Common Mens Fashion Mistakes By : Azlan We all make fashion errors now and again, but several fashion mistakes made by men are just unpardonable and downright illegal. Based on personal experience, I have outlined eight fashion mistakes to avoid at all costs. Spectra and Kevlar Not a Fashion Statement By : kamikazeadmin Over the years, many improvements have been made in military and police garments to increase safety and create bullet proof body armor that is both comfortable and protective. However, in the past, being safe has meant a certain amount of bulk and discomfort, as well as added weight and mass for soldiers and officers facing combat on the battle fields and in urban wars. The use of Kevlar, a registered trademark of DuPont, has made body armor lighter and easier to work with, but flexibility has still been a problem. Today, there is a new substance in use called Spectra, a composite material that is stronger, lighter, and more flexible than Kevlar, which is changing the face of bullet proof wear for our troops and police forces. What are the major differences between Kevlar and Spectra, and what are the big advantages of the latter Government Seized Car Auction FAQs By : Where to find the undisclosed, unadvertised Government Seized Car Auction The 2 secrets to a long and happy life technology and productivity By : In life we see a general conflict between two sorts of minds. One mind-set is preoccupied with the past. Grievances, bitterness, conspiracies, and gloom, clouds the outlook of this group. They are prey to utopian fantasies and ignore the reality of the five senses. A second mind-set is reality based. This group sees the world for what it is, wishes to improve it, is progressive, energetic and lives in the real world, not much interested in fantasy ideologies. New debates, on old ideas, using old rhetoric By : There are a few topics that generate incredible emotion. Religion, poverty, corporate power, US imperialism, and gays ensure impassioned opinions. But little can match the current eco-fascist rhetoric on societal collapse due to climate change except perhaps the dire predictions of national catastrophe screeched out by free-trade hating Marxists. In the current non-debate over the remarkably insane Kyoto protocol [and global warming] one has to look back to free-trade debates in Europe and North America to witness the same apocalyptic nonsense dominating mainstream views. Never trust Russia By : In the 19th century before and after the Crimean war [1854-55] quite a few British politicians observed that Russia could be trusted less than the Arabs. Like the Arabs, the Russians were enigmatic, deceitful and unpredictable. As a popular song circa 1878 recorded, "We don't want to fight, but by jingo if we do...We've got the ships, we've got the men, and got the money too! We've fought the Bear before...and while we're Britons true...The Rooshuns shall not have Constantinople..." The song aptly sums up the fear of Russian expansionism. Fast forward to today and the same fears apply. In Iraq Bush has the urge to surge 3 years too late By : How does one win wars against a fascist ideology in an area of the world that has been a disaster for hundreds of years You dont win a war by doing it as cheaply as possible which leads to higher costs, more death, and inevitable sectarian animosity, which fills the power vacuum. Never in the history of military conflict have wars and occupations been successful by putting budget concerns and media PR ahead of winning. If good PR and restraining costs were the 2 key criteria of either the Second World War or the Cold War, the Western world would no longer exist. War and mindless happy talk By : We are not in Iraq to spread democracy we are there to destroy a regional threat and a nexus of terrorism, money and corruption. To achieve our goals we need to destroy the militias, terrorists and gangs that deform the country. In this regard Bushs rhetoric on Iraq is wearing thin and I cant be the only one sick of hearing his concern for the beating hearts of Iraq. Maybe winning the war first decisively - is a good idea before engaging in tear jerking rhetoric about hearts and minds. Whether Arabs, Iraqis or Muslims want anything from the West - other than guns - is open to dispute. So win the war first and shut up about hearts and minds. Halloween Can Be Sexy By : Adults and children alike have always treated Halloween as one of their most favorite holidays of all time. But over the last decade, the level of participation by adults has grown tremendously. Of course theres a very good reason for this. It goes far more beyond that of helping kids choose and put on their costumes and giving out candies to trick-or-treaters. Its the one night of the year that grown-ups can dress up as any fantasy they want, and have their persona excepted. Do you love good sex By : Do you love good sex most of us do. What is it that single most powerful force that drives men to give up everything for the sake of sex with a woman Gone are the days when people could have multiple partners without the use of a condom, and other safe sex practices. Giving Your Home a Makeover By : Azlan When you come home from work, the last thing you want to see is your room looking as frazzled and drained out as you. You want to makeover your home, but you dont know where to start! Not all home decorating projects have to mean knocking down walls and hiring a contractor. Fear not, all is not lost. You can easily accomplish these tips over a few days and bring a lifeless, dull room back to life. Simple Style Tips By : Azlan Are you a woman whos frequently out of sorts when it comes to fashion Dont be! I will guide you avoid pitfalls and direct you