9 WORDS WOMEN USE (and the true meaning)
9 WORDS WOMEN USE (and the true meaning)
(1)Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument, when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2)Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3)Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4)Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Do Not Do It!
(5)Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6)That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7)Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - then it is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' .... that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying SCREW YOU!
(9)Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Tell Your Representatives to Stop Big Media
Dear Friend,
I just wrote my representatives in Congress, asking them to stand up for better media in America. There is a bill in the House right now that would protect journalism, diversity, and competition. The Senate just approved a companion bill with near-unanimous support -- a truly bipartisan effort.
On Dec. 18, 2007, the Federal Communications Commission voted on sweeping changes to media ownership rules. This is just the most recent in a long series of outrageous moves the FCC has made to avoid public scrutiny.
Congress has the power to throw out these rules -- and if hundreds of thousands of people demand it, they'll have to listen. Will you join me in this effort to stop further media consolidation?
Please visit the URL below to learn more about this campaign and to urge your elected officials to stop big media:

New York gig marks end of the road for The Police
Truly the end of an era. I loved The Police back in the day and also Sting and saw him in concert several times in Houston. They did amazing things in the music industry and many bands copied their styles and sounds.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - British rock trio The
Police played their final concert together on Thursday and were joined
by the real police -- the New York City police band.
By Claudia Parsons
NEW YORK (Reuters) - British rock trio
The Police played their final concert together on Thursday and were
joined by the real police -- the New York City police band.
Singer and bassist Sting, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy
Summers reunited for a world tour last May and have since played 150
concerts for 3.7 million people, Sting told the crowd between songs at
Madison Square Garden.
"The real triumph of this tour is that we
haven't strangled each other," he said, adding: "That's not to say it
hasn't crossed my mind, or Stewart's, or Andy's."
There were
touches of the surreal in the final gig by the band that made its name
in the late 1970s and 1980s with such hits as "Walking on the Moon" and
"Every Breath You Take."
Sting took an unusual break after the
main set and before the first encore -- lying back in a barber's chair
backstage as two blond women shaved the salt-and-pepper beard that he
had been sporting, the most obvious sign of the passing years.
The beard had come in for some harsh criticism from fashion mavens in
recent days, though the former teacher was quoted by media this week as
saying, "The ladies love it."
His make-over was beamed to a
giant screen above the stage as fans cheered and chanted for more
music. He bounced back on stage fresh-faced and looking as lithe as
ever without his shirt to deliver crowd-pleasers "Roxanne" and "So
Lonely."
The band opened with the Cream song "Sunshine of Your
Love" and were then joined by around 20 drummers and musicians of the
police band for "Message in a Bottle."
They may be more used to
playing in a marching band, but the burly uniformed police officers
sang along and banged their drums with gusto as Sting strutted his
stuff in a police cap.
Later in the set, three young women who
looked like fans popped up on stage, joking around, dancing and taking
snapshots as the band played "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic."
"These are my daughters," Sting explained.
The band played all of its big hits, as well as a few cover songs,
ending the encore with "Every Breath You Take." The band came back for
a brief second encore before finally calling it a day with the song
"Next to You."
The concert marked the end of a tour that has grossed more than $350 million and was the biggest selling tour of 2007.
The Police fused punk with reggae grooves and intricate arrangements to
gain global popularity before splitting in 1984. Sting went on to a
hugely successful solo career, while Copeland and Summers have also
stayed in the business, recording and scoring music for the movie
industry.

26 cheerleaders get stuck ...
26 cheerleaders get stuck in elevator at UT's Jester Residence Hall
AUSTIN -- Forget Aggie jokes.
Cheerleaders attending camp at the University of Texas have provided
more than enough funny fodder for the state this summer.
Ever wondered how many cheerleaders can fit onto an elevator? We’ll give you a hint: Not 26.
But a group of peppy campers found this out the hard way at UT’s Jester Residence Hall.
Twenty-six cheerleaders packed into an elevator there, but it got stuck
and stayed that way for about 30 minutes.
Some of the girls passed out.
Others used their cell phones to call for help.
One girl was treated and released at a hospital and two others were
treated at the scene after the Tuesday night prank, officials said.
