How many Human Shields does it take to screw in a light bulb or to guard civil infrastructure in Iran against an attack by the United States?
While we don't know how many it takes to screw in a light bulb we do know how many have signed on as "Human Shields" and plan to travel to Iran to protect against the evil warmonger, President George Bush.
The myth of Helen of Troy is timeless but certainly not less so than its subject- considered a mythological figure by some and believed to be a historical figure by others. In the days when the gods fought alongside mortal men, she was something of a global beauty (to put it in modern terms). While many wars were fought over her in those days, in present-day Hollywood Helen of Troy has been the subject of a lot of movies. One of the most memorable of this lot is the fairly recent Troy (2004) which starred the German-origin actress Diane Kruger in the role of Helen of Troy. It was a good choice as it made the world sit up and take notice of this one-time ballerina and model. Diane is what most people would term, a stunning beauty. Her face is a makeup artists’ delight and to a pl
The Marino Mission: One Girl, One Mission, One Thousand Words; 1,000 Need-to-Know *SAT Vocabulary Words 1,000 SAT I vocabulary words in a teen-friendly page-turner Say adios to the mind-numbing word lists found in most SAT prep guides: teens will lose themselves in the fast-paced drama of The Marino Mission and emerge with a superior vocabulary. Each year, more than 2 million students take the SAT I. Now, instead of poring over word lists, they’ll encounter vocabulary in the context of a memorable novel–a recipe for much better word retention on test day. One thousand of the most commonly tested vocabulary words are sprinkled through this action-packed story, which features an exotic Latin American locale, a teenage girl and boy, a tale of intrigue surrounding a missing baby dolph
Except for the occasional schmuck, like Nicklebag Joe Arapio when the Maricopa County Sheriff was a Fed, DEA agents are the elite special forces in the Hundred Year War on Drugs. So I was surprised to see the full force of the federal government's Drug War Commandos brought to bear on some San Diego State University frat boy dealers. Kids dealing drugs on college campuses—how unexpected and totally shocking. But it seems this was the case of a pretty face that launched a thousand narcs.The May 7 raid was intentionally held on the one year anniversary of the day nineteen year old Jenny Poliakoff died after partying with her sorority sisters.

When Tata Motors announced the availability of Rs 1 lakh car Nano by October many were left wondering what would be the situation of our already overcrowded roads. But this fear seems not to be a reality in the near past. News is that Tata Motors will be rolling out just 50,000 cars from its Singur plant during 2008–09. Vendors associated with the people's car project told expect an output of around 15,000 units between September and December going up briskly to 35,000 units during January-March of this fiscal. Tata Motors has already announced that the bulk production would only start in 2008–10. Besides its plant in India, Tata Motors has plans to manufacture and assemble Nano cars in South Africa for the African market.

91 a thousand dollars. It was for this price that was bought at auction, in this thursday (10), the photo where the French first-lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, appear naked. In accordance with the Reuters agency, the value surpassed in 20 times the waited one for the auction, that waited offers between 3 a thousand and 4 a thousand dollars. The image, of 1993, was made by the photographer Michel Comte when Bruni still worked as model. The photo of the wife of Nicolas Sarkozy was sold as part of the auction of 140 poses of the German collector Gert Elfering, including workmanships of Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton and Peter Beard.

