Power In The Blood: Using Nano Technology & Blood Pressure For Alternative Energy

Looking Inside To Solve Our Problems Outside 



           Guinea pig cochlea. The CELL: An Image Library.
I was reading a fantastic article about research into generating power from the electrical signals produced by our inner ear utilizing nanotechnology , & it immediately sparked my creative neurons for another brilliant, cheap source of energy.

Consider This 

The pressure of blood flow in the human body reaches a minimum of 120 mm Hg at 5000 ml per minute throughout our system. We can build a very small generator that would harness the surge of this flowing blood, & transform it into electrical power that could provide enough energy for the basic functions of our small portable gadgets like cell phones & computer tablets.

Never again would we worry about finding a charge station or other outlets to keep these precious commodities at our disposal.


Life Saving Possibilities

Another very critical function can be implemented by this new technology. We can use this on board power to jump start a fibrillating heart.   

What if we had a small computer connected to this power source, that would  initiate an automatic charge of electricity to a failing heart at regular intervals, until the heart is functioning properly?

Those critical minutes, waiting for emergency technicians to arrive, can now be avoided, & lives WILL BE SAVED. 

This may seem similar to a pacemaker that has been available for decades, but it serves a slightly different function. A pacemaker controls the rhythmic electrical signals normally sent from the brain to the heart that determine the regularity of our heartbeat. 

It can stabilize an arrhythmia to a small degree, for fainting spells & fatigue, but does not have the power to re-establish a regular heart beat during a massive myocardial infarction.

Let's think BIG with small things...

UPDATE: It turns out, someone took my idea & flowed with it...

Secret Service Revelations About Past Presidents And First Ladies *OUCH*

Partisans won't give you an honest assessment of our leaders' character, but the Secret Service is your best source for truth.   

Here are snippets from a book of Impressions & 
Observations of Secret Service personnel assigned 
to guard U.S. Presidents/First Ladies, and 
Vice Presidents.

JOHN & JACQUELINE KENNEDY
A philanderer of the highest order. She ordered the kitchen help to
save all the left-over wine during a State dinner, mixed it with fresh
wine and served again during the next White House occasion.

LYNDON & LADYBIRD JOHNSON
Another philanderer of the highest order. In addition, LBJ was as
crude as the day is long. Both kept a lot of women in the White House
for extramarital affairs, and both had set up warning systems to alert
them if/when their wives were nearby. Both Kennedy & Johnson were
promiscuous and oversexed men. She was either naive or just pretended
to about her husbands many liaisons.

RICHARD & PAT NIXON
A man but very odd, weird, paranoid, etc. He had horrible relationship
with his family, and in a way, was almost a recluse. She was quiet
most of the time.

SPIRO AGNEW
Nice, decent man, everyone in the Secret Service was surprised by his downfall.

GERALD & BETTY FORD
A true gentlemen who treated the Secret Service with respect and
dignity. He had a great sense of humor. She drank a lot!

JIMMY & ROSALYN CARTER
A complete phony who would portray one picture of himself to public
and very different in private, e..g., would be shown carrying his own
luggage, but the suitcases were always empty; he kept the empty ones
just for photo ops. Wanted the people to see him as pious and a
non-drinker, but he and his family drank alcohol a lot! He had disdain
for the Secret Service, and was very irresponsible with the with
nuclear codes. He didnt think it was a big deal and would keep
military aides at a great distance. Often did not acknowledge the
presence of Secret Service personnel assigned to serve him. She mostly
did her own thing.

