| ELI CASH’S SHOW IS ALL MONEY
Live area music shows really come into their own when the bands are on, the crowd is stoked and the electricity crackles through the air. On Nov. 17, the OneSixNine hosted one of those shows. The strange thing is that you never know as a listener, or as a musician, when shows like this will come together. Certainly, there was nothing in the air beforehand that portended anything of the sort. But to paraphrase an old sports line, that is why they play the shows. Performance volatility is common with up and coming bands. I mean, take a fancy band like Boston or Kansas or Loverboy and you know exactly what you're going to get on a nightly basis. But take some kids with a few loud amps and limitless dreams, and it can be feast or famine. .
The Evangelical Rebellion
The early followers and lovers of Jesus were called members of THE WAY-being THE WAY he taught and what is NON-NEGOTIABLE for his followers: Remain Nonviolent-even if mocked, whipped and nailed to a cross, be a Peacemaker and do the will of the Father. My CHRISTmas gift 2 U: *Wisdom has built her house and SHE calls to all; "Come, eat my food and drink my wine and you will live abundant life and walk in the ways of understanding." [*Proverbs 9: 4-6] Wisdom calls; "I have built it; will you come? Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear? Holy Wisdom, the Feminine Divinity: Hokema, Who was with The Word from the very beginning, She is One with Him and He with Her; Pure Being; One God; One Creator; One Lover of All the Human Family… Let me tell a little story to illuminate you, if you haven't heard the one about the Rabbi Hillel, Who lived 100 years before Christ walked the earth Rabbi Hillel knew that the Hebrew understanding of Hokema; Holy Wisdom; The Feminine Divinity Was the same as the Greek understanding of The Logos: The Word.
Mother charged with cruelty and abuse
The little boy was reportedly beaten twice to the point of unconsciousness.
When child protection investigator Sally Beckett interviewed him in November, he begged her not to reveal what hed told her or hed get a double whipping.
The boy was one of seven children removed by the Department of Children and Families from Emose Oceants Cape Coral home. Investigators have alleged the 35-year-old abused at least five of her children with belts and boards. They claim in reports the children slept in the woods and on urine-stained sheets in a garage for offenses such as playing too nice with the others.
In 44 pages of discovery documents prepared by Cape Coral police Detective Melinda Behrens and released by the state attorneys office, new details have emerged about Oceant, whom police say moved to Cape Coral from Port St.
Psychos in suits: corporate CEOs in need of (an) asylum
Mintzberg is a staple in the diet of many MBAs, and his words may signal a sea change in business teaching. In the coming months, it is inevitable that more CEOs will hit the fan. But as CEO-smacking becomes the hot storyline this summer, we shouldnt lose sight of the system we let them loose in. This isnt just a few bad apples were talking about here, said Fortune magazine. This, my friends, is a systemic breakdown. True, they were talking about investors money rather than passing comment on whether capitalism is delivering the sustainable uplifting of humanity. Yet, in talking about the system they are in tune with a growing chorus of complaints about global capitalism. When one billion people struggle to survive on less than a dollar a day while in the same period $1.5 trillion is moved around the world in currency speculation; when biologists estimate that half of all life on Earth is at threat from extinction, and anthropologists estimate that half of the worlds languages are dying out; when 19,000 children die every day because of Third World debt, while access to this news is controlled by multinational corporations, five of which are estimated to own 40% of all the worlds media it is hard not to think that global capitalism has become a psychopathic system.
Owner frets as curious cat roams the streets
Our neighbor Donna stood at the front door, tears streaming down her face, a dead bird lying in her outstretched hand. "Your cat did this!" she exclaimed. She was probably right. In their backyard, Donna and her husband had a large aviary enclosed with chicken wire. Our cat, Mickey, popularly known as Mickey Mouse, had been seen (by Donna) hanging out on top of the aviary. At night, when the birds settled up there to roost, he'd pluck them out like olives from a jar. I was deeply sorry. "At least keep him in at night," Donna pleaded. And I did. Though I've always been a believer in letting our cats outside, as nature intended, from then on I started making every effort to keep them in at night. Too dangerous, not only to aviary birds but also to the cats themselves.

The White House is trying to scare Americans to give total control to one branch of government," Boyda said in an interview from Washington. "The Republicans don't have the guts to stand up to the president. They're afraid of some 30-second ad that could be run against them." Here's Rep. Tim Mahoney of Florida: When I got elected," Rep. Mahoney said last week, "I took an oath to defend the Constitution. If some of these companies gave information to the government without the government getting a warrant, that was unconstitutional. "You know what (the companies) said? They said I should vote for the immunity because it's patriotic. That's how weak the argument is." Rep. Tim Walz of Minnesota and Rep. Mike Arcuri of NY have also made strong and smart statements.
Its Official. Chrysler Will Build VW's Bus
After kicking around the mill for a few months, Volkswagen confirmed today that Chrysler will build VW a minivan it can sell for around $30,000 off Chrysler's successful Caravan/Town & Country model. VW has been stymied for some time in the van category, because the Microbus (pictured above) concept it showed a few years back at the Detroit Auto Show could not be built for less than $35,000, and some say more because of the weakeneing U.S. dollar. Too expensive for a minivan, even a redo of the legendary Microbus. The van VW gets from Chrysler will probably not be called the Microbus, nor is it likely to have the stow-n-go seating design Chrysler has in the current van. Indeed, it will be a challenge for VW to make the Chrysler van feel like a real Volkswagen. But the executive who is championing the project, Wolfgang Bernhard, is probably best equipped to make it happen.