In Russia 15 to 20 teenagers commit suicide monthly. Surprisingly enough, a few of them do this secretly. All over Russia there are hundreds of websites that will gladly help you to lay hands on yourself. At first glance they seem to be nothing but somebody’s stupid game: more than a thousand peers of 11 to 25 years old spend hours discussing several ways to suicide themselves. This, however, is not a game: all these people are dead serious. They will not just advise you on how to die in a more sophisticated and pleasant way, they will also gladly help you to pop off.
WHINY MEDIA FOCUSES ON THE ARBITRARY The left seeks to demean those who sacrifice allJimmy Z - First, listen up; I want to be perfectly clear here: Every life lost in battle with America's enemies is a tragedy. Every soul who gives his or her life because they love liberty and freedom more than than love their own safety is a hero. Every family that has sacrificed a loved one is in pain, and grieves. Every number, including the number one, is too many.That being said, the leftist media has been on a !@?$&! rampage all day, on television and radio; in the left wing blogs and in the newspapers, about an arbitrary number. The number? Four-thousand. One of our heros fighting terrorist scum overseas has died, and it is the four-thousandth such death in 5 years of fighting.All day, at the
Thousand ancient bones of small humans has been discovered by scientists in the Pacific island nation of Palau. The site indicated that the bones belonged to numerous individuals.Some of the bones are ancient and indicate inhabitants of particularly small size, scientists announced today. The remains are between 900 and 2,900 years old and align with Homo sapiens, according to a paper on the discovery. However, the older bones are tiny and exhibit several traits considered primitive, or archaic, for the human lineage. "They weren't very typical, very small in fact," said Lee Berger, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Link
Close your eyes and think about logos that you associate with products. All of us can name several such products in just a few seconds. The most popular logos for me are the golden arch of McDonalds and the Chevy emblem. Both have stood the test of time, allowed the company's to change with market demands, and stay imprinted in the minds of consumers all over the world. Coming up with a logo for your business can be very difficult. You want it to be original and relative to the type of business you have. You will need to be creative, as well as make sure your logo isn't too similar to that of another product or service on the market.Where to get a logoIf you have a medium or large sized business, you might be able to have the marketing department come up with several ideas for a
Montana's more than two thousand species of flowers and many nonflowering plants may be divided into three somewhat overlapping groups --subalpine, montane, and plains. The subalpine group, characterized by plants that appeared after the recession of the glaciers, or moved in along the mountains from the Arctic, has made the higher altitudes in the northern Rockies famous for their profusion of color in the short midsummer season. When the snowbanks melt and all the flowers bloom at once, the earth is brilliant with glacier lilies, alpine poppies, columbines, white dryads, globeflowers, Indian paint-brushes, asters, and arnicas. The summits are, on the whole, too rigorous for any marked growth of shrubbery, but white and purple heathers, Rocky Mountain laurel, and Labrador teas are present

he Loire Valley is carpeted with fertile fields, crisscrossed by rivers, and studded with hundreds of chateaux in all shapes and sizes. Medieval castles are here because the Loire was strategically important during the Hundred Years' War (when France and England battled through the 14th and 15th centuries). During the Renaissance, pleasure palaces replaced fortified castles as the Loire became fashionable among the Parisian rich and royal.The valley of a thousand chateaux is also the home to many good wines. As you travel through the Loire, look for "Degustation" (tasting) signs. Inquire at tourist centers for winery tour and tasting information. The towns of Vouvray and Chinon have many proud and hospitable family wineries.
If you could reach hundreds of customers in the same time it took you to reach just one, you’d jump at the opportunity, right? And if you could make more money in an hour than elite professional athletes or Fortune 500 CEOs, you’d want to know how, wouldn’t you?

