I made my own without the filters because I WANTED TO COMMENT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I get started on this page I'm going to have to make a few things clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This girl "Barb" has a Wordpress blog and through my searches for information on new laws, government related issues and the Occupy movement I found one of her blog pages. I must have just gotten lucky though because it contained about 5 posts and they were all decent reads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was impressed enough with her that I both subscribed to her feed and shared her blog with many of my friends. I'm not so impressed now though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is a copy of what I got in her email yesterday. It disgusted me so much with the Archie Bunker stereotype attitude and the purely negative one sided, impotent and demeaning, senseless, slandering and shameful way that it accuses people in need and even goes on further to insult anyone attempting to give them any form of support,,,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the point, I opened that email about 3 times before I could bring myself down enough to actually read it beginning to end. I don't know where this... woman, got her colors from but she shows some serious signs of someone that grew up or created for herself some kind of strange environment. Her way of seeing the world that I live in, I think the one that most of us live in is scary beyond doubt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read her .... and I see visions of mass extermination, smiling barbara's standing over them gloating and squealing with delight&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had better get off that topic right now, but first one of the other things I had to say before we get to her post...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why am I so offended?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll have to take you back to a place in time. This is the year 1967 and to this day I have only shared any of that time once in writing, I'll do it here again I guess though...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was 1967. My father owned a construction company. It was called The American Rock Lath Company INC. It was a real company and it was incorporated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We at that time had all of the potential to become a very well established and upper middle class American family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was 6 years old at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In October that year my father went to the dentist to have a tooth extracted. Because of the A.M.A.'s regulations the dentist at that time had to give other medical professionals a cut from the cake and my father was told to go from there to the hospital in the next city and get a shot of antibiotics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was very healthy and never knew a thing about being ill or weakness, he also thought that if it was all that important then the dentist could have given him the damn shot then and there. He went back to his work to do what he did best instead, he after all did have his employee's to look out for and to contend with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That night he came home and I sat on his lap with him for the very last time in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He quickly got an infection in his blood that quickly moved into his heart. &lt;a href="http://www.csun.edu/%7Ehcmth011/chaser/article2.html"&gt;Bacterial Endocarditis&lt;/a&gt;  was what they called it. The rest from there on was him suffering, them cutting out pieces of his heart, us living off of nothing, everything being sold for next to nothing and then in the end it was April, the first nice day of the year and he died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The story is not about that though. It's about this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it was about 15 or 16 months long going through this. In the end I fukkin knew what poverty was. We had 12 children living in a 2 bedroom house. I slept on the bathroom floor or in the bathtub (when it was my turn). A large bag of white rice was ten to fifteen cents. We ate once a day on most days and we waited for that rice and we ate it and it was good. The other food we were too scared to eat. I wouldn't eat the good side of a rotted tomato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not talking about those fucking years anymore and I'm kind of pissed that that barb chose to talk about that life on her silly little blog, in her own special way!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's her half rotted tomatoes for you to eat from if you want to. I did comment and you'll easily see that my words are not hers, nor are her words mine!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 18pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Real Welfare America: Food Stamps, up 8.1% in the past&amp;nbsp;year&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Posted on &lt;a href="http://blogsensebybarb.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/the-real-welfare-america-food-stamps-up-8-1-in-the-past-year/"&gt;12/13/2011&lt;/a&gt; on this blog here... “&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogsensebybarb.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/the-real-welfare-america-food-stamps-up-8-1-in-the-past-year/"&gt;http://blogsensebybarb.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/the-real-welfare-america-food-stamps-up-8-1-in-the-past-year/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;”.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt; &lt;span style="color: #ccff66;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #66e533;"&gt;p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #00cc00;"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #00cc00;"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #7f667f;"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #7f667f;"&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #00cc00;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #00cc00;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #66e533;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ccff66;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.funkingdavesrealm.com/another_idiots_post_2nd_files/img32479.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="255" src="http://www.funkingdavesrealm.com/another_idiots_post_2nd_files/img32479.PNG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Has it occurred to anyone else that the enormous gulf that SEEMS to run between &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;left&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;, between Liberals and Conservatives – but not necessarily between parties – is a deliberate ploy, employed well by the progressives throughout the twentieth century to manufacture a gulf, class warfare and attempt to polarize &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;WE-THE-PEOPLE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;? WE are the power source in our Constitutional Republic! Yet the left and the liberal Democrats, led by President Obama, insist they know how to fix everything that is wrong with America. They know better, but of course, they cannot DO anything alone, so they want more and more money, more and more “Regulation” to advance their agenda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ironic, huh?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;In spite of its mantra that implies the Liberal Democrats are the party “of the people,” strangely, it is this mindset that has produced the “social reforms” that were to “lift the burden” from the people. However, in retrospect, these social welfare programs have done nothing but perpetuate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;slavery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt; in the name of compassion!

Do they have a … a PLAN? NO! Have yo0u seen a real plan come from the White House? NO … no plan! No budget in over 900 days! But … he does want 4 more years to finish his destruction of our nation and the disembowelment of our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;US CONSTITUTION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;The progressive movement born under the reign of Woodrow Wilson, slowly and deceptively has succeeded in replacing our liberties with a poor substitute for “security.” Food stamps replace the FEAR of no food. Medicaid replaces the FEAR of sudden illness. While these needs may be real, the GOVERNMENT is not designed to carry this burden, but rather to make resources available for those who wish to help and second, to publish the programs designed to help. The programs, however, must be supported and run 100% by the public, not the government.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.funkingdavesrealm.com/another_idiots_post_2nd_files/img27987.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="252" src="http://www.funkingdavesrealm.com/another_idiots_post_2nd_files/img27987.PNG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Food stamp rolls have risen 8.1% in the past year - Thanks Obama!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/11/01/some-15-of-u-s-uses-food-stamps/?mod=wsj_share_twitter"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;WSJ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt; – Nearly 15% of the U.S. population relied on food stamps in August, as the number of recipients hit 45.8 million.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Food stamp rolls have risen 8.1% in the past year, the Department of Agriculture reported, though the pace of growth has slowed from the depths of the recession. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/11/01/some-15-of-u-s-uses-food-stamps/?mod=wsj_share_twitter"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;MORE HERE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2011/09/understanding-poverty-in-the-united-states-surprising-facts-about-americas-poor"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;UNDERSTANDING POVERTY IN THE UNITED STATES: SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT AMERICA’S POOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;*Note: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3366ff;"&gt;The links above are hers, not mine!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2011/09/understanding-poverty-in-the-united-states-surprising-facts-about-americas-poor"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Executive Summary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt; Today, the Census Bureau released its annual poverty report, which declared that a record &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;46.2 million persons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;, or roughly one in seven Americans, were poor in 2010.

Although the current recession has increased the numbers of the poor, high levels of poverty predate the recession. In most years for the past two decades, the Census Bureau has declared that at least 35 million Americans lived in poverty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;The following are facts about persons defined as “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;poor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;” by the Census Bureau as taken from various government reports:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="Normal" style="margin-left: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;80 percent of poor households have air conditioning. In 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;You got that load of crap from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Housing.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Housing.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;, and it is just a load of crap! Read this “Since the 1970’s, the amount of electricity used by residential air conditioners has dropped by about 15 per cent per decade, thanks to improvements in such things as coil designs, compressors and circulation systems. Indeed, today’s most efficient air conditioners use 30 to 40 per cent less energy than models sold 10 or 15 years ago.”     &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.funkingdavesrealm.com/Since%20the%201970s,%20the%20amount%20of%20electricity%20used%20by%20residential%20air%20conditioners%20has%20dropped%20by%20about%2015%20per%20cent%20per%20decade,%20thanks%20to%20improvements%20in%20such%20things%20as%20coil%20designs,%20compressors%20and%20circulation%20systems.%20Indeed,+today%E2%80%99s+most+efficient+air+co"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;link&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt; I couldn't get great quotes, but I found this one after over an hour searching...1970 ranged from US$4066 to US$4329 now it's $750 - $1000 for at least 40% more efficient and The minimum wage in 1970 was $1.60. A new car cost $3,800 and a new house cost $23,400.00. The average annual income in 1970 was $17,550.00, right now the average annual income is broken into groups and not so easily defined, but $65,317 is the Mid range found on ask.com. Using those numbers then that $4,000 lower priced air conditioner would have been equal in cost to purchasing one for over $12,000 if you were to count the hours spent earning the money that you took from your earnings to pay for it. Instead though, you can buy a better one now for about $750, which reflects about a 7 month savings of all your earnings for that amount of time and today it's not even a 5 day work weeks take home pay. You should not compare values of products that have gone so far down in value that even the poor can now enjoy them to a time when only the wealthy had the option to own them. Do you remember in 1976, the digital watches? They were about 4 to $6,000. Does owning a digital watch make you part of the "higher class" if you own one now?

In fact, however&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Over the course of a year, 4 percent of poor persons become temporarily homeless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Only 9.5 percent of the poor live in mobile homes or trailers, 49.5 percent live in separate single-family houses or townhouses, and 40 percent live in apartments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Question:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;4% + 9.5% + 49.5% + 40% totals 104%, right? While we’re on that subject. It is correct to assume that 9.9% (the homeless and trailer-park trash scum with the nintendo’s, microwaves and plasma TV’s that have the satellite dish and 1 or 2 computers with the internet, Tivo and the VCR’s, well about just less than 8 out of 10 of them also have air conditioners, huh?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;42 percent of poor households actually own their own homes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;If the bottom 25% of Americans make $22,500 or less each year when 31 years ago they made $17,550 and a house cost $23,400 then, but it costs $221,900, you are actually going to say that out of the 104% that you used above, the 9.9% already live nowhere or in a trailer park, so then the other 93.1%, out of them the 42% of the whole can be counted, right? I think when you removed the trailer-park trash then that brought your 42% up to the count of about 50% of the renters and the guys living in luxury and “well kept apartments”, own their own homes, right? Something’s wrong with your math here Cookie. Again... if 4% are homeless, 40% live renting in apartments, 9.5% in trailer homes then you already counted 53.5%, if you take 42% away from that then all you got left is 4.5%. Are you kinda sorta saying that only 4.5% of Americans that live in a house or town house rent and the rest own them? What about the cities? Isn’t that where you have the highest concentration of families? They don’t have many townhouses or single family homes in the cities, but the ones they do have you say that all but less than 5 out of 100 of the low income people living in them actually own them?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;You show me a family of 4 (that is considered the average size now) with an 8 room apartment and I’ll bake you a cake... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;big style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;span style="color: #66e533;"&gt;p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #00cc00;"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #00cc00;"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #7f667f;"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #7f667f;"&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #00cc00;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #00cc00;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #66e533;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;The average poor American has more living space than the typical non-poor person in Sweden, France, or the United Kingdom. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;*NOTE: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;In France they don’t rent, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_housing_in_France"&gt;all but 06.9% OWN THEIR HOMES&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_France"&gt;In France they get their education For FREE&lt;/a&gt; and my friends in Sweden brag that &lt;a href="http://www.scb.se/statistik/_publikationer/LE0101_2009A01B_BR_LE121BR1101.pdf"&gt;living conditions there&lt;/a&gt; are better than here and they laugh about our lies and politics.

I was pretty excited by the information that you seemed to have posted opposing government propaganda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Now though I read this post and it is quite full of that type of propaganda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;You left way to many holes in this and I mean in just about every aspect of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;For one, even the numbers are way off. The increase in food stamps recipients reflects only the amount still deemed eligible, but it fails to address the issues of newer regulations that forced those in need out of the program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Another were the numbers on air-conditioners. You state an increase from 36% to 80% since 1970, what you failed to look at was the comparison between the two times you used. In 1970 they were just starting to become affordable and only the upper class citizens could afford them. Today however you need to pay $40 to dispose of a unit through local waste management facilities (this is an actual figure from an incident that happened 5 years ago), also today you can get them free on Free Cycle and through many other means like the giveaway’s in local newspapers. When was the last time you heard of anyone offering to give away a case of baby formula?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;You claim vitamin equivalences, but that’s just about as bogus a claim as anyone can make. ALL tests show the exact opposite. The real results are that healthy foods cannot be afforded and are quickly being substituted with $1 double cheeseburger specials from fast food restaurants and other lower cost, yet very high in fat foods. You know the ones I’m talking about? When you watch the news at night about how the poor are stuffing their faces with junk food and getting obese and it’s all their own faults. The segment between the Burger King, Wendy’s and McDonald’s commercials that offer the “value meals”. Or the 7-11 Special on Grab 2 for just $2 that offers two big bags of chips and 2 huge soda’s (months supply of sugar &amp;amp; fat for less than the cost of 1/5 a trimmed raw chicken breast at Walmarts Grocery section)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Oh and the 96% of the parents that say “openly” that their children never went hungry… LOL, 100% of them know Damn well that if they did admit their children went hungry they would be removed from the home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;You find some extra time on your hands in between your accusations against those who are suffering in this economy then email me.