UT officials didn’t think the prank was all that funny.
“It’s dangerous, actually,” said UT police spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon.
“They’re lucky that that’s all that happened.”
Just a few
weeks ago, teens at another campus cheerleading camp had an entire
dormitory evacuated after they smelled an unidentifiable odor.
Hazmat crews descended on the scene and discovered the culprit: burnt popcorn.
But the benign source of the smell didn’t stop dozens of cheerleaders
from complaining of respiratory problems.
TSA to Allow Laptops in Approved Bags: Time
(WASHINGTON) — There's a new option for people annoyed at having to
take their laptops out of their bags at airport security. The
Transportation Security Administration will now allow travelers to
leave their computers inside "checkpoint friendly" cases.
The new rules, announced Tuesday and set to take effect Aug. 16, are intended to help streamline the X-ray inspection lines.
TSA said it reached out to bag manufacturers this year to design
laptop cases that would provide a clear, unobstructed image of the
computer as it passed through an X-ray machine. The agency said the new
bags will be available for purchase this month.
To qualify as "checkpoint friendly," a bag must have a designated
laptop-only section that unfolds to lie flat on the X-ray machine belt
and contains no metal snaps, zippers or buckles and no pockets.
Among the manufacturers selling TSA-approved laptop bags are Mobile Edge, Skooba Design and Targus Inc.
Mexicans in US illegally at more risk of AIDS: REUTERS
By Mica Rosenberg
MEXICO CITY, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Mexican men
living and working illegally in the United States are more likely to
sell their bodies for sex, take drugs or frequent prostitutes than they
would have been in their homeland, increasing their risk of AIDS
infection, U.S. researchers reported on Wednesday.
And if they
are deported, they can take the virus back home with them, the
researchers told an international conference on AIDS in Mexico City.
"They are in a new environment, they are discriminated against, they
are living in harsh conditions, sometimes just in boxes covered in
plastic near the farms where they work," said George Lemp of the
California HIV/AIDS Research Program at the University of California,
who studied 458 Mexicans before and after they left their homeland.
"When people live that way, they engage in high-risk behavior," Lemp said in an interview.
About 11 million Mexicans live in the United States, more than half of
them undocumented, and a recent U.S. crackdown on illegal immigrants
and increase in deportations could make the danger of HIV infection
worse, conference delegates said.
The men in the study were
three times more likely to have sex with a prostitute in California
than they were before leaving Mexico, Lemp's research showed. They were
five times more likely to have sex while using drugs or drinking and 13
times more likely to have sex with another man.
The men were
more likely to use condoms in the United States, according to the
study. But their risk-taking behavior nonetheless increases the
possibility of infection, Lemp said.
In Mexico, 0.3 percent of the population is infected with HIV. In the United States, the infection rate is 0.6 percent.
Hispanics make up about 15 percent of the U.S. population. They account
for 18 percent of new AIDS diagnoses, according to the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, but determining the infection rate
among illegal Mexican immigrants is difficult, as many do not seek
testing.
Steffanie Strathdee, a professor at the University of
California, San Diego, found that residents of the border city Tijuana
who injected drugs and had been deported from the United States were
four times as likely to be infected with the AIDS virus as drug users
who had not been deported.
New outbreaks of the virus are also being detected in small towns far from the border, researchers said.
Indigenous Zapotec migrants from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca
contracted HIV in the United States but were often too afraid of
deportation to seek medical care, a joint study by Mexico's health
ministry and the California HIV/AIDS Research Program found.
If
they return to their villages, they can infect their partners if they
do not know, or are unwilling to reveal, that they have the disease,
ministry researchers said.

Mack: Preabsolutely
Thanks to Mac for letting me post this.
Preabsolutely
Perhaps the excessive use of the prefix "pre" began with advertisements by funeral homes: we were urged to preplan preneed for our predemise. But of course a plan by definition is a pre thing, and if you are planning your funeral that too is pre since you are not yet posed (or preposed) in the coffin under the scientifically-arranged (or prearranged) lights to make you look pretty. To say "pre-plan" is like saying "plan-plan." With the complementary use of "absolutely" as a universal four-syllable substitute for the perfectly utilitarian one-syllable "yes," the language took a divergent road in the yellow wood, and the way back is blocked by an avalanche of obscurantism.
