Angel - FIrst Black Republican President

Angel for President . Well maybe even VP if McCain would just take a look at her. Angel is ready to fight to protect her elderly patients and insists that I get a job if I want to have money. It's tough love from Angel if I want to get anything out of HER government, but it might be worth it. Another option for President is Delphine - see earlier posts.

This is from Germany!! http://tinyurl.com/2wwmeh

This is from USA ... http://www.armedamerica.org/
But the people are from USA and the photos are excellent. But - one wonders if they might get a better return on investment by investing in stocks instead of guns?? I guess this is now how Germans view Americans... Unless they watch Jerry Springer.

a nun grading papers - hilarious!

Can you imagine yourself to be the nun sitting at her desk grading these
papers all the while trying to keep a straight face and maintain her
composure!

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IF YOU ARE EVEN REMOTELY
FAMILIAR WITH HOLY SCRIPTURE, YOU'LL FIND THIS HILARIOUS! IT COMES FROM A
ROMAN CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST. KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE
WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RE-TOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT
SPEL LING HAS BEEN LEFT IN.

1. IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GUINESSIS. GOD GOT TIRED OF CREATING THE
WORLD SO HE TOOK THE SABBATH OFF.

2. ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED FROM AN APPLE TREE. NOAH'S WIFE WAS JOAN OF
ARK. NOAH BUILT AND ARK AND THE ANIMALS CAME ON IN PEARS.

3. LOTS WIFE WAS A PILLAR OF SALT DURING THE DAY, BUT A BALL OF FIRE DURING
THE NIGHT.

4. THE JEWS WERE A PROUD PEOPLE AND THROUGHOUT HISTORY THEY HAD TROUBLE WITH
UNSYMPATHETIC GENITALS.

5. SAMPSON WAS A STRONGMAN WHO LET HIM SELF BE LED ASTRAY BY A JEZEBEL LIKE
DELILAH.

6. SAMSON SLAYED THE PHILISTINES WITH THE AXE OF THE APOSTLES.

7. MOSES LED THE JEWS TO THE RED SEA WHERE THEY MADE UNLEAVENED BREAD WHICH
IS BREAD WITHOUT ANY INGREDIENTS .

8, THE EGYPTIANS WERE ALL DROWNED IN THE DESSERT. AFTER WARDS, MOSES WENT UP
TO MOUNT CYANIDE TO GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

9. THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS WAS WHEN EVE TOLD ADAM TO EAT THE APPLE.

10. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT IS THOU SHALT NOT ADMIT ADULTERY.

11. MOSES DIED BEFORE HE EVER REACHED CANADA ... THEN JOSHUA LED THE HEBREWS
IN THE BATTLE OF GERITOL ..

12. THE GREATEST MIRICLE IN THE BIBLE IS WHEN JOSHUA TOLD HIS SON TO STAND
STILL AND HE OBEYED HIM.

13. DAVID WAS A HEBREW KING WHO WAS SKILLED AT PLAYING THE LIAR. HE FOUGHT
THE FINKELSTEINS, A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN BIBLICAL TIMES.

14. SOLOMON, ONE OF DAVIDS SONS, HAD 300 WIVES AND 700 PORCUPINES.

15. WHEN MARY HEARD SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF JESUS, SHE SANG THE MAGNA CARTA.

16. WHEN THE THREE WISE GUYS FROM THE EAST SIDE ARRIVED THEY FOUND JESUS IN
THE MANAGER.

17 JESUS WAS BORN BECAUSE MARY HAD AN IMMACULATE CONTRAPTION.

18. ST. JOHN THE BLACKSMITH DUMPED WATER ON HIS HEAD.

19. JESUS ENUNCIATED THE GOLDEN RULE, WHICH SAYS TO DO UNTO OTHERS BE FORE
THEY DO ONE TO YOU. HE ALSO EXPLAINED A MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY SWEAT ALONE..

20. IT WAS A MIRICLE WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND MANAGED TO GET THE
TOMBSTONE OFF THE ENTRANCE.

21. THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THE LORD WERE CALLED THE 12 DECIBELS.

22. THE EPISTELS WERE THE WIVES OF THE A POSTLES.

23. ONE OF THE OPPOSSUMS WAS ST. MATTHEW WHO WAS ALSO A TAXIMAN.

24. ST. PAUL CAVORTED TO CHRISTIANITY, HE PREACHED HOLY ACRIMONY WHICH IS
ANOTHER NAME FOR MARRAIGE.

25. CHRISTIANS HAVE ONLY ONE SPOUSE . THIS IS CALLED MONOTONY.

How to Fix a Kitty

Not to worry - a little blood here with the neutering of a large cat (tiger). This humane method is often used in animal husbandry. In this case the tiger has fathered a number of cubs but the zoo recognized there is a necessary limit to the captive tiger population because abuses can occur. With the veterinarian's help the zoo does its part to restrict tiger population. The video is educational from a biology point of view and the veterinarian is quite informative. This tiger is healthy and enjoying a good environment at his zoo home.

Uncle Vic Snores

But now, after several years of sleep apnea and snoring so bad I had to sleep away from my family - I found something that works.  This is not an advertisement - just a note to snorers who might want to try something else.  I must have used google to search for things - and the device that looked most practical was ordered and tried. It works.  A little uncomfortable but after about two weeks now - I am still NOT SNORING and everybody in the house can sleep soundly.  The cost is about $60 for the device and you have to "form fit" it to your mouth to use it - instuctions included of course. If you have TMJ or seriious teeth problems it is not for you.  The discomfort gets less as time goes on and you get used to it.  www.puresleep.com is the web location. Read up on it and see if it works for you.   I am sorry I did not look harder before my "Sleep Apnea" test with a local physician. Two nights of testing and "Mask" regulating were reqired to reach a solution through a specialist.  The nightly "sleep testing" fees (paid by insurance thankfully) were over $4,000 per night.

Test one concluded I had sleep apnea (plus I snored of course) and Test two allowed a forced air mask to be regulated.  Compare the costs. The $60 device is no more uncomfortable than the mask and it works for me.  Maybe it will work for you.  Uncle Vic.

Engineered Molocules - Berkley Speech

Very good talk (click here) ..about an hour long... A number of topics by Chu. The first part is more on how the ear works - the middle part more on DNA replication and the later 15 minutes a really good synopsis on global warming and the real crisis - the future of fuel or energy to support mankind . All this has to do with engineering molecules to do the work needed in many areas of human concern and endeavors. Yes the talk is long. Yes the concepts may go past you at some points. But the man is quite good at explaining and it is VERY interesting. My take-away on global warming... "Whether or not global warming is exacerbated by CO2 - in 150 years there needs to be a viable massive new energy source besides fossil fuels and possibly beyond nuclear". (thus molecular engineering solutions).

Timely Stock Market Analysis

O.K. sports fans.. here is look at some charts for some well known mutual funds over a period from mid 2002 to now. All these do well. Some are "safer" thus less risk - less gain over time. The higher risk - higher gain ones are "emerging market" funds. The top "dark blue" line is a USAA fund that I have placed "bolinger bands" with 150 day settings. Notice when the blue line goes below the bands the future looks good. Right now the blue ine is WAY below the bands - so if you are an investor and not a speculator - this is a RIPE time to buy that fund. The red line is a similar mutual fund from Vanguard. Any of these funds will show similar buy signals with the bolinger bands. Just plan on several years to HOLD the fund and enjoy a good return. To research further - look up the mutual fund and see what the top five stocks are that are in it. Now - look at each of those stocks and check their charts and bolinger bands. Could be - that some of those individual stocks will be about to make a move too - since they are the what the pros are buying for the mutual fund. Look at this a year from now and see if I was right. This has been your stock market lesson for the day. Yahoo Finance has great tools. Use them.

entrepreneur or what?

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his
customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to
you."
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other,
then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"

The boy takes the quarters and leaves.

"What did ! I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of
the ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take
the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"

The boy licked his cone and replied,"Because the day I take the dollar, the
game's over."

Muzik Reviews

http://www.muzikreviews.com/erinb1.php
My former student, Erin B. rails against commercials using great music to push consumerism.
After all - she says -- the rockers were rebelling against "the man".
now "the man" is using the former rebellious music to stoke the corporate profits.
My opinion?  Well - it IS about the money ... and it was all along!! duh?
