How Texas town became polygamists’ refuge April 20th, 2008 - Posted by: Steve Shickles He wanted land — lots of it — for a corporate hunting retreat. Said he might build a lodge, to entice some big-roller clients of his in Vegas. North of town, the old Isaacs ranch — rocky and dotted as it was with rusty oil rigs, cactus and gnarled mesquite trees — caught his eye. It was plenty cheap, he said, and plenty remote.

Campaigning Means Something

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:01:10 PDT
Last week, I wrote about poll trends so obvious that it's a wonder they are still called "news:" The graphs of support numbers in contested primaries] all show a similar pattern. While the spreads between Obama and Clinton a few weeks or months out were relatively large - 20 to 30 points in some states - as the campaigns headed into election day, the spreads universally shrank. ... While this idea is fairly obvious, media coverage and general discussion around these primaries has tended to

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:02:43 PDT
A CHINESE restaurant in Sydney’s west accused of having rotten meat and food prepared in a rat- and cockroach-infested kitchen is still serving customers.

Horrors allegedly seen by inspectors included meat not in a coolroom, filthy walls and a “build-up of grease and oil, cockroach bodies, rodent and cockroach exc

Comment by dsd108hater on Is Racism Against White People Possible?

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:04:25 PDT
Want to get rid of racism? Easy, just kill the hypocrite dsd108 and 50% of the world's racism will disappear overnight. Seriously, have a look at his comments all over this page. This is one pathetic human being. He's an idiot too because to prove his point he quoted a news article about 2 Sikh men being attacked by white racists (Comment #127 — November 2, 2007 @ 16:44PM — dsd108). But because he has the attention span of a nat, he failed to read that it was 6-7 African-American men. But, dsd10

Great day today!

We had a week between Monster and Prison Break and I used that to break some news to our church. It actually was a great teaching moment on the practical side of what it really means to follow God. I explained the process I personally went through regarding my struggles after my illness and surgery and ultimately deciding it was in the best interest of my family and our church for me to go back to work. Yes, as of last month I am bi-vocational again and working for a government contractor in

ColdFusion to ASP.NET Migration

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:08:18 PDT
When considering a migration from ColdFusion to ASP.NET, you have several options to consider, I’ve touched on just a few here… Migration options: Re-write… which is really more like drag-and-drop and configure properties than it is re-writing code Build on top of Sharepoint – you might find that it makes more sense to leverage Sharepoint as your development platform (which is based on ASP.NET already) vs. building from scratch… especially since it includes a majority of the func

We need to think long-term

News today that the Reserve Bank is actively intervening to support liquidity in the mortgage-backed security market. THE total freeze in the securitised home loan market and the consequent dangers to ordinary Australian home loan borrowers have been recognised in an unusual Reserve Bank action to buy mortgagebacked securities. On Friday the Reserve Bank bought $320 million in mortgage-backed securities, providing much-needed liquidity to a bank or non-bank lender that had packaged a series o

Facials! I don't mean the dirty kind!

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:09:11 PDT
I think I've had a facial maybe 1 other time and it was one of those deals where you go "Oh, whatever" and abandon yourself and 60 bucks to the hands of fate. Salons and day spas are such a crapshoot. You know that some strangers are going to touch you for a while and some shit's going to happen to you - but what? It is very like going to a whorehouse but for middle aged suburban ladies (as I'm sure many of you have noticed.) So what happened to me in this huge fancy (yet cheap) new salon pla

According to an article in the Daily Press -- http://www.dailypress.com/news... -- Kenny Alexander, Delegate from Norfolk, is apparently leaning against running for Lieutenant Governor. Jon Bowerbank, a businessman from Southwest Virginia, is being talked about instead. So that would leave us with 3 white male Democrats to run against 3 white male Republicans? Eeeesh.
