f the Law enforcement authorities and the government authorities won’t enforce the laws, how long will it be before US citizens do it for them?
If necessary, suspend the Posse Comitatus Law, and get the National Guard, and the Reserves, into the field, at once, to begin rounding these illegals up and herd them to, and, across the border.
I am a conservative Republican. I have been all my adult life. I am in my mid sixties and I am at the verge of leaving the Republican Party because our leaders have proven themselves to be “pretenders”, who are concerned only for their appearance before the cameras, and the microphones, of the mainstream media. They have grown fat on the “good life” of Washington until they are afraid of actually “representing” their constituents for fear of losing their splendid, soft, positions in the nation’s capital.
Our nation is being over run with illegal immigrants from Mexico and, God only knows where else! Good men have bled and died to secure this country in many crises before today’s. And yet, the spineless Congress, we currently have, is inclined to allow this wonderful, marvelous, country to be lost through “inaction” and “lack of will”. It is insane!
I’m worried that this situation is headed toward a climax, which will go down in the history books. And it doesn’t have to be this way.
The rumblings have begun. This situation can get very ugly, very fast! Those of you in the “Hallowed Halls of Congress” need to reassess your stance on illegal immigration and do it quickly. Your proposed bills to “solve” the situation have only created more consternation among your constituents. You really need to get out more.

This is not going away…not until the border is secured and the illegals are rounded up, and deported… and… new laws are enacted to stop the rape of our country by foreign illegals.
Did you know that two out of five single people in the UK now use some kind of on line dating service? That’s 40% of all singles! Unfortunately, the percentage of these people who actually find a real romance as a direct result of their site memberships is very low - probably less than 10%.

Fear of failure with regards to innovative marketing tactics and non-selling storytelling approaches kills many great ideas.
We must acknowledge that consumers today are more adept at sorting through sell messages and have access to vastly more useful information than in the past.

“IT job exports are forecast to increase by a compound annual growth rate of 5.9% between 2002 and the end of 2004, said Frost and Sullivan. The analyst firm looked at the global outsourcing of IT jobs across 14 countries. It estimated that this year, 826,540 IT jobs will be transferred abroad by the UK and the US, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan, amounting a value of UK 26.7bn.”
Dear FutureMe,
First off, what the hell are you doing still using gmail?
Second, I’m really surprised that I’m still alive. I’d have expected the stress of working 100 hours a week would have killed me by now. I mean, seriously, what are the odds of a human being actually surviving for 30 years on Ramen noodles and day old pizza?
Oh well, I hope things have turned out well for me.

First, it would serve as a warning to Russia and China to stop meddling in Western affairs. Second, it would provide future opportunities to put more of its troops in Europe and serve as a base for expansion. The missile defense base might have been a dream a couple of years back, and would have met considerable opposition from the European powers, primarily from Germany and France. But with the rising threat of terrorism combined with European anxiety about its vulnerability, a proposition of being guarded by the most powerful superpower in the form of a military base might actually become a reality. The losers in this case will the Czech Republic, which will ultimately become a puppet state of the US, and the American taxpayers, whose hard-earned money will be wasted on building an hegemonic empire. As I said, this is reminiscent of the Cold War.

The HR BPO Opportunity
Financial Express reports outsourcing of human resource services or HR BPO was emerging as the next big opportunity for Indian BPOs with the global market in this segment estimated at $40-60 billion per annum, experts said on Monday.
“Sensing the potential, global BPO players including Fidelity, Exult and Hewitt have begun setting up operations in India. However, most HR BPO players had not leveraged the offshore advantage as yet, he told PTI. Research firm Gartner has forecast HR BPO to reach $51 billion and represent 39% of all BPO revenue by 2004-end.”
“HR opportunity is absolutely new. It is a sunrise opportunity with huge potential,” Mr Chandrasekaran, who formed Secova eServices to tap this potential, said. “Our initial focus will be only on HR administration, benefits and payroll, in the mid-market which accounts for $13.2 billion.”

