Is there any scary birds I shall watch out for?.lol! but serious I heard something on the news about bird flu but when I turned on my TV the news was almost done, so I didn't chats up exactly what they said.
How common is it for bird chicks (babies) to kill each other? I just came across some sad info about eagle chicks - the stronger chicks will kill the weaker ones in order to enhance their own odds of survival. How common is this in other bird species? This is tough news to take for a bird lover like me. :( Ben Franklin was right - the turkey should have been our national bird. The turkey is a truly American bird (native to America), and it's more respectable. In his own words, he said: "For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him. With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country.... I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America... He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on." --Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to his daughter

In Italy, is it a good sign if a bird poops on you? Ok, I'm watching "Under the Tuscan Sun" and this lady buys a house. The seller only sells the house because a bird poops on her head, and they say that this is a "very good sign". This is news to me. Is this actually a good sign? Or just Hollywood nonsense?
OMG, do you watch the news? last week many of the places on earth came under attack from giant brains. This is bad because brain make people dumb. All glory to the hipno-toad. The planet express team fail to deliver stuff because some places were destroyed by brains. A poodle monkey named nibbler flew a space ship and talked to leela in some ancient language. She though she was going crazy from years of wild hedonism. The professor was not smart. The robot started talking about no heart beet because he is stupid and forgot he was not human. Along the way to his home, nibbler told her about brains making earth stupider then normal. Most people sat and watched the news. Some bad things happened. A train crashed and piled up, but it was ok because the governor lady said I sending more train. The brain spawn no like thought, so they make people stupid. Not just people, but animals, and even some plants have brain waves that offend them. Some guy named fry does not. He is “special”. A bird yelled at him though a megaphone. Nobody knows why he is special, maybe because he doesn't shower. Leela's prom dress was made of carpet scraps. They wrote down a message for her because she was to stupid to something or another. Tomas Jefferson was our first president, not a pickle jar. Owe, fire hot! She say brain make people dumb, but fry say it make people smart. But a giant brain is basically a giant nerd, so go to library. Fry wanted to kick its ***, but it did not have an ***. It trapped fry in a story, but he got out, and wrote a story for brain. Leela like Mr Qwuequa. Brain stuck in loop hole of run on sentences and stuff, then left earth forever, for no raisin. The earth was saved.
Can pets and birds predict earthquakes? At about 1 o clock this morning our cockatiels went crazy for five minutes and wouldn't stop chirping. It was only later when watching the news I saw that this was the exact time of todays UK earthquake. I didn't feel it, but our birds clearly did and knew something was up. Are animals really the first to know about things like this? Have there been any proper scientific studies. Any reliable links?
i got this email from Iams bc i emailed them lol? i emailed them bout how they treat animals lol and they email me bk with this Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, there is highly inaccurate and misleading information circulating on the Internet regarding our feeding studies, and I’m glad you’ve given me the opportunity to provide you with the facts. We too are passionate about cats and dogs, with a deep commitment to their health and welfare. We are accountable for making sure that our products are wholesome, and that consumers can feed them with confidence. Instead of contracting other companies to conduct our feeding studies, we choose to conduct such studies in the homes of our employee families. Today, over 600 employee families participate in our in-home testing program. Even though the vast majority of our studies are conducted in an in-home setting, there are some studies that require in-depth data gathering in a more controlled environment. We do this type of feeding study in our company-owned Pet Health and Nutrition Center . These studies follow our industry leading research protocol and are the veterinary equivalent of nutritional or medical studies acceptable on people. The studies are monitored by our own staff of veterinarians, behaviorists and independent experts. Our Pet Health and Nutrition Center is a state-of-the-art facility. Our dogs and cats live in a cageless environment, receiving proper socialization in an enriched setting. Because dogs are pack animals, our dogs are housed with a companion. Each kennel has a doggie-door that takes them to an outside run, giving them lots of room for running and playing. Each dog is provided with his or her own toys (rotated on a regular basis) and their very own comfortable bed to sleep on. There is also a dog park adjacent to the kennels where the dogs play and interact each day in play groups. Our cats are housed in compatible social groups. Each room is furnished with beds, toys (to stimulate play) and several perches, which allow our cats to observe things from a higher viewpoint. Each cat room also has a very large window with a platform where our cats can lay in the sun or watch the birds feeding at the outside bird feeders. All of our dogs and cats reach a point in their life when it’s time to leave the Pet Health and Nutrition Center . That is when they are either adopted into a home or placed into our retirement facility. Either way, they will live out their lives in comfort with good food, good companionship, and good veterinary care. In 2007 we had several members of the news media tour our facility. Their reports are available at: http://www.iamstruth.com/iamstruth/en_US/jhtmls/landing/IT_Landing_Page.jhtml?li=en_US&pti=PP If you are interested in reading more, please visit www.IamsTruth.com. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. If you need further information or have specific questions, please contact us at 800-525-4267. We’re very happy to speak with you about this very important issue. Sincerely, Katie Iams Pet Care Team Member what yal think bout it? iknow its BS and there lying lol but its funny petcare.im@pg.com is there email address someone as ked
Movie about birds attacking people with really bad special effects? I was watching the news the other day and they ran a headline about a film that's "so bad it's good" and they played a short clip which looked like it had eagles/hawks attacking people with god-awful special effects. I changed the channel before I saw the full story but now I'm wondering what it was called?
