I had the privilege of watching a potential future president. I’m sure heads are spinning an exploding on the left, trying to figure out how a black man could be so conservative. He’s especially damaging to the left because he sounds intelligent, and he’s not a witch. Watch for yourself.
From what I understand, the speech video was cut off because Obama was having his weekly address. while I understand the respect for the office of the president, I wish the entire video had been made to show in its completion later.
Oh, and happy Valentine’s Day to you all!

Happy VD! Actually this is the pagan feast of lupercalia.
Lupercalia
She-Wolf
Lupercalia is a Roman ritual of purification and fertility dating from such an ancient time that even the Romans of the first century BCE had forgotten its origin and to which Gods it was dedicated and even the meaning of some of its symbolism. (Contrary to Z Budapest’s statements, it was not known whether it was to Faunus and in fact I think it may have been sacred to the more ancient founding Goddess, Rumina, the She-Wolf of Rome.) Central to the ritual is the lustration (light flogging) with a goat skin scourge (see, Gardner didn’t invent it). This was often accompanied by much rowdiness and horse-play. The purpose was the purification of the people from curses, bad luck and infertility. The ritual is performed on February 15. The name of the month comes from the februa, anything used in purifying including wool (used for cleaning), brooms, pine boughs (which make the air sweet and pure), etc.
The rite began in the cave of the She-Wolf in the city of Rome where legend had it that the founders of the city, Romulus and Remus, had been suckled by the wolf before they were found by a shepherd. The sacred fig tree grew in front of the cave. Vestals brought to the site of the sacrifice the sacred cakes made from the first ears of the last years grain harvest. Two naked young men presided over the sacrifice of a dog and a goat. With the bloody knife, their foreheads were smeared with blood, then wiped clean with wool dipped in milk. The young men laughed and girded themselves in the skin of the sacrificed goat. Much feasting followed. Finally, using strips of the goat skin, the young men ran, each leading a group of priests, around the base of the hills of Rome, around the ancient sacred boundary of the old city called the pomarium. During this run, the women of the city would vie for the opportunity to be scourged by the young men as they ran by, some baring their flesh to get the best results of the fertility blessing (you can see why the Christian church tried so hard to get this ritual banned, but it was so popular that it continued for quite some time under the new regime.)
Except for the intrusion of foreign cults, this was the only Roman ritual where a goat was sacrificed. Dogs were only offered to Robigus (a guardian associated with crops), the Lares Praestites (the guardians of community), and Mana Genata (ancestral guardians).
Because of the cave, the fig tree, the milk, and such, I suspect the very oldest forms of this rite honored a Goddess. Unlike some of the other Roman rites like the October Horse sacrifice, there is no other Indo-European equivalent in Vedic, Scandinavian, Irish, or Indo-Iranian traditions.
With modifications, the Temple of Pomona performed Lupercalias and has a great time.

I pulled into the parking lot at work about 6:55 and was listening to the radio and I noticed a car stopped on the main road. Then I noticed a doe and yearling trying to cross, I got my binoculars and watched as they and 7 more of them slowly crossed the road backing up traffic for a block.
Nice way to start the week. ๐ -

The wife of NImord was named Semeramis and she claimed to be a deity. She said that the would prove it by coming back to earth after her death like THIS, and she would make a rabbit deliver eggs. Other names for her are oester, ishtar, Ashtorah and easter. That is where the custom of dying eggs and the rabbit delivering eggs originates. Look long and hard in the Scriptures, Genesis thru Revelation and you will not see eggs associated with any Holy festival.

