Go back and watch Enemy of the State, SPECIFICALLY the John Voit Gene Hackman scene where he is dressed as a beat cop and Voit delays things with the “we know what everone else dosent, we are at war 24 hours 7days a week, we have 10yr olds downloading encryption off the internet we can barely even break”… Was that going on in 1997-96 when the film was shot and in post production, that was just what 7yrs after Al gore Invented the “series of tubes” AKA internet ?LOL?

. . . a friend of the court brief that is a marvelous work of Newspeak as described by George Orwell in his novel of a horrifying future where words mean the opposite of their original definitions.(or are convoluted as Jefferson warned “to mean everthing or nothing at the same time”; at the whim of those in power)
On the one hand, the brief argues that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms that predated the creation of the U.S. government by the people. On the other hand, it concludes that any and all guns can be controlled or banned if a federal court finds that to be reasonable restriction or ban.
The brief asserts, with no proof whatsoever, that there is an “unquestionable threat to public safety that unrestricted private firearm possession would entail….” It is somewhat amazing that a brief in defense of the DC gun ban would say such a preposterous thing. It is the District of Columbia, with its gun ban, that usually has the highest murder rate of all U.S. jurisdictions. In high-gun-ownership jurisdictions such as neighboring Fairfax County, VA (with nearly twice the D.C. population), the murder rates are much lower. In Fairfax County it is more than 100 times less than the D.C. murder rate.
In some thirty pages of flip-flopping arguments, the Justice Department brief never once considered what the founders of the American republic might have meant by the phrase “shall not be infringed.” But the Clement brief did criticize the idea that the Second Amendment was a categorical prohibition on banning guns.
The opinion of the DC Court of Appeals (DCCA) overthrew the DC handgun ban (and ban-by-trigger lock of long guns) on the grounds that the Second Amendment protects the individual right to keep and bear arms.

People in crowds behave just like sheep, scientists claim, by blindly following one or two people who seem to know where they are going.
Researchers at Leeds University believe their findings could have important applications, notably in the management of disasters.

THEN there is that oft talked about study where students were devide into prisoners and guards, over 2 weeks they were told to order around the prisoners and march them, keep them on a schedule and such, the experiment had to be stopped as the “guards” starting going beyond what was scheduled and getting abusive.

…What is the future of the 700,000 acres of Kentucky that are in the Daniel Boone National Forest?
A meeting to kick off long-range planning for the forest is scheduled for Tuesday in Lexington.
The Forest Service, along with the Southern Group of State Foresters, started the two-year effort last month with the first of 15 meetings around the region. The Lexington meeting will be the eighth.
Thirteen Southern states and parts of the Caribbean are included in the project.
Greis said much of the discussion has centered on the effects of disease and insects on the forests, and how they will fare as the South becomes more urbanized. People representing forest industries, environmental groups and local, state and federal governments have attended.
The Lexington meeting will be at Four Points Sheraton, Stanton Way. It will begin at 1 p.m. and end at 5 p.

Could A”top secret” version of this be used to blind the Princess Diana driver?
One company has received an $800,000 contract from the Department of Homeland Security to develop a new “non-lethal” method of human incapacitation for use by law enforcement.
By 2010, Intelligent Optical Systems hopes to be selling a sort of high-powered flashlight, the “LED Incapacitator,” which would act by not only effectively blinding its target, but overloading his or her brain, with rapidly flashing lights at varying colors and frequencies. In addition to disorientation, headache and nausea are also likely.

HELP! NEED CELL PHONE ADVISE.
I would like to get rid of my landline and just have a cell phone bill to pay. HOWEVER, I have dial-up for the computer. If I switch to cable/high speed,etc., then isn’t it going to cost as much, if not more, than if I would have just kept the landline phone? Also I have a realiable Nokia that I like however, I do not need all the fancy do-daddy stuff. I know 99.99% come with a camera, etc., I don’t need a camera, never do texting, etc. I just need a plain reliable phone that has a speakphone on it. I can hear a canary break wind a mile away but have trouble hearing close up. I use on average 200 minutes a month, which with the 250 a month plan I have now, leaves me with tons of roll-over minutes. Any ideas? Anyone?
February 19th, 2008 at 2:52 am
I think there is a Cable / Internet / Telephone provider all wrapped into one, but I don’t exactly recall the name…
KIH Internet provides phone and net service I think, better DSL then ALLTEL/WINDSTREAM for less, but I don’t think they do cable.
Local cable offers RoadRunner Internet.
Check RR.com or RoadRunner.com, can be tacked on to your existing cable bill, but don’t know how much more, probably not much more then dialup is.
Alternatively, I think you can get a modem adapter for your cell phone.

