Global Warming or Not??

Inhofe alleges EPA buried evidence, calls for criminal investigation
@ 12:54 pm by Michael O'Brien

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) deliberately withheld facts from a report on global warming in order to bolster the Obama administration's climate change initiatives, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) alleged Monday.

Inhofe said the EPA "absolutely" buried evidence undermining policy on global warming after a researcher's report claimed that carbon dioxide has had little effect on the environment.

"They've been cooking that science since 1998," Inhofe said during an interview on Fox News.

Inhofe argued that there should be a criminal investigation into the EPA report, as well.

"I don't know whether there would be or not," he said. "There could be, and there probably should be."

Inhofe is a longtime critic of the science on global warming; he called it "probably the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people" during the interview Monday.

The Oklahoma Republican also said that the climate change legislation passed by a narrow vote in the House on Friday would be "dead on arrival" in the Senate.

secret Iran election letter from IRAN's Minister to Supreme leader




This is a letter which we are not sure about the source and currently spreading in facebook. If it is true, it prooves all the "frauds" about IRAN's election. In this letter, Sadegh Mahsouli wrote to Supreme letter and give him the real statics of IRAN's election. He confirmed that they changed the results according to pre-engineeered request by ayatollah kKhamenei. However, there is not a accurate source for this letter yet.

Time for Iran Election Supporters to get out and mobilize

side note by me!! if your on twitter and want to follow Iran real time without the media filtering for you then go to www.search.twitter.com and enter the following

#iranelection

below is a basic guide for those that dare enter the movement to help Iranian Citizens!!



#iranelection Cyberwar Guide For Beginners

This was originally posted at http://reinikainen.co.uk/2009/06/iranelection-cyberwar-guide-for-beginners/ and then the account was suspended within a couple hours. I’ve reposted it in its entirety here.

The purpose of this guide is to help you participate constructively in the Iranian election protests through twitter.

1. Do NOT publicise proxy IP’s over twitter, and especially not using the #iranelection hashtag. Security forces are monitoring this hashtag, and the moment they identify a proxy IP they will block it in Iran. If you are creating new proxies for the Iranian bloggers, DM them to @stopAhmadi or @iran09 and they will distributed them discretely to bloggers in Iran.

2. Hashtags, the only two legitimate hashtags being used by bloggers in Iran are #iranelection and #gr88, other hashtag ideas run the risk of diluting the conversation.

3. Keep you bull$hit filter up! Security forces are now setting up twitter accounts to spread disinformation by posing as Iranian protesters. Please don’t retweetimpetuosly, try to confirm information with reliable sources before retweeting. The legitimate sources are not hard to find and follow.

4. Help cover the bloggers: change your twitter settings so that your location is TEHRAN and your time zone is GMT +3.30. Security forces are hunting for bloggers using location and timezone searches. If we all become ‘Iranians’ it becomes much harder to find them.

5. Don’t blow their cover! If you discover a genuine source, please don’t publicise their name or location on a website. These bloggers are in REAL danger. Spread the word discretely through your own networks but don’t signpost them to the security forces. People are dying there, for real, please keep that in mind.

6. Denial of Service attacks. If you don’t know what you are doing, stay out of this game. Only target those sites the legitimate Iranian bloggers are designating. Be aware that these attacks can have detrimental effects to the network the protesters are relying on. Keep monitoring their traffic to note when you should turn the taps on or off.

7. Do spread the (legitimate) word, it works! When the bloggers asked for twitter maintenance to be postponed using the #nomaintenance tag, it had the desired effect. As long as we spread good information, provide moral support to the protesters, and take our lead from the legitimate bloggers, we can make a constructive contribution.

Please remember that this is about the future of the Iranian people, while it might be exciting to get caught up in the flow of participating in a new meme, do not lose sight of what this is really about.

A story for Father's Day

This was Printed in my Previous Ward (Church congregation) Pleasant Hill 2nd Ward)) newsletter.. So to All Fathers here is to you!!

The Magic Penny


After putting their three-year-old child Brian in bed, his
parents heard muffled sobs coming from his room one night.
Rushing back in, they found that the child was crying
hysterically when he saw them. He told his parents that he
had accidentally swallowed a penny and was sure that he
would die now. The father, in an attempt to sober him down,
took out a penny from his pocket and pretended to pull it out
from Brian's ear. The child was really thrilled and stopped
crying at once. In a flash, he snatched the penny from his
dad's hand, swallowed it, and then cheerfully demanded,
"Do it again, Dad!"

Sand Camel Illusion




First, look at the CAMELS in the picture below and then read the caption that follows...





This is a picture, taken directly above these camels in the desert at sunset. It is considered one of the best pictures of the year.
Look closely...the camels are actually the little white lines in the sand. The black formations are only their shadows. Amazing!

On the Eve of my 1st Photo Art Gallery display





I am a bit nervous and very excited that this chance has landed in my lap!

I finally have all the frames together and have given each piece of work a title **even though I was considering leaving them untitled!!**

I have less then 48 hours till have to have them submitted to the gallery and I have yet to figure a price that I feel people would accept if they wanted my work!!

so here is a private preview of most of the work that I have ready!!

the lighting was not great on my couch!!

I will try to photo them once in the gallery with better lighting so it does justice to the viewing!!

so if ya want a better view you just might have to make a special trip to see my work!!

you have 3 months to make the trip!! lol

it would be nice though if some could!!
