All Canadians need to be aware. Action Alert June 27, 2008 CFAC supporters in Alberta, Here is some disturbing information about vaccinations. Especially the "new"wonder cure for cervical cancer - Gardasil. Read the red highlights, but this is only one of many stories about the dangers of, as reported, this mercury contaminated Merck drug that all young Canadian girls will be encouraged to take ( some places mandated to take). The matter that parents must sign a consent form does not negate or lessen the matter of negligence the government federal and provincial (who approved this Gardasil drug), the doctors who have been in media telling how safe it is and the school administration that provide it if cases of serious or fatal reaction occur. Mercury was removed from some vaccines due to the serious illnesses they caused. Why does this contain mercury with all the evidence available as to its toxic dangers. The original source of the mercury report was a Dr. Mercola and some...

Have been writing a novel for the past oh, 3, 4 or maybe it's 5 now, years. I don't write with everything all planned out ahead of time. I have an idea, in this case it was a dream that inspired me, and I get a general idea of what may happen. I say what may happen because as with real life, sometimes things change. This story seemed almost to write itself. I think having this blog has helped me enormously with my writing, not only because I have gone back and taken stuff from it, but also just because I am constantly writing, and the more you write, the better you get. I say the story writes itself, but not because it suddenly all came to me. It comes to me in bits and pieces. The characters take on a life of their own. It almost seems as though they and not I write the story. Certain characters are definitely not doing what I expected them to originally. When I started writing, I did not foresee three parts to the novel, that just happened. I enjoy writing, but don't hav...

ABC Color - Cecilia Medina El calor de un hogar no es el entorno para muchos niños y niñas, que pasan sus días en medio de los riesgos de la calle, bajo la lluvia y con frío. Así como su realidad es heterogénea, requiere de respuestas específicas. Ayer fue un día especial para quedarse en casa, guarecidos entre el amor de mamá y papá, ante al calor de la estufa, al menos de la cocina, o tal vez del brasero, con una taza de rico cocido caliente con leche y galletas. O bueno, para ir a la escuela, y como generalmente acuden menos chicos, a causa de la lluvia, para hacer grupos de lectura, ver alguna película y analizarla, o realizar actividades de esparcimiento dentro del aula, entretenidas y educativas. A pesar de ello, esa no fue, ni es, la realidad de numerosos niños y niñas, que por diversos motivos se encuentran en las calles en situación de riesgo, ante circunstancias muy diversas. Mientras lo ideal hubiera sido que estén protegidos y a salvo, muchos niños, niñas y adolescentes viv...

I know I have a few pounds to lose, but I'm not really all that overweight. If you look at my face, my shoulders, my arms, my legs... I'm really not overweight at all. But then why do I look like I have the belly of a woman 4-5 months pregnant (depending on whether it's her first or a consecutive pregnancy)? Is this the curse of the mother who has had more than two or three children, to look like she is perpetually pregnant, even when she is not? How does one get one's uterus to go back to it's original resting place, and one's skin to smooth out and lose the deflated balloon look? Oh, I suppose bloating and gas and constipation don't help either. But as long as I am still breastfeeding, there isn't much I can do about any of that. So why is it that I have cut back enormously on deserts and sugar and pop and junk food in the past 6 or 7 years, that I play soccer twice a week, that I go jogging every once in awhile, that I am also active in other wa...

Nicky got up in the middle of the night last night (as he does every night, and I wonder why I am still lethargic?), so I put him back to bed. He crawled into his bed and made room for me to lie down beside him. Nicky: Dark. Eat fish. Night. Me: The dark eats fish at night? Nicky: Yup. This dark eats a lot of things. I never have to worry about Nicolas running outside at night, because the dark might eat him. A month or two ago he was specifically worried that the dark would eat his penis. (What can I say, he is two, the anal stage.) I think of all my kids he is the one that has the most imagination at this age, although Gabriel came pretty close. I think I may just have to write a little story some day about "the dark". All this and he hasn't even read the book " The dark is rising " by Susan Cooper yet.