U.S. Credit Markets Collapsing!
by Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. 02-18-08
The U.S. credit markets, the giant growth engine that powers the American economy, are collapsing … with few credit sectors spared from damage, few investors escaping losses, and little hope of federal action that’s quick or strong enough to make a major difference.
Here’s what’s happening …

6:55a.m. Tuesday morning. Can’t believe they haven’t either called off school or delayed it for an hour or so. Bath County is on a 2 hour delay. I have about 1/2″ of snow on my front porch and it’s still flying around pretty good. Roads are covered.
February 19th, 2008 at 7:59 am
Why is the time off by an hour on here? It will show about 8:00a.m. when it’s actually 7a.m. Hummm.
February 19th, 2008 at 8:17 am
A Lot of parents are refusing to send their children to school today.
I’ve listened all morning and Buses are experiencing icy turnabouts, calling the State Highway Dept to request salt…
Apparently they have little regard for the safety of children Kat.
They are more interested in loading them into seats in yellow wheeled boxes and giving them a sleigh ride to the govt facility of learning… so it would seem.
February 19th, 2008 at 8:24 am
I heard ya nighthawk, I’m sittin’ right here watching them turn up to the school and the traffic coming pass here isn’t going very fast. Snow, as you can probably see at this hour, is still coming down at a pretty good pace. Normally the parking lot of the school is filling up with cars and I only see 7 over there right now at 7:23a.m.
February 19th, 2008 at 9:17 am
From looking at the current radar graphic it doesn’t look like we’re going to get too much more snow, but a 2 hour delay would have been in good order for the safety of the children.

Maybe one of these days a good reporter will be willing to do an expose on Rowan Schools, Home of the 5 minute Advance closing notice?
February 19th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Why is it that Rowan is one of the last to notify the tv stations that they will be closed or delayed? Almost 100% of the time, they are the last to be listed. I see Rowan County Christian Adcademy, etc., listed but if they are going to cancel or have a delay Rowan is the last one dragging it’s rear. Who is in charge of making that call? Is it the same one that had school dismissed in the middle of a major flood a couple years ago? When no one could go no where and the buses where having to try to deliver kids up roads that were covered with water? If they would have left them in school where they were safe, the water had gone back down by the time they were to go home. DUH! I know I’m not the only one to remember that idiotic call.
February 19th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
OOPS! I meant I can’t spell Academy? LOL Could it be I graduated from Clearfield? LOL Actually I was on the spelling bee once. I was eliminated because apparently thar ain’t no 8 in the word pollen8. LOL

4 students die in Minn. school bus crash
COTTONWOOD, Minn. - A school bus and several other vehicles crashed in southwestern Minnesota on Tuesday, killing four students and injuring more than a dozen others, authorities said. The bus was hit by a van around 3:25 p.m. on a highway north of Cottonwood. The bus then hit a pickup and tipped on its side, State Patrol Lt. Mark Peterson said.
At least 14 people were hurt. Thirteen students were treated at nearby hospitals.
News of the crash swept through Cottonwood, a small town of about 1,000 people about 121 miles southwest of Minneapolis. About 40 people attended an evening press briefing at Swan Lake Lutheran Church.
When Fire Chief Dale Louwagie was asked what the community could do, he said simply, “Pray.”
Classes were canceled Wednesday at Lakeview School, which serves about 585 students in Cottonwood and Wood Lake, and plans were made to have grief counselors and clergy available to students, a school official said.
The bus was on its regular route, carrying children from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Initial reports said the bus was carrying 40 people, but it actually carried 28 students and a driver, Minnesota Public Safety spokeswoman Christine Krueger said.
Rescue squads and ambulances from many nearby cities arrived at the crash site. The Marshall Independent reported that the first motorists on the scene were asked to take some children to the hospital.
“I parked my car and called 911, and ran to the school bus and the driver was handing kids out the door as fast as I could take them,” Karen Mahlum told the newspaper.
Other motorists also stopped and took kids from the driver. “You just wanted to make sure it was safe,” she said. “They were screaming and screaming on the bus. There were so many kids.”
Pictures from the scene showed the school bus lying on its side on the hood and cab of a pickup truck.
Parents were asked to gather at Lakeview School to await word on their children.
Of the 11 victims taken to Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center, two were in critical condition while one had already been treated and released, spokeswoman Deann Holland said.
Others were being treated for back and neck injuries, lacerations, bumps and bruises, she said.
Two of the victims were taken by ambulance to Granite Falls Hospital, which is about 15 miles north of the accident scene. Hospital CEO George Gerlach said one was 11 years old and the other 14.
“They were treated and stabilized in our ER,” Gerlach said. Neither had life-threatening injuries, but had fractures that required a higher level of care than could be provided in Granite Falls, he said.
They were being taken, one by helicopter and the other by ambulance, to Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, S.D., to undergo orthopedic surgery, Gerlach said.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty issued a statement calling it “a sad night for Minnesota.”
“It is especially heartbreaking when young lives are lost,” he said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who were killed or injured in this tragic accident.”
The victims weren’t immediately identified, and their ages weren’t immediately given.

“maybe someday some good reporter …” all media I am aware of has baggage, or pollitical connections to the owners and controllers that shut down certain topics before they can be covered or even investigated. Some refer to this a “presstitutes” but it is a fact of life that editorial/censorship control is wielded even on so called “independant” media.
SERIOUSLY Watch a few movies on these topics:
“THE INSIDER” Russel Crow, the tobacco scientist that facilitated the tobacco settlement and exposed things like ammonia in cigarettes.
Broadcast News, Holly Hunter wrestles with flash over substance issues of a fictious news network.
THE PAPER; Glen Close attempts to squash the truth in favor of ficticous papers budget.