BANGKOK โ Two Thai Air Force F-16 fighter planes taking part in a joint military exercise with the U.S. have crashed in northeastern Thailand. The pilots safely ejected from their jets.
Air Vice Marshal Montol Suchookorn says an investigation team has been sent to the scene of Monday morning’s crash in Chaiyaphum province. The area is about 220 miles (350 kilometres) northeast of Bangkok.
He said he was unable to confirm reports the jets had collided.
The planes were taking part in Exercise Cobra Gold, an annual joint Thai-US military exercise in which personnel from Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea are also taking part.
The reason the Thai pilots crashed and the American piolots didn’t?
American pilots break ground and fly into the wind! -

It looks like the “freedom for the people” poop is about to hit the whirling blades in Iran.
By publicly endorsing the Egyptian peopleโs rights to hold protests, to be heard and to achieve their freedom, analyst Amir noted on Monday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his regime have exacerbated the problems they now face from their restless people. โHow, after all, it will be wondered, can Ahmadinejad say โyesโ to the rights of the Arab peoples, but deny those same rights to his own people?โ
That terd-nozzle Achma-dinnajackass has been sowing to the wind for quite some time now; the whirlwind, she’s a comin soon!

Good morning, and happy Valentine’s Day to all! I like to focus on the saint for whom this date is named rather than the pagan festival that was usurped by Christianity.
Please keep Cathy and Rocky in your prayers today. Rocky goes in for his cancer surgery; the surgeon agreed that this is probably his last chance at any kind of recovery. His surgery has probably started and will be going on for the next 4-5 hours. I know Cathy is stressed out, and trying her best to be strong for him. This is a sucky Valentine’s Day for both of them.

Texas honors a stealth jihadist. What are these idiots thinking?
http://bigpeace.com/bbarrack/2011/02/14/texas-senate-honors-stealth-jihadist/#more-81856
Gรผlen is the quintessential example of a stealth jihadist. In a sermon, he said the following to Turks in 1999 while exhorting them to overthrow their secular government covertly:
You must move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers โฆ until the conditions are ripe, they [the followers] must continue like this. If they do something prematurely, the world will crush our heads, and Muslims will suffer everywhere, like in the tragedies in Algeria, like in 1982 [in] Syria โฆ like in the yearly disasters and tragedies in Egypt. The time is not yet right. You must wait for the time when you are complete and conditions are ripe, until we can shoulder the entire world and carry it โฆ You must wait until such time as you have gotten all the state power, until you have brought to your side all the power of the constitutional institutions in Turkey โฆ Until that time, any step taken would be too earlyโlike breaking an egg without waiting the full forty days for it to hatch. It would be like killing the chick inside. The work to be done is [in] confronting the world. Now, I have expressed my feelings and thoughts to you allโin confidence โฆ trusting your loyalty and secrecy. I know that when you leave hereโ[just] as you discard your empty juice boxes, you must discard the thoughts and the feelings that I expressed here.

This feels so weird. I am canceling our phone land line. I’ve had this number for over 20 years, but at $40 a month for something that was used primarily by telemarketers, it’s a little expensive to keep. It was being continued as a backup line for our fax machine, but now that we’ve moved to an internet based fax service, that role is no longer needed.
I guess if we have a disaster, we’ll be like everyone else and have to wait for cell service to be reinstated.

The AT&T guy just offered me a $7/month rate, $12 after taxes for a limited use line for emergencies. I explained that his company failed to mark a phone duct which we then hit in the course of business, and AT&T sued us for damages, AND that my hubby went a little ballistic every time he thought about me paying their phone bill. The guy at the other end laughed and said he understood then.
I know this is being recorded….

#34 #35 I’ve been trying to convince myself to do that. It’s completely illogical to have a sentimental connection to 10 digits just because I’ve rented them for 23 years. But here I am, paying $40/month for a number I don’t get calls on except from the NRA, Purple Heart and PACs. Magicjack is now beta testing porting of phone numbers. I may wait until that becomes available. $20/year is better than $400/year.

Been Thar done that! I hated getting rid of the phone because during a hurricane it NEVER goes down, ( but I’ve only needed it three times in 28 years). So last fall I pulled the plug, stopped paying abiut $28 bucks a month to listen to telemarketers and folks begging for money, NEVER a call from someone I knew. The bad thing about it was 1/2 the cost was TAXES!

Oh and I should add that the Wife has a land line at her office (one) and has been using the internet FAX for years, she likes it because she can access it from home, Alabama or on the beach at Florida.

