KopBusters Article and Video
It's about time someone catches the dirty cops doing what many have suspected them doing for the longest time. Finally, someone is doing something to try and rein in our local governments and their often underhanded ways of finding suposed "illegal activity".
Now I know that not all local governments do these sorts of things but I'm sure it goes on more frequently than most are aware. After a friend and his family had their house raided by Homeland Security for suposedly having illegals living in his basement (if you knew these people you'd know how insane that'd be). I really have little to no faith in not only our local gov't but our overall gov't to look out for our best interests.
I'm tired of our rights being taken away and the police /Homeland security searching our houses, records, lives without anyone taking them to task. All under the guise of terrorist and protecting our country. 99% of what they spew is fear mongering and bullcrap! Too bad Americans haven't wisened up to these facts yet. I hope KopBusters keeps it up and awakens the public to the abuses of our governement. Small steps help, never think that anything you do to expose corruption is too small. Grass roots efforts do make a big different but apathy helps no one.

Zelli update
Well I haven't written much here in a bit as the past few months have been pretty crazy. For those of you who read my blog once in a while check out the new one I started for our miracle baby who's still in the NICU.
Zach's Baby Blog, tales from the NICU
The pregnancy, NICU visits and pumping milk for him keep me pretty busy.
Hopefully I'll feel better soon and be able to be online more and maybe blog a bit more until then enjoy Zach's baby blog.

What to do with voters for Clinton...
I'll be the first to admit I voted for Hilary in the primary and was sad to see she got the popular vote but didn't get enough delegates. Will I be voting for Obama no.. Not no but Hell no. It has nothing to do with race/religion etc. It has to do with the principals the running mates stand for. She has history, prominence, has been through the whitehouse once and knows the drill. What does Obama offer? Biden! Please....
Spare me.
So I guess I'll be "throwing my vote away" and voting for the 3rd party candidate assuming he's even on the ticket "Ron Paul". I've heard so many things that say he's not or is on the ticket I'll just wait on election day.
In the end due to our flawed election system our votes don't count anyway. The Electoral college ultimately decides. A throwback to the early days when states couldn't communicate quickly. Well heads up America it's all pretty much instant communication these days. So why exactly do we still use the Electoral College? Becuase those in power want it that way, that means they get to stay in power and they get to decide "Not you" who gets elected.
Until Americans stop being complacent and actually caring about causes BIGGER than themselves this will not change. We're "fat and happy" in America and who cares if everyone's getting screwed, neighbors are losing their homes and CEO's are getting record paychecks. As long as we're not being directly affected who cares. Sad thing is we ARE being directly affected people just don't realize it yet. Little by little we're losing our rights and don't laugh but the US Gov't is just itching to put microchips in you and your children. It's only a matter of time.
I'm sure they'll come up with some security reason on why to chip everyone. Instead of saying well we can give you a card with a chip in it (btw all new passports, US Id cards etc have microchips in them already) they'll use some excuse that they need to be able to verify a person's identity w/out having their documents on them. There will be some huge security breech, something will blow etc and they'll use it as one more nail in the coffin of why chips are needed. Maybe they'll start having illegal immigrants start looking incideous and evil and make them out to be some sort of non-human species. Ohh we must verify that you're in fact a true US citizen so we must chip you from birth lol. It's coming just wait.
Central America is looking better and better every day even with all their problems ROFL.
Viva America .. erm I mean China. Don't think that Goggle only filters stuff for China the US/British etc govt's ask them to use that technology for the US citizens too. Censorship is everywhere most people just don't realize it.
Just like prohibition didn't work many years ago, censoring and neutering the Internet won't work either! People wake up, fight for your rights or you'll lose them slowly 1 by 1. Unless you like the idea of living in a world like Gattica or Aldus Huxley's "A Brave New World". I don't doubt the rich would like it ... but us regular schmoes wouldn't be very happy.

Messages from a dead man...
Going through my email and what do I see?
Messages from a man who had died,
Old mail, a remnant of the man,
A simple letter, an update of his Holiday,
Slightly rambling, a hint of his mind,
This is what remains,
Of man from the grave.

