that shot oil 240ft into the air while BP executives were on board celebrating the platform’s safety record.

The highly combustible gas burst through several seals and barriers before exploding, according to interviews with rig workers conducted during BP’s internal investigation.

Workers on the Deepwater Horizon exploration rig, 50 miles off the Louisiana coast, told investigators that they set a cement seal at the bottom of the well, then attempted to put a second seal below the sea floor.

A chemical reaction caused by the setting cement created heat and a gas bubble which destroyed the seal.

Safety adviser Professor Robert Bea, of the University of California, said: ‘A small bubble becomes a really big bubble, so the expanding bubble becomes like a cannon shooting the gas into your face.’

Up on the rig, the first thing workers noticed was the sea water in the drill column suddenly shooting back at them, rocketing 240ft in the air, he said. Then gas surfaced and flooded into an adjoining room with exposed ignition sources.

‘That’s where the first explosion happened,’ said Professor Bea. ‘Then there was a series of explosions that subsequently ignited the oil that was coming from below.’

The BP executives at the party were injured but survived, according to one account.

A question: If the Gulf Coast area is found to be in danger of an enormous explosion that could kill or maim the people and demolish property in the affected areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, would our Government believe it and evacuate the area? Just asking...

The following video describing the dangers of methane gas bubbles cannot be verified - at least by this blog. I don't know who is doing the talking - it sounds like a radio interview. It may be the biggest hoax in modern history, but it offers food for thought. If you have a comment about the veracity of the information, please share it with me in comments.

Is It Raining Oil in Florida? This is Just the Beginning
© Sean Gardner/EPA
The Greenpeace senior campaigner Lindsey Allen walks through a patch of oil from the Deepwater Horizon on the breakwater in the mouth of the Mississippi river where it meets the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana

(SOTT.net) As early as May 9 it was announced that FEMA evacuation protocol for forest fires in and around Tampa, Florida could be activated at a moment's notice in the event of the oil slick approaching Florida's coastline. One proposal is to undergo a 'controlled burn' of surface oil in the Gulf to prevent the oil reaching Florida's coast. This would result in highly toxic fumes blowing ashore. In fact, toxic fumes have already been reported elsewhere as Gulf residents complain of breathing difficulties and nausea:

Oil is semi-volatile, which means that it can evaporate into the air and create a heavy vapor that stays near the ground -- in the human breathing zone. When winds whip up oily sea water, the spray contains tiny droplets -- basically a fume -- of oil, which are small enough to be inhaled deep into the lungs. We know that's happening in the Gulf Coast, because people are reporting a heavy oily smell in the air. Already my colleagues in Louisiana are reporting that people in the coastal community of Venice, Louisiana are suffering from nausea, vomiting, headaches, and difficulty breathing.

The following eyewitness account came to our attention yesterday:

Hi all,

Making this quick, don't feel well. About 4:15pm or so eastern, coming back from Tampa, Florida north on Veteran's Expressway...about 7 miles perhaps from SR 54...it sprinkled some gray watery and solid black oil on my car. Thought it was bugs, but so fast did not make sense and windshield wipers just smeared it. Got out of car at store and looked on the paint and solid black dots on my car...I touch? huh? it's wet? it's OIL!!!!!

I had several folks verify it before I sprayed it off and it came off easier than the few love bugs. Two hours later still wet like OIL! nope, not water, smell it, OIL!!! CONTINUES HERE

People of this great nation realize our Gulf Coast cities and those who call those areas home, are being attacked by our federal government. Additionally, Americans that reside in the state of Arizona, are also under attack by the same enemy.

The time is now. Turn off the TV and get informed via the Internet. Then physically get up and converge on either your State Capital or to the states that need help. Disregard those who attempt to stop you, sacrifice in some cases will be necessary but you will not sit alone, and will be rescued by others. We out number them 5000 to one.

Al-Qaida warns of new, deadlier attacks
Photo by: Associated Press

Terror organization taunts Obama, threatens to "not show restraint.

Al-Qaida's US-born spokesman warned President Barack Obama Sunday that the militant group may launch new attacks that would kill more Americans than previous ones.

In a taunting, 24 minute message that dwelled on Obama's setbacks, including the loss of Massachusetts Senate seat to the Republicans, Adam Gadahn set out al-Qaida's conditions for peace with the US, including cutting support for Israel and withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

Israel National News is reporting :

Egypt allowed at least one Israeli and 11 American warships to pass through the Suez Canal as an Iranian flotilla flotilla approaches Gaza.

What should we make of the fact that 11 U.S. warships and an Israeli warship are sailing up the Suez Canal on their way to the Red Sea?

Well, this is - on the surface - a faceoff over Iran's support for relief ships trying to sail into Gaza. Specifically, Iran has said it will have Iranian military ships escort the flotilla providing humanitarian goods to Gaza to make sure it arrives safely. On the other hand, the U.S. has backed Israel's blockade of Gaza.

Tensions are obviously high between the U.S. and Israel, on the one hand, and Iran on the other. The U.S. and Israel have talked for years of bombing Iran's nuclear sites.

As the Telegraph wrote last July:

Israeli warships have deployed to the Red Sea for what has been described as a rehearsal for a possible attack on Iran

Israeli and Egyptian officials said two ships had sailed through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea.
Media reports in Israel said the two Saar-class missile ships had been sent as a "message" to the Tehran government....

An armada of U.S. warships in the Red Sea is similarly meant to convey a credible threat to attack Iran.

Indeed, because the Red Sea connects with the Arabian Sea (and see this), a large navy presence in the Red Sea will escalate tensions dramatically.

This could quickly lead to a real confrontation. This is especially true because warships from hostile nations could be in very close quarters, and one mistake (such as accidentally bumping into a foreign ship) could unintentionally lead to war.

But we can't look at this faceoff in a vaccum.
Intelligence Failures

Remember that there have been numerous intelligence failures in the past which have led to war.

For example, the U.S. Navy's own historians now say that the sinking of the USS Maine -- the justification for America's entry into the Spanish-American War -- was probably caused by an internal explosion of coal, rather than an attack by the Spanish.

It is also now well-accepted that the Gulf of Tonkin Incident which led to the Vietnam war was a fiction (confirmed here).

And two lies were used to justify the 1991 Gulf War: the statement that Iraqis murdered Kuwaiti babies and the statement that a quarter of a million Iraqi troops were massed on the border with Saudi Arabia (see also this article)(technically, the statement about Kuwaiti babies did not come from the U.S. government, but from a public relations firm hired by the government).

"He Did It"

While - as documented above - inaccurate reports have helped rally support for war, other methods for drumming up support have been used as well.

As I wrote in February:

Forget the claims and allegations that false flag terror - governments attacking people and then blaming others in order to create animosity towards those blamed - has been used throughout history.

This essay will solely discuss government admissions to the use of false flag terror.

For example:

* The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950's to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected president

* Israel admits that an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind "evidence" implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed) (and see this and this)

* The well-respected former Indonesian president admits that the government probably had a role in the Bali bombings

* The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: "You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security" (and see this)(Italy joined NATO in 1949, years before the bombings occurred)

* As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in the 1960's, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings [while the Joint Chiefs of Staff pushed for Operation Northwoods to be carried out, cooler heads prevailed; President Kennedy or his Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara apparently vetoed the plan]

There are many other instances of false flag attacks used throughout history proven by the historical evidence. See this, this and this. The above are only some examples of governments admitting to using false flag terror.

Iran

Many high-level people have warned of the use of a false flag attack to justify war with Iran. For example:

* Jimmy Carter's former National Security Adviser and Obama's initial foreign policy adviser- Zbigniew Brzezinski - told the Senate that a terrorist act might be carried out in the U.S. and falsely blamed on Iran to justify war against that nation

* Congressman Ron Paul told Congress: "I am concerned, however, that a contrived Gulf of Tonkin- type incident may occur to gain popular support for an attack on Iran"

* And a member of the British Parliament (George Galloway) stated: "there is a very real danger" that the American government will stage a false flag terror attack in order to justify war against Iran

Thus, if any elements within the U.S. or Israeli government wish to find an excuse to attack Iran, they could either manufacture false intelligence or carry out a false flag attack.