Ezekiel 3:17-21. “Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die;’ and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet if you have warned the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself. Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he shall die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. However, if you have warned the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; and you have delivered yourself.”

http://blog.cleveland.com/business/2008/02/ohio_job_losses_worst_since_ww.html
The more than 209,000 non-farm jobs Ohio lost from 2000 to 2007 comprised the largest proportionate decline in employment since the end of the Great Depression, a national manufacturing trade group said Wednesday.
Employment dropped by 3.7 percent, the biggest seven-year drop since the period starting in 1939, near the end of the Depression and including the years the U.S. military absorbed millions of American workers to fight World War II.
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:51 am
I don’t know if they are SERIOUS about considering having school today, but I Ice-Skated across my front porch this morning.
Yet they have people out risking their lives to “Test Drive” the roads to see if it is at all possible to bus children out during the aftermath of this ice-storm.
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:53 am
The time is an hour ahead on that last post.
Correct time was 4:51 A.M.
February 22nd, 2008 at 6:07 am
Let’s see… The following Neighboring Counties have Closed School for today:
Bath County
Carter County
Elliott County
Fleming County
And Rowan is still out “Test Driving”…
What Gives?
No regard for safety of children?
February 22nd, 2008 at 6:14 am
I know they closed early yesterday… due to the freezing rain and ice, but still a bit late, as buses were still out traveling in the stuff.
February 22nd, 2008 at 6:25 am
It has been said that MSU is on a 2 hour delay…
Yet Rowan County Public Schools are still in the process of making a decision.
Keep in mind, the time of this comment will be +1 hour, so instead of 5:?? it will show 6:??
February 22nd, 2008 at 6:31 am
Public School has been CANCELED in Rowan County for today.
Official Decision made around 5:25 A.M.
Reasoning was that this would only be a “partial day” anyway, and that it wouldn’t make much sense to hold school on a 2 hour delay, and then close it down a couple or 3 hours later…
I can think of a better reason myself…

I remeber busses running with chains on their tires, but back then, more gravel roads that could not be salted (some did make a mess on occasion doing so LOL?)
With a large staff of drivers lots of skill levels to consider too, IF just IF all the youngins’ did not have to ride over 4miles average on buses, attendence rates could be higher on mucky days, if the school was 5-10min walking distance on average, ya know, “multilevel” classrooms in neighborhood schools; 2 high schools instead of one, or we could just declare the forrest a international biospherse an put a big dome over the hypermart area as per “Logan’s Run” and make everyone live in the dome. (some intellectual eggheads forward thinking “dream”)
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:39 am
All the counties in the area dismissed around 12:30-1:30pm and there is a FUNDING motivation to consider. IF schools go past a certain number of hours it is counted as a full day for the calendar and for the funding recieved from the state/commonwealth/? That factor has been a old issue for years, the idea that the accountants might be motivating safety decisions. As I have heard cynics declare over the years, “it all comes down to money, for us all eventually” or some variation.
February 22nd, 2008 at 9:24 am
5:40 a.m. is approximately when it was posted on snogo, but decision to close would have to had been made around 5:25 a.m. as it was put across the Rowan County Schools freq prior to my post at 5:31 a.m. (Remember the hour difference).
“Ouch!”
February 22nd, 2008 at 9:26 am
Try this again as part of my post was cut off in transit…
5:40 a.m. is approximately when it was posted on snogo, but decision to close would have to had been made around 5:25 a.m. as it was put across the Rowan County Schools freq prior to my post at 5:31 a.m. (Remember the hour difference).
“Ouch!” That fall to the ground had to hurt.
Yep, A school employee stepped out of his truck onto a solid sheet of ice while upon his “road test” mission—-and met with the ground. I’m really thankful that a deadly crash didn’t occur during that little “road test” the Rowan school system felt so necessary to conduct.
I too remember Chains on the tires of the buses, and the shorter ride to school.
I also remember that those chains were a “safety precaution” and don’t ever recall buses traveling ICY roads (at least not solid sheets of ice).
And about the FUNding replacing the common-sense decisions… I would have to hold the same opinion, that funding seemingly outweighs a common-sense decision when it comes to child safety now a days.
Why not just build one giant elementary school to house every child in the county, and maybe we’ll live in the hometown of the next student sniper incident before much longer. Seems to be the expected result of overcrowding of multiple cultures mixed with under-staffing of teachers to supervise the children.
When I went to school, If a sheriff appeared, it was to teach us gun safety.
“This is a gun. A gun can’t kill you… It’s the person holding a gun that can kill you.” (Lays gun on table and shouts) “Kill Gun! — Kill!” (Gun doesn’t do anything but lay on table).

well-publicized example was conducted by Money magazine. In 1998 they asked 46 professional tax preparers to figure out a hypothetical tax situation. All 46 came up with different answers, and not one got the right answer.[7] It is naïve to believe that more IRS audits and better enforcement will solve the problems found in our Tax Code.
The U.S. Tax Code began in 1914 as a two-page form with 14 pages of instructions. Since then, it has steadily grown into a behemoth with hundreds of different forms and publications, and nearly 47,000 pages of law, court cases, and supporting documents that one must understand to do his or her taxes. In comparison, Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, which contains complete definitions for every word in the English language, is only 2,783 pages.

