Nov 18th Todays History!!

2010-11-18T10:47:00.000-08:00

The past is full of sorrow and Bloodshed. it is up to us to obey Gods Word and pave a new future

Jim Jones was the founder and leader of the cult group the Peoples Temple. He was born on May 13 1931 and died on Nov 18 1978 from Suicide Jones from his early life was interested with Communism as a boy he was known to study the works of Communist leaders. As a man in 1951 he began to move into politics with a surprising energy and commitment, joining the Communist party and actively attending meeting and rallies. Jones soon became bitter toward the populous and government due to the ostracism that the Communist party officials received at the hands of the people. he was frustrated that the communist party wasn't able to move forward in their agenda so his thoughts and turned to new ways of obtaining a communist utopia. Dear reader I implore you to think for a moment if you where Jim Jones how would you strive to secure this goal of Communism. Jones plan is perhaps more sinister than you can imagine and surprisingly creative, Infiltrate the church. he got help from a Methodist superintendent that got him a student pastor position at Sommerset Southside Methodist Church, but He left the church Because its Leaders Barred him from integrating blacks into His Congregation. Jones then began his own church the Peoples Temple Christian Church Full Gospel.(some full Gospel) the temple (for short) grew on the back of his excellent preaching and recruiting skills. about this time the Indianapolis Democratic Mayor Charles Boswell appointed Jones director of the Human Rights Commission. Jones used this position to spread his Ideas about Communism. he also took on a non segregationist position for blacks and strove for black rights. Jim Jones then started a new project called the "Agricultural project" in the South African country Guyana. the point for this new project was to make a sanctuary from the Media and a location to create a socialist paradise. the new town began construction in 1974 Jones decided to name the town Jonestown in his own honor. because of the confidential nature of the compound to keep the media out and for maintaining control and power none the Jonestown residents were allowed to leave. Jones soon became more and more self-destructive becoming addicted to drugs and living an immoral degrading life during this time a group formed calling themselves the concerned relatives. they soon began several legal battles in hopes of shutting Jonestown down. Congressmen Leo J Ryan came on November 15 to investigate Jonestown and satisfy his own curiosity on the matter. He interviewed many of the people there and agreed to take back 15 people who expressed a desire to leave Jonestown. Leo Ryan and the 15 deserters where at the Port Kaituma Airstrip preparing to leave on the November Th 1976 when a farm tractor with a trailer pulled up with armed men from Jamestown, Leo, and four others were killed . Leo Ryan is the only congressman to be murdered in the line of duty. Jones gave his final sermon on that day imploring everybody to commit suicide. he is recorded saying "Don't be afraid to die, death is just stepping over into another plane and that a friend." he encouraged his people to welcome death "We didn't commit suicide, we committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world." Jones encouraged people to take the offered flavor aid mixed with cyanide and a sedative, he told people to lay down in family group and die. many took the drink willingly trusting Jones all the way to death. others were forced to take the drink or suffered some other form of death at the hands of the compliant. the children were forced to drink first and composed over one third of the population that committed suicide, May God Be with their soles. 909 inhabitants of Jonestown died that day on November 18 making it The greatest single loss of American civilian life in a non-natural disaster until the events of September 11, 2001, This is what happened in today's history, trust in God and his word for the truth.

Hear is one of my famous person quotes.

Loyalty to a friend and love to a brother, along with the mighty hand of God alone sustains my spiritual and physical livelihood. Fellowship and companionship is for me, is a critical component for productivity and perseverance.

What sustains you? Let me know.

Lost art of translating French

2010-06-01T13:46:00.000-07:00

OK I did some more research

and I finely discovered a way to translate French words that even most of the French don't use vary often.

step 1 insert word into a online French dictionary.

step 2 copy the French gobly gook description

step 3 paste it in a French English translator.

the first word rente, was able to be translated with just the french englesh translator but apanagère needed the fortold treatment.

so for your own benefit and the growing of the little gray cells, rente means private income and apanagère means prerogative, in royal inheritance

so in this context rente apanagère means said prince is given and has the right to a private income that he gets because he is in royal inheritance.

the French constitution of 1791

8. No real apanage shall be granted to members of the Royal Family.
The younger sons of the King shall receive at the age of fully twenty-five years, or at the time of their marriage, a rente apanagère, which shall be established by the legislative body and shall terminate with the extinction of their masculine posterity.