RONALD & NANCY REAGAN
The real deal moral, honest, respectful, and dignified. They treated
Secret Service and everyone else with respect and honor. Thanked
everyone all the time. He took the time to know everyone on a personal
level. One story that has circulated among the Secret Service
personnel was an incident early in his Presidency, when he came out of
his room with a pistol tucked on his hip. The agent in charge asked:
Why the pistol, Mr. President He replied In case you boys cant get the
job done, I can help. It was common for him to carry a pistol. When he
met with Gorbachev, he had a pistol in his briefcase. Upon learning
that Gary Hart was caught with Donna Rice, Reagan said, Boys will be
boys, but boys will not be Presidents.[He obviously either did not
know or forgot JFK's and LBJ's sexcapades!]*
She was very nice but very protective of the President; and the Secret
Service was often caught in the middle. She tried hard to control what
the President ate, and he would say to the agent, Come on, you gotta
help me out. The Reagans drank wine during State dinners and special
occasions only; otherwise, they shunned alcohol; the Secret Service
could count on one hand the times they were served wine during their
family dinner. For all the fake bluster of the Carters, the Reagans
were the ones who lived life as genuinely moral people.*

GEORGE H. & BARBARA BUSH
Extremely kind and considerate Always respectful. Took great care in
making sure the agents comforts were taken care of. They even brought
them meals, etc. One time Barbara Bush brought warm clothes to agents
standing outside at Kennebunkport; one agent was given a warm hat, and
when he tried to nicely say no thanks even though he was obviously
freezing, President Bush said Son, dont argue with the First Lady, put
the hat on. He was the most prompt of the Presidents He ran the White
House like a well-oiled machine. She ruled the house and spoke her
mind.*

BILL & HILLARY CLINTON
Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy he was nice mainly
because he wanted everyone to like him, but to him life is just one
big game and party. Everyone knows of his sexuality. She is another
phony. Her personality would change the instant cameras were near. She
hated with open disdain the military and Secret Service. She was
another one who felt people were there to serve her. She was always
trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton.*

ALBERT GORE
An egotistical ass, who was once overheard by his Secret Service
detail lecturing his only son that he needed to do better in school or
he would end up like these guys pointing to the agents.*

GEORGE W. & LAURA BUSH
The Secret Service loved him and Laura Bush. He was also the most
physically in shape who had a very strict workout regimen. The Bushes
made sure their entire administrative and household staff understood
they were to respect and be
considerate of the Secret Service.
She was one of the nicest First Ladies, if not the nicest; she never
had any harsh word to say about anyone. KARL ROVE was in fact, though,
the guy who was the most caring of the Secret Service in the
administration.*

BARACK & MICHELLE OBAMA
Clinton all over again hates the military and looks down on the Secret
Service. He is egotistical and cunning; looks you in the eye and
appears to agree with you, but turns around and does the opposite
untrustworthy. He has temper tantrums. She is a complete bitch, who
basically hates anybody who is not black; hates the military; and
looks at the Secret Service as servants. A taxpayer voting for Obama
is like a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.

ROMNEY ON THE RIGHT

I love the songs of "Phantom Of The Opera," so I couldn't resist writing a short presidential election campaign song based on this classic PHANTOM masterpiece...

______________________________________________________________

Does Mitt Romney Have A Plan?

There is a false narrative from the Democrat operatives saying Romney has no plan to save America from the economic abyss. Unless you are a member of the plant kingdom, or a dishonest leftist, you can clearly see Romney's decisive model for this great nation. He has outlined it several times in the debates, & it is laid out nicely on his campaign website.

http://www.mittromney.com/JobsPlan

As you can see, he has some great ideas that will stimulate our economy. Energy independence will provide millions of jobs for our citizens, & placing a cap on federal spending below 20% of GDP is a fantastic method for balancing our budget & ending the National Debt.

Even better, Mitt Romney has been a wildly successful builder of successful economies in both the private & public sectors. As Governor of Massachusetts, he worked with a Democrat majority government to solve his state's issues, something Obama has not done at any stage of his political career.

If you haven't done it, I encourage you to go on this site linked above, & take a look at the full plan. it is an excellent blueprint for American prosperity.


Now, there are many people who claim Obama doesn't have a plan for America. I must strenuously disagree with this faulty claim. Barack Obama has a very clear path for this country, & has been laying it down over the past four years.

In the midst of a financial crisis, he told us it was more important to implement a master plan for health care, which is nothing more than another cog in the socialist machine. It won't get America working again, & in fact, will cause MORE citizens to be jobless.

