Just a little bit early. G'morning, all Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at February 16, 2015 06:04 AM (e/FtQ) 2 I hope ISIS doesn't do anything that makes things awkward for Obama. Posted by: eman at February 16, 2015 06:06 AM (MQEz6) 3 I hope he has the worst round of golf ever. Posted by: Cato at February 16, 2015 06:10 AM (J+mig) 4 "I hope ISIS doesn't do anything that makes things awkward for Obama." At this point, the only thing they could do that would embarrass Barky, would be to find that his Mother was a registered Republican. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at February 16, 2015 06:10 AM (e/FtQ) 5 FFS, -20 this morning in WNY. And the heat's out in my office! The over/under on maintanence fixing that situation is 3PM. Good thing I'm working a 12. Posted by: KGB at February 16, 2015 06:10 AM (HuVX+) 6 Seriously, I'm talking like 12-putts on a Par 3. Posted by: Cato at February 16, 2015 06:14 AM (J+mig) 7 Good Morning Morons. Today is Monday, February 16, 2015, President's Day. On this day in 1968 the first 911 system in the US went into service in Haleyville, AL. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:17 AM (wlDny) 8 Egyptian warplanes strike the ISIS terrorists who beheaded the Coptic Christians. The WH fails to note that these were Coptic Christians. They call them Egyptian citizens. What is it with Obama and his gang of asshole thugs? http://fxn.ws/1zYodJY Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:17 AM (wlDny) 9 New records being set for cold in NE but we haz global warming. http://fxn.ws/1zWMeRy Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:18 AM (wlDny) 10 The Brown University student newspaper called the ROTC criminals and demanded that Brown ban them from the campus. I would call that hate speech and demand that the person who wrote that column and the editor who approved it be banned from the campus. http://fxn.ws/1vx3dVp Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:18 AM (wlDny) 11 The muzzie terrorist who the police killed in Copenhagen had a background in gang violence and criminal activity. So why wasn't he in jail or deported? http://fxn.ws/1yJK2be Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:18 AM (wlDny) 12 Migrant Latino farm workers protest shooting of serial rock thrower in WA. And like Ferguson they pump out a shit ton of lies. "It was just a rock" they scream. Well, it was just a piece of lead that killed him. If you don't like it get your ass back to Mexico. http://bit.ly/1Ad5md1 Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:18 AM (wlDny) 13 A sign of the times. A stupid carjacker in Concord, CA was foiled when he could not operate the stick shift for the manual transmission in the car. http://fxn.ws/1zhDJgb Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:19 AM (wlDny) 14 Good morning all. Here are the Animaniacs with "The Presidents". There will be a quiz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_AL1Xn6UYM Posted by: All Hail Eris at February 16, 2015 06:19 AM (KH1sk) 15 Crazy truck driver throws refrigerator at police chasing him. And it wasn't even in FL! http://fxn.ws/1DWh9za Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:19 AM (wlDny) 16 McDonald's employee goes on an obscenity laced tirade trashing the restaurant. So what does McDonald's do? They fire the manager. No word on the employee. Also no charges filed despite thousands of dollars worth of damage. http://fxn.ws/1vxSfPt Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:19 AM (wlDny) 17 WaPo: Jon Stuart has made a history of lying about the news on his show and is celebrated for it while Brian Williams is trashed. http://bit.ly/1AEDSP8 Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:19 AM (wlDny) 18 RIP: Louis Jourdan, the dashingly handsome Frenchman who starred in Gigi, Can-Can, Three Coins in the Fountain, and other American movies, has died. He was 93. http://fxn.ws/1AHzq2j Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:19 AM (wlDny) 19 HHS pushing non-profits groups such as churches to advertise Obamacare. If they do this should they not lose their "tax free" status for pushing political issues? http://tws.io/1EdKlj6 Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:20 AM (wlDny) 20 A mob of 900 rowdy teens of indeterminate race storm a FL movie theater to try to get in for free. I guess rushing quick stops is out now and movie theaters is in. Out of 900 two were arrested. http://bit.ly/1Dv6JpA Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:20 AM (wlDny) 21 "Scientists" call for a worldwide group to regulate "geo-engineering" which evidently is being used to combat the phony global warming scam. They say that this type of action is inherently dangerous. OK, I have a better idea, make "geo-engineering" illegal and forget another stupid set of beurocrats. We need to quit calling for more regulation to fix problems created by previous regulation. http://yhoo.it/1AHAJye Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:20 AM (wlDny) 22 Obama promises more law breaking and illegal actions in his last two years. Congress yawns. http://bit.ly/17acQmW Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:20 AM (wlDny) 23 Denver cops ordered to stand down and watch as criminals with "black lives matter" defaced a memorial to fallen police officers. This type of shit only encourages criminal activity. It should aggressively pursued even if you do not give a damn for the cops. I'll