Happy Holidays?
How come the holidays are so stressful? I am not as stressed this year, but then again, I haven't put up the tree yet and and have only bought a few gifts. I went to the store yesterday to buy some gifts for my nephew and my Dad and Step Mom. The stores were so crowded! The shoppers were grouchy, and they kept wheeling out more items. I don't get it. How come this holiday season is so full of commercialism?

Beef
(not for the squeamish) This video comes closest to how beef is currently processed in the U.S. Afterward, the carcasses must be cooled (quickly) and kept chilled below 40 degrees F for at least 48 hours. They can then be cut. They are cut in a large room that is kept chilled below 40 degrees. The workers wear clean coats, hairnets, hats, protective eyewear, gloves and boots. No jewelry or items are allowed. There are boot washes at the entrances to the room (which must be stepped into in order to enter or leave). There are also hand sanitizing stations. After leaving the room, the workers must put their overcoat (frock) into the dirty laundry. They receive a clean frock when they are ready to re-enter. There are USDA inspectors present in all areas of the plant. Workers cannot go from slaughter area to the cutting area without changing their clothing and sanitizing their boots and hands.

Jim Webb' Novels are a Non-Issue
I do not live in Virginia, so I have no personal interest in this race other than the current issue brought up about his novels. I have read the passages in question. Besides the fact that these are fiction books, they are based on Jim Webb's personal experience in war. Believe it or not, these things do and have happened. I have heard similar stories from Air Force enlistees who have been sent to these areas of the world in the 1990's. They are a part of the military experience and have a definite effect on these military troops.

Pope apologizes
The Pope apologized for his speech and said the words that he quoted did not reflect his own opinions. See article below.

My analysis of the Pope's speech
The transcript of this speech can be found on the Vatican Website at: Meeting with the representatives of science at the University of Regensburg
The speech the Pope made, the source of current controversy, was delivered at a university and was about Faith and Reason. The Pope describes his time teaching at the university and their tradition of the faculty meeting as a group before the students in order to discuss how the different departments fit together to form a whole of knowledge.
The Pope speaks about the relationship between faith and reason. He states that he was recently reminded of this subject while reading a 1391 dialogue between Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus and a Persian educated in Islam and Christianity. The quote the Pope specifically mentions is:
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached".
He goes on to explain that violent conversion is contrary to Christian/Greek Philosophical notion of reason, and therefore is against the nature of God. The Pope continues with: " But for Muslim teaching, God is absolutely transcendent. His will is not bound up with any of our categories, even that of rationality. Here Khoury quotes a work of the noted French Islamist R. Arnaldez, who points out that Ibn Hazn went so far as to state that God is not bound even by his own word, and that nothing would oblige him to reveal the truth to us. Were it God's will, we would even have to practise idolatry." In these statements it appears (to me, at least) that the Pope is declaring that Christianity is based on reason and Islam is not.
The Pope uses the rest of the speech to describe the evolution of Christian philosophy, from its fusion with the reason of Greek philosophy, through its various stages of dehellenization, up through the present conflicts/potential partnership with modern science.
Nowhere in the speech does the Pope contradict the insinuation that Islam is evil and without reason. (Some may argue that all religion is without reason. Please, see the transcript linked above if you are interested in the Pope's treatment of this subject.)

Muslim Brotherhood is right to be upset about the Pope's speech
It is gravely irresponsible for a religious leader of such international significance as the Pope to make these statements. His remarks, in effect, equate the basis of Islam with evil and alienate all Muslims. There are individuals who use their own twisted vision of Islam as an excuse for violence and terrorism. But Islam on the whole does not advocate violence, and Muslims are not evil. The Pope should be building bridges of understanding between the major world religions.

Is Couponing Worth It?
I have been out of work since June and I thought I'd try to save some more money grocery shopping. I already hit the loss-leader sales, stock up, compare prices. So, I decided to try couponing. I started collecting coupons and I joined a couple of coupon swaps online. Now I am trying to match up the coupons with the sales (which is what the expert couponers recommend). I am getting so tired of looking at/handling coupons! I have to wonder if it is really worth the time and extra effort. I have been spending hours on this, and I don't enjoy it. I am trying to get a job, but haven't had any luck. Hopefully, I'll get something soon, before I start dreaming I am drowning in a pile of coupons!

Gaming Last Night - AD&D
A bunch of us got together to game last night. We get together about one or two Saturdays a month. I had one of those seemingly original gaming moments. My cleric used her staff of slinging to shoot a silver fork at a were bear, taking it to half its hit points!

You have got to read this article! It sounds like the premise for a very bad movie. These people are out of touch. They held a neighborhood meeting where they had to announce that they were to no longer feed the raccoons!!!! Who feeds raccoons? Uh, why do you think people secure their trash cans? To keep raccoons away. Raccoons are a nuisance. Sure they are cute, but from a distance.

My Kingdom for Some Sleep!
I have been having sleeping problems for what seems like forever. I was falling asleep on the way to and from work. Because of that, I stopped working in June and went to see a sleep specialist. The specialist scheduled me for a sleep study at the end of July, which I have since completed. They called me later that week and asked me to come in to do another sleep study at the end of August (next week). I asked them what was wrong with me and they said the doctor wouldn't talk to me about it until after my next sleep study. Wait, wait, wait. Meanwhile, I can't get any productive sleep, and I can't work. It's driving me crazy.