A war with Iran would benefit no one other than the giant defense contractors would plunge the world into a very deep depression (notwithstanding George W. Bush's sentiment to the contrary). Indeed, if China and Russia side with Iran, the U.S. might end up losing against Iran.

May cool heads prevail.

Elections official hits TV to affirm no Hawaii birth

Tells network affiliate hospital certificate non-existent, cites racism for controversy
Posted: June 20, 2010

By Joe Kovacs
© 2010 WorldNetDaily

In direct contradiction of the White House storyline, the former Honolulu elections official who caused a national stir this month when he told WND Barack Obama was "definitely" not born in Hawaii, and that no long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate even exists for the president in the Aloha State is now reaffirming those claims to a network television affiliate.

Tim Adams, the former senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu was interviewed by Gene Birk of ABC affiliate WBKO-TV in Bowling Green, Ky.

Video of the 9-minute interview has been posted on YouTube and is embedded here:

"As of the time I was in Hawaii working in the elections office," said Adams, "we had many people who were asking about the eligibility of Senator Obama to be president. I was told at the time there is no long-form birth record, which would have been the case if President Obama was born in [a] hospital in Honolulu. There is no such form in Hawaii."

The hottest book in America is the one that exposes the real Obama! Get your autographed copy only from WND!

As WND first reported June 10, Honolulu's current elections administrator, Glen Takahashi, confirmed that Tim Adams was indeed "senior elections clerk" in 2008, in charge of verifying voters' identity, especially those involving absentee ballots.

Adams, 45, also noted he's willing to testify about his claims in a court of law.

He continued in his TV interview: "[Obama] does have a [Certification] of Live Birth, which is given to children of families who are residents of Hawaii when children are born outside the state. So, I assert that he was born outside of Hawaii. Now, we can't tell you where he was born. Some of his family members said that he had been born while his mother was on a trip overseas.

This short-form Certification of Live Birth image, which is not the same as a long-form, hospital-generated Certificate of Live Birth, was released by the Obama campaign June 2008.

"When I mentioned this, it got people's attention. They also did not like my conclusions that since President Obama does have a [Certification] of Live Birth from the state of Hawaii, that he was born a U.S. citizen. And during the initial part of the campaign, when questions about his eligibility to be president came up – including Senator McCain because he was born in Panama – that both these men were vetted by the same process as any other presidential candidate. So, while we may not agree, some people say that because of Article 2 of the Constitution, President Obama was not eligible to be president. That's not a question that we can answer.

"The people who are in charge of saying who is eligible to run for president have already vouched that he was indeed an eligible candidate. If we disagree with that, we don't need to go after the man. We need to look at the process by which candidates are vetted for public office."

The interviewer, apparently looking to reaffirm what he was just told, asked Adams again, "So let me understand what you're saying. There is no long-form birth certificate, because he was not born on U.S. soil."

"Correct," responded Adams.

"But there is a Certification of Birth, which is what this is," said Birk, as he looked at a photocopy of Obama's purported short-form, computer-generated Certification of Live Birth, a document which does not specify the hospital where Obama might have been born nor any doctor's name or signature.

"A facsimile of it has been put online," said Adams.

Birk responded, "Yes, and in your opinion, this means regardless of where he was born, he was a U.S. citizen at birth."

"Yes," said Adams, reiterating his personal opinion that Obama is eligible to hold office and that the question would have been answered when the Democratic National Committee vetted him to run for public office prior to the 2008 election.

(Story continues below)

Adams' claims are starkly different from those of the White House.

"The noble truth is that the president was born in Hawaii, a state of the United States of America," Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told WND.

Linda Lingle, the Republican governor of Hawaii, has also publicly voiced the alleged exact location of Obama's birth, saying "the president was, in fact, born at Kapi'olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii."

Since WND's original report, Adams has come under fire from some critics online who suggested Adams may hold an anti-black philosophy and that his assertions were possibly racially motivated.

Adams, though, said it's people still asking Obama to prove his eligibility who tend to have race-based sentiments against the commander in chief.

Tim Adams, the former senior elections clerk for Honolulu, says President Obama was "definitely" not born in Hawaii, and a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Obama does not exist in the state.

"Some people are basically racist," Adams said. "It's a question of race. They don't like having someone who's not white, or they don't like someone who's from such a different heritage as President Obama, because his family has ties to Africa. His family also has ties to middle America, so to me it's also a non-issue. The other thing is, is he is a liberal, he's a Democrat. There's a lot of political rancor in the country in the last decade, starting with President Bush, and then we had 9/11. We've had the wars overseas. And this entire fight between the Left and the Right has become so Balkanized that anything someone finds, they say, 'Oh look, he lied about being born inside the United States. There must be something terrible there!' But they're extrapolating something that's not true."

Adams also lamented the poor state of civil discourse in America.

"I think we're getting to the point where no one can talk to anyone else," he explained. "The rhetoric has become so divisive, that there is no way for us to work out these issues that our country's facing. So I kind of dove in and tried to start a conversation and have paid for it dearly."

When asked what he had learned from this experience, Adams said, "It's very difficult for anyone to speak publicly on a controversial issue in the country, even if they do so with the best intentions."

Adams, a Hillary Clinton supporter who now teaches English at Western Kentucky University while he works on his master's degree, burst onto the national scene in a WND story in which he asserted that Obama was not born in Hawaii as the White House claims and that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Obama does not exist there.

"There is no birth certificate," he said. "It's like an open secret. There isn't one. Everyone in the government there knows this."

Copy of original long-form birth certificate of Susan Nordyke, born in Honolulu the day after Obama's reported birthdate. President Obama has never produced any document like this.

"I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity," Adams explained. "I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record [for Obama]."

At the time, there were conflicting reports that Obama had been born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, as well as the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children, also located in the capital city. So Adams says his office checked with both facilities.

"They told us, 'We don't have a birth certificate for him,'" he said. "They told my supervisor, either by phone or by e-mail, neither one has a document that a doctor signed off on saying they were present at this man's birth."

To date, no Hawaiian hospital has provided documented confirmation Obama was born at its facility.

Adams, 45, stressed, "In my professional opinion, he definitely was not born in Hawaii. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he was not born in Hawaii because there is no legal record of him being born there. If someone called and asked about it, I could not tell them that person was born in the state."

He now expects his former co-workers still working in the elections office to say little, if anything, about the nonexistent birth certificate because they fear for their jobs.

"If you're working in the civil service and you say this, you're done," Adams said. "Don't expect to have a good career, especially since the governor is on the other side. Embarassing them is not good for your career."

WND's original report about Adams' claims has already been made into a YouTube video, getting more than 275,000 hits:

To date, President Obama has still not provided simple, incontrovertible proof of his exact birthplace. That information would be included on his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate, which Obama has steadfastly refused to release amid a flurry of conflicting reports.

The White House has only proffered on the Internet a "Certification of Live Birth" to assert he was born in Hawaii, but that document was available to children not born in Hawaii at the time of Obama's birth.

Many people remain unaware a child could be born somewhere else and still receive a Hawaii Certification of Live Birth. State law specifically allows "an adult or the legal parents of a minor child" to apply to the health department and, upon unspecified proof, be given the birth document.

"Anyone can get that [Certification of Live Birth]," said Adams. "They are normally given if you give birth at home or while traveling overseas. We have a lot of Asian population [in Hawaii]. It's quite common for people to come back and get that."

As WND reported last July, the Kapi'olani Medical Center trumpeted – then later concealed – a letter allegedly written by President Obama in which he ostensibly declares his birth at the facility.

A photograph taken by the Kapi'olani Medical Center for WND shows a letter allegedly written by President Obama on embossed White House stationery in which he declares the Honolulu hospital to be "the place of my birth." The hospital, after publicizing the letter then refusing to confirm it even existed, is now vouching for its authenticity, but not its content. The White House has yet to verify any aspect of the letter.

"As a beneficiary of the excellence of the Kapi'olani Medical Center – the place of my birth – I am pleased to add my voice to your chorus of supporters," Obama purportedly wrote.