guarandamntee you that if the thugs doing this had been white Anglo-Saxon Christians they would be under the jail now. http://bit.ly/1BgHyIh Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:21 AM (wlDny) 24 The WaEX asks if Republicans in the Senate should invoke the "Reid Rule" to kill the filibuster. Damn right they should. They must show that payback can be a MF. But since we have shitty leadership and a chickenshit Party they will not. http://washex.am/1JkUCRe Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:21 AM (wlDny) 25 Heritage: Obama routinely violates bipartisan deals made in Congress. So when is the stupid Party going to recognize this? http://dailysign.al/1L3t1S7 Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:21 AM (wlDny) 26 Revisionism strikes again. The Washington monument is now shorter thanks to the government changing how they measure the height. This on Washington's holiday for his birthday. Liberals will do anything to marginalize the founders and play frauds like Maya Angelou. (and that is not even her real name.) http://fxn.ws/1EfAMjQ Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:21 AM (wlDny) 27 Update on the Copenhagen story: Danish police said Monday that they had arrested two men suspected of helping the gunman who carried out attacks on a free speech event and a synagogue over the weekend. http://fxn.ws/1zH70zQ Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:22 AM (wlDny) 28 The Daily Deals http://amzn.to/1Czntbr That's it for today folks. And I went shopping this morning like I wanted to do yesterday. I went at 4 am. The bread shelves were stripped but I was lucky. The bread man was there to restock. He said he had restocked twice yesterday. And got a few odds and ends, mostly staples. The only meat I got was 2 lbs of ground beef. What I got barely covered the bottom of the cart. My bill was $102. But there is no inflation. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:22 AM (wlDny) 29 And on the "weather" here for today, all three internet weather sites that I monitor have removed all predictions for snow and sleet. However the radio weather is still calling for snow and sleet this afternoon. I guess we will see. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:27 AM (wlDny) 30 14 here now. Calling for 2 - 4" of global warming later today. Not complaining. I'd be happy to take a foot from you good folks up in Boston area if I could. I'm stocked up on everything but booze. Hmm... Posted by: shredded chi at February 16, 2015 06:29 AM (IUZoP) 31 23�Denver cops ordered to stand down and watch as criminals with "black lives matter" defaced a memorial to fallen police officers... ------------------------- I saw this. Isn't the Police Chief being asked to step down? Maybe only by the police union, though, not the Mayor? Posted by: shredded chi at February 16, 2015 06:32 AM (IUZoP) 32 31 I saw this. Isn't the Police Chief being asked to step down? Maybe only by the police union, though, not the Mayor? Posted by: shredded chi at February 16, 2015 06:32 AM (IUZoP) The police union is telling the chief to step down because he is the one who ordered them to stand there and watch the thugs. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:33 AM (wlDny) 33 Seriously, I'm talking like 12-putts on a Par 3. Posted by: Cato Or as the JEF would say, "Mark it a 2" Posted by: Bruce at February 16, 2015 06:34 AM (8ikIW) 34 DAY 832 631 to go (704 to Inauguration Day 2017) Muzzies, Marxists, Maoists, Mau-Maus, MFM's, Moochelle, McCain's, McConnell's, machiavellian Mississippi mudslingers, McAuliffe's, Maduro's, MIRV's, Mexifornians, menacing Mozillan 'mo's, Mugwumps, mutants, malcontents, malthusians, maniacs, malignant medical mandates, martial law, miscreants, microagressors, minions, maladjusted masochistic multiculturalists, momzers, mamalukes, mooks, mopes, mariuoli, meeskeits, maricons, marauders, malodorous militants, menstruating mons veneri, malfunctioning Moron microsites and miscellaneous meshugas notwithstanding. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at February 16, 2015 06:34 AM (CMkNk) 35 We had our morning low last night around midnight at 24F. It is 26.9F now. The high today is only supposed to be 41F. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:35 AM (wlDny) 36 Lincoln-Shminkin. On this Presidents' Day, let us celebrate the greatness of John Tyler, Benjamin Harrison, Chester Arthur and Jimmy Carter. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at February 16, 2015 06:35 AM (CMkNk) 37 I'd be happy to take a foot from you good folks up in Boston area if I could. Posted by: shredded chi at February 16, 2015 06:29 AM (IUZoP) If I have to see one more mewling Bahstonian whine about how bad they've got it, I'm going to fucking slap somebody. Over here in the Buffalo area, we've had it much worse in terms of snow and cold. What happened to Boston Strong, you pussies? Posted by: KGB at February 16, 2015 06:36 AM (HuVX+) 38 Good early morning. Posted by: Turd Ferguson's Oversized Hat-it's funny at February 16, 2015 06:38 AM (MYPM9) 39 The Coptic Christians murdered by ISIS yesterday were murdered on the shores of Tripoli. el-Sisi bombed them in Derna. Derna is the site of America's first victory on foreign soil. As much as ISIS was sending a message to Egypt, I wonder if they were also sending America one, too. Very significant location. Posted by: Aslan's Girl at February 16, 2015 06:38 AM (rldyO) 40 Looks like 5 degrees right now in the Peoples Republik of Baltimore. Snow tonight. But only a few inches. