I want to say thank you to jim and john for scrambling to get us back up and on the net. I kept waiting for someone to post a thread but didn't see one and thought it remiss, Have we become that lackidasical? Jim and John, you protect my freedom and my sanity. I cannot begin to thank you enough for what you are doing every day for our nation. As I remember your servers are not at your location and so some travel is envolved in a fix like this, Thank you.

STROKE HAPPENS. To you. To those you love. Know the signs. Act fast. A stroke happens when a part of the brain dies from lack of blood, usually because one of the arteries that supply oxygen-carrying blood to the brain has been damaged. There are two ways this can happen: Clogged vessel or ischemic stroke: Caused by blockage of a blood vessel in the brain, usually by a blood clot or by fatty deposits on the vessel wall. 85% of strokes are ischemic. Burst vessel or hemorrhagic stroke: Caused by a ruptured blood vessel, preventing normal flow and allowing blood...

Let us now contemplate the unthinkable. That in their second attempt to steal an election, the democrats and their syncophants in the press manage to steal this election. What will this mean, for our country, for Iraq, for the war against the fanatic Islamic hegemonists? Kerry has said he will continue the struggle but I for one doubt it, his history argues against it. Will we face increased attacks in this country because of democrat ineptitude, or PC foolishness? And what will this mean for Her Hilleryness, she would perhaps be running against the incumbent of her own party in...

Tonight is the big night for the Party For the President. I'm not going to one but I thought we could have our own right here on FR. Bring the Chips and dip and get comfortable. I will be here all evening and hope you all drop by. We saw the attempts by the democrats to manipulate the electorial process last time, in November we need to give President Bush a MANDATE to lead. Go Bush/Cheney!

Well, it's like this, my boss is a computerphobe, and swears his machine is out to get him. It has given him nothing but headaches since he's had it. I personally think he has some kind of negative electrical impulse that affects it but what ever it is, he only has to touch a keyboard for things to get weird. Today, he was trying to get booted up for his daily round of Solitare when Zot! the evil machine began acting on it's own (or so he says.) His machine requires a powerup password which he typed in but after...

The majority 10 democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee on Thursday engaged in a voting maneuver so extraordinary that some of the senators themselves were unsure what happened. First, they allowed one of President Bush's conservative judicial nominees to be approved by a voice vote. Then, one by one, all the Democrats present asked that they be recorded as having voted against the nominee, District Court Judge Dennis Shedd. In effect the Democrats arranged it so they are now recorded as voting against Shedd after failing to make any effort to block his confirmation. Many Senate veteran staff aides and...

Having become semi-computer literate and having learned some Html,I can now find my way around somewhat. I have learned to use google and other search engines and have learned some Boolean terms and how to use quotes and the + sign. Still, I am having a hard time getting the information I need without tons of extra hits. I know my fellow freepers can come up with a guide for beginners on "HOW TO SEARCH" . One of the advantages of FR is that there are so many talented individuals here,lets share the knowledge and start digging up REAL information. ...

RELEASE: 01-36AR SATURN'S 'TILTED' RINGS REVEAL MYSTERIOUS COLOR VARIATIONS Composite images of Saturn's rings, taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, have revealed mysterious color variations that hint that the rings could be made of materials from the outer solar system. These new findings are important because scientists have long questioned whether the rings originated around Saturn, like the planet's retinue of icy moons, or elsewhere. The Hubble images, captured by a team of scientists between 1996 and 2000, show Saturn's rings from beneath in a wide-open or "tilted" viewpoint from Earth, as the planet's Northern Hemisphere swings from autumn ...

Once a Chekist ... By MIRIAM LANSKOY The Institute For The Study Of Conflict, Ideology And Policy Since his inauguration, Russian President Vladimir Putin has waged an ever-widening assault on every potential source of political opposition -- the media, the governors, big business. Although far from perfect, these institutions do represent the rudiments of a pluralistic society, the development of which is threatened at present by the vast powers of the presidency and Putin's growing reliance on the security forces. Some recent commentary on Russian politics no longer stigmatizes an association with the bloodiest organization in human history. Quite ...

Science takes first steps in growing artificial breasts Lois Rogers, Medical Correspondent SCIENTISTS have successfully carried out the first human trials of replacement nipples that have been grown in a laboratory. Although it is intended to develop the rest of the breasts using cells from a woman's own body, the nipples have been constructed from cartilage that has been derived from purified pig ear cells. Progress in the new field of tissue engineering was discussed at a world congress of transplant experts in Rome last week. There is fierce competition among American biotech companies to be the first to ...