This excerpt from the alleged Obama letter is perhaps the first formal declaration from the president about his exact birthplace. The White House has still not confirmed if the letter or its contents are authentic.

But the authenticity of that letter remains in doubt. Since WND raised questions about the veracity of the letter itself and its content, the White House has refused to say if the message is real and if its text originated with the president.

Besides his actual birth documentation, documentation that remains concealed for Obama includes kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records.

US, Israel Warships in Suez May Be Prelude to Faceoff with Iran

US, Israel Warships in Suez May Be Prelude to Faceoff with Iran

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Follow Israel news on Twitter and Facebook.

Egypt allowed at least one Israeli and 11 American warships to pass through the Suez Canal as an Iranian flotilla approaches Gaza. Egypt closed the canal to protect the ships with thousands of soldiers, according to the British-based Arabic language newspaper Al Quds al-Arabi.

One day prior to the report on Saturday, Voice of Israel government radio reported that the Egyptian government denied an Israeli request not to allow the Iranian flotilla to use the Suez Canal to reach Gaza, in violation of the Israeli sea embargo on the Hamas-controlled area.

International agreements require Egypt to keep the Suez open even for warships, but the armada, led by the USS Truman with 5,000 sailors and marines, was the largest in years. Egypt closed the canal to fishing and other boats as the armada moved through the strategic passageway that connects the Red and Mediterranean Seas.

Despite Egypt’s reported refusal to block the canal to Iranian boats, the clearance for the American-Israeli fleet may be a warning to Iran it may face military opposition if the Iranian Red Crescent ship continues on course to Gaza.

The warships may exercise the right to inspect the Iranian boat for the illegal transport or weapons. Newsweek reported that Egyptian authorities could stop the ship for weeks, using technicalities such as requiring that any official documents be translated from Farsi into Arabic.

The magazine’s website also reported that the Iranian navy is the weakest part of its armed forces. Tehran has already backed down from announced intentions to escort the Iranian ships with "volunteer marines” from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

The Iranian news site Hamsayeh.net reported, “The move might be in connection to U.S. self-inflicted embargo against Iran aimed at inspecting Iran bound ships for suspected goods related to the country’s nuclear program.”

Another battle on the high seas may involve one, and possibly two, Lebanese vessels that are aimed at challenging Israel’s sovereignty over the Gaza coastal waters. Hizbullah, gearing up for a reaction to a possible clash between the Israeli Navy (pictured) and the Lebanese boats, has deployed rocket units near Lebanese ports, according to unofficial military sources.

Israel has warned U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that Israel will use force, if necessary, to stop the boats, one of which is carrying approximately 70 women passengers and crew organized by Hizbullah supporter Samar al-Hajj. Her husband is one of several jailed suspects involved in the assassination of former Lebanese anti-Syrian Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Hizbullah has denied it is connected with the Lebanese flotilla, but it has been reported that Al Hajj met with Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah last month. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

Report: Van der Sloot retracts murder confession
FILE -- In a June 4, 2010 file photo Dutch citizen Joran van der Sloot is escorted by police officers outside a Peruvian police station, near the border with Chile in Tacna, Peru. A Dutch newspaper that interviewed Van der Sloot in his prison cell says he has retracted his confession in the killing of a young woman in Peru.
From Associated Press
June 21, 2010 8:09 AM EDT

AMSTERDAM (AP) — A Dutch newspaper that interviewed Joran van der Sloot in his prison cell says he has retracted his confession in the killing of a young woman in Peru.

De Telegraaf says the 22-year-old Dutchman says he only signed papers admitting killing Stephany Flores because he was intimidated during interrogation and had been promised he would be transferred to the Netherlands.

Van der Sloot is the main suspect in Flores' May 30 killing in a Lima hotel, exactly 5 years after the still unsolved disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway on Aruba. Both women were last seen alive in his company.

He has several times given and retracted admissions of involvement in Holloway's disappearance.

WASHINGTON: Majorities in many Western and some Muslim countries are willing to consider military action against Iran to prevent the Islamic republic from obtaining nuclear weapons, a global poll has revealed.

The Pew Research Centre's poll conducted in 22 countries found majorities or pluralities in 16 countries endorsing the possibility of military action.

Americans are among the most supportive of a military option to deal with Iran with 66 per cent of those who oppose a nuclear-armed Iran saying they would consider the use of force, a figure second only to Nigeria's 71pc.

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A dire report circulating in the Kremlin today that was prepared for Prime Minister Putin by Anatoly Sagalevich of Russia's Shirshov Institute of Oceanology warns that the Gulf of Mexico
sea floor has been fractured “beyond all repair” and our World should begin preparing for an ecological disaster “beyond comprehension” unless “extraordinary measures” are undertaken to stop the massive flow of oil into our Planet’s eleventh largest body of water.

Most important to note about Sagalevich’s warning is that he and his fellow scientists from the Russian Academy of Sciences are the only human beings to have actually been to the Gulf of Mexico oil leak site after their being called to the disaster scene by British oil giant BP shortly after the April 22nd sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform.

BP’s calling on Sagalevich after this catastrophe began is due to his being the holder of the World’s record for the deepest freshwater dive and his expertise with Russia’s two Deep Submergence Vehicles MIR 1 and MIR 2 [photo below] which are able to take their crews to the depth of 6,000 meters (19,685 ft).

According to Sagalevich’s report, the oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico is not just coming from the 22 inch well bore site being shown on American television, but from at least 18 other sites on the “fractured seafloor” with the largest being nearly 11 kilometers (7 miles) from where the Deepwater Horizon sank and is spewing into these precious waters an estimated 2 million gallons of oil a day.

Armada of U.S. and Israeli Warships Head for Iran

19 Jun 2010 | 8:45 am Infowars

June 19, 2010

More than twelve U.S. and Israeli warships, including an aircraft carrier, passed through the Suez Canal on Friday and are headed for the Red Sea. “According to eyewitnesses, the U.S. battleships were the largest to have crossed the Canal in many years,” reported the London-based newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi on Saturday.

Egyptians report the armada includes a U.S. aircraft carrier.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Egyptian opposition members criticized the government for cooperating with the U.S. and Israeli forces and allowing the passage of the ships through Egyptian territorial waters. The Red Sea is the most direct route to the Persian Gulf from the Mediterranean.

Retired Egyptian General Amin Radi, chairman of the national security affairs committee, told the paper that “the decision to declare war on Iran is not easy, and Israel, due to its wild nature, may start a war just to remain the sole nuclear power in the region,” according to Yedioth Internet, an Israeli news site.

The passage of a warship armada through the Suez Canal and headed for the Persian Gulf and Iran is apparently not deemed important enough to be reported by the corporate media in the United States.

In late January, Senators were warned that Al Qaeda is determined to stage an attack on U.S. soil by July 2010. This information circled the media for some time, as they continually pumped images of Al Qaeda onto newscasts around the world. If this “threat” holds true than we only have 13 days left until a major attack.

If you remember after 9/11; reports came out that President Bush was informed that “Bin Laden was Determined To Strike in U.S.“

Bret Michaels Suffers 'Setback'

Bret Michaels Suffers 'Setback'
by Staff

Test results indicate a setback in Bret Michaels' condition, a message posted on the U.S. rocker's Facebook page said.

The musician is suffering a side effect from his brain hemorrhage called hyponatremia, which is described as a lack of sodium in the body that leads to seizures.

Michaels, 47, is best known as the front man for the band Poison. He is also a contestant on the current season of TV's "The Celebrity Apprentice."

He has been hospitalized in an intensive care unit since suffering the brain hemorrhage last Thursday. He reportedly was transported to the undisclosed medical facility after suffering a severe headache.

Michaels, who is diabetic, was also hospitalized earlier this month for an emergency appendectomy.

"Due to the severity of his condition, Bret Michaels continues to remain hospitalized in an intensive care unit at an undisclosed hospital. He remains in critical but stable condition according to his doctors," said the posting on Michaels' Facebook page Tuesday.