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at February 16, 2015 06:40 AM (e/FtQ) 41 el-Sisi talked about an airlift to rescue the remaining Egyptians from Libya. Hope it is soon and successful. Loved that he bombed ISIS just hours after they murdered those dear Copts. I pray for his safety and his salvation. What a hero he is. He didn't wait for a UN resolution, he just did it. God bless him and the Egyptians who elected him. Posted by: Aslan's Girl at February 16, 2015 06:40 AM (rldyO) 42 5 days later and still I say "fuck you, Shirley McLaine." Posted by: J.J. Sefton at February 16, 2015 06:47 AM (CMkNk) 43 5-8 inches forcast here in the Peoples Republic of Fairfax County (VA). Its about 7 outside right now. I spent the weekend at Castle Puddleglum watching golf at warm locations (Thailand, Naples Fla, Pebble Beach CA). They all looked nice and warm. In Pebble Beach's case, its probably the most beautiful golf course in the world. Posted by: puddleglum not at work at February 16, 2015 06:47 AM (9ONq1) 44 I'll be off for a writing retreat of sorts in Sarasota this Wednesday. Supposed to snow in NYC that day. Ugh. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at February 16, 2015 06:48 AM (CMkNk) 45 Long term forcast is saying -7 next weekend. Yikes! Haven't had to deal with below 0 in a long time. This Global Warming shit is annoying me. Posted by: puddleglum not at work at February 16, 2015 06:49 AM (9ONq1) 46 102 dollars vic? clearly we need price controls! Posted by: Bigby's Knuckle Sandwich at February 16, 2015 06:50 AM (Cq0oW) 47 Was watching one of the Meet the Depressed type shows yesterday, where they were talking about comedy, and talk radio. General consensus is that liberals do satire well, and conservatives do political discussion on radio well. And the reason that conservatives don't do satire well is that elites are able to grasp the subtleties of satire, whereas knuckle dragging conservatives are just not mentally able to grasp the nuance of good satire. Stupid fcuks have never come here and read the comments, obviously. Some of the best cutting satire, and general comedy on the planet. All while effectively pointing out that most modern day liberals and progressives could not recognize bias, double standard or shoddy logic if they were hit in the face with it. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at February 16, 2015 06:52 AM (e/FtQ) 48 We got your global warming right here in my 'hood: 75 sunny degrees today, Monday, February 16. Oh wait . . . it's Tucson . . . that's normal weather for this time of year. Never mind. Posted by: TrivialPursuer at February 16, 2015 06:52 AM (Fnyc2) 49 46 102 dollars vic? clearly we need price controls! Posted by: Bigby's Knuckle Sandwich at February 16, 2015 06:50 AM (Cq0oW) Clearly what we need is a pPresident who does not illegally invent from air and spend $50 to $80 billion dollars a month causing massive inflation and then lie about it. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 06:55 AM (wlDny) 50 Puddlegum, Did y'all have crazy wind this weekend? It kept me inside the whole time. Temps hovered around 20, but with constant wind & 40 mph gusts down here in Tidewater. My place is unscathed, but have a neighbor who lost a bunch of shingles, tree branches down, another that lost a 16 x 24 "shed" (a metal pole structure with a fitted roof & walls made of HD tarps). That thing is spread over a couple acres... Posted by: shredded chi at February 16, 2015 06:56 AM (IUZoP) 51 Good morning. 33 and rainy here in DFW. Just glad it wasn't colder, as this could have been one heck of a storm. It rained so much my driveway was flooded. Posted by: DangerGirl at February 16, 2015 06:59 AM (QoQdM) 52 Morning, Glories! I'm in. Let's do this. Thanks for the morning jolt, Vic. Next best thing to coffee. Posted by: mindful webworker - reporting for duty at February 16, 2015 06:59 AM (0PD0H) 53 Snow storm, that is. I need caffeine. Posted by: DangerGirl at February 16, 2015 07:00 AM (QoQdM) 54 Let's all send Barky selfies! Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars(TM) at February 16, 2015 07:01 AM (bWFHa) 55 All hail Eris, the animaniacs was a great cartoon! The ballad of Magellan is my favorite: http://youtu.be/Fg6pXhZxbOI Posted by: Lea - Sorry make that Miss Leaette at February 16, 2015 07:03 AM (vmMMi) 56 54 Let's all send Barky selfies! Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars(TM) at February 16, 2015 07:01 AM (bWFHa) I send him something, alright. Every night in my prayers. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at February 16, 2015 07:03 AM (CMkNk) 57 Posted by: J.J. Sefton at February 16, 2015 06:35 AM (CMkNk) What, no love for Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan? Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars(TM) at February 16, 2015 07:08 AM (bWFHa) 58 14 Good morning all. Here are the Animaniacs with "The Presidents". There will be a quiz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_AL1Xn6UYM ---------------- SNL turned 40? Big deal, celebrate the 25th anniversary of Animaniacs instead. Posted by: exdem13 at February 16, 2015 07:08 AM (/mTq0) 59 So Horde, supposing one of ours wins the presidency, how would that change the tenor of this fine blog? The acid bile spewed here is like a balm to my soul and this would be a major shift. We'd be on the offensive.