A more bullish view came Thursday from NeoIT, a consulting firm that advises clients about offshore projects. NeoIT “foresees a big year for offshore outsourcing growth in 2005″ and predicts that more than “80 percent of the Global 2,000 will have an offshore presence by the end of the year.”
Unfortunately, the laws of physics prevent us from speaking directly to our future selves. But a web site has made it possible for anyone to send messages to the person they will be tomorrow. All you need is an email address that will hopefully still be active on the date of delivery.

Visitors to the site can scroll through the public messages at random to read the dispatches from the past that await delivery–some hopeful, some filled with profanity, some bearing advice, others poignant.

Outsourcing Illness Diagnoses
The Seattle Times reports radiologists in Australia, India, Israel and Lebanon are reading scans on U.S. patients spurred by a shortage of U.S. radiologists and an exploding demand for more sophisticated scans to diagnose scores of ailments.
Despite some doctors’ fears, advocates say outsourcing radiology is nothing like the nightmarish vision of seedy sweatshops stealing U.S. jobs and replacing them with unqualified cheap labor. Most of the doctors are U.S.-trained and licensed, although there is at least one experiment using radiologists without U.S. training.
Dr. David Turner, chairman of diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, believes outsourcing fears are unfounded. With concern about medical errors and malpractice lawsuits, no U.S. hospital would risk hiring poorly trained doctors, he said. “The bottom line is this is not outsourcing in the sense that automobile jobs are going to Mexico and call center jobs are going to India,” Turner said. “It’s something on a different level.”

Outsourcing Debt Collection
Sify.com reports debt collection is becoming another area of outsourcing moving to India. According to a news report, units of General Electric, Citigroup, HSBC Holdings and American Express are using their India-based staff to pursue credit card debt and mortgage payment by calling defaulters.
”Our cost of collection is 40 percent less than operators in the U S,” Jerry Rao, chief executive of MphasiS, which has hundreds of debt-collection agents in Bangalore and Pune, told The Wall Street Journal. ”We can collect debts (American) firms didn’t expect before.” Outsourcing companies in such nations as the Philippines and Mexico (the latter mainly for U S -based Spanish speakers) are also entering debt-collection business, but India seems to have the largest and fastest-growing operations outside the United States.

New Study Finds Plan B Can Possibly Cause Abortions (Updated)
Posted on Contraceptionblog.com , the official blog of the No Room for Contraception Campaign.
A study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility found that levonorgestrel, the drug contained in Plan B emergency contraception, does inhibit implantation after all, at least some of the time. (Preventing implantation interrupts an existing pregnancy and is an abortive mechanism.)
Despite the fact that the manufacturer lists that the drug may prohibit implantation, advocates of Plan B have argued that the drug does not act in this manner. Many point to the Chilean Institute for Reproductive Medicine studies on rats and monkeys as proof that Plan B doesn’t cause abortions.
These are all 15 gallon size.
3- Pittosporums
5- Oleaders (Pink and Whites)
1-Honeysuckle vine
2-Orange Jubilee
3-Hibiscus
That is alot of planting, but it will make our property looke much better and I think sell much quicker. Once again it is horse property and listed under $200,000.
Then, there is the tub to fix all of a sudden the water dribbles out & of course the windows and carpets need to be cleaned.
Anyone know a good window washer let me know!

I want your pocket change & other things
Okay, I feel like I am beating a dead horse to death on this one, but please trust me when I say someday you will need to call 911 & someday may be sooner than you expect. The chances are when the operator picks up she will be kind, empathtic and professional & in spite of all this, she may be suffering her own problems but would never stay home or let the public know she is hurting or in need.
Others claim that the medical definition of pregnancy begins after implantation and therefore Plan B is not an abortifacient - perpetuating the myth that pregnancy begins at implantation.
The study found that in preventing ovulation, the drug was only 8%-49% effective depending on the amount of delay in using it. When the abortifacient mechanism, as well as other post-fertilizations mechanisms, had an effect, the effectiveness ranged from 16% to 90% in preventing both pregnancy and birth
This isn’t good news for Catholic Hospitals that are distributing emergency contraception. And it’s not good news for advocates claiming that emergency contraception prevents abortion - when it prohibits implantion, Plan B only changes when, not if, an abortion occurs.
But don’t expect this study to make headlines across the nation. And don’t expect pro-abortion bloggers to report on it either - facts don’t matter when it comes to contraception , unless it helps their cause.