"Doctors state Michaels is very lucky as his condition could have been fatal," the message continued. "With further testing and rehabilitation, they are hopeful that Bret will gradually improve as the blood surrounding the brain dissolves and is reabsorbed into his system, which can be a very painful recovery and take several weeks to months. Michaels remains under 24-hour observation in the ICU and is in positive spirits. He is responding well to tests and treatments. Even though today was a minor setback, doctors remain hopeful for a full recovery and plan to release more specific information next Monday." (c) UPI

LOS ANGELES -- New medical tests show that rocker turned reality star Bret Michaels has suffered a setback in his recovery from a brain hemorrhage, according to a statement posted on his website Tuesday.

Still, doctors say they are hopeful Michaels, 47, will make a full recovery, according to the statement posted by road manager Janna Elias.

"Test results indicate a setback in Bret Michaels' condition, a side effect from the brain hemorrhage called hyponatremia, a lack of sodium in the body which leads to seizures," Elias said.

Michaels is responding well to tests and treatments, according to Elias.

"Even though today was a minor setback doctors remain hopeful for a full recovery and plan to release more specific information next Monday."

E! reported Tuesday that the former Poison front-man is being treated at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix.

Michaels' publicist had not revealed the city or hospital where he was being treated, citing privacy concerns.

Tuesday's statement was also the most detailed update on Michaels' condition released so far.

"Michaels' medical workup demonstrated findings of a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a type of stroke that causes bleeding in the fluid-filled spaces around the base of the brain," the statement said. "It presents itself suddenly as the sound of a loud gunshot or thunderclap at the back of the head causing severe cranial pain and muscle spasms."

Elias said Michaels has undergone many tests, including angiograms, CT scans, MRIs and transcranial dopplers (TCDs).

"With further testing and rehabilitation, they are hopeful that Bret will gradually improve as the blood surrounding the brain dissolves and is reabsorbed into his system, which can be a very painful recovery and take several weeks to months," the statement said.

There has been a lot of speculation as to what could have caused Michaels' brain bleed, and Elias addressed that in Tuesday's statement.

"Many people are speculating Michaels' head injury suffered from a prop striking the singer at the Tony awards last June is the cause," she said. "Additional studies are planned throughout the week to hopefully detect the exact cause of the rupture."

According to Michaels' reps, the singer was rushed to a Los Angeles area hospital after complaining of an excruciating headache the night of April 22nd.

The singer's latest health issue comes just days after he underwent an emergency appendectomy in San Antonio, Texas, on April 12.

After the surgery, Michaels transferred to a facility that specializes in post-surgical care of diabetic patients.

His diabetes is well publicized, and he has donated all money raised during his "Celebrity Apprentice" stint to the American Diabetes Association.

It is not yet known whether his brain hemorrhage is related to his diabetes, or to his recent surgery.

In a note to his fans, the rocker joked about being taken care of by "hot nurses" but also acknowledged the pain he was experiencing.

"I have a pretty good threshold for pain, but this one hurts."

The rocker is currently a contestant on Donald Trump's NBC competitive reality series, "The Celebrity Apprentice." He has also starred on VH1's "Rock of Love."

Donald Trump said in a statement Friday that he was "deeply saddened" to hear of Michaels' condition.

"He's a great competitor and champion, and I hope he will be fine," Trump said.

On "Celebrity Apprentice," Michaels has been concerned of late with his daughter's health.

She has been tested for diabetes after Michaels said recently "she is showing all the signs."

Little Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the little girl was up to, he politely asked, "What are you up to there, Nancy?"

"My goldfish died," replied Nancy tearfully, without looking up, "and I've just buried him."

The neighbor was concerned, "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"

(Story continues below)

Nancy patted down the last heap of earth and then replied, "That's because he's inside your stupid cat."

'The truth is, we're still struggling to understand what this means'

Some people are seeing a flying cross, or perhaps a Star of David.

Others say it resembles a ninja-style throwing blade or even a science-fiction spaceship from such Hollywood creations as "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Babylon 5" or "The Last Starfighter."

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed a mysterious, X-shaped debris pattern and trailing streamers of dust that may have been the result of a head-on collision between two asteroids. Click image for larger view.

While scientists don't think it's a comet, they're not exactly sure of the precise origin of the incredible object soaring some 90 million miles from Earth, snapped just a few weeks ago by the Hubble Space Telescope.

"I've seen thousands of astronomical images over my career, but this is one of the few absolute jaw-droppers: A flying X-pattern with trailing streamers," said Ray Villard, a contributing writer to Discovery News. "Whatever it is, nothing quite like it has ever before been seen in the heavens."

Yes, the Bible is completely true, but you may never have heard the incredible, ultimate destiny God has in store for you. It's far more glorious than just floating around on clouds in heaven! Find out what you've never been told, direct from your very own Bible!

Even the experts who study celestial phenomena seem somewhat perplexed.

"We're still trying to really figure out what it is," University of Arizona planetary scientist Jim Scotti told National Geographic. Scotti is on a team observing the object from the Kitt Peak National Observatory outside Tucson.

Some think the mysterious space object has a shape similar to that of a gunship depicted in the 1984 movie, "The Last Starfighter."

"The truth is, we're still struggling to understand what this means," comet expert David Jewitt at UCLA told Britain's Daily Mail. "It's most likely the result of a recent collision between two asteroids."

If it is indeed the result of such a collision, it would be the first time astronomers have gazed upon the immediate result of such a crash.

The official statement from America's space agency indicates:

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has observed a mysterious X-shaped debris pattern and trailing streamers of dust that suggest a head-on collision between two asteroids. Astronomers have long thought the asteroid belt is being ground down through collisions, but such a smashup has never been seen before.

Asteroid collisions are energetic, with an average impact speed of more than 11,000 miles per hour, or five times faster than a rifle bullet.

"If this interpretation is correct, two small and previously unknown asteroids recently collided, creating a shower of debris that is being swept back into a tail from the collision site by the pressure of sunlight," Jewitt said.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - Missing his smile and aura of invincibility, Tiger Woods finally showed his face to a waiting world Friday and apologized again for cheating on his wife, without revealing the scope of his infidelity or when he will return to golf.

Standing at a podium before a presidential-blue backdrop in a hushed room of his closest associates, Woods stumbled a few times as he read a 13½-minute statement. He offered no new details of what happened or what’s next, except that he was leaving Saturday for more therapy.

“I have made you question who I am and how I could have done the things I did,” Woods said.

Security: a Glimpse into Your Future
Got Hope? Messages from 1 Peter

February 20 & 21, 2010

Have you ever experienced buyer s remorse? After you buy something expensive, you second guess your choice and start to wonder if it s really worth it. Maybe you ve felt this way after buying a car. One way to handle your doubts is to read the owners manual. Reviewing the list of features gives you assurance that you made a good decision.

I think that some people who decide to follow Christ are tempted to slip into a similar syndrome to buyer s remorse when times get tough. The Bible teaches that there is a cost to discipleship. This is confirmed in real life. It is a costly commitment. All the troubles we experience can lead us to wonder if it is worth it. When these doubts surface, I open the owners manual: the Bible. We can review the benefits of our choice to follow Christ, renewing our confidence.

This weekend we begin a study of 1 Peter. This letter was addressed to people in need of comfort. They needed confirmation of their choice to follow Christ. They needed a reason to keep on. In the opening section, Peter helps believers grasp what is in store for Christians in the future. The resulting security can help us handle troubles in life.

Iran to deliver "telling blow" to world powers February 11, the anniversary of the Iranian Islamic Revolution. See the CNN story here. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/01/31/ira...

A US Navy armada sailed toward the Gulf yesterday to deal with this threat. It has Patriot missile defense capability.

US missile defense shield radar failed in a simulated Iranian attack today.

Iran test fires new satellite rocket. Wall Street Journal article here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274...

Iran is progressing quickly in its ballistic missile technology. A satellite rocket can be developed into an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

How long will it be before Iran's nuclear bombs are ready for these missiles?

I think they more intend to push the US or Israel into something or making trouble aka stirring up crap like they always have. They are developing but until they have something extreme they intend on trying to get others to make nasty first.