Did you hear that the anti-American traitor John Kerry flipped the bird at our war vets? No lie. This man is an American traitor. Here are several sources: http://digg.com/politics/Senator_John_Kerry_flips_the_bird_at_Washington_war_vets http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/5/31/225546.shtml http://digg.com/world_news/Senator_John_Kerry_Flips_The_Bird_At_War_Vets http://gaylesliberallunacy.blogspot.com/2007/09/senator-john-kerry-flips-bird-at.html Let's watch all the John Kerry liberal lovers justify this action. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Insulting one vet, is insulting all the others. Lord, why is that man still in office?

The end of the world is near? With all the possibility for another World war (if any one been watching the news, the tensions between all the nations in the world are growing, similar to the nations in WW1.) A plague (HN51 bird flu) global warming, possible pole shifts and to top it all off, an asteroid is going to be visiting us in 2026 (it is going fly below the orbit of earth's artificial satellites, that is way too close for comfort.) Then there is the rumor of the world ending on 2012, Dec 21. What do you think about this and would you change the way you lived and look at life if you knew you and everyone around you would die sometime this century may it be 2012, or 2026? source http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm All these rumors? No. The asteroid coming and climate changing, yes. Scientists have detected an asteroid and it is coming this way. As for global warming, the ice caps are melting and I have noticed winters getting shorter and shorter. These I believe can create a very bad disaster Not to mention a supervolcano in the US may be ready to go at any moment. http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm .
Won't it be fun to watch FOX News election night? The unofficial propaganda arm of the Republican Party generally has a good time. When the Democrats were last in office they helped the attempted coup, and made cheap comments about every member of the Clinton family. Then their producer's cousin got elected, or at least got into office. Since then they have been arrogant and uncompromisingly biased, practically turning into caricatures of themselves. Now the birds are coming home to roost. Won't it be fun to watch as they see their employers get creamed by the hated Obama? How can Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh face the prospect of a darkie in the White House who isn't pushing a mop? Of course, if Karl Rove finds a way to rig the ballot computers I won't hear about it on FOX, but the flames and smoke will let me know right away.
Is this a hilarious Celtic news or not? Source: Boston Globe "The day after losing to the Cavaliers by 20 points, Doc Rivers didn't have the Celtics practice. The players went to the team's practice facility in Waltham Friday, put up a few shots and lifted some weights, but it wasn't a workday. Instead, Rivers sat them down to watch the HBO documentary "Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals,'' a movie Rivers saw when the team was in Los Angeles to play the Lakers. "I didn't think we needed work,'' Rivers said. "I thought we needed to be together. So instead of watching us play - I don't think anybody wanted to watch that - instead of watching a horror film, I decided to watch a good film.''" Then they lost to the pathetic team NEW JERSEY NETS...
humanity crumbling, perfection budding.? I recently read a theory about "the more a country worries about looks and the physical out side the more likely it is for that country to fail". This made sense to me, How much time do many of us spend in the bathroom perfecting what we look like to fit a ever changing mold? how many of my generation (Im 20) pick up the newspaper for the funnies and us the rest as a bird cage liner? How many of us watch the news, I know I dont. I only recently started getting more interested in watching/reading important topics when i started college. So my question is, where do you think the USA/the world is heading? Its great to be healthy and live long, but iv noticed that we all seem to be shallow, I would rather sink with knowledge then float with the perfect scales.
