For those of you in Pittsburgh (or from), you know what the term “Hoagie” means, to the point where you can not image that some one might not know what that means. But there are many outside of Pittsburgh area that does not know what a hoagie is. Well today was having fun doing the “environmentalists wacko pick of the week” for the football game, between the Stealers and the Vikings. And he was talking how the environmentalists would hate a Stealer, because they are big guys that eat hoagies. He is showing that he lived in Pittsburgh for some time. Also for any one that does not listen to his show, he always talk about how the Stealers are his favorite team. As for me I don’t like football, so I don’t care one way or the other.

Published on: December 15, 2005

The BBC has a story on how the “pioneer” in embryonic stem cell faked his results. While Adult Stem Cells are already being used to cure things, embryonic stem cells is taking a hit, and it looks like it has less to offer then they claimed to have in the past. At the same time Adult Stem Cells are showing to have more promise then originally believed.

Attack of the spam bots

I turned off the trackbacks to try to stop the spam here, but they have just moved to the comments. I woke up this morning to find that I had 110 spam comments. Looking at the logs from the web server I see that was 1/4 of the spam attempts the 404’s listed in the log were for the file trackback.php and it was just insane. So I do know deleting the trackback file did cut down on my spam big time, and there were 5 times that many 403’s from pervious IP addresses I blocked for spamming as there were the 404’s.
The server I have my website on sends out more 403’s then it does the real web page, that is just sad that spammers have made the internet a hostel place to put forms on.


All of these from the same IP addrss.

Rush now has the Video Podcast going

Published on: December 14, 2005

Well today, Rush has started the first installment of the Video Podcast that he is doing. Basicly what it is, is he is doing a video recording of himself recording the Morning Update. It is basicly a very short monologue, about one topic. Not half bad, I first signed up for Rushes 24/7 site, when I was in an office where I could not get KDKA (this was back when Rush was still on KDKA) But over time I started to listen to more and more Podcast, and having to listen to Rush at a appointed time was not going to work for me, but I love listening to him, and about that time he came out with his Podcast, it is not as great as listening to him live on his web site, but it fits my life better. Now he adds more value to the $7 I pay a month for access to his site. It will be a nice minute and a half to watch before I head out for work.

More hope for the use of Adult Stem Cells

Published on: December 14, 2005

The BBC has an artical up on how Adult Stem Cells are being proven here in the US to be more usefull then predicted. Also it should be noted that there are already real treatments that already use Adult Stem Cells, this is a proven technology, and it is being shown that it is more use full then it had been though. We should head into the resurch of Adult Stem Cells more then ever.
The BBC does show its bias at the end, but still this is great news.

I got my Christmas Tree up

Published on: December 14, 2005

I just put up my Christmas Tree.
I have posted some pictures here

This is the tree from the front

This is the tree from the side

This Ordainment is from 1976 the year I was born, this ordainment is only about a month younger then I am

This is another Ordainment from the year I was born, the last one and this one were given to my by my mother in 2002, I was able to pick a few Ordainment out from the collection that she had, it took some convincing for her to let me have this one, but the thing that worked the most was my mom had 2 of this one.

This is the back of the Tree, as you probably should have guessed by now the tree is in the middle of my APT. Yes there are a bunch of Star Trek Ordainment on it, yes I am a Geek.

This is the star on the top of my tree. Yes those are Icons on the back wall that you can see, the one at the top that is easy to see, is “Christ the Merciful”

This is a picture of the tree with all the lights on the tree on, and all the lights in the room off (I used a 2 second exposer on the camera)

The Dawn Patrol is reporting that Planned Parenthood Golden Gate is in a way boasting that they covered up a rape of a 11 year old girl by here then 17 years old boy friend.
In their quest to “protect a womans right” to murder their unborn child, they break the law, and alowe a rapest to stay out of jail, so that he can rape other people.