The US tax code — with its “nine million word mountain of verbiage” — is so complex and “littered with impenetrable passages” that a fictional tax return given by Money magazine to forty-five tax preparers resulted in forty-five different calculations of the correct amount of tax due. This is not surprising since IRS employees (Forbes says that there are 97,440 of them) don’t even give the same answers to tax questions. Forbes mentions a 2003 Treasury Department study which found that callers to the IRS toll-free help lines “gave the wrong answers to tax-related questions more than 25 percent of the time.”
Forbes also reminds us that our tax code kills jobs by penalizing people for “productive activities,” “punishes savings by taxing dividends,” and breeds corruption by “encouraging the crassest, crudest political conduct.” The estate tax “destroys capital.” Tax increases exacerbated the Great Depression. High tax rates discourage investment, hamper economic growth, and “make it extremely difficult for most Americans to amass vital savings for college, retirement, or the starting of a business.

Be it Starleo or J Q Public. There is a conditioning program afoot for over a decade to create the “I’m offended” victim mentality, a side effect of the Pollically correct crowd that claims not to offend anyone or tries to and imposed their standards on us all. This little enclave of North Easturn Canutuck is really isolated in a lot of ways; besides over the decades the real lack of media diversity (like a variety of talk radio);
Heck it took roller blades and Mountain Bikes over 7-10years to get here. BMX took along time too. Anyway, just cause you think you have the socal standards police on your side doesn’t mean you are acting like an American. I have no patience for people with no patience and am offended at the thin skinned always looking for something to find offensive to police mentality too. Nothing wrong with keeping the word useage out of the gutter and some level of common courtesy is in order but get off the extremes of “I’m offended” or hey Its “free speech” (anything goes); not really.

On the Cancer post over on the “whats bugging you thread”
http://www.freshhealthyuseful.com/2007/01/dca-a-cheap-safe-effective-cure-for-cancer/
The molecule dichloroacetate — DCA for short — appears to be able to kill cancer cells by changing the way they make their energy, according to new research from Canada. In an experiment at the University of Alberta researchers found that DCA was able to kill lung, breast, and brain cancer cells while leaving normal, healthy cells unharmed.
The results were pretty amazing, to say the least. But it gets better. DCA, which has already been used for years to treat certain metabolic disorders, has the following benefits:
It’s inexpensive — No corporation owns a patent for the DCA molecule so it can be manufactured much more cheaply than “typical” cancer drugs…

BUT: “This doesn’t make any sense?…glycolysis is the one metabolic function our bodies can maintain in an anaerobic or aerobic environment, and the Krebs Cycle won’t work without it. And the only time lactic acid is produced is in an anaerobic environment when pyruvate is converted to lactic acid to keep glycolysis running while the Krebs Cycle can’t produce the NAD+ for glycolysis. Without glycolysis, we couldn’t produce ATP. No ATP= death. Maybe the media isn’t touching it because it’s not true?
There are many other metabolism pathways other than glycolysis to make ATP. You are mistaken with the Krebs cycle. Krebs cycle, in the mitochondria, needs oxygen, while glycolysis is mainly used in an anaerobic environment. Glycolysis takes a glucose molecule and makes it into 2 Pyruvates molecules and by doing so produces 2 ATPs (net). Those 2 pyruvates can then be used in the mitochondria to make another 38 ATPs, but there can also be many, many other molecules that can enter the mitochondria and be transformed into Acetyl-Coa to then enter the Krebs cycle. Example: free faty acids, amino acids, aspartate, glutamate, and many others. Not only pyruvate….

A WARNING…would also encourage oncology professionals to be on the lookout for cancer patients with unexplained changes in renal function or electrolytes, peripheral neuropathy, or elevated serum hepatic transaminases - as DCA is widely-available, there is a high probability that clinical professionals will be encountering patients with DCA toxicity if my search queries are any indication of the pervasiveness of interest in this as-yet untested therapy for human cancers.