In spite of his claims to bring the opposition together in a new spirit of cooperation, he has divided this country more than any leader in U.S. history! When the leaders of Congress & the White House came together in the Obamacare debacle, Obama proclaimed that elections matter, & he was not obligated to compromise with his opposition. This is not exactly the cooperation he was touting in his first presidential campaign & subsequent election.

Most recently, he fostered the growth of Islamic extremist groups in the Middle East, calling it the "Arab Spring," & proudly trumpeting the rise of democracy in that region. Unfortunately, there was nothing good, nor anything democratic about the rise of these Muslim factions, & it led to increased violence & the death of four Americans. His obvious lack of attention to security in this region underscores his dangerous world view that Islam is a peaceful religion. Worse yet, he has been engaged in a scandalous cover-up to hide his weakness in foreign affairs, as he struggles to save his presidency.


So, we are faced with a choice between two men with a plan.

Do we choose a guy who uses slick slogans to enamour the masses, with a plan that has already proven to be a failure?

OR

Should we select a proven leader who has a workable plan & a successful track record of building prosperous economies?

WHAT'S THE PLAN?

I came across this campaign poster from our friends at Planned Parenthood, & you have to wonder why they would gladly broadcast this barbaric practice of infanticide:


The fine folks at Planned Parenthood are excellent at Euphemistic narratives, but not so good at telling the raw truth. Let me help them improve their skills in this area...

TOP FIVE LIES THAT CAN HURT YOU

As I was browsing through Facebook recently, one of my friends had a very informative link that warranted my attention.  



The importance of clearly articulating my reasons for choosing real change in our leadership cannot be understated, which is why I thoroughly enjoy this concise list of Obama lies, & the corresponding retorts of TRUTH, brought to you by Breitbart.com  

TOP FIVE FALSE ECONOMIC IDEAS  

BELIEVED  
BY  
OBAMA  
AND HIS  UNINFORMED SUPPORTERS



5. The Bush tax cuts caused the recession/deficit. This is what Obama means when he warns voters about the "policies of the past." But the recession was triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis, in which Democrat policies going back to Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter were major factors. In fact, after 2005, during the height of the Bush expansion (2002-6), tax revenues were up from their pre-tax levels. And after 2003, deficits declined until the recession--and the return of Democrats, and their high-spending ways, to positions of power.
4. Obama stopped a second Great Depression. The worst was over when Obama took office, and the rebound was under way--until Obama stopped it with the heavy hand of Obamacare and other interventions. The stimulus failed, the auto bailout was a wash, "green" jobs sputtered, and Obama's enormous debts created new economic threats. Those sectors of the economy that are performing best--such as the booming shale natural gas and domestic oil industries are those in which Obama has been unable to intrude very far. (Yet.)

3. A slow recovery was inevitable. Well, yes, if you consider that we elected a left-wing Democrat who wanted to "spread the wealth around" rather than focusing on jobs and economic growth. But the jury is still out on whether financial collapses are followed by slow recoveries. And one thing is clear: the Obama administration predicted rapid economic growth, including an unemployment rate that would not rise above 8% with Obama's policies. The Obama campaign only adopted its new line once its record of failure had become clear.
2. Obama's policies are working. The only one President Obama dares mention is the auto bailout--which is working so well that General Motors is laying off thousands of workers and the government refuses to sell its shares lest it absorb a massive loss. Meanwhile, the non-union workers who were cheated out of their pensions while Obama gave the unions a big piece of the pie before sending the company to bankruptcy court may beg to differ. Household incomes have dropped, joblessness is alarming, dependence on government is increasing.
1. Nobody could have done better. This is the line that Clinton--who certainly did better--is being wheeled out to promote, though he knows the truth. No recovery from a deep recession has even been this weak, or this slow. In fact, nearly everyone has done better than Obama since the Second World War. With all the positive spin on bad economic data he could possibly have hoped for, with a (now disbanded) dream team of economic advisers, Obama still could not make the right choices. The truth is that no one could have done worse.

FOR THE GOOD OF MYSELF

Respect Life 


A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:

'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.'

So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.'

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!'

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.'

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

Love says, 'I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person.' Abortion says, 'I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.'

