Tribes Buying Land..........

 

A photo shows statues depicting the various clans within the Winnebago tribe, overlooking a housing development north of Winnebago, Neb., which was built on land purchased by the tribe. Native American tribes tired of waiting for the U.S. government to honor centuries-old treaties are buying back land where their ancestors lived and putting it in federal trust.

It's good to see this happening........... the American Indians, have long been pushed aside, and left to themselves.......

Whatever...........

Remember Our Soldiers.............

Specialist Edmond Carpio from Ft. Hamilton Army National Guard is helping load holiday gifts for U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan at the DHL facility at JFK Airport. For the sixth straight year, DHL Express has teamed up with the New York community to donate and deliver hundreds of freshly cut Christmas trees, menorahs, decorations and messages of support to U.S. troops in the Middle East through DHL's annual Trees for Troops charitable program.

Let It Snow.........

People walk through the snow-covered National Mall in Washington, DC. Americans pining for a white Christmas got more than they bargained for, as a record-breaking snowstorm closed airports and roadways across the northeastern United States, putting a damper on the holiday's biggest shopping weekend. 
I wonder if they put up the Senator's that were voting on the Health Care Bill?  If so, that means that America spent some more money for useless crap.

Looking For Reliable Web Hosting?

I've been in the position of deciding which domain, or web hosting website to use, for my blogs. It was all so new to me back two years ago, that a seasoned veteran, had to get me started and help me. I feel that I could have gotten a cheaper web hosting site, but at the time I was such a greenhorn, that the "words" involved with this subject scared the life right out of me. 
Looking through all the different listings, I find many that have the qualities, that my server has, at a cheaper price. I'm investigating the possibility a change over and wonder how much effort it would take to do so? I'm sure I could be able to do this, if I make sure I read all the fine lines and small print.
I had one person recommend a web hosting guide   to look for a good company.  She recommended a certain company because it's very cheap and reliable.  She told me the company offers site building tools, application vault, web mail, antivirus, Php, MysQL ,e-commerce and hosts unlimited websites in one plan.
One thing's for sure you don't want to go for one of those "free" website hosting  places, because they are not reliable.   That sounds like good advice because I don't need any problems with my blogs and the way I have to communicate to the internet world.  I can say, that blogging has become a daily ritual and I'm sure that I would be totally lost if my computer was to crash.  n order to be able to tell exactly the amenities are.  The person, who tried to train me in this field, had that happen to her, and she was a mess for several days, running back and forth to the library.
I am sure that reading some reviews at one website, I will be able to find one that I can intergrate into  my way of socializing in the internet world.

 

Another Step For Senate

It looks as though the Senate may be able to get passage before Christmas of the historic legislation to remake the nation's medical system and cover 30 million uninsured.  It was 1am when the Senate voted on the bill and the Independents along with the Democrats were able to make it happen. Despite the late hour and a harshly partisan atmosphere, Democrats' spirits were high.   This action makes it closer to passing legislation extending health coverage to nearly all Americans.  By doing this it will make health insurance mandatory for the first time for nearly everyone.  I suppose we will have to take it whether we want it or not.  I don't relish being told how to handle my healthcare coverage.  I don't think it's right to tell the American people that we don't have our rights to choose.

Health Care.......

Our government has been so busy with this Health Care Bill they are trying to pass.  The Democrats and Republicans are fighting back and forth about different issues.  It's going to take some time for them to unravel the intricate details, and move forward with a lucrative health care plan, that will be suitable for all involved.  The American people are worried about how this will affect them, and how they are going to be able to afford certain aspects of the plan.  I don't understand much of it and believe there will still be too much fine print to sort out.
Medicare, seems to be a major topic along with the abortion guidelines.  I wonder how they will fit any Health Mental Health stipulations into this thing?  One Senator has gone to the extreme of pushing a protest by strowing a long row of paper up the steps of the Senate Building.  I assume this means we are looking at a huge set of guidelines that determine what will become of our personal healthcare. 
I'm one who is very healthy and don't need anything to use.  Who needs all this stuff, if you never go to the doctor?  I would go, if I felt I was too sick to handle whatever it was at home, with over the counter products and good common sense.  I believe it's my choice how my health is taken care of, and not the governments.