Subject: Citgo
Verified with SNOPES……..
IN ORLANDO LAST WEEK, AT A CITGO STATION REGULAR WAS PRICED AT $2.82 PER GALLON, NO CUSTOMERS, HOWEVER ACROSS THE STREET
FUEL WAS SELLING FOR $2.85 PER GALLON AND ALL PUMPS THERE HAD CARS WAITING TO FUEL.
Have you noticed how the CITGO signs have disappeared in the past 7-8 months? Very clever move by Chavez.But guess what CITGO IS
CHANGING ITS NAME…this is serious Americans…make sure you read
NEWS FLASH:
Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin. The ! RUSSIANS are building an AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in Venezuela, to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups throughout the Americas .
Chavez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela for him. It is li kely only a matter of time, if not already, before Chavez has Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types aimed at: Guess Who?
CITGO is NOW in the process of Changing Its Name to PETRO EXPRESS due to the loss of gasoline sales in the USA due to the recent
publicity of ownership by Chavez of Venezuela. Every dollar you spend with CITGO or PETRO EXPRESS gasoline will be used against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms.He will start wars here in the Americas that will probably be the death of millions.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because Chavez ! Is starting to feel the loss of revenue from his holdings.HE OWNS CITGO. This is a very important move that everyone should be aware of.
ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY, CITGO, BEING AWARE THAT SALES ARE DOWN
DUE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM “CITGO-CHAVEZ”, HAVE
STARTED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO: “PETRO EXPRESS”
DO NOT BUY FROM “PETRO EXPRESS” EITHER!!! “PETRO EXPRESS” IS ALSO 100%
OWNED BY “CHAVEZ.” KEEP THIS MEMO GOING SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IS
HAPPENING.BOYCOTT “CITGO” AND “PETRO EXPRESS”
MAKE SURE THIS IS PASSED ON TO EVERYONE IN YOUR E-MAIL LIST IN
THE UNITED STATES AND OUTSIDE OF AMERICA .
March 6th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
I personally don’t care if Citgo OR Petro Express is owned by the NATZIE 4th Reik Operation Paper clip Grandsons or Chevez, there is so much taxes on petro products and gas, elements of the government makes more on sale of gasoline than even EXXON and Shell’s record profits, the rest is the traders in petro futures profits. Strip all the taxes off gas and it would likely be ~1.50gal; THEN FORCE more refineries to be built on bases or wherever by the petro companies FACISTLY nationalised essentially by choking re-regulations during the 1970s that made the 9major domestic oil companies the lackies of New York Bankers and Arabs during the Al-eska pipe line debacle.
(Documented by Pastor Lindsey Williams “THE ENERGY NON-CRISIS )
IF I were the energy Czar gas would be .60cents a gallon before they assinated me.
March 7th, 2008 at 12:48 am
At least the price of vasaline hasn’t gone up that much, or corn oil, since we are getting so blee#$*%^@ped at the fuel pumps eh. WHERE IS WILLIE NELSON and the biodesil crowd since disel is over $3.70per gallon some places? About 3 years ago I heard about some folks in Missouri that were making desil using xxLarge panty hose on clearance as a filter to get out the french fry scraps from resturant vegitable oil and then add about 10% methanol for a total cost of about .35cent/gal given that they could drive around using the stuf to pick up the old oil from area resturants for free;
Remember the VViemar Republic had to print the scrip only on one side to put out the stuff fast enought to chase inflationary devaluation. Save that old cotton underware and such to be recycled into Fed Not-a-notes (maybe United States Notes)?????????? Where can I get a good used wind and solar setup so i can keep my laptop going after the crash? LOL?

Must have had an act of congress occur in Morehead or something. I hear that a “Genuine” Special Election is going to be held in November.

Just why are You asking Us when you’re usually the one with the answers about elections?
March 9th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
You just don’t get it do you Pseudo?
And I’ll bet you never even set eyes upon the old site——but let me tell you… it was loaded with information and predictions of the future of Morehead.
And before you fly off and take me out context—Just allow me to clarify that the word “predictions” doesn’t refer to the occult or anything as used above—it simply means “Educated Guesses”.
Maybe your right, this may have made for a good article, but just look what few comments the Windstream thread is generating. And with everyone in the county complaining about the phone company and all.

I don’t know if all the non 50c3′d (non government) Ministers have given up, but I know a few of them still exist today.
Perhaps they will join in some conversation and discussions with us, here upon the board. Perhaps a few are already here, reading, and maybe a few are posting a few important things here and there…
I know of a couple, but most ministerial works seem to have departed from this board.
So if you are out there reading this, it is your calling… It is time for teamwork.
It doesn’t matter to me if your spelling isn’t perfect, or if your grammar isn’t the best, neither does it matter to That.
I’m not here to earn the italian neck-tie award as I do not qualify for such, although it could happen accidentally, a chance that I’m willing to take.
Speak up and speak out, even if in the form of electronic scribe. It is time to defeat the evil that plagues us once and for all.
March 14th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
So the ministry has been stolen, but everyone is “sworn to secrecy” and won’t speak up to take it back? What, are you afraid of a bunch of Roman Conquers or something?
To live in freedom or to die in comfort?
I’d rather live in freedom and let faith comfort me. That is my protection if I am one and one alone That makes two.

The 501c3 enticement allows churches to go into debt; what about that? Violate the usery laws WHAT LAW? The Nazerine said to teach the children that the law was erased jot and tittle and those who teach that wont sink when a millstone is put around their neck? New Vatican3 translation?
March 16th, 2008 at 7:51 am
501c3 turns the church into a government church. You end up with a PAID government minister. The same 501c3 gives TAX EXEMPTION to the churches, but the one true Church is NOT the great whore of Cesar, nor is She to congregate upon by those with the intent to prostitute her out.
Is is written “The love of money is the root of all evil”. Most of those who are planning to make it into Heaven to walk those streets of gold just don’t realize gold is the equivalent of the dust on the road — worthless, valueless, unneeded…
I have witnessed over the last few decades the doors of the walled churches becoming locked except for time of services. Those churches I refuse to enter during services.
When you start locking the halls of congregation it’s a sign of greed outweighing your faith.