Giant bird sized super bugs? http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/07/070730-giant-insects_2.html The last bit states that if an arthropod like an insect or spider is put into a container with more oxygen, then it grows bigger. I don't know if I'm reading this correctly, but does that mean that if we put a dragonfly in a nicely sized tank with lots of oxygen in it, it'd grow to enormous proportions, like, a bird sized dragonfly? Because I don't know about you but I think that'd be fucking awesome. Imagine dropping like, a cat or something into this super sized bug facility, only to watch it get picked off by a giant dragonfly. Shit.

Can you imagine how this mother must feel? I was watching a news program with a focus on Middle Eastern news. I looked for a link to this story online but can't find one. Anyway, the program told of a news story from Iran that a large bird had grabbed and flown away with a 1-year-old child. The mother had been changing the boy in a park when the eagle came down and grabbed the little boy in it's talons and flew off with him. I didn't know there were eagles in Iran but I'm sure that's what it said. Is it even possible that a bird could lift and fly off with a 1-year-old boy? I guess it's obvious what the bird intended to do with the little boy.
Could this possibly me more sad? I was watching a news program with a focus on Middle Eastern news. I looked for a link to this story online but can't find one. Anyway, the program told of a news story from Iran that a large bird had grabbed and flown away with a 6-month-old child. The mother had been changing the boy in a park. When the woman went to her carriage to get a new diaper, the eagle came down and grabbed the little boy in it's talons and flew off with him. I didn't know there were eagles in Iran but I'm sure that's what it said. Is it even possible that a bird could lift and fly off with a 6-month-old boy? Am I correct in my assumption as to what the bird intended to do with the little boy? I presume he was eaten. :-(

Boston Adult Swim publicity stunt? Anyone hear about the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Stunt that appears to have panicked Boston? (I religously avoid watching the news, I check headlines about once a day, by-product of a past media-relations career) any thoughts on it? I'm torn. On one hand, i'm laughing my butt off of pictures of bomb squads removing eltric signs of cartoon characters (the mooninites for the ATHF faithfull) fliiping the bird, subsequently blowing them up for fear of explosives. On the other hand, the adult in me says Adult Swim, or whoever was responsible, shouldv'e known better. what's your opinion of this 'stunt' and the reaction?
We're at war, children are being abused & neglected, homeless everywhere....so let's spend tax dollars on....? ......a study of how bats can turn in flight more easily than birds? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070510/sc_nm/bats_flight_dc NOTE TO THE GOVERNMENT: I don't give a sh!t about how bats fly! They fly, and that's it! Why aren't you asking how unemployed factory workers are feeding their families and keeping a roof over their heads now that their jobs are being outsourced, you jerkoffs? I swear, I can't watch the news or read the paper, or even get on the Yahoo homepage without getting pissed off at the stupidity of our government. You think maybe if THEY had to be homeless, or were unable to afford proper healthcare, it might make a dent in those thick skulls of theirs? >: (
Getting away with murder? I was watching the news about natilee Haloway ,Isn t nice to no the kid who did this horrible thing is walking around free as a bird, so he can do it agian! Whatever happened to justice?
Blondie Jokes... ??? How does a blondie kill a fish? -She tries to drown it How does a blondie kill a bird? -She tries to throw it off a cliff edge. An elderly couple was watching the news on TV when a breaking story broke in. The reporter explained that a person was killed in the K-Mart shopping center. The elderly man turned up the volume because he was very interested in the story. The reporter continued, " We just gotten the latest news, it appears that a blond has been ran over by a parked car."
