A genuine tale of Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHis name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools
and ran to the bog.
There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and
terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'
'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's
own son came to the door of the family hovel.
'Is that your
son?' the nobleman asked.
'Yes,' the farmer replied
proudly.
'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the
level of education my own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' And that he did.
Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.
What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill .. His son's name?
Sir Winston Churchill.

The cleanup in Amityville, Long Island, is still underway three weeks after Superstorm Sandy devastated parts of the region. So when residents got a warning that they now have to get rid of all of the debris themselves, they were none too happy.
ReplyDeletePete Picucci, 96, spends hours a day sitting in front of his fireplace, the lone source of warmth after Sandy flooded his home, destroying pretty much everything.
His wife is in the hospital after suffering a heart attack before the storm. He is relying on neighbors to help him clean up, a process that is far from over.
Then Friday came the notice, which said that "to prevent a summons please don't put debris outside."
Piccuci is not the only one outraged over the possibility of getting fined. His neighbors are equally frustrated.
Amityville Mayor Peter Imbert said the village doesn't have the resources to continue pickup. He said that after three weeks of the village's cleanup, residents now have a responsibility to get a Dumpster or contractor. He said officials are concerned they are not going to be reimbursed by FEMA.
Picucci and his neighbors have their own concerns about reimbursement. But despite everything that's happened, Picucci is very thankful for one thing: the support of his neighbors who have helped him get by. He said he never knew people could be so nice.

ReplyDeleteChang, a former IBM employee, could be setting himself up for a clash with Microsoft. His patent was originally filed back in 2007—two years before a similar Microsoft patent was filed for “legal intercept” technology designed to be used with VoIP services like Skype to “silently copy communication transmitted via the communication session.” (Because Microsoft acquired Skype last year, questions have been raised about whether the patent is part of a plan to build intercept capabilities into the popular chat service, though Skype has not yet commented on the matter.) A press release issued by Chang’s company earlier this month noted that VoIP-Pal had identified “substantial similarities” between its patent and Microsoft’s. Was Chang trying to insinuate that Microsoft had copied his patent? I sent him a series of questions by email, but he responded that the company was “not in a position to make any statements” at this time.
ReplyDeleteEither way, the race to wiretap the Web is heating up. Aside from companies competing over patents, civil liberties and privacy concerns due to increasing levels of surveillance have sparked huge interest in new encrypted communications platforms, deliberately designed to shield users from potential monitoring. So even if governments were able to successfully implement VoIP-Pal’s lawful intercept technology on a countrywide scale, they should expect their would-be targets to find new ways to circumvent surveillance.

ReplyDeletePillar of Cloud (Explained)
ReplyDeleteA pillar of cloud (Hebrew: עמוד ענן) was one of the manifestations of the presence of the God of Israel in the Torah. According to Exodus, the pillar of cloud guided the Israelites by day during the Exodus from Egypt (circa the 18th Dynasty; see dating of the Exodus). The pillar of cloud is traditionally paired with the manifestation of the divine presence by night as the pillar of fire, which provided light. This was so they "could travel by day or night".[1]
Exodus 13:21-22 By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.
Numbers 14:14 And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, O LORD, are with these people and that you, O Lord, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
Deuteronomy 1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
Psalms 99:7 In a pillar of cloud He spoke to them; they kept His testimonies and the statute He gave them.
Nehemiah 9:12 By day you led them with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.
Nehemiah 9:19 "Because of your great compassion you did not abandon them in the desert. By day the pillar of cloud did not cease to guide them on their path, nor the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take.

ReplyDeleteDeer attacks two men, then takes man's cigarettes
ReplyDeleteWhitehouse, Texas — Joseph Rose and Cole Kellis were leaving their home in Whitehouse on Friday morning when they noticed a deer in their front yard.
Rose approached the deer and he says the deer seemed friendly. But then Kellis and Rose say the deer then charged them and started to attack.
Rose and Kellis ran to Rose's pick-up truck to try to get away from the wild buck. The deer then "poked" Rose in his ribs, so Rose jumped out of his truck into the back-bed. Rose says he left his driver-side door open and the deer climbed in and took his pack of cigarettes that were sitting in his center console.
The deer starting eating Rose's smokes, and when Rose tried to get them back, Rose says the deer got more aggressive.
They then had to call Whitehouse police and the Game Warden. When police arrived they had to tase the deer and then Rose says it took more than 5 men to restrain the buck.
KETK spoke to Smith County Game Warden, Dustin Dockery, and he says, "Admire deer from a distance but do not approach them because they can be dangerous."

ReplyDeleteThanksgiving
ReplyDeleteThe autumn harvest festivals, alas, are obsolete,
For living in the city, we don't grow the foods we eat
No evidence of seasonal change is there to be found
When supermarkets stock the same foods all the year around
And little of the seasons' passing show is evident
From leafless trees in iron grates embedded in cement.
But though the beat of life has changed, it cannot obviate
The need to mark time's passage, or the urge to celebrate
And if through stone and asphalt nature's changes scarcely show
We'll greet each one consistent with the urban life we know
And gorge ourselves on turkey, mashed potatoes, and ice cream,
To give thanks for that wondrous day the landlord sends up steam.

