Good to see that you put away the partisan knives, Don. :^) BTW, I agree that there's plenty of blame to go around from local gov on up to the fed response.

Just general mumbling about *intent* which never once took into account how the existing energy infrastructure would be handled and supported. This infrastructure works, and it works because the people in it are well paid and non-union.

You run companies like this out of business if there is nothing for them to do. Then they aren't there when you need them. By not specifically addressing the domestic energy issues, the Democrats basically inferred, by default, that keeping the existing domestic energy industry healthy would be less than a priority. Lots of folks, and not just the ones in the energy industry, knew that this would be a disaster and they voted *against* the Democrats.

Why are you blaming the Democrats for abuses by Republicans with complete control over the Executive, Legislative, and often the Judicial branches of government? The Democrats know their efforts are futile at best.... it creates a political challenge where the opposition doesn't know whether to dissent or support for purely political reasons what the Republicans are doing. I still dont think blaming a lacking opposition for the criminal behavior by the incumbents is entirely fair.Which is exactly what Clinton did........ignore the UN because it didn't suit his needs, which should have been protecting the interest of this country, but wasn't.........and you need to learn how to spell *shit*.

That just confirms how much of a dickhead you are, Dumbya."Expecting Armageddon" and Christian organizations don't define Christianity. Armageddon is predicted in the Bible, but no one knows, or will know when it will happen until it does. I'm not really hoping to witness it myself, but also don't have reason to fear it if I do. Some people do believe we are in the last days, and perhaps we are, but that may simply depend on your perspective. Those days could be numbered in the single digits (tomorrow) or millions (e.g. thousands of years, or more). I believe science is mostly right in that the earth has been around for millions of years (quantifying those years may be inaccurate), and it could be millions more. The Bible says that to God, a day is as a thousand years - that could be a reference for people that didn't understand a million, or it could just be a simple "for example" and have absolutely no time value whatsoever - time isn't relevant to God anyway. (I think God has a good laugh when we worry about such things). That doesn't change the way I live my life or my faith - it is the same either way, or at least it should be (emphasis on "should" more than "is"). Yes it is quite possible the US is playing a role in setting up the end of days - every country may be, or perhaps every country is irrelevant, as God's plan is going to happen anyway. We do have free will to make our own choices, for better or worse, but it's still temporary. God's will? That is simply for us to have a loving relationship with Him - at least that's the only part we can be absolutely sure of. Everything else either serves that one single purpose, in one way or another, or just is what it is. Perhaps that's all He wanted with Iraq - to give more of His people (i.e. all people) a chance to come back to Him.

Dunno if you've ever been privy to the insiders gossip. They discuss biblical prophecy regarding what is now China and Russia. If you know what I'm talking about you know what I'm talking about.

When the best the feds could have done, would not have made more than 1 day's difference, to then bring up Iraq and Kyoto and all these other partisan unrelated issues, to bash the president once again using such a tragedy, is is inappropriate and unacceptable, even immoral to many of us. Apprently it is just fine with you though. Balance is not hearing both sides presented here, nor is it partisan to expect the anti-Bush tirades to abate for a few days at least during this awful event. It's the decent thing to do. It's obvious to most people. To obfuscate this point, to simply turn words around into a debate is intellectually corrupt. This is what passes for reasoning with you and I am not going to participate. It is clear that you are less honest fair or balanced than you present yourself as, and I will not be responding to you in the future. DCThere's two big-picture views of last-day prophecies. One treats books like Ezekiel, Daniel, Revelation, and others like a code or a set of specific predictions to happen in the future. These folks make numerous predictions about rebuilding the temple and the establsihment if the state of Israel is ennormously important to them. They argue endlessly about tribulations and milleniums and even sometimes try to set dates in advance for things. The other is one that follows the advice to the wise virgins to trim your lamp and watch and wait, to stay awake. These people see prophecy fulfilled in hindsight as a way of strengthening their faith rather than as a crystal ball for what will happen next week, and many are agnostic about tribulations, raptures, and milleniums. They are horrified that some Christian leaders pretend to know things that they do not, and when proven wrong, just change the subject. They prefer the Gospel to human specualation, and are in it for the long-term. I am of the latter group.

This will work, but if you are taking visual cues from your scrolling editor while automating mix moves, you will be behind the curve the whole time. Also, the UAD-1 Delaycomp is a VST plugin, uses CPU cycles (it doesn't use the UAD-1 DSP card) and it needs to be used with a VST/DX wrapper so if you have a 48 track project happening with a Delay Comp plugin on each track, you will have a significant amount of CPU involved in running that many Delay Comp plugins and you will only have 16 more plugins available in Paris. This is why I'm using a second DAW running Cubase SX streaming the tracks via lightpipe and summing in Paris. It's expensive and time consuming to set up and get it all happening, but once you've got your head around it, it's a dream come true for mixdown with 4 x UAD-1 cards.

It's interesting, but for me that's as far as it goes (at least beyond my own personal pondering from time to time). We don't know for sure, and don't gain anything by trying to figure it out. God does have a plan for each of us (or knows our future depending on how you look at it), but the only way to figure it out is to just seek His guidance daily and then look back and say - "that seemed to be planned -I did learn something." For me it's usually a dumb decision I made, and wondered why later :-). God works everyday, we just usually get too caught up in our day to day or looking for lightning bolts to notice.

Certainly, it is only an opinion but, I think that anyone whose website features a RAP tune that begins with the words "Since I was a sperm in my mom's privates" (and gets worse from there) does not have the same operability in the logic genes that most other folks have... especially if or when that same person holds his/herself to be more intelligent than a world leader.

I've got a Honda Passport with a 21 gallon tank. I can get about 400 miles (highway) out of it.. I've also got an Accord with a (I think) 12 gallon tank that I can get almost 400 miles out of on the highway. Both are paid for and have been for years. Next for me will be hybrids. No doubt about it at all. I may buy an old pickup truck to park next to the horse trailer to use occasionally for short hauls of horses and hay. That all the action it's going to see.