towards dressing for style and success. Smart phone may spark OS defection By : Palm Inc. launched last month its second Treo smart phone running the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, dubbed Treo 700wx, and industry observers say this new product could cause traditional enterprise Palm OS users to jump ship to Microsofts more familiar platform. Managing the white-collar road warrior devices, tips and what and what not to do By : If you dont spend a lot of time in hockey arenas, you might not know that a number of them have Wi-Fi hotspots. Running away from Iraq is easy. Dealing with the consequences is not. By : Before last Novembers US elections I wrote the following which rings even truer today, once the Democrats win control of the house, [there will be] a victory for terrorism as the US winds down its commitment and leaves Iraq in chaos. The widespread contempt for America in the Middle East is the result of the American unwillingness to utterly efface those who are fighting against US forces in the region. This includes border infiltrations by Iranian, and Syrian arms, money and jihadists. Three months later on and the situation has worsened with the US Congress getting ready to stop funding the Iraq war and already no doubt making plans behind the scenes to leave during 2008. Iraq and Iran another example of weakness leading to more violence. By : So Iran and Islam are again rattling the bloody sabre of confrontation. It is clear that weakness begets war. As that old Anglo white warmonger capitalist-conservative Churchill stated, Nations which go down fighting rise again, those who surrender tamely are finished. Tamely surrendering to fascist Islam, running out of Iraq and Afghanistan to placate chattering socialist morons at home and in the media, or the opportunistic cowardly and fainant, will only embolden civilizations enemies. Mobile Technology Shorts: Motorola buys Good; HP Ipaq 6900 launched; 2.6 B worldwide users By : 1) Motorola Inc. agreed to acquire closely held Good Technology Inc., which provides wireless email technology that competes with Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry system. 50 million Muslims are now in Europe. The great conquest is underway. By : The lying liberal media only reports what it wants you to hear. Illegal immigrants killing innocents and selling drugs Never on the news. The spread of AIDS through promiscuous homosexuality and dirty needles Drug users and gays are victims not criminals. Islam dominating Europe through demography and cultural intolerance No need to discuss that since Islam is a wonderful ideology of peace and love. The lies and distortions over something as important as the destruction of Western high culture is criminal insanity. You would never know the depth and power of the Muslim population and its threat to Europes existence if you depended on the liberal media for your information. European lies about unemployment rates By : European governments, aided by bad publications like the Economist magazine, always distort EU economic data. A classic example is employment. In the US and Canada unemployment rates are 4.9% and 6.7% respectively. In Europe the aggregate EU number is supposedly 7.5% - far worse than the US and only slightly higher than statist Canada. It does not sound so bad. But parse the numbers, look at the countries that are producing jobs, analyze real employment rates and you will see the EU lie for what it is politically managed propaganda. Apples iphone might lead to Apple Enterprise computing By : Some 25 years ago, Steve Jobs and Apple lost the war of corporate computing to IBM and Microsoft. I imagine, though, that Jobs probably considers it just a battle in his own Thirty Years War against Microsoft and its founder. While Apples recent iPhone announcement was completely focused on consumers, the iPhone might also serve to bolster Apples position in the enterprise. Europe's economy is 30 years behind the US By : A just released EU Observer report states the obvious: If income (GDP per capita) would grow in the US at 2 percent per year and in the EU at 3 percent per year, meaning a 1 percent higher growth of the EU, the EU would catch up with the US around 2045. Europe is a full generation behind and poorer than the Americans. Imagine the furor in the States if CNN reported that Americans lived in 2007 on 1977 living standards versus their European rivals. There would be a revolution. 50 years of 'Euro-pia' socialism By : When your economy fails, so does everything else. Prosperity, wealth, trade, technology and profit accumulation dictates a lot in the structure of the political-economy. Likewise institutions, culture, and various freedoms impact the health, scope and depth of economic progress [or regression]. Without a strong economy you have no military, stunted private capital formation and a declining culture. Welcome to Europia 50 years of collective socialism that apparently is the greatest thing since hot water or Jesus Christ. But of course the Euros disavow spirituality and technology. Turkey's genocidal and anti-Christian past By : Turkey, an Asian country with a history of genocide against non-Muslims does not belong in the EU. Turkey has nothing in common with Europe. History, culture, economy, political structure and attitudes are remarkably divergent between Europe and Islamic and Asian Turkey. None of the factors that make up a modern, progressive and vibrant nation state exists in Turkey. This says nothing of the 5 million non-Muslims the Turks murdered between 1896 and 1923. As Hitler commented when asked about Western reaction to liquidating the Jews, does anyone remember the Armenians This alone should forever mark Turkey as