Please help me? Is this a mental disorder? Little history first. I have been hallucinating since I was 5 until around the age of 12. I was terrified of the dark and would have things grabbing me in the night, jumping on my bed, things creeping up to my bed, or seeing monsters faces/eyes/teeth/things slithering/dark shapes etc etc. When I did fall asleep I would usually be awakened by a nightmare which gave me a horrible feeling that woke me up. Then it would cycle through all the sounds/sights until I was just exhausted and passed out. Either that or my sister would come home and go to sleep, I could go to sleep if someone else was in the room. I felt as if my room was haunted, I at one time tried to enter my room but was held back by some kind of "force." I realize none of this was real and when I got to the age of 12 I moved house. I trained my mind to ignore the sounds and completely relax my body. If I didn't respond to anything I heard they went away, or so I thought. from the age of 12 up to 16 I would have these "rape dreams" and other dreams where I was held down and unable to wake from my sleep. I've also had extremely vivid and lifelike dreams my entire life but these dreams were way different. I can remember dreams I've had when I was 4. I prided myself with being able to control what I saw more or less or change my surroundings. I could take a picture with my eyes and color it instantly into black and white or different colors etc etc. I've always been extremely creative and a brilliant student. I've had one paranoid delusion in my life which I cannot get over. I believe that whenever I watch the news I feel like the people are watching me and can hear what I say. I have even dressed up to watch the news and at one point lived in a fantasy that one of my inventions had hit it off and the news people were interviewing me. I've also imagined have affairs with them etc to the point where I feel awkward watching them. I'm 17 now, and last night I had a dream much like the dreams I had from age 5-12. I see flashes of things that aren't really there such as recently I saw a bird fly in the house that really wasn't there and a month flying around me that wasn't really there either. These flashes are only visible for about 1 second each and then vanish. They also differ from reality in the sense that they seem to be in a different dimension and are soundless. Recently I've been constantly hallucinating, lights and shadows are driving me insane! Everything seems like its moving and I see a lot of sparks. Its constant and extremely annoying. Is this an eye problem or is it somehow linked with everything else? I also was seeing faces in my wall last night and the light distorted into this human like figure but nothing has been moving as it would in the past. I need to know if I need to seek help. I've never had this "everything slightly moving" sight problem before and I'm afraid there is something wrong with my eyes? The patterns are like zig zags and spark. Please help me, I'm so scared of seeking help.
chilling nightmare,what does it mean (long,plz read important)? I don't watch scary movies alot,the last scary movie i saw was last year.So my nightmare wasn't caused by movies or tv.Anyway i had a dream about my neighbor,Rachael.In the dream she tells me she's going to this party at a friends crib.So i'm all "cool,have a good time" and she leaves in her car to go to the party. After she leaves,i decide to take a walk around my neighborhood.And while i'm walkin i see all these birds in the trees,like 45 to a single tree,they looked like blue robbins.Then one of em flies down and lands next to me and it starts whisperin "Rachael...Rachael..." then another one flies down and it too starts to whisper "Rachael...Rachael..." then a 3rd bird flies down and perches on my shoulder and whispers "call...Ra...chael..." they keep this up till there's about fifteen of em surrounding me whisperin the same thing over and over again,till finally i just run in the house. I think to myself (maybe i should call her,but she's probably havin a good time i don't wanna bother her or creep her out) instead i call her cell later around 9pm but no answer.So i assume she has it off or she's havin a good time. The next day (in the dream) i try callin again,still no answer.And she hasn't come back home yet,but i don't let it worry me.I turn on the t.v to get my mind off it,and theres a news story about police findin some girls body lying in the woods,completely nude and police have suspicion she was raped.And i continue watching the news story to see who the poor girl is,and it's Rachael. what does it mean? in real life i talk to her when i see her,but we're not tight.Should i tell her anyway? should i be worried about this?
Don't TASE me bro?? What's it all about? I was just watching the Breaking News on CNN. I encountered, " Bird flying in senate" and i started to laugh, the security tried to get rid of the bird, but they couldn't , they said, if we read the bird's mind, it says" Don't tase me bro"!

What doest that mean, what does TASE mean? What's it all about?
This is a poem i just wrote. Opinions? My brother just got the stop loss call after he was supposed to be done and out of the Army. So he inspired this poem. What do you think? I wake up everyday To waste my time away I walk around the house Feeling as small as a mouse I am sick of being stuck In this lifeless cycle of muck Filled with heartless words Doomed as a flightless bird I want to get out But I have so many doubts I will be stuck here forever Forced to live in this endless endeavor I am just a mindless thing Nothing but a feather on a wing Yet I keep telling myself That I live free in a country of wealth But I know it is not true I am trapped just like you We all believe what they say Watching the news each and every day Listening to there lies Being part of their disguise Yet we can't do anything But be their puppet on a string We know the government can be odd But is it right for them to play god? No negativity wanted.

Did you watch Sesame Street when you were a kid? Who was your favorite character? http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Puppeteer-happy-Big-Bird/ss/events/en/061608spinneybigbird/s:/ap/20080616/ap_on_bi_ge/being_big_bird;_ylt=AvhTXcKDabyY3VL8tWAW0T9v24cA#photoViewer=/080616/480/830ad1fc2b614a59acb36a7c038851a6 I loved Big Bird! I watched it when I was in High School because it was fun. Remember the Snuffalupugus - at first only Big Bird could see him but after numerous seasons, everyone saw him and stopped thinking Big Bird was making it all up. Here I am talking like they are real people!
