Some skittish travelers are calling off holiday trips to the Big Apple because of the infestation, due, partly, says this report, to banned pesticides.
And who do you think was responsible for the ban? Good liberals like the ones that infest NYC.
Pornography is devastating our nation and it's devastating our youth
No sin is victimless. Former porn "actress" makes the point.
we have been sleeping through three major wars that will soon wake us up.
The media is strangely silent, but the spill-over will come quickly.
At a Democratic fundraiser on Monday night, President Obama once again misquoted the Declaration of Independence’s most famous sentence and once again omitted its reference to our “Creator.” According to the text of his remarks published on the official White House website, he said: “[W]hat makes this place [America] special is not something physical. It has to do with this idea that was started by 13 colonies that decided to throw off the yoke of an empire, and said, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’”
Not likely a coincidence that this has happened twice. Seems like there was another time shortly after the first. And the Dems wonder why people question his supposed Christian faith.
So what does Apple have to do to start capturing significant system market share? Convince businesses to switch to Macs by working with software manufacturers to deliver Mac-based alternatives. Get some games on the platform. Ask Steve Jobs to be nicer and stop wearing turtlenecks. Deliver a sub-$500 laptop and desktop. Let people build their own Apple computers out of off-the shelf parts. Convince people Apple is not a cult. There. That should be easy.

You think the author of the article is spot on?
academics studying whatever natural phenomenon that interests them increasingly have the incentive to link that phenomenon to climate change to improve their chances at getting funding.
The old toot-your-own-horn syndrome in *gasp* of all places, science, and that for money. And we thought those old scientists were objective. Hmmm.
This is a browsable, Web-based interface to the Greek New Testament (GNT). It has several distinguishing features.
- Unlike packages such as ``Logos'', you don't need to install it: if you are reading this page using any graphical web browser (e.g. Netscape or Internet Explorer), you can browse the GNT.
- You don't need any Greek fonts. The text is rendered as images (GIF files), normally one for each verse. This gives you good-quality text - much better than several widely-used installable fonts - with no effort on your part.
- Subject to the limitations imposed by limited bandwidth, the system is fast. Several levels of cacheing are employed, on both server and client. Consequently, in most circumstances only a few kilobytes of data need to be transferred for each request. The worst case is requesting a complete chapter for the first time (e.g. John 1 is sent as a 110 kbyte data stream), but even this causes only a short delay in most cases. Because of the cacheing, speed tends to increase as you use the system.
- The system does not use JavaScript, Java, client-side image maps, or any other recent enhancement to HTML or browser technology. I'm by no means averse to using new features - I'm not a ``technophobe'' - but there are severe and often unacknowledged problems of incompatibility and inefficiency which I wanted especially to avoid in this project. For example, client-side image maps would seem to be ideal for implementing selection; but this feature proved to be unacceptably slow, at any rate on the browser on which I tested it.
- There is a search facility. You can search for a given word; for a word occurring close to another given word; for a word with a given root (base or lemma); and you can limit the search by grammatical category. Examples:
- Find all perfect imperatives. (There are 4 of them.)
- Find all plural forms of a particular word.
The search facility is fast, simple and self-explanatory.
- You specify Greek input by typing a Latin transliteration on the keyboard

This is the most updated Greek text I've found on the Internet. The NA text is in it's 27th edition, last I heard, which is the edition I have, so the online edition is very recent compared to most texts found on Bible study sites.
Robert Schuller started this church in a drive-in theater, preached the power of positive thinking, a feel-good gospel, broadcast the "Hour of Power." In 2009 it lost 30% of its income and couldn't cut expenses fast enough.
This mutation of the gospel mocks the man who gave his life to save, and not just because of their bankruptcy.
Daniel Collins may not have been literally flushed down the toilet, but he might as well have been. Daniel was working on the Raymore, Missouri sewage system as part of a crew employed by Rosetta Construction. Usually the work is safe, and he had a safety line hooked to him. The trouble for the worker began when that safety line somehow became detached, and he was suddenly plunged down a pipe only 27 inches wide. He kept going down that pipe for more than a mile. Meanwhile, his fellow workers and firefighters were frantically searching for him. Daniel was able to call out one last time loud enough for someone to find him. One of the firefighters, who is also a paramedic, heard Daniel and was able to bring him to safety. The man had bruises, and may have swallowed some of the nasty water; but everyone believes it is miraculous for him to be alive, and in such good physical shape. Daniel did at least a couple of things right during his ordeal that helped him to survive. He did not give up, and he kept on calling out believing that someone would hear him, and come to his rescue. If Daniel had given up on the hope of rescue any sooner, he might never have been found. If he had believed that dying in the sewer pipe was going to happen whether he called for help or not - then, it would likely have been a self-fulfilling prophecy. At times, you may find yourself in a situation in life that feels like you have been flushed down a toilet or worse.
Though from a denominational preacher, this devotional is spot on in this truth, and spoke to me today. Give the whole article a close read.
For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.
It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford's book organizes the facts very well.) I don't believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.
One scientist speaks up and does something.