OBAMA'S NEXT FOUR

Here is a little glimpse into the next four years if Barack Obama wins this 2012 election, & the American people will not be happy about this.

We must look at the entire machine of government to understand the stakes of this political season, & not merely the results of the Presidential election. While it is fun to imagine that your agendas can be realized if your candidate gets the job, it is largely an exercise in futility.


It has been projected that the U.S. Senate will likely be controlled by the Republicans throughout the next four years, & the House of Representatives will continue to be dominated by the elephants as well. What does this mean for an Obama Presidency in the next few years? It means an increasing climate of gridlock, where the two factions will not work together & nothing is accomplished.

There are many critics who would ask how Bill Clinton was able to forge an alliance with the Republican controlled Congress & create a budget surplus along with much needed entitlement reforms. The answer is, Slick Willy is a pragmatist who took the necessary steps to protect his legacy. Although Billy did possess a set of values that stood in opposition to conservative beliefs, he was willing to reach across the aisle & compromise, so he could get some of the things he wanted.

You might ask yourself, "Why can't Obama be just like Clinton? If you have paid attention in the past four years, you can answer your own question.

You see:

We served with Bill Clinton. We knew Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton was a friend of ours. Mr. Obama, you are no Bill Clinton.


In the first two years of his presidency, Barack had the Congress in his back pocket, with a sufficient Democrat majority in both houses. He used his power to ram the liberal progressive agenda down America's throat, as we witnessed in the Obamacare debacle. He showed no interest in working with Republicans, & would not even think to adopt any conservative plans to fix our health care issues or get our jobless citizens back to work.

The scariest part is, The Democrats had total control, & could have seized the opportunity to use ALL resources available in saving our economy, but instead, Obama & the Democrats chose to pass their progressive pet projects, which were nothing more than social experiments gone bad. Obama gave $90 billion to his "green energy" factions, which yielded only bankruptcy & more debt to the American taxpayer. Incidentally, compare this amount to the less than $3 billion in tax subsidies given annually to the Oil industry, which has a track record of actually providing reliable & efficient energy to America.

In 2010, just two years after the President won the White House, the House of  Representatives was overtaken by the Republicans, & the Democrat dominated Senate lost much of its power, as the Democrats lost a few critical seats. NOW, we can take a glimpse into Barack's ability to bring all sides together, since he was incapable of steamrolling his left wing agenda throughout the land. What did we get? NOTHING. Obama continues to defend his own ideologies wholly against any other ideas, & will not extend a hand to work with his opposition. Much worse, he repeatedly blames his opponents in Congress for the gridlock, even though the Republicans have offered common sense plans for this country with some bipartisan support.


If you believe Obama will somehow change his behavior & begin to work with a Republican Congress, show me your evidence. The President has shown NO desire to compromise in his first term, in varying congressional conditions, so why should we give him the chance to do so for another critical four years while America burns?...

Clinical psychologists would diagnose Obama as terminally narcissistic. He is so arrogant, he can't lower himself to adopt any idea that he didn't espouse or design himself. This is evidenced by a recent statement he made when passing an intrusive executive decision. He said he had to make a decision because Congress wouldn't act. This runs against our system based on the Constitution, but Obama has shown complete disdain & disregard for our sacred document. When Congress shows a lack of mobility, it is the President's responsibility to immerse himself within their ranks to affect the necessary change, NOT to erase their authority with a tyrannical caveat.

Our founding fathers designed these Constitutional checks & balances in order to avoid the dictatorial nature of their former country. The foundation of America is freedom for the people, with government as their bond servants. We created a system that makes it very difficult for government to pass laws, which avoids hasty & oppressive dictates, as it should be. Obama stands in direct opposition to this paradigm, & therefore against the American people.


I believe gridlock within government is necessary at critical times, but only to the extent that it blocks laws perilous to our freedom. Statistics show, nearly twice as many Americans prefer a government that works together to solve our issues, with careful deliberation & due diligence. Mitt Romney has a proven track record of working with his opponents in government, & we would be wise to trust that he will do the same as President.  It is my hope that We The People will pursue our happiness on the Constitutional path of Romney's vision for a safe, effective government.