These are all good links and good info. This has been all over world media. Just not in the US. Gold shot up like a rocket over the news. So did oil, then came back to earth. Watch for both to go up again if tensions escalate.

Makes you wonder what on earth our state-controlled media is doing. I rarely watch Fox, but I don't think this story has been there, either. Mainly Wall Street Journal as far as US coverage.

The United States Navy is taking no chances. It is sending an armada in a hurry. Patriot batteries are going up all over the Gulf and Israel.

We are in a situation of entangling alliances, similar to those that precipitated WW1. Iran, Russia, North Korea, Pakistan and China against us, Israel, Australia and possibly India and the UK. If we touch Iran, we run the risk of touching off WW3. And remember, we have troops on either side of Iran (Iraq and Afghanistan) who could be sitting ducks in a nuclear situation.

The time between now and 02.11.10 will tell the tale.

Who knows? This guy is a madman. If he were sane, he would not telegraph his moves.

Not news worthy because they say this same crap every year. Iran is no threat to the USA. We should bring all troops home from the Mideast yesterday and put them on our own borders if we really gave a damn about stopping terrorism.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILAR,SHOULD WE LEARN FROM HISTORY THAT SOME SO-CALLED MADMEN ARE NOT MAD AT ALL???? THEY ARE EVIL AND DANGEROUS

"We, the GERMAN FUHRER and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister, have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo-German relations is of the first importance for two countries and for Europe.

"We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples NEVER TO GO TO WAR with one another again.

"We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to ASSURE THE PEACE OF EUROPE...

Chamberlain read this statement to a cheering crowd in front of 10 Downing St. and said;

"My good friends this is the second time in our history that there has come back from GERMANY to Downing Street peace with honor. I believe IT IS PEACE IN OUR TIME

hWE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s fascination with the return of Shiite Muslims’ messiah and what that means if Ahmadinejad is armed with nuclear weapons.

“Ahmadinejad belongs to the mainstream of Shi’a Islam, known as ‘Twelvers,’” an article posted at www.kairosjournal.org stated.“They recognize a historical succession of Imams, connected by family ties, commencing with Muhammad and concluding with the 12th Imam.”

The 12th Imam was born around 868 A.D. at a time of great persecution of Shiites, the journal explained, and in order to protect him, his father, the 11th Imam, sent him into hiding. He appeared in public briefly at the age of 6 when his father died but then went back into obscurity. Shiites believe he continues to guide Muslims, and they expect his “messianic” return to bring order from chaos and righteousness from unbelief, Kairos said.

“President Ahmadinejad seems to think that the time is ripe for the 12th Imam’s reappearance and that, as president, he should play a role in opening the way for his return,” the journal said.“He is reported to have said in one of his cabinet sessions,‘We have to turn Iran into a modern and divine country to be the model for all nations, and which will also serve as the basis for the return of the 12th Imam.’”

Like Bernard Lewis of Princeton, the Kairos authors said Ahmadinejad seems to believe “that the hand of God is guiding him to trigger a series of cataclysmic events which could precipitate the return of the 12th Imam. Only time will tell if this is his true conviction; but if he does hold such a view, his possession of nuclear weapons is a particularly scary prospect.”

Ahmadinejad praying for the return of the 12th imam
genersl assembly UNITED NATIONS

"As the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, I assure you that my country will use everything in its power to contribute to global tranquility and peace based on the two maxims of spirituality and justice as well as the equal rights of all peoples and nations.

My country will interact and cooperate constructively with the international community to face the challenges before us.

"Dear Friends and Colleagues,
"From the beginning of time, humanity has longed for the day when justice, peace, equality and compassion envelop the world. All of us can contribute to the establishment of such a world. When that day comes, the ultimate promise of all Divine religions will be fulfilled with the emergence of a perfect human being who is heir to all prophets and pious men. He will lead the world to justice and absolute peace.

"O mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the promised one, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace.
END

The most dangerous leaders in modern history are those (such as Hitler) equipped with a totalitarian ideology and a mystical belief in their own mission. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fulfills both these criteria, as revealed by his U.N. comments. That combined with his expected nuclear arsenal make him an adversary who must be stopped, and urgently.

Of course his poll numbers are down, he has done literally nothing to help improve the economic environment in America.

At the very least it would be helpful if he could stop hindering it/leading it down the wrong road.

How could you possibly have had high expectations of this man???? Are you nuts??? He's never done anything, ever. Any small businessman/woman with payroll experience would have been a better choice and more helpful. Maybe now voters will demand more experience and access to a candidate's background, education, etc. before they blindly hand over our freedoms.

If I show you an internet copy of my birth certificate do you think the U.S. government is going to accept that? That's what I thought...

This nation's own stupidity is killing us.

I feel no sympathy for those who now have buyer's remorse. If they had been paying attention in 2008, they never would have voted for Obama in the first place. Now, we're all stuck with him because of their irresponsibility.
Roxanna | February 8, 2010 1:09 PM

The most refresshing part of the article is that 44% say they will not vote for incumbents. I'm not sure on what planet the 42% live on who said they would back current members of congress, but I hope they get lost on the way to the polls! Re-Elect NO ONE! They are all drunk with power and greed, both sides! Wake up!

Obama Hits Lowest Approval Mark
February 8, 2010 12:58 PM | Permalink | Comments (783) |

Independent voters see Pres. Obama in a negative light by a nearly 2-1 margin, according to a new Marist College survey, while almost half of voters say he has failed to meet their expectations.

The poll, conducted Feb. 1-3, showed just 44% of registered voters approving of Obama's job as president. 47% disapprove. But among indie voters, Obama's approval rating sits at a terrible 29%, while his disapproval rating is at 57%.

Obama's 44% job approval rating is the lowest he has scored in any non-internet poll since moving into the WH, according to a review of data compiled by Pollster.com.

And while GOPers strive to avoid attacking Obama personally, for fear of offending voters who see him in a favorable light personally, even that aura of invincibility is wearing off. Independent voters view Obama negatively, too, by a 39% favorable to 52% unfavorable margin. All registered voters still see Obama favorably by a 50%-44% margin, but that's down 5 points in just 2 months.

Voters are disappointed in what they got with Obama's first year. The poll shows 47% believe Obama has failed to meet their expectations -- including a quarter of Dems, 65% of GOPers and 53% of indie voters -- while just 42% say he has met their expectations. 38% say Obama's policies are moving the country in the wrong direction, while 37% say they're making the country better.

Meanwhile, members of Congress should brace for a difficult election year. 42% of registered voters said they would back their current member of Congress, while 44% said they would support someone else -- a drop of 9 points in support of the incumbent in just 2 months.

The Marist College poll surveyed 910 registered voters for a margin of error of +/- 3.2%.

He Messed With the Wrong Flight Attendant
Lorin Gorman is a fourth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do

A San Francisco man, accused of forcing a flight to divert because he was high on medical marijuana, picked the wrong flight attendant to freak out on.

Lorin Gorman of Chula Vista is a fourth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Those skills may have averted a serious situation in the air.

US-Air flight 1447 was on its way from Philadelphia to San Francisco.

Gorman, 51, says she noticed Kinman Chan, 30, early in the flight. "He was looking back at me, waving hi," Gorman said of the man in seat 17-C.

But soon enough, the passenger became aggressive, Gorman says. "He's banging around, screaming in the back bathroom, he's opened all the compartments," the attendant remembers.

According to a criminal complaint, Chan walked out of the bathroom with his pants down.

"I said, ‘You need to sit down now’,” Gorman said.

He did not. "He went like that with his elbow," Gorman said, bracing her wrist as she threw an elbow at shoulder height. "Well, what I did, I just put him in an arm lock. To get his other arm, I had to jump up on the seat … He was resisting. He was stiff. At that point, I just put him into a choke hold."

The plane was diverted to Pittsburgh where Chan was arrested. He told police he'd taken a double dose of his medicinal marijuana, eating two pot cookies before the flight.

"After 911, I took special training with my grand master to learn how to deal with small spaces and also what to look for in passengers," Gorman said. "I'm glad I was there."