State TV says Morsi opponents set fire to the offices in the Suez Canal cities of Suez, Port Said and Ismailia.
Clashes also erupted between the two sides in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, the southern city of Assiut and in Giza, the sister city of the capital. In Alexandria, Morsi opponents hurled stones at Brotherhood supporters outside a mosque and stormed a nearby office of the group.
The clashes came a day after Morsi announced sweeping new powers for himself, putting himself above judicial oversight.

A ceasefire brokered between Israel and Hamas continued to hold Thursday, despite urgings for an all-out war by some Muslim extremists in the region.
ReplyDeleteThe truce was arranged Wednesday with the help of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi.
But the head of Egypt's powerful Muslim Brotherhood denounced the peace efforts Thursday, urging for a holy war to free the Palestinian territories.

That means Morsy, who earlier this year took over legislative powers from the military council that ruled after Mubarak's ouster, could have at least six months of unchecked rule by decree. The draft constitution would go to a referendum before it is finalized.
ReplyDeleteHe also fired Egypt's general prosecutor, who had taken criticism from protesters in recent months because they believe prosecutions over demonstrators' deaths were insufficient. Morsy swore in Talaat Ibrahim as the new general prosecutor on Thursday.
Morsy's moves come three days after the start of violent protests in central Cairo, largely by people angry at Morsy's government and the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist movement to which Morsy belongs. There also is turmoil in the constitution panel, which has been torn between conservatives wanting the constitution to mandate Egypt be governed by Islam's Sharia law, and moderates and liberals who want it to say that Egypt be governed by principles of Sharia.
The announcements also come a day after Morsy helped broker a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas after an eight-day conflict between the sides.
Thousands of people have protested in Cairo since Monday, chanting -- for the first time since Morsy took office -- for the toppling of the regime. Some in Tahrir Square held posters saying "No to the Brotherhood," and banned Brotherhood members from entering the square.

“He just stopped talking. Who can explain it? You’re not going to be able to explain this guy at all,” a source told the Daily News. “I’m not a psychologist, but he seems to have mental problems. He’s a little delusional.”

ReplyDelete.... does it only count as blasphemy if it’s against Islam?

ReplyDeleteSentiments of every single religion are being put to the sword all over the world on a daily basis and chopping off heads – or even calling for it in the name of religion – is a medieval way of protecting your ideological beliefs. You want to make sure people respect your religion? Stop reacting exactly like the maker of this video would’ve wanted you to react; stop being the primary antagonist of the script that was designed to defame your religion.

ReplyDeleteSimon says hate India, we hate India. Simon says abhor the Jews, we abhor the Jews. Simon says despise the US, and we despise the US. Simon says take the minorities to the task, we take them to the task. Simon says be happy when a non-Muslim is massacred, and we are happy. Simon says that a YouTube video should hurt your sentiments, and then it hurts our sentiments. Simon says feel agitated, and we oblige him with agitation. Simon says burn with fury, and we burn down our own property in fury. Simon says, kill to assert peace, and we kill peacefully. Simon says believe that everything is a US-Zionist conspiracy and we showcase unyielding belief.

what are you doing at this hate site anyway??
The boy wimped out on going to shop for clothes with his Nana. I hate shopping too, but I'm sympathetic to him. I still have to run her up to the mall.
ReplyDeleteNot only was yesterday Thanksgiving, it was also Maw's 79th birthday. She's making a pretty strong run at it in my estimation. Good on her.
I'll run her up to the mall. Better get going then. I'll be back later.

ReplyDeleteIf you have to shop for clothes, why the hell would anybody choose today? You're taking what some people consider an unpleasant necessity and ratcheting up the unpleasantness by several factors in choosing to go on the Day of the Great Retail Stampede.
ReplyDeleteFor that matter, if you want clothing, shop online at the Sierra Trading Post. This Christian-owned company (they're not open Sundays) sells very good stuff in closeout; you've got to keep an eye on their site if you want something in particular, but they have online deals that knock their already-low prices down even further; their return policy is fantastic (I bought a coat from them a few years ago and when a better color of the same thing came in a couple of months later they took the first one back, no problem).
Shopping for clothes on the day after Thanksgiving is like going to synagogue only on Yom Kippur. If you're not accustomed to going to shul and then go only on the most grueling day of the worship year, of course you're going to leave saying, "Well, that's over. Thank God I don't have to do it again until next year."

Sierra Trading also sells sporting goods camping fishing hunting equipment etc
ReplyDeletewhat sort of Christians they are I have no idea
for all I know they may be replacement theologists who support Hamas
all I know is they put bible quotes on their order form
ReplyDeletemerely being a "christian" is not an auto endorsement for me any more than merely being a "muslim" means you are a jihadist to me
ReplyDeleteresearch must be done first.
I have no idea what kind of Christians they are. For all I know they could be Fred Phelpsians---but their merchandise is excellent and nicely priced.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I don't get anything for saying so.
the EDL have crosses on all of their gear too GOD help me....
ReplyDeletethat being said they sell very high quality shit at very low prices
ReplyDeleteSierra Trading that is ....
