Luckily, we have a justice system where liberal....<br /><br />Luckily, we have a justice system where liberal judges with delusions of grandeur can be reversed on appeal. The case ultimately made its way through system and up to the Supreme Court. There in a unanimous 9-1 ruling the lower court ruling was reversed with Chief Justice Roberts writing the final ruling.<br /><br />The opinion pointed out that <br /><br />1. The purpose of the belt was 'solely to provide constraint for those who could not ordinarily be constrained by gravity.'<br /><br />2. That extensive testing did in fact prove that the belt did meet that objective.<br /><br />3. That adequate warnings were provided in English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and pre-historic Swedish that included the specific warning "Do not wear while swimming."<br /><br />(The court did point out that the warnings were admittedly small yet still met the required legal standard for size, just barely.)<br /><br />Evidence that became known after the original lower court decision included <br /><br />1. The original drowning victim was a Swedish English major and thus could not be expected to understand normal instructions. (Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, in a separate minority opinion did suggest that the defendant, <i>Souls-R-Us, Inc</i> develop some type of pictograph as a possible solution to what she termed the "Swedish Problem".)<br /><br />2. Evidence of possible bribery and corruption also surfaced when documentation was presented that showed the judge in the original case had accepted a windrow of alfalfa and a counterfeit first edition of Whitman's <i>Leaves of Grass</i> Anonymous-Bob Boobie, a farmer with a checkered past. Boobie was a known criminal and charlatan who often walked by pleading <i>non compos mentis</i>, a defense prosecutors often found impossible to argue against. Boobie was the accused perpetrator of numerous schemes to swindle the entire <i>Souls-R-Us</i> empire from a Mr. Quirk, entrepreneur and philanthropist, who had once tried to befriend Boobie when he was homeless and in dire need of a friend. (When asked about the case and Boobie, Mr. Quirk could only shake his head as he slowly walked back to his limosine.) <br /><br />The judge swore the gifts were a bar mitzvah gift for her daughter. When it was pointed out to the judge, Stella O'Hara, that a bar mitzvah was for a son not a daughter and that neither she, nor her husband, nor her daughter were Jewish, she responded, "I know that. Don't you think I know that." Then she was whisked away by her attorney. <br /><br />Boobie laughed off the incident and stated that he was a member of AIPAC and that the whole matter was a misunderstanding. (According to a Washington Post article, investigators who checked on Boobie's story found that while he had applied for membership with AIPAC, the application is still being withheld two years later. AIPAC officials refused to say why.)<br /><br />A grand jury has been convened to investigate whether criminal charges should be brought in this Boobie/O'Hara affair.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-43323119416126109792013-08-18T04:50:41.531-04:002013-08-18T04:50:41.531-04:00Quirk was also ordered by the Court never to sell,...Quirk was also ordered by the Court never to sell, give, loan, rent, advertise, write about, nor mention in speech his infamous 'gravity belts' again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-67251260673933965382013-08-18T04:48:28.546-04:002013-08-18T04:48:28.546-04:00"No, well then try our new 'Gravity Belt&..."No, well then try our new 'Gravity Belt'.

"...<br />'Twas Julian of Norwich, from the ago:<br /><br /> "Sin is behovely (useful or necessary), but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well"<br /><br />Her great saying, "Sin is behovely (useful or necessary), but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well," reflects her theology on sin. Sin is necessary, she argues, "because it brings us to self-knowledge—knowledge of our own fallibility—which in turn moves us to seek God."[7] It is considered to be one of the most individually famous lines in all of Catholic theological writing, and certainly one of the most well-known phrases of the literature of her era. It was quoted in T.S. Eliot's "Little Gidding," the fourth of his Four Quartets. To Julian, sin is "all that is not good," which includes the suffering of Jesus. She taught that humans usually fall into sin out of naïveté and ignorance not out of wickedness. Our mistakes cause us to humbly seek God. She says then, that sin is necessary, or "behovely," as life is a school where we learn from our mistakes.<br /><br /><br />Life is a school.

