I can't read those damned things, but his speeds have definately increased considerably. Might check with Blunted as he is pretty good at the FIOS part.

Yeah, where else can I go and argue so much about Puerto Rico, Islam, computer speeds, post whores, chasing women, Presidents, Patriotism, and such. I would say group hug time , but Hank Ho just does not dress right. The bitch. And water would probably goose me and say that I started it.

resopalrabotnic the great TMN derailer. Lol

Well it is BYOB&B, so come on. Lot's to eat. And you will get tired of the fireworks. We do mostly aerials. The sky boomers with lots of lights.

Well the storm activity must be over now. :::..

Well heck that would be 17 miles north of Kansas City Missouri. Sorry tdawnaz I missed that part.

Invite over friends and family, spend too much on fireworks, drink too much soda, put kids to bed. Next day spend half of it cleaning up. We live out of city limits on 2 acres, so everybody comes over to trash the yard.

You are right Dark06 Ecuador to US currency. 39.90 Ecuador Sucre = 0.001596 US Dollar US to Ecuador 1 US Dollar = 25,000.0 Ecuador Sucre Pretty cheap by our standards. But you have to also consider average income. Ecuador 2180 United States 41400 So you put that all togather and you get that we make 19X as much as they do. So I would guess it to be equivalant to about $.03 per month. If I did not figure wrong. But that might still be quite a bit in his country. For their actual cost of living.

OK like I was going to say 27X faster. But .s1 kinda blew the hell out of that one. :protest:

Then you leave me no choice, "The Condy Hulk"!

"Don't move now honey, this might hurt more than usual!"

Absolutely ! !

Now that is funny. The shortest war in history was over What?

Them are some nice speeds. I am truly jealous.

Like you were the first. No big deal, and I would like to apologize for your thinking it was. It is all cool.

Media Ignores the Nation's Heroes At the Baghdad International Airport on April 4, 2003, SFC Smith held off, essentially by himself, an attack by 100 or more insurgents, killing nearly 50 before he himself was mortally wounded. But Sgt. Rafael Peralta, LtCol. Mark Mitchell, Staff Sergeant Stephen Achey, Hospitalman Luis Fonseca and the 13 others profiled by Mr. Weinberger and Mr. Hall are household names chiefly only in their own households, and in the units in which they served. _________________________________________________________ The story that caused me to tear up the most is that of Marine Sgt. Peralta, who has been recommended, posthumously, for the Medal of Honor. Sgt. Peralta was killed on Nov. 15, 2004, during the second battle of Fallujah. His squad was clearing a house. Sgt. Peralta was the first into a room where at least three insurgents lay in ambush. He was shot in the chest and the face, but still had the presence of mind to jump into an adjoining room to give the Marines behind him a clear field of fire. Four Marines maneuvered into the room where Sgt. Peralta lay when an insurgent tossed a grenade into it. Sgt. Peralta pulled the grenade to him and smothered it with his body, saving the others from death or serious injury. Sgt. Rafael Peralta died for a country he loved, but of which he was not yet a citizen. A Mexican immigrant who lived in San Diego, Sgt. Peralta enlisted in the Marines the day he received his green card. "Be proud of being an American," Sgt. Peralta had written to his younger brother in the only letter he ever sent him. ____________________________________________________________ "The dearth of hopeful or heroic stories reported has given viewers a lopsided perspective," they wrote. Soldiers who misbehave make the front page. Soldiers who perform nobly do not. When SFC Smith was awarded the Medal of Honor, the New York Times put the story on page A-13. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/05/post_6.html Very sad indeed!

Sgt. Sar's Silver Star One man's journey from Cambodia to America to Afghanistan--where he became a hero! The sound of the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters echoed off the rugged, snowy ridges, almost 9,000 feet up in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistan border. In the dim first light of dawn, the men of U.S. Army Special Forces detachment Alpha 732 were scanning the fog-bound boulders and trees, searching for Taliban fighters. They spotted a tiny village of earth and stone huts strung out along the top of a ridge. Something didn't look right about the peaceful scene that early morning, March 2, 2005. The Blackhawks touched down, one on either side of the ridge, less than 100 yards below the huts. Six men jumped out of the chopper on the north side of the ridge, and as it flew away they came under intense automatic weapons fire from the village. Returning fire, they sought cover amid rocks and trees in the knee-deep snow. As the other copter had touched down on the south side of the ridge, Master Sgt. Sarun Sar heard the heavy fire and spotted Taliban fighters around the huts above him. The sudden arrival of the 12-man Alpha 732 team by air had surprised the enemy. But the advantage of surprise was evaporating fast in a hail of fire. _____________________________________________________________ Ten months later, home from Afghanistan at Hawaii's Camp H.M. Smith, Sgt. Sar stood at attention as he received the Silver Star, the nation's fourth-highest award for valor in combat. He was a reluctant recipient. He felt that what he had done that day in Afghanistan was "just my duty as a soldier, protecting my guys like they protect me." As to his many missions in harm's way--in the Gulf War, in Bosnia and Kosovo, and through two combat tours in Afghanistan--he says quietly that "it's a small price to pay for this country that I love more than my birthplace, this country that has given me so much." _____________________________________________________________ Ten months later, home from Afghanistan at Hawaii's Camp H.M. Smith, Sgt. Sar stood at attention as he received the Silver Star, the nation's fourth-highest award for valor in combat. He was a reluctant recipient. He felt that what he had done that day in Afghanistan was "just my duty as a soldier, protecting my guys like they protect me." _____________________________________________________________ Sgt. Sar feels the American public has heard only about the fighting in the war against terrorism and not enough about the work to achieve peace. "They should be proud of what their soldiers have done to overcome fear and win the hearts of these people." He chuckles when he recalls that when he first arrived in Afghanistan "the people didn't talk to me. Towards the end they wanted me to marry one of their daughters so I could stay a little longer."

Now here is a guy that is blowing his horn all day, in a much different way. These are pictures of an independent trucker who has painted his cab and trailer with the names of all those who lost their lives in 9/11. The trucker's name is John Holmgren from Shafer Minn. The trucker has been "pulled over" numerous times just so the troopers can get their picture taken with the truck. http://thunderatdeathcorps.250free.com/Webpages/john_holmgren_truck.htm

Bush bans protests at military funerals -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bush bans protests at military funerals By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer Mon May 29, 10:33 AM ET WASHINGTON - President Bush, marking Memorial Day with a speech paying tribute to fighting men and women lost in war, signed into law Monday a bill that keeps demonstrators from disrupting military funerals. In advance of his speech and a wreath-laying at America's most hallowed burial ground for military heroes, Bush signed the "Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act." This was largely in response to the activities of a Kansas church group that has staged protests at military funerals around the country, claiming the deaths symbolized God's anger at U.S. tolerance of homosexuals. The new law bars protests within 300 feet of the entrance of a national cemetery and within 150 feet of a road into the cemetery. This restriction applies an hour before until an hour after a funeral. Those violating the act would face up to a $100,000 fine and up to a year in prison. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060529/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_1

I just thought this was an awsome find. Nice floral arrangement. That has to be a lot of work. THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB. Check out the dimensions of the flag. The 2002 Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order ..10834. This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24 feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet wide. This Flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants, with 4-5 flower stems each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers. You can drive by this flag on V Street south of Ocean Ave. in Lompoc, CA! Aerial photo courtesy of Bill Morson Soldiers' Prayer