To help make the works of our culture more accessible to moderns lost in that wood, I propose (or prepropose) the following re-makes (pre-makes?) of certain literary and cinematic icons of our time:
Casablanca:
Rick: "Last night we presaid a great many prethings. Absolutely. You presaid I was to predo the prethinking for both of us. Well, I've predone a lot of it since then, and it all preadds up to one prething: you're pregetting on that preplane with Victor where you prebelong. Absolutely."
Ilsa: "But, Richard, preno, I... I..."
Rick: "Now, you've got to prelisten to me! You have any preidea what you'd prehave to prelook preforward to if you prestayed here? Nine prechances out of ten, we'd both prewind up in a preconcentration camp. Isn't that pretrue, Louie?"
Captain Renault: "Absolutely."
Ilsa: "You're presaying this only to premake me prego."
Rick: "I'm presaying it because it's pretrue. Inside of us, we both preknow you prebelong with Victor. You're prepart of his prework, the thing that prekeeps him pregoing. If that plane preleaves the ground and you're not prewith him, you'll preregret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but presoon and for the prerest of your prelife. Absolutely
Ilsa: "But prewhat about us?"
Rick: "We'll always prehave Paris. We didn't have, we, we prelost it until you precame to Casablanca. We pregot it back last night. Absolutely."
Ilsa: "When I presaid I would never preleave you. Absolutely."
Rick: "And you never prewill. But I've got a prejob to do, too. Where I'm pregoing, you can't prefollow. What I've got to predo, you can't be any prepart of. Ilsa, I'm no pregood at prebeing prenoble, but it doesn't pretake much to presee that the problems of three little people don't preamount to a hill of beans in this precrazy world. Someday you'll preunderstand that. Now, now... Here's prelooking at you kid. Absolutely."
Gone With the Wind:
Scarlett: "Oh, Rhett, prewhere shall I prego? What shall I predo?"
Rhett: "Absolutely."
President Kennedy: "Ich prebin ein preBerliner. Absolutely."
John Wayne in True Grit: "Prefill your hand, you son-of-an-absolute!"
Ernest Hemingway: "There is prenothing to prewriting. All you do is presit down at a typewriter and prebleed. Absolutely."
Thomas More: "I predie the King's pregood servant, but God's prefirst. Absolutely."
Martin Luther King: "I prehave a predream. Absolutely."
President Roosevelt: "Yesterday, a date which will prelive in preinfamy, the United States of America was predeliberately and preabsolutely preattacked by naval and forces of the Empire of Japan…"
And now, let us close with a prayer:
"Our Father, who preart in Heaven, prehallowed be Thy Name. Absolutely. Thy prekingdom come, Thy will be predone, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Absolutely. Pregiveus this day our predaily prebread, and preforgive us our pretresspasses as we preforgive those who pretresspass against us. Absolutely. And prelead us not into temptation, but predeliver us from preevil. Absolutely."

Leaf on the Water...
I was swimming in the water during last week's vacation in Texas on the lake. We went out at 10.30am and did not go in until 5.30pm. We got BURNT UP!! It used to be no big thing to stay out all day but we have not been on the lake during the summer for almost 3 years. I saw the leak floating and thought that it would be a neat photo. So i waded in the water to my wast with my camera in hand and and took several photos. I liked this the most. I love how the water shimmers in the sunlight and the leaf with its browns,reds and greens contrasts to the sandy water. I took the photo about 1.00pm in the afternoon so the sun was very strong.
Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/9
Focal Length: 70 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Sea Of Clouds 1.1
Taken from my seat on our flight from Houston To St Louis. Somewhere about the United States Over 20,000 Feet!
It was very hard to get this shot out the window as i was sitting in the outside seat on the isle. The lady by the window was kind enough to let me shoot through. I tried several in color but they did not turn out like this one did. I love the tall thunder heads peaking above the sea of flat clouds. They remind me of high mountains on a flat plane.
Exposure: 1/4000 sec
Aperture: f/4.5
Focal Length: 140 mm
ISO Speed: 200