Katfish –
We don’t have an “internet modem fax” thing. We’ve signed up with Nextiva (use my name if you decide to use them – they have a referral program. I can get you my “real name” should you need it.). Our new fax number goes to their server, which converts the file into a PDF and emails it to me. We’re on their basic plan – $5.00/month (paid annually) for 500 pages, with 3 cents a page for overage. We can sort the incoming faxes to different email accounts, which will come in handy for screening our marking responses from utility companies from our other company business. We can get alerts on our phones or email that we have faxes waiting, or we can simply go to our email and take ’em down when we’re ready.
We have no fax machine any more, and our old fax number will be ported to the new fax account in a week or so. When the porting is complete, I’ll cancel that number, also. The only land line we’ll have then is our main business number.
Oh – and you can connect your existing fax machine, also.
It’s a brave new world.

A bit sad since we lost our beloved Valentine kitty last year, but little Mariposa is trying to make up for that. As usual, spouse and I exchange a funny cards and mushy cards. This is our 46th Valentine’s Day, 47th if you include the year we were engaged. The roses he brought home Friday are still beautiful, Valentine brunch with friends at a country restaurant yesterday was fun, and we actually can have the windows open today.
#41 Hamous, Isn’t this what is called texting?

IIRC, it was a study done by some outside group. Keep in mind that the Japanese high-speed rail and French TGV are fairly large networks. The study showed that only one line on each network turned a profit.That would be like saying Southwest Airlines only makes a profit on its Houston-Dallas flights and the rest of its network routes are money holes. Also that SWA requires extensive gov’t subsidies to keep flying.

Yesterday I was watching Motorweek on channel 8. They were giving out their annual awards. I’m sure you can guess what car won their “Best in Show” or “Greatest Car of All Time” or whatever they call it award.
But it got me to thinking about our normal summer time flash floods that happen dozens of times every summer. What happens to the Wonder Car when it drives through flooded streets? Turns out they ran some tests and it seems to do okay … on a new car. But what happens after you’ve driven it around a pot-hole filled city for a few years? Who wants to be sitting on top of a giant, high current, high voltage battery underneath Hwy 59 during a deluge?

It’s a well known fact that high speed rail is far less efficient/effective than aircraft are at producing chemtrails.

Also, I think the Volt uses synchronous electric motors, one on each wheel. I bet that would cost a pretty penny to replace/repair.
And how come, if laughter is pronounced “laffter”, daughter isn’t pronounced “daffter”?

Yahoo, Chris! Tedtam was correct with her report that Chris Baker would on the air on 700 KSEV. Sure surprised me. He is Dan Patrick’s alternate for the 4-6 show when Dan is busy in Austin.

#33 TT Land Line
If you haven’t cancelled it yet, consider changing to metered service. When I switched to metered service 15 years ago, it was about $12/mo. Now it’s about $22/mo. It gives me some number of calls per month for flat rate, then a small charge for calls over the limit.

Here’s what I’m wondering: 2 weeks ago we were subjected to rolling blackouts because a coupe of plants had a water leak. Obviously we’re running pretty close to capacity. How do these idiots plan to charge several million vehicles each day? Are they really that clueless?

Yes, I think that Mr. Berry’s numbers may be going up. I liked Jerry Doyle when he sat in for Dan. And that Woolsey? Wooley? guy that used to sit in? I would have preferred either of those two.
Just don’t ever bring back “Liftoff to Logic”. All those shows ever became were reunions of old military jet pilots.

It’s days like today that make me remember what a lucky man I am. I have a lovely bride that never gripes, always happy, cleans the house, cooks, does my laundry, runs my errands and never is upset with me about anything. Come Christmas, birthdays and Valentine’s Day, she never gets mad when I don’t buy her thousands of dollars of jewelry!!! She would prefer an Elvis poster!! Man, have I got it made or what??? To the love of my life whom I am so grateful that she still remains to be my wife!!!!

