Inside the green house: The Law of

Unintended consequences
"The building killed 60 birds in the first year," said Wegner, Emory's
chief environmental officer. "It was the wall of death."

The tall glass walls have birds flying full speed to their death. Funny that this had been a problem for home builders for years and now the green builders are surprised by this outcome.

ROFLOL

The best laugh I've had in a long time at Theo Sparks

Pilots and mechanics have some words.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

smelly hippies


So some may say it is unfair to call hippies smelly, and they may be right. Yet from time to time we do find proof.

My Weekend

Well I was busy alright. I got my video camera to do most of the work. I gave my cannon camera light duty so I could have my fun

But my Cannon did do some work
My camera wasn't the only one working. Thanks to Byron Dazey

So my story goes like this, my friends in Olympia were doing the hard work of showing the anti-war gang that we really do support our troops. So I had to head down and help. Nov 17, 2007 Olympia Port Militarization Resistance ended 11 days of violent protest with a phony victory rally after failing to achieve their goal of stopping the offloading of US Army Strikers returning from Iraq and after causing considerable damage to private civilian property they marched a few short blocks and gave speeches to decry the fact that they were arrested and in some cases pepper sprayed for refusing to clear the roadways. As we have done all through this circus we troop supports were their to show that another voice is waiting to rise up. Well they don't like this. During the course of this rally I began video taping and people were deliberately getting in my way so I did what I could to get a clear view eventually with no choice but to get on the stage to take my video. the last two people to block my camera were actual on the stage I like how after I was thrown on the ground and then I peacefully left you can hear the speaker decry the assaults they received from the police.

Don't taze me, bro Me

So not only did someone zap themselves,
Madison police released a report Monday on the July 31 incident, without revealing the officer's name or gender. The department said the Taser accidentally discharged during a standard checkout procedure.

But they got written up for it.
A letter of reprimand was issued because failing to ensure the air cartridge wasn't loaded was a violation of department policy, the report said.

Anti-war Kids infront of a bigrig



Anti-war protesters are trying to interfere with our war efforts. In Olympia WA they are blocking the offloading of equipment retuning from Iraq. After a few arrests and a few days of frustration they have resorted to the last hope of the desperate propagandist, Children.
And then they complain about it.

Where have I been?


Well I've been doing some homework for work since Thursday. I've made a 16 page handbook for work and earned a few brownie points. I would like to show it off but it contains a lot of proprietary information so all I can do is show the cover page.

A hug will get you two


Hugging Curious George

Two days in detention.
A 13-year-old junior high school student was given two days of detention after school officials spotted her hugging friends after school last Friday.

So why the need for such drastic measures?
Mascoutah Superintendent Sam McGowen said today that the district's policy helps prevent misunderstandings and unwelcome expressions of affection.

Can we now say that political correctness has gone too far.

More on bad hugs.

MySpace Music Find

Not much news going on of late so I thought of something I could do on those slow news days, so welcome to my... MySpace Music Page.

reach new people. And I want to help.

Today's music find is

Camille Bloom.

I hope you
enjoy as much has I do.




Visit Camille's homepage.




Rules:

My orders are on the way

to report to the residence life education program at the University of Delaware. It seems that students who live on campus are now required to attend training sessions on and demonstrate adherence to

highly specific university-approved views on issues ranging from politics to race, sexuality, sociology, moral philosophy, and environmentalism.

So has I faced charges of racism/fascism and other assorted ism's last Saturday I can feel blessed that I do not attend School, where I would likely find myself tied to a chair watching "Pleasantville" with my eyes propped open with toothpicks.

Global War

The war on terror is a global war. We are fighting everywhere, they are fighting everywhere. We fight on land sea and air. The enemy tries to hide from us in many ways, today one of those hiding places is gone.
A U.S. destroyer has entered Somali territorial waters in pursuit of a Japanese-owned ship loaded with benzene that was hijacked by pirates over the weekend, military officials said Monday.


And just to prove we mean business...
The Golden Mori radioed for help Sunday night. The Burke's sister ship, the USS Porter, opened fire and sank the pirate skiffs tied to its stern before the Burke took over shadowing the hijacked vessel.

Report from the home front

Anti-war madness in Seattle Oct 27 2007.
I got there early and got to see the crowd build to an est. 2000 people (King 5 news)... not a happy group. Remember that organisers only held one rally in the North West (11 overall) this year, people were expected to come from all over. I guess they didn't, or there are not that many people engaged in this anti America BS any more... well time for my photos...

I parked near the end of the march, Occidental park

Seattle's Firefighter memorial

Waterfall garden (birthplace of UPS)

And here the anties use shoes to pull at the heart strings.

Then took a quick walk to the starting place of the march.


The Devil May Care!

Ready to protect.

A Commie Babe

Every anti-war rally must have some of these.

Your commie table selling Che Guevara books

Old lady wearing a terror scarf

Anarchist

and new to this years round of protest... Ron Paul supporter

And now for other photos of note:

I wonder if this Anarchist knows he is quoting Reagan?

Always planing the next rally.

Now at this point the march back to Occidental park begins and I expose myself as a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
This allowed the protester to expose the true level of hate they have for our troops as they tried to provoke me and my fellow co-conspirators.


And now we have people holding the flag of murders who shoot missiles at cities and schools and they have the nerve to call our troops killers!!!

More photos can be found on my Flickr page!

"Big" rally today

I'm going with my camera and will post a full report, if I don't get arrested!

PS I made a new sign,
Why do you want US to lose this war?
I support our troops and I support their mission
I Support True Middle East peace
I Support Israel’s war against Terror!
I Support America’s War against Terror!
Only Victory will assure peace.
A.N.S.W.E.R. is not a friend of our troops.
Why do you want US to lose this war


Pss If you see me get arrested on the news feel free to come down and bail me out :) please.

Inside the Green House: Koz says we did it.

We killed the Dinosaurs!

According to the record, it hasn't mattered why the temperature rose, only that it did. The result was the same -- a massive loss of species both on land and in the sea. If global warming and the associated changes are what really does in ecosystems, what does that say about our immediate future?


it all adds up. We made the world warmer and the dinosaurs made the world warmer and everybody died... Now I'm scared.

There are some things that common sense will tell you just ain't so.

Unfit


Their crime?

refusing to take their 11 year old foster child to "gay association meetings"
Earlier this year, Somerset County Council's social services department asked them to sign a contract to implement Labour's new Sexual Orientation Regulations, part of the Equality Act 2006, which make discrimination on the grounds of sexuality illegal.

Officials told the couple that under the regulations they would be required to discuss same-sex relationships with children as young as 11 and tell them that gay partnerships were just as acceptable as heterosexual marriages.

They could also be required to take teenagers to gay association meetings.


Next it will be illegal to force the kids to go to church... or heaven forbid pray at bedtime!!!