To miss someone so deeply...
This is a blog post of a more personal note. One of great loss. This time of year is always one of great sadness. I lost my father a few years ago around this time and as much as I try to stay positive as I'm sure he'd want me to be it's so hard. I spent years trying to get to him for him to die only a few years after I moved to be closer to him.
So some thoughts on great loss and this does not necessarily refer to those in the afterlife this can be people still living.
Have you ever missed someone so deeply you re-live every moment with them almost to the point of wondering are you obsessed?
The feeling of loss that comes with the remembrance of once was is nearly as painful as if you lost a limb. Often thoughts of wishing for amnesia would happen as to not have to remember what one had and lost. The saying so true rings forever in your head "You don't know what you have until you lose it". There is no solace for the loss. There are some losses that even time does not weaken. You would think after a few years it would get easier. Sadly, no this at least in my case has not been true. The feeling of a lost soul mate is so deep that it's terribly painful. To see the photos of the person to feel their soul touching yours but not being able to communicate is a most horrifying experience.
I try to not think of these things for one cannot change how others feel or those who've died to bring them back. We must accept what life has delt us, although this does not make it any easier to cope. There aren't enough support groups in the world to help one thorugh this.
It's a personal battle...
I find no matter how distracted I try to make myself still my mind doesn't let go as if the other soul is trying to reach out to me over the vastness of space. That's what makes this difficult, being one that is empathetic in nature that of the 6th sense type. To FEEL another soul.. not just know of its existence to have felt, mingled, been drawn into another soul so deeply. That's the loss that shakes you to your very core. To not have that soul so near anymore, no contact etc. I truly hope these feelings don't last forever because eternity longing for another soul is truly painful and worse than Hell I'd imagine. So for any of you out there who may have lost someone dear to you, so dear that it's hard to imagine no contact with them I feel your pain.
My best advice is to send positive thoughts their way. Take each day a bit at a time, try to keep positive thoughts and remember everything happens for a reason. If it were meant to be that you'd be with the other person or them still living then they would be or there would find a way. This is hard to accept as we humans being quite rebellious in nature. Perhaps that's the lesson here... how much not in control of our fate we are.. there's a path for us to take depending on what we choose there are still paths. Not saying everything is set in stone there is still free will however, we as humans seem to end up in some state that was meant to bed either way. We can take the direct course or the long one how we get there is our business.
Don't let loss rule your life, don't let it overpower who you are. Remember who you are and don't let loss define you. Loss does change a person but how it changes us is up to us!

No Christianity but Islam is ok ...
Requiring the teaching of Islam in California school
I'm not against Islam let me just make that clear up front. The radicals sure I'm very against them and everything they believe in and or do.
My issue with what this California school is doing is that they are trying to squelch Christianity and promote Islam. Where is the separation of school and religion. They want to poo poo teaching anything about Jesus and the Christian faith but say ok to a 3 week intensive course on Islam?
I dunno when I was in 7th grade during World History we learned about all the world's main religions. It was a very generic overview and quite interesting. By no means were we required to take "Islamnic names", wear robes and a few other crazy things this school requires for this intensive 3 week course.
Honestly I'm appalled that this school board even thinks this is "Acceptable" if my child went to that school I'd be suing them. For all the frivolous law suits this one would be worthy. People fought in courts to get Christianity removed from the classroom. That should include all relgions! Keep religion out if you want it out that means ALL religions not the ones that aren't politically correct or popular at that time.
I'm ashamed to share a country with a school board and educators think this is acceptable. There are islamic schools in our country that's where that kind of stuff should be done. The kids can choose to go to those schools or parents to send their kids there if they want that for them. That should not be FORCED on anyone in public schools. You don't see bible study of the Christian bible required in public schools. There are various religious schools where that would be acceptable.
So fine you want a 3 week Islamic course where bizzarre things are required I want a 3 week bible study on the Christian bible and they are forced to take biblican names. You're no longer Rhadika you're now Sarah! You're no longer Zach you're going to be Jacob! Make em wear sandals and a crown of thorns! Now if this was happening you'd have every person out there yelling and screaming. Why is it ok if this is Islamic teaching but not ok for Christian?
When you're done doing 3 weeks on Chrisianity lets do 3 weeks on Hinduism!
And then 3 weeks on Satanism as much as we don't want to admit there's a large religioius following here to. Lets not forget Scientology!
Soo my point is you cannot force a 1 sided religious view like that w/out doing the same for every other major religion out there.
This is rediculous .. all of it plain and simple. Pull your heads out of your asses and be the educators without bias you trained to be.