Who has failed the children? Who is responsible for kids 1-17 not being taught proper sexual education. I learned the birds and the bees in 3rd grade. My mom gave us a child's book and explained to us about molestation in Kindergarden. We have watched the news since 5th grade. in the 90's when I was a teenager I always had older 18-25 year old guys talk to me, my sisters and our friends at the mall or whatever. They'd try to get with us because we were young and they thought were stupid. We rejected the morons who obviously wanted to control us and screw us over. My mom explained to us why older guys go for 13-16 year olds and it made perfect sense. Q: Who has failed the children growing up, so they don't understand what is acceptable and what is not? is it the home, media, schools? what? All are great answers, I just wish more kids wouldn't get sucked up in the BS. I wish more girls growing up wouldn't let older guys have their way with them and think it's normal for all older guys to get with teenage minors. It's not new either, but it IS wrong for a reason.
Forecasters are predicting chaos on roads next week, with warnings of ice and snow. You know what I predict? half an inch of snow on high ground, it gets a little frosty. Same old thing every year, weathermen try and sex up the forecast and its never as bad as they say. Every year they predict this will be the hottest summer/ coldest winter on record. They now issue severe weather forecasts at the drop of a hat! It gets a bit windy and they issuing me with a severe weather warning. Why oh why oh why cant we get back to sensible forecasts, when people like Michael Fish just couldnt be even arrsed to tell us about a hurricane. Thats the way it should be, no one listens to the weather forecast anyway. If I HAVE to listen to it I just want to know is it going to rain, none of the sexy forecasts they try and do now. Although that bird who does the weather on sky news is worth watching, she is a sexy forecast Sorry Ms Minger, I still love you Who agrees they should stop trying to scare us with these forecasts and they should bring back Wincey Willis?
Why is the EPA watching BP dump tons of chemical dispersants into the water, not knowing what will happen? A) We KNOW how to clean up oil B) We DON'T KNOW the long term effects of using large amounts of this chemical dispersant. So WHY is the EPA (supposedly protectors of the environment) letting BP dump lots of dispersants into the water while ADMITTING they don't know what the ultimate ecological impact could be?? (The UK ALREADY banned this dispersant [Corexit] out of environmental concerns) It's obvious the Federal Government has very few capabilities to stop the flow of oil.............but couldn't they at least try to limit a potentially WORSE environmental disaster?? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100531/hl_nm/us_dispersant_concerns#mwpphu-container A large undersea cloud of dissolved hydrocarbons discovered last week near the Gulf of Mexico oil spill raises fresh questions about toxic chemicals used to fight the spill and their environmental impact. David Hollander, a University of South Florida oceanographer, headed a research team that discovered the six-mile (10-km) wide "oil cloud" while on a government-funded expedition aboard the Weatherbird II, a vessel operated by the university's College of Marine Science..................In a statement issued on Monday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the underwater use of dispersants appeared to have been effective so far in breaking up oil from the BP spill and did not seem to have had any significant impact on aquatic life. "EPA and the U.S. Coast Guard are taking steps that could reduce the volume of dispersants applied in the Gulf. While we do know dispersants are less toxic and shorter-lived than the oil, much remains unknown about their impact on the environment when used in these unprecedented volumes," the statement said. Roughly 850,000 gallons (3.2 million liters) of dispersant had been used to combat the Gulf spill as of Thursday, including 150,000 gallons (570,000 liters) released below sea level. http://motherjones.com/politics/2010/05/epa-bp-dispersants This week, lawmakers are grilling BP executives and government officials about the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But they should be asking tougher questions about the recovery effort, too. BP's critics say the company is spraying hundreds of thousands of gallons of harmful chemical dispersants into the Gulf when less toxic options are available. Which raises the question: Why is the Obama administration allowing a company whose poor safety record led to the spill make crucial decisions on the chemicals used for the clean-up? Dispersants are compounds used to break down oil into smaller globs so that it sinks and biodegrades more quickly. The two primary dispersants being used in the Gulf are Corexit 9500 and Corexit(R) EC9527A—compounds created by an Illinois-based company called Nalco. According to the Deepwater Horizon Joint Information Center, the unified command office set up to deal with the spill, approximately 600,000 gallons of dispersant had been deployed by Sunday, most of it sprayed over the spill site from the air. Last weekend, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave BP the green light to apply dispersants directly at the source of the spill—the first time this method has been used. BP has stockpiled a third of the world's supply of dispersants; Corexit comprises the vast majority of this supply. But environmental experts have warned that Corexit could add to the ecological disaster in the Gulf rather than alleviate it. Oil companies designed the dispersants to reduce the amount of oil hitting land. That may spare BP the PR nightmare of oil-coated birds washing up on Louisiana’s shorelines. However, as scientists such as marine toxicologist Dr. Riki Ott point out, BP's chosen dispersants will simply push the problem underwater. The chemicals, says Ott, have "the potential to cause intergenerational harm" to marine life. Corexit has been banned in the United Kingdom due to environmental concerns.