I anticipated no problems landing as I maneuvered towards some scrub vegetation that could provide cover. The next thing I know the was a blinding white light and I became completely disorientated. The next moment I thought I heard a whispered <i>Rosebud</i> and then everything went black.<br /><br />I would occasionally start to regain consciousness. There was that same white light, some giggling, that probe...oh god...the probe...and then I woke up in Ely staring into the face of two jokers who both looked like they had been rode hard and put to bed wet.<br /><br />I now have a new wingsuit, a supply of KY jelly, and I'm goin in.

I mean... we've called them variously "Atlantians" and, I suppose, "Little Green Man from Mars", but that was Egypt, and so therefore, to me, they're Egyptians." <br /><br />He says there is no way the pyramids were intended to be tombs for Pharaohs. <br /><br />"They've never found bodies in them. There's no single mark that identifies the pyramids as the tomb of any particular Pharaoh and, to the extent that in some of the pyramids bodies were later found, I think these structures were probably used as tombs by people who came later. I think that whoever created these structures used something that we don't know [about]." <br /><br />Robert Bauval revealed how, at the dawning of the Age of Leo, the air shafts in the Great Pyramid point directly to the stars of Orion. Boris continued to point out how the Sphinx looks like a lion, "its got to give you some indication that the people back then knew something we don't know."<br /><br />Richard adds that we are the descendants of these architects of the Egyptian monuments, whoever they were. He notes that when he first began his research into the Face on Mars in 1983, he remembers the almost unanimous reaction of archeologists when they were shown unidentified pictures of the Martian anomalies. <br /><br />"The answers ranged from Hanuman, the Indian monkey god, to an aerial view of some pyramid complex in Egypt.. Initially looking at these things, I was thinking in terms of aliens, in terms of other, in terms of visitors to the solar system who had erected a stunning artificial complex on Mars.... Over the ensuing 15 years... my thinking has come perhaps 180º and in good measure because of... John West, Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval." <br /><br />Richard began wondering about the possibilities that the anomalies an Mars perhaps could indeed be related to the monuments in Egypt.<br />Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-58730483601680612002013-08-18T03:12:53.284-04:002013-08-18T03:12:53.284-04:00Chef Poon Discusses 52nd Annual Watermelon Festiva...Chef Poon Discusses 52nd Annual Watermelon Festival At Rose Bowl!<br /><br />STUDIO CITY (KCAL9) — When do you go at red and stop at green?

The IBM personal computer..."About Ibm Computer<br />The IBM personal computer launched a revolution when it was released in August 1981. For almost a decade, the term 'personal computer' had been used freely in industrial technology circles to describe complex calculating machines in a general sense. IBM turned this phrase into a multi-billion dollar market. IBM's breakthrough was the result of the passionate work of 12 programmers, who were led by the visionary designer, Don Estridge.Instead of going through normal company development channels, the group of 12 cannibalized parts from other machines and systems and constructed the first PC within a year. The success of so-called Project Chess catapulted IBM computers into the lead of the race for the home computing market. By 1984, IBM computers were utterly dominant.That said, other companies, such as Compaq, borrowed IBM's concept of open source retro-engineering. In November 1982, Compaq came out with a new personal computer which looked very much like IBM's PC. Partially in response to Compaq's copycat move, IBM adopted a policy of purposely crippling its lower end PCs to encourage consumers to invest in pricier models. This so-called 'rationalizing' tactic backfired and forced many consumers over to lesser well-known brands, such as Apple.Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, IBM repeatedly ignored partnerships with entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. As a result of IBM's obstinate policies, smaller firms, like Microsoft and later Dell Computer, jumped way ahead of the company and cornered the personal computing market. That said, IBM wasn't totally defeated. Today, it manufactures some really top-notch PCs and laptops."<br /><br />They do?Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-18155040121262550632013-08-18T02:40:49.766-04:002013-08-18T02:40:49.766-04:00Goddam no see em ants got in the screen and destro...Goddam no see em ants got in the screen and destroyed it.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.com