The Christian Science Monitor reports, “The number of homeless children in 2010 exceeded even the total in 2006, when thousands of families displaced by hurricanes Katrina and Rita produced a historic spike in homelessness.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;It doesn’t stop there. According to recent figures released by the USDA, 17.2 million American households (14.5 percent) are "food insecure,” one of the highest recorded rates since surveys were first conducted in 1995. As a result, 16.2 million American children – one in five-- face the threat of hunger. According to emergency room doctors in cities around the country, this is leading to a dramatic spike in malnourishment in babies.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Over the summer, the Boston Globe reported on shocking levels of infant malnourishment in Massachusetts. Doctors at the Boston Medical Center (BMC) reported seeing “more hungry and dangerously thin young children in the emergency room than at any time in more than a decade of surveying families.” Pediatricians in other large cities, including Baltimore, Little Rock, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia, have also seen a rise in infant and child malnourishment since 2008.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;BMC doctors also warn that “rising chronic hunger threatens to leave scores of infants and toddlers with lasting learning and developmental problems.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Globe likened child malnourishment and hunger among Boston’s poor to levels seen in the "developing world." &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;[&lt;a href="http://www.alternet.org/story/153455/8_stories_buried_by_the_corporate_media_that_you_need_to_know_about?page=entire"&gt;Read the actual numbers here&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;

Behind a facade of corporate and congressional respectability, a cabal of ruthless men use extortion and murder to steal our nation's wealth and turn the United States into a fascist war-machine that inexorably threatens the entire world. But now at last, the American people are rising to unmask "THE ENEMY WITHIN"!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: lime;"&gt;COMING TO DVD from UFOTV - The Enemy Within - LOADED with Bonus Features and Film Extras - Go to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ufotv.com/"&gt;http://www.UFOTV.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Other Comments:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Its the hangman for Bush, Blair, Obama, Brezinski and all the duel  nationality US/Israeli Zionist Neo cons that where behind 9-11 and all﻿  the recent wars.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;to let the elite gain the power they need, an army is needed. so what  has to happen is: the soldiers themseves should just stop obeying! just  like chaplin said in the movie "the great dictator".... when that  happens, than world peace is near... since soldiers are too stupid to  think for themselves.... there will never be peace and the elite will  win.... get used to that and stop wining... or else, turn against the  elite! although you﻿ know you are in grave danger by doing so.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;Well Russia can dig and bury the nuke underground then detonate it or  high above the earth ﻿ but you are right a hole would be better.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;but they try to keep money and to have money after! &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;the blind guys give the system money so they dont want to wake you up&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;if you wake up- the rich﻿ one loose power, and noone want to loose power.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;so, they keep his power&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;power_money&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;money_people&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;people_blind and trustfull in goverm.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;blind_give money to the rulers of power&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b style="color: white;"&gt;the sýstem is Evil&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Most of the people choose to defend, in an active or passive fashion,  the current order of things mostly because of ignorance and comfort.  People are taught since childhood to think and act only in their own  personal best interest in order to aggressively seek power and material  wealth, to bury compassion and any other normal human value. It is sad  to see that too many people plan their lives like a﻿ business  investment, accepting less and less time for themselves and their  families.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wake up and join the light -﻿ because it only takes a little light within darkness to render it obsolete.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What an a hole.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i knew this shit was gonna be crazy when the film﻿ started with star wars like ships and shit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I felt like that too, but I did it anyway....they know something is  wrong...that is when they aren't keeping up with Hollywood or filing  their﻿ nails!

I hope this finds some use amongst a few of my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Start]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dear David,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This week, experts are speaking out against  the massive crime bill that our Conservative government is rushing  through Parliament.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;b&gt; Even conservative  Texans are warning Canada not to follow America’s failed path of  mandatory sentences and massive prison expansion.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; Now, we need a massive public outcry to stop the bill, and make Canada safer, not meaner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experts agree that &lt;b&gt;the crime bill would make Canada a more dangerous place by filling new prisons with people who should not be there.&lt;/b&gt;  Instead, experience shows that we should focus on proven strategies to  prevent crime, rehabilitate people and reintegrate them into society.&lt;sup&gt;1,3&lt;/sup&gt; The stakes are huge: &lt;b&gt;if  this bill passes we’ll be spending billions to trap people and create a  permanent underclass of Canadians with little hope for a better life.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is that more and more Canadians are speaking out and public opinion is close to a decisive shift. &lt;b&gt;The  Conservatives want to be "Canada's natural governing party" and they  care about public opinion. We need to show the Conservative government  that they can either choose a better path, or they will pay a serious  political cost for making Canada a meaner and more dangerous place.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here to tell Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and your MP you want a new strategy for Canadian justice:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://e-activist.com/ea-campaign/broadcast.response.do?ea.url.id=67691&amp;amp;ea.campaigner.email=v776oTvRc8y4gqflAVFh6ku5rR6M54Gl&amp;amp;ea_broadcast_target_id=0" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.leadnow.ca/keep-&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;canada-safe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://e-activist.com/ea-campaign/broadcast.response.do?ea.url.id=67688&amp;amp;ea.campaigner.email=v776oTvRc8y4gqflAVFh6ku5rR6M54Gl&amp;amp;ea_broadcast_target_id=0"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YAUnvkBW3qA/TqF9GIsh8wI/AAAAAAAABcA/F182yAcevdI/s1600/harper-prison-expansion-cartoon-250.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Harper's Prison Cartoon&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;Mandatory sentences and prison expansion backfired in the United States,  a country with only 5% of the global population and 25% of all the  world’s prisoners. Today, state after state is in crisis and is  repealing those laws.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One conservative Texan, Judge John Creuzot of the Dallas County Court, has warned us, saying: &lt;b&gt;“You  will spend billions and billions and billions on locking people up. And  there will come a point in time where the public says, 'Enough!' And  you'll wind up letting them out."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt; 2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;We all  want to make Canada safer. Yes, there is a role for punishment that is  proportionate to the crime and wisely chosen for the circumstance.  However, in the vast majority of cases, rehabilitation is better than  long jail sentences. &lt;b&gt;Canada’s focus on prevention and rehabilitation has already brought crime rates to historic lows.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3,5&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Every  billion dollars our federal government forces our provinces to spend on  new prisons is a billion dollars that could have been spent preventing  crimes&lt;/b&gt; by supporting programs for at-risk youth, drug and alcohol treatment programs, and strategies for mental health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://e-activist.com/ea-campaign/broadcast.response.do?ea.url.id=67692&amp;amp;ea.campaigner.email=v776oTvRc8y4gqflAVFh6ku5rR6M54Gl&amp;amp;ea_broadcast_target_id=0" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to send a message that you want to stop this bill&lt;/a&gt;, and establish an independent commission of diverse citizens and experts to create a 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; century Canadian justice plan:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://e-activist.com/ea-campaign/broadcast.response.do?ea.url.id=67693&amp;amp;ea.campaigner.email=v776oTvRc8y4gqflAVFh6ku5rR6M54Gl&amp;amp;ea_broadcast_target_id=0" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crime bill represents a creeping erosion of Canada’s social fabric. &lt;b&gt;We  know that millions of Canadians believe that prevention and restorative  justice - approaches that make sure the victim’s needs are met and the  community is healed - should be the heart of Canadian justice.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This  crime bill would move us in the wrong direction. Who benefits from  one-size-fits-all punishments? Who benefits from massive prison  expansion? Who benefits from throwing more of Canada’s youth, poor, and  mentally ill in prison?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;It’s time we speak out together. This petition is an essential first step in a major campaign. Will you join us?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With hope and respect,&lt;br /&gt;Jamie, Matthew, Emma, Adam, Ryan, Tria and the whole Leadnow.ca team&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.  The crime bill would raise the cost of filing for a pardon from $150 to  $600. Why? That money wont pay for new prisons, it will keep poor  people from getting jobs.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: cyan;"&gt;Sources:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[1] Critics of omnibus bill ‘advocate for criminals,’ Conservatives charge (Globe and Mail):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://e-activist.com/ea-campaign/broadcast.response.do?ea.url.id=67695&amp;amp;ea.campaigner.email=v776oTvRc8y4gqflAVFh6ku5rR6M54Gl&amp;amp;ea_broadcast_target_id=0" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.theglobeandmail.&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;com/news/politics/critics-of-&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;omnibus-bill-advocate-for-&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;criminals-conservatives-&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;charge/article2205213/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[2] Texas conservatives reject Harper's crime plan - 'Been there;

Candy and Cindy's parents  have traveled out of town for the weekend leaving the two sisters home  alone. Cindy receives a mysterious package in the mail with a free DVD  cartoon sent to her by the Devil himself. Candy is having a house party  with some friends while Cindy views the cartoon in her room. She  unintentionally lets loose two homicidal cartoon characters, Dr. Carnage  and Max Assassin. They are out of the cartoon dimension and into the  world as we know it. The fiendish characters stalk, torment and kill the  party-goers in wild and kooky cartoon traditions. Cindy is the only one  who has the power to stop the demented animations from continuing their  insane murder spree. Can she save her friends? Can she save herself  from the crazy mayhem? .....or will everyone die?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My opinion? I kinda liked it. It did get a little shocking to a point a few times, but a lot of it was pretty amusing.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/k_ZKH2h4z4A?rel=0" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

Nor is the reason far to seek. If, as seems  to be the case, these textbooks encompass one hundred percent of the  information that most high school and college graduates in this country  will ever encounter on the subject of American history, the  American-history wars would appear to be well worth fighting. For what  Americans know and understand about the history of the society in which  they live will determine the degree of their willingness to honor and  preserve its ideals and traditions. More than that: it will determine &lt;i&gt;what they regard as the ideals and traditions of their society&lt;/i&gt;. It will determine nothing less than the kind of society they will seek to strengthen and perpetuate.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Until very recently, however, the range of the conflict over  American-history textbooks was narrow indeed. All sides tacitly agreed  that the story of the United States was the triumphant tale of a people  fervently devoted to peace, prosperity, and individual liberty; a people  left utterly untempted by opportunities of the kind that had led so  many other nations down the ignoble road of empire; a people who went to  war only as a last resort and only when both individual liberty and  Western civilization itself were imperiled and at stake. There had been  injustices along the way, of course — the Native Americans had been  grossly mistreated, as had the African Americans. Women had been denied  the vote and even the right to own property. Yet these injustices had  been corrected in time, and the formerly mistreated groups had been  integrated into full citizenship and full participation in the liberty,  prosperity, and peace that were the birthright of every American — the  very same liberty, prosperity, and peace that had made America itself a  beacon of hope to the entire world."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4692643536477093158-9170454671954942277?l=funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/9170454671954942277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/9170454671954942277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2011/10/why-american-history-is-not-what-they.html' title='WHY AMERICAN HISTORY IS NOT WHAT THEY SAY: AN INTRODUCTION TO REVISIONING (Jeff Riggenbach)'/><author><name>FunkingDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14604767314202060422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MOLI8Ra_vkk/Sad2XyJWAEI/AAAAAAAAANk/h4qzB_NmL8k/S220/MyPic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692643536477093158.post-2796908168444971685</id><published>2011-10-03T05:29:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-03T05:52:48.815-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music vid'/><title type='text'>another girl singer</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;

It's a screen cap of a high definition of one I'm trying to make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I "borrowed" this song because it's beautiful, but not so much to make a music vid with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am trying to make a template with layers, frames and transitions in high definition. I'm working on an AMD AM2, 3 Ghz with 4 Gb ram, and it should be more than enough, but it isn't. Every time I attempt to join the vid together the programs crash. My settings are 640 X 480 "4X3 format" @ 30 fps. In all cases I re-size everything to those dimensions too before I import my work into the video editor. I also use the same settings for transitions in animated gif and convert those to Divx format.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something is wrong and some advice would be appreciated [email:&lt;a href="mailto:FunkingDave@gmail.com"&gt;FunkingDave@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;], if you have any to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm using Paint Shop pro X3 and X4, also Pennacle Studio 14, VideoSpin, DebugMode Wax 2.0 and trying out a few others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My ambition is to make a full length film introducing highlights of current social trends and changes in government, in order to introduce others to access to find more information on a wide range of topics that I have found to be very interesting.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I hope you enjoy this video and I hope Cyndi Lauper doesn't get offended over me using it for this stage of my studying.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really have no idea who he is, but I'd like to chat with him some day. He's putting out some excellent software and he aint in it for the buck. I admire that (I also know he needs some bucks to survive too)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below I'll give my weak version of an intro into some of his software. Next the page links and at the bottom a few vids that you can watch for a little jump start from the experienced editing artists to get you started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wax 2.0 is (as I said) free. It handles many file types (codecs) and even more than that it allows you to decide the output frame sixe. Not many others allow that. It is also pretty fast compared to all the crap I've bought and after installing I notice no change in my computers speed or performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WinMorph is an addon for WAX and it also works as a standalone package. After installing, it will see what else you have that it can or cannot work with (you decide if you want the plugins attached to other programs or not). It found my Adobe Premier and CS5,&amp;nbsp; it also found my Ulead Video Studio 8. I allowed the plugins, but haven't tried them out on the others yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Presets I don't remember how I found, might even be in with the plugins page. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other two are what I call extra's. FrameServer will allow you to dismantle video content for use in maling animated gifs, scenes or to merge in as transitional effects. I use VLC myself for stealing frames, but I'll try that one out later anyway. Wink is a sort of capturing device. It allows for you to add in buttons and with it you can build swf files, pdf's presentation files and many other choices. It is (as I understand), mostly used for making tutorials. I think I fould find other uses for it as well, but that's getting off-topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beyond that Satish has a few others. I'll look into them later, or you can do it yourself any time you want on his home page [&lt;a href="http://www.debugmode.com/"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.debugmode.com/wax/download.htm"&gt;WAX 2.0 &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.debugmode.com/winmorph/"&gt;WinMorph&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://users.otenet.gr/%7Evassias/index.htm"&gt;Wax's Transitions Presets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EXTRA'S:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.debugmode.com/frameserver/"&gt;Frame Server&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.debugmode.com/wink/"&gt;Wink&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How To Add Special Effects To Videos For Free&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="embedded-howcast-video" style="font-size: 9px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="352" id="howcastplayer" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.howcast.com/flash/howcast_player.swf?file=1057&amp;amp;theme=black"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="flashVars" value="&amp;amp;fs=true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.howcast.com/flash/howcast_player.swf?file=1057&amp;amp;theme=black" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="352" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" flashVars="&amp;amp;fs=true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a alt="How To Add Special Effects To Videos For Free" class="embedded-playback-url" href="http://www.howcast.com/videos/156660-Advanced-WAX-20-Tutorial" target="_blank"&gt;How To Add Special Effects To Videos For Free&lt;/a&gt; on Howcast&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: lime; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Green screen effect&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="embedded-howcast-video" style="font-size: 9px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="352" id="howcastplayer" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.howcast.com/flash/howcast_player.swf?file=1057&amp;amp;theme=black"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="flashVars" value="&amp;amp;fs=true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.howcast.com/flash/howcast_player.swf?file=1057&amp;amp;theme=black" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="352" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" flashVars="&amp;amp;fs=true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a alt="How To Use a Green Screen" class="embedded-playback-url" href="http://www.howcast.com/videos/1057-How-To-Use-a-Green-Screen" target="_blank"&gt;How To Use a Green Screen&lt;/a&gt; on Howcast&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;NOTE:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;All of the tutorial vids I shared I got from &lt;a href="http://www.howcast.com/"&gt;HowCast&lt;/a&gt;, I even joined.