Kinman Chan was charged with disrupting a flight attendant, which can carry a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Bolton: Even Severe Sanctions Wont Dissuade Iran From Pursuing Nuclear Weapons

Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a "punch" that will stun world powers during this week's 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.

"The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned," Khamenei, who is also Iran's commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel.

The country's top cleric was marking the occasion when Iran's air force gave its support to revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a key event which led to the toppling of the US-backed shah on February 11, 1979.

His comments came as Iran said it would begin to produce higher enriched uranium from Tuesday, in defiance of Western powers trying to ensure the country's nuclear drive is peaceful.

This year's anniversary is expected to become a flashpoint between security forces and supporters of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, who charge that the June re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was rigged.

Opposition supporters are expected to stage anti-government protests on Thursday when the traditional regime-sponsored marches to mark the revolution take place across the country.

Mousavi renewed his call for demonstrations on the February 11 anniversary.

Just over a week ago, he and Karroubi had implicitly called for a gathering of their supporters.

"The 22nd of Bahman is upon us, truly it should be called the day of gathering," Mousavi said on his Kaleme.org website Monday.

"I feel we have to participate while maintaining the collective spirit as well as our identity and leave an impression," Mousavi said.

"Anger and bitterness should not take our control away.

"The clerics should know that since imprisonment, beatings, and other confrontational methods are done in the name of Islam and the Islamic regime, it is hurting Islam and we all should try to stop," he added.

Anti-government protests were first triggered after the June 12 presidential election won by Ahmadinejad.

Over the past eight months, several thousand people were arrested. Some were released and others were given hefty prison terms, among them politicians, journalists and human rights activists.

Two protesters were tried, convicted and hanged in the aftermath of the election.

Khamenei told the air force personnel the "most important aim of the sedition after the election was to create a rift within the Iranian nation, but it was unable to do so and our nation's unity remained a thorn in its eyes."

Tiger Woods for the lack of diversity among his mistresses.

2010-02-08T04:13:00.001-08:00

The Rev. Al Sharpton held a press conference today to blast Tiger Woods for the lack of diversity among his mistresses. Sharpton claims that the lack of African-American women among Woods’ harem will have a negative effect on the black community, specifically young black girls.

“Why is it that a man who calls himself black can’t bring himself to cheat on his wife with a black woman?” said Sharpton, speaking to a group of supporters in Harlem. “What does it say to young black girls everywhere when you pass them over? Shame on you, Tiger Woods. What would your daddy say?”

Sharpton, who has long championed taking black women as mistresses, said that today’s black athletes need to stop neglecting black women when it comes to extramarital affairs, and should follow the examples of positive black role models such as Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King, Jr., both of whom cheated on their wives with black women. Sharpton also stressed that cheating with African-American women would help the black community financially by giving black girls the chance to sell their stories to tabloids and gossip magazines.

Added Sharpton, “I’m not asking you to not cheat on your wives, I’m just asking you to give back to your own community.”

US raises stakes on Iran by sending in ships and missilesPentagon says Patriot shield will deter strike on American allies in the Gulf

Tension between the US and Iran heightened dramatically today with the disclosure that Barack Obama is deploying a missile shield to protect American allies in the Gulf from attack by Tehran.

The US is dispatching Patriot defensive missiles to four countries – Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait – and keeping two ships in the Gulf capable of shooting down Iranian missiles. Washington is also helping Saudi Arabia develop a force to protect its oil installations.

American officials said the move is aimed at deterring an attack by Iran and reassuring Gulf states fearful that Tehran might react to sanctions by striking at US allies in the region. Washington is also seeking to discourage Israel from a strike against Iran by demonstrating that the US is prepared to contain any threat.

Chris McGreal: 'The US is prepared to move decisively against any threat from Iran' Link to this audio The deployment comes after Obama's attempts to emphasise diplomacy over confrontation in dealing with Iran – a contrast to the Bush administration's approach – have failed to persuade Tehran to open its nuclear installations to international controls. The White House is now trying to engineer agreement for sanctions focused on Iran's Revolutionary Guard, believed to be in charge of the atomic programme.

Washington has not formally announced the deployment of the Patriots and other anti-missile systems, but by leaking it to American newspapers the administration is evidently seeking to alert Tehran to a hardening of its position.

Amir Vahedi dies at 48.

Amir Vahedi dies at 48Comment Email Print Share By Gary Wise

The poker world lost a fan favorite on January 8 when Amir Vahedi passed away due to diabetes-related complications at 48 years of age, but the smiling, cigar-chomping Vahedi's visage will persist.

[+] EnlargeEthan Miller/Getty Images

Amir Vahedi passed away at age 48.

Vahedi was best known in poker circles for two things. One was mentoring Ben Affleck as the actor started out in poker, but for legacy purposes, I'm far more inclined to focus on his sixth place in the 2003 World Series of Poker main event final table, likely the single more important on-the-felt snapshot in poker's history.

Vahedi entered the final table with the second biggest stack and the momentum of having won a bracelet two weeks earlier. With amateur Chris Moneymaker being the only player with more chips going in, Vahedi was heralded by many as the favorite. In the end, though, the pressure of the moment got to him and he was oustered after a series of questionable plays.

"He was running good," remembered 2003 WSOP tournament director Matt Savage. "He was playing good too. We all thought he had a real good shot at it, but he admitted to me later that he just got nervous. He'd tell me 'I was supposed to be Moneymaker!' Know what? I think he'd have been a good champion for poker too."

Over the last few years, Vahedi fell on hard poker times, but he never lost the smile or the spirit that made him one of the most liked players in the community.

"He was jovial," said Sam Simon, the developer of the Simpsons and a wealthy enough man to afford solo lodgings come WSOP time, who chose instead to room with Vahedi. "He was fun … the best guy to have at your table. He loved playing poker. I'm going to miss him. Such a nice man, a soft hearted guy. He had some demons. He'd stepped back from poker and started turning his life around."

Vahedi's is the first passing from that historic 2003 roster, but thanks to the miracle of television and the Internet, the image of Vahedi on top, wearing that goateed grin with a fat cigar clamped between his jaws will live on in memory. It seems the most appropriate recollection.

No immediate reports of injuries after earthquake off Cayman Islands
"There was quite a bit of shaking," says shop manager in George Town, Cayman Islands

(CNN) -- A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck Tuesday off the Cayman Islands, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The 6.2-mile deep quake hit at 9:23 a.m. ET, 40 miles from George Town, Cayman Islands, the USGS reported. George Town, the capital, is on the western shore of Grand Cayman Island.
There were no immediate reports of injuries in the three-island chain in the Caribbean.
The British territory of the Cayman Islands is about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which was devastated last week by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake.
Tuesday's quake struck about 32 miles (52 kilometers) east-southeast of Bodden Town in the center of the southern coast of Grand Cayman Island.

It caused shaking at the Pedro St. James National Historic Site, about a 10-minute drive from Bodden Town, said Sonya Hydes, the gift shop manager.
"There was quite a bit of shaking," she said.
Hydes said she called her husband after the shaking stopped to see if their house was affected. He told her that he felt the quake but that it did not damage their house.
There are reports that the quake toppled power lines in Bodden Town, said Kafara Augustine, a news producer for Cayman 27.
Augustine said she felt the shaking from within her office in central George Town. She and her colleagues quickly evacuated the building, seeking safety in the streets, she said. The two-story building did not suffer any damage and from what she could see, everything else seemed unharmed during the quake, she said.
The quake startled Davy Ebanks, general manager of the North Sound Club, a golf course on the Seven Mile Beach strip of western Grand Cayman Island. He said he was reading about the earthquake in Haiti on the Internet when he suddenly felt shaking.
"I just bolted," he said. "It was rocking and rolling pretty good."
The trembling knocked some picture frames off balance and sent some mannequins tumbling in the pro shop, but otherwise did little damage at the club, he said.
About 215 miles (346 kilometers) from the temblor in Cienfuegos, Cuba -- a city on the southern coast of the communist island -- residents said they felt nothing.