A non-Mennonite friend recently e-mailed me her concern about an article in the Jewish paper based in her region of New Jersey that vilified a recently-opened Ten Thousand Villages store, and by extension, Mennonite Central Committee.The news did not upset me as much as it would have twelve years ago. In 1995, when I began working in the West Bank with Christian Peacemaker Teams, and speaking about what I witnessed there, one American Jew told me dismissively, "Quakers and Mennonites have always been anti-Semitic."This remark pierced my heart. Herald Press had recently published my book, We Are the Pharisees, which detailed a thousand years of murderous treatment of Jews by Christians and examined how Christians had used Jesus" teachings on the Pharisees to justify pogroms and genocide. I really wanted Jews to think well of me.Today, I have many more Jewish friends and family members than I had in 1995 - largely because of my work in the West Bank - and thus feel less upset when att
Nowadays we do not die on the wheel or by fire or sword, but in the thousand small opportunities of giving up our own opinions, our own inclinations and desires, opportunities which, by the goodness of God, are offered to us daily . . . . Those whose mission it was to lead towards Jesus Christ must see to it that no thought of the guide shadowed the vision of the Goal; that the strength imparted must be that strength of God which gives independence of support from man. - Angelique of Port Royal, 1591-1661, E. K. Sanders.-Quoted in "Though the Mountains Shake" by Amy Carmichael.
I've added a photo of myself so that you'll know what I look like. A little late for Halloween which is when I intended to put it up, but still. My friend the Very Successful Blogger insists that this is a Good Thing. I think she's nuts a raving lunatic a little out of touch with what wows 'em in Peoria, but I did it anyhow. I wanted to post a photo of Geekdaddy in his purple boxers, but I was afraid that'd get my blog an even worse rating than the PG one it got with this little widget I got over at Lynn's blog awhile ago:No, I was not drunk in the photo. If I recall, it was morning and I was trying not to laugh as my brother and spiritual advisor, Uncle Wil the Pirate Cowboy Hypnotist, took a photo of Daughter and me in a motel room in Brattleboro, VT where we were ignoring police SWAT and K-9 teams who were having some kind of a conference there.We were getting ready to take Daughter down the road apiece to the Mary Meyer Toy Shop and Museum in Townshend.Come to think of it,
Here's what I learnt reccently; going to Thailand can be considered exotic to some people. It may be true in some sense, I mean I'm sure the land has alot to show of its exotism, just that Bangkok was a little....well, less than expected. When we first touched down, I'd expected warm friendly smiles greeting us at the airport. What we received was however, a rather hostile custom check. I couldn't help but wonder was that a repercussion of a political tension between Singapore and Thailand. You know, i get sensitive about these things. If you really hate someone to the extend of burning their national flag, could you possibly put behind that animosity easily even if it's a year ago. Anyway, throughout the trip I became wary not to reveal our national status. That aside, Bangkok can be a lovely place with beautiful people. I enjoy the cheap taxis rides amidst the heavy traffic jam. Now, we all know how infamous traffic in Bangkok can be. The jam is really something you wouldn't wa
First Presbyterian of Elizabethton knows how to put CHRIST in your Christmas. The Ten Thousand Villages Festival Sale starts at 8 a.m. tomorrow (Saturday, Nov. 17)! Also, Sunday from 1 pm to 3 pm.

Proceeds will go to artisans from countries that have had the crap kicked out of them by "Christ-Centered" corporate interests. This is from the Ten Thousand Villages Website:In the end though, the real definition of our fair trading, and the proof of its effectiveness, is demonstrated in the stories of the artisans we get to know.Maya Halder, a woman who lives in Agailjhara, Bangladesh and makes palm leaf star garlands for Ten Thousand Villages, is a good example of what we strive to accomplish through alternative fair trade.She said this to Anita Fieguth, an MCC volunteer living and working in Bangladesh at the

Did you know that the letter A does not appear in the English spelling of any number lower than “one thousand”? Oh, the trivial gifts the Interwebs give to me.
One thousand. Like, a thousand words, or a Thousand Islands. Or, one thousand posts.
Yes, my bloggy peeps, this is my one-thousandth post. One thousand posts in not-quite 34 months. The mind boggles.
You know, I always wanted to be a writer, and I always knew that I had an easy style when it came to stringing words together — but I always feared I had nothing to write about. *snicker*
And now, in honour of my one-thousandth post, a couple of favourite subjects: Books! Memes! BOOK MEMES!!

I have been meaning to write about my upgrade to my recent dd-wrt router firmware. It added all sorts of geeky goodness normally only available on dumb expensive routers of the Cisco or other high end routers. Time is a commodity I just don't have and El Di Pablo a regular AtA guest blogger and author of Bauer-Power just covered it. Check it out:I got a call at work from my wife yesterday saying that the internet wasn't working. Naturally, I told her to reboot the cable modem and the router.When I got home, she said that the reboot didn't work. So I started fiddling, and checking the usual stuff. Anyway, long story short my router, as we used to say in the Navy, "took a shit."That's right, my el-cheapo D-Link DI-624 was no longer responding to anything, even after a factory reset. All the kings horses and all the king's men couldn't put my D-Link back together again. I figured it was about time. I had that thing for almost three years, and it was the cheapest one in the store at