At this point, the only thing they could do that would embarrass Barky, would be to find that his Mother was a registered Republican. ----------------- I agree, Obummer really can't give a damn anymore. Because Crusades. Posted by: exdem13 at February 16, 2015 07:10 AM (/mTq0) 61 General consensus is that liberals do satire well, and conservatives do political discussion on radio well. Bullshit. If liberals do satire well, why are there vast swathes of their favored ideas and people off limits to satire? Liberals do censorship well, period. Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars(TM) at February 16, 2015 07:11 AM (bWFHa) 62 59 So Horde, supposing one of ours wins the presidency, how would that change the tenor of this fine blog? The acid bile spewed here is like a balm to my soul and this would be a major shift. We'd be on the offensive. Posted by: All Hail Eris at February 16, 2015 07:10 AM (KH1sk) There was a lot of bile spilled here on Bush 2. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 07:11 AM (wlDny) 63 Ok, time to get working. It's so nice and quiet here without the crazy coworker. I once again don't loathe coming in. Posted by: DangerGirl at February 16, 2015 07:11 AM (QoQdM) 64 50: Yep. There were gusts of around 50 and it was constantly blowing around 20+. I stayed indoors. Glad my power stayed on but others weren't so lucky. Posted by: puddleglum not at work at February 16, 2015 07:12 AM (9ONq1) 65 Hey! Apparently it sleeted all night! I have no bread and I have no milk, but what I do have is a very particular brand of coffee and cream to put in it. Happy George Washington's Birthday (celebrated not actual)!