Some would say too much so, but I don't think so. No matter how you call it, it's been there every step of the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both my mother and aunt Pat were (at one time), professional backup singers for the top Country &amp;amp; Western bands, performers, whatever, when I was a young child. That did nothing to attract me to music in any way though. Even at age 8, 9 or 10 I could see right through the phoney accents, the bullshit drama and the freakin costumes were so bad that just calling them bad would be complimenting them. I hated sitting in the corner of the bar with my baby brother, younger brother &amp;amp; sister when I was 10 and staying quiet and out of the way until 1 or 2:00 AM. Worse than that was sitting out in the car on other nights, parked on the side of the bar or in the rear. Call it what you want, but I don't see much in Country music that I don't just want to spit at. There are a few greats and I admire them greatly, still this post isn't about that. It's about the music of my life. Not theirs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rock, Blues, Jazz, Soul, tiny bit of Disco (maybe), Gospel, those are the sounds more agreeable to me. Most of those I hate too though. I just hate cookie-cutter anything. I Love talent though and this post is about talent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go 1,000 directions with this post. I'm just going to stick with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Winwood"&gt;Steve Winwood&lt;/a&gt;. I'll share from Wiki's page on him, rather than share the lies and rumors that I had heard in my younger days. I'll do that after I have my say though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was 15 years old and in my first real apartment when I got a copy of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Low_Spark_of_High_Heeled_Boys_%28album%29"&gt;Low Spark of High Heeled Boys&lt;/a&gt;. I wasn't even sure I was allowed to like it publicly then, so I asked a few friends if they liked it. One friend that I admired asked me to play it for him because he loved it and we got stoned listening to it over and over and on that day I became a fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It had a Middle Earth feeling to it, sort of dreamy, sort of like the British meadow-lands even before England. Had some electric sounds too, but the horns, flutes were all new to me then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later when I got married (just a few years later) I got a copy of Welcome to the Canteen. I think I ruined it listening to it (8-track tapes only last so long). I couldn't even order another copy now, because (they all said..) it was just an event type recording. It had been made to raise money for The Oz Benefit Concert. I was pissed! I called everyone and tried everything. I even offered $250 for a decent quality recorded copy of that album, because it reminded me so much of those early days with my wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve Winwood also looked exactly like my brother Larry and Larry picked right up on it. We would party our asses o0ff and he would air guitar to the music. I can't even tell you how beautiful he was. Later he was struck by a car and he lives now, but has no memory of anything except before the accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soo, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_%28band%29"&gt;Traffic&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Winwood"&gt;Steve Winwood&lt;/a&gt; have been with me through some of the best times in my life. &lt;br /&gt;I hear the music now, I have to be careful with it. I don't "just" play it, because I don't want to ever trade off those memories for new ones I might make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I usually only listen a little and listen alone and Love my Brother again, and Love my Wife again and remember that age when I was still young and green and actually needed a friends acceptance before I could break out of the top 40 mold and go my own way into my own damn music (where I fukkin Belonged!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please read a little from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/"&gt;Wiki's&lt;/a&gt; page below, visit it yourself [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Winwood"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;] and read the rest and check out some of the vids I'm sharing with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessings,,,&lt;br /&gt;Funk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Early_years:_1960s"&gt;Early years: 1960s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;While he was still a pupil at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Barr_School" title="Great Barr School"&gt;Great Barr School&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Winwood#cite_note-4"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Winwood was a part of the Birmingham &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_and_blues" title="Rhythm and blues"&gt;rhythm and blues&lt;/a&gt; scene, playing the &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammond_Organ" title="Hammond Organ"&gt;Hammond B-3 organ&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar" title="Guitar"&gt;guitar&lt;/a&gt;, backing &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues" title="Blues"&gt;blues&lt;/a&gt; singers such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muddy_Waters" title="Muddy Waters"&gt;Muddy Waters&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lee_Hooker" title="John Lee Hooker"&gt;John Lee Hooker&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Bone_Walker" title="T-Bone Walker"&gt;T-Bone Walker&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howlin%27_Wolf" title="Howlin' Wolf"&gt;Howlin' Wolf&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._B._King" title="B.

At this time, Winwood was living on Atlantic Road in Great Barr, close  to the Birmingham music halls where he played. Winwood had modelled  himself on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Charles" title="Ray Charles"&gt;Ray Charles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-soul_3-1"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Winwood#cite_note-soul-3"&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the age of 14 Winwood joined the &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Davis_Group" title="Spencer Davis Group"&gt;Spencer Davis Group&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Winwood#cite_note-5"&gt;[6]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; along with his older brother &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muff_Winwood" title="Muff Winwood"&gt;Muff&lt;/a&gt;,  who later had success as a record producer. Steve's distinctive high  tenor singing voice and vocal style drew comparisons to Ray Charles.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Winwood#cite_note-6"&gt;[7]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; At the end of 1965 the group had their first &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_chart" title="Record chart"&gt;number one&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_%28music%29" title="Single (music)"&gt;single&lt;/a&gt; with "&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_on_Running_%28Jackie_Edwards_song%29" title="Keep on Running (Jackie Edwards song)"&gt;Keep On Running&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Winwood#cite_note-7"&gt;[8]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; and the money from this success allowed Winwood to buy his own Hammond B-3 organ.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-soul_3-2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Winwood#cite_note-soul-3"&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During this time Winwood joined forces with guitarist &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton" title="Eric Clapton"&gt;Eric Clapton&lt;/a&gt; as part of the one-off group &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton%27s_Powerhouse" title="Eric Clapton's Powerhouse"&gt;Eric Clapton's Powerhouse&lt;/a&gt;. Songs were recorded for the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektra_Records" title="Elektra Records"&gt;Elektra&lt;/a&gt; label, but only three tracks were released on the compilation album, &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27s_Shakin%27" title="What's Shakin'"&gt;What's Shakin'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Winwood co-wrote and recorded the hits "&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimme_Some_Loving" title="Gimme Some Loving"&gt;Gimme Some Loving&lt;/a&gt;" and "&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_a_Man_%28Spencer_Davis_Group_song%29" title="I'm a Man (Spencer Davis Group song)"&gt;I'm a Man&lt;/a&gt;" before leaving the Spencer Davis Group.

He's shared himself in many ways and has quite a story that motivated him, but I'm not going to tell it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always get pissed (as I mentioned before), when I hear disk jocks tell stories. Most of them are lies,,;&lt;i&gt;"Listen to a liar and repeat from him and you risk becoming a liar yourself".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in 1977 I was turned onto a bootleg recording of John Lennon that contained the songs "Working Class Hero" &amp;amp; "Mother". The rumor was that he only played the song Mother once live and after doing that he broke down in tears over it's emotional content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People talk, Idiots talk more, after that I heard a lot more from a lot more Idiots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I realize that the truth in the matter is that the D.J.'s were only doing their jobs, hyping up the contraversy to push the sales of even (fake) bootleg albums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still, after that quit listening to the whores that sell bullshit as whatever...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the first I've seen or heard that I think I can trust in for even coming close to the story behind that powerful song. First I post "Mother", you should hear it first. Yea or nay, the film on John Lennon's early life follows after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you like it, if not then lie an say you did.

A vote for H.R.2164 will earn you the enmity of both liberals and conservatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do the right thing. Vote NO on H.R.2164!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those above are not my reasons, mine are mentioned below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I oppose any form of electronic eligibility verification for employment requirement. I also oppose the laws that would restrict any persons ability to earn what he or she needs to survive. Laws like this are meant to cause only harm and even though they sprinkle up the bill with a few sweet ideas and offer up a few pluses. When it's passed it becomes as abused as all of the others have been.I can see this law being used to restrict the type of employment opportunities for even natural citizens and being used to filter out the classes and further define the limits of advancement for all. H.R. 2164 is not a law intended to protect. It is only a law of governing and we have too many of those types of laws already in place , being abused right now!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. David Rice&lt;br /&gt;[my street] St&lt;br /&gt;[my city/state]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[&lt;a href="http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=35926"&gt;Here is that Bill in PDF format, for you to read it yourself&lt;/a&gt;] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4692643536477093158-2362771032264172187?l=funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/2362771032264172187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/2362771032264172187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2011/08/vote-no-on-hr2164.html' title='Vote NO on H.R.2164!'/><author><name>FunkingDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14604767314202060422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MOLI8Ra_vkk/Sad2XyJWAEI/AAAAAAAAANk/h4qzB_NmL8k/S220/MyPic.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jXA7DIJVZ5M/TkHENVXnSEI/AAAAAAAABOo/uThS7fzVn78/s72-c/MyReply.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692643536477093158.post-2314866015496991093</id><published>2011-08-08T20:55:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-08T20:55:50.601-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music vid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Classic rock'/><title type='text'>Melanie Safka in reflection..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;The very first time I really heard her was when walkig down Division St in North Attleboro, Mass.

No relationship or anything, but she gave it to me after seeing how much it lifted me. For the next couple of years I carried it in my back-pack around the US and after that in my truck (mixed in my collection)&amp;nbsp; when I moved from home to home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dn't think the feelings can ever go away when I hear her, because the memories still remail. I remember the saddest days and putting it on and the feelings changing to peace. I remember the sunlight that seemed to be there even at night when I listened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as knowing all about her. I don't. I never had any money back then to invest into the culture.&amp;nbsp; Wikipedia has more info on her than I ever did and I'm posting some of it from their page [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Safka"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;] below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you like the vids and I hope you either re-connect with her music or introduce yourself to it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace,,,&lt;br /&gt;Funk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Melanie grew up in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astoria,_Queens" title="Astoria, Queens"&gt;Astoria&lt;/a&gt; neighborhood of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens" title="Queens"&gt;Queens&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City"&gt;New York City&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York" title="New York"&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Safka#cite_note-3"&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; She made her first public appearance at age four on the radio show &lt;i&gt;Live Like A Millionaire&lt;/i&gt;, performing the song "Gimme a Little Kiss".

Melanie was a student at New York's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Academy_of_Dramatic_Arts" title="American Academy of Dramatic Arts"&gt;American Academy of Dramatic Arts&lt;/a&gt; when she began singing in the folk clubs of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Village" title="Greenwich Village"&gt;Greenwich Village&lt;/a&gt; and signed her first recording contract.&lt;br /&gt;Initially signed to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records"&gt;Columbia Records&lt;/a&gt; in the United States, Melanie released two singles on the label. Subsequently she signed with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddah_Records" title="Buddah Records"&gt;Buddah Records&lt;/a&gt; and first found chart success in Europe when her 1969 song, "Bobo's Party", reached Number 1 in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France" title="France"&gt;France&lt;/a&gt;. Her debut album received rave reviews from &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_%28magazine%29" title="Billboard (magazine)"&gt;Billboard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;  which heralded her voice as "... wise beyond her years. Her  non-conformist approach to the selections on this LP make her a new  talent to be reckoned with."&lt;br /&gt;Later in 1969, Melanie had a hit in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands" title="Netherlands"&gt;Netherlands&lt;/a&gt; with "Beautiful People", before performing at the &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_Festival" title="Woodstock Festival"&gt;Woodstock Festival&lt;/a&gt;. The inspiration for her signature song, "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lay_Down_%28Candles_in_the_Rain%29" title="Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)"&gt;Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)&lt;/a&gt;", apparently arose from the Woodstock audience lighting candles during her set. The recording became a hit in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe" title="Europe"&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia" title="Australia"&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada" title="Canada"&gt;Canada&lt;/a&gt;, and the United States in the spring and summer of 1970. The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-side_and_B-side" title="A-side and B-side"&gt;B-side&lt;/a&gt;  of the single featured Melanie's spoken-word track "Candles in the  Rain". "Lay Down" became Melanie's first Top Ten hit in America, peaking  at #6 on the &lt;i&gt;Billboard&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100"&gt;singles chart&lt;/a&gt;, and achieving worldwide success. Later hits included "Peace Will Come (According To Plan)" and a cover of the &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stones" title="Rolling Stones"&gt;Rolling Stones&lt;/a&gt;' "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Tuesday" title="Ruby Tuesday"&gt;Ruby Tuesday&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="thumb tright"&gt;&lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 302px;"&gt;&lt;a class="image" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Soffty-Melanie_Safka.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" class="thumbimage" height="245" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Soffty-Melanie_Safka.jpg/300px-Soffty-Melanie_Safka.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt;&lt;div class="magnify"&gt;&lt;a class="internal" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Soffty-Melanie_Safka.jpg" title="Enlarge"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="11" src="http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.17/common/images/magnify-clip.png" width="15" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Melanie on the "Mr Softee" free stage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In 1970, Melanie was the only artist to brave the court injunction banning the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_Ridge_Rock_Festival" title="Powder Ridge Rock Festival"&gt;Powder Ridge Rock Festival&lt;/a&gt;, playing for the crowd on a homemade stage powered by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_Softee" title="Mister Softee"&gt;Mister Softee&lt;/a&gt; trucks. Shortly following this performance, Melanie played at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Fields_Festival" title="Strawberry Fields Festival"&gt;Strawberry Fields Festival&lt;/a&gt;, held on August 7–9, 1970 at &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosport" title="Mosport"&gt;Mosport Park&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario" title="Ontario"&gt;Ontario&lt;/a&gt;. She also performed at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Wight_Festival" title="Isle of Wight Festival"&gt;Isle of Wight Festival&lt;/a&gt; in 1970 where she was introduced by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Moon" title="Keith Moon"&gt;Keith Moon&lt;/a&gt;  and received four standing ovations (she also appeared 40 years later  at the 2010 Isle of Wight festival). Melanie was also the artist who  sang to herald in the summer solstice at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Festival" title="Glastonbury Festival"&gt;Glastonbury Fayre&lt;/a&gt;  (later the Glastonbury Festival) in England in June 1971. She is due to  perform again at Glastonbury in 2011 which is the fortieth anniversary  of the original festival.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Safka#cite_note-4"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melanie left Buddah Records when they insisted that she produce albums on demand. In 1971 she formed her own label, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhood_Records" title="Neighborhood Records"&gt;Neighborhood Records&lt;/a&gt;, with Peter Schekeryk, who was both her producer and husband.&lt;br /&gt;Melanie had her biggest American hit on the Neighborhood label: the novelty-sounding 1972 number one "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_New_Key" title="Brand New Key"&gt;Brand New Key&lt;/a&gt;" (often referred to as "The Roller Skate Song"). "Brand New Key" sold over three million copies worldwide&lt;sup class="Template-Fact" style="white-space: nowrap;" title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from October 2010"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"&gt;citation needed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt; and was featured in the 1997 movie &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogie_Nights_%28soundtrack%29" title="Boogie Nights (soundtrack)"&gt;Boogie Nights&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;When first released, "Brand New Key" was banned by some radio stations because some saw sexual innuendo in the lyrics:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;I got a brand new pair of roller skates,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;You got a brand new key.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;I think that we should get together and try them out, to see...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;I been looking around awhile,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;You got something for me&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;You got a brand new key.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;For somebody who don't drive&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;I been all around the world&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;i&gt;Some people say I've done alright for a girl...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;The follow-up single to "Brand New Key" was "Ring the Living Bell".  To compete with this release, Melanie's former record company released  "The Nickel Song", which she had recorded while still signed to Buddah  Records. Both songs were simultaneous Top 40 hits while "Brand New Key"  was still on the charts — setting a record for the first female  performer to have three Top 40 hits concurrently.&lt;sup class="Template-Fact" style="white-space: nowrap;" title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from July 2010"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"&gt;citation needed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt; Melanie was awarded Billboard's #1 Top Female Vocalist for 1972.&lt;br /&gt;She had another Top 40 hit single in 1973 with "Bitter Bad", a song  that marked a slight departure from the hippie sentiments of earlier  hits (with lyrics such as "If you do me wrong I'll put your first and  last name in my rock n' roll song"). Other chart hits during this period  were the self-penned "Together Alone" and a cover of "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_You_Love_Me_Tomorrow" title="Will You Love Me Tomorrow"&gt;Will You Love Me Tomorrow&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;Melanie has been awarded two gold albums (and a gold single for "Brand New Key") and three of her compositions were hits for &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Seekers" title="The New Seekers"&gt;The New Seekers&lt;/a&gt;. She is also well-known for her musical adaptations of children's songs, including "Alexander Beetle" and "Christopher Robin".&lt;br /&gt;In 1973, Melanie started to retreat from the spotlight to begin a  family. Her daughter Leilah was born that same year. When she became an  official &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNICEF" title="UNICEF"&gt;UNICEF&lt;/a&gt; ambassador in 1972, she agreed to forgo a world tour in favour of raising money for the organization."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;

