Storms Batter Texas With Wind and Hail

GAINESVILLE, Texas (AP) - Storms battered eastern Texas with wind up to 100 mph and hail the size of baseballs, damaging buildings and slamming parked airplanes into one another at an airport. No major injuries were reported in the storms late Friday and early Saturday, authorities said. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060430/D8HA05100.html

United 93

This was a hardest posts I've done. I was not in the militay at the time of 911 but it did help in making my decision to join. Ultimately it was not the only reason but a big part of it. This movie has and will continue to cause a lot of controversy but I do think this movie is coming out at the right time. Although it will not tell the true story of the courage of the passengers of Flight 93. But it does show that Americans will not set back and let another country try to come into our borders and try to take this great nation down.

Anna Kournikova

Found a great site on pointless drivel......which is where I found Celebrity Love Match. You have to answer 40 questions, so it's gotta be accurate (don't worry, the questions can be answered quickly). And you can choose to be matched up with either a male or female. I answered the questions as honest as I could. Here is who I match up with: Your next closest matches were: Sheryl Swoopes Ashley Judd Nicole Kidman

Here are the top three president as voted by you, America, believe it, what you are about to see may shock you. Yes, it's true, nothing is good as it seems, literally. Also, two of the three top three can also be found on the other end of the spectrum, in the bottom five all-time. TOP 3 1 - 90% - George W. Bush, following the 9/11 attacks 2 - 89% - George W. H. Bush, during the first Gulf War 3 - 87 % - Harry Truman, following FDR's death Bottom 5 1 - 23% - Harry Truman (holds record for largest change in approval) 2 - 24% - Richard Nixon 3 - 28% - Jimmy Carter (ironically won a Nobel Peace Prize) 4 - 29% - George W. H. Bush 5 - It's unconfirmed, but rumor has it that John F. Kennedy was around 30% Our current president is close to breaking into the top 5 as his rating is at 32% http://ask.yahoo.com/20051011.html

Chernobyl

Twenty miles out and 20 years later, you pass the first thinly staffed police checkpoint. Not everyone can get into Chernobyl. You have to register with government authorities and written permission to enter the dead zone. For miles, it's the same foreboding empty streets and boarded up homes of an all but deserted Chernobyl, Ukraine. And as you get closer and closer to the infamous nuclear Reactor No. 4, radiation detectors, (an essential tool in your journey) begin to beep incessantly. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,192952,00.html Could There Be Another Chernobyl?

Everyone bend over and....

...And kiss your ass goodbye... Great article found Trevor. original news source:news .yahoo.com Using NASA simulations of the comet's path, Julien concludes that impact is likely around May 25 precisely when the comet crosses the Earth's ecliptic plane. While the first fragment will cross at approximately 10 million miles, lagging fragments threaten to collide. While astronomers have stated that the comet poses no direct threat, Julien argues that some fragments are too small to observe. Astronomers have predicted possible meteor showers indicating some cometary debris will enter the atmosphere. Former Military Air Traffic Controller, Eric Julien, predicts the collision of a comet fragment from Comet 73P on May 25th. His studies are based on the dispersal of the comet fragments from the original comet. He has not identified a specific fragment that will hit, but says that the fragment that will hit is too small for astronomers to see yet. I've been predicting the possibility of meteor showers from this comet for months now. The highest probability is May 24th with a higher probability in the days after than in the days before. He's also trying to include some hocus pocus about crop circles and Bush's bad karma for his threatening posture in the Middle East. www.aerith.net cometography.com

Fruitcake Does Last Forever

WAUKESHA, Wis. - Lance Nesta did what many people do when receiving a fruitcake — he set it aside, only to rediscover it more than 40 years later in his mother's attic. Nesta couldn't resist taking a peek at the cake, still in its original tin and wrapped in paper. "I was amazed that it hadn't changed at all," he said. Nesta's two aunts sent him the fruitcake in November 1962 while he was stationed in Alaska with the Army. Thanks to msn.com

New Madrid Seismic Zone

From 1811-1812, 3 large earthquakes believed to be 8.0 or greater on the Richter scale shook eight states from the southern US to the eastern side of the US ranging from, Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee, known as the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Aftershocks were felt as far away as Montreal Canada some 1,200 miles away. Fortunately, the area was sparsely populated at the time. There were only about 400 residents in the frontier town of New Madrid, Missouri. They were awakened in the middle of the night when the first big quake hit December 16, 1811. Below is a video from CNN: (Watch what could happen if a quake hit the U.S. heartland -- 2:45) http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/04/18/new.madrid/index.html

The Perfect Butt formula has been found...

