IMHO=In My Humble Opinion VBG=Very Big Grin

This blog is devoted to topics that interest me and perhaps I'll post information that "the mainstream media" chooses to ignore or deemphasize. The point here is not to debate what I post, just consider it another point of view if you disagree with it, you know, be "open minded" and "tolerant."

Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

Never mind...
Fred was frantically looking for a parking space in a crowded lot hoping to make his very important appointment on time. In desperation he prayed, "Lord, if you provide a parking space for me I promise that I'll faithfully attend church every week and read my bible every day. I'll also give you 10 percent and give up all my bad habits."

Lo and behold a primo parking spot appeared.

Quickly looking up Fred said, "Never mind Lord, I found a spot!"

Storm Donations Found at Official's Home
Sep 22 Police found cases of food, clothing and tools intended for hurricane victims at the home of the chief administrative officer for a New Orleans suburb, authorities said Wednesday.

Floyd, who runs the day-to-day operations in the suburb of Kenner, was in charge of distributing the goods...The donations filled a large pickup truck four times. "It was an awful lot of stuff," Caraway said...

Labor Day Hurricane of 1935
The death and devastation from this hurricane season may end up being the worst ever, but in terms of a storm's sheer power, you need to go back 70 years to find the record setter on U.S. soil.

As of this morning, Hurricane Rita was the third most powerful storm ever recorded emanating from the Atlantic Ocean. Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 was the most powerful, packing winds of 200 miles an hour, but it came ashore in Mexico.

The Labor Day hurricane of 1935 is believed to be the most powerful storm ever to affect the U.S. It made landfall as a Category 5 in the Florida Keys with winds of 180 miles an hour. http://www.hurricaneville.com/historic.html

Idaho weatherman thinks hurricanes a plot against America
September 21, 2005 Scott Stevens, a meteorologist who for nine years has been forecasting the weather on KPVI-TV in Pocatello, says the Yakuza — the Japanese mafia — is using a Russian-made electromagnetic generator to launch terrific storms against the U.S. mainland.

The devastation of New Orleans was in revenge for the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Stevens explains on his Web site...Nor is it a coincidence that both Katrina and Ivan — the huge hurricane that hit Florida a year ago — are Russian names, Stevens says.

At least one other scientist, however, thinks it's all a bunch of hooey…"I have been doing hurricane research for the better part of 20 years now, and there was nothing unusual to me about any of the satellite imagery of Katrina," Robert S. Young, an associate professor of geology at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, N.C., told the newspaper. "It's laughable to think it could have been man-made."

Other hurricane experts explain that the spate of severe North Atlantic storms in recent years is part of a natural 25- to 30-year cycle. There was a wave of damaging hurricanes between 1935 and 1965, then a lull before the number of bad storms increased again around 1995.

Child-sex book canceled after WND report
'Expert' author claimed sex good for 'nurturing,' 'mentoring' young boys
September 22, 2005 Two days after WND exclusively reported on a new book claiming sex with children "can benefit" boys and even serve a "mentoring function," the publishing company has announced it is canceling the book in light of the public outcry the story prompted. … The company Board of Directors and Ethics Committee met on the matter and have voted not to proceed with publication of the book.
…The same author, Bruce Rind, embarrassed the American Psychological Association in 1999 when it published a report by Rind disputing the harmfulness of child molestation. Titled "A Meta-Analytic Examination of Assumed Properties of Child Sexual Abuse Using College Samples," the report, which claimed child sexual abuse could be harmless and beneficial, was published in the APA's official peer-reviewed journal.

Trial Postponed for Dad Fighting Homosexual Curriculum at Son's School
September 21, 2005 (AgapePress) - The trial of Massachusetts parent David Parker, which was originally scheduled to take place today (September 21), has been postponed. The Lexington man was arrested in April after he attempted to get his son opted out of homosexuality discussions in school.

…The no-trespassing order being imposed against Parker by the school district prevents him from setting foot on any Lexington Schools property, including coming onto school grounds to pick his son up from school, using school-owned walking paths where he used to take his son for recreation, and going to polling places on school property.

… However, that proceeding has been stalled because of the head of the school district. "The Superintendent of Schools has said he hasn't had time to make a decision yet," Camenker points out. "Now, one has to think, it's been all summer. It's been in the news. How can he not make a 10-minute decision? But this is what he claims." …Camenker says the judge in Parker's case has given the superintendent one more month to decide whether to keep the no-trespass order in place, or whether to discontinue the ban preventing the Lexington dad from setting foot on school grounds.

Ex-Lesbian Wants Homosexual Magazines Out of Local Library
September 21, 2005 (AgapePress) - A former lesbian who became a Christian is among several residents calling on a local library to remove two provocative homosexual magazines from its shelves. The Board of Trustees for the Upper Arlington Public Library recently voted unanimously to continue displaying and distributing the publications Outlook Weekly and Gay People's Chronicle.

…French, a former lesbian, who believes the publications have been strategically placed in the library to seduce the young minds of children…

French is advocating for the protection of impressionable young people….

… At a recent public forum, the Lancaster resident implored the Upper Arlington Public Library to remove or…at the very least, put them out of children's eyesight. However, the library's board refused both options.

But in spite of the objections of French and other concerned area residents, the Upper Arlington Library Board of Trustees decided to keep both Outlook Weekly and Gay People's Chronicle in sight and in circulation. The board argued that neither of the two homosexual magazines meets federal obscenity standards.

Unsafe in Any Dose
9/22/2005 Brushing off the risks inherent in drug reimportation schemes, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has a standard retort: "Show me the dead Canadians."

There are now dead Canadians. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police this month charged Adadir Nasr, former owner of King West Pharmacy in Hamilton, Ontario, with selling counterfeit Norvasc. Five people who filled their heart medication prescriptions at the pharmacy died of heart attack or stroke. At press time yesterday evening, Gov. Pawlenty's office did not have a comment…

… The World Health Organization estimates that 8 to 10 percent of pharmaceuticals sold worldwide are counterfeit... Some have estimated that 120 million counterfeit drugs are sold in the U.K. alone...

…But most importantly, this is a safety question. Will Americans be more or less safe under drug reimportation? Health policy consultant Mike Tremblay succinctly formulated the issue Tuesday: "The consequences of getting it wrong are dead people."