a non-European and pariah state. European Socialism is supporting Islamo-fascism By : Multi-culturalism leads ineluctably to the collapse of civilization. It divides up society into groups and protest fora. It destroys the majoritarian culture and intelligent political discourse. It excuses itself from the difficult tasks of building civilization. It acquiesces as political demagogues usurp more power and more money, to appease cultural and societal sensibilities. So it comes to pass that socialist sympathy allies itself with Islamo-fascism. The China Syndrome - selective capitalism should not hide the obvious future conflict with Beijing By : For those so inclined the big money in investing and high returns lies in the economic accession and growth of India and particularly China. Chinese index funds returned more than 40% in 2006 and expect more of the same in 2007. Chinese and Indian demand will keep oil and commodity prices high for the next 5 years. Another play on the China syndrome buy Exxon and hold. For the small investor the awakening of Napoleons sleeping giant is a boon but how about for the political-economy of East Asia and the Pacific How should we view China beyond being a place of profits and high returns Chinas inaction on North Korea and its stalking of Russian resources should provide some clear clues. Tips To Secure Your Online Dating Safety By : Online personals and dating can be a very fun venue towards meeting that special someone. However, one's safety should still be the top priority. Did you know that most online dating services do not pre-screen their users This means that they cannot ensure that the people you meet through their sites are safe enough to be dealt with. So, this makes you call the shots when it comes to screening them. The Risks of Online Dating By : There is no question that the popularity of online dating has revolutionized the way potential couples meet each other. These days, it is not uncommon for the average single person to participate in an online dating service. In fact, this trend is fast becoming the norm. In 2004, it was estimated that residents in the U.S. spent more than $460 million on online dating services. Special groups online dating tips By : Caution! Do be aware that online dating is not a totally safe environment. Be very careful in investing your money, time and heart in it. Online dating: Is it right for you By : Should you go online dating Why not That is the answer for many of those undecided and unsure of Internet dating. There are many reasons for doing so, and by being a member of online dating services, you are expanding your social circle and raising your hopes to find your perfect match. Why many prefer online dating over traditional one By : Gone are the days when dating means courting your future spouse you met at school or in your neighborhood. Romance could blossom now with the click of a mouse. Wicklow Communities Networking By : Paul Leahy Wicklow Communities Networking is holding a number of seminars covering matters of concern to the community and voluntary sector. The network has been in existence for some years but up to now failed to make a significant impact on the community sector. Wireless comparison: 802.xx vs. EVDO a test and a future prediction By : It's the Suits versus the Cowboys in the battle for your wireless future. The Suits are the cellular carriers; the Cowboys are entrepreneurs implementing the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' 802.xx protocols. The Suits bring zillions of dollars in wireless infrastructure, a long operating history, a huge base of captive customers, thousands of roaming agreements and vertical integration of systems, software and services. The Cowboys bring ... uh, they bring ... uh ... well, they'll improvise. My money is on the Cowboys. The battle replays minicomputers and PCs. The minicomputers were the Suits. The PCs were the Cowboys. PCs won handily. Here's the story for wireless. Apples IPhone will impact Companies By : Image-conscious executives who want to own the latest tech gadgets might put their companies at risk if they try to connect iPhones to corporate networks, warns an analyst City of Toronto - Canada's socialist microcosm By : All big cities in Canada and Europe suffer from the same socialist rot and Marxist malaise and posturing. Toronto as the epi-center of the country is a microcosm of all that is wrong with the glorious and not-so democratic peoples republic. Run by socialists, suffering from over-taxation and debt, the city and its 30% of citizens that care to vote is heading into hard times. Crime is up, homelessness is rampant and the city is dirty all thanks to socialist compassion. It is not so much a modern city as a functioning welfare home for immigrants and a tax machine for left wing bureaucrats and snivelling politicians. Socialism always promises a new deal! Toronto is no exception. By : Merry Marxists and salivating socialists are obsessed with new deals. In any major speech, platform appearance or budget proposal, the happy class warriors usually revert back to type and propose new deals to ensure equality, love, compassion, and to protect the values of [insert nation state, region or city here], or communal justice. The new deal is of course an old fantasy. New deal proposals are a sure sign that the person introducing the concept is another power-mongering, classless class-warrior, intent on expanding government and unaccountable powers. The term new deal is just a nice moniker to hide the grasping claw of left wing mismanagement. Alternative Energy fantasies By : A good description of the eco-fascist cults rhetoric and the nonsense regarding the nirvana of alternative energy, is