I seem to have some bad luck when it comes to contests. A year or more ago I tried to give away a Cars DVD and the first winner chosen did not answer my emails. Last month, I offered a free blog design to someone who subscribed to my RSS feed. Again - the winner [...]
Why won't my oven heat to the proper temperature?
It takes forever for our oven to heat up to the proper temperatures. My gas bills have skyrocketed due to this issue. I am considering going to electric because of this. HELP!!!
If the rumors are false, Why doesn’t the Obama campaign just come out and say so? It’s pretty weak when all Michelle Obama can muster is the “Don’t trust bloggers because people lie” comment she made on Monday.
I’ve been waiting and waiting to comment on this and see if the Michelle Obama “Whitey” video tape [...]
From the Vets For Freedom website:
1) Senator Obama has never met, one-on-one, with the Commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus.
2) Senator Obama has not visited Iraq, and our brave troops on the ground, in over two years. His last visit to Iraq was January 2006, and he was there for less than [...]
In an article well worth reading yesterday at the Weekly Standard, Stanley Kurtz asked the question of what did Barack Obama know about the controversial views and statements of his friend, mentor and pastor of twenty...
If the majority of Christians are liberals who don’t hate women, gay people, atheists and non-Christian theists, why don’t liberal groups severe ties with their overlords who do?
Why is it that it’s always the conservatives who are willing to put their asses where their mouths are?
For reasons unknown to many of us, Nintendo choose not to promote their games heavily. In fact, they often choose not to promote them at all. My take on it is that Nintendo think that they can put out a game with little to no promotion and it will sell millions regardless, because they know the leigon of Nintendo fans that exist in the world will buy it. You and I know this is the case and for the past 2 decades it has worked in Nintendo's favour. But this needs to change.Nintendo need to expand their reach outside that of the Nintendo fanbase and they can't do that unless they promote their games properly. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption's promotion was an absolute joke. A preview channel that came too late, no playable demos before release and a whack advert that was targeting the wrong crowd. Super Mario galaxy was a chance for Nintendo to do right and whore the game out like Bungie did to Halo. I'm talking Mario Mini coopers, Mario Coca Cola, Mario Skittles, Air force one galaxies
When asked to renounce the following if elected: torture; signing statements; detentions of US citizens as enemy combatants; illegal spying on American citizens; executive privilege as a shield against oversight; prosecuting journalists; using secret evidence; suspending habeas corpus; etc, ONLY ONE candidate agreed to sign. Is it any surprise?read more | digg story
Man, a teenager owns his ass and he still won’t just disappear.
I realize this is all over the net now, but its till makes me want to put the “I Hate Bill O’Reilly” page back up… there I just did it.
Watch:
That was almost as disgusting a display of the stereotypical “ugly-American”, as the “Paris Hilton gets out of jail” fiasco. Thank god for K.O.!!
Bill is such an ass. I’m gonna see if I can drum up some code to make a hand come out of Bill’s monitor and slap him like a bitch every time he tries to open his mouth.
In the meantime, we will have to rely on Olberman to be our resounding voice of disdain for Billdo and all that keep him on the air.
How do you know if your plants are getting enough light? As a general rule look at the foliage. It should be a light grassy green. Lush dark green foliage is nice to look at, but it means your plants are not getting enough light. Leaves should also be turgid and firm on phals, cattleyas, and dendrobiums. Mottled leaved paphs should show good color contrast on the leaves- see our paph culture page for more details. If your plants are not getting enough light move them closer to the window. Yes, even a foot can make a huge difference as light falls off very rapidly within increasing distance from a window. During the summer months place plants outdoors in dappled shade if you can. Whenever you move plants into brighter conditions always do so very gradually as you risk burning the leaves. Lastly, remember to only grow plants suited to your conditions to avoid disappointment. I just saw some beautiful vandas in bloom at the grocery store! Vandas are very difficult to grow in the home an
Beginners are often frustrated by a seemingly healthy plant that refuses to flower. This section is intended primarily for growers who wish to re-bloom their orchids, especially paphiopedilums (tropical slippers), phalaenopsis (moth orchids), oncidiums (dancing dolls) and dendrobiums (phalenopsis types) and related orchids. Don't worry if you don't recognize the names-these cover the majority of orchids easily available. Its assume that your plants are healthy with lots of new leafy green growths and good roots. If you don't have a healthy plant, don't expect it to flower! Sometimes weakened plants, such as moth orchids will bloom prolifically, but this will be their swan song and they will die soon after. Grow plants right well and blooms will follow. If you're not getting blooms AND your plants are healthy, read on.. Here are the main reasons orchid will not bloom and what you can do about it. One or more reasons may apply to you:#1. GIVE YOUR ORCHIDS ENOUGH LIGHT Most fl
On the 16th the worst academic shooting took place at Texas Tech. 32 people are now dead. This has happened so many times before it is getting stupid. Can't people see that guns do not protect people? A gun culture and an unstable individual can never be a good combination. Why don't people learn? As the great Jewish folkie Bob Dylan asks:"How many times must the cannon balls fly before they're forever banned...how many deaths will it take till he knows/that too many people have died?" Please G-d don't let this happen again.Amen."May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer" (Psalm 19:14)
Children's blood is made of energy, I swear it on my life. I have children who don't go to sleep foooooorever. It could be my fault...Their bedtime is anywhere from 7:30 to 8:30 at night. I think that's way to early. BUT. They are usually cranky and mopey by then, so I do the good thing, by putting them in their rooms and wishing them a goodnight. THEN..They start to get hyper, they start to play with each other, talk through the walls, and the air vents, and laugh and giggle with glee. Ok it's cute, yes. Only for the first hour or so. If it goes on any longer then that, I get a little irritated under the skin, because by then I want peace and quiet. I'm selfish in that, sue me. I do my room rounds cuddling them back in pleading with them in a sneaky way to go to sleep, yes ok all is fine and dandy. I close the doors, walk out of the hall, make it to the kitchen, which is about ten steps away. What do I hear? You guessed it laughter and jumping around. Ok now it gets a bit irritat
Dessert may be a guilty pleasure, but red velvet cake feels like a crime. The recipe alone stains our conscience with 2 ounces of artificial color—that's two squeeze bottles of FD&C Red No. 40 emptied in your mixing bowl. Some bakers wear gloves to keep the shameful dye off their skin; others scrub at the damned spots with lemon and nail polish remover. It's enough to make a foodie blanch.