I forgot to mention that the cause of the accident was unsafe tires. My mom had recently taken the van to Big O Tires, where she requested winter tires. The man assured her that putting snow tires with studs on the back, while keeping regular tires on the front, was perfectly safe. However, everywhere that I’ve been researching this today insists that for safety, the same type of tire should be installed on both axles. As far as the guy advising my mom that what he was installing would be fine, I think it is a case of preferring what is legal, over what is safe. Since my mom was putting studded tires on her car, any employee at a large tire store such as this one should be aware of the dangers of uneven handling.
First Presbyterian Church of Elizabethton is the place to do your shopping for Christimas. We are hosting the Ten Thousand Villages Festival Sale on November 17th and 18th. Here are the details: Fair trade is a growing worldwide movement and Ten Thousand Villages has been leading this movement for over 60 years. We at First Presbyterian Church have been active participants in this worthwhile marketing strategy since the early 1990s, and are responsible for tens of thousands of dollars going directly to the Ten Thousand Villages organization and the artisans with whom it deals. “Green” and “Fair Trade” are partners in kind with “Peace” and Justice.” They are inseparable. When you allow a person, or a village, to use traditional skills to earn living wages from materials that they can acquire locally today and tomorrow and for the foreseeable future, they are going to ensure that their livelihoods are firmly grounded in ecologically sustainable systems. For example,
I've been inspired. By my photography class. By Jeremy's new photo-laden blog and his comment from earlier today. And by Charming and NaBloPoMo. Much like Charming I considered doing the write-a-novel-in-a-month thing, but who am I kidding. I don't have time for that. So, instead, I will post every day in November. When I considered this earlier this week, I balked. I didn't think I could come up
We have seen some people who worry thinking that they do not have the qualities or characters that some particular person have. Such people are always not happy with who they are and what they have. These people always look upon themeselves negatively and develops belief that they are not given anything by the God which are given to others. Such belief doesn't let them to develop the qualities or characters that they have. Actually, the tru fact these people are unable to understand is we all are different from wach other even our relatives in the same family in many ways. That is why this diversities in this world in every respects and fields. Some are businessman, others are scientists, doctors, engineers and so on. It is impossible to calculate in how many ways you are different from others even physically. So, difference in our thoughts,capacity are impossible to know. We all are given our own capacity, quality, character which if you look carefully may not be in others. What wou

Although it is not completely out of character for Ryan to confront Richie with a gun, I was still surprised. The lead up to the shooting was so strange with Annie trying to reconcile with her brother, now only if she will fess up to everyone about her involvement. And I have to add, Ryan is super rich and he doesn’t try and hire someone make Richie disappear- if I were him, I wouldn’t want to get my hands dirty. Anyways Richie is shady and I’m sure some of his prison chums were not fond of him and want him dead. One other thing puzzled me, why, in the preview for Monday’s episode, did Ryan state that Richie was going down for his sister’s murder- you dummy, you pulled the trigger so it would be manslaughter with her blood on your hands.
Adam advising his son on his business and personal life was nice with both of them acting so much like father and son. And how Adam was proud that his son found a backer for his new venture, you could see that he w