I’ve missed quite a bit on the hamster blogs. They’re still going strong tand that makes me happy.
Thursday afternoon I was in my workroom and right after a co-wroker said, “hello, Mr. Zechiel” as if the audio part of my brain suddenly powered down about 90%. It was like coming to after passing out only I didn’t pass out. I was standing and getting done what I wanted to get done. Besides not hearing sounds, I couldn’t talk. I knew what I wanted to say; but just couldn’t move those thoughts from my brain to my mouth. Iraonically, it was stikingly like this. Weird that that report just came out. On my way out of the workroom I wanted to tease a collegue of mine whom I always pump into at the same time, “enjoy the workroom” as I was al;ready finished with my tasks by the time she got there that day. I had to grut and struggle just to get those simple words out.
Weirded out by that event I got to my room, placed all my stuff down and out of curiosity popped up a news site just to see if I can read out loud the titles. I couldn’t. Then there was a sudden tingle in my head which rushed to my hands and then around my mouth. I got out of my room and headed for the on campus nurse to ask her expertice.
By the time I got there I could talk cohesively which was a relief in and of itself and most of the tingly feeling had resided. I told her what happened and only sought her knowledge. She said what things sound like are TIA. I forget what that means which I shouldn’t since I’ve heard it a few dozen times over the past few days. The nurse said that TIA are stroke-like symptoms but not a real stroke. She said they can come and go. She also said that it couild be triggered by high blood pressure. She asked to taker me blood pressure and I said, “of course”. The nurse’s stared in amazement as she looked at he instrument and said, “Mr. Zechiel, you have the highest blood pressure I’ve ever read.” “Really,” I asked increduously. “Yes”. I looked at it was like 199/137. She took it four more times and the average was around 195/135. She said I had to go to the ER pronto I was still incredulous but, of course, never doubted her words. The ambulance came and off went Mr. Z.
All test to detect red flags came up negative. I have good arteries, heart, and no bleeding on the brain. I do have infarcations (sp?) which my understanding is that parts of my brain are dead from a lack of blood. I asked the doctor if that could impede memory and he said yas. Over the years I thought it was getting tougher and tough for me to recall info. Many times I’d outright forget to do something needed to get done.
But in the totality of things, I checked out fine. I need to watch the blood pressure and I’m now on meds for that. We were blessed in that the meds I need are available cheap. Like one of those $6 drugs for a month’s worth. Sooner or later I’ll motivate myself to get out of the house and brisk walk in the morning or something. That’ll be good for the blood. If I get real ambitious I may even start a running routine. Nothing like my glory years but good enough to ciruculate the blood.
Things are good now. I got back from the hospital Friday night and decided to relax the last few days. That alone’s made a world a difference. Taxes are coming up so i’ll be hitting that soon. I don’t know when I’ll be coming back to post regularly but I want to let you all know that I love you all. You’re a good bunch of folks to associate with. Besides family and immediate friends and specific people at work who asked, you folks are the first for me to share this with.
Take care you all and God speed.

Darren – once you get the BP under control, you should start to feel better. I had some job-related stress a couple of months ago and mine shot up. I’ve gotten to where I can tell if it’s gotten a little high and I can pretty quickly take care of things. You need to do the same.
prayers are on your way.

I’ve regimented my sleep time to no past 11:00 so here goes a quick reply.
To all, thabnkl you very much for your sympathies, prayers, and offers. I know they are all most sincere and I take them to heart. God is our loving Heavenly Father and He does hear the sincere prayers of His children. His will be done.
I’ve improved a lot since the hospital stay. Lowering my blood pressure with meds has been like part of my brain opening up and breathing for the first time in a long time. I can think clearer without my memory getting clogged up so easily. At this point, all sodas are out. That includes Mountain Dew. Caffeine withdrawl heahaches are PAINFUL those first two days but much better the third and nearly gone by the fourth. Bacon will be moderated a lot and more fruits and veggies will be seing my plate.
That’s my plan as of right now. I’ll be enjoying much more of the bountiful goodness God has blessed this earth to produce.
Thank you again for all the well wishes. May God’s peace rest upon you all.
