Religulous the movie paints a picture of Christians being weak minded and simple.

Top of the Order: After battling back from a 5-3 deficit to tie the game, shoddy defense sent the Braves to their fourth loss in a row, dropping Atlanta 20 games under .500.
The Good: Omar Infante went 2-for-3, raising his average to .299, with a run scored and two [...]
The current state of the stock market is pathetic. Yesterday Suze Orman said that its better to not put any NEW Money in the stock market, wait till the losses wash out.

It’s been 2 weeks since the last set of games and August was not a great month performance wise. The tips for the Premier League only just scraped a positive return of 2.84%. The Championship and Trading Fund did even worse with -23% and -31% respectively. It wasn’t great timing to double the stakes in the [...]
Tough economic times call for increased belt-tightening, preferably a studded leather Linea Pelle belt purchased on sale at Hautelook.com, but it's gotta be tightened nonetheless.

In a world where mortgage rates fluctuate from hour to hour, the economy is completely tanking and the average American is about as likely to be able to afford a loan as to be hit by a meteor. Homeowners and home seekers can breathe a sigh of relief, for despite our great nation's financial downturn, it is possible to buy or sell a home. Over the [...]
Pajamas Media first reported on the academy, a school sponsored by the Saudi Embassy, two weeks ago when law enforcement authorities raided it, looking for evidence that the school’s director, Abdullah Al-Shabnan, had covered up sex abuse allegations by a 5-year old student. The raid occurred just three days after the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors had renewed the school’s lease despite e
Lehman Brothers appears to have escaped the investor panic that brought down Bear Stearns, but many investment pros say it's too early to jump back into financial stocks."I'm just not a buyer in the financials. It's just not time to it yet," says Michael Cohn, of Atlantis Asset Management. "You have to wait for the housing to stabilize, which I think is going to happen this summer."Kathy Boyle, pr
My day started with an early awakening. My cellphone woke me up at 6:00am today because I was going on a school trip with Peer Leaders, some leadership group that I'm in that helps with school activities blah blah blah. (Everyone is in it because it goes great with valedictorian and Peace Corps volunteer on résumés.) The trip's itinerary includes a stop at Chik-fil-a and Niyélo activities.

It’s an intriguing city, Lima. I’d been warned that it was a grey, bleak and boring place, but we found a buzzing centre with death-wish drivers and laid-back locals, a town with luxury at its core but slums on its perimeter.

Starting episode is match between Tenten and Temari. Tenten got overconfident when fighting Temari. He threw her Kunai knives at Temari, but easily, Temari just blew all tenten kunai knives with her fan. On the second blowing her fan, Temari won this batlle because Tenten didn’t stand a chance against her. Once again we [...]

Immediately following the World Cup humiliation, everything seemed straight forward. An already disgruntled rugby public due to a non-event of a Super 14 had to put up with an early yet inevitable exit from the World Cup by a team coached who had always said this is how he was to be judged.
A pompous Independent Inquiry was announced, but this initially...

Indonesia has brushed aside fears of graft and disaster to pursue plans to build the world's largest suspension bridge -- in one of the most earthquake-prone areas on earth.The planned Sunda Strait bridge will cross at least 29 kilometres (18 miles) between the country's two most populous islands, Java and Sumatra, and pass at its closest point a mere 50 kilometres from the still-active Krakatau volcano.That volcano's famous 1883 eruption killed an estimated 36,000 people, mostly from resulting tsunamis. The 10-billion-dollar bridge, which is in the "pre-feasibility" study phase, will pass over three smaller islands and include a single uninterrupted span 2.5 kilometres long.Professor Wiratman Wangsadinata, whose consultancy is involved in the study, says the planned bridge will be around 200 kilometres from the "subduction zone" where the Australian and Asian plates come together.Wangsadinata says that records show the maximum earthquake that can occur in the zone is 8.5 on the Ric
Our return to New Orleans had a few bumps. The completion date for the house in Metairie shifted to mid-January. The FEMA trailer option would not be available in time. We needed to find a place to stay in the area for the end of December and January, and housing at that time was near impossible to find. We went online to Craig’s List and extracted phone numbers for the few apartments that roughly met our minimal requirements. Among these requirements was that the place be furnished and the kitchen include dishes, etc. Our few possessions could still fit in our car. We began to call the list with the strategy that we would take the first one available. It turned out to be a pool house in uptown NO. It would be available until the end of January after which it was committed to a long-term tenant. No problem. Problem. The completion date for the Metairie house slipped to the end of February; it turned out to drag on until the first of April. We heard about a furnished place in the neig
Energy sector starts week on a low note.Oil and gas stocks got off to a shaky start Monday as crude-oil prices fell well below $71 a barrel and the broad market fell 55 points on a negative report on ballooning housing inventories. Early action saw the Amex Oil Index (XOI:1,345.84, -6.71, -0.5%) slump 1% to 1,339 points, tracking a 67-cent, or 0.9%, drop in the October crude-oil futures contract to $70.42 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Among individual shares, Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA:75.00, -1.02, -1.3%) was leading percentage decliners in the oil group, down 1.4% at $74.88, with Hess Corp. (HES: 58.99, -0.10, -0.2%) keeping it company with a 1.4% drop to $58.27. A 5% tumble by the September natural-gas contract weighed heavily on the Amex Natural Gas Index (XNG: 478.09, -7.85, -1.6%) , sending it 1.6% lower to 478 points. Energy traders blamed the weakness on unusually high
Not much went right in the Eagles 29-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The starting offense stalled on their only two drives, and the defense gave up a touchdown on the Ravens first possession. The backups did not fair much better, as poor play, and mistakes filled the rest of the game. The team just appeared flat, and got their butts whipped repeatedly. Luckily it is only the pre-season, because there are many things for the Eagles to improve on.The Good: Brent Celek- The rookie tight end was impressive in his Eagles debut, catching 4 balls for 59 yards, including a nice 30 yard catch and run. It was nice to see some good play from the tight end position, because of the questions about L.J. Smith's health. Celek did have one drop on a short pass from Kevin Kolb.Brodrick Bunkley- While the Eagles defense overall was poor, Bunkley made a few nice plays, and that was good to see. He deflected a pass, made a tackle for a loss, and clogged up the middle on a run play. Matt McCoy- A guy who

The photo in this entry is Tenderness. Photographed and edited by me, Lynda Walldez.The last few days have been pretty hard. A few more situations of crisis came up, but they are all nearly taken care of now. My health has taken a toll as well. So I have not been online for about 3 days, even missing the chance to post this week's Loaded Questions Meme.I have been journaling, and even getting a few sketches done by pencil. Although my photography work is backed up, I have plenty of time to gradually work on it. Hundreds of my photos are waiting to be edited and published online.Besides this update, I don't really have much else to say. I do hope to post more regularly from now on though. :DI encourage comments on my writings. Visit the site to leave your feedback. :D
Pettitte was strong, Pavano’s shaky in Yanks 3-2 loss
In an article from YesNetwork, Associated press reports Pettitte was strong in his outing today and Pavano’s shaky in Yanks loss. Carl Pavano is seeking the consistency Andy Pettitte displayed. Pettitte pitched five scoreless innings before Pavano tossed three shaky ones in the New York Yankees’ 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. "I definitely felt a little funky out there," Pavano said. "I didn’t feel very consistent. That’s what spring training is for. You go through that and you go through the same things during the year."
"He may be just a little flat right now," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "It’s progress. It’s steps forward to me."
Pettitte, who could end up being New York’s No. 1 starter, hasn’t allowed a run in 10 innings this spring.
"It was a tough to day to pitc