The cult of indie rock thrives on the unexpected discovery, and in 1994 Guided by Voices was just the sort of musical phenomenon no one figured was still out there -- 30-something rock obsessives cranking out fractured guitar-driven pop tunes in a laundry room. Robert Pollard and his stable of beer buddies/backing musicians had been churning out stuff like Bee Thousand for years, but the album's surprise critical success marked the first time the group found a significant audience outside their hometown, and it made a clear case for Guided by Voices' virtues -- as well as their flaws. From the moment "Hardcore UFOs" kicks in, it's obvious that Pollard has an uncanny gift for a hook and a melody, and Bee Thousand's 20 cuts are dotted with miniature masterpieces like "Echos Myron," "Smothered in Hugs," and "Queen of Cans and Jars." However, there are also more than a few duds that threaten to cancel out the goodwill the great songs generate, and Pollard is an acquired taste as a lyri
Filmmaking Without a CameraEric over at Camera Stilo had a great post yesterday about how you can still participate in making movies even without what is normally considered the most important element: a camera. His gave up the ghost, and he has come up with a great list of what he (and you) can do in the meantime while it's being repaired. It's a great example of how you can still maximize your time even when you appear to have been dealt a severe setback. I like Eric's thinking and optimistic approach. His entire blog is like this and deserves a read. Check it out.MicroFilmmaker #24 is OutThe online low budget mag MicroFilmmaker has just released their lastest issue. There are lots of good articles (as usual, but what caught my eye was the feature on lighting with no budget and a great editorial called "The Wounds of a Friend", written by editor Jeremy Hanke. It it, he mentions the people who submit their films for review in MF then whine when they don't get their ego stroked. I
Khaled Hosseini, American novelist and physician, is the writer of the bestseller, his debut novel, ‘The Kite Runner’ (2003). ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ was released on May 22, 07. The author and his family migrated from Afghanistan after seeking political asylum. ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ is about two women Miriam and Laila – how their lives are connected later on and they suffer together.The author has portrayed the pitiable condition of women in the society of Afghanistan. Inhuman treatment is meted out to them especially to the characters of Laila and Miriam. Miriam’s mother, Nana too was on the receiving end. The discriminating practice against women – their wearing ‘burqa’ – has also been highlighted. The character that stands out from the rest is that of Miriam. She is an epitome of sacrifice. She proves to be equal to ‘a thousand splendid suns’. The author quotes two lines of poetry:“One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs,or the t
Great minds do not come from Genetics. If it did, we would have heard great things from Albert Einstein, Jr. and all the other Jr's of geniuses from our past. Who knows if Einstein's entire genius did not come from a simple observation when he was 5 years old: Albert's father showed him a pocket compass. Albert then realized that that some force in empty space was moving the needle.
A recent article about some scary future possibilities lends the first half of the title to my present post:TCS Daily, 2 Oct 2007,A Thousand Chinese Einsteins Every YearHumankind may be changed radically by the recently developed technique allowing the safe gathering of thousands of immature eggs from a woman's ovarian tissue. This technique combined with cheap DNA sequencing and embryo selection will soon allow parents to multiply their newborn children's intellectual potential.

Embryo selection gets even more interesting when we consider how a nation such as China might use it. Imagine that

I already wrote earlier this week about how JB racked up his fourth DUI so I am not going to cover it again. I just thought this picture was hilarious because he is obviously wasted. In fact he might just be blacked out. Look at that cigarette. Only someone that is blacked out can defy gravity with a cigarette like that.

Eight selected abstracts from the “Thousand Sketches” are currently for sale on Art Bash, a New Zealand online Gallery and art site.
The selection is not so much a representation as a group that highlights my abstract explorations. It is good for me to see this small pool highlighted in this way. The editions of 25 are all in pigment ink on heavy Hahnemuhle Paper, 13 x 19 inches. They are currently available only through Art Bash (they will be briefly available at the exhibition that is coming up as well).
Have a look at the selection.
Lyrics:
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to

By accident (or frustration) I have something to blog about that I didn't intend to, but darn it, it's just so stupid that someone has to point it out.

…I’d buy a partial interest in your love (as long as it has a good rate of return)…
Once again we are going through a bit of a financial crisis as our moonlighting jobs have gone the way of the infamous dodo, a poor bird that gets blamed for leading many-a thing astray, yet, when it was still in existence, was probably a really nice fowl to know and probably never even tempted a baby to sneeze let alone lead something into non-existence. But, there it is, as such — the bird gets the rap againthe bird gets the rap again. Yolanda’s CD burning job with DC has been farmed out to someone else, my job with BF has been terminated as the company has been sold off, and my involvement with BH, although it didn’t really garner me a paycheck, is also in the process of being truncated as the company is being relinquished to another.
The timing is, of course, like usual, fan-fucking-tastic.
