"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning." - Mark Twain 

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. 
The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.
 Niels Bohr (1885-1962), physicist

"Beware the man of one book."  
 Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), Theologian,  philosopher  

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: 
WOW - What a Ride!"

"Consciously or unconsciously we all strive to make the kind of a world we like." 
 Oliver Wendell Holmes 

"We Lakota have a close relationship to the buffalo. He is our brother. You can't understand about nature, about the feeling we have toward it, unless you understand how close we were to the buffalo. That animal was almost like a part of ourselves, part of our souls." Lame Deer, Lakota

Professional Wrestler Scott Bam Bam Bigelow Dies at 45 Former professional wrestler Scott Bam Bam Bigelow has passed away from an unknown cause at age 45. 
Bigelow, a native of Asbury Park, New Jersey, retired from professional wrestling officially in 2004. Bigelow was nicknamed "The Beast From The East" 
Bigelow was trained as a wrestler at Larry Sharpe's "Monster Factory" in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. He debuted in Memphis in 1985, and was named Crusher Yurkov by Fritz Von Erich so he could play the character of a Russian heel. Upon leaving Memphis, Bigelow adopted the name Bam Bam Bigelow. Throughout his career it has been said that the most striking aspect of Bigelow was that for a man of his girth he possessed both the speed & agility of someone half his size, almost disguising his power as a fighter.

By Bruce Owen FORMER Winnipeg police officer Ken Houston and full-patch Hells Angels member Billy Bowden were arrested early Saturday for allegedly possessing a loaded semi-automatic handgun and a small amount of ecstasy, police said Monday. 
Bowden, 31, remains in custody while Houston, 38, was released on a promise to appear in court in March. His conditions include having no contact with members of the Hells Angels and their "puppet" club, the Zig Zag Crew, according to court documents. 

Police spokesman Sgt. Kelly Dennison said the two men were arrested at about 3 a.m. in a back lane in the 500 block of Corydon Avenue when officers with the organized crime unit stopped Houston's Dodge Durango. 

Inside officers found a loaded nine-millimetre semi-automatic Glock handgun and less than a gram of ecstasy, according to court documents. Police did not say where in the Durango the gun and ecstasy were found. 

Dennison said the arrests are another example of ongoing police investigations involving those connected to organized crime groups like the Hells Angels. 

"No matter what their past has been, they're at the point now where they are believed to be either members or associated to members," Dennison said. 
I never understood taxes until they used this Baseball analogy:

If you don't understand the Democrats' version of tax refunds, maybe this will help explain it:

50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out.

A refund was then due.

The team was about to mail refunds when a group of Congressional Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out the ticket refunds based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness.

Originally the&n bsp;refunds were to be paid based on the price each person had paid for the tickets.
Unfortunately that meant most of the refund money would be going to the ticket holders that had purchased the most expensive tickets. This, according to the DNC, is considered totally unfair. A decision was then made to pay out the refunds in this manner:

People in the $10 seats will get back $15. After all, they have less money to spend on tickets to begin with. Call it an "Earned Income Ticket Credit."
Persons "earn" it by having few skills , poor work habits, and low ambition, thus keeping them at entry-level wages.

People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because it "seems fair."
People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don't need a refund.
After all, if they can afford a $50 ticket, they must not be paying enough taxes.

People in the $75 luxury box seats will each have to pay an additional $25 because it's the "right thing to do."

People walking past the stadium that couldn't afford to buy a&n bsp;ticket for the game each will get a $10 refund, even though they didn't pay anything for the tickets. They need the most help. Sometimes this is known as Affirmative Action.

Now do you understand?

If not, contact Representative Nancy Pelosi, Senator Ted Kennedy or Senator Hillary Clinton for assistance!!!!
Thanks Becky
LEXINGTON, Ky., -- U.S. medical scientists say they have mapped, for the first time, the gene that regulates adult stem cell growth. University of Kentucky Professor Gary Van Zant, postdoctoral fellow Ying Liang and colleagues genetically mapped a stem cell gene and its protein pro- duct, Laxetin, and then identified the gene itself. That marks the first time such a complete study on a stem cell gene has been carried out, Van Zant said. The gene is important because it helps regulate the number of adult stem cells in the body, particularly in bone marrow. Now that it has been identified, researchers hope the gene and its protein product Latexin can be used clinically to increase the stem cell count in cancer patients under going chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation.

To clean a glass chandelier, you will need goggles, a lamb's-wool duster, a spray bottle of 50/50 solution of water and vinegar and an umbrella. Dust first. Then hang the umbrella under the chandelier, hooking the handle over an arm of the light fixture. Spray the crystals with the vinegar solution until they drip. The umbrella will catch all the dirty water. 

Baptist Cowgirl
A cowgirl, who is visiting Tennessee from Texas , walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. She sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When she finishes them, she comes back to the bar and orders three more.

The bartender approaches and tells the cowgirl, "You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time."

The cowgirl replies, "Well, you see, I have two sisters. One is in Australia, the other is in Dublin . When we all left our home in Texas , we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my sisters and one for myself.

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom and leaves it there.
The cowgirl becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same way.
She orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.

One day, she comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When she comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."

The cowgirl looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in her eyes and she laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine. It's just that my husband and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. Hasn't affected my sisters though.