Also attached is a .GIF graphic file which depicts your chart wheel. Thank you for visiting the Astrolabe WEB site at http://alabe.com       This report has been created especially for you. It represents your Unique picture at the time you were born and at the place you were born. If you are unsure of the exact time of day of your birth (or the date or the place), the reading will probably not seem as accurate as it could be in certain places, but other parts will seem to be very appropriate. You will notice at certain places in the reading that contradictory information seems to be given. This is to be expected, because the personality of most people is extremely complex. For example, at times we are quite shy and at other times we are very aggressive, and so forth. You will also notice that, at certain points in the reading, certain patterns may be repeated over and over, especially in a longer more detailed report than this one. This is also to be expected. This simply means that your horoscope has an extremely strong focus on this particular pattern and that you should pay extra close attention to what is said about it. Now, on with your Report!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Info:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name: Dylan Rice &lt;br /&gt;March 2 2009 &lt;br /&gt;4:05 PM  Time Zone is EST &lt;br /&gt;Attleboro, MA&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Report:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rising Sign is in 25 Degrees Leo &lt;br /&gt;You love to be the center of attention and you want to appear strong, confident and dominant. You are very proud of yourself, sometimes quite vain even. When all around you are bedraggled and falling apart, you look like a million bucks! Very dignified and honorable, you enjoy the power and privilege, but not the responsibilities, that come with leadership. You are very idealistic but can also be quite stubborn. Others impress you only if they have integrity (but wealth, power and influence can also turn your head). You prefer rich, elegant surroundings and possessions, and will try to acquire them as your budget allows. Physically, you are very impressive - - at your best you have a regal, charismatic demeanor and bearing. Try not to be such a showoff!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sun          is in 12 Degrees Pisces. &lt;br /&gt;Extremely sensitive and emotional, you absorb the emotions of others (whether positive or negative) like a sponge. Emotionally vulnerable, you are easily upset and tend to cry readily. You are at your best when you can structure your environment in such a way that you are surrounded by positive, upbeat people. You are very helpful and understanding of the needs of others. Indeed, at times this can be a disadvantage, because you can be a sucker for anyone who needs help. Shy, dreamy, romantic in nature, you delight in retreating into your private fantasy world. Just be careful that you do not get lost in it! Trust your intuitions -- you may be quite psychic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moon         is in 23 Degrees Taurus. &lt;br /&gt;Warmth, comfort, security and familiar surroundings are necessary for you to feel at ease. Very loving and affectionate, you prefer a steady, patterned way of life. Patient, calm and steadfast, you are not easily upset. Others look to you for support. You tend to be a slow starter and a slow mover -- others may try to rush you, but they will never succeed. Emotionally, you are quite stubborn -- your attitudes about people and things were firmly set in your youth and will change very little as an adult. You are also very cautious and conservative about spending money. It is not that you are selfish, you just need to feel secure. Beware of a tendency to become overly complacent and too self-satisfied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mercury      is in 20 Degrees Aquarius. &lt;br /&gt;You tend to be very opinionated -- you have strongly felt notions about things and are quite vocal about expressing and defending them. Yet you are also an original thinker -- you enjoy shocking others with your offbeat, original thoughts. You appreciate and need mental and intellectual stimulation. Your judgment is usually fair and impartial -- you can be a good critic because you can remain objective and unemotional about most things. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venus        is in 15 Degrees Aries. &lt;br /&gt;You are a very affectionate person but you hate to be tied down. You are more than willing to be the aggressor in initiating new relationships. Indeed, once you have set your sights on someone, you tend to pursue him or her ardently and passionately. But you do demand your own way in a relationship. Try to give in to your partner's needs and desires once in a while. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mars         is in 20 Degrees Aquarius. &lt;br /&gt;Your ideas and opinions are usually inventive and original, but sometimes they are merely eccentric and offbeat. You are altruistic -- you will work hard for the attainment of group goals, as long as they meet your high standards. You tend to resent traditional authority figures because you think that your ideas are better thought out and more valuable than theirs. Very idealistic, you are a rebel WITH a cause! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jupiter      is in 13 Degrees Aquarius. &lt;br /&gt;Your personal growth occurs when you have the freedom to do things in new and interesting ways -- this brings out your natural inventiveness. You are an individualist, but you are also attracted to mass movements that emphasize social betterment and you will devote much time and energy to their efforts. Very fair- minded and objective, you have extraordinary skills at organization and administration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturn       is in 18 Degrees Virgo. &lt;br /&gt;Your life must be orderly and practical and full of known and familiar routines in order for you to feel comfortable with yourself. Be careful, however, not to let "order" become the be-all and end-all of your life, or you may become cold, crass and unfeeling. Doing useful, practical things boosts your self- esteem. Abstract concepts and reasoning seem frivolous and a waste of time to you. You are very critical of yourself (and others), indeed at times quite self-deprecating. Try to relax a bit and allow yourself the freedom to fail once in a while. However, you probably won't fail very often because you are such a perfectionist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uranus       is in 22 Degrees Pisces. &lt;br /&gt;You, and most of your peers, are extremely idealistic and want to change society by completely reorienting its highest religious goals and aspirations. Just be careful to make sure that your new goal structures are properly grounded in reality so that they have a chance of being accepted by the majority. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neptune      is in 24 Degrees Aquarius. &lt;br /&gt;You, and your entire generation, will idealize and even venerate the ability to remain detached as well as the ability to objectively analyze any given situation. There will be a concerted effort on your part to cure the ills of society as a whole. But be very careful to continue to maintain and protect the rights of individuals in the midst of these potentially far-reaching changes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pluto        is in 03 Degrees Capricorn. &lt;br /&gt;For your entire generation, this is a period of intense changes in the very fabric of society. Many accepted institutions may pass away or be born anew. The good of the community as a whole will be stressed and individual rights may come under attack. This will possibly be a period of decay that will lead to a new order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N. Node      is in 08 Degrees Aquarius. &lt;br /&gt;As long as someone else (or a group or organization) appeals to your intellectual sensibilities, you'll try to ally yourself with them in some way. You may find that you always seem to get involved with many wide-ranging groups -- so much so that you find it difficult to fit them all into your busy schedule. Your many friends and acquaintances provide you with needed stimulation. You're loyal and fair-minded -- you try to spend time equally with all your friends, never concentrating on just one or two for any length of time. Although probably quite conservative yourself, you're attracted to those who are a bit offbeat or eccentric -- you enjoy watching their minds work. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4692643536477093158-2382616681595403861?l=funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/2382616681595403861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/2382616681595403861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2011/08/dylan-and-year-of-donut.html' title='Dylan and The Year Of The Donut'/><author><name>FunkingDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14604767314202060422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MOLI8Ra_vkk/Sad2XyJWAEI/AAAAAAAAANk/h4qzB_NmL8k/S220/MyPic.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w3rpHa5Hc6A/TjngzKsSN3I/AAAAAAAABNw/yH1sUqlBt1M/s72-c/year+of+the+donut.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692643536477093158.post-2076421803842736070</id><published>2011-07-23T14:41:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-23T14:45:56.946-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music vid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Classic rock'/><title type='text'>Lynyrd Skynyrd - Old grey whistle test 1975 [Complete]</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fantastic performance by Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Television Centre in London, England back in "75".&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;Enjoy... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="320" src="http://www.4shared.com/embed/708843968/df5d1cc6" width="420"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;Check the box in bottom right corner of the viewer to watch this in full screen.

Sadie does  not give attention to Ethan, but when she sees on the front page of the  news that Tricia has been found dead in a dumpster in Koreatown, she  decides to visit the address. She finds an abandoned house with a  gruesome basement full of blood and she immediately drives to Ethan's  apartment. She finds the place in a complete mess and is abducted by a  stranger and taken to Bishop, who wants to know what Tricia has told  her. Then, Bishop and his mate Eve kill Sadie and they have a  necrophilic threesome with her body. Later, Sadie awakes in the freezer  of the morgue and sooner she realizes that she is a vampire and promises  revenge to her sire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needs more edit...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4692643536477093158-2256806073040066815?l=funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/2256806073040066815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/2256806073040066815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2011/07/rise-blood-hunter-2007.html' title='Rise: Blood Hunter (2007)'/><author><name>FunkingDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14604767314202060422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MOLI8Ra_vkk/Sad2XyJWAEI/AAAAAAAAANk/h4qzB_NmL8k/S220/MyPic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692643536477093158.post-1747272556444330917</id><published>2011-07-11T08:46:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-11T08:46:46.414-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='info'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Interesting'/><title type='text'>South Station, Boston</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--1tAOhTWZH0/Thr0aWPPZGI/AAAAAAAABLI/FP9xQUv7wzA/s1600/SouthStation1920s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="313" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--1tAOhTWZH0/Thr0aWPPZGI/AAAAAAAABLI/FP9xQUv7wzA/s400/SouthStation1920s.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Right-click on image&amp;nbsp; and select &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;open in new tab" to view full size.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;South Station&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Submitted by Paul Cutler III on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 11:43am.[&lt;a href="http://www.shorpy.com/node/7451?size=_original"&gt;on this page&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;South Station is only 9 years old in this photo. All 28 tracks are in use, and at this time it is the busiest passenger terminal in the world. It was capable of handling 8 simultaneous train movements through the yard throat.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This picture most likely was taken from the drawbridge control cabin over the Fort Point Channel. This 3-bridge, 6-track structure was only torn down in the past 10 years or so for the Big Dig.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The large train shed was torn down in the 1930's due to the expense of maintaining it and the corrosive effects of the coal smoke on the steel and concrete structure. Not to mention keeping the glass clean.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The building on the left is the outbound express building, which was originally used by a predecessor of the Railway Express Agency. Most if not all the cars in the photo are wood framed cars. The 3 cars behind the leg of the tower are especially ancient with their flat arched roofs.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The building on the far right is the power plant and gas plant for power and lighting of the station (replaced by the South Postal Annex in the 1940's). The coal carrying cars are of the drop bottom gondola type, rather than a true hopper car. The reporting marks on that old tank car is "W.O.W.", and I have no idea what railroad or shipper that is.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The two ramps on the right lead to the abandoned underground commuter loop. This was to be used with electric commuter cars like the ones used on the Nantasket Beach Branch of the New Haven Railroad. This was center 3rd rail, like Lionel toy trains. Safety complaints and projected expense kept the New Haven from electrifying all Boston commuter traffic like it wanted to. South Station was the 1st terminal in the world to be designed for electric trains, and yet it didn't happen until the 1990's for Amtrak on the upper level. The reason for two ramps is that the one on the right was to be used for all Old Colony RR lines to the South and East, while the ramp to the left was to be used for all Providence, Franklin, Needham, Dedham, and Stoughton lines. From what I read, they tried to use the loop once with a steam engine test train, but almost killed everyone on board due to the total lack of ventilation.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The loop station was used at various times as a parking garage and a bowling alley. It was not fully removed until South Station's reconstruction in the mid-1980's.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Atlantic Street wing of the station (visible at left) was torn down before preservation efforts started. It was rebuilt much wider in the 1980's for a food court. They reopened the same quarries used in the 1890's to get the same color granite. The Summer St. wing was shortened by half for the Stone &amp;amp; Webster tower.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;All of South Station was owned by the Boston Terminal Co., which was jointly owned by the railroads that had their own stations replaced by South Station: Old Colony RR, Boston &amp;amp; Providence RR, Boston &amp;amp; Albany RR, and the New York &amp;amp; New England RR. Each RR owned 20% of the BTCo., plus the New Haven RR which owned the OCRR, NY&amp;amp;NE, and B&amp;amp;P (giving the NHRR 80 percent control).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Today, South Station is at 13 tracks, yet it has more scheduled trains than in 1940. There is serious talk of moving the Post Office out, and expanding the track diagram to 20 tracks.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.helloboston.com/images/buildings2/5302005south_terminal_station_1899.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.helloboston.com/images/buildings2/5302005south_terminal_station_1899.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Below is a picture of the lower level track system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I was talking with a friend of mine yesterday and mentioned them, but he didn't believe it. I replied that I myself didn't either until I saw them myself.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;About 19 years ago I had gone into Boston at the beginning of the re-construction project, they had two full blocks of double high scaffolding blocking off the front and East sides of South Station. Along the inner sides of the scaffolding was a plywood barrier wall to protect pedestrians from falling debris and on that temporary barrier they had posters and historical referances to South Station posted along the path.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;It was very interesting, I think I spent a couple hours looking over all of the material. One particular point of interest was the underground tracks system. Several photos had pictures of trains parked underground on a series of tracks layed out in about a 2 mile radius right under the outer edges of the station and under the surrounding streets.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The note however with this picture of part of them says that they were never even put to use.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.southstation.org/images/sm_ssunder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="288" src="http://www.southstation.org/images/sm_ssunder.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"The lower level loop tracks which were never put into service.&amp;nbsp; The lower level later became an employee parking lot and a bowling alley.&amp;nbsp; This photo taken shortly after South Station was opened."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;b&gt;Link to that page is [&lt;a href="http://www.southstation.org/southst.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ea9999;"&gt;NOTE:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;i&gt;I plan on emailing the station to ask for more access to the reference material that they had posted on the walls back then, because it was really very interesting anyway.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4692643536477093158-1747272556444330917?l=funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/1747272556444330917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/1747272556444330917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2011/07/south-station-boston.html' title='South Station, Boston'/><author><name>FunkingDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14604767314202060422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MOLI8Ra_vkk/Sad2XyJWAEI/AAAAAAAAANk/h4qzB_NmL8k/S220/MyPic.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--1tAOhTWZH0/Thr0aWPPZGI/AAAAAAAABLI/FP9xQUv7wzA/s72-c/SouthStation1920s.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692643536477093158.post-4609499999447367166</id><published>2011-07-08T21:58:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-08T22:51:05.396-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MP3'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Album'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Classic rock'/><title type='text'>Blood on the tracks (1975), full post + bonus</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DnWytm3WJR0/The9ApRpTQI/AAAAAAAABJw/T0q1Ozw5vRE/s1600/Blood-On-The-Tracks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DnWytm3WJR0/The9ApRpTQI/AAAAAAAABJw/T0q1Ozw5vRE/s320/Blood-On-The-Tracks.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;(192 Kbps faf-rip from Top 100 Albums Series)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Blood on the tracks (1975)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Blood on the Tracks is Bob Dylan's 15th studio album, released by Columbia Records in January 1975.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is a cap from the Great Legalization Debates of 2012 Debate, I know the audio's kinda bad and the vid's not that great either. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;That's not even the point. The point is we had it and will continue to have more and this will not go silent.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;For those of you who lead, c'mon and lead. For those of you that follow. Follow now or follow later, but you eventually will follow.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;You might follow whren a parent, loved one or child has cancer and you hear that there was a cure (Yes Marijuana contains Hemp Oil, Hemp Oil can and will cure cancer. But only if you don't get tossed in jail trying to).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;You might join when you find out that the corn based fuel is far to expensive to grow and the chemicals used to grow it are too toxic for our soil and you need more fuel.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Or you just might wait and let the rest of us suckers do all the fighting for you and then it becomes common theme to support it, like so many other times in the past, but you Will Join us in this effort. You will because eventually you'll have to or you'll just do it because it'll be easier than avoiding it any longer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yes, this Debate was important for all of us, all the coming debates will be also and in the future the sound will be better, lighting will be better and some big fat cheese eatin sweaty good for nothing punk will try to sell it to you like it was his idea all along.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;No good waiting, because here it is now. Get on at the beginning anmd join us, to help us bring this Nation back into the role of leadership, of the people, for the people and by the people (&lt;i&gt;like it once was&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="320" src="http://www.4shared.com/embed/665028397/c13c1486" width="420"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;