When will the madness end?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071130/ap_on_re_af/sudan_british_teacher;_ylt=Ane39JdAiO_k.vvc81tX1kms0NUE
So what will it take for these eccentric and apparently brain washed people to wake up? Does Jesus need to come back and say .. hello .. I'm the true prophet blasphemy to those who worship another.
I know many of us in the civilized world would like to believe this kind of stuff doesn't happen but it does and far too often. We heard about this one but only becuase she's a British citizen. What of those who live in that country and are executed on spot and no one ever hears?
When I read things like this it makes me ashamed to be a part of the same human race as these evil animals. I have to wonder if they're not all demon possessed. My only solace is in the fact that either kharma or judgement day will see justice for all whom they've wronged.

Men, what would you do?
Hypotehtical question:
You're with a woman and you're into some hot and heavy petting.. she has a massive stroke and dies in your arms. You're all aroused and hard as a rock. Do you continue to do her .. or call 911?

Healthcare in America Flawed, that's a given!
Sicko a Healthcare Documentary
I'm not a fan of Michael Moore .. however, this documentary is worth watching. If you think our experience is great with healthcare think again. The movie is Sicko and it's available for viewing free on the Internet.
My personal experience with what he describes has been felt many times, even recently.
I personally, can't find a doctor that will take my insurance (ironically, through the Medical School I work) to look into thyroid issues that run in my family and I believe I have. I may never know if I have them becuase I cannot afford to pay cost for a specialist. Most doctor's won't accept Blue Cross Blue Shield (UT Select). I work in a world class Medical Center and cannot find a doctor to look into my medical issues all due to my insurance I and my employer pay hundreds of $$ every month.
A few years ago...
I was uninsured once and got a bought of food poisioning and had to go to the emergency room for immediate care. The bills were close to $7,000 and before I could even see a doctor the billing department made my husband negotiate how much we would put down before I was seen by doctors. We decided to use some of our rent money that month to put down $100 so I could be seen by a doctor. I was so ill I would have promised nearly anything in order to be seen. I remember they informed us that we had to put down no less than 100$ or I would not be seen by the emergency staff.
Socialized medicine isn't the evil communist construct we've been lead to believe. Just wait till you or a family get cancer or need some invasive proceedure your health care provider doesn't feel is medically necessary.

Appalling... using Trade Center Human Remains as pot hole filler..
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/03/24/2007-03-24_911_remains_fill_potholes_worker_claims.html
I might add when you do a search on yahoo/google a lot of the Reuters news stories /etc have been mysteriously .. removed. A cover up?
Plain and simple if they knew there were remains they should be cremating them and or making them into some kind of memorial. Pot hole filler is not an proper place for remains EVER!

France Opens UFO Files for last 50 years ...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070322/wl_afp/sciencespaceufo;_ylt=Ah6DMhNjY_BL.YrU81de1g7MWM0F
Well ... we can only hope other governments will follow suit. I find this very interesting.
One thing that's funny is the fact they didn't have the foresight to make the hosting servers a bit more robust or go with multiple hosting. I mean geeze.. lessee.. "I'm a major country and I'm going to open my UFO files to the world online. This is something that's never been done before. Maybe we should get a robust system to host these important files because nearly the entire online community would want to see the site."
Lol ... So Duuuuuuuuuuuuhh yah the servers crashed shortly after the site went live. Numnuts.

Health Insurance... sometimes pretty worthless
Ok this is a rant so if you don't want to read a rant move on.
So I have UT Select (Blue Cross Blue Shield) PPO. This means I don't need a PCP and I can go to whomever I wish w/in network. So I'm looking for a specialist in Endocrinology for Thyroid issues. You'd think that'd be pretty easy to find hell there's hundreds of doctors in this speciality in the Med Center where I work. Try there's only 2 doctors nearby that take our insurance (worth using) they're affiliated with the best Hospitals.
So I Call Doctor #1. The phone rings and rings tried 2 days in a row no answer... wtf!!!!!!!!!!
Call Doctor #2 get a rather rude lady who takes my information and keeps asking me if I "REALLY" want an appointment. No I'm just calling for no @#$@#$@# reason. She takes my info and never calls back.
The rest of the doctors nearby that take my insurance are all affiliated with our Med School. Which I gotta say out of the other 3 times I've used them has been a BAD experience. You get residents .. not doctors RESIDENTS doing the work. F that... I swear they rig our health insurance so that 90% of the doctors come up are affiliated with our med school. Actually I'm sure of it. I so can't wait to get the @#$@#$ out of this place, get some better insurance and say F the guinea pigging of your employees.
Any of the other decent doctors are out of network with (all insurances) their office people say or they don't accept any insurance at all it's pay as you go. W T F. Get a f'n clue we're not all rich and can pay right out for our healthcare. So what exactly am I and my employer paying over 300$ /mo for?
I look forward to the day when healthcare gets the SHAFT! When the Hospitals can no longer charge every patient for new sheets when they're just laundering old ones. When they get caught padding the bills!! When they finally get called on all the excesses they charge for that are UNNECESSARY!. Healthcare costs, charges are the biggest fleecing of Americans I've ever seen and it's pathetic. Doctors take an oath to do NO harm... and yes a lot of this is from the doctors the people on the boards who allow the administrators to get away with this crap.
Something will have to give soon. Healthcare costs are rising so fast nothing can keep up.

