They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Consider this post two thousand words with these two pictures. http://www.saltandlightblog.com/3321/what-a-difference-a-leader-makes/
KFVS reports a man the U.S. government considers a terrorist with ties to Al-Qaeda is now being held at the Marion, Illinois federal prison. Ali Al-Marri, 43, is serving an eight year sentence for being a so called “sleeper agent.” He has admitted to training in Al-Qaeda camps and having contact with the alleged planner of the September 11th attacks.
Many of you already know that I've been on an organizing kick here lately. While I was away in Chickasha, my family has gone off to Tulsa so I have the entire rest-of-the-weekend to myself. I plan to spend some quality time in my sewing room getting everything "just so". While I was at the Chickasha Show, I came up with some new ideas. The first one is this shelf, it hangs on the wall and it has grooves cut in it so that it holds all your rulers. The very nice ladies from Prairie Notions in Allen, Oklahoma had them for sale. Yes I bought one!
I've just returned from the Annual Quilt Show in Chickasha. This is a fun show that they have every year at the Grady County Fairgrounds. They have a craft show and a dog show going on at the same time and admission is free!
Do we need to have a discussion about Islam in America? Do we need to ask these question:
1). When Christian fundamentalists and so called "Far Right Christians" came to power during the Ronald Reagan presidency, why did the media paint these Christians as extremists and dangerous?
2). And now, after the Ft Hood murders and hostile acts from Muslim leaders in the Middles East, why is everyone going out of their way to not accuse Islam of being extreme and dangerous?
3). Will President Obama halt all investigations into the Ft Hood murderer's extremist background?


Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue" is released on Nov. 17, after which
the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate will make
appearances around the country, from Grand Rapids, Mich., to Dallas to
Rochester, N.Y.

Sarah Palin must have the press and other notable nabobs worried, because they continue to bash her. Are they afraid that she will somehow be a driving force in the next election? Gosh, this photo would make a great campaign poster for Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin's new book "Going Rogue" is set for release on Nov. 17 and with that will likely come a media blitz of epic proportions. However, based on the cover of the Nov. 23 issue of Newsweek, someone felt a response was warranted.
The wizards of smart at Newsweek took an image from a shoot of Palin that originally appeared in Runner's World magazine for the cover and splashed the headlines, "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sarah?" and "She's Bad News for the GOP - and For Everybody Else, Too."
and I only had to hang up on tech support in India once (a record for me!).
turns out that all i needed was my IP address. i eventually figured out how to hit the modem to see it (gee - just like hitting the router, but you have to be plugged in to the modem).
for future reference, the key to everything is
192.168.1.1
of course, if I can't get into the internet, I'll never be able to find that. So I used my label maker to put all the vital info on the router itself.
I hope I have at least another 2 years before I go through this again.