The Caymans are about 167 (268 kilometers) miles northwest of Jamaica and about 140 miles (240 kilometers) south of Cuba, according to the CIA World Fact Book.

way!

I think
owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes
you a smart American.

I think
being a minority does not make you noble or
victimized,
And does not entitle you to
anything. Get over
it!

I
believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do
it in English.

I believe
everyone has a right to pray to his or her God
when and where they want to.

My
heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers,
and Willie G. Davidson that makes the Awesome
Harley Davidson
Motorcycles.

I don't
hate the rich. I don't pity the
poor.

I know
wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time
watching or arguing about it.

I've
never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't
burned any witches or been persecuted by the
Turks and neither have you!

So,

I
believe if you don't like the way things are
here, go back to where you came from and change
your own country!

This is
AMERICA ...We like it the way it
is!

If you
were born here and don't like it you are free to
move to any Socialist country that will have
you.

I want
to know which church is it exactly where the
Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets
his money, and why he is always part of the
problem and not the
solution.

Can I
get an AMEN on that one?

I also
think the cops have the right to pull you over
if you're breaking the law, regardless of what
color you are.

And,
no, I don't mind having my face shown on my
drivers license.

I think it's good....
And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my
money.

I think
if you are too stupid to know how a ballot
works, I don't want you deciding who should be
running the most powerful nation in the world
for the next four years.

I
dislike those people standing in the
intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying

Seeing the Unseen

2010-01-16T23:01:00.001-08:00

Seeing the Unseen

            Listen to this majestic picture of God in Job 26:14. "These are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?" And 1 Peter 1:8. "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy."

            I bless your softness in the hands of your Father when you don't understand what he's doing. I bless your surrendered heart to look for him when he's not doing what you wanted or expected. Every season has its beauty and is preparation for the next season. In this time of the hiding of his power, take faithful steps of faith and obedience, faith and obedience. Beyond obedience, even when you don't see him, be blessed to love him with joy. Although you don't see him now, be blessed to believe in him and be filled with glorious inexpressible joy... his joy.

            Be blessed with eyes to see the fingerprints of his ways in your ordinary days, knowing that he says, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isa. 55:8-9).

            When you know you don't understand and when you think you do, the earth keeps shouting to you that he is completely faithful. He is as faithful as the rain and snow that water the earth and make it bud and flourish and yield seed for the sower and bread for the eater. That's the law of the harvest. He promises that his word to you is like that. "It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it" (Isa. 55:10-11).

            As you see seedtime and harvest in the natural realm yield its return every year, come into his courts with praise that you will reap a spiritual harvest as you sow in faith and joy. Worship leads you to rest and trust in his faithfulness, his sovereignty, and his love. Be blessed to see that God is there, increasing your knowledge and experience of himself. Know this: with each place he takes you in those sometimes not-your-first-choice circumstances, he draws you deeper into himself.

            Even when you see only the edges of his ways, hear only his small whispers, and cannot understand him, he is the best. Even when he seems to have withdrawn from you, he promises that "you will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands" (Isa. 55:12). Remember that in the spring time when the trees are in blossom and in the autumn time when the leaves are turning brilliant colors. You can celebrate him in the growth points of your journey, even in his faintest whispers. Remember Elijah. God was not in the violent wind, or the fire, or the earthquake, but in the gentle blowing of the still small voice. Be blessed to line up with his still small voice practically and in prayer. Be blessed with an "upgrade" of your image of God, because what you think about him, who he is to you, is the single most important element in trusting him and bearing fruit in every good work (Col. 1:9-13).

Be blessed in the name of the King of the kingdom
he promised to those who love him (Jam. 2:5).

Keeper...

2010-01-16T22:51:00.001-08:00

Keeper

Their
marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a
wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and
Mom in a house dress; lawn mower in his hand, and dish-towel in hers. It
was the time for fixing things.. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen
door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we
keep.

It was a way of
life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, eating, renewing, I
wanted just once to be wasteful.. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away
meant you knew there'd always be more.

But then my
mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital
room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any
more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes
away....never to return. So... While we have it.... Its best we love it... And
care for it..... And fix it when it's broken...... And heal it when it's
sick.

This is true...
For marriage.... And old cars.... And children with bad report cards......
Dogs and cats with bad hips.... And aging parents..... And grandparents, aunts
and uncles and friends.. We keep them because they are worth it, because we
are worth it.

Some things we
keep. Like a best friend who moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There
are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are
special.... And so, we keep them close in heart and mind and
spirit.

I received this
from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper', so I've sent it to the people I think
of in the same way....

Now it's your
turn to send this to those people who are 'keepers' in your life.. Send it
back to the person that sent it to you if they too are a
keeper.

Good
friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are
always there..

The Duck Hunter...

2010-01-16T21:07:00.001-08:00

Subject: The Duck Hunter

A
duck hunter was out enjoying a nice morning on the marsh when he decided to take
a leak. He walked over to a tree and propped up his gun. Just then a gust of
wind blew, the gun fell over, and discharged shooting him in the genitals.

Several hours later, lying in a hospital bed, he was
approached by his doctor, who said, "Well sir, I have some good news and some
bad news. The good news is that you are going to be OK. The damage was local to
your groin, there was very little internal damage and we were able to remove all
of the buckshot."

"What's the bad news?" asked the hunter.

"The
bad news is that there was some pretty extensive buckshot damage done to your
penis. I'm going to have to refer you to my sister."

"Well
I guess that isn't too bad," the hunter replied. "Is your sister a plastic
surgeon?"

"Not
exactly," answered the doctor. "She's a flute player in the Chicago Symphony.
She's going to teach you where to put your fingers so you don't piss in your
eye."

The Moped....

2010-01-16T21:05:00.000-08:00

The
Moped

An elderly man on a
Moped,
looking
about 100 years old,
pulls
up next to a doctor at a street
light.

The old man looks over at the
sleek shiny car
and
asks,
"What
kind of car ya got there, sonny ?"

The
doctor replies, "A Ferrari
GTO.
It
cost half a million dollars!"

"That's a
lot of money," says the old
man.
"Why
does it cost so much?"

"Because this car
can do up to 320 miles an hour !" states the
doctor proudly.

The Moped driver
asks,
"Mind
if I take a look inside ?"

"No problem,"
replies the doctor.

So the old man pokes
his head in the window
and
looks around. Then, sitting back on his Moped,
the old man says,
"That's
a pretty nice car, all right... but I'll stick
with my

Moped
!"

Just then the light changes, so the
doctor decides to show the old man just what his
car can do. He floors it, and within 30
seconds
the
speedometer reads 160 mph.

Suddenly, he
notices a dot in his rear view
mirror.
It
seems to be getting closer !

He slows
down to see what it could
be
and
suddenly
WHOOOOSSSHHH
!

Something whips by him going much
faster !

"What on earth could be going
faster than my Ferrari ?" the doctor asks
himself.

He presses harder on the
accelerator
and
takes the
Ferrari
up to 250 mph.

Then, up ahead of
him,
he
sees that it's the old man on the
Moped!

Amazed that the Moped could pass
his Ferrari,
he
gives it more gas
and
passes the Moped at 275 mph. He was feeling
pretty good until he looked in his mirror and
saw the old man gaining on him AGAIN
!

Astounded by the speed of this old
guy,
he
floors the gas pedal and takes the
Ferrari
all the way up to 320 mph.

Not
ten seconds later, he sees the
Moped
bearing
down on him again!
The
Ferrari is flat out,
and
there's nothing he can do!

Suddenly, the
Moped plows
into
the back of his
Ferrari,
demolishing
the rear end.

The doctor stops and jumps
out and unbelievably
the
old man
is still alive.

He runs up to the
banged-up old guy and
says,
"I'm
a doctor.... Is there anything I can do for you
?"

The old man
whispers,

"Unhook
my suspenders from your side view mirror
."

Subject: WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out !

WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out !

This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii

For his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes

All over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body,

He has never spoken out before about a government official, until now.

He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of.