As we learn from the past four years, what can we expect from Barack Obama in his next four. You can count on countless more failed, expensive social experimentation & dangerous executive orders. Let's not give Obama four more years, let's give him & his family four airline tickets, in coach seating, back to Chicago...

My Open Letter To America

In this upcoming election, we are seeking the best candidate to lead our great nation back to the path of prosperity & freedom. To find the best person for the job, you must ask which one of these candidates has a proven track record of success as a leader.



Barack Obama has shown that he can organize a mob of angry people to agitate the electorate & create division & subsequent conquering of government positions for the implementation of socialist ideals. He promised to bring Americans together into a new era of cooperation & fundamental transformation. Remember his stirring words of inspiration, when he said,

"There is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America - there's the United States of America."

While these compelling words are a noble utterance, Obama has not even tried to live up to these lofty standards. As soon as he won the election in 2008, he began to exert his arrogance upon the opposition with impunity.

At the outset of his presidency, America was in the midst of a crushing economic disaster, & Obama's first order of business was NOT to get Americans working again, but to create another business killing bureaucratic nightmare called Obamacare, designed to appease the ghosts of liberals past & cement Barack's legendary legacy among the progressive giants throughout history.

To make matters worse, he was not the least bit interested in crafting a practical law that would include a variety of ideas from all groups represented in our government. Instead, he spiked the football in a taunt filled victory dance on multiple occasions with condescending words for his opponents. During one particular event, he directed the Republicans towards the "back of the bus," as he takes total control of American policies, just as a tyrant would do.

His passive foreign policy doctrine has been a complete failure, leaving millions of innocent people under the fierce force of radical dictators, & placing our own nation in mortal danger. Knowing that his ambassador to Libya was in serious danger, he denied armed protection for his representative, & the man was subsequently murdered by Islamic extremists. The Muslim mobs in Egypt & other Middle Eastern locations injured & killed innocent people in a planned conspiracy for the 9/11 anniversary. They put our embassy representatives in grave danger, with no help from the Obama Administration, yet he dismissed these tragedies as a "bump in the road."

Barack Obama has allowed America to lose it's AAA credit rating for the first time in HISTORY under his watch, & has increased our national debt by more in his four years than all other presidents combined in more than 200 years.


On the other hand, we have Mitt Romney, who has successfully run & revived several business economies into unrivaled prosperity. The office of the Presidency is exactly suited for the executive experience that Mitt Romney possesses, & we are in desperate need of strong leadership at this critical juncture. Romney was able to build the office giant STAPLES into the major player it is today. He also rescued the Olympics from the brink of destruction, which is not an easy task, given the many competing cultures involved.

As Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt was able to work across the aisle with all groups to get the job done, without the unnecessary divisive tactics. He has shown proficiency in both the private & public sectors, which his opponent, Obama, has not been able to accomplish at any time in his life.

In summation, we need a REAL LEADER, not a CHEERLEADER. Obama is the master of  fomenting discontent against those in power, but cannot properly lead when he usurps their mantle of management. For all of his impassioned rhetoric, Obama's record falls far short of his campaign promises. His only appealing qualities are his sharp appearance & smooth speaking style. This is typical among our vast choices in
politicians. We refer to these types as EMPTY SUITS.

Unfortunately, the cult of personality plays an all too important role in crowning our leaders in this country, but I am hopeful the urgency of this pivotal moment in history leads us to choose the manager instead of the rock star.

My Chat With Joe Paterno

I had the chance many years ago to chat with Joe Paterno in Florida while he was on a recruiting trip. After professing my respect for him & my loyal devotion to Syracuse, he wrote me this memorable love prose... 


545 vs. 300,000,000 People

545 vs. 300,000,000 People
 -By Charlie Reese 



Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.

When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ... If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

How To Keep Young People From Becoming Socialists


An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked; and that no one would be poor, and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”. All grades will be averaged, and everyone will receive the same grade; so, no one will fail, and no one will receive an A (substituting grades for dollars — something closer to home, and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged; and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset, and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less; and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride, too, so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame, and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings; and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED! The professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Couldn’t be any simpler.