The Sunday Times reports (S+C) x (B+F)/T = V is the formula that determines if your buttocks are a perfect 10: Video: Tushology David Holmes, a psychology lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, England, devised the formula. He asked about 2000 women across Britain to assess their bottoms using a simple points scale. For example, those who believed theirs resembled a trodden doughnut scored just one point for shape, whereas those with a small peach scored the maximum five.

Pamela Rogers

A former elementary school teacher who spent six months in jail for having sex with a 13-year-old student was arrested again, this time for violating probation by apparently communicating with the victim. Pamela Rogers, 28, was arrested Tuesday and released on $10,000 bond. A judge Wednesday ordered her to appear at a July 12 hearing. Last August, Rogers reached a plea deal to serve nine months on an eight-year sentence, allowing her to avoid a trial on 28 charges of sexual battery and statutory rape. She was released from jail in February for good behavior. Authorities said she violated probation by establishing a Web page on the online social networking hub MySpace.com. Her page featured a blog that included what authorities said was communication between Rogers and the victim's 17-year-old sister. WTF was she thinking? Not a smart thing Pamela!! Why couldn't I find her MySpace, she wouldn't be going to stand trial now. Maybe I need to finish my MySpace so these teachers can find me!!! Another sizzling HOT teacher. I need some teachers like Debra and Pamela to teach at the UW!! Like Hunt says, "I would drink her bath water"!! I am in need of new teachers!!!

1906 revisited?

It's only April 12th today, in six days it will be the 18. Do you remember what happened on 18 April 1906? The death, destruction, and mayhem that an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter that almost demolished San Francisco. The terrifying rumble of an earthquake shattered the early morning silence of April 18 at 5:15 AM. The quake lasted only a minute but caused the worst natural disaster in the nation's history. Modern analysis estimates it registered 8.25 on the Richter scale (By comparison, the quake that hit San Francisco on October 17, 1989 registered 6.7). The greatest destruction came from the fires the quake ignited. These ravaged the city for three days before burning themselves out. The maelstrom destroyed 490 city blocks, a total of 25,000 buildings, made over 250,000 homeless and killed between 450 and 700. Damage estimates topped $350,000,000.

6.1 Magnitude Earth Quake in Far East

Kamchatka peninsula in Russia's Far East was hit by a 6.1 magnitude earthquake Wednesday morning. For more info on this region please click on link below. Kamchatka Peninsula (Russian: полуо́стров Камча́тка) is a 1,250-kilometer long peninsula in the Russian Far East, with an area of 472,300 km². It lies between the Pacific Ocean (to the east) and the Sea of Okhotsk (to the west). Between the peninsula and the Pacific Ocean runs the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench with a depth of 10,500 m. The central valley and the Kamchatka River are flanked by large volcanic ranges, containing around 160 volcanoes, 29 of them still active. Thus, the peninsula has the highest density of volcanos and associated volcanic phenomena in the world, 19 active volcanos being inscribed by the UNESCO on the World Heritage List. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamchatka_peninsula

Sandstorm in NW China

A heavy sandstorm hit Jiuquan and Jiayu Pass areas in northwest China's Gansu Province Monday night, with the visibility in the affected areas declining to 200 meters. The sandstorm with strong wind suddenly hit the aforementioned areas at 9:20 p.m. Monday. Xu Dianxiang, an official with the Jiuquan Meteorological Station, said that sandstorm is rarely seen in the current season and he attributed the sandstorm to dry weather and high temperature over the past two weeks. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-07/13/content_347712.htm