Here is the text from Planned Murderhood’s site:


It Keeps Us Safe

I was raped at 11, by my 17 year old boyfriend. I chose not to tell my parents because I didn’t think their involvement would help, that was the right choice for me. Planned Parethood helped me deal with the aftermath of the rape allowing me to deal and cope as best as I could in my own way. I was 14 when I decided to start having sex, the day I made that choice I made an appointment to get birth control pills. I’m 17 now, I’ve been with my current boyfriend for about two years. During that time i’ve been HIV and STD tested four times. Right now I’m sitting in the waiting room while my boyfriend gets the results for his HIV test. We love each other so we’re responsible and Planned Parenthood helps us to do that.

UPDATE: Planned Murderhood has removed the page about the child that was raped, that they faild to report to the police, as they were required to by law. I have change the link to instead of pointing to a 404 page, to the screen shot I took last night.

Christmas decoration

Comments: Comments Off on Christmas decoration
Published on: December 13, 2005

I will be putting up my Christmas decorations tomorrow. I know most people will wonder why the heck I am doing it on the 14th. No it not because I am lazy or forgot about it. The reason is that growing up my family always put up the Christmas Tree on the 14th and did the decorations then. I know the 14th does sound odd to most people, but here is the reason for the 14th and why my family did it on the 14th. My older brother (Christian) was born Dec 14. So that how we got to the 14th as a day to decorate the tree. Also I will have to call him tomorrow.

A strange place to find fun

Comments: 2 Comments
Published on: December 13, 2005

Ok this first some back history, the back history is nothing good, in fact I would say it is awful. Today when I was heading out of the office, I found a woman who was having trouble getting up a hill, Fillmore St, because all of the ice on the road, the road was pretty much a sheet of ice. I found out from her that she was original going down the hill, but her car had spun 180 degrees on her. That got to be scary for any one. Well here is where the fun did start. I tried to help her by pushing on the back of her car, as she tried to gas it so she could get going. Well I did not have the strength to do it, so I got the idea that I would get some of the salt that is at the back door of the building I work at, I was not even a minute walk away from the office. There I find a coworker who helps us out, we first drop allot of the salt under her tires and around where she, we hope, would be driving so she could get some traction. After we did that George and I get behind her car, we found a small spot that was not ice were we could plant our feet, and pushed as she hit the gas. It was fun and what a thrill when her tires got traction and she was able to get going. I know an odd place to find some fun and a thrill but still.
While we were talking, BSing more like it while we were putting down the ice, we find out she is also a fellow CMU employee, she works in SEI, and George and I are in CASOS (under ISRI)

Intelligent Design: We have some new allies in this debate, and they are not Christians

The Sun Sentinel in Florida is running a story on how a Orthodox Jewish group is joining in on the fight for Intelligent Design. I will admit I am not surprised by it, since the book of Geneses is the first book of the Bible (the Old Testament) and the Old Testament comes right out of the Torah. So both Christians and Jews share the book of Geneses (the first Book of Moses).

Some protest a death in CA, but the same would love to see a child murdered in MA

Categories: News, Politics

The Free Republic is reprinting a story from the AP. On how in MA a child is going to be put to death by the state. The child’s only crime is to be beaten by a bad father. Yet yesterday in CA liberals were all upset that a convicted killer was going to be put to death. (Let me also say here, I am not sure on the death penalty, and I am not sure Tookie should have been put to death. The loss of life, any life, is a loss to all)
The question is why do the liberals protest over the death of a guilty person (one convicted of murding 4 people), yet when it comes a innocent child (in this case a child that was beaten at the age of 11, but it easily could be a unborn child) they will call it, a “woman’s choice” or “death with dignity” but they will not call it what it is MURDER.

Well I tried to see if I could reinable trackbacks here, but the spammers have made it 100% clear that trackbacks on the internet now are a bad idea. So I have again disabled trackbacks on my blog, never to be reinabled again.