These should be memorized by every young person:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Mannequin Holds Deputies in Sunday Standoff


Mannequin Holds Deputies in Sunday Standoff


CLARK COUNTY, Ohio —
Deputies in Clark County are investigating after someone placed a mannequin on the front porch of a house armed with a rifle.
On Sunday night, dispatchers received a 911 call from a resident at 5300 West National Road and reported that there was an unknown person on their front porch armed with a rifle.
The caller said that prior to the individual being on the front porch, the residents heard what they believed was a prowler outside the residence.
The residents of the house took safety in the basement. Deputies arrived and found a white man dressed in jean overalls and a red and grey sweatshirt sitting on the front porch with a long gun in his lap.
Deputies said they tried to give the person verbal commands, but got no response. Deputies were able to approach the subject from behind and discovered that the individual was a mannequin and that the firearm it was holding was a toy shotgun.
Detectives found that a relative of the victim, Tammy Moore, placed the mannequin on the porch as a practical joke. She was interviewed and stated that she and the homeowner regularly play practical jokes on one another.
Moore was charged with one count of inducing panic and ordered to appear in court.

Tebow's Tale is Not About Football


So... The legend grows from the heroics of a young warrior, fighting against his worthy football foes, & a vast array of vicious critics. If this was only about the game of football, we wouldn't be talking about this faith filled phenom. But the strong religious framework that binds this story line is compelling.

Religion seems to bring out the best, and worst, in all humanity. As a result, the battle lines between Tebowers & Tebooers are very clearly drawn & firmly entrenched. One side clings to their strong faith & values, while the other camp holds to their disdain for anything of spiritual value.

These divided factions have used Tim Tebow as their own personal chess piece, a pawn to advance their lofty agendas, while the young man himself has downplayed his own importance in this holy war.

The Tebow faithful draw inspiration & courage from a God fearing man who faces adversity with honor & humility. They believe his actions lend credence to the power & love of almighty God. His adoring supporters will assert Tim's ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles as divine intervention.


The anti-Tebow crowd will point to his weaknesses & failures at his position on the team, and downplay any victories, saying the defense won the game, or the opponent was not very good. I wonder how many people would allow someone else to destroy their ambitions with a fact sheet on all their shortcomings? We all aspire to greater things, and work to improve our weak spots. In this situation, those who oppose the anointed Bronco are blind to the dynamic nature of God's greatest creation. People do often get better at things in our lives, whether through diligent desire or pragmatic necessity.

If this is true, why do Tim's enemies insist upon creating a one dimensional character who is incapable of our most predominant trait? These people are not only challenging Tim Tebow, but also the very core of humanity, daring us to prove them wrong. The irony of this staunch opposition is amusing, because the only apparent weakness rests within the fundamentally flawed argument of these naysayers.

For a few weeks, it appeared as though the Tebow haters were right, as the Broncos bent & broke against their last 3 opponents. Tim's offense had no magic in these final affairs, so the haughty pundits came out of the woodwork to hammer one final nail into his coffin.

The Tebow faithful suffered three weeks without their savior, & the prospects of redemption looked bleak. They stood against the defending AFC Champions, & it seemed like the whole world was against them.

This reminds me of another dark tale with an infinitely more daunting challenge. In this story, some other faithful souls awaited sweet glory for three days, while facing the ridicule of their doubters & menacing cloak of a powerful empire. The end of that story was a testament to perseverance & belief against all odds, & this modern day drama is no different.


We see the beauty of diamonds, while forgetting the great pressure it takes to make such a wonderful creation. In life, we must endure resistance & forces that will seemingly crush us, in order to transform into a beautiful thing. The legend of Tim Tebow is the same, & serves as a grand reminder of our own mission in this world.

Still, we still suffer from the slings & arrows of those detractors who cannot accept the full force of this narrative, & they refuse to acknowledge the obvious divinely inspired metaphors contained therein. Many will say God doesn't care about football, so why should we?