My Orchid........

Recently I moved from my home into an apartment.  I took as many of my plants with me as I could and found different areas to place them.  It was in full bloom and now 2 months later the blooms are gone, leaving a long stalk guant and barron.  I almost killed it by putting it on the mantle where there was too much heat.  Then I tried to water it, and that only seemed to make the poor thing even sicker.  Several leaves turned yellow and I had to remove them.  I finally took it out of it container and separated the roots so they could dry out some.  I hope to salvage it, because I have kept it alive over 2 years, without killing it.

Thank A Soldier.........

Winterize......

 The weather has turned cold and we are needing to get our heating units inspected.  Recently, I noticed that we weren't having our home being cooled as well as last year.  Looks like it time for us to get a service man out to check on things and make sure that we don't need a air conditioning compressor  to be replaced.  Sometimes they go out and boy it's a mess.  I've watched my ex husband, repair our air conditioning and it's a very huge under taking.  It is a good thing that he is a air conditioning serviceman, and knows exactly what to do.  I wouldn't want to get someone to work on our unit, who didn't know their job.  Too many things can go wrong, at a high price for ignorance. 
The winter, is a time to make sure your units are up and running properly.  I know how cold it gets here in Texas and I wouldn't want to go one day, without heat.  We had a thermal couple go out on our unit, last year and we had to get busy before the fall months came.  It's not a very big part, but can cause a large problem. 
I don't think I would have been strong enough to survive the horse and buggy days.  They had to have a good fireplace, maybe coal oil lamps and cooking stoves.  I remember the cast iron stove, that my grandma had, and it would stink up the house with the fumes, from the coal that was burning.

Protect Our Elderly.......

Here in the DFW area, it’s getting to the point that elderly people can’t go to the grocery store and come home to put up their groceries. Criminals are following them home and when they pull up into their driveways or garages, these idiots attack them as they are trying to get out of their cars. They also ring their door bells, and when the door is answered, shove their way inside and attack the people. The elderly are having a bad enough time surviving in today’s world and then you have the uncaring criminals taking from them because they are too feeble to fight back. There’s nothing left that’s sacred anymore. These are people, who need to be protected, just like the children. I’m worried what will become of us all, with the way the economy is getting.

An Indianapolis doctor's letter to Sen. Bayh about the Bill
(Note:  Dr. Stephen E. Frazer, MD practices as an anesthesiologist in   Indianapolis  ,   IN  )
Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh. Feel free to copy it and send it around to all other representatives. -- Stephen Fraser
 
July 23, 2009
 
Senator Bayh,
 
As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.
 
I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.

Page 22 of the HC Bill:  Mandates that the Govt will audit books of all employers that self-insure!!

Page 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill: Doctors: It doesn't matter what specialty you have trained yourself in -- you will all be paid the same! (Just TRY to tell me that's not Socialism!)

Page 354 Sec 1177: The Govt will RESTRICT enrollment of 'special needs people!'   Unbelievable!
 
Page 379 Sec 1191: The Govt creates more bureaucracy via a "Tele-Health Advisory Committee."  (Can you say HC by phone?)
  
Page 425 Lines 4-12: The Govt mandates "Advance-Care Planning Consult."  (Think senior citizens end-of-life patients...)
  
Page 425 Lines 17-19:The Govt will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc.  (And it's mandatory!)

Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt provides an "approved" list of end-of-life resources; & nbsp;guiding you in death. (Also called 'assisted suicide.')
  
Page 427 Lines 15-24: The Govt mandates a program for orders on "end-of-life." (The Govt has a say in how your life ends!)

Page 429 Lines 10-12: An "advanced care consultation" may include an ORDER for end-of-life plans.  (AN ORDER TO DIE FROM THE GOVERNMENT?!?)

Page 429 Lines 13-25:The GOVT will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.  (I wouldn't want to stand before God after getting paid for THAT job!) 