The original picture was taken by Kat and is about 2.5MB in size, so I had to shrink and crop the picture to get it on the board. It has lost a lot of it’s original quality, but the best I can do for now.

March 19th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Thanks Nighthawk for putting that up. I appreciate it. Thanks Clearfield Cat. I got a call yesterday asking ME, of all people, why Morehead News couldn’t make clearer pictures. I don’t have a clue. I’m not in the newspaper business and don’t know anything about the process.
March 19th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Newspapers are printed at high speed and the photos are designed to work with that old technology. We have become used to the higher def digital pictures seen on computers (except youtube LOL)
The problems with especially color newsprint (or comic book) pictures is alignment. If the separate color images that are mixed to make a color newsprint picture get off alignment the picture in a paper (or comic book et cetera) gets even blurrier. You can see this by comparison of even the same news paper from different locations around town or some images appear better in the same paper as they are printed in sections. The Paper has to be printed at high speeds to get it out quick after deadline within say 6 hours it is in the mail or all around town(by ~ midnight at the BP for example)
It is old technology but it works more often than not. I can remember the 1st color newsprint picture back in the early 80’s I think for Morehead news; and it was not used very much for cost reasons and usually only in the friday paper.
We only have a paper in this relatively small town because it was bought out by a big corporation and they print something like 5 or 6 papers for other towns for olive hill, and the shoppers et cetera; so like alot of things “you dont miss the water till the well runs dry” might apply. I dont buy the paper on any regular basis; It gets bought for the sales fliers and coupons by some and I dont get to read it before its is tossed out. The effect on the community of not having localized media is profound, that being said; alot of folks DO get the paper regularly (15,000+)(their numbers are higher I am shure)
March 19th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Well, now that’s a good explanation. I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info on the newspaper situation.

URGENT HELP NEEDED AT NEW WAL-MART! HURRY GRAB A BUCKET AND HEAD OUT THAR! DUH! I went out there to get some cat food and get another SD card for my digital camera and there in the electronic section was 5 buckets! with water dripping in from the roof! Geez! Do you think they still a warranty on it? I mean after all, it’s already over 10 days old!
March 20th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
perhaps thay should switch the lawn and garden over thair for housplant irrigation! LOL seriously did any of the merchandise get wet that you saw, since by now its might be dry and they might sell it?
March 20th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
The buckets were sitting in the middle of the aisle so it doesn’t appear that anything other than the floor was getting wet but even with the buckets, it was splattering in-between on the floor. I thought the same thing, that it was too bad lawn and garden wasn’t in that section, might save a buck or two on water.

I went to the Wishing Well today only to see a big, “Going out of business” sign, she said, Kroger was explanding to compete with Wal-Mart and they all had to move. Which means, Curves, the dish network place, Tux and gown rental place, etc.
She said that the landlord had offered them another location but it was undesirable so they were closing on April 26th.

“INSIDE JOB”
“STAY BELOW
THE DESK”
“WHERE IS THE FREE SPEECH ZONE?”
“CLINTON OK’d NUKEs
SOLD TO N. KOREA”
“BILL’s BUDGET BALANCED with
SocSec. TRUST
SURPLUSS”
…
people if you don’t even make a showing how pitiful is that?
post yur own…
March 24th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
So, that does mean that TV10 with make a showing at the Clinton Shin-Dig for the sake of covering local news? Someone at church last night, who will not be mentioned of course, said the same thing I was thinking….”Leave the snakes there, he’ll fit right in”. Of course, that wasn’t a very nice Christian thing to say and they said, “Oh Lord, Forgive me for saying that, even if it is the truth”. They said and I thought it. I bet tons of people will come out of the hills to just be able to tell thar youngin’s that they got to see a real live Adultoress Impreached President. Wow, won’t that be something special to pass along on the family tree that don’t fork.
March 24th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
I suspect the media will outnumber wee people but who knowz who will show up for free or free press, I saw WYMT’s van there today.
The time is primed for evening news LIVE trucks EH? They got Jed Clampet kind of new money