Yesterday
Well, it looks like only one of the three pictures I sent actually uploaded to my blog. That's OK. We went to Big Fish last night for dinner. I love that place! I had the blackened catfish with fruit salsa, potato mashers and creamed spinach, with a shiraz. We walked the beach last night. It was beautiful. The moon was huge and orange. It was breezy and cool. Some groups of people were playing volleyball. Oh, and Rehoboth rocks! I had 4 wireless networks to choose from!

Vacation
We're going on vacation tomorrow for three days to Rehoboth beach. I can't wait. We have been running around all day to make sure we have everything. We were going to go for 5 days, but I had to take a leave of absence from work, so we cut it down to three. I just tested audio posting and posting pictures from my cell phone. I want to be able to blog while we are away.

Rain Rain Go Away!
It's been raining on the East Coast of the US since last Thursday. It's been off and on, but mostly on. There is flooding and marshy ground. About a mile or two down the road there is a car completely submerged under water, on a major road. I know I am whining, but there is only so much rain a person can stand!

Ready or Not! Here Comes Summer...
Yep, it's that time of year again. My middle son finished school on Friday, my oldest is off today (he has no finals today-high school) and has a half-day tomorrow, and my youngest has his last full day today, then two half-days. Tomorrow night, my youngest "graduates" from elementary school. Meanwhile, I have had to take a leave of absence from work, because I have been falling asleep while driving. (I have an appointment at the sleep clinic this week.) I hope they can fix me up, because we really need my income.
So, today is one of those quiet, boring days, where my oldest is bored and trying to find something interesting to do. This is the way it is all summer, every summer, for him. I hope he gets a job soon, to occupy his time. He has been applying for jobs for months and has not been hired yet. He really wants to work at McDonald's, because it is relatively close to home. In a couple hours, I'm going to take him to Burger King to apply for a job.
My husband sleeps all day, because he works at night. I am somewhat worried that, when I do go back to work, the kids will wake him up too much during the day. Oh well, there's always something.

Losers!
What's with all these losers? I'm talking about these female teachers having sex with their students (usually around 14 years old). It's sick, no matter how you slice it. I don't care that many guys say, "hey, I wish I had a teacher like that!" Kids want to drink too, but we don't give them keg parties or force alcohol down their throats! Oh, but they were grossed-out when one of the women was ugly. They only say that about the hot teachers. And what kind of loser has sex with a 14-year-old when they're that hot? I'll tell you what kind: a pediphile! Call these people what they are-criminals-and put them behind bars.

Why Ikea Sucks
Yes, Ikea does have interesting stuff and reasonably-priced furniture, I agree. But dealing with them is horrific. About a week and a half ago, my husband and I went to Ikea for the first time. We had received their catalog at the end of last year and wanted to see some of the book shelves in person. The parking lot was very large for a store. When we went inside we were amazed at how many people were there. There was a lobby area with some of their products on the wall and a large wire bin filled with shopping bags. We grabbed a bag and went up the stairs. There were sample rooms set up and a walkway with arrows pointing in some pre-determined circuit. The sample rooms were very appealing. There were also areas with little odds and ends, a bedding area, kids stuff, shelving units, etc. We spent about an hour and a half comparing the different shelves and beds. We wrote down our order on the provided info sheets, and we headed for the "checkout" area. We followed signs, we followed arrows, we went down stairs, we went up stairs, we passed a restaurant, a large coat closet full of kids (well, that's what it looked like). We could not find the way to the check out. We wandered through an area filled with bins of various small items. Other shoppers meandered around with the look of deer caught in the headlights. brrreeeport. It was ridiculous. 2o minutes later, we decided the heck with it-we just wanted to leave. We followed signs that said "exit" to find dead ends. (What would they do if there was ever a fire in Ikea!) Somehow, after numerous failed attempts, we pushed through an unmarked door into the lobby and escaped out into the rain. Was that enough for us? No. We figured we would go home and order the items online. We went to the Ikea.com website. Maneuvered our way around it, found most of the items we wanted and ordered them. I promptly received an email acknowledging my order and stating that I would be contacted in 5 to 7 days with the total for delivery and a confirmation. 10 days later I was wondering what happened. I went to Ikea.com and tried to look at my order. They have no capability for looking at your order online. I tried to find a phone number to call, that was another run around. When I finally called it, it was busy. I kept calling and it was still busy. Eventually, I got through, had to go through various menus until I got an option to talk to a person. Then, I waited 30 minutes (I kid you not) until I finally got a live person. I immediately cancelled my order. When they asked me why I was canceling I said that it is taking to long to get my furniture (I was trying to be nice, I figured this guy is just a phone guy doing the old 9-to-5 thing). I am never going to Ikea again.
So, after that fiasco, I decided to look up "Ikea sucks" on a search engine. Well, I hit the motherlode! There are people out there with worse stories than mine. Some of the sites are sad, some are funny, but I was glad I didn't actually get burned as bad as some people out there.

A Million Little Lies - January 8, 2006
Say it isn't so! I am incredibly disappointed! I liked this book, despite the bad writing and lack of punctuation. It somehow gave hope that someone as bad as James Frey could turn himself around, and without a Twelve-Step Program. I don't know if any of what he wrote is true. I spent a few hours reading the above article at the Smoking Gun, along with the supporting documents, including police reports. You have to read this article for yourself, if you are a fan of the book.