The US to send more than 8000 men at the frontier between CANADA and USA, isn't late to care about that? Well, it has been more than 6 years now, since 9/11, and all of the sudden Ronald Colburn, claimed that it is time to reinforced the frontier with Canada! They will send 8000 men more at the frontier with Canada (now 1000 only)... Well Mexico has over 200million peoples and the government is corrupt to the bones (having 12000 customs agents), while Canada has 31millions and has much less corruptions (and more regulations) to avoid radioactive materials entering the US... Well by December 2008, the 9000 mens (8000 + 1000) will all be there watching what? Birds or they are there for another non disclosed purposed? In any cases, I am not sure this will be done to keep Canadians out of the US, but more likely to keep Americans from coming to Canada, if Bush is gonna remained in power... What you say? Sorry link is in French... Look for Ronald Colburn on google news, maybe there.... Well dixie, its not a far left site, its our national news Channel... CTC or Radio-Canada... And our government is also conservative... So just do your research before telling peoples that they are twit!
How to protect plants from frost? I know its a bit early, but I always get caught short when an unexpected freeze is announced. Getting ready for bed, watching the 11pm news and being told to protect your tender vegetation tonight! So what do you all do to save your plants? I usually put my cactus/succulents either in the garage for the winter or under an overhang. What do you do with large plants like the giant bird of paradise? I've heard that covering them can work, but not to let anything touch the leaves. Not sure how one does that. Also read that you can water or spray your plants so that when the water freezes, the plant wont get much colder than freezing. As a last resort, if its not raining. I thought about cranking up all the barbeques I have leave them glowing all night. Thought that might do something. Oh, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area - we don't get a lot of freezing nights here so we are not used to or know about dealing with this. last winter we had one night where it was 20 in my backyard. Lost quite a few things that night. Thx all !

is this story pretty good so far i'm not done yet? You Have Mail! Have you ever had a day were you thought it was a dream. I have. " Caleen come on lets go or your going to be late for school!" From downstairs my mom yelled. I groaned and rolled over to my side to look at what time it was.The clock said 6:33 and I had to get to school at 7:00. I layed in my bed comfy and warm not wanting to move. I saw no reason why I had to get up now. I closed my eyes. Just a few minutes, i'll get up in a few minutes. I sighed closing my eyes. "Caleen!" my mother yelled. Or not! I groaned again loud enough for my up tight mother to hear. I am 13 years old I think I can get up myself. Apparently, I rolled over too much and fell flat on the floor. I lifted my head up and waited for my mother to ask what just happened. No answer. I stood up and look at myself in my mirror. I was wearing my blue with black strips short shorts, and a pink spagittee strap shirt, my hair looked like a bird was nesting in it. I looked around for my hair brush I found what I was looking for and brushed out my hair. My hair was brown with bronze highlights. I hated my hair down, it covered my face so, I took a hair tie from my wrist,and put my hair up in a ponytail. I smiled in approval. My bangs hung on the side of my face. I didn't wait for my mother to call my name to get ready, so I grabed a outfit to wear. I had a pair of tan capree's and a white tee-shirt on my dresser. I put that on. I turned to look at myself in my mirror. I posed, I thought I looked awesome. I looked at the clock it was 6:45 I had just enough time for my mom to drive. I don't like to rush, but she also likes being the first person everywhere, that's what I didn't like about her. I didn't mean that in a bad way though. I am in 8th grade and the school I go to is, Appleton Middle school. My principle is Mr. Turnwell. I walked downstairs to see my mom at the counter eating a bagel and drinking her regular cup of coffee. I waved at her and walked towards the fridge. My stomach was growling. I grabbed a bagel, and gave my mom a hug. " What's up?" She asked. "Nothing. Um... i'm going to watch the news ok?" I asked. She nodded. I walked into the empty living room. I loved walking into a empty room. I feel like I have control. I turned on the t.v. and flicked through the channels. I stopped on the news channel. The news ladie was giving a report on a kiddnapping. " 13 year old Samantha Turnwell, was walking home from school and wasn't seen since. We arrived at Stephinie's house to speak with the parents and this is what we found out..." " Please, if anyone finds my daughter call 555-2313 There will be