Sefton at February 16, 2015 06:35 AM (CMkNk) What, no love for Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan? --------------- Fillmore and Pierce were do-nothing idiots who sat by and watched the nation build up to the Civil War. Buchanan decided that the next president after him should deal with the problem, thereby establishing a precedent for a Republican to fix a Democrat's mistakes, and not get any credit for it in the press. Posted by: exdem13 at February 16, 2015 07:12 AM (/mTq0) 68 Harry Reid should do a remake of "Gigi" and he can sing, "thank heavens, for little boys." Posted by: J.J.

Glad my power stayed on but others weren't so lucky. ----------- I am with you there, Ohio was a giant wind tunnel over the weekend. Folks were without power for 6 hours on Saturday while it was bitter cold. Fortunately they did not have electric heating.

Posted by: exdem13 at February 16, 2015 07:14 AM (/mTq0) 72 I meant to mention James Buchanan but wrote Benjamin Harrison. Yeah, he precipitated the Civil War. And he was the first LGBLT on rye in the Ovary Office. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at February 16, 2015 07:15 AM (CMkNk) 73 My power is pretty good at staying on. Even when it does go out, its not out for long. Probably has to do with my living near a Metro station.

Posted by: shredded chi at February 16, 2015 07:18 AM (HNj0s) 76 Oddly, I didn't lose power, and i was sure i would (during Isabel, I was out for eleven days. On day two or three, I could see power everywhere around me). But my sister, in a pretty new, fancy, expensive subdivision out in Va Beach lost power. And all the lines are underground. ? Posted by: shredded chi at February 16, 2015 07:22 AM (HNj0s) 77 Just looking out the window now that it is daylight if I wasn't in SC I would say it was ready to snow any minute here now. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 07:22 AM (wlDny) 78 Good morning all. 28B 29 Vic Wifey and I stopped at grocery yesterday after church. Spent $30 - got about 4 bags and no meat. I mentioned the same as we walked out. Looks like the worst will miss us north Vic. Hoping for a whiff on the ice. Posted by: Golfman in NC at February 16, 2015 07:22 AM (GqEzX) 79 76 But my sister, in a pretty new, fancy, expensive subdivision out in Va Beach lost power. And all the lines are underground. ? Posted by: shredded chi at February 16, 2015 07:22 AM (HNj0s) Probably like my neighborhood. I have underground lines but those lines are supplied by feeder lines that are above ground. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 07:24 AM (wlDny) 80 Good morning haters. calling for 6-10 inches tonight here in lovely Charlottesville VA - guess I'll get to use that brand spanking new $600 snow blower after all. Posted by: Talibill at February 16, 2015 07:25 AM (JiHh6) 81 Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 07:22 AM (wlDny) As you noted yesterday, there is a lot of dry air out there. It will take quite a bit of moisture just to saturate what is in place. I do know if we get anything, it ain't going anywhere for a while. Posted by: Golfman in NC at February 16, 2015 07:25 AM (GqEzX) 82 Posted by: Talibill at February 16, 2015 07:25 AM (JiHh6) Yeah. Burn that new smell right off of it. Crankcase full of oil? Posted by: Golfman in NC at February 16, 2015 07:27 AM (GqEzX) 83 I don't think I've ever actually seen a snow blower. I'm okay with that. Posted by: Mr. Dave at February 16, 2015 07:27 AM (09ZgF) 84 78 Posted by: Golfman in NC at February 16, 2015 07:22 AM (GqEzX) Just remember, there is no inflation. Posted by: Vic at February 16, 2015 07:28 AM (wlDny) 85 There not predicting a whole lot of snow here (5-8 inches) but this is DC. Stupid doesn't quite cover what happens here when it snows. I grew up near Pittsburgh, 5-8 inches isn't shit. I'll probably drive into work tonight because they will shut down the subway if the snow get higher than 6 inches (the third rail would go boom). With WMATA's track record, well who knows what would happen. Could be nothing or the Space/Time Continuum would rupture. So tonight, I drive in. Posted by: puddleglum not at work at February 16, 2015 07:29 AM (9ONq1) 86 I don't think I've ever actually seen a snow blower ====== inuitescorts dot com?