Page 430 Lines 11-15: The Govt will decide what level of treatment you will have at end-of-life!(Again -- no choice!)
  
Page 469: Community-Based Home Medical Services = Non-Profit Organizations.  (Hello?  ACORN Medical Services here!?!)
  
Page 489 Sec 1308: The Govt will cover marriage and family therapy.  (Which means Govt will insert itself into your marriage even.)

Page 494-498: Govt will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing those services.
  
Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating.
 
Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.
 
Respectfully, 
Stephen E. Fraser, MDA

TSHIRTS :
I've gotten a lot of questions in my email with people having problems ordering shirts from our site and figured this was the easiest way to respond to it. The link I have been sending with the "Gallery" is where you order and a lot of people think this is just a place to view pictures of our clothing line. Here are a few frequently asked questions:

1. Do you offer more than just T-Shirts:
Yes, when you click the "T-Shirt gallery" Link and click on the picture of the shirt you are interested in you can scroll through the different styles. American Apparel, Baseball Ts, Hoodies, Mens, womens, Youth and Baby clothes.

2. How do I order one of the shirts?
http://www.tshirtmonster.ca/designer/Thankasoldier/ Click on this link and you will see all the designs on the one page. When you click on one of the designs it takes you to the order screen.

3. Do the shirts come in sizes larger than 2x?
Yes, 5XL on black, white, navy, royal blue, 3XL on every other colour. just put a note in the order or send an email to info@tshirtmonster.ca telling them of your request

Note: We get daily requests for different designs and slogans and take them all in to consideration. Every now and then we are in communication together with the company and release new designs.

YES, you can insert a NOTE in the check out page requesting that the image be on the back of the shirt instead of the front.

Hasan Charged.......

The Army Reserve unit that Hasan apparently was supposed to deploy with plans to leave for Afghanistan as scheduled early Friday. Hasan remains hospitalized in a San Antonio military hospital but is paralyzed from his wounds. Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. The Army plans an evaluation in the next 45 days to determine his mental state that day and whether he is competent to stand trial.
One things for sure, he's unable to get away if he's paralyzed. Of course I'm sure he is under constant Military guard.
Ironic, that the people and nation he attacked are the one's having to take care of him and protect him. Some thing's are just not right.........

Health Care & Aid........

Palestinians receive food aid at the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, warehouse in Gaza City, Thursday, Dec. 3, 2009. UNRWA has provided food, housing, education and health care for Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank and neighboring countries since its inception in 1950.

Palestinians receive food aid at the U.N. Relief and Works Agency.
This is a bad area to grow up, and try to survive. There is so much conflict and battles between this country and Israel.

Suspect Killed........

Police officers look over the body of the suspected Lakewood, Wash. police killer Maurice Clemmons, in the back of a medic unit in Seattle after he was shot and killed by a lone Seattle patrolman, Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2009. Maurice Clemmons was carrying a handgun he took from one of the dead officers when a Seattle policeman recognized him near a stolen car in a working-class south Seattle neighborhood about 2:45 a.m.
Four people were arrested for allegedly helping the suspect elude authorities during a massive two-day manhunt. Some are friends, some are acquaintances, some are partners in crime, some are relatives. More arrests are expected by today's end.

The advocate waits around a clipped unfortunate.

Coffee Shop ......

A police car sits in front of the Forza Coffee Company where four Lakewood, Wash. police officers were killed, Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009, in Parkland, Wash.

Maurice Clemmons, 37, a person of interest is pictured in this photo. Pierce County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ed Troyer described the shootings at the Forza Coffee shop as an ambush.

4 Officers Slain.......

Photo shows, from left to right, Lakewood police officers Greg Richards, 42, Tina Griswold, 40, Ronald Owens, 37, and Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39. The four were killed when a gunman opened fire on them at a Parkland, Wash. coffee store on Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009.
Many people want to know why this gunman was allowed out of jail, in the first place? It seems that there will be many questions, needing answers to this miscarriage of justice.

Hondura's General Elections.....