Bible citation costs couple jobs, home Apartment managers evicted, fired for being 'too religious' Posted: June 20, 20084:57 pm Eastern© 2008 WorldNetDaily For eight years Daniel and Sharon Dixon, apartment managers in Lake City, Fla., displayed in the apartment complex's management office a stained glass depiction of flowers with the words "Consider the lilies … Matthew 6:28" written in the lower left corner – an act for which they were suddenly fired from their management jobs and evicted from their apartment. Mathew D. Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel , a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom that is representing the Dixons, told WND that neither before nor after the incident were the Dixons charged with any wrongdoing other than protesting the removal of the artwork and loss of their jobs. "They were suddenly terminated as a result of the religious bigotry of one supervisor," Staver said in a press release . "The Dix...

Unbelievable but true, this is what is behind Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger called for (in her own words): “a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring. It is a vicious cycle; ignorance breeds poverty and poverty breeds ignorance. There is only one cure for both, and that is to stop breeding these things. Stop bringing to birth children whose inheritance cannot be one of health or intelligence. Stop bringing into the world children whose parents cannot provide for them. Herein lies the key of civilization.” * U.S socialist writer Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and the mother of the abortion movement (1879-1966) Ahh yes... we live in such a more civilized society today. Thank you Margaret Sanger. Thank you. How is Purgatory? How many more millions of years of penitance do you have left? Assuming t...

An article I received, my comments below: Letter from Dutch "moderate" Muslim By "Al-Onal" On June 10 the newspaper de Volkskrant published an intriguing essay (translation here) by a "highly educated Dutch Muslim woman" writing under the name Samira al-Onal. She challenges Muslims in the Netherlands to stop demanding special treatment, to reject religiously inspired violence, and to let go of "superiority, sanctimoniousness, and ignorance." The broadsheet agreed to run the piece pseudonymously due to the author's fear of reprisals for sharing views such as these: "We find it marvelous that Islam is growing. But there is a growth of blind belief. ... Take the beheading of non-Muslims in Iraq and Pakistan. The so-called heroic deeds are carried out in the name of Allah. What do we do? Do we condemn these? No, we look on silently. We do, however, take to the streets if there is an insulting cartoon in a newspaper and we threaten politician...

It only lasted for 15-20 minutes. It left 7 trucks on the Champlain bridge overturned and the Champlain bridge totally blocked for hours. It uproofed houses in Saint Blaise, as well as knocking out about 50 hydro poles. In Montreal, a couple of window washers were washing windows on a building near where Marc works. The plank they were on started to swing out, back and forth up to about a 45 degree angle, until the people in the building broke the window to pull them in. It left hundreds of thousands without hydro, some for only hours, others, like oursleves, for days. We found ourselves pratically back in the colonial days. Except that instead of cooking on a woodstove, I was using the barbecue and the propane burners. Instead of fetching water from a nearby river, I was carrying water from the pool to wash the dishes, flush the toilets and yes, even wash oursleves. We bought bottled water for drinking. At night we used candles. Although I discovered (too late) that we did ha...

Got this in an e-mail today: Buying gifts for men is not nearly as complicated as it is for women. Follow these rules and you should have no problems. Rule #1:When in doubt, buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he already has one. I have a friend who owns 17, and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. No one knows why. Rule #2:If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word "ratchet" or "socket" on it. Men love saying those two words. "Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. By the way, are you through with my 3/8-inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows why. Rule #3:If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car: a 99-cent ice scraper, a small bottle of de-icer or something to hang from his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why. Rule #4:Never buy men bathrobes. Once I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he woul...