I noticed that the traits of those born on this day to be determaned, successful and leadership and as you will see next, talented, bold and attractive.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Also born on this day are Actress Ashley Olsen (not my favorite, still remarkable though), Mary-Kate too (cause they are twins I guess), Kasia Kowalska, Polish pop rock singer, Hannah Storm, Malcolm McDowell, Leeann Tweeden, and Kat Dennings.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;June 13th is also noted to as The Day of Feasts by some and mentioned in The Calender of Saints.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;"The calendar of saints is a traditional Christian method of organizing a liturgical year by associating each day with one or more saints and referring to the feast day of said saint. The system arose from the early Christian custom of annual commemoration of martyrs on the dates of their deaths, or birth into heaven, and is thus referred to in Latin as dies natalis ("day of birth")."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Personal note on birthdays:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I have heard birthdays called anniversaries and on some note I guess they are, but that's not how I see them. I see them as being a point of acheivement, like a goal post.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When someone says "Look at Timmy, he's getting so big. He just turned ten today", I wanna throw my piece of cake and party hat at em and yell out "No he didn't ya' dummy. He just finished bein ten ya bugger. That year's all done now an Tim, not Timmy is in his 11th year now".&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I look at the birthday as the celebration of a year completed, a year of being blessed with that person being accomplished and the beginning a new one.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Happy Birthday Kim. Count the ones completed as effort well done and begin this brand new one with faith, hopes, confidence and smiles. Make the most of it and get the most out of it you can&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt; ♥&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #eb13ff;"&gt; ♥&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #d727ff;"&gt;

style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div id="fb_captionbox" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Vodka has been  enjoyed since at least the early Middle Ages, and is well known as one  of the world's most popular spirits. Its versatility in mixing and high  alcohol content have made it extremely popular in cocktails, and it is  still widely enjoyed 'neat' (straight up) in much of Eastern and  Northern Europe.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Vodka also has a long history of use as medicine, having been sold by  druggists to cure everything from infertility to colic and the plague.  While some of those historic promoters were half-cocked, it's true that  vodka has a wide range of potential uses beyond serving as a relaxer and  social lubricant. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why would you want to do anything else with vodka but drink it? It is  widely available, effective and less toxic than many of the chemical  alternatives you might use for these tasks.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;That was from &lt;a href="http://www.thedailygreen.com/"&gt;GoodHousekeeping's "The Daily Green" Go Green section&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href="http://www.thedailygreen.com/green-homes/latest/vodka-uses-460424"&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;MY NOTES:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I have tried the vodka/water solution as a glass cleaner and it works as well as Denatured Alcohol at about 1/5th the price and with less offensive fumes. I have also tried the shampoo mixture and it works excellent. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the field or out on the job I have used it for many things, such as cleaning up metal after handling it during phases of construction, great on countertops for making them look as new as possi\ble, removes paint splatters and bad cut edges. removes glue from seams when gluing formica and it picks up dust better than anything I know, just dampen a rag with the mixture you used to wash windows and go over the surface areas with it quickly.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This could go on forever... Wainscoting.. to clean it and remove small scratches or dull spots on the surface. take a rag and wipe it very quickly with the grain of the wood just once per section. Do not use circular motion and do not hit a spot twice unless it is thoroughly dry. When you do this you will be softening the existing finish and laying it back in again. The results are very close to a fresh new coat of finish, but you must not play with it. Allow any area that you've touched about 15 minutes to harden again before going over it again to prevent blotching (this also works well with older panel doors, trim-work and stairway banisters. I never tried it on furniture and never would, not with the cheap finishes they use in assembly).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;THEIR NOTES: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves the adhesive.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a  trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five  minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean  cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and  kills germs.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting  your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka  disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol  cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth  of healthy hair.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziplock freezer  bag, and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain, or  black eyes.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender  flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the  sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter then apply the  tincture to aches and pains.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;11. Make your own mouthwash by mixing nine tablespoons powered cinnamon  with one cup vodka. Seal in an airtight container for two weeks. Strain  through a coffee filter then mix with warm water and rinse your mouth.  Don’t swallow.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;12. Using a q-tip, apply vodka to a cold sore to help it dry out.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;13. If a blister opens, pour vodka over the raw skin as a local anesthetic that also disinfects the exposed dermis.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;14. To treat dandruff, mix one cup vodka with two teaspoons crushed  rosemary, let sit for two days, strain through a coffee filter and  massage into your scalp and let dry.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;15. To treat an earache put a few drops of vodka in your ear. Let set  for a few minutes. Then drain. The vodka will kill the bacteria that are  causing pain in your ear.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;16. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;17. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;18. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;19. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the poison oil from your skin.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;20. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;21 Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;22 Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the Urushiol oil from your skin.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;23 Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;24 Keep your clothes smelling fresher with vodka — really! Simply spritz  your duds with the stuff, then hang to dry in a well-ventilated area.  (Do a spot-test first to be safe.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;25 Keep freshly cut flowers lasting longer. Add a few drops vodka with a teaspoon of sugar to the water in the vase to keep cut flowers looking healthier and fresher longer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;How to make your own organic mosquito repellent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img align="right" alt="" border="1" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.diylife.com/media/2007/07/mosquito.jpg" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;This section is from &lt;a href="http://www.diylife.com/2007/07/17/how-to-make-your-own-organic-mosquito-repellent/"&gt;DIY Network's page linked here &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;It's been a wet, hot Summer over much of the world, which means the &lt;a href="http://www.diylife.com/search/?q=mosquitoes"&gt;mosquitoes&lt;/a&gt;  are going to be plentiful, hungry, and ticked off. (Little known fact:  all mosquitoes are angry. Always.) So what can we do to protect  ourselves from being attacked by swarms of bitter bugs? The easiest  thing to do, of course, is stay inside; well-sealed windows and doors do  a terrific job keeping out unwanted, blood-sucking guests. However, if  you absolutely MUST go outside, you'll need to be prepared with some  sort of bug repellent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When faced with the proposition of being  blitzed by a battalion of biting bugs, most people make a beeline to  their local store to pick up some OFF Spray, or similar DEET-laden  repellent. Store-bought bug sprays are fine, but &lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="misspell"&gt;some&lt;/span&gt; people have serious skin reactions to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEET" title="DEET"&gt;DEET&lt;/a&gt;,  which if sprayed directly onto plastic can cause it to bubble and warp.  Would you want to put that on your skin? If you're like me, and you  enjoy rolling your own bug-off juice, here's an effective recipe that I  find keeps the mosquitoes away just as well as the name brand stuff.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Materials:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt; 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;1/3 cup witch hazel (or cheap vodka)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;5 drops of citronella or eucalyptus essential oil&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Tools:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt; Spray bottle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Funnel&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Time:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few minutes&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Steps:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, this is pretty tough, so make sure you follow along closely. I don't want you getting confused.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt; Using the funnel, pour all the liquid ingredients into the spray bottle.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shake the bottle to mix the liquids.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;b&gt; Tada! You're now holding a bottle of effective, organic bug repellent.  You can also spray your DIY repellent around areas that you'd rather not  have bugs, such as the picnic table or your dog's head. Unlike the  store-bought sprays, this stuff isn't water-proof (or sweat-proof, for  that matter), so you'll need to reapply as necessary. Unfortunately, it  won't keep ticks at bay, so you might have to use the DEET version if  you're going to be traipsing into the deep woods. However, if you're  just looking for a little extra protection during your next barbecue,  this might be right up your alley.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;One of the sources, (&lt;a href="http://www.miss-charming.com/bartender/vodka.htm"&gt;Miss Charming’s Vodka Page&lt;/a&gt;), others listed above and some from email.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4692643536477093158-4823834990874933180?l=funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/4823834990874933180'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/4823834990874933180'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2011/06/repel-or-kill-insects-many-other-uses.html' title='Repel or kill insects, many other uses for vodka, theirs and mine'/><author><name>FunkingDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14604767314202060422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MOLI8Ra_vkk/Sad2XyJWAEI/AAAAAAAAANk/h4qzB_NmL8k/S220/MyPic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692643536477093158.post-8169365285029384321</id><published>2011-06-06T14:08:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-06-06T14:14:32.299-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music vid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Classic rock'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concert'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='assholes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Artist'/><title type='text'>[Full Film  Post] The Doors - The Soft Parade</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div style="color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Doors&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Soft Parade (1991)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: cyan;"&gt;"Info posted below the film, enjoy..." &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DeOHJIVFSHU/Te0fLWkzsbI/AAAAAAAABBo/CIZs5dC_0Wo/s1600/Ssoft_parade_film.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DeOHJIVFSHU/Te0fLWkzsbI/AAAAAAAABBo/CIZs5dC_0Wo/s320/Ssoft_parade_film.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="320" src="http://www.4shared.com/embed/627866154/1ddd9213" width="420"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;This film is in HQ flv [&lt;a href="http://www.4shared.com/video/9WWF3oHK/The_Doors_-_The_Soft_Parade_19.html"&gt;download it here&lt;/a&gt;], but if you want Divx avi or mpeg version &lt;a href="mailto:FunkingDave@gmail.com"&gt;send me email requesting it &lt;/a&gt;and I'll send it to you for free. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This film was made using input from all the band members.

Most often it is through that little self loving, yet useless wannabe that we first hear of a band , and they do it at a high cost. They lie, exaggerate, over emphasize, slander and those sluts make a damn good living doing it. Which by the way is their version of "doin it" is expressing opinions on things and people they basically know nothing about.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do I sound pissed? Damn right I am. I turned my American Radio off almost 20 years ago just to keep myself from killin some of the punks.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anyway, with that off my chest I hope you watched the film and in doing so I hope you noticed that they worked hard to make that music and deserve full credit for every bit of effort in doing so.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;IMDB says this about the film, on this page [&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195660/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;] too...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XAXm94cDIug/Te0kKqi2MWI/AAAAAAAABBw/-yUFxRtsJEQ/s1600/softparade2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XAXm94cDIug/Te0kKqi2MWI/AAAAAAAABBw/-yUFxRtsJEQ/s1600/softparade2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;User rating: Ten stars out of 10 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"This documentary is so awesome because it does so very well at showcasing Jim Morrison and his legendary band The Doors at their absolute best with their last televised performance in 1969.  It also has an excellent, fun look into their private archives as well as very interesting and insightful interviews.  It is in this documentary that you get an awesome look at The Doors as entertainers and as real people.