from the merry Marxist economist Keynes: Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler a few years back. The Arar case - if there is smoke there is fire By : Conservative leader and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper badly needs Arab votes to improve his political position. The Arab lobby in Montreal and Toronto is very strong. Arab and Muslim money already greases the wheels of the Liberal party federally and in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. In both major cities the Arabs and Muslims comprise 15 % of the voting populist. Harper, ever the populist, desires to maintain power and form a majority government. Welcome to the decadence of multi-cultural politics regardless of what the truth is, or what good policy might be. The Charter of Wrongs By : Nothing gets the socialists and moralists more inflamed with bursting national pride than to point out how nice Canada is and how wonderful Canadians are. While the self-proclaimed superiority of Canadians is more than mildly obnoxious, it is the lack of substance to back up such claims that really grates. A document chattering about rights is one clear example of misplaced communal pride. Considering that no-one in the kind Dominion has read the document it might as well be Das Kapital that is the central bible of Canadian superiority. How can you support a document you have never read and have no idea about Financing Rural Regeneration in Wicklow By : Paul Leahy One method of rural regeneration involves the financing of businesses in rural areas with outside assistance, which would not have succeeded independently and were encouraged through various government sponsored initiatives to regenerate declining rural economies. Grant aid would be the most utilised source of funding. Many of these enterprises that would have been set up by private individual entrepreneurs would be partly financed by owners equity as a condition of grant aid. Within this context of outside assisted enterprises, other sources of finance, subject to the terms of grant aid such as leasing of plant or hire purchase arrangements for vehicles would also be utilised. mobile buses and new infirmary By : A Canadian health provider that works with the homeless is using wireless technology to link up the clinic, its mobile buses, and new infirmary so that electronic medical records can be accessed at any point of care. Phone and Software Makers Urge Cheaper Web Mobiles By : BARCELONA (Reuters)Wireless operators need to make mobile Internet much cheaper if they want it to become a success that can generate extra revenues, major mobile phone and mobile software makers said on Feb. 12. Mobile Technology shorts - Feb 14, 2007 By : 1) Research In Motion introduced Monday its BlackBerry 8800, designed to offer up multimedia consumer features to the corporate user. Getting Started with Online Dating By : For anyone who is new to the world of online dating, things could get a little confusing. Online dating differs from real life dating in many ways. One of the key differences is that with online dating, all of the action is done via the internet. How Can You Tell If You Are Being Deceived By : Since the advent of the Internet, online dating seems to be the next generation's way of falling in love and getting married. Mobile device shipment growth continues By : A growing consumer appetite for converged devices boosted last years sales of smart phones to over 64 million units but further eroded the dwindling market share of unconnected personal digital assistant (PDA) products, according to analysts. How to have an impressive date with a woman By : Asking her for a date: Why Cuba is superior By : Stew Mayers Dear comrades I write you while in ill health but still supremely confident of my own egotistical grandeur and historical relevance. I write you as your ageing but superlative expression of true manhood and physical male glory. I write you not as an old, tired leader worn down by my ceaseless struggles against the satanic forces that control the world political-economy; but as a prophet of socialist utopia and a caring father of our beloved island. I am dear friends, writing to you as a companion of Christ, a comrade of Che Guevara and Hugo Chavez and the greatest benefactor that Cuba has ever seen. I write to inform you of our own greatness and of my own magnificence and to make sure that beyond my life we carry on in Cuba and in all of Latin America our glorious revolution. Make Christianity relevant and moral By : Stew Mayers Is Christianity doomed Is it on the wane Is it stronger than we may think It is hard to answer any of these questions but there are two things about the Church we should know. First its product and philosophy is out of step with the modern world and far too supernaturally focused. Second, most if not all mainstream churches are left-wing and display disturbing immoral relativity on key issues ranging from the market; to fighting Islamic fascism; to even acknowledging the extermination of literally millions of Christians by Muslims. These weaknesses in the mainstream churches make it doubtful that we need Christianity to save our civilization. If the churches are aligned against our civilization what good are they In defence of the Christian nation state By : Stew Mayers Nation states are necessary creations allowing varied and formulaic control over political, legal and economic processes for a defined geographically bound group of people. Nation states are more however than economic unions, common spaces, and constitutional mandates. They are organisms. Cultural mores, emotional attachments, and collective understandings are far more important to the development and maintenance