Honduras' interim President Roberto Micheletti casts his ballot during general elections in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009. With President Manuel Zelaya, who was ousted in a military coup last June, still holed up in the Brazilian embassy, voters will choose a new president Sunday from the political establishment that has dominated Honduras for decades.

A banner with an image of ousted President Manuel Zelaya and other Honduran presidents sits displayed at the headquarters of the Liberal party in Tegucigalpa, Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009.

Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya speaks during a news conference in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, Saturday, Nov. 28, 2009.

Iran Censured.........

The conference room at the beginning of an Atomic Energy Agency IAEA board of governors meeting in Vienna November 26, 2009. The U.N. nuclear watchdog's governing body voted overwhelmingly on Friday to censure Iran for developing a uranium enrichment site in secret, and demanded it freeze the project immediately.
I'm sure they will let this thing escalate into another tense situation. Just what the world needs, another place to start a fight.

Shuttle Crew Home........

The space shuttle Atlantis' braking parachute is released after landing on Kennedy Space Center's Runway 33 Friday, Nov. 27, 2009, in Cape Canaveral, Fla. The shuttle completed an 11-day mission to the international space station.

NASA workers prepare Space Shuttle Atlantis after it touched down on the shuttle landing facility at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

This must have cost the American people a fortune...........Looking glamorous in an elegant strapless gown by Indian-American designer Naeem Khan, Michelle Obama welcomed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife Mrs. Gursharan Kaur to the White House Tuesday night and ushered in the Obama administration's first official state dinner.

Queen Torrent

I know you've seen web pages that offer all types of links. I found this website, which offers a full page of notable links to different site's. There are even game torrents that will take you to some of the finest online game site's in the world. Search engines, have become the top internet influence and a second nature with the internet world. I've found many to have several bots they can send out to scour for certain website's. It's a new life in the field of technology, and you can join the site's page by just entering a website link.

In Custody........

I guess her mother will have to be caretaker after all...........
Sources said her reasoning was "there wasn't sufficient care for her son, while she was on tour abroad."

Photo shows Spc. Hutchinson and her son, Kamani. Hutchinson is an Army cook and single mother based at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Ga. who could face criminal charges after she refused to deploy to Afghanistan, saying she had no family able to care for her child.
I'm sure there are other parent's who would love to be at home with their children, as well. They chose to deploy with their troops to serve duty and provide support of the other troops as well. I understand the child is small, but she knew what she was getting into, when she chose to have a child while in the military.

21 Killed During Hijacked Convoy Attack.....

Philippine elections are particularly violent in the south because of the presence of armed groups, including Muslim rebels fighting for self-rule in the predominantly Roman Catholic nation, and political warlords who maintain private armies.

The decades-long Muslim insurgency has killed about 120,000 people since the 1970s. Dozens of gunmen hijacked a convoy carrying journalists, and family and supporters of a candidate for provincial governor, killing at least 21 of the travelers Monday in the southern Philippines' worst political violence in years.

There was no claim of responsibility for the bloodshed in the predominantly Muslim region wracked by political tensions between rival clans.

An Iranian Stand Off....

The difficulty facing Washington in mustering support for ratcheting up pressure on Iran was already clear in Thursday's statement by a Russian foreign ministry official that, as far as we know, there has been no final official answer from Tehran, and there is currently no discussion on working out additional sanctions against Iran. Friday's Brussels meeting simply reaffirmed disappointment in Iran's failure to embrace the deal thus far, but reiterated the commitment of the Western powers, Russia and China to continue to engage in dialogue with Tehran. A deal under which Iran would export the bulk of its stock of enriched uranium to Russia for conversion into reactor fuel.
Iran hasn't formally responded, but for the Western powers, that's the whole point - the proposed deal was negotiated weeks ago with Iranian representatives in Vienna, and Iran's government was asked to endorse it within a couple of days. But the plan faced a firestorm of criticism from across the political spectrum in Tehran, prompting the government of Iran to back track. Many Iranian leaders suspect the deal is part of a plan to deprive it of the right to enrich uranium on its own soil.

Just Trying