This property also explains why water                      pipes will burst when they freeze - something opposite of                      nearly every other simple substance. Mercury thermometers,                      for instance, do not explode when the temperature drops below                      the freezing point of mercury.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt; The temperatures                      at which water boils and freezes are both higher than other                      molecules of similar size.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water has a large                      heat capacity; it can take in a lot of heat without its temperature                      increasing very much. This makes it an especially good coolant                      for a car radiator, and it's the main reason temperatures                      are moderate for coastal communities - as the ocean is slow                      to cool down or warm up.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt; The high surface tension                      of water - its tendency to fight being pulled apart - explains                      why it forms droplets and why it climbs up the sides of a                      straw. It may also play a part in how the &lt;a href="http://www.livescience.com/62-walking-water-insect-secret-revealed.html"&gt;water                      strider&lt;/a&gt; walks on water.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;The solid form of water -- ice -- floats instead of sinking, as with most substances.    Water stores heat very well. And its high surface tension shows how its molecules    hate coming apart. Understanding the peculiarities of water requires detailed    study of its molecular interactions. "We think we understand everything there is about a single water molecule,"    Saykally said. "What we don't understand so well is how they interact with    each other."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A single molecule of water looks like a letter V, with one oxygen atom at the    bottom point and two hydrogen atoms at the top. These atoms share some of their    negatively charged electrons, forming a strong connection called a covalent    bond.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The oxygen atom grabs more of the shared electrons, which makes it slightly    negative, leaving the hydrogen ends slightly positive. This small shift in charge    is what attracts water molecules to each other.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Saykally describes each water molecule as having hands and feet. The hands    are the positively charged hydrogen atoms, while the feet dangle off the negative    side of the oxygen. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Hands can't grab hands and feet can't grab feet," Saykally said,    but hands can latch onto feet, in what is called a hydrogen bond. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hydrogen bonds are 10 times weaker than covalent bonds, but they are the key    to water's mysteries.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I only posted a tiny portion of that page. Go [&lt;a href="http://www.livescience.com/3724-mystery-water.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;] and read some more, you'll be impressed.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"&gt;Science &amp;amp; Technology,s View&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.llnl.gov/str/October05/gifs/Mundyopen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="179" src="https://www.llnl.gov/str/October05/gifs/Mundyopen.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;[This is from the &lt;a href="https://www.llnl.gov/str/October05/Mundy.html"&gt;October 5th 2005 Science &amp;amp; Technology article on water&lt;/a&gt;.]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990033;"&gt;WATER&lt;/span&gt;    would seem to be relatively easy  for scientists to understand. It is the only natural substance on Earth  that is found as a gas, liquid, and solid. It covers 70 percent of  Earth’s surface, makes up 60 percent of the human body, and constitutes  90 percent of a person’s blood.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img height="8" hspace="8" src="https://www.llnl.gov/str/October05/gifs/dot_clear.gif" width="8" /&gt;However,  the water molecule is far from simple. Given its low molecular weight,  water at ambient conditions should be a gas instead of a liquid. Its  boiling point is nearly 200°C higher than expected compared with  similar-size molecules. And, unlike most substances, when ice melts, the  water molecules pack more closely together than they do when frozen,  which is why ice cubes float. In addition to its familiar liquid phase,  water has at least 3&amp;nbsp;other liquidlike phases and up to 14 solid phases.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img height="8" hspace="8" src="https://www.llnl.gov/str/October05/gifs/dot_clear.gif" width="8" /&gt;Water’s  unusual properties have unexpected effects on the thermodynamic  behavior of its phases. For example, temperature and pressure affect the  molecules differently when water approaches its boiling point than when  it is close to freezing. Heating already hot water increases its  isothermal compressibility and heat capacity and reduces its density,  but heating cold water has the opposite effect. Also, applying pressure  reduces the mobility of the molecules in hot water but increases their  mobility in cold water. Ice melts when slight pressure is applied, but  under high pressure, liquid freezes.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img height="8" hspace="8" src="https://www.llnl.gov/str/October05/gifs/dot_clear.gif" width="8" /&gt;Understanding  water is important to a range of research areas from geosciences to  biological systems to astrophysics. But explaining the anomalous  properties of this mysterious molecule has challenged both theorists and  experimentalists. Scientists began to simulate liquid water almost  40&amp;nbsp;years ago. Yet, they continue to pursue more accurate models so they  can better analyze this surprisingly complex molecule. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img height="8" hspace="8" src="https://www.llnl.gov/str/October05/gifs/dot_clear.gif" width="8" /&gt;The  revolution in supercomputing has been a boon to such research. To  simulate even a few hundred atoms requires supercomputing capabilities,  such as those available with Livermore’s unclassified supercomputer,  Thunder. Funded by the Laboratory’s Multiprogrammatic and Institutional  Computing Initiative, Thunder can process 23 trillion operations per  second. In June 2005, it ranked seventh on the Top500 List, the leading  industry authority for high-performance computing. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img height="8" hspace="8" src="https://www.llnl.gov/str/October05/gifs/dot_clear.gif" width="8" /&gt;By  designing algorithms to exploit Thunder’s capabilities, a team of  Livermore researchers, led by chemist Christopher Mundy, has made  important contributions to the study of water and its properties. With  funding from the Laboratory Directed Research and Development Program,  Mundy’s team examined the behavior of water at the molecular level under  changing conditions. The team’s models reproduced the bulk properties  of liquid water. With this improved capability, researchers can better  understand the many phases of water and predict the behavior of more  complex molecular fluids.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f6b26b;"&gt;(Great Film, Huh?)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4692643536477093158-8015494126360288776?l=funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/8015494126360288776'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/8015494126360288776'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2011/06/amzing-secrets-of-water-still-unknown.html' title='The Amzing Secrets of Water (Still Unknown, but looked at) Full Film'/><author><name>FunkingDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14604767314202060422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MOLI8Ra_vkk/Sad2XyJWAEI/AAAAAAAAANk/h4qzB_NmL8k/S220/MyPic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692643536477093158.post-6619093724826018767</id><published>2011-06-03T15:47:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-06-03T15:52:28.028-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Drugs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DIY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hemp'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Educational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tech tip'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cooking'/><title type='text'>Hemp Oil &amp; Foods, with Augustine &amp;  Wirtshafter (Complete Film)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lHJQXENPMG4/TelGjpnmKgI/AAAAAAAABBA/aNkm5OLNKjc/s1600/NUT-10010-0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lHJQXENPMG4/TelGjpnmKgI/AAAAAAAABBA/aNkm5OLNKjc/s1600/NUT-10010-0.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="medium bold" id="video-title" style="color: lime; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Hemp Oil &amp;amp; Foods, with Augustine &amp;amp;&amp;nbsp; Wirtshafter  (Complete Film)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="video-duration-date"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="gray" id="video-duration"&gt;47:53&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;span class="gray" id="video-date"&gt;4 years ago&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span id="video-description" style="display: block;"&gt;Dietician Mary Beth  Augustine,R.D. compares nutritional characteristics of Cannabis Hemp  seed oil, rich in EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids)necessary to a healthy  diet, with other healthy plant oils.

I chose this section because it was the first I read when glancing through the book and I figured that it was as good as any to share.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First though, a little on the Author. The first part is a quote from the back cover:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;"&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Thomas Ayres&lt;/span&gt;, a veteran investigative reporter and award-winning columnist has written for The Dallas Times' quarterly publication Columbiad, and many other publications. He lives in Jonesboro, Lousiana"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My opinion of him is that he's a very witty and talented writer. This book is well worth the purchasing price and it is one of the few books that I would replace if ever lost or damaged just to have a copy laying around to share some good readin with friends as they stop by.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TsPGVrTKROY/TeRynRatNTI/AAAAAAAAA_0/JP9kvKpEAJA/s1600/scan0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TsPGVrTKROY/TeRynRatNTI/AAAAAAAAA_0/JP9kvKpEAJA/s320/scan0002.jpg" width="195" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Dishonorable Opponent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(from page 103)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9oZqv3Zrvws/TeRv3TMxDPI/AAAAAAAAA_w/5jY9MWs0iVQ/s1600/img1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9oZqv3Zrvws/TeRv3TMxDPI/AAAAAAAAA_w/5jY9MWs0iVQ/s1600/img1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Politics and political mudslinging have been  around almost from the day  prehistoric man dis­ covered mud. However, over the past two cen­turies American politicians have managed to re­fine the art-sometimes elevating it to creative heights, but more often dragging it to bottomless lows.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In the creative category, one of the strangest campaigns ever waged was  the one by George Smathers against Claude Pepper for the U.S. Senate in  Florida in 1950. In his campaign speeches, Smathers began referring to  Pepper as "a known extrovert." He spat out the words with such  disdain, many in his audiences as­sumed the worst of Pepper. While  Pepper was trying to figure out how&lt;span class="F200" style="font-size: 7pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to  respond, Smathers revealed that his opponent's sister was "a  thespian." He then accused Pepper's brother of being "a practicing  homo sapiens." He charged that while attending college, Pepper  "matriculated on campus," and that he "engaged in celibacy" before he  was married.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Smathers won the election.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; If that was the high point of political creativity, the low had to take place in Louisiana in &lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;"&gt;1932, &lt;/span&gt;when  Earl Long called a political enemy "A big-bellied, lily-livered liar  and the crookedest man who ever lived." The reference was to his  brother, Huey Long. On an­other occasion, Earl became so enraged at his  brother he called him a son of a bitch before fully analyzing the  implication.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A favorite Earl Long tactic was to follow an opponent around and  inspire impromptu debate by heckling from the audience. Not only did  it save money, it allowed Earl to control the agenda for dis­cussion.  However, on one occasion the practice backfired. Huey, then seeking  election as a U.S. senator, was telling a large crowd what he had done  for the people of Louisiana when Earl's shrill 'Dice came from the  crowd.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I know one person you ain't done nothin' for-your brother!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(103) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;LOL, That my friend is Dayum Good readin stuff an I rest my case!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4692643536477093158-6959878187695018543?l=funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/6959878187695018543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/6959878187695018543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2011/05/thats-not-in-my-american-history-book.html' title='That&apos;s Not in my American History Book - Thomas Ayres (Review)'/><author><name>FunkingDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14604767314202060422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MOLI8Ra_vkk/Sad2XyJWAEI/AAAAAAAAANk/h4qzB_NmL8k/S220/MyPic.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TsPGVrTKROY/TeRynRatNTI/AAAAAAAAA_0/JP9kvKpEAJA/s72-c/scan0002.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692643536477093158.post-7292764213738379970</id><published>2011-05-30T02:19:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-05-30T03:08:22.910-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='info'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Interesting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>Run from the cure - The Rick Simpson Story [Full Movie]</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rick Simpson says that contained in the resin of the hemp plant's buds in a natural cure for many different ailments.

Uncommon but honest logic even further supports it.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The other day a friend quoted a phrase from the Bible. I'm not sure which one exactly and I don't even care. This is not for argument anyway, so it needs no support from me. This verse though I remember as not being the instruction or paraphrase from one of the authors of the Bible, but instead it was a quote of the words spoken by God himself. it was&amp;nbsp; 'And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the  face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed:  they will be for your food:'.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pick that apart and argue the word "food" all you want to, but do not forget the meaning of the earlier portion of the phrase "I have given". The term "I" represents authority over "have" is past tense, this confirms the action already taken, "given" is the action.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Just those three words were enough to prove ownership of every seed bearing plant or fruit to every man. No man or agency or agent of any government has the authority to take from any man what was given to him by God, the God who governs all and above all!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;No, that was not preaching. You sing out your poem pledging allegiance to The United States of America would be preaching... &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Preach: To urge acceptance or abandonment of an idea or course or action "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under &lt;u&gt;God&lt;/u&gt;"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;That is to preach acceptance to a nation under &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;God! &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My topic was the law that this nation swears it lives by, nothing more than that&lt;i&gt; (The fact that I Love God has no bearing in this issue, God is above this issue completely.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here is the film, please give it a chance and enjoy,,,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Run from the cure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;(The Rick Simpson Story)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="340" src="http://www.4shared.com/embed/613711047/386ced53" width="420"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.4shared.com/video/AK25rmv7/Run_From_The_Cure_The_Rick_Sim.html"&gt;Download it here in HQ FLV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Or &lt;a href="mailto:FunkingDave@gmail.com"&gt;email me&lt;/a&gt; for other formats, for free.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join our Facebook group "&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_145067538878622&amp;amp;ap=1"&gt;Hemp as an Alternative&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;NOTE:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;Not bragging, just something more here.

&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_rock" title="Progressive rock"&gt;progressive rock&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_ensemble" title="Musical ensemble"&gt;band&lt;/a&gt;, active between 1975 and 1990, consisting of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Woolfson" title="Eric Woolfson"&gt;Eric Woolfson&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Parsons" title="Alan Parsons"&gt;Alan Parsons&lt;/a&gt; surrounded by a varying number of session musicians.&lt;br /&gt;Behind the revolving lineup and the regular sidemen, the true core of  the Project was the duo of Parsons and Woolfson. Woolfson was a lawyer  by profession, but also a composer and pianist. Parsons was a successful  producer and accomplished engineer. Almost all songs on the band's  albums are credited to "Woolfson/Parsons".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was from Wiki's page [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alan_Parsons_Project"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They and it seems everyone lists the Album I Robot as being released in 1977. I know damn well that my copy was from mid summer 1975.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had been hit by a car in the last week of April of that year hitchhiking down in Florida and it crushed my leg, leaving me in a full cast, also leaving me trapped and forced to go home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was an awesome year for me, but sometimes it was frustrating and overwhelming. I heard this album and at first thought "Well this has gotta suck!", but as I listened more to it I began to relate with the breakdown, losing my thread, no-one understands the words that I say and then the best part.. "I don't care what you do, I wouldn't want to be like you". Now this album had become an icon for me. It was my own freakin revolution and I loved it and I still didn't want to talk to you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I honestly feel that this album is timeless. It will always have a message for those trapped in frustration along down the road and that it belongs up there on the top shelf along with all the other greatest works in the art archives labeled "Finest Music"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I usually post these little players with the settings of 325 X 20 pixels, because it just looks cleaner that way to me, the 20 pixels is roughly the space required to show only the top edging border and the lower tool bar section. In between though there is the area I almost never show and in that field there is a visualization that's actually pretty good. It goes with the music and it's got a few transitions, but mostly it's similar to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_O%27Meara" title="Andy O'Meara"&gt;Andy O'Meara's&lt;/a&gt; early version of &lt;a href="http://www.soundspectrum.com/"&gt;G-Force&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;[&lt;a href="http://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force/download.html?src=home"&gt;download the newest trial version here&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Anyway, I sized these 325 X 325 to allow for the effects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ea9999;"&gt;Sista Lea, yer gonna love this one too...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Title: &lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;I Robot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: cyan;