of a nation state than elitist documents; arcane legal statutes; or multi-cultural inspired concepts of being nice, diverse or happy. A nation state is a collection of people with shared linguistics, histories, aptitudes, and objectives. Yet here we have the soft modern Western mind and state, engaged in a war with Islamic fascists, erecting more mindless mommy-state programs, secularism and destroying civilisational concepts and nation state creations through Islamic immigration, appeasement, multi-culturalism and post modern socialist management and ethos. It is a highly disturbing and enraging scenario. Disobeying natural law By : Stew Mayers Freedom is a Western concept. Freedom of expression, association, economic choice, and freedom from arbitrary rule and violence is essential. Part of the greatness of civilization is the containment of uncivilized behavior and instincts. Culture, guilt, shame, quality, expectations all these and more play decisive roles in shaping behavior. Natural law, which few discuss and fewer know about, is a key basis for Western civilization. Yet the media; the elite; the educational experts [an ironic oxymoron there]; and even the church and most parents have no idea what this important concept means. Hence the rise of everything from gay sex in public, to Britney Spears kissing Madonna on stage, to the decline of real Conservatism in public affairs. Ignoring natural law and high standards leads to social degeneration. Why is Islam a religion By : Stew Mayers Imagine that you have traveled to another location to attend to personal affairs. You step off a train in some locale, take your bags and proceed to your destination. You walk a few paces to find some transport. Then the reality of ideological contamination assaults you. Why is Islam a religion - #3 By : Stew Mayers The 20th centurys most universally respected Islamic scholar is Dr. Arthur Jeffery. He headed the Department of Middle East Languages at Columbia University and taught linguistics at the School of Oriental Studies in Cairo. He wrote: "The briefest investigation suffices to reveal that the problem of Islamic sources is relatively simple, for most volumes represent little more than the working over (with fabulous and irrelevant additions and modifications) of perhaps half a handful Arabic texts of primary importance. Why is Islam a religion - #2 By : Stew Mayers Note: Readers can look up a translated Koranic verse in multiple languages, by visiting the website www.quranbrowser.com and typing in references. For example: 47:1-1. (47 is the chapter or sura, and 1-2 are the verses). The metamorphosis of Socialism to Populist Statism By : Stew Mayers As welfare demands, reforms and expectations have grown so too has governments ability to recast political ideology and terms in its own self interested favour. Especially poignant has been governments reordering of economic, moral and spatial values in the left vs. right terminology. Government reform of its economic philosophy to become more liberal and egalitarian has also instigated a redefinition of socialisms attitude towards its own populist configuration. Hollywoods oligopolistic control of low culture By : Stew Mayers In a competitive market Hollywood as an industry would fail. Hollywood is an oligopolistic industry that has excessive power and little restraint. In general Hollywood provides bad product, repetitive models, less than exhilarating and uplifting personalities, and a culture that is extremist in its anti-Western, anti-capitalist and anti-Republican posture. In a normally functioning and competitive market, Hollywood would be dead-wood. But sadly in its oligopolistic position it just accretes more power. Its impact is devastating. Low culture and lower intelligence By : Stew Mayers Or rather no culture and low civilization. Narcissism. Rudeness. Low standards. No responsibility. The ethos of pop culture is the anti-thesis of civilisational progress. Aided by the media, the educational system, the post-modern political elite, the West has developed 3 generations of perpetual adolescents, smug in ignorance, glorying in irrelevance. Anyone who knows more about the travails Britney Spears than the development of Greco-Romano civilization supports that obvious observation. LAWS OF MAGNETIC ACTION. By : dechenlau LAWS OF MAGNETIC ACTION. Kerala cuisine : Feasting on Gods bounty By : Keralas cusine is characterised by the use of ingredients extensively grown on its fertile lands along the coconut- fringed beaches, around the back waters and on the slopes of the Western Ghats. The back waters and the rivers feed the fertile lands where rice is grown in abundance. Aarboiled rice is the staple food of the Malayalees. Being a rice growing region, keralites are known to prepare varieties with rice flour and beaten rice. Tapioca a rood rich in carbohydrate, is another speciality of Kerala. New mobile devices hold promise By : Stew Mayers New mobile devices, such as the iPhone and the OQO ultramobile PC, are putting heavy pressure on IT managers to address compatibility and security challenges that could create roadblocks to the use of the technologies by business workers. Philips and Intel enter handheld market By : Stew Mayers Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) announced its plan to design, manufacture and ship a Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA) to enable nurses and physicians to improve bedside patient care by using an integrated, wireless device to connect to patient information stored in electronic medical records. The MCA is a new category of mobile point-of-care devices that was designed with input from clinicians and through clinical workflow studies, interviews and