But if it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul alive. No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from America: Rather proclaim it, Ryan, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made And filthy dollars for convoy put into his purse: We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is called the Election: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And...

TAMPA — Troops and their families at MacDill Air Force Base are being advised to downplay references to their military connections on Facebook, Twitter and other social media because of online threats made by Islamic State and other jihadi groups.

Navigator, can you help me with this site See the login don’t work and now it’s all kind of faded Obamagirl’s in LA She dropped her best ex-agent Ray A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated But isn't that the way they say it goes Well let's forget all that And give me my old plan if you can find it So I can keep my doc, and make an appointment to go When I’ve taken a blow Or I’m not feeling well I wish I could trust his words Or just convince myself Obamacare wasn’t real...

Army of Love Family of 19 Relies On Chore Lists, Laughter Aug. 16 — Early morning at the Dunham family home, the coffee is brewing, and all is peaceful … but not for long. Soon, there is a bugle call to wake the kids up — all 17 of them. The Dunhams are what you might call a mega-family, and running a family this size is much like a military operation, with mom serving as the general. First, there is a wake-up call for the four littlest girls. "OK — who wants Cocoa Puffs, and who wants Rice Krispies?" the...

The Setting: July 2003Economic conditions - Both India and Pakistan were struggling to recover from the effects of the Asian economic crisis that began in the late 1990s as well as with the effects of year 2000 (Y2K) computer-generated economic problems. Because India was in a better economic position than Pakistan before the Asian economic crisis, it was marginally better positioned coming out of it. The economic crisis fomented significant unrest in both countries, leading to a rise in nationalist fervor and rhetoric. Pakistan's recovery was halted months before the crisis when it found itself suffering from an economic downturn...

"All IP protection technologies will be cracked at some point; it's just a matter of time," Allen Nieman, Product Manager of Activation at Microsoft, told BetaNews in an interview last May. But this week Nieman's concession became a reality as a key generator capable of creating unique, valid installation and activation codes for Windows XP came to light. While patches and cracks for Windows Product Activation have existed since the release of Windows XP, would-be pirates were forced to physically modify system files and risk invalidating their operating system with updates. If it desired, Microsoft has the ability to instantly ...

Last of the Mountain Men Buckskin Bill Was No Hermit, Just A Man Living The Way He Wanted. By Grits Gresham The short, bearded man in fringed buckskins eased into the split-log seat of the shooting bench, nestled into the buttstock of the muzzleloader and squinted down the barrel. "You want me t'catch you?" I offered. "Uhh, naaww," he shrugged into a slightly different position. "Jest let me fall." The muzzle blast was shattering when he touched off the 33-pound, three-gauge musket, sending a six-ounce lead ball thundering into the butt of a log down on the beach. Recoil ...

Bush’s decision to fund fetal tissue research has become one of the most divisive issues I have seen on this board. I campaigned and voted for Bush knowing full well that he was more moderate than I would like. His adept political maneuvering has left me admiring much of his administration. We are a rebellious lot at best and impossible at worst. Anyone who can read will clearly see my utter contempt of his decision to fund embryonic stem cell research. Not only is the research morally appalling, his decision amounts to rewarding people and institutions who are without conscience. ...

I just found out last weekend that one of my service buddies has been diagnosed with GWS. He has six children and runs a small paint contracting business. He is at the point where he has almost lost the business, because he cannot drive, stand on ladders or anything. He is in constant pain, has severe weakness and blacks out and the VA is telling him that his symptoms are not definitive. This man is a God-fearing conservative who served his country with distinction and integrity. He is still working, but is concerned about how long he will be able ...

The law can’t protect your copyrights, but software can. See a Web article you like? Cut and paste, and presto--it’s a part of your newsletter. Great-looking picture on that site? Right click and it’s your wallpaper. The wacky video file that makes you split your sides? E-mail it to 432 of your closest friends. Too bad those days are over. Peter Levy, CEO of Vyou.com (pronounced view dot-com), wants to give Web publishers complete control over who saves, copies, forwards, and even prints their Web pages. Thanks to his company’s Vyoufirst software, site owners can now fully protect their intellectual ...

You can tell by the pitch of her voice she's in a panic. She's put her life in jeopardy and may have risked her loved ones, too. As you scramble to figure out what to do, your fax machine hisses with a message from a secretive Deep Throat who keeps you in the know. ''You now have all the information you need,'' it reads, in a hastily scribbled chicken scratch. If only it could be that easy, you think. One wrong move and they'll be on to you. First will come the death threats and then ... you remember. It's ...

CHICAGO (AP) — Score one for exasperated women: New research suggests men really do listen with just half their brains. In a study of 10 men and 10 women, brain scans showed that men when listening mostly used the left sides of their brains, the region long associated with understanding language. Women in the study, however, used both sides. Other studies have suggested that women ``can handle listening to two conversations at once,'' said Dr. Joseph T. Lurito, an assistant radiology professor at Indiana University School of Medicine. ``One of the reasons may be that they have more brain devoted ...

To all patriots, We face an increasingly serious national crisis. The continuing attempts by Al Gore to manipulate the electoral process in Florida may soon threaten the stability and the future of our nation. The single best hope for averting this crisis is for the American people to step forward once again to defend our Constitution. If you agree, then I urge you to do your part. First, I urge you to send an e-mail to the editors of the major newspapers in your region and ask them to use their editorial voice to help put an end to this ...

That whensoever and so long as we profess to be Neutral, let our public conduct whatever our private affections may be, accord therewith; without suffering partialities on one hand, or prejudices on the other to controul our Actions. A contrary practice is not only incompatible with our declarations, but is pregnant with mischief, embarrassing to the Administration, tending to divide us into parties, and ultimately productive of all those evils and horrors which proceed from faction, and above all, That our Union may be as lasting as time; for while we are encircled in one band, we shall possess the ...