A. We don't know what exactly is in this vaccine. Some say mercury ... didn't we always learn this is BAD for your health especially BRAIN function?
B. There is NOT enough research on this vaccine and what it does. Especially not many years and long term effects.
C. HPV caused cancer is not "spreadable" like other diseases so why force the vaccine? Other vaccines are understandable as they pose a great health risk if one person gets say "the mumps". It can be contracted by others due to contact and people can die from it.
D. There are now many reports of girls reacting badly (seizures etc) from getting the vaccine since June 2006. Do we need deaths of our daughters and brain damage of many before we find out what's causing this?
What's next.. forcing unwed, underage mothers to get abortions? Not much different. It's our body where's the control? Last I checked this isn't Gattica.. or is it?
Is there some health risk to others if they don't take the vaccine? NO! Cancer is NOT "catchy". HPV is also not a leading cancer causing agent like some would have us believe.

What's #1? The number one Cause of Death in women is Heart disease!
What's #2? Cancer:
- #1 Cancer Killer is Lung Cancer is the #1 Cancer killer of women and the #2 killer of women overall.
- #2 Cancer Killer is Brest Cancer
- #3 Colorectal Cancer
Funny the adds would have you think that Cervical cancer is #1 killer of women. It is NOT so do not believe them! Please contact Rick Perry's office and tell him what you think about this! If you don't live in Texas it's only a matter of time, Virginia is already considering making this mandatory as well.

Get out and Vote!
If you can legally vote please do so! Our way of life and democracy depends on people getting out and voting.
Just remember, you have no right to complain about the government if you don't get out and vote. No matter what you're opinion get out and voice it through voting.
Btw early voting is often the best route due to no lines :). So really there's no excuse for not voting.

To love a cat ...
They purr,
they paw,
they snub,
and they rub ...
in the end they are your friends,
a good listener,
a soft companion,
the quiet headlight eyes in night.
That rustling noise in the window,
the mysterious force that bends the blinds,
but we love them.
When they pass,
on they go,
to kitty heaven,
to run,
and jump,
and paw,
and rub,
as if they were young kittens again.
To my dearest Patches may your rest in kitty heaven be well! Keep my dad company.

How to best describe camping at the Texas Ren Fest
http://www.houstonpress.com/issues/2004-11-11/news/feature_1.html
Since this article pretty much sums up the experience and friendliness I figured I'd just include as it's a wealth of information.
We'll possibly be going back to camp more at the festival in a few weeks. If you haven't gone you should!

DOD Loses funding for Robot race ....
The Pentagon's research arm, which has twice hosted the high-tech contests since 2004, blames an obscure section in a defense spending law signed by President Bush this week. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency believes the law prevents the agency from awarding the $2.7 million prize money.
Ok here's some irony. This arm of the DOD is charged with trying to reduce fatalities out on the battlefield. What's the best way to induce progress in army grade robotics? Host a Contest with a LARGE prize .. like the X prize etc. For a few years now this has been very successful and lucrative for the Universities who partake in this challenge. Not to mention I love seeing the documentaries they do about the months leading up to the challenge and seeing what Universities came out on top :P But I digress.
Question is who is really behind this cut and was President Bush aware when he signed it into law. Obviously, no politician can read every page of these laws they're far too long. You'd think someone would have brought this up though :(
Honestly, I can't wait to see the outcome of the Elections this year... I forsee a wind of change. Will it get any better .. I think not sadly. Our country is heading down a very dangerous path. God bless you all and reaffirm your faith in what is grounded and does not waiver.

If you blog and there's no one there to read it ...
Soo just like if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it does it really make a noise :P
Of course it does due to the compression of air waves and the sound traveling outwards.
If you write a blog and no one reads it does it really exist? :P Surely it does.. but the writer clearly has to asses is it worth putting the effort into.
~~~~~~~
On another note ... one of these days I'm eventually going to start working on my inventions I keep thinking up or at least publish the ideas so that someone who knows how to make them happen can make em :P