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;The roots of Them, the band that first broke Morrison on the  international scene, came in April 1964 when Morrison responded to an  advert for musicians to play at a new &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_and_blues" title="Rhythm and blues"&gt;R&amp;amp;B&lt;/a&gt; club at the Maritime Hotel – an old dance hall frequented by sailors.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-41"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;The new R&amp;amp;B club needed a band for its opening night; however,  Morrison had left the Golden Eagles (the group with which he had been  performing at the time), so he created a new band out of The Gamblers,  an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belfast_East_%28UK_Parliament_constituency%29" title="Belfast East (UK Parliament constituency)"&gt;East Belfast&lt;/a&gt; group formed by Ronnie Millings, Billy Harrison, and Alan Henderson in 1962.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-The_rough_guide_42-0"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-The_Belfast_Blues_43-0"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Eric Wrixon, still a schoolboy, was the piano player and keyboardist.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-44"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Morrison#cite_note-44"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;  Morrison played saxophone and harmonica and shared vocals with Billy  Harrison. They followed Eric Wrixon's suggestion for a new name, and The  Gamblers morphed into &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Them_%28band%29" title="Them (band)"&gt;Them&lt;/a&gt;, their name taken from the Fifties horror movie &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Them%21"&gt;Them!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The band's strong R&amp;amp;B performances at the Maritime attracted attention. Them performed without a routine and Morrison &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_lib" title="Ad lib"&gt;ad libbed&lt;/a&gt;, creating his songs live as he performed.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-HintonPage40_46-0"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;  While the band did covers, they also played some of Morrison's early  songs, such as "Could You Would You", which he had written in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camden_Town"&gt;Camden Town&lt;/a&gt; while touring with The Manhattan Showband.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-47"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;  The debut of Morrison's "Gloria" took place on stage here. Sometimes,  depending on his mood, the song could last up to twenty minutes.  Morrison has stated that "Them lived and died on the stage at the  Maritime Hotel," believing that the band did not manage to capture the  spontaneity and energy of their live performances on their records.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TurnerPage44_48-0"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;  The statement also reflected the instability of the Them lineup, with  numerous members passing through the ranks after the definitive Maritime  period. Morrison and Henderson would remain the only constants, and a  highly unsuccessful version of Them even soldiered on after Morrison's  departure. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Rowe"&gt;Dick Rowe&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decca_Records"&gt;Decca Records&lt;/a&gt;  became aware of the band's performances, and signed Them to a standard  two-year contract. In that period, they released two albums and ten  singles, with two more singles released after Morrison departed the  band. They had three &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_chart" title="Record chart"&gt;chart&lt;/a&gt; hits, "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby,_Please_Don%27t_Go"&gt;Baby, Please Don't Go&lt;/a&gt;" (1964), "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Comes_the_Night_%28Them_song%29" title="Here Comes the Night (Them song)"&gt;Here Comes the Night&lt;/a&gt;" (1965), and "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystic_Eyes"&gt;Mystic Eyes&lt;/a&gt;" (1965),&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-50"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; though it was the b-side of "Baby, Please Don't Go", the &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage_band" title="Garage band"&gt;garage band&lt;/a&gt; classic, "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_%28Them_song%29" title="Gloria (Them song)"&gt;Gloria&lt;/a&gt;",&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TurnerPage48-51_51-0"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; that went on to become a rock standard covered by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patti_Smith"&gt;Patti Smith&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doors"&gt;The Doors&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadows_of_Knight"&gt;Shadows of Knight&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimi_Hendrix"&gt;Jimi Hendrix&lt;/a&gt; and others.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Building on the success of their singles in the United States, and riding on the back of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Invasion"&gt;British Invasion&lt;/a&gt;, Them undertook a two month tour of America in May and June 1966 that included a residency from 30 May to 18 June at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_a_Go_Go"&gt;Whisky a Go Go&lt;/a&gt; in Los Angeles.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TurnerPage65_54-0"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doors"&gt;The Doors&lt;/a&gt; were the supporting act on the last week,&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-55"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;and Morrison's influence on The Doors singer, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Morrison"&gt;Jim Morrison&lt;/a&gt;, was noted by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Densmore"&gt;John Densmore&lt;/a&gt; in his book &lt;i&gt;Riders On The Storm&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Hinton"&gt;Brian Hinton&lt;/a&gt;  relates how "Jim Morrison learned quickly from his near namesake's  stagecraft, his apparent recklessness, his air of subdued menace, the  way he would improvise poetry to a rock beat, even his habit of  crouching down by the bass drum during instrumental breaks."&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-HintonPage67_56-0"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; On the final night, the two Morrisons and the two bands jammed together on "Gloria".&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Toward the end of the tour the band members became involved in a dispute  with their manager, Decca Records' Phil Solomon, over the revenues paid  to the band; that, coupled with the expiry of their work visas, meant  the band returned from America dejected. After two more concerts in  Ireland, Them split up. Morrison concentrated on writing some of the  songs that would appear on &lt;i&gt;Astral Weeks&lt;/i&gt;, while the remnants of the band reformed in 1967 and relocated in America.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br

style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Storyline;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;"This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind. As stream-of-consciousness images incessantly flow forth from the tip of his pen, biting social satire is revealed, often along with a disturbing and haunting vision of Crumb's own betes noires and inadequacies. As his acid-trip induced images flicker across our own retinas, we gain a little insight into this complex and highly creative individual.

Puppert&lt;/a&gt; is a very intelligent and straight forward speaking with an almost flawless ability to&amp;nbsp; share information in a way that's easy to understand and follow, without overloading it with all the hyped up drama that so many others resort to to mask over the holes and blanks and still keep your attention focused on them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can't keep talking on and on about the subject because the film covers it all anyway.

"I  didn't like anything about it. I was  supposed to be working for these  mothers to help them get their  children back, but I was being told to  work against them. I worked with a  case plan supervisor who wasn't  familiar with cases, but would tell me  what to put in it. But the last  straw was when I was told I would have  to lie on the stand."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Now  Stewart is working with a mother who is  locked in a battle with the  Nebraska Health and Human Service  Department to get her children back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;May  Lynn Branson, a mother  of two children ages 8 and 9, is locked in a  dispute to determine if a  foster mother in Broken Bow should get  guardianship of Branson's  children - a decision that could determine if  Branson is allowed to see  her children in the future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  Branson is supposed to have nightly telephone calls to her children,   but phone records indicate the calls are completed only about six times   per month. Branson said she is told by the foster mother that she has   cell phone issues in her area, yet a check with the phone company   indicates full coverage where the foster mom lives. The cell phone   company states that no such issues should exist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;When  the calls  do go through, the foster mother listens on speakerphone. In  one  recorded conversation, Branson is heard to ask, "You have me on   speakerphone again?" at which time the foster mother's voice rings out,   "If you don't like, we can cut you off."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Child  Protective  Services came into Branson's life after a bruise was  spotted on one of  the children's legs at school. Investigators showed  up at her doorstep  and Branson, who has a mental disability, agreed to  cooperate with  requests to temporarily hand over her children.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Stewart said this is a standard practice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;"That's   where they get you," said Stewart. "That's their tactics. They are  told  to tell parents like May Lynn that if they cooperate, things will  go  better, if not they will file criminal charges. Most people would be   afraid at that point and the voluntary cooperation sounds easier, but  in  fact, it's better if you force them to pursue criminal actions. That   way, they at least have to prove what they are saying. Otherwise, they   can do what they want."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Workers trained to pressure parents, says whistleblower&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  Stewart said as part of her initial training, she was told, "Parents   don't know their rights and you should take advantage of that by   walking all over them," she said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The  Telegraph contacted the  Health and Human Services Communications and  Legislative Services  Director Kathie Osterman for a response to  Branson's case. Osterman was  provided with these same details and after  saying HHS would respond to  what they could, did not meet a one-week  deadline to provide a response.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Like   Brandi Knutson's case (detailed in Saturday's story on the front page   of the Telegraph), Branson was given a case plan to follow, but each   time the goals of the case plan were met, the goals were changed,   according to copies of the case plans. Branson has dealt with 10   different caseworkers over the last several months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The children too have had a lack of stability, living with different foster families in different cities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The   final case plan written by Branson's current caseworker in December   states, "Fair progress is being made to alleviate the causes of   out-of-home placement."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Yet in the next paragraph, the caseworker recommends adoption.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Branson   admits she needs to improve her living conditions. She said she is   making progress with Stewart's help. She wants an opportunity to reunite   with her daughters and fears a decision that could take them from her   life until they turn 18.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Stewart  has offered to become a guardian  for the children and wants Branson to  live with her and her husband.  Branson's outcome will be determined by  the court, but whether she has  custody or not is the issue for  Stewart, who said Branson certainly  hasn't done anything to lose a  relationship with her children.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;"I've   known these kids and May Lynn for a long time," said Stewart. "I have a   relationship with all of them. She doesn't deserve to not have a   relationship with her children. This has to stop. She hasn't done   anything to deserve to have those ties to her children broken."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;NOTES:&lt;/b&gt; All of the above was copied from The &lt;a _mce_href="http://www.lexch.com/" href="http://www.lexch.com/"&gt;Lexington Clipper Herald&lt;/a&gt; article posted [&lt;a _mce_href="http://www.lexch.com/articles/2011/02/16/news/regional/doc4d595dd79c785444644299.txt" href="http://www.lexch.com/articles/2011/02/16/news/regional/doc4d595dd79c785444644299.txt"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;] from a link on Yahoo News, which I found &lt;a _mce_href="http://www.lexch.com/articles/2011/02/16/news/regional/doc4d595dd79c785444644299.txt" href="http://www.lexch.com/articles/2011/02/16/news/regional/doc4d595dd79c785444644299.txt"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;I  am sharing this article by posting it unaltered based on that   permission to share is&amp;nbsp; presumed because of the 9 buttons provided on   the page and the 1 email link offering even easier methods to share it   with.

I actually would have preferred that the situation had never come to the point that the D.H.H.S. or our local government or our legal system would feel the need to deceive us or manipulate our families using our children and with slander and with lies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure that there was no great grandfather who planed for things to come to this by starting a political policy agenda generations ago. I am saying though that it has come to this and it did start generations ago. Part of the evolution process of any society is the ability to separate from the wrongs within it, to address that that needs to be dealt with as no longer working or as has been abused to the point that it now is causing us harm. I am very sure that the&amp;nbsp; core of the regulations began with noble intentions and that at the time they were a step in the right direction towards helping families find help, but then came the feeding frenzy. What was once good and designed to provide for those in actual need of was now being used by those with no need for it and those people sought ways to bring those policies further toward their desires to the point that they had begun now to use that safety net designed to help those in need instead into a trap that they now had full control of and now through their molestation of the process it has become a burden to all, including them. That is why I believe that they now feel that they must defend their tactics and usage of these policies with lies and corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not happy over have seen any aspect of this because to me and in my head this too is a weight. I have the impulse to look away and ignore all of the traps and scandals, but I also have the God given responsibilities to educate the next generation in the best way available to me. In attempting to do so I am not allowed to simply look away, odd thing too is I am also not allowed to fight it. Any capitulation or involvement in these affairs would make me a willing partner to it in one form or another and guilt is non-proportional, there is no slightly gray area. If you have been a part of something, you yourself have chosen to become a part of a whole, in doing that you share the guilt of every other consenting partner to it. All I can do is teach from it, use the reflection of it as an example of it's function and the cause of it's outcome, with the hope that someone will be less inclined to play a future part in this kind of B.S. later on and eventually the situation will become exposed enough to the point that those who listened and learned will now have a say in a new beginning and an end to the old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I was rambling, that's just me I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I have been sharing on this subject for about 6 years now in specific to The State of Nebraska, call it 32+ years if you want to include other related area's like The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I began my challenges with the birth of my son &lt;a href="http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-son-and-something-else.html"&gt;David King Rice&lt;/a&gt; around and about the year 1979 in a court battle seeking only visitation privileges with him, but through the lies and manipulations of the legal system and Department of Welfare System in Massachusetts I had to learn how to fight back against the Probate Court and the Social Workers and found no help in doing so. After being threatened with jail and other methods of discouragements I continued to fight to see my son and in the end I won full custody of him from both the Welfare System and his mother. The results of this were that I was the very first father to gain custody of a child out of wedlock in that state and following that court case tens of thousands of other fathers followed suit and based on my results received parental sharing rights that before my case were not even considered an option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason I shared that with you is not as you would think it was intended. I also wanted to point out that during this whole process I was offered to join up with the already pending legal proceedings and work with them within that system of functioning reasonment. I opted out of that 100%, I told them that I would have no part in their priorly influenced actions, that this was my action to and not my reaction to anything they had already initiated. Still they offered and asked and pleaded, even to the point that they offered me a winning side of their situation. I laughed and told them to keep their stuff, because they owned it. After saying that I proved it too and that is how I think things need to be done. Meeting anything half way is also accepting half of the responsibilities for the situation. Accept None, unless you want to yourself become one within it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For 6 years here in Nebraska I have shared a few things on here about the D.H.H.S. and policies.

I'm actually not so sure of her name but the terms "&lt;i&gt;Me, Me, Me...&lt;/i&gt;" and "&lt;i&gt;Oh Me-me, pick Me. Me...&lt;/i&gt;" are used so commonly in everything out here, that I do think they have already gone so far past the point of expression that they are now more similar to phrases of worship.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;MeMe is in there for that reason, next is the puppet and the depth. I tried to create the illusion of layers and depth and that's where the puppet relates. he looks forward (in his own eyes) towards MeMe, but actually, she's in the depths herself.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The several variations are because I still couldn't get this to bring out my expressed desires for it. I wanted everything to go deep into darkness, but I'm not that good yet. I might try it with oil if I can ever scrounge up the money for a new set.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The other picture is the King of Nebraska, the NebrasCow. He's the male gender form of MeMe, and he has his puppets too. The one to the left and behind him is his thoughtless, vague form of a henchman. Watching and listening, not even to what he hears but to watch the audiences reaction to what's being said. His other objective is to make sure the audience feels intimidated enough to if not agree and applaud to at least dare not to object openly on any of the matters presented.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why would I be thinking this way?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Long story but here's part of it.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My son just won some major achievement awards and even though that should be only a time of honor and satisfaction. It wasn't taken that way by me. Other things came up in my mind, like the the pathway that he had to travel to get to this point and I am not so glad about those aspects of it.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I'll start out quick and try to remain quick about it, still some framework is needed here.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Out of respect for my son Only, no names will be used used in this,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My son was home schooled just about all of his life back in New England. As I began to get seriously ill I decided to move out here mostly because I thought they needed decent and honest schools to attend (I refused to allow them to go in New England over the racial issues, gangs and drugs). Upon entering school here he skipped either one or two grade levels, the differences between the two would be based on which two school districts you were comparing against out of four or\sixteen different combination scenarios. When he entered he had no experience in the school settings or the social aspects of it. He excelled anyway and in his first semester he began to climb very quickly up in the academics portion of his school work. In many ways he was well above those he attended classes with, if not all of them.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;He worked hard and should have graduated with honors, everyone thought he had and that includes the schools own staff members, but that was stolen from him. My way of looking at it though is that Nebraska Sold Out, or a part of Nebraska was sold in that effort.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Talking with my sister the other night I mentioned that to her and we both agreed that it was more than a little cheap-assed punk for them to steal even points from a student, but when you live that way then that way is part of your living. The conversation with her on that topic ended with "Well now he did it even though they ripped him off and the funny thing is they settled too low on this one. They shoulda milked him some more because winnin a little start-up race for next to nothin is nothing like hittin the trifecta. They shoulda kept that bettin winda open for the real stuff...". Then we both agreed that they had done some good after all, they lost pride, he gained pride. They also taught him a little more about themselves and in doing so they have have shown him how good it really can feel not to be anything like them...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;That can was opened up and another one. My daughter also moved out here and she was just turned seven years old. She had never in her life been out of the house much and had no experience with being ripped off, taken advantage of or socially abused either, but stupid me put her in that school we call "Society" out here.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Her first real taste of it was at church. At church they had a Soap-Box Derby race and the whole town was planning on going, so we talked her into participating. She used her big brothers car after prepping it and cleaning it up and she won. She did win but they would have no part of that. They made her race again later and she won again in the finalists round. Still she was not allowed to win against a "local", so they made her try again and she won again! Still the best they would allow her was a lie at tying at first place. Which, come to find out is actually less than not racing at all. Because as it stands now still is her participation in the (so-called) event is completed disregarded.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;End of the topic is I don't care much for winning a battle with idiots or losing one. I sometimes think that those morons that go back to a battle field for any reason after the fightin is done have their own special version of a mental disorder.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am glad my son succeeded, but I always knew he would. I'm glad he did it without them, even though they stole from him, but I wish he never had needed to be involved with them like that in the first place.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #ffd966;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last note, every time I look at Nebraska that depth grows deeper, the darkness surrounding it more dark and the puppets more and more like each-other...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4692643536477093158-1947656214603314271?l=funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/1947656214603314271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4692643536477093158/posts/default/1947656214603314271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkingdavesrealm.blogspot.com/2011/02/nebraskas-for-sale-again.html' title='Nebraska&apos;s for sale again!'/><author><name>FunkingDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14604767314202060422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MOLI8Ra_vkk/Sad2XyJWAEI/AAAAAAAAANk/h4qzB_NmL8k/S220/MyPic.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UCPQelwMs20/TVmO-d-wrnI/AAAAAAAAA7A/YFoDodoAGvE/s72-c/Almost%2BHomedrk.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692643536477093158.post-1755450884605860447</id><published>2011-02-10T03:03:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-02-10T03:03:45.331-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music vid Link'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music vid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Classic rock'/><title type='text'>Glee cast version of Find me Somebody to Love for Lovely Angela....</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;I pulled this post due to a complaint.&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy Bowie on YouTube instead&lt;br /&gt;