Looked nice at the time - until it was covered in 15-20 inches or more of snow every year since we moved in. Then it kinda sucked. Posted by: Talibill at February 16, 2015 07:30 AM (JiHh6) 88 There is a layer of white stuff over everything outside. Barely, but there it is. And it's 19° feels like 10, says here. So, when we get up to freezing later today, it'll seem balmy. I might feel more miserable about the cold and snow, but when I read about all you folks back east and north, I realize how great I've got it.

The wind has finally mellowed and the sun is shining although it's still in the mid teens. Birds of all kinds are attacking the feeders and the ocean is angry but beautiful. I don't get why people in the north bitch about the snow and cold. It's winter, it happens every year. If you don't like the snow and cold, move south.

Posted by: Lea - Sorry make that Miss Leaette at February 16, 2015 07:41 AM (vmMMi) 96 Snow blowers and ethanol laced gas. Not good. Not trying to preach to the Choir, but has everyone put gas stabilizer in their snowblower fuel yet? Last year, our neighbor was loaning me their blower, and it would not start. Dropped the carb bowl, and pure crud glopped out. The repairman said that they don't even overhaul the new carbs anymore. Pot metal junk that they just swap out completely. And he blamed it squarely on the new fuel mix attracting moisture, and breaking down. We run the same stuff in Mrs VIA's little Vespa two stroke scooter. Stabilize the fuel as soon as you buy it..

Little gray gal and little black gal went outside - female cats: hardy, crazy, or both? Dog went out, sniffed, came back in immediately. Charlie the yellow fuzzy cat stood at the door and sniffed, put one paw tentatively across the threshold, but when I nudged his butt to go out, he meowed and turned back inside. Smart.

By not acknowledging the victim's Christianity, the numb nuts in the WH hope to escape this. Please pray for the Coptic Christians.

I haven't heard of that issue before. Premium still typically has ethanol as well. And the ethanol is what causes the issues. ethanol loves water, in any form. Will draw it out of the humidity in the air itself if you let it. Smarter Morons then I can get into all the sciencey stuff behind it. Is there a chance that where you buy your gas, ethanol is not part of the fuel mix? I know there is a station up in York PA, that specifically carries non-ethanol gas in all grades. But here in Baltimore, even using the "Real Gas Finder" websites....nadda, zip..nothing. All ethanol, all the time.

Their baby didn't make it, and passed on on February 12th, less than a week ago. On the long car trip home, they were in an accident, near Point Pleasant, WV. Their dog became spooked and ran away from the accident scene. They spent the last couple of days searching, but had to return to Florida to get medical attention from the accident. So, yeah....rough doesn't even begin to cover it. If you can share if you know anyone in the area and spare some prayers. I know a lot of people say, "it's just a dog," but for this family, to lose a human child and then lose one of your pieces of normalcy and comfort too....man, it stinks. http://tinyurl.com/muleg78 Posted by: TickledPink at February 16, 2015 08:31 AM (TMe1n) 177 172 So MSM isn't reporting on this huh?

I must say that I am not a fan of modern praise choruses because they are redundant and lacking in strong theology of the older hymns. However, there are some lovely exception to the lack in modern Christian music, Twila Paris sings a beautiful song called "Lamb of God" (Maybe it's a older piece?) which is very moving. My favorite line, "I was so lost I should have died, but you have brought me to your side." Here she is singing that song set to clips from "The Passion.": http://tinyurl.com/lubrk63 Posted by: FenelonSpoke at February 16, 2015 08:36 AM (DXzRD) 184 Posted by: TickledPink at February 16, 2015 08:31 AM (TMe1n What's their last name, Luckee?

"Somewhere the sun is shining / down my love /..." (something like that?) Don't have the music library t'hand, so... So, I searched (what's the term for DuckDuckGo searched? I DuckDuckWent doesn't sound right) So, I searched on lyrics "somewhere the sun is shining unquote. Holy moly, there are a lot of songs with the line "somewhere the sun is shining"! It's still overcast here; I can understand why it's a recurring theme. Posted by: mindful webworker - musicologist at February 16, 2015 08:41 AM (0PD0H) 189 Missing Dog.

Where do you live (generally)? We've dodged some bullets this year, which was warmer and wetter than last year.

On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword....wait there's even more Now what if i told you there was a simple Wordpress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That's right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at.