Naah I don’t think so. I think TV 10 would be the best at puttin that little ditty together on U-TUBE. The Clamplett’s meet the Clintons. LOL What a waste of space.
March 24th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Can’t you just see Bill talking to Hillary on the phone and her asking where are you??????? When he answers Morehead?????????? Well…..I’ll just leave it there.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Funny dig from someone livin’ in a trailurr LOL? Hatfield’s callin the McCoy’s black? even thay got smart and capitolized on thair past for Tourism $$$$ some folks are even behind them?
March 24th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
???? I’m confused. What’ the deal with the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s and being black? Just a note, I did NOT post the comments logged in under my name at 4:56p.m. and 4:58p.m. although a cousin of mine did. I was in the litter box. Lesson learned, LOG OUT! even if it’s for a couple minutes. I didn’t even read what this said until I just logged back on at 10:50p.m.
March 25th, 2008 at 12:10 am
Also BIG difference in a ‘trailurr’ as you call them and a mobile home. I live in a custom made mobile home and love it. Not the location of course, but when someone steals your land right out from under you and you’ve already put in your order, ya gotta put it someone and quick. Besides that my Pastor lives in a mobile home and travels the world on missions, one of the Beach Boys lives in a mobile home and if you watch the HGTV channel, from time to time, they have a show called Million Dollar Mobile Homes, and these are located just below Barbra Strisand?s home. Where you live does NOT determine your value. Although plenty believe they are holier than thou because of their social status and no, I’m not talking about you personally. Just saying that a lot of people look down on those that live differently than themselves and you should treat the person that walks to church the same way you treat the one that drives a Mercedes. Don’t label people. We all have our place in this world.
March 25th, 2008 at 10:19 am
The only difference between a trailer and custiom moble home is the age and size. Mobile-home is a contradiction in terms, vagabonds are moblile people with homes are domiciled/”put down roots” and how was I supposed to know you did not post that???(or anybody fer that matter)
The hatfield/mCcoy was a play on “pot calling the kettle black”
since I knew you lived in a “house trailer” as I prefer to call them when I mean no disrespect.
SO I guess we can drop it and moooove on?
March 25th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
GOSH THAT WAS FUN! The CLINTON Motorcade came through the intersection of 32 and 60 at about 6:20?ish? I really can’t remember. I had no intention of going until a girlfriend wanted me to go with her and protest. So I made up a sign that said “GO HOME CLINTON!” in neon pink and taped it to my window just at the right angle on the very corner of Wendy’s as ‘el nuto’ passed by, all the while giving a thumbs down and chanting GO HOME CLINTON! Some little college twits, had to be college because, well, just because no one else is that dumb, no offense to those that actually attend college to learn and not party. Anyway, they jumped out and started screaming: “THERE’S OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!” Ah….I don’t think so silly butts. Oh well, I’ve had my say and feel good that I’ve done my duty as an American to voice my opinion. Truly a red letter day.
March 25th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Well I was there at 6:50 to see how big the crowd was and then they started barracading the street with city police and yellow tape over to the freight station, he came out the east corner of the building and some skinny kid yells “why’d you cheet on your wife?” Right after he shook hands… he ignored him and went on around the semi-circle and then around the 1st barracade to glad hand but as he left he yelled back “READ JOHN Ch. 8″ well that is a ex-executive order since he’s out; that is the story of the adultress to be stoned and the oft quoted “let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone…” what no one wants to heed (Dianne Sawyer et al) is the 2nd part after the crowd leaves “Neither will I condemn you ; go your way and sin no more” ; hard pill to take eh???
March 25th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
John chap 8;
Most worldly ignor the “go your way” part and some see this as a condition for his saving you; a path for some to the 2nd state worse than the first? No one wants for it to “be better if a mill stone were hung around their necks and droped into the sea”, but in “that day” it was/will be for some eh?
March 26th, 2008 at 12:20 am
I’ve never heard of a former prez yelling any Bibical sciptures to anyone. Not saying that he didn’t, it just seems weird. You think that would make national news. I just glad he left quickly so the doors at the state line didn’t hit him in the butt on the way out. Adios mi muy mal amigo.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program……..
March 27th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Was anyone else embarrassed by the signs of the protesters,I thought they were offensive and in poor taste. I was embarrassed for people who brought there kids to something that might be a once in a life time event and had to see such ugliness. I’m not a Clinton fan, but I would like to be an informed voter especially in an election as important as this one.
March 27th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
I went only to crowd watch, I was on the Freight Station porch and was surprised by the hatefulness of the crowd that couldn’t get in. If they wanted in, they should have shown up early & stood in line. The cops roped off the crowds after he spoke so I figured I could get to the library where my mom(she’s 85 but stillikes to pick out her own books)was before Clinton got out. I did but I was pushed, shoved, called names and hit. Hey I am polite person & excused myslef every breathe; but it obviously wasn’t good enough for the crowd. I shouldhave known better and I’m sorry I went even just to watch the crowd.
March 28th, 2008 at 6:15 am
Our Pastor’s wife tried to get out of going as she had no interest in seeing Clinton, but she is taking a photography class at the college and it was part of her class assignment and her teacher wouldn’t let her out of it. Like the other two that just posted, she said that there were several with signs that used the name of our town and related it to Clinton in a really vulgar way. I bet he probably strangled the person who suggested our town.
March 28th, 2008 at 7:35 am
Never until a few minutes ago been on the YouTube website. Went to it and typed in Bill Clinton Morehead Kentucky and clicked on the Clinton confronted in Morehad. YIKES!
March 28th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Truth be told, Clinton should have done two different rallies in Morehead. One for MSU and one for the town. A majority of the people i saw out there in line were MSU students, many of them friends of mine, who had the ability to stand there in line all day because their classes got canceled. For people like myself who REALLY wanted to see Clinton and have this once in a lifetime experience but had a full workday as well, it was frustrating.
“If they wanted in, they should have shown up early & stood in line”, while i understand how one would think this, it is quite faulty. This event was scheduled during the work week, when most people work a full 8 hours a day. in order to do show up and get a good place in line, the adult folks would either have had to play “hookie” for the day or aren’t employed, not the best people to represent the town in my opinion (just like those protesters, too bad they didn’t show any CLASS and just perpetuated everyone’s already skewed vision of Eastern Kentuckian…)
March 28th, 2008 at 8:56 am
hmm…didn’t mean for the “winky” smiley face to pop up, it was supposed to be my end parenthesis. oopsie!
March 28th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Organisers were just being INFLEXIBLE in sticking with the Conference Center WHEN it could have easily been moved to BUTTON Auditorium OR AAC OR SOMEWHERE with more seating;
(Did everyone of the “2000″ inside have to stand in line? NO?)
March 28th, 2008 at 10:27 am
I only heard what one of the signs said 2nd hand and no child would get the reference to
“No clinton
you can’t have MORE HEAD”
unless they had already known the reference to oral sex from another source SO;
I suspect the venue of the Conference center was done just for that reason so that FREEDOM OF SPEACH COULD BE NULLIFIED; DID ANYONE SEE THE POSTINGS ON THE DOORS???
“Any unwanted signs will be confiscated and you will be asked to leave”
CHILLING AIN’T IT? Especially comming from the aledged “left” champions of “free speach”;
just one more puff of smoke in the illusion that is fast becoming “AMERIKA” ; corporo crapitolist military chemo industrial complex formerly known as the land of the free and home of the brave; now run by PR firms working for the wizard of OZ.
March 28th, 2008 at 11:19 am
“like to be a informed voter”? I hain’t sure a pollitcal rally will make one informed, only a real independent media can point you towards starting points for further research as the short attention span theatre cain’t hold most folks conditioned attention for more than 8minute chunks on a good day…
March 28th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Nice thought STARR. I would love it if we could separate ‘MSU’ from ‘OUR TOWN’, alas, it will never happen. As I said several times before, the college kids rule everything around here and those of us born here are second class citizens. They don’t care about our town because they will never have to see the place again in 2-4 years. Kinda reminds me of a Bible passage: “They come to kill, steal and destroy”. They killed our city’s charm and stole our right to stroll our streets in peace and destroyed any sense of pride we once had as locals.
All you have to do if you are working at the college, etc., and want to run for office is spread flyers around campus and you’re voted in. Dear Lord, I pray they aren’t as stupid as usual and show some restraint and some of the grey matter keeps them well informed with an upcoming election.
March 28th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I’m caregiver to my mother & it never occured to me that you’d have to skip out early from work to get in line early, so I’m sorry for that comment- it was out of line. Somedays I’m really dense.
But I agree it should have been on campus, it would have held alot more folks.