You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:

" We're no longer a Christian nation"

" America is arrogant" - (Your wife even

Announced to the world,"America is mean-

Spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching

That nonsense to 23 generations of our

War dead buried all over the globe who

Died for no other reason than to free a

Whole lot of strangers from tyranny and

Hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.

You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.

And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,

Harold B. Estes

Jack H: I apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Jack H: Just to confirm, you are receiving lots of non-deliverable email messages from the senders to whom you have not send out any of the email messages. Is that correct?

wdwrocks@earthlink.net: EVERYDAY

Jack H: Thank you for the confirmation.

Jack H: A common technique used by unscrupulous spammers is to use a stolen email address in the from header of their message. Or a made-up one that happens to match yours.

wdwrocks@earthlink.net: why don't you people care anymore??

Jack H: So your address might go out to thousands of mailboxes as a spam sender. Many of these messages will bounce since spammers use email lists that are often computer generated and guess at what are likely real addresses to send to. It's common for spammers to guess potentially valid addresses by taking a common username and adding valid domains to it.

wdwrocks@earthlink.net: WHY???

Jack H: For example, chances are there will be a “bob@ “at just about any provider's domain.

Jack H: However, you can also report the same to our Fraud department so that your this issue will be taken care of immediately. The reason why I am asking you to fill out the below mentioned form is because the Fraud Department is our specialized department which takes cares of such issues.

Happy New Year......

2010-01-15T22:43:00.000-08:00

As
2009 quickly comes to an end

We all pray and hope
for a good 2010

We've all had our
share of sorrows and ills

And doctors, and
shots and tons of pills

May the Good Lord be
with us

In this brand new
year

And fill our hearts,
with love and good cheer.

May our country
stand tall

And our flag wave
proudly

May we all praise
God, outright and so loudly

God Bless us and
keep us

As this year nears
its end

May we all be
blessed in 2010.

Happy New Year
everyone!

DID NOT KNOW THIS!!!...

2010-01-15T22:37:00.001-08:00

TRULY DID
NOT KNOW THIS!!!...

Las Vegas Churches
accept gambling chips

THIS MAY COME
AS A SURPRISE TO THOSE OF YOU NOT LIVING IN
LAS
VEGAS , BUT THERE ARE MORE CATHOLIC CHURCHES THAN
CASINOS.

NOT
SURPRISINGLY, SOME WORSHIPERS AT SUNDAY SERVICES WILL GIVE
CASINO CHIPS RATHER THAN CASH WHEN THE BASKET IS
PASSED.
SINCE THEY GET
CHIPS FROM MANY DIFFERENT CASINOS, THE CHURCHES HAVE
DEVISED A METHOD TO COLLECT THE OFFERINGS..

THE
CHURCHES SEND ALL THEIR COLLECTED CHIPS TO A NEARBY
FRANCISCAN MONASTERY FOR SORTING AND THEN THE CHIPS
ARE TAKEN TO THE CASINOS OF ORIGIN AND CASHED
IN.

THIS IS DONE
BY THE CHIP MONKS.

Funeral Story.....

2010-01-15T22:34:00.001-08:00

Funeral Story

A famous heart specialist doctor died and everyone was
gathered at his funeral. A regular coffin was displayed in front of a huge
heart.

When the minister finished with the sermon and after everyone
said their good-byes, the heart was opened, the coffin rolled inside, and the
heart closed.

Just at that moment one of the mourners started
laughing.
The guy next to him asked: "Why are you laughing?"

"I was
thinking about my own funeral" the man replied.
"What's so funny about
that?"

"I'm a
gynecologist."

Staying Young......

2010-01-15T22:32:00.000-08:00

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them.
That is why you pay 'them’ for.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who cares? But do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

Worry about nothing, pray about everything!!!

EARTHQUAKE SAFETY....

2010-01-15T22:27:00.000-08:00

TEN TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY:

1) Most everyone who simply 'ducks and covers' WHEN BUILDINGS

COLLAPSE is crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks
or cars, are crushed.

2) Cats, dogs & babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position.
You

Should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct.
You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa,
next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void
next to it.

3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during
an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake.
If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created.
Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick
buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries
but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.

4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply
roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve
a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply by posting a sign on
the back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the
floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake

5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out
of the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position
next to a sofa, or large chair.

6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed.
How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or backward
you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam falls sideways
you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will be killed!

7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different 'moment of

Frequency (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The
stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other
until structural failure of the stairs takes place. The people who
get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads- horribly
mutilated. Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the stairs.
The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if the
stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when
overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety,
even when the rest of the building is not damaged.

8) Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible.
It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the
interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the
building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.

9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls
in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened
with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims
of theïSan Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They
were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting
or lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have survived if
they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them.
All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the
cars that had columns fall directly across them.

10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices
and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does not compact. Large
voids are found surrounding stacks of paper.

1.... You refine heroin for a living, but
you have a moral objection to liquor.

2.... You own a $3,000

3.... You have more wives than teeth.

4.... You

bullet-proof and suicide.

6.... You can't think of anyone you

7.... You consider television

You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting
off roadside bombs.

Whispers...

2010-01-15T22:15:00.000-08:00

Whispers

The man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadowlark sang.

But, the man did not hear.

So the man yelled, "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky.

But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, "God let me see you." And a star shined brightly.

But the man did not see.

And, the man shouted, "God show me a miracle." And, a life was born.

But, the man did not notice.

So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here."
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man. But, the man brushed the butterfly away .

and walked on.

I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted ... even in our electronic age.
So I would like to add one more:
The man cried, "God, I need your help!" And an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement.

But, the man deleted it and continued crying .

Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.

My instructions were to send this to people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. Won't you please pass this to people you want to be blessed.

Have A Happy Day!

Power of a Badge....

2010-01-15T22:02:00.000-08:00

The
Power of a Badge.....

DEA officer
stops at a ranch in Texas , and talks with an old
rancher. He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your
ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher says,
"Okay , but do not go in that field over there," as he
points out the location.

The DEA officer
verbally explodes saying, " Mister, I have the
authority of the Federal Government with me."
Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes
his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher.
"See this badge? This badge means I am
allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land.
No questions asked or answers given. Have
I made myself clear? Do you understand?
"

The rancher nods
politely, apologizes, and goes about his
chores.

A short time
later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the
DEA officer running for his life chased by the
rancher's big Santa Gertrudis
bull......

With
every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer,
and it seems likely that he'll get gored before
he reaches safety. The officer is clearly
terrified. The rancher throws down his tools, runs to
the fence and yells at the top of his
lungs.....

"
Your badge. Show him your BADGE !
"

Psalm 1

2010-01-09T23:47:00.000-08:00

Psalm 1

BOOK I : Psalms 1-41

¹ Blessed is the man
       who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
       or stand in the way of sinners
       or sit in the seat of mockers. ² But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
       and on his law he meditates day and night.
³ He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
       which yields its fruit in season
       and whose leaf does not wither.
       Whatever he does prospers.
⁴ Not so the wicked!
       They are like chaff
       that the wind blows away.
⁵ Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
       nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
⁶ For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
       but the way of the wicked will perish.

Tips to Stay Motivated with a Walking Plan

2010-01-09T23:28:00.000-08:00

Tips to Stay Motivated with a Walking Plan

	Ask other people to walk with you. Find a partner or a group. When you know someone else is waiting for you, it keeps you going
	Wear comfortable shoes and good socks to help cushion your feet
	Wear clothes that are right for the season. Try using layers of clothing in the cold weather to keep you warm, and cotton clothes in the summer to keep you cool
	Drink plenty of water. It doesn't have to be that fancy bottled stuff — get your own container and keep it filled with plenty of regular water. Carry it with you if you can
	Don't forget to stretch before you walk. Try to start off slowly
	Be safe — pay attention to your surroundings
	Walk in a safe place that has plenty of lights in the evening. Try walking around a local school's parking lot, or going to the mall
	Try to walk at least three times a week. It may seem like a lot at first, but you will gradually build up
	Try to think of your walk in three parts. Imagine a warm-up period at the beginning, challenge yourself with a brisk pace in the middle, and finally picture a cool-down. You can feel success when you finish each part