Unfortunately, they don't understand the truth of God's methods for reaching humanity. Often, we ask for signs to show us that our creator is real, & he cares about us. This entire saga is full of God's hints, if we will open our eyes to it. Throughout history, other great heroes have faced challenges for the glory of God, & beat the odds to prove their faith. Interestingly enough, numbers seem to play a big role in revealing the divine nature of great events.

Did you know Tim Tebow passed for 316 yards in this epic playoff battle?

If you understand this number, you know what God thinks...

Iran to Launch Nuclear Work in Bunker in 'Near Future' TEHRAN — Iran Will Start Enriching Uranium



TEHRAN — Iran will start enriching uranium in the "near future" deep inside a mountain, a senior official said, a move likely to further antagonize Western powers thatsuspect Tehran is seeking nuclear weapons capability.

The Islamic Republic's decision to conduct sensitive atomic activities at an underground site that better protection against any enemy attacks could complicate diplomatic efforts to resolve the long-running row peacefully.

Iran has said for months that it is preparing to move its highest-grade uranium refinement work to Fordow, a facility near the Shi'ite Muslim holy city of Qom in central Iran, from its main enrichment plant at Natanz.

The United States and its allies say Iran is trying to build bombs, but Tehran insists its nuclear program is aimed at generating power and for medical purposes.

"The Fordow nuclear enrichment plant will be operational in the near future," the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani, said.

Uranium refined to purity levels of both 3.5 percent and 20 percent can be produced at the site, he added in comments carried by Iran's Kayhan newspaper on Sunday. One Western official said Iran's start-up of Fordow sends a political signal to show it will not bow to international demands to suspend uranium enrichment, activity which can have both civilian and military uses.

The West has imposed increasingly tight economic sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear program, culminating with a new law that President Barack Obama signed on New Year's Eve aimed at preventing buyers from paying for Iranian oil. "I would see it as another escalatory step on the Iranian side," said the official, who declined to be named.

As the sanctions pressure mounts on the major oil producer, Iran has called for fresh talks on its nuclear programme with the permanent members of the Security Council and Germany (P5+1), which have been stalled for a year.

Western powers repeatedly have made clear they are also ready for renewed diplomacy, but they stress that Iran must show it is willing to engage in meaningful discussions and start addressing growing international concerns about its work.

"They have to demonstrate they are going to be serious," the Western official said, speaking before Iran's latest announcement on Fordow's planned inauguration. Diplomats in Vienna, home to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the U.N. nuclear watchdog, told Reuters on Friday that Iran was believed to have begun feeding uranium gas into centrifuges in Fordow in late December as part of final preparations to use the machines for enrichment.

The centrifuges and other equipment needed to start enrichment were installed at Fordow last year. Iran already is refining uranium to a fissile purity of 20 percent — far more than the 3.5 percent level usually required to power nuclear energy plants — above ground at Natanz.

The country said last year it would move this higher-grade enrichment to Fordow, which like other Iranian nuclear sites is regularly inspected by the IAEA, and also sharply boost output capacity. The United States and Israel, Iran's arch foes, have not ruled out strikes against the Islamic state if diplomacy fails to resolve the dispute.

Iran disclosed the existence of Fordow to the IAEA only in September 2009 after learning that Western intelligence agencies had detected it. Tehran says it will use 20 percent-enriched uranium to convert into fuel for a research reactor making isotopes to treat cancer patients, but Western officials say they doubt that the country has the technical capability to do that. In addition, they say, Fordow's capacity — a maximum of 3,000 centrifuges — is too small to produce the fuel needed for nuclear power plants, but ideal for yielding smaller amounts of high-enriched product typical of a nuclear weapons programme.

Centrifuges spin at supersonic speeds, which enriches uranium by increasing the concentration of fissile isotopes. Nuclear bombs require uranium enriched to 90 percent, but Western experts say much of the effort required to get there is already achieved once it reaches 20 percent purity, shortening the time needed for any nuclear weapons "break-out."

They give different estimates of how quickly Iran could assemble a nuclear weapon if it decides to do so — ranging from as little as six months to a year or more.