ethnography research conducted by Intel Corporation. Concept designs of the Philips MCA are showcased at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2007 meeting, February 26 March 1 in New Orleans and are planned for production in the fourth quarter of this year. Y-2-Kyoto By : Stew Mayers Imagine if you will, you are a judge presiding over a criminal trial. The Crown Prosecutor stands up and says, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I say to you 'unequivocally,' that providing our computers are right, and providing the DNA evidence is correct, we are '90 percent certain' that the defendant is 'very likely' guilty." Global warming fantasies and the eco-cult of true believers! By : Stew Mayers Hot off the UN presses we will all die from a natural gas called Co2! Global Warming fantasies that the earth is becoming one giant microwave heated up by mans pernicious and insatiable industrial development is of course ridiculous. The only consensus that exists on climate change is that if you believe anything the UN or Al Gore says, you are probably a moron and should exile yourself to the nearest forest to tree hugging duty. Al Gore and the UN on almost any topic, have the credibility level of Hugo Chavez when he opines on his socialist-democracy experiment. The coming Ice Age. The science is closed. By : Stew Mayers The latest UN eco-cult political document on Globaloney warming, left out the Mann hockey stick curve which purportedly showed that the late 20th century was the hottest on record. The media and their liberal friends did not wail, the UN lied, and millions were not fried. Instead with child-like fascination they accepted the venerable UN eco-activist report with nary a question, comment or searching query as why the hockey stick curve was dropped and what that might mean about UN science. Cooking up models to support Marxist suppositions should at least be open to scorching criticism. The $100 Billion Globaloney-Warming money grab By : Stew Mayers So how much money was invested by governments during the 1970s to scare-monger the population about Global Cooling Good question. During the 1970s about $5 billion [in todays money] was paid by governments in Europe and North America to various government-dependent institutes, to not only study, but broadcast the impending ice age. Now just 30 years later the same cycle repeats, except that the monies involved have increased by a factor of 20 - and this is only the beginning Why oceans and waterways should be privatized By : Stew Mayers There are two main arguments in favor of privatizing rivers and oceans. The first is that private ownership of property guarantees proper water use and development. Historically the private use of land, including domesticated animals on private land, proves this to be a simple fact. Second, private corporations can work together with regulatory agencies to ensure that rivers, lakes and ocean areas are taken care of to meet in part; parliamentary, democratic, statutory and public opinion desires - much better than politicized bureaucracies. We all win irregardless of ideological dogma and mind-numbing political cant. The unbearable stupidity of Al Gore By : Stew Mayers There are many descriptions which aptly fit Al Gore the 35 year political veteran. Appellations such as dumb, deceitful, ignorant, demagogic, hypocrite, or mad would be appropriate. Gore has raised money illegally, lied incessantly on various topics, paid his own firm to trade credit-emissions to offset his carbon footprint and uttered phrases so mind-numbingly dumb that even G.W. Bushs inconsistent grasp of English and logic looks Churchillian by comparison. The old Oracle of Delphi in the new Eco-cult of Al Gore By : Stew Mayers The original earth goddess cult at Delphi in ancient Greece has many similarities with todays eco-fascist earth loving cult. Both are pagan. Both rely on unscientific methods. Both are regulated by a high priest caste. Both extract monies for their prophecies. Both provide gibberish dressed up as intelligence. Both desire to manipulate politics for monetary advantage. Both are deranged. Yet the Romans had to good sense to shut down the Oracle at Delphi in 390 AD. I wonder if we have the good sense to shut down the modern version of the earth goddess cult The economic agenda of the Eco-cult and the EU By : Stew Mayers For the EU, Kyoto and the eco-cult scam [$100 billion in public funding and counting.], is a key attempt to lessen its economic disparity with the USA. The EU is the worlds largest economic area, comprises 450 million people, and is in the process of trying to digest 10 new member states. Yet the EU is failing economically and socially especially vis a vis its American and Asian rivals. The UNO inspired eco-cult and its associated Marxist schemes of redistribution, government management and higher energy costs are European attempts to reduce American economic superiority and level the economic playing field. It has nothing to do with saving the earth goddess. The great historian Braudel and climate change. By : Stew Mayers From the handy Webster dictionary the entry for cult is: great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially: such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad. Devotion to a fad is the key idea. It is an apt description of the mother Gaia cult of eco-fascist hyperbole and irrationality devoted to implausible and unscientific ideas and abstract Marxist ideology. The current green cult is no more intelligent, rational or environmentally friendly than the earth cults of Sumeria, Assyria, ancient Egypt or the 2000 year old pagan cult centered at Delphi in Greece. Nor is it more enlightened and relevant than the