reward, she was wearing a white skirt and a blue blouse, she has blonde hair and her hair is usually down." The mother was starting to cry, I could see the father in the backround comforting her. The news lady came back on the screen. " Sam was last seen behind a gas station,going through a shortcut to her home, and here is a video camera to prove that." I saw Sam walking minding her own buisness, and all of a sudden the screen went black, as if someone shot a bullet through it. Then the news ladie came back on the screen and started talking about the weather for the week. " Come on Caleen." My mother said right behind my back and made me jump a mile. "Ok." I said. The whole day went by slowly my friends had to nudge me to answer whenthe teacher asked me something. I coldn't get my mind off of that Sam case. I felt so bad for the parents, and her. The bell rang and I walked over to my locker. I felt someone tap me on my back. I twirled around to see one of my best friends, Kyle. " Whats up?" He asked. " Nothing." I answered. I told him about the news this morning. He heard about it too. Kyle lives just next door to me. He has brown culry hair that hangs down to his neck. So we walked home together as usual. We mostly talked about school. I arrived at my house and he walked into his house and he waved goodbye. I waved goodbye back. I went through my front door to see my mom and dad watching t.v. "Hi, mom and dad, um, i'm going in my room." "Ok!" They answered. I ran up the stairs, and opened my door to my room. I dropped my bag and jacket onto my bed, then I went onto the computer.I signed onto my aol username. 'You have mail', the automated voice said as I signed on. I sighed and checked my mail. I clicked on the mail it was a e-mail address I never heard of. I clicked on the e-mail again. Just so it would hurry up. A page came up and I starred in confusion, the e-mail said........ help me!!!!!! That e-mail freaked me out, I think it was just some kids trying to freak me out? I thought. I just simply deleted it and stood there in fright. I didn't bother telling my mom, I think it was just someone trying to freak me out. I looked out the window to see Kyle racking the leaves. I decided to help him. Before lea

Are you ready to listen to the Austrian School of Economics yet? Watching economists and media analysts react to breaking economic news is a bit like looking at a flock of pigeons flying over the New York skyline. A true wonder of the urban landscape, the flocks can include hundreds of individuals who show an uncanny ability to stay in tight formation as the group quickly zig-zags between buildings. What may be even more remarkable than their ability to randomly fly while maintaining cohesion is the flock's refusal to stick to any particular direction for very long, and their determination to fly feverishly without actually going anywhere. Sound familiar? Today's weak GDP numbers have finally caused the mass of economists to revise downward their formerly optimistic recovery forecasts, with many finally entertaining the possibility of a "double dip" recession. It should be obvious by now that these economists only have the capacity to describe where the economy is moving in the short-term...they have no ability to explain the reasons behind the macro trends or make predictions that go beyond the next data release. But economics is not dart throwing. It can be understood and properly forecast. The major mental block is that most economists believe that an economy grows as a result of spending. Any policy that encourages spending and discourages savings and investment is considered beneficial. Unfortunately, these policies, which only succeed in growing debt and government, act more as an economic sedative than a stimulant. On the subject of the "recovery," I'd like to highlight some of my past predictions, and those of my colleague Michael Pento. With the benefit of hindsight, you can see that although these thoughts were widely dismissed as chronic pessimism at the time of their publication, the current situation supports our conclusions. Although some of our predictions, like for higher bond yields, have yet to materialize. Michael and I may be birds of a feather, but we don't blindly follow the flock. We believe economics is a scientific discipline with established laws, and that applying those laws will yield fairly accurate predictions over time. Most other economists say what they need to say to do the bidding of their employer (whether Wall Street or Washington) and maintain the respect of their peers. Good for them, but who should you trust when you are making investment decisions? - Peter Schiff Peter Schiff was right 2002-2009 w/ exact dates http://www.break.com/usercontent/2009/7/peter-schiff-was-right-new-2002-to-2009-with-exact-dates-921739.html The above link was removed, but this is the same video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCv32qaINIQ