applications/,&amp;nbsp; there is only one draw-back that needs mentioning. It does come with browser extension addon's. you can deselect the activation of them during the installation process for the initial install but during actual use of the various components it may prompt you to allow them to be installed onto your browsers interface. I don't think I did anything except deny or opt-out a few times and even that has stopped popping up for me now, as it used to when closing out of a prog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2 class="l" style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Next is that some of the configuration has not been completed yet, but it does still look promising. The DVD burning application will still only copy previously formatted content to DVD, but you still need to use other software to create the VIDEO_TS and VOB files to actually make the DVD a DVD Player Formatted disc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2 class="l" style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The 3-D imaging still needs some work done on it and probably a few more applications still need a few wrinkles ironed out of them. Still as-is even now it's a very good program&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2 class="l" style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;All of the above was copied from [&lt;a href="http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/free-dvd-video-software.htm"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;], except my notes.

is an &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_signal" title="Analog signal"&gt;analog&lt;/a&gt; video transmission scheme, in which video information is encoded on two channels: &lt;i&gt;luma&lt;/i&gt; (luminance, intensity) and &lt;i&gt;chroma&lt;/i&gt; (color). This is in contrast with lower-quality &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_video" title="Composite video"&gt;composite video&lt;/a&gt;, in which video information is encoded on one channel, and higher-quality &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video" title="Component video"&gt;component video&lt;/a&gt;, in which video information is encoded on three channels. S-Video carries &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_definition" title="Standard definition"&gt;standard definition&lt;/a&gt; video (typically at &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/480i" title="480i"&gt;480i&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/576i" title="576i"&gt;576i&lt;/a&gt; resolution), but does not carry audio on the same cable.&lt;br /&gt;The 4-pin &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DIN_connector" title="Mini-DIN connector"&gt;mini-DIN connector&lt;/a&gt;  (shown at right) is the most common of several S-Video connector types.   Other S-Video connector variants include 7-pin locking "dub"  connectors  used on many professional S-VHS machines, and dual "Y" and  "C" &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_connector" title="BNC connector"&gt;BNC connectors&lt;/a&gt;, often used for S-Video &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_panel" title="Patch panel"&gt;patch bays&lt;/a&gt;. Early Y/C video monitors often used &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector" title="RCA connector"&gt;RCA connectors&lt;/a&gt;  that were switchable between Y/C and composite video input. Though the   connectors are different, the Y/C signals for all types are compatible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="content_block" id="content_4" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="7-pin_mini-DIN"&gt;7-pin mini-DIN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="thumb tright"&gt;&lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 172px;"&gt;&lt;a class="image" href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:S-Video_7-pin_quasi-DIN_connector.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="170" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/S-Video_7-pin_quasi-DIN_connector.JPG/170px-S-Video_7-pin_quasi-DIN_connector.JPG" width="170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt;A 7-pin mini-DIN socket.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="thumb tleft"&gt;&lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 66px;"&gt;&lt;a class="image" href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pseudo_miniDIN-7_Diagram.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="64" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Pseudo_miniDIN-7_Diagram.png" width="64" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt;7 pin plug diagram&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This is a non standard 7-pin mini-DIN connectors (this variant  is  called "7P"). These are used on computer equipment (PCs). A 7-pin   socket accepts and is pin compatible with standard 4-pin S-video plug&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pin7_4-0"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video#cite_note-pin7-4"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;. The three extra may be used to supply &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_video" title="Composite video"&gt;composite (CVBS)&lt;/a&gt; or an RGB or YPbPr video signal, or an &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C" title="I²C"&gt;I²C&lt;/a&gt; interface. The &lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinout" title="Pinout"&gt;pin out&lt;/a&gt; usage varies between manufacturers&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pin7_4-1"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video#cite_note-pin7-4"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;.   In some implementations, the remaining pin needs to be grounded to   enable the composite output (or disable the S-video output on some of   those implementations).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="9-pin_Video_In.2FVideo_Out"&gt;9-pin Video In/Video Out&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;a class="image" href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pseudo_miniDIN-9_Diagram.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="Pseudo miniDIN-9 Diagram.png" height="64" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/87/Pseudo_miniDIN-9_Diagram.png" width="64" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="image" href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MiniDIN-9_Diagram.svg"&gt;&lt;img alt="MiniDIN-9 Diagram.svg" height="64" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/MiniDIN-9_Diagram.svg/64px-MiniDIN-9_Diagram.svg.png" width="64" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are used on graphics systems that feature the ability to  input  video as well as output it. Again, there is no standardisation  between  manufacturers as to which pin does what (also given that there 2  known  variants of the connector in use). As can be seen from the  diagram  above, although the S-Video signals are available on the  corresponding  pins, neither variant of the connector will accept an  unmodified 4-pin  S-video plug, though they can be made to fit by  removing the key from  the plug. In this latter case, it becomes all too  easy to misalign the  plug when inserting it with consequent damage to  the small pins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="9-pin_.28b.29"&gt;9-pin (Used in the following)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;a class="image" href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pseudo_miniDIN-9b_Diagram.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="Pseudo miniDIN-9b Diagram.png" height="64" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/97/Pseudo_miniDIN-9b_Diagram.png" width="64" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Mega_Drive/Sega_Genesis" title="Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis"&gt;Sega Mega Drive II&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/32X" title="32X"&gt;32X&lt;/a&gt; - This is larger than a standard mini-DIN 9.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hypercom T7 Eftpos terminal&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="external text" href="http://pinouts.ru/Video/nvidia_svideo_9p_pinout.shtml" rel="nofollow"&gt;Nvidia GForce S-Video 9 pin to YPbPr (YCbCr)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="external text" href="http://pinouts.ru/Video/sigma_video_pinout.shtml" rel="nofollow"&gt;Sigma EM8300 Video Card&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="external text" href="http://www.thetechzone.com/reviews/speakers/dtt2500/index.shtml" rel="nofollow"&gt;Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 Digital&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="external text" href="http://www.speed-link.com/?p=2&amp;amp;cat=183&amp;amp;pid=20640&amp;amp;paus=1" rel="nofollow"&gt;Speed-link Medusa Amplifier&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="external text" href="http://images.google.nl/images?q=Creative+Inspire+T7700" rel="nofollow"&gt;Creative Inspire T7700 Speakers&lt;/a&gt; - Wired control unit connector.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="external text" href="http://images.google.nl/images?q=Creative+x-fi+elite+pro&amp;amp;oe=utf-8" rel="nofollow"&gt;Creative X-fi elite pro unit&lt;/a&gt; - Cable to connect to the speakers for control.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="external text" href="http://pinouts.ru/Home/creative_t3100_speakers_pinout.shtml" rel="nofollow"&gt;Creative Speaker mini din 9p pinout&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="external text" href="http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/a/a5.600_p40/a5.600_p40_dfu_eng.pdf" rel="nofollow"&gt;Philips A5.600 Seismic Power 600&lt;/a&gt; - Center speaker controller unit and 5.1 audio connector.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Harman/Kardon 395 3pc Speaker Set - Cable from subwoofer to the satellites for volume control.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="external text" href="http://www.thesharpexperience.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Various Sharp multimedia projectors&lt;/a&gt; RS-232C (DIN9B TO DB9 supplied with the project&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Or a "Do-it-yerself" S-video to composite video adapter&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanx &lt;a href="http://www.hut.fi/%7Ethen/"&gt;Tomi Engdahl&lt;/a&gt; &amp;lt;&lt;a href="mailto:tomi.engdahl@iki.fi"&gt;Tomi.Engdahl@iki.fi&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; for the easy's on the fix&lt;/div&gt;This simple adapter can be used to convert Y/C video (S-video) to a  composite video. This adapter is useful in cases where your video output  device has only S-video output but your signal source accepts only  composite video input. This circuit works with both PAL and NTSC video  standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;pre&gt;Y-ground------------------+&lt;br /&gt;                          +---------- RCA/composite ground&lt;br /&gt;C-ground------------------+&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y-------------------------+&lt;br /&gt;                          +--------- RCA/composite video&lt;br /&gt;C------------||-----------+&lt;br /&gt;            470pF&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/b&gt; This circuit can be quite easily build inside a the S-video  connector case if a physically small size 470 pF (ceramic) capacitor is  used. Larger capacitor values will also work, but cause picture to  become "softer". The voltage rating of capacitor can be 10V or more.&lt;br /&gt;This circuit works in practice quite well even though the circuit  operation is not ideal. This means that impedances and signal levels not  matched exactly right, but near enough to work accetably. The picture  quality you get from this circuit is is good, but not as good as with  best possible composite video output circuitry.&lt;br /&gt;Here is the pinout of the S-video connector  shown from the end with  the FEMALE PINS (picture is a view on the equipment back/front panel):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="S-video DIN connector" src="http://www.tkk.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/svideo_connector.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;pre&gt;1   Y ground&lt;br /&gt;2   C ground&lt;br /&gt;3   Y (luminance+sync)&lt;br /&gt;4   C (crominance)&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;What if my PC graphics card has a 7-pin S-video connector instead of 4-pin ?&lt;/h2&gt;The four pin S-video connector as shown above is the standard  connector for carrying S-video. Those seven pin connectors seen on some  PC graphics cards are non-standard connectors for carrying S-video. The  use of the pins on those seven pin connectors is not standardized and  can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.  (For some strange reasons  some manufacturers in PC industry just keep constanly breaking the  industry standars and create lots of  confuzion to users when doing so).&lt;br /&gt;Generally the four pins on those 7-pin connectors on the same places  as the standard four pin S-video connector have practcly always the same  fuctionality as those pins in S-video connector. The other three pins  can have then some extra signals which are not part of S-video (usually  some pins of those carry composite video and some control signals, but  the use of those three extra pins vary quite much). So if you encounter 7  pin connector for S-video, then forget the three center pins... just  use the four on the standard positions. The circuit shoudl work with  those connectors as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Can the circuit used in other way ?&lt;/h2&gt;If you try to connect the circuit in opposite way so that you have a  composite video signal which yoiu want to feed to S-video input then you  might wonder would this circuit work also in that way. The answer is  that the circuit sort of work also in this way. If you connect a  comoisute video source to a S-video input of your TV using this circuit,  you will get a full color picture on your TV screen. The downside of  this is that the picture quality will be worse than if you were using  the real composite vidoe input of your TV. The reason for this is that  after the circuit the color information is still in the brighness  signal, you you see some interference on the screen caused by color  subcarrier which gets to the screen. This all means that you can use  this circuit as last change in situations where you don't have a  composite video input. The picture quality is degraded, but propably  still usable for some not so demanding applications. A real well working  solution would be much more complicated than this circuit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1 class="firstHeading"&gt;The Skinny on VGA (15)&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h3 id="siteSub"&gt;From HwB&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;i&gt;VGA=Video Graphics Adapter&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;DDC2AB&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;I²C (ACCESS.bus)&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;DDC/CI&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;I²C&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;i&gt;Note: DDC2 was never implemented&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="DDC1"&gt; DDC1 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;DDC1 is a quite simple protocol. Unidirectional communication from the monitor to the video card. VSYNC (14) is used as clock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="DDC2B"&gt; DDC2B &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;Based on Philips I²C protocol. Video card is the master and monitor   is always slave. Monitor has address 0xA0 (for write mode) and 0xA1 (for   read mode). Control of display is not possible only exchange of  information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="DDC2B.2B"&gt; DDC2B+ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;Modification to allow bidirectional communication, point to point.   Both video card and monitor can be master and slave. Control of display   is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="DDC2AB.2FDDC2B.2B"&gt; DDC2AB/DDC2B+ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;Monitors that implement DDC2AB/DDC2B+ are full featured ACCESS.bus  devices. Multiple devices on one bus. ACCESS.bus is based on Philips I²C  protocol. Default address for monitor is 0x6e and 0x50 for video card  (host). Extra information is transmitted thru VDIF (VESA Video Display  Information Format).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="DDC.2FCI_.28formerly_DDC2Bi.29"&gt; DDC/CI (formerly DDC2Bi) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;i&gt;DDC/CI = Display Data Channel Command Interface&lt;/i&gt; E-DDC (VESA Enhanced Extended Display Data Channel Standard) is the physical standard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Extended_Display_Identification_Data"&gt; Extended Display Identification Data &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;i&gt;EDID = Extended Display Identification Data&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="EDID_1.0.2F1.1"&gt; EDID 1.0/1.1 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;The EDID information consists of 128 bytes of monitor data.&lt;br /&gt;Additional blocks of 128 bytes can be stored in EDID extension   blocks (aka VDIF) after the initial EDID block. These blocks contain  addtional detailed  timing information. There is a flag within the EDID  to indicate the existence of these  blocks. VDIF is not currently used  in our systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table _mce_style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0pt; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%; color: #000000;" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(249, 249, 249); border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); color: black; font-size: 95%; margin: 1em 1em 1em 0pt;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Version &lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Revision &lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Year &lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Standard &lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;0&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;1994&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;DDC&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;1996&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;EDID Standard v2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;1997&lt;/td