Druidic cults which were smashed by the Romans in Gaul and Britain. Cults are simply bad news. Chant in unison with dilated pupils: Eco-cult, Eco-cult, Eco-cult. By : Stew Mayers With $20 billion per annum in public funding the modern earth cult can easily spend some nickels to attract cult members. I can well imagine that soon, on prime time TV, [or a gay sitcom], will be the tax-payer funded eco-cult recruitment, You must join us advert. It will show a wide expanse of meadow populated by masses of automatons with arms outstretched resembling a fuehrer cult rally. Their laconic voices will repeat the intonation, save the earth goddesssave the earth goddess The camera will sweep in and out showing mindless, fixated faces with dilated pupils staring upwards, saliva seeping out of their mouths, whitening their black tunics. A comparison of tax rates in the OECD By : Stew Mayers A critical component for the elite of the current nation state is the statist and populist desire to control the resources of production and to manage the distribution of wealth and to a lesser extent consumption. This has meant that in the West we have seen an increase in the practice of private property (income streams) and capital (taxation, regulation, foreign investment controls, regulation and control of key industry sectors, FDI limitations), expropriation by the state. These borrowed monies are then redistributed in various guises to the working classes, the old, those below certain income ranges, people in certain regions, state sponsored industry sectors, health and welfare programs, and state building programs of all sizes and shapes. The low culture of homosexuality and social deviancy By : Stew Mayers There are many good reasons to oppose the glorification of homosexuality in society. This does not mean that those who do are racists [like Muslims gays are not a race]; full of bigotry, or are rushing out to the nearest gay bar with a baseball bat. Anyone who says they dislike homosexuality and gays is set upon like unarmed Christians in the Roman Coliseum circa 70 AD. How juvenile and how immature. Sound reasons exist to resist the march to acclaim homosexuality as respectable and normal. It is only a politically immature and intolerant society that refuses to hear the dissenters. Car insurance and government incompetence - high taxes, fraud and regulatory waste. By : Stew Mayers Car insurance. A recent study maintains that in the good Canadian Democratic Republic [D.R.] car insurance rates are only 30% higher than in the US, and only, [in the industrialized heartland of the communal paradise], running at $1300 per year. Sure they are. I dont know of one single person amongst say 100, which has a car insurance rate that low in Canadas urban heartland. Car insurance rates are far higher than some accounting mean average and as government regulation increases, so does fraud, rates, and consumer frustration. In Canada alone I counted 59 regulatory bodies and agencies involved the car insurance market am I to believe that all of these are to protect me and to benefit me Doubtful. The crushing burden of the high tax mommy-state By : Stew Mayers Consider the example of Toronto - the economic engine of Canada. The city-state does 2/3 of its business with the USA and supports the growing resource industry in Western Canada with financial expertise and capital. Yet it sits inside a middle-sized country that does not even have internal free trade. In respect of socialist management [and a Constitutional buy-off of regions], Toronto must export $20-25 billion per annum to fund the rest of the country. This does not make economic sense when the infrastructure, tax structure and social/welfare burdens in Toronto are in dire straits. Welcome to the fantasy world of the modern socialist state. Exceptions abound but in general women are naturally left wing and Marxist By : Stew Mayers A feminist-marxist magazine sums up some deep reservations I have about women and their massive impact socially and politically, exemplified by this column from March 2006, ..womenstruggle to affirm rights and end all forms of exploitation and oppression[and the] brutality of imperialism to block any such efforts. From the successes of the Palestinian people...to the refusal of the peoples of Haiti, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela and other countries to accept U.S. dictatewomen have been in the forefront of these struggles. Sane no. Accurate no. But relevant incredibly so. Fat, overweight, look like a pear No problems you have the Fat Gene! By : Stew Mayers It is only a matter of time of course. Any deviancy, hardship, or under-performance will be blamed on inadequate DNA. Holding genes responsible for all failings gives the little minds of the world [those who believe in global warming, the gay gene, that Islam is peaceful etc.] taxpayer money for studies; ready excuses for being a group of losers; and a post-modern exit from high culture. It is in fact an important part of Marxist post-modern thought. Barbequing: America's Passion By : Barbara Quest No matter if it is the 4th of July, or just another summer day, chances are someone in your area is barbequing. Barbequing has become a standard American tradition for families. The reason as clear as to why, not only does the food that comes from barbequing have a taste that is unmatched by other cooking methods, but barbequing presents a reason for families to gather together. Some on my most memorial experiences happened outsides at one of my families many get-togethers. How's Your Cell Phone Manners By : Azlan Idris Cell phone usage is getting out of control. By this I mean the loud, rude attitude that almost everybody carrying a mobile phone