BTW some of the resourses I used are, http://1828.mshaffer.com/, http://webtranslation.paralink.com/, http://dictionary.reverso.net

Stumped!! rente apanagère

2010-06-01T13:37:00.000-07:00

can any one tell me what rente apanagère (its French) means I cant find any thing in my dictionarys or on the web.

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in. (yeah right.)

Well... it could come about in the following way: it could be that uh, at some earlier time somewhere in the universe a civilization e-evolved... by probably by some kind of Darwinian means to a very very high level of technology and designed a form of life that they seeded onto... perhaps this... this planet. Um, now that is a possibility. And uh, an intriguing possibility. And I suppose it's possible that you might find evidence for that if you look at the um, at the detail... details of our chemistry molecular biology you might find a signature of some sort of designer.

Look at those tear stained eyes.

Hiel Abby!!

Now this is what I call a cheep suite, do you like It?

2008-12-18T19:18:00.000-08:00

I was going through some pictures I had stored on my limited memory space and I found this one

tell me what you think, or put a caption to it.

I remember it was made from the morning news paper and miles of tape and that I also remember finding out that paper suits don't do so well in the rain.(total melt off)

My new kayak!!!

2008-12-10T11:14:00.000-08:00

Yay! I got my kayak frame from the Babcooks! They didn't have room for it at their new house so they gave it to me to complete. First of all, the kayak is a guillemont strip built kayak that is not finished. The strip building the art of placing thin strips of ceder around a frame.

This is what is all ready complete. The pattern has been placed on the plywood and then cut out, these cutout shapes become the frame for the kayak, and the shapes have been secured to the 2+4 so I am ready to start placing the strips on the frame.

These are glued as you go and held together with lots of clamps. After that is done, I need to do the fairing, which is simply smoothing the blocky hull with a plain.

I put this pic up because Graydon didn't know what a plain was when I told him, so this pic is for all those dingle-dorfs out there who don't know what a plain is.

Then I need to put on the fiber glass. The fiberglass will be placed on both the inside and the outside to provide the strength that the weak ceder strips need, like an I-beam.

I must be careful not to mess up, that fiberglass stuff is expensive, I will need to make sure that it is very smooth.

Then I will apply the resin and hardener to the fiberglass, and I need to make sure there are no bubbles under the fiberglass. I also need a chemical mask and rubber gloves, because that resin is very toxic and can damage my lungs.

Once the resin has been applied to the outside, then I will do same on the inside and be done the hull, then I can start on the deck.

Now I need to work on the cockpit, combing, hatches and shock cord. It can be very intimidating cutting into the finished hull with a scroll saw; one slip and it could ruin the hole boat. (but I haven't heard of that happening to anyone yet.) And now it is time to put the two halves together.

And done. This is probably what mine will look like.

But keep in mind that there are a million steps in between all the big steps and the whole kayak could take me three or or four months To fully complete. However, the final product can be very beautiful. Here's an example. (above)

Someday I would like to build a canoe as well.

I will keep you posted on my progress on the kayak. I figure it will cost me 400 to 500 dollars to complete. donations are greedily, I mean, gratefully accepted.

God bless

I'm a millionaire!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-11-08T18:01:00.000-08:00

Hey guys.Guess what. I'm a millionaire!!!!

I went through all my old emails and spam, (spam is good) and found out that I have been offered 41 jobs, including pharmaceutical aid, radiology technician, column writer and an ultrasound nurse. If I where to accept all of these job offers then I would receive $2,951,302 in salaries a year. Not a bad income.

Also, I am approved for up to $63,000 in loans and pay advancements.

And now the best news of all.

I have won or will "earn" with with only a few clicks a total of $51,920. That's right. And that total does not include my new digital camera, 2-Xbox 360s and a lap top.

Just think of what I could have missed if I did not clear out my spam filter.

I love spam!!!!!