FR. RAYMOND J. DE SOUZA When did the Bible become 'hate speech'? Father Raymond J. de Souza, National Post, Thursday, June 12, 2008 Four years ago, I wrote an article entitled "Thinly Disguised Totalitarianism" for the religious journal First Things, surveying the erosion of Canadian religious liberty under various regulatory bodies, professional associations and human rights tribunals. I wrote then that "there are no restrictions on freedom of worship in Canada today." That's no longer true. As Ezra Levant details below, the Stephen Boissoin case is an egregious assault on religious liberty, press freedom and freedom of speech. And for those of us who previously underestimated the threat to religious liberty, it serves as a rude correction. The judgment of the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission (AHRCC) against the Reverend Stephen Boissoin, a Protestant youth pastor, is a direct violation of his religious liberty. Whatever his "guilt...

J'aime bien recevoir l'Évangile au Quotidien par courriel. Comme ça j'ai toujours accès aux lectures du jour, et parfois, comme aujourd'hui, il y a une lecture en particulier qui me parle à travers les siècles comme si c'était écrit juste pour moi: Deuxième lettre de saint Paul Apôtre à Timothée 2,8-15. Souviens-toi de Jésus Christ, le descendant de David : il est ressuscité d'entre les morts, voilà mon Évangile. C'est pour lui que je souffre, jusqu'à être enchaîné comme un malfaiteur. Mais on n'enchaîne pas la parole de Dieu ! C'est pourquoi je supporte tout pour ceux que Dieu a choisis, afin qu'ils obtiennent eux aussi le salut par Jésus Christ, avec la gloire éternelle. Voici une parole sûre : Si nous sommes morts avec lui, avec lui nous vivrons. Si nous supportons l'épreuve, avec lui nous régnerons. Si nous le rejetons, lui aussi nous rejettera. Si nous sommes infidèles, lui, il restera fidèle, car il ne peut se rejeter lui-même. Vo...

Came across this today... The Inherent problem with Religious Endorsements There’s been much said about Religious Endorsements in American Politics. I see one vital flaw in seeking or receiving such endorsements. Politicians here should take note. Clergy must explain the reality of the world under the assumption that God exists. Most of these people believe that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnivirtuous. Thus they must explain tragic events as they occurred with the blessing of their God. Here in lies the rub. You’re guaranteed to say something that will offend people as soon as you start equating reality with God’s hand. Whether it be Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Tsunami’s, or Terrorist attacks, a Clergy member is stuck in an uncomfortable position of validating God’s existence in-spite of these tragedies. So when Hagee says that “Hitler was doing God’s work”, in his mind, this is the only way he can coalesce his belief with reality. It’s a distasteful and horrendous statement to t...

I'm putting Gabriel to bed. We've said our prayers. Me: "Big kiss?" Gabriel: "That's dégueulasse (disgusting). Ok, but this is the last time. It's dégueulasse." Me: "Huh? How come?" Gabriel: "Because ummmm... because you can catch... emotion from somebody."

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster. Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold! Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking. Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking. To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up. For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting. Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of t...

BAJO LA INSPIRACION DEL MAESTRO LUIS SZARAN Los “Sonidos de la tierra” se expanden por el suelo chaqueño FILADELFIA, Chaco (Marvin Duerksen, corresponsal). El creador del proyecto “Sonidos de la tierra”, Luis Szarán, visitó el jueves a niños y jóvenes músicos en Pozo Colorado y Yalve Sanga. “Es increíble el resultado de este trabajo”, dijo el maestro, quien también ha dedicado recientemente una obra a los ayoreos de Chaidi. El programa de integración social y comunitaria a través de la música “Sonidos de la tierra” ha iniciado también la creación de escuelas de música y orquestas juveniles en el Chaco. Debido a las enormes distancias, el proyecto busca brindar oportunidades al desarrollo del talento juvenil entre niños, hijos de peones de estancia, a veces separados por cientos de kilómetros, etnias indígenas y áreas rurales de difícil acceso. En Pozo Colorado, Szarán visitó la escuela San Isidro Labrador, que celebra en junio 70 años y donde el programa beneficia a más de 200 niños. “...