is becoming guilty of. No event is safe from the omnipresent ringing and annoying yakking; not even meetings, eulogies, and presentations. You think Im kidding A lot of people can attest to this sad fact. Executives, salesmen, doctors, lawyers, and priests know what I'm talking about. Economic Prospects for Canada By : Stew Mayers Article by Craig Read Budgets in Canada no tax relief, more spend, more nonsense By : Stew Mayers March 2005 Oil, and Economy By : Stew Mayers The C$ will decline Government owns 43 % of the Economy and Counting By : Stew Mayers April 2005 US job growth vs. Canadian and EU job growth By : Stew Mayers There are good reasons why the US creates jobs and the Canada-EU socialist axis does not Lumber - an example of Canadian trade hypocrisy By : Stew Mayers You have to love a country that disengages itself from reality so often. The Canadians smug, moralistic, largely ignorant about history, economics and the world at large declare themselves superior, intelligent and advanced. The Multi-Cult club of anti-Western, anti-American and anti-Jewish policy reigns beloved. Whole industries lie under government control to the detriment of bank accounts and morality. Boards manage all commodities excluding oil. Lumber which is a politically sensitive and vital regional jobs program in many parts of the country is massively subsidized by more than $4 billion per annum. Yet to hear the Canadians chatter about lumber you would think that they are pristine virtuous virgins engaged in acts of morality while the hated Americans are planning the destruction of thousands of unionized Canadian jobs and the shuttering of Canadian villages dependent on the lumber trade. The fact that Canada will forever subsidize its lumber and never solve the systemic problems in the lumber trade highlights the poverty of big socialism. The coddling of Canada [wah wah] an interpretation. By : Stew Mayers Economic mismanagement. That is the basic tenor of the first article reviewing the Canadian mommy-state by the National Post. One fact is obvious in appraising the destructive array of Canadian subsidies; regulations; bureaucracies; taxation and spend policies. Without the US economy as a neighbor, Canada would be either have to reform itself or be even poorer. Trade: Softwood Lumber disputes and Soft Canadian heads By : Stew Mayers Canada illegally subsidizes its softwood lumber industry.In fact about $4 billion per annum in various taxpayer funded transfers are given to the unionized lumber industry.This is not a surprise. Canadian trade policy has always been managed trade.Outside of the key auto and auto parts sectors, very little in Canada is subject to free trade with the USA.Yet Canadian media and politicians want the public to believe that in softwood lumber an industry with 300.000 jobs and worth $70 billion per annum there is a free and fair trade with the USA.This is laughable. The C$ - Sorry but it wall fall By : Stew Mayers Being a Petro-Currency is not good news What's in a NAME - Les Raketti Copyright-name.com By : Les Raketti A teaser - or if you will - The Cat Scan Test ;-) Is Marriage Counselling Really Effective By : Anthony Bradley Married Couples should expect to have a rich and satisfying married life but sometimes problems do occur somewhere along the line and then the services of a qualified marriage counselor may be required to help them to make sense of their problems and get their marriage back on track again. How To Create Effective And Efficient Relationship By : dechenlau Relationships of all kinds are often professed as very delicate clothes that necessitate further try to maintain. However, a connection can also be something that can offer refuge and can also be long long-lasting regardless of many trials. Natural Law and Conservative thought By : Stew Mayers The definition of what is a conservative and what informs conservative thought covers an incredible range of philosophies. Paleo-cons, neo-cons, libertarians, social conservatives, compassionate conservatives, orthodox liberals, free-traders, constitutional conservatives, objectivists and many others populate the conservative ideological continuum. Most of these movements are only partially conservative and some are not conservative at all. So what would a real conservative actually look like Arab money in the US and a vibrant 5th column By : Stew Mayers Back in the 1930s various socialist and Marxist groups decided that orthodox-Western civilization could only be destroyed from within. Gramsci, the Frankfurt school, Derrida and the post-modernists along with others observed that a flanking movement which took over the media, the political elite and the university system, was the only feasible plan to achieve Marxist domination of the Western nation state. We can see the results of their insight today. A vibrant 5th column of socialistic thought and Marxian analysis dominates the above mentioned sectors of our political-economy. Now we see the same attack from Arabs and Islamic radicals. It is extremely advanced in Europe but its most vital victim is fast becoming the USA. Will Marriage Counseling Save Your Marriage By : Anthony Bradley Married Couples should expect to have a rich and satisfying married life but often problems do occur somewhere along the line and then the services of an experienced marriage counselor may be needed to help them to identify their problems and get their marriage back on track again. MOTIVATION, THE HEART OF SELF IMPROVEMENT By : dechenlau Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated gives us the push to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friends tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order to improve ourselves.