True Clearfield Cat, it should have been held on campus but I guess they figured if it was good enough for snakes that it was good enough for Clinton and he’d fit right in. I thought I’d coined a new name by calling the place the ’snake pit’, but was told someone else was already referring to it as that. Can you imagine even the thought of holding a wedding reception, or anything else there knowing all those reptiles have been inside. Yuck. And all for the sake of the almighty dollars do they sell their souls.

I feel the need to counter some of the anti-college sentiments I’m reading on here.
Just FYI, I’m a local AND a student at MSU.
If MSU weren’t here, Morehead would be just like Owingsville or Olive Hill: A bump in the road, no opportunities, kids leaving for the cities (”brain drain”). There’s a reason that Rowan Co. has a much lower unemployment rate relative to surrounding counties.
MSU attracts smart kids, faculty and staff who expand our tax base, spend money, attract new business, etc…
I’m not sure what you mean about ‘ruined charm’ or not being able to stroll the streets - I do it almost every day, no problems?
IF you want to talk about what’s hurting this town, then look to our local gov’t: look at how downtown is dying, everything is turning into parking. The conference center was NOT a bad idea, it’s just a)too big, and b)really ugly.
And what’s with all the snake-hate? I can’t believe you’re serious…Do you believe that herpatologists are innately bad people, or that they’re going to hell? :-??

Well, I’m glad to see you agree that the Snake Pit is too big and really ugly. I, at one time, was also a student at MSU and a local and I lived in the married housing units ar the ‘Blue Zoo’. I think it would be better for the entire community and certainly cut down on the drain on the city police, if all students were required to live on campus or in an area set aside for college students only. That way, we wouldn’t have them sprinkled all throughout the county and large party complaints coming from North, South, East and West and the cops running aroung like crazy to all these Frat houses, etc. The downtown is dying because MSU is taking over everything. Look at Jerry’s Resturant. Yes, it burnt, but MSU was already trying to buy it for more parking, and now they got what they wanted. MSU and the Snake Pit Center DO NOT use local caterers. They use Lexington for their caterers and everyone says the food is terrible. Not that it affects me one way or the other.
As for the herpatologists….isn’t that just a fancy name for someone that doesn’t want to find a real paying job and really work for a living? You waste your life studying snakes? Why? In the Bible, there are many references to snakes and none of them good. Can you tell me one GOOD thing a snake has done? How many people have been bitten and killed? I plain and simply don’t understand why anyone would want to associate themselves with something like that. Ok, now let the postings start rollin’ in.

The Conference center is just part of the problem; one of the main reasons super walmart was brought in was for real estate development behind it go drive up past th