MJ-12 or MJ-XII

Wow I came across this report while seaching for "classified UFO documents" on Google. The Majestic 12 has been under question for quite a few years. But I thought I let you read these few articles I found on the subject and let you form your own opinion. Majestic-12 or Majic 12 (sometimes written simply as MJ-12 or MJ-XII) is the code name of an alleged secret committee of high-level scientists, military leaders, and government officials, supposedly formed in 1947 at the direction of U.S. President Harry S. Truman. The purpose was to investigate UFO activity in the aftermath of the Roswell UFO incident, the purported crash of an alien spaceship near Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947. This alleged committee is an important part of the UFO conspiracy theory of an ongoing government cover up of UFO information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic_12 Does the President, military leaders, and government officials know something they aren't telling us? Read on and please leave your comment. http://www.roswellfiles.com/FOIA/majestic12.htm A copy of the papers? Top Secret... http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicmaj2.html

A letter from the USAF...

The U.S. government does not explicitly acknowledge the existence of the Groom Lake facility, nor does it deny it. Unlike much of the Nellis range, the area surrounding the lake is permanently off-limits both to civilian and normal military air traffic. The area is protected by radar stations, and uninvited guests are met by helicopters and armed guards. Should they accidentally stray into the exclusionary "box" surrounding Groom's airspace, even military pilots training in the NAFR are reportedly grilled extensively by military intelligence agents.

DNA test confirms...for Duke lacrosse team.

In Durham N.C. the DNA test failed to confirm that ANY member of the Duke lacrosse team is guilty of the alleged rape allegations. Attorneys said the test results prove their clients did not sexually assault and beat a stripper hired to perform at a March 13 team party. "No DNA material from any young man was present on the body of this complaining woman," said defense attorney Wade Smith. Robert Archer, whose son, Breck, is a member of the lacrosse team, said the test results only confirmed for parents what they already knew. No charges have been filed in the case. Come on this girl is all talk trying to take down a great lacrosse team!! This girl is a stripper for crying out loud...it comes with the territory. Now not all strippers get in bad spots, but some just want the lime light on them. What is she trying to prove?? I think she is dead wrong in what she is doing or trying to do. Please leave your comment on your thoughts!!

Tornadoes in Midwest...

At least 10 people died in Tennessee as severe thunderstoms and tornadoes swept thru the southern US. It was the second wave of violent weather to hit the state in less than a week. The Nashville suburbs were the hardest hit, with at least eight deaths happening northeast of the city. The number of tornadoes in the United States has jumped dramatically through the first part of 2006 compared with the past few years, according to the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. Through the end of March, an estimated 286 tornadoes had hit the United States, compared with an average of 70 for the same three-month period in each of the past three years. The number of tornado-related deaths was 38 before Friday's storms. The average number of deaths from 2003 to 2005 was 45 a year, the prediction center said.

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants....

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN "In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." Theodore Roosevelt 1907 Comments: Theodore Roosevelt indeed wrote these words, but not in 1907 while he was still president. The passages were culled from a letter he wrote to the president of the American Defense Society on January 3, 1919, three days before Roosevelt died. (After researching FDR did die on Jan. 6, 1919) Click on link below for more comments. http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_roosevelt_on_immigrants.htm http://www.snopes.com/quotes/teddyroos.asp

Area 51 Aerial Pictures

Groom Lake also known as area 51 located 90 miles north of Las Vegas has been a mystery for quite some time. The number refers to a 6-by-10-mile block of land, at the center of which is a large air base the government will not discuss. Several high-tech super-secret planes were developed and tested here, including the U-2, SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117 Stealth Fighter. Above I've posted some aerial views of Area 51. (Left) Could this be the toxic waste dump that the employees complains about and have filed failed lawsuits against the U.S. government?

Once in a Linetime...Literally

Early this morning, at 1:02am, the world did not witness the event that will happen only once in a thousand years. At precisely 1:02:03, the date would have read 01:02:03 04/05/06. If you stayed awake long enough to be a part of this very very trivial event, then congrats. If you choose to stay up long enough to witness it the second time, tough. Next time this will happen will be 5 April, 3006. Good luck living that long. This will also happen this afternoon at 1:02 pm...

Saturday night at the races...

Saturday night I decided to take my son to the races. It was a great adventure. I have never been to the raceway here in town, and he had never been to a race. Even though we both enjoy watching Nascar every Sunday afternoon. I took a few pictures but then the camera died so here is the one picture I got to take of the track before the races started. I will take more to post next time.
